"Time travel is impossible sweetie." That's what everyone used to tell my - my mom, dad, Uncle Philip, Aunt Janine, even my younger cousins. Even though it didn't seem logical - or possible for that matter - I was convinced that I could find a way to turn back the clock...or turn it forward. I was only six years old at back then - it was the age when Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, and just about everything else seemed believable.
Whenever people would ask me why I wanted to travel through time - which they did, all the time - I'd respond without a definitive answer.
"I have my reasons," I'd say, smiling, with that little hint of mystery in my voice.
"And what reasons are those?" Mom would ask gently, wanting to know, yet clearly not wanting to burst my bubble of innocence. She'd bend down with her hands on her knees, looking sweetly into my eyes.
"Reasons I'm not going to tell," I'd respond with a defiant grin, never letting Mom, or anyone else, in on my secret desires.
The truth was...

New Troy by Sylvia Federico
Book DescriptionExamines the political and literary uses of the Trojan legend in the medieval period. England in the late fourteenth century witnessed a large-scale social revolt, a lingering and seemingly hopeless war with France, and fierce factional conflicts in royal politics and London civic government--struggles in which all parties sought to justify their actions by claiming historical precedent. How the Trojan legend figured in these claims--and in competing assertions of authorial legitimacy, nationhood, and rule in the later Middle Ages--is the complex nexus of history, myth, literature, and identity that Sylvia Federico explores in this ambitious book. During the late medieval period, many European political and social groups took great pains to associate themselves with the ancient city; the claim on Troy, Federico asserts, was crucial to nationhood and was always a political act. Her book examines the poetry and prose of several late medieval authors, focusing particularly in how Chaucer's use of the Trojan legend helped to set the terms by which the Ricardian and Lancastrian periods were distinguished, and further helped to establish English literary history as a noble precedent in its own right. Federico's book affords remarkable insight into the workings of the medieval historical imagination.

The first month of the college hoops season has already had enough defining moments to warrant the Luther Vandross treatment.
There was the poignant high of Coach K surpassing his mentor Bob Knight as the all-time leader in NCAA D-I coaching wins; the gut-wrenching (and ongoing) low of Syracuse assistant Bernie Fine throwing his program into scandal; the inspiring comeback stories of Arizona forward Kevin Parrom and Kansas forward Thomas Robinson; made-for-March upsets like UNLV over North Carolina, Presbyterian over Cincinnati, and Central Florida over UConn; and big-time matchups like Ohio State vs. Duke, Kentucky vs. Kansas, and Syracuse vs. Florida that were dipped in Tournament atmosphere.
This past weekend, though, gave us the most thrilling game, the highest display of talent, and the most grand exhibition of the best of college basketball, all wrapped in one 40-minute showcase in Lexington, Ky. Here is that game, plus the rest of the best and worst of the weekend:
4 Games I Wish You Watched
Kentucky 73, North Carolina 72 – Enough future pros to fill a Green Room, two coaches headed for the Hall of Fame, and two programs with enough tradition for a couple of museums. The Wildcats withstood hot outside shooting by the Tar Heels in the first half and took control after tightening its defensive screws in the second half. With under a minute to go, UNC's Reggie Bullock caught a gorgeous cross-court pass from PG Kendall Marshall (quickly becoming my favorite player in the country) and buried a corner three to cut UK's lead to one. Marquis Teague was fouled on the other end, and missed the front end of a one-and-one. Carolina ball for one last chance, and while 6-10 forward John Henson (10 pts, 8 rebs, 3 blks) had a good look at a short jumper, he was in the neighborhood of the only man on the court who could have blocked one of his high-release shots: Kentucky freshman Anthony Davis (7 pts, 9 rebs, 2 blks). The 6-10 Davis skied in front of Henson and swatted the ball with his fingertips, and I think Clark Kellogg still hasn't stopped talking about UNC's players neglecting to foul Teague as the clock ran out.
Syracuse 72, Florida 68 – The most embattled head coach on the planet right now, Jim Boeheim, helped orchestrate a win that old-school coaches worldwide could appreciate. When the most explosive offense in the country (Florida) ran into the most stifling defense in the country (Syracuse), it was Boeheim's defense-first squad that came out on top. Florida's Kenny Boynton (22 pts) hit a couple shots from the Carrier Dome parking lot, but he didn't have enough to overcome the Orange 2-3 zone, as well as strong performances from Syracuse's underrated backcourt of Scoop Jardine (16 pts, 7 asts, 4 stls) and Brandon Triche (20 pts).
Louisville 62, Vanderbilt 60 (OT) – The Commodores went on the road and had Louisville on the ropes for about 39:55, but couldn't deliver the knockout punch. With five seconds left and overtime looming, Cardinals PG Peyton Siva – who had already made three or four shots borrowed from D-Wade's bag of tricks – got into the lane again but passed to freshman PF Chane Behanan. Smart move in theory, as Behanan (14 pts, 10 rebs) has been one of the most effective close-range finishers I've seen in college this year, but this time the frosh missed. In overtime, Siva was back in the same spot: Score tied with about five seconds left, ball in his hands. Siva took it himself and scored the game-winner on a finger roll.
Weber State 91, San Jose State 89 (2OT) – Coaches always point out the best player on the other team and tell their guys, "Don't let him be the one to beat us." George Nessman's Spartans either missed the message or were just helpless in trying to execute it. Weber State boasts the nation's No. 1 scorer in junior guard Damian Lillard (28.2 ppg), the Big Sky Conference MVP two years ago who missed almost all of last season with a foot injury. Lillard went off for 41 points (13-21 FG, 9-10 FT) against San Jose State, including the and-one layup with 10 seconds left in the second overtime that proved to be the game-winner. Lillard also hit a three-pointer with five seconds left in regulation that forced the first extra frame.
4 Future Pros You Know
Tim Hardaway Jr., SG, Michigan – His team wears blue and yellow, he wears No. 10, and his name is Tim Hardaway. Other than that, Junior really has nothing in common with his famous father on the court. Where the original NBA All-Star Tim Hardaway was a compact playmaking point guard who famously broke down defenders with his crossover, Tim Jr. is a long and lanky scorer at 6-5 who excels more in catch-and-shoot and transition situations. But the kid can ball. Hardaway had 19 points and six rebounds to lead the Wolverines past Iowa State.
Anthony Davis, PF, Kentucky – Nobody will remember that Davis posted a modest seven points, nine boards, two steals and two blocks against North Carolina. To be honest, no one player dominated a game that featured at least 10 future pros. But Davis jumped to the top of most NBA Draft boards with his game-saving block in the final seconds. That play not only displayed Davis' length, instincts, athleticism and defensive prowess, but also his sense of the big moment. It was a star-making play in a star-making game.
Thomas Robinson, PF, Kansas – I'm not saying a player shouldn't dunk the ball 100 percent of the time if that's what the defense is giving him. You're supposed to take the high-percentage shot, and as much as some stick-up-their-ass pundits act like dunking is all about showboating, a dunk is the most efficient way to score. But at the same time, I still can't tell if Robinson – who had 14 points, eight rebounds and four steals against South Florida – has an offensive game beyond his dunks. I did, however, say the same thing about J.J. Hickson after watching him in high school and at NC State, and he's done pretty well for himself in the league.
Ashton Gibbs, PG, Pittsburgh – NBA shooting coaches aren't exactly like NFL quarterback coaches, so hopefully nobody at the next level tries to "fix" Gibbs' unorthodox form before they see what he can do with it. Gibbs put up 16 points, five boards, six assists and three steals to help Pitt beat Tennessee, and is shooting 42 percent beyond the arc this season.
4 Future Pros You May Not Know
Durand Scott, PG/SG, Miami – In today's NBA, a guard's ability to get to the free-throw line is probably more important than his ability to hit a mid-range jumper or defend his man one-on-one. Scott, a 6-4 junior who played with Kemba Walker in high school, makes about 80 percent of his shots from the stripe and spends a lot of time there. In a win over Boston College, Scott had 16 points, six rebounds and six assists, with all of his points coming at the free-throw line. He went 0-for-6 from the field and 16-for-18 at the line.
Hollis Thompson, SF, Georgetown – After hitting a deep three with 1.8 seconds left to beat Alabama earlier in the week, Thompson dropped six more treys as the Hoyas had a much easier time with N.J.I.T. "Hollywood" is a smooth scorer at 6-8 who is averaging 15.0 points per game on 56 percent shooting from the field in his first year as Georgetown's top offensive option.
Meyers Leonard, C, Illinois – You could have watched the Big Ten Network religiously last season and still missed Leonard. The 7-footer played less than 10 minutes per game as a freshman and averaged two points a night, yet he was still named to USA Basketball's U19 squad for the World Championships. After playing well against the international competition, this season Leonard is putting up 13.4 points, 6.6 boards and 2.9 blocks for the Fighting Illini (8-0), including a 21-point, six-rebound effort against Gonzaga.
Will Barton, SG, Memphis – From a distance, Memphis games look like a fast-moving gaggle of arms and legs and headbands and dunks and layups and threes. But if you look closely, you'll notice Barton is the one guy finishing more plays than the rest. The 6-6 sophomore posted 22 points, 13 rebounds and six assists against Austin Peay, and for the seasons leads the Tigers in scoring (18.2 ppg) and rebounding (7.0 rpg).

Making of Victorian Drama by Anthony Jenkins
Book DescriptionIn this book Anthony Jenkins examines seven Victorian playwrights who, despite their own ideals and prejudices and the theatre's conservatism, tried to come to terms with such momentous subjects as womanliness, honour and money. The opening chapter briefly describes the social transformation of theatre during the century and the increasing respectability of actors and playhouses. Subsequent chapters deal with the drama of Edward Bulwer, Tom Robertson, W. S. Gilbert, H. A. Jones, Arthur Pinero, Oscar Wilde and Bernard Shaw. Each of these dramatists sought to create a theatre of ideas according to his own vision of art and society. The plays are examined within the social and political context of the Reform Bill, the Revolution of 1848, the Great Exhibition, royal patronage, censorship and copyright, and, above all, the 'Woman Question'. Jenkins combines politics and theatrical history with literary criticism to shed provocative light on the struggle to relate the London theatre to the realities of Victorian England.

Cottage near Ourique Southern Alentejo Tranquillity,stunning views, private cottage and pool.
Casa Sossagado is a charming private cottage with its own totally private pool and stunning views across the garden to the lake and countryside beyond. It is within our 23 acre garden which you are free to roam. Our house is not visible from the privacy of the cottage. For cooler winter nights snuggle up by the log burning stove. There are many books, games, CD's, English and Portugese TV and CD player. There is a pay as you go internet facility if you really can't get away from it aĺl!
The property complies with the requirements of the Alojamento Local licence.Registration number 6165.
The wider garden is a conservation area providing traditional natural habitat for the regions birds and animals. You have complete freedom there climbing the natural paths (you'll need proper shoes or trainers for your own comfort). Go to the trig point on the garden's boundary - the highest point for miles There are seats around so rest a while and take in the magnificent views or if you prefer try a gentle walk around the lake. Watch the swallows swòoping down to feed. Fish if you like! The fishing is good with excellent carp and wide mouthed bass.
Spring brings carpets of wild flowers and the nights bright starry skies unspoilt by light pollution. Look out for the stunning milky way and shooting stars. Not to mention the sunrise over our lake and often quite amazing sunsets. Turn left out of the gates and explore the many paths through the forest and beyond.
This is a rural paradise yet within approx 10 mins by car you access a good supermarket next to a pizza/pasta cafe, medical / dental facilities, pharmacy, petrol station and other shops. Five mins further on brings you into Ourique with cafe bars, banks, restaurants, optician, garage and shops. There is a good view point near to the local Camera i.e Town Hall, with excellent views of the whole area. Roads to the Algarve or the west coast if you fancy a change are good and generally quiet. It is about one hour by car to either without rushing.
The area is a bird watchers haven with over 25 different species in and around the garden dependant upon season including the booted eagle, crested lark, oriel, hoopoe, jay, montagues harrier, woodchat shrike and the regions very own azure winged magpie.
We can sort out your washing if you wish. The cottage is very well equipped but just ask if you need anything -- you'll find us if you want us but never intrusive. It is your private holiday - ENJOY YOURSELVES!!

"The beautiful cottage is spacious, very well equipped and looked after with the clean pool privately situated. The owner is very friendly and spares no effort to make his guests feel comfortable. Although sparsely populated, you can reach everything by car. There are some idylic little towns to visit, the Algave coast is easy and fast to reach. The nearby supermarket is well-assorted and you can buy very good regional food, there are also some good restaurants offering Alentejo specialities." From Bettina and Thorsten Sielk, September 2010
The peace and tranquility were brilliant. We saw 29 species of birds from the house on one day. The cottage has a cosy kitchen, dining room, lounge and 2 pleasant bedrooms, one being on-suite. There is a good sized patio area which has a charcoal BBQ. We had use of an outdoor pool and over 20 acres to wander around, including a small lake. If you want peace and quiet then this Casa could be for you. Anne and Alan Miller September 2013

You won't want to leave
Vicky and Mike have created an tranquil ecological paradise outside of Ourique. They are wonderful hosts: charming, generous and helpful, just who you wish you had as neighbors at home. The cottage is clean, very generously equipped, and more than big enough for two adults and two teenagers. It even comes supplied with plenty to eat and drink upon arrival! The location is great for excursions, but don't plan on too many. You will want to watch sunrises and sunsets, take long morning and evening walks through the area, and go for an afternoon swim in your own private pool. Be sure not to miss the spectacular night sky!
April Visit 2016
What a wonderful surprise when we stepped out of our car at the 'cottage' near Ourique, 360 degrees of stunning views and a great welcome from Mike & Vicky. We felt so relaxed in the very comfortable, well equipped cottage and extensive grounds with a lake and pool. Mike & Vicky were only too pleased (but never intrusive) to give us ideas for visits to interesting places locally, point us in the right direction for eating places or easy routes to the coast. There's much wildlife and birdwatching to be had here in the grounds and throughout the surrounding area.
Really looking forward to another visit.
The perfect tranquil getaway.
What a truly wonderful way to spend 10 days in Portugal. We wanted to mark my 60th in peace and a bit of warmth. The cottage, a fully equipped home from home, is set in wonderful country side. Even though our Sat Nav was able to get us ten metres from the door, Mike met us in Ourique to guide us there. The last 2 km, on unsurfaced road, reinforced the air of remoteness (once the dust settled). On entering the charming cottage we were welcomed by spacious, clean & comfortable accommodation, as well as complementary bread, butter, milk, tea, coffee, fruit & home grown vegetables. On! & some beer.
Then it happened. The sun rose over the lake. The breeze rustled through the Eucalyptus Forrest. While the rabbits & birds scurried through the early morning mist. The beautiful gardens & pool area are bordered by sympathetically managed wild grass & scrub land.
We could have spent the whole time in these beautiful surroundings but we had to pop into the local market to get essential supplies. Wine & beer.
Mike & Vicky, along with their pet cats & dogs (cast of Fawty Towers) were the perfect hosts, offering help & advise but never intrusive.
We came home with many happy memories & a determination to return.
Perfect piece of peaceful, pretty Portugal
We enjoyed every minute of our stay at this property which boasts some of the best views around. The property has far reaching views being situated on a natural high point over eucalyptus trees and the Serra de Monchique mountain range. We had wonderful weather and spent our days doing exactly what you should do on holiday: relaxing by the pool with cold drinks in hand! There are several nearby restaurants (we particularly liked Villa Italia in Castro Verde and Castro da Cola) and an excellent supermarket within 10 minutes drive. The property is equipped with everything you need, is kept very clean and Mike and Vicky were the perfect hosts. The stars at night are simply outstanding as there is no light pollution; I so wish I knew my constellations better! I cannot recommend this property and this part of Portugal enough for a relaxing, away from it all holiday. Thanks to Mike and Vicky and of course Polly, Manuel, Basil and Sybil (their dogs and cats who our children simply adored).
It would take a far better writer than me to convey what this little plot of paradise has to offer.
We booked this place for 2 weeks based on its setting and its excellent reviews. I'm always a natural sceptic when it comes to website reviews, but I have to say in this case, whilst they were all 5 star none of them seem to do the place justice. Mike and Vicky are excellent hosts, there when you want them and not there when you don't. The Cottage itself is extremely well equipped and very comfortable in all aspects, a real home from home. The pool area is a real suntrap and with it overlooking the Eucalyptus forests with all its abundant wildlife could not be positioned any better. The rest of the extensive grounds are equally as lovely. Perfect for just sitting, cold beer in hand overlooking the beautiful lake and its surroundings with only birdsong for company.
The cottage provides an excellent base for touring this beautiful region. The beaches to the west are spectacular and very quiet. The charming little town of Ourique has several good restaurants, all of which sell the local delicacy of Black Pig Pork. This has to be tasted to be believed!!! The local supermarket is superb offering excellent quality produce at very good prices. Local wine is both cheap and as I know to my cost, very drinkable! There are so many other places and things to do I could tell you about but I advise you to visit and find these for yourself, you wont be disappointed.
As far as we are concerned this cottage is the perfect relaxing holiday. However, beware! If you want high rise blocks, English Pubs, Indian take-aways and vastly inflated prices then I suggest the Algarve. If, like us you want to see the real Portugal in total tranquillity then I could not recommend this Cottage highly enough. The only downside is having to leave this wonderful place.
Thank you Mike and Vicky for a truly amazing holiday, can't wait to come back...
Bill & penny.
For countryside lovers
Dear Vicky and Mike,
We had a wonderful week. The cottage is great as well as the pool area. The rest of the property is fantastic too.
Perfect for walks, birdwatching or just sunbathing...
Last but not least, thank you for being so helpful to us. It was really nice to meet you.
Activity and Interests
The beaches in the Algarve are approximately 50 minutes by car, as are the often less busy beaches and coves on the West coast, traditionally favoured by the locals.
Nearest airport is Faro being 95km away. A hire car is essential.
Closest town is Ourique about 10 minutes by car. The main closest towns are Beja which is 60km north of Ourique or Albufeira which is approx 65km south and is the closest Algarve town.
If you feel like driving further, Evora is situated approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes away, but is well the worth the travel, being one of the major historic towns of Portugal. From Ourique you can also catch a coach direct to Lisbon if you would like a day out.
Further Details:
Ourique has 3 banks, 2 main supermarkets, and a health centre, and several restaurants serving traditional food.

Zaha Hadid's early work played a huge role in my development as a designer. She was one of the best to ever do it. This is one of her paintings from 1982. What a gift.
"Zaha's drawings were never pure representation or simple formal research, but necessary tools for design production. Early drawings were a means of altering and modifying the plan, leading to the disappearance of difference between 2D and 3D.
In an interview, Hadid describes that she was attempting to appropriate the moving quality of elemental forms in Malevichs' paintings in order to inject the idea of motion and energy in architecture, and thus free the plan from its static role."

Zaha Hadid is not only the most distinct, successful and influential architect of her generation, she is also among the most intellectual.
Her works are often described as fluid, curvilinear and organic, featuring unique lines and shapes and oblique inspirations.

A proportion of dominantly inherited ALS arises from mutation in superoxide dismutase (SOD1). Accumulation of misfolded SOD1 is widely recognized as a component of this toxicity, especially its aggregation onto mitochondria within spinal cord. How mitochondrial composition is affected by mutant SOD1 will be determined using quantitative SILAM mass spectrometry. The mechanism(s) through which ALS-linked mutations aggregate and damage mitochondria only in affected tissues will be also be determined, focusing on our discovery of a chaperone that can block misfolded SOD1 accumulation in non-neuronal cells. Combining 1) Barres'discovery of a role for complement in synaptic pruning and 2) our discovery that components of the complement cascade are induced in motor neurons early in SOD1 mutant-mediated disease, gene disruption will now be used to test the role in disease pathogenesis of complement induction within motor neurons. We previously demonstrated that toxicity from SOD1 mutants is non-cell autonomous, with damage within motor neurons driving disease onset and damage within neighboring glial cells (both astrocytes and microglia) driving rapid disease progression. The contribution(s) of mutant SOD1 toxicity within additional cell types, especially oligodendrocytes and their precursors will be tested by deletion of the mutant encoding transgene using cell type specific expression of Cre recombinase. Mechanistically, how mutant SOD1 damages motor neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes will be identified by high throughput sequencing of polysomal mRNAs recovered by ribosomal affinity tagging. This question is of especially high interest for astrocytes, which are known to generate one or more toxicities from their synthesis of ALS causing mutants in SOD1.
Beginning with the discoveries of three genetic causes of the fatal motor neuron disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), this effort seeks to uncover how mutation in these genes triggers the premature death of motor neurons that is the salient feature of this paralytic disease. Key questions to be tackled (whose solution may be central to devising successful therapies for ALS) will be determining the intracellular cascade of damaging events that the mutant proteins provoke and identifying which cell types are damaged by the disease causing mutants.

Today, Apple unveiled three new products: the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and the Apple Watch, Cupertino's first (and long rumored) foray into the wearables category. We asked three top industrial designers their thoughts about the new products: Gadi Amit, of New Deal Design, which designed the Fitbit and Lytro; Brett Lovelady of Astro Studios, which did the Nike Fuelband and Xbox 360; and Dana Krieger formerly with Teague, now with the Minus 8 watch brand. Here's what they had to tell us.
How do you think the design of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus compares with previous models?
Lovelady: Compared to the iPhone 5s, the regular and super-sized version of the iPhone 6 seem solid and reflective of their next-gen smartphone status. I think for content-hungry consumers, Apple has fed us a range of improved utilities and features in the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. The curved glass edge and material flow of the top surface seem to invite you to touch it; it has a slimming effect overall. The controls migration also seems like an improvement, which will likely need some time to prove itself, but seems smart. And the back side also attracts attention, with those exaggerated gaps on the top and bottom giving the product a sliming, athletic effect: it seems custom-designed for fashionable, color-blocked combos in the future.
Krieger: The new iPhones are a natural evolution of the previous models. At this point Apple's design language doesn't offer any surprises. The design is always super neutral and the execution is exceptional. The standout elements all lie in how Apple has responded to features established by other devices—primarily larger screens and NFC (near field communication).
iOS's user interface has been enhanced to deal with larger iPhone screens. What do you think of this implementation?
Lovelady: It seems necessary. It's a nod to the way content has continued to migrate from laptops and tablets to the hand, and also brings the iPhone 6 up to date with the competition. It's also a nod to the need to continuously improve all user interactions, as well as the delivery of iOS's visual content, for a diverse and aging demographic of users. We'll see how things play out over time, though; the proof will ultimately be through rigorous use.
Krieger: It is really hard to comment on this without using one, but having experience with Samsung devices at this screen size, it makes sense to treat a larger screen as its own interaction model, and custom tailor a UI to suit.
What do you think of the design of the Apple Watch?
Amit: Very well-executed. It's a very Apple-esque design. Beautiful, harmonious and amazingly crafted—yet, unfortunately, quite expected and even plain? Given the Marc Newson news [industrial designer Marc Newson has joined Apple's design team], it looks very familiar, even too similar to the Ikepod watches he designed years ago.
The big question is will a well-designed Apple Watch be enough to make it a fashion icon? And I think the answer is probably not. The Apple Watch lacks a certain overt, distinct character that would allow it to rise above the constraints of the already saturated smartwatch category. Compared with both the Motorola and Asus watches just introduced, the Apple Watch is not a clear winner. Without actually using it, though, Apple's UI seems like it might be superior. Time will tell.
Bottom line? For me, the Apple Watch is, quite surprisingly, just not exciting enough.
Lovelady: The details and controls are very clever. There's an amazing commitment here to blending both fashion and tech elements into one device.
Sure, it's an iPhone for your wrist, but Apple still has ways to find our individual identities through a range of colors, materials, and finishes in the band and housing. If you want people to wear something, then they need options to express their social personas, especially over time.
I know there was a small army of creatives and developers involved in this design, but the Apple Watch has a sense of familiarity to its design to me. Or maybe it just feels like Jony Ive let his best friend Marc Newson whisper into his ear about the Apple Watch's overall aesthetics.
Krieger: Though they were obviously developed separately, I think the appeal of the Apple Watch will be similar to the appeal of the now Apple-owned Beats brand of headphones. Both will be purchased because of the larger brand appeal, as the product design doesn't get in the way of that.
I think it is very significant to hear Apple talking about how their smartwatch will offer millions of options through strap changes, and the way they have even engineered a custom solution to allow for more quickly changing straps. This is a major evolution in tone for Apple design. Not long ago the announcement of even a second color option for an Apple device was a major event. I hope this evolution continues.
How does the Apple Watch compare with the competition? Is this a game changer for wearables?
Lovelady: The Apple Watch pushes the smartwatch category forward on a few fronts. First, it is broadly integrated with Apple's family of products. It's got a halo of options, flexible software, quality hardware, design-centered vision, addictive utility, and hipster must-have status.
That makes it harder for others to compete with, but good for the game overall! So yes, I think it's a game changer. It's the new odds-on favorite.
Krieger: Apple entering any market is a game changer, but major questions still remain. For example, how long does the battery last? Today's presentation mentioned the elegance of the charger, which is good because this smartwatch will likely be visiting its charger often. But I think this device raises serious questions about what level of interaction is desirable on a wearable.
Watches have thrived in the modern technological world because they do one thing and do it reliably. They don't need charging, they don't zoom or pan, and the only time you need to update the software is for Daylight Savings Time. So while the Apple Watch offers customized emoticons and exploring the solar system on your watch face, that's not going to appeal to everyone. It's a radically different approach. And personally, I have to say that managing the "push notification" settings for my watch is of pretty low appeal.
Amit: Whether or not the Apple Watch is a game changer will ultimately be decided through its interaction with the software ecosystem. But as far as just the physical design is concerned, I'm not convinced it's a clear winner. It's possibly not even the leader.
I think many companies breathed a sigh of relief when the Apple Watch was unveiled. All those stories about rounded displays, exotic glasses, liquid metal housings, and superior sensors were overblown. The Apple Watch is a very good, extremely well-crafted object, and it's one of the leaders of the smartwatch category. But for Apple to be merely among the leaders is not what I had expected.

One of the things we like to do at MMORPG.com is bring indie games to our readers' collective attention. In our latest Independency column, we showcase Die2Nite in a unique and fun way. Check it out!
Since first discovering the game a few years back, I've done everything I could to evangelize Die2Nite. Why? Because it's a damn awesome game that deserves more attention and a game that exists in a somewhat unfortunate position. Die2Nite, in spite of being brilliant in its own quiet, horrible way, has a problem: it's a browser game.

Browser/Flash games will ALWAYS be restrictive mainly because it is all loaded into that browser and not on your HD.This will limit the bandwidth used ,already a noticeable problem just getting PC developers to open up the bandwidth for better over all game play.
This restriction alone spells MANY weak points to teh game,not just graphical but in models and over all quality and items loaded.
This game is more imo like a MUD.It does not have an imnitial appeal factor to me,although the scxripted video might hook some people in.
This guy likes the game but even he has a hard time making this game sound anything other than boring.
I do like Indie games getting coverage,but this is 2012,we need to see a lot higher quality than this game.Fallen Earth was an example of an Indie game that at least had some quality to it.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
if maybe they all didnt take away lots of features and make you pay $13/month!!! then more would like em. $13/month??? wtf thats what a high quality mmo costs.

Interesting, also sadly a good representation of humanity. Strip away our facade of law and civility and people would mostly all betray and do evil to each other.
I don't believe that is true, at least in the long run. Certainly, in a desperate scenario, immediate needs for food, shelter and security would override most other considerations, including "goodwill towards men." But once those needs are met, humanity's natural drive as a social creature will compel people to find one another and form mutually beneficial and trusting partnerships.
But that part doesn't make a very interesting game, does it?

There are high quality MMOs out there?
Looked into it and seemed like your typical pay2 compete browser game. I prefer Zombie Pandemic which is coming along very nicely.
"I am not in a server with Gankers...THEY ARE IN A SERVER WITH ME!!!"
Really fun game buit huge rip off. It was nearly 10.00/month last time I played and at BEST you can play an hour a day or so before there isnt anything else to do...
Was a fun diversion but not nearly enough content to justify what they were asking- Granted you can play for free but even that got boring by the second season.

It kinda is- With some nice twists though where your Town goes up against others and you really do not "compete" until close to the end (or you end up thrown out of town or hanged)... You have minimal actions you can do per day and sometimes you can get an hour of playing/chatting before you need more points to move or do anything. Mostly you are done in 10-15 mins.
People have been asking for a realistic price structure since day 1 (I was there) since we want to support indies but Cmon.... Over 10 monthly for a spreadsheet with at most an hour of play per day?
Put that in perspective against a game like Eve, of Fantasy Realm Online (which is really free and you could find stuff to do 24/7) or even WOW- Hell TOR and MO are a far better value for the money and even those I knew who did sub to die2nite did it for only a month to support the game and then couldnt justify a sub- I couldnt justify more than a couple $ a month and I try not to support what I see as blatant greed. Indie or not.
EDIT: ANYONE new should not do ANYTHING in town until you have talked to other citizens. You can end up making enemies or screwing the town by doing the wrong things- There is a town forum you NEED to check before deciding what to do. I have watched many a town ruined and plunged into chaos by an influx of new players who failed to read the town forum.
I remember one game I had played, there was this guy who was stealing and being a pain, so he got banished. After that, he continued to steal and hide things in the desert so, I had this great idea, I took some posion and posioned a piece of food and left it in my house. I logged back on the next day and noticed that my food had been stolen, so I checked his house and there he was dead. Everyone didn't care, he didn't have any friends in that town.
The game is amazing, everyone should try it.

This is not true. Browser and flash games can store information on your hard drive. Take a look at Dark Legends, Dead Frontier, or the numerous games using Unity plugin.
"There are at least two kinds of games.
One could be called finite, the other infinite.
A finite game is played for the purpose of winning,
an infinite game for the purpose of continuing play."
Finite and Infinite Games, James Carse
This is the ultimate game for anyone who likes to be a 'forum warrior'. The meat of the game isn't doing actions, but persuading others towards your viewpoint, getting everyone pulling in the same direction and managing to advance your own agenda to come out on top at the end of things. Whether you are putting in an hour, two or 10 minutes, each person contributes to the success or failure of a town.
I played beta and seasons 1 & 2, with the majority of my towns being right up there in the top 5 each season. I do agree about the pricing, it does seem excessive for what it is, but you can still have plenty fun without paying (at least you could when I was actively playing).
I prefer the game called Urban Dead which is not only more fun and it costs nothing.
Urban dead is easily one of the best text based zombie games on the browser
A few turns a day and it is easy to play.
I am enjoying it a lot, but I am also annoyed that I can't upgrade anything in my house without being a hero. Although this may not be accurate as I did find a box that allowed me to add more storage. However, upgrades chosen from the list seem to be reserved for heroes. AKA, the paying players.
Because I am enjoying the idea of it all, I will give it more time and see what happens. However, so far the limitations seem iffy.
I decided to give it a try. It is fun and interesting. You can play for free without fear. The only significant point is each "game" has a definiive end. You will die at some point gaurenteed.
Being a hero(IE paid sub) gives some advantages - however, since the object is to work together to make your town last as long as possible - this does not give advantage of one player over another within the context of a given town - only within the context of the leaderboard for best towns overall - IE a town with a lot of heroes will last substantially longer than one without.
The one negative as everyone states is the cost to sub/be a hero is way too high. If they ported this game to tablets and smart phones - reduced the sub to like $1 - $5 for 31 days they would end up making millions.
On a side note the sub is not your typical sub where you pay for 30-31 days whether you play or not. It only counts down on your subbed days while you are alive and active in a given town and playing. So if you die and do not play again for a week then you dont lose any more Hero days ( IE sub days). However, if you join a town you really have to do things every day or the town will go down in flames.

The best indoor adventure playground around! Does exactly what it says on the tin! Great spot for the kids, well done snakes and ladders 👍
Great place for younger children, my little girl (4) loves to move around all the different areas...big 3 level jungle gym with 3 big slides and a small zip-line, indoor 5-a-side pitch, electric 'fast' car racetrack, soft play/ ball pool, compressed air cannons and loads more...she's always a bit :( when our time runs out. The staff are very helpful...
We have a family afternoon there most weeks, my grandsons love it and it is a lovely friendly atmosphere. We go and have lunch there, the food is excellent and the people are lovely, thank you Michelle and Anna. In my opinion it is the best soft play area I have visited.
Great for kids to play in and a café for adults. In the café, there is good food to eat as a snack and things to drink, like hot chocolate.
We visited here to give the toddler something to do. Inside there is a lovely reception area where you sign in and they take the children's shoes.
Once you are in you are greeted by a large 3 tiered frame with lots of slides along with dizzy dummies, climbing walls, bash panels, things to climb over/under, sports arena, rollers, punch...

Just some food for thought: Ethnic Cleansing, ZOG Nightmare and Thundra were all made with a Game Maker-like engine. That should speak about the quality of games obtainable with such engines, and the kinds of people that release stuff made with them.

This argument makes no sense. People make terrible Doom maps all the time, does that speak about the quality of maps obtainable with the Doom engine?

Please Note: Ruminate adheres to the following Contest Code of Ethics, as adopted by the Council of Literary Presses and Magazines, of which Ruminate is a proud member. This Contest Code of Ethics was developed with writing contests in mind, but we apply the same integrity to our visual art contests. "CLMP's community of independent literary publishers believes that ethical contests serve our shared goal: to connect writers and readers by publishing exceptional writing. We believe that intent to act ethically, clarity of guidelines, and transparency of process form the foundation of an ethical contest. To that end, we agree to 1) conduct our contests as ethically as possible and to address any unethical behavior on the part of our readers, judges, or editors; 2) to provide clear and specific contest guidelines — defining conflict of interest for all parties involved; and 3) to make the mechanics of our selection process available to the public. This Code recognizes that different contest models produce different results, but that each model can be run ethically. We have adopted this Code to reinforce our integrity and dedication as a publishing community and to ensure that our contests contribute to a vibrant literary heritage."
Ruminate Magazine sponsors four annual writing and art contests: our visual art contest, poetry contest, short story contest, and nonfiction contest. We are one of the only Christian-minded literary magazines to sponsor writing and art contests, and while our contests–just like our magazine–are not defined as Christian poetry contests, Christian short story contests, Christian essay contests, or Christian art contests, we do believe we are providing a forum for the conversation between art and faith to exist and continue. Past winners from the Ruminate Magazine writing contests have been recognized by Poets & Writers Magazine and have received notable mention awards in The Best American Short Stories anthology and The Best American Essays anthology or have gone on to appear in other collections or anthologies. Past finalist judges of our contests include artists and writers such as: Bruce Herman, Sandra Bowden, Melissa Weinman, Mary McCleary, Bret Lott, David James Duncan, Mark Richard, Luci Shaw, Naomi Shihab Nye, Vito Aiuto, Li-Young Lee, and Leif Enger. It is our hope our writing contests provide a significant venue for our talented contributors to receive the support and recognition they deserve.
