Foreign relations of Panama
This article is part of a series on the politics and government of Panama |
Panama is a member of the UN General Assembly (and most major UN agencies) and has served three terms in the UN Security Council. In November 2006 it was elected to serve a two year term on the Security Council, beginning January 1, 2007. It maintains membership in several international financial institutions, including the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the International Monetary Fund.
Panama is a member of the Organization of American States and was a founding member of the Rio Group. Although it was suspended from the Latin American Economic System — known informally both as the Group of Eight and the Rio Group — in 1988 due to its internal political system under Manuel Noriega, Panama was readmitted in September 1994 as an acknowledgment of its present democratic credentials.
Panama also is one of the founding members of the Union of Banana Exporting Countries and belongs to the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission. Panama is a member of the Central American Parliament (PARLACEN) as well as the Central American Integration System (SICA). Panama joined its six Central American neighbors at the 1994 Summit of the Americas in signing the Alliance for Sustainable Development known as the Conjunta Centroamerica-USA or CONCAUSA to promote sustainable economic development in the region.
Panama is also a member of the International Criminal Court with a Bilateral Immunity Agreement of protection for the US-military (as covered under Article 98).
Bilateral relations[edit]

Canada | See Canada–Panama relations | |
Republic of China |
Panama established the diplomatic relationship with Qing Dynasty in 1909. After Xinhai Revolution, Panama recognized the establishment of the Republic of China (ROC), and has remained the diplomatic ties with ROC until now. In 2009 after President Ricardo Martinelli took office, Panama wished to switch diplomatic relation from ROC to the People's Republic of China (PRC), but was rejected by the PRC government to maintain the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. Martinelli reaffirmed its commitment to Taiwan in the diplomatic arena, clearing doubts he could establish official ties with China; also he thanked Taiwanese cooperation and expressed the hope that cooperation and investments intensify. "Panama reaffirms its determination to strengthen diplomatic ties with Taiwan, as well as strengthen trade ties with the People's China," said Foreign Minister Juan Carlos Varela, at a meeting in the Council Taiwan Affairs Chinese.[3] |
India | See India–Panama relations
Panama is the first country in Central America where India established a resident embassy in 1973. Bilateral commercial and trade relations are steadily growing between India and Panama, with Panama seen as the gateway for expansion into Latin America. [4] |
Kosovo |
Panama officially recognised the independence of the Republic of Kosovo on 16 January 2009.[5] Kosovo and Panama established diplomatic relations on 27 August 2013, following the establishment of diplomatic relations Kosovo announced it would be opening an Embassy in Panama and that this Embassy would be Kosovo's 'gateway to Latin America'.[6] |
Mexico | 1 March 1904 | See Mexico–Panama relations
Russia | See Panama–Russia relations | |
Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic | See Panama–Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic relations
Panama was the first Latin American country on recognizing the SADR in 1978, during the Omar Torrijos presidency.[11] Panama also has the oldest Sahrawi embassy in Latin America. Relations are suspended from 20 November 2013. |
Spain | 1903 |
United States | 1903 | See Panama–United States relations
The United States cooperates with the Panamanian government in promoting economic, political, security, and social development through U.S. and international agencies. Cultural ties between the two countries are strong, and many Panamanians go to the United States for higher education and advanced training. In 2007, the U.S. and Panama partnered to launch a regional health worker training center. The center provides training to community healthcare workers in Panama and throughout Central America. About 25,000 American citizens reside in Panama, many retirees from the Panama Canal Commission and individuals who hold dual nationality. There is also a rapidly growing enclave of American retirees in the Chiriqui Province in western Panama.

August 1, 1999, 12:00 AM
By Charles Bowden
The day always begins with the left arm. The clock reads 5:30 or 6:00 a.m. The plaque next to the bed always whispers the same thing: i was given life, that i might enjoy all things. That is it, the glowing numbers announcing the time, the velvet darkness, and then, with the light switched on, the line whispering off the plaque. The body sits up and--this is the hard part to state, because here the words fail--the left arm of the body grabs the left arm of the waiting chair. The body leans forward and begins to arc through the air, and as the body arcs, it is poised over the left arm of the chair, and then it twirls and turns a full 180 degrees and settles into the seat of the chair. Of course, all these words fall short because, while they describe the discrete steps that make up an act, they are like words about a ballet that can never capture the dance. What really happens is that the body moves in one fluid motion, begins in the bed and winds up in the chair, and there is nothing between the two points but a blur. No matter how often the eye tracks this act, it fails to see what it knows must be happening.
Now the workday begins, and the first part of the day is always the hardest part. Not the movement from the bed to the chair. No, not that. The hard part is the motivation. The body can do the work, but first a fire must be lit in the soul. This requires three entire hours--relentless, grueling hours. First prayer, and then exercise. Working the soul, and what remains of the muscle. This part cannot be slighted or the blackness will take over, and then the reel begins playing in the mind, that hideous tape that nothing seems to erase or edit or alter, the tape that zooms in and out of scenes so swiftly the body feels vertigo, and the eye focuses in disbelief on a pin, a small metal grenade pin, and the entire universe--yes, all of it--wrenches to a halt to consider one simple question: Is that pin straight, or is that pin bent? For thirty-one years, since that day the body almost died, the universe has considered this one question.
The workday begins because there has to be a reason for the left arm or there is nothing at all. In three hours, if attention is paid, if that fire is lit in the soul, the body becomes something else, something rare: It becomes Max Cleland, freshman Democrat of Georgia, the lone four-foot-tall, legless, one-armed member of the United States Senate.
So let the workday begin. It is a matter of life and death.
I stood on the edge of our bomb crater, that had been my home for five days and five nights, stretched out my six-foot, two-inch frame, and was caught up in excitement. The battle for Khe Sanh was over and I had come out of it unhurt and alive!
MEDITATION FLOODS THE MORNING HOURS. IT IS the drug Max Cleland craves. The desk in his Senate office is scattered with biblical quotes and other writings. "I need every bit of motivation I can possibly get," Cleland offers by way of explanation. An old hymn sings out, how firm a foundation, ye saints of the lord, / is laid by your faith in his excellent works. A block of type insists, if it is to be / it is up to me. Then there is Tennyson's Ulysses, a bit of Psalms, some Jeremiah, a taste of Ephesians, and a brass clock engraved, take it to the max. The faith of Max Cleland is not so much the fervor and bright eyes of the born-again Christian as the steady prayer of the man staving off death. He is the mutilated man insisting his wounds will never stop him from being whole. So for at least half an hour after awaking, Max Cleland reads the Bible and other inspirational literature. And he prays. He enters a continuum in his morning of rebuilding. The prayer and readings. Then the exercises, stretching techniques taught him by David Prowse, the bodybuilder hidden within the Darth Vader costume in the early Star Wars movies. A slant board has a strap for his stumps, and Cleland cranks out sit-ups and uses weights--fifty pounds for his good arm, twenty for the stump. Using his stump and elbow, he does two hundred push-ups. Then a series of moves to maintain mobility in his joints and to correct the imbalance of strength between his left arm and his right stump. He arranges a series of cushions across the living-room floor and walks on his stumps back and forth. He is now up to thirty-two laps. And this is tough. "It's not like you pick up a foot--it's like walking through sand." Then he makes his morning phone call to his parents, now in their eighties.
After that, he showers and dresses. First the shirt must go on the left arm and be buttoned, then the right sleeve must be properly folded over the stump, the front buttoned. The necktie is never undone but left hanging in a loop so that it may be simply slipped over. When he was first injured, a friend from Georgia came to see him in the hospital, and Max was warm and enthusiastic and told his friend how he was going to go home and be in politics, that this being blown up was not going to stop him. And after the visit, the friend buttonholed a doctor in the hall and asked, realistically, what was life going to be like for Max Cleland. And the doctor paused and said, Do you really want to know? Look, if he gets up in the morning and puts on his shirt, that will tire him for the whole day.
After the workout and the phone call and the shower and the dressing come the vitamins. There is no food. Max Cleland does not cook, and the apartment is hardly home. Everything in it is rented--the furniture, the dishes, the flatware, everything. The apartment has no television. He can't bear to watch TV after a day at the Senate. "My apartment," he offers, "is really a staging area."
Cleland can drive. But for work, a staffer arrives downstairs; Cleland gets into the car, and during the twenty-minute drive he inhales The New York Times. The driver pulls into the garage and parks next to Jesse Helms, a man Cleland met during his first day in the Senate and disagrees with on almost every issue and likes enormously. It is Bob Kerrey, the other Vietnam amputee, from Nebraska, who is Cleland's blood brother and the fellow who prodded him into the Senate race. Cleland rolls up to the office, races through the news clips from Georgia, and has two eggs and some water. It is a truism among the community of the severely injured that life expectancy is somewhere in the mid-fifties. Cleland is fifty-six. He is on a high-protein diet and has lost sixty pounds in two years.
Now he is ready, he is the politician, the man who as he rolled down the hallway to his office saw a janitor and gave him a thumbs-up--Cleland seems to know every guard and janitor by name. And the pol knows what he needs: "I feed off people--that gives me the energy. The worst thing you can do to me is put me in a corner and leave me alone. The air goes out of the balloon."
Max Cleland constantly seeks air.
"If you want to do this thing," he explains, "it is a virtual crusade. This is my ministry."
I had scored a personal victory over myself and my fears... As Stephen Crane states in his great book on war, The Red Badge of Courage, "I went to face the Great Death and found it was only the Great Death."
. . . In another month I'd be going home. . . .
Oh, Captain Cleland.-.-.-.-The battalion needs a better radio hookup. . . .
With two men, I pulled together some antennas and a generator and some radios and loaded them on a chopper. . . . The helicopter lifted off.
HE GOES HOME EVERY OTHER WEEKEND. MAX CLELAND IS A small-town boy, the high school athlete, the kid who volunteered for Vietnam because, he explains, "I didn't want to miss the war of my generation." He also caught the Washington bug back then when he first did some college in the capital and then interned for a congressman. But the key thing for Cleland was meeting Senator Richard Russell of Georgia, the dean of the chamber, the brilliant man trapped and in some ways maimed by his defense of a segregated world. In the rotunda of the Russell Senate Office Building, there is now a statue of Russell, and that is where Cleland immediately drags a visitor. "So much of me is tied up in Dick Russell," he explains.
Back in the summer of 1965, when Cleland was interning on the Hill just before his hitch in the army, Russell called a meeting of young southern congressional staffers because polls showed he was out of touch with such voters. And Cleland has a picture on his wall from that day. When he came back to see Russell several years later, he was still a kid, but with no legs and one arm. Cleland wanted to "show off" his recovery, to demonstrate that he could now move. Russell was an old man dying of emphysema, and the young captain watched as the old senator took a minute and a half to cross the floor of his office. Russell talked to Cleland for a while and then called for his limo and told the driver to show this young soldier the sights of Washington. Russell also gave him some advice: "Take the job seriously, not yourself."
Now Cleland works at Russell's old desk, which he had fetched out of government storage. He uses Russell's old phone number. And this morning, Cleland thinks of Dick Russell. The air war is raging over Kosovo: In the first twenty days, two thousand sorties have been flown, and in the next two weeks, two thousand more will be flung at Serb targets. Cleland is one of six Vietnam veterans in the Senate and one of two who came back maimed. So this morning, he got up at 4:00 a.m. and sat down and wrote. He has been in the Senate for three years and spoken on the floor maybe a half dozen times. And when he has talked, it has been on stuff like campaign-finance reform or the balanced-budget amendment, things Cleland calls "issues." Kosovo is more than an issue to Cleland--it is war, and in war, decisions get people killed. He is not a pacifist; he is still at heart that army captain, the trained warrior. But he is not bombast, either.

Hi Folks,
Just a heads up regarding Season 8 playoffs. It looks like we are going to have approximately 400 teams signed up for highlander this season. The league is growing like crazy which is a good thing but it does require us to set some limits because we do not have all the time in the world. One of those limits will be on playoffs.
Starting this season, only the top 16 teams per division will make it to playoffs. For steel league only, the top 8 teams in Steel Red will face off against the top 8 teams in Steel Blue. We can only do 16 team playoffs in order for games to be done in 4 weeks. In the past we made playoff brackets to include every team but its to the point now where we would need 25 brackets and it's simply too much work for us.
We will have a specific prize update later.

A new report by Frost & Sullivan says that while the medical device industry is one of the most vital and dynamic sectors of the European economy, it is constantly driven by R&D. "Innovative and cost-effective products are likely to constitute the key elements of success in the future," the report said. "The extent to which European producers continue to compete depends on their willingness to engage in product differentiation, increased R&D expenditure and a coordinated research and development policy with governing authorities." The report found that the major competitors to European medical device manufacturers are traditionally from the United States and Japan. However, European manufacturers have a strong position in Europe, where approximately 78% of the products sold are manufactured within the EU. The report also noted that most medical device companies reported positive domestic and international sales growth and continued optimism about prospects for the industry in 2009. Manufacturers are also capable of quickly adapting to market trends and able to achieve greater profit margins. Emerging markets in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America constituted areas of potential growth.

Stephen B. Baker, MD, FACS, Georgetown University Hospital plastic surgeon gives SkinInc.com exclusive insight into why male patients are beginning to shirk the stigma and seek out appearance improvement.
"I think if you break it down, there was a huge stigma for men and cosmetic surgery. There are a number of things that have happened. First of all, the openness of cosmetic procedures in the media. TV and radio. All publicity is publicity, whether it's good or bad. Even if you would take the show that plastic surgeons would cringe about, it is out there and the more exposure men get to it, the initial hesitation goes away. Also, there is the advent of the metrosexual man. When I grew up, no straight guy used anything on the skin and now there are plenty of male products. There is a global acceptance.
"Also, the baby boomers are into making themselves look as good as they feel. You have a larger population hitting the age that is common for candidates of plastic surgery. This is more of a self-absorbed generation. It's very much about them, and they want to look good. People are staying healthier longer, and time waits for no man or woman, so the affects of age are still hitting them.

2 It is like the precious anointing oil running down from Aaron's head and beard, down to the collar of his robes. | 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. |
3 It is like the dew on Mount Hermon, falling on the hills of Zion. That is where the Lord has promised his blessing - life that never ends. | 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. |

Corpus Christi man sentenced to 30 years for aiding in September aggravated robbery at Wal-Mart
CORPUS CHRISTI - A Corpus Christi man was sentenced to 30 years in prison Wednesday for participating in an aggravated robbery last year.
Jorge Calleros, 38, was sentenced in 347th State District Judge Missy Medary's court for stealing televisions on Sept. 27. He received 30 years after an open plea for the aggravated robbery charge and 20 years on a separate robbery charge from May. The sentences will run at the same time.
Officers were called about 10:15 p.m. Sept. 27 to Wal-Mart in the 3800 block of U.S. Highway 77 after an employee tried to a stop a man pushing a cart with two televisions. The employee asked to see Calleros' receipt and he flashed a pistol in his waistband, police said.
Calleros loaded the televisions into a silver SUV and the pair fled, but not before customers wrote down their license plate, police said.
Officers tracked down the vehicle's owner to a Westside home in the 400 block of Dixon Drive where police found Calleros. Inside the home officers found an airsoft BB pistol and discarded security tabs from merchandise. The televisions were not found, police said.
Calleros was arrested on suspicion of aggravated robbery, failure to identify himself and an outstanding robbery warrant. He has seven convictions dating back to 2008, including assault, theft and drug possession, according to online court records.

A few days ago, 34-year-old jailer Jayme Biendl went missing while on the night shift at the Monroe Correctional Complex northeast of Seattle. Jayme was a reasonably attractive woman with blonde hair and 5'3″ tall. She had been working alone in the prison chapel.
Before Biendl went missing, Byron Scherf, who was serving a life sentence for first degree rape and kidnapping, missed a routine count and was found in the chapel lobby. Scherf is an an example of a real rapist — the kind who would stalk women and ambush them, using force and coercion to obtain sex. He was also a multiple offender, hence the life sentence. In one instance, he doused a woman with lighter fluid and set her on fire.
Biendl was found some time later, strangled with her own radio microphone cord. It is still unclear whether Scherf actually raped her, but recent reports suggest he was found pants-down with scratch and bite marks on his body. Obviously, that was the idea.
The story has been fodder for talk radio, with the usual calls for castration of rapists, condemnation of corrections officials, and blame for everyone but one of the most obvious culprits besides the criminal himself. Despite the huge prison industrial complex in the US, the incarceration of people for any and everything possible, and the "lock 'em up" attitude that has prevailed for at least a generation now, the blowhards on the radio have been falling back on the same old line that we are "too soft" on prisoners, and the solution is castration and even more draconian measures to protect innocent victims like Jayme.
Seems these fellows yelling on air are missing something fairly obvious. What the hell was a young woman, and a small one at that, doing working as a prison guard with the state's most violent offenders?
Who thought it would be a good idea to put a little lady in close contact with brutal murderers and rapists?
Probably not the Washington State Department of Corrections, but if they had said women weren't right for the job, it would have triggered a lawsuit, so little Jayme Biendl was hired, given her size small uniform, a can of pepper spray and a radio and sent out to work amongst the most dangerous men in Washington State. What could possibly go wrong here?
Of course, everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room. The Dept. of Corrections is being blamed for allowing her to be alone, but that's standard for the male guards, and due to budget cuts they can't afford to give a guard a personal escort at all times. So a lot of guards find themselves on their own much of time. Male or female. Turns out Biendl was the third woman to be attacked at the facility in the last six months. Although plenty of people might want to blame men in general for this "surprising" trend of women being attacked in prison, one wonders what their point is, because many of these guys were sent to prison in the first place to protect women. Yet women continue to insist that they be given the privilege of working in close proximity with them, and the idiots in state government indulge them.
That Biendl was murdered obviously wasn't her fault any more than it's a fisherman's fault when he slips off the deck and drowns. But being a woman working with violent felons is kind of like being a fishermen working on deck in tap shoes — you're tempting fate. And the state of Washington, in encouraging and allowing this, is entirely complicit in her death. Feminists and their enablers are also complicit. If the superintendent of the Monroe facility banned women from working with these inmates, he'd be denounced and subsequently fired. But that would be the reasonable, humane thing to do. We are living in a society that would rather see people die than admit the truth, and that's pretty sick.
How many more people will die because of this lunacy?

My gaming buddies and I have never been happy with the Imperial strategy card, not even the two new offers in the expansion. None of the alternatives seems right - victory points and objectives should be seperated from the strategy cards in my eyes to avoid game-breaking and possible balance issues (I know many won't agree, and I indeed see the interest in having the imperial strategy card allow you to complete several objectives, but that's only good for the later stages of the game). We play with a mix of the old and new strategy cards and we really feel the best thing was to add another sort of resource - another thing you can buy/hoard, like technology,trade, tokens, and so on.
I came up with the idea of some changes to the leaders add on and tying it with the ISC. Here is my alternative rule:
ICS, main objective:
You may recruit one of your leaders from your reinforcement and place it on any one of your planets that has a space dock. You may spend six influence to recruit yet another additional leader. You may place this second leader in the same planet or any other planet with a space dock of your choice.
Secondary objective:
You may spend one token and four influence to recruit one of your leaders from your reinforcement and place it on any one of your planets that has a space dock.
In addition, the following changes to the leader game variants apply:
* All players start with no leaders.
* All leaders die automatically and are returned to the reinforcements without any dice roll. This applies if a ship that carries a leader is destroyed at any time, if a leader is found on a planet that has been succesfully invaded, or in the case of an agent, if it was sacrificed to act as a sabotage.
* Leaders can not be captured, that sub-rule is cancelled.
We have been playing with this variant for a while and it seems to be working, however I am still pondering game balance issues and influence cost. I would be very happy if people can try this rule and let me know what they think.

Box Office: 'The Lion King's Box Office Reign Continues 17 Years Later
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on September 18, 2011 | Comments (3)I may have spoken a little too soon about the Circle of Life in this week's Reject Report. The Circle of Life isn't complete until a 17-year-old film, The Lion King in this case, gets re-released in 3D on over 2,300 screens and subsequently takes the box office by storm. That's right. More than 17 years after its initial run, which pulled in $825.7m worldwide, The Lion King has Hakuna Matata'ed in the #1 spot yet again. It didn't match the $34.2m opening weekend numbers it made the first weekend of July in 1994, but it came reasonably close. Close enough to let Disney as well as anyone who even had an inkling of an idea to re-release an older film in 3D know that that might be the way to go. Just five weekend ago article were being written about the possible demise of 3D. With films like Conan the Barbarian and Fright Night not living up to expectations, it seemed the novelty of seeing films that literally come at you may have been at its frayed end. Of course, you can't give 3D all the credit for The Lion King stacking up against the competition. The film is a classic, regarded by many as one of Disney's best, and the children of 1994 who fell in the love with the film are now taking their own kids to watch it. Even without the 3D element it's a formula for success, one made even more potent with the added […]
The Reject Report Straps On Its Driving Gloves
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on September 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentI thought about opening this Reject Report with a play on the lyrics to "Circle of the Life." A certain Disney classic is getting its re-release in 3-D this weekend, and you know how we love playing around with lyrics here at the Reject Report. But then we witnessed Ryan Gosling wearing leather driving gloves. Never mind the white bomber jacket complete with scorpion embroidered on the back. Those gloves are what we focused on. Then, after about 45 minutes of staring, we remembered we have a job to do. There's box office analyses that need to be…um…analyzed, and four new wide releases to split the box office dollars between them. Two R-rated thrillers, that Disney classic that's getting a re-release on over 2300 screens, and a rom-com starring Sarah Jessica Parker. Over/under on how many words I give that movie.
Box Office: 'Contagion' Gives No Cure For a Sick Box Office
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on September 12, 2011 | Comments (1)America had a fever…and the only cure…was more fever. Not cowbell this time. Steven Soderbergh's Contagion hit audience wallets hard this weekend bringing the director his biggest opening outside of films starring Julia Roberts. Maybe there is something to that American darling. Contagion was pretty well on par with analysis, knocked The Help off of its three-week pedestal, and ended up taking the #1 spot with a feverish vengeance. Okay, enough quips about sickness. Well maybe one or two more. As far as disaster movies go, the $60m star-studded film was pretty middle of the road, fitting in as far as opening weekends go between Poseidon's $22.1m and Knowing's $24.6m. Of course, looking at that reported budget, you can tell the film will be just fine in the long run. Most of the disaster films that have much bigger openings are Summer blockbusters, most of them involving some sort of alien being blowing up national monuments. But Soderbergh proved that even with a whimper you can create an effective end-of-the-world scenario and still rake in some decent cash.
Box Office: 'The Help' Isn't Afraid of Anything
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on August 28, 2011 | Comments (1)They came. They stood. They weren't afraid of a thing. And when the dust settled, they swept that up with the rest of the competition. Here in its third weekend out, The Help continues to pull in new as well as repeat audiences, and is very close to breaking the $100m barrier. Subsequent from its opening weekend, its percentage drops have been quite impressive: 23.1% down last weekend from the weekend before and 28.4% down this weekend from last. Though future weekends might see films open big enough to knock the period drama out of the top spot, its percentage downsizing doesn't seem likely to grow, and The Help will end up being quite the success story come year end. And that's even before the expected Oscar nominations for it are announced. Colombiana and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark's numbers were somewhat flip-flopped from what I anticipated. Colombiana was the only other film besides The Help to pull in double digits this weekend, but just barely. It didn't perform too terribly worse than Olivier Megaton's previous film's opening weekend. Transporter 3 debuted with $12m, and ended up topping $100m worldwide. With Luc Besson's name attached to Colombiana as well, you can expect foreign numbers to be much more favorable than domestic.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: August 26, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on August 26, 2011 | Comments (1)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr moved into an old, creepy house with the wife of an uber-famous movie star. But then she started hearing voices in the walls, so he bailed on that noise and found a new main squeeze. She turned out to be a full-blown psychotic assassin bent on revenge and blood. The plus side is that she was the spitting image of Zoe Saldana, so Kevin thought it might be worth the risk. This, of course, did not end well, but he considered himself lucky because he didn't have to sit through Our Idiot Brother. Oh, and apparently Transformers: The Dark of the Moon is returning to IMAX screens… but does anyone care about that at all?
Review: 'Colombiana' Makes a Frustrating Mess of Simple Revenge
Movie Reviews By Neil Miller on August 26, 2011 | Comments (16)In the genre of revenge thrillers, neither the French nor the South Americans are slouches. For decades, both cultures have produced countless bloody bonanzas that have been tinted yellow, untethered by conventional decency and piled upon with empty bullet casings. So what happens when two Frenchmen — uber producer Luc Besson and appropriately named action director Olivier Megaton — make a film about a South American killer hell bent on revenge starring Zoe Saldana, one of the most effortlessly sexy people on the planet? Somehow it all goes terrible wrong. It has the tint, the bullet casings and the motive, but Colombiana doesn't feel so free — it conforms to a PG-13 world, which sort of takes the fun out of the whole experience.
Movie News After Dark: Pixar's Luna, Highlander, Ayn Rand, Thor, Hunger Games and Killer Zoe Saldana
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 6, 2011 | Comments (7)What is Movie News After Dark? It is (d) all of the above. "La Luna is the timeless fable of a young boy who is coming of age in the most peculiar of circumstances." That's the opening of the synopsis to Pixar's La Luna, the short that will play the Annecy International Animation Festival next month in France. It's our adorable headlining image.

Zoe Saldana to Carry Out Sexy Assassinations in 'Colombiana'
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 17, 2010 | Comments (2)Consider this the news of the day. It is an equation that would put together producer Luc Besson, insane director Olivier Megaton (Transporter 3) and the world's foremost badass lady, Zoe Saldana, together in a project full of bullets.

love me some ice cream! service is good and the ice cream is delicious as always. look for parking up the hill behind ben and jerrys
love me some ice cream! service is good and the ice cream is delicious as always. look for parking up the hill behind ben and jerrys
A lot of great variety and always a hit with the kids especially on a hot summer day. Who am I kidding! on any day..
What can you say? The ice cream was good. The store itself was small. It was fun to walk along the beach and then stroll up for some ice cream. Good location.
I go here at least once a year when they have free scoop day and it's always handled well. Small, friendly shop in dt Kirkland. Usual flavors you'd expect and take-out only.
I'll get right to the point. Hit the Seven Layer Bar ice cream. It's not sold in retail stores and this is the only place you can get it. It's incredible! The place has very little seating and on hot days the line moves slow. Still, it's nice to have a spot like this downtown Kirkland.
Of course it is the best.....that and the local Gelato place! And what better than getting an ice-cream and walking downtown!
As always, the ice cream was delicious, with plenty of selections. Could have used another person behind the counter, but that didn't make the ice cream any less enjoyable.
Great desert, no disappointments. Nice polite service.
I have been to Ben and Jerry's a number of times, and service and quality are always excellent. It is unfair to make those fresh-baked waffle cones and let the aroma waft out of the shop - how do you expect anyone to resist? There staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable about the contents of every flavor - I... More
Way too expensive.

Katy Perry Apologized to a Very Aggressive Chief Keef
A few days ago, Katy Perry heard 17-year-old Chicago rapper Chief Keef's song "Hate Bein' Sober" on the radio. She tweeted concern, saying, "I now have serious doubt for the world." Keef, who wasn't directly mentioned in the tweet, found out on Thursday evening and got pretty salty. "Dat bitch Katy Perry Can Suck Skin Off Of my Dick," read one tweet. "Ill Smack The Shit out her," read another. For some reason, Katy Perry decided an apology was owed. From her. To him.
Perry closed it out classily, saying, "Believe me, I'm a lover not a hater." If she really felt the need to engage with this kinda puerile nonsense, she should have just said, "Believe me, I'm a firework," spiked a microphone onto her computer, and never thought about Chief Keef again.

College Class Gets Close With The Animals [VIDEO]
College students often get several opportunities to experience hands on training and real world lessons. One that's happening at the shore is quite unique because up till now, its never really been done before. It's a joint venture between Monmouth University and Jackson's Six Flags Theme Park and Wild Safari.

"The fact is, they'd never done anything like that," she says. "Most stations are really hermetically sealed. They're focused on Morning Edition and All Things Considered; those two shows are what the entire [radio] economy is built around. Everything else is window dressing; that's been the model for 30 years."
Some of Localore's projects have found outside funding to continue, from places like independent documentary incubator ITVS and the MacArthur Foundation. Others are being absorbed wholesale by local stations that will continue the work; Curious City, at WBEZ in Chicago, is going to become a regular feature, one Schardt hopes can be adopted by other stations.
One lesson of Localore is that when it comes to technology, less may be more. Nearly 75 percent of the participating host stations said they didn't have the staff or resources to keep up the tech end of the projects they incubated, but Schardt says her producers have also seen that light and lean tools are easier, and more replicable, than custom-built platforms.
The numbers suggest she's on to something. Localore has generated nearly 30 million interactions—that's the language of public media 2.0, where not only listeners, but sharers, streamers, aggregators, and responsive content creators are counted up to measure impact.
"We found that we don't need to invest in technology to really activate the stations," she says, "and to really give producers tools and elements that they can use to drive change."

Karina Veaudry, a Landscape Architect and Landscape Ecologist from Native Florida Consulting, comments on her experience meeting with Franek and designing projects with the PermaTrak product.
The PermaTrak system was invented by Franek Savarton in response to a major South Australian tourist facility's need for a boardwalk that would traverse a penguin rookery site. The challenge was to design a system that was attractive, modular and could to be installed by modestly-skilled labor. In response, Franek developed a system that cost effectively met the challenges and needs of a coastal environment.
As a landscape architect and the owner of Franek Savarton and Associates, Franek maximized the challenge, turning it into an opportunity to impact the way boardwalks would be built going forward. Combining an innate sense of design, along with an understanding of engineering, Franek realized that he could develop a complete system for the construction of boardwalks that was durable, design-flexible and eco-friendly.
Today, the PermaTrak system is used throughout Australia and is recognized as the standard for boardwalk construction. The product is building a global reputation for excellence, most recently in the United Arab Emirates. Franek maintains his own practice in addition to actively promoting and developing the PermaTrak system worldwide.

I have never bought from them. Are they good? I purchased some fortuniana J&P roses from merrygro.com this week and liked them a lot. They were much less expensive then what I saw on JB site but you never know. Please let me know your experience. |
I've been buying from Becnel for years. Top quality roses budded on fortuniana. If you can grow fortuniana roses, this is a good spot to start. |

Thanks for the info. I'll consider trying them. Merry Gro is right in your back yard aren't they. What success have you had with their product. J&P could have worked with a lot of different companies and picked Merry Gro in Florida. I'm envious although online puchasing sure made getting the roses easy. |
Well how about that. Where have I been and not knew they got a website up. That looks so GOOD. What would Johnny had thought of this. Bet he is beaming from...one wing to the other. Somebody been doing some work. Those pictures are really doing a job on these eyes and I really do not think that I need to see that sort of eye candy. I am about done in with all these roses and really going to go slower..... Calvin was at our club last month. I waited and waited for March. Never would I had missed hearing Calvin. NEVER! I do not even know where March went and it just passed me by till the late middle that I froze in spot when it dawned on me....I honestly lost March. Heard everybody took notes and they are still talking Calvin last night! I was just sick! Maybe Calvin should email me his written notes. It was not right me not being there. |

Gravity and Planet Alignments
Name: bryan Status: other Age: 30s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 1999 - 2000
My question has to do with something I had heard about not to long ago but since then I havent heard too much about it although it seems rather important.I was watching a show on t.v. and they were talking about Planets lining up 4 to 5 of them I beleive and the gravitational pull that would occur.I beleive they said this would happen in the year 2000 and I would like to know more about this aligning and what the consequences might be?
I remember them saying the graitational pull could be so severe it could knock the earth off it's axis??and cause all kinds of other catastrophies,possibly triggering the end of the world. Please enlighten me...Bryan
The only thing I know about this is that is was reported to be occurring May 5, 2000. I heard the story connected to the doomsday cults, but I only remember the date because it is the day before my father's birthday. As I said, beyond that, I have no information.

Wow. Hard to believe it's been over three weeks since my last post. We've been back for almost a week, and I've decided two-week vacations aren't all they're cracked up to be. I'd already grown bored and ready to come home nine or ten days in. That being said, however, let's catch up.
The Con was a blast! 'Course, I may not be the best judge of that, since my last one was 11 years ago. It was a Defcon, as well.
One of the most enlightening experiences I had while there was speaking with the creator of Marvel's Ghost Rider (the guy on the motorcycle, not the horse), Gary Friedrich. He spent a generous amount of time talking with me about his experiences in the Marvel Bullpen, working with the likes of Stan Lee and Roy Thomas. We also talked about the difference between horror writers who create and use mood to creep out readers, and those who ATTEMPT horrific story-telling simply by employing shock and gore. Big difference in there, somewhere. Gary's a great guy, and fun to talk to.
I also received a breathtaking Batman/Deathstroke sketch from Steve Erwin, which is pictured below. Steve is one of the more low-key professionals in comics. Extremely talented, completely approachable, and not a hint of self-awareness, he's one of my favorites in the business. Without going into detail, I'll also say he's one of the more reasonable artists out there, not charging fans an arm and a leg for his work.
Be sure to click that sketch, by the way, to do it real justice.
Probably most memorable, however, was the time I spent speaking with Michael Vance, creator and co-author of the Suspended Animation column. We communicate primarily by email and the occasional phone call, so it's always nice to get to spend a few hours with the guy, talking about family, church, comics..., you know, the important stuff in life. (Michael will be writing his last S.A. column in a few months - more on that further down.) Thanks for letting me hang out at your table, buddy!
Of course, it wouldn't be a proper con report if I didn't brag on at least ONE back issue acquisition. The one I consider the most important is the very first 3-D comic, published in 1953. Three Dimension Comics, which stars Mighty Mouse, can actually boast Joe Kubert as a contributor. I'm not sure even the Overstreet Price Guide makes note of that. And, hey, those are probably Golden Age stains on the cover, too!
Top the Con off with family trips to the Oklahoma Aquarium (an amazing place) and the Tulsa Zoo, and lots of quality time with extended family, and it makes it a vacation to remember.
And, yet, we were THRILLED to be home again. Isn't it funny how that works?
Well, again, in the spirit of catching up, here's the review that should have gone up last weekend.
The Dare Detectives, published by Dark Horse Books, 96 pages, digest-sized, $5.95
"Frantic" is defined, in part, as "done in a hurried and chaotic way." It is also the first word that comes to my mind when describing the first issue of The Dare Detectives. Understand, I mean that in the very best way.
First of all, "frantic" describes the action, which nearly runs from the first to the last page. It is action that is peppered with good humor throughout. It is almost as if the 100-mile-an-hour doings are more of a set-up for the ha-ha's than action for action's sake. And I did, by the way. "Ha-ha" that is.
The humor is something like a cross between Looney Tunes and the late-80's era Justice League by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis. With a funny talking rabbit. I bet some of you will "ha-ha" as well.
The subdued sequences come at the right times and serve their purpose of setting up more conflict and action.
The characters themselves show hints of interesting characterization. Though, as of the first issue, they do take a back seat to the star of the show, The Action.
All of this is to say that creator/writer Ben Caldwell did a good job writing his baby. His timing, sense of drama and humor (Have I mentioned humor...?) are to be admired. Before Detectives, I couldn't tell you the last time a comic book made me laugh.
"Frantic" also describes Caldwell's art style. It reminds me of the work of Tex Avery and Kyle Baker, but still has it's own flair and sense of Saturday morning "cartoony" fun. It is so charged with kinetic energy, I can imagine the artist scribbling away at his drawing table, while flailing about wildly, acting the scenes out as he puts a story together, ala Stan Lee.
I discovered Detectives late, as it was published in 2004. Better late than never. MUCH better. Highly recommended for teens and up.
Review by Mark Allen
Finally, Michael Vance will be wrapping up his 20-year tenure on Suspended Animation in a few months. I have to admit, the thought of continuing the column without him is a bit scary. More than anything, however, I am grateful that he "brought me in" eight years ago. Thanks for the confidence in me, Michael. I'll keep cranking out the reviews in the hopes of bringing in new adult readers, the same reason you started Suspended Animation all those years ago.
Anyway, following is Michael's farewell address, which went out Friday in place of the usual weekly review.
I grew up in the 1950s in a small town of about 12,000 to 15,000 people named Seminole in Oklahoma. Among the first things I began to read on my own were comic strips and comic books. I have loved the artform almost all of my life, and it was Alley Oop, Captain Easy, Superman and Herbie, among many other titles, that inspired me to become a writer. That's why it's difficult to say goodbye.
In my life, I was blessed with the opportunity to write many columns about comics, publish many interviews with comics writers and artists, write a history book about the artform, and found the Oklahoma Cartoonists Collection inside the Toy and Action Figure Museum in Paul's Valley, Oklahoma.
I also created this column.
On February of 1989, I wrote: "The truth, however, is that there are comics for adults, and they are capable of looking profoundly into the human condition", and Suspended Animation was born.
I also wrote: "The purpose of this new weekly column is to review the best and worst in comics. We will review comics written and drawn solely to entertain as well as comics with political, religious, and philosophical slants".
In February of 2009, I will have gladly done so for twenty years. At that time, I will retire from Suspended Animation.
At the height of its popularity, it was published in dozens of newspapers and magazines, featured on more than one hundred websites, and read by four million folks interested in comics.
It's been a blast.
Suspended Animation will continue under the capable pen of current co-author and comics fan Mark Allen.
I thank the readers of this column for allowing me to write about a first love, and thank Mark for continuing the weekly column.
See ya in the funny pages.
Michael Vance

Kim Kardashian: OK, I Do Not Look Cute Crying (PHOTOS)
Kim, most all of the time you cried this season (and I don't blame you one bit!), was b/c of something Kris H. said or did to get you going! It's apparent he did nothing but push your buttons the entire time in NYC! Even Kourt wanted to know why he was having a "power struggle" with you.. People who love each other, don't do that!! As for crying, who does look cute when they're crying? I look like a freaky fish!! lol
Guess Who: Hot Legs!
Beyonce is one of the most beautiful celebs, and definitely the most beautiful hip hop stars! It's hard to believe that, she is pregnant, b/c she's still very small!
Kardashian Kollection Contest: Design a T-Shirt, Win $1,000!
No offense to you or your design, but it really resembles another design entry - an entry that was submitted before yours. It almost appears as though you just submitted a rip-off of Nadine's work.... Especially when you added the red lipstick kiss!!!!
Kardashian Kollection Contest: Design a T-Shirt, Win $1,000!
Julie, I love, love, love your design, and hope it wins! I'm not much of an artist, so I highly doubt I'll be submitting, any kind of design.
Carrie Underwood Debuts Bangs at iHeartRadio Festival
I think the bangs shape Carrie's face better. However her bangs may not be permanent.. I learned that there is a hair extention just for that - bangs.. Unless they're real, which still wouldn't make a differnce, b/c Carrie is a natural beauty!
Sarah Jessica Parker's Matronly Blouse: Yay or Nay? (PHOTOS)
For the most part, SJP looks amazingly put-together, 95% of the time, so I think this one time when she wore a not-so-flattering blouse, I would say blame the stylist! Being such a big star that she is (in the same league as Angelina Jolie, as far as highest paid actress), she HAS to have a stylist! What celebrity doesn't? One more thing, do men really think she's blah?

Kendra Wilkinson arrives at her surprise
I agree with you Lucie regarding it was a mistake Hef never did wed Holly. Holly and Hef, IMO were truly in love, but they just happened to be another statistic couple from a reality show, and their relationship got busted up. Too bad. It will happening to Kendra and Hank in not too long. I give them a couple more yrs Way longer than Khloe Kardashian! lol
Kendra Wilkinson arrives at her surprise
I didn't see the twins at Kendra's wedding, when it aired on E! Did anyone see the twins at the ceremony? I saw Hef and Cyrystal, but no twins. I don't think Kendra likes them, but for the sake of both shows, Girl's next door and Kendra. The show must go on.. The twins have a past criminal record and really have no business being at the Playboy Mansion! They say they love Hef, but would they be able to answer this - Would you still be with Hef, if he was just another senior citizen on Social Security and has a modest pension per month? I highly doubt it! I guess it's a give and take though. Poor Hef is wearing adult diapers and the twins have to go down on him.. Oh happy days!!! lol

Open House for USI-Glenwood Community Health Center
The event, which is free and open to the public, will include free health screenings and services, including blood sugar and cholesterol screenings, blood pressure checks, health insurance enrollment, flu shots, respiratory testing, lead testing, and more. There also will be a lunchtime meal of hot dogs, chips and dessert and drawings for prizes such as a Wii Fit, a television, first aid kits and more. "The USI College of Nursing and Health Professions is pleased to establish the first school-based health clinic in Evansville, and to provide primary care services to Glenwood community area residents," said Nadine Coudret, dean of the College. The Community Health Center is the result of a five-year $1.2 million grant to USI from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The center will provide primary health care services to Glenwood neighborhood residents, including students, families and Glenwood staff. Undergraduate and graduate students in nursing, respiratory therapy, occupational therapy, food and nutrition, social work, dental and health administration will participate in delivering services to Community Health Center patients and Glenwood neighborhood residents. This Community Health Center not only will assist those living in the Glenwood community with their health needs, but also begin a three year plan - with the second year opening at the Culver Family Learning Center, and the third year opening at the Juan Diego Center at Nativity Church. It also marks the beginning of investigation into rolling out similar programs in other EVSC schools. "This partnership is bringing assistance to our children and families in a way that will have long-lasting benefits," said Cathlin Gray, EVSC associate superintendent for family, school, and community partnerships. "The Community Health Center will provide families a safe, familiar place to have their health needs attended to. No one does well when they don't feel good - and children are no exception. This Health Center will definitely have a huge impact to benefit our students. We thank all of the partners for coming together to make a difference for this community and look forward to future endeavors." Sponsors for the event include: EVSC, USI, St. Mary's, Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare, Inc., Anthem, MDwise, and MHS. |

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Does anyone know what variety of lantana produces the bright red flowers? I got some Dallas red and was disappointed that it was mostly orange and yellow.
Thanks,Michelle |

Have you fed it? I have the same lantana in three different places in my garden and all three are different from each other.The only thing I can think of is there may be different amounts of fertilizer around them.They are not in the same beds and I do use different kinds of fertilizer on my beds.It depends on what I have planted in them.Paulette |
This is interesting. I planted 'Dallas Red' for three years straight after it came on the market (it was, obviously, not hardy for me. LOL!). Each time after a couple of weeks the blooms began opening primarily in orange & yellow tones. A couple of weeks ago I purchased four 'Confetti' lantanas, only to have the newer clusters of blooms open fuchsia after a week or so. However, I grew 'Irene' for years as a perennial and it always came back "true". If anyone can explain this "changing of color" to us I'm sure we'd all be most appreciative. Hope ya'll are having a great summer.... Nelson |

I purchased a variety last year called 'Irene'. It was a very pretty true red variety and I think it may have had a tiny yellow eye but red was the predominant color. It stayed true to color for me all year. I fully expected it to die but one of the three plants actually overwintered in the ground with mulch. I'm hoping it will continue to do so with a more established root system but we'll have to see. Sincerely, Squirrellypete |

I got three Red Lantana from our local Wal Mart last summer for 25 cents each. Here in Mi no one even knew what Lantana is, so no one was buying them. Put them in my Alabama garden last fall, and this spring they were up and growing well. Will let you know when we return in the fall, IF they stayed RED. P.S. Altho I am in Mi my heart is in Dixie. |
My Dallas red opened up orange and yellow too but,they turned red. |
- Posted by TSmith2579 Z7B/8A-Alabama (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 4, 05 at 21:46
I kept Dallas for several years and it always came true to color. I like the yellows, purples and reds, but I love my yellow/orange Miss Huff and the lavender/pink with cream centers varieties which have been reliably hardy for me. |

Enter the Laboratory
Announcing Forbidden Alchemy, an expansion for Mansions of Madness |
Mansions of Madness | Published 12 September 2011 |
"The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
–H.P. Lovecraft
Inside abandoned hospitals, secret laboratories, and forgotten cellars, scientists are conducting depraved experiments that will drag humanity to the brink of the abyss. Only a small group of investigators can discover the truth and put an end to these mad plots before it's too late...
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Forbidden Alchemy, an expansion that adds even more mystery and horror to your Mansions of Madness experience! This exciting expansion provides players with new investigators, as well as new Trauma, Mythos, and Combat cards for use in any story. Forbidden Alchemy also includes three new tales of scientific horrors, in which investigators will encounter new rooms, monsters, items, clues, locks, and obstacles. Try to solve the new Alchemy puzzles, if you dare. But be warned, the side effects may prove deadly!
New Investigators, New Challenges
Forbidden Alchemy introduces four new investigators to your horrifying tales. Cameraman Darrell Simmons is no stranger to the peculiar goings-on of Arkham, and the bone saw-wielding Doctor Vincent Lee brings the steady hands of a veteran surgeon to your adventures. Meanwhile, the skilled illusionist Dexter Drake aspires to greater arcane powers, and psychologist Carolyn Fern bases her arts in more rational, scientific endeavors. With its range of characters, abilities, and equipment, Forbidden Alchemy further bolsters Mansions of Madness' already significant replayability.
Ready for new tales of horror? Forbidden Alchemy features three horrifying stories of scientific discovery gone horribly awry.
In "Return of the Reanimator," the investigators are tasked with entering a vermin-infested manor to seek the whereabouts of Doctor Herbert West, a reportedly insane scientist whose legendary experiments in reanimation led to his untimely demise. Meanwhile, "Yellow Matter" tells the grim tale of research into strange extraterrestrial beings. But who is the experimenter, and who is the subject? Finally, "Lost in Time and Space" takes your Mansions of Madness experience to mind-bending new heights with the introduction of time travel! Travel back to the mid-nineteenth century or ahead to the mid-twenty-first in your search for the truth behind a strange and dangerous device.
Guard Your Sanity
With four clever new investigators, two terrifying monster types, nearly 250 new cards, 40 tokens and markers, and six detailed map tiles, Forbidden Alchemy introduces a host of new enhancements to your Mansions of Madness experience.
Do you dare face the horrors that lurk within the laboratory? Visit our Forbidden Alchemy website, and keep watching in the coming weeks as we present detailed previews. Then, look for Forbidden Alchemy on store shelves in the fourth quarter of 2011!
Mansions of Madness is a macabre game of horror, insanity, and mystery for two to five players. Based on the beloved fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, Mansions of Madness tells a story in which one player takes on the role of the keeper, a malevolent force working to complete a sinister plot, and all other players take on the roles of investigators, the unlikely heroes who gather to oppose him.
O.O!... *droool and turn into madness by emptying right away my small bank account to get this expansion (Lol!)* cannot wait to see those new map tiles and the creatures
I wonder if they will introduce an official variant for exploration that a separate deck of exploration cards (some nothing of interest and some common items) that can be used to pick from after the investigator has already explored a room. This way an investigator still has a chance to find something else even after he/she explored the room for the seed cards.
Eager to fight against these new creatures in close combat in secret laboratories!
As far as I know, a lot of players (myself included) complained about the lack of narrative closure at the end of the game.
Looks like you listened. :)
Very exciting! I like how the new tiles will create a different type of location for the scenarios to occur. Also, the new monsters look nasty, especially the Crawling One.
This is the expansions I have been waiting for one with monsters and tiles and a lot more cards rather than 1 scenario expansions.
Awesome! Awesome! AWESOME! I just cannot wait! I'm still waiting for my two POD expansions, but THIS is extremely AWESOME news! This game is absolutely amazing! As long as you guys keep on releasing MoM big box expansions until we have ALL investigators I'm very much happy :P
That's a great piece of news ;-) keep'em coming!
Cannot wait to paint these new miniatures. I gonna start thinking of ideas right now...
I think my next purchase must be "Mansions of madness" and by christmas i can get the expansion. Looking forward.
Really looking forward to this expansion. Loving the game. Thanks FFG!
This sounds really cool....now, if only there were solitaire rules ;) Just kidding
