Against The Wind
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playlng low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And i remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish i didn't know now what i didn't know then
Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
Against the wind
And the years rolled slowly past
And i found myself alone
Surrounded bv stranners i thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And i guess i lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much i owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind
Well those drifters days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Well i'm older now and still
Against the wind

C'est La Vie
Words:chuck berry
Music:chuck berry
It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished 'em well
You could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They finished off an apartment with a two-room roebuck sale
The coolerator was jammed with tv dinners and ginger ale
And when pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
C'est la vie say the old folks it goes to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono, boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all blues, rock, rhythm, and jazz
But when the sun went down, the volume went down as well
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney, it was a cherry red '53
And drove it down to new orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there where pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They had a teenage wedding and the old folks wished 'em well
You could see that pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madam have rung the chapel bell

Fire Inside
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
There's a hard moon risin' on the streets tonight
There's a reckless feeling in your heart as you head out tonight
Through the concrete canyons to the midtown light
Where the latest neon promises are burning bright
Past the open windows on the darker streets
Where unseen angry voices flash and children cry
Past the phony posers with their worn out lines
The tired new money dressed to the nines
The low life dealers with their bad designs
And the dilettantes with their open minds
You're out on the town, safe in the crowd
Ready to go for the ride
Searching the eyes, looking for clues
There's no way you can hide
The fire inside
Well you've been to the clubs and the discotheques
Where they deal one another from the bottom of a deck of promises
Where the cautious loners and emotional wrecks
Do an acting stretch as a way to hide the obvious
And the lights go down and they dance real close
And for one brief instant they pretend they're safe and warm
Then the beat gets louder and the mood is gone
The darkness scatters as the lights flash on
They hold one another just a little too long
And they move apart and then move on
On to the street, on to the next
Safe in the knowledge that they tried
Faking the smile, hiding the pain
Never satisfied
The fire inside
Fire inside
Now the hour is late and he thinks you're asleep
You listen to him dress and you listen to him leave
Like you knew he would
You hear his car pull away in the street
Then you move to the door and you lock it when
He's gone for good
Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon
Riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky
And it comes to you how it all slips away

Youth and beauty are gone one day
No matter what you dream or feel or say
It ends in dust and disarray
Like wind on the plains, sand through the glass
Waves rolling in with the tide
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode
But we cannot be denied
The fire inside
Hollywood Nights
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
She stood there bright as the sun on that california coast
He was a midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes,
So innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home he was too far from home
She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach
They watched the waves tumble over the sand
They drove for miles and miles
Up those twisting turning roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed
And those hollywood nights
In those hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
All those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of the skills
He'd headed west 'cause he felt that a change
Would do him good
See some old friends, good for the soul
She had been born with a face that would her
Get her way
He saw that face and he lost all control
He had lost all control
Night after night, day after day, it went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night staring down at the lights of la
Wondering if he could ever go home
And those hollywood nights
In those hollywood hills
It was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills
In those hollywood nights
In those hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills

In Your Time
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
In your time
The innocence will fall away
In your time
The mission bells will toll
All along
The corridors and river beds
There'll be sign
In your time
Towering waves
Will crash across your southern capes
Massive storms
Will reach your eastern shores
Fields of green
Will tumble through your summer days
By design
In your time
Feel the wind
And set yourself the bolder course
Keep your heart
As open as a shrine
You'll sail the perfect line
And after all
The dead ends and the lessons learned
After all
The stars have turned to stone
There'll be peace
Across the great unbroken void
All benign
In your time
You'll be fine
In your time

Like A Rock
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But i was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And i held firmly
To what i felt was right
Like a rock
Like a rock, i was strong as i could be
Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock, i was something to see
Like a rock
And i stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, i stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
Sit and i wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
When i'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And i recall

Like a rock. standin' arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin' from the gate
Like a rock, carryin' the weight
Like a rock
Lihe a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, i see myself again
Like a rock
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
I remember standing on the corner at midnight
Trying to get my courage up
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
I loved to watch her do her stuff
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat
Down on mainstreet
In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
I used to watch 'em through the glass
Well i'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on mainstreet
And sometimes even now, when i'm feeling lonely and beat
I drift back in time and i find my feet
Down on mainstreet
Down on mainstreet

Night Moves
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
I was a little too tall
Could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime
In the sweet summertime
We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves
And it was summertime
And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder
I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off i sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

Old Time Rock & Roll
old time rock & roll
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music aln 't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the
In ten minutes i'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock'n' roll
Still like that old time rock'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say i'm old-fashioned, say i'm over the hill
Today' music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll

Roll Me Away
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
Took a look down a westbound road,
Right away i made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on
Twelve hours out of mackinaw city
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And i told her what i'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin'
Roll, roll me away,
Won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, i feel double-crossed
And i'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word,
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight
We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin' out at the great divide
I could go east, i could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then i saw a young hawk flyin'
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'
Roll, roll me away,
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',

Keep searchin' till i find what's right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And i said next time
Next time
We'll get it right
Still The Same
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
You always won, everytime you placed a bet
You're still damn good, no one's gotten to you yet
Everytime they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You'd just turn your back and walk
You always said, the cards would never do you wrong
The trick you said was never piay the game too long
A gambler's share, the only risk that you would take
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldn't fake
And you're still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by
You're still the same
You still aim high
There you stood, everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say
'cause you're still the same
You're still the same
Moving game to game
Some thlngs never change
You're still the same

Turn The Page
on a long and lonesome highway, east of omaha.
You can listen to the engine moaning out it's one lone song
You can think about woman, or the girl you knew the night before,
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do.
When your riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through.
Say, here i am, on the road again. there i am, up on the stage.
Here i go, playing star again.
There i go, turn the page.
Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road,
You can feel the eyes upon you as your shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode.
Most times you can't hear em talk, other times you can.
Oh the same old cliche, as that woman on her a man
You always see my number, you don't dare make a stand.
Here i am, on the road again. there i am, up on the stage.
Here i go, playing star again.
There i go, turn the page.
Out there in the spotlight your a million miles away,
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away,
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play.
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed,
With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head,
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said.
Now here i am, on the road again. there i am, up on the stage.
Here i go, playing star again.
There i go, turn the page.
Here i am, on the road again. there i am, up on the stage.
Ah here i go, playing star again.
There i go, there i go.

We've Got Tonight
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
I know it's late, i know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don' t we stay?
Deep in my soul, i've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know i'll keep searching, after today
So there it is girl, i've got it all now
And here we are babe, what do you say?
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't we stay?
I know it's late, i know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last, let's find a way
Turn off the light, come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't we stay?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't we stay?

You'll Accompany Me
Words:bob seger
Music:bob seger
A gypsy wind is blowing warm tonight
The sky is starlit and the time is right
And still you're tellin' me you have to go
Before you leave there's something you should know
Yeah something you should know babe
I've seen you smiling in the summer sun
I've seen your long hair flying when you run
I've rnade my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
You're high above me now, you're wild and free ah but
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Some people say that love's a losin' game
You start with fire but you lose the flame
The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold and lonely on your own
I'll take my chances babe i'ii risk it all
I'll win your love or i'ii take the fall
I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
It's written down some where, it's got to be
You're high above me flyin' wild and free
Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be
Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Item of the Day
I am expecting a Tiger Balm intervention any day now. I have constant aches and pains because of my computer-loving, yoga-practicing lifestyle, and one of the only things that gives me any sort of relief is this kind of magical Chinese ointment. Since I'm always covered in it, my co-workers and friends are constantly surrounded by its scent, which is basically a cross between Christmas and old people. It could be lovelier, but the pleasure it gives me is, at least in my mind, very worth it.
If you have any sort of aches and pains, I would recommend asking your doctor (LOL, who the hell has a doctor?) if you can use it, and then going straight to the drugstore to pick some up.

Taste of Fall: Panera Bread's Autumn Squash Soup
When it comes to fall, there's nothing better than the taste, smell, and sight of beautiful pumpkins and squash. Whether a part of decorations or a delicious meal, I can't get enough of them.
Which is why I've become slightly obsessed with the new Autumn Squash Soup from Panera Bread.
I could try to describe it, but I'll let the experts do the talking:
A blend of butternut squash and pumpkin, simmered in vegetable broth with honey, apple juice, cinnamon and a hint of curry, then finished with sweet cream and topped with roasted and salted pumpkin seeds.
Heavenly! The soup is vegetarian for those who don't eat meat, and an entire bowl is only 330 calories - pretty reasonable for such a creamy, delicious soup! Paired with Panera's signature baguette slice, it makes for a wonderful lunch.
Unlike some of their soups, which rotate depending on the day, the Autumn Squash soup is available daily this season.
Although it's sad to say goodbye to summer, this warm fall welcome in soup form eases the transition quite a bit!

Emotional Blackmail: When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation, and Guilt to Manipulate Youby Susan Forward
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"If you really loved me..."
"After all I've done for you..."
"How can you be so selfish..."
Do any of the above sound familiar? They're all examples of emotional blackmail, a powerful form of manipulation in which people close to us threaten to punish us for not doing what they want. Emotional blackmailers know how much we value our relationships with them. They know our vulnerabilities and our deepest secrets. They are our mothers, our partners, our bosses and coworkers, our friends and our lovers. And no matter how much they care about us, they use this intimate knowledge to give themselves the payoff they want: our compliance.
Susan Forward knows what pushes our hot buttons. Just as John Gray illuminates the communications gap between the sexes in Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, and Harriet Lerner describes an intricate dynamic in The Dance of Anger, so Susan Forward presents the anatomy of a relationship damaged by manipulation, and gives readers an arsenal of tools to fight back. In her clear, no-nonsense style, Forward provides powerful, practical strategies for blackmail targets, including checklists, practice scenarios and concrete communications techniques that will strengthen relationships and break the blackmail cycle for good.
In this groundbreaking book, the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them" and "Toxic Parents" dissects the anatomy of a relationship damaged by manipulation and outlines specific steps which readers can take to strengthen relationships and break the blackmail cycle for good.
About the Author

President Obama correctly decided to include South Korea on his Asia trip itinerary in April. Seoul and Tokyo are again embroiled in a flare-up of tensions over sensitive historical issues that risk undermining U.S. security interests in Asia. Had Obama traveled only to Japan, as originally planned, South Korea would have interpreted it as the U.S. condoning Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's flawed revisionist interpretation of Japan's wartime actions. There is a growing consensus in Washington that the U.S. needs to take a more active role in ameliorating the tensions between Seoul and Tokyo. The U.S., however, remains wary of assuming a mediator role given the dangers of being perceived as taking sides. Yet, without U.S. shuttle diplomacy between its allies, continued tensions among the U.S., Japan, and South Korea could degrade allied responses to a range of regional security crises.

Exit counseling is a voluntary approach to helping those involved in cults make informed decisions about their group affiliation. It is used instead of the controversial process of involuntary deprogramming, which involves coercion.
Note, however, that some counselors claim exit counseling can be either voluntary or involuntary. To eliminate confusion, a number of exit counselors committed to doing only voluntary interventions have formed an organization of Thought Reform Consultants - the members of which have agreed to abide by a statement of ethical standards

From Deprogramming to Exit Counseling to Thought Reform Consultation by Carol Giambalvo
Before you get involved with an exit counselor -- either for yourself or for a loved-one -- make sure your are dealing with a recommended professional or lay counselor. We suggest checking with the International Cultic Studies Association.
Some people who market themselves as 'cult experts,' 'exit counselors,' or 'intervention specialists' are avoided by most legitimate experts in the field.

Chris Melby of CSU's food science and human nutrition department says a proposal to add a fermentation science major came about after staff identified fermentation as a hot topic.
The Coloradoan reports the university's curriculum committee has approved adding the major, but the proposal still must be approved by the unversity's Board of Governors before it is added to offerings in the fall of 2013.
Only a handful of U.S. universities have undergraduate programs in food and beverage fermentation.
Companies including New Belgium Brewing Co. and Leprino Foods have submitted letters supporting Colorado State's proposal.

I like the concept of the water bottle filter. I travel some and its a great concept when in airports or foreign places where you are not sure about the water. The only problem I have is the design of the cap. Having a separate part is not convienent, also the pull cap is aweful, I don't like to pull up the cap either with my hand or my teeth, as both are not a good idea. My opinion would be to have the top a flip top as to not touch the part going in your mouth, and no separate parts to lose in travel.

Jul 27, 1998, Vol. 3, No. 44 • By JAY NORDLINGER
ON JULY 7, AS LINDA TRIPP was testifying for a third day before Kenneth Starr's grand jury, Stephen Montanarelli, a Democratic prosecutor in Maryland, had a surprise announcement: He was going to launch a grand-jury investigation of his own, into Tripp's taping of phone calls with Monica Lewinsky. Thus did Tripp's life, already messy, become suddenly messier.
Montanarelli is the head of an office -- rare in states -- designed to probe government corruption. As Joseph diGenova, a former U.S. attorney and independent counsel, puts it, Montanarelli is "a sort of statutory special prosecutor, a local Ken Starr." He has until now been known as relatively free of political bias.
When Montanarelli made his announcement, Republicans, along with Tripp and her lawyers, cried foul. They objected to his remarkable timing and noted (correctly) that he had in the past refused to prosecute persons who were not state officials. So why the pursuit of Tripp? Republicans had no trouble answering: Montanarelli, they said, had bowed to political pressure, as evidenced by a letter signed by 49 state Democrats howling for Tripp's head.
Initially, the case had fallen to a county prosecutor, Marna McLendon, a Republican, who protested, "Whatever we do, or don't do, will be subject to charges of political partisanship and political motivation." In late January, Montanarelli himself advised McLendon to take no action on Tripp's taping until Starr completed his work. He told the press at the time, "This should defer to the federal investigation. People disagree, but [McLendon] doesn't have a case." Montanarelli went on to say, "I don't think there's any knowledge that [Tripp] knew the Maryland law [which requires 'two-party consent' to the taping of phone calls]. The prosecutor has to have that evidence going in, or [the case] will be dismissed."
After weeks of pounding by Democrats, McLendon passed the matter to Montanarelli, explaining that she wanted to "take the politics out of the case." Yet Democrats were not appeased. A member of the Maryland House Judiciary Committee griped, "[This is] a very clever Machiavellian political move to send the issue to a legal dungeon." A day after receiving the case, Montanarelli, from the dungeon, told the Washington Post that he would not initiate any prosecution while the Starr probe continued: "We'd be wanting the same witnesses and the same documents at the same time. This isn't just any federal investigation. It's one of the biggest in the nation, and it involves the president of the United States. Why should a Maryland prosecutor intervene?"
Obviously, Montanarelli changed his mind. His decision to prosecute is a flat contradiction of his repeated statements over five months -- besides which, virtually everyone familiar with Maryland law considers the case a certain loser. Says Joe diGenova, "The question is, Did [Tripp] know it was illegal to tape" (without Lewinsky's permission)? "That is a very heavy burden for a prosecutor to prove. The person usually has to admit it, and Tripp is under no legal obligation to cooperate with the prosecutor. I don't see how Montanarelli meets the burden."
Furthermore, it is widely assumed that Tripp, back in January, received from Starr the type of immunity that would shield her from legal repercussions at the state level. DiGenova says that "once you immunize an act, you create problems for other prosecutors," meaning that Tripp is in all likelihood "protected from heat-seeking missiles in Maryland." Indeed, James Moody, an early Tripp lawyer, told the New York Times, "I asked for immunity and she got it. I knew it was routine for whistle-blowers to be in fear of retaliation, and so I made the request." Yet Anthony Zaccagnini, Tripp's current lead counsel, says that Montanarelli's action prevents Tripp, and her lawyers as well, from speaking publicly about the tapes until even the barest threat of state jeopardy has passed.
For almost half a year, Linda Tripp lay low, not uttering a peep, waiting for her chance to appear before the grand jury in Washington. All the while, say some who know her, she nursed the hope that she would be vindicated once she could explain.
Her day finally arrived on June 30, when she began her testimony. But only the jurors could hear her. Outside, her name was still mud, as she was depicted in the media as a snitch, a hustler -- someone who would wreck a friendship and roil a country for the sake of a book deal. The comedians, of course, had a field day with her looks.

RPGFan Music
Dave Yeager's Awards
5) Avernum: Escape From The Pit (PC)
Perhaps with an earlier release date, this gem from Spiderweb Software would have ranked higher, but I simply haven't had enough time to let it digest yet. I also haven't had time to finish a second playthrough, which the game definitely warrants. I'm a big fan of what Spiderweb Software is doing these days, and as possibly the oldest guy on the RPGFan staff, that probably doesn't come as a surprise since it appeals to my old guy sensibilities.
4) Radiant Historia (DS)
Probably the last game I will ever purchase for the DS, but if all good things must come to an end, this is a very good end. A beautiful game with a fun combat system that showcases what the classic JRPG style can still bring to the table.
3) Dark Souls (PS3/360)
I'll admit that I struggle with this game as it throws in my face the inadequacy of my old man reflexes. But something about it keeps me coming back for the ass kickings anyway. It's impossible not to admire what From Software has accomplished here.
2) To The Moon (PC)
Something inside me wanted to make this my Game of the Year, but in the end the gameplay just wasn't enough to justify it, especially since I preach that gameplay must be the top priority. Consider the story THAT GOOD then that, despite thin mechanics, this game still makes it to #2. To The Moon is something special and I think in a few years will be regarded as a watershed moment in video game storytelling. If you care about games getting consideration as something more than a diversion, this is required playing. You have your homework. Go get it.
1) Avadon: The Black Fortress (PC)
I played more of this game from Spiderweb Software than any other game this year, and enjoyed every playthrough. It's old school and unabashedly so, but that's precisely why I love it. The game also seems to have represented something of a renaissance for Spiderweb Software, as its sales on Steam and on the iPad were apparently quite good. This is great news for guys like me who love good old fashioned turn based RPGs in something of the style of the old Bioware Infinity Engine.
Special Mention
Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC)
As much as I played Avadon this year, it seems extremely unlikely that 2012 will be anything but the year of Star Wars: The Old Republic for me. Which is terrifying considering a couple of highly anticipated titles coming out. But BioWare has something very, very special on their hands here, and I think we may at long last be seeing the beginnings of the game that can stand alongside World of Warcraft.
Game From 2009 Still Being Played Regularly
Torchlight (PC/XBLA)
If it were allowed, I'd put this game in my top 5 every year. I am constantly amazed by how perfect the gameplay seems to be in Torchlight, and I can't fathom what improvements Torchlight 2 and/or Diablo 3 will be able to make on this model. I look forward to finding out.
Game From 2010 Still Being Played Regularly
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale (PC)
It was my Game of the Year for 2010, and I'm still playing it regularly, which is something of a relief and validation for me after giving it my own personal nod over Mass Effect 2. But it is still just as fun as ever, and there are new tricks always revealing themselves (perhaps only to my old brain, but still).
Biggest Disappointment
Dragon Age II (PS3/360/PC)
I know our illustrious Editor in Chief didn't mind this game, and I know the general consensus seems to be that "hey, well at least the story was okay", but honestly I don't know what any of those people are talking about. This game is easily the worst product that Bioware has ever released, and beyond that, it just flat out sucked. I don't even know how Dragon Age III can recover from this piece of garbage short of starting from scratch. The story is full of ridiculous holes, the gameplay is absolutely abominable, the graphics are duller than mud, and the encounter design is putrid. That said, the game sold very well and still pulled lukewarm reviews, so maybe this is just a sign of the times and the series has moved past old dudes like me – which is fine. It's a great time to be a gamer with so many indie shops and big companies bringing so many types of games that EVERYBODY has something to play. But if this is the future of fantasy with BioWare, the proud company that brought us the Baldur's Gate games once upon a time, count me out. They'll still get my money with Star Wars: The Old Republic and Mass Effect 3 anyway.

text: Market Segmentation: One Method, Four Examples By Rajan Sambandam Introduction Companies segment their markets to improve their competitiveness and profitability in fundamental ways: By focusing product development, marketing, and service resources on segments with the most potential, companies literally can multiply their marketing and service efficiency. By developing products, services, and marketing messages that address those segments' specific needs, they can greatly improve their share of the most desirable business. At the same time, by focusing on the needs of the most desirable customers, companies can improve retention of those customers. Very often, companies shape their market segmentation using the results of market research and analysis. Market segmentation research is not designed to shape the market. Rather, it reveals underlying divisions in the market and characteristics of the market segments that can be used for effective and profitable marketing. At the very least, segmentation research places the steps companies take on a firm factual foundation. Often, it also uncovers characteristics of the market that are not obvious and identifies ways of dividing and approaching the market that will be particularly effective. If these ways are not evident to competitors, the marketing impact of segmentation research can be even more beneficial. At a more tactical level, market segmentation can make the choices a company faces in developing products, services, and marketing messages easier. Often, market segmentation shows that many conceivable combinations of interest in product features, combinations of service needs, or combinations of attitudes are actually very rare in the marketplace. As a result, there is no need for the company to be prepared to deal with these combinations. Effective Segmentation What makes a segmentation analysis valuable? Market segmentation research includes more "art" (although no less "science") than other types of market research. This is the case because analysis often turns up two or more different sets of segments, that is two or more different ways of dividing the market. For example, one analysis might subdivide a segment; another might not recognize that division. In these circumstances, what counts is a segmentation scheme that the firm can implement to create real marketing advantages. Which scheme is best depends not just on which provides the best description of the market, but also on the company's strengths and marketing goals: For example, a company that is relatively large in its market might view a segment constituting 10% of the market as too small to serve as the foundation for a marketing strategy, no matter how desirable that segment is. A smaller firm in the same market, however, might see pursuit of the same segment as an exceptionally fruitful strategy. Thus, the best segmentation analysis is the one that is most useful. Deciding what Data Inputs to Use: Prior to carrying out a segmentation study, a firm should carefully consider what data inputs to use to ensure that the different segments identified can be targeted for actual marketing. If segments cannot be targeted, the most descriptive segmentation scheme may not be very useful. SOM: In our segmentation projects, we have used a neural network based method that allows a computer to "learn" the structure of the market. The specific type of network used is called a "Self-Organizing Map" or SOM. SOMs have important advantages over other more traditional segmentation techniques: SOMs show how many segments naturally exist in the market and how they are related to one another, rather than requiring the analyst to make assumptions about how many segments there are. In our experience, the segments SOMs identify often are more distinct than those identified by cluster analysis, the most common type of segmentation analysis. We have seen this difference in studies where we used both techniques to analyze the same data. The following brief case studies illustrate some uses our clients have made of market segmentation research using SOMs. Of course, findings are disguised where necessary to protect the proprietary interests of our clients.

Kevin Durant is on a quest for world domination.
What else are we to think after the news that he plans to partner with music mogul Jay-Z and his newly formed Roc Nation Sports?
Kevin Durant is on a quest for world domination.
What else are we to think after the news that he plans to partner with music mogul Jay-Z and his newly formed Roc Nation Sports?
Durant recently parted ways with agent Rob Pelinka, who he'd only been with a little over a year. While it's not clear whether Durant wants to be represented by Roc Nation Sports — the Thunder superstar is under contract through 2015-16, so there's no immediate need for an agent — he absolutely wants to tap into the marketing opportunities that Jay-Z and Co. could provide him.
This from a guy who is already a pitchman for Nike, Gatorade, Sprint and Degree.
Durant is on so many commercials these days that had the Thunder made the NBA Finals, people might actually be getting sick of him.
What more does he want?
We're about to find out.
"There's a sense of what he could do (endorsement-wise), as long as his game stays strong, is kind of on autopilot," ESPN sports business reporter Darren Rovell said. "Companies will come to him, and they know who he is. I don't feel like he has anything to lose.
"The question is, how much does he have to gain?"
Durant is already something of an unorthodox figure in the marketing world. Even though his game is dynamic, his personality is not.
You know, the whole KD is not nice thing.
But the truth is, he really is a nice guy. Shakes hands with strangers. Makes eye contact with people. Knows the arena workers between the locker room and court.
A decade ago, that personality might not have appealed to companies, but nowadays, it works.
"There's so much fake in the world that he turns out to be refreshing," Rovell said.
But now Durant is reportedly going to join forces with Jay-Z, a man who's all about buzz and hype, splash and flash. He does everything bigger and bolder.
Honestly, though, the biggest thing to happen to Jay-Z since starting Roc Nation Sports is Durant. The agency only has a small base of clients. New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano is at the top of the heap. New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz, New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith and WNBA rookie Skylar Diggins are also on the roster.

5 Superb Super Bowl Party Cocktails
PHOTO CREDIT: A.J. Rathbun
The Super Bowl won't be as exciting as it should have been this year. (If things had just gone a little differently, this post would be all about drinks nicknamed "Russell" and "Marshawn"). Alas, there are still fun game day parties to be had. And to make them more fun, can the cheap beer and serve better drinks! The first two in this list are team specific, for the Ravens and 49ers fans among us.
Baltimore Bracer
One of my favorite morning drinks, this has a bit of sweetness, but not so much that it won't provide a game time kick as needed. It also features egg, so be sure to shake as if your team depended on it. This recipe's from Ginger Bliss and the Violet Fizz: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway full with cracked ice. Add 1-1/2 ounces brandy, 1-1/2 ounces anisette, and an egg white. Shake really well. Strain into a cocktail glass.
Frisco Cocktail
I've actually seen two versions of this cocktail. When watching football, go with the strong whiskey version (the other is a bubbly mix). I first had one of these via Seattle's own champ, Murray Stenson, who used this recipe: Add 2 ounces rye whiskey (I believe he used Old Overholt, but I think Woodinville Whiskey Co. rye works nicely), 1/2 ounce Bénédictine, and 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker halfway full with ice cubes. Shake well, and then strain into a cocktail glass.
Go Team
No matter who you're rooting for, sipping on this helps you get in the celebrating mood. I suggest having one sip each time a cheerleader is shown. Use this recipe from Good Spirits: Add 2 lime wedges, a couple sprigs of fresh mint, and 1/2 ounce simple syrup to a Collins glass. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, muddle well. Fill the glass three quarters up with ice cubes. Add 2 ounces vodka (I suggest Sound Spirits Ebb + Flow here) and 1/2 ounce Midori. Top off the glass with chilled club soda. Stir, while cheering.
Vieux Carre
Stay on neutral ground and serve this drink to honor the city where the Super Bowl is taking place: New Orleans. This classic mix traces back to around 1938, when it was created by Walter Bergeron, the head bartender at the Big Easy's famous Monteleone Hotel. To make, fill an Old Fashioned glass halfway with ice cubes. Add 1 ounce rye, 1 ounce Cognac, 1 ounce sweet vermouth, 1/2 ounce Benedictine, and 1 dash each of Peychaud and Angostura bitters. Stir slightly. Twist a lemon twist over the drink, and drop it in.
Football Punch
This recipe was featured in our awesome pre-game party post, but it's such a fantastic gridiron gulper that it deserves a second mention. Football punch uses rum and a variety of apple-y deliciousness, and this video not only shows how to make it, but how it transforms a party.

Temple didnt exactly try to draw any. They stood 30ft away from the basket and threw up a prayer
Niko Porikos grew up in an NTDP billet home. Cool story.
Temple didnt exactly try to draw any. They stood 30ft away from the basket and threw up a prayer
OK, the Big 10 teams that I feel bad about pulling for are done. Let's go Illinois and Minnesota.
6 out of 16 now.
not saying either will, but either COULD happen.
Makes me angry.
but the B1G is now a quarter of the S16. Much needed to kill some noise.
And if the officals were REALLY pro-Indiana, this could have a FT shooting festival.
(full disclosure: Hoosier by birth, Wolverine by choice)
But Crean is still an ass.
as the fourth BIG team makes the Sweet 16!
Wow Jim Nantz. They were down by 4 points with 2:58 left? What an insurmountable comeback they made!!!
Never underestimate the ability of Nantz to overdramatize the mundane.
If I didn't have IU in the final four I would definitely root against them. My god they're annoying.
Craft and Oladipo..meanwhile Sir Charles says B1G over rated
Can we please stop with all these people comparing Oladipo to Michael Jordan. He is a good player but he is not anywhere close to the caliber of player Jordan was. Go Big Ten I suppose.
He got lit up so badly today that the game had to come down to his last second shot.
With just a little help from the refs. The calls made in the last five minutes of that game were atrocious. Temple got jobbed.
Great job Wyatt and Dunphy. Total failure by everyone else on Temple, basically.
Now go Heels and Gophers.
My wife is a hoosier, so "Yay" for her and for the B1G sticking it to Barkley and other haters. But yeah, so hard to root for Crean and that team.
Until Barkley kept going on and on.
"Temple is the toughest team, both physically and mentally, we've played all year...they take a back seat to no one (in the Big 10)."
"Temple is as tough, physically and mentally, as any team we've seen all year and we play against the best in the Big Ten. They take a back seat to no one."
Crean probably is a douche, but I don't think you're quoting him correctly. I didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said in the slightest.
"We played bad today so I'm going to say Temple is the best team we played all year. Stop asking me questions about if we're ready for the tournament. TEMPLE IS JUST THAT GOOD"
Great individual game but he needed more help. IU was just the deeper team and earned the win.
Still want another shot at IU in Atlanta.
Listen... That noise you hear is the collective sighs of relief by everyone who had Indiana in the NCAA final. Mine as well.
Barkley picks Kansas. You're welcome UNC.
Haha... Don't be back talking Chuck. That's just TURRIBLE.
Well, you have to root for the Big Ten...helps the conference." But come game time it's all "Fuck Wisconsin/MSU/Ohio State/Indiana."
I did root hard against IU today, but have managed to want OSU, MSU, and Wiscy to win . . . It was hard to come to terms with that. Yikes.
I'm going to get flamed to hell for this, but the refs gift-wrapped that game for Indiana.
I happen to agree with Barkley. OSU and Indiana are both lucky as hell to be in the Sweet Sixteen.
Was anyone else surprised that Tom Crean used only 1 timeout? You'd think with as poorly as IU was playing, he'd try to change something up.
You won't get flamed for that, they both got incredibly lucky and apparently the Assembly Hall refs took a road trip to Dayton today.
to me so far. You'd think with a size advantage, Kansas would look to establish the post right off. Instaed, what I've seen so far is shot altering defense - but no big man offense. As far as UNC goes, living down here in ACC land, this slightly out of control and not real good team is what we've seen all year.
Bring either one Go Blue!
Every time Withey touched the ball they doubled him.
He was also gassed after 3 minutes with both teams going up and down and missing shots.
Now KU's gone with a smaller lineup.
And still shutting that down doesn't bode well for Kansas. Never fear though, UNC will stupid KU right back in.
UNC is the most inconsistent team in the nation, they'll be down by 10-15 at some point this game. It'll just be a matter of if they'll fight back or not.
They were up by 20 on Villanova and let them all the way back to take a lead.
This is how Kansas lost to TCU. They just couldnt make any shots.
We matchup with both teams, just in different ways.
I think UNC will allow us to run, and we're 100x better if we can run. I feel like McGary would have a field day because he'd get all the boards in the world since he's so active. Withey's just big, but when you're shooting long 3's, you're going to get long boards...McGary can get to those.
McGary also doesn't need the ball in the post for us to be effective.
Against Kansas, I think we have the size to match them. I think we can run better than them and we can stretch the floor and really expose them defensively.
This may be a big "if," but if we play like we did vs. VCU...we beat both teams by double digits.
I think the VCU game is going to be sui generis. There's not going to be another team that's going to invite us into the open court in the way they did. Even in that game, our decision making was great but most players (other than Hardaway) didn't shoot the ball that well.
I kind of disagree. GRIII shot 7/8 from 2s and McGary was 10/11. Hardaway was not the only good shooter.
A lot of those were point blank shots, even uncontested shots, right at the rim, though. I could more accurately say that we didn't have a good day shooting from outside.
My God, going from Nantz and Kellogg to Marv and Kerr is like night and day. It's about the game for them, not creating artificial drama and storylines for the tournament.
If their jerseys didn't read Kansas and North Carolina...I'd change the channel.
I know that sounds hypocritical coming from a B1G fan. But this isn't tough defense, this is TERRIBLE shot selection and poor execution.
No doubt. I've seen at least three Carolina players start to shoot, hesitate, and then shoot, a play that almost no one ever pulls off successfully. They look really unsure of what shots they're trying to get.
Withey's very good defensively, though.
...2-3 guys come down the floor just jack a 3-pointer without ONE pass.
If we get this pace (and this shooting) I like our chances next week.
It's 17-16 with 6 minutes in the half.
They may get it, but neither is on pace to hit 30.
That's why I'd kill for it. We crush fast teams that can't shoot.
But with the real Jordan Morgan, between the two of them, I can see us taking either of these two. When we've struggled is when we had trouble defending the post. If we can get both those guys going at the same time, we could really roll.
Do you think we would go Burke-THJ-Glenn-Morgan/Horford-McGary?
And if NC wins then OH THANK GOD, WE'VE GOT THIS.
UNC is doing fine vs. them with a smaller lineup.
You don't put GRIII at SF for the first time all season.
That said, we can certainly play McGary/Morgan or McGary/Horford like we've done some this season.
Neither of these teams are that scary to me from what I'm seeing right now. As we have shown though, one team can look completely different from one day to the next. I do think we're faster than both of them.
because Bill Self is a great coach. They could prove problematic for Michigan as their size and defense is superior to ours.
Let's go Tar Heels (today)!

Rob Samouce: Remaining 2008 legislation affecting condominium associations
It was a busy legislative session in Tallahassee this year when it came to new laws affecting both homeowners' associations (HOAs) and condominium associations.
In June and July we looked at the new condominium association laws that will become effective Oct. 1, 2008. In August, we looked at the new HOA laws that became effective July 1, 2008.
We will now review the remaining new laws affecting condominium associations that became effective July 1, 2008. The remaining laws affecting condominiums are contained in House Bill 1105 and House Bill 601.
House Bill 1105 provides as follows:
Notice of Intent to Apply for Receivership: A new form is to be used by an owner wishing to apply to the circuit court for appointment of a receiver if an association fails to fill vacancies on the board sufficient to constitute a quorum. The form is to be sent to all owners by certified mail or personal delivery and posted in a conspicuous place on the condominium property.
The notice basically says that the petition for a receiver will not be filed if the sufficient vacancies are filled within 30 days and lets the owners know that if a receiver is appointed the receiver shall have all the powers of the board, be entitled to receive a salary, and be reimbursed for all costs and attorney's fees from association funds.
The receiver shall serve until the association fills vacancies on the board to constitute a quorum and the court relieves the receiver of the appointment. Once the receiver is appointed by the court, the receiver shall notify all owners by mail or delivery within 10 days after appointment.
This bill contained similar receivership language for cooperative associations and HOAs.
House Bill 601 provides as follows:
Director Abstaining From Voting: Previously, a director could only abstain from voting if the director asserted a conflict of interest. If he did not abstain, he was presumed to have assented with the majority. Now, if he abstains, his vote is neither counted for or against the action.
Association Insurance Appraisal: Regardless of coverage requirements contained in the declaration of condominium, adequate hazard insurance shall be based upon the replacement cost of the property to be insured as determined by an independent insurance appraisal, which must be determined at least once every 36 months.
Association Self Insurance: More requirements have been added to condominium associations who wish to attempt self insurance or association group insurance. Such insurance must be approved by the State Office of Insurance Regulation, and therefore in most instances, must meet the requirements that private insurers must meet with the State. In practice, condominium self-insurance has never really gotten off the ground and the new requirements do not appear will do anything to assist in doing so.
Association Insurance Under Developer Control: If developer-controlled associations do not maintain adequate hazard insurance during developer control, it will be considered a breach of the fiduciary responsibility by the developer-appointed members of the board unless the members can show they made best efforts to maintain the required coverage.
Association Insurance Deductibles: Deductibles are determined by the board and shall be consistent with industry standards and prevailing practices for communities of similar size and age, and having similar construction and facilities in the locale where the condominium property is situated. The deductibles may be based upon available funds, including reserve accounts, or predetermined assessment authority at the time the insurance is obtained.
The board shall establish the amount of the deductibles at a meeting of the board open to all unit owners which meeting can be held in conjunction with a board meeting to consider a proposed budget or an amendment thereto. The notice of the meeting must state the proposed deductible and the available funds and the assessment authority relied upon the board and estimate any potential assessment amount against each unit, if any.
Association Insurance Under Unit Owner Control: Under unit owner control, an association shall use its best efforts to obtain and maintain adequate insurance to protect the association, the association property, the common elements, and the condominium property that is required to be insured by the association.
Land Unit Condominiums, D&O and Flood: For land condominiums that typically have a single-family home on each "unit," the association does not have to insure the condominium buildings if the declaration required the unit owners to obtain adequate insurance for the condominium property. As before, an association "may" obtain directors and officer insurance and flood insurance.
Association Hazard Insurance Policy Terms: All new association policies issued after January 1, 2009 shall provide primary coverage for all portions of the condominium property as originally installed or replacement of like kind and quality, in accordance with the original plans and specs and all alterations or additions made to the condominium or association property.
The association coverage shall exclude all personal property within the unit or limited common elements, and floor, wall, and ceiling coverings, electrical fixtures, appliances, water heaters, water filters, built-in cabinets and countertops, and window treatments, including curtains, drapes, blinds, hardware, and similar window treatment components or replacements of any of the foregoing.
Unit Owner Hazard Insurance Policy Terms: All new individual unit owner policies issued after January 1, 2009 must contain a provision stating that the coverage afforded by such policy is excess coverage over the amount recoverable under any other policy covering the same property. Such policies must include special assessment coverage of no less than $2,000 per occurrence. Such unit policies do not provide rights of subrogation against the condominium association by the unit owner.
Insurance of Improvements that Benefit Not All Owners: All improvements or additions to the condominium property that benefit fewer than all unit owners shall be insured by the unit owners or owners having the use thereof, or may be insured by the association at the cost and expense of the unit owners having the use thereof.
Proof of Unit Owner Insurance: The association shall require each owner to provide evidence of a currently effective policy of hazard and liability insurance upon request, but not more than once a year. If the owner fails to provide a certificate of insurance within 30 days, the association may purchase a policy on behalf of the owner and may collect the cost from the owner in the same manner provided for the collection of assessments.
Unit Owner Reconstruction: A unit owner may undertake reconstruction work on portions of the unit only with the prior written consent of the board.
Multi-condominium Associations: With the majority collective vote of the members of the multiple condominiums operated by an association, insurance can be purchased by the association and the coverage treated the same as a single condominium. An amendment must be made to the declaration of all the condominiums operated by the association if the election to aggregate the treatment of insurance is taken.
Association Covered Property must be Repaired as Common Expense: If an association insured portion of the condominium property is damaged by casualty, it shall be reconstructed, repaired, or replaced as an association common expense. All hazard insurance deductibles, uninsured losses, and other damages in excess of the hazard insurance cover in the association policies are common expenses. However, if an association wants to, with a majority vote of the total voting interests in the association, it can opt out of this common expense requirement and allocate repair and reconstruction expense in the manner provided in the declaration as originally recorded or amended. If opting out, an association must record a notice setting forth the date of the opt-out vote in the public records. An association can reverse an opt-out vote with a majority vote of the members and recording the reversal.
Governmental Required Items Default to Common Expense: Unless the manner of payment or allocation of expenses is otherwise addressed in the declaration of condominium, the expenses of any items or services required by any federal, state, or local governmental entity to be installed, maintained, or supplied to the condominium by the association, including fire safety equipment or water and sewer service where a master meter serves the condominium, shall be common expenses whether or not such items or services are specifically identified as common expenses in the governing documents.

Dakota Fanning was once again spotted on the set of Very Good Girls in New York City. This time she was the only star of the film in this scene. She was spotted wearing some type of work uniform, perhaps a waitress. If you look closer on a couple of the pictures you can see the name "Lily" on her name tag.
PICTURES: Check out more on the Dakota Fanning page
Now that Fanning is attending New York University it must be really convenient for her to be filming this movie in New York City. I guess the school is probably on summer break right now so she doesn't have to worry about it for the moment. Unless she is attending the summer session, then what I said would make sense. Maybe.

Jennifer Nettles' son, Magnus, turned a year old in December. Now that she has some experience under her belt, she's revealing her take on motherhood.
"It is like the friggin' Peace Corps, man – the toughest job you will ever love!" she said. "It is the most challenging…and it is the most rewarding. They go hand-in-hand, and it is both. I love it. There is no part of your life that isn't touched by it."
The biggest motherhood challenge for Jennifer? Keeping her energy up and getting enough sleep, both of which she's going to need as she prepares to launch her solo That Girl Tour in February. Her debut solo album, That Girl, recently debuted at No. 1 on the country album charts.
