The new American hero
NEW YORK — Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO Lloyd Blankfein is getting a $9 million stock bonus for 2009, a modest payday by Wall Street standards that appears aimed at quelling criticism of the bank's compensation practices....
"It was certainly less than expected," said Mark Borges, a principal with Compensia Inc., a Northern California compensation consulting firm. "While the fact that he's making this much won't sit well with people out of work, it seems Goldman is being sensitive to the political considerations and optics of this amount."
"It's almost as if he's taking a bullet for everyone else," Borges added.
link: Goldman Sachs Bonuses: CEO Lloyd Blankfein Gets $9 Million Stock Bonus For 2009
Putting aside the puzzling question of just what optics has to do with this guy's bonus, and noting that all the $9 million is in stock that can't be cashed for a cruelly long five years, still, dude, when this guy is hailed as a hero for only taking a $9 million bonus we are seriously screwed.
So are we going to have to txt money to help D.C. now too?
Officials urged people to huddle at home for the weekend, out of the way of crews trying to keep up with a [snow] storm that forecasters said could be the biggest for the nation's capital in modern history....
"D.C. traditionally panics when it comes to snow. This time, it may be more justifiable than most times," said Becky Shipp, who was power-walking in Arlington, Va., Friday. "I am trying to get a walk in before I am stuck with just the exercise machine in my condo."

In New York, 12 year old schoolgirl is arrested for doodling on her desk
Wonder if they frog marched her out the door in handcuffs? Why yes, yes they did.

Turbines grew up in California, won't spin in Minn.
For those who suspect residents in places like Minnesota of embellishment when it comes to their tales of bitterly cold winter weather, consider this: even some wind turbines, it seems, cannot bear it....

When just about anything is worth a try
WASHINGTON – A powerful winter storm bore down on the Mid-Atlantic on Friday with as much as two feet of snow in store for the nation's capital, where the federal government prepared to shut early.

PORTLAND, Ore. – The ketchup packet has been around for more than 40 years, and complaints about it for nearly as long: too messy, too small, too hard to open. Now ketchup giant H.J. Heinz Co. is unveiling the first major packaging change to the to-go condiment.
The new design has a base that's more like a cup for dipping and also a tear-off end for squeezing, plus it holds three times as much ketchup than a traditional packet.

Some time last summer I ordered three entirely unremarkable plain white Hanes T-shirts from a web site called "freshpair" (motto: "buy underwear in your underwear") and since then have received an apparently unending two, three times per week stream of spam which was really beginning to bug me until that underpants bomber came along and now the whole thing entirely cracks me up.

Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia said that if they began to loosen one restriction [namely, the restriction on gays serving openly as embodied in Don't Ask, Don't Tell], others might unravel, leading to a louche atmosphere brimming with "alcohol use, adultery, fraternization and body art."

Emphasis mine.
Chambliss is one of those fighting R's who took five student deferments during the Vietnam war and so is, perhaps, not intimately acquainted with the military life.

In Obama's speech, he kept circling back to a Senate where both parties are dysfunctional. The obstructionist Republicans, he observed, will say no to every single bill "just because they can." But no less culpable are the Democrats, who maintain "the largest majority in decades" even after losing Teddy Kennedy's seat — and yet would rather "run for the hills" than accomplish anything.

So, you've made your Thanksgiving Day pecan pies, right? Now it's time to take them to a whole new level of delicious.
Scrape the whole pie– yup, crust and all, into a bowl, mash it up a bit and pop it into the freezer for 2 hours. Then, the caramelly yummy delish will have firmed up and you can shape them into golf size pecan pie balls. Don't put the balls in your mouth yet! Umm, I just said that. I digress. Put the pecan pie balls back in the freezer while you melt your chocolate. You can get those little cups of melting chocolate in the baking aisle of the grocery store and melt it in the microwave.
Set down some parchment or wax paper, then using a spoon, dip the pecan pie balls into the chocolate. The melting chocolate dries quickly, so if you want to put a single salted pecan on each chocolate ball, do it within 30 seconds of plunking it on the paper. Let dry and then bite into the best piece of pie you've ever tasted. The combo of chocolate with the pecan caramel melt-in-your-mouth-with-buttery-crust….
If you need to start from scratch and bake a pecan pie, Grandma Ronnie's recipe is a show-stopper.
1/3 cup butter softened to room temperature plus 1 Tb
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 c. light corn syrup
1 1/2 heaping cups pecans + more for decorating
1 Tb vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
Directions: Preheat oven to 425. Line a 9-inch pie pan with pie crust. Put 1 Tb butter in a frying pan and melt it on medium heat. Toss in the 1 1/2 cups pecans and toast them in the butter– 5 minutes or so.
Filling: Cream butter and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in corn syrup, pecans, vanilla and salt. Fill the shell. *Bake at 425 for 10 minutes, then bake an additional 35-40 minutes at 350.
*Sometimes it takes my oven 50 minutes to cook the center of the pie. Keep an eye on it— it will congeal more once it comes out of the oven.
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
Gobble, gobble up the chocolate dipped pecan pie balls!

On Sunday I concluded what was absolutely my best Christmas ski season ever. For as long as I remember Christmas hasn't involved much skiing and if I got out once or twice I considered it a good year. This year I made it to the mountains 7 times in a 2 week period for downhill, backcountry, cross country, and hiking. I have family and friends to thank for getting me out there so often this year.
The grand finale to my great outdoors Christmas vacation was another great day at Lake Louise. As it was the Sunday before we all had to go back to work, the resort was pretty much deserted in comparison to the last 7 days. Once again, I wasn't expecting much after 2 weeks without snow and the Christmas hoards pounding and scraping the runs into long streaks of misery. The conditions were getting more 'variable' and most runs were packed hard, but overall I'd still give it a 7 out of 10. What made it a 7 was partly due to knowing where to find some good snow, partly due to skiing with enthusiastic young people (my niece and her boyfriend), and partly due to having an incredibly deep and high quality base this December. Cold temperatures also helped avoid the melt / freeze cycle that I now realize is a bigger factor than crowds when it comes to ruining the snow conditions. Yes, massive crowds will quickly eliminate the sweet pow that makes a ski day truly awesome. But a soft base can last much longer than I ever realized when it's cold and dry.
We started our day meeting Jess and Skyler at the top of the Gondola just before 11am. We planned to start out with Meadowlark but missed the turn and skied all the way to the bottom on Juniper. I can now confirm that the front side is indeed icy. But when we later skied Meadowlark it was still relatively soft although the dirt was starting to show in places. We also dropped into Grizzly Gully via the steep trees under the Top of The World chair. This run seemed to be Jess and Skyler's favourite as they loved the natural half pipe and the steep drop in through the trees. Jess was riding a snowboard and Skyler was free riding skis without poles – you get the picture. The Gully was much more scraped off than a week ago and the moguls on the sides of the Gully were extremely solid. But you could still carve everything, even without super sharp edges. There really wasn't much ice at all.
My favourite run was Hour Glass on the back side – ski the cat track from the Top of The World Chair and continue all the way around staying high as possible then drop into the steep piste on the Whitehorn side of the mountain. The snow was fantastic, there were a few rocks but I easily avoided them, the moguls were nicely form but not too deep, and the turns felt smooth from top to bottom. After a couple laps via the Paradise Chair, Jess mentioned that the long traverses on the upper and lower cat tracks were kinda boring for a snowboarder. She had a valid point.
Old Ptarmigan, Larch, and Larch Poma were all still in very good shape although I think the base was thinner than a couple days earlier. There's only so much deterioration you can replace with snowmaking and grooming. The Ptarmigan Glades were also a lot of fun still but considerably more stumpage was beginning to show.
All things considered it was a great day in the mountains with reasonably warm temperatures, plenty of sunshine, and beautiful blue sky. I know it hasn't snowed in a while but my recommendation is to take a chance anyway and you might be surprised. In the past I've skied on some pretty icy mountains and would never make a recommendation when conditions are that bad. Places like Castle, Fernie, and Revelstoke had even better snow than Louise around Christmas so I suspect conditions are really good at those resorts too. I'm not mentioning Sunshine because you can get the skinny from a more reliable source, right here in the Ryder Report.

CHAPEL HILL (WTVD) --Four protesters were arrested Tuesday during a UNC Board of Governors meeting.
More than a dozen people broke out in chants and displayed signs calling for the removal of UNC System President-elect Margaret Spelling.

The disruptions prompted board members to recess. Protesters then approached the seats vacated by board members chanting, "Stand up, fight back, the (UNC) System in under attack," as UNC Campus Police officers entered the room.
"Suddenly, I almost missed it, but really, really fast, this stream of cops came through the door and started grabbing people randomly," UNC Chapel Hill sophomore Mitch Xia said.
Students just stared vocal protests at #UNCBOG meeting #abc11eyewitness pic.twitter.com/CmwEdV0NfP— Anthony Wilson (@AnthonyABC11) January 26, 2016
Four protesters were charged with resisting an officer and disrupting an official meeting. It is unclear if they were all students.
"I think the behavior, the response of the officers here was completely dictated by the behavior of the protesters today," UNC Police Chief Jeff McCracken said. "We hate that we had to take any action, but that was their choice."
Tuesday's demonstration stems from critics' worry that Spellings will push the UNC System in another direction.
Students and school officials have been vocal about Spellings since her appointment last October.

Take four coaches and you get four snapshots of the teams who contest this weekend's World Cup semi-finals. But be careful. The camera can deceive as well as reveal. Clive Woodward was all smiles and bonhomie on Monday evening at the team's beachside retreat in Manly. It was not the backdrop that had helped him chill out. It was the figurative distance from his side's laboured victory over Wales at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium the evening before.
England had been scratchy and fitful; Woodward cranky and dismissive. One distinguished former international walked out of the post-match press conference, muttering about how charmless the England head coach had been. A few French journalists were taken aback by his abruptness. It was not Woodward's most warming performance, it has to be said, though those with sharp pens ought to carry thicker skins.
How much of Woodward transmits itself to his side? Are they prone to fits of pique? Are they temperamental? They have certainly not performed with their customary assurance.
Woodward insists that England are still building, that the better the opposition, the better they perform. There has not been too much evidence of that so far. But the team are more than the sum of Woodward's parts. If they do fail this weekend against France, then it would be right and proper to examine Woodward's coaching of the team, not his front-man performances.
There are too many strong characters in the squad, men such as Martin Johnson and Lawrence Dallaglio, for Woodward's persona to totally dominate. He runs a tight ship, however, and does let rip behind the scenes.
If some question his manner, few would challenge his methodology. The side's preparation pre-World Cup could not be faulted. England lacked for nothing. There was little to quibble over in selection. Yet England have not so far reached the levels of authority and lucidity they showed on the summer trip to New Zealand and Australia.
There is a feeling that they have perhaps all spent a bit too much time in each other's company, become too programmed and too uptight about meeting internal and external expectation. We shall see.
If England appear strangulated, France do not. A stroll round their Bondi Beach base yesterday suggested that they are in harmony with their surroundings. They are more readily accessible and welcoming than England, less structured in their dealings with the media.
"We are open with everyone so that the truth will come out and no stories be invented," said manager Jo Maso, once a star of the French back line, now a mop-haired media schmoozer.
Coach Bernard Laporte, with his more professorial air, is known as 'the Kaiser'. A former scrum-half for Begles, during an era when the team's pack believed in brawn over brain every time, Laporte has become the gamekeeper. He is a strict disciplinarian, merciless with his charges. He has a superficially benign air with his slight figure and owlish appearance. Laporte has a rapid-fire delivery and is a foil to the more laid-back Maso. The team play in their image; Laportesque in their rigour; expressive a la Maso.
It has been impossible to avoid daily sightings of Wallaby coach Eddie Jones since arrival here several weeks ago. That is the way the local media like it and that is the way fast Eddie likes it. You can script the build-up to an Australia Test match long before it takes place.
Jones, a former Randwick hooker of Japanese extraction, and one who wears a Buddist wristband for luck, knows the value of a soundbite. He choreographs the week.
Jones appears glib and opportunist, part of a fast-talking, TV-driven new breed, the coach-lite of our days. Yet he is, in fact, a deep-thinking, hard-working passionate lover of the game. His team, though, like England, do need to lighten up.
And then there is the fourth man - New Zealand's John Mitchell. He appears the most dour of them all by some distance, a dome-headed font of impenetrability. Mitchell, once Woodward's assistant, gives nothing away, and is fluent in psycho-babble management speak.
His persona away from the spotlight is much different: a good bloke who likes a chat and a few beers. Yet judge him on his public projection and you would never imagine that he is in charge of the most naturally talented, the most exciting and tantalising bunch of players in the tournament. Ironically, what the All Blacks lack is an injection of the Mitchell steel and grunt he showed when a formidable No 8 for Waikato.
Four men, four teams, four images. The truth is there somewhere - so, too, the winner.

Jake Thornton announces intentions to self-publish his games
Jake Thornton has gotten the DreadBall … umm… ball… rolling and has now announced where he's headed next with publishing.
Well DreadBall is rolling along nicely and all my other freelance work is under control. So what next?
I've mentioned self-publishing once or twice in passing, and this is something I've been considering for a long while. Now I'm all done considering and am busy trying to implement it.
What I mean by self-publishing is selling my game designs directly as PDFs, with an option for Print On Demand (POD) sites like Lulu to sort people out with hard copies if they want them.

Excellent. I'm really looking forward to Battlestorm Gothica and Mordeville!
During by their GW days I can't imagine Thornton ever matching Battlefleet Gothic but I'd still take a look at whatever games he produces.
Sorry, I meant to say judging by their GW days
Agreed. I'm waiting for him to announce Epicmaster.
I take it neither Wittdooley or Ghost have ever played any of Jake's games then. Besides if you were going to copy any companies games right now in terms of mechanics, I'm sorry but GW would be right at the bottom of the pile.
You'd take it wrong. See the longer, presumably TL;DR answer below.
We really need a good set of space fleet rules that are too heavy or too light, or full of rules issues. I'm immediately thinking of three games here… lol
Okay, when the hell did TGN become 4Chan???
Guys, he's taking a big step here, and I for one wish him luck on it. Drop the sarcasm okay?
Thanks Borzag. I'm used to it though. It's a natural reaction for people who know me from GW and haven't played my other games. DreadBall, for example, is often compared to Blood Bowl by those that haven't played it, but people who've had a try themselves never say this. In fact, they usually comment about how differently it plays. BB is the big dog in fictional sports games, and it's a natural shorthand to compare anything in that genre to it. That doesn't mean it's right – it's just a simple shorthand. Unfortunately people sometimes mistake the shorthand for the reality,
Because GW has been such a dominant force for so long, it's natural to use them as a reference point. So if I was describing Warmachine to someone who didn't know it but was familiar with Warhammer I might use that to give them a starting point. That doesn't mean that the two games are at all similar in the way they play, but both use toy soldiers on a tabletop.
BoardGameGeek has about 60,000 games listed IIRC. There's a vast amount more variety out there than most folk are aware of. Many games I see and which are hailed as innovative or unique aren't – they're just reusing old techniques and ideas (consciously or not). people would find loads of cool stuff out there if they took the time to explore further. Anyway…
Apologies for the long ramble.
If anyone is interested in what I'm up to (and can cope with long rambles) then pop over and join in the discussion. You'll be very welcome.
Jake Thornton
Meh… haters goner hate Jake.
Not everything you produce is totally awesome, but hey, not everything can be. What I can say about your games that I've played, including ToL is that you at the very least try to put your own stamp on things. Lazy comparisons are the by-product of slow minds I was once told by an exceedingly clever chap at university. Seems our hobby has plenty of slow minds in it. 😛
@SirAngry – absolutely. I don't think anyone is totally awesome all the time, me included. At least, I can't think of anyone off the top of my head. Personally, I'm very often trying to do something a little unusual with my games, and sometimes that works brilliantly, other times less so. Even when I think it's worked perfectly it might not suit you, and vice versa, which is fine.
Well… I know I'm looking forward to whatever you're coming out with.
… and not just 'cause I've got a quota to fill for news posts in a day. :p
sits at window, eagerly awaiting DreadBall order
I've played Dwarf Kings Hold, Pandora and Last Patrol. I've also played a great deal of Necromunda, which I believe Jake worked on as well. I think Dwarf Kings Hold and Pandora are unoriginal and derivitive, and as such the gameplay is uninspiring. Couple that with the fact that, compared to other similiar products, the production values of both are sub par (and yes, I realize that isn't specifically Mr. Thornton's fault), neither of which have ever caused me any great want to purchase.
Lost Patrol is "okay." The "lost" mechanic that can adversely affect your squad when too many are on the same tile is neat, I guess, but seems a bit contrary to what SHOULD happen. To me the chances of something 'going wrong' would seem to increase when there are less folks are on a tile, but that's just me.
Concerning DreadBall specifically; yes, I still find it derivitive, but at least less so than Mantic's previous efforts. Mechanics-wise it seems to differ more than DKH or Pandora differ from their derived system. But it's still a Miniatures Sports game that is going to be compared to everything else out there (Blood Bowl, Elf Ball, etc) and seen, in some respects, as derivitive.
And here's the deal, and I don't mean any untoward disrespect, as you've published and worked in the industry, whilst I've only been a consumer, but it's not like Mr. Thornton has any crowning achievement to warrant extra leeway like say, Alessio Cavatore or Rick Priestly or Andy Chambers have with recent games. Based on my experiences with the underproduced Mantic offerings, particularly when doing a like-kind comparison to say, Space Hulk or even a game like Claustrophobia (that has a great deal more innovation than DKH or Pandora), they simply pale in any objective comparison.
And while I appreciate your presumption, SirAngry, that I must have a slow mind, I do not. I'll make sure I check your blog to see what your latest freebie hotness is so I can take the time to better articulate my posts regarding them, in the hopes that it will assuage your fears that I am too far below your clearly very high standards.
Derivative in what way with reference to Dreadball? Mechanics or imagery? You some I think you're confusing the two things. Imagery for DKH, PP and DB are out of Jakes hands as they're Mantic products and Mantic will put their aesthetic to them.
Also what is DKH and PP derived systems? I'd be genuinely interested in what you think they copy… mechanically speaking of course, because again Jake didn't sculpt the mini's or decide the aesthetic there.
So Jake hasn't got any crowning achievement, does that mean you get to act like a prick and try rubbishing somebodies work before it h as even appeared? Honestly think about that for a second, because yes it is lazy and totally unfair.
As for being too far below my very high standards… that's your own insecurities talking. As for freebies, I don't get half as many as you think I do. The vast majority of product I review I buy. Nice attempt at a dig though, although it does smack a bit of jealousy, which goes well with your petty spite.
Not about any insecurities or jealousy. I actually wholeheartedly appreciate your site and what you do; however, I've found from reading that you "seem" to be more generous in your reviews for products you were given than ones that were purchased. That's it. If anything, I'm envious of the time you have to do all the writing; I dont have as much time to do that as I'd like.
I'll break down the other points:
1. DreadBall — Derivitave more in terms of imagry, and you're right, that's not up to him, but it does colour my judgement that he's saddled his horse so many times to a company that (while is admittedly making progress) exists only because of another company and has yet to really branch out to differentiate themselves in terms of the IP (though, again, Dreadball is a great step towards that).
DKH and PP are clearly inteded to be "Space Hulk" type games, are they not? Maybe I'm over-generalizing, but is there that much difference between them? Sure, the dual action chits in PP are different, and (I believe) there is a light and dark system that does something (honestly, I can't remember what), but is there that much difference otherwise? Hence, derivitive. Couple that with the fact that the package seems quite underproduced compared to similar products, and you're left with what is, IMO, a bland imitation. It's for that same reason that people seem to be less than enthusiastic about Privateer's Level 7: Escape, which I think has more innovation with the fear meter than anything in DKH or PP: it's way underproduced when you compare it to the rest of the bunch. Mr. Thornton is right; most things are derivitive in some way, but it's the package that makes something stand out.
I mean, look at 40k. Infinity, Warmachine, Dust Warfare are all arguably (IMO definitely) superior systems, but none of them can hold a candle to 40k in terms of volume and popularity. Because the package is lesser. And maybe I'm being too harsh on Mr. Thornton for letting his work (does he have the choice; I dont know?) be underproduced like it was with DKH and PP, and so in that regards, maybe branching out on his own is the best way to get his great ideas into the hands of a company that can package them correctly.
The fear meter in Level 7 is a direct copy of God knows how many HP Lovecraft games I just don't even know. As for my reviews of product I've received for free, that's your opinion, however you'd be wrong if you added it up and checked the stats.
On average I'm slightly more generous to product I've actually purchased. I did this because I had someone level the exact same criticism at me. But here's a thought for you, I know many other Blogs and podcasts get stuff for free, but never once mention it to people. I do so you can make the judgements you clearly have. It's your opinion and that's fine.
As for DKH and PP being Space Hulk clones… REALLY?!?!? Honestly I don't know where you are coming from with that. Both DKH and PP have a resource mechanic in terms of the orders that wasn't like anything in Space Hulk and that in and of itself made the game a very, very different beast.
As for Jake having control over his products at Mantic, no he doesn't. He is a freelance games developer who is commissioned to produce product, like many games developers out there. They are asked to produce things by people within certain boundaries and they do their best. I happen to think Jake has always done a good job when asked to.
What Cthulu game is it copied from? I know that Arkham uses the "fear track" or whatever it's called, but I wasn't aware another game used one that had two tracks taht you had to maintain a balance of. Again, I thought this was a pretty unique mechanic.
I think it's fantastic that you get stuff to review, if at least because yours always have substance, whereas some coughtbolscough are sometimes lacking. I think you're incredibly thorough, and from my perspective, you've seemed to be more generous with the "freebies" than others. But, you're right, I've never counted.
So Mr. Thornton is beholden to Mantic, not the other way around. I guess I presumed (incorrectly) that he shopped his design to them then they built the rest around it.
I just reread your Pandora Review, and you're right. There are differences. The dice mechanic is completely unique from SH. The action mechanic is different too, in that not every model can/will act on a turn. But that's more or less the extent of it, right? I don't know that comparing it to Space Hulk is, as you say, that "lazy." And, to be honest, I think that's my biggest issue with your response…well, that and your presumption that I have a "slow mind."
Quite frankly, the more I read the thread, the more it becomes clear that my disdain is for Mantic rather than for Mr. Thornton. So, to you Mr. Thornton, I apologize. I hope you have success with other ventures that span beyond Mantic and their brand of product creation. Were DreadBall not a Mantic game, I'd probably be more predisposed to checking it out.
I don't mean any untoward disrespect, as you've published and worked in the industry, whilst I've only been a consumer, but it's not like Mr. Thornton has any crowning achievement to warrant extra leeway…
Dude, this makes you sound like a total asshat. Seriously.
Agreed TheCapn.
I think "leeway" is the telling phrase in the comment. It implies a negative outlook from the off. I.E. assuming all new content is rubbish, but being prepared to indulge it should the designer have produced good games in the past. Whereas you could argue it would be an healthier attitude to assume everything is awesome until proven otherwise.
The saddest thing about the whole issue is we as a gaming community get exactly what we deserve with regards to games. People just don't go for really 'out there' games, they just buy more space marines and become increasingly sickened by their own desire.
If Jake produced any awesome game with a D8 and D12 based mechanic set inside the spleen of Zeus with robotic battling cats no-one would play it.
Do you think so?
Do you think Sedition Wars would have performed so well on Kickstarter had Mike McVey's name not been attached to it? Or CMoN? I'm not so sure it would have, but I think that's a fair point to have a discussion about. I mean, there's a reason Adam Sandler still gets the green light on movies like Jack & Jill: he used to be funny.
With that in mind, I don't think the comment is unfair. How many people do you think you could say, "it's a Jake Thornton" game to and have them willing to try it based on that alone? How many people do you think you could get to climb aboard a new Andy Chambers game based on name alone? For me, and perhaps I'm in the minority, a past track record matters and can help to inform the quality of what may come in the future.
Well Andy Chambers has blotted his copy book a bit with Dust Warfare. So perhaps his past track record will be somewhat tarnished. It's not as good a game as people seem to think it is… and I'm actually a fan of Andy's work. As for the name Jake Thornton, you're right. He's never once been the number one name on many of the products he's been involved with at GW. However, if you ask those who are in the know back there many of them hold him in the highest regards. He is very fondly remembered for helping put WFB back on track during it's second golden era during ravening hordes. He is also very fondly remembered for his work on GW's Specialist Games.
As for Sedition Wars, I think the biggest draw for that game probably wasn't Mike McVey's name as such, because there are plenty of people out there who genuinely have absolutely no idea who the hell the bloke is. In fact a shocking amount of people don't. However, they're aware of what his company has produced, and the stunning limited edition miniatures that they provide. That gave him a big boost, but unquestionably the biggest boost was having CMoN run the campaign. They get them ticking over fantastically well and run them like a military operation. But don't underestimate the amount of work that has gone into that product and it was shown off very well during that campaign, people brought the game mainly it seems for the shiny miniatures.
Well, it would appear that I'm clearly not quite "in the know" enough. The closest to "in the know" I am is having Chris Wraight recognize my name from a book review I did of Battle of the Fang. So….not much.
And maybe that's where our perspectives differ significantly. You seem to actually know more of these folks and therefore have a more vested interest in how what you will say will affect that relationship. Or maybe I'm way off. I don't know Mr. Thornton. I know that I was left wanting with both DKH and PP. To be fair, it's been quite some time since I've played either, so maybe a revisiting will change my perspective. And as a full disclosure, I had no idea that Mr. Thornton had designed both, nor did I know he designed Lost Patrol (which again, I actually do like, but wish the dissapear mechanic was the other way around)
But I'm looking at it from a totally detached, consumer point of view. Maybe I should mince my words a bit more. I don't know. I think that difference in perspective accounts for our viewpoint differences to some extent.
I'm not sure I agree that lots of people don't know who McVey is, but I absolutely agree (as I intimated before) that CMoNs involvement had a lot to do with its success. Also, as a backer that played the game at GenCon two years ago, I do have some perspective on how much the game has evolved since the outset.
As for Chambers… I actually am quite fond of Dust Warfare. I think the rules are quite clean. I think the game plays quite fast. And I appreciate the affordablity having an outfit like FFG produce the game allows.
I think the raw mechanics underneath Dust Warfare work really, really well. But all the special rules and how the book is presented, and indeed how some of the core rules interact with the game do mean that at points it fails for me. Lots of good ideas that I don't think were properly thought out. Again, I'm not too sure whether or not that's the game designers faults. There will be time constraints not of their making that the guy who pay the money will need them to adhere too. Overall it remains a good product, although they do need that fourth faction already!!! The cost is also a lot better than 40k, which is a bonus. But that's got feck all to do with Andy Chambers.
As for pulling my punches because I know people. Maybe, or maybe it's just that on the whole I'm more of a nice person, possibly too nice. However, I didn't pull my punches on Dreadfleet, and that was given to me. I have criticised product quite heavily from people who I do know. I've had a few fall outs, but generally speaking most of the people who I know who work in the industry are actually mature enough to take criticism on the chin.
I think the easy fix for Dust Warfare is to create Tactics style game cards for your units. I too think the constant need to reference the rulebook is incredibly burdensome. I also find myself mixing rules accidentally between the two systems sometimes, which generates this really delightful, but accidental, hybrid of the two.
I think it's easy to criticize Dreadfleet because it's a GW, but that's another story :D. I don't think the game is great, but I don't think it's poor. It's a solid everything-is-here-in-the-box boat game that isn't nearly as good as Man-O-War but, IMO, it isn't trying to be. My wife enjoyed Dreadfleet, and the models for it are exquisite. Do I wish I'd have held off and picked one up at the discount prices you can get them for now? Oh, absolutely. I wish it had done better, because despite it's relatively mediocrity, it was GW doing something "new."
Honestly, I don't think being "nice" should have anything to do with how you review something. I'm incredibly nice, and I think Gav Thorpe, from the few times I've spoken with him at conventions is a really good dude, but Deliverance Lost was not a very good novel. I'd happily tell him that over a drink at a bar, and then I'd let him know how much I did enjoy Path of the Seer. IMO, once you let being "nice" enter the equation about a review, you're no longer being objective. When that happens, I think you do a bit of a disservice to your not-insignificant readership, of which I'm typically a part.
I'm glad the discussion came back around to being "civil."
Seems recently I"m almost ashamed to be a gamer because of some of the comments on TGN (not necessarily here, in this post, but close).
I think that Mr. Thornton is doing his best to create unique and fun games that people will enjoy. Before I started comparing his stuff to "other" things, I'd think about game design from his perspective. The main goal would be to break yourself away from that mold and try to create something that can't really be compared except in generalities such as this one- Tiny soldiers on a tabletop using some mechanic (dice, cards, charts) to reach an outcome on a fake battlefield. Or the quote from Mr. Thornton himself,
… both use toy soldiers on a tabletop.
I'd definitely try to break away from being compared and be as creative as possibly while having a rule set that is sleek, fun, fast, and intuitive.

I've always been a fan of Audrey Hepburn, not only for her apparent cuteness and fashion sense but also for her humanitarianism. She was an amazing woman indeed.
For February, I wanted to challenge myself to remake Audrey's wedding crown during her marriage to Mel Ferrer.
Audrey's crown consists of small white roses attached to a thin wood crown base. My crown of course is made of felt and wire :)
My process when making new flower creations is mostly trial and error. This specific project was especially challenging because most of the photos I was working from were all 1.) Black and white and 2.) Low resolution. It than becomes a challenge to really mimic the look rather than copy the actual plant.
Addison and I remaking this very sweet moment between Audrey and Mel.
Another very sweet photo of Audrey and Mel and the adorable flower corwn. Hope you all have liked seeing a little of my process :)!
Till next time!

Before heading home for Christmas, we went up with our friends to Estes Park, Colorado for a long weekend. Their family owns a home within 15 minutes of Rocky Mountain National Park (!). RMNP transforms into a winter wonderland this time of year and we were excited to go snowshoeing, especially since we got lucky with a fresh 12 inches of fluffy powder the night before our hike. We drove up Friday afternoon and that evening drank [hipster] Moscow Mules and played hours of cribbage, 31, and Durak while listening to Christmas music. Pizza and salad were consumed to complete negate the Christmas theme. Saturday morning we had breakfast tacos and then delayed our outing as much as possible because it was -10 degrees out and windy. Eventually we were forced to optimize diurnal temperature increase with not wanting to die in the dark from hypothermia, so out we ventured. Mills Lake Trip Information via Rocky Mountain Hiking Trails Round Trip: 5.3 miles Start elevation: 9,240 feet End elevation: 9,940 feet Elevation gain: 780 feet…
Steamboat Springs Weekend
This weekend Dan and I went up to Steamboat Springs with another couple for a long weekend. We skied and ate jambalaya and played Durok and read Harry Potter. A perfect weekend.
Arapaho Pass Hike – Indian Peaks Wilderness
This weekend Dan and I went snowshoeing in the Indian Peaks Wilderness and hiked to Arapaho Pass. Overall a great, easy hike for snowshoeing.
Odessa Lake – Rocky Mountain National Park
This past weekend Dan and I went with some friends up to Estes Park. We relaxed, ate delicious food, and drank Moscow Mules. The end.
Just kidding, we also went hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. Odessa Lake was the jewel of the hike.

With every news outlet and cause-oriented celebrity having discovered Darfur by now, the very word may activate your plug-ears/cover-eyes instinct. But "On Our Watch," tonight's "Frontline" on PBS, isn't just another report on that bloodstained region of Sudan. It's more like an indictment.
The program and the experts it interviews do not mince words as they explore why the horrors there went unaddressed for years after the first alarms were raised in 2003. The United Nations was hearing from its own monitors that militias backed by Sudan's government were raping and killing civilians by the thousands in the country's western region, but the best it could muster were some impotent resolutions.
"How many have died in the whole crisis is debated," the program's narrator says. "The estimates range from 200,000 to 500,000. But whatever the figure, it would add up to the greatest U.N. failure since Rwanda."
The program is blunt about making individuals and entire countries look bad: various bureaucrats at the United Nations; the Chinese, big consumers of Sudan's oil; the Russians, wary of intervention because of their own problems in Chechnya. And it is generous about making some people look good: those who did say, early and often, that intervention was needed.
Even if you hate the notion of geopolitical celebrities, you're likely to be moved by Mia Farrow's eloquent description of the change she saw over her many visits to the refugee camps in neighboring Chad. At first, she says, when she and other outsiders would arrive to do their assessments, the refugees would be jubilant because they thought action would soon follow. But after a year or two, the visitors were being greeted with indifference. The refugees, Ms. Farrow says, grew to realize that no help was coming.
One particular phrase often associated with genocide gets a thorough workout here, with several commentators noting how hollow a promise it ended up being. "'Never again would we like genocide to happen' is very different than 'Never again will we stand idly by and let genocide happen,'" notes Samantha Power, whose book "A Problem From Hell: America and the Age of Genocide" won a Pulitzer Prize.
But this program, produced by Neil Docherty, isn't merely angry. It's also smart, and by the end it has raised serious doubts about whether any bureaucracy — slow almost by definition — is the right tool to stop fast-moving killers.Continue reading the main story

Beautiful beaded human skulls by Mexican Huichol Tribal Artisans. This and more were captured by Catherine Martin of Our Exquisite Corpse.
We have a beautiful 9″ beaded Jaguar head and I can attest to the gorgeous work, and their fragility – the artist use wax [in this case] as their medium which makes climate control necessary else the beads drop off. Tenuous beauty for sure.

Thundersaloon Crash
In honour of the re-union race at Mallory Park this coming 28/29 August (get your butts down there!) here is the tiny bit of footage I have of Thundersallons/Silhouette racing. I loved these cars and races as a marshall, well behaved drivers, spectacular cars, fast and noisy, just what we want! First clip has Tony Sugden's Skoda and Mick Hill's March BMW (anyone confirm/disagree?) arguing over the same bit of Thruxton tarmac, big spin for Tony. Next its a Class-B Silhouette race at Brands and a fast starting Toyota Sarlet knuts the Brands bank. Then off to Donington and a race I was at, hence the brief pause, that's me on the wall on the right. The cars are Pete Steven's works Carlton leading from the Wilson/Birley Armour-All RX7, Whale/Hodgetts ex-BTCC Supra (now with a proper gearbox, lol), Wallace Sierra ?, Dell/Boarer Sarlet, Maries/Nash Holden, Chatfield BMW M3, Jackson/Liles Astra, Morris/Morris 309GTi, Morton & Bridger/Mortlock Sarlets, McLaird yellow 205. Awesome cars. The Cunnigham/Chalmes Manta spins at Redgate and gets a whack from John Quartermayne in the SD1, then Morris spins the 309. Stevens lost the race to the RX7 when a wheel bearing went South, hence all the smoke. Next its Brands and a rear view from the Stevens GM Carlton of Ron Cumming's Aberlan Honda Legend, I remember Tony Wolf running a white Legend as well, same car different owners and paint? We then see a very rare spin from Stevens when he has to slow to avoid the ex-Sean Walker BTCC Sierra RS500. Anyone else have footage of these awesome machines, let me know, and see you at Mallory next weekend.

Pile heirlooms inside a free-form crust for a savory galette:
Heirloom Tomato Galette
- 1 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour, chilled in freezer for 15 minutes.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 stick butter, cold
- 1/4 cup ice cold water
- 1 cup Ricotta
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 3 to 4 heirloom tomatoes, sliced
- 1-Tablespoon Parmesan
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Make the Crust:
In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, salt and oregano until incorporated. Add the butter and pulse again until the butter resembles small pea-shaped balls and is evenly incorporated. The ingredients can also be cut together with two knives if a food processor is not available.
Slowly stream in the ice water until the flour comes together. Turn the mixture out onto your work surface and form into a 2-inch thick, round disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (or overnight) before rolling out.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350F.
Make the Filling:
Mix ricotta, garlic and oregano together in a large bowl and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Spread the tomatoes on layers of paper towels to drain some of their moisture.
Put Them Together:
Flour a large surface area and roll out the dough to a 10-inch circle. Spread the Ricotta filling over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Layer the tomatoes on top. Gather the edges of the pastry dough, pleating as you go with your fingertips. These don't need to be perfect – it's a rustic, free-form pie. Sprinkle the tomatoes with Parmesan and a light drizzle of olive oil. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool slightly, sprinkle with sea salt, drizzle with more olive oil, and serve.
