WHY WE LOVE Screencheat – Subverted Rulesets
Screencheat might not be at the top of my "loves" as you'll see in my latest review. But I still felt that it was worth recording some gameplay and showing what makes it unique. Enjoy.
Screencheat might not be at the top of my "loves" as you'll see in my latest review. But I still felt that it was worth recording some gameplay and showing what makes it unique. Enjoy.
In which, we assemble the gamecell and explore the value of spiritual curiosity. And play curious games.
Prepping for Curiosity
I finished prepping the playlist just before Tim and Tyler showed up early to help me make everything would run well on Steam Big Screen. Mostly, this meant trying out Michael Brough's Kompendium for the first time and finding out if it's playable, makes people throw-up, and has a significant amount of 2-player competitive fun as they both try to figure out how to play each competitive minigame. Think Mario Party on a glitched-out Commodore 64. There. You got it! Unfortunately nobody picked Kompendium to play. But that didn't stop our evening from being delightfully weird.
Jason sat on the porch for 20 minutes in the cold because he forgot to try the doorbell. When we came back up stairs, he realized it was safe to come in. Greg, and Seth were with him by this point. Then a wild Pat Gann appeared! With doughnuts! And Brian came with hot cheese curls. And Vince came with Strawberries and chocolate-covered almonds! Snacks! Our new guy (and special guest for the evening), Austin, joined us. Richie came in around the time Alex Hively did. And then Dakota Williams made it in just before I started handing out late slips. Alex Carter was over an hour late. So we all made him wear the "late hat." (No, not really. But he did miss out on the good doughnuts.)
We got everybody acquainted and then launched into the first question:
Who's your favorite musical artist (or band)?
I was impressed by how everybody seemed to give their whole attention as each dude shared their answer. Unsurprisingly, a lot of answers were for game soundtrack composers. Austin and Seth didn't have answers of their own so we gave them Tori Amos and Pearl Jam respectively. I was proud of how many questions each guys asked when somebody shared about their favorite. Then I asked a semi-obvious question, "Whats your reaction to others' musical tastes? Does it make you curious?" Then I explained that one's curiosity for others might be linked to their curiosity for spiritual things.
Second question:
From 1 to 5, what's your current curiosity for God and spiritual things?
I told them they didn't have to answer out loud. But a number of them wanted to. I got a lot of 4/5s and only one 1/5. Still not sure I understood why he said that number because he also said he was really interested in Jesus and believed in him. Anyway, then we recapped about the last two GameCell get-togethers: how we talked about how God is Father who Loves Us. And How Forgiveness is Central to life.
Then I busted out one of my all-time fave bible verse (Matthew 6:33), where Jesus says:
"Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
A lot of guys seemed to think I was talking about floating in the "heavens." So I tried to bring it back down to earth.
What I should have said was this: "The Kingdom of God is Jesus' desired movement on the earth in the here and now. It's the desires of God in the world around us. It's God's dreams for us and what he desires."
Instead, I stumbled over controlling the attention of fourteen young men and talking about the worlds Eternal Life and "Aeon Zoe," which didn't appear to make any sense to them. So I tried to bring it back around with question number three:
How curious are you about games?
"Does that curiosity translate to your curiosity for other things?" I was a little surprised to find that a lot of our guys don't actively pursue news about games. But I wasn't at all surprised to discover that most of our dudes preferred to find out about games from YouTube folks like PewDiePie and Markiplier. Then I resolved on a final invitation: "How curious are you about videogames? Maybe you need to be more curious? Get curious. More curious than a cat. It won't kill you."
Then Pat Gann prayed us out. And we transitioned from my livingroom to the basement. Where the games were.
The GameCell playlist for the evening:
Talos Principle: Public Test (B+)
Austin got curious about the Talos Principle because its cover shows a humanoid robot petting a kitten. The actual game, however, was much more like Portal set in a place that looks more like Skyrim. It involved Austin figuring out how to use advanced technology to solve traversal puzzles. Then, suddenly, a voice started talking to him. It said, "I made you from dust," and "My name is ELOHIM." Further exploration made it even more odd. But it was very clear that this game rewarded curiosity.
It was great for a group. But no game would be perfectly easy to keep the attention of fourteen guys. So I decided to change the pace a bit before getting to another game.
Wanna go on a GameChurch Mission Trip to PAX East?
Without explanation, we watched this video.
Then I asked, "How much does this interest you?" In short, this is an opportunity to go to Boston to tell a bunch of people "Jesus loves you," and then give them free stuff. This was all news to my dudes. And I really wanted to gauge interest. Two guys said they were into it. So for them? Here's more information: http://gamechurch.com/missions. And here's more about PAX East.
Next, we were about to feed Pat Gann's curiosity about A Bird Story. But he had to go. And he relinquished his game-choosing-power to Seth. Seth picked Towerfall Ascension.
Towerfall Ascension (A+)
I'm pretty sure Towerfall is the crown champion of single-screen multiplayer indie games. It might be a fierce competition between it, Samurai Gunn, and Lethal League.
We went for a good five rounds of Headhunters. I felt a little bad for beating everybody in the end. A little bit.
Most of our guys headed out for the night. Because of life, work, responsibility and such. But those who stuck around really wanted to try FARG.
FARG is a same-screen multiplayer arena game very similar to Towerfall, but with a lot more chaotic color and guns. It's early. But oh man was it wild and fun! Looking forward to seeing the final game when all the edges and balancing is in place.
Bearzerkers (A-)
We finished the night with Bearzerkers.
Jason and Seth really wanted to play Bearzerkers. So we went over our 10pm closing time a bit and tried out the free alpha. In short, everybody's an armadillo running from a raging panda. Your goal is to screw over other players by getting ahead of them and walling-them-off into a dead end so the bear eats them and not you. Alex Hively didn't like getting trapped by the other armadillos.
Great night. Much curiosity!
Welcome to a world where beauty goes beyond pixel-deep. You're in for a treat. Enjoy.
We dive into the chunky abyss with nothing but a bow and illuminating arrows as Samus Everdeen (not her real name).
Knock, knock! Want some links to sweet stuff about redemption in games?
My Journalistic Corruption – Republique Ep3: Ones and Zeroes Review
There are no shoot-outs in strip clubs. There is no face-drilling. In fact, Republique only has a "12+" rating on the App Store. But even so, the weaponization of personal information felt more horrific than anything you do in gorefests like Hotline Miami.
Republique Episode 3 made me sick. In a good way, I think? Maybe? You know what! Just go read my review on Plus 10 Damage.
Horror With a Meaningful Hook – Neverending Nightmares Review
Ever have that dream where you wriggle loose one of your molars and drop it into the sink, hearing the little "tink" as it circles the drain? No? Just me? Well, that one is in here.
Feast your eyes on this unpleasantness at Plus 10 Damage.
Podcast 53 – Halloween
Zach, Josh, and John talk about the most dreaded of all anti-Christian/possibly Christian holidays, Halloween!
I talked about Christian engagement with Halloween and Survival Horror games on Theology Gaming. Go take a listen.
This is a response to a Christian meme that showed up on Facebook. Zachery wrote about it in detail on Theology Gaming.
We just started a brand new show about the redemptive qualities in videogames.
It's called WHY WE LOVE and it's a cross between an overview and a let's play. My goal is to keep them as short as possible but to also take you with me into redemptive play experiences. Our first episode is about Banner Saga. Enjoy!
Josh couldn't wait for GameCell. He showed up half an hour early and just sat on the front stoop.
We started right on time (seven P.M.). I opened with a story and a question.
"Seventeen years ago, my best friend unleashed a rage on me like I'd never seen. During a round of Goldeneye, He screamed at the top of his lungs, "YOU FREAKING F****T!" Sure, I was screencheating. But that sowed a bitter seed between us that lasted for over a year. It took a long time for us to forgive one another."
"What was your worst game experience – the time you got the most offended?"
Josh Z, Garrett, Tyler, Tim, Joey, Greg, Seth, Alex H, Jason, Joey, Joey's friend, Devon, and Wayne listened. Then they remembered of stories of their own.
Wayne didn't think he had any stories. But "big game hunting" had the word "game" in it, so he shared a story about a man interrupting a serene stare-down with a family of deer by walking up on him and paying no attention to any of the warning signs.
The rest of the guys shared a bunch of stories of times that they got upset at cheaters, hackers, and surprisingly few stories of "noob tubers."
Time for a quick refresher:
"Two meets ago, we talked about how Jesus wants us to follow him: "Do you want to follow Jesus? Why or why not?" Last time: we talked about how God is a radically loving dad who just wants to welcome you home, give you fine clothes, and throw you a banquet!
Tonight? Let's get to forgiveness."
What do you think Jesus says about forgiveness?
We heard thoughts from almost all of the guys. Each dude offered a helpful little chunk. The character of Christ's forgiveness came up through everybody: namely, God's forgives our sin, how he tackles our shame, and equips us to forgive ourselves. Tyler unknowingly set me up with Jesus' parable about how we're to forgive others from Matthew 18:
The kingdom of God is like a king who decided to square accounts with his servants. As he got under way, one servant was brought before him who had run up a debt of a hundred thousand dollars. He couldn't pay up, so the king ordered the man, along with his wife, children, and goods, to be auctioned off at the slave market.
"The poor wretch threw himself at the king's feet and begged, 'Give me a chance and I'll pay it all back.' Touched by his plea, the king let him off, erasing the debt.
"The servant was no sooner out of the room when he came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him ten dollars. He seized him by the throat and demanded, 'Pay up. Now!'
"The poor wretch threw himself down and begged, 'Give me a chance and I'll pay it all back.' But he wouldn't do it. He had him arrested and put in jail until the debt was paid. When the other servants saw this going on, they were outraged and brought a detailed report to the king.
"The king summoned the man and said, 'You evil servant! I forgave your entire debt when you begged me for mercy. Shouldn't you be compelled to be merciful to your fellow servant who asked for mercy?' The king was furious and put the screws to the man until he paid back his entire debt…"
"Do you believe you're forgiven?"
"Why not forgive everyone? For everything! And yeah, I realize that it seems impossible. But that's why we've got to remember how much we're forgiven. It makes it a whole lot easier. Maybe it helps to end with a question?"
"Who do you have a hard time forgiving?"
Wayne prayed for our crew. I don't know if Seth knew Wayne was joking about kneeling as Seth followed Wayne into his silly religious-kneeling pose. We giggled. Wayne sat up and soon spoke freedom from unforgiveness over our dudes. Then he prayed for a fun game time.
Gauntlet B-
Garrett picked Gauntlet and stepped into the shoes of the Valkyrie. Others
As a 2014 reboot of the 1985 classic, Gauntlet actually established a lot of what we love about local multiplayer brawling. End-of-level scoring keeps each player hounding for gold. And when the rooms drown in dregs of the deep, cooperation becomes necessity.
"Don't shoot the food!" was heard a few times. If somebody shot the food, that meant no health for somebody who probably needs it.
For those playing, the game was pretty solid, minus the fact that four locked-in classes meant not everybody got to play as the character they wanted. To watch? It was kinda boring.
Maybe we'll only bust this one out in the future if we have small crew of just four people.
Screencheat A-
Josh Z went straight for Screencheat, the game where everybody is invisible and the only way to win is to peek at their screens. It's like four-player split-screen Goldeneye, but with better controls, a faster pace, and the requirement of peeking at other player's screens. Spread-based weapons, and colored maps with lots of landmarks keep the game sharp and focused.
It broke our brains a bit. But as each player got comfortable in the map, we got good at hunting each other down, or camping and watching their movements as they came close. It took a few rounds to figure out how to look at other screens while your own, but the saving grace is that it's really fun to watch, as your audience can more easily track where each player is and how they are responding to one another.
In addition to colorful worlds, maps, and weapons, the game's ton takes a cheerier tone with some seriously funny kill notifications:
Speedrunners A+
The joy of Speedrunners is that it uses traditional platforming language as the foundation for four-player racing. Any player that falls behind dies. Last man standing wins a point. Three points to win.
Think sidescrolling Mario Kart with super heroes in ridiculous costumes.
Speedrunners won the evening with it's sheer party-game effectiveness. Wayne picked it because I made him pick something. The guys talked him into choosing Speedrunners, because I didn't effectively lead him into a game that didn't require mechanical skill. It worked fine for them. And Wayne got the controller in hand and pressed a few buttons. Progress.
Stanley Parable A+
Half the guys left. For the half of us that remained, slower and funnier seemed appropriate. Nobody present in our crew played the Stanley Parable when we had a whole night around it last year.
Here's Jason's candid response to the Stanley Parable:
The game is a live-action commentary on your decisions as a player. The game doesn't often go so far as to break the fourth wall, but it flirts with it the whole time. And it really makes players question why they're doing what they're doing. And will they obey the "great voice in your head?"
Always a fantastic choice for GameCell. And if anybody is curious about this game, I recommend that you download the standalone demo of the game as it's probably the best demo of any game (and will spoil absolutely nothing of the main game).
Return of Obra Dinn A-
Before everybody left, I squeaked-in a quick session showing them the ten-minute demo for Return of Obra Dinn. This game is by no means finished, but does some really amazing things with interactive narratives, allowing players to piece together the story based on how they play. Also, the game has a very wild art style. Some might hate it, but I love it.
A wonderful night as always. And in case you were wondering, yes everybody was very forgiving when we played games together!
"Just love and listen."
This seemed to be what King Daddy was reminding me as I prepped for our Friday Night experience. Questions sat in queue, but I said ready for Him to illuminate the theme: He's a loving Papa who wants to connect with these dudes.
"What's the best game experience you ever had with your dad?
"…Or stepdad? Or father-figure?"
Greg, Alex H, Tyler, Vince, Jason, and Alex C shared stories about playing games with papas. It wasn't really a surprise that their all-time favorite games were often the ones that they played with their dads, stepdads, or father figures.
"What comes to mind when you hear, 'Father?'"
Each of the guys shared a wealth of thoughts. Then we turned towards the concept of God as Father. We explored the concept together, encouraging an open dialogue. Then I thought one of Jesus' parables might bring the subject to a head:
A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, 'I want my share of your estate now before you die.' So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money [on booze and hookers].
About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything.
When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, 'At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! I will go home to my father and say, "Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant.
So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his [patriarch never-has-to-run wealthy-landowner] father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran [full speed, outrunning any of the accusers and naysers] to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. His son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son.'
But his father said to the servants, 'Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.' So the party began.
"May Vince and I pray into you the Father's Love? For the party to begin?"
We prayed. Imparted. Then, game time. Vince and Tyler headed out to get snacks. The rest of us slowly transitioned to the downstairs.
Neverending Nightmares (Jason's pick). B+
Following the theme of Papa God and deeply committed trust, Neverending Nightmares made for a surprisingly-apt pick. Not sure the guys got the thematic connection. But that's why I'm linking my explanation about it here: The Light of the Cross in Neverending Nightmares. Vince dug the artwork. Our crew seemed to dig the personal-testimony-driven horror. I asked a lot of questions as we played-through to really encourage deeper engagement beyond just "this game is really creepy."
The biggest reveal was that this game was about empathy for those who deal with self-harm, depression, and obsessive compulsion. Also if you're in similar shoes, this game exists to bring hope and say "you're not alone in this."
Ittle Dew (Tyler's pick). B+
After the scary and serious, some humor and color came at the right time. Ittle Dew follows the original top-down Zelda games' almost to a T. But the curt tone and silly parodies of Zelda play through all of the expectations of a similar game. Tyler had a lot of fun playing it. And the rest of our crew had a lot of fun helping him with the puzzles.
Megabyte Punch (Alex C's pick). B+
Time for something that brews adrenaline – four players at a time. Four players crammed-in on one screen and smashed each other around as customized robots that I had to build-out individually for an ideal combat engagement. The setup was a lot of work. But the payoff was great for our Smash-Bros-trained GameCell duders. Each round got crazier and crazier. But the climax was the enclosed level with a ton of fire-red bumpers that sent you banging into one another (and probably oblivion).
Hatoful Boyfriend. (Alex H's pick) D+
On the box it sounded great: date pigeons, laugh at fowl jokes. We all did the voices for each new bird. And had two people doing the voice for the teenage girl protagonist who was dating the birds. Problem was that twenty minutes into the game, the only meaningful interaction we had with the game was forwarding non-interactive conversation. No choice. Just push through conversation. It could have been grand. I thought I knew it would be grand. But it almost put us all to sleep. Seriously. Some pigeon puns were funny. But on the fourth "Everybirdie listen up!", we lost interest. So we quit early and went to a game we knew and loved.
Lethal League (Group pick) A+
Pigeon dating put us to sleep. Lethal League to the rescue! We ended the night on a good note.
In which, we look at stories about Jesus showing up in nightmares (in a good way), fun violent things to do with friends, and why Snow White should get her own game.
Wolf Among Us Season 2 Should Be 'White Among Us'
Snow White should be the main character in Wolf Among Us: Season 2.
It's not a stretch. She's front-and-center in Fables' second volume, Animal Farm, where Bigby takes a back seat. Snow takes charge on an unannounced visit to The Farm, and has to deal with an unpleasant reality: The Farm is a refugee camp with growing discontent.

Neverending Nightmares – The Light of the Cross In The Midst of Darkness
Horror games aren't how I like to spend my time. But I have to admit that there's something about how this game involves Jesus anguish as a part of the story and how he enters into our story.
Matt Gilgenbach highlights in Neverending Nightmares how Jesus felt similar absence from God, but also that tension of maintained relational trust. Jesus chose the cross because he wants to enter into our horror in order to deliver us from it. Perhaps that deliverance extends through us when we enter into others' horrors as well?
Read 'Neverending Nightmares – The Light of the Cross In The Midst of Darkness' at Gamechurch.com.
Grand Smash Dunk Slam – Lethal League Review
I gave this game a 9.5/10. Here's why:
It's the slam-bam "you got me, man" party-fighter of the year. You'll love slamming your friends with the Baseball Of Doom. And you'll kinda like it when they strike it home-run-derby-style right into your throat. I promise. It's good times. Lethal League turns sleepy-slouchy friends into raging sports-brawlers in seconds flat.

Earth-Friendly Spoons and Sticks from Bel-Art Products Help Companies Meet Sustainability Goals
Made entirely of PLA (polylactic acid) resin, new Scienceware® Earth-Friendly Sampling Spoons and Sticks from Bel-Art Products have less environmental impact than traditional petroleum-based plastic sampling tools.
A true green material, PLA resin is made from annually renewable plant resources and decreases dependency on non-renewable resources by reducing the use of petroleum in manufactured products.
"Commonly used in water bottles and food packaging, PLA resin has a proven lower carbon footprint than traditional plastic resins. The growth of the plants and manufacture of the resin uses less nonrenewable energy and results in less greenhouse gasses than equivalent petroleum-based plastic resins," according to Robert N. Petersen, Product Manager for Bel-Art Products.
Products made from PLA resin are fully biodegradable through industrial composting with the end result being carbon dioxide, water and humus. "Scienceware® Earth-Friendly Spoons and Sticks are not made from a mixture of petroleum and bio-based plastics that only break down to smaller pieces of plastic, like many other "green" plastic products," added Petersen.
Many companies use disposable sampling tools to prevent cross contamination and eliminate cleaning costs and validations. It is not necessary to be at odds with sustainability goals and a clear conscience just to satisfy these needs. Those that have defined sustainability goals and those that are looking for ways to easily decrease their impact on the earth can benefit from the use of these new earth-friendly tools and truly make a difference.
Currently available are Long Handle Sampling Spoons which are ideal for acquiring samples from bottles, jars and other confined areas; Wide Handle Sampling Spoons that provide enough stiffness to easily sample packed powders and other firm materials; and 1001 Sticks, perfect for mixing samples, handling capsules, scraping containers or positioning solid samples under examination.
Scienceware® Earth-Friendly Sampling Spoons are sold non-sterile in a pack of 10 and range in suggested list price from $10.50 to $15.60. Scienceware® Earth-Friendly 1001 Sticks have a suggested list price of $38.25 for a pack of 100, and $175.50 for a case of 500.

ODNR offers ice safety tips
GREATER AKRON — Ohio's north shore is a popular location for ice fishing and across-water snowmobiling, but the following tips from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Watercraft are useful for anyone who plays on water when it is frozen.
Whether you ice fish on Lake Erie or skate on a pond, here are a few ice safety tips that winter sports enthusiasts should keep in mind before venturing out onto frozen water.
Ice thickness
- Be aware of your surroundings before venturing onto ice. There is no such thing as 100 percent safe ice. There are many factors other than thickness that can cause ice to be unsafe.
- Avoid standing on ice that is 2 inches or less in thickness.
- Check for known thin ice areas with a local resort or bait shop. Test the thickness yourself using an ice chisel, ice auger or even a cordless one-quarter-inch drill with a long bit. Four inches of new clear ice is the minimum thickness for travel on foot and 5 inches is the minimum for snowmobiles and ATVs.
- Refrain from driving on ice whenever possible. If you must drive a vehicle, be prepared to leave it in a hurry: Keep windows down, unbuckle your seat belt and have a simple emergency plan of action you have discussed with your passengers.
- Stay away from alcoholic beverages. Even "just a couple of beers" are enough to cause a careless error in judgment that could cost you your life. And contrary to common belief, alcohol actually makes you colder rather than warming you up.
- Don't "overdrive" your snowmobile's headlight. At even 30 mph, it can take a much longer distance to stop on ice than your headlight shines. Many fatal snowmobile through-the-ice accidents occur because the machine was traveling too fast for the operator to stop when the headlamp illuminated the hole in the ice.
- Wear a life vest under your winter gear, or wear one of the new flotation snowmobile suits. It's a good idea to carry a pair of ice picks that may be homemade or purchased from a sporting goods store that caters to winter anglers. It is difficult to pull yourself back onto the surface of unbroken but wet and slippery ice while wearing a snowmobile suit weighted down with water. The ice picks will help pull yourself back onto solid ice.
- Do not wear a flotation device when traveling across the ice in an enclosed vehicle.
What should you do if a companion falls through thin ice?
√ Keep calm and think out a solution.
√ Don't run up to the hole. You'll probably break through and then there will be two victims.
√ Use some item on shore to throw or extend to the victim to pull him or her out of the water such as jumper cables or skis, or push a boat ahead of you.
√ If you can't rescue the victim immediately, call 9-1-1.
√ Get medical assistance for the victim. People who are subjected to cold water immersion but seem fine after being rescued can suffer a potentially fatal condition called "after drop" that may occur when cold blood that is pooled in the body's extremities starts to circulate again as the victim starts to rewarm.
What should you do if you fall in?
Try not to panic. Remain calm and turn toward the direction you came from. Place your hands and arms on the unbroken surface of the ice (here's where ice picks would come in handy.) Work forward on the ice by kicking your feet. If the ice breaks, maintain your position and slide forward again. Once you are laying on the ice, don't stand. Instead, roll away from the hole, which will spread out your weight until you are on solid ice.
The best advice is don't put yourself into needless danger by venturing out too soon or too late in the season.

Autopsy: Nashville singer shot in back of head
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - An autopsy for a Nashville-based singer-songwriter who was killed by a bar owner shows Wayne Mills was shot in the back of the head.
Bar owner Chris Ferrell has told police he shot Mills in self-defense in the pre-dawn hours of Nov. 23. Ferrell says the two got into an argument over the musician smoking a cigarette in a no-smoking area of Ferrell's Pit and Barrel bar in downtown Nashville.
Mills was brought to Vanderbilt University Medical Center at about 5:30 a.m. and died there about twelve hours later.
According to the autopsy from the Davidson County Medical Examiner's Office, Mills died from the gunshot wound, although he also had two broken ribs plus several bruises and scrapes. The report said there was no evidence the gun was fired at close range.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department has said its investigation found the evidence did not support Ferrell's self-defense claim. He is charged with second degree murder and is free on a $150,000 bond.
A call and email to Ferrell's attorney, David Raybin, late Friday afternoon were not immediately returned. Previously, Raybin has said his client is not guilty of any degree of homicide.
A spokeswoman for Mills' family, Beverley Keel, said the family has no comment because the investigation is still ongoing.
According to biographical information in his obituary and memorial service announcement, Mills toured for more than 15 years as lead singer of the Wayne Mills Band. Country music stars Jamey Johnson and Blake Shelton, as well as American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, all opened for the band in their early careers.
Chris Talbott, in Nashville, contributed to this report.

Score from 1273 reviews Good
hotel feels brand new. located between Omonia and Monastiraki Metro stations. Hotel provides laundry service at very reasonable price. Large breakfast offerings. Complementary coffee in lobby during day. Located in "real" Athens at central market. Several old style tavernas in area. Plenty souvlaki shops in area for quick eats. Many taxis in area. Computer (not just wifi) in lobby.
Location is very good, reasonably close to everything. Hotel is newly renovated, breakfast options excellent, they have a very nice terrace at the top of the building with nice view of Acropolis. A fabulous restaurant nearby, Klimataria (authentic Greek). A bit noisy as it is right at the fruit market.
We stayed at Athens Square Center for 5 nights. First two days WiFi worked OK, very poorly for the following three. Signal very weak, continuously disconnecting, pretty much unusable. Nothing wrong with my tablet, as soon ad I went down to reception worked perfectly. Staff presumably helpful, they said they reset the equipment, nobody seemed to investigate properly to see if there was a problem with signal at the end of the corridor where our room was.
Like the setting of the color of each floor. The place is great. The view at the top of the hotel was excellent. The place is near to the train station.
We stayed in the acropolis view room, it was simply fantastic!!! Everything is very stylish, new, bright and cosy at the same time! The room was very quiet and the window view - simply breathtaking! The location is very central - perfect! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is served all night long - it was very convenient for us as we had to leave very early in the morning. The breakfast is very good! The whole experience is great, i give 10 out of 10. Next time in Athens will stay only in this hotel.
Wifi Breakfast Cleanliness
Noise from fruit market fairly early
Excellent location of the hotel is very close to the train station close to the market, the hotel is very clean, delicious breakfast .
Must put new towels because he was cruel .
The hotel is not so good that justifies its high prices.
- The staff was really friendly and helpful. - The location is right in city center and near to metro station. - The top roof bar had an excellent view.
- There was too many mosquitos. during the night has to kill a few.... -The available facilities to leave luggage after checking out are not safe. there is a room available but no security is guaranteed and everyone can get inside.
Our cab driver pursed his lips and told us to keep our money out of sight when he dropped us off. But we found the people to be very friendly and accommodating, from the staff to the vendors outside at the farmer's market, and all others. Never did we feel threatened, and in fact, felt very comfortable. We loved this place.
The roof top bar was expensive and served poor quality drinks.
Reception desk was very helpful.
Beds were hard.
Location to attractions was convenient Price very reasonable Great Rooftop View /Bar Helpful Staff Plentiful breakfast You get used to the location after a few trips into town Great value for the $$$$
Produce Market location has some drawbacks. Arriving after dark a bit intimidating at first. Walking up street from airport Metro with luggage darkness of area took a bit of time getting used to.
Location Breakfast Friendly staff Price
Location was good as were rooms and breakfast. Younger staff were very helpful.
Wi fi was a real problem particularly as subsequent travel and tours are arranged online these days. I did not detect a lot of concern or desire to assist in this.
I like the hotel for everything since it is next to everything you may need and think of, and the stuff are amazing especially Maria waw what a lady always smiling assist you in anything you want and she is perfect along with Elias who is serious man but perfect made you feel secure and happy in the same time.sure i will stay there next time.
Nothinh Nothing Nothing
The place it was near from monastiraki and the metro station
The fruit market under the hotel everyday but ok it wasnt so bad
The location next to central market breakfast was good value and rooms relatively large and big walkin shower for £45 per night for 2 people.
Perfect location. Just 5-7 minutes from Monastiraki metro station which takes you directly to the airport. Ermou street is just 5 minutes walking from the hotel. Good value of money. Great brekfast!!
The toilet door did not close properly and we had not privacy.
The hotel as a hotel was very nice
but the market set in front of the hotel did not help for a good
Comfortable room, friendly staff, awesome location. Great value for the money.
Lifts a little small but that's about all
Loved the location. A great little place on the corner serving local cuisine. We ate their both nights, great customer service from both the owner and waiter. Delicious food, reasonable price and all with in a hop, skip and a jump from accommodation. This was clearly the highlight of our stay at Athens Centre Square. The buffet breakfast was included in the room, this was enjoyed. The rooms were comfy with nice views. Great customer service, and storage of our bags the next day until 7pm complimentary.
Wifi was very margional.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfasts Clean & modern well equipped rooms - ours on the 8th floor had a balcony with superb views over the city. Easy work to all the main sites. Good value for money.
WiFi was good in reception but in our room on the 8th floor it was poor.
The view of the Acropolis, and the central location.
Delapedated neighborhood, small room.
Wonderful and helpful staff. Hotel is right in the middle of a market - exciting and colorful, and very close to the acropolis and the museum
excellent breakfast, clean modern rooms...
noise from the street

Recognition for World War II heroism may be near for Carl Clark

I think that it is a tragedy that this has gone this long without Mr.Clark being recognized for his heroism. When a man goe's above and beyond the call of duty and doe's what Mr Clark did, he should be awarded the Congresional Medal of Honor. Race has nothing to do with Heroism in a time of War. I hope that Congresswoman Eshoo can get this done for Mr. Clark.

I used to work for the Navy and did a tour at Explosive Safety at NAVSEACENPAC in San Diego. I read the report on the explosion at the Port Chicago ammunition dump during WWII. Racism was pandemic in the Navy at that time. African Americans were given the most dangerous jobs under the most difficult working conditions and received virtually no recognition for their heroism and sacrifice.
Mr. Clark's valor should be publicly commended. He repeatedly put his own life at risk while suffering from serious injuries to save the lives of his fellow crew members and to save the vessel. There is no question that Mr. Clark deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor. All that remains is whether our Government has the courage to right this wrong.
I applaud Congresswoman Eshoo's efforts to right to give Mr. Clark his well earned recognition. The Menlo Park City Council can do the same at the Tuesday May 3, 2011 City Council meeting. Mr. Clark should be given a Key to the City. He is definitely one of the most heroic people of "The Greatest Generation". We should all honor his service to our country. It is people like him that keep our country free.

*I am an amateur photographer who enjoys travel and shooting landscapes. Even as an adolescent, I always had a camera, but became more serious about photography with the advent of digitals.
My favorite TV program is "Travels To the Edge with Art Wolfe". His photography is truly creative art. Though I seek to emulate his work, I have much to learn.
Even with a course in studio photography, I still prefer landscapes, and am not comfortable shooting people. (That's something I need to get over.) I would love to shoot wildlife, as I consider this kind of photography to be the most difficult, but fear that my patience and knees would not hold out.*
I love to talk with friends and FAMILY who might appreciate my photography, because it is a very important part of my life. It's wonderful to get positive feedback.

Can you tell me what size of knockout punches you used for the for the heating element, ball valve, and sight glass? I'd like to use the harbor freight punches but I'm not sure how the size relates to actual inner diameter. Thanks.
I don't remember off the top of my head but this is the kit I used and it had the right sizes for the job. It will work just fine for those three holes.
Ball valve and sight glass holes are the same size. I think they are 7/8" and 1-1/4".
BlakeElectric BIAB Build | BIAB Mesh False Bottom | Controller/Fermentation Chest
Thanks for answering my questions in post 103. Question about brewing in your 11 gallon kettle.
My 1st 4 batches (extract + steeping grains) were done in a 7.5 gal kettle. In anticipation of going all-grain BIAB, I've researched kettle size. I was concerned that 5 gallon batches would get lost in a 15 gallon kettle - the one BIABrewers seem to recommend - so I've wondered about the 10-11 gallon kettle. Meanwhile, my son was given a dented up keg by his boss, which I cut and made into a keggle. Nevertheless, I think I'd like to get a kettle and have something a little dressier, so I'm still wondering about size.
I "think" my first all-grain - as well as first BIAB - brew went well last Sunday. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/my-f...-chill-356409/.
The keggle I made ends up being about the equivalent of a 14 gal kettle the way I cut it. I found that the volume isn't lost at the end of the boil, nevertheless, I still want to ask about your experiences with your kettle.
I plugged some gravity figures into the calculator on the BIABrewer forum. The B3 Stout kit I brewed in my little kettle has an O.G. of 1.083. Plugging this into the calculator shows that my starting volume (full volume BIAB) would be 8.8 gal and mash volume (grain + water) would be 10.11 gallons.
The pumpkin ale I just brewed by BIAB had O.G. of 1.065 requiring starting volume of 8.5 gallons with mash volume of 9.5 gallons. After pulling the bag, the start of boil volume at 212* is estimated at 7.9 gallons.
So, I could brew this pumpkin ale in the 11 gallon kettle. But, the Stout would require me to hold back some of the water and perform a dunk sparge. Apparently, the start of boil volume would still be 7.9 gallons.
To cut to the chase, what O.G. beers are you brewing in your kettle, and do you find yourself wanting for a larger kettle? Have you brewed any beers for which you could not start with the full volume?
Thanks - and sorry for being so long-winded.
I can't mash anything over about 12-13 lbs because of the water volumes.
The Belgian Dark I just brewed was 1.100 but that was due to the addition of 1 lbs. of corn sugar and 2 lbs. of candi syrup.
For me to brew a beer that big getting the sugars from malt only would require me to do partial mash.
I have considered getting the larger kettle because I want to do some larger beers without having to use malt extract.
I was able to brew a BIAB Russian Imperial Stout, 6 gallon batch, in a 15 gallon pot, with 26 lbs. of grain and 12 gallons of water. That was the absolute limit.
If I do get the opportunity to build out an e-BIAB system, I will likely go with a 20 gallon kettle to be able to do some 10 gallon batches. I figure that with that I could fairly easily mash 25 lbs. of grain with full water volume.
