With the 2012 Republican Convention about to open its doors, here's how the race shapes up at the moment, based on RealClearPolitics' poll average:
In other words, too close to call. The investors at Intrade still make Obama the favorite, with 55.8 percent of dollars invested favoring the incumbent and 43.7 percent predicting a Romney victory. At fivethirtyeight.com, Nate Silver predicts a 2.4 percentage point margin for Obama come Nov. 6, with a 69.3 percent chance of an Obama re-election.
And according to Gallup, 58 percent of Americans believe Obama will be re-elected, compared to 36 percent who predict a Romney victory. Among Democrats, 86 percent predict victory for Obama, while Republicans are less confident in their champion, with just 65 percent predicting that it will be Romney raising his hand to take the oath of office in January.
Still a long way to go, including debates. But at this point Obama is showing strength, especially considering how poorly he should be doing as predicted by models that focus solely on the economy.

Morality? — "Mama – I read Ben's comment. You could have inferred that he was speaking directly to you if you are that sensitive. On the other, hand I can infer that he wasn't. You wanted an answer and received one."
If I'm not mistaken, you got banned earlier today for being a sockpuppet.

Regarding millionaires and billionaires – I know most of you do not consider me rocket science material, but it just seems to me that if millionaires and billionaires make more money, the middle-class and low-achievers will also? I have no wealth envy, as I think it benefits all!

When Michael Steele said that there were ONLY 32 black delegates to the 2008 GOP Convention in St. Paul…..and the evidence is clear that the GOP doesn't WANT black people in the party (refer to Kevin Phillips, deviser of the Nixonian "Southern Strategy", i.e., "black people have NO PLACE my Republican Party"), the question IS an appropriate one!!
What does a hurricane in the Gulf in 2008 have to do with the RNC convention in MN?

Jay – It seems reasonable to me that it is the REAL Democrat Convention Schedule. What do you disagree with? I have already pointed out that Jesse will most likely not be allowed to speak due to his current fragile mind. Get well soon Jesse. However, Al Sharpton will be more than happy to take Jesse's time but I am concerned that 15 minutes will not be long enough. Holding Al to 15 minutes – if they can do that maybe they can save the economy.

Mama – If I had been banned you wouldn't be replying to me now would you? How many sock pockets have you used? Ben was attacked repeatedly and maybe he got a little carried away. Responding to attacks from the left on here draws Jay's ire. I have heard just as bad from the left as the right. Guess he has banned Debbie Do Right? Don't know what Debbie Did Wrong (sorry) so Jay bans equally without regard, to etc. etc. etc. etc.

Morality — "Mama – If I had been banned you wouldn't be replying to me now would you?"
Not necessarily. There are several posters here who have used various means to circumvent banning. In fact, Ben himself *admitted* to having been banned a few weeks ago and point-blank asked Jay if he was going to get thrown back off for doing so.
"How many sock pockets have you used?"
None. Real men don't need sock puppets.
"Ben was attacked repeatedly and maybe he got a little carried away."
Making personal attacks when one is not themselves attacked is not 'getting carried away.' That's why Ben got warned, and, I suspect, it's why he took off immediately thereafter.
"Responding to attacks from the left on here draws Jay's ire."
I didn't attack Ben. I simply held his feet to the fire on an implied insult he made against me. He didn't have the character either to clarify what he meant or to retract it.
"I have heard just as bad from the left as the right."
Irrelevant. Ben's warning was due to Ben's behavior. Not anyone else's.
"Jay – mama called me a sock puppet…… is that something I should be offended about? Be nice mama."
Jay clearly said earlier today — on this very thread — that you have a history of using sockpuppets. If you don't like the accusation, then take it up with Jay.

In a recent Bookman blog the race issue was mentioned. Elsewhere on the web I've read that, privately at least, a number of members of the GOP acknowledge that this is their last best chance to return to majority power by appealing almost entirely to white voters. (Then, of course, they intend to further manipulate the system so they can keep power) While the GOP may not overtly use racism, certainly every "closet" racist and biggoted buzzword in their vocabularly keeps popping up along with every effort to deliver the message, 'Obama's not like you and me'.
I have little doubt that Mitt Romney personally knows more about how the US and world economy works than Obama and/or any of the advisors that are actually on the side of the employee class of Americans does.
I also have no doubt that Romney has every intention of using that knowledge for the best interest of the wealthiest among us. Everything he has said indicates that he, like the rest of the moneyed investor employer class actual ownership of the GOP, have a total lack of regard for the right of every person to exercise their own "free will". The GOP has abandoned BOTH individual liberty and equal right under law as far a the right of the average American (especially women) to make their own personal life style choices. The so-called "smaller, less intrusive government" to the GOP and under a Romney presidency, would apply only to PROFIT$ and the pursuit thereof.
If the GOP can continue to get the "follower class of people" to not notice these two truth — if the GOP can keep them in a religious stupor through the election, so they will not consider the actual EFFECTS of GOP policies on the employee class of Americans as well as "least among us", AND, if they can get them to the polls to vote, the GOP stands a good chance of overcoming any purported incumbant advantage.

- OUTSTANDING!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014I have lost count on how many times I have been here. Chef Rocco is a true talent! Great food, great service, great atmosphere, great location and most of all fun dining experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Addition to WynwoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014Great food and service. Rocco, the owner, is very personable and the wait staff friendly and helpful. My wife loved the fact that they offer half portions. Love the decor with all the art work. Place had a great energy. Will definitely return.Special Features:
- Amazing experience.williamdaneDined on 9/20/2014Our sever was more than fantastic, recommending two dishes that we ended up trying and absolutely loving!Special Features:
- Great food, service & decor!ChristopheDined on 9/20/2014I have been to R House for drinks and dinner and would recommend it for both. Great food and drinks, nice decor, patio outside (which will be more enjoyable in the winter) and on top of that, a great service. Waiters are usually nice and not overbearing, not asking you every 5 seconds if you are happy, not interrupting your conversation like in so many places here...Special Features:
- Different--not much more than OkaySalgoldVIPDined on 9/16/2014Very pretty restaurant, enjoyed the art setup--perhaps not particular artist currently being displayed but the food was okay. Not thrilled about location as well . . . not just yet . . . got a ways to go. Glad they take Prime Card . . . might consider going back as long as still accept Prime card. Otherwise, I'm out :-(Special Features:
- Good food. Awful service.Russell2014Dined on 9/13/2014I really wanted to like this place. Nice vibe and atmosphere. But the service was just so bad! Food, while good, came out cold. Drink orders never came. And we had 3 different servers the entire night who kept on disappearing. Trendy new place with expensive bill - you expect much better service. Our service was just not poor, it was non-existent.Special Features:
- Great Even Under Monsoonal PressureWillDined on 9/13/2014We had a table outside during the very busy Art Walk and the skies opened like there was no tomorrow. The staff quickly rearranged the already chaotic inside dining area to accommodate all of us. The transition was seamless... food was delicious... atmosphere was hopping. Great experience!Special Features:
- Must vist R houseEvlovesfoodVIPDined on 9/13/2014From the cocktails to dessert, R house was excellent. Great vibe, good music and service was wonderful. Tuna tartare was amazing ! Highly recommendedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved itLaraVIPDined on 9/10/2014Nice place, decor, great service and to top it off food was excellentSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good DealGreedyGirlDined on 9/7/2014I went with a friend for Sunday Brunch. We ordered the pecan french toast which had no pecans. The table next to us got several orders and there were tons of pecans! The eggs with feta and potatoes were really good...as well as the pork sliders. the listed mac and cheese was a waste of calories. It had no flavour! When we sent it back, the waiter didn't seem too happy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a great placeluisacottoDined on 8/30/2014The place has a great menu and vibe. We went on a Saturday and we were expecting to have some live music, but they only had a playlist. A guy and a guitar would have add to our fantastic dining experience. Food was exceptional - best in wyndwood. The service was slow, we ran out of drinks couple of times. This really only affects the restaurant as they could be making more money. Besides my complains of live music and drinks- we had an amazing time and I can't wait to come back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and vibeAndyGIIIDined on 8/30/2014Thanks to Open Table reviews we decided to try this place. Very cool spot with a simple menu yet quality food. The owner chef Roccio came around and checked in with everyone. Jacob our server was great. Very knowledgeable of his menu and just a really good guy who loves his job. A must go to spot. We will return soon.Special Features:
- deliciouspassion4foodDined on 8/27/2014Besides out waiter forgetting to take our entree order and having another waiter look for him, the ambiance is very warm. Great comfortable seats outside. Food was very good. Hidden gem restaurantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014Great food and service, but avoid the "empty" moqueca (no fish, no seafood, no nothing....)Special Features:
- R House is good for food but...MiamifoodiemavenVIPDined on 8/23/2014The service was disappointingly slow. We got seated a few minutes prior to the table next to us yet they got served drinks and appetizers before we even got water. Our drinks took about 15 minutes to get and the server took a while to take our order. Once we did get the food, everything was delicious! Highly recommend the ahi tuna entee, and the jalapeño margarita. The banana Creme brûlée dessert was also amazing! Would go back, but have heard from friends to expect slow and bad service and unfortunately that is the regular routine there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- R HouseYazuDined on 8/10/2014Brunch was amazing! Food was excellent and so was the service. Definitely going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but priceylocalopinion4Dined on 8/10/2014I went there for brunch with friends. The way they have their menu/prices set up is a bit confusing for groups. The food was good, not amazing. Service was very good, server was attentive. The place is hip, artsy, cool and it has a nice ambiance. The only negative thing I could mention is that you will end up paying South Beach tourists prices by the time you are done. Maybe not worth paying the money specially having other options in the surrounding areas for similar quality food in also nice places, for less. Also visited the place on a Wednesday night during Happy Hour, now that is when its definitely worth visiting. Great drinks and small bites for good prices.Special Features:
- What a great House....OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014Found this place through a friend , went back again two days later for dinner. Food was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good foodmichelle0608Dined on 8/9/2014We really enjoyed our dishes - they came out a little too fast but otherwise no complaints!Special Features:
- ExcellentryanmhDined on 8/9/2014We weren't sure what we were getting into when we made reservations at R House during the Wynwood Art Walk. It was the only place in the neighborhood that had open reservations -- we felt lucky but skeptical. However, our server Jacob quickly quelled our nerves by demonstrating a thorough understanding of the menu and a passion for the food. I won't go into detail about what we ordered but suffice to say everything was excellent from cocktails to main course. Note: If you order appetizers, I would recommend only ordering a half size of the main course -- it's plenty. (Also, it's great they offer half sizes of some of the main course items - more restaurants should do this!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- R House Wynwood is wonderful!VanessaDined on 8/6/2014We've had two wonderful experiences at R House. The 1st time was a Saturday night in May. We sat outside and a fantastic live band was performing. The 2nd time was last Wednesday and we had dinner inside. We were initially disappointed that there was no live music during the week, but the ambience was still nice and artsy, and it was more elegant inside, not too noisy, better for having dinner conversation. Both times, the food, wine, & service were all excellent! We enjoyed the ceviche, the lobster corn soup, the Brazilian moqueca, the seafood linguine, the grilled ahi, the lamb shank, and the skirt steak....all absolutely delicious! We are locals and R House is now our favorite Wynwood restaurant for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/3/2014Food was great. Portions for brunch are huge. Could easily spend hours here with the all you can eat/drink brunch options.Special Features:
- R-HouseAugust1stDined on 7/31/2014R House seems to be trying too hard to fit into the Wynwood scene. The food was pretty good but did not blow my mind. The music was loud and the space a bit empty. This has the potential to be a fun bar with good food but just needs a bit of a following and bit more attention.Special Features:
- Great food and ambiencevickyVIPDined on 7/26/2014Very good service and the food was fresh with several options to order half portions in calorie conscious choices. This was great since I always take home left overs. The portion on the half size was adequate. Very nice fusion of flavors with the tuna with noodles dish Nice ambience in the areaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was just okMaidelDined on 7/25/2014While I was very excited to be celebrating my birthday at R House the whole experience fell flat.Reservations said we were celebrating a birthday. We got seated in a strange little corner and the seating was awful. I'm all for rustic cheek, but rocks as the back of a wooden bench? I mean really? To top it off it was like 90 degrees in the restaurant. I get it , opened kitchen, but honestly it's no excuse for the sweltering heat, if other restaurants with a similar set up are pulling it off from Chicago to Miami, R House can invest in some additional cooling. They brought out dessert so I could make a wish and as he placed it down the candle turned off. Our waiter noticed and didn't even bother to re-light it.
- Great find!VKayKDined on 7/25/2014I really enjoyed this Wynnwood neighborhood gem. Beautiful atmosphere and friendly service. Will be back for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food and servicelizelaVIPDined on 7/18/2014always seem to be very attentive and food is also good !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Brunch SpotRossBDiningDined on 7/13/2014I was happy with my overall experience at R House. The service was excellent, the servers continually checked up on us. I would definitely recommend the brunch special to anyone. Plenty of food to pick at, not to mention the bottomless brunch drink of your choice. The music was good and I enjoyed the ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't recommendPeterDined on 7/12/2014It is the second time that I go to R House. First one it was on the opening so it is expected to be a mess but now after a few months I tried again and still a mess. The waiter never ask what kind of water we wanted and just pour regular water on our glasses. After that, our drinks took very long but that it wasn't a issue because the bar was crowd. We order the plates, my it was the Grilled Ahi Tuna and my fiancée it was the special, the waiter never ask me how I would like the Tuna to be done and my plate it came first and took at least 20 min to my fiancée's plate to arrive. It will be very hard for me to go back.
- What a sceneIvetaVIPDined on 7/12/2014This was my second visit to R house and what a disappointment. The art and the restaurant is beautiful, but the service is more then poor. Even with reservation we waited for 20 min to be seated while host disappeared into kitchen a none seems to know why. The server was so flustered and disorganized, that he poured water into wine glasses and took him another 25 min and few reminders to get us drinks. Then only 1 drink was delivered. Don't ask me why. No cutlery on the table and we had to walk to the kitchen to get a steak knife. The best part was when chef ( ? owner? not sure ) kicked out some guests from the restaurant yelling across the entire place. What a scene! The food is always but without great service is just another place.Special Features:
- food and servicelizelaVIPDined on 7/12/2014food was nice and great variety specially with art walk going on !!!Special Features:
- Good beginning but poor endingZulyDined on 7/12/2014Atmosphere was great, sat outside, great band, great service. Food was good but disappointed with limited dessert menu(only 2 options) and no coffee only decafSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Happy hour rules!RubskiDined on 7/10/2014What a great deal! I came with a friend, had some drinks and the sweet pea falafel and the ratatouille. Great ambiance, and for the quality of the food a great deal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic spotguitaralicious9Dined on 7/1/2014I was pleasantly surprised by my dining experience at R House. The cocktails were excellent (I highly recommend the ginger martini and the cherry old-fashioned). To start, we had the duck confit spring rolls, braised short rib sliders, and sweet pea falafel. I enjoyed all three quite a bit, and the duck confit spring rolls were especially fantastic. I wish I could eat those every day for the rest of my life. Our mains were also excellent (seared ahi tuna with soba noodles, and the Brazilian moqueca stew). Service was friendly but a bit slow. Still, it was nice to be able to linger at the table and enjoy the food, so I did not mind. We will definitely come back here soon.Special Features:

- Good but too expensiveRamziVIPDined on 6/8/2014For a brunch (food and booze brunch) it's going to cost $52 + tax + 18% automatic gratuity. food is ok, quantities are very small. service is too slow, after we were seated we waited for 20 minutes before someone showed up at our table (we had to flag them). it was an "Ok" experience but there are better quality brunches out there with much more reasonable prices

Press Start
Oldschool gaming fanatics will love this series!
A total of 45 Gunchests were produced, but only one remains.
The Grim Reaper Show
Death finally gets his own show and a chance to speak his mind.
The Ness Beats Everything Collab
The premise:
Ness has become unstoppable and goes about destroying everyone in his path.
Congratulations to the authors who took part in this collab, and thank you for your time and dedication. This collab has been brought to you by Short Factor and these collab members. But I have a few things to say...
First of all, sorry the file size is so big, I tried my best to compress it.
Some parts are more skippy than others. The first scene is very graphic intensive for some reason, so please don't leave at first glance, most of the movie runs smoothly (the movie is 25 FPS).
I know there's no main menu, scene select, or authors' page, but my time and resources are somewhat limited right now. I had to finish this quickly, as I have much to deal with in life. Not to worry, I will put much more time and effort into my next collab, as by then I won't have so much else to deal with.
Also, I'm very sorry some of you didn't make it into the collab. Mercenary81, your part was way too slow and I couldn't fit it, and you never made a better one (that I know of).
And you are reading the credits right. Alvin Earthworm was very close to joining the collab, but he ended up being too busy.
Oh, and props to BlackDevilX for support, and making four segments for this collab.
If you ask me or BlackDevilX when our next movie is coming out or how to make Flash movies, I will ignore your review. Read my profile page first.
Also my usual animated logo is not in this, as I feel that would practically be taking all the credit.
Now I command you to ENJOY THE MOVIE!!
What song was playing?
At least you Didn't put sonic in so he can die phew
Because he didn't kill Ninten. I(if he did he wouldn't exist lol)
Nice collab on the best series in the world! (other than Pingu if you include TV)
Amazing. Ending: So, that is how Michael Jackson really died.
only thing I can say to descrive this:

This is a great set for the price. It REALLY brightens up the room but...I have pets and keeping it clean was far more of a hassle :( I don't like having to clean it so often but...it is nice! I had originally bought the comforter and thought this would keep from having to clean so much but...no go for me. I still love it but...cleaning it so much....pass.
From the picture, this set seemed bright and a little bohemian, but when I got it out, the pattern was just too busy for my taste. Everything else about it seemed fine, I just didn't like the pattern. It was not calm and relaxing. I ended up exchanging it for something more calming.

Mitt Romney Lavishes Praise On Israel's Socialist, Government Controlled Healthcare System
Mitt Romney seems to be laboring under the impression that whatever he says in a foreign country will—like a weekend in Las Vegas—somehow stay in that foreign country.
Either that or he figures nobody back home is paying any attention. Speaking today to a small group of Israeli contributors to his campaign, the GOP presidential candidate—and supposed sworn enemy of government controlled healthcare—had kind words for the success of Israel's healthcare system:
"When our health care costs are completely out of control. Do you realize what health care spending is as a percentage of the GDP in Israel? 8 percent. You spend 8 percent of GDP on health care. And you're a pretty healthy nation"
Does he listen to himself talk? Or does he just say words? I am 100% convinced his staff and advisers hate him or something. It's like An Idiot Abroad: When Mittens Attacks.
I mean, if he wants to campaign on socialized medicine, that's cool too… But I'm pretty sure he just figured what happens in Israel, stays in Israel. Except internets, Mitt. There's always the internet.

Alone? Darkness? Light? Feels About Right!"Beware the darkness in every heart, caused by suffering and
loneliness…" That is what the boy with spiked hair and blue eyes had said
when he had saved me, rushing in on a column of wind down the dark halls of the
foreboding mansion I had lived in for years. It had been a normal day for me, you know,
those days where you feel all alone, but with someone watching your every step, unsure of
who, but you knew they were there. Those days where you felt everything you did to help
wasn't good enough for anyone. Yeah, I'm sure you know that kind of day, my
life has been one continuous chain of those days from the start. Anyway, today was the
final day of senior year, everyone around me talking about the LAST dance, which with my
luck happened to be the Valentines Dance. Having come up with enough courage, and what
seemed like a good idea at the time, I decided to ask a girl to the dance, and sighed as
the cruel smile spread across her lips, a dark feeling sprea
Fire And IceWhen You Walk In The Room
You Set My Heart Ablaze
When We Touch It Creates A Steamy Haze
That Blocks My Vision With A Haunting
Feeling That This Is Just A Phase
I Should Tell You That I've Felt Like This For Days
As I Wander Through This Endless Maze
You Are The Ice That Calms My Mind And Slows The Fire
Keeping Me From Doing Something Out Of Desire
And Not Telling You How I Feel Is Costing A Price
As The Fire You Entice Inside That Feels Kind Of Nice
Will Soon Devour Me Alive Even Though I Am Still Brand New
So I Have To Ask, Do you Like Me Too
What Goes Up, Might Not Come DownThey say what goes up, Must come down,
But my feet cant seem to reach the ground,
Because when you walk in the room,
It spells my inpending doom,
As my heart does a Sonic Boom,
Leaving me high as i race across the stary sky,
And i can not lie,
Id rather die,
Than go on without you....
Yes, its true,
As my vision fades to blue,
Id rather die, then be without you....
A Man Reborn"Go."
Somewhere, Lysanna clawed at the shards of mirror, using the last of her strength to send the message. The words came to Tal'shen as needling pain, piercing her mind. "Forget them," her mother said. "Go now and do as I've created you to do!"
Tal'shen felt her mother die. It did not matter. There was no feeling of attachment; only the drive to carry out her purpose. Growing still, her monstrous form filled the room. She shot two massive tentacles upwards, rending a large hole in the ceiling. Outside, she blinked in the fog. London, that was the name of this city, wasn't it? A good a place as any to begin.
Inside, Maya coughed back the bits of dust and plaster. "Paul," she breathed, wincing at the mass of flesh Tal'shen had left in her wake. She went to him, gasping at his flayed carcass, nothing more than quivering bits of meat and bone. She closed her eyes. One chance.
The scream reverberated through the room and Paul's memory. The thing that shared his body reeled back in surprise.
"You will die without my help!" It sneered.
Paul ignored the protests. He focused on the pain. The every present, burning pain. He screamed again, happy that he could feel himself more and more. He peered at Maya, who stared at him in wonderment.
"This has never Paul..You're changing back!" her hand holding the wicked knife lowered.
Paul felt relieved at this. He could hear Tal'Shen's screaming but it was becoming quieter as he focused on his body. He could feel the tentacles starting to push out of him of their own accord. He looked down and one dropped to the floor and lay there squirming. He took his hand and found another appendage. He pulled with all his might and another tentacle sprang free.
He stared at Maya with pleading in his eyes and she nodded. She ran over to his side and pulled on another tentacle. It came out easily and she worked frantically on t

Dream scape
An eternal night's
endless span
through the gates
of Morpheus
Crossing a bridge
over a lightless chasm.
Guarded by the spectral
visions of Aeschylus
They "Look at me
from the depths of the earth"
The lost and the forgotten,
retreating in to the darkness
The dread
of knowing, no waking
can save them,
or me.
We are Progeny"Breathe. . . " was the first word he had heard when the disjoint world came to a formless solitude, a blank existence. The voice was deep, inhuman but neutral, and though he would not trust it given the turn of events, he was grateful to have felt nothing rather then pain when he rose to his feet to see it; the source of the voice.
"Who are you?!" Paul demanded with mistrust. The figure mirrored his looks with the exception of it being a dark silhouette.
"We are Progeny; the outcome of how you choose to end this."
"How I should choose?!" He snapped, throwing an angered point of accusation. "You've done nothing but throw me in nightmares! What CHOICE do I have to look forward to?!"
"Symbiosis." It answered.
How could that be a choice?! But then again, Maya and Lysanna explained differently. Perhaps this one was different.
"We have seen the events; the wars of your kind. They are preserved in your DNA. The process of conquest will be of no variance for the assailants who proclaim peace
RebirthHe was here. But where was "here"? Who was "he"?
He stared.
What was he looking at? A mass of flesh twisted. Half of it was peach colored, stained scarlet. And the other half?
A monster.
Pulsating currents of gelatinous substance reflected a thousand colors, glowing eerily. Scales and thorns of grey curled like a ribcage, like a shield around itself. Its alien neon colors rippled with the thrashing of its tentacles. The other half was that. It did not feel like it was part of the sallow peach creature. That beast had an evil sort of grin to it. It was an uninvited stranger burning the house in which it stole into. It was a parasite. It was taking control of him.
And worse than that, it seemed to be winning.
Get a grip.
He was Paul. He had gotten puked on. That puke was killing him. He was infected by an alien that wanted to eat his face off and a stranger who named herself after an ancient civilization was hacking at him with a knife.
He wanted to say thank you
Deep Blue Eyes of DoomOUT, Paul screamed.
And just like that, Paul was out.
Out of body, out of mind, and out among the stars.
But the stars were replaced by endless streaks of light that came in an infinite rainbow of colors. But the longer he stared Paul began to hear the screams.
He was seeing the human race being replaced in a horrific display of severed skin, blood, and tentacles but still no explanation why.
Then he saw HER.
This thing looked like a corroded version of Maya with ash black hair, grey flesh with black veins pulsing venomously across the flesh, and eyes with a kind of blue that fit frozen corpses. It was convenient that it chose to look like Maya, because it was Maya who told Paul her name.
She nodded once, not showing any violent intent.
She only gave him words, but nothing pleasing to hear.
"So much fighting." Lysanna said. "Fighting for your supposed right to your own mind and for what freedom? You define freedom over blood, bullets, and mountains of bodies that spill both.
All or NothingALL OR NOTHING
Odyssey II - Chapter 7
Paul's scream is soundless, without vibration, boundless without borders. Heard by no one, reverberating through the psychic realm, a cascade of destruction. Both sisters battling within his very blood, phages using his cells as a playground and a battlefield tearing apart his very flesh.
"He has spirit after all. Welcome to our realm, Paul You will never leave this place." Tal'Shen voice is cold, diffident, indifferent.
"He only does what he must to survive Tal'Shen, you would mock him for that."
"His will means nothing, Maya. Our Mother must be served. The only question is how."
Maya binds more of Paul's unwilling flesh beneath her knife, attempting to wrest control of his body from Tal'Shen.
Tal'shen fights back, wrapping Maya's body in the tentacles on Paul's back, his flesh more liquid with every passing moment. "Will she be served by a simpering sycophant like you? Or a loyal daughter who sees the ends and the means at hand doing whatever is
Shifting PiecesLysanna was crumpled in a pathetic heap on the dirty floor with just enough strength to hold the two mirror shards in front of her shriveled face. She was about to die, at least this part of her. Her spawn, Tal'shen, was at the very moment being birthed into the realm of humans. There was only one thing left to do; she exhaled heavily onto the shards, fogging them over. As the moist remnants of Lysanna evaporated on the mirror, so did her husk of a body. She crossed over, through the mirror, until she found the rest of her; mother and child one at last.
The moment the symbiosis occurred, her strength, and drive, returned. Maya had been right, she wanted it all and her dynasty was about to begin. With one mighty push she seeped through every orifice in Paul's body, becoming fluid one moment and solid the next.
"Never!" Maya screamed as she swung her blade, only to find her arm ensnared in a sea of tentacles.
"Sister," Lysanna bellowed, "is that any way to welcome your queen?"
Lysanna st
To become somethingHe kept screaming, despite knowing it was a fruitless effort of clinging to life, to his humanity. Paul's mind was clouded by Tal'Shen's thoughts, leaving little room for his own. He fought back, rebelling against the parasite, but it was useless, for Tal'Shen was stronger.
He then realized survival was out of reach...
He oddly felt comforted by this thought. Accepting the fact that death was a better option than becoming an empty shell under the command of another, he released his mind from Tal'Shen, falling into oblivion...
If this was dying, he thought, it isn't bad.
The pain disappeared...memories returned. His name was Paul and somehow...he was alive. Where he was, he didn't know, but he had to be "somewhere" if he was aware of his existence. It was a surreal feeling...being nothing yet existing somewhere in the pressing darkness...
An orb appeared, its surface swirling with different colors. It pulsated feebly, its light weak.

January 05, 2001, 11:52 AM — IT'S THAT TIME of the year again, time to reveal some of the interesting, funny and downright stupid comments that issued from the mouths of the great, the good and the not-so-good in the IT industry during 2000.
It was a year in which the Internet dot-com bubble well and truly burst, Napster and peer-to-peer networking became household names, and technology lawsuits and viruses kept a-flying.
Waxing political
"I hope they can amend the (U.S.) constitution to let Bill Clinton run again... I'm very fond of Bill Clinton personally... the world's going to miss him. He's gifted, bright, charming and charismatic." -- Oracle chairman and chief executive officer Larry Ellison comes up with a solution to the stalled U.S. presidential election. (Nov. 14)
'Don't we get a recount too?" -- Hewlett-Packard chairman, CEO and president Carly Fiorina referring to unexpectedly poor fourth-quarter financial results in her Comdex keynote address with an allusion to the Florida recounts in the U.S. presidential election. (Nov. 14.)
Show me the money
"Clap if you are interested in personal wealth!" -- Pat Sueltz, president of Sun Microsystems' software products and platform division, telling developers at the JavaOne conference that Java equals money. This was before the dot-com market meltdown really hit home and Sun started preferring to be known as the 'o' in "old economy," not its tagline, "the dot in dot-com." (June 7.)
Hack my system, please
"[Microsoft] Reader has very strong encryption; we've been out [with the product for] three weeks, so far, so good. We aimed high -- I said I wanted one week [without being hacked] at least." -- Dick Brass, Microsoft's vice president of technology development. (Aug. 28.)
So, you can make up your mind?
"People ask me, 'Dale, why don't you change the name back to Borland?' But there's a lot of brand equity in Inprise, too. If I change the name again, it'll be, 'What, you can't make up your mind?'" -- Dale Fuller, at that time Inprise/Borland's interim CEO and president, on his company's name. Fuller then went on to have a change of heart in November when the software vendor once again changed its name ... back to Borland. (July 11.)
Who's been going through my garbage?

First Game
Everton vs Bristol Rovers (League Cup), 27th September 2000
Favourite Everton Moment
Probably when we was getting beat by WBA 0-2 with Big Dunc's last game and Vic narrowed it down to 1-2, but he got a pen. Big Dunc stepped up to take it, was saved and hit it right at the keeper through his legs. Just made a great last goal for the big man at the Gwladys street end. Also the end of the game with the lap of honor brought a tear to my eye when he was with his kids waving to Goodison Park as we all knew he wasn't getting a new contract.
Favourite All Time Player
Duncan Ferguson. Gotta be the big man himself. Throughout my childhood is he was a hero to me and still is. He had a tattoo of the club he loved, we loved him, just wish he was still a young verison now.
Favourite Current Player
Tim Howard. The amount of times hes helped Everton in games, he is our unsung hero and is amazing.
Favourite Manager
David Moyes. Haven't really seen many managers, but Moyes is the best succesful manager that I have seen with the blues.
Favourite Game
Everton 3 vs 0 Liverpool, 9th September 2006 Everton 1 vs 0 Arsenal, 18th March 2007 FC Nurnberg 0 vs 2 Everton, 8th November 2007 Everton 2 vs 0 Fiorentina, 12th March 2008
Favourite Goal

Former UFC light heavyweight titleholder Quinton "Rampage" Jackson made a name for himself in mixed martial arts competing in the Japanese-based Pride organization. When the UFC announced they would be returning to the "Land of the Rising Sun" for the first time in over a decade, he knew that he wanted to be on the card.
It wasn't that easy, though. It would take some behind the scenes negotiations and a little hardball, but Jackson got what he asked for and faces Ryan Bader in the co-main event at UFC 144 on Feb. 26.
"As soon as I found out the UFC was coming to Japan, I told Dana [White] 'hey, whether I win or lose my last fight, I want to fight in Japan.' So I've been very, very excited and waiting to come back here and fight in front of the Japanese audience," said Jackson during a press conference promoting the event.
"I had to fight to be on this card and complain and bitch to my manager. Now I think the representatives of the UFC upset with me a little bit, but ask me do I care," he added.
Jackson had some of his career defining moments in Japan, and returning there to fight has Rampage motivated.
More MMA
"I'm all about putting on an exciting fight in Japan. One thing I love about the Japanese fans, one reason I love them the most out of everybody is cause they don't care if you win or lose, all they care is if you have samurai spirit, you go in and have a good fight. That's why Japanese fans are my favorite and American fans are jealous that I say that all the time," he said.
"I just remember back when I was fighting here I just had so much energy and I wanted to put on a good show for all the fans cause of the energy they give," added the former champion.
Jackson misses competing in front of the large crowds in Japan and their appreciation for a good fight. He explains the differences between the two fight-fan cultures and how it might lead to him taking more chances for the sake of entertainment.
"Like in America, you're under so much pressure to win, winning at any cost, cause fans talk (expletive) to you if you lose. Even if it's a good, exciting fight. In Japan, it's just a different energy," said Jackson. "Who knows, maybe I'll take more chances and not care, cause it's all about the crowd. I react with the crowd and I don't care about people watching on TV. I rep for the crowd.
"I want to just put on a great show."

Rampage may have been good while in Pride over there, but now he's just too one dimensional…….. I won't be surprised when Ryan beats him.
Thats just stupid ! Rampage is 3x the fighter he was back then !
Theres no way Ryan beats him…
I hope Rampage wins and I totally agree with his view of the Japanese audience. It was better in Pride. Americans **** everything up with their egos and attitude. It does not matter if the UFC is taking over the world. It will never be what fighting is all about, which is pride, honor and a display of skills. For the UFC and Americans, is all about money and partying and the pageantry. Sad.
well said !
Are you ****ing kidding me…greatest country in the world! If you don't like it, get the **** out of here! Money, Partying, Pageantry? Obviously you've never been to Japan or know much about their modern culture cause it's all about those things over there, buddy! They're all about image!
Well first of all the US Senate just voted down their own habeas corpus (right to fair trial)last Tuesday and is busting at the seems with corruption after seeing that 16 Trillion dollar Fed Audit so I wouldn't go around saying that anymore..
As for Rampages sentiments, I would agree that the Japanese crowd is largely more educated in martial arts and shows a lot more respect for fighters. It's also a lot easier on the ears to actually hear the guys fight instead of people's drunken ADD booing all the time. I like Rampage and hope he does well

Our forests are a vital source of life to plants, animals and humans alike. Their trees do not merely provide a habitat for many species, but they also make the air clean and mitigate the effects of climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. Ensuring that the forests stay alive is therefore vital to any life on earth.
At the same time, wood has become an important source for many industrial products and ensuring its long-term supply is crucial to keep the economy going. Thus forestry activities have to be sustainable in the long run – they have to protect the woods' vital flora and fauna, while also providing socio-economic benefits to people depending on them.
"Environmental and economic issues are intertwined here: the forest industry is capital intensive and one of the key drivers for investments is the reliable long-term availability of wood," explains Mikko Venermo, Lead Oversight Adviser in the EBRD's Environment and Sustainability Deparment. "A continued wood supply, in turn, is at risk whenever there are unsustainable forestry practices or illegal logging. This can result in lower production, higher wood prices or transportation distances."
Wide range of clients: from forest owners to furniture manufacturers
The EBRD is actively involved in a wide variety of projects, which involve wood or related forestry products, and therefore has an active interest in promoting the sector's sustainability.
An investment in the Mondi Group, for example, contributed to more sustainable and efficient forestry activities in the company's leased forest areas and to increase reforestation of their lands. With several loans to wood panel producer Kronospan, the EBRD supported a foreign investor that is active in several central and eastern European countries and uses wood from sustainable sources for its operations.
"Sawmills, pulp and paper mills, plywood factories and the furniture industry are some of the Bank's clients in the forestry sector," explains the Juhani Numminen, Senior Adviser for Pulp, Paper and Forest Products Industries at the EBRD. "A few of them are forest owners and logging operators, but in general most of our clients are buying wood rather than logging themselves.
The EBRD is also increasingly investing in biomass energy projects using forest resources for fuel supply, Mr Venermo adds. "Naturally our sustainable forest management principles and requirements apply to these projects as well."
Ensuring the use of sustainable wood
No matter the exact nature of the activity, the EBRD requires its clients to adhere to rigorous standards to ensure that all wood used is of legal and sustainable origin. This includes, of course, that it does not originate from protected areas or forests with a high biodiversity value.
For companies directly involved in logging, this means that they have to ensure all forest areas are certified to internationally accepted standards of sustainable forest management and that their wood is harvested in a sustainable way.
Similarly stringent rules apply to clients who are relying on external suppliers. When procuring wood, they have to ensure that the material does not originate from protected forests, the origin of wood is monitored and their suppliers operate in accordance with the principles of sustainable forest management.
By implementing these requirements, the EBRD's clients are spreading sustainable forest management practices to local harvesting companies and helping create a market for certified wood from Bratislava to Vladivostok. This is an important contribution to the EBRD's transition impact in the forest industry and biomass energy projects.
"We are also promoting sustainable forestry very comprehensively in our policy dialogue with governments," Mr Venermo explains. "We are raising awareness of unsustainable practices, such as illegal logging, and helping them develop legal, enforcement and governance systems towards sustainable forest management."
If such systems do not exist, investors need to establish their own tracking and control systems to manage the business and reputational risks associated with illegal logging, Mr Venermo adds. "Needless to say that these measures come at a high cost to the companies and affect their competitiveness."
Good investment potential
Several EBRD studies have analysed in-depth the investment potential and constraints in the forestry sector. "They have helped to identify sustainable ways in which the logging volumes could be increased from the current level, while at the same time ensuring that appropriate forest areas are protected," Mr Numminen points out.
A recently published survey focused on how to attract forest industry investments to the three Russian regions of Vologda, Krasnoyarsk and Khabarovsk compared with competing investment destinations elsewhere on the planet. With approximately 800 million hectares of forest, Russia has access to nearly a quarter of the world's forest resources yet produces only 3.5 per cent of the world's forest products. Moreover, about 18 per cent of the country's workforce lives in communities depending on economics associated with the Russian forests.
The EBRD survey explores the use of existing best practices from within Russia and practices developed in countries competing with Russia for forestry investors. The study found that the three Russian regions hold certain advantages, such as the low cost of wood, compared with forest operations elsewhere.
However, the emergence of efficient and fast-growing forest plantations in South America and China is a new challenge to Russia. Due to climatic differences and lack of forest management trees grow six to ten times slower in Russia than in a plantation in Uruguay. This is why a forest logging area needs to be very large in Russia to support, for example, a new pulp mill. This problem can be addressed by facilitating infrastructure investments and several other measures, the survey suggested.
Eric Rasmussen, the EBRD's Director for Industry, Commerce and Agriculture in Russia, added that top players in the forest industry agree that Russia has good potential, but the risk and reward must have a better balance to realise investment. Among other investment-hungry countries, Brazil has established a very competent force, which is maintaining a dialogue with the top 10 forest industry players. The taskforce is determined to attract investors and empowered to discuss reforms and support needed for investment projects – an example which Russia may want to follow in the future.

We try to have more conversations closer to the actual customers that we're creating products for. Whether that means creating interactions or narratives, like we've done with "No Known Survivors," or just providing assets that show the game off — what we try to do is try to provide more access to the development team and create more stories that are a bit more developed and interesting rather than just telling people what the game is about, which I think is a more PR style marketing practice.
You want to give them things that are going to foster their anticipation a bit more, and those things have to be really honest with regards to what you're trying to accomplish creatively. And it's also less about tricking them or telling them that they want something, and it's more just saying, "Here. Here is the thing that we're trying to do." And then leaving it up to them to be judged on its creative merit by that audience, and hoping that it does resonate with them. That takes away a lot of the control that corporations or people have that are marketing these products or creating these products, but I think that at the end of the day it's a better barometer for quality and it's a more democratic way of getting people involved with you.
For EA to do a new intellectual property, especially one that was horror based, I think they realized that they needed to do stuff that was different so there was a bit more openness to new ideas rather than if this was something that was more traditionally marketable. Then we came up with just a really concept. We put a lot of time into coming up with the narrative that we wanted to build and we put a lot of thought behind it.
Once the studio team here saw what we wanted to do they got very excited because they had been bringing that same level of passion and depth already to the creation of the game. So I don't think we would have been able to have done this initially without them providing such depth — they provided almost 100 pages of back story to us to get an understanding of what this game and what this world was. And without that up front, which a lot of game teams don't provide, we wouldn't have been able to do anything.
I think it was more on the creative side, the studio side, that this project was really given its legs because of what they had already created in terms of a skeleton or structure for it. Then from there, we just injected our own excitement around what was going on and the fact that we were able to write and the fact that we were able to do something valuable. And then from there we prayed. Not literally, but in the end the organization said let's try this out.
At some points we had to reprove ourselves and recommit to it. But I think overall, because of the strength of the creative product that kept coming out of the teams that were working on it everybody kept feeling good about it. And now we're launched and it's rolling forward, and we have some great feedback and some great examples of why this is already, in my mind successful.
In the situation of Dead Space, we did it preemptively, before the IP even launched because we really wanted to give people something really substantial before it launched. I think that it more helps people that are already highly anticipating it, or might get some more people involved, but I don't think there's any real possibility of it hindering people's experiences. I do think the only disadvantage that the people would have is that they don't have as much an idea of the world. But I do think that maybe once people play Dead Space and they're exciting about it, they'll search the web and find that, "wow this is here for me too," or "wow, I can read the comic books or watch the animated feature."
I think there's a big tradition of American horror movies that are more relevant to people than the Japanese horror movies and yet the games, the Japanese horror games, are the ones that have been dominating the market for the last 10 years. Now I think it's great that we have a more American version of that with Dead Space, and I think that's been validated by the community by and large, but once they get a chance to play it they'll get to make their final comments on it.

The Jacksonville Jaguars continued to lock up some of their free agents by re-signing quarterback Chad Henne to a two-year deal on Friday.
This move wasn't a surprise to most, and it certainly does not prohibit the Jaguars from taking a quarterback with the 3rd overall pick. While some might see the Henne signing as an indication David Caldwell is looking for a quarterback later in the draft, I think that's quite a leap. Henne is ideally a backup and clearly not this team's starter going into the next several years. He really got signed to act as a stable veteran presence who knows the offense and can come in and win a game or two if need be.
There is absolutely no sane logic in thinking that signing Chad Henne – a guy who has thrown for more interceptions than touchdowns and has a career completion percentage under 60% – means the Jaguars won't draft a franchise quarterback at 3rd overall. This is just a team signing a backup quarterback.
The person who should be most worried is Blaine Gabbert. Henne's signing probably signals the end of the Gabbert "era" in Jacksonville. The Jaguars likely won't be taking 3 quarterbacks on the active roster, especially not a guy like Gabbert who absolutely should not see the field.

How To Make A Trial Version Of Software
I want to make a kind of 10 day trial of some software I am writing but have thought about the following:
Either I can permanently disable the main functionality so they can get a feel to what the program will do (but can someone hack into a .exe and amend)?
I can install the program and store the installation date and then wait for installation date + 10 days, but if the user keeps amending the system date,it will never expire.
I can install the program again, and store the install date and keep storing the date the program is accessed and when I get 10 unique dates, stop working.
Or I can just limit the usage of the program to 100 uses, incrementing each time the user enters, problem with this, it can expire after 1 day if he goes in 100 times.
Any thoughts appreciated.

TV Tuner IR
Hello, does anybody know how i can go about 'catching' the signal sent to the IR reciever on my TV Tuner card? The software that comes with the tv tuner is not too bad, but it has an annoying thing where it makes the current window lose focus, so when typing in msn say and i use the remote to change the tv or radio channel (the application can be hidden away) it makes the msn window lose focus so i am trying to find a way to make an app to do the same job. I would also like it to display the current channel your entering say when listening to the radio.

Tv Tuner In VB
I'm trying to get the code that MS wrote for a Tv Tuner application to work. I created an msvidtl object on a form, and used this code provided from MS:
Dim objTSContainer As New SystemTuningSpaces
Dim objTuneRequest As IChannelTuneRequest
Set objTuneRequest = objTSContainer("Cable").CreateTuneRequest
objTuneRequest.Channel = 3
'VidControl is the MSVidCtl Object in my app's main Form
VidControl.View objTuneRequest
In my MSVidCtl object window, I get a pink still image screen with a few odd lines in it. I tried this code on 2 computers with different ati tv tuners in them. The latest model of the two I have is the ati 9700 all in wonder(so it should work). Does anyone know how to get this code to work? or have any suggestions for other routes to do this?

Incorperating Video From A Tuner Card Into Vb

Change Channel With TV Tuner Card
I really hope someone can help me with this because it's been driving me crazy trying to find an answer anywhere on the 'net...
I'm writing an application that captures video from a TV card. The capture part isn't the problem -- I've found plenty of code snippets and examples for that. The problem is: how does one change the channel that the TV card is tuned to? I need to be able to tune the card through code since my application involves, among other things, scheduling events that automatically record video from a particular channel.
As I understand it, the DirectX SDK supports (somewhere) tuning a TV card but only in VC++. So, are there any normal API calls (i.e. for VfW instead of WDM) or can anyone help me out with a small VC++ wrapper to change the tuner's channel?
Many thanks in advance,
Capturing Video From A TV Tuner Card

WinFast 2000 Tv Tuner Takeover!
I know this one is a long shot, but I just have to ask in case someone here has some bright ideas.
I have a leadtek winfast2000 deluxe Tv tuner card. The card comes with a remote control and a small IR reciever that plugs into the back of the TV card via what looks like a headphones type jack.
Now I've seen that the supplied remote only works when a certain supplied app is running. Obviously this app, reads the incoming signals from the port and performs the required action.
I really want to reprogram the remote control - now I've gone through the dll's that are installed by the leadtek software by adding them as references in VB, but none of them expose anything, so no luck there.
Does anyone know a way I can hijack this port and read what's being sent in by the remote control??
Windows XP Analog Tuner Program Zip File
Here is a simple analog tuner program that I wrote for Windows XP Pro or Home only based off of Microsoft.
If anyone would like to test the program I would greatly appreciate the help. I set the program up to view channels 2 thru 60 on an analog cable feed. Sorry for the programs limitations I am just starting out.
Everything works picture feed and closed captioning. However, my video is upside down. I am wondering if it is just my tuner capture card. I am using an ATI TV Wonder.
I would really appreciate your responses back on the video issue.
Program requires:
Windows xp pro or home
Tuner Card
and analog cable/antenna Feed.
Here is the exe file.
That should be it.
Hope it works for you.

[MsVidCtl & MS Tuner Library] Problem Tuning Analog TV Through Cable
I'm trying to add TV support to a program, and correctly added analog antenna support so far, however I'm having problems trying to add support to analog cable: some programs get recognised twice on contiguos channels, plus they aren't found on the same order nor channel numbers the program that came with the hardware displays. Also, the program uses just a max channel number of 108 and I'm forced to use more than 210 channels in order to find all of them.
As far as I know doing this should be the same way as adding analog antenna, but just setting the InputType property of the AnalogTVTuningSpace instance to TunerInputCable, but it isn't working as expected. I'm on a PAL-B region.

Struggling To Make First Object - Make Class Property = To Combo Box On Form
I have an attachment that I would like someone to take a look at.
If you extract to C: it should create a folder named TEST with the Visual Basic code and a .mdb database.
Basically I've created a Class1 module and would like to make its Name property equal to whatever the Combo1's text comes up as (combo box) on Form1. At the end of the Form Load, it has a message box but it comes up blank. I'm pretty sure that I've got my Property Get sub commands correct in the class.
Depending on the default user initials that come up (gvntUser) then there are certain options allowed based on their profile. Some would be in a read-only category and only certain command buttons would be visible. An example of this is in the Class1 class. Class1.ReadOnly would store the property of true or false.
This of course is first of all based on the initial collection of pulling from orderentry.mdb database and then basing it on the Form1.Combo1.Text field as the Key. But I perceive something is not allowing this to happen as the Form is loaded...
This is just a test program that I'm learning through
On my real program, I have numerous combo boxes - some for salespeople, and some for types of orders.
Any suggestions is much appreciated. Thanks in advance for all of your replies.

How To Make Clicking Anywhere Make A List Invisible
I'm writing a program with a lot of frame objects, text boxes, button, and all sorts of gizmos, all available to the user at any time.
One funciton that I'm trying to implement is a menu system that pops up when the user clicks a button (much like the start menu in windows, but with different items in them). I have it implemented using a set of listboxes that appear/disappear when different elements on the menu are selected, and that's working great.
The problem that I am having, is that I want the menu to disapear if the user clicks anywhere on the screen other than on the list box (that I'm using for menus). I've tried the form_click event, but that doesn't work if there's frames/text boxes/etc on the form on top of the backround. For some reason the lostfocus event doesn't always trigger when I click off of the list box (onto the form, or other frame object or whatever), although it does work when clicking into a text box or something.
Anyway, I've been plugging at this for a long time. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Ferns and horsetail-like plants once grew as tall as trees, and among the creatures that walked the planet were some that had just begun to utilize agriculture*
*It used to be a living world*
*Now, as Thor and Sif set down on the surface, it is dead. It looks as though something touched it and from that single point a withering sickness grew* *everything died*
*A troubled look crosses's Thor's face as he looks out upon the dead landscape, the rot of plant life heavy in the air*
This is the third world we have found in such a state. *he toes at a fallen horsetail as thick as his forearm* This sickness is spreading.
