April Ashley Private View competition
Next Friday 27 September, April Ashley: portrait of a lady will open to the public at the Museum of Liverpool, in partnership with Homotopia.
We've had a sneak peek and it's looking absolutely amazing, and well worth a visit.
April's story is one that has captured the interest of many, ever since she was 'outed' as transsexual in the Sunday papers over 50 years ago. Since then, her life has been front page news on numerous occasions, yet her irrepressible character has carried her through, making her a true inspiration for many people around the world.
April was born George Jamieson in Liverpool in 1935, so it's amazing that she'll be returning to the city of her birth to see this exhibition dedicated to her life.
You could be there too to preview the exhibition before it opens to the public, at a special Private View on Thursday 26 September! We have five pairs of tickets available to win, by answering the following question:
Where did April have her gender reassignment surgery?
Please send your answer along with your name and telephone number to email@example.com
The deadline for entries is Monday 23 September at 5pm, and winners will be notified on Tuesday 24 September.
Good luck!

The NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race XXX (2014) was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on May 17, 2014, at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. Contested over 90 laps, it was the second exhibition race of the 2014 Sprint Cup Series season.
Race format[edit]
The race is scheduled to be 90 laps long, separated into five segments: four segments of 20 laps and a final segment of 10 laps. A mandatory pit stop will be between the final two segments, while pitting between the 20 lap segments is optional. Since the inaugural race in 1985, the format has changed ten times. In 2014, the Sprint Showdown will be held on Friday –before the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 Camping World Truck Seriesrace – instead of being before the All-Star Race.
Entry list[edit]
The All-Star Race is open to race winners from the 2013 Daytona 500 through the 2014 5-hour Energy 400 at Kansas Speedway and previous All-Star race winners from the past ten years are eligible to compete in the All-Star Race. The drivers who finish first and second in the Sprint Showdown, a 40-lap preliminary race, will also be eligible to compete in the race, as well as the Sprint fan vote winner provided that the fan vote winner finishes on the lead lap and has the car still in race-able condition (the latter condition also applies to the Showdown winner and runner-up). The All-Star Race will have 22 drivers. 19 of which are race winners from last season or this season.
The Showdown will have 23 drivers of the 30 drivers eligible. Justin Allgaier chose to skip the All-Star weekend and focus on the following week's Coca-Cola 600.[10] Allgaier, 29th in points, said accidents the previous weekends contributed to the team's decision to skip the non-points event.[11]
Practice and qualifying[edit]
Kyle Larson was the fastest in the sole Sprint Showdown practice session with a time of 27.820 and a speed of 194.105 mph (312.382 km/h).[12] Dale Earnhardt, Jr. was the fastest in the sole All-Star Race practice session with a time of 27.898 and a speed of 193.562 mph (311.508 km/h).[13] Austin Dillon won the pole for the Showdown.[14] Carl Edwards won the pole for the second year on a row for the All-Star Race.[15] For the first time, the three drivers who transfer from the Showdown participated in All-Star Race qualifying, rather than automatically starting at the rear of the all-star field. They could work on their cars prior to the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.[10]
Sprint Showdown[edit]
The Showdown started at 7:22 p.m. on Friday. Marcos Ambrose got nicked in the rear by Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and spun out to bring out the first caution on lap 3. Clint Bowyer took the lead from A. J. Allmendinger at the end of segment one. Michael Annett stayed out during the caution period and assumed the lead. He spun the tires on the restart and just about took a few cars out. Clint Bowyer took the victory in the Showdown, advancing to the Sprint All-Star Race along with Allmendinger. Josh Wise advanced to the All-Star Race by winning the fan vote. "This is kind of a big deal for our sport," Wise said after the Showdown Friday night. "It's a lot of young kids and people from around the world. I've had the chance to interact with a lot of them, and there's a lot of people who had never watched a NASCAR race who have now watched several, so it's a pretty cool deal."[16]
NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race[edit]
The All-Star Race was scheduled to begin at 9:20 p.m. on Saturday but was pushed back by almost half an hour. In segments one, two and three, all laps were counted, with teams having the option to pit during the breaks. In segment four, all laps were counted, with the running order at the completion of the segment being repositioned, based on the average finish of the first four segments. Running order ties were broken by the finish of the fourth segment. Pit road was open for a mandatory four-tire pit stop, with the order of cars returning to the track determining the starting order of the fifth and final segment. Only green flag laps counted in the final segment.[10]
Kyle Busch took the lead from Carl Edwards and kept it through the first segment. During the optional pit stops, everybody but Denny Hamlin pitted. On lap 27, in the second segment, Kyle Busch and Clint Bowyer made contact on the backstretch, with Busch hitting the wall and taking out Joey Logano. "Kurt (Busch) got real bottled up on the outside and slowed down so I knew I was clear to go to the bottom and swoop down and try to get underneath Bowyer," Kyle Busch said. "When I did, he blocked me and I hit him and he got squirrely and then I was still under him and it hit me and turned me around the wrong way on the backstretch and got in the outside wall." Logano stated that "they were just crashing in front of me", and that he "thought he was going to stay up by the wall and he started coming down. I was in the wrong spot and I couldn't get low enough quick enough as quick as he was coming down."[17] On lap 31, A. J. Allmendinger was turned by Brian Vickers, who was pushed by Greg Biffle, and hit the inside wall on the backstretch. On lap 37, Hamlin started falling to the rear. Kasey Kahne finished in the lead at the end of segment two; just like the break in the first segment, everybody but four cars pitted. Kahne led at the end of segment three as well, with everybody pitting after the segment.
After restarting on lap 61, Jeff Gordon veered up in front of Martin Truex, Jr. and Biffle, and hit the wall to bring out the sixth caution. "Something broke, I'm not exactly sure what," Gordon said. "I was just going down the backstraightaway going into Turn 3 and I just felt something in the front end give. As I got to the corner, the car went straight."[17] With two laps remaining in segment four, Ryan Newman slammed the wall in turn 4. Kevin Harvick led at the end of segment four and Kahne hit the wall. Harvick led the field down pit road since he had the best average finish in the four segments. Kahne had the second best in the four segments and therefore would've entered pit road second but did not because of pitting before pit road was open. Because of this, Jamie McMurray did.
In the final, mandatory, four-tire stop, Carl Edwards won the race off pit road. Jamie McMurray took the lead from Carl Edwards with nine laps to go and took the checkered flag. "As a kid, that is what you grew up wanting to do, is have a shootout like that and have a possibility to race for 10 laps," McMurray said. "He got a little bit of a jump on me on the restart and I was able to hang on to his quarter panel, and when we kept entering Turn 1 and 3, I was like, "It is for a million bucks. If we wreck, it's not that big of a deal." It's so cool to come out on top."[18]

The 10 Best Comedies Of 2012
5. Ted
Ted was the biggest surprise of the year for me. I just didn't expect to love a live-action movie that involved a talking teddy bear. Boy was I wrong. The plot is familiar and even cliche, but Seth MacFarlane delivers the goods. This movie is gut-bursting funny from the get go, and that's all I ask for from a movie by the Family Guy creator.
4. Safety Not Guaranteed
Safety Not Guaranteed is another delightful indie. It tells the story of three journalists who go on a mission to find a mysterious guy who believes he can travel in time. Aubrey Plaza and Mark Duplass play the romantic leads, and before you point out the age difference (something I did too), let me just say that they win you over with their charming performances. The film's finale is also worth pointing out – it's so surprising you're going to want to watch again.
3. Pitch Perfect
I walked into Pitch Perfect expecting to hate it. I literally sat in the theater, with my arms crossed and a grumpy face. I saw the trailer and automatically wrote it off as another cheesy musical. But once the movie started, I just couldn't keep from laughing, I tried, I really did, but Rebel Wilson's charm won me over. Now I am her faithful servant. Also, for those of you who might be skeptical like I was, Pitch Perfect is not a regular musical. The characters never sing their feelings. This isn't a Glee knock-off. The music is just there for fun.
2. This Is 40
Like I mentioned before – I want a comedy to make me laugh. That's the most important thing for me. The story comes after. Judd Apatow's This Is 40 is LOL hilarious. There's tons of jokes, funny pop cultural references and hilarious one-liners. There's also great cameos and a sidesplitting performance by Melissa McCarthy. Heck, even Megan Fox is amusing. This Is 40 is not as funny and focused as Knocked Up, but Apatow still delivers the laughs.
1. Moonrise Kingdom
Moonrise Kingdom is a fascinating coming-of-age movie. Wes Anderson's latest tells the story of the young love between two eccentric teenagers who decide to be runaways together. This precious film is held together by Wes Anderson's charming visual style and some very strong performances. This quirky comedy is a soon-to-be classic.

Ahem.. 21 Jump Street. Should probably be in that #5 spot.
# Joshon 28 Dec 2012 at 7:40 pm
Glad to see Safety Not Guaranteed on this list. I absolutely adored that film.

Thats My Boy might be for me. Ted was meh, only liked the restaurant scene.
# Daveon 29 Dec 2012 at 12:50 am
I agree with most of this list, but I am shocked that 21 Jump Street didn't make the cut. Goddamn funniest movie of the year. Once I saw Ted at #5 I thought for sure 21JS was soon to follow. Just surprised is all…
# Brianon 29 Dec 2012 at 3:56 am
Agree with others, 21 Jump Street was the biggest surprise of the year. It was a film that had no reason to be great, but was pleasantly hilarious. I enjoyed Moonrise Kingdom (even if it was Wes Anderson being Wes Anderson yet again). This is 40 was terrible and Apatow needs to find a new schtick. Overall a lousy year for comedies, then again it was a lousy year for movies in general.

Also surprised that 21 Jump Street isn't on here. Hilarious movie!
And the age difference between Aubrey Plaza and Mark Duplass is only 8 years!
"Safety Not Guaranteed" wasn't terribly funny and was a pretty poor indie film. The point where one of the characters plays a song that he wrote himself, which is not played for laughs and has lyrics that have nothing to do with the film, it was clear that the film was completely up its own arse.
The premise of "Safety Not Guaranteed" had a massive scope, not least since the advert was really placed and all sorts of interesting responses were made to the real life advert. In the film the only responses we see are from a single team of journalists and in the end the film has barely any references to time travel even as a concept. The film was a huge disappointment.

It seems that for a time between 1986 and 1993, Black & Decker had sold its heavy-duty and super-duty power tools under two different labels: PROFESSIONAL (yellow text) and INDUSTRIAL (red text, with "Heavy Duty" below that) but that most of those tools were otherwise the same.
I can't be sure of the exact motive for the yellow text label, but I could think some of those were sold in a few home improvement stores (the red text label tools mainly were sold by authorized B&D dealerships).
Starting in January 1992, B&D brought out 33 power tools under the DeWalt label. These were, again, mostly similar to their own Professional and Industrial line of tools, but they had a yellow casing or housing rather than the dark gray ones.
And then in the fall of 1993, B&D brought out its green Quantum line of power tools, to slot between their consumer line and their year-old DeWalt line.

US response 'would not resemble Iraq intervention'
Secretary of State John Kerry said a US response to the chemical weapons attack in Syria would not resemble interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya.
Syria has denied charges by US Secretary of State John Kerry that it uses chemical weapons, adding that "what he said was lies" and baseless. A US intelligence report says at least 1429 people including 426 children were killed in the attack.
Secretary of State John Kerry said a US response to the chemical weapons attack in Syria would not resemble interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya.
Secretary of State John Kerry described Syrian President Assad a "thug and a murderer" and said the US would work on its on own timeline in response to the chemical weapons attack.
The US intercepted the communications of a "senior official intimately familiar with the offensive" confirming the chemical weapons attack on August 21, an intelligence report showed.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said at least 1,429 Syrian citizens, including 426 children, were killed in the chemical weapons attack.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said a US intelligence report said there was "high confidence" that the Syrian Government carried out a chemical weapons attack with nerve agent on August 21.
He added that the rockets involved in the attack only came from Government sites.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said the US knows that the Syrian Government had used chemical weapons multiple times this year.
US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said the Obama administration was consulting with its allies to "further develop the facts" about last week's alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria.
Speaking at a news conference in the Philippines this morning, Hagel said the administration also would continue to seek input from members of Congress on how the US should respond to the deadly attack.
The Obama administration will release a declassified intelligence report that links the Syrian regime to chemical weapons use later today, according to CBS News' Chief White House Correspondent Major Garrett.
Without naming his sources, he wrote on Twitter:
Obama administration to release declassified intelligence report on Syria chemical weapons attack on Friday.
Obama administration will release legal finding for military action when/if POTUS orders it.
The US and its allies have "no smoking gun" proving Syrian President Assad personally ordered his forces to use chemical weapons to attack suburbs of Damascus, US national security officials said.
In secret intelligence assessments and a still-unreleased report summarising US intelligence on the alleged gas attack on August 21st, US agencies express high confidence that Syrian government forces carried out the attack.
However the evidence does not prove that Assad himself ordered that chemical munitions be used, according to the officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.
The Joint Intelligence Committee said its conclusion that it is "highly likely" that the Syria regime carried out last week's chemical attacks near Damascus is based on a "limited but growing body of intelligence".
"The JIC had high confidence in all of its assessments except in relation to the regime's precise motivation for carrying out an attack of this scale at this time – though intelligence may increase our confidence in the future," a JIC report added.
In response to claims by the Assad regime that Syrian rebels faked the attacks, the JIC said: "There is no credible intelligence or other evidence to substantiate the claims or the possession of (chemical weapons) by the opposition."

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 4, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Morphine appears to reduce the effectiveness of the commonly used blood-thinning drug Plavix, which could hamper emergency-room efforts to treat heart attack victims, Austrian researchers report.
The finding could create serious dilemmas in the ER, where doctors have to weigh a heart patient's intense pain against the need to break up and prevent blood clots, said Dr. Deepak Bhatt, executive director of interventional cardiovascular programs at Brigham and Women's Hospital Heart and Vascular Center, in Boston.
"If a patient is having crushing heart pain, you can't just tell them to tough it out, and morphine is the most commonly used medication in that situation," said Bhatt, who was not involved in the study. "Giving them morphine is the humane thing to do, but it could also create delays in care."
Doctors will have to be particularly careful if a heart attack patient needs to have a stent implanted, he said. Blood thinners are critical in preventing blood clots from forming around the stent.
"If that situation is unfolding, it requires a little bit of extra thought on the part of the physician whether they want to give that full slug of morphine or not," Bhatt said.
About half of the 600,000 stent procedures that take place in the United States each year occur as the result of a heart attack, angina or other acute coronary syndrome, he said.
The Austrian researchers focused on 24 healthy people who received either a dose of Plavix with an injection of morphine or a placebo drug.
Morphine delayed the ability of Plavix (clopidogrel) to thin a patient's blood by an average of two hours, the researchers said.
The painkiller also delayed the body's absorption of Plavix and decreased blood levels of the drug by about half. It further seemed to diminish the effectiveness of the medication in breaking up blood clots.
Although the study showed an association between morphine and diminished effectiveness of Plavix, however, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
"Co-administration of morphine and [Plavix] should likely be avoided, if possible," the researchers said.
Their findings were published online Dec. 4 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
This potential drug interaction is not well known, and Bhatt said news of these findings needs to be distributed as soon as possible.
"The first step would be awareness," he said. "I don't think many doctors are going to ever think of this potential interaction."
Bhatt said he isn't concerned about heart attack victims who are taking Plavix prior to their cardiac episode, because the drug already will be built up in their bloodstream.
The people with the most potential for harm are those not taking Plavix who are in the middle of a heart attack and need both pain relief and an immediate high level of the blood thinner in their system, he said.
One option to get around this interaction is to get the patient into a catheterization lab as soon as possible to treat the source of the pain rather than using morphine to dull the pain, Bhatt said.
Doctors might also use other blood-thinning drugs, said Dr. Gregg Fonarow, a spokesman for the American Heart Association.
Although Plavix is a widely used therapy, many medications have been shown to interfere with its ability to act, he said.
"More potent antiplatelet agents -- prasugrel [Effient] and ticagrelor [Brilinta] -- are now available for treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes and do not have the same type of drug interactions," said Fonarow, who is also a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Bhatt, however, said he is concerned that morphine might have the same effect on these other blood thinners.
"I think there's a reasonable chance the same phenomenon might occur with both those agents," he said. "We need further research."

Former USC Trojans quarterback Max Wittek has already said his recent trip to Austin exceeded his expectations. Now, Wittek has opened up even more about the visit to Horns247, telling the site he could "definitely see" himself joining the Texas Longhorns:
Texas was actually the first school to contact me after I announced I was transferring. That was great because Texas is one of best football programs in college football history. I felt like I could fit in well there and that I would like that coaching staff a lot. Even before I visited, I felt like I could definitely see myself attending the University of Texas.
Wittek also said he wouldn't be concerned about having to battle David Ash and Tyrone Swoopes for the starting job:
No matter where go there is always someone who you have to compete against. You can't worry about that kind of stuff though. It's a non-issue for me. I know I would push those guys to be better and they would push me to be better as well. I'll do everything possible and play my best to prove I can be the man for the job.
While not committing to the Longhorns, Wittek's comments certainly make it seem like he's leaning heavily towards finishing his collegiate career in Austin. What do you say, Texas fans? Would you welcome Wittek? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

The Room and Mobile Games
There's been a lot of fist-pumping support for this great article about mobile games and free-to-play from the creators of The Room, the now-classic iPad game about lovingly crafted Lovecraftian puzzle boxes. It's a well-written, powerfully argued stance about AAA, mobile, indies, game quality, and the potentially toxic effects of an F2P-saturated market. It is inspiring and energizing and, especially for those of us who have been in that iOS space for a while, it kind of reminds you why you used to be so excited about mobile. But…
…but, like any article or essay or opinion, Barry's article doesn't really address the whole ecosystem. Jake Simpson wrote a really great response that goes into a lot of the sort of gritty details and consequences related to the points Barry makes. It's a really excellent companion piece; a little less locker-room-pep-talk maybe, but also a little more grounded. I definitely recommend checking it out when you have time.
As inspiring as the original essay was, though, and as much as Jake helps establish the wider context in which Barry's vision lives, I feel like there is a kind of… well, I'm not exactly sure how to put it. So, here we go: I think the article would be better if it wasn't about The Room. I agree with literally everything in it, except the fact that any of it could possibly be related to The Room itself.
I think it is inevitable that some people will dismiss that, and what follows as a kind of… what do you call it? Just jealousy, I guess? Maybe snobbery, elitism, etc. Like this was written from the perspective of … why didn't my mobile game sell 5 million copies or whatever. I'd like to do what I can to dispel this notion so that the rest of what I'm going to write hopefully sticks better.
First, The Room is maybe the perfect iPad game. It is far from my favorite iPad game, but thinking about that audience and that device, it's… it's not surprising to me, at all, that that game has seen the success it has. Maybe that's just 20/20 hindsight, but it's a remarkable creation. I'll talk more about why in a bit. I just want to establish that what follows is not a slam on The Room.
Second, and this is I guess not a humble brag but a normal brag, I really don't need any more financial success right now. I'm fine. Though I love the idea of a game I make connecting with that many people someday, I've been very lucky and had a remarkable run. Fireproof have had an exceptional run, and that's awesome for them. I'm actually fairly certain a better experience could not have happened to better people. It's like… when you imagine how this stuff should work, Fireproof is one of very few examples of things being ok. I am super lucky in that things have been ok here too.
So, again, just to be completely clear, Fireproof Games are awesome, The Room is a really well-crafted thing, I hope we're all basically on the same page here. OK.
As I said earlier, while I wholeheartedly agree with every single point made in the whole article, for the life of me I have no idea what any of it has to do with The Room in particular. Barry seems to attribute the success of The Room primarily to the way Fireproof stuck to their admirable principles, principles which many indies in the mobile space recognize and celebrate: don't let the prevalent F2P models corrupt your game, respect your audience, build a genuinely challenging game, build a beautiful game, build for and with the touchscreen (not around it), and so on.
The thing is, I can point you, and pretty much anyone, at a dozen or more mobile games that all exemplify those principles memorably and in brilliant ways, and none of them have sold 5 million copies. A few games that come to mind:
And so on. None of these games have F2P interruptions, all are really genuinely built for touchscreen (none more so than Blek, what a miracle of touchscreen design!!), all are lovingly designed from an audio-visual perspective, they all have genuine systemic challenges, and so on. The thing that these games all have in common are Fireproof's core principles, at least as they seem to be espoused in Barry's essay. And while many of these games have been very successful, I think it's safe to say that they're not even on the same order of magnitude as The Room as far as popularity.
And the other, more important, thing is I would never include The Room in that list I just made. Not because that list is a bunch of "hipster" games (ha ha, take that, Gamasutra commenters), but because those games actually share these core principles, and The Room, somewhat weirdly, does not.
God, I know, lock me up already, right? How could I say such a thing? May I live the rest of my days in exile and madness.
As I said earlier, I have an enormous amount of respect for the craftsmanship and success of The Room. I just can't for the life of me see what it has to do with these principles of designing for touch, making "hardcore" games, and so on. Actually, that's not quite right; The Room is a "premium" game, with no F2P interruptions. However, it is also quite short and ends in a cliffhanger, so it's not like it is a fully-contained experience either.
As far as respecting your audience and making a challenging game, this is probably the most subjective but for me most important distinction to make, which is that The Room is… lacking, in this, at least for me. The Room is essentially a very cleverly disguised Hidden Object Game, the lynchpin and perennial champion of the entire casual games industry for the last decade. The Room does not contain anything that is a puzzle in the functional/logical sense of the word. The Room is basically Where's Waldo over and over and over again. The vast majority of the player's time in The Room is not spent thinking about how to proceed, it's spent staring at a thing trying to figure out where the next secret button is hidden.
Now to be clear I never felt like The Room was disrespectful to me as a player in the same way that most F2P games are. The Room is not openly disdainful of me, which believe me I appreciate. However, The Room does have this constant sense of… unjustified mystery. The narrative setting and in-game text all seem to reinforce the idea or the story that you, the player, are some kind of complete genius, the only human in the history of the world capable of unlocking the secrets within… this Where's Waldo book. There's a ludonarrative dissonance there, right, in pretending that a thing is a puzzle when it isn't. It's a bit condescending.
I only bring this up because that off-hand list of a dozen other mobile games do not do this, and it seems at odds with the principles described in the essay.
Finally, and this I can say with a bit more objectivity, The Room does not use the touchscreen particularly well. Zooming is clumsy and often counter-intuitive, multi-touch is almost entirely absent from the game, and there is little about the kind of inherent magic of a tactile interface that is present in the game. If you look at the list of games I made earlier, almost all of those games do really remarkable things with the touchscreen interface. Genius multi-touch implementations, inspirational gestural mechanics, friction-based force multipliers… it's just a buffet of good touchscreen design. The Room is far from being a bad touchscreen game, which I hope I'll make extra clear soon, but the idea that it excels in this department, as a principle, is I think incorrect.
Because, as I said earlier, The Room is the perfect iPad game. And a lot of luck, probably. But luck is out of your control, and when luck is out of your control, you focus on design, and hedge your bets. Let's look at what The Room does better than any other iPad game:
- Ostentatiously good graphics. The Room is shiny and 3D and has cool lighting effects and every level is bespoke and full of custom transitions. The Room looks good and it is kind of constantly reminding you of this fact.
- Constant novelty. While the meta-structure of the game is extremely repetitive, the micro-structure is basically a series of one-off, hand-built widgets that function in unique ways. Superficially, every puzzle in The Room is new. Unlocking a new chapter in The Room promises and delivers a whole new bundle of these unique-looking puzzles.
- Constant positive reinforcement. Everything about the story and the design and the in-game text is there to tell the story of a genius named Player. Even though all you're doing is looking for the next secret button, the game does a convincing job of dressing up this activity as not just an important mission but a mission that only you can do.
- (And luck, of course)
If you want to connect with the iOS audience, I think you could do worse than build a game that constantly tells the player that the game they're playing is awesome, and that they're awesome for playing it, and then on top of that doesn't bury them with F2P bullshit. To my mind, that's a winning recipe. And then to execute on that recipe with style and restraint, and to do it on a budget, that's just… that's a coup, that's a remarkable accomplishment.
But at the same time, I also understand why not everyone wants to include those particular ingredients in their game.
I wrote this because I think it would be relatively easy, especially for people new to mobile, to interpret the article Barry wrote as… a kind of "if you build it, they will come" sort of message. And actually, I tend to agree with that. As I type this, Blek is climbing the charts, and people are understandably falling in love with it.
Just not 5 million people. And that is completely OK.
Based on my experience and what I've seen in the iOS ecosystem for the last 6 years, you absolutely will not reach 5 million people just by making a premium iOS game with kickass touch controls, great graphics, and great gameplay. Not only is it not enough, all those great things may not even be related to that kind of success. If you want to reach an audience that broad, you might be better off focusing on the things The Room does do exceptionally well: advertise its own awesomeness, and congratulate the player for being part of it. That sounds cynical and if it does, well, so be it. But I am having trouble seeing it any other way.
Fortunately for all of us, you don't need to sell 5 million copies of a game to make more than enough money to make a few more games. You can sell two orders of magnitude less than that and still have a decent financial success on your hands. Get lucky and sell 5-10x more than that, and your little shop can make 2-3 more games. Even this is quite difficult and rare, but much, much more common (and achievable) than the sort of impossible scale of The Room's success.
So if you're inspired by the idea that mobile is burning, and that only you can save it, I really can't imagine anything better. Just… do it to save mobile games, don't do it for the 5 million copies sold.
(And yes, I noticed that I left Minecraft out of this)

Really pretty! Love the message and the Christmas tree and it's a beautiful gold. Can't wait to put a candle in it and see it lit up. Am giving this away for Christmas.
This is beautiful and such a great buy. Purchased for a Christmas gift and wish I'd purchased one for myself!
The candle holders were bigger than expected and the metallic lining on the inside makes the candle shine so bright. Bought them for Christmas gifts for church friends and had to order more for myself. Totally recommend
I bought several of these for Christmas gifts. They are more beautiful in reality and SO big! Love them! May have to keep one for myself!
I think this is a lovely hurricane lamp. I purchased it as a gift and will give it with a candle. I should have bought 2 of them. I love it!

knowledge or ignorance
This phrase is one that I keep moving through my thoughts wondering my side of the argument. At first glance I agree, but when it comes to definitive words...I begin to consider all the exceptions to the statement.
Even if someone should choose to never further their self growth in spirit or mind, even if they never consider their life with meaning...isn't it still a life worth living?
Although I can understand where Socrates is coming from with this statement, it seems to me that each and every life is a gift worth living even when it doesn't shine at its full potential.

The exact genre is hard to pin down. It's mystery and historical fiction in a sense, with some action-adventure (though much less than Eternity) and urban fantasy elements and even a few superhero-ish undertones to it.
One thing I can say is that Le Bonhomme du Minuit has some of the strangest subplots I have ever written or come across in other's writing, and that's really saying something. If nothing else, it is a rather bizarre story overall, but what else did you expect from me?

Quinn's Almost by the Sea
Quinn's Almost by the Sea Review
With the bar in the front and the dining patio in the back, Quinn's may seem like a bit of a dive at first glance, but this venerable restaurant serves up the best darn cheeseburger and fries in town. Appropriate for families, the restaurant stays busy for lunch and dinner, while the bar attracts a cast of colorful regulars. The menu has many tasty options, such as fish-and-chips, meat loaf, and beef tenderloin tips. If time gets away from you on a drive to the north beaches, Quinn's, which stays open until 11, awaits your return with a cheap beer and a basket of fried calamari. Drinks are strong—no watered-down cocktails here. Breakfast is sometimes served during football season. Park across the street at the Courtyard King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel and get free one-hour parking with validation.

1. Ken Robinson on Creativity
"By the time they get to be adults, most kids have lost the capacity to take a chance. They have become frightened of being wrong. Our education system has mined our minds in the way that we strip-mine the earth: for a particular commodity. And for the future, it won't serve us."
2. Jill Bolte Taylor on Her Own Stroke
"In the course of four hours, I watched my brain completely deteriorate in its ability to process all information. At first I was shocked to find myself inside of a silent mind. But then I was immediately captivated by the magnificence of the energy around me."
3. David Gallo on Underwater Life
"Today we've only explored about 3 per cent of what's out there in the ocean. And in a place where we thought there was no life at all, we find more life, we think, and diversity and density than the tropical rainforest, which tells us that we don't know much about this planet at all."
4. Arthur Benjamin on Mathemagics
"I combine my loves of math and magic to do something I call 'mathemagics'. I know as a magician we're not supposed to reveal our secrets. [But] without any more stalling, here we go. Now, 57 times 68 is 3400 plus 476 is 3876, that's 38,760 plus 171, 38,760 plus 171 is 38,931 … "
5. Hans Rosling on Stats
"I would like to compare Uganda with South Korea with Brazil.

Lithuanian ex-president's lifelong politics ban 'not objective' – UN body
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
GENEVA (9 April 2014) - Lithuania violated the political rights of ex-president Rolandas Paksas when it introduced a rule to ban anyone who had been impeached from running for or holding high office just weeks after the former leader had himself been removed from his post for abuse of power, the UN Human Rights Committee has found.
The Committee, after considering a complaint brought by Mr Paksas, said on Wednesday that the former leader could not have foreseen the ban, which was not in force when he was impeached. Lithuania should therefore overturn his lifelong disqualification on being a candidate in presidential elections and holding the office of prime minister or minister.
The Lithuanian parliament, the Seimas, removed Mr Paksas from office in April 2004, after the country's constitutional court found that he had unlawfully arranged Lithuanian citizenship for a Russian-born businessman. In May that year, the Seimas amended the electoral legislation to introduce the lifelong ban.
Mr Paksas argued that the amendment was introduced to target him and had been applied retroactively. He said his lifelong ban was unreasonable and disproportionate, and that the Constitutional Court, which upheld the disqualification, was biased.
The Lithuanian State said that the constitutional restrictions on Mr Paksas were proportionate given the "gravity of the related breaches".
The Human Rights Committee, in its conclusion*, wrote that when the Seimas decided to remove Mr Paksas from office, "no legal provision expressly stated that he could be barred from standing for election as a result."
The Committee considered that "the lifelong disqualification to be a candidate in presidential elections, or to be prime minister or minister, were imposed on Mr Paksas following a rule-making process highly linked in time and substance to the impeachment proceedings initiated against him".
The lifelong disqualifications imposed on him could not have been foreseen and lacked objectivity, and therefore amounted to an unreasonable restriction under article 25 (b) and (c) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Committee found.
Article 25 states that: Every citizen shall have the right and the opportunity, without any of the distinctions mentioned in article 2 and without unreasonable restrictions:
(a) To take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen representatives;
(b) To vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors.
The Human Rights Committee monitors implementation of the ICCPR by States parties. It considered this case under the First Optional Protocol to the Covenant which gives the Committee competence to examine individual complaints.
*The Committee adopted its views on 25 March 2014 and published them on 9 April 2014, Communication No. 2155/2012: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/CCPR/Pages/Jurisprudence.aspx
