Coalinga (/ˌkoʊ.əˈlɪŋɡə/ or /kəˈlɪŋɡə/; formerly, Coaling Station A, Coalingo[8] and Coalinga Station[7]) is a city in Fresno County, California. The population was 13,380 at the 2010 census, up from 11,668 at the 2000 census. It is the site of both Pleasant Valley State Prison and Coalinga State Hospital. Coalinga is located 52 miles (84 km) southwest of Fresno,[8] at an elevation of 673 feet (205 m).[7]
Early days[edit]
Legendary bandit Joaquin Murrieta was killed in 1853 north of Coalinga. California Historical Landmark 344, near the intersection of what are now State Routes 33 and 198, marks the approximate site of his headquarters, Arroyo de Cantua, where he was slain.
In the early years of railroading, before the extensive development of oil production in California, the steam locomotives were powered by the burning of coal obtained from the northern foothills of Mount Diablo. The Southern Pacific Transportation Company established the site as a coaling station in 1888, and it was called simply Coaling Station A. Local tradition has it that an official of Southern Pacific made the name more sonorous by adding an a to it.[9] However, it is just as likely that the small railside signs of the day, which often abbreviated names, read "COALINGA" to mean "Coaling A." [Another example is Braner's Cut north of Eureka, whose sign said "BRACUT," which has now become the name of that spot along Highway 101.] The resemblance to Nahuatl (where cōātl = "snake") is accidental.
The first post office was established in 1899.[8] The city incorporated in 1906.[8]
Coalinga's water was so mineral-laden that potable water had to be brought in by railroad in tanker cars from Armona, California. For many years, "Armona Water" was the only water residents could drink. Coalinga was one of only a few towns in the United States that had three taps — one for hot water, one for cold water, and one for drinking water. Finally, in the early 1960s, Coalinga held the first practical demonstration for reverse osmosis (RO), and its Armona water was replaced by RO water.[citation needed]
1983 Earthquake[edit]
On May 2, 1983, Coalinga was struck by a 6.5 magnitude earthquake that destroyed more than 800 houses and other buildings; it was felt as far away as Los Angeles and western Nevada.
Geology and topography[edit]
The Coalinga area is a generally level topographic setting, suitable for a number of field crops which do not require large amounts of water. Underlying rock formations include the occurrence of Vaqueros sandstone. Surrounding the town in a semicircle from the west, around the north, and to the east are several anticlinal formations containing considerable accumulations of petroleum, from which oil has been withdrawn for more than a hundred years.
The city is located near a particularly active portion of the San Andreas Fault, and earthquakes are frequent.
Today, the city's main industries are agriculture, oil and incarceration. The city is home to the Coalinga Oil Field, operated by Chevron and Aera Energy; the Guijarral Hills Oil Field; Pleasant Valley State Prison; and Coalinga State Hospital.
Coalinga is home to California's first new mental health hospital in more than 50 years: a 1,500-bed facility built specifically to house sexually violent predators. Coalinga State Hospital opened in September 2005.
Coalinga is the site of the primary campus of West Hills College, which is part of the California Community Colleges system. Its children are served by the Coalinga-Huron Joint Unified School District, of which Coalinga High School is a part.
The 2010 United States Census[10] reported that Coalinga had a population of 13,380. The population density was 2,175.8 people per square mile (840.1/km²). The racial makeup of Coalinga was 7,734 (57.8%) White, 549 (4.1%) African American, 171 (1.3%) Native American, 407 (3.0%) Asian, 36 (0.3%) Pacific Islander, 3,937 (29.4%) from other races, and 546 (4.1%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 7,161 persons (53.5%).
The Census reported that 11,752 people (87.8% of the population) lived in households, 130 (1.0%) lived in non-institutionalized group quarters, and 1,498 (11.2%) were institutionalized.
There were 3,896 households, out of which 1,809 (46.4%) had children under the age of 18 living in them, 1,913 (49.1%) were opposite-sex married couples living together, 658 (16.9%) had a female householder with no husband present, 311 (8.0%) had a male householder with no wife present. There were 341 (8.8%) unmarried opposite-sex partnerships, and 16 (0.4%) same-sex married couples or partnerships. 797 households (20.5%) were made up of individuals and 220 (5.6%) had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 3.02. There were 2,882 families (74.0% of all households); the average family size was 3.49.
The population was spread out with 3,763 people (28.1%) under the age of 18, 1,610 people (12.0%) aged 18 to 24, 3,646 people (27.2%) aged 25 to 44, 3,308 people (24.7%) aged 45 to 64, and 1,053 people (7.9%) who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 31.9 years. For every 100 females there were 123.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 132.1 males.
There were 4,344 housing units at an average density of 706.4 per square mile (272.7/km²), of which 1,996 (51.2%) were owner-occupied, and 1,900 (48.8%) were occupied by renters. The homeowner vacancy rate was 3.8%; the rental vacancy rate was 8.4%. 6,192 people (46.3% of the population) lived in owner-occupied housing units and 5,560 people (41.6%) lived in rental housing units.
At the census of 2000, there were 11,668 people, 3,515 households, and 2,632 families residing in the city. These included 805 people who were living in group homes.[11]
The racial makeup of Coalinga under those circumstances was 57.3 percent white, 2.4 percent African American, 1.5 percent Native American, 1.7 percent Asian, 0.2 percent Pacific Islander, 32.3 percent from other races, and 4.6 percent from two or more races. About half the population was Hispanic or Latino.
The median age in 2000 was 28.6 years, younger than the 33.3 figure for California and the 35.3 figure for the United States as a whole.
The median income for a family was $41,208, about $11,000 less than for other families in California or the country at large.
The Coalinga Chamber of Commerce Web site in 2007 estimated a population of 18,061 for the city.
2000 figures | Coalinga | California | United States |

The Harris Ranch, a major cattle ranch which also features a hotel, several restaurants, and a gift shop, is east of Coalinga, near Interstate 5.
Coalinga hosts the Horned Toad Derby each year over the Memorial Day weekend in late May.[12] The three-day event is similar to the more famous Jumping Frog Jubilee held in Calaveras County, California, but utilizes locally caught horned toads rather than frogs. This tradition began in 1935.[13]
On the November weekend closest to Montgolfiere Day (November 21) each year, Coalinga is host to the annual WHAMOBASS Balloon Rally, the longest consecutively running annual hot air balloon rally in the world, sponsored by the Whiskey Hill Atherton Menlo Oaks Ballooning & Sporting Society. Typically, more than 40 balloons ascend at dawn on Saturday and Sunday morning from the athletic field of West Hills College. A small number fly on Friday and occasionally on Thursday.[14]
The R.C. Baker Memorial Museum is housed in the former Baker Oil Tools machine shop. The museum continues to accept items from visitors to add to its collection. The museum displays local fossils, models of prehistoric fauna, native American artifacts, and items from pioneer settlers.
The Coalinga Rifle Club, whose 25 point, 1000 yard range facility is west of town, is host to various California State Rifle Championships. These include: California State Long Range, Mid Range, Palma Rifle, Fullbore, Service Rifle and High Power Championships. It is also the home of the California Grizzlies, Junior National Champions for the last four years. They have recreational facilities for rifle, pistol, shotgun and a 500 meter Metallic Silhouette Range.
The New Coalinga Municipal Airport is host to the annual Northern California Aerobatic contest.[15] Relocated from Paso Robles in 2013, this early June event is typically the largest of five annual California regional aerobatic contests sanctioned by the International Aerobatic Club.[16] Visitors to the airport are welcome to view upwards of 45 pilots flying a wide variety of competitive aircraft in five categories of competition over a two-day period.

I like flash. I mean, its resource hungry, and alot of devices dont support it. But i just kinda liked it. Plus getting rid of it means someone/someones loses their job(s).
I tell you what-make a user friendly HTML5 project creator, like adobe flash, and im in. Or does one already exist?
I just read the last article in this post: "EU bans claim that water can prevent dehydration"
I was laughed when reading the whole article....xD

Yeah, I love making flash websites, well so far I made one. Thinking about flash being wiped from the face of web is quite scary.
Pretty impressive, wonder how it compares to their west coast facility which is supposed to be huge.

Fairchild Republic Warthog, A-10 Thunderbolt II at the California Capital Airshow.
The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. The A-10 was designed for a United States Air Force requirement to provide close air support (CAS) for ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets with a limited air interdiction capability. It is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed solely for close air support.

Think GlobalThe emergence of China as an electronics manufacturing powerhouse has changed the supply chain forever. As China continues to evolve, the next step for innovative companies will be determining what's next. There is no longer a single supply chain to and from China, explained Jonathan Wright, a managing partner at Accenture, in a Webinar sponsored by the Harvard Business Review entitled "How Can Businesses Navigate Asia's Increasingly Complex Supply Chain Systems?" There are actually four supply chains: East to West (exports from China to ROW); West to East (China as a demand point for Western products); intra-Asia (exports from China to regions such as India); and intra-regional (China to China or India to India). Just as there is no single supply chain, there is no single solution. Different regions in Asia/Pacific are developing at different rates, experts point out, which has affected supply chain evolution. Australia has followed a Western model and has developed an infrastructure that enables same-day shipping. In other parts of Asia, the infrastructure can't support expedited logistics. "We have figured out the China-to-America supply chain," said Hau Lee, a professor at the Stanford University's School of Business, during the Webinar, "but less is known about the intra-country flow between Asian countries. It's not just transit costs: Getting signed approvals to ship between countries is a real bottleneck." The minimal cross-border approval requires two signatures; the maximum is 48, he said. Companies are beginning to recognize there is no one China or one Asia supply chain model -- there are an infinite number of possibilities. Panelist Tom Linton, chief procurement officer for EMS provider Flextronics, said he expects companies to increasingly adopt control tower models to keep on top of the Asian supply chain. IT infrastructure and tools have improved to the degree that many companies can utilize the model. The cloud not only enables control towers, but makes them cost effective, he said. Countries that have a good IT infrastructure will be able to adopt these tools better, and will have an advantage. The varying development rates of the Asia region is one challenge to overcome. "Many companies have control towers, but few are building what I'd call the 'airports' yet," said Linton. "There will be airports or hubs where companies can integrate their information, and those that do will have an advantage." Companies will have to make better use of data that is available to the supply chain, said Stanford's Lee. The supply chain needs people with analytical experience to make sense of all these demand signals. Companies are always looking for new sources of data -- mobility solutions, social media -- that will give insight into who the customers are. "With the diverse population you have in China and other parts of Asia, the data is valuable, but currently not part of the typical operating mode," Lee added. Lee suggests a lot more information can be extracted from existing supply chains. He shared an anecdote about how Nike wanted to develop a wrinkle-free golf shirt. Nike had no experience in fibers or making cloth, but one of its Asian supply chain partners did. The partner was vertically integrated, and understood everything from the kind of cotton to use, to the ginning of the cotton. Nike was able to leverage its supply base and get the product to market within months. Lee pointed out that innovation will be increasingly coming out of China. There are businesses that have developed a deep expertise in niche areas. The challenge will be getting these experts to work together in cross functional teams, and that will take a cultural change, he said. "Asian companies understand Asia," said Lee. "They can leverage this to become leaders rather than followers." However, Asian companies will have to adapt to what Western companies have discovered: There is no Asian supply chain or North or South American supply chain -- the supply chain is global. "The more global it becomes, the more Asian companies have to look at how they manage other markets," Lee said. The panel didn't rule out the possibility of onshoring or reshoring in the US as part of the development trend. Because supply chains will require a mixed strategy, some level of reshoring would make sense. Companies will increasingly customize products closer to demand. Linton pointed out that global labor costs are leveling out, so low cost is no longer the competitive difference. That, he said, will come from innovation. |

Comments: does its job with out making the water cloudy
Comments: i have a 250 gal tank and it keep my water cystal clear
Comments: This product seems to work well. I had a cloudy tank and decided to try the clarifier instead of a 10% water change and media swap. Within 24 hours, my tank was crystal clear. I did end up doing the 10% water change because that's the RIGHT THING to do. But, the clarifier did what it was supposed to do. In a pinch, it's good stuff to use.
Comments: Tried in two different 55 gallon aquariums. First tank has general population on non agressive critters. Cleared overnight nicely. Second is aggressive system with triggers and lions, took two doses but did a great overall job.
Thank you for taking the time to review our products.

British AIM-listed exploration company Beowulf Mining has stopped drilling at its Kallak iron ore project in northern Sweden after being found to not have a valid work permit.
The case was brought to light by the indigenous Saami community, which is concerned about the impact on its way of life and the effect on the environment from Beowulf's drilling.
Beowulf stopped drilling at the Kallak project in the third week of December after a Saami rights group found that its work plan for the site expired in November 2010.

Keywords: Tags titanium, International Titanium Association, ITA, Titanium Europe, Brett Paddock, Frank Haflich
LOS ANGELES With its first overseas conference in 15 years slated for 2013, the International Titanium Association (ITA) is looking to live up to its name and build its brand as a worldwide organization.
"Were really trying to implement the strategic objective of making the ITA more international," said Brett Paddock, who was elected association president at the ITAs annual conference in Atlanta in October. He wants the ITA to be seen as "an international organization that happens to be based in the United States"
To support this goal, ITA is sponsoring a Titanium Europe conference and exhibition in Hamburg, Germany, from March 5 to 7, the first time the association has hosted a major gathering outside the United States since 1998, when it held its annual meeting in Monaco.
The Hamburg meeting is being billed by the ITA as a "platform specifically focused on European-oriented topics." It will include a tour of the Hamburg facility of Toulouse, France-based Airbus SAS, the main rival of Chicago-based aerospace giant Boeing Co. and, along with Boeing, one of the worlds major titanium consumers.
Paddock said the response to the Hamburg meeting has been strong so far, noting that exhibit space for the European event sold out at the Atlanta conference. While the ITAs fall conference is perhaps the global industrys most high-profile event, Paddock would like to see an offshore conference also held on a regular basis.
"The idea is to be able to maintain a secondary international conference annually," he said.
Unlike titanium associations in many other countries, whose primary role is to collect national trade and market statistics, the ITA has been seen increasingly as a forum for addressing the industrys issues and developing applications on a worldwide basis. More than a third of the associations 228 members are from outside the United States, and Paddock said the organization is looking to grow its global presence even further.
Paddock, who is president and chief executive officer of Rockaway, N.J.-based distributor Titanium Industries Inc., said that strong backlogs reported by major commercial aircraft builders such as Boeing and Airbus, as well as the titanium industrys capacity increases in recent years, has helped smooth out some of the extreme fluctuations that have plagued the industry in the past.
"The long-term forecast for the industry is strong," said Paddock, noting that one of the main historic challenges for ITA members has been managing cyclicality. "Were going to base our decisions at ITA on that forecast."

Keywords: Tags salvage yard, car crusher, Robert Brown, Lisa Gordon
PITTSBURGH The owner of a Moretown, Vt., salvage yard will have to hire a consultant and pay fines after admitting to hazardous waste violations.
Robert E. Brown has pleaded guilty to two counts of releasing hazardous waste and two counts of improperly storing hazardous waste, according to a release from the state attorney general. The charges are misdemeanors.
Brown allegedly directed two workers to crush as many as 30 hazardous waste containers in a car crusher, resulting in the contents spilling to the ground and causing soil contamination, according to a December 2008 investigation by the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
An earlier DEC inspection claimed to have found that Brown was storing waste oil, gasoline, antifreeze, and lead-acid car batteries in violation of the states Hazardous Waste Management Regulations.
Brown was sentenced to six to 12 months in jail, which was suspended. He is on probation for a two-year period and must pay $11,644 in fines and court costs.
Brown couldnt be reached for comment.
The plea agreement also calls for Brown to hire a DEC-approved consultant who will be responsible for supervising ongoing operations and determine if any remediation efforts are necessary. If a cleanup is warranted, the supervisor will prepare and implement a plan to restore the soil.

Lock your car! Unlocked cars perfect targets, thieves looking in your driveway…
On August 2 and 3, thieves ran through Lakes of Summerville, emptying unlocked cars of valuables.
Seven vehicles were hit between 7 p.m. August 2 and 6 a.m. August 3 on Savannah River Dr. and Seneca River Dr., in Summerville, according to Summerville Police.
One Garmin GPS valued at $140 was reported stolen. All the vehicles had their center consoles rummaged through and items scattered across the seats.
Police were able to pull fingerprints from some of the vehicles.
SPD PIO Jon Rogers cautions people to make sure they lock their cars.
"Just because it is in your own driveway, does not make it secure," say police.
SPD Dispatcher Pam Curtiss told a recent Citizens Police Academy class that "there is nowhere in Summerville that can be considered "safe" from some sort of crime."
Curtiss says dispatchers hear it all the time…vehicle theft, items stolen from unlocked vehicles, houses, etc. She says the community needs to be smart and protect itself.
A community member commented on how "while normal people are at work, criminals canvass neighborhoods and keep track of schedules and know when cars and houses are empty or unattended. They know when to strike."
Rogers wishes he had a dollar for every time he has asked folks if their car was locked and been told "no."
He sighs, shakes his head and says "lock you car!"

(PRESS RELEASE)- The Wisconsin Woodchucks (7-2, 25-19) won their seventh game in a row Saturday night as they defeated the Green Bay Bullfrogs (3-5, 21-21) at Joannes Stadium 5-4. The Woodchucks led for most of the ballgame and ultimately were able to hold off the Bullfrogs offense to secure the win.
It was the Bullfrogs who scored first when starter Jordan Luvisi (0-3) allowed three straight hits in the third inning to give the Bullfrogs a 2-0 lead. Luvisi did not return following the third inning and finished with 3 innings pitched, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out one.
The 'Chucks rallied right back in the top of the fourth with 4 hits and 2 walks to score 5 times and chase starter Mike Thomas (2-1). Brad Schreiber (0-4) finished the fourth inning after being charged with the fifth run. The big blow in the inning came with Schreiber on the mound when Kevin Pillar drilled the first pitch to left center field for a 2 RBI double that capped off the Woodchucks rally and gave them a 5-2 lead. Pillar finished 3-5 with the two RBI and his 18th stolen base.
The Woodchucks would not score again in the game, but their pitching was able to do enough to secure the win. Jerad Eickhoff (2-2) started the fourth inning and was able to guide the Woodchucks through the middle innings, holding onto the lead with 2 runs allowed in 4+ innings of work with 4 strikeouts. Eickhoff's gutsy effort was rewarded with his second win of the season as he left with a 5-4 lead.
Anthony Drobnick (1-2) came in with a runner on in the eighth to attempt a 6 out save and quickly ended the inning. In the ninth, Drobnick hit a pair of batters in the bottom of the ninth, which put the tying run in scoring position with one out and the winning run aboard, but Drobnick jammed and popped up Brad Zapenas and Tom Barry on 3-2 counts to end the game and earn his fourth save.
The Woodchucks go for eight in a row Sunday night as they finish the 3-game set with the Bullfrogs at Athletic Park before the all-star break begins Monday. First pitch is at 5:05 and is the Woodchucks Game of the Week on Fox Sports 1390 WRIG and sister stations WSAU 550 AM and 99.9 FM.

At around £280, the Vita Audio R2i certainly isn't cheap, but it feels like money well spent once you've got your hands on it. A heavy case, two good speakers, a bundled remote and an iPod dock set this unit one step above most all-in-one radios, making it an ideal halfway house between a true portable and a mini system with separate speakers.
Body beautiful
In height and width, the R2i isn't much smaller than a video recorder. The black finish on our test unit was beautiful, smooth and glossy, and, as a bonus, seemingly impervious to fingerprints. If this doesn't suit your decor, there are two alternatives available: white and walnut veneer.
The speakers are set into the front, rather than the top, as they are with its smaller tabletop rival, the Tivoli Model DAB. The controls and iPod dock are mounted on the top of the unit. The controls, like the screen, glow blue when in use, and have a satisfying, responsive action. The volume control is a circular rocker, rather than a knob, which you turn and hold in either direction rather than continually twisting.
Beyond this, there's a three-level EQ and 3D wide stereo enhancement. We found that turning off 3D and leaving the EQ set to 'normal' delivered the best results. They're good to have, but they aren't killer features.
Control confusion
The controls are arranged in a circle around the volume dial, which is logical enough, and they're replicated on the bundled remote. But, while the controls on the remote work just fine for the radio, they're less well-conceived when it comes to controlling your iPod. The up and down buttons that you use to scroll through the DAB stations also skip backwards and forwards through tracks in an album or playlist on an iPod. Vita Audio has had to find another way to let you step up and down through menus -- you use the buttons for presets two and four. The button for preset two, which you use for stepping down through menus, sits on the top line, while the button for preset four, which is used for stepping up through menus, sits below. It's confusing, as you can imagine.
Tuning in
Set-up is a breeze. The first time you plug in the R2i, it runs through the DAB autoscan. We used the bundled telescopic aerial and it detected the full range of stations available in our test area, but it didn't hold the local multiplex as well as some competitors. The portable Roberts Revival RD-60, for example, proved much more tenacious, even with the aerial fully retracted and clipped away, while the R2i's was fully extended. We fixed the problem with some careful repositioning of the unit, but, if you have a roof-mounted aerial, you may want to make use of that instead, courtesy of the bundled adaptor.
The R2i has tuners for DAB and DAB+, so it's ready to receive stations using the latter technology when they launch in the UK. There are already DAB+ broadcasts in other European nations. Sadly, there's no L-Band support, which, while not crucial in the UK, is another option that may become more popular in future years.
The Vita Audio R2i sounds great and has the looks to match. Its built-in iPod dock transforms it from a high-class radio into a multi-function hi-fi, and, although the remote's buttons could have been better conceived, we were impressed by the smooth integration between the R2i and Apple's media players. It's a sizeable beast but, if it's to be your only source of music and radio in a small house or flat, it's a great choice in every respect.

You know something, my roommate told me directly that he doesn't like playing games where he's the female, because it makes him feel weird.. because he's not a girl himself. I've never heard such a 'closed up' remark before.. I told him.. "Dude, it's a STORY, you're playing in a written piece in an interactive movie. I bet you didn't say that shit when you watched Trinity kick the shit out of the cops in the beginning of MATRIX" and he didn't say anything. But it just goes to show how either selfish, or close-minded some people are because they THINK they have to be badass, or playing some muscle-bound idiot of a character like Kratos, in order to be satisfied with the rest of the game... I just don't get it.

I'd love to live in a world where publishers would worry MORE about making a quality title, and LESS about whether or not their lead character has a schlong. If you can't enjoy a great game just because the main character pees differently than you, that's just pathetic. I had really hoped we'd be past this stupid shit by now. I, for one, am just hoping this game is decent. Post RE6 and the on disk DLC fiasco with Street Fighter x Tekken, that little Capcom logo in the corner has me far more concerned than the lady bits on the cover.
"Dontnod Entertainment creative director says publishers claimed female-fronted game would have little sales potential."
I'm not seeing how as games are normally directed at young adults and teens, and that audience is large number of boys, so women makes sales. =/ I know it sounds sexist but hormone driven teens like women, lol.
they should have the option of both genders.. like mass effect.. playing as a woman just feels wierd to me. this game sounds interesting but the female only character puts me off. spending a bit more money on animating a male character would of covered both options. unless this game is outstanding, theyve lost a sale.
My advice if you are going to offer a game with a female character only is to keep the games a mix of both male and female. In other words, if you think the female character only is the new gaming core you are wrong--imo. And if you can offer a game where you can play either gender that works very well for me too.
My biggest problem with gaming today are games like Halo 4, Assassin's Creed III, Mass Effect 3, Prototype 2, and maybe Tomb Raider--I haven't played the latest, etc. I want fresh new stories and characters. Halo 4 was BORING. Assassin's Creed III was BORING. I didn't go far in either one before just quitting!
-> I know that is a good game from Capcom and it has some new ideas in it . If the publishers are really worried about the character why they have started with a female ?!? And if they still dont know what to do they can let us choose our character between male (?) and female (Nilin) !
Well, here is something worth reading " http://www.gamespot.com/news/women-are-the-new-core-says-microsoft-narrative-designer-6406037 "
are those publishers braindead? I'd like the see the age and gender demographic on them.
this is some major BS. games won't sell if you don't $%$ing make them! holding the industry back indeed...
These fools only concerns is for money. They do not understand, it makes no difference, does the game make sense or is it playable. After all of this time, now it matters.....alot of bull.
...um...not to sure what to say here, but while publishers have a right to be worried about raising sales to the broadest paying audience available this particular concern has been losing it's weight for years. Not even counting the fact that more females play games than ever before, it's a fact that many good games have proven that a main character's success has more to do with good writing and interesting gameplay than it's general appearance or gender. Some games that involve the player projecting themselves as the personality of the main character, like RPGs such as Skyrim or Mass Effect, the option of choosing what the main character is might carry more impact. However for most games in which the story is more linear, like God of War, Resident Evil, or Halo, this issue carries much less since the experience is more like watching the movie than acting out the lead within it, in my opinion.
@Ratsneve You people don't seem to get. It's not about YOU. it's about the market. The buying potential of women is mostly in the world of warcraft, aps and angry birds. They'd just waste the money in making the game. If you want for games with women to have success buy more games . Don't complain on feminist sites or force your own desires on comment sections because that's not how it works.

Some brain storming from our google doc.
Lukas Esch:
- Guardian guarding the entry to an old civilisation under the earth
- civilisation looks a bit slum like, because they had to escape from the upper earth ( upper earth is not habitable anymore )
- power supply is some kind of magic thats flowing under the earth (visible as streams of blue light ? )
-> this magic is used to heal people,
- last groups of survivors from the upper world try to break into the culture to take over the last power supply
(Alex adding on , maybe the people in upper world are zombies? XD)
Comming soon...The Dark Ramalooke Rises...
Alex Ashby:
-Guardian is guarding an ancient temple created by a long forgotten civilization.
-the surrounding indigenous people are primitive, they view this robot as a god.
-the robot dont let them into the temple though! In fact it kills them if they try xD =(
-Guardian has pet robots too (iPhone and iPad xDDD)
-Medieval City (with churches and stuff like that...)
-Mix sci-fi with middle ages (and maybe a bit of fantasy?)
- Ideas/inspiration: http://www.abload.de/img/conceptartchallenge20rczb.png
(Alex adding onto idea) - There is broken off religious faction that plans to cease government power by holding a coup against the king. The guardian is an assassin with a mission of assassinating the leader of this religious group. (And welcome to Assassins Creed 4 xD, but i like this thought very much !!(unfortunately this kind of storyline already exists )
-Vehicle: rino-wolf-bear-like riding animals (?) or more sci-fi some motorcycle that levitates instead of having wheels
-Maybe the guardian is fighting at the front of the homeland army, protecting the city from the evil legion
Aryeh (Jakeh)
-1920s Italy (this was the time when Italy was a Fascist state)
-Temple of Thelema, where mysticism is being restored according to the ancient rites of hermetic magic by Aleister Crowley.
- The guardians protect the secrets of the Corpus Hermeticum, an ancient document that that keeps the secrets of the transient sages.
-The temple of Thelema holds the secrets of every religion.
-The guardian is the baphomet.
- He is a greater demon that has been turned into a slave.
- He is subjugated by an all female group knows as Arcanum Arcanis.
-Referencing lots of italian sculpture, elaborate/ornate embelishments, musculature.
-Inspiration/Ideas - http://i.imgur.com/XhjHx.jpg
(I think it would be smart to establish a style guide as well)
Alex- I think Jakeh's idea is very cool. But why is the guardian a slave and is subjugated?
This is what we decided.
- Guardian is guarding an ancient temple created by a long forgotten civilization.
- Guardian is pretty fuckin old robot and he run out of batteries long time ago. Now hes standing/laying there covered in jungle and shit,
- Current habitants are descendants of this forgotten civ. (need to show this in the design. like common culture features, similar symbols their wearing. stuff like this)
- Whole thing should be fogy and moody, to get this ancient feel.
How about the weekend?
Saturday or Sunday for example.
RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAaAAAAAAOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSOM E XDXDXD
Some more sketches and a study!
more sketches
Some crappy sketches i made...
There is also one here : http://ice-sketchbook.blogspot.de/20...-guardian.html
Hey yeah.
Cool sketches from all of you.
I drew this two thumbs today.
First one doesn't match that good if we make the temple really small. If there could be an complete huge area behind the temple then we could make use of it.
The other one could be the gate to get inside the temple. Of course, we would need to detail it more, but I really like the perspective view.
looks good you two!
The second one was scribbled over Larissa's
I like the mood of Larissa's second one and Alex's second one (which is basically just a paint over).
In my opinion this color pattern wasn't used that much in temple topics before. Right now it looks kinda unique.
ok here's mine. but this water idea kinda resonates with me. so i like those by alex and larissa
A few more
Some creature silloettes and studies I was thinking since we talked about the Guardian being really old and worn down that the creature be kind of cute. I was thinking perhaps it has the ablilty to communicate with the wildlife and can use the wildlife to get an idea of what is going on in the surrounding area
Alex, these thumbnails are looking like pokémon xDD
Kinda reminded me ~

"In the end, how you get seeded, whether you access the tournament, often relies on who you play in the nonconference,'' Bowlsby said. "You don't often have anything to say about who you play in the conference schedule, but you have everything to say about who play in your nonconference. If you're the fifth-rated team and you've played nobody, there may be a sixth-rated team who played a representative schedule that gets bounced over the top of you.''
The Big 12 has discussed scheduling alliances with the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conference other conferences, to help create more attractive and challenging games. Bowlsby said "that will allow us to ensure our TV partners of good matches and also give us a little more strength in the nonconference schedule.''
He said he expects there will be unbeaten teams left out of the four-team playoff "simply because there's somebody with one loss that is deemed to be a better team.''
He said he plans to talk scheduling with the league's football coaches soon.
Bowlsby also said the formation of the committee that will pick the four teams for the upcoming football playoff is progressing. He said it will be larger than the NCAA Division I basketball tournament committee, of which he was the chairman in 2004 and 2005. The committee could possibly even have former or current media members, he said.
"It will have a composition that includes people that are not on campuses or in conference offices,'' he said. "There will be people with solid football backgrounds. How big it will be, it could be 16, it could be 18, it could be 24. We haven't refined it to that point yet.
"We have begun working around the metrics with which we'll arm the members of that committee. It will be a lot more, obviously, than just taking the six or eight polls that are available to them and regurgitating what those things have to say. We need to work hard on formulating tools that will allow us to differentiate one good team from another good team. It's a process that cries out for the best thinkers we can get.''
At a meeting April 23 in southern California, the site of the first championship game could be finalized and "we'll know a lot more about the composition and rudiments of the committee,'' he said. "I'd say that we're right on the time frame.''

Vanessa Del & The Banana Man
March 10th, 2011
Vanessa Del is one of the top three most famous women in the Dominican Republic, the other two being, of course, Miosotis and Kristina Milan. For her great service to this beautiful island nation, making it world-famous with big-tit lovers, Largo presents Vanessa with a special medal which he attempts to pin on her chest. This special medal is his face. His head is a punching bag for Vanessa's massive, swinging gazongas but he enjoys every swipe and collision. What respectable tit-man would not? Vanessa happily leads Largo over to the veranda so he can properly reward her with another medal--this one is in his pants. Vanessa's hooters are just made for sliding bananas between. She slips out of her sexy, skimpy dress after lubing Largo's banana with her wet tongue and their tropical thumping kicks in high gear. Yes, life in the DR is really where it's at, especially with hotties like Vanessa Del decorating the place and draining your cajones, amigo.

The Arabidopsis Nucleosome Remodeler DDM1 Allows DNA Methyltransferases to Access H1-Containing Heterochromatin
Cell, Volume 153, Issue 1, 28 March 2013, Pages 193-205
Assaf Zemach, M. Yvonne Kim, Ping-Hung Hsieh, Devin Coleman-Derr, Leor Eshed-Williams, Ka Thao, Stacey L. Harmer and Daniel Zilberman
SummaryNucleosome remodelers of the DDM1/Lsh family are required for DNA methylation of transposable elements, but the reason for this is unknown. How DDM1 interacts with other methylation pathways, such as small-RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM), which is thought to mediate plant asymmetric methylation through DRM enzymes, is also unclear. Here, we show that most asymmetric methylation is facilitated by DDM1 and mediated by the methyltransferase CMT2 separately from RdDM. We find that heterochromatic sequences preferentially require DDM1 for DNA methylation and that this preference depends on linker histone H1. RdDM is instead inhibited by heterochromatin and absolutely requires the nucleosome remodeler DRD1. Together, DDM1 and RdDM mediate nearly all transposon methylation and collaborate to repress transposition and regulate the methylation and expression of genes. Our results indicate that DDM1 provides DNA methyltransferases access to H1-containing heterochromatin to allow stable silencing of transposable elements in cooperation with the RdDM pathway.

Hiroyuki Okamoto and Hirohiko Hirochika
AbstractPlant genomes contain many transposable elements, most of which are inactivated or 'silenced'. Recent studies have brought significant new insights into the regulation of transposable elements. In Caenorhabditis elegans, they are silenced post-transcriptionally, whereas transposable elements in Arabidopsis are silenced by a chromatin-remodelling factor, one of the components of transcriptional gene silencing. These observations provide the functional correlation between gene silencing and the suppression of transposable elements, and have major implications for our understanding of the maintenance of genomic integrity.

Add/View Comments (0)The Complete Sequence of a Heterochromatic Island from a Higher Eukaryote
The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Washington University Genome Sequencing Center, and PE Biosystems Arabidopsis Sequencing Consortium*
- Heterochromatin, constitutively condensed chromosomal material, is widespread among eukaryotes but incompletely characterized at the nucleotide level. We have sequenced and analyzed 2.1 megabases (Mb) of Arabidopsis thaliana chromosome 4 that includes 0.5–0.7 Mb of isolated heterochromatin that resembles the chromosomal knobs described by Barbara McClintock in maize. This isolated region has a low density of expressed genes, low levels of recombination and a low incidence of genetrap insertion. Satellite repeats were absent, but tandem arrays of long repeats and many transposons were found. Methylation of these sequences was dependent on chromatin remodeling. Clustered repeats were associated with condensed chromosomal domains elsewhere. The complete sequence of a heterochromatic island provides an opportunity to study sequence determinants of chromosome condensation.

Reference | EN 60349-1:2010 |
Title | Electric traction - Rotating electrical machines for rail and road vehicles - Part 1: Machines other than electronic converter-fed alternating current motors |
Project Number | 22463 |
Abstract/Scope | IEC 60349-1:2010 is applicable to rotating electrical machines, other than electronic converter-fed alternating current motors, forming part of the equipment of electrically propelled rail and road vehicles.

Thanks Gabriel. I'm glad that this will work. After you've had your morning brew would you mind elaborating on what a pogoplug is and where it is beneficial ?
Assuming you have used Apple's Cloud and your WD Cloud - which one would you say works more smoothly and simply ?
And I assume that once I give her access to my WD Cloud she can access it using her iPad ? Are there Apple apps for NAS drives to make this access easier for her?
Thank you again.
