EAST LANSING -- Senior safety Kurtis Drummond is one of two returning starters in Michigan State's secondary, and has been identified as a likely team leader for the 2014 Spartans.
Through two spring scrimmages, his play on the practice field has been leading the way.
Drummond finished with six tackles and an interception in Saturday afternoon's scrimmage, his second straight scrimmage with a pick. Eight days ago, he recorded the only pick of the first scrimmage while again recording six tackles, tied for the team lead.
"I want to continue to work on my leadership skills, bringing guys along with me," Drummond said. "I also want to work on my footwork more. As a team, the defense is going to be more focused on bringing the `Dawgs out every day. We want to be that physical, run-stopping, nasty defense. As a team, we also want to continue to grow our chemistry, so everybody is moving in the same direction with the same purpose."
Video highlights of the scrimmage show Drummond picking off a Connor Cook pass thrown behind his receiver on a crossing route. It was one of two interceptions Cook threw on the day, the other on a short pass in the backfield that was returned 63 yards for a touchdown by Riley Bullough.
Drummond recorded four interceptions last year, tied with Darqueze Dennard for the team lead.
"It's something we'll continue to emphasize," Drummond said of forcing turnovers. "It was something we were able to do last year as a defense. We did a great job last year with fourth-down stops and getting the ball back for our offense. It's definitely something we need to improve on heading into summer camp."
Redshirt freshman Jalyn Powell, in the mix for playing time at the vacated free safety spot, was also among the statistical leaders in the scrimmage with eight total tackles, six solo.
Defensive end Lawrence Thomas, who missed last year's spring and fall camps with an injury, also gained the notice of his head coach Saturday. Thomas recorded seven total tackles, including one for loss.
"LT is a force in there," Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said. "He can play. He's a big-body guy that can run. Remember, he missed last spring and he missed last fall camp, so this is the first time in over a year that he's healthy enough to play day in and day out. LT has made every practice, so that's been a positive thing."

In the Princeton Symphony Orchestra's upcoming program "The Eternal Feminine," one famed female figure with many names seems to keep coming to the forefront.
Whether you want to call her Aphrodite, Venus or something else, the goddess of love and those related to her appear in many musical forms. The PSO pays tribute through Richard Wagner's Overture and "Venusberg Music" from "Tannhäuser," in two Richard Strauss songs, and in Debussy's "Nocturnes."
"The Wagner is a piece that deals with the two types of love: the carnal and the pure, almost platonic love that is the premise of 'Tannhäuser,' " says PSO music director Rossen Milanov.
Strauss' songs, on the other hand, present what Milanov describes as the "ultimate devotion" in the idyllic ode to eternal love "Morgen!" and "a little flirtatious and a fun element" in the coloratura showpiece "Amor," which depicts love as a capricious child. The Debussy features an appearance of a Siren chant.
The Icelandic soprano Dísella Làrusdóttir serves as the soloist, and the music will also feature the Women of the Westminster Williamson Voices. The show is being presented in collaboration with the Princeton University Art Museum, whose director, James Steward, will give a pre-concert lecture an hour before the music begins in the Richardson Auditorium. A post-concert tour of the museum will illuminate connections between music and art. The concert hall and the artwork are about 100 feet apart, and a reception will be part of the tour.
"They have an entire room which is devoted to Impressionistic art that depicts women, so the tour centers mostly around that room," says Milanov. "From a technical perspective, Impressionism in art and in music is how a particular style breaks with earlier tradition and deals with new forms."
The extension of tonality in music and the invention and growth of photography in art, he points out, changed both forms dramatically. Even though the composers on the program don't necessarily fit under the Impressionism banner, each work on the program comes from a composer with a distinctive, innovative musical language.
What may be the biggest draw to this concert, though, is the one big exception to the love theme: Sibelius' "Luonnotar," a tone poem that tells a creation story centering on the Finnish goddess of nature for whom it is named.
Làrusdóttir, whom Milanov was eager to bring back to the city of her alma mater (Westminster Choir College), could be an ideal soloist for the work. He has worked with her on numerous occasions, and lauds her sensitive musicianship.
Milanov says it should be especially rewarding to "hear the Nordic mythology from a person who can sort of directly relate."
Although music by Sibelius and other Finnish composers has become more widespread via performers like soprano Karita Mattila and conductor Esa Pekka Salonen, "Luonnotar" remains fairly rare on concert programs. The work is a marvel, though, with tremulous repeated high string patterns, text-painting elements like undulating waves and fluttering bird wings, folkish vocal writing and cool, slow-moving harmonies mixing with operatic grandeur. It's almost reminiscent of Puccini in its full-throated climactic moments, or Verdi as the low stirrings of the orchestra set the scene for storytelling.
"I don't think Sibelius' vocal music is very prominent and he's definitely not an opera composer, which brings even less attention to his talent in vocal music," says Milanov. "I think people will discover something quite interesting in that particular work."

X Factor, America's Got Talent, Hell's Kitchen, and Dancing with the Stars — all these popular shows originally started their life over the pond, in my neck of the woods, in the UK.
And, lots of UK shows such as The Office and Skins, have been re-made into American versions. Sometimes it works, other times, things get a wee bit lost in translation…
I'm addicted to American dramas, and think you guys do a much better job over there: Sopranos, Friday Night Lights, Parenthood, The West Wing, Grey's Anatomy, Nashville, American Horror Story, Desperate Housewives, Fame, Damages… my list is endless… I work in British drama, so I'm perhaps a bit overzealous on the subject!
So it got me thinkin'! What great British TV shows have we had in recent times, that could totally be re-made for USA screens? Or, I reckon you could all enjoy our originals…
Without further ado, I give you 10 fantastic British TV shows that you would love.
And if any of you have watched them already – please holler! I'd love to know what you thought of them!
The Fall 1 of 10
This 5-part series had every single one of my colleagues GRIPPED. Unusually, we knew from the off, who the serial killer was - and watched as Detective Stella Gibson, played by Gillian Anderson, hunted him down. Terrifying, creepy, and mesmerizing, we couldn't wait for Mondays to watch the next episode. Series 2 is on our screens over here so hopefully you'll be getting it at some stage! Even Gwyneth Paltrow was championing it on Goop! saying she was 'obsessed' with this show...

Take Me Out 2 of 10
The objective of the show is for a single man to get a date with one of thirty single women. The women stand on stage underneath thirty white lights, each with a button in front of them. A single man is then brought on stage and tries to persuade the women he is the one for them! If they like him they keep their panels lit. If not, they turn them red. If, at the end of three rounds, there are still lights left on, the bachelor will turn off all but two of the remaining lights himself... and then pick one laydee for a date! Hilarious to see what type of man the ladies all likey likey. The catchphrase is 'No likey, No lighty...'

Peep Show 3 of 10
Peep Show follows the lives of two men from their twenties to thirties, Mark Corrigan (David Mitchell), who has steady employment for most of the series, and Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne (Robert Webb), an unemployed would-be musician. Unusually it is filmed from the point of view of each character - so you feel they are DIRECTLY talking to you. Truly original and incredibly funny, as we watch Mark try to be anything other than socially awkward, and Jez be anything other than totally useless. Fox did once commission a series of Peep Show (a new version) in 2005, but didn't use the POV technique. I still think this deserves a fresh showing in the States.

The Crystal Maze 4 of 10
At one point this was the most watched show on Channel 4 in the UK. It ran for 5 years and had us all enchanted. So what was the Crystal Maze? It takes place within four different "zones," set in various periods of time and space. A team of six contestants take part in a selection of challenges in order to win "time crystals." Each crystal gives the team five seconds of time inside "The Crystal Dome," the heart of the maze where the contestants take part in their final challenge. Richard O'Brien led the teams through this merry quiz, like a pied piper. It is time for the maze to resurface again!

Broadchurch 5 of 10
Prior to The Fall, this is the show that everyone in the UK was talking about. A young boy is found murdered on a beach. The tiny seaside town holds the secret of his death - but who did it? Brilliant, not least because of Olivia Coleman's AMAZING portrayal of the investigating officer, who just so happens to be best friends with the dead boy's mum. Riveting, until a slightly obvious ending let it down. But that's just me being picky. This is one to order on DVD - just forgive me when you have been up all night watching it!

Black Mirror 6 of 10
Writer Charlie Brooker is a genius. So far two series of Black Mirror have been on in the UK. Each has 3 episodes, with entirely individual stories and characters. The theme is always technology and its darker side. To give anything else away would spoil what is a unique piece of drama. In fact, Robert Downey Jr. has optioned the episode The Entire History of You, to potentially be made into a film by Warner Bros. Watch this (dark) space...

Have I Got News For You 7 of 10
A panel quiz show based on current news and events, hosted by comedians and politicians. This has run for a remarkable 44 series. 44!! The show has cultivated a reputation for sailing close to the wind with its satirical remit. Smart, funny and beyond caustic, this show is crying out to be remade in the states.

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway 8 of 10
Ant and Dec are practically a British institution. The Geordie twosome have presented shows such as Pop Idol and Britain's Got Talent, but this is the jewel in Saturday night TV's crown. Filled with competitions and skits and a whole host of light entertainment thrown in, this show is a gem. From winning all the items featured in the commercial break, to watching contestants try and make Ant laugh - this is family fun at its best. Get them over to your side of the pond - quick! (If we would ever let them go...)

The Returned 9 of 10
Technically this is French. So apologies for putting this in this list - but I HAD to - as the past 8 Sunday nights have been about nothing but this spooky show. The premise is simple: People who have been dead for years have returned to a sleepy little French town, hidden in the hills. As they arrive, mysterious things begin to happen. Why are they back? What do they want, or who?

Streetmate 10 of 10
This show was presented by the gorgeous Davina McCall, pictured above. She simply had to pick an eligible male or female from passers-by on the street, and then with their help, approach eligible members of the opposite or the same sex for a date. As long as the person Davina had rounded up did indeed fancy the person Davina suggested to them! The couple then go on a date, and report back on its success or failure. If there was ever a show I could have presented - this would have been it. Davina had such fun setting up couples, who just happened to walk by each other...

I'm cutting back on my cable TV service. I resisted for years, and in fact, even expanded what I subscribed to, because my sons wanted soccer matches from Spain and movies on demand.
This may have been appropriate at one time, but I doubt that I watch as much as 10 hours of television a week these days, almost none of it airing above Channel 13 on the dial, er remote.
And you can see the disconnect right there.
I'm of the generation that, honestly, would rather get up out of my chair, walk up to a television and turn a dial with my hand to make a switch in programming. I look at a remote and my eyes blur. My brother will say, "Just hit 'mute.'" Easier said than done. It takes me awhile to find it. And forget about navigating with the yellow, blue and red prompts. I think I've yet to push one of those.
Plus, there's never just one remote. There's one that operates the TV, another for the DVR. And I think I have a third for something else, but no idea what. Why did I buy a DVR? It seemed like the thing to do, but I never use it — and that's even after one of my co-workers wrote out very simple steps for using it.
I should use it to record programs I do want to see but miss because I'm either not home or doing something else. Because then, on a slow night, I'd have something to watch. Last week, on Sunday, I scrolled up and down the channels and couldn't find one thing of interest. Too tired to read anymore, I headed for bed.
What is it that everyone finds so fascinating on television?
Primarily, I watch news. Not much of a surprise, right? But, while there is lots going on around the world, the presentation of news, as I knew it growing up, has changed. Television news to me has become a cross between fact and entertainment.
For example, I had a very hard time watching the Today Show's elaborate send-off of Meredith Vieira last June. After five years of co-anchoring the broadcast, she wanted to be able to spend more time with her family. But saying "so long" to her had to have cost that station an absolute fortune, and even though I liked her, the indulgence was tough to swallow when I thought about how many people had nothing to eat that day or no home in which to sit and catch the festivities at Rockefeller Center. Was that really necessary?
Most reality shows are deadly and most are not real at all. I have a hard time watching programming that caters primarily to those who lean left or those who lean right, politically. How many crime stories can you watch? Anything new there — at all?
Whatever happened to the sit-com? "Mary Tyler Moore," "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "Lassie"? Or what the heck —musical variety shows? I used to live for "Where the Action Is" and "Shindig," even "The Ed Sullivan Show."
The only thing that's left for me, these days, is sports — and I'm good with that. As long as a game of some sort airs on the low end of the channel options. I won't be looking for rugby in the UK.
I know I must be in the minority. What are you watching these days on television? What's popular? Make some suggestions, and I promise: I'll give them a try.
You can post a comment on silive.com at the end of this column, e-mail me at email@example.com or call at 718-816-8350.
Thanks for taking time to read. We should all be doing more of that.

Geekout: Alien vs. Predator
A while ago, I ran accross this McSweeney's article that pit Alien vs. Predator in a series of unlikely events like Macramé and Lincoln-Douglas Debating. Long time readers will know that I am a fan of the Alien vs. Predator concept, though the recent films have been awful (Alien, Aliens, and Predator are some of my favorites movies though, and the original AvP comic book was fantastic). In any case, I couldn't resist discussing and debating some of the events listed out, and the result was a pretty amusing (and incredibly geeky) conversation.
The first event under question was Breakdancing. I had picked the Alien for this and thought it was the obvious choice. My friend Roy disagreed, noting:
I think you've failed to take into account the unique physiology of the alien. Those tubes on his back? The tail? Those are going to make dancing very difficult. No backspins for him. I think that the Predator's upper body strength will help him to pull of some awesome moves. And, he doesn't have big pipes or tubes coming up out of his back.I have to admit that he had a point about the tubes on the Alien's back, but I still felt the Alien was the superior breakdancer. My response:
Point taken, but I still see the Alien having much more agility, thus giving them the ability to move more gracefully than the Predator while break dancing. While their backspins might be problematic, they do have that giant head which would enable them to perform some rather spectacular headstands and headspins. And while the tail could get in the way of a back-spin, it would also give them a valuable 5th pivot with which they could pull off all sorts of crazy moves. Back spins are an important part of break dancing, but there are no shortages of upper body, frontal, side, or sliding moves, and indeed, there seem to be more of those than back maneuvers. When you add in the Alien's unique physiology, you get something that would allow for all sorts of variations and indeed, even totally new moves. Really, I think the Alien would revolutionize the break dancing scene. The predator's upper-body streght would allow for some amazing handstand style moves, but in almost every other way they are less limber and agile than the alien or even most human break-dance experts. Indeed, the alien does not seem to have an absense of upper body strength, so it's not like that gives the Predator a decisive advantage (the way the alien's tail does). I suppose it's possible that not all Predators are as bulked up as the ones in the films, but there is no real evidence of that.Personally, I still believe I'm right on that one. The next event that came into question was Competitive Hot-Dog Eating. My initial pick was Predator, mostly because of his larger mouth and mandibles (when you look closely, the Alien's mouth is actually quite small). Anyway, Roy had some comments about this pick as well:
Totally goes to alien. Aliens are always hungry. They do nothing but eat and kill. We don't even actually know that Predator's eat meat. They're probably a bunch of annoying vegans. ;POnce again, I think Roy makes a fair point here, but it's ultimately unpersuasive. My response:
This makes more sense to me, though I do maintain that the Alien's multi-tiered mouth is still significantly smaller and thus represents a bottleneck during any sort of competitive eating contest. Yes, their activities are generally limited to eating, killing, building those crazy hives and reproducing, but I see that as just a further example of why they would not be good at competitive eating. Since that's all they do, they do not have to eat fast. It's hard to tell because the alien and it's motivations are so... alien... and unexplored. The Predators, on the other hand, clearly have some sort of civilization with technological capabilities well beyond our own. It stands to reason that they would have less time dedicated to eating, and thus would need to scarf down more in less time... which means they would be better suited towards competitive eating. Your point about vegan Predators is also taken, but what we know of their culture is that it is based primarily on hunting. While I'm sure there are vegan Predators, I think it's fair to speculate that a race of hunters values and prizes meat.I thought that was pretty good, but someone else stepped in at this point to defend Roy, noting that:
We know they hunt, yes, but in the hunts we've seen they take trophies, not food. I have yet to see a predator field-dress an alien. I mean, hell, how much meat could be on something like that anyway? It's all chitin and sinew, not really a meal at all, and that's before we think about the effects upon the stomach lining of that acid blood (ulcers like you wouldn't believe!!). No, it's not fair to speculate on their eating habits by looking at their hunts. Their hunts are trophy kills, rites of passage, not a means for survival. Everything we've seen of their society, we haven't been given clue one about their eating habits.This is certainly an interesting take on the matter. My response:
Interesting point, but I think it's reasonable to make some extrapolations based on their hunting culture. It's reasonable to assume that their hunts as portrayed in the movies are indeed trophy hunts and not a matter of survival or food. This makes sense on an additional level because they're hunting alien species and alien physiology may not react well with their digestive systems (as you mention, the alien would be particularly bad in that respect). However, it's also reasonable to assume that the reason for their hunting tradition is that they were required to do so in the evolution of their species. Yes, I'm extrapolating from human experiences here, but there are humans today who hunt purely for trophies. It's reasonable to assume that the reason the Predator race is so focused on hunting is that they were forced to do so on their home planet. Indeed, in such a case, the act of hunting could take on a more meaningful aspect because of symbolic or perhaps even spiritual reasons. The act of hunting clearly goes beyond survival for them, but it's reasonable to assume that it began as a simple survival technique on their home planet, and grew into a more meaningful practice as the race became more advanced.This thread went on for a few more posts and ultimately resulted in a stalemate, as we really don't know enough about either culture to say for sure. I still think it's reasonable to say that the hunting culture of the Predators implies a history of hunting and meat-eating.
The next topic under debate was the Wet T-Shirt Contest, which I had originally given a tie. After all, for the most part, we see both the Alien and the Predator without their shirts on, so what's the point of a Wet T-Shirt Contest? However, someone interjected a brilliant point that totally convinced me that I was wrong; the Alien would undoubtedly win this event.
Wet T-shirt: Alien. Preddy has been noted on several occasions to be "one ugly motherfucker."There is simply no arguing with that one.

Another Link Dump
I try not to make a habit of just throwing up a bunch of links, but when time grows short, it's difficult to give certain subjects the thought and attention they deserve. I've started a couple of posts, but they're both turning out to be monsters. One is a review of Neal Stephenson's latest novel, Anathem, which I finished this week and have been thinking about a lot. It might take me a bit to sort through it all. The other is a discussion of ratings systems for movies - a subject that seems relatively simple at first, but which grew more complicated the more I thought about it. Unfortunately, I was traveling for most of this weekend, so I didn't have much time to devote to either of these ideas... and this week promises to be busy as well. In the mean time, here are a few things I've run across lately that are worth watching or reading:

SF and Real Life Space Exploration
This summer, Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin criticized fantastical Science Fiction TV shows and movies, claiming that they are responsible for a lack of interest in real space exploration.
"I blame the fantastic and unbelievable shows about space flight and rocket ships that are on today," Aldrin said in an interview during an ice cream party held by the National Geographic Channel at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., this week. "All the shows where they beam people around and things like that have made young people think that that is what the space program should be doing. It's not realistic."This caused a bit of a stir this summer and just recently, SF Signal posted a series of responses by popular SF authors. Several responses are worthy of note. First, let's get John Scalzi's response out of the way:
Absolutely. This also explains why the unrealistic science in CSI has completely killed interest in forensic pathology. And why the upcoming show Buzz, The Cranky Old Astronaut What Shakes His Fist at the Kids These Days will ruin the joy of illicitly playing on Aldrin's lawn for generations to come.Heh. Ok, so most of them take a more serious approach to the material. Ultimately, most of the responses boil down to "He kinda has a point, but not really." But there are some good points made in the process. First, Jack McDevitt actually agrees with Aldrin... but then he also claims that without SF, we'd never have had interest in the first place (and presumably, Aldrin thus wouldn't have had the chance to go gallavanting around the moon). J. Michael Straczynski makes the obvious point:
The only thing wrong with Buzz Aldrin's statement is that it's not true.Mike Brotherton makes some excellent points and also has a few good suggestions:
Real space exploration has been slow, expensive, and dangerous, a far cry from rugged, unintellectual heroes and their droids popping into hyperspace, or taking a quick excursion to blow up an Earth-destined asteroid the size of Texas.Personally, my first thought was that Aldrin was nuts. Then I realized that he only really mentioned TV and movies... and when I really thought about it, it began to make a little more sense. I don't believe for a second that fantastical TV shows like Star Trek actively discourage people because they feature FTL drives and transporters, but at the same time I can't think of many SF shows or movies that really do focus on the realities of space travel. In general, true hard science fiction is poorly represented in TV and film. In books, it's a different story. They tend to also contain McGuffins like FTL drives, but they try to minimize that in favor of scientific rigor. But books seem to work better at that than visual mediums. As Mike Brotherton noted above, space travel is slow, expensive, and dangerous. The "dangerous" part would probably make for good TV, but the tedious, slow and expensive parts probably don't. The fact is that realistic space travel isn't anywhere near as glamorous as it sounds at first... a fact that is completely antithetical to TV and movies. That doesn't mean that great stories can't be told in a realistic and engaging fashion, and I would gladly watch a show like that if it were aired, but I'm not holding my breath. Would such a show really spark that much interest in the space program? I'm not sure. In general, I tend to believe that art reflects the culture it was created in... and that this hypothetical hard SF show we're talking about would only really become popular in a society that was already interested in space travel. Fortunately, I don't think it's that hard of a sell. It may not be as glamorous as it seems at first, but that's a problem all technological fields face... and technological advances don't seem to be slowing either...

The Holiday Movie Season
I know this tends to be an annual refrain for some people, but this year is not shaping up to be a particularly good year for movies. By this time in 2006 or 2007, I had already seen the grand majority of the films that would show up in my top 10 movies for both years. This year, I've seen two movies that are definites. There are a few other borderline picks as well, but few films that could compete with the past two years (and I thought 2007 was a distinct step down from 2006). We're also coming up on the time of the year when Hollywood eschews the traditional big-budget blockbuster and starts putting out their prestige fare in the hopes of garnering an Oscar... but this year is not looking especially strong in that respect either.
I'm not sure what the issue is here. Perhaps we're still seeing the effects of the writers strike earlier this year. Or maybe the independent arms of the big studios are in a bit of a crunch. Whatever the reason, the upcoming holiday movie season seems lacking. Will there be enough to round out my top 10, or will I need to reduce the list to a top 5? Regardless, here are some films I'm looking forward to:

Hellsing: Assorted Thoughts
I mentioned the other week that I wanted to try out a horror Anime series. I initially wanted to watch Vampire Hunter D because I'd seen the original and I'd heard it was just as good if not better than that film. Alas, it was not available on Netflix, so I had to find something else. Keeping with the theme of vampires, I found a couple of good reviews of Hellsing. This was an interesting experience, because my usual guides to the world of anime had almost nothing to say about Hellsing. It didn't even warrant consideration on Steven's Future Series page (not that he'd like this series, as it easily meets two of his criteria for rejection: "grim and gritty" and "blood and gore")! In any case, it seems to have good reviews and it was a short series (13 episodes), so I figured checking out the first disc was worth it. Below are some assorted thoughts and the extended entry has more screenshots and thoughts as well...
Update: Author comments. I must be somewhat frustrating to other members of the Otakusphere in that I'm not constantly posting about Anime and will sometimes go through prolonged droughts while I work through some other obsession (most recently, the 6WH marathon). This time, I was delayed in part because I went back and watched Crest of the Stars and got a little sidetracked while I waited for the final disc from Netflix (incidentally, the final disc did come at some point, and I stand by my recommendation not to skip Crest before watching Banner.)
Fledgeling Otaku also comments. He's intrigued by Alucard's invincibility and draws parallels with Avatar: The Last Airbender and even Superman (who is just about the opposite of Alucard in every way except for their theoretical invincibility - perhaps Alucard is more like General Zod?). It's an interesting perspective...
Alucard and his big gun
Did I mention that the series has lots of uber-cool shots of people pointing guns directly at the camera? That seems to be one of Alucard's favorite moves.
Here is one of Alucard's guns. Because of his superhuman strength, Alucard can cary bigger, heavier guns than a mere human. As you can see, this particular gun uses .454 Casull ammunition. This is a real caliber, and for a short time, it was the most powerful commercially produced handgun round on the market (it has since been eclipsed). I've actually shot a .454 Casull handgun, and let's just say it's a rather powerful round. Later in the series, Alucard even upgrades his weapon to a more powerful round, but he still keeps this gun around in case he wants a gun in each hand.
This is Alexander Anderson. As previously noted, he works for the Vatican's vampire hunting wing, the Iscariot Organization. He's also a Regenerator, and thus he doesn't seem to be able to die. Devoted to hunting down and killing monsters, he seems to disagree strongly with the Hellsing Organization's use of vampires, and thus he has attacked Alucard and Seras Victoria on multiple occassions. He has survived his encounters with Alucard though, and seems to be able to hold his own (though he's clearly not as powerful as Alucard).
This is Incognito, the second most powerful vampire in the series (behind only Alucard). It is mentioned that he is from "the dark continent," presumably a reference to Africa. It's also mentioned that he serves a human master, though we never really find out who that is or why it's important (as I mentioned above, this might be a source of strength for vampires, though it isn't really explored in detail).
Did I mention that this series seems to revel in creating neat visuals like this one of Alucard emerging from the smoke? Yes? Good.
The name Alucard itself implies that he is actually Dracula (Alucard backwards is Dracula - this is an alias used in Bram Stoker's original novel), but just in case you don't follow, the series really rams it home with this quick flash, followed by a picture of one of Alucard's enemies impaled on a spike.
And that about wraps it up for Hellsing. Overall, I enjoyed the series. Though I would have preferred a little more depth, they made up for it with lots of neat battle sequences and a lot of implied details...

Anathem is Referential
I am surprisingly only about halfway through Neal Stephenson's new novel, Anathem. Of course, this has nothing to do with the book itself and is more a result of a certain baseball team's improbable World Series win (Go Phils!), a particularly eventful election season and, of course, watching ridiculous amounts of horror films in preparation for Halloween. Also, since Stephenson only tends to put out books at a rate of about once every 3-4 years, I figure it's a good thing to savor this one. So far, it's excellent, and I can't wait to see where it's going.
There are a couple of interesting questions that keep popping into my head though, one of which has to do with the referential nature of the setting. The story takes place on an alien planet named Arbre. This planet is remarkably similar to Earth in many ways. The civilization on Arbre is a few thousand years beyond where we are, but again, there are many parallels between Arbre's history and Earth's history. Since it's an alien planet, there are different names for lots of things or historical figures, but it's often very clear who has inspired various ideas in the book. The book actually has a glossary in the back and peppers various dictionary definitions throughout the book to keep the reader up to speed on various differences between the planets. This can be a bit tricky at first, but after the initial shock, I realized that it was pretty easy to follow and even fun to puzzle out the various connections (in other words, I don't think the glossary is as necessary in Anathem as it is in a book like Frank Herbert's Dune, where I found it necessary to frequently reference the glossary). However, I can't help but wonder, why place the story on an alien planet at all? Why not just set it far enough into the future that you can still hint at the various historical connections and ideas without having to specifically call them out? Perhaps there's more to it than meets the eye. As I've mentioned in an earlier entry about Anathem, decoding all the references is part of the fun of SF.
And indeed, I do get a kick out of reading Stephenson's description of Hemn Space and thinking to myself, that sounds an awful lot like a Hilbert Space! It was oddly satisfying to recognize some obscure reference like Project Orion just from the description of a cosmological observation made by some of the characters. And there are a ton of these: Protas is a philosopher who is clearly supposed to be analogous to Plato, Adrakhones is like Pythagoras, Gardan's Steelyard is similar to Occam's Razor, and so on. When I did a quick search, I found that there were tons of other references that I didn't even pick up on... One of my favorite references is actually rather trivial, but it makes sense in terms of the story and it gives us SF nerds something to geek out on. (from page 47 of my edition):
"...what is the origin of the Doxan Iconography?"The series is obviously an analog to Star Trek and Dox is clearly a reference to Spock. If I had more than 5 readers, there'd probably be one who was really into Star Trek and they'd probably be fuming right now because the description above doesn't match exactly with the real Star Trek (I mean, duh, the Enterprise's mission was to explore space, not to attack an alien race!). Perhaps Stephenson set the story on Arbre so that he could avoid such nitpicks and get people to focus on the story. Indeed, this wouldn't be the first time he sought to avoid the nitpicking masses. In Cryptonomicon, Stephenson's characters ran around using computers with the Finux operating system, an obvious reference to Linux. Stephenson has an FAQ where he explains why he did this:
> Neal, in Cryptonomicon why did you call Windows and MacOS bySo perhaps setting the story on Arbre just affords Stephenson the creative freedom to tell the story as he sees fit, instead of having to shoehorn everything into Earth history and worry about people missing the forest for the trees. In the process, the story becomes more cognitively engaging (in the way most referential art is) because we're constantly drawing parallels to Earth's history.
As previously mentioned, this is a somewhat common feature of the science fiction and fantasy genres. It's one of the reasons SF/F fans enjoy these books so much... Alas, it's probably also why true SF doesn't get much of a mainstream following, as I can't imagine this sort of thing is for everybody. In any case, I'm really enjoying Anathem, and now that my various distractions have calmed down a bit, I'll probably tear through the rest of the book relatively quickly.

Sunday, November 02, 2008
At ZDNet, Robin Harris makes a mildly persuasive argument that Blu-Ray is dying and will end up becoming a videophile niche format like laserdisc. When Toshiba threw in the towel and gave up on HD-DVD about 8 months ago, it looked like a major victory for Sony on multiple fronts. First, they were the uncontested heir to the HD movie market and second, fence sitters in the next-gen gaming console market had a reason to plunk down a little extra for a PS3. But 8 months later, things haven't changed a whole lot. Standalone BR players have come down in price and will be reaching affordable levels shortly. PS3 sales received a bump, overtaking the XBox sporadically during this year, but it looks like Microsoft's price cut has reestablished PS3 as the loser of the next-gen gaming market (of course, both are being clobbered by Nintendo). Sony is betting on the release of several highly anticipated games for the PS3 this holiday season, which should sell consoles and thus increase BR market penetration.
There are lots of things to consider here:

o you like to visit other places, see and do other things, but maybe, once there, relaxing just isn't your "thing?"
Why not try a volunteer vacation – take a week or two and join a group working on a worthwhile project.
Costs can vary from $350 and up, depending on location.
Most times, meals and accommodations – sometimes communal such as bunkhouses and church rooms – are provided and the minimal costs will cover food expenses and transportation.
Here are some experiences I had with volunteer vacations:
South Dakota
Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota is the second poorest county in the United States. The Dakotas Conference of the United Methodist Church sponsors a multi-denominational Christian Outreach program called The Tree of Life Ministry (TOLM).
Volunteers of 80 or so work in small groups to make repairs to reservation homes, organize the thrift shop or work in the sewing room.
My Centre County group of four joined another Pennsylvania group of 15 for a four-day work week on the Lakota and Dakota Sioux Indian reservation that comprises the whole of Todd County.
The TOLM provides several homes for volunteer housing. Full kitchen facilities allow groups to prepare and cook their own meals. Everyone takes a turn helping.
On Day 1, the group meets with a project manager to gather supplies needed for the week. Our project was to put four windows in a very, very small ranch home housing a husband, wife and their five boys.
I will never forget the sight of the youngest boy peering out a window covered only with a sheet of Plexiglas. How did they endure the harsh Dakota winters?
During the week, we added the new windows, cleaned the backyard of rubbish and created a patio block entrance to the house.
This outreach is cross-cultural. During work projects, the families are encouraged to help and learn alongside the volunteers.
In our case, the older boys helped rake the yard and hammer nails.
"Removing ignorance removes fear and opens the door to friendship," according to the TOLM website.
Education also is cross-cultural. Every night we learned something about Sioux culture: dance, music, crafts and storytelling plus speaker presentations of present-day Native American hurdles.
This particular outreach program gives the volunteers a mid-week break to see the countryside. We drove through the Badlands to visit Mt. Rushmore.
My group of seven energetic people from different areas of eastern and central Pennsylvania gathered in Harrisburg to travel together as volunteers to work on a sustainable working farm in Massachusetts – Overlook Farms, of Heifer International.
Heifer International is a non-profit organization that provides livestock and training to rural communities around the world. There, amidst crowing roosters, bleating goats and baaing lambs, is a teaching and training facility that appreciates volunteer labor for the upkeep of their facilities.
Overlook Farms supports the organization's efforts to alleviate hunger, poverty and environmental concerns through a variety of methods such as field trips and multi-day educational programs.
The 270-acre property contains organic gardens, pasture, woodlands and more than 20 kinds of livestock – mostly goats and chickens, but also heifers, sheep, rabbits, llamas and even a camel.
The property once was a holding and shipping facility for animals to be sent overseas. However, due to costs and paperwork, it is more feasible to purchase animals in countries where they will be used. So, now, this is an educational property, welcoming more than 20,000 visitors a year who learn ways to alleviate world hunger and poverty.
At Overlook Farms, my group of five women and two men painted a cattle loafing shed greed, started painting red a newly constructed two-story barn that will provide additional educational space, prepared foundation for and leveled cement in the floor of the new Kenya House, repaired and stained a wooden wishing well, lag-bolted wooden vertical barn beams to steel plates and patched a tile roof.
"I so enjoyed this outreach experience," one group member said. "I liked painting the wishing well. Along with the hard work, we had a lot of fun!"
I accompanied a group from Williamsport for a Volunteers in Mission (VIM) trip to the state of Indiana. Seventeen of us drove 11 hours to Hammond, Indiana. We were housed in a six-bedroom, ranch house parsonage that LARRI – the Lakeshore Area Regional Recovery of Indiana – leased for three years for volunteer use during the cleanup of Hurricane Ike.
On the first day, we got our assignments. I signed up to sand drywall in a house in Gary, Indiana. The homeowner was a 64-year-old great-grandmother who was living on disability.
Her basement, with a bedroom and bathroom, was flooded up to the third step. A previous group had installed the drywall and mud, but we had to sand the dried mud and re-mud any rough spots.
Another day was used to work on the parsonage where we were staying. The many-roomed basement needed its moldy drywall removed and replaced.
Since that required going up a split-landing set of stairs and then a long walk to the curb, we set up a "chain gang." Some carried drywall to the steps' landing, some heaved it over the stair railing and others carried to the curb.
On the last day, we prepared a meal for all the homeowners, LARRI staff and church members – about 50 people. Our "chef" prepared au gratin potatoes and ham; carrots and green beans.
The church ladies donated homemade Hungarian sausage and homemade noodles and the dessert.
As you can assume, you work hard during a volunteer vacation.
And, as with all volunteer endeavors, remember you might be out of your element. Be prepared to adjust to whatever the situation is and, remember, you are working to uplift the spirit of others.
The volunteer vacation experience includes:
- Co-workers who are good company and hard workers;
Courteous and patient staff
- The settings – beautiful windswept plains, rolling-hill countrysides, quiet suburbs
And all of this adds up to an experience that is priceless.

Pro day was a much less stressful event than the NFL combine for Brandon Coleman. The former Rutgers wide receiver called the combine a physically and mentally exhausting experience. The feeling was much different in Rutgers' practice bubble Wednesday afternoon.
"The combine was much more emotional than this," Coleman said. "This was very calm. It's kind of like a practice to me because this is my turf and I've been out here running around for four years now so I'm familiar this whole area. This was nothing compared to the combine as far as anxiety."
The fact that Coleman already had completed his physical tests at the combine – and is satisfied with the results – alleviated any stress. Coleman only ran pass routes in front of scouts from 25 NFL teams at pro day. Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio led the receivers through the drills.
Coleman looked sharp catching passes from quarterback Chas Dodd.
"I just feel my stride is back," Coleman said. "I have a lot more power in my legs now and I'm running a lot smoother."
Coleman was hampered by a knee injury last season when he had 34 catches for 538 yards and four touchdowns. Wednesday marked the one-year anniversary of that injury. Coleman said he's back at 100 percent after rehabilitating at the EXOS training facility in Phoenix after the season.
"It's just a blessing to be out there at this point in time," Coleman said. "I had a lot of treatment and therapy. I want to thank everybody that was out there helping me during that and it's a lot of hard work and dedication. It didn't come easy."
Coleman believes his return to health should be a sign of his work ethic to NFL teams.
"Everybody is questioning my knee," Coleman said. "I feel like the fact that I'm working hard to overcome that, I think that's what I'm showing them – that I'm willing to work hard."
It's difficult to get a read on Coleman's draft stock, especially in a deep wide receiver class. He tries to avoid the draft forecasting altogether.
"I haven't been following that because those can go either way," Coleman said. "It's a sliding scale. There's no need to get caught up in all that. Fans and friends want to talk about it all the time, but I just say it's not for me right now."
Bengals receiver Mohamed Sanu, who starred at Rutgers from 2009-11, has seen enough to be convinced that Coleman is ready to make an impact in the NFL.
"He's looked great," Sanu said. "That kid is huge. He's unbelievable. He has all the potential in the world. I'm excited for him to see where he lands because he's going to help a team out tremendously."
With the combine and pro day crossed off the pre-draft checklist, Coleman expects to spend much of his time between now and the May 8-10 draft visiting teams for individual workouts and interviews.
"I do feel good about everything right now," Coleman said. "I'm just taking it all in one-by-one. Whatever comes next, I'm willing and ready to take it on."

A 70-year-old Hillsboro man came home Thursday night to find a burglar in his bedroom.
It was just about 9 p.m. The man and his wife walked into their 16th Avenue residence and heard noises coming from the back of the house, said Lt. Mike Rouches, a Hillsboro police spokesman. They investigated.
In a back bedroom, they reportedly found the burglar. A struggle began.
The man pinned the 20-year-old burglar to the floor, and his wife called 911, Rouches said.
"The victim is trying to hold him," Rouches said, "and the bad guy is trying to get away."
Police arrived at the residence, in the 700 block of Southeast 16th Avenue, within three to four minutes. They quickly took the burglar, still being pinned to the floor, into custody, Rouches said.
Police identified the suspect as 20-year-old Antonio Erick Mejia-Otzoy, of Hillsboro.
Neither the victim nor suspect was armed during the encounter, and no one was injured. Rouches did not have further details about their struggle. They reportedly do not know one another.
During their investigation, officers discovered that Mejia-Otzoy had pried the screen open on the back bedroom window, which was ajar, Rouches said. Police also found that Mejia-Otzoy had more than $1,000 -- in $100 bills – in his wallet. Rouches wasn't sure how he got the cash.
Mejia-Otzoy was taken to the Washington County Jail on accusations of first-degree burglary and second-degree criminal mischief.
Rouches said Hillsboro police encourage residents to just call the cops, instead of approaching burglars.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Twenty-two drivers qualified today, filling
the 33-car field for the May 25th Indy 500.
Among those qualifying: Graham Rahal, the son of 1986 Indy
winner and IRL IndyCar Series team owner Bobby Rahal.
The younger Rahal drove in the now-defunct Champ Car World
Series in 2007 for eight-time champion Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing.
Rahal won his first IRL race on the street circuit in St.
Petersburg, Florida, becoming the youngest IndyCar winner ever.
Now he is going to have a chance to race at Indy.
Others qualifying today include rookies Alex Lloyd, Will Power,
E.J. Viso and Jaime Camara and veterans John Andretti, Jeff Simmons
and Sarah Fisher.
Tomorrow is Bump Day, when the slower drivers could be bumped
from the lineup.

A Slate column, citing a Yale University poll, says the country's extreme weather has boosted the number of people who believe in climate change -- "global warming." It says: "Americans' belief in global warming fell from 71 percent in November 2008 to just 57 percent in January 2010 but rebounded to 66 percent by this spring."
The climate does change worldwide, of course, but the hows, whys and what-if-anything-should-we-do-about-its of global warming lead to political divide and debate.
Since at least 1988, climate scientists have warned that climate change would bring, in general, increased heat waves, more droughts, more sudden downpours, more widespread wildfires and worsening storms. In the United States, those extremes are happening here and now.
Central Pennsylvania was among the regions sweltering last week in a heat wave, with temperatures on Saturday topping 100. Did the heat wave -- along with the region's thunderstorms, floods and tornadoes of the last year or two -- affect your opinion on global climate change?

A grocery store is a grocery store is a grocery store, right? Not necessarily. To incurable impulse buyers (guilty as charged), the surprise factor can transform a ho-hum errand into a thrilling journey of mindless overspending.
Fact is, we humans were prowling for new foods and flavors long before there were grocery stores. A recurrent theme in prehistoric cave paintings shows an excited hunter/gatherer returning home with a bloody mastodon femur and exclaiming to his wife: "Look, honey! They have new sour cream-jalapeno flavor!"
It was in that spirit that I ventured recently to Auburn to shop at a Tops store for the first time. For those of you who actually do live in caves, Buffalo-based Tops Markets looks poised to purchase the bankrupt Penn Traffic (P&C) chain and become a major player in the feeding of Syracuse.
Let me say upfront that I'll miss P&C. Six years ago, when we Kramers first moved here from California, P&C was the first market I patronized. One of my purchases that day was a packet of coldcuts that was leaking rancid bologna juice when I unpacked it. I threw it away, but that wasn't the end of it. Somewhere in one of our local landfills, the putrefying bologna clot hatched seven P&C executives who paid themselves a total of $1 million in bonuses for destroying the company. Corporate stewards of such high caliber can't be easily replaced. I know I speak for all of Central New York in wishing all seven the best of luck in whatever challenges await them, whether it's finding a comfortable basking rock during mating season or swallowing their prey whole.
But getting back to my visit to Tops. The store was tidy, the employees friendly and more important, I found lots of unusual products that I didn't need but bought anyway. I purchased a 3-pound sack of animal crackers (why?), lard, gooseberry jam and Buffalo Bills receiver Terrell Owens' own cereal, called T.O.'s. (Enjoy 'em with milk — or lithium.)
I have a high tolerance for tinned seafood, so I scooped up some Spiced Octopus in Seasoned Red Sauce, Herring Fillets in Paprika Sauce and Mackerel Salad with the mysterious words "Skusa sa Povrcem" on the box. What can I say? I live on the edge.
Other purchases included Rachael Ray Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) because her picture is on the label, and she's hot; and a jerky-making kit for wild game. (Maybe it's an Auburn thing.) I also purchased a four-pack of Celsius Green Tea, which burns "up to 100 or more" calories per can. I guzzled a can in the store — the equivalent of 10 minutes on a treadmill — and felt a whole new me taking shape.
An hour or so later I headed home with a shiny new Tops card and a good feeling about this deal. I hope it happens. If not, we'll all be in deep Skusa sa Povrcem.

text: No poop in 4 days! I guess DS swallowed more than his little belly could handle! We offered sweet potato for 3 days in a row, but stopped since he's been irregular. I gave him a little water today hoping to get things rolling. When would you start offering prune juice? He doesn't seem miserable but he has been a regular once a morning type for 3 of his 6 months.

Dig This Song is a look at whatever piece of music has captured my attention this week. It's just like those other gazillion music blogs out there except a) I'll only be doing one song a week instead of 20 a day; b) you won't be able to download a free copy of the song unless the band's label has made it available; and c) this is my opinion. Enjoy!
"Careful With That Hat," Citay"It's an homage, not a mockery, I swear."
The members of San Francisco band Citay sing those lines in three-part harmony at one point in this psych-pop epic, just in case you doubt the sincerity of their enthusiasm for The Allman Brothers Band. "Careful With That Hat" takes the extended jams of "Ramblin' Man" and "Jessica" and turns the feel-good meter all the way up to 11. Rock 'n' roll doesn't get much sunnier than this.
Citay is one of those peculiar creatures, the "indie supergroup," whose members all hail from other musical projects that no one has ever heard of, including Tussle, The Dry Spells and (profanity alert!) these guys.
Just what is so dangerous about that hat remains a mystery, but the title is illustrative of the goofy, carefree attitude that saturates the track. Clocking in just less than seven minutes, the song's second half is all interlocking riffs that are sure to appeal to jam-band fans. You need not have attended 18 Phish shows to enjoy it, however; Citay keeps the proceedings moving at a bouncy clip and never descends into dull guitar wankery.
The track is available as a free download through the band's official Web site.

no way, it is not better than all.
Well, let's see...VF pay 2.9% dividend, JCP pays 1.9%VF has lots of top shelf brands like North Face, Reef, Seven, etc sold to high income customers who don't care if gas is high and aren't facing foreclosures, as well as selling retail mainstays like Wrangler and Lee. People will keep buying jeans. When your old ones' knees wear through, you get another pair.JCP sells lower end stuff and has to cut their prices to the bone to do it, but VF won't cut their prices to customers like JCP, Penny's get screwed, not VF.Have you been to a Penny's in the last week? I have. Everything in their fucking store is selling for 1/2 price! The place reeks of desperation. Consumers sense that. Penny's is going to bite the big one while people scarf up North Face fleeces and Reef sandals.
Why this drop? Finanacials look ok.

Incredible Pencil Sculptures by Cerkahegyzo
BoredPanda staff
Hungarian artist, going by the nickname of Cerkahegyzo, carves amazing sculptures from a single pencil. To create such meticulous miniatures, the artist uses needles, sandpaper, razor blades, polishing stones, files and all variety of pencils. Cerkahegyzo was inspired to start sculpting pencils after he came across the tiny pencil tip sculptures by Dalton Ghetti.
Working as a professional tool-maker in Hungary, Cerkahegyzo says that sculpting pencil miniatures is a great way to relax and has become his free time hobby. Clearly the concentration that such work requires leaves you unable to think about anything else rather than how to get that minuscule curve right! [Read more...]
For more pencil sculptures, be sure to check out the work of Dalton Ghetti.

Below theWorld Group, the Davis Cup nations compete in zones: the Americas Zone, the Asia/Oceania Zone and the Europe/Africa Zone. In each zone, there are four groups: Group I is the highest-seeded group, and Group IV the lowest. Although they can't win the Davis Cup, they play to improve their seeding for future DavisCups.
The competition between two nations is called a tie. A tie is composed of two singles matches in which the top player from each country plays the No. 2 player from the other on Friday. One doubles match is played on Saturday and reverse singles (No. 1 vs. No. 1 and No. 2 vs. No. 2) are on Sunday.
Matches are best of five sets until the winner of the tie is settled; subsequent matches are best of three. Set tiebreakers are used except for fifth sets.

Winner of a Los Angeles area Emmy® Award in the category of Arts and Culture/History
Check here to see broadcast dates and times around the country.
Mia Slavenska was one of the most celebrated ballerinas of the 20th century, Croatia's greatest dancer, and a pioneer in American ballet. Caught in the maelstrom of 20th century political events, she was forced to leave her native Croatia at age twenty in order to continue to dance; at age twenty-one, she was celebrated in Western Europe as the likely successor to prima Ballerina Anna Pavlova; and, at age twenty-three, she was emigrating to the United States with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo to escape a looming world war.
Photograph by Maurice Seymour
When Mia arrived in the late 1930s, she found an America where outside of major cities ballet was known as "fancy dancing" and "toe dancing" and was most often performed as variety acts in music reviews and movie halls. She was one of a small band of famous European émigré ballerinas who changed the face of American culture by introducing audiences across the country to ballet as an art form. Without Mia and her émigré colleagues, choreographer George Balanchine's American revolution in ballet would never have made it past the borders of New York City.
Photograph by Maurice Seymour
Mia was a modernist, one of the few ballerinas to form her own company. She moved freely between modern and ballet idioms. In 1952, she convinced Tennessee Williams to allow her ballet company to produce a ballet version of A Streetcar Named Desire. It was the first time a modern play was turned into a ballet. With her portrayal of Blanche Dubois, Mia Slavenska became a truly American artist.
Photograph by Marcus Blechman
But her daughter, Maria, remembers her mother's halcyon days of dancing only vaguely. Slavenska retired from the stage in the early 1960s when Maria was still a young girl. Mostly, Maria remembers her mother's preoccupation with her lost fame. At the end of her life, Slavenska was haunted by the fear of obscurity and spent over twenty years of her life writing and rewriting her memoirs. When Slavenska died in 2002, her memoirs remained unpublished and she believed that she had been completely forgotten, not only in the United States but also in her native land of Croatia. Before Slavenska died, Maria promised that she would tell her mother's story. This film is the keeping of that promise. As Maria retraces her mother's life journey, she unearths the story of a maverick ballerina and a lost time in American dance. And, Maria makes a most surprising discovery: Mia Slavenska hasn't been forgotten after all.

Charlottetown Islanders listen to coach Gordie Dwyer during Thursday's practice.
Charlottetown hosts Acadie-Bathurst Friday, Saint John Saturday
Being in the playoffs does not satisfy the Charlottetown Islanders.
The team clinched a playoff spot Wednesday night when the Saint John Sea Dogs lost to the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles.
The Isles have two games remaining in the regular season, tonight against the Acadie-Bathurst Titan and Saturday with the Sea Dogs. Both games are 7 p.m. starts at the Eastlink Centre.
"They're pretty huge" games, right-winger Robert Pelletier said before Thursday's practice. "I know we found out that we were in the playoffs last night, but it does not stop there one bit."
The Islanders (20-38-3-5) and Titan (21-39-4-2) are tied with 48 points and battling for the 14th of 16 playoff spots.
"We obviously want to get that win against them," said Pelletier, who was traded by the Titan to Charlottetown at the trade deadline. "It's going to be a huge game for us. We're all . . . pumped up and ready to go."
Coach Gordie Dwyer said his team is looking forward to competing in the playoffs, but its focus is finishing strong.
"There's still some unfinished business," he said. "We've been in this playoff push for the last couple of weeks and the guys have responded well and played hard."
Both teams struggled for a month starting in mid-January. The Titan was winless in 13 games while the Islanders were winless in 12.
Dwyer said it took a while for the new players, acquired during the trade period, to find their way and the team had to adjust its systems to the new makeup of the team.
"We had to change a lot of how we had to play to be successful," Dwyer said.
He credited the players for continuing to work hard and pointed to players like Pelletier, left-winger Julien Avon and defenceman David Henley as a few who have found their roles and are making consistent contributions for the squad.
"We've really come a long way. As a team we've stuck together and we've really grown as a family," Pelletier said. "We're jelling at the perfect time."
Dwyer said the Titan had some veteran firepower in guys like Matthew Boudreau, Scott Oke, Alexandros Soumakis and Raphael Lafontaine and a veteran netminder in Jacob Brennan.
Centre Nathan Yetman said it is important to finish strong and take the confidence into the playoffs. While he said they are both attainable victories, they will be "hard-fought games."
Yetman and defenceman Kevin Laliberte are the longest serving members of the Islanders franchise. Yetman said he is pleased with how the team has played and excited about the present and the future.
"We've been definitely playing playoff hockey," he said, noting the franchise is heading in the right direction. "I'm happy I can be part of it."
Shawinigan, Saint John and Sherbrooke are battling for the final playoff spot.

Grand-Prix Demy-Cars/Grand-Prix Hotel Threeland LuxembourgReport courtesy Normon ThibaultWendy said that this race was a little different from the other `cross races that she has done so far. A very big road climb and then a very long downhill. Lots of mud on the downhill. The event has happened every year since 1948. She (Wendy) was pretty pumped with getting her first podium behind the current world champion but recognized that the event that the competition was not as strong as it has been at some of the other events so far. With 6 of 10 races done she does not now race for 8 days. The next race will be the World Cup in France.Wendy has been updating her blog (when she can) and it can be found at : www.wendysimms.blogspot.comBarb leaves tomorrow for home.Grand-Prix Demy-Cars
