Haven't we seen this somewhere before?
Yes, I know there's a new issue of Trinity out today. Yes, I'm busy right now annotating it. However, JK Parkin and I figured this was a good way to ease ourselves into the new blog, and maybe even test-drive some features. Who knows -- maybe now the comments will work correctly. I've also tweaked the end of this set with links to the posts from CSBG and Blog@ 1.0; so, you know, it's not like I did a complete cut-and-paste.
Naturally, if you haven't read all this, it's new to you -- so what are you waiting for? Grab issue #30 and play along, and come back tomorrow for issue #31!
Even though last week was filled with religious significance, it is probably just a happy coincidence that Trinity #30 featured the "genesis" of the Trinitarians' new world. I did like the conflicts inherent in this planet's creation, including a clever testamentary divide.
Anyway, I'm eager to get into the nuts and bolts, so as always…

"In The Longago" was written by Kurt Busiek, pencilled by Mark Bagley, inked by Art Thibert, colored by Pete Pantazis, and lettered by Pat Brosseau; Rachel Gluckstern, associate editor; Mike Carlin, editor.
In Brief: A ritualistic recitation of a new mythology.
Since this particular part of the issue is rather light on ordinary DC trivia, once again I'm skipping the page-by-page format.
– This was a sweet story, and a nice interlude amid the carnage occurring on Earth. It strikes me as the kind of story which would not have gotten the same presentation in a more traditionally-formatted series. Here, though, it can be integrated seamlessly into the narrative. I am not a fan of the sort of branched-out storytelling made popular by big-event crossover series, so I'm glad that Trinity doesn't have to designate which of its subplots are part of the main thread and which are disposable. Under other circumstances, much of Trinity's expository material, especially in this Act Two, could easily have been shifted into some sort of appendix; and given the logistics of another format, such a choice might have made more sense. I imagine that the expanded volume of a weekly series must also tempt writers and editors to expand their stories with what turns out to be padding. Regardless, even when read in big chunks, Trinity has never felt bloated to me, and I think it has taken full advantage of its format.
– Again, I did enjoy seeing Krona as the "Old Testament God" and the Trinitarians as the kinder, gentler "New Testament" deities. It's not clear to me whether the Trinity knows about Krona's stewardship, or vice versa; but I doubt that would have made much difference. (Actually, if the League of Extraordinary BFFs had figured out the Cosmic Egg connection, I expect the Trinitarians have further linked this planet to Krona.) They might not have liberated this world, as they thought about liberating the Anti-Matter Earth, but they appear to have made a positive difference in the lives of its people.
– I presume that the "Genesis Planet's" natives are blue because Krona made them in his own image. However, I always thought that, as a race, the Oans' blue skin developed along with their particular mental powers. The Maltusians, from which the Oans came, had Earth-style flesh tones; and so did their sisters the Zamarons. In any event, I am not theorizing that the blue people have latent Guardian-like powers, just that they're blue like Krona.
– Let's see if I have the chronology straight: the Cosmic Egg is a product of JLA/Avengers. From its first appearance at the end of that series until the end of Krona's captivity in Trinity was the Genesis Planet's "Old Testament" period, when Krona ruled with a cold, calculating fist. (Time passes differently, yadda yadda yadda.) Accordingly, pages 10 and 11 correspond roughly to the Troika's triumph at the end of Act One.
– You'd think, though, that in order for a "New Testament" religion to spring up around our heroes, they'd have to have been thrown back into the past who-knows-how-far. Thus, in real time, Krona's rule only lasted a few years, but the Trinitarians have been on this planet probably since before the beginning of recorded Earth history. Of course, for the blue people it's all been a straight line….
– In the same vein, I wondered originally whether the Trinitarians' Day-Glo selves were supposed to be poetic license on the part of the blue people. Now, though, I'm inclined to take it literally, indicating how they have been changed.
– Couldn't help noticing: Wonder Woman
calls her friends "Clark" and "Bruce" here, but judging by the derivations of their god-names, clearly "Kal-El" and "Batman" got much wider usage.

In Brief: Space Ranger (?) fights Brainiac, and both sides pick their Tarot decks.
Page 13 (story page 1):
– We know just about everyone, I think, in this band of desperadoes. (Why won't they come to their senses?) New faces (I believe) include the Scarecrow, Solomon Grundy, Vandal Savage, and Jason "Floronic Man" Woodrue.
– The Scarecrow, a/k/a Professor Jonathan Crane, was created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane and first appeared in World's Finest Comics #3 (Winter 1941).
– Solomon Grundy, formerly Cyrus Gold, was created by Alfred Bester and Paul Reinman and first appeared in All-American Comics #61 (October 1944).
– Vandal Savage, originally the caveman Vandar Adg, was created by Bester and Martin Nodell and first appeared in Green Lantern vol. 1 #10 (Winter 1943).
– The Floronic Man, f/k/a Plant-Master, a/k/a Floro, was created by Gardner Fox and Gil Kane. Ordinary human Jason Woodrue first appeared in The Atom vol. 1 #1 (June-July 1962). His current plant/human hybrid form dates back to The Flash vol. 1 #245 (November 1976).
Page 14/2
– "The garrolous human is long-lived": Vandal's an immortal, having been exposed to a particular radioactive meteor as a caveman.
Page 15/3
– Okay, Space Ranger is so totally the Martian Manhunter. "More than holographic projection" = shape-shifting; "intraspatial linear field" = immateriality; and "thermal helm-blast" = Martian vision. There may be Silver Age stories showing S.R. with each of those powers, but at this point I'm as convinced of "Space Ranger's" true identity as I am that Professor Hugo Strange was behind "Hush." In other words, I may be completely wrong, but it makes perfect sense.
Page 16/4
– Panel 1 also shows us a familiar-looking telepathic link, which J'Onn would use as a communications channel for the Justice League
. Now, I am willing to concede that the Ranger/Brainwave communication is a function of Brainwave Jr.'s telepathic networking, but acting as the switchboard between the Atom and Brainwave is a little more sophisticated.
Page 17/5
– Ray "Atom" Palmer has appeared in Trinity already, but I think this is his first appearance in costume. He played a similar espionage role in JLA/Avengers.
Page 18/6
– No annotations.
Page 19/7
– "The Green" refers to the concept, first articulated in Swamp Thing, of an extradimensional continuum connecting all plant life. A "biomorphic field" may be another way of saying the same thing. It should probably not be confused with the "morphogenetic field" which facilitates the powers of Animal Man and Vixen.
Page 20/8
– More new faces: "The Chariot" is Zoom, the Reverse-Flash; "The Empress" looks like Cheshire to me (although Tringenuity thinks she's Lady Shiva, and next issue's preview might prove them right); and "The Hi[erophant]" (sometimes called "The Pope") is Ra's al Ghul.
– Professor Zoom, a/k/a Eobard Thawne, was created by Gardner Fox and Carmine Infantino and first appeared in The Flash vol. 1 #139 (September 1963). His successor, police scientist Hunter Zolomon (called simply "Zoom") was created by Geoff Johns and Scott Kolins. Zolomon first appeared in Flash Secret Files #3 (November 2001), and became Zoom in The Flash vol. 2 #197 (June 2003). Judging by the glowing red eyes, this looks to be Zolomon.
– Let's cover our bases: Cheshire, a/k/a Jade, was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez and first appeared in The New Teen Titans Annual vol. 1 #2 (1983). Lady Shiva, a/k/a Sandra Woosan, was created by Denny O'Neil and Ric Estrada and first appeared in Richard Dragon, Kung-Fu Fighter #5 (December 1975-January 1976).
– Ra's al Ghul was created by Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams and first appeared in Batman #232 (June 1971).
Page 21/9
– I'm not sure who's depicted in panel 3. It looks like Rosie the Riveter, but for some reason I think it's Sandy the Golden Boy. Probably Rosie, though [and Kurt Busiek confirms this].
– Hawkman's Tarot lineup includes a bearded Aquaman, as well as Plastic Man and the current Mr. Terrific.
– Plastic Man, a/k/a Patrick "Eel" O'Brian, was created by Jack Cole and first appeared in Police Comics #1 (August 1941).
– Michael "Mr. Terrific" Holt was created by John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake and first appeared in The Spectre vol. 3 #54 (June 1997).
Page 22/10
– No annotations.

Well, I didn't see Act Two turning into a battle of Tarot-based armies; but it does provide a bigger payoff for all the Tarot material in Act One. Maybe I stopped visiting Tarotpedia too soon….
By the way, if you haven't seen it already, be sure to check out Tom Spurgeon's interview with Kurt Busiek. It would be well worth your time even if there were no Trinity tidbits; but of course there are some insights into the series' development.
That's it for issue #30! Again, I'll see you tomorrow, right here at Robot 6, for issue #31.

Yves Saint Laurent Birthday Fashion Pictures
A Glamorous Look at Yves Saint Laurent's Incredible Life and Work
A Glamorous Look at Yves Saint Laurent's Incredible Life and Work
Today marks Yves Saint Laurent's 76th birthday. While the French designer passed away in 2008, time has certainly proven his fashion legacy and artistic vision will always remain. His name is synonymous with glamour, luxury, and impeccable couture tailoring, but to earn his place in the iconic fashion ranks, Yves began his career at the early age of 17. He was head designer at the House of Dior by 21, and by 26, he went on to create his own label, YSL. From there, you need not look further than the silhouettes we still wear today — with his 1966 debut of the Le Smoking tuxedo suit being an impressive example of his definitive influence on style. Above all, Yves was a veritable trailblazer. He became the first couturier ever to design a ready-to-wear line, he was the first designer to ever feature ethnic models in his runway shows, and he became the first living fashion designer to be honored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a solo exhibition in 1983. Take a moment to pay homage to one of the greatest designers in fashion history — here's an in-depth look at Yves Saint Laurent's incredible life and work.

Reading a news item about Glenn Close and Rose McGowan who were reared in a cult group made me think of a cult group that I had known. In the US it goes under the name The New Testament Church and it had its beginning in Sri Lanka when it was called Ceylon. The group Ceylon Pentecostal Mission was a mongrel church alright. They drew from so many sources, Armstrongism, Church of Rome to name a few. They lived and preached two different things. They chose ministers from members who were to practice celibacy like the Catholic Church. They preached grace and yet made works as their cardinal virtue. They like pharisees made outward observance of prayers, fasts abstaining from alcohol, tobacco as proof of their holiness. They claimed they were totally separated from worldly affairs but always found members whose filthy lucre bankrolled their faith life. They insisted on their recruits full immersion baptism and speaking in tongues. The latter was the means to ensure their hook on the congregation. If anyone wanted to leave the two elders or pastors would buttonhole and ask him or her by wanting to leave they must have been speaking tongues ( not of Holy Spirit) but of devil.
They knew how to control minds of their congregation in spending hours in shrieking and blabbering. They made tattle-telling a virtue and made attempts at believers to ferret out how others lived at workplace or at home. They came between husbands and wives in telling 'the weaker vessel' what to watch out in the other. Sunday service for example the joy of Christian spirit was the 'holier-than- thou' Yahooism. Let me explain what it is. Gulliver speaks of Yahoos in his travels and these were brutish in body and mind. In these Pentecostal group there were believers who made a virtue of cheeseparing and leanness in their spirit as ticket to Zion! The Mission called special meetings whenever they could and these were mind numbing sessions as waiting for the Spirit. Innocuously enough they made him/her toe the line having got control over his/her emotional and mental reserves.
In order to be counted as part of the group how members lied through their teeth before taking communion!How they made some pillars of the community shiver in their pants! Those who drank(social drinking) skipped it and made virtue of their lack of consideration for others by crying and making a show of tears only to repeat the same ad nauseum.
The Mission made the members read only passages they wanted them to know- Nothing more. Most of the elders are iliterate whose knowledge in the Scriptures ( as far as I know) was limited and calculated to serve the purpose. Typical of Catholic church that they discouraged private interpretation!They rearranged emphases of OT and New Testament in order to reimpose the rule of Levites in the Church! They discouraged reciting Lord's prayer giving reason it was only for the nominal Christians! 'After this manner pray ye' (Mt.6:9). In their view there was to be a hierarchy and they were to be part of the select few 144,000 souls meant for Zion!
The pastors and elders are those who have left all or burned the bridges after them so to speak. All their sermons are taped and sent for screening. They are put charge of 'faith homes' anywhere and are liable to be sent on short notice to anywhere decided by the Mission HQ. There are fat and lean areas the latter being assemblies that do not have many members to provide for their necessities. One may judge what it would mean. In such a controlled atmosphere with sisters and brothers bound by invisible handcuffs the Alwin controversy was bound to happen.
At the time of marriage I joined this group. I was a sunday school teacher and wrote hymns etc. For me reading Bible was not merely for reading. 'Truth shall make you free' it is said. One fine day I had enough or rather I saw their pernicious doctrine and decided to quit. The pastor asked if I was speaking in tongues under Holy Spirit or was it something else. I admitted I was mistaken and that made me get out of their hold.
I have never even come across these rascals after that day. It was as phony as my marriage which had to stop somewhere. The Pentecost Mission must be still around and never more I got entangled with the group.
Nov.9 2015: With regards to speaking in tongues, it was seen and heard on the day of Pentecost. As Jesus promised to his disciples it happened. He had to go to his Father in order to found the Church. This speaking was therefore a sign for all. There were many gentiles present on that momentous occasion. The Holy Spirit gave several abilities for building up the Church. I believe speaking in tongues accompanied with interpretation do serve any local church if it were done properly and the counsel has some grain of truth to benefit the assembly. . In the Pentecostal Mission bad faith of the pastors to differentiate the 'holy' and 'nominal' on the basis of speaking in tongues has already debased their ministry. Each member of the Body of Christ is part of that Church by faith. No longer he has to prove others by making noises. Such tarrying for Holy Spirit as insisted by TPM is an useless exercise. Having mastered English to write this post I did not set out to recite alphabets first. Similarly faith in the salvation offered by the blood of Christ has made it unnecessary to prove my life before some.

Air France to axe 5,000 jobs by 2014
Issued on: Modified:
Air France announced Thursday plans to shed more than 5,000 jobs, about 10 percent of its workforce, by 2014. The struggling Franco-Dutch airline, which posted an €809 million loss in 2011, said all departures would be voluntary.
AFP - French airline Air France said Thursday it is to cut over 5,000 jobs or around 10 percent of its workforce in voluntary departures by 2014.
A total of 5,122 jobs will be shed and the struggling carrier said in a statement that all departures would be voluntary provided a new framework agreement can be signed with unions.
"Air France has chosen to work in complete transparency and to privilege social dialogue to find structural and sustainable solutions, included in corporate agreements," it said.
If new framework agreements are signed by staff then "Air France has pledged not to make redundancies and to implement various measures to support the necessary reduction in staff numbers," it said.
The struggling Franco-Dutch carrier Air France-KLM has launched a major cost-saving programme after posting a loss of 809 million euros ($1.0 billion) for 2011 and a first quarter net loss in 2012 of 368 million euros.
Shares in Air France-KLM shot up by 6.0 percent after the job cuts announcement.
The company said that the new framework agreement is "a major condition of the company's recovery" and the carrier needs to increase economic efficiency by 20 percent by the end of 2014.
Air France said the Central Works Council would have draft agreements for signing by unions on June 28.
"If the agreements are signed, the accompanying measures to reduce staff numbers will exclude the use of forced departures before the end of 2013," Air France said.
The efficacy of the plan will be evaluated in the second half of 2013 and if the 20 percent improvement is achieved "the use of forced departures will also be avoided in 2014," the company said.
If the agreements are not signed then the improved efficiency would be achieved "in a much more economically constrained context."
"Given the impact of the necessary reductions in activity and routes closures, forced departures may therefore not be avoidable," Air France said.
Air France CEO Alexandre de Juniac said that "Air France is facing a fundamental choice about its future."
"Our business plan has two ambitions: to ensure Air France returns to profitability and to better serve our customers. If we all make the necessary equitably distributed efforts, there will be no forced departures," he said.

Predators return home, blow out Blackhawksby John Manasso
NASHVILLE -- As evidenced by his play at the IIHF World Championship last spring, Craig Smith can be a very productive player when he's at the top of his game.
Smith totaled 14 points in 10 games for the United States in that tournament, including five in a quarterfinal win against Russia.
In the NHL, Smith has proved maddeningly streaky, capable of lengthy unproductive stretches. With his Nashville Predators struggling to score, Smith ranked among the team's least productive players, with one point in his previous eight games.
On Saturday, he helped his line and his team break out with a vengeance, scoring a goal and adding two assists in a 7-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks at Bridgestone Arena.
The win, which came in the Predators' first home game following a seven-game, 17-day road trip, snapped Nashville's four-game losing streak.
Each member of Smith's line -- he played right wing with Nick Spaling on the left and Matt Cullen at center -- scored even-strength goals.
"I think Craig was really skating," Spaling said. "He was creating a lot of pressure and Cully was making plays. It was just a good night that way. It was just a sustaining pressure."
Nashville coach Barry Trotz agreed, also acknowledging Smith's speed, perhaps his greatest asset.
"I thought Smitty was really, really moving his legs tonight," Trotz said. "He stayed on pucks and was really hard to handle. He was creating things."
Smith appeared visibly relieved to have helped Nashville pick up the win and end the team's arid goal-scoring stretch. Entering the game, Nashville had lost four straight by a combined score of 17-2.
"Yes, it felt great," Smith said. "It's been a long time. It's been a tough couple of games. I thought we did a great job sticking with it."
Chicago suffered its first regulation loss in three weeks -- and also by far its worst defeat of the season -- and had a four-game winning streak snapped. The Blackhawks had gone 7-0-1 in their previous eight and had not suffered a regulation loss since Oct. 26, a 5-3 win for the Minnesota Wild.
The Blackhawks, who have a home game Sunday against the San Jose Sharks before embarking on a seven-game, 11-day road trip of their own, suffered a couple of key injuries Saturday.
Right wing Marian Hossa participated in warm-ups but decided afterward that he could not play with a lower-body injury. Chicago coach Joel Quenneville appeared to leave the door open to Hossa's playing on Sunday, saying he was day-to-day.
Goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, who suffered a lower-body injury and had to leave the game with 4:27 left in the first period, seems a different situation.
"We'll know more tomorrow, but it could be a bit," Quenneville said.
Khabibulin, who had not played since allowing four goals on 22 shots in 31 minutes against the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 29, injured himself as he went into his butterfly when Nashville's Shea Weber shot wide from the point. Khabibulin fell to the ice and lay prone, later making a stop on Nashville's Patric Hornqvist.
With the puck in the corner, the officials immediately stopped play, and Blackhawks medical staff attended to Khabibulin, who was hunched over as he skated off the ice.
Khabibulin allowed two goals on eight shots, but it was Corey Crawford who took the loss after allowing five goals on 22 shots.
While Nashville has had trouble scoring, for the second straight game, the Predators notched the game's first goal. At 7:28 of the first period, Cullen ended a run of 10 games without a point by diving to tip in a rebound of Smith's slap shot off a 3-on-2 rush.
Less than a minute later, the same line connected again to put Nashville ahead 2-0 when Spaling ripped a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle over Khabibulin's catching glove at 8:25.
Nashville got its first goal past Crawford at 9:02 of the second period on the power play to take a 3-0 lead. Roman Josi scorched a slap shot from the left side that Patric Hornqvist deflected to beat Crawford high to the blocker side. The goal was Hornqvist's team-leading sixth.
Weber picked up an assist on Hornqvist's goal, earning his 300th NHL point in the process. Brandon Bollig was in the penalty box for a delay of game penalty that he received for shooting the puck over the glass behind the Predators goal from inside his own blue line - about 125 feet away.
Smith scored his fourth goal at 18:18 of the second after Cullen intercepted a pass by Marcus Kruger in Chicago's zone. Cullen sent the puck low to Smith, who was all alone and roofed a backhander.
Chicago cut the score to 4-1 just 26 seconds later when Patrick Kane banked the puck off the right-wing boards and skated in alone. His low wrist shot evaded Nashville rookie goalie Marek Mazanec, who made 39 saves to earn his first NHL victory.
In the third period, Brandon Pirri stuffed home a rebound of Brent Seabrook's shot four seconds after a penalty to Nashville's David Legwand had expired. The goal at 6:14 cut the Predators' lead to 4-2.
Nashville answered almost immediately with a 2-on-1 strike. Viktor Stalberg, playing his first game against his former team, swatted in a high backhander from Gabriel Bourque 15 seconds later.
"Obviously, it was exciting for me," Stalberg said. "I was there for a few years, and I have some good friends on that team. It feels good to beat them in our first game (as opponents)."
At 12:19, Mike Fisher swiped in a feed from Hornqvist, who had stripped a Chicago player of the puck along the boards, to make it 6-2.
Weber slapped in a power-play goal, his fifth of the season, at 14:07 for the final goal
Despite all the offensive fireworks for Nashville, Mazanec's contribution proved critical. Trotz elected to start him for the second time in two nights, even though Carter Hutton had played several years with the Blackhawks organization until Nashville signed him in July.
Mazanec, playing his first game in Bridgestone Arena, said he was surprised by Trotz's decision.
"Yeah, I was," he said. "The game before was not really good. I think Hutton was going to play this game. I appreciate that I get a chance and that coach trust in me. It's really important for me."
With No. 1 goalie Pekka Rinne out indefinitely with an infection in his hip, the Predators have needed a steadying force in goal. Trotz said he thought the offense Saturday was a result of solid defense. If Mazanec can do the job, maybe he could be the lift the Predators need.

Picture: Tamera Mowry at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards held at the Gibson Amphitheatre - Arrivals Universal City, California - 22.07.12
Actress Tamera Mowry has opened up about her battle with depression in a bid to help new mothers struggling to overcome the baby blues.
The former Sister, Sister star has previously been affected by depression, and was terrified she would experience the debilitating condition again after discovering she was pregnant with her first child last year (12).
Mowry felt relieved her symptoms didn't reappear after she gave birth to her son Aden John Taylor last November (12), and she has now shared her coping methods to help others dealing with the disorder.
In a post on her blog, she writes, "(Post-partum depression) is a topic that I think a lot of mommas need to know more about! I was so worried that I was going to get it because I have experienced depression before, and let me just tell you that it is no fun at all. It's a very scary situation to go through, and I was especially worried about going through it again after having Aden. Luckily, I didn't get it - but, I did do enough research to feel like I would be prepared if I did."
Mowry advises new mums to build up a support system, consider natural remedies such as fish oil and Vitamin B, and insists, "Know that you are not alone!"
She adds, "Ppd is not 'weird' and you are not a loser or considered 'weak' if you get it. You deserve to be happy and your baby deserves a healthy mommy!"
Rob Schneider's new low-brow body-swap romp "The Hot Chick" is such an insipidly sexist so-called...

The capped-cpu resource provides an absolute fine-grained limit on the amount of CPU resources that can be consumed by a project or a zone. When used in conjunction with processor sets, CPU caps limit CPU usage within a set. The capped-cpu resource has a single ncpus property that is a positive decimal with two digits to the right of the decimal. This property corresponds to units of CPUs. The resource does not accept a range. The resource does accept a decimal number. When specifying ncpus, a value of 1 means 100 percent of a CPU. A value of 1.25 means 125 percent, because 100 percent corresponds to one full CPU on the system.
The capped-cpu resource and the dedicated-cpu resource are incompatible.

Today, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that wrestling be removed from the 2020 Olympic Games. The recommendation was ultimately made by secret ballot of several rounds, and wrestling was voted out from a final group that included modern pentathlon, taekwondo and field hockey.
This is an unsettling decision for many in the pro wrestling community, a landscape that is full of successful amateur wrestlers at all levels, including former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, a TNA wrestler.
"I was really in shock [when I heard the news]," Angle said in a phone interview today. "It's the oldest sport in the world. It's like pulling the 100-meter dash out of track and field. It doesn't make sense at all. To drop wrestling shows that the IOC has no tradition.
"[Modern] pentathlon was the one was supposed to be dropped. They threw wrestling to the dogs. I'm pretty upset about it. I would have picked the pentathlon. Or what about handball or badminton? Do we really need that?"
Though there will still be yearly world championships for amateur wrestlers, Angle said the Olympics is the ultimate dream for so many competitors.
"That's all I dreamt about. I didn't have fun as a kid. I didn't go out and go to the movies. [Wrestling] is all I did. I was a kid with a dream. I wasn't going to let anyone stop me. I had a very selfish childhood. I'm wondering will these kids today still continue to wrestle or will they give it up because they won't be in the Olympics?"
FILA, the governing body of amateur wrestling, can appeal the IOC's decision. If they are successful, wrestling can return to the 2024 Olympics but will remain excluded from the 2020 games.
Gerald Brisco, an accomplished amateur wrestler and now a scout with WWE, is also distraught with the news.
"As a scout I communicate with amateur wrestling coaches. I've received 50 emails a day from upset coaches across the country," he said. "To me, it's a big blow. It's an uneducated blow that these people over in Switzerland made. It's a travesty for the sport. It's one of the oldest sports known to mankind, a sport that demands respect. A bunch of men sitting in an office made a rash judgment call on such an important sport in our civilization."
One thing the WWE Hall of Famer does foresee is an increase in the amount of amateur wrestlers who become interested in WWE sooner in their amateur careers.
"In a selfish way, [the decision] helps me because there's no more Olympic dreams," Brisco said. "I've lost a few [possible candidates for WWE] that say, 'I want to be an Olympic champion,' to which I say, 'Go and fulfill your Olympic dream and then come back to us.' Now there will be two options: WWE and MMA. It will probably make my job a little easier. There's not that dream of an Olympic championship. I hate to put it in that light but it might make my job a little easier."
Some amateur wrestlers choose the sport because of their love for pro wrestling, like former WWE superstar Shane "Hurricane" Helms, who wrestled in high school and in Greco Roman and freestyle wrestling tournaments for seven years. He actually discovered amateur wrestling after falling in love with pro wrestling.
"[When I heard the news], I immediately got hot," Helms said. "To me, wrestling is the ultimate of pure sports. There's no equipment. It's you against somebody else. That's the essence of what the Olympics all about. With sports like gun shooting, ribbon dancing, horse riding, with all due respect to those sports, how could you even touch wrestling? There's a long list of other [sports] that could disappear and people wouldn't notice."
Several WWE superstars took to Twitter to express their feelings about the decision. See their statuses below:

I'm having a hard time dealing with non-existing after life. I mean I don't believe in any Gods so therefore there is no reason to believe in an afterlife. I know my conscious mind will be gone and therefore I will not be aware of anything but i still can't believe in completely and total darkness after life.
what do you all believe happens after death? Maybe hearing others opinions will make me feel better about this.
Views: 601
Great post. I used to stay up and cry at nights thinking about death - that one day my mother and father will never be alive. That one day my younger brother will never be alive. That one day soon my grandparents will not be alive. That one day I will not be alive. I will be nothing. I will have no consciousness - no memory - no thoughts - no existence - I will be spoof, NOTHING.
I really used to cry at nights once or twice a month with this fear until maybe a year and a half ago. Saying this - I never even considered believing in an imaginary afterlife to appease these fears. These fears are why religion is so powerful - our self awareness of life and death - this is why it is so hard to get rid of the irrational beliefs of those who are devout.
I think at the end of the day - this fear becomes less and less with maturity. Once growing up and maturing - one realizes that we are all animals and to have this fear is simply selfish. This is the beauty of evolution and we are lucky enough to have been that one sperm that fertilized with our mother's ovum to form into a human being and enter this world. Saying this - I understand where you are coming from...
Hell - this has influenced my field of study. I studied business administration before and now I am back in school studying psychology/neuroscience as I feel that once we are able to somehow map the brain - it may be possible to transfer consciousness to computer chips. That day is many decades - even centuries away - but it is a passion of mine to learn and understand the brain. As a worse case scenario - when I get older- I will not be buried but I will undergo cryonics - do you know what that is?
cryonics? yes i am aware of what this is, but isn't it costly.
I'm at the point now where you use to be, upset and scared out my mind. I keep reminding myself this happens to everyone and everything ends but i'm secretly wishing for another dimension or something...lol.
How old are you may I ask??
With cryonics - you can put them as your life insurance beneficiary. And hopefully in the years to come - the technology for it will improve and become more beneficial.
At the end of the day - I don't fear death so much as of yet - I am 27 - I am sure once I get older, I will once again start to become more paranoid but I rather use the fruits of my passions rather than dwell death like I used to. But again...I know where you are coming from and how you feel..
My recent experience in Iran may have changed me in some ways in that everyone are alive but in their eyes are dead (like zombies) living under totalitarianism and oppression and I appreciate living in freedom even more than I did before..
21. so i have a loooong life ahead of me.
*Knock on wood. Imagine how much science has progressed the last 70-years and look at the potential it has for the next 70-years.
Do you like to read?? I really suggest you read Dr. Michio Kaku's new book "Physics of the Future" - it is remarkable and is based on reality, not fiction. Dr. Kaku has interviewed over 300 of the top scientists in the field in predicting the future from now until 2030, from 2030-2070, and life in 2100. It is a fascinating book (I am 3/4th of the way done) and I am actually reading it right now. I highly suggest you read it and the advancements he predicts in the coming years.
Have either of you ever heard of the Singularity? Its a very interesting topic that a lot bright minds like Ray Kurzweil believe isn't too far away. Basically it's the notion that our technological knowledge will have advanced to the point where we will have unlocked the next stage in human history, good or bad.
Yup I have. We'll see where technology takes us.
Yes we shall! Extinction or the Cosmos, exciting. ^_^
your English is fine no need to apologize.
This what happens after I die thing, extension of existential angst, has never bothered me. Personally I am completely at ease with my mortality, ever since it first crossed my mind. I think the anxiety comes down to not fully absorb and understand what Nelson said, namely what exactly not existing entails.
An anticipation of "completely and total darkness" speaks to that effect. There will be no such thing. There will be nothing at all. You will seize to exist and that's that. The only thing that survives of you is a fading and progressively corrupted memory of you in the minds of others that do exist. But it won't matter to you, because there is no you to be concerned about anything at all.
(It will be interesting to discuss the transferability of (disembodied) consciousness, (meaning a personality with a certain biographical narrative etc.) one day, because I think there are reasons why it is impossible. I am however not completely certain.) Another question is the desirability of such an operation if possible. I think some serious thought will have to be put in this if or when the time comes.
Cryogenics is simply an extremely wasteful way to not deal with the facts of death by self-important people who think they are just to wonderful to die. Currently clients being frozen have themselves completely wrecked and demolished at the cellular level. It is merely an icy mummification process and hardly an improvement on the theme, that could at least be energetically easily bettered by simple burying their corpses in layers of permafrost and hope climate "skeptics" are right. (Whose vainglorious stupidity could be argued is on a par.)
Postponing death is much more difficult, not impossible, but difficult and an uphill battle at attempting to tweak cellular processes against ever more complex trade-off mechanisms, than it would be to focus on maintaining a good health at ever higher age and improving on the quality of life instead of the quantity of it. This has been done quite successfully already in wealthier countries and primarily in the wealthier layers of society within these wealthier countries.
Cryonics.. yeah..
what happens after death, is the same as what happens before birth...

Upon resigning from the Friars Club, Groucho Marx famously said, "I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member." That reasoning seems to be consistent with two ballot measures before us this fall concerning primary elections.
Don't support moving sixth-graders to middle school
Not only will this move cost taxpayers $70 million, but research consistently shows that sixth-graders' performance does not improve when moved to middle school. Sixth-graders will lose an entire year of literacy programs. Furthermore, sixth-graders in middle schools have more disciplinary actions; again, this is not good for students.
Read petitions carefully before signing
My home is in Morrison. I absolutely love living here and greatly appreciate the amazing views, the teeming wildlife and the beautiful open spaces. I was born and raised here on the Front Range, and feel very fortunate to be able to call Colorado my home. I would guess that you feel just as fortunate and, like me, feel very protective of our wonderful community.
The political conventions are over. The final television images showed convention workers popping the red, white and blue balloons and sweeping them away. The candidates nominated in Cleveland and Philadelphia are the most unpopular in modern times, and perhaps in the history of our country.
For many years prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, I was an active and vocal proponent of universal health care. It always seemed to me that socializing our health risks worked better when everyone was part of the pool. I supported requirements at both the state and federal levels for people to have health insurance.
A half century ago in rural Pennsylvania, a woman named Clem spent her mornings immersed in the pungent smell of chlorine and the ornery noise of youngsters wakened too early.
Part drill instructor and part den mother, Clem preached water safety with the fervor of a country minister, and over the years she taught thousands of young charges how to swim. For the older students, the ones earning their lifeguard certification, this also meant a course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

As a boy I used to pass time on the school bus by counting street signs bearing names of classmates or family friends: Norman Lane. Willa Way. Lemasters Drive. Julie Lane. Granzella Road. Herzman Drive. What a novelty, I thought, to live in a community where roads are named after residents who are still living.
Anybody know where a guy can buy some crow meat? And while we're at it, do any of you have a good crow recipe?
I confidently wrote last year that while Donald Trump's and Bernie Sanders' campaigns for president were showing signs of success, they couldn't last. I asserted that Trump's success was nothing more than the result of the outrageousness of his comments, and that Sanders' appeal had more to do with an enthusiasm gap for Hillary Clinton than for any real support for him.
Library says thanks for additional funds
As property tax notices begin to arrive, we want to say "Thanks!"
If all politics is local, a phrase coined by former House speaker Tip O'Neill, then Colorado's U.S. Senate race has come home to roost in the coverage areas of our three Jeffco newspapers.
No less than three of the current 12 Republican candidates for the seat held by Democrat Michael Bennet hail from Jefferson County, and that trio's political careers have been covered closely by our papers.
It may well be up to us.
The odd constitutional provisions that will have the state of Colorado issuing refunds to taxpayers at the same time as cuts have to be made to a variety of government programs in 2016 have long been a source of consternation. Over the last year, a variety of things have been discussed.
It's a little known fact that members of Congress don't have to live in the districts from which they are elected. That's not the case for school board members in Colorado.
There was some question about the residency of candidate Regan Benson during the recent school board election in Jefferson County, but as it didn't appear (or occur) that she would be a particularly viable candidate, the issue went away pretty quietly.
As we enter the holiday season, I'm thinking about a big do and a big don't.
The big do is Colorado Gives Day. In its five-year history, Colorado Gives has become the preferred way of making end-of-year charitable gifts for many people in our state. An initiative of the Community First Foundation and First Bank, Colorado Gives Day is an easy way to make contributions to more than 1,800 of our state's nonprofit organizations.
The results in Tuesday's school board recall were not surprising, but the vote margins were stunning: Ken Witt, John Newkirk and Julie Williams were recalled with about 64 percent of the votes in a county where registrations are evenly split among Democrats, Republicans and independents.
The three conservatives, who claimed their seats in the 2013 off-year election, were trounced at the polls in another off-year that saw an impressive turnout fueled entirely by Jeffco's school district drama.
I've been planning for weeks to offer my thoughts on the controversy surrounding the Jeffco school district. And I've also been procrastinating for weeks. Of late, our politically polarized school system has become the third rail of local politics — touch it, and you die.
A phone call last week from a loyal reader stirred me from my inertia (some would say cowardice). The gentleman raised several good questions about our recent coverage and, as a result, helped me organize my own thoughts. He should call daily.
The last time the Jeffco Public Library saw a tax increase, the Internet was still a gleam in Al Gore's eye. Nor had DVDs been invented. E-books? Forget it. "Portable" computers that didn't result in a hernia? Surely you jest.
In fact, the last time our library saw a boost in taxpayer support was some 29 years ago, and since then in Jefferson County, demand for services that the library offers has exploded:
• The county's population has grown by 130,000 people.
The worst thing about the almost two years of turmoil that we've experienced in Jefferson County schools is that it's been a continuing distraction from the school district's most important responsibility — to educate the kids who live in this county. Anything that distracts teachers from focusing their energy on giving kids the best possible education is a major flaw that should be resolved as soon as possible.
By Jim Rohrer/Columnist
The political news is surprising as two unlikely candidates are soaring in the polls. Not many would expect a self-identified socialist to challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president, but U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is gaining some traction. He trails her in a recent Iowa poll 52 percent to 33 percent. In New Hampshire, it's 56 percent to 24 percent. No, he is not the front-runner, but his strong numbers are very surprising, and Clinton must be looking over her shoulder.
Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered!
That should be the simple lesson for some grousing small arts organizations that have argued that the proposal to continue the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and shift modest revenues from large organizations to smaller ones doesn't give them enough.
County commissioners' decision questioned in Jared's rezoning
Jefferson County has a Planning Commission that responds to zoning issues presented in unincorporated areas of the county. That commission recently held hearings on a request by Jared's Garden Center to build an indoor volleyball facility and a pub on its property on West Bowles Avenue.

text:
On this week's Smash, Bombshell finally opened (and the critics weighed in!), Ivy Lynn and Karen made crucial relationship decisions (and found time for unexpected/delightful bonding!), and speaking of (ahem) "bonding," a naughty Tom got his freak on with…Kyle?!
Oh yes, Kyle, The Character Formerly Known as Gay Wallpaper (TM pending), got himself a stylish haircut, a newly discovered set of cojones and apparently the ability to quietly seduce everybody's favorite neophyte Broadway director! Color me shock'ed!
Without a doubt, though, this was Smash's very best episode this season — even with Leo back in the mix! — so let's get to the facts, shall we?
THE REVIEWS ARE IN FOR BOMBSHELL! | Yes, the Marilyn musical finally opened, and the critics all throught it was fantastic. Well, except for The New York Times, which liked it with the exception of Tom's direction. (Waah waah waaaaahhh.) All we got to see was Ivy Lynn's rendition of "Don't Forget Me," which she slayed (even if it's maybe my least-favorite tune in Bombshell.) Eileen, buoyed by the mostly positive response, decided to ignore Agnes' cautious advice and double down on advertising — in the hopes of sweeping the Tonys and ultimately realizing her dreams of running longer than The Lion King.
IVY LYNN GETS CLOSURE…ON MULTIPLE FRONTS | Ivy Lynn and her mom made peace — and her mom even started a new clip book to keep track of her little girl's big career. (Aww.) More surprisingly, she made peace with KAREN. Yep, the two former rivals had a really sweet sit-down in the ladies' room at the Bombshell afterparty where Karen admitted to some pangs of jealousy watching Ivy Lynn as Marilyn, and Ivy Lynn's patented brand of Season 1 spunk/bitchery percolated to the surface. "The magical Karen Cartwright? You do some tiny show at the Fringe Festival and suddenly it's the can't-miss event of the season!" Really, though, it was nice to see a sense of sisterhood between the rising starlets, capped by a killer duet to "That's Life." Even more fascinating, though, was Ivy Lynn discovering Derek was still pursuing Karen just a few weeks back — around the same time their own "casual/maybe not casual" dalliance resumed. And just like that, Ivy Lynn shut down Derek without explanation — "I'll let you know if I need you again" — and chose single-lady status over being the toussled Brit's Plan B. Good for her! [Side note: My fave part of "That's Life" came when Ivy Lynn delivered the line "my friends just wouldn't buy it" as Bobby and Jessica whooped their approval. Oh Bobby and Jessica, I'll miss you most of all!]
KAREN PUTS HER ROMANCE WITH JIMMY ON ICE | Karen decided that even though attending the Bombshell premiere would be like going to her ex's wedding, she'd gather up her pride, get gussied up, and accept Eileen's offer of free tickets for the entire Hit List team. Ana, meanwhile, discovered that Adam dude skulking around the stage door wasn't just an old friend of Jimmy's, but more specifically, was Jimmy's estranged brother. (Can we all give Ana the side-eye for immediately inviting the dude out for drinks? I mean, yeah, I'm sure she was dying for intel, but on the other hand, Jimmy did write and is the current costar in the show that's responsible for her big break, right?) Anyhow, despite the roomies' current cold war, Ana spilled said intel to Karen — "nothing he says checks out!" — just as Jimmy told Kyle he was going to come clean to Karen.
Right before the Bombshell premiere, Jimmy got his chance: He was an abused kid who got turned out on the streets with his brother. "I dealt drugs. I used drugs. I watched people OD and I didn't call 911." Kyle saved him that life, though, and became his true brother, while Adam means nothing to him. Naturally, though, Ana brought Adam to the afterparty. Kyle got up in the dealer's grill. Then Jimmy jumped in and fists flew — until Eileen dumped a bucket of ice over the brothers' heads and kicked them out. (It wasn't a tossed martini, but a solid alternative that didn't waste any useful alcohol, I suppose.) Karen, showing good sense, told Jimmy it was clear he wasn't willing to change — even if his intentions were good. "You scare me, Jimmy," she said, walking away. Jimmy pretty much jumped up and down with his strained toddler face and whined, "You asked to get to know me and you did, and now you're walking away of course!" Well, people do walk away when you generally act like a douche, Jimmy. But hey — Derek's free, Karen's free…does this mean they'll finally hook up? Okay, Derek's not 100 percent free — seeing how he hooked up with the gorgeous, charismatic pilates instructor (Mara Davi) who accused him of sexual harrassment and caught the eye of TVLine staffers earlier in the season. But that just looks like a dalliance, no? (Also: Derek and Scott want to bring Hit List to Broadway — setting up a possible showdown with Bombshell — and between Karen and Ivy Lynn — at the Tonys? Ooooooh.)
TOM AND JULIA'S "MARRIAGE" BEGINS TO CRUMBLE? | Tom got a tentative offer to direct a Broadway revival of City of Angels, just as Julia began to negotiate the Broadway rights to The Great Gatsby (the novel she and Tom had always dreamed of turning into a musical). Tempers flared when Julia found out via Rosie O'Donnell (¡!) about Tom's potential new gig, and Tom was forced to reveal that for the time being, directing — and not writing with his longtime partner — was his passion. Julia, meanwhile, got the idea from Scott (who I always want to refer to as Eric) to try writing the musical on her own — and bringing it to Manhattan Theater Project. Then they made out! (Sidebar: If Julia really is Tom's bestie, she should respect his desire to try new things in his career and be cool about it. I mean, he forgave her dramaturg secrets in a matter of 24 hours, no?) Oh, and then a drunken Tom, all alone at the end of the Bombshell party, spied the suddenly kinda hot Kyle, and was all. "Hey, wanna get out of here?" And Kyle was all, "I should really go see if Jimmy is okay, but I don't want to." Wink-wink, and presumably, baw-chicka-wah-wah! I have to say: I kind of approve!
What did you think of this week's Smash? Did the Tom-Kyle hookup surprise you? Are you glad to see Karen and Ivy Lynn pressing pause on their unhealthy romantic relationships? Should Karen be thanking Ana instead of giving her the cold shoulder? And how about the Ivy Lynn-Karen duet? Sound off below!

Update #5: Discs and Stretch Goals
What is Drifter and why is it on Kickstarter?
Drifter is an open-world sandbox space trading game that takes place in a galaxy with thousands of stars and endless possibilities. Live the simple life of a merchant, become a bounty hunter, take on work for hire, become a fearsome pirate, or simply explore the galaxy around you, the choice is yours.
I am independent game developer Colin Walsh, creator of the critically-acclaimed iOS space shooter Red Nova, and Drifter is my take on the venerable space trading genre. Inspired by games I grew up playing like Frontier (itself the sequel to the grand-daddy of all space traders, Elite), and Privateer, I'm hoping to bring something fun and exciting to an under-served corner of the video game world.
Because a game like Drifter deserves more than just canned royalty free music, joining me is renowned video game composer Danny Baranowsky, who is known for his work on a number of awesome titles including Super Meat Boy, The Binding of Isaac, Canabalt, and Cave Story 3D.
Drifter has been in development for about 8 months now. I'm planning to release it for iOS later this year, but I'd also love to bring it to PC and Mac. That's where Kickstarter comes in. With extra funding, not only will I be able to expand the game to those platforms, I'll be able to make it even better in the process. I'll bring in a 3D artist to help me create new assets and I'll be able to focus on adding more features to the game.
The Game
Drifter, as I mentioned previously, is intended to be my own take on the "space trading" genre. Briefly, it is a single-player sandbox game that will allow you to fly a spaceship between thousands of different star systems in a procedurally-generated galaxy. The idea is to create an expansive future world filled with excitement, danger, and opportunities for you to explore and enjoy.
The game already features a massive procedurally-generated galaxy 100,000 light years across with over 10,000 star systems. As it takes shape over the next few months I plan on adding a ton of things for you to do.
Here is an idea of some of the things you can expect in Drifter when it's released:
- A PC and Mac release simultaneous with the iOS release: assuming the Kickstarter campaign is succesful I'll have time to devote to giving the PC port the attention it deserves while I work on the game.
- A huge galaxy to explore: The game already contains a 100,000 light year wide galaxy with 10,000 stars. In addition to this there will be dozens of hand-shaped "core worlds" where most of the action will be happening.
- A responsive soundtrack: Not only do you get a great custom soundtrack by Danny Baranowsky, but the game will pick music appropriate for the situation at hand to give you an even deeper sense of immersion.
- Many things to see and do: An expansive marketplace where you can earn a living as a trader. Massive asteroid fields with valuable ore ripe for the taking. Procedurally generated missions you can take on, like: courier missions, convoy escorts, or attacks on enemy strongholds. Hunt NPC pirates in the more dangerous systems, or become one yourself.
- An engaging story: There will be a series of hand-written missions which will help tell an interesting story set within the world of Drifter. The story will allow the player to further immerse themselves in the game and learn more about the different factions that inhabit this corner of the galaxy. While you can choose to ignore the story, you'll be able to earn equipment and ships, and explore certain systems that wouldn't otherwise be available.
- Lots of customization: All ship hulls will feature customizable equipment slots. You can choose your weapons, armor and shields, as well as what sort of powerplant and support equipment you need for the task at hand as well as for your playstyle.
- Improve your character as you play: Much like in traditional RPGs your character will have a series of attributes you can improve as you play. This will give you bonuses to ship attributes as well as for different aspects of gameplay like trading, mining, and piracy.
Who Are You?
I am Colin Walsh, an independent video game developer living in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. I run Celsius Game Studios, which I founded in 2009 to realize my dream of running my own company making video games. Celsius is just me right now, but I hope that will be changing soon.
Prior to working on Drifter for the past 8 months, I released the critically-acclaimed iOS space shooter Red Nova, which was a finalist in the 2010 Best App Ever Awards in 7 different categories, including Best App.
Celsius Game Studios is also a client of The Genesis Centre, which is an incubator for technology companies run by Memorial University of Newfoundland. What this means is that I've had to go through an intense vetting process to prove to a selection board that I have what it takes to run a business. What I hope this means to you is that I'm very serious about making games and that Drifter is in good hands.
Why do you need this money?
In order to make Drifter an even better game than I could on my own I am hoping that by pre-selling copies of the game and these different backer rewards I'll be able to bring in enough money to hire, at the very least, a 3D artist to help work on assets for the game over the next few months. They'll help create things like new ships, space stations and other interesting background objects that will help bring the game to life and make it look that much better.
Having an artist on board means I won't have to make assets myself, which I have been able to do so far but it is a time-consuming process. This way I will be able to focus more of my time on programming and game design.
Additionally, a small portion of the money will go towards covering my expenses so I can continue to work on Drifter full time. This will keep the game release on track as I won't have to take on extra contract work.
What happens if you get over-funded?
If this Kickstarter gets dramatically over-funded I already have plans in place to add one or two additional team members to Celsius Game Studios with the aim of streamlining the development of the game.
Backer Rewards
A breakdown of all the different rewards offered for supporting Drifter.
The Game - Pretty simple, a DRM free digital download of the game on PC or Mac when it is complete.
Early Beta Access - You'll get access to the game while it is still in beta should you want to. I will, however, save the story missions for after the beta so as to not spoil your enjoyment of them.
The Soundtrack - You'll get a digital download of the game's soundtrack when it's done.
The Poster - The Drifter poster is designed by illustrator Steve Courtney. It is 18"x24" and will be printed using archival quality paper and inks and will be suitable for framing. All posters printed for the Kickstarter will be individually numbered as well.
The Collector's Box - Harkening back to when games had boxes, games like Drifter is inspired by, this box will have a real printed manual, a fold-out galaxy map you can put on your wall, and a game disc with art designed by Steve Courtney.
Your Name Included in the "NPC List" - There will be a pool of names that the game will use to generate names for NPCs you encounter in-game. Your name will be added to this list!
Signed Poster - The normal poster signed by Danny and Colin.
3D Printed Ship Model - Using 3D printing technology you'll get an awesome replica of the Drifter "starter" ship. It will be finished in grey primer. Also, while it might go without saying, these models are not intended to be toys and are for display purposes only (click here for more details on the material they will be constructed out of). There will be a large 6" ship (pictured) which is included at $500 and above and a small 3" ship (not pictured) which will be included in the $250 reward level.
Drifter T-Shirt - All backers at $250 and above will automatically receive a t-shirt based on Steve Courtney's exceptional poster design. All other backers can add a t-shirt to their pledge by adding $30 ($35 outside the US and Canada) without changing their reward level. When the campaign is over there will be a place in the backer survey to specify the style and size of shirt you would like to receive.
Become a Drifter Legend - You'll be written into the game! Have a planet named after you, or a space station, or heck, an entire star system. Want to become the legendary space traveler who was lost never to be seen again? I'll work with you to add you to the game in an interesting way, within reason of course.
What about Linux?
I've been a huge supporter of Linux since the mid-90s and there is no technical reason that I can see why a Linux version of Drifter is not possible. Originally I was unsure if I could support Linux at launch and was hesitant about promising it as part of the Kickstarter. However, if the project meets its $100,000 stretch goal I will be able to put resources into making a Linux version possible at launch. Also, even if that goal is not met, I promise that I will work on Linux support after launch and all backers who receive a reward that includes a copy of the game will be able to get the game on Linux when it becomes available.
International Friends
This information has been stolen shamelessly from The Banner Saga's Kickstarter page, as I think it's pretty darn useful. I hope they don't mind!
If you live in a country where you cannot donate directly to Kickstarter the current best option is to buy a prepaid amazon cash card and use that for your donation. You must add $1 more than the prize amount to make sure the donation goes through. This thread (a million thanks to Double Fine), offers the most comprehensive guide on how to do this.
Thank You
Thank you for having a look and I hope I can count on your support for Drifter. It's been a life-long dream of mine to run a video game company making games like this. Hopefully through the magic of Kickstarter I'll be able to keep doing what I love as well as get a running start on hiring some amazing talent on what promises to be an incredible journey.

At the end of a long season with the german cycling cup, the team started at the 3rd of October with a total amount of 12 riders and one woman on the course of the Sparkasse Münsterland Cup with 66 kilometers. Even it has rained the night before and the roads were still wet, at 8 o´clock when the race started, the race remained dry. The strategy was coordinated within the team and consistently implemented. Dirk Müller, Georg Krampe, Dominik Weber, Dominik Hofeditz, Jonas Arlt, Christof Blum and Markus Schultheis worked well together at the front of the race. Each effort was taken, each attack neutralized. Five kilometers before the finish line it came finally to a bunch sprint. The final of the 2017 season was launched in Münster. Arlt, Weber, Blum, Schultheis were able to hold their ground in the leading third of the peloton. In the best position, Georg Krampe took the sprint 200m ahead of the finish line and secured the second podium finish of the TEAM in this year's German Cycling Cup season. Jonas Arlt, once again very strong, scored the 14th place. At the end of the day, three podium finishes in the age classes and a victory in the team ranking.

Summer Camp for Kids
We offer residential summer camps during the summer holidays for children aged 6 to 13 years.
The children spend the week outdoors at the camp, making new friends and learning new activities while having oodles of fun.
At the summer camp, located on the beautiful south coast of England, near Chichester, West Sussex, the children can sail, horse ride, kayak, enjoy games on the beach, roast marshmallows and toast chocolate bananas around the beach campfire, boogie board, go crabbing do archery, make biscuits and ride bikes. We are very outdoorsy.
There are 3 great camps to choose from: Multi Activity - Sailing Camps - Pony Camps.
We keep our summer camps small so that they can be more personal and tailored to the individual.
We nurture children's natural self-confidence, while giving them a fun and completely unforgettable children's holiday experience.
Wickedly Wonderful is for anyone aged 6 to 13 years old! It doesn't matter about ability, shape or size – it's all about being away from home in a safe, positive, exciting and constructive environment that encourages children to grow mentally, physically and spiritually.
We are based on the South coast, in a wonderful, spacious and safe environment in the heart of the beautiful Sussex countryside, 1.5 hours south of London, near the Cathedral city of Chichester and not far from the beach. We offer free transport to the camp from London.
The children have enormous amounts of fun while their parents either shoot off for a few days of relaxation (and recuperation!) or head back to the office with the peace of mind that their children are enjoying the great outdoors, making new friends, learning new skills, growing in confidence and being encouraged to take on new challenges whilst being supervised in a safe environment.
Children have been enjoying holidays with Wickedly Wonderful for eleven years, and these are holidays that they will remember forever. We run sailing camps, pony camps and multi activity camps for children aged 6 to 13 years old during the summer holidays and ski camps in the Feb half term and Easter holidays. Due to constant requests from parents who want to join in on the fun, Wickedly Wonderful now offers family ski holidays as well as children-only summer and ski holidays.
Catherine Scholes is the Camp Director and works with an excellent team of activity leaders.
The staff who make up the excellent team at Wickedly Wonderful are chosen for their fun, enthusiastic characters and for their experience with children. They are energetic and responsible.
