Recent Alumna is Honored with the NJ Distinguished Student Teacher Award
Hackettstown, N.J. – Michelle McElwee, a resident of Chester and a May 2013 Centenary College alumna, was one of 15 individuals honored with the New Jersey Distinguished Student Teacher Award recently at Rider University in Lawrenceville. This is the second year in a row that a Centenary graduate has been selected for this prestigious title.
The ceremony was hosted by the New Jersey Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and the awards were administered by the New Jersey State Department of Education.
McElwee was nominated for this honor, along with two other Centenary students. Dr. Linda Schwartz Green, Professor of Education and Graduate Program Director of Special Education at Centenary College, felt strongly about nominating McElwee for this opportunity.
"I have worked with countless student teachers in the past 23 years and Michelle is one of the best," says Dr Schwartz Green. "She has distinguished herself as a student teacher in so many ways. Michelle is creative and intuitive, and has a wonderful way of understanding individual learning needs, and designing instruction to meet those needs. Her commitment to education and to children goes beyond the classroom. I am thrilled, but not at all surprised, that she was selected for this coveted honor."
According to McElwee, who did her student teaching and practicum at Allamuchy Township School in Allamuchy, under the direction of Ms. Chickey and Mrs. Sabol, she felt it was important to teach like she would want to learn.
"I feel that it is important to make the whole learning process one that is interactive," says McElwee. "I really emphasize thinking outside of the walls of the classroom, not just teaching straight out of a textbook."
She incorporates technology within the classroom through the use of iPads in a variety of lessons to meet the needs of her students and help bring lessons alive. She has also used innovative methods of collaboration by connecting her fourth grade students with two sections of Dr. Green's Language Development, Literacy and Communication in Special Education class to engage in meetings with the college students on how to better their editing and writing skills and, as a result, fostering a mutually beneficial learning experience for both parties.
McElwee graduated with a 3.996 G.P.A. and was honored with the Welsh Prize Award from Centenary College for having the second-highest grades in her class. Always inspired by learning, she knew since she was in first grade that she wanted to become a teacher.
"I told my first grade teacher to save a spot for me," says McElwee. "She inspired me so much that I knew then that I wanted to come back to teach!"
She graduated with a degree in Liberal Arts and Elementary Education and holds a Teacher of Students with Disabilities Certificate. It is her goal to secure a teaching position for September.
Whatever the future holds for Michelle McElwee, one thing is certain, she is destined for a bright future in the field of teaching!
Founded in 1867 by the Newark Conference of the United Methodist Church, Centenary College's academic program integrates a solid liberal arts foundation with a strong career orientation. This mix is designed to provide an educational experience that prepares students to succeed in the increasingly global and interdependent world.
Centenary College's main campus is located in Hackettstown, N.J., with its equestrian facility in Washington Township (Morris County). The Centenary College School of Professional Studies offers degree programs online and in two locations: Parsippany and Edison, and at corporate sites throughout New Jersey. The School of International Programs recruits international students for study at Centenary and Centenary students for study abroad.

West Coast Poets Celebrate Major Anthology
This event is expired.
Leading West Coast poets will read their work in a publication event for Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology, 2nd Edition, edited by Paul Hoover, poet and professor at San Francisco State University. Featuring: Michael McClure, Bill Berkson, Michael Palmer, Norma Cole, Aaron Shurin, Laura Moriarty, Elizabeth Robinson, Stephen Ratcliffe, Maxine Chernoff, Gillian Conoley, Andrew Joron, Will Alexander, Clark Coolidge, Rusty Morrison, Joseph Lease, and K. Silem Mohammed.
This volume updates the groundbreaking first edition, which traced the development of alternative poetry in the post-1950 period, including the Beats, New York School, Projectivism, and language poetry, to which the editor has added conceptual poetry, proceduralism, cybernetic poetry including flarf, written with the assistance of online search engines, and a new generation of "post-language lyric" poetry. The second edition has received a starred review in Publishers Weekly, which called it "stunning" and "an essential book for students and serious fans of poetry." Reviewer Donna Seaman commented in Booklist that each new writing approach "yields poems of provocation, mystery, wit, even beauty, adding up to an engrossing and defining collection." The book will be available for purchase and signing in the museum's bookstore.

Lander Field Office

BLM to Initiate EIS for the Moneta Divide Natural Gas and Oil Development Project and Possible Amendment to the Casper RMP
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lander Field Office is seeking input on a proposed natural gas development project in Fremont, Natrona and Sweetwater counties. A notice of intent (NOI) to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) was published in the Federal Register on Jan. 17, 2013, opening a public scoping period. In addition, BLM authorization of this proposed project may require an amendment to the 2007 Casper Resource Management Plan; therefore, the NOI also serves to initiate the public scoping period for this possible plan amendment.
Encana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. and Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company LP propose to develop approximately 4,250 natural gas and oil wells in the Moneta Divide Project area located in Fremont and Natrona counties. The project area encompasses approximately 265,000 acres of land, of which 169,500 acres are public lands administered by the BLM. The southern portion of a proposed product pipeline associated with the project is located on public lands in Sweetwater County. The balance of the development project area consists of state and private lands
Public input is valuable early in the process and will enable the BLM to develop a well-informed EIS. Comments should be received by March 4, 2013. Written comments may be emailed to email@example.com or mailed to Bureau of Land Management, Lander Field Office, Attn: Chris Krassin, Project Manager, 1335 Main St., Lander, WY 82520.
For more information, please contact BLM Project Manager Chris Krassin at 307-332-8400.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Classic and Cute but very uncomfortable!
"Like the other reviewer, I feel in love with these cute shoes. I love that this flat is a twist on the classic spectator pump and the cork detail but the back part of the shoe is very uncomfortable. I wore them to the first day on a new job and wound up with a bloody heels. I thought I could wait and break them in but to no avail. I've wore them several times but I'm not sure if I'll wear them again."

So Cute
"I thought these shoes were so cute and because they are Aerosoles they would be comfortable. The insoles are nicely padded and outsoles absorb shock but the first time I wore them to work I got blisters on my heels. Now my feet are too sore to wear them. They are really cute though!"

Caruso Molecular Steam Rollers Are The Best!I know certain types of curlers work differently for different types of hair. Hot rollers and curling irons NEVER work on my hair. They give my hair limp curls that are gone within a couple of hours.
I started using Caruso Molecular Curlers abt. 15 yrs. ago and fell in love with them! I had the original one that you had to use salt in the water. Mine finally gave out a couple of months ago. Last month I ordered this new steam w/o salt and so far so good. My curls are GREAT and they last all day! My hair is medium long and nothing has ever kept my curls like Caruso. And volume! Yes!!!
(I also purchased "Sexy Hair Big Sexy Blow Dry Volumizing Gel". Another WOW product!!)
Saying all this, I've read the other reviews that say this device doesn't last as long as the original Caruso. I've had mine for 2 weeks so I'll keep my fingers crossed it will last alot longer than what the other reviewers are experiencing with theirs. If it gives out within the year, I'll hunt down the original Caruso that must be used with salt water. Its worth it!Oct 15, 2010Lisa B. / TexasHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Relaxed Hair

Fabulous Hair RollersI used these rollers years ago and loved them. I tried to find them again but failed. Finally I found them online and are using them again. They are so easy to use and make the perfect body and curl for my hair. I am growing my hair out and they are perfect for my in between cut. If you do not like hot rollers that can burn your scalp and fingers, these are perfect. They are comfortable, stay in place and you can carry them anywhere with ease. I am getting compliments everyday on my hair. Thank you Caruso for continuing to make this fine product.Oct 5, 2010Angie D. / Keswick, VirginiaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Doesn't Work On All People...I got this product because I saw lots of reviews saying that it curls well, stays a while, and works on hard to curl hair (like mine, thin). I've tried it (optimistically) 5 times since I got it and haven't had any successful curls. Even if I do, there are only a few curls and the others just look dented or come out straight.
Sometimes they stay for an hour or so, but that's it. I follow the directions the right way, and usually leave them in for 30 minutes after they are all in. I've even tried some hairspray, but no luck.
Still no curls here.. :(Oct 1, 2010Dakota / New Jersey,NJHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Oily Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

So DisappointedI've been using steam rollers since they were invented and have loved them. I've had several over the years but the quality of Caruso has gone down horribly. I bought two of these and neither lasted longer than 3 mos. I had the original pink one that you had to add salt - it lasted for years. Vidal Sassoon had one that lasted years too - and is still going so I'm going back to it. What a waste of money this Caruso was.Apr 10, 2010Sandra

Worked Great, Until...These were recommended to me by multiple people so I got some and they worked great... for 6 months. Out of nowhere, the steamer stopped working completely. I thought maybe there was a year-long warranty so that I could get a new one, but I've looked all over and haven't even found Caruso's website, let alone any warranty info. So I guess I'm stuck. Especially considering what some places charge for these, they should last years, not months. I don't plan on buying another Caruso product again.Mar 8, 2010Sara M. / MA

After All These Years, Still CommitedI can remember my first caruso steam curler where you had to add salt to the water...I'm talking about 15 to at least 20 years and I've had one ever since.I just purchased another one recently and love the fact it doesn't require salt. One tidbit for you, clean the unit after about 20 uses because of the impurities in the water and it will last you for ever. I talked my sister into getting one and she loves it too.Jan 31, 2010Eduarda / Medford, Ma. 02155

Rugby league convert Joel Tomkins scored two tries on his Saracens first-team debut as the English champions beat Worcester 41-14.
Rugby league convert Joel Tomkins scored two tries on his first-team debut as Saracens breezed past Worcester 41-14 at Vicarage Road.
Sunday's other game saw Newcastle overcome Sale 37-7 in the north-east. Both teams were already out of the running for a knockout place.
Saracens 41-14 Worcester
It was quite a debut for centre Joel Tomkins as the former Wigan Warriors forward enjoyed a two-try performance for Saracens as the home side recovered from an early deficit to beat Worcester.
The 24-year-old went in for his score brace in a five-minute spell as Mark McCall's side earned themselves a bonus-point win at Vicarage Road.
Saracens were down 13-14 at half-time courtesy of a try apiece from Worcester blindside flanker Sam Betty and right winger Tom Arscott.
Two penalties from Nils Mordt and his conversion of Peter Stringer's try soon set Saracens on their way though and when Justin Melck crashed over on the hour mark, the hosts never looked back with Tomkins' double and Jamie George's effort seeing them finish second in Group A.
The scorers:
For Saracens:
Tries: Stringer, Melck, Tomkins 2, George
Con: Mordt 5
Pen: Mordt 2
For Worcester:
Tries: Betty, Arscott
Con: Carlisle 2
Saracens: 15 Duncan Taylor, 14 Kameli Ratuvou, 13 Joel Tomkins, 12 Adam Powell, 11 Michael Tagicakibau, 10 Nils Mordt, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Jackson Wray, 7 Will Fraser, 6 Justin Melck, 5 Eoin Sherriff, 4 George Kruis, 3 Petrus du Plessis, 2 Jamie George (capt), 1 John Smit.
Replacements: 16 Scott Spurling, 17 Nick Auterac, 18 James Cleverly, 19 Hugh Vyvyan, 20 Tom Jubb, 21 Luke Baldwin, 22 Nathan Earle, 23 Ben Ransom.
Worcester: 15 Chris Pennell (capt), 14 Tom Arscott, 13 Ravai Fatiaki, 12 Joe Carlisle, 11 Josh Drauniniu, 10 Danny Gray, 9 Jonny Arr, 8 Blair Cowan, 7 Richard Muagututia, 6 Sam Betty, 5 Craig Gillies, 4 Ben Gulliver, 3 Oliver Tomaszczyk, 2 Chris Fortey, 1 Bruce Douglas.
Replacements: 16 Aleki Lutui, 17 George Porter, 18 James Currie, 19 Nile Dacres, 20 Matt Kvesic, 21 Ollie Frost, 22 Miles Benjamin, 23 Errie Claassens.
Referee: Ian Tempest (England)
Newcastle 37-7 Sale Sharks
Jimmy Gopperth pocketed 22 points for Aviva Premiership bottom side Newcastle as Gary Gold's charges ran away with matters against the Sharks at Kingston Park on Sunday.
Playing at full-back, the New Zealander crossed for a try six minutes from time and also kicked three penalties and four conversions in what was a bonus-point win for the hosts.
It was the former Hurricanes pivot who got the ball rolling for the Falcons by knocking over a fourth-minute penalty before Sale hit back via opposing centre Nick Macleod's converted try.
Gopperth then struck another penalty before number eight Mark Wilson crossed, which opened the floodgates for the domestic strugglers, with further tries coming from hooker Rob Vickers, lock Tim Swinson and then fittingly Gopperth had the last say for the hosts.
The scorers:
For Newcastle:
Tries: Wilson, Vickers, Swinson, Gopperth
Con: Gopperth 4
Pen: Gopperth 3
For Sale:
Try: MacLeod
Con: MacLeod
Newcastle: 15 Jimmy Gopperth (c), 14 Ryan Shortland, 13 Corne Uys, 12 James Fitzpatrick, 11 Suka Hufanga, 10 Joel Hodgson, 9 Chris Pilgrim, 8 Mark Wilson, 7 Will Welch, 6 Ally Hogg, 5 Adriaan Fondse, 4 Tim Swinson, 3 James Hall, 2 Rob Vickers, 1 Grant Shiells.
Replacements: 16 Michael Mayhew, 17 Jonny Golding, 18 Ashley Wells, 19 Richard Boyle, 20 Taiasina Tu'ifua, 21 Richard Mayhew, 22 Will Chudley, 23 Tom Bedford.

Replacements: 16 Tommy Taylor, 17 Ross Harrison, 18 Tony Buckley, 19 Richie Vernon, 20 David Seymour, 21 Scott Mathie, 22 Mark Jennings, 23 Luther Burrell.

Spring training camp preview
Major-league baseball camps will open this week in Arizona and Florida. Here's a look at what the 30 clubs have on their minds to get ready for the opening of the 2013 season (team capsules in alphabetical order):
National League
National League Central
Chicago Cubs (Mesa, Ariz.)
The success of the starting rotation will be determined in how holdover Matt Garza and newcomer Scott Baker bounce back from elbow injuries. There's also the matter of how much offense the Cubs will get from centerfielder David DeJesus and rightfielder Nate Schierholtz.
Cincinnati Reds (Goodyear, Ariz.)
The Reds are moving flame-throwing lefty Aroldis Chapman, who has been a dominating closer, to the starting rotation. They also have to see if newcomer Shin-Soo Choo can handle himself in center field after playing corner outfield in Cleveland.
Milwaukee Brewers (Phoenix)
The Brewers' spring camp will be all about the starting rotation. Nothing is set after Yovani Gallardo and Marco Estrada, and there will be at least four candidates for the other three spots.
Pittsburgh Pirates (Bradenton, Fla.)
The Pirates need to fill some innings in the starting rotation behind A.J. Burnett and Wandy Rodriguez and are counting on James McDonald and Jeff Karstens to hold up their end of the bargain. Another goal will be for new catcher Russell Martin to help thwart would-be base stealers after opponents ran wild on the Buccos last year.
St. Louis Cardinals (Jupiter, Fla.)
With Chris Carpenter unexpectedly out of the picture, the Cards must fill a rotation spot with the leading candidates being Shelby Miller, Trevor Rosenthal and Joe Kelly. Veteran shortstop Rafael Furcal must show he is past the elbow problems that limited him to 121 games last season and led to Pete Kozma starting in the postseason.
National League East
Atlanta Braves (Orlando)
With Martin Prado traded to Arizona, the Braves will see if young shortstop Andrelton Simmons is up to handling the leadoff spot in the lineup. Another major topic is the return of catcher Brian McCann from shoulder surgery and how that affects his throwing.
Miami Marlins (Jupiter, Fla.)
What a difference a year makes. The Marlins scrapped much of the high-priced club that underachieved in 2012 and new manager Mike Redmond must fill a variety of holes on the roster while trying to keep morale up. Good luck.
New York Mets (Port St. Lucie, Fla.)
The Mets will use spring camp to decide who is best-suited to close games out of the bullpen. With Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey gone, the Mets have some slack to take up in the rotation and are counting on former Brewers righty Shaun Marcum to help do so.
Philadelphia Phillies (Clearwater, Fla.)
Newcomer Ben Revere is set in center, but the corner outfield spots remain in flux. Can Delmon Young handle himself defensively in right? Domonic Brown, John Mayberry Jr. and Darin Ruf will vie for playing time in left.
Washington Nationals (Viera, Fla.)
The addition of Denard Span will allow Bryce Harper to move to left field from center, where his instincts lagged behind his physical talent. If second baseman Danny Espinosa isn't fully recovered from a rotator cuff tear, Steve Lombardozzi will be there to fill in.
National League West
Arizona Diamondbacks (Scottsdale, Ariz.)
The Diamondbacks traded away two-thirds of their starting outfield by sending Chris Young to Oakland and Justin Upton to Atlanta. Rookie Adam Eaton and newcomer Cody Ross will fill those holes, and youngster Cliff Pennington gets his shot to be an everyday shortstop.
Colorado Rockies (Scottsdale, Ariz.)
All eyes will be on new manager Walt Weiss, who has never led a club above the high school level. Weiss' job will be a lot easier if shortstop Troy Tulowitzki shows he has fully recovered from the groin issues that limited him to 181 at-bats in 2012.
Los Angeles Dodgers (Glendale, Ariz.)
After all of the money spent by new ownership since last year, a major hazard could be tripping over their wallets before camp opens. Right-hander Chad Billingsley will try to show that his elbow injury is in the past, and franchise player Matt Kemp is bouncing back from shoulder surgery.
San Diego Padres (Peoria, Ariz.)
The Padres have several candidates to fill out the rotation behind Clayton Richard and Edinson Volquez, including veteran Jason Marquis. Hard-throwing Andrew Cashner, who badly lacerated his pitching thumb in December, will attempt to return as soon as possible.
San Francisco Giants (Scottsdale, Ariz.)
Understandably, the Giants did little tinkering with a club that swept the Detroit Tigers to claim the 2012 World Series. So, it's mostly a matter of keeping everyone healthy throughout camp, particularly MVP Buster Posey.

American League
American League Central
Chicago White Sox (Glendale, Ariz.)
With A.J. Pierzynski gone, White Sox pitchers must get used to throwing to new No. 1 catcher Tyler Flowers. Veteran acquisition Jeff Keppinger doesn't have the pop normally associated with third base and therefore must contribute in other ways or lose time to Brent Morel.
Cleveland Indians (Goodyear, Ariz.)
Look for the Indians to give several players the chance to fill the designated hitter role now that Travis Hafner is gone. The addition of Drew Stubbs could prompt the switch of Michael Brantley from center field to left in a revamped outfield.
Detroit Tigers (Lakeland, Fla.)
The Tigers expect Victor Martinez to bounce back from knee surgery and fill the DH role on an everyday basis. Rick Porcello, who heard trade rumors all winter, will battle with Drew Smyly for the fifth spot in the starting rotation.
Kansas City Royals (Surprise, Ariz.)
With their starting pitching lagging behind in the overall rebuilding program, the Royals made a bold move by sending top prospect Wil Myers to Tampa Bay for right-hander James Shields. They also picked up Ervin Santana from the Angels and will look to leap forward with an improved rotation.
Minnesota Twins (Fort Myers, Fla.)
Having traded away Denard Span and Ben Revere, the Twins will be breaking in new outfielders Darin Mastroianni and Chris Parmelee. They also must determine if Pedro Florimon is ready to be an everyday shortstop in the big leagues.
American League East
Baltimore Orioles (Sarasota, Fla.)
Newcomer Jair Jurrjens joins Brian Matusz, Jake Arrieta, Zach Britton, Tommy Hunter and Steve Johnson in what figures to be a fierce battle to fill the back end of the starting rotation. With Mark Reynolds gone, Chris Davis gets his shot to be the everyday first baseman.
Boston Red Sox (Fort Myers, Fla.)
The Red Sox added many players after the disappointing 2012 season that got manager Bobby Valentine fired. Mike Napoli must show his hip issues won't stop him from playing first base regularly. And it will be interesting to see how Shane Victorino adjusts to playing right field.
New York Yankees (Tampa)
Even with third baseman Alex Rodriguez out indefinitely following hip surgery, the Yankees' camp will be dominated by players returning from injury. Shortstop Derek Jeter is coming off ankle surgery, closer Mariano Rivera a torn ACL and left fielder Brett Gardner an elbow injury.
Tampa Bay Rays (Port Charlotte, Fla.)
With the addition of second baseman Kelly Johnson, look for valuable Ben Zobrist to see more action in the outfield. Yunel Escobar, acquired from Toronto, doesn't seem to fit the mold in Tampa Bay but opens camp as the starting shortstop.
Toronto Blue Jays (Dunedin, Fla.)
This immediately became a "go for it" year when the Blue Jays pulled off the blockbuster trade that netted starting pitchers Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle and shortstop Jose Reyes. As if that weren't enough, they added NL Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey and leftfielder Melky Cabrera.
American League West
Houston Astros (Kissimmee, Fla.)
After consecutive 100-loss seasons in the NL Central, the Astros transition to the rugged AL West. Former Brewers setup man Jose Veras will get his shot at the closing role and must come through to avoid a late-inning scramble in the bullpen.
Los Angeles Angels (Tempe, Ariz.)
Scoring runs certainly won't be a problem after adding Josh Hamilton to an already potent lineup. To help with the pitching, the Angels rebuilt the back of their rotation by adding Jason Vargas, Tommy Hanson and Joe Blanton. And they'retaking a flier on closer Ryan Madson, who missed all of 2012 after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
Oakland Athletics (Phoenix)
Manager Bob Melvin must find playing time for five outfielders - Coco Crisp, Josh Reddick, Yoenis Cespedes, Chris Young and Seth Smith (a likely DH candidate). The Athletics solved their primary shortcoming before camp by trading for Houston shortstop Jed Lowrie, who could share time with newcomer Hiroyuki Nakajima.
Texas Rangers (Surprise, Ariz.)
With Josh Hamilton gone, the Rangers will let Leonys Martin and Craig Gentry battle for the centerfield job. If Lance Berkman breaks down again, the DH role will either be alternated among bench players or perhaps slugging prospect Mike Olt gets a chance.
Seattle Mariners (Peoria, Ariz.)
The Mariners must find a way to generate more offense, be it from newcomers Kendrys Morales and Michael Morse or the return of veteran Raul Ibañez. With John Jaso gone, young catcher Jesus Montero must show he is ready to take a leadership role behind the plate and improve at calling games.

I could use this time of year to make a boring old top 10 list, or you know give out awards that make sense. Instead you get this. A bit of weird nonsense (but totally true nonsense) followed up with my actual game of year.
Best Co-op Game I played in Single player
Monaco What's Yours is Mine
I ended up playing a little bit of online with the Halloween update and a bunch since then, but up till recently I played the entire game alone. I played it much more as a stealth game than most people probably did so working solo helped that goal somewhat. It seems like co-op games are destined to turn into utter absurdity pretty quickly. That game is still excellent playing alone but it really does shine when playing with people and everything goes wrong.
Game that exists on this list only for me to shake my head at before moving on
Brothers a Tale of Two Sons
Moving on then! Okay fine I'll just say this, it's a super interesting game that should be really remembered for what it does control wise. And then should be scorned for what it does narratively because it's kind of terrible.
Favourite Achievement
Hate Plus
I baked a cake! Okay, a small glass ramekin of a cake but still! As it turns out it's hard to bake when you lack baking equipment. Not sure what I would've made if I had flour but I probably would've made more cake than I did, because you know cake. Also Hate Plus is a really cool visual novel, that mixes in a lot of real life stuff with it. So one of the characters asks you to look in your kitchen to check if you had baking stuff and I immediately said no and she immediately scolded me saying that wasn't enough time for me to actually go into my kitchen and check...
You should probably play the previous game, Analogue a Hate Story if you want to play Hate Plus. It directly follows on from that last game so it probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense without it. But it's a really interesting story that even though you know how it's all going to pan out in the end, it's much more about how that place ended up the way it did.
Most Laughs and Best Demo
The Stanley Parable
Hands down funniest game I played this year. Also best demo that's super weird because it isn't a demo at all and is just it's own thing. Absolutely go play the demo regardless of if you intend to play the full game, it's completely separate to the main game so just play it anyway.
The Stanley Parable does a lot of really good comedy and just general taking the piss out of video game structure. It's well worth playing through to see as many of the endings as you can. Even though I played the original mod there's still plenty in the game that was new and much of it has been improved a lot since that Half-Life 2 mod.
The narrator is the one that brings that humour to the game and is just a treat to have along to guide/snark at you. It's just wonderfully well done how many lines there are in the game and how they call to various things that you do. Also there's an achievement for clicking on a door 10 times. Try it out. That one's pretty great. You'll probably need to lookup how to get every ending but even then it's still worth seeing as much as you can.
Game I didn't play that I enjoyed the most
I never really got into the original DOTA I played a few games years ago and I played a tiny bit of League and then went I don't like these games and just quit. DOTA 2 is just not a game that I'm interested in playing and sinking the time to learn it properly. That said I watched The International and watching that just kind of incredible. That game is an absolute wonder to watch pro teams just do crazy things that require so much skill and coordination to pull off.
Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm is still my eSports game of choice when it comes to watching. I'm more familiar with the game, I know how that game works and I've been following it for much longer. Still just super cool to watch how DOTA 2 and all that stuff plays out from the sidelines.
Game of the Year
Gone Home
Probably one of the easiest Game of the Year choices I've had in a good long while. It's a game that's full of heart. I could go on about how clever the environmental storytelling is in that game. There's just so much in that game that is just in the background for you to find, that the game doesn't telegraph, that it just expects you to look and try and connect the dots for yourself.
It's weird how much a game that boils down to walking around and picking up stuff actually gets. The voice acting keeps Sam's story at the forefront the entire time though and it's just lovely the whole way through.
It's hard for me to say how well that resonates with people of different ages, I'm a little bit younger than the generation of folks to who probably relate to Gone Home much more. And I think a lot of what makes makes the game great is that it has touched so many people on a deep personal level. I read a lot about how people felt about the game and it was all really wonderful to hear about how these different people reacted to different parts of the game.
Like the Stanley Parable, Gone Home uses your expectations against you. The former uses it to get laughs out of you, but Gone Home uses it to just tell you just a bit more about life at the Greenbriar household. Sometimes that family life is mundane, sometimes it totally sucks and other times it's just beautiful and those are the parts of the game that still stick in my memory and that's awesome.
Other notable games for me this year
XCOM: Enemy Within - This game was awesome before, expansion just makes it even better
Metro Last Light - Awesome dark atmosphere, makes me long for a new STALKER game. Really creepy depictions of women that half feel like they fit and half a measure of we wanted an excuse to have breasts in this video game
Papers, Please - Moral choices, like actual ones where you make hard decisions about do you do a good deed only to not have money to feed your family for the night
Antichamber - Kind of peters out towards the end but there are some great puzzles that force you to think in really strange ways to solve them
Strike Suit Infinity - The much better follow up from Strike Suit Zero, it's just some really excellent space shooting freed from the really terrible missions that plagued the original game
Depression Quest - The second 'I will never play this game' on my list. Super important though.
Race the Sun - Kind of an endless runner using a solar powered hovership and you chase the sun. Super well made and great for doing a couple of runs between other things.

This article explains why Latvia is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. It also explains why oligarchs are walking the streets and are not in jail. KNAB have been nobbled by Strelchenok, the prosecutor generals office, and corrupt politicians. The anti-corruption commission are a bunch of crooks who work at the behest of oligarchs, and not the people of Latvia.

This article has a totally weird headline. "Pasažieru vilciens has to resolve the matter with procurement of 32 trains" Why is a quarter of the headline in Latvian and the rest in English? Why say "Pasažieru vilciens" when you can say "passenger trains"? So sad when online and print publications so mess up English when there are so many native English speakers in Latvia and abroad who don't fake as though they have a total comprehension and ability to write proper English.

Have been there, by far the largest store of it's kind in Klaipeda, it has a huge car park and I can see huge problems trying to exit the parking as the entrance/exit is to a busy road and there is a set of traffic lights 100 mt away that is always causing slow moving traffic.
Trevor Hudson @ 2017-02-21 10:35:59
We always used Maxima until Lidl opened here in Klaipeda. Everything is cheaper and they have really good checkouts, if there is a queue they open more checkouts, in Klaipeda Maxima in Big2 have around 25 checkouts with only a few working. Also Maxima say they have reduced prices, not true, recently milk up from 85 to1.05 euro pack of bacon rashers up from 1.79 to 2.45, euro, bottle of Spanish red wine was 2.19 up to 3.39 only last week. Also Lidl fresh produce and fresh bread is really good. Try them !

Jennifer Hinze and Liz Cordonier seek new challengesWINNIPEG - (September 24, 2012) - Continuing our article from last week (Five Athletes Retire from the Senior Women's National Team), we will now focus on middle blocker, Jennifer Hinze and left side, Liz Cordonier, both alumni from the University of British Columbia and both natives of Vancouver, BC.
Jennifer Hinze (right photo)
Jen first wore a Team Canada jersey as a middle blocker on the junior national team in 2005 at a USA Volleyball High Performance Championship. She came back to the training centre the following summer to compete on the junior team again in the NORCECA Championship in Mexico. After that year, she continued to come back to the training centre to train with the senior teams until she made her first senior A roster in 2008 when she competed in an exhibition series versus a professional club team from Japan. When Arnd Ludwig took over the position of head coach in 2009, he had Jen on every single traveling roster, except for one when she had to return to university. She finished her career with 65 international matches, five of those being in the 2010 FIVB World Championship.
She played her university volleyball for the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds. During her five years there, she contributed to four CIS Championships. Not only did she receive numerous CIS and Can-West all-star awards, she also was very successful academically. She received the very prestigious CIS Desjardins Top 8 Academic All-Canadian Award for the 2009-2010 season. Recipients of this award have to be student-athletes with an average of over 80% and who are also leaders within their community.
Following the 2012 Olympic Qualification Tournament in April, Jen decided to retire from volleyball and focus on her goal of becoming a doctor. She is also coaching volleyball a grade 10 volleyball team in her hometown of Vancouver.
Here is what she has to say about her experience playing on Team Canada:
"Trying to sum up in a quote what playing on the National Team meant to me, and what it still means to me is a tall order. During my time on Team Canada I learned so much about myself, and all the experiences I had definitely helped shape me into who I am today. I made incredible friends, and now have the pleasure of knowing people from all across the country. I will especially miss being part of a team of people who did anything and everything to help us succeed: coaches, trainers, administration, and my team-mates. So thank you all! Although my time on the National Team is over, all the skills that I learned will stay with me and help me succeed in the next stage of my life."

Liz started her national team career on the 2007 senior B team, traveling to Bangkok, Thailand for the FISU Games. She came back to the training centre in 2008 where she made the senior A team and competed in an exhibition series versus a professional club team from Japan. After that season, she decided to compete on the FIVB World Tour on the beach court. She represented Canada in that fashion in 2009 and 2010 before deciding to re-join the senior indoor national team on the left side in 2011. She made the senior A team and was part of the traveling 12 athletes for every competition up until the 2012 Women's Olympic Qualification Tournament for the London Olympics. She finished her career with 33 international matches.
Liz had a very successful CIS career representing the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds. She contributed to three CIS Championships during this time. She received a number of CIS and Can-West awards, but in 2010 after her 5th year on the team, she was awarded the prestigious CIS Athlete of the Year award for all sports.
Following the Pan Am Games in Guadalajara in 2011, Liz landed her first professional indoor contract overseas in Finland. She re-joined Team Canada for the 2012 Women's Olympic Qualification Tournament in April for her last competition. She was recently accepted into the law program at the University of Calgary.
The following are some thoughts from Liz since retiring from Team Canada:
"It didn't take long after I hung up the shoes for me to realize that I would never be part of something as significant again. For the past five years of my life I've been identifying myself as a national team volleyball player and moving on is not easy to do. Fortunately there are certain things that you get to take with you once you leave the court. One is the experience of traveling the world and competing at the highest level of professional sport and getting to test your hard work and the work of your teammates on the international stage. Sometimes your efforts are rewarded and sometimes you fall short but each time you learn something. Another is the experience of representing your country and meeting others like you who are willing to make any sacrifice to see our flag raised and our anthem played. It is competitions like the Pan Am Games in Guadalajara in 2011 that put into perspective how we weren't only representing ourselves and our teammates, but all of our fellow athletes in Canada. It's a very empowering thing to be a part of. Finally it's the friendships that are forged on the court, in the weight room and on the road that makes being a volleyball player the greatest job in the world. Getting to go to work with your best friends every day is what I will miss most...even if it means running the beep test beside them. "

Skip to comments.Bachmann Endorses Newt Gingrich (lol)
Posted on 12/15/2011 9:37:11 AM PST by Reaganite Republican
Michele Bachmann is a shameless opportunist who will say whatever it takes to advance Michele Bachmann. To hell with her.
She called him a conservative here. But I thought he is a progressive? Or is it a socialist? No..a marxist! Wait a minute. I think I heard anti-Christ as well. LOL!
I love her politics and was an early supporter, tho stopping short of an endorsement
But she's scared me off with the negative campaigning and poor management skills- not qualified for president at this time, imho
Burned her bridges for VP, too- stupid if you ask me, there was no need for it
If you saw my Mark Levin post today, ALL these Newt-trashers are being called out... Geo Will called him a commie or something, then we find out his wife works for the Perry campaign!
Watch that bow tie spin lol
Good work - carry on - and God speed.
I like how she fought against Obamacare and she is good with national security but she turned into Nurse Ratched on the vaccine attack on Perry and she needs to try not to scream into the microphone. Her negative campaigning did it for me as well. My brother said she reminds him of someone's ex wife nagging.
Is THAT RIGHT!!! You are doing an excellent job sorting out the truth. Good for you! I am so fed up with the extreme garbage being floated out there. FED UP!
Never have judged a candidate by what other people say about them.
Have, and do, judge them by their own records.
Proving the critics to be hypocrits/opportunists does one thing...proves them to be hypocrits/opportunists.
Cannot...is abjectly incapable of...proving or disproving the bonafides of the candidate being spoken about.
This has been out there for some time.
Consultants move from candidate to candidate....it's where they find work.
The media, advisers, consultants, lobbyists and elected officials — the D.C. beltway relationships/marriage stew.
Much obliged
I am totally sick of all the BS mudslinging amongst the GOP candidates... everybody except Gingrich, of course
Honor The Gipper's 11th !!!
We've got a war to win next year... save some ammo and armor for that perhaps
Newt should use this as a campaign ad !!!!
(And we thought Sarah palin came up with "Drill Here, Drill Now" ! Nope - it was Newt !)
Who cares what Bachmann said then and now about Newt, unless you're determined to miss the point that Newt is judged by his record not what people say about him...as are all the candidates.
All an ad would do is show up Bachmann for saying one thing then and another thing now.
Wouldn't prove a thing about who is Newt Gingrich.
Trust me...Newt doesn't need to go down the road of showing up people for saying one thing then, another thing now. lol
Your name choice is interesting...your candidate has said "the era of Reagan is over".
"...your candidate has said the era of Reagan is over."
It is. There will never be another Ronald Reagan. What needs to take place is a new era based on Reagan's conservative principles. Newt claims to be a Reaganite and part of the Reagan revolution. Newt does have some credentials to support that claim.
Energy states like Texas and Alaska and now North Dakota, long ago exhibited the reality of belief in "Drill here, drill now".
The change is, this that used to be understood in America has now got to become a political slogan in order to re-teach this truth.
In these states and a few others, we still do our best every day to live out these words, despite all the governmental obstacles.
Newt is a free thinker and has written prolifically
He has said and done a number of stupid things over time
I am forgiving all that because he is the most conservative ELECTABLE candidate who's qualified to be president and can communicate clearly with the electorate
I don't listen to any bashing of Gingrich unless the other person is going to argue who they are FOR as well... because imho all the other candidates are weaker choices than Noot.
Telling the truth is not bashing.
You are certainly free to screen it out of your thinking, but it isn't bashing.
My support of Governor Perry is well known.
In his book, Newt said FDR was the greatest President of the 20th Century.
What was Ronald Reagan...chopped liver?
FDR couldn't shine Reagan's shoes.
Fine, dismiss it and all the rest.
Because you think he can win.
I don't know if he can or not, but he's not who I deeply believe should be our standard bearer nor occupy the exhalted position of the Oval Office on my behalf.
And that goes for Calista as First Lady, too.
There, I said it. (Borrowing from the Great One, Levin).
A communicator who can sell our agenda in difficult and confusing times and beat Obama at debates is essential, imho
I put up a "what about Perry for prez" post a few weeks before he jumped in, and somebody from TX surprised me with the comment on my RR site "Are you crazy, the guy can't put two words together, and will implode early in the campaign because of it"
That always stuck in the back of my mind... until it all unfolded exactly like that
Big disappointment to say the least- I was ready to back him with that jobs record, but he really blew it imho... and it's too late to fix that first impression this cycle
BE NICE, Rangerette!!!
Someone posted this to a Perry thread awhile back. I'll pass it on to you.
Honing in on your point that Newt is a free thinker.
Explaining his tendency to sometimes say stupid things.
Does he have to say them just because they cross his mind, or write them in a book for that reason?
I have a lot of thoughts that might not be ready for sharing with the world, even if I had a megaphone to share them.
So let me phrase it a different way...to me, his problem isn't that he's a free thinker, or limited to the fact that he speaks his thoughts out of turn...
Bottom line is his standard of what is appropriate to advance in the public arena is...Newt himself.
He's his own standard of what should be adopted as a public stance. He thought it was good to lavishly praise Hillary...many have forgotten that...sit with Pelosi about Global Warming, say the era of Reagan is over, say FDR was the greatest, praise Andy Stern of SEIU in his book, and on and on, simply because his mind thought of it, period.
Thought it was ok to take millions from Freddie Mac because he was Newt and they asked him.
Converted to Catholicism as a result of Calista's influence, when that is the same person he had an affair with and was to become his third wife, and put that forward to the public as proof he's changed. Can't seem to see how convoluted that is and might be a political turn off to many.
The Newt standard for Newt...another standard need not apply.
I've expressed my views.
Nothing to add.
And my support for Govenor Perry is well known.
Yep, no point in comparing Newt to some more-perfect and more conservative candidate, because none such exist
You fight with the army you have
That's a great tidbit there- thx!
There is no way the general electorate will vote for him. It is also very disturbing to look deeply into his Democrat past. Especially the time period where he supported Al Gore.
The hypocrisy of Mittens and Perry calling Newt a lib is simply amazing
Obama-esque, even
Didn't George Will go so far as to call Newt a Marxist? Talk about hyperbole. Sheesh
If Gingrich wins the nomination, how is she going to support the Republican ticket? She has called him a socialist. If she is a true Christian and doesn't bear false witness — well, IMO she already did, many times over, in the debates so far.

During half-time of the Emery High girls basketball game on Feb. 15, Principal Gwen Callahan awarded two loyal Emery High fans the title of "Super Fan."
Callahan said, "Tonight we would like to honor two very loyal, dedicated and true Emery High super fans and supporters. Wayne and Elaine Wilberg have consistently attended Emery High sporting events since the 60s. They have enjoyed attending basketball, volleyball, football, baseball, softball and track events. One amazing thing is that they didn't even have their own children to watch since they have four daughters and there were no competitive sports for girls to participate in at that time-(but their daughters were on the drill team and the cheer squads). They have just loved watching the kids and the sports whether they had family to watch or not. Wayne and Elaine have followed the Emery High athletes from St. George to Ogden and everywhere in between. They have seldom missed a state basketball tournament.
"When the 16 grandchildren came along and got involved with sports, they attended Jr. Jazz games, junior high games, county league soccer and wrestling events, church games, high school sports�including basketball, volleyball, softball, baseball and track�and then onto college basketball, volleyball and track events and even to the NBA games. Over the years they have had three grandsons participate in high school basketball, three grandsons in baseball, two granddaughters on the drill team, four grandchildren on the track team, and five granddaughters on the high school volleyball, basketball, softball and track teams. One grandson went on to play at Brigham Young University and the NBA and three granddaughters went through college on athletic scholarships�one in volleyball at College of Eastern Utah, one in volleyball at University of Utah and one in track at Southern Utah University.
"Wayne and Elaine have been untiring in their support for their grandchildren and all of the other Emery High athletes in nearly all of the sports. They have spent countless hours in travel, time, money and sitting in the bleachers watching the sports and people they love most. They enjoy seeing all of the kids grow, learn and improve. They are true-blue Emery High fans and supporters and will continue to be so as long as they are able," said Callahan.

Behind Mosser, Parkland wins another D-11 title
Gabe Mosser did on Wednesday what he's done the entire baseball season. Dominate. As a result, the Parkland Trojans have another District 11 championship trophy.
Mosser struck out 11 Stroudsburg batters and didn't allow a run as the Trojans earned a 3-0 championship game win. Their second straight championship in District 11. The win also puts the Trojans back in the PIAA tournament where they hope to redeem themselves after a first round exit last season.

All That Glitters Is Not Gold ….
In this case it is green, a brilliant emerald green, and it is chomping its way through America's forests. The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, may look pretty, but it is killing our ash trees in our forests and backyards.
This is Emerald Ash Borer Awareness Week (May 19-25) and the time of year when you might see adult beetles flitting about among your ash trees. It is also the time of year you may unknowingly move this pest if you pack firewood when you kick off the summer camping season. Read more »

I've been knitting for a little more than five years, but I completed my first pair of socks this morning. They're just your basic, no-frills socks, knit with lemons-and-sunshine washable yarn.
The weather today is disgusting (it's February—where is our snow?!?), but my cheery new socks lighten the mood.
Knitty's Socks 101 explains the basics of sock construction and design—it may be the only sock pattern you'll ever need.
I still prefer mittens and thick, fuzzy yarn, but I can't help but smile when I see those stripes.

Leafs Call Up Kadri
November 12 2010 11:21AM
That day is finally upon us; Nazem Kadri has been called up by the Toronto Maple Leafs. It doesn't feel like the right time to bring up Kadri for an extended stay and personally I'd prefer he stay in the AHL to work on his game.
However with 5 goals and 9 assists in his first 14 games Kadri is likely already better than half of the Leafs' current top six. From talking to people who watch the Marlies I get the feeling they don't think he's ready to dominate at the NHL level.
He'll slot onto the new second like with Tyler Bozak and Nikolai Kulemin. People dreaming about seeing Kadri play with Kessel should remember that Kadri definitely isn't ready to play against the tough checking assignments Kessel sees.
This feels like a desperate move by a desperate team, hopefully despite all odds it works out.

The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.
All About My Current Opponent!
For the last three weeks I have been battling what some days feels like the flu and other days a chest cold.
Just when I feel good, it wallops me back down.
I get this wax/wane fever going on and I know fevers are one of your body's defenses and I have stopped taking Tylenol to break them in hopes it will shorten this battle.
I am the type of person who would rather have a head cold than chest cold, the coughing just keeps me awake at night (not to mention no one at my house gets sleep with my loud cough especially if it becomes a coughing spell). With a head cold you can take stuff to breathe and relieve the head pressure but the chest cold needs to be thinned or you choke and cough/hack all night. Then on top of it your throat hurts from the coughing and drainage and your stomach muscles too.
To beat my opponent I will subject myself to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons water four to six times daily.
My opponent, this chest cold given to me by my daughter home from school for the holidays, sure is putting a whipping on me but I know in the end I will be victorious over it as my character will see me through it and anything else thrown my way.
You've only got three choices in life:
Give up,
Give in,
Or give it all you've got!

This paper examines the skill needs of the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan, and the potential for these needs to be filled by migrant workers. It assesses the institutional structures with regards to skill development in countries of origin and destination and potential areas for future reform to bring needs and capacities into line.
Trade facilitation (the simplification and harmonization of import, export, and transit procedures) including paperless trade (the use and exchange of electronic data and documents to support the trade transaction process), has taken increasing importance as evidenced by the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement reached in December 2013, as well as the growing number of regional and subregional initiatives aimed at facilitating the electronic exchange of information along international supply chains.
Cities in developing countries across Asia-Pacific are struggling to effectively manage municipal solid waste (MSW). This is especially the case in secondary cities and small towns, which often face a lack of resources and know-how. Because the waste stream in these cities is usually high in organic content (50-80 per cent) and recyclable materials (10-20 per cent), waste-to-resource initiatives are viable options for sustainable MSW management.
Much hinges on the outcome of the World Trade Organization's Tenth Ministerial Conference in Nairobi in mid-December. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is marking the 20th anniversary of its establishment during the Uruguay Round, almost half a century after 23 countries set up its predecessor for trade in goods, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Yet the mood is far from celebratory. The downbeat feeling is more related to the question of the WTO's relevance, now and in future.
The rapid increase of the number of older persons, particularly the oldest-old - those above 80 years - increases the need for long-term care of older persons in the Asia-Pacific region. This working paper series examines the prevailing system of provision and financing of long-term care for older persons in selected countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

This paper examines the legal frameworks governing international migration in North and Central Asia. It shows how these frameworks have developed since 1991 at the national, bilateral and subregional level, in both countries of origin and destination, and how effective these frameworks are at protecting migrants and ensuring that international migration in the subregion is safe, orderly, regular and responsible. To this end, it concludes with recommendations for future reforms.
This Guide provides meeting organizers with step-by-step, comprehensive advice for the planning of disability-inclusive meetings. The Guide builds on the Incheon Strategy goals to promote the participation of persons with disabilities in decision-making processes and to enhance the accessibility to both the physical environment and knowledge as well as information and communication services. Crucially, the Guide reaffirms that meetings across all themes are enriched by the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities.
As a pillar of regional connectivity, the telecommunication infrastructure is now seen as the enabler to facilitate the movements of goods, people, money, services and knowledge within and across national borders. Thus, reliability, diversity, speed and resilience of regional (and national) ICT infrastructure, in particular broadband networks, is a critical development priority of the region. In recognition of the prominence of this infrastructure, new emphasis has been placed on the concept of e-resilience.

International Health Electives
Nomination submitted by: Judith E. Reagan, Director, Office of International Programs
Program Overview Judith Reagan, Director of the Office of International Programs at the University of Kansas Medical Center developed the International Health Electives program for senior medical students to travel abroad for hands-on clinical electives. Participating students learn to function in another culture under a different health care system. The program currently has sites on six continents in both developed and developing countries. "A global perspective is required for the healthcare providers of the future who will encounter emerging and re-emerging diseases that with global travel touch every part of the world," says Judith Reagan. In February 2006, over thirty percent of the class participated in the program, up markedly from one student at the program's inception in 1993. New sites are now continuously under development to meet the increasing demand for opportunities for students to learn from cultures and healthcare systems abroad. We are encouraged to see this new institutional model for study abroad. We also hope it will help fuel a growing interest in majors and fields such as the new "Geographic Medicine."
The members of the selection panel for this year's awards include the following leaders in international education:
Geoffrey BannisterPresident, The Forum on Education Abroad
Esther BarazzonePresident, Chatham College
Stephen DunnettVice Provost for International Education, State University of New York at Buffalo
Ulrich GrothusDirector, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) New York

Chapter 16
Christ is risen—He appears to Mary Magdalene, then to others—He sends the Apostles to preach and promises that signs will follow faith—He ascends into heaven.
1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning the

5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side,
6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is
7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

FREE shipping available. We are your bowling deals experts.
Welcome to BestBowling.com - home of bowling deals! No matter the weather outside, a bowling alley is constant and continually welcoming. Need new bowling balls, shoes, or bags? BestBowling.com as the best gear (at the best prices) to satisfy your needs.
We bowl because it is fun, exciting, calming, frustrating, enlightening, maddening, and a plain good time. Why do you like to bowl? Bowling balls are not all created equal. Of course, this does not mean that one particular ball is most definitely better than another. The truth is, just because a certain bowler plays extremely well with a certain ball, it does not mean that you will, too. You need to find the ball that is perfect for you and your skills. Keep in mind that the best ball for you is not necessarily the most expensive one! Try out a few different styles of bowling balls with different coverstocks and cores and drillings, and then choose your favorite. If you have a few favorites, then choose the one that you like the best for aesthetic reasons! And remember that sometimes it can take a while to get used to a new ball. Give it time!
If you're among the truly dedicated kingpins out there, living and dying by the great sport of bowling then there's a good chance that you love all things bowling. But those who truly dedicate themselves to the sport, investing 100 percent effort into improving their skills and taking their game to a whole new level, deserve more than basic bowling supplies and equipment. These types of bowling enthusiasts, aficionados, and professionals can treat themselves to completely customized bowling balls, shoes, bags for a comprehensively personal bowling experience that is sure to help bring out the best of their abilities out on the lanes.
Granted, it's quite easy to get excited about all the excellent options for bowling balls, shoes, bags that you can take advantage of right now. But let's not forget about all your bowling buddies though. The variety of bowling items that you can choose from allows you to show your bowling teammates just how much you appreciate their commitment to the team and makes it easy for you to congratulate them on their recent run of strikes!
For those of you striving to improve your game or are thinking about getting involved with bowling for the first time, purchasing your own personal bowling balls is a key element to success out on the lanes. Even the slightest margin of error in the way your bowling ball fits your hand can mean the difference of a few pins every frame, and we all know how quickly a few pins at a time can add up. In addition, using a ball that features a precise fit and optimal weight for your body type and personal style also helps to prevent against unnecessary physical strains or pulls. BOWLING BALLS
Purchasing your own pair of bowling shoes grants the peace of mind that comes from not having to worry about who was wearing the rented pair before you. Not only is exponentially cleanlier to wear your own shoes, but repeatedly wearing the same pair of bowling shoes can also help boost performance. This is possible because repeated wear allows you to break in your shoes and allow the material to precisely mold to the shape of your foot for the best support and most exact fit. BOWLING SHOES
You most likely have more than enough skill to perform at a top level without fancy accessories or adornments. However, there is still definitely something to be said for the direct impact that comfort can have on one's performance. This is one of the top reasons why bowling shirts feature such a specific design. They are crafted to ensure full range of motion and promote optimal body temperature. In addition, you can find custom options for bowling shirts that allow your team to unite behind a common color and design! BOWLING SHIRTS
