Ratatat (Mike Stroud and Evan Mast) are pleased to announce the release of LP4 through XL Recordings on June 8, 2010. LP4 is the follow up to LP3 which was released to worldwide critical acclaim in July 2008.
The album, their fourth for XL, was conceived following the prolific LP3 recording sessions at Old Soul Studios, in rural upstate New York and much of the album was ultimately was recorded there as well. And while the albums were born in the same studio LP4 is by no means an extension of its predecessor. The band describe LP4 as a 'weirder' listen than LP3, with a much braver approach to the arrangements. Ratatat incorporated even more sounds and instruments into the mix on this album, working for the first time with a full string section, which they recorded at Glassworks Studios in Manhattan.
The album also features a number of spoken word interludes, one taken from Werner Herzog's 1977 film 'Stroszek' in which the lead character Bruno S describes the keyboards he owns. The other samples are all courtesy of Linda Manz, the child actress who achieved cult status on the back of her debut appearance in Terence Mallick's 1978 classic 'Days of Heaven'. She went on to star in 'The Wanderers' and 'Out of the Blue', before disappearing for many years to resurface briefly in Harmony Korine's 'Gummo'.
While trying to clear the spoken word sample from 'Days of Heaven', Evan unexpectedly ended up on the phone with Linda herself. The call resulted in a trip to Linda's house, where he recorded an interview with her, excerpts from which make up the remaining vocal snippets.
Since the release of LP3 the band has toured relentlessly playing shows as far away as Vietnam, China and Cambodia, and selling out bigger venues than ever before. Ratatat's US touring ended with two sold out nights at New York's Terminal 5, playing to over 6,000 people.
The period in between albums also saw Ratatat's sideline in hip-hop production develop from a hobby into mainstream commercial success, with two tracks featured on Kid Cudi's debut album. One of these tracks was the single 'Pursuit of Happiness', which the band performed live on Letterman with Cudi in September of 2009.Apr 9Beer & Ballet - Spring 2015 Edition

Here is an update about Lucky 13's progress to date:

Date: June 17, 2013]]>
The test, approved by the FDA in September 2013, can analyze genes in Stage I–III tumors to predict how likely a patient is to stay cancer-free for 10 years after surgery and hormone therapy. Tumors with certain genetic features are more likely to come back, meaning that the patient probably needs chemotherapy or other more aggressive treatments to prevent a relapse.
For years, clinical pathologists have classified breast cancers by whether the cancerous cells have estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, HER2 receptors, or none of the above. The new test, called Prosigna, is different—it's based on 50 genes identified by Perou's lab as being key to breast cancer. The lab divides breast cancers into four types based on those 50 genes. The four genetic types don't always match up with the previous types based on receptors—20-25 percent of breast cancers, Perou says, have genetic profiles different from what you'd expect based on the type of receptors they have. It's not that one test is right and the other is wrong, he says—they just provide different types of information.
He and his collaborators are still in the process of getting FDAapproval to use Prosigna to classify breast cancer by those four types. It's already approved for that use in the European Union, but right now it can only be used in the United States for the 10-year prediction of relapse in patients with hormone-receptor-positive cancer. To get the test approved as a new way for clinicians to categorize cancers, the lab is studying genetic data on thousands of old tumor samples, checking to see if their test correctly predicts how different patients responded to treatments.
For example, they've studied a drug called epirubicin that is typically given to women with metastatic breast cancer. Epirubicin helps some patients, but not all, and it can also have serious side effects. Perou's lab analyzed the tumor genetics of women who'd taken epirubicin in previous studies, and found that the test could identify which breast cancers turned out to respond well to the drug.
"Breast cancer isn't a singular disease," Perou says. "It's four or five diseases—maybe more." For example, triple-negative breast cancer—the type without hormone or HER2 receptors—is genetically more like ovarian cancer than it's like other breast cancers. Perou and collaborators on the Cancer Genome Atlas proved that last year. His lab is still identifying more genes that may be good targets for breast-cancer drugs.
"Breast-cancer treatment is already some of the most advanced in terms of personalized medicine," Perou says. "It's going to keep getting more and more complicated as we better understand the genetics."
Charles Perou is the May Goldman Shaw Distinguished Professor of Molecular Oncology in the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, and a professor in the Department of Genetics and the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the School of Medicine. UNC collaborators on this work included geneticist Joel Parker and Perou lab research associate Maggie Cheang. Perou and others who developed Prosigna at Washington University, the University of Utah, and the BC Cancer Agency in Canada have a company called Bioclassifier LLC, which licensed the test to NanoString Technologies.

We can always kill cancer cells, says medical physicist Sha Chang. Always. It doesn't matter where the tumor is.
The problem, of course, is that what kills the tumor can also kill the patient. Chang has spent 15 years trying to perfect external-beam radiation therapy—changing dosages, adjusting the angle of the beam—and she knows all too well that she'll never get it right. The radiation will always damage healthy tissue.
That's why she has another plan—one based on a discovery scientists made 50 years ago. There's a way to deliver a high dose of radiation via thin x-ray microbeams, harming so little of the surrounding tissue that the body would barely notice. No one's been doing this because no one had equipment that could produce the microbeams. Now, Chang and her colleagues have built a machine that can do it—and that they think may one day replace the radiation we use to destroy cancer.

In the 1970s, when biologists first glimpsed the landscape of human genes, they saw that the small pieces of DNA that coded for proteins (known as exons) seemed to float like bits of wood in a sea of genetic gibberish. What on earth were those billions of other letters of DNA there for? No less a molecular luminary than Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA's double-helical structure, suspected it was "little better than junk."
The phrase "junk DNA" has haunted human genetics ever since. In 2000, when scientists of the Human Genome Project presented the first rough draft of the sequence of bases—or code letters—in human DNA, the initial results appeared to confirm that the vast majority of the sequence—perhaps 97 percent of its 3.2 billion bases—had no apparent function.
But new findings, some of which were outlined in that Scientific American article, have demonstrated that "junk DNA" is a term that should be tossed in the garbage. Some of it turns out to be rather important.
According to UNC pharmacologist Zefeng Wang and his colleagues, about 10 percent of each gene is responsible for producing the proteins that make the cells do what they're supposed to do. Those producer regions are called exons.
But there's another process that contributes to how genes function and why diseases occur: gene assemblage, or how genes are spliced together. That process, which Wang and colleagues describe in the January 2013 issue of Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, can involve exons or introns—the long stretches of genetic material that make up about 90 percent of a single gene.
Introns have been referred to as the dark matter of genetic code—or junk DNA—because introns are cut out and destroyed during the process by which genes express their functions. So scientists haven't been able to deduce what introns do, until now.
Wang's team has found that bits of the intronic region can recruit protein factors that play roles in the splicing process.
"It turns out that the sequencing element in both exons and introns can regulate the splicing process," Wang says. "We call it the splicing code, which is the information that tells the cell to splice one way or the other. And now we can look at these variant DNA sequences in the intron to see if they really affect splicing, or change the coding pattern of the exon and, as a result, protein function."

Ned Sharpless, a geneticist at UNC's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, researches the role of a protein called p16 in aging and cancer.
We humans typically have more p16 in certain cell lines in certain parts of our bodies. In some cells, p16 increases a lot as we age. And that's good because p16 is a tumor suppressor.
Here's how we explained it in a 2011 Endeavors feature:
When a carcinogen such as cigarette smoke enters the body, it can damage cells and alter DNA "Say you have ten cells with equal risk of becoming cancer," Sharpless says. "Eight cells take in a carcinogen, but not enough of it, and spit it out. Nothing happens to those cells; their p16 stays the same. One of the cells takes in the carcinogen, is really damaged, and p16 is activated. P16 stops that cell from dividing. It's in jail, never to be heard from again." The tumor suppressor is working, and p16 increases manyfold.
So pharmaceutical companies developed drugs that mimic p16 with the hope they'd crush cancer cells. But the drugs offered lackluster results. Sharpless found out why.
In the above example, cigarette smoke does not damage eight cells. It does damage a ninth cell, but p16 activates and stops the cell from dividing. But with that tenth cell, there's a problem, Sharpless tells us:
"That tenth cell takes in the carcinogen and DNA is damaged, but p16 is not activated for one of two reasons—the DNA damage is not the kind that activates p16, or the carcinogen mutates the p16 gene so that the protein is not induced. In either event, that cell is significantly damaged and well on its way to becoming cancer."
So p16 drugs don't work as well as scientists had hoped. But while Sharpless was conducting that research, his lab created a way to measure the level of p16 in T cells. This could help doctors pinpoint a person's molecular age, which would help doctors determine how patients would handle specific treatments or procedures. Also, he found that the p16 drugs protected mice from the ravages of radiation and chemotherapy.
Now, Sharpless has found another way to exploit the relevance of p16.
His lab genetically engineered mice so that when they begin to express p16, they start to glow, which is barely visible without a special type of camera. The mice glow more as they age, and they glow even more when p16 goes into overdrive while trying to stop cells from dividing.
This means that the mice began glowing just as cancer was starting to develop.
If Sharpless had tried to detect cancer in the mice with traditional methods, he would've had to wait 100 days. That's an astounding time difference, considering how important early detection is for cancer patients.
Here's the upshot: no one will make humans glow—at least Sharpless won't—but there could be a day when a doctor measures the amount of p16 in the T cells of a patient. The measurement could be part of an early detection system. Treatments could be used to battle cancer cells before they form the sorts of tumors that are hardest to destroy.
Ned Sharpless is a professor of medicine and genetics in the School of Medicine and the Wellcome Distinguished Professor of Cancer Research and Deputy Director at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Ovarian cancer is usually detected at a late stage when a woman's chance of surviving beyond five years drops below 45 percent. According to Gehrig, 80 percent of women with advanced ovarian cancer will relapse, and many of those who choose to continue treatment will ultimately receive the nanoparticle drug Doxil (liposomal doxorubicin).
Although the drug is effective, Gehrig can never tell which patients will have to stop treatment due to its painful side effects, like oral ulcers or debilitating swelling of hands and feet. So when she first saw William Zamboni's research on Doxil during his interview at UNC in 2006, she was excited about starting a collaboration.

The Who Kicks Off Second North American Leg Tonight
Monday, January 28, 2013
The Who kicks off the second leg of its Quadrophenia & More tour tonight (January 28th) at Anaheim, California's Honda Center. The 17-date trek will wind down on February 26th at Providence, Rhode Island's Dunkin' Donuts center. According to the Pete Townshend online fan community The Shout (p073.ezboard.com/btheshout), the Who will play a private benefit show on February 28th at New York City's Theatre at Madison Square Garden. According to online reports, a "V.I..P ticket is $2,500.00, which includes an exclusive cocktail party and deluxe tour merchandise." No official announcement has been made yet by the band.
Pete Townshend told us that Quadrophenia was never intended to be an easy listen, with it's lead character, "Jimmy," facing very real changes in drastic way: "He cast off religion, family, work, politics -- and of course, rock n' roll. He cast off everything -- the Mod movement, fashion, girls, the lot. And he ends up in a very bereft place. But it's a new beginning for him. So, although it's not a proper symphonic-through, composed piece of work, it's as close as I'm ever gonna get in my entire life.'
We asked Roger Daltrey, who's embodied the soul of both the Who's rock operas many times live onstage, if there are any definitive similarities between singing Tommy and Quadrophenia: "Not really, they're very different pieces. Quadrophenia was much more just Pete. He had this idea, and the songs, y'know, were all Pete's songs on Quadrophenia, so it was much more a Pete animal than Tommy ever was."

JX2 Online
JX2 Online Overview
JX2 Online is a 2.5D fantasy MMORPG set in ancient China. Like 9Dragons, players must chose between several sects (also known as clans) which determine which skills they have access to. The game is available to English speaking players thanks to a Malaysian server, though the translations aren't the best quality. JX2 also known as Glory of Master has an isometric camera view and an interface that should be familiar to action RPG or oldschool MMORPG veterans. New players can chose from four body types (2 male, 2 female) when creating their character, but must wait until level 10 before joining a sect. Each sect has multiple specializations available which mean JX2 Online has a ton of character specialization options.
Sects - Beggar, EMei, ShaoLin, Tang Clan, WuDang, Yang Family, Five Poison, Emerald Mist, Kun Lun, Ming Cult

The game is published by the Malaysian MMO publisher Game-Flier, but since there are no IP-Restrictions, anyone anywhere in the world can access JX2 Online. Since the game is hosted in Malaysia, players in North America and Europe may experience high latency while they're online, but the game is still playable. The game originally released back in late 2006, but based on the game's graphics, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think the game was developed back in 2001, as the game's graphics leave a lot to be desired.
Starting Out
After downloading and installing JX2 Online, the game doesn't start off on a good foot. Players create their character simply by choosing one of four body types (2 male and 2 female) with absolutely no appearance customization. Like Ragnarok Online and Fly For Fun, players do not select their classes right away. Upon reaching level 10 in JX2 Online, players will be given the option of joining one of the game's 10 "sects" (also called clans) which serve as classes; the 10 sects in the game are Beggar, Emei, ShaoLin, Tang Clan, WuDang, Yang Family, Five Poison, Emerald Mist, Kun Lun and Ming Cult. Each Sect in the game has its own unique set of skills and abilities. Keep in mind, each of the four starting body types have one "sect" restriction each, so pay close attention to which body type you're choosing when creating your character. The whole sect thing is remarkably familiar to 9Dragons from GamersFirst and Dragon Oath from ChangYou, as both of these games feature the same sects.
Upon actually creating your character, the first few quests in JX2 Online are rather dull. Players must run around town talking to certain NPCs. It sounds easy, but since quest locations aren't clearly marked on the game's map, simple quests like "Go talk to the weapon's dealer" could become extremely frustrating. The starting quests are well worth doing, even though they can be frustrating to complete. Players should be about level 3 or 4 and have some basic equipment by the time they have to leave town to start killing enemies.
Poor Interface
One thing I couldn't stand in JX2 Online was the game's interface. It is completely unintuitive and difficult to use. Quest locations aren't marked on the radar or map, it's impossible to tell exactly what level enemies are, looting feels tedious and the interface itself looks like it's from the 1990s. It's tough to enjoy a game when you dislike its interface, as a game's interface, in my opinion, is vital to its success. It doesn't have to be superb, but a game with a poor interface is very difficult to get into. Players move around the game world via point and click.
Extremely Easy
Few few MMORPGs are "challenging", but JX2 Online is one of the easiest MMORPGs out there. Why you ask? Because the enemies in the game are ridiculously easy. Whether you're fighting a low level rabbit or a high level zombie, enemies are extremely slow. You can easily walk away from any monster without ever risking death, as the enemies move slower than a snail. The fact that the game is really easy isn't actually a surprise, as since the game is hosted in South East Asia, the game hasn't been localized for the West. Eastern games tend to be very grind heavy and extremely easy, while Western gamers demand more challenge. Perfect World Entertainment actually talked about this when explaining the challenges of localizing their games for Western audiences. On the topic of localizations, since the game is hosted in Malaysia, the English translations aren't perfect – but it's at least understandable. Upon leveling up players receive 5 stat points, which can be distributed to any of the game's 5 stats (STR, INT, VIT, AGI, OBS). Leveling up is extremely easy early on but slows down considerably after level 20 or so. The game's level cap is set around 99.
The visuals in JX2 Online are quite disappointing for a game that was released in late 2006. The graphics are actually quite similar to Conquer Online and EuDemons Online from TQ Digital, as they are 2D and isometric. Comparing JX2 Online and Conquer Online isn't exactly a fair comparison though, as Conquer Online has an enormous playerbase and a much better interface. In terms of attack animations, JX2 Online also dissapoints – as the game has only ONE attack animation per weapon when using regular attacks. On the positive side, certain skills in the game do look impressive – especially late game skills.
Grindy Gameplay
JX2 Online has a decent amount of starting quests, but when they're all completed, the best way to level up becomes mindlessly grinding. Many of the quests are repeatable, but they're all extremely grind oriented. On the positive side, JX2 Online has a good amount of variety in its character classes. As I mentioned earlier, players start as classless novices, but upon reaching level 10 can choose from one of 10 Sects in the game which act as classes. How many MMORPGs are there with 10+ playable classes? Not many. Another positive aspect of JX2 Online is that the game has an interesting Diablo 2-esque random item system. Monsters in the game sometimes drop rare unidentified items which once identified have randomized stats. Plus the game also has a basic resourcing gather and crafting system, which adds some variety to the game. Skills can begin being learned after reaching level 10.
PvP in JX2 Online is pretty brutal. Much like Darkfall Online and other PvP heavy games, players can pretty much PK each other anywhere in the game world aside from a few towns and some newbie zones. This means that a level 80+ character can PK a low level character just for fun. This makes training extremely dangerous, as anyone can jump your character at anytime. There are very few penalties for PK'ing random people, but if someone kills too many innocent people, their name becomes "red" and if they die while their name is "red" they have a chance of dropping some equipment.
Interesting Skill System… But Balance Issues…
Skills in JX2 Online are learned by trading in stored experience points. Once players reach a skill's level, fame and reputation requirements, they can trade in experience to learn that new skill. This is the same experience needed to gain new level. Some of the skills in the game aren't too balanced either, as the Emei sect has access to some of the most ridiculous AOE skills in the game, which allows them to level faster than the other classes in the game. On the topic of balance, some of the game's most powerful equipment (Weapons and armor) are only available through the game's cash shop, which puts non-paying players at a huge disadvantage. This is a big deal in JX2 Online, as the game has an open PvP system.
Final Verdict – Poor
For a game released in late 2006, JX2 Online is a disappointment. The game isn't all bad though, as it has 10+ playable classes and end game PvP which can feel rewarding and fun. Overall though, skip this one and try another MMORPG.

Second-generation Balkan War victims struggle with violence, substance abuse: UNH researcher says parents' lack of treatment for war trauma causing problems for children
Thursday, March 7, 2013
DURHAM — Second-generation teenage victims of the Balkan Wars (1991-2002) are struggling with violence and substance abuse due in large part because their parents were never treated for war trauma, according to new research from the University of New Hampshire.
French and researchers Goran Kovacevic of the University of Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Lidija Nikolic-Novakovic of the International University of Novi Pazar, Pancevo, Serbia, surveyed high school students in spring 2010 from three major sectarian groups in Bosnia-Herzegovina: Muslim Bosniaks, Catholic Croats, and Orthodox Serbs. The average age of the students was 16.5 years old. Students were asked about a number of issues, including substance abuse, physical health, mental health, family relations, and aggressive behavior/delinquency.
In contrast, family relations did not appear to be an issue for most of the teens, which the researchers believe is due to the cohesion of each sectarian enclave. "Ironically, the finding of strong family cohesion indicates that sectarian separatism is a major factor in school and family socialization, making postwar teens even more nationalistic than their parents who encountered the Balkan wars firsthand," French says.

Well, I have played the crap out of Black Ops and have finally decided to break it's crack-like hold on me and get some new games. One I ordered, which is due in the mail today is Crysis 2. Anyone played it? Thoughts?
Hey! What're you kicking me for? You want me to ask? All right, I'll ask! Ma'am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?
I'm on the fence about getting a 3DS. Nintendo really dropped the ball on the launch of this thing. No "must-have" launch titles and very, very few demos to test the system out. I want to see the thing in action before I decide if I want to plunk down $250 on it or not.
Methinks they've become complacent and, from what I can see, it's hurting sales.
The two biggest things are the price and no demo units. I got to see one the other day but it was only because the gal at Gamestop let me check hers out.
I haven't, but a friend just finished and enjoyed it so much he's gonna play through it again, which he almost never does.

I've played 15 minutes of it so far...still waiting to finish Dragon Age II before I get into it....it seems like it'll be a fun game from what i've experienced so far...also looks amazing on the PC.
coming towards the end of Dragon Age II it seems from the way things have picked up and the title of the next mission/objective...
one thing I gotta mention is just how much I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with my companions. Its like everything i want to do, they hate me for it - I had long ago decided to be as stubborn as they are with their decisions and take the consequences....looking for a fun finale of the game...
Yeah, it's fun to have rivarlies with your NPCs. The weird thing is that as a guy you can flirt with pretty much any other guy in the game I'm not against 1-2 options but I think I had more chances to sleep with men than with women. Whatever lol
As for Crysis 2. I think it's a lot better than the original Crysis.
Firstly, the game runs SO much better. The lowest settings have Crysis 1 graphics with better FPS. The overall plot also gets a lot more interesting. The gameplay is a lot more fast.
I didn't like how they handled some of the objectives though, and sometimes it felt like "Just go to point A, wait for something to happen, go to point B...." etc. Without any real explanations. And I guess the characters around you don't really develop. But overall it's a great game.
With the #3 pick in the 2015 draft, your Indiana Pacers!
Finished Dragon Age II - spent 40 hours on it...now gonna check out youtube for how things would happen if I were to pick other decisions...
Still working on Call Of Duty 2 on Veteran... was gonna finish it up Sunday, but me and my girl scored some tickets for the game.
Found any "real" weapons?
Borrowed Black Ops from a friend and just finished the campaign. Wow Treyarch, way to make the Modern Warfare narrative look coherent and cogent by comparison.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
Anyone that likes StarCraft II go and checkhttp://www.nasl.tv
Its a new star league based here in the states (which is huge). It started last night and has top players from all over the world. I'm actually a writer for the league too.
There is a free low quality (about 480p, looks pretty good) broadcast tuesdays-saturdays starting at 8:30pm. You can get HD for $25 per season which is like three months long and also get HD VODs too.
I haven't finished it yet, but I always take the rude a-hole route with the dialogues and it is quite fun.
This game got so many bad reviews from players, but I love it. It is one of the best games I have played and it looks fantastic with the high res textures and the player made texture mod in DX11.
If you don't know about it check out this player made texture mod. It improves the detail alot on top of the high res texture pack released by Bioware.
More Skyrim goodness. It's gonna be enormous!

Video Poker
by Masque Publishing
Build the best hand you can in this classy game of free Video Poker here at Games.com. The stakes are high, but the cost is low, so go for broke. Click "DEAL" to receive your five-card hand, then choose which cards to "HOLD" before you draw again. Try to find pairs, opportunities for straights (sequences of cards), go for three-of-a-kind, or try for a flush (a hand of all the same suit). Whether you're in it to win it or just for a minute, it's never a gamble to say that Video Poker is always a great time. CHEATS & TIPS: Virtually Go for Broke: Whenever you have the opportunity for a great hand in Video Poker, it is almost always worth taking. After all, your wins will only benefit your mind, not your pocket, and the same approach can be taken for your losses. So if you have the opportunity for a full house or flush, what've you go to lose? Playing to Win: Since card table Poker is about guessing your opponents' hands and bluffing about your own, Video Poker is more about predicting the luck of the draw. As such, if you look to rack up a good run of "wins," don't be concerned with the quality of each win. If you don't want to go for broke, try to focus on getting those two pairs whenever you can. Be willing to ditch the higher cards for the safer bets to increase your likelihood of winning.

✰ тнє ƒσυя cσℓσя cαƒє ✰
the Premise.
So here's how it is.
Gaia was a sprawling metropolis for the community, eventually dividing into her great cities of Barton, Gambino, Durem, and Aekea. While likes spread to likes all over the place, each haven gained an identity and affinity: Barton for the hardworking, talented. Gambino for the rich and extravagant. Durem for the cool and the new. Aekea for the tech and the innovation. And while these great cities grew, they eventually spread so far that all of these diverse communities eventually ended at one point. This point happens to be тнє ƒσυя cσℓσя cαƒє, a comic book shop/breakfast in bed deal. I know it may sound a little bit outlandish, but we couldn't really decide on what to build, so we decided to throw caution to the wind and build them all!
тнє ¢αƒє
A clear tone sounds throughout the café as the heavy oaken door knocks around the tiny welcome bell, tinkling its greetings as you walk into the homey fire lit room. The logs from the fireplace crackle cheerily in response as you take in your surroundings. To your left is a large wooden café area, almost like an Irish pub, with a heavy lacquered bar housing gleaming brass coffee machines and mugs of various shapes and sizes. On your right is a slightly smaller area, full of bookshelves with all the books and comics you can imagine, bean bags, couches, a fireplace, and a counter with a computer. The walls are decorated with framed books, comics, instruments, and even bizarre contraptions. In front of you is a large staircase leading up into darkness, the top grabbing your attention in a way that would shout for you to explore! As you take another step forwards, a small cough catches your ear behind you as the wooden door closes, revealing a tall, thin man with a friendly smile and eyes that match the dancing sparks in the fireplace.
Hello. I am Moo, owner & proprietor of тнє ƒσυя cσℓσя cαƒє, est. 2012. Wherever you come from, we got something of that here. Whether it is comics or anime, a good cup of coffee and delicious home cooked food, a stable internet connection, or just a warm bed and a roof over your head, we got it. Don't got much else, but we get by. So stop on in, grab a comic and a cup of joe, whip out your laptop, or even check into our very modest rooms, and enjoy your stay!
