Yep, it's done.
Second Wind, folks, Second Wind is here.
It's a witty blend of Text Adventure, Roguelike, and Sweet Simplicity.
All in all, there are 20 classes, three skills each, three major areas, four endings, countless monsters (as in, I'm too lazy to count them,) treasures, specialty shops, equips, weapons, and more.
Folks, this is one big game.
Also, there are medals, lots of em'
I sincerely dare you to beat the game on Nethack Difficulty.
And remember, dying is all a part of the experience :D
The last update was on October 21st, Version 1.57:
- Fixed up the Saiyan's awaken doing absolutely nothing.
- Fixed the broken meter glitch... Hopefully.
- The "explore" segment should run faster.
- And some other stuff I can't remember.
Send a PM with any additional problems and I'll get on them as soon as possible!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
while this is fun and all i just eneded my rogue at lvl 30 beating the game... now when i go to start a new character i notice a few odd things.1. the class that requires you to have atleast reached lvl 10 to unlock is still locked. 2. the class that requires you to have atleast 350 gold is still locked despite me having ended my game with 900+ gold. 3. the class that requires you to hold atleast 10 potions to unlock is still locked despite me both having over 20 pots then beating that god and it gifted me 50 pots. 4,5,6 the classes requires stats over 35, reaching the 2nd and 3rd lvl. are all still locked despite beating the game with stats of 65,104,61. and did i mention beating the game meaning i made it through all the areas. soo while i love this game its really annoying that stuff isn't unlocking correctly.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
I do like the game, but the only thing that is rather bad about it is the frequent "cheap deaths" I seem to get I'm wandering about at full HP, when suddenly "Whelp you got killed by a rookie orc"
Without even giving me a fight or anything. Maybe I am missing something but this is annoying, if it's a bug, and very bad if it's intentional.
Excuse the not-so-perfect English but I am from Sweden and it's been quite some time since I've written something in English except the general drivel you type ingame.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
There's a bug that kinda freezes the game, i think its random cause it happened to me on every floor. Not sure whats causing it but it makes the options in a battle to be blank after you use skills that causes the screen to flash like Legend, Curse, and i can't remember the other one but i think its from the wiz.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Now, I understand that this game has a real novel feel to it, and I really want to like it. I never got past the cave yet, although I've had the opportunity to level up at least a few times. It seems though, whenever I get to random occurances I just seem to need to use my second wind and die. I imagine this is a glitch, but so far I enjoy this game despite that issue.
You automatically die at random occurrences, or are you dying at random occurances?
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
I'm encountering the very same bug that JackofPojo is in that, when you level up, your health resets to 0. This is a fatal bug that stops me from enjoying what is otherwise a very solid time waster. You say it should work, but... well, I'm still suffering from it. I will keep trying, and in the event the bugs are truly fixed, I will give you a higher rating. However, for now, this is all you get.
It's gone now...

Queen & Country: Operation Red Panda
- Posted by Johanna on January 18, 2008 at 6:59 am
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: written by Greg Rucka; art by Chris Samnee
- PUBLISHER: Oni Press; $11.95 US
I've missed Tara Chace. Now I'm trying to catch up with her, but it's like meeting an old friend who's been away longer than I've realized, and an awful lot has happened to her in the meantime.
When last I saw her, at the end of 2005's Operation: Saddlebags, she had failed her first mission as Minder One and was crying, alone, in the shower, with a bottle of whiskey. Since then, there have been two novels that covered life-changing events. According to other readers, this comic collection is set before and leads into the second novel, so not having read them shouldn't be much of a handicap.
This volume opens with several wordless pages of Tara being met at the airport by her boss. I didn't connect with the events, because I'd forgotten too much since last time I'd seen the series, so I put this book aside and reread the previous, which gave me much better emotional context for the story to come.
Chris Samnee's art is impressive. Seeing his crowded airport, the fatherly air of Tara's boss, her turned-away face, I feel the silence, the resignation, the solitude even in the midst of others. Later on, his ability to craft mature, nuanced faces is a major strength in supporting the dialogue-driven scenes (or interactions based around not saying things). His use of shadow to indicate the planes of the face is masterful.
Tara's being debriefed after something that happened in Saudi Arabia (the substance of the first novel, I assume). Her unfriendly interregator sees her as a cliché, as shown by his introduction to her, offering whiskey and cigarettes. She's self-medicating to reduce nightmares, which doesn't help.
This is perhaps the most unglamorous spy story out there. She's often alone, and when she's not, she's surrounded by a bureaucracy of fat old men. She's got terrible habits, and they're not cool or sexy, they're vomit-inducing. No one's truly concerned with her well-being; they pay attention to her health only in the sense of whether she's ready for work. Due to how events have shaped her, she's no longer interested in her old source of self-esteem, her job, and she has nothing left to replace it.
Part of the scheming going on at higher levels involves avoiding having to use someone called Andrew Fincher, a character I didn't recall and isn't otherwise explained, not even in the short profiles that open the book. I'd love to have known what was so objectionable about him.
As editor James Lucas Jones alludes in his introduction, this is the last volume of the series for a while. Writer Greg Rucka had been doing a lot more work for superhero publisher DC Comics recently, although his exclusive contract with them recently ended, and while he intends to tell further Q&C stories, you never know what the future will bring.
As a series conclusion, even for now, I think the previous book Saddlebags works better. It's a down note, but that's in keeping with the gritty tone of the series. Red Panda feels inconclusive, as though it only exists because it was needed to connect up the books and comics, and without knowing the novels, the ending is less rewarding than I had hoped it would be.
Chris Samnee has also illustrated Capote in Kansas. A complimentary copy for this review was provided by the publisher.

January 18, 2008 at 11:24 AMYou've touched on a concern I had about the novels. I've read both of them, and thought they were great, but Rucka definitely treats them like continuing parts of the comic book saga.
Major events happen in both novels. A significant character dies at the end of the first, which is what Tara is upset about at the start of Red Panda, and the matter of Tara's medical condition in Red Panda (about which I'll say no more to avoid spoilers) is dealt with at length in the second novel, along with some major career/lifestyle changes for our heroine.
But I'm sure there are plenty of readers like yourself who are only reading the comic books and/or trade collections, and who therefore have no idea of these shockwaves in Tara's life. Red Panda isn't the end of the first part of her story; Private Wars is.
I don't think it's a bad thing that Rucka is doing these separate novels — I usually prefer his prose to his comic stuff, and it's easier to deal with these big events in book form than in the comics — but he needs to be more overt in filling in the gaps for the audience that isn't reading the novels.
- Johanna Says:
January 18, 2008 at 1:48 PMI think I might have been happier (as a non-Q&C novel reader) if instead of making the last comic the fill-in between the two novels, they'd set the last comic (for however long) after the two books. Or even done comic adaptations of the events of the books. (I know who dies, but I don't know the details.)
I'm tempted to ask if readers think it's fair to switch media during an ongoing series, but fairness really doesn't mean anything.
- Matthew Craig Says:
January 19, 2008 at 5:29 PMAhh…I thought it felt like I'd turned over two pages at once. I noticed that the cast list had changed, though.
I dunno…if Q&C had been a TV show that had spun off into a novel, then back into a TV show again without a decent recap, I think people would have been angry.
But comics are a far less passive medium. You wouldn't have to make much more of an effort to find the Q&C novels than you would to find the comics – well, I would, but that's because the Q&C novels aren't available in our chain bookstores.
(that said, if Q&C were a TV show, then you can be damn sure that the novels would be easy to find)
Hrm. Maybe that's what's wrong, here – expecting ("demanding" is a bit strong) that the reader will make that extra effort to seek out the other-media material. Crossover mentality in independent comics! Boo!

Believe it or not, this isn't snobbiness; lager simply can't stand up to barbecued meat. Here are three styles that will blow the lid off your barbie.
Meat & fish
The final that asks the most important question of the tournament, and possibly one of the most important questions ever asked – sausage or steak?
One of the great advantages of cooking on a barbecue is the smoke, but BBQ smoking, although not complex, is an art – check out our ultimate guide here.
Ever wondered how to make smoked chicken? Well here's not only an explanation of how to do it but a phenomenal way to serve it with a Texas-Mexican twist.
Cooking over fire takes some skill, but mastering those techniques is well worth it. Here's everything you'll ever need to know to make the perfect BBQ.
Centuries of changing borders have resulted in a mix of culinary influence in Bosnia. I was keen to try Pljeskavica burgers; perfect for watching the footy!
Raw fish is often a bit of a funny one for us in the UK. In The Netherlands, however, it is an intrinsic part of their national food identity.
Even Maradona's Hand of God can't wipe away my love for Argentina, because they gave us asado and the greatest strike force pairing in the world – steak and malbec.
DJ BBQ – Food Tube star and Jamie's go-to man for smoking food and cooking over fire – is releasing his first book, and we've got the backstory right here.DJ BBQ – Food Tube star and Jamie's go-to man for smoking food and cooking over fire – is releasing his first book, and we've got the backstory right here.
We always see our takes on Japanese recipes do really well, and we love putting our own twist on things to make them either simpler or just a bit different.

RICK SMITH: A master teacher's last lesson
SAN ANGELO, Texas - He was the teacher you never forget. The guru at the top of the mountain. The maverick who thought and taught out of the box.
He connected with his students. He understood what they needed. He made difficult lessons come to life.
He made anatomy and physiology understandable, even interesting.
Robert Price cared, and his students knew it.
Those former students, as well as fellow teachers and the parents of students, flooded social media sites with their memories, tributes and tears recently as the news of his death spread.
"Robert Price made a difference."
"His eccentricity as a teacher made me feel that my eccentricities weren't freaky but charming."
"He was loved by all."
"Few teachers have the GIFT that keeps all personalities engaged. Thank you Mr. Price for being that gifted teacher."
"Thanks for being that special teacher to many of us. You were the one that really taught us how to think for ourselves."
"You told me to go far and live a happy life, I will."
"Your passion for teaching and shaping young minds was truly inspiring."
"I know we are all better people because of him."
"He will be with me always."
Robert Price, 69, died from cancer Aug. 13. His funeral was Saturday at First United Methodist Church in San Angelo.
He taught honors biology for 43 years at Central High School.
Upon his retirement in 2010, he wrote a letter to the last class of students he would ever teach.
His recent death makes that letter even more meaningful. Rather than a farewell to a class, it was his goodbye to us all.
Here are some excerpts from a great teacher's last lesson to his students:
"My 43-year journey is over, as is this part of your 12-year voyage. I have had the rare honor and great privilege of being able to shape minds, it is a joy unlike any other but it is also tinged with sadness because it means this is my last letter to my students, and this time we will go away."
"I remember your struggles in the complexity of the human body, while watching your uneasy but growing sense of wonder as we unraveled the study of our bodies in its bizarrely complicated design, all the way to the end as we did the brain and a little bit of psychology. Ah, the memorable times we have had: labs dissecting hearts and pigs, or perhaps when my stories tugged on your heartstrings, or the times we had to laugh at each other, but especially how strong we are when we lean on each other and show that we care for one another in times of need, these and a hundred other times special only to us have made for unforgettable memories."
"Never forget that each of you is a special creation and you are wonderfully and fearfully made. I hope you leave here feeling you need to learn even more and know more about yourself and life with the knowledge that learning just never really ends. You have chosen the far harder challenges of difficult classes like mine and you are better for it, and it is exactly this road less traveled that will make all the difference in your future life."
"You may never know how you continually amused and amazed me with your wide-eyed innocence and the exuberance of youth, your vitality and energy, and many extraordinary talents. I am but a simple man with simple dreams and you have taught me as much as I have taught you. Best of all, you let me see and touch the future and share a small part of your large dreams. Go far in pursuit of your goals, you are the only one who can make them come true."
"How lucky I've been to be a teacher, but more importantly, your teacher, because you have taught me to trust the future is in good hands, yours! Remember where you came from, keep your eyes on where you are going, and don't forget to stop and smell the roses along the way. But the Greatest and Most Important lesson of all I tried to teach you is to remember this one great truth of your life: I believe that somehow, somewhere, and someday, you really will make a difference in this world, just wait and see! Goodbye and have a wonderful life!"

Good morning and happy Friday! Here's your Outer Banks Beach, Surf & Fishing Report for Friday, June 28, 2013.
This video and picture were taken in Kill Devil Hills at milepost 8 @ 8:30 a.m.
The weather is spectacular this morning! High of almost 90 expected today with a chance of storms later. Light wind from the SW at 7 mph.
Surf this morning is great for paddle boarding (see video below). Wave height is knee-cap to thigh high and ocean water temperatures in the mid 60's.
Surf and pier fishing is slow. Sound fishing is decent, anglers on the causeway bridge in Manteo catching Trout, Black Drum, Puppy Drum, Spot and Croakers. Offshore fishing is decent, reports of Yellowfin Tuna and Gaffer Dolphin.
If you are thinking about an OBX vacation, please give us a look at www.OuterBanksVacations.com Hope to see you soon. Have fun!

Despite Eric Clapton, Jackson Browne is the oldest artist I've shot (born in 1948). It seems as though the older the artist, the more restrictions they have for photographers capturing the event. There are a few theories for why this occurs, but the most obvious is that the publist/record label wants the artist to look marketable for the thousands to millions who might see the photographs. With higher quality cameras and monitors, it becomes more difficult to hide the reality of an image in grainy black and white images. The way the "suits" see it is the older the artist, the less flattering they look close-up, so what better way to fix this problem that to just put the photographers back farther away that might limit them to a medium or wide shot instead of a close-up. Restricting the number of songs also allows the artist less time to become sweaty and unattractive. For Eric Clapton, we photographer folk had to shoot by the soundboards for the first 2 songs only (typically the norm is 3). With Jackson Browne I was able to at least shoot from the pit, but was still limited to the first 2 songs and I also had to sign a release stating I would use the photos for press and review purposes only. Now, let me first say that most music photographers you see out there if not working for press are likely not getting paid for shooting the event. The way they make their money is primarily by selling the images to the band's publicists, the concert promoters, or the fans. Therefore, signing these horrid documents are the last thing a photographer wants to do, but for the sake of illustration I signed it as you can see pictured below. I might note that the primary purpose that these documents exist is so that the photographer doesn't use the photos to create bulk merchandise and profit from it. Thus, if you meet with the publicist and inform them that you work for little to nothing and selling prints with releases allows you to pay your mortgage payment, then they might be willing to let you slide without signing the release. The types of releases vary, but I've even seen some detailing that by signing the photographer forfeits all copyright to the publicist or record label, allowing them to profit off your images! So kids, the lesson of the day is that if you do end up signing a release, then make sure you read it very carefully and request a copy for your records. It's one thing to give away your images, but it's another to allow others to profit from them.

Current Time
Jackson , Wyoming
Tel: 307 733 0557
Concierge.com's insider take:
This downtown joint is a favorite of Jackson's most famous residents, among them Dick Cheney and Harrison Ford. Executive chef Jeff Drew's contemporary American menu—think appetizers such as artichoke-and-truffled potato ravioli in fennel broth, and entrées like roasted double elk chop with cabernet-braised shallots and wild mushrooms—complements the 270-bottle wine list; look for the Oregon pinot noirs. If you're not too fond of the decor (the three-dimensional paintings of buffalo hanging from the main dining room's ceiling aren't for everyone), the private dining room is more romantic and modern. Just ignore the lounging secret service agents.

Derby County midfielder Jeff Hendrick has committed his long-term future to the club, extending his contract at the iPro Stadium until 2018.
Rams manager Steve McClaren believes tying down the Republic of Ireland international could be among the most important pieces of business he will do this summer.
He told the club's official website: "It's fantastic news for the Football Club that Jeff has signed a new long-term contract and it is probably one of the best signings we will make this summer.
"When myself and the coaching staff were appointed last season we were aware that Jeff was a player with plenty of potential.
"Seeing him first hand in training every day and in match situations too, it is very clear he has a lot of qualities.
"He ended last season in very good form and made a real impact on the side, so we'll be looking for exactly the same from him at the start of the new season in August."

As a result of the Merger, Mondial succeeded to the business and acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of Legacy. Each percent of common membership interest of Legacy issued and outstanding were converted automatically into the right to receive 510,000 shares of Mondial common stock, par value $.001 per share or up to an aggregate of 51,000,000 shares of common stock.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined by ASC 915-10-05, "Development Stage Entity". The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated, since inception, have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate so as to make the information presented not misleading.
These interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the information contained therein. However, the results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Basis of Accounting
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Mondial and its wholly-owned subsidiary Legacy Athletic Apparel, LLC and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are stated in US dollars.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of six months or less to be cash equivalents.
At June 30, 2012, the Company maintained its cash balances in one financial institution located in Ashburn, Virginia. The cash account consists of an operating checking account which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company currently has $53 of funds subject to FDIC protection.
The Company performs annual impairment tests on goodwill in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or when events occur or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or an intangible asset with an indefinite life below its carrying value. Events or changes in circumstances that may trigger interim impairment reviews include significant changes in business climate, operating results, planned investments in the reporting unit, or an expectation that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, among other factors. The impairment test requires the Company to estimate the fair value of its reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is potentially impaired and the Company proceeds to step two of the impairment analysis. In step two of the analysis, the Company measures and records an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill over its implied fair value should such a circumstance arise.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the future benefit.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC 740-10 (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which prescribed a comprehensive model for how an entity should measure, recognize, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that an organization has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company adopted ASC 740-10 as of June 23, 2010. There was no impact to the Company's financial statements as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive losses per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the basic loss per share equals the dilutive loss per share.
Financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and a note payable. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. In management's opinion, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate, currency exchange rate or credit risk arising from these financial instruments. The Company is not party to any derivative instruments.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes the services received or goods acquired in a share-based payment transaction as services are received or when it obtains the goods as an increase in equity or a liability, depending on whether the instruments granted satisfy the equity or liability classification criteria [FAS-123®, par.5].
A share-based payment transaction with employees is measured base on the fair value (or, in some cases, a calculated or intrinsic value) of the equity instrument issued. If the fair value of goods or services received in a share-based payment with non-employees is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the equity instrument issued, the fair value of the goods or services received shall be used to measure the transaction. Conversely, if the fair value of the equity instruments issued in a share-based payment transaction with non-employees is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the consideration received, the transaction is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued [FAS-123®, par.7].
The cost of services received from employees in exchange for awards of share-based compensation generally is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued or at the fair value of the liabilities incurred. The fair value of the liabilities incurred in share-based transactions with employees is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until settlement [FAS-123®, par.10].
Share-based payments awarded to an employee of the reporting entity by a related party or other holder of an economic interest in the entity as compensation for services provided to the entity are share-based transactions to be accounted for under FAS-123® unless the transfer is clearly for a purpose other than compensation for services to the reporting entity. The substance of such a transaction is that the economic interest holder makes a capital contribution to the reporting entity and that entity makes a share-based payment to its employee in exchange for services rendered [FAS-123®, par.11].
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF) and the AICPA are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
Note 3—Merger
As mentioned previously, Legacy merged into Mondial, with Mondial being the surviving entity. This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill with operating results are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations since the date of the merger. The cost of the merger was $51,000 and goodwill of $104,272 was recorded.
Note 4—Notes Payable
The Company has an unsecured $50,000 note payable with an individual which was due by September 30, 2010. In accordance with the note agreement, interest is accruing at the rate of 2.5% per month until the amount is paid in full. The note remains unpaid at the time of the filing of the 10-Q.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company entered into five additional notes payable agreements totaling $170,000.
Note 5—Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 and has issued 100,000,000 shares as at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Note 6- Related Party Transactions
The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. An officer of the corporation provides office services without charge. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors for the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
Note 7 – Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. The Company will engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.
Note 8 - Commitment and Contingency
The company purchased oil and gas assets on July 31, 2012 from EGPI Firecreek, Inc. The Company issued 14,000,000 shares of common stock to EGPI Firecreek Inc. for the North 40 acres of the J.B. Tubb Leasehold Estate/Amoco Crawar field consists of a 37.5% working interest ("WI"), 28.125% net revenue interest ("NRI") in the oil and gas interests, and pro rata oil & gas revenue and reserves for all depths below the surface to 8500 ft. including all related assets, fixtures, equipment, three well heads and three well bores. Currently, there are three wells in operation on the property currently producing approximately 300+ barrels of oil per month. The purchase also includes the Highland Production Company No. 2 well-bore in the oil and gas interests and pro rata oil & gas revenue and reserves with depth of ownership from 4700 ft. to 4900 ft.
Concurrent with the transaction the company hired Dennis Alexander as CEO and appointed him to the board of directors. Joanne Sylvanus was hired as CFO and appointed to the board of directors. There were 71,000,000 shares of common stock returned to the Company for cancelation by shareholders as part of an agreement between them.
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" which follows, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve various important assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this discussion can be identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "plan," "intend," "may," "should" or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievement. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including but not limited to, competitive factors and pricing pressures, changes in legal and regulatory requirements, cancellation or deferral of customer orders, technological change or difficulties, difficulties in the timely development of new products, difficulties in manufacturing, commercialization and trade difficulties and general economic conditions as well as the factors set forth in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report or the date of any document incorporated by reference, in this Quarterly Report. We are under no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
We intend to become a leading developer, marketer and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. We began operations in July 2010 as Legacy Athletic Apparel LLC and then merged with Mondial Ventures, Inc. on December 30, 2010. We plan to sell our products worldwide and have them worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional, on playing fields around the globe, as well as by consumers with active lifestyles.
Mining Operations
Legacy – Mondial Merger
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 14, 2010, entered into by and between Legacy Athletic Apparel LLC, a Virginia limited liability company and Mondial Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on December 30, 2010, Legacy merged into Mondial, with Mondial being the surviving entity. As a result of the merger, Mondial succeeded to the business and acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of Legacy.
Historical Mining Operations
Mondial Ventures, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 29, 2002. Prior to the merger, we were an exploration stage mineral company engaged in the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we would discover and that demonstrated economic feasibility. Prior to December 15, 2010, we owned a 100% interest in four contiguous mineral claims collectively known as the Q29 property. The claims expired on December 15, 2010, and in light of our determination to change our business as contemplated in the merger, we did not re-stake the claims.
Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2012
We did not earn any revenues during the quarter ending June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $886,433 and a working capital deficiency of $817,829.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, our operating expenses consisted of $6,000 in professional fees and, $4,375 in office and general costs.
As of June 30, 2012, we had $53 in cash and liabilities totaling $817,882 consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $165,232, interest accrued of $72,647 and accrued compensation of 360,000 and a $220,000 notes payable due to unrelated parties.
We had not generated any revenue from inception to June 30, 2012 and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our proposed business activities. For these reasons, our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Effective December 30, 2010, we merged with Legacy Athletic Apparel LLC and have changed our business to the athletic footwear, apparel and accessories business. On July 31 we purchased oil and gas assets, see commitments and contingencies below.
Revenue and Expenses
We are currently a development stage company. We do not yet have any revenues. We are still devoting substantially all of our efforts on establishing the business and our planned principal operations have not commenced. We expect our revenues to be comprised of both net sales and license revenues. Net sales will comprise sales from our primary product categories, which are apparel, footwear and accessories.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses will consist of costs related to marketing, selling, product innovation and supply chain and corporate services. Personnel costs are included in these categories based on the employees' function. Personnel costs will include salaries, benefits and incentive and stock-based compensation expense related to the employee. Our marketing costs are an important driver of our growth. We expect marketing costs to consist primarily of commercials, print ads, league, team, player and event sponsorships, amortization of footwear promotional rights and depreciation expense specific to our in-store fixture program.
No Revolving Credit
We do currently have a revolving (or other) credit facility with any lending institutions.
Long Term Debt
We currently do not have any long-term debt agreements.
Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity
We will require additional funding in order to proceed with proposed product development and to cover administrative costs. We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock as well as from debt financing. We are currently in discussions with individuals and investment brokerage firms as part of our plan to raise- up to $1.5 million for fiscal year 2012. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or from debt financing.
Since January 1, 2011, we have raised $120,000 through short-term debt arrangements. These sums were expended for marketing costs such as advertising, event sponsorship, and hiring of a public relations firm to launch the recognition of our company at 2011 NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, California. The marketing campaign was specifically designed to appeal to our demographic, i.e., the fashion-conscious consumer interested in athletic gear suitable for wear both on the field and out on the town.
Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our obligations for the next 12-month period. As a result, we are currently seeking additional funding through both equity and debt arrangements. Our plan includes discussions with individuals and investment brokerage firms. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to secure sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or debt arrangements to meet our obligations over the next 12 months. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
We also intend to seek debt financing by way of bank loan, line of credit, trade financing or otherwise. We may also seek financing through a factor. We are, however, not yet in a favorable position to secure these arrangements as we do not yet have any orders or revenue.
We are also considering various joint venture agreements with technological companies that have developed new technologies that will enhance the performance and look of our products. In addition, we are in discussions with celebrities who currently have licensed product in stores as well as owners of recognized trademarks for lifestyle and athletic products. While we do not anticipate that such arrangements are likely to provide cash funding, they will enhance our portfolio and increase our appeal to potential investors.
If we are unable to arrange additional financing, our business plan will fail and operations will cease.
Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company purchased oil and gas assets on July 31, 2012 from EGPI Firecreek, Inc. The Company issued 14,000,000 shares of common stock to EGPI Firecreek Inc. for the North 40 acres of the J.B. Tubb Leasehold Estate/Amoco Crawar field consists of a 37.5% working interest ("WI"), 28.125% net revenue interest ("NRI") in the oil and gas interests, and pro rata oil & gas revenue and reserves for all depths below the surface to 8500 ft. including all related assets, fixtures, equipment, three well heads and three well bores. Currently, there are three wells in operation on the property currently producing approximately 300+ barrels of oil per month. The purchase also includes the Highland Production Company No. 2 well-bore in the oil and gas interests and pro rata oil & gas revenue and reserves with depth of ownership from 4700 ft. to 4900 ft.
Concurrent with the transaction the company hired Dennis Alexander as CEO and appointed him to the board of directors. Joanne Sylvanus was hired as CFO and appointed to the board of directors. There were 71,000,000 shares of common stock returned to the Company for cancelation by shareholders as part of an agreement between them.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Mondial Ventures, Inc. have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are stated in US dollars.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and therefore we are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of the financial information included in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Although the financial statements reflect all available information and management's judgment and estimates of current conditions and circumstances, and are prepared with the assistance of specialists within and outside the company, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has established and maintains an internal control structure to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition that the accounting records provide a reliable basis for the preparation of financial statements, and that such financial statements are not misstated due to material fraud or error. Internal controls include the careful selection of employees, the proper segregation of duties and the communication and application of formal policies and procedures that are consistent with high standards of accounting and administrative practices. An important element of this system is a comprehensive internal audit and loss prevention program. Management continually reviews, modifies and improves its systems of accounting and controls in response to changes in business conditions and operations and in response to recommendations by the independent registered public accounting firm and reports prepared by the internal auditors. Management believes that it is essential for the Company to conduct its business affairs in accordance with the highest ethical standards and in conformity with the law. This standard is described in the Company's code of ethics, which is publicized throughout the Company.
As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q for quarter ended June 30 2012, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in periodic reports filed with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer also concluded that our controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to management including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Currently, and from time to time, we are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not a party to any lawsuit or proceedings that, in the opinion of our management and based on consultation with legal counsel, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Although you do have to do a bit of shopping to make these gifts, they're a terrific choice for children to make for Christmas (most children will be able to purchase the supplies with their own money from allowance or doing extra chores around the house).
The project can be done with hot chocolate (pictured to the right),
smarties, jelly beans or other candies. You can save any left over
bags to fill with mom or dad's favorite colors for birthdays, orange
jelly beans (with a green ribbon tie) for Easter or red candy hearts for
Valentine's Day. Also, the hot chocolate version can easily be
sold by kids for $5.00 per piece at Christmas craft sales or as a
holiday fund raiser.

But now Ebony needs money, not memories. Word is she owes her printer millions. According to media reports, there's a lien on her famous eleven-story headquarters in Chicago, overlooking Grant Park. The same park where some 200,000 people gathered to celebrate the realization of an Ebony reader's wildest dreams: the election of a black president.
Last year, Linda Johnson-Rice, chairman and CEO of the company and the daughter of Ebony's founder, John H. Johnson, was reportedly seeking a buyer—or a partner with deep pockets—to keep the magazine alive. (As this issue went to press, Bloomberg reported that NBA legend Magic Johnson was interested in buying the company.) Johnson-Rice declined to comment for this article. These are tough times for her company, the Johnson Publishing Company (JPC), and her family. Her mother, Eunice, who came up with the name Ebony, died in January at age ninety-three. Her father died in 2005. In a prepared statement, Wendy E. Parks, a company spokeswoman, said that the privately held JPC does not disclose in-depth financial information. "However," she said, "I assure you that, like any conservatively managed business, we are continuing to make strategic decisions we believe are prudent to help us weather the current economy."
The malady afflicting Ebony is an industry-wide epidemic: not enough advertising; not enough readers. "Ebony's readership is dying off and it's not being replaced,'' says Charles Whitaker, the Helen Gurley Brown Research Chair in Magazine Journalism at the Medill School at Northwestern University and a former editor at Ebony. "I don't see how they are going to make it. Ebony really has a tough road ahead.''
According to Whitaker, Ebony's circulation is around one million, and dropping fast. In the early 1990s, the circulation was about 1.8 million, he says. Although it has a Web site, EbonyJet.com, Whitaker says it has not done nearly enough with it to capture the young black audience. Like everyone else, these readers have many options in today's fragmented, Internet-driven media market, including the black-oriented, Time Warner-owned Essence magazine, Ebony's most direct competitor.
Richard Prince, author of the online column Journal-isms, says Ebony blew a perfect opportunity to make a new-media splash. It was Ebony that was given the first interview with President-elect Barack Obama. But instead of putting the interview on its Web site immediately, Ebony waited to publish it weeks later in the magazine, apparently concerned about hurting newsstand sales. In the meantime, the new president had sat down with 60 Minutes, which quickly put its interview on the air. "The whole effect of Ebony having the first interview was lost,'' Prince says. "They're so afraid of undermining the print product that they're falling behind.''
Yet in January, when the earth shook so violently beneath Haiti that Port-Au-Prince was reduced to rubble, Ebony's director of photography, Dudley Brooks, traveled to the devastated island, blogging and shooting pictures for EbonyJet.com:
It was close to an hour-long drive to Titayen, a village on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, where small convoys of dump trucks deposited the bodies of quake victims. I had heard stories that, earlier in the week, hundreds had been deposited there—amidst the garbage and debris. They were spread on the very field where Papa Doc Duvalier deposited the remains of his enemies years ago . Mass graves are easy to find—you follow the smell. It's an acrid, powerful, disturbing smell that, depending on the wind, can drift for miles. It stays in your nose hairs and saturates your clothes.
Powerful, timely, important stuff. That's not all. In the last few months Ebony and Jet have undergone attractive face lifts, with new features and a sleek new look. But is it too little, too late? Whitaker, the Medill professor, thinks it is. Three years ago, Whitaker turned the plight of his old employer into a class project for his graduate students. The assignment was how to save and rebrand Ebony for the twenty-first century. Company officials allowed the students access to some of Ebony's financial records, after requiring the class and the professor to sign a confidentiality agreement, Whitaker says. When the project was over, Whitaker says, he was "stunned'' at how poorly Ebony was doing. "The bleeding we saw three years ago is hemorrhaging now,'' he says. "There's no way to stanch that.''
Whitaker hopes he is wrong. He spent a total of ten years as an editor at Ebony between 1985 and 2002. "I became a journalist because I wanted to work for Ebony,'' he says. "It will be tough to see it go. It's an institution. But sometimes institutions become obsolete. If Ebony goes away, maybe it will allow someone else some room. Maybe it will give someone else incentive to replace it.''

> Expanding Sentinel Asia's Earth Observation Network
Right from the beginning of the Indian Space Program, disaster management has been designated as one of the important areas. Earlier, we were using geostationary satellites to observe this part of the world, to look at cloud patterns, cloud movement, etc. With years of experience we are now able to make advanced predictions on cyclone movement and heavy rainfall. Based on satellite information, we are now able to transmit warnings to the people who will be affected by such events, and to evacuate them immediately after or even before the incident. Also, we have used satellite data to create a database on flood-susceptible areas. So when floods occur, we can now carry out detailed investigation as to which areas are inundated and how we can lead the relief measures. So in this way, we have been using both low-orbit and geostationary satellites for disaster-warning and disaster-management purposes.
Right now, we have seven earth-observation satellites. Out of that I will rate our RESOURCESAT and CARTOSAT as unique. The RESOURCESAT gives multi-spectral camera images. It has a wide area coverage of up to 600 km at a time. So that can be used for monitoring the disasters as they occur. The CARTOSAT has an optical camera that can take high-resolution images. So these satellite constellations can definitely contribute to disaster management. Soon we will have a radar-imaging satellite of our own, which will provide an opportunity to look through the clouds, and enable day and night observation of disaster-prone areas.
India has a very rich and vibrant space program through which we are trying to use earth-observation satellites and communication satellites for various societal needs. But at the same time, many of our neighbors are not equally privileged with respect to resources in the space technology field. And when JAXA came out with the idea of having a disaster management support system, the Sentinel Asia program, we thought it a very noble cause and thought we should join hands with Japan in trying to evolve a common database to deal with disasters in other Asian countries. So this is a very good moment for India to make international contributions, and we hope this will be a very good example of international cooperation.
We hope to contribute to Sentinel Asia, not only by providing satellite data, but also in creating a database. This will provide, as well as remote sensing images, additional data on social parameters, distinguishing between urban areas, farmlands, woodlands and infrastructure such as roads. This information should be useful for medical teams working in disaster-hit areas. So by creating a big database for the whole Asian region, we hope to be able to send out warnings as well as disaster-management supports in emergency situations.
Communication plays a very important role, too. If we have satellites covering the area, we can use mobile communication systems. That could be one of the next steps India can take to make further contributions. Another important task is capacity-building. Training of the people in this region also becomes important. We already have the United Nations school for the Asia-Pacific region here in Dehradun, in northern India [the Centre for Space Science and Technology Education in Asia and the Pacific]. And that school can play a major role in training people in disaster management using space assets. Like this, India hopes to contribute in many ways to the Sentinel Asia project.

McDonald's Tests New TV Network the 'M' Channel in Its Restaurants
Seems burger behemoth McDonald's is now serving TV dinners. No, they aren't making frozen meals in sectioned trays. They are installing flat screens at 700 restaurants that will stay tuned to a customized channel for your dining pleasure.
The televisions will feature the new M Channel. The specially designed network will offer news, entertainment, local sports, and drive consumers to online shopping. According to the Associated Press, "M Channel's goal is to target different audiences at different times of day and be so area specific that a restaurant could show high school football game highlights to hometown fans."
More From Delish: Golden Arches Abroad: International McDonald's Menu Offerings
Similar to the extreme detail and research that goes into launching a new menu item, the TV concept has been in development for 8 years. McDonald's has even enlisted Hollywood heavyweight Mark Burnett (the producer behind "Survivor" and "The Voice") to provide content as well as Reelz Channel.
More From Delish: McDonald's Delays Return of McRib
The M Channel will launch in a small percentage of McD's, but the fast-food chain hopes to expand to all 14,000 nationwide and eventually abroad. That decision will ultimately depend on the franchisees.
Do you want to watch the M Channel in your local McDonald's?

News: SENESCO Marine Gives "Albatross" a Facelift
Most research ships don't live to see there 40's, and to approach 50 is very rare indeed. But the Albatross IV is quite an exception to this rule. Today, thanks to a recent overhaul at SENESCO Marine's (formerly SENESCO) repair facility in Quonset Point, Rhode Island, the vessel is back at its home base in Woods Hole, Mass., preparing to head back out to sea for another 5-7 years of ocean exploration. SENESCO Marine began its a overhaul on the Albatross IV at the company's Quonset Point headquarters in December 2002. Launched in 1962, the Albatross IV is the second oldest in a fleet of 15 research vessels used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The ship, based in Woods Hole, MA, normally conducts fisheries and oceanographic studies in the Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, and the continental shelf/slope from Southern New England to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. It also serves in NOAA's "Teacher At Sea" program, allowing schoolteachers on board to see science come to life and then to bring that knowledge back to their classrooms. "A ship like ours typically receives routine maintenance a few times a year," Albatross IV Commander Michael S. Abbott explained in a recent interview. "However, a major repair project, like the one that's being performed at SENESCO Marine, usually takes about 6 or 7 months and only happens once or twice in a ship's lifetime."
