4dr Sdn I4 Auto
Starting at $30,510 | Starting at 22 MPG City - 31 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
Largely unchanged for 2013, the Acura TSX is an entry-level luxury sedan available with two different engines; a standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 201 hp/172 lb-ft of torque and an optional 3.5-liter V6 engine that yields 280 hp/254 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with FWD to enable the TSX to achieve fuel mileage within an EPA estimated range of 19 mpg city to 31 mpg highway, depending on engine selection. Transmission options consist of a 5-speed automatic, available with both engines, and a 6-speed manual, solely available on the base 4-cylinder engine. Features include HID headlights, rearview camera, automatic climate control, hands-free phone capabilities, leather seats, and traffic/weather-linked navigation. Safety is comprised of advanced front airbags, side impact airbags, side curtain airbags, anti-lock braking (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD), vehicle stability assist (VSA), and tire pressure monitoring (TPMS). The TSX is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.
While the TSX is considered Acura's entry-level sedan, it lacks in neither performance nor luxury. The TSX's base MSRP belies its well-equipped nature, as it offers a host of luxury and convenience items on all trims. The 2013 TSX holds its own against more expensive competition such as the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The Sport Wagon model takes all of the luxury and performance of the TSX sedan and adds cargo-carrying practicality.
Acura has left the TSX unchanged for 2013. Base price has now been set at $31,510.
The base TSX comes with a 2.4L i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine that delivers 201 horsepower with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The 280 horsepower 3.5L V6 engine and 5-speed automatic transmission returns for 2013. The automatic transmission includes SportShift manual override and steering wheel paddles. The car's sporty handling comes courtesy of a special suspension that utilizes dual-mode dampers. These dampers have the ability to change automatically given road and driving conditions.

So some people from or representing ICECOLD (they refer to it as ICECOLD refrigerant catalyst) came to my company and wanted us to buy it from them. I was skeptical, thinking, snake oil. But then they started touting its history of installs saying how it doesn't void warranties, which is true for residential use, but not commercial use, like office buildings or hospitals or data centers etc, like they were claiming.
http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bu...#Magnuson-Moss The Act does not apply to warranties on products sold for resale or for commercial purposes. The Act covers only warranties on consumer products. This means that only warranties on tangible property normally used for personal, family, or household purposes are covered.
Anyway I bought a small amount. I sent it to a friend of mine who works in a chemical lab to see if he can figure out what's in the stuff, see if its legit or not (as part of my due diligence). These are the results I got from him and his basic thinking on how the stuff would supposedly work. Just to remind everyone I received the material by legal and honest means and reverse engineering is 100% legal and a critical part of our innovation history and system (since the stuff is listed as conveniently having a trade secret formula).
tri-m-tolyl phosphate CAS 563-04-2 (it is possibly harmful and dangerous for the environment http://www.chemexper.com/cheminfo/se...mat=google2008 )( http://hgspace.com/chemical-dictiona.../563-04-2.html )
bis-(2-methoxyethoxy) ether CAS 143-24-8
others are easily available, like triethylene glycol methyl ethyl ether and triethylene glycol dimethyl ether
All components are used as solvent of refrigerant. That will help reduce the amount of refrigerant required for evaporation in the refrigerator system.
In addition to be a solvent component, the phosphate acts as a dispersant to prevent tiny particles "fix" on the surface in the system, that will temporarily improve the thermo efficiency.
Two major components types of compounds. One is a mixture of glycol derivatives, about 57%
The other is tri(m-tolyl)phosphate, about 42%.
But is it a catalyst, since it gets used up? I dont think so.
Catalysis is the change in rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of a substance called a catalyst, unlike other reagents, it is not consumed (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalysis) .
Here is a question to ask these icecold refrigerant catalyst, people, are the units that had this stuff installed 3 years ago still keeping KWH down? I doubt it.
Im most upset at how they where misleading about the magnuson moss act protecting warranties which is simply not true, for any commercial units, like I wouldnt find and read the act easily online.
In the end I am glad I only invested $300 and did my due diligence. I would recommend you guys to share this information with others. What do y'all think?

A properly cleaned and installed system should have no need for the stuff. An improperly cleaned and /or improperly installed system would likely not be helpedby it either, JMO.

icecold additive
I purchased some icecold a few months back and have used the product many of times now and have it installed on all of my vehicles and home too. The product is amazing and the reason most do not like it is simply because they are not using it. Ive been certified hvac for 11 years now and i have tried other products out there. Most everything ive tried was junk, but ive had this stuff in my ac for four years now and it still works great like when it was installed. This product works, even on newly installed systems. Alot of us hvac guys know the moment your new unit is turned on, it automatically starts its degradation process of carrying compressor oil with the refrigerant, dispersing it throughout the system, causing a boundary layer on the insides of the lines that prevent some of the thermal dissipation that is suppose to be occuring in the system. Ive put it in brand new systems and old systems alike. If the system was running properly, it benefited from the stuff. I have reduced my ac bill by about 14% and my house is always comfortable. Not everyone has the money to replace systems so this is something that alot of people would love to have as well as having something else to offer the customer besides replacement. It is agreed that a properly running system has no need for the stuff, but in places like south texas, flordia, georgia, there is a need for colder systems than what can currently be achieved with existing refrigerants.
Something I've always wondered about when it comes to products like this.
If it strips the boundery layer of oil off the insides of the tubing, how does it know not to strip the lubricating oil film off the moving parts of the compressor?If more government is the answer, then it's a really stupid question.

Question for guest Really? You say that you bought some a few months ago and then two sentences later you say that it has been in your system for four years now. Really?
comment to Mark Beiser. Very shrewd observation.
I am interested in this product because a local company is marketing it.
To paraphrase the Bible, I want to believe but help me with my unbelief.
As soon as I can get my hands on some of this I will post the results.
08-03-2012, 11:33 PM #9but in places like south texas, flordia, georgia, there is a need for colder systems than what can currently be achieved with existing refrigerants.
with that being said, i'd prefer not to use any additives for residential or commercial, just because if the system is designed correctly and properly functioning then it is bound to decrease efficiency in some way.
I would have NO problem dumping that into my car however.
I would love to hear more info, maybe find 2 identical units and run them together one with, one without.... I DUNNO.. I'm skeptical. Compressor lifetime, electrical efficiency... so much to consider. sorry for rant, but I would like to hear more.

In my opinion, You are probably someone with vested interest in Icecold, your comment is as transparent as your intentions. Not to mention you are so dumb (careless) by easily providing plenty of evidence of your buffoonery and duplicitousness in the comment.
Some case and point, of your spam post to try to trick and manipulate people into thinking icecold is anything more than snakeoil or at the very best a temporary boost to ac units with some serious long term negative potential on the units mechanisms. See my original post where I listed its components, they are not stable and will not maintain the effect that is claimed, that is simple chemistry.
1) "I purchased some icecold a few months back " "ive had this stuff in my ac for four years now" contradict yourself much?
2) "in places like south texas, flordia, georgia, there is a need for colder systems than what can currently be achieved with existing refrigerants" are you a retard? You do not think existing refrigerants and units can handle the heat of the south?
3) "I have reduced my ac bill by about 14% and my house is always comfortable" I think that the whole thing about it lowering your ac bill is complete garbage, unless you are the one person who gets a separate electricity bill for their ac unit than the rest of their house. Maybe at one time when first adding in the product you tested the ac units run time or amperage draw or something, but that itself is still very difficult to gauge without a control. The idea though to say it lowered your ac bill is just so dumb.
4) Further this comment of yours is worded to lead one to think that this product can make existing refrigerants and units blow out colder air while using less energy. So this icecold product defies the laws of thermodynamics? I mean you are saying that it makes a unit blow out colder air in hotter environments (the comment about texas, georgia etc needing something colder than what refrigerant is on the market, and since this is an additive not a refrigerant replacement) but you also said that it has lowered your ac bill by 14%. So it both makes a unit blow out colder air (which would need more energy) and it lowers your electricity bill, which means it is using less energy.

IceCold user - having trouble...
Hey, Yall!
My husband heard an ad for IceCold on the radio here in Georgia a few of months ago. So he had me do some research into having it installed. Turns out that only one company "owns" the product & thus the rights to install it: Dixie Home Crafters. Filled out their online form to get info & they set an appt to meet me & husband for a "short consult." 3-4 hours later, we agreed to have the product installed in our home a/c and my truck (plus have insulation blown in the "attic" and have some kind of film put on 2 of the LR windows). The price for which was steep in my opinion, but what do I know about the industry, right?
During the consultation I asked 2 specific questions:
1) Is it toxic?
2) Do you use sub-contractors to do the work?
I'm glad someone on here has confirmed that the product isn't toxic. But I was disappointed that they had 3 different people do the work. On installed the IceCold, another blew in the insulation, and yet another applied the film on the windows. The latter 2 were obviously sub-contractors, because the vehicles they drove up in had different company names on the sides!!!
Anyway, that wasn't enough to ban them from my home.
This was mid July (2012), and in the past 2 months, the air definitely blows out of the vents colder. At home, I have to have the thermostat turned up a degree higher during the day to keep from freezing while I work (I work from home on the computer.) And the truck a/c fan gets turned down then the temp turned "down" (to a warmer setting) often, because the air is too cold.
Here's where the trouble starts... A week or 2 later, the compressor froze up. The only other time that's ever happened was when the filter got so dirty that the system couldn't get enough air into the intake vent (which is where the filter is). (Hard lesson learned, so it gets replaced on schedule.) So, I checked date on the filter to confirm that it was ok, and it was only 17 days since it was installed new. Since that time, the compressor has frozen up several times. Just this past week, now that the outside temps have dropped into the 60s & 50s at night, this has happened 3 times. And we can't sleep with the windows open (as I prefer) because my husband has pretty bad allergies ("hay fever" he says). The effect on the power bill has been negligent. I suspect that it's partially due to the fact that the a/c unit continues to run, but not produce any cold air because the compressor is frozen, thus the home never cools off, thus the a/c unit never shuts off... Until I turn it off because I notice that it's hot in the house but the a/c is running wide open!
I've tried to call the company, but the office numbers (on the business cards that were given to us) ring once the inform me that the person I'm trying to reach cannot be reached & hangs up. I've called the cell phone (also on the card) for the sales person who did the demonstration/consultation, but only get voice mail. This doesn't look very good.
So... my question is, could it really be the IceCold that's freezing up the compressor? If so, what can be done to prevent it?
There is likely a problem unrelated to that additive. Call another company.

It is the media who gets to decide whether scandals matter or not. While the media isn't ignoring the whole Blagojevich cess pool, we're not getting the steady drip drip on some of these other scandals. For example, The Wall Street Journal points out that Chris Dodd is still serving as Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee despite clear indications that he received sweetheart deals from Countrywide Financial which was just purchased by Bank of America which Dodd oversees. And Dodd, despite his promises, has still not released the details on the cozy loans he received as a Friend of Angelo at Countrywide.
With the opening of the 111th Congress yesterday, all of Washington is tingling with the allure of a fresh start. Not so fast. We've got some leftover business from the 110th Congress -- namely, Chris Dodd's July 2008 promise to release the details of his sweetheart loans from Countrywide Financial.Contrary to Ms. Fairbanks, this is a scandal that involves the Senate Democratic leaders because they allow Dodd to remain as chairman despite such a conflict of interests. You can add in the House Democrats keeping Charlie Rangel in his place as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee responsible for writing tax laws despite his constellation of scandals, some of which involve tax evasion. Then there is the suspicious circumstances of his preserving a tax loophole for an oil drilling company at the same time that the chief executive of the company donated a million dollars to the Charles B. Rangel School of Public Service at City College of New York. It's not really much different from Blagojevich's whole pay to play schemes in Illinois.
[Review & Outlook] AP
The Connecticut Senator got favored treatment from the subprime mortgage purveyor, even as he was a power broker on the Banking Committee that regulates the industry. When the news broke, the Senator first denied that he sought or expected preferential treatment. He later admitted that he knew he was considered a VIP at the firm but claimed he thought it was "more of a courtesy." He also promised the Connecticut press that he'd come clean with the documents and details of the loans. But six months later -- nada, zip, nothing.
The rest of the press corps may have moved on, but we'd still like to know. All the more so because former Countrywide Financial loan officer Robert Feinberg told us last fall that Mr. Dodd knowingly saved thousands of dollars on his refinancing of two properties in 2003 as part of a special program for the influential. Mr. Feinberg also reported that he has internal company documents that prove Mr. Dodd knew he was getting preferential treatment as a friend of Angelo Mozilo, Countrywide's then-CEO, and Mr. Feinberg has offered to provide those documents to investigators.
Just before Mr. Dodd made his promise, Bank of America closed its acquisition of Countrywide and Mr. Dodd has continued to oversee BofA and the rest of the mortgage industry as Chairman of Senate Banking. He will now play a lead role in drafting legislation affecting the very business that gave him preferential treatment, yet he still refuses to release the mortgage documents that would illuminate this treatment.
But these are Democratic committee chairman so I guess Fairbanks is right and they don't matter. What really connects all these Democratic and Republican scandals is that they involve people in power taking advantage of their power to behave in ways that we ordinary folk couldn't get away with.

Fallen Enchantress has several different levels of difficulty. The AI doesn't "cheat" in the sense that it plays by a different set of rules. The difficulty rules have to do with what resources the players get. At Normal, the AI is the same as the human player which is, arguably not fair to the AI (since humans tend to load saved games and have, one presumes, gotten familiar with quests, mob milling and other strategies.
I tend to think "Challenging" is the fairest to the AI since all the AI really gets there is a little HP boost.
Anyway, today I'm testing out a series of 1 on 1 battles to see how easily I can cream the AI at different levels. To make it fun for me, I usually try to minimize the number of turns it takes to crush it.
My strategy:
Find a champion to join me, go monster hunting to raise level. Find AI and kill him.
It is, admittedly, hard for the AI to deal with rushes. Not to mention, it's hard strategically to decide when to attack an enemy city versus defending one of your own. Each play through I end up adding new parameters to the various AI functions to have it spit out, I hope, more intelligent responses.
Game 17 is the result of many many hours of this kind of iteration. I typically beat the AI within 50 turns (depending on starting locations – the AI had graduated to random maps at this point).
Victory in 36 turns.
(2 hours of coding later)
This one took a lot longer to win because the AI managed to snag two champions early and bottled me up. So I had to build up more first.
It did still expose some dumb AI decision making in the sense that it over defended it city area at the cost of expanding its empire.
So this would be the first real test of the tactical combat improvements.
So my strategy here was to stand back and cast haste on my units. Have my archers weaken them and then mop up.
Relias wasn't in this battle (the enemy sovereign) which would be his doom. Without any champions in the city, it was easy. After that, whack.
In Fallen Enchantress, there aren't many champions (I had none, just my sovereign in that game). But let me show you how powerful they are:
More coding…
(game 19 aborted)
This game I got a particularly good spot. 4 grain, 4 materials. That's really hitting the jackpot (a normal good city would be like 3 grain, 2 materials).
Victory in 65 turns.
(it's a real challenge to tell the AI when it should expand and when it should hunker down without it requiring tons of work and CPU time).
Not quite as nice as my last game but still decent.
The problem, once again, is that it is very difficult for a 1 on 1 contest to end any other way when I'm intentionally mounting up for an attack.
However, the thing is, the game design should be such that it's relatively easy, early on, to keep players from just doing this.
I think one problem is my use of an early game weapon enchantment (burning blade) that simply grants a numerical bonus to attack rather than a %.
On the other hand, what's stopping the AI from using it?
coding coding coding…
Really REALLY need put some time into having the Spell data hooked up to the AI better. They're all set at 5.
Victory in 70 turns.
Strategic spell coding…
25 aborted…
Game 26: Normal AI
In this game, it took me 40 turns before I found the other player.
Victory in 46 turns. I think there's a bug with faction prestige for AI players.
Win after 90 turns
AI still casting stupid strategic spells.
Not a bad starting location except I'm right next to Wildlands.
Getting better.
Took 30 turns to find AI. AI had 2 cities and was effectively using them against me when I did my sneak attack.
Took 100 turns to win.
Fixed some bugs in the way spells are evaluated and distances evaluated.
[To be ccontinued…8:30pm]
Game 29: Normal AI
Up against a mountain. But good resources.
This time, when I encounter Altar, very early on, they're slightly ahead of me (power rating 6 to 5).
This time, they can't be just knocked over.
My concern now is that rushed for Civics to get Rush build and they spent their money.
I can't take them though. So no riding rough shod this time. The question is, will they be able to expand faster than me?
The other thing the AI is struggling with is how much to be worried about monsters. On the one hand, you don't want the monsters to take out the AI players enmasse but on the other, you need the AI to take some risk.
This time, my attempt to rush them has cost me the lead. Altar (AI) has taken an early lead.
And worse, my champion died in battle (they can die, it's just extremely rare).
Monsters took out one of my towns.
OK. This isn't good for me. I've never seen this before. I normally kill the AI before he gets horses.
My capital just got taken by monsters.
Getting placed near wildlands means more goodies but you gotta defend them better too. I didn't.
This just get worse..
Son of a bitch…
And so where my capital is they sent in pioneers to take it.
I'll take it back.
And I did.
Relias (AI) vs. Me.
1 on 1.
I win.
He hasn't picked up as many good weapons as I have.
And he hasn't shopped enough.
So he's definitely not anywhere near perfect.
But right now…he is winning.
[Reminder: all tactical battles are on the same brown map for now in my build]
And here…come the archers.
So it's just me (and pioneers) against his small army.
He never had a chance. I'm Sauron!
Unfortunately the damn Shrill Lord took out the city I had captgured earlier.
I started another city there…
Shrill Lord got it again.
I'm gonna kill that thing!
Quickie video of how powerful my sovereign is (too powerful?)
My opinion here is that my sovereign has too much HP. I like that he can mow down units, but it's kind of crazy that he has over 120 HP (compared to just a few for others). Should probably be about half that with the player packing health potions and such.
[12:00am] TO be continued…
So there are 5 cities in the world at this point. I have 2, the AI has 3.
The problems with the AI that are affecting its play in this particular game include:
(1) Its researching isn't very good. This is a known issue that is due to the AITraits not being hooked up yet. This means its armies aren't as big as they could be.
(2) AI is too timid to send a major force around my strong point (I don't have a choke hold) to attack my vulnerable rear city (I have a weak city and a strong city but the strong city is relatively close to their capital and they're not sending units to attack the weak city because that would leave the capital city potentially vulnerable – but not really, they have a lot bigger army than I do).
I probably shouldn't quibble too much since it's not looking very good for me. The issue here is that players don't usually have the opportunity to build up overwhelming force like this. If the monsters hadn't taken out my capital, I'd not have let them get this far.
OK, I'm completely surrounded with only 1 town. It's a bit of a stalemate because my sovereign is just so powerful.
OK, the AI finally won.
The AI is getting better but the monsters were as much the AI's helper. You can see where we were neck and neck right until one of my cities got taken down by the Shrill Lord. So really it wasn't a 1 on 1 battle, it was AI + Shrill Lord vs. me. Still, progress.
Now to spend the next couple of hours implementing fixes and additions to the AI based on what I saw.
Good night!
1:42 am, signing off.
Tactical battles look really fun!
Maybe it is possible to emulate human thinking with probabilities? Order the list of decisions based on what is good for the AI (make some sort of metric for this). When the computer orders this list based on your metric, and assigns a number to each option, normalize it so they become probabilities. You would get something likes "Defend city from strong player town: 60%,Attack weakest city : 30%, others: 10%". Then make the computer randomly decide upon the top two, based on their probabilities. This might emulate the decision intuition that the human mind has. Maybe make a threshold, so that if the first option is 90%, the rest of the other options aren't chosen.
The difficulty with probabilities is you have to have some randomization of the probabilities from game to game or the AI remains predictable.
Also Brad doesn't like scripting in AI's. (I think scripting makes some sense in 100% no-brainer situations, but it does hurt modding)
What time does Game #30 start?
There's a catch to that. If starting locations are very valuable, then it adds more emphasis on rushing. You'd need that extra bonus for yourself if you want to win.
I'm all for giving extra sight distance or other invisible bonuses. I wouldn't give the AI full access to the map, because that could lead to non-fun events. It's nice to meet AI explorers instead of meeting a huge army on the doorstep of the single colony you left with weak defenses at your rear areas.
That's ok on the hardest difficulty level imo. I want FE to kick my ass! Agree on lower difficulty levels players would not want that...
Thanks for the update.
2 Questions:
Question - Is there a single AI or will AI players have a chance to use a different AI each game? I.e. AI 1 and AI 2 use the standard melee focused AI, while AI 3 is guided by a magic focused AI in game two. In game 2; AI 1 follows a mount strategy AI while AI 2 and AI 3 use the standard melee AI.
Question - Will the player be able to design new fraction (Sovereign) specific AIs?
The game is looking really nice. Thanks for sharing the development process with us like this.
My BIG concern is still the bloody balance. The champions and sov's look like insta-win all over again. Please please please make their effect important by all means - but not game-breaking which is what it looks like now. I would have thought a boost to adjacent troops would be good. And by boost I'm talking 10 to 20 percent - not 300 percent which is what would have happened in WoM. But having champions destroying whole armies is just going to kill this game before it even begins. What is the point of recruiting troops if champions can dish out that sort of damage?
As I said at the start, the game itself is looking good but seeing this imbalance is really leaving me worried - very worried! You said in a recent post that one of the big lessons you have learned is that 'less is more'. Please take heed of that with regards champions. It doesn't look like the 'less is more' has made it to champions and sovereigns.
Really hope I'm wrong about this.
Historically, if an army commander/king dies untrained levies tended to break and run. If a sovereign falls in battle will his troops be affected? Will they panic, will they run, will their combat strength be affected or will their initiative be impaired for the duration of the battle?
@Das - Like I said in the blog, I felt champions / sovereigns were OP'd.
The issue IMO is not so much how much damage they can do but more like how much damage they take.
The cause is pretty obvious - lots of level up upgrades include constitution bonuses which are just too powerful.
BTW, in November, the issue was the opposite - the champions were pointless. It's just a matter of balance. That's why we iterate and iterate.
Gonna take me a bit of time to put in all the changes.
There's still so much to do. One of the biggest changes to FE over anything I've worked on before is the sheer number of treaties. Rather than monkeying around endlessly with AI on "trading" I've instead put that time into coming up with treaties that players can have with one another. (and before anyone ask, no, I'm not going to screw around with resource trading or tech trading, it ain't happening, it's a black hole that could be spent on lots of interesting diplomacy stuff and smarter AI overall).
Having lots of different treaties in the game will give players an incentive to be on good terms with other players as well as allow other players to effectively gang up on whoever they consider a huge threat.
Thanks for the clarification, Brad.
One thing I don't understand is how you can develop and reach conclusions about the AI before all the AI is actually working and hooked up (AITraits)?
The traits are likely weights that make one type of AI more likely to choose one option in front of the others. What he's developing is the basic AI from which the other AIs will come. So rather than making 10 different AIs, he's making 1 Ai that can act in 10 different ways.
Hi AlLan!
Definitely want to get that ass-kicking from the AI too
I really appreciate seeing the time and effort Brad is able to commit to the game. Makes me feel warm inside.. probably the fever starting to rise already.. I still haven't even got the game and the disease is hitting, omg it's that bad!!
Agreed. This seems like it might be an important step in the process.
Perhaps, an intelligence sharing treaty? So that my sovereign sees enemy units spotted by a friendly sovereign?
Perhaps, gaining the services of an allied champion for x months (turns)? Break the treaty and this champion leaves your service early. Lose a battle and this champion returns to his original lord.
Perhaps, loaning the services of your Kingdom's champion to an ally for x turns, for so long as the ally only battles forces of the Empire. (A way to indirectly oppose a fraction, without going to war against the fraction).
Perhaps, loaning a unit of veteran warriors (not untrained militia) to an ally for x turns. (another way to oppose a fraction without going to war against the fraction).
Well I'm a huge fan of resource trading and economics but if it really takes a lot of effort to implement right then you are probably better off spending the time on something else. The inability of AIs in WoM to work together to take down powerful players was a huge problem and would definitely be a priority.
If you don't want to have active resource trading between players what about more automatic stuff. When it comes to trading the caravan system in Elemental is marvelous because it is so simple yet realistic. I can recommend a simple little change to caravans that would add a lot of depth without requiring practically any AI work.
I like this & the trade city idea above
I think trading with resources would be simple and useful, if not necessary.
IE: I need metal and I have plenty of gold. My ally needs gold and has an abundance of metal. We trade one for the other. Why is this so difficult or unsavory?
I think he was referring to over-time trade treaties like "I will give you five gold per turn for 30 turns" and such. I don't think they will be removing the existing ability to trade resources, since metal is so important that would be weird.
I believe what he means in general is that you won't be able to do complex trades involving cities, blackmailing, champions, techs, etc. Instead there will be generic treaties that accomplish similar things. ie you can't trade techs but you can enter into research treaties. Perhaps you can't blackmail the AI for 90 gold per turn but there is a "surrender" treaty that forces them to pay a set amount of their income. Things like that.
Most treaties will probably work like in Sins, so that they give a multiplier to both players allowing players with good diplomacy to have tangible benefits. It also offers incentives to players to seek alliances even if they are not military. Its a good system if done right.
Love it! My eternal desire for all 4X games since I played Civ 1 is to have more intricate diplomacy.
"Need" is a 3 month coding process, minimum otherwise you'd just have players exploiting it. I've written this kind of AI for decades and it's a time sink, and for what? It's not even very fun.
By contrast, treaties ARE fun because there's a lot of interesting choices (you can only have 1 treaty in effect, you can't have the same treaty with every player). They affect your relations, they give both sides benefits, they are just great tools to make the game more interesting.
Hmm, you can't have the same treaty with every player? Will Diplomacy tech upgrade the value of those treaties? I always felt the GC2 treaties were a good idea that needed more work, but didn't work that well in WOM, so curious to see what the changes are.
I really would like to see a dev diary on this stuff and how it works.
One thing I would like to see is tech diffusion via treaties. Having treaties with an empire makes it easier to research techs they know.

Silver Spring -- There is strong support for later high school start times from all parts of Montgomery County and from a wide variety of stakeholders, according to a report released today by the Lloyd Society, an independent, non-profit, research center. The report analyzes the responses to an on-line petition requesting that high school start times be delayed by one hour in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). The petition was circulated by the Montgomery County Chapter of Start School Later, a national advocacy organization.
As a result of the petition, which was presented to the MCPS Board of Education on Dec. 11, Superintendent Joshua Starr established a working group on school start times, which meets for the first time today.
"This report provides a number of insights that can be useful to the working group," said Ann Gallagher, board chair of the Lloyd Society and author of the report. "Our analysis found that signers came from every area in the county and represent a cross section of all groups involved with teenagers and the school system. I was also impressed by how much petition supporters were familiar with the research documenting the negative impact of sleep deprivation on teenagers." In addition to her role at the Lloyd Society, Gallagher is an adjunct professor of science at the Catholic University of America and the outreach chair of the Montgomery County Chapter of Start School Later.
The petition garnered 10,223 signatures in 12 weeks. Signers included school faculty and staff, students, parents of students, sleep experts, doctors, and mental health professionals. About a quarter of responders left comments explaining the reasons for their support for later start times.
"We still have some years until our kids are in high school, but as a coach at a Montgomery County high school I see on a first hand basis how exhausted these high school kids are each day," noted one petition signer.
Overwhelmingly, signatures come from Montgomery County residents, 98.4% of the total. Support for the petition came from every part of the county, corresponding to distribution of the overall population. But even for those who live outside the county, most have local ties, including former MCPS students and parents, as well as health practitioners that treat county residents.
Petition signers expressed concern over the physical and mental health effects of sleep deprivation and its impact on academic performance.
"I could not focus on or learn the material that was being taught to me in school. I truly believe I would have picked a different major in college if I had been awake enough in high school to realize how much I loved science," wrote one signer.
A few commented about safety issues, expressing concerns about teens traveling to and from school in the dark, cars hitting students, girls waiting at bus stops in the dark, and the general practice of students driving while sleepy.
One student reported that "as a student in the Blair magnet program, I had to drive or be driven three miles to my bus stop every morning at 6:30 am, which at one point resulted in me hitting a tree. Though I was not seriously injured, this sort of ridiculous morning could easily be prevented with a little less sleep deprivation and a little more time to actually wake up in the morning."
A number of comments came from health professionals and therapists expressing support for the petition, based both on experience with patients and their own children.
"Many of my patients who have eating disorders report using food to wake themselves up during school because they are so tired," said a therapist in Kensington.
Students, parents and teachers indicated that first period was especially problematic. Many students are chronically late. Others are not awake or are unable to absorb the lessons.
"My son has Spanish first period," a parent from Takoma Park reported. "At back to school night, the teacher told us that she could not teach our kids. The kids are asleep!"
The establishment of the working group has given hope to supporters of later start times that their concerns have been heard and that the county will look for ways to address them.
"It's about time to do something," commented a Bethesda resident. "Our children are getting sick from not sleeping enough. They can't concentrate on their homework in the afternoon because they are tired, thus needing more and more time to finish it. They sit for hours on their homework. This leads to even later bed time. Our children have rarely more than 6 or seven hours of sleep per night, which is absolutely not enough. We need to do something about it and find a workable solution."

Start School Later is a coalition of health professionals, sleep scientists, educators, parents, students, and other concerned citizens dedicated to increasing public awareness about the relationship between sleep and school hours and to ensuring school start times compatible with health, safety, education, and equity.

My 9th grade Blair English students wrote the following comments to this article:
I think later start times would not be better for kids. Later start times wouldn't be better because everyone would still be tired from just waking up anyway. Kids also wouldn't have time for after school activities like sports because starting later would mean getting dismissed later and it would be dark by the time everyone gets home. In the article, it says, "My son has Spanish first period... the whole class is asleep." Getting an extra hour of sleep wouldn't really benefit kids anyway. They would still sleep in class because they are bored or want to leave school, not because they are tired.
The school starting time shouldn't start later. Although students would concentrate in school and wouldn't be tired, their safety would be put at risk. Most afterschool activities end at 5 and with a later start time they will end even later. That means students will have to walk home or wait for the public bus in the dark. Students could get sexually harassed or worse. We already have to stress about schoolwork; we don't need to worry about our safety either. Yes, we can call our parents to pick us up, but what if they don't answer? There will be no other option but to walk home or wait for the (usually late) public bus. Would you really risk your child's safety just for a better night's sleep? I don't think it's worth it.

And more...
I think school should start later because students would have more time to sleep. Every first period the teachers may have troubles teaching because the students are sleeping. Students don't get enough sleep, they don't focus in class, and they don't get their work done. Also, students would have enough time in the morning to get ready and eat breakfast, which is the most important meal of the day. Right now, students wake up really early and they have so much to do in such little time, which can make them late for school or miss their bus. Getting to school late can make the student miss the lesson of their first class, and that would be a problem because the student would be behind. Students don't have enough time at home to do their homework because sometimes they have so much to do and they end up going to bed late. Going to bed late can lead to less sleep and that's a bad thing because we need at least 8 hours of sleep to function well.

Good points! I remember hating having to get up so early in the morning. But when the class was interesting, that helped a lot. Senior year, I had calculus at 7:40 a.m. every morning, all year. I thought I was going to die when I saw that schedule. But calculus surprised me in being very interesting, so I actually was awake just about all the time. It was Russian class, which was often right after lunch (and near the end of the day, yet not quite the last class of the day), when I would start to get really sleepy, but that might have been in part because the Russian classroom had no windows, and the pace of the class was a bit too slow for my liking. So, in my experience, there were definitely other factors at work beside the start time.

12:34 pm on Thursday, March 7, 2013
And another says:
MCPS should really consider starting school later. I'm sure almost all students will agree with me. For example, a student petition signer says, "I could not focus on or learn the material that was being taught to me." This shows that many kids are going to school for no reason. By saying that I mean, what's the point of going to school if you're not going to learn, and instead go to sleep and not be able to focus? Not only students agree with me, even the student's parents do. For example, a parent says, "At back to school night, the teacher told us that she could not teach our kids. The kids are asleep." The parent is really concerned that her child has a chance of not succeeding just because they didn't get enough sleep. That is why MCPS should start school later.

Thanks for sharing the kids' comments! Very insightful.
Holly Stephens
9:22 am on Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Thanks, Laura! I'm glad that these kids are choosing to speak publicly on this topic. Here's another:
Personally I think school should start later because like stated in the text the early start to school disrupts the natural sleeping cycle of teenagers. Naturally we can't make ourselves go to sleep anytime before around 10 and having to wake up so early does nothing but exhaust us and in return we're not as rested and focused as we should be. Elementary and Middle School children, unlike high school kids, can go to sleep earlier and are able to wake up earlier so the middle school time and high school start times should be switched to better fit each age group.

Thanks for the recipe! Here in California your sinasplit are called fifty fifty bars. Love them!
Still on a major smoothie binge! Having fun trying to come up with new flavors. Kiddo and I really like 'Jayden's Smoothie', but lately I have another favorite as well.
While growing up we had ice creams called 'Sinasplit'. Not sure if they still sell them, but basically it was a creamy vanilla ice stick covered in orange flavored water ice. Water ice is just a layer of water-based, non-dairy and flavored ice. The combination was so incredible—not just the flavors were perfect together, but also the vanilla cream against the cool water ice. Yum.
One sip of this smoothie took me back 25 years in time. The flavor is very much alike that of a sinasplit. Ever since I first tasted it, I find myself making this one over and over again. Probably just a sad and desperate attempt on my part to stay young through the flavors of my childhood :)
1 cup milk
1/3 cup yogurt
3 tangerines
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 frozen banana
Optional: orange juice
It's so simple and fast. That's what I love about smoothies. Just a few basic ingredients. I've used low fat yogurt and milk. C'mon, with the holidays coming up, I better watch what I eat and drink now :)
I got the tip over in my other smoothie posting to freeze bananas in stead of using ice cubes. Tried it, froze slices so I could use the banana in portions. It worked but I'm not all too crazy about how it turned out, so next time I'll go back to my own ice cubes and fresh bananas.
My tangerines were terribly sweet, so I've only used 3 of them. Feel free to add more. You can also use an orange or two, which is also incredibly tasty. Peel the tangerines and be fast before you find yourself either chasing them around the house or picking them out of grubby little hands.
Use your blender or food processor and add the tangerines, banana, 1 cup of milk, 1/3 cup yogurt and 1/2 tsp vanilla essence. If you don't have frozen bananas just add 3 ice cubes. If you like it sweet, you can add some sugar or honey, I never do. You can also add about 1/4 cup of orange juice, that works wonders, too! I just ran out of it.
Now all that's left to do is pulse and watch it turn into a soft orange concoction. You're done.
I love smoothies. They're so simple, fast, fresh and beautiful.
Thanks for the recipe! Here in California your sinasplit are called fifty fifty bars. Love them!
sticking to the sinasplit theme- it was one of my favorite ices when i was growing up! only, in india we called them ice duets (i have no clue why) and the flavors were always mango ice with vanilla ice cream and raspberry ice with vanilla!
Hi, I am a fellow food lover and entertainer. I read your blog and just love the photography. You must be a professional food photographer. Anyways back to the smoothie, in the midwest U.S. they are called creamsicles and they are lovely. They remind me of childhood also. I also have a request for you, my entire family is of dutch heritage and growing my grandmother made these lovely pastries she called almond tarts, do you have a recipe for these?
Looks amazing! I think my children would love them. In the southern US your Sinasplit is called a creamsicle. You can still get them. This also reminds me of Orange Julius. These were/are? small stands in malls or shopping centers that sold a similar orange and dairy smoothie.
In Canada it was called a Creamsicle too. My favourite after the fudgesicle. I'm am going to try this one with my kids.
I love the photo's with Jayden's pudgy little hands. VERY cute.
Hi Kay,
And yes, here in southern US we call it Creamsicle. My favorite. This will be a great b'fast, or snack esp on a hot afternoon.
Love you pictures like everyone else.
Ok if your not a food photographer maybe you should consider it. I'm a classically trained chef and your photos are some of the best food photography i've seen in a long time, you capture the essence of the food. The tarts I requested may be a dutch american treat, they are small tarts with I think almond paste as a filling but have not been able to find the recipe. Thank you.
You do bring back wonderful memories with this one – We called them either creamsicles or 50/50 bars… I love seeing those little fingers in your photo :)
Dear Kay, you can still buy sinasplit in the Netherlands. Just try at Plus or Albert Heijn. You can also buy the knock-off version at Liddl.
There's an alcoholic drink in the states you can buy that tastes exactly like this. I wish I remembered what it's called. I've yet to see the ice cream bars in Canada, maybe one day I'll be surprised.
If I had a blender.. I'd make one of these right now!
Sinasplit's sound an awful lot like what is called a creamsicle in the US. http://www.slashfood.com/2008/06/14/orange-freeze-the-origin-of-the-creamsicle/
Ahhh yes – the creamsicle! Yum! Hagen Das had a vanilla ice cream with an orange sherbet swirl in it that was delish too! Now a smoothie shop called Jamba Juice makes one similar – orange dream machine. Now I have a craving! I will have to get a blender…
Oh I love the way you said that, "stay young through the flavors of my childhood" – that's the way I think of a creamsicle too! We love smoothies in this house and you've reminded me it's time to get out the blender again!
Hmmm, I can almost smell how sweet this smoothie is! Yummy!
Sure looks yummy, Kay! I can't wait to try it…we could really use the extra vitamin C with the cold & flu season upon us. I remember (and loved) Orange Julius and also enjoy creamsicles. When I get the craving for one but don't have the time to make it, I go to Jamba Juice and get an Orange Dream Machine (like Jackie, up above). Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm! It's not listed on their menu anymore, but they still make it. Ah, but nothing beats home-made! Sara is right…it's time to break out the blender!
Anyway, your photography is just breathtaking, as always, Kay!
I think it looks and sounds so tasty. I know my kids would love this!
I made this yesterday and YUMMMMMMEEEEE !!!
However I blended with a "stick"; as it turned out wasn't strong enough to mulch the tangerine membranes.
Food processor next time
I live in Texas, and the orange/vanilla bars at our school cafeteria were called Dreamsicles! Yum! I wish I could find that exact brand, but, for now, the Blue Bell ice cream version will have to do!
Ahhh Creamsicles/Dreamsicles. Gave me heartburn as a child but I loved them anyway. You can still buy them in Canada. They come in other flavours now too but I haven't tried them.
I found a recipe a while back that called for frozen orange juice concentrate and promised it would be like a creamsicle. It was as disgusting as I was afraid it might me. I will certainly be trying your version. Anything is better than concentrated orange juice!
That alcoholic drink that looks much like this sounds like a Tequila Sunrise. I used to make them when I drank for a lot of my friends but since I stopped drinking I have lost the recipe.
I still remember making them for a friend's wife and kept telling her they were sneaky and a lot stronger than they seemed but she would not listen. He told me she did not get out of bed for 3 days after than because she had such a hangover. They did go down so easy and they did taste a lot like this smoothie sounds but boy did they ever sneak up on you. Worst hangover I ever had other than the time I got one on cheap wine.

The working title of Tomomatsu's latest movie project is "Rape Zombie 2" ("Reipu zonbi 2").
BTW, it turns out that my reading of the last word in the title of Iguchi's aforementioned movie in the Kaidan Shin Mimibukuro series was correct, and that of a number of Japanese websites (e.g., the Yubari Fanta one, Japanese Wikipedia, and the since-revised Japanese Horror Movies Database) was incorrect; the word in question is "igyô", not "ikei". The official website for Kaidan Shin Mimibukuro: igyô is now online, although at present it's just a home page.

12. | chameleon | ||
1) a person who is not a loyal individual. a person who talks shit about person a when he/she is in the company of person b and talks shit about person b when he/she is in the company of person a. a person who is superficially a good friend.
2) also can be used to describe actions that are of a disloyal nature. 3) also can be used an exclamation when an action is of a disloyal nature antonym: cheetah 1) She's always doing things like that behind her so-called friends' backs - she's such a chameleon.
2) She definitely lied...that was so chameleon. 3) (a friend just threw water in your face and you exclaim) "CHAMELEON!!" |
1. | Chameleon | ||
A person who adjusts themselves to fit into whatever happens to be cool at the moment. Includes their appearance, their interests, their opinions, their personalities. often reffered to as 'scenesters' 'try-too-hards' or 'idiots'. In lieu of the new emo fad, the chameleon bought a pink shirt, tight ball-squeezing jeans, cut his hair emo style, and parted it over the side, covering exactly 1/3 of his face.
2. | chameleon | ||
(v.) to take on the personality of the person you're with at the moment. this is either done subconsciously, or as a sad attempt to make people like you
(n.) a person who chameleons on a regular basis (i.e. they act different for every person they hang out with) girl 1: you were so hyper when we were hanging out with Pete, what was that about? you were acting just like him
girl 2: i can't help it, i'm a chameleon around guys |
3. | Chameleon | ||
A person who tries to blend in with a certain crowd, usually preps, just to get the satisfaction of being cool. Of course, they are just fooling themselves that they have a life and are at all interesting. "Dorothy is SUCH a chameleon now...it makes me sick."
4. | Chameleon | ||
A chameleon is a middle-sized reptile that can change colors.
They are rather bizarre-looking, because their eyes can point in different directions. They are famous for their ability to change their color to match their surroundings, hence the nickname, "Chameleon" given to anyone who changes with what's "Popular". me: I just saw a chameleon!
friend: oh, they are so lame! they think they have a life but they don't me: no, I mean the reptile |
5. | Chameleon | ||
A person who blends to a womans desire in order to win her over to fill his lustful desires You see a girl at the bar who is hot, emo, punk, goth, mexican, cacausian, black, asian, middle-class, upper-middle class, and or rich
You go and sit at the bar next to the lady You then engage in remote conversation about rich and successful your life is, but make sure to bend a different way to a different pop-culture if you know these won't be applicable At this point you have to have already figured out what backup intel you need to ensure that your not caught, because she is gonna wanna know your sources. Make sure not to go under yarns about anything personal or eventful, because 9 times outta 10 she might have an iPhone(come on people now days...Yeah iPhone owner) so make sure to be very vague, but not too vague. After getting a successful convo in buy her a drink of her choosing. After engaging in a real heart to heart, you are pretty much on the train to successful Chameleonism, but your not there yet. Make sure to always contour yourself, and almost resort to mimicry if applicable to keep her talking to you. Make sure to always dress according to who you wanna pick up the night. |
6. | chameleon | ||
a marijuana pipe that changes colors when smoked from dude, we smoked so much my chameleon turned purple!

ChristianBook eBooks on the Sony Reader
Have questions about eBooks? Check out our eBook FAQs. Product DescriptionGod doesn't call every Christian to go off to seminary, but there are certain matters of doctrine---that is, the church's teaching---that every Christian simply must know. Theology is important because what we believe affects how we live. If you're a relatively new believer in Jesus, or if you're a more mature Christian looking for a quick brush-up on basics of the faith, Christian Beliefs is for you.
This readable guide to twenty basic Christian beliefs is a condensation of Grudem's Systematic Theology. He and his son, Elliot, have boiled down the essentials of Christian theology for the average layperson and made them both clear and applicable to life. You will learn about the Bible, the characteristics of God, what it means that we are created in the image of God, what God has done for us in Christ, the purpose of the church, and much more. Each chapter includes questions for personal review or group discussion. Product Information

Tune In. We have both baseball and hockey on TV now. The Bruins just won seven straight games - six of those on the road - against top team. NESN received its highest hockey ratings with Thursday's game against the frightening Tampa Bay Lightning to take over second place in the conference. Penguins and Canadians on deck. Remember the last time the Bs played Montreal?
Lucic is in the midst of his best season yet and added a gaming-winning goal in the waning minutes of Thursday's game. That goal was a thing of beauty. With nearly all the players for both teams lumped into a pile in front of the net, Lucic calmly took the puck from the

PINNACLE — Incumbent Glenn Pruitt has launched his bid for re-election as a Soil and Water Conservation supervisor for Surry County. Pruitt lives in the Shoals community of Pinnacle and is in the last year of his first three-year term in the office of supervisor. Pruitt lives in rural Shoals with his wife, Wendy and their daughter, Gracie, who is 10. Pruitt has cattle and grows tobacco as well as hay and grass.
Question: What interested you in running?
Answer: "I enjoy helping farmers like myself," said Pruitt. "You want to preserve your farmland and conserve water. the folks over at Soil & Water are all good folks and they do a great job. It's (Soil & Water Conservation) a great thing for the county. I like to give back to the community. The board also helps community members with stream restorations and secured funding from the state for farmers, which is also important."
Question: What would you improve?
Answer: "We want to continue doing what we're doing now. A lot of state money is out there available to put back into agricultural practices that allow us to continue to be good stewards of the land."
Question: What are some important issues for you?
Answer: "God only gave us so much land and it's important we need to stop stripping down the land's fertility and keeping our water clean and our creeks clear of waste water. We have to take care of issues like this because we are all affected by water quality. You want to preserve your farm land and conserve water."
Question: Why should you be elected to this office?
Answer: "My interest is to look after my little county. I want to look after doing things in the best interest of Surry County. I'm a farmer just like my father and his father and I know what it takes to produce crops and looking after your neighbors and taking care of one another. I want to be sure we don't let erosion take the land's future away. A typical person doesn't know why soil and water are so important and there's a lot to it. Rural farmers are helped by people in the city and people in the city are helped by rural farmers. I hate to see anything happen to agriculture. Things we took for granted growing up, kids don't have now. "

The Nissan Micra has been around for a good many years but it is not really worth considering anything before 1992 when the second generation Micra was launched. This small car offers good performance and reasonable levels of refinement. It has a surprising amount of internal space, given its external dimensions and it is both reliable and economical. It is popular as a starter car.
A new generation Micra was launched in 2003 and this was a big improvement on previous versions. It is one of the best cars available in this class, boasting many advanced up to date features and offering excellent value for money. It is also very cheap to run.
There are some good engine options too and this is great car for getting around the town. There is good all round visibility, it is a great little car for negotiating in traffic and it is very easy to park. It will also handle rural roads and motorways without any problems, although if you are looking for a Micra for mainly out of town motoring, one of the more powerful petrol or diesel engines is recommended.
The latest Micra was launched in 2010 with an even more economical engine. This has a three cylinder 1.2 litre engine which develops 79bhp. There is the choice of a five speed manual gearbox or an automatic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
Although it is primarily a city car, this has not stopped the Micra being used in motorsport. The first sports outing was in 1987 and it has also competed in the RAC rally. There have also been a number of rally events called Micra Challenge which have been held all over Europe.
The Nissan Micra is a very popular car and there are generally a huge numbers on sale throughout the UK from approved Nissan dealers, independent traders and private sellers. No matter where you are in the UK, Motors.co.uk could find a deal on a used Nissan Micra near you.
