Thanks a lot! You have no idea how motivating it is to hear such things ^^
Can you write it in english please? :)
You're welcome :) !
No problem, and thanks a lot! Hope you will enjoy the game :)
Thanks a lot and happy that you like it! Remember too we got lots of more stuff coming, and fairly soon you should see we've stepped up quite a bit ;)
Thanks a lot! And we of course got more coming in the future ;)
We might do another one in the somewhere in the future if it's allowed by IndieDB ^^

If you're looking for people to play with join our discord here:
You are welcome :D
I don't decide who wins, it's automatic :/
Best of luck! ^^
You're welcome ;)
Thanks a lot and happy to hear! Comments like that are truly motivating ^^
I like this a lot!
Why do i have the feeling you made this regarding my post?
Hello fellow Unity developers! My game King of the World is currenlty on Steam Greenlight and would love to recieve some feedback from you guys if there's anything i can improve! :)
Thanks a lot! The game itself is like 95% done now :) just waiting for some artwork, + i want a new menu.
And i Can say the same about your game ;)
Thanks a lot! Warcraft 3 has actually held up the test of time, however after 13 years it's natural its started to show it's age :)
And before you know it! I won't make any promises but right now i'm waiting for artwork for the Store page etc. Then after i will do a trailer to start the greenlight campaign with :)
This looks really cool! Will it have multiplayer ?
Saw this game in the Unity connect website and look so much forward to playing it one day :) Never give up on it ^^
Is this game dead? Would be sad if that's the case :/
It's not the first priority, but Unity supports Mac as well as Linux so in the future if there's a demand for it. Then yes :)
Obviously not 100's of men since that would be too much if everyone had that. But more like 2-10 men and obviously only when you've achieved quite something, not just a random peasent ^^
This game looks epic! how did i not see this before now! Just one question can you get NPC guards/soldiers?
What engine are you doing this in? Always had a dream to make a RTS but it's so difficult to do and not widely supported :/
Focus on the gameplay aspects first then the graphics after :)
Hey i want to say good job on the setting! Your models seem to be of very high quality. And i like your level design! The only thing i can think of is maybe a new skybox? It looks like too generic and basic and doesn't do your high quality assets justice.
Besides good luck with the further development, looking forward to see how this will progress :)

Blog > Site of the Month: Mrs L Cards
Posted By Create
As Christmas approaches not only is it time for you to gear your online shop up for festivities but you also have to fit in buying gifts for your friends and family!
November's Site of the Month Mrs L Cards can certainly help you out in this regard, with its colourful range of cards and prints for all occassions. We spoke to the titular Mrs L, designer Carol Lewcock, about how her business came to be, what challenges she faced and, of course, CHRISTMAS!!!
In the first few seconds of viewing Carol's website and online shop you can tell it's been a labour of love but also that careful consideration has been taken into what to leave out as well as what to show.
Naturally, it's a very image-driven website, built to show off Carol's creations with very large images of her products. The sparse, white design really helps make these images jump out at the visitor.
In pride of place on the home page is the widely-known #SBS winners badge from Theo Paphitis' 'Small Business Sunday' awards on Twitter. It's a great idea to make prize badges really clear and visible on your site. If you have a lot, consider lining them up along the bottom of the page.
A strong factor in what makes Carol's site so easy to use is the clear-as-day Card Categories side column menu, from which any visitor can get right to where they want straight away. The Blog, Press page and About page, too, are highlights of the website as they give a great insight into the personality and vision behind the brand.
After achieving her childhood dream of becoming a graphic designer, Carol started working on Mrs L Cards as a hobby in her spare time in 2010, developing a small range of cards for family and friends. After joining Not On The High Street in 2011 she soon realised that she would need to to create her very own website in order for it to reach its full potential.
"Whilst still working full time I continued in my spare time to design, produce and fulfil any orders that came in," says Carol. "I built my own website using Create and set up a Facebook page and Twitter profile to help promote the company."
"Once I tweeted a photo of a card I'd made my husband for our wedding anniversary. The card drew immediate attention which resulted in a flurry of orders! I could see this design had a great deal of potential so I designed a birthday card and print using the same principles. To date this design has been my best seller and has also resulted in several one-off commissions of a similar vein."
However, in early 2012 Carol was made redundant from her full time job. "I knew I wanted to pursue Mrs L Cards full time but was also aware that I need more financial stability before I could do so. I took on a new job working 4 days a week which gave me one whole full day to work on Mrs L Cards. This extra time proved invaluable."
Some would buckle at losing their job and focus all energy on getting a new position, but Carol ploughed on with the successful work she was doing with Mrs L Cards. By the time she was made redundant again in late 2012 (what a year!), she was in a position to look on this as a veiled blessing.
"I took this redundancy as a sign to go for it with Mrs L Cards," she says. "I had used the time between February and October to save some money so this time I knew I had something to fall back on financially. My goal was to succeed with Mrs L Cards as my main source of income.
Carol is just approaching the end of her first year of being her own full-time boss and she couldn't be happier with the way things have turned out. "I've just employed my first freelance designer to help out with some of the personalised orders when things get extra busy and I've also taken on a little help with admin and accounts a few hours a week."
For a business that somewhat relies on seasonal gift-giving and celebrations, Carol tells us that what you would imagine to be quiet periods, such as Summer, are actually just as busy!
"One of my best sellers is my personalised anniversary card and print, so during the summer holidays, when there are no key occasions, a lot of people are celebrating their wedding anniversary - so what could potentially be a quiet time is in fact the opposite."
Like any good online shop owner Carol has Christmas all wrapped up way before the season officially begins. "This will be Mrs L Cards' third Christmas so I can learn from the past two years as to what to expect," she tells us. "Anything that isn't personalised I am prepping right now. Cards are prepacked, envelopes are stamped, tags are made and all stock needed is already ordered. I have also completely tidied my little office so that everything I expect to need is easily accessible!"
But that's not all! Carol has a tip for those who find themselves particularly time-poor on the busy run-up to Christmas: "My husband and I are starting to cook food in bulk and freezing it for when cooking from scratch is just not an option. It's important to continue to eat well when you are busy as there is no time to be ill when you work mostly on your own."
Once Christmas is over, you'd think it would be time to put your feet up. Wrong! It turns out that for a greetings card designer and seller like Carol, Christmas isn't always the busiest season:
"After Christmas I do a small January Sale, but about a week or two into January things start shifting towards Valentine's Day so I make this the most prominent thing on my website. In the past, Valentine's Day has been bigger than Christmas so it is a great thing to concentrate on in the new year."
You don't find yourself inundated with work, even in the 'quiet' periods, without representing your brand well on your website and fully promoting it online. This is something Carol clearly does, and her fabulous and funny 'About Us' page (as seen in the above screenshot) goes a long way to showing new visitors that she's a talented, independent person brimming with personality.
"I want my customers to feel like they are receiving great customer service when they place their orders. One of the key ways I can offer this is by showing people who I am as a person on my 'About Us' page and also in the way that I communicate with them via email," she says.
"I want my customers to know the passion and hard work that goes into their products and that they are produced by a person and not a production line. I also personally know how I feel about things like automated phone calls and responses and don't ever want to remove the 'human touch' from the service I offer. My aim is always to offer a friendly, approachable and professional service."
That certainly comes through in your website, Carol, and we're sure your customers appreciate your service! Thanks for talking to us and being our Create Site of the Month!

I have exactly ten thousand things to update y'all on. I have a post about breastfeeding that is desperate to be written. And one about grief and marriage. We started night-weaning last night, which I have thoughts and QUESTIONS and lots to say about. I have Bram updates to offer (the boy learns new things every minute; he is a wonder), Iris insights, my first post-miscarriage period (which is hell and which I'm in the middle of now), job conversations… Oh, and I finished my doctorate. Bloggers, do you ever have so much to write about that you find yourself sort of paralyzed and thus write nothing. I'm there. But instead of continuing to write nothing, I'm going to write a jumbled mess of WAY TOO MUCH. You're welcome. By which I mean I'm sorry.
- Maybe I'll start with the week before my defense, which we got to spend with an out-of-town guest, a beloved professor/friend from Charleston. She came to our sweet town to run a marathon (!!!), and then to attend a conference, so it just worked out that she was here for my defense. She stayed without complaint on our couch for five days being alternately woken by a toddler and harassed by a kitten. She was a trooper. But what's even more delightful is that she got us OUT OF OUR HEADS for a while. Things had gotten sort of dark around here: I've been struggling more with depression than usual (the loss of a baby, death of a father, loss of a(nother) pregnancy, and death of a beloved cat kind of depression, which isn't slight) and J has been walking through the default anger that sorrow tends to bring up in her. I won't say we're out of the woods (really: we have work to do), but M coming brought us some much.needed perspective. She is a joyful person, and that's what we needed: less navel-gazing and more lighthearted happiness. When she left, we sort of fell back into the tension a bit, but only for a moment. I think we both realize that as easy as it is to act out of grief and anger, it's not worth the toll it takes. I'm not 100% sure what the next few months will look like, but I know we're both devoted to staying grateful and present and kind again, and that, as my dad would have said, is a good good thing.
- And then there was my defense itself. It was intense, but so so lovely. My committee really seemed to like what I'm doing. They basically planned out my next four books, which is daunting (and laughably unreasonable, frankly, given my devotion to a work/life balance), but so exhilarating. One of my committee members said she "fell in love" with my take on vulnerability and wanted to re-read my dissertation immediately after finishing it. I can't even tell you what hearing something like that does for my sense of… I don't know… having labored with a purpose? Another said it was the most original he'd seen in a long time, and he called it "courageous." They had all kinds of ideas about how to use the theoretical lens I constructed (to read history. to understand culture.). I hesitate to include this (and won't go on) because it sounds like I'm bragging, but having felt like a failure for years in terms of my reproductive abilities, and having labored so painfully twice now with babies who will never be with us, it feels amazing to have actually accomplished this feat. So please forgive the self-congratulatory tenor of this part of the update. I truly needed a personal win to help dig me out of the sense of bodily defeat that has threatened to consume me of late. The feedback I got from my committee (and from J and my mom, both of whom read my dissertation and offered lots of wise insights) felt healing.
- Also healing was the party J threw right after my defense, a kind of open house at a local wine bar, which lots of my dearest friends attended. I always find such events overwhelming (I can never process them until weeks after), but I will remember the feeling of being surrounded by so much love and support for the rest of my life. The everyone-calling-me-doctor part, though? That's just weird. I expected to find it sort of exciting. I mean, it was kind of a lot of work to get here. But so far, it just embarrasses me and makes me feel extremely awkward. Who knows what that's about. A sense that it isn't real, maybe? Because of course I'm not a real doctor, right? Or, to some people, a real mother. These narratives. Sigh.
- And then there's this damn menstrual period. Oh, gods. It was this way for the first few periods after Emmett too. Every cramp is a PTSD trigger. Every bit of bleeding. Flashbacks. Panic. The constant reminder that we're not. I'm not. That a lifetime of clockwork-like ovulation will almost certainly come to nothing but loss. Last Friday was supposed to be the first day of our second trimester. I had started to consider which dress to wear (for my defense) out of a box of gorgeous maternity clothes that friends lovingly sent. Now that box sits in our basement waiting for one of us to have the courage to mail its contents back, unused. It is a struggle. But Yogi's Mama has been helping a friend through loss, and she wrote this about that mom: "she lost her child. Her son. Her second born. She didn't lose a pregnancy and she didn't have a 2nd trimester loss. While those things are technically true, they skate around the emotional heart of the matter. Although the mechanisms may be different, this birth will shape her life and the life of her family in ways that are no less significant or far-reaching then the live birth of her daughter." It is no small comfort to have people in our lives who understand the loss we've faced, and who grief our babies alongside us.
- But then there's Bram! This kid, I tell you. His words aren't completely consistent, and they're not super clear either, but man oh man are they awesome to hear. Cat, dog, mo (for pomo), mama, cow, horse, truck, eeeooooww (meow), oooo (moo), who who (the sound an owl makes), Nemem (for Nemesis), Ice (for Iris), mun (for monkey), no!, hi!, done! (said at the same time he signs "all done" at the table). He's also gotten super attached to his (my) woven wraps. It used to be that when I wasn't wearing him in one he kind of ignored them. Now he gets them out of their little basket and wears them like capes or snuggles them on the floor. It is SWEET. He's never really had much in the way of a (successful) lovey, so I'm pretty sure these are the first objects he's attached to in this way. Which, if you couldn't guess this, makes my heart MELT. Also, my mom got him a squirrel feeder for his birthday which we FINALLY put up a couple of weeks ago and he is IN. LOVE. with the squirrels that come to eat corn off of it just outside our dining room window. She also taught him to use the sign "eat" for squirrels. So now whenever he sees one (here or out on the town) he puts his fingertips to his mouth. You know, because they're always eating. Lovely little being, our boy. He also, though, threw his first temper tantrum in the grocery the other day. Oh, Id-driven little creature. J was alone with him, and I know she handled it wonderfully: she didn't make it about her, she managed not to care what other people thought, she was present with him, and comforting. But it's a whole new world. I mean, the trauma when something breaks: a Lego tower, a banana (he WILL ONLY eat the banana while it's still attached to the peel)… Still, mostly he just loves life and we just love living it alongside him.
Okay, I'm pretty sure this nap is about to end, so I'll close here. But I still owe you updates on breastfeeding, grief and marriage, night weaning, Iris and Nemesis, Mother's Day, job stuff, and a tiny little baby named Maya (AKA my craziness). Oh, and I clearly owe you photographs! Soon, soon, soon. I promise. I hope spring has brought lightness to all of you! I've kept up with blog-reading, just not blog-commenting. Forgive my failures and know I am with you, if silently.
Okay, little baby gave me time to post a handful of photos!
Iris. J. Bram. As you can see, we're all struggling to bond.
Celebrating M's marathon!
We get to look at this face. Everyday. Everyday.
Bram is a peaceful little lover of wide-open spaces. Which makes him different from his (city loving) mama and pomo and exactly like his Aunts C and A (whose land this is).
B wears Bernard (his stuffed rabbit) a lot. This photo is blurry, but I don't even care. Oh and yes: that's his pomo's undershirt. We welcome warm weather/no air conditioning in style, I tell you. ;)
Pre-defense me. Not a maternity dress, but a sweet one anyway, and a graduation gift from my mom. Those gorgeous roses are a graduation gift from J's mom. I have a thing for roses. And dresses. And graduating. And look closely: this mama even painted her nails! (Which chipped off immediately. Because I'm a SAHM. Which is incompatible with fingernail polish. Still. For that moment.) :)
Me and my wonderful friend Z wearing our left-leaning, sleeping babes on a pretty spring day.
Oh and see! He snuggles his wraps now!

On Tuesday there was a historic win for music education. The Department for Education announced increased funding by dedicating £75 million worth of support for music education hubs in 2015/16 and dropped its damaging proposal that suggested local authorities cease funding music services.
The Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM) represents professional musicians – the performers and composers who drive our music industry – as well as teachers.
With funding down from the high of £82.5m, to just £58m, and local councils under increasing pressure to stop their funding, the case was made for a campaign to save our music.
We set up Protect Music Education because, in the words of Julian Lloyd-Webber, we think "music should be a birthright for all children" and the benefits of music are well proven – evidence not far from the words of Plato (Book III of the Republic) and others.
In a solid partnership with 134 organisations from all corners of the music education and music industry sectors we led the fight to secure a commitment to music education for everyone.
It has notably united industry big names from Yamaha, PRS for Music and the Music Industries Association to the Association of British Orchestras, Music Publishers Association and ABRSM.
The profession came out in force to back the campaign: Alison Balsom, Nicola Benedetti MBE, Julian Lloyd Webber, Tasmin Little OBE and Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead, alongside more than 5000 individual signatories.
>> Can music make your child cleverer?
This is now the second highest this funding has ever been – thanks to the Government's commitment to music education.
Quoting Julian further, it seems hard to know when we are going to be "in a position where we can take it for granted that children will have access to music."
That's what we're after now, that commitment – to continue to support one of our most successful exports and our internationally praised music education until 2020.
All our recent polling demonstrates strong support for music education right across the UK: 97 per cent of people believe that children should be taught music in school, according to YouGov, while 87 per cent backed the continuation of music education hub funding at the level it will be in 2015.
Music is academic; it is a challenging, creative, technical, vocational, practical and intellectual subject. The implications of not having sufficient music education is far greater than some realise, and we should all celebrate that this has been recognised.
We are grateful that in these times of economic austerity, our voices have been heard.
Deborah Annetts is Chief Executive of the ISM

But heterosexuality isn't illegal, immoral, and it still is socially relevant to marriage.I find it difficult to see the logic of defending monogamous marriage as the historic norm when the laws of many states have already departed from the principle that it is heterosexual, monogamous marriage that is essential to social stability.
Put simply, if heterosexuality is no longer legally, morally or socially relevant to marriage, why should monogamy continue to be so important?
P.S. I am posting about marriage equality which is NOT off topic like magic trees, ribs etc. that Big D harps on and on about. So hold the whining.
It seems to me the biggest fear anti-SSM people have is that SSM is going to some how destory heterosexual marriage. Like any fear those who want to stop SSM use that fear to further thier own agenda, and get the frighten masses to have even more fear. Shame on those people

Sydney, Aug 27 (IANS) Australian business investment fell by 4 percent in the June quarter, worse than the 2.5 percent market expectations, official figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Thursday show.
The figures cover new investment in capital goods, which includes such things as buildings and equipment, reported Xinhua.
Steep falls in mining related activity was to blame. Construction is down 10.9 percent while a 14.9 percent slide in mining equipment purchase didn't help.
During the 2015-16 financial year, businesses collectively expect to invest 114.8 billion Australian dollars ($81.8 billion), which is 23.4 percent lower than the corresponding estimate made at the same time last year, the ABS said.
The final estimate for business investment in 2014-15 is 150.58 billion Australian dollars ($107.32 billion), which is 4.7 percent lower than investment in 2013-14.

Authorities in Shenzhen, China have revealed plans to fine people who make a mess in the city's public toilets.
From next month, users could be charged for urinating outside the bowl, in a bid to keep local facilities clean.
A city government official told AFP: "Such uncouth use of a public toilet will be fined 100 yuan ($16/ £10) by authorities."
Drafts of the regulations apparently don't specify the level of spillage that will be deemed a violation.
The proposed initiative has caused a stir on Chinese social networking sites, with users questioning how the rule will be enforced.
One poster suggested: "A number of new civil servant positions will be created. There will be a supervisor behind every urinating person to see whether the pee is straight."
Another joked: "Very good measures. I expect they can create 20 jobs on average for every public toilet."

Pecking away at the plate, and shining with its gloves in the field, the Oneida softball earned its second straight Section III Class A championship.
The Indians put together 10 hits during Monday night's 6-1 victory over Jamesville-DeWitt at the Gillette Road complex in Cicero, but didn't take the lead for good until the late stages.
J-D, just the no. 6 seed, had won five straight sectional titles from 2002 to '06 and was attempting to reclaim its throne. It had upset no. 3 seed New Hartford and no. 2 seed Homer 4-3 to reach this point.
And it threatened to go ahead early against Oneida, too, thanks to Mary Young's leadoff triple in the bottom of the first inning.
When Tessa Devereaux bunted, though, Morgan Murawski faked a throw to first, drawing Young off third – and Murawski whipped around, threw to third, and forced a rundown. As if that wasn't enough, Shannon Dowling threw out Devereaux trying to steal second moments later.
Having thwarted two possible J-D runs, Oneida inched ahead 1-0 in the third inning, Jamie Delgenio scoring after a single, stolen base and a misplay on Jenn Rougeux's infield hit.
J-D tied it, 1-1, in the fourth inning as Keeler escaped a bases-loaded jam, then watched Christina Oaster double and run home on Ashley Thompson singled.
But the Indians went back in front for good in the top of the fifth. Rougeux again slapped a single, then came home on Jenna Didio's triple. Erika Williams' perfect bunt single allowed Didio to score, making it 3-1.
Two more runs would follow in the top of the seventh, the margin doubling as Rougeux and Didio both scored again.
All through the late innings, the Red Rams tried to answer, but Oneida pitcher Beth Rocco shut it down, giving up eight hits but striking out five.
Without any time to rest, the Indians traveled east for Tuesday's Class A regional against long-time Section II power South Glens Falls – and lost 5-0 to the Bulldogs at the Adirondack Sports Complex.
Oneida managed just three hits off South Glens Falls pitcher Maddy Wheeler, constantly hitting grounders but not getting any breaks against the Bulldogs' error-free defense.
South Glens Falls took the lead wih two runs in the third inning (both coming home on Liz Baldwin's double), then added a run in the fourth and two more runs in the sixth to get away.
Four seniors – Rougeux, Morgan Murawski, Clare Henry and Brittany Inman – now depart, but a large returning cast in 2011 could mean a third straight sectional title.

Adilabad, Oct 14 (UNI) The curfew, clamped in the communally sensitive Bhainsa town was lifted for two hours today, for the first time since the communal clashes, erupted during an immersion procession on October 10, even as the people were in the grip of fear as normalcy was not yet fully restored.
District Superintendent of Police (DSP) Anil Kumar told UNI here that the curfew was relaxed from 1100 hrs to 1300 hrs and people came out of their houses to purchase essential commodities. No fresh clashes were reported during the period, he said, adding that the situation was under control though some tension prevailed in the town.
He said the curfew would be lifted for two hours tomorrow also.
Though tension prevailed in the town, the situation in Nirmal and Asifabad towns was under control, he said, adding that the curfew, which was in force in Bhainsa, would be lifted in a phased manner depending on the situation.
Andhra Pradesh Home Minister K Jana Reddy said the situation in Bhainsa and surrounding areas was under control. Additional forces were deployed in the area along with the Rapid Action Force(RAF), and mobile patrolling was being conducted in the surrounding villages of Bhainsa town to maintain law and order.
Meanwhile, a delegation of the CPI(M), led by its floor leader Nomula Narasimhaiah, today met the Home Minister and submitted a memorandum, urging him to take strict action against the culprits involved in communal clashes and in the Vottoli incident, where six members of a family were burnt alive.

Not bad.
Definitly gunna go back and listen to this when I'm tripping balls. It's like trance meets hardstyle. Nikoli can dig.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Nicely done
Try getting a little more growl out of your emulator and you'll have me comin back thats for damn sure. Really simple at parts, at the same time heavy where it needed to be. Followed structure very well. The heavy parts seemed a little soft compaired to the build up, but it caught me off gaurd and I liked it. I can dig.

In love with this track
No lie, I may steal this from you some day for a video or flash I make later on. (obviously not literally, you get me) I really enjoyed this a lot. It's really hard for me to find something on here that catches my intrest that quickly considering most songs on here that go for the build up effect to set structure for a song are done wrong. Also, I'm not usually a fan of the robot voice deal, but it fits well here. the slight undertone of synth is very haunting and givves an almost blissfull feel. The simplistic piano melody adds to the build up structurre as well as an extra attention grabber over the synth. All in all, I am very impressed. The only thing that was slightly upsetting to me was the end, because I didn't want it to end! Ha! The ending did happen a little abruptly, which I am personally not a fan of, but that's just my personal feeling and I will not mark down for that because I can appericiate it for its artistic form as a whole. (personally, I use outros and fade outss a lot, probably too much to be honest) All in all, I rarely give things perfect scores, but this diserved it in my opinion.
Thank you very much for your review
and and im very happy that you were willing to take the time to annalyze my track like that and tell me how it made you feel ;)
I also really appreciate your feedback.
Thanks mate!

Strong start
Couldn't agree more with groove, it's a very well done piece, just need to practice mastering a little bit. Considering it's an early submission, and I'm no master of mixing myself, I won't mark you down for that. It feels like it has a defined, but subliminal direction to it that you really have to listen for, and I can appericiate that.
thanks for the review. I don't know a lot about metal, but I'll be sure to check out some of your stuff anyway.

Very well done.
Simple cords, but original lyrics, good melody matching between the vocals and the cords. Much harder to do than It looks I know. Also has a bit of a message I feel. Almost a little bit sad in the whole "stoy of life" style. Very well done all in all. My hat's off to you sir.

Thanks! :)

Where is "Apple Mortgage Cake" Inspiration Angela Logan Now?
As the real life inspiration behind the new UP original movie Apple Mortgage Cake (which debuts Easter Sunday, April 20th at 7 PM ET / 8 PT), New Jersey resident Angela Logan is getting a chance to tell the world at large an extraordinary story of hope and determination. The unbelievable journey began in 2009 when the single mother of three boys was about to lose a home that had been in her family for three generations, but she found a solution in the unlikely form of her grandmother's apple cake recipe.
With the coaxing of her family, friends and the man who's currently her fiancé, Logan swallowed her pride long enough to simply admit her needs to the surrounding community, offering to bake one of her famous cakes from scratch and sell them for $40 each in hopes she'd be able to dig herself out of a $4,000 bill during a fairly tight time frame. Not only did the plan work well beyond her 100 cake goal (though we'll leave the heartwarming movie to fill in the blanks), but it's since been the catalyst to turn this empowering lady's life completely around five years down the line.
'Well, the attention went on for about a year, though not at the same pace that it was in the beginning,' recalls Logan of the interest that came flooding in with her unconventional method of beating the economic blues. 'I would say the constant orders and media calls happened for about three months and then [internet gift cake company] Bake Me A Wish started baking them, selling them and shipping them. They did a great job for us, but we could only bake certain kinds of cakes, such as not being able to sell an apple rum upside down cake because they said it would be too heavy and cost too much to ship. I had some different recipes in my head I was very excited about, but when you're in somebody else's company, they're dictating what you should do and how you should do it. So after the licensing was over, we took over and started basically from scratch.'
From mortgage miracle to a full-fledged business
Though the initial venture saved her house within a matter of days, orders continued to pour in from literally all across America, which coupled with the fact that Angela's cakes are truly delectable, helped her launch a full-fledged LLC business that's now called Mortgage Apple Cakes. The company is currently setting up shop at various farmers markets on the East coast, which allows its leader to test her cakes in various regions and meet additional business connections who've helped set up focus groups and give guidance about future endeavors, though she's also quick to credit the love of her life.
'I balance it all because I have the most extraordinary man in the world helping me, who wears a thousand hats including daily operations, computer graphics and all of the behind-the-scenes paperwork and contracts,' she beams of the real-life Melvin (who's portrayed in the movie as a suave suitor, though they are indeed engaged). 'We would like for it to become kind of a cross between a Starbucks and a Cheesecake Factory where we have various healthy and fresh meals, but have the cakes as the main attraction,' Angela enthuses. 'Right now I have four main apple cakes: original with cream cheese frosting and organic confections, apple rum upside down cake, apple pound cake with Ghirardelli white chocolate and caramel apple cake. I also have a vegan apple cake, which happened as a result of Kimberly Elise [who played me in the movie] being vegan and it's a great cake that's now selling. We want to make a gluten-free apple cake, we want to make gluten-free macaroons and all things with apples. I'd like to have a display of an apple machine cutting, coring and peeling apples so little kids can watch and have it be a place for people to relax, maybe study or even see a show because we're performers at heart and we would love to have live shows.'
As shown in Apple Mortgage Cake, Angela and Melvin are certainly no strangers to the stage, especially when it comes to stand-up comedy. The pair originally met back in the 1980s when they were both performing at a competition, and though they drifted apart to focus on their individual families, their paths once again crossed at a comedy show over a decade later (and they've been together ever since). All the while, Angela's also been active as an actress, including appearances in the movie Boomerang, the TV show Law and Order: SVU and even a cameo as a charity supervisor in this very movie!
'When I saw [Kimberly] reliving my life, I burst into tears because seeing it from this objective point of view was very different from being in it,' she recalls of the poignant on set experience. 'I can hardly listen to more than a few words that she says without bursting into tears because it was such a traumatic time for me. At the time, I handled it with sort of a calm, quiet, determination because I had to stay focused on the task of baking, but the emotion comes by just watching what this woman is doing, and for the first time, I could see what I was doing through her! Of course I had tossed and turned and cried before I sold the cakes because things were so bad, but it was seeing how she was so determined to get it done – as an objective outsider – that was so moving.'
More professional and personal pieces fall into place
In addition to the new movie, her ongoing involvement in acting and the burgeoning pie business, Logan continues to live up to her superwoman status by simultaneously working a full-time job as a teacher as at a progressive charter school in Newark. 'I work at a very exciting place that's growing and expanding, plus everybody is dedicated to the job and it's incredible what they're doing there,' she asserts, specifically mentioning their embrace of the Tools of the Mind program, which was recently trumpeted by President Obama. 'I teach health-related fitness, from aerobic concepts to muscular fitness and flexibility, along with how to do it, why we do it and what effects it has on your body… I love it, but the reason I started working there was because starting a business is not easy. When you start a business and you've been in foreclosure, there's no way anybody's going to give you a loan, so you have to work. Being in a start-up situation over at the bakery, I saw other people who were doing the same thing. They worked to help build their business, and then when your business reaches a certain point, you cross over and do it.'
Besides having a thriving professional life split between so many of her passions, the pieces have also fallen into place for Angela personally, who didn't just finish almost all of the repairs on her home (as foreshadowed in the film), but is also happy to report her children are actively pursuing dreams of their own. Her oldest son Marcus is a software design engineer in Seattle, her middle son William is a 3D animator who works on films and commercials in New York City (and also freelances as a musician), while her youngest son Nicolas is a junior in culinary arts at Johnson & Wales University.
Angela's advice to all
Considering all of the above is nothing short of a miracle, Angela remains remarkably generous with her time, regularly offering assistance to neighbors right down the road, along with complete strangers spread all across the country. 'A lot of people call me and I stay on the phone for hours talking with them about how I did what I did,' she confirms. 'One woman was losing her home right here in Teaneck, so I said 'I'm coming over with a cake, I'll call the news media and tell them you're going to follow my method.' The media came, she announced she was going to have a garage sale, people brought things for her to sell and also bought things that were for sale, and within a weekend, she sold $9,000 worth of things to get out of foreclosure! Another woman called me from down in the South and said she wanted to do it with eyeglasses. We talked and she got her eyeglasses together, got sponsors and worked on saving her house, so it has happened over and over again. People call me from across the nation and I always take time to talk to them. Sometimes I can help them, sometimes I cannot, but when I can, I do.'
So what specific advice can Angela give to those going through tough times of any nature based on the extensive lessons she's learned along the way? 'Well, I tell you one of the things I say over and over again is that you have to be ready for your blessings and then you have to be responsible for your blessings,' she sums up. 'I let down my guard, I released myself of whatever shame could've come in my life, and I asked for a blessing. When it came, I had to be ready for it and my family helped me be ready for it, but then when we got all of those blessings, we had to be responsible with them. I could've stopped right there and just paid my mortgage, but I felt it was my responsibility after having all those people buy cakes on my behalf to start a business, to try to be independent and build that business to the point where everybody will know Mortgage Apple Cakes all over the nation because of what so many people did for me.'

Novelist Chris Dolley presents the funny, painful, and bizarrely true account of his first eight disastrous months living in France. Chris and his wife (as well as a herd of animals) move from their native England to a foreign land where they barely speak the language - which is troubling in itself - when Chris is informed that his identity has been stolen. Police across four countries prove useless, so he takes it upon himself to solve the crime. Darren Stephens has a composure that slowly unravels when conveying Chris' continual exasperation, which only increases French Fried's dry humor.
Animals behaving badly, other people's misfortunes and the most bizarre true crime story ever.
French Fried is the unfortunately true account of Chris Dolley's first eight months in France and has been described as 'A Year in Provence with Miss Marple and Gerald Durrell.'
Just when Chris and Shelagh think nothing more could possibly go wrong, they discover that Chris's identity has been stolen and their life savings - all the money from their house sale in England that was going to finance their new life in France - had disappeared. A bank account had been opened in Chris's name in Spain to take the proceeds. Then they're abandoned by the police forces of four countries who all insist the crime belongs in someone else's jurisdiction.
The French say it's an Irish crime as that's where the money was held. The Irish say it's French as that's where all the correspondence came from. The British say it's nothing to do with them even though forged British passports were used to open the bank account in Spain. And the Spanish are on holiday - and can't even think about investigating any bank account for at least four weeks.
So Chris has to solve the crime himself. But unlike fictional detectives he has an 80 year-old mother-in-law and an excitable puppy who insist they come along if he's going anywhere interesting - like a stakeout.

"Moderately entertaining, poorly read"
I didn't find the story very interesting or compelling and the narrator reads it at lightning speed, about 3 times as fast as necessary. The true measure of a book is whether I'd buy it again and I would definitely not buy this. The reading is so frenetic it makes me very jumpy and it is not at all a relaxing and enjoyable experience listening to this. Very disappointing.
"Entertaining yarn, terrible narration"
Yes, but just the book, not the audiobook
The hunt for the fraudsters
This is an english book, set in France but read by an American. Pretty much every place name was miss-pronounced and the accents were terrible. The humour is very english and wouldn't really be understood by a non-native. Why on earth they got a yank to read it is anyone's guess but it was a big mistake.
nope, but I'd hire it.

MINNEAPOLIS — The A's outfield isn't at full strength heading into Monday's series opener in Target Field against the Twins.
Center fielder Coco Crisp had a shot of cortisone in his left wrist after Sunday's game against the Mariners, with the A's figuring he could get Monday off and knowing that the team has a rare off day on Tuesday. When he had similar issues last year, cortisone did the trick.
He could be back Wednesday with his left wrist inflammation under control, but manager Bob Melvin said he'll wait and see on that, and it could be Thursday before Crisp is back in the lineup. Sam Fuld was in the lineup in center and leading off in Crisp's place on Monday.
And left fielder Yoenis Cespedes was walking gingerly, his right heel giving him trouble. But after he put on his shoes he showed less evidence of pain.
"It is OK," Cespedes said in English. He said that if he had to run hard, he could.
Melvin said "you may see him limp a little," but the manager seemed to feel the issue wasn't enough to keep Cespedes out of the lineup.
Cook came off the disabled list before Monday's game with Evan Scribner optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. Cook had a two-game injury rehab assignment Thursday and Saturday.
"I feel great, ready to go," Cook said.
Even so, Melvin said he isn't inclined to put Cook back into the setup job right away. Having Luke Gregerson and Sean Doolittle pitching well means there is no overriding imperative to move Cook into his role of last year right away.
"Of course, now that I've said that, he'll come in with the bases loaded," Melvin said. "But we'd like to get him a game or two (in less stressful situations)."
As of Monday, Reddick barely has a beard.
He said he went to get a haircut, the barber misunderstood the instructions he was given. Instead of almost no hair coming off the back of his head, a lot came off.
Then Reddick said he went ahead and had the beard trimmed to balance out the look. It's made him look a little younger.
"About 12," Reddick said.
"He hadn't done anything to deserve it," the manager said. "He was doing well. I've had to deliver the news before."
But it turned out Scribner had an option remaining, even though the prevailing wisdom was that he didn't. He went up and down between the A's and the minor leagues without using one in 2012.
Scribner saw limited use during the first week of the season, retiring all four batters he faced. During the spring, he had an ERA of 5.25 with an opponents' batting average of .286.

New deals for Exeter pair
Exeter fly-half Gareth Steenson and prop Brett Sturgess have both signed new two-year contracts.
Last Updated: 07/01/11 4:20pm
Exeter have agreed new two-year contracts with fly-half Gareth Steenson and prop Brett Sturgess.
Steenson is the second-highest points scorer in Exeter's history, while ex-Northampton and Connacht forward Sturgess has played in every league game this season.
"We want to develop and keep the same culture and beliefs that have served us well in the past, so it is important we keep guys within the squad who know all about that," said Exeter head coach Rob Baxter.
Steenson and Sturgess, key figures in last year's Championship title-winning campaign, have followed team-mates Haydn Thomas and Tom Johnson in committing their futures to the Chiefs.

Making Judgments.
You wouldn't bloody believe it. We were out at Bubs Baby Shop looking for a booster seat so that James can join us at the dining table for meals since he's started protesting at his IKEA high chair. It was mid morning and he should've been at his best, but hey, he's a toddler now and they're prone to going off the boil without warning. Not that there wasn't warning, he was happily playing at the sample Thomas the Tank table. Moving the trains around, imagining himself to be the new fat controller in town, while Mrs AHD was getting the sales pitch on the numerous options available. We (James & I) were then summonsed to hear the re-interpretation of the pitch in relation to the 3 or so models that passed muster based on fiduciary considerations and functionality, and James was needed to take a position in each of the chair add-ons in a mock meal-time scenario. Well, buggered if he was going to be a party to that activity when there was a train full of coal on the Island of Sodor that needed shunting somewhere else. So, that's the background to the flip out that ensued. Not quite nuclear. Wouldn't rate a 9 either. But it was the biggest that we had seen him throw. We tried to cajole him. We knew it would only take a minute to work out which chair would best seat his backside but he wasn't in an amiable state of mind. There were tears. There was yelling. There was writhing in my arms. There was lots of 'No, Daddy, No.' And there were lots of looks in our direction. Judging looks. Looks as if to say, 'Can't you control that child of yours.' Mrs AHD and I did what all good self-effacing parents would do. We beat a hasty retreat for the door and the safety of the car park knowing that we could come again another day, in a month or so's time when they've forgotten our faces and someone else's child has gone berko in between time. In the car on the way home, Mrs AHD and I were recounting the events. Having a bit of a laugh about it. And we both, almost simultaneously mentioned the looks we had been getting. 'You noticed them too?' I asked. 'How could I not?' she replied. 'How rude!' I exclaimed. And that's the point of this post. Where, if not in Bubs Baby Shop, is it more acceptable for a toddler to go mental and chuck a tantrum? I mean, every parent in that shop should have been empathizing with us, not judging us. And thus we decided, those who had cast a harsh gaze in our direction must have been first-timers who were still only up to purchasing teething rings and jolly jumpers, or worse still, they were the couples with their first on the way and they were shopping for the perfect nursery furniture for their utopian vision of what family life will be like, well, I hope they enjoyed a glimpse of the future... Ouch, now I'm coming across as the one making judgments.

10 Jun Understanding Drug Withdrawal
Withdrawal is the state that a person enters when they stop using a substance to which they have formed a dependence. They may experience withdrawal because the substance is no longer available to them or because they are purposefully trying to overcome their dependency. Withdrawal symptoms can range from a mild headache or feelings of irritation to life threatening convulsions and seizures. The symptoms of withdrawal depend on the drug that a person has been addicted to and the length of their addiction.
Why Does Withdrawal Occur?
When a person uses a particular drug over an extended period time, their body begins to make compensations for the damage that the drug is doing. One example is that if a person is using an opioid such as cocaine, their brain is overstimulated to produce more dopamine, the chemical responsible for activating the brain's reward system. Over time, the brain becomes accustomed to the cocaine stimulating dopamine release and no longer releases dopamine on its own.
When the dopamine supplies in the brain are depleted, the person using the drug experiences a hard crash that makes them fell sick and tired. When the addict then tries to quit using cocaine, the brain sends out alarm signals that there is a shortage of dopamine and that the person needs to take the cocaine order to provide this essential chemical. These alarm signals are felt in the form of withdrawal symptoms.
Stages and Symptoms of Withdrawal
Withdrawal symptoms generally occur in two stages: acute and post acute. Acute withdrawal is the period immediately after a person stops using the drug and usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the length of the addiction, the specific drug, and the person's tolerance level. Acute withdrawal is the stage where most of the physical symptoms of withdrawal occur. These can include nausea, vomiting, muscle spasms and cramps, sweating, racing heart, and others. Some of the more severe, life-threatening symptoms could include seizures, hallucinations, stroke, and heart attack. One of the most severe acute withdrawal symptoms, delirium tremens or DTs, is associated with alcoholism.
The post-acute stage of withdrawal begins when physical symptoms abate, leaving an addict to deal with the emotional symptoms of breaking their dependence. These symptoms include fatigue, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, disrupted sleep patterns, and low energy. These symptoms can crop up periodically for a few days at a time for an average of two years after a person stops the drug abuse behavior. These symptoms may seem more manageable than the physical ones, but the long term nature of post-acute withdrawal can really wear a person down and make recovery very difficult.
Managing Withdrawal
The symptoms of withdrawal are what make breaking an addiction so difficult. These symptoms can best be managed when the person sticks to a prescribed treatment plan and receives the proper support. The sometimes violent symptoms of acute withdrawal are best weathered in a professional medical center under a physicians care. There are medications available to help ease these symptoms and to protect the addict from as much harm as possible. Continued therapy helps those in recovery to stay focused and motivated during the long climb through post-acute withdrawal.

Since my early childhood, I've been notorious for doing seemingly crazy things. From running barefoot over gravel roads to swinging "those heavy bat things" for the pure joy of exhaustion to ranting on end about the cardiovascular benefits of consuming omega 3 fatty acids… I'm the guy in the group who makes people wonder "Is he alright? No really, is he?"
I'll be the first to admit that I think we need some more crazies in the world and I'm giving YOU an opportunity to join the ranks. Right now.
Here's the skinny…
There's a free workout program here. I've reviewed it, practiced it, and found it to be fantastic program for people who are looking for full body conditioning without needing any equipment.
It's a bodyweight-only workout from the upcoming TACFIT Commando program and it's setup with 3 levels of difficulty – recruit, grunt, and commando (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). Anyone who is healthy and cleared for exercise can participate in this challenge. This workout only takes 20 minutes, and the goal is to score 20 points in 20 minutes. That means you need to complete one circuit per minute. 1 completed circuit in under 1 minute equals one point. It sounds easy enough, right? (That's exactly what they want you to think) You can get the full details in the special report that explains the entire challenge here.
So, I want you to read through the manual, learn the exercises, and complete the session sometime this week – ideally in the next 24 hours. Then, post your results in the comments section of this post.
This can be done in place of any strength training or cardio session. But don't be fooled, it's not gonna be easy. You may even hate me after you start, and very likely will begin whispering sweet nothings under your breath to curse me from whence I came. But alas, I am no stranger to discomfort or exhaustion, and I'll be participating in the challenge within the next 24 hours along with you.
