Graig Nettles Biography
Retired baseball player, Graig Nettles, was born on August 20, 1944, in San Diego, California. Nettles was a third baseman and left-handed batter who played for the Minnesota Twins from 1967 to 1969, Cleveland Indians from 1970 to 1972, New York Yankees from 1973 to 1883, San Diego Padres from 1984 to 1986, Atlanta Braves in 1987 and Montreal Expos in 1988.
Graig Nettles was a home run-slugging third baseman with a good glove who played 22 years in the majors. Although thought by many to be a likely Hall of Famer partly because of the spectacular glovework he exhibited in some of the World Series games he appeared in, he got less than 10% of the vote in the years that the baseball writers voted on him.
Nettles broke in with the Minnesota Twins in 1967, and was part of the team that went from 7th in the American League in 1968 to first in the new AL Western Division in 1969. The 1969 team was managed by Billy Martin. Although Nettles showed promise at third base, he could not dislodge the Twins third baseman Harmon Killebrew, who hit 49 home runs that year.
Traded to the Cleveland Indians that winter in a major deal involving Dean Chance, Luis Tiant, and Stan Williams, Graig Nettles got a chance to play regularly from then on, and was rarely out of the lineup during the 1970s.
Nettles showed himself to be a home run hitter at a time when relatively few home runs were being hit. In 1971, his 28 home runs were good enough for 5th in the league, and in 1976 he led the league with 32 home runs. Although he hit over 30 home runs only twice in his career, he was among league leaders for home runs five times.
Moving to the New York Yankees in 1972 at the age of 28, he was to play with them for eleven years. He was a five-time All Star and two-time Gold Glove winner while playing with the Yanks. In 1977 and 1978, he finished 5th and then 6th in the MVP voting. He went to the World Series four times with them, winning twice. In the 1977 Series, he batted sixth or seventh in the lineup, while in the 1978 Series, he batted fifth or sixth in the lineup.
When he finally left the Yankees, Nettles moved to the first San Diego Padres team to go to the World Series, in 1984. He batted cleanup in the Series, behind Tony Gwynn and Steve Garvey.
Graig Nettles played three years with the Padres (named to the All-Star team in 1985), then closed out his career playing with the Atlanta Braves in 1987 at age 42, and with the Montreal Expos in 1988 at age 43.
It is no surprise that the most similar player to Nettles, using the similarity scores method, is Darrell Evans, another third baseman with a long career, a low batting average, copious home runs, and a good glove. Other third basemen that are seen as very similar to him by this method include Gary Gaetti, Ron Santo, Ron Cey, and Robin Ventura.
Graig Nettles was given the nickname of Puff by his teammates. "Puff" referred to the way Graig disappeared after playing a practical joke or starting trouble.
The brother of Jim Nettles, Graig Nettles managed and played alongside his brother for the St. Lucie Legends of the Senior Professional Baseball Association in 1989. He also played for the league's Bradenton Explorers. Nettles batted .301 and played in a total of 62 games; 10 for St. Lucie and 52 for Bradenton. His only experience of managing in the minor leagues was pretty disastrous however: he led the unaffiliated Bakersfield Blaze to a dreadful 39-101 record and last place in the 1996 California League. Nettles' son Jeff also played in the minors and currently plays for the Somerset Patriots of the independent Atlantic League.

Minority race homosexuals in Singapore
by Mr and Mrs Pussy
other day, Sheila was asking whether there is a gay Indian scene in Singapore.
Predictably, the response was poor, probably an indicator of disinterest. Today
Anne asked about why dark skin is at the bottom of the desirability stakes in
Singapore. All nationalities have positive and negative feelings about others.
Elderly Europeans haven't forgiven the Germans for two world wars; the Greeks
have few warm feelings towards the Turks, and so on. Equally, almost everybody
has sexual preferences involving physiognomy, size, weight, age and indeed,
race. But in Singaporean gay sexual politics, is racial preference largely
determined by society's deep rooted antipathies towards other races, which has
the effect of marginalising non-Chinese homosexual men and women?
We know what follows is a generalisation. It has to be. There is little research on homosexuality in Singapore; one has to rely on anecdotal evidence and one's own experience of belonging to a minority. We believe that negative feelings amongst the Chinese population as a whole towards minorities in Singapore, has influenced homosexual politics. There is no denying that in everyday life, Indians and Malays are stereotyped to an extent that is both derisive and insulting.
On the whole, for those of other races on the fringes of Chinese homosexual society, Singapore can be a lonely and frustrating place. Indians "smell of curry or hair oil", they are "black" and they are "hairy". Malays are likely to "ask you for money" fairly early in a relationship or "rip you off." They are "unreliable." Such stereotyping is not uncommon (it may be the norm) when Chinese homosexual Singaporeans are asked their sexual opinions of Indians and Malays. And while there will always be those who care about the person rather than the packaging, Chinese homosexuals are quick to point out that being black, hairy and Indian is a definite turn off. In the next breath many will say that they might consider a North Indian or Pakistani because they are "fairer".
Homosexual and bisexual Singapore Indians (the latter being far more numerous than the former) know this only too well since they suffer constant rejection by the Chinese. To counter this (and to save their pride) some Indians have internalised their own form of stereotyping the Chinese. It goes something like "the Chinese are short, hairless, and have small penises" the opposite of which Indians factor into their definition of maturity and masculinity. One might therefore imagine that a status quo has been reached. In fact, it is one race reacting to the stereotypes of the other dominant and ruling race.
The consequences of this polarisation for Chinese homosexuals are negligible. For Indians it is extremely significant. If, on the whole, the Chinese of your choice are out of reach because they don't want you or because you've internalised a pride-protecting mechanism, what choices do you have? Other Indians? No and yes. Because the Indian community in Singapore is small and cohesive (=kaypo) and because most Indian men who have sex with men also have wives and children, there is a marked reluctance to have sex with each other. Careless whispers and innuendo can lead to the destruction of marriage and family and ostracism from a tightly knit community. Of course, there are thousands of Indian and Bangladeshi migrant workers in Singapore who must count as potential sex partners for local Indians. They do have sex with each other, but on the whole the latter view themselves as having little in common with poor migrant workers. This is not true for Indians from JB and Malaysia and Indian immigrants newly arrived to write your software or run your polymer production plant, since they are educated and culturally, have more in common. In fact, there is quite a lot of coupling between Singapore and JB homosexual Indians since there are few marriage ties between the two communities and because both need to find partners outside their own communities. But, there is no getting away from the fact that many Indian homosexuals live in a sexual limbo, reluctant to cruise, spurned by the Chinese and not willing to risk losing everything by teaming up with a local Indian. This then is one consequence of negative stereotyping of an entire race in Singapore.
Malays do not suffer as much as Indians for the obvious reason that the majority of them are neither "black, hairy or brylcreemed". They have a definite constituency amongst Chinese homosexuals who in a positive light (or double whammy?) describe them as "clean" or "light skinned". Nonetheless, the impression that Malays are after your money or possessions and therefore untrustworthy, is not uncommon. Malays though, have fewer problems finding sex partners amongst themselves in Singapore and Malaysia. They can count on a reservoir of Chinese too.
But like Indians, Malays perceive a welcome (certainly not cold rejection) from caucasians. And this has created another perception amongst the Chinese that Malays (if they think of them at all) are gold diggers, looking for sugar daddies in East/West bars such as Vincent's Lounge. But then is it not a widely held opinion among Chinese homosexuals who eschew Vincent's, that anybody who goes there is a sweet young gold digger looking for a benefactor?
The Chinese/Caucasian debate on Signel, has mostly been hostile to the Caucasian. He is the "transgressor" seducing our "young Chinese youth". It's unclear if this is xenophobia, superiority, racial stereotyping or plain jealousy. But it's obvious that if Chinese homosexuals have a preference other than themselves, Caucasians come far higher up the list than Indians and Malays. It's true that Caucasians in Singapore run after the Chinese. But this is not surprising given that they are the most visible and accessible homosexual majority, owning and patronising all the watering holes. Anyway, what's the point of being posted to Singapore if your preference is for your own kind or Zulus?
Do Indian lesbians suffer in the same way as Indian gay men? We don't know but are sure somebody will enlighten us.
Finally, to return to Sheila. There is a vibrant and rather public cruising culture for young Indians, mostly unmarried, in Singapore. Around Seranagoon Road from Teka market to Mustafa's, are bus stops, toilets, quiet side streets, a bar and boutiques where cruising and sex takes place. On the whole, Indians cannot take their tricks home. Some rent rooms by the hour in shabby Serangoon hotels. More common are public couplings and group sex in dark corners, especially where redevelopment is taking place. For a cooler cruise, there is a favourite shopping centre in Selegie Road. A very few of the younger, better educated set, might venture to Fort Road beach.
The plaza in front of Mustafas always looks like a disorganised South Asian summit with Hindi, Sinhala, Urdu, Persian, Bangla, Nepali, Burmese and Mongolian speakers shouting to be heard. Within this chaos, there is heavy cruising though to the untrained eye and ear, you'd never know. Nepalis pair up with Mongolians and Burmese, Pakistanis take anything that's fuckable, Bengalis look for Bengalis. Some of the boys are rough trade. Most of this happens from 10pm with the focus gradually shifting to 24hour kopitiams in nearby lanes. Not many local Indians dare to be seen in the Plaza. The married ones will venture to a favourite bar, but they get their contacts on the phone and through friends, sometimes the family Hindu priest. The transvestite prostitutes behind Desker road always attract a large, non-local, Indian presence. Just look for the gawking crowd of lungi-wallahs near the cigarette stall, and you're there. Here, there is little stigma to be seen ogling transvestites because they are "honourary women" as opposed to "gundus" or "kothis".
Is there anything else you'd like to know?

The University of Maine Museum of Art extended their lease in Downtown Bangor to stay in their current location in Norumbega hall for another 17 years.
The deal was approved by the UMaine System Board of Trustees in May.
The Museum moved there in 2002.
The Bangor City Council penned a letter of support for the deal.
The Museum holds art camp for kids in the summer, and changes their shows every couple of months and provides 14-to-16 exhibitions a year.
The goal is to be the arts museum for the entire region.
"Our role is to expose the community to new art forms that they may not typically be able to see here in Maine and bring those significant artists in and that's really an important role of the University and the University Land Grant Mission of service and community engagement so the downtown location certainly extends the University's reach," said George Kinghorn, the Director & Curator of the UMaine Museum of Art.
This season a grant provides free admission to the Museum.
The new lease went into effect July 1st and will last until June 30th, 2031.

Genre: Fantasy
Number of Pages: 400
What's the basic story line?
Princess Charlotte Augusta Joanna Hortense, otherwise known as Charlie, lives in the make-believe land of Quale. Ever since her mother vanished and her father went mad, Charlie has been leading an unsupervised life. Quale is in the midst of a recession, and rumors of coming revolts and a possible attack by a neighboring kingdom are whispered throughout the land. If only her mother, the queen, would show up, everything would be alright. When Charlie finds a scribbled note from her mother stuck in a book, it is the first clue that things are about to change. With the help of Tobias, the gardener's assistant, she begins the search for her mother.
Were the characters believable?
Yes, the characters were very believable. Though the story takes place in a make-believe country, everything else is pretty much realistic. Charlie is a regular 11-year-old, playing tricks on others and dressing like a kid, not a princess. All of the other characters seem realistic for the time period.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), how would you rate this book?
I would rate this book a big 10! I could not put it down until I had read it twice. The author does a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat with lots of laughs, mysteries and great adventures. I would definitely recommend this book to someone who wants castles, adventures, suspense and mysteries all in one.

A bankruptcy attorney can help you manage personal or business debts you are unable to pay. Bankruptcy laws allow people and businesses to (1) get a "fresh start" by relieving most debts; and (2) repay the money owed to all creditors as fairly as possible. When you file for bankruptcy protection, all other legal actions against you are put on hold. Creditors cannot sue you, garnish your wages, repossess your car or home entertainment system, or start or continue with a foreclosure action against your home. There are different types of bankruptcy filings and each has its own advantages. Since bankruptcy can significantly impact your future purchasing power and credit rating, you should see a bankruptcy attorney to make sure the benefits of filling bankruptcy outweigh the consequences.

Video: Claude Julien after Bruins morning skate Thursday
|10.28.10 at 12:58 pm ET
Claude Julien had plenty of media on hand for his press conference Thursday from both the Boston and Toronto outlets. The Maple Leafs are in town as Phil Kessel tries to notch his first goal against his former club, while Tyler Seguin, a player chosen with one of the picks received in the Kessel deal, will play against the team he grew up rooting for. Seguin grew up in Brampton, Ontario, about 40 minutes away from Toronto.
"I am not going to stand back here and deny that this is a pretty special game for Tyler. … I mean his emotions are going to be running high tonight, there is no doubt about that," Julien said of the second overall pick in June's draft. "There's a certain extent that [if] you see that as becoming an issue, you've got to address it, but heis a pretty level-headed individual that's been able to handle situations pretty well so far and I don't see it being an issue tonight."
Asked by a Finnish reporter about the team's goaltending situation, Julien adressed it as such: "Plain and simple, I don't have a No. 2 goalie. That's the dilemma I have right now. I don't have a backup. I have two No. 1's."

|Claude Julien on underdog role vs. Penguins: 'Bring it on'
|05.28.13 at 2:03 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Claude Julien has instilled a certain attitude with his Bruins.
Play fearless hockey in the playoffs and see what happens.
That's why he was happy to hear how Tuukka Rask responded when asked about the big load he will carry into the series against the high-powered Penguins in the Eastern Conference finals.
Rask said that he expects to carry a big load and always goes into a series thinking he is the best goalie. That attitude also matches what the experts are saying. If the Bruins are going to have a chance of upsetting the Penguins, Rask will need to play to his level and maybe above.
Rask is considered by all experts as the superior netminder in this series, far and above the likes of Tomas Vokoun and Marc-Andre Fleury.
"I think he answered it right because I'm one of those guys where you have to relish the challenges," Julien said Tuesday as the Bruins returned to the ice as a team for the first time since eliminating the Rangers on Saturday evening. "You can't fear them. Bring it on. And that's what he's telling you right now, 'Bring it on. I'm ready for it.' That's what our whole team's demeanor is going to be is like, 'Hey, we know it's a big challenge. Bring it on.' We're ready for it. We'll give it everything we have and hopefully, that'll be enough to win a series.
"I think there's two teams here that know what's at stake. They're going to bring their best at us, and we're hopefully going to do the same thing to them. And we know how we play and we know how they play and it's going to be a matter of just seeing how it pans out."
Bruins forward Shawn Thornton joined Dennis & Callahan on Tuesday morning and previewed the B's Eastern Conference finals series against the Penguins, talked up "underhyped" goalie Tuukka Rask and revealed that he received a congratulatory text message from former teammate Tim Thomas after Game 3 vs. the Rangers.
The Bruins return to practice Tuesday following two days off since dispatching the Rangers in Game 5 on Saturday night, preparing for what is expected to be a much tougher test from the top-seeded Penguins.
"They're a pretty deep group up front, that's for sure," Thornton said. "They've got guys like Brenden Morrow on their fourth line. That's some pretty good players back there. So, yeah, they're a force to be reckoned with up front."
Added Thornton: "I know there's a lot of hype with the guys we're playing against, and rightfully so, they're great players. It's always kind of the Sidney Crosby show wherever he goes. He's the face of the league and he's probably the best player in the game. You can't get caught looking at that. We have to worry about what's going on in our locker room, like we did last series with the Rangers and the series before with Toronto. You can't really worry about what's going on outside. We've got to play our game if we want to be successful. '¦ You get caught just trying to react to what they're doing, you'll get caught with your pants down. They're a dangerous team."
Asked if Crosby is the best player he's played against, Thornton said: "Yeah, I'd say, all-around. There's not much he doesn't do well. He competes hard. Not only how skilled he is, his compete level is right up there. He never seems to take a night off. I think that's part of the reason why he's so good. "
Thornton said there are no hard feelings toward Jarome Iginla after the veteran forward chose Pittsburgh over Boston at the trade deadline.
"No, I don't care," Thornton said. "He made a decision based on his personal opinion. He has a no-trade, he's entitled to that. He earned it. He played a lot of great years in Calgary for that right. As a player, you can't really fault him for it."

|Claude Julien gives Tuukka Rask green light to 'start laughing' about Game 4 miscue
|05.26.13 at 1:30 am ET
For all the great saves Henrik Lundqvist made on the Bruins throughout Game 5 Saturday at TD Garden, the one save that will be remembered the longest is the one made by Tuukka Rask on Rangers captain Ryan Callahan on a breakaway with just over 11 minutes left in the third period.
The Bruins were clinging to a 2-1 lead as Callahan was fed on a break through the neutral zone and had a clear path toward Rask. The Bruins goalie made the save, and Boston's lead stood up in a 3-1 win over the Rangers in the clinching Game 5.
"Well, our goalie coach [Bob Essensa] told me after, I think it was Game 1 when he scored on that breakaway, that he never goes backhand," Rask said. "So I was banking on him shooting and keeping it on the forehand. But he went backhand, and I just extended my leg and blocker there and made the save."
Rask had faced just 17 shots through two periods before facing 12 in the third, including Callahan's.
"That's just staying mentally sharp," Rask said. "But you have to know something is going to happen, and they're going to throw everything they could at you and going to try to get that change to tie the game. You know, today it happened to be a breakaway and I just wanted to make one or two big saves in the third and hopefully keep that lead. And today we succeeded."
|Tuukka Rask on butt stumble: 'Some days it sucks to be a goalie'
|05.24.13 at 5:04 pm ET
New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez gave us the "Butt Fumble" against the Patriots last Thanksgiving. Tuukka Rask gave us the "Butt Stumble" right across the Hudson River from MetLife Stadium Thurday night.
Say this much for Rask: He has a lot of patience with repetitive questions from reporters and he has a good sense of humor.
Both were on display Friday after practice at TD Garden as he was peppered with more questions about Thursday's "Butt Stumble on Broadway" and the Bruins losing Game 4 in overtime just like they did three years ago when the collapse began in Philadelphia.
"I don't even want to compare," Rask said when asked whether the bizarre loss in overtime in Game 4 Thursday night reminded him of 2010. "It's a totally different team. We beat Philly out the next year, 4-0. We won the Cup. Lots of things have happened. As we've said all along, we don't like to look in the past or too much ahead. We like to live in the moment and focus on the task."
And as for the blooper of all hockey bloopers this season?
"I think you either decide to cry about it or have a sense of humor about it and that's it," Rask said. "You just have to move on. You let in goals and at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what kind of goals you let in, it's still a goal. Some days it sucks to be a goalie."
Rask lost an edge and fell backwards in the second period Thursday night, allowing Carl Hagelin's weak backhander to slide past him and into the net to cut Boston's 2-0 lead in half.
"Yeah, I saw it. I saw it many times in my head, too," Rask said. "I mean, you can either cry about it or laugh about it and I decided it's better to have a sense of humor and laugh about it. Tough break, those happen. But to be honest, I think throughout the years I've been pretty good in making those 'Not-so Top 10 lists' so there we are again."
Enough of the funny business. As for the serious business of getting ready for Game 5 Saturday night, Rask said he liked what he saw at the 30-minute up-tempo practice Friday at TD Garden.
"Absolutely," Rask said. "It's been a few days since we had a full team practice on an off day and today we just want to make everybody's minds are in the right place and we're making crisp passes and executing the plays and keeping it short and sharp, and that's what it was."
Does he wish he could play right away and not wait until Saturday?
"No, no. I'll take my rest," Rask said.
|Pierre McGuire on M&M: 'Virtually impossible play' for Dougie Hamilton on game-ending goal
|at 2:01 pm ET
NBC Sports hockey analyst Pierre McGuire joined Mut & Merloni on Friday to offer his take on the Bruins' mistake-prone 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 4.
McGuire said that despite Thursday's loss, the Bruins have no reason to be overly concerned.
"The Rangers can talk about coming back and getting back in this series. It's still 3-1. You're going back to Boston for Game 5. And the Rangers should have lost that game last night," McGuire said. "The Boston Bruins were full of self-inflicted wounds. … Whether it's Tuukka Rask falling down, Tuukka and Zdeno Chara not communicating properly, Chara being lackadaisical with the puck. But also give credit where credit's due: Henrik Lundqvist was phenomenal, especially in overtime.
"So, stuff's going to happen in a playoff series. You can't overreact to it. You move along, you play Game 5 and you do a good job in front of your fan base."
McGuire said he was impressed with how the Bruins started Thursday's game, and surprised at the Rangers' performance.
"The Rangers had nothing going on," he said. "The first period I was shocked. The shots were 12-4 and I was absolutely shocked at how the Rangers were playing. Jaromir Jagr in particular really had a sense of urgency to start that game. You could see the Bruins were jumping. They were good. They were ready to play."
Added McGuire: "I'm telling you guys straight up: People are underplaying how deep Boston is and how good Boston is. And the Rangers don't match up particularly well with Boston. That's just the reality because they don't have the same kind of offensive depth, especially down the middle, as they have in Boston. That's a big problem. You compound that with the Chara factor and with the [Johnny] Boychuk factor in terms of size. You've got some very big defensemen. Whatever offensive press you might have if you're New York, it gets shut down pretty quick."
Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton was beaten on the game-winning goal when Chris Kreider redirected a pass from Rick Nash past Rask in overtime. McGuire said Hamilton was in a tough spot.
"That play, by the way, you've got numbers back, you're in a good position," McGuire said. "I will say this, and I'm not trying to be overly defensive of the young player: You tell me, in this new NHL, what Hamilton's supposed to do against a player that's 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, and can skate as fast as almost anybody in the league. That is a virtually impossible play. It's a beautiful pass by Nash. And the only thing Hamilton could have done — and if he's a little bit older, maybe he does do — he takes a penalty. … Because that is an unbelievably difficult play to defend. Because of the size of the man attacking the net, because of the speed of the man attacking the net, and because of the precision of the pass made by Rick Nash. That's an unbelievable pass by Nash and a great finish by Kreider. This is something he'll learn over time. In that situation you may just take a penalty. Just tackle the guy as he goes to the net."
NESN Bruins analyst Andy Brickley, in an interview with Mut & Merloni on Friday, talked about the B's letdown that cost them Game 4 against the Rangers.
Of the Bruins' many mistakes Thursday night, Brickley said Tuukka Rask's slip-up that allowed New York's first goal was the biggest.
"The absolute critical moment in the game was the goal that Rask let in, the first goal of the game for the Rangers," Brickley said. "Think about the situation: This is a knockout game, you have nothing going in terms of any kind of offensive attack — I think they had somewhere between seven, eight or nine shots on goal; maybe two quality scoring chances — down 2-0, the building's dead, there's no signs of believability from the New York Rangers. Then [Carl] Hagelin's little backhander eludes Tuukka Rask in a stumble. That was the absolute most critical point in the hockey game because all of a sudden the Rangers started to believe that they had a chance."
Brickley also took issue with the officiating Thursday.
Said Brickley: "You knew you were in trouble when [Roman] Hamrlik gets the first penalty — that's black and white, no-brainer, over the glass, delay of game. Then the next penalty comes to [Matt] Bartkowski. He gets locked up with [Ryan] Callahan. Callahan punches him in the head when they're in separation. Bartkowski gives him a love tap to say, Hey, I'm aware of what just happened, and he's the only one that gets the minor penalty. I said, Oh, this is going to be a tough night for me to analyze these officials and say that this is going to be OK. And you can even throw the [Jaromir] Jagr penalty in there — how late did that arm go up after the crowd reaction when he was trying to protect the puck in the neutral zone.
"I had my problems with the officiating. Can it be better? Absolutely. But it is what it is, and you've got to play through it."
Another questionable decision came when Rangers forward Derick Brassard threw down his stick and gloves in hopes of fighting Brad Marchand, only to see Marchand skate away.
"I thought Brassard deserved a penalty in that situation," Brickley said. "Marchand doing his job, getting under his skin. But I've seen it both ways. These are judgment calls."
Dougie Hamilton was beaten on the game-winning goal by Chris Kreider. Brickley said how the 19-year-old defenseman responds will tell us a lot about his future.
"There was some good from Dougie last night and some not so good," Brickley said. "On that game-winning goal, he's not out of position. It's a two-on-two and he's fronting Kreider. He tries to get his stick right around the top of the circle knowing — and you heard the sound bite, he said, 'I knew exactly where he was going and what he was going to do.' But he didn't get his stick. And when he tried a second time to get it, it was too late and he allowed Kreider to get that inside position. It was a well-executed play, but the microscope is on him because it's the game-winner."
Added Brickley: "These are good lessons for a young player. You have to have the heartache and the disappointment in order to reach the levels that you expect to reach as a professional athlete. These are the growing pains that are good to experience. It's how you bounce back that determines your character."
|Barry Pederson on D&C: 'The Bruins are going to need a lot more intensity from their leaders'
|at 10:20 am ET
NESN Bruins analyst Barry Pederson joined Dennis & Callahan on Friday to examine the B's mistake-prone effort that cost them Game 4 vs. the Rangers.
Tuukka Rask had the most glaring error when he fell and let the Rangers break through with a cheap goal that cut the B's lead to 2-1 in the second period.
"It's one thing to give up a goal and kind of keep momentum. But the way that goal went in, with Tuukka falling flat on his butt and the puck going in, in one of the softer goals we've seen, that kind of started to change momentum," Pederson said. "And then once [Zdeno] Chara gave up the other one it was as if kind of the floodgates opened up a little bit.
"But the Rangers still didn't show me a lot last night. '¦ It's up to the Bruins. The Bruins are going to need a lot more intensity from their leaders. It wasn't only Tuukka that I thought lost his concentration — because of probably lack of action — but also I didn't think Chara, [Milan] Lucic and [David] Krejci, the three leaders that they've had so far this playoffs, I didn't think they were nearly as intense as they had been. And that's what makes it hard to win four games in a row. It's not only the team that you're playing is usually a little bit more desperate and playing with pride. It's also the fact that you kind of let up a little bit."
Added Pederson: "The Bruins just weren't as intense and as focused as they need to be as a team. '¦ You had the opportunity, you just let it slip through your fingers."
Pederson said he was surprised at the effort — or lack thereof — from the Rangers.
"I didn't see much at all from the Rangers last night that tells me, Oh, boy, this offensive juggernaut now all of a sudden is going to click; here they go. I thought it was a situation where the Bruins totally dominated the first part of that hockey game. I was shocked again at the end of the first period at how bad the New York Rangers looked. And then once the Bruins took that 2-0 lead I kind of felt like it was over and that the Bruins had complete control of this because the Rangers hadn't showed us anything up to that point.
"So, the Bruins have to come home and be ready Saturday night right from the open, give the Rangers a reason to not show up. They have to bring that intensity level that they showed earlier on. I'm kind of counting on that, I think."

Gig Alert: LP
"Into The Wild"
Playing on Wednesday at Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette St., East Village)
Get: Tickets ($15) | Directions
You may have heard songs by the L.A.-based singer-songwriter LP even it's your first time hearing her sing. The Long Island native, who was born Laura Pergolizzi, has penned hits for Rihanna ("Cheers To That") and Christina Aguilera ("Beautiful People"), among others. And while those noteworthy writing credits may get her a few glances, it's really when LP hits the soaring notes in songs like Beyonce's "Halo" and in her own tune, "Into The Wild," which is available for download above, that people stop and stare.
LP inherited her sweet, powerful chops from her mother (an opera singer) and wields the instrument with assured familiarity of a seasoned musician. On "Halo," her voice trills and undulates as it swoops through the pop ballad.
Watch LP perform "Into The Wild" and check her out live at Joe's Pub on Wednesday night.

Jerry Springer has been to London - not to visit the Queen but to meet himself. He approved of what he saw.
"It's unbelievable," the talk show host said of Hollywood actor Michael Brandon's portrayal of him in the loud-mouthed and profane Jerry Springer - The Opera.
The host of one of America's most lurid talk shows, which has been screened on 100 US television stations and in more than 20 countries, said of Brandon: "He has the real physical sense of me."
Brandon, who achieved fame as a brash cop in the hit 1980s TV series Dempsey and Makepeace, joined Springer at a news conference to mark the opera's West End premiere in London.
Springer, who first saw the opera, by British composer Richard Thomas, at last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, confessed: "It was physically uncomfortable. It is hard to sit in the theatre and have people turning round and looking at you."
The man who brought to television such programs as "Pregnant by a Transsexual" and "Here Come the Hookers" insisted that he was not to blame for dumbing down television.
"It is impossible to dumb down television. I am not that talented," he said, arguing that his show was so shocking to Americans because it showed life outside the mainstream.
"American television reflects one perspective - upper middle class, white America. The shock with my show was - 'Oh, my God, we are seeing different people on TV who we are not used to seeing.'
"Our show is about people who are outside the mainstream. It is nothing to do with dumbing down," he said.
The opera by Thomas and lyricist Stewart Lee is delightfully unsuitable for children. Foul language abounds - even if it is sung beautifully - and the plot lines are lurid.
Audiences can watch a nappy fetishist confess all to his true love and catch a dance routine by the Ku Klux Klan.
They see a corpulent lover tell his future bride that he is sleeping with her best friend as well as a transvestite. Jesus and the Devil in a swearing tirade is a mere aside.
For the writers of this outrageous opera, nothing succeeds like excess as they hail the talk show host they label "ringmaster to the retards".
For Thomas, opera was the ideal format: "It's got tragedy. It's got violence. There are people screaming at each other and you can't understand what they're saying. It's perfect for opera."

U-Hi administrators destroy papers carrying column
Wed., April 14, 2010, 4:01 p.m.
Most copies of the student newspaper at University High School in the Central Valley School District have been confiscated and destroyed by school officials after offensive remarks appeared in what was meant to be a light-hearted column.
"I didn't feel it was appropriate at all," Principal Daryl Hart said Wednesday.
The April 9 edition of the Mercury contained a question-and-answer column in which reporters asked students, "If you could be famous for anything, what would you be famous for?"
The answers included "Killing someone famous," "Mass murderer," "Having an affair with the president," "Dropping a nuke on the Middle East," "Killing the president with a trident," "Leader of the KKK" and "Being JFK's assassin."
Hart said the school has a zero-tolerance policy regarding such remarks and is investigating the responders' states of mind to make sure there was no serious intent to the remarks.
No decision has been regarding disciplinary action.
Student editors Danny Bush and Tyler Pursch said neither of them noticed the remarks before the paper went to press. The staff of three at the Mercury put the paper together at the end of the second trimester — a stressful time for most students.
"This has been a learning experience," Bush said.

Stockton Man Killed in Deputy-Involved Accident
A sheriff's deputy from San Joaquin County is on administrative leave after hitting and killing someone with a sheriff's department vehicle this morning.
The deputy is part of a special unit with the San Joaquin Sheriff's Department and the van he was driving is unmarked.
"We've invoked a multi-agency protcol investigation which involves the district attorney's office, our office, as well as the Stockton Police Department," San Joaquin County Sheriff's spokesman Les Garcia said.
Garcia says the deputy was on duty at the time, but won't say what his assignment was.
The victim was an older man who was in the street at the time of the accident.
Garcia says there is no crosswalk at the intersection where this happened.
It's expected the deputy will return from the paid leave in three days.

Strategy Live provides affordable, turn-key, cloud-based software solutions for trucking and freight brokerage operations, focusing on small- to mid-sized transportation companies. Rand McNally's TND™ 760 device will provide truck location, driver availability and other key metrics to enable efficient management of dispatch and other operations areas. According to Dave Stevens, Vice President of Strategy Systems, integration with Rand McNally's solution was driven by customer requests. Strategy Systems had already completed integration with other mobile fleet management providers, but the company and several of its current customers were particularly interested in the TND™ 760 because of its low cost of ownership, ease of installation, and driver experience. " Rand McNally's solution supports our commitment to delivering low cost, fast ROI solutions to our small and mid-sized transportation companies who have all the same challenges as the larger companies do in running a profitable business," stated Stevens. "The devices are also a benefit to the driver, allowing efficient communication with the home office, as well as to the company by providing any vehicle's location at all times in the process." Transport 1, an 85-truck carrier delivering high-security, time-sensitive pharmaceuticals has adopted the combination of Strategy Live and TND™ 760 solutions as part of its technology investment strategy. "We've found the addition of the TND 760 to our Strategy Systems product to be very easy, both for the company and the drivers," said Stanley Shadden, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Operations, Transport 1.

how long do himalayan live

Himalayans and persians have the same life span as any other cat. They may start to become "elderly" at 12 or 13 but can live anywhere from 15 to 20 years depending on how well taken care of they are. I had this same question myself when I first got mine because my friend's vet misinformed her and said hers was at the end of her lifespan at 12. I got info from several breeders and himalayan/persian rescue people and several people told me that they had one that was as old as 18.
Allie answered on 10/3/08. Helpful? / 0
Alexandra is right. If you buy your kitty from a reputable breeder, take good care of your kitty, meaning if you take her to the doctor's regularly for check-ups and do what they tell you, have her spayed if you do not plan to breed her, keep her inside, feed her a good quality of food (not necessarily the most expensive), love her and treat her like the valued, important member of your family that she is, then she can live upwards of 15-20 years. Any breed of cat or dog may have diseases or conditions that are specific to their breed, kind of like the larger breeds of dogs can be prone to a disease called "hip displaysia", but with regular vet care, your cat's chances of suffering from one of these conditions can be greatly reduced.

The Himalayan I grew up with died a couple years ago, at the age of 23! He got really skinny in his old age and his coat wasn't as pretty as when he was young, but he was still a wonderful cat and a purr machine.

Date of Stay: August, 2009
Camped in site 69 which is one of the few wooded sites: you have 4 crab apple trees from which to tent. The singage is hard to find, and you are behind 2 other site, but the privacy is nice. Not really room for RV or trailer, but for tenting and hammock camping, this is a nice spot. A bit of a walk to the comfort station (flush), but a few pots nearby.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
We stayed in site #33 which is not suitable for trailers but great for medium size tent and hammocks. Some construction on site #32, so we had lots of privacy. Nearby comfort station was OK. Staff was friendly at check-in and allowed us to roam to find a good site. Key is to get in at check-in time in case you don't like the initial site. They are very accommodating
Date of Stay: July, 2009
Sites are more packed in than in Cheticamp, we had some trouble finding a suitable sized site for our 2 hammocks. Eventually we found site #213 which was great. There were no issues with staff when our original site was not acceptable to find a new one. Getting there early at check-in allows minimum issues. We didn't explore the 1-100 sites, maybe they are better, but we found that 200-250 were tight.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
Stayed in Loop B site 37. This loop feel a lot different from Loop A, maybe it's the distance between sites, or tree cover, but once we were setup, we were comfortable. This is defenitely not a place for groups to enjoy a weekend since quiet hours are STRICTLY enforced. couples & small families however would enjoy this campground. Facilities were great. Showers are just outside the park on route 3, which was 1.50$ for 4 minutes.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
We tented on site 58 for 2 nights. during the week, this park is VERY quiet with not many campers, however as Friday came the park filled up. Due to large sites, you did not feel crowded and still managed to enjoy yourself. We opted for an open site, there are many water spigots to fill up or get dishes done. RV's might need to "rough it" however, the park is worth it for privacy & sound Spotty GSM cell reception, satellite radio was no problem.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
Stayed overnight on site #46, which seemed to be the only one with a sandbox area for the tent. This was a medium sized site about a car width from the road. The tree coverage is moderate, so you can't see the other sites around you. It is a short walk to the bathhouse, which was pretty nice for facilities. Bundles of wood were 5$ and was a generous bundle. They provide a small wagon to carry it to your site. I reserved beforehand, and check in was 2 min. Most sites are level, but not all, but last row of sites facing the water seemed to be the best of the bunch. I would give this park a return visit.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
Almost exact review as previous - couldn't get any better experience. We tented on site 174, we found this loop to have very nice sites. The majority of the sites closer to the river (serviced & non) are also very nice. Didn't have any language issues with staff nor with other campers. We would rate this park a little higher than Fundy National Park due to activities, rentals, trails, beach. Facilities were excellent. Spotty GSM cell phone reception, couldn't get any FM or AM, however, satellite radio reception was no problem. This is a very quiet campground due to trees between sites.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
We stayed on site #13 along Bayview rd (or the oceanfront section). This is the section where you want to be at. It overlooks the bay, Maine and all boat traffic coming in & out. This is a mostly RV park with a significant number of seasonals, however, the best RV sites are available for travelers. The tent sites at the back looked nice (we will return to tent later this year), however most are small. They do stack the RV's up close, but with proper parking skills you will have space. There is nothing for kids at the park, and the facilities are quite a walk from the tent site. The showers were cleaner than the flushes, Hot water on the women's side was hit & miss around mid-morning. Walking to town and the oceanfront makes this a return visit.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
Hidden gem within the provincial park system. This is about 20 kms from Windsor, NS which allows you to do quick supply runs and from there only a 10 min drive to Wolfville. GSM cell phone reception is spotty but you can make a call once you find a signal. Most of the sites are open, but wooded areas are 13-17, 25-45 provide heavy shade. Sites 50-86 are the closest to the flush & showers which are well maintained. As with most provincial parks, the sites are very wide. There are a couple of swimming spots along the river within the park.
Date of Stay: June, 2008
Stayed on site #32. Can't believe how much space there is on each site. The extra space between sites is appreciated considering the lack of tree cover. The Alcohol Ban is in effect, but not an issue. The campground is quiet, deathly quiet at night. If you are looking for a nice quiet park, this is the place. Dogs & kids have lots of green space to play at the front of the park. The park is undergoing a forest regeneration project, so they cut down many of the dead spruce trees and is replacing them with a traditional Acadian Forest mix. However, the cleared areas provides great views of coastline. The park is also planning some major upgrades in the next few years. Facilities are top notch, the showers were HOT and clean. The online reservation is painless and check-in takes 2 minutes. This park will be a top destination in a few years once all the projects are completed.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
We arrived late on Saturday so assumed we got offered what was left. However, was very satisfied with the site. Facilities were excellent. Pay showers are located off-site at campground entrance along route 3. 1.25$ for 4min, 2.50$ for 8min. Space between sites was good and check in was fast and painless. Don't think there are any bad sites here. Will stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
We hit the campground at a good time, the place was empty before the labor day rush. We picked a shaded site and enjoyed the quietest stays ever. Washrooms were excellent, staff was efficient and friendly. Sites were spacious. 13 min by car from freeport center. They've re-paved most of the sections leading up to the campground. We will stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Didn't make reservations as we drove back from Cape Breton. Found a good spot along the pull-thru sites. We stayed for 2 nights. This is our 3rd year coming to this location. While a little far from Halifax, still not a bad campground.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Compared to other National Parks in the region (Fundy or Keji), this is the least appealing in terms of lot size, age of facilities. Check in early since you might need to change site, we were originally assigned site 32 but it was terrible, got a new site no problem. The key is early to beat out the crowd since the site fills up. For tenting, sites 50-100 offers plenty of shade and nice lots, picnic tables are cement and un-movable. This poses some problems since some sites are small and moving the table would help, but alas. We did see a few 32' rigs in these sites. The general trailer sites down by the information center is typical setup, in the open all lined up. No GSM phone service (CDMA is ok) fuel is limited. Radio and TV is also limited (maybe 1 of each). Satellite radio or TV is possible. Showers and washrooms were clean and the water was hot. Had a pleasant stay overall, the scenery is worth it.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
We were in site #129 & 130 for 3 nights. This was in one of the northern loops as seen in the campground map. Very good tree cover. Short walks to 2 bathrooms/showers which were spotless. Spacious sites. On our second night, the campground was full (Friday night). You saw more traffic, but overall noise was ok. Quiet time was respected by all. Check-in process is painless. Short drive to Alma makes refuelling of supplies quick, but very busy during peak hours.

Combinational Reasoning of Quantitative Fuzzy Topological Relations for Simple Fuzzy Regionsdx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0117379
|In recent years, formalization and reasoning of topological relations have become a hot topic as a means to generate knowledge about the relations between spatial objects at the conceptual and geometrical levels. These mechanisms have been widely used in spatial data query, spatial data mining, evaluation of equivalence and similarity in a spatial scene, as well as for consistency assessment of the topological relations of multi-resolution spatial databases. The concept of computation...
A Generalized Topological Entropy for Analyzing the Complexity of DNA Sequencesdx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0088519
|Topological entropy is one of the most difficult entropies to be used to analyze the DNA sequences, due to the finite sample and high-dimensionality problems. In order to overcome these problems, a generalized topological entropy is introduced. The relationship between the topological entropy and the generalized topological entropy is compared, which shows the topological entropy is a special case of the generalized entropy. As an application the generalized topological entropy in int...
An Atlas of Network Topologies Reveals Design Principles for Caenorhabditis elegans Vulval Precursor Cell Fate Patterningdx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0131397
|The vulval precursor cell (VPC) fate patterning in Caenorhabditis elegans is a classic model experimental system for cell fate determination and patterning in development. Despite its apparent simplicity (six neighboring cells arranged in one dimension) and many experimental and computational efforts, the patterning strategy and mechanism remain controversial due to incomplete knowledge of the complex biology. Here, we carry out a comprehensive computational analysis and obtain a rese...
Discordance of Species Trees with Their Most Likely Gene Treesdx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.0020068
|Because of the stochastic way in which lineages sort during speciation, gene trees may differ in topology from each other and from species trees. Surprisingly, assuming that genetic lineages follow a coalescent model of within-species evolution, we find that for any species tree topology with five or more species, there exist branch lengths for which gene tree discordance is so common that the most likely gene tree topology to evolve along the branches of a species tree differs from th...

These people (Accepted Financial Services) accepted my loan request. All paperwork (Truth-In-Lending) signed and filed. It being a secured loan, asked for $630.00 up front (CIP-Standard) put on Green Dot cards with no Visa/Mastercard insignia. The most you can put on one card is $500.00 so I had to get 2@ $4.95 each.
Their words: "We Have Completed The Review Of Your Loan Agreement And Supporting Documents And Are Ready To Release Your Loan".
Then they came back and said on second look additional information was found to warrent a stop payment on the loan and that it would require a (CIP-FULL) $1,012.00 or co-signer.
I e-mailed back that it would take two weeks before I could come up with more money and had no co-signer and that I was extremely upset as they had approved it in the first place with full disclosier on my part from the begining. He agreed that this was so and that he would see what he could do.
Since then he (Keith Lawson) won't answer my calls or e-mail me back. They have also not refunded my money, $639.90.

Scandal-Plagued Grimm Is Congressman-elect Collins' New Mentor
After only a few days in Washington, Congressman-elect Chris Collins (NY-27) is already making friends with all the wrong people. According to today's Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Congressman-elect Collins has picked up a new congressional mentor: scandal-plagued Congressman Michael Grimm (NY-11), who is currently the subject of multiple federal investigations.
"It's no surprise that Congressman-elect Chris Collins has chosen one of the most corrupt members of Congress as his mentor after only a few days in Washington," said Josh Schwerin, Northeast Press Secretary at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "After dealing with his own scandals for years in Erie County, there's no one better to show Chris Collins how to do the same in Washington than a scandal-plagued congressman who is currently under investigation by the FBI."
Grimm Is Collins' "Mentor." On November 16, 2012, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reported that Michael Grimm has been Collins' "leading mentor in making the transition" to Congress. [Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, 11/16/12]
Grimm Named One Of Congress' Most Corrupt. In September 2011, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington named Grimm to their list of the most corrupt members of Congress. [Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, accessed 9/22/11]
FBI Investigating Grimm's Campaign Fundraising. "The FBI has questioned at least four people who worked on Congressman Michael Grimm's 2010 campaign as part of its ongoing probe into allegations the Tea Party favorite took illegal election donations. […] The four, either campaign operatives and volunteers, were questioned in the past two weeks. In one case, the interview was conducted by a federal tag team that included an Assistant U.S. Attorney, sources told the Daily News. The FBI opened an inquiry into the Republican's fund-raising after members of Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto's New York congregation complained he was strong-arming them for donations, as the New York Times reported in January." [NY Daily News, 6/20/12]
Federal Grand Jury Also Investigating Grimm's "Fundraising Shenanigans." "A federal Brooklyn grand jury is probing alleged fundraising shenanigans in freshman Congressman Michael Grimm's 2010 campaign." [NY Daily News, 7/19/12]
Collins Awarded His Own Company $90K County Contract, Did Not Disclose Conflict Of Interest. In February 2009, it was reported that after three years of service to the county, Armor Electric Motor Repair's contract would go to Collins' company, Volland Electric Equipment. The $90,000 contract was to fix thousands of sewer system motors. According to the Buffalo News, Collins "bypassed" normal channels to get the contract approved. "The Collins team had bypassed the Legislature and quietly asked the state-appointed control financial board to accept Volland's low bid, with no mention of Collins' stake in the company," the article read. [Buffalo News, 2/26/09]
Community Heavily Criticized Collins Over Conflict Of Interest. Following the revelation of the Volland Electric contract, several prominent community figures criticized Collins over the perceived conflict of interest:
Buffalo New Columnist: "Something About It Doesn't Feel Quite Right." In February 2009, Buffalo News columnist James Heaney criticized Collins for promoting Volland Electric's contract bid by going around usual channels to get it approved, noting that "something about it doesn't feel quite right." He observed, "But if Collins wants to go down that road, it behooves him to be completely aboveboard. Instead, he comes off as being sneaky." [Buffalo News, 2/26/09]
County Legislator: "There Is An Ethics Issue Here." "I think there is an ethics issue here," said Legislator Daniel M. Kozub, who served as chairman of the committee that handles sewer district matters. "And there is an issue that this should have come before the Legislature before it went to the control board." [Buffalo News, 2/26/09]
UB Professor: Suspicion Of Collins' Actions Is Unavoidable. "There really is no way for Collins to avoid the suspicion of a conflict," said University of Buffalo professor Bill Baumer, who specializes in ethics. "He said he did not influence anything. On the other side of it, people in the purchasing department know they work for the county executive, and they don't want to do anything to make him angry." [Buffalo News, 3/04/09]
Buffalo News Columnist: Collins Violated "Ethics 101." "I am not sure what prompted the attack of common sense. But all he had to do was consult the Ethics 101 handbook," wrote Buffalo News columnist Donn Esmonde. "There is a part under 'Conflict of Interest' about not having companies that you partly own bid for, much less get, county contracts." [Buffalo News, 3/04/09]

Most of the Sonic games have been re-released other the years on various platforms, as part of compilations or stand alone downloads. On the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the original Sonic the hedgehog is available to download, as well as Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles and the 2011 Sonic game, Sonic the hedgehog 4: Episode 1. One game that always seems to be missed from these releases has been Sonic CD. For all those who have been waiting for Sega to release Sonic CD on the PS3 or Xbox 360, there's good news. Sega have announced that they plan to convert the Mega CD classic for release on Xbox Live, PSN, iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Windows Phone 7, Android and Windows PC Digital Download. At the moment, it doesn't look like Sega will be bringing the game to the Wii.

Happy birthday Sonic
On June 23rd 1991, we saw Sonic the Hedgehog make his debut on the Sega Master System. Since then a plethora of games have been released, including Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic Adventures and more recently Sonic 4. Admittedly not all of the Sonic games have been great but, because of his very first game Sonic has a strong following. Last year we saw Sonic 4 Part 1 released which is one of best Sonic games to be released in quite a few years and this year we will see Sonic Generations. Sega will bring the old school Sonic from 1991 together with the modern day Sonic.
Sega release trailer for new Sonic game
To kick start Sonic's 20th anniversary, Sega have released a trailer for a new Sonic game. Sonic the hedgehog 4 Episode 2 should be released this year, the sequel to Sonic 4 Episode 1 which was released in October last year. However this trailer doesn't look like Episode 2 of Sonic 4 but, rather a new game entirely. Speculation is that the game may see retro sonic go head to head with next gen sonic, or both of them working together. What are your thoughts? Check out the trailer below.
Good Night at the BAFTA's for Heavy Rain
Heavy Rain won 3 awards last night. There were other winners but I am going to focus on this one as I have played it twice and currently started a third. Heavy Rain was written and directed by Quantic Dream's chief executive, David De Gruttola.
Heavy Rain is an interactive game and you control the outcome. There are four main playable characters. This game is definitely a bite from film noir. Ethan Mars is one of the characters who is trying to find his son from a serial killer who uses extended rain storms to kill his victims.
The other three characters are:
Win a ride in a Foxy limo
I'm sure most of you will have heard of Foxy. For those who are regular players on the site, they recently held a competition for members to win a ride in a Foxy-licious Limo. For those who missed out though, whether you entered and didn't win, didn't enter in time or didn't wager the minimum amount there's still a chance to win a ride in the limo.
All you have to do is spot the Foxy limo in your area and submit the picture to Foxy. Also the driver may have cards with bonus codes on if you're able to catch the limo while it's parked up. The limos are currently touring in Scotland until March 25th and the South West will have limos from 23rd to 29th of March and the North East 28th March to 8th April. While other parts of the country will be toured in April and May.
Crysis 2 Leaked
Crysis 2 was scheduled for release on the 22nd of March, but that doesn't mean anything to people who want a game and will release a game into the gaming world for us heathens to play ahead of time.
So a late developement build of Crysis 2 has gone up on certain sites, it includes the full game, including multiplayer. It also includes the DRM Solidshield master key files, which only handles the online activation. No one is sure where the leak came from, but it's especially damaging because the game is near to being declared gold and shipping to retailers.
PS3 Firmware 3.56 Includes a "Rootkit"
Well played Sony, you managed to put a root kit into your new firmeware update, that being if we actually updated our console. I myself will be staying on 3.41. It's been reported that CFW disables your blu-ray play back.
Back to the rootkit though their own "rootkit" so to speak, which allows them, being Sony to execute remote code upon login. What code exactly? Well that can range from confirming system files, detecting custom firmware to searching for any installed homebrew that you may have put on. It's rumoured that they will be able to "kill" your console but that has yet to be seen.
Dead Space 2 Armour for Dragon Age 2
Much like the Blood Armor that brought a Mass Effect vibe into the original Dragon Age, Visceral Games and BioWare are working together to bring Dead Space's Isaac Clarke into the world of Dragon Age. Basically, those of you that pick up Dead Space 2 will get the exclusive "Ser Isaac of Clarke" armor set for use in Dragon Age II. The content, which we've been informed will expire come March 31, 2012 for whatever reason, of course is modeled after Isaac Clarke's signature rig.
You can check out a trailer for the content right here.
Pixel Force Halo Released Today
As promised, Eric Ruth's highly-anticipated Bungie-inspired demake, Pixel Force Halo, has now arrived! Originally announced back in December, Eric's Contra-esque platformer is available on PC for free download now.
He has also created Left for Dead and DJ Hero in 8bit, which I am sure if you are like me and know how to use google you can find them all. Eric also has something coming out in the Spring but he wouldn't say what it was but here's a quote that is making me wonder what else he could mastermind in 8bit?
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Proving that the fantasy is indeed NEVER going to be final, Square Enix has revealed Final Fantasy XIII-2, the latest entry in the long-running RPG franchise that is currently in development for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and scheduled to launch "next winter".
The game, which is being described as a true sequel that will attempt to exceed its predecessor in every aspect, will feature the return of leading lady Lighting and deliver a brand-new story which stems from the previous title as well as a battle system which has "evolved further since XIII".
