Liked the old UI better than this one cause its easier to get to the shows where as the one automaticall goes to the popular ones :\.
Also its kinda annoying you have to click through a menu to get each episodes information. It makes it really hard when youre browsing through a super long series and want to check the summaries of each one to find which one to watch. It used to be just one tap (the next button on the info page) and now its five =.=
Issue: Video looping to beginning [similar]
iPod Touch, 5.1.1
Shows ive tried so far: Natsume Yuujinchou, Tsuritama
I'm assuming it happens where the ads are suppose to be (speaking of which there havent been any ads playing lately, ... since july?)
It loops to the beginning (on the video bar), has a black screen for 5 seconds or so and then goes back to where it stopped (or a few seconds before)
I would like to know why the available programming is so reduced from what was there on the old app. For example, I was following Nakaimo and now it's gone! It is still on the website but no longer accessible with the new app. I also see that older shows that were listed under the seasons menu are gone. The terms of the Premium membership say's that all the anime videos are available to us and the link to the website lists many, many shows not listed on the new app. Does not seem right. Cost of the membership is not reduced for the reduced catalog available.
Samsung FTW!!!! ^^ kidding
mad at the world that chooses morality over reason and logic
I use a IPhone 4. runs on the IOS 5.1.1it loops because A) by locking the apple device confused it B. you fast/rewind via bar c) when loading
how I bypass this by running a few test i saw that the video fails to play when locked sometimes also in my test that the video going to the amounted time fast forward an example this that you don't want to watch the intro of a 24 min video the intro like 3 min so u skip it after watch perfect fine just when the 3 min left it bounce back to the start. or when loading steam bar (the white bar) i something have to wait to load the part and sometimes that cause to jump back to the start.
hope that helps you crunchyroll
(p.s can i be a crunchyroll Engineer?)
Ipod touch 4 with IOS 5.1.1, I had video looping and problems with video quality
I have Ipod 2g no new upday
having the last version will affect me?
Ipad 1 Last IOS 5.1.1 All problems with every video loop etc.. The queue is not in sync. Not one video is mark as seen, and so on. Please give us the old app and test the new one better !!! What´s about IOS 6 ?
Can you please tell me what kind of device you have? iPhone 3Gs
Can you please tell me what version iOS it is running? 5.1.1
Can you please tell me if this happens over Wi Fi / 3G, 4G? WiFi (3G too but I don't use it often)
I have the looping problem all the time in basically every single show I watch...
also just a few other comments about the app:
I feel like it is missing a lot of things now. It used to have my guestbook linked to it so it was convenient to chat with friends but now it's gone and I need to come to the page itself to guestbook. (and to do that I need to go through the app advertisement and the mobile page)...
We used to be able to arrow through episodes within one show but that function was taken away as well. Although many people use the queue, having a whole entire page for the queue is kinda useless; you can incoorperate that into the anime page. Yeah... that's allI had to complain about.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what

xD no actually I'd say that you're lucky. The new update isn't all that good.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what
iPad 1st Gen
iOS 5.1.1 WiFi
On nearly every show I have watched, eg. Sword Art Online, Naruto, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, etc.
It usually happens around a fourth to halfway through the video, then after restarting and skipping to the part you were at every 2-4 minutes thereafter it loops.
Looping is my only problem, other than that keep up the good work and hopefully the issue (and the others too) will get resolved soon...
Can you please tell me what kind of device you have?
iPod Touch 4
Can you please tell me what version iOS it is running?
Most recent
Can you please tell me if this happens over Wi Fi / 3G, 4G?
Can you please tell me which shows and episodes this has happened during?
Sword Art Online and UtaKoi and their most recent episodes
I tried to skip the Opening songs for each and then it looped to the beginning and I tried to watch it from the beginning and then it went past the Opening song to the 5 minute point approximately and looped again. I had to go through that torture a dozen times... seemed like the "Endless Eight" situation from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Can you please tell me at what time during the show this happened.
Around 8 last night or 9pm PST
Iphone 4s iOS 5.1.1 using WIFI
Video lopping on several shows, 45-60 seconds load times to play, after adds and when fast forward.
This didn't happen on the previews version, a real step backwards.
Sunday ~9pm
iOS 5.1.1
iPhone 4S
Gundam Wing Episodes 1 - 6 so far
When loading videos w/o membership, at scenes such as the end of the OP, eye catcher, and ending where ads are suppose to play, screen turns black, ads do not appear and video does not load, occasionally the video also loops to the beginning of the video.
New iPad (iPad3)
iOS 5
Run into this problem over wifi when I'm 70-75% done an episode then it loops back to the beginning.
Thanks for any help you can provide, looking forward to a retina version of this great app!
I should add I ran into this issue when watching Kuroko's basketball (every episode I have watched) and Hunter x Hunter

Fremont man accused of shooting at fleeing carJASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
January 11. 2013 5:10PM
FREMONT - A Fremont man was arrested Friday on charges he fired a rifle at a car after an early-morning fight last weekend.
Andrew Decoito, 21, of 166 Main St., is charged with felony reckless conduct, simple assault and criminal mischief.
Acting Police Chief Denny Wood said the charges stem from a shooting that followed an altercation between Decoito and four others at his residence on Jan. 5.
One of the victims told police they were shot at multiple times while driving away in a vehicle.
Wood said the shooting occurred shortly after 3 a.m. when the four individuals attempted to flee Decoito's residence.
After a physical altercation, Wood said one victim claimed Decoito reached for an AR-15 rifle, at which point he and three others jumped into a Toyota Corolla and pulled out of the driveway.
"It was alleged that upon fleeing they were fired at by Decoito. While inspecting the vehicle there was evidence that the vehicle was hit by one round and several ricochets," Wood said.
Decoito allegedly fired the rifle while standing outside the residence. Wood said one round struck the left rear quarter panel.
"The incident could have ended up far more serious had the time been slightly different, considering Main Street is a busy road in the town of Fremont," Wood said.
Wood did not provide details on the circumstances that led to the altercation.
Police later executed a search warrant and seized a rifle.
Decoito was arrested on a warrant Friday afternoon and released on $25,000 personal recognizance and $500 cash bail.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 1 at 8 a.m. at the 10th Circuit Court in Brentwood.

Americans in the 1950s still relied heavily on local newspapers for international news. This detailed account of the British reaction to American atomic testing in 1954 shows a growing rift between American policy and British public opinion. The first hydrogen bomb, far more powerful than the weapon that destroyed Hiroshima to end World War 2, was tested by the United States in the Pacific Ocean on November 1, 1952. British leaders across the political spectrum express concern about the American testing of powerful hydrogen weapons in the Pacific. The "British Jitters" were intensified by statements by the American Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, who in January of 1954 had warned of "massive retaliation" by the United States in response to a Russian conventional attack.

Brazil Breaks the Dream of Colombia
Brazil Breaks the Dream of Colombia
Face down in his own end, Brazil's Neymar briefly raised his head before crying out in pain. One of the world's best players was moving -- a good sign -- but that didn't prevent an eerie hush from falling over Estadio Castelao late in the game.
They'd just watch Colombian defender Juan Zuniga recklessly put a knee into Neymar's lower back, dropping the 22-year-old to the pitch with a fractured vertebrae that just dropped Brazil's World Cup odds into a ditch.
Despite advancing following a 2-1 quarterfinal win here Friday night, Brazil bench boss Luiz Felipe Scolari opened his post-game talk by criticizing teams that have targeted this country's star player.
"Everyone knew Neymar was going to be hunted," Scolari said.
It was expected in the Round of 16 against Chile, a game that saw Neymar drilled countless times before Scolari blasted the officiating. The opposite was expected here Friday night. Prior to the match, Scolari insisted a quarterfinal date against Colombia would be full of love and doves.
"Our wars are against Chile, Uruguay and Argentina," Scolari said, promising an entertaining, all South American fixture. "We don't have wars with Colombia. They are happy matches."
Now, a match that was supposed to be joyous has produced a casualty.
54 fouls later -- the most conceded between any two teams at this World Cup -- Scolari's star player was taken to hospital, along with the prayers of a nation that worships their No. 10.
"He was crying out in pain," Scolari told reporters. "It won't be easy for him to recover based on what the doctor told us." Zuniga's challenge capped an ugly night of soccer that saw two of the better sides in the tournament produce a howler.
There were small moments, yes, but the final 60 minutes of this match left so much to be desired, especially after Brazil-Chile produced fireworks in the last round.
"The good players (for both teams) couldn't find continuity," Colombia head coach Jose Pekerman said. "We lost the fluidity of the game. "The tension was very high ... In every play there was a lot of intensity. That interrupted the game."
There was nothing of quality from the run of play, either.
Brazil's Thiago Silva brought the 60,342 in attendance to life when he was left all alone at the back door to finish off a corner before the 10-minute mark. With Colombia failing to produce much of anything going forward, Brazil's Hulk had his best game of the tournament, coming close on two occasions.
The Brazilian big body danced along the left edge of the area twice before the half-hour mark before having his tight-angle efforts pushed away by Colombian 'keeper David Ospina. Heading into the half, it wasn't just Scolari who had complaints about his play-maker. Colombian wonder kid James Rodriguez, the Golden Boot leader after adding to his total, was roughed up throughout the opening 45 minutes.
Brazil's centre back pairing of David Luiz and Silva were fantastic all night, snuffing out everything in the air and most of the balls played to Rodriguez when his back was to goal.
"I believe Brazil was always worried about our players," Pekerman said post-game, describing the match as a cagey affair. "The most important thing for them is winning and moving forward. You can always improve."
Colombia thought it had found and equalizer in the 66th minute when off a restart, the ball fell to Mario Yepes inside the area before the Colombia captain scored in traffic. But the flag was up as replays showed multiple Colombian players were in an offside position when the free kick was taken.
In a cruel game of up and down swings, Luiz struck a knuckling restart from distance minutes later that beat Ospina to double Brazil's lead.
"This is a very hard moment for us," Pekerman said. "We always had the dream of being able to win this match. Knowing Brazil would be tough, we never stopped dreaming."
Those dreams were extended 10 minutes from time when Julio Cesar brought down Carlos Bacca inside the area, allowing Rodriguez convert the ensuing penalty to give the Colombians a lifeline.
"After being absent from a World Cup for a long time, I believe Colombia went a long way to reassess the country," Pekerman said. With Brazil firmly planted in its own half after Neymar was stretchered out of the venue, the Colombians never really threatened to force extra time.
An ill-fated restart in stoppage time for Colombia wasn't converted, bringing an end to a fixture that didn't feature the "happy," if not peaceful brand of soccer we were promised.
"Nobody believed we'd pass the Round of 16," Scolari said, never passing up an opportunity to lash out at the press.
"We did. Our players have skills. We do this with dedication. Based on what we've seen, we knew Germany was in our path to get to the final." Before Friday's quarterfinal, Brazil's squad was blasted for displaying too much emotion. After beating the Chileans in a heart-stopping shootout, multiple players wept.
Now, courtesy a late shot to Neymar's spine, a match that was supposed to be peaceful has produced tears that go beyond the dressing room as this country's star will no longer take part.
Even the world's best have mindless moments. With Brazil's Neymar already out for the remainder of the tournament, the team's captain, Thiago Silva, will also miss next week's semifinal against Germany.
The Brazilian centre back had the bright idea of kicking the ball out of Colombian 'keeper David Ospina's hands just as he was about to launch a ball forward late in the match -- a yellow card offence.

The new thriller "The Purge" imagines a compromised but revitalized American future in which a yearly night of government-sanctioned law-breaking — murder even — gives a brutal-minded national soul therapeutic catharsis. Or, more accurately, it conveniently rids the populace of undesirables who can't defend themselves as well as the moneyed classes. But that's an awfully big concept for the dreary exploitation slog that writer-director James DeMonaco serves up, a routine home invasion movie more interested in B-horror tropes and bloodletting than a thought-provoking look at "Hunger Games"-ish class warfare.
Base of operations is the gated community residence of Purge-cheerleading security system entrepreneur James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) and wife Mary (Lena Headey). Just after lockdown, James' ethics are put to the test when their 14-year-old son Charlie (Max Burkholder) lets in a homeless man (Edwin Hodge) being hunted by thrill-kill preppies in creepy masks.
But it's almost astonishing how little genuine tension exists in the ensuing siege scenario, considering DeMonaco's familiarity with John Carpenter's unnerving classic "Assault on Precinct 13," the clichéd remake of which he wrote. Society may willfully crumble for 12 hours in this speculative world, but so does DeMonaco's premise in a humdrum series of unlit-hallway explorations, cheap scares and violent showdowns. Starved by the easy genre machinations suggested by its own concept, "The Purge" is an emptying experience indeed.

What does it take to make a good man do something evil?
Matthew Rhys (of the upcoming FX drama "The Americans") stars as two nearly identical strangers who find out the answer in "The Scapegoat" (7 p.m. CT Jan. 22, Ovation; 2.5 stars out of 4).
It's 1952 and John Standing plans to get away from it all after being fired from the prep school where he taught Greek. He's drowning his sorrows in a British pub when he runs into his mirror image, Johnny Spence, a conniving man of privilege who wants to escape his responsibilities as well, but for darkly different reasons.
"Bloody hell! You're not the devil by any chance, are you?" Johnny asks John. The wealthy, wicked Johnny proceeds to get the teacher drunk and by morning has disappeared, exchanging his own clothes with those of his doppleganger.
John is forced to take over Johnny's life--Johnny's driver/babysitter believes he's hungover and putting him on when John says he is not Johnny. Back the Johnny's mansion no one believes John either. As Johnny, he has to deal with his double's bad management of his failing family business, a precocious child (Eloise Webb), grudge-holding sister (Jodhi May), unstable wife (Alice Orr-Ewing) and scorned mistress (Sheridan Smith)--who happens to be married to Johnny's brother.
None of these folks like Johnny much, and for good reason. He's an ass.
Rhys brilliantly differentiates the two men, showing John's goodness and Johnny's immorality, and is backed by a great supporting cast. Dame Eileen Atkins is at her most imperial as his opium-addicted mother, Lady Spence, and Andrew Scott, as his hen-pecked and ignored brother, Paul, seems significantly more subdued than as Moriarty in PBS' "Sherlock."
Based on a Daphne du Maurier novel, this made-for-TV movie strains believability at times--really, no one believes John when he says he isn't Johnny, even though he obviously knows nothing about the family?
Still, "The Scapegoat" is a fascinating exploration of the dark side of the self.

text: Gear Posted 01-09-2014 'Original Henry Rifle' Selected as 2014 SHOT Show Rifle Henry Repeating Arms Tribute to B. Tyler Henry Selected As 2014 SHOT Show Auction Rifle The names Henry and Henry Repeating Rifle have echoed through the annals of the American firearms industry since 1860 and the Henry name has taken center stage again as a historic rifle created in tribute to B. Tyler Henry has been selected as the 2014 SHOT Show Auction rifle. Henry Rifle enthusiasts and anyone with an interest in historic rifles may view and bid on this special rifle at http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=383716318 The Henry Repeating Arms Company recently announced that they have begun production of the Original Henry Rifle for the first time in 150 years--and this rifle was selected to receive very special treatment in honor of the rifle's designer, Benjamin Tyler Henry. This revolutionary lever action-repeating rifle was the most important firearm of its time and went on to become one of the most legendary American firearms of all time. Patented in 1860 and used during the Civil War, the rifle's rapid-fire capability and high-capacity tubular magazine stood in amazing contrast to its single-shot musket counterparts. The Henry rifle became known as the rifle you could "Load on Sunday and shoot all week long." After the war, the Henry rifle headed west and went on to play a significant role in the homesteading of that great frontier. Now, the Original Henry Rifle is back in all its American-made glory. The Original Henry Rifle is virtually identical to its history-making forerunner in all aspects, except caliber. The modern rifle is .44-40 caliber. The 1860 version was made in .44 Rimfire. The .44 Rimfire was also invented by B. Tyler Henry, but is now an obsolete cartridge. Every other facet remains true to its inventor and, in his honor, each gun's serial number will begin with the initials BTH. The only exception will be the SHOT Show Henry Tribute rifle, which will feature serial number BTHENRY0001. "The Henry Rifle and its designer, B. Tyler Henry, are deserving of the most thoughtful tribute we can create and Henry Repeating Arms is proud to to create this special tribute and make it available to Henry Rifle enthusiasts," commented Anthony Imperato, a 35-year firearms industry veteran and President of Henry Repeating Arms. "Often a special firearm like this will end up locked away in the company vault or in the collection of the company President," Imperato said. "We are tremendously excited that this rifle will be made available as the 2014 SHOT Show rifle where it can be viewed and bid on by modern day Henry Rifle collectors and fans." These new Original Henry Rifles are likely to find many anxious buyers. Only 13,000 of the original Henrys were manufactured in the 1860s and nice examples have auctioned for more than $500,000.00. According to the Rock Island Auction Company, an iron-framed Henry from the 1860s recently set the record as the most expensive standard nineteenth century American rifle ever sold--with an auction price of $603,750.00. This 2014 SHOT Show Auction Henry only needs to auction for more than $136,014.00 to break the SHOT Show Auction record. The SHOT Show Henry was hand engraved at Baron Engraving of Trumbull, CT. Engraving features the likeness of B. Tyler Henry on the right side of the receiver and a hand engraving of the original Henry factory on the left side. The Baron Engraving artisans have engraved more SHOT Show rifles than any other manufacturer or engraving company. "Our Henry rifles have developed a reputation for handsome wood," commented Imperato. "But I am comfortable in saying that no rifle has ever left our plant with a nicer piece of select American walnut than this B. Tyler Henry Tribute. In keeping with SHOT Show auction tradition, this 2014 SHOT Show rifle is being auctioned exclusively at http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=383716318 Bidding will close at 5:00 pm Eastern Time on Friday, January 17, 2014, the final day of the 2014 SHOT Show. The SHOT Show auction is administered by the Hunting Heritage Trust for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF ). All proceeds from the auction will benefit programs to further America's hunting and shooting sports heritage.

Money questions remain about new stadium
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Now that the Minnesota Vikings will get their new stadium, the worrying can begin over a gambling expansion designed to pay the state's share of the $975 million project.
By passing the final stadium bill Thursday, lawmakers committed the state to raising $348 million by allowing electronic pull-tabs and bingo in bars and restaurants. The financing plan drew skepticism on the bill's way through the Legislature, prompting the sponsors to include backup measures in case the pull-tab dollars don't materialize, including a lottery game and luxury suite taxes.
Gov. Mark Dayton has pledged to sign the stadium bill into law after serving as its chief cheerleader. Backers pushed it through the Legislature after years of failed attempts, despite opposition from no-new-spending Republicans, liberal Democrats and even the top House Republican, Speaker Kurt Zellers. Lawmakers were on the receiving end of an intense outpouring of support from Vikings fans, while the state's business leaders and labor unions also put their clout behind the project. Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak brought $150 million from his city to the table, subject to a City Council vote later this month.
But money questions were on the sidelines Thursday as Vikings fans celebrated the bill's passage. In the Senate gallery, fans broke out in a rendition of the "Skol Vikings!" fight song, earning a reprimand from the Senate secretary.
"Let's build it!" shouted Vikings vice president Lester Bagley, the team executive who spent much of the past decade lobbying for the nearly $1 billion stadium. The new stadium will be built on the downtown Minneapolis site of the 30-year-old Metrodome, an inflatable bubble-topped building the Vikings argued did not generate enough revenue for the team to compete.
On Thursday, the Vikings and the University of Minnesota announced they have reached preliminary agreement on the Vikings' use of TCF Bank Stadium during construction of a new Vikings stadium. Under the agreement, the Vikings will pay the university a fixed fee of $250,000 per game. The combined rent and expected concessions and sponsorship revenue that the Vikings would share with the university would amount to $300,000 per game, or $3 million per regular NFL season. The Board of Regents takes up the agreement Friday, and university President Eric Kaler could sign the letter of intent in the next few days.
The Senate vote capped an amazing comeback for the Vikings' stadium dreams, which just a few weeks ago were fizzling before a visit from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell crystallized fears that the Vikings could leave the state without a new home.
At a celebratory news conference, owner Zygi Wilf recalled when he and his brother Mark first took ownership of the team nearly seven years ago and being asked whether they would move the team.
"We kept on fighting that this day would come, and it's here today," Wilf said.
Dayton publicly thanked the Wilfs for agreeing to a $50 million bump in their share in final negotiations this week.
"Without your willingness to take that last step, we wouldn't have crossed the goal line," the governor said.
The stadium project — with 51 percent of the construction cost covered by taxpayers — comes after years of state deficits and spending cuts to schools, health care and other programs. The state is currently in the black, but a $1 billion-plus deficit is projected for the two-year budget that starts in mid-2013.
"When this doesn't work, it's money right out of schools, right out of welfare, right out of health care, right out of you name it — everything we spend money on," said Sen. Sean Nienow, R-Cambridge, before he cast a vote against the project.
Opponents on both sides of the political spectrum predicted that the state is likely to further expand gambling if the electronic pull-tabs — now just a low-tech paper game offered in bars and restaurants — don't bring in enough money.
"They'll want to double down on the bad deal. We've created a monster here," said Sen. Dave Thompson, R-Lakeville, leader of the conservative faction within the GOP Senate caucus.
Stadium supporters noted that the final deal required the team to round up $477 million from private sources, $50 million more than originally promised.
Sen. Doug Magnus, R-Slayton, said he is confident the gambling money will come through. The bill envisions the new electronic games bringing in $59 million a year in tax revenue by 2014. But if tax collections end up being lower, a sports-themed lottery game and a 10 percent suite tax would kick in. Together the two measures would raise $4 million a year, Magnus said.
"Certainly there are a lot of folks that are never going to support any stadium no matter if a fairy godmother dropped one next door to us," said Magnus, who participated in a legislative group that worked behind the scenes on a bill for two years.
Over the long term, supporters also expect the stadium to be a good deal for the state. Sen. John Harrington, DFL-St. Paul, said he expects the return on the state's investment to be substantial over time. The Metrodome was built for $55 million, including $33 million in public money, and ended up bringing in hundreds of millions in tax revenue over the past three decades. Harrington said he voted yes on the stadium to help put people to work.
"I have 20 percent unemployment on the east side of St. Paul," he said. "I need every job in this bill that we can possibly come up with."
The deal guarantees the Vikings' future in Minnesota for three decades. Bagley said the team's billionaire owners, New Jersey developers Zygi and Mark Wilf, supported the final plan, even with the additional private cost, because time was running out. Senate passage came on the last day the Legislature was allowed to take votes.
"It's a good deal for the state, it's a good deal for our fans and it's a good deal for Minneapolis. It's a fair deal," Bagley said.
The Vikings intend to take advantage of an NFL loan program, sell naming rights and possibly impose seat license fees to help cover the team's end of construction costs. They will be bound by a 30-year lease on the stadium and pay about $13 million a year in operating fees. Minneapolis will kick in about $7 million a year for operating costs, and a public authority will have the power to rent the stadium on non-game days for concerts, conventions and special events such as monster truck rallies.

Last Saturday night, I was driving to the store when I hit a patch of black ice and my car slid and got high-sided in a snow bank. A few minutes later, a sheriffs deputy in his big SUV arrived. I thought, Great, he can pull me out. I was shocked when the officer told me he did not have a tow chain, rope or even a shovel to help me.
As I was trying to call a friend who was actually willing and able to help me, the officer checked my license and registration, and then he insisted on giving me a drunken-driving test. I told him I had not been drinking and he didnt believe me. I passed the test. Then, because one tire was slightly over a ditch, he told me I could not stay in my car, and he would not let me stay in his car. He made me wait 20 minutes in the freezing cold while real help arrived. When my friend showed up, it took less than a minute to pull me out.
This officer was more hassle than he was helpful. If the Sheriffs Department is not equipped or trained to actually help people when they are in need, what good is it?

Me not so horny.
Don't be fooled by all the wars, politics, and equal rights rhetoric – teen sexuality
is a serious issue in America today. Many noble organizations try to thwart teen
sex, but they're getting beaten like gimps at an S&M show by all the lewdness
on TV, and more than ever, video games.
It is ironic, then, that possibly the most powerful anti-sex weapon ever devised has recently been published by Vivendi for the PS2, Xbox and PC under the title Leisure
Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude.
Even though it bears the classic Leisure Suit Larry moniker,
Magna Cum Laude is not really a Leisure
Suit Larry game. Whereas the first few LSL titles
were witty, fun, and interesting PC adventures, Magna Cum Laude is
sleazy, insipid, and downright bad. We are certain that if teenagers around the
country were forced to deal with Magna Cum Laude's insane loading
times and awful gameplay, the mere mention of words such as "Weiner," and "Double
Anal" would send them into fits of boredom and
Cum Laude has three major problem areas: gameplay, design,
and delivery. The story falls somewhere within the domains of design and delivery,
although there's little use in being discerning as the plot is terrible either
way. You play Larry Lovage, nephew of the hilarious Larry Laffer, star of the
old LSL games. You've just gone to college and you're trying
to get on a dating show called Swingles. After introducing yourself to the foul-mouthed
host of the show, you learn that in order to compete in the Swingles competition
you have to present mementos of sexual conquests to the show's crew, thereby
proving your playa status. Huh-huh, dude, in order to score, you've got to, like, score.
Fortunately, scoring is easy as it hinges on playing terrible mini-games. There
are about seven or eight different games that you'll play over and over again
over the course of Magna
Cum Laude, and every one of them sucks. Instead of coming up with interesting
or new ways to play a Leisure
Suit Larry game or even rehashing the inventory puzzles of the originals,
developer High-Voltage Software has you playing games older than Leisure Suit Larry itself.
I'm not exaggerating, by the way. In order to make money in Magna Cum
Laude, you have
to play an 'updated' version of that old arcade game from 1983, Tapper (the
first Leisure Suit Larry came
out in 1987). In this case, you'll be hurling fliers at college students or throwing
food at monkeys. FOR CASH. Since you're regularly forced to buy things in Magna
Cum Laude,
you can expect to play at least a couple hours worth of Tapper.
Tapper. It's almost 2005, by the way.
The other resource in Magna Cum Laude is confidence. If Larry's
confidence level is high, he'll be able to chat up girls and smooth talk his
way into or out of many situations. In order to build confidence, you have to
play a broken timing game that takes place on a trampoline. You always need confidence,
so you can expect to play hours of the trampoline game as well, assuming you
have the patience and perversity to sit through hours of Magna Cum Laude.
Once Larry has money and confidence, he's ready to talk to some girls. This always
involves a mini-game where you guide a sperm down a gauntlet of symbols. If you
hit a green happy face, Larry will say something funny. If you hit a gas-cloud,
Larry will fart. If you hit a penis, Larry will make some non-sequitorial remark
about penises, and if you hit a beer-jug Larry will get slightly drunker…even
if he's not drinking anything. For every girl you hit on, you'll play this game
approximately three times. So by the time you've macked on six girls, you will
have played this same crappy mini-game about eighteen times.
When you've finally talked a girl's ear off, it's time to get her drunk. This
occasionally involves a rousing game of Whack-a-Mole (where you have to press
a button before it disappears), and always means a
game of quarters. To bounce
a quarter, you pull the right stick (or mouse) back and then push it forward.
it. Quarters gets the girls drunk, and then you wind up getting it on with them
in some form or another.
Clearly, the ability to get it on with bare-chested, digital renderings of the
opposite sex is Magna
Cum Laude's most enticing feature. If you manage to drag yourself through
an entire courtship process, you will be treated to about fifteen seconds of
something you've never seen before in a video game, like a slutty, rendered girl
getting banged by a Teddy
bear wearing a strap-on, or a nude band geek getting
pleasured by a guy dressed as a flaming bundle of twigs. On the other hand, in
several cases nothing happens, because Larry mysteriously loses his nerve and
leaps out the window.
Which is exactly what you'll want to do after staring at Magna Cum Laude's
smorgasbord of loading screens. Apparently, the developers at High Voltage had
never heard of streaming, because every time you move from one of the game's
small environments to another, you're treated with a Herculean load time. If
you finish a mini-game, expect to wait a minute and a half. If you leave your
dorm room, it takes a minute. If you go from your dorm room to the Plaid-mart,
you can expect at least five minutes of pure loading.
is bad enough when you know where you're going, but when you need to find
something and are not sure where to look, the loading times become a total nightmare.
No matter what bizarre sexual twists await once you've found whatever item you're
looking for, it is impossible to search for anything in this game. You do not
want to explore, because it takes hours, and this is supposed to be an adventure
game. Aside from how tasteless everything is and how bad the mini-games are,
the loading times make Magna Cum Laude nigh unplayable. Your
average teenage boy could masturbate himself into a coma in the amount of time
it would take Larry to search through three screens.
After the heinous loading times, retarded dialogue and hours of Tapper,
the game's graphical issues are just icing on the cake. Though the frat-house
looks like a frat-house should and some of the digital breasts look great, most
of the game world is bleak and cheap. Magna
Cum Laude's framerate frequently bogs down on all three systems for
no apparent reason, and the animations are repetitive and weak. The trampoline
game is one of the worst looking sequences I've ever seen.
To its credit, and I mean ONE credit, the voice actor who plays Larry Lovage
does a great job by making Larry into a real character as opposed to some
dubbed bunch of polygons with a big head. Indeed, a lot of the voice-acting
is pretty good. However, the music and sound effects suck. 'I'm Too Sexy'
by Right Said Fred is played on a loop during the trampoline game as well as
in several other areas, and the sound effects are largely comprised of fart
noises. Although after a few hours of playing, I was the one making fart noises
with my own mouth.
Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude is one of the worst games
we've ever seen. As much as we'd like to see more sexual content in games, we're
afraid Magna
Cum Laude will do for Mature games what Showgirls did
for NC-17 rated movies. The only reason it's not getting an 'F' is because it
does have quite a few boobs, and we like those a lot. Conversely, we do not like
this game at all. Although it's
hard to ignore the siren call of digital boobery, please, cover your ears and
swear an oath of gaming celibacy. You'll thank us in the morning.

This was some time before I became an atheist, which was some time before I became the observant Roman Catholic I am now. Oddly, the rhetoric of the New Atheist writers—Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens among the most prominent—sounds much more like that of a fundamentalist preacher than like anything I read during my atheist days. Like the preacher, they are supremely self-confident in their ability to dispatch their opponents with a sarcastic quip or two. And, like the preacher, they show no evidence whatsoever of knowing what they are talking about.
Take Daniel Dennett. (Please.) In his book, Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon, he assures us that: "The Cosmological Argument … in its simplest form states that since everything must have a cause the universe must have a cause—namely God"; he then briskly refutes the argument by asking: "What caused God? The reply that God is self-caused (somehow) then raises the rebuttal: If something can be self-caused, why can't the universe as a whole be the thing that is self-caused?"Very good questions, it might seem—except that (as everyone who knows something about the philosophy of religion is aware) that is not what the Cosmological Argument for the existence of God says. In fact, not one of the best-known defenders of the Cosmological Argument in the history of philosophy ever gave this stupid "everything has a cause" argument—not Plato, not Aristotle, not al-Ghazali, not Maimonides, not Thomas Aquinas, not John Duns Scotus, not G.W. Leibniz, not Samuel Clarke, not Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, not Mortimer Adler, not William Lane Craig, not Richard Swinburne. And not anyone else either, as far as I know. Perhaps, like Dennett, you think that when trying to refute some of history's greatest minds, a good strategy would be to attack an argument none of them ever defended. But if not, you might find something better to do with your time than to curl up with Breaking the Spell.
Richard Dawkins is equally adept at refuting straw men. In his bestselling The God Delusion, he takes Aquinas to task for resting his case for God's existence on the assumption that "There must have been a time when no physical things existed"—even though Aquinas rather famously avoids making that assumption in arguing for God. (Aquinas's view was instead that God must be keeping the world in existence here and now and at any moment at which the world exists, and that this would remain true even if it turned out that the world had no beginning.) Dawkins assures us that Aquinas gives "absolutely no reason" to think that a First Cause of the universe would have to be all-powerful, all-good, all-knowing, etc.; in reality, Aquinas devoted hundreds of pages, across many works, to showing just this. Dawkins says that the fifth of Aquinas's famous Five Ways is essentially the same as the "divine watchmaker" argument made famous by William Paley. In fact the arguments couldn't be more different, and followers of Aquinas typically—and again, rather famously (at least for people who actually know something about these things)—reject Paley's argument with as much scorn as evolutionists like Dawkins do.
The Fifth Way: Argument from DesignWe see that natural bodies work toward some goal, and do not do so by chance.Most natural things lack knowledge.But as an arrow reaches its target because it is directed by an archer, what lacks intelligence achieves goals by being directed by something intelligence.Therefore some intelligent being exists by whom all natural things are directed to their end; and this being we call God.
You will find similar howlers throughout the works of the other New Atheists. Their grasp of the chief arguments for the existence of God and related matters is, in short, comparable to the scientific acumen of the college sophomore who thinks the lesson of Einstein's revolution in physics is that "it's all relative, man"—or that of the fundamentalist preacher of my opening example. It's that bad.
If you have any doubt about this, feel free to pick up a copy or three of my book, The Last Superstition, which exposes the errors of the New Atheists, and lays out the case for the existence of God, at rigorous and polemical length. (Sorry, but you're simply not going to get an adequate understanding of the arguments of a Aquinas or a Leibniz—any more than of Darwin's ideas, or Einstein's—from an op-ed piece.) Or, if you don't like polemics and prefer a more sedate academic approach, try my book Aquinas. Or play it safe and buy both.
But you don't have to take my self-promoting word for it. The intellectual frivolousness of the New Atheist literature is by now an open secret. Philosopher and prominent Darwinian Michael Ruse has said that Dawkins's book made him "ashamed to be an atheist" and that Dennett's book is "really bad and not worthy of [him]." Another atheist philosopher, Thomas Nagel, has described Dawkins's "amateur philosophy" as "particularly weak," and his attempts to counter the philosophical difficulties inherent in his own position "pure hand-waving." Literary critic Terry Eagleton—yet another atheist, and a Marxist to boot—characterizes Dawkins' writings on religion as "ill-informed," "shoddy," and directed at "vulgar caricatures." The list of the New Atheists' fellow intellectuals and even fellow atheists who are critical of their work could easily be extended
Or maybe not. Because this is exactly the sort of response Dawkins has made to his critics. Indeed, the "Leprechology" line was in fact uttered by Dawkins himself, in reply to the suggestion that he should learn something about theology and philosophy of religion before commenting on it. Similarly, in the preface to the paperback edition of The God Delusion, he says: "Most of us happily disavow fairies, astrology and the Flying Spaghetti Monster, without first immersing ourselves in books of Pastafarian theology." Yet whether the work of Aquinas, Leibniz, et al., is really comparable to "Leprechology" or "Pastafarianism" in the first place is precisely what is in question—and precisely what people who actually know something about Aquinas, Leibniz, et al., know to be a suggestion that is simply too stupid for words. The reason Dawkins and Co. don't see this is that, like the fundamentalist preacher of my example, they literally refuse to see it. The truth is sitting there, in easily available books, waiting for them to discover it. And yet these apostles of open-mindedness, free thought, critical thinking, and calm rationality insist that they will not look, that they will simply not bother to try to understand the ideas they criticize. (All the same, in the very letter to the editor of The Independent in which he makes his "Leprechology" defense, Dawkins whines that his views have been misrepresented and that the "decent" thing for his critics to do would be to read his book before attacking it! Apparently, the reason Dawkins will not study theology is that he has been too busy studying Yiddish, and wants to show off his mastery of chutzpah.)
What accounts for such madness—for the inability of the New Atheists to see that they are guilty of precisely what they accuse their opponents of, that their position rests on exactly the kind of hypocrisy, willful ignorance, and fallacious reasoning they would not tolerate in others?Well, as our preacher could tell you, one sin leads to another. Like the killer who has to commit a second murder in order to cover up his first one, Dawkins and Co. are able to blind themselves to their sophistries only by perpetrating a further and bolder exercise in rhetorical sleight of hand. In his book The Rediscovery of the Mind, philosopher John Searle once criticized eliminative materialism—a bizarre theory propounded by some contemporary philosophers according to which the human mind does not really exist (don't ask)—for the dishonest way in which its adherents often respond to their many critics:
Another rhetorical device for disguising the implausible is to give the commonsense view a name and then deny it by name and not by content. Thus, it is very hard even in the present era to come right out and say, "No human being has ever been conscious." Rather, the sophisticated philosopher gives the view that people are sometimes conscious a name, for example, "the Cartesian intuition," then he or she sets about challenging, questioning, denying something described as "the Cartesian intuition"… And just to give this maneuver a name, I will call it the "give-it-a-name" maneuver. (4–5)Well, the New Atheists have incorporated this "'give-it-a-name' maneuver" into their own rhetorical bag of tricks, and the name they've chosen is "The Courtier's Reply." The label comes from Dawkins' fellow biologist and atheist P.Z. Myers, and it refers to an imagined defense a court sycophant might give of the naked emperor of Hans Christian Anderson's famous story: "Haven't you read the detailed discourses of Count Roderigo of Seville on the exquisite and exotic leathers of the Emperor's boots?" etc. The idea is that complaining about a New Atheist's lack of theological knowledge is no better than the courtier's complaint that the naked emperor's critics haven't read the works of Count Roderigo. In other words, it is just the same old question-begging "Leprechology" and "Pastafarianism" pseudo-defense, now tarted up with a clever marketing tag.
How does it work? Well, suppose you confront a New Atheist with the overwhelming evidence that his "objections" to Aquinas (or whomever) are about as impressive as the fundamentalist's "chicken/egg" objection to evolution. What's he going to do? Tell the truth? "Fine, so I don't know the first thing about Aquinas. But I'm not going to let that stop me from criticizing him! Nyah nyah!" Even for a New Atheist, that has its weaknesses from a PR point of view. But now, courtesy of Myers, he's got a better response: "Oh dear, oh dear … not the Courtier's Reply!" followed by some derisive chuckling. One's intelligent listeners will be baffled, wondering how shouting "Courtier's Reply!" is supposed to excuse not knowing what one is talking about. And one's more gullible followers—people like the www.infidels.org faithful who have been buying up The God Delusion by the bushel basket—will be thrilled to have some new piece of smart-assery to fling at their religious friends in lieu of a serious argument. In the confusion, the New Atheist can slip out the back door before anyone realizes he hasn't really answered the question. Call it "the Myers Shuffle," and feel free to fling that label back at the next fool atheist who thinks yelling "Courtier's Reply!" should be enough to stop you in your tracks.
So, the New Atheist covers up one fallacy with another. But how do otherwise-intelligent people get themselves into this rhetorical regress in the first place? Here we need to turn from logic to politics and psychology. Dawkins and Co. have an enormous political stake in the claim that religion is inherently irrational. They want a society in which religious believers are no more welcome in the public square than racists or Holocaust deniers are. To admit that there really are respectable arguments for religion—that it is something about which reasonable people can disagree—would be at once to admit that all the extremist talk about religion being tantamount to child abuse, no more worthy of respect than belief in the tooth fairy, etc., goes out the window. It would have to be conceded that Catholic theologians and Jewish rabbis, say, have as much right to be heard on matters of public policy as boozy Vanity Fair columnists and writers of popular-science books.

A 13-year-old bicycle rider was injured in a hit-and-run accident tonight, police said.
The boy, whose name was withheld, was hit by the mirror of a mini-van or small SUV, according to Sgt. Richard Kinney. The accident happened on Mechanic Street near Gove Farm.
Police said the boy called his mother on a cellphone. She picked him up and took him home, Sgt. Kinney said, and she also retrieved a black mirror she believes came from the vehicle that hit her son.
She called an ambulance and police at 8:39 p.m., he said. The youth was taken from his home to HealthAlliance Hospital by ambulance.
Sgt. Kinney said the suffered a head injury, a possible broken foot, and multiple bruises and scrapes. Police do not have description of the vehicle that hit the boy.

TRIPOLI, Lebanon (AP) — Gunmen cheerfully shared coffee and cigarettes with men they have tried to kill with assault rifles, grenades and mortars. Women on balconies hurled rice to celebrate. Men chanted giddily to welcome soldiers deploying to the streets of this northern Lebanese city.
In a day as joyful as it was unlikely, weary residents of two Tripoli neighborhoods on Wednesday celebrated as hundreds of Lebanese soldiers deployed in the most determined plan yet by the government to stabilize an area that for the past year has been increasingly drawn into the civil war in neighboring Syria.
Khaki-clad Lebanese soldiers in APCs used bulldozers to scrape away sandbag fortifications used by gunmen, pushing aside dumpsters used as barricades. Residents spoke of arrest raids targeting wanted gunmen. The 3G cellular connection was cut, preventing gunmen from using the WhatsApp messaging system.
"They threw rice on me! It's like a dream," said 19-year-old Abdullah as he walked in a spontaneous demonstration for unity between rival neighborhoods.
The security plan is an important test case for whether Lebanon can reverse its slide into conflict, fueled by violent sectarian tensions trigged by the war next door, particularly between the country's Sunnis and Shiite Muslims.
Bab Tabbaneh is mostly Sunni, whose residents support Syrian rebels in their war to overthrow President Bashar Assad. Jabal Mohsen residents are mostly Alawite, and loyal to Assad, who shares their faith, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
The Syria tensions added to decades of bad blood between the two areas, stretching back to Lebanon's 15-year civil war that ended in 1990.
Exhaustion and frustration with months of fighting likely contributed to the jovial mood Wednesday, which many skeptics predicted would not last. Even among the celebrations, residents said their rivalries hadn't ended.
Some young men in Bab Tabbaneh skulked in back streets, eyeing soldiers as they smoked water pipes. A group of men near a juice stand resentfully hurled fireworks on the ground near soldiers.
But the pause in fighting offered relief from flaring clashes that have killed over 200 people in the past three years. The clashes have destroyed businesses, impoverished families and battered the two neighborhoods, where buildings are riddled with bullets and gaping mortar holes.
"People here are fed up of clashes and shelling. We don't want to see any more houses under fire or any more families forced to flee," said Abdul Qader Hamzeh, 28. "We don't want to face what the Syrians are facing."
The pause also reminded residents of older family ties between the two areas, connected by alleys and a shared sense of abandonment by the state.
On a street where only snipers trod, two old friends hugged and laughed.
"Jabal Mohsen and Bab Tabbaneh are only two steps from each other," said Abu Yusef, of the Alawite neighborhood. "Politicians intervened so they could destroy us," said the 30-year-old. His friend, Abu Haitham, a Sunni, said some of his relatives married Alawites of Jabal Mohsen, and he struggled with the idea that they were enemies.
Abu Yusef joked that he was going to find a Sunni bride.
Nearby, young men in Bab Tabbaneh cheered around soldiers patrolling on foot and in armored vehicles, shouting: "The people and the army are one hand!"
Last week, two Lebanese soldiers were killed during their deployment here.
On Wednesday, dozens of young men rushed to a muddy alleyway linking the two neighborhoods, some trying to enter, others peeking curiously. Lebanese soldiers pushed metal barriers to stem the chaos.
One Alawite fighter, Abu Ali, pointed to where he usually aimed his guns at Sunnis below — an area now occupied by Lebanese soldiers. Later, he chatted with gunmen from Bab Tabaneh.
"It was nice," he said. "I hope we go back to the way we were before, when we married from them, and they married from us."
Echoing a refrain across the two neighborhoods, he said the state hadn't provided enough security to quell flaring problems, and that residents carried weapons for self-defense.
"Where was the army before?" grieved Rania Idlibi, 37, of Jabal Mohsen — a Sunni who married an Alawite decades ago.
Soldiers had deployed in the past, but rarely for long, because they never had enough backing from all of Lebanon's quarreling sides to act firmly.
Even in this deployment, which began Tuesday, top wanted men fled — or were allowed to flee. Lebanese military officials would not comment.
Lebanon's politicians are deeply divided over the Syrian war, and until February, the country was left without a government for nearly a year over it.
The government is now expected to limp along until a new president is elected by March 25 and forms his own cabinet.
Many residents said they were enjoying the deployment as a respite from battles they considered pointless but fueled by Lebanon's persistent political instability.
"We are poor here and they are poor there," said Idlibi. "All these people who died — who did they die for?"

Last month, we shed a tear at the news that Bellator had cut ties with beloved ring girl Jade Bryce, who explained that the promotion has "chosen to go in a different direction for the new year." Well, today we learned what that "direction" was. Bellator has announced that model/singer Summer Daniels has been hired as the new ring girl for Bellator, and she'll be making her debut this Friday at Bellator 132: Pitbull vs. Straus in Temecula, CA.
Summer's biggest claim to fame is that she's the only woman to appear on the cover of Hustler without getting nude inside the magazine, which is a pretty impressive achievement, I guess. The Malibu-based model also has a lot of experience doing live promo and ring girl work, including gigs as a Monster Girl (with longtime Bellator babe Mercedes Terrell) and as a Corona Girl.
Check out 15 of our favorite Summer Daniels photos in the gallery above, and follow her on Instagram and Twitter for lots more.

Rare is the designer who ends up killing his own design. John Gall, art director for Vintage Books, had already received approval for his cover of Remainder, the critically acclaimed 2007 debut novel by British writer Tom McCarthy. For the story of a man with head trauma who uses his settlement money to stage recreations of his scant remaining memories, Gall's initial idea was "to treat the cover as if it were a slightly damaged artifact," he says. (The concept also nods to the shopworn state of remaindered books.) But Gall had doubts about his own design, and worried that it was too sedate for a first novel being published as a paperback original. "I thought it needed a little something," he says, "some color." His concern led to a series of experiments submerging type in blue liquid, complete with a water tank, various shades of blue dye, and an assistant to swirl the fluid. At the last minute, a new cover was born. "It ended up feeling like we were rehearsing one of the scenes in the book as we slowly lowered the book in and out of the water again."
Paul Buckley, executive creative director for Penguin Books, came up with a bounty of possible covers for God Is Dead, a 2007 collection of short stories by debut writer Ron Currie, Jr. Each expands on the book's fantastic premise: God lands on Earth in the Darfur region, taking on the form of a poor woman, who dies and is eaten by a pack of wild dogs. The dogs begin to speak about the deicide; Currie's stories recount the frantic effect the news has upon various characters. Buckley says that his favorite idea was a collage of a falling coffin superimposed
Gabriele Wilson / How Perfect Is That by
Sarah Bird / Knopf
"Editors sometimes need to see what doesn't work, in order to figure out what does work," says freelance designer Gabriele Wilson. That process was taken to extremes when Wilson conceived a cover for Sarah Bird's How Perfect is That. The novel, originally titled Weightless, has at its center a fallen Texas society woman who hopes to re-enter her old milieu by opening a high-end catering service. Wilson's earliest comp showed a woman out cold. "But they felt that she looked dead," Wilson says. Pushed to make the jacket "lighter, more fun," she says, she experimented with putting status symbols in floating bubbles. When the title changed, the direction shifted, and Wilson thought
the braying ladies in Jessica Craig-Martin's party photographs were ideal—"very decadent and over-the-top." The consensus: The women were too old. In the end, Wilson collaborated with Portland, Oregon photographer John Clark to create a great leg shot: "He had all these models coming in and standing on their heads," she says. Wilson is happy with the finished cover, which isn't too different from her earliest concept.

Working for The Man
Note that the word "The" in the title of this post has a capital "T", because it's "The Man", not "the Man".
In 1962, Roy Orbison recorded "Working For The Man." Wikipedia says that the song is
about a mistreated laborer. After first thinking about killing the boss, the narrator later dreams of getting revenge by marrying his daughter and inheriting the business. In the final refrain, the eponymous hook is replaced with the line, "I'm gonna be The Man."I wonder if there's a Brittanica entry for "The Man".

Lakers sign free agent C Chris Kaman
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers signed free agent center Chris Kaman on Friday after Dwight Howard's departure for Houston.
Kaman averaged 10.5 points and 5.6 rebounds while starting 52 of 66 games for Dallas last season. He averaged a career-low 20.7 minutes.
His deal with the Lakers is reportedly for one year at $3.2 million.
It will be Kaman's second straight season on a one-year contract. He had an $8 million deal to be the starter in Dallas last season but spent more than half of every game on coach Rick Carlisle's bench.
The 10-year NBA veteran has also played with the Clippers and New Orleans in his career.
Kaman made the 2010 All-Star team. As a dual citizen of the U.S. and Germany, he played for the German team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Binghamton blanks Fisher Cats behind effort of Montero
John Tolisano leaps over the sliding Darrell Ceciliani after throwing to first for a successful double play to end the first inning. (JAY REITER/Union Leader)
MANCHESTER - Binghamton's Rafael Montero got the best of Fisher Cat starter Marcus Walden to lift the Mets to a 3-0 win on Saturday afternoon at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
Walden allowed nine hits and one run in his six and two-third innings, his longest stint in Double A.
The Fisher Cats managed four hits in six innings off Montero and five for the game while being shut out for the first time this season.
New Hampshire sends right-hander Deck McGuire (1-1, 3.06) to the mound this afternoon at 1:35 in an attempt to salvage a split of the four-game series. Logan Verrett, 2-0 with a 2.75 ERA, is due to pitch for Binghamton.
The Mets won the series opener 4-3 on Thursday night and the Fisher Cats took Friday night's game, 5-2.
A Darrell Ceciliani single to left knocked in Wilfredo Tolvar with what proved to be the winning run in the top of the sixth inning.
Cory Vaughn's two-run homer off reliever Matt Wright gave Binghamton some breathing room in the eighth inning.
The Fisher Cats got the tying run to the plate in the ninth inning, but stranded a pair of runners to end the game. Right fielder Brad Glenn had two of the Fisher Cat hits and Kevin Ahrens had a double for their only extra base hit.
New Hampshire fell to 8-9 with the loss and is in sixth and last place in the Eastern Division, a half game behind New Britain.
After closing out the Binghamton series Sunday, the Fisher Cats are off on Monday and then play New Britain on Tuesday (6:35 p.m.), Wednesday (5:05 p.m.) and Thursday (10:35 a.m.) to wrap up the current homestand.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — President Benigno Aquino III on Thursday rejected the Philippine energy secretary's offer to resign for failing to meet his self-imposed target to restore power in all typhoon-ravaged towns by Christmas Eve, an official said.
Aquino instead praised Jericho Petilla for "excellent performance" for re-energizing 317 of 320 towns that lost power after Typhoon Haiyan hit last month, presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said.
It was originally estimated it would take up to six months to restore power but Petilla managed to do most of the work in 40 days, he said.
Haiyan's ferocious wind and storm surges knocked down thousands of transmission towers and electric posts including in worst-hit Tacloban city in Leyte province, where a major geothermal plant was damaged, officials said.
Aquino said "he has no intention of losing the services of an honorable public servant," according to Lacierda.
While power has been restored to grids, many houses and businesses could not connect due to damaged wiring and toppled electric posts. As a result, many people spent Christmas in the dark, including in Tacloban, where only a few downtown streets had lights working.
The Nov. 8 typhoon killed at least 6,100 people in the central Philippines, displaced at least 4 million others and left its most gruesome mark on Tacloban, a city of 240,000 that will need years to recover.

In Reply to: Soufflée?? posted by Bruce Kahl on August 08, 2004
: : What *soufflée* could be,when it stands alone ? As in ---This is a very admirable soufflée. ---
: : Could this be omelette? Or it's a kind of dessert? Thank you.
: A food preparation which expands,blows up or expands when cooked. It doesn't blow up like BOOM, it just sorta puffs up.
: It is from the L***n word "sufflaro" or "sublare" meaning to expand or increase in size.
CJK, all I know is that they're bl**dy hard to make. As far as I'm aware, and given I've only so far created failures, this could be wrong - souffle's are made from only the egg whites, thus differentiating them from most omelettes (although they too can be made from the whites, but not usually).
Souffles are usually desserts I believe, however there are savoury varieties, and they were the kind I sadly attempted to make.
You make them like you make meringues (in terms of beating the hell outta the whites until they form peaks), then you bake them, at which time, as Bruce says, they rise all big and fluffy.
But then, it seems to me you dare not so much as breathe the wrong way or they will drop and furthermore, if you cook them for a millisecond too long, they end up like rubbery things - which my dogs have found useful as play toys.
But another point - I thought the spelling was souffle (with one 'e'), however, I've just looked it up and it appears that spelt with one 'e', describes the end result - ie. the name of the dish. Whereas, spelled in what appears to me to be the feminine (two 'e's), is the act of creating the dish, ie. filling the dish with air by beating, then baking.
As for your quote "a very admirable soufflee", well in my experience, anyone who can create a successful and edible souffle is indeed admirable!!!

The defense of the Las Lomas High football team dominated in front of a lively home crowd Friday night, helping the Knights claim a Diablo Foothill Athletic League victory over Dublin.
"Tonight was a special night," Las Lomas coach Doug Longero said. "They did a good job on homecoming to play that well, it's exciting."
Las Lomas (3-4, 2-1 DFAL) set the tone early by forcing a fumble on the second play from scrimmage. It was just a precursor of things to come for both sides.
The Knights' Adam Wood hit 16 for 21 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns and had a 2-yard scoring run with 7:56 left in the third quarter to give his team a 24-0 lead.
Kyle Hill (18 carries, 70 yards and a touchdown), Brayton Milner (six catches, 59 yards and a touchdown) and Robby Ow (115 yards from scrimmage) also had big games for the Knights.
Dublin (4-3, 2-1) didn't record a first down until the fourth quarter, as it lost star running back Ondre Rudolph to an apparent leg injury near the end of the first quarter. He needed assistance from the field.
The Gaels blocked a kick, and Josh Yu returned it 70 yards for a touchdown, and quarterback Miguel Arroyo had a 1-yard keeper for a score to account for Dublin's points.
Las Lomas 31, Dublin 14
Dublin 0 0 8 6– 14
LL — Howard 21 FG
LL — Hill 7 run (Howard kick)
LL — Bromstad 26 pass from Wood (Howard kick)
LL — Wood 2 run (Howard kick)
D — Yu 70 blocked kick return (Thurman pass from Arroyo)
LL — Milner 5 pass from Wood (Howard kick)
D — Arroyo 1 run (pass failed)
Rushing: D — Arroyo 4-22, Millinder 8-20, Rudolph 1-3. Totals 13-45. LL — Hill 18-70, McGoff 8-61, Ow 2-50, Bromstad 4-16, Wood 1-2, Fulks 1-(-2). Totals 34-197. Passing: D — Arroyo 5-11-0 33. LL — Wood 16-21-0 198. Receiving: D — Thurman 3-20, Jefferson 1-8, Dorsett 1-5. LL — Milner 6-59, Fulks 5-20, Ow 2-65, Miller 2-28, Bromstad 1-26. Fumbles/lost: Dublin 1/1; Las Lomas 0/0. Records: Las Lomas 3-4, 2-1 DFAL; Dublin 4-3, 2-1.

Ultimate Issues
Using a coffeehouse setting, Dr. Sproul encourages students to question popular notions about the ultimate issues of life. Featuring student video interviews, he shows the inadequacy of secularism to provide a basis for finding any meaning in life or for making any value judgements at all. He shows that questions of human dignity must rely on a biblical understanding of the nature of God and of man. He discusses arguments for God's existence, the Bible's validity, and Christ as the only way. Powerful, timely teaching for young people.

NEW YORK (AP) — The price of oil rose Monday after a strong durable goods report in the U.S.
Demand for long-lasting manufactured goods rose sharply in December with gains in volatile aircraft orders, the Commerce Department said. But the number of pending home sales fell last month after hitting a 2 ½ year high in November.
Benchmark oil rose 56 cents to finish at $96.44 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
It's a big week for U.S. economic indicators. In addition to Monday's data, the government will release reports on weekly jobless claims, unemployment and fourth-quarter growth. And the Federal Reserve's policy committee holds a two-day meeting that concludes on Wednesday.
At the pump, the average price for a gallon of gas rose over the weekend to $3.35, the highest level since the second week of December.
Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, rose 20 cents to end at $113.48 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline rose 6 cents to finish at $2.94 per gallon.
— Natural gas fell 16 cents to end at $3.29 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Heating oil rose about half a cent to finish at $3.06 a gallon.

EUR/USD (FOREX:EURUSD) found support on Friday after the nonfarm payrolls report around 1.3100 area, from which we have seen a more than 80-pip rally back to the wave 2-wave 4 trendline. Usually when this occurs it means that a five wave decline is complete and that the market reversed into a temporary correction. As such, we are now tracking an A-B-C retracement back to 1.3225-1.3250 region before we may turn bearish again. In that zone, we can also see a former wave four that may react as a reversal level and cause a new sell-off for the pair.
EUR/USD 4h Elliott Wave Analysis
Meanwhile, we also are tracking GBP/USD (FOREX:GBPUSD), which is stronger than EUR/USD lately, but it also has a bearish wave structure. Rally from March low on GBP/USD is a complex pattern most likely a flat in wave 2 where we may see test of 1.5750 this week after recent bounce from the lower side of a current upward channel. However, this new high will be just a final leg, fifth wave within wave (C), so larger bearish trend remains in view but GBP/USD just needs more time to turn down when compared to EUR/USD, but we think that sooner or later pound will also turn south and catch the euro weakness.
