Twain House Valentine: 'I Married a Monster'
Tired of celebrating St. Valentine's Day the same ol', same ol' way?
The Mark Twain House & Museum may have just the ticket for an adults-only experience.
On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 17, master storyteller Tom Lee will weave his magic in a program on "Untraditional Marriages: I Married a Monster!" Literally, said Lee, laughing.
Think "Beauty and the Beast," for example. Or the Norwegian folktale about a beautiful woman who is forced to marry a polar bear; or the Peruvian story about the future wife of the Snake King.
Lee, a teller of folk stories, myths and legends -- some more than 5,000 years old -- is the star of a series of "Grown-Up Storytime" events at the Twain House this season. (Next up: On St. Patrick's Day, Sunday, March 17, he will return to present "Celtic Shadows: Forgotten Gods of Ireland.")
In a recent telephone chat, the 52-year-old Lee, of Chester, said he has been performing for more than 20 years for both children and adults, telling tales he has researched extensively at museums and libraries throughout the country.
His 75-minute sessions are tailored for his audiences and often reflect a special theme. The tales can run the gamut from beautiful, whimsical, dark, absurd and frightening to futuristic, serious, poignant and evocative of the distant past, he said.
More InformationMark Twain House & Museum, 351 Farmington Ave., Hartford. Sunday, Feb. 17, 2 p.m. $15. (House tours extra.) 860-280-3130; www.marktwainhouse.org
Among his specialties are Greek mythology, Egyptian and Mayan myths, Native American tales and those from Shakespeare, as well as stories from ancient Mesopotamia, India and China and Medieval Europe.
So popular are his programs that he is in demand at such venues as Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Metropolitan Opera, as well as the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven.
In addition to being a master artist with the state's Offices of Culture and Tourism, he is the storyteller-in-residence at the R.J. Kinsella Magnet School of the Performing Arts in Hartford, and director of artsVoyage program at Spencertown Academy in Spencertown, N.Y.
Lee said his on-stage goal is always to "stay out of the way of the story. I do my homework and (have honed) my craft. ... I'm just a conduit for the story."
He said that he feels a story is worth telling "when it's relevant to me. That's essential in order to make a connection with the audience, whether children or adults. The story, whether funny, sad or shocking, needs to be compelling (on its own) so I can present it in a hands-off way. "
As for the upcoming holiday event, Lee said that the theme of love and monsters is a very common element in human psychology.
It's a theme ever-present in the history of humankind. "When love becomes part of the monster's world, is it redemptive, transformative or is it tragic?" he asked.
Raised on Cape Cod, Mass., Lee said he was living in London after college, training in classical theater, when he "ran away" one summer to a tiny fishing village in Scotland.
There he became enamored of the stories of the Brothers Grimm. He recounted that "when friends asked what I was reading, I found myself caught up in recounting these amazing, sometimes unsettling tales."
Thus, a career was born. And he couldn't be happier.
"Often when I doing a performance, I think `this is exactly what I should be doing.' The greatest pleasure I get is at the end of a story, watching the faces in the audience as they come to realize that for 75 minutes they have been transported to another place.
"I revel in being in a place where the story lives ... and keeping this ancient tradition of story-telling alive."

Written By Rebecca Levey | Social Media Editor for Mom Blog Magazine | Blog: Beccarama | Podcast: Blogging Angels
Is your blog tired? Stuck on a plateau? Just starting out and feeling gung-ho but don't really know where to start? In the spirit of the New Year we are putting together a 12 week blog fitness plan to help you kick your blog into shape, get you energized and strengthen your social media influence.
Exercise 1 (January 3 - January 10)
This week is all about you getting a firm grasp on what your blog is about and what you want to say so you can set realistic goals. This week is about reflection, honesty and
dreaming big. We're getting old
fashioned and pulling out a pen and paper to make some lists and get real.
Step One: Analyze your stats.
On your blog:
On Twitter:
Step Two: Competitve analysis
Who are the bloggers you read and admire? Why? Don't say because they're funny or they have a huge following. How often do they post? What is their blog design like? How long have they been blogging for?
Do the same for Twitter. Who do you follow that you admire? Whose tweets spur you to retweet or respond? Why?
Step Three: Dare to Dream!
Be realistic, but don't be afraid to push yourself. Looking at your blog what is the biggest thing you want to change? In your wildest dreams what would your blog look like?
What kind of community do you want? Why are you blogging? These aren't easy questions but if you can't figure out what your blog is about then neither will readers. You don't have to carve out a tiny niche – but even if you're a generalist your voice should be
unique. So, what is it?
Join us on January 17, 2011 for the next exercise!

I'm really excited about the blog shape up plan! I've only been blogging since September 2010...and can I say "I'M OBSESSED". I stay up way past my bedtime reading and posting and just can't get enough of other mommy's and there endless advice.
I look forward to gaining more readers and connections! Thx for the tips!
Thanks for this series. I need to do the same for my blog. So far, my most popular posts are those about being a work-at-home mom (job ideas, how to stay fit at home, etc). I need to streamline my posts to focus on these popular posts and make future entries relevant to these themes.
Hello & thank you so much for your tips. I've just stared another branch you can say to my current blog which is about all about photography. I look forward to doing this course & finding new ways to have a better flow going. Thanks again!
Love the blogging education! I have just started blogging and these are some great tips!
great tips! thanks
Well I started the plan last year and never finished. Time for me to finish something that I started....

A bunch of years ago a friend of mine gave me disc and said, you've gotta check these guys out. The band, The Gourds, was named after the monetary unit of Haiti, and the album was called Cow Fish Fowl or Pig.
And it's great stuff, really.
I still have it, and it's funny that the songs pop up when I hit the random playlist for i-tunes, almost without fail. Considering my music library is well over 20 thousand songs, I laugh every time I hear one of the tracks.
You know, a few months ago, these guys were at Doug Fir in Portland, and there was some talk of getting together a bunch of people for the show, but the typical things happened. For the over 40-crowd, a start time of 10 p.m. with 3 bands on the bill on a Wednesday night didn't seem like a great idea. So we said, "well, next time….we'll wait for a reasonable night and try to go then."
But, lately, the "wait time" for the "reasonable time" seems to be getting shorter and shorter.
I've got this theory, that if I just sit still long enough, every music artist I'd like to see will be drawn to this region and appear within an hour drive of my doorstep.
Like, just this morning, I was informed of a concert by the kind folks at Ticketmaster that, once again, almost made me fall out of my chair (similar to when I found out Yulegrass was coming to town.)
A guy I've been hoping to see, for a long time, is gonna be at Edgefield at the end of August. Oh, and he'll happen to be on the bill with one of the living legends of music.
Edgefield, people. From my doorstep, that's even closer than the Rose Garden.
So, where was I. Oh yeah, waiting for a reasonable time and date to go see The Gourds.
Well, as you might have guessed, here it is: Monday, July 12, at the Waucoma Club.
The Waucoma Club, people. From my doorstep, that's closer than Edgefield.
And this time, not even the fact that it's a Monday will be an excuse. And as you'll read in the interview, Mondays are no excuse for the band, either.
See you there!
Kevin Russell of The Gourds was kind enough to take time out of their busy NW tour for an interview!

What Happened at Slate This Week?
Slate's business and technology editor shares her favorite reads of the week.
Hello Slate Plus members! I'm your Editor of the Week, tasked with curating the best and most interesting Slate output for your delectation, enjoyment, and opprobrium, or perhaps all three. As you are Slate mega-fans (we're grateful for your support!), there probably isn't much I can tell you about this past week in the magazine that you don't already know. But I'll give it my best shot.
First, a bit about me: I've been Slate's business and technology editor for one year this week, which means I've spent most of the last 12 months reading and editing pieces about things like burrito bonds and eating steak with Warren Buffett and the secret link between Facebook and the waffle taco. That random list may make me sound like the food editor, which I am not, but Slate business and economics staff writer Alison Griswold is so all over the fast-food industry beat that sometimes I feel that way.
In the last year I've also written for virtually every Slate department, on subjects including Woody Allen's creepiest fanboy, Instagram as an engine of self-loathing, the nightmare of Ikea delivery, and the mythological creature known as the Kindly Brontosaurus. Plus I'm something of a podcast utility player, guesting on the odd Spoiler Special or Audio Book Club or Culture Gabfest or, just yesterday, the Double X Gabfest, where I chatted with Outward editor June Thomas and New York editor Noreen Malone about Orange Is the New Black and Slender Man and dating tech guys and lots of other stuff. (Speaking of OITNB, if you've already binged all of Season 2, make sure to check out the Spoiler Special.) I work out of our ultra-collegial New York City bureau, which recently got a snazzy, kill-your-cubicle redesign and where actual verified food editor L.V. Anderson provides a steady supply of delicious snacks (this week: salty-chocolate-y granola!).
I would be remiss as a proud editor if a bunch of my favorites this week weren't articles I edited myself. Anyone who has ever drank a beer in the USA will find lots to ponder in Jim Saska's fantastic deep dive counting up all the ways America's booze laws are terrible—onerous, extortionate, corrupt, puritanical, nonsensical, take your pick. After California's teacher tenure laws were declared unconstitutional, senior business correspondent Jordan Weissmann plucked a telling passage out of the decision to reveal that this milestone ruling may have been largely based on a totally made-up statistic. And after a zillion other publications had claimed that the computer program "Eugene Groostman" had finally passed the fabled Turing test, Bitwise columnist David Auerbach patiently and lucidly explained why Eugene didn't come anywhere close to clearing Turing's bar—and why it matters.
Slate is not afraid to be service-y, and it was at readers' service with great gusto this week. As a champion movie-weepier, I was heartened by the passel of brave volunteers who tested which eye makeup stands the best chance of surviving a lachrymose viewing of The Fault in Our Stars. (Congratulations, Mac Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner!) As someone who gets super-into soccer every four years and then promptly forgets that the sport exists until the next World Cup, I felt grateful to the Slate sports braintrust for providing a guide to how to fake your way through the Brazilian edition. And as a non-millennial non-Kardashian who is nonetheless prone to "vocal fry," I was relieved to find out via Lexicon Valley that my creaking, cracking audio qualities won't hold me back in the workplace. (At least, not as far as I know. Ask David Plotz to be sure.)
What else was awesome on Slate this week? In our ongoing and unfailingly fascinating History of Innovation series, shepherded by Future Tense editor Torie Bosch, Katy Waldman looked at how the first dog-leash patent changed American dogdom forever. On Double X, Amanda Hess asked why it took so long for the WNBA to start recognizing its lesbian fan base and whether or not the female condom can ever catch on. Mark Joseph Stern made a compelling and important case that forensic science isn't really science at all—and may be responsible for imprisoning innocent people. Slate had excellent and fast-acting coverage of Eric Cantor's primary rout on Tuesday night, including John Dickerson's smart analysis of the signals sent to the GOP establishment by this shocking defeat. And Scott Huler implored us all to stop and take a breath before we unthinkingly post "mind-alteringly unmoored conspiracy videos" on Facebook—and in a gratifying twist, his eminently sensible post proved to be a huge hit on Facebook.
There's a chance that all of the above feels like too much for one weekend's reading agenda. If so, you could always just gaze meditatively at this photo of Nicolas Cage wearing a T-shirt of his own face.
Either way, thanks so much for joining Slate Plus—and let me know what I missed or got wrong in the comments.

Rated 5 out of 5 by nova from Perfect LBD! This dress is amazing. I'm 5'5, 98 lbs (32,22,33.5) and the XXS fit well, although it's a little large in the bust for me (nothing a tailor can't fix). It's not too tight and not too short, like many of bebe's dresses are. It's also very elegant. My new favorite dress for sure! Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Byorkey from Cute little black dress I go to a lot of banquets and lately a lot of weddings. I have large wardrobe of dresses and this one is by far my favorite! I just received this dress in the mail today and its adorable! This is my first time ordering from bebe and I read that their dresses run small and I usually buy small-medium but I measured myself by their charts and decided I was closer to a large. It fits a lil loose but still hugs the curves and I will be able to move freely. The only down fall is the top is too large and the see through fabric hangs down too low.... I would return becuz I'm. Sure from reading other reviews that a smaller size would be better but I think that I'm just gonna go get it tailored because I like it this much to return and risk a snugger fit in the waist. I'm 5'3" 135lbs. 38C top. Hope this helps anyone!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sheri36 from What a gorgeous dress! I bought this dress last week and wore it for a date night with my husband. Let's just say I had his full attention the whole night! lol I am normally a size S/XS; I am 5'5" and 118 lbs, but have a small bust (30B). I bought this dress in an XXS, as while it fit perfectly in the larger (XS, S) sizes in the hips, the mesh up top was baggy and far to big for me. The XXS is quite tight in the hips on me, but fits just about perfectly up top. This dress looks incredible on - you will not be disappointed!

Rated 4 out of 5 by mia8 from cute little black dress I ordered both a Medium and Large because I wanted to make sure I had a perfect fit. I am 5'7" and 135 lbs and the Medium fit perfectly, whereas the Large was way too big in the bust area (I normally wear 34B bra size, so if you are bigger busted, it might be a better fit). The dress is simple and classy and the fabric is of quality (lining is made of silk). The only caveat I would mention is the hook & eye that sits right on top of the zipper, is really hard to clasp, almost impossible. Would definitely recommend though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JeanneMarie56 from Sheer Perfection! I received this dress in the mail today and I can't tell you how excited I am about it! It is just amazing. The fit is perfect. The length is just right. It's classy and well made and I can't wait to wear it. I ordered a small and I am 5'7" tall, 115 lbs. I LOVE that the length isn't so terribly short. Many of Bebe's dresses I won't wear because the length is too short. This one is about 3 inches above the knee.... just like I like them. I highly recommend this dress. I think this one will be my "High School Reunion" dress! :)

Examples in PR69 condition can be challenging to find but enough examples are out there that they can be purchased inexpensively. In PR70DC condition they are very difficult to find and any example in this condition is mostly for the very serious collector as obtaining one will be very expensive do to their scarcity.

Indie albums that repeat ideas throughout
After giving the Port St Willow album a few spins recently i've realised quite a few of my favourite indie albums (whether 'concept' albums or not) repeat ideas and riffs throughout, and/or make references between songs. like:
The Antlers - Hospice
Neutral Milk Hotel - Aeroplane..
Lift To Experience - Texas Jerusalem Crossroads
Phosphorescent - Aw Come, Aw Wry
Funny that, isn't it? What are some other albums that do the same?
I'm gradually becoming a huge fan of repetition in music. I'm a huge fan of The Field and went to see Wooden Shjips last night and the metronomic basslines were hypnotic. I love how songs can grow slowly but surely with often only minimal sonic additions. Who's with me?
There's an early Apples In Stereo album which does this a lot
I forget which one. Manages to overdo it to the point of annoying in my opinion though. In general, I agree that this is a good thing.
Thermals - The Body, The Blood, The Machine
Took me way longer than it should have to notice that Returning To The Fold had the same chord progression as Pillar Of Salt.
delta mirror - machine that listened
every song is about a different room in a hospital. Really nice album. there's a free link on their facebook page to the remix version of the album as well, which is also great.
that sounds nice
the melody from the first track is ripped from final fantasy 8 tho
I really like this album
went completely unnoticed though
The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love
it plays like one long song, in some ways
The Black Heart Procession
Their entire career basically, but Amore Del Tropico in particular...
I'm gradually becoming a huge fan of repetition in music. I'm a huge fan of The Field and went to see Wooden Shjips last night and the metronomic basslines were hypnotic. I love how songs can grow slowly but surely with often only minimal sonic additions. Who's with me?JaguarPirate this'd this
- monoshono and JaguarPirate this'd this
- JaguarPirate this'd this
I can see how this isn't just another repetition thread
Now, Now's Threads comes back to 'sleep' repeatedly through the album, it seems to be a lot about heartbreak and the waking hours. Works quite well.
I was going to say this
and that Thread refrain that it opens with and brings back as a full song later.
Cool album.
Wild Beasts - Two Dancers
Pretty sure that Fun Powder Plot's riff or melody is repeated in the title track but in a subtly different way. It brings a real sense of cohesion to the album.
Yah there's a little melody at the end of FPP which turns out to be the main melody for Two Dancers 1 & 2
Love that.automatik this'd this
Oh do you want my bones between your teeth?
To be nitpicky, it's at the end of Hooting and Howling.
listening to a 13th Floor Elevators album
and they seem to have a new toy and just make this same sound over the top of every song. its quite a good sound, but still...
I think you are talking about the electric jug
Pretty vital to their sound, it gave their music that edge which made it great.matthewslaughter this'd this
- Severed799 and ma0sm this'd this
Mansun's "Attack of the Grey Lattern"...
...with a cast of characters (the stripper vicar, dark mavis, chad etc.) woven throughout the tracklisting.
How to dress well
Total Loss
The Hold Steady
On Separation Sunday/Boys and Girls. Gideon's got a pipe made from a Pringles can, etc.
came here to post this
The reference their own songs, albums, lyrics across all their records as well as recurring characters.
Another example across several albums
The Swish - 'Ginger and Jack and 4 or 5 Feminax'
Multitude Of Casualties - 'we mostly eat it in the back half of the theaters. We spent a few years nodding off in matinees. High as hell and shivering and smashed. We were hoping for an action adventure. something loud that we could feel thru all the feminax.'
Same Kooks - 'We slept it off in the matinees'
Sweet part of the city - 'We used to nod off in the matinees.'
The Glow, pt. 2
duuUUUUuuummmmmwonton, Severed799, and jwjp this'd this
This is a good topic, hope it doesn't get derailed
A disproportionately large number of my favourite albums employ this (The Glow pt.2, Hospice, Kaputt, Two Dancers, Black Sheep Boy). Good shout on listening to port st. willow, too.
I'd add An Album by Korallreven to this. It's slightly different to many mentioned above (it's essentially a Balearics pop album) but the repetition, alongside other factors, gives it a depth not commonly associated with the genre. Check it out if you haven't already.
will do
i'm not sure two dancers counts though, its really just one tacked on melody repeated later. hm..Severed799 this'd this
Not sure if this is the kind of thing you're after
But two Afghan Whigs albums (Gentlemen and Black Love) they repeat lyrics on the 1st and 4th track.
I'm gradually becoming a huge fan of repetition in music. I'm a huge fan of The Field and went to see Wooden Shjips last night and the metronomic basslines were hypnotic. I love how songs can grow slowly but surely with often only minimal sonic additions. Who's with me?
Olivia Tremor Control - Black Foliage
Has a loping theme which pops up between loads of songs and is mixed with various bits taken from other songs as well. Suits the psychedelic everything melting into everything else vibe.
The High Llamas - Gideon Gaye
Any tune with the word 'goat' in it, spelt forwards or backwards, is built on the same string section.
Track Goes By is wonderfully repetitive by itself, in the way that early Stereolab was also repetitive.
And then there are the characters in the lyrics - Little Collie, The Dutchman etc.
If you were being cruel you could say the repetition is padding, but I love this album.
Modest Mouse have done this
Heart Cooks Brain has the same shuffly rhythm as Out of Gas, and Lounge (Closing Time) paraphrases a lyric from the former song in its outro.
Also, the horns on Good News...
Good News also does it
with some Float On lyrics appearing in The World At Large, and the two songs use the same chords as well. Plus the reference to 'good news' Float On could be seen as a reference back to the album title and Bury Me With It's lyrics.
on a similar note
Has anyone else noticed the short bit from Dramamine that you can hear towards the end of Teeth Like God's Shoeshine?Icarus-Smicarus this'd this
I have been listening to those songs since I was 14. I'm 23 now. I've never noticed that.
I kinda feel uncomfortable.
Summer is basically Lounge (Closing Time)
The Fall - Your Future Our Clutter
is littered with lyrical refrains from one song popping up in another song, or the titles of some songs on the album being mentioned in other songs. Plus the overall theme of hospitalisation/mortality throughout.
I think I Am Kurious Oranj has some lyrical stuff repeated throughout as well and is generaly based on the same topic
seeing as it was the soundtrack to a ballet.
Rilo Kiley's The Execution of All Things sprung to mind
From Wikipedia:
The album is also strung together by a song that is broken into pieces and that trails between several tracks. Called "And That's How I Choose to Remember It", it tells the story of Lewis' childhood and her parents' divorce. This theme is visited throughout the album, which is lyrically filled with childhood recollections of loss, displacement, anger and hopelessness.
Hamell On Trial - Choochtown
features a revolving cast of New York lowlifes who appear from song to song and is undoubtedly the best album you've never heard by a bald past-it razorsharp-witted pal-of-Bill-Hicks Brooklynite with a beat-up acoustic guitar and a punk rock attitude. Look, Dis even reviewed it back in the day
I heard some tracks from this before a Trail of Dead gig back in 2002, with no idea of who it was,
and I've been casually looking for it ever since! Incredible.
Engineers' first album
The riff from the end of 'Forgiveness' gets recycled in the last track, but sounds infinitely larger.
I think Cursive also repeat a line from an earlier track at the end of The Ugly Organ, too.
Christopher Owens - Lysandre
His lovely solo LP from earlier this year is a bunch of songs written during the first Girls tour, telling the story of the tour, and a love affair which began and ended during it.
It has a little 15sec 'theme' which bookends each track, with all the songs in the same key, telling the story of this tour rather nicely over half an hour.
Perhaps a little OVER-reliant on recurring motifs/ideas if anything, but I'm nonetheless completely taken in by its charm, and still listen to it frequently.ma0sm and sunstroke_house this'd this
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
Tells a story through its lyrics involving love and the protagonists search for the Innisfree first written about by WB Yeats. There are other themes such as those of wealth and freedom mentioned on "Montezuma" and "Helplessness Blues" too. Really brilliant album.
The Twilight Sad - No One Can Ever Know
Features a few repeated lyrical refrains across the songs. They tie the album together very well.

I'm gradually becoming a huge fan of repetition in music. I'm a huge fan of The Field and went to see Wooden Shjips last night and the metronomic basslines were hypnotic. I love how songs can grow slowly but surely with often only minimal sonic additions. Who's with me?

SACRAMENTO — A federal judge Friday rejected Gov. Jerry Brown's claim that California has improved its mental healthcare for inmates enough to end 17 years of court oversight, a victory for prisoners' lawyers who say they will use it to seek further sanctions against the state.
U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton's 68-page decision is a blow to Brown's larger ambition to halt court control of California's entire prison medical program and to remove court limits on the prison population. Courts have cited overcrowding as the main reason the state has failed to provide basic medical and mental healthcare.
Brown has vowed to take his case for restoring state control to the same U.S. Supreme Court that less than two years ago said California prison conditions amounted to cruel and unusual punishment.
A spokeswoman for Brown's corrections department called Friday's ruling "unfortunate," saying it failed to give appropriate weight to the state's paid experts, who said adequate improvements had been made in housing and treating mentally ill prisoners.

Note that this does not work if there is any foe onscreen, regardless of where onscreen the foe is. This means that a foe attacking from behind can clip through you and disable your ability to quickly turn to face them. It also means that a foe peeking into the corner of your view prevents you from quickly turning to face it or any of the predators behind you. Given how unwieldy turning around with the "Fearmaster" proves to be, this is a terrible design choice.
Is the game better when simply played with a controller? Sadly, yes. The controls for the "Fearmaster" aren't where they need to be to make it a viable method of play. Without the novelty of the plastic gun, though, Dangerous Hunts 2013 is just a subpar, linear shooter with animals instead of human targets. It's one-note and mind-numbing.
In an odd twist, though, the story is actually better than in most big-budget gaming productions. It has a measure of heart, decent voice acting, and a message that runs deeper than "killing things is the tops." It's unfortunate that the gameplay it's paired with is so aggressively unsatisfying.
There's also a "Maneater" mode. It supports split-screen co-op and is, in essence, Horde mode with predators. Oh, and there are shooting galleries, which are probably the game's greatest appeal, if only because they take the onus of movement off of the player and are actually fun score challenges. Neither is enough, though, to overcome the bitter taste of the game's painfully low production values, unsatisfying action, and outright confusing controls.
Note: The heart-rate sensing of the Top Shot "Fearmaster" is exclusive to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.

Wrapping up a weekend of derby action in The City of Roses, Vancouver Whitecaps FC reserves (2W-1L-1D) earned their second MLS Reserve League win of the season with a 2-1 away victory over Pacific Northwest rivals Portland Timbers reserves (2W-2L-0D) on Sunday afternoon.
First-half goals by Floyd Franks and Darren Mattocks gave the 'Caps second string all three points in front of 5,218 at JELD-WEN Field in Portland, Oregon, with Vancouver making it a second 2-1 result on the road in the Reserve League this season. Though Andrew Jean-Baptiste replied in the second half for the Timbers reserves, Vancouver held on for a win that takes them top of the Reserve League's West Division standings.
Led by Whitecaps FC assistant coach Carl Robinson, Vancouver made the most of a fine first-half display, as they scored both of their goals to secure the win. The Blue and White had Timbers reserves goalkeeper Joe Bendik making saves from Etienne Barbara and a Michael Nanchoff free kick in the first quarter of an hour.
The game's opening goal came on 18 minutes, as the 'Caps reserves fashioned a fine attacking move. Nanchoff found Russell Teibert streaking down the left flank with a searching ball. The Canadian youth international then struck a first-time byline cross to Franks, who headed home with aplomb for his first Reserve League goal of the season.
Vancouver then extended their lead on 28 minutes through Saturday night hero Mattocks. Less than 24 hours after scoring his first Major League Soccer goal to earn the Whitecaps FC first team a 1-1 draw in Portland, the Jamaican youngster registered his first-ever Reserve League goal after getting on the end of Nanchoff's forward ball. Using his speed, Mattocks rounded Jean-Baptiste before slotting the match winner past Bendik to make it 2-0 to Whitecaps FC reserves at halftime.
'Caps reserves goalkeeper Brad Knighton played his part in Sunday's win, making good saves from a Franck Songo'o free kick just before the break and Freddie Braun at point-blank range on the hour mark. His counterpart Bendik was also busy in the second half, as he did well to deny Mattocks a second goal of the game, while Vancouver substitute Long Tan was unlucky to hit the side-netting with a close-range opportunity on 64 minutes.
Portland's second string found their way back into the match in the late stages, having been spurred on by a goal from Jean-Baptiste on 70 minutes. The Timbers reserves defender was left unmarked in the 'Caps box to head home Songo'o's bouncing corner past Knighton for 2-1. It prompted the home side to push for an equalizer, but Knighton was equal to the Oregon outfit's efforts, as he made a very good stop from Lovel Palmer on 85 minutes.
More than four minutes of stoppage time were played before the final whistle confirmed a well-deserved away win for the 'Caps reserves, who avenged a 3-0 defeat at home to the Timbers reserves on April 22.
Whitecaps FC reserves are back in Reserve League action on Friday night, as they travel to Tukwila, Washington, to take on Seattle Sounders FC reserves at the Starfire Sports Complex. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. PT. The 'Caps second string also have three more home matches remaining this season. All three matches will be held at Thunderbird Stadium on the campus of the University of British Columbia: Tuesday, June 12, against LA Galaxy reserves; Monday, July 23, against Chivas USA reserves; and Monday, September 10, against San Jose Earthquakes reserves. Kickoff for all three matches is set for 11 a.m. PT.

U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney declined Thursday to support giving U.S. Rep. John Boehner a second term as House speaker, joining 11 other Republican lawmakers who protested the Ohioan's leadership.
On the first day of the new two-year session of Congress, Boehner was re-elected speaker with 220 votes, all Republican.
Mulvaney, however, waged a silent protest that lit up the Internet as reporters and political junkies around the country watched the proceedings live at the U.S. Capitol and broadcast on C-SPAN.
Nine Republican lawmakers voted for someone other than Boehner, three of them backing his deputy, Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia.
Mulvaney, by contrast, declined to vote for anyone despite being present in the House chamber. Raul Labrador of Idaho, like Mulvaney a tea party favorite who first gained election in 2010, chose the same tactic.
On his way into the House chamber, Mulvaney signaled that Boehner might face a rocky ride to re-election as speaker, urging reporters to "bring your calculator" and telling them the vote "should be interesting."
With the tally underway after Mulvaney was sworn into his second House term, the Indian Land Republican left the chamber minutes before his turn to vote so that he wasn't in the hall when his name was called.
As the voting continued, Mulvaney re-entered the chamber. When his name was called again, he chose not to respond.
Mulvaney, who represents South Carolina's 5th Congressional District, later declined to respond to subsequent requests for comment from reporters.
"Mick won't be available to speak," his press secretary, Stephanie Faile, told McClatchy. "He is spending the rest of the day with his family."
Mulvaney has been critical of Boehner in recent weeks.
Mulvaney was among dozens of House Republicans who last month forced Boehner to pull from the floor his "Plan B" to avert the fiscal cliff, which would have increased taxes on annual household income over $1 million.
When Boehner and other congressional leaders subsequently negotiated a fiscal-cliff deal with President Barack Obama to raises taxes on annual household income over $450,000, Congress passed the package, but Mulvaney was among 151 House Republicans who voted against it Tuesday.
Mulvaney said Wednesday he was "deeply disappointed" by the deal, which did not include spending cuts.
"This is wrong," he said. "It has to stop. We are spending ourselves into national decline. We had a chance last night to stop that, even if just for a bit. We failed. And by doing so, we failed the country."
During the vote for House speaker, Mulvaney's actions and movements were watched closely and reported almost instantaneously.
Scott McFarlane of Cox Media Group tweeted: "Mick Mulvaney (R-SC) steps out of chamber moments before his name is called to vote. No vote."
Robert Costa of the National Review followed with his own tweet: "Mulvaney did not vote, off the House floor."
Derek Willis, interactive news director for the New York Times, weighed in with his own tweet: "Mick Mulvaney takes a pass on Speaker vote."

I know for a long time PSP had trouble with developers because people can pirate so easily. And one of the reasons why I detest pirating PSP games, as it results in less games being made. But "majority" of PSP owners is a very high and seemingly unrealistic number.

Indeed considering that many people here are suggesting the OP to buy a PSP2000 i'm really not surprised that the PSP3000 didn't sell that good so far, the only major difference between the two is that the PSP3000 is harder to hack, why would one prefer it?
Your claim that it is only because of pirated game needs more support. I actually claim that if it wasn't for Dark Alex the whole PSP sales would have been 75% of what they are now or even lower. At least about myself i'm definitely sure i wouldn't have bought a PSP but a GP2X instead.

Now, if 50% or more of those modded PSP ownders actually buy some stuffs, I don't see Sony's Sales Rep actually making that kind of comment as with the case of PS1 and PS2.
One can argue about the lack of quality software on the platform, but let just see if Dissidia actually makes waves later this year as it should.

I'm not going to lie... I see the PSP going the same direction the Dreamcast was headed. Both are systems that can be easily be 'modded' by anyone with an internet connection, using only the tools/hardware most people currently have. As such, piracy is rampant with these systems, in comparison to other systems of its time.
Of course, I'm not also going to lie in that I really do think the reason for the PSP not having as much games is not mainly because of piracy, but because the year after year of ass kicking its gotten from the DS is finally catching up to it. And unlike the Wii, the DS is as catered (if not more) to the gamer audience as the PSP is, thus there's really very little incentive to make games for the PSP on top of the piracy problem.
In that way, I really do think that the PSP to the DS is more like the Game Gear was to the Game Boy, rather than its like the Dreamcast was to the PSX/N64.

"just about ready to jump off the cliff and pull support for the platform," some of which may be chalked up to massive amounts of PSP software piracy.
Notice the use of "some". There are other factors. And although I'm no insider, I'd assume that the biggest factor is DS kicking PSP's ass in terms of sales.
"piracy has taken out a big chunk of our software sales on PSP"
Doesn't really say anything, besides that there are pirates. "Big chunk" does not denote "majority". It doesn't even mean "a lot" depending on who's saying it.
"We can look at data from BitTorrent sites from the day Resistance: Retribution goes on sale and see how many copies are being downloaded illegally, and it's frankly sickening.
Well, I'm sure Nintendo execs would find the number of people downloading Zelda games illegally also sickening. As would Microsoft in regards to Halo games.

This is a joke isn't it?
Playing ripped games on the DS is a lot easier than playing them on a PSP. If piracy was really the reason behind the failure of a console system then the DS would be the first to suffer from it.
Ah and between Saturn N64 and PSX is it there any doubt about which console system was the most modded to play pirated games?
Now if we were talking about games i could understand, but correlation between piracy and a console success? I would say that there is a positive correlation rather than a negative.

For the DS, you have to buy the special cart, which costs a hefty sum (last time I checked, ~150 bucks) PLUS you have to buy the memstick for it. Not to mention the trouble of actually finding someone that sells it... it being illegal and all, it actually takes some work to find it.
For the PSP, you already have a memstick anyways, since its required to save games. There's no 'added expenditure' for it. This in turn means that the availability is much higher than the DS, as someone could just go to the net to CFW up their PSP. And within 15 minutes to an hour (depending on how tech savvy the person is), they have CFW already.
And really, its not the amount of pirating that goes on with the system that matters, but the percentage of those console owners who actually pirates their games for the system. Popular systems with popular games will always get pirated more than the unpopular ones, after all.
For example, say system A has a 10 mil worldwide user base, and around 2 mil pirates their games. Now system B has a 2 mil worlwide user base, but 1.5 mil pirates their games. Who do you think is better off?
While the numbers aren't that extreme, the DS falls more to the former category while the PSP (like the dreamcast) falls to the latter. Well, that's the general trend in my area anyways.

Granted, last time I checked was a year or so ago. My friend got an R4 from a dealer at ~150 bucks, and he was that desperate because he doesn't trust the net (especially with this kind of dealings) and that every other person he knew that sold it currently didn't have it in stock then. It dind't even come with an SD card lol.
But as with other technologies, I'm not too surprised at the price drop, as year is very long in terms of technology time.

I don't think you understand the trouble needed to instal a CW on the PSP.
for DS you just need to "buy" something that is easily available on the net. That's it. once you have that thing you don't need to do anything else.
for PSP if you don't have a friend with an already modded PSP good luck to you, it took me a week of study before i could figure it out how to do it. and i had to buy a pandora battery, so it's not as free as you may think. Finding the right files and guides to format your mem stick is no easy thing, and after that you need to upgrade the firmware to the latest version.
Now to clarify things i said easier. The cost is really not that relevant, considering that who plans to get free games is planning to spend less money in the long term.

Here's an example. In mainland China(excluding Taiwan/HK), PSP outsells NDS. Usually the seller immediately hack the system with CFW for the buyer upon transaction. And pretty much no one actually buys games. Now this makes sense. After all, pirating should help generate console sales. Who doesn't like free games? Especially in a culture that has no moral dilemma with regards to piracy.
Of course, in the defense of Chinese gamers, this is due to lack of affordability(a $40 PSP game is the equivalent of 1-2 weeks of salary for regular adults).
That's why I'm very leery of the idea that PSP piracy kills the US market. Because the console sales are just way too abysmal for me to believe that. I'm mostly just annoyed at how badly Sony marketed and supported the console. Allowing DS to dominate the market. Because I truly love the system itself, which I feel is just amazing. Now if only there were more games for it...

Developement cost for DS software is cheap and yean high returns. You just need to see the amount of Shovelware on the DS like the Imagine series. So i doubt anybody will complain since the profit margin is high.
Now software development cost for the PSP can run up till as high as one for a console if some decent amount of profit is expected. And I doubt the majority of the masses will want to foot out a console-priced handheld software if it's nothing exceptional, so the developer need to work on a thin profit margin. Factored in the usual shit like lack of hype, piracy, negative review, etc....You can basically see why 3rd party developers actually hesitated on the PSP for the DS.
The only thing that the PSP is in need for the US market is a monster hit like Monster Hunter for Japanese Market or DJ MAX for Korean Market.

Then there's the fact that surplus amount of software from the American and Europe Market tends to be exported to other regions by independent exporters, especially South East Asian Region where the potential market is larger than Europe or America. (Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philipines etc)
Now I believe that the Sales Departement are very aware of the few things I've mentioned and thus they are looking at the bigger picture of English literate Market instead of just America or Europe. Of course, we all know where the major problem of those market lies.

Really, you're underestimating the value of cost to the pirater, since its these people whose line of thinking is NOT lowering costs over the long run, but whose line of thinking is more towards getting things as free as possible at every opportunity.
As such, I really don't agree with the notion that the DS has a higher piracy rate than the PSP. At least it isn't the case in my area, and I pretty much listed the reasons why. And judging by how it looks like in China, I don't think my area is an isolated case.
But try convincing a developer that high piracy rate on a console is a 'good thing'. And the more developers that gets scared of making games for a particular console, the sooner the death of that console. A consoles overall health is not just the console sales alone, but also its software sales. After all, a console can't be considered to still be alive if there's nothing at all to pirate lol.

No, you see the DS is actually suffering harder than the PSP in terms of the number of pirates. Its just that the DS has the special Non-gamer/ ignorant audience who buys shovelware and compensate for those that do download games illegally.
The PSP only appeals to the hardcore market and people in this group are unlikely to fall into the "ignorant" group and buy shovelware.
This is why developers complain about the PSP and prefer the DS, because they can't produce Petz: groom your own penis! series and reach platinum sales.

Wow, gone a few days and, lol.............I find the current topic quite interesting though.
Well after (a lot of) thought, I decided to buy a brand-spanking new 3k PSP model back on Monday. (I've been busy having fun with the features and Crisis Core til today ) I did find a few PSP 2ks......none in a condition for which I would pay 150 for, though when I could have a fresh one for 20 more. (screen scatches, some damage, and general "ew"s) I also figured that they'd if I ever weanted to try homebrew, they'd eventually get the 3k hacked anyway, and lo and behold

George Balanchine once said that during his grueling years as a pupil in the Imperial St. Petersburg Theatrical School, he didn't fall in love with ballet until he was twelve. The change occurred the first time he appeared onstage in Marius Petipa's Sleeping Beauty, set to Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky's ravishing score, and young Georgi Melitonovitch was cast as a Cupid. His arrows, so to speak, … [Read more...]

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 3, 2006) -- With a two-game winning streak on the books, the ETSU men's basketball team will look to keep rolling as the Buccaneers return to Atlantic Sun Conference play Wednesday night, hosting Florida Atlantic at Memorial Center beginning at 7 p.m.
The Bucs will welcome an Owls team coached by former UNC head coach Matt Dougherty. It will be the first-ever meeting between the two programs, but it will be an important one, as the Bucs look to break through with their first A-Sun win against an FAU team that is currently a perfect 3-0 in league play. It will be the first of 18 straight A-Sun games for the Bucs.
For more information on the game, click on the game notes link located above. The contest will be aired on radio by the Mountain States Health Alliance Buccaneer Sports Network, and fans can watch the game replay next Wednesday night at 9 p.m. on Charter Channel 13 or Comcast Channel 14.

A major aspect of BioTrust's mission is to work with top-rated charities by donating a significant portion of every dollar we earn to help supply nutritious food, clean water, and improved medical services to families in need, both domestically and abroad.
It's good folks like you who encourage us and help us realize this goal. These charitable efforts are done in your name and could not be accomplished without your unyielding support.
We teamed up with Make-A-Wish® to grant the wish of a brave 11-year-old girl named Jennifer, who suffers from a rare, life-threatening form of bone cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma.
Jennifer's one heartfelt wish was to take her family to her favorite Florida theme park for her Spring Break. In your honor, and because of your support of our company, Team BioTrust was able to make this heartfelt wish a reality.
My wife Amie and I had the opportunity to attend and meet Jennifer and her wonderful family. We want to share some details of our visit and about this amazing little girl because you played a major role in granting her wish.
As a Wish Kid, Jennifer could literally "pick" anything that she wanted. However, she chose the trip because she wanted to share this "gift" with her entire family. Her "wish" was to give back to her family because they have given her so much love and support. This thoughtfulness and superfluity of love does not even begin to paint the picture of this amazing little girl.
Jennifer's father Javier — a remarkable and humble man — spent a couple hours with us sharing stories about his inspiring daughter. He recounted several stories when Jennifer was in the hospital and how she helped other children with cancer and parents whose children were sick.
After visiting with a mother whose baby was in ICU, Jennifer wrote her a letter to affirm that her child would be okay and gave the woman her phone number so she could call at any time. The mother called Jennifer one evening at home scared and crying, as her infant was desperately ill. Jennifer offered her a calming sense of love and support and reassured her that everything would be okay.
A 13-year old boy, who was in the hospital at the same time as Jennifer, was very depressed and scared about his battle with cancer. He wouldn't participate in activities with the other children, and Jennifer noticed this. She came to his bedside and said, "I'm a girl, and I don't have my hair. I'm not scared, and you shouldn't be either. It's going to be okay. We're all here for each other."
Jennifer even made her parents make her two promises when she first learned of her diagnosis. First, she made them promise that they would be the same family as they were before. They wouldn't treat her any differently, and they would love her twin sister, Jessica, and older brother, Javier III, exactly the same — no special treatment for her. Secondly, she made them promise they would be strong and wouldn't cry. As long as they remained brave, so would she.
It is incredibly difficult to put into words Jennifer's unselfishness and love. She is truly a precious angel, and everyone's life that she touches will be for the better. She has a gift from God, and she wants to share it with everyone. She is 11 years old, yet she has the heart and uncanny intuition of a saint.
To be completely honest, we are the real winners in sponsoring Jennifer. We are better people for knowing her and her story. Just seeing her genuine and loving smile is enough to wipe away every last worry and solidify the belief that the world is indeed a good place.
With Compassion,
Tim Skwiat

D-backs take down Lady Broncos 68-55
POCATELLO — Two words describe the Blackfoot Lady Broncos 68-55 loss to the top ranked team in 4A the Century Diamondbacks.
Those words, foul trouble.
From the opening tip the Lady Broncos struggled defending the paint and dealing the with Diamondbacks 6-foot-2 post Henny Hearn.
Just like the meeting in Blackfoot two weeks ago Hearn dominated the post putting all of the Broncos post players in foul trouble.
But Hearn was not the only aggressive one for the Diamondbacks on the night, six different Diamondbacks had at lead one free throw attempt in the game.
"That big there (Hearn) we had just no answer for her," Blackfoot head coach Merle Smith said. "We could not push her, we were doing those things to her but it was not working and all three of our bigs had a foul on them. Without them on the floor we have to back off and not play our pressure defense."
Despite the foul trouble the Broncos only trailed 29-22 at halftime.
The turning point in the game was the opening four minutes of the third quarter.
Century came out aggressive and went on a 13-4 run sparked by six points from Sarah Holt and capped off with a layup from Hearn.
The seven-point halftime deficit quickly ballooned to 16. The deficit swelled to as much as 20 midway through the final quarter.
With some starters in foul trouble, Smith had to go to his bench and get some minutes from some sparing;y used players. each of those players contributed.
Kelsey Baguely contributed a basket and couple of big blocks and freshman Anicia Luna got some valuable minutes allowing some of the starters a bit of a rest.
"While the result was not what we wanted, we got some very valuable minutes for some kids," Smith said. "Anicia Luna played a quarter and a half, Kelsey Baguley played well on defense and helped out, we are starting to see some contributions from bench and that is something we really need going forward."
Blackfoot began to press late in the fourth quarter allowing Cassandra Clarke and Morningrose Tobey to more active driving to the basket.
Tobey scored a game-high 21 points, Clarke added 19. But in the end Holts's 20 and Hearn's 19 were too tough to overcome.
"We are moving in the right direction," Smith said. "We have three big games still to go and we are close to taking that number two seed."

Do you need to install new ati drivers if I switch the CPU/mobo? Or is it saved to the ssd...
Usually a clean install is recommend when switching Mobo
Switching CPU not an issue but Mobo would require different drivers, could cause more issues.
GPU can switch them out like HDD and driver uninstall/reinstiall without problems
I thought my drivers were running like arse when I added AA.
Glad this is out.
50% is a massive difference.
