The implications for the gun community include ongoing scrutiny and potential misunderstanding of gun ownership dynamics, without substantive evidence that tracing directly contributes to crime resolution.

Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Chuckin Abox - Hello, I just bought a g-force jawbone 9mm AR9?PCC? It's got a 5.5"" barrel ,an adjustable pistol brace, and takes glock mags. Two questions. What gideon optic would you recommend and what pistol brace would you recommend. Use case will be home defense/truck gun. P.S. No Notes P.P.S. A guy just asked Jeremy if he remembered a cab driver outside ft.leonard wood with a gimpy arm. That guy owns a bar now called bottoms up and big louie's strip club is now Uranus Fudge Factory owned by the same guy Louie lol P.P.PS. I worked at Big Louie's adult store next to the strip club from 01-04 so it's very possible I sold Jeremy his gay porn back in the day. Harold Ballzanya - I've recently moved to an area that has an indoor shooting range. Outside of normal safety rules, what are some things I should consider before going my first time. Is it acceptable to walk in with your gun in its holster, or should it be in a case. Can I use a holster at all, should it be left on the table when not firing? Are shotguns okay? I'm sure these rules can be answered by a range officer for each individual range but I don't want to come in looking like an idiot. Also what sort of range etiquette is there to be expected of me? Baklava of Balaklava - Not that many years ago any review of a Turkish gun would be full of comments saying people would never buy a gun from that country as long as the islamofascist tyrant Erdogan was in power. This never seems to happen anymore. What happened with American gun buyers? Erdogan hasn't become less islamofascist or tyrannical in his old age - quite the contrary. And all Turkish foreign sales help continue the dictatorship. Are there countries where the regime is such that the panel would never buy a weapon produced there? Ed - With all the new guns and gear gun-tubers and social media influencers talk about do you guys feel pressured into carrying all the new stuff? On one hand, I like idea appendix carrying a 17-rd comped pistol with light, optic and extra mag, but I find it to be bulky and uncomfortable most of the time. On the other hand, the simplicity of a pocket snubby or 380 is convenient and comfortable but it's not mainstream. The winner of this week's swag pack is ED!

La découverte a surpris les archéologues comme les géologues. Au large de la pointe de la Bretagne, sous plusieurs dizaines de mètres d'eau, des chercheurs ont identifié une structure monumentale immergée, longue de plusieurs centaines de mètres, que l'on décrit aujourd'hui comme un véritable « mur » préhistorique. Son âge estimé : environ 7 000 ans, soit le Néolithique ancien.Ce mur a été repéré grâce à des campagnes de cartographie sonar et de relevés bathymétriques menées dans le cadre de programmes de recherche sur les paysages côtiers engloutis. À l'époque de sa construction, la zone aujourd'hui submergée n'était pas marine. Le niveau de la mer était alors bien plus bas, d'environ 20 à 30 mètres, et l'île de Sein faisait partie d'un vaste territoire côtier aujourd'hui disparu, parfois comparé au « Doggerland » de la mer du Nord.La structure intrigue par son caractère manifestement artificiel. Les blocs de pierre sont disposés de manière régulière, alignés sur une longue distance, ce qui exclut une formation géologique naturelle. Les chercheurs estiment que ce mur aurait pu servir de barrage, de digue ou de limite territoriale. Une autre hypothèse évoque un usage lié à la pêche : le mur aurait permis de piéger des poissons lors des marées, une technique connue dans plusieurs sociétés néolithiques.Cette découverte est majeure car elle remet en question notre perception des sociétés préhistoriques installées sur les littoraux. Loin d'être de simples groupes nomades, ces populations semblaient capables de grands travaux collectifs, d'une organisation sociale avancée et d'une connaissance fine de leur environnement. Construire un tel ouvrage nécessitait du temps, une main-d'œuvre importante et une vision à long terme.Le mur de l'île de Sein est aussi un témoignage direct de la montée des eaux liée à la fin de la dernière glaciation. Il rappelle que le changement climatique n'est pas un phénomène récent. En quelques millénaires, la hausse du niveau marin a englouti des territoires entiers, forçant les populations à se déplacer. Ce mur figé sous la mer est une archive climatique autant qu'archéologique.Aujourd'hui, les chercheurs poursuivent les analyses à l'aide de carottages sédimentaires, de modélisations 3D et de comparaisons avec d'autres structures immergées en Europe. Chaque nouvelle donnée affine notre compréhension de ces paysages perdus.En somme, ce mur vieux de 7 000 ans n'est pas seulement une curiosité scientifique. Il est la preuve tangible que les humains ont toujours dû s'adapter à un environnement changeant — et qu'ils en ont laissé des traces, parfois là où on ne pensait jamais les trouver : au fond de la mer.

I'm recording my first episode of 2026 and it feels SO fitting that we're diving into expansive, limitless vision — because I can feel a shift happening, and I know I'm not the only one.In this episode, I'm breaking down what it actually takes to create a vision that becomes real. Not just a “vision board” moment — but the mindset, the belief, and the aligned action that moves your life forward. I talk about why I genuinely believe nothing is off the table, how the only real limits are the ones we impose on ourselves, and how to get honest about what you truly want (not what you think you should want).We also get super practical: giving money a job, getting clear on the number you're working toward, and using real-world math to create a roadmap — because yes, you can be magnetic… and you still need to take action in this 3D world. I'll walk you through prompts to help you map your vision for 2026, 2030, and 2035, and I'll challenge you to let yourself dream without staying trapped in the “cage” you've been living in.If you've been feeling stuck, stagnant, or like you know you're meant for more but you don't know how to access it — this episode is for you. And if you do the journaling prompts, please message me on Instagram — I want to see what you're creating!
Can adults really expand their maxilla? Is treating sleep apnea with a CPAP or mandibular advancement device only MASKING the problem? How does craniofacial anatomy influence airway health, and what should dentists look for? Dr. Dave Singh joins us to dive into CranioFacial Sleep Medicine. He breaks down how structural issues—like a narrow maxilla, high-arched palate, or limited tongue space—can be root causes of sleep-disordered breathing, rather than just treating symptoms. The episode also touches on controversies in orthodontics and presents evidence supporting interventions once thought impossible in adults. https://youtu.be/WUyeOjKquJU Watch PDP253 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Obstructive Sleep Apnea is NOT just a “fat old man disease.” If you're not screening every patient for sleep and airway issues, you're missing a huge piece of their overall health. Snoring, bruxism, and craniofacial anatomy are all connected, and understanding these links can transform the way you approach patient care. Key Takeaways: Mandibular advancement appliances are not a universal solution. While effective for some patients, they often fail to address the underlying causes of airway collapse. Craniofacial sleep medicine focuses on airway etiology, not just symptom control, by identifying why the mandible, tongue, and airway behave as they do during sleep. The cranial base plays a foundational role in facial growth, jaw position, and airway size, directly influencing sleep apnea risk. A retruded mandible is frequently due to developmental and epigenetic factors, rather than being an isolated mandibular issue. Sleep apnea has multiple endotypes—including craniofacial, neurologic, metabolic, and myopathic—requiring individualized treatment planning. Bruxism is not a reliable airway-opening mechanism and may be a primitive physiological response to hypoxia rather than a protective behavior. Tooth wear can be an early indicator of sleep-disordered breathing, and should prompt clinicians to screen beyond restorative concerns. Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) can occur even when the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is low, particularly in non-obese patients with fatigue, pain, and poor sleep quality. Palatal expansion should be understood as a 3D craniofacial intervention, aimed at improving nasal airflow and airway function—not merely widening the dental arch. Effective care depends on an integrated, multidisciplinary approach, involving dentists, orthodontists, sleep physicians, ENTs, and myofunctional therapists.

Nathan and Ryan strap on their 3D glasses and dive into Saw 3D (aka Saw: The Final Chapter), the movie that promised to end the franchise… and very clearly did not. The hosts break down the gimmicky 3D gore, the returning legacy characters, and the soap-opera-level twists that push Jigsaw mythology to its absolute limit. From public traps to pink blood splatter to one last “gotcha” reveal, this episode examines whether Saw 3D works as a franchise finale or just another cruel game in a series that refused to die.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Josh Halliday, who works on training super intelligence with frontier data at Turing. The conversation explores the fascinating world of reinforcement learning (RL) environments, synthetic data generation, and the crucial role of high-quality human expertise in AI training. Josh shares insights from his years working at Unity Technologies building simulated environments for everything from oil and gas safety scenarios to space debris detection, and discusses how the field has evolved from quantity-focused data collection to specialized, expert-verified training data that's becoming the key bottleneck in AI development. They also touch on the philosophical implications of our increasing dependence on AI technology and the emerging job market around AI training and data acquisition.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to AI and Reinforcement Learning03:12 The Evolution of AI Training Data05:59 Gaming Engines and AI Development08:51 Virtual Reality and Robotics Training11:52 The Future of Robotics and AI Collaboration14:55 Building Applications with AI Tools17:57 The Philosophical Implications of AI20:49 Real-World Workflows and RL Environments26:35 The Impact of Technology on Human Cognition28:36 Cultural Resistance to AI and Data Collection31:12 The Bottleneck of High-Quality Data in AI32:57 Philosophical Perspectives on Data35:43 The Future of AI Training and Human Collaboration39:09 The Role of Subject Matter Experts in Data Quality43:20 The Evolution of Work in the Age of AI46:48 Convergence of AI and Human ExperienceKey Insights1. Reinforcement Learning environments are sophisticated simulations that replicate real-world enterprise workflows and applications. These environments serve as training grounds for AI agents by creating detailed replicas of tools like Salesforce, complete with specific tasks and verification systems. The agent attempts tasks, receives feedback on failures, and iterates until achieving consistent success rates, effectively learning through trial and error in a controlled digital environment.2. Gaming engines like Unity have evolved into powerful platforms for generating synthetic training data across diverse industries. From oil and gas companies needing hazardous scenario data to space intelligence firms tracking orbital debris, these real-time 3D engines with advanced physics can create high-fidelity simulations that capture edge cases too dangerous or expensive to collect in reality, bridging the gap where real-world data falls short.3. The bottleneck in AI development has fundamentally shifted from data quantity to data quality. The industry has completely reversed course from the previous "scale at all costs" approach to focusing intensively on smaller, higher-quality datasets curated by subject matter experts. This represents a philosophical pivot toward precision over volume in training next-generation AI systems.4. Remote teleoperation through VR is creating a new global workforce for robotics training. Workers wearing VR headsets can remotely control humanoid robots across the globe, teaching them tasks through direct demonstration. This creates opportunities for distributed talent while generating the nuanced human behavioral data needed to train autonomous systems.5. Human expertise remains irreplaceable in the AI training pipeline despite advancing automation. Subject matter experts provide crucial qualitative insights that go beyond binary evaluations, offering the contextual "why" and "how" that transforms raw data into meaningful training material. The challenge lies in identifying, retaining, and properly incentivizing these specialists as demand intensifies.6. First-person perspective data collection represents the frontier of human-like AI training. Companies are now paying people to life-log their daily experiences, capturing petabytes of egocentric data to train models more similarly to how human children learn through constant environmental observation, rather than traditional batch-processing approaches.7. The convergence of simulation, robotics, and AI is creating unprecedented philosophical and practical challenges. As synthetic worlds become indistinguishable from reality and AI agents gain autonomy, we're entering a phase where the boundaries between digital and physical, human and artificial intelligence, become increasingly blurred, requiring careful consideration of dependency, agency, and the preservation of human capabilities.

This week on Not Your Granny's Quilt Show, we welcome in the New Year with Matt Wilding! Matt is a quilt pattern designer and all around creative guy. While being sculpture studies major at university, Matt found a connection to sourdough bread and sculpture that helped him finish his studies. The sourdough saga continued for him when he started baking for neighbors and friends during the lockdowns in 2020. While healing from a serious back injury, Matt had to find a new path that didn't have quite the same physical demand as baking. Matt turned to sewing, and produced an incredible peice called "Wings of Pride". Matt's wings won in the Quilt Creations category at Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, UK. The magnificent wingspan features precision piecing and details that stop people in their tracks. Matt has since designed and produced the pattern for a fun 3D bag pattern called Tessellated Heart. The pattern is now available on his website and you can find so many fun hacks to the pattern on his instagram! Matt will be teaching a workshop for his through Crafty Monkies, so check that out!

Aemula is a new kind of news media platform that's trying to tackle a big problem: the fact that the structure of our news media leads to various outcomes that amplify toxic polarization. Instead of the usual “engagement = more exposure” logic, Aemula flips the incentives. You read an article, then you tap a simple Support or Disagree button — and those signals build a living map of Aemula's community: a 3D social network graph showing how readers, writers, and articles relate (without slapping on ill-defined partisan labels like 'left' and 'right' - labels that often unintentionally amplify us-vs-them, team-based thinking). Aemula creator Don Templeman and I discuss: Why left/right-type labels can be a misleading way to understand beliefs or categorize content; How Aemula uses social network analysis to map out relationships and ideological groupings in an objective, data-driven way; How Aemula's social network can help define a sort of ideological center, and how promoting content from the widely supported regions of the network can help reduce polarization; How the blockchain aspect of Aemula makes it self-governing and therefore infinitely scalable ; How Aemula's approach could matter even more in an AI world, where chatbots and LLMs need better sources than “Reddit + Wikipedia”. If you've ever felt like the incentives of the media ecosystem seem destined to drive us further apart — I think you'll appreciate learning about Aemula's paradigm-shifting approach to the news.

Gary Shapiro has spent decades at the center of the global consumer technology industry, leading the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and building CES into one of the most important stages for innovation, policy, and deal-making on the planet. In this first episode of 2026, Gary joins Charlie, Rony, and Ted to preview CES, unpack the explosion of AI across every category, and deliver unusually blunt takes on tariffs, China, manufacturing, and U.S. innovation policy. He explains how CES has evolved from a TV-and-gadgets show into a global platform where boards meet, standards are set, and policymakers, chip designers, robotics firms, and health-tech startups all collide.In the News: Before Gary joins, the hosts break down Nvidia's $20 billion “not-a-deal” with Singapore's Groq, the stake in Intel, and what that combo might signal about the edge of the GPU bubble and the shift toward inference compute, x86, and U.S. industrial policy. They also dig into Netflix's acquisition of Ready Player Me and what it suggests about a Netflix metaverse and location-based entertainment strategy, plus Starlink's rapid growth and an onslaught of “AI everything” products ahead of CES.Gary walks through new features at this year's show: CES Foundry at the Fontainebleau for AI and quantum, expanded tracks on manufacturing, wearables, women's health, and accessibility, plus an AI-powered show app already fielding thousands of questions (top query: where to pick up badges). He also talks candidly about his biggest concern—that fragmented state-level AI regulation (1,200+ state bills in 2025) will crush startups while big players shrug—and why he believes federal standards via NIST are the only realistic path. The discussion ranges from AI-driven healthcare and precision agriculture to robotics, demographics, labor culture, global supply chains, and what CES might look like in 2056.5 Key Takeaways from Gary:AI is now the spine of CES. CES 2026 centers on AI as infrastructure: CES Foundry at the Fontainebleau for AI + quantum, AI training tracks for strategy, implementation, agentic AI, and AI-driven marketing, and an AI-powered app helping attendees navigate the show.Fragmented state AI laws are an existential risk for startups. Over 1,200 state AI bills in 2025—including proposals to criminalize agentic AI counseling—could create a compliance maze only large incumbents can survive, which is why Gary argues for federal standards via NIST.Wearables are becoming systems, not gadgets. Oura rings, wrist devices, body sensors, and subdermal glucose monitors are starting to be designed as interoperable families of devices, with partnerships emerging to combine data into unified health services.Robotics is breaking out of the industrial niche. CES will showcase the largest robotics presence yet, moving beyond factory arms and drones to humanoids, logistics, social companions, and applied AI systems across sectors.Tariffs, alliances, and AI will reshape manufacturing. Gary is skeptical of “Fortress USA” strategies that try to onshore everything, pointing instead to allied reshoring (Latin America, Europe, Japan, South Korea) and the long-term role of AI-powered robotics in changing labor economics and global supply chains.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile headsets and desktop.

We are closing out the year by debating the ethics of selling 3D printed "dragons" at craft fairs and discussing when a maker business should graduate from 3D printing to injection molding (the "MVP" strategy). We also dive into the reality of "Outlet Mall" quality, we suspect that brands are manufacturing intentionally worse products for discount stores. Plus, we break down the legendary Van Halen "Green M&M" rider clause—it turns out it wasn't about being a diva, but a genius safety check—and we set our "F-Off Price" for working with brands that have wronged us.Got questions?

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews Marcin Dymczyk, CPO and co-founder of SevenSense Robotics, exploring the fascinating world of advanced robotics and AI. Their conversation covers the evolution from traditional "standard" robotics with predetermined pathways to advanced robotics that incorporates perception, reasoning, and adaptability - essentially the AGI of physical robotics. Dymczyk explains how his company builds "the eyes and brains of mobile robots" using camera-based autonomy algorithms, drawing parallels between robot sensing systems and human vision, inner ear balance, and proprioception. The discussion ranges from the technical challenges of sensor fusion and world models to broader topics including robotics regulation across different countries, the role of federalism in innovation, and how recent geopolitical changes are driving localized high-tech development, particularly in defense applications. They also touch on the democratization of robotics for small businesses and the philosophical implications of increasingly sophisticated AI systems operating in physical environments.

Advanced robotics transcends traditional programming through perception and intelligence. Dymczyk distinguishes between standard robotics that follows rigid, predefined pathways and advanced robotics that incorporates perception and reasoning. This evolution enables robots to make autonomous decisions about navigation and task execution, similar to how humans adapt to unexpected situations rather than following predetermined scripts.2. Camera-based sensing systems mirror human biological navigation. SevenSense Robotics builds "eyes and brains" for mobile robots using multiple cameras (up to eight), IMUs (accelerometers/gyroscopes), and wheel encoders that parallel human vision, inner ear balance, and proprioception. This redundant sensing approach allows robots to navigate even when one system fails, such as operating in dark environments where visual sensors are compromised.3. Edge computing dominates industrial robotics due to connectivity and security constraints. Many industrial applications operate in environments with poor connectivity (like underground grocery stores) or require on-premise solutions for confidentiality. This necessitates powerful local processing capabilities rather than cloud-dependent AI, particularly in automotive factories where data security about new models is paramount.4. Safety regulations create mandatory "kill switches" that bypass AI decision-making. European and US regulatory bodies require deterministic safety systems that can instantly stop robots regardless of AI reasoning. These systems operate like human reflexes, providing immediate responses to obstacles while the main AI brain handles complex navigation and planning tasks.5. Modern robotics development benefits from increasingly affordable optical sensors. The democratization of 3D cameras, laser range finders, and miniature range measurement chips (costing just a few dollars from distributors like DigiKey) enables rapid prototyping and innovation that was previously limited to well-funded research institutions.6. Geopolitical shifts are driving localized high-tech development, particularly in defense applications. The changing role of US global leadership and lessons from Ukraine's drone warfare are motivating countries like Poland to develop indigenous robotics capabilities. Small engineering teams can now create battlefield-effective technology using consumer drones equipped with advanced sensors.7. The future of robotics lies in natural language programming for non-experts. Dymczyk envisions a transformation where small business owners can instruct robots using conversational language rather than complex programming, similar to how AI coding assistants now enable non-programmers to build applications through natural language prompts.
Week 18 is here, and if you're still setting lineups, you already know what comes with it: rested starters, snap-count roulette, and late-week chaos.In this episode, Matt Schauf and Jared Smola break down the toughest Week 18 start-sit decisions, focusing on teams expected to rest starters like the Chargers, Packers, Bills, and Eagles. We cover how aggressive to be with the Rams, whether any Packers or Bills backups are actually usable, why Eagles players might be impossible to trust, the Bears' motivation, and the uncertainty surrounding the Cowboys. All of it is backed by Draft Sharks' Week 18 projections and rankings, with updates continuing right through inactives to help you squeeze every last edge out of the final week.TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro1:11 What to do with Chargers4:48 Stay away from Packers6:09 What to do with Bills10:52 Are we underrating the Rams in Week 18?13:58 Start Tanner McKee, Tank Bigsby, or Jahan Dotson?17:00 Trust the Bears?18:58 What does Rams decision mean for Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals?21:40 Trust the Cowboys?23:41 Dallas backfield gets complicated25:38 Trust Lamar Jackson?29:03 What Riley Leonard means for Michael Pittman and Colts offense32:08 Seahawks RBs still annoying34:02 Which Commanders RB should you play?EPISODE LINKS:Week 18 RankingsWeek 18 Start-SitWeek 18 QB PreviewWeek 18 RB PreviewWeek 18 WR PreviewWeek 18 TE Preview DRAFT SHARKS - YOUR UNFAIR ADVANTAGEAward-winning fantasy football rankings, projections and draft tools.

In Part 3 of Bruce Norris' conversation with Sean O'Toole, they explore how autonomous learning and emerging “world models” could reshape artificial intelligence, the true impact of robots on the workforce, and what technologies like 3D-printed housing and blockchain may mean for the future. Sean also explains why AI should be used to amplify human potential — not replace it. Sean OToole is CEO & Founder of PropertyRadar, the property data and owner information platform real estate pros have trusted since 2007 to do billions of dollars in deals.Sean got his start with data in Silicon Valley during the dot-com boom. After the dot-com bubble, Sean flipped properties for five years, and with data-informed insights, got out right before the housing bubble burst.Sean launched ForeclosureRadar in early 2007 before anyone had heard of the foreclosure crisis.In 2013, he relaunched ForeclosureRadar as PropertyRadar, a greatly expanded property data and owner information platform serving a broad audience of real estate professionals and property-centric businesses.Today, PropertyRadar remains the go-to platform for data-driven real professionals intent on leveraging comprehensive property data and owner information to grow their business directly.In this episode:How autonomous learning and “world models” could push AI beyond today's large language models.Why early breakthroughs in AI are already outperforming expectations.The real impact of robots on the workforce — separating hype from reality.Exploring the future of housing through 3D printing and manufactured homes.Sean's take on Bitcoin, stablecoins, and blockchain technology.Why AI should be seen as a productivity tool, not a replacement for people.The Norris Group originates and services loans in California and Florida under California DRE License 01219911, Florida Mortgage Lender License 1577, and NMLS License 1623669.

Send us a textThe shed business isn't simple anymore—and that's a good thing if you know how to harness it. We take you behind the scenes of our five-year arc, share the wins and stumbles that pushed us to relaunch Shed Geek Marketing, and get practical about what actually moves revenue when buyers start online and finish on their terms.We dig into a hard question that reshapes everything: what is a lead for your model? If you run a high-volume, SEO-driven engine, a name and phone number can be enough when you have a team ready to engage within minutes. If you're a lot-based closer handling walk-ins and custom builds, you need richer context at the first touch—budget, timeline, use, and site constraints. Either way, speed-to-lead matters, but so does tone. Reaching out in thirty seconds can feel helpful or pushy, and the difference is your script, your offer, and whether the buyer asked for that help.You'll hear how we're aligning marketing and sales in a 2025 reality: clean websites with analytics, 3D configurators that convert, buyer guides that educate without pressure, and CRMs that automate qualification while keeping humans available when stakes rise. We talk partner tools that make proof visible—local delivery maps, photo galleries, and reviews tied to neighborhoods—because credibility is a growth multiplier. We also get honest about dealer economics: margin is thin, so disconnected tools are expensive. That's why we moved away from a pure white-label model to manage the customer experience in-house, coordinate specialists, and make sure ads, pages, and follow-up all point to the same goal.If you sell sheds, you're guiding one of the biggest purchases your customer will make. Clarity wins: pricing that makes sense, financing and RTO explained in plain English, timelines you can keep, and support that's one click away by phone, text, or live video. Ready to rethink your funnel, define your lead, and build a system that closes more of the right buyers?

TCW Podcast Episode 249 - New World Computing We look at the rise and fall of New World Computing through the career of Jon Van Caneghem. Coming from the era of the lone programmer as the industry shifted toward larger development houses, Jon built Might and Magic into one of the most influential RPG franchises of its time. We trace the evolution of the series from its early focus on quest driven gameplay, early auto mapping, and the introduction of features like quest logs and reactive character portraits. Along the way, New World Computing briefly experimented with board games, returning to video games with King's Bounty, a title that would later be reimagined as Heroes of Might and Magic after a marketing push to leverage the stronger Might and Magic name. We examine the company's shifting publishing relationships, struggles with distribution, and eventual acquisition by the 3DO Company. While Heroes of Might and Magic III brought major success, pressure from 3DO led to rushed releases, excessive expansions, and declining quality across both franchises. As Might and Magic moved into 3D and real time combat, development resources became increasingly strained. The episode closes with the collapse of 3DO, failed efforts to spin off New World Computing, and the quiet end of a studio that helped define computer role playing games.

Welcome to Bri Books! In this episode, I'm covering how to start a manifestation journal, and sharing my favorite manifestation journaling tips. Consider this your guide to manifestation journaling and morning pages. This episode will be a crash course on what exactly manifestation journaling is, where to start with manifestation journaling, scripting, and how to make manifestation journaling less overwhelming. If you're new to the show, leave a review of Bri Books on Apple Podcasts, and listen to Bri Books on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Please tell me where you're traveling to by using #bribooks on Instagram and subscribe to the Bri Books newsletter at bribookspod.com/newsletter. 2:00 - What Exactly Is a Manifestation Journal: How to Start Manifestation Journaling A manifestation journal is an excellent way to describe your life story the way you want to manifest your dream life. The process of manifestation journaling not only forces you to organize your thoughts and establish paths to your dreams, but also sparks motivation to go after them. 3:00: What's the Goal of Manifestation Journaling? The goal of manifestation journaling is to create new neural networks and belief systems. By writing each goal and each experience in the present tense to convince your mind into thinking it's already a reality. This primes your subconscious mind to be able to make the changes to achieve your goal while helping you shift self-identity. Remember, the goal here is to bring something into reality by establishing expectations. 4:00: Where to Start with Manifestation Journaling Use a Pen and Paper: Avoid digital versions of manifestation journals at the beginning of your journey, because you want to give the time and energy with pen and paper to unlock your desires. You want your manifestation journal to feel almost ritualistic: something you look forward to. Define Your Vision: Take a look at your current reality and identify what areas you'd like to improve. I'd say stick to 2 clear visions for 90 days, to avoid completely overhauling your life. Examples of vision areas include professional life, personal/ spiritual growth, physical health, relationships, financial health, creativity, fun/ adventure. Align Your Emotional State With Your Vision: Cultivate the emotions associated with the reality you're working to manifest. How does it feel to achieve this goal? Match how you feel to what you want. Don't wait until you've achieved everything on the list to feel happiness. When you act as if you already have achieved your goals, your reality will shift to match your emotional state. Set a Purpose for Your Vision: This will be your North Star on days when you feel unmotivated. A clear purpose will fuel you to move forward. Having a strong 'why' will drive you to make the changes you need to materialize your goals. 7:00: Manifestation Journal Prompts What does my highest version of reality look like? What would make me fulfilled and satisfied from the inside out in this area? What do I want this area to look like in 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years? What value will this manifestation bring to my life? What am I working towards and why? What's the value behind this goal? What are my motivations behind this vision 9:00: How to Make Manifestation Journaling Less Overwhelming Combine manifestation journaling with something you love like morning coffee or tea. Morning pages help to make it a daily ritual you look forward to. Be as consistent as possible. Journal at the same time every day (after showering, before bed, upon waking). Be present as you write: feel the emotions of achieving your goals, feel the formation of your new intentions, feel your visions come to life. Put away distractions and give writing your full attention. Remember, the greatest emotion you can cultivate to manifest your goals is gratitude. Gratitude is the state of receiving. When you feel gratitude for what you want before you have it, you naturally attract it into your life. 13:00: How to Use Scripting in Your Manifestation Journaling Scripting involves going into detail on the thing you're working to manifest and what it feels like to receive it. Live in the end.. The 3D just needs a little time to catch up--give it a push. Write affirmations at the end of the script, and write as if you're currently recapping your present moment. LINKS: My favorite journal for manifestation journaling is from stationary brand BeRooted (Target, $13). Thank you for listening to this episode of Bri Books! What are you manifesting?

In 2013, Joe Dever realized his dream of turning Lone Wolf into an epic video game experience. Far from the primitive trappings of earlier attempts, Blood on the Snow would incorporate the latest gaming innovations of its time and full 3D models to present Magnamund as never before. For this adventure, new lore would be written, lore which today Jonathan and August explore. Find out all about the game's character of Leandra, what the art tells us about Magnamund, get Jonathan's tips for first time players, and hear behind the scenes details shared for the first time by August, who worked on the game.

A good year in modeling doesn't happen by accident. It grows out of small bench wins, a few brave skill pushes, and the friends who show up at the right time. We wrap 2025 with a clear-eyed look at what worked, what changed, and how to carry that energy into 2026—plus a rich conversation with Australia's own Paul Gloster on moving his entire modeling life across states without losing momentum.We start with holiday check-ins, realistic bench talk, and the simple joy of a new tool that actually solves a problem. From there, we dig into the skills that moved the needle this year: sharper re-engraving, cleaner canopies, tighter scratchbuilding, and just enough 3D printing to expand what's possible. Then we head into travel and community. Four days at the IPMS National Convention changes your modeling in ways a two-day show can't—deeper seminars, patient conversations, and the kind of learning that sticks. It's where “model friends” become friends, and where you can see a kit built before it lands in your shop.Paul's segment is a masterclass in keeping mojo alive during a move. He shows how to triage a stash, protect finished builds with foam and tubs, and assemble a small, reachable “twelve-kit shortlist” that keeps you building while the new bench comes together. He catalogs tools by role, keeps a “desert-island” core set handy, and ensures references are within reach so progress doesn't stall. If you're searching for how to move built models, how to store unbuilt kits long-term, or how to set up a temporary modeling bench, you'll leave with a proven plan.We also riff on the kit news that made 2025 pop: Fine Molds' Zeros and F-104s, Tamiya's 1/72 F-14, Rye Field's JS-2, and Arma's incoming 1/72 Me 262. More than eye candy, these releases give modelers fresh canvases—better engineering, great markings, and subjects that reward both clean builds and heavy weathering.If you're plotting your own 2026, here's our take: set one or two honest goals, pick a some that stretch you, and build the bench you want to return to. The rest follows. Enjoy the episode, share it with a modeling friend, and help someone new find their groove.If you had a favorite kit reveal or a skill breakthrough in 2025, tell us about it.

Start Your Transformation Now In this powerful continuation of the Shaman's Tips for an Amazing 2026 series, Jim shares three timeless lessons drawn from decades of teachings from Don Juan and Don Javier. These insights—distraction, dedication to spiritual work, and preparing for economic shifts—are delivered with clarity and urgency, helping listeners understand how their attention, discipline, and frequency shape the reality they experience. Through personal stories, hard-won wisdom, and real examples from his own life, Jim demonstrates how spiritual alignment becomes the stabilizing force in a chaotic world. He goes deeper into how modern distractions steal our ability to live present, centered, and aware. Jim explains why most people unintentionally invest their energy into meaningless noise rather than spiritual evolution—and how this keeps them out of alignment with their purpose. He also introduces a lesson from 2002 that feels more relevant than ever: economic disruption is coming, and spiritual independence, not fear, is what will carry us through. If you're ready to step into 2026 with more clarity, presence, and personal power, this episode invites you to slow down, pay attention, and reclaim the energy that creates your future. What You'll Discover in This Episode: (02:58) The hidden cost of distractions Don Juan's teaching reveals how much of life we miss because our attention is consumed by modern noise rather than presence. (08:46) How distraction drains your power and purpose Jim shares real examples—from doom scrolling to social media addiction—showing how easily we give away the energy needed for growth. (17:58) Why most people never give 50% to their spiritual work A candid teaching from Don Juan that exposes the gap between “wanting transformation” and actually committing to it. (24:08) Pain as the catalyst for profound spiritual change Jim shares how the challenges of 2024 became the foundation for massive evolution, illustrating why discomfort is often the doorway to growth. (28:26) The energetic price of living in the 3D world Learn how attention, discipline, and alignment—not circumstances—determine how grounded and empowered you feel. (32:15) Preparing spiritually for global economic shifts Jim introduces a decades-old prophecy from Don Juan and explains why frequency—not fear—is the key to navigating future instability. Listen, apply, and enjoy! Transformational Takeaway Your attention is your life. When you give it to distractions, fear, or the external world, you weaken your power, your frequency, and your ability to create. But when you reclaim it—through presence, spiritual discipline, and self-awareness—you begin to rise above circumstances rather than collapse under them. The world may shift, but your inner world can remain steady, clear, and strong. Start giving more of your energy to the evolution of your spirit, and you'll experience a 2026 shaped not by chance, but by consciousness.

Jim and Len kick off the final Disney Dish of the year with holiday crowds, sold-out Lightning Lane Premier Passes, and one last lap through Jollywood Nights before pivoting into surveys, listener questions, and some unexpectedly nerdy math. Along the way, they remember a beloved Imagineer, dig into why Disney asks the survey questions it does, and break down the best times to roll the dice on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind if you are chasing that perfect song.
