Pittsburgh Penguins
Penguins Win 3rd Straight, Take 3-1 Lead Over Rangers
The Pittsburgh Penguins moved within one win of the Eastern Conference finals with a 4-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Wednesday night.
Hartnett: Kreider May Return To Goal-Needy Rangers For Game 4
After being shut out in consecutive games by Marc-Andre Fleury and the Penguins, the Rangers are in desperate need of a spark to ignite their slumping offense. It may come in the form of Chris Kreider.
Will The Rangers Be Able To Solve Marc-Andre Fleury In Game 4?
The King has been good for three games, but Penguins counterpart Marc-Andre Fleury has gone from shaky question mark to star of the series with shutouts on consecutive days.
Francesa: 50-50 Chance Chris Kreider Plays On Wednesday Night
"If he's ready, he's gonna play," Francesa said on air on Tuesday afternoon. "I've heard rumblings. I don't have any confirmation, and I don't think there will be any. I would look for him tomorrow, though."
Hartnett: In A Hole, Rangers Are Seeing Signs They Can Turn Series Around
In Game 3, the Blueshirts established offensive-zone time, thoroughly outshot the Pens by a 35 to 15 margin and their power play finally began to show signs of life as the game went on.
Rangers' Vigneault Blasts 'Stupid Schedule' After Game 3 Loss
Alain Vigneault finally took a shot at his club's taxing postseason schedule, but still won't say his players are tired. Judging by their effort in their latest loss to the Penguins, he might be right.
Penguins Shut Out Rangers 2-0 In Game 3
Marc-Andre Fleury earned his second shutout of the New York Rangers in two nights as the Pittsburgh Penguins regained home-ice advantage with a 2-0 victory in Game 3 on Monday night.
Hartnett: Lifeless Power Play, Star Players Fail Rangers In Game 2
The Penguins handed New York three consecutive power play opportunities – and the Blueshirts failed to cash in. What unfolded was the most timid skating any fan has ever seen.
Battle-Weary Rangers Need To Find Extra Gear In Game 3
After taking Game 1 in overtime, New York looked very much like a team playing for the fourth time in six days, losing to the Penguins 3-0. And there's no rest in sight.
Penguins Tie Series At 1 With 3-0 Game 2 Win
Kris Letang broke a scoreless tie in the second period and Marc-Andre Fleury made 22 saves for his seventh playoff shutout to lift the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 3-0 victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday night, tying the second-round series one game apiece.
Hartnett: Rangers' Defensive Stalwarts Made Life Difficult For Crosby In Game 1
Throughout Game 1, Sidney Crosby had little space to operate as Staal, Stralman, McDonagh and Girardi smothered him at every turn.
Silverman: Right Now Crosby Is A Liability And The Penguins Are Overrated
You see all the firepower and it's easy to be in awe of the Penguins. But they are not infallible. In fact, they are loaded with liabilities — and the Rangers will exploit them all.
Hartnett: Rangers Will Eliminate The Penguins In 5 Games
The combination of Vigneault's fresh approach and the natural skill and athleticism possessed by this current group of Rangers means that all the old history between the Pens and Blueshirts can be thrown out the window.
Rangers-Penguins Playoff Series Schedule Announced
It wasn't easy, but the Rangers are moving on after beating Philadelphia 2-1 in Wednesday night's winner-take-all Game 7. Next up: Pittsburgh.
Boomer & Carton: Gregg Giannotti Defends Himself And The Penguins
The Booms needed some clarification before committing to offering a major rating boost to the WFAN alum, therefore Gregg felt inclined to call up and grovel…

i play 15 min games and i have 1800 but i got only 1400 in 1 min game im slow player anyway to improve in 1 min
Because your standard rating is so much higher you're probably thinking too much. Need to set the bar much lower for your moves, it doesn't even matter if you think of them as mistakes, the only criteria is they don't lose immediately to a tactic. Keep your pieces coordinated and do what you usually do out of the opening, but never analyze and just play OK moves as fast as you can. That's where you need to start at least. Once you adjust to the speed you can pick times to think a bit. At first though I'd just practice moving nearly instantly and see how far you can get.For example if there's a complicated tactic / series of forcing moves to do to your opponent, don't analyze it, just do it. If you can spot it and execute it faster than they can then you gain time on the clock. In a 1/0 game you may end up a piece down because of that series of moves, but if you're 15 seconds up then you're more or less winning if you can keep pace with them the rest of the game.
Yeah, I played 10 minute blitz so that I'd have time to think about my moves and learn to play on a deeper level for a long time, but after switching to 5 minute (since that seems to be the standard at my local club) my blitz rating took a 100+ point nosedive and has yet to recover.

According to Jeff Goodman of ESPN, free agent center, Greg Oden, has agreed to a 2-year minimum deal with the Miami Heat – including a player option for the second year.
2007′s No. 1 overall draft pick last played in the NBA in 2009-10 for the Portland Trail Blazers where he averaged 11.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 21 games. His NBA career stalled in 2010 when the Blazers announced Oden would undergo season-ending microfracture surgery on his left knee – the third time his season had been cut short due to knee issues. The 25-year-old center played in just 82 games from the time he was drafted in 2007 until the team waived him in 2012.

Adam Cahill | July 29, 2010 | Comments
Has the request for proposal process run its course?
My family and I are moving to a new house next week, and as we pack up our belongings I'm coming face to face with how much useless stuff we own.
I came across this one contraption in the basement - a set of little ceramic bowls, aluminum mixing spoons, and a Bunsen burner - that had the appearance of something highly illegal. Turns out it was a s'mores making kit. I think we can live without it.
The whole packing process got me thinking about the things we do at work that don't make sense any more. The problem is, absent the stark keep/discard decision that packing up your house forces, most of us just keep on doing them.
That's a missed opportunity, because as Peter Drucker wrote about years ago, the ongoing practice of abandoning behaviors that no longer make sense is something that separates great companies from also-rans.
So what would it mean to clean house for digital marketers?
Let's start at the tip of the iceberg, with the request for proposal (RFP) - a process that's begging for big changes, if not total abandonment.
The request for proposal process is a relic of an era when an online media plan was a perfectly comprised collection of distinct publisher sites. Agencies would write up a campaign description, send it to sites, and they came back with ideas, placements, and pricing.
The request for proposal process allowed agencies to create apples-to-apples comparisons of site proposals, usually along dimensions like reach, composition, cost, value-add, and impact. Once the request for proposals were returned, they paved the way for negotiation.
The request for proposal may still have some utility, but it has too many gaps to be the primary driver of planning in this era.
First of all, the agency's job isn't just to pick the best 10 sites for a plan anymore. In today's marketplace, only a small percentage of all impressions are sold directly by publisher sales forces, with the vast majority sold through networks and exchanges.
The job today is about assembling the right combination of approaches - some based on content, some based on audiences - not just the right combination of properties.
The job today is increasingly driven by newer considerations: data overlays, social connections, and mobile usage, to name three. These approaches all have unique characteristics that aren't easily reduced to apples-to-apples spreadsheet comparisons. There is just too much nuance and too much change to think that the same process that worked 10 years ago can be as effective today.
Another failing of the request for proposal process is that it outsources media creativity to publishers. I think it's a lot to ask of a publisher to come up with great ideas based on a brief sent over e-mail and probably due in a few days. Plus, it puts the agency team in the role of judge, picking the best ideas submitted by others.
That's a very passive stance. To add real value, by delivering inspired ideas that get noticed by time-starved consumers, the agency needs to be much more active in the process.
I think a more effective model for the world we work in today would be guided by much deeper collaboration between agencies and the publishers and media technology partners they work with.
Agencies have access to more than enough data from both historical campaigns and third-party research to develop a very sound short list before active planning begins. From there, the short-listed partners can be brought in to discuss, brainstorm, and craft solutions.
Partners would be given much more visibility into the entire context of a plan, including the other components of it. They'd be given information about past performance beyond "you performed well/you didn't perform well" so that they could make appropriate adjustments. In short, they'd become part of the team.
I can think of two potential downsides of this approach, although I'm sure there are others.
One: this is a lot more work, for both the agency and the partners. But it's hard for me to see how this couldn't yield better outcomes for clients, so increased time requirements isn't a viable excuse. We'll just need to strip out activities that don't add value to make time for those that do.
Two: there's the risk that by treating short-listed partners with more openness the agency loses some negotiating power. Maybe. But I think that bringing partners into the fold could actually be its own incentive to keep pricing competitive and deliver programs that make financial sense. Plus, the advent of the exchange marketplace has created such overall transparency that agencies are armed with plenty of information to guide pricing discussions, even without the request for proposal. When it's all said and done, I don't think pricing would increase.
Great media planning today isn't about evaluating, it's about creating. We need to make sure our processes help us toward that end.

A Vegan No More - The Story of a Recovering Vegan
Note: This is the story of a former hardcore vegan who quit and went back to eating meat. Veganism, it turned out, was killing her physically, and it led to a epiphany for her – humans are supposed to eat meat. She decided that veganism was a direct contradiction of her being human. It is perhaps a sad commentary on the radicalism in the vegan movement that this person received tons of hate messages as a result of telling her story, including threats against her and her family. A Vegan No More - The Story of a Recovering Vegan as posted by Tasha at http://voraciouseats.com/ Many of you know that I have recently been struggling for the first time in my life with health problems. When I discovered that my problems were a direct result of my vegan diet I was devastated. 2 months ago, after learning the hard way that not everyone is capable of maintaining their health as a vegan, I made one of the most difficult decisions of my life and gave up veganism and returned to eating an omnivorous diet. My health immediately returned. This experience has been humbling, eye-opening, and profoundly transformative. To hear the whole story just keep reading… Part 1 – Health Shock

Birds Bouncing Badly
Two birds have already bounced off my office windows this morning - one hit the window across from my desk and the other dive-bombed into the window on my left - and it's not even 9am. Yesterday, a bird bounced off the other window across from my desk. Fortunately, they all seemed to have survived. But it seems to be the season for bombardier birds, because last weekend I got a frantic email from a friend who lives about 5 miles from me saying that 14 robins had bounced off the glassed-in room at the front of her house. Sadly, these fellows were not so fortunate as mine.In Feng Shui, birds are considered powerful symbols of new opportunities that are there for you, even in times of adversity. So, I figured it was time to consult my colleagues at the International Feng Shui Guild (IFSG) about this one.
"Any Feng Shui significance with birds flying into windows?" I posted on the Guild's special private Facebook page.
"Sadly, this is likely a very mundane problem," wrote Mia Staysko, Chair of the IFSG Board. "Usually, at two times of the year windows in buildings reflect in such a way as to make it appear that they are not there. The poor birds simply cannot see them."
I appreciated Mia's explanation, and in fact the lighting was strange the morning my friend had her bird bombardment - the sun was gleaming off the mountains that were covered with new snow. Within seconds the sun got brighter and fog rolled in and created this eerie light so we couldn't see anything, and that could have easily spooked the birds.
But of course, since the IFSG welcomes all approaches to Feng Shui I wasn't surprised to read a different take on the issue. "The robin is the symbol of spring and of new growth," wrote another colleague, and whenever birds hit windows like that it's the universe trying to get the attention of the people in the home." Another colleague suggested that the message from the birds was to ask where you're resisting growth in your life or in the affected bagua area. And another added that death of a bird or any animal is about transformation for the observer. "It seems like the people in the bird-bombed house are resisting moving forward in some area of their life."
OK, now I'm listening.
And leave it to the always-grounded Mia to come back with another take on my bouncing birds. "I don't mean to rain on the metaphysical parade with this explanation," she added, "but sometimes there is meaning in things and sometimes birds just hit windows. And if it was a big flock who tend to stick together, if one goes down, they all follow."
Last summer a hummingbird flew into our garage. It perched on the bright red and blue cross-country skis hanging on the wall (I never knew hummingbirds could stop flapping their wings long enough to perch but it did), and then after a minute it flew up into the skylight. When it couldn't get outside that way it flew back to the skis. The poor little thing did this four times as we gently tried to use a broom to aim it toward the open door. Finally, it got the message, flew out the door, and then went straight up like a rocket until it disappeared into the stratosphere.
So, okay, maybe I'm the one with the bird issue after all. My Feng Shui colleagues advise putting decals on the windows. My granddaughter Izzy says I should put out a warning sign for the birds. Maybe it's time for my friend and I to sit down with a bottle of Grey Goose to toast our bouncing birds and try to figure out just what transformation we're resisting.
A Different Kind of Valentine's Day Tip
Tell me they didn't really do this: Australia-based Jetstar Airways teamed with a Feng Shui Master to launch a Valentine's campaign called "Love is in the Zodiac Pair" that supposedly uses Feng Shui to match compatible single flyers, then chooses the best seats, destinations, and activities to make them fall in love. For example, single flyers born in the Year of Horse are matched with flyers born in the Year of the Goat, and these couples should sit in row nine, 19 or 29 and travel to Jakarta.Wait, it gets worse.
In the first seven hours after the campaign's launch, the site had already received more than 5,000 applications.
OK, shoot me now.
It ticks me off when anyone trivializes Feng Shui because I've seen it work for so many people, and it's an especially cheap shot for Jetstar to invoke love and Valentine's Day. This holiday already makes a whole lot of people feel insecure with its focus on idolized versions of love and the perfect way to spend the day.
Yes, I've been as guilty as every other Feng Shui practitioner who writes about Valentine's Day. Right now the Articles Section of my web site includes 27 Feng Shui Tips to Rev Up Your Romance, Feng Shui Tips to Attract Love, and Romantic Dining Ideas. That last one even got me a mention in the Washington Post a few years ago. Mea culpa!
Does there really need to be so much pressure on one day of the year? My husband and I stopped going out on Valentine's Day years ago because we got tired of the "assembly line" way restaurants handled the crush of diners. We discovered that if we go out the very next evening or a few nights later, the prices are back to normal and we don't have to settle for their prix fixe menus. Lovely.
So, this year I'm offering some different tips for Valentine's Day instead of my usual "rev up your love life" post.
First, let's talk about how to be alone on V-day. In her great newsletter, Relationship Specialist Kelly Chisholm shares sage advice for spending Valentine's Day alone in the article "How to Cope With Being Alone on Valentine's Day." The tips range from getting together with single friends or special relatives and expanding your notion of what type of love this day is meant to celebrate. The message is that a Valentine can be anyone who's special to you, including you - and that's where the Feng Shui comes in.
The upper right area of your home is usually referred to as the Love/Relationship Area of the Feng Shui bagua, but it's also related to self-esteem and self-love. So here's my different kind of Feng Shui love tip: Plan to do some clearing and rearranging in that area on Valentine's Day and you just might reap rewards beyond a box of chocolates and a red rose.
What's Behind Door #1?
I get a lot of questions after my monthly ezine goes out, and this month I answered one about which door to use when orienting the Feng Shui bagua, the front door or the door from the garage to the house. The simple answer is the "front door," because it's the way your home was designed to be entered, but deciding which is Door #1 for you is far more complex."Thank you so much for your book and informative newsletter, I'm a fan," Sheryl wrote. "My question is, which door is the primary, the front door we never use, or the garage/laundry door we use all the time?"
Ah, there's the phrase that got me thinking: we never use the front door. Many of us hardly ever open our front door because we pull right into the garage. In Feng Shui, the front door is called the "mouth of chi" because that's where all the positive energy and wealth enters your home. So if you don't open the front door, symbolically you don't open yourself up to the possibilities to attract wealth. So I suggested to Sheryl that she try using the front door more often, even if she only opens the door each morning to greet the day.
That still doesn't solve the problem of entering your house through the laundry room, mudroom, or cluttered hallway each and every time you come home. Not the most relaxing site to come home to, is it?
"If you come in through the garage like I do," I advised Sheryl, "make sure that entrance is as pleasing as your front entrance. Paint the door between the garage and house the same as your front door, use the same door mat, and if you decorate your front door for holidays do the same with your entry door." I reminded her that in Feng Shui thinking, an attached garage is considered one of the rooms in your house so you need to decorate it with the same care as you do with the rest of your home.
I often suggest that people decorate the area around the door from the garage to the house with bright, cheerful art that welcomes you home. Or, hang a bulletin board or white board near the door where you can post a joke of the week, family photos from the past weekend, or upbeat messages to each other. You work hard all day and coming home should make you smile.
What do you see when you pull into your garage - a can of dried up paint and an old set of tires, or something attractive? Email me and let me know.
Cemeteries and Other Kinds of Predecessor Chi
The vicious fire that destroyed a New Jersey apartment complex caused quite a lot of comment among my colleagues in the International Feng Shui Guild. Of course we're all relieved there were no injuries, but it was the location of the fire and the fact that this was the second fire on the same location that had everyone buzzing. Seems there used to be a cemetery on the site, which means constructing a building there was a Feng Shui no-no.One colleague who lived down the street from the site in the 90's remembers an open courtyard with a cemetery, and to make matters worse, an industrial plant that produced toxic chemicals.
In Feng Shui as in real estate, it's all about location, location, location. And the location of this particular complex resonated with me because there are several current cemeteries nearby, plus unidentified ancient Native American burial sites. I find cemeteries to be peaceful locations, and my husband and I have had fun "family-history" trips traipsing through rural cemeteries to find his ancestors' graves. But would I recommend building on top of one? No Feng Shui way!
In Chinese Feng Shui, a cemetery is thought to have the strong yin chi of death that draws positive chi away from the surrounding homes. That means living near a cemetery could deplete your personal energy over time. Plus, ancestors play an important role in Feng Shui so you want to honor the predecessor chi of their gravesites, not build on top of them.
Predecessor chi is the term for the residual energy in land, structures, and objects. You know how sometimes you go into a building or house and you just can't wait until you can get out of there because something doesn't feel right? Or, you're attracted to one antique but repelled by another? That's all predecessor chi. Predecessor chi isn't always negative. I have clients in different parts of the country who say they have ghosts in their houses and like this predecessor chi just fine. But, I'm working with more clients lately who need the energy of the former occupants honored and cleared out before they bring their own positive energy into a space.
A chemical plant creates toxic predecessor chi, and no matter how skillfully the site is environmentally remediated, sometimes it also needs Feng Shui. I'm working with a commercial client who's building on the remediated site of a former chemical plant. The project is experiencing unexpected snafus and delays, and I can't help but think that the site's predecessor chi is still too strong.
The official cause of the New Jersey fire was a blowtorch used in a plumbing repair, and of course there's no way to ever prove whether the fire had anything to do with a burial site below or the predecessor chi above. But it sure makes me think that some open space needs to be left as that - open space.
Packing and Detaching to Sell Your Home
I received an upbeat email from Adele, a client in the UK, who wrote that she had a full price offer to sell her house. That was a quick change, because just six days earlier she had written that although she had a steady flow of viewers there hadn't been any offers. "People seem really tempted," said Adele, "but no one has committed."I'm hearing the same story from many clients who ask me for Feng Shui tips to help sell their homes. Yes, I do know why their homes are getting "lookers" instead of buyers: They haven't detached from their current home.
"I transformed my house using your book," said Adele, "and things went from good, to better, to brilliant! I enjoy a lovely, peaceful, happy life that's full of love and happiness," she added. Adele's passion for life was so reignited by her Feng Shui makeover that she decided to "take the plunge" to move to Australia!
My question to Adele and to all my home sellers is this: "You've just closed on the sale of your house and you have the check in hand, where are you going to spend the night?" Adele's answer, like others who are having trouble selling a home, is some variation of "I'll figure that out after I sell the house." There's your trouble! When you don't know where you're moving, you never really "pack up" and detach, and your house reflects that indecision. Buyers sense this and are in no hurry to make an offer. They move on to look at other properties because they think your house will still be there, and they often don't come back.
"Have I missed anything?" Adele asked. "Your book says to pack five valuable items in anticipation of a sale, but I haven't done that yet."
My book recommends getting a moving box and packing up five of your most valued treasures, then sealing it up as a sign that you're ready, willing, and able to move. "I'm not sure the number of items will make the difference," I told Adele, "but the packing up part is critical."
Adele had used Feng Shui to create such a comfortable home that although she was excited about her Australian adventure, it was hard to leave. Once she detached and depersonalize her home by packing up the things that made her so connected to it, like magic the perfect buyer appeared.
"I'm convinced my packing up and detaching is the reason," she told me.
Bon voyage, Adele!
Caught Up in Cobwebs
Last Wednesday I woke up to a vista of freezing fog. Fog is a rarity in this arid Santa Fe climate to begin with, so freezing fog was quite a shock. As I walked from the bedroom past the living room windows something odd caught my eye - hanging from the vigas (that's what we call rounded beams in Santa Fe) on the back portal (that's a Santa Fe porch) was what looked like a ripped linen curtain. And the more I looked, the more of them I saw, along with frozen cobwebs of every shape. The portal looked like someone had decorated it for Halloween. And that's when I realized the vigas must have been covered with cobwebs that had become wet with fog, then frozen into these ghostly shapes. They had been unseen in the daylight.I went out to sweep it all away, but it was cold, the wind was howling, and my ladder didn't reach high enough, so I decided it would have to wait till my (taller) husband came home. Later that evening, we went out with brooms in hand, but despite the bright portal lights and two iPhone flashlights we couldn't find one cobweb. Seems that when the fog receded the webs disintegrated, leaving only my photos as proof of their existence.
But what was the reason for all of this, at the beginning of the year no less?
You've probably heard me say it before, in Feng Shui cobwebs represent being so stuck and caught up that you can't move forward (you knew I was going to get to Feng Shui eventually). Plus, an accumulation of cobwebs creates obstacles in the bagua area it occupies. In my home, the portal sweeps across the bagua area that represents Future/Fame/Reputation. And it's true that I've been putting off making decisions about that part of my career. I was definitely caught up on the unseen cobwebs. So, I've decided that the fog symbolically cleared the way for me to dream my dreams and create my future plans - and that's definitely a great way to start off the year.
Are there actual or emotional cobwebs holding you back? Take a good look at the areas of your home that you don't use, or use less often, in the colder weather and do a clean sweep of the walls, floor, ceiling, and furniture to clear away real cobwebs, and you'll clear unseen obstacles holding you back.
Marsala Wine with Everything
I've put off writing about "Marsala," Pantone's Color of the Year 2015, because I couldn't decide whether to consider it an Earth Element for its brown tones or a Fire Element for its red wine hues. Pantone's glowing descriptions of Marsala weren't much help because they ranged from "rich reddish brown" and "nurturing and fulfilling," to "hearty yet stylish" and "stirring and flavorful." Pantone also called Marsala "hinting at the dregs of a bottle of wine." Wait, really? Is 2015 going to be characterized by what's left at the bottom of a wine bottle? I do like this color, but that analogy doesn't work for me from a Feng Shui perspective.Each year Pantone forecasts the most popular colors that we'll see in décor, fashion, and graphic design. The announcement has a cult-like following among designers and retailers looking to improve sales, and among Feng Shui practitioners like me who want to use the color to enhance clients' homes and offices.
I must admit I'm not usually a fan of orange, but I was smitten with the Fire Element Tangerine Tango in 2012. Maybe it was just that great name. Emerald in 2013 was a terrific choice because it's the Wood Element that represents growth, and we needed more of that while our economy was still recovering. Last year's Radiant Orchid was a miss for me because we were already overwhelmed with too much Fire Element energy.
Other companies choose colors of the year but don't necessarily agree, although earthy colors seem to dominate in 2015 choices. Sherwin-Williams picked Coral Reef, and AkzoNobel chose Copper Orange, both colors are Fire/Earth Element blends, while Benjamin Moore selected Guilford Green, a Wood Element.
But, let's get back to my dilemma of how to classify Marsala in terms of the Five Elements. "Marsala enriches our mind, body, and soul, exuding confidence and stability," says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute. Now there's a Feng Shui description for a color of the year that I can live with.
Marsala is a hybrid because it has Earth Element brown at its root to keep you grounded, combine with a dab of Fire Element red to help you power up. My suggestion is to use Marsala as the Earth Element where you need more stability, but use it as the Fire Element where you want a bit more pizzazz.

After reading Pixie's latest I had a thought about the cruel irony of gaming. So we all have jobs or education or something that takes up a lot of our time. Well, even those who don't probably don't spend all day, everyday, gaming anyway(!). So when we're feeling sick and can't go to work, attend classes or focus on studies, it's a great time to give the ol' gaming platform of choice a spin! But herein lies the problem, most of the time you just don't feel like gaming, even though you have plenty of time and nothing better to do.
As I mentioned I once tried to play F-Zero GX to distract my mind from the horrible hangover I was suffering with not so great results! It probably wasn't the best choice in hindsight but I did try Metroid Prime too and it didn't make me feel better either. But some games must be better than others when the fever is eating away at your mind and you're coughing up your lungs right?
If I try for example to play a RPG when I'm feeling like shit I just can't get any enjoyment out of it. I don't know if it's because being constantly reminded of your real and hurting body takes away much of the immersion or if it's just that thinking about stuff in general is a pain in the ass. I typically try to play something that's easy on the optic nerve and doesn't involve much planning, organizing or micro management. Preferably it's on a handheld, curled up under a blanket with a cup of tea, away from the prying eyes of the world. Something like Pokémon.
So what do you guys play when you feel like you've just been to Jonathan Holmes' Planetarium, or just feel generally broken?

Pope tells priests, show mercy; tells faithful, pester your priests
Always be merciful, just like Jesus, who came to forgive, not condemn, Pope Francis told new priests.
"Always have in front of your eyes the example of the Good Shepherd, who didn't come to be served, but to serve and to look for and save those who were lost," he said in his homily Sunday, the World Day of Prayer for Vocations.
The pope's remarks came during an ordination Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, where the pope ordained 13 new priests.

How To Stop Your Weimaraner From Biting
- 01/12/2013
Many Weimaraner owners want to know how to stop their Weimaraner from biting, and it can be very hard on the owner trying to work out how to control the behaviour. A Weimaraner that bites is insufferable at first. But as they grow older, they become a danger, both to your immediate family and other people. If your Weimaraner biting people starts to manifest, take action quickly to stop it no matter how old they are.
How to Stop Your Puppy from Biting
The best and most crucial time to identify this type of behaviour and nip it in the bud is when the Weimaraner is still at a young age. A puppy who is under five to six months of age will be fairly easy to rehabilitate, because your puppy is still in the developmental years of its lifetime.
The major problem is that people believe their puppy is just teething or messing around and isn't really trying to bite to hurt them. The puppy is in reality working out how to emphasize its position in the household. The puppy will bite you to show that it is in control. To stop your puppy from biting it has to start right now when they are open to suggestion.
There are a variety of ways you can stop your Weimaraner from biting. Most will copy the way the puppy will be treated by its mother and litter mates. A light nip on the top of the neck, a whinging noise when have been bitten, and where you give the Weimaraner a chew toy instead of biting on your fingers are good ways to teach your Weimaraner that biting is not tolerable.
How to Stop Weimaraner Biting at One Year
If a Weimaraner starts biting it will think that it is okay and that it is in control of the home. It will start to bite more often when it is a youngster around about one year old. There are many influences that can be contributing to this behaviour. You should stop playing dominance related games with your Weimaraner like tug of war, wrestling or other such types of games.
Also do not give your Weimaraner full access to the house. Give them restrictions, cut down on where they can and can't go, even crate train them if you want to. A good program for obedience training can be helpful with Weimaraner biting issues.
How to Stop Weimaraner Biting as they Get Older
If your Weimaraner biting issues continues to get in the way with their overall behaviour, it will turn into a very large problem when your dog is fully grown. The Weimaraner might retaliate against their owner but the Weimaraner will always puts himself as the dominant leader of the household.
You will need to find professional help straightaway if your dog is still trying to bite anyone after one year of age. Because there is severe danger here that the Weimaraner might choose to emphasize its authority at any time by attacking anything that it interprets as a threat.
