When Supergiant Games emerged on the scene with its distinct downloadable title Bastion back in 2011, the small yet sophisticated team of developers didn't have anything to lose. In fact, nobody knew a thing about the studio, much less the game, heading into major events like PAX and E3, but The Kid's colorful adventure would soon put the indie dev on the map in a big, big way.
With that project now in the past, the expectations for the studio going beyond Bastion have been high. Would they make a sequel? Can they match that level of creativity? What about trying something entirely new? All of these questions are being answered in the form of Transistor, a sci-fi-themed action RPG that came to be when tactical thinking about its design led to tactical gameplay elements and a sci-fi setting that help separate it from both its predecessor and other titles in the genre.
Well, I recently caught up with Supergiant Games' Greg Kasavin via email to find out exactly how the same small team planned to create something different while delivering an equally as compelling experience. What I got was answers to those questions and insight into how Indie studios will help E3 survive, the process of balancing Transistor to offer multiple approaches to its gameplay, and the importance Supergiant Games places on surprising both players and themselves.
DK: Thanks for joining me, Greg! It's always great to chat with you. So, let me start by finding out how soon after completing Bastion you and the team started work on Transistor?
GK: Hey! We hatched some of the earliest ideas on Transistor right around when we were finishing Bastion, during that weird downtime before the game was released. At that point we were already thinking about some of the central ideas for another story and the type of play experience we might want to make next. Our conversation started in earnest later in 2011 when we started prototyping some of the new gameplay and narrative ideas. Bastion kept us plenty busy for a solid year and a half after its initial launch as we kept supporting the game and making new versions, so we were working part-time on Transistor for a while. That ultimately proved useful since it meant some of our earliest ideas had more time to stew, and it takes us a while before all our ideas can coalesce into something we want to show anybody. We've been fully focused on the game since last fall.
DK: How would you describe the gameplay in Transistor to people hearing about it for the first time?
GK: We say Transistor is a sci-fi-themed action RPG that seamlessly integrates a strategic planning mode into the moment-to-moment action. Unlike in a typical action RPG, in Transistor there's a stronger emphasis on positioning and cover, so the gameplay takes on a tactical feel. We wanted to create a style of play that lends itself to lots of dramatic reversals, where you can come up with exciting ways to turn the tables and get out of seemingly hopeless situations. All this is wrapped up in our particular approach to narrative in games. We want to create highly atmospheric games where you naturally become invested in the story and characters as you play.
DK: In terms of setting, gameplay, etc., how much of this project was about doing things differently than you did in Bastion?
GK: We decided from the get-go that we wanted to create a new game with its own distinct identity. With Bastion we really liked creating this weird fantasy world from scratch, especially since the game was well received. We wanted to see if we could do something like that again, in a different fiction genre this time. If Bastion was our take on fantasy fiction, we were curious to see what we could come up with in the science fiction genre for our next project. We love a lot of different aspects of science fiction and felt like we could come up with our own tone and setting in that genre.
Starting from scratch on Transistor meant taking nothing for granted about what we were making, even if we sometimes end up making decisions similar to the ones we made for Bastion. I think the result is naturally going to feel like a game from the same team, since the every member of the seven-person team that made Bastion is working together again on this project. Though if we do our jobs properly it's going to feel like its own thing, with its own surprises and idiosyncrasies.
DK: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you and the team didn't have a presence at E3 with Bastion, which made the E3 2013 demo for Transistor a new experience for you guys. From both a technical and creative perspectives, how difficult was it to create the demo you had on display and what challenges did you face in making sure it properly represented your vision for the game?
GK: We did have a chance to show Bastion at E3 in 2011 shortly before the game launched, though our presence at that show was smaller than our presence with Transistor at E3 this year. This E3 experience was still very new for us. We weren't planning on going to the show at all, as our big unveiling for Transistor was at PAX East a few months earlier. Traditionally E3 is a show for much bigger games while PAX is a place where smaller independent games can really shine, and PAX has been an important show for us ever since Bastion was unveiled. Fortunately, we had a great showing with Transistor. The guys at Sony really liked what they saw of the game there and started talking to us afterwards, and invited us to come to E3 with them. And soon enough, we decided to go for it! The build of the game we showed at E3 wasn't much different from what we showed at PAX, though we figured E3 would be a mostly different audience, and we'd made a number of little improvements and got the PS4 controller working with the game, stuff like that.
Creating that playable build for PAX certainly was a challenge for our team, as we knew we'd only have the one chance to make a good first impression with our second project. With Bastion, we were an unheard-of little studio so we had nothing to lose by putting our work out there. With Transistor, we had some expectations to live up to, including expectations from many fans who probably assumed we were working on a Bastion sequel or something like that, rather than this other thing we decided to do. Suffice it to say we didn't know exactly what to expect from the response, so it was a relief that the unveiling went over so well.
DK: Did the E3 2013 experience give you a deeper sense of appreciation for what goes into making a game demo on such a grand stage – especially with your background at bigger studios like EA and as a former industry journals?
GK: I've been involved with a number of E3 demos in the past, such as for Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 and Spec Ops: The Line, so I know full well that E3 is a strange and scary beast and there's really no telling what the show will be like before you get there. Let's say you can control the quality of the thing you're making — there's still no telling what everyone else is going to show.
At Supergiant we're configured around just making our game, and having it be playable and reasonably polished and good-feeling as much as possible throughout development. Then when the opportunity arises to show the game, we put it out there for people to play, rather than derailing production to create some playable thing — or worse, a non-playable thing — that has little to do with the game. We factor big shows like PAX into our production planning and see them as good opportunities to make sure everything is as solid as possible, and since we come to shows with playable builds, we end up getting lots of valuable playtesting feedback. I felt very strongly about this approach even before Bastion and Transistor were revealed, and considering the success of our last two game unveilings I remain convinced that this is the best way to go, at least for a team like ours.
DK: Bastion got a lot of press surrounding its launch and I'm sure the game generated a lot of fan feedback as well upon release. What did you learn from the response to that game that you've been able to apply to the development of Transistor?
GK: The positive response to Bastion really affirmed our approach to making games. Whatever we did on Bastion, whatever struggles we went through to create it, we wanted to stick together as a team and go through that process again to find out what's on the other side. The particular mix of people we have on team, the chemistry we have between members of the team, that's our most important asset.
DK: Regarding Transistor, it appeared to me in the demo that there were multiple ways of approaching the game's challenges – from being either tactical or more aggressive in your approach. Was this at the core of the design from the onset or did you simply find that providing both options was best as you play tested?
GK: Yeah, we've consciously worked to balance the real-time and strategic aspects of the game. It's very important to us that the strategic planning mode feel like something you want to use, rather than like something that's forced on you. How and when you use it is part of what makes the gameplay expressive and distinct. We knew we were onto something with it when we noticed different people on the team using it in different ways, whether to go through encounters in a methodical and efficient manner, or in clutch situations to get out of danger or overpower a particularly tough opponent, and so on.
DK: Bastion was a breakout game for you and the studio and officially put you guys on the map. Aside from delivering on the vision for the experience, what do you hope Transistor accomplishes for Supergiant Games as a studio?
GK: I don't know that I want to vocalize my innermost hopes and dreams for Transistor at this point, so as not to jinx anything…! But what I want out of the end result is really no secret. Just like with Bastion before it, I want to Transistor to be the sort of game that leaves a lasting positive impression on players who take the time to play it — I want it to be the sort of game that treats players and their time with respect. And for us on the team, I hope we continue to find the experience of making the game creatively fulfilling and challenging enough to want to then stick together and make something else.
DK: While very different under the hood, Transistor does have a lot in common with Bastion on the surface. Do you envision Supergiant Games branching out beyond this genre any time soon or are you looking to further establish your presence within it before moving on.
GK: It's hard to say where we'll go from here…! We'll figure it out when we get there I think. All our focus is on Transistor right now and we know better than to spend too much time planning for the future when almost everything about the future hinges on what we're doing right now. That said, I think we have a lot of ideas as a team and we want to keep working on games that are creatively rewarding for us. I do think any games we make will likely have certain signature characteristics. For example, music and audio is important to us, so I don't see us going from making games that place importance on their music and audio to making games where that's not an important factor. We say we want to make games that spark your imagination like the games you played as a kid. I think that means always making games with the capacity to surprise people.
DK: Obviously, you guys had a big moment on the stage at the PlayStation 4 press event. What can you tell us about that experience from both personal and professional perspectives and how important do you think it is for company's like Sony and Microsoft to cultivate the indie game development scene though public acts like that?
GK: I've been going to E3 since it started, and been watching the big three's press briefings at the show for as long as I can remember. On a personal level I never expected to experience one of those press briefings from that particular point of view. Being on stage was a cool and surreal experience, and we're grateful to Sony for believing in us to such an extent as to have us up there during such an important moment.
While I'm humbled to have played some part in it directly, I'm not surprised that independent game developers are a key piece of the puzzle for the big first parties. If nothing else, there are many fewer big studios these days than there were at the time of the Xbox 360 and PS3 unveiling. Now, smaller independent teams are routinely responsible for some of the most interesting, most talked-about games of the year. From that point of view, it's no surprise they should be present on the E3 show floor or in the big press conferences. If E3 wants to survive as a show it had better make room for smaller teams, and from what I saw this year there was plenty of room.
DK: Lastly, where is the game at in development and when will we be learning more? I assume you'll be present at PAX and the like?
GK: Transistor is in the thick of production right now. What we've shown is a pretty early build representing some of the core ideas though we've got a lot more game to make. We expect the game to be complete sometime early next year and will have a more specific date closer to that point. In the mean time we do plan on coming to PAX Prime if only to let everyone there try what we have if they didn't get a chance to see it at East or E3. We're easy to get a hold of on Twitter (@SupergiantGames) where we're happy to answer questions along the way.
DK: Thanks for your time, Greg! Best of luck on the project. I look forward to catching up again with you soon!
GK: My pleasure, thank you in turn for thinking of us for this!

By Dr. Jeff Mirus (bio - articles - email) | Jan 31, 2012
One of our users asked in a Sound Off! comment whether the Catholic Church had a clear teaching on torture and on the use of coercive means to obtain information. The Second Vatican Council (Gaudium et Spes 27) included torture in the list of evils it used to illustrate the concept of intrinsic evil, and this was repeated by Pope John Paul II in Veritatis Splendor 80.
But as with the concept of "lying", much depends on how torture is defined. Is it torture, for example, to punish someone by inflicting pain? Clearly this is not necessarily the case. Also, how much coercion and/or pain constitutes torture as opposed to mere pressure? Clearly not all forms of coercion are torture.
The answers are not always easy, and acting legitimately in this matter certainly involves prudent judgment as well as moral sensitivity. For an excellent discussion of these issues, see Fr. Brian Harrison's article, The Church and Torture, in our library.

When I served in Vietnam as a prisoner interrogator, it was cut and dried - no torture, otherwise a court martial. I am horrified that ANY Catholic can justify what has been done in the name of extracting information from an enemy. The ends do NOT justify the means. The FBI is noted for not using any physical coercion in questioning suspects, and Air Force Intelligence, of which I was a part, had the same rule regarding enemy prisoners of war.

Hi Loris,
Yes I have seen those papers at some stores' online site. My limited experience with the hahnemuehle copperplate gravure paper was exactly as you described, quite absorbent and the surface was slightly damaged /abrased in wet treatment and very good dmax. I am guessing some might have more endurance depending on the printmaking process they are used. I am curious about Stan's choice of paper too

Mickey, in fine counter-intuitive fashion, argues that the Boehner plan is better for Obama:
Isn't the Boehner Plan the President's most promising route to the "grand bargain" (including revenue increases) he says he wants? It would set up a commission to propose $1.6-1.8 trillion in deficit closing measures–which could include tax increases and entitlement reforms. Then it would force an up or down vote under threat of default if Congress votes "no." It almost seems like Obama's dream bill, if you take what he says seriously. If you were cynical you would say that this is why he has semi-threatened to veto it … By contrast, the Reid plan seems unlikely to produce a "grand bargain" of any sort because it doesn't make avoidance of default contingent on passing a big new cuts-and-revenues package.
I favor a Grand Bargain, based on Bowles Simpson. But the GOP is so opposed to it I cannot see how Boehner could get such a proposal even faintly past the House. So we go back to Square One in a few months. As Douglas Holtz-Eakin notes:
The six Republicans (and any Democrats who are not renting their brain from an amoeba) can easily stop any notion of tax increases. And there is simply zero chance that the House would pass such an increase if it did emerge over the next six months.

About Epilepsy & Epilepsy Awareness Month
Held annually in November, the mission of Epilepsy Awareness Month is to create heightened awareness about the disorder, dispel myths and the stigma often associated with those who suffer from epilepsy, and to generate funds to benefit those who are afflicted. According to the National Epilepsy Foundation, 50 million people worldwide and more than 3 million people of all ages in the U.S. have some form of the disorder. About 200,000 new cases of seizure disorders and epilepsy are diagnosed each year, of which 45,000 are under the age of 15. It generates an estimated $12.5 billion in direct and indirect costs annually.
Among the well-known contemporary personalities with epilepsy are legendary rock star Neil Young, Hip-Hop's DJ Hapa, and professional football players Alan Faneca of the New York Jets and Samari Rolle of the Baltimore Ravens. Actor Greg Grunberg, star of the NBC hit series "Heroes," is a staunch advocate of epilepsy awareness on behalf of his son, Jake, who has epilepsy. Also believed to have had the affliction: Alexander the Great, Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Dickens, Leo Tolstoy and Vincent Van Gogh.

A couple of readers have emailed me and said they tried the meatloaf recipe we ran a couple of weeks ago and they liked it. One reader said her niece suggested adding a few strips of bacon to the top of the meatloaf -- she did and loved it. She even sent me a picture.
I've run into a couple of people in the community who said they didn't know they could submit recipes. I said to one lady at Kroger, "By all means, please submit your recipes." If I've said it once in this food column, I've said it a thousand times, often the story behind the recipe is better than the recipe itself.
So, onto this week's featured recipe -- fruit dip. I intended to run this before Super Bowl Sunday, but I figured it is easy enough to stir together and serve the day of the game.
Fresh fruit by itself is glorious enough. But there are those occasions when you need a little something else, so mix some cream cheese and marshmallow creme together to get a sweet and fluffy dip to serve at your next gathering.
Try substituting the marshmallow creme for Greek yogurt. For my recipe, I used a strawberry flavored cream cheese; you can use plain instead. Add a drop or two of vanilla flavoring and you've got a creamier dip.
I've had both a yogurt-based fruit dip and a marshmallow creme-based dip and they are both delicious. The only difference is one is a little sweeter than the other.
Fruit Dip
Start to finish: 1 hour and 5 minutes
8 ounces of Philadelphia Strawberry Cream Cheese, softened
7 ounces of marshmallow creme
Mix together the cream cheese and the marshmallow creme in a small bowl.
Refrigerate for at least one hour and serve with fresh fruit.
Tip: Instead of serving the fruit on a platter, put it on bamboo skewers for easy dipping.

If It Works, Break It
The gang that can't shoot straight is at it again, this time by ending the greatest coup de théatre that the College sees each year: the moment in the Dimensions show when freshmen who have been posing as prospies leap up in song and reveal themselves to be already matriculated students. I haven't lived the moment, but two posters on Facebook give articulate descriptions of the gem that the College is losing in yet another stupid decision:
The top post is from a year ago. It is a nice example of unrehearsed praise. The bottom post, from yesterday, already has over 200 likes on Facebook.
To date, I have never heard a single complaint about this aspect of the Dimensions show. This pop-up surprise is a lovely, original touch — a rare thing in Hanover these days.
What will the administration do next? Turn the Green into a staff-only parking lot?

After a few months out of id, Hooper joins the VR team.
By Tim Colwill on August 9, 2013 at 1:37 pm
Looks like John Carmack isn't the only id Software bigwig to depart the company and join Oculus VR: RAGE creative director Matt Hooper has now signed up as well.
"We are thrilled to have Matt Hooper join the Oculus VR team as our Director of Development," reads a statement by Oculus. "Hooper will be working out of the Dallas, TX office. He's a top talent who had been out of id for a few months and ended up being a great fit for the Oculus team. We're looking for more all-stars!"
Hooper is an id veteran of ten years, who is widely believed to have taken responsibility for the poor critical reception of RAGE and resigned from id.

Victoria's Secret: My Secret Reward Card Scenario
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Wednesday, October 31st, 2012 at 2:56 pm.
As I mentioned yesterday, Victoria's Secret is once again offering up FREE Secret Reward cards to EVERYONE (not just Angel Card Holders) with any purchase of $10 or more through November 28th, in-stores AND online! Each card will be worth at least $10… BUT they could be worth $50, $100, or even $500! The secret reward cards will be valid to use 11/29 -12/20 in stores (excluding outlets), online, or by phone. Note that shipping and taxes do not count toward the $10 total needed to get your Secret Reward card.
I was so excited about this promo yesterday (as one year I actually won $50 – you can check out the video here) that I headed on over to my local Victoria's Secret today. I had a FREE undies (up to $10.50 value – no purchase required) coupon that I got in a mailer which I planned to use as well. Note that I did get to use it, but still had to spend $10 after the free undies coupon was applied in order to be eligible for the FREE Secret Reward Card. So here's what my rockin' scenario looked like…
I bought:
VS Panties (used FREE coupon that I got in mailer)
3 travel-size Anti-Bacterial Hand Gels on sale 3/$5 (will make great stocking stuffers!)
2 Heart-Shaped Tins filled with Peppermints on sale 2/$5 (more stocking stuffers!)
And a Secret Reward Card valued at least at $10 (if not more!)
Final cost for all – only $10!
Not too shabby! :D
*If you shop online, the $10 Secret Reward Card will automatically be added to your $10+ order. Also, make sure to go through ShopAtHome.com for 2% cash back!

I got the free panty coupon and a coupon for $10 off $10 purchase. Do you think I can get a Reward Card if I just purchase something with the coupon for $10? Thanks!
No Rachel you have to spend $10 after coupons to get the reward
Awesome! I got a pretty good deal on the website last week. Got a sports bra for $35, free undies and free shipping with a coupon code, and then $10 off (Birthday reward), so spent $25 and got a secret reward card for $10 or more.
how did u get free shipping?
that's great.
How does the secret reward card work? What if at checkout you only have $10 worth of merchandise and the card rings$50? do they give you a chance to grab more stuff or a store credit for the remaining $40?
You can usually check the balance of the rewards cards online by adding something to your cart and acting like you are going to check out.
VEry smart! Thanks!
ooh good plan…hopefully they have those items at my VS, so i can make goody bags for my daughter's teachers =)
Do you have to use your Secret Reward Card all in one transaction? Or like if you win the $50 can you use it at different times?
You do NOT have to use your secret reward in one go, however any leftover value expires after 12/20 (unlike a traditional giftcard) so just remember not to let it lapse!
I got $50 once before and it worked just like a gift card you could use it multiple times till the $50 was gone. IDK if it still works like that.
If anyone has a $10 off $10 (the ones you can use in stores) they don't need, I can trade a $10 Amazon gift card for it. Thanks
I just got a $10 reward coupon in the mail that I really have no plans to use. Email me if you're wanting to trade l _ sarmento @ yahoo . com
I have a Kindle so I love Amazon cards!
Use BRASHIP and PANTYVS when you buy a qualifying bra online (excludes clearance) to get free shipping and a free seamless panty. Plus, you'll get a secret rewards card. Ends 11/1/2012.
This is a bit off topic but I have a $10 giftcard for Lowe's that expires TONIGHT and I won't be going. If anybody wants it, I can email a link to it for you. If you have any giftcards or coupons to trade that would be a bonus :)
I would love to have it. storedeals @ hotmail dot com
sorry storedeals2011 @ hotmail dot com
Ok I sent it. Enjoy :)
I had one of those and used it today to get a giant pack of Charmin toilet paper (20 double rolls+40 regular rolls). I paid than $2.13 for it after the $10 off $10. If you don't need anything else at Lowes, you could always use it to stock up on TP. :)
I got a couple from the promotion a few weeks ago, but they both beeped and said coupon had already been redeemed, they only pushed one of them for me.
The same thing happened to me. They would not accept my coupon.
I'm heading there this weekend, omg wouldn't it be nice to get the $500.
How do you get those free panty coupons?
You have to sign up for there credit card
If you go to the website theres a couple places to sign up for the mailing list. You can sign up for both VS and for Pink coupons. They mail them about every 6-8 weeks
The secret reward card will it have a min to spend? For example a $10 one will you have to spend $10.01 or higher?
The last time I received a $10 secret reward card, I only spent about $8 on an item so they gave me cash for the remainder. :)
Do you find out the value of your reward card right away, or do you have to wait until you redeem it to find out the value?
You have to wait until the time frame they can be redeemed to find out the value on the secret reward card.
I won $500 on my first ever secret reward card 2 years ago. It was so awesome!!!
Someone above mentioned you can add something to shopping card online, enter your reward card and it will indicate the value, then empty your cart and the card is still valid.
Yes you can, just make sure to empty the cart. i did that the last time to find out the values of my cards (i was impatient lol). One ended up being a $50 one!! Good luck everyone!
I won $500 in 2009. It was awesome! I have gotten a $50 and a $100 once, but they are usually $10.
wow, you guys are so lucky. i've only ever gotten the $10 but then I don't buy often…
Anyone knows how to get the 2% back? i just ordered. I got 4 perfume paid just shipping and tax because Victoria secret sent me $10 off any purchase
Can you redeem the reward card instantly for your online purchase? Or do you have to use it another time?
Can you use more than one card for a single purchase?
I asked a sales associate if you can use more than one rewards card per transaction she said yes. I went shopping there 8 times and got 8 secret rewards cards and they're all worth $10 and I'm seeing you can't use them all in one transaction. Does anybody know what can I do to at least use couple of them together? Or someone interested in buying them off me? Thanks
T m, How much are they cost? All 8 cards?
Dear, Girls!
If somebody got a $10 reward cards which you dont have plans to use them. Please I would be happy to have it. My email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thahks a lot!
does anyome have extra src theyre not using? :( i would like to hv one. even just the $10 one…. pls email me at email@example.com
How do you all get the "free panty" coupons? I am signed up for texts and emails and have never gotten one? I have bought from them and have gotten two rewards cards. (I used to have an angels card and closed it, but that was years ago, before I signed up for alerts and actually bought form their store) HELP!
When you go onto Victoria's Secret's website, go to 'PINK' and click on the heart in the upper right corner. Sign up for PINK rewards, and you'll get the coupon for a pair of free fashion show panties. (The offer ends at 11:59 pm on December 10th!)
Just won $100 last night! Yeah

Golden Gate's new library is now an open book(s)
The new branch is at 2432 Lucerne Road. It is open Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For more information on the Golden Gate Branch Library, call (239) 252-4542.
After more than five years of planning, the Golden Gate Branch Library celebrated the grand opening of its new building Saturday.
The $6.8-million library features a larger book collection area, private study rooms, arts and crafts room, computer lab and outdoor patio.
The 17,000-square-foot building is next to the old 7,000-square-foot library.
"This space (the old building) was just getting really crowded," said David Chalick, Golden Gate Branch Library manager. "More and more people were moving into the area; families were growing. This is a neighborhood library and we have a lot of children and they grow up and need more space."
Young adults now have their own section of the library and younger children also have a separate area to read and do activities.
"Adults who come in for leisure reading learned not to come during children's programs because there were too many kids and it was too noisy," said Marilyn Matthes, Collier County Public Library director. "They learned to accommodate that and they weren't complaining but they just knew not to come in at those times because we had no real quiet areas for people to read."
The new library design addresses that problem with reading areas spread throughout the building and private study rooms for people wanting additional privacy and quiet.
Another much-anticipated addition is the glass-enclosed computer lab. The library now has 18 public computers, compared with six in the old building.
WiFi Internet connection also is available for patrons using their own laptops.
"A lot of people are applying for jobs and doing resumes and now they are able to take advantage of the lab and not feel pressured for time," Chalick said.
The library has seen an increase in people using its services to look for employment.
"We're finding that a lot of people are coming to us to learn job skills, apply for jobs and hunt for jobs, which is something that we haven't seen in the past as much," Matthes said.
The new building opens at a time when many people are facing economic pressures and looking for ways to cut costs.
"We're noticing a couple of things in libraries in general and Collier County specifically. As perhaps two wage earners in a family turn into one wage earner, people are cutting out things," Matthes said. "They're cutting off their Internet connection at home and cutting down cable TV options and so they're using our materials more than they have in the past."
About 1,000 people visit the library a day and with the new building and larger parking lot, the staff believes that number will grow in the future.
"The facility is beautiful and has everything this community needs," said Leone Gage, a library volunteer. "It's a great meeting place and gives the community an idea of the resources out in the world that are available for them."
With the expanded space, the library staff plans to offer more services to visitors and wants to encourage everyone to see what the branch provides.
"Come in and explore the library. There's a lot of things that you don't know we offer," Matthes said. "And, it's a great bargain. We're free."

'Shelter in place' lifted at schools after Redford Township police investigated shots fired
Several schools briefly under 'shelter in place' restriction while Redford Township police investigated reports of shots fired on Kendall Court
Published On: May 15 2013 03:10:04 PM EDT Updated On: May 15 2013 03:36:54 PM EDT
Schools within the South Redford School District were under shelter in place restrictions Wednesday afternoon while Redford Township police investigated a report of shots fired on Kendall Court just north of Interstate 96 between Beech Daly and Inkster Roads.
No one was allowed to enter or leave the schools, but the restriction has been lifted as police wrapped up their investigation.
Police said no schools were involved. The shelter in place restriction was just a precaution.
The schools that were under the restriction are Redford Thurston High School, Addams Elementary, Shear Pre-School and Pierce Middle School.

"Good morning Congresswoman Lee. And all of you. We hope you enjoy your visit at Shadydale University, home of the Rams. Do we need to close the doors on these children? No. I can't hear you. No!"
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is fighting for the second time to keep the North Forest Independent School District open.
It's a district with a history of academic and financial problems.
"So today we announce an offer to the state of Texas, something that is highly unusual. And we have reviewed across the nation, and it come back to us that this will be the first. This will be the first: a partnership with public charters and the North Forest School District."
Those schools are high-profile national operators with roots in Houston: KIPP, Yes Prep and Harmony charter schools.
There are already partnerships between charters and traditional public schools in Houston, New Orleans and other places.
Take North Forest. For the last three years the district has hosted YES Prep, and its teachers at one of its schools.
But this proposal takes the idea to a new level as former U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige says.
A teacher helps a student at Shadydale Elementary in North Forest ISD
(Laura Isensee, KUHF)
"I think this is very unique. Unique in the fact we have three of the nation's best, most recognized, most successful charter organizations partnering with a traditional school district. I'm not aware of that occurring anywhere else in the United States of America."
If the plan goes forward, Paige would join the board of the new group.
Chris Tritico is the attorney for North Forest ISD.
He says there would still be a North Forest school board, but one with less power and also a new management group.
It's not clear if one charter operator,like KIPP, would run a single campus, say Shadydale Elementary.
"We're really not far enough to talk about specifics. We have a memorandum of understanding that's signed by all the parties.[It] says to the commissioner: we want to enter into, what I'm calling, an educational services agreement. This group [would] come together as a consortium to manage the school district."
He says it's better than merging with the Houston Independent School District.
"This is a better deal, and it will bring about more rapid change for these students."
Before the deal goes forward, the Texas Education Commissioner has to approve it.
And North Forest has to win its appeal next week against the state's order to close.

Don't forget: UFC on FOX 5 will have footage shot on the 'Phantom Cam'
You know what's better than UFC on FOX 5? UFC on FOX 5 shot on a camera that can capture images up to 20,000 frames per second. Think about that. We're used to 30 fps (29.97) and yearn for 60 fps in our videogames, but we're going to witness Shogun and Gustaffson doing their thing in thousands of frames per second? Thousands? Don't forget about Mike Swick and Matt Brown. In fact, Mike 'Quick' Swick may have to update his name to Mike 'Gif' Swick is he pulls off another wild fight. Imagine how a .gif would look from Phantom Camera footage. Man, this is too good. This is me right now.
After the 'read more' I placed a cool demo reel of the Phantom Cam, so you can see what we're in for tonight.

Nuns, Religion, Sentencing Law
This strikes us as a bit unreasonable:
A federal judge has rejected the community-service plans he requested 10 months ago from three nuns convicted of hurting national defense when they protested U.S. nuclear policies at a missile silo. That means Dominican Sisters Ardeth Platte, Carol Gilbert and Jackie Hudson could face more time in jail if they refuse to pay $3,082 in restitution to the Air Force.
"We are surprised. I'm trying to make sense of it," Platte, 70, said Monday after learning of the decision by U.S. District Court Judge Robert Blackburn. "There's no way we could pay the military. It would be impossible for us to give money to the military because of what they would do with it. And the judge knows that. He knows our conscience."
It's not like these nuns have escaped without punishment for their protest. The three sisters have already served significant prison terms — of 30, 33, and 41 months — and have collectively performed "more than 148 YEARS of combined community service, including counseling inmates and raising $600,000 in charitable contributions for literacy programs, soup kitchens and aid for victims of disasters."
(And doesn't the federal restitution statute require the district court to consider the defendants' ability to pay? We're talking about Dominican nuns here. Haven't they taken a vow of poverty?)

Fun Zone opened its doors in Dothan Saturday, eight months after the Montgomery business was destroyed by a tornado.
November 15, Fun Zone in Montgomery owners Rocky and Lisa McIlwain were on their way to Atlanta when they heard the news. A search was held after the twister struck to find the 31-children and 11-staff members trapped beneath the debris.
"Our office manager called and said it was gone, nothing left, we were shocked," said Rocky.
The McIlwain first thoughts were not about the business they had worked for years to build up, but instead about the people left inside.
"We asked what about the kids and we drove back. When we crossed the Alabama line all of the kids were accounted for," said Lisa.
Eight months have passed since the tornado and already the McIlwain have made a come back. Saturday a grand opening celebration was held to mark the first day of business for Fun Zone in Dothan and the family is proud to once again be serving the community.
"It's a big deal, some family kids work here and it's nice to carry on the fun zone tradition," said Rocky.
Fun Zone replaced what used to be the playground and the newly remodeled facility has more games and activities for people of all ages.
First day of business, Fun Zone held three birthday parties Rocky and Lisa hope the high turnout means they chose they right place to open up their new business.
If you'd like more information, you can contact Rocky and Lisa at 678-7529.

Enterprise staff
Clifton Chevrolet has been entering the Go Texan Cookoff competition at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for the past 22 or 23 years, according to John Frank Clifton, who wears several hats under the title of Team Coordinator. That task covers making reservations for the spaces for the teams that cook. This year they asked for three spaces and were assigned only two. Try cramming two pits, 22 cooks, helpers, fi re tenders and kin into that small an area and you can see why they ask for additional space. The trailer they haul all the gear down to Houston in is usually used for hauling race cars and all the gear needed for that program that they sponsor. Sure cars and Chevrolet go together. John Frank (there is a John D. active and on the team also), showed me the pit one team used. It has baskets, full width, that are connected to a rotisserie device that assures that as meat cooks it is automatically basted. Of course, as with all great teams, one member is assigned to be a "swabber" whose job it is to mop on that secret sauce. I did not ask what it was made from since there had already been comments of "I'd have to shoot you if I told ya" when I asked about other cooking and recipe items. There were more than 400 teams this year in the cook-offs and 160 entered the dessert category. Clifton Cookers dessert was a Banana Foster Cake, now I don't have Mary Ann Clifton's special recipe, but I do know it contains, chopped pecans, butter, rum or (rum fl avoring), sugar and eggs, milk and probably sour cream, vanilla, fl our and of course bananas. The team brought the top prize home to Corrigan and with it the bragging rights for another year, and Mary Ann got a bouquet of roses. Along with the trophy, they also won fi rst place for the Cleanest Area. This is a very important win, teams are checked frequently during the show to be sure the public sees the best of the cook-off and a real bad area might not get invited back. They won runnerup for the "beauty" contest of the show for Most Colorful, also competing against all 400 teams. Aside from cooking and winning, teams serve their food to the general public, this year John Frank estimated they served right at 1,000 meals noon and evenings. They cooked some 250 pounds of chicken and pork ribs and nearly 500 pounds of brisket, all cooked to perfection. They had to arrive on Thursday evening and served dirty rice, fajitas and sausage wraps. On Friday at noon they served brisket, ribs, and beans. Friday night's fare was shrimp and crawfi sh etouffee and more brisket, ribs, sausage and beans. Saturday they repeated these two meals. Sunday is checking out time and the show wants everyone gone as soon as possible, so it is hectic. They had pre-delivered some equipment the Monday before but it all had to go so the animals could start moving in. They fi elded two teams and the head cooks were John D. Clifton and Pete Lopez. Others in the four-day event were: John F. Clifton, Cole Clifton, Mary Ann Clifton, Brenda Clifton, Clark Ogletree, Jaime Galloway, Sherry Lopez, Alex and Johnny Hernandez, Mike Pounders, Charles and Chuck Goodwin, Melvin Fifer, Don Dick, Jim and Theresa Schutze, Rob Pennington, Tommy McNichalas and Freida Houck. All play an important role in the success of these teams.

Scoutmaster named in abuse files served at Athens church pastored by columnist GriffithBy JOHN A. WINTERS
More than 30 years ago, a fellow pastor approached Dr. James Griffith about a troubling subject — that a member of Griffith's church in Athens might be molesting boys.
Griffith, who writes an editorial page column for The Newnan Times-Herald, took immediate steps. The member in question, Ernest Boland, resigned from his post.
Boland was a long-time Rotarian, a colonel in the Army Reserve, an Athens businessman, and a leader of three different Boy Scout troops over a 25-year period. He is now a man accused of molesting dozens of boys from the 1950s through the 1970s.
Boland's name was eventually placed in the BSA's "Confidential Files," which included others accused of molestation. The reason for him being added to the list was "substantiated reports," according to released BSA documents.
About 20 Georgians are on those lists, now commonly called the "Perversion Files." No one from Coweta County is on the list.
At the time of the accusations, Boland was a scoutmaster in Athens. He is now 88, confined to a wheelchair.
When the allegations first came to Griffith, he was pastor at Beech Haven Baptist Church in Athens. Boland was in the process of setting up a new troop, Troop 3, which would be sponsored by Beech Haven where he was a longtime member.
"As you know, all this came about because the Supreme Court ordered the Boy Scouts to release the documents," Griffith said earlier this week. "The only thing I can say is that as soon as it came to me attention, I turned it over to the church leaders.
"We had an attorney on our board and some others and I had them deal with it," he added. "It was not my place as the pastor."
Griffith said the board members approached Boland, who in turn resigned.
"He was very active in the church," the former pastor said. "He had a wonderful wife and son. I feel for the family but even more for those little boys."
Griffith is now retired, living in Palmetto Park.
"There were rumors, but we had no proof," he said. "The main thing is we got it corrected so it never impacted our church."
"It's very unfortunate, nothing good about it," Griffith said. "It's just a sad, sad thing."

Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart Expecting Second Child
The couple is expecting their second child, a source confirmed to PEOPLE.
The 'Grey's Anatomy' actor and Gayheart, who were married in 2004, welcomed their first daughter, Billie Beatrice, in March 2010.
"I don't know if there's any change more significant that a human being can make than that of a woman becoming a mother. There's no change more dramatic," Dane gushed to PEOPLE about his wife earlier this spring.
"You know, I'm a hundred times more attracted to her now and I love her exponentially more than I did before. It's just great to see her be a mother," he said.
In an interesting coincidence, 'Celeb Rehab' star Keri Ann Peniche announced on Friday that she's also expecting a baby, according to E! Online. Peniche starred in an infamous nude tape with both Dane and Gayheart, which was leaked online in 2009.

I am of Mexican descent and when you offend one you offend all, illegal or not. While I don't know you I am sure that in my lifetime I have been insulted by better people and so has every Mexican individual you offended.
I wonder how you manage to hang around with yourself for too long with the stench of hatred following so close behind.

Nicole Richie Dyes Her Hair Pink!
It's no secret that Hollywood has yet to tire of the pink hair trend. And the latest star to jump on the hair color bandwagon is one who normally loves going against the grain: Nicole Richie!
The Fashion Star mentor showed off her bright fuchsia, dip-dyed ends in a photo posted on her official website on Tuesday with "Tickled pink!" as the caption.
PHOTOS: Nicole's style evolution
She follows in the footsteps of January Jones, Ashley Tisdale and Lauren Conrad, who all tried out the trend earlier this year.

Candy-colored locks aren't the only way the 30-year-old mom of two is getting beauty focused. She's also set to launch her debut fragrance this fall.
PHOTOS: Did you know these stars have their own fragrances?
"It's an extension of my fashion brands Winter Kate and House of Harlow," she told Us Weekly last month. "I grew up a very Southern girl; my mother was from the south and in addition to telling me to never go out without clean underwear, she instilled in me to never go out without fragrance and lotion -– she was big on layering fragranced stuff."

330 Million Abortions In China Since One Child Policy
Posted By yihan On March 16, 2013 @ 7:51 am In Featured Stories,Global Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
Simon Rabinovitch
March 16, 2013
Chinese doctors have performed more than 330m abortions since the government implemented a controversial family planning policy 40 years ago, according to official data from the health ministry.
China's one-child policy has been the subject of a heated debate about its economic consequences as the population ages. Forced abortions and sterilisations have also been criticised by human rights campaigners such as Chen Guangcheng, the blind legal activist who sought refuge at the US embassy in Beijing last year.
China first introduced measures to limit the size of the population in 1971, encouraging couples to have fewer children. The one-child rule, with exceptions for ethnic minorities and some rural families, was implemented at the end of the decade.
Since 1971, doctors have performed 336m abortions and 196m sterilisations, the data reveal. They have also inserted 403m intrauterine devices, a normal birth control procedure in the west but one that local officials often force on women in China.
