Grand Theft Auto Episodes Delayed on PC, PlayStation 3
Content changes at the request of Sony Europe pushed the GTA episodes back two weeks.
Been holding out for Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City on PC or PlayStation 3? You're going to have to wait just a bit longer. Developer Rockstar Games sent word today that the newly multiplatform episodes won't be making their originally announced release date of March 30; instead, expect The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned to finally hit PS3 and PC on April 13 in North America (April 16 everywhere else).
So what's up with the delay? Apparently Rockstar opted to make some "minor content changes" to the PS3's PAL version of the game at the request of Sony Europe. What these changes are, exactly, remains unclear, but a representative from Rockstar assured us that the alterations won't affect players' enjoyment of the games. They also noted that the adjustments have nothing to do with the requirements of any local ratings boards.
We'll let you know as soon as we know anything more about whatever it is Sony wanted cut from (or added to?) Episodes from Liberty City.

Yeah dude, I totally bought a PS3 to play GTA4, you must be psychic or something to know that. No! You clearly must have been living under a rock or underneath the circus tents your mom calls a "dress" for the past couple years to not notice the fact 360 gets everything first and PS3 owners get to suck it and wait. Why is that fair? Why should I spend more money on my console and not get as much out of it than the other guy with the 360? What is two more weeks to wait for something thats been out on 360 for over a year? Its BS, thats what it is; pure and simple.
Finally, no, im not a fanboy of any particular system. It takes alot of being burned by owning the PS3 and the Wii to convince me to even consider even buying a 360 and I still dont really want one. Im not a big MS fan at all to be honest, I use Apple computers and I find PC gaming boring and complicated compared to consoles. So call me what you will and insult me all you want, im not here to make friends and if I want to vent my frustrations I will, your the one who took the lowroad and insulted me when I was just commenting on something that generally sucks. Next time you get mad and feel the need to insult someone just do some stress exercises. Maybe you could crawl under your moms "dress" and use one her fat rolls as a punching bag, that should lower your stress level and its good for cardio too.

First of all, is "something" not "somethign". Unless you are trying to plug IGN. : )
"shouting out "LOL 360 IS BETTER" is just stupid". I agree. That's why I never did it. Wanna read again? Thanks.
@ 8bit_buddah: Im not emo. My hair is not black, and I haven't cried since last week so...
@ nemusPosted: Mar 19, 2010 12:00AM PST by 8bit_buddha
you're an idiot. i find it strange that someone who describes a game as ' uber-cheesy-emo-linear ', yet you're emo yourself. really? you're going to compare bayonetta to final fantasy? and on the 360, no less? alright, i don't own a ps3, but i give credit where it is due. earlier in its days, the ps3 multi platform games didn't look good because they were designed for a different format. not bluray. but as time has progressed, the multiplatform games are looking better and better. due largely in part to the videogame patches, i'd assume. And where the ps3 kicks the crap out of the xbox 360 is with it's exclusives. uncharted 2 was the beginning of the end for the xbox 360. i mean, the 360 is a great system, but it has it's flaws, like the ps3. But i love playing videogames, it doesn't matter on what system. and for someone to argue about something as pathetic as which game is better on which system is moronic. both systems will obselete in about 2 years anyway, so who really cares?
@Pookiechan!!!Posted: Mar 19, 2010 12:00AM PST by Karma713
I gotta call you out on your fucktarded comment about bayonetta. personally, i dont like the game, but it is pure and utter fact that it is better on the 360. im not a "fanboy" fag, i love both systems, but just like FFXIII cutscenes look hell of alot better on ps3, bayonetta is way better for 360. so quit being a douche.
Whuuuh?Posted: Mar 19, 2010 12:00AM PST by beedlej00z
2 weeks, no big deal. Still playing Bioshock2, Heavy Rain and FF13.. still.. I DID buy my ps3 for gta4, since the original (3d) series was released ON PS. So go figure, they planned some exclusivity for M$. and YES during this time I have been D Y I N G to play this content.. dont hate on them peeps for being anxious for a great game (I still play GTAIV) and cant wait to check this out....however..
No b!tching for waiting 2 more weeks folks.. seriously. Play some great games on PS3 NOW.
@MegaMan_N*8Posted: Mar 19, 2010 12:00AM PST by jcordgamer
If you only bought a PS3 for GTAIV then you're an idiot. As a matter of fact your entire whiny post tells me you're an idiot. I have been waiting for this for awhile now too but an extra 2 week wait is perfect because I HAVE OTHER GAMES TO PLAY LIKE GOD OF WAR 3. Sounds to me like you are trying to hide your stupid MS fanboyism. Sony since the beginning of the year and even late last year have done a great job on game releases and they definitely aren't playing catch up to MS. Go play the other countless releases on the PS3 instead of sounding like a moron and bitching about a 2 week delay on expansion stories.

What a bunch of crap is this release of The Ballad of Tony. Give us Grand Theft Auto, which is what we have been waiting for. http://www.digitalundivide.com/delightfull-games---free-and-nice

"you know, doing it for the satisfaction and enjoyment of making games, and not "HEY LET'S TRY TO COMPETE IN EVERY INDUSTRY"
Sony Playstations, Sony Vaio Laptop, Sony Bravia Hd TV, Sony Blu-Ray Player, Sony Psp Hanheld, Sony Ericson Mobile Phones, Upcoming Sony Smart phone, Sony Car Radios, Sony Digital Cameras, Sony MP3 players, Sony Home Theater...
Hey, they only do everything amirite?
Sony, like Microsoft rarely make games as it is, let alone do it for the enjoyment. They play the part of publishers while owning the exclusive rights to the studios that they fund. I believe only company that fully enjoys making games (and actually makes them) is of coarse Nintendo.
HmmmPosted: Mar 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Obsoletesoul
I own a 360 first, but I have to say the PS3 is a good system too. That said though, I love how the Sony fanboys always talk about how Sony has been at this for soooo long. Well Nintendo has been in the industry for way longer and look what they are releasing. Sega was in it for a long time too and look what that did for them. Time means nothing, and you are only as good as your last product. I'm not saying that is going to happen to them, but they can't just rely on what they did in the past.
Come on Sony, you need to step it up. I don't even own your system but competition is good for the industry overall, so I want them to do good also.
@RitsukoExPosted: Mar 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Pookiechan!!!
Haha, as if you're NOT a fanboy with remarks like "enjoy your crappy Bayonetta"...AS IF you've ever even played the PS3 version? ...sorry, but anyone who thinks that there is a --gamebreaking-- difference between the 2 versions is kidding themselves, and desperately looking for any way to win a pointless argument so that they can go to sleep at night thinking "oh yay!...my console is doing good!...I made the right purchase!...sigh..."....also...as if Microsoft could ever 1up Sony in gaming, which has been in it for way longer, and is actually, you know, doing it for the satisfaction and enjoyment of making games, and not "HEY LET'S TRY TO COMPETE IN EVERY INDUSTRY".
@NemusPosted: Mar 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Pookiechan!!!
Uh...is there some race to beat GTAIV or somethign?...is there a prize or somethign?...you're bashing the PS3 because it has to wait 2 weeks? Wow...really? Pathetic...
oh, and by the way..Bayonetta on the ps3 is exactly the same as Bayonetta on the 360...only retards nit pick at that...and since we got the update for it, it runs just as fast...you'd have to be desperate and really just grasping at claws to say the 360 is "superior" based on all the arguments you just said...speaking of arguments...there really shouldn't be one, as just randomly shouting out "LOL 360 IS BETTER" is just stupid.
LOL @ PS3Posted: Mar 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by Nemus
In the meantime, you can keep playing the uber-cheesy-emo-linear FFXIII and the not-as-good-as-Bayonetta-on-360 GoW3 (ok, thats a good one actually).
But yeah, sucks for PS3 owners, not only the system lose the GTIV exclusive, but now they have to wait for the full experience, which now may be "full" in quotes.
2 weeksPosted: Mar 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by projectrunaway
I'll be finishing up GTA4 in the meantime
Lol...Posted: Mar 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by pandasnyper723
well at least this is being released at the height of the games popularity.
ArrrrgggPosted: Mar 18, 2010 12:00AM PST by MegaMan_N*8
Im so tired of this shit. I buy a PS3 thinking this thing is more reliable and has more features than the competition, this will be great! So far its just one thing after another, after another, after another. All PS3 owners ever do is get to watch Sony fumble the ball week after week and try to play catch up to MS. While I dont particularly care for either console overall, I wanna play some games dammnit, and I want them in a timely fashion.
I was just thinking about wrapping up the GTA4 game I started in lieu of picking these games up on PSN at the end of the month but I guess Ill be waiting a little longer. What really chaps my ass about the whole thing is what does the European version have to do with the American release, and why am I like countless others waiting for that to be finished?

Shortly after the killing of Jharkhand MP Sunil Mahato by Naxalites on March 4, Union home minister Shivraj Patil admitted to lack of coordination between the Centre and extremism-hit states in counter-operations. But what he did not touch upon is that it is exactly this operational synergy that is the strong point of CPI(Maoist) cadres.
This perfect coordination among the Left-wing extremists, now spread over 182 districts across 16 states, has been touched upon by the intelligence agencies in their recent reports. The Naxalites, whose armoury is replete with weapons looted from the police, are now putting them to good use by organising their guerrilla fighters, by now ace marksmen in the stolen SLRs and INSAS rifles, into six "companies" (nearly 600 cadres).

Lexus Concept Suggests Bolder Styling Is Coming
Lexus today said it will unveil a new car called the LF-Gh at the 2011 New York International Auto Show April 20. The company said the hybrid concept vehicle's name stands for Lexus Future Grand Touring Hybrid and it is meant to foreshadow the styling of future Lexus cars.
The LF-Gh is the latest styling exercise under L-Finesse, the Toyota Motor Corp. luxury unit's overall design theme for the last decade. Lexus says it has refined the car's look to make it "a bolder, more distinct projection of what a luxury car could become in a modern world."
Since the brand's first car's rolled out in 1989, Lexus has been known for conservative styling that many people say is boring and uninspired. Even the company's supposedly sporty models, from the soft-sided GS 300 of the mid-1990s to the more recent cicada-shaped SC430, lacked the hard-edged muscular look people have come to expect from in luxury cars.
In a teaser photo of the front end I see design elements that remind me of many cars. It has the gaping grille and glittering LED eye makeup of modern Audis. And those triple headlights take me back to the 1984 Pontiac 6000 STE. Of course what we can see of the Lexus concept looks aggressive and appears to be a departure from the brand's historically staid approach to car design.

That then is your greatest failure. You have no reason to develop and evolve.KArt | Project Michelangelo | LiveJournal
If I was still at school, a critique might, indeed, be helpful, but I'm not, and I'm self-assured about my writing. Works of art aren't the product of asking people where you're going wrong. Those are works of entertainment, tailored to suit an audience, prior to an individual.
Tell us more about your revolution, poet. What's it called? Can a fellow artist join in?"The time is sublime and the moon is so right"
Everyone is welcome. I'd prefer to go into depth when the time is right, later this year. It's an artistic revolution, carrying a priority to address assorted injustice characterising how artistry is conveyed. That's, more or less, all I can say at this juncture.

Please please please stop trying to sound all smart and scholarly. It's killing me...it just makes you sound stupider and stupider. If you want to "fit in" in these forums or whatever the hell you're trying to do, I suggest loosening your ass. People really like to associate with others that will show emotions and laugh with them and generally jump into the crowd to have fun.

HONOLULU -- A Hawaii woman's last name is a real mouthful, containing 36 letters and 19 syllables in all. And it's so long that she couldn't get a driver's license with her correct name.
Janice "Lokelani" Keihanaikukauakahihuliheekahaunaele is in the midst of a fight with state and local officials to ensure that her full name gets listed on a license or ID card.
The documents only have room for 35 characters, so Hawaii County instead issued her driver's license and her ID with the last letter of her name chopped off. And it omitted her first name.
The 54-year-old Big Island resident wrote her mayor and city councilwoman for help, but the county said the state computer system they used wouldn't allow names longer than 35 characters.

One county's junk could be another man's treasure. For the past several years now, Houston County has selling their old, used equipment on Govdeals.com.
Officials say they're never sure how much money they'll make but any amount is better than nothing.
"They either sat around in the building, get in the way and we trashed them, and now people will buy those old monitor just for parts if nothing else, and we get some money for them and it goes back into the tax payer's pockets." says Mark Culver, Houston County Commission Chairman.
This week, some new items are up for bid, including a garbage truck, old computer monitors and cars that were seized by the sheriff's office.
For some items, bidding will start as low as a dollar and how high those bids go, nobody knows.
"We put them on Govdeals.com and then they are open to the World Wide Web and we sell stuff to people all over the United States. We sold a garbage truck that they took to Jamaica one time." says Mark Pool, Houston County Chief Engineer
After the items are sold and the money comes in, it will be distributed upon several units in the county, but the Sheriff's department already has plans for their share.
"The money that we use from the proceeds of the vehicles that we have seized goes right back into vehicles that we use for the sheriff's office." says Houston County Sheriff Andy Hughes
In most cases, the department in the county that donated the item for bid, will receive whatever money is made from that item.
Only government agencies can post items up for auction, but anyone in the public can bid on the items.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the worst is about to hit his city.
The threat of an 11-foot wall of water has prompted officials to close the mass transit system and consider cutting power to Wall Street and all of lower Manhattan to avoid saltwater damage.
A crane is also dangling from about 75 stories above the street from a luxury high-rise under construction in Midtown Manhattan. That's forced the evacuation of nearly residents and the closing of streets.
On coastal Long Island, floodwaters swamped cars, downed trees and put neighborhoods under water as beachfronts and fishing villages bore the brunt of the storm. A police car was lost rescuing 14 people from the popular resort Fire Island.
The storms forced the closure of Wall Street for two days. Several bridges and tunnels throughout the day closed as the weather worsened.
Fortunately, no deaths or injuries have been reported.

Ace actress Pascaline Edwards has indicated that she does not see anything wrong with nudity in our movies depending on how one looks at it. According to her when it comes to the way actors dress in movies, there is nothing wrong with it.
Speaking on Hitz FM's Daybreak Hitz, she said "if you are a woman of my age and you are supposed to play the role of an older woman dating a young guy at the beach, you don't want me to dress showing parts of my body, I will dress decently but if a young lady is playing the same role, she will be a bit uncovered to show what she has and for me that is two different things and depending on how the story is going then there is nothing wrong with that."
In her opinion, nudity means looking at something but not really seeing it clearly even though you can imagine it whereas nakedness is where you show the body uncovered which is rare in Ghanaian movies. She disclosed that if she is given a role to play nude in a movie, she will do it but cover herself well enough to look good.
Pascaline indicated that the Ghanaian Movie industry is growing so well in terms of casting, sound, light and acting. She also stated that she does not see anything wrong with our movies because she sees it as an extension of everyday life. She advised that actors should always look different in their movies and in real life because most actors are models and want to look good.
According to her, she however has a problem with the industry. This is the fact that most movie producers are not creative when it comes to storylines, adding that most producers simply pick foreign stories and translate then them into our local languages and they also don't shoot them well. She therefore advised that Ghanaians should learn to write their original scripts and shoot good movies.
Asked why she has been off the screens, Pascaline stated that in her opinion the producers have not had a role that fits her and that is why she has been off the scene.
The Tema-based actress revealed that she has however featured in a recent movie titled Breaking The Rules which also starred John Dumelo, Prince David Osei and Roselyn Ngissah.
Pascaline told Lexis on Daybreak Hitz that she is currently working on her Radio drama which will be out soon. She said she is working seriously with her cast to put up a good piece.
In addition to that, the erstwhile goddess of the screen is working on another radio programme which will air on Hitz FM in the near future.
In addition to her acting career, Pascaline has a foundation which caters for kids and the youth to unearth their talents.
The foundation which is known as the Pascaline Edwards Foundation is to give back to the society.
She noted that when adults are talking, they don't allow children to talk back and this makes the children timid. She therefore wants to use the opportunity to help these young ones bring out what they know in order to help the society.
Pascaline has been in the movie in the industry for 21 years now and she has featured in countless number of movies such A Stab in the Dark which shot her to fame in the 90's. She also starred in Forbidden Fruit, The Mask, House Arrest and My Father's Wife. Other movies she featured in include Messages, Deadline for Asante, Without Her Consent, Jewels and several others.
She won the Best Actress Award in 2002 and has also performed as a singer backing the likes of KK Kabobo.

From our September 1 Issue: We're...
Sanofi-aventis and AEterna Zentaris ended their agreement to develop and commercialize the latter's LHRH antagonist, cetrorelix. The decision follows the drug's recent failure in a European Phase III trial in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. AEterna and sanofi-aventis originally signed their cetrorelix collaboration and licensing deal in March.
AEterna Zentaris is now focusing its clinical development efforts on the late-stage oral PI3K/Akt inhibitor oncology candidate, perifosine. Keryx Biopharmaceuticals, AEterna's partner and licensee for perifosine in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, recently confirmed the start of a Phase III registrational trial with the drug in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. AEterna Zentaris retains rights to perifosine in the rest of the world, except for South Korea where the candidate has been licensed to Handok.
Juergen Engel, Ph.D., AEterna Zentaris' president and CEO, reports that his firm is also evaluating further development plans for the targeted doxorubicin–peptide conjugate AEZS-108. Positive results from Phase II ovarian and endometrial cancer trials with the drug were reported in November. AEZS-108 is designed to specifically target LHRH-receptor positive tumors.
The company is separately "in the process of reactivating" a Phase III trial with the oral ghrelin agonist, macimorelin (AEZS-130), as a diagnostic for adult growth hormone deficiency. The original Phase III study had been initiated in the U.S. by AEterna Zentaris' former licensee, Ardana, but was suspended before completion because of Ardana's insolvency.
AEterna Zentaris has since assumed sponsorship of the IND application for AEZS-130 and is discussing with the FDA the best way to complete the ongoing Phase III program and subsequently file an NDA.

Age Structural Transition and Economic Growth in India. Edition No. 1
- August 2010
- Region: India
- 96 Pages
- VDM Publishing House
In the recent years considerable attempts have been made to understand the regional dimensions of economic growth in India. Understanding the causes and nature of differences in levels and growth of income across the regions is very important because even small differences in the growth rates, if cumulated over a long period of time, may have substantial impact on the standards of living of people (Barro and Sala-i-Martin, 1995). The recent observations of economy suggest that labor force growth has been much faster than growth rate of employment, thus India's challenge is to respond in a time, to take advantage of this opportunity for inserting its labor force into the global production chain, catching up with China's success. The combination of more economic reform and a stronger service sector is likely to boost productivity in India in coming years and allow it to compete effectively with China in manufacturing (Mujkherji, 2006).

By MIKE SMITH
On April 12, the Eastchester Eagles hosted their rivals from Scarsdale, beating the Raiders 10-8 in their annual Spark the Night for Autism game.
The win might have been a little too close for comfort for some fans, but served as an example of how improved the Eagles are in the 2014 season.
"I think we made some mistakes in the game that we've been trying to limit this year," head coach Steve Lennon said. "Against the teams we're supposed to beat, we want to be able to pull away, and we've been working hard in practice every day to do that."
Eastchester's offense was led by senior Rob Lalli, who tallied four goals on the day. Over the past few weeks, Lalli—who is Eastchester's top scoring threat—has worked on improving his efficiency on the offensive end to great results. Down the stretch, he has averaged four goals per game on fewer shots, adding to the success of Eastchester's offensive unit.
"We talked in the beginning of the season, when he was taking shots but not hitting as many," Lennon said. "He's been working really hard in practice on all different scenarios and now he's getting to the point where he will score four goals on six shots or so."
Lalli has been facing increased double-teams this year and has also been working on distributing the ball to some of Eastchester's younger scorers, including John Archidiacono and John Guido. In the two
underclassmen, Eastchester has found backup scoring options and two players poised to lead the Eagles for years to come.
"Guido had almost 50 points as a freshman, and he's on pace to possibly score 200 points for his career when it's over," Lennon said. "Both guys can shoot in space, and with Rob to bring the defense to one side, that helps us a lot."
With Wayne Hoffman in net, making more than 20 saves per game, the Eagles look to be a formidable opponent for everyone this year. The team's only two losses have come against perennial Section I powers Fox Lane and Mamaroneck.
"Against teams like that, we're learning on the run with our sophomores, and against Mamaroneck, we were playing down a man for 14 minutes," Lennon said. "It doesn't matter who you are, if you play against a team like that down a man for that long, you're not going to win."
Saturday's game against the Raiders coincided with Eastchester's annual effort to raise money and awareness for autism.
Spark the Night for Autism, the brainchild of Lennon and 2013 senior Matt Power, raised $2,000 dollars through the price of admission, concessions and various raffles, and looks to be a staple of the program moving forward.
"I think everything ran tighter this year," Lennon said. "We're on the field, trying to play, so we rely so heavily on the contribution of the parents and the community to help raise money. We think this is definitely a good thing for our program."
The Eagles have nine games left on the year, including non-conference contests against tough teams like Harrison and a full docket of league games.
"We always have the goal of winning the league," Lennon said. "So we'd like to win out."

How did you create it? I dubbed this meal the "First Dinner of the Summer". All the vegetables - Beets, Sweet Potatoes, Sweet Peas, Fresh Arugula - are from the West Tisbury farmers' market across the street. We roasted them simply and topped the greens off with Annie's Goddess dressing.

This wonderful post linked here looks at better names for common objects. A camel, for example, would now be a sand moose. Pretty good!
Oddly enough, these folks are making a serious point about the English language:
In linguistic morphology, we make the distinction between a bound morpheme as a morpheme (the smallest grammatical unit in a language) that appears only as part of a larger word, whereas a free or unbound morpheme is one that can stand alone. A compound word brings together previously 'free' or separate words, and bam, a new word is created.
Generally, an English compound word consists of a 'head' (e.g. moose) and a 'modifier' (e.g. sand, denoting what type of moose it is).
We can get very creative in English with compound words – they can use nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions and adverbs. And they can be hyphenated (e.g. mother-in-law), closed (e.g. football, childlike) or open (e.g. real estate).
So now is your chance. Can you get creative and invent a name for something that already has a name?

The final hurdle is within sight. All Derrick Rose has to do is prove he can leap over it. The Chicago Bulls' superstar has been cleared for full-contact practice. This should be the last step in his recovery meaning he could be cleared to play soon. An expectation of an early February return is not unreasonable.
According to Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago, the only thing left for Rose to do before returning to game action is get more time in during practice. Coach Tom Thibodeau says the team just needs Rose to acclimated to the offense and the team again. Once he does, he'll be back on the floor.
"He can do all the cutting, he can do shooting, he can go off the dribble," Thibodeau said. "So it's just a matter of him getting acclimated to playing in a game situation.
"You have to understand that in practice you're striving to get as close to a game-like intensity as you can, but you also have to understand that you're not going to be able to get there, so that will be a whole different level. And we have to make sure that he's ready to handle that intensity."This is great news for the Chicago Bulls and troubling news for the rest of the Eastern Conference. Coach Thibodeau has managed to navigate a Rose-less Bulls team to a 28-17 record. The Bulls are currently in third place in the Eastern Conference standings, not far behind the New York Knicks and Miami Heat. With Rose back, the Bulls could take first place quickly if all goes well.
Rose averaged 21.8 points per game and 7.9 assists per game last season. He was one of the most explosive players in the league and looked to be leading the Bulls to a possible championship run. Then he went down with the torn ACL. With Rose healthy again, the Bulls hope to make another run at the title.

Definition of Second World War in English:
Second World War
Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939 led Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany. Germany defeated and occupied France the following year and soon overran much of Europe. Italy joined the war in 1940, and the US and Japan entered following the Japanese attack on the US fleet at Pearl Harbor. Italy surrendered in 1943 and the Allies launched a full-scale invasion in Normandy in June 1944. The war in Europe ended when Germany surrendered in May 1945; Japan surrendered after the US dropped atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. An estimated 55 million people were killed during the war, including a much higher proportion of civilians than in the First World War

Gingrich Formally Exits 2012 Race
A Look Back at the 2012 Campaign of Newt Gingrich
ARLINGTON, Va. –Newt Gingrich said he is ending his run for president, but the former House speaker said he plans to remain a force in the campaign.
Speaking at a small hotel conference room here, he thanked supporters, expressed some regrets and finally made it official:
"Today I am suspending the campaign," Mr. Gingrich said, flanked by family members, including two grandchildren. "But suspending the campaign does not mean suspending citizenship."
Mr. Gingrich, for instance, made it very clear he intends to remain a strong presence in the 2012 elections, even if he's not running for president. And his praise for Mitt Romney, who he has conceded will be the Republican nominee and has told he will eventually endorse, was at best tepid.
"Is Mitt Romney conservative enough? My answer is simple," he said. "Compared to Barack Obama? This is not a choice between Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan. This is a choice between Mitt Romney and the most radical, leftist president in American history."
So, "yes," right?
Mr. Gingrich decided to hold off on his endorsement Wednesday because he wanted to give his "last speech as a candidate for president," someone close to the campaign said. He instead wants to hold a joint event with Mr. Romney "on the stage for the visual," the person said.
Mr. Gingrich's spokesman, R.C. Hammond, said it was up to the Romney campaign when it had time for such an event. Mr. Romney's spokeswoman didn't respond to requests for comment, but the former Massachusetts governor was also in the Washington area Wednesday and was scheduled to stop by the Republican National Committee's headquarters.
As for Mr. Gingrich's speech, it managed to capture in 20 minutes the peaks and valleys of the volatile candidate's campaign.
He spoke with sweep about the future of the country, and hit on red-meat issues – such as religious liberty and what he described as the threat of radical Islam – that excite conservatives.
But it also included the eyebrow-raising tangents that Mr. Gingrich has struggled with, or some would say embraced, throughout his entire career.
"I am cheerfully going to take back up the issue of space," Mr. Gingrich said, acknowledging that he was mocked during the campaign for promising a moon base by the end of his second term. "This is a fundamental question about whether we're still a country that dreams… and has the courage to say to young people, 'Yes you ought to learn math and science because there's a wonderful future."
On that topic, he concluded, "I happen to think that's a better future than methamphetamine and cocaine."
Below, some video highlights from the Gingrich campaign.
Below Elizabeth Williamson on The News Hub reviews the real impact Gingrich had.

Printing coupons uses quite a bit of ink and paper. Free or cheap paper seems easy to come by. I am well stocked on free paper thanks to Office Max. Printer ink is another story! I have an HP printer and the ink cartridges are expensive brand new. I have tried to have them refilled at Walgreens, but they cannot refill my particular cartridge.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to try ordering remanufactured ink cartridges online. There are several companies that offer this service. I compared prices for my ink cartridges- including the shipping fee.
What I discovered was that my HP ink cartridge comes in a extra large size! The XL cartridge prints approximately 600 pages for $16 were as the regular cartridge only prints 200 for $10. I am so happy to discover this since changing ink cartridges is a real pain; not to mention the cost per print savings!
I have been using my remanufactured ink cartridge for a week now and the print quality has been great. I also ordered enough so that hopefully I will not have to order for a long time.
Staples has a great program for recycling ink cartridges. If you bring in any empty ink cartridge, you will earn $3 in Staples Rewards. At the end of the month, Staples will send you the Staples Rewards in the mail to use in store as Staples money. You can recycle up to 10 ink cartridges a month and earn $3 per cartridge. Anyone know of any other stores that give you credit for recycled cartridges?
Here are some of the places I looked at for ordering my ink cartridges:
Ink Orbit Free shipping on orders over $55.
4 InkJets is offering 10% off with code SPRINGTEN plus FREE shipping on orders over $50.
Carrot Ink $10 off orders over $40. Free shipping on orders $45 or more after discounts.
Do you have any other tips for saving on printer ink?
Now it's your turn!
If you are a blogger, write a post about your idea for making dollars out of change. It can be on any topic as long as it has to do with saving money. We encourage you to place a link back to Madame Deals in your post. Then come back here and add your post URL to the linky. Please post directly to your post and not your homepage.

Jessica Taylor, PharmD, and Arthur Aduma, PharmD, were recognized with Bayhealth's PACE (Pharmacists Achieving Clinical Excellence) Award to honor their dedication to the pain management program at Bayhealth, in addition to their outstanding clinical and patient skills.
"Taylor's and Aduma's collaborative efforts have made the pain management program the valued resource it is today for our institution and our patients. They have led the way for development of pain management training for Bayhealth employees and created a training manual for pharmacists," said Bayhealth Pharmacy Director Alex Zarow, RPh.
Taylor recently became a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist and serves as a preceptor for Bayhealth pharmacy residents and students, as well as working closely with clinical staff at Kent General. Recently, Taylor collaborated with nursing staff to transition an ICU patient from IV feeding to tube feeding, thus reducing treatment cost and overall medical risk to the patient.
A background as a physician assistant gives Aduma a unique perspective into pain management. Having built a strong rapport with physicians and nurses, he is often requested by name through the pain management consult service that he established. Of recent note, Aduma teamed up with an oncologist to design a regimen for a chemotherapy patient. The patient's pain subsequently dropped from 10/10 to 2/10 on the pain scale.
Bayhealth Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Executive Bonnie Perratto, RN, praised Taylor and Aduma at the PACE Award ceremony: "The work you do for pain management is an essential part of patient care here at Bayhealth. You are a critical asset to us and to our patients, every day."
Presented annually during National Hospital and Health-System Pharmacy Week, Bayhealth's PACE Award recognizes pharmacists who go above and beyond the normal requirements of their positions. It has been given at Kent General and Milford Memorial Hospitals since 2009.
Bayhealth is Southern Delaware's healthcare leader with hospitals in Dover and in Milford. Bayhealth provides a wide range of medical services, including cardiovascular, cancer, orthopaedics and rehabilitation, pediatrics, respiratory care, sleep care, surgical weight loss and women's services.

Chocolate Tehina cookies by The Kosher Baker
Chocolate Tehina Cookies
2013-11-12 19:39:55
Yields 3
Paula Shoyer, (AKA The Kosher Baker) is revolutionizing Kosher Baking. For example, this chocolate tehina cookie.
Write a review
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
4 large eggs
½ cup Soom Tahina
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened dark cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups chocolate chips
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or whisk attachment on medium speed to beat together the olive oil, sugar and brown sugar, scraping down the bowl a few times, until the mixture comes together into small clumps and looks like crystals.
Turn the mixer to low speed and, with the mixer on, add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition.
Stop the machine and scrape down the bowl as needed.
Add the tahina and vanilla and whisk again.
Add the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt and whisk well.
Add the chocolate chips and mix to distribute.
Place the dough into the fridge for one hour to firm up. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Line three baking sheets with parchment paper, or bake in batches.
Cover and refrigerate the dough between batches.
Scoop up a heaping tablespoon of dough and use another spoon to drop the dough on the prepared baking sheets, about two inches apart. ("I like to use a small cookie scoop")
Press the tops down to flatten the ball.
Try to make sure all your cookies are the same size.
Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, until the cookies are mostly set but the centers are still soft; when you press the centers, your finger should be able to press halfway down into the cookie.
The bottoms should not be too firm.
Use a spatula to immediately lift the cookies onto a wire rack and let cool.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days or freeze for up to three months.

Outside Political Groups' Spending Soars
Outside political groups operating in the 2014 congressional elections are spending four times as much money as they did during the 2010 midterms, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal based on data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
To anyone who follows campaigns, the growing influence of super PACs, conservative groups and liberal entities is well known.
But the fourfold increase in just four years is startling.

- 10 Moments From 2014 Likely to Influence 2016 Presidential Campaign
- Final 2014 House Race Settled After Recount
- Conservative Club for Growth Names New Chief After 2014 Setbacks
- Hedge Fund Founder Steve Cohen Gave Big to Boost Republican Governors
Overall, groups have spent about $60 million on this election, compared with just about $15 million at the same point four years ago.
What makes those figures even more remarkable is that they don't include the millions of dollars spent this election by the biggest outside group involved in the 2014 election so far. Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group backed by the wealthy Koch brothers, is likely to pay for more campaign advertisements and other activity than any other outside group in the 2014 election.
Most of the money spent on television advertisements by Americans for Prosperity doesn't have to be disclosed due to the quirky federal rules for disclosure of political spending. (Ads by Americans for Prosperity are considered to be based on "issues," and not considered by election officials to be designed to influence elections; therefore it does not need to be disclosed as campaign spending.)
So far this election, a total of 150 organizations have filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission reporting at least some spending on the election.
More of the groups are supporting Republican candidates than Democratic ones, but the overall amount of spending reported to the FEC was about the same for both sides, according to the data from the Center for Responsive Politics.
The 80 conservative organizations have spent a total of $30.5 million on campaign activities thus far while the roughly 50 entities supporting Democratic candidates have spent $30.1 million, according to the data.
There are a handful of other entities could not be identified as supporting only Republican and Democratic candidates.
Of the top organizations operating in the election, many support Democratic candidates. The two largest pro-Democratic entities, Senate Majority PAC ($9.7 million in spending) and House Majority PAC ($3.4 million) are run by former Democratic party officials.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which so far has supported mostly Republican candidates, ranked No. 2 overall with $3.8 million in spending.
Fourth on the list is the pro-Democratic union Service Employees International Union with $3.2 million spent so far.
Even though the pro-Democratic and pro-Republican groups have each spent about $30 million so far, a significant portion of that money has been spent by GOP organizations in Republican primaries.
In several of the top Republican primaries around the country, such as in Mississippi and Idaho, mainstream Republican groups, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, are spending money to fend off Republican primary challengers funded by conservative groups.
The main groups funding Republican challengers are the Senate Conservatives fund ($2.8 million in total spending) and the Club for Growth ($2.4 million).

My Gear
So you want to know what gear I'm using? Well you've come to the right place.
This is a list of all the gear I use on a regular basis. It doesn't include everything that I've ever bought or used it's simply a list of what I have a links to the Adorama.com website where you can find out more information.
Camera Bodies
Canon 5D Mark II
My main body which I use for all my pro work and the majority of my personal photography
Canon 600D / T3i / Kiss x5
Primarily used as a HD video camera I also use this body when I'm traveling light
Canon 24-105mm L f/4 IS
If could only own own lens it would be this one. Fast focusing, quiet and very sharp it's a brilliant every day lens.
Canon 70-200mm L f/2.8 IS
It's big, it's heavy and it doesn't come cheap but the quality of the images have to be seen to be believed.
Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
I'll use this lens when I don't need the big f/2.8 or when I need a little extra reach. Great quality too.
Canon 50mm f1/8 Mark II
The nickname "plastic fantastic" says it all. Light in weigh and small in size, this thing is almost always in my camera bag
Canon 60mm Macro EF-S
It may only fit on crop sensor bodies (like my 600d) but I love this little macro marvel
Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX
I've owned this lens for years and it shows but I just love the 10mm (16mm equivalent) end of this lens.
Manfrotto 055 Pro
My Manfrotto may be discontinued but the replacement 055 PRO model is a big improvement… good price too.
The 488 midi has been replaced by the 498 but the RC4 plate is still able to handle the heaviest lens/body combo I own
Canon 580 EX ii
I have two of these guys and they never let me down
Canon 430 EX
It's smaller lighter and produces a stop less light, but other then that it's perfect.
Canon ST-E2
It might look old and clunky (well it is) but it keeps eTTL with my speedlights and it works like a charm

Back in 1990, Irish/German actor Michael Fassbender's last name was a rich gift to the schoolboys of St. Brendan's College (Colaiste Bhreanainn in Irish) in Killarney, Co. Kerry.
For the entire first year they teased the life out of Fassbender over it. It was the "bender" part, local slang for "gay." That's not a word that 13-year-old boys can be readily trusted with, even in an upscale school for middle class Irish boys that originally opened in the 1860s.
The unmistakably heterosexual actor is reportedly dating his "Shame" co-star Nicole Beharie, but teenage boys can't resist an easy target and for 12 months back in the '90s they let him have it, thinking up every way to rhyme his name that they could, until they got to know him and decided they liked him, which made them stop.
Born in Germany and raised in Killarney, where his parents have run a successful restaurant since 1993, Fassbender was always going to be a little different to the other kids. For one thing it was said that he speaks fluent German.
"I put fluent German on my CV but that's a little bit of a white lie," Fassbender tells the Irish Voice with a laugh. But even the legend was enough to make the local tongues wag.
"I guess I did feel somewhat like an outsider just because Fassbender sticks out among the Fitzgeralds and O'Sullivans and O'Connors and whatnot," he confesses. "But in the area I grew up there was kind a lot of German immigrants there just because of the hotel and factory that had been set up there in Kerry.
"So there was a kind of community. And it's funny because all -- well, two of my very close friends from school -- one of them is Italian Canadian and the other's half Irish and American from San Diego. So I guess we all kind of stuck together a little bit.
"But then I went to London and I felt more Irish. It really sort of depends on when you leave. I think then you realize what your roots are when you go away from it."
Fassbender, 36, is away from his Kerry roots more often than ever now, thanks to becoming one of the most sought after lead male actors of his generation. Sharing the screen alongside Brad Pitt and Benedict Cumberbatch this week, he has emerged as a star in his own right.
In "12 Years a Slave," which opens on Friday, Fassbender delivers an Oscar worthy performance in another remarkable film by director Steve McQueen. (Fassbender has spoken of his hurt at being passed over by the Academy for his work in "Shame," an inexplicable snub that they cannot possibly replicate this time and hope to call themselves judges).
Fassbender's performance in the new film is flawless, echoing the best work of the film's lead Chiwetel Ejiofor, who gives one of the greatest performances committed to film in his role as Solomon Northup, a man kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana in the 1830s. With a little luck and a lot of common sense, both men should be holding golden statues at the Oscars next year.
McQueen was already preparing to direct "12 Years a Slave" when Fassbender was doing the publicity rounds for "Shame," he says.
"He told me when we were on the 'Shame' press junket that the next film he wanted to make was about slavery and I thought, 'Of course, that makes sense.'
"And then I got the script several months later and I read it. At that point he didn't say, 'I want you to play Edwin Epps' (the brutal Louisiana slave owner) but when I read it I was hoping he would offer me that role. I called him up immediately after I read the script and said I'd do anything to work on this, even if it's only one or two days work, I want to be involved."
The role is one of the most challenging of Fassbender's career because the character treats black people worse than livestock. He doesn't believe in their humanity at all. He thinks black people are a subhuman species that cannot think or feel like he does. He's also a rapist who quotes the Bible at everyone he thinks is inferior to him.
That's not the kind of role that your typical Hollywood star would jump at, always conscious of their public image, but Fassbender didn't hesitate because he understood the power of the story the film was telling.
"I was glad to take on the responsibility of playing him for sure, just because I thought the story was so beautiful. I just think that's an important thing that Steve manages to do in all of his films to date," says Fassbender.

Hey guys, you won't believe this but I've found another really cool watch! Who would have thought that there were so many cool electronic watches out there. So far I've written about the Casio Men's Watch which doubles as a TV remote control; I then wrote about the Fluds Mens Boombox Watch and finally, so the women wouldn't feel left out, I wrote about the Ladies Polar FT40 Heart Rate Monitor Watch.
What I love about this next watch is that its under $30 making it very affordable. Something else I love about this watch, being a gadget loving sort of guy and all, is that it's a Spy Watch with Hidden Camera, Microphone, Video Recorder and USB 4gb. Not bad huh. Naturally I've imported one from Amazon using WP Zon Builder, so that you can read the reviews. I noticed that eBay had a whole lot of different ones that you may want to check out as well.
Can't you just imagine yourself with one of these. Oh yeah, I forgot, this is supposed to be one of those great gift giving ideas.

A Quote by George Orwell on orthodoxy, ideas, dogma, belief, and silenced
At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is "not done" to say it... Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the high-brow periodicals.

Memorandum from a ConservativePosted Tuesday, September 8, 2009, at 9:08 AM
Barack Obama is the President of the United States of America. He was duly and honestly elected to the office by a majority of those Americas who voted in the 2008 election. And, as provided in the Constitution, received a majority of Electoral votes.
Frankly, I like what I've seen of the man. It's said that in his youth he wanted for a time to be called "Barry." With maturity he accepted who he is, with all the complications such self-acceptance holds for humans. He impressed me with his speech to the Democratic convention in 2004 as the first political figure since JFK who could motivate -- for good or for ill -- with the power of the spoken word. My intrigue with this guy with the hard to remember name was cemented when a campaign worker said the President had never missed a parent-teacher conference in all the time he'd been in politics.
In the interest of full disclosure it must be here stated that I have always considered myself a Republican voter; having voted so since 1964. Also in the interest of full disclosure, liking a man does not imply, explicitly nor implicitly, that one agrees with everything (or anything) that man says or decides.
However we may have voted, in America we have a long tradition and history of treating the man who holds the office of President with honor and respect. He is addressed as "Mr. President," gentlemen and ladies rise when he enters the room, and he is allowed to speak without interruption -- these courtesies being marks of civilized people.
In America we also have a long and cherished tradition of vilifying whoever happens to be President at the moment -- these discourtesies also being marks of civilized people. A certain percentage is going to hate any President (even if they did not vote). There are no official figures available, but it is reasonable to postulate the percentage of haters has not varied since George Washington.
We expect Presidents to do certain things. We expect them to stand up to the Soviets in the face of thermal nuclear war, we expect them to grieve when the nation grieves, we expect them to do photo ops with 4-H Queens.
And, from time to time, we expect our President will use for good that honor and admiration accorded by children to whoever is President of the United States. Every President in my lifetime has done something like this. With whatever faults he may have or which may be attributed to him, Barack Obama is a very good motivator and has the admiration of a great many young children.
Certainly all Americas have the right to disagree with and personally dislike anyone in political office. It is not at altogether clear, though, whether I have the right to teach my children to disrespect the President of the United States because I don't like the man. It is not at all clear it is an American value to keep my children home because someone I don't like might use the office of President to influence kids to do good things. Speaking for neither God nor man, for me to teach any American child to disrespect the office of President would seem an act lacking in "American values."
I have always thought myself a political and pragmatic conservative, proud as such to have voted Republican. Lately, though, the image "right-wing conservatives" seem to be projecting is vilification, revulsion, and fabrication. If that is the best they can do, maybe I should find a more constructive, positive, and honor bound Party for which to be proud?
Barack Obama is the President of the United States of America. If I ever meet him it will be an honor and I will address him as Mr. President -- even if Barry was easier to remember.

Very well said, and that's the way it should be.
I consider myself a democrat, although I have crossed over many times. I did not vote for George W. Bush, and many things he did really bothered me or even made me downright mad, and some things he did still does. But I never lost respect for the presidency. Like you, had I had the opportunity, I would have considered it an honor to have been able to see or meet a President.

You have to respect the office of the President, even if you do not respect the current, or any former, occupant.
I consider myself an independant voter, I choose the person who concides with my decisions the most on many issues without regard to their political party.
-- Posted by Leo L. Southworth on Tue, Sep 8, 2009, at 9:17 AM
I have noticed that the tone and rhetoric seems to have become much less civil.
One of my pet peeves is the tendency for some commentators to call the President Mr Obama or Mr Bush or even simply Obama or Bush. Even if you don't like the current/former resident of the White House you should respect the office. Call the President Mr Obama/Bush/whoever it is. Address him as Mr President. You may not have voted for that individual but you did vote to continue the office so respect it.

Authorities said a work-release inmate who escaped in Tangipahoa Parish was captured late Friday night.
Investigators said they received a call about 8:30 a.m. Thursday from a woman who said she had been abducted by Christopher Ricker, 35, from her Covington-area workplace.
The woman, who was identified as Ricker's ex-girlfriend, Melissa Messer, 35, said she was held against her will until he released her on Wardline Road.
Ricker was later spotted by deputies on Highway 442 in Loranger. He wrecked after a short pursuit and escaped by jumping in the river.
An intense search for Ricker continued on Friday.
Officials said details of Ricker's capture would be released later.

Uzma began her journey in the culinary arts at the Colorado Mountain Culinary Institute in Keystone.

It was her chance to develop her own unique style. She went on to collaborate with several Chicago area caterers--taking on the challenge of balancing high volume and the highest quality production. While serving as Head Pastry Chef at Wolfgang Puck at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary art, her surroundings inspired her to develop new tastes and visuals to adorn her chocolates.
Uzma shares her excitement for the art of chocolate at Triton College, where she has served as adjunct faculty since 2006.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Hayao Miyazaki's magical adventure is widely considered an animated masterpiece, but it can be a creepy and frightening experience for younger viewers. There are dozens of freaky looking creatures that threaten each other or the protagonist, who is trying to save her parents. Many, many scenes involve these strange beings, and younger children used to more sanitized characters may find them disturbing. One particularly scary scene involves a beloved character in the shape of a dragon who returns from a journey injured, bloody, and on the verge of death. One character smokes and in a dinner scene someone is offered sake. Older children ready for a more sophisticated animated tale will be mature enough to enjoy this story of a brave young female protagonist.

What's the story?
Chihiro is a sullen 10-year-old girl who wanders into a world ruled by witches and monsters, where humans are changed into animals. When her parents gorge themselves on enchanted food, they turn into pigs and Chihiro must overcome her whiny self in order to enter the spirit world and win them back. To do this, she must appeal to Yubaba, the scary old witch who runs the spirit bath-house. Chihiro is aided by Haku, Yubaba's right hand helper and our heroine's friend.
Is it any good?
This is a thrilling, spectacularly beautiful movie, though it's not for little kids who get scared. Despite the animation similarities, SPIRITED AWAY is not Totoro, the beloved "feel-good" classic, but an edgy portrayal of what a young girl needs to do to grow up and take responsibility for more than herself. She fights Yubaba, she rescues Haku and aids a wounded spirit, triumphing where others do not because she is not sidetracked by greed.
Excellent voice-overs are provided by Davleigh Chase as Chihiro, Jason Marsden as Haku, Suzanne Pleshette as Yubaba, Michael Chiklis as Chihiro's father, Lauren Holly as Chihiro's mother, and John Ratzenberger as the Assistant Manager. John Lasseter of Toy Story fame directed the English voices.

Monarchs Win Eighth Straight
Friday, 04.9.2010 / 8:22 PM PT / Prospects
By Kim Mueller
|J.F. Berube earned his second win for the Monarchs.
Manchester (43-26-3-6) concluded their regular season home schedule in third place in the Atlantic Division with 95 points. Portland (44-23-7-4) remains in second place in the Atlantic Division with 99 points.
"We had good execution in the first period – Bud (Holloway) and Corey (Elkins) executed a perfect 2-on-1," explained Monarchs Head Coach Mark Morris. "We came out flat in the second period, but executed well on the 5-on-3.
"With three players called up to Buffalo, give Portland credit for playing a good game," said Morris.
Skating in a 5-on-3 situation, Martinez scored the game-winning goal at 9:24 of the third period. In a game that featured physical play by both teams, the Monarchs took advantage of Portland penalties to center Travis Turnbull and center Paul Byron. After cycling the puck around the perimeter, center Oscar Moller held it at the top of the right face-off circle as the remaining Monarchs staked claim to open ice. Martinez was positioned at the center point of the blueline when he corralled the Moller pass and fired a slap shot on net that beat Portland goaltender J.P. Lamoureux to put the Monarchs up 4-3 late in the third period.
Center Corey Elkins began the scoring for the Monarchs at 11:05 of the first period. Defenseman David Kolomatis began the odd-man break in the neutral zone, passing the puck up to left wing Bud Holloway, who was skating up the right wing. Entering the Pirates zone on a 2-on-1 breakaway with Elkins, Holloway slid the puck across the slot and underneath a defender's stick. Elkins flicked the puck past Lamoureux to give Manchester the early lead. The goal was Elkins' team-leading 21st of the year.
Center Andrei Loktionov scored his ninth goal of the season for Manchester at 12:41 of the first period. Firmly entrenched in the offensive zone, defenseman Drew Bagnall fired a puck on net that was turned aside by Lamoureux. The rebound fell onto the stick of Moller, who quickly fed the puck to Loktionov on his left side. Lamoureux, who had slid out of position because of Bagnall's blast, easily tucked the puck around the left post for the goal that doubled up Portland 2-0.
Portland scored their first goal of the game at 2:02 of the second period off the stick of defenseman Marc-Andre Gragnani. As right wing Kyle Wanvig entered the offensive zone, Gragnani crept to the front of the net to create traffic and a screen. Wanvig fired a shot on goal from the right wing boards that rode up the stick of a Monarchs defender. With the puck in the air, the crease battle began with Gragnani mixing things up in front of the net. Gragnani ended up forcing the puck through the traffic in front of the net for his 11th tally of the season.
The Pirates evened the score at 2-2 on a goal by center Paul Byron at 3:28 of the second period. Skating up the left wing boards, defenseman Drew Schiestel held the puck and waited for a passing opportunity. With play settling down, Schiestel threaded a pass through the slot that found Byron positioned along the right post. Monarchs netminder J.F. Berube, expecting the shot to be on goal, was slid out of position, creating a wide open net on the right side for Byron to score his 13th goal of the season.
The Monarchs scored the go-ahead goal at 15:59 of the second period as Moller scored his 15th goal of the season. With Manchester firmly entrenched in the offensive zone on a 5-on-3 situation, Kolomatis fired a blast on goal from the point that hit traffic in front. Following a scrum in front of the net, Moller emerged from the puck battle victorious as he forced the puck past Lamoureux. Portland would argue vehemently that the puck was thrown into the net by Moller, but the officials did not side with the Pirates and the go-ahead goal was allowed to stand.
Left wing Brad Larsen scored his 13th goal of the season at 5:08 of the third period to knot the game at 3-3. Left wing Philip Gogulla, positioned at the left point, shuffled a pass to his right that caught the stick of defenseman T.J. Brennan. From the right point, Brennan fired the puck into the crease, where Larsen redirected it past Berube for the tying goal.
Berube (2-0-0) records his second victory in as many games with the Monarchs stopping 18-of-21 shots on net. Lamoureux (13-11-2) drew the loss, stopping 24-of-28 shots.
Manchester went 2-for-6 on the power play. Portland was 1-for-8 with the man advantage.
NOTABLES: The Monarchs extend their season-high win streak to eight games (8-0-0-0)…Manchester gave up their first power play goal to their opponent in their last eight games; they stopped their opponent on 26 consecutive power plays…Center Oscar Moller (15-18=33) has 14 points (6-8=14) in his last 10 games…Defenseman Alec Martinez (7-22=29) has 15 points (3-12=15) in his last 11 games…Goaltender J.F. Berube earned his second professional win with 18 saves.
