Arguments, that convince you, strong atheism is true. If you are not a strong atheist, but a weak one, don't argue with this question. its not for you. Its for the ones, that positively assert, most probably God does not exist. Please don't base it on a negative ( the bible is worthless etc....), but positive arguments, which do make strong atheism stand on its own right.

Hey Angelo,
the hipotheses that everything came from nothing would be the most extraordinary claim of all.
It isn't that everything came from nothing, it is that definition emerged from a lack of definition. And that is not semantics, that is a fact. And this is just repeating what has already been demonstrated repeatedly.

You want a universe that came from nothing Michael/Angelo? Here you go, not that you'll view it --
pax vobiscum,
Hey Archaeopteryx,
Thanks for that link. Krauss and Hawking are probably two of a very small list of scientists who are doing atheism a lot of good. I am grateful to them for their quiet, sobered and methodical approach to what amounts to mass deconversion. And Hawking is effective because his reputation is well established with the generla public; a critical factor almost all other scientists completely lack.

I don't know how many times i have seen atheists post this video as it would constitute compelling, rational evidence that the universe came from nothing.
Just ridioulous....its sad that intelligent people do believe that such a pathetic explanation should be held reasonable and compelling. That isnst much more than science fiction. Dr.Spock included......
By your own quotation, "A quantum vacuum is thus far from nothing, and vacuum fluctuations do not constitute an exception to the principle that whatever begins to exist has a cause," - "whatever begins to exist has a cause" - ergo, if your god exists, by your own (borrowed), "words," he/she/it must have a cause, which brings us back to the original question, who created god?
Deflect away, M/A!
(BTW, I couldn't help noticing, in your two original paragraphs above, how much your vocabulary and sentence structure has improved - how many of you little Fundies are there, hovering around the laptop, taking turns at playing Michael/Angelo?)
pax vobiscum,
which brings us back to the original question, who created god?
nobody. God exists without beginning, and without end.
God exists without beginning, and without end.
Which logically proves that "he" cannot and does not exist at all. Bravo sir, you have answered your original question yet again.
To borrow a phrase from you and your ilk:
And you know this how? Were you there?
Hey Angelo,
....its sad that intelligent people do believe that such a pathetic explanation should be held reasonable and compelling
And it is equally sad that some adherents are so thoroughly mind controlled that they cannot acknowledge that every word out of their mouths is utterly meaningless because their terminology is undefined.
And most of them have more than enough intellect to understand why a statement based on undefined terms is itself meaningless. I'm asking you again to please define the terms I've proven in this thread to be undefined so that we can advance the covnersation.

There is absolutely no reason, other than emotionally driven imaginative conjecture, for the existence, outside of the human brains imagination, of an entity that does not begin to exist, especially an entity with a personality and super but brainless intelligence. In other words, it is necessary to use the logical fallacy of Special Pleading to make your argument.
The argument is not based on any empirical or otherwise valid evidence that things that never begin to exist CAN and DO, in fact, exist. It requires wishful thinking to imagine that they do. Whatever the cause of this particular universe there is no GOOD reason to suppose that its laws were broken by the a unique, but empirically unprovable exception that has always existed outside of time and space but is, never the less, capable of interacting with whatever is in time and space while remaining invisible during any period when scientific methods of truth discovery are used.
Hey Michael,
Thanks, it is very useful for me. This kind of argumentation has been used in counter apologetics quite informally as its impact is pretty strong on adherents. Basically, as you read what are clearly fictitious, wacky narratives of other god's it soon becomes apparent to them that when you get to *their* sacred text you're pretty much reading the same thing. And of course, the narratives you select are quite similar. For example, I've read the Epic of Gilgamesh to adherents to describe a flood story. It is patently ridiculous to any modern reader. Then I read the Noah narrative. There are dozens of narratives I will read; one of my favorite being the Mithraic narrative duplications between Semele and Mary.
The follow-up question for each narrative is then to ask how you, the poor atheist the adherent is hoping to convert, can know which of these gods is the one, true, sacred god ... their god. And there's no way to tell, of course. You see all kinds of light bulbs going off at that point.
The formal argumentation comes up a lot here on TA and amongst atheists (because it is, after all, interesting) but is generally ineffective with adherents. The approach used in deconversion is completely different. It's all Socratic question afer question. There's more about this at my blog as well; kirkomrik.wordpress.com.
Thanks again
- kk
My wife teaches Gilgamesh to her high school literature students. She says you can just see the light bulbs going off for the students as they realize, "Oh, that's the same story as Noah's Ark!"

Hi Daryl,
Welcome to the group! You can start by going to the www.energyupgradeca.org website and shooting an email to various participating contractors. Another option is to work with a general contractor; with you on staff as BPI, that GC can then apply to be on the web portal as a participating contractor.
Hello All
I recently received my BPI Building Analyst certification and I am interested in working for a participating contractor in Energy Upgrade California. I live in Carson, CA
EGIA Leadership Academy
*This is a re-visit of our June 2nd Webinar, which had some technical issues.
Learn about the importance of cost estimating and kitchen table sale close strategies. You will leave this session with an improved understanding of contracting business management and the practical knowledge to improve your company's profitability.
Perhaps the three most important systems in your business for generating cash flow are; marketing, estimating and sales. Without marketing a terrible thing happens: no sales. Without sales a terrible thing happens: nothing. Estimating can be the bottleneck between the two. Understanding how to drive these systems easily and accurately can help you nail down the profits that otherwise might slip away.
Thanks for the information Hal. I will give him a call.
Hi Mike.
I would recommend

AFRICAN DOPE'S GREATEST HIT...has landed!
You've heard the rumours, you've seen the flyers, maybe even read the reviews, but 2 years after first being advertised, it's finally here - African Dope's Greatest Hit!
South Africa's favourite independent record label proudly unleashes it's lucky 13th release as the first output from the label in nearly 2 years and the very first (legal) DJ mix to disc by Krushed & Sorted, which makes it the DJ duo's first release since the now cult classic album 'Acid Me Do It' kicked it all off all those years ago.
Krushed & Sorted smoke their first as they raid the African Dope crop in a full-length, action-packed, hard-hitting, remixed, re-trixed and re-fixed DJ mix, crammed to the bass-bins with all their favourite doped-out dancefloor jams from the likes of Felix Laband, Kalahari Surfers, Krushed & Sorted, Constructus Corporation, Godessa, The Real Estate Agents, Watkin Tudor Jones, African Dope Soundsystem, Teba, Tykoon Suit, Sibot, Marcus Wormstorm, Mr. Mo, DJ Dope, Pug and others! A royal rip through 42 of the finest moments in Dope's history featuring all the 'hits', some rarities, a few unexpected bonus bits and additional turntablisms from deck wizard DJ Hamma, all laced with plenty of that rare-breed K&S musical wit, rolled and re-hashed by Krushed & Sorted - for maximum pull and flava!
More than just an album, The Greatest Hit also marks the end of a chapter in the history of African Dope; summing up what they've achieved over the past 6 years just so they can kick in the next phase - mutating into a digital lifestyle brand where their music is its driver, shifting focus to Krushed & Sorted and friends as opposed to just a stable of (hard to manage but ever so) talented artists. Compilations, digital singles, multi-format releases, themes and lots of interactivity are the new tools they will be using as a means to exposing fresh new talent, meaning also fewer artist albums, less regional focus, more global reach; creating a global community around the very unique African Dope sound and headspace.
African Dope's Greatest Hit is the label's first truly multi-format, globally co-ordinated release. It is available on CD in stores, via digital download at hundreds of sites around the world, to purchase on USB flash drive or mobile phone memory card (with additional bonus material), or even as mobile content for cellphones: - ringtones, screensavers, pictures, music videos etc.
The Greatest Hit also appears on myspace, Lastfm, Youtube, its own website and a host of global digital distributors all in the mix.
ùKrushed & Sorted originally started the African Dope label with the sole intention of developing and/or releasing as much new and interesting local leftfield music as they could incorporate into their own DJ sets. Six years on: mission accomplished - here's the proof...

"Great place at a great price"
Hotel was really nice. Staff was good. Stayed on 2nd floor..ice machine first floor was broken had to use third. Room was very cold but thermostat worked well in getting the room warmer.

Beds were very uncomfortable. A lot of traffic after midnight. Heater get glowing cold air all night.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"a minor/major gripe"
This is a fine hotel for the money, but I really think management should reinstate coffeemakers in the rooms. It is irksome to have to go down to the lobby to get coffee first thing in the morning, the cup a person needs to wake up. That's really my only issue with this Microtel.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
We've stayed at the Microtel in Dover NH several times and have always been pleased with our stay. The rooms are clean and the staff is very, very pleasant and helpful. It's not a fancy hotel but it has the important things we want cleanliness and good service.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"drafty room with no security lock on the door...."
When I checked in around 2am... the front desk attendant was friendly and helpful. When arriving at that hour I expect a chilly room. However the breeze I discovered blowing in thru the "heating" unit after 5 hours of maxing the heat out... not so much. Tho this hotel is in a decent neighborhood.... I found the missing security lock a bit unnerving(I […] did sleep quit well anyway for about 3 hours). Would I stay here again? If I am desperate.... yes. But I'm bringing extra blankets with me. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Good location"
The hotel is clean. But the bathroom shower needs some help. Had holes in the wall were the shower rod should have gone, but they put tissiue in the holes to cover up.

"Apple Festival"
We chose to stay in Dover for the 28th annual Apple Festival and it was worth every penny. The Festival was a short drive down the street, the staff at the hotel gave us helpful hints on attending and we had a great time. We will definitely stay here when we come back next year. This is my second stay at at Microtel (first was in Philly) and both experiences […] were wonderful. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
We stayed at a holiday inn express in tewksbury the night before, paid less and had much better accomidations. The microtel was clean and staff friendly didn't like the fact that we had a paid in full pre-booked room and they gave us a room across from the vending machines and elevator which made for a restless noisy night, those rooms should be saved […] for last minute travels not for people who book their stays in advance. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

We arrived an hour before checkin(3:00pm). The front desk was very accommadating and got us into a room right away. The room was clean and had what we needed for a one night stay. The breakfast,which was included in the room price, was very good. You could make waffles to order,pastries,cereals juices, and a variety of hot drinks.

"Overnight stay"
Hotel was clean and friendly. Conveniently located right off the highway with a Starbucks and a Five Guys in the front parking lot. Lots of restaurants and shopping in the area.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"There's better out there"
The hotel on the outside and inside was clean. My only interaction with staff was at the front desk and they were very nice. My room was extremely outdated and lacked things like a bar of soap at the sink to wash my hands. The linens were like sand paper and I suspect they are original to when the hotel first opened. The a/c worked fantastic! The tv […] was This huge tube tv mounted at an angle in the corner. A mirror spanned the entire length right above my bed. I felt like I should be in an adult video. Very 70's feeling. The free breakfast left alot to be desired. I couldn't use the waffle maker since there was caked in waffle batter all over it. No one tended to the breakfast area. The selection consisted of cereal, a couple muffins, one kind of yogurt, milk, oj. Don't count on it for a hearty breakfast. The bed was comfortable. Nothing special. I probably would not stay here again considering there are other choices in the same price range that offer more ammenities and are more updated. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Reasonable value"
The hotel is clean and comfortable, the beds are fine and there's plenty of storage; but not well insulated against noise from other rooms (banging doors, children squawking, late arrivals, early departures, etc.); and no refrigerator; and bathroom shelf space and hook space is ridiculously inadequate (would it kill them to have a shelf more than 4 […] inches wide? or hooks on the door for a bathrobe?). Staff were courteous and helpful, breakfast is the usual starch festival, decent coffee is always available. So it's a good value over-all for the Dover-Portsmouth area. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Had a great first night, but the second night was a different story.

"internet and bed comfort"
Of the 3 nights i stayed the last night there was the only night i had internet. I booked this room because of this. I was not able to do my homework ( classes on line) and my daughter in law couldn't do her work either. I was very upset and disappointed no one was willing to fix this problem. the bed was hard if you like hard beds great. the pull out […] couch needed a new mattress you could feel everything in the springs. I'll never go there again 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Internet withdrawal..."
For the rate, we were quite pleased with this hotel. The free wireless internet, however, was too weak to pick up in our end room.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Hotel was clean and staff were welcoming. Our room was just what we needed, but the shower head was broken and sprayed everywhere. There were no maintenance personnel on site, so my boyfriend had to help staff pick out the correct tools and then proceed to fix the shower head himself. Fortunately, they were able to move us to another room. Unfortunately, […] the AC was broken. We just decided to let it be as we were checking out the next day. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Good Stay"

Our SMD series with optional indexer and encoder feedback are highly integrated controllers and drivers in a extremely small package, measuring only 3.0 x 2.7 x 1.2 in. They make use of advanced surface-mount and ASIC technology for unmatched performance, reliability, and value.
These high-resolution microstepping drivers are capable of up to 256 microsteps per full step. This gives you the ultimate in positioning accuracy and smooth motion without resonance--up to 51,200 steps per revolution. All SMD series drivers include an intelligent controller.
You get superior results because we have integrated standard hardware with variable resolution microstep control. At low shaft speeds, the indexer produces high-resolution microstep positioning for silent resonance-free operation. As shaft speed increaswes, the output step resolution is expanded with on-motor-pole synchronization. At the compleotion of a move, the target microposition is trimmed to 1/100 of a step to achieve and maintain precise positioning.
SMD 483 drivers support 12 to 48 VDC and 0.4 to 3 A per phase (4A peak). SMD 1007 drivers handle 24 to 80 VDC and 2 to 7 A per phase (10 A peak). Models with suffix IE add an encoder input for feedback, and models with suffix IE-DE include a differential encoder. Models with suffix -232 have an RS-232 interface instead of the standard RS-422 interface.
These drivers include circuits that minimize ripple current while maintaining a 20-kHz chopping rate. This prevents additional motor heating common indrivers requiring higher chopping rates. Now low-inductance step motors can be used to improve high-speed performance and system efficiency.
Complete microstepping controller and motor driver with encoder input.
Download commands remotely via RS-422.
Encoder input for closed-loop control.
Can run independently using non-volatile command memory.

The RYA-Yachting Australia Yacht Training Program was formed in 2008 when Yachting Australia and the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) formed a partnership for the delivery of the RYA Cruising Scheme in Australia. This now provides international recognition of qualifications as well as a national harmonisation of course content and delivery.
Over the same time period, a new National Keelboat Program has been developed with significant industry consultation. The RYA/Yachting Australia Yacht Training Scheme and the National Keelboat Program have expanded the provision of courses and provide pathways for small boat sailors to progress seamlessly to offshore yachting, especially if they wish to pursue international sailing and employment opportunities.
Yachting Australia is working in partnership with the RYA because RYA qualifications are recognised and respected around the world and with more than 130 years experience, together we are able to provide a world-class training platform that will be locally administered and operated by Yachting Australia.
Recognition of RYA / MCA qualifications in NSW and QLD
NSW Maritime has developed new procedures for the recognition of RYA-YA Yachtmaster Certificates when also endorsed with STCW. These procedures will streamline requirements for crew with yachting qualifications to work on commercial vessels in NSW and provide improved flexibility to yacht owners and operators to obtain crew with appropriate qualifications. For more details click here.
Marine Safety Queensland (MSQ) will now consider those holding an RYA-YA Yachtmaster Coastal or Offshore certificate for recognition as Coxswain/M5 restricted to sail. For more information click here.

Sickle Cell Disease: Splenic Sequestration
Topic Overview
What is splenic sequestration?
Splenic sequestration is a problem with the Reference spleen Opens New Window that can happen in people who have Reference sickle cell disease Opens New Window.
Splenic sequestration happens when a lot of sickled red blood cells become trapped in the spleen. The spleen can enlarge, get damaged, and not work as it should. When the spleen doesn't work well, a person is more likely to have serious, life-threatening infections with certain types of bacteria.
If splenic sequestration happens suddenly, it can be a life-threatening emergency.
Who is affected by it?
This condition is more common in infants and young children who have sickle cell disease. It may follow a respiratory infection.
In older children and adults, the spleen often does not work because of years of damage from sickled cells.
What are the symptoms?
Splenic sequestration causes sudden and severe Reference anemia Opens New Window, with symptoms of sudden weakness, pale lips, rapid breathing, excessive thirst, belly pain, and rapid heartbeat.
If you have a baby or young child who has sickle cell disease, you will check your child's spleen to see if it's larger than normal. Your child's doctor can show you how to check for it. A suddenly enlarged spleen requires emergency medical care.

I need to initiliaze a bean with 3 parameters. When i'm initializing the bean, if i specify the parameters in the configuration, Container creates this object at initializaiton time.
Basically this bean should be injected in other service beans where the initialization parameters changes from service to service. So i want to define the bean for each service, whenever the bean is injected into the service. Out of the three initilization parameters, 2 parameters are constants defined for that service, but the third object is an object created by a Facade before this service. Basically i want to introduce an interceptor( bean i'm talking about ) between the Facade and this service. But for each service, the interceptor should be intialized with a User object created by Facade. So only at the runtime the bean should be populated with the User object generated from Facade.
How to play with the Configuraiton to achieve this?

Tessa Lauder Took a few uncomfortable days to break them in, but now they're fantastic, I can wear them all day without feeling it. Size is a tiny bit on the big side.
Emma Guy Very pleased. Colours alot brighter than expected, but am happy with them. Slightly on the large side, but tightening the laces helps. Very good price and fast delivery - thank you Etnies!
email@example.com OK
Rose Howd I love Etnies. I think I'm an Etnies-a-holic! I often find that trainers can be a bit narrow and most don't come in half sizes, so I find it difficult to get a good fit. But I always know that 7.5 will fit me perfectly. I usually buy the chunkier style (eg. callicut), which I prefer, but these were in the sale and were too pretty to let them pass me by. I'm a happy bunny :-)
firstname.lastname@example.com I got these in the sale at £24.99, hence the 5 stars for value, I think £44.99 is a tad expensive for them.
They were delivered from Germany to England and I got them 3 working days after I placed my order! very happy with the service.
The shoes the self are brilliant. So glad I bought them, I was hesitant because I have trouble finding shoes that fit well and although I have many etnies, I have only ever had faders. However, they are so comfy! Another pair to add to my collection :)

Brief Reflections on the Son of God
By Roderick Evans
Jesus came as a visible demonstration of God's standard of service and worship. Christ did not come as Lord and Savior only. He came as the Son of God. This demonstrated that God expects to have a personal (familial) relationship with His people. The highest title upon Jesus Christ was that of 'Son.'He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David. (Luke 1:32)
Because the Christ came as a Son, this meant that God wanted His people to also understand Him in a truly, personal way. The foundation of their worship and approach to God was to be done through relationship. The basis of their experience of God would be based upon His personality.
Since Jesus came as a living example, His life before God as a Son sets the guidelines for man's life before Him. As a Son, Jesus walked in obedience to the Father. Though He was Lord of all, He humbled Himself under God's hand. He followed whatever He was instructed to do.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. (John 12:49)
This was to be the ultimate demonstration of how man is to approach God. As a Son, Jesus displayed how one can have a personal relationship with God and adhere to His righteous standards. This is how man's relationship with God is perfected. Man's righteous acts would be an outward manifestation of the inner transformation. As we follow Christ's example, we show ourselves to be children of God indeed.
How does Jesus' example help you in your relationship with God? What does it mean to you that Jesus is God's son? What does it mean to you to be a child of God?

Jenni Rivera Dead After a Plane Crash on Monday's Edition of "The Pulse"
By: Melissa Bollero
Updated: December 10, 2012
A popular pop star, dead after a plane crash, and one California restaraunt is in some hot water, here is Monday's edition of "The Pulse".
Brian OkamAppalachian state reserve center Brian Okam may have had the worst free throw ever attempted on Saturday. With eleven minutes left in the second half of the game between the mountaineers and Western Carolina, Okam attempted a foul shot, the ball landed about ten feet short of the rim, leaving aTV analyst in such shock he said, "I'm not sure what that was. Good lord."
Receipt Controversy
A California restaurant is apologizing over a receipt describing three customers as "fat girls". Christina Duran and her two friends were shocked, and certainly didn't find it funny. In a Facebook post, the restaurant says it's "appalled" and "embarrassed" over the incident. It says the employee responsible was immediately fired.
Jenni Rivera
Popular singer Jenni Rivera was killed over the weekend in a plane crash. No one aboard the small aircraft survived. A preliminary investigation uncovered a California drivers license belonging to the singer at the crash site. Rivera was heading for the city of Toluca in Central Mexico after performing at a sold-out concert in Monterrey on Saturday.
Navy SEAL Killed
The military has identified the Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan, while rescuing a kidnapped American doctor. The pentagon says petty officer first class Nicolas D. Checque of Pennsylvania died from combat-related injuries in the rescue operation over the weekend. Checque, who was twenty-eight, belonged to navy seal team six, the same special ops group which raided Osama Bin Laden's compound.
Royal Tragedy
The fallout continues over last week's prank phone call involving the British Royal Family. A tearful TV appearance by the two Australian radio personalities that could have been responsible for the death of a nurse treating Princess Catherine.

Hey Hey,
Just got the game from D2D during their deal week and I'm really enjoying it . Any plans for an expansion etc?
Hey Hey,
Just got the game from D2D during their deal week and I'm really enjoying it . Any plans for an expansion etc?
But we're interested in your feedback on which maps you like and which you didn't.
I liked all of them ... lots of diversity. If I has a least favorite it would have been the last stand. Interesting concept, very challenging but somewhat mildy annoying,
I gues ill mention one other thing ... I just tried the grinder and was surprised that all the mobs were the same O.o.
Likewise I loved pretty much all the maps, the variety is very very good. Since this was kinda the opener, if there was more on the way I'd recommend more larger maps, preferably ones where you can mold their directions. The ability to choose which way to direct them opens up hours and hours of more gameplay using different strategies. But I guess they can't ALL be like that, you guys have found a pretty good balance. I really have nothing negative to say about anything.. So much for constructive criticism here lol.
You know, I do not usually post on fourms. I am more of a Lurker. I have been playing P.C. games since there were P.C.'s.
I have to say this game gets my vote for game of the year.
Superb graphics, nice litte story, great voice acting, and the strategy is excellent. I am stuck on the last stand though.
I would love to see and expansion pack and keep this game going for many years. Like the sims.
Another option is a make your own version, where people able to make their own levels and upload and share them.
I love this game, it is my favorite. I am a big shooter fun, but no shooter can compare to defense grid.
Thank you,
Thank you,
I think I have played through this about 4 times now. First time was awesome, then I set the goal of never losing a core. The variety of maps is fine. "Last Stand" is a great example of how you have to place towers as part of the strategy and others merely let you shoot and can't block aliens. It's a great mix. Where there are so few good tower defense type games out, this is amazing, and it needs another 100 levels. It is either that, or I do work, and no one wants that.
I personally like the maps which offer the flexibility to change their direction. The set path maps were not as interesting, but were still good to play a few times. There was an indy game, tower revolutions, which had an interesting feature in that the aliens shot back and you had to revisit towers to not only upgrade but repair as well. The upgrades were a neat idea as well, instead of one option, you could select the type of tower. For instance, the gun tower could have an option for armor piercing but shoots slower or fast shooting but less impact. I'm not suggesting to rip them off but those were two ideas that would be neat to expand on. Also, there is the option to introduce live or multiple player features with co-op. Or have one player pick the type and control the path of the aliens and the other defend the map.
Hi Jeff,
I posted a lengthy review on the other site, so won't repeat myself (at least I'll try not to). There's been any number of suggestions posted here and the Steam site for improvements. I know you're asking what maps we liked best - but I assume this is to get an idea of what to keep, what to modify, what to completely overhaul; and where the best 'new' direction might be. Can I make one plea - don't over cook this game. Right now I think it's so close to what it needed to be that you guys should be able to retire on permanent pensions and just live off your laurels. To the maps - some of them were favourites at first play, but then others became favourites once I got serious about getting better results. The map I have most enjoyed is Turnabout - but that's because it's potentially easy and there really is one best set up, so getting better is about minor adjustments, and I can concentrate on those, and yes, I do love the (imagined) smell of burning (simulated) aliens in the morning! The one map I 'hate/love' is Waste Disposal - it's tricky to get everything timed and placed, the mix of aliens is among the best (ie most challenging), and there are blind spots if you're not careful. I agree with intent of previous comment - you could make more of the flyers, but I appreciate that there are only a small number of towers that will deal with flyers, so limitations are obvious. And you really don't want to turn this into a 'shoot the flyers' game. Patterned flight paths are artificial and don't alter ie don't respond to tower placement (gee, is that a thought?) as ground based aliens have to. In the end, I think the main thing is that maps have inherent variations in terms of possible strategies, and I think the maps you have - in the main - get this right (couple of exceptions which I've mentioned in post on Steam). So for me, whatever comes next should be about tweaking what you have, and definitely an editor. Major re-thinks should wait until version 3. And thanks again for developing such a great game.
I really liked the variety of maps in 'Defense Grid: The Awakening'. I thought I'd put together some observations on the original game and some ideas about possible directions for a further expansion or sequel.
Observations:
[*]Excellent game, good job guys![*]Good mix of large/small open/tight maps.[*]I felt that the usefulness of tower types was very subtely skewed. Most maps could be completed with just guns and the occasional inferno, meteor, missile or temporal depending on the map. It would have been nice to have maps that really required some of the less significant tower types - concussion, command, tesla, laser and cannon. I liked the variety of tower types, but after playing through a few times I found half of them are marginalized because of their cost, usefulness, strength or weakness against particular types of aliens. Don't get me wrong, I loved the game but was a bit disappointed to find the most effective strategy on most maps is the least creative.
Suggestions:
[*]Aerial attack skewed maps. 50 - 75% aerial waves with the occasional ground based attack. [*]Tower balancing (subtle fine-tuning). Guns and meteors are a little overpowered compared to other towers when taking cost into consideration. From what I can tell guns are effective against all aliens types and are the cheapest tower in the game. Meteors have a HUGE range and are relatively cheap compared to other tower types. Temporals and command towers are a little too expensive at level 1. Perhaps they should start out cheaper for level 1 and upgrades get progressively more expensive like other tower types. On the open maps I found that I'd almost always choose 3 x lvl:1 guns or 1 x lvl:2 gun over a temporal or command tower.[*]The introduction of a cheap 'foundation' tile (50-75 resource cost) that would allow the player to path ground based aliens. The foundation tower might also add a bonus or increase the radius of aerial based weapons should you decide to build a cannon or missile tower on it later. For ground based towers the foundation tower might also provide better line of sight for towers located behind other towers. One of the biggest changes this would provide is an alternative to using guns to path aliens on bigger maps, just because they are the cheapest tower to use.[*]New alien types that are stronger against the more commonly used towers and more susceptible to specific, less commonly required tower types. (concussion, laser, tesla). I think this would make the game more enjoyable especially on the closed maps - it would force you to make tough decisions about tower selection instead of just throwing down guns and upgrading them. e.g. An alien impervious to guns that flys for a portion of the map (so that missiles could take them out or cannons could weaken them), and then lands and shields over aliens within a radius from projectile weapons but is susceptible to electicity (tesla). Maybe another new alien that shields from heat based weapons (meteor, inferno, laser) but is susceptible to concussion towers?[*]Multiplayer would rock! Ideally for up to 4 players complete with co-op maps, multiple bases and alien points of entry and exit. New games types could include 'specialization' where each player is in control of certain tower types e.g. One player is the designated aerial defense specialist and gets control of missiles and cannons, a 2nd player manages temporals, command towers and guns; player 3, fire based towers (infernos, lasers and meteors). Finally player 4 gets the remainder of the tower types and is the only player that can sell towers (for when the path to the cores gets blocked which I imagine would happen frequently)! Obviously the mix would need a little balancing but you get the idea. I think it would result in pandemonium, intensity and fun.[*]Maybe even a versus mode where players take turns to influence the alien mix based on alien resources while the other player defends as normal?
Anyway thanks again for a very fun and enjoyable game and keep up the good work. I'd buy you a drink if I could!

I think most of your observations are spot on. It's a shame that you can earn gold easily with 90% of your towers being gun or cannons. A foundations tower would add a new strategic angle, and aliens with kinetic shields and heat shields, and flying aliens that land would all increase the tactical complexity of the game for later levels. Multiplayer Co-Op would be a must have.
I disagree about temporals, though - I find them to be awesome not only in the kill zones, but all over the map. If you ever get a core stolen and kill the runner halfway through the map, the temporals help that core escape back to the holding pen and the benefits are therefore extend far beyond just multiplying the effectiveness of one kill zone.
I'm new here, so this might be said many times already, but this game needs a map editor. With a community around map building and the thousands of maps this would create, I think your game would never die. You would also be sure that a lot of people bought the sequal, if you plan to make one.
With a game like this, variety is the spice of life!
There were no maps I didn't like, and none that I prefered over others. You guys did it just right, each map was different, and required it's own strategy.
Don't overthink this.... What maps do I like?.... more... more... more!
What about a map/level forge? Let users try to come up with and share their own maps. I realize that would be a huge technical challenge, but worth it. I'd even pay another $10 in points for this.
I like the idea of foundation blocks, I kept feeling like I was being wasteful placing guns in places where firepower wasn't needed, but I needed to direct the path.
I have to disagree with the comments of tower biasing, I do think the costs for placing and upgrading need adjustment, but tower strength and capabilities seemed fine to me. Alien strength and salvage value could use some adjustment however.
The one thing I didn't like is the strength of the spawner aliens, in early waves they are much stronger than the normal aliens. This would be fine if they were to just roam randomly and could not steal cores themselves. But too often they can not be killed quickly enough ending up with lost cores, while the spawned aliens are easily dispatched. OR just not bring them in quite so early.
All in all this is an outstanding game! I look forward to many many new levels!
<<< Loves Defense Grid
Thanks for all the feedback!*
I'm way too old to be playing games like this... but that's exactly what I do as soon as I get home from work. It's addictive, and very enjoyable. I hate to think of how many hours I've spent killing those pesky little aliens.
I always play in grinder mode, so please make sure you include that with any future expansions. Most of the maps are good, with the more complex maps with multi-levels being my favorite. The last three are very good. So, good job, and keep it up! I'll buy the expansion as soon as it hits the market.

I think the best point I've seen on here was the very last. A way to keep this game viable is to let go of what I think is being coveted above all else, content control / the ability for user made maps etc. If you look at games that have found a niche such as this one, like Heroes of Might and Magic (1&2) which are still being developed, you can see how the loyalty of the customer base provided regular income for the justification of 3 further full fledged sequels.
It needs to make financial sense for further development, and having a community to do all your advertising and conversion of the masses for you is the most valuable asset for achieving this. Give the crazy modders their tools, and they'll make sure this game never dies (and picks up regular re-purchases for the future). The best additions can be incorporated into sequels with little or no wasted energy.
Anyways, just my two cents..
One day perhaps I'll try to pitch you guys to let me fund an expansion for a vc company! (if you'd ever consider that, it'd be an honor!)
Congrats on a great piece of work guys!!
I love TD games, and this one is honestly the best. So addictive! I've played through on all the modes multiple times and I need more! Thanks for the Borderlands expansion, but that was just a tease! Not that I think you should release a map editor because maps are your biggest asset to this game, but I'd love to see one. Anyways, more maps please!!! I need more of my drug, I'll pay!

The Morning Journal (morningjournal.com), Serving Northern Ohio
Friday, November 21, 2008
By JASON LLOYD
COLUMBUS — Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee is a staunch advocate of the current BCS system and hates the thought of a playoff ever coming to college football. He made headlines last season by saying "they'll have to wrench a playoff system from my cold, dead hands."
That was before President-elect Barack Obama began his half serious campaign to abolish the BCS and bring a playoff to college football.
"If you've got a bunch of teams who play throughout the season, and many of them have one loss or two losses, there's no clear decisive winner," Obama said during a "60 Minutes" interview while proposing an eight-team playoff. "We should be creating a playoff system."
Gee said he is a strong supporter of Obama, and he's thrilled that the president is interested in college sports, but he's not about to cave in now.
"The collective presidents of America's major universities believe that the playoff system is not in the best interest of intercollegiate athletics or our universities," Gee said. "I look forward to having an opportunity to talk to him about that issue."
Until then, Gee will continue to stave off any playoff talk.
"My cold, dead hands will still wrap themselves around a college playoff system, no doubt about it," Gee said. "It might be closer to my cold, dead hands."
Staying cool
Gee admits he wouldn't have the stomach to ever be a college football coach. When Terrelle Pryor delayed his decision on signing day, Gee called Buckeyes Jim Tressel and asked what it all meant.
"It gave me heartburn, needless to say," Gee said. "But it also told me a lot about our coaches. They weren't at all panicked. They said 'He's going to give his time and thought to this, and we feel very confident he will choose Ohio State in the end.' And they were absolutely right."
That doesn't mean, however, that Gee agrees with how high school seniors are handled. He doesn't like all the pressure heaped on high school kids who haven't even attended freshman orientation.
"What we have here is the development of a hero complex in America," he said. "These are 18 or 19 year olds, and all of a sudden they're put on the front pages of every major American newspaper. Think about the pressure it puts on him. I've been very impressed with him, but it also says something about the process when we focus on this particular kind of issue rather than focus on the broad range of issues that we should be focusing on in terms of recruiting all of our students."
B-W ties
Michigan defensive coordinator Scott Shafer and Tressel share a bond: they were both quarterbacks at Baldwin-Wallace.
Shafer graduated from Riverside High School in Painesville in 1985 and played briefly at Ohio University before transferring to B-W. Shafer was named the team's MVP in 1989.
Tressel was an All-Conference quarterback for the Yellow Jackets in 1974. Tressel and Shafer have met a couple of times, although they aren't close.
"Never really worked with him," Tressel said, "but had always heard great things about him."
Shafer ran the defense at Stanford last season when the Cardinal pulled the historic upset against USC.
"I was watching all summer long the way that Stanford team handled Southern Cal and was very impressed with that," Tressel said. "He's done a good job."

GE, Alcoa Inc., The Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin, along with The Manufacturing Institute, will participate and invest in the nationwide Get Skills to Work coalition that aims to train military veterans for jobs in advanced manufacturing. Training will take place in South Carolina.
Staff Report
Published Oct. 16, 2012
GE, Alcoa Inc., The Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin all will participate and invest in a nationwide coalition aiming to train military veterans for jobs in advanced manufacturing.
The Manufacturing Institute, along with those companies, will manage the Get Skills to Work coalition. It will focus on accelerating skills training; translating military skills to manufacturing jobs; and empowering employers with tools to recruit, hire and mentor veterans.
A training site focused on accelerating skills training for veterans will open in Greenville in 2013.
Reportedly 600,000 high-tech manufacturing jobs remain open in the U.S. and more than 82% of manufacturers report they cannot find people with the necessary skill sets, according to a news release. Meanwhile, 1 million veterans are expected to exit the armed forces and transition to civilian careers over the next four years.
"Today, many veterans are out of work, despite the nation's growing industrial sector and increased demand for skilled workers," GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt said in a news release. "Through this initiative, we have an opportunity to help veterans with extraordinary leadership capabilities better compete for good-paying jobs with a long-term future."
For the coalition's accelerating skills training component, the partners will work with local community and technical colleges to establish the Manufacturing Institute's Right Skills Now program, which fast tracks industry-recognized certifications and offers training in core manufacturing technical skill areas.
The first class of veterans will be enrolled in January 2013 near GE Aviation's manufacturing hub in Cincinnati, Ohio at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College.
Throughout 2013, training sites will open in Greenville; Fort Worth, Texas; Houston; Schenectady, N.Y.; Durham, N.C.; Los Angeles; and Evansville, Ind.
Partners will work with their local supply base to ensure the certifications being offered meet the immediate skill needs. They also will work with the nation's defense and veterans affairs departments, as well as local military transition offices and bases, to recruit veteran participants.
Boeing will continue to train its workers at the Washington Aerospace Training and Research Center in Puget Sound, Wash.; the St. Louis Community College in St. Louis; Delaware County Community College in Philadelphia; and through readySC, a division of the S.C. Technical College System in Charleston.
Rick Stephens, Boeing senior vice president of human resources and administration, said Boeing has hired and trained nearly 3,000 veterans in the past 21 months. Boeing uses a website with a military-to-civilian skills translator.
"Based on our experience recruiting and training veterans to work at Boeing, we believe the Get Skills to Work initiative could have a major impact on the hiring of veterans nationwide," Stephens said in a news release.
The Manufacturing Institute will manage the coalition, along with financial support from GE, Alcoa, Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
These initial investments will help 15,000 veterans translate military experience to corresponding advanced manufacturing opportunities. The coalition is seeking additional partners to meet its goal of reaching 100,000 veterans by 2015.
Today, the four founding companies employ approximately 64,000 U.S. military veterans.
For the coalition's translating military skills to civilian opportunities, The Manufacturing Institute and Futures Inc. created a digital badge system to help translate Military Occupational Specialty codes, the U.S. military's system for identifying jobs, to advanced manufacturing positions.
Skills matching and badge distribution will be supported by the U.S. Manufacturing Pipeline, an online hub that connects manufacturing employers with veterans. Get Skills to Work will also leverage LinkedIn, on which GE will sponsor an advanced manufacturing "job-posting drive."
GE and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University will develop and deploy a toolkit for employers that will share research and best practices in recruiting, supporting, mentoring and retaining veterans as employees.
It will be available to employers participating in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Hiring Our Heroes initiative and the 100,000 Jobs Mission, as well as the broader business community.
Veterans can also receive hands-on experience with advanced manufacturing technology through a GE and Techshop program in Detroit; Raleigh, N.C.; San Jose, Calif.; Austin, Texas; Washington, D.C.; and New York.
A Get Skills to Work Advisory Council, made of active and retired military leaders, will ensure coalition partners understand the needs of veterans and assist in closing the manufacturing skills gap.

Today, the Eritrean youth made a remarkable job in creating awareness to the Eritrean people. The Eritrean people who are suffering under dictatorship have realized that change is on the way. Yes change is coming to Eritrea and it is not coming from Ethiopia or any other external forces. It is coming from within. The subjugated and oppressed people of Eritrea have received a stand by message. The next job is to rise up and topple dictator Essayas who takes the entire nation as his own personal property. The people of Eritrea who have been under siege for 2 decades are seeing the light in the tunnel.
Change is coming to Eritrea from within. The mafia group Shabia is shaking up.
Stay tune.

The fact is 99% of Eritreans oppose Essayas,,, only the 1% that have blood relationship that protect Essayas.. and you are one of them. I feel so bad for these people.. before you guys talk about others , clean up your house..

NEW YORK, JUNE 21, 1973 PRICE: TEN CENTS PER COPY ( ( Heal" Stills Steams At Randall Aivih J. Kallman of 20 HandaU . Avenue, spoke at the open hearing of the Freeport Board of Trustees about-vlolations he charges exist in the 4'8tory, 88- ' family, 15-year-old apartment 2_house_jowned_by_Jthe_RandaU_ Management Corp., at a) Eandall Avenue. The Board slated they would look into the matter. Kallman says too many people have "looked into the matter" jfcce-Gliristmas* with little "being done. . , Kallman took exception to THE -BEATJMR'S coverage of the -Board meeting which Included a statement by -Building Department head Lou Bello fndic^ting . the building has no viblaUans jsee-*i|flailbox"> and challenged THE LEADER to 'come'"see fdf yourself." The building, on the north side of Randall and extending to North Main Street, has a mc^t attractive frontage and entrance on Randall with ftill blooming roses by the front door. Walking to the rear parking area, Uie KaUmans (which include Mrs. lluth Kallman and 14-. year-old Nancy) pointed out their first floor apartment which actually rests over a sheltered parking area supported by several pillars. Kallman pointed out the exterior portions of the aiy conditioners, that service his apartment. (Once inside we were invited to turn on these ^Ir conditioners. We found no controls nor anything resembling machinery. Kallman, who reports his lease includes air conditioning, states these v^ere the conditioners he found when he moved to his two-bedroom apartment two and a half years ago. He does say that the superintendent once came to show* them how to 'use the "machinery." Using tools, he-maiiaged to get •'& "whirling sound" for a few minutes. "The . elements aren't there," says Kallndan.) Lou Bello, during a lengthy interview in his Building Department Office, told THE LEADER that this was a tenant-landlord matter and did not fall within the Department's jurisdiction. The KaUmans' brought our ,attention_to^the ^cement-pillars-supporting the roof of the parking area, his apartment, and seemingly the three floors above. The cement is badly cracked on^ several of the piUars. Metal rods Kallman said, "That's our ventilation.^' THE LEADES wondered about security problems but has since been told It is not mandatory to keep a buUding locked.) We were invited -to approach the superintendent's-door as though we had a complaint. Because it was a warm day the Malmute tied clMe to the jloor was drowsy. Even so, we, a dog owner, would not approach. SeeU Federal Funds for Storm Cleanup are placed on the four sidra of Taking the eleVa1»r we noticed each -T oh some at least one >Vas pulled away. The KaUmans then pointed out a sizeable "buckle" in the Toof of this area. Bello reports he had uot^been notified of such a situation but would Jdok' into it. MiUe in the area, Kallman showed us what he said was the jfehUlatihg sysfem for th'e-ceUar-area housing the furnace and hot. water boiler. Several of the ventilating outlets 'were obviously bordered up. Those ti»t appeared to the eye to. be open were actually sealed according to our hands. Again, BeUojreports that neither KaUman or any other tenant has reported such a problem and from THE LEADER'S description he cbMd" not judge if a violation did actually exist. "The ventUaUng, the taking out of stale sk\T, is accomplished by the fam on the roof, which are functioning." We entered the building from the parking area to the below ground level area housing the superintendent's apartment,' laundry room, fupnace room and elevator. The' raiUng adjoining the steps we walked down was extremely .loose. Kallman expressed concern for the elderly who might seek support from it. It seemeid to us Uiat at its hei^t it was meant more as a barrier to those that might faU into the stairweU thait a handrail. In either case, It is ,too loose to serve any purpose. Nbone^ihad told his department of that railing problem, Bello reported. _: On entering the buUding (the door was propped open? it carried no inspection cer* tificate. Bello told us that Uiere Is no ordinance requiring such, documents to be displayed and Indeed there was a problem with their maUcious removal. Instead, they are forwarded to ; the departnfent afMiL eyjOL-thfe«i5:L months.inspiecUon by an outside agency. On the first floor we passed th^ incinerator room. The heat of the room was indicated by Uie fact it ^requires (as is the practice according to the KaUmans) a potholder to handle the incinerator lid. The heat of the room was so intense that it could be felt several fwt away along the hallway wall. (A violatlont Yes and hot According to a Freeport Fire Department spokesman an incinerator room is not made for human habitation and therefore the temperature is not controUed by anyonlinance. The Nassau Ckjunty Fire Marshall's office concurred on this point. The use of the 'incinerator at 20 RandaU Avenue, however, we discovered, is at tills point up for legal action. The Environmental Health Division of Uie Nassau County Board of Health told THE LEADER tiiat the building's incinerator, which reportedly beUows forth black, polluting smoke, is tinder.constant surveillance and,will be brought up in court shortly. Should a violation be determined it wiU be under a County and State law which requires anti-air pollution updating of incinerators. The corrective measures r^uired under that law have resulted In the volun-tary shut-down of tielnclnerator-at 40 RandalLAKenue.,owned by tiie RandaU Management Corp. The use of the incinerator at ^ i " however, is not a violation of a Village ordinance and is not under the jurisdiction of the iUUding-Departmerit. Bellb did A COSTLyjCLiANUeJOB.

I don't know that I noticed this problem before patch 0.8, but I see my Iconus Guardians casting Shield Projection all the time. It does not matter if they are out of combat (or even in a system with no enemies). They are always cruising on empty due to the antimatter drain. On the plus side, my weaving skills from playing a bard in Everquest is coming in handy to micro this.
Dunno if this helps, just set them to Autocast: Disabled to avoid this
I keep both abilities Disabled so I can trigger them when I feel it helps most
well... if there were enemy scout and trade ships being attacked in the well, then there would be cause to use the shield, so says the coding, which is why autocast abilities suck sometimes, which is why we much all be micro junkies and use them manually for best effect.
No, they use that ability when nothing is happening.
Yeah I took a quick look in the files, seems they turned off the 'OnlyinCombat' modifier in the ability file.
No clue why though :/
ive confirmed this behavior. while microing is best, the ability did work fine on autocast before.
I've run into this bug as well, my gaurdians are casting their shields nonstop whether they are in combat or not.
I'm seeing this too. Setting autocast to disabled does work, but it means that Guardians are useless unless I'm constantly monitoring my fleets. For larger maps, this is really hard to do. It basically makes the AI much more powerful, because the AI can manage far more ships than a human.
the developers try to increase the micromanagement requirements of the advent fleet so that the vasari will always reign supreme in multiplayer. This is naturally because the developers themselves are vasari infiltrators.
