Ken got a new jacket and two sets of long underwear, the hat I made him and a game for his computer from John (Ghost Recon). He also got some incense sticks from me and two shirts from his daughter.
Matthew got an Amazon gift certificate, a speaker set for his Ipod, and an odd assortment of other stuff.
John got money. It's hard to know what to buy for a soldier because they tell him what he needs and tell him what he can't have. He's rather had to buy for. So money is a good gift for him.
John brought me two music CDs: A Winter Solstice V and A Winter Solstice VI both by Windham Hill. I like these because they are not overly "Christmasy" and I can actually listen to them year round. They a bit on the side of elevator music, but it's nice background stuff for any occasion or situation. I would play these at the office, for example.
Michelle (my step daughter), got me some incense cones which are very nice and a $25 gift certificate to Michaels. You know that will be put to good use.
Marie (my step-daughter-in-law) made me a really nice necklace to go with some of my new office outfits.
I got a small bit of some dark blue wool (close to navy) from my mom along with $100 that I can use towards another fiber related purchase.

Artist Registry
The Springfield Regional Arts Council has created a registry of artists in Springfield and our 27-county region in Southwest Missouri. The Artist Registry is compiled as a comprehensive catalogue and made available at local design trade shows and business expositions for residential and commercial purposes. Images of the artists' works are also presented in an electronic slideshow at various events and locations.
Click an artist name to learn more and get a closer look at the artist's work. Artists should only be contacted for inquiries in buying, commissioning, or exhibiting their artwork.

"The world of digital ....ENHANCED" In my photography, I feel compelled not to leave the image rest on the Kodak paper...I must take it to the next level and beyond... "Is it a watercolor? Oil painting? A lithograph?" they inquire. "No it is a result of a transition." as am I...is that another grey hair in the mirror I see? Then I color it! Bring it to the level of beauty and add a bit of punch!

M. Scott Phifer — "Unplanned Parts"
When I am painting, I am having a conversation with the canvas, paint and eventually the artwork itself. Sometimes the conversation is a short chat. Sometimes the conversation is a long drawn out affair that takes weeks. And because of that, I believe, my artwork reflects my life. There are a few overwhelming themes in my artwork, family and friends, love, angels and mothers.

As a person who takes the road less traveled, every painting is an experiment, an exercise in visual problem solving. My goal is to create a harmonious composition of variation, texture, movement, light and dark, repetition and balance; similar to a musical composition.

I walked with a friend in the North Cascades in Washington, and I tugged on his arm. "Don't you see the way the light looks like someone dunked that mountain into an aquarium?" I said. "Don't you see we're lucky?" But I feel that way when I notice twigs on the sidewalk or sunlight on a doorknob. So I took photos and I wrote a little bit about people I met. I worked and traveled, and I didn't try very hard to publish or sell what I did. Then I hit my head on an icy hill in Washington, and I decided I better start trying.

My gallery shows usually consist of Springfield cityscapes, and regional landscapes which have great local appeal. I also work directly with designers and clients for the just the right look and size for their offices and homes, which may include vacation spots, individual homes, pets, portraits and various degrees of abstracts, color field and non-objective works.
Meike AtonMedium
It is my intention to create enjoyable art. I want the viewer to feel drawn into my work through it's color, subject matter or simply by arousing curiosity that asks to be satisfied. The process of creating a painting gives me great joy. Once the subject is chosen, I delve into the matter, losing all sense of time and place. If the time at hand is limited, I set an alarm to wake and bring me back to the here and now. I appreciate my fellow artists and enjoy taking their classes — there is always something new to be discovered.
Melissa J. SzymanskiMedium
I am currently working on a show for September 2012 First Friday Art Walk at the OTC Art Department in the Gillioz Theatre Building. The show title is "Taking Flight". Creating colored pencil drawings is a slow and intentional process which lends itself to very tight and controlled representational artwork. In working on the drawings for Taking Flight, I have tried to push my boundaries with the medium and break out of that "pigeon hole". The result is a series of looser drawings that I cut out and rearranged, giving them a very sculptural quality.

Writing an "artist's statement" is difficult...it's like trying to describe a color. Is it art, craft, trash, or treasure? I don't know, nor do I care. I know only that I am happiest when I am able to utilize my creativity to fabricate the images in my imagination. Thinking about what, why, or how I do it merely serves to take away from the time I get to spend doing it. From childhood, I have dabbled in many different mediums to express my art. In recent years I have chosen to work primarily with kiln formed glass because it offers endless possibilities of fascination and challenge.

My name is Joe and I'd like to speak with you for a moment about reading.
Were you aware that the average American watches approximately 4 to 7 hours of television every single day?
That means that over the course of his or her lifetime, an average American spends a minimum of 11 years of that life watching TV.
Yet that same average American reads half of a book each year. That's right, HALF.
1/3 of high school graduates never read another book in their entire lives.
42% of college graduates never read another book their entire lives.
There's nothing wrong with watching a little TV. I love movies, enjoy several funny shows, and of course…SPORTS!
However, if an average American reader were to spend one hour of television time per day reading instead of watching, then that person would complete at least 52 books in a year.
Try to imagine the changes in your life if you were to take up the challenge to read for one hour a day. That means that in one year you could read:
- 10 great works of theology
- 10 books on Biblical studies
- 10 books that will help you share your faith, pray more effectively, and minister to the hurting and marginalized
- 10 books that will help you be a better husband, father, wife, mother, or friend
And after all that you would still be able to read 12 novels, plays, poetry collections, classics of literature, or whatever "brain candy" you enjoy. (I have a particular fondness for Westerns myself.)
All that in just one hour a day! That's just two sitcom re-runs or one episode of Law and Order. Don't you think that would make a huge impact on your life and on the lives of the people around you?
So what do you say? Let's all put down the remote and pick-up a book!

Thursday night, the Lady Toppers competed in a conference game against Illini Bluffs. Illini Bluffs came out hot, but the Lady Toppers kept it close. At halftime, the Toppers were only down 8 points. During the second half, the refs weren't letting anything go. Because of that, the Tigers just shot free throw after free throw until they were able to put the game away. Many of the fans weren't enjoying the refs' calls and in return, 2 fans were ejected from the game. The Tigers ended up winning 56-40 over the Lady Toppers. The Toppers record is now 12-11. Their next game is home against Tri-City on Thursday night.

Pathways & interactions
CGT/MARTX, cysteine protease (CPD) domain (IPR020974)
Short name: CPD_dom
Overlapping homologous superfamilies
Domain relationships
Large bacterial protein toxins autotranslocate functional effector domains to the eukaryotic cell cytosol, resulting in alterations to cellular functions that ultimately benefit the infecting pathogen. Among these toxins, the clostridial glucosylating toxins (CGTs) produced by Gram-positive bacteria and the multifunctional-autoprocessing RTX (MARTX) toxins of Gram-negative bacteria have distinct mechanisms of post-translocation, but a shared mechanism of post-translocation autoprocessing that releases these functional domains from the large holotoxins. These toxins carry an embedded cysteine protease domain (CPD) that is regulated by a unique allosteric activation mechanism. Binding of the eukaryotic-specific small molecule inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP(6)) to a basic cleft within the CPD induces a structural rearrangement that exposes the protease active site to its substrates. Proteins containing this domain belong to the peptidase family C80 of clan CD [PMID: 20628577, PMID: 17464284, PMID: 18845756, PMID: 19465933].
The CGT/MARTX CPD domain consists of a central beta-sheet that is surrounded by alpha-helices. Additional beta-strands at the C terminus form a subdomain known as the beta-flap, that is loosely attached to the core protease. The CGT/MARTX CPD catalytic dyad is composed of one His and one Cys residue. The distance between the catalytic residues indicates that the Cys is not activated by protonation from His, but rather suggests that the Cys is substrate-activated by close alignment of the scissile bond, while the His functions solely to protonate the leaving group [PMID: 20628577, PMID: 18845756, PMID: 19465933].

Curiosity, thrills, and wanting to create and see the unknown keeps me coming back everyday as a designer.
I'm a print designer by lineage but love design of all types from web, app, responsive, and environmental, to VR, AR, and, emerging technologies. My day-to-day consists of creating or improving products and experiences, which is really just a fancy way of saying I fish-out where clients are having problems and craft elegant ways to solve them.
I've been working with clients, consultancies, and agencies large and small since 2002 under various titles but regardless of what part I play in the creative process, the technology, or the methods or tools, my mind is set on finding the right solution and getting things done. I have a fluent grasp of Japanese, have many years experience working in and with Japanese businesses.
Currently, I live with my family in a quiet town near Sapporo, Japan working remotely for companies, creative agencies, and clients throughout Japan, the U.S.A., and the world.

The murders of 17 people during a school shooting in Parkland, Florida on Feb. 14 has renewed America's national debate over gun laws. After similar tragedies in recent years, that debate yielded nothing of substance, but this time things are different. This time, the surviving students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are giving us all a lesson in speaking truth to power. This is not a new phenomenon. Students also helped lead the civil rights movement several generations ago.
Let's not lose this moment, because the forces behind the status quo are powerful, indeed.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the National Rifle Association (NRA), which aggressively promotes the interests of gun manufacturers, spent $54.4 million on all political campaigns in the 2016 election cycle. That more than anything else explains why past mass shootings have not led to meaningful changes in America's gun laws.
Many are calling for a ban on "assault weapons," a term which is ill-defined at best and often applied inconsistently. What's needed is a comprehensive approach — at the national and state levels — and we're not talking about banning all guns. The Second Amendment is perfectly compatible with laws that promote public safety and individual responsibility. Let's start with meaningful steps that Congress should take:
• Require universal background checks for every gun purchase, including those at gun shows and between private parties. No sale should become effective until a background check is complete.
• Limit all ammunition magazines to 10 rounds, as several states have done already. Standard 10-round clips are sufficient for personal safety. Larger, 30-round clips often are used in mass shootings.
• Require gun manufacturers to modify semi-automatic firearms so they can't be fitted with devices that convert them into machine gun-like weapons.
• Ban bump stocks and make possession of them a felony.
• Require intensive gun safety training for all new gun owners.
• Raise the minimum age for buying semi-automatic weapons from 18 to 21.
• Require all gun owners to carry at least $250,000 in firearms liability insurance, and require proof of insurance as part of all background checks.
• Require gun owners to carry proof of insurance when possessing a firearm outside the home — similar to drivers of motor vehicles — and require law enforcement to confiscate weapons and arrest possessors when such proof is not produced. (Allow courts to return weapons to first offenders if they can prove they had insurance at the time but merely forgot to have it with them.)
In addition to the above suggestions — none of which violates the Second Amendment — state lawmakers should toughen domestic violence laws to keep firearms out of the hands of abusers. Equally important, Louisiana should make sure law enforcement officers enforce gun safety laws already on the books.
These steps won't eliminate the threat of mass shootings. However, over time, we believe they would significantly reduce the likelihood of such carnage. This much everyone should know by now: The NRA's default solution of "more guns" has not worked. Our elected leaders should stop listening to the NRA and start listening to the survivors.
The Second Amendment is perfectly compatible with laws that promote public safety and individual responsibility.

Do It Your self Yellow Letter Advertising
As actual estate professionals, our most worthwhile deals have been discovered via direct mail and we believe yours will likely be, too! Bruce speaks and debates all through California and has been a guest speaker at the California Builders Business Affiliation, California Association of Mortgage Bankers, The Financial Executives Networking Group, the Southern California Appraisal Institute, the Condominium Homeowners Association, the Actual Estate Analysis Council, numerous California Realtor associations, the native Chamber of Commerce, and several other native and nationwide funding golf equipment.
Not only are yellow letters unique, however the yellow lined paper can often be seen via most envelopes. I've checked out several websites on the best way to produce a yellow letter, and also you hit this one out of the park!! The common going charge is anywhere between $0.15 to $0.50 per letter to hire somebody or, alternatively, advertising and marketing firms charge on average $0.75 to $zero.eighty per letter.
A really helpful marketing campaign is hitting them as soon as each 2 weeks alternating 5 yellow letters and 5 postcards. While doing all of this there was completely no approach that I had time to keep up with my advertising. While some individuals are utilizing this methodology and actually writing letters by hand, some entrepreneurs are just shopping for client lists from direct marketing companies that promote access to their databases for that goal.
Perceive for a few dollars a day, you may have an extremely profitable actual estate investing enterprise. Proof of possession, a current licensed appraisal or county tax assessment and any mortgage/lien or lien release of any real property. I wrote letters to different agents distributors, I dropped leaflets, we marketed as imaginatively as possible saying that even in that market we wanted property for sale.
You will see that utilizing our secret actual estate advertising software program your letters will get opened and have a response charge that is off the charts, assured!!! One factor is definite, you can't do ANY enterprise without implementing a marketing plan. Though the argument may be that postcards take far much less time to prepare than yellow letters, the truth is that if you want a worthwhile outcome out of your postcard marketing campaign, you might must just do as a lot work as a very good yellow letter marketing campaign.
Advertising and marketing goes out, calls are available to a phone system where the telephone numbers get recorded, we use FreedomVoice nonetheless. These are what I would call retail markets and we wish to be in wholesale markets where you discover vacant homes, abandoned properties. Many business real estate professionals have stopped working with them on leasing operations as a result of they attempt to keep away from paying even normal commissions.Read More

A RESCUE centre in Flintshire has finally been granted planning permission to take in animals – after 26 years.
Capricorn Animal Rescue in Padeswood has technically been operating unofficially since it opened its doors to stray pets.
Owner Sheila Stewart, who insisted she did not realise she did not have permission, said vital improvements would now be made at the shelter.
Leeswood councillor Ray Hughes said maintenance work was long overdue.
He said at a meeting of Flintshire's planning committee: "To be quite honest with you the centre is a mess.
"There are a lot of tourist coaches that travel up and down that lane and to look out of the window and in to the centre does nothing for the area.
"I support this application because it will do everything for that place.
"There was never planning permission for this so let us correct this and let them carry on with their fantastic work."
Volunteer Liz Egan outlined her case for planning permission at the meeting.
She said: "We wish to improve the habitat not only for the animals but for our work experience people too.
"We have an excellent reputation for the care of animals with students from all over working here.
"We want to create the sanctuary we have worked long and hard to establish."
Members voted unanimously to pass the plans, which include new outbuildings, better parking and improved access from Padeswood Lake Road.
Speaking to the Leader after the meeting, a delighted Sheila said work had already begun.
She added: "We have the chaps from the kennel company coming tomorrow to tell me what needs doing.
"To say I'm pleased is putting it mildly."

While Kraft has admitted the scandal damaged his friendship with Goodell, the commissioner said Wednesday things never got personal.
"I have disagreements with probably all 32 of our teams," Goodell said. "I'm not afraid of disagreement. I don't think disagreement leads to distrust or hatred. It's just a disagreement. You take your disagreements, find a common place and move forward. That's what it is. It's not all personal in nature, which I know people like to make it. For us, it's about making sure we do what's right for the league long-term."
Tynes held the Bucs responsible for employing trainer Todd Toriscelli, who now works for the Titans. Toriscelli, the director of sports medicine for the Titans, was with the Bucs for 17 years. He had several knee surgeries and had "admitted to close friends" that his own infection is what led to the MRSA infections of Tynes and Nicks because they shared the same hot and cold tubs and other therapy devices and equipment at the Bucs facilities, according to the Times.
Tynes, now 38, was undrafted out of Troy in 2001 and spent his first two NFL seasons on the Chiefs practice squad. After stints with the Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe and the CFL's Ottawa Renegades, he rejoined the Chiefs in 2004 and was their full-time kicker for three seasons.
Tynes spent the next six seasons with the Giants, helping them win a pair of Super Bowls before joining the Bucs in the summer of 2013. He never played a game for Tampa Bay after an ingrown toenail in mid-August led to his MRSA infection. He was still paid his $905,000 in base salary for 2013.
Tynes made 81.5 percent of his field goal attempts, with 190 made, and missed six of 363 extra-point attempts over his nine-year career.

Happy Monday to everyone! Today, as everyday is, was a mail day. Which means my HJC Jersey arrived.
The jersey itself is awesome! The logos and striping look great and really pop on the black jersey. I kept debating on purchasing one a few months back but ultimately decided not to. The main reason I didn't purchase one was because it was sublimated. But after seeing the jersey in person, it looks really nice. I also designed the shoulder patch and did the vector version of the primary so it's cool to see my own work come to life. If you were also debating on getting a jersey or not I would have to say that it's worth the price! I believe they're $75 for a fully customized jersey. I would of liked to have my name/number but how can I complain about a free jersey? It's also a size XL where as I wear a medium but once again... it's free! Here's a few up close photos.
|Shoulder Patch I designed

Timelines were not merging the way they were supposed to.
The plan was for me to start brewing at Cranker's during my sabbatical from teaching during the 2010-2011 school year. After listening to countless interviews with professional brewers from around the world on The Brewing Network, I knew better than to think that everything was going to fall into place according to our time projections. When you are dealing with construction, alcohol, and all levels of government bureaucracy breweries almost never open on time. Still though, I figured I would have had months to brew at Cranker's prior to my March deadline to tell my school district my plans for the following school year. As it happened, I had to tell my superintendant that I would not be returning to teaching before I even brewed my first professional batch of beer.
At first the transition away from teaching was pretty smooth. When my teacher friends were going back to work after their summer off, I was beginning to volunteer at Arbor Brewing two days a week. My time there ended in late October. After that I spent my time working from home on social media for the brewery, piloting recipes at home, starting this blog, and label design for our beers. Honestly, the transition to being home was tough though. I had a major career switch that was looming and there wans't much more I could do to prep for it beyond waiting for the brewery to be operational. Looking back I was trying to accomplish all of these 'work' tasks, while in reality I was doing more important work. Thankfully with the patient example of my wife, in time, I managed to meld pretty well into the pace and schedule of our household.
Earlier that year we were blessed with our fourth child, Isaac. He was the first baby to be born in the summertime. Our first three were January/February babies, so I was always at school for the majority of our kid's infancies. With Isaac things were different. I fielded far more dirty diapers, logged extended rounds with the Baby Bjorn, and jammed my iPhone full of baby pictures. I just realized it today that I was experiencing this stressful time on sabbatical, but in reality, the most important task I was accomplishing was a deeper connection with my kids, and in a special way our new baby Isaac.
Transitioning from teaching to brewing has been a challenge, but it has been an amazing ride that I do not regret. I have left a one job that I loved and was passionate about, for another one that I am equally as crazy about. The unexpected concequence of this whole escapade has been a closer relationship with my family. I am in a good place and I am at peace.
Drink good beer with good people!

Answer this question or Comment on this question for clarity
They are changing virtual kontainers quite a bit for the 5.2 release, so it's only available in 5.1 by special request (if you didn't have it prior to 5.1). Put in a support ticket if you really want to mess with it before the 5.2 release. Since they are making drastic changes and it's only a few months away, you may be better off waiting for 5.2.

Not true, listen guys while I absolutely concied that airsoft is more realistic in terms of a milsim experiance (one of the reason i got into airsoft). It does take athletisim to do what those guys in the video do. At that level the NPPL World Series, all the players and teams are sponsored. Their markers are pretty much computers with pistons. They carry the gear and upgrades they want so it is an equal playing field. And while luck may win you a round just like a lucky goal in hockey can win a game, it takes years of practice to become as good as those players are. You guys can mock the colours of the guns and jerseys all you want but at least give those athletes the respect they have earned.

A series of vignettes describing Amish people and customsPauline Stevick has visited more than 50 Amish homes in numerous Amish settlements across the country. She has attended weddings, viewings, school sessions and programs, family gatherings, and more than a dozen church services. She has ridden in Amish carriages and has even slept in Amish homes. Through her close association with the Amish, she has gained unique perspective and is able to provide keen insight into a culture that is misunderstood by many.Beyond the Plain and Simple reminds readers that although the Amish dress in almost identical clothing, they have distinct personalities and convictions. In vignettes and reflections she reveals the ways in which members of the Amish community live out their faith against the background of their communal culture, all the while emphasizing their individuality. Topics range from Amish family values to women to a retirement community in Florida to an Amish intellectual. Stevick's eloquent narration is descriptive rather than expository as she often draws comparisons between Amish society and mainstream society, sometimes preferring the Amish ways and at other times questioning them. Beyond the Plain and Simple portrays the Amish as dynamic people who experience struggles, failures, and successes not unique to their community.

Board Game Review: Targi
Who would have thought collecting and trading goods like salt, dates and pepper would result in a fun game called, Targi?
Designer: Andreas Steiger
Number of players: 2
Age: 12+
Time: 60 minutes
What's the game about?
A description from the publisher…
Targi is a two player game in which players assume the role of leaders of two Tuareg tribes who want their tribe to gain as much prestige and wealth as possible.
The goal: make it to the end of the game while handling your tribes and your trades to gain the most victory points.
The game is played on a grid of 25 cards, which symbolize the goods of the tribes. There is a fixed number of cards of 16 before you reach the edge of the desert. The 9 central cards are never in the same place from one game to another. The result: always a new game situation.
Basic idea in my own words…
Targi is a small card game in the "Games for 2" collection by Kosmos (Z-Man import into North America). In Targi, you are vying for the most victory points and having the greatest Targi tribe through the clever use of worker placement. In Targi, you are placing 3 Targi tokens on a grid of cards, in the hopes of being able to obtain the benefit of said cards. What makes the game unique is the rules for laying down Targi workers. We'll get into that in detail below.
Basic setup:
The game setup is quite easy. You locate numbered border cards, 1-16 and lay them down in a square, starting with 1 and wrapping around to 16. Then, you lay down good and tribe cards in the center of the border cards, alternating between the type of card. To start, 5 good cards will be out and 4 tribe cards. Each player also received 3 Targi markers and 2 tribe markers in one color. Place the robber piece above the first card. Each player receives 2 dates, 2 salt, 1 gold, 2 pepper and 3 victory point markers to start the game.
How do you play?
A turn sequence is as follows…
1.) Move robber – The robber moves to the next border card in sequence. With exception to the first round where it's laid out on the first card. Players may not place their Targi on the same card as the robber.
2.) Place Targi Workers – players take turns, in player order, placing 1 Targi worker on a border card only. You may not place a worker…
- Across from an opponents worker
- On the same card as the robber
- On the same card as a worker of your own
- On one of the 4 corners, which are the raid cards
3.) Place your tribal markers on the intersection card – the players trace their Targi workers to the intersecting card, located within the center or main area, within the border cards and place a token there. There may be some instances where you can't place both of them. This is part of the strategy, trying to strategically place your workers to maximize what you need, yet, screwing over your opponent.
4.) Resolve actions – both players may now resolve their actions on the cards where their Targi workers are and where the tribe markers are located. Players may resolve actions in any order they wish.
My thoughts
I really enjoy Targi. It fits that perfect 2 player niche. The game is tight enough because it's only for 2 players that you won't have any down time. The main mechanic of worker placement has some neat rule restrictions with it, which makes this game unique. And due to random card draws, no two games will be alike. Targi takes only about an hour to play which is a perfect length for a game this size. I didn't feel like I was cheated out of game, yet I found it satisfying to play.
Winning the game and some extra info
The game will end when a player lays down his 12th card, or when the robber makes it to the final card. When the game is done, you calculate points based on tribe cards, VP markers, special card text and bonus points for having matching or non matching cards in your tableau. I should mention your tableau. When you resolve a tribe card, there will be a cost in the upper right. You must pay that cost right away in order to lay the card. If you don't have the resources to pay for it, you may hold onto 1 tribe card in your hand. You always have the option to play this card later on, if you resolve the noble action on the "board." The game is really a race, to lay down these tribe cards in front of you. You may lay them down in 3 rows of 4. And you must lay them left to right. You get 4 extra points, per row, for 4 matching symbols (The tribe cards have symbols in addition to being worth VP's). Having 4 different symbols will grant you 2 points.
Goods cards do not go into your tableau. They are just for getting goods, immediately. When you resolve a card, such as a good card, you discard that card, and replace it with a face down card of the opposite type, in this case, a tribe card. When you are ready to move onto the next round, all these face down cards are flipped up. The border cards never change. Play proceeds like this, laying down workers, resolving and clean up, until the end of game is triggered.
Components: 3/5
The components are very good. Nothing spectacular, but your standard fare. The cardboard chits are thick enough, the "meeples" are good quality, the cards are good card stock and have good illustrations on them. The box is fine. It's a small game with an insert which helps for the loose chits and space for the cards.
Theme: 3/5
The theme is pretty euro-dry. But that's what I enjoy, more than space or pirates or zombies. The goal is to be the largest tribe of Targi and through this, score the most victory points.
Luck Factor: 2/5
There's not a lot of luck in this game, even though there's random card draws. There are plenty of games that rank higher in the luck category but this is more tame on luck and higher on strategy, in my opinion.
Strategy: 4/5
There's a good amount of strategy in Targi. You have to really sit and think what is the best spot to lay your workers and how to block your opponent at the same time. Since this is a two player game only and the play space is limited, you will find it highly restrictive where you may place your workers. So plan accorindlgy.
Overall Feelings: 4/5
My wife and I really enjoyed Targi. I try and make a point not to have too many 2 player games in my library due to the fact that they don't hit the table as often. But at the same time, I want them in my library, for those moments when you are just gaming two players. Targi fits that spot wonderfully. I highly recommend picking up Targi, especially since the price isn't that bad. Its highly competitive. The actions that you want will certainly be taken. It also has that feeling of a race to be the first to get the 12 cards to conclude the game.

FEATURE | A year of firstsby Meg Tilley / Edmonton Oilers
|Olli Juolevi, defenceman for the London Knights. Photo by Getty Images.
Patrick Laine versus Jesse Puljujarvi.
They are the top two European-born players heading into the 2016 NHL Draft, projected to be selected second and third overall.
Two right-wing, Finnish 18-year-olds, both members of the IIHF World Junior Championship team, Puljujarvi taking home MVP and top-forward honours with five goals and 17 points in seven games, Laine finishing third with seven goals and 13 points.
Their World Junior teammate Olli Juolevi ('Joel-Levy'), a defenceman for the Ontario Hockey League's London Knights, said NHL teams can't go wrong drafting either forward.
"They're both my good friends and I think they both have a good charisma," he said, reflecting on his time spent with his Finnish teammates.
A projected 2016 top-10 NHL Draft pick himself, Juolevi went to London after playing his 2014-15 season with the Jokerit U20 team in Finland.
As the Knights' first-round selection in the 2015 CHL Import Draft, Juolevi has been a force to be reckoned with on the blue line.
"I'm trying to work hard all the time and I think that's the biggest thing," said Juolevi. "How Finnish people are, good in hockey, hard working guys… [I'm] trying to work hard and do the best every day."
It's an impressive feat, considering the somewhat challenging transition European players can have when they come to play hockey in North America. Sometimes they're in need of an adjustment period when they come over to play major junior.
"That was the biggest thing," said Juolevi. "Where [now] I'm in smaller rinks. I'm pretty happy how things [have gone]. Of course, I need to get stronger, I'm a pretty skinny guy still, but those are things that still need work."

Regardless of what's left to improve on, it appears Juolevi made a near-seamless transition with the Knights, even despite overcoming a severe knee injury he sustained months prior to his arrival in London.
"That was pretty weird because that was my first big injury and I know I had moved down here," said Juolevi. "Our coaches trusted me and they knew that I was still recovering. I had a good start for a year and everything went fine."
A good start indeed, the blueliner recorded nine goals and 33 assists for 42 points in 57 games for his OHL season debut, as well as 14 points in 18 post-season games, helping the Knights secure the OHL title.
"[Juolevi] came here and he's definitely worked hard all year," said London Knights Owner, President and Head Coach Dale Hunter. "He's gained a lot of muscle mass and he's gotten stronger, he can really skate and hook the net, he's got a lot of confidence going right now."
The Helsinki native is ranked as the fifth-best North American skater by NHL Central Scouting and has had success internationally, winning gold at this year's World Juniors with Finland on home soil, one year after playing for the team in the U18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament.
"It was great," Juolevi said of World Juniors. "Especially [it being a] home tournament on my family turf and my friends watching the games so, especially winning the tournament, it was one of the [greatest] things you can achieve as a hockey player."
With a gold medal already tucked into his back pocket, the Finn and his Knights are also favoured to win the MasterCard Memorial Cup with the Knights in Red Deer, dominating the round-robin portion with a perfect 3-0 record and advancing directly to Sunday's championship game. A national title would be the ultimate reward, Juolevi said.

"That's the biggest thing," he said. "I've been with these guys the whole season and worked hard the whole year. I think it's even a bigger thing because Team Finland [was] tournament champs in a short period of time — but both [accomplishments] are super cool and it's just great things."
Juolevi has recorded six assists in London's three Memorial Cup wins thus far.
At the start of the season, there was a lot of comparison between Juolevi and Sarnia Sting defenceman Jakob Chychrun, who was projected to be the top blueliner in the 2016 Draft.
Although Juolevi has currently edged out his American-born counterpart, he admits that it was not something he focused on during the season, merely just happenstance.
"You can't think [of] the draft all the time," said Juolevi. "Of course, you know it's your draft year, but if you start thinking about it too much it's going to ruin your game. So do your best and work hard so whatever happens you're going to be happy with yourself because you worked hard."
As a result, the 2016 Draft looks to be the best year ever for Finland, a nation that won gold at both the World Junior Championship and World U-18s, and silver at the World Championship this year.
This year The Hockey News has listed eight Finns as top 100 prospects to be selected at this year's draft. In 2015, there was only one Finn listed — Mikko Rantanen — in the top 40 compared to the four that are listed this year.
But right now, Juolevi isn't concerned about his position or where his Finnish friends will end up. His focus is purely on the Memorial Cup.
"Every game is going to be a hard game but I think we're ready to win the whole thing."
