So far, when I've used Jen Fulwiler's Saint Generator to pick a saint to learn about and from for the month, I've mostly pulled saints I hadn't heard of before, from times and places that are very far from me. Today, when I visited her randomizer, it spun up a saint I already love very much: Saint Maximilian Kolbe.I think the first time I heard of him was in RCIA (people in the class were supposed to pick out and present lives of various saints at each class), and I had the same kind of … [Read more...]
"Love Unconcerned with Being Returned"
Fear of the Friendzone, Wire Monkeys, and Communion
Why do people have so much contempt for "the Friendzone"? Part of the problem is that we've defined romantic love as the highest form of emotional and physical intimacy, so missing out on dating feels like missing out on communion. At The American Conservative, I'm talking a little about this problem in "Our Starved for Touch Culture." In the wake of the Santa Barbara shootings, the unpleasant underbelly of the pickup artist community (PUA), involuntary celibates (incels), and other unhealthy … [Read more...]
Making a Home for the Homely in Romance
I don't follow the opera world, but critics made enough of a stir about the attractiveness (insufficient, in their judgement) of a mezzo-soprano in an English production Der Rosenkavalier for the conversation to cross over to the mainstream media. The NYT brought together two classical music reviewers to comment, and I was particularly struck by this analysis by Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim:[O]pera has a complicated history of celebrating and exploiting women, and I can't help feeling that th … [Read more...]

(Oh, and if you haven't heard of LMGTFY, then, here, let me Google that for you). Even new, online forms of association and friendship can suffer f … [Read more...]
A Trans-Atlantic Dating Gap
By playing the clip below, you can get a sense of my level of bafflement when I read these remarks by French GQ sex columnist Maïa Mazaurette.In an interview with New York, Mazaurette summarized the difference between the American and French approaches to sex and dating.So tell me, how would you describe the French attitude toward sex?

Practicing Custody of the Eyes Online
I'm covering the recent E.U. court decision that Google needed to remove "irrelevant" links from its search results over at The American Conservative today. While truth has usually been a defense to charges of libel, Google is running into a higher standard in Europe. The European Union Court of Justice, considering the threat that Google can pose to privacy, seems to be applying a standard closer to the "Is it True? Is it Kind? Is it Necessary?" test.In the press release announcing their de … [Read more...]
You've Got a (Vowed) Friend in Me
A Queer Calling, an excellent blog run by two celibate women living in partnership together, recently did a little explainer on adelphopoiesis (also known as the brother-making rite) that some people have tried to adapt or reclaim as a blessing for same sex relationships. The Queer Calling women don't make any assumptions about the goals of other people using the rite, but explain why it doesn't make sense for their relationship: Though we do acknowledge that all members of the Church are … [Read more...]

The pilot was on board and apparently no sign of this couple. We were on our balcony to watch as we prepared to sail. Lots of others were aware of the saga unfolding too.

Cool Costume Ideas?/ Newbie with Questions
Hi everyone,
I'm not new to sewing, but I'm not very good at it. I've done very little of it since my first pillow project in 8th grade. I have a machine, which hardly gets used except when mom makes curtains or "garment repairs" (loose threads, hems on pants, etc.) I cannot sew a straight line on machines and I always make uneven stitches when I hand sew (try at least). Pillows is about all I'm good at making. I'm more of a crocheter (lot of teasing of that in high school
Anyways, I saw this cool YouTube video about someone making
a really neat costume (the one they modeled it after is a real piece of work!) They state it was time consuming (8 months!) and was costly over a long period. Are there any neat Halloween that you've made that you're really proud of? I'll provide the link to the video.
Brad AKA Moonwolf
No costume ideas, but I can help you sew a straight line. When you sew don't look at the needle. You have lines marked in fractions of an inch on the needle plate. Pick the one that you want the seam allowance to be, put the edge of the fabric on that line and sew your seam. You look at the edge of the fabric and that line and not at the needle. Keep the edge on that line and you will have a perfectly straight seam.
Hey Brad AKA Moonwolf,
I know you posted this a while back, but I'm new and just enjoying reading the past threads.
Here's a costume I did for a horseshow costume class in 2008. It didn't cost anywhere near $1000 (like Ursala did), but I was pretty proud of it. And we did win a blue ribbon!

Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

Texas Instruments unveils WEBENCH Schematic Export online tool
Dec 05, 2012 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Texas Instruments Incorporated, or TI, has unveiled WEBENCH Schematic Export, a new online tool that exports analog designs from TI's WEBENCH Design Center to computer-aided design, or CAD, development platforms from Cadence Design Systems, Inc., Mentor Graphics and Altium.
Developed by TI, and in cooperation with the makers of the CAD development platforms, WEBENCH Schematic Export now enables the engineer to instantly export these LED lighting designs to a variety of platforms, such as Cadence OrCAD Capture CIS, Mentor Graphics DxDesigner and Altium formats such as Altium Designer, the company said.
Design performance can be simulated in WEBENCH Designer and Architect prior to export and WEBENCH Schematic Export is supported with schematic symbols for more than 30,000 components, the company added.
"Engineers know that TI's WEBENCH tools considerably reduce the time to create power and LED lighting designs," said Chris Donato, Altium Sales Director, Americas.
"With the addition of WEBENCH Schematic Export, the engineer no longer needs to manually enter the design into the CAD platform, nor is there a need to worry about errors made in the process. Now, designs created with WEBENCH Schematic Export easily and expertly convert to Altium Designer in seconds."

Do you find yourself wrestling your body out of bed in the morning? Eyeing your desktop at work as a potential napping locale? Barely summoning enough energy to make it through your workout? On top of feeling dog tired, are you forgetting things, struggling to concentrate or even having trouble doing simple tasks with your hands?
Your chief complaint at the doctor's office: fatigue or lack of energy, so much so that your malaise is getting in the way of work performance and home life. What you're eating–and not eating–can make the difference between crawling through your day in slow motion and feeling revved up for virtually anything. Here's a handful of food tips and strategies for keeping your body and mind energized.
Along with apples, pears, nuts and parsley, raisins are a great source of the mineral boron, which plays a role in brain function, perhaps combating drowsiness. In a series of studies performed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), healthy men and women were put on low-boron diets for several weeks. Another group ate the same foods but took a boron supplement. All subjects underwent a battery of tests that assessed brain function, such as brain-wave activity, and cognitive skills, including memory, attention and manual dexterity.
Compared to the supplement group, subjects on the boron-deficient diet suffered from slowed brain activity, indicating drowsiness. Researchers also noted a deterioration in cognitive skills among the low-boron group. We don't yet know how much boron is needed for healthy brain function, and in fact, boron hasn't even made it onto the "official" list of essential nutrients. But USDA researchers gave study subjects 3 to 4 milligrams of boron, a dosage equivalent to that found in about 3 ounces of raisins and 1 ounce of almonds. So, it couldn't hurt to toss a few raisins and nuts into your cereal and salads, and pack some snack-size boxes or packets along to the office for afternoon grazing.
According to research, people who cut back on calories in an effort to slim down perform poorly on tests of memory and mental processing. Dr. Mike Green, a psychologist at the Institute of Food Research in Reading, Pa., tested the mental performance of people on weight-reducing diets, versus that of subjects who weren't dieting. He found that the slowed mental performance seen in dieters was comparable to the impairment alcohol can cause.
While some researchers argue that poor mental performance stems from inadequate flow of energy to the brain, Dr. Green theorizes that the results of his study reflect dieters' feelings of anxiety rather than poor nutrition. When dieting, most people start thinking a lot more about food and worrying about their dieting efforts. This type of distraction affects mental processing capacity. More serious effects were seen in dieters who weren't losing weight than in those who were, supporting the theory that anxiety may play a role in undermining mental performance.
If you're whittling calories to lose weight, avoid radical dieting, which is sure to leave you feeling drained. As always, the best route to weight loss is to boost your activity level to burn more calories, rather than skimp on food. After all, you have better things to do than worry about your next meal.
These are two of the best food sources of selenium, a mineral that not only serves as an antioxidant but may also boost mood, lift spirits and contribute to feelings of clearheadedness. Researchers at the USDA's Human Nutrition Center in Grand Forks, N.Dak., tracked the effects of varying selenium in-takes on men's mood profiles for 15 weeks. Half of the men in the study consumed 40 percent of the recommended daily selenium requirement, while the other half took in about 350 percent.
When researchers tested the moods of both groups, the high-selenium group felt more elated than depressed, more energetic than tired, more clearheaded than confused and more confident than unsure. Sounds like a fabulous "drug" to me. But before you rush out and buy a selenium supplement, be aware that this mineral is highly toxic in large doses. Stick to dosages no greater than 400 micrograms, or about five to seven times the daily requirement (which is 70 micrograms for men, 55 micrograms for women). Better yet, concentrate on getting selenium from your diet. In addition to tuna and nuts, other good food sources include chicken, turkey, lean beef and whole-grain breads and cereals.
Skipping breakfast, the most important meal of the day, can leave you feeling lackluster and muddle-headed at work. Many studies on children have shown that reading, memory and other cognitive skills falter when they miss breakfast. It appears that the brain is sensitive to short-term deficits in fuel and nutrient supply. Going all night without food, followed by a foodless morning, causes some folks' blood sugar levels to dip, bringing on a light-headed feeling. And since sugar (in the form of glucose) is the brain's primary fuel source, it's no wonder your memory and other thinking powers go downhill when you're running on empty.

Awtysst's Latest Stupid Draft Thoughts
Life has a way of changing plans. I had wanted to do 4 mocks for April but life circumstances altered those plans. Furthermore, this may or may not be my final mock of this year. With other things needing my attention, I put together a very fast mock with little explanation.
The draft is less than 2 weeks away. So this may/may not serve as my final Texans Mock.
1. Malcolm Jenkins-CB/S Ohio State
As yall know, I have been high on Clay Matthews, but I think one of two things will happen. 1) He will be cleared of the steroid rumor and will proceed to get taken before out pick. 2) He will be guilty of the steroid rumor and will not be our pick. Either way, we dont take him here. Personally, I think a trade down is our best choice opportunity here. If not, I think we take Jenkins.
2. Clint Sintim, OLB-Virginia
Its hard to say if he will be there. Some people have him going in the late first, others in the mod second. If he is there, we must grab him. If he is not here, maybe DE Lawrence Sidbury could be the pick here.
3. Chris Baker-DT Hampton
A monster DT that can play the run and still get to the QB. Behind Raji, he is the best suited DT in the draft for the Texans. He can clog, penetrate, and is a great athlete. We could use a guy like him on the line.
4(a). Andre Brown-RB N.C. State
A solid complimentary back that can catch as well. He is 225 with 4.5 speed. He will hit the hole with power and can be our solution to those sticky third and 1 or 3rd and 2 situations. He also has the speed to break a short run into a 20+ yard run.
4(b) Henry Melton-DE Texas
This pick is made under the assumption we get Sintim in the 1st. If we dont, then we may go after Marcus Freeman OLB. I think taking a flier on Melton is a good idea. He can start out as a situational DE and grow from there.
5. A.Q. Shipley-C Penn State
Finally, we get our center. He is a smart guy has a high motor and has great technique. He can learn the nuances of the ZBS very quickly and could probably start from day 1.
6. Myron Pryor - DT Kentucky
The 6th round is very unpredictable. There are two routes to go: take an unproven guy with a little flash or take a guy with big talent that had an injury. I say go the later. If the guy heals, you have higher value. If not, cut him, its the 6th round afterall. Pryor has had some leg injuries but if he is ready to go he can play like a 2nd or 3rd rounder. I say take a chance on him!
7. George Bussey- OG Louisville
A solid ZBS depth OG. He can compete for a spot or even get onto the practice squad for a year. Its the 7th, if you see a guy who can be of value, you grab him!

Re: Awtysst's Latest Stupid Draft Thoughts
You lost me at hello....recovered on the second day. So who are you projecting Malcome replacing for a starters roll out of camp ? Just curios there.
Sintim ....is stiff in the hips. Now if they lose Demeco....you will look like a bloody genius. Sintim will never stand up outside in a 4-3....never. And I've seen nothing this off season that they are contemplating using a hybrid 3-4 ? Have you ?

Re: Awtysst's Latest Stupid Draft Thoughts
1. Jenkins, good player and good pick. Where would you play him at CB or FS?
2. Sintim, good player but stiff. He'd be good against the run but lacks pass coverage ability that we'd need against TE's and RB's.
3. Baker, good player but why do we need another DT/NT we just signed Cody and have plenty of DT's.
4. Brown, great player and fits our system perfectly but unrealistic in the 4th, he'll probably go in the late 2nd round.
4. Melton, I don't know anything about him but feel there are bigger needs not yet addressed that need to be. Freeman will be gone by the 4th round as well, maybe late 2nd or early 3rd.
5. Shipley, good player but ridiculously short arms that may hurt him in the NFL, he'd upgrade our line and may play OG instead.
6. Pryor, good player but again why do we need another DT. Maybe as a rotational guy.
7. Bussey, I don't know anything about him but your right our O-line needs some upgrade and depth.
Overall ehhhhh, you didn't address SS at all and I think O-line should be addressed earlier.

Re: Awtysst's Latest Stupid Draft Thoughts
im ok with your picks. its a little d-line heavy but thats ok i guess. doubt jenkins gets to 15 and isnt andre brown supposed to have some character concerns. lately ive been hoping to take maybin and everette brown @ 15 but dont rly think it will happen. my number one hope now is to get a trade down scenario thats adds a 3rd rd pick for us. lions @ 20 (plus 65) would be perfect, then:
20. Clay 3, OLB, USC
45. Lawrence Sidbury, DE, Richmond
65. Rashad Johnson, S, Alabama
77. Rashad Jennings, RB, Liberty
4a. Fili Moala, DT, USC
4b. Bradley Fletcher, CB, Iowa
Depth (esp o-line, te & maybe wr) the rest of the way
probably wont all reach those spots but that would be my dream draft pretty much

Re: Awtysst's Latest Stupid Draft Thoughts
also, just because we brought in Smith doesn't keep DE from being a legit need on our defense. we still need a pass rusher to keep pressure on which would also allow Bush to move Smith inside on passing downs. Melton fills this need.
lastly this draft isn't about who he hopes will be drafted, its who he THINKS will be drafted (he did the want one last time and we crucified him for it). and Smithiak LOVE this O-line, so don't expect to see an early pick used on an upgrade there.

Re: Awtysst's Latest Stupid Draft Thoughts
Thanks for the feedback.
I have noticed a couple of things and have completely redone my mock. It will be posted next week. That will serve as the last mock I will do. This final mock will include some surprises and will be based on what I would want the team to do. I do not have any sources, so I have no clue what they actually will do.

Re: Awtysst's Latest Stupid Draft Thoughts
If Jenkins falls to 15 and he's the pick I'd pee myself. Despite the lack of top end speed he's got the best instincts of any corner in the draft IMO.
I'm ok with the Stintim pick, but I'd really like to address the interior of our OL with the second pick Wood or Ugner (If still available) would be my pick.
I'm not sure about Baker, but fits the bill this staff goes on picking a small school flyer in the third. Personally I'm tired of taking them and hoping they work out. If we don't take OL in the second we could go RB that falls or OC Caldwell of 'Bama,Luigis of Arkansas,or Levitre of Oregon.
Not sure if Brown will be there But a guy like Coffey(sp?), Spiller, Javon Ringer, PJ Hill wouldn't be bad options in the fourth.
I'm ok with Melton but I think he could be had later. Good athlete but still learning to be a DE.
If we haven't addressed OC earlier I'm ok with Shipley. I just don't want another center that'll get pushed back at the LOS.
another DT?
Good with help at OG.
While I do think our defense needs help I'm also hoping a change in the staff will utilize the talent we've got better. I like our OL except for Brisiel and Myers.

CASS-India Reaction
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will soon visit the Island nations of Indian Ocean region to reinforce India's foreign policy objectives as part of South Asian neighborhood diplomacy. This visit will be significant in many respects as he will be visiting Sri Lanka, Seychelles, Maldives and Mauritius, which can be great maritime partners for India in the strategically sensitive Indian Ocean region. Apart from strengthening relations, Modi government is planning to offer military and civil assistance to these island nations for capacity building to ensure maritime security in the region. Successive Indian government has long neglected these island nations and now the new Indian government is putting efforts to win some of the lost ground to enhance India's strategic reach.
Going by India's sharp rise in power politics, Narendra Modi's visit to four island nations is a well thought out plan as part of India's foreign policy currently being pursued by the new NDA government. However, India's past negligence is quite visible.
No Indian PM has visited Sri Lanka in the past 28 years and the last visit to Seychelles was made only by former PM Indira Gandhi. Therefore, Modi's visit to these countries holds great significance as he is keen to regain the lost ground in the close neighborhood.

Special session all but certain with no budget progress
ST. PAUL -- One comment says it all: "Not much progress was made."
With those words, House Minority Leader Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, summarized this morning's budget talks between legislative leaders and Gov. Mark Dayton.
Facing a Monday night deadline to complete the budget in the 2011 legislative session, there appeared no way that can happen. Normally at this stage of a budget session, offers are being exchanged and some budget agreements are being made.

AES Conference Papers Forum
Is Sound Field Control Determined at All Frequencies? How Is It Related to Numerical Acoustics?
Long before audio technologists have been researching the acoustic reproduction of entire sound fields using loudspeaker arrays, numerical acousticians began to study the solution of boundary integral equations. This is particularly interesting because the fundamental question of uniqueness also appeared in numerical acoustics much earlier than it recently did in the theory of sound field synthesis, where it still appears to be pending. There were two main approaches that proved non-uniqueness at certain frequencies to be soluble by enforcing all the necessary mathematical constraints. Both are directly applicable to generally ensure uniqueness in the sound field synthesis theory based on free field monopole sources.

On the Peculiarities of General Dan Sickles: If there was ever an American Civil War General who led an extraordinary life not named Robert E. Lee or Ulysses S. Grant, it was Daniel E. Sickles. For starters, he lived to the age of 94, having been born in 1819 in New York City, and later dying there in 1914. Prior to the Civil War, Sickles worked as a lawyer and served as a legislator in the New York State Assembly. He married a woman who was half his age in the early 1850s, and by 1857, he was elected to serve in the U.S. Congress as a Representative from New York. While in Washington D.C., his young wife (who was only about 20 at the time) had taken up an affair with the local district attorney (who also happened to be Francis Scott Key's son). Upon learning of his wife's infidelity, Sickles proceeded to shoot and kill Philip Barton Key II. At the trial, Sickles pleaded "temporary insanity" and was actually acquitted of murder. His plea is often considered the first use of an "insanity" defense in the history of American jurisprudence. But aside from Sickles' legal issues, he is perhaps best known as the General who lost his leg during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. Although the cannonball that tore through his leg effectively ended his military career, Sickles was happy to donate both the cannonball and his amputated leg to the newly formed Army Medical Museum. And on every anniversary of the amputation, Sickles visited the display that contained his shattered leg.

On Buddy Cianci's Providence
On Buddy Cianci's Providence: As mayor of Providence for two (non-consecutive) decades, Vincent "Buddy" Cianci epitomized the city's "underworld" reputation. Ever since Providence's founding by Roger Williams in 1636, it has been known as a refuge for religious exiles, political prisoners, and career criminals. Situated under the arm of Massachusetts, it has been referred to as both "the sewer" and "the armpit" of New England. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Catholic immigrants, mainly from Ireland and Italy, converged upon the city to work in its burgeoning textile industry. It was under these circumstances that some of Cianci's ancestors emigrated from Italy to Rhode Island in the 1890s. By the early 1900s, Providence's various neighborhoods had become divided along ethnoracial lines. The Italians settled in Federal Hill, the Irish in Smith Hill, the "old-moneyed" WASPs in College Hill, and the African Americans in Wanskuck. Cianci himself actually grew up in Cranston, but he attended private school in the wealthy College Hill neighborhood (where Brown University is located). Yet as the city's youngest-elected and first-ever Italian mayor, Cianci sought to smooth over the city's ethnoracial divides (which had persisted throughout the decades). And although he survived two felony convictions, with the second one sending him to prison for five years, Cianci has become an icon in Providence. The city will never be the same without him.

On the Birth of American Judicial Review
On the Birth of American Judicial Review: This concept may seem somewhat rudimentary, but it's crucial to the founding of the United States federal government. In 1803, a major case involving the constitutionality of a federal law came before the Supreme Court, which did not have a permanent home in Washington D.C. till around 1810. Known as Marbury v. Madison, Chief Justice John Marshall, whose formal legal training was no longer than six weeks, held that part of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was "unconstitutional." In doing so, Marshall established the principle of "judicial review," which saw the Supreme Court curbing the power of Congress (and the Presidency). This principle essentially completed the trifecta of "checks and balances" that the Constitution's writers had originally envisioned (and borrowed from Montesquieu). Ultimately, it would be fifty-four years before the Supreme Court invalidated another federal law (see the 1857 Dred Scott decision). And although Alexander Hamilton had discussed "judicial review" in his Federalist No. 78 essay, the concept had never been put into practice. Thus, until Marshall rose to the occasion in the Marbury case, the Supreme Court (or Judicial Branch) was commonly viewed as the weakest (or least effective) branch of the federal government.

On the Golden Age of Caribbean Piracy
On the Golden Age of Caribbean Piracy: Pictured above is a version of the Jolly Roger (flag) flown by pirates (mostly English privateers) during the early eighteenth century. A more traditional Jolly Roger would contain crossbones instead of crossed swords. This specific version was actually invented by Calico Jack, who was perhaps the most notorious pirate to operate from New Providence Island in the Bahamas during the early 1700s. What made Calico Jack particularly intriguing was the fact that he allowed two female pirates in his crew, Mary Read and Anne Bonny. For the most part, the presence of female pirates on ships was extremely rare throughout the Caribbean, as eighteenth-century seafaring occupations were almost entirely male-dominated. In fact, Read often had to dress like a man in order to be taken seriously as a privateer. Although Read was born in England and Bonny in Ireland, they both ended up in the Bahamas by the late 1710s. Read was originally part of the British military (dressed as a man), but left after realizing that her prospects for promotion were severely limited in peacetime. Bonny, on the other hand, had married a small-time pirate named James Bonny, who eventually became an informant for the Bahamian Governor (Woodes Rogers). Yet Anne decided to join forces with Calico Jack, becoming his mistress and "baby mama" in 1720.

Why American Public Schools Have Struggled
Why American Public Schools Have Struggled: American public schools today seem concerned about almost everything except education itself. From Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to 504 plans to English-language learners (ELLs), how are teachers expected to educate "all" children to high standards? And how did it get to be this way? To answer this question, one ought to examine the emergence of Progressive education in the early 1900s, when the very definition of "school" was entirely up-for-grabs. According to education historian Diane Ravitch, when the American high school curriculum started to become standardized in the 1890s (in preparation for college admissions), it opened the door for a series of "experts" to assess how knowledge transferred from teacher to student. These "experts" largely possessed backgrounds in child psychology, and included people like G. Stanley Hall, Henry Goddard, and Edward Thorndike. For Ravitch, these "experts" represented a kind of "anti-intellectualism," which diverted attention away from the process of teaching a traditional curriculum and toward the process of satisfying student needs. Unfortunately, American educators simply forgot how to say "no," as every conceivable student need started to seep into the once revered curriculum.

Mom's Quick Thinking Helps Bust Suspected Sexual Predator In North Highlands
NORTH HIGHLANDS (CBS13) — A quick-thinking mom helped Sacramento County Sheriff's deputies put a suspected sexual predator behind bars.
Deputies say Curtis Marcellino, 50, met a 15-year-old girl online and lured her to his home.
Many people on the block where he lives didn't have kind words for Marcellino.
"I hope he gets what he deserves," said neighbor Rebecca Torres.
Police say he's behind bars because of a quick-thinking mom who checked her daughter's computer on Wednesday night after she left the house.
"The mother had determined that her daughter had met this person online," said Sgt. Lisa Bowman.
Their online conversation brought the mom to a fast-food restaurant where she found her daughter in the suspect's car.
Since the mom didn't know who he was or what he was capable of, she took out her smartphone, got a picture of the license plate and contacted police.
Officers were able to track down Marcellino at his home where deputies found the teenager.
Marcellino is being charged with lewd acts with a child. He will face a judge on Friday. He's being held on $1 million bail.

Thanks to Jonathan for the following.
BET has announced that its top-rated comedy "The Game", which made its debut on the network last January to stellar ratings, will return for its 22-episode fifth season with a one-hour telecast on Tuesday, January 10th at 10/9c.
Starring Tia Mowry Hardict, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Pooch Hall, Coby Bell and Hosea Chanchez, "The Game" is produced by CBS Television Studios. It premiered in October 2006 on The CW, where it ran for three season and then got canceled, only to get picked up by BET just short of a year later.
Last season, airing Tuesdays at 10:00 PM as well, "The Game" kicked off to an astounding 7.7 million viewers (making it the #1 ad-supported sitcom telecast in television cable history ever) and averaged 4.2 million viewers season-long.
It'll be interesting to see how many eyeballs the sitcom will attract when it comes back after a nine-month hiatus.
