You are venturing into the world of serious games. Humans have always played
games to sharpen intellect, gain skills, refine tactics, understand the
ramifications of strategy, and entertain themselves. I'm currently helping to
author a paper about the security requirements of serious games,
It is fascinating seeing business evolution in action.
A lot of the AAA game companies seem to be struggling with maintaining their

My casita's porch is needing help .. some wood rot. Not sure if structural

I also have a second job: sealing all the external wood work.
Any recommendations for a carpenter/contractor for this sort of work?

Nick,
Owen's post actually made me think of the beginnings of the War Between the
States rather than the aftermath - someone would have to win for there to be an
aftermath.
The EU is more like the original thirteen colonies' Articles of
