RISE AND FALL "Faith" LP
inkl. MwSt. zzgl. Versandkosten
Sofort versandfertig, Lieferzeit ca. 3-5 Werktage
"Faith" is Rise And Fall's artistic exploration on the concepts of faith and fate, nature and nurture, and life and death. Sonically the album melds an impassioned technical proficiency and emotional performance unlike any other previous Rise And Fall release. Showing that in their maturity, Rise And Fall gained creative depth without losing the ferocity that earned them their rightful place on the throne of the Belgian hardcore community.
"Faith" was engineered and recorded by Kurt Ballou (Converge) at God City Studios. It includes guest appearances by Kurt himself, Stephen Brodsky (Cave In), Justin De Tore (Mind Eraser, etc.), Kevin Baker (The Hope Conspiracy, APMD, etc). With the first murky chords of opener "A Hammer And Nails", Rise And Fall shake the ground with noise rock discordance, weighty hardcore heaviness, and trademark "punk metal" rage. As the song recedes, they rise up again and unleash "Deceiver" and "The Gallows Await", two truly vicious anthems. While it's welcoming to hear Rise And Fall hit this familiar (yet evolved) stride, it is in their new found dynamics where they really shine. For example, "Breathe" carries an infectious/hazy jangle that pays homage to the Am Rep world before exploring unorthodox directions. And songs like "Burning At Both Ends" and "Things Are Different Now" take unpredictable melodious twists and turns before collapsing into powerful dirges. Not only have Rise And Fall grown musically but lyrically as well. In fact all throughout "Faith", soul searching lyrics are more revealing than ever before. Exploring the concept of broken faith, separation from the natural world, and the search for direction in life. This theme and its aural counterpart coalesce in the nearly seven minute epic closer "Faith/Fate". A song that metamorphosizes through a hypnotic ebb and flow, only to strip away layers to reveal something primal at the core; audio of the actual heartbeat of Vince's newborn daughter. This is truly a rare and powerful moment to hear in aggressive music; one where real life and art fuse together as one.

Thread: Ensemble Backlog: Gemini Rue
Ensemble Backlog: Gemini Rue
Since a lot of people here seem to have accrued the same kind of backlog that I have, I thought it'd be interesting to start a concurrent gaming club to play through our games together. The conceit of this thread is to designate a game for everybody involved to play together over a designated period and discuss it here. Things like flaws, plot and tactics are all fair game, though obviously any spoilers should be marked clearly, at the start of the post. The secondary goal is to knock out a bit of that backlog; I find, personally, that sometimes I have so many games to play that it's hard to focus on any individual one and finish it.
A few people mentioned in this thread that they've got Gemini Rue sitting around unfinished, and as it was featured in the Indie Royale I'm sure many more have it. Myself, I've played about an hour of it, but that was months ago and at this point it's probably best to start over. I'm going to try to make this a monthly thing if it works out, so in the future we can all vote on what the next game to play together should be. To that end, it's close enough to the start of January that I think February 1 is a good goal to have everyone finish the game.
For the uninitiated, Gemini Rue is a point-and-click adventure game in the vein of Beneath a Steel Sky and Blade Runner released by Wadjet Eye Games last year. The story features two characters: Azriel Odin (yes, that's actually his name,) and ex-assassin fighting an intergalactic Mafia, and amnesiac Delta-Six. After a certain point in the story, the player can switch between these characters at will and follow whichever story they please at any given time. The puzzles are all fairly intuitive, as opposed to some of the more esoteric solutions that plague many adventure games. There are some misguided action sequences, but I would recommend just playing on "Easy" (it only affects the combat) and they shouldn't be too much of a problem. It's got a great, retro graphics style and a hard-boiled neo-noir mystery that really set the tone and drive the game.
If you haven't already picked the game up but still want to join in, it's available on Steam or direct from the publisher for $10. If anyone has thoughts about how to organize this club, feel free to send some suggestions my way.

Does this mean I have to add it to my list as game no.5 in my backlog now? I think this just might push me over the edge if a few others join us :-).Steam, PSN, Xbox Live: Groovychainsaw. Speak 'RPS' and enter.
I'm in. Just yesterday I started playing it.
I always end up despising point and click adventure games, I wish I'd just watched "let's play"searching mostly.
But okay, I will try and get it played this month.I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

I just spent a good part of the day playing this from beginning to end because of this thread. Sad part is that I hadn't even intended to play it before though, so my backlog wasn't really reduced.
It was quite a good game, I liked the story and characters and got caught by some of its twists. My biggest complaint is well exemplified by the elevators. You have a lot of elevators to ride in the game, and every time you have to: right-click the call button, use hand, wait for door to open, go in, right click buttons, use hand, select floor, wait a few seconds for the ride, wait for door to open, walk out. If they'd just changed that to: click door, select floor, cut to you walking out; I'd have been a lot happier.
I'll probably keep up with this thread and attempt to finish any game that comes up. Good initiative.
Lovely looking game, nice voice acting too. I've hit no logical brick walls which is the highest praise you can give a point and click adventure, just finished been swapped and got to be delta six for the first time (past brain wipe).I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

Right, this is getting added to my list, thanks to your summaries (and particularly Helio's summary of the puzzles being logical - a rare thing indeed!) - I've got most of sunday to play, so I'll see how i get along. Its been a while since i played (and wasn't confounded by) a point and click game, but the setting/plot etc. looks good.Steam, PSN, Xbox Live: Groovychainsaw. Speak 'RPS' and enter.
Actually, not just are puzzles logical, you often have multiple valid choirs, and judging by the achievements, some smoother than others.
Only point stumped me was me not being used to left to move when going through a door I kept closing it... Doh!I am once again writing a blog, vaguely about playing games the wrong way

Nice start. I'm somewhat annoyed by that tendency of some adventure games of not letting you pick up stuff until the game deems it's time you need it. Of course that's not the game's fault, it's a design decision, I'm just too used to the typical adventure game "pick up everything that's not nailed to the floor and get a prying bar to get the rest" mechanic.
The few hours needed to play through this were well spent, even though a third of them must have been occupied in walking back and forth. Mostly very well designed puzzles, I only had to look up a solution once and that was definitely a case of me not thinking everything through. The plot was enjoyable and certainly a step up from your average game writing, but I didn't think it was wrapped up very well.
*Minor spoilers follow*
One thing that did disappoint me, and is frequently a problem even with well written games, was how one-dimensional the characters seemed. My first instincts about them always turned out to be right, they lacked any capability to surprise. I thought the initial conversations and the little notes in Center 7 did a great job of cultivating suspicion about the motives of the other characters, but it didn't go anywhere. I felt it could have been more interesting if Balder really was your friend, or Epsilon-Five had her own agenda beyond being your loyal pet.

I'm jumping in on this. I have such giant backlog it's hard for me to pull myself together and start any of the games. I also have a bunch of games which I started but never finished cause I always wind up playing my usual Starcraft 2, TF2 or just Cogs or something similar.
Wasn't able to play this on my proper laptop because it didn't like something about the system (64-bit Windows perhaps)... So let's see if it runs on this here netbook...
And it runs. Got some Berlin to explore today, but I'll play some tonight.
I have this and will try to finish it by the due date. Seems like a neat idea.
Just finished it. In general I quite liked it, and was totally caught out by the twist. Reminded me both of the Blade Runner movie and game, and also the commentary on identity was very PKDian (which I feel I need to mention separately because I never felt they covered that as well in the film as they could have).
The voice acting was generally good, but I almost feel like the writing would have seemed stronger with no VA. Or the writing actually was ham-fisted at times and the actors were just doing the best they could.
I'll definitely spend the time to play it again with the commentary on and to do some achievement hunting.
Sabrage - are we going to do some voting on games to tackle next? 'Cause I quite like the idea of going through the backlog with something of a club.

I've played a bit of it and it seems fine. I've had some graphical glitches when loading games (autosaves mostly) and some conversations that for some reason skip automatically (like if I held a mouse button), but generally I like it. Especially the fact that there are multiple solutions to some problems. Not a common thing in adventure games.
I wonder if the story manages to surprise me. I'm not far into the game but I have a strong hunch about the purpose of Station 7. I'd be very pleased if it turns out to be something entirely different.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW ! (It's pretty much my hunch about the story, but if I'm spot on it might spoil someone's fun.)
To me, it seems like Station 7 is a brainwashing facility. The Boryokudan are putting people who rebel against the in there and train them in the 'art of prison breaking'. Then they wipe their memory again and brainwash them into thinking they're the right side to be on or it happens simultaneously to 'training'. That's why it resembles a prison so much with all it's dynamics and has so much people trying to escape. That way they get new members who can easily escape from any prison they might get put into.
It's kind of a long shot. Seems even longer now, when I wrote it down, but if I'm right, I'll get some satisfaction from the story not being surprising :)
Are you using the steam overlay? Tab will skip through conversations, the game tends to think it's still on after you close the overlay. Pressing tab once should sort it out.
Well shit, I've been completely neglecting this thread. I've yet to fire up the game at all... But I will!

I really like the idea for making this a monthly thing. I have a lot of good and fun games but I just need a nudge to start playing them.
As for ideas I have so much games that I wouldn't know where to start :) I recently started STALKER: SoC, started the original Deus Ex a while ago but then switched to the new one. Among other games unfinished I have Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds: Survivor, Amnesia, The Ball, Crysis (+ Warhead), Darwinia, Darksiders and a bunch more.
Other titles on my list that might be common:
Fallout: Tactics
Cave Story+
Avadon: The Black Fortress
Cthulhu Saves the World
Dungeons of Dredmor
Jagged Alliance 2
Planescape: Torment
My full list is here, for reference.
Right, made a Google Doc so everyone can throw their choices up. No reason we won't be able to use this in the months to follow as well, so I threw quite a few up there. I purposely avoided putting further adventure games on there, just to keep things diverse month-to-month.

Over-the-counter (OTC) medicines are medicines you can buy for your child without a prescription from your doctor. OTC cough and cold medicines can help relieve common cold symptoms such as cough, stuffy or runny nose, fever, body aches, and sore throat. Even though you can buy these medicines at your local grocery or drug store, that doesn't mean they're harmless. If they are taken the wrong way, they can make your child feel worse and can even be harmful.
Are over-the-counter cough and cold medicines safe for children?
When used as directed, over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medicines usually are safe for children older than 4 years of age and may help to relieve some of your child's symptoms. You should not give these medicines to children younger than 4 years of age unless your doctor says it's okay.
Your child's body processes medicine differently than your adult body. For this reason, some OTC medicines are made just for children or have specific dosing instructions for children. Do not give medicines made just for adults to your child. Talk to your family doctor if you have any questions about giving your child OTC cough or cold medicines.
Can OTC medicines cure my child's cough or cold?
No, OTC cough and cold medicines can not cure a cough or a cold and they do not shorten the amount of time your child will be sick. They can only help relieve your child's symptoms.
What questions should I ask before I give my child an OTC medicine?
If a doctor, nurse or pharmacist recommends you give your child an OTC medicine, be sure to ask these questions:
- Why are you recommending this medicine?
- How much medicine should I give my child?
- How often should I give my child this medicine?
- What effect should this medicine have on my child's symptoms?
- Will this medicine cause any side effects?
- Is there anything my child should avoid eating or doing while taking this medicine?
How can I be sure I'm giving my child the right amount of medicine?
Read the directions on the drug label to learn how much medicine to give your child and how often to give it to him or her. If you have any questions about how much medicine you should give your child, call your family doctor or pharmacist.Follow these tips to help make sure you give your child the right amount of medicine:
- Give only the amount recommended on the medicine's label. Don't assume that more medicine will work better or quicker. Giving your child too much medicine can be dangerous.
- Don't use an ordinary kitchen spoon to measure liquid medicine. Instead, ask your pharmacist for a measuring device (such as a spoon made for measuring medicine, or a syringe or a cup) that is labeled with both teaspoons (tsp) and milliliters (mL).
- An OTC label may say to give the medicine to your child "every 6 hours." This generally means the medicine can be taken 4 times a day. It doesn't usually mean you need to wake your child up during the night to take medicine.
- Keep a record (1-page PDF) of which OTC medicines you are giving to your child and when you last gave your child a dose. If you take your child to the doctor, take this list with you.
An appropriate liquid-medicine measuring device should be labeled with both teaspoons (tsp) and milliliters (mL).
What should I do if my child has a bad response to an OTC cough or cold medicine?
If your child has a bad response to any OTC medicine, stop giving him or her the medicine and tell your doctor right away. If you keep a medicine log (1-page PDF) for your child, bring it along to your child's appointment. You will need important information about what happened, including:
- Name of the medicine
- How much was given
- What it was used to treat
- The side effects or bad response
- Names of other medicines your child was taking at the same time
What else can I do to relieve my child's cough and cold symptoms?
There are a number of ways to help your child feel better without giving him or her medicine. The most important thing to do is make sure your child gets plenty of rest and drinks lots of fluids. If your child has a stuffy nose, saline nose drops can be a safe, nonirritating way to fight congestion. Placing a cool-mist humidifier in your child's room overnight can also help relieve a stuffy nose, congestion or cough. (Just be sure to keep the humidifier clean in order to prevent the growth of bacteria.) Or, turn your bathroom into a steam room by closing the door and turning the shower on hot. Sit outside the shower with your child for about 15 minutes.

It was a familiar story at Gander Green Lane on Saturday as Sutton enjoyed plenty of the ball, played some pleasing football and spent a large proportion of the 90 minutes attacking, but again finished with only a point to show for their efforts and are now the only Blue Square Bet South team without a league win following Tonbridge's 4-2 defeat of Boreham Wood.
It would have been a travesty had U's not taken something from the game, as goalkeeper Tom Lovelock has scarcely a shot to save all afternoon and was only beaten when Simon Downer temporarily lost his bearings four minutes before half time.
For all the pleasant football, though, a lot of it was played too far away from goal to hurt Havant in a first half in which Clark Masters was little busier than Lovelock.
Havant's attacking threat took a blow early on when Sahr Kabba, who has often caused U's problems in his Weston-super-Mare days, was forced to limp off.
But they did have a half chance when a cross was headed down for Christian Nanetti, who had momentarily nipped ahead of Anthony Riviere but was forced by the defender's fine recovery to shoot high over the bar.
Harry Beautyman wasted Sutton's best moment when he failed to control a Riviere cross after arriving late at the far post.
The afternoon then took a sharp downward turn when Ollie Palmer's cross from the right saw Downer turn the ball in to his own net as he tried to clear at the near post.
Sutton's reaction was a double substitution at half time and a more direct approach, and within a minute of his arrival Stefan Payne was making his presence felt as Craig Watkins' low cross arrived at his feet, and his low shot was blocked by former Sutton defender Sam Page, sliding in with more than a suspicion of handball.
A mistake by Jamie Stuart allowed Ryan Moss the chance to double Havant's lead but he shot wide and for much of the rest of the half it was a question of whether Sutton could score as they spent long periods in the visitors' half but again found their efforts frustrated in or around the edge of the penalty area.
Nick McKoy won a free kick right on the edge of the penalty area only for Beautyman's shot to rebound off the defensive 'wall', but with twenty minutes left the breakthrough came from a free kick much further out which was lifted in by Gareth Gwillim and headed on to Watkins beyond the far post.
He headed the ball back across goal, and although for a moment it seemed as though this chance would also go begging Dundas, arguably Sutton's best player on the day, eventually forced it over the line.
U's pressed for the winner, but Havant were happy to defend and then clear long in to the Sutton half.
There were half chances, with McKoy volleying over, Payne's shot blocked and Beautyman driving a shot across goal, but nothing more as U's had to settle for the point.

kindly help me, how i can align this! thanks
The elements are being called in via iframes so you will need to position the iframe to align them as you will have no control on the actual content in the iframe.
As you have no hooks to use you could try this but it will affect all iframes.
Otherwise you would need to wrap that section in a classed div and apply the rule above using the parents class.
ep sorry i am not expert, can u give me step by step code to this
Well the first thing to try is just to open up your css file and then add the rule I gave you above and save it.
Try that first and if it doesn't fix the problem or causes other problems then we'll try something else.
yeah great. its done

Id it's not a direct css question then the topic should be moved to web design or somewhere more specific.
thanks let me create a new post on web design section

text: Posted December 6, 2012 · Report post Ok i'm pretty sure i wont be the only one who has these questions, so ill get straight to it. 1. How warm should the water i use to wash my face with be? And how warm is too warm? 2. Is it ok to wash and use the cleansing step during my shower and will it irritate my skin if i let the shower hose run water directly on my face? 3. If i only clean my face with the cleanser for less than 10 second, how is that enough time for the cleanser to work? 4. When i use the mosturizer, even after an hour or more after i finished all 3 steps (cleaning, treatment, mosturizer) would it be ok to just use only the mosturizer for daily flakiness? (like when i smile or something and it seems like the skin around my mouth is breaking) 5. the AHA+ treatment, after 1 month of the treatment, do i use that after my mosturizer or instead of my mosturizer? 6. For any of the following bottles, (BP , mosturizer, AHA+, or jojoba oil) do i have to use a sunscreen? and if so how strong? 7. I hope im not the only one with this situation but, i sometime get a pimple on the outside of my nostril. are there specific steps, on using the regimin for that area? Thanks in advance for helping me and others who might have these questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll never have to eat those stale, flavorless blobs from the grocery store again, once you learn how to make your own marshmallows! Imagine: cinnamon spice marshmallows topping off your hot chocolate on a cool fall evening, vanilla bean marshmallows toasted atop your sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving or blushing, pink rose water marshmallows dipped in dark chocolate for Valentine's Day…The possibilities are endless with these gooey little morsels!
With the holidays right around the corner, marshmallows make excellent gifts. Place several marshmallows, some graham crackers, and a chocolate bar in a box for a homemade s'more kit. You can also wrap marshmallows in cellophane and place in an nice mug with a packet of gourmet hot chocolate for another great gift idea!
Try replacing the corn syrup with honey, agave or even molasses for an interesting twist. Virtually any flavor can be added from lemon juice to rum! Try adding different extracts or spices or even a pinch of salt on top of each to cut the sweetness. You can even use food coloring and cookie cutters to make them fun and festive. The only limit to the possibilities is remembering to keep all the ingredients proportionate (i.e. if you want to add 2 TBSP of limoncello, remove 2 TBSP of water).
Though the recipe may look long, these could not be easier to make. All you need is a mixer and your imagination!
Homemade Marshmallows
• Vegetable oil or spray for coating pan
• About 1 cup confectioners' sugar for coating pan and marshmallows
• 3 (1/4-ounce) envelopes powdered unflavored gelatin
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extractPastry brush; 1 (9-inch) square baking pan; small, fine-mesh sieve; 4 1/2-quart or larger stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; candy thermometer
Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil.
Put 1/2 cup water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Sprinkle the gelatin into the bowl and stir briefly to make sure all the gelatin is in contact with water. Let soften while you make the sugar syrup.
In a heavy 3- to 4-quart saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Place over moderate heat and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Put a candy thermometer into the boiling sugar syrup and continue boiling (the mixture may foam up, so turn the heat down slightly if necessary), without stirring, until the thermometer registers 240°F (soft-ball stage). Remove the saucepan from the heat and let stand briefly until the bubbles dissipate slightly.
With the mixer on low speed, carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the softened gelatin. Gradually increase the mixer speed to high and beat until the marshmallow is very thick and forms a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
Scrape the marshmallow into the prepared pan (it will be very sticky) and use a wet spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top. Let stand uncovered at room temperature, until the surface is no longer sticky and you can gently pull the marshmallow away from the sides of the pan with your fingertips; at least 4 hours or overnight.
Dust a cutting board with confectioners' sugar. Use a rubber spatula to pull the sides of the marshmallow from the edge of the pan (use the spatula to loosen the marshmallow from the bottom of the pan if necessary) and invert onto the cutting board. Dust the top with confectioners' sugar.
Brush a long thin knife or a chef's knife with vegetable oil and dust with confectioners' sugar to prevent sticking; continue dusting the knife as necessary. Cut lengthwise into 8 strips, then crosswise into eighths, to form a total of 64 squares. (For larger marshmallows, cut lengthwise into 6 strips, then crosswise into sixths, to form a total of 36 squares.) Coat marshmallows, one at a time, in confectioners' sugar.Tip: A larger pan such as a 9 x 13″ or even a jelly roll pan can be used as well. Recipe can make up to 70 marshmallows. DO AHEAD: Marshmallows can be stored, layered between sheets of wax paper or parchment in an airtight container in a dry place at cool room temperature, for up to 30 days.

Low Fat Chicken Curry
This is a fabulously flavoured tangy curry which is packed with spice. It is worth investing in a food processor or a blender.
|Low Fat Chicken Curry
|You can make your sauces at the weekend and use them throughout the week. As an alternative to chicken, use parboiled mixed vegetables.
|Serves 2-3
2 tomatoes
With a knife, score the skin of the tomatoes. Place them in a bowl of hot water from the kettle for about a minute. As the skin starts to come away from the flesh of the tomatoes, remove them from the water with a slotted spoon. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel away the skin. Place them in a food processor with the root ginger and blend until almost smooth.

Kobus leche
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Kobus leche
|Species Authority:
|Gray, 1850
|Infra-specific Taxa Assessed:
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Four distinct lechwe populations are recognized as subspecies (Ansell and Banfield 1979, Birungi and Arctander 2001): Black Lechwe (K. l. smithemani); Kafue Lechwe (K. l. kafuensis); Red Lechwe (K. l. leche); and the extinct Roberts' Lechwe (K. l. robertsi). A fifth taxon, the Upemba Lechwe (K. l. anselli) from south-eastern DR Congo, which Cotterill (2005) described as a distinct species, is treated here provisionally as a subspecies of the Lechwe.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|IUCN SSC Antelope Specialist Group
|Mallon, D.P. (Antelope Red List Authority) & Hoffmann, M. (Global Mammal Assessment)
Remains widespread in South-Central Africa though restricted to swamp and floodplain margins. Although all surviving subspecies have undergone substantial declines, most populations are now stable or increasing and total numbers estimated at ca. 200,000 (East 1999). The species' conservation status should not deteriorate further as long as its habitats are maintained in several key areas - in particular Bangweulu (Black Lechwe), Kafue Flats (Kafue Lechwe) and Okavango, Linyanti, Busanga and Caprivi (Red Lechwe) - and illegal hunting is adequately controlled.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|The distribution of the Lechwe is discontinuous, with major populations restricted to extensive wetlands in Botswana, Namibia, Angola and Zambia, and remnants of populations in south-east DR Congo. Present distribution is much the same as its historical distribution, except that range has contracted, particularly over the last century (East 1999; Jeffery and Nefdt in press). The ranges of the four subspecies are as follows (from Jeffery and Nefdt in press):
The Kafue Lechwe is confined to the Kafue Flats in central Zambia.
The Black Lechwe is confined to the southern half of the Bangweulu Swamps of northern Zambia. It is unlikely to survive in its former range on the Chambeshi floodplains along the upper Luapula floodplain that forms the common frontier between Zambia and south-eastern DRC.
Red Lechwe are found in the Okavango Delta, and the Kwando/Linyanti/Chobe system of northern Botswana; the Okavango, Kwando/Linyanti/Chobe, Mashi, and Zambezi River systems of north-east Namibia; and the upper Zambezi and middle Kafue of Zambia.
The extinct Robert's Lechwe was reportedly restricted to within the Luongo and Kalungwishi drainage systems of the lower Luapula locality of north-east Zambia.
The Upemba Lechwe is restricted to the Upemba wetlands, Kamalondo depression, in the Katanga
Province of south-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (Cotterill 2005).

|Population estimates based on aerial surveys are available for all of the major surviving Lechwe populations. East (1999), correcting for undercounting biases, produced a total population estimate of 98,000 Red Lechwe (85% in the Okavango Delta), 78,000 Kafue Lechwe and 36,000 Black Lechwe. Overall population trends are stable or increasing for the Black and Kafue Lechwes and for the Red Lechwe in protected areas, but are decreasing for the Red Lechwe outside protected areas (East 1999).
The Kafue Lechwe population has been monitored for many years, and has the most reliable time-series of population records. In the early 1970s, estimates consistently put the population at between 90,000 and 110,000. By the early 1980s the population had been reduced to between 40,000 and 45,000, but has increased thereafter slowly to between 50,000 and 70,000 (East 1999; Jeffery and Nefdt in press, and references therein).
Black Lechwe increased from 16,000-17,000 in the late 1960s to about 40,000 in 1980 and subsequently decreased to 30,000, where it seems to have stabilised since the late 1980s (East 1999; Jeffery and Nefdt in press).
The Upemba Lechwe population of DR Congo has declined from about 20,000 to less than 1,000 since the 1980s (Cotterill 2005).
Roberts Lechwe is extinct.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Lechwe are associated with wetlands, preferring the shallow water margins of floodplains and swamps (less than a metre deep), although they may occasionally swim across deep-water areas. They typically frequent light woodlands and termitaria grasslands on the periphery of inundated floodplains, floodplain grasslands and water-meadows among seasonally inundated floodplains, shallow water meadows of permanently inundated swamps and lagoons, and occasionally papyrus and reed beds of permanent deep-water swamps (Jeffery and Nefdt in press). Southern Lechwe are grazers, feeding mainly on floodplain and aquatic grasses. Nefdt (1996) discusses an instance in which Lechwe adapted their reproductive behaviour to changes in ecology including those induced by human activities.
|Terrestrial; Freshwater
|Major Threat(s):
Lechwes have been eliminated from large parts of their former range by poaching for meat. Poaching is implicated in apparent large-scale changes in the dry season distribution of Black Lechwe, with a dramatic decrease in the numbers occupying the western end of the main Bangweulu Swamps where poaching is intense. In contrast, its numbers appear to be stable or increasing in the central section of the main swamp, and there has been a steady increase in the dry season population on the 100 km² Chimbwi Plain in south-eastern Bangweulu (East 1999). Commercial poaching is also the primary reason for the dramatic decline in numbers of the Upemba Lechwe (Cotterill 2005).
Droughts and disruption of the natural flooding regime are significant causes of population decline. For example, water flow on the Kafue floodplain has been regulated almost entirely by human needs since the construction of hydroelectric dams at the eastern and western ends of the Flats in the 1970s. The Kafue Flats are also used for livestock grazing and the peripheral area is densely settled, particularly in the south. As already noted, the population of Kafue Lechwe decreased from 90,000-100,000 in the early 1970s, before the closure of the dams, to 40,000-50,000 in the early to mid-1980s (East 1999).
|Conservation Actions:
Today, Lechwes survive mainly in and around protected areas and game reserves.
Red Lechwe occur in the Moremi G.R. and Chobe N.P. (Botswana), Sioma Ngwezi, Liuwa Plains and Kafue National Parks, and the West Zambezi and Kasonso-Busanga Game Management Areas (Zambia), Kameia N.P. and the Luando, Mavinga and Luiana Game Reserves (Angola), and the Western Caprivi G.R. and the Mahango Game Park (Namibia) (Jeffery and Nefdt in press).
Kafue Lechwe occur only in Lochinvar and Blue Lagoon National Parks, both Ramsar sites, and the Kafue Flats Game Management Area in Zambia (Jeffery and Nefdt in press).
Black Lechwe occur only in the Bangweulu Game Management Area, and the Kalasa-Mukoso Game Management Area, while the Upemba National Park is the only known protected area refuge for the Upemba Lechwe (Jeffery and Nefdt in press).
The long-term survival of the lechwe in the wild is totally dependent on the effective protection and management of its remaining populations and their wetland habitats in a few critical areas, in particular Bangweulu (Black Lechwe), Kafue Flats (Kafue Lechwe), Okavango, Linyanti, Busanga and Caprivi (Red Lechwe), and Upemba N.P. (Upemba Lechwe). A significant proportion of the species' total numbers occurs outside national parks and game reserves (>80% for the Red Lechwe). It is therefore likely that both revenue generation through sustainable offtake by sport hunters which capitalises on the species' value as a trophy animal and the development of sustainable harvesting to provide meat for local people, e.g., in Bangweulu and Kafue Flats, will play an increasingly important role in the conservation of lechwe populations (East 1999).
Populations of Lechwe are maintained in captivity.

Ben Roethlisberger's vision has cleared. The playoff hopes for his team, however, are far murkier.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback understands whatever wiggle room the Steelers had vanished in a maddening loss in Seattle last weekend, when he threw for 456 yards before leaving in the fourth quarter with a concussion. Roethlisberger's symptoms abated quickly though not before continuing a trend. Heading into the first weekend of December, Roethlisberger has started and finished just three of Pittsburgh's 11 games.
The Steelers (6-5) have somehow remained in the thick a muddled postseason race, though how much longer they can stick around could depend on if they can handle the resilient Colts (6-5) on Sunday night. Pittsburgh is just 3-4 against AFC opponents this season with playoff locks Cincinnati and Denver still on the schedule. A loss to Indianapolis and Pittsburgh could have to win out to play deep into January, a rugged prospect for a group that's looked equal parts explosive and erratic for much of the fall.
"We realize the significance of this opportunity this weekend," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said.
So do the Colts, who are tied with Houston for the lead in the AFC North even with star quarterback Andrew Luck limited to seven games because of various injuries. Enter Matt Hasselbeck, who is unbeaten (4-0) while filling in. Heady territory for a 40-year-old nearly a decade removed from his prime.
"I think probably people would have thought it unlikely, myself included," Hasselbeck said. "I have to work hard and prove I'm still able to do things and play well, play a young man's game. I've worked hard at those things."
Namely avoiding mistakes and big hits. Hasselbeck's quarterback rating (94.4) is nearly 20 points better than Luck thanks to the understanding that there's no need to be the hero. Hasselbeck gets rid of the ball quickly rather than hang onto it in hopes of making a play and risk getting drilled. Those days are long gone.
"I backed up Brett Favre in Green Bay and we were running the same offense, but he was running it differently," Hasselbeck said. "He just had a laser of an arm and he was stiff arming guys. I'm probably a little more by the book."
One that could provide a compelling new chapter if Hasselbeck can become the first 40-something ever to win five consecutive starts, something Favre didn't even manage in the twilight of his career.
"I don't think there's anything Matt hasn't seen from a defensive perspective and standpoint," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "You see something new week in and week out from your opponent, he's able to sniff some things out, figure things out and get us in the right play and protection."

Islam will truly rule the world. Following this difficult time, Islam will rule the world, insha'Allah. Our Prophet (saas) also says this. "Nothing can happen against the law of Allah." "Is the rule of disbelief appropriate?" "Yes, it is". "Is the dominion of Islam appropriate?" "No, that is inappropriate". Allah has made both disbelief and Islam rule the world. He caused Islam to rule the world in the time of the Prophet Solomon (as) and Dhu'lqarnayn (as). The system of the antichrist has reigned in this age. But now Islam will reign, insha'Allah.
Islam is the name for the sum of our warmest behaviors that most benefit one another. Islam is what is meant by people not frightening one another, loving each other for Allah's sake, and loving Allah with a passion and fearing Him.
Pork meat looks very unpleasant and unhealthy. I would not eat it even if it were lawful. In the same way I would not eat monkey flesh if that were lawful, either.
Backwardness is really a terrible subconscious scourge. The Ottomans discovered that back in their day. And people are realizing it more all the time. For one thing, lies are a natural weapon of backwardness. Reactionaries imagine they are very clever. They give the impression of knowing all about love and art. When we look at the Qur'an, the Prophet Solomon (as) was an exceedingly high quality person, and our Prophet (saas) was extraordinarily top quality person. His language, life style, ways of addressing people, manners and gentleness were all perfect. Our nation also possesses that sensitivity, and it is a most excellent one. Otherwise there would be a grave danger.
The Prophet Joseph (as) was a heroic, highly intelligent person who attached great importance to beauty and esthetics. His way of addressing people, speech, sitting down and standing up and eating and everything were all flawless. That is how Muslims should be. But they then produced a more unrefined system. What is this? You ask, and they say, "Islam." "What are you?" "I am a Muslim." You look and you see they understand nothing about art or love or beauty.
One characteristic of backward people is that they do not love Allah at all. They regard our Prophet (saas) as a savior from the oppression Allah will inflict, Allah is beyond this. They do not trust Allah. They regard our Prophet (saas) or holy people as saviors from Allah who want to inflict suffering or oppression on them, Allah is beyond this. They even dare to make jokes about Allah and religion, Allah is beyond this. They appear placid, but they are full of rage. That placidity comes from cowardice. Given the chance they have a predisposition to shed blood, in proportion to the opportunity afforded them. Reactionaries are most self-satisfied. They have enormous pride and obstinacy. They try to give the impression of humility, but they still put on airs. Reactionaries are also idolaters. They regard the words of the Qur'an and our Prophet (saas) as inadequate. They regard the Age of Felicity as a nightmare. They prefer their own conception of religion.
The Muslims in Turkey are the Muslims who live by Islam in the best quality manner. Anatolian families raise their children very well. They have never been corrupted, amazingly enough. Neither the communist movement in Soviet times, nor the atheist freemasons nor the alleged organization Ergenekon have been able to touch them. They were hugely well organized. One must support the state. Good people must support one another. The good must support the good. Their political affiliations are irrelevant. It would be terrible to withhold love because of party differences. That would be like racial discrimination, Allah is beyond this. We are one nation. Political party means competing to serve, a contest to see who can govern best.
Hopelessness is a very bad thing. I can see that some of our brothers do not understand Allah's might. They believe in the power of atheistic freemasonry and communism, but have difficulty in believing in Allah. I ask, "Will atheist freemasons rule the world?" And they say, "Of course, it has already happened, so why not?" "Can China rule the world on its own?" "Of course." "And America?" "That, too." "And what about the Turkish-Islamic Union?" "Never," they say. "That is against the law of Allah," they say. Allah has shown His law in the verses of the Qur'an. Is there a single verse in the Qur'an that says that Islam will not rule the world? On the contrary, there are many verses pointing to the global dominion of Muslims. There are explicit examples. It happened in the time of the Prophet Solomon (as), and of Dhu'lqarnayn (as) and in the region of the Prophet Joseph (as) in his time. But hopelessness and pessimism is a grave sickness. Bediuzzaman emphasized this, the way that where there is pessimism there is infertility, lethargy and stagnation.
This attitude on the part of evangelicals will calm down still further and there will be peace and calm in the region, insha'Allah, but everyone must work to that end. Everyone must talk about Turkish-Islamic Union, Islamic Union. Some of our brothers try to smother Islamic Union and cover it up, Allah is beyond this. That is a very dangerous path. They are reluctant to speak about Islamic Union because it means the system of the Mahdi. The system of the Mahdi means Turkish-Islamic Union, Islamic Union. Opposition to Hazrat Mahdi (as) means opposition to Islamic Union. There can be no "union" without Hazrat Mahdi (as), and no Turkish-Islamic Union. There has to be mass fervor and mass love of Hazrat Mahdi (as). We must fervently love the Prophet Jesus (as), the Messiah. Muslims must feel a strong passion for the Prophet Jesus (as). What a wondrous thing it is for Allah to send back the prophet He raised into His presence after a gap of 2000 years. When I talk about the Prophet Jesus (as) they say, "why do you speak of the Prophet Jesus (as), he is the Christian prophet." When I mention the Prophet Moses (as), "but he is the prophet of the Jews." They tend to discriminate between the luminous prophets of Allah and adopt an infertile and unhappy style. We love them all. Our Prophet (saas) is the light of the world. He is the beloved of Allah, but does that mean we should not love the others? Allah will not allow Islam to rule the world without love of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
Say, 'We believe in Allah and what has been sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Tribes, and what Moses and Jesus were given, and what all the prophets were given by their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. We are Muslims submitted to Him.' (Surat al-Baqara, 136)
The evangelicals have a project, a project of blood. They used to say there would be blood up to horses' manes, but I put a stop to that. But that does not mean I have stopped individual or regional plans. The time for them to initiate Armageddon has come and gone. They cannot do it now.
In the end times, the true lords of the broad sphere of life, Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers come in the End Times, by Almighty Allah's leave, and broaden that sphere and cause those seeds to flourish. We will watch from our graves and give thanks to Allah (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, The Ratifying Stamp of the Unseen, p. 172; Kastamonu Addendum, p. 72)
1. in the End Times
2. the broad sphere of life
3. the true lords of the broad sphere of life
4. Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers
you have made a collective personality out of an individual, how will you make the Mahdi a collective personality?
5. by Almighty Allah's leave, and broaden that sphere and cause those seeds to flourish. We will watch from our graves and give thanks to Allah.
Let them ask that and see what kind of answers they receive.
There is Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers, and there is a collective personality consisting of them. You have turned Hazrat Mahdi (as) into a collective personality, how will you turn his followers into one?
How is it that Hazrat Mahdi (as) and his followers are the true lords of the Risale-i Nur?

Everyone bowing (ruqu`) and prostrating (sajda) themselves in prayer will be punished. Cruelty, malice, and vice will be produced; scholars and ascetics murdered; and many cities conquered. There will be hostility to the Prophet Muhammad (saas), bloodshed and destruction will be legitimate. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 37)
Everyone bowing (ruqu`) and prostrating (sajda) themselves in prayer will be punished. Cruelty, malice, and vice will be produced.We can see this is the nature of the alleged organization Ergenekon.
scholars and ascetics murdered :Their policy is constant murder. They martyr our worthy brothers.
and many cities conquered : This is a secret invasion.
There will be hostility to the Prophet Muhammad (saas), bloodshed and destruction will be legitimate: Lenin made bloodshed, terror and anarchy a precondition for Leninism. He says that quite explicitly.
There will be caliphs after me, amirs after the caliphs, and cruel tyrants after the amirs. Finally, one from Ahl al-Bayt will appear. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 84)
Our Prophet (saas) indicates that the caliphate will be abolished.
After the amirs will come cruel rulers; despotic regimes. Like Hafez Assad or Saddam, cruel rulers who inflict suffering on Muslims.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not come until Allah is openly and flagrantly denied. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 27)
We see from this that Darwinist, materialist people will emerge. They will deny the existence of Allah. They will ascribe the creation of the universe to chance and say that everything comes about without being created by Allah. They will thus deny the existence of Allah. Some will deny Him explicitly and blatantly, by setting up web sites and issuing publications. That has happened worldwide in our time, hasn't it? The hadith refers to what has happened worldwide. It refers to Darwinist, materialist philosophies. It is not only referring to posters on the sides of buses. It is also referring to the Darwinist, materialist education in all schools across the world. It is noting that a Darwinist, materialist system will develop across the world.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear after a corruption in which all forbidden things are regarded as lawful. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 23)
Drugs are lawful in Europe, and also prostitution, eating pork, drinking wine, adultery and earning interest. It is terrible corruption for these things to be considered lawful by a mass of people. In other words, unlawful things will be considered lawful. That also happens in Islamic countries across the world. There are good Muslims in those countries, too, but also people like that.
"O Hudhayfa! On that day (when Hazrat Mahdi (as) appears), they will have departed the faith. THEY WILL THINK THAT WINE IS LAWFUL AND WILL NOT PERFORM THE PRAYER (SALAT)." (Al-Uqayli "An-Najm al-saqib fi Bayan Anna al-Mahdi min Awladi Ali Ibn Abi Talib Ale't-Temam wa al-qamal)
They have not departed from the faith. Bediuzzaman also says that. In other words, it is Hazrat Mahdi's (as) duty to maintain the faith of believers. In other words, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will go into action just when a great many believers are about to abandon the faith and are about to sign up to or have already subscribed to Darwinist, materialist philosophy. And he will neutralize Darwinism.
they will think that wine is lawful : What do they say? Wine is good for the heart. What about the brain? They say it is bad for the brain. And the liver? It is bad for that, too. And the cells of the body? It harms them, too. When we ask how it is good for the heart, they say, "it contains anti-oxidants." Yes, that is true. But does plain grape juice also contain anti-oxidants? Even more so, they say. So why drink wine? There are sausages containing pork in the stores and people are unaware of that.
They will not perform the prayer (salat): This is already a worldwide phenomenon. "I am devout and keep myself covered up" people say. They cover themselves up head to toe. Do you pray? We ask. "no," they say. But I am punctilious about covering myself up. Most of my brothers and sisters are not like that, of course, and my apologies to all of them. I am referring to some people. We ask about prayer, and they say, "that is unimportant." Not praying in Islamic countries. Prayer is very rare in Egypt, Jordan and Iraq. It is not like people imagine. But the levels in Turkey are very high.

There's also Tilt To Live. Not sure if it's on anything other than iOS, but it's a simple game where you have to guide your arrow in a box-arena avoiding red dots. You destroy the dots by navigating your way to various power-ups. Keep the kills going for massive combos and aim for high score. If you get touched by a dot, you die. Sessions can last a few seconds or a few minutes depending on how intense you get into it. Pretty good fun! You might look a bit silly though on the bus trying to move your arms to tilt it though.
I shouldn't forget Doodle Jump either. Incredibly addicting, you have to tilt the device so that your automatically jumping character can safely land on the next highest platform. Avoid monsters, get power-ups to boost your height. Simple and effective.Powered by Steam. And biscuits. I'm also a twit and dabble in creative writing.

I create mobile (and web) games so I guess that's a yes!
I'm firmly of the belief that the best mobile games are written from the ground-up for the format tho - you have, effectively, half a mouse and one button (drag and tap) and so you have to be creative within that.
Yeah, it leads to a tonne of match-3 games - but I don't mind because some of them are really, really compulsive and also work within the time constraints that mobile gaming tends to include.
I don't really know why but iOS's obsession with 'design' has led to some truly fantastic approaches to games/interfaces too - games like Tiny Wings and Spelltower are as much about how they look/feel as how they play (I'm actually not a fan of SpellTower's gameplay - it's clearly popular because it's popular).
I don't see mobile games replacing consoles or my PC,it's just interesting in it's own right. It's a bit like the home computer gaming boom all-over-again, the games don't replace me need to goto the arcade but they bring new things to me (I'd never have played Lords of Midnight in an arcade, would I?)
Outstanding examples?
Dungeon Raid and 10000000 (zeros!?) are fantastic takes on the Puzzle Quest format
Drop7 and it's clones (notably DropZap) fascinate me - if only because I suspect they're actually pot-luck wrapped in 'apparent cleverness' - but I've buried days into them anyway
Fairway Solitaire is more addictive than any game involving cards should ever have been (OK - it was on PC first I think??)
Cave's shooters take something which shouldn't work on a mobile device and make it work to fantastic effect, simply be not being afraid to change stuff - not being stuck with crap controls also helps (hello, I'm talking to YOU, Blazing Star)
Puzzlejuice is my crowning example tho - because it takes all the most popular mobile game formats and slams them into one game, complete with that 'iOS feel' and it makes my brain throb :)
I bought my iPad pretty much solely based on experiences using one on long flights (got try one while flying across Canada, yearly trips to New Zealand have ensured that it sees continued extended use) so I actually look for games with more depth, which as I understand it is not the regular way to play on a mobile device, but so be it.
So far my favourite game has been Aquaria which I found to be an amazing adaption of the desktop version. It was the first (and so far only) iOS game I've played that didn't feel like it was a scaled back version compared to what I would play on my PC, it has wonderful artwork, beautiful music and sound, the controls felt natural and overall it's just a amazing world to be able lose oneself in. Would definitely recommend headphones.
Have also picked up Avernum: Escape from the Pit which has been fun, but the experience was greatly improved with the addition of a stylus. In fact it was a little annoying without a more accurate pointing device. Still, a fun party based RPG from what I've seen so far.
Game Dev Story is something I dip in and out of while I'm reading or watching movies with a more fun and light atmosphere and better for short play periods, though they can extend when you really get into it.
Magic 2013 has probably sucked more time then I really should let it, but as an ex-Magic player it just scratches the itch enough despite only having prebuilt decks with customization options as opposed to true deck building. Must admit to never actually having played a multiplayer game with it since Cockatrice just works better for that (why can't I cast a lightning bolt during my upkeep damnit). So as a Magic player it has some niggles, but it's still a great transfer of the experience to mobile device, also very pretty.
I've found Save Toshie DX to be a surprisingly popular and fun game for introducing new people to the iPad. Very silly, usually fun to fail and surprisingly easy for people to get into.
I would also shout out to Canabalt, Tiny Wings, DoodleJump, Mirror's Edge as quick dip games.
On Android and on a small screen, I really enjoyed the free version of Gem Miner, and will be picking up one or the other sequel at some point. It's a nice little resource management game.
I also have Gurk, which is an old RPG from before phones with apps mostly had touch screens. I haven't got very far in it, but it looks like fun.

SUPER HEXAGON, by Terry Cavanagh of VVVVVwhatever game is the iOS game that I have played the most. Instantly addictive twitch-action game that is basically a maze game from the TI-89 souped up with color and chiptunes. Wonderful game.
If i had an iPad i would very much be looking forward to the Enhanced Edition of Baldurs Gate that is coming out. but i don't so i'll just have to play it on pc.Lookin' 4 Indie Bundles? We track 'em! http://steamcommunity.com/groups/IndieBundleTracker
Just thought Id let you guys know. Terry Cavanaghs impossible and addictive new game, Super Hexagon has just been released on Android and is on a short time offer of just 88p.
I enjoyed VVVVVV lots and thought Id give this game a punt over the weekend on my PC. I initially thought it was a fun little game, but not enough content and far too hard for me to dedicate much time too. I kept playing it because of the music though which is honestly some of the best I have heard. The mechanics of the game and style then really started growing on me and I spent ages just hypnotised by its psychedelic style and felt compelled to keep playing and beat my best time not something I am usually fussed with in anything but racing games.
I then found out it had been released on Android just that day and had been reduced so I bought the game all over again (this is the first Android game I have ever bought) just to play on the commute to work. Unfortunately, the controls dont feel nearly as precise as on my PC (they felt off on my PC until I disabled V-Sync though) and there is a bug on the Galaxy S2 that means I dont get the cool music (although I saw a comment from Terry saying he is working on this) plus, this game doesnt work at all on the Nexus 7 according to things I have read.
However, its early days and if these problems get fixed, we are looking at one of the best recent indie games to be played on the move. I cant wait to get good at it so I can show all my mates how super-human I am (this game makes you look like a god of games even if you are just average at it).
Just look at the trailer if you arent sure. It looks impossible but even after a couple of hours I am coming close to pulling off what happens in that video (not quite that good yet though).
I got my Iphone 5 over the weekend and did a bit of fiddling with Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion. I can't believe how much game there is in it, for the price, and how polished it is, and it's on a fucking phone. What a time to be alive. I would have paid £30 for a game like this on PC ten years back and not regretted it. If you like strategy or turn based games or just good things you should buy it for your IOS device. I suspect the Banner Saga might have taken more than a hint of inspiration from this.
Most mobile games hold my attention for about 5 minutes and then I never play them again, I think Street Fighter 4 for the iPhone was the only one I went back to repeatedly. So many turd games in the mobile area, if I'm travelling I prefer to read a book.

I have a Nexus S and a Nexus 7.
I played cut the ropes and angry birds when I got the phone first time. Tried Canabalt and Osmos. But never really played them indepth.
On the Nexus 7 tablet I played loads of Osmos HD. But that was being I had insomnia and the games music is great to make you fall asleep.
Nothing so far that I was 'addicted' to and wanted to play badly.

Yes. I use to game on my HP laptop all the time... what? WHAT? Why the funny looks?
Spirits -lovely Lemmings clone with awesome relaxing music, atmosphere and graphics. Something you may play before sleep.
It works great even on cheaper Android (iPhone, PC, Mac and Linux too) phones.
Oh, speaking of Picross. Any particular games like this for Android? I saw a few free ones, but they was rather poorly made and control was bad.
Pretty much all of the games I play on my smartphone are from the humble bundle, and in every case I preferred playing the game on a PC. Though I have a few games still installed on it: Eufloria, World of Goo, and Splice. Having already played World of Goo, I played Splice the most, and enjoyed it a lot. The limited play area and simple interface make it an ideal fit for playing on mobile devices, but I'd still prefer it on a larger screen.
I am a mobile game addict. I have too many to count, between my iPod touch and android. Some of my favorites:
Anything Infinity Blade.
Into The Dead - First person zombie infinite runner...nomnom
Phoenix Wright. Works great on my iPod
Mage Gauntlet
100 Rogues - One of my favorite roguelikes for my phone.
Cytus - like DJ-Max, but on your iPhone.
Pen and Paper
Any of the final fantasy ports (if you can get past the evil price tag)
Game Dev Story
Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo - Gah, right in the nostalgia! Really good if you have kids that you let play with your phone.
Zombies, Run! - Not a standard game, for sure, it is an exercise aid that has you running from zombies during your workout, while telling a story via Bioshock-esque audio logs.
Ohk, and how could I forget Temple Run 2?
I've tried, and bounced off, a bunch of free games. Bought a Humble Android bundle, so I can also recommend Splice as a cool puzzle game. The only game I've bought otherwise is Football Manager 2013, which is pretty good - Like it's PC parent's Classic mode, it strips away a lot of the stuff that slows down progress, and it's quite satisfying whiling away a few minutes getting a game or two done.
I have a few games on my iPod. Peggle, Plants vs Zombies and the like because they are perfect for the train.
More mobile specific I've recently played Drop7, New Star Soccer, Spelltower and Wordament. Small screens are a good format for puzzle type games.
I put some terrible Flash games on my Cowon S9, but they were terrible. That's about it, I guess.

I've been wanting to branch out and try my hand at making other kinds of pizza lately. My biggest problem is that I don't plan ahead well, and a lot of doughs take time to prepare. Not something you can come home from work and whip up. Now there's nothing wrong with buying store bought dough when in a pinch (or from a local place) or using a bread machine dough (I do both all the time), but there are other types of pizza I've been wanting to try, one of them being New York style. I decided to go with the recipe on the Serious Eats website for my first attempt.
I made the dough Tuesday after work so that it would have time for a cold fermenting in the fridge for 24 hours. Interestingly enough, their recipe calls for making the dough in a food processor.
Wednesday, I took the dough out of the fridge and allowed it to warm up for two hours in the oven with the light on. Dough was a little stickier to work with at first than what i've been used to, but with a bit of flour it became easier. Kept the sauce light, went with fresh grated mozz, a bit of Asiago, some parm-regg and just a sprinkle of cheddar and then topped it with pepperoni.
The recipe had it going for 12-15 minutes at 500F. This is about halfway through. I didn't like how the crust was coming along, so I brushed it with some olive oil with some garlic powder mixed in.
After 15 minutes, I went ahead and pulled the pie. Wasn't quite happy with the top, but was afraid the bottom was going to get burned, so I brought it inside and popped it under the broiler for a minute of two.
Required side view of the crust
And how the crust came out for Serious Eats
Wasn't quite what I was expecting, but getting closer. And some of that is my fault. I didn't read the recipe carefully and when I went to make the dough Tuesday I saw that it called for bread flour. All I had was AP flour. That probably made the most difference.
Second, at this I'm not sure on, the recipe calls for Instant Yeast. What I had was Fleischmann's Rapid Rise Yeast. I really don't know if they are the same, but I looked in the store and nothing said Instant Yeast. So I don't know if that was a factor.
Third, the recipe says it will make 3 12-14" pies. I generally make my pies in the 12" range (as that's how big my pizza pan is which I carry it out to the Egg on). I thought the dough was a little bit on the thick side when I stretched it out to 12". Maybe if I had stretched it out more so that it was thinner, but then would it have fit on the Egg? I think I'm gonna cut some of the dough out of the next ball and try and get it thinner.
I still have two dough balls to play with, so I think I'm gonna experiment and see how a 3 day fermenting process works out (and a 5 day after that). I think I'm on the right track and next time for sure I'm going to make sure to use bread flour. Half the fun in making pizzas is trying over and over again to get that perfect one, right?

Fabian Cancellara announced his withdrawal from the Tour de France on the race's first rest day on Tuesday, becoming the latest big name to exit, albeit the Swiss did so voluntarily.
Unlike previous winners Chris Froome, Alberto Contador, Andy Schleck and 25-time stage winner Mark Cavendish - all of whom crashed out - Cancellara chose to abandon the race prior to the Alps and Pyrenees in order to prepare for September's Road World Championships in Spain.
Cancellara said in a statement released by his Trek Factory Racing team: "I will travel home now and take a little break. The season has been long for me, starting back in Dubai (in February).
"I have done 59 days of competition this season so far and I have another big goal at the end of this season - the World Championships.
"It's not a secret that I'd like to be in my best shape there, so it's important that I take some rest."
His departure, coupled with the exits of Schleck and Danny van Poppel, leaves Trek with six remaining riders.
The Tour continues with Wednesday's 11th stage, the 187.5-kilometre route from Besancon to Oyonnax.

Elaine Reichek
2001, 2002, 2003, 2010
Website: elainereicheck.com
Elaine Reichek (b. USA) is a conceptual artist who uses many different media to examine beliefs and preconceptions about aesthetics and culture. She investigates images, texts and objects seeking out stories that she can retell through her work. Reichek has exhibited extensively in the United States and abroad, including at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, Wexner Center for the Visual Arts, Columbus, OH, Palais des Beaux-Arts, Belgium, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Ireland, and Tel Aviv Art Museum, Israel. Reichek received her BFA from Yale University and her BA from Brooklyn College. She lives and works in New York.
Initially Elaine Reichek's time at the Gardner in 2000 was spent researching for her "Adam and Eve" cycle, which included sixteen embroideries recounting the creation myth from the Genesis to the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Reichek researched the collection, culling images to add to her resources. Ultimately she used an illustration for Genesis 1:1-3 from "The Beginning of Creation", from Histoire des Ouden en Nieuwen Testaments 1700, an illustrated Bible by Pieter Mortier for a new work entitled Sampler (Perhaps No Life). The artist came back in 2002 and 2003 and produced madamimadam, a virtual exhibition of her work installed throughout the galleries of the Museum. While the museum was closed to the public, Reichek briefly placed her work into the permanent collection and documented it on film. Working with two graduate students from Massachusetts College of Art, she mixed the films, audio and text. This interactive exhibition was launched on the museum's website as part of the 2003 Boston CyberArts Festival and later published in CD-Rom format. During her residency, Elaine Reichek also hosted a sewing circle and spoke about her work in an Eye of the Beholder Lecture. She returned in 2010 for a Room Views conversation about the Dutch Room at the 20th anniversary of the museum's theft with Curator of Contemporary Art Pieranna Cavalchini and Curator of the Collection Alan Chong.
