Miniatures: Star Gate SG-Z

The members of SG-Z are on a standard recon mission to the planet ZX153, a civilization brought to ruin by the Ghoul. All is well as the Colonel and his team search the ruins for any remnants of Ghoul technology, however, on their way back to the gate SG-Z encounter the Ghoul blocking their way home. The team defeat the initial onslaught of Ghoul and regroup in the center of the ruins. Ghoul come out in strength to block the Stargate and prevent the humans from escaping their trap. Undaunted, SG-Z fight their way to the gate and escape to Earth. (This game was played at a local comic book convention using the Zombie Apocalypse rules.)

Non-Fiction: The French Foreign Legion

I am skimming more than reading The French Foreign Legion: A Complete History of the Legendary Fighting Force By Douglas Porch. I am most interested about the Legion in Algiers and Morocco and Porch has other books that specifically examine those conflicts; The Conquest of the Sahara and The Conquest of Morocco. Unfortunately the local library does not have the specific books I am looking for, so I checked out this one instead. After pawing through it a bit, however, I have found some areas that really fascinate me, specifically the origins of the Legion and, as always, Camerone.

News: Particle Smashing Laboratory set to Explore Mysteries of Physics

A massive particle physics laboratory under the Swiss/French boarder is nearly set to begin experiments into the "God Particle", Dark Matter and other mysteries of the universe. The experiment involves a machine called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which initiates and measures the collision of hydrogen protons at near light speed.
