Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal.William Clark
The world at large does not judge us by who we are and what we know; it judges us by what we have.Joyce Brothers
The more a man judges, the less he loves.Honor de Balzac
Men of genius are not quick judges of character. Deep thinking and high imagining blunt that trivial instinct by which you and I size people up.Sir Henry Maximilian Beerbohm
A sense of humor judges one's actions and the actions of others from a wider reference... it pardons shortcomings; it consoles failure. It recommends moderation.Thornton Wilder
Contemplative and bookish men must of necessity be more quarrelsome than others, because they contend not about matter of fact, nor can determine their controversies by any certain witnesses, nor judges. But as long as they go towards peace, that is Truth, it is no matter which way.John Donne
Nevada's one of the most conservative states in the Union, but you can do what you want in Vegas and nobody judges you.Drew Carey
As records of courts and justice are admissible, it can easily be proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed and were a scourge to mankind. The evidence (including confession) upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable. The judges' decisions based on it were sound in logic and in law. Nothing in any existing court was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and sorcery for which so many suffered death. If there were no witches, human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value.Ambrose Bierce
To embarrass justice by a multiplicity of laws, or to hazard it by confidence in judges, are the opposite rocks on which all civil institutions have been wrecked, and between which legislative wisdom has never yet found an open passage.Samuel Johnson
Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.Friedrich Nietzsche
If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress... Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of AmericaJames Madison
Most people think themselves kind enough, but rather like a magician thinking he is fooling an audience who can see through his trick, we are the worst judges of the effect we have on others. True, we can mentally point out various kindnesses we have committed and those pleasant aspects of ourselves. Yet by doing so, we ignore the real test cases: how we behave under pressure, how nice we are to people we dont like, how we deal with other people who seem determined to not live up to our unrealistic expectations.Derren Victor Brown
Story belongs to the people. They are sounder judges of it than anyone else, for their senses are unspoiled and their emotions are free.Pearl Sydenstricker Buck
The populace judges of the power of God by the power of the priests.Napoleon Bonaparte
Posterity alone rightly judges kings. Posterity alone has the right to accord or withhold honors.Napoleon Bonaparte
That judges of important causes should hold office for life is a disputable thing, for the mind grows old as well as the body.Aristotle
The fact that men are naturally quarrelsome is presumed to be an argument against such institutions as the League. But it is precisely the fact of the natural pugnacity of man that makes such institutions necessary. If men were naturally and easily capable of being their own judges, always able to see the other's case, never got into panics, never lost their heads, never lost their tempers and called it patriotism why, then we should not want a League. But neither should we want in that case most of our national apparatus of government either parliaments, congresses, courts, police, ten commandments. These are all means by which we deal with the unruly element in human nature.Sir Norman Angell
We're in a state of crisis where our nation is literally ripping apart at the seams right now, and lawlessness is occurring from one ocean to the other. And we're seeing the fulfillment of the Book of Judges here in our own time, where every man doing that which is right in his own eyesin other words, anarchy.Michele Bachmann
He who doeth good unto Me, it is as if he doeth good unto God, His angels and the entire company of His loved ones. He who doeth evil unto Me, it is as if he doeth evil unto God and His chosen ones. Nay, too exalted is the station of God and of His loved ones for any persons good or evil deed to reach their holy threshold. Whatever reacheth Me is ordained to reach Me; and that which hath come unto Me, to him who giveth will it revert. By the One in Whose hand is My soul, he hath cast no one but himself into prison. For assuredly whatsoever God hath decreed for Me shall come to pass and naught else save that which God hath ordained for us shall ever touch us. Woe betide him from whose hands floweth evil, and blessed the man from whose hands floweth good. Unto no one do I take My plaint save to God; for He is the best of judges. Every state of adversity or bliss is from Him alone, and He is the All-Powerful, the Almighty.The Bab
If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected those, precisely, who need the laws protection most! and listens to their testimony.James Baldwin
Where are the words that will light the way? What is humanity in the world, and what is the world? Everything is within me, and there are no judges, and there are no boundaries and no limits to me. The de profundis, the effort not to die, the fall of desire with its soaring cry, all this has not stopped. It is part of the immense liberty which the incessant mechanism of the human heart exercises (always something different, always!).Henri Barbusse
When it comes to computer games, many academics seem to be one step down from judges in their lack of engagement with the real world.Richard Allan Bartle
It is the virtue of God, the Parmatma, the creator to do justice and we as judges merely act as his agents. I always seek guidance from the creator so that we do not make a wrong judgment. We act without favour or fear, ill will or affection. For me it makes no difference.Rana Bhagwandas
The prestige of the Nobel Prize is due to many causes, but in particular to its twofold idealistic and international character: idealistic in that it has been designed for works of lofty inspiration; international in that it is awarded after the production of different countries has been minutely studied and the intellectual balance sheet of the whole world has been drawn up. Free from all other considerations and ignoring any but intellectual values, the judges have deliberately taken their place in what the philosophers have called a community of the mind.Henri-Louis Bergson

@fluxwavez: He could be nothing more, he could be something. We don't know, that's the fun of playing guessing games. Right?
Catolf's forum posts
@fluxwavez: you talking about -we know this- that its high school, are you saying in juvi that teaching stops? Cause I believe kids are still having classes, just now locked down.
It might have high school students and a similar setting but not.
And as far as Sho why must it be fanfiction? Why introduce a character like him with nothing but fighting game part in mind. There was no need. He has to have some significant reason to be.
@catolf: That idea doesn't make a lot of sense to me for multiple reasons. One of them: Why does Sho want to slit everyone's throats, including Narukami, if he's forced to fight Shadows?
Well, why is adatchi even in the game at all when he should be in jail, let alone in still clothing that he wore as a detective?
Besides, he's a criminal, what makes you think he's gunna be a nice guy?
If he's forced to fight shadows for freedom who's to say that freedom dosen't come for one and only one of the 'team' it might be a take them out before they take you out kind of thing for all we know.
I'm leaning more toward a juvi' detention center so to speak.
Cause i loved this idea so much Imma re-post it. Cause this made a lot of sense. (quote was from the p5 trailer)
Ok, so wild mass guessing time about Persona 5 here.
The tag line in it is "You are slave. Want emancipation?" which hints at some kind of plot about gaining your freedom.
So, cut to the trailer released at the same time for the new Persona 4 Arena game, which has several new characters, most of whom we've seen from P4 and P3. EXCEPT for Sho, the red head. In the trailer Sho, makes a remark that he's "just a criminal, here to sharpen my blades on your throat."
Sho's appearance in that trailer has a red back ground (he also has red hair). Red also happens to be the predominant color in the P5 trailer.
So, here is my guess: Sho is a character from the up coming Persona 5, and is a criminal who is being used to fight shadows in order to earn his freedom.
A whole thread and no one wondering if the real Dante was going to show up in the game?
if both parties don't wanna be involved in this flame war around DMC still, i think they might not wanna touch it/ deal with capcom. But who know's, nintendo is being rather bold lol. (project X zone Dante anyone?)
I just heard about this a day ago. nearly choked on some granola (yeah i'm working too much so VG news is sparse as is game playing ;_;) But man I'm excited. This sold a Wii U for me. I know the ps4 is on the horizon but giving that thing time to go down in price while enjoying this puppy will be great. Also I guess US release was stated, so no need to wonder about it (i worried a little, but i guess no need!)
Only thing I have noticed (not here which I was delighted about) is the wars going on between the FE community and the SMT one. Seems majorly either side dosen't know what the other side is for the most part, while this is good to open up doors for new fans, it's been causing quite a bit a conflict... holy crud. Welp, glad it's not going on here!

glad your liking the game so far, i had a lot of fun with it when i stopped giving a damn about getting killed. lol

@Catolf said:
Also, in all fairness, before Dante was what.. a half human half demon..? and we seen a shit ton of those too. And considering the story line of the previous games, at least this way they have something more to work with leaning toward either side.
Also, I'm kind of disappointed that Mundus looks like a dude, and not some giant hulking demon-thing. A minor quibble, though, considering cameras are in disguise.
Yeah I'm with you there, I'm sure it's some disguise to some grotesque looking hulking looking demon, but i wish when they showed him he looked like that demon.
Having a lot of fun with this demo, i wanna play it a little more before i get to anything harder.
@RPGee said:
Also, a trend I found earlier this year has re-emerged: the existence of Nephilim. Remember how in Diablo III you were a nephilim? Remember how in Darksiders II you were a nephalem (different spellings, apparently)? Well, in DMC, you're apparently another one of these pesky angel-demon hybrids. I'm not going to say it's lazy or well-worn, because all of these games have been in development a while and couldn't have predicted each other. I'd just say that there should be a break from it soon, maybe. Yes, part of video games is that you're meant to be special, but I would not be sad to not see this idea for a while.

@Demoskinos: It is a big difference between a lovable asshole and an asshole
No.. it wasn't lovable, it was idiotic to the extreeme..but.. it's Dante.. so..LETS GET CRAAAZZZZYYYYYY...*shot*
Also, to your thing about the story, I don't care if they got help or not, what in the end matters is that the stories were good, and I doubt they will go about this without getting it looked over. So.. aww snap.

Everything about this game looks fucking RAD.
Could you please elaborate how anything but the combat in this game will be rad?
1: Being Ninja Theory the story will be fantastic.
2: It will be something worth playing.
3: Your looking to hate, and that's just rad for you, but give it a shot.
Face it, any story in any DMC was never worth a second look: "It's not about the story it's about the combat!" Is what I really hope you won't tell me. Or: "What are you talking about, the story in DMC is what made it great with the combat!" Cause that would be just silly too...XP
(not directing this part to you.)
Yes that DLC is expensive, but it's FREE as a preorder bonus. Both for the EU and for the US. What is there to complain about, honestly? You don't want it, don't preorder or buy it. You do, just preorder, no money spent until you get full game.
If you all weren't sure, I'm getting the game, it looks awesome.
1: From what I have seen, the cut scenes have been totally unappealing. Mostly because it flips over everything about Hideki Kamiya's original vision of Dante and the Devil May Cry world into an embarassing, loathsome mess targeted to teenagers.
Ummm... have you well i'll just direct that back to @Yummylee, they seemed to take care of that real quick. lol
2: The combat looks pretty serviceable, there's no doubt about that. But the redesigns of the characters, the enemies, and settings, and even user interface seem to be a big downgrade from the previous games. It would be hard for me to enjoy the combat when I loathe everything else.
Um... a down grade.. did you forget what everyone looked like before? The shitty little areas you had to fight that was the same as the LAST area you just fought in? Oh and camera angles..ughhghghhghgh! *shot*
3: I'm just really disappointed.
The story really isn't what is important. Its a video game, an action video game at that. A lengthy story bogged down by cut scenes is not necessary, unless it is interesting enough to complement the game-play, in which DmC's case it isn't from the looks of it. I'm not a fan of games that try to be blockbuster movies.
So are you looking to play this game for the story? If so, that's just silly.
HA!... i quit reading there..
An action game can have a decent story and not be labored, the first god of war did that nicely. But hey... XP

My Gun Girl violent series. This was one of the pieces that stood out. I had intentions of smoothing out a lot of it, but every time I came back to it, I liked it more the way it was, rough, bloody, white, and grim.
I love the mood and texture of this piece, fantastic.
love your art, clark…. : )
wow this is very good!!!
I hope it's in oil, not digital…
excellent work, so powerfully compelling.
There is so much intent in this piece. It is not often people can make there art speak so clearly. Well done!

Salesforce.com Delivers Next Generation Social Analytics For The Marketing Cloud
NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CLOUDFORCE 2012 -- Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM), the enterprise cloud computing company ( http://www.salesforce.com/cloudcomputing/), today announced new next generation social analytics for the Marketing Cloud. With the expanded Marketing Cloud ecosystem, which now includes 20 industry leading social analytics vendors, companies are able to make better business decisions based on the massive amounts of social media data created every day, all from a single dashboard.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20050216/SFW105LOGO)
Comments on the news:
- "150 million social conversations are happening every day, and now companies are truly able to take social insight and turn it into action by focusing on the conversations that matter," said Michael Lazerow, CMO of Salesforce Marketing Cloud, salesforce.com. "Salesforce Marketing Cloud's new social analytics help brands discern signal from noise to deliver real business value."
- "Social media has a growing impact on our B2B marketing practices at CA Technologies," said Michelle Accardi, vice president of Internet Marketing, CA Technologies. "Salesforce Marketing Cloud allows us to go beyond listening to proactively engaging with customers. With the social intelligence provided by insights, now we can quickly distinguish which social posts ask questions, express a need or problem and identify our brand champions and act on that information."
Salesforce Marketing Cloud – Unlocking the Value of Social MediaIDC reports that spending on social networking is up 47 percent, the highest growth in spending for any technology category. A 2012 IBM CEO study reveals that social will become one of the top two ways companies can engage customers at the expense of traditional methods. And according to a University of California at Berkeley study, social media users create enough data every day to equal the print collection of the U.S. Library of Congress, the world's largest library. Today, companies are looking for ways to tap into the value of social media data. In fact, a recent McKinsey Global Institute report states that companies that rely on brand recognition can increase margins by as much as 60 percent by using social technologies to connect with customers and to generate sharper consumer insights. The Marketing Cloud is the most comprehensive social marketing suite that enables companies to manage social listening, content, engagement, advertising and measurement all in one place.

Dennis Hinrichsen: I have Googled the 'Gang of Four' with little success. Were you ridinghigh as a Press reporter at that time? I wonder what Sander's beach bathers think of Fromm's Save Our Shoreline ticket. I did locate two sites of interest, thought I admit the first is totally DRY and the second unreadable for the moment: Take a moment for your fans and document the achievement of Mayor Fromm and disclose who the three Councilors were that cowtowed to him. What the Citizens of Coeur d'Alene must ask themselves: Are longterm residents who are dependent on gainful employment better off or worse off than they were in the mid-80's.
DFO: First, I've never worked for the CDA Press; however, I was managing editor of Duane Hagadone's Kalispell Daily Inter Lake for four years. Briefly, the Gang of Four (Fromm, Steve McCrea, Bob Brown and Judge Jim Michaud) ended the firefighters' strike, ended the building moratorium, required public access to the boardwalk when it approved the PUD for the Coeur d'Alene Resort, stopped the return of hydroplane races, adopted the city's shoreline ordinances and much else. It had little to do with Sanders Beach. It had little to do with the economic doldrums that hit this area in the mid to late '80s. It was hated by the movers and shakers of this community. But it was effective in protecting the shoreline and getting the community moving again.

I love getting to see where you live in live action footage! But do me a favor and be careful with the cute dog videos, will you? Kevin's on a get-a-dog kick and I'm not quite sure I'm ready. But when I re-run this for the eighteenth time, it's a hard idea to resist.ReplyDelete
Jennifer that is great, so nice to see all your dog children! Happy Happy dogs, the best kind. Pats all around for me, Jet's jealous.ReplyDelete
Doggie Heaven!ReplyDelete
Glad you're (all) up and running again!
Tamar - I'll post videos of me paying the vets bills. That should deter Kevin.ReplyDelete
Terry - After a good hour's walk, they will sit still long enough for a pat. They're all so fit after six months of shooting. I think it's time to get the quad bike out so I can keep up with their pace!
Thanks for the kind wishes Hazel. Everything on its feet - for now!
Wish Lily and I had joined you. Think she is missing four legged company!!ReplyDelete
Wow would I ever love to go on such a dog walk!ReplyDelete
I want your life SO BAD. Could you take a horse out instead of walking?ReplyDelete

Arthur Chu stood on the set of Jeopardy! last November, and with $400 at stake in the category "After the White House," he knew the question to the answer. The show's host, Alex Trebek, teased that the name in question had, since 1982, been a distinguished professor at Emory University.
"Who is Carter?" Chu replied. The response was correct; Chu would select the next clue.
Here, a normal contestant would build on success and take "After the White House" for $600. But Chu did not. He darted to "Shakespearean Spelling Bee" for $1,000, the highest monetary value in the show's first round. "Queen of the fairies, wife of Oberon," Trebek read. "What is T-i-t-a-n-i-a?" asked Chu, well on the way to his fourth straight win. Chu, a 30-year-old insurance compliance analyst and voice-over artist from Ohio, went undefeated through nine matches televised in January and February, and his $261,000 earnings rank third all-time for Jeopardy!.
As tiny a factor as it may seem, the jump from "After the White House" to "Shakespearean Spelling Bee" is what's helped Chu claim his position in the scattered lineage of incendiary Jeopardy! contestants who approach Jeopardy! not as a knowledge contest to master so much as a rule set to overcome. His frenetic hop between categories is known by the niche community of Jeopardy! game theorists as the Forrest Bounce. It's named for Chuck Forrest, the 1985 contestant who dashed from one topic to the next and left opponents little time to gather their thoughts. Chu's move was also a nod to Roger Craig, the guy he calls his greatest Jeopardy! influence. Craig, a 2011 contestant, based his strategy on chasing Daily Doubles, which often sit toward the bottom of the game board.
Chu has worked this sort of Jeopardy! heresy to perfection, but not everyone has cheered him along. Chu has endured some backlash—some in jest, some offensive—because the tactics that have stymied his onstage opponents have also disrupted his armchair competition. Those who vilify Chu might not consciously connect the dots, but their vexation with him reflects a tacit understanding of Jeopardy! and its historical role in American life.
Jeopardy! will probably meet the TV reaper soon. Yes, 50 years after it first aired, and 30 years after the Trebek era launched, the show remains one of America's most watched syndicated TV programs. But its viewership is among the oldest of any in the industry. As Jeopardy! fans near their demise, the show will die out for the same reason it lived so long: It was built to suppress, not support, disruption.
The early 1960s should have been a good time to launch a game show. Color TVs had become common in middle-class homes, and TV consumption was still guiltless. Yet to be a quiz show in the mid-'60s was to linger under suspicion of a scandal. In 1956, the producers and contestants of Twenty-One were found to have fixed episodes to boost ratings through likable winners and compelling story lines, such as when two contestants finished tied in three straight episodes. The $64,000 Question and Dotto, other quiz shows of the era, were revealed to have deceived viewers with similar techniques. The scandals bred so much distrust that networks cancelled most quiz shows and Congress intervened in 1960 to make rigging quizzes illegal.
By 1964, when Jeopardy! debuted, the controversy surrounding quiz shows had waned but not fully passed. Merv Griffin, the creator and producer of Jeopardy!, needed his daytime show to be watchable, but more importantly, above reproach. Griffin's show, then hosted by Art Fleming, survived through early 1975 and re-emerged for a season in 1978, but it never sustained the success of pre-scandal quiz shows.
The TV climate in 1984, when Jeopardy! relaunched, was different from what it had been two decades prior, in the program's first iteration. Whereas '60s TV stories were mostly episode-contained, '80s TV placed greater reliance on macro-narratives and characters that drew viewers' emotional devotion. Sitcoms such as Cosby, Cheers, and Family Ties fared well in 1984 Nielsen ratings, but TV that year was distinguished by dramatic stories of people who amassed wealth and maintained justice. Dynasty, Dallas, and Falcon Crest chronicled the lives of prosperous, powerful people. Magnum, P.I.; Murder, She Wrote; Night Court; and Miami Vice developed characters who enforced the law.
In this setting, a game show could differentiate itself from the rest of the evening TV slate, and Jeopardy! in particular was a fitting interlude to stories about people who got rich and laid down the law. Its unvarnished meritocracy embodied the capitalism narrative Americans seem to have wanted to believe at the time.

December 18, 2014
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy will replace Adrian Peterson at the Pro Bowl later this month.
The Minnesota Vikings running back can't participate because of an injury.
Lacy set franchise rookie records this season for rushing yards (1,178), rushing touchdowns (11) and rushing attempts (284). He tied the team's rookie mark for 100-yard rushing games at four.
Lacy is the first Packers running back since Ahman Green in 2004 to go to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii and the first Green Bay rookie running back since John Brockington in 1971.
Lacy says he sees the Pro Bowl as an opportunity to thank his teammates and coaches for helping with his accomplishments on the field this past season.

US town in Massachusetts bans bottled water
Published on Jan 3, 2013 6:13 AM
NEW YORK (AFP) - Water, water everywhere - just not in plastic bottles, says a town in the US state of Massachusetts.
A law passed by the town of Concord went into effect with the New Year, making single-serving bottles of water illegal.
The ban is intended to encourage use of tap water and curb the worldwide problem of plastic pollution.
It only applies to "non-sparkling, unflavoured drinking water." Coke or other soft drinks are exempt.

Gold Climbs On Hopes Of New Fed Bond Purchases
Gold prices rose Thursday after a mixed batch of U.S. economic news raised hopes for some investors that the Federal Reserve will take additional steps to try to bolster growth.
Applications for unemployment benefits dipped to a seasonally adjusted 388,000 last week, near a three-month high, the Labor Department reported. That was an indication hiring has slowed down since winter.
The National Association of Realtors' index of signed contracts to purchase homes increased 4.1 percent last month to the highest level in nearly two years.The weaker unemployment report prompted more investors to buy gold, which is considered a relatively stable asset during uncertain economic times. It was released a day after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that the Fed will take further action if necessary to improve the economy. One option is additional bond purchases, also called a quantitative easing program. "The catalyst for any kind of threat of an additional quantitative easing plan out of the Fed is going to be driven by a deterioration in the jobs market because that's where ... the U.S. population feels that the most," R.J. O'Brien commodities broker Phillip Streible said. Gold prices have been supported for months in part by the Fed's bond-buying programs. The bank bought Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities to push down long-term interest rates and stimulate borrowing and spending. The Fed's programs kept interest rates low and pressured the dollar, which weakened against other currencies. Gold and other commodities are priced in dollars, so a weaker dollar makes them more of a bargain for traders who use other currencies. Gold for June delivery increased $18.20 to finish at $1,660.50 an ounce. Other metals also were higher. May silver increased 85.1 cents, or 2.8 percent, to $31.207 an ounce, May copper rose 6.7 cents to $3.767 per pound, July platinum climbed $22.90 to $1,570.20 an ounce and June palladium rose $17.55, or 2.7 percent, to $672.65 per ounce.

Exotic Animals Catching Attention in Lee
LEE -- It's not everyday you see zebras, camels, and llamas in Lee, but that has been on display for about a week right off of Route 102, and some Lee residents are concerned.
"Everything about it concerns me," says Sheila Anderson. "It's 90 some degrees, it's really humid, exotic animals don't belong in the Berkshires they don't even belong in my judgement carnivals."
While CBS6 was on site we saw Lee's animal control officer stopping in to check on the situation, he told CBS6 while the conditions aren't ideal there's no harm being done to the animals and nothing illegal about the lot they are in.
"I don't see anything out of the ordinary," says Mike Sullivan, the animal control officer for Lee and Lennox. "It's just an unfortunate event that these guys ran into an accident and they are held up here for a while until they can get back on the road."
CBS6 learned the lot is owned by an RW Towing company employee, based out of Lee. He gave the individuals traveling with the animals permission to use the property while they fix their broken trailer.
Sullivan says the animals are not in any danger, and continue to be taken care of with food and water.
The people traveling with the animals tell CBS6 they're hoping to be back on the road in two days to catch up with the Kelly Miller circus in Ohio. They were leaving the circus in Dalton when the accident happened.

Sound Tigers' Statement on Playing at the Coliseum
The Sound Tigers have provided a statement to Point Blank on their tenure in Bridgeport, Connecticut following Bruce Ratner's proclamation earlier today that the team will occupy the Coliseum when the Islanders head to Brooklyn:
Charles Wang owns both the Islanders and Sound Tigers in addition to Harbor Yard Sports and Entertainment, which manages the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport.
Are Ryan Strome, Andrey Pedan and Scott Mayfield Headed East?
Kevin Schultz
Tonight, three of the Islanders' 2011 draft picks were eliminated from their respective post-season tournaments. That could pave the way for all of them to head east to either Long Island or, most likely, Bridgeport.
For one, defender Andrey Pedan, who scored a few goals for his team, was knocked out of the OHL playoffs tonight. If you read his twitter, it sounds like his bags are already packed. To read more of this story, click here
Anders Nilsson Skating With the Sound Tigers
Sound Tigers netminder Anders Nilsson, out since late January with a mystery ailment, is skating with the team this morning.
Calvin De Haan Skating, Brett Gallant Out for Season
The CT Post's Mike Fornabaio tweeted some Sound Tiger injury updates today. Fornabaio says that defender Calvin de Haan has resumed skating; "Skating; just got to shoot the puck again. Some time before contact, though." To read more of this story, click here
Rick DiPietro Pulled After Allowing Five Goals in First Period
Tonight in Hartford, Rick DiPietro had a bad start to his Sound Tigers career. DiPietro allowed five goals to the CT Whale on 12 shots and was pulled after the first intermission in favor of Kenny Reiter. Here's the full box score.
Update, 1:43pm: Mike Fornabaio has a full analysis here. Video is here.
Anders Nilsson's Injury Remains a Mystery
Kevin Schultz
Over the weekend, Kenny Reiter started Saturday and Sunday's games for the Sound Tigers, after Kevin Poulin was called up to the Island. Missing was Anders Nilsson, the Islanders other young goaltending prospect in the AHL, who hasn't been seen on the ice in February. To read more of this story, click here

I know. It isn't really the first day of winter, but it seemed like it for several reasons. The season has started for me. John and I decided that today we would go forth and conquer our Christmas shopping list. We started the day with breakfast out which we only do when we are traveling. But we needed to fortify ourselves for a long day of shopping. I am not a good shopper. I think it may be because I was a shopkeeper for so long. I get annoyed at poor service, unfriendly clerks, unmarked product, and other "givens' for customer service. Plus, I know when a store is charging more than suggested retail (for some things, anyway). Maybe John suggested breakfast out to fortify him against my lack of enthusiasm to go shop. But off we went. list in hand for our families.
As we sat at our breakfast, we laid out our plan of attack. There was a table of four men next to us in deep and serious discussion which seemed odd since one man had a Santa hat on and a lovely and obviously real white, nicely trimmed beard. Sometimes their low chatter almost sounded musical. But wait! Listen, I said to John. I think they are singing. All of a sudden, the men started singing louder and then burst into full four part harmony. They were wonderful. This old time barbershop quartet sang a couple of carols from their table, finished their song and left amid loud applause from all the other diners. Things like this only happen in the movies, but here it was happening in our own regular old life. Such a great start to the day. Life is good.
We stopped by the post office and we carried all the packages in to be mailed. These were Small Studio packages and since I mentioned what great gift ideas we had, many of you took this to heart and I spent almost all weekend packing orders. Thank you to all who support my little business. The post office was empty. This seldom, if ever happens, Lucky us.
We drove over to the shopping center and pulled into a place right in front of the store we were aiming for. Unheard of. The same luck happened all day. Every store we hit had exactly what we wanted to buy. There were crowds, but everyone was smiling and polite and friendly including the helpful clerks. Life is good.
The mail lady brought Christmas cards with long Christmas letters, which I love receiving and cards with photos of families I love. Do you like Christmas letters? I know some people think they are tacky, but I really want to see how big the kids have grown and where this year's vacation was and how the job is going, etc. Thank you to my friends and family that continue this practice. Life is so good.
We had yummy leftovers for dinner. Easy and quick and then we began wrapping gifts together. This is hilarious because John wraps in a very unique way. He likes to use all the bits and oieces...on one package.
Now here is the "frosting" on our day. Outside we are having our first snow. It isn't really sticking, but the flakes coming down are big and soft and lovely. It seems like the first day of winter. Life is definitely oh so good.

R.A. Dickey is having an amazing season pitching for a team that's got no hope of making the playoffs.
It's that time of year when fans of most baseball teams try to decide if there's anything left to hope for. That's what makes baseball different from most other sports. In football or basketball when your team is hopelessly out of contention, there's not much to do except give in to despair. But in baseball there are still individual players to root for and their records to think about.
The fans of the New York Mets have a real big one to occupy their minds and possibly console themselves with: Robert Allen Dickey. As the Mets get ready to play the Cincinnati Reds tonight with Dickey on the mound, they have a 55-61 record and are 16.5 games behind the front-running Washington Nationals in the National League East without a realistic shot at even a wild card slot.
For Mets fans, the year has been doubly disheartening. Last season, as team owners Fred and Jeff Wilpon staved off the threat of a disastrous financial meltdown due to their business dealings Bernie Madoff, fans stayed away in droves. No one, after all, expected anything from a team that had let its best player, NL batting champ Jose Reyes, go to free agency without even an offer.
Then, as Opening Day approached, the Madoff-related lawsuits were settled and something strange happened at Citifield. The Mets, with a roster of players obscure even to their fans, began to win. At the All-Star break, they were a respectable 46-40 and just 4.5 games behind the Nationals. But suddenly, things changed. As if in mockery of their fan's hopes, the Mets have won only 9 of the 30 games since the All-Star break. Last night, after holding the Central-division leading Cincinnati Reds scoreless for 8 innings, lost a 3-0 heartbreaker in the bottom of the ninth.
And yet, despite these enormous setbacks, the Mets have the league's best pitcher and the worthiest candidate for most valuable player: pitcher R.A. Dickey.
Dickey has a 15-3 record with a 2.72 ERA. He is leading the league in victories, strikeouts, shut-outs with two, and complete games with four. (He's the only NL pitcher who has completed more than two games.) In games where Dickey has not been involved in the decision, the Mets are 40-57. Let's say the same thing another way: Dickey's win-loss percentage is .833, while the W-L of the rest of the Mets' pitching staff is .444, a difference of 389 points. No other pitcher in the National League, or in all of baseball—no other player at any position—has meant as much to his team as Dickey has to the Mets this season.
Of course, baseball analysts are quick to point out that you can't always trust a pitcher's win-loss percentage or gage his value by it—he might be the beneficiary of extraordinary good luck in the form of run support or excellent relief pitching. In Dickey's case, though, neither is true. The Mets are a mediocre hitting team, seventh in the NL in runs scored, and dead last in bullpen ERA. Both stats indicate that Dickey's victories are attributable not to luck but to his own ability. In fact, the Mets' bullpen is so bad that Dickey's only chance of getting a win is to either complete it himself or go so far into a game that the Mets' relievers have little opportunity to blow it for him. That may be why his average of seven innings per start is the highest in the NL.

I ran into a pretty good amount of free 1/4in steel plates at work. I hate to see them just get tossed in the dumpster so I am offering them up to anyone in the region that would like some. Most are 26in. X 26in. with 4 one inch diameter holes. Some are 30in. X30in. also a couple are large yet large holes.
The plates are located at my jobsite in alexandria, va. I commute everyday from Waynesboro, pa. I am willing to meet up with anyone interested. Limit per meet up would have to be about 8-10 plates since they weigh around 60 lbs. a piece.
No charge of course, trying to pass on the good deal!!

SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Quinn granted clemency Friday to 85 people, including those with convictions for arson, armed robbery, shoplifting and drug offenses.
In the same batch of clemency requests, which were ignored during impeached ex-Gov. Blagojevich's tenure, Quinn rejected 189 petitions seeking pardons or expungements.
His decisions on the cases means the governor now has acted on 1,195 clemency petitions since taking office in 2009. He has granted 467 of those clemency requests and rejected 728.
The governor's office indicated that every person granted clemency by Quinn underwent a criminal background check by the Illinois State Police.

The Kelty Salida 2 three-season tent is an ideal choice for backpackers on a budget. The Salida 2 is easy to pitch and very well ventilated. For the price, the Salida 2 is tough to beat.
With a minimum weight of 3 pounds, 12 ounces and an interior volume of 30.5 square feet, the Salida 2 provides a respectable space to weight ratio. A 10 square foot vestibule provides the Salida 2 with additional exterior space for stowing gear and muddy boots. The combination of sidewall vents and mesh fabric used on the tent body provides excellent ventilation for combating condensation build-up and keeping you cool during warm weather. Internal storage pockets and gear-loft loops create out of the way space for stowing small items like a headlamp or trail maps.
The Kelty Salida 2 uses color coded clip construction that eliminates the hassle of feeding poles through cumbersome tent sleeves. Just slide the shock-corded pole sections together and attach the clips. The freestanding design of the Kelty Salida 2 allows you to pitch the tent and then move it around your campsite to find the optimum position, eliminating an uncomfortable night's sleep over an exposed root or rock.
Kelty's ArcEdge construction lifts taped, floor seams up off the ground, preventing water seepage around the floor and wall seams of the Salida 2.
An optional footprint (sold separately) further protects the Kelty Salida 2 against ground water, roots and rocks.

– Chandler AZ
Likes: Great tent for my 14 year old son for his boy scout adventures. Plenty of room for him and some basic gear or for two scouts on the smaller side.
Dislikes: The tent could be ventilated a bit better. With two in the tent it does condensate a bit.
James J.
– Peoria Heights IL
Likes: For a two person tent, it is very roomyLots of pockets inside tent
Dislikes: Vestibule seems a lot smaller than I thought. Not enough for two people's packs
Ron L.
– Colorado Springs CO
Likes: The Kelty Salida 2 overall is a good backpacking tent. Set up was easy and if the tent happens to be on an uncomfortable surface the freestanding style makes it easy to relocate. A strong feature of the tent was the waterproofness of the fly. I was in a constant rain for 9 hours and remained completely dry from the rain. There was however some condensation, but not enough to be a deal breaker. This was used as a single person tent and provided ample room, in length, width and height.
Dislikes: Using this as a single person tent is ok provided there is not a lot of gear to store in the vestibule. To use this as a two person tent is not as enjoyable. The single vestibule makes it more difficult to store gear for two people. Another noticeable problem when using as a two person tent is the single door. I found this to be a good tent up to the point where I had to share the space and the one entrance/exit.
Matt B.
– Abbeville SC
Likes: Awesome tent for the price. It packs a bit heavy but this should not keep you from getting the tent.Plenty of room and very durable in bad weather. Great for someone needing a Good quality tent for backpacking.
Dislikes: Nothing
Anonymous Backcountry Edge Customer
Likes: The rain fly going almost to the ground is a much superior design for increased comfort in the cold and, of course, the rain/dew. The poles are great and the clips are easier to use during assembly and break down than sleeves on other tents. It is so light and sturdy that I can easily hold it up and shake it to clean it prior to packing up.
Dislikes: ..
– westfield MA
Likes: Solid quality made free standing tent Plenty of space for a coupleVery inexpensiveGreat ventilation Simple design/easy set up
Dislikes: Just a little on the heavy side but to be expected in this price range
– Braselton GA
Likes: Set-up was easy and intuitive. The tent does the job it was meant for. Protection from the weather, ventilates well, and is still at an affordable price. Maybe a little heavier than some, but 1/3 the cost. Great tent.
Dislikes: Nothing to dislike.
Jeremey M.
– everett WA
Likes: The light weight is great and it pack size is very small. It takes less than a minuet to set up.
Dislikes: It is not water-resistant in any way and water puddles on the interior floor of the tent during rainy weather. The vestibule is too small to store backpacks under it and sits too close to the front of the tent. When trying to enter or exit the tent in the rain, the close proximity of the vestibule makes it impossible to stay dry.
– Fort Collins CO
Likes: Lightweight but still feels really sturdy and durable. It's been raining NON STOP here in Colorado so I though I'd test the tent's rain worthiness in the back yard. After 3 days, it's still dry inside. I use a Half Dome 4 when camping with the family but this tent was such a great value for my solo backpacking. Great value. First on trail use this coming weekend!
Dislikes: Nothing so far.

Dislikes: Nothing really. Can't ask for anything more from a tent this price.
Anna M.

Likes: This is a great tent! I love all the mesh for great ventilation and star viewing. It has a large vestibule for a 2 person tent (10ft) and the gear loft is enormous. I also like the lack of color to this tent, as I really hate orange tents. 2 people would fit in this, but I wouldn't bunk with someone you don't want to snuggle. (especially with only 1 door) I use this as a 1 person tent with 2 dogs. The first time in the field was a warm and humid night, but I had 0 condensation! I replaced a Kelty Teton 2 tent with this one, and this is a huge improvement. More mesh, no condensation, larger vestibule, and less weight. Way to go Kelty!
Dislikes: It is a little on the heavy side. Without the footprint it is close to 4 pounds, so with footprint it is closer to 4.5 pounds. This is lighter than many other tents, but not as light as more expensive tents such as the Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2. I sacrificed weight for price, and honestly I am really happy with this tent.

Likes: This tent is EXTREMELY easy and fast to set up. Absolutely love it.
Dislikes: Not enough tie downs. Stakes are factory...bend real easily. Just will have to spend the extra cash to get better stakes and have to get more PolyCord to tie fly down.

Likes: Size and weight. Also the easy set up
Dislikes: This was not the manufacturer problem, but my son set the tent up and before he staked it the wind picked it up and it skid across the driveway. This caused multiple tears and holes in the rainfly. After multiple attempts to order a replacement one were unsuccessful (not in stock) we had to patch it with their recommendation of tenacious tape. It really seems like it will do the job for the repairs, but it's a shame that we have to have patches on a new tent.So the only problem is getting a part replaced. THE TENT IS GREAT..

Likes: Awesome tent for the price. Setup is very quick for one person to do. Packs down quite small and is relatively light.
Dislikes: I wish there was a door on each side of the tent, but not really a deal breaker for me.
Nancy K.
– Whittier CA
Likes: This is an awesome little tent. It's easy to set up by yourself (5 minutes or less), comfy for 1 person, and one of the lightest tents on the market for a reasonable price. You can get lighter tents, but you'll be paying an arm and a leg for them. It has two little corner pouches for small items and a small gear loft that I used to hold my head lamp to light the tent.
Dislikes: It was difficult getting in and out of the tent, but I suspect it's the small size and not the design. I wish they had a door on each side -- I'm not looking forward to climbing over my tent mate to get out. It will be a tight fit when there are two people using it. It did have a little condensation in the morning, but that didn't bother me. Finally it was awkward trying to unzip the rainfly from inside the tent, but with the design, I figured that would be the case.

– Loveland CO
Likes: This is the first tent I've ever bought and used it for 2 3 day trips so far. If you put the poles outside the pack, the tent packs down well. It is amazingly easy to set up, even for a novice! Awesomely light too.
Dislikes: I wish it had some of the nifty reflective adornments the other tents in my group had, it was tougher to find in the dark.
Aaron H.
– Perrysburg OH
Likes: Quick to set up, good size for 2 adults. Quality seems good for the price. I haven't had a chance to really put it to the test yet, but so far so good.
Dislikes: A little heavy, but for the price it's a good value.
Anonymous Backcountry Edge Customer
Likes: I found this tent to be lightweight, easy to set up, roomy for its weight, and packs small. The screen not only keeps the weight down but ventilates the tent better than my old nylon one. I haven't used it in a heavy rain storm or snow load yet but I think it will be fine as the sides wrap up for protection.
Dislikes: One end is larger than the other and it was problematic at first set up for the footprint but once you learn which way is larger its fine.
Jared W.
– Las Vegas NV
Likes: Great tent for the price. Pros include: Relatively lightweight, High quality construction, Lots of mesh for ventilation, Full-coverage rain fly with taped seams, and it comes with handy mesh storage attic. I used this tent for the first time on a week-long backpacking trip in the Boulder Mountains in Utah. It was easy to set up and held up well. I have yet to use the tent in a rainstorm, so I'm not sure how it holds up to rain.
Dislikes: Flimsy stakes. The stuff sack for the tent is much larger than it needs to be.
Bern B.
– Jacksonville AR
Likes: EASY! I read the set up instructions on line when I ordered. I intentionally left them in the box the first time I set it up and STILL had it all done in 10 minutes.
Dislikes: I prefer to use it without the stakes. You MUST stake the fly for the gear storage area to be useful BUT if you don't need that time the doors back.

Likes: Sets up quickly and with ease. Color coded corners adds to the simplicity of set up.
Dislikes: I could have used another inch or two in length. At 6'3" I feel a little cramped, but overall I like the tent!
Brandon P.
Likes: Easy to setup, about a 1/3rd of the price of the big agnes copper spur ul2, so I'm happy. Overall, cheap price for a nice 2 person tent. Did I mention this was backcountry magazine's editor's choice?
Dislikes: Not as light as other more expensive tents, but it does the job. Good for backpacking. It collects a bit of moisture in the rainfly in the mornings, but it doesn't affect comfort at all.
Joseph F.
– Eagle Mountain UT
Likes: Very light and roomy tent. Perfect for backpacking. Plenty of room for two but light enough to pack in yourself for the most spacious one-man shelter. Easy to set-up (did it myself in the matter of minutes) and color-coded fly connections make it idiot proof. Great tent at an exceptional value.
Dislikes: With only one vestibule and one door it can be a little awkward for your partner to get in and out. But I'm sure that was a choice Kelty made to reduce the weight. Also the gear attic has no hooks to attach it to the top of the tent, you have to tie it in. But again, I'm sure the missing plastic hooks saves a bit of weight so I just tied the attic permanently in. Doesn't interfere with rolling it up. So not a big deal once you install it. All these things are minor, still an amazing tent!
Anonymous Backcountry Edge Customer
Likes: Nice size for two person tent. Was very light and easy to set up. Rain fly provided extra room outside of tent.
Dislikes: Tent stacks bend easily. Sleep on coast and was cold. Too much netting let wind in. Rain fly flapped despite all ties connected. Condensation in morning did get inside tent walls wet. Not sure I would rate this for humid area.
Warren S.
– Harker Heights TX
Likes: Great tent. Built well lite weight for backpacking. 2 normal people have no issues in tent. One full size adult would be great.
Dislikes: Would like it to have includeded foot print. Better tent stakes
Warren T.
– Renton WA
Likes: I haven't used this tent outside yet and I'm giving it a 5 star rating based on what I've seen so far. I did however set it up in my living room just to make sure I knew what I was doing. The tent is very light and has plenty of vetilation. Poles are easy to fit together and work well. All clipping hooks are the correct size so you won't have to worry about the tent slipping off of the poles. One positive is the rainfly. I have had rainfly's that fly off in the middle of night. With this tent...it won't happen to you. The fly has clips and cords that pull it into place. No pockets, but does come with the netting that you can tie up to your liking.
Dislikes: Only one entrace so you might need to climb over someone...but it could also be a plus depending on who your camping with;)

Should the amount spent on each child (i.e. car) be determined equitably for each child or the amount each household (biological parents) contribute?
One set of children in blended family does not have help from biological father. The other set of children and their parents feel dollar per dollar should be spent in each household of biological parents, i.e., father contributes $3000 to car and mother contributes $3000 to car. Children without help from father can only spend $3000 per car. Is this fair?In Topics: Blended families

Face it, a new console isn't for another couple years. We're more likely to see a HD Wii before we see a new console from either Sony or Microsoft.
I don't know why you're complaining about this, anything that saves someone money (either with the purchase price, or with your power bill), would see that this is a good thing.

How to Melt Candy Melts
Sometimes following the package instructions just doesn't cut it! Case in point: candy melts can be tricky, frustrating, and irritating!
I am going to try to help make candy melts a little bit easier to use by giving you a few tips and tricks that I have learned through trial and error. Hopefully these tips will make your life a little easier!
First, what are candy melts?
Candy melts are made of sugar, milk solids, vegetable oils, flavorings and colors. In addition, chocolate candy melts have cocoa powder added. Candy melts are also referred to as confectionery coating or summer coating. They act a lot like chocolate but do not require tempering like pure chocolate does.
Candy melts are made by many companies and vary a lot in quality and price.
For our purposes, we are going to use Wilton and Merckens since they are the easiest to get ahold of and the most widely used. Candy melts come in many colors which can be combined and melted together.
We are going to make pink melted candy melts today, by adding a little bit of red to a bag of white candy melts. We are also going to use the microwave to melt them, as I find this is the easiest way to melt them.
A few tips to know before getting started
- Get to know your microwave- only heat your candy melts at 30-50% power, not any higher than that!
- Colored candy melts are very concentrated, you don't need tons of colored disks to get a bright color. Add them to white candy melts to get the color you desire.
- Be very patient while warming your candy melts and plan for them to take about 20-40 minutes to be melted properly.
- You can easily get the candy melts too hot; they will get thicker and clumpier the hotter they get.
- It goes against everything we know about chocolate, but sometimes letting candy melts sit and cool will help more than stirring them.
- It is easier to melt more candy melts at once rather than less.
- Fresh candy melts seem to work better than candy melts that have been stored for a while (3+ months).
Melting candy melts
Step 1:
Place your candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 1 minute at 50% power.
Step 2:
Stir. They won't look melted, but that is okay, stir anyway. Place back in Microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power.
Step 3:
Stir again. It will still be thick, but stir well for about a minute. Place back in the microwave for another 30 seconds at 50% power.
Step 4:
Stir again for about 1-2 minutes, then check the temperature on your candy melts. They should not be warmer than your body temperature. If they are warmer, just set down the bowl and let them sit for a few minutes to cool off. There still may be clumps, which is okay, just walk away and let it sit for a few minutes. I know it is hard to do, but it is best.
After a few minutes try stirring again and you will find the clumps are melting and it will be getting thinner.
If the candy melts are cooler than your body temperature place it back in the microwave for 20 seconds at 30% power. Stir, then check the temperature again. Repeat until you have nicely melted candy melts!
Step 5:
Sometimes candy melts do not cooperate the way we want them to. Rather than thinning out and becoming smooth, they clump or have "elephant skin" like the candy melts below.
Shortening to the rescue! If you find your candy melts are too thick, add a spoonful of shortening.
The shortening will be clumpy at first, but once it is stirred in, let it sit for a few minutes. The warm candy melts will melt the shortening, which will in turn thin out the candy melts. It is a beautiful circle! If after about 5 minutes the clumps are still not gone, heat the candy melts in the microwave for another 20 seconds at 20% power.
Now you have thin and beautiful candy coating, just waiting to be turned into modeling chocolate or cake pops, or anything else you can imagine!

Thank you
Great tips! Thank you!
I use candy melts all the time. I use a double boiler. Just put some water in the bottom and bring it to a simmer, turn off the heat and put the candy melts in the top and stir. You can add 1/3 cup of caro syrup pore onto a piece of plastic wrap fold edges up around the melted candy, let sit over night and you have candy you can make into anything. you will have to work it to make it softer.
Thanks for this tip, I heated my candy melts in the microwave & thought at first that I had burnt them, there were no instructions on the packet. I ended up putting the bowl over a bain marie of water on the stove & just left them there for about 30 mins, stirred & hey presto, they were melted & smooth, thank goodness because I had no extras in case I stuffed them up. Cheers
Thank you – I now have a better understanding of how to use candy melts.
Thank you very much for these great instructions! I was trying to make some candy Lego blocks and mini figures for the top of cupcakes at my son's Lego Ninjago themed party. I was eager to get started so I just followed the instructions on the bag but I ended up over heating them and they were all clumpy. I then did some looking online and thanks to your instructions ("just walk away"), I was more patient and knew what to expect.
They worked out great! Thanks again!

Panasonic to sell S-E Asia chip assembly plants to Singapore's Utac
Published on Feb 4, 2014 3:15 PM
TOKYO (REUTERS) - Panasonic will sell its chip assembly plants in South-east Asia to a unit of Singapore's Utac Holdings as it moves into the final stages of a sweeping restructuring to unload unprofitable operations.
The company gave no financial details of the deal to offload three chip assembly units operating plants in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
The move follows closely on the heels of the transfer of its chipmaking facilities in Japan to a joint venture majority-owned by Israeli chipmaker TowerJazz Semiconductor.
