MLS Snapshot: Toronto FC 1-1 Philadelphia Union (video)
The game in 100 words (or less): Another week goes by, and the world remains clueless with regard to the top three places in MLS's Eastern Conference. Toronto FC entered the weekend with a two-point lead on the New York Red Bulls and New York City FC; then, NYCFC won big on Friday to go a point ahead. With RBNY still to face the Montreal Impact on Saturday, all three sides could finish the weekend on 48 points, a three-way tie atop the East, following TFC's 1-1 draw with the Philadelphia Union at BMO Field. The home side went down a goal in the first half, via Alejandro Bedoya's firt MLS goal — a chipped beauty (WATCH HERE) — before Justin Morrow played the role of unlikely hero, snatching TFC's equalizer in the 70th minute. Saturday's game marked TFC's third without Sebastian Giovinco (quad/adductor injuries). TFC have won five of a possible nine points without the reigning — soon-to-be-back-to-back? — MLS MVP.

Three Four moments that mattered
25′ — Bedoya chips Irwin for 1-0 — It was just about the most difficult route to goal, but Bedoya wasn't fazed one bit. Poor Clint Irwin, he was hardly even off his line. (WATCH HERE)
43′ — Irwin makes the point-blank save on Herbers — Reaction saves from point-blank range don't get much better than this one by Irwin. Keeping his side in it.
70′ — Morrow slots home to bring TFC level — Jonathan Osorio did brilliantly to keep his composure with ample opportunity to take a difficult shot toward goal. Instead, he played Morrow through, and the full back finished the chance like a world-class striker.
90+3′ — Altidore hacked down in the box, no PK given — Ismail Elfath had long ago swallowed his whistle, apparently, because Jozy Altidore was hacked down inside the penalty area by C.J. Sapong, and TFC were absolutely bewildered by the no-call.

Man of the match: Alejandro Bedoya
Goalscorers: Bedoya (25′), Morrow (70′)
VIDEO: Alejandro Bedoya's first MLS goal was a delicious chip
Good things come to those who wait.
Alejandro Bedoya has been very patient in waiting for his first MLS goal after making his summer transfer to the Philadelphia Union. 547 minutes — not too terribly long, honestly — is all it took the U.S. national team midfielder to bag the first stateside club goal, and it proved more than worth the wait on Saturday.
[ FOLLOW: All of PST's MLS coverage ]
Goalkeeper Clint Irwin was precisely 3.5 yards off his line as Bedoya dribbled into space down the right side of the penalty area, 20 yards from goal and closing. At 18 yards out, Bedoya went for goal.
The obvious choice is to put your right foot through the ball, and hit it low and inside the far post. Bedoya had something else — something much more audacious and delightful — on his mind.
Take. A. Bow.
La Liga & Serie A: Real Madrid falter; Barcelona score 5 (again) without Messi
A roundup of Saturday's action in Spain and Italy's top flights…
[ FOLLOW: All of PST's La Liga coverage ]
Las Palmas 2-2 Real Madrid
Real Madrid remain top of La Liga, but their lead was reduce from three points to one on Saturday. Up 2-1 heading into the games final 20 minutes, Zinedine Zidane elected to pull Cristiano Ronaldo off the field in the 72nd minute — much to the Portuguese's displeasure. Zidane then watched as his side conceded an 85th-minute equalizer and ultimately settled for a draw.
Marco Asensio put Los Blancos ahead in the 33rd minute, but Las Palmas answered through Tana in the 38th minute, making it 1-1 at halftime. Karim Benzema scored what looked to be the winner in the 67th minute, but Sergio Araujo pegged the league leaders back once more with five minutes of regular time remaining.
Sporting Gijon 0-5 Barcelona
No Lionel Messi, no problem for Barcelona, who still have those Luis Suarez and Neymar guys. Without the world's undisputed best player on Saturday, the dynamic duo combined to score three goals — two more than Barca would need on the day — as the Blaugrana scored five or more goals for the third time in six league games this season.
Rafinha and Arda Turan — decent enough players in their own right — bagged the other goals, and just like that, Barca capitalized on the points dropped by Madrid.

Espanyol vs. Celta Vigo — 2:45 p.m. ET
Palermo 0-1 Juventus
Juve won for the fifth time in six games this season, but needed an own goal from Palermo's Edoardo Goldaniga to do so. The game was scoreless at halftime, before the 22-year-old center back shanked his clearance of Dani Alves's cross past Josip Posavec and into his own net for the game's only goal in the 49th minute. That's 15 points from six games for Juve, who remain top of Serie A by a point.
Napoli 2-0 Chievo
Marek Hamsik and Manolo Gabbiadini scored goals 15 minutes apart in the first half to propel Napoli to their fourth win of the season — to go with a pair of draws — and retain their place as the last remaining unbeaten side in the league. Napoli sit a point back of Juve for the league lead, and four points clear of everyone else alraedy. It'll be a two-horse race for the title, then.

PL Sunday preview: West Ham, desperate to end skid, host Southampton
The 2016-17 Premier League season wasn't supposed to be like for West Ham United. After moving into their new home, the repurposed Olympic Stadium in London, this year was meant to be about building on top of last season's seventh-place finish, which saw them in the top-four race until the final days of the campaign.
[ MORE: All of PST's PL coverage ]
Fast forward four months, and Slaven Bilic's men have just one win from five games this season and find themselves 18th in the league table heading into Sunday's clash with Southampton (Watch live, 11 a.m. ET, on NBCSN and online via NBCSports.com). Home form (one win, one loss) has only been slightly better for the Hammers' form away from home, where they're 0-for-3 thus far. Michail Antonio has five goals this season, joint-top in the PL, all of which have been scored via headers.
Early-season fortunes have been only marginally better for Saints, having won five points from their first five games of the season. Manager Claude Puel got his first PL victory last weekend, though, over Swansea City, as his side notched its first clean sheet of the season.
[ MORE: Saturday roundup — Arsenal thrash Chelsea; City, Liverpool win big ]
Following another summer of key departures in the transfer market (Sadio Mane, Victor Wanyama and Graziano Pelle), one can't help but wonder how many more times the south coast can reload at the top of its squad without a noticeable falling-off, even if for just one season. Through five games, Saints have scored just four goals, including one own goal — Charlie Austin, Nathan Redmond and Jay Rodriguez the scorers. European qualification looks a long way off from 15th place, where they currently stand, and even farther off from Saints' early-season performances.
INJURIES: West Ham — OUT: Andre Ayew (thigh), Andy Carroll (knee), Diafra Sakho (back), Aaron Cresswell (knee) | Southampton — OUT: Sofiane Boufal (knee)

We first encountered Resident Evil 6 during the E3 2012, when we were a little disappointed with the folks at Capcom. In fact, if I recall, our initial sentiment was thus:
Just what the fuck do you think you're doing, Capcom?
As most of you probably know, I am huge fan of the Resident Evil series, particularly Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. Capcom has impressed us with the fifth installment (even the PC port kicked ass) and for that reason we were truly excited for the next chapter.
Well, we are currently playing the full version of the game and the first few hours of gameplay felt like something was missing. Familiar characters were there, a relatively familiar setting too. Blood-starved zombies lunging forth to meet Leon, Chris and Jack. Okay, it didn't take me too long to discover what was missing. Started to play the game as Leon, and was aggravated almost immediately. The fact that Leon can strafe while shooting wasn't a bother. Remaining stationary while shooting at zombies had its charm in the long-running survival horror series and not they've changed it. But, as I said, that wasn't the problem. What made me curse with anger was the fact that Leon's movement was severely restricted and those rare moments of suspense were killed off by pointless segments of action and boring cut-scenes.
There's no slow build up, no mystery, no survival elements, the introduction to the story is baffling and is often interrupted by maddening and downright stupid QTE's.
Fair enough, I'm a mere two, maybe three hours, into it, but I can safely say, my dear readers, I'm not impressed yet. If the beginning of the game is indicative of what lies in store for those who venture deeper into the horror action game, then I'm afraid this has a slim chance of being a worthy successor to one of Capcom's best and most popular titles.

Thereâs already an abundance of restaurant roundups for Thanksgiving from other media outlets (or, as our officeâs only Australian likes to call it, âThanks-for-nothing.â) However, most of these places are completely booked. So, for those of you non-traditionalists, non-cookers and non-thanksgivers looking to find delicious and comforting alternatives for your Thursday meal, here are five restaurants open and ready to serve you.
Chennai Masala: Although itâs tucked in a Hillsboro strip-mall, this place serves up some of the tastiest Indian cuisine in the Portland metropolitan region. Trade in the turkey for some Chettinad chicken, a warm slow-cooked portion of spicy, creamy, coconutty goodness. Soak it up with the vada, soft lentil fried doughnuts packed with cardamom. 2088 NW Stucki Ave., Hillsboro, 531-9500.
New Seoul Garden: Eat some Korean barbeque and give thanks to the tabletop grilling at New Seoul Garden. Try the pork belly, beef sirloin, or bulgogi, thin slices of marinated rib eye. 10325 SW Canyon Road, Beaverton, 352-3737.
Pho An: Thanksgiving usually means itâs cold, rainy and dreary outside. What better way to warm up than with a giant bowl of hot Vietnamese noodle soup? Pho An offers some of the cityâs best pho with over 20 varieties for meat-lovers and vegetarians alike. 6236 NE Sandy Blvd., 281-2990.
Tanuki: Spicy, salty, drinking food! Opening in its new Montavilla location, the izakaya-type joint serves up Japanese and Korean dishes to accompany its plethora of drinks, including sake, beer and the fruits of a full bar. 8029 SE Stark St., 97215.
UPDATE: Tanuki owner Janice Martin tells us the restaurant is completely booked for Thanksgiving day.
UPDATE: Tanuki owner Janice Martin tells us the restaurant is completely booked for Thanksgiving day.
Five Spice: A deep Southeast gem that cooks up many Chinese dishes to be thankful for, including an assortment of soups, clay pots, noodles, roasted meats and a whole fried flounder. The food is surely to break the hunger without breaking the wallet. 2446 SE 87th Ave., 772-1808.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) plays a key role in the authorisation of thousands of products ending up in the food chain (GMOs, pesticides, food additives, nanotech products). In this section, CEO lists numerous recommendations for radical change at EFSA, both regarding the science used, and the independence of the experts, management board and staff. The below video is an educational tool explaining in 3 minutes what the major problems at EFSA are. (Also available in French or with Spanish subtitles here).
A decisive year for food safety in the EU? Campaign update
February 28th 2013EFSA
Not long after November's demonstration, EFSA took the initiative to organise a meeting in Brussels with the signatory organisations and the European Commission, in order to discuss the demands. This presented an interesting development in our dialogue with the EU institutions, which to date had seen then generally dismissing the very idea that there could be a problem in the EU food safety system. The meeting took place on 30 January.However, while an unexpected dialogue may have been opened, problems with our food system and the way EFSA regulates it have far from disappeared:

Signed by several European civil society networks and organisations, this list of demands for the reform of EFSA was published on Monday 12 November during a conference of farmers, scientists and citizens held in the premises of Parma's University, Italy, and delivered to EFSA during a demonstration in front of its headquarters the following day.

As the European Food Safety Authority celebrates its 10th anniversary, a new report from Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) and Earth Open Source questions the independence of its advice. Conflicts on the menu: a decade of industry influence at the European Food Safety Authority highlights the agency's reliance on industry data and industry-linked experts and calls for a complete overhaul of EFSA's operations.

Aquaterm is a great as a front end for displaying
bitmaps from perl scripts. However, it is a little less
ideal in its native configuration for displaying a
series of bitmaps as a movie. If you keep adding
bitmaps aquaterm consumes more and more memory. If you
call aqtClearPlot() in between adding bitmaps to free
up the memory it also forces a redraw of the plot,
causing the window to display the background color.
This isn't bad, but it does create an annoying flicker.
I've dealt with this by adding a variant of the method
aqtClearPlot() which has the line "[thePlot draw]"
commented out (in AQTClientManager.m). It would be nice
if something like this was incorporated into future
versions of aquaterm, or even better, if there was some
way to modify a previously created bitmap. This way you
wouldn't lose all the other plot items when you wanted
to update the bitmap.
Logged In: YES
I'd say that this almost counts as a bug..., I do however have a
suggestion (of the top of my head, not tested):
* try using aqtEraseRect() to clear the previous image, it's safe to specify
a somewhat larger region since it only clears object _completely
contained_ in the rect
Now, the previous image _should_ really have been removed, so this could
be a bug.
Could you please provide a script that exposes this problem? It would save
me time in tracking it down.
Logged In: YES
The (hopefully) attached c program demonstrates the problem.
This program will quickly slow down as more and more bitmaps
are added to the image. Using top, it appears that this is
because the amount of memory consumed by aquaterm grows with
each added bitmap. I did find that if I commented out the
aqtRenderPlot() line then this problem went away, but then
of course one can't see the new bitmap.
a c program that exposes the problem
Logged In: YES
I tested it and adding aqtEraseRect() before adding another
bitmap does resolve the problem. I.e., changing the program
example.c to :
aqtAddImageWithBitmap((const void *) image, 400, 400, 0, 0,
400, 400);
Thank you for pointing this one out.

I got the example code, thanks, and I'll fix this for the next release.

IT suppliers back coalition government's IT strategy

Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.

Based on discussions with 19 key IT suppliers in the UK, TechMarketView's report found 82% of respondents agreed with the coalition's IT plans, while 100% of respondents backed the reform of government IT procurement, outsourcing back-office functions and reduced consultancy spend.
TechMarketView's research director and author of the report, Georgina O'Toole, said, "If implemented appropriately, respondents strongly indicated that cost savings could be made in future while protecting front-line public services.
"With recent news of the £1m cap on IT project spend, ICT suppliers are increasingly trying to demonstrate that their services are not just 'another cost to be cut' but that ICT should play a central role in supporting government-wide reform."
Although suppliers generally support the plans, some areas of the strategy are causing concern, particularly wide-scale outsourcing, the reduction in use of consultants and the involvement of more small businesses.
"The government must go further to clarify its position before the key ICT suppliers will fully rubber stamp these proposals, especially on topics such as contract size limit, open source software and the creation of a government 'skunkworks'," O'Toole said.

Reviewed: 12 April 2006 by Lovehoney - Richard, a Straight Going Steady Male
I thought my gf could cope with some pretty big ones, but this had both of our eyes watering -- before it was even out of the packet.
When it says "extra thick" that's really what it means. This is a well-hung, massively chunky beast of a cock.
Lube up and you can have lots of fun trying to accomodate its girth, but the downside of that massive size is that the vibrations sometimes can't penetrate through its skin.
But even so, it's a fun product -- great for a giggle and great for those who love a challenge!
- Pros
- Size is everything
- Cons
- You can have too much of good thing
- Bottom line
- A fantastic monster cock!

Filed under: Main
This morning Facebook reminded me that fourteen years ago today, I reached my so-called "Lifetime" goal weight. I often refer to this as my goal-iversary.
My first reaction was a little wistful and sad. Thinking back on that tumultuous period leaves me with mixed emotions. There was a lot going on in my life both good and bad (I had just met my soon-to-be spouse, and I was just about to be laid off from what had been an 18-year long successful career).
Also, one thing I don't discuss very often is that when I joined WeightWatchers, I was very driven to succeed. So much so, that I dedicated nearly all of my energies to "dieting" and never straying from the path. I had very rapid and dramatic results. On average, I lost nearly 2 and a half pounds per week for 22 weeks straight. I never once –NOT ONCE—exceeded my daily food "budget". I exercised very regularly, and stopped eating each day when my "points" ran out.
The problem was that being so strict really impacted my life – my budding relationship with my spouse, my daily activities, work, travel, family, etc. I wouldn't let anything get in the way of "losing weight." I was consumed by the process, even though it left me constantly feeling exhausted, cranky, and irritable.
My initial weight loss journey was obsessive, challenging, and incredibly tiring.
Nevertheless, while I was out running this morning, I decided to be understanding and forgiving of myself. I decided to look back with compassion and understanding on who I was at the time and what I was going through. Rather than judging myself harshly or thinking of that journey as a mistake, I attempted to connect with the circumstances, thoughts, emotions, and experiences of myself in 2002 and be grateful.
For one, I have an amazing body that sustained me all that time. For another, the journey got me tied in to WeightWatchers, which has profoundly influenced my life.
I was able to maintain my initial loss for quite some time – perhaps a year or so, before my first big roadblock (my Dad's death). But in the fourteen years since reaching goal, I've neither had an easy time maintaining my weight nor have I ever gained back all the weight I lost. It's been a roller coaster, but more like the kiddie-ride ones at the travelling fair than the mega-coasters at the huge amusement parks!
I'm struck with gratitude for the Jonathan of 2002 and all of his driven, maniacal, fanaticism! By getting off those 55 pounds back then, I reached a starting point for the "new me." Given the circumstances of my life at that point, maybe compulsive adherence to a weight loss program was the only real option I had.
I know now that flexibility, patience, self-reflection, and compassion are much healthier ways for me to manage my weight, and I work on those things all the time. For example, last year when I returned to my goal weight, I averaged about a one-pound loss per week for the same 22 week length of time. And during that journey I sometimes overate, and some weeks I lost nothing. I focused on non-scale victories, and I made sure that I was enjoying myself and deliberately being kind and supportive of myself.
So hopefully in 2030 I'll be just as grateful for the Jonathan of 2016.

Fight through a single-player campaign game with unique content and objectives for your leader. Play local and network skirmish games with up to 12 players. Join a team with allies that can come to your aid. Create new skirmish games using a map editor with a rich set of features
With your support, Pursuit of Power® 2 will be released around the end of 2013 for the Windows PC.
Choose a leader class to command your forces. Your leader can be a Shadow Stalker, Shadow Mage, or Shadow Knight. Your leader is the most important unit in the game. It can summon troops, fortresses, towers, and cast the most powerful abilities.
Find crystal formations and build fortresses over them to yield power. Once your fortress is built, begin managing it at a high-level. Decide the distribution of your population between garrison and zealots. Choose the upgrade path for the internal structures and see your fortress change visually.
Your garrison is responsible for upgrading your fortress, defending it, and repairing the damage from attacks. They will automatically switch from upgrading to defending when your fortress is under attack.
Use your leader to pick-up a banner from one of your fortresses and place it at another fortress. Your zealots will begin streaming out of the starting fortress as they head towards the banner. If they are able to reach the destination fortress, prestige is gained for the starting fortress. Prestige is an essential secondary resource that is required for the most powerful actions. At any given time during the game, there could be hundreds of zealots heading towards different banners.
Use prestige to summon a powerful guardian that binds to the portal of your fortress and defends it to the death. Call an apocalypse upon an enemy fortress to command the guardian to march towards the fortress and pummel it to oblivion.
Upgrade the zealots in your fortress to attack enemies, take more damage, and perform special abilities. For example, the zealots of your Shadow Stalker could gain an ability where they swarm and destroy an attacker before marching towards the banner again.
Defend your zealots and fortresses by summoning towers at strategic locations. Upgrade these towers to unleash devastating attacks on your enemies. Watch the towers change visually as they are upgraded with these new capabilities.
Summon troops to attack fortresses and disrupt zealots. Use prestige to summon your most powerful units, which are unique for each leader class. For instance, your Shadow Knight could summon a Hellhound or a Bone Dragon to vanquish its enemies.
Your leader can use a power ability to tap the rage from enemies, where the amount harnessed depends on the number of targets hit by it. Use the rage you gain to unleash the most powerful leader abilities upon your enemies.
I started playing video games back in the Atari days… Moon Patrol, Joust, Breakout, Centipede, and many other great games. I always knew that I wanted to make video games and taught myself how to program in QBasic when I was eleven. I eventually got my degree in Computer Science from Lehigh, but I decided to work on more serious software after graduating.
However, there's only so much device driver development someone can do before realizing that a change is needed. So, in 2003 I took a deep breath and quit my job to work on my own video games. I started a company and then built my own game engine in C++ because I wanted to learn everything there was about making games. I spent the next 4+ years, as well as all of my savings, working on two games that I completed. It was an amazing experience and I learned an enormous amount, such as… it is hard to earn a living making indie games.
Luckily, I learned enough to become a lead software engineer and I got to work on some really cool stuff over the next 4 years. Plus, it paid the bills. Fast-forward those 4 years and I am back again, trying to make my third game. I decided to make a sequel to my first RTS game and so I built a prototype on top of my existing game engines. At this point, I have almost a year invested into the prototype, mostly during my spare time.
A few months ago, I left my job to work on my video games full-time. But at 35, I can no longer afford to self-fund my video games for more than a few months. Like many of you, I have a mortgage and other bills to pay. But, this time Kickstarter is an option, and I thought I would give it a shot. So, here I am!
All screenshots and video for the prototype contain placeholders for the artwork. I have completed a lot of the core code for the game. My next step will be to work on the code related to the view perspective (most likely isometric), scenery (such as dynamic trees), animations (more frames for movement and attacks), and all other requirements for the artwork. That way I don't hold-up the art process.
I recently added a basic version of the zealots to the prototype since that is a new concept, which was not in the original version of the game. You can see the zealots in the new prototype video below.
Here are some of the main features that are planned for the game.
Most of the funding will be used on software development for the game. The current version is a very functional prototype, but it takes a lot of work to make a quality product. In addition, the funding will cover part of the cost for the game assets.
As part of the Kicking It Forward initiative, I will donate 5% of the profits from Pursuit of Power® 2 back to Kickstarter projects if successfully funded.
I have priced my game at a discount for backers on Kickstarter. When I release the game, it will cost around $20. I also tried to give an extra discount for the next tier, so you can play with a friend without paying as much for the second game. The digital downloads will be DRM-free, too.
I really tried to give value for each tier. That's why I include additional copies of the game as well as some type of new reward. Those extra copies will be useful for the multiplayer network games, which can have up to 12 players. Each digital copy can be assigned to a unique email account upon release. This will make it easy for your friends and family to play with you.
All backers will be included in a credits text file that is located in the installation folder of the game (with your permission). I want to make sure that I acknowledge the generous support of everyone on Kickstarter that helped make it happen. In addition, the higher tiers will show those backers within the credits of the game and manual on the web site.
All backers will have access to the game before it is officially released to the public. There will be three phases to the Beta testing process. The higher tier will get the game during Beta 1, which is estimated to be ready by June 2013. All backers will get the game during Beta 2, which is estimated to be ready by August 2013. The Beta 3 milestone will take place around October 2013, with release candidates starting during November 2013. The initial release will be available some time during December 2013.
So, all Kickstarter backers should have the game within a year from successful funding. This will allow for feedback that can be incorporated into the game before it is officially released. There will also be many opportunities to participate in multiplayer games during the Beta process.
I have a few ideas for some of the possible stretch goals.
$100,000: I would be able to add more specialized units, structures, upgrades, and abilities. This amount would cover the effort for coding, artwork, sound effects, and testing.
$125,000: I would be able to add unique campaign content for all 3 leader classes. Each leader would have unique plots, objectives, and board designs. In addition, I would be able to add more depth to the overall campaign game. This amount would cover the effort for coding, content creation, and testing.
$150,000: I would be able to add a new type of skirmish game that I think would be a lot of fun. This new skirmish game would involve a team base in each corner, dynamically generated content for part of the board, and a persistent scoring system with player rankings for that game. Players would be able to join the game at any time as long as there were available slots. This amount would cover the effort for coding and testing.
Mike Vitt: I design and code the games. I also manage my business as well as the contract work for the game assets. I have worked with some talented artists and musicians in the past. I hope to work with them again if I am able to get the funding for this game.
Drew Benton: I have worked with Drew on both of my first two games. She is a very talented artist. Right now, she is working on some of the concept art to help give an idea of the potential style for this game. You can view some of Drew's other artwork on her gallery.
The team will grow to around 4-5 members, depending on the amount of funding I am able to achieve.
I want to make an RTS that gets away from micromanagement and isn't about who can use the interface the best or click the fastest. That's why I focused on a leader unit for my RTS back in 2003 and decided to expand upon the concept for the sequel. I also like to make resource management meaningful and ensure that it does not become tedious. I kept that design for the sequel too.
In addition, I wanted to add a secondary resource that could fill the role of a trade route. I happened to be thinking of Populous one day and remembered a unit that was carrying a banner. I thought it would be cool to have hundreds of them streaming out of fortresses. They could generate prestige and provide a target to attack as well as to defend. I can see a lot of different fun situations for these zealots.
Furthermore, I wanted something more interesting than just a portal, so I decided to turn it into a fortress. I always loved playing Heroes of Might and Magic and I envisioned the fortress being a bit like a real-time version that you can manage. In my game, you will choose an upgrade path and the fortress will change visually as you make those upgrades. For instance, you could improve the defenses, which might add a keep to protect the portal or you could change the walls from wood to stone.
The leader classes are all based on my plan for the new character classes of my future RPG sequel. Therefore, I also wanted to use some of the rage-tapping concepts for combat. I think that could add another interesting element to the game. You use an ability that costs power to draw rage from enemies, and then use that rage for your most powerful spells.
I have many more ideas, but I think that gives some insight into my thought process. I also want to mention that I hope to eventually have the option for people to log into a lobby so network games are easier to setup. Likewise, it would be great to have a way to share the user content within the game instead of having to copy the board files.
Hopefully, something about my game caught your interest and you would like to help fund this project. Making video games is my passion and I would love to make this game for all of you. Thanks for your time!
You can find additional information about Pursuit of Power® 2 at www.PursuitOfPower2.com/
Pursuit of Power® 2 will be released for the Windows PC. However, my previous two games have been run on Wine in Linux. Pursuit of Power® 2 will share the same core libraries as those two games, so it should also run on Wine for Linux users. I plan to eventually add native Linux support, but it might take a while to complete.

Posted on 03/16/2011 11:37:36 AM PDT by TheConservativeCitizen
I still remember seeing Red Dawn for the first time. I remember thinking that the choices that were made were so foreign, yet so plausible, that it gave me serious pause and made me think what would I do in that situation? How would I react? My school mascot wasnt the Wolverines, mind you, but it still sounded every bit as defiant if you yelled it the same way.
Enter Homefront the latest game from THQ, with a story line written by the author of Red Dawn (and Apocalypse Now). More after the jump.
Step into the shoes of a freedom fighter riding a bus, watching a hostile force invade and begin processing the citizens of a once great nation.
It is rare that a video game especially a violent one evokes any sense of emotion other than woo hoo, fragged you. Not so with Homefront. Within the first 2 minutes of the opening scene, I wanted to politely remove every last one of the invading force with extreme prejudice. Seriously. I wont go into specific details here (you dont want spoilers, trust me) but suffice it to say its one step below real life in Israel at the moment.
I am only 3 levels into the single player, but already I can tell that this game is worth the effort. Fighting with resistance fighters in the Tiger Direct parking lot, moving through a burning warehouse that looks like your local Best Buy, taking out enemies holed up in a local Hooters, sniping from your next door neighbor kids tree house these guys have really captured the feel of bringing the war home and its not pretty.
Where it falls short as a video game (at least in single player), it more than makes up for it in its story line, in its ability to grab the participants gut and wrench it six ways from Tuesday not necessarily by graphic violence, but by graphic plausibility.
I just hope that this game isnt secretly a training ground for the future.
(pics at link)
" The year is 2027, and the world as we know it is unraveling after
fifteen nineteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources. A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. To make matters worse, crippled by a devastating EMP strike, the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic. Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. This is a police state where high school stadiums have become detention centers, and shopping malls shelter armored attack vehicles. A once-free people are now prisoners... or collaborators... or revolutionaries. "
The new Red Dawn movie will now feature ordinary kids banding together to fight off aggressors from North Korea (not China). Re-filming a lot of the movie in an effort to not offend China.
I feel safe in believing that it is not secretly a training ground for the future.
I'm frankly surprised that they didn't make the villains Neo-Nazi, Tea Party Radicals!
Should it be defending the USA from the Democrats/OBAMA ZOMBIES not the North Koreans?
Koreans don't buy from us. We give them everything in exchange for nothing. Then again, China doesn't buy from us either.
Sometimes, when I am near a chain link fence, I grab it and yell "AVENNNNNGE MEEEE!".
Older folks get it. Slack-jawed youth do not. Sigh.
No, but they lend us money. So long as the lunatics in DC keep spending us deeper into debt, we can't afford to upset China.
Thanks for the chuckle, sir.
Thanks for the chuckle, sir.

OK, so we realize this is a liquor blog, and for the most part we tend to stay on topic. However, the holiday season is a season of giving, if you're into that kind of thing, and we wanted to ask you to help out some of our closest friends, simply by casting a vote. Let us repeat - you don't have to pull out the wallet, you don't have to donate a can of food, you don't have to shovel your old neighbor's walkway. In order to reap the karmic benefits, you just have to log into Facebook and vote.
For what, you ask? Our friend and drinking buddy Megan is the managing director of the Sideshow Theater Company in Chicago, and they are working to get a grant from Chase Community Giving through Facebook. The grant, for $25,000, will cover a good chunk of their operating budget for next year.
To help, all you have to do is:
1. Log into your Facebook account
2. Log into the Chase Community Giving Grant
3. Become a Fan of Chase
4. Vote for Sideshow!
After you've voted for Sideshow you'll still have 19 votes left to give to any charitable or other nonprofit organization you like. Think about it - a quick and easy way to ding up some positivity in your otherwise Scrooge-like existence, and make a difference for some starving artists. It's a win/win/win. Hell, while you're at it, why not fan up the Liquor Snob Facebook page too?
And with that, we return you to our regularly scheduled drinking.

How to Clean Soot From Fireplace Brick & Stone
How to Clean Soot From Fireplace Brick & Stone. Cozying up to a fire on a cold night is relaxing, but if you notice your fireplace surround plagued with soot, you begin to question whether burning a fire is such a good idea. Soot on your stone or brick fireplace takes away from the charm and beauty of the fixture. Fortunately, you can remove soot from brick or stone fireplaces with cleaning products you probably already have in your home.
Things Needed
- Spray bottle
- ¼ cup all-purpose cleaner
- 2 buckets
- Scrub brush
- Sponge
- Mild dish soap
Step 1
Fill an empty spray bottle with water. Mix a solution of ¼ cup all-purpose cleaner and 1 gallon of water into a bucket. Fill another bucket with 1 gallon of plain water.
Step 2
Spray the soot spots with the water. Applying water first will help prevent the cleaning mixture from seeping into the surface too quickly.
Step 3
Dip a scrub brush into the cleaning solution and scrub the soot from the surface. Rinse out the scrub brush in the cleaning solution often.
Step 4
Rinse the area with a clean sponge and plain water. Rinse out the sponge in the bucket of plain water frequently to avoid reapplying soot to the fireplace.
Step 1
Fill an empty spray bottle with water. Mix 1 gallon of water with a few squirts of mild dish soap into a bucket.
Step 2
Scrub the stone surface with a scrub brush and the soapy water to remove the soot. Rinse out the scrub brush in the soapy water often.
Step 3
Rinse the stone with a clean sponge and plain water. Rinse the sponge often in the bucket of water to avoid reapplying soot to the stone.
- Lay plastic sheeting on the floor surrounding the fireplace to protect it during cleaning.
- If your fireplace is made of brick that is more than 50 years old, avoid scrubbing it as the brick may crumble, warns Good Housekeeping. Instead, vacuum the brick with a soft brush vacuum cleaner attachment.

"I really needed this."
As someone who was particularly embarrassed to buy this book and say I actually own it, I can say with complete certainty that I NEEDED TO READ/HEAR THIS. After recently having yet another wishy-washy guy come into and then out of my life (extreme interest and then complete ghosting), I had had enough. Screw embarrassment. I already felt embarrassed ... and ashamed that this had happened to me. I needed to realize that this wasn't about me not being good enough, fun enough, pretty enough, interesting enough, or smart enough. This is about the fact that I (and every woman) DESERVE better, and that we shouldn't settle. As Liz says, I too am a pessimist, but I want to believe that I deserve better and will get better as a result of my FAITH (Greg). I'm so thankful for this book, and am also reading "It's Just A F***ing Date." I highly suggest both books. Thank you to the writers for making these books!
"Truth bomb"
I really enjoyed this book. I think we all need to start believing we deserve what's best for ourselves and stop making excuses for the lame men we find ourselves obsessing over. It seems so simple and so easy to know when someone isn't into you but clearly it's not that easy!! it's actually really hard and this book points that out. I loved it!
"An eye opener"
I loved this book so much, it really was an eye opener and I think all women should read this book to really carry with them as they weave in and out of relationships to truly value themselves and stop putting themself diwn for things beyond their control. Ive recommended this book 3X before I even finished it, and am so glad I chose the audio book over the physical copy.
"Thank you!!"
Thank you Greg for explaining to me that, all the obsessing , crying, reasoning and angry amount to he is just not in to you. That guys can be real "dicks" and not every women understands all of the codes for why they cannot commit, love or care enough to be honest. Men can be complicated. I will re omens this book to ALL OF MY girlfriends it's a must read.
"It's ok"
I'm a male listener, just wanted to know female perspective on relationships. Yes I will agree most of the things are true, and I am one of those guys who is the one that is not that into her. I am half way in the audiobook and find that I'm already bored, because I already know all that they are talking about. But it's true, if I am really into someone I will do whatever it takes to be with her. For the girls, best thing they can do is, if they found out that the guy is really not that into them, they should just move on, the situation will never change. And when the guy find someone he is really into, he will do anything to get her. Of course then the woman has the power.
The humor in this book is so awesomely entertaining and I literally listened to it all the way through in one day!! They really drill these concepts in your head so that you are very clear when a guy is just not that into you! Brilliant!
It was very engaging and I loved the sarcasm from Greg. Its amazing how we as women can make so many excuses for a mans behavior. I love the straight talk!
They did an excellent job of relaying the information to be clear and entertaining. I learned a lot and somethings I knew but I was honestly in denial!
When a man does not make it crystal clear that he is 100% into you. HE isn't!!
"it was alright. "
it almost feels like a long therapy session more than anything. women venting their frustrations to a guy that really doesn't have any educational back ground in the matter however seems to know it all.
it's a bit frustrating at times being that Greg is so simplistic, however many times he is right. as a guy myself I see what he is talking about.
I read this some what as a gender reversal, trying to understand dating in general. However their are just certain truths about the male mind Greg brings to light.
If a man likes you he WILL pursue you. it's as simple as that.
Therefore don't try to wait around and fix him, change him, or make him excuses. if he is not ready to take the relationship to the next level he is just not that into you.

This is a book I've listened to several times after break ups (if I listened to it during those relationships they would have probably ended way sooner.) It is my go-to to recalibrate, feel confident in the decision to break up instead of making excuses for past guys and the right amount of rah-rah to believe in myself again. I have written the top ten down from chapter 13 and it has become my absolute dating guide. It has also relieved the stress of wondering if I should be asking guys out. The book is simple, straight-forward and so right on. It has most definitely changed the way I view dating. No hesitation in recommending this book.
"Perfect and funny pick-me-up!"
Yes! If you have been in a bad relationship you can't bring yourself to get out of, or if you just need a boost of confidence, Greg and Liz tell it like it is. It's nothing you don't already know, but the two put it across in a way that's palatable, funny and empowering.
I loved the "true stories" Greg and Liz peppered the book with. They are all situations we are familiar with.
Yes. I absolutely love this book - Greg and Liz's narrations are entertaining and really enjoyable to listen to. I could listen to this book multiple times all the way through.
I think the content of the book in general is so applicable to everyone - whether you are or have been in a bad relationship. The content of the book is nothing you haven't heard before, but the presentation is great and it is just very relatable.

Study projects major loss in habitat
Staff Report
Changes in ocean temperatures and sea ice formation around Antarctica could imperil the region's krill — tiny crustaceans that are at the base of the food chain. Scientists say they've already documented a big drop in krill populations since the 1970s. Losing more krill would reduce the amount of food available for whales, penguins, seals, squid, fish and other marine life.
A new study published online in Geophysical Research Letters says up to 80 percent of suitable krill habitat could disappear by 2100. The research examines the effects of a warmer ocean and a decline in sea ice on these small crustaceans, said Andrea Piñones, a marine scientist at Center for Advance Studies in Arid Zones (Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Zonas Aridas) in Coquimbo, Chile, and lead author of the study.
