College Hockey:A much-needed homecoming awaits for slumping Union
Friday's game against Cornell marks the first home game in 47 days for Union.
Messa Rink has probably never been a more welcome sight for the Dutchmen, who have won two of their last eight games, all on the road.
Still, coach Rick Bennett is optimistic the long stretch away from Schenectady will help prepare Union for the end of the season.
"We've been through some tough environments," Bennett said. "Being on the road is how you are going to get better. If your longest road trip is three hours, I don't think that prepares your players for the battle at the end of the year."
While Bennett is hopeful the time away was beneficial, the Dutchmen didn't have much of a choice.
"One thing you learn pretty quick being on the job is that to get teams back to your building, you have to go to theirs first," Bennett said. "We're not BC or Michigan. We usually have to go to the other places first."
While Union faced a lengthy travel schedule and a smattering of injuries, Bennett isn't looking for any sympathy.
"I can give you a lot of excuses and sound off about injuries," he said. "That's not our style. We never make excuses. We've been battling adversity just like everybody else. I haven't gotten any get-well cards from other coaches."
Senior Wayne Simpson became the ninth Union player in the Division I era to reach the 100-point mark last Saturday at Quinnipiac. Simpson has routinely been skating with Kyle Bodie and Daniel Ciampini, while the rest of the Dutchmen lineup has been frequently in a state of flux. Some of that is due to injuries and the absence of defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, who won a gold medal with Team USA at the World Junior Championship in Ufa, Russia.
"We're just trying to find the right mix," Bennett said. "We just feel that going into the second half of the season we need to find some parity through the lineup and not rely on certain lines to carry us the rest of the way."
Union entered this season looking to replace the production of top centers Jeremy Welsh and Kelly Zajac, who are playing professionally, giving other players a chance to step into a main role.
"There are very few times in your life when you are 'the guy,'" Bennett said. "It's good for people to take on that role."
Tigers in good position for stretch run
Princeton coach Bob Prier had to correct himself briefly when talking about the Tigers' 15-day exam break.
Originally, Prier termed the stretch a mental health break, but as anyone who has gone through exam week at college knows, the words mental break and exams are oxymorons, especially at an Ivy school.
"These kids hit the books like you wouldn't believe," Prier said.
Still, the break is welcome for the Tigers, despite that Princeton is 3-1 over the last two weekends and sitting in second place behind unbeaten Quinnipiac.
"We have a 28-man roster and you can dress 18 with three goalies [per game] and that's pretty much what we've had for the last four games," Prier said. "We should get some healthy competition with this little bit of a layover."
Forwards Tucker Brockett, Eric Carlson and Will Ford, and defenders Alec Rush and alternate captain Kevin Ross are just some of the players who have missed stretches of time.
Special teams have been a boost for the Tigers thus far. Princeton leads the nation in combined special teams percentage, ranking fifth in the power play and tied for 16th in penalty killing after ranking near the bottom half in both categories last season.
"We did change some things on the forecheck on the penalty kill, but at the end of the day, it's the clientele that's on them," Prier said. "Andrew Calof, Tyler Maugeri, Andrew Ammon and Michael Sdao have been doing it for a while on the power play."
Simple math dictates it's unlikely Princeton will be in sole possession of second place when the Tigers host non-conference opponent Sacred Heart on Jan. 27. The Tigers are tied with travel partner Quinnipiac for the most league games played so far with 12, and three teams sit two points behind Princeton.
Still, the Tigers are in a good spot for the stretch.
"I think any team wants to go into the second half being able to control their own destiny," Prier said. "We're not at a point where we have to look around and see who has to lose. We just have to worry about ourselves."
Around the league
Brown: The injuries keep piling up for the Bears. Mark Divver of The Providence Journal reports that defenseman Matt Wahl will be out two to three weeks with a shoulder injury. Wahl skates with Dennis Robertson on the top defensive pairing and sees time on both special teams units as well. Goalie Marco De Filippo will also be out this weekend with knee tendinitis.
Clarkson: Clarkson will go for its third straight win against St. Lawrence on Saturday. The Golden Knights will hold their alumni game at 10:45 a.m. prior to the matchup with the Saints.
Colgate: Former Raiders standout and last year's Hobey Baker Award finalist Austin Smith recently made the top 10 plays on ESPN's "SportsCenter" after scoring two goals for the Idaho Steelheads of the East Coast Hockey League. Click here to see the video.
Cornell: Junior Andy IIes is the only goalie in Division I this season who was used exclusively by his team last season. Iles has started 51 consecutive games in net for the Big Red.
Dartmouth: Both the men's and the women's teams took part in a sled hockey game for veterans Monday. Check out the event here.
Harvard: The Crimson are in the midst of nearly a month-long stretch away from the Bright Center. Harvard's last home game was Dec. 29 against Northeastern, and it doesn't return until Jan. 25 against Clarkson.
Quinnipiac: Quinnipiac's 16-game unbeaten streak has it tied with New Hampshire and Boston College for first in the the PairWise Rankings. The Bobcats' .804 winning perentage is tops in the country.
St. Lawrence: Longtime Saints sports information director Wally Johnson joined host Bernie Corbett on the league's radio program last week. It's worth a listen if you missed it.
Rensselaer: Engineers coach Seth Appert and Union's Bennett were on hand Monday at the Times Union Center in Albany to promote the inaugural Mayor's Cup game between the Dutchmen and Engineers Jan. 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Times Union Center. RPI is 7-2-2 all-time at the Times Union Center.
Yale: The Bulldogs posted a North Country sweep for the first time since the 2003-04 season. Senior Andrew Miller notched his 100th career assist at St. Lawrence Friday, becoming the second player in Yale history to reach that mark.
Weekly awards
As selected by the conference:
Player of the week — Kenny Agostino, Yale: Agostino had a goal and assist in both games last weekend. He scored the winner at Clarkson last Saturday by redirecting a teammate's shot out of the air and assisted on the winner the previous night against the Saints.
Rookie of the week — Stu Wilson, Yale: Wilson scored the tying goal late in the second period at St. Lawrence last Friday night and assisted on the goal that put the Bulldogs ahead for good. His four goals and two assists lead all Bulldogs rookies.
Goalie of the week — Jeff Malcolm, Yale: The Bulldogs senior stopped 68 of 72 shots last weekend. Malcolm has a 2.57 goals against average this season but has allowed five goals on three separate occasions, against Colorado College, Rensselaer and Holy Cross. Take away those outings, and his goals against average drops to 1.85.

Barclays' Hector Sants hire risky for both parties
Blooming Hec
The UK bank has appointed the ex-FSA chief executive to a key compliance role. If Barclays moves on from its Libor woes, Sants' image as a regulator who stood up to it before the scandal will be cemented. If it doesn't, the bank will look crafty and he will look a stooge.

There's a new book out written by a pair of clinical psychologists who met in grad school, fell in love studying sex and became certified sex therapists together. It's kind of romantic actually. The book is called "From the Living Room to the Bedroom" and it's all about creating sexual abundance, not by having sex like bunnies but by fostering a deeper emotional connection as the foundation for a truly healthy relationship and fulfilling sex life. It's basically a GPS guide for your relationships.
Why intimacy matters
"Intimacy is the heart and soul of any relationship," says Dr. Bill Bercaw, who co-authored the book with his wife Dr. Ginger Bercaw. "Because intimacy is essential for each partner's overall relationship satisfaction, we offer some easy-to-use connection tools in our book that takes as little as five minutes to do but still packs a big intimacy punch."
The book introduces a new treatment model, developed by the sex therapists, called CoupleFlow, which can best be described as the relational flow of energy between romantic partners who make a very intentional commitment to prioritize their relationship. The idea behind CoupleFlow is to bring together two essential ingredients of a relationship: emotional intimacy (represented by the living room) and sexual intimacy (represented by the bedroom) under the notion that couples need to have a deep emotional connection to feel good about their sex life.
"Everyone is interested in a better sex life, but we need to be careful not to compartmentalize the bedroom," say the sex therapists. "Turning up the temperature in the living room can clear a nice warm path to the bedroom, helping your sexual experiences feel even more connected, and keeping you coming back for more."
What prevents intimacy
Never has it been more challenging to be in a relationship than it is today, given the fast-paced culture that has infiltrated society. As professionals, people are constantly being asked to do more with less thereby making it difficult to manage life's daily challenges along with the challenges of being in a relationship.
"Everyone is spread so thin to begin with, and your relationship is typically the easiest place to cut corners," state Drs. Bill and Ginger. "That corner cutting eventually takes a toll, what we call CoupleDrift. The way out of CoupleDrift is paved with intentionality, reversing the trend of deprioritizing your relationship by putting it first in some specific and powerful ways."
While CoupleFlow promotes sexual abundance in a relationship by encouraging people to be more intentional in their relationships, CoupleDrift does the complete opposite inhibiting sexual abundance by putting a relationship on autopilot and going with the flow. But as Drs. Bill and Ginger state in their book, "If you just go with the flow, it will eventually lead you away from each other."
How to be intimate
Sexual abundance is all about intimacy, but people often times associate intimacy with sex. Does this mean people need to have sex in order to be intimate? Most definitely not. There are other ways to be intimate with people outside the bounds of sexual experiences that amplify sexual intimacy when layered on top of emotional and spiritual intimacy.
One way to be intimate is through an exercise referred to in the book as "Daily Shares" which involves spending at least five minutes a day sharing something about your day, expressing an affirmation or sharing a thought or opinion that's on your radar from something you heard or read about in the news. Drs. Bercaw advise making it a habit to communicate with your partner at least once a day. ""Even if it's brief, the daily communication keeps you in front of the person," says Dr. Bill.
Another way to be intimate is to have a fun plan in place. "Every couple needs a fun plan," says Dr. Ginger. "They need something to look forward together, whether it's a date night or a weekend trip." Having fun is a very important component to relationships. In fact, it's so important that it is a common underlying theme throughout the book. In other words, don't stop dating your partner just because you finally committed to each other. Spending quality time together doing something you both enjoy is an important aspect to building intimacy.
When it comes to better sex and more fulfilling sex, the formula for creating sexual abundance in your current or future relationships is combining erotic experiences with deep, emotional connections. It all starts in the living room. As Drs. Bercaw write in their book, "A warm connection in the Living Room makes for a very warm connection in the Bedroom (or whatever room you happen to enjoy your Bedroom activities!)."
Whether you've been together for 2 months, 2 years or 20 years, "From the Living Room to the Bedroom" is a must-read for couples at any stage in their relationship. To learn more about how intimacy in the living room can improve your love life in the bedroom, visit www.drsbercaw.com. Score a chance to win a copy of the book when you tweet @nikipayne by April 30th with the hashtag #FLRTB answering the question: What does intimacy mean to you?

No more chalk-talk, now it's Java tech-enabled boards instead
By Hinkmond-Oracle on Jan 14, 2008
The chalkboard in schools is obsolete--same goes for the whiteboard. Now there is the Java technology-enabled SMART board that lets teachers project interactive computer screens that are touch-sensitive so that students can learn on-the-fly with help from Java technology.
Java Jazzes Up the Classroom Chalkboard
Here's a quote:
Korte said the possibilities for instruction are endless. "In my mind, the boards let me turn the math classroom into a lab. I can introduce things like color, detailed diagrams, animated Java applets that change before the kids' eyes."Heck, if Mrs. Tattinger (my junior high math teacher) had one of these babies, I think honors trig would've been a lot more interesting... either that or having more cheerleaders in the class.

King Power Stadium (map it)
Filbert Way
Leicester, England LE2 7FL
United Kingdom
Year Opened: 2002
Capacity: 32,500
There are no tickets available at this time.
Official Review by Anluan Hennigan, Stadium Journey Regional Correspondent
Sat upon the fringes of Leicester's cosmopolitan thoroughfare, the King Power Stadium is home to Leicester City, residents of English football's second tier, the "Championship". After a period of studied success in the nineties, the club's fortunes have descended in recent times. "The Foxes" even spent one season in the third tier but they are now on the rise once more under the experienced head of manager Sven Goran-Eriksson.
For much of its existence, the East Midlands club played their football at Filbert Street. By the turn of the millennium, the old favourite was deemed an anachronism and work started on this new stadium - just 200 yards from the old site - which opened in 2002.
It was originally called the Walkers Bowl but this was met with derision by traditionalists, displeased by the name's American hue. Even with the change to a more sober moniker, it has often been referred to derogatorily as the "Crisp Bowl" - a reference to the sponsorship deal with a potato snack manufacturer that gives the stadium its name. In 2011, the stadium was renamed King Power Stadium after a new sponsorship agreement was reached.
Nevertheless, it cannot be disputed that Leicester now has a thoroughly modern football ground. The capacity can be extended to 55,000 and it has already hosted three international matches. Indisputably, it is a Premier League ground; it now just needs Premier League football.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
To adapt Henry Ford's famous phrase, you can have anything you want, as long as it's a pie. It is the staple of British football's diet so why not indulge. There are worse things on offer for �2.50. The normal array of burger vans sit outside the ground also.
The advantage of going to a Championship ground is that things will be a little cheaper and the quality shouldn't really suffer as a result. The queues seemed leisurely also, even as kick-off drew nearer. Where it is the same as Premier League grounds, is in the rule that you can't take alcohol into the arena.
A hallmark of new stadiums is that they generally offer good acoustics. King Power Stadium appears to be no different. As ever, it took no more than a few contentious refereeing decisions to send a shrill roar round the ground. Outside, PA systems blare out music and announcements, which seems to be unique to this ground. It certainly adds some colour to your journey into the ground.
Britain seems to be finally emerging from winter, and the fine day can only have helped as well. Raucousness gave way to frustration as on this day, Leicester headed to defeat. Where the atmosphere falls down a little is in how distant the away fans feel.
While Leicester has never been known as one of England's must visit places, the walk to the ground, under the gentle glare of spring sunshine, was Garden of Eden stuff in comparison to most grounds. You are taken along the river and through a charming park called Castle Gardens before joining the main roads again, finishing your journey by walking along the unforgettably named Raw Dykes Road.
The nearby city centre offers all the usual amenities you would expect without exactly being thrilling. The presence of live music gave things a bit of pep.
If you want to go outside of the city, the National Space Centre is certainly a standout attraction. It receives 250,000 visitors every year and offers various exhibitions on the history and evolution of space exploration, some of which are truly compelling.
It was a game to test the resolve of the 22,000 home fans, with Leicester slipping to a rare defeat. However, the eventfulness of the match meant that things were never dull.
A minute's silence in remembrance of the recent natural disaster in Japan was also observed in exemplary fashion.
As you would expect from any modern British city, the options available for you are consummate. If you are travelling from overseas, the ground is 35 minutes drive from East Midlands Airport and 45 minutes from Birmingham International Airport. Otherwise, the train station is just a 20 minute walk from the ground.
As for buses, the 36, 52 and 53 services are the ones to look for.
Parking is not available at the ground but the nearby Saffron Lane Sports Centre opens its spaces from midday. You can park there for a reasonable �3.50. Otherwise, there should be plenty of opportunities for on-street parking.
Once at the ground, you really feel the difference of attending a modern ground. Access points are numerous and you can move in and out of the stadium without any bother. While moving around some stadiums feel like a chore, at King Power Stadium you can do so in a leisurely fashion.
Provided that you shop astutely, there is good value to be found. Ticket prices are split into Gold and Platinum - Platinum prices attached to the most important matches. For Gold, prices range from �3-�33. For Platinum, it's �6-�37. Under 8s can enter for free at all matches if they sit in the family stand.
For an adult, a decent seat for any match shouldn't come to more than �20. The delight of this ground is that you don't experience an obstructed view from any seat, so you shouldn't feel an onus to buy the more expensive seats. If you want to experience a fair standard of football in an organised and - by British standards - futuristic stadium, King Power Stadium is as good a bet as any in the Championship.
There is nothing especially unique to write home about in this department. The general disadvantage of modern stadia is that they are rather characterless. It can feel like they have been delivered in an IKEA flat-pack. Rudimentary LCD displays give you the score and came time at both ends of the ground. Stadium tours are offered at various times throughout the year. Check the club's website for specific information.
prices / parking
With Leicester City being my home town team I tend to watch them two or three times a season. You stated that for an adult a ticket for a decent seat should not come to more than £20 but the cheapest ticket for a full paying adult is £21 (Gold) and the dearest is like you stated £37 (Platinum).
With regards to parking the nearest car park is on the site of their old Filbert Street ground which costs £10 but you can park on the nearby Electricity Sports & Social Club ground for around £4 or £5.

"Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" debuts in September and it looks like their star, Ray J, settled his court case just in time. Ray J originally was charged with sexual battery, vandalism, battery on a police office and resisting arrest. According to the Los Angeles Times on Thursday, Ray J was able to plea out of everything but a trespassing charge.
Ray J's legal drama all stems from a May 30 incident at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel bar. According to reports, a woman at the bar claims that Ray J groped her. When he was asked to leave the bar, he refused. Ray J then made his way to the valet area and is said to have become belligerent with the valets. After his arrest, Ray J even kicked out one of the windows on the police with his feet. The police report says that he spat at one of the officers.
Ray J contends that he kicked out the window because he was feeling claustrophobic. As far as the other charges, Ray J's attorney is some kind of miracle worker because everything got dropped except for a trespassing charge due to his refusal to leave the premises after being asked.
Ray J's very minimal punishment has been reported as three years probation and 50 hours of community service. He plead no contest to the trespassing charge and all others were dropped. In addition, he has been ordered to receive alcohol treatment and anger management help. Ray J also isn't allowed in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel anymore and he has to pay for replacement of the police car window that he kicked out.
If Ray J's behavior is any indication of what's in store for the very first season of VH1's "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood," fans of the show are in for quite a ride. The premiere season begins on Monday, September 18 at 8 p.m. EST.

WBGO Celebrates Valentine's Day
February 12, 2016. Posted by Nicole Sweeney.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
We asked our announcers to dig into their romantic memories and give us songs that remind them of love.
Mid-Day Jazz Host Rhonda Hamilton:
"A Time For Love": Many artists have recorded this Johnny Mandel composition. Shirley Horn's version on her CD with strings, "Here's To Life", produced and arranged by Mandel is especially lush and romantic. The entire album provides a perfect soundtrack for a lovely, loving evening.
"The Island": Any song that conjures up images of a tropical island puts me in a romantic mood. When Sarah Vaughan sings it on her album, "Crazy & Mixed Up" she transports you to a place so warm and sensual, you never want to leave.
"Like A Lover": I was actually on the island of Anguilla with my husband when I first heard Carla Cook perform her gently swinging arrangement of this song. It was a clear night with a warm tropical breeze, the stars were shining and we were just steps away from the sea. Whenever I want to revisit that romantic setting, I close my eyes and listen to Carla sing "Like a Lover."
Afternoon Jazz /Singers Unlimited Host Michael Bourne
"I'll Remember April" by Andy Bey, Tuesday In Chinatown. Michele returned to my life in April, and whenever I play this song on the show I remember.
"Speak Low" Tony Bennett, Astoria, one of the greatest lyrics about love and life. "Time is so old and Love so brief. Love is gold and Time a thief!" It's also the only song I've ever requested Tony to sing, and he did!
"Devil May Care" Bob Dorough - The only love song I can (more or less) sing and it's about the connection to a loved one, so deep, almost magical and yet truly real.
Jazz After Hours Host Brian Delp
"Broadway Romance" Dave Brubeck-The first time I heard this many years ago on the Great Plains, it evoked everything I imagined a New York romance to be; years later, I was proven right....
"Autumn In New York" Charlie Parker with Strings-My wife and I danced to this at our Novermber wedding while our guest pelted us with fake autumn leaves - much easier to clean up than rice!
"The Quintessence" Quincy Jones-Phil Woods alto saxophone just drips sensuality and oozes gold.
On Air Announcer Rich Keith
When I started in radio back in the 70s, I fell in love with Ray Charles' version of Johnny Mercer and Harold Arlen's "Come Rain or Come Shine". I got engaged to my wife in 1980 and one of the things we had to think about for the wedding in 1981 was our first song. I suggested this song. Luck intervened when Streisand (my wife is a huge fan) decided to sing the song on one of her albums released around that time...so I was in. The problem we ran into was that few of the wedding bands that we interviewed knew the song (as it was written in 1946)...and the ones who did sounded like they were playing "The Hokey Pokey". I got a copy of the Ray Charles version (my favorite) and the Streisand version (my wife's favorite) on a cassette and gave it to the band we ended up with, asking them to come up with something in between. It must have worked out OK because were still married 35 years later.

The ELEW Trio With Veal And Tain
February 11, 2016Add new comment | Filed under: A Blog Supreme, Jazz Night In America, Jazz Night In America: The Radio Program
Eric Lewis' career has circulated both in and out of what he calls "the jazz republic." Performing under his given name in the 1990s, Lewis was a powerful up-and-coming pianist who toured in the bands of Wynton Marsalis and Elvin Jones. As his career progressed — or failed to, from a business perspective — he found that a lot of contemporary rock music also spoke to him deeply. So, performing under the name ELEW, he devised a new theatrical, high-energy method of solo piano he called rockjazz, and his cover songs took him to TED Conferences, national tours, America's Got Talent, celebrity gatherings and the White House. But he never left the late-night straight-ahead jam sessions: In fact, he's just recorded And To The Republic, a return to the jazz trio format featuring some major players.
Jazz Night In America follows ELEW to the studio, and to Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola within Jazz at Lincoln Center, where his burning band includes Reginald Veal on bass and Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums.Copyright 2016 WBGO and Jazz At Lincoln Center. To see more, visit WBGO and Jazz At Lincoln Center.

If your children are looking for something a little different to do during their upcoming school vacation, how about going with them to the 5th annual Providence Children's Film Festival? Or sending them to Zoo Camp in Springfield, Massachusetts? Or taking part in Sleigh Ride Week in Woodstock, Vermont?
There's much more to the Providence Children's Film Festival than sitting and watching movies, although with 40 short films and 17 features from around the globe, they could take up plenty of hours during that week. The highest quality independent films for ages 3 to 18 brings a wide range of storytelling and experiences from Japan, France, the Netherlands and Uruguay, among other countries. The program includes classic cinema, live action, animation and documentary, paired with an expanded offering of Film Talks, post-screening discussions that aim to deepen understanding of subject matter and foster critical watching skills.
Over the weekend of February 8 and 9, the festival offers hands-on filmmaking workshops for ages 6 to 14. Then, on February 13, from 6 to 9 p.m., the opening night reception will offer a party with food and drink and a 7 p.m. film screening of The Zig Zag Kid for ages 10 and up. Festival winners will be announced at the awards party on Saturday, February 22, with a 3:30 p.m. screening of Once in a Lullaby for ages 8 and up.
New this year, the Youth Filmmaker Show will include shorts created by children who participated in the filmmaking workshops at the festival along with youth filmmakers juried in from around the world, followed by a Q&A with local youth filmmakers.
A local filmmaker and parent, Mitty Griffis Mirrer, whose movie Gold Star Children will be shown at the festival, will talk about her own experience as a Gold Star child, someone who lost a parent and fallen soldier to war, after the movie is shown.
Tickets for the films are $6 for children and $8 for adults. To order tickets online, go to pcffri.org. The PCFF has become one of the top five multi-day film festivals in the country, now rivaling children's film festivals in New York, Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles. Films screen at three venues located within walking distance of one another: Metcalf Auditorium in the Rhode Island School of Design Museum Chace Center; Cable Car Cinema; and the RISD Auditorium.
To see the trailer for The Zig Zag Kid, go to https://vimeocom/39578585.
Or, send the kids to Springfield, Massachusetts, where the Zoo in Forest Park may be closed for the winter, but zoo camp is open. Whether it's a one-day or weeklong commitment, kids can enjoy a variety of activities including touching and holding the animals every day, leaning about animal diets in the animal care kitchen, getting to know the zoo occupants and more. Children are divided into three categories: 6 to 7, 8 to 10 and 11 to 13. The oldest group will be involved in Animal Care and be the new Junior Zookeepers. Rates are $220 for the week or $55 per day. Pre-enrollment is required, at www.forestparkzoo.org/programs/zoo-camp/
If you would rather head north from Boston, Billings Farm, in Woodstock, Vermont, hosts Sleigh Ride Week during school vacation time, and on Saturday, February 15, the farm offers horse -drawn sleigh rides, sledding with jack jumpers, Dairy farm and farmhouse programs and hands-on activities. Sample Presidential cookie favorites and spiced cider from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Go to www.billingsfarm.org.

This is Moors murderer Ian Brady after he was seen in public today for the first time in decades.
A court artist drew the serial killer listening intently and taking notes as he launched a 'right to die' legal bid.
Cutting a different figure from his infamous police mugshot, Brady, 75, was seen via a TV link to the tribunal.
With wavy greying hair, he wore a pair of dark spectacles and a dark jacket at a mental health tribunal.
The killer sat between two female members of his legal team, hunched over, elbows leaning on the desk in front of him in the tribunal room at the maximum security Ashworth Hospital.
Brady spoke briefly, in a gravelly, pronounced Scottish accent, at the start of proceedings to ask about the procedure of the tribunal, but his words were mostly inaudible.
The hearing was held in a room inside Ashworth but relayed by video to Manchester Civil Justice Centre, where around 40 journalists watched TV screens.
He was seen briefly on screen as the camera panned around the room, introducing the parties at the start of the tribunal.
The tribunal has been brought by the infamous child killer, who wants to get out of Ashworth, on Merseyside.
He has been on hunger strike for more than a decade and is force-fed through a tube in his nose.
Brady believes if he is allowed to go to a prison he will be able to die behind bars.
The tribunal, scheduled to last around a week, was postponed last June when Brady fell ill after suffering a seizure.
Brady and his partner Myra Hindley were responsible for the murders of five youngsters in the 1960s.
They lured children and teenagers to their deaths, with victims sexually tortured before being buried on Saddleworth Moor above Manchester.
The pair were jailed in 1966 and Hindley died behind bars in November 2002, aged 60.

Fearing & White, though sounding like a major intersection somewhere in a Metropolis' forbidding core, is actually an intersection of a different kind. The combined ironies of it's mashup are too lengthy to describe here: suffice to say that two guys from opposite sides of the Atlantic spent large portions of their youth less than 100 miles apart in Ireland, and are now writing music together from their homes in, you guessed it, Australia and Canada.
You were going to say that, right?
"I'm the White of Fearing & White, and I play bass, 12 string and acoustic guitars.. . . . Lyrically, I think (Stephen Fearing & I) stretch each other in very interesting ways. If you're a singer/songwriter, you're instinctively confessional, in a way. When you have to share your experiences, and make the meaning of the song real to someone else, and not be talking about specifically your own experiences all of the time, you've got to find common ground between you.
"I started off (musically) when there was an acoustic revival, when The Pogues started (in the 70's-80's), . . . when you could play folk instruments with the attitude of punk musicians. (As kids,) Stephen was in Dublin and I was in Belfast growing up at exactly the same time, and listening to the same music. So, I think I bring a European British-pop thing to what we do, and I've always loved roots music." Which is Stephen's territory.
I interrogate the interesting fact that this is an album of two adult males singing harmony about relationships, which is fairly unusual in present music circles. Oh, sure, there a few minor players in the past, like the Beatles and the Everly Brothers (!), but currently, nobody's really doing music this way. And both of the performers' personal lives have undergone major upheavals since their previous album together, so they're now experiencing life from the other side of significant personal changes. Reflecting on this, one could say it's an album for adults.
"Pop music," Andy (White) says, "is about teenagers falling in love, but when your whole life changes, and you're actually living the life you were singing about when you were teenagers, (you end up with a) celebratory melancholy."
Stephen weighs in on the subject:
"I think the idea that melancholy is often associated with loss is (too) bad. If you break it down to simple components, it's a downer. I remember people talking about Leonard Cohen's music, and saying 'it's music to slit your writs by.' People don't talk about him that way anymore. I think that, as the listeners have become more sophisticated (and caught up with the depth of his writing), people have realized that there's many shades: it's not just happy = pop = fast drum beats; that you can have a sad song that's actually kind of happy.
"The bittersweet part is a vein that I think we really go after. And (Cohen) manages to talk about a relationship with somebody that he may have felt wasn't necessarily good for him, but he's able to celebrate the person he's singing about; their follies, their blindspots (and his own), and wrap it all up. Those songs are beautiful. They're sad but they're not."
Ah, these guys must be musicians! 'They're sad but they're not'? Who else could say that with a straight face. Given that I'm speaking to them via speakerphone in their van, as they sit next to a coffeeshop on Glenmore Trail (following a dog's breakfast of the obstacles that befall a travelling musician in the 21st century), I have no way of knowing the state of his face. But it sounds friendly.
We wander through a conversation about God and spirituality, and its changing roles in our lives and our music, and while both Andy and Stephen have opinions regarding these changing roles, we move onto the more pragmatic issues of collaborative music composition.
"We didn't show up," Stephen says, "with an agenda of 'I've got an idea for a song: it's about this, and these are the elements I want to be in it.' Often they start with a guitar part.. . . . and (when you write 7 songs in 4 days), there's a point where are your ideas are used up, intellectually, and you're going straight on sounds and gut. And the sounds of words, consonants, vowel sounds. You're trying to find a song in those sounds. And that's when the subconscious really comes to the fore, and starts throwing things out, and you really have to get out of the way. It's hard for 2 people to get out of the way at the same time. That's when all these years of songwriting together really came to bear."
Which ends up producing something like "Eighth Wonder Of The World", which they both admit means more as a document of experiences had, than of meanings explained. Hear them try to explain it at Fish Creek Concerts, 10690 Elbow Dr., SW, April 4th. Call 403-668-4145 for details.

Edward Bernays, born in Vienna in 1891 and famously the nephew of Sigmund Freud, was perhaps the pioneer in the field of Public Relations, and highly influential in providing the framework for modern advertising. His work aimed to convince people to want things that they didn't need, and in the process, link their unconscious desires to the consumption of mass produced goods. This in turn, it was theorized, could be used to control the masses, as by keeping them distracted on frivolous happenings and relatively unimportant wants, they wouldn't interfere with the activities of what he called 'the important few'.
All the while, he was remarkably candid about his intent. In one of his first books, 'Propaganda' (1928), he coined the term 'engineering of consent' to describe his technique for controlling the masses. In this podcast series, Guy Evans examines just how influential these ideas were, and details the resulting impact in relation to public relations, advertising, celebrity culture, and democracy itself.

Leaked: Dell Lightning with Windows Phone 7; LTE version planned for 2011
Although it announced only one smartphone until now (the Dell Aero / mini 3i), Dell has big plans when it comes to its mobile business.
No less than four new Dell smartphones are currently in the making, and they're all at least interesting.
Appeared over at Engadget, the smartphones are: Dell Lightning, Dell Thunder, Dell Flash and Dell Smoke.
The Dell Lightning runs Windows Phone 7 and it has a portrait sliding QWERTY keyboard. The handset's quite thin and features a 4.1 inches WVGA OLED touchscreen display, 3G (for both AT&T and T-Mobile), Wi-Fi, GPS, compass, accelerometer, 1GB of ROM, 512MB of RAM, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and a 5MP autofocus camera.
The Dell Lightning should be out in the fourth quarter of 2010, coming with full Flash support – weird, since we've heard that Windows Phone 7 won't support Flash at launch.
An LTE version of the Lightning should be launched in the fourth quarter of 2011 – possibly for Verizon.

Breast Lift Scottsdale
It's common for women who consult with Dr. Flint about breast surgery to be uncertain about whether a breast augmentation, a breast lift, or a combination is the best surgical option. In fact, women can't know which procedure will give them what they want until they have a consultation.
Once Dr. Flint hears your goals and examines your breasts, she can provide an opinion. A good rule of thumb is that if your nipple complex is below the fold underneath your breast, a breast augmentation alone will not provide adequate shape correction, so you will benefit from a lift. If you want to add size as well, Dr. Flint can place breast implants at the time of your lift. If you have fuller breasts that droop but don't want implants, a breast lift alone may give you the results you want. Dr. Flint occasionally uses implants at the time of a lift to preserve the upper shape of your breasts over a longer period of time.
Breast Lift at a Glance
The purpose of a breast lift is to improve the shape of your breasts and downsize your nipple complex while moving it higher on your breast and chest wall.
- View Scottsdale breast lift before and after photos.
- See Scottsdale breast enhancement (augmentation with lift) before and after photos.
What to Expect
A breast lift can be done with or without changing the size of your breasts. If you desire more volume, Dr. Flint will recommend adding breast implants. If your breasts are very heavy and pendulous, Dr. Flint can downsize your breast during the surgery as well. It all depends on your goals.
- Note: This procedure should be performed only after childbearing to avoid stretching your breast skin following the procedure.
There are different types of breast lifts. Most patients prefer to have a procedure that produces the shortest scar, but unfortunately, that's not always possible. When short-scar lifts are applied to breasts that need to be significantly lifted, unappealing shape trade-offs can occur.
For instance, many patients request a "donut lift," which refers to a procedure in which the scar is limited to the circumference of your areola. This lift works well in women who have small breasts and minimal droop. In larger or droopier breasts, this technique can result in a flatter breast profile. It also puts a great deal of tension on your areolae, which can stretch over time to an undesirable size. Not ideal.
"Lollipop" lifts produce a scar along the circumference of your areola and vertically between your areola and the crease underneath your breast. Dr. Flint believes this lift produces more bottoming-out than others. In bottoming-out, your implant or breast tissue stretches the lower half of your breast so that even though your nipple stays up above the fold, the glandular tissue hangs below the fold beneath your breast. Also not ideal.
Dr. Flint therefore prefers a breast lift that leaves an anchor-shaped scar. This scar resembles the lollipop scar, but adds a scar from side to side in the crease of your breast. While this scar is longer, this lift produces a better breast shape and maintains its result longer than the other types of lifts in most patients. The scars generally heal well and fade nicely in time.
Preparing for a Breast Lift
Dr. Flint meets with you to discuss your goals regarding your breast surgery. Afterward, she examines you, discusses your options, and makes her recommendations. She answers all of your questions at this time. Then you are given information regarding the fees and an opportunity to select a date for your surgery, if you so desire.
Breast Lift Recovery
The procedure lasts approximately two hours, and you will be able to go home about two hours after your surgery. You are required to wear a surgical wrap for one or two days. Dr. Flint will see you in the office in one to two days and place you in a sports bra at that time. Discomfort is mild and should resolve within seven to ten days. Most women can drive in three to five days, at which point they no longer require pain tablets. Most women take one to two weeks off of work. You are not allowed to do any lifting or exercise for the first three weeks. Then Dr. Flint will re-examine you and allow you to return to full activities.
You will notice improvement to your breast shape immediately after surgery, but it will continue to improve over the first three post-operative months. With proper care, your scars will fade nicely over 12 months.

Smith manipulated music, text, and visual images to make the opera accessible for the audience in accordance with compositional and institutional practices in American opera of the 1930s. Transparent musical themes and common Native Americans stereotypes are used to define characters. Folk music is presented as diegetic, creating a sense of authenticity that places the audience into the opera's Western setting. The opera is codified for the audience using popular idioms, resulting in initial but not lasting success.

Asserting Identity in Wagner's Shadow: The Case of Engelbert Humperdinck's Königskinder (1897)
Date: August 2004
Creator: Kinnett, Forest Randolph
Description: Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921), who was considered a Wagnerian due to to his past work in Bayreuth and the Wagnerian traits of his Hänsel und Gretel, seems to have believed that to define himself as a composer, he had to engage somehow with that designation, whether through orthodox Wagner imitation or an assertion of his independence from Wagner's musical legacy. The latter kind of engagement can be seen in Humperdinck's Königskinder (1897), in which he developed a new kind of declamatory notation within the context of melodrama, thus fulfilling Wagnerian ideals as well as progressing beyond them. The effectiveness of Humperdinck's effort is seen in the ensuing critical reception, in which the realities of being heard as a Wagnerian composer are clarified.

"Being" a Stickist: A Phenomenological Consideration of "Dwelling" in a Virtual Music Scene
Date: May 2010
Creator: Hodges, Jeff
Description: Musical instruments are not static, unchanging objects. They are, instead, things that materially evolve in symmetry with human practices. Alterations to an instrument's design often attend to its ergonomic or expressive capacity, but sometimes an innovator causes an entirely new instrument to arise. One such instrument is the Chapman Stick. This instrument's history is closely intertwined with global currents that have evolved into virtual, online scenes. Virtuality obfuscates embodiment, but the Stick's world, like any instrument's, is optimally related in intercorporeal exchanges. Stickists circumvent real and virtual obstacles to engage the Stick world. Using an organology informed by the work of Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, this study examines how the Chapman Stick, as a material "thing," speaks in and through a virtual, representational environment.

Belle Musique and Fin' Amour: Thibaut de Champagne, Gace Brulé, and an Aristocratic Trouvére Tradition
Date: December 2008
Creator: Bly, Emily
Description: Many consider Gace Brulé (c1160-c1213) and Thibaut IV, Count of Champagne, (1201-1253) to have been the greatest trouvères. Writers on this subject have not adequately examined this assumption, having focused their energies on such issues as tracking melodic variants of individual works as preserved in different song-books (or chansonniers), the interpretation of rhythm in performance, and creation of modern editions of these songs. This thesis examines the esteem enjoyed by Gace and Thibaut in both medieval and modern times which derives from their exemplarity of, rather than difference from their noble contemporaries.

Beyond the Human Voice: Francis Poulenc's Psychological Drama La Voix humaine (1958)
Date: May 2000
Creator: Beard, Cynthia C.
Description: Francis Poulenc's one-character opera La Voix humaine (1958), a setting of the homonymous play by Jean Cocteau, explores the psychological complexities of an unnamed woman as she experiences the end of a romantic relationship. During the forty-minute work, she sings in a declamatory manner into a telephone, which serves as a sign of the unrevealed man at the other end. Poulenc uses musical motives to underscore the woman's changing emotional states as she recalls her past relationship. The musical dramaturgy in this work resignifies Debussy's impressionist symbolism by collapsing devices used in Pelléas et Mélisande in a language that shifts between octatonicism, chromaticism, harmonic and melodic whole tone passages, and diatonicism. This late work recontextualizes elements in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites (1953-56), and the end of the opera provides a theme for his Sonate pour Clarinet et Piano(1962), as Poulenc reflects on his youthful encounters with Cocteau, Erik Satie, and Les Six.

Carlo Milanuzzi's Quarto Scherzo and the Climate of Venetian Popular Music in the 1620s
Date: August 2001
Creator: Gavito, Cory Michael
Description: Although music publishing in Italy was on the decline around the turn of the seventeenth century, Venice emerged as one of the most prolific publishing centers of secular song in Italy throughout the first three decades of the 1600s. Many Venetian song collections were printed with alfabeto, a chordal tablature designed to facilitate even the most untrained of musicians with the necessary tools for accompanying singers on the fashionable five-course Spanish guitar. Carlo Milanuzzi's Quarto Scherzo (1624) stands out among its contemporary Venetian song collections with alfabeto as an anthology of Venetian secular songs, including compositions by Miniscalchi, Berti, and Claudio and Francesco Monteverdi. Issues surrounding its publication, instrumentation, and musical and poetic style not only contribute to the understanding of Venetian Baroque monody, but also help to construe a repertory of vocal music with defining characteristics usually associated with popular music of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.

Criticism of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony in London and Boston, 1819-1874: A Forum for Public Discussion of Musical Topics
Date: December 2011
Creator: Cooper, Amy Nicole
Description: Critics who discuss Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony often write about aspects that run counter to their conception of what a symphony should be, such as this symphony's static nature and its programmatic elements. In nineteenth-century Boston and London, criticism of the Pastoral Symphony reflects the opinions of a wide range of listeners, as critics variably adopted the views of the intellectual elite and general audience members. As a group, these critics acted as intermediaries between various realms of opinion regarding this piece. Their writing serves as a lens through which we can observe audiences' acceptance of ideas common in contemporaneous musical thought, including the integrity of the artwork, the glorification of genius, and ideas about meaning in music.

Don Gillis's Symphony No 5½: Music for the People
Date: May 2013
Creator: Morrison, Sean
Description: Don Gillis wrote Symphony No. 5½ (1947) in order to reconcile the American public with modern art music. By synthesizing jazz (as well as other American folk idioms), singable melodies, and humor, and then couching them into symphonic language, Gillis produced a work that lay listeners could process and enjoy. The piece was an immediate success and was played by orchestras across the globe, but it did not retain this popularity and it eventually faded from relevancy. This study focuses on elements that contributed to the initial efficacy and ultimate decline of the work. Due to its pervasive popular influences, Symphony No. 5½ is a crystallized representation of time in which it was written, and it soon became dated. Don Gillis did not harbor the idea that Symphony No. 5½ would grant him great wealth or musical immortality; he had a more pragmatic goal in mind. He used every musical element at his disposal to write a symphonic work that would communicate directly with the American people via a musical language they would understand. He was successful in this regard, but the dialogue ended soon after mid-century.

Educating American Audiences: Claire Reis and the Development of Modern Music Institutions, 1912-1930
Date: August 2013
Creator: Freeman, Cole
Description: The creation of institutions devoted to promoting and supporting modern music in the United States during the 1920s made it possible for American composers to develop an identity distinct from that of European modernists. These institutions were thus a critical part of the process of modernization that began in the United States during the early decades of the twentieth century. There is substantial scholarship on these musical institutions of modern music, such as the International Composers' Guild and the League of Composers; but little to no work has been done on the progressive musical institutions of the 1910s, such as the Music League of the People's Music Institute of New York, which was founded by Claire Reis. This thesis addresses the questions of how and why American musical modernism came to be as it was in the 1920s through an examination of the various stages of Reis's career. The first chapter is an extensive study of primary source material gathered from the League of Composers/ISCM Records collection at the New York Public Library, which relates to Reis's work with the PML in the 1910s. The second chapter uses the conclusions of the first chapter to shine new light on an ...

Tuscaloosa men accused of robbing downtown Demopolis bank arrested
Published: Thursday, May 1, 2014 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 1, 2014 at 11:09 a.m.
Two Tuscaloosa men are accused of robbing a bank in downtown Demopolis last week.
A man wearing dark clothing and a white cap hopped the counter at the main branch of Robertson Banking Company on April 22. The man stole an undisclosed amount of money before running from the business. He never showed a gun, but knocked an employee to the ground during the robbery, Demopolis Police Chief Tommie Reese said.
Demopolis Police investigators developed Tommie Lee Williams, 48, and Roderick Moore, 49, as suspects. They arrested both in Tuscaloosa Wednesday afternoon, with assistance from the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office and Tuscaloosa Police Department.
Williams and Moore were transported to the Marengo County Detention Center, where they remained Thursday morning awaiting a bond hearing.

Rowing is an exercise that uses every part of the body. From back, arms, abdomen, to the most important legs, it's said to be a full body workout.
One area that tends to be forgotten is the legs, but not in the way one would think. The forgotten calves are the area which do hold importance. The hamstrings and quad muscles are worked, but do not forget to work the calves.
Whether you are a rowing looking to add the calves to your workout, a person interested in rowing exercises, or someone working out, then this exercise is for you. The beauty of the routine is that it takes no weight, no cost, and helps with more than rowing. In fact this is ah exercise to strengthen the calves for jumping to increase vertical, yet this is how the muscles grow.
One requirement, you must stand on the edge of a platform on the heel. Now you don't need to do this and you shouldn't perform this on a too high of a platform. The bottom step works perfectly or find your own 6 inch high platform, I repeat not too high!!!
To work the calves all you must do is stand on the ball of your feet, on the edge, then using your muscles begin to bounce up and down on the front of your foot. Continue this until it absolutely burns, we will not count to a number, just go until your muscles ache. After doing the first set, you go only on one foot, then when the muscle burns switch foot. To start with, only do two set for either foot and both feet together. Once the burn takes longer to happen, add another set.
Happy walking!

At The Pink Hammer Blog, Kelly shared a terrific idea for organizing jewelry. During a recent move, she was dismayed to discover how tangled her jewelry had become. When she found an old cheese grater that someone else was ready to throw out, inspiration struck.
Kelly re-imagined that cheese grater as a way to get her jewelry untangled. This project was as simple as using a can of spray paint to give the old grater a shot of color and cover up the rusty spots. The holes in the grater make the perfect spots to hang or attach earrings and other jewelry. What a fun idea!

The V.C. Andrews fans coined because of the nickname of "Dresden Dolls" for the Dollanganger children (first featured in Flowers In The Attic) in their family saga, Cathy referring to Chris as Christopher Doll and the overall atmosphere of porcelain dolls and how they, like the V.C. Andrews novels, are eerie and innocent, sweet and fragile and somewhat downright creepy.
Dolls usually don't like the ghostwriter but read the newer books anyways, just because it's under the name of V.C. Andrews.

Transitioning from the easiness of your summer wardrobe to fall layers can be difficult. I personally am a huge fan of throwing on a maxi dress on a hot day with a few accessories and having an instant outfit. Summer flies by every year and it's just too hard to pack away my summer staples at the beginning of fall. But, you don't have to! Here are a few ways to wear some of your favorite summer pieces into cooler, fall weather:
1. White Jeans: The old myth of packing your white pants away after Labor Day is out the window. Pair your white jeans with a cozy sweater and riding boots or booties and you have a chic look through the fall AND winter.
2. Maxi Dresses and Skirts – One of the easiest ways to continue wearing your maxi dresses and skirts through the fall and winter is to throw a blazer or bomber jacket on top, and pair it with a scarf and booties. You can also put a sweater over your maxi or belted with a skirt.
3. The Little White Dress – The flirty sister of the classic Little Black Dress is the Little White Dress, and is a go-to outfit for all occasions throughout the warm months. But you don't have to hide the LWD in the back of your closet once the weather turns chilly. Pair your LWD with tall boots, a blazer or bomber jacket and tights (if it's cold enough) and you can wear it year-round!
Remember, dressing for fall is all about layering, so layer up and you can transition just about any piece from season to season!

On Lawyers and Clients and Sex, Deep in the Heart of Texas
Most states have adopted an ethics rule that prohibits a lawyer from engaging in a sexual relationship with a client.
Texas doesn't have that rule. But whether it should is currently dividing the Longhorn State's bar. Click here for the story, from the Dallas Morning-News.
According to the story, for seven years, lawyers working on behalf of the Texas Supreme Court have been drafting new rules of conduct for the state's lawyers. The biggest sticking point throughout that time has, according to the story, been the so-called "sex with clients" rule.
A draft of the rule has been put on the table. Now, however, many lawyers are arguing against it, saying it could lead to frivolous malpractice charges.
Those who support it, however, say it protects vulnerable clients from being arm-twisted into unwanted sexual relationships.
As written, the rule states that lawyers (a) won't condition representation on having a client engage in sexual relations, (b) won't solicit sex as payment of fees and (c) won't have sex with someone the lawyer is personally representing unless the sexual relationship is consensual and began before the attorney-client relationship began. It also excepts spouses.
Some lawyers, like Ginny Agnew, a practitioner in Austin, are troubled by a loophole in the rule that she says would permit an attorney to begin and continue a sexual relationship with a client so long as the client is transferred to another attorney in the same law firm. That provides no protection at all to vulnerable clients, she said.
"When you have a situation where lawyers are the ones who hold the keys to the courthouse for many people … that is a potential situation of abuse," Agnew said.
At the same time, Rich Robins, a Houston attorney, said the the new rule would lead to a slew of lawsuits from unhappy clients.
"How can a lawyer disprove potential accusations of amorous manipulations and the like unless all prior interactions are elaborately recorded through both audio and video means?" asked Robins, in an earlier e-mail to Texas Lawyer.

Andrea Pessino has clarified some of the elements from "The Order 1886." According to a report from Gamepur on July 3, the co-founder behind Ready at Dawn disclosed that the term, "filmic," was used to described the visuals of the third-person shooting title. Some members of the gaming community have been critical of video game due to the lack of gameplay shown.
Ready at Dawn has only provided brief glimpse at how "The Order 1886" actually plays. Several fans were expecting something more aside from a linear third-person shooter with quick time events and frequent cut scene interruptions. As a result, some were offended at the video game being called "filmic."
According to Andrea Pessino, however, the term is only applicable to the graphics. The visuals from the new intellectual property uses a super widescreen display ratio along with other visual effects to create an alternative history rendition of London during the late 1800s. Furthermore, everything is rendered in real-time, even the aforementioned non-interactive cut scenes.
The co-founder of the studio also teased that more surprises are going to be revealed in the coming months. At E3 2014, Ready at Dawn provided a first look at the werewolf-like enemies. The main character of the story encountered and eventually battled a suspicious human who ended up transforming into the monstrosity. New videos should be released in several big gaming conventions, including next month's GamesCom 2014, that will be taking place later this year.
The studio is also being assisted by the SCE Santa Monica team, the creators behind the "God of War" series. "The Order 1886" release date was announced during the same E3 2014 event as it will be coming out on Feb. 20, 2015. The software product was originally targeting a fall launch window of this year. You can check out the box art of the PS4 exclusive video game from the official Playstation Facebook page near the top of this article.
