Melex archer is a boring programmer who out of boredom signs up to Free Medical Experimentation at FreeMedExperiments.eu and thus, becomes a mutant ninja.
This game was inspired by AAA title Prototype. It involves fighting off hordes off mutants, military, tearing down buildings, fighting off giant bosses and having the attack button go right through your keyboard and the desk.
Left / Right arrow - run around
Up arrow - Run up the walls
Down arrow - Slide down the walls / Stomp
Z, Y or W - Jump
X - Attack
C - Special attack
Left + Right (hold) - Charge
Escape or P - Pause menu
This game uses the autosave feature. Your progress is saved each time you complete a mission.
In [secret] your progress is saved when entering the pause menu.
The high scores are posted when completing a mission entering the Main Menu.
Even if you fail a mission, you get to keep all the loot (gems and powerups), so that the next try will be a bit easier.
There is an infallible tactic for every boss you encounter, the fun part is working that out :)
There is a secret powerup, that is too secret to write about it here.
Melex drops Thelemite gems too when he dies, you can gather these on retry (not much, but still).
Remember that powerups are keys to success. There's invincibility, ground spikes, double jumps, quadriple jumps. If you have trouble, think how can you use them to force your way!
Riddley boss tips
As I said, there's an infallible tactic for every boss. If you have trouble with any of the bosses, please read the riddley hints below. I didn't want to spoil all the fun, so I hope you like it in this form.
Those with heavy legs need _special_ tratment.
Those with long legs never look at the _sky_.
Those without legs _hate_ special treatment.
Those with fiery legs won't _charge_ you. (This one is lame, sorry)
This was great. I feel regardless of what reviews look like here, you should know you did very good. It took me a bit to figure out a way to beat the final boss, but i did it within 10 minutes =] But anywaysss i really liked this and it was also great if you turn off the sound and play wolfgang gartner =]]]
What an incredible game ! LOVED the graphics ! the story, the dialogue, the enemies, the power, everything was really well done. It'so entertainin i could say it's too short, I WANT MORE !
i liked it till the damn bird things.
i hate instant deaths. plain and simple its to irritateing to complete. great game till those stupid points.
old school games
This reminds me of some of the old nes games my little brother used to play. Where it didn't matter how many power ups you had or how skillfully you could run and gun the levels, if you weren't a high grade psionic there was no way you could beat the final boss. Game was good overall, but i'm not going to spend half an hour trying to kill a copperhead by grabbing it's head 30 times in a row. Especially when the snake randomly says "Nuh-uh!" and ignores my grab and bites me 100 times in a row because the first bite stun-locked me. Anyone who has reached the final boss and figured out how to fight him should understand my labored metaphore.

Why we mix up names of people we know well A large survey sheds light on why we have slips of the tongue when we call very familiar people by the wrong name. We've all done it: used the wrong name when we know the right one perfectly well. And we all know when it's most likely to happen. But here's a study come to reassure us that it's okay, this is just how we roll. The study, based on five separate surveys of more than 1,700 respondents, finds that these naming errors (when you call someone you know very well by the wrong name) follow a particular pattern that tells us something about how our memory is organized. Usually the wrong name comes from the same relationship category. So I call one son by the name of the other; on a bad day (e.g. when there's a lot going on, perhaps a lot of people around, and I'm thinking of many other things — say, at Christmas), I might run through both sons, my partner, and my father! Not just family, you can mix up friends' names too. And the bit that's really enlightening: family members might also be called by the name of the family dog! Interestingly, only the dog; cat owners don't make such slips of the tongue. (Yes, dogs are family; cats not so much.) Unsurprisingly, phonetic similarity between names is also a factor, although it's less important than relational category. Names with the same beginning or ending sounds, or with shared phonemes (e.g., John and Bob), are more likely to be muddled. But it's not affected by physical similarity between people — not even by gender (which surprised me, but then, in my household I'm the only female). More importantly, it's not a function of age. Misnaming errors are common across the board. http://www.futurity.org/moms-families-dogs-names-1152392/ Reference: [4178] Deffler SA, Fox C, Ogle CM, Rubin DC.

Attention warps memory space A recent study reveals that when we focus on searching for something, regions across the brain are pulled into the search. The study sheds light on how attention works. In the experiments, brain activity was recorded as participants searched for people or vehicles in movie clips. Computational models showed how each of the roughly 50,000 locations near the cortex responded to each of the 935 categories of objects and actions seen in the movie clips.05/2013tags memworks: attentionscenescategorizationMynd: How memory worksResearch Read more about Attention warps memory spaceAdd new comment
How your brain chunks 'moments' into 'events' We talk about memory for 'events', but how does the brain decide what an event is? How does it decide what is part of an event and what isn't? A new study suggests that our brain uses categories it creates based on temporal relationships between people, objects, and actions — i.e., items that tend to—or tend not to—pop up near one another at specific times.05/2013tags memworks: autobiographical memoryepisodic memorycategorizationencodingsemantic memoryMynd: How memory worksResearch Read more about How your brain chunks 'moments' into 'events'Add new comment
Ability to remember memories' origin develops slowly October, 2011A study comparing the brains of children, adolescents, and young adults has found that the ability to remember the origin of memories is slow to mature. As with older adults, impaired source memory increases susceptibility to false memories. In the study, 18 children (aged 7-8), 20 adolescents (13-14), and 20 young adults (20-29) were shown pictures and asked to decide whether it was a new picture or one they had seen earlier. Some of the pictures were of known objects and others were fanciful figures (this was in order to measure the effects of novelty in general). After a 10-minute break, they resumed the task — with the twist that any pictures that had appeared in the first session should be judged "new" if that was the first appearance in the second session. EEG measurements (event-related potentials — ERPs) were taken during the sessions. ERPs at the onset of a test stimulus (each picture) are different for new and old (repeated) stimuli. Previous studies have established various old/new effects that reflect item and source memory in adults. In the case of item memory, recognition is thought to be based on two processes — familiarity and recollection — which are reflected in ERPs of different timings and location (familiarity: mid-frontal at 300-500 msec; recollection: parietal at 400-70 msec). Familiarity is seen as a fast assessment of similarity, while recollection varies according to the amount of retrieved information. Source memory appears to require control processes that involve the prefrontal cortex. Given that this region is the slowest to mature, it would not be surprising if source memory is a problematic memory task for the young. And indeed, previous research has found that children do have particular difficulty in sourcing memories when the sources are highly similar. In the present study, children performed more poorly than adolescents and adults on both item memory and source memory. Adolescents performed more poorly than adults on item memory but not on source memory. Children performed more poorly on source memory than item memory, but adolescents and adults showed no difference between the two tasks. All groups responded faster to new items than old, and ERP responses to general novelty were similar across the groups — although children showed a left-frontal focus that may reflect the transition from analytic to a more holistic processing approach. ERPs to old items, however, showed a difference: for adults, they were especially pronounced at frontal sites, and occurred at around 350-450 msec; for children and adolescents they were most pronounced at posterior sites, occurring at 600-800 msec for children and 400-600 msec for adolescents. Only adults showed the early midfrontal response that is assumed to reflect familiarity processing. On the other hand, the late old/new effect occurring at parietal sites and thought to reflect recollection, was similar across all age groups. The early old/new effect seen in children and adolescents at central and parietal regions is thought to reflect early recollection. In other words, only adults showed the brain responses typical of familiarity as well as recollection. Now, some research has found evidence of familiarity processing in children, so this shouldn't be taken as proof against familiarity processing in the young. What seems most likely is that children are less likely to use such processing. Clearly the next step is to find out the factors that affect this. Another interesting point is the early recollective response shown by children and adolescents. It's speculated that these groups may have used more retrieval cues — conceptual as well as perceptual — that facilitated recollection. I'm reminded of a couple of studies I reported on some years ago, that found that young children were better than adults on a recognition task in some circumstances — because children were using a similarity-based process and adults a categorization-based one. In these cases, it had more to do with knowledge than development. It's also worth noting that, in adults, the recollective response was accentuated in the right-frontal area. This suggests that recollection was overlapping with post-retrieval monitoring. It's speculated that adults' greater use of familiarity produces a greater need for monitoring, because of the greater uncertainty. What all this suggests is that preadolescent children are less able to strategically recollect source information, and that strategic recollection undergoes an important step in early adolescence that is probably related to improvements in cognitive control. But this process is still being refined in adolescents, in particular as regards monitoring and coping with uncertainty. Interestingly, source memory is also one of the areas affected early in old age. Failure to remember the source of a memory has many practical implications, in particular in the way it renders people more vulnerable to false memories.

Helping students & children get enough sleep October, 2011Simple interventions can help college students improve their sleep. Regular sleep habits are important for young children. Sleep deprivation especially affects performance on open-ended problems. One survey of nearly 200 undergraduate college students who were not living with a parent or legal guardian found that 55% reported getting less than seven hours sleep. This is consistent with other surveys. The latest study confirms such a result, but also finds that students tend to think their sleep quality is better than it is (70% of students surveyed described their sleep as "fairly good" or better). It's suggested that this disconnect arises from students making comparisons in an environment where poor sleep is common — even though they realized, on being questioned, that poor sleep undermined their memory, concentration, class attendance, mood, and enthusiasm. None of this is surprising, of course. But this study did something else — it tried to help. The researchers launched a campuswide media campaign consisting of posters, student newspaper advertisements and a "Go to Bed SnoozeLetter", all delivering information about the health effects of sleep and tips to sleep better, such as keeping regular bedtime and waking hours, exercising regularly, avoiding caffeine and nicotine in the evening, and so on. The campaign cost less than $2,500, and nearly 10% (90/971) said it helped them sleep better. Based on interviews conducted as part of the research, the researchers compiled lists of the top five items that helped and hindered student sleep: Helpers Taking time to de-stress and unwind Creating a room atmosphere conducive to sleep Being prepared for the next day Eating something Exercising Hindrances Dorm noise Roommate (both for positive/social reasons and negative reasons) Schoolwork Having a room atmosphere not conducive to sleep Personal health issues In another study, this one involving 142 Spanish schoolchildren aged 6-7, children who slept less than 9 hours and went to bed late or at irregular times showed poorer academic performance. Regular sleep habits affected some specific skills independent of sleep duration. 69% of the children returned home after 9pm at least three evenings a week or went to bed after 11pm at least four nights a week. And a recent study into the effects of sleep deprivation points to open-ended problem solving being particularly affected. In the study, 35 West Point cadets were given two types of categorization task. The first involved categorizing drawings of fictional animals as either "A" or "not A"; the second required the students to sort two types of fictional animals, "A" and "B." The two tests were separated by 24 hours, during which half the students had their usual night's sleep, and half did not. Although the second test required the students to learn criteria for two animals instead of one, sleep deprivation impaired performance on the first test, not the second. These findings suggest the fault lies in attention lapses. Open-ended tasks, as in the first test, require more focused attention than those that offer two clear choices, as the second test did. News reports on sleep deprivation are collated here. Reference: [2521] Orzech KM, Salafsky DB, Hamilton LA. The State of Sleep Among College Students at a Large Public University.

Visual perception - a round-up of recent news July, 2011Memory begins with perception. Here's a round-up of recent research into visual perception. Memory begins with perception. We can't remember what we don't perceive, and our memory of things is influenced by how we perceive them. Our ability to process visual scenes has been the subject of considerable research. How do we process so many objects? Some animals do it by severely limiting what they perceive, but humans can perceive a vast array of features. We need some other way of filtering the information. Moreover, it's greatly to our advantage that we can process the environment extremely quickly. So that's two questions: how do we process so much, and so fast? Brain region behind the scene-facilitation effect identified A critical factor, research suggests, is our preferential processing of interacting objects — we pick out interacting objects more quickly than unrelated objects. A new study has now identified the region of the brain responsible for this 'scene-facilitation effect'. To distinguish between the two leading contenders, the lateral occipital cortex and the intraparietal sulcus, transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to temporarily shut down each region in turn, while volunteers viewed brief flashes of object pairs (half of which were interacting with each other) and decided whether these glimpsed objects matched the presented label. Half of the object pairs were shown as interacting. The scene-facilitation effect was eliminated when the lateral occipital cortex was out of action, while the non-performance of the intraparietal sulcus made no difference. The little we need to identify a scene The scene-facilitation effect is an example of how we filter and condense the information in our visual field, but we also work in the opposite direction — we extrapolate. When ten volunteers had their brains scanned while they viewed color photographs and line drawings of six categories of scenes (beaches, city streets, forests, highways, mountains and offices), brain activity was nearly identical, regardless of whether participants were looking at a color photo or a simple line drawing. That is, researchers could tell, with a fair amount of success, what category of scene the participant was looking at, just by looking at the pattern of brain activity in the ventral visual cortex — regardless of whether the picture was a color photo or a line drawing. When they made mistakes, the mistakes were similar for the photos and the drawings. In other words, most of what the brain is responding to in the photo is also evident in the line drawing. In order to determine what those features were, the researchers progressively removed some of the lines in the line drawings. Even when up to 75% of the pixels in a line drawing were removed, participants could still identify what the scene was 60% of the time — as long as the important lines were left in, that is, those showing the broad contours of the scene. If only the short lines, representing details like leaves or windows, were left, participants became dramatically less accurate. The findings cast doubt on some models of human visual perception which argue that people need specific information that is found in photographs to classify a scene. Consistent with previous research, activity in the parahippocampal place area and the retrosplenial cortex was of greatest importance. The brain performs visual search near optimally Visual search involves picking out a target in a sea of other objects, and it's one of the most important visual tasks we do. It's also (not surprisingly, considering its evolutionary importance) something we are very very good at. In fact, a new study reveals that we're pretty near optimal. Of course we make mistakes, and have failures. But these happen not because of our incompetence, but because of the complexity of the task. In the study, participants were shown sets of lines that might or might not contain a line oriented in a particular way. Each screen was shown for only a fraction of a second, and the contrast of each line was randomly varied, making the target easier or more difficult to detect. The variation in contrast was designed as a model for an important variable in visual search — that of the reliability of the sensory information. Optimally, an observer would take into consideration the varying reliability of the items, giving the information different weights as a result of that perceived reliability. That weighted information would then be combined according to a specific integration rule. That had been calculated as the optimal process, and the performance of the participants matched that expectation. The computer model that simulated this performance, and that matched the human performance, used groups of (simulated) neurons that responded differently to different line orientations. In other words, it appears that we are able, very quickly, to integrate information coming from multiple locations, while taking into account the reliability of the different pieces of information, and we do this through the integration of information coming from different groups of neurons, each group of which is responding to different bits of information. Another recent study into visual search has found that, when people are preparing themselves to look for very familiar object categories (people or cars) in natural scenes, activity in their visual cortex was very similar to that shown when they were actually looking at the objects in the scenes. Moreover, the precise activity in the object-selective cortex (OSC) predicted performance in detecting the target, while preparatory activity in the early visual cortex (V1) was actually negatively related to search performance. It seems that these two regions of the visual cortex are linked to different search strategies, with the OSC involved in relatively abstract search preparation and V1 to more specific imagery-like preparation. Activity in the medial prefrontal cortex also reflected later target detection performance, suggesting that this may be the source of top-down processing. The findings demonstrate the role of preparatory and top-down processes in guiding visual search (and remind us that these processes can bias us against seeing what we're looking for, just as easily as they help us). 'Rewarding' objects can't be ignored Another aspect of visual search is that some objects just leap out at us and capture our attention. Loud noises and fast movement are the most obvious of the attributes that snag our gaze. These are potential threats, and so it's no wonder we've evolved to pay attention to such things. We're also drawn to potential rewards. Prospective mates; food; liquids. What about rewards that are only temporarily rewarding? Do we move on easily, able to ignore previously rewarding items as soon as they lose their relevance? In a recent study, people spent an hour searching for red or green circles in an array of many differently colored circles. The red and green circles were always followed by a monetary reward (10 cents for one color, and 1 cent for the other). Afterwards, participants were asked to search for particular shapes, and color was no longer relevant or rewarded. However, when, occasionally, one of the shapes was red or green, reaction times slowed, demonstrating that these were distracting (even though the participants had been told to ignore this if it happened). This distraction persisted for weeks after the original learning session. Interestingly, people who scored highly on a questionnaire measuring impulsivity were more likely to be distracted by these no-longer-relevant items. The findings indicate that stimuli that have been previously associated with reward continue to capture attention regardless of their relevance to the task in hand, There are implications here that may help in the development of more effective treatments for drug addiction, obesity and ADHD. People make an image memorable What makes an image memorable? It's always been assumed that visual memory is too subjective to allow a general answer to this question. But an internet study has found remarkable consistency among hundreds of people who viewed images from a collection of about 10,000 images, some of which were repeated, and decided whether or not they had seen the image before. The responses generated a memorability rating for each image. Once this had been collated, the researchers made "memorability maps" of each image by asking people to label all the objects in the images. These maps were then used to determine which objects make an image memorable. In general, images with people in them were the most memorable, followed by images of human-scale space — such as the produce aisle of a grocery store — and close-ups of objects. Least memorable were natural landscapes, although those could be memorable if they featured an unexpected element, such as shrubbery trimmed into an unusual shape. Computer modeling then allowed various features for each image (such as color, or the distribution of edges) to be correlated with the image's memorability. The end result was an algorithm that can predict memorability of images the computational model hasn't "seen" before. The researchers are now doing a follow-up study to test longer-term memorability, as well as working on adding more detailed descriptions of image content.

Face-blindness an example of inability to generalize October, 2010It seems that prosopagnosia can be, along with perfect pitch and eidetic memory, an example of what happens when your brain can't abstract the core concept. 'Face-blindness' — prosopagnosia — is a condition I find fascinating, perhaps because I myself have a touch of it (it's now recognized that this condition represents the end of a continuum rather than being an either/or proposition). The intriguing thing about this inability to recognize faces is that, in its extreme form, it can nevertheless exist side-by-side with quite normal recognition of other objects. Prosopagnosia that is not the result of brain damage often runs in families, and a study of three family members with this condition has revealed that in some cases at least, the inability to remember faces has to do with failing to form a mental representation that abstracts the essence of the face, sans context. That is, despite being fully able to read facial expressions, attractiveness and gender from the face (indeed one of the family members is an artist who has no trouble portraying fully detailed faces), they couldn't cope with changes in lighting conditions and viewing angles. I'm reminded of the phenomenon of perfect pitch, which is characterized by an inability to generalize across acoustically similar tones, so an A in a different key is a completely different note. Interestingly, like prosopagnosia, perfect pitch is now thought to be more common than has been thought (recognition of it is of course limited by the fact that some musical expertise is generally needed to reveal it). This inability to abstract or generalize is also a phenomenon of eidetic memory, and I have spoken before of the perils of this.

Task determines whether better for neurons to generalize or specialize July, 2010A monkey study reveals that, although some neurons are specialized to recognize specific concepts, most are more generalized and these are usually better at categorizing objects. Previous research has found that individual neurons can become tuned to specific concepts or categories. We can have "cat" neurons, and "car" neurons, and even an "Angelina Jolie" neuron. A new monkey study, however, reveals that although some neurons were more attuned to car images and others to animal images, many neurons were active in both categories. More importantly, these "multitasking" neurons were in fact the best at making correct identifications when the monkey alternated between two category problems. The work could lead to a better understanding of disorders such as autism and schizophrenia in which individuals become overwhelmed by individual stimuli.

Words influence infants' cognition from first months of life March, 2010Like human faces, infants are predisposed to pay attention to words. Now a new study shows that they learn concepts from them from a very early age. Like human faces, infants are predisposed to pay attention to words. Now a new study shows that they learn concepts from them from a very early age. In the study, in which 46 three-month-old infants were shown a series of pictures of fish that were paired either with words (e.g., "Look at the toma!") or beeps (carefully matched to the words for tone and duration), those who heard the words subsequently showed signs of having formed the category "fish", while those who heard the tones did not. Categorization was assumed when infants shown a picture of a new fish and a dinosaur side-by-side, looked longer at one picture than the other. Reference: [294] Ferry AL, Hespos SJ, Waxman SR.

The majority of Americans who buy prescription drugs say they are concerned about the costs of their medications, but most are unaware of how much their new prescriptions cost and whether there are lower-cost options, according to a national survey sponsored by insurer UnitedHealthcare.
Consumers' unfamiliarity with lower-cost options and generic alternatives means that consumers might be missing out on significant out-of-pocket savings. For example, UnitedHealthcare estimates that in its plans there could be an annual health care savings of $1.1 billion, including more than $490 million saved on co-pays, if fully insured plan members switched to lower-cost options such as generic equivalents.
The survey highlights a troubling trend: Thirty percent of respondents indicated that the high cost of prescriptions had caused them to skip doses or not take their medication.
Among other findings from the survey, which was conducted in August 2010:
Information on Cost-Saving Options
The survey indicated that a majority of Americans who buy prescriptions are interested in learning more about lower-cost options. According to UnitedHealthcare, ways to helping employees better understand the costs of medications so as to reduce their prescription drug spending while maintaining clinical effectiveness include:
"We've seen very good uptake from our members who are aware of the half-tablet program," Heady added, especially when pharmacists are involved. "When we don't provide any assistance at point of service in the pharmacy, we typically see 10 to 12 percent of our members take advantage of that option. Where we provide some assistance to the pharmacist at the time the prescription is filled, we see that number move up to as much as 30 percent," he elaborated.

The Zagat Review
A "pioneer of California cuisine", this "endearing" "survivor" in Santa Monica is still a "standout" after more than 30 years, impressing "old-school money" with "memorable" market-driven cooking in an "art gallery–like" dining room or on the "magical" outdoor patio; though "hardly the trendsetter it once was", it remains a "solid" choice with "cordial" service and a "sophisticated" wine list – plus "now you can get in without the monthlong wait."

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It is a lovely morning here in Chicago - blue skies and sunshine, but still chilly. I know Spring is near because I have heard the Cardinals singing, and
this same family of Cardinals show up every Spring. My daughter and I have plans today to go to the Kane County Fair Grounds Antique Show. It is the first Sunday of each month starting in March. We are on the hunt for treasures for her wedding in June.
This card was created based off of this week's sketch at Retro Sketches. I love this sketch - maybe because I am so into fishtails! :)

my DH boots are head vector 90/100s. Seeking greater comfort/precision I swapped out the stock liners for intuition Powerwraps?, the ones that came standard with Scarpa Tornados and had them baked at a shop.
These certainly felt better and fixed a few hot spots on my feet but stiffened up the boot somewhat. My question is by how much?
I just want to get a feel for how a boot of a certain flex feels as I go forward in my skiing journey. So if the boot was a 90 flex with stock liners would it now have similar flex to a 100, a 110 or maybe a 91!
I know its just a number and the numbers are not uniform across different models and makers but as I said Im trying to build my own frame of reference as to what different flex indexes feel like and which ones may work best for me.
These were my first custom boots, at 28.5 they were three sizes smaller than the 31.5s the rental shops had put me in the last 3 seasons!
thanks for any help

Might as well dive right into the holiday food conversations! From the mashed potatoes to the Brussels sprouts, gravy is the tie that binds everything on the Thanksgiving plate. It's a wonder we don't make it more often, honestly. Do you find that's true? Or do you make gravy more often throughout the year?
I'll make a pan sauce from reduced cooking juices or after deglazing a pan, but I wouldn't really call any of these sauces "gravy." I'm not usually thickening them with starch as I do with a Thanksgiving gravy, so they seem simpler and less decadent.
No, I'd have to say that gravy feels like the special purview of Thanksgiving to me. Just saying it invokes a sense of having spent all day cooking, being surrounded by friends and family, and savoring every bite of rich gravy-coated food. We make pan sauces the rest of the year, but on Thanksgiving, we make gravy.
Then again, biscuits and gravy are starting to sound pretty good right about now... What do you think?

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend - Season 2 (2016)
TrailerTo most looking in, Rebecca Bunch has a great life: a high powered job as an attorney in a prestigious New York law firm, great future prospects in her chosen profession, looks, brains, and money. But she has always suffered from anxiety and depression, for which she is on a plethora of pills. Those maladies are largely from being pushed by her overbearing Jewish mother, which also led to Rebecca's father abandoning the family when she was young. When on the streets of New York Rebecca runs into Josh Chan, her boyfriend from summer camp ten years ago when they were sixteen, she remembers back to that time as the happiest time in her life, happiness which eludes her. When Josh mentions that he is imminently moving back to his hometown of West Covina, California, Rebecca decides to pursue happiness in moving to West Covina herself, telling people it's because she got a fabulous job there, where in reality it's to rekindle a relationship with Josh, which she believes is what will make her happy. As Rebecca ekes out a life in West Covina with a wide array of new friends, colleagues, allies and enemies - within this collection being Josh and his friends - Rebecca may come to some realizations about her life and what she is trying to achieve. Does this all make her a crazy ex-girlfriend, or is it a little more nuanced than that?

Board Office359 Woodland Road
Madison, NJ 07940
Phone: 973-593-3101
Our Town
The Borough of Madison is a small, suburban community in southeast Morris County, New Jersey. Madison borders on five other municipalities: the boroughs of Florham Park and Chatham are to the north and east, the townships of Chatham, Harding and Morris are to the south and west. Morristown and Summit are nearby, to the northwest and southeast, respectively.
Madison is served by Morris and Essex line trains of NJ Transit direct to Penn Station in New York City as well as to Hoboken (with connections to lower New York City by the Hudson Tubes.) Access by auto is most easily made from NJ Route 24. If coming from east of Madison use Exit 7A and follow Route 124 through Chatham to Madison. From the west use Exit 2A, turn right off the ramp and take the first left onto Park Avenue. Follow Park Avenue into Madison.
OriginsMadison is located on a ridge of land extending from near Summit northwest toward Morristown. This ridge is made up of the remains of the terminal moraine left by the Wisconsin Glacier more than 10,000 years ago. Low-lying wetlands are on either side of this ridge; the Great Swamp to the southwest and the Black Meadows/Troy Meadows area to the northeast. These lowlands are part of the remains of Lake Passaic, which was formed by melting ice as the glacier receded. Until the lake was drained the higher elevation portions of Madison were on a small island in the lake.
Eventually the lake drained when the ice receded enough to reveal the Little Falls Gap. However, the signs of the glacier can still be seen around town. There are many "potholes" in Madison, which mark the place where huge chunks of ice were left behind to melt, buried in the rubble which had been pushed forward by the glacier. One of the largest of these is visible from Glenwild Road, on the property of Drew University. In recent years Morris County acquired the "Moraine" property as public parkland. This is part of the outwash plain from the glacier in its terminal position.
This ridge provides a natural route from the Short Hills gap in the Watchung Mountains to the higher country north and west of Morristown. The Minnisink Trail, used by the Lenape Indians, passed along what is now Kings Road in Madison. In 1804, the Morris Turnpike was established along the route of present Main Street. In 1837 (only seven years after the first public railroad in the United States!) the Morris and Essex railroad was completed, following this natural ridge through Madison. As a result of being on the "Main Road" Madison developed earlier than many neighboring towns and was heavily influenced by its access to good transportation.
Brief HistoryThe earliest settlers of European descent arrived about 1715 and established "Bottle Hill" at the crossroads of Ridgedale Avenue and Kings Road. The Luke Miller house at 105 Ridgedale Avenue is thought to be the oldest remaining home in the Borough, built around 1730. Morris County, created in 1739, was divided into three townships. The area in Madison north of Kings Road was in Hanover Township and the area to the south in Morris Township. A meeting house for the Presbyterian Church of South Hanover, as Madison was then called, was started in 1747 where the Presbyterian Cemetery still exists between Kings Road and Madison Avenue. Later, in 1806, Chatham Township was formed, comprising the present Madison, Chatham Borough, Chatham Township, and Florham Park, and thus the political division of the village was ended. In 1834, the name of the village was changed to Madison, and in 1889, with a population of 3,250 persons, it seceded from Chatham Township and became a borough in order to develop a local water supply system.
Madison's growth accelerated after the Civil War. The railroad provided good transportation for its farm produce. Later it made possible the establishment of a flourishing rose growing industry, still commemorated in Madison's nick-name, The Rose City. The Morris and Essex Line became one of America's first commuter railroads, attracting well-to-do families and contributing to the development of "Millionaire's Row," which stretched from downtown Madison to Morristown.
The rose industry and the large estates in the area attracted working class people of all kinds. As a result, Madison very early developed a varied population, both in terms of socio-economic status and ethnic background. The original settlers were of British stock; French settlers came after the Revolution; Blacks have been members of the community from early in the 19th century; Irish came in mid century and then Germans and Italians around the turn of the century. To this day there is a substantial community of Italian descent in Madison. Today Madison remains a diversified community.
Madison TodayRapid population growth in the 20th century, especially in the 1920's and following World War II, has created an almost fully developed municipality. Madison, with an area of four square miles, has a population of approximately 16,000. The dominant land use is single-family housing, occupying 52 percent of the developed land, largely on lots well under one acre. Public and quasi-public uses occupy 25 percent of the developed land and commercial uses 13 percent. Most of the remaining land is used for multi-family housing with less than two percent vacant. Industrial uses are minimal.
Madison is known as a community with strong educational, cultural and historical amenities.The Free Public Library of the Borough of Madison is exceptional for a community of Madison's size and is widely regarded as one of the finest small community public libraries in New Jersey.
Madison is the home of Drew University and has the Fairleigh Dickinson University Madison-Florham Park Campus and the College of St. Elizabeth immediately adjacent.
There is a strong public school system, which maintains relatively small class sizes and a broad curriculum. There are three elementary schools, one junior high school, and one high school. The high school is also attended by students from nearby Harding Township. In addition, St. Vincent Martyr Church operates an parochial elementary school in Madison.
Madison is the home of the New Jersey Shakespeare Festival, the Playwright's Theater of New Jersey, the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts, and the Adult School of Chatham, Madison, and Florham Park.
Madison's downtown is one of the few thriving central business districts in the State. It is supported by a Downtown Development Commission and a Downtown Manager. The Madison Civic Commercial Historic District, which includes much of "downtown" as well as Borough Hall and the train station, is on the State Register of Historic Places. At any time there is very little vacant commercial space.
In addition, Giralda Farms, a planned office development on 175 acres of the former Dodge Estate has five of a possible seven projects completed. This development requires that 85% of the land be maintained as open space and that almost all vehicle parking be underground.
Madison has a wide range of housing opportunities, from garden apartments, affordable housing and starter homes to large residences. Residential areas exhibit many positive attributes, with neighborhood parks and tree lined streets which reflect the historical development of neighborhoods.
Madison has been very successful in providing federally subsidized low and moderate income housing. The Madison Housing Authority, established in 1981, has been responsible for the construction of a two senior citizen housing complexes (one with seventy-nine units and the other with twelve) and fifty townhouse units. The latter have been developed under a "scatter site" plan and are integrated into the community. The work of the Housing Authority has been nationally recognized for its quality and performance and its management expertise is in demand from other communities.

(Almost) Friday Function: alarm
Last week I decided to start a weekly column detailing an interesting function each Friday, entirely forgetting that I would be on holiday, without internet access (shock horror!), tomorrow. So here's your column a little early.
The alarm function is something of a novelty, in that all it does is to make an annoying noise when you call it. The only vaguely sensible time that I can think of that you might want to do this is when an error is thrown. Setting this up means overriding the default error handling behaviour, which is surprisingly easy.
options(error = alarm) stop("!!!") # to test the behaviour
For best results, make sure you've unplugged your headphones and turn the volume up loud to annoy friends, family and colleagues while debugging.
(To restore the default behaviour, use options(error = NULL)
21st April, 2011 at 17:42 pm
With more detailed investigation one learns that the function aliases
> cat("\a")
Which suggests, for those users who like to be verbose, tossing an extra "\a" into a cat command will add an alarm. Useful.
26th April, 2011 at 23:11 pm
Well spotted, and yes it does. message("\a") too.

During my most recent remodeling project, I needed to replace an older baseboard hydronic radiator with a newer Runtal wall mounted radiator (FWIW: Runtal makes a very high quality product right in in MA USA). At the local Home Depot, one of the Homers turned me on to these Shark Bite solderless fittings. These things are For The Win ! They cost a bit more money than regular copper fittings, but they go together as easy as Lego's, and the really cool thing about them is that you can rotate the pipe without them coming loose or leaking, making assembly really easy. If you screw something up, they are also a snap to remove. I would highly recommend that you give these a shot on your next home project, they really makes things a lot easier and faster. I wish somebody had told me about these things sooner. |

When looking for help online, you often need to know the version of SharePoint you're using. This topic is designed to help you find that out.
Updated October 13, 2016 thanks to customer feedback.
Find the version of SharePoint you're using
If you see something that looks familiar, click the image to go to more information about that SharePoint version.
If you see
There is no ribbon and there is an app launcher icon.
The body shows Frequent and Suggested sites
The Quick Launch bar shows Following, Recent, and Featured links as options.
You're using SharePoint Online
SharePoint Online Classic mode
If you see
Title of environment is Office 365
Title of app is SharePoint. There is a ribbon.
You're using SharePoint Online Classic mode
If you see
Title of environment is SharePoint
Title of app is Sites. This title also appears on the app launcher like this. There is a ribbon.
You're using SharePoint 2016
If you see
There's a ribbon but no app launcher*, and only "SharePoint on the title bar.
*As of July, 2016 the app launcher is now available for SharePoint Server 2013 hybrid installations. For more info, see SharePoint hybrid
To switch between apps, there is a top menu bar.
You're using SharePoint 2013
If you see
The Site Actions button is used to get to all SharePoint 2010's settings.
Home is a button rather than a link.
The Quick Launch bar is preset with Libraries, Lists, and Discussions.
You're using SharePoint 2010
Note: One possible problem with the descriptions on these pages is if your version of SharePoint has been customized by your admin or site management. SharePoint is extremely configurable, and your admin can change or modify almost every aspect of what a site looks like and the options you have. If your site doesn't fit into any of these guides, you may need to ask your admin or site manager.
SharePoint Online
SharePoint Online can operate in either the modern user interface mode, or the classic SharePoint mode.
The Modern user interface is easy to recognize.
The redesigned Home page displays frequently visited sites, the latest activity, followed sites, and recommended sites. There is also no ribbon.
The Site contents page has also been updated. You can now add a list, document library, apps, or a subsite, right from the first level menus.
Document libraries offer list or tile views, with the ability to pin files, images, videos, audio, or whatever you want at your fingertips at the top of the page.
Document libraries let you move or copy files between folders in the library with Move To and Copy To.
Lists are also updated with a new look, and through the modern user interface, there is no ribbon.
The details pane. Click Open the details pane and see context sensitive information on the list, library, or individual files.
In a document library, you can view file activity. Select a file and view or edit properties, like name, title, or hashtags.
Command line above library has ellipses (...) you click for more options. The commands appear on the Command bar when in full screen mode, or on the ellipses menu when in a reduced size. The command bar also changes whether you have items selected or not.
In the new List user interface, you have new Flow and PowerApps features on the command bar.
Quick Edit and Export to Excel are also right there on the bar.
SharePoint Server 2016 and SharePoint Online Classic mode
SharePoint Server 2016 and SharePoint Online classic mode are very similar. But there are two easy to spot exceptions, all in the upper left corner of the screen. Here's a quick way to check. If you are using SharePoint OnlineClassic mode, you can use Help topics specified for SharePoint 2016.
SharePoint Online Classic mode
Title of environment is Office 365
Title of app is SharePoint
SharePoint Server 2016
Title of environment is SharePoint
Title of app is Sites. This title also appears on the app launcherr like this.
SharePoint Server 2016
SharePoint Server 2016 is similar to SharePoint 2013. The command centers for both are ribbons, and many of the settings and content screens are the same. However there are some differences.
If you have SharePoint Online but are in Classic mode, pretty much everything will look like SharePoint 2016, with two exceptions:
SharePoint Server 2016
Title of environment is SharePoint
Title of app is Sites. This title also appears on the app launcher like this.
SharePoint Online Classic mode
Title of environment is Office 365
Title of app is SharePoint
Here some visual clues to identify SharePoint 2016. SharePoint 2016 was the first version of SharePoint to use the app launcher icon. SharePoint 2016 shares this with SharePoint Online, and is where you can start SharePoint, OneDrive, the NewsFeed, or other apps depending on how your admin has configured it.
The Settings button in SharePoint 2016 is on the left of your login ID and Help icon (?), where SharePoint 2013 is on the right of your login. The Settings button shares the line with the app launcher, the environment name, and the app title is on the title bar.
There is a command bar in SharePoint 2016 document libraries. It lets you create a New document, Upload, Sync, and do other library tasks. The items that don't fit on the command line are listed under the More command.
The commands on the command bar change whether you're looking at a list or document library. For a list, only two options are offered, New and Edit, so it looks different.
Views are just listed just under the command bar. Click the ellipses (...) for a drop down menu to modify or create a view.
SharePoint Server 2013
SharePoint Server 2013 has a ribbon with buttons to launch tasks. The difference between this and SharePoint 2016 is that there is no app launcher icon.
The menu bar for SharePoint, NewsFeeds or Yammer, and OneDrive (or SkyDrive) is on the top right. If there are additional apps installed, they can appear as well.
The SharePoint 2013 settings button is on the top link bar, on the right of your login ID. This differs from SharePoint 2016 which is on the left of your login ID.
SharePoint Server 2010
SharePoint Server 2010 is quite different from the later versions of SharePoint. There is no Settings button, but a Site Actions button in the upper left of the screen. When you click Site Actions , you can get a options to create new pages, sites, document libraries, view and update permissions, and get to all site settings and content.
The Quick Launch bar on the left of the page, spells out libraries, lists, and discussions as headings. You can also open the Recycle Bin or view all site content.
When you open either Libraries or Lists, and click Create, the selection of types are illustrated with colorful and relatively detailed icons. Later versions of SharePoint use more simplified icons. Additionally from either Libraries or Lists, you can filter types from all down to just the specific type you want.
When you click All Site Content, you get a list of elements that your site contains, including a description and the last time modified.
About the Quick Launch bar
The Quick Launch bar is a pane that appears on the left side of the screen where you can go directly to pages, libraries and other areas of your site.
You can set whether lists and libraries are displayed there, as well as pages, subsites, Wikis, and other areas of your SharePoint site. The Quick Launch bar is a constant navigation method through the versions of SharePoint, although the look and contents change between versions.
You can add almost any element of your SharePoint site to the Quick Launch bar through the settings. For lists and libraries, use the list settings or library settings, and click List name, description and navigation or Library name, description and navigation and look for Display this document library on the Quick Launch?
For more on editing the Quick Launch bar, see Customize the navigation on your team site.
SharePoint_Online Quick Launch
SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint_Online Classic Quick Launch
SharePoint 2013Quick Launch
SharePoint 2010Quick Launch
You can also display the Quick Launch bar as a tree view. For more information on that, see Display the Tree View in the Quick Launch bar.
About the App Launcher
The app launcher is a grid type icon that opens a thumbnail menu of your apps.
It is in the upper left corner of SharePoint Online, Office 365, and SharePoint 2016. As of July 2016, the App Launcher is available for administrators to deploy on SharePoint Server 2013 Hybrid installations. Depending on the apps you have installed or subscribed to, the menu of apps can vary.

Time Bandit is a Gauntlet-style arcade game with text adventure elements.Having nothing to do with the Terry Gilliam movie Time Bandits, this game utilises the time-travel theme for a fast-paced preview of the concept getting famous with Gauntlet two years later. Your bandit visits 16 different worlds throughout time to grab as much loot as possible and, in the long run, do some universe-saving stuff as well.
Each of the 16 locations -- featuring such varied places like a medieval arena, a bomb factory, a wrecked spaceship and a ghost town -- is basically a labyrinth filled with treasure and -- you guessed it -- monsters. You've got to dodge these or blast them with your weapon, while collecting keys, opening doors and searching for the exit. Although theoretically each location consists of 16 sub-levels, these are merely the basic layout flipped or mirrored, some items redistributed and the monster speed increased. After completing a level, you return to the world map, where you may freely choose the next challenge (nice) and save your game (very nice).
Interestingly, Time Bandit tries to spice up the fast arcade action with text adventure scenes. Due to this strange mixture, you will occasionally bump into persons or computer consoles with which interaction is possible. For example, you've got to explore and repair the damaged spaceship Excalibur. However, the parser is crude at best; you'll have to know exactly what to do, or else you will trigger no reaction.
Gaming veterans will discover a score of elements of and allusions to arcade classics, such as Tutankham, Pac-Man, Centipede, Bomberman, and others.

Developer Harry Lafnear couldn't stop himself from turning the game's background story into a poem in the manual. The following excerpt does (in my humble opinion) not only perfectly sum up the poet's talent, but also the whole plot and the entire significance of the game:Into all the confusion the Time Bandit goes.
Among the Guardians he finds only foes.
For he takes the treasures that they wish to own
And carries them off for reasons unknown.

Composer and oudist Rabih Abou-Khalil generates variety and interest by bringing aboard different guest musicians for each album. The personnel on Sultan's Picnic is so similar to that of Blue Camel that one might expect them to sound similar. But there's a key difference in the presence of Howard Levy on Sultan's Picnic. Levy is a talented harmonica player who has done a lot of offbeat work, including a stint with Béla Fleck & the Flecktones. Despite the power of Charlie Mariano on alto sax and Kenny Wheeler on trumpet, this album is dominated by the idioms of the harmonica, specifically the jazzy, quirky, lackadaisical idiom popularized by Levy's work with the Flecktones. This domination is noticeable from the beginning, on "Sunrise in Montreal."
Double-CD, career-spanning retrospective that offers little in the way of surprises: it's a tastefully selected overview of her career highlights, heaviest (and justifiably so) on her late '60s albums. There's the inevitable feeling of letdown as disc two progresses; her post-early '70s material is far less interesting than her earliest work, even if it's inoffensive. All of the first five albums (through 1971's Gonna Take a Miracle) are now on CD, so this is most suitable for the fan who isn't passionate enough to be a completist. Includes a couple of previously unreleased live tracks from the 1990s; the version of "Sweet Blindness," unfortunately, is not the original late-'60s recording, but from a late-'70s live album.
Peter Weir's haunting and evocative mystery is set in the Australia of 1900, a mystical place where the British have attempted to impose their Christian culture with such tweedy refinements as a girls' boarding school. After gauzily-photographed, nicely underplayed scenes of the girls' budding sexuality being restrained in Victorian corsets, the uptight headmistress (Rachel Roberts) takes them on a Valentine's Day picnic into the countryside, and several of the girls, led by the lovely Miranda (Anne Lambert) decide to explore a nearby volcanic rock formation. It's a desolate, primitive, vaguely menacing place, where one can almost feel the presence of ancient pagan spirits. Something – and there is an unspoken but palpable emphasis on the inherent carnality of the place – draws four of the girls to explore the rock. Three never return. No one ever finds out why. The repercussions for the school are tragic, and of course Roberts reacts with near-crazed anger, but what really happened? Weir gives enough clues to suggest any number of explanations, both physical and supernatural.
