A small entirely visible list with the simulcast times for the currently running season would be nice, (Right now it treats past seasons as equal to the current which is a little ridiculous)
Other then that everything's more organized and generally better ^-^:
No Status
The Schedule!! It's back!!
Now the only problem is scrolling half way down the page to find the really useful stuff, and that I can handle.
prancing with purple-bearded toads.
Was the front page here yesterday? O.o; I might be losing it... Well then.. It's perfect, I love it xD
No Status
And the "Coming Soon/Now Showing" sidebar is back! I'm glad you have again proven you listen to what fans want. Maybe next time there's a new site design you should just keep it, though. Anyway, it's still not as convenient as before, since you have to scroll down so much to see it, but it's still a lot better than it was before this. Thanks!
can we get a copy of the old recently added page back with the ep by release like it was, i cant watch like this its to hard to tell when the next ep of what i watch is out, the rest of the lay out is ok but i do think the front page is a bit cluttered.
plz i really would hope you put back the old recently added page!
also i think it may be a bit to hard to find out news like this it took me 30 mins to find this thread and thats a bit much to find new that needs to be on the front page.....
but really i need the recently added page back.... i know what ep im on by that old thumnail setup, now i havent a clue where i am or what is updated
I'm lost and drowning and pay monthly for anime i cant find any more..... plz this is a really big consern form a user thats really likes you product, i just need it more accessible plz
lost please find me
some of us might be more behind your changes if you can explain where stuff got moved too its hard to find some things
im drowning in pages that are hard to find what im looking for
I'm seriously lost and cant find my episodes it takes lot longer to find where im at
i watch almost every weekend (ever sunday) the recently added page made finding the all the new episodes for many different series easy
right now it takes navigation several pages to just get to one new episode than after is over navigating again to find new episodes for another series
.....sigh i give up, ive drowned in the pages i'll figure it out... plz if you can spare me throw me a life raft, plz...
lost please find me
ok i over re-actted and figured it out....but i stll dont like it much, but can learn to use it.....
lost please find me
the front page layout is great =D
its awsome!!!!!thanks
Well I kinda of wish, they add a page where u can '' view'' who is on-line/off without going to each page or person profile.
Be cool to add a '' relationship'' on the profile, so some people can know if ur single, or so , yes i know it a anime site.
Maybe add a tiny store where u can use ur CR points , and buy something to give to ur friends for birthday , christmas, beside the anime membership and that a little more than i normal pay ^^
Over all, it's pretty good.
Boku No Hero Academia is Here!

Stoddard students celebrate reading goal
BLACKFOOT — The laughter and the "ARRRGHHHs" could be heard throughout the building at Stoddard Elementary School as students celebrated exceeding their Idaho Reads! VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) reading challenge at a "pirate themed" reward party Friday.
Annie Tanner, Idaho Reads! VISTA volunteer for the school, said that the goal for the school-wide reading challenge was for the students to read 200 books (with a book title starting with each letter of the alphabet) by March 31. The students exceeded the goal by reading 207 books.
Throughout the year, members of the community helped with the challenge by coming to the school and reading with the kids.
Students who completed the challenge enjoyed the reward party with games, treats and prizes, with the hit of the party being "principal pranks" played on the school's principal Ryan Wilson.
Wilson was a good sport to participate in the fun by popping balloons with his bottom, walking planks and "jello fishing" with his face!
"He [Mr. Wilson] is such a great principal. He loves those kids and would do anything to help them succeed," Tanner commented.
Tanner said that this year's 'pirate' reward party was a particularly special celebration as this is the last year that Stoddard will be participating in the Idaho Reads! VISTA program.
Tanner has served as the school's Idaho Reads! VISTA volunteer for the past three years helping to promote family literacy and encouraging parent involvement at the school.
"This has been an extremely rewarding experience," she exclaimed. "I love to see kids and their families get excited about reading. It has been fun to see entire families participate in this challenge. Hopefully it has instilled the love of reading in kids and their families for a lifetime."
Idaho Reads! VISTA is a 'three-year' grant funded program offered by the State Department of Education and funded through the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Quintessential Summer Fun At Home
Summer in San Francisco is nothing like the summers I grew up with in Chicago. There are few warm days and even fewer hot days, and who knows where one would find batting cages, roller rinks, space to grill, or outdoor pools. There are, however, excellent ice cream shops, and plenty of ways to bring a bit of classic summery-ness to your home.
• How do you feel about these "ice cream cone lamps for eco-friendly bulbs"? I could see them being really cute in a kid's room, or maybe to hang up on a patio for a party. Man, now I want a waffle cone.
• There are a ton of summery home sprays from Demeter, but I narrowed it down to Suntan Lotion, Orange Cream Pop, and Bonfire. Other contenders included Basil, Ocean, and Pink Lemonade.
• The SugarBaby cookbook has a recipe for making cotton candy at home, no machine required! There are also additional cotton candy tips on the SugarBaby blog, if you're having trouble. I would secretly love to own a full-size machine someday, but until then...
• It isn't summer without popcorn, but I'm not suggesting you buy a popcorn cart. No, I'm suggesting you buy a Fragrance Machine which, for only $819-$3,724, will allow you to fill your home with the scent of fresh-popped popcorn. Just like at the movies!
• I thought this list should start and end with ice cream (I really love ice cream), so here we have the porcelain ice cream container, made by kg+ab and available at The Curiosity Shoppe. It is not, of course, a container to hold your ice cream cone, but rather a whimsical vessel to hold your movie ticket stubs, friendship bracelets, skee-ball tickets, and other summer ephemera.

UA freshman proves most persuasive04/24/2013
Paige Dobbins, a freshman anthropology major at The University of Akron, captured first prize and $1,000 at the annual School of Communication Speech Competition April 23.
Paige Dobbins with her first-place award.
Dobbins, a Jackson High School for the Arts graduate, delivered a persuasive problem-solution speech titled "Removal of the Penny from Circulation" to a crowd of about 300 in the Grand Ball Room of Martin University Center. Dobbins was one of five speakers selected from 100 contestants in a preliminary contest held one week earlier at UA.
Sponsored by Pearson Learning Solutions, the School of Communication and the Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council, the judges were Nikki Hawk, marketing director of the Akron Beacon Journal/Ohio.com; Jeff Kinzbach, talk show host for 97.5 WONE; Jeff Goldman, vice president of sales for Pearson Learning Solutions; and Russ Pry, Summit County executive. Dr. John Zipp, associate dean of UA's Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences, was master of ceremonies.
The other contestants were freshman Kathryn Russo from Clinton, who took second place and a prize of $750 with "Sitting is Killing Us;" freshman Natalie Monastra from Mentor, third place and $500 with "Work Out Without Working Hard;" sophomore Christy Hlavaty from Medina, fourth place and $250 with "The Obesity Epidemic;" and Wadsworth High School postsecondary student Krista Mathis, fifth place and $250 with "Personal Money Management."
"These are five very talented students who are all great speakers," said Bonnie Keiper, who coordinates the General Education Speech Program and organized the event. "It was a memorable evening."

Shanghai GRAND SLAM | 30 April - 5 May 2013
Switzerland, April 15, 2013 – The team positions for the first Grand
Slam of the year – the Shanghai Grand Slam in China – are confirmed
following the passing of the deadline for federations to make any
changes to their respective teams.
Federations had until the end of Monday (Lausanne time) to confirm which of their teams would fill their respective national federation positions in the Shanghai Grand Slam Main Draw and Qualification tournaments, which will take place from April 30 to May 5.
Leading the way in the men's competition are world champions and Olympic silver medallists Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego in Position 1 followed by the new American combination Sean Rosenthal and Phil Dalhausser while the second USA spot in position three is filled by Nicholas Lucena and Matthew Fuerbringer in place of Jacob Gibb and Casey Patterson who fill that position for the Fuzhou Open.
The women's competition is the same as Fuzhou Open sees with last year's World Tour runners up Chen Xue and Xi Zhang of China in Position 1 followed by Brazil's new pairing Maria Antonelli and Agatha Bednarczuk and Sanne Keizer and Marleen Van Iersel of the Netherlands in Position 2 and 3 respectively.
The actually seeding for the tournament will be updated following the Technical Meeting on the eve of the tournament. The seeding will be based on the sum of the individual rankings taking into consideration the status as at -21 days.
Due to the limited number of reserve teams, the FIVB has decided to offer such teams (after country quota) the chance to take part in the Qualification tournament for the Shanghai Grand Slam.
The Shanghai Grand Slam is the
first of 10 Grand Slams which make up the FIVB Beach Volleyball World
Tour which also includes the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships
in Stare Jablonki, Poland from July 1 to 7.
The distribution of national federation vacancies in the Main Draw, Qualification and Reserve lists are based on federation ranking points which take into consideration the best six-out- of-the-last-eight results dating back 365 days on a player by player basis for the respective country.

President Barack Obama plans to survey damage from the Washington state mudslide later this month and will meet with victims, first responders and recovery workers, the White House said Tuesday.
The White House said it plans to release further details about the president's trip to Oso, Wash., in the coming days.
Obama spoke with Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., on Tuesday about the recovery effort.
"He called to say that he's going to come out to visit the site on April 22," she said.
They discussed ongoing assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency as the area copes with the slide that has killed at least 35 people, destroyed about three dozen homes, partially dammed a river and covered a state highway.
One more person was added to victims list Tuesday afternoon by the Snohomish County medical examiner's office, which is still trying to identify four of the dead.
Eleven people remain on the sheriff's list of missing from the March 22 slide that buried homes along the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, about 55 miles northeast of Seattle.
Searchers with dogs continue to probe the debris field as the Army Corps of Engineers builds a berm to reduce flooding.
Work started Monday on the Darrington or east side of the slide with about 300 feet of gravel. When it's completed next week, the 2,000-foot-long berm will act like a levee along the river, said Cameron Satterfield, a spokesman at the joint information center in Arlington. It will allow the corps to pump out a flooded area of about 34 acres so it can be searched for bodies.
Teams of rescue or cadaver dogs from all over the country have been helping search the huge pile of tumbled mud, broken trees and house debris.

Having lived in the Valley of the Sun for two years I say good riddance!!!
You wouldn't know my job is a web editor, would you?
Lol they were the only team to be swept in the first round
Not only that but Z sat out the series and Franzen missed the last game! Rest for us is not what the rest of the league wants right now.
at packard pub ... back to winnipeg where they belong
Phone: Hey Phoenix, its Winnipeg. They said they want their team back!
Also; YOU SUCK!
Wow, they are awful. Hilarious to see all the Wing fans COMPLETELY TAKEOVER the white elephant arena of theirs.
From the puke-aztec jerseys to the Reinsdorf shenanigans to Balsile to Goldwater...well done Bettman.
I've lived in AZ for 5 years now and attended multiple Coyotes games. If they leave it will be a tragedy because the Coyotes organization has one of the most entertaining hockey experiences i've had the pleasure of attending. The ability to go show up early and enjoy the area surrounding the arena, to the show they put on inside during the game is just so much fun.
I've been to a dozen Wings game's and it's a different experience then in Glendale. When you go to a Wings game, its more of a traditional, all star like atmosphere, but sadly not much going on around the Joe (Insert sad face). In Glendale, they put in so much effort to make hockey work. Sadly there's just not as many people who grow up with hockey as their favorite sport out here.
In my opinion, it's all positioning and that the Coyotes will remain in Phoenix. The problem is that it's taken a few years for Phoenix to really produce a solid product on the ice, and by the time that happened, all of this ownership stuff had come up. It's hard to draw new fans when there might not even be a team next year.
That said, I think they'll stay in Phoenix. The corporate support is there, and in my opinion, the fan base would be solid enough if they can replicate the success of teams like Nashville, Tampa, and Carolina. Like the negotitations in Pittsburgh a few years ago, the team/NHL are going to "seriously" consider moving to gain leverage.
I know everyone wants more Canadien teams, but Winnipeg and Quebec City are just NOT viable cities. They would immediately be the two smallest markets, and they could never gain any corporate support in the past. I see no reason to believe that has changed, and if the Canadien dollar doesn't remain strong there just isn't any viability for an NHL franchise in those cities. The only place in Canada that could potentially support a team is Hamilton, but they won't let a team move there. The owners want the start-up fee for a new franchise, which in Hamilton would probably be >200 million.
The Coyotes need to stay in Phoenix or the league needs to downsize.
I agree with pretty much everything you said, except the NHL doesn't want to move the team at all -- they aren't the ones trying to gain leverage. They desperately want to keep the team in Phoenix, but if a deal can't be made here, they might not have any other choice but to move it. And the only viable market that's ready to bring in a team immediately is Winnpeg.
Doesn't Kansas City have a new, empty arena? Living on Pittsburgh, I seem to remember that was the main moving threat. Supposedly, the new arena people had the suites all lined up, all they needed was a team. I don't know whether the city would be good or bad from a hockey standpoint, bit it can't be worse than at least a couple of the southern teams.
April 21st, 2011 at 10:01 PM ^
Isn't the Silverdome needing a new team? EH EH??
April 21st, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
I think we would welcome back anyone that would put on the old whalers jersey.
Putting on a show at sports events is fun and all, but when it comes to the Wings, folks show up to watch a goddamn hockey game. When arenas have to go outside of their sport to entertain their fans, I feel it just looks like they're trying too hard.
Not much going on around the Joe? Not in the immediate vicinity, but there are several places within People Mover range that are always alive. The Joe is just in a cramped corner up against the river.
In Glendale, they put in so much effort to make hockey work because they HAVE to. Sorry, but that's just the way the culture is in most parts of the south.
For the record, I was in AZ for two weeks a few years back and it was awesome. This is in no way a hate-on-Arizona comment.
I can understand people who don't want to participate in extra events, but I don't see how its a bad thing that businesses in the area have created an attractive area for not JUST hockey but also enjoying a good time before and after the event. If all you want is hockey, then that's all you partake in. But personally, I prefer some good food beforehand and a few beers afterwards. If all I have to do is cross the street from the arena to be filled with a plethora of opportunities to do this, then awesome.
Obviously some people have never been to Nemo's or the Anchor Bar before the game and just taken the shuttle over. And be sure to do so while downing an alcoholic beverage.
April 21st, 2011 at 11:02 PM ^
In other words, Phoenix doesn't have fans, so they have to resort to a bunch of gimmicks. Teams without fans do not survive long.
I'm from Buffalo so I'm a huge Sabres (and Eastern Conference) fan, but after watching a couple of the Wings games this series, I have no doubt that the Wings are the best team in the NHL.
You're next Atlanta...(to Hamilton)...then Tampa Bay...(to Quebec)...then Carolina...(to Hartford)...
Bettman's southern strategy = fail.
Because the small market Canadien strategy worked so well the first time...
There is a reason that teams left Winnipeg and Quebec City. They would immediately be the two smallest markets in the NHL, and they could NEVER get corporate support for the teams in the past. They failed before, and I have no reason to believe that a repeat performace would fare much better.
Also, there are several southern teams that have had plenty of success on and off the ice. Nashville with their new ownership group has fielded many competitive teams. Also, they're the 29th smallest market in the NHL but were 21st in average attendance. Carolina, one of the teams you want to move, is probably the most successful southern franchise. They have a strong brand, have won a Cup, and have a very passionate fan base. Tampa, though struggling somewhat in recent years, has had periods of sustained success and with Yzerman running things I think that will continue.
Not all southern markets are successful (i.e. Atlanta, Florida), but neither are all northern markets (NY islanders). There are certainly more challenges in southern markets, but there are several that are successful and a lot of it has to do with strong ownership groups, good front office staff, and responsible spending.
April 21st, 2011 at 11:01 PM ^
I never knew that Bill Daly posted as mstier on MGoBlog. Perhaps I could insert a bit of reality...(+/- 30 percent of all ticket revenue and far more television revenue is generated in Canada)...this revenue does nothing but subsidize weak markets in the United States.
FYI, Per Forbes 2010 operating income:
Carolina loses 7.3 million; Columbus loses 7.3 million; NYI loses 4.3 million; Nashville lose 5.5 million; Tampa loses 7. 9 million; Atlanta loses 8.0 million; Phoenix loses 20.1 million. As a reference, the Leafs made 82.5 million and the Wings 15. 3 million. Franchise valuations, as you might imagine, are quitre reflective of the list above.
2009 - An internal NHL report shows 31 percent of $1.1 billion in ticket revenue comes from Canada's six teams and 11 of the 24 U.S. teams aren't making money.
Present Day - Study: Canada can Support 12 NHL Teams
The study also found that hockey mad Canadians are also helping to subsidize the sport south of the border. Canadian teams accounts for only one-fifth of the league, but generate one-third of the revenue.
"A good chunk of those dollars end up in the U.S. through revenue sharing," it said. "The primary beneficiaries of this scheme are American hockey team owners and a smattering of American fans attending games below cost. The primary victims are Canadian hockey fans, particularly those in cities that could support a team but are deprived from having one or two by the NHL."
For what it's worth, regarding Tampa Bay's loss, that number reflects a year in which (1) the team was awful, (2) they drastically raised ticket prices, (3) ownership was a mess and (4) attendance was at its lowest point in years. I would bet that, the next time those numbers are run, they don't have a loss.
No one is saying that the Predators for instance will make $82 million a year and be a better franchise financially than Toronto. The problem is that there aren't 30 Torontos. Teams like Nashville and Tampa have had sustained periods of success and profits. Over the course of many years, these teams are profitable. Certainly not as profitable as Toronto or Detroit, but they're viable franchises.
Canadian teams make up such a larger part of their revenue share because there are only 6 teams in Canada, and 2 of them are the two biggest markets in the league. Edmonton, Calgary, and Ottawa are stable franchises but not they are not doing as well as many of the teams in the US (including the southern US). Toronto and Montreal are behemoths, and Vancouver is the best team in the league, so yeah the Canadien teams are pwning the market share. It's not really accurate to say that because of this there should be a bunch more teams in Canada.
April 21st, 2011 at 11:05 PM ^
Not sure if you're trying to be funny, ironic or whatever, but if you're not, Canadien is the French spelling. Canadian is the English spelling.
The Montreal franchise is always spelled the French way because its official name is in French (Le Club de Hockey Canadien).
This was strictly a reflex error while typing. No irony or humor intended, just poor spelling on my part. My apologies.
April 21st, 2011 at 10:09 PM ^
Bettman's only responsible for two southern teams: the Preds and Thrashers. Owners put teams in Phoenix and Carolina, not Bettman, and Tampa and Florida predate Bettman.
And you're nucking futs if you think places like Hartford can actually support a team. Fact: attendance in Carolina and Phoenix has been much better than attendance was in Hartford and Winnipeg.
April 21st, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
the Blue Jackets? Gary B. put them in our least-favorite city.
April 21st, 2011 at 11:05 PM ^
Jackets and Crew have pretty good fanbases in the city as far as numbers. I've been to one Crew game and it's a pretty nice arena.
April 21st, 2011 at 11:14 PM ^
Srsly. Your fact statement is laughable and ridiculous. Also, the numbers identify it to be far from factual.
PHX averaged 11989 last year and 69 percent capacity...in the last year in Winnipeg before the move the team averaged 11316 and 72 percent of capacity...IN THE YEAR BEFORE THE TEAM MOVED. The year prior to that Winnipeg averaged 83 percent capacity which is, interestingly enough, two points higher than Carolina last year.
K, thanks.
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:07 AM ^
You, sir, are fail.
The Winnipeg Jets averaged 13,144 attendance in five of their last six years - and just to be nice I didn't include their actual last season.
The Coyotes averaged 13,776 in the last five years. I think it's funny how you only went as far back as last year, because if you had bothered to go before that you'd have had to include numbers in the high 14,000s and that would've been a problem for your point, wouldn't it? In the previous five years, they averaged 14,333. For every thousand fans per game, that's about $15 million in revenue, so it ain't chump change.
Now for the Whalers. In their final five years in Hartford, they averaged 11,621. Pathetic. The Hurricanes, in their last five years, have drawn 16,530. Based on that you'd have to be insane to think the Hurricanes would be better off back in Hartford.
Here's the link to the numbers.
Let me ask you something: do you think Michigan should have a varsity lacrosse team?
April 22nd, 2011 at 12:30 AM ^
You conveniently ignore the capacity numbers on the Jets, Canes and Coyotes...of course you do...You might have a point with Hartford but are you really arguing that hockey is a better economic fit in PHX? or Carolina? or Tampa? etc.
Look up a little bit and read my response to Bill Daly; it's clear that the Canadian market via the Leats principally does nothing but subsidize Bettman's southern NHL fantasies. Canada could easily support 3 teams in greater Toronto alone...and that's just Toronto.
Nothing more humourous than people defending the Bettman/Daly vision. I'm sure you probably think Nick Lidstrom is the best defenseman of all time also.
Don't hate reality.
I'm always hesitant to lump Tampa Bay into that discussion. Ever since they finally got their act together (yes, it took a few years, but that's been over a decade ago now), they've generally put up pretty good attendance numbers (in one of the largest buildings in the league) and have done the best job of developing a local hockey culture of any of the "southern" franchises (seriously, youth hockey in the Tampa area is booming).
defenseman of all time
Best of all time....eh...that is not correct and i am huge wings homer. Best of the modern era, that is a valid assertion.
I think it is hilarious people are defending Bettman. Everything Bettman does regarding expansion goes against demographic studies. It is noble goal of expanding the sport of hockey to new markets. However, the franchises must also earn a profit since that is the very basic goal of business. Earning a profit is the fatal flaw of southern pro hockey.
April 22nd, 2011 at 10:02 AM ^
You don't get extra points or extra cash for capacity percentages. If your arena seats 80,000 and you average 40,000, you're doing a hell of a lot better than someone who sells out a 20,000 seat arena every time.
And your Canadian numbers don't tell the whole story. Of course not - they're presented by a Canadian paper. If Canada is an automatic money machine, why do the Senators also lose money? If being a "southern" team is what costs money, why do the teams in Pittsburgh, Washington, Minnesota (Minnesota!), Buffalo, St. Louis, and New York also lose money? Why are the Stars and Kings profitable? Your "Bettman's southern fantasies" are nothing but windmills to tilt at and it's counterproductive because it ignores the larger financial reality facing the league. As I said before, Bettman has placed exactly two teams in the South: Atlanta and Nashville. The Coyotes, Hurricanes, and Stars were moved there by their owners. The Lightning and Panthers existed before Bettman was commissioner. But you seem to be following the Canadian party line of Bettman the boogeyman - it's very convenient and ignores the fact that Canada didn't give proper support to two of its franchises and that's why they booked it for the States - and oh if only he weren't commissioner Canada would get its precious NHL back. Sorry, but it wasn't Gary Bettman that moved the Jets and Nordiques.
April 22nd, 2011 at 10:25 AM ^
On the Senators, I don't know if there's a more boring city than Ottawa. (maybe Baltimore)
April 22nd, 2011 at 10:56 AM ^
If you're looking at what teams receive NHL subsidy and revenue sharing they are overwhelmingly (current and historical data) in dollar figures American based teams based south of Pittsburgh. That is fact. Realistically, if the Leafs stopped existing the league would not be viable.
What puzzles me here is the ridiculous and ongoing defense of the Bettman southern strategy; I would be careful in stating "owners moved teams south" as this was the direction the league office had encouraged (and encouraged by the Board of Governors). A quick look at the amount of subsidy provided to American markets by Canadian teams clearly identifies the conceptual failure of that model.
We've lived this before in Canada...the Flames of Calgary once belonged to Atlanta. You might have noticed they are a high revenue team here in the GWN. The end game is that the southern strategy won't work; it's not a case of getting the NHL back but rather a case of longer term viability for 4 - 6 teams.
April 22nd, 2011 at 11:14 AM ^
How quickly it's forgotten that it wasn't that long ago that Canadian teams were the ones in need of a bailout. That the Canadian government was being asked to provide a subsidy to Canadian teams not named the Leafs and Habs. Remember that? That was the topic of discussion for several years. The league was in no financial shape to help subsidize the struggling small-market Canadian teams and the teams had to ask the government, which refused.
Now it's supposedly the other way around. Could Canada support 12 teams? Maybe for a while. What if the Canadian dollar goes back to where it was in 2000? Most of those teams would fly right back across the border.
It's not so much a defense of the "southern strategy" as trying to point out to you that there is no overarching southern strategy. The teams that moved weren't "encouraged" southward except as far as it took to get them out of a country whose dollar was too weak to support them. That's why I say you're tilting at windmills. If Bettman wanted teams to move south as a first option, he'd have pushed the Penguins to Kansas City where they had everything all set up and ready to go. He's trying to keep teams where they are, which is smart, rather than use moving a team as the first option when it should be the last.
You forget that the southern strategy was 1990's era expansion...and KC was nothing more than a bargaining chip for Lemieux. Hockey was tried there before and moves to Denver and moves to NJ. He's trying to keep teams where they are to satisfy a ridiculous tv deal and maintain market presence in those spots in the US that could give a rat's ass about hockey.
No, I know exactly how 1990's expansion went down and the vast majority of it was pre-Bettman. I keep telling you this. Bettman expansion is nothing but the four turn of the century teams, and two of them are in the north.
And please tell me you're not simultaneously arguing for a return to Winnipeg and pulling the failed-once-already card with KC.
And what's wrong with "satisfying a ridiculous TV deal"? I'm not sure I follow, because it sounds like you're complaining about the TV money. TV money is a good thing for the league. The new deal is $200 million a year, which kind of outweighs (by a LOT) whatever money the Maple Leafs put into the system for revenue sharing. If it takes market presence in Phoenix to make that happen, then I'm all for it.

Chinese New Year Celebration
The Pittsburgh Chapter of the Organization of Chinese Americans welcomed the year of the Ox as they celebrated the 4707 Chinese New Year at the Syria Shriners Center. In the Chinese Zodiac, the ox symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work and there was no shortage of prosperity at the traditional Chinese celebration. Attendees gathered for hors d'oeuvres, followed by traditional Chinese entertainment, including the Lion Dance. "The Lion Dance opens with a pop that brings good luck and good fortune for the year," says Sharon Dailey, secretary of the Organization of Chinese Americans. Offering the opportunity to profit from that good fortune, a raffle and a silent auction were also held. After the entertainment, attendees enjoyed a Mandarin style banquet dinner by the Pittsburgh Chinese Restaurant Association. Photography by Megan WylieRead More

A 7-month-old baby was brought Wednesday to Northwest Medical Center, where doctors found the boy to have suspicious injuries.
Under questioning, the baby's father, Travis Fox, 24, of Springdale, told investigators "that he violently shook the child for an extended amount of time because the child was 'fussing,'''police said in a news release.
"He demonstrated the shake and it was violent," the release said.
Authorities said Fox acknowledged that he drank five beers before shaking the baby.
While the baby's death was being investigated, Springdale officers learned that Fox was under investigation for the Sept. 4, 2011, death of another of his children, a 6-month-old boy.
A Washington County sheriff's detective interviewed Fox about the baby's death in 2011.
"Mr. Fox admitted that he shook his 6-month-old son for 30-45 seconds because he was 'fussing,'" according to a prosecutor's report. "Mr. Fox said he was angered and tired because he was up for two days without sleep."
The report says Fox told the investigator that he admitted drinking tequila the day of the first death and that he'd tossed the child on a chair.
"Mr. Fox admitted he needs help for his anger," the report said.
It was unclear Thursday whether Fox had an attorney. He was being held without bond at the Washington County Jail.

Red Sox release Overbay
Fort Myers, FL – The Boston Red Sox released veteran first baseman Lyle Overbay on Tuesday.
The 36-year-old signed a minor league contract with Boston prior to the start of spring training, but managed only nine hits in 41 at-bats over 19 games.
In 2012, Overbay split time between Arizona and Atlanta, combining for a .259 average with two home runs and 10 RBI over 65 games.
Overbay, whose most productive seasons came with the Toronto Blue Jays between 2006-10, holds a lifetime .270 batting average and has amassed 133 home runs with 581 RBI over the course of his 12-year career.

The man suspected of killing his girlfriend in 2010 and dumping her body in a north Terrebonne swamp is now behind bars, police said.
The man suspected of killing his girlfriend in 2010 and dumping her body in a north Terrebonne swamp is now behind bars, police said.
Corey Claudell Galmore, 28, turned himself in about 9:15 a.m. Sunday, Terrebonne Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said.
He was wanted on a second-degree murder arrest warrant, police said last week, in connection with the February 2010 death of Merrell Stewart, a 26-year-old nursing student who was also Galmore's live-in girlfriend and the mother of their young sons.
Galmore was in the Terrebonne Parish Jail this morning in lieu of a $400,000 bond, police said.
He's scheduled to appear in court Oct. 28 to enter a plea on the charge.
Merrell Stewart's body was found Feb. 23, 2010, in the muddy Chacahoula swamp below the elevated stretch of U.S. 90 overpass. She had been missing for five days.
Stewart's cause of death was asphyxiation.
Authorities were initially unable to pin Galmore, though detectives consistently alleged his involvement in the crime, Larpenter said.
Stewart was last seen with Galmore, about 7:30 p.m. Feb. 18, 2010, on Isabel Street in the Mechanicville neighborhood, authorities said. She was studying to be a nurse at the Young Memorial Louisiana Technical College campus at the time of her death.
Investigators questioned Galmore about Stewart's whereabouts, but he denied having anything to do with the disappearance, Maj. Malcolm Wolfe has said.
The couple shared a duplex at 187 L&M Trailer Court in Gray. Deputies searched Stewart's apartment, car and wooded areas throughout Gray with cadaver dogs but did not turn up evidence that could explain her disappearance, Wolfe said.
Stewart and Galmore have two sons together, Makai Stewart and C.J. Galmore. Stewart's mother, Tammy Stewart, is raising the boys.

How many people interested in ethics here put their ethics where their plate is, Whilst The religious masses have an excuse for eating the flesh of our fellow mammals and other species, What is your excuse!!!! ( unless of course you are already Vegan)...
Views: 1399
I'd rather be dead than reach a world population of 10 billion... no matter the diet. Feeding more people will simply encourage for breeding.
I would rather be trying to selectively reduce the survival rates of idiots and increase survival rates for intelligent people. As the ratio is so distorted this plan could dramatically reduce populations. This is why I preach veganism to those I respect, That way they live longer and the meat eaters (idiots) die earlier.......
LOL, time will tell :)
Thank you for calling me an idiot. Especially since it is an emotional epithet and has nothing to do with reality.
I did not call you an idiot, I was describing a selection mechanism against stupidity.Read it again
But in general I would rate a meat eater as an ignorant selfish fool yes.
ignorant - because they should be more ethically aware
Foolish - because it is killing them
selfish - because they don't care about other humans or the environment.
but that doesn't mean we give up and say "fuck you" to the world.
I think you are Naive....if you ever find yourself doing as most others do...RETHINK.....95% of people are worthless fodder. I won't wish any cruelty or harm on them but I would not consult them on an intellectual basis. 5% are worth talking to and 1% are worth knowing. Why do you acknowledge sexual and religious indoctrination and yet fail to recognise other forms where they reside.
HI Vegan
if you look at Table 4. It shows how China (East Asia) has increased its live food intake. Compare that with India (South Asia), which has a lot of vegetarians in it. Also look at North Africa, it's increased a little. But if the Arabs ever get their act together and stop corruption and nepotism and start sharing the money around, they will also start to eat more and more meat like the Chinese.
So, what can we do?
We can do as we know we should, rather than as others do. Look at bird flu, small pox, chicken pox, the spanish flu. Animal production had a lot to do with all of these, Even better look at mad cow's disease. Abstain from the main causes of early death and let others die by the sword....Also always get vaccinated as soon as possible. What we really need is a selection mechanism that selects against selfishness, and I can not think of a better one than Vegan life extension and meat induced death.
Hi TNT
Longevity is a high maintenance joke.
I used to be a tour guide for Japanese tourists. One of my customers was about 85 years old. And I asked him how it is that Japanese live so long. He replied "we don't live a long time at all", I was puzzled by his answer and asked him "what do you mean? you're 85" he said "there's a difference between 'living' and 'not dying' ".
I agree there. I'd love to see an entirely new definition for longevity stats: Average lifespan of humans without longterm medications... And assisted living.
there's a difference between 'living' and 'not dying'
I love that

The final verdict on whether the Chinese economy is out of trouble may come on Friday as markets look to a slew of data to confirm the world's second largest economy is on track for a rebound in the fourth quarter.
The data blitz includes October factory output, retail sales and fixed asset investment numbers as well as producer and consumer price figures. October trade data are scheduled for Saturday.
Over the past month some positive economic reports have raised hopes that a slowdown in the Chinese economy is finally coming to an end. That makes the October data particularly significant as markets hunt for confirmation that China's economy is firmly in recovery mode. The latest numbers will also come against a backdrop of a once-in-a-decade political transition that is taking place.
(Read More: Special Report on Changing China)
"The October numbers will be the first of the fourth quarter data, so if positive they will confirm views of a rebound," Alistair Chan, an economist at Moody's Analytics in Sydney said. "It is probably fair to say we will see a recovery in the fourth quarter."
According to Dariusz Kowalczyk, Credit Agricole's senior economist, "the question of China's economy facing a hard landing should not be an issue any more. The October data will point to a pick-up in growth and we should see a bigger acceleration in the November and December numbers."
Economists said the industrial output numbers are probably the most important ones to watch out for. Chan forecasts a 9.8 percent increase in October industrial production from a year earlier. Factory output grew 9.2 percent in September, up from a rise of 8.9 percent in August.
"The investment data will also be key in seeing if the infrastructure stimulus announced recently is starting to show up," said Kowalczyk.
In September, China approved $157 billion worth of investment projects, including 30 infrastructure projects, aimed at shoring up the economy.
Barclays' forecast October fixed asset investment climbed 20.6 percent from a year earlier compared with a 20.5 percent increase a month earlier. And its analysts warn that a sharp rebound in China's economy appeared unlikely at this stage.
Note of Caution
"An uneven recovery across industries and still-soft export orders suggest a sharp near-term rebound remains unlikely," analysts at Barclays said in a note.
They said while October's official and private sector surveys on China's manufacturing sector suggest the economy is finally perking up, the breakdown of the Purchasing Manager's Indices (PMI) indicate growth in exports remains tepid.
China's September exports rose a higher than expected 9.9 percent from a year earlier and Barclays expects data on Saturday to show October exports rose around 10 percent.
"However, the still below 50 reading for the PMI new export numbers suggest more downside than upside ahead," the Barclays analysts said, referring to the 50-mark in the PMI surveys that divide expansion from contraction.
(Read More: Why Market Euphoria Over China PMI Data May Be Overdone)
Monetary Policy on Hold
Economists said positive October economic numbers from China would dampen market expectations of further monetary easing from China's central bank, which lowered interest rates in June and July to help lift growth. Beijing has also eased monetary policy by cutting reserve requirement ratios for banks three times since last November.
"It looks like the cycle for interest rate cuts is over, although China may lower reserve requirement ratios once more. It looks like they won't feel the need to cut interest rates, especially with an eye on inflation," said Chan at Moody's Analytics, adding that prices are likely to head higher in 2013.
Credit Agricole's Kowalczyk agreed, saying he expected one further cut in reserve requirement ratios at the most.
"We will see if markets will be pleased with the October data or disappointed that good data will reduce the need for monetary stimulus," he said.

DESCRIPTIONA creepy and scary track featuring orchestra, heavy percussion, and very weird repetitive bells that hopefully get inside your head because they are so strange. This track was designed for use in trailers, so will work best in that environment. However, any project which has a theme of horror – whether it's a promo, video-game, or something else, might benefit from this music.
Track available in both WAV and MP3 format. Please contact me if you need additional music editing.
Thanks for listening. I hope you will find a good use for this track in your projects.

Axl Rose Injures Leg After Apparently Falling While Partying in Russia
We all know bands and rockstars know how to do some serious partying but sometimes they pay the price for their celebratory antics. Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose apparently learned that this weekend after suffering a significant leg injury.
According to the Russian website Komsomolskaya Pravda, Rose hurt his leg when he fell off of a table while dancing at Premier Lounge in Moscow. Rose and his band were celebrating the start of their 2012 European tour with two shows in Russia's capital.
The Guns N' Roses singer tweeted a picture of the severe bruise on his entire leg with a caption saying "Can you say HemaToma?!" Check out the picture to the left.
Rose is said to make a full recovery and Guns N' Roses are set to play a number of shows in Europe; for the full list of countries and dates, go here.

SHANGHAI, June 11 (UPI)–Angelina Jolie ruffled feathers in China after she referred to director Ang Lee as Taiwanese instead of Chinese, sparking the flames between the two countries.
Jolie was taking reporters' questions about her new movie Maleficent at a press conference in Shanghai when one journalist asked her to name her favorite Chinese director.
"I am not sure if you consider Ang Lee Chinese, he's Taiwanese but he does many Chinese-language films with many Chinese artists and actors, and I think his works and the actors in his films are the ones I am most familiar with and very fond of," she reportedly answered.
Her answer did not please her Chinese fans. Jolie was slammed on the Chinese social media site Weibo for "disrespecting China's sovereignty."
"By implying that Taiwan and China are two separate countries, in a moment of excitement, a brilliant woman [Jolie] became a stupid laughing stock," said one Weibo user, reports the Independent. Another called the actress a "deranged Taiwan independence supporter."
Maleficent has not opened yet in China, but the movie has seen a significant bump in popularity in Taiwan since her comments. Jolie is not the only celebrity to offend nationalists in China. Her fiance, Brad Pitt, was banned from the country after filming the movie Seven Years in Tibet. The Chinese government gave him a pass and admitted him to the country for the press tour.

There are chairs and fences, trailers, trucks and parade stands.
It takes luck, planning and a lot of patience to secure a good spot along a popular parade route.
There are chairs and fences, trailers, trucks and parade stands.
It takes luck, planning and a lot of patience to secure a good spot along a popular parade route. But locals who have staked a claim to their particular patch of Mardi Gras pavement said it's worth it for a celebration that only comes once a year.
"We have a spot near Terrebonne High. We go back every year because it's with family," said Jessica Robert Quatrevingt, 32, of Houma. "We all get so busy throughout the year, this is our time to party and have fun with family and friends."
Jacie Plaisance of Golden Meadow attended Saturday's Krewe of Atlantis parade in Lafourche, which has become a tradition.
"Every year we watch at this spot. It's so fun being here with the kids. They have a blast," Plaisance said. "I love our culture."
John and Alice Watson of Houma have held claim to their spot in the Kmart parking lot along the west-Houma route for 12 years. They used to park as early as three weeks ahead of the parades to secure their spot. John Watson and a friend park their travel trailers end to end to secure a wide viewing area for the dozens of family and friends who join them along the route each year.
Last Fat Tuesday, they had 85 people catching the parade with them on their strip of parking lot.
John, like many who ruled the route for years, prides himself on being a good host not just to his guests but to those marching in the parade.
The Houma Kmart is a block away from Hollywood Road where west-Houma parades typically slow to a stop as the procession crosses from Park Avenue to Main Street.
The Watsons offer food and a bathroom break to Terrebonne sheriff's deputies and members of the Vandebilt Catholic High School marching band during what can be hours-long parades.
"It becomes a rally point," Watson said.
The Liner family of Houma also turned their parade hangout into an opportunity to improve Mardi Gras for others.
The family has been staking out their own turf in the Kmart parking lot since the parades moved to that side of town, said family member Debbie Bourgeois.
In fact, they have been there so long no one even challenges them for their spot. This year they made an impromptu fence of chairs tied together to stake out a grassy area, parked their truck and set up a grill.
Bourgeois said the family gets to the route early, lets the kids play on the grass, cooks food and plays a little poker to pass the time. Between 50 and 70 family members and friends usually join them.
They too like to serve dinner to the deputies who work the parade. They also like to pull visitors into their celebrations.
"We've had people from out of state come to stand with us," Bourgeois said. "We always feed them and show them a good time."
Bourgeois said Mardi Gras has always been a part of their lives, and they enjoy getting everyone together each year to celebrate.
"We live for Mardi Gras," she said.
Businesses along the route are always gracious about letting paradegoers make use of their property, Watson added.
"Houma Mardi Gras is the best kept secret in Louisiana," Watson said. "We spend a lot of money feeding other people during the parades, but we're glad. It's about making it fun for everyone."

Hegemony or Survival, by Noam Chomsky, published November 2003
(Click for Amazon book review)
Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance, was the book held up by Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela, at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2006. Pres. Chavez used the book to exemplify the dangers of US hegemony, which means the risks of the US imposing its will by force over the rest of world. Chomsky's book provides a detailed history of US hegemony, with lessons for current US actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Chomsky considers the US to be the world's leading "rogue state" and recommends that the US abide by UN and World Court decisions.
Borrowing a line from US linguist and foreign policy critic Noam Chomsky, Venezuela's President Chavez told the 61st UN General Assembly that the world currently faces the choice between continued US hegemony and human survival. Chavez also called for the re-founding of the United Nations, so as to avert this danger.-- VenezuelAnalysis.com, September 20, 2006
Excerpts from Pres. Chavez' speech to the UN:
I would like to invite all of those, who have not had a chance, to read this book that we have read: Noam Chomsky, one of the most prestigious intellectuals of America and the world. One of Chomsky's most recent works: Hegemony or Survival?
America's Quest for Global Dominance. An excellent piece to help us understand what happened in the world during the 20th century, what is going on now and the greatest threat looming over our planet: the hegemonic pretension of US Imperialism that puts at risk the very survival of the human species. We continue to warn about this danger and call on the people of the US and the world to halt this threat that is like the sword of Damocles.
I think our brothers and sisters of the United States should be the first citizens to read this book because the threat is in their own house. The Devil is in their home. The Devil, the Devil himself is in their home.
The Devil came here yesterday (laughter and applause). Yesterday the Devil was here, in this very place. This table from where I speak still smells like sulfur. Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, in this same hall the President of the United States, who I call "The Devil," came here talking as if he owned the world. It would take a psychiatrist to analyze the US president's speech from yesterday.
As the spokesperson for Imperialism he came to give us his recipes for maintaining the current scheme of domination, exploitation and pillage of the world's people. It would make a good Alfred Hitchcock movie. I could even suggest a title: "The Devil's Recipe." That is to say, US Imperialism, and here Chomsky says it with profound and crystalline clarity, is making desperate efforts to consolidate its hegemonic system of domination. We cannot allow this to occur, we cannot permit them to install a world dictatorship, to consolidate a world dictatorship.
The US president said the following yesterday in this same hall, I quote: "everywhere you turn, you hear extremists who tell you that you can escape your misery and regain your dignity through violence and terror and martyrdom." Wherever he looks he sees extremists. I am sure he sees you, brother, with your skin color, and thinks you are an extremist. With his color, the dignified President of Bolivia Evo Morales, who was here yesterday, is an extremist. The imperialists see extremists all around. No, its not that we are extremists. What is happening is that the world is waking up and people everywhere are rising up. I have the impression Mr. Imperialist dictator that you will live the rest of your days as if in a nightmare, because no matter where you look we will be rising up against US imperialism.
Yes, they call us extremists, we who demand complete freedom in the world, equality among peoples and respect for national sovereignty.
The US president came to speak to the people of Afghanistan, to the people of Lebanon, to the people of Iran. One has to wonder, when listening to the US president speak to those people: what would those people say to him? If those people could talk to him, what would they say? I think I have an idea because I know the souls of the majority of those people, the people of the South, the downtrodden peoples would say: Yankee imperialist go home! That would be the shout that would echo around the world, if these people of the world could speak with only one voice to the US Empire.

Radiohead Guitarist Jonny Greenwood Reveals Track Listing for 'The Master'
Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood is set to continue his idiosyncratic solo career with the soundtrack to Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming film 'The Master' — and now we know a bit about what fans can expect to hear on the album, due Sept. 11.
The 15-track disc will include 11 new Greenwood compositions, and NME reports that six of them were recorded with the London Contemporary Orchestra. The complete track listing — included below — is rounded out by songs from Ella Fitzgerald, Jo Stafford, Helen Forrest and Madison Beaty.
'The Master' takes place during the 1950s, providing a perfect setting for the non-Greenwood recordings — and posing an intriguing question for Radiohead fans who have grown accustomed to Greenwood's restless, forward-looking tinkering with songform and the role of the guitar in modern music. How will his new compositions fit alongside era-appropriate classic tracks in a movie about a bygone era? We're curious.
'The Master' Soundtrack Track Listing:
'Time Hole'
'Back Beyond'
'Get Thee Behind Me Satan' (Ella Fitzgerald)
'Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree (With Anyone Else but Me)' (Madisen Beaty)
'Atomic Healer'
'Able-Bodied Seamen'
'The Split Saber'
'Baton Sparks'
'No Other Love' (Jo Stafford)
'His Master's Voice'
'Application 45 Version 1′
'Changing Partners' (Helen Forrest)
'Sweetness of Freddie'

LaMont "MoMo" Jones is never going to be confused with Gary Payton, but his defense was just as important to Iona's come-from-behind, 78-70 victory over rival Manhattan in New Rochelle last night as his game-high 30 points were.
The standout senior guard from Harlem lit up the Hynes Center in the second half, pouring in 22 points and sinking four 3-pointers, but the three offensive fouls he drew — two on Manhattan point guard RaShawn Stores — truly turned the game in Iona's favor.
"I thought MoMo took leadership of the team in the second half and it started with his defense," Iona coach Tim Cluess said. "Our defensive effort was better in the second half and that's why we played well."
Without the foul-plagued Stores, already filling in for injured Manhattan point guard Mike Alvarado (right ankle), the Jaspers lacked the facilitator they sorely needed against Iona's pressure. It also took one of their top scorers off the floor, and the Jaspers were already without leading scorer George Beamon (right ankle) and Alvarado, who wore matching walking boots on their right feet.
After a sluggish first half in which Iona was unable to get out in transition and play the frenetic, free-flowing style it thrives on, the Gaels (9-6, 3-1 MAAC) exploded after halftime. They scored 48 points, made eight 3-pointers and shot over 62 percent from the field. It began on the defensive end, with Jones asking Cluess at halftime to switch to man-to-man and put him on Stores.
"Defense is always more important," Jones said. "[In the] second half, mainly our defense dictated our offense."
Manhattan (4-10, 2-2) couldn't have scripted a better start. Jones didn't get into the scoring column until nearly 12 minutes has elapsed. The Jaspers turned the contest into a grind and led 36-30 by halftime. But once Iona hit its stride, Manhattan didn't have an answer for the high-powered Gaels, particularly with Stores stuck on the bench much of the second half and freshman C.J. Jones forced into action.
"It's brutal, it's not fun," Manhattan coach Steve Masiello said. "We're playing with puppies and they have pit bulls."
Emmy Andujar and Rhamel Brown did their best for the Jaspers, scoring 17 and 16 points, respectively. Brown added nine rebounds, seven blocks and four assists.
LaMont Jones scored eight points in the first 1:21 after halftime to give Iona its first lead since the early going, and scored five straight points late to push the Gaels' lead to 68-60 with 5:13 left.
"MoMo got on such a roll there you can't even let him get the basketball," Masiello said.
While Iona isn't necessarily young, it is a new, inexperienced team as far as Division I basketball goes. So while its three league wins, by an averaged of just over seven points per victory, have been ugly, they have been productive.
"We're really scratching the surface of what we can be," Cluess said.

Local nursery brings home Christmas tree prize
HAMLET — They must have something in the soil to the west.
Hensler Nursery's of Hamlet took two of their Christmas trees to the Indiana State Fair this month and came home batting 1.000. An eight foot White Pine entered in the contest took home a Grand Champion prize and a seven foot Frazer Fir was named reserve champion. Each brought home blue ribbons.
"You're only allowed to enter two trees," said John Hensler of Hensler Nursery. "We're really pleased we were able to take part in conjunction with the Indiana Christmas Tree Growers Association. We're especially happy to bring home two prize trees."
The trees must be in their natural state for the contest with no cosmetic or artificial enhancements. Trees must be between six and eight feet tall.
"I think the fact that the pine was the full eight feet tall may have been a big reason it won Grand Champion," said Hensler. "Sometimes size is impressive."
The Christmas tree contest just starts the busy season for Hensler's, getting ready to host their annual fall festival and also for the Blueberry Festival in Plymouth, before moving into full Christmas mode.
"We will have a float in the Blueberry Festival parade like we have for quite a few years now," said Henlser. "We'll also be decorating the Amphitheatre as we have for the last few years, one half will be fall and the other half will be Christmas. We love coming to Plymouth for the Festival because we get a chance to meet so many people."
Hensler's is preparing for their Fall Festival that will run from Sept. 25 through the month of October at the Nursery just off of U.S. 30 in Hamlet across from Oregon-Davis Schools. One of the highlights of that festival is the giant pumpkin weigh in. Pumpkin growers from around the Midwest bring their prize wares to Hensler's.
"We have an 1,100 pound pumpkin on display at the nursery right now we're hoping that we can possibly bring it out to the Blueberry Festival and put it on display as part of the decorations at the Amphitheatre," said Hensler. "We still have to work out some details as to how to get it there, like finding a fork lift to pick it up, but if we can work it out we're going to try."

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.4GHz

I'm wondering what settings I should use for my set-up. Currently I'm trying to emulate everything I can. I know I can easily do PSX, just need to know the right plug-ins. Also, I would like to emulate Saturn and Dreamcast if that is at all possible. How is Playstation 2 emulation coming along?
Also, how far has CPS3 and NAOMI emulation come? I'd love to play MvC2 and Street Fighter III on my PC!
