While The Cat's Away, Bill Clinton Comes Out To Play
By AiPolitics on May 25, 2012 in In The News, Opinion
From the "news we simply cannot make up" department, Bill Clinton recently posed in Monaco with two porn stars. But not just any two porn stars. As luck would have it, one of them (the one on the right) had recently won sex industry awards for: "Best New Starlet" and two other awards that aren't fit to print here. (even their their titles are graphic)
As you can see, it's all fun and games for America's most recently impeached president.

Banished is a game about a band of settlers who build a new community. The player makes all executive and societal decisions for the settlers, but does not have a physical presence in the community. The player is free to imagine handing down divine orders, possessing the minds of elected officials, or whatever fantasy the player finds thrilling. These orders include things like, "Build a house over yonder!", "Chop down those trees!", "Trade all those coats for some chickens!" or administrative tasks like defining how many workers are assigned to a particular job.
Citizens are individuals that will eventually carry out your orders in a manner that evokes memories of Dwarf Fortress. They however, lack the personality and individuality of the dwarves. I never found myself caring about any individuals or feeling any loss when my citizens died horrible deaths due to my mismanagement of their short, brutal lives. They basically do whatever job you assign them to and have health and happiness ratings based on how much medicine and luxury goods are available. Then they fill cemeteries for a time, when inexplicably graves clear up for newer corpses. Long term respect for the dead is not a feature of these horrible people.
To the best of my knowledge, the game was developed by a single individual (Except for the music). Based on that fact, Banished is a tremendous achievement. Graphically it far exceeds what is to be expected from an indie game. There is a great deal of content to explore. I believe the the author created the type of brutal experience that he intended to.
The emphasis of the game is survival. The city building aspects are important, but not the game's strength. Elaborating further I believe consists of delivering spoilers. Often games balance two different paths to mastery, a combination of learning the game and how the rules and options affect your outcome, and mastering the game through repeated play. I believe this game leans very far towards the former, so the main enjoyment of the game is figuring out how it works as a path to getting that successful colony. Once the rules are explored, I think this game will not be revisited often.
At about $20, this game should provide entertainment for less than a dollar an hour, is fun but not enduring like a Civilization, Sim City, or Dwarf Fortress.
Now the Spoilers:
After playing through the tutorials I thought I had the basic idea of how to survive. Fishing and hunting did not get it done, my people all starved to death soon after settling. I found this baffling but started a second game.
My second game was more successful than my first, but not keeping up an adequate supply of firewood caused everyone to freeze to death on a particularly cold winter night. Managing the supplies of everything becomes the player's main responsibility. If you define too many building projects too quickly, you will end up drained of resources without anything to show for it. Let's say you have a decent amount of wood but not enough stone. You place plans for a number of buildings that require both. Laborers will bring all that wood to those sites and the wood will be locked up there. They won't finish because there's no stone. You've now essentially drained your wood supplies and interrupted an important supply chain. Wood goes to the woodcutter to make firewood, the firewood then gets picked up by citizens to be brought to their houses. People seem to require quite a bit of firewood.
My third game I felt that I was ready. I planned everything out, was careful about my supply chains, had tons of agriculture, built slowly and carefully. My colony grew but I was never able to really get ahead. I didn't have huge excesses to trade, which feels like a key component. I was able to get some chickens, but a bout of bird flu or some such random event killed my chickens before I could complete a new pen for them. This lead to the first a few famines I suffered. I learned that the citizens of Banished are assholes. Let's say the hunters kill a deer, and that provides 100 steaks (this is simplified for the example). Now note that we have 100 starving people that I'm trying to save. Do you think the people work together and each have a delicious venison steak? Of course not. One asshole takes all the steaks and brings them to his basement. His family eats them all in like a week and everyone else dies.
I bounced back from a few of these famines and eventually stabilized my food supply. It's pretty easy to do once you kill off all those hungry mouths. The society in Banished is a bit Anarchy/Communism. There's no money, everyone just kinda works if they feel like and takes what they want from the supply. They do stupid things like choose houses at the furthest possible point from where they have to go to work each day, then waste effort walking most of the day away.
The way to have a successful colony is efficient workers. Producing more food with less farmers and hunters allows you to focus your efforts on other things. Ways to ensure productivity include having enough tools and education. Education is a sacrifice because you will need to have teachers, who only contribute to educating citizens, and the actual students spend some of their prime working years in school. When you first build a school it will slow down new members of your workforce and you'll need to survive and slow expansion. Tools require enough iron, wood, and coal, and enough blacksmiths to work those resources that meet or exceed the rate of tools failing. This leads to the bane of colony number 3: insufficient tools.
I traded away a large number of tools for some cabbage seed. I figured my citizens were tired of eating potatoes and some cabbage would really hit the spot. At about the same time, some nomads wanted to settle. I agreed, happy to rebuild the population after all those famines. Well, we needed more housing as our current houses were mostly filled. Building houses interrupted my supply chain to the blacksmiths. We had gone from a surplus of tools to a crisis due to the trade and immigration. The nomads brought Swine Flu with them as well, adding a new mound of shit for me to deal with. Things spiraled quickly out of control. Food ran low with all the new citizens eating everything in sight (and hoarding). Farmers were ineffective without proper tools and food rotted in the fields as people starved. Miners dug out iron with their bare, bloody hands, or bloody stumps at this point as effectively as they could, but they couldn't get enough iron to create tools near a fast enough rate to replace the broken ones. Miners were soon reassigned to farming duty to attempt to feed the populous. If they weren't starving at this point they were freezing, the population has fallen but numerous houses were single occupied, all requiring firewood to heat their lonely existences.
Basically, "Everyone died, the end. Wasn't that fun?" No, not really Banished, losing wasn't fun.

very beautiful house and room
Good breakfast - Jérôme
The apartment was beautiful, characterful, and well-kept. Terrace with shared pool had a lovely view. Electric blanket came in very useful in January!
Be aware that some of these apartments have separate bedrooms reached via outside stairs - you may need a torch at night.
You also need to bring some food/get some on the ferry if arriving in evening/sunday as the lighthouse supermarket often has short hours. - Anonymous
Superb location on laid back Med. island.
Clean and staff v. helpful.
Walk out the front door and straight into the immaculately clean harbor to swim.
Walk the surrounding cliffs in the early morning. Unreal. - Anonymous

As the days become shorter and the air cools down, I find myself nostalgic for the rural western Massachusetts town I once called home.

Luckily, there's the R Bar, with its backwoods drink prices ($3 Buds and $2 pints of Molson Canadian all the time), a group of regulars who have little in common but a desire to knock a few back, and no-bullshit decora couple of TVs, pool table, dartboard, and the greatest video game ever invented, Big Buck Hunter II. I've never cared much for real animal killing, despite my hick upbringing, but I do miss the sound of shotguns fired in the woods during deer hunting season. So it's comforting to take a few out on the giant screen (without having to hack up a carcass) while Ozzy, Metallica, and old Van Halen blast through the jukebox. But the biggest draw here is bartender-owner Greg, who has a cool, older-brother quality about himthe kind of guy who cranked Iron Maiden from his Camaro, showed you your first porn mag, and reluctantly bought you and your 15-year-old friends beer, but always said, "Just don't be fuckin' stupid about it!" Yeah, fuck the four-hour bus rideI know where I'm going for Thanksgiving this year.

attractive way to store away things. The bins are a decent size, although not meant for anything heavy. Looks great in my son's new room
This storage unit is great for my purposes. I even ordered a second one. The unit was simple to assemble and the fabric is sturdy and holds a fair amount of weight. I love the chevron pattern. This unit also folds up easily and compactly so when I need to move it I can effortlessly. Great purchase for me!
I received the storage system that was total different design! Very upset about this. The drawers will fall if a lot of things are placed inside of them.
I bought this for my daughter,s bedroom the only thing u can put in this is only lingerie tats it , it looks like they made this wit paper I just love the looks but not the quality:(
These are smaller than you think -- but excellent to store all kinds of items. I use for antique shoe collection -- but can only fit 2 pairs per drawer -- all work! Darling for a dorm room for storage -- but again -- smaller than you think. Please measure. Worked wonderful for my purpose.
Bought two of these for my son's room. They are compact and sturdy enough - they won't be moved around a lot. He put them together without requesting any help from me so that was a plus. They look very nice and stylish in his room and are the perfect size since his room is a little on the small side. The drawers glide in and out effortlessly - both he and I are very pleased with this product.
Worked great for granddaughter trying to organize the overwhelming clutter in her room. She loved them. Glad I went ahead and bought two. Great that they fold up. She can move them easily, store them, reconfigure them with something across the top for added storage or workspace.

November 27, 2014
Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Friday, July 23, 2010
Dozens of immigrants gathered at Century II this morning, flanked by friends and loved ones, as they took the oath to become U.S. citizens.
Today's naturalization ceremony gave U.S. citizenship to an estimated 175 people from 34 countries. For many in the crowd, is the final chapter in a what has been a life-long dream.
"I'm very happy," said Arnoldo Gonzalez after the ceremony. "I'm happy for my family, my children. Just very happy."
Gonzalez says he's spent the last ten years working to become a U.S. citizen.
It was a similar story for Mexico-born Luis Gomez, whose parents brought him to the U.S. when he was only six months old. Now in his 30s, he says he's been working for almost 20 years to become a citizen.
"I remember starting when I was about eight," he told KAKE News.
Immigrants applying for U.S. citizenship must learn all about the country's history in a series of classes that culminate in an extensive test. Many are required to hold permanent resident status for five years before they can be eligible to apply.
"The test is hard," said Abel Schoeman, 20, who came to the United States as a child from South Africa.
After Friday's ceremony, voter registration forms were made available to new citizens. Dozens filled them out before leaving Century II, and say they plan to vote in the upcoming elections.
Countries from which the applicants immigrated from include El Salvador, Albania, Mexico, Vietnam, Palestine, Nigeria, Taiwan, Lebanon, Kenya, Ukraine, Guatemala, India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Shri Lanka, Malaysia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Togo, Somalia, South Africa, Honduras, China, Burma, Cypress, Malawi, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Iraq, Canada, Laos, Argentina, Germany and Syria.

"Worth reading"
I often wonder what it's like coming into a series mid-way and this book is set within the Coyote Universe. I probably missed a number of nuances but I wasn't confused. I suspect the backplot blew some of the storyline from Book1 but I'll probably read that sometime, too.
I found this book to have a 'medium' pace with enough sub-plots and fractious characters. (Kind of like Dr. Smith on Lost in Space).
I found the final chapters odd; the characters seemed to become completely difficult and argumentative and rude or petty. It didn't detract from the overall story, it just didn't seem reasonable.
"Detailed character and story development"
I can't usually slow down enough for the super-detailed plot/character development novels (e.g. Wheel of Time) but I found this one to be Ok. The story is certainly told in a measured pace but it constantly (perhaps inexorably) moves forward and you receive a lot of background along the way.
Character actions and entirely consistent with their beliefs and they don't ever seem to do something unnatural, just to move to plot in a certain direction.
I see that others didn't like the narrator. Hmm, well she certainly narrates a measure tale in an ever more measured and deliberate style but I found she seemed to compliment the writing. I thought she did a great job of giving the characters personality and individuality, so I was happy with her.
"Interesting but too slow"
The overall story is interesting, with intriguing alien concepts. But I found the story progressed far too slowly for me; I remember my disappointment when I finally got to the end, only to discover "You have only come to the end of a part, but not the end of the entire book" What? Oh no...
Towards the end, I was definitely tiring of the frustrating tendency for the characters to decide on a course of action and then spend time debating the merits of that course. But wait, they already committed to this action, so why discuss it? I also read "Ship of Magic" recently which is even more detailed but doesn't feel slow because it is constantly progressing the plot.
The Dr. Zachary Smith type of character is often a required foil for the smart people to play against, but I've never been a fan of annoying people who can misunderstand any given situation.
Many of the side-plot narrations seemed to have little purpose in the overall story arc, other than to show other things that were going on.
The narration was generally fine but I found the frequent and rushed "I'm sorry" grew tedious.
Overall, I guess I'm glad that I read it.
"Another superb Destroyermen novel"
This series is great and somehow just keeps getting even better.
The characters are exceptionally interesting and I just like hearing what they have been up to. The overall story arc is great and the individual stories are fascinating. I wish all novels could be this engaging!
I'm amused to see that other reviewers say how both Destroyermen and Lost Fleet are their favorite series; I thought it was just me. I have even built a model of the USS Walker, which is my first model in over ten years.
William Dufris is a great narrator and shines with his work in this series.
Another great novel in the Lost Fleet universe!
It has the known structure of well-written fleet engagements but I found myself continually surprised how the author finds entirely new things (e.g. the new aliens) to explore. I'm confused by the reviewers who call it formulaic when I found it anything but.
I love how the aliens all think differently, with distinct cultures -- and then act consistently within that culture. I'm pleased to say that I figured out the DT and it was highly amusing.
Can't wait to read the next book in the series.
I like how it's two books in one and figuring out how the fantasy story relates to the "outside" SciFi story.
The characters are interesting and likable. Enough good and bad things happen to them that they are believable and engaging.
The author must be from Britain and it's amusing to see the number of (probably unintentional) quaint references when these characters in the far future do something that's common there but not elsewhere. Their many cups of tea being only the most obvious.
The variations on "one body, one consciousness" are very clever and really make the reader think. Well done!
"Just amazing!"
I *really* enjoyed this book! I found the story interesting and told in an engaging way.
I liked the characters and I loved the touches of humor (when the alien first tastes the MS) and the many oblique SciFi references.
I look forward to the next one in the series.
"Kept my interest!"
The similarities between this book and the Destroyermen series are just amazing! I'm sure neither author was aware of the other, but the number of congruent plot details is quite fun to note.
I found this book was fun to listen to as a stand-alone series, but I found myself wishing that I was listening to the next book in the Destroyermen series, instead. (Which isn't really fair to Rally Cry as I prefer the WWII era).
I think that if you're into the Civil War era and SciFi/Fantasy, then you would like this book.
I'll probably get the next book in the series, sometime.
The bad people (which is most people) seemed too cliche and callous. Some of the plot devices were too contrived (someone keeps a loaded flame thrower on his wall?) Maybe it gets better in the second half but I gave up mid-way.
"Why use one word when ten will do?"
Author: Never again.
Narrators: Sure.
I tried this book because a friend said it has received wide acclaim. I thought the basic idea was interesting but the glacial slowness was just too frustrating. I listened to twenty hours before deciding that I couldn't stand the lack of progress any longer.
The trivial minutae receive so much detail and, worst of all, repetition (usually about four times, as if the author thinks the reader wasn't paying attention). It's like following alongside someone on their regular day; most of what happens just isn't worth reporting.
I specifically wanted a long book, but I had expected it to make plot progress. This should be a seven hour book; it doesn't have enough content to warrant being any longer.

Management was willing to do whatever it took to fix the problem (over-cooked steaks) which was nice but sounded rehearsed. Would I go back? Yes. Would I consider the same meals? Probably not. The 200+ craft beers and 50+ whiskeys have my attention though ... and that I would expect to be a great tasting experience beyond what I have already tried.Special Features:

First time at Jack's .. we all liked the food, the only complaint was the my BIL's trout dinner was over cooked. The ladies like their ribs and I the shrimp and angle hair past dish. The calamari was excellent maybe the best I have ever tasted. Escargot and mushrooms appetizer was also very good. It was too cold to be outside but it is worth a try. I had a green apple flavor craft beer, which I found had lots of green apple flavor quite sweet for a beer. Overall I think that we will try Jack's again. ( the Menu is limited, but acceptable.) . Enjoy.Special Features:
- Not that great1standlastDined on 5/2/2014The food was okay we have had better. Beer selection was outstanding esp. being able to enjoy the sampler paddle and taste a variety of beer. There were a few of us drinking 40 Creek and were not told until several drinks later that the bar has 40 Creek 'Copper Pot' which would have been our first choice. So we all ordered one and 15 minutes later waitress came back and said that the bar didn't have any...a bit disappointing. We all felt that the drinks were watered down because for the amount we drank we were all relatively sober, especially after having several Martini's which tasted like fruit juice (even with the Friday Martini special). Took way to long to settle up our bills at the end of the night, and we were the only ones in there.Special Features:
- Food across the board goodbebitongVIPDined on 5/2/2014We have been living in the neighborhood for almost 20 years and drove by this restaurant for quite a while now. Finally, with Opentable recommendation, we went in last week for the first time. It was Friday evening and the restaurant was busy! Our part of five adults, we all ordered different dishes, and glad to say we are all very please with what we have. The ribs were done very well, the steak was done medium rare as requested. Only the steak sandwich was over cooked a bit. The sharing appetizer is a good start! The fish taco was delicious. The service was efficient but our server seemed tired and exhausted, not overtly friendly.Special Features:
- Great beer and foodImmanuelDined on 5/2/2014We had a group get together for food and drinks at the Rib Eye Jack's in Streetsville for the first time. It turned out to be an excellenet choice. The steaks and beers were outstanding.Special Features:
- Don't go for the foodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/28/2014The food was underwhelming at best. My wife had a salmon filet overcooked to the point of being dry and crunchy. My filet mignon was rare instead of medium-rare. Service was slow. Surprising, since we mentioned to our server that we were thinking of bringing a large group there for a birthday party. We thought that they would want our business. On the plus side, the restaurant was very clean, no lingering odours and they have an incredible selection of craft beers. The scotch and whiskey selection was pretty good too.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/26/2014Food was excellent, waiter was great but service was very slow!Special Features:
- Enjoyed the Dinner!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/25/2014Enjoyed our stay at Rib Eye Jack..great meal, to end the week. Will be coming there again. Excellent Service!Special Features:

- Cannot wait to go back...EskayDined on 4/16/2014This was our first visit. We WILL be back. Our food was incredible (and plentiful), and every dish that we saw delivered to surrounding tables looked equally delicious. Our waiter (Brian) was attentive and fun. They have an impressive craft beer list. This neighbourhood was wanting for a place like this. Hooray.Special Features:
- talexVIPDined on 4/15/2014service was very slow, we have been several times, and this is the worst it has been. Our waitress seemed to have alot more tables than the other servers and she was swamped at times.Special Features:

The iconic image of the little mission in San Antonio where a band of brave Texans died fighting an overwhelming Mexican army 177 years ago has long been a symbol of liberty, independence and self-determination.The Alamo, Texas' No. 1 tourist attraction, on perhaps the state's most hallowed ground, over the years has resisted being politicized, its custodians banning protests and demonstrations on the state-owned land. Such rallies usually were relegated to the nearby city-owned Alamo Plaza.That will change Saturday when hundreds of rifle- and shotgun-toting gun enthusiasts converge on the grounds in a "Come and Take It San Antonio!" rally protesting the city's ordinance that prohibits firearms at political rallies or in public parks. Some of the pro-gun organizers are also supporting three men recently arrested while carrying rifles outside a coffee emporium.Permission for this rally, where Texans are being urged to show up with their long guns in clear view, was granted by the Texas General Land Office, which took control of the four-acre historical site in 2011. Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, a pro-gun advocate who as a legislator sponsored the state's concealed handgun law, will be the keynote speaker at the event.Patterson, a candidate for lieutenant governor, released a proposed opinion column for Saturday publication that said, "The main goal of today's rally at the Alamo is simple: The peaceful exercise of a right we fear losing. It is legal, after all, to carry a long gun in Texas. Despite that fact, there are those who would claim otherwise under color of law. Today's demonstration is expression of that right, plain and simple."He went on to say, "The fact that many Texans only feel comfortable with police carrying guns isn't normal, historically speaking. Armed citizens shouldn't be alarming in a free society."The fact is Texans do have a right to be alarmed over this planned demonstration and Patterson's encouragement of people to come bearing arms at the Alamo for whatever purpose. It should not be "normal."This newspaper has praised the land commissioner in recent months for his stewardship of this sacred place, to which he has brought even more attention through unique exhibits and much more interaction with the public.But this latest event smells of a cheap political stunt that is unworthy of Patterson, distasteful to many Texans and frankly disrespectful to the memory of those who died at the Alamo during the siege of 1836.When Texans "remember the Alamo," that memory should not include this undignified public insult.
