![]() ![]() Arkansas is one of the prime wintering spots for light geese and their numbers continue to explode. The weather had produced some strong southern winds the previous few days and tens of thousands of snows had moved into the dry fields near the Mississippi River bottoms. This was hunting after all and the predictability of waterfowl isn’t always reliable. They had found “the spot” but didn’t want to jinx the hunt. Despite their tempered observations, those paying attention could sense the excitement in their voices. They scouted the area pretty hard, driving miles and miles and watching the snows' flight patterns. Halbert and his assistants tried their best to be conservative in predicting how the hunt would go in the morning. My only real recollection was the huge decoy spread … and the one lone snow goose our group shot. I had been on one “professional” snow goose hunt about 15 years ago. But in all honesty, I am not sure Greg or I knew exactly what to expect. Most of the participants had never been to Arkansas before and even fewer had ever hunted snow geese. The lodge featured an outstanding great room that made mixing and mingling with new acquaintances easy. We had photographers, writers and marketing guys from mostly national magazines in vertical industries that cross paths with waterfowlers. Greg and I were some of the first guests to arrive as many of the other hunters were from various parts of the country and flew into Memphis to make the quick drive east. Carlson and Chad Halbert provided the guides through their Arkansas Duckmasters guide service. Our accommodations for lodging were courtesy of Kirby Carlson’s Great River Lodge near West Memphis.

Corporations that use UV systems in products or manufacturing processes (e.g.Potential responses may include the following actions: The UNEP has set the goal for mercury to be phased out of production by the year 2020.Īlthough the Minamata Convention does not specifically prohibit the manufacture and sale of UV mercury-vapor lamps, it will provide a generally positive influence for the more widespread adoption of alternative technologies. The Minamata Convention on Mercury was initiated by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) to protect human health and the environment from anthropogenic emissions and releases of mercury. The inherent stable crystal structure of an LED ensures that UV-C LEDs are very robust to mechanical or environmental shock. These metals and or metalloids are bound within a stable crystal structure and cannot leach into the environment. UV-C LEDs do contain small amounts of elements such as the metals gallium and magnesium and the metalloids silicon and boron (although boron is not predominantly used). While the lamp is operating the mercury vaporizes if the lamp is broken, mercury vapor is easily dissolved into the treated product. Accidents and improper procedures increase the risk of exposure to people and the local environment. ![]() Liquid mercury lamps have the potential to be hazardous both during operation and when the lamp is off.

These UV lamps require routine replacement and are susceptible to breakage during transportation, handling, and operation. UV LEDs are mercury-free and provide a safer alternative. This has created new markets for UV disinfection where traditional UV lamps containing mercury were banned for safety reasons (e.g.
![]() ![]() ![]() A surprise visit to the local aquarium goes horribly awry, giving way to a handful of poorly realized stealth sequences and a punishingly challenging dash through a burning room. These escape sequences, coupled with the zany family time, sustain Dadliest Catch‘s short running time quite well until the final section of the game. The early game’s everyday scenarios are occasionally interrupted by run-ins with a mad chef who sees through the charade. You can almost imagine Octodad beckoning his family to join him on a road trip to Wally World. Beneath all the slapstick silliness, there’s a goofy, clumsy family man taking care of his genuinely happy family. They adore the lovable lug, and it’s strangely touching. Octodad makes Gumby look graceful and he sounds like a drowning Wookiee when he speaks, but his wife and kids don’t seem to notice any of that. Why are there banana peels on the floor of a church?!Īll of this fumbling physical comedy is offset by the straight-faced family that surrounds our hero. The solemn joyfulness of the game’s opening wedding march is really a disastrous comedy of shattered flower vases and crushed banana peels. A task as simple as mowing the lawn turns into a Herculean test of patience and willpower as you whip around trying to avoid flower beds and family members. Of course, logic flew out the window the moment you sat down to play a game about an octopus posing as a human. Riotous calamity follows your every tentacle twitch. But in a genuinely funny way that instantly mitigates any control frustrations. It sounds horrible because it is horrible. Fine motor control is rendered nearly impossible by the fact that Octodad’s limbs return to their natural center when you release the analog stick. The sticks also move Octodad’s grasping “arm” when neither trigger is held down, and the A button (Xbox 360 gamepad) allows you to pick up and drop items with your suction cups. This turns even the act of walking into a laborious process of manually raising a leg, pushing it forward, letting it drop, then repeating that with the other leg– which sometimes get wrapped around or otherwise caught on something. The challenge and the humor are derived from the odd spectacle of prodding an impossibly land-walking octopus into taking care of an air-breathing human family.Įverything in Dadliest Catch depends on the odd, intentionally unintuitive control scheme.On a standard gamepad, you press the left and right triggers to lift each of Octodad’s tentacular legs and then use either analog stick to move the raised appendage. ![]() The game’s levels are (for the most part) built around simulating mundane, everyday activities like pouring a glass of milk for your daughter or grilling up a stack of burgers. It’s just too bad that an ungainly gameplay leap in the too-brief story’s final act sucks some of the fun out of an otherwise silly good time.Įverything in Dadliest Catch depends on the odd, intentionally unintuitive control scheme. The cumbersome controls at the heart of this adventure are needfully frustrating – you’re flopping around on octopus tentacles, after all – while still being manageable. Developer Young Horses dives deep into the awkward hilarity of telling this bizarre story of an octopus pretending to be a loving human husband and father. If charm alone could carry a game, Octodad: Dadliest Catch would already be a lock for Game of the Year contention. Unexpected difficulty spike in the final act kills the momentum ![]() |
