Opposites Attract
Johnson Bros. "Indies" pattern sugar bowl. Ink and watercolor on Moleskine watercolor notebook.
6 September, 2012.
Aiming for a fast and loose sketch, I cast my eye about for inspiration. Of course, my desire for detail superseded my plan and guided my gaze to the china cabinet. There were the pretty blue and white Indies plates. Ah! The sugar bowl would be fun to sketch, I thought to myself. After I got the bowl settled in the middle of the kitchen table, I queued up a Supernatural episode on Netflix and started drawing while Sam and Dean raced about saving people and "ganking" demons.
Mostly, I listen to music when I sketch. I don't know what impulse led me to put on my guilty pleasure, Supernatural, while drawing, but it's not lost on me that I was depicting something very fragile and light against a heavy background of tongue-in-cheek television horror. Think I won this battle, though. I'm quite happy with the resulting delicate sketch of our pretty sugar bowl. Maybe that old saying is true: opposites attract.

During the hustle and bustle of everyday living, it's easy to lose yourself in the milliard of tasks that require your attention. Housework, yard work, family, friends, kids, work, sports, school, hobbies, commutes, networking, television, Internet, community work, religion, sleep, food, exercise, and writing all vie for the precious moments that make up your day. Meeting the demands of life can sometimes feel overwhelming. It's easy to feel like you're falling behind, almost moving in slow motion, in a world that spins at incredible speeds.
You're not alone. Most of us feel that way. Here's a few gems that I've collected over the years that help me keep pace.
- Make a list. If you don't identify what you want/need to do, you'll never effectively complete any of it.
- Prioritize. Identify the most important things that must be done.
- Schedule. Pick a time to do each task and write it down. I use a daily, weekly, and a monthly schedule.
- Budget. If you need to spend all day keeping track of Twitter updates, then you're wasting the day. Allow yourself a set amount of time for each activity.
- Take a break. Schedule time to relax. Even batteries run out of energy.
- Cut. Yes, I said it. Not everything can/must be done every day. Choose what can be done tomorrow and do it then.
- Bend. Interruptions are a part of life. Plan on them by giving yourself flexibility in your schedule.
- Know your limits. A gallon of milk will never fit in a 12-ounce glass.
- Establish a routine. Keeping up with important aspects of your schedule becomes easier once a routine is followed.
- Hold yourself accountable. What happens if you don't do something? Is there a consequence? Know what it is and avoid it.
- Ask for help. It's possible to commit yourself to more than you can handle. When you do, ask others to share your burdens. You'll be surprised where the help comes from.

Funding for doctoral study comes from a variety of sources, but one of the long-term costs of a Ph.D. is measured in education-related debt. The evidence shows that new humanities Ph.D.'s are more likely to accumulate debt than graduates in other disciplines. Humanities Ph.D.'s also accumulate slightly more debt, on average, than their counterparts in most STEM fields.

2008 has been a banner year for MMA and the UFC, but the best may be saved for last. This Saturday marks what could be the UFC's best fight card of the entire year. UFC 92: Ultimate 2008 features some of the organization's biggest names including light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans, Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira, Frank Mir, Wanderlei Silva and Quentin "Rampage" Jackson. The under card will also have a strong northwest presence with Renton's Reese Andy and Olympia's Brad Blackburn. Here's what to expect.
Forrest Griffin vs. Rashad Evans
The light heavyweight title fight features two of the organization's biggest success stories. Four years ago, Griffin was nothing more than a curmudgeon on season one of the Ultimate Fighter reality show, but his hard work and talent have taken him to the top of the division. Once viewed as just a one dimensional, boring wrestler, Evans is now a well rounded fighter who is coming off a highlight reel knockout over UFC legend Chuck Liddell. Both men have a lot to prove this Saturday. Despite wins over "Rampage" Jackson and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, many people still doubt Griffin's legitimacy as the best light heavyweight. While Evans has greatly improved (especially his striking) his conditioning has been a problem in the past and his submission skills have yet to be tested in the Octagon. Look for Griffin to try to keep the fight standing and use a variety of strikes to keep Evans off balance. Look for Evans to either catch Forrest with a big power shot (ala the Liddell fight) or take him to the ground and wear him out.
Winner: Evans via decision
Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueira vs. Frank Mir
The interim heavyweight title fight features two of the greatest submission specialists in the game today. Nogueira's ability to seemingly pull submissions out of nowhere, helped make him a legend in PRIDE. He displayed that ability yet again, when he defeated Tim Sylvia earlier this year to claim the interim heavyweight title. Like Nogueira, Mir is a ground wizard who made a meteoric rise to the top of the UFC early in his career before a motorcycle accident set him back. After several lackluster bouts, Mir appears to have made a full recovery and is looking to get back to the top. Unfortunately for Mir, the person standing in his way is a better version of himself. Both men are about the same size and both prefer to finish their opponents on the ground. However, Nogueira is a better boxer, has limitless cardio and has never been finished in more than 30 professional fights.
Winner: Nogueira via 3rd round TKO.
CB Dollaway vs. Mike Massenzio
This middleweight bout features two of the many up and comers in the division. Dollaway is best known for his stint on The Ultimate Fighter. After losing to Amir Sadollah in the Ultimate Finale, Dollaway bounced back by using a slick Peruvian neck tie submission to defeat Jesse Taylor. Massenzio is coming off a quick submission victory over Drew McFedries and comes into this fight with a little payback on his mind. He and Dollaway wrestled against each other back in college and Dollaway handed the New Jersey resident his only loss of the year. Look for Dollaway to use his superior wrestling again to hand Massenzio his first loss in the UFC.
Winner: Dollaway via 2nd round TKO.
Quentin "Rampage" Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva
This light heavyweight bout may be more exciting than the title match between Evans and Griffin. Both Jackson and Silva are former champions who have quite a heated history. The two have already fought twice, with Silva coming out on top both times. Typically, that kind of history would make a third fight very un-intriguing (for example, does anyone want to see Rich Franklin fight Anderson Silva again? Didn't think so). However, Jackson has greatly improved since their last battle and despite a split decision loss to Griffin earlier this year; he's still very much in the prime of his career. Silva on the other hand has seemingly hit a downturn in his career having lost three out of his last four fights. I can't understate how important this fight is for both men. Jackson needs a win to show his loss to Griffin was a fluke and that he's gotten past his recent personal/legal problems (he currently faces felony evading, hit-and-run and reckless driving charges). Silva needs a win to prove he's still a viable contender. Look for Silva to come out in his usual aggressive manner and try to bait Rampage into brawling with him. If Rampage truly has changed as a fighter however, he'll be patient, relaxed and counter Silva's wild style with a steady array of straight punches and uppercuts.
Winner: Rampage via 2nd round TKO.
Mostapha Al Turk vs. Cheick Kongo
This heavyweight bout features two fighters looking to establish themselves in the relatively thin heavyweight division. Having never seen Al Turk fight before, it's hard to predict this fight, but based on his credentials I figure he's going to try to take the fight to the ground. That's good for him because that's Kongo's most glaring weakness. While he has more than 20 professional MMA fights, the kickboxing standout has never shown any skills on the mat. Despite his lack of ground skills, Kongo does have a lot of Octagon experience and should be able to use that experience and his striking to beat the UFC newcomer.
Winner: Kongo via 1st round KO.
The Under Card
Dean Lister vs. Yushin Okami
No disrespect to CB Dollaway or Mike Massenzio, but this is the middleweight bout that should be part of the main card. Okami is one of the ten best middleweights in the world whose only loss in the Octagon came at the hands of former champion Rich Franklin. Lister is a former world champion grappler and a submission threat to anyone he faces. The winner of this bout will likely be determined by who gets on top first. Okami is one of the biggest and strongest fighters in the 185 pound division and his specialty is his ground and pound. While Lister is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu wizard, Okami's too good to be submitted from the top. If Lister manages to get on top first however, he should be able to pass Okami's guard, get a dominant position and make Okami submit.
Winner: Lister via 2nd round submission.
Brad Blackburn vs. Ryo Chonan
This welterweight bout features two fighters looking to crack the division's upper echelon. Chonan is a former PRIDE veteran who's been up and down since making his way to the UFC. Despite his inconsistent performances, Chonan has proved he can beat big name stars (check out his highlight reel submission win over current middleweight champion Anderson Silva if you don't believe me). After an up and down start to his MMA career, Olympia's Brad Blackburn has seemingly turned the proverbial corner. The IFL veteran made a big splash in his UFC debut this summer by defeating James Giboo. Some other notable recent fights include wins over Chris Wilson and Jay Heiron. Look for Blackburn to keep the fight standing and unleash his hands on "The Piranha."
Winner: Blackburn via 1st round TKO.
Reese Andy vs. Matt Hamill
This light heavyweight bout features two of the more decorated wrestlers in the division. After a nice run in the IFL, Renton's Andy lost his UFC debut to the highly touted Brandon Vera. Hamill too is coming off a loss to the highly touted Rich Franklin. Expect both fighters to try to use their wrestling and take the fight to the mat. While both have all American wrestling pedigrees, "The Hammer" does have a slight striking advantage over Andy and that should make the difference in this bout.
Winner: Hamill via decision.
There you have it. The Ultimate preview for the Ultimate 2008. Now everyone enjoy an Ultimate Christmas 😉

Day 3 at the cabin brought us back down into town for some shopping {girls} and golfing {boys}.
I had promised London a 'Girls Day' and her first item of business was to buy an 'Indian Jewelry' ring.
This might just be my FAVORITE jewelry OF ALL TIME for little girls. When I was a baby - - my mom ALWAYS had an indian bracelet with turquoise {or any other type of stone} on my wrist. She passed that love onto me and as a result - - London always had a little bracelet on her wrist as well.
I also found it necessary to take photos of London by this white brick wall....
This last one's my fave.
We shopped til we dropped {er...til the boys called us and told us they were done golfing} and then we all went to one of my VERY FAVORITE places to eat in Cedar City.
I told Joe that we really need to buy a franchise of this and open one up in Phoenix. {Sadly, I don't think he agreed.}
Their salad bar is THE BEST EVER! And I mean...EVER!!!!
Let me tell you why:
* Their ranch
* They have PEELED SLICED cucumbers
* They have peas
*They have hard boiled SLICED eggs
*They have twisty noodles
* And sunflower seeds
Afterwards we drove around town and showed my kiddos the homes where my parents grew up.
{Fun fact: they were practically neighbors.}
The 'Misel' home where my mom grew up and where we would sometimes spend our summers.
I love this sweet house.
The college has since bought it - -
hence the name 'Juliet's Cottage'.
We rode back up the mountain with our windows down the entire time. It was bliss and the pine trees smelled JUST perfect!
The temps even dropped down 40 degrees and we ran into a GINORMOUS hail storm.
The rest of the evening was spent making and eating homemade guacamole {not me - - I'm deathly allergic!}
...along with puzzles, making beaded bracelets and learning how to play FARKLE.
{Whoever suggested this game to me - -
THANK YOU! I LOVE it!}
My bro was in charge of dinner and whipped up the YUMMIEST Terriyaki chicken.
He poured this bottle over frozen chicken breasts and cooked it in the crockpot all day.
This sauce is the bomb.
Have you ever tried it?
He bought it at Sprouts.

Chicken Biryani
Posted by Deb Equality Della Piana in Chicken, Indian, Pakistani on November 4, 2013
I made this the other night for a potluck Indian feast at a friend's house. It was outstanding, I must say. However, biryani is not only considered an Indian dish, but also a Pakistani dish. Unlike Paella, you want to use a long-grained rice for this dish. Basmati rice is absolutely perfect for biryani.
This dish also makes use of one of the greatest spices on the planet: Cardamom. It may well be expensive, but it's lends an amazingly aromatic flavor to this dish. I used both pods and ground Cardamom for mine.
3 lbs boneless, skinless thighs, cut into bite-sized chunks
4 tbsp canola oil; plus an additional 2 tbsp canola oil
6 small potatoes, cut in half
2 large onions, chopped
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp ginger paste
2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp chili powder
1 2-inch cinnamon stick
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp cumin
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional; but not really if you like a little heat)
1.5 tsp salt
1 15-oz can diced tomatoes
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
5 Cardamom pods
1 tsp ground Cardamom
1 pinch Saffron
16 oz Basmati rice
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skilled. Add the potatoes and fry until browned. Remove to paper towels and reserve.
Add 2 more tbsp oil to the skillet and fry the 2 finely chopped onions, garlic, and the ginger paste until the onions are soft and golden. Add the chili powder, pepper, red pepper flakes, turmeric, cumin, salt and the tomatoes. Cook, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes. Add the yogurt, mint, cardamom pods and ground cinnamon. Cover the skillet and cook over low heat until the tomatoes become pulpy. Add a bit of chicken broth or water if the mixture becomes too dry and begins to stick to the pan.
Once the mixture becomes thick and smooth, add the chicken and stir well to coat evenly. Cover and cook over very low heat for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken becomes very tender. The mixture should be fairly thick once the chicken is done. If your mixture looks to runny, remove the cover and cook for several minutes to reduce the mixture.
While your chicken is cooking, wash the rice well and allow it to drain in a colander for about 30 minutes.
In another large skillet, heat the additional 2 tbsp canola oil and fry the single diced onion until it is golden. Add the saffron, ground cardamom, cinnamon stick, ground ginger, ground cloves and rice. Stir continuously until the rice is coated with the spices.
In a medium-sized pot, heat the 4 cups of chicken stock. When the stock is hot, pour it over the rice and stir it well. Add the chicken mixture from the other skillet, as well as the reserved potatoes. Stir everything together gently, and bring it to a boil. Cover the skillet tightly, turn the heat down low and cook for about 20 minutes. Do not life the lid or stir while cooking.
Spoon the biryani onto a warm serving dish, remove the cinnamon stick, and you're ready to feast!
Indonesian Chicken Wings
Posted by Deb Equality Della Piana in Asian, Chicken, Indonesian on October 24, 2013
I'd have to say that soy sauce (or Tamari) is one of those ingredients you should never be without. However, this recipe calls for Indonesian soy sauce, or Ketjap Manis, which is slightly sweeter and thicker than traditional soy sauce. It's difficult, if not impossible, to buy this at your local grocer. You would definitely have to go to an Asian market to buy it. Or you could make your own without much effort. Therefore, I've included a recipe for this delectable little condiment at the bottom of this recipe.
I love Asian food. They say that the Chinese invented noodles and the Italians perfected it. I think that's a perfectly legitimate claim. But Asian food is so much more than Chinese and Japanese. Indonesian and Vietnamese food is amazing. So are these wings.
2.5 lbs party wings (these are wings that have already been trimmed and separated)
1 cup Ketjap Manis (recipe follows)
2 tbsp Sambal Oelek
2 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar (seasoned or unseasoned is fine)
2 tbsp ginger paste
Sea salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup lime juice
Chopped scallions or chives (for garnish)
The first order of business is to make the marinade, so this is a simple recipe because it requires you to mix all the ingredients together (except the salt and pepper). Whisk to make sure everything is thoroughly combined.
Put the wings in a resealable plastic bag along with the concoction, and marinate overnight. I like to use a toothpick on the wings and poke holes in them prior to marinating. This helps to infuse the wings with the sauce.
When you are ready to cook the wings, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place the wings in a single layer in a long baking pan. Pour in the marinade. Season with salt (lightly) and fresh-ground pepper. Cook for about 30 minutes, turning at least once to cook on both sides. Prior to removing the wings, turn them again and put the oven on "broil" for about 5 minutes.
Remember to put on the hood of your stove and open a window as you might generate a little smoke.
Remove the wings to a serving tray and get ready to feast. Garnish with chopped scallions or chives. These are delicious!
How to Make Ketjap Manis
Ingredients for Ketjap Manis
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup water
1 cup dark soy sauce
7 tbsp dark (blackstrap) molasses
1 tsp ginger paste
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
Combine the dark brown sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat until all the sugar dissolves.
Then, increase the heat to high and cook until the syrup begins to thicken. This takes about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool. This can be stored for 2-3 months (covered) in your refrigerator.
Smoked Salmon Supreme Plate
Posted by Deb Equality Della Piana in Appetizers, Fish on October 12, 2013
This is one of those appetizer plates that could easily turn into a meal if you let it. It's spectacular when you're too damned lazy to cook, or when you're watching the Red Sox march to the World Series (which they are this year), or when you're watching the latest episode of The Walking Dead.
It's fairly simple to assemble. You do not need to smoke your own salmon. Smoked sockeye salmon is readily available (and sliced perfectly for this dish) at your local supermarket. Everything else you need for this, in my opinion, is stuff a well-stocked kitchen should have.
Serve it with your favorite wine. People will tell you that it should be a white wine, but what if you don't really like white wine? I hate food and drink rules, frankly. Drink whatever the hell wine you want.
For serving, you need a long platter. I still have the one that my mother used when we were kids.
1 pkg of smoked sockeye salmon
4 tbsp capers
Lemon juice (for drizzling)
Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
2-3 tbsp freeze-dried dill (Litehouse makes a great product)
Bunch of asparagus, blanched
Kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper (to taste)
Baby arugula
This is mostly an assembly project, folks. However, the first thing you need to do is trim off the hard (whiter) ends of the asparagus and discard them. Bring a pan of water to a rolling boil, place the asparagus in and just blanch them until they are tender enough to eat. Don't allow them to become limp. Drain the asparagus and run it under very cold water. Set aside.
Line the long serving plate with a layer of baby arugula, one of the eight wonders of the foodie world.
The smoked salmon is generally layered in the package in stages. You want to spread them out a bit more, but leave them in layers, so that all of the slices can benefit for the olive oil and lemon drizzle. Place them atop the arugula on the long serving plate. Then, place the blanched asparagus along the sides.
Drizzle everything with extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice, and salt and pepper (to taste). Sprinkle dill on top and add the capers. Remember to drizzle and sprinkle the asparagus as well.
I recommend serving this with Triscuits, and I prefer the olive oil and cracked pepper Triscuits. Simple and delicious.
Remember that this recipe is simple to double up on as well.
Spicy Indian Dal
Posted by Deb Equality Della Piana in Indian, Sides on October 8, 2013
Here's another of those great Indian recipes. I love this stuff. When I was a kid, my family ate lentils all the time. I used to turn my nose up at lentils because I had no idea what they were or how good they truly are. To top it all off, they're also really good for you.
Well, lentils are the main ingredient in this great dish, and it doesn't matter what lentils you use…orange, red, green…whatever. Dahl can be used as a side dish as part of an Indian feast, or you can eat it with Pappadum or white rice. By the way, Patak makes a great cook-to-eat Pappadum that you can fry up yourself.
16 oz lentils
8 tbsp Canola oil
3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1.5 cups chopped onion
3 Jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
3 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp cumin
2 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp cardamom
1.5 tbsp curry powder (Madras, red or hot)
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp ginger paste
1 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tbsp turmeric
8 cups low-sodium chicken stock
In a large pot, heat the oil. Then, add the onions and cook until they are translucent. Do not brown.
Then, add the lentils, Jalapenos, garlic, cumin, garam masala, cardamom, salt, black pepper, sugar, ginger paste, curry powder, and turmeric. Cook for about 2 minutes until the herbs and spices meld together. Add the chopped tomatoes, and deglaze the pan with the rice vinegar.
Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to simmer, and cook until the lentils become tender (about 20-30 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Taste the Dal and adjust the seasonings if need be.
Korean Braised Short Ribs
Posted by Deb Equality Della Piana in Asian, Beef, Korean on September 30, 2013
This is a tremendously flavorful falling-off-the-bone dish. This recipe was contributed by my partner-in-crime, the charming Bill McKenzie, who is teaming up with me so we can take this blog to the next level.
For this recipe you'll need a Dutch oven because this masterpiece starts on the stove top and finishes up in the oven.
1.5 lbs beef short ribs
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup Sake
1/4 cup Mirin
1/4 cup sesame oil
1 tbsp ginger paste (or minced fresh ginger)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
4 scallions, greens and white separated and cut into 1/4 inch pieces
12 cloves garlic
2 cups low-sodium beef stock
Canola oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drizzle canola oil on the bottom of the Dutch oven. Sprinkle the beef short ribs with sea salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Brown the ribs in the Dutch oven on the top of the stove.
Once browned, add the rest of the ingredients, with the exception of the scallion greens and sesame seeds. Cover the Dutch oven and bring everything to a boil, then transfer to the oven. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours.
Place in a serving dish over white rice. Sprinkle sesame seeds and scallion greens on top.

Magic judges are perhaps best known as arbiters of tournament rules, but they are also passionate members of the Magic community who endeavor to ensure that events are fair and players learn the game.
Anyone with a strong enough knowledge of Magic and a desire to give back to the community can become a judge.
If you're looking for information on the Judge community such as how to become a Magic Judge or Judge exams, or if you would like to submit a Judge review or an investigation report, head over to JudgeApps, an independent website run by the Judge community.
Certified judges fall into 3 levels.
Level 1 and 2 judges typically adjudicate hobby store-based event. Colloquially, they are sometimes called "L1" and "L2" judges. Level 2 judges also mentor and test new candidates for Level 1. Over 95% of judges are L1 or L2 and their presence is appreciated by both organizers and players.
Level 3 judges are leaders of premier organized play and judge communities in their regions. They generally operate in large areas, across provinces and countries and are recognized as regional leaders in their communities. Premier play organizers seek L3s to adjudicate fun and fair events and to provide a great player experience. They also mentor L1s and L2s judges and assist with directing portions of the Judge Certification Program.
Regional Coordinators (often called "RCs") are usually Level 3 judges who act as a region's points-of-contact and coordinator for the judge program. RCs advise store owners operate premier events, facilitate judge mentorship and education in their regions, and help members of their communities by:
- Providing information about the Judge Program;
- Assisting tournament organizers find judges for events;
- Finding judging opportunities;
- Offering store owners advice on best practices for running events; and
- Building a positive community of stores, organizers, and players.
Whatever your question or need, contact your RCs for more information.
In an ongoing effort to be responsive to the Magic Judge Community, Wizards of the Coast is pleased to announce the formation of the Regional Coordinator Advisory Committee ("RCAC"), an independent group for judges to provide feedback about Magic and the Judge Program.

Sea levels are rising across the world driven by melt water from glaciers and ice sheets. Sea levels will continue to rise putting ever increasing pressure on sea walls and levees that protect vulnerable low lying land around the coast. The cost of protecting these low lying areas is becoming more expensive and more difficult as time goes by. One answer to this problem is managed retreat or coastal realignment. This is where existing coastal protection is deliberately breached to allow sea water to flood onto agricultural land. This takes pressure off during storm surges and helps protect nearby urban areas. As well as protecting towns around the coast managed retreat has the added bonus that it creates valuable wildlife habitat in the form of coastal wetlands.

Eid al-fitr is a religious holiday observed in all the nations of the world to mark the end of the 9th month of the lunar calendar ,the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, this month is marked with family gatherings, EATING (my favourite part of the celebration) shopping ,collecting money from elders and wearing beautiful and new clothes which I also love as well.
Growing up I looked forward to ramadan only because of the thought of eid but now am older and wiser,making me appreciate the ramadan more (may God answer all our prayer)
In the northern part of Nigeria where I come from some families sew 3 cloths for the 3 days celebration of eid al-fitr and 5 cloths for the 5 days for the big sallah but due to the economic challenges and unreliable tailors one may not even get a beautifully tailored cloth for eid which can be a big disappointed but not to worry leemlar got you covered with our several style inspirations for that special day so you can bear names like Slay mama…slay queen…slayonce etc with new cloths or those orphan cloths in your wardrobe that need purpose..which requires little or no cash to rock effortlessly.
My first eid inspiration is the signature IRO and Buba style that has been in the around for ages and this outfit happens to be my FIRST EVER SEWN WRAPPER, this newly styled iro and buba has an added edge to it ,either sewn with flay or closely fitted sleeves it gives off an air of elegance and grace,the wrapper simplifies the look by flattering whatever body shape you have modestly and beautifully ,giving off a simple yet sophisticated look that can be rocked anywhere and everywhere.

With the release of the new Wave 2 ships, it was only a matter of time before FFG would update the Tournament Rules. What I wasn't expecting was a FAQ update so quickly too!
February 2013 FAQ here.
New Tournament Rules here.
No massive rule changes or anything. Probably the most significant thing to a lot of players is the acceptance of 3rd party range rulers now being allowed in Organized play. Other than that,
- Addition of the Wave 2 ships for what's allowed in tournaments
- Clarification on Biggs' tanking ability
- Overlapping a ship that causes you to overlap an obstacle
- Assorted whatnots that I think were how everyone was playing it anyway.
Still, it wouldn't kill you to at least take a peek at it.

Project Space Festival Berlin 2014
Tobias Dostal and Ariel Schlesinger
insitu is pleased to present the one night only event, »Magic Tricks«, marking the very first collaboration between the Berlin based artists Tobias Dostal and Ariel Schlesinger. Especially developed for the Project Space Festival, the artists will focus on their shared conceptual interests. Driven by a fascination for moments of deception and illusion, the collaboration promises surprising interventions.
In his installations and drawings, Tobias Dostal deals with the magic of cinematography. He works to rid the film medium of its classic canvas by restaging it in a space with sculptural elements. He merges the filmed material with the physical form of filmic apparatuses such as rebuilt 16mm projectors and projection screens made of wood or paper constructions as a means to address the roots of filmic history.
The work of Ariel Schlesinger makes playful, occasionally kinetic and often threatening sculptures, which seem to be as much the work of an unhinged inventor as that of a post-conceptual artist. He blurs the line between outsider inventor and studio-bound artist. His practice is based on ›self-taught‹ engineering and an energetic spirit. In his work, there are often two layers: at first sight you see a poetic gesture, but often there is a political twist and a threat of destruction.

About Our Gay Guy/Straight Girl (GGSG) Reviews
I'll Show You Mine, If You Show Me YoursThis isn't a buddy read. Our co-reviews are done on a blind basis. We both choose the book we want to read, but from there on out we don't discuss any of our thoughts before the review is live. We think it's more fun this way and we won't influence each other.
Three Questions
We'll form 3 questions for each other during our read to be answered in the comments below the review. Please feel free to join in our discussion, we're always happy to know what you think.
Lisa Arbitrary
I'm stretching this to 2.5 stars because I was enamored, even enchanted by the beginning. It soared on wings and painted images that made me think I had really found something special. Unfortunately this book turned lazy, rushed and very disappointing.
I must admit that vampires aren't my first grab when I think of an M/M book, however the Australian Outback certainly is and I have enjoyed a good M/M vampire book, so when I saw the description for this one it called out to me. A definitely different take on the whole vampire thing by putting it into the Australian Outback I just had to see what it was about and Lisa and I decided this would be our first Gay Guy/Straight Girl review.
Zoran - Mean. Not wicked evil, but just mean. He needed to be unlikable, but I couldn't even work up that much feeling for him.
Bela - I cared for Bela. He was broken and aching and should have been developed more.
Mack - A simple cowboy turned vampire against his will. Just when he might have gotten interesting his character fades to black.
Jason - Poor Jason. From vampire meal plans to go-go boy he really doesn't catch a break. Why he's in love with Mack I've no idea. But no matter because he's able to move on to the next guy.
Jason - Poor Jason. From vampire meal plans to go-go boy he really doesn't catch a break. Why he's in love with Mack I've no idea. But no matter because he's able to move on to the next guy.
OJMack - Mack looked like a younger, more strapping version of him. They shared the same dark hair and complexion, a brooding brow and thick eyebrows overshadowing dark eyes. But Mack had the bone structure of his mother, high cheekbones and solid jaw, different from Allen's slim face and leathered cheeks. Nonetheless, in the right light, with his wide-brimmed hat overshadowing his face, Mack looked just like Allen.
Zoran - No breath escaped from his mouth and his hands were tinged blue around the joints. His eyes were red-rimmed from the cold and his lips set in a thin, line. His skin was pale and taut over perfect bones and under his furs, the hints of musculature were betrayed. Floppy, black hair covered his forehead, fringe just shy of his eyes.
Bela - Zoran could recognize Bela's slim frame anywhere. Bela's hair was slicked back, his body clad in fine robes and a dark, velvet cape that reached up around the back of his neck.
Jason - Jason was young and slim, his body finished with puberty but still gangly and undefined.
He was blond and blue-eyed, a perfect Greek face under shaggy hair.
Greg - Greg was a bartender at Fuel and was cleaning up after last drinks. He had aspirations to be a singer in a rock band and dressed the part. He was nothing but skinny, black jeans, studded belts and a slim but well-defined body. Greg's tight black T-shirt rode up to display a little gap of his freckled back as he ran the mop over the floor. His auburn hair was long at the front and flopped over his sweat-sheened face as he worked.
This story spans about two centuries from the early-19th century to modern day. Zoran, the ancient, experienced vampire has decided it's time to spread his wings and move on from his mundane relationship with his lover, Bela. After a gorgeous, erotic lovemaking scene I found my heart breaking for Bela. I was all in here. Then he vanished from Bela's life forever.
Bela decides to run to the newly colonized Australia with his consort to hide from his memories of Zoran. This is where the story really starts; with their somewhat brutal descent upon a cattle station and their overtaking of the property and family that owns it. This is also where the story falls apart. The beautiful tone turns cheesy and melodramatic.
The station is owned by Mack's family and Mack only has dreams of his life here, but quickly becomes captivated by Bela and a young man, Jason, in his consort. Exposed to all things sexual and vampire, Mack is overwhelmed with desire and curiosity. He falls prey to Bella's ways and must depend on Jason to save him.The plot of this story is what drew me in to this book and it remains a great premise worth exploring. The whole intermingling of the vampires and tough Outback settlers could be such an intriguing and awesome book and this book is really wanting to do that, really working up to get there and we see glints of the possibilities throughout. Not a bad plot bunny at all, rather interesting.
I kept thinking two completely different people must have written it and am left wondering if it was the author or editor that failed. The copy edit was spot on, but developmental editing didn't help the author here.
The dialog switching from modern terms to period phrases without regard to the scene's date. "Come to Daddy" completely threw me out of the story. Stopped me in my tracks.
The amount of gore and violence wasn't an issue for me, unfortunately, because it didn't come with any fear. I just don't believe the author was completely sure of what he wanted this book to be: A Western, PNR, Horror or Contemporary erotica. Sure all of those can be combined, but here it just made a mess.
Lastly, there were big issues with context. Did Zoran die or not? How did Mack find Jason at the end? And even the blurb has an error. I suppose there is a love triangle (except that would infer that three people were "in love"), but the blurb even has that wrong.

The one who made him isn't part of the triangle.
OJThe writing really shows great promise, and has moments of a brightness wanting to shine through, however I really found that it was rushed and not carried through as well as it could have been. I felt there was so much potential here with the story plot that wasn't delivered. The characters begged for more developing and further exploration, both in the 300 years prior to the start of the book as well as during the ensuing century in which this story takes place. At times the story became choppy and hop-scotchy and I had to double back and re-read passages, and still sometimes they didn't make sense. Something happened in the middle of this book with the writing. The last third of the book wasn't bad and followed a better writing line, it just begged for more in depth developing. All in all it was almost a 3 star.
For OJ1. Did the author reach you on an emotional level? Any feels?
2. How 'bout those oil guns?
3. Would you rather see a sequel or a prequel?
For Lisa
1. So what did you think of the erotic level and the sex scenes?
2. Who was your favorite character and why?
3. What was the most intriguing thing in the book for you?
When an ancient Italian vampire travels to the pioneering Australian outback, what he finds there triggers a decades-long love triangle from which there is no escape.
Mack, a young Australian cattle farmer, makes his living on his father's cattle station. The work is hard and the days are long but he is content with the life he has been born into. Unfortunately for his family, he is awakened to forbidden desires of the flesh by intriguing visitors from far-off Italy. When these visitors reveal themselves as lustful creatures of the night, Mack bites off more than he can chew and finds himself in a predicament he is ill-equipped to handle. Lost and seemingly alone, he spirals into a deadly path toward a decades-long love triangle between himself, the monster who made him and the love of his undead life.

Adrik is a cross-genre author, specializing in speculative fiction and erotica, but he mainly enjoys writing a mixture of both. His love of reading and writing began at a young age by forgoing nap time for reading the daycare out of books. He used to dream about being friends with Astro Boy and joining the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, sing along to Transformers and secretly indulge in My Little Pony. Invariably, these formed his first celebrity crushes and helped shape the stories he writes today.
Even now, Adrik is a big reader and counts among his most cherished authors Kim Stanley Robinson,China Mieville, Clive Barker and Octavia Butler. His all time favorite novels are the original Dune series by Frank Herbert because they are rich in detail and contain a multitude of fascinating allegories for contemporary society despite being written decades ago.
He also loves traveling the world and has spent an inordinate amount of time in Japan, but wouldn't be caught dead in a hostel.

-- Forget about whether Alabama treated
Dismiss the diversionary argument by Nick Saban that the SEC's new signee limit caused the Crimson Tide coaching staff to momentarily forget that adding two new signees to a class that already included 24 commitments would exceed the 25-player limit.
Here's the real question: Will
botched courtship of Philon cause the Crimson Tide to lose its foothold in Mobile's fertile recruiting ground?
"I don't think it will have a big effect, not in Mobile," said St. Paul's coach Steve Mask, a 30-year coaching veteran whose team includes at least three Division I prospects. "The bottom line is they're still Alabama. ... You have to look at how they've done in the past. Maybe this is an isolated incident, but historically they've lived up to doing what they said they'd do."
Philon wasn't the only UA commitment left without a spot in the 2012 signing class. The same thing happened to Atlanta-area running back Justin Taylor, who -- like Philon -- was committed to Alabama before suffering a knee injury and being asked to grayshirt.
Of course, a redshirt year that included access to all the advantages afforded a college athlete on scholarship could have more effectively served that purpose.
Davidson coach Fred Riley has repeatedly suggested that players be allowed to immediately sign when they commit instead of waiting weeks or months for National Signing Day.
"If they do not sign, they are not committed, (and) if the university does not allow them to sign, then they really haven't been offered," Riley said.
The anguish on Philon's face at Vigor's signing-day ceremony was clear
on a heavily viewed
. Will that image resonate with prospects and high school coaches?
"I don't believe they'll miss a beat in recruiting," said McGill-Toolen coach Bart Sessions, who tutors quarterback Jason Smith, one of the state's top juniors. "On the surface, I think, it should, but I'd say they'll sign 25 of the best players again next year."
Top prospects notice two national championships in three years and Alabama players parading into the first round of the NFL draft.
"Alabama is selling top-level gold," Mask said.
Some have suggested the Philon controversy is much ado about nothing, reasoning that coaches should be able to pull the switcharoo on signing day just as teens who so often swap loyalties.
But Saban and his coaching colleagues are rightfully held to a higher standard than impressionable teens. They should treat youngsters with honor and honesty, not like commodities that can be traded on a whim.
The honorable thing for a college coach to do is this: When he extends a scholarship offer, it means the player will enroll at his school and have a scholarship available as soon as he graduates from high school -- assuming he meets academic and personal conduct requirements. If not, don't offer.
Alabama filled the spot that had been reserved for Philon since September by accepting 11th-hour commitments from out-of-state defensive linemen Dalvin Tomlinson and Korren Kirven.
The honorable thing to do would have been to tell Kirven or Tomlinson that Alabama's class was full. Saban should have said, "Hey, you guys are superb players, but we've got this kid from Vigor who has been committed to us for months. Sorry."
But Saban didn't. As long as the winning continues, will anyone care?

I chide Hollywood on a weekly – monthly, if I'm feeling nice – basis about where they pull their ideas from ("Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and the upcoming "Pompeii 3D" are notable examples of my 'Holly-Hate'); so you would think that I'd have a field day when hearing that they're turning another beloved children's toy into a movie("Battleship" being the first). But Lego? Now, that's a whole 'nother story. With everyone's favourite childhood building blocks brought to life, some good-hearted humour, and a diverse yet superbly talented cast, "The Lego Movie" proves that even though some of us have grown past the chapter of our lives where we adored creating works of art with those multi-coloured bits of plastic, we're never too old to put them back together again.
"Where Are My Pants?"
Chris Pratt voices Emmet Brickowski, an ordinary, everyday Lego construction worker just following the rules set forth to him by the Octan Company day in and day out. When he discovers a mysterious object known only as the Piece of Resistance, he learns that he is the prophetic Special Master Builder and must use it to stop the 'Kragle,' a superweapon which threatens the very foundations of his Lego society. With help from another Master Builder, Wyldstyle, voiced by Elizabeth Banks, and her boyfriend, Batman (Will Arnett), Emmet sets out to stop the evil Lord Business (Will Ferrell) from using the 'Kragle' to destroy the Lego world.
A Must-See Adventure!
This is, by far, the most fun you'll have at the movies this year. Seriously, bring your friends, co-workers, siblings, and even your priest to this movie – they will all love it. The filmmakers knew what they had in their hands and they did not waste a single brick, err… bit of it; there is so much nostalgic goodness in this movie and so many pop culture references that you can be any age and still enjoy this movie. The film has a nice, seamless blend of stop-motion and computer-generated animation which gives it an old-school-in-the-new-school vibe. Nearly everything you know and love about Lego is here- the fast-motion building, references to Lego spin-offs such as Bionicle, and even the "ages 3-14" label on the boxes. This film isn't just the Lego movie by title – it encompasses everything Lego.
As previously stated, the movie features a stellar voice cast and you can hear the energy and emotion in every line these actors deliver. Notable cameos include Liam Neeson, Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, Billy Dee Williams, and Anthony Daniels (I know, right?!) and the ever-awesome Morgan Freeman. As with most children's movies, there's an underlying message that they're trying to get across and for the most part, they manage to find ample success with it but the moment it happens, it feels a little forced. The message comes a little naturally, yes, but there's never a smooth feeling of segue, as it just places itself in front of you. However, the message is clear, touching, and one that we can all relate to.
"The Lego Movie" is a hilarious, charming, and incredibly nostalgic experience of a movie and one that you can enjoy again and again. Through witty writing, marvelous voice-acting, and colourfully eye-popping animation, the little multi-coloured and multi–shaped building bricks from your childhood are brought to life on the big screen in the year's best (so far) feel-good movie.

An international group of women activists, including Gloria Steinem and two Nobel Peace laureates, on Sunday crossed the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea in a call for global peace and reconciliation.
"We are walking for a peaceful world, we are walking for a peaceful world," the activists sang as they crossed one section of the heavily fortified two-mile-wide zone.
WomenCrossDMZ hit a brief roadblock when the activists were denied an attempt to walk across the final stretch, but they were able to make the crossing by bus.
"Not only have we received the blessing for our historic crossing, we've gotten both Korean governments to communicate. That is a success," one of the Nobel Peace laureates, Leymah Gbowee, who was recognized in 2011 for her role in Liberian peace movement, told CBS News.
The event was formed to "call for an end to the Korean War and for a new beginning for a reunified Korea," the organizers state on their website. They continue:
Never Miss a Beat.

2015 marks the 70th anniversary of Korea's division into two separate states by Cold War powers, which precipitated the 1950-53 Korean War. After nearly 4 million people were killed, mostly Korean civilians, fighting was halted when North Korea, China, and the United States representing the UN Command signed a ceasefire agreement. They promised within three months to sign a peace treaty; over 60 years later, we're still waiting.
Sunday's event also includes forums in Pyongyang and Seoul for Korean women to share their experiences of being split apart from their families and for the activists to discuss mobilizing women for an end to the conflict.
Some South Korean protesters were critical of the march, saying the activists did not do enough to point out human rights abuses carried out by the North Korean government, but WomenCrossDMZ said the action had a different focus.
"This is about human relationships, this is about us seeing our common humanity in each other," Mairead Maguire, who received the Nobel in 1976 for her work in ending the conflict in Northern Ireland, said at a press conference on the southern side of the inter-Korean border.
"We are trying to make person-by-person connections so that there is understanding and accuracy," Steinem said at the press conference. "We feel very celebratory and positive that we have created a voyage across the DMZ in peace and reconciliation that was said to be impossible."

While I'm happily, superbly, unbelievably busy with the Animal Prints (DAILYCANDY you ARE totally my new BFF), I have one eye on the workshop with its growing reminder of things wanting attention…
• • •
Remember that "tie-one-on" post? Let me refresh you… and as luck would have it, some nice folks placed this chair on their sidewalk just for Gadora!!! I'm gathering my ties, all in a similar color scheme, and plan to pick my seat (teehee), then make it happen.
Found two killer lamps (not even needing restringing) at an estate sale. Unfortunately, the family of 27 children who hit the sale moments prior to my arrival liked this lamp too, and tore into the shade. No worries people, Gadora and her muse have some CLEAR plans for this one!

Thank our Canine Friends
What's the best way to motivate yourself to be physically active after age 40?
a. Join a gym
b. Adopt a dog
c. Cut out a photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger's biceps and put it on the refrigerator
d. Hire a personal trainer
Answer (b). Thank our canine friends. In a recent Canadian study of people up to age 80, dog owners were found to walk about 300 minutes per week, almost twice as many as those without a canine. The dog owners were also significantly more likely to follow through on an "intention" to walk, because, after all, who could say no to that face?

Four and a half years ago, I branched out on my own as a marketing communications consultant. I love the variety of the work, the flexibility in my schedule, and the ongoing learning about the industry and new clients. And I especially love my "commute" up two flights to
the tiny storage room my office.
Two weeks ago, with a nudge from a friend (thanks, Kathe), I took the plunge into a new adventure — launching a knitting class from my home. I've taught classes before through our local community education program and loved the experience.
I emailed about 25 friends and neighbors and am so excited that, on Wednesday, seven adventurous, creative people (plus a 5-month old baby) will start class.
What are your suggestions for a terrific first (or second) knitting project?

Hello there.I'm sorry to have gone AWOL on you there for a moment. Last week kicked me in the backside just a tiny bit. The husband had work travel that backed right up to a work trip of my own. This left me flying solo in the busy days leading up to my trip which required an extreme amount of juggling, patience and creative problem solving, which then blurred into a lovely but rather packed couple of days in Vermont. I arrived home late on Thursday feeling mildly dazed and quite relieved that this long-anticipated and highly-choreographed week was finally in the rear view mirror. It was the perfect time for one of the more unscheduled weekends we've had lately, and we all enjoyed a bit of hard-earned downtime. I spent it...
Wandering through the Copley Square Farmers Market...
Baking The Barefoot Contessa's Tri-Berry Muffins (throwing in the sugar at the end instead of mixing it with the rest of the dry ingredients gives these muffins an amazing crunchy top... they were a huge hit!).
Finally trying our new local brewpub (thanks for the fun treat P&G!). I have but five words: truffled blue cheese tater tots. And two more: dirty martini (the only appropriate way to end such a week).
We made pizza.
We ate fro yo.
We rode bikes and crossed things off lists and took turns sleeping in. I drank iced coffee and went grocery shopping solo and talked to my sisters for the first time in way too long. We were generally normal, sane people (a rarity in this house) it was so, so good.
Now I'm ready for a fresh, new week filled with recipes and musings to share. Stay tuned!
How was your weekend?

Recently I had a chance to sit down and chat with Douglas Bogart of Limited Run Games. It's been a huge year for the company since we got to talk last, and in that time LRG has risen from releasing a handful of titles to being on the verge of clearing fifty releases between the two platforms it currently publishes on, with dreams of maybe adding a third console to its Sony-centric mix. The interview ran long, covering a good number of topics, so this is part one of two (read part two here). There's a lot to catch up on so here we go:
[Hardcore Gamer] So how has last year been?
[Douglas Bogart] It's been extremely busy. Signed a lot more games, had an even more dense release schedule. It's been hectic; we hired more people to work for Limited Run so it's no longer just two people. It's still two of us doing the main part of the business, which has been getting the games and getting them produced, but finally had to hire an actual support team. Hired a shipping team; fulfillment's all in-house again. We had a nasty scare last year where we had outsourced fulfillment and they did a bad job, so in order to make sure our customers are getting the best packages they can, we now do it ourselves to make sure that it's being done properly.
It's interesting now too because devs reach out to us more than it used to be. It used to be the other way around, like a lot of time we had to beg developers, now they're all telling each other about us. We have a good reputation right now that we're trying to maintain, so everybody seems to be really happy with us. I would say another thing that's crazy is how many competitors have shown up just in over the year; it shows that we're doing something right.
How many games did you end up releasing in the last year, because I know I lost count.
I think it was… 46? That was where it ended. It equated to about a release per week when you did the math. When you move Breach & Clear up, because it's the only release we had in 2015, then it was about a release per week. Firewatch was the last number but Lone Survivor was the last actual release.
This year I know that you had the first part of the year packed a little bit more than it turned out to be packed with, so you've got a couple more on the way for March and April. What's the rest of the year looking like?
The rest of the year's looking good. This month we have Runner 2 followed by DariusBurst (Editor's note- the schedule changed a bit since the interview) and then we have some other games in there like Astebreed and Mitsurugi, Drive! Drive! Drive!, Tharsis, and all the Choice Provisions games. And then after that is a bunch of games we haven't announced yet (Editor's note- like the recently-revealed Flintook). That's looking pretty hectic, so it's going to be pretty crazy but we are finding spots to give people breaks, I guess their wallets breaks. It's going to be a crazy year, definitely, that's why we include now the loyalty program. That way now when you buy a game you get a ticket; you can actually turn these tickets in to get something from our store. We also are doing hold shipments and combined shipping now to help people that feel like our shipping is too much, especially international customers.
I know you have a lot of international customers…
It's about 35% of our customer base.
Do you have anything you can talk about for the Switch yet?
I can say that we have reached out to Nintendo, and we've talked. They seem interested and we're interested; I can't say if anything's going to come from it but I can say we are a lot further along than we ever will be with Xbox.
Has Nintendo talked about minimum print numbers yet?
Now with us, all we've ever heard is rumors. I know that it's not a lot; it's a much smaller amount than what Xbox is requiring. It's probably more on a par with whatever Sony is doing. Probably just because they own their own factory and it's SD cards. So I know that from what I've heard it's smaller, and I know their prices seem fair, so that's another reason why we're definitely interested in working with Nintendo. They seem way more indie focused this time.
Yeah, the number of developers I've talked to and seen working on Switch games is incredible. It's far more than I was expecting for a console that just came out.
It's definitely the polar opposite of what the Wii U was.
The Switch is looking to be a monster of a console as it ages over time.
There's a lot of feeling to that it's going to be the next Vita, in terms that there's going to be a lot of niche games, especially Japanese developers. They're going to switch over to Sw… I can't say that in a sentence. They're going to switch to the Switch…
I know, right?
…once the Vita is dead in Japan. You're going to find all the quirky games. The reason that people love their Vita, that's probably what the Switch is going to be.
Assuming for a moment you do actually get the Switch, that will be a potential three consoles. Say you get a game that comes out for Vita, PS4, and Switch, would you be making any concessions on the release schedule for the buy-everything collector, or would they just have to deal with three at once?
It depends on when the Switch version comes out. If we're talking to a dev that already had their game out on Vita and PS4, and they're like "Oh we're going to have a Switch one but it won't be done until this amount of time" then we might release the PS4 and Vita version before that just so that way it's out, and do the Switch version later and just let people know that the Switch version's coming. More than likely though we'll probably do what we've been doing and release them all at the same time. If we do a Switch, or Xbox, kind of what we did with out PC release, it's going to be a separate part of the Limited Run line. It'll be numbered as Nintendo Switch Limited Run #1. It won't be included as part of the overall catalogue. We'll just keep the Sony stuff bunched to itself; that way Nintendo fans who have no interest in buying anything Playstation-wise, they can feel like they have their own collection of Limited Run stuff that's strictly Nintendo.
I was also thinking in terms of the "Gotta have every single Limited Run release" because there's still people doing that, probably more than I know, honestly. And the question of course is the Vita still going to be releasing games when the Switch is hitting its stride?
Like do I think it's going to happen?
That's a question for everybody, honestly. You've probably got a better guess than I do, but…
I feel like the Vita market's going to run out soon, which is why we're starting to look towards the Far East for games. Thinking about maybe trying to bring some games over that never even got here before, because I feel like the Vita market in the west is… We're going to run out eventually, especially at the speed we're going. There's going to be a lot less video games to go because Sony's not really pushing that in America as much whereas it's still doing really well in Japan, so you're not going to see a lot of indie devs still making Vita games one day.
One of the things I've noticed about the releases is that the Vita games always sell out before the PlayStation 4. The Vita market seems to be a hungry market.
Yeah, so our Vita releases definitely sell better because they're hungry, like you said. That's why when anybody announces they're doing a Vita version and then cancel it they get the most flak, because Vita fans feel even more slapped in the face, because they're supporting a console that they thought you were supporting, and then you cancel your project; that means one less game that they have. That's why I'm hoping Vita fans, eventually when the Vita starts to kinda like die down, make the switch to the Switch. I feel like that's a good… it's kinda the next handheld. It's a good way to migrate. We're going to support the Vita until Sony tells us not to, so you don't ever have to worry about Limited Run saying "We're done with Vita." If we say that, that means that Sony told us. We'll be here for the Vita until it's absolutely dead.
I remember reading in the Gaijinworks Forum that Victor Ireland was talking about how they supported the PSP right up to the point that you couldn't print those things any more, the UMDs.
Yeah, he had the last print, Summon Night 5. That was the last PSP game to ever be printed, and then after that I think they shut the plant down, so he definitely kept going.
While that period is not here for the Vita yet, you can definitely feel that it's coming someday.
Yeah but, if you think about it, when the Vita was released, and if his was the last one, that was a good almost-decade of PSP support. I feel like they'll keep Vita around for a while, even if the developers aren't necessarily doing it. There'll be people like Victor and us that are still going to be pushing for it.
Talking about the publishing rights reverting to the developer/publisher after your print run is done, so far the only one we've seen is EastAsiaSoft reprinting Soldner X-2. Although that was Asia-only, that wasn't a US release was it?
No, it was Asia-only. The only thing about it that made some people upset is it's a shmup, so technically what does it matter if it's another region? That's what their opinion was. I was ok with EastAsiaSoft doing it, I mean it's their game; they can do what they want. I wish they'd just waited a little longer because the announcement was pretty quickly after ours. So that's probably the only thing going forward we might just try to keep ours a little more exclusive a little longer. But I definitely am 100% not wanting to hold anybody's game hostage. Like if they want to do a reprint they should do it; the whole point of us doing this is to be dev-friendly and to help the devs make money. It's also so we can own it, I mean it's a selfish reason- I want to own your game physically, I want you to own your game physically and your fans to own it, and I want you to make some money off something you thought maybe you couldn't do. So that's why we exist, to help other devs.
And that's the first part. Head over here for the part two, where we cover indie vs Japan and the growing world of small-press game publishing.
