How much do you know about First Nations Treaties and the Crown?
Generally speaking, First Nations treaties with the Crown of Canada seem like something mythical and in the distant past. They are however, very current and in the here and now however. That vague sense of obscurity has been and still is cultivated by a lack of intention by government and a misrepresentation of the facts through education. Some improvement has been achieved in the education system, but more needs to be done and that does not address several generations of lack of and or distorted information instilled in the general Canadian public.
So, rather than discussing whether these treaties are relevant or not, I would like to begin the discussion with the question... what do you, know about the treaties between First Nations and the Crown of Canada? We are all treaty people and we all have some responsibility to be informed.
Jan 29 2013: Jamie, I was once briefly stationed in Goose Bay Lab. I heard the term first nations there and believe it to be the equevilant of what we in the states call "indian tribes".
However, being from the USA I would not be knowledgable of what treaties are in existence in your country.
If my defination is correct ... then please explain where you would like to drive this conversation.
Jan 30 2013: Here Rob.
Though you might be more knowledgeable about your native history this link is not an implication that you are not. I would like to point to the links second english word "nations" so i'm going out on a limb here, maybe the North American Native peoples have always viewed themselves as nations?
I think in this video they allude? to the idea that the system the native peoples used was what your founding fathers used as a base to work from. I don't know as i'm no expert but your native history is beautiful and old man, older than the first Celtic tribes of europe. Older than my own people. I do know that the people of the Sioux were always referred(or they referred to themselves) as The Sioux nation. I could be 100% wrong and open to correction.
Jan 30 2013: As I understand it the Celts came down into the middle east from somewhere and migrated up into the isles we today know them for most. scotland and Ireland. Intermingling all the way you might say... hmmm. I am a product of that myself.
Ken I think you may be right about the Sioux. I will watch the video. I have a lot of respect for that nation.
That is where the White Buffalo calk Pipe sits. A profoundly prophetic symbol of peace.
Jan 31 2013: Hi Jamie, I could trundle through vast pages of modern and old history to catchup but I'm a slow reader, I tend to eat the words (Yes, a bit strange) but that's the best way i can explain it, so. I will ask you instead.
Is it true the tribes are assembling a dreamcatcher that has the feathers of the true white Eagle? and something from the white calf? I'm seeing it through the eye's before there were borders just the natural tribal areas. I only vaguely remember reading something about the feathers and the White calf, or was it a shield? that is to be taken around the nations?
You know the Treaties with the Crown can take a generation or two before before a government will start taking it seriously. Are you 1/4 native? half cast? 1/8th or just a natural native born of different blood, Don't be offended as this is how my people talk to each other when sorting ourselves out with the bloodlines. The last full blood of my people died sometime last century.Jan 31 2013: Yes, that 500 nations Series was pretty good. I also recommend the Seventh Fire.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tneC-yHQhMg
and, this is great!
Feb 17 2013: Glad you passed on the Seventh Fire series in this Conversation....it does explain a lot of 'myths' relating to First Nations taxation, history and current issues. I hope they continue to produce more episodes to dispel the animosity and racism that Idle No More brought to the surface lately.

Jan 28 2013: I am not Canadian and know nothing about it. Assuming you are knowledgable and up-to-date on this subject, why not share what you know here?Jan 30 2013: That is correct Ken. Aboriginal peoples have and still do assert that their tribal communities are nations.

Here in Canada we also have groups of pre-Canadian Confederacies. The Iroquois Confederacy is believed to have been a strong influence on the way your American government was created.
The British and the French had allies amongst First Nations as they went to war over what is now Canada.
Yes, Robert, these are one and the same. However, even though a lot of First Nations people, particularly elders, still use the term Indian in Canada, we have moved away from it as it was a mistaken identity in the first place. This is not India.
Yes, all of these treaties are valid today. They were created to be enforced for time immemorial. I imagine, that only if both parties to a treaty agree, that it could be dissolved and or a new treaty made. Of course we all know that treaties get broken... a very negative road.

Jan 29 2013: Nothing.Jan 29 2013: Fritzie, the question is placed here to create discussion amongst us, not for me to give a lecture on First Nation treaties with the Crown. I do have some knowledge, but I am certainly not an expert. Sadly, what I consider limited knowledge on the subject is more than the average person knows. So why not get talking about it and share information as the subject unfolds? I believe in discussion, research and all manner of presentations are what gives a subject vitality. There are many ways to learn about any given subject. This is why I love the TED series.Maybe it would be an excellent topic for a TED talk.

George, what part of the Crown of Canada and First Nations, is not ,clearly leaving out the United States of America? Canada is a Common Wealth country, a constitutional monarchy. That monarchy established nation to nation agreements ie treaties with existing governing bodies, ier the first nations( indigenous nations) ... which in Canada are today referred to as First Nations and for a short form online often as FN.
Fritzie -
Jan 29 2013: But couldn't you still share what you know, even if you aren't an expert? People here tend not to be experts on the subjects they discuss.
- +1
Jan 30 2013: All right... in moderation as the discussion unfolds. I really want to hear from people. I hear myself most of the time lol.
Feb 2 2013: I am just starting to learn a little bit about my native history as I found Louis Riel on my family tree. It is my understanding however that since I don't have immediate family in my family tree who are native I do not have any rights to the treaties set forth e.g. a card for tax breaks and or shopping discounts. I never really looked any closer at the treaties for the reason that even if I did qualify for those monetary benefits I didn't want to detract from the spirit and heart of my origin, money can't buy that. Some people want all these benefits and sometimes its tempting to look into but I rather beat on my drum and sing to the clouds before I go skydiving :)
With Idle No More I feel a sense of obligation to learn more about the treaties now but still feel uncomfortable about learning more since there was so much bloodshed that I presume were built on these treaties bloodshed our generation is not responsible to answer for but do bare the responsibility to create peace based on the lessons we have learned.Jan 29 2013: I agree with Fritzie. Are you talking about what the U.S. calls Indian treaties? Sounds a little
PC to me - Or is this between Canada and other UN memebers? With your colder weather I assume you have fewer than we do. Fewer tribes However, I assume that there are alot of them Tell us allFeb 17 2013: Me too Valerie. Information is what most people lack... 'good' information. So much distortion and disconnect.Feb 5 2013: as someone who has had the honour of studying our Treaties at the feet of many Elders and Constitutional Experts i can say theres not much about Treaty that i dont know. they are nation to nation agreements that cant be broken, just like the treaty of Ghent or the Louisiana purchase, they are 100% binding, and our Mi'kmaq Treaty protocols come from a Prophecy, they are entrenched in the Charter of Rights and the Canadian Constitution, where it says that no legislation can trump Treaty. You cant talk about Mi'kmaq Treaties without talking about Title, as we Mi'kmaq still hold title to this land we live on, that means we are the owners, and now that we are educated in International Human Rights and Constitutional Law >we will take back what is ours, and the best thing is i think the canadian citizens are convinced that we alone can manage the Resources of this Country without turning it into a wasteland...
Feb 5 2013: Thank you Santo, I really appreciate this post. I hope that it will help inform the larger public.Feb 18 2013: I don't believe any 1 entity can spare the wasteland that is happening we all have to gather and do it together. We also need to mature as a society without the use of force. Finally I think its high time we dispense of the have's and have nots. I don't know of any 1 country that hasn't been destroyed by the economy and we need to invent a new political economic structure that works and I think society is fresh out of ideas. We need a new age Einstein that quits repeating history. The wealth has exchanged hands over many many hundreds of thousands of years, but with each turn people get as leaders they make the same path, we need to forge something new. Traditions and treaties must be honored and protected but when it comes to world economy and environment something new must take place, we go from police state to military rule same structures different uniforms and people. I don't know who can come up with new ideas but what is clear what ever we do the use of force isn't the answer anymore. Jasper National Park has done some amazing things with the local natives preserving the environment, but look at the use of force by the United States who built the Ice Walk along the Columbian Icefields. No one in Jasper wanted that multi million dollar project built. But then again everyone protested the inception of the Canal in Ottawa as well.. The world is one big mess and I don't see anyone doing anything without excluding and or neglecting their neighbors. Little faith in one tradition fixing our future, it needs to come from all of us.Feb 18 2013: Having said that much the Mi'kmaq are a beautiful entity yet they have not had to battle the many cultures that the Canadian West Coast has had to survive. Many Native Nations on the West coast argue with one another over funding and politics where each Nation holds contrasting traditions and funding. The Mi'kmaq have had a better foundation to rise above it all as it were in our most recent history and in the least it would be my hope that the Mi'kmaq can help the west coast find a common ground by which -all- Native Nations can co exist and get along with one another. It would seem economically the Haida Gwaii have been the forerunner in recognition and tradition we need to include everyone.Feb 4 2013: Adam Beech applied for Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp was picked totally sucks got to wonder if they can't cast aboriginal celebs if the Disney story alters historical facts
Feb 4 2013: Yes, the American movie industry is slow to change. I think Johnny has some Native American ancestry... not certain. Adam would have been awesome though! They are really holding on to their fantasy past.Feb 4 2013: We don't really know. It is horrible though. A friend of mine is involved supporting Gladys Radek.
I just keep reposting what i can on my FB wall along with all the news on IDLE NO MORE and a few bits and pieces. Alternative media...and I pray.Feb 3 2013: It's hard for me to think as myself as aboriginal as my people came to NZ (By the official time line) just over or under a thousand years ago but were the only ones that stayed and populated the two islands completing the triangle, they say it was the last place on earth to be settled but archeological finds has put question marks on that idea of when it was discovered but not the settlement plot. From my and a lot of other people's perspective is that the Australian aboriginal are the oldest of all native peoples with an unbroken culture. My people the Maori are the youngest of mans native peoples. The North and South American peoples can claim the title of aboriginal peoples as they were the first on the continents.
We were too small in land mass and crowded when colonization came, cultural intermixing was inevitable as well as genetic mixing. We have only one treaty with the crown that covered all the tribes, it's very different compared to the first nations treaties. We share similarities but that's it, they are only similar in the struggle to have the treaties honored and we support all on the pacific rim who has a crown treaty.
It's very strange, My people do feel an affinity with the first nations not just from the treaties. We are not genetically related but there is something there that draws us. I don't know what it is yet when i hear a round dance something flips or slides or wakes up, similar to what i felt when i was young learning our own songs. English cannot explain a peoples Kaua (way) There is an instant recognition of something with the round dance, something old from the blood.Feb 2 2013: One can see that an important staple of food for native communities was brought to extinction at one point rendering a way of life impossible very disturbing ? What would Kevin O'Leary say ? http://www.retronaut.com/2011/06/killing-the-american-buffalo-1800s/
Feb 4 2013: I tweeted this. Yes, but you can still eat bison. We used to. It is unbelievable what greed does. Greed and total disregard for creation. I don't get the disconnect, I have never felt it myself... I am the opposite. Sometimes too much empathy I am told. I disagree though. Terrifying. It is what is spinning us out of control. Thanks for finding that and posting it. Amazing.
Feb 4 2013: Yes there are Bison farms now different from hunting wildlife but that picture really explains why I dislike USA hunting in Canada today and they come here to hunt all the time I say go home and hunt on your own land gawd damnit !!
Feb 4 2013: True. My dad took on the polar bear hunters that would come up in planes to bag a bear in the eighties. I think they are still doing it. It is horrible.Feb 8 2013: There is a young gal in Sudbury fighting legislation to protect the polar bears as we speak, but even if you fix legislation regarding hunting anyone can find a polar bear on a good day down at the dump foraging for left over food instead of free ranging :(Feb 1 2013: http://www.indiantime.net/
Excellent! Akwesasne Notes
Feb 4 2013: What's going on up there Jaime?
Why are there a lot of Indian women being killed?
Here's a link but it's from my time and era, completely different from today's world. Is there elements that you see that seem similar?
On this Wednesday which will be your Tuesday my people will have our yearly holiday celebrating our treaty with the crown, it's called Waitangi day. The place name where the tribes signed the treaty, Crying water but it has become a gathering for more of my activist oriented people to gather and make their displeasure quite obviously known to our PM, who by tradition comes back to Waitangi for the day.
Feb 4 2013: I don't understand it either. There is a growing misogyny a brutality against women generally... a divide between men who hate women and generally those who do not care about anything but themselves and those of us real human beings of all genders, who love and care and feel something alive in ourselves that does not allow us to disconnect.
A male FB friend just posted a photo of his niece. She had been beaten by his sisters x boyfriend.
So, FN women are an easy target for racists to lash out at. Visibility and historically symbolic I guess. I don't know. What ever it is, it has to stop.
Regarding the drum... you are not alone. I am not FN... as far as I know... and I feel it too. I am not a whanna be... I just feel something I cannot explain. This may sound crazy, but I feel sometimes it is a call to everyone who is still connected by heart and soul to he earth. My sons father said to me when I was bringing up the whanna be Indian thing... he said you are not stealing anything, you are returning home.
Feb 5 2013: What's a whanna be? You should see my aunties, not exactly Maori but if you feel the way you feel then to hell with what anyone else thinks. Trust me, it's our blondies amongst my people we have to calm down and not get it in their heads to go off and start militant training camps. Lol
Look i've only read a small bit online but has there ever been a march from the Pacific coast by FN women towards the seat of government?. The march might go around to each nation to gather more women or any woman but it would be preferable if the grandmothers make it with their grand children. It would be hard and not all will be able to complete it but it might just take all of FN women and other women to "Hikoi" (Hee coy) sacred walk to find their answer. There must be a few hundred thousand FN women in Canada, maybe these women need to grow some balls.
I bet it's already been done hasn't it?Feb 1 2013: ... thank you Ken. " ... the blondies amongst my people we have to calm down..." I will cherish that remark. Lol.

Feb 2 2013: Either way a lack of police in the northern communities really disturbs me. Crucified in the cities left abandon in the rural demographic. I was driving on the highway late fall this year and was stranded on the highway for twelve hours with car trouble and a sign on my window requesting police assistance. Not one OPP drove by for twelve hours. I thought I was quite a distance from the next town as it turns out I was five minutes from said town. I would like to see evidence that the police were that busy that they didn't do a routine traffic check over the span of that twelve hours. So many different police badges including native police and we still have the same problem, people still need better policing !! And or better priorities protecting casinos fish and wild game is important but what about the people ? Funding isn't fixing the problems.
Feb 2 2013: There was a court case settled recently that has been going for a decade or more. It means that you probably do have Indian Status. It was recently given to Metis and a lot of other people.
It is good to know your own roots. For everyone.
It is not all about money. We are all treaty people, both aboriginal and non-aboriginal .. status of no status. It is worth learning about for everyone. It opens your eyes and enriches our lives.
The east coast had an outright slaughter of the Beothus people... if any survived they are long gone.
The maritimes in Canada was a blood bath. The rest of the country was not. It was treaty by treaty and there are still untreatied areas across Canada yet to be settled. Ottawa is one of them.
Baiscally, these people were hunted to extinction for the sake of colonization.
Other than this... and this is bad enough... the USA was the biggest war zone when you talk of outright bloodshed. There were many deaths both immediate and long miserable faits across the land though and those peoples whose lives were lost deserve to have their stories heard.
Feb 2 2013: I think the most messed up thing in my immediate history is that learning I am related to Louis Riel who was notorious for killing Mounted Police, I was adopted into a mountie home at birth.Feb 2 2013: I was living in Cape Breton when they re enacted the battle of Louisbourg while I didn't attend I watched the battleships arrive in the harbor from my livingroom. Both the French and the Native communities were very much slaughtered on the East Coast and it is very sad. The British invited many Europeans to invest in Canada to out number our people. The Mic Mac still survive on the East Coast today however there has been much politics regarding fishing and property rights throughout our time in that area. Most talk about the African history on the East Coast to detract from our history there.Feb 2 2013: Yes, communities seem to be a mess... but there are things that people do not know that explain things.
The way the federal government does things is very twisted. Rewards are balanced by severe controls.
Corruption is almost an understandable consequence of Federal mismanagement.
A good example is that of Chief Spence. There was no funding for the necessary staff with the expertise to do that missing book keeping. There was zero proof that anything was actually missing. The auditor stated that Chief Spence had made significant improvements and the the Federal Government was responsible for mismanagement, but in the news, most coverage did not state that. CBC was better than most, but you need to read native news media and watch APTN.
Feb 17 2013: Unfortunately, the actions of Chief Spence alieanated a lot of the general public. The media was very uninformed about the true financial situation and reported mainly on the amount of Federal monies that Attawapasak had received over the past several years.
The main point that the media and public misses is that the Federal monies also pay for services that the general public is heavily subsidized for like education, health care etc. In the final analysis....First Nations on reserved get less per capita spent on them than the general public does.
You hit the nail on the head Jamie....she did improve things but didn't have the accounting knowledge to meet the incredible paperwork that is required. It is a very small community.
The most troubling thing to me is the Comments section of major media stories. The level of racism was shocking to me. I am Metis but don't look it so I have not experienced racism personally. But I am very aware and embrace my First Nations cousins so I do pay attention to the issues. After many years of non action.....this has caused me to activate and support Idle No More.
We may have a chance in Canada to change things for the better. My cousins in the US have a bigger challenge.Feb 2 2013: It is shameful that no one came by to help you. Right now there are an unbelievable number of people going missing. Most of them are native women.
I think the general public thinks these people are teen runaways, vagrants, people going on drunks or prostitutes... none of which should matter, but it is not true.
This is a massive situation. It is deplorable. If this were white people it would be in the news every day. The majority of these missing women never hit the news. I am very glad that you are safe, but be aware and protect yourself and those you love. This is a real or imagined or exaggerated danger.
This site is just a taste of it. Almost every day I get posts by friends of missing people. Do I see these people in the news. No. So what is going on?!!!!
As women, all women need to stand together as sisters and make this stop. How, I do not know, but we have to do it.
Feb 2 2013: Highway of Tears :( http://www.highwayoftears.ca/Feb 1 2013: Some interesting links;
This is interesting... I particularly like the wording used ...civilizations
This is for anyone under the illusion there were no boarders here before European contact.
Blackfoot Confederacy... yeah Blood tribe!
Placing Fn first person networks ...Jan 31 2013: All Canadians and First Nations are treaty people. Therefore we all have some responsibility to keep it current. I believe so. I would think that non-aboriginal Americans should feel some kind of connections to First Nations within your boarders too. I wish more people were better informed. Yours is a very different history though.
Ken are you aboriginal? I would be very cautious about what you have heard. I know that there are some frauds out there. Arvol Looking Horse verses Marie Elk Head. Marie has passed away now... I am not party to this, but the Elk Heads are ... or so i believe, the White Buffalo Calf Bundle holders. This is for the Sioux people to sort out... I just feel it was her family.
This shield I have never heard of before. The dreamcatcher is a new one too. Have not heard of anything like that. Of course I know about the dreamcatcher... just not this one you are talking about. Interesting. I doubt that that is true, but I will keep an eye on that and ask around.
No, I am not to my knowledge aboriginal. I am mainly Celtic extraction, but have family and friends that are FN.
Feb 1 2013: Cool man, I was wondering if you were or not but it was obvious you had some contact and well...there it was, In the family. Yeah mate i'm a native but we've had it better than others who have delt with the crown. the treaties? with the crown and the First nations of Canada, I know nothing about so i'm going to look it up.
That other stuff in my other post with the shield is speculative as i can't even remember where i read it from or if it was what i remember. If you have any good links to native websites with your local peoples, it would be good to throw them up for us.
Feb 1 2013: You are very perceptive, I never thought anyone would make that connection.
My family affiliation is Kainai and MI'kmaq by blood and many more by friendship.
Where are you from?
I got involved with FN rights and the treaties in the 1980s.
I will make some more link posts.Jan 30 2013: Idle No More has become a profoundly inspirational movement to many people here in Canada, both aboriginal and non-aboriginal. A major issue people are struck with in the movement is lack of knowledge about the issues amongst the general public and even our federal and provincial governments. Thus, I was inspired to ask the above question and see what happens,
Feb 2 2013: In part I think Idle No More is amazing however I am disappointed that a female figure came forward to start the movement and then was shown to have mishandled money. I am female and well it would have been wonderful to see a better mentor come forward regardless of the fact that her people support the money she spent, I still feel a better example could have led the movement.
Feb 17 2013: Chief Spence did not start the Idle No More movement. Four FN women in Saskatchewan did. Their primary message was that the police were not doing enough to solve the hundreds of FN women who have gone missing. And to protest the government's focus on moving Canada to be a major exporter of our coal, oil and gas resources.
FN in the North already are aware of the environmental effects of the oil sands and fracking and most do not support the huge expansion of the pipelines. This is their home lands while most people are in cities and towns away from the fields. Urban people do not see the devastation caused. Leaks DO happen.
Idle No More became a movement for all the environmental and political issues that the First Nations face. I am Metis (now Indian...but that will probably change again as is under Federal appeal). I do not suffer the political restrictions imposed on First Nations on reserve but am very familiar with the issues and support my cousins fully.
You don't need to be First Nations to want clean water, clean air and an habitable planet for your children. It is in the culture of First Nations people to think of important issues in terms of 7 Generations. That is far more important than current short term economics or politics. The selfishness of past generations have brought us to this, now it is up to all of us, now, to make positive change.Feb 20 2013: I doubt it that the four women had any idea how what they started would go viral and wake up the peoples and there is something right them being women, in my culture though it is us men who are most vocal, it's our girls who tell us what to say as they gage a room full of people better, but then when you have a room full of women all eyeing each other then the public talks can get interesting as their husbands start the dance of the talk.
Feb 20 2013: Yes Ken we just finished a four day fireside vigil for a noted woman in our community who passed away last week and it was the women who guarded the fire throughout those four days often it is the men who do this all in all it was very sacred and an honor to have been a part of this ceremony I appreciate your input :)

Hi there,
I have an old Miller CP-250-TS with a Millermatic 30A wire feeder. They are actually Canox branded, but made by Miller. We got these thrown in for free with a shop my dad and I bought. It needs work; new cables, a new spool hub, gas setup and likely a new gun. Otherwise everything seems to work. Previous owner used it for his business and said it worked like a champ til copper thieves stole all the cables. We have 3 phase power at the shop.
I'm a beginner at welding, only having used cheapo 120V MIG welders. I have a few questions; Is it worth spending a few hundred dollars to get this welder working right? Most of the welding I would envision doing would be lighter material and sheet. Would this welder be suitable for that, as well as tinkering and learning?
or would I be better off selling/scrapping it and saving my money on a newer small MIG welder?
Thanks sincerely for any help and advise you can offer!

Old CP-250TS/Millermatic 30A feeder; Worth the effort? (beginner welder)
The CP-250TS was a nice welder in that the "TS" part stands for Tapped-Slope. This means a slope adjustment setting could be changed inside the welder to better suit to different material types, such as steel vs. stainless steel vs. aluminum. The only limiting factor for some folks is that the CP is a 3-phase only power source. It can't be used on single phase.
The feeder is an old one. This could be your bigger limiting factor, in that it is not easy to find a MIG gun to fit it. The power pin part of the MIG gun fitting on the feeder is much smaller than the standard Miller power pin size. Tregaskiss used to sell an adapter for this feeder, but I am not sure that they still do.
Hope that helps!

This panorama of Vaught Hemingway Stadium/Hollingsworth Field, photographed by Christopher Gjevre, highlights the action during an Ole Miss Rebels football game. On a brisk fall Saturday afternoon, fans pack into the 60,580 capacity Vaught Hemingway Stadium/Hollingsworth Field, making it the largest facility in Mississippi. Built in 1915, the stadium is named for the late Judge William Hemingway - former chairman of the University's Committee on Athletics. In 1982, legendary coach John Howard Vaught's name was added. The Rebels football program has played in 31 bowl games and won three national titles. Ole Miss, established in 1848 in Oxford, Mississippi, has over 17,300 students.

- person in the U.S. has this name View Jordan Soose on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Originally a name given to a child of either sex baptized in holy water that was, purportedly at least, brought from the River Jordan, whose Hebrew name, ha-yarden, means 'flowing down'. It was in this river that Christ was baptized by John the Baptist, and medieval pilgrims to the Holy Land usually tried to bring back a flask of its water with them. The modern given name is either a revival of this, or else a transferred use of the surname that was derived from the medieval given name. It is more popular as a boy's name in Britain and as a girl's name in the United States.

Candele wood suites
July 30, 2015
Locating this hotel is extremely tough especially in the night. It is hidden insie Hoag hospital campus and unless you have been before for first time users this can be a horrible experience ,
Spacious and practical
July 15, 2015
Bed was comfortable. Overall good value. Pillow was too soft. It was too dark at night without nigh light. It would be good if hotel design to have a night light in restroom.
Really nice and cost-efficient place to say
July 09, 2015
I booked for four nights for July 4th the long weekend; when I got there, the check-in was so smooth. And all the facilities really made it easy for us, the laundry room, the gym, cookware, videos, and so on. The staff were really friendly and helpful. When I wanted to stay for an extra night, they allowed me to be flexible. And the kitchenette in our suite is so clean and nicely laid out.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and were very happy to have had such a room at such reasonable price in Irvine for the high season.

Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
Murphleavy 10/10 from the field.
68 - 44 halftime...
When we're hitting shots AND our opponent plays terrible defense, *gasp*, good things happen!
wow...just amazing...WHO TAUGHT THIS TEAM TO SHOOT OVER THE 2 DAYS OFF?
i just don't know if the Hawks are giving this game away..or if we're really winning it....
Lets see how quickly the Pacers can give away a 24 point lead!!!
We will win this game. Atlanta looks like garbage. Fortunately the schedule toughens up after tonight.
Tinsley has 11 assists!! OH MY! (at library = hushed excitement)
Now if we could only get the Kings to beat Orlando, we'd be sitting comfortably at #7 (If we find a way to win, that is).
Here's the Pacers scoring drought.
the Hawks making a run....gee-whiz
Well, I jinxed it...****
Granger finally hits a ****ing shot.
So, did Troy Murphy not score yet this half? Because ESPN had him hitting a 12-ft jumper but all of a sudden it didn't count...?
tinsley 13 assists!

Day 1 Quito
Arrive in Quito at any time. There are no planned activities, so check into our hotel and enjoy the city. A G Adventures representative will greet you at the hotel and brief you on the various aspects of the tour. If you are not able to attend the welcome meeting, our representative will leave all important information at your hotel's reception indicating what time to be ready on Day 2 of your trip. If there is any confusion on arrival, please do not hesitate to call the contact number listed in this dossier. Located 2850m (9348 ft) above sea level, the Ecuadorian capital of Quito enjoys a wonderful spring-like climate, despite the fact that it is only 22 km (14 miles) south of the Equator. Nestled in a valley flanked by mountains, on a clear day several snow-capped volcanoes, including nearby Pichincha, are visible from the city centre. Add to its beautiful location a rich history and well-preserved colonial district, and you begin to understand Quito's appeal to thousands of tourists every year. In 1978 UNESCO declared Quito a World Heritage site, and any new development in Quito's old town is now strictly controlled. Life in Quito tends to be peaceful, though the drivers are fond of using their car horns! There are approximately 2,000,000 inhabitants in the metropolitan area, but the pace is relaxed and the residents hospitable. Since pre-Columbian times, the site of Quito has been inhabited by the Quitus, the Shyris and the Puruhas. The Inca reached this city before the Spaniards, but levelled it to the ground rather than give it up to the Spanish. The present capital was founded by the Spanish on December 6th, 1534. Quito is separated into two basic sections, the old and the new cities. The old city is full of historical buildings and churches. One of the more noteworthy is the Catedral de Quito, located on the Plaza de la Independencia. Built between 1550 and 1562, it was one of the first neoclassical works in Quito. La Compañía de Jésus Church is considered one of the most beautiful in the Americas. The decorations in the Compañía contain approximately one and one-half tons of gold, and construction of the church took 170 years (1605-1775). There are several excellent museums scattered throughout the city. The Casa de la Cultura Ecuadoriana has an interesting display of traditional musical instruments and Ecuadorian traditional dress, a large art collection, and a small natural history museum. For archeology the best museum to visit is the Museo del Banco Central with its well displayed pottery, gold ornaments, skulls showing deformities and early surgical methods, a mummy and many other objects of interest. The small, rounded hill dominating the old town is El Panecillo or 'the Little Bread Loaf,' a major Quito landmark. From here there are marvelous panoramic views of the entire city and surrounding volcanoes. You can easily take a trolley (streetcar) or a cab between the Old Town and New Town. Quito's large foreign population and steady stream of travellers have given it a varied and vibrant nightlife, and salsotecas and other dance clubs abound. For a real Ecuadorian experience though, be sure and drop by a peña if you can; these are great places for meeting locals and dancing, as well as enjoying local cooking. Just a couple of hours south of Quito is Parque National Cotopaxi, home to Cotopaxi Volcano (5897 m/19342 ft). the beautiful cone-shaped, snow covered volcano is Ecuador's second highest peak and the highest active volcano in the world. This is a great spot for a days hiking (up to the refuge on the glacier's edge) or mountain biking (downhill all the way). True enthusiasts attempt the climb to the summit (overnight excursion). Allow yourself an extra day or two in Quito, before or after your trip, if you want to conquer Cotopaxi.
Day 2 San Cristóbal Island (B,L,D)
Transfer early to the airport for our flight to the Galapagos Islands. Upon arrival in San Cristóbal, meet our naturalist guide, who will assist with the transfer to the. In the afternoon visit Isla Lobos to see the sea lions, walk on the beach and enjoy a afternoon snorkel. San Cristóbal is the easternmost island of Galapagos and one of the oldest. The principal town is Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, the capital of the Galapagos. The Galapagos Islands are located about 1000 km (620 miles) off the Pacific coast of South America. The archipelago is comprised of 13 major islands and scores of islets that served as a living laboratory for Charles Darwin, the renowned evolution theorist. Long before Darwin arrived in the Galapagos, seafarers knew these isolated islands as home to some of the strangest and most wonderful wildlife imaginable, including birds that could swim but no longer fly, aquatic iguanas, dragon-like lizards left over from prehistoric times, and the giant Galapagos tortoises for which the islands were named. Covering nearly 5000 square km (3100 square miles), the Galapagos Islands are now a National Park. The Galapagos National Park is the institution that controls the preservation of this environment, assisted by the Charles Darwin Research Station. Inaugurated in 1964 and based in Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island, the Charles Darwin Research Station is the one place where visitors can easily see the famous Galapagos Tortoises, which may live up to two hundred years. This is also the training centre for naturalist guides who accompany all visitors landing at more than 40 approved sites on the islands, and members of the international scientific community often come to study at the station. The National Park charges a visitor fee of $100 USD, payable on arrival, which funds Park maintenance and supervision in the Galapagos, as well as ecological study, conservation and infrastructure development in Ecuador's other National Parks. Entry fees and the funds they generate for the National Park System are among measures taken by the Ecuadorian government to protect its natural heritage.
Day 3 South Plaza Island & North Seymour Island (B,L,D)
In the morning, we explore South Plaza Island. One of the smallest islands in the Galapagos, South Plaza has one of the largest populations of land iguanas. Walk along a path through a cactus forest and view a combination of dry and coastal vegetation. Set sail in the afternoon for North Seymour, just north of Baltra, home to sea lions, marine iguanas, swallow-tailed gulls, magnificent frigate birds and blue-footed boobies. Seymour Island is probably the most exciting island photographically. Bird life abounds, and close to the trail you will find many nesting pairs and young chicks. Seymour is also home to the Galapagos's largest colony of Magnificent Frigate Birds. Their mating ritual is an ostentatious display: males expand the red sack at the base of their throat and perch atop a bush with wings fully extended, flapping furiously. Interested females circle overhead, and if so inclined, may join the male on terra firma. Further along the trail we can observe a colony of sea lions.
Day 4 Chinese Hat & Las Bachas (B,L,D)
In the morning the boat arrives to a small little island off the southern tip of Santiago called Chinese Hat, for it's unique shape. Here it is often possible to see Galapagos penguins and the marine life is fantastic for snorkelling. There is also a large sea lion colony here as well as many marine iguanas that can be seen on our guided walk amongst the volcanic scenery, with good views to the cone of the island's volcano. Visit Bachas Beach in the afternoon, located on the northeastern tip of Santa Cruz Island. A great beach to stroll on with crystalline waters perfect for swimming, Bachas Beach also gives us the opportunity to see frigate birds, blue-footed boobies and sea lions.
Day 5 Santa Cruz Island (B,L,D)
In the morning we arrive in Puerto Ayora, on Santa Cruz Island. Santa Cruz is the second largest in the island group, and has the largest population, with Puerto Ayora as its main town. It also boasts the most varied of the islands' vegetation zones: coastal, transition, scalesia, miconia and pampa. The Charles Darwin Foundation is a 10 minute walk from the centre of the town. Here, an exhibition centre displays photos of recent volcanic eruptions, charts outlining geological formations and drawings of the evolutionary development of endemic species. A corral houses adult Galapagos Tortoises, and a nursery cares for young tortoises until they are about three years old, when their shells have hardened enough to resist attack from feral dogs. In the afternoon we may have the opportunity to visit the highlands and see giant land tortoises in the wild.
Day 6 Floreana Island (B,L,D)
The history of Floreana Island (also called Charles) has gradually evolved to reach near mythic proportions. The story begins when a baroness and her two lovers, a German doctor and his mistress, and a German couple and their young son all came to settle on this land. Their dalliances and disasters, shrouded in mystery, were chronicled in John Treherne's book The Galapagos Affair. Descendants of the German family, the Wittmers, still live on the island in the small community of Puerto Velasco Ibarra. Mrs. Margaret Wittmer has also written a booked entitled "Floreana" and this can be purchased at the airport in Baltra or at a local bookstore. In the morning we head to Punta Cormoranon the northern part of Floreana. The landing is on a beach of green sand, coloured by olivine crystals, volcanic-derived silicates of magnesium and iron. The trail leads to a lake normally inhabited by flamingos and other shore birds and continues to a beach of fine white sand particles known as "Flour Beach", an important nesting site for turtles. Around the point, Devil's Crown derives its name from the broken remains of a partially submerged volcanic cone. This is a perfect spot to go snorkelling from the boat, as the waters are home to a multitude of colourful fish and sea lions. Please make sure you are a comfortable swimmer, however, as despite the protection from the open sea provided by the "crown," the water here can be rough and the currents strong. In the afternoon we visit Post Office Bay that has an older and less mysterious history. A barrel was placed here in the late 18th century by English whaling vessels to be used as a post office. Passing ships would stop to leave mail for loved ones, collecting at the same time any mail destined for ports on their itineraries. Today the box is used mainly by tourists, who may drop off and pick up unstamped letters to be carried to far destinations. The remains of a Norwegian canning factory are the only evidence of the Island's history prior to its designation as a protected area. A short hike up past the post barrel takes you to an interesting lava cave. With the aid of a flashlight, you can descend about 80 m (262 ft) to the point where the sea enters the cave.
Day 7 Española Island (B,L,D)
Head to Punta Suarez on Española Island. The southernmost island in the Galapagos archipelago is home to several wildlife species, including masked and blue-footed boobies. A hike to the top of the cliff makes for spectacular photo opportunities. Punta Suarez on the western side of Española Island (also called Hood) is spectacular: gargantuan waves break on jagged cliffs and large bird colonies thickly populate the interior of the island; there is a distinct feel of desolate wilderness here. The Waved Albatross is seen here from April to December during its mating/nesting season. This bird leaves land between January and March each year to make its annual odyssey far out to sea. Amazingly, Española is the nesting site to virtually the entire world population of this species, with more than 12000 pairs residing here. Large numbers of Masked and Blue-footed Boobies are also found here, Red-billed Tropic Birds dash madly through the air, and both Marine Iguanas and sea lions are common. A huge blowhole, where the surf is forced through a natural rock formation spouting seawater 15 to 20 m (49 – 66 ft) into the air, adds to the island's impression of untamed beauty. Follow the trail through a rookery and learn the geological history of the island from our naturalist, including its dramatic volcanic features, climate, flora and fauna. Sail in the afternoon to Garner Bay, an excellent swimming and snorkelling site.
Day 8 Cerro Brujo & Kicker Rock (B,L,D)
Our first landing for the day is at Cerro Brujo, where there is a chance to go hiking, swimming and snorkelling. The sandy beach is home to Sally Lightfoot crabs, brown pelicans, blue-footed boobies and california sea lions. In the afternoon we will pass through the dramatic Leon Dormido (Kicker Rock), which is a magnificent rock in the middle of the sea, set in a shape resembling a sleeping lion. The rock rises 150 metres above the surface and is divided into two parts by a narrow channel navigable by small vessels.
Day 9 San Cristóbal & Quito (B)
Reach San Cristóbal in the morning. San Cristóbal is the easternmost island of Galapagos and one of the oldest. Its principal town is Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, the capital of the Galapagos. Disembark after breakfast, visit the interpretation center and transfer to the airport for our flight to Quito. Transfer to our group hotel upon arrival, and enjoy one last night on the town.
Day 10 Quito (B)
Depart at any time.

The Home Improvement license is required by law to perform remodeling to existing residential homes, where the cost is more than $3,000 to less than $25,000 ($25,000 and up require a "Contractor's" license). The total contract or cost includes materials and labor. It is required to repair, replace, remodel, alter, conversion, modernization, improvement, or addition to any land or building, such as, driveways, swimming pools, porches, garages, landscaping, fences, fall-out shelters, roofing, painting and other improvements adjacent to the dwelling (see T.C.A. 62-6-501 for a complete definition in the law). Valuable information on *lead abatement below is provided below.
Home improvement does not cover electrical, plumbing or *HVAC. You must check with the "Local Government" jurisdiction for their requirements, permits and inspections. This may include obtaining the State's LLE (Limited Licensed Electrician) or LLP (Limited Licensed Plumber) license; and there is not a state *HVAC license for small projects less than $25,000. The contractor's license is required for these classifications for projects $25,000 or more (includes materials, labor costs, and profit).
*HVAC contractors may be regulated at the local level and if not, the Home Improvement license will be required in order to perform HVAC. (See T.C.A. 62-6-503)
Note: A license is required regardless of whether a permit is needed!
*No Examination is Required*
Download the Home Improvement Application [pdf]
Conviction does not automatically preclude someone from licensing, however, it does require the full Board's approval. If you have been convicted of a felony in any jurisdiction (Tennessee or any state); or if you have had disciplinary action against another professional license; court judgements; or complaints, you must attach a statement explaining the details of the action (Conviction - priovide the charging document, the disposition and proof of any sentence or court order and release of probation, provide a criminal back-ground summary to show history since conviction. Other - Judgements/complaints - provide details in writing and any court ruling). In some cases, the Board may may request appearance before the Board which meets at least six (6) times annually. The Board is charged with protecting the safety and welfare of the public and they will judge each individual case on it's own merit. Typically, a person who is still on probation will not be granted a license.
The law requires disclosure of felonies, as well as any court litigation, pending law suits, complaints with other agencies, or judgements relative to home improvement. A license is not automatically denied due to judgements and convictions, however, failure to disclose is a violation of law. A civil penalty may be assessed for not providing true and correct information, as well as the license being denied or the renewal revoked.
Upon approval of your completed application, a permanent license will be mailed. Applications must be submitted correctly and complete. The license is issued to the entity named on the financial responsibility, such as the bond. Therefore, all documents must be in this exact name and mode of operation. Any discrepancies on the application may hold up the review and approval process. Our staff will review before presenting to the Board for approval to ensure everything is in order, however, if incomplete or descrepancies are found during the Board review, an interview may be required at the Board's next regularly scheduled meeting before the license can be considered. Once the license is issued, please display in a noticeable place at your business location and list your license I.D. number in advertisements. Never require the consumer to pay for the project prior to completion. The law allows 1/3 down payment to begin the project and contracts must be in writing with strict language requirements. A contractor who accepts money and fails to perform the work within 90 days, may be prosecuted for a felony, unless they refund the money. See Public Chapter 1055.
Effective July 1, 2009, licenses are issued biennially (two year renewal cycle); cannot be renewed if expired in excess of 90 days and would need to reapply by supplying a new bond, insurance and application.. License is considered invalid upon bond cancellation. This license is for projects where the total cost or contract is more than $3,000 to less than $25,000 (larger projects require a "Contractor's" license) and a home improvement license does not cover electrical, gas, mechanical, *HVAC or plumbing, where separate trade licenses are required. If you are a corporation, LLC or Limited Partnership, always ensure you are actively registered with the Tennessee Secretary of State. You should receive a license renewal within 90 days of expiration. However, you must notify the Board of any address change, as state mail is not forwarded. The Board must be notified of any changes, including ownership of the entity. The license is not transferable to the new owner(s). If you do not receive a renewal in the mail, you may download a renewal from the website at the Forms Download section. Fees cannot be submitted online, at this time. Be sure to be knowledgeable of all laws, rules and regulations.
*HVAC contractors may be regulated at the local level and if not, the Home Improvement license may be required in order to perform HVAC. (See T.C.A. 62-6-503)
A home improvement contractor's bond or ILOC filed with our Board for obtaining and renewing a license cannot be released to the contractor for 12 months after their initial request to replace, withdraw, or until after the license has been expired for one (1) year. This is to ensure all prior projects are covered. Therefore, if providing a cash or property bond, please keep this in mind since it cannot be released.
The bond is public information and consumers may request to file against the bond. If anytime the bond is terminated, the license is considered invalid. (See T.C.A. 62-6-506) Consumers may request a copy of the bond and insurance, and it is a matter of public record.
Home Improvement licensed contractors must ensure their contracts are as follows:
The law requires home improvement licensed contractors to include their license ID number and type of license held, anytime they advertise as "licensed". (For example, anyone advertising as "Licensed, Bonded and Insured" would need to also include "Home Improvement License ID# 0123"). Residential and Commercial licensed contractors are exempt.
See T.C.A. 62-6-510 relative to prohibited acts from a home improvement licensed contractor. The following is a summary:
Abandonment or Willful Failure to Perform;

The renewal is required to be submitted 30 days prior to the expiration date to prevent working with an expired license, as there is NOT a grace period. (After a license has been expired for 3 months, must submit a new license application; less than 3 months, may renew with late fees.)
Be sure to contact the Board office to apply for a change (name, mode of operation) and obtain a new license before contracting. You will be required to replace the financial responsibilty (surety bond, etc.) and insurance to be in the new name.
The license is not transferable to new owners. If there is a change in ownership with the remaining owners of the existing partnership or corporation licensed, you must notify the Board office in writing and supply the financial responsibility (surety bond) for the existing owners within 30 days, and may be required to supply a new license application if it is a change of 25% or more. (See T.C.A. 62-6-507 and Rule 0680-07-.05)
A homeowner is exempt from obtaining a home improvement license to perform work on their own property.
Counties may adopt the Home Improvement license requirement with a 2/3 vote from their commission. Adopting this requirement may be done without additional expense to the county, and it would be their option to charge for permits or perform inspections. Home Improvement licensing provides protection to consumers since they must be bonded and insured, and requires contracts to be in writing. The State also offers a mediation program with licensed contractor complaints. In addition, laws are in place to prevent unlicensed contractors who violate the licensing law, from filing a lien. They may also be prosecuted for theft should they take money without performing the work. Lastly, unlicensed contractors are not entitled to the total contract cost of the project and may only recover documented expenses in court (TCA 62-6-103). Many federal programs, such as the "Weatherization Assistance Program" require contractors to be licensed.
Presently, the following *nine (9) counties require a home improvement license for projects in excess of $3,000 to less than $25,000: Bradley, Davidson, Haywood, Hamilton, Knox, *Marion, Robertson, Rutherford, and Shelby. Any remodeler may apply for the home improvement license, as consumers prefer to only hire state licensed contractors who are licensed, bonded and insured!
*Marion County recently adopted in May, 2010.
**Effective 8/23/08, Johnson County no longer requires a home improvement license.

Even as their region was devastated by Superstorm Sandy, a New Jersey couple found time to step up for an animal in need.
After spending days inside waiting out the storm without electricity, Gloria Delgado and Wilfredo Garcia took their dog for a walk Tuesday to survey the damage to their Elizabeth neighborhood.
A few blocks from their home, they saw something strange: a little white car idling at the edge of a park. The couple heard a yelp and a car door slam, and then watched as the car sped away.
To their horror, Delgado and Garcia realized a Hound/Pit Bull mix puppy, white with brown spots and about five months old, had been pitched out of the car, left to fend for herself among the downed trees and debris. Delgado called to the confused puppy, and she came right away.
Delgado and Garcia waited for 20 minutes—perhaps, they thought, she fell out of the car? But the car never returned, so they took the puppy home to their dark apartment.
"She was so nice," Delgado says. "So good and playful with our kids and our dog."
The puppy stayed the night, but the Garcia family knew they couldn't keep her forever. Delgado cleans houses in Manhattan, and she decided to bring us the puppy when she returned to work. On Wednesday, the entire Garcia family braved hours of traffic to ensure the dog reached us safely.
"I lived in Manhattan a long time ago, so I know how the ASPCA takes care of animals," Garcia says. "I knew they would take care of this dog."
We are so grateful that the Garcia family took care of this sweet and happy little puppy, who is receiving care at our Adoption Center and will be made available for adoption soon. Of course, we named her Sandy.
For more information about the ASPCA's rescue and relief efforts during Sandy, please stay tuned to our blog and Twitter account.
UPDATE: Sandy has been adopted!

I have a hossfeld #2 bender and i am looking to build a kids ferris wheel for my new born daughter. i found the perfect example on a bender wedsite. the ferris wheel is large enough to hold 2 kids and is powered from someone pedalling a stationary bike. i contacted the bender website from Colorado City, CO 81019. and asked if they sold plans for any information about the ferris wheel on there website. i was told the ferris wheel has been sold and couldnt give me any information about it.
i have no problem making the frame for the ferris wheel. but i do have many questions about what bearings are being used? how does the drive from the wheel to the bike pedals work? what kind of seats and selt belts are being used for safety? if anyone knows a company who sells these kids ferris wheels i would love to know. if you have any help i would love to hear what you have to say. thank you.
*heres a pic and video of the ferris wheel-
*heres a youtube video i put up about the hossfeld bender-

in your other thread I posted some details on eletric drive ,but i have some more ideas. If you have a arge 1/2 electric drill this could e easily adapted to work so could a imact wrench or air ratchet, if you are set on the pedal driven desin make the staonary bike paralell to the wheel so no right angle gear boxes are nesasary. you can get roller chain and sprockets at www.surpluscenter.com.

What videogames have you been playing recently?
Posted 19 December 2007 - 11:05 PM
Posted 20 December 2007 - 12:19 AM
- I've been playing City of Heroes, as usual. I quit for about half of a year (financial reasons), but now I'm back. They've added some really neat stuff with the past few "Issues" (free game content updates), including a totally optional--but incredibly captivating--invention system. The superhero I play almost exclusively these days is American Apollo, a Silver Age archer that shoots lots of trick arrows (like oil slicks that I can set on fire, or arrows that freeze guys). Lots of fun, and thankfully NCSoft is really going out of their way to make the game more fun.
I bought Hellgate: London not too long ago. It's made by the same team that created Diablo and Diablo II. HG:L is basically a first-person version set in near-future London...post-demon invasion, of course. I put it on hold because they game is bugged beyond belief. Also, it's a twitch game--I want more substance in my games, and even if shooting hoards of monsters with rocket guns is fun it only works in small doses.
I bought the insanely well-reviewed BioShock a few weeks ago, but haven't installed it yet. The developers, formerly known as Irrational Games, created my favorite video game of all time: System Shock 2. I'm looking forward to playing this, but I need to install my new power supply first.

I finally got to play Super Mario Galaxy, which was a real trip. Incredibly clever and very, very enjoyable throughout.

My daughter is 12, almost 13 (in February). She stills goes back to Crash Bandicoot games. They have enormous replay value, especially Crash Bash. How old is your daughter?

It's not a perfect game by any means. It's a first-person shooter set during the Vietnam conflict. But what it does right it does exceptionally well. Some action games I appreciate for their realism. Vietcong was such a game. You could set it so you had no 'read-outs,' as in, you had no idea how much ammo you had in your gun, and if you wanted to aim you had to pull the iron sights up. There wasn't much in the way of health bars, either. You couldn't survive more than one or two wounds.
The jungle and rice patties are beautifully rendered, unlike some other attempts to make games set during the same conflict. There is a lot of attention to detail that many games lack completely; sunlight spilling through leaves, small streams that actually work like streams, the fact that you can't really carry more than one gun (and guns using different ammo types). And so on.
And one of the most fun aspects was playing the multiplayer maps with friends a few years ago. The most fun is when all of the players are on the same team, and they have to face off against the other side (you could play as American soldiers or VC). I've never seen a game force people to work together like this - one of the players could be equipped with a radio pack and call in air strikes, and other players would really have to cover each other basically save each other's bacon constantly. Crazy fun.

Fable... a bit of an oldie. I picked up the Xbox 1 version for $10. It's a pretty rich game... they really took the "you can be good *or* evil!!" thing a bit too far, maybe. But it's a big world and there's lots to do in it, and it's amusing how much Overlord (a 360 game I've liked for a while) borrows from it.
Puzzle Quest... I bought the Nintendo DS version of this pretty cheaply. If you're not familiar with it, it's an RPG that uses a gem-matching puzzle variant for all of the combat. We played the Xbox Live Arcade version quite a bit at work (it's free for developers... sort of) and it's simultaneously a very addictive and frustrating game. Still I find myself picking it up and playing a lot, and I've nearly beaten it across a few days of playing.
I definitely do not like the control scheme they've chosen for the DS version. It uses the stylus almost exclusively, when other platforms used a different scheme that worked quite well. The game penalizes you for illegal moves and I find myself mis-clicking a lot due to the stylus. Losing health (sometimes battles) because of this is really very frustrating.

Also, since January 2002, I have been an active PBEM (Play By E-Mail) Diplomacy player. As you might be able to tell, I tend to like games which are low-tech, with a major long-term commitment. A typical PBEM Diplomacy game lasts a minimum of six months.

WiiPlay and Super Mario Galaxy.
WiiPlay is a mix of nine games, some of which are a blast (Shooting range, Charge! and Tank Battle) and some of which are dreary (Find Mii). But for $10 (in a package with a second controller ($40)) it's a good deal. In Charge! you race and jump cows, trying to knock down scarecrows. Mrs. CrimsonLine and I laugh hysterically while we play it.
Super Mario Galaxy is a lot of fun, with bright, beautiful graphics, and cool action. I like that Player 2 is helping Player 1, and not competing against him. That's great for my son, who cannot beat any adult at the games in Wii Sports or WiiPlay, but still wants to play on the Wii. Here, he is an asset to our team effort. It's a bit perspective-warping as you are running and jumping around these tiny planets, and are often running upside down or on the sides of the planets. At times, it's tough to remember how to run, and in what direction. Lots of fun.

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2 - With the boys
Posted 07 January 2008 - 08:50 AM
I played this at my brother's house over Christmas, and yes, it's pretty trippy and mindbending -- and yet, with the Wii control, it somehow feels natural and makes perfect sense.

After playing the Burnout Paradise demo for most of an evening, I preordered it from Amazon.
It finally came in on Tuesday and I've been playing it at every opportunity. Great gameplay, a H U G E virtual world (I'm still discovering major streets on the map, not to mention all of the hidden roads, tunnels and unusual connections), and great effects.
This is easily the best game I've played in years.
Posted 27 January 2008 - 04:39 PM
So ... now I have a game console, and I have nothing to play (except for the Motor Storm package that came with the PS3; we haven't opened it yet). What should I be looking for? Are there PS2 games I should avoid because they don't work on the new machine? (I noticed the Star Trek: Conquest PS2 game at the grocery store the other day -- it's only 15 bucks, in contrast to the other games that go for anywhere from $30 to $45 -- so I'm wondering if maybe I should start there... Or is that game so cheap because it sucks? and would it be incompatible with the PS3?)
Or maybe I should just avoid games altogether, lest my almost-two-year-old twins try to join in, and thus get hooked. It's bad enough they want to watch DVDs so often, already.

I too play Diplomacy but online (http://www.floc.net/dpjudge/). What a great game, it is like chess only times 7! I wonder if there might be 7 of us here on A&F and we could do a private game?

I've been playing Madden NFL 2009. After a hard day, it helps take the edge off.

This game has gotten a lot of hype because it's very challenging. The game uses "souls" as currency, which you get by defeating enemies. Souls are used to upgrade weapons, buy items, and increase your character's stats. But if you die, all of the souls you've accumulated get trapped in a "bloodstain" near where you died, you get sent back to the start of the level, and all of the enemies you killed respawn. If you manage to make it back to your bloodstain you can recover all of the souls you lost, but if you die again along the way they're gone forever.
As challenging as it is, there's a lot of help along the way when you play online. Players can drop "messages" on the ground to warn other players of danger or give strategy advice on how to handle particular enemies or situations. Also you can click on any other player's bloodstain in the world and see the last 10 seconds of their life. This is often enough info to give you a clue as to how they died and avoid the same fate yourself.
People are loving this game, and it's getting a lot of "game of the year" buzz even though it hasn't sold anywhere near as many copies as other GOTY contenders. Part of it is the game's depth, and part is the amazing atmosphere of the different zones.
IGN review here.

Starcraft is a tried and true RTS formula and the sequel only builds on it. Plus there are pretty extensive tools shipped with the game that allow people to make their own custom gametypes, even with a potential revenue stream for the creators of popular mods that seems to resemble the iphone app store a bit.
I think this will be the game of the year on PC, but it probably has very limited appeal outside of the hardcore crowd.

I think this will be the game of the year on PC, but it probably has very limited appeal outside of the hardcore crowd.
That said, the hardcore crowd is pretty huge. (Even not factoring in the seemingly national addition that South Korea has toward the Starcraft franchise.) My love for RTS games has vanished almost entirely over the past decade, for some reason, but I still do enjoy playing them on single player mode just to see what sweet buildings each race/faction can get.
Over the past month or two, I've been playing a lot of Battlefield 2142. The Battlefield series is pretty popular, but this is one of the few entries that seemed to get ignored. There's still a hardcore group of people that play it online, and man, is it fun. I'm slowly becoming better at the game, and the unlock system (and ability to be awarded a wide variety of medals) is addictive.

Droning for the Planet: How Conservationists Use Drones to Protect the Earth
Photo by Conservation Drones
Twenty years ago I had a tsetse fly-filled conversation with some hardened and battle-scarred rangers about how to count rhinos in the very thick Miombo woodlands of southern Tanzania. Over the droning of those persistent and painful flies, we talked of getting a hobbyists' radio-controlled airplane and attaching an infrared video camera for night flights to pick up the heat signatures of rhinos. Only elephants would have a bigger glow, so identification would be simple. Lots of ground could be surveyed, dense, dangerous thickets could be avoided, and poachers' fires could be easily located by the handful of rangers responsible for a vast protected area. But small, infrared video cameras were not yet readily available to non-military types – ditto satellite tracking and GPS – and the hand-held radio range of the planes of the day was rather limited, so the rangers continued to walk transects and gingerly pick their way through tangled thickets, the haunts of slumbering and cranky rhinos and well-armed poachers.
Photo by Conservation Drones
In those twenty years since talking with the rangers, rhino and elephant populations have been decimated―only a handful of northern white rhinos still live in the wild―and the demand and prices for black market rhino horn and ivory are skyrocketing. Will the recent advent of the cost-effective, versatile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)―the drones of our dreams―turn the tide in the fight for rhinos and the planet? Just in the past two years cost-effective drones and high-quality imaging capabilities have become readily available to conservationists, activists, researchers, and park managers (the adventurous suburbanite can also pick one up at Barnes & Noble Books).
