Ars reviews the PlayStation 3
personal computer game console, and they say: "The PS3 doesn't have any grand ideas; Sony wanted something high-tech, so they started from scratch with the processor and GPU, but what does it get them? Very little so far. The controller is a mash-up of ideas from their old systems, the 360's triggers, and the Wii's motion-sensing capabilities, but once it has that tech it doesn't really know what to do with it. The Blu-ray adds cost, but adds very little to the gaming experience for the user. It's great as a media player, but for those of us who love games first and foremost, we have to look at it skeptically. The PS3 is a system with no core message, and that is what keeps it from being elegant. Will it do great things in the future? I hope so, the possibility and potential are certainly there. For now, it's power looking for a mission statement."

Tucson Park Owner Invests $1M in Improvements
January 24, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Tucson Park Owner Invests $1M in Improvements
Tucson, Ariz., RV park owner George O'Leary is putting the finishing touches on $1 million worth of improvements at his two Rincon Country RV Resorts, according to a press release.
"You would not believe the number of people who have complimented us," said O'Leary, who recently resurfaced the roads and completed other cosmetic improvements to his two Rincon Country parks.
While the improvements have yet to translate into increased business for his two parks, O'Leary says it is imperative for RV park and resort operators in Tucson and across the Sunbelt to continually make improvements to their facilities if they want to continue to attract today's snowbirds.
"I remember when we opened our first Rincon Country park in 1970," O'Leary said. "Our first renters were World War One retirees and Depression Era campers – a very frugal and easy to please group of people."
Today's snowbirds, however, are increasingly looking for high-quality amenities , which means park operators have to continually upgrade facilities if they want to retain or expand their marketshare.
"We are continuously improving the appearance and modernization of our resorts," O'Leary said. "Quite often when folks drive into our parks, they say to us, 'This looks like a new park.' They are surprised to learn that Rincon County East opened for business in 1979 and Rincon West in 1984."
In addition to making cosmetic improvements, O'Leary has also hired a new activities director for each resort and expanded his parks' offering of activities, including classes and professional live entertainment, including comedy shows, celebrity impersonators and musical entertainment. Classes include arts and crafts, woodcarving, pottery and ceramics as well as lapidary and silversmithing. The resorts also offer periodic seminars on health related topics as well as potlucks, wine tastings, dances and other social events.
For more information about Rincon Country RV Resorts, please visit the resorts' websites at www.rinconcountry.com. Both resorts are affiliated with the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC), the Denver-based trade association that representatives the outdoor hospitality industry that markets campgrounds, RV parks and resorts through its website at www.GoCampingAmerica.com.

A BlankTV Feature Presentation:
Fathoms - "November, December"
What we once had has fallen, who are you to me?
Who you are now stands for nothing, who are you to me?
I look into your eyes, and I see your forked tongue
you never regretted any fucking mistake,
go eat a dick bitch.
You kept putting words in my mouth, I kept spitting them out.
Cracked ribs and broken thoughts, all thats left of who i was.
I saw your true colours, and i was blinded,
now tell me, can you see the light?
I've had too much time to myself, letting go of my own intentions.
This city holds the memories, and i never want to walk these streets again.

Anderson's brilliant debut lifts D-backs to series win
CHICAGO -- Chase Anderson was making his big league debut, but the D-backs right-hander looked like a seasoned pro Sunday afternoon.

CHICAGO -- Chase Anderson was making his big league debut, but the D-backs right-hander looked like a seasoned pro Sunday afternoon.
Anderson held the White Sox to just one run over 5 1/3 innings as the D-backs won, 5-1, at U.S. Cellular Field.View Full Game Coverage
"He was pretty calm and locked in and he seemed pretty focused on what he was doing," veteran catcher Miguel Montero said. "I liked the guy, his mentality out there. He wasn't really afraid of anybody."
The victory gave the D-backs their third consecutive series win as they finished with a 6-3 record on their nine-game road trip.
After an 8-22 start to the season, the D-backs are now 15-25 with a six-game homestand on the horizon.
"It's the kind of team we are," shortstop Cliff Pennington said of the improved play. "It's what we expect to do. We're going to have to have stretches like this."
The Arizona offense did its best to help Anderson get settled, scoring a run before he even took the mound.
"Nothing better than the starting pitcher going out there with the lead already," Anderson said. "Even if it's one run or two runs, you can relax a little bit. I've always had a pretty good way of controlling my emotions my whole life. It's just something I was born with, I guess. I can't really describe that. After I threw the first pitch, I was like, 'OK, this is the same game.' I just tried to attack the hitters, so it was fun."
Gerardo Parra led off the game with a fly ball to center that Alejandro De Aza played into a triple by tripping while coming in on it.
Martin Prado followed with a single to right and the D-backs led Hector Noesi and the Sox, 1-0. The D-backs added to their lead in the fifth when Parra smacked a two-run homer to right, his fourth of the year, to put Arizona up, 3-0.
"[Anderson] threw well, but it was pretty uninspired by us all the way through," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "It started from the first play of the game and continued on and it stunk, pretty much the whole thing. Hector pitched a heck of a game to at least give us a chance, everything else stunk."
Anderson displayed an outstanding changeup, did a nice job mixing in his curve and got ahead in the count often as he kept the White Sox off-balance. Despite not having pitched in 10 days, Anderson was sharp from the very first pitch.
"Fastball command early, being able to flip my curveball for strikes when some guys were sitting on the fastball and threw my changeup for a strike and a strikeout," Anderson said. "So command of all three of my pitches was great today."
Through the first five innings, the lone blemish on Anderson's line was a second-inning single by Jose Abreu.
The White Sox finally got to Anderson in the sixth when Moises Sierra hit a one-out homer to left.
After Anderson walked the next batter, Tyler Flowers, on four pitches, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson elected to go to his bullpen.
"I was a little tired at the end there," Anderson said. "My arm felt good, my body was just getting a little tired. Just building up to these days you're a little nervous and exhausted, so I was just a little tired. I was trying to go right after him, but command was a little off."
The two hits given up by Anderson were the fewest allowed by an Arizona starting pitcher making his big league debut since Micah Owings allowed one in five innings on April 6, 2007 against the Nationals.
Before taking the mound each inning, Anderson did a pull-up on the dugout.
"I saw Tim Lincecum do that one time to keep his shoulder loose in between innings," Anderson said of the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner. "And I started doing it and I started having success so I just kept doing it. Right before I go back out every inning, just one pull-up."
Montero hit his fifth homer of the year in the ninth, a two-run shot, to give the D-backs some breathing room.
"We knew we were a better team than what we showed," Montero said. "It was a really tough start of the season, but it's over. You can't really change that. You've just got to go and I guess take baby steps. Go one day at a time and play your butt off every day and see what happens."

Early in Wade Davis' first NFL training camp, in 2000, a teammate with the Tennessee Titans approached the rookie defensive back with some helpful advice.
If you want to make the team, he whispered, stay away from people who are "different" — a code word Davis instantly knew referred to players suspected of being gay.
So that night Davis, who realized he was "different" during his sophomore year in high school, followed a group of teammates to a nearby strip club where he spent $1,500 to prove he was one of the guys. Yet despite the investment that night, the fear his secret would be discovered followed Davis from the Titans to similar, brief preseason stints with the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Redskins — even to two teams in NFL Europe.
"I would police my behavior," says Davis, who grew up in Shreveport, La., attending services at a Southern Baptist church five times a week. "I would re-create a story that probably never even happened just to make guys think that I was as hyper-masculine as they were. I had kind of honed in on my skill of telling these fantastic lies."

USA Today
Recently, our female colleagues on both sides of the aisle came together to discuss underaged sex trafficking. Not in Southeast Asia or the Middle East, where our attention is usually directed. But right here in the United States, where on any given day, some 250,000 American children, mostly young girls, are at risk of being sold into our nation's burgeoning sex trafficking industry.
Why is America's girl-focused sex traffic industry flourishing in its dark and dangerous marketplace? The simple answer is demand. As with any business, legal or illegal, success requires demand for the product being sold. In this case, men constitute the demand. Men are part of the problem. And men are part of the solution.
That is why we are joining our female colleagues to declare loudly that "our daughters are not for sale."
Understand that the daughters that we're talking about aren't street-wise prostitutes, but on average, 12- to 14-year-old girls. Many are runaways, abducted or lured by traffickers, then raped and beaten into submission. Traffickers have turned their attention from drugs to young girls because, as we are told, criminal enterprises have discovered it is less risky and more profitable to sell young girls than it is to market heroin or crack cocaine. This is happening in America today.
Regretfully, the "johns" who pay for these young girls are rarely arrested or prosecuted. More often it is their young rape victims who are re-victimized by a legal system all too quick to label them as prostitutes and, with that, give them lifelong criminal records. Our social welfare system too often fails to provide the necessary services to help these victims.
The agenda that our female colleagues put forth marks a huge step forward by Congress in addressing this national crisis. We, as men, join them in this effort and support these principles and needed steps:
- Law enforcement and prosecutors must treat trafficked girls as victims, not criminals.
- Exploited and trafficked girls must receive the same legal support and protections as other rape victims and full protection under laws governing child abuse.
- Social services must provide victims with healing, as well as community education programs, to help everyone better understand the nature of a victimhood that most often includes broken homes, broken relationships and a welfare system that allows kids to fall through the cracks.
But the most significant point still focuses on demand.
To be sure, the last decade has seen significant federal and state efforts to go after traffickers – most of whom are men. But virtually none of the various task forces is charged with the dual responsibility of targeting buyers – most of whom are also men.
That must change. And our laws must be clear. Anyone who buys or sells a child will be caught and punished accordingly, under the full weight of local, state, and federal enforcement agencies. Men, as well as women, need to get behind making both our system of laws and penalties airtight in that respect.
On the demand side, there is a cultural component as well as a parent/guardian component at work. Every parent knows that protecting our kids while giving them the independence they need to learn and grow is a delicate balancing act.
In the meantime, as congressmen from different sides of the aisle, who are also fathers, we are pressing our colleagues, both male and female, to help assure that Congress, the Justice Department, and the White House address the issue of demand, along with the need for tougher laws and policies, in a shared effort to end this form of modern-day slavery.
That is our Father's Day gift to America's most vulnerable daughters.

Civil Disturbance
Civil disturbances include riots, property damage, threatening individuals, or assemblies that have become significantly disruptive.
Demonstrations are visible actions designed to advocate a position on a particular issue. Most are peaceful and only occasionally cause an inconvenience; they become problematic when they obstruct university business. The Department of Campus Safety & Security and the Office of the Dean of Students attempt to monitor demonstrations that may become problematic. The Department of Campus Safety & Security observes all demonstrations that have a potential for violence, property damage, or disruption. Officers watch demonstrations and provide detailed descriptions of events as necessary.
In Case of Civil Disturbance or Demonstration
- Avoid provoking or obstructing demonstrators
- Secure your area (lock doors and safes; remove files, vital records, and expensive equipment)
- Avoid area of disturbance
- Continue with normal routines as much as possible.
- If the disturbance is outside, stay away from doors or windows. Stay inside
- If officers are not already present, call the Department of Campus safety & Security ext. 6666, to alert them to the situation

At Orlando, Fla., Johnny Jefferson rushed for three touchdowns and a record 299 yards, and No. 18 Baylor ran past No. 10 North Carolina 49-38 in the Russell Athletic Bowl on Tuesday night.
Despite missing two quarterbacks, an award-winning receiver, and a 1,000-yard running back, the Bears' No. 1-ranked scoring offense stayed creative, pounding out 645 yards rushing and 756 total yards — both records for this bowl.
Devin Chafin added 161 yards and a touchdown, and Terence Williams rushed for 97 yards and two touchdowns for the Bears (10-3).
North Carolina (11-3) tried to match Baylor's scoring output but had a key fumble in the third quarter that stifled its comeback...

MACON, Ga. - Lipscomb freshman Kara Jackson emerged victorious in her first career dual match, notching the Lady Bisons only point in a 6-1 loss to Chattanooga last weekend.
Jackson added another first to her resume, picking up her first career Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honor the conference office announced.
The elementary education major is the first women's tennis player in school history to claim a weekly honor and the first freshman to do so since Stetson's Samantha Lange in 2006.
Jackson competed at the number two slot, and downed Chattanooga's Beata Knizat 6-3, 6-2 in just her third collegiate match.
The Dayton, Ohio native took to the court twice in the fall season, falling in straight sets on both occasions and winning a mere four games in both outings combined.

The Bailey House Top 10 Champions and Scoundrels for 2012
2012 was a year packed with triumph and disasters from political conventions and Hurricane Sandy to HIV activists doing civil disobedience in the buff in Congressman Boehner's office. This was also a year filled with bittersweet memories of the early epidemic and Act-Up in David France's "How to Survive a Plague" and the smashing success of the National AIDS Housing Coalition's North American HIV/AIDS Housing and Healthcare Summit, which brought together 100's of researchers, international policy makers and activists at the World Bank.
There were also other moments, some national and others close to home that caught our attention. As we dangle off the fiscal cliff in this last week of December, we want to share our Top 10 Champions and Scoundrels:
1. Tied for #1 are Governor Cuomo and Speaker Christine Quinn for their staff's work in getting us the equipment we needed to do the initial clean-up of Bailey-Holt House and for advocating for us with state and city agencies
2. Bailey-Holt House residents who are managing being displaced and staying connected to us and each other
3. M*A*C AIDS Fund, Elton John AIDS Foundation, Rocking Moon Foundation and other donors for generous contributions to the Bailey-Holt House Emergency Fund
4. The Imperial Court of New York for all of their support and campy entertainment
5. NYC's Rapid Repair program for replacing all of the Bailey-Holt House boilers with new, shiny ones
6. VOCAL, Housing Works and Health Gap for their yearlong advocacy efforts
7. The Bailey House 30th Gala and Auction Committee for planning what will be an amazing event on 3/28/13
8. DIFFA and Broadway Cares for playing Santa with plentiful gifts for all BHH residents
9. The "30 for 30" Campaign for relentless advocacy on behalf of HIV+ women
10. NYS Office of Mental Health staff, who helped us open the new Behavioral Health Center in East Harlem
1. Hurricane Sandy and HASA tie for #1 for Sandy's storm surge and for HASA's refusal to reimburse us for over $300,000 in supportive services and operational expenses incurred post Sandy
2. HASA for failing to cut red tape or assist with the Bailey-Holt House evacuation and rehousing effort after Sandy
3. HASA staff who didn't seem to know that on October 29, 30th and 31st no one living in or near Bailey-Holt House could call the HASA Service Line because their cell phones were dead and all the land lines were out
4. NYC Water Board for sending us a whopping November water bill for Bailey-Holt House even though it was vacant
5. NYS Office of Medicaid Redesign for implementing the Health Home model without thinking through critical aspects of funding and care
6. Congress for dangling all of us off the fiscal cliff
7. Alabama, Georgia and other states, which are refusing Medicaid expansion while having some of the highest per capita rates of HIV infection in the nation
8. "Test and Treat" proponents who fail to address homelessness
9. Proponents of abstinence based programs for their willful disregard of evidence based HIV prevention
10. The Westboro Baptist Church for just about everything
As we look forward to our 30th anniversary in 2013, we remain committed to helping men, women and young adults living with HIV/AIDS get housing and have access to care and services. After all these years we know more than ever that "The Future Starts with A Place to Live". Happy New Year from all of us at Bailey House and here's hoping that in 2013 the champions far outnumber the scoundrels in your life!
One Comment
As a long, long time resident, past peer counselor of Baily House Inc. I would also like to thank all of you that have helped. It took Sandy; a disaster to show me the true meaning of family. I can't believe I entertained the though of staying at my temporary local. BHH may not be my permanent resident, but I will always be In the BH Family. Kevin and the rest of BH staff have been with me through-out, even-though they are not getting paid. My own family has not been this supportive. So, to though of you that have helped us ring in the New Year health and alive and a lot wiser. THANK YOU so much.
And May the New Year bring you all the love I and and my peers have received through your donations and help.

I'm on day 3 of a 4 day business trip. My 20 month old daughter has STTN with dad every night i've been gone (they are co-sleeping). She has not once STTN or even close in 20 mos for me - the Dairy Queen. I've got a nurse all night toddler. A good night's sleep in our bed is 2 to 3 wake ups.
She's also eating like a champ, much better than she does even when i am at work all day. I guess because she's going all night without nursing and many months ago said no to expressed milk. I miss them like crazy and can't wait to get home tomorrow, but I'm a little bummed that my return is going to bring with it the frequent wakings. Such a perpetual mom dilemma. She wakes to eat - I am happy to feed her. But we all sleep kind of like crap!

Alex Fallstrom is riding a six-game point streak heading into the Quinnipiac game (Gil Talbot).
Complete Game Notes (pdf)
Harvard vs. Quinnipiac Series History
Friday's game will be just the 19th meeting between the two teams, with Harvard holding a slight 8-7-3 edge in the all-time series. The Bobcats kicked off the series with a 5-2 win at the Hartford Civic Center, Nov. 4, 2005, but Harvard was unbeaten in the next five matchups, posting a 3-0-2 mark. There has only been one shutout in the previous 17 meetings, an 11-0 pounding by Harvard in the first of a three-game ECAC Hockey Tournament series March 14, 2008.
Jan. 5, 2013 at TD Bank Sports Center
Two early goals from Quinnipiac made it look like the game may get away from the Crimson, but Luke Greiner netted his second goal of the season to cut the Bobcats' lead to 2-1 after the first period. Three straight goals from the hosts in the second put the game out of reach, as a power-play tally by Alex Fallstrom wasn't enough to prevent the 6-2 final in favor of Quinnipiac.
Scouting The Bobcats
The seniors on the team have led the Bobcats to the No. 1 ranking in both national polls. Quinnipiac enters the weekend with an impressive 23-4-5 record and 16-1-3 conference mark, having locked up a first round bye in the ECAC Tournament long ago. There have been very few blemishes on the Bobcats' schedule this season and a 21-game unbeaten streak from Nov. 9-Feb. 9 helped propel the squad to the No. 1 ranking in the land.
Senior forward Jeremy Langlois is the team's leading scorer with 11-16-27 points in 31 games. Sophomore Matthew Peca is next with 10-10-20 points, and senior Jordan Samuels-Thomas shares the team goals lead with Langlois at 11. The Bobcats boast 13 players who have double-digit point totals on the season, including senior defensemen Mike Dalhuisen and Loren Barron, who lead all defenders with 13 points each.
Another four-year player, Eric Hartzell, has been the go-to choice in net this season, playing nearly 95% of the minutes for Quinnipiac. He boasts a .935 save percentage and miniscule 1.49 goals against average which ranks second in the nation. His four shutouts also rank second in the country, and he backstops the nation's best penalty kill (91.4%).
Harvard vs. Princeton Series History
In Harvard's second-most contested series, the Crimson holds a commanding 147-57-11 edge in 215 career meetings. The first game of the series was played in 1902 in New York City, where Harvard skated to a 6-3 victory.
Recently, the matchups have been closely contested with eight of the past 10 meetings being either one-goal games or ties. Harvard is 4-4-2 against the Tigers in that stretch.
Jan. 4, 2013 at Baker Rink
Facing a 2-0 deficit against the Tigers, senior Marshall Everson stepped up to get the Crimson on the board, closing the gap to one after two periods. A power-play goal from Colin Blackwell with 7:10 to play knotted the score at 2-2 but Andrew Calof's third goal of the game 58 seconds into overtime gave the Tigers a dramatic victory.
Scouting The Tigers
Entering the final weekend of regular-season play, Princeton, like many teams in the ECAC, is very much alive in the hunt for home ice in the first round of the tournament. The Tigers helped their cause by picking up five league victories in the span of a month, culminating in a weekend sweep of Colgate and Cornell Feb. 8-9. However, the last four games have seen the Tigers come out on the losing end, with three of the four losses being of the one-goal variety.
Junior Andrew Calof ranks ninth in the country, third in the ECAC and first in the Ivy League in scoring, boasting a 1.30 points-per-game average and 12-23-35 points on the season. Senior defenseman Michael Sdao is fourth on the team, and tied for first among defensemen, in scoring with 7-6-13 points, and leads all Princeton players with four power-play tallies this season.
Senior Mike Condon has taken the reins in net for Princeton, starting 18 games and holding a .922 save percentage and 2.54 goals-against average. Junior Sean Bonar has started nine games for Princeton this year.
Last Time Out
Riding a four-game unbeaten streak, its longest of the season, the Crimson traveled to the North Country to take on St. Lawrence and Clarkson.
Harvard started fast against the Saints, taking a 1-0 edge just 5:39 into the game on a Marshall Everson power-play goal. Kyle Flanagan evened the game at 11:20 of the first and the score stayed knotted through the second period. Jimmy Vesey regained the lead for the guests with a goal at 1:15 of the third, but a pair of St. Lawrence goals came 12 seconds apart, serving to sink the Crimson en route to a 4-2 final.
While Clarkson drew first blood Saturday night, the Crimson had the last laugh. Down 1-0 5:24 into the first, Kyle Criscuolo struck twice just 1:09 apart and classmate Greg Gozzo collected his first career goal to give Harvard a 3-1 lead after one. Clarkson closed the gap to 3-2 on a Simon Bessette goal in the second, but three third-period tallies allowed the Crimson to pull away. Gozzo got his second of the game and Conor Morrison and Brayden Jaw also scored to seal the 6-2 win.
Playoff Scenarios
While Harvard is locked into either the 11th or 12th seed in the ECAC Tournament, Harvard's first round opponent is still far from decided. There are nine possible first round opponents for Harvard, excluding Quinnipiac, which has locked up the No. 1 seed, and Colgate, which can finish no higher than seventh.
Firsts For The Freshmen
Rookies Brayden Jaw and Greg Gozzo picked up the first goals of their collegiate careers in the 6-2 win over Clarkson. Gozzo had a pair of scores in the game, including the game-winning tally, and Jaw's goal also represented his first collegiate point. Their goals mean every position player from the class of 2016 has recorded a goal this season.
All About Alex
With an assist in the games against St. Lawrence and Clarkson last weekend, senior Alex Fallstrom extended his point streak to six games. The stretch represents a career-high for Fallstrom, and is the longest point streak on the team this season.
They Come In Pairs
For the second time this season, Harvard has produced two, two-goal scorers in a single game. Rookies Greg Gozzo and Kyle Criscuolo each tallied a pair of scores in the 6-2 win over Clarkson. Marshall Everson teamed with Luke Greiner against BU to give Harvard two, two-goal scorers in a single game for the first time this season.
Facing No. 1
The Bobcats come into Bright Hockey Center as the No. 1 team in the nation in both polls. Harvard last faced the nation's top team Feb. 6, 2012 when it dropped a 3-1 decision to No. 1 Boston University in a Beanpot semifinal. Harvard's last win over a top-ranked team came Nov. 17, 2004 when it knocked off local rival Boston College, 3-1, at home.
Must Be McGregor
Harvard is 3-0-0 when sophomore Ryan McGregor scores a point. He logged an assist in a 4-0 shutout of Rensselaer Nov. 10, and collected a pair of helpers in Harvard's 6-5 comeback win over Boston University Jan. 9. He picked up his fourth assist of the season in the 6-2 victory at Clarkson.
Four Score
Harvard is 7-0-0 in games where it scores at least four goals this season and 8-1-0 in games where it scores at least three goals. Four was the magic number for the Crimson last season, as Harvard was unbeaten (9-0-2) when scoring four or more goals in a game.
Century Club
Five members of the class of 2013 have eclipsed the 100-games played mark in their careers. Danny Biega leads the way with 127, followed by Luke Greiner with 118 and Marshall Everson with 114. Alex Fallstrom has played in 108 games in his collegiate career and Conor Morrison is the most recent member of the group, playing in his 100th game in the 6-2 win over Clarkson.
The last time Harvard had five seniors eclipse the 100-game mark was during the 2007-08 season, led by Jon Pelle '08 with 135 for his career.
Marshall Everson became the first Harvard player to earn ECAC Hockey Player of the Week honors for the 2012-13 season. The week of Feb. 10-16 saw the senior tally six goals in four games, including back-to-back two-goal games against Boston University and Colgate. He put together a five-game goal streak from Feb. 9-22 that represented the longest of his career and the longest of any Harvard player this season.
"C"LASSy Finalist
Senior Danny Biega, the 120th captain of the Harvard men's hockey team, was named a finalist for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award. He is Harvard hockey's second-ever candidate for the award, and first since Brian McCafferty '09 was a candidate in 2009. Biega is one of 10 finalists and the award winner will be selected during the NCAA Frozen Four April 11-13 in Pittsburgh, Pa. He is the only Senior CLASS Award finalist from ECAC Hockey.
Biega is coming off his most prolific year in Cambridge. In 2011-12, Biega received CCM Hockey first team All-America honors, was a runner-up for ECAC Hockey Player of the Year and was the named the league's Best Defensive Defenseman. He was named to the ECAC Hockey Championship All-Tournament team and All-Ivy League first team and ranked second in the nation in points per game among defensemen (1.03).
Kyle Style
Freshman Kyle Criscuolo missed 10 games due to an injury, but has logged five assists and two goals in eight games since his return. Four of those five assists have been primary helpers on goals scored by Marshall Everson.
Assist Men
Brian Hart and Colin Blackwell have been busy handing out helpers recently. Hart has six assists in his last five games, and Blackwell has four in the last five contests. Hart has had four, two-assist games in his rookie campaign, with three of those games occurring in his last five contests.

Feedback Request for using NuGet Without Committing Packages
When installing a package into a project, NuGet creates a packages.config file within the project (if it doesn't already exist) which is an exact record of the packages that are installed in the project. At the same time, a folder for the package is created within the solution level packages folder containing the package and its contents.
Currently, it's expected that the packages folder is committed to source control. The reason for this is that certain files from the package, such as assemblies, are referenced from their location in the packages folder. The benefit of this approach is that a package that is installed into multiple projects does not create multiple copies of the package nor the assembly. Instead, all of the projects reference the same assembly in one location.
If you commit the entire solution and packages folder into source contral, and another user gets latest from source control, they are in the same state you are in. If you omitted the the packages folder, the project would fail to build because the referenced assembly would be missing.
This approach doesn't work for everyone. We've heard from many folks that they don't want their packages folder to be checked into their source control.
Fortunately, you can enable this workflow today by following David Ebbo's approach described in his blog post, Using NuGet without committing Packages.
But in NuGet 1.4 we're planning to make it integrated into NuGet. We will be adding a new feature to restore any missing packages and the packages folder based on the packages.config file in each project when you attempt to build the project. This ensures that your application will compile even if the packages folder is missing at the time, which might be the case if you don't commit it to source control.
We have certain requirements we plan to meet with this feature. Primarily, it has to work in a Continuous Integration (CI Server) scenario. So it must work both within Visual Studio when you build, but also outside of Visual Studio when you use msbuild.exe to compile the solution.
For more details, please refer to:
If you have feedback on the design of this feature, please provide it in the discussion thread. Also, do keep in mind that this next release is our first iteration to address this scenario. We think we'll hit the primary use cases, but we may not get everything. But don't worry, we'll continue to release often and address scenarios that we didn't anticipate.
Thanks for your support!

Pets, Pets, Pets
Editor's Note: On Feb.11, after the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show," Pets" columnist Joanne Anderson will be joining the nation's new top K-9 and dog dignitaries to celebrate when she also receives the Metropolitan Dog Club "President's Award" during the Best In Show Brunch in Grand Central. The following overview of her hunt for the site of Westminster's roots in Babylon will appear in the "MDC Blue Book magazine" to be distributed at Westminster this year.
Imagine finding out that Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) had property, a fancy 40 by 60 foot clubhouse and kennels in your hometown. Imagine also learning "Sensation" Westminster's iconic Pointer is practically buried in your Babylon back yard; then discovering that no one, including Westminster, knows precisely where. The news set me on a quest, equivalent to the Dog Vinci Code.
Sensation, Where Art Thou? The stately Pointer on Westminster's purple logo is symbolic of both the purebred dog and the world's most famous show. Whelped in England 1874, imported 2 years later to promote the newly formed club and exhibition, Pointer extraordinaire "Don", renamed "Sensation", did just that. His record and progeny lived up to his moniker.
"Sensation" has graced most every Westminster catalog and award. "Old Don" retired to LI and was laid to rest in 1887 beneath a flagpole with a Pointer-shaped weather vane atop, in front of the Babylon clubhouse. A century later, both the grave and clubhouse are gone.
How could the clubhouse-so prestigious, so huge, vanish without a trace to Westminster or a shred of memory to the old time locals? Though I've written this Babylon Beacon pet column almost 26 years, walked my Afghans in the same Westminster woods, only since 2006 while judging articles for Dog Writers did I stumble on news that the K-9 King Tut was interred nearby. Here are the findings so far:
Farmhouse Musical Chairs: In 1880 NYC Westminster leased 64 acres west of Babylon's Southards Pond for pigeon shooting grounds and space to breed Pointers. The sportsmen's paradise already had a rundown 1700s farmhouse, refurbished as a temporary clubhouse, its barns as the first kennels. After purchasing the land, the club moved the farmhouse in 1884 to make room for their elaborate $8,000 clubhouse built on the original spot.
The farmhouse became home to the kennel superintendent, James Mortimer, also in charge of the Madison Square Garden show. Westminster left Babylon in 1904 when the state banned pigeon shooting. The clubhouse burned down in 1918 while Ewell (the new owner) leased it to a Brooklyn muscle man as a health resort/pig farm. Later the original farmhouse was moved again to an empty foundation across the street at 358 Livingston, where it still stands.
Ewell descendants and the present farmhouse occupants were unaware of their connection to dogdom. An 1870 survey and deeds show exact boundaries, even a pear tree and stake in the pond, but no structures. The Kennel Club owned no other maps 'til I started digging around town.
MapQuest: With the help of Mr. Bill Stifel, Westminster's historian, author of- The Dog Show: 125 Years of Westminsterwe've scrutinized every lead. Was the clubhouse located in the woods where we might uncover proof or buried forever under the Chronicling new findings with 20 Beacon updates so far, I have access to local newspaper archives, town historians, and senior Babylonians. I can view village tax ledgers, censuses, surveys, county libers, and find the principal players, including WKC charter member C.D.Wagstaff's tomb in Babylon Cemetery. After I mailed a flyer to over 100 homes built on former WKC land, 2 people called about digging up strange cement. Hmm. The kennels housing up to 200 dogs had concrete floors.
Some residents described the area 50+years ago. An engineer super imposed maps focusing on a spot close to the farmhouse, whereas a mysterious sandpit at the SW corner by the pond remains my primary area of interest, supported by the recollections of a lady who played there in the 1940s, pre-WKC maps and early 20th C. aerial photography.
The first of about 20 maps to surface, a 1902 Hyde, is the only one that names the clubhouse, but its cartographer also neglected to paint and label Southards Pond. Likewise, microfilm and accounts in old journals contain gaps, contradictions and discrepancies, some that sent me chasing the wrong fire for months.
High Tech Hunting: Ewell's great granddaughter provided rare families photos, a few dated, that show the former clubhouse, a kennel-like fire and possibly the flagpole up close. We've analyzed them for shadow angles, vegetation, and architectural hints. I've consulted vintage auto and clothing experts to pinpoint years.
Unlike vertical archaeology, evidence appears in haphazard sequence. However, aerial shots of the sandpit have been uncovered in reverse order- 1938 from the Smithsonian, 1928 from the County, and now 1918 from a WWI squadron which seems to show the clubhouse complex shortly before the blaze.
The WKC clubhouse had a "wine cellar well-supplied"; part of the cellar may remain. Looking for a foundation Dr. Dan Davis, Stony Brook Univ. geophysicist took GPR (ground penetrating radar) readings around the target "sandpit" area. His students analyzed the data for human disturbance, but findings so far are inconclusive. Littering years later compounds a soil timeline.
X Marks the Spot: Meanwhile Babylon "Bloodhounds" continue the search, sniffing out more clues. My goal is canine closure; then the clubhouse site and "Sensation's" final flagpole enshrined with an historical marker, lettering in Westminster purple. Nothing else will do.
•Note- Westminster TV Special: CNBC's "Amer ican Or iginal s : Westminster Dog Show" premieres Thurs. Feb. 5 at 9 pm and 1 am, re-airs Sun. Feb. 8 at 10 pm.

For Adoption: The dogs and cats at Oyster Bay Town Shelter (677-5784) Miller Pl. Syosset would love to be someone's #1 Pet. "Spoodle" #0023 is a happy, but older male Maltese mix while "Phoenix" # 0026 is a majestic, orange longhaired cat. "Phoenix" and his pretty muted calico sister "Phoebe"#0025 were abandoned by a tenant who moved.

ONM writes: ZombiU has split opinion. From 4.5 out of 10 to 92%, Ubisoft's survival horror game has been on the receiving end of some negative and positive reviews which has confused many Nintendo fans who just want to know if they should buy it or not. But why has it polarised opinion and why is there such a big difference between US and UK reviews?
maybe because some people like and some people don't? pretty weird logic Huh? you people need to stop taking a review so seriously all it is, is an opinion itself. formulate your own opinion by either buying or "renting" the game.
I havent gotten this game yet but I did notice in Miiverse last night that it had more people there then any other 3rd party game. Everyone playing the game seemed to love the challenge.
The funniest thing about the whole thing to me is how certain people hated the game since the day it was announced, and are sticking to the low scoring reviews as fact, while also dismissing or ignoring the good reviews.
"profgerbik + 1d 12h ago I hate CoD but I am getting this for my Vita eventually.
Why because I know for a fact it isn't nearly as bad as everyone assumed it was going to be, I mean what kind of SP did people expect on a 4GB game card anyway..
Almost all the excellent single player games on the Vita pretty much use all the space on the card, killing any hopes for MP unless it added on later with DLC or something.
Regardless like you said it is better than Resistance and for it be getting far worse reviews is just stupid already, even me hating CoD ever since it moved to console will tell you that.
Sad more journalist can't just be more rational with their reviews."
"profgerbik + 1d 14h ago I knew Zombi U was not going to be as great as everyone thought.
But no I got shit all month just for saying that, sorry I am observant. I mean it took one look at some real game play for me to figure out that it was just going to be added to the slew of petty Zombie games we already have.. the animations in that game were awful..
People already had their minds up and nothing was going to change that.
Here are a few more people showing their double standards
The same could be asked about AC3,HALO, and COD. It's mostly because people like different things. At the end of the day reviews are just opinions. I'm sure zombie U will have it's fans and it's haters.

Holy Ferraris, Batman!
The $4.6 million sale of TV's original Batmobile grabbed most of the headlines from the Scottsdale car auction this weekend, but the huge prices paid for Ferraris and other exotics were the real story.
Two Ferraris sold for more than $8 million, and 23 cars sold for more than $1 million in Scottsdale. That helped set an all-time sales total record for Scottsdale of $223.8 million—$40 million more than the record set last year, and $60 million more than the pre-crisis peak of $163 million in 2007.

Supporting Breast Cancer Research and Education Programs at The Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute
What A Pair!, the event that has delighted audiences since its inception in 2002 and over the last decade, will present star duets in a one-night only Broadway caliber production on Saturday, April 13th at 7p.m. (silent auction opens at 6:00) at The Broad Stage at the Santa Monica College Performing Arts Center. The "pairings" of celebrities from television, film, music and Broadway are comical, heartwarming, and entertaining performances that can only be seen at this concert!
The event was founded by Ruth Stalford, Jody Price and Jo Levi DiSante when a personal tragedy motivated the three Hollywood producers to do something to give back. What A Pair! has raised over $2.5 million dollars for breast cancer research, and has partnered with the team at the world-renowned Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute, highly acclaimed for its cancer research and education programs.
"We are so excited to partner with What A Pair! for the first time and are deeply grateful for the support that the benefit concert will generate for our breast cancer research and education programs," said Bruce Gewertz, M.D., chair of the Department of Surgery, Vice President for interventional services, and the H & S Nichols Chair in Surgery at Cedars Sinai.
This year's Honorary Co-Chairs are Giuliana and Bill Rancic and Lisa Ling and Paul Song, MD, and the Co-Chairs are Cookie Markowitz and Tracy Forester. Talent confirmed to perform include: Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Loretta Devine, Mary Birdsong, Rosa Blasi, Taylor Dayne, Joely Fisher, Mary Ann Mobley, Janel Parrish, Katie Lowes, Lea Thompson, Maggie Wheeler and many others.
The 2013 What A Pair! Benefit Concert is produced by Ruth Stalford and directed by Larry Carpenter. Larry directs ABC's General Hospital, and recently directed the Sony/Nickelodeon telenovela project Hollywood Heights. He is recipient of three Daytime Emmys and four DGA Awards.
Presenting Sponsors for the 2013 What A Pair! Benefit Concert are Wallis Annenberg, the Annenberg Foundation and Cookie and Ron Markowitz.
Tickets: $250 includes the after party with celebrities, silent auction, and reception; cuisine generously provided by Angelini Osteria, Vincenti Ristorante, and Georgetown Cupcakes. Please visit www.cedars-sinai.edu/whatapair for more information and to order tickets, or call (323) 866-6231.

A WELL known Winsford fish 'n' chip is 'fighting for survival' after the local authority announced plans to implement double yellow lines on the road outside.
Cheshire West and Chester Council is in a formal consultation over plans to introduce double yellow lines on a section of the A54 High Street.
However, the proposals mean customers of Foodcraft would no longer be able to park outside the shop, something owner John Finney believes will be the death of his business.
"We are fighting for our survival," he said. "We don't have the resources to relocate so we will have to close. This is a business that has taken a lifetime to build.
"We live in a town that's dying, as far as the town centre is concerned, week on week there are more empty shops.
"But they will close a business down that has up to 1,200 customers a week, who come to spend money in our town and pay the wages of our workers from the town – we employ 12 people, sometimes 17, many on a full time basis."
Mr Finney's father bought Foodcraft more than 40 years ago, but he fears the family-run business is on the brink of closure.
"For the last 40 years people have stopped outside our shop," he said. "This will absolutely bring our business down."
These views were echoed by Mike Bennett, whose hairdressers the Cutting Edge will also be affected.
He added: "It's ridiculous; this will impact massively on my business as customers will have to walk from the town centre.
"At this moment in time business is not brilliant and it's hard enough without having to battle the council, who are supposed to be on our side."
Mike Kennedy, Winsford mayor, said the council were making decisions with 'no thought or regard' for the people in the town.
"How do I, as mayor, make a promise at my inauguration to engage with and support local business when silly decisions are made to hinder and harm local business," he said.
"In Foodcraft, yes we are talking about a fish, pie and chip shop, but it is so much more to Winsford – it is an institution.
"It was nice to hear about Localism, but annoying in the extreme to find out it means nothing.
"Do Cheshire West and Chester Council believe that Winsford should be destroyed? I doubt it, so let us have some common sense."
Councillor Lynn Riley, executive member for localities, said: "Parked vehicles along this stretch of the A54 create a hazard because they restrict the use of one lane, forcing motorists to switch lanes.
"The proposal to remove on-street parking follows a detailed assessment of all options."
Foodcraft has started an online petition against the proposals, it can be found at ipetitions.com/petition/savefoodcraft

ugh im sorry i read a few comments down and then stopped. YOU do not want to summon any thing unless you no what you are doing and what its all about.
I have created a power orb before but would now like to try out the world of simple witchcraft.
If possible could you post a easy spell that i could try to start off?
i do not no how far along you are with this, meaning how much you have done in the past.
my warning is that in some cases you will wish you had never learned. sense i awakened about a year back i was not given the choose to see or not to see things that make your hair stand up on end. my suggestion is if there is a trusted pagan store in your area is to go to them first or if you no some wise older people that no alot bout it to go to them to learn.
First you will want to learn how to ground yourself, possibly working on intuitive thinking after that(tarot readings, ruins, oracle cards, stones, bones, tea...etc...), then work on little things like if you are a type of person who is very sensitive to things(feeling things out(its like tingling....living things have the highest, feeling things out can also mean trying to sense what kind of person some one is by looking at them, to sense what they r all about....there feelings), then do something like tinsy bits of energy work. keep in mind the law of three. or do unto others as you would like done unto you, or if you send out bad ill to some one it will come back to you thrice fold.every action has an ultimate reaction. so when doing energy work try to make an energy ball in your hand or take a smoky quarts and have some fun with ppl who practice with you, by envisioning energy, think green(positive) flowing into the rock and filling it up....not ment to hurt just to tickle your fellow partner....tap the rock with your forefinger at them playfully and watch them squirm..some ppl cant feel it some times it just means that there not very sensitive. but when they throw it at you send it back to them. my mentor said to me...its not good to send out negitivity towards others cause of karma but its okay to send it back...then she leaned down and said sometimes i send a little bite back(only if someone did something really stupid. you can send other ppls negative energy back to them to by just saying i send it back....! I myself if i were you would get familiar with the basic things before jumping into something that takes some thing more.
even if your curious about all this doesnt mean that you should do everything you want when ever you want to....no what your getting into before you do. i do not like ooji boards, ppl opening portals, doing binds, sending out ill, nd i hate energy vamps.
im a healer....i cant heal bones, cuts or any of that fancy stuff. i send healing energy to the person in need. i can see were they hurt by colors....red being hurt, green being okay, yellow in between, blue is still a bit off but its to me coldness or loss of something...blood flow being bad. i can do astro with out wanting to with my eyes open randomly(dont try it untill you get a handle on things and you no how to ground and get yourself back to yourself.) i can read people...nd no things about them that they do not always no them self's...sometimes its not so nice to no and i feel like im invading there privacy but i cant control it....ooohhh put up blocks(shields). I can do pretty much all readings but i hate scrying....i dont get all to good things with that....not my thing...nd crystal balls i have to work on. i see into the past...sometimes i have visions of stuff that may occur....i see spirits as of last week...which brought me here, i was on a sort of leave from this stuff then two of my kitties died from distemper nd now im back...i saw them leave there body when they died. i can see shadows( i call them that...they r pretty much human made....scary things tht go bump in the night....they r ppls bad feelings and emotions piling up and taking form. dont give them names or give them a shape. once you give them a name they gain power...they feed from fear, anger, sadness... they cant hurt you tho. then there r dark presence entities....(i hope i got the name right, see ive been not good with night sense all of this came about for me) i do not no much about but i had an encounter with one last summer....it actually drained from me....it was something from my past that i never got rid of....it was scary....(im not supposed to talk about it but shh ill tell you) i had already known that it was round i didnt want to do anything by my self...pee, sleep, walk around etc...luckily my little group and i were always together...my boyfriend and i went outside so he could have a smoke and ill never forget this....i saw one of my podem spirit animals in the tree across the way(raven) and my boyfriends(wolf) laying down. all of a sudden they jolted up and the raven stretched out its wings like it was about to swoop down....my body started to feel cold....and i got this weird feeling....foreboding...my hair stood up on my arms nd out of no where i started screaming....it was not the normal screaming either...very load....very deep screaming omg....i never felt so weird in my entire life....i later found out that my astro voice had kicked in...screaming is what scared it away im surprised i didnt wake the whole neighborhood. we ended up getting ride of it through a sort of circle.. with stones...i never had a
I never had a choose if i wanted to see it or not but i hope if you get into this that you do get the choose and to learn how to ground yourself out first. dont get ahead of yourself..that is the most crucial.
remember with all religions there is good and there is bad....its about what you choose and who you are as a person that matters. pagan is what i am....i do not follow wiccian, or any other thing...i just put a bunch of different things together and make it my own....to me life and happiness and helping others is what matters the most to me...also if you dont no there are lots of different types of Wicca. why people call them self's pagan is because pagan is actually protected under the state law whilst wiccian is not...that is why a bunch of my friends call themselves pagan. we call christian witches criswitches here lol silly i no.
also there are spells....but remember...do research to see what they actually do....you should no what u r doing before you do it....dont trust everything you hear or see....there is always more to it then you would expect. some spells may work for some people but for others if it takes ingredients and other stuff like that it might be different for you....one person may only need one cup of soil whilst you might need ten cups. every one person is different.
Also on a final measure good luck and happy exploring
merry meet

I'm currently learning a "practice"....and at this point in my journey I have naturally learned quite a few basic "spells" (which I don't intend to work, until I KNOW much, much more about my craft).
Eh....it really sounds like your trying to jump into something serious without enough information...and that is a scary notion.
NO offense but it seems a spiritually reckless course of action.
Posted 10 July 2010 - 08:51 PM
I have created a power orb before but would now like to try out the world of simple witchcraft.
If possible could you post a easy spell that i could try to start off?
You posted about being worried about a Demon? Witchcraft will get you one!
That is wrong.. witchcraft isn't "evil" like every one thinks it is. As for doing spells. Make sure your ready to do them. Before doing any kind of magic one must learn all they can. Do NOT just jump into magick like it's a game because it isn't. What you give out you will get back three fold.

Unseen, I don't quite agree that the words are meaningless, its a focus for the intent, both for the practitioner and the energy itself
Crystal, while its true that one should always be careful, I think you may be looking at kind of a dated definition of witchcraft, Wicca means Path of the Wise but back in the 16th century a witch referred to someone who entered into contract with the infernal powers. Now I'm sure in that Era any non-Christian divinity was seen as Infernal and a lot of good people were executed for their beliefs

Punisher: Uncut Special Edition, The (AT - DVD)
Gabe Powers reviews the uncut release of this 1980s Dolph Lundgren feature...
This review is sponsored by
Five years ago, Lt. Frank Castle's family was murdered by a Mob car bomb meant for him. Assumed dead in the explosion as well, Castle has assumed the role of the Punisher, a heavily armed, sewer dwelling vigilante, and over the last five years he's 'punished' one hundred and twenty five of the Mob's best men. Just when it appears vengeance will be done, the Japanese Yakuza steps into town to take control of the US Mob's assets. Due to Castle's steady stream of attacks, the Mob is incapable of protecting their own, and innocent children of Mafiosos are kidnapped and held for ransom. Will the Punisher overcome his hatred in favour of saving the children from a life of black market Asian slavery?
I still remember growing up in the '80s and early '90s, thinking, even in light of Tim Burton's Batman and its critical and box office successes, that I'd never see a live action interpretation of any of my favourite Marvel universe characters. Youngins' today don't even know how lucky they are to have a great X-Men film, not to mention two great Spider-Man films, a great Hulk film, and even a few descent Blade films. Comic book based films, Marvel's in particular, are so popular today that it's hard to believe that any major studio would hesitate for a second to release a new one. This generation even has its own Punisher movie, and it wasn't nearly as bad as the general public would lead you to believe.
But enough about the kids, back to me and mine. I still remember sitting around in the lunchroom, discussing ideal casting of X-Men characters with my friends. Arnold Swartzenegger as Colossus, Mel Gibson as Wolverine, and of course, Tina Turner as Storm (look, not every nine year old would make the best casting director, and I still say Turner could've done a better job than Halley Berry). I still remember renting the straight-to-video Captain America movie, and feeling as if I'd committed a crime (it was rated, gasp, PG-13). I even remember hearing about the hard R rated The Punisher, staring Dolph Lundgren from my friends with more submissive parents. I was assured that even though he didn't have a skull on his chest this was the real deal. It became legend.
One cannot talk about the Lundgren Punisher these days without bringing up Thomas Jane's 2004 re-vamp. I actually enjoy both versions of the character, and while Jane may have the superior acting chops, I still hold a soft spot for old Dolphy's monosyllabic rendition. In truth, the two films are indicative of the character and comic-dom's ever-changing inclinations. In the late '80s, The Punisher was a one-dimensional character for the most part, and suffered from Marvel's insistence on holding to the Comic Code Authority, insuring that the character was unable to spill the appropriate amount of blood. The live action film was a bit of a revelation, not so much in that it was that much more violent than the comic, but in that it represented the comic's violence in a somewhat realistic light. The modern Punisher was re-written by Garth Ennis, the mad mastermind behind The Preacher, and Marvel finally saw fit to drop the Code. Jane's movie was frowned upon by fans in light of Ennis' ultra-violent work, in that it may not have pushed the boundaries far enough.
Unfortunately for Lundgren, the basic 2-D qualities of the character were carried over into his film, and no one could ever accuse the picture of being anything more than simply entertaining. At least he wins the super-deep voice contest. The funny thing is that if one pretends technology and fashion have taken a few steps backwards over the last fifteen years, Lundgren's film could easily be a sequel to Jane's. Not only does the movie take place five years after the Punisher's reign has been established, but Lundgren plays the character as a much more tired shell, whereas Jane, the younger Punisher, still has a flicker of life behind his eyes.
The idea of a continued story arc is there as well. Jane's film ends with Frank Castle assuming the role of the Punisher, having found satisfaction in his law breaking law enforcement. Lundgren's film introduces (albeit awkwardly) the idea that perhaps brutal blind vengeance may not have been the best course of action, in that it has lead directly to the endangerment of innocent children. I can't help but assume that the follow up to the 2004 film will cover some very similar ground.
Director Mark Goldblatt is most well known for his editing work on various action films since the 1980s, including Terminator 2 and Starship Troopers. Watching this low budget and frankly silly film, it's obvious that the man's an ace editor. The cutting really does save the bargain basement set pieces. Visually, the film lies somewhere between early Sam Raimi and early James Cameron. It has energy to spare. The Jane remake is a medium budget modern studio flick posing as a low budget '70s/'80s era action quickie. Lundgren's original has the good fortune of being the real thing. Sure, it was almost the '90s by the time it came out, but we can let this slide due to the lack of a US theatrical release.
There are quite a few different versions of The Punisher out there, and from what I understand none of them are exactly pristine in the video quality field. This print is serviceable, but falters in quality during the few snippets of previously excised footage (footage cut for rating purposes). The biggest problem with the transfer is not necessarily its heavy grain, or even its veritable darkness, it is the fact that this is a very obviously interlaced version. The interlacing created a nasty combing effect. This combing is accompanied by the herky jerky presence of a NTSC to PAL transfer. Besides this I feel I must be lenient with the overall look of the disc, and have to say that sometimes a lo-fi look will fit a picture better than a perfect transfer.
The film is presented in a dubbed German 5.1 Dolby Digital track (unfortunately Lundgren does not dub his own voice, as I'm assuming the native Swede may have a working knowledge of the German language) and an English 2.0 track. There is an absence of subtitles, so I wasn't able to watch the film in German, but gave the track a listen. It's pretty artificial, is not impressively spaced, and in the end I think I'd actually recommend the original 2.0 track instead. The English track isn't nearly as aggressive as it could've been, and occasionally sounds a bit muddy, but dialogue is centred and clear and explosions loud enough for a STV release. Music, which is surprisingly well crafted (the Punisher's theme is actually kind of catchy) is solid, but like the rest of the mix has a tendency of flatness.
The reason to buy this set over the other 'uncut' versions of the film (though conflicting reports seem to state that this disc contains the only entirely uncut version of the film) is the presence of Goldblatt's original work print. Fans may want to cool their jets, however, as not only is the work print in really bad shape, but it's mostly made up of touchy feely scenes that Goldblatt was right to excise. It is interesting to see these deleted scenes, and there are quite a few of them, about fifteen minutes worth, so most Dolphers ( I just made that up) will probably still be happy.
The bulk of the difference is the film's beginning, which traces Frank's past. When he and his partner (who I may've forgotten to mention is played by everyone's favourite Drac, Louis Gossett Jr.) just barely miss arresting the Mob Boss that ends up offing Frank's family. After the sting fails, we're witness to scene after scene of nice guy Frank Castle loving his family. The idea was, obviously, to make us care more for Frank once his family was iced, but the scenes drag and are plagued by ugly late-eighties décor. The loss of the scenes helps the film, but it is too bad as Lundgren actually has a chance to show some acting range. The guy's really not all that bad.
The rest of the work print is peppered with smidgens of extras here and there, and unless you have the patience for sub-VHS quality video, I'd recommend skipping the rest. This probably could've been just as easily included as a series of deleted scenes rather than the entire working version of the film, but some of the scenes are edited in different order, and the idea of having a work print version at all is an intriguing one. The work print is in 1.33:1, and presented only in English Mono (which for a work print, is pretty impressive).
Other extras include the usual—trailers, picture galleries, and bios. The US and German trailers are identical in every aspect except, of course, their languages. The picture galleries include stills of video releases up to the recent UK uncut DVD release, along with a handful of posters (none of which say anything about being in theatres, adding fuel to my 'no theatrical release' assumption). The bios leave a bit to be desired, as Goldblatt is credited as only directing one film. A simply trip over to IMDb will tell you he's directed two feature length films (the other being the Treat Williams/Joe Piscopo vs. zombie opus Dead Heat), and an episode of the lost kids television classic, Eerie, Indiana. It also appears that he directed and produced a short film version of The Punisher in 1988. It would've been nice to see that make this special edition set.
In the end, I'd actually put the Thomas Jane and Dolph Lundgren Punisher films on an equal level. They are both very flawed, but each works entertainingly in its own way. I'm happy to see that even as an adult I find this forgotten little early Marvel gem worth a watching. There may not be a skull on Dolph's chest, but he's all Punisher, and has some of the best action movie lines I've ever heard, a real dry cool wit. The DVD leaves something to be desired, but there's really very little I can realistically complain about.
'You're a good boy, Tommy. Grow up to be a good man. Because if you don't... I'll be waiting.'
You can purchase this, and many other euro imports from my friends at Xploitedcinema.com, and check out their new DVD page graphics designed by yours truly.

If the Mets were counting on Chase Utley's hip injury to keep them close to the Phillies out of the gate, they've got another thing coming as the All-Star second baseman says he'll be ready by Opening Day, contradicting initial reports his rehab from surgery would keep him out through May.
Utley has been working out with the Phillies training staff five days a week, and said he'll be swinging a bat soon.
"In two to three weeks – that would be nice," Utley said. "If everything goes as planned, that's what we want to do. And right now, we're on schedule. … It's about listening to my body. Right now, we are listening and it's responding well. If that continues to happen, then I don't see why I won't be ready for Opening Day."

Samba - a Windows-readable file share
This article based on work done by Frontalot at Linkstationwiki.org
Samba[1] is a free software implementation of Microsoft's networking protocol released under the GNU General Public License. As of version 3, Samba not only provides file and print services for various Microsoft Windows clients but can also integrate with a Windows Server domain, either as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or as a Domain Member.

I checked my latch with 2 nurses(plus my LLL book). Latch good, milk coming in. Jaundice escalating... LC thinks thrush. Now on nystatin and grapefruit seed extract. Baby wets at each feed and had 2 poops today so far. Any thoughts on getting over these hurdles sooner?? I am persistent through the pain! This too shall pass, right??
