Good luck to you 25. It's sure is tough to find the rite guys to hunt with especially when your hunting in your own honey hole and have them keep your secret to themselves. Trust in more ways then one can be hard to find.
It is definitely tough to find someone to commit especially when we will be gone for almost three weeks. I have talked with him and met with him a few times. I am going to have him over the house to go over the area gear lists etc in a week or so. He is very excited this being his first Elk hunt. That is a good sign. He has his license and necessary permits as well. When I talked to him I did not sugar coat the hunt as it is a tough one and not a easy place to hunt. I also mentioned that he will more than likely get his opportunity. This is a place I have hunted for many years and killed my far share of elk. I know it well. I like the comment about the spouse. My wife asked me if I thought it would work out as she really wants me to find someone to go. I told her there is only one way to find out!
Good luck to you 25. It's sure is tough to find the rite guys to hunt with especially when your hunting in your own honey hole and have them keep your secret to themselves. Trust in more ways then one can be hard to find.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
I think that this is a big thing for me to get over. I do believe that the older I get it is not as much of a concern. We have talked about that and I feel comfortable in the trust area as he hunts pretty much on his own.I guess time will tell. He has been putting in for a few states but has had no luck in the drawings. This is a general tag so luckily he was able to get one after we talked a few times. This will also allow me to do a little more video which has been tough on solo trips over the years!
I would have a hard time commiting to 3 weeks, your very lucky to have found a guy who has that kind of time to hunt.
Congratulations 25, I have had a tough time finding someone who wants to commit to a week and a half every year. I hope it goes well for you and that it is the start of a great partnership!
Over the years I have done two weeks but since I am driving this year I thought it would be nice to take a little more time. It is tough to find someone to commit to that length of time. I guess I just like to take my time and enjoy the hunt. Driving just opens up some other options that I might not have otherwise.
Congrats.. With the 3 weeks I can see that being a bit hard for a bunch of people. Finding someone with the drive and also the mentality to keep each other going can be hard at times. It is safer to have a partner even if it might be your wife/gf who decides to sleepin that morning back at the truck/camp. LOL
I'll more than likely be hitting it solo this year so might try out a new area. Already learned a rental car isn't suitable to get back to the spot I want to get to due to the roads.. oops..
I sure hope everything works out for you. I lost my hunting partner several years back and have hunted a lot solo since then. I am retired and don't have a problem taking all the time I need and that sometimes is a problem for guys I've hunted with who work. I also do a few guided hunts...solo because lots of my friends don't want to spend the money, but at 72 I realize my hunting days are numbered (like I hunt now) and really don't care about spending $$$$ for hunting!

There is also a great quote from Doc Searls, "The customer is the new platform".
Main take-aways for me are that:
- Organisations and institutions are still important, but are not central to public media
- Public media is networked, not centralised

Best PlayStation 3 Game of 2013 - ArticleNick Pantazis, posted on 08 January 2014 / 5,411 Views
It has been a wild year for Sony, with a hugely successful hardware launch and now three platforms to manage. There's no question which of Sony's platforms enjoyed the true software success this year though. Nearly every great game that launched with the PS4 this year launched with the PS3 as well, and the PS3 had a huge number of the year's most notable games that didn't make it onto the brand new next gen consoles. If you for some reason don't own one, now is not a bad time to buy into the PS3's massive back catalog, along with these awesome 2013 titles. It's not an easy choice, but here are our favorite PS3 games of the year.
The Nominees Are:
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
And The Winner Is...
Grand Theft Auto V is something special. It's 2013, and yet this is a game released without a season pass. Without day one DLC. Without an incomplete story made just so you'll buy the sequel. This is a game developed over five years instead of one or two. This is a classic, no-nonsense release. Yes, Grand Theft Auto Online does have optional microtransactions, but the meat of Grand Theft Auto V, the core experience, is here and complete for everyone to enjoy, with a massive world dwarfing pretty much any other game in pure content and level of detail on a large scale world. It's fun, it's huge, and it's our favorite PS3 game of 2013.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our select teams are registered with the Grand Valley Soccer Association (GVSA) league. Our Rec teams (U10+) are registered with the Great Lakes Coed Soccer League. A player may play on two teams provided the two teams are registered within different leagues.
This means it is possible for a player to participate in both our select and rec program provided they can meet the time committment for practice and games.
A player cannot be registered on more than one select team or more than on rec team.
Per GVSA Rules section E.5:
All players are entitled to a minimum amount of playing time for each regularly scheduled GVSA game, as follows:
i. U10 and younger aged players are entitled to play a minimum of one-half (1/2) of each game.
ii. U11 and U12 players are entitled to play one-third (1/3) of each game.
iii. The only exceptions to this rule are for players serving league suspensions, injuries and players subject to reasonable team discipline, which the coach shall note on the game report prior to the start of the game. Reasonable team discipline includes missed practices.
iv. Coaches may not shorten a player's playing time in one game, and make it up in another.
v. This policy applies to all players, including goal keepers.
vi. It is not the job of the Referee or GVSA to enforce this rule. Breaches of the rule shall be addressed initially to the player's club. Trifling breaches of the rules are not cause for complaint, unless they occur on a regular basis.
The GVSA league does not define a minimum playing time for players in age groups U13 and up.
Absolutely! Attending tryouts and the potential placement on a RPYSC select team is optional. We will continue to register many recreational players and create RPYSC recreational teams at all age levels within RPYSC (U6-U8) and the Great Lakes Coed Soccer League (U10+).
Attending tryouts and placing on a RPYSC select team is a growth opportunity for players who would like to take their soccer skills to the next level. Player and parents need to balance the opportunity for growth with the increased commitment and player interest.
Our select teams are registered with the Grand Valley Soccer Association (GVSA) league. Our Rec teams (U10+) are registered with the Great Lakes Coed Soccer League. A player may play on two teams provided they are within different leagues. This means it is possible for a player to participate in both our select and rec program provided they can meet the time committment for practice and games.
Recognizing the current challenges in the economy and the impact on our area, RPYSC is working to minimize the cost of our select program. We work hard to ensure our rec program is one of the most cost competitive programs in the area (compare our registration and equipment costs to neighboring soccer clubs and other sports). We plan to do the same for our select program.
Tryout dates and the earliest date we can make offers to select players are published by the league that organizes our select games; Grand Valley Soccer Association (GVSA). Typically tryouts are held during the third week of June. Please check our home page for specific dates and age grouping.
We start registration for tryouts at 5:30pm.
Tryouts start at 6pm and complete by 8pm.
The GVSA league allows players to play up a maximum of two age groups. Consider this when attending tryouts - players may wish to tryout for more than one age group depending on their ability.
* Please note the U15+ boys teams play for the spring season and the U15+ girls teams for the fall season. This is because the older age group players usually play on a High School team during the Fall (boys) or Spring (girls). While older Girls' teams suspend play during the Spring, they may wish to play again in the summer, after High School season ends, in a tournament. This is permissible per GVSA rules.
Due to planned field improvements occuring over the summer at our home RPMS fields, we will be holding tryouts at the Reeths-Puffer High School Soccer fields.
The High School Soccer fields are behind Reeths-Puffer Elementary School, 1404 N. Getty Street, Muskegon.
Registration for RPYSC Select teams involves a higher cost commitment compared to recreational teams. This is driven by higher league registration fees, uniforms (home and away colors are required), tournament fees and travel costs, etc. However we want to make RPYSC Select registration costs as accessible as possible. Our mission is to enable all area youth to develop their soccer skills. You will see that the costs described below are very competitive with neighboring select clubs.
Our annual registration cost for the RPYSC Select program in 2011/12 were:
- $200 for U14 and below
- $150 for U15 and above
We will update our web site as soon as we have determined 2012/13 fees.
Registration cost includes:
- GVSA league registration fees
- Referee fees
- Insurance while practicing and playing on RPYSC fields
- Access to RPYSC fields for practice and home games
- Field maintenance; nets, line marking, re-seeding etc.
- Licence fees for coaches committing to RPYSC select
- MSYSA Risk management fees
- One tournament fee per year!
The registration fee is payable in two installments; 50% is due with your registration form when you accept an invitation to play on a RPYSC select team. The remaining 50% is due before your first game in the fall season. Registration fees are non-refundable with the exception of extenuating circumstances approved by the RPYSC board.
Individual coaches may expect their teams to attend additional tournaments, clinics and indoor soccer sessions during the winter. These team specific expectations will be communicated with your invitation to play on a team after tryouts. You will have the opportuntity to review and agree to these team specific requirements before submitting your registration form after tryouts.
Team parents, players and coaches may optionally elect to purchase additional accessories at their cost, such as player back packs, sweat shirts etc. Just For Kicks in Muskegon, offers a wide range of accessories and can personalize them with the RPYSC logo, player number or team name.
Uniforms will be extra. The standard RPYSC green jersey will be used for away games. These will cost $25. A special select white home uniform package (jersey, shorts, socks) will be available for purchase from Just For Kicks. We expect total home and away, uniform cost to be under $100 depending on the options (eg extra socks, shorts etc) you choose.
Miscellaneous league fees such as lost player cards and transfer requests will be extra. These fees are not common and will charged to a player on the rare occasions they are incurred.
There is no cost for tryouts.
In fact, we encourage all players to tryout for RPYSC Select. Regardless of acceptance on to a Select team this will be a valuable experience for players of all abilities.
Be prepared to demonstrate your best at all times during the tryout session. Come prepared as you would for a game (cleats, shin guards, water and appropriate ball), but don't wear RPYSC colors.
Although your soccer skills on the field are obviously important, evaluators will also be looking for examples of good sportsmanship, ethics, communication with your fellow players, coaches and officials. We will be looking for players who are willing to listen and grow. You can improve your chances for selection if you can demonstrate your ability to play in more than one position.
There are a lot of useful guides on the internet to help a player understand what is expected at a tryout.
Here are some links:
- http://www.completesoccerguide.com/soccer-tryouts
- http://www.ehow.com/how_6423_succeed-youth-soccer.html
If possible, consider these guidelines as you play during the season leading up to tryouts. Talk to your current coach about your strengths and areas where you can improve. Practice and plan to have fun at tryouts!
The Grand Valley Soccer Association (GVSA) requires all players to participate in open tryouts in June. Each player will be individually evaluated based on their skills, sportsmanship, ethics and committment to the team including fellow players, coaches and officials.
Acceptance on to teams will be made only through open tryout evaluations.
If you wish to bring a team to RPYSC's Select program all players on that team must tryout and have an equal opportunity to be placed on a team together with other tryout participants based on a demonstration of their abilities.
If you have questions regarding this, please contact our director of coaching.
Select (or travel) soccer is an opportunity for recreational soccer players to continue the growth of their soccers skills in an increasingly competitive environment while still placing an emphasis on development. As the name implies, players are selected annually for teams based on the abilities they demonstrate in open try-outs. Try-outs are scheduled in June for teams expecting to start play in the fall. All players try-out every year regardless of whether they have played on a select team before.
Select teams typically travel farther than recreation level teams. The GVSA league area is larger than the GLCSL area. Select teams also have the opportunity to register for one or more select level tournaments which may require travel outside of our normal playing area (possibly requiring overnight stays).
All select players rostered on a team will be required to have a photo id card (aka passcard). The league prints these cards for registered players and the coach is responsible for attaching and laminating a current player photo. These are retained by the coach and inspected by referees at the start of each game. Only rostered players with id cards are allowed to play in a GVSA game.
Select teams have firm roster limits defined by the GVSA league. These are:
Age Group
Number of Players
Min Roster
Max Roster
Players within select teams will be expected to dedicate a greater amount of time to organized practice compared to recreational soccer. It is assumed that a select player has a high level of interest in growing their soccer skills and will also work to perfect skills outside of organized practice times.
Clubs within the GVSA Select League cover a wider geographical region than GLCSL Rec League so travel distances for away games will increase.
Practice time will vary based on age group and coach. A typical practice committment is two practices per week (approx 90mins each) and a GVSA eight game schedule. Of the eight games, four will be away games within the GVSA club area. Games are usually scheduled on Saturday or Sunday.
Commitment to a select team is for both fall and spring seasons for all players age U14 and below.
All area players are welcome to tryout for RPYSC Select teams.
Although our club name reflects our geographic location we have many players from neighboring school districts participate within our club.
Our goal is to make the RPYSC Select program as accessible as possible by keeping costs as low as possible.

A new leader at Shaw Avenue
(Page 3 of 3)
Five years ago, she made the transition from being a colleague of the teachers to being their boss. That was made easy, she said, by the atmosphere of teamwork at Shaw. "We all treat each other with the same respect," she said. "We all want the best for our students. That's why we're all here."
Deanna Cerone, a sixth-grade teacher at Shaw and a unit leader for the Valley Stream Teachers Association, said Pernick has kept the staff together during some rocky times at the school. "She's been the constant," Cerone said. "We always knew that no matter what, she would be there."
Cerone said that teachers are hopeful that Pernick will be Shaw's principal for a long time. She added that the staff is proud to see one of their own rise through the ranks to become their leader. "She is the hardest-working, most dedicated person I know," Cerone said. "It makes you want to work for her."
Pernick said she is always interested in learning, and keeps current with the most recent trends in education. She also said she prides herself on knowing the names of as many children as possible, which can be challenging in a school with 700 students.
Taking over for Pernick will be Josh McPherson, who has been an assistant principal in Flushing, Queens.
Last year, Shaw Avenue was nominated for a Blue Ribbon Award by the State Education Department. Winners will be announced later in the year. Pernick said that her goal is to maintain a high level of achievement, and see what other accolades the school can get.
Her expectations for students are high. She said that when they leave to go to Memorial Junior High School, their new teachers should say, "Wow, they came from Shaw Avenue School."
She said she plans to be visible in the school, because she wants teachers and students to know that she cares. Her door will always be open, Pernick said, and being principal won't change the type of person or leader she is.
The first day of school can't come soon enough, she said, adding that she hopes to be principal for a long time. "I'm ready. I'm so excited," she said. "I've been here for 19 years and I don't see myself going anywhere."

This post has not been edited by the GamesBeat staff. Opinions by GamesBeat community writers do not necessarily reflect those of the staff.
[Warning: Spoilers for Bioshock, Bioshock 2, The Walking Dead, Dishonored, Mass Effect 3, and Heavy Rain are ahead.]
What is it lately with all these damn rascally kids in my Mature rated video games? ShepKid in Mass Effect 3, Clementine in The Walking Dead, Emily in Dishonored. I mean, there's got to be a design or storytelling reason for them to be there, right (other than to bug the crap out of me)? Otherwise these particular kids wouldn't be front and center in their respective games; they'd just be like the generically named brats that populate Skyrim, having no purpose for existence, except to demonstrate that the developer wanted to add children for immersion's sake.
The first two games that use children in an unusual and somewhat problematic way that leap to mind are Bioshock and Bioshock 2. The first game gives you the option to harvest the ADAM within the Little Sisters for more currency to buy stronger power ups. Of course, you can also choose not to kill them and get more or less the same amount of currency, as the sisters reward you for not gutting them by giving you the money later on down the road. You just don't get access to those powers as quickly. Harvesting the sisters will result in the game's bad ending while saving them will result in the good one.
The morality system in Bioshock is about as nuanced as the Jedi and Sith conflict in Star Wars. Children are nothing more than a possible power up option that come at the cost of being a monster, albeit at a safe, comfortable distance. You don't get to see your character murder the little girls, which, while unquestionably disturbing, would have probably made the morality system more impactful. You just get to glimpse their Adamy-gall bladder shaped Sea Slug things squirming about as you stuff them in your pocket…to take to the literal power up vending machine.
It's okay to murder a little girl as long as it's not onscreen, apparently.
Bioshock 2 actually makes use of one of the little sisters, Eleanor, and uses her as a moral gauge for your actions. There are several times throughout the sequel that you have the option to murder people who have impeded your progress through the game. Killing them will result in possible satisfaction for you, but it will teach Eleanor, your ward in distress, that vengeance is always a preferable option to peace and forgiveness, resulting in a darker ending. It's still a blunt morality system that hinges on a couple of choices throughout the game and it's a system that completely determines Eleanor's personality by the end of the game but, hey, at least she's not the equivalent of a Rapture Pac Man pellet.
Eleanor and the little sisters are meant to be mirrors that reflect the choices you've made throughout Rapture, but they don't work (for me) because they're so simplistic. Bioshock, as many games do, takes a concept (killing someone) that is so far beyond the average gamer's comprehension—I'm including myself in that group—and makes it a blunt, simple matter: kill this person and it will result in a darker ending. Eleanor is the middlewoman to get to whatever ending you choose to pursue, but she's still nothing more than an avenue to get that ending, somebody who is completely molded by your actions.
The same is true for Dishonored's Emily Kaldwin, who is nothing more than a gauge for how many people you've killed. Keep your chaos level low, and she'll come out of all this nasty overthrow-the-tyrants business as a healthy, stable ruler who leads Dunwall into a prosperous era. Kill everyone in your path and she leads her kingdom into an era of violence and terror. Again, a personality that is determined completely by your actions.
Not shown: Emily Kaldwin's sassy imitation of Colbert's Wag of the Finger.
Eleanor is primarily the reason I rolled my eyes when I met Clementine during my first playthrough ofThe Walking Dead. Here I was playing yet another mediocre game with branching storylines and a child whose level of dickishness was going to be completely determined by my actions. Luckily, I was wrong on both counts. Not only is The Walking Dead one of the best games to be released in years, Clementine also subverts the morality mechanic seen in both Bioshock(s) and Dishonored. The game never outright tells you that Clem's personality will change; it just seems to suggest it with indicators that read "Clementine will remember that." But she never becomes a product of your actions, at least not completely. Clementine at the end of The Walking Dead is very much the girl she was at the beginning of the game; she's stronger and more determined, yes, but she's still the scared little girl clinging to what innocence she has left in a bleak world—regardless of what choices you make. She's the most realistic child that's ever been in a video game and still technically a morality gauge, but one that's actually meant to affect you on an emotionally level, not change the gamescape by offering you gameplay or ending incentives.
Should she be the standard for a child's portrayal in a video game? No idea. She's perfect for the universe she inhabits, but it's hard to imagine Eleanor being more realistic and accomplishing the game's intentions of presenting with difficult moral situations, except, well, they're not that difficult anyway. Giving a player a choice in which a minor character dies and the simplistic morality gauge tilts in one direction or the other does not equate to creating a situation where the player frets over the decision and then possibly feels guilt after the fact. Using sweet and innocent but corruptible children archetypes doesn't make the bluntness of those contrived situations go away, either. (And why are all these gauge-children girls? Sure, there's Shepkid, but his functionality is to give the player insight into Commander Shepard's conscience. One could also make the case for Heavy Rain's Shaun, I suppose, but his rescue doesn't really depend on any moral choices since you can save him in several ways.)
I would make an attempt at a witty caption BUT I'M TOO BUSY CRYING MY EYES OUT.
So why do I have a stick up my ass about this? Well, mostly because these gauge-children are a cheap, ineffective way of convincing players that their actions are meaningful and because there are only a handful of games that are dark games that put children at the forefront, almost all seem to be indie games. The Binding of Isaac and Limbo, despite the fact that neither game is rated by the ESRB, are mature games that star children in very violent and religious situations. They also happen to be high quality games. But besides that, just think of how some of the more mature, thought provoking franchises we've got out there could be made even more interesting by starring a child.
Why not have a kid traversing the wastelands of Fallout 3, using only his or her wits for survival? A different game, I'd imagine, than playing the rugged, gun-toting, bottle caps scavenging Wastelander. Perhaps a better one even.
What about you? Any dark games you want to see starring a child protagonist? Chime in with the comments feature below.

I like to know is there any specific reason that there is no public constructor in Pattern and Matcher class of java?
I like to know is there any specific reason that there is no public constructor in Pattern and Matcher class of java?
Many frameworks avoid the use of direct constructors for complex objects, preferring instead more elegant factories.
A pattern is generated by 'compiling' a regular expression, so you make a static call to the 'compile' method. It initializes everything that is necessary. A matcher is specific to a pattern, and therefore generated by the pattern object rather than directly by the user.
If the matcher had a constructor that took a pattern, the matcher's constructor might have had to access non-public fields of the pattern object.
Another potential advantage of this approach (compared to direct construction) is that it is in principle possible to provide different matching engines transparently to the user by instantiating different subtypes of Pattern and Matcher behind the scenes. For example, suppose that you had different matcher implementations for regular expressions that match a fixed-length string (e.g., no wildcards), and for regular expressions that contain an asterisk or a plus, and that there was a performance difference. That being said, it doesn't seem like this actually takes place since the Matcher is defined as a final class, though it is likely that the internals are closely bounded to the pattern.
I haven't looked at the implementation of either classes, but I would assume that
The source code for compile() in java.util.regex.Pattern is:
Which means that the two static methods are invoking the private constructor. I can see no real advantage in this, as opposed to simply making the constructors themselves public.
The only public way of creating a Matcher is from a Pattern object, through the
its a static (or final) class. everything you need can be done with compile() and matcher() methods.
In my opinion the reason for this has more to do with semantics. When you read Pattern.compile(), it conveys the fact that your input will be validated and converted to an internal representation, the same message is probably not conveyed when saying new Pattern().
On the patterns and regex fronts this could be important because of the long historical shadow that perl casts, comparisons to which are abundantly documented in the API docs.

For people who live in the Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana counties or parishes designated as Katrina disaster areas, the deadline to file your taxes has been pushed back from Apr. 17 to Aug. 28.
In addition to the filing extension, the law also applies to payment deadlines.
"What happened is that the IRS determined under code section 7806 that they had the right to postpone filing deadlines for people hardest hit by Katrina. And that's people in the go-zone," said CPA Bob Rea.
Even with the extension, Rea says that if you make quarterly payments, he recommends still making those payments on time to avoid having to pay a large amount in August.
"If you're very disciplined, pay them into your savings account and then pay it all on Aug. 28," said Rea. "But we encourage you not to get behind to where you're trying to catch up at the last minute. It makes it very difficult."
Rea says that for those in the affected area, you do not need to file for an extension. Simply write the words Hurricane Katrina at the top of your return when you file it.

Both realists and instrumentalists have found it difficult to understand (much less accept) Carnap's developed view on theoretical terms, which attempts to stake out a neutral position between realism and instrumentalism. I argue that Carnap's mature conception of a scientific theory as the conjunction of its Ramsey sentence and Carnap sentence can indeed achieve this neutral position. To see this, however, we need to see why the Newman problem raised in the context of recent work on structural realism is no problem for Carnap's conception; and we also need to locate Carnap's work on theoretical terms within his wider program of Wissenschaftslogik or the logic of science.
