When Once Upon a Time returns, there will be a lot going on in season five [1]. There will be many new characters [2], but let's focus on the Storybrooke denizens that have been there all along. There's been so much romance over the past three seasons, with Hook and Emma's first kisses, Snow and Charming's undying love, and Rumple and Belle's bumpy road. There are several, dare we say, storybook romances on this show, and we can't get enough of them. Let's go over the show's most important couples since we'll be seeing the relationships in a lot of transition [3] this season!
Snow White and Prince Charming
Snow White and Prince Charming's love story is not only a tale as old as time (well, fairy-tale time), but it also might be the most romantic relationship on the show. After a delightfully antagonistic meeting, these two marry and have their first baby, only to be ripped apart by the Evil Queen's curse. In Storybrooke, it took them a season to get together once they gave in to their irresistible pull to each other, and they prove time and again that they're totally devoted to each other.
Rumpelstiltskin and Belle
This relationship started out as a pleasant surprise. In one of the show's subversions of a classic fairy tale, the Beauty and the Beast story was retold with Rumpel as the beast. Despite his terrible behavior, Belle saw through it, and in Storybrooke, they had another hurdle: Belle's imprisonment by Regina. Despite all that (and the fact that Rumpel still clearly has some darkness in him), Belle only sees the good in him, and in the season-three finale, they get married. But not everything has a happy ending here, and the marriage has its ups and downs — i.e., their separation due to his utter Darkness. But will season five see them get back together (if he can come out of that coma, that is).
Captain Hook and Emma
In the show's sexiest pairing [4], the iconic pirate has fallen for the beautiful savior. Like her parents' relationship, this flirtation started out with these two as foes, but Emma softens toward Hook (I mean, look at him). Things have been heating up (the L word is finally said), but considering she's now the Dark One, they might be on a little break in season five.
Regina and Robin Hood
We'll say it: poor Regina. When the loss of her first love essentially propelled her into becoming the Evil Queen, it seemed like she would never find love. She believed that herself for so long, refusing to act when Tinker Bell presented her with the man she was destined to love again, Robin Hood. It looked like she'd finally give in to happiness at the end of the season . . . until Emma reveals that she and Hook had brought back a stowaway from another time: Robin Hood's first wife. Happily, she's revealed to really be the evil Zelena, but unhappily, he had impregnated her. Oops!
Prince Phillip and Princess Aurora
Phillip and Aurora aren't series regulars we get to check in on frequently, but when we do, the Sleeping Beauty couple certainly has the storybook-romance thing down. He wakes her from the sleeping curse, they fall deeply in love, and then they start a family.
Eric and Ariel
The Little Mermaid pair isn't part of our world that often, but just like in Disney's movie, Ariel fights for her man. Here's hoping we see more of this cute couple.

My Take
I do love this series. You can always trust the Corporation to have cool new toys and tricky strategies to bring to the action! When you add in the Oregon's illusions as well as the moral fiber of Juan Cabrillo and his people along with the detecting, it's a can't miss.
Yeah, it's similar to Cussler's Dirk Pitt and NUMA Files series, the names and operations base are different, but the missions are the same: stop the bad guys and their S.P.E.C.T.R.E.-like plans for power. And as much as I adore Kurt and Dirk, Juan has my heart.
Cussler/Du Brul keep the humanity with the jokes and pranks, the compassion, and the chef's ego when it comes to adding salt and pepper to a perfectly seasoned meatloaf, LOL.
This particular story pulls in the history of Nikola Tesla, a much-ignored genius who, in my mind, was much greater than Edison. You may well find yourself wanting to read more about Tesla after this story. There's also an interesting side trip into a discussion on what constitutes science fiction: past and future.
As for drama and tension...there is no lack here. Cussler/Du Brul will keep you on the edge of your seat with foot, sea, and snowmobile chases; rescues from prison, florists, the deep, and capsized boats; and, pirates of all sorts.
It's a fun, escapist read that saves the world and takes you out of yourself.
The Story
Juan Cabrillo has broken out of more than one prison in his life, and it won't be the last, I'm sure.Read more ›
Mirage is a disappointment to me, it focus only on "The Chairmen" as he has cliff hanger events happen to "him" over and over in this book. He is like Superman a one man wrecking crew who always survives perilously situations again and again. But none of his 50 person crew contribute to his success or the story line. For me it gets old pretty fast when he is the only person telling the story even when his crew saves his a** time after time.
I realize these books are not written by Cussler but in the past the writer of the Oregon books has had other charectors help tell the story and develop the plot - not this time. Is this one written by a new writer to me it feels like that is the case.
Chairman Cabrillo is breaking into a Russian prison in Siberia to try and save his Russian friend. Well, OK, not so much a friend as an adversary that he has grown to appreciate. And it doesn't hurt that this Russian has friends who are willing to pay Cabrillo and the Corporation a huge sum of money to get him rescued. So Cabrillo and friends break Yuri Borodin out of prison. In doing so Yuri passes along information that will lead Cabrillo on an adventure of epic proportions.
The gist of the novel is that Nikola Tesla, the man who truly developed electricity, was not just a genius but he had inventions that are still moving the world today towards things like, time travel, teleportation, stealth technology, binding light, etc. What Juan and crew are going to discover is that Tesla's inventiveness has lead to the development of a "cloaking device" that can be used to make a ship invisible to those around it. Basically it produces an electromagnetic field that shields the ship from being seen.
But there are other uses for this electromagnetic field, it can also be used to destroy things. The EMP that it produces can be used as a weapon.
But how that happens is the main plot of this book.
Juan and his crew will be driven through three or four adventures before the story comes to an end. Just when you think the adventure is over something else will happen.Read more ›
The story is great. Let's be real here, these stories are escapist fiction and believability is not that important, nor should stand in the way of a rousing yarn. So Tesla and his inventions once again are used to frame this story. We have the Chairman seeking revenge for the death of a friend and ending up with a syfi problem with flying ships and Russian rouge navy admiral. The action is good and fast paced.
Okay now for the three stars: I believe that books should be consistant in story line. Any time an author "zags" in the middle of a story and goes off to another story and back, that there should be a purpose for it, if not, then 3 stars for story line.
For some reason, toward the end of the novel, Cussler takes off on a wild pirate chase concering missing money from the Iraq war. Just out of the blue we fight pirates and then back to the Russian. All for no reason. Don't get me wrong this little "zag" is well written and entertaining but ......what the heck?

DETROIT -- At 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib was the biggest player at the position, for either team, at Ford Field Sunday night.
So Talib thought it made perfect sense the Broncos matched him up on Detroit Lions 6-5, 237-pound wide receiver Calvin Johnson. And with a guy as big, as fast and as ridiculously talented with the ball in the air as Johnson, Talib knew he would win some and lose some over the course of the game.
But in the end, after a 24-12 Broncos win with Johnson having been held without a touchdown catch, Talib was calling it a win after Johnson finished with eight catches for 77 yards.
"Two (passes) were right in my hands -- one he snatched from me, one we both dropped it," Talib said. "Hey, it's a win. He had about 70 yards, we got the win, no touchdowns from him, that's all you can ask for."
Johnson finished with just two receptions longer than 9 yards -- an 11-yard catch and a 25-yard catch, both on the same second-quarter drive. The 25-yard effort was the play when Johnson essentially ripped a would-be interception out of Talib's hands to convert a first down.
Johnson also drew a pass-interference penalty on Talib in the Broncos' end zone during the Lions' first touchdown drive of the game. The penalty moved the ball to the Broncos' 1-yard line and the Lions scored on the next play, a 1-yard run by Joique Bell.
"I knew I was going to have some help over the top so I was going to have a chance for some good action on the football," Talib said. "A couple of those passes he caught early, I should have really got. I was messing up ... at the beginning of the game."
Talib did have some deep help at times but was largely left to fend for himself against Johnson, who had just three receptions in the second half, none of the three longer than 7 yards.
"You want to make it hard for the quarterback to go with the ball where he likes to go," Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. "We can do that with the players we have in our secondary. If we play our game and do what we're supposed to, quarterbacks will have a hard time going where they want to go with the ball."
When Sunday's game had finished, Talib and Johnson spent some time talking as they left the field. Asked what they said to each other, Talib said: "Just giving him respect, just telling him stuff he already know."

Wisconsin Community Media
It was the biggest WCM/ACM-Midwest conference yet and based on attendee feedback, it was also one of our best.
Prof. Bob McChesney and John Nichols of The Nation kicked-off the conference with an inspiring Opening Keynote on Thursday, April 28 and set the tone for the two-day event. Bob focused on the precarious state of journalism, including local issues coverage since the changed economics of newspaper ownership and television news has led to poorly populated news rooms, fewer news organizations, and increasing media concentration.
John picked it up from there and talked about how essential issues coverage is to the functioning of democracy and exhorted the group to fill the void. "It was a very moving and uplifting speech," said one attendee. "I can't say enough good things about the speakers and the mission they want us to accomplish."
WCM submitted reply comments in FCC Docket 16-41 yesterday to voice the need for Wisconsin's PEG access channels to be carried on the Electronic Program Guide. Currently only 17% of WCM's 51 member access centers have their programming schedule carried in the guide.
WCM provided the FCC with the results of a survey that asked access centers what the stumbling blocks have been to carriage.
Wisconsin Community Media has announced the 2016 Best of the Midwest Media Fest award-winning shows. Award winners will be honored at the Best of the Midwest Media Fest Banquet and Show at the Madison Sheraton Hotel on Thursday evening, April 28. Tickets.
"It's the fest's 18th year and the fourth year we have opened it to a nine-state region. It's also the first year we have accepted LPFM radio entries. Seven of our 51 member PEG (public, education, and government) access centers also operate LPFM radio stations," said Mary Cardona, executive director of Wisconsin Community Media, "so we decided to branch out to reflect what media access centers are doing. It's not just cable TV!" This year WCM received 185 entries from 26 Wisconsin and eight Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, and North Dakota access centers. "Wisconsin shows still make up the vast majority of the entries," Cardona said.
Thirteen media access centers assembled judging panels of four to review the entries. Depending on the score, entries receive an "Excellence Award," an "Achievement Award," or a "Merit Award." This year, 75% of the entries won one of these awards. Programs may also win a "Best in Show" in their category as an amateur or professional entry. The fest also recognizes "Significant Community Programs."
In an end of session statement that will serve as a springboard to a renewed effort next session, nineteen legislators have signed on to sponsor legislation called the "Restoring Wisconsin PEG Channels" bill.
The legislation - SB 783 and AB 1007 - would reform current law in various ways, most importantly by requiring video providers to transmit PEG channels with the same quality reception as local broadcast channels, require providers to list PEG program schedules on the Electronic Program Guide so that viewers can find programming and record it for view later, and allow cities to pass an ordinance to collect a dedicated PEG fee for the support of local channels. Sen. Kathleen Vinehout and Rep. Gary Hebl authored the legislation.
Since 2008, the State of Wisconsin is in charge of cable television regulation. Wisconsin cities no longer have any jurisdiction. Oversight of video providers is now split between the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and the Department of Financial Institutions. The state is funneling all complaints through DATCP and will forward complaints as appropriate to DFI.
DATCP Consumer Complaint Website Online Telecommunications Complaint Form
In 2014 Charter Communications converted its hybrid analog systems to all-digital encrypted systems. This change has a big impact on cable television subscribers in two ways: 1) All subscribers will now need to lease a box/device to receive any programming from Charter; and 2) Community access channels will no longer be carried in an analog format in the 90s. Subscribers will find them in the 980s or 990s only. In Superior, you'll find the access channels in the 180s.
As expected, Comcast is leaving the Twin Cities area. A new company involving Charter is being created to take over these properties. When the Comcast-Time Warner merger is complete and Charter buys out the Time Warner properties, the company involving Charter called "SpinCo" or "Midwest Cable LLC" will be known as GreatLand Connections, Inc.

Actor/comedian Denis Leary lives in the part of Connecticut that Barnes & Noble, Old Navy and Baby Gap have yet to discover. It's a piece of land with rolling hills, trickling streams, towering trees, unpaved driveways, gigantic dogs, imposing horses, and a 125-by-75-foot piece of backyard rink paradise. Norman Rockwell meets Normand Leveille. The next time Normand skates, he'll skate somewhere resembling Leary's Connecticut sheet of backyard ice.
Leary turned 48 last August, but he comes off more like he's 28. He is energetic, creative, chatty, and still hungry after all these years. You probably already know that Leary is a hockey guy. He's done work for NHL Productions and ESPN, hangs with Cam Neely and his charitable quests, and hosts his own charity hockey game with proceeds benefiting the Leary Firefighters Foundation. He loves the game, plays the game and sells the game.
Leary also LIVES the game. Anyone with a backyard rink does. Hockey is at its most exhilarating outside, where the game was born. In many ways, indoor hockey ice is like artificial turf: fake, painted and makes a slappy sound when a bucket of pucks hits it. One of my favorite sounds is when a bucket of pucks is dumped on an outdoor rink or pond. It's a natural, thumping sound that reverberates throughout the ice and permeates any unfrozen water. It's a sound you might hear on a Kenny G CD, if you were forced by a pack of hungry wolves on a back of a meat truck to actually buy a Kenny G CD. Or if you were getting a massage at a hotel spa. Or if you were getting a massage from Kenny G at a hotel spa. Let's move on.
Leary's backyard rink is in the Mercedes Benz class of backyard rinks. It is perfectly level, has underground pipes to aid the freezing process, is lined, and has a tractor/Zamboni contraption for resurfacing. Adjacent to Leary's ice is a skate-changing shed. It's your average backyard rink shed, like one you would find at Home Depot, with an assortment of Bobby Orr autographs, Cam Neely sweaters, and other hockey memorabilia. I felt like I was in the Hockey Hall of Fame -- especially since Neely is inducted next November.
It is Year Four of my backyard rink, "Butch Garden." If Leary's backyard rink is indeed a 2005 Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, mine is a 2002 Nissan Maxima with 101,000 miles on it. Performs fine, a little rough around the edges, but gets me to where I want to go. My rink is 60-by-40, half the size of Leary's. I have the room to make it wider, but not really longer because I have basketball hoops cemented in the ground at the rink's end zones. Makes for fun games of basketball on ice. But looking back, I have the room for about a 90-by-50-foot sheet of ice and if I had to do it all over again I would have nixed the hoops. Ice surface, potato chips and movie theatre popcorn are the same deal. The more the better. If you are thinking about a backyard rink, make it as big as possible. Do not let your spouse put a cap or cost certainty on your dream.
This year has been an up and down year for my backyard rink. It's mid February and we've had about 18 skates, but it's been a streaky year. I keep track of every skate in a backyard rink skating journal, no matter how long the skate, and this year a record was set with eight straight days of skating. Although the eighth day was one of those Lou-Gehrig-leading-off-the-game-and-then-sitting-the-rest-of-the-game streak extenders -- but what a perfect scenario it was. First, about 2 1/2 feet of snow fell in a three-day span in late January. After arduous shoveling, a wonderful 4-foot-high snow bank bordered our 60-by-40 ice cube. It allowed for a Norman Rockwell winter setting and snow boards, which allowed for checking. The temperature ratio could not have been more ideal. Days in the low 30s with no wind, blazing sunsets, and nights in the low teens to firm up any soft spots the day's sun may have created. There may never be a better stretch of outdoor skating at the Butch Garden than late January/early February 2005.
I was invited to Leary's backyard through a group of guys who play hockey with Hall of Famer Pat LaFontaine on Long Island, specifically by Jim Johnson who works with LaFontaine on his Companions in Courage Foundation. These are mostly a group of guys who have just picked up the game. Barely out of double runners. Barry Melrose would feel right at home skating with this squad. What some of them lack in skating ability they make up for in heart and desire. It really is something to watch. LaFontaine's team is called the Low Tides, because, in their words, they stink. They may stink, but they never give up and play with the heart of Martin Gelinas. A couple of weekend's prior, Leary and his boys, The Rippers, headed down to Long Island to play on LaFontaine's backyard rink and the rematch was to be at Denis Leary's compound.
As I winded down the back roads of rural Connecticut, I approached what I thought was my driveway, although I wasn't certain. Until I saw the hockey stick by the mailbox. I took that as my signal.
I drove up the unpaved driveway to a sign. House to the right, rink to the left. I drove by the house and by a small barn with horses bouncing along the uneven frozen dirt. Where was the rink? Then, down in a valley, to my right, through the naked trees, was the rink. Flat and lined and perfect. I made my way down the hill and parked. The first one there. When I woke up that morning I thought we might be in trouble. We had already moved the skate back to 8:30 to try to beat the warm temperatures and beating sun. To make matters worse my windshield was frosted over when I got in my car to leave for Leary's. This meant there was water in the air and that is the enemy of ice. High humidity and the high temperatures put Leary's rink on the shelf. Soft ice postponed this idyllic skating scenario. Time for an audible. So, Leary put out his cigarette, jumped in his SUV, and we headed to a local prep school where Leary skates when the weather drives he and his boys inside.
We played for about two hours, non-stop. Best-of-five games, four-on-four hockey with the nets placed on the blue lines for backyard-rink dimensions. Leary plays defense for The Rippers, shoots right-handed, moves well, and takes the game very seriously. He is not a comedian on the ice. He plays to win. LaFontaine is, in a word, breathtaking. The way he moves and stickhandles is simply stupid. Talent on loan from God. LaFontaine scored 468 goals in just 865 NHL games, and from what I saw, even at half speed and against a bunch of plumbers, there can not be a more talented hockey player ever created. If he had Mario Lemieux's size he would have put up the same numbers as No. 66. LaFontaine is six inches shorter and 40 pounds lighter and was still able to score 468 goals. I'll never skate with a greater talent.
The series went to a fifth game with Leary's Ripper's winning 5-4. Leary's son scored the game winner. It wasn't the backyard rink, but it was still a memorable day. To play with a talent like LaFontaine is a memory for a lifetime. To spend some time with Denis Leary and come away a bigger fan after meeting him than beforehand is always refreshing. But to witness Jim Johnson and his Long Island buddies mucking and grinding and loving the game is what I'll remember most.
In this season, where it's hard to find the NHL hockey love, it's good to remind oneself that hockey is not inside of New York and Toronto conference rooms and empty expensive suits. It's in the grip of a hockey stick from Sully, a goaltender nicknamed Coffee Shop (because that's where they found him), Leary's Neely glare, LaFontaine's heavenly game and a group of people coming together to skate, swear, and score.
The game is alive and well. At BU and Minnesota, the AHL, Junior B in Trail, British Columbia, in-house programs in Columbus, Ohio, and backyard rinks all around North America. It would have been a better day on Denis Leary's backyard rink, breathing the crisp winter air in the midday sun. But driving home on a picture perfect February afternoon, it was still a good reminder that the game is adored and is still alive and well. It was also a reminder that the heart and soul of hockey decidedly does not reside in the National Hockey League. It resides in the heart and soul of the fan. And there it shall live forever.
The NHL Players are greedy and stupid ... Pretty bad combination ... What they are doing is called "raising with a pair of deuces" ... They have no cards and are bluffing ...
The Players' Union (NHLPA):
1) Is only insuring that 3 to 6 teams will be contracted -- this will mean 60 to 120 lost NHL Player jobs.
2) Is ignoring that even an average annual salary of $1.3M is not like "buying a swamp with curtains"
3) Does not comprehend that Arena Football and Draw Poker is found more fun to watch on TV by most American fans. Think about it -- most fans would rather watch other people play cards. How ridiculous and insulting.
4) Is so self-absorbed that they never mention their "paying customers," the fans. It's always about them.
5) Is unable to understand and accept the fact that the universally agreed "best-run" major sport (NFL) has a salary cap and is unbelievably successful.
6) Is unable to see the "hypocrisy" of their members taking jobs from players in Europe and the UHL. Next year, the NHL players will call them "scabs."
7) Is not able to muster the courage from their members to stop Bob Goodenow (a Donald Fehr wannabe).
8) Ignores the fact that a salary cap really only affects the top 20 or 30 players who would then make $8M instead of $10M per season. Why are the other 670 players losing a year's pay to help the top greed mongers?
9) Lets its members call the Commissioner insulting names.
10) Can't seem to understand Negotiating 101 whereby you give in on a salary cap and get all the other things you want as a part of the new deal.

I have been a Red Wings fan for over 45 years and a season-ticket holder for 10 years. But NO MORE. I have cancelled my tickets.
And will NOT follow the Wings or the NHL any longer!
Good Luck to the greedy NHL Players!

P.S. Wings tickets (regular season and playoffs) run for about $13,000 per season. Peanuts to players, but significant money to real people. We have found other ways to use this money in our family.
E-mails like that one make me shiver.
That was a great piece I just it read ESPN.com on 2/5. I ALSO CARE A GREAT DEAL. I cried for 30 minutes last night. I haven't done that since we traded Bourque. It's never gonna be the same, the bond between fans and players is broken and will never be fixed. Bettman and Goodenow DO NOT care about this game. From expansion to this lockout, Bettman has ruined our game. Most of your colleague's think this is funny and say nobody cares all the time on SportsCenter. It's not funny. It's serious to me and people of my "ilk" who love this game and live for the game. It's more than a game; it's a way of life. A lot of guys, like Cameron Neely, said it would be a joke to even play this season. But it's not about this season, it's about next year and starting it on time.
We are in serious trouble.
Angry B's fan,
Matt Foote
I still think it would be better to play this season and get the season going and have someone raise the Cup. Plus, the longer this goes the more there is to make up. Trying to start a season in the middle of an NFL football season is always tough, but this is a long-term rehabilitation process, so maybe it doesn't matter when we get going. The sooner the better.
I gave up on the season and the NHL in January. As much as I loved the NHL, I love the game more. The NHL and NHLPA didn't see fit to provide me with their product, so I must look elsewhere for my hockey alternative. And I will not forget! If and when the NHL returns, I will not be there! I will never go to another NHL game, I'll never watch another NHL game on TV or listen to an NHL game on the radio, and I'll never buy another NHL team's merchandise. The only chance North American major league hockey has to regain my money and me is for the NHL to dissolve itself of its current incarnation and start over. Thanks for your ear (or actually eyes)!
Steve Cornelius
Do the players and owners understand this sentiment exists? And there is no longer any reason to blame Gary Bettman and Bob Goodenow. The two sides could have fired them and cut a deal themselves. I had an agent for a while, but now I'm the only ESPN anchor without one. The lines of communication became too numerous and diluted. Verbs were left out which changed messages and intent. Negotiations took too long. I did my last contract myself with one conversation and an e-mail. I'm sure Mike Ilitch, Mario Lemieux, Jeremy Jacobs and Lou Lamoriello could get in a room with Steve Yzerman, Trevor Linden, Brendan Shanahan and Bob Boughner, deal done in about eight hours, call in the lawyers to hammer out the language details in another eight hours and presto! Hockey season.
My assistant coach and I were standing at the blue line while our bantam players were running drills. My son went to the net hard and got knocked down. He picked himself up and skated over to me. As he approached he took off his glove and reached under his mask. He then stuck out his hand and placed something in my palm. As I looked down, my assistant coach asked, "Is that a tooth?" I nodded that it was, as my son turned to get back in line for the drills without saying a word. The assistant then said with amazement, "Now that's a hockey player. How cool is that!" Here's a kid missing a tooth and playing for free without missing a shift and we can't get millionaires and billionaires to agree. How sad is that?
De Pere, Wis.
Hi John,
With the multitude of articles that are being written regarding the lockout and the "discussions" the two sides are having and the players that have jumped over to Europe to play, please tell me why there hasn't been an article written on this subject: There have been two lockouts under Gary Bettman's watch. Does anyone think maybe he isn't the right guy for the job?
Pete Rose gets banned for life from baseball and the "Best Interests of the Game" is the line you hear constantly in baseball. Maybe in the "Best Interests of Hockey," the league should look into a new commissioner.
John Adams
It will be amazing if Goodenow and Bettman survive this mess. How can they re-sell the game if fans keep seeing their faces? The memory will be too painful for a lot of fans. It will be time for new leadership and new faces.
I woke up in the hospital last weekend after emergency surgery on my spine. I don't really know what the next step is or what happens next but there is a good chance I will not walk again or be able to skate. It scares me, but all in all, I'm lucky and can deal with it. Everyone is taking good care of me, and I'm trying to deal with everything. I woke up in the ICU and one of the first things I saw was a graphic about the lockout and that no one really cared if the season got canceled. It made me cry (I tell myself it was the drugs, but I know better). I care. I miss the game, especially right now, and I know I'm not the only one out there. I always figured they had to work something out and we'd have a stretch run and the playoffs, but I don't have much more faith.
I don't know if there is anything to do about it, but this is one fan's point of view. I miss the NHL. It is important to me and I wish they were playing again.

WOW this is a truly great piconjo JAM MAN HE'S JAMMIN OH SHIT.
smelly rtil - incredibly well animated, graphics are very good for the mood and the effects are used perfectly.
onizuka - slower paced than rtil's, there is still great graphics and some pretty good animation if a bit limited at points.
jerkoffman - lmao transformers! i had to watch this one again because it was well drawn and FUNNY TOO WOW! the NG castle reminds me of the one from rtil's daily2oon that won daily second.
xonk - i'm not really sure what exactly was going on but i haven't really seen anything like it before! interesting effects.
overall, great presentation and great PARTS WOW!
Good Job!
Good Job Man!
lol, i like pico better!
i like pico better than piconjo cus pico has ASS-KICKING POWER!!!!!!!!!!!! lol, but this was great!
Only one thing
Graphics were really good and sounds too... the only thing is that you keep basing all your works on the hate towards Legendary Frog... that is pointless, believe me. If one day you would make something which isn't related to LF by any means it would be a great success.
It was kinda boring and annoying in some parts...
Well to be honest, it bored me. I've seen it all before and making fun of Legendary Frog is really getting old. All I ever see anymore is insults and disses to LF. I like LF, but believe me I didn't let it influence my rating and review. The sound effects for the guns were good, but thats about it for the sound. Most of it was well drawn and looks like you put a good amount of work into it. Also, if that was a tribute to PICONJO, then it really didn't make him look good (I don't know if piconjo is really dead, but i'm believing for the sake of this review). Also, the way you made the last one sounded like you were threatening to hack people who opposed you, just an fyi.

Electricity Prices to Rise Along With Carbon Pricing by 2013
European carbon prices along with electricity costs could rise over the next three years unless utilities have earlier access to future carbon permits, according to the EU electricity association Eurelectric, reports Reuters.
The EU is working on auctioning carbon permit rules for the third phase of its Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), under which, starting in 2013, electricity companies will have to pay for permits to emit each ton of CO2 they generate, reports Reuters. Currently the permits are free.
Eurelectric told Reuters that much of the power generated in 2013 and beyond would have to be contracted before then, so electricity companies would need to buy carbon permits much earlier. The industry group is calling for access to phase three allowances by mid-2011 or the ability to use future auctions, according to Reuters.
If they don't receive an early supply of phase three allowances, Eurelectric estimates that carbon pricing will rise about an extra 45 to 65 euros ($68 to $98) per EUA (allowance) before the end of 2012, which could translate into additional electricity costs of up to 50 billion euros ($75.2 billion) by 2012, reports Reuters.
Some of the largest financial institutions including JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, BNP Paribas, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, Credit Suisse are just a few financial houses calling for emissions trading schemes, reports the JoNova blog. Carbon trading is project to grow to a $2 trillion to $10 trillion market, from $126 billion in 2008, the biggest commodity traded globally, according to the blog.
However, the blog suspects that a sub-prime-like carbon market is on the horizon for several reasons such as the carbon trading market is not based on a commodity but on unverifiable and unauditable permits; they have no value other than what the government says they are worth; and there is potential for fraud and corruption. As an example, two of Europe's top auditors have been suspended over the past 12 months.

Petitioning Republican National Committee
Insist that each of the Republican government-hating hopefuls for the highest office in the U.S. brings a gun (loaded) to each and every one of the Republican debates.
Because these folks keep telling us we will be safer if we all run around armed and ready to rumble like characters in a low-budget Western. Also, there's the added benefit of the possibility of these wannabe Commander-in-Chiefs at least having maybe a background check since they're currently only being vetted by folks with more money than brains.

Rob Griffith, Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Two miles under the sea where satellites and planes are looking for debris from the missing Malaysian jet, the ocean floor is cold, dark, covered in a squishy muck of dead plankton and — in a potential break for the search — mostly flat. The troubling exception is a steep, rocky drop ending in a deep trench.
The seafloor in this swath of the Indian Ocean is dominated by a substantial underwater plateau known as Broken Ridge, where the geography would probably not hinder efforts to find the main body of the jet that disappeared with 239 people on board three weeks ago, according to seabed experts who have studied the area.
Australian officials on Friday moved the search to an area 1,100 kilometers (680 miles) to the northeast of a previous zone as the mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 continued to confound. There is no guarantee that the jet crashed into the new search area. Planes that have searched it for two days have spotted objects of various colors and sizes, but none of the items scooped by ships has been confirmed to be related to the plane.
The zone is huge: about 319,000 square kilometers (123,000 square miles), roughly the size of Poland or New Mexico. But it is closer to land than the previous search zone, its weather is much more hospitable — and Broken Ridge sounds a lot craggier than it really is.
And the deepest part is believed to be 5,800 meters (19,000 feet), within the range of American black box ping locators on an Australian ship leaving Sunday for the area and expected to arrive in three or four days.
Formed about 100 million years ago by volcanic activity, the ridge was once above water. Pulled under by the spreading of the ocean floor, now it is more like a large underwater plain, gently sloping from as shallow as about 800 meters (2,625 feet) to about 3,000 meters (9,843 feet) deep. It got its name because long ago the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates separated it from another plateau, which now sits about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) to the southwest.
Much of Broken Ridge is covered in a sediment called foraminiferal ooze, made of plankton that died, settled and was compacted by the tremendous pressure from the water above.
"Think like it's been snowing there for tens of millions of years," said William Sager, a professor of marine geophysics at the University of Houston in Texas.
Like snow, the layer of microscopic plankton shells tends to smooth out any rises or falls in the underlying rock. In places, the layer is up to 1 kilometer (half a mile) deep.
But if the fuselage of the Boeing 777 did fall on to Broken Ridge, it would not sink much into the muck.
"The surface would be soft, it would squeeze between your toes, but it's not so soft that you would disappear like snow," Sager said. "Something big like pieces of an airplane, it's going to be sitting on the surface."
Searchers will be hoping that if the latest area turns out to be where the plane crashed — and that remains educated guesswork until searchers can put their hands on aerial debris sightings and check what it is — the fuselage did not go down on the southern edge of Broken Ridge.
That's where the ocean floor drops precipitously — more than 4 kilometers (2 1/2 miles) in places, according to Robin Beaman, a marine geologist at Australia's James Cook University. It's not a sheer cliff, more like a very steep hill that a car would struggle to drive up. At the bottom of this escarpment is the narrow Diamantina trench, which measurements put as deep at 5,800 meters (19,000 feet), though no one is sure of its greatest depth because it has never been precisely mapped.
"Let's hope the wreck debris has not landed over this escarpment — it's a long way to the bottom," Beaman said.

WINKS - weekend links. Here we list what has come in during the week, things we've found and things we think you'll want to see. If you'd like to see your blog or website featured email us and if we think it fits with our readers we'll link you. So what's in this week?
- Kylie let us know this week that paper boat press' "online store is now ... well... online! AND… as a special offer during the first few weeks of the store being online i am offering a 10% discount on all orders placed. this special will expire June 10th 2009. to use this special discount you must place the code: PBP in the box provided on the checkout page. your discount will be then calculated once you press enter. " Beautiful beautiful beautiful.
- Monika sent us a lovely email this week and through it I discovered her blog. "I have started my own little blog, Splendid Willow ... I have carved out my own little place focusing on design in my own home country Sweden, mixing it with my new country, the US. (I have lived in the US for 15 years but go back to Sweden a few times a year.) Trying to see it from both perspectives. There I mix my traditional design roots with a little bit more edgy style." If edgy classic with a Swedish twist is just your style you're going to love Splendid Willow.
- Here's one for you Kim. SIDD Fine Woodworking are from Ottawa and hand build exceptional, sustainable custom furniture. The Tilt series is all about angles and a simple, minimalist sense of order. Built from a single chunk of solid walnut, with a Canadian maple inlay to keep your knives in place. Finished simply with natural beeswax and orange oil to bring out the natural colours and grain patterns, Tilt is built by hand over a period of one week by a single craftsman. Also catching my eye is the Hours of Glass dining table with it's seemingly infinite pool of ripples. Think of the workmanship in each of those layers! SIDD merges substance with style, through a commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethics.
- Great new blog alert! Ali Mode is the creation of an ex-Elle Decor/Domino editor. Interior design, food, NY shops and great finds, Ali Mode shares the ideas and inspires.
- Love these cute kits from Dumpling Dynasty available in Australia through Lark. Must get, must get ... oh sorry that was me muttering with a greedy grin.
- Gemma Comas' new photos of darling little flower arrangements by Matthew Mead here.
- It's getting colder in my part of the world and when I found an email from SPARK Modern Fires I fell in love with the idea of a fire place in the bathroom. A complete luxury and totally unnecessary for about 350 days of the year here but oh let a girl dream!
Jason is loving the entries he's getting. He even joked that some of them are so good to begin with that you'll think that we made them up. No it's just that we know you guys are all so design savvy in the first place! This weekend is the perfect time to get your submission together if you haven't already. The deadline is Friday May 15 that's if I can keep a rein on Jason. He's itching to go. Details here and send your entries here.
Robin Stubbert
To end of the week, I thought I'd showcase some really pretty photos from Canadian photographer Robin Stubbert whose work has been featured in Country Living, Canadian Home & Country, and Style at Home (DTI has a mention in this month's issue!). Enjoy the weekend - get some gardening done, visit or at least call your mother on Sunday and I'm going to try and finally get my bedroom done-ish.
the find
This morning a book arrived at my house and what a great way to start off my long weekend (I am off work today). the find is "The Housing Works book of decorating with thrift shop treasures, flea market objects and vintage details". In other words this is one of my new favourite books as that is how I love to decorate! It's FILLED with fabulous photos of spaces that are a wide variety of styles (eclectic, hollywood regency, modern, shabby chic...), and text about not just what to look for, but also how to look at an object to identify a great piece. To my surprise, while I flipped through the book I noticed features by our friends David Jimemez, Vanessa De Vargas, and many designers and stylists we have showcased here on DTI. Here's a little sample of what you'll find in the find, which is written by Stan Williams and photographed by Jim Franco (check here for where to get your hands on a copy).

AFP reported that 's state pension fund is likely to scrap plans to bid for Daewoo Shipbuilding because of global financial turbulence.
The National Pension Service the world's fifth largest, had been in talks with POSCO, GS Group and Hanwha Group to find a partner for the acquisition of Daewoo Shipbuilding.
Hyundai Heavy Industries, the world's largest shipyard, is also interested in Daewoo Shipbuilding, the world's third biggest yard.
The pension fund, with assets of $187b has posted a negative return so far this year due to the financial turmoil.
State-run Korea Development Bank and a government asset-management unit are selling a 50.4 percent stake in Daewoo Shipbuilding, a deal newspapers said will fetch as much as seven trillion won.
They had taken over Daewoo Shipbuilding in 2000 after its parent Daewoo Group collapsed under a debt mountain totalling 82 billion dollars -- one of the world's largest corporate failures.
