Recently could play Fortune Arterial, Prima Stella and Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo.
Being a lazy commenter, I think sky's article would summary well my opinion regarding Fortune Arterial: pretty neat and clean scripting, proper build up and twists and likable characters (minus a very tiresome Kanade, and a loathable Kaya).
Although I was expecting more on the action side due to story relying on vampires matters, it was definitely an excellent visual novel no doubt.
I would however rants for few additional things:
-a ridiculous use of the CPU for few mere effects or ending scroll (it baffles me that a dual core got busy for 92-96% of its capacity due to a silly scroll + song)
-Some laziness that is a bit too noticeable considering the quality of this title (most notable part: the lack of altered effect on people voice when they are using their cellphone)
-True end being borderline a deus ex machina and "too good to be true" (players know what I'm talking about).
Well, I guess I will post something bigger in the future, but heh
Favourite character: Kiriha (stylish with insane moe side anyone?)
Favourite route: True end (though closely followed by Kiriha's route, then Erika... no, not because of the bias )
Prima Stella, on the other hand, was seriously one of the worst VN I could read (and this feeling got exacerbed as I played it right after FA).
Aside of the mediocre quality production (which is extremely cheap in term of interface, BG and BGM), PS suffers a lot of a inherent issue: mindless ero.
Quantity isn't exactly an issue when it is well timed or somewhat meaningful. But PS manages to make me facepalm so many times I was wondering if I wasn't wasting my time dangerously.
The characters themselves are bland, quite stuck with their set behaviour. Although Kousuke is shown to be a decent male lead, the inconsistencies in the story telling show him as bad as Itou Makoto: screwing around.
Although he is good natured, the scripters didn't have the slightest good common sense to actually keep the ero for heroine routes. Therefore, you have to taste the "goods" one after another before defining the heroine of your choice.
This is really detrimental to the story telling because it simply involves to many "out of characters" decision. As result, it is simply a matter of scripters' whim than anything remotely decent.
That alone made me give up quickly especially how forced the drama was spawning like nuts in the common route (especially Kusumi's).
That experience made me realize that I could have avoided this eroge if I had the smart idea to check possible english reviews here and there. Now, unless it is really rumored to be good, I will certainly avoid any Atelier Kaguya titles like the plague.
Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo was a title I wanted to try after how G senjou managed to impress me.
And, hell, I wonder why I didn't check this title before.
Sharin storyline suffered slightly the same way than its successor: things make "only sense" with natsumi. As result, choosing either Sachi or Touka (or even Ririko) is not exactly fitting (a huge sense of incompatibility with Natsumi's route, no doubt).
I will however give the scripters some slack because there isn't much they could do considering the peculiar branch system. In fact, I'm kinda satisfied that they did bother adding few things that make a certain cohesion if you don't choose Natsumi as a romance interest. Of course, it doesn't have a broad convincing effect and sounds kinda cheap, but it is still coherent nevertheless.
And I would say that: the chemistry between the main protagonist, Morita Ken'ichi and the main heroine, Hinata Natsumi is so strong that it IS criminal to choose any other girl.
Now, on the good side of the plot: Sharin has nothing to be ashamed with its pacing (except perhaps, Touka's chapter).
Clean and straightforward, the plot itself dwells with each character issues with a global view, and sooner than expected, it unfolds a much more gloomy and dark aspect.
And this is Sharin plot strength: the interactions of Ken'ichi with each girls are always aiming for the resolution of everyone problem. However, the more the protagonists are going deeper, the more questions are emerging, especially with the unorthodox borderline darwinist view of the society, lead by Houzuki, the main "villain" of the story.
Thus, the scripters successfully avoided rampant cliché and convenient resolution, as they absolutely don't hesitate to leave blatant question and reconsiderations. So much that the protagonists themselves would have to go through dilemna.
That said, while Sachi and Touka routes are mere appetizer, the story really shines once Natsumi's chapter kicks in: balanced melodrama, heartwrenching moments ("she needs a hug, QUICK!" inducing portions) and neat emotional driven moments.
All is then left with a final chapter that explains most portions left unanswered by the VN, with a very satisfying climatic end.
As you can see, the plot itself was really the strongest element of Sharin no Kuni, and this is absolutely no coincidence with a colorful cast.
Ken'ichi is really one of the better male lead I could have read. Pretty much like FA Hasekura Kouhei, Ken'ichi is absolutely not clueless and is sensitive to girls problem AND feelings. As much as it is surprising, dense doesn't belong to his dictionary and he is proactive. Adding the fact he also manages to play the "necessary evil for the better welfare of the girls" behaviour adds a strong sense of sympathy towards this fellow.
To add again some unique aspect of his personality, Ken'ichi isn't shown as a superman, but rather a weird random joker that soon has a darker and flawed side which he won't mop (!) unlike usual emo protagonists.
Sachi would be considered as the usual "genki" borderline sportive girl, but her route shows very well how a motivation can change one's actions. Sachi is quite a refreshing "energy battery" as she is shown as sensitive and surprisingly straightforward. Not totally unique, but still a balanced character.
Touka is the most "bland" (well, don't take it to the first degree) character and still shines on various parts of her route. Tsundere, her antics are however "bearable" (especially her amusing "I will beat you to death!" catch phrase). I was fine with her as she didn't resort much to violence (despite her short temper) and she does show quirks and various dere moments. Her undecisiveness did annoy me hell lots during her route, but her development and changes were good enough for me.
I would simply rant about the fact her route is the least well geared to proper storytelling, as the pace was really jerky past the first part of her route. Climatic emotional ending indeed, but there was a lot of room for improvements to end up to this conclusion.
Natsumi is, at the first glance the tragic girl that seem to be abnormally shy and nervous, but after such a ridiculous awful past, who wouldn't?
Natsumi is probably the most complex character, being torn with various burden and probably the most painful obligation among the cast. And still, she manages to splendidly grow up and advance, thanks to Ken'ichi.
Her route was probably the most depressing one, for good reasons. The surprising element of her story is, however, how things are always advancing to a development, which prevents a forced drama to cripple and drag needlessly the plot (unlike Touka's).
As the interactions are the main feature of this route, the plot itself was really the most emotionnally moving, which is why choosing any other girl is kinda dubious.
Favourite character/route: Natsumi (default heroine, for good reasons)
As you can read, Sharin has a very strong structure articulated on how ken'ichi will help each girl and how things are smoothly raising the question regarding society and individuals aspiration. Each route is always relevant to the main route and come to a real conclusion with the final chapter.
It is however a shame that the epilogues for each route weren't given any justice, but I guess this is fixed with the fan disc, yuukyuu no shounen shoujo.
*phew*, I guess I will do an article, just like I did for G senjou
Next target... No idea, perhaps Himawari, as Zepy seems to be quite fond of it... But probably after Yuukyuu Shounen Shoujo (and perhaps any other akabeisoft title, if anyone has a suggestion).

That said, I'm not exactly that sure for Tayutama considering how I got utterly turned off by Skyfall (he typed some live feed on msn, and he went so much panzer about many stuff that it was scary).
i'm sure relentless got utterly assaulted through PM with some unholy wall of rants .
Obviously I won't expect something totally groundbreaking with Yuukyuu, though it is good to have proper epilogues this time around (natsumi full moe mode, so to speak), though I don't think I will ever try Sachi, considering the landmine (threesome... OTZ).
And yes, I learned my lesson with Atelier Kaguya *shudders*

... and then i blame Klash for sidetracking me with Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo ... which turned out to be a very solid and pleasant experience overall. I wasn't too sure of what to expect when i stepped in to this title, but whatever my expectations were, it is safe to say it surpassed them by the end. The premise did seem like requiring a fair bit to be swallowed at start, but they quickly made the best of it with the gritty setting of the police state situation, and the awesome Wakamoto endowed "villain" Houzuki (Whom you will love to hate) quickly pull one in to the setting, which then proceeds to take the player through a progressively darker issues, peaking in Natsumi's chapter and carrying over to the final one.
My sentiments on the title largely echo those of Klashikari, so no use repeating them that much i guess Solid pacing (Except for momentum loss during the 'second half' of Touka's chapter) and a good set of characters that contribute relevantly to both the grand scheme of things and their local routes, nice and unexpected plot twists, a good resolution, and a respectable (and unique) male lead. All that together makes Sharin a very welcome experience.
What has plenty of room for improvment is the games BGM though - sadly, it doesn't really live up to the task a lot of times. While the somewhat retro feel to it would be fine, given the mood of the setting, it often fails to deliver what could have been the full potential of emotional impact some scenes were capable of. While not perfect it wasn't bad enough to be obstructive either ...so while the title could have certainly benefited from a more refined BGM, it isn't all bad either.
The biggest "flaw" (well, it can be easily avoided though by doing the right thing ) is the fact the game pretends to have multiple heroine "paths" ... it doesn't - the only choice is Natsumi As the game goes on and you finally push yourself through the end and experience all the chapters (that must be cleared in set successive order), it becomes quite obvious the game was written as a solid story with Natsumi as the romance interest in mind, with the other girls quickly slapped on as "gettable" for marketing issues. Can't be helped i guess with the specific plot advancement of this title, but the end result is what it is - take all the other girls, multiply buildup by two, combine it, and you still have a far cry from what Natsumi and Ken have going for them, to the point of seeming simply pitiful. The only other choice that 'might' make a little bit of sense is Ririko, but that still doesn't hold a broken candle to Natsumi.
That aside, the title is still of rarely good quality, and i am enjoying the fandisc now - full drive Natsumi moe mode It is good to see her finally perked up and no longer her former broken self - she indeed deserves every bit of the happiness

Though my preference to Mifuyu's route may be due to my fetish for Sadistic blondes.
Any chance of you reading Gore Screaming Show or minDead Blood?

Got sidetracked from my Shin Koihime Musou playing and started up Tapestry. I've been impressed with it so far with the wide screen HD, manga-style text bubbles and multiple perspectives to tell one coherent story. It's full of comedy, but the drama will probably come soon enough. Hopefully I'll manage to finish this before the rush of March releases.
Spoiler for Sacchin! >w<b:
I've posted a list of the ones that interested me on my blog and it's... a lot. And most of them are high quality too. Amazing OPs. I don't even know where to start >_< Delicious fryable heart!!!

Aww, need some camphor oil for your burn, Sterling01? Wind was released nearly three years ago. But I suppose like a hot ex-girlfriend, you just can't get enough of us. Act your age (31, if it's even true), grow up, and maybe come up with a better attempt at trolling. Actually, the 4chan thread is gut-bustin' hilarious. The staff is having a great time reading kiddie posts.
LeviathanDarkly - It's probably not a good idea to link to the download because it's against AnimeSuki policy. The double standard lives on!

Dropping today is N.O.R.E.s "Google That," one of the most memorable tech references in recent rap memory since Rick Ross said he was "selling dope straight off the iPhone." Watch out though, because it might get stuck in your head with a chorus that repeats the phrase synonymous with Internet search more dozens of times. (Bonus: it also includes a Game of Thrones reference).
All three rappers have ties to some pretty recognizable crews. Raekwon is a member of the Wu Tang Clan, while Styles P is a part of the Ruff Ryders and N.O.R.E. was one half of the now-defunct Capone and Noreaga.
"Google That" comes off N.O.R.E.'s latest mixtape, "Crack On Steroids," which hit the Web earlier this month. Larry Page, here's your new ringtone. [World Star Hip Hop]

Los Angeles: Singer Cheryl Cole and US dancer Tre Holloway have reportedly ended their relationship.
Cole has ended her 14-month romance with Holloway because their hectic work schedules and the distance between them took a toll on their relationship, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"Cheryl and Tre had a brilliant year together, but the pressures of long distance dating eventually became too much," a source told the Daily Mirror newspaper.
"Although Cheryl does a lot of work in America, often it is in New York, which is still a good six-hour flight away. The time difference, plus the hectic nature of Cheryl's working schedule, eventually took their toll.
"Cheryl realised that if they weren't going to live together, realistically, the relationship, just wasn't going to go anywhere," the source added.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks sold off on Tuesday as the dumping of momentum plays, such as Twitter Inc. and economically sensitive stocks, including some bank stocks, spreads to broader markets. Financials and consumer discretionary stocks were hardest hit on the S&P 500.
Even deal news, generally a positive for the market, failed to lift prices. The calendar also didn't provide its usual support; Tuesdays on the whole have been the strongest part of the week this year.
The S&P 500 SPX, +0.65% ended the day at session lows, down 16.94 points, or 0.9%, at 1,867.72, with the financial and consumer-discretionary sectors leading the decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.59% dropped 129.53 or 0.8% to 16,401.02, with 27 of 30 members of the index closing in the red.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.60% finished the day 57.30 points, or 1.4%, lower at 4,080.76.
Read the recap of MarketWatch's live blog of today's stock-market action.
Joe Peta, managing director at Novus, a financial technology company, says the selloff on the Nasdaq Composite was prompted by two specific events: Expiration of the lock-up in Twitter Inc. shares and public denouncement of the Athenahealth stock by David Einhorn at the Ira Sohn investment conference.
"There is a clear rotation out of stocks that accumulated froth – namely biotech, Web 2.0 and social network companies. This earning season showed that investors care about profits and unprofitable companies were sold off to bring their PE ratios to more normal levels," he added.
"Today's trading is very atypical. There is very little volume, and deal news, which usually a positive for markets, is being ignored," said Kim Caughey Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital.
The sole U.S. economic report covered the trade deficit, which narrowed in March to $40.4 billion, slightly above the consensus of $40 billion.
Whole Foods Markets tumbles on earnings miss
Whole Foods Market Inc. US:WFM shares slumped 10.3% in aftermarket action, after the grocer cuts outlook for sales and profits.
Groupon Inc GRPN, +0.81% shares fell 3.3% in extended trading hours on top of 2.5% losses on Tuesday after the company reported a wider loss than expected.
Shares in Walt Disney Company DIS, -0.15% rose 2.2% after quarterly results came above Wall Street's expectations.
Twitter Inc. TWTR, +0.94% shares tumbled 15% as hundreds of millions of shares held by insiders became available for sale in the open market.
Tesla Motors TSLA, +0.57% shares lost 4% ahead of the earnings results scheduled for Wednesday after the closing bell. Read also: Momentum stocks are taking a beating.
In deal news, Merck MRK, +1.29% agreed to sell its consumer-products business, including the allergy-treatment Claritin and nasal decongestant Afrin, to German drug maker Bayer AG BAYN, -1.17% for $14.2 billion. Shares fell 2.5%. Also read: Why the deal isn't helping Merck shares.
Office Depot Inc. shares ODP, +0.00% surged 16% to $4.83, after the electronics retailer raised its outlook for 2014 operating profit and said it plans to close at least 400 U.S. stores by the end of 2016.
Shares of Athenahealth ATHN, +0.06% fell 14%, after David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital said at a conference Monday that the health-information technology firm is "overpriced" and "caught up in a bubble."
American International Group AIG, +0.37% shares dropped 4.1% after the insurer reported a substantial fall in first-quarter profit late Monday.
Discovery Communications, Inc. DISCA, +0.79% shares dropped 3.9% after disappointing first-quarter results. The owner of Discovery Channel and Animal Planet said profit edge down 0.4% as higher expenses cut into revenues.
European stocks end lower
European stocks reversed earlier gains and closed mostly lower.
On Tuesday, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said the European Central Bank should immediately cut its benchmark interest rate, to end a period of too-low inflation in the euro zone.
Asian stocks were slightly higher, with Australia up after the country's central bank held interest rates steady. Markets in Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong were closed.
In the commodities markets Tuesday, gold GCM4, +0.00% futures fell slightly. Crude for June delivery CLM4, -2.48% gained slightly but still remained below the $100 a barrel level. Meanwhile, the pound GBPUSD, +0.8775% bought $1.6970 and traded at levels not seen since at least 2009 after strong U.K. services data.

Former Congressman Tom Tancredo to Speak Tuesday• April 11, 2011 Share:
Former presidential candidate and five-term U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo will speak on the Wabash campus Tuesday night. Tancredo is known as an outspoken and often controversial speaker on immigration reform.
Tancredo will speak on immigration at 8 p.m. in Hays 104. The Wabash Conservative Union is presenting the talk.
The Colorado politician served five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives and ran for president in 2008. He ran as the Constitution Party's candidate for governor in 2010 in the state of Colorado. He lost the race but finished ahead of the Republican Party candidate.
Tancredo was often a lightning rod on the campaign trail. He kicked off his campaign in 2007 and made national news after a small town gathering in Iowa. Tancredo suggested any attack on the U.S. homeland by Islamic extremists should be answered by bombing Islam holy sites in Mecca and Medina.

On a related note, if any of you follow the Latimer line, there is supposed to be a reunion occurring in September in Tennessee somewhere near the area Col. Jonathan and his sons settled after the American Revolution. I can get some more details on it if anyone is interested!

Seriously Upside-Down
By Gary Foreman
Violet has a lot of company. Lots of people are 'upside-down' in their auto
loans. That means that they owe more than the car is worth. In fact, about 30%
of all new cars financed include an upside-down trade-in. The average amount
added to the new car loan was nearly $3,800.
The problem can be painful. When you owe more than your vehicle is worth the
dealer and lender holds most of the cards. They know that you'd have a hard time
selling your car 'by owner' since that would require coming up with a lot of
Plus, the lender is going to want a higher interest rate on the new loan. That's
because the loan is for more than the car is worth. If they did have to
repossess they would be far short of the outstanding loan balance.
Finally, the extra debt means that you'll be upside-down for a longer period of
time in your new vehicle.
Auto loans have changed to mask the problem. Today the average car loan is over
five years. And, it is getting longer.
So let's look at Violet's situation. She's big-time upside-down in her Yukon.
Plus she's struggling with the hefty monthly payments. And, she'd like to get
into something less expensive like a minivan.
Check out her present loan. Using a auto financing calculator on Bankrate.com
she probably has a note with a 10% interest rate. Three years of payments of
$838 would pay off a note of $26,000.
Could she trade for a minivan and roll the unpaid $13,000 onto her new loan? Not
very likely. At least not with a reasonable payment.
Suppose that she found a $20,000 minivan. She'd be financing $33,000. The van
will lose approximately 35% in the first two years (source: Bankrate.com). So
two years from now the finance company is going to have a $13,000 van as
collateral for a $30,000 loan! They won't do that for 10% interest. The risk is
simply too great.
Violet has gone beyond the point where she can reasonably roll the balance onto
a new loan. And, even if she could find financing she'd be upside-down in her
minivan until it rusted away!
Can Violet reduce her payment? To do that she'd need to lower her interest rate
or increase the length of the loan or both.
In Violet's case, she's probably not going to get a lower interest rate. In part
because only half of the loan is collateralized (i.e. the vehicle is only worth
half the amount that's owed on it).
But she might be able to extend the life of the loan. If she were to go to six
years the payment would drop to $481 per month. The best way to do that is to
approach her current lender. They might let her do that for two reasons. They'll
collect twice as much in interest ($8,680 vs. $4,202) and they don't want to
repossess Violet's SUV and take the loss.
A second possible solution would be to use a different source to raise money to
pay off the vehicle loan. Two possibilities are either a homeowner's line of
credit or a 401k loan.
In both cases she'll get a reasonable interest rate. Possibly lower than her
current 10%. She'll also be able to extend the loan beyond the current three
year period which will also lower her payments. Before borrowing against her
home or her 401k, Violet needs to find out about those types of loans so she
understands the risks involved.
What can we all learn from Violet's experience? A number of valuable lessons.
Longer auto loans can be dangerous. Violet points out why: circumstances change.
New car loans can last up to 72 months. No one can reasonably predict job,
health and family circumstances six years into the future.
Car payments that are too high for your budget can be very expensive. If you
struggle to make the car payments you'll probably shift other expenses to your
credit card. And, that can be very expensive debt. Up to 30%!
Rolling over debt from your current vehicle onto your next car is dangerous.
Especially if it's more than a about 10% of your new car price.
Hopefully Violet will be able to ride out this rough stretch of road and will
stay right-side-up in future vehicles.

MIAMI � Florida wildlife officials say a man tried to trade a live alligator for beer at a Miami convenience store.
State Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino says the man received a citation for illegally capturing and trying to sell the gator.
Pino tells WTVJ-TV that the man trapped the 4-foot-long gator at a nearby park and brought it to the store Dec. 10. When he proposed to trade the animal for a 12-pack of beer, the store clerk called authorities.
Pino says the alligator was �pretty much in good shape.� The animal was released back into the wild.

AMLAH, on that note, you should list what the SOD says about that.
Issue 2 is out indeed...
and Punchy we sold hundreds of it with store and people ask me when three is coming out on a daily basis... I can think of no one who read it and said it wasn't great, most people use words like "special", "brilliant" and "unbelievable" to describe it.
by ****** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 10:45 am
In Punchy logic if he hasn't read it, it can't be any good. If his shop had had Four Eyes the week we read it, he wouldn't be so bitter about it.
by Punchy » Sat Apr 25, 2009 10:46 am
This is probably true.
by guitarsmashley » Sat Apr 25, 2009 12:30 pm
I reviewed it late and it was one of the best single issue artistically and creatively I've read in a long time.
by Punchy » Sat Apr 25, 2009 1:55 pm
I'll probably get the trade, but no way is it better than Local or Fell.
by thefourthman » Sat Apr 25, 2009 2:04 pm
maybe better than Local, will not know until it is a few more issues in, probably not better than Fell...
Trade will require more issues... :p Supposedly it will be bi-monthly through 6 which means 3 will be out next month, then it will go on hiatus for a bit so that they can get a few in the can and give it a normal schedule...
by guitarsmashley » Sat Apr 25, 2009 3:40 pm
I still need to read all of local but one issue was better than Fell.
by ****** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 4:36 pm
I have no expectations of seeing a Four Eyes collection before 2010, but I really hope they copy the format from the Mice Templar hardcover.
by Daringd » Sat Apr 25, 2009 8:29 pmWOW! Ghost Rider was really good this week. I haven't been reading the series except for the WWH tie in. But I guess Aaron is taking names a kicking ass and the art was great. Well worth my 3 bucks great pick Punchy.
by Starlord » Sun Apr 26, 2009 12:56 amGhost Rider #34
Let me preface this with the fact that I have no interest in Ghost Rider. Never have. Never will. Other than possible cross-overs and occasional guest appearances in other books, I've never in my life picked up an actual Ghost Rider book. It just doesn't interest me.
That being said, this was a gem of an issue. Perfect pick, in my opinion. You didn't really need to know any background of this series to enjoy this single issue story. The Highwayman was a great antagonist with a totally Stephen King style origin. It also reminded me of that classic creepy movie "Duel" that Steven Spielburg directed back in the seventies.
The artwork worked really well with the story, as did the inks and colors.
All in all, I can't find a single thing wrong with this story. I probably won't pick this book up in the future, as I said, no real interest in the character. Still, this was a gem of a story and one I'm glad was chosen. A perfect pick. Thank you, Punch.

by Punchy » Sun Apr 26, 2009 9:13 amYou really should pick up the trades of Jason Aaron's run Starlord, it's as good, if not better than this issue, more epic in scope.

Trials & Tribulations Part Two: On The Road Again
Written by Jason Aaron
Art by Tony Moore and Dave McCaig
I love Ghost Rider, it's a simple concept, but Jason Aaron is really the first person to make 'SKELETON BIKER WHO'S HEAD IS ON FIRE WHO'S MOTORCYCLE IS ALSO ON FIRE' as awesome as he sounds. So far we've had machine gun nurses, nunchuck nuns, a dude with an eye for a head and Shark Rider, with the end in sight, it's only going to get more mental. I was slightly disappointed with this issue though, it's basically an issue long fight between Ghost Rider Danny Ketch, and The Highwayman, an undead trucker who drives the country feeding souls to the hordes of hell in the back of his lorry. This should be awesome, and in many ways, it is awesome, it's very awesome, but the fight doesn't feel organic at all. Ketch sees The Highwayman doing something obviously evil, fight starts, fight carries on for the rest of the issue. There's no real set-up to the fight besides from a brief backstory of The Highwayman, it just feels like 'Here's character A, here's character B... FIGHT!'
That's not to say the issue isn't full of awesome moments, mostly Moore's art. Ketch's transformation into the Ghost Rider is one of the best pieces of sequential artwork of the year so far, it's actually gripping. He's fantastic with expressions as well, just look at Highwayman's face just before Ketch attacks, Moore puts in little details like a tiny rock falling on Ketch's skull just before he's hit with the Black Rig or the bumper stickers on the school bus ("I climbed Spragg the Living Hill?" Genius)
Overall, it was a good issue of Ghost Rider, far superior to most comics out there, but I felt it lacking in certain areas and was slightly disappointed.
Story - 7
Art - 10
Overall - 8
by malcolm reynolds » Sun Apr 26, 2009 10:44 pmFour eyes is a great book, but it's hard to judge from just the first two issues. I'm too impatient to wait for the trade either.

The first time I watched this anime, I watched it in a random order cause I got kinda confusing about which order I should have watched it. I ended up with watching the last episode before the episode before the last one. >.<
In my option, watching the chronological episodes first, and then watch the others.

when i first watched the series, i watched it in Kyon order (aired on tv order) and then when i was bored i went back and watched it in the order that Haruhi said in the previews and i have to say that Kyon's made better use of the 14 episodes. Haruhi's order finished the story after the first seven episodes and it made the rest seem like fillers.

I voted chronological, but in truth my stance is to watch it in aired order first, and then watch it chronologically 5 bazillion more times.
I all honesty, I think being unable to appreciate both orders reflects negatively on one's attention span.
The weakness of the aired order is, of course, the confusion generated by not having a story laid out in front of you. People may get frustrated and stop watching before they get to the "best" parts.
The "weakness" of the chronological order is that plotwise, this order is top-heavy. All the action happens in the first 6 episodes, and people don't have the attention spans to sit through the rest of the show.
Well? In fact, for plot, Haruhi is a top-heavy series in general. The thing that Haruhi does really well is produce compelling characters (hidden under a heavily metafictional surface). The series is about character development, and about the only way you'll get to see any of that in the anime is by watching it in chronological order.
The aired order is a mindfuck and a half, but you can't really be confused after you've seen the whole thing once, can you? The aired order enhances the viewing experience by playing with the tension of keeping key information away from you, but that's the only effect it has. All the humour is still there in the chronological order, and if you say that the rest of the episodes other than Yuutsu I-VI are filler and you wouldn't have the motivation to watch them chronologically, well, you obviously only care about those six episodes so why don't you just not watch the others at all?
So I mean yeah, the aired order is best for a first time viewing, 'cause the tricks it plays with your mind while you find out about this exhilirating new world are beautiful. But that's a one time thing. 'Cause that's not even what the story is about at all. After you learn about the unlimited possibilities at the fingertips of these characters, you come to love them for the way they act within the boundaries imposed by those possibilities. The anachronology is a gimmick; well executed, to be sure, but not where the real value lies.
'Course, this means I have even less tolerance for people who watch it in chronological order in the first place and then call the last episode boring.
Just one final thing. Don't call that final episode a "transition" episode. 'Cause guess what, it'll possibly be later chronologically than the entirety of the second season as well--at the very least it'll be later than half of it. It wasn't just a throwaway filler or something "thrown in to piss off people trying to watch it chronologically"--it was specially written for the anime by the series' creator, and as such is inherently a better ending for the anime than Yuutsu VI.

I vote for chronological too.
I understand the gimmick of watching it in broadcast order, but that's because they assume you will buy the DVDs and watch them again in chronological order.
How do you tell someone who does not know at all what to expect, what episode order to show it in? Take the baseball episode for example: in the broadcast episode, Koizumi is suddenly introduced without any background what-so-ever, you do not know what Nagato's abilities are and you are clueless as to why all the strange phenomenon is happening. And you do not know why the characters are so eager to please Haruhi (because they don't know about the sealed space business)
Level of appreciation -100.
Broadcast order works only because you then will go back and watch them in chronological order and will find out small things that make you laugh.
But if I were to find a friend who I assume have not heard of Haruhi ever (they exist - in my Anime club), and I was to show them Haruhi, for their sake, I would show it in a modified broadcast order - only because Someday In the Rain is quite an anti-climatic episode and it is of my faith that series should end with a big climax.
I might show everything in Chronological order, except I'd put Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi VI until last, or Live Alive until last.

I watched them in Chronological order first, proboly why i think Someday in the Rain is one of my fav episodes heh. But for someone starting out i recommend Broadcast order, you might not get some joke but when you go back and re-watch the series you'll get all the jokes.

Watch it in T.V. order please. I think one of the reasons I loved the anime was because of the shuffle. You don't know what's going on (assuming you don't read Suzumiya) and the last episode answers all the questions. I would've been really dissapointed if the Rain episode was premiered last. I wouldn't have such a lasting appeal as I do now. The ending of the 14th episode made me feel really sad. I wanted more than 14 eps so badly.

I have to say that I immensely preferred watching the anime chronologically. I think the main advantage the broadcast version has is that "Melancholy Part VI" feels more like a proper conclusion than "Someday in the Rain" (even though I find the latter episode to still be nice and soothing regardless). But the scrambled order felt more like a gimmick than anything else, one that I could do with or without. Even though all of the main action happens in the Melancholy arc, it doesn't get any less entertaining from "Boredom" anyways.
So really, I would recommend the chronological order. The broadcast order usually requires repeated viewings in order to catch everything you've missed.

At a friend's recommendation, I just finished watching the first six chronological episodes. I do feel a bit cheated by doing this, but...!
Taken as they are, the "Melancholy" arc is a powerful series on its own. However, #6 really does feel like a conclusion (since it was written to be the series conclusion), and thus there seems to be little point in watching the rest after that.
And that is why I feel cheated by it. I am now starting over watching the original broadcast order.

I vote for TV order ´cause I belive that this is something that makes this anime different and is´tn hard the chronologically watching in this mode, all the thing is to pay attention to the details....
and I have a question what is that of the Ep 0??? never heard about it

Hmm.. for me i think watching it in broadcast order allows you to better enjoy the series in its whole. Then you should rewatch it in Chronological order to understand the little things you couldn't understand the first time around

Command of the Revenants
I'll take what I got on the DVDs. The first time through, it really didn't stand out. I couldn't understand too well, and I swear I did get lost one time. It actually made me go, "It was awesome, but meh," and moved on, thinking it was just some popular production.
When I decided to get the DVDs, THAT was when I became a fan. Watching it on the DVDs, I understood it so much better. Despite the "anti-climatic" nature of Someday in the Rain, I think it did something different too: It ended the series in a calm manner, rather than the traditional "OH WOW BIG FINISH YAY!" Both me and my sister loved it, and she didn't even see the original order. I actually would just recommend that way.
Have to agree on the General. Broadcast order does just feel like a gimmick. I can see why it was done. The last of the "Melancholy" episodes was that traditional, giant climatic moment. So I'll also agree on the idea of watching it chronologically, but saving that one for last.

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association's (NEMA), Rosslyn, Va., Electroindustry Business Confidence Index (EBCI) for current North American conditions rebounded in January, rising nearly 9 points to 57.1. The index is derived from responses to a survey circulated to senior executives of NEMA member companies, and a value above 50 indicates that more respondents reported that the business environment improved from the previous month than reported that it worsened. The index had fallen below 50 in December for the first time in five months, but this latest reading suggests that the modest improvements in conditions that characterized much of the second half of 2009 have persisted into early 2010.
Moreover, the EBCI for future North American conditions pushed further upward in January while posting its second consecutive monthly gain. Rising 14.3 points to 78.6, the index recorded an eleventh straight reading above 50, and reached its highest level since December 2004. This result reflects widespread sentiment that business conditions will improve over the next six months.

Paolo Di Canio made the perfect start to life as a manager as Swindon saw off Crewe 3-0 at the County Ground in their bid to win automatic promotion from npower League Two.
Oliver Risser scored a stunning volley in the 63rd minute after Callum Kennedy's penalty on the stroke of half-time gave them the lead. Defender Aden Flint wrapped up the win with a header from a corner with 13 minutes left.
Adam Virgo's 85th-minute penalty denied AFC Wimbledon a happy Football League debut as Bristol Rovers won 3-2 at Kingsmeadow.
Scott McGleish and Matt Harrold put the Pirates in charge but the Dons, promoted to the fourth tier via the Conference play-offs, looked on course for a point thanks to goals from skipper Jamie Stuart and substitute Charles Ademeno. However, Stuart handled in the box to give Virgo the chance to win it.
The League's other debutants, Crawley, conceded an injury-time equaliser to draw 2-2 at Port Vale, having been reduced to 10 men following John Dempster's dismissal with 13 minutes to go. Steve Evans side forged ahead in the 39th minute through Tyrone Barnett but Marc Richards' free-kick three minutes later drew Vale level.
Kyle McFadzean restored Crawley's lead in the 51st minute but the pressure told on the 10 men as Louis Dodds' close-range strike drew the Staffordshire men back on terms again.
Relegated Dagenham & Redbridge made a winning start as Medy Elito's strike on the hour was enough to see off Macclesfield at the Moss Rose, while Plymouth put aside their off-field problems to rescue a point at Shrewsbury thanks to Carl Fletcher's last-minute strike. James Collins had turned in Mark Wright's 69th-minute cross to put the Shrews in front.
Gillingham were 1-0 winners at home to Cheltenham despite the sending-off of Luke Rooney seven minutes from time. Lewis Montrose's 26th-minute effort proved to be enough for the Kent side. Aldershot won 2-1 at Bradford, with a 38th-minute Robbie Threlfall own goal decisive for Dean Holdsworth's men.
Barnet claimed a 1-0 victory at Morecambe thanks to Mark Byrne's 76th-minute strike, while Burton were held 2-2 at Torquay after Justin Richards' brace early in the second period appeared to have set them on the way to a win.
Lewis Grabban's 48th-minute effort earned Rotherham a 1-0 win at home to Oxford, Bilel Mohsni gave Southend a winning start at home to Hereford and Northampton and Accrington finished goalless.

Tribune plans to split into 2 companies
CHICAGO (AP) — Tribune Co. says it wants to split its broadcasting and publishing businesses into two companies.
Tribune says the move will let one company take advantage of growth in broadcasting while the other focuses on newspapers, where revenue has been falling.
Chicago-based Tribune owns 23 TV stations and cable network WGN America, along with the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and other newspapers. Earlier this month, it announced plans to buy Local TV Holdings and its 19 television stations for $2.73 billion.
The newspapers would be spun off into an independent company to be called Tribune Publishing Co.
The remaining company would include Tribune's local television stations; WGN radio and cable networks; its television production, digital and media services ventures; and its interests in other companies and real estate.

The nine remaining teams journey to the American West and take part in challenges relating to 19th-century explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark
The remaining eight teams become immersed in the history of the American Revolution as they attempt to find the third of seven artifacts in the treasure hunt.
The seven remaining teams explore some of the secrets of the Underground Railroad.
So this "map" is Baltimore Harbor right?
A sighting at the bottom of the page here, relayed by Enrico, that mentions the Geniuses in Paris asking for help: they had to find a "statue of someone who'd be considered a friend to Americans" (probably mini-me) and "a bridge trimmed in gold."
The NBC boards are a little eccentric sometimes--talk about Rosicrucians, Masons, etc.--and the conversation can devolve into insult matches. But occasionally there's some good work. This poster has some evidence that seems to bolster Chateau's call on Baltimore (I should have been googling "battle of baltimore" instead of "baltimore harbor" all along ). Here's the historical map and here's the mashup. There's some areas around the right border that don't match, but overall it's very close.
The IMDB entry has been updated, showing a couple of new cities: Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. Still no luck with Mansefield.
My guess is that the Grad Girls decide that they just can't go on with Kristine injured and all and opt out and TPTB re-instate the Brown team to take their place. Anyway, we have the Browns and all the other teams except for the Grad Girls appearing somewhere in the promo.
It's out there somewhere, a treasure that will become the richest prize in television history, but its location is shrouded in mystery and guarded by a secret society with an ancient past.

The music is meant to convey a feeling of repetitive gloominess as though a person is stuck in a rut or a routine that they can't escape.

For the first time in several years, the Toll Gate football team opened up the regular season with a non-league game against someone other than cross-town rival Warwick Vets. The substitute was an up-and-coming Cranston East team that's poised to be a contender in Division I.
The Titans knew it would be a challenge.
It was.
The 'Bolts raced out of the gates with four first-quarter touchdowns and never looked back en route to a 47-12 victory. For the Titans, two late touchdowns were the biggest positives to take away. Getting a big challenge – and responding to it – wasn't such a bad thing either.
"I thought we did some good things," said Toll Gate head coach Matt Mancuso. "We ran the ball pretty well. But the big thing was we stayed together as a team. There was no finger-pointing. Our focus is staying together and that's really important for us."
Doing that in the face of the 'Bolts is a good sign, because the Titans aren't likely to face another team on East's level until Thanksgiving.
The 'Bolts scored on the fifth play of their first possession. From there, they scored on three of their next five offensive plays and led 28-0 before the Titans could even catch their breath.
Alex Corvese had two touchdown passes, one to Marquem Monroe and another to Marven Beauvais. Corvese also ran for a score, as did Monroe.
"They're a lot better than I thought they were," Mancuso said. "You couldn't tell on film whether they were that good or the other team was that bad. They looked really, really good. They're big up front and they're fast."
The Titans were hoping to catch East off guard with a no-huddle attack and an unbalanced line. It worked briefly, as Jose Javier picked up three yards on the first play of the game and East jumped offsides on the second play. But after that, Javier was stuffed for a short gain on second down and Chris Durand got nowhere on third-and-1. The Titans punted and four plays later, East's touchdown parade was underway.
"We were optimistic all week long," Mancuso said. "We wanted to come out and run a little no-huddle, catch them off-balance. But it was the same kind of thing when we scrimmaged some D-I teams. We did some good things, but they always got big plays and field position hurt us."
The Titans picked up some solid gains here and there but mostly struggled against East's first-team defense. Against East's second team – a unit that's more like what Toll Gate will face in league play – the Titans found their footing a little more.
After East scored on its first possession of the second half, the Titans answered with their best drive of the day. They marched 58 yards in 10 plays, converting a key fourth down along the way and capping the drive with a 12-yard touchdown run by Dave Babcock on the last play of the third quarter.
On the first play of East's next drive, Toll Gate's Matthew Cullen pounced on a fumble to give the Titans the ball at the East 15. Javier picked up 6 yards on first down and Durand scampered into the end zone from 9 yards out to make it 41-12.
"I think we did a decent job with stuff," Mancuso said. "We moved the ball a little bit at times, but when we needed a big play, we didn't get it or we made a mistake. We've got little things to clean up. They're not big things, so that's good."
The Titans also played well in the trenches, despite East's size. That's a good sign, considering the team's struggles in that department last year.
"The line is definitely playing better than last year," Mancuso said. "They're doing a good job."
East added its final touchdown when Monroe returned a kickoff for a score in the fourth quarter. Toll Gate answered with another long drive but couldn't punch it into the end zone this time.
With their solid performance in the second half, the Titans finished with 124 yards rushing. Quarterback Aaron Travers, making his first varsity start, completed one pass for 9 yards.
The Titans will now get ready for a familiar opponent, as they open league play with Warwick Vets. That game is scheduled for Saturday at 12 p.m. at Toll Gate.
"I'm looking forward to getting ready for Vets next week," Mancuso said. "That's our biggest focus."

Jimmy Z Homes
Welcome To Jimmy Z Homes!
We Are Dedicated To Finding You A New Home
We are not realtors selling someone else's house, nor are we bankers or loan brokers who get paid to find you a loan. We actually own of several lovely homes which are available for purchase. Since we own the homes, many times (depending on your circumstances) we are willing to finance all or part of the purchase ourselves. All the normal rules concerning credit, debt ratio, proof of income and yes, even down payments are thrown out the window. Since we own the homes, we can be very creative with the financing and structure it to fit your needs.
So, here's what it comes down to. If you're truly interested in buying a home of your own, I'll give you several options after this message. If we have a house you like and you have something we can work with, you can be in a home in less than 30 days. Just be aware that if you have very bad credit and no money - unfortunately we probably can't help you. On the other hand, if you have at least fair credit but little or no money or if you have some money but have lost your credit, we can probably help you buy a home now. Please let us look at all the facts before you decide that you can't qualify.
Remember, we own the homes. We can do whatever you and we agree to make it work. You can't imagine how many folks are now in a home of their own because they let us work our magic. Most thought they couldn't qualify and could never buy a home. They were wrong! Keep reading to see some of our most frequently asked questions.
You Have Damaged Credit ? Can You Buy A Home?
Of course! You'll be glad to learn that you actually can buy a home with damaged credit. In fact, it's quite common. To do so often requires a flexible seller who is willing to help finance part of your purchase price. You see, there are a lot of lenders who specialize in financing homes for folks with credit problems. To reduce their risk, they may simply reduce the amount they loan. This means the buyer must have a big down payment or the seller must be willing to finance the difference on a second mortgage. Getting you a loan is generally not a problem, however finding a flexible seller who doesn't need all their cash immediately, may be more difficult.
Is Your Debt Ratio Too High? Just How Much Home Can You Afford?
You may be surprised to learn how much of a home you can afford. Generally accepted standards say that your new house payment added to all your other monthly payments, should not exceed about 40% of your gross (that's before income tax) for you and your spouse. Keep in mind that does not include items like insurance, clothing, food, utilities, entertainment, etc. You should add only those items with fixed payments such as cars, furniture, credit cards, mortgage, student loans, etc… If an item doesn't show on your credit report, it probably won't count against you as a debt.
If You Can't Easily Verify Your Income, What Options Are Available?
If you feel you can't buy a home, because you can't verify your income, think again. Some of our happy customers felt the same way before contacting us, but they found themselves in the home of their dreams within 30 days. There are several little known ways to verify income and many loans are available that don't require it. In fact income verification is one of the easiest problems to fix in the home buying process.
If You Have Nothing To Put Down, Can You Really Get Financed?
It may surprise you to know we've helped other folks buy a home of their dreams with little or no money down. Conventional wisdom says it can't be done but conventional wisdom is almost always wrong. Frankly if you have no money and very bad credit, there's nothing we can do for you. However if your credit in a reasonably good, and you have provable income, we have several programs available for you now. These programs are brand new and not widely known and are designed to help good folks buy a home with little or no money.
What About Our Lease Option Program?
Are you tired of making monthly rental payments? Think of all the money you've wasted in rent over the last few years. What do you have to show for it? Homeownership may seem too many to be an impossible dream. Saving enough money for a down payment while paying rent or trying to secure a mortgage with a low paying job or bad credit history, are only a few of the obstacles that make buying a home seem so difficult. Wouldn't it be great if some of these monthly payments could have gone toward the actual purchase price of your home?
Now they can! With our unique "Lease Option" program you can realize your dreams. The "Lease Option" program allows you to lease and occupy a home while at the same time building equity towards the sale price that we set the day you sign the "Lease Option" agreement. This way you enjoy the pricing and value of ownership today even though you won't finally purchase the home until later. Plus, you also know that the work you do in the home will not be wasted when the lease is over.
Best of all, through this program, while you're living in your home of the future, you're also building equity, improving your credit, and putting yourself in a position where home ownership is not only possible, but easy.
This unique program truly makes homeownership a possibility for anyone with something to work with. To see homes that are currently available

Do You Have a Downpayment, But Want To Get Owner Financing?
If you're looking to buy a home and feel that owner financing is your best option, you've come to the right place. We have several homes available and since we own them, we are free to work out special financing arrangements to suit your needs. We can provide owner financing for all or part of the purchase price, regardless of your credit, debt ratio, income verification, and other factors that prevent deserving folks from getting bank financing. However, this will require a down payment to make it possible.
Simply put, the more you have to work with, the easier it will be to get you in the home quickly, sometimes in just a couple of days, and under great terms. If you have a good down payment, the best thing to do is contact us now or call us to discuss your needs. To get a list of homes to tour,
click here
, and even if we don't have one available that you like, we'll add your name to our VIP list and we'll find the one as soon as possible.
Don't procrastinate because beautiful homes like these, which you can buy with owner financing, are rare indeed. If we didn't own them, we couldn't offer such easy terms and obviously the demand is bigger than the supply. If you're serious about buying now, your best option is to start now. It costs nothing and there's no obligation. Just

Remember, regardless of whatever kept your from buying a home in the past, don't let it stop you now! You're talking to the owner directly, not a realtor. We're free to work it out between ourselves without banks dictating the rules.

SAN PEDRO – Authorities today released the name of 51-year-old man found dead on a San Pedro beach.
Authorities were notified about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday that a body had been discovered near the 3700 block of Stephen M. White Drive, said Los Angeles police Officer Norma Eisenman.
The preliminary investigation indicated that the man, identified by a coroner's official as Albert Andrew Downs Jr. of San Pedro, may have died of natural causes, Eisenman said.
Downs was found face down in shallow water at the water line, said Los Angeles County coroner's Lt. Joe Bale.
An autopsy to determine the cause of death would likely be completed within the next two days, Bale said.

Al-Qassim Province also spelled Al-Qaseem, Al-Qasim, Qassim, or Gassim, is one of the thirteen administrative provinces of Saudi Arabia. Located at the heart of the country, and almost in the center of the Arabian Peninsula. It has a population of 1,016,756 and an area of 65,000 km². It is known to be the "alimental basket" of the country, for its agricultural asset.
It is the seventh most populated province in the country after the province of Jizan. It has more than 400 cities, towns, villages, and Bedouin settlements, ten of which are recognized as governorates. Its capital city is Buraydah, which is inhabited by approximately 49% of the region's total population. The governor of the province since 1992 is Prince Faisal bin Bandar.
There is not much information known about Al Qassim the province in the times of Pre-Islamic Arabia. Unaizah was repeatedly mentioned as a desert watering hole in the poems of Imru Al Qais (the famous Arabian poet). Moreover, AlJiwa, which is about 60 km north of Unzaizah, was mentioned by the heroic Absi poet Antarah bin Shaddad.
Thank you

BOSTON — The U.S. House of Representatives has rejected an amendment to the farm bill that would have made commercial fishermen eligible for the Department of Agriculture's emergency disaster loan program.
The amendment introduced by Massachusetts Rep. John Tierney was defeated 215 to 211 on Thursday. It would have allowed fishermen to apply for the loan program, just as farmers or ranchers do.
Tierney said 23 Republicans backed the amendment, but it was defeated because many Republicans are unwilling to roll back automatic spending now cuts being implemented in various programs.
The Northeast fisheries were declared a disaster last year, but no aid has followed.
Tierney noted an amendment similar to his was included in the Senate version of the bill. He said he hopes the close House vote helps it survive final negotiations on the bill.

'Fox and Friends' Lands on the Naughty List By Putting Santa on the Spot [VIDEO]
If you had the chance to talk one-on-one with Santa Claus, would you use that opportunity to entangle him in your militant and utterly insane crusade against the phrase "happy holidays"?
Of course you would -- if you're one of the hosts of 'Fox and Friends.'
In this interview, we're presented with a man who can only be described as jolly. His Santa laugh is spot-on perfect. He's spent much of his adult life bringing holiday cheer to children and festive party-goers everywhere.
He wrote a book and wants to make a buck, but hey -- this is America. Nobody faults him for that.
So what would possess these phony and bitter show hosts to talk him into a corner about political correctness and the evolution of society? Why would they focus on their made up "war" instead of the true meaning of Christmas, which is what this sweet Santa wrote about?
We're thinking it had to do with a desire for some lumps of coal. (Coal is a commodity these days.)
They make this poor Santa take a stand against saying "happy holidays," which he actually manages to do in a most graceful way by saying, "I wish people would always have happy holidays, but I tend to be a little bit more specific. I can't find any reference where Santa's ever said anything other than 'Merry Christmas,' so I like to wish people a merry Christmas."
Sadly, they twist this by including a graphic featuring the words, "End the 'war' on Christmas. Pro Santa won't say 'happy holidays.'"
This poor guy isn't worried about a war on Christmas, he just likes making kids smile. He even seemed more amused than concerned by the fact that paranoia has run so rampant that some Santas can't even have kids on their laps anymore and now have to say "Ha Ha Ha" instead of "Ho Ho Ho."
But as usual, Fox isn't focused on any of that, only their own bizarre worldview. Maybe the hosts should gift each other with shoehorns -- it'll make getting their tinfoil hats on and off ever so much easier.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT freshman Max Ockner threw 8 strikeouts in 3 innings to secure the win, as the Engineers beat out non-conference opponent Salem State College, 7-5, Wednesday on Briggs Field. With the win, MIT's record evens to 10-10 (3-7 NEWMAC) while the Vikings level out at 11-11 (1-3 MASCAC).
MIT and Salem State had only previously met once on the baseball field. The Engineers surely entered the game carrying a grudge after their 14-1 loss to the Vikings in the first round of the 1989 ECAC D-III Championship Tournament, despite the fact that many players from both teams were not yet born.
The Engineers opened the scoring in the bottom of the first, as MIT's Brian Doyle was hit by a pitch and stole second before junior William Blackman singled down the right line, bringing Doyle home and putting the MIT up 1-0.
Salem State responded in the fourth when senior Steve Mucci took two bases off a liner into center field. Junior Ryan Kane was next up and hit another shot into center for an RBI-double to even the score at 1-1.
Junior Evan Valcourt kept the Vikings' going in the fifth with a shot over the wall to left field. With his first homer of the season, Valcourt gave Salem State the lead at 2-1.
MIT gained momentum in the fifth, with sophomore Bryan Macomber leading off with a single through the right side, setting up an RBI-single from senior Stewart Park, tying the game at 2-2. After the next two batters reached base on balls, starter Andrew Galindo came off the mound, tallying 4 strikeouts and 6 walks in 4 and 1/3 innings.
With bases loaded and one out, sophomore Matt Kerr looked like he had escaped trouble on a grounder double-play, but instead of turning two, a Viking error brought Park and Blackman home. Kerr reloaded the bases with a hit batsman and walk before walking in the fourth run of the inning. With MIT ahead 5-2, Kerr partially redeemed himself by striking out Macomber to end the inning.
Mucci's second hit of the day was a big one for Salem State. In the sixth, the first-baseman homered to left for his team-high seventh of the season, narrowing the lead to 5-3.
MIT starter Chris Hendrix retired after 6 innings, recording 4 strikeouts and 0 walks.
The Vikings struck again in the seventh. Ockner opened his tenure on the mound with 2 K's and 2 hits before sophomore Eric Juncker singled into center, driving home Guery Alonzo and Valcourt, erasing the Engineers' advantage and equalizing the score at 5-5. Ockner's arm got away from him when another hit batter (the game's third) and wild pitch put runners in scoring position. He regained enough control to catch Galindo swinging for the third out of the inning.
Continuing this season's pattern of late-game scoring, MIT used the seventh to go ahead for good, leading with four consecutive singles and a sac-fly to score the final 2 runs and take the lead at 7-5.
Junior Jeff Borges pitched the eighth for the Vikings, replacing Kerr (2-3) after 2 strikeouts and 2 walks in 2 and 2/3 innings. Borges pitched 1 strikeout and 1 walk in what was a quiet inning for the Engineers.
Ockner (2-1) clinched the victory for the Cardinal and Gray with 5 consecutive strikeouts. He totaled 8 on the day (with 0 walks) and now averages 8.2 strikeouts per 9 innings pitched.
Salem State is back on the field Thursday when the Vikings travel to play non-conference opponent Plymouth State University at 3:30 p.m. The Engineers' are next scheduled to play the Cougars of Clark University in a NEWMAC doubleheader on Saturday, April 17, starting at 12 p.m.

So I had a broken out screen on my porch and with winter coming, I needed it replaced before something gets inside the house. I've got all kinds of problems since I was hurt a couple of years ago, so I hired the kid next door to help me out. We went out there and King comes out too. I tell him, "Go on, get in the house!" and he starts to do it, but the kid, who really doesn't know him all that well, pats him on the butt to "help him along". I knew right away, just from the look of disgust on King's face, that he didn't like that at all. I said, "No, you don''t want to do that!". He said, "Will he try to bite me?". "No, you just guaranteed he won't go into the house for a while!". Pushing/pulling King is the absolute worst move you can make when dealing with him. I tried to herd him over to the sliding glass door, but he wanted no part of that, and made his usual move, he plopped over on his side, and laid there like he was dead, except for one foot up in the air, waving. I told the kid to ignore him and eventually he will get up, and after about 10 minutes, he did. I told him to get in the house, and he gave the kid a look like, "Don't touch me kid!", and slowly went into the house. He sat inside the family room and watched us change the screen, and then came out as we were coming back into the house. He stayed out there a while, but when I called him and told him "Wheats", he ran right inside. "Wheats" are Mini-Wheats, the cereal, they are one of his favorite treats. I probably could have gotten him in all along if I would have had some in my pocket. He really is food crazy at this point.
