Madden NFL 2017 Review
(Score: 8.8/10)
Review by paulfarrelly @ 26th August, 2016
It's arguable the series teeters between samey-same, or definable leap year-in, year-out. It just boils down to what it is that strikes you in a game that obviously can't cater to everyone. The audience in Australia isn't that large though, purely because we're not as exposed to the sport, but Madden 17 is definitely a solid place to start if you're considering jumping in

The Technomancer isn't a great RPG, but it's close. Every now and then, the feeling of playing a classic BioWare RPG from a decade or so rises to the surface.

Inside Review
(Score: 7.5/10)
Review by Steve Farrelly @ 1st July, 2016
Now, that intro is not meant to derail the game as a whole. From the outset Inside is an intriguing and engaging little beast. It slowly and masterfully presents you with wonderful puzzles and progression, without a single word being uttered, or displayed on-screen. It takes cues from games as far back as Another World as well as the studio's first opus, Limbo...

Asemblance Review
(Score: 7.5/10)
Review by KostaAndreadis @ 23rd June, 2016
Asemblance isn't an experience built on scares or thrilling moments. It's more interested in posing mostly subtle and open-ended questions about the nature of memory, mood, and what is real.

Trials of the Blood Dragon Review
(Score: 5.0/10)
Review by KostaAndreadis @ 22nd June, 2016
Trials of the Blood Dragon takes the very specific physics-based motorcycle fun of the Trials series and injects it with a big fat dose of story. An 80s pop-culture obsessed action spectacle where communist aliens from Mars pop up at a random point, America is the world's go-to guy for freedom, and bright fluro-headbands and neon lighting are the order of the day.

Overwatch Review

Review by KostaAndreadis @ 6th June, 2016
Looking back a decade or so to classic games like Quake 3 Arena or Unreal Tournament, these were games that accomplished what they set out to do. And when you get down to it you could probably add Overwatch to that list right now, a stellar online experience that feels familiar yet still entirely new.

Total War: Warhammer Review
(Score: 9.0/10)
Review by KostaAndreadis @ 25th May, 2016
The level of Warhammer-specific detail that has been translated into Total War mechanics is remarkable, ranging from the way in which different types of units compact each other to the way it's incredibly risky and costly to venture too far into Vampire or Chaos territory. Perhaps the biggest takeaway from Total War: Warhammer is the feeling that, when you're playing the campaign, you'll want to experience all the conflict and Chaos from each perspective.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is an enjoyable romp, but it's essentially an interactive movie with very little player-choice over what any of that interaction is. It's almost like Naughty Dog are throwing in their credentials to just become the next Pixar...

Dark Souls 3 Review
(Score: 9.5/10)
Review by Joaby @ 4th April, 2016
Even without the benefit of anything utterly alien to the dedicated Dark Souls player, Dark Souls III can still incite terror, because they use what you already know against you. Curse frogs aren't that big a deal. But what if seven of them attack you in a narrow corridor just after you triggered a mimic? Your best option is probably to just homeward bone and then return so you can trigger each enemy in an orderly fashion, but in a panicked state you won't make that move...

Couple of things before I present the Red Sox First Two Months Report Card (terrible title I know, but better than 'A Report Card for a Little More than a Quarter of the Season but Not Yet A Third')…
Grades are based on expectation heading into 2009. If Jason Bay had the same stats as Jason Varitek he'd probably be looking at a C-/D+, for example.
And all stats are through 5/31…
Jason Bay (A)
Are we up to 98 cents on the dollar in 'The Trade'? Think the Dodgers might return a call from Theo if he was offering Bay for Manny straight up?
I'd imagine Bay would sign sometime before the season is over (of course I don't know this, but it makes way too much sense for all parties involved for it NOT to happen). Figure, what, five years for $80 million? Even if this fast start is a little flukish (his 2009 slugging percentage is 58 points higher than any other season) his .280-30-100 established level would make that contract pretty manageable.
Kevin Youkilis (A)
Two questions:
1. Is there another player in the American League that you would trade straight up for Youkilis (not in all of baseball—you would have to go with Pujols) for the rest of the season? Maybe Mauer? If there was no baggage attached to A-Rod you'd have to bite, I guess, but I can't think of anyone else.
2. Who plays Youkilis in the movie version of Moneyball? I can sort of see Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Ramon Ramirez (A)
Anyone else miss Coco and his .399 slugging percentage? Clearly Ellsbury is at the very, very worst a wash with Crisp, so basically Ramirez is house money. It'll be interesting to see if his level of performance can hold up the entire season, his past would indicate that he might even be better the rest of the way (this has been his worst K/BB ratio of his career). We'll give him a mulligan for Saturday and leave him at an A.
Dustin Pedroia (A-)
OK, the homers are way down and that is a concern. But he's on pace to walk nearly 90 times (he walked 97 times in 2007 and 2008 combined), match last season's total of 213 hits, score 127 runs and steal 24 bases. He's been every bit as valuable as he was last season, and if he were on another AL team he'd be a perfectly acceptable answer to my previous question about Youkilis (and no, not the Moneyball one. Though I'm starting to think that Philip Seymour Hoffman would be Sofia Coppola-level bad as Youkilis. He's in his 40s and has done nothing in his career that would lead you to think that he could play an athlete. So the search continues.)
Mike Lowell (B+)
I wrote this guy off after last season. Truth be told I thought Ortiz was a much better bounce-back candidate. He'll probably slow down some but a .280-20-90 season could easily happen. Is it possible that Mike Lowell has been the best Red Sox player in the Hanley Ramirez trade?
Manny Delcarmen (B)
I'm not so sure I'd make that Nick Johnson trade. For me Delcarmen has been the second-best pitcher on the staff this season (after Ramirez). Sure, he walks too many guys, but he's always around a K an inning and is really tough to hit (179 hits allowed in 202.1 career innings). I don't know, I get that Johnson is off to a nice start, but something tells me that Delcarmen may appear in more games over the next three seasons.
Jonathan Papelbon (B)
Decent ERA and is on pace for 45 saves. Papelbon has been fine, a top 10 closer, but…
Through Saturday his K/BB rate was 2.27, which would be by far the worst during his tenure as closer. The flags aren't red yet, but things just seem a little off.
Combined walks and home runs allowed in 2008 (69.1 innings): 12
Combined walks and home runs allowed in 2009 (22 innings): 15
Hideki Okajima (B)
Maybe should have graded him a little higher. His April wasn't as bad as the stats would lead you to think (he got roughed up just twice in 12 appearances, which killed his ERA 5.59 for the month). And he didn't give up a run in May.
Jason Varitek (B)
I think the Pink Hats should maybe slow down just a little with the victory lap on this one. Sure, Varitek has hit 10 homers, but let's be honest: that is all that he has done offensively. He's a bad month away from having a .230 average with a .300 OBP at the All-Star Break. But he has been absolutely a positive to this point, and maybe he ends up with 18-20 HRs and a .240 average. Though all I heard and read the entire offseason was that the mere presence of The Captain behind the plate makes the pitchers better. Well, I guess if he were gone Lester would have a 10.00 ERA and Dice-K would need 350 pitches to get through five innings.
(Sorry, just watched Jalen Rose make perhaps the dopiest point in ESPN history. Orlando just finished off the Cavs and Rose was asked if the NBA was disappointed that we wouldn't get LeBron vs. Kobe. Nope, said Jalen. And why?
"Don't forget, Dwight Howard led the All-Star voting with nearly three million votes," Rose said, one eye looking nervously off camera as David Stern applied the duct tape to Ray Jackson and Jimmy King. "He's a very popular player."
I don't know, Jalen, but it's possible that the reason Howard finished with so many votes was that the Eastern Conference center ballot options were as thin as the lyrical content on any Winger album (though I hold a soft spot for "Headed for a Heartbreak"). Put it this way: Samuel Dalembert finished second in the voting. Lakers in six are the pick here.)
Tim Wakefield (B)
Three weeks ago Wakefield was 4-1 with a 2.92 ERA. Now he's 6-3 with a 4.55 ERA. And I'm sure he'll have at least another terrific month and another lousy stretch or two and wind up 15-11 or so with a 4.55 ERA. When you look at his career 15 years from now it'll fit right in with most of his seasons with Boston. Of course, Wakefield will probably still be pitching at that point.
Jacoby Ellsbury (B-)
This is the highest grade I can give an outfielder with a .377 slugging percentage. If Ellsbury continues to combine zero power with a terrible walk rate (10 in his first 219 plate appearances) he'll have to hit at least .300 to remain a useful offensive player.
Nick Green (B-)
Tom Watson never won the PGA Championship. Neither did Arnold Palmer. Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors were shut out at the French Open. Bruce Springsteen has never had a No. 1 single (and I am not counting "We are the World", if only because that would also give Dan Ackroyd and Marlon Jackson a No. 1 single).
And Theo Epstein can't find a shortstop.
(Probably he would've kept Hanley, in his defense.)
Now we know Nick Green isn't the long-term answer. There is a reason why he's 30 and nobody had ever heard of him two months ago (and it wasn't because Barbara Hershey shot him in a hotel room 15 years ago). But maybe he can hit .280 this season?
Takashi Saito (B-)
Similar to Okajima—slow start with a strong May (1.80 ERA, .243 slugging percentage against). Would anyone feel uncomfortable with Saito as the closer for a month if Papelbon were injured?
J.D. Drew (C+)
They don't, of course, but if salaries were kept private and no one knew that J.D. Drew was the highest-paid player on the Red Sox I suspect everyone would be okay with him, right? He's not great, clearly he'll never come close to the massive promise he showed early in his career (that great start in 1998, the 1.027 OPS season as a 25-year-old in 2001). But has he been even close to the disaster many thought he would be here? You're going to get somewhere in the .280-.290 range with an OPB in the .400 range. He has been brutal the last couple of weeks, though.
Justin Masterson (C+)
I think if Justin Masterson was given a spot in the Red Sox rotation for an entire season he wins 15 games. Of course, I saw "City Slickers II" in the theatre four times, so I'm not sure I have credibility on any issue.
Josh Beckett (C)
An F for April (7.22 ERA) and an A for May (2.38 ERA) gets us to a C for Beckett.
What grade would you give for Beckett's career with the Red Sox to this point? Here are the numbers (regular season): 53-30, 4.16 ERA, two complete games, no shutouts and a 1.235 WHIP in 642. 1 innings.
Not terrible but a little disappointing. I think those are good numbers for a No. 2 starter, but no one had ideas of Beckett as a No. 2 when they made that trade. If the Sox hadn't made the postseason in the last three years I think I'd give Beckett a C+, maybe a B minus. But the playoff stuff in 2007 (4-0, 1.20 ERA) moves him to a solid B, I think.
Brad Penny (C)
The idea that Penny is trade bait is sort of true, I guess, but I can't imagine that they will get anything back of real value. I know he's pitched okay the last few times out but the whole picture is not promising. A WHIP of 1.60 (after a 1.62 last season) with a 5.63 ERA? Maybe Theo'll find some Single-A prospect that a team has given up on.
Jon Lester (D+)
The only thing that would really scare you is anything health-related, and there is nothing that would lead you there at this point (he's third in the AL in strikeouts). I bet he ends the season with around 16 wins, 230 Ks and an ERA around 4.
Rocco Baldelli (D)
I had written a whole thing about Rocco on NESN and WEEI next year before I realized that he's only 27 years old. How is that possible? I had him pegged for 30 at least.
Javier Lopez (F)
Is there an athlete in any of the four professional sports with less chance of having a movie made about their life? Totally and completely uninspiring?
(Though I'll admit I could see a remake of "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" with Javier and Jim Corsi.)
Daisuke Matsuzaka (F)
Opponents are hitting .384 vs. Dice-K in 2009. In the last 50 years only three players have hit better than .384 for a season (George Brett, Rod Carew and Tony Gwynn).
I knew he was lucky last season and expected him to take a step back in 2009, but I was thinking maybe 15-10 with a 4.30 ERA. Of course as we all know the rest of the year is gravy after the WBC, so…
David Ortiz (F)
Moving Ortiz from third to sixth in the lineup is the baseball equivalent of moving a sitcom in its eighth season from Tuesday to Friday. Maybe you get a quick pop in the ratings but after a few weeks all you're left with are a wacky neighbor and a guest appearance from Tim Conway as the clueless boss.
Of the 178 qualified hitters in MLB, Ortiz ranks 174th in slugging, 165th in OBP and 177th in batting average. The only Red Sox numbers in recent years that are even close are the ones produced by Pedroia during his call up in 2006, a 31-game stretch that had most people wondering if this guy was simply overmatched by big-league pitching (another decent comp is actually someone I had forgotten about--J.T. Snow in 2006, but in way fewer plate appearances). Of course what worries you about Ortiz is that there has been really no indication that he's going to turn this around. Since the third game of the season his peak batting average has been .238. Would it shock anyone if he weren't back next season, a notion that would have been unthinkable 18 months ago?

Using Glassine Bags on Cards
Posted on in Cards
Hi everyone. Today, I decided to make a card. I sorted through my leftover supplies from the August kits. I decided that I wanted to use the soft color palette dictated by the beautiful Gossamer Blue exclusive chipboard and stickers. Most of the other die cuts and papers had a bolder color scheme, so I decided that I would use the glassine bags to soften the effect. I really love how it turned out.
The first thing I did was cut my white cardstock to 4×8 inches in order to make a 4×4 card. Then, I cut the glassine bag to 4×4. I adhered the wreath die cut to the center of the card. Then I added the glassine on top. I added a dot of glue in the center of the card to keep the glassine in place while I stitched it on.
I knew that I would be adding embellishments to the center of the card, so this was a good place to add the glue. I like how the glassine toned down the colors on the wreath.
Next, I used one of the small glassine bags to hold the chipboard tag. I tucked it inside and folded the top down to make it fit the tag. I added stitching to the top to add more texture and detail. After this, I stitched the 'hello' veneer piece. I just ran it through my machine and since it is thin, it went through easily. I mounted it onto the label sticker and tucked the heart sticker behind it. Then, I adhered it to the bag with the tag. I added the whole thing to the front of the card using glue dots.
Finally, I added the banner sticker, the jute from my stash and a few enamel dots for detail.
It didn't take much time to whip up this card and I love how it turned out. The glassine definitely gave it a much softer and shabby feel, just as I intended it to.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Woodridge accepts plan to rebuild, renovate schools
PENINSULA — The Woodridge Local School District is proceeding with a facilities plan to rebuild and renovate its current four buildings into three, all on the same campus.
Board of Education members voted unanimously at a special community forum meeting June 4 to accept the master facilities plan prepared by consultants Chuck Warner, of Warner Concepts LLC, and Chas Schreckenberger, of Braun & Steidl Architects, and presented to the board May 15.
Based on community response to surveys at two open dialogue meetings and on the district's website, the plan calls for three schools — an elementary school for prekindergarten through fifth grade; a middle school for sixth through eighth grades; and a high school for ninth through 12th grades.
Response was nearly unanimous among those who filled out the questionnaires that they wanted this grade configuration, and they wanted the three schools to be on the same campus, where the middle and high schools currently are, on Quick Road.
Warner and Schreckenberger presented a detailed assessment of the four current schools and recommendations for what should be done with each.
The 1928 Primary School and the 1930/1952 Intermediate School are the oldest and most in need of work, they said. For both, the cost to renovate would be more than 80 percent of the cost of replacement, far exceeding the construction rule of thumb that any building requiring at least 67 percent of the rebuild cost to renovate should be built new.
Major repairs and replacement would be needed, Warner said, and "even after you do the repairs, it still won't be efficient space." Classrooms in 1928 were much smaller than today's classrooms, and the walls were 18 inches thick compared to today's 12-inch-thick walls. There is much wasted space in old buildings, he said, and they are not sufficient for today's educational needs.
The district recently had to fix the wastewater treatment plant near the Primary School that was in danger of failing and not up to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. It was able to remove the original system and connect to a nearby sewer, according to district officials.
The same serious septic problem also applies at the Intermediate School, on Bronson Road in Peninsula, but there is no sewer nearby to connect to, Schreckenberger said. The EPA has notified the Village of Peninsula it needs to spend a great deal of money to meet EPA requirements, he said.
Superintendent Walter Davis said the EPA has granted Woodridge a two-year "reprieve," an extension on the time allowed to fix the septic problem at the Intermediate School, until the district decides what to do with the school in its facilities plan.
If the Intermediate School is closed and demolished, the septic problem would not need to be fixed, according to district officials. If the building is renovated or sold, the problem would still need fixing.
Schreckenberger pointed out that building codes are constantly changing, and meeting accessibility codes, energy codes and other codes in old buildings would be a large expense. The buildings would need new heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment; windows; insulation; and more, he said.
Davis said with renovating, "It would cost a fortune to bring the buildings up to code, but the structure inside would be the same — it limits what we can do educationally. The music class would still be in a windowless room on the lower level" of the Intermediate School.
The master plan's recommendations, which closely mirror the results of the votes of community members who responded, include building a new elementary school on the same Quick Road campus, renovating the Middle School — including a new roof to replace the one that has already leaked — and renovating the high school and adding on to it for needed space.
The June 4 meeting was scheduled to get more community feedback on the plan, but only a small group turned out. Board member Tammy Heffernan expressed disappointment the high school library wasn't filled.
"Then people say they didn't know" about the plans, she said.
Davis agreed that "people have a responsibility to remain informed" and noted the district distributed information through meetings, the website and the news media. He urged the board to move forward, because "we're going to pay one way or the other. We will have to do a lot of repairs if the [two buildings] are not replaced."
Urged on by the small but persuasive audience, the board members voted unanimously to accept the plan and asked Treasurer Deanna Levenger to look into what needs to be done to put a bond issue to pay for the work on the November ballot. The plan as accepted would cost around $33 million, which is Woodridge's debt limit for a bond issue, Levenger said.
The board also approved, as urgent necessity, buying three school buses. Two of the district's older buses recently did not pass inspection by the Ohio State Highway Patrol, and they had already been planning to purchase five new ones, Levenger said.
These three buses are available for purchase now, Davis said, and the usual three-reading process to approve the purchase would take too long to have the buses for the start of school in August. They will not use the two buses that did not pass inspection anymore, he said, but will sell them for scrap.
The board's next regular meeting is scheduled for June 17 at 6 p.m. in the Woodridge High School Library, 4440 Quick Road.

The duo committed to Michigan with little fanfare and, bit by bit, have reestablished the program. Neither player ever averaged double digits or posted glamorous numbers but Zack Novak broke the 1,000 point plateau and Stu Douglass is likely to graduate as Michigan's all-time leader in games played. Most importantly when all is said and done they will have taken the program, which hadn't been to the NCAA tournament in a decade, to the Big Dance in three of their four seasons. Both players would tell you that the memories can wait as Michigan hosts Purdue with a chance to remain perfect at home and within striking dist...

Progressive groups pushing for an increase in New York's minimum wage insist Gov. Andrew Cuomo can do it on his own without having to persuade the Senate's Republican majority to drop its opposition.
The groups cite comments by Yale and Fordham professors who argue Cuomo's labor department already has the power by law to raise the minimum.
The groups including the Strong Economy for All coalition note Tuesday that Cuomo recently used his executive order to enact President Barack Obama's health care program in New York, also avoiding Senate Republican opposition. Cuomo says he supports increasing the wage to $8.50 from the current $7.25 an hour, but New York has never bumped it up without the Legislature's consent.

Cop suspected of firebombing captain's home pleads not guilty

By Sue Epstein
The Star-Ledger
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — Dressed in green jailhouse scrubs with his hands cuffed in front of him, a veteran Edison police officer accused of firebombing his boss' home earlier this week pleaded not guilty yesterday to five charges of attempted murder.
Michael Dotro, 35, a 10-year veteran of the department, is accused of using an incendiary device to start a fire at the Monroe Township home of Edison police Capt. Mark Anderko, a top aide to Chief Thomas Bryan, as Anderko and his family slept inside at around 4 a.m. Monday.
Dotro, arrested Thursday night, appeared somber as he pleaded not guilty to the charges in Superior Court in New Brunswick. In addition to the attempted murder counts, he is also charged with aggravated arson.
