EDITOR'S NOTE: In the spirit of sports fellowship—and trash talk—RedEye and the New England Sports Network have set up a columnist showdown. Chicago vs. Boston. Blackhawks vs. Bruins. Bag Boy vs. NESN hockey writer Mike Cole. Have at it, gentlemen.
All it took for the Blackhawks to win Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final was a puck off of a skate, a few Bruins shots ringing posts and a triple-overtime deflection off two players before finally finding its way to the back of the net for the game-winner.
And despite all that, it still took more than 112 minutes for the Hawks to finally put away the B's.
So yeah, the Bruins should feel pretty good about their chances through just one game of the Cup Final.
They may be down 1-0, but there's still no reason to believe the Bruins can't (and won't) win this series. It's pretty simple actually. If they cash in on just one of their multiple chances in overtime, we're sitting here (gulping down extra-large coffees from Dunkin' Donuts) talking about how the Bruins are going to roll to the Cup.
Nothing is ever easy with this club, but maybe that's just the way they like it. The Bruins dropped the first two games in the 2011 Cup Final to the Canucks (remember that team, Blackhawks fans?) before storming back to win it all.
They're not concerned, nor should they be. The Bruins are still going to win this series, and it really comes down to one reason above all else. That would be the Finnish guy who stands between the pipes, Tuukka Rask.
He has carried the Bruins throughout the playoffs, and he's arguably the main reason the Bruins are where they're at. To put it another way, he's kind of like the Bruins' version of Aaron Rodgers, a comparison Chicago fans should understand a little more clearly, right?
Rask has stood on his head all playoffs, and had it not been for Andrew Ference's skate, we would have all gotten a little more sleep Wednesday night. It's nothing more than a speed bump for the wagon that is the Bruins.
This Bruins team feels like a team of destiny, mostly because they better personify the idea of team better than anyone in sports. They sacrifice for each other. They defend each other. They get tough for each other. Real tough. Did you happen to catch Gregory Campbell finish a shift with a broken leg last series?
That reminds me: Has Derrick Rose declared himself ready to return yet or do we have to wait until 2014 until we see him again?
We could sit here and make this debate about who has the better city, the better celebrities, the better food, the better river, the better bands and on and on. But Bostonians don't really care about that stuff. All they care about is winning, which is what separates the Hub from just about every other city.
Chicago is a great city, and the people are awesome, too. So you do have that. You'll also have your deep-dish pizza, some big shiny buildings, two last-place baseball teams and "Shameless" to fall back on. Hopefully that gets you through the rest of the summer and into football season (the first half of the season, at least, before the Bears fall apart again).
Don't get too comfortable with a one-game lead, Chicago. The Bruins are far from done, and so is this series. Stock up on coffee and Red Bull. This Stanley Cup Final between two of the best cities in the world, which has the potential to be legendary, is just getting started.

Okay, okay, okay. It's only February and I'm already behind on my January goals. But I do have good reasons.
First, let's grade my progress. Here are the goals I set for myself for each month:
- Processing one document/source per week (if not more) into my RootsMagic database. I got off to a good start the first week of January and added several items to RM. So, if you take the average, yes, I did add what comes out to one document per week.
- Writing at least one blog post per week. I only posted a few times in January. Explanation on why below.
- Reading one genealogy book per month. I read several chapters in a book on archival preservation, but didn't quite make it all the way through. Not the book's fault — I am taking the blame on this one. I need to really set aside more time for reading.
- Exploring one new technology per month. I actually have this one covered! More on that below.
- And taking one genealogy-related trip every two months. I didn't go anywhere in January. We'll have to see what February holds.
On to my excuses (I think they're pretty good, actually):
1) I was without my laptop for two weeks — I dropped it off with a local company to be suped up with a new hard drive, operating system, Parallels, and to have my old hard drive turned into an external drive. Could I have done all this myself? Probably. But it would have taken me even longer and no guarantee that everything would be working right. Unfortunately, the guy assigned to work on my computer caught the flu and was out for several days. That and waiting for parts to arrive meant a lengthy delay before I got my computer back. I relied on my iPad in the interim, but I really don't like blogging on it. The good news is I have the laptop back now and it's super-fast and up-to-date.
2) I started a new job. I've been getting used to a new routine and schedule and my personal genealogy projects have been on the back burner since the middle of the month as a result.
3) I picked up new client genealogy work. For the better part of a week, when I got home from the day job, I was on the clock for a client. This left little time to work on my own genealogy. The good news is that the client wants me to do more work on the project and I had a couple more inquiries from other potential clients as well. The bad news? I will still be delaying work on my own genealogy into February, which will probably mean I won't be posting much new material on the blog.
Now, for the new technology tool that I learned about this month. I needed to create multi-page PDFs for my client research project. You can do this in a program like Adobe Acrobat, but I found out about a different, free way to do so (as long as you have a Mac). You can use the Automator tool to create a script that will string together individual PDFs into one larger file. Read more about how to do it here.
Let's see how I do in February!

The timing of Sunday's Page 1A story on pension costs to taxpayers is pure coincidence. It was in the works for months and just happened to be ready now. But what a perfect coda to a week that saw an outrageous attempt in Sacramento to gut the California Public Records Act.
The immediate crisis has been averted, thanks to a public backlash. But this isn't over. A constitutional amendment affecting the act has been proposed, and it needs careful scrutiny.
The Public Records Act requires that information like the compensation figures in the pensions story be made public in a timely fashion when an organization or individual requests it. The offensive legislation wedged into a lengthy budget trailer bill was aimed at getting the state off the hook for the costs of local compliance, which would lower the budget by 0.02 percent.
To do this, Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature — particularly the Senate — were willing to cut local officials some slack on transparency.
The bill they passed still encouraged compliance with the Public Records Act. But, for example, instead of having to respond within 10 days to a request, local agencies could respond — oh, whenever. Or they could deny the request without having to say why, as they're required to do now.
On Friday, state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg told our editorial board that it was all a mistake. He said the only motivation had been to eliminate the reimbursement for local costs, which has been suspended for a decade anyway. He clearly hadn't expected the backlash from media and good government organizations, though it's hard to see how somebody as smart as Steinberg would fail to see that coming. Same for Brown.
Fortunately, the Assembly, led by Speaker John Perez, passed legislation Thursday rescinding the offensive provision. The Senate plans to do the same Monday, and the governor has said he'll sign the bill.
Crisis averted. But that constitutional amendment looms.
Steinberg, Brown and others are proposing it to enshrine the Public Records Act in the constitution, while also making it clear that local governments should pay their own costs of compliance. It could end up as a win for public access, but after last week's near-debacle, we are naturally leery. And it's looking like a rush job, heading to a committee hearing as early as Tuesday.
The news story on pension subsidies is an example of how the Public Records Act can be used to gather information that can be analyzed and presented to the public in an understandable way. The broad take-away is that, while public employees are supposed to pay part of the cost of their pensions, many cities, counties and other agencies pay the employee share with public dollars.
In the economic downturn, these costs forced cuts in other parts of many city, county and district budgets. It's another indication that pension reform has yet to take hold, even though it's clear the costs are not sustainable.
This investigation was done by Bay Area News Group investigative reporter and Watchdog columnist Thomas Peele. He estimates that among the countless public record requests he's made over the years, only about half were granted without at least some follow-up, if not a lawsuit. Voters will need to be wary of anything that might make it even harder to find out what's going on.
The reaction to last week's assault on the Public Records Act has reminded lawmakers how highly people value the right to information. But it's important to stay vigilant as a constitutional amendment is crafted. Given the rush, let's not even blink.

That's exciting Larry! We will be there this year to see how it turns out. Good luck with the renovation and congratulations on the 20 year mark!
This will be our 20th year for the Darkness and in celebration of such we are doing a very massive renovation of The Darkness. We have been working with vendors already, working on concepts and much more. We are also doing our own DIGITAL CGI Animations not only for The Darkness 2013 but also to sell to haunt owners World Wide at the Transworld Show. We will also be offering custom vac form we are finally pressing plastic, making molds and much more. We have been working on the CGI FX for months already, and the vac form for weeks as well.
So this 20th year celebration has been in the works for some time now... in addition to all of that we are also doing custom costumes, and those will be offered for sale at TW as well. We are going to be opening The Darkness for the TW show and we'll be doing a ton of outdoor que line stuff, live entertainment, and a totally renovated Darkness and I might add the best one ever!
We will start later this week and once again I will post the pictures as we go. The Darkness will be the best we've ever done without any doubt and I'm really really excited about the opportunity to renovate the place for the 20th season.
Follow this thread and we'll update you with any and all about this event.
I do NOT think we'll do anything but The Darkness to make it easier on the stress level we've experienced over the last couple years.
Additionally we want to seriously FOCUS on one massive renovation for The Darkness 20th season!
All tickets will once again be sold through www.thedarkness.com and additionally you can find all the details there as well.
That's exciting Larry! We will be there this year to see how it turns out. Good luck with the renovation and congratulations on the 20 year mark!
Just FYI... I will be swinging by the haunted house several times this week. I will be taking several photos of things we will SELL!
I'm planning on selling sever items out of the haunted house. If you are interested in things we are going to get rid of let me know or just look on the trading post for details.
We haven't started YET but we will the day after thanksgiving! Anything we plan on selling must be picked up quickly because I don't have the room to store stuff.
Spent SEVERAL hours at the Darkness today with our new team and we have a plan... now the trick is to see if we can get it done in time. As usual I'm going ALL OUT BALLS THE WALL and I feel I must do this because its our 20th year. We didn't have the best season this year, so I've made a choice NOT to do ANYTHING to Lemp. I can't afford to... I'm putting everything in Darkness.
I've said it before I can't nor would I feel good about opening just to open... I can't open Lemp if I'm not going to do something new worth seeing... so we'll keep the doors shut there.
We are going back to our heart and soul and putting everything we've got into DARKNESS ONLY! And honestly its all I can afford.
I think I'm going further than I've ever done so all the focus has to be on DARKNESS and its 20th season!
I was there today and I should have taken pics of everything I'm going to get rid of but I forgot... I will get those photos today.
It will be a long list I'm trying to rid my haunt of all Scarefactory animations for one... just don't want them anymore. We haven't bought really anything from them in several years so I'm getting sick of looking at it... I want to buy new stuff. So we'll have a bunch of Scarefactory stuff. We will also be selling several sets and stuff.
We are gutting like 12 rooms total all up stairs... we will start the Monday after thanksgiving.
I will be keeping an eye out for the pictures. Have a great holiday.
We will re-open Lemp in 2013 I just wasn't going to bother with it for the TW show... I figured everyone has seen it. Does everything think we should open it or what? I could open some new rooms of the building for you to explore or something but I don't really want to open it with actors.
I don't know you guys tell me!
Additionally I might have a VERY SECRET surprise for everyone very soon! I can't spill the beans yet but...
Hey. Crazy concept...what about a museum style tour with placards and prerecorded audio or video clips that play and explain a behind the scenes detail about how the scene was made or something? IDK. Just a thought since no actors.
Hey Larry,
I would LOVE to see Lemp!
I've never been to Transworld before but I am going this year! Hell, I own a company that's vending there lol so you can bet your haunt I'll be there!
Maybe with no actors, just do it at your regular price??? I have been DYING to actually visit your haunts in person, and I can promise you that you have me as a customer should you open it up!
Couple things...
1) Okay we'll open LEMP and add it as a bonus behind the scenes tour. We'll open up some massive 20,000 square foot rooms that you can walk through and take photos of... we won't open it with actors I don't think.
2) We will post pics starting next week when we actually start the project. First pic is attached to this email here.
3) I am pulling out all the stops this year... if you've ever wanted to see The Darkness I think this will be it. The main reason I wasn't going to open Lemp is because I will be doing some projects for other people and I want to focus ALL OF MY TIME on Darkness because its the 20th season. We will do our best work EVER!
4) I will post a list of vendors and people from around the industry who will help us with this massive overhaul project. See list now...
Unit 70 - Ghost Ride - Interactive Ticketing - we are really close to ordering a few things from Gore Galore and we'll be getting Distortions to make something for us for their TV Show. I have Dan Faupel doing some drawings and he's doing amazing work.
More vendors to be named soon!
5) We will work next week to update www.TheDarkness.com. Prices will basically be the same as last year $50.00 for Darkness and $100 for the behind the scenes tour which we'll add The Lemp to the mix. We'll offer discounts for people who buy in January through discount codes via our facebook page. This includes Terror Visions 3D. Tickets will go on Sale January 1st. Alcove Reaper.jpgAlcove.jpgCemetary Arches [1].jpg
6) Major upgrades we are attempting: Basically the whole entire upstairs is being re-done nothing much to the downstairs. Terror Visions will get some new animations, a new facade que room and our museum is getting something HUGE... can't say yet.
Take care. Larry

Asos Inspired Back Wrap Lace Dress
Added Aug 17, 2013

I fell in love with this dress from ASOS (that back!) but wanted my neckline a bit different so I DIY'ed it. The lace is from Etsy and the bodice is self-drafted. Then the skirt is Vogue 8899 and the sleeves are Newlook 6723
I really liked how it turned out and am sad because I probably will never wear it! I mean where do you wear a fancy white dress with a low back (that's not exactly church-appropriate)? ha man. My mom jokes I need to use it as my wedding dress. I think I probably need to get used to talking to boys first.

Lovely…like the back

Beautiful work! You could always wear it with a bright coloured cardigan and a smile because only you know about the gorgeous back.

Anyone who's been in hurricane SANDY yet? Or will be, do you think it's going to be pretty colorful?
Only about 25 mph winds forecast here in Ithaca NY, but with that and rain, I'm having to prepare. I hope the power doesn't go out, I'm highly dependent on electricity.

the air pump for the respirator I use indoors, broke and the person who makes them lives in Connecticut, near the shore. So I don't know when he'll get another air pump to me. So right now I can either stay in my house and be sick, or camp out in my front yard or something. So it was a big hurricane here after all.
How are things now?
What was it like being in the hurricane? could one walk in the wind?
There's a video on Youtube of some people who bicycle around flooded Manhattan during the hurricane.
I'm always amazed at how vulnerable our society is to disruptions like this. That we as a society don't have a better immune system or better self-defense. People's bodies are designed a whole lot better than societies.
I got my replacement respirator, so I'm back to living in my house, after 6 nights sleeping in a motel or camped outside. It was very stressful.
fubar comes to mind; i just go into overdrive cutting downed trees or construct mode post hurricanes.. shutters .. in 82? we had flood from stalled out something.. huge terraforming of canals off 595 w. of ft laud beach.. to everglades
occupy feeding fema folks/occupy community leader meets with national guard
and climate change = large terraforming w/o a care if you exist.. this Earth thing! ; )
green energy's look real good/mobile to boot
maybe gov. electric cars since charging stations i read at nationl parks.. .
~off subj but pertinent
amazing times:
The President of Uruguay Jose Mujica has been dubbed by international media as 'the poorest president in the world'.
In his latest official declaration of wealth, he says he owns just two vehicles, a small amount of property and his farmhouse. He donates 90% of his salary to charity.
Mujica became president of Uruguay after a landslide victory more than two years ago. After a half a term in power, he is now backing a bill to legalise the use of cannabis.

The Gatekeepers
Academy Award® Nominee
Charged with overseeing Israel's war on terror-both Palestinian and Jewish- the head of the Shin Bet, Israel's secret service is present at the crossroad of every decision made. For the first time ever six former heads of the agency agreed to share their insights and reflect publicly on their actions and decisions.
The Gatekeepers offers an exclusive account of the sum of their success and failures. It validates the reasons that each man individually, and the six as a group, came to reconsider their hard-line positions and advocate a conciliatory approach toward their enemies based on a two-state solution.
Starring Ami Ayalon, Avi Dichter, Yuval Diskin, Carmi Gillon, Yaakov Peri, Avraham Shalom

NUTRITION We all want to include our dogs in our holiday celebrations, but hopefully, you're aware that sharing table scraps with your dog isn't always the best idea.
HEALTH Summer is coming on fast, so it's time to plan how you will keep your dog safe and healthy through the lazy, carefree, warm days.
NUTRITION With the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.

The 5 Best Hispanic Films To Watch In 2014
01.1.2014 | By Mariana Dussan | No Comments">No Comments
Every year the power of the Latino consumer grows more and more, and this in turn has forced Hollywood to open its doors (though very slowly) for actual Hispanic movies. Not just films that have a Latino in there somewhere, but films that have a genuine and legitimate story to tell. In 2014 we have films that have assembled immense Latino casts with Latino directors, that also highlight stories about our community and cultures. In celebration of this feat we give you the 5 Best Hispanic Films you need to watch in 2014! Read More

"We have been using the Longsdale practice Praxis Core online tests as part of our preparation for the mandated entrance assessment, the Test of Basic Skills. To be able to become accepted into the Teacher Education Program, students must pass all modules of the Praxis Core. Therefore, our Teacher Education program has used the Longsdale product for several semesters, and we find it to be an invaluable tool in helping students prepare for the actual Praxis Core. We especially like the individual self-correction aspect; it is targeted, student-specific, and succinct in helping the student gain understanding. The independent learning approach is extremely student-friendly. I have taught test prep courses in the past, but it is hard to individualize in even a small class. However, the practice tests do exactly that: they target the learning needs while reinforcing the already mastered material. "
Anne Thomas
Teacher Education Program Coordinator
Wilkes University, Wilkes-Barre, PA
"Longsdale Publishing is a reliable and beneficial resource in helping future educators study for the Praxis Core. I have found that using this resource has helped increase my test scores. Thank you Longsdale Publishing for allowing students like myself to use your resource."
Karleigh A., student
Anderson University, Anderson, SC
"I feel that this prep course helped to prepare me for the Praxis. I really had no idea what to expect before taking the practice tests, but the tests were very similar to the actual Praxis. The tests helped me to identify what areas I should work on before taking the Praxis. I really don't think my scores would have been as good without this course."
Denise W., student
Arkansas Tech University, Russellville, AR
"I have definitely found your program to be helpful. By utilizing the program and the resources, it has given me a broader idea as to what to expect on the test, and I feel better prepared. I also appreciate the ability to have feedback right away on my writing. By having professionals critique my practice writing, I can learn my strengths and weaknesses, and use the information to better prepare myself for the test. Thank you again."
Leondra M., Omaha, NE
"Writing timed essays is a great way to improve your writing. I used the strategies of brainstorming and outline creation to form a flowing coherent essay. Being timed causes me anxiety, so practicing writing an essay and knowing that someone will be reading it helped immensely. The feedback given was prompt, specific and helpful causing me to develop my weaknesses so that I passed the Praxis."
Wendy P., Nebraska
"I took the practice tests about a year earlier than what my four year college was requiring. Thanks to the studying, I passed my pre-service tests no problem and now stand out in my peer crowd because of it!"
Alec D., student
Wilkes University, Wilkes-Barre, PA
"I found the Praxis Online Course & Practice Tests to be very beneficial. It allows you to get an inside scoop on what to expect on the test. Without this, I don't believe I would have scored as well as I did."
Jennifer M., student
Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania
"I really like this site! I haven't retested but I am a lot more confident. Using the practice material and tests have helped me to focus on what I need to study to be prepared and speed up my responses."
Jackie M.,
Northwestern State University of Louisiana
"For my many students who are particularly busy with their academic coursework, outside work, and family life, the online tests to help prepare these students have been very worthwhile."
JoAnne P., Instructor
Penn State Berks
"I have dyslexia and was extremely nervous about taking the praxis test. The practice tests from Longsdale Publishing gave me the confidence to not only succeed but to excel when actually taking the real test. I passed all three tests with high scores on the first try. Thank you Longsdale for your wonderful product."
April B.,
University of Arkansas at Little Rock
"It was very helpful in giving me the advantage of what to expect on the actual test. I did not have anxiety when I took the real test because I was familiar with the style of the questions. I would recommend using this product."
Nicole G., student
Wilkes University, Wilkes-Barre, PA
"The Praxis preparation program is very helpful. It has more content to study than the program offered by ETS. I love the different test forms provided and the content is relevant to the praxis."
Jose M., student
Midland University, Fremont, NE
"Using this course really helped me understand the material. I liked how after each question it gave you the correct answer and an explanation. Without this course I definitely wouldn't have done as well as I did."
Hannah S., student
Peru State College, Peru, NE
"I am a senior and I must admit being intimidated by the prospect of taking the Praxis for educators. This practice has helped me to prepare for confronting the unknown and helped me to gain the confidence to complete my goal of becoming a teacher. Thanks for the help!"
Ken D., student
Millersville University, Millersville, PA

- U.S. stocks rose sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to an all-time high in early trading today.
- Fewer Americans than projected filed applications for unemployment benefits last week.
- The Federal Reserve said yesterday in its Beige Book business survey that the economy in most regions grew last month. The European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged at a record low of 0.25% today.
Equities: The March E-mini S&P 500(CME:ESM14) is up 6.75 points to 1879.25. We are still focused on our current target of 1896, according to our market profile analysis. Again, the fact that the market has been holding (and rallying) above 1851, looks like a bullish short term sign. The jobs report tomorrow might have a big impact, but unless it is really out of line in either direction, we expect more strength in the market tomorrow. A run towards 1900 would not be a big surprise to us at all.
Bonds: As we noted yesterday, we believe the bonds(CBOT:USM14) are starting to look bearish. The 30-year bond could not hold above the 134 level twice now this year, and we believe that the bonds could head lower, especially if we see a big upside surprise in the jobs report tomorrow. We see the 128 level approaching soon; 130'29 is our next market profile downside target.
Currencies: The currencies are big movers today, with several up big against the dollar. The euro(CME:ECM14) is up 115 ticks to 138.46, while the Aussie(CME:ADM14) future is up 109 ticks to 90.85. The Aussie looks to us to be breaking out of a range, and could head higher from here, possibly to 92. Our next technical market profile target is 91.46. The Canadian(CME:CDM14) is up 63 ticks to 91.21, while the U.S. Dollar index is down 41 ticks to 79.65. Our next profile target for the USD is around 79.25. The kiwi has also been very strong as of late.
Commodities: May coffee(NYBOT:KCK14) burst higher near the close yesterday, breaking the $2 barrier. Today it is down slightly to $1.97. Our next profile target for coffee is $2.13. We would not be surprised to see coffee try to break higher above $2 again. At this point, we can honestly say coffee can go anywhere fast. April gold(COMEX:GCJ14) is up $8 to $1,348, and looks to be fairly strong. May silver is up to $21.48, and has been in a quiet trade recently.

International Olympic Committee 'Fully Satisfied' Russia's Anti-Gay Law Doesn't Violate Olympic Charter
In case you were worried that the International Olympic Committee had grown anything even remotely resembling a pair of balls--have no fear, they haven't.
The IOC has determined that they're "fully satisfied" that Russia's blatantly discriminatory and dangerous anti-LGBT legislation doesn't violate the Olympic charter and they won't do anything to oppose it.
Awesome. Thanks, guys!!
The International Olympic Committee declared Thursday that it has no grounds to challenge a Russian law that has been criticized as discriminating against gays, a decision likely to set off a furious reaction among human rights activists who have been urging the IOC to censure the host country of February's Winter Games.
IOC officials told a news conference in Sochi, where they were making their final inspection tour before the Games begin Feb. 7, that they were "fully satisfied" that a Russian law banning gay propaganda does not violate the Olympic charter's anti-discrimination guarantee, the Associated Press reported.
The committee considered its decision for several days, IOC Chairman Jean-Claude Killy said, but finally agreed it lacked authority to criticize a host country's laws if they did not specifically violate Olympic rules.
Thoughts on the IOC's determination, Instincters?

Honestly, the graphics look butchered on xbox. Compared to high def and fine details..such as..mine for example, a fine contrast. The audio can't hear till , and the rest if okay, giving my honest grade. I knock points off myself too for having my mic on playback. Just an example games play finer on the pcGamingDragon316 posted: »

UPDATE: Im still going to continue with The Wolf Among Us whenever they release Episode 2, its been almost 2 months now and no Ep. 2 and with Season 2 of TWD idk what i will do because right now i have no chance of getting the season pass for TWD season 2
As well I.
I am devoted to bringing high quality graphics to deliver to you the best possible performance. A thread should made combine these. I will be uploading that on day one.
This is kinda outrageous. The creator of this thread had ALL comments removed, because other people shared their videos. Hevan forbid someone sees a video not directly to his. Suggestion, make a sticky for playthrough. It will save space. You don't have to thank me for doing your thinking. .
Im the creator of this thread and i did no such thing, i can see perfectly clear of all the videos posted that are not mine
UPDATE: Finally a release window of when Episode 2 comes out for The Wolf Among Us, I will try my best and asap to record and get the playthrough up...Thanks for watching and keep up the good work TellTaleGames

Here's another music video for a Telltale game: I personally like the more offbeat tone of the one Domewing made.
I watched a playthrough last night. When Snow died the girl playing the game just cried her eyes out. Am I mean if I was thinking to myself that it was just a video game?
well not really because some people do get emotional depending the situation...for me the only time a game made me cry was episode 4 of The Walking Dead game...
I saw her playthrough. I don't know, I don't think it's all that weird that she cried. (Though she did scream quite a bit, which was strange to me. Lol) To me it's rather similar to watching a movie, and people cry during movies all of the time. Except, in this case I think it's probably even easier for some people to get emotional over the characters because there is a level of interaction, unlike movies where you just sit there and watch.
I admit, I got all misty eyed at the end of the The Walking Dead. I've never had a video game affect me like that, and the list of movies that have made me cry is pretty short. But, yeah, that one got to me. I can definitely see how people could get emotional over these games.
is this to me?...if so i use a game capture for video and audacity for my commentaryDavidsanden27 posted: »
How do you record?
Episode 2 is now going Live

Golden pipes: Working on a weekday
at Orbit
February 22
Last Tuesday was the pilot run of my new "Go out and see shows during the week so my weekend is totally free" plan, and I have to say things turned out even better than expected. Besides allowing even more time for end-o-week indiscretions, it also exposes me to acts that don't usually play on Friday or Saturday night.
Guitarist and singer William Walter is one such performer who I've long typed into the calendar but have never seen live, my familiarity with him mostly coming from an mp3 or two on an old site. So I jumped at the chance to see the real deal.
Upon entering Orbit, it was immediately apparent to me that the trio of gentlemen onstage was a manifestation of the recently dubbed "William Walter Acoustic Trio," featuring Hunter Jones on mandolin, old WW cohort Tucker Rogers on lead guitar, and the man himself on guitar and vocals.
During a long wait that resulted from my showing up early rather than the group's being tardy, the performers fooled around with a laptop attached to Orbit's ceiling projector, finally coaxing it to display pastoral slides which continued throughout their performance.
First things first: Walter can sing, amazingly well. Resembling a Lindsey Buckingham (from Fleetwood Mac) or possibly a Jeff Buckley (from Mrs. Buckley) without the flamboyance, Walter's high soulful voice would be a singular surprise to anyone who had no contact with the artist previously (my notes say "voice like choir of angels," if that's any help with the description).
His songs fall in the folk-rock to country-folk range and are solid in construction and arrangement, but I have to say I caught only two lines of lyrics during the entire set ("I wish you well" and "I left for California" during the second song), though whether it was because of Orbit's sound setup or just Walter's method of singing, I'm not sure.
Lyrically lacking as I was, the group's sound was more than impressive– tight without being stodgy, the songs were replete with mandolin flourishes, great melodies, and the sense of a group of friends playing for the sake of playing and having a great time doing it.
A cover of Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" with a slight reggae feel broke up the set, and the "as we wind on down the road..." heavy section, played with a loose country-folk feel further emphasized Walter's vocal prowess.
I don't know what a gate, a hill, and assorted other bucolic scenes mean to William Walter, but the man has my permission to display anything from postcards to his third grade report card behind him– if he just keeps on playing.
And you have your chance to hear him Tuesday, March 9, at Starr Hill at 10:30pm. See the calendar listings for the inside scoop.

Student or Learner
You are given a land to use it in anyway you want.In what way would you use this land?
Schools, universities and colleges are remarkable places for growing young adults and developing science. Since my own univerisity has several shortages, such as the size of it's land and facilities,I have always dreamed of a university which is large enough to have place for any activity students enjoy.Given the chance to build whatever I want, I believe I would construct my ideal university, in a way I wished my univerity was.
First of all, I would build a big library. Our university's library is rather small, it does not have enough space for students to sit in the library to read the books and study.I have seen pictures of some of the best university's libraries,and they were amazing.Big halls for bookshelves and extra rooms for studying and reading, makes students comfortable and energize them for studying more and more.
Secondly, in my opinion , a good university must pay attention to different aspects of it's students needs. What I mean is that, along whit creating an effective environment for studying, universities should accomodate their students with gyms,pools, and grounds for playing sports, such as tennis,football and basketball.
Finally, in my university , one of student's problems during their study is that, sometimes, there is a gap between our classes in a day, so we really dont know how to spend these hours. we often go to library to study, but sometimes we need to do something rather than study, something amusing that relieve our stress and exhaustion. Therefor, I would definitely build some cafes or snack bars in the universities yard, helping students to gather,eat and enjoy discussions with their friends.
All in all, according to what have been said, in devising a plan to construct a building, engineers, should consider different facets, meaning that, when they are drafting a building for a university, they shall not just pay attention to the number and size of classes, they should care for needs of those who want to study there,too. I myself would surely pay attention to these facets,and I would construct a great building for a university.

Following back-to-back victories over D.C. and Toronto, the Revolution aims to make it three straight wins on Saturday night against the San Jose Earthquakes | Important TV info >> | MatchCenter >>
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The last time the New England Revolution visited Buck Shaw Stadium to face the San Jose Earthquakes, forward Kheli Dube scored the game's only goal in the 55th minute to hand the Revs their first victory in the Bay Area since July 22, 2000, snapping a six-game winless streak in San Jose.
It's been more than a year since that match – which was the 2009 season opener for both clubs – but the Revs will be in search of a repeat performance when the sides square off on Saturday night, April 17, at 10 p.m. ET.
Currently tied atop the Eastern Conference standings with both the Kansas City Wizards and New York Red Bulls, the Revolution (2-1-0, 6 pts.) has been one of the hottest teams in the league in recent weeks, having won back-to-back games against D.C. and Toronto while outscoring its opponents 6-1 in the process. Highlighting last weekend's emphatic win over TFC was a second-half offensive explosion in which the Revs found the back of the net four times in just 19 minutes.
But while the Revs are feeling confident based on their last two performances, they'll meet an equally confident opponent in San Jose on Saturday night. The Earthquakes (1-1-0, 3 pts.) opened their season with a 3-0 home loss to defending MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake, but bounced back with an impressive 2-1 road win over the Chicago Fire last weekend. The Western Conference club was led by the resurgent Bobby Convey and rookie defender Ike Opara, who linked up to score the game-winning goal late in that victory over the Fire.
Opara – who was selected third overall in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft – may have shown his propensity on the attacking end of the field with the decisive goal in just his second professional appearance, but the former Wake Forest standout has also been steady in defense. On Saturday night he'll likely be charged with the task of containing Revolution forward Zack Schilawski, who became just the third rookie in MLS history to record a hat trick with the first three goals of his professional career against Toronto last weekend.
It just so happens that Schilawski and Opara will be quite familiar with each other, but not as opponents. The pair played together at Wake Forest for three years before both were selected in the first round of the 2010 MLS SuperDraft.
"We were text messaging the other night and he was saying, 'Don't think you're going to get three against us,'" Schilawski said with a chuckle. "I'm excited to play against him, but it's going to be a challenge. He's the real deal. He's athletic and he's tough, so it should be a good matchup."
While Schilawski and Opara are both expected to start on Saturday night, the Revolution will be missing a few key figures because of injury.
The news out of New England on Thursday was that 2009 MLS MVP finalist Shalrie Joseph did not make the trip to the West Coast after re-aggravating the right hip flexor strain which forced him to miss the first two games of the season. He made his 2010 debut against Toronto FC and recorded an assist in a 75-minute performance, but he will not be available to the Revs in San Jose. He is joined back in Foxborough by Nico Colaluca (L knee sprain), Edgaras Jankauskas (R calf strain), Mauricio Castro (R ankle pain), Matt Reis (L shoulder/knee surgery) and Taylor Twellman (concussion).
Hopefully somewhat counteracting the subtraction of Joseph, however, is the addition of Serbian midfielder Marko Perovic. After making his Revolution debut with a 20-minute substitute appearance against Toronto last weekend, Perovic has had a full week to train with his new teammates and find his legs following the time change, and it's possible that he'll be ready for an increased role against the Earthquakes.
If Perovic does find himself on the field at Buck Shaw Stadium on Saturday night, he'll have to adjust to the narrow dimensions of the venue. With less space to work, play is often dictated in the midfield and teams typically emphasize quick passing and spreading the ball wide.
"[You have] fewer touches on the ball," said midfielder Pat Phelan, who could replace Joseph in the starting lineup. "Obviously width is huge, so every time you get the ball you're going to have to look wide and really get the ball out of your feet as quickly as possible, because it's very easy to close down space in such a small field."
According to head coach Steve Nicol, the narrow field presents a sort of double-edged sword. It becomes much more important to use the full width of the surface, but because the field is narrow, it becomes all the more difficult to do so.
Even so, past results indicate it's a factor to which the Revs can adjust.
"It's pretty tight, it's pretty small," said Nicol of the field at Buck Shaw. "But it's one of those things you have to deal with. We can't complain – we had a great result there last season, so we've shown that we can go there and get a result."
Although the field will play its part in the game, Nicol said that the outcome is ultimately down to the attitude of the players.
"We just have to make sure that we approach [this] game with the same conviction that we have done the first three games," he said.

1. Ecuador
Ecuador tops this year's Global Retirement Index. To rank our winners this year, we analyzed 37 critical data points, and Ecuador won for the third year in a row. Flowers bloom everywhere, and not one but four rushing rivers bubble over rocks to feed the lush vegetation. In Ecuador, nature is ever present. And you can enjoy it fully in the city of Cuenca. The colonial churches, grand mansions, shady parks and fountain-anchored plazas have earned Cuenca worldwide recognition for its beauty. A mild climate makes for comfortable living year round. Average daily temperatures reach into the 70s, and the nights are cool and fresh. And Ecuador is one of the most affordable countries in the world. You can rent a furnished, two-bed apartment in a historic center for $220 month, or buy a large condo for $66,000. You can live well for $600 a month and like royalty for double that. For retirees, colonial Cuenca is Ecuador's most attractive city. The third-largest in the country, it offers the relaxed pace of a smaller town with the first-class amenities and the health care of a bigger one. But Cuenca is not the only option in Ecuador. This is a country with something for everyone: beaches, rural highlands and colonial cities. "No matter where you choose to live in Ecuador, there is no better place on earth to discover the simple abundance of health, tranquillity, adventure and beauty," said expat Patricia Farmer. "We chose Bahia de Caraquez on the coast. … There are plenty of amenities, including a hospital, restaurants and frequent expat get-togethers." Farmer and her husband, Ron, arrived at their new beachfront home in February. "We knew no one. And yet we immediately felt at home," she said. "Living in Southern California, we were spoiled by the warm climate and beautiful beaches. Retirement would — or should — have given us time to enjoy all that more fully. And yet we had no realistic chance of retiring anywhere near a beach in California. "Looking back now, we're glad we needed to look elsewhere to fulfill our retirement dreams." Because Ecuador's official currency is the U.S. dollar, you have no problems determining the cost of goods or services. And health care in Ecuador is cheap. An appointment with a doctor averages $25 (without insurance). Cheap insurance is available even for people older than 65. Ecuador's senior-citizen discount program is intended to help its own citizens, but the country's constitution guarantees foreign residents the same rights and benefits as citizens. Among them are 50 percent off public and private transportation within the country.

Pyramids - The Inside Story. This site was created to accompany an episode of the PBS Nova from 1997. The description from the site reads, "Have you ever dreamed of exploring the pyramids of Egypt? If so, enter here, wander through the chambers and passageways of the Great Pyramid, and learn about the pharaohs for whom these monumental tombs were built. You can also follow the 1997 field season of a team of archaeologists as they excavated the bakery that fed the pyramid builders."
There are several tours in QuickTime VR of various sites including the Sphinx. It also explains how the pyramids were constructed and by whom. There is also a brief article on hieroglyphs.
There is also coverage of a 1997 excavation of the bakery that fed the pyramid builders. It took a lot of people (30K+) to build pyramids. Feeding and sheltering them must have been a colossal undertaking comparable to marching a huge army half way across the world.
Blog of Dr. Miland Brown that features different aspects of world history. Not everything can be covered but sites dealing with any historical issue or topic are possible future posts. Also includes sites which discuss teaching history. Dr. Brown is an academic in North America.

Kindyfees needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 30 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
The Hunter Valley Alphabet Academy
We are a brand new childcare centre looking for a lovely logo to set us apart from our competitors.
We want to position ourselves as up-market and boutique kindy but in a fun and childlike way. We want our families to be proud of our centre and for all other families to aspire to have their children there. We want children to drive past and say to their parent's 'wow - what's that - i want to go there'. Our logo needs to speak to children and parents alike.
For parents (mainly Mums) and children alike. Parents who want their children to have the best but at an affordable price.
We don't want alphabet blocks please but are open to anything else. happy bright colours - maybe some bright pastels and bolds mixed. We would like 'The Hunter Valley' in a smaller font than 'Alphabet Academy' which should be in large lettering.

Strategic planning answers a basic question: Where do you want to go as an organization?
Another way to put it is: What do you want to see happen? Or, again: What do you want to accomplish? That question begs another: How are you going to get there? How are you going to realize your aspirations? A sound strategic planning process helps leaders arrive at informed, clear answers to these most basic questions.
Why should we bother? (Who knows what the future will bring anyway?)
A popular adage used in strategic planning is a retort to this question: If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Nevertheless, some of us are familiar with situations where much time, effort and money was spent on producing a very elaborate plan, only to have it put into a three-ring binder, placed on a shelf, and collect dust until a new occupant in the office threw it out. A good strategic plan is valuable in that it provides a continuing reminder of what you really want and need to accomplish, even in the midst of a hundred other possibilities and detours. It provides clarity about mission, vision, values, and priorities… And that clarity helps leaders make more informed decisions about everything from program initiatives to infrastructure requirements.
What does the process involve?
The strategic planning process can be relatively quick and simple or lengthy and complex. How extensive the process should be depends largely on the size and complexity of the organization. For example, an agency with a single program and a budget of less than $1M requires a far less elaborate approach than an agency with multiple programs and an operating budget over $5M. Nevertheless, every strategic planning process, however abbreviated or extensive, should include these elements:
- Review existing Mission, Vision, and Values Statements and revise and refine as appropriate. If no such statements exist, draft them so that the organization has succinct descriptions of what it does (mission), what it wants to accomplish (external vision), and how and/or why it does its work (values). These statements are the foundation of a strategic plan.
- Assess the organization's current situation and context by gathering and analyzing information from both internal and external sources. Most commonly this is done through a "SWOT Analysis" – a survey and review of internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats.
- Build agreement about strategic priorities. The assessment will likely point to where the organization needs to focus its time and energy. Arriving at consensus about strategic priorities sets up the plan's overall framework.
- Identify functional goals and specific objectives. The goals explain how the established priorities will be achieved in general, and the objectives detail how each project will be tackled. They provide the "finish work."
- Adopt the plan and commit to reviewing it regularly. A strategic plan should be formally adopted by a vote of the board. An annual review and revision is best done by a committee composed of both board and staff members.
Who should be involved in the process?
At a minimum, the board of directors and the senior staff need to be involved actively in all major steps of the process. Sometimes, a planning committee guides the process and coordinates the participation of others. The assessment stage particularly may involve getting input from a range of internal stakeholders and external experts. These may include affiliate (national/local) representatives, allied organization leaders, clients, donors, members, neighbors, partners, referral sources, sponsors, and authorities on the subjects most relevant to the organization's purposes.
When should the process be undertaken?
Every organization without a strategic plan should have one. So, in general, there is no virtue in waiting. However, there are certain circumstances when some delay is prudent. Do not attempt to launch a planning process if the organization is about to change executive leadership or is in the midst of dealing with a crisis.
What happens when the planning process is completed?
It is critically important for the plan to be monitored regularly and revised as appropriate. Even more importantly, the plan is worth nothing without an implementation schedule. As soon as the plan is adopted by the board, prepare a timetable that assigns goals and objectives to lead individuals and provides dates for progress and/or completion. A date should also be set for an annual review.

PUEBLO, Colo. — Like many Latinos in Colorado, Earl Payne can trace his lineage to Spaniards who came to the New World more than 400 years ago. With his surname, light complexion and sandy brown hair now gone gray, the commercial loan officer never much felt the sting of discrimination of some of his forebears, like his brown-skinned, World War II vet father.
Like his four brothers and sisters, he graduated from college and found success, as did his children. But he also grew up poor and remembers summers picking crops with his siblings for $1.40 an hour. Those memories are one reason he can't vote Republican, he said.
"I think the Democratic party is more geared toward low-income and middle-income individuals, trying to help people get ahead the way I got ahead through education," said Payne, 59. "Romney said if you need to go to college, get a loan from your parents. That wasn't possible for us growing up. We were a very poor family."
Payne is part of a largely overshadowed swath of the Latino experience — multigenerational U.S. citizens who have little or no recent connection to Latin America.
