Organic Cotton
In 1996, with an increased awareness of the dangers of pesticide use and synthetic fertilizers in growing conventional cotton, we began the exclusive use of organically grown cotton in all of our cotton products.
The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, for now, costs more. But it's worth it.
To ensure we are buying cotton that is organic as defined by the USDA's National Organic Program, we require numerous certificates issued by an accredited third-party certification body for every step of the supply chain, from farm to factories.

So here I am deciding which fantasy players to start this week in my yahoo league.
I have Cutler and Forte....
My logical mind says I would be an idiot NOT to start them this week. If I wasn't a Hawk fan I would be excited but right now all I want to do is cry. I could use Aaron Rogers at QB but GB just lost their starting LT. Sigh......Of course they are playing the Rams this week. Both are road games.
I just can't get pumped up for football this weekend.
It's going to be a long year for the Hawks which means a lot of drunk, sobbing with my beer Sundays.

Heineken's 'Dropped' series takes people far from home and exposes them to new environments. The videos hardly include any mention of Heineken or beer, but that's not preventing them from gaining attention.
Heineken isn't filming close-ups of ice-water drenched beer bottle being passed around on a hot summer day, at least not in their most recent marketing campaign.
The schtick? People from all around the world are plucked from the comfort zones by Heineken and dropped in strange, faraway places with little or no indication of what's next.
And it's working.
'Dropped' calls YouTube its home base, and features only 24 videos. But the video account has more than 6,000 followers, and its videos have hundreds of thousands of views.
Sometimes, you have to get away from your product, or even your core message, to reach a broader audience.
What do you think: is it worth the effort and the money to leave out the beer and spread the brand name and the sense of adventure they want associated with Heineken?
Let us know in the comments.

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany is set to step up his return following his recovery from injury.
The Belgium international has been on the sidelines for the past five games following a calf problem he sustained during the 1-0 victory over Stoke in the FA Cup fourth round.
The towering defender suffered a further setback to his recovery when he injured his other calf, but the centre-back is confident of a return to the first team next week.
After being asked on Twitter when he will return, Kompany said: "All goes well, I should be joining up with the team towards end of the week."
Roberto Mancini will welcome the return of his captain as the club face the last 10 games of the season 12 points behind bitter rivals Manchester United in the fight for the Premier League title.

Mount Juliet Church of Christ or Mt. Juliet Church of Christ
My name is Trey. I am the education and worship minister at the Mount Juliet church of Christ. A good start of who we are would be to visit our website at http://www.mtjuliet.org There you will find a lot of detail about the ministers and elders, the things we are involved in, etc. You can also read tons of church history on this website. This particular congregation has been around since the late 1800's, located in the same spot in Mt. Juliet, TN. Don't let the age fool you however. Although we are very conservative to our roots and the words of the Bible, we are also very forward thinking and would like to be considered more current than not, when it comes to the public's eye. So already, when I think of a logo...I see one that touches both the conservative and progressive eye - and pleases both. We are looking for that "mark", that logo which identifies us as "The church of Christ in Mount Juliet, TN". When people see our logo, they immediately identify that logo with the church in their area (whether they can read the words or not). Mount Juliet or Mt. Juliet can be used - whatever the artist thinks is best. It has been said before by our preaching minister that the use of the "M" and "J" to form 3 crosses would be cool. Again, we'll leave that up to the artists. We're open to anything. Anything that sticks and leaves an impression.
Over 1000 members of the Mount Juliet church and hundreds of thousands of people in this city that we are trying to reach so we can share Jesus with them.
This will be short...I mentioned the 3 crosses idea above. That's not required - just an idea. We are wide open. We'll be printing this logo on literally dozens and dozens of items such as shirts, cups, stationary, car tags, braclets, etc. Would like to have a good "printable" logo. Just make sure the name is included in one of two ways below:
Mount Juliet Church of Christ
Mt. Juliet Church of Christ
Thank you! Looking forward to the results! Let me know if there are any questions!
God Bless.

Two men are facing drunken driving charges after one allegedly drove to the police station to bail out the other.
Sturbridge police arrested Joshua J. Shewchuk, 32, of Southampton, about 2:30 p.m. Saturday after he was caught driving after his license had been revoked. He told police he�d been at an ice fishing derby and refused to take a breath test, though police believe he was under the influence.
Police later arrested Mr. Shewchuk�s friend, Brad C. Anderson, 33, of Waltham, after he drove to the police station just before 4 p.m. with bail money. An officer noticed that he, too, appeared to be drunk, police said in a news release.
Mr. Anderson told Officer David Fortier �he was the most sober person in his group.� He was arrested in the police station lobby.
Both men are scheduled to be arraigned in Dudley District Court today on drunken driving and other charges.

Gassed at work: Was there a question in there somewhere?
I'm going to let you in on a little secret: The quarterly analyst calls that automakers conduct are like gold mines -- filled with valuable nuggets, but with dangerous pockets of trapped gas threatening at every turn.
For the most part, the problem is not the automakers or their executives.
Oh no, the dangerous gasbags are the analysts.
Chrysler Group's analyst call on Wednesday morning was a classic example. After a quickly paced, fact-rich 23-minute presentation by CEO Sergio Marchionne and CFO Richard Palmer, the executives invited questions.
And the first questioner out of the gate -- an analyst who opined more than he actually inquired -- took 3 minutes and 11 seconds to reach the conclusion of his three- or four-part query. (Honestly, I lost track of how many parts his question had, even after I listened to it again today just so I could time how long he spoke.)
To put that in perspective, 3 minutes and 11 seconds is more than enough time to make a sandwich or take a shower or even do a Sudoku puzzle, depending on your skill. And it's definitely enough time to ask a question, even one in four parts, unless you're more interested in listening to yourself talk than you are in getting answers.
This analyst wasn't alone by any means (though it should be noted that he did a command performance an hour later on the Fiat S.p.A. analysts' call with another question of Palmer and Marchionne that was also ridiculously long). A number of other analysts on the call testified more than they questioned, offering seemingly insincere "congratulations" and "good-job" prefaces before their deep dives into Chrysler's financials.
Marchionne and Palmer hadn't yet gone through the new five-year product plan that had been attached to the online slides on the presentation. The product plan was a bonus nugget sure to attract much attention from those participating on the call and interested in Chrysler's future. But it got just the briefest of mentions because of all the time spent on the 90-minute call as analysts spoke more than they listened.
Look, I'm not fully discounting what analysts do in the markets. Their jobs are important if investors are to get a clear picture of what companies are doing with their money. All I'm saying is that everybody participating in or listening to these earnings calls has something else they need to do.
I asked a spokeswoman for Chrysler if she'd like to comment on the ridiculous lengths of the analysts' questions during the call. She acknowledged what had happened, but her response was pure poetry. "I'll make it short and sweet," she said. "No comment."
So, analysts, if you can, please, for the love of God, just ask your %$##!!! questions.

Another volley of shots has been fired in the currency wars with the Bank of Japan raising its inflation target to 2% from 1% and committing to open-ended monetary easing next year, which is partly designed to weaken the JPY. This is likely to unleash a series of reactionary events from across the globe.
The Japanese yen rallied on the announcement — a case of buy on the rumor, sell on the news. It wasn't as strident as some in the markets had expected. However, the direction of travel is very clear.
It's a very worrying escalation in the currency wars to see the world's third largest economy so openly attempting to devalue its currency in the face of G20 commitments not to do so. Also, of concern is that the Bank of Japan has been "bullied" into this position by the newly elected government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It represents a further slide toward central banks becoming politicized and therefore less independent. In the long run that is likely to damage their credibility with the markets.
On top of that, the current BoJ governor, Masaaki Shirakawa, steps down in April and Abe has talked about finding a replacement who "fully understands that the Bank of Japan has a big role and a clear role in maximizing jobs." Rhetoric that echoes the U.S. Federal Reserve's commitment to target a US unemployment rate of 6.5%. That suggests that the next governor of the BoJ may well pursue its new mandate aggressively.

Sigel Camp #614 ended its first year with officer elections on Dec. 9. Rolla resident C. Scott Brown, a charter member of the group, was elected its new commander. He replaces Camp Commander Randal A. Burd, Jr., who organized the camp, which was chartered in December of 2011.
Sigel Camp #614 ended its first year with officer elections on Dec. 9.
Rolla resident C. Scott Brown, a charter member of the group, was elected its new commander. He replaces Camp Commander Randal A. Burd, Jr., who organized the camp, which was chartered in December of 2011.
Other officers elected for the coming year are: PCC Randal A. Burd Jr., senior vice Commander/signals officer; Steve Allen, secretary/treasurer/Eagle Scout award coordinator; Reth Allen, council/patriotic instructor/graves and monuments registrar; Randal A. Burd Sr., council / ROTC Award coordinator; and Milan Paddock, council.
Sigel Camp #614, Department of Missouri, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, couldn't have had a better first year. The camp, chartered in December 2011, and active from the start, was honored this past August with the national Joseph S. Rippey Award as the "Most Outstanding New Camp in the 2011-2012 Administrative Year."
This award was conferred by the National Organization's Commander-in-Chief Donald Palmer at the 2012 National Encampment in Los Angeles, California.
This patriotic lineage and service organization has worked hard this year to earn and to build on this achievement. Randal A. Burd, Jr. was elected Secretary of the Department of Missouri (which includes Arkansas) this past summer. Sigel Camp #614 co-sponsored a Sesquicentennial Event in Newburg this summer, held a fundraiser with Jimmie John's Gourmet Sandwich Shop in Rolla, and subsequently worked at several events in the region to educate the public about the organization and to honor the veterans of the Civil War who fought to preserve the Union.
Events in which the camp participated include Newburg Day, the annual Patriot Day Rally in Lions Club Park in Rolla, a Sesquicentennial Event of the Felix St. James Camp #326 in St. Genevieve, Franklin County Day at Meramec Caverns in Stanton, and Old Iron Works Days at Maramec Springs.
The group educates the public at these events by setting up a table display of artifacts, replicas, and literature, and answering the questions of curious attendees. Brown brings authentic food such as hardtack, ginger cookies, pickled eggs and pickled bologna for brave students of history to sample. Camp members often dress in period uniform or civilian clothing, and include family members, such as Brown's wife, Jenee, who also dress the part.
At times, there may be weapon demonstrations or skits based on local historical events, such as in St. Genevieve on Sept. 29, when Commander Burd participated in a historical skit as one of several uniformed federal soldiers of the 78th Enrolled Missouri Militia.
The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War are always seeking descendants of Union veterans to join their ranks. Sigel Camp's next meeting is Jan. 13, 2013, 3 p.m., at Columbia College in Rolla. For more information or to get involved, attend the next meeting or email PCC Randal A. Burd Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"I'm writing to propose a six week delay in the release date of Dapper, in order to do additional validation, certification, localisation, and polish. Work towards our feature goals for Dapper is very much on target. However, in some senses Dapper is a 'first' for us, in that it is the first 'enterprise quality' release of Ubuntu, for which we plan to offer support for a very long time. I, and others, would very much like Dapper to stand proud amongst the traditional enterprise linux releases from Red Hat, Debian and SUSE as an equal match on quality, support and presentation." And on a related note, Ubuntu now runs on Sun's UltraSPARC T1 (Niagara) processor too.

DC Flora Herbarium
The Department of Botany in the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), Smithsonian Institution (SI), maintains the D.C. (District of Columbia) Herbarium as a separate part of the worldwide U.S. National Herbarium. The D.C. Herbarium, now enlarged to cover the Washington-Baltimore Area, includes a separate section for Plummer's Island, MD, a much studied island in the Potomac just below the American Legion ("Cabin John") Bridge of the Capital Beltway. The DC Herbarium holds over 57,000 specimens.
Query the DC Specimen Database
Visit the DC Gazetteer
The D.C. Herbarium, as originally compiled, was the basis for A.S. Hitchcock's and Paul Standley's Flora of the District of Columbia and Vicinity (1919), which covered a 15-mile radius from the Capitol. As expanded in the 1940s, it was the basis for Frederick Hermann's Checklist (1941, 1946) for the Washington-Baltimore Area. Recently, it was used by Stanwyn Shetler to revise the Checklist.
Herbarium specimens are plants that have been pressed, dried, mounted flat on large sheets of heavy, acid-free paper, and labelled with essential collecting data, a procedure following time-honored practice.
Living specimens of many of the region's native wildflowers have been planted in Fern Valley, a natural stream valley in the U.S. National Arboretum.
The D.C. Herbarium is completely inventoried and recorded in the computerized catalog system using KE EMu. The Herbarium is available for use by appointment to any qualified person.

Check out these photos! On the left is me, at 3, with my pop, outside my childhood home in Miami, where my family still lives. My dad died when I was 16, so the bittersweetness of this image is something I cherish. On the right, it's Javier, my first-grader, and me outside our home earlier this year just before we built a porch on our house. The resemblance between the two images is pure coincidence, but it speaks volumes about history's penchant for repeating itself, don't ya think?
I found this photo while flipping through old albums at my mom's house recently. The pages were covered in plastic, and just about every photo was turning yellow with age. As it turns out, my brother and I have no pics of everyday life while growing up, only holidays and special occasions. Photos of us dressed as a bunny and a Star Wars stormtrooper roll into us noshing at the kids' table on Thanksgiving, then opening Christmas gifts, with a backyard birthday or roller-rink party thrown in for good measure. What a difference a generation makes! Scroll my phone and you'll find hundreds of everyday moments—my boy with his face covered in ice cream, cuddling the dog, dressed as Spider-Man at the grocery store.
Other than knowing that the next generation is going to need a lot more storage on their devices, all of this reminds me that experience is the ultimate teaching tool, and having endless records can prove quite useful. Whether it's a meltdown your kid had last week that guides you on how to handle a similar situation today, or a childhood photo that floods you with love, knowledge, and power (like this one does me!), there's plenty the past can teach us about parenting.
With that in mind, we launch our new back page, We Were Kids Once, this month. We're mining our personal archives for vintage pics that tell us something about ourselves, our parents, and, inevitably, the way we're raising our kids today. Call it the modern vintage approach to parenting. Hey, it works. If you don't believe me, read senior editor Debbie Skolnik's take on piano lessons on page 88. Who knew the ivory keys would help her body heal after breast cancer treatment—and help her daughters appreciate their guitar lessons?
What do your childhood photos teach you? Tell me about it (and share those pics) at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The West Coast of the U.S. seafood processing industry faces daily challenges. Evolving international markets, continuing demands for quality, diminishing volumes of traditional species, and new products from previously underutilized species offer opportunities. At the same time, the industry is being hit by more regulations, declining water supplies, and costlier wastewater treatment and disposal prices.
All decisions that involve a change in seafood processes, products, technologies, machines and regulations require information. Some of this information must be created through new research; but much has been generated over the years by an active network of government, university and industry centers. It includes articles published in the journals that libraries collect and many in the field read. The information also includes the "gray" literature, those papers and reports that are not published in available journals, may or may not be available on the Web, and may only reside in a colleague's file cabinet.
In 1998, the creators of this bibliography recognized that better access to information on current practices and emerging technologies as a strategy to address these challenges of change. We compiled the published and unpublished information available through 2000, set up a Web-based search procedure for this information, and ensured that once identified, the searcher can get a copy, either electronically or in print. Complete descriptions of the original plan and final report are available.
The bibliographies may be used for non-commercial educational and research purposes. For other uses, please contact Janet Webster, (541) 867-0108.
The original work on this project was jointly funded with grants from California Sea Grant and the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department. Additional funding is provided by Alaska Sea Grant, Oregon Sea Grant and the Oregon State University Libraries. Support continues to come from the seafood industry, and particularly Ocean Beauty, Unisea, Inc., Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, National Fisheries Institute.

Latest X Your Eyes News
Below is our complete X Your Eyes news coverage, including columns and articles pertaining to the band. Some articles listed may be indirectly related, such as side projects of the band members, etc.
Metalheads Raise Money For Ill Baby
Wausau, Wisconsin's Wausau Daily Herald reports: When eight area heavy metal/punk/rock bands from north central Wisconsin performed as part of a fundraiser at Coral Lanes last weekend, they had hoped to raise about $1,000, maybe $1,500.
The bands were playing for 1-year-old Keyshon Ivey and his family. Born with short-gut syndrome, Keyshon has been in and out of hospitals since birth. More recently, he has been in Omaha to treat the syndrome. Doctors have been working at Nebraska Medical Center to prevent the need for a bowel transplant.
Keyshon is the son of Holly Mecikalski and her boyfriend, Randal Ivey. Mecikalski really isn't a fan of heavy metal music, but her brother, Nate Toschner, 30, is a guitarist for the Wausau chunk metal band ALL FEAR ASIDE.
When word got out in the metal community about Toschner's nephew, they banded together to do something about it. That's when the "Save Baby Keyshon" fundraiser took off. The lead organizer of the event was Aric "Sheek" Chil'-Cote. In addition to ALL FEAR ASIDE, the bands REPEATED TRAUMA, PREY ON HOPE, BEYOND THERAPY, X YOUR EYES, LOWER CLASS CITIZENS, SOLANUM PLAGUE and PONEY took the stage.
It all went so much better than Sheek and others had imagined. They raised about $3,100 to help offset medical costs and to help pay living expenses for the family.

DESCRIPTIONA reflective folk track, meant to be relaxing so that whoever is listening gets a chance to reflect. The feel of the track is meant to be slightly uplifting and nostalgic.
The track primarily features acoustic guitar playing multiple parts. The style of playing is reminiscent of music from the American Deep South. The track also evokes that part of the world visually (in terms of the countryside, setting, etc…)
This kind of track is particularly suited for background music.
FINALLYTrack available in both WAV and MP3 format.
Please get in touch if you need any additional music services.
Thanks for listening. I hope you will find a good use for this track in your projects.

A nutritionist from the University of Maryland Medical Center regularly provides a guest post. This week, Debra Schulze weighs in on fall fruits and vegetables.
The chill of fall is in the air along with the bright red, orange and yellow colors of the leaves. Fall offers many fruits and vegetables that are delicious and packed with nutritional benefits. This is the best time of year to experience the red pomegranates, the orange winter squash, the yellow peppers along with many other members of the season's bounty. Let's look at the many ways to achieve your five or more servings a day while enjoying some of these seasonal foods.
•Pumpkin and butternut squash are incredibly rich sources of antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C, E and B-complex and minerals such as calcium, copper, potassium and phosphorus. They are mildly sweet with a great nutty flavor. Both are very versatile and can be served in sweet or savory dishes such and soups, casseroles, pies, breads, muffins and more. They can be served hot or cold, and baked, stuffed, stewed or fried. Don't forget about the pumpkin seeds (Pepitas). They can be roasted for a healthy snack.
•Apples come in various shapes and sizes and while low in calories, they are rich in dietary fiber and abundant in phytonutrients and antioxidants, and a good source of B-complex vitamins. Heat a cored apple in the microwave for a few minutes with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm and delicious dessert.
•Cranberries, typically harvested in the fall months, offer many health benefits. These little berries contain high amounts of phytochemicals and antioxidants such as Vitamins C and A. Their health benefits are highest when fresh, some is lost once processed. They can be used fresh or dried in salads, sorbets, muffins, pie-fillings, breads and ice cream. With the holidays coming up, we typically see them as sauces, jams or jellies.
•Pomegranates are considered by some as a "super fruit" due to their many health benefits. This fruit is a rich source of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, a good source of Vitamin C, vital B-complex groups such as folate, pyridoxine, vitamin K, and minerals like calcium, copper, potassium and manganese. It can be enjoyed fresh or as a juice.
•Pears, available in many varieties, shapes and sizes, are also low in calories with good dietary fiber and a moderate source of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals necessary for optimal health. Don't forget to try Asian Pears for a sweet and crispy treat.
•Beets, known for their rich red color, are a great source of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Raw beets are an excellent source of folate, however it decreases once this tuber is cooked. The top greens are also an excellent source of vitamin C. Beets are great hot or cold and can be roasted or boiled for a variety of serving methods. Once roasted, they have a wonderful, slightly sweet flavor and mix well with a roasted veggie medley.
•Eggplant is a versatile fall favorite that is a good source of fiber, folate, potassium, manganese, vitamins, C, K, and B complex. This vegetable can be used in casseroles, dips or dishes such as Eggplant Parmesan or ratatouille.
• Do not forget leafy green vegetables that are grown through fall. Collard greens, spinach, kale and Swiss chard are rich sources of antioxidants such as Vitamins C, A, K and B-complex. They also contain copper, calcium, potassium, iron, manganese and phosphorus. There are many ways to serve these healthful beauties such as raw in salads or cooked as side dish. Try kale chips instead of potato chips for a low calorie and healthy snack. Lightly spray clean leaves with olive oil and bake in the oven at 275 degrees for about 20 minutes until crispy. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and enjoy.
This is only an example of the many fall fruits and vegetables offered fresh this time of year. Embrace the health benefits and try one of these fabulous bounties of fall.
For more suggestions and information about how to incorporate 5 or more servings per day of these fruits and vegetables, refer to USDA website (www.usda.gov) and search topics on Food and Nutrition for 5 A Day-The Color Way.

Erfworld Mechanics
Erfworld functions according to the mechanics of a turn-based strategy game (though individual units interact in realtime). In the real world, such mechanics are artificially imposed to create a simulation of reality -- in Erfworld, these mechanics are reality, and govern the world in much the same way the laws of physics govern the real world.
The mechanics of Erfworld include:
The Hex Grid
The geography of Erfworld is laid out as a hexagonal-grid wargaming map. Locations are described by non-cartesian X-Y coordinates (possibly designating a line of hexes and a specific hex within that line).
Turn-Based Movement
The sides of a confict alternate turns. In The Battle for Gobwin Knob, the sequence of turns is: Charlie's turn (early morning) Stanley's turn (late morning), followed by Ansom's turn (afternoon), followed by an interval between turns (night).
Units may only move to another hex during their side's turn. Each unit has a specific amount of "move" which determines how far it may travel during one turn. At the end of the side's turn, its units lose any unused move, and may not leave their current hex until their side's next turn.
Unit Statistics
Erfworld units all have statistics that govern their capabilities.
Numerical Stats
Move: A measure of a unit's ability to travel across the hex grid. Units have their move reset to its full value at the beginning of their side's turn; unused move reverts to zero at the end of the turn.
Hits: A measure of the amount of damage the unit can sustain before it is croaked. Units regain all lost hits at the beginning of their side's turn.
Combat: Not explicitly described; apparently a measure of the unit's ability to inflict damage. (It is transcribed as "Attack" in one of Parson's Klog entries.)
Defense: Not explicitly described; apparently a measure of the unit's ability to minimize or avoid damage from an attack.
Special Abilities
Some units have one or more special abilities. Known examples include flight, fire, regeneration, and poison.
A unit with the "Leadership" ability is called a "warlord" or "commander". A unit with magic-using ability is called a "caster" (more commonly, it is referred to by its specialty, such as Croakamancer, Dirtamancer, etc).
Determining Unit Stats
Warlords and casters can see the stats of a unit directly; Lookamancers can determine the stats of units at a distance.
Parson Gotti is a special case. He is a warlord (albeit with a bonus of only 2), but can only see other units' stats by looking at them through a pair of 3-D glasses that came with his first Stupid Meal. Also, nobody (not even himself looking in the mirror using the glasses) can see Parson's stats (the value "2" was inferred from the effect of his warlord bonus on other allied units).
Combat Mechanics
Units may group into stacks with allied units. This provides a combat bonus, which reaches a maximum value when 8 units are combined in a stack.
A warlord provides a bonus to units under its command. Warlords also enable units in their stack to make directed attacks against specific enemy targets, or to refrain from attacking at all.
Casters are able to function as warlords with a zero bonus (however, they may provide other bonuses; for example, a Croakamancer leading uncroaked units provides a bonus to their combat ability). This is generally not done, because casters are too valuable to risk.
Units that come into contact with non-allied units (by entering the same hex) must automatically attack if they are not accompanied by a warlord. As noted above, a stack with a warlord can fight more selectively.
Dance Fighting
Correctly led units can gain (substantial) bonuses by incorporating dance moves and rhythm into their fighting style. Unled troops generally cannot dance fight, but uncroaked units led by a Master Level Croakamancer can. Being appropriately dressed for your style of dancing seems to help. Taste seems not to be an issue.
Relative Time
As noted above, the time of day in Erfworld is related to the sequence of turns. The fact that the sun sets after Ansom declares the end of his side's turn may imply that the turn cycle governs the time of day, rather than vice versa.

Fifteen-year-old Amanda Todd of Vancouver was found dead on Wednesday, one month after she posted a heart wrenching cry for help on YouTube.
The 10th-grade cheerleader told her story in small phrases on flashcards in the colorless video. It all began when a topless photo she shared in an internet chat room resurfaced at school. A peer made the photo his profile picture on Facebook, and sent it to all of her friends and family.
Plus: Grown Man Bullies Girl with Cerebral Palsy
Amanda developed anxiety and depression, which lead her down a path of drugs and alcohol. "I started cutting" reads one of the cards in her video. Months of cyberbullying progressed to physical attacks at school. "A guy then yelled 'just punch her already.' So she did... she threw me to the ground and punched me several times."
Amanda moved to a new town and changed schools, but she couldn't escape the torment. School officials say they connected her with counselors, and Amanda's video confirmed that she was on antidepressants and seeing a counselor regularly, but it wasn't enough.
Plus: TV News Anchor Takes on Internet Bully
Before creating the video, Amanda attempted to commit suicide by drinking bleach. She was rushed to a hospital, and survived. Once her peers learned about her suicide attempt, they began posting pictures of bleach containers online, and tagging her in them. One student wrote on Facebook, "She should try a different bleach. I hope she dies this time and isn't so stupid."
Amanda ended her video with the words "I'm stuck... what's left of me now... nothing stops. I have nobody. I need someone."
It's Bullying Awareness Prevention Month, and Carol Todd, Amanda's mother, wants the video to continue to be shown. She told The Vancouver Sun: "I think the video should be shared and used as an anti-bullying tool. That's what my daughter would have wanted."
Has your child ever been cyberbullied? How did you respond? Leave a comment.

TIJUANA – Two years ago, Club Tijuana played in the Mexican second division. On Wednesday, it defeated the reigning world champion.
This was no fluke either. Xolos have been shattering glass ceilings as a hobby for a while now. A few years ago, post-match press conferences at Estadio Caliente took place in a haphazard tent over a bunch of folding chairs. The press box was a roped-off slab of cement. Members of the organization would tell anyone who would listen that the club was going places. Not even the biggest boasts included it happening so quickly.
Promoted to what is now called Liga MX in 2011, Tijuana decided to skip the whole awkward teen stage and go straight to heavyweight contender. Three months ago, it won its first domestic title.
But it appears conquering Mexico isn't enough for the plucky club, nicknamed after a local breed of hairless dog (the stadium PA plays clips of snarling barks during matches). Since November, it has built a brand new press box and added box seats. Growth continues.
Xolos have won three out of three games in the Copa Libertadores, the best club competition in South America, including an impressive road victory over Millonarios (Colombia) and a 4-0 trouncing of San Jose (Bolivia).
But the most fearsome team in the group arrived this week in the form of the Club World Cup champion. Corinthians has largely kept the same squad that defeated Chelsea in December. Except, of course, adding former AC Milan and Brazil national team forward Alexandre Pato.
"We knew who we were playing," U.S. national team attacker Joe Corona said. "Not a lot of players have an opportunity to play a team like this. We were just convinced that we could win here."
That's the problem: Club Tijuana simply refuses to acknowledge when history, rosters and finances indicate it should lose.
Take Corona for example. Someone with his last name has no business starting as the playmaker for a team sponsored by Tecate. He never really caught on in the U.S. system, so he tried out just over the border. After playing with Tijuana in the second division, he has worked his way onto the U.S. national team radar. Corona doesn't even rank the match against Corinthians as the biggest of his career.
"It's one of the biggest games," Corona said. "Honestly, it wasn't easy at all."
All games in Estadio Caliente are tough. For the opposition at least. Once visiting teams started complaining about what is possibly the worst turf in North America, Xolos hierarchy vowed to keep it. (The team practices on a nearby grass field for away matches.) Corinthians isn't the first team to look awkward trying to corral the ball on that green slate of rubber.
Antonio 'El Turco' Mohamed's disciplined squad waits for errors then flashes out on lightning counters through its two most talented players – Fidel Martinez and Duvier Riascos – deployed wide in a 4-3-3. Riascos, in particular, provided Tijuana's most dangerous chances against Corinthians. The beefy 26-year-old Colombian played in an abysmal Chinese league back when Tijuana earned promotion. He'll be in Europe by this summer.
Mohamed collects these outcasts and forges them into a squad capable of matching the very best in the world. Just how far can he take the team?
"We [aren't] in the next round, so we've got to keep working," Corona said.
Knick-knack paddywhack, give the dog a bone. These Xolos won't ever be satisfied.

762: Analogies
Title text: I just call all of them 'synecdoche'.
This comic revolves around the similarities (and differences) between the concepts of "Analogy", "Simile" and "Metaphor" (as well as "Synecdoche" and "sandwich").
The dictionary defines a "metaphor" as a figure of speech that uses one thing to mean another and makes a comparison between the two. For example, Shakespeare's line, "All the world's a stage," is a metaphor comparing the whole world to a theater stage. Metaphors can be very simple, and they can function as most any part of speech. "The spy shadowed the woman" is a verb metaphor. The spy is not literally her shadow, but he follows her so closely and quietly that he resembles one.
A "simile", also called an open comparison, is a form of metaphor that compares two different things to create a new meaning. But a simile always uses "like" or "as" within the phrase and the comparison is more explicit than a metaphor. For example, Shakespeare's line could be rewritten as a simile to read: "The world is like a stage." Another simile would be: "The spy was close as a shadow." Both metaphor and simile can be used to enhance writing.
An "analogy" is a bit more complicated. At the most basic level, an analogy shows similarity between things that might seem different — much like an extended metaphor or simile. But analogy isn't just a form of speech. It can be a logical argument: if two things are alike in some ways, they are alike in some other ways as well. Analogy is often used to help provide insight by comparing an unknown subject to one that is more familiar. It can also show a relationship between pairs of things. This form of analogy is often used on standardized tests in the form "A is to B as C is to D".
Einstein famously used analogies to explain how radio works: "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." Unfortunately, nobody was any the wiser after hearing this.
"Synecdoche" is the naming the whole of something by referring to a part, or vice versa. E.g. using "the Internet" when meaning "the World Wide Web", which is only a part of it; or using "Band-Aid" when referring to any adhesive bandage. Randall is saying that he doesn't really understand the difference between them, but instead of using one of the names as a placeholder for them all (that is, as a synecdoche), he actually uses the word 'synecdoche'. What a mind he has.
- [Two Cueballs sit in front of the TV, one on the couch, the other on the floor. Megan stands by the TV set.]
- Megan: While I'm up, does anyone want a sandwich?
- Cueball: Is "sandwich" a metaphor?
- Megan: No, I'm bad at metaphors. But I could try a simile.
- Cueball: I guess that's like a metaphor. Sure.
- [As Megan starts to walk away, the men continue to speak.]
- Friend: Well, "a simile is like a metaphor" is a simile.
- Cueball: Is that simile itself a metaphor for something?
- Friend: Maybe it's a metaphor for analogy.
- [The two Cueballs are still sitting in the same place while Megan is out of the panel.]
- Cueball: Similes are metaphors in that they're both analogies.
- Megan: Analogies are like sandwiches in that I'm making one now.

Surprised he said synecdoche instead of metonymy, which to me seems slightly more appropriate. What a terrible mess such devices are. I'm content memorizing 114 chemical symbols and the names and capitals of 196 generally recognized sovereign nations, but not the ~200 items on this list of tropes and schemes. --Quicksilver (talk) 01:50, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
Unfortunately, nobody was any the wiser after hearing this.
The analogy from Einstein would have been well understood as cats whiskers were familiar radio sets in before valves became cheap enough for anyone to afford a modern radio. They were difficult to tune and quickly lost contact. It is a very good analogy.
I used Google News BEFORE it was clickbait (talk) 22:07, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- It seems highly likely that the opening lines of whether sandwich was a metaphor had to do with threesomes - i.e. a "sandwich" of a woman between two men. --18.104.22.168 07:57, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Ahh, meta! SilverMagpie (talk) 22:20, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Neither of the examples of synecdoche is very good. When I use the web I am literally using the internet, since the web is a layer residing on top of the internet. A person who thinks of the web as just an interface to the internet, and the internet as the more important layer, might say they were using the internet without having any synecdochal or metonymic intent. And a band-aid is not part of a bandage, it's an example of a bandage. Wikipedia has lots of better examples.

Crispy Gamer Calls Out Resident Evil 5's Racism
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NEXT
Wow first I gotta say I don't watch 24
Second my first reaction was dude quit overthinking things it is only a game. I know doesn't help anyone. So after reading your post over a few times I do understand your point. The thing I don't understand is the "frustration?" (I am not sure if that is the right word) directed towards the story. These things happened a long time ago. They are a part of our and thier history and there is nothing we can do about it. It seems any other point is history is fair game to be fictionalized so why not this? I will say that there is a possibility that RE5 can handle it in poor taste (not having beat the game myself I can't honestly say either way) but there has to be a line between bad taste and blatant racism.
Were you making reference to the Iraq war by any chance? Just reading through that made me think of it.
Just to make a point they should have a game in Africa have all white people in it...and they chuck spears etc.
Also No one called RE4 for being a whittle racist...uhh spainish people using scythes, and pitchforks, and crossbows........that screams almost as racist, but not really to make fun of them...blame it on the ignorant Japanese.
Also if they want more games set in Africa, they need to get good press for this crap so they can have other games set in there too!
Wow. So many strange comments on why the imagery and settings in Resident Evil 5 are not racist. My favourite is the one about how no one complained about the Spaniards in Resi 4.
Anyway, nilcypher has said what I wanted to post so I won't repeat that. But I will reiterate the point made that people shouldn't feel that just because some people say that a game you like has racist imagery, it doesn't mean that you in turn are racist. Please separate the argument from this.
EDIT: Also, the thing about spears and shields is mucho ridiculous. I am Nigerian and I live in Nigeria and my home village is a properly small village with mud huts still around in loadsa places, and not one of the villagers there have spears or shields. They have hunting rifles and machetes. A lot more practical. Then again, since it IS a fictional African country, this is a moot point. Ah well, the continent is in a game, I can't complain too much.
hey! on point!
I didn't think RE 5 was racist until I read that review. He brings up a lot of points and explains exactly why they are racist, just in case people didn't catch it.
That's what harhol has been trying to say since the begining, RE5 isn't "racist" per se, but it sure ain't free from an indecency issues. The argument has always been how African's are being portrayed, never how RE5 was blatantly racist, just the imagery that it gives off. You can't overthink in imagery and that's why I'd consider it more subliminal than blatant "racism".
I'm not saying RE5 is racist, but I am saying it just an imature way to give off a thrill. This isn't restricted to Re5, swap in RE4, Uncharted, Fat Princess, hell even Mario, GTA series, any game can really be "racist". But it all depends on how prominetely it's displayed. RE4 had you fighting spainiards, but to my knowledge it didn't use that many tropes against spainiards. Uncharted had you fighting pirates, and we all love fighting pirates don't we? Mario is a cute n' cuddly plumber, that's not exactly negative. But they are still "racist" just by a stretch and so is RE5.
Once again, change the setting to Philedelphia, does it change anything to how the Africans (now American :D) are displayed?
Most of this would be valid... if this game was made by americans??
This is made by Capcom an Asian company, so it's not like the Americans are trying to make a point are they??
Besides, it's obvious Capcom are going round the world with different strains of the virus arnt they?
When white American's were turned into zombies throughout the first 3 or so games, was there outcrys of racism? NO.
When spanish (I think, correct me if im wrong) peasants were turned into psychotic spanish gibbering infected and portrayed in an rural european country where a white american is sent to save a white woman captured by these spaniards was there an outcry of racism? NO
but as soon as we hit Africa, theres an explosion of hate and crys of racism. For the love of God, get over it! I for one think its a great idea setting a game in different, diverse environments. Beats dark overcast zombie infested city or rural village + castle in forest.
If an infection turns up in Africa, I kinda expect black infected, same as if it was set in china, id expect infected asians. Theres no need to slate a game down because it's simply portraying an environment correctly and plus the fact the place in Africa is FICTIONAL. So they can tweak reality like with the tribal african infected with spears and stuff.
There was similiar shite when Watchmen came out, it made me rage. Someone was deeply offended because of the way asians were portrayed in the film (not going into it in case i spoil anything) it seems nowadays people are just looking for an excuse to call the racist card or the religious card or whatever.
Just enjoy the game for what it is, I seriously doubt CAPCOM are doing it with the intention of racist undertones.
I'm going to go play it now
I'll start off by saying that I like this game. I love the co-op game play.
I've been playing online a bunch this weekend. My "african" friends online, have no problem with this game. It is an overblown non-issue. I find it funny that all this perceived racism is being perceived by white guys.
Thank you. After reading three pages of this thread, and hearing countless people go on about how the tribal dress is racist because modern day Africans don't dress like that blah blah blah... you're the first person that considers the reason they dress like that might have something to do with the plot of the game, a la las plagas.
They have mind controlling parasites in their brains, me thinks they would act just a tad differently. Oh, whats this? They started wearing 'traditional' African garb? Couldn't have anything to do with the games plot / the mind controlling parasites, that there is racism!
I would be very surprised if I went to Africa and Russians zombies started clawing at me "da, you capitalistic pig, die (apologies to Russians everywhere).
By the way, you surprised that zombies are acting savage and violent? Me either.
Get off your soapbox, Mrs. Whitehouse.
Well, RE 4 was set in Spain, but they were still bow wielding Europeans. Oh, and they carried wooden shields.
I love white and black zombies equally. With lead. In their brains.
No racism here.
In the game, when you arrive at that village you come across a man's diary. He explains how a company infected the village with some kind of virus that killed the majority of women and children. After a few days the men started to get agitated very easily and eventually there was utter chaos, constant screaming and murder. He says the virus made the people regress and "devolve" into the ways of their ancestors.
Seriously, the critic at Crispy Gamer is the epitome of a pretentious, idiotic one, trying to hype his wanna-be site into something through mindless critisim.
"I asked Takeuchi if Chris Redfield, who behaves like a selfish jackass throughout the entire game, is intended to be a satiric comment on American culture."
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RESIDENT EVIL! The game series which had Ramon Salazar, a tricorne wearing midget! It's never been one for having deep meaning or making comments about society. You would have to have your head so far up your ar** you could see your breakfast to think otherwise.
This critic is just a pretentious idiot, trying to get his cr*ppy website more hits by posting a 'controversial' review. He ignores if the game is good and jumps on any PC bandwagon. Hated Killzone 2 for having Nazis (nah really? Clearly he had never read up on Killzone 1), hated FEAR 2 for being scary etc. How is that site even running?
The reviewer compared RE5 to "Birth of a Nation". SERIOUSLY! WTF!
This guy is entitled to an opinion but anyone who reads it should take it with A TRUCKLOAD OF SALT!
Once again I need to point out these Africans are not normal to begin with. They are infected so there is bound to be some sort of physical effect on them. Sunken eyes and dry cracked lips is a plausible effect of the parasite. I don't think that would change whether they were American or not. If the story starts before the infection and they still look like that then I can see the controversy. Although I stand firmly behind the bad taste not racism. I don't expect everyone to love the game. I don't expect everyone to play the game and everyone to not be a bit sickened or offended by it. What I do expect is someone who claims to be a journalist to understand the difference between something not sitting well with him, something he sees as bad taste, to know the difference between that and racism. Especially since as you pointed out and I completely agree with any game can be considered racist or sexist (or both) if you try hard enough. Just like any movie or any episode of any TV show.
i want that hat.
if they think this one is racist for having tribal Africans or the murder of black people, then wouldn't RE4 be racist for the murder of white people of that Europeans live in small villages with castles near by?
From dictionary.com:
Saying you can not have black zombies, or excluding black zombies, or insisting that black zombies be portrayed any different from white zombies would be racist because it would be a policy based on race.
think this thread had met a conclusion and deducted that Resident Evil 5 =/= Racist.
All in favor...
Last time I checked, Capcom had an American branch.
Excuse me while I beat a dead horse even harder.
For the sake of this I'll look at both sides of this ever-growing argument.
Point: It's just a video game about zombies who happen to be black, due to it being in Africa
Point: The black people are not depicted in a stereotypical fashion as far as the "gangbanger" or "Ignorant slob" type
Point: In Resident evil 4 people had no qualms about killing Spaniards.
Point: They put in a black woman to assist you in your adventures
For the record I honestly do not think RE 5 has enough blatant racism to deem it racist. It is apparent if you look at it from the racist standpoint however.
Let me point out a few things before I go
(Book)World War Z: In the beginning of the outbreak the disease was called "African Rabies"
Neither of these forms of fiction have been claimed to be racist.
Forms of fiction I do call racist?
Why such the fury for Re 5?
I'll just lean in with a couple of details. The Spartans were homogeneous. Obsessively so. And xenophobic as hell. It was one of the important things in their society, that they maintained unity and cohesion by segregating themselves from aliens.
And the whole Xerxes thing is pretty false or skewed from our perspective, but in the minds of the Greeks the Persians were effeminate and weak.(1) I300 don't claim to be historical truth, but it's not that far of the mark when it comes to the Hellenic self image.
(1). Herodotus talks about this to some degree, though I'll have to look up the exact references. For a brief introduction to Greek self image and thought about "The Other" I can recommend The Greeks - a portrait of self and others by Paul Cartledge (Oxford 1993;2002) and Greeks and barbarians edited by Thomas Harrison on Edinburgh University Press (2001). Sorry for going completely off topic, but it has been bugging me for a while that people rip on 300 for the wrong reasons. There are plenty of reasons to criticize it, but I don't think racism and fascism are among those. But I'll consider making a full post on that. Would be nice to discuss use of history and historical imagery in modern arts for a bit. *swoops cape around me and rushes off to the Topic Thinking Cave* (Also, if I get the time I'll look up the Herodotus references)
Because if we don't argue for/against it, then video games will never evolve outside being an imature hobby (imature as in not "artistic" or something). Granted, there's nothing wrong with imature games (TF2 comes to mind), but if we ever want games to grow as an art form then we have to face these issues head on. It's no use tossing the discussion aside because "It's in Africa! There's supposed to be Black zombies!" and not trying to at least attempt to see the other side of things.
And let's face it, RE5 handles "racism" (I use quotations since it's really more or less in "bad taste" rather than "racist") is a pretty poor fashion. Compared to some other movies with racism as a subject (though for the life of me I can't find out which ones), RE5 is like the Ugly Duckling compared to most movies and books.
We want games to grow, right? Then it's high time we grow up and deal with this issue head one and not toss it aside as a bunch of liberals/conservatives wanking off to drama.
Shouldn't it be sine pony?
If 300 is an accurate representation of Spartan beliefs, what is gained by uncritically recreating this fascist myth on the big screen?
-- Alex
Never thought there was any racism before I played RE5, just ignorant people. Still see no racism after I have played through the game and guess what? There are still ignorant motherfuckers out there.
Yes, sure, what's so hard to understand about that? We've been though this, just because it wasn't called out doesn't mean it's not "racist", just that it wasn't called out on it. Swap out RE5 with RE4, Uncharted, Fat Princes, etc... it's no different, but that doesn't mean we should toss away the discussion.
For pete's sake, we're not talking about black zombies in Africa! We're talking about how they're portrayed. Read the rest of the thread and you'll see that we've been talking about how they're portrayed in the game, not that it's a white guy shooting black zombies.
I think it's more 50/50. 50% only read the OP and stated "It's Africa, there's african zombies!" while the other 50% have said "It's not "racist" but it is in bad taste." :P Nah, I'm being pretentious, but really most people have just stated the same thing over and over again without even reading the rest of the thread.
I'll say this as many times as I have to, if Video Games are ever to reach the stature of "art" then we have to take on these issues head first. We can't just ignore them and hope they go away, nor can we just make a petty excuse without addressing the real issue at hand. This argument has always been on how these people are portrayed, never that it's Africa with African zombies.
Do those people even know what racism is?
I'm not saying anything is gained by showing it. I'm just saying that the movie/comic is not the way it is because of Miller or anyone else. I tried to make clear that the imagery of Xerses as a weak, androgynous whatever he is, is not fascism (or racism), but rather a small insight into the mind of the Hellenic peoples. We may not like what we see, but that should not stop us from looking. I think it would be a good thing if more people realised how insanely twisted the Greeks were (by our standards). We should be aware that the Greeks hardly are good role models.
And I would hesitate to call Spartan society fascist. That would be something of an anachronism. They may have been huge jerks (I think they were), but that's besides the point. What they did (and I could mention the enslavement of the entire Helot population at this point) was not done because of fascism. The problem is however, that a lot of the Greek history (Spartan included) was taken hostage by the fascists and nazi ideology makers. The same happened with Roman history. I have a hard time looking at Roman imagery without getting a bit disgusted. Not because Rome was fascist, but because their imagery has been taken and raped.
You're welcome.
An interesting question to pose at this point would be;
Alright, understandably if issues such as "racism" in this case, are what's holding back games from getting a good artistic integrity then I entirely agree with you. It's something the needs to be faced head on and stopped before getting too out of order. My point comes from why are a whole bunch of people who can't really bring this to light except in a forum, worrying so much about this?
Now, I might be wrong, perhaps the CEO of Capcom is sitting here and reading all this, or people are going to rally against this at Capcom headquarters and change what's wrong about these issues. I tell you right now, I'd feel downright retarded and probably never mention it again.
In all honesty I don't know the full storyline or game play of RE5 so if that takes away some (or all) of my credibility then so be it, maybe it is nothing but poverty-stricken black Africans getting shot by a (ridiculously) muscled white guy.
It's a major issue right now, it started when the trailer came out and now that it's been officially released it's been brought up again. Though I will say this, in a year perhaps longer, will any of this still be an issue?
Also to this,
I posted both sides of the argument before posting my own opinion and even stated that I could see how this could be considered in bad taste.
But how should they be portrayed then? They are infected after all. Let's ask this question instead: How are the non-infected africans portrayed in the game? They seem pretty normal and competent (like that dude who actually helps you out... Jonas is his name?). The reality is that people will get offended with issues revolving around Africa- Black People- Violence, because of the past and present events in that continent, so there is not much the entertainment industry can do about that. Another note: Europeans did NOT bring slavery upon the black man, slavery was already a very profitable trade around most of Africa by the time the europeans got there (someone in this thread touched that issue, don't know who exactly).
Ah, so you see? It's story related. It happened in RE4, no one complained. Why should they complain now? Because it's black people in this game? That's racist!

Monarchs rally, but fall to Providence in shootoutBy IAN CLARK
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 12. 2013 11:32PM
MANCHESTER - The Manchester Monarchs scored three goals in the third period to force overtime but fell short in a shootout to lose a 5-4 heartbreaker to Providence in front of an announced crowd of 7,817 at Verizon Wireless Arena for "Pink in the Rink" Tuesday night.
The Monarchs fell to 21-22-5, picking up a point for the first time in six games after losing five in a row. Providence improved to 27-17-3. Manchester will host St. John's Friday and Saturday.
In the shootout, Manchester appeared poised to win the game after Jordan Weal, Tyler Toffoli and Colton Yellow Horn put the Monarchs up 3-1 through three rounds. But Craig Cunningham and Carter Camper scored on Martin Jones to tie it and force extra frames.
Brandon Kozun scored to make it 4-3, but Trent Whitfield and Torey Krug scored for Providence while Andy Andreoff and Robbie Czarnik couldn't tally for Manchester and the annual breast cancer awareness night ended with the black and gold trumping the pink.
"It would have been a good win. We got a lot out of our guys in the third period," Monarchs head coach Mark Morris said. "We did all we could from a scoring aspect in the shootout. We just needed a save."
Trailing 4-1 in the third period, Manchester started its comeback bid with a goal at 4:55 on the power play. Weal led the rush into the zone on the left wing, sending a pass to Yellow Horn in the slot, who then fed Kozun for a shot past Niklas Svedberg from the right side.
The Monarchs rode that momentum swing, keeping pressure on and scoring at 5:44 to cut the lead to one goal. Andreoff passed to David Meckler in the slot, but Meckler fanned as he was knocked down. The puck slid across to defenseman Andrew Campbell, who beat Svedberg with a slap shot from the left circle for his first goal of the season.
The Monarchs had a would-be tying goal waved off with 3:57 remaining due to goaltender interference, but knotted the game at 4-4 shortly afterwards anyway. Tanner Pearson ripped a wrist shot over the glove of Svedberg at 16:46 to tie the game and force overtime.
"It's pretty somber," Campbell said of the Monarchs' mood. "When you battle back and play that well in the third and put as much effort into it as we did, to come up short in the shootout is disappointing."
Already on top 1-0, the Bruins extended to a 3-0 lead with goals at 4:06 and 8:14 of the second period. Ryan Spooner made it 2-0, one-timing a backhand pass from Jamie Tardif on the right side. Tardif struck for the third tally, batting his own rebound out of the air past Jones.
The Monarchs tried to climb back into the game, making it 3-1 on rookie Yellow Horn's first AHL goal in his second game. Weal's shot was stopped by Svedberg and Yellow Horn banged the rebound home from the left post at 12:20.
But Providence scored just 27 seconds later to push the lead back to three at 4-1. Jones slid to his left off an initial save but Christian Hanson fed Graham Mink on the left for a one-timer into the open cage.
The Monarchs thought they had scored at the end of the second period during the power play when the red light went on after a shot off the crossbar, but the officials deliberated and ruled it was not a goal.
Providence led 1-0 after one period on a goal from defenseman Matt Bartkowski at 6:18. Weal left a backhand pass for no one in the slot and Bartkowski swooped in, picked up the loose puck and cut to the left circle before snapping a wrist shot high past Jones' glove.
The game opened with some fireworks as Andreoff dropped the gloves with Bruins tough guy Bobby Robins. The fight was an epic battle, lasting for several minutes. It was a draw until late when Robins landed a couple to Andreoff's cheek.

Frikkin Horrible.
Why do kids even like that crap.
more like shit.
grow up mister t(-_-t)
or just don't comment at it
if you don't like it, comment it in an appropriate matter
don't call it SH!T just BECAUSE YOU ARE!! ρ(`O´*)
and I like the clothes
you say you like it but you don't have the outfit.
so you are the shit one here.
you need to grow up and respect peoples opinions , just because they don't agree with you.
grow up , owned.
I just said "if you don't like it, COMMENT IT IN AN APPROPRIATE MATTER!"
if you would have said you didn't like it, I wouldn't mind, that's your opinion
if you say BS on it, well i got to say something
And what do you mean that I don't have the outfit?
我。。。累 了!!
used to like it...
bt nw i think it's a bit exaggerating... >.<
gotta love it
I love gothy Visual Kei (FTW ) best
Dilmah is tea by the way
i honestly wld'nt wear it at the streets......but i kinda like their fashion!
sorry wont be on for a long long time...
a bit exaggerated, i guess.. lol
they should dress normally instead..
Ippaku ikura desu ka~! XD
Gosh! I have never ever heard any, not even one of their songs!!! The way they dress is quite OTT [Over The Top] though. I can't imagine a normal person, shopping at the mall in such outfit. It will be totally outrageous!
It's graduation season!!!^-^
Personally, I love visual kei music... and i also love the fashion... At first when i saw VK they all kinda looked the same... but once you understand it fully, no one looks the same at all. I mean there are tons of different types of "kei" I know of at least eight... and I'm sure there is probably double of that at least. Each one has their own style. Anyway... I love the VK style but I do hate it when bands focus more on the style then the music... Personally, if it were up to me I'd dress visual kei or oshare kei every single day... however I'm finding more and more that people are not open minded to this stuff. They don't know what it is so they are quick to judge. VIsual Kei is not (I repeat NOT) guys dressing up as girls.... A lot of people that I know who have never heard of VK tend to say that it is guys dressing as girls when they see VK for the first time. Once they get this wrong opinion they label VK as bad or wierd and walk away. This is my delema... I really do wish that people would learn more about stuff before they judge it.
Because of society's negative aspect of VIsual Kei (I'm talking about America specifically) it really does hinder me from going full out VK. I love the style and I've worn it a couple of times... but the looks people give me are crazy, it's just kinda annoying. Hence why I just wrote a long response about this... sorry you guys for my blabbering.
live with no regrets
It's perfectly fine. Don't know if I would dress in vk... maybe.
It's pretty cool though, some pull it off well... some don't.
Haven't been on in forever, going to delete and update stuff... tomorrow lol.
i like visual kei...
for the one who dont like visual kei, maybe they didnt know what visual kei is...
visual kei is talk about 'existence', not music only...some of them not really good with instrument or singing. but their style and 'existence' is worth better than their skill
i love visual kei!!!

Records Relating to State Public Welfare Commis... | State Archives Catalog
By 1917, as Governor R. Livingston Beekman described it in his annual message, a commission to investigate the various public welfare programs in the state (the State Public Welfare Commission) found that the missions of the State Board of Charities and Corrections and the Board of Supply and Control overlapped, and seemed at times to be in conflict. To solve this problem the government replaced the two boards with the Penal and Charitable Commission, which was renamed the State Public Welfare Commission in 1923.
This Commission formed the managerial layer of the state's welfare system. The commission's personnel included a Chairman, a secretary, a Director of State Institutions, and a Director of Mother's Aid. These individuals oversaw the work of the state's Penal, Charitable, and Reformatory Institutions, which were comprised of the State Workhouse and House of Corrections; the State Hospital for Mental Diseases; a State Infirmary; a State Prison; the Providence County Jail; and the State Reform School for Boys and Girls (the Sockanosset and Oaklawn schools.)
The commission took over the State Board of Charities and Corrections' buildings and property in Cranston and, therefore, has sometimes been referred to as the State Institutions in Cranston. In addition, the commission took over responsibility for two institutions managed since 1912 by the Board of Control and Supply - the Exeter School and the State Home and School, including their real estate and property. Below the commission, the personnel included superintendents for each of the institutions, except for the Providence County Jail and the State Prison, which a warden oversaw. In addition to allowing for administrative and clerical staff, and religious instructors, the law required the appointment of a resident physician and an "agent of defectives and dependents." This agent's function was to examine individuals to determine which of the state institutions was most appropriate for them. Finally, the founding statute required the engagement of a secretary who was designated to keep accurate records of meetings, and also to record "the name, residence, sex, age, and nativity, occupation, condition, and date of entrance or commitment of every inmate patient, or pupil."
In its first years, the commission set as its mission the promotion of cooperation among the member institutions "to work for the benefit of the individual regardless of the circumstances which led to his position of dependency…"The Commission also set a goal of building new facilities and improving existing ones. State Public Welfare Commission aka Penal and Charitable Commission. First Annual Report, 1917-1918.
Public Law 1917, ch. 1470; Public Law 1922, ch. 2230.
