So shut up everyone complaining. Anyway good review.
OMFG! That was hillarious!!!They held a gun to Sakurai's head and told him that if he didn't create the best damn game Nintendo has ever seen, they'd be forced to shoot him and his family.
Anyways, Brawl wins....'nuff said.
^Thanks Monsteroids^
After the first three perfect 10 scores, I think this game is going to be the best of the year.

Despite the considerable statewide devastation wrought by June 29's storm - and the oppressive heat - Tucker County hosted a full-hearted celebration of the Fourth of July in Thomas with its annual Mountaineer Days festival.
The celebration, which drew people from a wide birth, was quintessentially Tuckerian - it was a delightful confluence of tradition and eclecticism that took place June 30.
One of the festival's premier events was the annual "Battle of the Barrel," a competition between teams of firefighters that tests their prowess with a fire hose.
Article Photos
The Inter-Mountain Photo by Joe Hoover
Tucker County's Mountaineer Days' 'Battle of the Barrel' contest included 18 teams of volunteer firefighters from departments in West Virginia and Maryland. It was held June 30 in Thomas. Pictured here, a team from Davis, left, battles with a team from Parsons as they both try to blast their way to victory by blowing the barrel to their opponent's side.
For the competition, a barrel is suspended on a long horizontal cable above the ground. The round starts with the barrel positioned in the center of the cable, and then two opposing teams use their high-power hoses to blast the barrel toward their competitor's side; to win, a team must move the barrel all the way to the opposing team's side.
This year, 18 teams from West Virginia and Maryland competed for first place.
Around the battle, crowds of observers - locals and tourists alike - laughed and cheered as the fireman charged forward, hoping to force the barrel over the opposite team's heads.
The sense of festivity was only heightened by the sweltering afternoon heat, as children and adults playfully jostled for a chance to catch a refreshing splash from the fire hoses.
The "Battle of the Barrel" is a perfect example of Tucker County tradition.
Thomas Volunteer Fire Department Chief Joe Dibacco said the battle started 40 years ago, when Thomas challenged Davis to a friendly competition.
"Back then, though, we used the big hoses, and we'd just put a 50-gallon barrel on Main Street," Dibacco said. "We would just have at it and see who won. That was too dangerous though; it's better for everyone with the barrel on the wire."
From its first years, the competition grew to include departments from all around West Virginia and even Maryland.
"People take it really seriously," he said with a laugh.
This year's first- and second-place teams both were from the Gorman Volunteer Fire Department, of Oakland, Md. Apparently, they practice year round, and, most of the time, they win.
The festival also featured fantastic live music, performed in the Miners and Merchants Bank parking lot and the Purple Fiddle.
The performances included everything from rock and country covers to traditional Appalachian music.
Numerous crafters also presented their wares, which ranged from ornate handmade jewelry to home decor and jewelry with an urban-renewal aesthetic that was fashioned from repossessed materials like gift cards and old T-shirts.
One man, Butch Upole, was selling natural-material collages that he painstakingly composed by hand.
His works featured a variety of different naturalistic imagery, from birds resembling golden finches made of dried black-eyed susan petals to detailed log-cabin landscapes built from small twigs, bark and moss.
And, of course, there were lots of fireworks, courtesy of the Thomas Fire Department.
Thomas' streets, parking lots and grassy hills were full of people looking to the sky, waiting for the next explosion of red, blue, green, purple or gold - the only fitting finale for a Fourth of July celebration.

How can a band that openly acknowledges their influence as Slayer be bad? Obviously, it could be, but it certainly isn't here. Having not released an album since 1987, Exumer storms back onto the scene with a killer collection of Thrash that will have fans of everyone from Slayer to Havok moshing around in ecstasy. FIRE & DAMNATION is a seriously punishing thrash album powered by ripping riffs and chord changes that the mighty Slayer would be proud of had they written them themselves.
The Slayer comparisons have always been there with Exumer, and it's no different now. Listening to punishing material like "Walking The Fire" will showcase quickly just why this comparison will always be made for Exumer. Ray Mensh and HK are absolutely crushing guitarists creating riffs that are just monstrous. Songs like "Fallen Saint" have a simply massive guitar sound; raging riffs and a screaming solo that just rips through the wall of metal insanity they are creating throughout. When the guitars aren't center stage, vocalist Mem V. Stein barks out raw lyric after raw lyric. He's definitely an old school barker that knows how to spit aggression with every word he records. He does have a bit of vocal range, as he showcases on the lone oddball of the album, "Crushing Point" (a song that feels more like a Pro-Pain song with its gang vocal chorus). The band is rounded out by Matthias Kassner on drums and T. Schiavo on bass. They lay in a strong enough foundation, although like most material of this style, the bass lines are fairly invisible. Every song is fast, furious, and requires a powerful bottom end that transitions tempos fluidly. Kassner and Schiavo do this very well here.
PITRIFF RATING - 89/100 - Slayer fan here...one that likes bands that take their influence from them. Exumer may have taken 25 years between albums, but they kept their core sound intact upon their return. FIRE & DAMNATION is an almost certain pleaser for fans of Slayer, or any Thrash Metal for that matter. This is simply a crushing, powerful release.

George S. Bernard was a Petersburg lawyer and member of the 12th Virginia Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. Over the course of his life, Bernard wrote extensively about his wartime experiences and collected accounts from other veterans. In 1892, he published War Talks of Confederate Veterans, a collection of firsthand accounts focusing on the battles and campaigns of the 12th Virginia that is widely read to this day. Bernard prepared a second volume but was never able to publish it. After his death in 1912, his papers became scattered or simply lost. But a series of finds, culminating with the discovery of a cache of papers in Roanoke in 2004, have made it possible to reconstruct a complete manuscript of the unpublished second volume.
The resulting book, Civil War Talks, contains speeches, letters, Bernard's wartime diary, and other firsthand accounts of the war not only by veterans of the Confederacy, such as General William Mahone, but by Union veterans as well. Their personal stories cover the major military campaigns in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania--Seven Pines, Malvern Hill, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Petersburg, and Appomattox. For the general reader, this volume offers evocative testimonies focusing on the experiences of individual soldiers. For scholars, it provides convenient access to many accounts that, until now, have not been widely available or have been simply unknown.
The release of a second volume of heretofore unpublished primary sources by Bernard serves both a scholarly and a nonprofessional audience. This superbly edited collection will become an essential volume on Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.
Civil War Talks offers fresh, valuable insights into more than a dozen Civil War engagements provided by common soldiers, high-ranking officers, and civilians. This collection is an extremely valuable addition to the library of primary published Confederate narratives.

Skip to comments.BBC: Missile Got AQ's #3
Posted on 01/31/2008 11:52:08 AM PST by jdm
The BBC reports that "senior Western counterterrorism officials" claim that the missile fired at a safe house in Pakistan two days ago killed Abu Laith al-Libi. Libi has "fallen as a martyr", according to an Islamist website:
US intelligence agencies have been investigating reports that a top al-Qaeda figure was killed in the Afghan-Pakistan border area this week.
It follows a missile attack in Pakistan's North Waziristan area in which 12 militants were reported killed.
While Western counter-terrorism officials told the BBC they believed Libi to be dead, they would not discuss how he was killed.
Some in American circles put the Libyan as #3 in al-Qaeda. He has appeared in AQ videos and internet communications, and in 2002 confirmed that Osama bin Laden had escaped Tora Bora. Abu Laith served as a field commander for AQ as well, crossing the border into Afghanistan to support the Taliban in their insurgent actions.
Seven months ago, the US tried killing al-Libi but hit a school instead. The incident caused a tremendous row with Afghanistan, and had many in the US questioning the conduct of the war there against the Taliban. The US had thought that al-Libi was worth the risk in collateral casualties, but it cost the government of Hamid Karzai support at the time and potentially weakened Kabul against the Taliban.
If they have killed al-Libi, it is a tremendous victory against AQ. It isn't the end of the war by any means, but it will send their networks into disarray, potentially stalling other attacks in Afghanistan and elsewhere and exposing more targets as the network attempts to recover. (via CapQ reader Bob Estes)
In several dozen pieces no doubt.
You nailed it!
"...Libi has "fallen as a martyr"..."
Only after the body parts started downwards on their individual trajectories.
Good shootin' boyz....
OK we now have ID on one of them, wonder who the other 11 were.
If a terrorist falls as a martyr and no one is around to hear him fall, does he still make a sound?
"Only after the body parts started downwards on their individual trajectories."
Excellent mental image! I suspect his fellow travellers not killed by the missle had to clean Libi up with a Squiggy and an eye-dropper.
I hope they caught it on video.
...Libi has "fallen as a martyr"...
He wasn't a martyr, he just assumed room temperature, courtesy of the United States miliatary.
U-S-A! U-S-A! How's that taste Al-qaeda?
Osama at the Pearly Gates
After getting nailed by a Daisy Cutter, Osama made his way to the Pearly Gates. He was met there by George Washington.
"How dare you attack the nation I helped establish!" yelled Washington, smacking Osama in the face.
Patrick Henry came up from behind. "You wanted to end the Americans' liberty, so they gave you death!" said Henry, kicking Osama in the coat-tails.
James Madison approached next and said, "This is why I allowed the Federal government to provide for the common defense!" He dropped a large rock on Osama's foot.
Osama received similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe, George Mason, and 65 other individuals who shared the same love for liberty and for America.
As he writhed on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picked him up and hurled him out of the Gates to where he would be judged.
Awaiting the journey to his final, very hot, destination, Osama screamed, "This is not what I was promised!"
A puzzled St. Peter replied: "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you when you died. What did you think I said?"
Does this mean an opening for a promotion is in place???
#4, are you ready to rumble???
BTW, whats the American Talibans' ranking??? Gahdan is his name if I recall correctly???
I think he should get the promotion...
Good, now let's get #1 and #2 (Osama and Z-Man)
Being the number 3 guy in Al Qaeda is the most dangerous job in the world.
Hopefully, he exploded into a thousand pieces. It would have been allah's will.
When offered a safe house, say thank you and hide in the basement or behind the rocks in the yard but don't stay in the guestroom.
I would say its the work of the REAPER/
Ahhh, it reminds me of a song:
to pieeeces...
Need proof of death.
He's died before... if you know what I mean.
What's the buzz bro?
Hey you! How are ya?
CTS = consider the source (as always)
"Just last week he released a big macho speech and now he is dead"
What a coinky-dink
It is a great day for America and the world with the death of this evil terrorist :)
God bless our brave troops and President Bush.
just a minor addition it says "allah accepts him among the martyrs"
Thanks for the link. These are the times that try men's souls, but I always keep smiling.
I know my terror stuff.
It's blasphemy to pretend to utter Allah's thoughts outside of the Koran.
We should sue Al Qaeda..
It's also forbidden to decorate with pictures of people...but look at their websites.
He blowed up real good?

Ok this one was amusing.
Long time back, we added a line to "postinst" to eject the cdrom, so
that the machine can do the first reboot unsupervised. (and not boot
the jumpstart CD again).
The new machines use sata.
So the eject -f /dev/dsk/c*2 is a bit over-zealous. This would eject
the SATA /a mount as well, so the "last bits not quite yet saved" to
HDD would be lost. Which included my line addition to driver_aliases.

Mediacom Eyes HD Expansion
Mediacom Communications Corp. may have posted a disappointing quarter Tuesday, sending shares below a 52-week low, but the company is still pushing ahead with a plan to enhance its service portfolio, including a hefty expansion of high-definition television (HDTV) content in time for the 2007 holiday season.
Speaking Tuesday morning with reporters and analysts, EVP of operations John Pascarelli said Mediacom's "basic family cable" tier will offer between 30 to 40 hi-def channels for the added cost of the new set-top.
"We expect to announce the first phase of the new HD channels in the next 30 days," he said. With that being the first phase, I guess we can expect subsequent phases, which will be required to keep up with the beefy hi-def lineups DirecTV Group Inc. (NYSE: DTV - message board) and EchoStar Communications Corp. are flaunting.
In other strategy-related moves, Mediacom -- which has much more DSL than fiber-to-the-home competition to contend with since Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE: Q - message board) is its primary telco competitor -- also plans to offer its low-end cable modem service (likely its 512-kbit/s tier) across the board, and couple that with a "fixed, long-term pricing strategy."
Mediacom is also teeing up a commercial voice product slated to launch in the first half of 2008.
While Mediacom used its earnings call to outline some new strategies, quite the opposite happened during Insight Communications Co. Inc. 's later in the day.
Insight, which turned in a solid quarter, offered nothing new about its prospects for a sale (and no analysts even brought it up in the Q&A session), which all but confirms that the MSO is off the block for now... or at least until sometime after it wraps up its system deal with Comcast Corp. (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) later this year. (See Insight-ful Questions Expected Tuesday.)

This is huge news, considering that this would be the first time in history that someone we have personally partied with and know, is responsible for making such a huge impact in gaming. We hope Hiphop gets a cut from all those PS3 MK9 titles, this is one of the greatest ideas in gaming history.

August 8, 1997:
I have a soft mesh and I am trying to adjust the strings so that the ball goes off the strings rather than the plastic. Any ideas?
Your shooting strings are too loose. A soft mesh is very flexible and needs a "staircase" of shooting strings for the ball to climb smoothly out of the pocket on throws and shots. Usually three or more shooting strings are required with soft mesh unless you play with a very shallow pocket.
The key is to adjust the top one first. Pull it pretty tight and tie it off. You can change it a bit later, if need be. The top shooting string can be the one that came with the stick or one you weave in between the original and the plastic rim. Once you have the top string tied off. Gradually adjust the tightness of existing shooting strings and weave in new ones at even lengths from each other so that a "staircase is built. Fat shoestrings and sections of string from old discarded sticks make perfect shooting strings. The path should actually be smoother than stairs, but I think the analogy works. The staircase is finished when the bottom shooting string is close enough to the deepest point of the pocket that the flow of the ball doesn't hit a severe "first step" as it is rolled out.
5 shooting strings.
Tie and wrap shooting strings wherever
you can. Some heads don't have
enough holes so share.
An uneven step at any point in the pocket will cause varying "whips" in your throw. A little resistance by a shooting string on the way out of the stick is normal, as long as it doesn't make your throws go lower causing you to pull back and slow your shot potential. A balance has to be reached between control while ball handling and accuracy/speed of throws.
Now throw against a wall and adjust the shooting strings one at a time until the throw is comfortable and accurate. Be sure to try all speeds of throws and shots. The ball may start hitting the plastic again on harder shots. Tighten them all a bit more until your hardest shot is all string. Remember, at this point especially, you always have the side strings to help you adjust overall pocket depth.
Doubling the top strings is a little trick to help avoid hitting plastic.

Go Haven and Brandon! Go Lynn and Logan!
Rachael Flatt is now in envelop C. Czisny is in B.
Two times U.S. Champion (2009 and 2011), and current Silver medalist. 2012 Envelop B.Who?
Outside of the US, few know about Marley/Brubaker, or Hubbell/Donohue. Nor are they US champions. Both teams in envelop A.But seriously, it's hard to get level A. You must be top ten at worlds, medal at GP final, win Four Continents, or win U.S. Nationals.
Yet!Outside of the US, few know about Marley/Brubaker, or Hubbell/Donohue.
I guess the USFSA is more interested in where you're going than in where you've been.
The pairs situation is kind of unique, though. Only a few countries have a pairs team to send to Worlds at all, so "top ten," while an achievement to be proud of, is actually quite a ways down the list.
As for Hubbell and Donahue, I think they have a chance of overtaking Shibutani and Shibutabi for #2 in the U.S.
Anyway, what can you do? You set the bar, then see who can jump over it.

Cesario is actually eligible for one more season of JGP since her birthday is in August. She will turn 19 after the July 1st cutoff this summer, so she can do JGP if she wants to. That being said, she deferred admission to Fashion Institute of Technology this year, so if she wants to attend, she would be starting this fall, otherwise she would have to reapply to colleges at a later date. So idk what her competitive plans are but that may make a difference.
Also, Christina is starting Harvard this fall. Where she has funding, I assume she will continue competing, though of course she might retire if she wants to focus on school, but even if she does compete, she might not want to travel internationally to do so. She has a bye to the 2012 Nationals, so perhaps she would take the fall to become adjusted to Harvard and her new training situation and then make Nationals her first event of the season.
Anyways, with the new reduced spots, I'm not sure any of the 1 event guaranteed skaters are really a "shoe-in" for 2, particularly Agnes and Mirai who did not have great international seasons. Alissa after all her meltdowns might not get 2 either, but odds are probably better because she does have a high WS and SB, and Gracie can probably get 2, but nothing is certain. Ashley is the only US lady that is certain of getting 2 GPs.

With a stroke of a pen, Gov. Bobby Jindal has given New Orleans officials a bigger hammer to enforce city regulations. He signed a bill authored by state Rep. Helena Moreno, D-New Orleans, to let fines for second offenses double from $500 to $1,000.
The higher fine limit, which cannot be used on traffic violations or parking tickets, goes into effect Aug. 1.
Before House Bill 789 became Act 637, city officials could not exact fines greater than $500 for each offense, an amount they said let repeat offenders of city code and quality of life violations with deep pockets continue to just pay rather than change their behavior.
Moreno's original bill called for increasing the cap to $5,000, but an amendment in the House Committee on Municipal, Parochial and Cultural Affairs lowered that limit to $1,000. Moreno attributed that compromise Tuesday (June 17) to an arrangement between French Quarter residents and business groups.
It passed both houses without opposition.
The higher fines are likely to be used against perpetually blighted properties, littering or to enforce New Orleans controversial noise laws.

Steven Gutheinz is a composer of music for film, TV, commercials, games and the concert stage who currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He is a graduate of Rice University, the University of Southern California, Aspen Music School, and the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop.
Steven has composed music for several award winning projects including the controversial feature film "Grimm Love" (aka "Rohtenburg") and the highly acclaimed short film "Wraith of Cobble Hill," which won the Jury Prize in Short Filmmaking at Sundance. He has scored feature films for Sony Screen Gems, Icon Productions and MGM. His music can also be heard in the trailer and opening theme for Discovery's "Frozen Planet."
In addition to film and TV, Steven has written music for several high profile commercials including a series of spots for Pantene, DeVry/Keller University, Kellogg's, Tylenol, Audi and Avon. He has also written music for the critically acclaimed independent game "NyxQuest," the Kansas City Chamber Orchestra and The Texas Voices.
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Tap-Repeatedly
"..the music is so good it enriches the experience by a considerable margin. Without it, Icarian would still be a competent platforming game with awesome use of motion controls, but with it Icarian is a thing of mythical beauty, a game that touches your spirit in ways that few games manage to."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Clash Entertainment
"The moody music orchestrates some interesting string instruments. I am not an expert on this kind of music, but it shines through on this game. In fact others here at Family Friendly Gaming would walk by and the music caught their ear. They wanted to know what I was playing, and what the music was all about. This is a neat aspect of this game that sets it apart from other franchises."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Nintendo World Report
"The music is haunting and gorgeous. The themes are similar but offer subtle differences based on context. They invoke ancient Greece wonderfully."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Eminence Online
"Gutheinz opens with "Icarian," which features a playful piano melody that fades in and out of the foreground along with occasional string swells. It's a really playful track despite the very mature sound. The samples used sound wonderfully, and sound beUer than even most of the retail disc-‐based games on the Wii. It's a great opener that really captures the essence of Nyx.
Next, "Helios" is the longest track here, coming in at 4:33. It sports these steady string stabs and a lovely ethnic stringed instrument that glides along, slowly building upwards. This track is titled so perfectly, as this one more than any other alludes to the imagery of the Sun. There are ups and downs in the track, where it fades out into near silence, but it always comes back up and captures your attention with its bursts of activity.
Next up, the piano returns for "Kindred Spirits," creating a lovely melody to match the emotional string swells and filtered and distorted vocal snippets that give the piece a lively quality. Then it's on to "The Sun" I mentioned that "Helios" sounds awfully Sun-‐like, but while "Helios" may represent the majesty of our giant star in the sky, "The Sun" represents its darker side, sounding like scorched Earth under its piercing rays of sound. It's definitely an ominous track that leads to the most intense piece here, "Hydra." While "Hydra" isn't bombas=c by any stretch of the imagina=on, the layered bongos, rich string swells and stabs, and faster tempo will definitely bring your attention back to the score with its energy.
The last track is another louder piece, which is appropriate given that it's the trailer music for the game. "Nyx" features angelic choral voices, inviting strings, and an upbeat melody to draw you into the game. It slowly builds in intensity with percussion, and leaves you with a strong moment to remember."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at meristation.com
"Usando instrumentos llenos de vida como el arpa, el duduk y el santur, se inspiró en las raíces indoeuropeas de la antigua Grecia. Habrá partes musicales inquietantemente tranquilas que amenizarán la resolución de los distintos puzzles y zonas en las que tendremos que correr sin perder el aliento, mientras crece la intensidad de la banda sonora. Al terminar el juego e incluso si lo volvemos a jugar, no tendremos la sensación de haber escuchado siempre la misma melodía, ya que la banda sonora es bastante amplia."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Gamespot . com
"The music is also incredible; the tranquil plucking sounds of a harp, as well as the ancient sounds of such instruments as the santur or duduk, make you feel as if you're in another land. The melodies fit perfectly with what is unfolding onscreen, and the music is good enough to listen to on its own."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Blast Magazine . com
"The music is also very fitting and improves the experience–it reminds me of the music from the Diablo series, in that it blends in with the background and then storms out at certain points just to remind you how good it sounds."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Nintendo Life
"The music is quite decent too; all of the songs have the ancient Greece vibe which naturally fits all the various structures found around the levels perfectly."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Original Sound Version . com
"The music perfectly reflects almost every action on the screen with a sense of longing, a chilling feeling of loneliness and searching; it all makes sense once you actually combine the game and the music. In times of immediate danger, the music will quickly change to a faster paced drum-driven melody, perfectly shifting the mood from searching to combat and survival. The audio in NyxQuest might be its best part, as it is a perfect example of a soundtrack backing up the gameplay, and not just being either static background music to fill space or music that takes over the overall soundscape completely. On its own, it might not be groundbreaking, but in the game, it is breathtaking."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Pwnmen
"The music however was fanstastic, with an original soundtrack vaguely reminiscent of Diablo 2's town music."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Pixlbit
"Adding to that is the music, which is usually peaceful and fits with the game's slower pace. It ramps up as the action does, and really adds to the mood and setting."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Pixeldojo . com
"Musically, NyxQuest takes a very ambient approach, peppering the game with short waves of just-there music that soon fades away. When intense action sequences are reached, the soundtrack sheds its ambient leanings and rises to the occasion with swelling stretches of exciting beats. Overall, the soundscape is heavily Middle Eastern in its style and definitely fits NyxQuest's defining images of never-ending deserts."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Anait Games . com
"Estéticamente hablando, es uno de los juegos más inteligentes que he visto en mucho tiempo.. Parte de la culpa de todo esto la tiene su magnífica banda sonora, obra de Steven Gutheinz. Tampoco son demasiadas pistas, pero están las que tienen que estar."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Wonderallweb
"Also worth a mention is the musical track, many small games tend to fall flat at this stage but on this occasion Over the Top Games have nailed it with a beautiful tune that will alter at certain times of the game."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at C3 Reviews
"The music composed by Steven Gutheinz masterfully embellishes the game's unique atmosphere."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at TIG Tunes
"The soundtrack was composed by Steven Gutheinz (also did the music for the movie Infestation) and was done for the WiiWare and Steam game NyxQuest. It has a very dynamic and movie soundtrack feel to it, showing the talent that Steven Gutheinz has. Most of the album is very soft, soothing music, but then it starts getting a little more bombastic around Helios. The OST is a little on the short side, but supposedly there was only supposed to be 5 minutes of music used in the game originally. It's worth the listen if you enjoy movie-like scores in your game OSTs. My favorite tracks are Helios and Hydra."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Vandal.net
"Por otra parte, la excelente banda sonora de Steven Gutheinz es un elemento ciertamente muy destacable dentro del conjunto, tanto por su calidad compositiva como por la adecuación de su instrumentación, fundamentada en el uso de instrumentos antiguos indo-europeos, como el harpa, el santur o el duduk, presuntamente de uso común en las épocas circundantes al imperio helénico. Una banda sonora que acompañará, la mayor parte del tiempo, relajadamente a nuestro deambular por los escenarios del juego, aunque en las batallas contra enemigos de mayor envergadura la misma alcance momentos de mayor tensión, yendo de manera acompasado, en resumen, con las vivencias del jugador dentro del título."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at The True Mirror
"All in all the music fits the visual style brilliantly and carries the game along nicely."
Review of "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" at Blogocio . net
"La música es puro amor"
Review of "Infestation" at 411 Mania
"So what do we have here? A pretty nifty opening titles sequence with an actual theme song that sounds like a theme song."
Review of "Deadly Impact" at Movie Room Reviews
"..Deadly Impact is an action thriller, and it delivers, aided by the exciting music of Steve Gutheinz."
Review of "Deadly Impact" at The Entertainment Corner
"The music and special effects all mesh flawlessly with the movie."
Review of "Grimm Love" at fiveleggediguana
"With haunting music by Steven Gutheinz.."
Review of "Glass House: The Good Mother" at Bums Corner/HK and Cult Film News
"Steven Gutheinz' evocative musical score adds to the mood as well."
Review of "Songs of Travel" in the Kansas City Star:
Chamber Orchestra Goes Exploring: Paradise Explored, the Kansas City Chamber Orchestra's spring program, took in uncharted musical territory with the world premiere of the gifted young film composer Steven Gutheinz's Songs of Travel.
Set to the text of a series of poems by Robert Louis Stevenson, Gutheinz's quintet of sweeping melodies captured a sense of adventure and yearning for what lies just beyond the horizon. Under the sensitive direction of conductor Bruce Sorrell, and with the able assistance of mezzo-soprano soloist Debra Scroggins Sowerwine, Gutheinz's work was brought to vibrant life.
From the majestic opening of "Once Only by the Garden Gate," through the melancholy longing of "Snow and Roses" and finally to the burnished horns of "The Vagabond," Gutheinz's composition did not disappoint.
The composer's flowing themes and recurring musical motifs evoked a cinematic fluidity in structure. But there was also a solid sense of theatricality and emotion in the brightly melodic work that made it accessible without being condescending.
mp3x magazine review of "The Crossing"
The Crossing is either a short version of a full symphonic work, or screaming out to be the closing scene to a film. Either way, it doesn't stop you enjoying a very beautiful piece of music. The opening is very much a proud procession of power and glory, which all of a sudden pulls away into a soft beautiful melody, lead by the oboe and balanced by the cellos.
This is an extremely well balanced piece of orchestral writing and the composer manages to utilize his orchestra in so many ways to create the stunning sound that you hear. If this was a part of a larger orchestral work, then there is plenty of material here to develop, as well as the very well written classical brass parts.
Review of "Cracking Shadows" from Gods of Music
Steven Gutheinz is one of the most promising young film composers on the scene today. Combining flawless technique, existential beauty, quirky dementia, and fabulous chops, Steven creates music that is funny, sad, insane, etc ,etc. His ability to capture human emotion is almost unmatched in the sea of today's formulaic, paper cutout film scores.
Gutheinz, unlike most film composers, prefers the sound of small chamber ensembles as opposed to full orchestra. These small ensembles (piano trio seems to be his chosen "core" ensemble), give his scores an intimacy not often heard in film. His piece "Cracking Shadows", written for the film of the same name, is one of these pieces. Scored for cello and piano only, the soaring, lush music invokes the longing, sorrowful spirit of Brahms. However, this piece is not to be confused with the current trend of neo-romantic works that are mere pastiche. This music is all Gutheinz.
This track has all of those things. This is well composed film-styled classical music which manages to sound familiar without being derivative; in a matter of just over two minutes it goes from a powerful driving climactic sequence to a more sedate, stately section. It then ends with a minor flourish. BAM! Thanks for the memories.
As a stand-alone piece, it's a little disjunct; it doesn't really say much, and it's over before you get a chance to identify with it. But I get the feeling that this is an excerpt of a larger piece, perhaps a calling card or "audio resume" of sorts. Even so, it stands out as a strong piece of what I imagine is a consistent body of work.
Nice. Very nice.
Review of "With or Without Your" from Gods of Music
"With or Without You" is a very well done piece that brings out a lot of imagery and atmospheres through the music. It is a very slow moving work, but nonetheless keeps the listener interested through subtle changes in the music. Overall very well put together.
The three voices it's scored for; soprano, piano, and flute blends together very well. Maybe too well. It being film music, it is supposed to stay in the background, thus there's no real memorable theme or lines that comes with it. But then again maybe it's not supposed to. When reviewing these types of works I always have trouble wether or not to treat them as they were intended or as a piece that should be able to stand on its own.
As a classical work it could have some trouble finding performances, especially since the parts are way easy and consists of mostly loooong held notes (footballs, as film performers like to call them) that would bore most players. But this doesn't stem from lack of skill, since a lot of his other works can get quite complex. (I enjoyed listening to a lot of his faster works, like "The Night Ferris Bueller Died" and "Red, Fast, and Furious") So a 10 minus a little bit should be a fair compromise maybe?
As a film music score "With or Without You" is excellent in every way. If you're looking for a mellow and atmospheric track, or if you like film music in general look no further. I wouldn't stop at just this track, his website is an impressive collection of very well done film scores.
Review from "Riffage"
"A USC alumnus, Steven Gutheinz is at the forefront of a new generation of film composers. While trying to maintain the film scoring tradition of the past, Steven puts out incredibly vivid, colorful and inspiring works. His scores range from being cool and distant to tense and powerful, but either way they showcase his utter mastery of orchestration. Highest recommendations to fans of symphonic and chamber music."
Review from Asheron's Call Dev Soundtrack
"Review of "Cracking Shadows" - This is my personal and unofficial theme song for writing Jarilyn, a character who lost her daughter to the Shadows in my latest story for the Zone. I can't listen to this without getting sniffly and misty-eyed. It's so sweet, beautiful, and sad... Steven Gutheinz is GOOD."
Review of "Tristesse" - The first time I heard this, I got the image of a beautiful and sad young woman staring out a rain-streaked window, at a world gone grey. As it turns out, that's exactly what the movie Tristesse is about. Steven Gutheinz is REALLY good. I mean Thomas Newman (Little Women, How To Make An American Quilt) good. I actually don't know if he likes Newman's scores... but I do.
Review from "Going Places" 30 minute radio
Review of "With or Without You" - Steven Gutheinz is a young film composer working in Hollywood. There seem to be two kinds of composers for film these days; composers that really work as a "sound designer" (making lots of perfectly useful in-studio "atmospherics"), and those whose vison is in notes on paper played by real performers. I'm afraid that currently the former is overtaking the latter, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Gutheinz is proof of that, with sensitive writing that works just as well outside the film as in it. "With or Without You" is an excellent example: rather than tell you what the film this music came from was about, the first time through just LISTEN. The emotion is direct from the beginning (almost TOO so, we think); but what happens is an absolutely wonderful example of constantly delayed resolution, subverted expectation, and melodic ritual. A bit like you sped up some Morton Feldman and clothed it in a seemingly more goal-directed progression, but kept the transcendental spirit intact. If this (as the composer says) was his first film score, he's going to do O.K....
Review from "Pigeonholes Aside," an Internet music review station
Review of "Tristesse" - Described as being in the vanguard of the next generation of Hollywood film composers, Steve Gutheinz's music is something that today's movie going audiences can be very grateful for. Gone are the days where in old films film score was simply about a few bells and whistles here and there to go with the movements on screen. Of course, film score is just that, something to under-score- the action on screen. But it is perhaps thanks to the hunger of modern audiences for film music that can't be broken down to a formula, that we have score that is both functional and inspiring. Not surprisingly, it's this type of music that the audience takes away from the theatre with them, that they can listen to outside of the context of the film, and still be inspired. It's perhaps an emotive, crowd-pleasing theory, but hey, why shouldn't the crowd be pleased? At the end of the day, film is very much more than just light shining up on a canvass in a dark room. In today's world film and television are what people (like it or not) are using to make meaning of the world, and if music like this is inspiring people in their day to day lives, the future's looking pretty nice. Enjoy this beautiful yet intelligent track, and don't hesitate to check out his other pieces, all are equally inspiring.

Ulcerative Colitis Health Center
Olive Oil May Protect Against Ulcerative Colitis
May 5, 2010 -- Two or three tablespoons a day of olive oil may help protect against ulcerative colitis, preliminary research suggests.
In a new study, people with the highest consumption of oleic acid -- a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid found in olive oil, peanut oil, and grapeseed oil, as well as in butter and certain margarines -- had an almost a 90% reduced risk of the inflammatory bowel disease, compared with those with the lowest intake.
"About half of the cases of ulcerative colitis could have been prevented if people consumed larger amounts of oleic acid -- 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil or the equivalent," says Andrew Hart, MD, of the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England.
Still, the findings need to be replicated before any definitive conclusions can be made, he tells WebMD.
Even if they do pan out, "we have to make sure that a diet high in oleic acid is not just linked to some other factor that is protective against ulcerative colitis," Hart says.
The findings were presented at Digestive Disease Week 2010 in New Orleans.
During bouts of ulcerative colitis, the large intestines become inflamed, causing diarrhea and discomfort.
"Oleic acids may dampen down inflammation in the bowel ... by blocking chemicals that stimulate inflammation," Hart says.
The new study involved 25,639 people ages 40 to 74 participating in the EPIC-Norfolk (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer) trial.
Tracking Diet in a Food Diary
When participants entered the study between 1993 and 1997, they completed a detailed seven-day food diary in which they were asked to record everything they ate and how much they ate of each item. Pictures helped them gauge portion size, and specially trained nutritionists helped interpret the findings, Hart says.
Then, software containing information on the nutrient content of more than 9,000 food items was used to calculate each person's intake of oleic acid and other fatty acids.
Over an average period of about four years, 22 people developed ulcerative colitis. For each person with colitis, four people of the same age and sex without the disorder were chosen for comparison.

Learning Objectives: Attendees will be able to incorporate the concept, suggested guidelines and recommendations of this pilot project for implementation of a sports initiative at the community level.
Abstract: Objective of Program: A collaborative effort between the Division of Health Awareness and Florida State University (FSU) Women's Soccer program to develop and implement a community service pilot project, Soccer Kickin' Butts! that provides tobacco prevention education to youth.
METHODS: Methods used include assessing the needs for the FSU Women's Soccer program and the community being served, identifying an appropriate tobacco prevention education program for implementation, training FSU Women's Soccer team, coordinating and providing presentations to schools, and collaborating with the tobacco prevention coordinator and the community partnership for a culminating event.
RESULTS: The results of the Soccer Kickin' Butts pilot project allowed the FSU Women's Soccer program to develop and implement an ongoing community service program. Additional benefits are that players develop public speaking skills and act as role models in the community while raising awareness about tobacco use and its affects on athletic performance. At the end of the spring soccer season, a SmokeFree Soccer Night, was coordinated with the FSU Women's Soccer, the tobacco prevention coordinator and local partnership, as well as, SWAT youth to acknowledge efforts in the community and to raise critical awareness towards tobacco.
Discussion: The discussion entails comments on this pilot project as an opportunity to implement a sport initiative, its level of impact and provide guidelines on how to implement this type of project, along with recommendations. Accomplishments and shortfalls shall be elaborated on, as well as, improvements made to the project. Current data and future status of the project will also be addressed.

I have had this tent for over 10 years, and used it on many camping adventures with no complaints.
I only wish I could have gotten it for the price they have it listed at now. If memory serves me, I believe over $400 was paid back in the day. Still worth every penny and times we've had...priceless.

I guess I offended someone with the photos I posted of a sword through my girlfriends leg. I did not mean to offend anyone. I understand the fact that this is a family site. But since that night our kids do not mess or play with anything sharp. I posted them to show the dangers and results of being careless. Didn't mean for it to be offensive. I am trully sorry.

Buenos Aires, Argentina Attractions
One of the most beautiful buildings in Buenos Aires, the CirculoMilitar was built as the mansion of the Paz family, one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the country. Reminiscent of Versailles, the ornate interior of the palace is a wonderful place for visitors to wander throughout.
Also referred to as the Palacio Paz or Palacio Retiro, the building is officially called the CirculoMilitar, which is named for the society of retired military officers who bought the building in 1938 when the Depression made the building impossible to maintain.

Jake Gyllenhaal Delivers The Dramedy in 'Demolition': A Movie Review
There has been a lot of death in my life lately. Family members have moved on. One of the things I always struggle with is how to grieve and how to assist those who are grieving. That conundrum is at the crux of the new dramedy Demolition. Written by Brian Sipe, directed by Jean Marc-Vallee (Wild, Dallas Buyers Club) and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Naomi Watts, Demolition brings destruction to the pain of losing a loved one.
Jake Gyllenhaal's Davis, an uber-successful stock market manager, loses his wife in a tragic car accident in the beginning of the film. That's not a spoiler, but it sets up the rest of the film as Davis struggles to process her death and his life in the wake of it. He pens a letter to a vending machine company when, while at the hospital finding out his wife has died, he is unable to get some M&M candy out of a machine. That letter leads to others and opens up a relationship with Karen (the increasingly quirky Watts) and her troubled son and boyfriend. All the while, Davis can't curry favor with his wife's father who is also his boss, Phil (the usually solid Chris Cooper of American Beauty). How does one deal with the unraveling of his life in the event of great loss?
In Davis' case, he seeks to blow it all up, hence the title of the film. While secrets are revealed and the drama unfolds, tension must be released and there are a number of laughs to be found in Davis' sadness. It's hard to quantify if he takes things too far, that's why I questioned the premise of how to deal with grief. There is no right or wrong answer and in the confines of the film you can see elements of Crazy Stupid Love crossed with something like American Beauty. While both of those films are good to great in their own right, Demolition never quite reaches those heights.
Gylenhaal is always good and he carries the film, though Watts' character and their interaction is a bit hard to figure. Marc-Vallee attempts a tricky tightrope that he is pretty successful with but its probably a bit too challenging to pull off in the end with all of the quirk and criss crossing of storylines. The payoff is strong, the film entertaining, but I'm not sure it reaches the loftiest of goals. Not all loose ends are tied up and maybe there is a bit too much going on when we want to focus on the protagonist. Again, when dealing with grief, is it best to accept that demolishing one's life in Davis' case is entirely feasible? Perhaps. Still, as an entertainment and thought provoking piece it falls a bit short of greatness. Take that as you will.

Klezmer Company Orchestra and
Klezkatz Turn Up the Heat for 'JudeoJazzistico'
Concert on March 7 at FAU
Concert is Main Event for Six-Day Kultur Festival, Celebration of Jewish Music and Arts
BOCA RATON, FL (February 9, 2010) –
will be presented by the innovative, international award-winning
Klezmer Company Orchestra (KCO), under the direction of music
director and accordionist Aaron Kula, on Sunday, March 7, at 3 p.m.
at the Carole and Barry Kaye Performing Arts Auditorium in the
Student Union, on Florida Atlantic University's Boca Raton
The concert's music features rich orchestrations of colorful melodies and dynamic rhythms perfected by the critically-acclaimed KCO, FAU Libraries' professional ensemble-in-residence. Kula, director of music collections and performance at FAU Libraries, spent eight months selecting centuries-old music from the print music archives and composing new arrangements for the 25-piece orchestra and the Klezkatz vocal trio.
"I am fortunate to be given the awesome responsibility and opportunity to transform vintage Klezmer melodies into new songs for a multicultrual generation," said Kula. "The FAU Libraries print music collection has one of the richest holdings in the country, and we want to share it with the world."
"JudeoJazzistico" is the main event for "Kultur Festival 2010, a six-day celebration of Jewish music and arts hosted by FAU Libraries. The concert is the 13 th annual benefit KCO has held for the library, and it draws its inspiration from Latin and Spanish dance melodies and rhythms. The concert blends Ladino, Hispanic and European music with dance rhythms from the Americas.
"The music on the "JudeoJazzistico" concert is global; however, there is no need for a passport as all you need are ears to be transported," said Kula.
The concert will include 15 newly composed pieces and additional favorites from the KCO music folio. One of the new songs, "Malagueña a la Freylach," is a fusion song that incorporates three editions of the well known Spanish melody "Malagueña" and a traditional Klezmer melody titled "Der Heyser Bulgar." Another selection fusing Latin and Jewish musical culures is "Klezmerengue," a hot and fiesty big band dance number.
The compositions are intense and difficult to play and require both virtuosic playing and skilled improvisations from the KCO ensemble, Kula said.
A highlight of the concert will be the debut of the Klezkatz vocal trio featuring Georgene Barger, Elena Corriea and Cherill Rae, who will sing in Ladino, Spanish, English, Hebrew and Yiddish. "I am excited to perform with this professional vocal trio as they add personality and panache to the KCO sound," said Kula. "The vocalists are multi-talented and can sing in a variety of musical styles from ballads to swing."
Since Kula founded KCO in 1997, the professional ensemble-in-residence has successfully taken music in the library's collections from shelf to stage. The ensemble hit a milestone in 2008 when Beyond the Tribes, its independently produced CD, landed two international awards.
A cross-section of materials from the library's special collections is incorporated throughout the festival in lectures, concerts, film and book arts. Dr. William Miller, dean of Libraries at FAU, said he is pleased that the music in the library's Special Collections and Archives has evolved from the shelf to stage to a second annual festival. "It is gratifying to have our collections brought to life in this way," said Miller.
Kultur Festival 2010 is sponsored by FAU Libraries with additional support from the Jewish Cultural Society at FAU, the Nathan and Marion Crosby Holocaust and Judaic Library Collections Endowment Fund, WXEL, and the South Florida Association of Jewish Libraries. Proceeds benefit FAU Libraries.

With six starters who played for state championships on Saturday, Tri-Cape burst to an 11-1 lead over Olympic Colonial in the first four innings of Monday's Carpenter Cup Classic baseball game.
Then Tri-Cape really started hitting.
"It gets contagious," said Salem junior first baseman Troy Sieber, who entered the game in fifth inning and went 3 for 3 with three doubles in Tri-Cape's 18-3 victory at Ashburn Field in FDR Park.
Tri-Cape's second-stringers rapped six extra-base hits, while its relief pitchers shut down Olympic Colonial as Buena coach George West's team advanced to face Suburban One American/Continental in the second round on Thursday.

NASCAR engine builder Ray Fox dies at 98
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee Ray Fox, a premier engine builder and top mechanic in the 1950s and '60s, has died. He was 98.
Fox died Sunday at Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona, where he'd been admitted with pneumonia. NASCAR and officials at Daytona International Speedway confirmed his death.
Among the drivers Fox fielded cars for were Junior Johnson, David Pearson and Buck Baker.
NASCAR said Fox was credited with 14 victories as a car owner, but was the engine builder and mechanic for many major wins.
Fox won the 1960 Daytona 500 with Johnson, and the Coca-Cola 600 in 1961 with Pearson.
NASCAR said in a statement that Fox, of Daytona Beach, served as an ambassador for the series in the community.

You saw it at Mix—in typical fashion, our mission was to build two Jellybean robots in three weeks for the Mix keynote; no pressure, right?—and now it's time to introduce Project Jellybean on Coding4Fun. So, here it is—the Kinect drivable lounge chair! The lounge chair has Omni-directional wheels, eight batteries, two motor controllers, and a frame made of extruded aluminum.
Jellybean exists as a proof-of-concept of what crazy things are possible when utilizing the Kinect for Windows SDK, and the project also leverages the Coding4Fun Kinect Toolkit in order to handle some of the more complex operations.
Before we get into the code, let me point out, THIS WILL WORK WITHOUT THE ROBOT. There is an application setting called IsMotorEnabled, and with this setting set to false, you can play with the user interface and see how we did all our Kinect-enabled goodness. The screenshot at the bottom is of me testing this puppy at my desk without any of the motors or relays connected.

Oops, something didn't work.
Kinect Ad in disguise . Shady indeed.
Not a very good ad/demo either. The control is iffy, sort of unstable, it looks like. Responsiveness is bad too, like the ms surface table demo: Press drag a window, lag, lag, lag.
I wouldnt put one in my car, that's for sure.
Guy walks infront of the car, i do the stop sign, lag, lag, lag, car finally stops, the guy is road killed a few meter behind the car.
No offense but kinect kind of looks like crappy hardware in the demo.

JAPAN'S health minister has provoked a storm of protest after he described women as "birth-giving machines" in a speech he gave on the country's falling birthrate.
Hakuo Yanagisawa made the remarks in a speech he gave on Saturday as the government announced a council to draw up new strategies to tackle the country's shrinking population.
Japan's population of 127 million fell for the first time on record in 2005, mostly because of a drop in births.
The decline has raised the prospect of severe labour shortages in the future, coupled with difficulties in paying health bills and pensions for large numbers of elderly.
In the speech, Mr Yanagisawa, the health, labour and welfare minister, said: "The number of women between the ages of 15 and 50 is fixed.
"The number of birth-giving machines [and] devices is fixed, so all we can ask is that they do their best per head."
He reportedly apologised even as he made the remarks and later further backtracked, admitting that the language he had used was "too uncivil". However the Democratic Party leader, Yukio Hatoyama, was unmoved by his expression of regret.
"It was extremely rude to women," he said.
"Having children or not having children is naturally a matter that women and households are free [to decide themselves]," Mr Hatoyama said.
The Japanese birthrate was 1.26 babies per woman in her lifetime in 2005, a record low figure.
Shinzo Abe, the prime minister, has said his government wants to develop measures to encourage more couples to have children.
A proposal adopted in June calls for increasing child care, promoting greater gender equality, and encouraging companies to be more flexible in allowing staff time to take care of family responsibilities. But the high cost of raising children - as well as the lingering notion that women should give up their jobs after giving birth - has meant many opt to have fewer or no children.
The strategy council, to be chaired by the chief cabinet secretary, Yasuhisa Shiozaki, will hold its first meeting early next month.
It plans to focus on issues such as employment patterns and resources available to families with children, the Asahi and the Nikkei newspapers reported yesterday.
The council will be comprised of bureaucrats and experts in various fields and is expected to present an interim report to the government in mid-June, and a basic strategy plan later in the year.
Cabinet office officials could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Dr. Norman Deane, Associate Professor of Medicine at the New York Medical College, states in the introduction to his book that he plans to answer some of the questions he has received from medical students, house officers, and physicians concerning water and electrolyte disorders. With this idea in mind the author has been most successful in presenting a concise, well-organized, and highly practical discussion of the most frequent derangements of fluid and electrolyte metabolism.
Introducing each subject with an actual case history, the author proceeds to discuss sodium depletion, dehydration, and acidosis. Further, he gives practical suggestions for calculating deficits using accepted formulas that should prove helpful to the intern facing decisions in critically ill patients.

Adventures wanted: Mom and I are hitting the road Wednesday afternoon to travel the first leg of our trip to Kelowna for the opening of the Western Conference final. But first, a few belated thoughts on the series with the Victoria Royals.
Royal flush: I was pretty much done with the Royals during the first two home games when they tried to block the Winterhawks from skating out to the opening lineup. I was officially done when they tried it again last Thursday night. But I've also lived long enough to know that what goes around, comes around. And so it did, as the Royals packed their bags for home and the Winterhawks punched their ticket to a fourth consecutive Western Conference final.
You talkin' to me?: Collectively, both teams acquired a total of 151 penalty minutes in Game 5, most of which were on Victoria (88). But the Winterhawks didn't take it lying down, taking 63 of their own penalty minutes. When I spoke to Chase De Leo after the game about the fights and all-around physical game, he noted that "I thought we defended ourselves well and played our game." What other choice did they have but to defend themselves with players like Brandon Magee attempting to distract them and downright injure one of the team's top forwards? Fighting fire with fire is ugly, but in games like Game 5, it's necessary. I'm glad the boys didn't take any crap, and I'm glad they've faced some adversity heading into the Western Conference final. It will serve them well in the long run. The road ahead holds what Chase predicts will be a less chippy and more equally matched series with the Kelowna Rockets. I quite agree. Speaking of cutting to the chase:
We like him. We really, really like him: The final NHL Central Scouting rankings are out and Chase's final ranking among North American skaters is 36. When I asked him "if you had a choice, which team would you like to be drafted by?" He just hopes it's a team that likes him and wants him. It's hard to imagine any team not liking or wanting Chase and I know there are a few ladies in the house who are with me on this. And yes, for those who've never met him, up close and in person, Chase De Leo really is that special. I'm all in for him to go late in the first round. Wherever he lands, the NHL team that chooses Chase De Leo will be glad they did.
Are we there yet?: After Thursday's win, my mom was like "so now do they go to the Memorial Cup?" Soon. Very soon. First, they have some business to take care of:
Rocket power: A five-star match up between two equally matched opponents awaits in Kelowna. I personally find it best to take seriously any team with a scary lake monster on its jersey. Fueled by an all-star lineup, the league's best regular season record and a sweep of the Seattle Thunderbirds, the Kelowna Rockets are scary, with or without the Ogopogo on their jersey. They are all business and they come ready to play. I'm all in for the series going all the way to Game 7, topped off with some game winning heroics from either Oliver Bjorkstrand or Brendan Leipsic in overtime for the Western Conference title.
Road trip: As for how they'll get there, the road to a fourth straight championship begins in Kelowna. My mom and I will be there live and in person and I'll keep you posted.
