I alluded to the difficulty of setting up rules and regulations for an open marriage in my last post. One of the biggest challenges couples in open relationships face is the fact that both partners will meet other people. People that they might like a lot. People that might eventually threaten their primary relationship.
This is exactly what happened to us. And I was the guilty party. I was the one who met someone and started to have inappropriate feelings for him.
Here's what happened:
I met a Swiss man named P online. He was already in a relationship – although he was not married to his girlfriend and they were not living together. P didn't seem particularly unhappy in his relationship, apart from the complaint that his girlfriend didn't seem to like any of the "cultural" activities that he did. She didn't want to go to museums or plays and couldn't talk about art or books. This, P decided, could be remedied by going outside the relationship. I was perfect to share these experiences with him, since I loved many of these things myself, and so we decided to meet at a hotel bar for a drink.
From the very beginning, I was enamored with P. When I first saw him, he was sitting in a corner booth in the hotel bar with a glass of wine. Blond, tall, well-dressed, he seemed poised and calm. I liked him instantly, but he made me nervous. He spoke German, French, and English fluently. He had plans to learn Japanese. He worked for a very famous creative agency and had been a professional volleyball player. In other words, he was slightly intimidating.
I had a glass of wine. Then I had another. After three glasses, we had gotten through the awkwardness of the first meeting, exchanged stories about our motives for having an affair, and made plans to see each other again.
He walked me back to my apartment entrance. As he was about to leave, I decided to kiss him. I was tipsy and I very much wanted to, so I stood on my tip-toes and said, as I leaned in: "Do you want to kiss me?"
It wasn't really a question, though, it was more like a statement. That first kiss sent a shiver down my spine. It was like a spark that awakened long-dormant sexual urgings. I felt 16. His hand slipped down my back and gently cupped my ass and I almost swooned. I think I fell into him.
After he left, I kept thinking about him. We made plans to go to a museum together a few days later. And when I saw him again, standing in front of a piece of art in a light blue sweater, I felt a happiness that I hadn't felt in months. And that should have been my first clue. Right there. That I was happy simply to be in this man's presence. To gaze at him as he read about the painting in front of him.
We had something else in common, something that I've never had in common with anyone else: both our mothers had died when we were the age of 14.
That should have been my second clue. That is a type of bond that is unusual and dangerous. One feels that the other understands him perfectly. That no words are needed. It's like being in a very private club that no one really wants to be in, but offers a certain kind of understanding that isn't available to those who have never experienced an early, and tragic, loss. We liked each other for it. We felt attached and comfortable from the instant we discovered our common experience.
It wasn't planned, in other words. What began between us was spontaneous. We only meant, I think, to have a fun affair. To spend afternoons at a museum or to go out for a drink and talk about life. But that's not what happened next.
What happened next was I made a disastrous decision to see P when my husband was visiting me in NYC, after I told my husband that I wouldn't see anyone else for the month we were cohabiting. It was a difficult month for S and I, and I desperately wanted to see P, to see his face, to hear his accent as he talked about his job, to drink a glass of wine with him. I wanted to see P to escape the difficult conversations I was having with S about our marriage. P was like my safety valve. I needed to blow off some steam.
I told myself that I would only see P for a drink. Just a drink. That one drink wouldn't necessarily be breaking the promise I made to S. And S had gone away for a few nights to visit his father. I was alone in NYC.
So I made plans to see P after all. And when we ended up in his office, having sex on the receptionist's desk, I shouldn't have been surprised by my own capacity for betrayal and deceit. I shouldn't have been shocked by my desire to flout the rules I had agreed to with S. I should have recognized the seed of my growing affection and need for P for what it was: I was falling for him.
And that would be my biggest mistake of all: Not being honest with myself.

Greg Kihn Releases Greg Kihn Band; Best of Beserkley, 1974-1985 – New Disc Features 21 Remastered Hits from the Legendary 80's Rocker
Legendary 80's rocker, Greg Kihn, is proud to announce the release of his new album, Greg Kihn Band: Best of Berserkley, 1974-1985, as both hardcopy CD and digital download.
Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) April 03, 2012
Legendary 80's rocker, Greg Kihn, is proud to announce the release of his new album, Greg Kihn Band: Best of Berserkley, 1974-1985, as both hardcopy CD and digital download. Best of Berserkley, 1974-1985's 21-tracks features 19 Greg Kihn remastered original hits drawn from Greg's eight-of-nine full-length Beserkley Records studio albums, including The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'em Like That), Jeopardy, Happy Man and Reunited, along with two tribute tracks to Bruce Springsteen (long considered one of Greg's biggest musical influences), Rendezvous and For You.
In the late 80's, Beserkley Records sold the original Greg Kihn Band master recordings, along with the rest of the Beserkley Records catalog. After many years of legal wranglings, Greg finally obtained the rights to release his back catalog from this seminal era of his musical career. Existing diehard and new fans who have followed Greg Kihn from the beginning of his career as a folkie/pop-rock troubadour to one of the most recognizable and popular Gold-selling video Rock Stars during MTV's 1980's glory years will want to add this essential compilation to their classic rock music collection.
Beserkley Records is credited as being one of the first successful American Punk Rock Indie Record Labels, established in 1973 in Berkeley, California, releasing albums by Earth Quake, Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, The Rubinoos and the label's biggest breakthrough artist, Greg Kihn. Beginning with his third album, Next of Kihn (1978), Greg continually 'charted' in America thanks to regular FM radio airplay. By 1981 Greg Kihn's "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" from Rockihnroll (1981), broke the Top 40 and his fifth and sixth albums, Kihntinued (1982) and Kihnspiracy (1983), all reached the Top 40 on the LP charts. Greg's 1983 single "Jeopardy" became Beserkley Records' biggest hit, peaking on the Billboard Charts at #2, (#1 on Billboard Dance and International Charts), achieving Gold sales status for Kihnspiracy (over 500,000 units sold), and mainstream recognition. This was due, in large part, to "Jeopardy becoming one of early-MTV's most popular music videos. "Jeopardy" featured Greg and band in a scripted play-acted scenario, with elaborate special effects, that reinvented the music video into a micro story-telling genre, influencing other elaborate and grandiose productions, such as Michael Jackson's Thriller, and countless others.
According to Greg, "It's said 'if you can remember the 60's you weren't there,' and now that I reflect on being a Beserkley Records recording artist almost four decades after I first signed with the label, I realize that when I try to recall those years, much has been lost in the fog of age. I mean, after all, we did refer to the label as 'Rather Ripped Records' after closing time… But, I digress… These songs really represent and bring back all of the best memories of my achievements and peaks of my musical career during the carefree halcyon heydays as a Beserkley Records recording artist… when everything was safe, nothing was dangerous and we were all young and immortal. I can clearly hear, feel and experience that unbridled excitement and exuberance in each track, more so now that I've painstakingly remastered each and every song, and I am sure you, fair listener, will, as well."
Greg Kihn also announces the Greg Kihn Band CD Release/Reunion Party in honor of Greg Kihn Band; Best of Berserkley, 1974-1985, scheduled for Saturday, May 19, 2012, at The Catalyst Club in Santa Cruz, California (http://catalystclub.com), sponsored by KFOX FM 102.1 San Francisco/98.5 San Jose. The Greg Kihn Band CD Release/Reunion Party will feature the Greg Kihn Band live-and-in-concert, appearances by original members of the Greg Kihn Band, KFOX FM Air Personalities and other special musical guests, contests and giveaways of autographed Greg Kihn Band swag and paraphernalia, and more. (Doors 7 p.m. /Show 8 p.m.). In addition, the Annual KFOX FM Kihncert takes place at the Shoreline Amphitheater, in Mountain View, California, on Saturday, July 14, 2012, featuring Greg Kihn along with Pat Benatar and The Steve Miller Band. Additional details are on http://www.gregkihn.com and the "Greg's Blog" page at http://www.kfox.com/GKB-Reunion-Gig-/9573650?pid=229627
Greg Kihn is the San Francisco Bay Area's #1 FM reigning Radio Morning Man, exceeding 16-years on Classic Rock KFOX 102.1 San Francisco/98.5 San Jose – the fourth largest radio market in America. He's also a prolific novelist and his four novels and one book of short stories will be available on iPad and Kindle later in 2012. Greg also has a screenplay in development for a new cable series about how the mafia ran the music industry in New York City during the early 1960′s. Described as a cross between 'The Sopranos-Meets-Almost Famous,' "45 RPM," could be on a major cable network in 2013.

Your Test Time One of the reasons standardized tests are so difficult is the time constraint. An example from the LSAT is finishing 26 complicated Logical Reasoning multiple-choice questions in 35 minutes. The average test taker can not accomplish this task. The same goes for all other standardized tests: test takers can NOT finish on time.
In fact, the time factor is probably the single most important factor in determining whether you score acceptably high and get into the school of your choice, or whether your scores are unacceptable and you have to settle for a less satisfactory school or a different avocation all together. The reason? With ample time, many of the exam questions can be answered correctly. It's the ability to manage this time that is so crucial.

You know when you're playing euchre and one of your opponents leads the hand with the right bower? You know that's to flush out whatever other trump cards people have. The smart play is to throw the lowest trump card. And, sure, sometimes, your lowest trump card is the left bower — the second highest card in the deck. If you have to throw it, you have to throw it.
But if you've played euchre long enough, you know there's always some doofus who will throw that left bower and then sit back in his or her chair, triumphantly. And then you all have to sit there uncomfortably waiting for him or her to remember that hearts is trump this hand, not diamonds, and so that jack of diamonds can't take the jack of hearts.
Sadly, it turns out that Tennessee Congressman Stephen Fincher is our doofus. In the great euchre game of politics, he threw the left bower when the right bower was already on the table and he doesn't seem to realize it.
From NBCNews:
During contentious debate over the Farm Bill, which funds food stamps, in the House Agriculture Committee, Rep. Juan Vargas, D-Calif., invoked the Book of Matthew as he noted his opposition to the cuts."[Jesus] says how you treat the least among us, the least of our brothers, that's how you treat him," Vargas, adding that Jesus specifically mentions the importance of feeding the hungry.
Republican Congressman Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, who supports cuts to the program, had his own Bible verse from the Book of Thessalonians to quote back to Vargas: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat," he said.
Mayor Karl Dean gave his State of Metro address from the brand new Music City Center yesterday, after cutting the ribbon on his signature mayoral accomplishment.
From The City Paper:
"Today we open the doors of this great, new Music City Center to welcome visitors and tourists from all over the world," he said. "Now it is time to open the doors of our city for all. For the bright and the talented; for those like us and not like us; for the lost and the struggling; and for the young who are filled with so much possibility."In a 45-minute speech, Dean reiterated his support for charter schools and "school choice" and delivered a pitch for The Amp, his proposed bus rapid transit project along the West End corridor.
He also announced the establishment of an Affordable Housing Trust Fund, "which will allow Metro government to take a more active role in creating affordable housing, encouraging rehabilitation of existing homes, maintaining affordability and building mixed-use, mixed-income developments.
Read the whole text of the speech here.
You may then also recall (starting at about 2:27) a "race realist" sporting a Towson University T-shirt who gleefully recounted the tale of flashing a gun at "a couple of blacks" who had come to his door. Not surprisingly, Matthew Heimbach, as he is apparently known, would be the leader of something called the "White Student Union," which goes around at night looking for "black predators" around the Towson campus. Somewhat surprisingly, Vice published a story about Heimbach and his little racial purity squad. (And yes, the AmRen Nashville confab makes an appearance.)
Since launching the night patrols, Matthew has become the pasty public face of campus hate. He knows how to court the media, and the segments about him that have aired on CNN, CBS, the Thom Hartmann Program, and pretty much every news blog, all prove it. As such, going to Maryland and hanging out with him and his shadowy "comrades," as we did recently, risks giving him the thing he wants even more than his own Rhodesia: attention. Yet accounts so far have treated the student as a vile curiosity rather than what he really is—the possible future of organized racism in America—and so we figured, what the hell, let's go interview him."I hate Hitler," Matthew told me at his apartment, in an African American neighborhood in Baltimore about 15 miles from Towson's campus. He resents being classified as a "racist" or "white supremacist," he said, and despises the KKK and neo-Nazi organizations. "They're just low-rent thugs trying to make themselves feel better. Frankly, they're an embarrassment."
Ah yes, the Our Racism Is More Pure Than Your Racism school of racism. So erudite! But you already know about that game.
When the TBI laid into Channel 4 on Friday, I noted that Dennis Ferrier's Holly Bobo story came during the May sweeps period, and that other stations seem to have their most promotable work airing during this period.
I didn't realize that was a controversial statement.
Sweeps periods take place four times each year — February, May, July and November. They are hugely important in the television industry, because that's when audience viewership is measured, and that data is used to set TV advertising rates.
In a conversation on Twitter, NewsChannel 5 investigative producer Kevin Wisniewski objected.
@scavendish just sensitive to the implication that May stories are less credible than stories that air in April
— Kevin Wisniewski (@KevWisniewski) May 17, 2013
If you visited The Tennessean's "Faith & Values" page on Monday, you saw stories about Mormon girls, the cast of Duck Dynasty talking about their Christian faith, Jim Wallis' book about faith in God, churches dealing with mental health issues, a couple who write hymns, a Lutheran coming to town, the woes of a group that guessed wrong about when Jesus is going to come back, and a bunch of new Catholic saints, not to mention a column from Ray Waddle about Christians and God, a piece by the pastor at Woodmont Christian Church, and a missive from a guy in Williamson County about how God helped him downsize. Plus you can take a quiz about how well you know the Bible. The only story on the page that wasn't explicitly monotheistic and implicitly Christian was about how you can go help clean up the City Cemetery.
The Tennessean's "Faith & Values" section does a terrible, shameful job of recognizing that there are a lot of Nashvillians who aren't Christian and who still have faiths and values they might want to read about in the paper. I mean, is there not one Jewish or Muslim person in town who had God's help making some major life change? No one at the Nashville Gurudwara has thoughts about God and politics? None of our Buddhists have thoughts about how to help Nashvillians with mental illness? There are no authors at the Sri Ganesha temple who might have books Nashville might want to hear about? No pagans brought anyone interesting to the area recently?
Oh, wait! The pagans did bring interesting people to the area recently. Yes, this past weekend there was a huge pagan shindig out at Montgomery Bell State Park—the annual Pagan Unity Festival. They invited important spiritual figures like Dorothy Morrison and Oberon Zell and interesting authors like Alex Bledsoe and M.R. Sellars.
Why Christians like to watch Duck Dynasty on the TV is not a more important "Faith & Values" story than the big gathering of Middle Tennessee people faith-&-valuing it up in Burns. It's just not. And I say that as someone who loves Duck Dynasty.
I know that every year, Gannett tells The Tennessean they're going to have to do more with less. And it's pretty easy to cover only Christians — after all, we have a lot of big, entrenched Christian institutions that know how to work a press release, and a lot of Christian leaders who are used to jotting off editorials. But The Tennessean is the city's daily paper. It's not just the paper of the Christians.
And, frankly, Christians don't have a monopoly on "Faith & Values." It'd be nice if the daily paper acknowledged that.
On Sunday, Tom Humphrey was talking about how Gov. Haslam is growing testy with the press.
Things haven't been going all that well for Gov. Bill Haslam's administration lately on the media attention front, so maybe it was understandable that he expressed irritation last week when asked about ties to an East Tennessee developer who benefited from recently passed legislation."I want to say something: You all's job is to ask questions, but it's also your job to get the answer right," he lectured reporters in the course of explaining why he is without fault in the situation. "Quite frankly, I think it's a disservice when people imply something's wrong when they know there's nothing wrong."
Humphrey goes on to point out that, of course, Haslam is trying to run the state like a business, "which must protect its secrets to be competitive in the free market. States compete with other states, you know."
So there's the contradiction of Haslam's administration — the media is somehow supposed to know when they have things wrong, but the governor thinks it's important for him to keep secrets. But you can't have it both ways. If you want people to know what's what, you can't keep it secret from them.
Ahh, sweeps season, the time when breathless promos let you know what every TV station's investigative team has been working on for the past month.
Newschannel 5 had Scoopageddon himself, Phil Williams, delving into the state's motor pool (and finding some interesting stuff). Channel 2 has been hanging out at pill mills, looking at a doctor who allegedly prescribes too much. Fox 17? They are DETERMINED to get to the bottom of those surcharges on your utility bill as part of their "Waste Watch" series.
And Channel 4 went to the missing persons well, digging up what appeared to be new revelations in the case of Holly Bobo.
Now chew on this. The rumor mill is turning today about the possibility of Kane — who is a libertarian named Glenn Jacobs in real life — challenging Sen. Lamar! Alexander in the 2014 Senate primary.
Earlier this week, Kane, er, Jacobs challenged Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey to a debate, a news item so exciting we never imagined it could be topped. And yet, it has. #Kane4TN
(H/T to Nooga.com on the video, and to the Tennessean's Chas Sisk for today's best kicker.)
For the 74th consecutive week, The 'Drome is catfight-video-free ...
Opening Face-Off
NCAA vs AAA : Romanticizing sports is the sportswriter's great temptation — and one that has its place — and the temptation to romanticize baseball is stronger than others.
George Will famously wrote of it. John Rawls couldn't get enough of it.
For the first time this spring, I went to the ballpark this week — twice in fact. Out to Greer for a Sounds game Friday night — delayed by an impeccably timed rainstorm, its pace held down by the millstone of fireballing Triple A pitchers who think every delivery has to be a strike. And I lament about Greer while at the same time understanding than any new sports facility is going to be privately funded — a prospect I realize is as likely as my dog learning to play Dvorak's Ninth on the keytar — because Karl's $585 million Enormodome sucked up all of the city's capacity to fund just-for-funsies projects. Greer isn't all that bad if you don't mind grunginess and if you don't have any pretense that a minor-league park should be a faux-antique Disneyland. Greer is functional, in that there are seats and food and plumbing and a diamond.
Wednesday Tuesday (it's been a long week), by coincidence more than design, I spent a few innings out at Hawkins Field for the Vandy-Belmont game. The crowd was a little more excitable, the weather was better and Lord knows the ballpark is nicer (though those of us of a certain vintage remember when Hawkins Field wasn't as nice as Greer is now). Hawkins is a weird little stadium, shoehorned into the corner between Dudley Field and Memorial Gym. Two-thirds of it are perfectly normal and symmetrical, carefully curving from right field to left, when the fence abuts the quirky gym and the wall has to dance and jut. I didn't have the pleasure of seeing someone lace a liner to left, but I'm guessing it would have been akin to seeing someone play real tennis.
There were charms to both, despite the Commodores' obvious advantages: Vandy's team is, ya know, quite good, while the Sounds are not; the standards of the stadiums parallel the particular fortunes of the two nines.
But Greer, for all its faults, feels real. It may even suffer from realness. For a purely functional experience, it cannot be surpassed. For a championship, though, head to West End.
As Mayor Karl Dean prepares to throw open the doors to the Music City Center, some bad news for his proposed bus rapid transit project, The Amp. Over at The City Paper:
Nashville Congressman Jim Cooper does not believe federal funding will be available for The Amp, Dean's proposed bus rapid transit project that would run along the West End corridor. The project has already been a source of contention, with some residents, business owners and Metro Council members taking issue with the proposed route.Members of an emerging group of opponents say Cooper shared his doubts with them during a recent meeting about the issue. Cooper spokeswoman Katie Hill confirmed his views to The City Paper.
"I think his view is that right now with sequestration going on, and until we strike some sort of grand bargain on the deficit, there's just not a whole lot of extra money floating around out there for projects like this," Hill said.
The mayor's office, and their D.C. consultants/lobbyists, remain optimistic that the federal program from which the city will be seeking funds still has room in it for The Amp. But before they get there, they'll have to contend with some more opposition forming along the corridor.

100The wedding sequence... is a virtuoso stretch of filmmaking: Coppola brings his large cast onstage so artfully that we are drawn at once into the Godfather's world.
100The picture is a series of mini-climaxes, all building to the devastating, definitive conclusion... It was carefully and painstakingly crafted. Every major character - and more than a few minor ones - is molded into a distinct, complex individual.
100Overflowing with life, rich with all the grand emotions and vital juices of existence, up to and including blood. And its deaths, like that of Hotspur in "Henry IV, Part I," continue to shock no matter how often we've watched them coming. [16 Mar 1997, Calendar, p.7]
100A great American picture, full of incredible images and lasting moments.
100Just about as great as a movie's ever gonna be... As for the storytellng, The Godfather is an intricately constructed gem that simultaneously kicks ass.
100Brando made Don Vito something we rarely see in movies: a tragicomic villain-hero, a vulnerable hood. The don is so close to a comic character -- the movie itself is so close to comedy -- that Brando's capacity to move us in the role is doubly impressive. At the end, it is the older Godfather's tenderness and sagacity we recall. [21 Mar 1997, Friday, p.A]
100In scene after scene -- the long wedding sequence, John Marley's bloody discovery in his bed, Pacino nervously smoothing down his hair before a restaurant massacre, the godfather's collapse in a garden -- Coppola crafted an enduring, undisputed masterpiece. [21 Mar 1997, Daily Datebook, p.C3]
100The Godfather traces the arc of this doomed idealism with a beauty that is still fresh.
100One of the most brutal and moving chronicles of American life ever designed within the limits of popular entertainment. [16 Mar 1972]
100One warning however: James Caan's shoulder hair, when seen on this size screen, may frighten children considerably (you'll at least want to discuss it openly after the show, answering any questions your kids may have in an honest and direct manner).
A handbook on cinematic lucidity. All events are described clearly. Motives of all the characters are set right there on the table next to the pasta for our consideration.
100The Godfather is a generational saga; it's also an action film; but above all, it catches the imagination of audiences because it suggests that the career of a gangster is not so very different from the career of a businessman or a politician.
100Sharp, entertaining, and convincing--discursive, but with a sense of structure and control that Coppola hasn't achieved since.

Story/Photos Geoffrey Buta, Ghana.
Inspired by participating the World Day to combat Desertification, students of the Kunbungu District Assembly local school have taken upon themselves to advocate for climate change in their respectivecommunities.
The celebration engaged a number of students, traditional rulers and community members at the kunbungu District Assembly in the Northern Region of Ghana.
In an interview with Abiba Alhassan a student who spoke on the impact of the celebration and the role they can educate their local people the effect of climate change on the community.
"From the little experience we the students have witness in this area of our community on the rapid change in land desertification and misuse of land, we need to stand up and advocate before it become a burden on us the future generations" she added.
The theme for the celebration was "Healthy soils sustain your life: Stop land degradation neutral"
The program was in collaboration with Ministry of Environmental, Science and Technology and Environmental Protection Agency and supported by Canadian International Development Agency.
The photograph depicts children with placards which have inscriptions like "conserve the soil for sustainable development, say no to desertification, and say no to poverty and suffering".

Your Domain Here: Popular New gTLDs from ICANN
Top-level domains, those extensions at the end of Web addresses, are about to become part of a much larger, more diverse family. Today their number stands at 22 (not including country codes), but the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has just revealed over a thousand more that will be joining them soon.
ICANN opened up its generic top-level domains (gTLDs) process to applicants in January and received nearly 2,000 applications. Some of those were from companies that want their name as the suffix on their Web address and some from domain registrars that are purchasing them on behalf of others or are looking to profit by selling them off.
No matter what the reason, the applicants are serious since domains don't come cheap. The fee to apply was $185,000 and there's an annual fee of $25,000, both of which go to ICANN. Not to mention, there are extensive legal and administrative costs tied to running a domain.
The intense interest nevertheless is predictable since there's a continual need for domain names and with that, a disappearing stigma for alternatives to .com. In the mid-90s, during the first rush to claim a stake online, .com was the status symbol and anything else was seen as slightly sketchy, particularly where e-commerce was concerned. But the intention of some of the new domain extensions will be to establish legitimacy. Companies like Canon are claiming their brand names as extensions, clarifying that a site belongs to them and not a domain squatter.
ICANN has set up a 60-day process for comments and a seven-month period for official objections. For any rights disputes, the Trademark Clearinghouse, with participation from Deloitte and IBM, will intervene. Beyond that, the U.S. Department of Commerce has a say. ICANN, which is now a private nonprofit, declared its independence from the U.S. government in 2009, but in the deal that brokered that, there are still some points where the United States has oversight.
In the Affirmation of Commitments by the United States Department of Commerce and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, ICANN committed to a review of any new gTLDs after a year. According to the agreement, the gTLDs will be evaluated for competition, consumer trust, and consumer choice, while the process itself will be subject to questions regarding its effectiveness and handling of issues.
For now, though, the biggest hurdle will be for the public to adjust to typing in and remembering these new domain names. Here are what are sure to be some of the hottest (and most hotly contested) gTLDs.

IMAGING COMPANY Kodak is continuing its bad year with the announcement that it intends to pull out of the printer market.
The firm, which is dancing around US bankruptcy court, says that it is steadily working its way towards its reorganisation and would like an extension that will allow it to complete it.
Kodak says it has made substantial progress towards its phoenix-like reemergence and stabilisation, but just needs a little more time to do it. It says its bankruptcy case is large and complex but so far it has managed to make operating improvements, cut costs and increase customer and vendor relationships.
Part of its plan is to sell of its digital imaging patents, though that did not go as well as planned and bids were lower than expected. Another part, it now says, is to sell off its remaining hardware operations, as in printers, and close the doors on that part of the business.
It will however continue to sell ink, known occasionally as black gold. Unless you are in Texas or Alaska and don't work at HP, or Kodak.
"Kodak is making good progress toward emergence from Chapter 11, taking significant actions to reorganize our core ongoing businesses, reduce costs, sell assets, and streamline our organizational structure," said Antonio Perez, Kodak chairman and CEO.
"Steps such as the sale of Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging, and the Consumer Inkjet decision, will substantially advance the transformation of our business to focus on commercial, packaging and functional printing solutions and enterprise services. As we complete the other key objectives of our restructuring in the weeks ahead, we will be well positioned to emerge successfully in 2013."
In the extension motion presented to the court this week, Kodak said that it has stabilised its global business and shed 2,700 employees, with plans to cut a further 1,200,
"The actions we are taking are significant steps toward our successful emergence," added Perez.
"We are committed to take the remaining steps required for our emergence in 2013 as a profitable, sustainable company." µ

Peanut Butter Pretzel Tart
I believe this one was adapted from a Rachael Ray magazine recipe, but I'm not 100% on that. I pull recipes I want to try, and stick them in a 3 ring binder, which is an awesome idea. But, sometimes there isn't a label on each page. So, I'm PRETTY SURE, this was adapted from a Rachael Ray!
We had family over the other night, and needed a good dessert – this one just so happened to hit it out of the park! The fact that it's easy and it doesn't take long just makes it better.
Peanut Butter Pretzel Tart
Yield: 9 inch tart
Prep Time: 3 hours
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
For the crust:
1 and 1/2 cups salted pretzels
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
For the filling:
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat the oven to 350, grind the pretzels in the food processor. Add the brown sugar and the melted butter, mix well, it will be crumbly. Press into a 9 inch round tart pan, and even up the sides. Bake for about 18 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven, and let it cool.
Beat the cream cheese, peanut butter and butter together until smooth. Add the brown sugar, and mix well. Set aside. Then beat together the heavy cream and vanilla together until slightly stiff. Fold together the cream cheese, peanut butter and butter mixture with the heavy cream and vanilla mixture. Pour into the crust. Cover and refrigerate for about three hours. When you're ready to serve it cover it in caramel sauce! So delish.

Connor and I were interviewed by Josh from IndieStatik while at GDC about our most recent project, Oblitus.
My current project with friend Connor Ullmann.
The website and devlog for the game can be found here.
Prism Panic
Created with my good friend Connor Ullmann, Prism Panic is a platformer about overlapping worlds with holes between them. Each world has different mirrored traits, creating some interesting puzzles and platforming. Was a lot of fun to make. The music was done by Liam Berry, with a single boss battle theme by Alec Holowka
Alien Bug Affair
So there were these alien bugs. And some procedural generation. And some dude with a jetpack in a weird-gravity alien world. Yup. It's happening.
Broken Robot Love
Broken Robot Love is a game I started creating at a game jam in Winnipeg, about a little robot that is seeking his human companion. It's a crazy puzzle platformer revolving around a block-placing, time-warping, mechanic. Adult Swim describes it as "One brave robot is determined to return to his ungrateful human owner. Scale lava pits, leap across cliffs, and manipulate lasers in this heartfelt robotic journey."
So yeah, check it out and tell me what you think!
Entity 37 – Progress Update
It's been a little while since I gave an update on Entity 37, so now is a good time.
I've been working on it pretty consistently, but overall progress has been a little slow. Feeling a little demotivated the last few days (for unknown reasons), but starting to get back into things again.
For the time, the video above explains what's been going on pretty well. If you follow me on twitter or visit indiegames.com you've probably already seen this.
Years of Game Development Adventures
I decided it might be interesting to try and explain my game development history, and the commercial games I have created. At the time of writing this blog post, I've sold several of my games to sponsors and done some contract work, so I thought it was a good time to write a post-mortem on how these all went down, what I've learned, and what I want to do in the future. Hopefully some people will find this interesting and useful in their own way.
Before I begin I should explain some of my history creating video games. I didn't start making any "commercial" games for several years. It took a lot of hard work beforehand.
I first started making games in Game Maker, a tool that I loved to use for about 4 years. My dad introduced me to Game Maker when I was 11 or 12 but it wasn't until I was 13 that I could actually handle the program. At which point, I became obsessed with the tool. It soon became my daily activity; the thing that I would go do when there was nothing else to do. I remember in grade 9 (first year of Highschool in Canada) I would wake up at about 5am, work on my games for several hours before school, and then come back from school around 4:00pm and work on games until I fell asleep. It's all I did, and all I really wanted to do at the time.
Jump ahead several years, and I've now completed several games, though nothing of which I would call very high quality. However, I'm 15 and anything considered remotely playable was a huge success and milestone. I was contacted by a teacher at a local school who wanted to build this Math game for some of his students, and I eagerly agree to make the game for $250. It was a small prototype and took a few weeks to make, but for a 15 year old kid I was going crazy. I'd somehow made money from the activity I spent all my free time on.
From this point onwards, I knew I wanted to make games, and I knew that some people were willing to pay for me to do so (no matter how small an amount they were interested in paying).
When I was 17 I started getting into AS3 with help from friend and awesome independent developer Chevy Ray. He had just created the FlashPunk library and I eagerly downloaded it the day it came out. I was utterly confused, and it took several months for me to sort through it and build something that anyone could consider a game. With lots of help from other developers, I eventually finished my first Flash game. At the time I didn't understand Flash sponsorships and did not go seeking any money for it. Money wasn't really on my mind at this point, either. Though I knew Flash games could go commercial, I didn't think I had the skill involved to sell anything I made.
A few months later, I went to my first Game Jam, and met independent game developers in-person for the first time ever. This is where I met Alec Holowka, who has since become a really good friend and collaborator.
I want to make something VERY clear here. If you're an aspiring game developer, like I was and continue to be, my largest suggestion for you is to go meet other developers. Save up money and go to GDC or a GameJam close to you. I doubt I'd still even be making games to the extent I do if I hadn't made an effort to make it out to this first jam.
At this game jam, with tons of help from Chevy, I created a prototype called Leap 4 Blue (named by internet friend, Broxter). Due to the game jam and meeting other flash developers, I was introduced to the idea of Flash sponsorship.
This is where I realized that other developers who actually made a living from games thought my little projects had value, and I should try for Sponsorship. So that's what I did with Leap 4 Blue. It took several months to complete, and was released in September/October of 2010.
All told, I made a few thousand dollars from this game (by the time I paid off Flash Game License, my musician Liam Berry, and the $100 I donated to FlashPunk). Looking back, I think I was extremely lucky with the amount I was paid. I feel like the game probably wasn't worth what I got, but in this case I happened to be lucky and things worked out the best for me. For a first commercial flash game, don't expect this much. Andy Moore has a great blog post on this.
At this point, I knew I could make money from games and I had a solid idea as to how to do it. I knew people would pay for Flash games, and I realized I had the potential to make games people felt had value. This did not help with my development. Before, I would just make games that I enjoyed making. Suddenly I felt pressured to make something good and every idea I had I would throw out because I felt no one would buy it. That's a bad mindset to have, especially for a young developer just trying to make games.
The next 8 months I tried making more flash games, and learned a LOT on the way, but never got anything that I really liked. I went through dozens of prototypes and tried lots of things, but nothing really stuck. Throughout this time I also worked on the Winnitron arcade cabinet, so although I didn't have any new work to show, I felt like I was at least helping a really cool project along.
It's a weird feeling when you're not getting anything "done". I know looking back that I learned a lot in those months, but at the time I felt pretty bad about not finishing anything. I knew I could. I had done it before. But I just couldn't get anything that felt right. Which sucked, and it was a bit depressing.
I went to GDC for the first time in 2011 with my fellow Winnitron crew, and was super inspired by what I saw. I met tons of developers and was blown away with what everyone was working on. I really wanted to get a new game done after going to this. I'm not going into a lot of details about my experience at GDC, but basically what I want to say is that if you can make it, GO. It's given me the most inspiration ever, and I've met a lot of good friends and collaborators there.
Shortly after GDC, I was offered to work on a game called Incubattle for Killscreen alongside Alec Holowka and Paul Veer. This came about in a pretty weird way. I was in a skype chat with several other developers, and Paul Veer came online stating that he was looking for some programmers for a job he'd been offered. Alec said he'd be up for it, and suggested that maybe I could program it along with him. I took that up, and we started.
We only had a month to make the game, and it came about pretty suddenly, so all told it was very rushed. Alec and I went crazy the first few days and got well ahead of the deadline, and then we worked on other things for about 2 weeks. We then realized we only had just over a week left to finish the game and spent some crazy hours getting it all done. But we finished it, and it was released.
The game, all told, made me less than Leap 4 Blue, however I felt pretty good about finally getting something done after so many months of having nothing to show.
I then spent the next 8 or so months working on little prototypes and trying to get my next flash game off the ground. But again I was in that low of never finding anything I really liked. At the start of September of 2011, I also started University, which left me with less time to work on games. By the time December rolled around, however, I was learning how to better manage my time between game dev. and University activities. I decided to enter Ludum Dare, alongside a friend of mine who had never made a game before. I worked on the game in AS3 while he made his first game ever in Game Maker.
I ended up placing 2nd overall, and he placed 129th. It was a really awesome experience.
But I was still feeling pretty low about not getting anything done. By January 2012 I hadn't made anything in about 7 months that I actually finished, and I wanted to get something out there again. I'm impatient, and 7 months feels like a really long time to me.
At the beginning of February, 2012 (at this point I'm now 19) I went to the third game jam in Winnipeg, and started what was Broken Robot Love (at the time called "Sync" for lack of a better name). My idea here was to take Leap 4 Blue, now verging on being 2 years old, and recreating it as if I made it in the current time, with all my new experience, instead of back then. And that's what this became. I spent a few weeks working on it, and after I had 10 levels done I realized I wanted to finish it and get it sponsored.
At this point I stopped working on the game (weird, right?) and sent it off to sponsors. Instead of continueing to work on the game while I waited for a response, I started screwing around with other projects. Looking back, I should have just kept working on it (and maybe it'd be done sooner). It took nearly a month to get a sponsor sorted out, and this was the first time I was going to make a considerable amount from a game.
At this point, it was just finishing up the game, which took longer than I had expected. As of writing, I'm finishing up the final bug after sending the "finished" version about 2 weeks ago.
I can't actually talk about who sponsored it or the process in doing so, but once it's released in September I can go into more details… But I'll talk about what I learned from this process below.
So now that I've explained all of my projects for the last several years, I figured I should talk about what I feel like I've learned.
- Make Connections – Go to game jams. Meet people. Become involved in whatever local scene you may have. People often think I'm really lucky for having such a "huge" game developer scene here in Winnipeg, but I don't. There are a small group of maybe 4 to 6 of us that meet up and talk about games regularily. We just make an effort to get together and talk, and travel to other places (GDC, OrcaJam, etc) to meet other developers.
- Makes games you want to make – I spent several months (multiple times) trying to build games I thought would sell and never got anywhere. When I make games I really enjoy making, that's when I have something successful. Sure, I keep in mind that I will try to make it commercial when it's done (to make sure it's polished up) but I don't worry about what I think will sell or not until it's completed.
- Unfinished projects are still learning experiences – I spent some time feeling pretty down about not getting anything "done". But later on, as I built games that did come to a completion, I realized how much I actually learned from these unfinished projects. I have countless unfinished projects – probably about 10 for every 1 finished game. And I'm totally okay with that. The more I learn, the more capable I am of finishing projects as well. It's all part of the learning experience
- Collaborate – To be honest, I've never finished very many of my collaborative projects. But I learned a lot, and had a lot of fun (and made some awesome friends along the way). It's sort of a different experience when you collaborate with someone (especially if it's in-person) and in my opinion, helps you learn a lot more, a lot faster. You can sort of help each other out learning stuff, since one person will know how to do X better, while the other person can do Y better.
- Be patient with Flash Sponsorships – This one is actually more recent, but I made a game along with Chevy at a game jam called Chunkadelic. It took us 2 days to make the game, and we decided to e-mail a few sponsors we thought may be interested. We didn't hear back for a few days, and decided to just say "fuck it, let's just release this thing and get it out there". The very day we released it we heard back that someone was actually interested in sponsoring it. It would have paid for my trip to the jam in the first place! So, wait a bit. See what people have to say. There's no harm in being patient.
- Communicate with Flash Sponsors – Before you go to something like Flash Game License to sell your game, try e-mailing individual sponsors first. Most of them will not reply, some of them will say no, but a few may actually be interested in talking. The worst that comes of this, is that you need to head to Flash Game License and try over there later on. And if you're lucky, you may have made connections that will put up a starting bid on your game to get things rolling. When e-mailing a sponsor, I'd be pretty direct but also as friendly as possible. Sell your game, but don't go over the top. Personally, I've had the best time when both you and the sponsor are really friendly and open minded about different possibilities.
- For those just learning programming – Don't get discouraged. When I decided to learn AS3 after Game Maker, it took several months of getting no where before I had anything to show. And I already had a basic understanding of programming and object orientation at the time. You just need to keep screwing around with it and asking questions. My best suggestion is to AIM for a small game to make, and then ask question whenever you run into a problem, until the little game is made.
- Learn more languages! – I didn't mention this anywhere throughout the post, but I've spent a considerable amount of time in-between projects learning C#, PHP, HTML5, and a tiny bit of C++. So far I haven't finished any games in any of these languages (granted the PHP/HTML5 helps with web design a ton), but it's a great way to keep learning. Learning other languages has helped me get a better grasp of the languages (AS3) I already know.
Hmm. I'm not really sure how I wanted to end this gigantic blog post, but I think this is about a good time to wrap it up. Hopefully someone found this useful, as otherwise I've just been talking about myself aimlessly for quite a while
Entity 37 – The Crawler
This is the first entry in a devlog that I plan to be updating on a weekly basis (or more frequently if I have more updates). We'll see what happens, but I'm pretty excited about writing this devlog. Hopefully it will inspire me to keep working (and maybe anyone who reads this as well).
So the game is called Entity 37, and it's about this pink creature, in the screenshot you see above. You escape into this space station and wreck havoc amongst the scientists and crew on board as you try to make your escape (which isn't going to necessarily be a success). The game is completely mouse based, and you move around and can grab, pull, and throw enemies and other intractable objects around.
So today I was working on a new enemy, called the Crawler. It's not totally done yet, but the basic idea is it's this enemy that you need to grab and fling into the walls (or hazardous objects, like lasers) to damage it. Meanwhile, it's trying to shoot you.
Here's a gameplay video that should better describe the new enemy.
Aaaand that's pretty much it. Hopefully will post another one of these in a few days with a bunch of new content to show!
A game I created alongside awesome indie developer Chevy Ray at the FullIndie game jam in Vancouver. We made the game in 48 hours. It's like some kind of crazy 9-games-in-one retro arcade game. Or something. You sort of just have to play it. The game is pretty trippy, so if you don't like flashing lights, you probably should not play this.
The music is all by the awesome band RYMDKRAFT. You should definitely go buy their album.
Sound effects were by Kevin Regamey, and he did a totally amazing job with 'em.
Broken Robot Love – Progress Update
I figured now would be a good time to post an update on the progress of my latest game, Broken Robot Love.
Where exactly is the game at?
The game, at this point, is basically complete. I'm still short a handful of levels, and I need to wrap up the final cutscene (the game has a few cutscenes), but besides that everything is pretty much completed. I've been setting bi-weekly milestones for the game, and have been able to keep up with them pretty well. I'm hoping to have the game completely done within a few days. This Thursday if all things go according to plan.
When will it be out?
Even though it's very close to completion, I'm not entirely sure when it's going to get released. Most likely it will still be a few weeks (or months) away.
Wasn't this started like 5 months ago?
It was! The game began on February 3rd during a game jam in Winnipeg, and I worked on it for about 2 weeks into February. At that point, I stopped development for a time and didn't pick it back up again until the beginning of April. So, all told, the game has been in development for 5 months, but I've only been actively working on it for around 3 months.
Wait. I'm not even sure what the game is about…
You can check out this gameplay video from a few months ago. It's reasonably outdated now (and there's tons more in the game) but it still gives a good feel as to how the game plays.
New site of 2012
Every once in a while (apparently around once a year?) I like to redesign my website. So, today I decided to throw a new design together and get it set up with WordPress. It's now 4:53 am, and I'm done (for the most part). This design is pretty similar to the last one, though it's ultimately cleaner and easier to read.
In other news, I'd really like to start updating this blog-like thing more often.

A little trailer for the game I started at PEGJAM 2012. Hoping to finish this up before I head out to San Francisco for GDC at the end of the week!
Ludum Dare 22 and future of Abandoned
Last December I created a game for Ludum Dare, a competition in which you need to create a game in less than 48 hours. The results were posted yesterday, and it turns out my entry, Abandoned, won 2nd place out of over 700 games! Really exciting with the results, and ready to continue development on the game now that I have some more free time.
I intend to continue working on Abandoned and release the full game later in the year (hopefully in a few months from now?). I'm not entirely sure what I'll be developing it in, but I'd love to eventually create an iOS version. Currently I've been learning Unity and slowly making progress on porting the game to that, but I'm also considering developing it in Flash first (what it's currently made in) and then once it's complete, porting the full game to iOS.
We shall see! Either way, I think it's going to be awesome.
A game created in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 22, about a cloned astronaut stuck alone on a space station, trying to escape. Very simplistic game at this point, but I fully intend to develop it further over time and add more levels and mechanics.
The game ended up getting 2nd Place out of over 700 games in the competition.
This is a game I created along with Alec Holowka, Paul Veer, and Tavit Geudelekian. We created this game for Incubus when they released their latest album. They were looking for a game to go along with the release, so we were hired by KillScreen to make it.
It was a pretty awesome experience, and the game turned out pretty well for the very short time span we had (just under a month).

Jenifae's Raw Journey
Horrible SAD Day!
Today was my 2nd granddaughter's BD party. I knew I probably wouldn't b 100% but, man.....................I got sick. I did okay in general.
I brought salad and made myself a salad and had that. I also nibbled on some potatoe chips........not too many - a couple of bites of cake..........yuck! I didn't like and was happy about that. I did drink 3 sodas ( oh my gosh )
But, on the way home I had grabbed the salad and also a few wheat thins (why?). I ate them on the way home and got vomotous. I actually thought I was going to throw up, I wanted to throw up (but, I can't because I'm a recovering bulemic - damnit!). I got home took some ACV and Digestive Enzymes and made some calm/peppermint tea. I feel better now.
I want to remember this and not go back. It's so hard to go to functions and parties and not eat the SAD food. I feel like I can't eat out until I have a stronger foundation.
I am going to do GS feast for at least 3 days with apples as crunching snacks if I need them.
Tomorrow I have anothe function to go to but, it's a BBQ so, maybe I can just have GS before and not having anything there? That's what I want to do.

Nash Healey Le Mans Coupe Godin Banks Ltd. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This is an extremely rare Nash Healey Roadster for restoration, it has come in from the USA and is a great candidate for restoration. We have the US Title and all EU Customs have been paid. It is ready to restore and then be registered anywhere. In 1949 a chance meeting between Donald Healey and George Mason, boss of Nash-Kelvinator, resulted in a new US-only model being added to the Warwick-based companys range - the Nash-Healey. The latter combined Nashs 234.6ci (3.8-litre) overhead-valve six and three-speed/overdrive gearbox with the chassis of the Healey Silverstone sports-racer. Crafted in aluminium and featuring a distinctive Nash-style grille, the streamlined body foreshadowed that of the Austin-Healey 100. Despite some notable competition successes - works entries finished 4th at Le Mans and 9th in class at the Mille Miglia in 1950 - sales were disappointing and production ceased in 1951. Restyled by Pinin Farina, the Nash-Healey re-emerged in 1952 no heavier than before despite its new steel bodywork and soon benefited from a larger (252.6ci, 4.1-litre) and more powerful (140bhp) engine. Racing successes continued, particularly at Le Mans where a Nash-Healey finished 3rd in 1952, beaten only by a brace of Mercedes-Benz 300SL sports prototypes. Capitalising on this achievement, a long-wheelbase fixed-head coupé Le Mans model was introduced for 1953. One of the most glamorous sportscars of its day, the Nash-Healey featured in the 1950s TV series Superman and Billy Wilders 1954 movie Sabrina, starring Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. Sadly, sales remained below expectations and Nash-Healey production finally ceased in 1954 after 506 cars had been sold. One of very few Pinin Farina-bodied Nash-Healey Le Mans Coupes built, chassis number N2420 was sold new in the USA and comes with a Missouri Certificate of Title. This car comes with many parts as you can see in the photos but it may or not be complete, it is impossible to take an inventory of all the parts with the car, what you see in the photos is what you get with the car. These are incredibly rare in Europe and this would be a worthwhile project for someone looking for something slightly different!

Green Carpet Cleaning in Pingree
Spin bonnet and steam cleaning methods are so last century! The spin bonnet method is unable to pull dirt and oily grime out of the carpet, and actually pushes it deeper into the carpet pile.

This amount of saturation leaves your carpet pad vulnerable to mildew or mildew developing – nobody wants that. More Pingree carpet cleaning customers choose Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning® because we use pile lifting technology to effectively remove the oils and dirt from the bottom of your carpet pile with very little water, leaving your carpets dry in just about an hour.
Whether you need one or ten rooms cleaned, Oxi Fresh's biodegradable, organic Pingree carpet cleaning services can get the job done! Scheduling a cleaning couldn't be easier – just call your local Oxi Fresh of Pingree ID carpet cleaning franchise today for a free estimate over the phone.

Carl Hiaasen Endorses Occupy Wall Street | In response to a question by ThinkProgress at the Society of Environmental Journalists annual conference in Miami, investigative reporter and novelist Carl Hiaasen offered his endorsement of the Occupy Wall Street movement. "It's good for all of us, not just politicians, to look out the window and see the pain on Main Street," he said. He recognized that the problems facing young generations today are more amorphous than the Vietnam War, and said he is "waiting and watching for leadership to emerge," but he likes the "energy and the optimism" of the young people showing up. Hundreds of authors have lent their support to the 99 Percent movement, from Lemony Snicket to Alice Walker.

Dream Number Beds are the premier source for competitively priced air beds. Offering fully adjustable firmness at the touch of a button, this option is ideal for those who like to have complete control of their sleeping surface, as well as for couples that may have specific and individual needs. For years, air bed technology came at a premium – but Dream Number Beds are an incredible option for a fraction of what is typically expected.
Popularized by similar brands like the Sleep Number beds, air bed technology basically replaces the coil springs of a traditional mattress with a system of durable vulcanized rubber air chambers. A quiet, electric pump regulates the firmness by adding or releasing air, so no matter how selective you are there is a greater chance that you can find the right amount of support. Best of all, you can easily recalibrate the bed as your needs and preferences change over time.
The fully adjustable 3-Series is the basic model that the Dream Number Bed brand has to offer with a thickness of 7.5", where traditional layers of upholstery cover its unique system of high-quality air chambers.
At 9.5" the 4-Series is a thicker mattress that offers the same technology as the 3-Series, but with additional support and comfort for those who need it. The 4-Series also features adjustable controls over the firmness of the bed with the click of a button.
