This strategy guide has been created to help guide you through this awesome game; however, there are a couple rules that you need to remember as you cruise around:
1.) Save whenever possible. It refills your life bar and magic power.
2.) Always try to see every corner of every room. Finding the Relics and Familiars that are located throughout this game is half the fun. Oh yeah...the weapons aren't bad either.
3.) Learn to use your shield. It will save your life.
4.) When you get a new item or weapon, always check it out in your equip menu to see what it does and how powerful it is.
5.) Break every candle and vase you see. You never know what you might find.
6.) Once you get the mist form, it is very useful for cruising past difficult enemies (though it is good to fight everybody, since you'll need the experience).
7.) If you are having trouble with an area, it's always a good idea to cruise around and get more experience, and then try again.
This is the only time in Symphony of the Night where you'll control a Belmont and use the standardized Castlevania whip. The only thing you'll have to do here is slay Dracula. Don't worry, you're immortal. The real game doesn't start until after this sequence.
Here, Alucard shows that he is a very deadly vampire - complete with a deadly sword, and a plethora of spells. First, get used to the controls and how the spells, map, and weapons work. Now, run to the right. After battling a few wolves and zombies you'll run into Death. He is not very pleased that you are still alive, and will strip you of all of your weapons. After this sad occasion, continue on the path to the right, go up, and head to the left. In the first large room (which we will call the main hall), kill the green armored skeleton to obtain a short sword (equip it). Then, as you work your ways up the stairs, enter the middle room to the left and save.
From the save point, grab the relic Cube of Zoe from the pedestal at the top of the staircase and then head through the door to the left. This door will take you to the Alchemy Laboratory. From here, the game will become less linear, and you'll actually have to use your head. Your first goal here is to grab the Hide Cuirass from the globe past the block of spikes all the way to the left of this room. Now, head up to the next room, jump over the spikes to the left, and destroy the blue flame to obtain the Leather Shield. Then, climb up to the series of platforms in the center of the room. From here, head up past the elevator and exit using the door on the far left. Note: There is a Save Point located in the lower right-hand room next to the elevator.
Before you head up the platforms, make sure you enter the secret rooms located down and to the left. Now follow the passage up and to the left, making sure to grab the Resist Thunder potion from the lab table along the way. In the next room you will encounter a semi-difficult puzzle. First, hit both switches so the spikes go down. Then, push the crate onto the spike casing to the right, then hit the switch to move the crate up. Now, use the crate to jump up to the path that leads to the cloth cape. After you get the cape, head back to the puzzle room and then exit through the door that's up and to the left.
Follow the series of platforms down and back up, making sure to visit the save point along the way. At the top, the passage on the left leads to a mystical door that you can't open yet, and the other, to the right, leads to the first boss. Before you enter this room, make sure that you have the axe power-up (located in the topmost flame), and plenty of hearts.
To kill these bad boys try and keep them together as much as possible, especially the blue guy who shoots flames. Keep him off your back. Use the axes to take damage off of both of them when then are together. Otherwise, crouch and hack them to death. Your reward is a Life Max Up. Exit the boss area to the right.
Without going up, follow the path until you can no longer go to the right. You will run into an elevator. Use the elevator to visit the two floors located below where you will find the Basilard Sword and Sunglasses, respectively. Make sure you pull the lever in the cannon room to open the passage, but don't fall back down into the library. Instead, backtrack to the upward passage just after the boss area, and head up. Stop at the Save Point on the right, and then exit this room at the top right. Continue going right until you come to another open passage where you can go up or down. Either way will take you where you want to go, but if you fall down, you will encounter a potion. Exit this room to the right.
Proceed to the right and then down. In this room, there is an exit that leads to the Clock Room on the top right (don't go there), and a Save Point in the middle and to the right (go there). After saving, head down and then exit to the left. Follow this passage until you reach the bottom. First, head to the left and grab the Spirit Orb relic that shows enemy damage. Then, head out to the right and follow the winding passage (taking special care when fighting the Plate Lord and the Ctulhu) until you come to the door leading back into the main hall where you found the Cube of Zoe.
Press the switch to lower the block and create a link between the main hall and the Marble Gallery. Save in this room if you wish, otherwise head back through the Marble Galley and take the passage that leads into the Clock Room (you know, the place we told you not to
go earlier).
As you make your way to the right, you will run into Maria. Talk to her, and you'll be back on your way. Continue going to the right, follow the winding passage until you come to a fairly large room with two exits to the right, and then take the door on the lower level (the other passage is blocked by a magical door). Follow the Long Hallway and it takes you all the way to the east side of Castlevania called the Outer Wall.
This section is actually a large tower filled with deadly villains, multiple exits, and an interesting lower level. In this room, the first order of business is to go down and then directly left to fight the Armor Lord. After you defeat him, enter the room he was guarding, and break the wall on the bottom left-hand side. Now, go back out and explore the rest of this area. Obviously, you can't go through the mist door yet, but you can look out the telescope at the bottom of this area by pressing up.
Head back up to the entrance of the Outer Wall, and take the topmost passage heading left. This passageway will basically make a U-turn up and over to the next level of the Outer Wall. It contains a Save Point all the way to the left, and a doppleganger boss on the next level. Use your shield to block his attacks, and get in close when you attack, otherwise he'll quickly evade your swipes. After you kill this impostor you will be rewarded with a Life Max Up, and a Gladius Sword.
Now, continue on up the Outer Wall. The first door to the left is the Library (skip it for now), the second contains a teleporter. Use it and grab the Heart Power Up on the other side, and then return to the Outer Wall. Continue up past the sword demon, and activate the elevator by flipping the brown switch below it. Head all the way to the top to enter the Save Point, and then go back down to the elevator (make sure you skip the door between the elevator engine and the Save). In the elevator you will find the Soul of Wolf relic allowing you to transform into a Cronos form by pressing R2. Now, head to the library. You can either walk there, or use the elevator by going down one floor.
This area is fairly long, and since some of the enemies in the Library can cast a curse on you, make sure you break the lanterns to obtain the Uncurse item. First, you want to go all the way to the left on the bottom level to get the Bronze Cuirass. Now, backtrack and take the stairway up to the next level. As you go up, you'll want to zigzag up and over to the left. Eventually you'll come to a room with an old man selling items. You can buy what you want here, but make sure that you save enough money to purchase the Jewel of Open ($500) that opens all the blue Mystic Doors, and the Castle Map ($103). We also recommend the Sabre ($1500), it will make killing so much easier. Next, head over and up to the right and grab the Faerie Scroll relic. Now, leave the Library and seek respite at the Save Point located in the U-turn that connects the upper and lower Outer Wall sections. From here, head back down the Long Hallway.
In the room following the Long Hallway, you must take the top right passage that leads to the Mystic Door (you remember the one we told you about in Meeting on the Way to the East Side). Go in and flip the switch. Now, in the level directly below you, the floor has opened up. In there you will find a Library Card and an Attack Potion. After that, head west and you'll discover another downward passageway that has opened up. It leads to the Underground Caverns. Take it!
As you work your way down you'll come across a save point in the right-hand passageway on the left. Save if you must, otherwise head to the left. Keep going west (avoiding the downward passage for a moment) and grab the Heart-Up and Bandanna. Now take the downward passage (making sure to visit the room off to the left); however, don't exit this staircase area. Instead, climb back up and head back to the right. Save again, and then follow this passage downward.
Eventually, you will fall down the well into a huge water-filled cavern. The first exit to your right contains a Save Point, but your objective is to go to the lowermost room on the right which contains an easy snake boss. From here, continue to your right, but don't worry about grabbing the sword, just concentrate on getting up into the next cavern. Go fight the boss to the right. To succeed, just kill the two snakes, then jump up behind her and slash away. After she dies you will find a Crystal Cloak in the room to your left. Now, head back (don't worry, the water's gone) and grab the Scimitar Sword (not as good as the Sabre) and the Resist Ice Potion to the right.
Now, head back up and follow the left cavern passage. First, push the block over to the left and plug the leak so that it fills up the room with the four enemies in it. Whatever you do don't fall in the water. Just continue on to the left until you enter the next room. In here, grab the Pentagram (yes, you'll take some damage), and then fall down the waterfall, making sure you stick to the waterless left wall. At the bottom, go under the waterfall and grab the Max Life Up, then take the exit to the left. Keep going west and eventually you will come to an oarsman who will take you to the Merman Statue. Ride back with the oarsman and then take the upward passage that lies just to his right. This will lead you back to the beginning of the game. From here, your next goal is the untouched staircase-looking area located on the leftmost part of the map.
You can get there by going through the Alchemy Laboratory and then entering the passage that is blocked by a Mystic Door (check out the Alchemy Laboratory section for more details).
Immediately, you will run into Maria once again. Say hi, and then enter the Royal Chapel. The room directly to your left is a Save Point (once again use it if you are low on health), and then head up and over to the vase on the left to acquire an Aquamarine Ring. Next, proceed up the long stairway, sneak past the spinning puppet sword, and enter the room on the lower right. Inside here you will find the Knight Shield. Then go back and scale up the stairs on the right and exit. In this room these is a confessional to the right. Sit in the left chair and a priest will come out and give you food.
Next, climb to the top of the steeple and grab the Silver Plate and Max Life Up. Exit out the passage to the right. Keep traveling east and you'll come across another steeple with a door to the right, and then a boss at the end of the hall. This boss is really easy. Just stay away from his flame and destroy his eggs once they appear. Your reward is a Life Max Up, a meeting with Maria, and the opening of a door to your immediate right. Through this door you'll come across yet another steeple, and a Save to your right (we recommend you use it). At the top of this steeple you'll find the cutlass (still not as good as the Sabre), and a passage to the right. Take it.
After a long passage you will come to an area with two moving platforms. Take the platforms up and then enter the area to the left. You will find the Leap Stone and a ring at the far west side of this area. Next, enter the room to the right of the platforms and grab the Tyrfing Sword (a cursed dark sword with 0 attack). Go back down and then enter the room on the bottom right and it will lead you to the teleporter. Take it to the Outer Wall.
From the Outer Wall take the Long Hallway back to the huge clock that keeps track of your gameplay time (but make sure that along the way, you grab the stop time weapon). Stop time in this room and the statue on the right will open up. Double jump up and grab the items. After that, if you wait in the Clock Room, the statue to the left will move and let you go up. Once inside, head to your left and grab the Life Max up. In the next room you'll enter Oxford's Quarters.
Follow the passage and you will come to a floating sword. The bottom right-hand wall of this room can be broken. In here you will find some vases that contain cheese, an Onyx, and a Broad Sword (finally a weapon better than the Sabre). Head back to the main room and kill the Poltergeist if you dare; otherwise, avoid it and enter the passage to the upper right. In here you will run into a few nasty villains, and a helpful teleporter at the other side. Use it, and save if you need to. Now, backtrack to the only door you haven't entered in the room featuring the Poltergeist. This door will lead you to the Coliseum.
First, drop down the first stairwell and grab the Heart Max Up in the passage to the right. Up one level on the right you'll find a Save. Next, head all the way up and then to the left. Work your way west, taking the high road until you come to a switch which will drop a wall linking the Coliseum and the Royal Chapel. Now, head back and drop down the stairwell east of the switch you just hit. The middle passage on the left is a Save Point. Use it if you must and then proceed up and to the right until you reach the darkened area below the staircase. Here you will find a Library Card, and Richter and his goons. These bosses are fairly tricky, unless of course you keep both of them to either side of you. Use whatever spells and special power you've obtained to wax these guys. You will fare much better if you have the Timer Heart Weapon, or the Dagger Heart Weapon. After you beat these guys, you will receive a Life Max Up.
Immediately after the boss room you will come across the Form of Mist. Make sure that you hit the switch right next to the pit, and wait until the elevator appears before you grab the Mist form. Now, trek across the rest of the Coliseum (leaving nothing untouched) and you will find the Shield Rod (this is a tough room to get through), and the Blood Cloak, located down the elevator and below the boss room. From here, return to the Outer Wall.
In this tower (which you know so well), head down to the grating that you couldn't pass before (located just below the Armor Lord), and use your Mist form (by pressing L1) to pass through the grating. In here you will find Jewel Knuckles, and the Mirror Cuirass.
Now, head up to the Long Library. Deep within the Library, you will find a stairway that has another two stairways hanging over it. Use your double jump skill to reach the lowest of these two stairways. From here, you will run into an open-ended Save Point. Exit to the left of the Save, and continue on until you enter a large room.
In here, go up and proceed past a series of platforms until you reach a passageway at the top leading to the right. Inside you will find a Stone Mask, and a bookcase that can be moved. Behind the bookcase you will find a Topaz Circlet, and a Holy Rod. Head back to the Main Room and then work your way down and to the left. Here you will run into a fairly easy boss. Defeat the mudmen that appear and you'll waste him in no time. Grab the Life Max Up, and proceed to the left and follow the passage. In this hall you will find a Takemitsu (two-handed sword), an Onyx, and the delicious Frankfurter. Then, use the mist form to go through the grating above these items and you will find the Soul of Bat relic. Now, before you leave the Library, use your bat form to hit the second staircase you couldn't get to before. Here you will find the Faerie Card, activate it. Now, exit the library and enter the Clock Tower (located above the Library - accessable through the
Outer Wall).
Walk to the left until you enter the huge open area, then fly straight up and enter the passageway to the right. In here you will find the bat form 2. Next, you will have to do a series of nasty jumps as you work your way left (or just fly through it all using Mist form). But, be sure to pick up the Magic Missile and Pentagram, located on the small ledges next to some of these jumps. After this you will find yourself in the gears of the clock. First, proceed up and to the right. Here, use the bat form to fly out and slightly down. Out in the void you will find the Ice Mail, a Shaman Shield, and a Bekatowa Sword.
Now, head back into the gear rooms and continue on to the left and then down. Be sure to hit all four gears in these next two rooms until the noise they produce turns from a clank to a clink (if you hit it one too many times you must start over). Hitting these correctly will open a door sealed by a metal gate in the bottom left-hand corner of the room with the last set of gears. Inside here you will find a Steel Helm, a Gold Plate, and a Star Flail. Next, continue up and to the right. If you have the Faerie Familiar activated she will tell you there is something funny about the topmost wall. Break it and you will find a large secret area holding a Heart and Max Life Up. Now, backtrack and exit to the left. At the bottom of the screen, on the left-hand side you will find a wall that can be broken. Inside is a hidden room and the Healing Mail. Now, go up from here and proceed to the left. The second floating pillar in the next room contains a Shuriken, and the room after this is a feathered boss. Trap him in the upper right-hand corner and continually jump and slash him until he is dead.
Now, grab the Life Max Up and continue on to the left. The room up and to the right is a Save Point, and the room above it contains a Falchion Sword. The room to the left is extremely large. Use the bat form to explore every part of this, except for the building structure (which is up and to the left from you). If you fly up and to the right you will find two Life and Heart Max Ups, plus the Ghost Familiar. On one of the ledges on the left-hand structure you'll find a Turkey power-up. Plus, right below the building structure we told you not to enter is Mist Form 2.
Now, go back and save. Here you will come to the end of the game. You can do this if you want; however, there is much, much more still to go (we did it just to see the first ending). If you do want to beat the game, head up to where we forbade you to go before (to the left). Richter is an extremely tough boss, and we recommend that you have the Faerie equipped to regain some health. The easiest way to kill him is to stay away from him, turn around, and jump at him when he jumps at you. At the right moment, whack him, and he'll be toast. Game Over.
Now that you've stuck around with us until the end, you'll need to find tons of items and hidden rooms. Well, you don't need to find them, but you'll probably want to find almost everything. From here on in, we'll just tell you the location of items, and from the experience you've gained (by now you should be a Vampiric Jedi) we're sure you'll be able to find your way through the rest of the castle.
Now, here's the last thing that you'll have to do in the 'regular castle.' First, make sure you have the Gold and Silver Ring. To obtain these you will need to have the Echo of Bat Relic to pass by the spikes to get the Spike Breaker Armor. Next, equip yourself with this armor and head up to the Silver Ring location. Use the Armor on the spikes and grab the Ring. Finding the Gold Ring is simple, just head over to the well leading down to the underwater cavern, and use the bat form to enter into the previously unreachable passageway along the eastern wall. From here enter the fake Save Point (to the right of the real Save), and defeat this treacherous boss. She'll die, and drop the Gold Ring.
Now, equip these two Rings and return to the large clock (located directly in the center of the map). The floor will open and you will run into Maria in this new secret zone. She will tell you that Richter is being controlled by someone, and you will need to destroy whoever is using him as a puppet. To do so, she will give you a pair of Holy Goggles. Now, take these to the final boss (Richter - located at the top of the screen), and destroy the green floating sphere over his head. From here, the new Inverted Castlevania will appear.
Simply put, this is an exact replica of the map that Alucard uses for the first castle. In fact, he gave it to us, with the location of the rest of the items remaining in the first castle. To use this guide, simply match the number of the item on the list with the same number on the map. That's where the item lies. Sometimes they're hidden, so make sure you search the rooms carefully. Also, by using this map you should be able to find the entrance to all the secret rooms. It is also important to note that we did not list all the items that you can find, we just listed the important ones.

2 - Morning Star
3 - Boomerang

17 - Iron Ball
18 - Echo of Bat (2)

21 - Wonder Drug
22 - Gravity Boots
23 - Bandana
24 - Holy Symbol (snorkel)

26 - Claymore Sword
27 - Meal Tickets

29 - Gold Ring
30 - Nunchaku
31 - Resist Ice
32 - Herald Shield
33 - Demon Card
34 - Ring of Ares
35 - Power of Sire
36 - Sword Card (Must use Holy Book Heart Weapon to break ceiling below this room.)
37 - Karma Coin
38 - Combat Knife
39 - Bloodstone

45 - Ballroom Mask

50 - Silver Ring (Use Spike Breaker Armor to pass by spikes.)
51 - Strength Drug
52 - Hammer
53 - Holy Glasses (Use Gold and Silver Ring at clock.)
54 - Alucart Shield (Use Stop Timer Heart Weapon at large clock to open this passage.)
55 - Alucart Mail
56 - Alucart Sword
57 - Resist Stone/Resist Dark/Resist
58 - Holy/Platinum Mail (Hit switch below this room to open secret stairs.)
Before you enter the second castle, check your relic menu. If you have seven empty slots, then you have found every relic in the first castle. The others you will find in the second castle. The trick to beating the second castle is to travel to all the same places you did in the first castle, except now there will be new bosses, harder enemies, and new items. To help you travel this land, we advise you to turn the map upside down so you have an idea where the saves and transports are (because their locations are still the same).
Good luck!

ONEONTA, N.Y. (AP) Underground fraternities like the one where a freshman was found unconscious before dying from a combination of drugs and alcohol have been a longtime problem for the upstate New York college town, police said Tuesday.
Oneonta Police Chief Douglas Brenner said Daniel William Michaels, 18, of Dix Hills in Suffolk County, died of cardiac arrest after being brought to a local hospital in a private vehicle early Saturday. Michaels was found unconscious on a couch in the off-campus home of Alpha Pi, a frat that's not recognized by the State University of New York at Oneonta, Brenner said.

"…provide an opportunity for gates to be open more at times when fish are not affected and in general to process requests as quickly as possible." ~ Sen. Dianne Feinstein
The bill provide $300 million for water projects, but Feinstein admits it's not going to solve all of California's water problems.
"The estimate is that this could bring about some new water but not the sun, the moon and the stars, so it is not a big, broad bill."
House Republicans passed legislation to ease environmental laws that restrict the flow of water in the San Joaquin Delta. It's unclear if or when the Senate bill will be voted on but for it to become law it will need to be coupled with its House counterpart.

How many time can i start over? As many as I need to, until it is done, until I stand unconditionally.
I have started thing process over and over many times, every time purifying my starting point, and correcting my application, pushing myself further
I have been walking for about 2 years now, but today I start again, it's back to day one. Why am I starting over? I want to be clear within myself, that I have decided to dedicate myself to this process, I am dedicating myself to myself as life.
What does this dedication mean? Walking breath by breath, not allowing myself to fall into the traps of the mind, traps that I have programmed into and as myself and now am blind to see them, dedicated to revealing myself to myself, accepting myself as what I have accepted and allowed myself to be and become, so that from this acceptance and embracing of myself, I can change. Only through seeing who I am, I can stop being controlled by who I am, and start walking as the directive principle of myself as life, equal and one.
My agreement with myself is to breathe, to slow down, to write myself to freedom, and apply self forgiveness, to allow myself to realize myself without judgment.
I can use the self judgment as a red flag, to show me where I am still hiding from myself, where I am still not allowing myself to see myself as who I am. Believing in this judgment is why I fall, this is why I give up, I allow the self judgment to compound until it is too much, and it feel like I cannot do anything without the back chat of judgment in my mind putting me down…. I let go the judgment.
Slowing down within breath, realizing I can only walk one step at a time, one breath at a time, not getting caught up in the fears and worries of not being capable but rather simply do whatever it is until completed, always within breath.
I have noticed that much of what's distracting me from doing what I intend to do, is thoughts of incompetence. So I am in my mind, listening to my back chat, instead of being here as breathe, and simply doing what needs to be done, within the pace of breath.
This reminds me a story, I went hiking with a friend in Nepal years ago, and I had a local man walk with me carrying my bag, me and my friend would walk up the hill and would get out of breath every few minutes. I just couldn't continue, had to stop and rest. As we were resting the man with my bag came walking by in a consistent and stable slow pace, he passed us and kept on his way, in a stable consistent slow pace. he was never out of breath, and he never had to stop to rest, he was strolling this hike. My point is – to be consistent and SLOW DOWN!!!
I have been rushing and getting myself out of breath, and then I have to stop and rest, and it feels like I need to rush to get things done faster, but it just doesn't work this way, if I do things slowly, within the pace of breath, that will be most efficient and most supportive, and will eliminate much of the self judgment that come up when I can't walk anymore and need a break…

KCKPS Awarded Head Start Grant
KCKPS Awarded Head Start Grant
Contact: David A. Smith, chief of staff, (913) 279-2242 or (913) 744-5104
Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools has been notified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that it is the recipient of a five-year, $6.7 million per year grant to provide Head Start services for children and families in Wyandotte County. The grant will provide 560 part-day and 318 full-day slots for three and four-year-old children, and also support work with their families. KCKPS is the lead agency in a community partnership that includes churches, social service agencies, day care providers and public agencies.
"We are thrilled to receive news of this grant award," said Dr. Cynthia Lane, superintendent of schools for KCKPS. "Research clearly supports investments in supporting brain development in children's earliest years, and we are strongly committed to developing the highest quality Head Start program in the country."
Head Start is a federal program that promotes the school readiness of children ages three to five from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social and emotional development. Head Start programs provide a learning environment that supports children's growth in:
- Language and literacy
- Cognition and general knowledge
- Physical development and health
- Social and emotional development
- Approaches to learning
Head Start also supports work with families on health and safety, child development and parenting, providing them resources and knowledge to support the growth and development of their children.
KCKPS submitted the grant in October, 2013, and since then has been working hard to prepare for the possibility of receiving the grant.

Most of us would hopefully not consider cheating, particularly in serious situations. The feeling of guilt would overcome us. Or would it? New research suggests that cheaters are more likely to feel upbeat than remorseful following a dishonest deed.
Researchers from the University of Washington, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania and London Business School conducted a study that analyzed people's emotions following the act of an "unethical" deed.
The study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, involved more than 1,000 participants from England and the US. Around 400 were from the general public aged between late 20s and early 30s, while the remaining participants were in their 20s and attending university.
The participants were required to carry out a series of six experiments, which involved a variety of tests and puzzles. Before and after all experiments, the subjects were asked to complete questionnaires regarding their emotions.
'Cheater's high' after dishonest behavior
The study revealed that those who cheated on the test were happy rather than remorseful.
In one experiment, the participants were divided into two groups to carry out a computer-based math and logic test.
The participants from one group were asked to work out the answer to the question. Once completed, they were moved on to the next question. In the other group, participants were asked to calculate the answer to the questions, but they could also click on a button that would give them the correct answer.
Results showed that 68% of the participants used the answer button, which the researchers counted as cheating. However, those who cheated portrayed emotions of happiness following the test rather than remorse.
Nicole Ruedy of the University of Washington and lead author of the study says:
"When people do something wrong specifically to harm someone else, such as apply an electrical shock, the consistent reaction in previous research has been that they feel bad about their behavior.
Our study reveals people actually may experience a 'cheater's high' after doing something unethical that doesn't directly harm someone else."
In another experiment, researchers observed two groups of people who were asked to solve math puzzles in a room with a person pretending to be a participant.
The researchers told the real participants that they would be paid for every puzzle they solved within a certain time limit, while the acting participant would grade the tests when their time was up. In one group, the actor falsely increased the participants' scores, while the actor of the other group scored them accurately.
None of the participants who had their score increased reported the lie and felt better on average, compared with those who had accurate scores.
"The good feeling some people get when they cheat may be one reason people are unethical even when the payoff is small," says Ruedy.
"It's important that we understand how our moral behavior influences our emotions. Future research should examine whether this 'cheater's high' could motivate people to repeat the unethical behavior."

DAVIE — Critics who came to Town Hall this week to protest a "monster" apartment complex being planned next to their homes scored a small victory.
Council members told the developer to go back to the drawing board and work out a compromise with neighbors. They expect to revisit the issue on May 23.
The drama unfolded Wednesday night before a Town Hall packed with residents opposed to the sprawling 264-unit complex dubbed Palm Ranch Apartments.
"This project is a monster," said Peter Mineo, a Calder Farms resident worried about his neighborhood losing its quiet, rural charm. "Do not put this elephant on this postage stamp."
Mayor Judy Paul, who won re-election last month on a campaign for smart growth in Davie, agreed that the project was just too big and didn't mesh with the neighborhood.
"It kind of boils down to common sense," Paul said. "Is this a smart development for the area? Perhaps an apartment complex would work here — but not one with so much density."
The developer urged the council to approve the project Wednesday night and let them work things out by second reading.
Paul rejected the request, saying it would only cause "unnecessary turmoil" for the would-be neighbors.
Some residents were so worried about what they called "the threat" to their neighborhood, they lawyered up weeks ago.
"I've been retained to fight this and fight it to the end," attorney Tucker Gibbs said outside Town Hall.
"Everyone wants to see development in Davie," said Gibbs, who is representing the Exotic Acres community. "They just want to see it in the right place. Put it in downtown Davie. Don't put it where it's not needed. Don't put it where it's not wanted and where it's not compatible with the area."
Inside Town Hall, Gibbs warned council members that the apartment complex would dwarf its neighbors.

The blog Lowering the Bar has brought to my attention a 33 year old Kentucky man who will be entering a plea of Not Guilty by Reason of Caffination to murder charges.
He was consuming 400mg of caffeine a day, which caused him insomnia and therefore psychosis. 400mg is about 4 cups of coffee, and as anyone who has spent a lot of time playing with Death by Caffeine*, it takes 91 cups of drip coffee to kill a 200lb person.
We'll see how this goes. Until then, watch the people in line with you at *$, and don't make any sudden moves or loud noises around them.

The housing market continues to struggle, propped up by existing-home sales but hamstrung by foreclosures and weak prices. The National Association of Realtors reported a 2.4 percent increase in sales of existing single family homes, townhouses, condos, and co-ops in May—the "first back-to-back monthly gain since September 2005."
But existing-home sales were off 3.6 percent from May 2008 and were spurred by low mortgage rates (which proceeded to rise) and a shot in the arm from a first-time buyer tax credit. Meanwhile, sales of new one-family homes in May slipped 0.6 percent from April and 32.8 percent from May 2008.
And Local Market Monitor, which forecasts prices in 315 markets, shows stable or rising (by single digit) prices in 50 of those markets in 2010. "If you add up all the markets where we forecast a double-digit decline in home prices in the next year, they hold about 25 percent of the U.S. population," notes Ingo Winzer, president of Local Market Monitor. "Consumers are running out of credit," he says. "There is a lot of pain associated with foreclosures, and banks will continue to hurt."

My Caring Cross. These crosses have quite a story and truly make special, unique gifts. Each one is handcrafted from olive wood, and they are made on the outskirts of Bethlehem.
About 20 years ago, the founders of this company went to Bethlehem and met Issa. He is a Christian artisan who is struggling along with other Christian artisans due to tourism decline in Bethlehem. This site exists to help support these by creating a market for these crosses in America.
Each Caring Cross is made from a single piece of olive wood from the birthplace of Christ. Christians have been carving these crosses for hundreds of years, and now they are available to you. The purpose of each of these is to create a cross that can fit comfortably in your hand. It can be used as a prayer or comfort aid. It can even be used to calm children's fears.
When the cross arrived, I noticed how wonderfully it fit in my hand, and I immediately thought of Christ's supreme sacrifice on the cross for my sin. Every time I look at it, that is what I remember. I do not receive any special comfort from it--I use it more as a memory aid. It is special to me that it comes from Bethlehem, and it is a nice time of year to think about this. I am awestruck as I look as this cross. To think that God loved me so much that He sent His Son into the world to save me, a sinner, from my sin and death! Sometimes I forget, but this serves as a wonderful reminder.
What I really like about this cross is that each sale of these crosses gives a Christian artisan in the Holy Land a fair price for his work. They are also portable. I think they would be something to take on a journey to remind me again of Christ's sacrifice. As I hold one in my hand, I can meditate on the true meaning of Christmas. My Caring Cross is a wonderful gift for anyone who could benefit from comfort--cancer patients, graduation, baptisms.
Selling one cross is always wonderful, but these are fantastic fundraisers as well. Selling by volume is the best way to help these Holy Land Christians.
They have also just launched a new wedding cross favor that can be placed in a cream bag with a personalized card. They are made from the same olive wood, and they will still help these artisans.
Because you are reading my blog, you have a chance to order these crosses at a special price. Check out this site to order two crosses with bags for $10 (U.S. only) including shipping--a $2 savings!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Tender Mercies
I have been missing my father lately. What to tell you about my father? He was larger than life, not particularly tall, strikingly handsome though and full of personality. When you wished he'd tone it down that's when he turned it up. I woke up this morning and my throat was aching and I thought about my father. When we were children my father took care of us when we were sick. When I was 11 or so we took a summer trip to Missouri to visit family. Notice I didn't use the word vacation because nothing in Missouri ever felt like vacation. We caught frogs, went to Nascar like things and my cousins shot turtles off logs. My brother was sickly when he was little but I seldom got sick. I had broken bones mind you because I was out of balance and careless then but never really sick. So on the way home from MO in the back of the pick up truck with the cap on the top, sitting on lawn chairs that tilted to the side when my father would turn (yes, this was not a vacation) I was ill. My father took me directly to the hospital and I had tonsilitis.
For my mother to take time away from work was difficult as she ran the show and when my father took time off it was usually to work another job so we would have money put away for a vacation or a new car or something of that sort because my father didn't believe in running up credit. He made me paranoid about it also as I never have a running credit balance. As kids we had a Sears card that my mother would pull out if the washer broke or we needed new school jackets.
So my father elected to stay home and take care of me. This was so rare my brother was sure we were doing something secret and I wasn't sick at all. I can't help but smile thinking my brother will call me every day now just so we can laugh together for a few minutes. Soon he's going to be a father. Well, he's not bringing a child into the world. He and the pretty younger girlfriend are adopting an English Bull Dog named Mr. Smoochums (can you imagine what they will name a child?). You have no idea the preparation that has gone into bring this puppy home. I didn't prepare like this when we carted Richie home from the hospital. My brother who never emails me emailed me photos of the puppy, like someone sends out ultrasound photos. The first day this dog chews up an expensive pair of their shoes, the first time it craps in his arms while he's carrying it down the 5,000 stairs to their place it won't all be so cute.
In the rare moments I think of my father tenderly it was during the week I had tonsilitis. He was so excited to be home just doing little things around the house without my mother being there to nag him. He reveled in cooking family dinners, huge elaborate dinners to make my mother giggle, amazed that he attended to the little details. He'd bring me mashed potatoes and ice cream and we'd watch Bozo in the afternoon on the little black and white TV on the end of my bed. We played checkers and he told me things, life things he felt important for me to know. You are wondering now what those life things are. Well Charlie always had a wisdom about him that ran in two directions. In one direction, complete insanity the other such common sense that you can't believe he found the insight. It was even hard to put the thought process together, wonder of the experience to know how he'd arrive to the life conclusions let alone to share them with others. Charlieisms:
Never take a greyhound bus anywhere. People who ride on a greyhound bus either have lice or don't mind having it.
Always wear a hat. Ok, this didn't work for me because my head is too large for hats and I have never found one hat I looked good in.
The trick to good health was keeping your feet dry.
Men who work hard are never drunk. He didn't mention women, I assume he thought they should never be drunk.
People of color didn't really know how to swim. His proof of this? Ever see a really good olympic swimmer of color?
Men in the Marine corp are better men and they have brothers all over the world.
Children should never be heard past 5pm and he's home whatever he wants to watch on the tv is what we are watching even if that means the mating practices of any african animal on marlon perkins
Planet of the apes could really happen
You can always superglue a cut if you dont have bandaids
So he'd glide in, tool belt on, a pencil tucked behind his ear held by this giant flush of dark hair. He'd kiss me on top of my head and he was off again. He'd float by after my nap, feel my forehead and just my luck at 3pm all that week on wls, the planet of the apes movies. He'd make Stan come in and watch too but sit across the room in the big french chair my grandmother sat in while she watched Sox games in the afternoon. The three of us "holding down the fort" until my mother came home. This week he'd fix the dishwasher that she used to store pots for a year. He worked in the garden, worked on the pool filter and looked through the yard for snakes so my mother could hang sheets on the line without screaming like a maniac but mostly he was my guardian and my caretaker.
At the end of the week on Sunday morning while my mother was at church with my brother he'd come in my room, sit at the little electric organ and play swing low sweet chariot and sing loud, waking me. "hey your tonsils saved us from a morning of church wanna watch wrestling with me?" We cooked breakfast, I felt better, the fog of sickness lifting and tomorrow morning he'd be back saving the world. He ate the world. Richie hardly remembers him and he's like my father, a bull in a china shop. He's not as brilliant as my father but he's more tender when you aren't sick. I remember being fresh from heart surgery home,home finally. I told Richie I needed some chicken broth hot in a cup and he said "I'll have to check the salt content on that." I kept thinking how horribly had I screwed up that Richie was in charge and we had to think of the salt content of anything.Soon he will be back at school and my house will be mine again. When I floated through the house yesterday there were two tvs on, the stereo running on the counter and I ached for quiet.
take your head around the world
see what you get
from your mind
write your soul down word for word
see who's your friend
who is kind
well it's almost like a disease
and I know soon you will be
over the lies
you'll be strong
you'll be rich in love
and you will carry on
no no no, oh no
no you won't be mine
take your straight line for a curve
make it stretch
the same old line
then try to find if it was worth
what you spent
why you're guilty for the way you're feeling now
it's almost like being free
I know soon you will be
over the lies
you'll be strong
you'll be rich in love
and you will carry on
no no no, oh no
no you won't be mine - Rob Thomas
My father would like that I was writing about him this morning, this hazy lazy summer morning. We've had a rainy cool summer and those are the summers I like the best. Today I am making a bracelet for suzy's visit, something she will love with not too many beads. I am going to wander to the farmers market and find the perfect melon and some very ripe tomatoes to practice something wonderful to cook for her. I'll work all day because that's what I do and I think tonight I will watch the hulk. I could use a little mindless entertainment. If my father were still alive I'd make him lunch and take the kid over to see him, he always liked that best. We'd talk of life and I'd put my head on his shoulder and wait to hear him say, "this shit passes." Bukowski would say life is a "river of shit." word.

UPDATED: 12:30pm ET
Prime time television ratings for each of the Major League Baseball up to a week before the All-Star break show an increase over the same period last year, according to data from Nielsen. Using data for each of the 29 domestic U.S. clubs (Nielsen does not track ratings in Canada so the Toronto Blue Jays are excluded), 13 clubs are seeing gains, compared to 12 seeing losses. The 2014 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants see an average household rating the same as a year ago (4.86).
The percentage of gain is approximate based on teams playing uneven numbers of games during the same span up to the week before the All-Star Game from last year to this. A single ratings point represents 1 percent of the total number of television households in a given designated market area. This is why the Royals can have a much higher rating, but the viewership numbers will be lower.
On top of this, MLB at the local level is dominating summer programming. Each RSN televises an average of 148 MLB game per season, most in prime time (7p-11p), when the television audience is the greatest.
Ten teams are the highest-rated, most-viewed programming in prime time beating the competition in both broadcast and cable. These teams include the Kansas City Royals, St. Louis Cardinals, Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, and Arizona Diamondbacks.
Another 6 teams rank no. 2 or no. 3 in local prime time TV, including the Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers, Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins, and New York Yankees. While another 11 teams rank no. 4 - no. 7 in local prime time TV ratings, including the Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies, Washington Nationals, Colorado Rockies, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, Houston Astros, and Oakland Athletics.
When excluding broadcast television, 25 of 30 clubs are ranked the #1 rated program on cable since the season started.
Leading the charge is the 2014 American League Champion Kansas City Royals. The team that has captured not only the heart of KC but many in markets that do not host MLB teams due to their break in futility last season and the management style of Ned Yost who puts on the steal more than most in recent memory. The Royals on FS Kansas City sees a whopping 114 percent increase in ratings over the same period prior from a 5.93 to a scorching 12.69. They are followed by the St. Louis Cardinals (10.17 rating, up 35 percent from last year), the Detroit Tigers (a 7.68 rating down 8 percent from 2014), the Pittsburgh Pirates (a 7.61 which was nearly flat from last season at the All-Star Game break), and the Seattle Mariners with a 6.29, up 10 percent from the 5.72 at this point last year.
While the numbers appear small in the listings, the Houston Astros 1.85 rating is a significant achievement. Last year at this time they were mired in the CSN Houston bankruptcy battle and had no carriage outside of Comcast in the Houston market. This caused rating numbers to be virtually useless (on more than one occasion the Astros on CSN Houston registered a 0.00 rating during the tumultuous period). After getting out from underneath the bankruptcy and onto the new ROOT Sports SW, the Astros see a 1.85 viewership average. While the numbers were not made available for this report, according to the SportsBusiness Daily, the increase was four-fold over 2014.
Another interesting look at the numbers centers on the New York Mets. After years of controversy surrounding ownership and investments with Bernie Madoff, low attendance, and poor performance on the field, the first half of the season the Mets seems to be getting some traction. They see a 27 percent growth in viewership for prime time games over last season.

The 2013 UAAP Cheerdance Competition, easily one of the most-anticipated events on the UAAP Season 76 calendar, is slated a week from now. Here's a teaser video featuring the Ateneo Blue Babble Battalion, set to "We Own It (Fast & Furious)" by 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa.
The BBB is not among the traditional powerhouses in the UAAP CDC, but here's hoping they'll surpass, or at least equal, their best-ever finish—2nd place in 2009—in this competition.

Hi all,
I have a Hotspring Triumph since a year. I replaced the water 4 times since. A recurring problem is the fact that the free chlorine disappears quickly. When I add chlorine (via bleach) the reading via test strips indicates 10PPm. after 1=2 hour it is dropped to 0, while the spa covered and not in use. (we prefer to use it while open ) PH, alkaline and Stabilizer (CYA) are kept perfect referring to the the test strips.
Adding 5 ounce of bleach brings the Chlorine back to 10PPM. I am puzzled. The water is perfect in appearance and no odours or anything negative...
I don't want to cure an non-existing problem, but I would like to understand it.
Thanks for any reaction.

Destiny Beta Code Giveaway
We are giving away more than our fair share of Beta Codes for Destiny, make sure you get one.
Over the course of the next few days we are going to be giving away a plethora of Beta Codes for the upcoming Bungie game Destiny. This shooter from the studio that brought you Halo is all about a science-fantasy romp in the far future, where humanity is embattled on all sides by alien menaces.
Thanks to Bungie, we're going to be giving away Destiny Beta Codes through a wide variety of ways, you will be able to find them throughout the site. Don't miss ENN, because there could be a code or two in that video. Do you frequent our Forums? You should, because we may, and will, be giving away codes in a variety of threads. But wait, there's more! You'll be able to find Destiny Beta Codes throughout every facet of the site, they're everywhere.
Once you find a Destiny Beta Code it's so easy to get signed up that is should be criminal.
Happy hunting and we hope to see you in the Destiny Beta.
Very clever. Making sure that the people who really want beta codes use all areas of the site more often.
Unfortunately I only check in on the forums and such rarely, and will likely never be the first person to get to any of these codes. Ah well.
Good luck, folks.
If you get a beta code, do you have to get PSN+ to use it, as it is a multiplayer game? Or the Xbox equivalent?
You didn't need it for the alpha,
You didn't need it for the alpha,
Very cool, Escapist. I already got myself a beta spot reserved but it'd be cool to get another code for a friend. If there's that many codes to spare.
Time to start looking!
I love it! Hope I can find one!
An easter egg hunt? Okay, THIS is how you do these things, not that "first come first serve" bullshit.
This sounds fun, I'm definitely going to give it a go. Don't know how good I'll be at it, but what the hey.
You can redeem your beta code for the platform of your choice!
An easter-egg hunt is infinitely more interesting than whoring out your twitter account to Lockerdome, so I'm in.
New to the site, awesome idea and great site. I must be blind though because I've looked around here for what seems like hours and have not seen a beta code at all. Help out the new guy :)
Hello I am new on this site too. I am wondering how to find those beta codes, are there randomly shown on site?
Hello I am new on this site too. I am wondering how to find those beta codes, are there randomly shown on site? Sorry for double post, I dont know how that happend ;(
If you guys are lazy you can just order on Amazon and cancel, they email it immediately but don't charge your credit card until it ships.
Certainly not lazy, been looking all around the site to find a code and just haven't found one yet. Will just keep looking. Thanks for the kind advice there DJ Chapman.
Can we get any hints towards where to look?

HI I have had a problem for a couple of years with my Hayward millivolt heater. The burners won't stay lit consistently. When I bypass the pilot generator the burners light, but when I remove the jumper, the burners stay on for a while, or shut off immediately.
I have replaced the gas valve and the pilot generator, checked all connections, switches, pressure switch, limits, etc. and all is well.
Pilot stays lit no problem
The heater worked flawlessly for 5 years and started getting cranky a couple of years ago. I replaced the gas valve last summer on the advice of a gas repair guy, but that didn't help
This year I replaced the pilot generator, thinking that this was the last piece that could possibly be causing the problem
Now I am at a loss for next step in troubleshooting
This is a very simple heater so I would think that the fix would be simple too but it's evading me
Hoping for a lifeline! Any assistance MUCH appreciated!

Well, hello again State of Hockey Legion! For those of you who haven't swung by this website since April 15, welcome back! Shame on you, but welcome back.
Some of you may be familiar with the live in-game commentary that takes place on the Gameday page for each and every Wild game. Today, we're going to utilize that same formula as we provide Draft coverage live from the General Motors Place in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia (Note: It's a written law around here that any time one uses the words Vancouver, British Columbia, they must be preceded by one of the following adjectives: gorgeous, scenic, lovely or beautiful).
I am coming to you live from the very last row of the media risers here at the Garage, and before me are hundreds of middle-aged men in fancy suites, who are chatting, chewing gum and planning their draft/trade strategies.
Before we get into the meat and potatoes of the event, let's wish a happy St. Jean Baptiste Day to all the Quebecois and Quebecettes who might be following along. In your honor, perhaps the Wild will select a young French Canadian like Derrick Brassard, Stefano Giliati, Claude Giroux, or Pierre-Marc Bouchard's kid brother, Francois. All of them possess talent, upside and superb hockey names.
Secondly, I would be remiss to not wish a Happy Birthday to Tom Thompson, the Wild's Assistant General Manager who will be running the show for today's draft. Every pick the Wild make today will run through this man. Draft Day is where his bread is buttered, but today, it's also when his cake is frosted.
Thirdly, I would like to congratulate the Carolina Hurricanes on winning the Stanley Cup, and thank the city of Vancouver, its people and the NHL for putting on an exceptional event.
Nearly all of the Wild's heavy hitters are in Vancouver today including chairman Bob Naegele, Jr., President/General Manager Doug Risebrough, head coach Jacques Lemaire, nearly every team scout, and of course, Wild media relations guru, Aaron Sickman.
Keep your computers locked to this page, and keep hitting the refresh button. We will be bringing you live updates, features and in-draft commentary as the Minnesota Wild embark on the franchise's seventh NHL Entry Draft.
The draft begins at 5:00 PM central time, and can be viewed live on OLN through the first round. But we'll be here all night baby! So don't you go anywhere, I don't care how nice it is outside back in our great state of Minnesota.
The later rounds
11:20 - That's going to do it for this year's edition of live in-draft commentary. I hope you had as much fun as I did. And may I say, welcome to the Pavol Demitra era.
11:15 - The Wild wraps up its 2006 draft pick with another Minnesotan, and a state champion, in center Chris Hickey of Cretin Derham Hall high school.
10:47 - The Wild makes its sixth round pick and takes Julien Walker of Switzerland and...I can't find anything on this guy. You might have to do a google search.
10:25 - My dreams of "catchy headline" nirvana are dashed when Edmonton steals away Cody Wild in the fifth round with the 142nd pick.
10:14 - The Wild makes its fifth selection of the day, taking a goaltender from Finland, Niko Hovinen. Get this, he's 6-foot-7, 200 pounds. His father was a world class javelin thrower.
10:00 - Most of the prospects that are in the building have been taken, but a random burst of excitement erupts from the stands when Pierre-Luc Lessard is taken with the 121st pick by Ottawa.
9:36 - There's the Minnesota connection for the Wild. With the team's fourth round pick at number 102, Minnesota goes with Apple Valley high school defenseman, Kyle Medvec, who towers at 6-foot-5, but could use a few of these NHL Draft cookies to pack on some weight to his 190-pound frame.
9:26 - Round three wraps up with Carolina taking Harrison Reed, and St. Louis back on the clock in round four.
9:25 - There are a few prospects in the stands still anxiously waiting to be picked, but the atmosphere has significantly changed. The cheers are all but gone, and a lot of the decorations are being taken down.
9:24 - Warroad's Aaron Marvin goes to the Calgary Flames in the third round with the 89th pick.
9:13 - Two Minnesota connections are taken back-to-back with the 80th and 81st picks, as Michael Forney of Thief River Falls goes to Atlanta, and future Gopher Michael Carman is taken by Colorado.
9:06 - It's meal time for this cat. I'll check in after devouring a prime rib sandwich.
9:04 - Once again, don't every pay attention to what I say. The Wild brass doesn't. They opt for Cal Clutterbuck, who was ranked 24th overall in the final Central Scouting Rankings. He easily ranks in the top five for great hockey names available.
9:00 - The Wild is up next with the 70th overall pick, and my prediction is that we're going to scoop up Providence College's Cody Wild, for naming purposes only.
8:48 - Just like that, the second round is over. We are flying through the draft now. Some of the bigger names to go since the Wild picked Fiala were Cory Emmerton to Detroit, Michael Ratchuk to Philadelphia, Nigel Williams to Colorado, Keith Seabrook to Washington and Blake Geoffrion to Nashville.
8:36 - I just returned to my perch after meeting with a very excited Ondrej Fiala. Fiala is clearly learning English, but he did a great job in answering questions without the aid of a translator. Nice kid by the looks of things.
8:24 - It's rapid-fire right now, and the Wild cause the biggest fan reaction in the second round by taking Ondrej Fiala, a native of the Czech Republic, who posted 21 goals and 14 assists in 51 games with Everett of the Western Hockey League.
8:15 - The Bouchard brothers will not team up in Minnesota. The Washington Capitals snatch Francois Bouchard and he embraces his brother, Pierre-Marc upon hearing the news.
8:13 - The second round is much, much different than the first round. Gary Bettman is gone. The players are no longer escorted up to the stage, and meals are being served at the team tables. Several picks are being made with full mouths.
8:06 - Just two picks into the second round goes another Minnesotan. Brainerd's Carl Sneep is selected by Pittsburgh.
First Round highlights
8:01 - Well, it took just under three hours, but the wild first round has drawn to a close with New Jersey's selection of Matthew Corrente. My head is still spinning as I try to spin out stories relating to Sheppard and the blockbuster we just pulled off.
A point of interest is that Francois Bouchard is still on the board, but he'll have to fall 10 more spots for the Wild to have a shot at him.
7:48 - Nick Foligno of Buffalo, New York, is taken by the Ottawa Senators, making him the ninth American taken in today's draft.
7:35 - An eventful first round is winding down. New Jersey and St. Louis swapped picks, and the Blues make Patrik Berglund their second first round pick of the day.
7:18 - Wow! Sorry for the lack of updates. Doug Risebrough just met with a large media scrum to talk about the shocking trade for Pavol Demitra. Basically, he said it was very tough to give up O'Sullivan, who he said really progressed into an NHL-ready player. But he sees the need for proven scorers and veterans at this stage in the Wild's development, and that was why he pulled the trigger on the deal with L.A.
7:12 - Another Minnesotan is snatched off the board as Apple Valley's David Fischer is the first Minnesota high school player taken today, going to the Montreal Canadiens.
6:48 - Holy Schnikees! This is the biggest Draft Day coup in Wild history. The Wild sends its pick, along with Patrick O'Sullivan to Los Angeles for Pavol Demitra! I'm speechless! It's a good thing I'm just a writer.
6:42 - Ty Wishart is taken by San Jose, which traded up with Montreal to nab him. Barring a trade, the Wild is now on the clock once again.
6:36 - OK. I'm back, and it looks like it's almost time for another Wild pick. Six picks were made while I was gone, including Mikael Frolik to Florida, Jonathan Bernier to Los Angeles, Bryan Little to Atlanta, Jiri Tlusty to Toronto, Michael Grabner to Vancouver and Riku Helenius to Tampa Bay.
Sheppard seems like a great young kid. He was very soft-spoken, yet personable, and he is extremely excited to be going to Minnesota, which drafted a good friend of his a few years back, Jean-Claude Sawyer.
6:18 - It's time to go chat with our new friend, James Sheppard.
6:05 - Tom Thompson does the honors for this one, and he makes James Sheppard out of Cape Breton of the QMJHL, the ninth overall pick in the draft. He's described as an "a good skater with a long fluid stride and agility who is strong on his feet" by the Central Scouting Report. He put up 30 goals and 54 assists for 84 points in 66 QMJHL games last year.
6:02 - It's go time my friends. The Wild have the next pick. I have a strong suspicion that Jiri Tlusty will be the seventh first round pick in Wild history. Let's find out shall we?
5:59 - All hail the Great One. Wayne Gretzky makes his way to the stage and gets a rousing ovation from the crowd here. He looks embarassed by the response. Is there anyone who doesn't love Gretz? The crowd finally settles down and he announces the selection of another Minnesotan, Peter Mueller. Those Coyotes love their Minnesotans.
5:55 - And I'm completely wrong. The first mini-surprise pops up as they take Kyle Okposo, the second Minnesota-born player to go already. With just one pick before the Wild's choice, look for Minnesota to get Mueller, Bryan Little or Jiri Tlusty.
5:53 - I don't mean to brag, but Aaron Sickman can attest that I'm 6-for-6 right now in calling these picks. I'm calling the New Islanders that they will take Peter Mueller out of Bloomington.
5:47 - It's Columbus' turn at number six. Doug MacLean kisses up to the home crowd by congratulating the Vancouver Giants of the WHL on their championship season. He then takes Derrick Brassard, who Tom Thompson is very high on. He is apparently a high-end talent.
5:42 - Here come the Bruins, who will most likely get Patrice Bergeron some help, by taking Kessel, and they do.
5:37 - The Capitals are next, and they bring Alexander Ovechkin to the stage as they make their pick. He gets a rousing ovation from the crowd, before he announces the selection of Super Swede, Nicklas Backstrom.
5:32 - The Hawks do make a WCHA pick, but they opt for North Dakota's Jonathan Toews, who Tom Thompson compared to Steve Yzerman, which is nothing to sneeze at. Thus far, there haven't been any surprises in the draft. Look for Kessel and Nicklas Backstrom to be the next two selections.
5:29 - The Chicago Blackhawks are next and this could be interesting if they decide to go with Phil Kessel, who would then join his rumored rival, Jack Skille, who was picked in the first round by the Hawks last year.
5:26 - The rumor was that Pittsburgh may try to trade this pick to Carolina so the Hurricanes can unite the Stall brothers. But the Pens hold onto the pick and they tab Jordan Stall to join the already formidable lineup that will include Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
5:21 - A trade is announced, and it involves a Minnesotan: Jordan Leopold is on his way to Colorado, in exchange for Alex Tanguay. There were some draft picks thrown into the deal as well and we'll report those in a matter of minutes. Once again, Leopold changes teams, but stays in the Northwest division. He's on his way to Colorado for Alex Tanguay.
5:17 - The Blues brass makes its way to the stage, and to no one's surprise, they take Johnson after a long-winded speech. It's already a great day for hockey in Minnesota. It promises to get better. The Pittsburgh Penguins are now on the clock.
5:14 - The St. Louis Blues are officially on the clock now. History is about to made when they take Johnson, the first Minnesotan ever taken first overall. Point of interest, there is not a countdown clock that lets us in on how much time they have to make their pick. They do have 15 minutes to make a pick.
5:12 - Gary Bettman is now talking, but I have no clue what he is saying. I'll just say the crowd is reacting loudly, but I won't get any more specific than that.
5:09 - Vancouver GM Dave Nonis takes the stage to welcome everybody to the arena, and gives the token congratulations to the Carolina Hurricanes.
5:01 - It's 5:01, and as we all know, nothing ever starts on time. I'm sure the tv stations are going through their introductions at this point, and we'll be good to go here. At this point, I'm going to go ahead and predict that the Blues will take Erik Johnson of Bloomington, Minnesota. You heard it here first!
4:52 - It's roll call time as each team is asked to respond to their name being called. The Calgary Flames, Carolina Hurricanes and Edmonton Oilers are greeted with loud boos.
4:44 - It's the calm before the storm right now. Pretty much everybody is now where they need to be. The prospects are finding their seats in the stands to the right and left of the arena floor. The management types are finding their seats at their team tables.
4:36 - I minor - and I mean very minor - stir is created by the news that Atlanta's first-round pick in 1999, Patrik Stefan, was traded to the Dallas Stars for Niko Kapanen and a draft pick. The stir was basically one writer telling another writer of the news, and him saying, "that figures."
4:00 - FYI - The chocolate chip cookies that they put out for the media are divine. If I don't gain at least eight pounds, consider it the biggest disappointment on draft day.
3:51 - A beaming Dave Fischer, the director of media relations for USA hockey swings by the Wild.com draft headquarters. It could be a banner day for Fischer's organization as at least 12 Americans are projected to be taken in the first round of today's draft.
Thus far, the Wild has been quiet on the trade front, but we've got a long way to go and anything can happen as they say.
3:30 PM - The main floor, which holds draft tables for all 30 teams, is beginning to fill up as we are now 90 minutes away from the St. Louis Blues taking Bloomington-native, Erik Johnson. Or are we? Currently, the Argentina vs. Mexico World Cup Soccer game is playing on the Jumbotron, while beat writers and columnists swirl about to try and find out about the latest trade scoops. The scuttlebutt is revolving around the Roberto Luongo/Todd Bertuzzi trade as well as Chris Pronger asking for a trade out of Oil country.
