God this looks so amazing O.o
Inferno: Alliance Standalone is an indie game which will serve as a remake of the old Inferno: Alliance, a mod for FreeSpace 2 SCP released back in 2006. Just like its predecessor, INFASA will merge Inferno's typical style with FreeSpace 1's atmosphere.
The first INFASA minicampaign, The Spirit of Ptah, has been revealed to the public. The campaign will use Inferno: Alliance's FSPort Mode.
Posted by Mobius89 on Aug 4th, 2009
1. The Spirit of Ptah, a newly revealed INFASA minicampaign
It's been widely known for a long time that the main INFASA campaign is based on the Post-Great War Sol system. That is true, but the main INFASA campaign will not focus on Sol, only - INFASA's modpack will feature extended Vasudan and Shivan fleets which will be used in a variety of minicampaigns.
The Spirit of Ptah, a campaign based on the Hammer of Light insurgency, is the first INFASA minicampaign to be revealed to the public. Just like the other campaigns, is scheduled to be released with INFASA and take full advantage of the mod's recent graphical upgrades. The Spirit of Ptah (shortened to TSoP) also marks the INF Team's successful attempt at creating a fully functional FSPort mode for INFASA, which will enable players to use FSPort settings to boost the gaming experience. TSoP has been planned and designed for the specific purpose of being played with the FSPort mode.
2. The GTD Ixion's task
The player's home base in TSoP will be the GTD Ixion, an Orion-class destroyer. The Ixion has been ordered by GTA Command to reach the Vasuda system and help a PVN fleet as it attempts to defeat a consistent HoL force. No one expects, however, that the HoL have secretly developed and built a new class of bombers, the Sekhmet, and a familiar foe to all Inferno players - the PVSD Het-Ka.
Just like the Terran Megaera, constructed in Sol, the Het-Ka is a successful attempt to create a warship capable of using beam weapons. With the Het-Ka in the hands of the HoL, things are not going to favor the newly formed alliance between the GTA and PVN. In TSoP, the player will assist the Ixion as it enters the Vasuda system and takes part to a series of missions whose objective is eradicating the HoL threat.
3. TSoP, a fully cutscened campaign
The FreeSpace Open engine allows mission designers to create take off, jump and landing cutscenes, but an extensive use of such features (like the one seen in StarLancer and other comparable games) is not known to be particurarly loved by FreeSpace fans.
Due to its nature of minicampaign, however, TSoP will take full advantage of cutscenes. They will be used in each mission to show the player taking off or landing, and will also be used in important situations (when cinematics are a must).
4. Screenshot from TSoP's first mission
All screenshots refering to TSoP will have "[TSoP] -" at the beginning of their names. 17 of them have been already added to INFASA's mod profile here on ModDB:
Introduction cutscene - arrival of the Ixion
The Ixion enters the Vasuda system.
Vasuda system background by Mobius
TSoP will feature an exclusive background for the Vasuda system, specificately created for the campaign by Mobius (Mobius89 here on ModDB).
First encounter with HoL forces
The Ixion and its fighter escort face a small HoL strike force.
More HoL units arrive to attack the Ixion
A much larger HoL strike force suddenly appears to threaten the Orion destroyer.
The PVN escort complement arrives
PVN escort wings finally arrive to protect the GTD Ixion from additional HoL attacks.
Landing cutscene
At the very end of the mission, the player and the other surviving escort fighters are authorized to land on the Ixion for debriefing.
GTD Ixion nameplate by Rodo
Thanks to Rodo, the GTD Ixion now has its own nameplate.
God this looks so amazing O.o
Thanks, I really appreciate your compliment. I intend to go beyond and create more backgrounds of that kind. :-)
We don't use such backgrounds in the main INFASA campaign because it's an INF tradition to use a more "realistic" background for the Sol system. I thought it was a wise choice, but its consequences on eyecandy were noticeable (especially after looking at what the INF Team can do with backgrounds) until we added the milky way starmap, which can be seen in all screenshots taken from the main INFASA campaign.
I suggest to look forward to INFASA's features - TSoP will not be the only minicampaign to be released with INFASA. ;-)

Despite widespread reports of a blooming manufacturing renaissance in the U.S., there is a lack of statistics that support the notion, economists say. "There's simply no statistical evidence of a broader renaissance at this point," said MAPI's chief economist, Daniel J. Meckstroth, who says warning signs for the industry include a factory-opening rate that is declining more quickly than the rate of factories closing.

BOSTON – Peter Bourjos is coming back today.
Bourjos, who has been out since April 30 because of a strained hamstring, had two plate appearances, including a walk, in a game for Triple-A Salt Lake City on Sunday, and then he hopped a plane to meet the Angels in Baltimore.
Manager Mike Scioscia said Bourjos will be activated and in the lineup, although he wouldn't say which position he'll be playing. Scioscia had insisted that he would return Bourjos to center and move Mike Trout back to left, despite Trout's preference for center field.
J.B. Shuck is likely to head back to the Angels bench after filling in for Bourjos. Shuck hit .259 in six weeks filling in for Bourjos, although he has just seven hits in his last 37 at-bats.
"With Pete coming back – he's a fantastic player – I'll go back to hopefully being on the bench," Shuck said. "Hopefully I can get back in a groove with the bat, and when my chance comes, hopefully I can fill in."
The Angels will have an interesting roster move to make to clear space for Bourjos. Of the non-catchers on the bench – Chris Nelson, Brendan Harris, Brad Hawpe and Shuck – only Shuck can be optioned to the minors. Any of the others would need to be designated for assignment, and exposed to being claimed by another team.
Albert Pujols was hit in the ribs by Ryan Dempster in his plate appearance after he belted his eighth career homer against Dempster, most of any pitcher he has faced. Pujols had a few words with Dempster as he walked to first.
"I know Dempster, he's a great dude, and I'm pretty sure he didn't mean to do it," Pujols said, "but it just didn't look right after my first at-bat. With the base open to try to come in up and in, I didn't appreciate it. I let him know. I told him that wasn't right."
Josh Hamilton said he's all for Scioscia's new lineup, with him batting second.
"It's exciting," Hamilton said. "Batting between Trout and Pujols is not a bad place to be. I like it."
Hamilton, however, vehemently rejected the notion that he would see any more fastballs in that spot.
"No, absolutely not," he said, adding that the only impact on a pitcher of having Trout on first is that he might be "a little more distracted. They might be more apt to make a mistake, but the pitcher has a plan for you, no matter who is behind you or in front of you."
Hamilton went hitless in five at-bats on Sunday, after going 2 for 9 in the doubleheader on Saturday.

I live in Siesta Key, Florida and spend months at a time at 'One Rhythm Villa' in Jamaica. Doing this, I feel good and at home...I am grateful..I always Love it when family and friends find their way for a visit...
I especially favor this location because it is private, quiet and on the seaside.I Love the Sea. When I first came upon this area, it was an instant knowing for me that I would one day be at home here in Jamaica. That was almost 15 years ago. When I first saw the Sea, it was full of so many different shades of turquoise that I could not look away.... so I just sat in gratitude of the beauty surrounding me & took it all in.
One Rhythm Villa opens up to the outside gardens and sitting areas, it is like having a flower garden inside. There is a gentle sea breeze that flows through the villa most all day. Jamaica gives me the feeling that I am always in Love.....I am blessed!

to me
Hello Karen!
Just wanted to write as I have been thinking about your home and community in Jamaica constantly since returning in the spring. The time spent there with Annette and Johnny will forever be in our hearts. Those two people are some of the best that we have ever had the pleasure of spending time with . Their gifts of connection and intuition in being with new people are really incredible. I can't imagine that there would be anyone who could fill Annettes's shoes as far as providing the level of insight, kind support and hospitality that she does.
Brian and I are dreaming about when we can come back! Trelawny is a most special community and the way of life and perspective of the folks that we have spent time with there have been an inspiration to us since we have come back. The trip really highlighted the blessings and shortcomings of our own life and community in such a powerful way. I only wish that we could travel back to Jamaica more often...
I can't wait to send an email with some dates that we would love to come back to your home. The next time we will bring some friends. I can't wait to share this community and your home with some friends or family.
Hope you are well. Thanks again for creating a portal to such a lovely community and culture for us. I could have never imagined that a vacation could have such an impact on our life!
Michelle (and Brian) Higginson
Karen, just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our 2nd stay at One Rhythm, and our 3rd year in Duncan's Bay!!!
Your villa is so beautiful and peaceful... a perfect vacation for us.... the relaxation we needed!!!!
Ms Annette made our time there like the pictures in a storybook. She took care of us 24 hours a day. She anticipated our needs. Her meals were so awesome that we took pictures of every one! Even when the seas were rough she managed to find fish and lobster for us to enjoy. She played and taught us Jamaican Dominoes and strategies at night... Fun!!! Even when she was off, she always went into town and procured what we would need for the day. She swept the beach every morning. She wanted to make sure her guests had a clean beach. Of course we cried when we had to leave her!
Ralston, a local fisherman, took my husband out fishing and to check his traps....what an awesome experience!!! He also caught fish, which Ms Annette cooked for us.
Andrew was also great! He was very dependable and took us from the airport and back, and also treated us to an excursion into the hills so that we could see the real Jamaica, and then to the Bend Down Market…. A must see!
We went snorkeling twice with Mashtoq, and experienced the local reggae music at Leroy's on both Saturday nights. Ms Annette went with us to Leroy's on our last night, which was especially nice.
The people there really respect you, Karen, and are appreciative all you have done for their community.
We felt very special to have stayed in your villa..... the BEST in Duncan's Bay!
Thank you again for allowing us to rent your beautiful, peaceful villa, the most restful place in the world......
I am sure we will return again... it is our special place in Jamaica.
One love.
Wow what a vacation! The best ever! We've been to Jamaica many times but it was our first visit to one rhythm villa by the sea. Our villa was literally steps from the beach. We could hear the waves from our bedroom. How romantic. Miles of beach to comb without anyone to disturb us. Ms Annette was the best! She cooked special meals for my husband because of his dietary needs. We had everything we could have wanted. We ate fresh fish from the fishing village on the beach that ms Annette cooked to perfection. She really took care of all our needs. It was like living with a good friend for the week. Our driver Johnny took us to out of the way locations, which is exactly what we were looking for. I really enjoyed seeing his friend Jah Five's garden and spending time talking. His garden was amazing! Ms Annette had a local artist come to the house and he painted me a picture of Leroy's bar. Blaze(Shain) has real talent. What a gem of a villa, but the staff made our vacation great. Can't say enough good things! I'll be going back for sure. Would love my son and his girlfriend to see it. Maybe this July. Can't wait!
My family just returned from the most awesome vacation ever! Where do I begin? From the moment we got through customs and found our driver Johnny Blaze waiting for us, our stay just got better and better. He's a really cool guy. When we arrived at One Rhythm, the perfect vacation villa, we were met by Ms Annette, who made sure we had everything we needed and that our stay was all we wanted it to be. She walked us a few steps to the beach, and we took in the beauty of the Caribbean. She also introduced us to all the vendors and crafts people who work and sell by the beach. Ms Annette is a warm, friendly, kind woman who must be the best cook in Jamaica! Stew chicken, jerk chicken, fish, patties, fritters, vegetables, fruit, and more – each dish better than the next. So good! In fact, one night when we planned to go into Montego Bay for dinner, my granddaughter said she only wanted to eat Ms Annette's cooking. Johnny knew so much about the people, the culture, the history, the music, and the land, and he shared all that with us. One of the highlights (and there are so many) was our beautiful, winding drive up the mountain to Accompong, a village in St. Elizabeth's Parish in the heart of Cockpit Country where enslaved Africans escaped, successfully fought the British, signed a peace treaty in 1739 that granted them autonomy and created a nation within a nation, and built a community where they and their descendants freely practiced their African traditions. These traditions continue to be practiced today. Once there, we sat under the 200+ year old Kindah tree where Cudjoe, the leader, united the runaway Africans (called Maroons) in their fight against the British and from where we could see the expanse and beauty of the country and mountains–a truly spiritual experience. Members of the community welcomed us and shared not only their proud history but also their present achievements. We met many local people, visited the school, met the principal, watched as the children prepared for a sporting event, saw the library that had just been built, and visited the museum. This is a trip that most tourists do not make, but I highly recommend it. I could go on and on because we had so many wonderful experiences while staying at One Rhythm, but it all comes down to Ms Annette and Johnny. We cannot thank them enough for helping us get a glimpse of the history, the culture, and the people of Jamaica and cannot wait to come back. Until then, One Love and Respect!
We just spent 6 fantastic days at One Rhythm. The house and location (just a short walk to a gorgeous beach) were perfect. Ms. Annette was a wonderful hostess and an amazing cook. She was able to facilitate everything we wanted to do. Johnny Blaze, the driver, was a great guy. Not only was he a top notch driver, he was an insightful tour guide with a vast knowledge of Jamaican flora and fauna, culture, and history. The location is off the beaten track, but there's a friendly bar/club a short walk down the beach. There's also a whole row of local souvenir vendors and craftspersons, including some really talented woodcarvers, located just off the beach. The town of Duncans has local markets and a post office, and the ride to Montego Bay is about half an hour. We had a tremendous experience in this beautiful villa and on the serene beach, but the best part of One Rhythm was meeting Ms. Annette & Johnny. They gave us a warm welcome and a true feel for the real Jamaica. Can't wait to return.
From beginning to end, One Rhythm and Miss Annette were wonderful, just the winter getaway we needed for two couples. Our welcoming dinner was delicious local foods, which continued meal after meal from Miss Annette's kitchen - fresh fish, lobster, banana fritters, fresh vegetables and fruit. Don't miss trips to the Duncans' grocery store and Falmouth market with Miss Annette. We rented a car at the airport to explore the island, and Miss Annette always had good suggestions on when and where to go - we were the first rafts down the Martha Brae thanks to her tip - a leisurely jungle float with parrots chattering in the trees. Nice estate tour and high tea at Good Hope Estate, only about 25 minutes from One Rhythm - we had the place to ourselves while most tourists did the zip line or 4x4 tour. We drove over the Cockpit Country to visit the Appleton Rum Factory on the south side - a crazy drive, but a true glimpse of the real Jamaica - small towns, jungle valleys, windy roads, children in smartly pressed uniforms walking to school. Skip the GPS - the same friendly rural taxi driver gave us directions when we got lost, and thirty minutes later when we looped back around on another rutted lane - "Hey mon, I thought I told you to go to Jackson Town - you must like driving in the bush, mon!" Left side driving was pretty exciting - just take it slow and watch for goats and oncoming trucks.
The beach, steps away, was mostly deserted, perfect for long walks and swims in warm shallows, then back to watch the magnificent frigate birds catch morsels as the local fishermen cleaned the morning's catch outside Leroy's, the local beach bar. Don't miss the fried chicken there, with a bottle of Red Stripe. The small neighborhood behind the beach has only a couple dozen homes, with narrow gravel lanes - we birded one morning and saw parrotlets, olive chested parakeets, and vervain hummingbirds, the world's second smallest. Miss Annette's saffron finches flock to the backyard each morning just for her (and you!). Go snorkeling with Mushtaq - reef fish & more!
Tree frogs serenaded us at night, with the warm breeze shuffling the palm branches. The friendliness and generosity of everyone we met, from shopkeepers to tour guides, and every stranger along the street or beach - we felt welcomed at every turn, guests instead of mere tourists. As Tony, a local who sold crafts outside Leroy's said with a big smile and a thumb rub to me, "Hey mon, it's about respect, mon!"
This was our 4th trip to Duncan's Bay, and our 3rd consecutive year's stay at One Rhythm. There is no other place in the world for us to have the restful, peaceful vacation that we always need. We spent our days on a beach that was steps away from the villa, and some days we were almost the only ones on the entire beach. Ms Annette is probably the main reason we keep coming back to One Rhythm. She is awesome in every way! She anticipates our needs, even remembering that we love the local fish and lobster for dinner each night. She procured lobster in advance of our arrival, just to make sure that we would have it if the seas were rough for the fishermen. She even had crab for us... a real delicacy! We went snorkeling, which Ms Annette arranged for us, and also took her out to celebrate her birthday. Johnny, the driver, was also great. He took us to the Bend Down Market... a must see! And he also took us anywhere else we wanted to go. We stayed an extra day again this year so that we could go to Leroy's Bar two times. The local band only plays there on Saturday nights, and it is so much fun! We visited the local caves this year, a first for us. Mostly we enjoyed spending time on the beach, resting, and eating Ms Annette's wonderful meals...... could not pay for that kind of food in any restaurant!! We have gotten to know many of the local people who live and work in Duncan's Bay. They remember us from year to year. Karen's villa is so beautifully decorated, and the local people really respect her, because she has done so much for their community. We feel very safe staying in her villa because of that respect that she has. We plan to return to Duncan's Bay, but only if we can stay at One Rhythm!!

Owner Wesley Kaake started planning a Downtown doughnut shop in August of 2010 and the concept of a food truck kept coming up during meetings with the city. Kaake initially wasn't interested, but the growing attention to food trucks and issues with financing caused him to reconsidering. Locating a used food truck in Greenspring, Ohio, Kaake drove 18 hours to check it out and met Jody Shetzer. Shetzer operated a food truck business under The Twisted Sister House of Hunger name, and Kaake was pleased with the thought of having a spiritual partner in another state.
"We pretty much begged them to keep the name," says Kaake. "We're not part of a franchise or anything, but we said we'd always tell people there was another truck in Ohio. They're kind of family friends now."
The House of Hunger menu is focused on smoked meats, including smoked pork and bacon bites, smoked beef brisket bites and smoked pork tacos. It will also offer up desserts, including a "chocolate addiction" cake from Kaake's mother's recipe and frozen cheesecakes on a stick from local company Chubby Girl Cheesecake.
But what about the doughnuts? Kaake says that in the spring he plans to begin selling doughnuts on weekday mornings. Until then, The Twisted Sister House of Hunger will be available for catering, and Kaake also plans to teach cooking classes during the off-season at the Midtown Global Market.
Video Stardom to close in August
NORTHEAST PARK — After 27 years of operation in Northeast, the owners of Video Stardom in the Quarry Center have announced the shop is going out of business. The video rental store will be close in August and is in the process of liquidating its merchandise.
Owner Craig Belisle and his wife made the decision to shut the store down back in February after reducing the store's 5,000-square-foot space by half to lower costs. A T-Mobile store took over the other space, and while the decision cut expenses, it presented other problems. Many customers mistook the construction as a sign that the video store had closed. The T-Mobile store also reduced the store's visibility to shoppers entering the Quarry Center by placing another retailer between the store and traffic.
Of course, these were smaller issues compared to some of the other challenges that had developed for the independent retailer. "In the old days, your competitors were Blockbuster and Hollywood Video," said Belisle. "Now there are 20 different reasons [to close]. Redbox did the most damage because it undervalued the material. But there's also Netflix, cable on demand, pirating and the recession."
After Video Stardom closes, there will not be a single traditional video rental store left in The Journal's coverage area.
New salon opens in NE
SHERIDAN — Two Northeast residents recently opened the new Heart Salon a couple of blocks from home.
The co-owners previously worked together in Uptown at Hairpolice, and they had their eyes on the building at 1310 2nd St. NE for a long time.
"For four years we talked about opening in our own neighborhood," said co-owner Carol Flaig. "We said if that building is up for sale, that's where we would like to be."
They specialize in the funkier side of hair care: hair extensions, dreads and feather extensions, along with basic haircut and color work.
The Heart Salon's name has a deeper significance than you might expect — its slogan is "the salon with heart."
"We really wanted to have a business that wasn't just about revenue, but also about giving back to the community," Flaig said.
NORTH LOOP — The Public House, a new wine bar, is opening in the space formerly home to the North Washington Café in Tower Lofts, 700 Washington Ave. N. According to its Facebook page, it's set to open early August.

I want to mention only the difficult parts.The removal of the retaining ring/nut (which is under the agitator) . After 10 + years, it was very hard to move this part and it was eventually broke it to remove it. WD40 was used but not effective (to much calicum build up). You must turn the cone shaped piece (located under the inner tub) clock wise to get it to remove. A spanner wrench was not used to remove this. I used a punch and a tack hammer. We could not remove the old tub bearing (closest to the shaft), so we just cleaned it up with emory cloth and used the new tub seal/outer bearing. Spins great but have not been able to check the water leakage problem yet.Caution: there are two dark colored ring (very thin) that go back on top of the rubber collar. These must be reused. These are hard to see. I pushed the old tub seal/bearing out with the end of a 2x4 (very slowly and carefully). I put the tub up on two of the 2x4's, for clearance off of the floor and used the third to knock the old bearing out. Old machine are very messy.
