|Deep Sea Adventure is a wonderfully simple press your luck dice game from Japan with a devilishly fun twist: when you press your luck, you press EVERYONE'S luck!
Glittering treasure entices your team of divers to swim down into the depths. Each roll brings you closer to greater riches. The problem is, everyone shares the same oxygen supply! If too many divers get greedy, no one may make it back to the boat!
The higher scoring treasures are on tokens deeper below the boat. The more treasure you take, the more oxygen you use from everyone's supply, making it more difficult for each player to make it back to the surface with their loot. Playing it safe may insure your survival but one good haul from the depths could net you the victory.
Tune in to learn more about this hidden gem and discover why we think it's Major Fun!

Too Many Cinderellas
Too Many Cinderellas Grail Games | BGG | Amazon
Designer: Nobutake Dogen, Nao Shimamura
Publisher: Grail Games, Taikikennai Games 2-4 players 10 min ages 10+ $12.95
Prince Charming has met and lost is soulmate: Cinderella. While he searches high and low using a forgotten shoe, you and your fellow players have a different plan… to convince the prince to marry a Cinderella of your choosing! In order to do this, you will play rumor cards limiting the traits the Prince should focus on in his search. You hope, in the end, your Cinderella will stand out among the rest and the Prince will marry the person (or cat) you chose for him.
Too Many Cinderellas is a very compact game. It comes with 18 Cinderella cards, 9 wooden yes/no tokens and 9 plastic diamonds. The cards feature whimsical art by Hinami Tsukuda.
At its heart, Too Many Cinderellas is a light-hearted logic game. Each player is dealt four cards. Two cards will be played as rumors and two cards will be kept in-hand as possible Cinderellas for the Prince to marry.
Rumors create the logic puzzle at the core of the game. In order to understand them, we need to take a closer look at the cards.
Each card has a split identity – it can be a rumor OR it can be a Cinderella – a possible Cinderella for the Prince.
The main portion of the card shows an illustration of the Cinderella and characteristics that define this person. A Cinderella can be young or teenaged or an adult or a senior, for instance. A Cinderella could have brown hair or blonde or black. A Cinderella might wear glasses or like rice or be royalty.
A Cinderella doesn't even have to be a woman. Cinderella could be a man… or even a cat!
There are easy to understand icons along the side of each card that describe each Cinderella's defining traits.
Remember, though, each card has a second identity or use – as a rumor. At the bottom of each card is a thought bubble containing a simple sentence. This sentence is the rumor and will begin to define who Cinderella isn't. So a rumor might say Cinderella is not a senior OR Cinderella is does not like rice OR Cinderella does not have brown hair.
So, now that you see how the cards are put together, the game goes like this.
Each player, one at a time, will offer up a card as a rumor to the group by playing it to the table. The group will then vote on whether this rumor is true or not. Players will secretly choose a yes or no token and then everyone will reveal their vote. If all vote YES, the rumor is true and will help define who Cinderella is not.
If even one person votes NO, then the rumor is false and will not be considered when the Prince chooses his Cinderella.
Here's the rub. You only get one NO vote for the entire game round! Once used, your NO token is placed on the rumor card you quashed. This means you must choose wisely when voting NO or you may end up being forced to vote YES on rumors you don't want.
This process continues until all players have offered up two rumor cards and each rumor has been put to a vote. One final random rumor is drawn from the deck and added to the table just as if someone had played it. It can be included or dismissed depending on the final vote.
After all rumors have been voted up or down, each player offers their best Cinderella to the Prince, meaning a single Cinderella card that conforms to the restrictions laid out by the rumors. For instance, at the end of a round, the rumors might say: Cinderella is not an adult, is not dark haired and does not like cake. Any Cinderella card in your hand that avoids all these traits could be offered up as a possible match to the Prince. Most times, the Prince will have several Cinderellas from which to choose. In this case, he will select the Cinderella with the lowest value (printed in the upper left corner of the card). So your best hope of making a match for the Prince is to play the lowest value Cinderella card that fits the logic puzzle for the round!
You can play a single game round in about 5-6 minutes as a stand-alone game or you can earn a diamond each time the Prince selects your Cinderella. First to three wins.
The big moment in Too Many Cinderellas comes as the logic puzzle is finished each round. This moment is what sets the game apart.
Do you have a Cinderella card that fits with all the restrictions placed by the rumors?
If one of the true rumors says Cinderella is not an adult and both your remaining Cinderella cards are adults, then you might be out of luck this round. BUT, if you've planned wisely, you'll have to resist the urge to cheer when you make it through the round with a lovely Cinderella card for the Prince to consider.
Your goal is to play rumor cards that do not eliminate your own Cinderella cards from contention AND restrict or eliminate Cinderella cards in other player's hands. The fact that every card has both a rumor and a potential mate for the Prince makes this process challenging and a lot of fun!
You have one NO, so you can eliminate one horrible rumor that might eliminate many of your Cinderellas. But this NO will only get you so far. The game nudges you strongly to pay attention to what other people are playing and try to make educated guesses about what they might be holding and how they might vote on any given card.
It's good to look at your cards and have a plan when the round starts but you may have to switch things up if an untimely rumor slips through. In other words, the game mixes long term strategy with strategy of the moment.
Each round you define Cinderella by omission. We learn what he or she is not, so anyone outside those restrictions is allowed. This is an important and powerful concept and the game manages to teach it in such a simple, fun way.
It's a simple process to play Too Many Cinderellas but the game offers an engaging and ever-changing puzzle that each player can try to manipulate to his or her advantage. And if you make mistakes, the game is forgiving and short enough you will be eager to jump in again and do better in the next round.
There are a few cards with special actions that allow an extra no token or a no token to be removed and even one to reverse the tie breaker (high card wins instead of low). These special abilities keep the game fresh and allow for the rumors/rules for each game round to change a lot with the play of a single card.
Too Many Cinderellas proves that logic games do not have to be dry or boring. They can be whimsical and fun. I love the fact that the Prince's perfect Cinderella could be an elderly gentleman who loves books, a cat with a wig, or a dude in a dress. In fact this sense of whimsy and fun can easily take over the game. I've seen groups of players abandon the need to win to make sure that the cat becomes the best Cinderella for the Prince. This might defy conventional logic for some, but it tracks perfectly with the higher logic of fun.
Side note: kudos to Grail Games (based in Sydney Australia) for bringing this game to a wider audience. The game was originally published in Japan by Taikikennai Games in a very limited form. Micro games are an increasingly well known genre outside of Japan, based on the wild success of Love Letter and its ilk. I'm glad to see more and more publishers interested in the creative possibilities in this genre, especially when they find gems like this one.

|Roll like an Egyptian!
Favor of the Pharaoh is a recipe filling roll-and-keep dice game based on an earlier title: To Court the King. Starting as a lowly peasant, you rise through the ranks of ancient Egyptian society by rolling increasingly difficult combinations to gain abilities, bonuses, and special dice. When the final round begins, the player who rolls the most dice with the highest matching number will gain the Favor of the Pharaoh!
This is the first game to merit BOTH the Major Fun and Spiel of Approval awards! The basic game is easy to learn and adaptable for younger or less experienced players. Double sided level bars allow for more strategic and thoughtful play. Put simply, you can tailor the game to fit almost any group at your table. Familiar yet fresh, Favor of the Pharaoh is a worthy recipient of both honors and, perhaps, a spot on your game shelf, too.

Dr. Eureka
Dr. Eureka Blue Orange | BGG | Amazon
Designer: Roberto Fraga Publisher: Blue Orange 2-4 players 10 min ages 6+ $20
The lab is a hectic place and Doctor Eureka needs the help of his trusty assistants to complete his experiments. One by one new recipes for amazing formulas come from Doctor Eureka and its up to you to mix the right molecules in three different test tubes as fast as you can. The first player to mix five formulas will earn a seat along side the good doctor as one of the best and brightest scientists.
If you're mixing molecules, you have to have the right equipment. Each player has 3 clear plastic test tubes. Placed in the tubes are two colored plastic balls, the molecules: two purple, two orange, and two green. The balls are made so they *just* barely fit inside the test tubes.
In addition to your lab equipment there are 54 formula cards which have different recipes on each one. There's also a sand timer.
TO begin, each player will arrange their molecules in their tubes so that each one has two balls of the same color: so 2 purple, 2 orange, and 2 green. Shuffle the formula cards and you're ready to play Dr Eureka!
Dr. Eureka is a simultaneous pattern matching game. To begin a round, flip over the top card from the formula deck and place it on the table where everyone can see it easily. Flip the timer and start mixing! The card will show three test tubes with a specific pattern of molecules.
One tube might have an orange in the bottom, then a purple and then a green. The next tube is orange purple and the last tube has a single green molecule.
Your job is to match this pattern on the card by pouring the molecules from tube to tube. First player to make the match declares Eureka and wins the card.
There are some devilishly fun restrictions and rules that govern how you can mix your molecules.
First and most obvious is that you are not allowed to touch the balls directly. This means your main mixing method will be to pick up the tubes and pour the molecules from tube to tube.
Second, no spilling is allowed. If you pour any balls out onto the table, you've ruined this batch and are out for the round.
Third, each tube must match the pattern on the card BUT that's not all. The tubes must be placed on the table so they match the pattern as well. So the balls have to be in the right order and the tubes have to be in the right sequence.
Last of all (and this one is tricky!) you are allowed to flip any of your tubes upside down to make them match the pattern. Remember, no spilling is allowed! So if you try to flip your tube and the balls drop out, you're done.
So the art and science of Dr Eureka comes down to a clever mix of speed and caution. You have to finish first but only the player who can match the pattern without dropping any balls will win the card.
Dr Eureka straddles the line between puzzle and game. You can play the game simply as a mental challenge; and it is a wonderful little brain teaser. It reminds me of the slide puzzles I used to play with at my grandparent's house.
But the real fun begins when you add time pressure and other players. You can help but laugh and lose yourself in the game as you watch or hear your fellow players struggling to match the pattern right along side you. Go too fast and you're sure to pour balls all over the place. Mix too deliberately and someone else will match the card and snatch the card before you.
The game is a great value as well.It's rare these days to find a game with this many unique components at such an affordable price. The full retail price is $20. The 12 large test tubes and 24 colored balls are very sturdy and will last a lifetime.
It is truly a game for all ages. I've played with 6 year olds and 69 year olds and the joy of shouting Eureka ahead of everyone else is universal. You can easily add more or less time to each round to adjust to the skill level of players at the table. And if you want even more challenge you can try the advanced mode where players bid to solve each formula in a certain number of moves.
Simple joys are often the best. Dr Eureka champions this concept in so many ways. The game is engaging, fast and fun. The rules are so intuitive, you almost know how to play simply by setting the game up. And yet the challenge and enjoyment you'll get after dozens of games won't diminish. Playing well requires creativity and quick thinking – there's an art and a science to it – making the most efficient moves while refining your pouring techniques. You don't have to hold a higher degree to understand why Dr Eureka is Major Fun.

Sometimes the simplest things in life are the most fun, or, in the case of Strike, Major Fun!
Strike Ravensburger | BGG | Amazon
Designer: Dieter Nüßle Publisher: Ravensburger 2-5 players 15 min ages 8+
Strike is a game about throwing dice into a box. When I said simple, I really wasn't kidding! I know it sounds a little dippy, but Strike manages to take something as basic as gravity and turn it into an enjoyable, compelling and addictive experience for players of all ages.
The Strike box is the dice arena. Picture a mini Roman colosseum inside the box. Small spectators could sit around the tiered levels, watching dice hurtle down to the battleground, a small oval foam mat (6″ long and 4.5″ wide). The mat is just rubbery enough to make the dice bounce around more than you'd like.
Strike also comes with 31 custom dice. The dice are 16mm (5/8″); they are black with white ink. Each die has conventional pips 2-3-4-5-6 with one custom face a big white X in place of the 1. The dice are nice and hefty and big enough for even small hands to pick up and throw.
The goal of the game is to be the last player with dice remaining. Setup is super easy. Divide up the dice evenly depending on the number of players and throw one die into the arena. If the starting die comes up on the X face, roll again until you get a number face. Now you're ready to roll your way to victory!
On your turn, you start by pitching one of your dice into the arena. You'll have a great deal of fun learning how best to pitch dice into the arena to get the results you want. Several things can happen after the die leaves your hand.
The die could land in the arena & make a match with one or more numbered dice.
The die could land in the arena & not match any dice.
OR The die could bounce out of the arena.
If the die you roll matches one or more dice already in the arena. Great! You get to remove all the matching number dice and keep them. Your turn is now over.
If the die you roll does not make a match, then you have a choice to make. You can end your turn, letting the next player go OR you can choose to roll another die into the arena. As long as you do not make a match, you can keep throwing dice… as long as you have dice to throw! If you run out, you're out of the game, so there's a nice press-your-luck element to this decision. The more non-matching dice in the arena, the greater your chances of making a match but the more dice you throw, the more dice you risk losing if they don't match.
Remember the name of the game is Strike. It's totally legal to try and strike other dice when you throw your die into the arena to make a different combination of numbers pop up.
Last of all, your die could bounce out of the arena. I know it seems unlikely, but that pesky foam mat is bouncier than you think! If this happens, the die is removed from the game. This is bad, because, remember, you want to be the last player with dice left. The good news is, this doesn't necessarily end your turn. Just like rolling a non matching die, you can choose to throw another die if you want or you can end your turn.
Play continues in this fashion: a player throws a die, makes a match, removes matching dice and ends his or her turn OR a player throws a die, does not make a match and decides to throw another die or ends his or her turn.
Two things: the X and The Clean Sweep.
Let's talk about the X first. Remember every die has an X on one face. If you throw a die and it comes up X, you lose the die. It is removed from the game. Same goes for any other dice you might knock around in the arena and flip to the X. They are removed as well. This means every time you pitch a die into the arena you are at risk of losing it! It also means games of Strike go quickly because many dice will be taken out of circulation as Xs come up throughout the course of the game.
Aside from the simple joy of chucking dice, the Clean Sweep is probably my favorite part of Strike. Eventually in most games, you will reach a point where one player rolls and makes a match will all the remaining dice in the arena. This means all the dice will be removed from the arena making it a… Clean Sweep! Instead of rolling a single die like a regular turn, the next player must roll ALL HIS OR HER DICE into the arena. All the normal rules apply. If you make any matches, you get to remove these dice and keep them. Any non matching dice stay. Any Xs are removed from the game.
The Clean Sweep adds an extra level of tension and drama and fun to every game. When one die remains in the arena, the roller will be calling for a Clean Sweep and next player will be rooting for no matches. And when it happens, a cheer (followed by a groan) will almost always rise up from the table. The Clean Sweep is also a great equalizer in the game. Even if you build up a large pile of dice, one Clean Sweep will force you to roll all your dice at once. If many of them come up Xs or without a match, that pile will go away in a hurry!
Strike may be stupid fun, but it's also Major Fun. And I don't mean stupid in an insulting way. By all rights, chucking dice into a box lid should barely qualify as a game, but Strike manages to take this stupidly simple, lovely idea and craft it into an experience that is a joy to play no matter your age. I've introduced Strike to dozens and dozens of players from ages 6 to 66 and the universal reaction has been "Let's play again." This is the cornerstone for any game worthy of the Major Fun Award.
In a day and age where even games for families and children grow increasingly complex, it's a pleasure to find in Strike a game that celebrates simplicity as a basic expression of playfulness and joy.

Rolling America
At Major Fun, we love games that can accommodate everyone. Big groups, tiny families, and everything in between. Games that can be played solo as well. Rolling America fits that bill, and when we find a game that we love and it can be enjoyed by any number of players, that's something special.
To be clear, Rolling America probably can't accommodate the entire set of positive whole numbers (citation needed). It's mainly a problem of seating arrangements when you get above 8 or 10. Definitely when you get into numbers that are best expressed in powers of 10.
What it CAN do is keep your brain buzzing along at a healthy clip while place numbers on an abstract rendition of the United States.
To play the game you will need the 7 dice (in a bag) and the maps provided by the good people at Gamewright. The map of the United States is divided into blocky representations of the 50 states. These are then colored by region, roughly: northeast (purple), Atlantic (red), south (yellow), north (blue), southwest (green), and west (orange). Each player gets a map and the dice are shared.
Rotating around the table, players draw two dice from the bag and roll them. They must write the number on one of the states that match the color of the dice. For example, if you roll a red 2 and a blue 5 then everyone must write the number 2 in one of the red states and the number 5 in one of the blue states. Which state, is up to each player as long as they follow the game's basic rules, the most important being that neighboring states must have consecutive numbers. So if Ohio is number 3, Pennsylvania can be 2 or 4 but not anything else.
After the first two dice are rolled and recorded, two more are drawn from the bag. When six of the seven dice have been rolled, all the dice go back in the bag and the players record that one round is over. At the end of 8 rounds you will tally up your score.
"But wait!!" you cry before I can reveal how you win. "You said there are 6 colored regions but there are 7 dice!! What's up with that?"
I'm glad you asked. The seventh dice is clear and is a wild die, meaning you can put that number in any color you want. I should also say that as you fill in the map you are going to run in to problems: chiefly that it is impossible to follow the consecutive rule all the time. In order to deal with this, the game has included a clever "cheating" mechanic—a way to break the rules (for a limited number of times). You get three Color Changes which let you make a colored dice wild. You get three Guards which let you put a number down illegally (not consecutive). Finally you get three Dupes that allow you to use a number on one of the dice twice. On the map are boxes that you use to mark off these special occasions.
If you are ever stuck with a number that you cannot legally place, you have to cross out one of the states in that color. The winner is the player at the end of 8 rounds who has the fewest number of Xs on the map.
And getting stuck is a big part of the game. Early in the game, when the map is wide open, it seems like you will breeze right through, but in only a few rounds you notice that your regions are filling up and you have blank Indiana but it is sandwiched between an Illinois 2 and an Ohio 6.
We loved the building tension and complexity. We also loved how everyone took their turn together. It was fascinating to see what other people came up with using the same numbers that I had. It's strategically deep and very challenging. And Major Fun.

The controller feels nice and smooth in your hands. It plays well and the buttons are firm just like any other licensed Microsoft Xbox controller product. The Fable design is pretty neat and although the controller doesn't have the "matte" feel, it doesn't get slippery in my hands. I recommend this product to those who either like Fable or want something different from the traditional Xbox 360 controller design.

Permethrin Kills Cats – Pet Tip 247
Permethrin is a synthetic insecticide that is used in agriculture, forestry, home pest control, and in the treatment of head lice in humans. Permethrin is a neurotoxin, meaning it attacks the nervous system of insects causing over-excitation and death. It is found in a wide range of topical flea and tick products that can be purchased in the grocery store, pet store, and large retailers. Although these products are safe when used on dogs they are toxic to cats and cause feline permethrin toxicosis.

I'm slowly realizing that Neil Jordan is one of my favorite directors. Not because he does anything truly amazing every time he gets behind the camera, but because he has some interesting ideas and usually fleshes them out into generally solid pictures. Take The Brave One as an example.
People claiming the film to be dull are probably those that really want revenge and blood and guts and fist pumping. Not a methodical character study that looks at the idea of the hollowness of the revenge emotion from a new and interesting angle. So yeah, if you want blowed-up real good, go watch Death Sentence or Death Wish. Sure Harry Brown is a fun picture, but it's just an old…
Jody Foster's presence was why I stuck it on my Netflix list, but I was otherwise a bit wary... the director, Neil Jordan has an extremely inconsistent body of work, from interesting (The Crying Game) to questionable (Interview With a Vampire, whose major flaw was bad casting, something for which Jordan can't be held responsible) to downright awful (We're No Angels). The last film I saw of his was pleasant enough (Ondine, a nice Irish fairly tale reminiscent of The Secret of Roan Inish, though not as good), so I tried to keep an open mind with this one. In the end I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
Reading the plot, it looks like a modern…
It's like Taxi Driver, only instead of a psychopathic cab driver like Travis, it's prostitute Iris all grown up as a radio host.
In terms of plot this is just another "Death Wish" remake, but Foster's typically incredible performance and some artful direction from Neil Jordan this becomes something that satisfies both genre thrills while also working as a heartfelt drama. Jodie Foster really shines in thrillers, think her amazing turns in "Silence of the Lambs" "Inside Man" and "Panic Room". What she accomplishes in these films is balancing a believable vulnerability with this incredible confidence that sells whatever her character has to do to accomplish her goals. This is one of her highlight performances, much of the first hour is just her alone, its not till over an hour in that she begins to interact with her co lead Terrence Howard. Howard…
Jodie Foster delivers a powerful performance as the second vigilante in 2007 to be inspired by Mr. Charles Bronson (the other being Kevin Bacon in Death Sentence). The main problems lie within the layout of the story, itself a somewhat overlong experience given its subject matter, and the way it overcomes obstacles with such ease. The coincidences and plot elements pile up too quickly and clash with the intended realism. Still, The Brave One is surprisingly raw for a studio picture, and despite it being awfully convenient for our hero to go on her path it's still a very well-made picture.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
There's no real reason why The Brave One should have caught my eye any more than the myriad other revenge movies of the last decade, but it did. Maybe because it was built around a woman for a change, or maybe because that woman was played by Jodie Foster? Which itself is a bit peculiar since I've only seen a few of her performances so far. I've enjoyed them all, but for whatever reason I've made no real effort to explore her filmography. Anyway, I picked up the DVD at Half Price Books awhile back and finally got around to it.
There are no real surprises here, which ordinarily would be a liability for a genre film like this. It…

This movie will question your morals by the end.........I'm not sure if I agree with how this finished - Jury is out.
spoiler alert. Similar to "Death Wish", only she gets the culprits in the end. Also she has more psychological difficulties.
In a recent review I suggested Jodie Foster hadn't been in anything but stupid films since The Silence of the Lambs. That might have been an exaggeration and here is a film that is trying very hard not to be stupid, but I don't know if it really manages it. A vigilante film. Foster and her partner are attacked and beaten unconscious: she survives but he dies. She is nervous of the city, buys an (illegal) gun and when she is in a store a man bursts in and shoots the store keeper, Foster responding by shooting the gunman in self-defence; then on the subway there are two thugs... You probably get the picture, it's Death Wish with Foster as…
The clichés pile up in this thriller from Neil Jordan, which drew apt comparisons to vigilante 'classic' Death Wish upon its release in 2007. It's interesting to see Foster once again as the victim of a violent assault, after her award-winning turn in The Accused, but the film drags on for what seems longer than its two hours. Part of a growing transatlantic trend of films depicting the underclass as irredeemable thugs who deserve to be shot. For other examples, see Michael Caine in Harry Brown.
Morally and legally just so wrong. Tries to be a building one up after a crash-story but ends up being just morally corrupting. Jodie Foster is fine but ... One is left with the hope that one does not ever have to encounter fear that breaks one morally and throws one to vigilante-path.
Not a very good film, but fairly entertaining. Didn't really know what it wanted to be; a film about human tragedy, a psychoanalytical narrative exploring bereavement and revenge or just a reworking of exploitation movies from the 70s and 80s, notably Death Wish or MS 45 angel of vengeance, which in my eyes were far more superior movies.
The mournful look on Jodie Foster's face just makes her look like she is constipated and her assailants well, they deserved it! As a viewer I didn't care why she shot them, they wasn't nice people! There wasn't that much depth, half the time I was waiting for her to wear a mask and become a crime fighter…with her new Charles Bronson…
Not Jodie's best performance or hairstyle
With the complex Mona Lisa, Neil Jordan explored how violence and its consequential dilemmas can evolve into a costly price. It's a heady and intricate genre-bending gangster film with a surprising amount of heart.
The Brave One also ruminates on whether violence can serve as a benefit to a person's surroundings. I just don't think it's as consistently thoughtful. It's even a bit frustrating after the manner in which so much potential is squandered.
Radio broadcaster Erica Bain (Jodie Foster) has her life torn apart when her fiancée David (Naveen Andrews) is beaten to death by a group of thugs in Central Park. After three weeks in a coma, she goes home to an apartment full of silent memories of…
The Brave One is a sometimes overlooked vengeance flick, that has quite a lot going for it. First off, neil Jordan 's fine directing makes for a stylish and beautiful looking movie. The acting is exceptional, in particular from Foster and Terence Howard. I also like that the movie is a well thought out and smart character study that mixes quite emotionally well with the gritty and graphic violence associated with movies like this. It's not really an action movie, though, but stands quite well as a sort of female version of the first Death Wish.

Drills buying guide
The drill is the most popular and versatile of all power tools and has become an essential in every DIY tool kit. Not only useful for drilling holes into a variety of materials, they can also be used to drive home screws (with the correct bit attached).
Consider whether you will be looking for a drill with a 'hammer' action - Not only can these drills rotate a drill bit, but they can also apply a 'hammering' action. Switch to hammer (or impact) mode, and the drill bit is vibrated and shunted forwards rapidly as it turns. This makes for quick work, especially through harder wall surfaces or materials. Fit a specialist chisel bit, and you can use your hammer drill for 'chasing' - making a channel in walls to hide wires and cables.
This guide will help you to choose the right drill for your needs - and explain the function of some of the most popular accessories.

Kroger Buying Shaw's?
Posted in the Grocery Forum
#223 Jan 21, 2011
Will,after reading that article in SN I hope that they offer an early retirement to Shaws employees soon.I may take them up on the offer!!!
It gets more depressing every day. I went to the new Market basket in Salem N.H. the other day and all I can say is WOW!!How embarrasing to go into my store the next day after seeing that place.
#224 Jan 22, 2011
It appears from Shaw's Facebook page that their customer base is top-heavy with extreme couponers and other deal-seekers:
It isn't all roses at Market Basket, either; their Manchester project is running well behind schedule, plus their Seabrook and Stratham projects are on indefinite hold.
Since: Jan 11
#225 Jan 22, 2011
I would also take a package if offered. I would have before and let someone take my job. This has been awful for those of us left behind.
Since: Jan 11
#226 Jan 26, 2011

#227 Jan 26, 2011
Yes: 3 in Mass and 2 in R.I. are those the stores you are referring to ?
Since: Jan 11
#228 Jan 27, 2011
Yes, Any idea who?
#229 Jan 28, 2011
yes they are all Shaws
#230 Jan 29, 2011
Latest that I heard is that Wegmans offered Supervalu 680 million for the entire Shaws chain but Supervalu said no way . They want 1 billion and not one cent less. Any comments on this???
Since: Jan 11
#231 Jan 30, 2011
I didnt hear that Gameboy but it does not surprise me. Supervalu seems to be sticking to the 1 billion but I dont know who would be willing to pay that. I read it is only worth 700 to 800 million. I just dont see how they can keep running the business as they are right now. If they dont sell I would imagine they will just keep closing stores. Even the ones making money are still way down as far as customer volume.
#232 Jan 30, 2011
I was surprised this past weekend that there were not more people at my local Shaws. They had a good Cat deal going on and some good deals on soda. I thought for sure that the store would be loaded with shoppers, but sadly it was the same as it has been on Sat. mornings with 2 registers open and no lines. I hope that it's not too late for Shaws to pull out of this funk that Supervalu put them in.
#233 Jan 30, 2011
Supervalu can stick to the billion dollar mark but any one who knows business can see they won't get it. Their stock has fallen to $7.38. They owe billions and the shareholders won't sit back and watch their shares go down down down. The wall street journal did a report on supervalu trying to sell shaws.( http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2010/12/20/breakin... ) You can't keep closing stores and dragging the shaws name down and expect someone to pay one billion dollars.
Last time I checked Dr. Evil doesn't run supervalu.

#235 Feb 4, 2011
While your numbers might be right ...it wasn't Wegmans, maybe Hannaford but Wgmans can not afford anything the size of Shaws or that price right now.
#236 Feb 4, 2011
Hannaford would have to dispose of most of the Shaw's locations in Northern New England in order to pass regulatory muster, and you can be sure that DOJ would force Delhaize to sell those stores to a competitor. In other words, too messy. Shaw's will either be sold piecemeal to various operators already in the region or to a single entity, probably private equity. However, for a single operator to be successful Supervalu would have to settle on a price that allows an operator to put money into the stores and operate on a cost basis closer to Hannaford and Market Basket.
Wegmans has enough on its plate with organic growth to get involved in a risky turnaround play. Other family-owned operators like Price Chopper and Big Y are on the acquisition trail, but not for anything on the scale of a Shaw's buyout.
#237 Feb 10, 2011
I heard some news today from a good source.
10 more stores will be closed soon (gloucesters ipswich,peabody )I think the salem n.h. store is doing around 250,000 since the new Market Basket opened a month ago across the street. These Massachusetts stores were put in the New Hampshire market area last time there was a realignment. I also heard that they are going to eliminate all assistant department manager positions. It is costing Supervalu 4 million dollars to fly all of the managers out to Minnesota on March the 6th, I don't think this will be a meeting on how great we are doing as a company. New fiscal year in a few weeks,It wont get off to a good start!!!
Since: Jan 11
#238 Feb 11, 2011
Interesting....When is all this supposed to happen? I can see all those stores closing and more. I cant imagine them staying open with the customer counts we have right now. I happen to see some coffee prices go up twice this week. it's just a matter of time. the sooner the better as far as I am concerned. I work in one of those stores and it just gets worse and worse....
#239 Feb 11, 2011
Letter from Larry today(you know the generic one that says we are constantly looking for was to streamline our operations yada yada yada) 24 store support positions to be eliminated at Shaws. Do not know what these positions are. Could be as high as Market area directors or people left in Bridgewater offices. I am sure there are MANY more to come.What an exciting time at Shaws!!!! I can't wait for the new fiscal year. Please offer buyouts to associates with 30 or more years. I bet you could really streamline the business that way.
Since: Jan 11
#240 Feb 12, 2011
I wish they would have offered us packages when they did so for Store managers. I know myself and others who would have jumped at it. Ya, Exciting times at Shaws Lol!

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 31 reviews
Great place to stay for people wanting to eat at nearby restaurants and to enjoy river walks. Short drive to Noosa. Reasonable rates.
A 4 day relaxing stay with beach life, excursions with boat and car, good food.
Great location, friendly service, comfortable room
Enjoyable stay in very good location
We needed somewhere that was affordable, close to resturants, and enough room for a couple to spend a long and lazy weekend. This fit the bill. A dip in the pool and a few minutes walk to resturants and shops was a relaxing tonic during the warm weather we had. It's also 10-15 minutes drive to Noosa and the beaches.

You might not love the idea of living without toilets and running water, and that's fine - you're not alone.

Yes, you can have it both ways.
However long you want to stay at "John C.""Jack""Briscoe Group Use" Campground, whether it's just a couple of days or a week or more, don't forget to check on area attractions just in case you get bored after a day or two in a hammock. Also, it's important be aware of the fire danger level where you are, for safety reasons.

Justin Timberlake Gushes About Marriage to Jessica Biel on 'Ellen' [VIDEO]
Justin Timberlake dropped by Ellen Degeneres' talk show on Thursday, April 25, and had nothing but good things to say about his marriage to bombshell Jessica Biel.
Justin Timberlake dropped by Ellen Degeneres' talk show on Thursday, April 25, and had nothing but good things to say about his marriage to bombshell Jessica Biel.
Selena Gomez infamously split from Justin Bieber and bragged about making him cry, but she kept it classy when Ellen DeGeneres asked her about the breakup this week.
You can thank Brad Pitt and Taylor Swift for that.
Seems new celebrity pregnancies are announced every week. But if you're waiting for Portia de Rossi to be one of them, don't bother -- because she and wife Ellen DeGeneres like their childfree lives just as they are, thanks.
The internet collectively lost its ish today as talk show host and 'Finding Nemo' voice artist Ellen DeGeneres announced on Instagram and on 'Ellen' that she would be reprising her role in a 'Nemo' sequel titled 'Finding Dory.'
- Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were freakin' adorable all over Australia.
Ellen DeGeneres is always doing her part to brighten spirits. Fortunately this sometimes comes at the expense of a famous person's dignity. Here is a montage of a bunch of times Ellen had somebody sneak up behind a guest and scare them...
New Orleans' Ninth Ward lost more than 4,000 homes in 2006′s Hurricane Katrina. For the last four years, Brad Pitt has been helping to rebuild the area through his "Make it Right" foundation.
Pitt took Ellen DeGeneres on a tour of the progress on 'Ellen.' What they saw may surprise you.
"Ellen is the only person that, I guess, I'd take my clothes off for," said Mario Lopez on DeGeneres' show this weekend. We all know that's not true. Just take a look at, well, any of his photo shoots, TV show appearances or magazine covers. The guy is one of those hunks that all future hunks must compare themselves to, and Lopez knows that.
It was impressive enough that Taylor Swift booked a four-night run of sellout performances at L.A.'s Staples Center. Then she went and added surprise cameos from Justin Bieber and Jason Mraz, who each popped up for unannounced duets. Sunday night marked the end of Taylor's Staples residency, and she had yet another surprise special guest for her fans: Ellen DeGeneres.

JAPAN: Automakers join venture to expand EV fast-charge network
By Graeme Roberts | 24 November 2011
Nine Japanese companies - including automakers - have clubbed together to establish a quick charging network for electric vehicles in Japan.
Kanematsu Corporation, Kandenko, Suzuyo Shoji, Chubu Electric Power, Toyota Motor (TMC), the Development Bank of Japan, Honda Motor and Mitsubishi Motors agreed to establish the Charging Network Development Organisation to provide membership-based quick-charging services.
The organization plans to encourage increased and widespread use of EVs by helping to expand the charging infrastructure. By the end of October, around 800 quick chargers have been installed in Japan, a number still viewed as insufficient from a users' standpoint, CNDO said.
"Until now, quick chargers have generally been installed, at the owner's expense, by businesses and private organisations for private use or as part of a government programme.
"The lack of an effective method to recover costs has become a significant obstacle to widespread installation."
Using the new membership service, quick-charger owners can register their chargers with CNDO in a central database. CNDO will then make charger information, such as number and location, available to EV users registered as members. Membership fees will pay a portion of the installation and maintenance costs incurred by quick-charger owners, helping to promote infrastructure development. CNDO hopes to be running in fiscal year 2012.
The concept for the service resulted from investigations conducted by a working group formed at the request of the CHAdeMO Association - a 412-member group established to promote the development of a quick-charger infrastructure - in July 2010.
Last March, CHAdeMO said it would support commercial development of the service to develop a quick-charging infrastructure.
The organization said it would seek the cooperation of a broad range of local governments and businesses for the service while working to increase interest in quick-charger installation, thereby establishing a charging infrastructure sufficient to encourage the greater use of EVs and to increase user convenience.
CNDO is based in Tokyo and has capital of JPY11m. The various partners in the venture hold stakes ranging from 4.5% to 18.2%.
