Pat Carroll (11th Feb 1956-16th March 1986)
Pat Carroll and his sisters Mary and Cathy Ann grew up on the family farm in Newhall. He attended Coolderry N.S .He began his education in the old school and some years later moved to the prefabricated building opposite the present hurling field. He later went to the Presentation College in Birr. When he finished school, he worked on the farm, which he continued to do until his illness. In his short life of just thirty years Pat achieved immense recognition not only from the people of Coolderry and Offaly but also throughout Ireland.
He was a lad of quiet disposition, a keen farmer, a brilliant player who epitomised the spirit of Offaly hurling, a dedicated husband and father and an exceptional son. When Coolderry was going through a crisis in the eighties, this period witnessed the emergence of one of Coolderry's most influential players - the peerless Pat Carroll whose deeds in the tricolour jersey made him one of the most celebrated figures in the game.
Pat was the complete hurler. His exceptional ability to pick off points under pressure from acute angles This coupled with his determination to succeed earned him the respect and fear of every other player with whom he met on the playing field.
The surname Carroll is synonymous with the G.A.A. Pat's Dad was a former Offaly and Leinster goalkeeper .His grandfather Paddy played with the club. He won a junior and senior title in the same year (1914). The granduncles Jim and Joe played with the county and won two Junior All-Ireland titles in 1923 and 1929.His mothers maiden name Teehan has long associations with the G.A.A. Her father Red Jack was an outstanding player. He played at club and county level. His uncle Paddy Joe was a county player. He was also an outstanding referee. Paddy Joe won a Junior Leinster title in 1938.He was club secretary and chairman of the County Board. Roddy Teehan (P.J.'s brother) hurled with the Coolderry Club.
With this unique back ground in hurling, it was inevitable that Pat would emerge as a star hurler. Pat started his hurling career early in life and experienced victory while still only at primary school. Pat first wore the Offaly colours as a minor in 1973 and he also represented the county at that level in 1974. In the same year he won his place on the county under 21 team and played at that grade for 4 years until 1977 In the meantime he had graduated onto the county Senior team (1975) .He played a league match against Antrim in November of that year. Ironically, he played his first senior game against Antrim, his last game in the county colours in the 1985 All-Ireland Semi- Final was also against Antrim.
In September 1977 the club reached the county final. They defeated Kinnitty 1-8 to 1-6. On St. Patricks day 1979 Pat won a Railway cup medal as Leinster defeated Connacht in Semple Stadium. In the 1979 Leinster championship, Wexford defeated Offaly by 2 points .In the same year Pat played with his club in the county championship but his hopes were dashed when Kinnitty beat them in a replay.
The greatest era in Pat Carrolls hurling career was in June 1980 when he played a major role in bringing the Bob O Keeffe cup to Offaly for the first time as they defeated Kilkenny 3-17 to 5-10.Galway beat Offaly in the All-Ireland -semi-final .Pat received an all star award at left half forward .In November of the same year the Offaly Senior hurling final between Coolderry and Kinnity took place, unfortunately on this occasion Pat was ruled out through injury. However, his mind was on the ball and victory was in sight .He left his injury to one side and togged out in the green and white of Coolderry .Pat was captain of the team, he gave the greatest display of hurling ever seen in St. Brendan's Park, He earned himself ' Man of the Match ' and he also took home the Sean Robbins cup.
In 1981 Offaly were beaten in the League Final. Later that year they reached the Leinster final and defeated Wexford. Offaly found themselves in their first senior All Ireland Hurling final. Pat scored a vital goal for Offaly; it came after 12.5 minutes. Johnny Flaherty passed the ball to Pat and he struck a low hard shot. The ball went in off the near post.
This goal kept Offaly in the game until half time. In the second half after 7.5 minutes Pat scored a valuable point. The players, including Pat, hurled with such determination for the 35 minutes; not even Galway could stop them. Offaly defeated Galway 2.12 to 0-15. The proud team brought back the McCarthy cup to the Faithful County later that year. Pat was recognised by the All Stars selectors this time at right corner forward.
Pat had the honour of captaining the Offaly team in two Leinster finals in 1982 and 1983 and he also captained Leinster in the Railway Cup in 1982. Offaly won the Leinster title in 1984 (centenary of the G.A.A). Pat gave a brilliant display in the All - Ireland semi-final against Galway. Just 25 minutes into the game Pat sustained an injury and was forced to leave the pitch. When the second half resumed Offaly began to lose ground.
Pat was re-introduced midway through the second half. It was better than a tonic to the team, his presence (though heavily bandaged) not only lifted the game but their spirit also and they emerged as the winners. The centenary final was played in Semple Stadium. Cork defeated Offaly. Pat proved his ability to score points from any angle. He scored 4 points from play.
His outstanding hurling for Offaly in 1984 deservedly gained him the Offaly Hurler of the year award. Pat continued to play his hurling with verve and style and was an outstanding forward even though in 1985 he was quite ill. The greatest performance for Pat was, when he scored 3 points from almost the sideline in the Leinster semi-final replay against Kilkenny. Pat played his last game for Offaly against Antrim (Armagh, Aug .4th) in 1985.
Pat also represented his club both singing and dancing in Scor competitions. Pat was a community man, he sang in the church choir and he was a member of the youth club. He also played junior football and badminton with Coolderry and soccer with Ballybritt. Pat married Mary McCormack (Banagher). Their son Brian togged out for St.Kieran's College in the All-Ireland Colleges' Final last year. Brian also hurled on the victorious Coolderry minor team in 1999.

In general he was an exemplary club-man .By example and commitment he showed the way to his colleagues who now can honour his memory by upholding the great hurling traditions of Coolderry. Hurling in Coolderry is a way of life, but, born into a stronghold of hurling. Pat brought new honours and a great pride into the parish. Pat Carroll died on Sunday March 16th 1986.

[Air-The Rocks of Bawn]
All across the Faithful County
Deep sadness fills the air
Where once the blazing bonfire burned
Now heads are bowed in prayer
A red haired hurler sleeps tonight
With the Gaels from yesteryear
While friend and foe, remembering
Shed many a manly tear.
Along Coolderry's rolling hills
Through many a verdant vale
No rousing song is heard tonight
Just the banshee's lonely wail
And Offaly's heart that burst with pride
When her sons proved Ireland's best
In sad despair, beyond repair
Lies broken in her breast.
No more he'll thrill the thousands
With his skilful surging play.
The flashing point, the crashing goal.
The more shall save the day.
The sacred ash no more he'll clash
With defences rent in twain.
And we who mourn his passing
Will seek his like in vain
His deeds will be remembered
While the shamrock grows in spring
Round many a turf fire's homely hearth
His praise the bard will sing
To sons and grandsons yet unborn
The legend will be told
Of his peerless skill and courage
In the great green, white and gold.
In memory I see still
As he battles for the ball
The long range points from left to right
I clearly can recall
He led by his example too
For all around to see
In club or county colours
In the charge to victory
His stirring play was a joy to see
From around the 'forty' mark
At Jones' Road and Thurles too
And at St. Brendan's Park
How oft the tumults thundering din
His praises did resound
As he paved the way to victory
On many a hallowed ground.
His heart loved all things Irish
Not just the hurling game
The stirring strains of the native airs
That fanned bright freedoms flame
And the dancing of the half sets too
For Coolderry in the Scor
He gave his all what'er the cause
His like we'll see no more.
God's peace dear friend no more we'll clash
Our hurleys in the fray
Nor share a sporting drink or two
At the close of an epic day
But often times at eventide
In the harvest sunsets glow
With deep respect I will reflect
On those days of long ago
And as the 'Gosoon' walks from school
With his hurley in his hand
He dreams of the day he'll be a star
Acclaimed throughout the land
And when he holds the McCarthy Cup
On that great September day
He'll think of how, long long ago
He saw Pat Carroll play.
So come on brave Offaly hurlers
Get ye ready for the fray
And give your all for every ball
As you strive to win the day
And when the cheers of glory sound
'Neath the fair September sky
Let's thank God for Pat Carroll
When the cup is hoisted high.
Words- (Alo Grennan, Rahan and Lynne Harrold, (South Wales.)
In the lovely fields of Coolderry, we saw him
work each day,
To reap the harvest at autumn time, in summer save the hay,
And in the shade of evening, he again was to the fore
As he trained for his County Offaly, in the field at Tullamore .
He played the game with verve and style, the
star of many a game,
With an All- Ireland and All Star Awards, he won renown and fame,
Then he was pleased; he had finished his work, at thirty years of age, His name shall shine forever more, on History's Golden Page.
How strong and fearless was that will, of Offaly's
faithful son!
What mighty deeds, what noble feats, has this great hurler done!
"Invaluable" was the part he played, in moulding a winning side,
The green, the white, the gold he loved and wore them with great pride.
United are all hurling men, wherever they may
Tipperary feels this tragic loss with our neighbours Offaly.
To Mary, his courageous wife and Brian his loving son,
We congratulate you both to day, on the last great prize Pat's won.
All Offaly is proud to night, of Pat Carroll's
noble name,
And Coolderry will fondly speak, of his great hurling fame,
When hurling matches are replayed, and great victories are told,
We'll hear of the great Pat Carroll, and the green, the white and gold.
Prince of proud Ely
Red Hair adrift
In the heat of the battle
Hurler could shift
With a nudge of right shoulder
Room for three steps
For your talented left
Wrist to make grist
Then to see the ball soar
And hear the Croke roar
As we knew by its flight
O're the bar it would light
Coolderry will mourn
Your early sojourn
To ancestral earth
Vi Faile hard find.
The like of your kind. (D.W.)

What you get inside this book is much more than what it says on the cover; it contains a detailed investigation into the probable directions of planning and building of Dere Street, the major Roman road on the Eastern side of the Roman frontier, plus Hadrians Wall, the Stanegate and the vallum as well as the Antonine Wall. All this is done in a systematic way which effectively overturns, or at least calls into question, much of the previously generally accepted theories on the direction(s) in which this was done by the Romans
In his introduction Poulter cites his life-long interest in roads, railways and canals and the questions he asked about their locations including why they were built here and not there. This interest included questioning how Roman surveyors could follow straight lines for extended distances yet still know where they should be going, and with such accuracy. His expertise as a systems engineer, even if not that of a civil engineer, led to several years of research attempting to answer these questions.
The first route he chose to research was that of Dere Street, the main Roman road from the Vale of York up into Scotland, in the north of England but following representations from several leading archaeologist and Roman period experts he extended his methods to research the planning of both Hadrians and the Antonine Walls. He has published a formal treatise on his findings (in 2009) which those seeking more details are referred to but the current book is intended to explain both his reasoning and findings for a more general non-specialist audience and as such provides much food for thought in the conclusions he draws.
The main part of the book consists of thirteen chapters; the first three providing background into the methods used to establish bearings and the direction in which roads were planned. The ten remaining chapters in the the book comprise; five chapters addressing different aspects of three case studies and a further five outlining the underlying methodologies used in writing this book and suggestions for further work.
Of the five Case Study related chapters; one looks at the planning of Dere Street while two chapters each are devoted to the planning and interpretation of respectively Hadrians Wall and the Antonine Wall.
The remaining five chapters each address important related issues; one making comparisons with other Roman roads and another similar comparisons with the eighteenth century military roads in Scotland. In some respects however I found the remaining three chapters to contain some of Poulters most insightful comments; the first raises possible questions for further research with the second outlining at the broad methodology that he used in his research when deciding possible scenarios for the various structures sequence of construction and interpretation of their original purpose.
However possibly the last of the chapters (although 6th in sequence) title of Loose Talk and Woolly Thinking in many ways encapsulates how different Poulters attitude has been to much of what has been written about how such emblematic Roman structures in Britain were planned and built in the past. By going back to basics and actually looking at what is visible on the ground Poulter has used a surprisingly simple but effective methodology and in doing so raised effective arguments against several of the theories espoused in several recent books on related topics. In fact Poulters findings go a long way to re-writing what has long been accepted about the Roman passion for road building and construction of the British sections of the Roman limes (frontiers) and compliments separate research undertaken by Wooliscroft (published in 2001 as Roman Military Signalling).
The book is well illustrated and referenced, comprising 32 colour plates and lists 96 figures although some are in multiple parts to depict different aspects of the same topic. The Appendix extends the methodology outlined in the book to provide some analysis of the spacing of turrets and milecastles along Hadrians Wall.
Overall I found this a very well written, well referenced, occasionally funny but always informative book which never lost sight of the fact that there may be more than one way of interpreting the ancient remains which the author has studied. Poulter is not afraid to say where further research may change the interpretations he has come to or cite the circumstances where even his methodology cannot provide a definitive answer for sequences of construction. However, given how determinedly he appears to have carried out his own research, I suspect that any such new discovery is unlikely to make a major difference to his findings.
If the topic interests you at all I would recommend this as a genuinely new interpretation and one which should be read by anyone considering undertaking research on Roman roads or linear features in the future.

I believe that we should be happy for what we have now, and we should only strive to become better. This belief came pretty recently, as a sort of epiphany out of nowhere. I hear stuff from my parents all the time, talking about how lucky I am to be able to do the things I do and for the things I have. Well, they're absolutely right. I have a home, plenty of food, I'm in good health, and I have people who love and support me. I'll watch the news or some movie based off of some tragedy that happened and I can't help but think, "Wow, I have it good." I see some people who complain about not having an incredibly nice car and I won't mind their complaining until I see something tragedy happening. While we live well and happy, but still wanting more, others out in the world lay in the streets wondering if they will be able to live for another day. I guess through the repetition of constantly learning about some massacre or tragedy happening in my English and History classes, I realized how lucky I really am. I realized I should be happy for who I am and what I've already got. I realized I lead a happy life with my friends and family. We as people should strive to become better. We should become better and prevent genocides and other tragedies from happening. I believe we should learn from our mistakes and become better as a whole. I sort of got this from listening to some of the music we listen to. Some of the music today tends to include messages, including that of peace or some other promotion. I thought to myself as I listened to the song "Where is the Love?" by Black Eyed Peas and thought we should strive to become better people. We shouldn't be complaining about the things we don't have and appreciate the things we do have. I believe in order to strive to become a better person we need to take a second to look at the kind of person we are and reflect off of our actions. I believe in learning from our mistakes can only benefit us and help us look on to a brighter future.

The traditional door lock is being replace by the aptly named, and inventive, UniKey system. This high-tech door lock turns your smartphone, or any Bluetooth-enabled device, into a door key. The door is a standard deadbolt that becomes disarmed when it detects the UniKey app in close proximity. Once the signal is detected, a user needs only to touch the lock to unlock it.

General Forecast
The weekend begins on a high note as the fiery Sagittarius moon merges with amenable Venus for Friday night festivities. By Sunday morning, as Venus squares stern Saturn in Virgo, the atmosphere won't be so hot. But since we'll be in the "balsamic phase" of this lunar cycle, it's likely that nothing too drastic will result from the square. On Monday, Mercury enters Aquarius, the sign in which it turns retrograde three weeks later. And on Tuesday, at 3:37 a.m. PST/6:37 a.m. EST, the moon and sun meet in the middle of Capricorn and inaugurate the new year.
Aries: Mar. 20 – Apr. 19
It's fairly simple. If you survived the trauma Pluto put you through while it was opposing your Mars ruler on the 2nd, and you're not any the worse for wear, i.e., didn't hit bottom, feel free to take the weekend off. And contemplate what you want to happen when Tuesday's Capricorn new moon inaugurates a new cycle of your career arc. This year the top of your solar chart, your achievement-oriented midheaven, attracts considerable attention from the universe at large. It wouldn't hurt to put your own thoughts out there, too.
Taurus: Apr. 20 – May 20
Your Venus ruler zips through the zodiac this year, without slowing down enough for you to catch your breath. After a fiery but tense January, you're up for some well-deserved soul-satisfaction until Valentine's Day is history. Career challenges will keep you on your toes in March. Easter is iffy, a sudden change of heart, perhaps a new group of friends? If you can get away, take some time in April to refresh and renew your spirit. Come May and the birthday, having both loving Venus and the creative sun in your sign should bring many happy occasions. Money in June.
Gemini: May 21 – Jun. 20
Right now romantic Venus is in your Sagittarius marriage house, so if you're not attached, by all means, get out of the house. After the pressures connected with Valentine's Day have lifted, would be another good time for making whoopee. The last two weeks of March can be brilliant career-wise, courtesy of a very friendly client. Soon after the sun crosses into Gemini, Venus catches up. Make plans to do something special for Memorial Day, before your Mercury ruler, also in Gemini, turns retrograde that day. More good loving in September.
Cancer: Jun. 21 – Jul. 22
How about a little night music? Listen for harmonious Venus entering your Capricorn complement on the 24th. Her seductive serenade continues while the goddess visits your house of sex and other people's assets through mid-March. May could be particularly enjoyable; Venus' interlude in earthy Taurus celebrates all the senses. Come the summer solstice, Venus hooks up with the life-giving sun to bring you almost everything a Crab desires. After a long, hot summer, romance and creativity are renewed at the autumn equinox. Once again, the timing proves impeccable.
Leo: Jul. 23 – Aug. 22
Leo, more than any other sign, is able to chart the course the Lion takes during the year. Start with your sun ruler's transit of pragmatic Capricorn, with its emphasis on improving work and health habits. Segue into your Aquarius house of significant relationships and, as the sun moves through Pisces, discover more of the resources and attitudes you share. Arian aspirations ignite in spring; you follow through during productive Taurus. Gemini is quite social as befits the variety of associates you've acquired. Rest up during Cancer so you can spring back into the limelight for Leo.
Virgo: Aug. 23 – Sep. 22
Even with restrictive Saturn in your sign this year, the Virgin will experience an interesting love life. Romantic Venus is in your Capricorn house of hugs, kisses and recreation from Jan. 24 until Feb. 17; since your Mercury ruler will be retrograde then, forget about working. You won't get much done. Venus settles into your Pisces house of partners on Palm Sunday for three weeks of couple-consciousness. Curious about the exotic, the esoteric or an ex-pat? Fly away in early May while Venus accentuates the sights, sounds and tastes that sensuous Taurus offers.
Libra: Sep. 23 – Oct. 22
Since this week's column focuses on the effect your Venus ruler has on the other signs, read for your significant other and those who might not be in that category, just yet. On your own, you'll enjoy during the goddess' transit through your Aquarius house of romance and risky ventures that begins right after Valentine's Day. Her trip through your adventurous Aries marriage house in April heightens your willingness to try something new. But if you intend to travel in June while Venus is in air-sign friendly Gemini, know that Mercury will be retrograde during that entire transit.
Scorpio: Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Why is the Capricorn new moon on the 8th different from all other new moons? Because it is the event that begins the redemption of your financial situation. However, you'll need to envision what you'd like to see happen after your Pluto co-ruler leaves enthusiastic Sagittarius for its trip through down-to-earth Capricorn on Jan. 25th. It might take the full 16 years of Pluto's transit to attain your idealized state, but at least you'll be on your way. 2008 is the year to reconnect with spiritual brothers and sisters from the '90s.
Sagittarius: Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Take a minute during the Capricorn new moon on Tuesday to make "new moon magic," i.e., to light a candle and add your hopes for 2008 to the rest of humanity's. Since your beneficent Jupiter ruler will be in Cap, the earth sign that delivers what fiery Sagittarius promises, for the rest of the year, your chances of getting what you want are pretty good. If it's a hot romance, picture yourself engaged in your favorite sport with the athlete of your dreams while magnetic Venus is in your Aries house of fun and games in April.
Capricorn: Dec. 22 – Jan. 20
On Tuesday, during the Capricorn new moon, consider sending your hopes and dreams for the fabulous year you're about to enjoy into the cosmos where they'll percolate until they reach perfection and come back to bless you. Too much? With hyperbolic, optimistic Jupiter in your sign this year, come the summer, you won't think so. Devilishly horny Goats can expect an infusion of good loving while Venus is in your sign from Jan. 24 through Valentine's Day, and again when the goddess enters your Taurus house of romance and risk. May Day! May Day!
Aquarius: Jan. 21 – Feb. 18
Pay attention: The times to put your hopes and money on romance depend on Venus' circuit of the zodiac. The planet of love, luck and nice stuff is at home in Aquarius from Feb. 17 to March 12. She twirls through your Gemini house of happiness from May 24 to June 18. The goddess ennobles your Leo marriage house, soothing the beast within, from July 12 to Aug. 5. She returns to open-minded, hot-to-trot Sagittarius where she is today, from mid-October until Veteran's Day. Venus ends 2008, once again in Aquarius, attracting people and presents during most of December.
Pisces: Feb. 19 – Mar. 19
Fish are such dyed-in-the-wool romantics, it hardly matters if you know when your chances of attracting affectionate partners are good. Here goes anyway: Need a quickie? Jan. 12th. Obsessing over an angel? March 6. Want to look your best? March 12 to April 4, while Venus is in your sign. Online dating? May's the month. Cuddling and creative cooking? Mid-June to mid-July while the goddess camps out in your Cancer house of pure love. Massage your mate or pick out a new, improved partner during her transit of Virgo in August.

Alright look... This isn't student housing where you're allowed to live somewhere for only one semester and then move. Also obviously no propane grills on the patio because there have been dozens of fires due to them (my previous complex had one about 6 months ago).
It's really simple,12-14 month lease, the prices are average for the state and the area for what they offer in amenities. If you don't like it get over it and live somewhere else. Don't write a crap review because you're sour you didn't get your way.
The apartments are great! I loved the separate dining area and the pantry in the kitchen. I didn't even have a pantry in my house! I just loved it here!
The people who worked in the office were really nice and bent over backwards to ensure our time there was stress free.
We loved Concord at Geneva
There have been a number of problems in the front office. There is poor insulation in the apartments.
*Do not live here - 0 stars*
Do you like being overpriced for small, low quality apartments? Do you like being pushed into contracts that are longer than your entire life's story, with almost no possible way out except with higher authority? Do you like living next to the loudest train in the entire world? Then this place is for you!
Trust me. My husband and I lived here for only one month, and the management had absolutely no communication. We signed contract after contract, (while we were already living in the apartment, mind you) trying to get everything right. Eventually we said to heck with this, we will live somewhere else! Best decision ever - but is costed us an arm and a leg and a lung and a heart to get out. We now get twice the amount of space at half the price, and the management isn't going to yell at us on the phone for no reason. DO NOT LIVE HERE.
I've lived here for about 6 months and will not be resigning my lease. The apartment location is great, the amenities (pool, gym, etc) are nice, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. However the construction is terrible. I have lived in apartments all over and I've never seen construction this poor. We can hear EVERYTHING from our upstairs and next door neighbors. The toilet flushing, the dishwasher, their tvs, the cabinets closing, and even normal conversations. I can even hear our upstairs neighbor peeing every morning. It's maddening. Even normal walking sounds like pounding, and if your upstairs neighbors happen to have dogs (which they will...eveyrone here seems to have 2 huge dogs) you'll hear them running, jumping, and barking alll day and night. It's enough to drive anyone crazy. I was excited for us to move in here because the apartments do look nice and the amenities are nice, but the complete lack of insulation whatsoever and the shoddy construction make it not worth what we're paying each month.

This may come as a surprise after the way I raved about the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness, but I think I just read my favorite book of the year. There are still four months left, of course, and I've read some really great books this year (like Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell), but this latest book is easily the best adult book I've read. So what book is it? It's a New York Times bestseller that actually lived up to its hype: The Martian by Andy Weir.
Goodreads Book Blurb:
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him & forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded & completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive—& even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—& a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
Here's what I loved about it:
1. It's sci-fi, but believable.
There weren't any aliens, or a time-space continuum, a meteor on an Earth-destroying path, or epic space battles. This was just a straight up mission to Mars where the astronauts were all scheduled to do some experiments, collect rock and soil samples, and return home. Easy-peasy. Or at least, that was the plan…
2. The main character had a great sense of humor.
Mark Watney could have crumbled under the despair of being abandoned on Mars. But he doesn't. He's calm and clever and keeps it light. Most people wouldn't be able to do this, but he's an astronaut. They train for the unexpected, plus they're just cooler than the average human, right?
An example of his humor: when Mark tries using a laptop outside of his main hub, the extreme cold of Mars causes the laptop to instantly die. He teases, "Maybe I'll post a consumer review. "Brought product to surface of Mars. It stopped working. 0/10."'
3. The suspense kept me racing to find out what would happen next.
This may be sci-fi, but it's really a survival story. We've all heard about the robots and missions where one miscalculation has led to million dollar failures. With one problem after another, will Mark survive on Mars? Will he ever make it back to Earth? How could one astronaut survive the odds?
4. The math and science-heavy parts were oddly satisfying.
I am terrible at math. My brain just doesn't do well with numbers and complex problem solving. But I admire Watney's ability to do those things. Math and science really do save his life. His MacGyvering skills would be useless (and a bit unbelievable) if he didn't have the calculations to back up his plans. Also, I can appreciate the work the author put in to achieve the book's thoroughness. The author really knew his stuff.
5. The story of how this book became a bestseller is a writer's dream.
In the back of the e-book version of The Martian, there is a short essay by the author explaining how a nerdy idea became a bestselling novel. Just for fun, the author decided to plan out a manned mission to Mars, complete with software to calculate the crew's trip. From there, he started thinking about all the things that could go wrong. So he wrote The Martian and posted chapters on his website. His readers asked him to make the book available on Amazon, so he formatted it into an e-book, and set the price at the lowest available: 99 cents. Lo and behold, it became an Amazon bestseller. Publishers wanted the book and so did movie studios. The book was republished and became a New York Times bestseller. In October, the movie version starring Matt Damon will hit theaters. Not too bad for a self-proclaimed nerd, eh?!
Have you read this book? What did you think? Will you see the movie?
Below is the trailer for the film. Caution: if you plan on reading the novel, I would steer clear of the trailer. It reveals a lot of the book's content.

We have finally found a videographer we really love, but the package that is within our ideal price range doesn't include the short video. I've read that most people watch the highlight video much more than their full length one, so I'm torn on whether it will be worth it with the added cost? I'm in need of advice from all of the bees ??? Thanks so much!

The build is pretty radical for the times with a ceramic bezel and titanium case and bracelet. It runs on a kinetic movement, the 5m65 with a ten year battery life. The dial is an eery green which like all Seiko dials is very hard to capture in pics. Thanks to Tony, stellar WL for sending this my way.

Cross Ministry Transition Planning Protocol
The Cross Ministry Transition Planning Protocol for Youth with Special Needs is an agreement between nine government organizations (see the organizations listed below) on how they will work together to support the transition of youth with special needs (aged 14-25) to adulthood.
When was the Protocol Created?
The Cross-Ministry Transition Planning Protocol for Youth with Special Needs was announced in November, 2009 by the Minister of Children and Family Development, Mary Polak. Read the Ministry press release here. Implementation of the protocol was to happen in the months following, leading into 2010.
Why is the Protocol needed?
Families of children with special needs face a multitude of challenges navigating the system. Planning for the transition out of high school can be especially difficult, as families learn which ministries and departments provide what services and how to apply for them. The confusing process adds to the existing stress of planning for life after high school.
Is it working?
The existence of the Protocol is encouraging because it acknowledges the need for collaboration between all relevant ministries and organizations to ensure a successful transition process. If implemented effectively, it has the potential to allow for an early, well-coordinated and less confusing planning process for students and their families.
Inclusion BC wants to see the protocol work for families. We are concerned, however, that almost two years after the protocol was announced, it is not fulfilling its promise.
In November, 2009, with the announcement of the Protocol, the Province of BC said, "service providers and ministry staff across all sectors now have a clear transition planning process that will guide a collaborative approach to planning for youth transitions to adulthood."
While the process is there, it is not clear how or if those involved are actually using it.
As we hear the stories of five students who are transitioning out of high school, we will learn if the protocol is in fact "ensuring that a co-ordinated transition planning process occurs for youth with special needs and their families"
Which organizations are involved in the protocol?
Nine government organizations are signatories to the protocol:
- Six ministries: Advanced Education and Labour Market Development, Children and Family Development, Education, Health Services, Housing and Social Development and Public Safety and Solicitor General.
- Plus: BC Housing, Community Living BC, and the Public Guardian and Trustee.
*note: the Province of BC also has a detailed Question and Answer sheet about the Transition Planning Protocol. You can read it online here.

WikipediaRead full entry
Bipalium is a genus of large predatory land flatworms, terrestrial planarians. They are often loosely called "hammerhead worms" or "broadhead planarians" because of the distinctive shape of their head region. Land planarians are unique in that they possess a "creeping sole" on their ventral side.[2] Several species are considered as invasive to the United States[3] and to Europe.[4] Some studies have begun the investigation of the evolutionary ecology of these invasive planarians.[5]
Feeding habits[edit]
Bipalium species are predatory. Some species prey on earthworms, while others feed on mollusks.[6][7] It has been shown that the flatworms can track their prey.[8] When captured, earthworms will begin to react to the attack, but a flatworm uses the muscles in its body as well as sticky secretions to attach itself to the earthworm to prevent escape. Several studies have indicated that the planarians will cover, or cap the prostomium, peristomium and anterior end to end the violent reaction by the earthworm.[9] To feed on its prey, a flatworm extends its pharynx out from its mouth on the mid-ventral portion of its body and secretes enzymes that begin digestion of the earthworm external to the flatworm. The liquefied earthworm tissues are sucked into the branching gut of the flatworm by ciliary action.[10]
Reproduction in Bipalium may be asexual or sexual and all species are hermaphroditic. B. adventitium reproduces sexually and creates egg capsules, which hatch around 3 weeks post-deposition. The egg capsules have a tough exterior and generally contain multiple juveniles.[5] B. kewense have rarely been observed using egg capsules as a primary method of reproduction. Asexual fragmentation is the main reproductive strategy in B. kewense in temperate regions.[11] Juveniles of this species, unlike B. adventitium, do not appear the same coloration as parents in their early days.[12]
The genus Bipalium is one of four genera in the subfamily Bipaliinae, within the family Geoplanidae. Other genera include Diversibipalium, Novibipalium and Humbertium.[13]
Invasive species[edit]
There is very little known about the ecology of terrestrial planarians, however research has been done on different genera and species, including several native and invasive species in Brazil,[14] Arthurdendyus triangulatus,[15] Rhynchodemus [16] and Bipalium.[17] Currently, there are four known invasive species to the United States: B. adventitium, B. kewense, B. pennsylvanicum and B. vagum.[7] It is believed that these planarians came to the US on horticultural plants.
Bipalium kewense has been found commonly in American greenhouses since 1901.[18] Planaria are voracious predators of earthworms, and Bipalium kewense and Dolichoplana Striata Moseley have been identified as nuisances in the southern USA in earthworm-rearing beds.[19] Control of the species is difficult due to the lack of predators. As noted by the University of Florida IFAS department,
Other animals rarely devour land planarians, since surface secretions appear distasteful, if not toxic. Protozoans, including flagellates, ciliates, sporozoans, and nematodes have been detected in land planarians. Because of their cannibalistic habit, land planarians may be their own worst enemy.[20]
Individual Bipalium adventitium are characterized by a single dark dorsal stripe. They were first discovered in the US in California and New York[21] but have been found in Illinois[22] as well as most northern states[5] Bipalium kewense have five dark dorsal stripes and a partial dark collar. They have undergone several name changes since their discovery in North America. B. kewense is commonly found across the southern regions of the US.[12] B. kewense is found worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions.[11] Bipalium pennsylvanicum is characterized by its dark brown head and three dorsal stripes. Thus far it has only been found in Pennsylvania and in coastal South Carolina in 2014.[23] Bipalium vagum is characterized by two dark dorsal blotches on the head, a thick black band around the neck and three dark dorsal stripes. This species has recently been found in several Gulf Coast states.[7]

Benjamin Button Brad Pitt The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
His name is Benjamin Button and he was born under unusual circumstances. Born old, and aging beautifully, Benjamin is a worldly wise and gentle man. Accepting with grace the fact that he is different, he takes chances and finds beauty in most everything he encounters. Falling in love with Daisy when they are both very young, but he looks so old, he bides his time. Travelling far and wide, inspiring people along the way, Benjamin and Daisy finally have their time together, but it's all too brief as Benjamin continues to get younger, but only on the outside. Daisy cares for Benjamin until he gets young and dies cradled in her arms. Oh the tears I shed. A sublime love story, a sublime story of time and acceptance. Benjamin Button is what Forrest Gump was aspiring to, Benjamin just did it so much better. A calm and sweet soul, he delivered wonderful thoughts in his Southern drawl with such beautiful Buttonisms as "Your life is defined by opportunities...even the ones you miss", indeed it is Benjamin, indeed it is.

The late Peter Ustinov had the definitive joke about Toronto. It's New York, he said, run by the Swiss. In wine, I think of New Zealand as France run by Harvard MBAs. And I mean it in a good way.
Though literally a world away, the country's wines, as a group, may be stylistically closer to those of France than any other. Poise and elegance are two words that tend to apply, especially in contrast to, say, the jammy fruit bombs of Australia.
Credit mostly goes to the remote country's maritime climate, sort of a cross between Bordeaux and the cool Loire Valley, with an extra splash of rain thrown in
New Zealand even excels at most of the top French grapes: Chardonnay, pinot noir, merlot, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, pinot gris, riesling, gewürztraminer - all thrive alongside 35 million sheep and five million people.
But, and this is where the business suits come in, the wines are remarkably consistent in quality. Not always the best in their category, they are usually worth the price and frequently are a bargain. Bad apples amid the kiwis are rare.
Spring is the ideal season to explore New Zealand wines. White or red, they tend to be fresh, lively and versatile at the table, just the thing for the chic patio gatherings that food-porn magazines insist can be thrown together at the last minute. Pegged to the season, Vintages stores in Ontario are about to release a number of high-end New Zealand wines, some of which are very good.
Another timely reason: The current weakness of the New Zealand dollar means you can find exceptional values. Very good wines, particularly whites such as sauvignon blanc and chardonnay, can be had for between $12 and $18. Most provinces carry reliable big brands, such as Nobilo, Villa Maria and Oyster Bay.
Between $20 and $30, New Zealand produces artisan-style wines that can seem like bargains next to good pinot noir from Burgundy, merlot from Bordeaux or syrah from the Rhone Valley.
A key reason for the consistent quality of New Zealand wines is its whole-hearted embrace of innovative vine trellising systems and vineyard management practices, which have helped minimize rot and promote better fruit ripeness in the damp climate.
Nowhere is New Zealand's embrace of innovation more conspicuous than in packaging.
More than 90 per cent of New Zealand wines have twist-off caps, a bold move to reinforce the industry's commitment to freshness of flavour and to battle cork taint, the fungal epidemic randomly affecting roughly one in 12 bottles sealed under cork.
Canadians who know anything about New Zealand wine likely will be familiar with sauvignon blanc, its signature variety, which accounts for about half its acreage. Some experts believe, not laughably, that the country produces the world's best sauvignon blanc. The signature style explodes from the glass with zesty aromas of grapefruit, grass and herbs, though French-wine buffs sometimes fault it for being too loud and lacking the mineral-like quality of Sancerre and that other great Loire Valley sauvignon blanc, Pouilly-Fumé. The most hallowed New Zealand producer is Cloudy Bay, but good brands also include Villa Maria and Babich.
Chardonnay was the country's second big hit, a lively, food-friendly style that stresses fresh fruit rather than the creamy, vanilla-swathed chardonnays that see extended oak-barrel aging.
So compelling and consistently good are the sauvignon blancs and chardonnays that, almost a decade or so ago, critics essentially moved on, turning their attention to debates about New Zealand's Next Big Grape. Most bets have been on pinot noir, a prized but finicky variety. There are three very good examples in the forthcoming Vintages release, any one of which would make a good partner for simply grilled salmon or chicken.
Readers will have to go out of their way to find the best one, though, because it's not advertised in the Vintages catalogue for the release and is available only as an "in-store discovery" at certain high-traffic locations. It's called Rippon Pinot Noir 2006 and is not cheap, at $44.95 (product No. 92676). Produced in Central Otago at the south end of the country's south island (where it's closer to the South Pole and therefore cooler), it shows remarkably good flesh and weight. More New World in style than classically Burgundian, it's jammy and opulent for a pinot, with ripe berry flavours, spice and crisp acidity on the finish. Winemaker Nick Mills is an off-road kind of dude, producing this pinot with indigenous rather than factory-prepared yeasts from vines on unirrigated soil, which forces the root system deep into the soil for more complex nutrients and stronger plant. It's also bottled without clarification or filtering, so try not to be put off by the naturally opaque, vaguely cloudy appearance; it's all good.
I've long been a fan of Palliser Estate. The Palliser Estate Pinot Noir 2006 ($28.95, No. 120766) is a pinot that sits somewhere between the austere Burgundian style and the fruity seduction of sunnier New World regions such as California's Russian River Valley. It's medium bodied, with ripe berry-like flavour studded with a spice nuance reminiscent of clove. Good concentration and perfect acidity.
Most Burgundian of all is Carrick Pinot Noir 2006, also from Central Otago ($39.95, No. 919837). Another product of wild yeasts, this wine is soft and round, with very good flavour concentration thanks to a warm growing season. Rich berry flavours get a nice complement from a nuance of dark chocolate.
Beyond the pinots, I want to mention two other reds from this coming Saturday's launch in Ontario.
In the very-good category is CJ Pask Gimblett Road Cabernet Merlot Malbec 2006 ($19.95, No. 120816). There's an attractive earthiness in this cool-climate red that's hard to find in similar blends from hotter Australia. Medium-bodied, it shows nuances of cherry, tobacco and damp earth, with fine-grained tannins that add interest to the texture and may give this wine a few years of cellar staying power.
And a wine that has me wondering whether syrah might be New Zealand's Next Big Grape is Elephant Hill Syrah 2008 ($23.95, No. 121673). There's a tarry, leathery, licorice-like essence to this wine that I love. Good peppery spice and acidity for liveliness and balance, too. It reminds me of a good Crozes-Hermitage, a syrah-based red from France's northern Rhone Valley. New Zealand run by the French?
The annual spring New Zealand Wine Fair takes place tomorrow at the Design Exchange in Toronto, and in Calgary May 26 and Vancouver May 28. More than 40 wineries will pour samples. For more information call 1-888-9939927 or visit NZWine-events.ca.

Find a certified antiques appraiser by searching professional organization websites, such as the American Society of Appraisers, Appraisers Association of America and International Society of Appraisers, for a list of members and their contact information. Appraisers are not licensed, so maintaining a membership or certification with an appraisal society is one way appraisers demonstrate their commitment to professional standards and ethics.
The American Society of Appraisers has the most in-depth search engine for finding appraisers and is the largest professional organization in the United States. The search features allows you to look for appraisers in your area by ZIP code, state, province or territory. It also allows you to search for appraisers who have a specific discipline, who belongs to a certain industry or who has a listed American Society of Appraisers specialty. The search engine also allows you to search for specific appraisers, so you can find out if they are certified.
You can also narrow the search to appraisers who are experienced as expert witness in court proceedings, who can serve as Internal Revenue Service appraisers or who have experience appraising items for a relationship dissolution, like divorce. The American Society of Appraisers also lets you find appraisers who offer online appraisals or appraisers who reject fee assignments.
Once the search is complete, the website returns a table of appraisers that includes their name, discipline, specialty, location and a link to their profile. The full profile offers the email address, street address, phone number and website of the appraiser, so you can easily contact the appraisers you find.

NEW LEBANON (AP) — An electrical engineer from southwest Ohio says he is running as an Independent for the seat being vacated by retiring Republican U.S. Senator George Voinovich.
The 41-year-old Eric Deaton of New Lebanon announced Friday that he has launched his campaign.
Deaton says both the Democratic and Republican parties have shown their inability to lead and that it is time to send working-class, citizen politicians to Washington.
Former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman and northeast Ohio car dealer Tom Ganley are seeking the GOP nomination for Voinovich's seat. Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner seek the Democratic nomination.
New Lebanon is about 10 miles west of Dayton.

Burmese Cat
Burmese Cat
The Burmese is a strong, sporty cat that holds a surprising amount of weight considering its size.
Burmese coats are short, silky, and very low-maintenance. Despite their relative heaviness, they are elegant and graceful cats with strong muscles and good bone structure. They come in a variety of colours, including sable, champagne, platinum and blue. They have wide-set, large eyes ranging between yellow and amber.
Burmese cats can weigh up to 5.5 kg and can live beyond the age of 15 years old.
The Burmese Cat originated in Burma (known today as Myanmar), though its exact origins are not known for sure. There is a mention of a copper-coloured Burmese-like cat in the ancient Thai Cat Book, written between 1350 and 1767.
The modern cat was founded by Dr Joseph Thompson in 1939 who imported a small, brown female cat to San Francisco. This cat, named Wong Mau, was bred with a Seal Point Siamese and their offspring were the ancestors of the modern Burmese breed.
The breed was developed in Britain in the late 19th century but eventually died out, before experiencing a revival in the 1950s.
As of 2013, according to the Cat Fanciers Association, the Burmese ranks as the 16th most popular breed of cat.
Burmese Cats, like their Siamese ancestors, are intelligent and social cats, though tend to be less talkative than Siamese. They are very playful cats and love being around their family. Almost like dogs, Burmese cats want to be involved in every aspect of their owners' lives – they'll follow you around while you do chores, cook meals and watch television. They have been known to even win over "dog people" because of their tendency to shower guests with attention and affection.
They don't do well when left alone for a long time, unless they have another pet to keep them company. They get along well with children and other pets and make great companions for the whole family.
- Lipemia of the Aqueous Tumor
This refers to a milky appearance on a kitten's eyes which will usually resolve by itself.
- Corneal Dermoid
Corneal dermoid refers to skin and/or hair which grows over the surface of the cornea. It can be corrected with surgery.
- Orofacial Pain Syndrome
When the cat is stressed, it may experience pain in its face and will lick, chew, or paw at the mouth frequently to try and reduce the discomfort. The cause is unknown, but medication can be prescribed to help manage the pain, and some cats may be made to wear collars to prevent them from hurting their faces.
- Congenital Peripheral Vestibular Disease
This is characterised by poor balance, head tilting, rapid eye movement, lack of coordination and possibly deafness in kittens.
- Burmese Head Defect
Burmese head defect is a craniofacial deformity causing incomplete or abnormal formation of the skull. It drastically reduces the quality of life of the cat. Carriers of the defective gene should not be bred.
- Hypokalaemic Polymyopathy
Hypokalaemic polymyopathy is a muscle weakness resulting from a lack of potassium in the blood. Symptoms include weakness, stiffness in the legs, reluctance to walk and tremors. It can be treated with potassium supplements.
- Flat-Chested Kitten Syndrome
This is a deformity which can prevent the development of the chest/ribcage. Kittens who survive into adulthood generally show no signs.
- Other Issues
Burmese cats may also be prone to kinked tail (a tailbone deformity which does not cause pain or discomfort), elbow osteoarthritis, endocardial fibroelastosis (a heart condition causing a thickening of the left ventricle and stretching the heart), dilated cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart) and diabetes.
- The Thai name for the Burmese Cat translates to "beautiful, fortunate and of splendid appearance".
- Burmese are sometimes referred to as a "brick wrapped in silk" due to their stocky yet delicate form.
- Male and female Burmese Cats can tend to be quite different. Females are very curious, active and emotional, while males are more relaxed and lazy.

Bitch Media is nonprofit organization based in Portland OR, best known for publishing the magazine, Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture. Bitch Media's mission is to provide and encourage an engaged, thoughtful feminist response to mainstream media and popular culture.
We seek to be a fresh, revitalizing voice in contemporary feminism, one that welcomes complex arguments and refuses to ignore the contradictory and often uncomfortable realities of life in an unequivocally gendered world.

Bitch has a diverse audience, which keeps the dialogue and the movement we're a part of dynamic and strong. But Bitch is also uniquely situated to draw in young readers who are at a critical moment in their lives—a moment when they are discovering feminism and activism, finding answers to who they are, and questioning the definitions of gender, sexuality, power and agency prescribed by the mainstream media. Bitch not only plays a role in exploring these topics, it also provides a toolkit for engaging in analysis that promotes activism and impels social change.

Sony's PlayStation Store is to become available in Korean again after a 10-month outage.
The platform holder was forced to take the storefront offline as local laws state that users under 18 must not be asked to enter their real name or age when registering for an online service.
As these details are mandatory when registering for a PSN account, Sony was forced to make alterations to the service when the laws came into effect on July 1.
The Korean PlayStation Store is now restricted to users over 18, and requires them to register a credit card to verify their age.
As an apology to users affected by the 10-month outage, Sony is offering one free month of PlayStation Plus access.
The PlayStation Store will resume operation in Korea on May 16.

|THE game database
|A very funny site, with a little something extra...
|This site has a message board for every gaming subject you can think of.
|Sometimes more "Friek" than "Spiel", this is the main Yahoo group dedicated to the "Games"
|An excellent site detailing upcoming releases, especially German.
|Bruno Faidutti's Games
|Agree or disagree with his opinions, this Pizula favorite designer writes an entertaining review
|The older group discussion....dating back to the early '90s. Look here for discussion topics on older games
|A monthly web-letter by Greg Aleknevicus (try saying that name five times..).
|Spotlight On Games!
|A pretty amazing collection of reviews and data on games, accumulated by Rick Heli.
|A quarterly newsletter, with the web-zine lagging one or two issues behind...this one is by Peter Sarrett
|Board Games
|Erik Arneson runs this site for About.com. I changed my mind about this site...it's actually pretty good.
|Larry Levy, a regular Spielfriek and contributor to the Games Journal, has put together an interesting site - although not updated.
|An old site, now being regularly updated after a long hiatus.
|Everything you ever wanted to know about Wargames, but were afraid to ask!
|Chris Farrell's BLOG
|Chris, a former gaming buddy of DaveO in the Bay Area, is opinionated but I find myself agreeing with more often than not.
|A newer site where games can be played on-line (so it's not just a clever name!). Also has good up-to-date news
|Some interesting content, and Matthew Gray has a nice gamelog and a pretty good game store search engine for those out of town jaunts.
|Mostly a site dedicated to CCG's, but there are some news nuggets to be mined here...
|The Game Cabinet
|Before the Geek, this was the source for English translations of German game rules
|Collectible Board Games
|Oddity site dedicated to antique games
On-Line Stores (in order of my totally subjective rating of them)
|NewSpiel - This store is by far the most improved on the list. 2 day delivery, great prices, and they stock the newest games (English versions only - sorry) right when they come out.
|Boulder Games - If these guys were on the west coast (they're in Georgia), they would be #1. Always seems to get games before anyone else, and the best pricees are here. Watch the shipping - I still think Newspiel is the best overall value because of proximity to us SoCal residents.
|Funagain - Absolutely mind-boggling inventory of imports (almost as good as DaveO, and he ain't selling!)...and the service is improving.
|Game Surplus - Decent Service, spotty inventory, great prices. Be prepared to wait 10 days if you use the cheapest delivery option.
|Gamefest - This relatively new store has some hard to get games, and the prices on the normal fare are pretty good. I placed one order, and got great service and quick delivery (They are in Seattle). This is also the new home of Rick Thornquist's (Terminal City Gamers) excellent news updates.
|Boards and Bits - These guys are also in Seattle. Site looks great, and they seem to be well stocked with the latest, but they are still an untried commodity for me. A decent selection of imports here also.
|Fairplay Games - Probably the best of the rest. Excellent selection of imports.
|Games Unlimited - I've gotten my games in 3 days, but the selection of German games is pretty thin.
|Homer Games - Excellent source for wargames. They were the only ones in the U.S. I could find with Phalanx' A House Divided and Waterloo.
|German Games - Don't let the Canadian dollars fool you - the prices are not that bad in US$. Lots of imports.
|Jogo Canada - Ordered Trans America 5/15, received 5/23. Not bad for coming from Canada...and they were the only ones in North America I could find that had the game at that time.
|Bunker Hill Games - Another great source for wargames - cheaper then Homer...
|Noble Knight Games - A source for both new and used games, specializing in out of print games - both german and wargames
|LeValet - Another Canadian game company...this one seems to have the best stock. Prices are great, deliveries are two weeks. I found Knizia's Palmyra here for $20.
|Fine Games - The web site is a jumbled mess - basically a big database/ With a little work, however, you can find most anything you want
|RC Hobbies and Games
|RPG Shop - You might be surprised...
|Sundown Games - "Ships in 4 days"? Give me a break.
|Boardgames.com - Retail prices
On-Line Game Sites
|Java Settlers - The best Settlers on-line.
|More Java Games - This time RA, E & T, and Medici. These allow Net Play - you cannot play the computer. You will have to install Java Web Start, if you haven't already
|For Whom The Web Rocks - Games include Euphrat & Tigris, Carcassonne, Puerto Rico, Samurai, Through the Desert, Acquire, RA, and Torres
|Paris Paris - A pretty cool new on-line version of the Michael Schacht game.
|Klear Games - check out this page for an excellent version of Knizia's Samurai...with more board game ports to come..
|Through the Desert - You will need to register, but it might be worth it!
|Colossus - Here's an on-line version of the Avalon Hill game Titan
|Geo's Thoth Games - Play many two-player games here, including Lost Cities, Samurai, Kahuna, and many others. The graphics look great, and there are more games coming!
|Jimmy's Thoth Page - This one has Thoth modules for Street Soccer, Formula De, En Garde.
|Society of Internet Strategy Gamers - A site devoted to PBEM games
|Java Medici - Unfortunately, this link no longer works
|Games On Board - Kahuna works great here, Modern Art seems to. Tigris and Euphrates is dead (unfortunately).
|Cyberboard - A site listing all available cyberboard modules (for PBEM wargames)
|Taj Mahal - It's working...and it is INCREDIBLE! This is a must check out...
|BrettSpielWelt BSW Help BSW Rules
Club Sites
|Socalgamers - This is a group started by Patrick Havert and Steve Williams, and has grown into a regular monthly meeting at All-Star Games in Diamond Bar. It began as a wargaming group, but now anything and everything is played.
|SoCal Games Day - Sponsors of a roughly bi-monthly all-day gaming session in Montrose, CA, or lately in the Valley.
|Terminal City Gamers - These guys are based in Vancouver, BC. The site is excellent, with great session reports, links, and even interviews!
|Westbank Gamers - If you can stomach Greg Schloesser, you will get a heaping helping here! In all fairness, the site is excellent for a club site.
|Westside Spielers - DaveO's former SoCal group....it does not get updated very often (and DaveO has been taken off of the list!). Fellow wargamer and frequent PBEM opponent Paul Majoram hangs out here.
|San Fernando Valley Game Group - Another local SoCal group. They tend toward the lighter side
|Dan Becker - Excellent reviews here
|Got Dice - These guys are in Chicago
|Houston Gamers - Guess where?
|TNGers - This group claims Jay Tummelson of Rio Grande Games
|The Goblin's Lair - This one is in Italy! This is an excellent club site, with bio's, game reviews, ratings of gaming links (including OCBG!).
