August Update: Sharing is Caring
Greetings and salutations, party people! We have so much to cover, so let's get down to it.
Magic players: We have been listening to your feedback, and we have implemented some changes that we think you will really like. We now have a much more fixed calendar of events, so that you'll consistently know what to expect from us and plan accordingly. Monday will be Modern, Tuesday will be casual/StarCity Game Night, Thursday will be Standard, Friday Night Magic will be Modern and Booster Draft, Sunday will be Standard, and Saturdays will be for special events like IQs, PPTQs, Game Days, etc(there are some leftover special events that will be on Sundays for now, but going forward we're shooting for Saturdays). The full details are on our website calendar and the in-store calendars, so please take a gander at them.
While we're on the subject of Magic, we are also now taking preorders on Conspiracy: Take the Crown, Kaladesh, and From the Vault: Lore (see sidebar on the right), AND we have some very big tournament announcements to share:
Saturday, November 26th we will be having a Modern tournament for Shock Land and Fetch Land playsets, and Saturday, December 17th we will be having a Standard tournament for promo hotness, which will include the SDCC Exclusive 2016 Planeswalker Set! Full details will be posted soon, so keep an eye on this spot.
Our Board Game Nights have been a real crowd pleaser, so if you haven't checked one out yet, take a Tuesday night and spend it with us and some quality cardboard! Earn points by playing featured games, enter our raffle, and get big discounts on all sorts of items. In August we're highlighting: King of Tokyo, King of New York, Boss Monster, Legendary, Munchkin, Merchants & Marauders, Pirate's Den, Via Nebula, Dastardly Dirigibles, Dead of Winter, and The Grizzled! Whew!
Jared, because he is hopelessly addicted to board games, is still choosing a favorite each month to demo to you all. If you are lucky enough to catch him in his natural habitat and he is not running around like a maniac, he will show you the amazing customizable deckbuilding game Mystic Vale. And you will love it as he does.
And lastly, because our robot overlords demanded it, we have expanded our social media empire to now include the Instagrams (theportalcng) and the Snapchats (ThePortalCnG). So you can find us here, there, and on the Facebooks (@theportalcomics) and Tweeters (@ThePortalComics) too! AND our store is a Pokemon Go gym!
Have a fun and safe Summer, campers. May your mini golf scores be low, may your soft serve be piled high, and may your air conditioning never fail you.

June: The Dice Must Flow
Do not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. After all, there's so much to get all jazzed about this month, you'll forget all about that silly existential stuff.
In the wacky world of Magic the Gathering, the amazing reprint set known as Eternal Masters hits on the 10th, and for a very limited time we will have booster packs for sale as well as a small selection of singles. On the 12th and 26th we will be having a few booster drafts with this incredible set as well. For all the spoilery goodness, click here.
In the even wackier world of roleplaying games, June 18th will be the 10th anniversary of Free RPG Day! Come on down and get your adventurer's mitts +2 vs. wallet drain on some free intro modules and other goodies, and while you're here learn to play something new and take advantage of our sales!
There's also the first month of Civil War Heroclix on the 16th, a Star Wars X-Wing tournament on the 30th, a demo for the new miniature game Guild Ball on the 25th, and more! Check out our calendar for full details.
We're also proud to announce that board games are about to get even more love from the newly expanded crew at The Portal! As always, Jared will continue to pick new favorites every month, and if you get a demo of one of them from him you'll get 20% off your very own copy. For June it's:
World's Fair 1893
It's thematic, it's educational, and it's fun! With great mechanics and a ton of replayability, this is going to be a serious contender for top games of the year! Click for more info
This lovely little city-building game is all about drafting buildings and other features, and then strategically placing them to score the most points. Plus, it has acrylic meeples! Click for more info
High Heavens
It's all-out war between pantheons of ancient gods! You summon them to the board and set them loose on your opponent, and all the stats are kept track of using a very cool ringchip system! And the minis look fantastic, too. Click for more info
In addition, beginning at the end of this month we will have a special Board Game Night on Tuesdays, where our new recruits will be running demos, holding raffles, and more!
All this is leading up to our Summer of Tabletop event on July 9th, which will feature demos, contests, sales, podcasts, and all sorts of gaming madness!
So enjoy that air conditioning, grab a frosty beverage, and spend Summer the right way: Indoors, away from the deadly day-moon, with a comic book in hand and a game set up on the table.

If you are a lover of comic books, or are even merely curious about them, this is going to be a very special week for you. First of all, this Wednesday, May 4th, The Portal is proud to announce our very first comics author appearance and signing! Local artist and creator of the webcomic Snarlbear, Natalie Riess, will be with us from our opening at 11am, signing copies of her new Oni Press book, SPACE BATTLE LUNCHTIME! This 8-issue miniseries is all about an intergalactic cooking competition that Peony, a baker from Earth, finds herself taking part in, and it's awesome! So stop on by, grab a copy of your very own and get it signed. Natalie will also be doing sketches in-store as well- how cool is that?
Then this Saturday, from 9am to 9pm, it's Free Comic Book Day, where you can pick up a few neat promo comic books and take advantage of our huge 25% OFF SALE! All of our back issues, trade paperbacks, and graphic novels will be discounted, so don't miss it!

You won't be sorry.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year: International Tabletop Day & Free Comic Book Day!
Greetings, one and all! The best two Saturdays of our year are almost upon us, and I have the honor of unloading all of the juicy details for you. Let's get to it:
For those of you who are not familiar with the awesomeness that is TTD, it is simply a day to get together and enjoy some tabletop games with the community, which is what we are all about. From 9AM to 9PM we will have the doors to our demo copy cabinets open, so that all may partake of the cardboard and plastic meeplery contained within. Borrow any of our OVER 600 GAMES and give them a try with others who are hanging out in the shop. Then play another. And another. It's just that simple. Well, there's a bit more to it. Like…
SALES! All of our games (accessories/singles/hobby supplies excluded) will be 20% OFF!(cannot be combined with other discounts-register takes highest) In addition, we will have select games on special sale at an even higher discount!
REFRESHMENTS! We will have an assortment of food and beverage snacky treats on hand, because we know better than most that slaying dragons, annihilating opposing armies, bluffing out your friends, and placing workers is serious business which requires a steady influx of fuel.
THEMED DEMO SESSIONS! I've just returned from PAX East, and I scoured the aisles for the most amazing new games from indie creators and developers, and I will be showing you how to play my favorites, as well as offering them for sale!
9AM-11AM: PIRATE DEN (3-5 players) A fast-paced bluffing game about grabbing as much loot as possible and then burying it so that your rivals can't do the same to you. For more info, click here.
11:30AM-1:30PM: ALCHEMY! (2-5 players) It's a test of magical mixing, as you race to make the best potions, both to show off for points and to drink for funsies. For more info, click here.
2PM-4PM: GRUFF (2-4 players) A tactical card game about battles between mutated monster goats! For more info, click here.
4:30PM-6:30PM: HIGH HEAVENS (2-4 players) A strategic miniature combat game with great looking figures and brilliant mechanics where one pantheon of ancient gods battles against another for cosmic supremacy! For more info, click here.
7PM-9PM: EVIL GENIUS DEATHRAY (2-6 players) In this card game play as an evil genius bent on world domination and build your own deathray while sabotaging others! For more info, click here.
SPECIAL GUESTS! Local game designer Anthony Rando from Devious Devices will be stopping by to beta test the prototype of their latest creation, and you are all invited to weigh in on:
That's right, the officially licensed tabletop game of the cult-hit franchise, this is a cooperative, scenario-based game for 1 to 4 players, ages 15 and up. Players assume the roles of brave citizens of a coastal city, working together to battle hordes of man-eating sharks as they attempt to thwart the ultimate weather phenomenon! *Chainsaw sold separately.*
Just as the name implies, for FCBD you stop into the shop between 9AM and 9PM, and we let you pick out up to 5 free comics that you get to take home and enjoy and share with all the people in your life who are desperately in need of cool things. We will also have lots of other neat promos available, and our entire stock of comics will be 25% OFF! (Cannot be combined with other discounts- register takes highest) And speaking of 25% discounts, you can get that year-round by signing up for our pull list service, nudge nudge wink wink. For a full list of the available titles, click here.
There you have it. We'll see you crazy kids soon! Do us a solid and help spread the word, won't you?

A Greater, Slightly Later Update-inator
Hello once again, my geeks, nerds, dorks, and assorted hobbyists and ne'er-do-wells! I have SO much to share with you. So, without further ado, may I present:
It's our first gaming and beverage collaboration! Every Sunday at 1pm join Jared as he teaches folks to play some of his favorite board games, all while trying extra hard not to imbibe too much. Speaking of, this event is open to everyone, but of course you must be 21 years or older to enjoy the many yummy flavors of mead available on tap or in bottles to go. Big thanks to Dave and all of the amazing guys and gals at The Colony Meadery and The Moravian Book Shop for helping make this a thing!
It's also our first time featuring customer art in the store! Starting off with our good friend Tyrone Webb and his amazing Sci-Fi landscape paintings, we will be featuring local artists in our game room. It's a win-win: We get a game room that looks awesome, and you have an opportunity to get up close and personal with the Lehigh Valley's creative community. All pieces are available for sale, BTW, so by all means slap down some cash. And if you're a local artist who'd like some exposure, particularly if you work in fantasy/sci-fi/comics, contact us and we'll hook you up with some wall space!
Where to begin? Magic players, there has never been a better time to play at The Portal. Why? Well, let's see…
-We have added regular Commander and Pauper events to the schedule!
-We will be having FOUR Prerelease events for Shadows over Innistrad (And we're now taking preorders on boxes and fat packs, as well as preregistration for these events, so get on that)!
-We will be having special Sunday tournaments all month long with EXPEDITION LANDS as prizes (See the events calendar for more info)!
-We continue to offer some of the best trade-in prices in the area, and we're once again buying collections for cash, so we're well-stocked in singles!
-Now through the end of May we are having our first ever STORE CHAMPIONSHIP, and here's how it works:
Beginning this Sunday, March 6th, through May 31st, every single Magic the Gathering event you play in at the shop will give you Championship points. The top 4 players with the best overall points totals at the end of that period will win some ridiculous prizes! We'll start with the points. You get:
+1 point for every event you play in
+2 points for every event you win (or get 1st place in by tie breakers)
+1 point for every event you get 2nd-4th place in (by tie breakers if necessary)
that total multiplied by x2 during Prereleases, Grand Prix Trials, and Game Days
that total multiplied by x3 during Star City Invitational Qualifiers
And now the prizes (Are you sitting down?):
1st place overall will get a SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2015 BLACK PLANESWALKER SET (complete in original box) AND a booster box of ETERNAL MASTERS!
2nd place overall will get a sealed DUEL DECKS ANTHOLOGY AND a booster box of ETERNAL MASTERS!
3rd and 4th place overall will get a booster box of ETERNAL MASTERS!
The Eternal Masters will be available for pickup on June 10th. Prizes are non-transferable. In the event of ties, we will set up special events to determine the winner. These events will most likely be a silly format, because Jared enjoys torturing you.
Things start to really get sick next month, with the addition of STAR WARS NIGHT and LIVING CARD GAME NIGHT, as well as the upcoming INTERNATIONAL TABLETOP DAY 2016 and FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! We will also be making appearances at the next MEPACon and some local comic book and gaming conventions. Whew!
So there you go. We're back and at full freaking power. The events calendar has returned, so please take a moment to check it out. More and more people are signing up for our comic book pull list (The best in the area at a monstrous 25% off, in our humble and not-at-all-biased opinion), so if you're a fan please check that out as well. And we'll see you all in roughly thirty days.

My Super Sweet 2016
Welcome to the future, fellow nerdlings! The hospitals are full of hoverboard injuries, Crystal Pepsi is coming back, and you all probably got one of these cute little buggers for Christmas:
It's a new year, and we get to do all of our favorite stuff all over again! Just picture it: Another Free Comic Book Day, and Tabletop Day, and all the various tournaments and events we love to put on for you, including:
Magic the Gathering: Oath of the Gatewatch Prereleases- Three events, one Sealed Deck at midnight on the 16th(the night of the 15th), a Two-Headed Giant Sealed on the 16th, and a final Sealed Deck on the 17th! Preregister today to reserve your spot and save five bucks!
Magic the Gathering: StarCity Games Invitational Qualifier- For those who enjoy an event with tougher competition and a bigger payout, we have a Standard format event on the 31st!
Warmachine/Hordes Steamroller tournament- There's a 50 point event coming your way on the 23rd!
Malifaux Henchman Hardcore tournament- The meetups and leagues have been growing in size; now it's to time to take it to the next level on the 30th!
Kings of War campaign league- It's time to bring the awesomeness of large fantasy battles back to the shop, courtesy of Mantic's great new 2nd edition!
This and tons more! Full details are available in the Events Calendar, which is now fully updated for this month. Please, for the love of everything good and decent in this world, take a look at it. I work hard on these things. It will answer pretty much any event question you have. Don't make me cry. I do that ugly cry, and it's quite unseemly.
Guess what's back? Featured demo games! This month we've chosen a few of our current favorites to highlight, and if you come in and get a demo from one of us or check out our store copies on your own, you'll get your very own copy for 20% off! Here's the new hotness:
It's not often that you see a good dedicated two player game, or one with rampaging dinosaur action. This new game from Bruno Cathala and Bruno Faidutti has BOTH, and it's glorious. More info
A macabre little card game all about opening an inn and luring in visitors, for the sole purpose of murdering them and looting their corpses before the authorities catch on. Lovely art, addictive gameplay, and a theme that would make Edward Gorey squeal from his grave. More info
As the name implies, in this game you roll a bunch of dice to gather up resources, which will allow you to build a thriving city and a military which can charge out and be a jerk to your opponents. Great all-ages fun for fans of games like Imperial Settlers. More info
Further into the future there's all kinds of goodness awaiting. Trust us. No big spoilers yet, but you can be assured some of it involves cramming more comics, more games, more events, and more of everything that makes us rad into our shop and webstore. Until next month:

Top Comics and Games of 2015
Here it is, because everyone else is doing it this time of year, and we don't want to be left behind. Enjoy!
Lexx's picks:
2015 has gone by with alarming swiftness, but there's never been a better time for comics and tabletop games! There's something for just about everybody at this point, no matter your tastes. I just so happen to be a weirdo so here are my top picks of the past year for weirdos.
10. WEIRD LOVE from Yoe Comics/IDW – A bi-monthly curated collection of the 'best of the worst' of romance comic stories from the 1950's onward. Full of both hilarious and cringe-worthy tales of falling for communists and how your husband truly knows what's best for you despite your womanly hysteria. That was sarcasm but this comic is great.
Honorable mention: Bitch Planet by Kelly Sue DeConnick, Valentine De Landro and Robert Wilson IV from Image
9. HEAD LOPPER by Andrew MacLean from Image – IT'S ABOUT A BIG DUDE WHO CHOPS OFF HEADS AND CARRIES AROUND A TALKING WITCH HEAD AND A BIG SWORD AND IT'S PRETTY COOL OKAY. Caps lock aside, this book has awesome art with a Hellboy kind of feel, and builds an interesting world that I can't wait to learn more about.
Honorable mention: Birthright by Joshua Williamson and Andrei Bressan from Image
8. TOIL & TROUBLE by Mairghread Scott, Kelly & Nichole Matthews from Archaia/Boom – The beautifully illustrated political and sometimes physical conflicts between three witches over the throne of Scotland, this is Macbeth told from a very different and fascinating perspective.
Honorable mention: The Spire by Simon Spurrier and Jeff Stokely from Boom
7. CAPTAIN AMERICA, SAM WILSON by Nick Spencer and Daniel Acuna from Marvel – Marvel's recent character changes have been controversial, but they've gotten me interested in so many heroes and titles I've never cared about before. Sam is no exception. This book is fresh, topical, relevant and relatable as heck.
Honorable mention – Ms. Marvel by G. Willow Wilson, Takeshi Miyazawa and Adrian Alphona from Marvel
6. THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL by Ryan North and Erica Henderson from Marvel – SPEAKING OF MARVEL'S DASTARDLY PLAN TO GET ME TO READ A BUNCH OF CAPE BOOKS oh my god you guys Squirrel Girl. It's a stupid name. Doreen Green is even worse. But once you read it you won't care, it's so funny and clever and will make you so hype about a goofy D-list hero that you'll write run-on sentences without a care.
Honorable mention – Howard the Duck by Chip Zdarsky and Joe Quinones from Marvel
5. LIMBO by Dan Watters and Caspar Wijngaard from Image – Though there are only two issues of this out by the time of this writing, it's quickly become a favourite. Luchador drug kingpins, VHS-dwelling technoshamans, girls summoning voodoo Loa with cassette tapes, oh my! Not to mention Lovecraftian fish-men and a lone gumshoe with amnesia. I'm a sucker for pop culture remixes with classic mysticism, and this book has it.
Honorable mention: Tokyo Ghost by Rick Remender, Sean Murphy and Matt Hollingsworth from Image
4. THE AUTUMNLANDS: TOOTH & CLAW by Kurt Busiek, Benjamin Dewey and Jordie Bellaire from Image – Autumnlands has some of the most gorgeous art I've seen in my last few years of comics obsession, and great characters to boot. Magic, violence, intrigue and a coyote lady riding a giant cockroach. You heard me.
Honorable mention – Wild's End: The Enemy Within by Dan Abnett and I.N.J. Culbard from Boom
3. THE WICKED + THE DIVINE by Kieron Gillen and Jaime McKelvie from Image – The gods return to us every 90 years, and by 2 years they will be dead. They're also all fabulous pop stars and have a mess of problems that are one heck of an enjoyable trip to follow.
Honorable mention – Phonogram: the Immaterial Girl by… well, these guys again.
2. SOUTHERN BASTARDS by Jason Aaron and Jason Latour from Image – Football, BBQ and awful people being awful to each other, often with large sticks. If you like your bloody crime stories with some Alabama grit(s) and a little hot sauce, give these bastards a look.
Honorable mention – Ringside by Joe Keatinge, Nick Barber and Simon Gough from Image
1. SEX CRIMINALS by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky from Image – I make no apologies that my top 5 picks are all from Image Comics, they have been absolutely killin' it when it comes to great stories for weirdos. This one's REALLY weird; when our darling protagonists Jon and Suzie have sex, they can freeze time. It gets weirder from there. This is a predictable #1 choice for me, because I can never shut up about how much I enjoy this comic. It's touching, personal, kinky, bizarre, funny as hell and explores a lot of aspects of human nature, psychology and sexuality that I find both fascinating and important. BOARD GAMES:
6. RAIDERS OF THE NORTH SEA – I wasn't going to include this one because a) who makes a top SIX? and b) it's only from Kickstarter at the moment and I can't take your sweet, sweet money for it. However, it's really really really good so I wanted to include it anyway. This game is worker placement (probably my favourite style of game) done to perfection, with a delicious viking flavour and some creative twists on an old genre.
5. THREE CHEERS FOR MASTER – A card game about adorable and wicked little minions stacking themselves up into a comically exploding victory tower for their evil overlord. I love the look and flavour of the game, as well as sabotaging opponent's towers so they collapse into gory little piles of goons.
4. BULLFROGS – Place lily pad tiles and cute little wooden frogs AND THEN GET READY TO RUMBLE. I came for the "bullfrog with a battleaxe" meeple and stayed for the depth of strategy.
3. MOUSE GUARD: SWORDS & STRONGHOLDS – Firstly, Mouse Guard is the best and despite not including it in my comic countdown, it's one of my favourites. Secondly, this game is wonderfully simple but provides lots of brain-straining thought over each move of your four little carved mice across the chess-like board. A deck of cards brings a great random element into the mix, too!
2. THE BLOODY INN – I only just played this game a few days ago, but I'm in love. I'd like to announce my engagement to this game, we're setting up a gift registry next week. Okay, maybe not, but this card game has the best premise: you own a shady rural inn, and must play your cards right to build new rooms, bribe some accomplices, murder your guests for their cash and find places to bury the bodies.
1. PANDEMIC LEGACY – Co-operative games are my jam, and this is the king of them all. I really enjoy the base Pandemic game and all of it's various expansions and spin-offs, but this brings a whole new level of crazy goodness. You're still working together to contain and cure deadly diseases, but now with each game it evolves depending on your actions. I'm currently half-way through the contents of the game and we have the Kaiju Flu almost under control, but Moscow is not much better than a smoking crater crawling with.. well, I'll let you find out for yourself.
Jared's Picks:
I'll preface this by saying that despite my best efforts, I didn't get to play every new game and read every new comic book. But here are the ones that impressed and delighted me the most, filtered through my biases and whatnot. Give 'em a try; You won't be disappointed.
10. OH, KILLSTRIKE by Max Bemis and Logan Faerber, from Boom! Studios – More and more, the nostalgia of my generation is ruining everything around me, and that's basically what this mini-series is about. The main character, guided by a living Rob Liefeld-esque superhero, takes a trip down 90s comics lane, unfortunately for his wife and child. Funny and poignant stuff.
9. LITTLE NEMO: RETURN TO SLUMBERLAND by Eric Shanower and Gabriel Rodriguez, from IDW – This was a lovely little surprise. Just page after page of wonder and whimsy, even if you've never heard of Winsor McKay and the adventures of his dream-traversing little scamp. Great for all ages.
8. MIRACLEMAN by Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham, from Marvel – The original run of this book by Alan Moore is one of THE best deconstructionist superhero stories ever told, and now that the legal quagmire is behind us, it's awesome to see Gaiman picking up where the original left off, with Miracleman leading humanity into a Golden Age, where nearly anything is possible.
7. PHONOGRAM: THE IMMATERIAL GIRL by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, from Image – I am a huge music nut, and thus this latest tale of audio magic, with its non-stop 80s references and too-cool-for-school attitude, speaks to me like few other books ever have.
6. COPPERHEAD by Jay Faerber and Scott Godlewski, from Image – Science fiction has been making a huge comeback, primarily at Image, and this story of a war-ravaged backwater planet and the foreigner who steps in to take over as sheriff is among the very best. All the swagger and grit you can handle.
5. LETTER 44 by Charles Soule and Alberto Jimenez Alburquerque, from Oni Press – I was late to this one, but better late than never and all that. This one is sci-fi and political drama in equal measure, bouncing between the newest American president, who has knowledge of life beyond our planet, and the team that the previous administration dispatched to see just what these mysterious visitors are really up to.
4. SAGA by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, from Image – I'm sure that you've heard of this one by now. There's a reason for that. It somehow manages to be a heartfelt examination of adulthood and relationships, a menagerie of wacky space opera aliens, AND hilariously vulgar, all at the same time.
3. INJECTION by Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey, from Image – There are, to me, two things that define the quintessential Ellis story: The ability to unflinchingly look into the future, and characters who are violently cantankerous. In this comic there are copious amounts of both, as a team of reckless specialists twists reality, with disastrous consequences.
2. MANIFEST DESTINY by Chris Dingess and Matthew Roberts, from Image – It's a concept so devilishly simple that I'm amazed it hasn't been done before: What if Lewis and Clark's expedition revealed that North America was a wild land full of monsters, though none so deadly and cruel as the interlopers themselves? This historical fiction is absolutely enthralling.
1. PREZ by Mark Russell and Ben Caldwell, from DC – MORE OF THIS PLEASE. I don't think I've ever seen a narrative so in touch with the zeitgeist of its period before. It's politics, it's satire, IT'S MEMES. It's what happens when a teenage girl sort of accidentally becomes an American president, and decides to actually fix her country's many problems.
5. THE VOYAGES OF MARCO POLO by Simone Luciani and Daniele Tascini, from Z-Man – There are certain things that I am a complete sucker for in board games: Historical themes, worker placement, and nifty uses for dice. This game squishes them all into one five-round brain burner, and it's the best thing in its genre since Euphoria.
4. SYLVION by Shadi Torbey and Elise Plessis, from Z-Man – A good single player experience is extremely rare in gaming, and so is unique artwork. The second entry in the line of games known as the 'Oniverse', this card game is all about doing your best to keep fire elementals from burning the forests of a dream world away. Beautiful, tense, and addictive.
3. ELYSIUM by Matthew Dunstan and Brett J. Gilbert, from Space Cowboys/Asmodee- Card drafting has worked its way into lots of games recently, but few have put a new spin on the mechanic quite like this one did. There's so much to enjoy in this Greek Mythology-themed set collection game, and a great deal of replayability, too.
2. THE WORLD OF SMOG: ON HER MAJESTY'S SERVICE by Yohan Lemmonier, from Cool Mini or Not – Yes, the name is ridiculously long, and yes, it's a steampunk theme. That does not matter in the slightest. This gorgeous beastie has a board full of clockwork gears and creepy miniatures to contend with, as players race against each other to fulfill their secret win condition first.
1. BLOOD RAGE by Eric Lang, from Cool Mini or Not – Vikings, they are the new ninjas. There are a bazillion games about them now, because if there's one thing we like more than assassinating things with throwing stars, it's sacking villages and dying gloriously in battle. You could play this area control game without the sweet figures, but why would you? There's card drafting, there's brutal battles that fill up Valhalla, and there's a little something new to the strategy that you pick up on with each play.
There you have it. What geekery made your year a little better? Stop on by and nerd out with us!

I have checked this box numerous times and even uninstalled silverlight and reinstalled.Still the same message. This is not the first problem i have had with sky and am getting to the point where it is just 1 problem after another.
How do i correct this issue please.

Uninstall Silverlight again and reboot your computer. Then go to use Sky Go again as this time it should prompt you to install it again which you need to do. What happens when you do this ?

The feast was indeed glorious, and Zane tried to enjoy it as much as he could. He filled up on quite a lot during it. It was the most he ate in quite a while, and was quite happy with it. He was sure the others had their fill as well. As the others finished their meals, the tables were cleared, and Pokemon began speaking now, of battles soon to be fought, and plans soon to be made. It wasn't exactly strategy planning as much as it was after dinner speak, something Pokemon of the Alpha Alliance do quite often, although the topics usually concern more brighter details, of course that would be in times of peace. Zane overheard Belas conversing with Penance.
"Belas, have you seen a male Golduck anywhere? He goes by the name of Matthius Malum."
Belas eyed Penance, and then spoke.
"I have not, I'm afraid, Defender. But that doesn't mean he isn't here. I can't be expected to remember the names and faces of all of my troops, after all." He said, with a laugh. He continued. "You can looked for him among the camp, if you wish."
Other conversations erupted around as well. General Belas filled in Hazone on the events of the past few months, as he had not been aware because of captivity. Other people spoke of different matters, but eventually, every conversation trailed to the upcoming war, and Pokemon left the table to make some preparations, including sleep. As everyone departed for the night, General Belas caught up with the Gold Tribe members.
"Noble Gold Tribe members, I invite you to sleep and perform any other preparations you need for the time being. Tomorrow, we go over the war plan, and then we ride to war."
"Where will we be riding, General?" Zane asked, wondering where their campaign would start.
"Eternity City. Like the battles of past had began and concluded there, so shall ours. We will begin our revolution in Eternity."
Belas walked closer to them speaking almost in whisper. "I will not lie. By day's end, I will need you, every one of you, to make this happen. My soldiers are strong, but if we want our homeland back, we need your help. As the great Generals of the past rode side by side with Gold Tribe members in war before, so shall I ask the same of you now."
Zane nodded. The General nodded back, and bowed to them all. He departed, off to bed. Zane looked at the others. He was at a loss for words. He wanted to tell them how much the Alpha Alliance was depending on all of them, or how much it meant to Zane that they were all still here, despite so many other Gold Tribe members being gone, or even how he was glad to have the chance to fight and die by their sides, no words of such came out. He wasn't the one to give those sorts of speeches. But Zane had the feeling, or at least he hoped, that they already all understood that.
"We should go to sleep as well. See you at the war meeting tomorrow morning." Zane said, before leaving them to go to sleep. A cot was prepared for him among the sea of sleeping soldiers. Zane was weary and sleepy. He fell onto the mat, and drifted to sleep, a final thought lingering in his head.
Tomorrow, it all begins.

A "skillful debut …"
-The Daily Beast
" …riveting saga about trying to break a 19th-century glass ceiling."
–Good Housekeeping
"Oliveira's debut novel is magnificent historical fiction."
"The language is beautiful and the story will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout …"
-(Albany) Times Union
" …compelling voice … does a splendid job of reminding us how much the known world has changed … and how much has not."
-(Portland) Oregonian
"Oliveira deftly depicts the chaotic aftermath of battles and develops her own characters while incorporating military and political leaders of the time. The historic details enrich the narrative without overshadowing Mary's struggles. This well-written and compelling debut will engage all readers of historical fiction, especially those interested in the Civil War."

Larger Fin for my F155

RE: Larger Fin for my F155
The board is the 2000 formula model and came with a stock 58 cm reg tuttle fin. I took a tape to the inside of the box, and it sure seems like there is a lot of space in there...
Using a standard measuring tape, I could insert the tape 4 inches into the board at both the front and back ends. Looking inside the box however, it looks like the "wall" at the back of the box starts out tapering in for about 1.5 - 2 inches, and then shoots straight up to the top of the board.
I've always assumed that the box was a reg tuttle box based on this link
However I did think that there seemed like a lot of extra room in there. It does not appear as though any reworking or replacement has been done ( I am the second owner)
Are you saying that this board does have a dtt box? That would be GREAT!
I also have a 2001 start , the archive link just says tuttle box, would this board also have a DTT box?
Thanks so much

Creak, Crackle, Pop! · Experience Life. Kelle Walsh · What is that sound coming from your joints, and should you be concerned?
Find out what's normal, and what you might want to get checked out. Have you ever heard a crackle in your knees as you stood up from a squat? Do your shoulders creak during lateral raises? Or maybe you've heard a "pop" deep inside your hip socket when you ease into Warrior II pose. These cracking, creaking, popping sounds coming from your joints can be disconcerting, even embarrassing, but medical experts say most of them are harmless. Normal movement causes some cracking and creaking in even the healthiest joints and cartilage. Understanding what causes joint sounds is the first step in determining whether the racket in your body is just incidental noise or something that requires medical attention.

I have made a post in here in the past. Since I had made my post I have ended yet another crazy abusive relationship. I have to say, from experience, being I was married to a horrible abuser, both physical, emotional and verbal that they don't stop badgering you, they don't stop blaming you, they don't stop harassing you or telling you what a failure you are; that is all part of he abusive behavioral process. I once was told that the reason an abuser continues is because we allow them to by "tolerating" this behavior.

My Random Stuff. Am I A Fireman Yet? Your weird attraction to Prince Harry: a theory. Chris Jackson / Getty Images Prince Harry approves of this important research. By Joan Raymond When it comes to a man's hotness quotient, there are the usual shallow suspects.
But let's just blame evolution for a woman's fondness for broad shoulders and a v-shaped torso. Now, a new study published in the journal Evolutionary Psychology finds that women like their men to have a little blush to their faces. In any case, red really does rule, eliciting a range of emotions and behaviors in humans and other species, according to newly published research in the journal Evolutionary Psychology . Among some male birds, fish and primates, the color red acts as a kind of beacon, broadcasting social dominance, testosterone levels and influencing mate selection. The mystery, it seems, was whether women found that facial redness actually makes a man seem more attractive or dominant. In the (small) study, 45 Caucasian women were shown photos of 21 Caucasian men, all with neutral expressions.
Psychological ("personality") Types. Psychological ("personality") Types According to Jung's theory of Psychological Types we are all different in fundamental ways. One's ability to process different information is limited by their particular type.
These types are sixteen.

Brant Secunda and Mark Allen: 7 Simple Life Tips. Adapted from "Fit Soul, Fit Body: 9 Keys to a Healthier, Happier You" Whenever we teach seminars, a common theme among participants is their desire to find more balance in their lives. They work too much, eat too much, and spend too much time obsessing about things that aren't important. On the flip side, they also complain that they sleep too little, lack passion in their relationships, and have too little motivation and energy.
Most complaints of this sort can be traced back to one culprit: a life out of balance. During the 12 years he lived with the Huichol people and apprenticed with their 110-year-old shaman, Brant observed that these beautiful people laugh all day long, rest and relax while they work, are exceptionally healthy and happy, and live to unbelievably old ages.

Kevin Mager breaks into Muhlenberg home, puts on woman's underwear, police say
Officers use Taser to subdue suspected burglar on 2nd floor of home
Police used a Taser to subdue a man who they said broke into a home, went through the homeowners' possessions, and then put on a woman's thong and bra.
Officers were dispatched shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday to a home in the 3500 block of Rosewood Road in Muhlenberg Twp., Berks Co.
According to court documents:
Scott A.P. Heilman was sleeping upstairs when he woke up to hear someone enter the home and walk around the lower level.
Moments later, Kevin Mager, who was known to Heilman, walked in to Heilman's room wearing a lady's thong and bra and appearing to be under the influence of drugs.
Fearing that Mager may want to harm him, Heilman fled the home and called his father and police.
Responding officers found Mager on the second floor of the home. When Mager refused to obey their commands, officers deployed a Taser to subdue him, police said.
In addition to the undergarments he was wearing at the time, Mager was also in possession of a jewelry box and jewelry, according to court documents.
Mager, 20, was charged with burglary, receiving stolen property and theft by unlawful taking. He was committed to the Berks County Jail on $50,000 bail.

gcfrog Review
Not accurate color
The chairs are fine, but I was looking specifically for yellow chairs. These I wouldn't classify very strongly as yellow. The cross threads are yellow, but the vertical threads are a tan so it makes the yellow not so yellow at all. I like the structure of the chair and height.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Not very yellow looking. I wanted yellow and these have more of a green tint.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality seems fine
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate on shape and size, not color.

Lincoln: A Photobiography (Houghton Mifflin social studies) (original 1987; edition 1989)
by Russell Freedman
Work details
Lincoln: A Photobiography by Russell Freedman (1987)
Lincoln (2)
Sonlight Books (502)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This biography is quite long, but I could see myself using pieces of it in a history class during a lesson on the civil war. This would be around sixth grade. I think this type of biography is good for group projects and timelines.
This is a long book with over 160 pages that accounts for Lincoln's life. It goes from boyhood to is assassination. As this book is long, I would use short chapters out of this book for lessons. I really think this is great with all of the pictures and information which allows the reader to see what is really happening in their minds. Genre, Informational, as it is about President Abraham Lincoln . Media, Photographs mostly with a black and white representations.
Lesson: What Does A Good Citizen Do?
A good quick overview of Lincoln. Photo's are well picked.
This book has all kinds of different pictures and drawings and tells a lot about how Lincoln was like as a person and not just a president.
Personal reaction:
I really like this book because I am a visual learner. So if i didn't know about Lincoln, it would be easier to be able to connect things with the photos and illustrations.
Classroom Extension:
-Students make their own short photo biography.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0395518482, Paperback)This work is perhaps the most complete and enjoyable children's book ever written about one of the nation's most fascinating and important figures, Abraham Lincoln. Russell Freedman covers Lincoln's life and career in a balanced treatment that is enhanced by period photographs and drawings. The book won the Newbery Medal, the Jefferson Cup Award and the Golden Kite Honor Book Award, and earned a citation as School Library Journal Best Book of the Year.

When the earth is changed into a humid dungeon,
In which Hope like a bat
Goes beating the walls with her timid wings
And knocking her head against the rotten ceiling;
When the rain stretching out its endless train
Imitates the bars of a vast prison
And a silent horde of loathsome spiders
Comes to spin their webs in the depths of our brains,
All at once the bells leap with rage
And hurl a frightful roar at heaven,
Even as wandering spirits with no country
Burst into a stubborn, whimpering cry. And without drums or music, long hearses
Pass by slowly in my soul; Hope, vanquished,
Weeps, and atrocious, despotic Anguish
On my bowed skull plants her black flag.
No !!!!!!!

Shelf IPO Requires Careful Drilling
Market Debut Comes at Difficult Time for Oil Services Companies
Timing is everything when it comes to initial public offerings. So Thursday's announcement by Shelf Drilling, the Dubai-based offshore contractor, of plans to debut its shares in London looks odd. Many big oil companies are cutting back on capital spending, day-rates for drilling rigs are falling and the oil services industry is feeling the squeeze.
Shelf's business may be less exposed to the slowdown than most, but the timing of its IPO means investors should approach with caution.
Shelf paid Transocean about $1 billion for 37 so-called jackup rigs to use in shallow water in November 2012. The rigs have been customized and modernized; some idle rigs have been brought back into active service. But seeking to raise about $500 million by floating perhaps 25% of the company would imply those assets have doubled in value in less than two years.
Half of the stock sold will come from existing shareholders, while new money will also be raised to pay off expensive debt from the Transocean deal. At a time when new rigs are coming to market, driving down prices, it looks like Shelf's backers are seizing on a buoyant European IPO market to, at least partially, cash out.
Shelf has certain factors in its favor. Most of its business is done with national oil companies who are increasing spending, rather than Western majors. Its focus on shallow-water areas in the Middle East, India, Asia and West Africa means it is drilling cheaper, simpler projects than the majors' budget busters.
And Shelf's rigs appear to be in demand. Its order backlog has more than doubled since the end of 2012. The average daily rate at which it leases out its rigs has risen 17% over the same period. That isn't yet showing up in profit: earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization were roughly flat in the first quarter compared with a year before.
The question for investors is what compensation they require for the risk that new rig supply displaces older, lower-specification ones elsewhere, which show up in Shelf's core markets. A promised dividend payout ratio of 40% to 60% should help, especially underpinned by an order book whereby 60% of Shelf's capacity is committed for 2015 already.
Assuming a $2 billion market value, Shelf would list at a multiple of about 5.2 times 2014 Ebitda. That is well below larger, diversified drillers like Ensco on about 7 times and Rowan on closer to 9 times. But Hercules Offshore, a shallow-water driller with an older, lower-spec fleet in the Gulf of Mexico, commands just 4.5 times Ebitda.
Rather than a bargain, the sector's newest stock may be priced simply to ensure it doesn't stay on the shelf.
