Easton Raw Power L6.0 End Loaded 1 Piece Composite ASA Slowpitch Softball Bat
The Easton Raw Power slow pitch softball bat lineup is the most complete softball bat offering ever seen. Raw Power softball bats come in ASA, composite/aluminum, balanced and end loaded.
The Easton L6.0 softball bat is a one piece, end loaded, 100% composite ASA softball bat. Let's dig deeper... The one piece design will let you feel more of the contact with the softball when you hit it. This is supposed to allow you to feel and control your swing to a greater degree than a two-piece bat. Similar to the Easton Salvo, the L6.0 Raw Power is end loaded, adding mass to the end of the barrel, and gives you more potential energy getting to the softball than a balanced bat, if you are strong enough to swing the end loaded model. The Easton 6.0 is approved for play in ASA, which recently loosened their bat standards to be closer to the USSSA 1.20 bat standard. The new ASA bats are hotter, and the 6.0 Raw Power is no exception.
Construction: One-piece, all IMX composite carbon fiber. Easton IMX composite is not their newest carbon fiber, but it is one of their best. Don't let the low price fool you, the IMX composite handle may allow a teeny bit more vibration to reach your hands, but the IMX is a tried and true material for making bats. Remember the incredible, best selling, Easton Salvo? That was IMX composite and so is the Easton L6. This is the best bang for you buck of all the Easton softball bats this year.

The Penn State Flute Choir presents a unique opportunity for students to learn basic to advanced chamber music skills. The ensemble is open to majors, minors and non-majors alike, and enrollment is by audition with the instructor. It rehearses weekly and offers one concert each semester.
The choir's repertoire ranges from original works to transcriptions of classical standards. The students perform with and without a conductor, and spend time working on cues, blend, intonation, musicality, playing solos and accompaniments, and working with others in a fun and challenging environment. Students are also encouraged to become acquainted with the auxiliary instruments of the flute family.
In summer 2013, the Flute Choir was invited to perform at the National Flute Association convention in New Orleans. During their performance, they premiered a new work titled Flauto Zydeco by Penn State faculty member Mark Ballora.

Pop star Ashlee Simpson has sparked rumors of a blossoming new romance with Diana Ross' son Evan after they were snapped holding hands in Los Angeles.
Simpson, who divorced rocker Pete Wentz in 2011, was spotted leaving Teddy's at the Roosevelt Hotel with Evan Ross in the early hours of Tuesday.
In photographs obtained by x17online.com, Simpson is featured rocking a floral maxi dress and a shy smile as she hops into the back seat of a waiting car with the 24 year old.
The singer split from "Boardwalk Empire" star Vincent Piazza in November, while musician/actor Ross has previously been linked to Rita Ora and model Cora Skinner.

Every year around the same time something magical happens in Houston. It's a time to come together and celebrate what we've been able to accomplish in a year and what we have planned for next year. It is also a time to hawk your company's wares, to wine and dine potential customers, and to show how your company out shines all the others. What is this event? Is it Christmas, Valentines' Day, or Guy Fawkes Day? Nope, it's the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC).
|photo credit: mikebaird
The OTC (not to be confused with the OC) is one of the 200 largest trade shows in the nation. This year it was held from May 1 through May 5. It consists mainly of companies that make things or provide services for the offshore oil and gas industry. It brings an extra 50,000 plus people to Houston each year (people living out toward Reliant Stadium do not look forward to this). This includes everything from oil rigs, engines, life boats, shoes, and rooms (yes you can take a look at perform room). When most people think of the offshore oil and gas industry they just think about the rigs, they don't think about all the different services and products that are going on behind the scenes. For example: shoes. People working rigs in the Gulf need shoes. Should they just bring there own? Should the company they work for provide them with shoes that are kept to a certain design and safety standard? And where will the people on the rig live? What type of recreation should they have on the rig? How will the rig data be stored or transferred? How tough do monitors have to be? Should they be touch sensitive? As you can see, there are a lot of products and services most people never think about (I even got to see some solar powered warning lights).
Each booth tries to out do the others. There are models of ships and rigs, cheerleaders, 3D TVs, large konect like toy rollercoaster. "There was much of the beautiful, much of the wanton, much of the bizarre, something of the terrible" (Poe's Masquerade of Red Death). Although my favorite part each year is the swag. Swag stands for the stuff we all get. The highlight of any conference is the random stuff you walk away with. And since each different company is trying to tempt you away from all the others, it can be an ADDOS's person dream (Attention Deficit Dis… Oh shiny). Some of the highlights I've had throughout the years include a ball made of interlocking pieces that fold out and flip sides when tossed in the air, a list of all U.S. navy vessels, a combo flashlight, tape measure, screwdriver, and leveler, and, this year, two pieces of curved paper that create an optical illusion. Most of the swag I collect will eventually be given away to friends, family, and passerby's.
There is more to OTC then just cool cutting edge technology and free stuff. If you're a veteran you have figured out a way to live off the land. Most booths will have a bowl of candy to hand out to people. Others have water and other libations. In the morning some have pastries (one booth this year had freshly baked cookies). Around lunch time, the larger and fancier booths put out lunches. You could grab a ham and cheese sandwich or try to hunt down the stir-fry. You could go an entire week without buying food.

Now there are a few people (50,000) who do go there for other reasons. Each day there is a bewildering array of classes and papers on talks about all the latest and greatest in technology, procedure, science, and law. Attendees go to learn. I picked up several interesting periodicals talking about the new large fields off the coast of Israel and Brazil and all the challenges of bringing them online.
There is also a teacher and student workshop. The workshops are put on by the wonderful people at the National Energy Education Development Project (if you've been keeping up with the blog, they will sound familiar).
All in all, the OTC is an experience right up there with Disneyworld and the AAM annual meeting. For people in the industry it is a must. And for those not in the industry it is a chance, like Jane Goodall in Africa, to observe a unique industry in its natural habitat.

Sunday Morning
For a lazy Sunday treat, I made
Ina Garten's Baked Blintzes with Fresh Blueberry Sauce. Easy and delicious!
Here's is the recipe:
For the batter:
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 extra-large eggs
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
For the filling:
- 3 cups (24 ounces) ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 2 extra-large eggs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh Blueberry Sauce (recipe follows)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 by 13-inch cake pan or baking dish.
For the batter, place all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and blend until smooth. (You can also use a blender.) Pour half the batter (about 1 3/4 cups) into the prepared dish and bake for 10 minutes, until set.
Meanwhile, for the filling, whisk together the ricotta, mascarpone, eggs, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt and mix until thoroughly combined. Spread the cheese filling over the baked pancake. Carefully spoon the remaining pancake batter to cover the cheese.
Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the filling is almost set. Remove from the oven and allow to stand 10 to 15 minutes. Cut the blintzes in squares and serve warm with the fresh blueberry sauce.
Fresh Blueberry Sauce:
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (3 oranges)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 half-pints fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Combine the orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. When the mixture is translucent and thickened, stir in the blueberries and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, just until a few berries have burst but most are still whole. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice and cool. Yield: Makes 2 cups.

Burbank-based Trekkers mostly missed out on a great afternoon event this past Sunday, as Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry, son of "Star Trek" creator Gene, screened his documentary "Trek Nation" at the Burbank Film Festival to a sparsely populated Fletcher Auditorium in Woodbury University's Business School.
Still, the crowd of approximately 20 clapped loudly enough to make Roddenberry — along his with special-guests, "Star Trek: Voyager" costars Tim Russ and Robert Picardo — feel welcome.
Also in attendance: Tory Ireland Mell, writer-producer of the innovative, Roddenberry-produced short "White Room: 02B3," which screened prior to "Trek Nation." In it, six strangers (most recognizably Breckin Meyer and Rachel True) awaken in the eponymous location, with no memories and a loaded gun ready for use. It's the format that has people talking, though: shot with a 360-degree camera in the center of the room, it will be made available online in a format that gives the viewer the option of moving the viewer's POV anywhere in the room, effectively making you the film's real-time editor.
As for "Trek Nation" (directed by Scott Colthorp; executive-produced by and starring Roddenberry), it began production over a decade ago and spans many years. Perhaps fans didn't turn out because there are already so many "Star Trek" docs out there, from both "Trekkies" movies — which Roddenberry characterizes as "Look at all these nut jobs" — to the somewhat self-indulgent convention travelogues William Shatner constantly cranks out.
Indeed, some of what's here is stuff that fans have heard before, like Nichelle Nichols' oft-retold account of how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told her why she couldn't quit the show. Yet there were also things never shown publicly until now, among them home movies of young Rod from innocent infancy to rebellious teenhood, and an exclusive interview with George Lucas on the similarities and differences with that other space franchise, and particularly its father-son issues.
Gene died when Rod was 17 and hadn't yet learned to appreciate dad's work; the documentary is his public attempt to gain that knowledge through interacting with the fans.
Roddenberry says he wasn't disappointed with the low turnout, telling us, "Documentaries are hard films to watch. I would've loved more people there, but I can find many reasons why they weren't."
But he does sound frustrated that the movie's initial release was barely seen, on Science Channel last November. As such, he's hosting showings at "every convention that will accept a screening of it," and sells a bare-bones DVD version on Roddenberry.com, though he hopes to have a deluxe edition available in the future, with the full George Lucas interview and other deleted scenes.
He's not sure, however, whether or not to include some of the most personal stuff, from an early cut he jokingly calls "I Think My Daddy Loved Me." In particular, there was a moment in which Wil Wheaton reveals that, during the filming of the Next Generation episode where Wesley Crusher gets promoted, Gene "stopped production, which cost a fortune to do, and came on-set and gave his ensign bars from World War II to Wil Wheaton ... I thought the relationship was just friends, but this really took it to a whole new level. There was a tremendous amount of jealousy. Years later, at my father's induction into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Wil presented me with those bars."
But as the movie documents, Rod Roddenberry, like Chris Pine's Kirk at the end of the last movie, is at peace with his father's legacy today. Regarding the fans versus the immediate family, he's philosophical.
"Yes, my father did have these two families," he says, "but I've got 10 million brothers and sisters out there."
Rod's latest project is a podcast called "The Mission Log," in which hosts John Champion and Ken Ray will analyze every Star Trek episode from every show, one by one. "Some people may turn their nose up at and scoff at [that], but it is something I've wanted to do forever."
Judging by last week's event, they should get Picardo as a guest — his quips, from referring to different alien races as "the forehead of the week" and saying of John de Lancie (who played Q), "No other actor has taken 12 guest appearances and turned it into a cottage industry" — had the small but devoted audience in Burbank in stitches. Especially when he brought up the one week in which the alien race appeared to all the cast to have genitalia on their heads.
Unfortunately for "Voyager" fans, there was no news about a future for those characters. Picardo suggested the fans should produce a "Voyager" movie themselves, while Russ noted that if anything were to happen, "the fans would know before we would, honestly."
L.THOMPSON is a local writer on movies.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution has loaned four players to the Rochester Rhinos, the team's USL PRO affiliate, for the 2013 USL PRO season. Defender Bilal Duckett, forward Matt Horth, midfielder Gabe Latigue and defender Tyler Polak will join the Rhinos this week ahead of the team's season opener on April 13 at VSI Tampa Bay FC. The Revolution has the option to recall any of the players at any time during the loan period.
"Bilal, Matt, Gabe and Tyler are young players who should benefit from consistent playing time," Revolution General Manager Michael Burns said. "We have a very deep roster this year, and having these four players get time in Rochester will benefit their professional development, as well as our club's depth."
The Revolution and Rhinos announced their affiliation on Jan. 28, allowing the Revs to send players to Rochester to train and play with the USL team for extended periods of time. With the agreement in place, the Revolution will not field a reserve team in 2013, instead sending reserve players to Rochester in an effort to get those players consistent, meaningful playing time.
The Rochester Rhinos are coached by Jesse Myers, who spent several days in Tucson, Ariz., with the Revolution to observe the Revs' roster and training sessions. The Rochester Rhinos were founded in 1996, and have appeared in eight USL PRO finals and have four championships, including the 1999 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and three A-League Championships (1998, 2000, 2001).
Duckett, 24, signed with the Revolution on Feb. 11, 2013, after extended trials with the club last fall and this spring. He has yet to appear in a Revs game this season, but made 16 appearances with USL PRO club Harrisburg City Islanders in 2012. He was originally drafted by Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the third round of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft out of Notre Dame.
Horth, 23, signed with the Revolution on Jan. 25, 2013, after trials with the club last fall and in preseason. He has not appeared in a Revs game this season, but is coming off two successful seasons with the NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks, where he scored 18 goals in 49 appearances in 2011 and 2012. Undrafted, Horth played collegiately at Gordon College.
Latigue, 22, signed with the Revolution on March 1, 2013, after the Revolution drafted him in the fourth round of the 2013 MLS Supplemental Draft. He played four seasons at Elon University, scoring 15 goals and adding 17 assists in 82 games. He was an all-region honoree as a senior.
Polak, 20, was drafted by the Revolution in the second round of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas player. He played two seasons at Creighton, helping the Bluejays lead the country in shutout percentage and goals against average in his sophomore season. He has yet to make an MLS appearance this year after making his MLS debut in the Revs' 2012 season opener – his only MLS appearance – at San Jose.
Further information about the Rhinos can be found at rhinossoccer.com or on Twitter (@RochesterRhinos) and Facebook (RochesterRhinos).

The way I look at it there can only be two reasons:
- It's just really good and so is spreading virally.
- Everyone is being asked to install it by some educational or training body - maybe it's on some curriculum somewhere.
Having Goggled around and wasted more time than I really should have I came up with nothing except that Edubuntu comes with it installed (and surely schools are using that?)
Anyway, if you have any ideas then let me know. Meanwhile I'm just sitting here playingr gbrainy like the rest of them.
There's a neat article here.

[pullquote quote="We've never done anything as… high quality as this will be." credit="James Mercer, on playing 'Live on Letterman'"][lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Shins[/lastfm] fourth LP, Port of Morrow is out today and pulling in strong reviews from all over the internet and even from some archaic medium known as "print."
To help drum up some attention for the new album, the Shins are streaming a full concert tonight from the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York, as part of the Live on Letterman series.
In case you're not familiar with the Live on Letterman series, here's how it works: after the band tapes a song for the broadcast of the show to air later tonight, they studio clears out the TV audience and brings in about 200, lucky, die-hard Shins fans to fill up the theater. Than the Shins return to the stage and play a full concert, packed with hits and new material. The show is streamed live right here and on CBS.com. So basically, you can wait until 12:25 AM tonight to watch one, taped song by the Shins, or you can come back right here at 9 PM ET/ 6 PM PT to watch a full concert, streamed live. Or both.
If you're pretty excited about the show, you're not alone. The Shins are stoked too. According to James, they've never done anything on this level before with a full, live show. You can check out a full interview with James below, where he talks about what it feels like to prep for the show and he shares some of his memories from the first time he played Letterman.
Don't forget to come back, right here, at 9 PM ET/ 6 PM PT to watch the Shins Live on Letterman stream. You can also stream the new album in it's entirety on Street Date.

You figure looking like a notorious dictator has more downs than ups, but an Egyptian Saddam Hussein lookalike may have gotten the worst of it when he escaped forcibly starring in a porno.
According to the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram, Mohamed Bishr was harassed and ultimately attacked by a gang of armed men hoping to use him to impersonate Hussein in a fake sex tape.
Ahram reports that Bishr met with the gang earlier and had been offered the equivalent of $330,000 to portray the Iraqi dictator. After turning them down, Bishr began receiving phone calls from men threatening to kidnap and force Bishr to shoot the tape. Police believe the gang would have attempted to pass the video off as legitimate, selling it to media outlets.
The threats were apparently earnest; on Sunday, as Bishr was walking to an Alexandrian coffee shop, three armed men in black suits tried to kidnap him.
Bishr said that — as passersby looked on — the men grabbed him and forced him into a van, hitting his head as he entered. The assailants began shouting at each other, then threw him back out of the van.
This incident is not new; citizens have allegedly been threatening Bishr for years — occasionally saying they would turn him in for an American bounty. The abuse has forced Bishr to change addresses frequently and seek police protection.
No arrests have been made, and Bishr never learned the names of the men he had met with, though he says they spoke Arabic in an Iraqi or Syrian dialect.
The case raises some bigger questions — one, had the plan succeeded, would international media have bought the tapes? And two; will Bishr now hire a Saddam Hussein lookalike lookalike to divert attention from himself?

This is my second import from car king. I loved my Beemer and I have really been liking my Benz. Thanks again
I was looking for a car for weeks. I stopped by numerous dealerships and even checked out personal sales. I was really getting disappointed in my options. A neighbor recommended Car King. They were great to work with.
I have purchase several cars from Car King and I am always pleased. I tell all my family, friends and neighbors to go there. We all really like their great service and friendly helping attitude
My father and law told me Car king is the place to go for a car. Glad I went there. I like my truck a lot. Nice vehicles and price.
We are both very pleased with our purchase and the service we received at Car King. Every step was easy and they were very helpful and patient with my wife and I. Our daughter is going to be looking at their inventory soon.
Never heard of carking. Not from this area. Glad I stumbled across them. Great truck and a great price.
I originally wanted a Tacoma. They didn't have a Toyota truck available but this turned out to be a great price. Great service and very helpful.
Excellent selection at this car lot and fair prices. I read a lot of reviews with my wife and we will shop with them again.
Thank you Brian for your help. We have been very pleased with the vehicle and appreciate the advice you gave us. We will see you again next year when our son needs his first car.
I appreciate your patient understanding help. I was recommended to buy my next car from your dealership and you all were a pleasant surprise. Working with each of your departments went very smoothly and I have been very happy with my purchase. Thank you again for your recent help with getting me your discount on some work I needed done and new tires for the winter.

Making UW Bothell History
By Marlene Manzo
The Universal Leadership Conference (ULC) took place all day Saturday, May 4 at Mobius Hall. Close to 200 students participated in the conference. The focus of ULC was to empower students into leadership by focusing on diversity as an element of leadership. Workshop topics varied from racial and ethnic awareness, personal leadership development, social justice and advocacy and cross cultural communication. Student groups from Skagit Valley, Shoreline and Kent came to participate in the first annual conference.
Howard Behar, former CEO and President of Starbucks International, participated in a workshop by UW Bothell staff members, Anthony Kelley and Sacha Nunn. Their workshop presentation, "Negotiating through the Funk: Using the Tool of Racial Identity Development" focused on working through the difficulties of racial identity, and envisioning an ideal and diverse society.
Mr. Behar was so impressed with the conference that he took the time to write the ULC team and presenters, including Kelley and Nunn. In part, his note read, "Anthony and Sacha, although I certainly enjoy speaking, the session the two of you put about diversity was truly outstanding. You created a wonderful atmosphere for everyone who attended the workshop. I came away having grown as a human being."
Two UW Bothell students were also awarded the Excellence in Leadership Award 2013. Aaron Huston and Drew Stone were presented this award for their outstanding leadership in and outside of the UW Bothell campus community.
Founder and Chair of ULC Tyrell Edwards praised everyone involved, "We had the perfect combination of student participants who were passionate about their personal and professional development and presenters who were eager to provide social justice, service and leadership lessons." Edwards added, "The dedicated student committee and incredible support from the Office of Student Life faculty and staff resulted in a very successful inaugural conference, setting the foundation for years to come."

Student Leaders Making UW Bothell Radio a Reality
By Andrew Nguyen
Paul Kim, a senior in media and communications Studies, is the general manager of UWave and shares his vision for UW Bothell radio.
"It's very simple, be a source of real world experience for students and create a radio program that contributes to community and culture," says Kim.
Kim grew up in Wichita and his first memories are being at the University of Kansas when his father was earning his Ph.D.
Kim served as an intern at KEXP in 2012 and now assists in talk radio production for KBCS 91.3. Building an institution for hyper-local content and a technical training ground for students keeps Kim motivated.
"This is perfect timing for the campus. With more students and a new building under construction a radio station will showcase the talent in Bothell and bring more attention to the region. I'm always surprised how many artists I meet on campus." explains Kim.
Kim is working with Washington State Senator Maralyn Chase on a bill that will appropriate money for UWave's infrastructure. UWave is also anticipating the award of a cultural development grant from King County.
Small steps also matter. As he talks about the UWave vision, Kim opens a package of sound deadening material for the studio. For this sound producer it's like opening a holiday present.
He describes what shouldn't be on the airwaves, radio that doesn't inform listeners on the issues or contribute to cultural development.
The UWave team is applying for a low power radio (LPFM) license from the FCC in October and will begin internet streaming on June 7.
Programming includes showcasing local artists and student-led talk radio.

Food Movements Growing in Unexpected Places
By Nate Stout
Lauren Russell is one of the most amusing people you will meet on the UW Bothell campus. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, she has a knack for impressions, observations as insightful as they are funny, and she keeps the conversation open and inviting.
Underneath this fun-loving persona, Russell is a dedicated scholar, whose research as an undergraduate in the geography program at UW Seattle focused on community garden development in impoverished areas.
"I learned about the inequalities that take place in urban landscapes during my undergraduate work," Russell explains, "There's a lot happening right now in places like New York, Detroit, and Oakland to compensate for the issues of access to nutritious food. People are growing their own food right in the city, on roof tops, and in vacant lots."
Currently finishing up her first year in the cultural studies graduate program, Russell is building on her previous work by going deeper into the social and political structures that create the inequalities that severely impact the health of urban residents. Lately, Russell has been developing a strategy for her research over the next year and beyond.
"Over the next year, I hope to be able to merge my research in community gardens, food oppression, access and inequalities in a way that supports food movements and provides a good foundation for the pursuit of a doctoral degree in the future."

In reference to Michael Fitzgerald's Sept. 8 column, "The plot sickens with latest allegations," I found an issue with his belief that Stocktonians should have faith in city government.
In reference to Michael Fitzgerald's Sept. 8 column, "The plot sickens with latest allegations," I found an issue with his belief that Stocktonians should have faith in city government.
I agree with my remarkable English teacher and journalism adviser, Kathi Duffel, that the city is in disarray. Why should we have faith in a city that has yet to solve its major budget issues, such as keeping its commitment to the public employees' pensions, without going further down the path of financial ruin?
The tax measure that our mayor is pushing is vague in its title, the "Law Enforcement, Crime Prevention, and other essential City Services Measure." What exactly determines what is an "essential" city service?
I'm sorry, but as a student who fought vague wording in a policy put forth by Lodi Unified that violated students' First Amendment rights, I don't look with "faith" at a measure that could possibly be abused by the city. I also found the former University of the Pacific professor's quote, "What is tragic here is the people actually get to vote on this," to be very disturbing.
Last I checked, this is a democracy, so the people have every right to vote for or against any tax measure imposed upon them. Didn't we fight a war over something like that?
Until our mayor can learn to be non-divisive and until the city fixes its financial issues, I and many others will continue to say that we're in disarray.
Zachary J. Denney
� NOTE: Measure A on the November ballot was placed there by the City Council. Mayor Anthony Silva, who joined the unanimous council vote to put the sales tax issue before Stockton voters, earlier had supported a sales tax issue devoted exclusively to hiring more police officers.
� � �
In a column that devotes 90 percent of its content to bemoaning Stockton's leadership, Michael Fitzgerald admonishes me for having "little faith" for telling a National Public Radio reporter I will not vote for the tax increase. Further, I am lumped into a group he believes is ignorant - those who "skim the text, not reading closely, like they did when they voted out Mayor Ann Johnston."
I voted for Johnston, in spite of her dubious comments that she has now learned to "look into the future" before making decisions.
How unfortunate that Fitzgerald chooses to characterize those of us who demand fiscal responsibility from our elected officials as those who wish to impede progress - simply because we refuse to see raising taxes as the "business as usual" way of government.
If University of the Pacific Professor Bob Benedetti really believes "What is tragic here is the people actually get to vote on this," then perhaps the professor should step out of his academic bubble and join the real world.
Taxpayers have approved two other Measures - U and W - to fund police and firefighters. Now we are expected to vote for a new tax that pays for more police and "essential city services"?
Voters who have read closely will be voting NO. Instead, let's start making the hard cuts (starting with pension reform) and living within our means - then you can count me as one of the faithful.
Kathi Duffel
I don't see the difference of shooting, hacking or clubbing men, women and children to death and killing them with poison gas.
There doesn't seem to be much concern about Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria and several other places in Africa where thousands and hundreds of thousands have died on a continuing basis.
Now 1,400 or so are gassed, and there is great concern. Is it worse for these innocents to die by gas than to be clubbed to death, raped and otherwise brutalized?
Something is wrong somewhere. Wake up, America!

Everyone knows there is nothing slow about the Ferrari 458 Italia. Of course, that doesn't mean the completely insane 2932 pound 1115 horsepower Koenigsegg Agera R doesn't have the power to make the 458 look a lot slower than it actually is.
Seen here racing on a closed runway, that is exactly what the impressive Agera R manages to do. The creator of this video claims the Koenigsegg Agrera R shown here recorded a GPS verified 14.53 second 0-186MPH run. From watching the in-car
footage from a seperate run in the Agera R below, we don't doubt it for a second.

By Michael Ellenbogen, a person with Alzheimer's. Also, a Health Power Editor and Advisor and global expert on Alzheimer's, Dementia and Caregiving
Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia affect more than 35 million people worldwide today. An astonishing fact that today someone in the world develops dementia every 4 seconds. By the middle of the century more than 115 million people will be affected by the disease if we do nothing.
My name is Michael Ellenbogen, and I am living with Alzheimer's and trying to make a difference. I was previously a high-level manager in the telecommunication industry. In 2008, I was diagnosed with younger-onset Alzheimer's disease (YOAD) after struggling to get a diagnosis since my first symptoms at age 39. Losing my job and not being able to work had a huge impact on my life as I was a workaholic. I am now an Alzheimer's advocate and a spokesperson for the Alzheimer's Association (U.S.) as a member of its national 2012 Early-Stage Advisory Group.
I am so frustrated, because no one realizes how seriously disabled I am. If I had a loss of limb or some other visual ailment, it would make people realize. I don't want them to feel sorry for me or pity me, just want to be understood. So many people say you do not seem to have Alzheimer's, and that frustrates me. Let me tell you what it's like to live with this debilitating and progressive disease.
Imagine for one minute that your friend, relative or family member has Alzheimer's and has to deal with the following issues:
- When I go shopping and look at items, most of them never really register in my mind, even though I see it clearly.
- I have trouble making decisions, because I question whether I am making the right one.
- I can no longer enjoy my favorite hobbies, because it requires processing skills that I no longer have. I went from being a gadget person, to now being threatened by technology that I no longer can use. This is what I deal with and so much more.
- I go to a happy affair only to be tortured by the noise and surrounding conversations, because of the loudness that cannot be filtered out.
- If people try to speak with me in a public setting where there are many other conversations, I just don't understand what they are saying. This is because all of the people speaking come in at the same volume level. All the words run together, and it sounds like a foreign language.
- I went from being extremely proactive to becoming much less active and motivated.
- I leave things around the house and don't put them away, because I don't know where they go or feel I may not know where to retrieve them again.
- One moment I am nice, and another I may fly off the handle.
- I can no longer write or speak like I used to. My friends slowly become distant and usually speak to my wife. I do realize this.
- I worry every day about the challenges ahead.
- Or even worse, I am losing my mind and see it happening, but I cannot do anything to change the course.
- People always say 'if I can do anything just let me know.†If I take them up on that offer, they back out of their commitments.
I have become extremely surprised by the lack of public commitment to my pleas for support of Alzheimer's disease. While some may be sympathetic in the moment, there appears to be little follow-through. This is very upsetting, because I feel as though it affects me personally as well as the millions of others living with the disease. I was always there for others when they needed it and now I feel alone.
many people just coast through the day, I have to use 110% of my processing skills to do most things, which increases the stress and frustration. The worst part about this disease is knowing that I am doing all these things wrong and have no way to control or stop it, and it's only getting worse as the days go by. I used to save lots of money by doing so many things around the house. Now I lost the drive, determination and skills needed to do those things. Many times I hurt myself trying or make it worse.
I cannot begin to explain how it tears me up inside to see my spouse struggling to do the things that I once was capable of doing and know I cannot do a thing to help. I realize that one day I may no longer be able to drive and this devastates me. I see my wife becoming stressed, depressed and overwhelmed, but caregivers know it will only continue to get worse. Sadly, they keep telling themselves that they can do it all even when we know they will need help.
I, the patient, see it definitely. My wife is on the road to hell, and she does not even realize it yet, because she is so busy trying to block it all out. The worst part about all this is, I have not even reached the worst stage. That scares the hell out of me.
I have been so surprised by the stigma associated with this disease. It comes at you from all angles. People think they knew what Alzheimer's is, but they don't. I see this not only from people living with dementia but many media health correspondents, physicians and organizations that are geared to helping those deal with the disease. I have learned that I do not want to share my diagnosis with people I meet until they get to know me. If I was to tell them upfront, I would be treated so differently, which I have learned. I kind of see this disease like HIV used to be. The people who have it are so afraid to let others know, including family. I do not get it. We did nothing wrong to get this disease, and we need to speak up to let our voice be heard. We did nothing and no one should be ashamed of having it. I feel so much better when I share it with others than when I try to hide it.
Because of my frustration with the existing environment for people with dementia, I realized change was needed. I decided to use my few skills left to advocate. I have spent some of my last few years being on television, radio, newspapers, many blogs and working with many politicians. I also had an opportunity to speak at all of the public sessions to develop the first U.S. National Alzheimer's Plan, all this on my own. But that was not enough, because I ran into so many people who just did not want to get involved. I am now a volunteer for the national Alzheimer's Association Early-Stage Advisory Group. If there is something I want you to walk away with it's that you can make a difference, but it will take persistence. Write a letter to your public official or reach out to local support organizations to create needed programs and services. Your voice and your story are powerful tools. Please get involved.
The simple truth is, if you have not been touched by this devastating and debilitating disease yet, consider yourself extremely lucky. Sadly, it's just a matter of time before it touches you. It is my hope that my actions today may prevent future generations from suffering with this disease. So give yourself piece of mind and do something today. I hope that what I am doing will allow me to leave this world knowing that I did everything possible to make that next generation have a fighting chance. There are no excuses for not wanting to help. The human cost factor is too high, and we are all accountable to do something.
There are many organizations out there like ADI and the Alzheimer's Association that can help you. The Alzheimer's Association got me started in many ways with my new journey. It not only helped me, but it also helped my wife as my caregiver. They have a website with many resources at www.alz.org. I encourage you to reach out today if you have not already. I would also encourage you to educate yourself.
Please join me and Go Purple on Sunday, Sept. 21 for World Alzheimer's Day. I wear a purple Alzheimer's bracelet every day. And for those living with Alzheimer's, stop focusing on what you cannot do and join me in the battle to advocate. We still have so much to give, and we need to use our skills at our own speed. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I, and your loved ones, are counting on all of you.

By Jason Pribila: Hollywood's biggest and brightest stars are again ready to walk the Red Carpet at the Academy Awards on Sunday February 27. Once again the sport of boxing was well represented when the nominees were announced. Christian Bale is the favorite to walk away with an Oscar for his brilliant performance playing Micky Ward's brother/trainer Dicky Eklund in "The Fighter".
For several years I was happy to play host to my own Oscar Party. To me it was as good of an excuse as any to throw a party, and it served as a nice bridge between the Super Bowl and the NCAA basketball's Final Four. At the time I had my heart set on penning the next romantic comedy that would do for Bethlehem, PA what Kevin Smith did for Red Bank, NJ. Several Friday nights were spent going to movie theaters to see all the nominees. A guy in his mid-20's spending weekends alone in a movie theater led friends and family to wonder where meeting my soul mate ranked on my priority list.
These days I don't spend nearly as much time or money at the multiplex. Instead I spend a majority of my weekends watching half-naked, mostly Asian or Latino men trying to knock each other unconscious. My friends and family no longer ask me about finding Mrs. Pribs. Besides, after seeing "Blue Valentine" I scratched marriage off my "bucket list"
In recent years the Academy Awards have felt a lot like an HBO PPV. The main event comes on too late at night. Only hardcore fans know who is nominated for technical awards aka undercard. And there are very few surprises of who is going to end the night victorious.
So for those who are going to tune in to cheer on "The Fighter" or to serve penance by sitting with your spouse as stars get grilled by fashion police; the following is a guide through the Best Picture nominees that will enhance your viewing pleasure.
Please Note: The Academy doubled the total of Best Picture nominees last year from 5 to 10 (without my consent). Although this was a strong year, I will only recognize the five films that also snagged a nod for Best Director.
"Black Swan"
Pribs' Take: Never thought a film about ballet would have the year's most thrilling ending. Yes, that includes a Micky Ward fight. The film was directed by Darren Aronofsky, who also directed "The Wrestler". Natalie Portman will now have an Oscar to go along with the admiration of an ever growing legion of male (and female) fans.
Portman's character gains the lead role in "Swan Lake". Playing the innocent white swan comes naturally, but she struggles to capture and embrace the dark side of the black swan.
For the Boxing fan: One does not need to look far down the "pound for pound" list to find a fighter that seamlessly transforms when he hears the opening bell. Manny Pacquiao's ring walks ooze the innocence of the white swan. He is smiling ear to ear, and still seems genuinely surprised that so many people came to the arena to see him perform. Some fans actually fear that he is about to get hurt. Recently, however, it takes Pacquiao twenty minutes or less to be fully engulfed in playing the role of bully; a role that he also plays with grace.
"The King's Speech"
Pribs Take: The story of the future King George VI of England's struggle with overcoming his lifelong stammer is going to be tough to beat. It has everything Academy voters love: an excellent ensemble of gifted actors, Shakespeare, it is a period piece, and a protagonist that overcomes an obstacle. Throw in a clip of Hitler's Nazi Germany as the enemy, and you got an Oscar favorite.
For the Boxing Fan: Former undisputed heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson stole my thunder on this nominee. He filmed a skit on funnyordie.com with film critic Leonard Maltin, who asked Tyson what he thought of "King's Speech". Tyson did not see the film, but was relieved that it was not Don King's speech, "I thought it was some more of that 'Only in America' bullshit. I had enough of that for one lifetime."
"The Social Network"
Pribs' Take: I went to see "The Facebook Movie" on opening night. It was a well written, well-acted, and poignant story that is experienced daily by many people I know. However, when the film ended, I did not have the desire to see it again.
For the Boxing Fan: Much has been written about the cozy relationship that HBO has with certain promoters and managers. They started 2011 by overpaying for a fight between Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander, which took place in an arena that I thought, was converted to a parking lot years ago. Like most Bradley fights, he was well conditioned, fought aggressively, and he emerged victorious. However, when the bout ended I had no desire to see him again.
Unfortunately, the HBO social network guaranteed each guy a seven figure pay day for their return bouts.
"True Grit"
Pribs' Take: The Coen brothers' latest features "The Dude" Jeff Bridges playing the role made famous by "The Duke" John Wayne. Overall this was a good movie that met expectations. There is a scene near the end of the movie where Bridges is walking in a moonlit snowfall that is one of the prettiest shots captured on film this year.
For the Boxing Fan: All fans respect fighters' skills, and some are even impressed with glossy records. However, those who fight with heart, show backbone, courage, and find a way to shoot down an opponent while being out-gunned, are the ones that often earn the most passionate and loyal fans. Not everyone needs to step into a boxing ring to take a pounding. For many, they take a beating from 8am – 5pm, Monday through Friday. That is why when they tune into a fight they want to root for someone that they could connect with. Win or lose they are all taking the punches together.
This is why Jesus Soto-Karass got as much ink after being out-classed last Saturday by Mike Jones. This is why everyone that wrote about the star-making performance by Nonito Donaire, also mentioned the fact that Fernando Montiel somehow finished the fight on his feet.
These are the fighters that people make movies about.
"The Fighter"
Pribs' Take: The story of the "pre-Gatti Trilogy" boxing career of "Irish" Micky Ward has the proverbial puncher's chance on Oscar Night. Kudos for Mark Wahlberg for fighting so hard to bring this story to the big screen, even if the script gave the rest of the cast a much flashier roles.
Some criticisms from the boxing community included the fact that the Shea Neary fight was depicted as being contested for a major world championship. Fair enough, but 90% of the audience would not know the difference between the WBU, IBF, or WWE Belts. We could let this one slide.
Others questioned how someone could make a Micky Ward movie without mentioning the trilogy with Arturo Gatti. Obviously this was a question that was asked prior to thinking. How could a filmmaker spend 90 minutes asking his audience to fall in love with Micky Ward, and then introduce Arturo Gatti as a villain? It was a nice touch by lifting Jim Lampley's call of Round 9 to describe the action in the film. Besides, the filmmakers needed to save something for the sequel.
For the Boxing Fan: It's Micky Ward on the Red Carpet, what else could a fight fan ask for?

Problems: I wasn't actually booked in when I arrived, although my colleague on the same LateRooms booking was.
The hotel said they wanted (a discounted!) £15.50 each for breakfast. Ridiculous price. So we had a very good breakfast down the road for £15 (for the 2 of us).
Having asked for tomato ketchup with my fish & chip supper in the bar, I was told the hotel had run out at breakfast-time - how can a hotel run out of ketchup + why couldn't a staff member have been requested to call at a supermarket on their way into work. Room itself was a bit soulless; also, you can't fill the bath at anything other than a trickle, otherwise the power of the water inflow opens up the (swivel) bath plug!

Reapplying to law school after an academic dismissal...
June 12, 2013, 07:19:59 AM »
I struggled a great deal during my first semester of law school, and my grades were horrible. It was a different style of learning, that I had to get used to. I was a good student in undergrad, so I couldnt understand what was wrong. The feedback that I got back from my professors was rule dumping and too conclusory. When I look back at my bluebooks, I can now understand what they might pages and pages of rules and too little analysis. Second semester was a lot better for me. I finally understood that I had to make law school my entire life, and I worked hard at it. I joined a study group with the smartest guy in my section (he booked all the classes 1st semester), and did practice essays and multiples for academic support and my professors weekly. In the end, all my grades went up a letter grade, but it wasnt enough and I was academically dismissed in 2011.
My first year out of law school was extremely difficult. It doesnt help your self-esteem. I also didnt have a plan B, so I felt derailed for a while. I am now in a MBA program (which has probably a rash decision after being dismissed from law school), and I graduate May of 2014. I am trying to accept my MBA, and looking into different fields that I can go into. I just feel like its not genuine and I think my professors and everyone around me can realize that.
I have an internship now and I visited the NC Supreme Court and met with one of the Justices. I cant explain what I felt listening to him talk about cases and the law. I can only say that I felt such admiration and respect. I also felt ashamed and sad that I would not be able to practice law. I looked at the different Justices on the wall, and it was at that point that I was determined to not give up on my dream.
For the most part, Ive accepted the fact that I am not in law school anymore. The only question is whether or not I want to go back. I have to be realistic about the situation. Law schools look down on applicants who were previously dismissed, and that will make it just that much harder for me to get in. I also do not want to go through that grueling admissions process again (if youve gone to law school, then you know what I mean). Not to mention, that BEAST we call a LSAT. Im in business school, so I have learned to always look at the cost-benefit factor. Is it worth it, financially? Lastly, am I really meant to be a lawyer? Do I possess the required skills? Is that career even for me?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Well it sounds like you have a real passion for the law, which is something I do not see in a lot of the lawyers I work with. I will say it can be a very rewarding career, but it is difficult. As for law school admissions looking down on those who were dismissed I don't know if that is necessarily true across the board I am sure some schools think that way while others may respect your determination to come back and you could certainly address what you have learned in your personal statement.
As for the LSAT as you know that is nothing compared to a law school exam and the bar exam is the LSAT on Jose Canseco Steroids so be sure you are up to the challenge.
As for your questions?
1) Is it worth it financially
This is a big consideration law school is extremely expensive and you will lose three years of income. I am an attorney and I honestly believe I could have made more money had I pursued a different field, but I love my job and being a lawyer. I personally think loving what you do is worth sacrificing some higher numbers in your bank account, but everyone is different.
2) Am I really meant to be a lawyer?
There is no answer to this you can't possibly know if your meant to be a lawyer. I know many practicing lawyers that are miserable and plenty that are happy. Failing out your first year is tough, but as an attorney you will need perseverance and if it is something you really want I would encourage you to pursue your goals. You only have one life and if you are passionate about being a lawyer go for that path. If your not then don't waste your time.
3) Do I possess the required skills?
I have never met you or know anything about you and again being a lawyer is something you learn once your out in the real world. Law school gives you a foundation, but there are no multiple choice questions in the real world. Again you can't possibly know if you possess the skills unless you work as a lawyer and then it will be sink or swim.
4) Is that career even for me?
Again I have never met you and know nothing about you. If being a lawyer is something you are passionate about then I would say yes, but that is a question only you can answer.
Good luck whatever you decide.

Happy to offer some insight and remember whether you re attend or not is a highly personal decision and you have to really ask yourself what you plan on doing differently this time around and whether you really want to be a lawyer.

Portland Trail Blazers Tickets
Portland Trail Blazers Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
2013 Result: 33-49, missed playoffs As always, the Trail Blazers were the beneficiaries of tremendous fan support in 2012-13. The Trail Blazers averaged 19,982 fans per home game to see a 49-loss team. But they had help, as this was no ordinary 49-loss team. They had rookie point guard Damian Lillard (19.0 PPG, 6.5 APG), clearly the standout rookie of the season. Wesley Matthews is a productive player but seems better served in some kind of rotation as his playmaking ability is limited. Their moves in the offseason were insignificant, so a suspect defense could plague the team again. Their only really notable move was picking up three-point shooter Dorell Wright. But they had four draft picks, most notably the 10th overall pick which they used to pick Lehigh guard C.J. McCullom. In McCullom and Lillard the Blazers have one of the more exciting guard duos in the league. But the face of the franchise is still center LaMarcus Aldridge (21.1 PPG, 9.1 RPG), a premier center in today's league. With Lillard, McCullom, and Meyers Leonard, the Blazers have some promising young talent too. But it remains to be seen how they're going to go up against the star-studded lineups in their division, specifically OKC's, and the defensive stalwarts in Denver. Still, the Blazers weren't nearly as bad as their record would show as they lost their last 13 games of the season. The future is bright in Portland and as always the fans will be right there behind them. The Portland Trail Blazers represent the city of Portland in the Northwest Division and Western Conference of the NBA. The Trail Blazers were founded in 1970 and have enjoyed a strong following ever since. From 1977 to 1995, they sold out 814 consecutive home games, the longest streak in American major professional sports. They are also the only major league sports team located in the state of Oregon. The Trail Blazers reached the NBA Finals three times in their history, winning the NBA Championship once, in 1977. They also qualified for the playoffs 29 seasons of their 42-season existence, including a streak of 21 appearances in a row from 1983 through 2003, the second longest streak in NBA history. Some of the greatest NBA players to play in Portland include Lenny Wilkens, Bill Walton, and Clyde Drexler. Now is a perfect time to get your tickets to the Portland Trail Blazers' 2013-14 NBA season. Get your tickets today!

We don't know WHY it took us so long to make over this starchy oil-fest of a dish; it was almost too easy. We suspect you'll forgive us once you taste our creamy, cheesy version -- it's AMAZING! Ingredients: 1 cup fresh basil leaves 1/4 cup fat-free ricotta cheese 2 tbsp. reduced-fat Parmesan-style grated topping 2 tbsp. pine nuts 1 tsp. olive oil 1 tsp. chopped garlic 1/4 tsp. salt, or more to taste 1/4 tsp. black pepper, or more to taste 2 packages House Foods Tofu Shirataki Spaghetti Shaped Noodle Substitute Directions: To make the pesto sauce, place all ingredients except noodles in a small blender or food processor, and blend/process until a smooth paste forms. Set aside. Use a strainer to rinse and drain noodles well. Pat dry. Cut noodles up a bit, using kitchen shears if you've got 'em. Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add noodles and, stirring often, cook just until all water has evaporated and noodles are hot. Transfer noodles to a bowl and immediately toss with pesto sauce. If you like, add additional salt and pepper to taste. EAT! MAKES 2 SERVINGS

Pesto is a sneaky one. It looks all healthy 'cuz it's green and herby -- but underneath that facade (and bite-y garlic!) lies a bunch of oil, cheese, and nuts. "But Hungry Girl," you say, "everyone says the fats found in olive oil and nuts are good for you!" True. They are. But you don't need to consume a ton of those healthy fats to reap the benefits, and if you take in too much, the negatives can outweigh the positives. The average order of pasta with pesto sauce has more than SIXTY grams of fat... and over 1,000 calories! "Fine," you say, "but, HG, how can you replace the richness of all that oil, the nuts, and loads of cheese?" Easy. We just use less oil, fewer nuts, plenty of reduced-fat Parmesan cheese, and one of our secret weapons... FAT-FREE RICOTTA! As for that mountain of starchy noodles... Hello?! That's what Tofu Shirataki is for! Our slimmed-down pesto pasta tastes incredible. We know what we're doing, people. Trust and chew... trust and chew...

Two local teens were charged with robbing a person in the parking lot of the Southington Police Department.
On Wednesday, March 19, police dispatchers monitoring video surveillance in the department's front parking lot observed what they thought was an altercation. Police responded to the parking lot as one of the vehicles involved in the altercation was leaving. Dispatch was able to provide a license plate number and police subsequently stopped the car at the intersection of Lazy Lane and Curtis Street.
According to police, the victim, who was unknown to the alleged assailants and there on a completely different matter, was followed by two males, later identified as 18-year-old
and a 17-year-old juvenile.
As the victim got into a vehicle, the two teens allegedly approached and demanded money. According to the victim, the suspects stated they had firearms and that they would use them if necessary, adding that they would kill the victim's family if they were caught.
The teens then attempted to go through the victim's pockets looking for money. The victim took his wallet out of a backpack and the juvenile "snatched" the money from the victim's hand.
The suspects then went to a friend's vehicle in the SPD parking lot and left the area. At the time of the investigation it appears that the two other people in the vehicle were unaware of what happened and were at the station on an unrelated police matter, Police Spokesman Sgt. Jeff Dobratz said.
According to police, Maerz and the juvenile suspect were in the parking lot waiting for their friends to finish with their business inside the police station.
The victim visually identified Maerz and the juvenile as the suspects. Police video surveillance confirmed that Maerz and the juvenile made contact with the victim and the victim is seen getting inside the vehicle.
The victim told police that $22 was taken during the robbery. The money was not recovered.
"This was odd," Dobratz said of the attempted robbery in front of the police station.
Maerz was charged with first degree robbery, second degree threatening, second degree breach of peace and sixth degree conspiracy to commit larceny. Bond was set at $2,500 with a March 20 court date.
The male juvenile, not named due to his age, was charged with first degree robbery, second degree threatening, second degree breach of peace and sixth degree larceny. He was transferred to a juvenile detention center on March 19.

Same great Zombie Dice flavor, but now with more dinosaurs!
That's Dino Hunt Dice, the most recent addition to Steve Jackson's line of fun, family-friendly, easy-to-learn games. Exactly like Zombie Dice, players roll three dice at a time in an attempt to nab as many dinosaurs as they can (unlike Zombie Dice, there are multiple types, like T-Rex, Triceratops, and more) without getting stomped three times by a giant dino foot. If you get a leaf you're able to reroll that die, but if three feet do appear you lose all the dinosaurs you've collected that round. It's that simple. For two or more players, Dino Hunt Dice is a portable, easily learned dice game for the whole family.
The Force is growing stronger for the Star Wars Living Card Game with the release of the first Force Pack. The Desolation of Hoth, like Fantasy Flight's other LCG expansions, contains sixty new cards for inclusion in the Star Wars LCG base game. These cards expand the experience of the game, structuring a new adventure on the ice planet of Hoth.
If you're tired of staring at your boring family during that holiday dinner, get Rory's Story Cubes. If you can't get your brain to come up with any ideas for that novel you've been whittling away at, get Rory's Story Cubes. If your child keeps begging for a new bedtime story and you don't have any on to tell, get Rory's Story Cubes. A simple solo or multi-player storytelling game, Rory's Story Cubes are sets of nine dice, adorned with various pictures used to spur narrative forward in a group environment. Each of the three existing sets is themed to focus on Actions, Voyages, and basic story elements.
The draft is on!
The Blood Bowl Team Manager Card Game is expanding its ranks by three in with the Sudden Death expansion set. Each of these three new teams incorporate new abilities, like the Champions of Death who raise zombified players from underneath the field whenever the chips are down. The Dark Sorcery Syndicate (magic, magic, magic!) and the Black Fangs (they want to suck away your victory) round out the options. But some other Hail Mary additions have been included, too, like enchanted ball cards, contract payouts, and much, much more. HIKE!
Always a yearly highlight for Magic the Gathering players, the newest Duel Deck has hit shelves. Considering the pairing this time is Sorin vs. Tibalt, they are not likely to remain on shelves for much longer. For those looking for money cards, the cost of the Duel Deck is recuperated by the Sorin, Lord of Innistrad card alone. If you're just looking to play with a buddy, these sets are the perfect starting point for new Magic players or anyone looking to have a quick throwdown. Each deck, Sorin and Tibalt, are constructed to pose a threat to their opponent, leading to a fair match between players and reliable decks to learn the game off of.
