Peak Veterinary Referral Center makes a difference in the lives of pets and the people who love them.
I found a baby bird, bunny, or other wild animal. What do I do now?
Peak Veterinary Referral Center was founded on the principles of providing advanced veterinary medicine, outstanding patient care, compassion for patients and owners, and excellence in service and communications for our referring veterinarians. Many of you are familiar with the high quality of medicine and compassion of service practiced by the doctors of Peak. It is our commitment to you to exceed your expectations in the future.
At Peak Veterinary Referral Center, we understand the importance of the relationship between a client and their primary care veterinarian. We strive for the highest standard of communication with the referring veterinarian through every step of the diagnostic and treatment program of your pet. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any concerns or questions.
We believe that pet owners in Vermont deserve an outstanding multi-specialty referral hospital. To meet this goal, we constructed a 14,000 sq. ft. hospital in 2011 located immediately off exit 12 in Williston, Vermont. Peak Veterinary Referral Center provides state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatments and 24-hour care for hospitalized patients seven days a week. In addition, CT is available at Peak as needed (24/7).
We are very pleased with Willy’s treatment and recovery from cruciate ligament surgery. We got a thorough description of the injury, why and how it most likely occurred, an explanation of the options for treatment and the likely outcomes and excellent instructions for caring for him during his recovery. At two months following surgery, he’s accompanying us on walks in the woods, getting into and out of the car with no assistance and jumping up on our bed for his daytime naps. Thank you very much.
I thought I would just reach out for a quick Puck update. He is doing amazing, in great spirits, and was able to join me for the last two days on the Long Trail, which we just finished up yesterday! It made my heart so full to have him be able to summit Jay Peak (in the wind and rain), sleep in the tent, and hike it to Canada the next day… all while wagging and chasing sticks. Endless thanks for the care you and the team at Peak have given him – words can’t express how much I appreciate it. I am so grateful to have my adventure dog back, and so relieved that the hardest parts are behind us. A few months ago I would have never seen this happening. We can’t wait for the adventures ahead!
Thank you so much for everything you all have done for us and our boy!
I was reluctant to put my dog through the process of the tie back procedure for his laryngeal paralysis however after meeting Dr. Schulz and experiencing the high level of professionalism of all the staff at Peak Veterinary Referral Center, I felt more at ease with electing the surgery. The most noticeable observation about the quality of care was how my dog felt comfortable and trusted all the staff there. It is almost as if he knew he was in good hands. The surgery was a success and he has come through with flying colors! He is back to his old self and has an extension on his life thanks to all the excellent care he has received. Thanks for offering such awesome care.
Sarge gained 3 years of mobility thanks to the surgery you performed to add the plate to his leg. I will always be so grateful for the success of that operation and the gift of such a wonderful surgeon. It was a pretty remarkable recovery and a risky choice, but Sarge was so patient and strong.
Thank you for this gift. It is a hard adjustment when you lose such an important part of your life. He was my anchor. But we had so many years of love and adventure.
Thank you for your part in Sargeant’s life.
Thanks for your time and compassion on Monday. You were a wonderful doctor and quite patient while we processed what was best for Stormy. I can only hope I am good to my patients as you are.
Juneau is doing great! Yay! Thank you, thank you, for your good work and care of both my dog and me. I never thought he would be doing so well after his horrible encounter with a truck. We are both MUCH BETTER! You fixed that multi-busted rear femur and helped Veremedy heal up his ankle wound.
You were so kind to me, too with all my nervous little questions, even bringing me a nice hot cup of coffee as I processed the shock of looking at Juneau post-surgery.
We went to Maine last weekend and played on the beach. Juneau, believe it or not, had never been in the waves before. He’s a rowdy thing so after one or two run-aways, he was STOKED to PLAY!
Thanks to everyone that helped bring our young lady home! She is doing fantastic and being treated as the Queen she is.
I thank you so much for your help in saving my best friend!!! You have given us the priceless gift of more time together!!!
staff from the people at the front desk to the support staff and of course YOU the doctor and surgeon have not only cared for Kita but also for us, her family!!! You were always available with updates and information throughout the entire process day or night. You gave us the gift of knowing, regardless of the outcome, that she was in the best possible hands that she could be in.
We want to say thank you for everything you did for Izzy, she truly was a very special girl. She fought a tough battle to the end. You ALL were so good to her and to us and we will never forget that. Please keep up your great work in helping others with their babies! Saying goodbye is so hard, you all showed us such comfort and support at the end, again thank you. Izzy is in our hearts and will always be with us.
Hey Kurt – wanted to say thanks for your wonderful care of our Newfoundland, Diesel – here he is taking second place in his class at Newfie Nationals this May , and you’ll recognize the other guy – he handled him to Best of Breed in Canada a couple weeks ago. Thanks for the happy ending ..we appreciate everything you and your team did for us.
Thank you so much for everything, we really appreciated out experience with you. You were so warm, inviting, compassionate and genuinely interested in both our well being. We couldn’t have asked for more.
We want to thank all of you for taking the best care of Gracie. As you all know she is one of our family members, and you treated her as such. Thank you Dr. Schultz for working so quickly. Time was the key in Gracie‚ recovery. Each and everyone was caring, compassionate, and attentive. Gracie is dong so well. She is back to her playful self. So full of energy and it only been 5 weeks! You are in our daily thoughts.
Just a note to let you know Earl is doing so well. He limped after surgery, on lead most of the time, for 3 months. He has exercised regularly and walks with us a lot. Earl isn’t limping at all now. About October we let him run freely and he improved since then.
I just wanted to thank you all again — especially Johanna and Dr. Schulz — for the care you provided for my cat Agua over the last couple weeks.
We’re back in DC. I took Agua up to see Dr. Lotsikas yesterday. He removed some of the stitches, and I have an appointment here in town with my usual vet to get the rest removed next week.
I really appreciated the referral to Dr. Lotsikas. He spoke highly of Dr. Schulz as a mentor and colleague. Thanks so much for the referral.
You all have been great. I’m thrilled that we got clean margins on her surgery – I was worried there for a few days, watching what looked like a new tumor growing on her jaw. But Dr. Lotsikas decided that it’s just residual tissue being pushed together by the sutures. So hopefully, fingers crossed, we’re done with squamous cell carcinoma.
Agua is curled up on my desk while I work today. She is wearing her cone for another week or 10 days, much to her chagrin. But I keep telling her, it could be a lot worse.
You gave Heidi back her legs, and you gave us back our friend. We are very grateful to you all. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and thank you very much!
This note is to thank you once again for all the care you, your colleagues, and staff gave to our Bear during the 24+ hours he was with you. I truly appreciate the time you spent with us and your unending patience as I asked the same questions multiple times! Between your skills as a doctor, I know Bear couldn’t have been in better hands. Again many thanks to your wonderful staff.
I wanted to personally thank you all for the extraordinary care you provided for my Calli! Because of your efforts and expertise I feel Calli will lead a full and active lifestyle!
More importantly each of you exhibit a genuine care and concern for Calli during and after her surgery along with an acute understanding of the emotional stress I was going through for a much loved member of my family.
It was well worth the ride from New Hampshire and I would highly recommend Kurt and team to anyone who seeks the best in veterinarian surgical care.
With respect and gratitude always.
We dreaded Sheena’s surgery but after meeting the staff and talking to Dr. Kurt we knew she was in good hands. When we picked her up the next day the same courtesy was extended to us. All staff was interested in answering questions and making sure we understood post surgery care.
We have recommended your facility to friends and family knowing they will be as pleased as we have been.
I want to thank Dr. Schulz and his staff for the exceptional care you provided for our Sandi. Because of your expertise Sandi can now lead a normal active lifestyle. You made this extremely stressful and upsetting time so much easier by showing that you really cared.
Thank you very much for taking such excellent care of Lawrance! We feel very fortunate to have such a renown surgeon in our backyard. It is very comforting to know that Lawrance is in your care.
We could just kiss you… For taking such good care of our Dad.
We promise to watch over him as he heals. Words cannot begin to express our gratitude for your loving and healing care… for all of us.
Today we brought the staff doughnuts from a local bakery (Rambachs) in Plattsburgh, NY. They are called Yum-Yums, after you taste them, you will figure out how they came up with the name. They represent a small token of our appreciation and are given in honor of Moe. We have lived near Plattsburgh for 13 years and until recently was unaware of the existence of Peak Vet Referral Center, which I think was a good thing. We had 4 dogs: Bailey (Border Collie), Sadie (Black Lab), Moe (Golden) and Teddy (Golden). Over the past four weeks all of our dogs except for Teddy have made a visit to the facility.
We have interacted with the following groups/departments: Receptionist, Client Services, Radiology, Surgery, Nursing, Oncology and Ophthalmology. Just like every client that walks through your doors, we love our pets as you see they are not simply dogs, they are our dogs, our family and an important part of what make us The Browns.
Bailey’s visit was the most straight forward for us, as it was primarily a follow-up from the care given by our local Vet. Sadie-was a bit more complicated, as she is now our Tripawd and is doing well. Moe-Most likely had Hemangiosarcoma, that was just very recently displaying symptoms and we had to make a very difficult decision that all pet owners must eventually make.
Without exception, at every turn, every Colleague from every department treated our dogs and us with the utmost respect and display of professionalism. We asked many questions in-person and over the phone to help us make the best decisions. Not only did individuals take the time to talk with us, sometimes just to sit with us as we waited for more information or waited for the surgery to be completed. At no time did we ever feel hurried or rushed. Even at our worst of times, it appeared that everyone knew what was going on with us and realized how difficult of a time we were having once the final decision was made. The support and sympathy displayed to us was readily visible.
A quick story about Moe: Our eldest son, Matthew brought home a dozen Krispy Kremes . He had one that evening, and placed the box on the island in the kitchen. The next morning, that box which was now empty was at the top of the stairs next to Moe who was licking the box, happy as a clam.
We know Moe will be looking down on each of you hoping that crumbs are dropped on the floor, or grab one when you are not looking. Our only request is to make sure that Kurt has at least one and that he takes one home to his wife.
Many thanks for all that you do each and every day and have done for our family.
Even though we still have a long road ahead of us (that Max would like to run, but is only allowed to walk : )) We are optimistic and are hoping for long x-country ski tours with him again next year!
Thank you so much for all the expert medical help for Ben and, just as important, the wonderful loving care all gave him as well as the understanding and comfort I received!
Thanks for your good care for little Sascha. She’s doing great!
A small token of my appreciation for your extraordinary service and caring for Tasha. My husband and I are just so impressed with your warmth and compassion. Thank you so much!
The folks at Essex Vets suggested I should send you a photo of Logan and let you know how great she is doing, so in case they are correct, here is a photo of her jumping at the recent BOTC trial at the Shelburne Field House. I apologize that it isn’t a better photo. Logan’s TPLO was late June last year. She went back to agility class about as soon as you cleared her to do so. We continued with PT for a while. She started trialing again in December, in Jumpers and FAST, and got Qualifying scores consistently, so I moved her up from Open jumpers to Excellent. She finished her jumpers Excellent title at the BOTC trial 2 weeks ago. Dr. Miguel (Francois) checked her out on Friday (regular check up and boosters) and said that he doesn’t think she is experiencing any pain or problems with that knee or leg. We are looking forward to when the water in the lakes is warm enough to get her swimming again.
We are truly grateful to you and to Nancy, and to the very fine staff at PEAK, and we tell everyone about your excellent work on Logan.
Words cannot express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding attention given to our little girl, “Ginger”, 8/1 through 8/18. She has been home a little over two weeks and is recuperating wonderfully. Our thanks again for the warm, professional attention, the nice gifts from the staff and the beautiful Get Well card from Remy, (it’s on our ‘fridge). May God Bless You All!
Thank you for the wonderful care you have given to Honey and me. You were always friendly and compassionate- not always busy in your occupation. We will always remember your kindness and understanding.
Ellen and I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for taking such good care of Gus during his recent surgeries. We really appreciate how easy you made an otherwise stressful experience for us. Gus is doing well, and we would certainly be happy about coming back for further care if needed in the future. Again, our many thanks.
I am happy to report that George is doing wonderfully on 3 legs and is back to his delicious, happy, goofy (he even runs!), spirited, playful self!!! We are so happy! Thank you for your patience and understanding with me as I came to terms with George’s different issues and challenges. The whole way through chemo to surgery…We knew we were in caring and super capable hands.
To you I send most heartfelt thanks. I am not certain that you will ever realize how much I appreciate the kindness that you and Dr. Murray have extended to me and my sweet companion, Charlotte. She means the world to me. She gets me out of bed and out of the house and together we enjoy life. She came to me one year ago out of the blue from halfway around the world (Guam) via a friend that knew I really needed to have Charlotte in my life and that Charlotte needed me, too. It has been a match made in heaven. I am very fortunate. Thank you so very much for fitting us into your busy schedule and for performing her rescue surgery. It has been a tough month for us both but she has been a great sport and I see her getting stronger every day. Your generosity of spirit will never be forgotten. I hope to return the favor somehow, someday.
Thank you for the compassionate care and treatment of Maija, our Finnish Spitz. She is recovering beautifully and as her breathing has been corrected, her personality has perked up and she is her old self again, even jumping in her favorite chair, which she had been too exhausted to try for the past several months.
The competence, reassurance and attention that we received made a scary experience much less so.
Cheery Chewing in the New Year to everyone at Peak Veterinary.
Thank you so much for taking such WONDERFUL care of our Princess Lily and her invisibility cloak. Y’all immediately understood her nature and loved on her the way we do at home. Knowing she was in y’all’s hands gave us great piece of mind. I could not imagine taking her anywhere else for surgery. See you for round 2!
PS Thank you for letting me hang out all day and for the updates!
This is a much over-due update on our “Allie”. Allie is great, she has the life she loved! She still swims once a week and does well with her ROM exercises (falls asleep).
When we started increasing our training Dr. Payson said, “If she’s tired or just doesn’t want to do something, “Stop”. Allie has no “Stop” button, as I have to make the decision when to stop.
Last summer Allie had to have 2 other surgeries. One did slow us down and was not able to enter her in any trials until the end of September. Unfortunately it started raining so she was only able to run in one event. I couldn’t take the chance of her falling on the wet equipment or grass so I withdrew her.
We are presently getting ready for our first trial at the end of April. “Wish us luck!” Please tell everybody I said “thank you” for all the support they gave us while we were there. You have a great staff.
Thank you for saving our little girl!
Some years ago, you did bilateral arthroscopy on my Labrador Merlin. Your advice was “let him be a dog” Some of the best advice I’ve ever gotten. Merlin completed his Agility Trial Championship in February!!! Not bad for a dog with bilateral elbows. He’s 9 now, you did the surgery at 14 months. He’s still sound, still competing in Agility, Rally, Barn Hunt, Hunt Tests, and Obedience.
A long thank you for all you did for Sugar Magnolia. Your care and concern was unparalleled in my experience. This includes medical doctors. Finn and I were constantly astounded by your phone calls to check-in and I appreciated your discussing the various differential dx with me. In our book, you are tops and can’t thank you enough.
I hope you & your family are all well.
A big shout out to the whole staff at Peak , we came with such concern and worry about our 12 year old chocolate lab Joey and were put at such ease and taken incredible care of from everyone from the front desk to the back of the house . You see Joey isn’t just another dog, he came into our lives after a terrible tragedy, our 6 month old chocolate lab Ben was hit and killed in front of our house and we were so devastated, our only other lab Emma at the time was 5 and went into a Great Depression. But low and behold Joey came alone , filled some very big shoes , has been a trooper all his life and with the help of the whole staff at peak they have given us more time then we ever could of hoped for with our special angel of a boy. You guys are the greatest, and we can never thank you enough . Woof woof.

It’s from 1960, as D magazine explains.
Why did Ruby kill Lee Harvey Oswald? Here’s what a friend said.
I was intrigued by advance notice of Mark Shaw’s new book, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much, both because its subject, pioneering journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, and the medi credentials of author Mark Shaw.
Dorothy Kilgallen was one of the first female syndicated columnist in U.S. newspapers after World War II. After JFK was killed she broke a big stories about Jack Ruby, the assassin of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
From The Advocatee — Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a fun obituary of an unrepentant crook with a delicious name, Frenchy Brouillete.
Marcello’s name cropped up in various JFK assassination theories, and a House Select Committee report in 1979 mentioned “credible associations relating both Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby to figures having a relationship, albeit tenuous, with Marcello’s crime family or organization.” In the Randazzo book published last year, Brouillette describes Ruby — who killed presumed Kennedy assassin Oswald — as “another Marcello family goombah.
“I’m an investigative reporter but I’ve always loved plays,” says Hillel Levin. The result is “Assassination Theater,” Levin’s investigative drama about the murder of President John F. Kennedy, now playing at the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago.
Focusing on Chicago FBI agent Zach Shelton, the four-man drama develops a “Mafia did it” interpretation of JFK’s assassination, along with excursions into the medical evidence and the life of Jack Ruby.
It is unusual territory for a stage drama.
Opening August 11, the play was written by editor/author Hillel Levin. He blames the Chicago organized crime figures for the Kennedy’s death. Levin says the play will bring new information to light proving his claim.
Hal Hendrix was one of those respectable figures who hovered on the edge of the JFK assassination story. He was a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist whose service to the CIA is well-documented (though blandly denied in his recent Miami Herald obituary). He died Feb. 12 in Vero Beach, Florida. He was 92 years old.
Who was Hal Hendrix and what was his role in the JFK story?

When Jed Patrick Mabilog assumed office as City Mayor on June 30, 2010, he was filled with excitement and enthusiasm at being the first local chief executive to preside over the affairs of the LGU from his perch on the 7th floor — the top floor — of the new Iloilo City Hall building.
The project had broken ground in February 2010, or shortly before the May 10, 2010 elections, and he looked forward to moving into the new building by August 25 this year when the city commemorates its charter day anniversary. Hence, Mabilog was surprised to find out that the P368-million contract awarded to FF Cruz and Co./Freyssinet Filipinas Joint Venture only covered the “shell structure” of the building.
Apparently, Mabilog kept his puzzlement to himself. He was afraid to confront his predecessor, former City Mayor, and now Congressman, Jerry P. Trenas. And instead of trying to expose the glaring irregularity, he set into motion his own scheme to fleece the project by padding the cost estimates for the completion of the building.
First, it was just a cover-up. It didn’t take long before a nefarious plan was hatched to defraud the taxpayers of Iloilo City by as much as P300 million from this single project and deliver an exorbitantly-priced P710-million City Hall.
But the timely objections raised by the Iloilo media, notably Iloilo Press Club president Rommel S. Ynion, appears to have stopped the second phase of the unending robbery in broad daylight. With the Commission on Audit making known its disapproval of the plan to award the second contract to FFCCI/FF JV through negotiated procurement, the Mabilog is now sounding the retreat bugle to avoid being mired in a messy corruption case.
Will Mabilog’s withdrawal from his grand scheme extricate him from corruption charges? My answer is “no”. The gravity of his offenses might be mitigated, but he will find it hard to get out of the quicksand. The conspiracy theory is plastered all over the place, like “post-it” notes on every square inch of a wall. As the Revised Penal Code puts it, “the act of one is the act of all.” The cover-up is what will drag Mabilog down in this mess, even though the “consummated crimes” happened in the previous administration.
Mabilog can’t feign ignorance or disavow any participation. The mere fact that he didn’t squeal the moment he discovered that it wasn’t a finished City Hall that’s being built ties him to the anomaly. The anti-graft and corrupt practices act punishes both “sins of commission” and “sins of omission”.
It’s the city’s great misfortune to see its major infrastructure projects mired in anomalies and scandals. The Pavia housing project mess has resulted in over P150 million in losses — vanished into thin air — for the city. Nobody has yet been prosecuted for this scam. There’s hardly a big transaction involving the city government that’s not tainted with scandal. The purchases of relocation sites are notorious for overpricing and not-so-hidden commissions. And now the City Hall project is caught in a big storm of controversy.
What’s more surprising is that deafening silence from local leaders regarding this scandal. It’s as if nothing is happening. People are treating this like an ordinary traffic accident. Only the media is taking up the cudgels. What’s worse, the officials involved are keeping quiet, and have even launched a black propaganda campaign against journalists pursuing the story.
I can sense that the general public is watching the issue closely. They are not inclined to march in the streets just yet. They want to hear the side of Mabilog and Trenas. Well, the media, too, wants to get the side of media. But as things are going, that’s not likely to happen anytime soon. It’s obvious they are hunkering down deep in their trenches, praying the storm would soon leave, and the situation will return to normal.
The COA and the Ombudsman should be taking notes as the controversy rages. What I have been reporting on are based on statements from knowledgeable experts based on their understanding of the law, and the available facts. The media is providing them the leads; all they need to do is pursue those leads using the vast powers of their agencies.
Manuel "Boy" Mejorada is a journalist and social media activist. A former Iloilo provincial administrator, he is now waging a crusade against corruption and narco-politics.

Join us for a private tour of the Cantor Arts Center’s Rodin Collection. This installation spans three galleries and the Rodin Sculpture Garden, featuring nearly 100 sculptures representing Rodin’s groundbreaking engagement with the human body. The largest collection of sculptures by Rodin in an American museum, it also presents comparative works by his rivals, mentors, admirers and imitators.
After the tour, join us for a private lunch with your fellow Dickinsonians in the area. Vina Enoteca is a nearby full-service Italian restaurant and bar. Vina brings the rustic charm of Italy to the Silicon Valley with food that warms the soul in a setting unlike any other. We hope you’ll join us for both of these events, but feel free to join us for one or the other. Space at both events is limited. Register by April 26.

When I get home from work, I'm on it for 8+ hrs and then back to work and then back to the gamecube... I know... lame.
My gf tells me all the time.
I'm playing the new zelda. It is sooo addicting!
I have played and beat ALL the other zelda games. From the original nintendo, super, 64, gameboy and now gamecube. Its really the main reason why I get the nintendo platform.
I think this has got to be by far the BEST one they have come out with yet!
The storyline is good, graphics are breathtaking and nice little challenges. I like games within games.
Has anyone played/beat it yet? How do/did you like it?
I also got a couple other games that are pretty cool.
Need for Speed Underground is off the heezie.
SSX 3 is pretty cool, but only played it a bit cause I've been getting into the other games.
I was thinking bout getting the True Crime and Metal of Honor Rising Sun after I'm done with a couple of these. I love the FPS and GTA type games.
Any other games that you'd recommend?
Sorry, I'm rambling.... the end of the year is very slow around work. Nobody is here!
Zelda was a very slick/smooth game. I was disappointed by the perpetual kid and the apparent fascination with adding all the 'gay' characters in there... Tinkle, the pirates, etc. I liked the content of Ocarina of Time better, but the graphics and general smoothness of Windwalker were phenomenal.
I liked Super Metroid Prime alot, kinda tedious at times, but a very good game.
NCAA Football 2004 is a very good game if you like sports. Very great deal of attention payed to 130+ teams...very slick IMHO.
Play SSX3, it is an amzing game. I bought the original SSX when it was released and didn't play it for a month because I wasnt sure I would like a snowboarding game. Well after a month I found it to be the king of extreme sports games, and so addictive I wasted months of my life on it. Now we are at SSX3 and it remains as one of my favorites. I played it for 9 hours straight when released.
I was a little dissapointed with the newer Zelda game especially when they decided to use cell shading. But everything else makes up for it.
On the other hand I would have to say that Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles [ Which goes side-by-side with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for the GBA ] is by far one of the best games for the NGC right now. Great story line, beautiful graphics and overall a good game to play.
5] Metal Gear Solid : The Twin Snakes [ MSG Series is the best series of games that I have ever played next to the Final Fantasy Series.
Phishphreak80 if you own a gameboy advance you should try Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age, trust me you will be amaze at what that little thing can do. Especiall after you play those two games.
I know this sounds sad. but, spend more time with her. You don't know what you have until its gone.
I decided to treat myself to a Platinum GBA SP over the holidays and picked up Zelda: 4 Swords (I remember as a kid playing Legend of Zelda on the original Nintendo consoles). I also picked up OddWorld: Munch's Odessye. Agent_Steal, are there other games you'd recommend for GBA? I suspect I'll get through Zelda pretty quickly and will need something more to amuse myself..
We are actually getting a place together in the coming months. That should be interesting!
Oh, thanks everyone for your suggestions! I'll start getting some of those.
I have played/finished all of the Zelda games, from the first thru Ocarina of Time. Windwaker I hated, and just got bored with, so I never finished it. I thought it was awful.
I noticed someone mentioned Mario Party 4...there is a Mario Party 5 now. We got it for our son for Christmas, and have been playing it (all 3 of us) every night. It's a blast, I liked 4, but 5 blows it out of the water.
Another one that I've played/finished that I totally enjoyed was Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Totally awesome storyline, similar in a way to Zelda, and totally freaky. Lots and lots of fun, best game for gamecube I've come across.
My husbands favorite game is Minority Report.
i love ps2 and i like it better than gamecube i do however own a gamecube so a few suggestions i have would be madden 2004 i was watching the video game awards and it got game of the year and some games u mentioned true crime, medal of honor r all great games.

I know right? You just got here, you drove into the rain showers, and you were thinking; “Omg…is this my vacation???” You are supposed to see blue skies, breezes, normal summer showers…it is the beach.
As for us, we are off today and tomorrow!
I had a chance to catch up with friends at the Secotan market (love sneaking over there when I get blown out-read wind not rain). I grabbed my rain gear and bought just enough to go with the coffee and create some dinner this week before we go back on shift. This is the shake up that we have and all that was old will be NEW again. Inside/Outside it all goes back to square one as we regroup and head out. As we hit it, we will let you know!
Until then chill, get settled, don’t stress, and you are on vacation so leave the pressure at the foot of the bridge.
Thanks to those aboard as we have made some great friends and look forward to seeing you all again! Photos will be coming up for the trips already sailed.

Remember when I said a scene in a Cathay Pacific commercial was recognizable on a competing carrier’s advert? Well… this is it. From the first few seconds, the three flight attendants turn to the camera at the same time, and you see them helping passengers board a cabin full of comfy seats and overhead bins, and full course meals. Yet… this is not a Cathay Pacific ad. It’s not an airline ad actually! Surprising, eh?
Yes! I am surprised that’s it’s not an airline ad. Weird!

CSS selectors can be composed in various ways to give you more control over which page elements they select.
Conjunction. If you concatenate selectors without any spaces, it means that the matching element must satisfy all given selectors. This is generally used to refine the application of class or pseudo-class selectors. For example, we can write div.error in the style sheet and this will affect only the div tags that also have the class error. Similarly a:hover will only apply when the user moves their mouse over anchor tags. It might be tempting to specify multiple classes with .error.highlight. Even though this is part of the CSS standard, it does not work in older versions of Internet Explorer.
Descendant. Another possibility is to combine selectors with a space. This finds all elements that match the first term, then searches within each for descendant elements that match the second term (and so on). For example, div .error selects all the elements within a div tag that have the CSS class error. Elements that have the class error but no div tag as one of its parents, are not affected.
Child. Yet another possibility is to combine two selectors with >. For example, div > .error. This selects all the tags with the class error that are direct children of a div tag. Again this does not work in older versions of Internet Explorer.
There are a few more selectors available in modern web browsers to allow other criteria such as matching adjacent siblings. Since these selectors are not widely implemented in web browsers yet, we don’t discuss them here.

Many Americans mark the new year with parties with friends and family. Celebrations generally go on past midnight into January 1 (New Year’s Day). Here’s a look at some New Year’s Eve traditions in America.
An estimated 1 million people venture to Times Square in New York City to watch the New Year’s Eve Ball begin its descent a minute before midnight and to count down the final seconds before the new year begins. More than 1 billion people watch worldwide in a collective welcome to the new year as the illuminated Waterford crystal ball is lowered down a 21-meter pole. The ball weighs 5,400 kilograms and is 3.7 meters in diameter.
Roughly translated as “For the sake of old times,” Americans, and many in the English-speaking world, sing this old Scottish ballad near the midnight hour. The song is about old friendships and acts of kindness in years past, and is widely used to mark endings, farewells and new beginnings.
The tradition to kiss the first person you see at the stroke of midnight is rooted in German and English folklore. According to tradition, a favorable first encounter will set the tone for the rest of the year.
Americans in the Southern states believe that eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day will bring them good luck and wealth. Many Southerners prepare the pea stew with a new coin and the person who receives it in their portion is considered to be extra lucky. Adding cooked greens (the color of U.S. money) to a black-eyed pea dish symbolizes a prosperous new year.
Local fireworks displays, like the one above in San Francisco, are another favorite New Year’s Eve tradition. Other famous firework venues are in Dallas, Las Vegas and Walt Disney World In Orlando, Florida.

Adam Felesky is out as CEO of Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc. after almost 10 years in the role. Mirae Asset, owners of Horizons ETFs had little to say about the sudden departure except to thank Felesky for his service to the company and all the best in his future endeavours.
These are not the words used to describe an amicable or expected separation. With the rest of the management team remaining in place led by interim CEO and executive chairman Taeyong Lee, it’s possible Felesky fell on his sword for Horizons’ mediocre performance in recent months at a time when Vanguard has been feverishly gathering assets.
A year ago Vanguard’s AUM were $1.3 billion less than Horizons’. At the end of 2014 that gap narrowed to less than $600 million. Another year like this past one and Vanguard will easily surpass Horizons’ moving into third spot – well behind BMO and then BlackRock, easily Canada’s largest ETF provider.
So what went wrong at Horizons?
Once upon a time it was the star child on the Canadian ETF scene, offering the first leveraged funds available in this country. I’m sure Felesky would see it differently but its leveraged and actively managed ETFs really don’t fit into a box suited to where the industry appears to be headed.
Yesterday, WP discussed passive investing specifically highlighting the special qualities of Dimensional Fund Advisors, both in terms of the mutual funds it offers, but also in the way it does business. In 2014 the 150 or so advisors it chooses to do business with (you have to go through a thorough interview process) each brought in an average of almost $5 million in new money. That’s not assets under management but a year-over-year percentage increase likely in the high single digits or low-to-mid double digits.
In other words DFA did well.
The advisor community is looking for KISS-type products. No, we’re not talking about Gene Simmons’ band but rather those products that are simple to understand and easy to use when constructing a client’s portfolio.
We’re not saying Horizons’ products are bad in any way. It’s just that many of their funds are more elaborate than advisors seem willing to embrace.
So, why was Horizons’ CEO let go?

Yay! We’ve traversed another year around the sun. And I’m back with another Moz year-in-review post that promises to be as boring as its predecessors. Reading it feels like being locked in your tin can space capsule through lightyears of empty space. If you’re a little odd and like this kind of thing, do please continue.
Before we begin our odyssey, I invite you to check out previous reports: 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012. Transparency is a Moz core value. Putting detailed financial and customer data on the blog is one of the ways we live our values. We’re a little weird like that.
Okay spacepeople: take your protein pills and put your helmets on.
What a year! 2017 was a time of doing new things differently — new teams, new goals, and new ways of operating. I’m so proud of Mozzers; they can do anything. If I’m sent to a far-off space colony, I want them with me.
In spite of (and because of!) all this change, we grew revenue and became significantly EBITDA and cash flow positive. Nice! We have a nice economic engine primed and ready to make some more big investments in 2018. Stay tuned.
These positive results were not from one single thing. Rather, iterative product and operations improvements helped improve both our top and bottom line. Plus, we made a bunch of longer-term investments that don’t show up yet in the 2017 report but will bear fruit in 2018 and beyond.
Here’s a little more detail on some of the changes I talked about.
We launched Keywords By Site, relaunched our crawler (a major technical undertaking), sunsetted two products (content and Followerwonk), built a bunch of new developer tools and standardized on some dev frameworks, and improved our local data distribution network. Check out Adam Feldstein’s post for a lot more detail on our 2017 major product accomplishments!
We’ve got another exciting launch on the way, too. We’ve invested a ton of blood, sweat, and tears into it during 2017 and can’t wait to share it with everyone.
All of these changes support our 2016 strategy of “more wood behind fewer arrows.” We choose to focus our energy on being the best place to learn and do SEO. Our mission is to simplify SEO for everyone through software, education, and community.
For those of you worried about Followerwonk, it’s going to be okay. Better than okay. Our beloved “Work Dad” Marc Mims is now the proud father of Followerwonk! Marc’s dedication to the success of Followerwonk has never wavered over the many, many years he’s been building and maintaining it. We already miss his compassion, humor, and bike stories around the Mozplex. We wish him and Followerwonk the best! We bought that product because we loved it then; we love it even now. Sadly, though, it never quite fit with our mission as well as we'd hoped.
We created new programs to help people get the SEO help that’s right for them. We completely rebuilt our SEO Learning Center with fresh educational content. There’s a brand-new SEO podcast, MozPod, for you to check out.
We also began experimenting with and are now expanding SEO training workshops delivered by experts we trust and admire. I’m so excited about this because it’s a new way for Moz to have impact; it’s personal, live, interactive, and immediate in a way that most of our SEO education work can’t be. We won’t stop doing free, scalable education. It’s core to our beliefs. But it is fun to deliver custom, live training sessions in the mix too.
Many of our accomplishments are behind the scenes, and will deliver long-term positive impact.
Our investments in retiring tech debt, improving monitoring, investing in our development platforms, and nurturing our engineering culture have resulted in the most stable and performant software in Moz history. Our hard work and ingenuity is paying off in resilient and performant software.
We’ve also rebuilt most of our customer stack: new Salesforce implementation, HubSpot launch, new internal data warehouse, new CMS (Craft), Segment.io, and more! Phew! That’s a lot! In Q1 2018, we started with Terminus for Account-Based Marketing, and partnered with third-party data vendors, like Full Contact, to supplement our data warehouse. These big changes are going to set us up really well for the years ahead. And we’ve got more internal tools launching soon!
We are on a roll with internal improvements and momentum.
We could ship and launch until our circuits go dead, but at the end of the day all our work is in service of meeting your needs.
We know you can hear us! You’re following us now more than ever before.
Check out the infographic view of our data barf.
I’m proud of what we accomplished in 2017, especially considering the incredible amount of change in strategy and team structure. More revenue while spending less = magic! Also, the economic strength we’ve built will allow us to place some nice-sized bets this year. Boom!
We made $47.4 million in GAAP revenue in 2017, an increase of 11% from 2016.
We generated cash, positive EBITDA, and for the first time in recent Moz history, we were positive net income.
That’s quite a turnaround from 2016, in which we closed the year negative EBITDA of $5.7 million! We flipped EBITDA! We have adopted a cash-flow-neutral-to-positive operating philosophy right now to be ready for some future investments. We may decide to go cash flow negative again to fund further growth.
So, who is behind the wheel here?
We ended 2017 with roughly the same number of Mozzers as we began. It was a conscious choice to remain approximately headcount neutral in 2017; we only opened up new positions after ensuring rigorous conversations took place around the business need for the role. This discipline is hard to live under, but we like the results. We’re working smarter, and getting more rigorous in our decision-making.
See more at our Careers page!
Here’s where we need YOU: Moz is committed to bringing more women into tech. There is a dire lack of diversity in the technology industry. This past year we added 6% more women to the company overall and 9% to engineering specifically. We must and will do better. We need more women in engineering and leadership roles here. Check out those jobs above and join the team!
Moz partners with some fantastic organizations focused on getting more women into the tech pipeline. Ada Academy, Year Up, Ignite Worldwide, and Techbridge all encourage women and girls to pursue STEM careers early in their lives. Our newest partner, Unloop, enables people who have been in prison to develop skills and succeed in careers in tech. It is our responsibility to ensure that all people have opportunity and access to participate in STEM fields.
Generosity comes in many forms. One way in which we support the generosity of Mozzers is to match charitable donations to 501c3 organizations by 150%.
We also donated our space 35 times to various organizations in the community requesting to use the Mozplex as a venue for their meetups. Check our our event brochure and take a 360 tour of the Mozplex!
Mozzers also donate a ton of time to causes they are passionate about. We also offer a very discounted price for nonprofits that we’re happy many folks take advantage of. We’re passionate about communities and helping folks.
Moz partnered with Halo Partners to provide professional coaching to all employees. 54 Mozzers received coaching. 27 Mozzers used this benefit for the first time! I’m a huge believer in coaching and training. Beginner’s mind is how we grow and become the best versions of ourselves.
Through it all, we made sure to have some fun. Moz offers a Paid Paid Vacation benefit, reimbursing employees $3k per year in vacation costs. Yes, that’s right. You get your regular pay, plus another $3k a year to spend on your trip! It’s bonkers!
Mozzers visited 6 of the 7 continents last year!
We also had 7 Mozling babies last year. Luv those babies.
2017 was a strengthening year for Moz. We went through a lot of change and made some important investments. Mozzers are dynamic, helpful, smart, and hardworking. They have a service orientation and build for the long term. The investments we made in 2017 will bear fruit in the years ahead. And we’re poised to make some ambitious moves in the coming months.
While I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished, I believe we have higher mountains still to climb. We have had triumphs and tribulations, heartbreaks and happy dances. These many years later, the SEO industry is healthy, growing, and dynamic. Many organizations are still struggling with basic web presence, let alone thoughtful SEO strategy. Moz is still teensy-tiny compared to the opportunity. I believe the opportunity for SEO expertise is vast.
I want to close on a note of gratitude.
First, a bunch of folks helped pull together the metrics for our 2017 report, and I am deeply grateful for their help. This post is kind of a bear! Thank you Jess, Felicia, Christian, Kevin, Susan, Michael, Jeremy, and anyone else who pulled data and helped get this post off the ground!
Second, thank you to this community. It’s because of you that we are here. This community would be nothing if it wasn’t for your care, attention, and feedback. We will continue to work hard to make your work lives more enjoyable and successful. We want to be your favorite resource for doing great SEO. If we’re not there yet, trust that we will keep working to be. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
I love this post! It was an awesome read. Moz is something I have always known about, but just recently got back into, and I am very impressed with the community here and the staff. I learned a lifetime of information through the blog, and have applied it successfully.
I love how you show the metrics with the support of illustrative images. I think that today Moz's blog is one of the best resources to learn SEO. Keep going!
have to agree! The Moz blog gave me some great insights into SEO - lots to learn, especially for SEO newbies.
I also agree with you. One of my favorite things about Moz is the blog. That is where I have learned the most. I even find myself digging deep into the archives.
Thanks for sharing this. Always interesting to read the Moz numbers and congratulations for turning a profit!
Moz and Bowie - hard to go wrong. Heroes, for more than one day. I love that you set such a high benchmark, and then throughout the year give people the tools to go after that benchmark.
Thanks for the kind words about Followerwonk!
Great reading about the achievements of the Moz team. May you scale greater heights in the years to come.
Looks like 2017 served Moz well! Glad to see and keep being awesome Moz! Looking forward to MozCon this year as well.
Congrats! It's been a great year for us as well. 17 new employees, 9 more full time clients, and word of mouth lead generation has never been better. Looking forward to an amazing 2018.
Congrats! That's a lot of growth!
Nice post about the successful year of Moz!
I really like the reference of "more wood behind fewer arrows". Moz helped me out a lot with my website and when i was doing its SEO. It indeed was a great knowledgeable experience.
Congratulations! Sarah, I hope you will take the Moz to the next level.
I really like the way you put the reports on the web.
How time passes, it seems that it was yesterday in 2012, and you are going for 5 years, and I hope many more. I discovered you two years ago with my previous project. With salgodelacrisis.com I have rediscovered you. I hope you continue for many more years.
What I do not understand is in the personnel expenses section. Why lower ?, You lower the salaries or the professional category.
Another point is the case of the percentage of women. The logical thing would be 50% of men, for which, the blank curriculum (without name) would be the best. That way it would not be seen who is hired and only the best ones would enter, regardless of whether they were men or women.
Thus, you do a great task.
Congratulations Sarah and team. Moz must be a very big ship to steer. A turnaround in 12 months is exceptional. Plus, there's excitement / curiosity about your new products everywhere which is good to see. Well done!
I really appreciate the free seo resources moz provides.
Congratulations to the whole Moz Family.
Really great numbers! Hope Rand's departure doesn't hurt this business.
Great I really love the way you put the transparent reports on the web.
Congratulations! I wish you all the best 2018.

Between June, 2013 and October, 2014 I blogged on all 108 St. Louis parks. As part of that project, I chose not to include Tower Grove Park since it's technically not a city park.
But it would be wrong not to cover it here for completeness sake. And, since I moved to this part of the city nearly six years ago, I've really taken to this park. Driving by the perimeter or within the interior just doesn't do the park justice. This is one of the best walking parks in the city. You have to experience it at a slower pace if you want to take in the full ~289 acres.
The park has seen much investment and hard work over the years. There is an active park committee dedicated to improving the park. This used to be not such a nice place, it is getting better year after year as more eyes/ears and sweat equity are directed toward the park, the center of this great neighborhood.
The park was placed into ordinance in 1917 when the city took over the property after one of St. Louis' worst fires in its history took the lives of 10 people including 7 firemen.
This is a beautiful park. One of my favorites. And you can't help but draw the comparison of O'Fallon Park to Carondelet Park as both have popular fishing lakes, extensive paved walking trails, picnic places, a wooden home, similar boathouses, nearly identical service buildings and massive modern Recreational Complexes.
The park was placed into ordinance in 2004 per the city website. While the city website does not list a location, accurate map or correct neighborhood (the say this is within Baden).
It is fitting to re-post some of the information about Fr. Filipiak from that previous post as he was the one person who saved the church from the Archdioscese wrecking ball (a mighty and still active wrecking ball indeed.
Per the city website, 14th Street Mall Park is a 1.27 acre park placed into ordinance in 1976. Well, if all that is true, I certainly can't find it. Of course, I found the amazing 14th Street Mall re-branded as Crown Square...but no park.
Named in honor of Charlotte Rumbold, superintendent of public playgrounds and recreation in the St. Louis Parks Department from 1906 to 1915. That is just the tip of the iceberg in Ms. Rumbold's distinguished life.
This park is really a narrow strip of land along the western edge of the city as well as some islands of land in sections where River Des Peres Boulevard splits. The land in between the north and southbound lanes of River Des Peres should really be no-mow, not unlike much of the easements of I-255 in Illinois.
I used to live near here for years, so this review will have some personal perspective. For instance, there are red tailed hawks and fox that hunt in this area. I cannot seem to find the proof, but I am convinced this part of the city was either a former landfill or common dumping grounds; or maybe when the cemetery was abandoned, it was filled and graded with crude fill dirt. Why?
W.C. Handy spent time in St. Louis around 1893; enough time to inspire one of his best known works: "St. Louis Blues", one of the first blues songs to succeed as a pop song. The song was published in 1914 by Handy's own company. The song gained so much popularity that it inspired the dance step the Foxtrot.
This park is great for two reasons. First, of all the parks, this one has the best relationship with and access to the Mississippi River. This is the spot most popular with fishermen. Guys drive and walk right up to the banks and fish for mainly buffalo. This local delicacy, usually fried as described to me by the guy I talked to. You cast with heavy test line and poles that look like they are intended for the ocean. These fish get big.
The park was named in the honor of Captain Charlton H. Tandy. Per the State Historical Society of Missouri, Tandy was born a free black man in Kentucky and went on to great things, serving in the Missouri Militia during the Civil War and a respected member of the Republican Party and civil rights activist.
This park is in an improving area just south of some really, really nice urban new construction just east on MLK Drive called Arlington Grove. This is a great example of urban infill that is sensitive to its surroundings.

During this call, we plan to cover topics and any questions specific to the results of the first quarter and provide our future outlook on the market. The rules for questions are one question per participant. If there's a follow up question, we invite you to get back in the queue to ask your question. To begin, I'll first refer you to the disclosures on Slides 2 and 3 of the presentation. I'll also read the following.This conference call and presentation may contain forward-looking statements made by the Company that involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Investors are directed to the information contained in item 1A risk factors or part one of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the United States SEC for a discussion of the risks that may affect the Company's future operating results. Actual results may differ.
We'll now move to Slide 4, and discuss the results of the first quarter. The table on Slide 4 compares first quarter revenue and earnings results on a year-over-year basis. An important item to note, however, is that due to the accounting requirements associated with the merger transaction, the 2017 figures represent only Knight Transportation's historically reported results. Due to this unique circumstance, year-over-year comparisons at the consolidated level are less meaningful. Later in the presentation, we'll provide more context around the year-over-year results. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2018 were $0.39. Our adjusted EPS, which excludes $10.3 million or $8.3 million after-tax of amortization expense related to the merger came in at $0.44. Our effective tax rate in the quarter was 21.2% compared to 35.3% in the prior year, primarily due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was passed towards the end of 2017. On a go-forward basis, we expect a normalized tax rate of approximately 25%.

On January 12, 2017 the SEC announced its Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE) priorities for the year, including areas of focus for Retail Investors, Senior Investors and Retirement Investments, Market-wide risks, FINRA oversight, and cybersecurity. These priorities reflect an extension of previous years’ commitments, in particular with regard to focus on the retirement industry and cybersecurity. The “Regulation Systems Compliance and Integrity” (Regulation SCI) adopted by the SEC in November 2014 will also be a continued focus.
On July 7, 2016, Judge Paul A. Magnuson of the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota granted Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss a shareholder class action that had been initiated following a 2013 holiday season data breach involving customers of Target Corporation (“Target,” or “the Company”). The data breach, which resulted in the release of information of approximately 70 million consumer credit and debit cards, made headlines as one of the biggest privacy hacks at the time. Initially disclosed to the public in December 2013, with an estimated 40 million credit and debit cards affected, Target subsequently revealed a little less than a month later that additional consumer data, including customers’ names, mailing addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, were also stolen, and increased its initial estimate to 110 million.

Open world games have so much content, but do you ever worry that you're working on this content that no one's going to see, necessarily? Someone doesn't go all the way down that tree?
AP: Yeah. A large part of working on an open world game is making sure that you have enough experiential density at all areas. And with This is Vegas, it's not such a huge geographical location that it's unmanageable. You will be able to explore it in a couple hours, in terms of driving back and forth, and things like that.
Now, obviously, one of the unique features that we have is really detailed interiors, and big interiors; about 40% of the game takes place inside. So there's tons of areas to explore... But yeah, that's always the risk with open world games; that's why you have to make it fun and engaging enough that people continue to play.
But one of the fears of open world games is, in some of the failures of open world games, that they don't have the level of experiential density necessary to reward the player for going around the world and exploring. And that's where, again, to tie it back to the gigs, where the gigs are all over town.
And we've also made it a very big point for design, to make sure that the missions were covering -- we literally have coverage graphs all over the map, how much time you spend in any given area, and when. So it's all paced so that you're going from location to location, and really utilizing the game environment.
It's literally a tool that we've used behind the scenes, so that we can tell how people will play the game, basically, so we can tune the missions to make sure people are using the world appropriately. It's completely transparent to the player.
The toolset that you're using to design the game, you have this tool, so that when someone's designing that mission tree, it will encourage them to place the missions in different parts?
AP: Yeah, exactly. So, when the designer is literally placing the missions, first we make up, "OK, we don't really go to the Fremont area, you know, for the first two hours of the game, so let's put a vigilante gig there that's going to reward the players for exploring that area."
And then, within the vigilante gig, we may go, "OK, in this area, no one's really hitting that for another two hours, if people played linearly through the game, so let's reward the player from that." So you're really making sure that players are hitting all locales within the open world, no matter how they play; whether it's just going off the rails, doing gigs, which again are optional missions, or doing the narrative.
It is a challenge, right? And it's not just a challenge creatively; the resources you spend on making this game are deeply relevant to the company, and to your publisher, so you don't want to waste those resources. Games are expensive to make; the idea of wasting significant effort would be kind of terrifying.
AP: Yeah. We're really trying to use the terrain we've created. And not only is it a cost issue, it's even a creative issue. To have an art team that has spent four months, or whatever it is, to build, say, a casino, and if no one's going to go in there, no one's going to use it, you know, why did we do that? And then they get all bent out of shape because we're not using that.
And again, that's just bad design, so it's really up to the design team to make sure that the distribution of activities is properly set up. And again, it comes all down to experiential density, and making sure there's enough to do at any given area, to reward the player for going to that place.
With open world games, there's a certain -- and I'm not saying this is the case with your game, but there's a certain "jack of all trades, master of none" when you come to the play mechanics. How do you combat that?
AP: Well, it is challenging. Because there's basically open world games which, the way I look at it is "seeing the forest, not the tree," and then there are games, you know, very cinematic games like Gears of War, for example, where you see a very small field of view, you're seeing what the designers want to show you.
Great game experience, but they're two totally different game experiences, and I think the consumers are starting to figure that out; that the game experiences I get with GTA or Saints Row are much more of a breadth experience, and people's expectations are not going to be fighting game level of mechanics.
Now it's interesting because we've actually gone pretty deep in a lot of our mechanics -- probably deeper than other open world games -- and we did that just more to support the Vegas vibe, and, quite frankly, I think you can go deeper.
You don't need just to have an open world game with just one kick or one punch, you can have a more fun, robust combat system; especially when combat's such a pivotal part to these open world games. So it's really just a balancing act, just like the size of the world is balancing your resources in how deep you want to go on certain mechanics, and how important those mechanics are in the open world.

Discussion in 'Quebec Immigration' started by quebec100, Jun 2, 2015.
1) can i travel to canada with my csq paper? I didnt find anything on web if you have a link would you please share?
2) my ecas status changed recently to application received it was in process before any idea what is that mean?
Just wanted to know whats next. I believe its applying for the federal then meds and then passport submission.
May the experts in the group Kindly update me with the possible time frames.
What are the probability of attaining the Visa when one gets a CSQ.
Is she a 2018 applicant? Coz the 2016 applicants processed theirs for three to six months only!
I applied for my permanent residence as a Quebec Skilled Worker last September. My application was received in Nova Scotia the 14th of September 2018 but I have not received any confirmation letter or any other communication from the immigration office regarding my case. Is this normal? How long did it take you to receive a confirmation letter with your application number?
It seems the delay for the AOR is pretty random. There are people who received it in 1 month and others in almost 4 months. I sent my application on August 22, 2018 and I'm still waiting for the AOR also.
Its a matter of luck. I applied in April 2018, AOR and MR in May and PR in October 2018. Its just 6 months in total.
Congratulation ,,, which program you apply and get PR in 6 month ?
Do you think that an employer specific work permit really helps or it's matter of chance?
Based on the CSQ rules sent to us it will expedite the process. Also inland applications and CSQ’s given are faster inside Canada.
I'm inland with CSQ, but I'm still watting for MR, already 1 year. How is your CSQ different?

I'm new to reloading, and I wanted to write down my experiences and thoughts as I'm getting in to this very interesting new aspect of the shooting sports. Folks are invited to read, criticize, comment, etc.
As mentioned in my previous post, these are the quotes/stories from How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), by Ann Coulter. As mentioned in his comment, many of her sources may be taken out of context, and I definitely need to research them further. However, they piqued my interest, so maybe they'll pique yours. Note that most of these sources are noted in the bibliography at the end, so it's not a tremendously difficult task, merely time consuming.
This decision interests me because, while it decides that sawed-off shotguns are illegal, it does so based upon the idea that they are not valid military equipment. However, the flip side to that ruling is that anything which is valid military equipment should be illegal. So, where’s my full-auto AK, dammit!
Imagine what would have happened if this was the holy Qu’uran. It doesn’t even matter if the above was true or not. Even if American Muslims were cool about it (which, thankfully, they have been very cool throughout the whole “Dutch Cartoon” debacle), we would be seeing anti-US riots all over Europe and the middle east, plus a bunch of suicide bombings.
The ineresting thing about this is, while I disagree with her point, is that one needs to bear in mind that Hillary is basically a socialist and would like nothing more than to institute european-style womb-to-tomb nannystate socialism. This is her agenda, and it is fine. However, isn’t this a social institution designed to take care of “individuals … incapable of or undeserving of the right to take care of themselves”. Hell, it seems to me that if she had her way, she would turn the US into one big Indian reservation (because that’s a good idea).
These two interest me because of my strong support for the second amendment and, despite being listed last here, will likely be the first which I research and read. I have some history books I want to get through first, but I definitely want to grab a copy of the Federalist papers, as well as the writings of Thomas Jefferson.
Mini Review: The first book (ABC of R) is a VERY good resource for the beginning reloader, and I highly recommend it. It lays out what you need to get started, what you need to do to load a round and potential pitfalls along the way. Even if you're not looking to start reloading, but just want to learn about how it is done, I highly recommend this book.
The second book (Modern Reloading) is Mr. Lee (the elder)'s load book. The first half is an introduction to loading and is written in a very familiar manner, albeit riddled with grammatical gaffe's and colloquialisms, plus layed out in Word and therefore the page layout looks like crap. Surprisingly, however, it didn't really trigger my “this is improper english” radar and thus annoy me. Perhaps this is because the style of writing is so similar to that of many dialects of rural spoken english to which I am accustomed that it “flies under the radar” so to speak. The second half of the book is load data, which is merely various powder companies' load data collated and organized by velocity. You can get this information directly from the powder company and, if using a powder not in the tables, absolutely should. Indeed, it's probably a good idea to use the load data published online by the powder company, since it might have changed since the printing of the book. However, this book has proven invaluable in comparing different powders in terms of volume and velocity which led me to select a powder. In addition, it has dimensions for the various cartridges, which is good if you're checking and sizing your brass.
Mini Review: This was quite a good read, though given my libertarian bent, I'm almost certainly biased toward her conservative Republican point of view. The interesting and noteworthy portions of this book were not, ironically enough, her punditry, but rather the other sources which she quotes (I've dogeared the pages and will discuss them in a subsequent post). These sources cause me to be interested in tracking down some of the original sources and reading them as well.
Added to the stack since my last book post: Nothing, except the stuff that was added and removed. mentioned at the top.

Most residential areas allow roll-off dumpsters. For those who own a drive, then you could generally park the dumpster there so you really do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic issues by putting it upon the street.
Some jobs, however, will require putting the dumpster on the road. If it applies to you personally, then you must talk to your city to discover whether you are required to get any licenses before renting the dumpster. Generally, cities will let you keep a dumpster on a residential street for a brief amount of time. In case you think you will need to be sure that it stays on the street for a number of weeks or months, though, you might need to get a permit.
You may typically schedule the total amount of time you want to maintain the dumpster when you first telephone to set up your dumpster service. This generally includes the drop off and pick up dates. Most firms do ask that you be present when the dumpster is delivered. This is essential to ensure the dumpster is put in the top area for your project. You really do not need to be present when the dumpster is picked up to haul it away.
In case you get into your job and realize you need pick up sooner or later than you originally requested, that is not a difficulty. Just telephone the business 's office and describe what you need, and they'll do everything they can to accommodate your request. There might be times they cannot meet your adjusted schedule precisely due to previous commitments, but they'll do the best they are able to in order to pick your dumpster upward at the right time.
Trash removal vs dumpster rental in Queen Creek - Which is good for you?
For those who own a project you are going to undertake at home, you may be wondering if it's better to hire someone to come haul off all your waste and rubbish for you, or in the event you need to only rent a dumpster in Queen Creek and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better alternative in the event you want the flexibility to load it on your own time and you don't mind doing it yourself to save on labor. Dumpsters also work well in the event that you have at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Rolloffs typically start at 10 cubic yards, thus if you only have 3-4 yards of waste, you are paying for much more dumpster than you want.
Trash or junk removal makes more sense should you want someone else to load your old things. Additionally, it functions well if you want it to be taken away fast so it's outside of your own hair or in the event that you simply have a few large items; this is likely cheaper than renting a whole dumpster.
Dumpster rental businesses typically have set prices, but the fine art of negotiation is consistently in play. In case you would like to dicker on the price, call around to other companies first so you know what the going rental rate is. When you're speaking to the company you wish to use, only mention other prices which are better than theirs. Some companies will not only fit that lower cost, they'll really overcome it to please their customers.
You can also ask about discounts when you're renting a dumpster in Queen Creek. Some companies will provide special discounts to active members of the military, veterans, seniors, members of the neighborhood Chamber of Commerce and more. It really never hurts to ask; you can occasionally save up to 10 percent or more with this system.
You can even save on the cost by asking about the best approach to prevent additional expenses (like tipping fees or overage costs) and making sure you order the right size container; you don't desire to pay for more container than you really desire.
You can fill your dumpster as full as you like, provided that you don't load it higher in relation to the sides of the container. Over-filling the dumpster could cause the waste or debris to slide off as the dumpster is loaded onto the truck or as the truck is driving. Overloaded or big-boned dumpsters are just not safe, and firms will not take unsafe loads to be able to protect drivers and passengers on the road.
In certain areas, dumpster loads must be tarped for security. In case your load is too high, it WOn't have the ability to be tarped so you may have to remove some of the debris before it can be hauled away. This might lead to extra charges if it requires you to keep the dumpster for a longer period of time. Don't forget to keep your load no higher in relation to the sides of the dumpster, and you'll be fine.
Planning ahead for your dumpster rental in Queen Creek will make your project easier and safer to end on time. When renting a dumpster in Queen Creek, follow these hints to help you plan ahead.
1. Clear an area that is big enough for the dumpster to sit down for a number of days or weeks. Also, be sure that you and other people have access to the dumpster. You need to have a clear path that prevents accidents.
When you rent a temporary dumpster, your goal is to fill it up and possess the waste hauled away. But if you'd like your waste recycled, you might have to go about it in a slightly different manner. Waste in most temporary dumpsters isn't recycled as the containers are so big and carry so much material.
If you're interested in recycling any waste from your job, check into getting smaller containers. Many dumpster rental firms in Queen Creek have a broad range of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are usually smaller than temporary dumpsters; they're the size of routine trash bins and smaller.
Should you'd like to recycle, learn if the company you're working with uses single stream recycling (you don't have to sort the substance) or in the event that you'll need to organize the recyclable material into different containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This will really make a difference in the number of containers you should rent.
One of the greatest concerns you probably have when renting a dumpster in Queen Creek is how much it'll cost. Among the top approaches to negate this fear is to have accurate advice. When you phone to get a price quote, have recommended of just how much waste you'll need to get rid of so you may get the best recommendation on dumpster size. In the event you are not sure on the total amount of waste, renting a size bigger will save you the additional expense of renting a second dumpster if the first proves too little.
Supply any information you believe is applicable to ensure you don't end up paying for services that you don't really want. Some companies charge by the container size, while others charge by weight. Make sure you understand which is which so you have a clear estimate. Likewise, be sure to ask whether the estimate you get comprises landfill costs; this is going to keep you from being surprised by an additional fee later.
If that is your very first time renting a dumpster in Queen Creek, you may not know what's legally permissible in regards to the placement of the dumpster. In case you plan to place the dumpster totally on your own property, you are not ordinarily required to acquire a permit.
If, however, your project requires you to place the dumpster on a public street or roadway, this may usually mean that you must try to qualify for a permit. It is almost always a good idea to check with your local city or county offices (possibly the parking enforcement division) if you have a question regarding the need for a permit on a street.
If you fail to get a permit and discover out afterwards that you were required to have one, you will likely face a fine from your local authorities. In most dumpster rental in Queen Creek cases, though, you should be just fine without a permit as long as you keep the dumpster on your property.
When you want to rent a dumpster in Queen Creek to use at your house, it is a great idea to keep several guidelines in mind. First, determine the size dumpster that will work best for your endeavor. Temporary dumpsters usually come in 10, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. Next, think about the positioning of the dumpster on your own property. Recommendations call for you to provide an area that's twice the width and height of the container. This can ensure appropriate height and space clearance.
The price you're quoted for the container will have a one time delivery and pick-up fee, along with standard fees for disposal, fuel and tax. You must also realize you could only fill the container to the top; no debris should be sticking out. As the homeowner, it's also advisable to check to your local city or municipality to determine if a permit is required to set the container on the road.

PPP stands for the Point to point protocol it’s a typical standard for transferring the pieces of information or data gram over the pointed links. Basically it’s an encapsulation protocol in peer to peer communication. It tracks the targeted traffic in the fully configured point to point IP networks. It works with data link layer in the OSI model and is locate din the TCP suites protocols. The entire model links are synchronized with the attached modem to initialize the transfer to the control to the next layer of OSI model. All the protocols except Internet Protocol can be carried using the point to point protocol synchronization.
Point to point protocols helps the encapsulation of the datagram by multiplexing of other protocol present over the network with the same link. This process retains the reliability and security of the data gram packets. Encapsulation and multiplexing technique may vary with the hardware compatibility.
LCP stands for the Link control protocol it’s a sub component of the point to point protocol which is dynamic and works according to the environmental specifications .LCP automats the agreement procedure for all the encapsulation formats used in the ppp , it also has the ability to efficiently handle the sizes of packets, looped back links , and frequent and common configurations defects. Link termination is also controlled by the link control protocol. In some of the point to point protocol setups the facility for the identity authentication and proper link function is also provided. In this way it become obvious to the connected users when link is working properly and when its terminated or fail to execute.
NCP stands for the Network Control Protocol its an extension to the LCP which is developed for constructing , maintaining, configuring and testing of the data communication links.
Its next process or subcomponent of PPP which integrates the LCP and NCP for configuration of network.
Flag – specifies the start or end of a data frame, it consists of the sequence of binary digit such as 11001010 .
Address – hold the binary format of 11111111, for the broadcast address. Point to point assigns single address to all the links.
Protocol – this portion indicates the encapsulated information in the complete packet.
Information – this the main portion in which message which is to be sent over the PPP link is present it contains 0s and octet bits that represents data.
