Sutton Place Physical Therapy In Midtown East Manhattan
At Sutton Place Physical Therapy we treat a broad range of injuries and conditions. The following an overview of some of the common areas of treatment. Please contact us to discuss how we can help get you moving again.
Back and Neck Pain
Have you been living with back or neck pain? These are common conditions; however that does not mean you have to live with this pain. Here at Sutton Place Physical Therapy we use a variety of treatment techniques to relieve your pain, improve your fitness, and prevent future injury. These include soft tissue massage, manual mobilizations, electric stimulation, and lumbar and core muscular stabilization programs. Your physical therapist will design a unique program specifically to fit your condition.
Before and After Surgery
When you're having surgery it is important to be at your maximum level of function prior to the procedure in order to have the best recovery possible. This is true for any surgery including total hip and knee replacements, spinal procedures, ankle and foot fusions, bunionectomies, surgically repaired fractures, ACL/MCL repairs, rotator cuff repairs, labral repairs, Achilles Tendon repairs, and many more procedures.
After surgery, physical therapy is vital to recovery. Your range of motion will be limited and your strength will diminish as a result of surgery. Sutton Place Physical Therapy will work with you to regain your function and achieve your personal goals.
Breast Cancer
After your surgery or breast cancer treatment, it can be common to experience limited shoulder and neck range of motion, weakness, and pain with arm movement. Sutton Place Physical Therapy's Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Program is designed to tackle these impairments, restore your mobility, and prevent long term negative effects. Treatments will include soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, neuromuscular re-education, and motor facilitation techniques. Research has shown that these treatments are very effective in decreasing your pain and restoring your mobility.
Concussions are complex injuries with prolonged and debilitating symptoms including migraines, cognitive changes, sleep disturbance, and neuropsychiatric disturbances. Because every case is unique, there is no set timeframe for recovery of symptoms: some people recover in days and others endure long-term effects.
If you or someone you know has suffered a concussion, you may experience difficulty balancing, symptoms of dizziness, or significant neck tension/headaches. Based on a thorough evaluation by one of our skilled physical therapists, we will be able to determine how to best address these limitations and help you safely return to a symptom free lifestyle.
Our Physical Therapists can help to gradually and safely reduce dizziness symptoms by stimulating the vestibular system: the balance center in the brain. The therapist will provide specialized exercises to improve your balance and regain stability. Neck injuries can cause headaches and can even increase certain forms of dizziness. Your therapist will assess your neck after a concussion to help reduce headache symptoms and tension with therapeutic soft tissue massage, joint mobilizations, and postural strengthening exercises.
It is important that you contact your healthcare professional in a timely manner following a concussion so that you may achieve the highest level of recovery possible. Do not hesitate to call Sutton Place Physical Therapy today!
If you have been recently diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia, a well-designed exercise program combining impact and non-impact movement is essential to preventing future injuries. These conditions put you at an increased risk for fractures. If you need Physical Therapy in Midtown Manhattan for Osteoporos, contact Sutton Place Physical Therapy. We will focus on maintaining your bone density, increasing the strength and endurance of your muscles.
Running Injuries
If you have a running injury, the team at Sutton place physical therapy in midtown Manhattan will get you back on your feet. We examine all aspects of your musculoskeletal health and fitness, therefore identifying areas of weakness and limitation which could have caused your initial injury. Injury prevention and endurance training are key aspects of our program to help you achieve your goals.
Sports and Recreational Injuries
Have you been pushing yourself in your favorite activity? If so, you may have developed some pain as a result. Tendintis, fractures, sprains, and strains are common injuries. At Sutton Place Physical Therapy, we utilize the most effective treatment approaches available to facilitate your recovery. We will work with you to get you back to doing what you love.
Have you been feeling dizzy lately? BPPV is a condition in which crystals within the ear become displaced and negatively affect the vestibular balance system. As a result, you feel episodes of dizziness when changing positions. Physical therapy is a very effective and non-invasive treatment for vertigo. Physical therapists will use specific maneuvers to alter the position of the crystals in your ear, restoring your vestibular system. Techniques to retrain your balance system will also be utilized. Sutton Place Physical Therapy specializes in this treatment.
Walking and Balance
Have you fallen recently? Or are you afraid of falling? If so, it is essential that you improve both your balance and confidence. Injuries resulting from falls can be devastating, and it is our goal at Sutton Place Physical Therapy in midtown manhattan is to prevent as many falls as possible. We will work one-on-one with you to improve your balance and walking, using various techniques to challenge your balance in new ways. We will improve your confidence to help you feel safe walking on the street and in your own home.
Work Place Injuries
If your job involves manual labor, desk work, or traveling, Sutton Place Physical Therapy can help you. Ergonomics, postural control, and equipment placement have a significant impact on preventing pain or injury.

~ It looks like an arrow slit that got glazed by mistake ~ has it a chamfered recess on the inside, Mike? ~

You may be right - can't remember it from the inside.

Hello Carl. Further to your question, I've examined some of the other photos that I took that day, and it looks as if the small narrow window does have a widely chamfered recess inside. It also looks as if the small window has been glazed at a rather later date. I would guess that the glazing was done in the fifteenth/sixteenth century, and the window was originally of the 'arrow slit' type. I do think it's a very attractive little window, though, and probably of twelfth/ 13th century origins.

Quite agree with you Mike, its simple structure and (much worn) decoration are a delight to the eye.

I think I belong in another time. On the sand.
California Coast. Dilapidated. Vacated long ago.
Built as early as the 1930's.
This is where I want to live.
I can not.
California Park Department owns the the whole lot.
These could be such beautiful and charming homes. What a shame.ReplyDelete
Hey Jess, You forgot all the beautiful renovated houses that can be rented through the park system for about $150 per night! The state is still working on getting funds to renovate the remaining beach houses. PS "Beaches" was filmed here!ReplyDelete
I've seen these properties! what in the world are the state department's intentions, I wonder...ReplyDelete
The parks are renovating them, as Karen said. You can rent the new ones out for as low as $30 a night for a bunk room. I just think the old ones are super charming, and needed to be photographed ! Thanks for your comments girls.ReplyDelete
Very lovely! Reminds me of the beach house in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.ReplyDelete

Money Means guides are brought to you by FSCS, the people who protect your money from £1 up to £85,000 in UK banks, building societies and credit unions. Find out more.
Sometimes it can be hard to make the pounds stretch from one payday to the next. It only takes one unexpected expense to throw a budget off track and leave you depending on credit cards or loans.
Here are some ways you can help yourself get through from payday to payday without letting your finances get out of control.
1.Set a daily budget
Work out what is left after bills and direct debits have been paid, like your mortgage, energy and phone bills, but also any other regular payments, such as Netflix or newspaper subscriptions, then divide this amount by the number of days until your next payday to create a daily budget. In reality, there will be some days when you can spend less than this budget, and some days when you need to spend more. Some of the new digital banks such as Loot and Starling can help you with budgeting as you can set a daily spending cap on your card and receive instant notifications on your smartphone when you have spent something.
2.Plan ahead
Write a list of all the things you expect you will need to pay for in the month over and above your usual spending. This will include things like birthday gifts, car services, haircuts, meals out.
3.Try to save an emergency fund
Property experts reckon homeowners need 1 per cent of their home value (£2,158 for a typical home) saved up each year for repair work and maintenance. You should also expect to shell out for the odd broken big ticket item in a year. Consistently saving up any surplus into an account purely for emergency spending will help you avoid having to take out finance or buy large items on credit.
4.Hunt for the cheapest petrol
Cars can be a significant outgoing. If you need to fill up, Petrolprices.com is a website that finds the cheapest fuel near your postcode. If you really don't have the cash for a full tank, would taking the bus, cycling or walking save you a bit of cash for a few days?
5.Sell stuff you don't want
If you are half way through the month and things are looking bleak, consider whether there is anything you can sell on eBay or Gumtree. eBay reckons the average household has £4,000 worth of unwanted good lying around. This has the added bonus of decluttering your home!
6.Have a "store cupboard and freezer week"
The Love Food, Hate Waste campaign reckons the average household can save £60 a month through better management of food waste. With a few carefully chosen fresh fruit and vegetables items (bought individually rather than in a pack) and a store cupboard of rice, pasta, flour, dried herbs and flavourings, you'd be amazed at what you can rustle up – and the amount you can save on a weekly shop by avoiding fresh, ready-made packaged food.
7.Have you overpaid on your energy bills?
Millions of people pay a fixed monthly amount for their gas and electricity. Often, this can result in a surplus of hundreds of pounds over a year. Check your last statement to see if you are in credit and if you are, contact your supplier to ask for some of this money back.
8.Alter payment dates
If you regularly end up in your overdraft, paying hefty interest charges at the end of each month, it might be a good idea to shift some of your biggest direct debits to the end of the month (just before your next payday) rather than the beginning (just after your payday). That's because this will mean your account is better funded throughout the month, reducing any interest charges you will have to pay as well as the risk of incurring any unauthorised overdraft fees. The danger with this approach is that if you overspend during the month, you won't have enough left to cover your big bills, such as your mortgage, by the end. Careful budgeting is important if you try this method of managing your interest and charges.
9.Get the best deals for credit and borrowing
Finally, if you are out of options on the budgeting, spending and saving and have no choice but to resort to credit cards or other borrowing, ensure you are on the lowest rate deal, 0% if possible. If using your credit card for spending, make sure the 0% deal applies to purchases or if transferring to your current account, it should apply to money transfers. Make sure you note down the end date of any 0% deal period, when the rate will revert to a much higher APR and start costing you significantly.
Don't let unexpected expenses throw your budget off track. Here are nine smart money tips to help you get from one payday to the next

City Highlights - Japan
Tokyo is Japan's capital and the country's largest city.
Tokyo is also one of Japan's 47 prefectures, but is called a metropolis (to) rather than a prefecture (ken). The metropolis of Tokyo consists of 23 city wards (ku), 26 cities, 5 towns and 8 villages, including the Izu and Ogasawara Islands, several small Pacific Islands in the south of Japan's main island Honshu.
The 23 city wards (ku) are the center of Tokyo and make up about one third of the metropolis' area, while housing roughly eight of Tokyo's approximately twelve million residents.
Prior to 1868, Tokyo was known as Edo. A small castle town in the 16th century, Edo became Japan's political center in 1603 when Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there. A few decades later, Edo had grown into one of the world's most populous cities.

The Star yesterday made a big issue out of houseman (Houseman glut). Too many houseman, they say.
It is somewhat true. In my ward, there can be as little as 13 patients and as many as 18 houseman in charge of the ward! Lucky some have to go to clinic, OT, doing census etc. How can we learn if we are in charge of only 1 patient? Even in Sabah and Sarawak they already complained about a lot of Houseman.
And I could not assist as many appendectomies as I hoped for. I assisted more open AAA cases than appendectomies, seriously! The only good thing to do is to be a tagger or on call. Only that way, two houseman will be in charge of the ward and forced to learn a lot.
One of my specialist said "When I was a houseman, I was one of the slow and blur ones. What I did was going back home late, and even after I went home, I came back to the hospital to learn the patients. If you have enough sleep, eating enough, a lot of time for yourselves, you're not a good houseman."
And one of the Jonah MO said "5 years ago, I did EOD oncalls for four months during my housemanship. And they were only two houseman in charge of each ward. So a houseman can either be oncall or post-call. Imagine doing that for four months, only 3 weeks before finishing my surgery posting I got another tagger. And I had to be extended just to teach the tagger. I brought discharge summaries home to finish them. When I reached the apartment, I realized that my bread and planta turned black"
Seriously, I don't know how they did it. This weekend, I managed to enjoy two movies in cinema, attended wedding of a high school friend, doing some heavy shopping and spent time with my family. Err….
Let's be hardworking doctors, shall we?

The Wappoo Cut Bridge
We are indeed lucky in my adopted home town of Charleston, South Carolina.
We have a local newspaper that is sympathetic to the needs of cyclists.
An example is this week when the Post & Courier reported the death of a bicycle rider, and used the incident to draw attention to the plight of local cyclists.
The unfortunate man fell while avoiding construction obstacles and was struck by a passing car. The driver was not charged and no police report of the incident is forthcoming.
I am speculating that the usual situation exists where one man is dead, and the only other witness is the person who hit him.
The reason drivers are expected to pass a cyclist giving ample room, is because of the possibility the cyclist may swerve or fall because of obstructions in the road.
Common sense dictates if there is a combination of road construction and a cyclist, drivers exercise even more caution.
Much of the South Carolina coastline is made up of a series of islands, separated by a maze of inland waterways, and of course bridges connect them all. This limits the number of routes you can take to get from one place to the next.
The old City of Charleston is a peninsula, with the Cooper and Wando Rivers merging to the North East, and the Ashley River to the South West.
South West of the Ashley River, are the Stono River and the Wappoo Creek. (Actually a good size river, in spite of its name.) These rivers separate James Island and John's Island, both favorite riding areas for local cyclists.
To get to James Island you cross the Wappoo Cut bridge on Folly Road. (Picture above.) This is where the cyclist was killed. It is a drawbridge, and the road surface of the part that opens is a steel grid, extremely treacherous to ride on with skinny road tires.
It is quite wide, three lanes one way and two the other. I rode over this bridge one Sunday morning when traffic was very light. I rode in the center of the inside lane, leaving two other lanes for people to pass. One driver didn't like this arrangement and skimmed by missing me by inches.
Another time it was raining and I opted to dismount and walk my bike over. The sidewalk is barely 18 inches wide, hardly enough room to walk and wheel a bike.
The only other option over the Wappoo Creek is the James Island Express Way. (Pictured above.) It is essentially a freeway, although bikes are allowed and I have ridden it, it is not for the faint hearted.
Sometime in the far distant future this Expressway will connect with the 526 Freeway to the North, and I suspect when that happens, bikes will not be allowed.
So the Wappo Cut Bridge is it for now; it could be made safer by making it four traffic lanes (Two each way.) instead of the current five lanes. This would make room for a good width bike lane in each direction.
Put a speed limit on the bridge, enforced with cameras. There are a series of traffic lights in both directions, on either side of this bridge; a speed limit would not slow the flow of traffic. Why race over the bridge to then sit at the next red light?
Another great alternative that would not cost a great deal of money would be to pave the West Ashley Greenway; I wrote about it here.
This bike path that is already paved part way, starts less than a mile from the Wappoo Bridge, and runs ten and a half miles south to exit near the Stono River Bridge. This bridge goes over to John's Island and many quiet rural roads that are favorites with Charleston area cyclists.

Teaching character traits to upper elementary students can be a complex task. It's more than just reading a fictional story and labeling characters with certain traits. Students must analyze how characters change over time, compare different characters and their traits, use evidence from the text to identify certain character traits, build their character trait vocabulary, and more.
The resources below offer a variety of different activities to help you when teaching character traits to upper elementary students. Use them to differentiate your character trait instruction, plan engaging lessons, and save time.
More character trait activities will be added over time, so come back often to check!
The character trait links above provide free ideas, activities, and printables you can use when teaching character traits to your elementary students. The activities included will work best for 3rd grade and 4th grade, although many of the activities could be adapted to reach younger or older students.
The activities above address the following Common Core Standards:
Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events.
Describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., a character's thoughts, words, or actions).
All of the links above provide free ideas for teaching character trait activities into your classroom. If you like the activities but don't want all of the prep, you might be interested in my CHARACTER TRAITS BUNDLE. It includes task cards, no prep activities, cut and paste activities, reading passages, and more.

Fair warning - I only took really poor quality cell phone pictures of this before and after. It was such a simple update but it might be one of my favorite make overs yet.
I got this beauty off Craigslist but the top had a substantial amount of water damage. Ignore the junk on top. It sat in the garage for month and accumulated stuff.
She's a beauty, right?!

The first time I saw Chatime was in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. I have passed by the said branch several times and have never even walked in once! I was not really drawn to it as I preferred the cute milk tea and cafe places, which were often painted with soft pastel colors and decorated with floral designs, and sometimes were of an over-the-top style. However, when I visited the Valero branch which already had its Christmas decorations, I did appreciate the simplicity and sophistication of its interiors. With its black, white and grey furniture, I found the place to be straight forward, professional, and clean. It was also rather spacious, and the booths seemed well-suited for small group meetings while the tables offered a nice spot for some solo time with your laptop. Fair warning, after lunch the place begins to get busy, and the counter could get a little crowded at times.
Looking around, I got rather curious about their kitchen, where one could actually see how the tea is prepared. Chatime makes it a point to communicate the freshness of their tea to their customers with their usage of fully automatic tea brewers. This means that their tea is always freshly prepared from tea leaves, as opposed to the commonly used powder and blender method. With brewed tea, you get to enjoy not only the pureness of flavor but more importantly, the stress-relieving antioxidants of the leaves. Needless to say, freshly-brewed tea is the healthier approach to milk tea!
There were just so many flavors to choose from! Good thing I had a special treat that day. I was going to try out Chatime's Christmas series which had flavors of chocolate, caramel, and custard.
Like most of the brands, Chatime allows you to customize your drink. You get to tweak the ice options: from non-ice to extra ice and everything else in between. The same goes for their sugar options. And of course, they offer a variety of toppings: pearl, grass jelly, pudding, coconut jelly, rainbow jelly, red bean, and aloe vera.
What sets Chatime apart from the other milk tea brands is their wide selection of food choices. You could have your drinks with their eats: cheese burger, chicken chops, fries, chicken chops sandwich, and squid balls.
My favorites were the fries, squid balls, and chicken chops. The fries come in barbecue and cheese flavors. They were of a thicker cut compared to regular fries. The flavor stuck to the fries, making them really good to munch on. The squid balls were as tasty and almost as filling as the fries. While these are supposed to be light snacks, having them with milk tea leaves you feeling satisfied and full.
If you want something heavier, you could order the annatto rice pilaf together with the chicken chops, which was what I had for lunch. The rice was heavily scented with spices, almost like Indian food. I even thought it would taste like curry. The spices gave a subtle flavor though, and it was in perfect combination with the chicken chops.
Chatime is also tied up with The French Baker so you have a selection of breads and pastries to go with your milk tea.
Bistro Box is a recent addition to their menu. This includes both treats and meals, which you could pick up and heat up yourself. They have sushi, pizza, pasta, and rice meals. With Bistro Box you get fresh and warm food alongside your freshly-prepared beverages. In addition to providing a full assortment of drinks, Chatime is your one-stop shop for snacks and meals. This sets Chatime apart from all the other milk tea brands.

On the 26th of September my boyfriends Niece, Asha, turned One! I cannot believe she is already a year old. She is the most beautiful and sweet little girl and I'm not just be a biased "sort of auntie." Check out this gorgeous photo taken of her at her party!
As it was her birthday I also had to make her a beautiful birthday card. I used a set that is retired (Sorry guys) called "Favourite Teddy Bear" but it was the most appropriate set for the card. I love this set so much and was bummed when it retired! He (the bear) is sooo cute and I've nicknamed him Boris!
I stamped Boris in Timber Brown Stazon onto watercolouring paper and then watercoloured him in Close to cocoa and Chocolate Chip Inks to get all the shading! I added a party hat to him and watercoloured it in lavendar lace. The rest of the card was done in Pretty in Pink and Lavendar lace as these were the colours of the balloons they had chosen for the party.
On the inside of the card I took a Very Vanilla Love Note envelope. Jazzed it up with punches and bling and stuck it to the inside of the card. I put some money in the envelope to be added to her bank account which was opened for her a few days after she was born. Unfortunatly in the heat my Basic Black journaler went psycho and wouldn't work so I had to write with the thick side of the marker. It isn't as neat and perfect as I would usually write for that reason!
How sweet does it look??
During the party Mum and Dad had a cake for her. They decided after blowing the candles out they would let her loose on the cake. She ended up with icing all over herself including in her hair. I have heaps of photos of her looking like a very cute grub and it was hard to chose one. The photo I have chosen was her whilst eating cake and dancing along to the song her dad made up for her. Isn't she sooo cute?
I can't wait to get these printed and scrapbook them!!
Thanks for looking! Have a great day

The Big Screen Alternative: A case for taking your event to the movies
If you plan it, they will come. This may have been true in the past, but in the age of live-streaming and virtual meetings it takes more than a room and decent coffee to draw an audience.
"Time is more valuable than ever before, especially among younger professionals. When you think about all the online webinars and interactive media that they'd rather use to save time and the hassle of travel, it can take a lot to convince them to leave the office," says Darlene Stewart, Executive Director of Groups and Events with Cineplex, adding, "Today, if you want people to come out to an event, there has to be a compelling reason why, and it has to make an impact."
Choosing the right venue is key to making that "splash", she continues, especially if that venue promises a unique change of scenery and a "can't miss" experience: "Don't under-estimate the power of curiosity and the fear of missing out. If you can promise attendees something 'new' or different from the countless work functions they're been to before, they'll be a lot more incentivized to come out and convince others to do the same."
It's June, 2017 and Philip Leger, Assistant Vice President of Mortgage Development for National Bank of Canada, has a challenge on his hands.In the fall he's planning to host a half day kick-off event for his sales force, to announce strategies for the new fiscal year.The event needs to include 130 employees scattered throughout Ontario and Western Canada.The kick-off was nothing new as Philip had organized the event on four previous occasions.But this time, he wanted something different.
The Pitch
How do you appeal to attendees who have seen it all before? For Stewart and the cast at Cineplex, the solution is to turn an iconic social hub and cater it towards corporate audiences.
"Theatres are a natural gathering place," says Stewart. "People already know where we are and the kind of experience we provide, so it's not about changing consumer behaviour but simply gathering them at a familiar place for a different reason" which creates a sense of excitement about the event.
It helps that theatres are built for group experiences. Modern movie houses are designed to accommodate large audiences, facilitate attention-grabbing presentations, and provide ample room for networking. As well, the theatre rooms themselves are purpose-built to draw attention to the big screen.
"You have comfortable seating, clear sight lines, and a very large presentation area. Combined with cutting-edge audio and visual equipment, it's really an ideal setting for getting your message across," notes Stewart.
Theatres can be seen as a non-traditional choice for meeting planners. Organizations that have given them a try, however, have become champions for the concept. That includes Twirp Communications, which recently held its Social Media Day at Cineplex's Scotiabank Halifax to take advantage of both its big screen presentation areas and the ability to incorporate online broadcasting with their partners at Atlantic Live Streaming.
"Having the big theatre screens was amazing. There was no question everyone could see and read the slides from presenters, and with theatre quality sound, we didn't need to worry about being heard," says Anita Kirkbride, Head "Twirp" with Twirp Communications. "It was also great having three rooms side by side which you can't always get in other venues. That made it easy and quick for attendees to travel between sessions, minimize time delays, and keep the agenda moving."
SocialWest Founder Mike Morrison also recalls finding Calgary, Alberta's Cineplex Eau Claire an ideal fit for his company's 2018 event, noting, "We had speakers presenting on social media and digital marketing strategies, so their presentations have to look good. When we were looking for venues, we thought where would it look better than on a giant movie screen."
With plans to bring SocialWest back to Eau Claire theatre in 2019, he adds, "Everyone loves going to the movies, so to bring a conference to a movie theatre I think was a lot of fun."
Thumbs Up
Convincing potential guests to leave the comfort of their home or office can be a tough sell. With a unique vision and a venue to match, it's possible to not only draw crowds but garner rave reviews.
Imagine your Meetings at Cineplex.com/MeetingsPlus.
"Holding our event in a theatre gave us access to a unique and easily accesible venue, and audio-visual that helped put our presentations over the top."

In my last entry I whined a bit about my Comic Con disappointments. Well, action figure disappointments. That's out of the way now. This go round I want to focus on the good, the things that got me giddy as a school kid.
Mattel – my goodness. I've been disappointed with Mattel for a good couple years now ever since they discontinued the Infinite Heroes line. I thought Young Justice would replace it in my collector's heart, but the plugged got pulled on that pretty quick. But here comes Comic Con 2013 and Mattel comes out of the blue with the announcement of the 4″ DC Multiverse line! Now, I've been reading a lot of complaining and grousing about this line on the various boards. I know. I know. Complaining on a message board? There's a shock. Not. Anyway, some are complaing about the lack of comic book focus in the line. But, since I'd been hoping for 4″ Arkham Asylum/City/Origins figures ever since DC Collectibles started their 3-3/4″ Injustice line. So, I'm looking forward to that Arkham-inspired first wave. And Wave 2? Keaton Batman? Yes, please! Now, how about a 4″ Christopher Reeve Superman? I do hope that Wave 3 is comic book based. I do wish that the waves weren't themed, however. I think each wave should be a mix of games, movies and comic based figures.
So, I'm looking forward to New York Comic Con and more details about the line. Very cool. And the figures look pretty great from images I've seen. Thanks Mattel!
Also from Mattel I saw they are putting more characters from the DC Universe in the 3-3/4″ Batman line. I dig this line from what little I've been able to get from it. But, I'm looking forward to adding Superman, Green Arrow and more to my little collection. That was a nice surprise.
The Four Horsemen showed a bit more of their upcoming Power Lords line and, as expected, they look stinkin' fantastic! I'm so excited for this line. Between Power Lords and Outer Space Men the folks at Four Horsemen Toy Design are producing some of my favorite action figure lines. Keep 'em coming! The Ravens look fantastic, but they're just not in my preferred scale and I can't really afford 'em. But, I'm thrilled at how well the Kickstarter is going for them!
DC Collectibles is making some super cool new figures based on Greg Capullo's art from Batman. I'll definitely get Batman himself as I've got a nice collection of DC Direct/DC Collectbles artist-specific Batman figures.
I'm digging the Six Million Dollar Man and Battlestar Galactica (classic!) products coming out of Bif Bang Pow! I just wish I had the money to actually get some of them! Even though they're not 3-3/4″, I really dig their Mego-esque figures. BBP's non-figure products are always super-cool as well. I really hope to pick up the Six Million Dollar Man 'lunchbox' exclusive. So cool. Six Million Dollar Man was pretty much my favorite show growing up.
Mezco is feeding a growing obsession with their upcoming 4″ Axe Cop figures. The comic is pretty much hilarious, and I'm looking forward to the animated show on Fox. The figures are must haves for me.
NECA is just going from strength to strength lately. While I don't get a lot of their stuff due to scale and my very limited funds, I certainly appreciate their work. I'd like to pick up the Pacific Rim figures, and I'm really looking forward to the Lone Ranger 3-3/4″ figures (personally, I really dug the movie). Hmmm. I don't recall seeing an extensions to the 3-3/4″ Gears of War line. We really need some Locusts in that line.
The upcoming figures Bridge Direct is releasing for The Hobbit looks fantastic. It's really a shame this line is not doing so well at retail. They're beautiful figures and Bridge deserves to be rewarded for their fantastic work on the line. Plus, if the line sold better maybe we'd actually get some 3-3/4″ Lord of the Rings figures. But, what they showed at the Con looked great.
I'm going to have to break my (almost) no-6″ rule and pick up some of the Star Wars Black figures. I at least want the core cast…and Greedo. And Boba Fett. I think Han looks pretty cool. Not much in the 3-3/4″ Black series is interesting me at this point. Too many Prequel figures. I'm hoping we get a nice Chewbacca soon, 'though.
I'm excited that Hyperion is coming to the Marvel Universe line (or is it The Avengers line?). I dug the Squadron Supreme back in the day. He'll be a nice addition to the collection.
Some pretty nice stuff came out of Comic Con. Now, it just needs to make it to retail so I can buy it.

Nice recap. Although, I'm surprised you didn't mention Super7's Alien ReAction figures, which were on pre-order with a free Early Bird Kit at the con. These are the best/most fun figures I've seen in years!
Any word on what the poll results were fo the new Mattel wave, and the fan's choice figure?
It was Batman Beyond
another nice recap have to admit after mattel decided to do their dc mulitpliciticy line i was thinking great no more money spent from them till they revealed that their 3- 3/4 batman line will become more then just bat universe other dc characters. plus also love that bif bang pow went and decided to resurect the six million dollar man as toys again. and also bridge direct should get props for daring to do toilkeins work even just the hobbit though surprised to find no talk of super seven making the alien figures that never saw the light of day.
My highlight was seeing Ice of the Justice League International shown for Mattel's DC subscription.

Queen records Christmas message in 3D format
The Queen has recorded her Christmas Day broadcast to the UK and Commonwealth in 3D for the first time, Buckingham Palace has said.
Her use of the technology comes 80 years after George V first broadcast a Christmas speech on the radio and started the December 25 tradition.
A spokesman said the Queen has watched the 3D message, produced by Sky News, and thought it "absolutely lovely".
The broadcast at 1500 GMT will also be shown in standard and high definition.
The theme of this year's broadcast is not known but it is thought likely to feature footage from the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, as well as the London Olympic Games.
The Christmas Day address is written by the Queen and usually follows a strong religious framework, reflecting current issues and her own experiences of the past 12 months.
It is one of the rare occasions when she does not seek advice from the government and voices her own views.
Last year the Queen spoke of courage and hope in adversity. She noted the resilience of communities in New Zealand after earthquakes, Australia after flooding and Wales after a mining disaster.
Embracing technology
A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said: "We wanted to do something a bit different and special in this Jubilee year, so doing it for the first time in 3D seemed a good thing, technology wise, to do.
"The Queen absolutely agreed straight away there was no need for convincing at all, she was absolutely ready to embrace something new in this year."
The text of last year's broadcast was made available as an e-book download and on Facebook.
In 1918 the Monarchy used lithography to reproduce a letter from George V which was then distributed to returning prisoners of war after World War I.
In 1932 King George V made the Royal's first Christmas broadcast via radio. Five years later the Coronation of George VI became the first televised outside broadcast.
The first televised Christmas broadcast was made live by the Queen in 1957. Nearly half a century later, in 2006, the speech was podcast for the first time. Then in 2007 it was shown live on YouTube via a dedicated Royal Channel.
Viewers need special glasses and a dedicated television set to watch 3D broadcasts.
While the format has not taken off as widely as manufacturers initially forecast, there are dedicated satellite and cable channels and the BBC broadcast events from the Olympics and Wimbledon in 3D.

Dazzling the Eye With Images By Cornwall Artists
Art: Cornwall Bohemia
Cornwall Bohemia is an amazing art show that reminds you that nothing in Kent has been the same since James Barron opened his eponymous gallery last August. Barron, long an art dealer and private art consultant, is ferociously knowledgeable and self-assured. Since moving to Kent from Rome, Italy, where he and his wife, the talented and widely admired photographer, Jeannette Montgomery Barron, lived for 10 years, he has brought his imagination and whirlwind energy to enlivening an already respectable art scene.
In June, Barron showed revelatory pictures and drawings by Sol LeWitt, the great conceptual and minimalist artist who came to fame in the late 1960s and was enormously influential. Barron, long a believer in LeWitt's importance and a collector of the artist's work, exhibited pictures and sculptures from his own collection, as well as a few loan pieces. (A large conceptual piece of LeWitt's famous diagonal stripes was installed/painted directly on one of the gallery's walls, where it remains.)
Now Barron has been intrigued by the strength and depth of Cornwall's artistic community. The town, known for its ecological concerns and purity, has been the country home for artists and writers out of all proportion to its small size. Barron has reached into that community and brought together a small group of superb artists, many nationally renowned, in a show that dazzles the eye.
There are two enormous, vividly colored photographs from Todd Eberle. One is from his "Cosmos" series, composite images made from pictures sent from the Hubble Telescope, the other is of flowers, some dying, from the garden Eberle's partner, Richard Pandisco, has made in Cornwall. The images are kaleidoscopic, vibrating with intensity the longer you look at them.
Philip Taaffe, who first became prominent in the 1980s, has kept reinventing himself as an artist. He is showing two exciting pictures. "Pleiadum" from 2004 has nine pink creatures — they look like large puckered lips — floating on a medium-blue background. "Strata Nefrodium" from 2014 is a mixed media riff on fern leaves, beautifully realized and surprisingly erotic.
A staged 1979 photograph from the famous Laurie Simmons is quiet, very small and typical of her storytelling style. Several paintings are from her husband, Carroll Dunham, a hotshot of the 1980s and currently in the new Whitney Museum's retrospective of art from its collection. Barron has chosen a number of pieces from Duncan Hannah, also a New York City hotshot of the1980s, who delves into nostalgia without sentimentality, that include collages based on writing and words, and two purposely flat oils that focus on a Citroen in front of impersonal modern buildings.
Barron has selected two paintings from Judith Belzer's "Canal Zone" series, full of motion rendered in a loose, fluid style that draws your eye into the active scenes. And Brendan O'Connell, who has made his reputation and success painting Walmart store interiors — one of his pictures hangs behind the Wal-Mart headquarters reception desk in Arkansas — is represented by two acrylics. One is a vibrant enlargement of Lego pieces against the Lego logo, while the other shows a single row of Life cereal boxes from a store display. O'Connell's wry irony fills the pictures with wit and whimsey.
Cornwall Bohemia runs at James Barron art in Kent, CT, through Aug. 2. The gallery, which is located at 4 Old Barn Road, is open Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. And by appointment. Call 917-270-8044 or go to jamesbarronart.com.

South Mountain witnessed much activity during the American Civil War, most famously the Battles of South Mountain in September 1862. During the 1863 Pennsylvania Campaign the majority of SouthMountain in Maryland and Pennsylvania, saw much activity including the Battle of Monterey Pass, situated along the Mason Dixon Line. In July of 1864, South Mountain would again see major activity during Confederate Lieutenant General Jubal Early's Maryland Campaign.
On July 3, many citizens living in the Cumberland Valley heard cannon fire in the direction of West Virginia, and began to flee, crossing South Mountain in the wake of another Maryland Invasion. It was rumored by many refugees that Lt. Gen. Early was leading an army toward Shepherdstown, and would ford the Potomac River there into Maryland. As many refugees flocked east of South Mountain, Middletown residents doubted that another invasion was even going to take place.
Headquartered in Baltimore, Union Major General Lew Wallace heard the same rumors about a massive troop movement moving up the Shenandoah Valley, that could threaten Maryland or Washington. He had also received reports about Lt. Gen. Early's movements from the officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Major General Wallace thought to himself about the consequences of this campaign. If Washington was the Confederate target, they could capture the defenseless city, as most of those troops were sent to Union General U. S. Grant. If the city was lost, the Confederates would capture the Quartermaster Depot, Naval Yard, and the U.S. Treasury. This would be a major blow to the Union.
The Confederate army began to ford the Potomac River on July 5. By July 7, they were fully concentrated at Sharpsburg, where in September 1862, many of these men fought in the battle of Antietam. Major General Wallace boarded a train at Baltimore and made his way to Frederick. From there he began assessing his situation and weighing his options. Union cavalry stationed in Frederick also went out to assess the situation. There, at Turner's Gap, upon SouthMountain, a detachment of the 8th Illinois Cavalry skirmished with Brigadier General Bradley Johnson's Cavalry Brigade. This was no contest for the Confederate cavalry, and they pushed ahead toward Middletown when two cannon were fired by Alexander's Baltimore Artillery, supported by the 8th Illinois Cavalry. Brigadier General Johnson and his cavalry would skirmish toward Braddock's Gap upon the CatoctinMountain.
During the day, Lt. Gen. Early ordered his army to SouthMountain, skirmishing at several points along the way with Union Major General Franz Sigel's force. Confederate Major General John C. Breckenridge marched into Rohrersville, where he was supplied with new shoes for his soldiers, and encamped for the night. A few miles to the south, Major General Robert Rodes' Division skirmished with Union cavalry, but by nightfalll the Confederates were bivouacked near Crampton's Gap. Lieutenant General Jubal Early, along with Major General Stephen Raseur's Division were near Boonsboro.
Acting on orders, Mr. Flechter scouted the movements of the Confederate army. Reporting back to Major Burt about the activity near Boonsboro, Mr. Flecther recalled, "Discovered a large number scattered all over the country, gathering horses, with scouts in mountain for the same purpose, preventing my going any farther, and have gathered in a large number of horses from the Maryland farmers." Major Burt sent that information to Major General Darius Couch in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.
On July 8, Early's army began marching toward Middletown. The Confederate army marched over SouthMountain at three different mountain gaps. Using the National Road through Turner's Gap was Lt. Gen. Early and Maj. Gen. Ramseur's Division. Also, the wagon train that followed the Confederate army used that same route. About a mile to the south was Fox's Gap, situated on the Old Sharpsburg Road. Following this route was the Army of South Western Virginia under the command of Major General John C. Breckenridge. About seven miles south of that point was Crampton's Gap. This is the route Major General Rodes' Division would use.
Since the Old Sharpsburg Road and the National Road both led to Middletown, this would be the concentration point by evening for both Early and Breckenridge. Major General Rodes would continue his march to the town of Jefferson. The only natural barrier that separated the Confederate army from Frederick was the Catoctin Mountain.
As the Confederate troops moved over SouthMountain, the Union cavalry skirmished with the Confederate rear guard. By the end of the day, Crampton's Gap was being used to hold Confederate prisoners that were captured by the Union cavalry.
As the sun rose on July 9, the Battle of Monocacy would erupt. While, Lt. Gen. Early was there fighting, he maintained a chain of pickets that covered many of the mountain gaps situated upon SouthMountain. Federal scouts entered Wolfsville, where they stated that fifty Confederate infantrymen were on picket duty, and that they were part of a chain of pickets that stretched across South Mountain from there to Boonsboro. It was also reported that several Confederate troops were fortifying the battlefield of South Mountain.
On July 10, it was reported that Confederate cavalry were foraging SouthMountain from MontereyPass to Frederick, stealing horses, and creating much alarm. During the day, Major John Burt wrote to Major General Couch, who was at Chambersburg, that about 3,000 cavalrymen under General Bradley Johnson were in Lewistown and Creagerstown, with another 7,000 cavalrymen at Smoketown. He also confirmed that the Confederate troops were fortifying South Mountain, and that General Imboden, with about 1,500 men, came down the west side of South Mountain, sending a small detail of men into Smithsburg, eight miles from Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.
Captain Maxwell Woodhull, who was serving as Acting Assistant Adjutant-General wrote a dispatch to Union Lieutenant Colonel Lawrence that Brigadier General William Morris wanted a cavalry to scout the area near SouthMountain at BlackRockBridge. Reports were of Confederate cavalry and a section of artillery moving along the Westminster and Baltimore Pike, from Boonsboro. The Westminster and Baltimore Pike was a roadway that led from Hagerstown, over SouthMountain at Wolf's Tavern, and at the CatoctinMountain to Emmitsburg, and continued to Westminster.
This ended the actions on South Mountain during Lieutenant General Jubal Early's Raid on Washington. This campaign is a fascinating one. Although, the majority of the Confederate army marches toward Frederick and fights a battle along the banks of the Monocacy, one can see how far the effects of the campaign reached. Troop movements, picket lines, and smaller raid parties had a far reaching effect on the communities on and around South Mountain.

From the DNR
With Minnesota's small game hunting season underway and the firearm deer season set to begin Nov. 9, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) says making a blaze orange fashion statement this fall might not get you on the best-dressed list, but it just might save your life.
"Wearing blaze orange clothing is a safety requirement to hunt or trap during Minnesota's small game season or deer season," said Capt. Mike Hammer, DNR enforcement education program coordinator. "It's important to be seen by others."
Small Game Seasons: At least one visible article of clothing above the waist must be blaze orange when taking small game, except when hunting wild turkeys, migratory birds, raccoons, predators, when hunting by falconry, trapping or while hunting deer by archery while stationary.
Deer Season: The visible portion of a cap and outer clothing above the waist, excluding sleeves and gloves, must be blaze orange when hunting or trapping during any open season where deer may be taken by firearms (including special hunts, early antlerless, youth seasons and muzzleloader). Blaze orange includes a camouflage pattern of at least 50 percent blaze orange within each square foot. This restriction does not apply to migratory bird hunters on waters or in stationary shooting locations or to trappers on waters.
"The failure to wear to wear blaze orange puts a hunter in jeopardy of not being seen by someone who does not take the time to properly identify their target and what's beyond it," Hammer said.
Hammer recommends faded blaze orange garments be replaced.
"Blaze orange, more than any other color, is the most easily seen and recognized bright, unnatural color against a natural background," Hammer said. "This shade of orange is the only satisfactory color for hunters to wear under all weather and light conditions. The color of the cap, vest, or coat should be plainly visible from all sides while it is being worn."
From the standpoint of hunter safety, the wearing of this high-visibility color while deer hunting and while small game hunting in heavy cover, such as for grouse and pheasant, is a great communications tool.
"Blaze orange clothing is a tremendous aid in helping hunters maintain visual contact with one another, particularly when moving through dense cover or woods," Hammer said. "Any hunter who has ever identified someone strictly by seeing blaze orange knows its value in keeping track of other hunters in the field."
For those that use ground blinds, Hammer said to remember to place some blaze orange on the outside of the blind for others to see. Tent style blinds can fully conceal even the best dressed hunter.
Some safety tips for nonhunters:
• Wear bright clothing. Choose colors that stand out, like red, orange or green, and avoid white, blacks, browns, earth-toned greens and animal-colored clothing. Blaze orange vests and hats are advisable.
• Don't forget to protect pets. Get an orange vest for an accompanying dog.
• Make noise. Whistle, sing or carry on a conversation when walking to alert hunters that someone is in the area. Sound carries well across woods and forests, and hunters should listen for any sounds of animal movement.
• Be courteous. Don't make unnecessary noise to disturb wildlife. Avoid confrontations.
• Make presence known. If a nonhunter hears shooting, the person should raise their voice and let hunters know they're in vicinity.
• Know the dates of hunting seasons. Learn about where and when hunting is taking place.
• If hunting makes a nonhunter uneasy, the nonhunter should choose a hike in a location where hunting is not allowed.
Avoid deer-vehicle crashes while driving this fall From the DNR
Nearly one-third of car-deer collisions each year occur between now and November, said the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), citing a national report.
Minnesota is ranked eighth when it comes to car-deer crash totals, according to State Farm Insurance, which tracks the trends nationwide. Most states, the company reports, are seeing a decline in their numbers. There are two exceptions: Wyoming and Minnesota.
Though most people would expect these crashes to be more likely in rural areas, motorists in urban regions of the state also need to watch out for these dangerous and sometimes deadly accidents involving deer. Minnesota has 3 million drivers and 136,000 miles of roadway.
More than 20,000 deer-vehicle accidents are reported annually, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
While trying to predict when and where a deer and motorist will meet is an impossible task, drivers who understand how deer behave are more likely to avoid a crash. The DNR advises motorists to use these driving tips to help avoid collisions with deer:
• See the signs. Deer-crossing signs are posted in high-risk areas. Drive with caution, especially in the posted areas.
• Deer don't roam alone. Deer often run together. If one deer is near or crossing the road, expect that others will follow.
• Danger from dusk to dawn. Watch for deer especially at dawn and after sunset. About 20 percent of these crashes occur in early morning, while more than half occur between 5 p.m. and midnight.
• Safety begins behind the wheel. Always wear safety belts and drive at safe, sensible speeds for road conditions.
If a vehicle strikes a deer, motorists should report the crash by calling local law enforcement, the sheriff's department, or the Minnesota State Patrol. By following these tips and maximizing one's situational awareness, it becomes less likely to experience a deer-vehicle crash.

MN hunters fuel local economies with $725 million in spending From the DNR
When thousands of pheasant hunters wade into cattails and grasslands for the Minnesota pheasant opener this past Saturday, they will be contributing to the economic health of the state's economy.
More than a half-million Minnesotans and nonresidents hunt in Minnesota each year.
Collectively they spend an estimated $725 million per year, according to the 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation.
"Minnesota ranks ninth in the nation for resident hunter numbers," said C.B. Bylander, outreach chief for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' Fish and Wildlife Division. "This strong tradition of hunting has long helped fuel local economies throughout the farmland and forested portions of the state."
According the 2011 national survey direct expenditures by hunters in Minnesota include:
• $400 million on equipment such as guns, ammunition and special clothes.
• $235 million on trip related expenses such as food, lodging and transportation.
• $90 million on other expenses such as land leasing, hunting land ownership, magazines, etc.
Bylander said the average amount spent per hunter in 2011 was $1,412, up from $889 in 2006 when the previous survey was taken.
Direct retail sales related to upland bird hunting totaled about $121 million.
When combined with angling, Minnesota hunters and anglers support nearly 48,000 Minnesota jobs.
Bylander said about 84,000 people hunted pheasants in Minnesota last year.
Gear up for pheasant hunting By Scott Roemhildt, of the DNR
Pheasant hunting doesn't require a lot of specialized or expensive equipment, but there are some basic items that will make your time in the field more enjoyable and productive.
License/Hunting Regulations Handbook. The trail to good hunting starts with a license. You can get handbooks and licenses at any of the more than 1,500 DNR electronic license vendors or online at www.mndnr.gov.
(http://licenses.dnr.state.mn.us/). Hunting licenses are also available by mobile application or by dialing 888-665-4236.
Maps. Scouting an area will increase your odds of finding pheasants and good maps will help your efforts. Go to www.mndnr.gov (www.mndnr.gov/wmas/index.html) for free online, interactive maps that identify wildlife management areas and Walk-In Access areas. Combined, these programs provide 1.3 million acres of public hunting on 1,550 parcels.
A local plat book may also come in handy to identify specific parcels of land.
Shotgun and shells. The best shotgun is one that you have used and are comfortable with. The style or gauge of the shotgun is not nearly as important as your proficiency with it. Since pheasants are fairly tough birds, you will want to choose a heavier load such as 4 or 5 shot and limit your shooting distances to less than 50 yards. This will result in fewer wounded birds. Nontoxic shot is required on federal land, but many hunters prefer to use it anytime they're in the field.
Blaze orange. Minnesota pheasant hunters are required to wear at least one visible article of clothing above the waist that is blaze orange. This could be a hat, jacket or hunting vest. The more blaze orange you wear, the more visible you will be to other hunters.
Good boots. Pheasant hunting involves lots of walking on uneven terrain. Good quality, above-the-ankle boots or shoes will provide the comfort and support you need for a day in the field. Since crossing creeks and marshy areas is common, waterproof boots are preferred by many hunters.
Layered clothing. Cool fall mornings often turn into sunny, warm afternoons. Layered clothing will prepare you for a variety of weather conditions. Long sleeves and gloves will help keep you from getting scratched up when moving through tall grass, cattails or woody cover. Hunting chaps or brush pants will protect your legs and keep you dry on mornings when the grass is wet.
Eye and ear protection. Anytime you use a firearm, you should protect your eyes and ears. A pair of sunglasses and foam ear plugs will provide basic protection. More expensive options included coated, colored, high impact lenses and digital hearing aids that enhance some sounds while protecting ears from loud noises.
A good dog. A dog is not required to hunt pheasants, but a good hunting dog will increase the opportunities you have to harvest birds and provide you with a companion in the field. A hunting dog is a year-round commitment. Be sure you are willing to invest significant time and energy before purchasing a dog.
Hydration. Be sure to carry at least two bottles of water in the field and have jugs of water at your vehicle. Water your dog and yourself, often. Bring snacks to keep your energy level up and consider canine energy bars for your dog.
The right equipment and a little preparation will greatly enhance your hunting experience. Have fun, be safe, and good luck hunting!
Government shutdown not expected to impact the Camp Ripley archery hunt From the DNR
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Minnesota Department of Military Affairs (DMA) are still planning to hold the 2013 Camp Ripley archery hunts scheduled for Oct. 26-27, and Nov. 2-3.
"Hunts at Camp Ripley are important to our archers, and many plan for this event a year in advance," said Beau Liddell, area wildlife supervisor at Little Falls. "In addition, hunter harvest is the only means available to efficiently manage deer populations on the installation. However, effects of the federal government shutdown have made it challenging for our partners at Camp to meet their military training mission. We are sympathetic to those needs which take precedent over hunting at Camp."
In recent days many hunters have contacted the DNR to inquire about impacts of the shutdown on the hunt.
While the National Guard is impacted by the shutdown, it appears there will be sufficient military resources available to assist with managing the hunts, and as of today no significant impacts to the timing of the hunt are anticipated.
The current situation may change if the shutdown continues for a significant period of time and results in additional major impacts to military training.
The DMA and the DNR are monitoring the situation and will release information as soon as it appears that changes to the timing of the hunts may occur.
Hunters should remain vigilant for statewide news releases, public service announcements, and should monitor the DNR's deer hunting Web page frequently in case changes to this year's events become necessary.
If major changes are needed, the DNR will attempt to contact hunters via letter regarding such changes at least a week prior to the first hunt.
The archery hunt at Camp Ripley is an annual event.
The DNR coordinates the hunt with the DMA, which manages the 53,000-acre military reservation.
More MN businesses now required to take aquatic invasive species training From the DNR
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is offering additional aquatic invasive species (AIS) training to owners of lake service provider businesses this fall so they can legally work in the state's waters.
Businesses that rent, lease or decontaminate boats or other water-related equipment are now required to attend AIS training and acquire a permit under a state law change that took effect in July.
"Before this change, the law applied only to businesses such as marinas, dock haulers, boat clubs and others who install or remove equipment from state waters," said April Rust, DNR AIS training coordinator.
Several AIS training sessions for lake service providers are scheduled around the state: Rochester, Oct. 15; Bemidji; Oct. 16; Duluth, Oct. 27; Blaine, Nov. 6.
After completing the required three-hour training, lake service providers must pass an exam, apply for a permit online, and pay a $50 application fee before a permit is issued.
The training sessions provide details about AIS and information needed to pass the test.
They also cover how to integrate AIS prevention strategies into business practices. The permit is valid for 3 years.
Lake service providers must have the permits while providing services.
Employees of lake service provider businesses also need to complete a short training course offered free online unless they work for a business with boats, equipment or structures that remain on the property in the same body of water.
Nearly 1,000 lake service businesses in Minnesota have attended AIS training since January 2012 and are now included on the DNR's list of permitted service providers.
To register for training, find out if a business needs a permit, or for more information, visit the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov/lsp.
CO weekly reports From the DNR
• CO Brian Mies (Annandale) worked on tip calls on duck hunters hunting when season was closed. CO Mies spent two days at camp training. CO Mies checked archery deer hunters.
• CO Rick Reller (Buffalo) spent the week checking hunters and anglers in the Wright County area. Several hunters were found to be hunting waterfowl during the closed season in the central zone. Reller also followed up on several deer hunting and trespass complaints. Enforcement action was taken for taking waterfowl out of season, unplugged shotgun, transport loaded firearm in motorboat, no PFD in watercraft, no small game license, angling with extra lines and felony drug possession.
• CO Steve Walter (Waconia) responded to calls all week including hunter harassment, trespassing and shooting within 500 feet of a home. Waterfowl hunters were checked all week finding illegal shooting of ducks and geese in closed zones every day. Anglers were checked on the Minnesota and Crow rivers. Multiple citations and warnings were issued for shooting ducks and geese during closed season, unplugged guns, no HIP certification, no small game license, no personal flotation devices, shooting several grebes and angling with extra lines.
• CO Jackie Glaser (Mound) assisted with the conservation officer candidate written exam in Minneapolis. She received several hunting complaints about people hunting in closed areas. She participated in several AIS hearings regarding drain plug violations and attended a meeting in St. Paul.
• CO Brett Oberg (Hutchinson) worked the opening of the Central Waterfowl Zone. Rain seemed to keep many hunters at home; however, hunters that made the best of it were able to harvest some ducks and geese. Officer Oberg responded to a call of hunters in the State Game Refuge along with the Hutchinson Police Department. Enforcement action was taken for hunting in a State Game Refuge. A TIP call was also worked and several hunters were cited for hunting in the still closed Southern Waterfowl Zone. Enforcement action was also taken for no license in possession.
• CO Jen Mueller (Hutchinson) noticed a rainy start to the second waterfowl season north of Hwy 212 in her area. Eight ducks were seized and citations written to a group that was unaware the season was still closed south of Hwy 212. Unplugged guns and license issues were also noted. During the week, she investigated two trespass cases involving archery hunters. She attended training in Willmar during the week and assisted with fall in-service training at Camp Ripley.
Question of the week From the DNR
Q: What does the DNR do with animals that are taken illegally (poached)?
A: For those animals that are taken illegally, the DNR tries to ensure that the animal poached is not wasted.
Meat from illegally harvested wild game such as deer is often donated to food shelves and other groups that serve those less fortunate.
However, sometimes meat must be thrown away or destroyed.
This has been especially true for fish.
The DNR has an agreement with the Minnesota Department of Health to dispose of meat, such as pre-packaged fish fillets, because it is often hard to tell whether or not the packaging was done properly.
In some cases, the animal or bird, or parts of the animal, such as deer antlers, are turned over to schools and other educational institutions for study.
