Need game instructions for these old ravensburger games – animal tracks, pick-an-apple, white rabbit, rio +?

December 16, 2009 - 10:56 pm 1 Comment

HI, can anyone help me! I’ve picked up some awesome old games by ravensburger, but none have the original instructions and are difficult to figure out how to play! They are:
Animal Tracks (German game with deer, bear, fox, squirrel, hare and cat tracks on a snow-covered board, lots of counters)
Pick-an-Apple (4 cute little apple trees with red apple tokens hanging from them, yellow buckets to put them in, and board with central spinner – don’t know what the spinner sections represent!)
White Rabbit (small game with tiny board with circular track, one space with red spot. Little rabbit token and 24 cards & dice)
Rio (gambling type game with dice & ‘stick’ like tokens, apparently roll the dice and try not to lose tokens but not sure how this works – again in a small box)
I also have some old games, not ravensburger, without instructions: John Sands "Quizking";Crown & Andrews "Simon Says" (Simon Townsend’s Wonderworld!!!); Parker Brothers "Ulcers"; "Challenge Yahtzee"; "deduction"; "aussie wheel"; and "super 12 yacht race".
If anyone has instructions, knows how to play any of these, or knows where I can get them from that would be GREAT!!!!! I can give you more details if required….
Thank you if you can help me!
It’s a shame to have all these great games and not be able to play them….

First place to check would be the publishers’ web sites. Hasbro (Milton Bradley, Parker Brothers, et al.) and Ravensburger are especially good at having their rules available for download. Your second stop should be www.boardgamegeek.com. There you can find rules to download and Aussies such as yourself who would have these games in their collections.

How do you find/search words in micro office word document (vista)?

December 6, 2009 - 3:36 pm 3 Comments

Like C+F for browsers and searches in PDFs but how do you find in a word document, thanks!

For Microsoft 2007 your going to be in the Home Tab -> go to your far right and go the Editing dialog and first on the list is Find with a pair of binoculars to the left of the word click the arrow -> Click on find and type whatever you need to find and it will high light that word everywhere that it is used in the document.

Ps. Oh, ctrl+f works as well NOT C+F. No such thing.

Which of the saw movies focuses most on Jigsaw’s character?

December 6, 2009 - 3:35 pm 2 Comments

I’m doing a study project for psychology on a few horror movie characters: Hannibal Lector, Jigsaw ect and i already pretty much know the plot of the saw movies but I would like to know which focuses most on the character of jigsaw.

Saw 2 focuses more on his past and his theories, and he’s on screen most of the time.

Saw 3 is a good choice too, but it just shows him suffering from his disease..doesn’t explain much about him.

Saw 2 would be the better choice :)

thinking of buying this for my dad for christmas,is it a good jig saw for adults?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000UEL05U/ref=s9_sima_gw_s0_p21_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=0C8VYWKP2XQ2AYD052QX&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467198433&pf_rd_i=468294

Yes it is. It stays together reasonably well too (for display purposes).

what should my 2 year be doing (academically?)?

hes only just turned 2 and the main thing worrying me is hes seems unable to do jigsaws. when i say jigsaws i mean the baby ones where you match a picture to its shape and insert! he seems to be able to do shapesorters but could be a fluke and doesnt have a very good one!
his nephew was doing floor puzzles at this age but my son cant do baby ones?

he doesnt show that much interest which may be down to me not stting down and doing them but surely its a basic skill to match a picture to a shape even when theres a picture in the shape to match it??

he also knws no colours or numbers! he is starting to mimic me when counting though and many people ask him colours and numbers (i think they think he knows!) which im hoping will help!

Your son sounds very normal. He is still a baby and each month will bring wonderful changes.

I taught my son sign language at 8 months. He learned to speak with his hands by 10 months and was fully capable of communication through sign language between 12-14 months.

My son still has trouble with colors and numbers and only know a couple of letters. He is now 2.5yrs and has only been potty trained for 2 weeks.

Listen, don’t worry about it. At 24 months, this isn’t a basic skill. I have taught my son many things and he is very smart. He still hasn’t mastered the things you have listed, but he will.
