Anyone heard of it? It's an open world RPG by Capcom. I read about it in Gameinformer and now I am interested. Has anyone played the demo yet? What were your impressions? What did you dislike about it?

Dragon's Dogma
05-15-2012 #27
Seems your quite late to the flow of Dragon's Dogma BlackWolf, however I think your thread could have been merged with the 'DD Demo Impresssion' thread rather than this one.
I quite thoroughly enjoyed the demo, apart from the length of it being quite short. Would have wished for a larger variety of content. Also the AI seemed quite chaotic in the closed in environments, however reading further reviews of the demo, a few people suggested to run with only 1 pawn and not get the other 2 from the rift stone, and this allowed me to actually see what I was doing in terms of damage. Also there is a lot of clutter around the screen as well, such as pawn text and hints and health bars> Again going to the options menu allowed me to change this, however would have liked to have a constant health bar for just me and not everyone.
As for mechanics, I found the grab option to be quite over powered, as with the chimera I could just grab on and slash away at it while the other pawn took most of the brunt of the attacks. Resulting in a quick and easy defeat.
Having played through the Griffin quest a few times, I felt the first time to be quite easy, but a few more playthroughs and each outcome was different.
The first time I played I had defeated the Griffin before night fell, but the 2nd time it took me a long time and a lot of healing. So the AI seems to have changed slightly, either that I had a bad run.
But no thoroughly enjoyed it and the Pawn system is intriguing, I like it.
Wish I had seen more world content.
Extremely disappointed with Capcon's decision to still use disc based DLC on this game due to it having the lame excuse of 'planned early in development'.
However still keeping my pre-order, can't wait till Monday I think it is?
Prolly gonna run Mage, as with any game. (However in DA2 this felt abit odd due to the massive ammount of Templers seeming to ignore an apostate)
EDIT: I'm liking the sound of the Ur-Dragon, however knowing my luck, I'll probably be like 5dmg away from killing it when someone else gets the kill :/

Hm. I'll try the demo out tomorrow then.

Like, Ghost-Rhayne, I will wait until it's cheaper. The whole Medieval setting is saturated so my interest has faded.

I played it last night and it's not bad. Is it a must play? No, but the demo was slightly above average. However, I will probably wait to the price drops like the members above me. I just don't see myself spending a full $60 on this one.
05-17-2012 #32
after i did my 2nd go with the demo which was slightly more enjoyable it still didnt draw me in, although the challenge and boss fight was more fun with only 1 ally/pawn in the chimera level. It really looks like a game that needs a sequel or something to really mature tbh. I might pick it up at some point, but not before it hits the bargain bin along with Asuras Wrath or something.
05-17-2012 #33
anyways controls was a bit messy for me and took me a good min to get full handle of the game. graphics arent bad at all. Ai isnt great but isnt bad maybe it'll show more use later on. overall ill get the game like when its 30 bucks.

Awesome, awesome game. Put in 8 hours on the first day alone, time flew by.
Only two downfalls I see: Floral Delivery got cancelled when I went to teh capital, and it took far too long for my Strider to learn to dodge.
Contemplating making me a Magick Archer. Main pawn is a mage with a mostly thunder and fire spells. I wish I knew if I made my pawn well, not even sure if anyone is hiring the poor bastard.

Metareview: Dragon's Dogma (60-85/100)
We had some issues with Dragon's Dogma. Ok, we had more than a few issues, calling it "50 or so hours of mundane drudgery" in our review. That doesn't mean our opinion is the only one that matters. There's a whole internet out there with glowing reviews. Maybe not "glowing," but certainly more accepting.
- Game Informer (85/100): "Combat feels like a necessary part of the game's design, rather than something that was begrudgingly added to provide interaction between cutscenes. I left the game feeling that I made my mark on Gransys the way I chose to, instead of being escorted from plot point to plot point. When you're talking about an open-world game, I can't think of higher praise."
- Destructoid (75/100): "Should you play Dragon's Dogma? Yes. The high points are so very worth getting to, and while the main game will be cleared in a number of hours, there are lots of monsters to battle and a dose of end-game content to clear, providing more than enough to rival the Skyrims and Diablos of the world."
- Eurogamer (70/100): "Expectedly, coming as it does from an action game developer, its jewels are to be found in the dynamic combat, stat-tweaking party-building and defining boss battles. In this way, the game echoes the adventurous, dragon-hunting spirit of its (second- and third-hand) literary influences: that sense of unpredictable peril that could be lurking in every cave and thicket. "
Thanks to Kwes for the signature!
- OXM (60/100): "Dragon's Dogma has its merits, but for every great idea there's a design fumble that just leaves you scratching your head. Though it's technically sound, the game lacks the spark to elevate it beyond a "sometimes fun, mostly mediocre" experience. Much like the main character's chest cavity, this RPG ultimately feels hollow, with no real heart."

Joystiq was especially hard on the game. It's a love or hate kind of thing with this one.

Dont get the reviews that complain about the controls,I think this game - a minimum - deserves at 8. I'm pretty much addicted to it, I put it in nearly 9 hours on the first day without even realizing it lol

I ended up canceling it though, because I already have enough to play atm... and I'm also trying to save some money. So once I get through the games I've bought recently, Dragon's Dogma is my next purchase I'm fairly confident I'll enjoy it because I'm hearing good things (aware of all the bugs) from people who I trust

Beautiful location at a great price!Reviewed on 7/14/2015 Katelyn K
The Preston Community Center is beautiful! The surrounding trees and stonework of the building made for amazing pictures! The only cons to the venue are that it is near a fairly busy street so there is a little noise from that during the ceremony, and that there is no air... Read More conditioning. We got married at the end of June and it was about 94° that day so it was nice and hot inside! They do have a couple of fans that helped a lot but I'd recommend bringing a few more if you have them. We had both the ceremony and reception there at for the price you really can't beat it!
Preston Community Center is greatReviewed on 11/13/2012 Jory C
I loved the Preston Community Center when I first saw it. It has a great cottage-like feel to it, all the tables and chairs are included in the rental. There is a warming kitchen and a great bridal room. There are lots of great places to take pictures around and there ample... Read More parking (though the overflow lot is across the street and the road is a little busy). The other thing is the building is pretty small, so it is best for smaller parties (I had between 60-70 guests and it was perfect.)
Quiet and Comfortable garden weddingReviewed on 7/18/2012 heather D
This was a great value for the money. In Washington, having tends and an indoor backup cant be beat! The staff was very nice, and the extra flowers on site really added to the space.
Great Character!Reviewed on 6/26/2012 Keely S
My husband and I both fell in love with Preston and the price when we were shopping for our wedding venue. Preston is a small, restored vintage building perfect for a small sized wedding. When talking to workers they say that it can fit up to 125 people, but I am not sure... Read More exactly how. We had closer to 75 people actually attend our wedding, and to hold everyone inside we could seat everyone for dinner, and then we had to remove tables to make room for the dance floor. People did end up moving outside to talk but it was a hassle to get everyone situated with the new layout. I loved it though!
Wonderful Summer WeddingReviewed on 4/10/2011 ashley a
Our friends got married there on a very HOT August day in 2010. We loved the venue but don't know how it would have been if the weather was rainy. Loved the setting for outdoor wedding. Not good for large weddings. Really great party under the stars!

This review is from: 3M PF15.4W Widescreen Notebook Privacy Computer Filter
Pros: will fit perfectly on a 15.4 widescreen. there are two sides one for matte and one for glossy so you can temporarily make your screen one or the other. filter will make your screen much darker even with the brightness all the way up.
Cons: adhesive may eventually not stick. there are no additional adhesive so one may enventually have to purchase it as an accessory or a whole new filter again.
Other Thoughts: worth every penny. bought one for use on the airplane.

The Sponsor Effect: Breaking through the Last Glass Ceiling (pdf) Women aren't making it to the top. Despite gains in middle and senior management, they hold just 3 percent of Fortune 500 CEO positions. In the C-suite, they're outnumbered four to one. What's keeping women under the glass ceiling? High-performing women simply don't have the sponsorship they need to reach the top. The study found that women underestimate the role sponsorship plays in their advancement. And those who do grasp its importance fail to cultivate it. It's also a classic catch-22: a woman's personal choices, whatever they may be, brand her as not quite leadership material.

Citation Ganor Y, Bomsel M. HIV-1 transmission in the male genital tract. Am J Reprod Immunol 2011; 65: 284–291
HIV-1 is mainly a sexually transmitted infection, and epithelial surfaces covering genital mucosa are the primary site of HIV-1 transmission. Although male circumcision was reported to reduce male acquisition of HIV-1 by 60%, the initial mechanisms of HIV-1 transmission in the male genitals remain elusive. We established two novel models of the adult human foreskin epithelium that allowed for polarized infection via the mucosal pole with either HIV-1-infected cells that are present in all secretions vectorizing HIV-1 or cell-free HIV-1. Efficient HIV-1 transmission occurs following 1 hr of polarized exposure of the inner, but not outer, foreskin to mononuclear cells highly infected with HIV-1, but not to cell-free virus. HIV-1-infected cells form viral synapses with apical foreskin keratinocytes, leading to polarized budding of HIV-1, which is rapidly internalized by Langerhans cells (LCs) in the inner foreskin. In turn, LCs form conjugates with T-cells, thereby transferring HIV-1. Seminal plasma from HIV-negative men mixed with cervico-vaginal secretions from HIV-positive women, which mimics the in-vivo mixture of these genital fluids during woman-to-man HIV-1 sexual transmission, decreases HIV-1 infection at the foreskin.

When you buy a house or rent an apartment, you shouldn't have to worry about whether it was used as a meth lab or that there was a meth lab next door. Now the state is offering some online peace of mind.
A new Indiana State Police database gives Hoosiers information about where clandestine meth labs have been found around the state, including those discovered in Johnson County.
A total of 85 local locations dating back to 2007 are listed on the website, far fewer than most other counties.
The website (meth.in.gov) offers important information to potential homebuyers, homeowners, property investors or renters who might not know that the dangerous chemicals once were found on the property in question, ISP Meth Suppression Commander Sgt. Niki Crawford said. It also might apply to those considering buying a used vehicle, as some meth labs have been found in cars.
Long-term exposure to chemicals used in making methamphetamine can lead to cancer, organ damage and numerous other health problems, particularly to children, according to the National Board of Realtors website.
If the chemicals aren't properly removed by a hazardous materials team, they can permeate nearly every surface of a home or other property, such as a vehicle, and remain long after the meth lab is gone, the board stated.
The link lists properties that previously were identified by law enforcement as the location of a clandestine meth lab.
Users can find the date of seizure, county, street address, type of lab and location of the lab on individual listings. In addition, labs seized in vehicles will have the vehicle identification number listed if the lab was seized after 2012.
The state police decided to make the database public because state police officers have been collecting the data for years for internal purposes and had it readily available, Crawford said.
Former meth lab sites where the property owners have shown proof the house or apartment has been properly decontaminated are not on the online list. Current listings can be removed after the state police receives a Certificate of Illegal Drug Lab Cleanup from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
The listings include only seized meth labs that appear on state police criminal incident reports or reports sent to them by another law enforcement agency, Crawford said.
Specific timelines and listing removal requirements are in House Bill 1141, which was signed into law last month by Gov. Mike Pence.
The law and the database are a good protection for Hoosiers. The information will allow homebuyers and renters to make better decisions about where to relocate to and will give existing residents greater peace of mind.

The region of Androy in southern Madagascar is a semi-arid zone, about 150km north-south by 200km east-west, of grassy plains and spiny forests, watered by unpredictable rains from December to March and baked in the heat of the long dry season, when the rivers and lakes dry up as the land becomes scorched. Androy, literally the land of thorns', can be divided into four regions. The south coast is a broad strip of sand dunes, both active and ancient. North of this are the largely deforested sandy plains which are the ancestral lands of many of the older clans among the Tandroy people. Further north, these flat plains are still covered by extensive forest and brush. The most northerly zone is a large stony plateau of hills and plains covered by a mosaic of forests, brush, open areas and bare rock; this region was not occupied by the Tandroy until the beginning of the nineteenth century. Tandroy daily life is hard, particularly towards the end of the dry season, and many have migrated northwards in recent years into the sparsely populated vast inland grasslands and to towns and plantations throughout Madagascar. Most Malagasy are rice cultivators, whereas the people of the dry south (the Tandroy and their neighbours the Mahafaly, the Karimbola and the Bara) are pastoralists. In contrast to the Bara who concentrate on raising cattle, Tandroy herds consist of fat-tailed sheep, goats and cattle. Subsistence crops of manioc, sweet potato, maize, ground nuts, beans, melons, onions, prickly pear and even tomatoes are grown in the cactus-edged fields that surround the dispersed villages throughout Androy.
Aspects of traditional life such as dress, domestic utensils and, in northern Androy, house-building styles have changed dramatically in the last twenty years. Yet the Tandroy way of life has been relatively unaffected, partly because of the region's isolation from the rest of Madagascar and partly because of a strong sense of identity. The south of Madagascar was the last region to be subdued by French troops in 1900. The French colonial authorities established a series of posts which have continued as markets and administrative centres since independence in 1960. However, their small populations are largely composed of outsiders from other parts of Madagascar, since most

Best Bets This Week in Live Music, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Edition
Before we get going here, a quick important public service announcement from the week that just was: J. Tillman, bandleader and singer for Father John Misty, might be the most fascinating onstage figure in music today. Anyone who saw the Fleet Foxes drummer at the Independent on Friday witnessed a man dripping with confidence and swagger, with sassy hips to match a biting wit. Just … here.
Five Best Concerts of the Week
We're still smiling stupidly from the weekend's Animal Collective and Wilco masterpiece concerts out in the East Bay. But no time to dwell on the immediate, wonderful past. The immediate future looks just as good. To wit:
The 5 Best Bay Area Shows to Catch This Week
Yes, San Francisco is a musical mecca. But there are also many weeks scanning the live music calendar when we ask ourselves, 'hold on, the East Bay is bringing in just as many — if not more — artistic juggernauts.' This is one of those weeks, when the Fox Theatre, Greek Theatre and co. put SF on notice.
How to Get Ready for This Week's Live Music Avalanche
It's another banner week for San Francisco music junkies. The list below only cracks the surface of what's to come. Other notable gigs include post-punk luminaries Swans (Regency Ballroom, Monday), Fiona Apple (The Warfield, Tuesday), Spencer Krug's side project Moonface (Independent, Wednesday) and legendary heartbreaker Bonnie Raitt (Greek Theatre, Friday). For my money though, these are the hottest tickets:
This Week in Music: When L.A. Gave San Francisco a Gift, Part 2
The wake of L.A.'s FYF indie music extrava-cluster, which delighted SoCal music snobs over the weekend, is still being felt in the Bay Area this week. These five shows are only the crème de la crème of what's coming through town:
FYF Fest Brings a Bundle of Buzzworthy Acts Through San Francisco This Week
This is one of those weeks when the Bay Area becomes the incidental benefactor of a nearby regional music festival. The FYF Fest is attracting some of the world's hottest young musical acts to the West Coast this Labor Day Weekend, down in Los Angeles. Before (and after) they play their SoCal gigs, they'll need a city and a crowd to stay sharp. That's where we come in.
Five Must-See Concerts in the Bay Area This Week
Understatement of the day: live music matters, as does the freedom of speech necessary for its survival. Here's a reminder why. Sermon over. Now get out there and fight the power, people.
Best Live Music Picks of the Week, Post-Outside Lands Edition
"Hair of the dog" applies to music addicts, not just your neighborhood lush. Best way to fight the Outside Lands 2012 hangover is getting right back on the live music horse. Here are four concerts that should do the trick:
Outside Lands Review, Day 3
We motion to make Outside Lands a quarterly affair.
Occasions that bring so many people together just don't happen often enough. Make it happen, o Gods of OutsideLandia. The 2012 installment of the festival was another extraordinary success, the latest local triumph of creativity and logistical savvy.
Day 3 was an appropriate exclamation point on the annual three-day gathering of all things cultural, with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Jack White, Skrillex, Regina Spektor, and Franz Ferdinand serenading San Francisco. Here's how it all went down:
Outside Lands Review, Day 2: Survival of the Hippest Edition
The second day of Outside Lands was another exercise in perseverance, made easier by a wonderfully eclectic slate of music from around the world. Metallica, Sigur Ros, Passion Pit, Big Boi, Alabama Shakes and more highlighted the Day 2 action, and there were plenty more who helped festivalgoers fight another day of wintry conditions at the Polo Fields of Golden Gate Park.
Tame Impala, 1:50, Lands End
Tame impala rewards the patient; psych-y, effect-packed jams start out slow and build in unexpected ways. The Beatles and Black Sabbath are the first comparisons that come to mind, but this Aussie outfit seems more out of time and place than a throwback to any specific era. In a word: groovy.

BioMimetic Therapeutics, Inc. develops and commercializes innovative products to help stimulate the body's natural tissue regenerative process. The company's protein therapeutic-device combination products have the potential to improve the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions affecting bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. Its platform regenerative technology, which incorporates a potent version of one of the body's natural key stimulators of tissue repair, might offer physicians advanced biological solutions to actively stimulate tissue healing and regeneration. This technology is safe and effective in stimulating bone and periodontal regeneration in the jaws with the U.S. and Canadian regulatory approvals of its first product, GEM 21S Growth-factor Enhanced Matrix. With the divestiture of GEM 21S in January 2008, the company is now focused on developing this technology to stimulate tissue healing in orthopedic applications such as distal radius, or wrist, fractures and fusions of the bones in the foot and ankle to eliminate chronic pain from trauma or arthritis, and potentially spine and sports injury applications. The company's current product candidates use the same key stimulator as GEM 21S, and are designed to target a range of clinical indications in bone, cartilage, ligament and tendon repair. The company currently has seven orthopedic clinical studies that are completed or are under way which seek to demonstrate the safety, clinical utility and/or efficacy of its product candidates in the pipeline, including its orthopedic product candidate Augment Bone Graft (Augment), formerly GEM OS1 bone graft, in treating bone defects and injuries. In addition, it has pre-clinical programs focused on the development of treatments for bone defects in the spine and various sports injury applications, including those requiring cartilage, ligament and tendon repair. Augment and OsteoMimetic are the company's trademarks. The company has developed a network of suppliers, manufacturers, and contract service providers to provide sufficient quantity of its product candidates through the development and clinical testing phases.

I'm looking for some enlightenment. I read the Aug. 9 Columbian story "Herrera Beutler hears concerns from local business owners: Frustrations include inability to find qualified workers, federal tax system," regarding Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, speaking with local business owners. I am somewhat amazed that these owners repeatedly stated, and believe, that they cannot find good workers, in part because they believe, according to the story, that "people would rather collect unemployment for two years than work during that time."
I am an unemployed computer, electronics and process engineer, with background in medical electronics. I have worked as a chef, sales representative and business owner, and am an Air Force veteran. I contact employers four to five days a week, and I'm unable to get an owner to hire me.
So, now for two years, I guess I'm one of those people these business owners are talking about. Get real. We're out here looking. I won't even mention age discrimination; 58 didn't use to be too old.

Gov. Mike Easley says he's told his staff to improve their cooperation with reporters.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that Easley mentioned the directive Wednesday in a meeting with the leaders of the North Carolina Press Association and three newspapers.
The governor and his administration were criticized after allegations surfaced that his press office instructed state workers to delete e-mails sent to and from the governor's office. In most cases, such e-mails are a public record that must be saved.
Easley said an internal investigation has turned up no systematic destruction of any messages, but he is concerned the controversy has overshadowed his efforts to fix the state's mental health system.

I had never killed anyone before.
The two men stepped out of their pickup truck after I stopped them for speeding. One reached inside his coat, pulled out a handgun and pointed it at me. I shot him a half dozen times from 10 feet away.
The other man was moving toward me, and I saw his hands jerk. I shot him too, pulling the trigger as fast as I could until my sidearm was empty. By the time the last few shots hit the man, he was already on the ground.

Hi Ladies:
Thanks again for all of the support. Michael's anterior fontanelle is now completely closed and the ridge down his forehead is very hard. Our ped suggested a x-ray, others a ct scan to confirm cranio. Does anyone know which would be better? I can get the x-ray much quicker than the ct here.

This review is from: Grace Wireless Internet Radio featuring Pandora GDI-IR2550P
Pros: Very Nice!! I'm listening to it now over my cable connection at my office. Throughout our retail store and the front offices we have Sirius playing but my office is toward the back and I couldn't hear them.....I have no windows so putting Sirius would require us putting another antenna outside and I did't really want to do that. Anyway saw this unit and thought I'd try it......glad I did. Setup is a breeze and when you setup your account on Grace.reciva.com your able to then put in your Pandora log in info and any other services you want to use. Has SiriusXM streaming and Rhapsody plus thousands and thousands of Internet Radio Stations
Cons: NONE
Other Thoughts: Nice Crisp sound from this single speaker - ported enclosure

5: Brian Fletcher 6'0 190lbs 1b/LF
Brian Fletcher is the son of former Major Leaguer Scott Fletcher. Brian relies on his bat solely to maintain prospect status. He is a well below average defender in the OF, and struggles at 1st defensively. At the plate he has a violent swing with good bat speed. Brian really enjoys swinging hard if he sees a pitch he likes he's going to hack, when he creates solid contact it allows him to tap into his power. He has above average Raw Power(55 on the 20-80 scale) He grades out as a future 40 hitter and runner. For me he's an organizational player who will play the game for awhile I don't believe he will ever make the show because of his lack of ability on defense and the fact that he won't hit for a great average.
4. Sugar Ray Marimon 6'1 168 lbs RHP
68.0 IP, 2.12 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 60k/18bb, 5HR Allowed, .206 BAA
Sugar Ray not only has one of the best names he was the best surprise for me this year in the Carolina League. A pretty much unheralded prospect coming into this season Marimon showed me a really good arm with a FB 88-92, sweeping curveball that is 74-77, and change up 79-81. The secondary offerings flashed the ability to be solid average pitches. The fastball has sink and arm side run. For me Marimon is a pitcher who would be most effective out of the bullpen. I think if you put him in the pen for short stints he's 91-95 FB, and his secondary offerings could be sharper. I like him he's a positive guy to have in the organization he'll be a big leaguer at some point.
3. Cheslor Cuthbert 6'1 190 lbs, 3B
.223/.300/.315 4 HR 28 RBI, 10 2B, 40k/28bb.
Oh Cheslor….. Cheslor got a ton of prospect love coming into the 2012 season. It was well deserved he flashed fantastic ability in 2011, and came in 2012 in great shape. At the plate his approach is advanced for a 19 year old. Cheslor gets out on his front foot at times with his swing, and the power will come. However, for me I don't know how much power will come though. When I look at his swing and swing path it's more like 12-18 HRs a year. On defense Cheslor flashes his good hands and a plus arm. He's not quick 40 runner, and the ball seems to get on him quickly at 3rd the reactions are below average. His makeup has been questioned his hustle, attitude, and effort all questioned it has improved now let's see if it sticks.  In a future article I have an idea for Cuthbert's future. He'll be a big leaguer that's what I know.
2. Jason Adam 6'4 220 lbs. RHP
80 IP, 3.71 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 64 k/18bb , 10 HR allowed, .272 BAA
Jason Adam has everything you would look for in a pitcher. He has a great body for pitching, long arms, athletic, and able to repeat his delivery. He features FB 90-93, CB 72-75, and CH 82-84. The fastball is an average offering not going to create a ton of misses, but he is able to command the pitch to both sides of the plate. The CB is a slow one with a big break. He flashes the ability to snap it off enough to make it an average offering, but sometimes it spins more than it breaks. I believe it's a future average offering again, but it could play down depending on the tightness of the break. The last pitch is Adam's best offering his change is 82-84 with good arm speed, fade, and sink. The change misses bats he commands the pitch well. For me Adam profiles as a backend starter which is still a very valuable prospect.
1. Yordano Ventura 5'11 150 lbs. RHP
68 IP, 3.04 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 85k/26bb, 7 HR allowed, .220 BAA
Yordano Ventura is a freak. I've said it in previous articles the kid is a flat out freak. Small body that can produce a fastball up to 100mph. While I've only ever seen him 97-99 he knows he has enough in his arm to reach back and put it past the best hitters when he wants. His fastball is an 80 grade pitch. Ventura's next offering is a true Power Curveball 79-82. The pitch has violent downward action and misses a ton of bats. I've said before it flashes plus plus(70), but I believe it will settle in as a future 65 offering. The changeup for Ventura needs a ton of work, he throws it to hard and seems to roll it over and it has cutting action instead of fading action. As I've said before he will eventually scrap the pitch, and he will be the closer for the Royals one day. They will call him from the pen and everyone should be ready to watch him grip it and rip and people should enjoy the show.

when looking at outside, it looks small because top is rounded. I am able to fit my octo and some extras all in the bag with a little room left. Some people in earlier reviews, stated that the Velcro straps were nice but I dont see any way they could be used with my equipment. I really like the bag and it is made well with plenty of padding in my opinion.

NEWARK, N.J. - The Philadelphia Flyers were the last team into the Stanley Cup playoffs but are the first to reach the second round.
Given a second chance to knock out the New Jersey Devils 10 years after squandering their first opportunity, Flyers goalie Brian Boucher was brilliant Thursday night as Philadelphia won 3-0 in Game 5 to finish off the series Thursday night.
NHL Roundup
Claude Giroux scored twice in the second period after Danny Briere had given the Flyers a 1-0 lead in the first. Boucher made the offense stand up as Philadelphia beat New Jersey for the ninth time in 11 games this season.
Boucher finished with 27 saves for his second career NHL playoff shutout.
Blackhawks 3, Predators 0: At Nashville, Tenn., Patrick Sharp scored his first two goals of the postseason, and the Chicago Blackhawks finally found their offensive form in beating the Nashville Predators to tie their opening series at 2-2.
Jonathan Toews also scored his first playoff goal and had an assist. Marian Hossa had an assist, just his second in the series, and rookie Antti Niemi stopped 33 shots for his second shutout.
The Blackhawks made a couple lineup changes, including playing defenseman Brian Campbell for the first time since he broke his collarbone and a rib March 14.

The term "Pop" in Pop Music is actually an abbreviation of the word "popular", and this is a genre that has been vastly influenced by rock, hip-hop, urban, dance and country music. The genre is extremely diverse, and it reflects varying impacts during different periods and it can include any style.
The basic elements of Pop music include short-to-medium length songs, mostly written in the plain verse format, with melodious tunes and appealing catch phrases, sung in chorus form and accompanied by electric guitars, bass guitars and drums. The soul aim of pop music is to bring momentary pleasure in the listener rather than achieving great artistic heights.
Indian pop music or Indipop has made its way all around the world and what makes it stand out from the other genres is the unique amalgamation of Indian classical and folk music with modern beats and tunes that make it an immensely popular style. Indian pop music has been enriched by some of the legendary artists like Usha Uthup, Asha Bhosle, Sharon Prabhakar, Peenaz Masani along with Remo Fernandes, Baba Sehgal, Alisha Chinai, Shaan, Palash Sen, KK and many other famous artists.

Aid slips down priority list for cash-strapped traditional donor countries, but emerging powers say they can afford to help
Turkey and South Korea, nations that have watched their own fortunes surge in a generation, are ramping up aid programmes for poor nations at a time when such spending in Europe is under threat, a EurActiv analysis of aid statistics shows.
EU candidate Turkey and South Korea are among a handful of nations that are giving more to help poor countries at a time when the traditional heavy-hitters - the EU, Japan and the US - are struggling with domestic budgetary problems and are scaling back their overseas commitments.
EU leaders meeting in Brussels this week are to consider austerity measures that could reduce the EU's foreign aid spending by 11% in the 2014-2020 budget, while several EU nations are likely to miss their aid commitments to disadvantaged nations.[view whole blog post ]

While we'd never stoop to such journalistic depths as to describe the acting in "Team America: World Police" as wooden, the marionette stars of the new Trey Parker/ Matt Stone satire do force us to contemplate their hand-manipulated forebears. While the Academy continues to display a contemptuous prejudice against those great thespians who just happen to be constructed out of plastic, wood, latex, felt and Styrofoam, relegating them to "special effects," we here at Rewind have decided to pay tribute to some of the more memorable puppet performances in cinema and television.
Most Heroic Puppet With Actual Human Hands: Captain Scarlet
Forget about those goody-goody Thunderbirds with their "International Rescue" and their Andy Rooney-like eyebrows and their airline hostess uniforms — the coolest Supermarionation hero is Captain Scarlet. World Army Colonel Paul Metcalfe was killed by the invisible alien Mysterons and then regenerated to serve their evil bidding. Metcalfe broke free of their control and now works for Spectrum as Agent Number One, Captain Scarlet! Not only is he indestructible, flies a swanky jet and sounds just like Cary Grant, he's very popular with the ladies, most of all Destiny Angel, a puppet who was designed to look like Ursula Andress. No doubt the puppeteers on this classic '60s British TV show fought over who got to manipulate that particular character.
Puppet Most In Need of Remaining In A Locked Steamer Trunk: Fats, the dummy from 'Magic'
OK, we'll just admit up front that we've never even seen this 1978 entry in the "ventriloquist dummy assumes control of its owner" genre. So how can we speculate that Anthony Hopkins' turn as Corky, the mediocre magician who attains success when he acquires Fats the dummy, is as terrifying as his Hannibal Lecter? Because we remember being scared to the point of pants-peeing by the trailer for this movie, which featured a close-up of the wide-eyed puppet reciting, "Abracadabra, I sit on his knee. Presto, change-o, and now he is me! Hocus pocus, we take her to bed. Magic is fun …when you're dead!" in its screechy dummy voice. Brrr! Sorry, Chucky, you're soft and cuddly in comparison to Fats.
Puppet Who Reminds Us Most of Our Uncle Ernie: Ernie from 'Sesame Street'
We've got a whole neighborhood in New York that's half populated with puppets of diverse sizes, shapes and colors, and we love 'em all (except that annoying Elmo). But the one who most seems like he has a life outside of teaching kids the alphabet is Ernie (sorry, Bert). Simple, goofy Ernie with his rubber ducky and his love of the bath probably has some great dirt on the other Muppets. Like whether Big Bird is really that naive, and exactly what bug's up Oscar's butt. He probably also can tell how much resentment there is on Sesame Street toward Kermit, the only Muppet to break out of the 'hood and make it in the movies (damn frog). But mostly, Ernie is, to use current campaign vernacular, the puppet you'd most like to drink a beer with. Even if the beer would just kinda spill out the sides of Ernie's mouth.
Puppet Most Likely to Steal Your Lunch Money: Randy from 'Pee-Wee's Playhouse'
Pee-Wee Herman's playhouse was fully stocked with wacky humans and nonhumans, including the most bad-ass marionette of them all. Randy was like Howdy Doody's wrong-side-of-the-tracks cousin, a tough-talkin' punk in jeans and a white T-shirt with red hair and freckles (or were they pimples?). While Randy always pretended to heed Pee-Wee's many "lessons," he actually seemed more likely to try to frighten Pterri or look up Miss Yvonne's skirt than espouse the value of sharing. In fact, we'd wager that Randy was probably the one who ratted out Pee-Wee in that Sarasota, Florida, theater back in '91. Punk.
Puppet That First Made Us Aware Of Mind-Altering Substances: Freddy the flute from 'H.R. Pufnstuf'
From the golden age of Saturday-morning kidvid, Sid and Marty Krofft's "H.R. Pufnstuf" told the tale of young Jimmy, who was lured to Living Island by the evil Witchiepoo, who coveted Jimmy's magical talking flute, Freddy. Jimmy befriends H.R. Pufnstuf, a big dragon with a Southern accent who governed the land where everything from the plants to the dinnerware was alive. No, really, man! As brilliantly satirized in the "Mr. Show" skit "The Altered States of Druggachussetts," "H.R. Pufnstuf" (the title that launched a hundred head shops) caused many small children in the early 1970s to stare in bewilderment at the surrealism onscreen while their older brothers and sisters thought that perhaps they were still feeling the effects of their activities from the previous night's party.
Puppets We'd Like To See Battle To The Death: Miss Piggy and ALF
Sorry, it's true. They're both nothing but annoying. Let's move on.
Puppet We'd Least Like To Put Our Hand In: Talking typewriter/ cockroach from 'Naked Lunch'
David Cronenberg's loose interpretation of William S. Burroughs' classic semi-autobiography, "Naked Lunch" (1991), featured some puppets Geppetto probably never thought of carving. As exterminator/ writer Bill Lee (Peter Weller) falls under the hallucinogenic spell of his own pesticide, his typewriter morphs into a cockroachlike being whose wings spread to reveal a posterior opening through which the creature speaks his desires for lotions and narcotics. Isn't it about time McFarlane Toys put out a line of action figures from this cut-and-paste madness? C'mon!
Puppet We'd Most Like To Go To The Movies With: Crow from 'Mystery Science Theater 3000'
No offense to Tom Servo or Gypsy, but Crow T. Robot not only had the best quips on the late, lamented B-Movie mockfest, but his basket head was the most capable of holding snacks.
Most Popular Puppet Put Out Of Work By Technology: Yoda from 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi'
Imagine you're the most powerful Jedi knight in the universe. The future of the rebellion rests on how successfully you train the new hope. And you do a darn good job at it. The empire is defeated and how do you get rewarded? They throw a stupid party in the woods with some teddy bears and then you get replaced by a cartoon. When George Lucas and his pixel-happy crew at Industrial Light & Magic decided to make Yoda a CGI creation in the "Star Wars" prequels, Frank Oz's puppet Yoda got tossed on the Lucasfilm scrap heap along with Mark Hamill's acting career and Lucas' heart. While the quasi-Muppet Yoda of "Empire" and "Jedi" was at times as obviously fake as some of the Beanie Babies in the "Star Wars" cantina scene, it still felt more real than the sterile video game leaping around onscreen in "Attack of the Clones."
Like cartoonists, jazz musicians and calligraphers, puppeteers are constantly trying to prove that their art form is still valid and thriving in a world that's ever more at odds with its "old fashioned" tools and aesthetic. With "Avenue Q" winning the Tony for Best Musical, "Being John Malkovich" proving that puppetry can be beautiful and involving, and "Crank Yankers" being, well, full of dirty jokes, maybe Frank Oz can dig that old latex Yoda out of the closet and convince Darth Lucas that sometimes too much technology is a bad thing. "Team America" may have bigger concerns (like, duh, saving humanity), but perhaps they can also convince the world to let those strings show!

More De'Anthony Thomas at receiver better for him and Ducks
DAT: I don't regret my 40 point comment
EUGENE – Oregon running back De'Anthony Thomas spent more time at his more natural position against Stanford and we could see more of him at wide receiver the rest of the year.
Yes, wide receiver is the natural position for this 5-foot-9, 170-pound man and it's one he embraces playing.
Thomas said this week that he enjoys playing receiver and hopes to get more time there as season continues.
"I love running routes, I love catching the ball and I love making people miss in space," he said.
It's also the position that will provide an opportunity for him to earn a lot of money in the NFL.
Thomas said he sees wide receiver as his chance for success in the NFL. And he's right.
Thomas would not be an impact running back in a pro-style system. It's why USC recruited him out of Los Angeles as a five-star defensive back.
In Oregon's spread, zone-read system, Thomas' speed makes him a great weapon from anywhere because the offense is about getting fast players into space. Between the tackles, however, he's not nearly as potent.
More and more NFL teams are employing spread systems each season. But rest assured that none of them are looking for 170-pound running backs to give the ball to on a regular basis. In fact, there has never been an impact running back at that size in the modern history of the NFL.
Thomas was perfect as a backup running back at Oregon playing behind LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner.
The Ducks used Thomas in spots, game planning when to unleash his electric open-field abilities.
But a featured back must also do the dirty work. Run inside. Block. In that regard, Thomas is not on the level of James or Barner, both of whom are being used sparingly in the NFL at about 195 pounds each.
Thomas runs with heart and toughness and has the cutting ability to get yards but simply lacks the bulk to back it up in the trenches.
That 20 pounds matters far too much to expect Thomas to have a major impact during an entire season at 15 to 20 carries per game.
But as a wide receiver or slot that also receives carries here and there, Thomas is one of the most dangerous weapons in college football.
As a freshman, Thomas led the team in receiving yards (605) and finished second in receptions (46) and receiving touchdowns (nine). That year he also rushed for 608 yards and seven touchdowns on 55 carries at 10.8 yards per carry.
Granted, some of Thomas' receiving production came from out of the backfield but Thomas often lined up at wide receiver or in a slot position.
Last year Thomas led the team in receptions (45) and finished second in receiving yards (445). His five receiving touchdowns ranked third. Thomas also rushed for 705 yards and 11 touchdowns on 92 carries at 7.6 yards per carry.
This season, while essentially missing 4 ½ games with an ankle injury, Thomas has rushed fro 399 yards on 58 carries (6.9 per carry). Against the two toughest defenses Oregon has faced (UCLA and Stanford), Thomas averaged 3.8 yards per carry (16 carries for 31 yards). He has just 10 receptions for 120 yards and no touchdowns as a receiver.
Helfrich said the development of sophomore running back Byron Marshall (925 yards, 12 touchdowns) and freshman running back Thomas Tyner (439, eight) while Thomas' ankle healed, has given the Ducks more flexibility in the backfield.
Helfrich said that how the team uses Thomas the rest of the year would be determined by matchups and the defensive schemes of opposing defenses. Using Thomas out wide with Josh Huff, Bralon Addison and Keanon Lowe gives the Ducks the fastest group of receivers it has ever had on the field at one time.
Thomas, who could make himself eligible for next April's NFL Draft, said he would do whatever is asked of him and is all about having fun.
But playing wide receiver is something he enjoys doing and believes is his future.
"That's all the game of football is about, having fun and making plays and contribute to the team you play for," he said.
