0 A.D. Alpha 17 Quercus (OS X Version)Oct 19, 2014 Full Version 0 comments
Triggers, units on walls, gameplay balancing, and a lot more.
0 A.D. (pronounced "zero ey-dee") is a free, open-source, cross-platform real-time strategy (RTS) game of ancient warfare. It's a historically-based war/economy game that allows players to relive or rewrite the history of twelve ancient civilizations, each depicted at their peak of economic growth and military prowess.
The twelve factions are: Three of the Hellenic States (Athens, Sparta and Macedonia), two of the kingdoms of Alexander the Great's successors (Seleucids and Ptolemaic Egyptians), two Celtic tribes (Britons and Gauls), the Republican Romans, the Achaemenid Persians, the Iberians, the Carthaginians, and the Mauryan Indians. Each civilization is complete with substantially unique artwork, technologies and civilization bonuses.
Developed using Pyrogenesis, a game engine custom-built to suit our needs, 0 A.D. will give players a rich and entertaining real-time gaming experience. 0 A.D. is portable, running not only on Windows, like most games, but also on Linux and Mac OS X.
We believe free, OS software like 0 A.D. encourages sharing, learning and creativity. That's why we have made the code and data available under the GPL license, and released the art, sound and documentation under CC-BY-SA. Modifying the game's data files is as simple as editing JavaScript and XML files, so anyone can learn how the game was developed and share their own contribution to the 0 A.D. world.
0 A.D. is being developed by Wildfire Games, a community of volunteer, hobbyist game developers from all over the world. 0 A.D. has been an open source project since July 2009. We're looking for programmers, 3d artists and more.

Wildfire Games, an international group of volunteer game developers, proudly announces the release of "0 A.D. Alpha 17 Quercus", the seventeenth alpha version of 0 A.D., a free, open-source game of ancient warfare. This alpha features a major gameplay rebalance, units on walls, trigger support, improved mod support and more!
Download and installation instructions are available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. 0 A.D. is free of charge and always will be. Although you might find some people selling copies of 0 A.D., either over the internet or on physical media, you will always have the option to download 0 A.D.completely gratis, directly from the developers.
Moreover, you can redistribute the game and modify it freely as long as you abide by the GPL. You can even use parts of the art and sound for your own projects as long as you abide by CC BY-SA. No "freemium" model, no in-game advertising, no catch.
If you build an outpost within a certain area (event), your enemy's walls are destroyed (action);
Alternatively, if a timer runs out (event), an army spawns on the border of the map and marches towards your city (action);
Or, if a certain building is destroyed (event), the player who owns it loses the game (action).
The new trigger system is perhaps the most important feature that was missing to make narrative campaigns and scenarios possible. Triggers also make it easier to design custom victory conditions, or even multiplayer maps with unique gameplay aspects. Events and actions are easily extensible with some Javascript knowledge and offer a huge set of new possibilities for creative map designers.
Survival of the Fittest: Each player has one female citizen in the middle of the map where treasures spawn from time to time. The main bases are on isolated spots with no resources and some buildings are restricted. Enemy attack forces spawn regularly and attack your main base. The goal is to survive as long as possible by collecting treasures, recruiting troops and defending your base. (Map type: Random; Map Filter: Standard)
Treasure Islands: Search treasures on small islands and on the water. Collect more treasures than your opponent to win. You can use fishing boats to garrison infantry and send them to other islands. Trade ships can be used to collect floating treasures, but you need to advance to Town Phase before they can be built. (Map type: Scenario; Map Filter: Naval Maps)
Several parts of the game and the engine have been improved for better performance. Comparing with Alpha 16, you'll notice significantly higher framerates at the beginning of the game. There are also some improvements observable later in the game, but also additional overhead from new features. Improvements have been made in these areas:
Please see the "Get Support" page on our website to find ways to get help from the active and friendly 0 A.D. community.We are well aware there is some room for improvement in 0 A.D. Some known issues are: Lag, visual glitches or textures not loaded, missing animations and more. When you provide feedback, we would ask you to focus on some of the other points that could be improved. Thanks.
We are seeking volunteer contributors in programming, art, sound, documentation and more. Programmers are especially welcome and can get started immediately.Interested? Log onto #0ad-dev on QuakeNet on IRC and meet the developers. Also, you are invited toregister on our forums and start participating!
Do you want to try your hand at creating new maps? Especially now that triggers have been added? Then you get some extra motivation from the Council of Modders who are now hosting a map making contest. They do encourage you to make use of triggers and graphical mods as triggers and better mod support are important features in this release. The deadline is 30th November.
We name our releases according to development status ("Alpha" or "Beta"), successive release number (1, 2, 3, …) and a word relating to the ancient world, in alphabetical order ("Argonaut" for A, "Bellerophon" for B, …)."Quercus" is Latin for "oak tree". The name relates to 0 A.D. as it could refer to the oak leaves used in the corona civica, a military honor given to a citizen who saved the life of other citizens or soldiers whilst in battle. Recipients were allowed to enter the Roman Senate, and were required to wear them at public gatherings. (Thanks, Jonathan L.!) This name suits this version well because of the many bugfixes and optimizations in Alpha 17 that make the game stabler and more mature, like an old oak tree. Also, the increased support for mods allows the game to easily diverge into more varieties of gameplay, like branches growing from a tree trunk. (Thanks, ltms!).For the next alpha, we welcome fan suggestions for words relating to the ancient world beginning with the letter R. Keep it original and related to the time frame portrayed in 0 A.D. (appx. 500 BC – 1 BC)!

Triggers, units on walls, gameplay balancing, and a lot more.

This looks great! I will try it out this eventing.
Just want to say i really love this game, and i want to thank you for making it free. Big game companies charge huge money for dlcs and stuff like that, and you made this awesome game completely for free.
I'm trying to put my custom map in the "addons" section of the mod's page, but It's not letting me link my custom map to it.
If you guys have it locked, can you please unlock it?
Reminds me age of empires and age of mythology :D What a great game ! I love playing it although it has bugs in it ! If the game is in fully development in future , why not the developer put it on steam ? It would be a great idea because its free and its worth it ( Not like some free games which is pay to win )
Thank you very much for your effort and your team's effort ! Hopefully one day this game will be a succesful game !
Sorry to ask if this game will be free when its in fully development ?
Can you tell me how to translate into Chinese? I'd like to introduce it to my friends:)
This is really weird, some of the replies were posted before the comment itself. I don't know what's wrong with my computer...
BTW, where can I find more updates? It doesn't seem like there has been any updates since July...I've been away for quite a while
Downloaded 2 days ago I must say I love this game keep up the great work the game is fantastic just hope you guys fix the lag when you have massive armies it sort of makes it unplayable but it was still fun at like 2 fps

Gas barbecue for small family
We have a small patio, and wish to purchase a smallish, high quality gas barbecue on a moveable cart which can hold the gas tank. We generally cook for two and may occasionally cook for four, but never more. We have looked at Weber, Char Broil, Ducane, etc. and are wondering if anyone has any strong preference. Getting a good sear on steaks, and easy cleanup are both important.
Weber I think still makes a 2 burner which is smallish Ducane I don't know. I see too many Char Broils at the curb to consider one. My 3 burner Weber has lasted for 12 years now and all I've ever replaced are the flavor bars (once) and the cook top (twice). Oh and the gas line too after a squirell ate through it. Now I have one of those spring covers over the line.
re: josephnl
Yeah, I know. But ignorance and abuse of the language are, of course, widespread.
In the 80's jfood would throw out his Charbroil after 2 years; first weber lasted ~15 years.
jfood moved and bought another weber genesis 3-burner in 1997. As he types he is still looking at it on the terrace. Now for full disclosure he has replaced the starter once, the grates twice and the flavorizing bars once. He also uses it 200+ nights a year even in rain and snow.
Consumer Reports rated gas grills earlier this year. Top rated medium size grill was the Weber 320 (310 if you don't need a side burner). They also highly rated other less expensive grills. However when I read all of the user reviews on the CU website -- probably over 200 reviews total of all of the high ranked grills, I found that only the Webers seemed a) to last for a long time, b) continued to have parts available virtually forever (unlike the Uniflame I had bought at Walmart and had the grates rust out), c) have good customer service, and according to their owners, provide consistent heat both in the high and low range.
Just after my posting above I did go ahead and actually buy the Weber Genesis EP-320, the one with the stainless steel cooking grates and flavorizor bars, plus the side burner. I bought it from the local ACE dealer becasue a) they sell a lot of them, b) the assemble them and deliver for no charge, and c) it's a family business and they're there to help if there are any problems. Point of information, get a color as opposed to black; they all start out black and then the colors are sprayed over the black making for a heavier porcelain coating.
re: junescook
You're suggesting that the color impacts cooking significantly?
re: junescook
I'd suspect it should probably be an aesthetic decision, then.
We've had a Weber Genesis for several years and have been very happy with it. If space was an issue, and the Genesis was too big, I'd probably get the Weber Q320. A friend with a small patio has an earlier model in the Q series and is very happy with it.
Boy, do I feel like the odd man out! My last gas grill was a Weber- I used it a lot, replaced the flavor bars a couple of times, and a few other parts, but after 5 years it had so many parts that needed replacing that I hauled it away. 5 years did not seem like a long time for me, so I was determined to get something *besides* a Weber the next time.
Went to Lowe's and ended up with a Char Broil. Don't recall the model, but I got the one that has a glass panel covering one of the burners, the object being that it would get *really* hot and sear meat better than anything else out there.
And it did too, maybe twice.
Now I have to remove the grill and the glass panel just to light the burner, and it doesn't want to stay lit. Also, with every burner going full out, I can barely get the temperature above 380 degrees, but with only one burner going at the lowest setting, I can't get it below 325.
I hate it- and it wasn't cheap either! Next time, think I'm going to go back to charcoal and buy a Big Green Egg. Or else a Weber Smoky Joe- always loved them...
re: Clarkafella
If you had to replace the flavor bars a couple of times in 5 years, there's something wrong with your "care and feeding" regimen.
re: grampart
The flavorizor bars come two ways. Porcelain-enameled and stainless steel. I've replaced mine a couple of times over the last 13 yrs. They do tend to rust out and that can be dependent on where you live and where your grill is stored.
re: scubadoo97
I didn't know that they had a stainless version. Do they last longer?
re: Clarkafella
I'm working on a set now. Put them in a couple of years ago. Can't say they look good but they are not showing signs of rust.
re: scubadoo97
Sometimes regulators "stick" and become too restrictive. Try this first:
-turn off the gas at the tank valve
-open the lid of the grill and open the burner valves all the way
-now turn off the burner valves, and slowly crack open the tank valve.
-now give it a go -- light a fireplace match and turn the burners on.
This has worked the two or three times that the heat was anemic.
If this doesn't work, you may have a bad regulator (manufacturing error, perhaps, or might be a bit of dirt in the orifice)-- remove the regulator (usually at the end of the hose that attaches to the tank), take it to a hardware store and get a replacement. (Make sure to pick up the right sort of Teflon tape or thread sealer.) The piezo igniters are also pretty easy to fix. These are not expensive repairs --$20 for the regulator, $10 for the igniter.
Good luck! My guess is it will work better than new (it occurs to me that the very high temps may have been a symptom of a failing regulator.)
re: MikeB3542
Not sure who your reply was directed at. Never had a regulator problem. My last post was on flavorizor bars

We probably own or have known almost every brand. Gotta say that we really do like the Char Broil.
Considering that you are using for two people and have a small patio, I would steer away from the Webers -- they are good products but they are tanks. They are big and heavy, and way more capacity than you need. I haven't used a Weber Q, and not sure if those are on your radar -- they may very well be all the grill you need.
For grilling steaks, burgers, chicken, etc.a Char Broil will work. You will have to replace the guts every few years (burner, igniter, vaporizer, ceramic briquettes) but they are perfectly serviceable. ANY gas grill needs a periodic tear-down, if just to clean it.
For a great sear, get a cast iron grill grate, like this:
Give it a spray of PAM, then crank the heat on high until the thermometer pegs, and start grilling. Give the meat the obligatory quarter turn after a minute or so, give it another minute, then flip the meet onto a fresh part of the grate, then drop the cover and turn the gas down to low. Continue cooking until desired doneness (use a meat thermometer or the thumb-and-finger method.)
re: MikeB3542
The Weber Genesis is 60" wide. The Weber Spirit is 52" wide. Char Broil might be smaller, but there's no comparison in quality.
re: grampart
I agree that they are superior -- if you have the space, cool. It's not just that it's pushing 5 feet wide, it's also 24-30 inches deep (not including space to flip the top open).
Now Char Broil makes units that large -- they cost nearly as much as the Weber, and if you are looking at something that size, go with the Weber. What Weber doesn't really do is something that is compact -- there is the gap between the Weber Q's (which is more of a portable unit) and the Spirit models.
There is also the issue of cost. Even with the occasional tear-down and replacement of parts, no way have I spent over the last ten-twelve years the difference in cost between the Char Broil (the model I have was sold under the Sears Kenmore brand) and the Weber. Truth be told, that unit is on it's last legs -- but not because I can't get the grill functioning at its best but because the frame is just shabby after a decade of Wisconsin weather.
I make no claim that my Char Broil/Kenmore is some sort of uber-grill. If you stay within its limitations, it does a perfectly fine job with burgers, steaks, chops and sausages. With two burners, indirect cooking, smoking and barbecue are do-able with one of the burners shut down.
re: MikeB3542
We have a Char Broil three burner that pulls yeoman's duty and has for more than five years. Sometimes we grill five or six nights a week. We grill in blizzards (truly). We do direct and indirect. We do just about any kind and cut of meat. We do fruits and vegetables. I couldn't possibly ask more of it. So far we haven't even replaced any parts. Honestly never considered that so maybe we will one of these days.
re: josephnl
I think that is what my friend has, and as I mentioned before she has been happy with it. However, read the reviews between the 300 and 320. It sounds as though the difference in price is worth it for the additional features/improvements.
Agree about Weber. But can't jusify the price. Went with this Broil King. Best decision I made lately.
Check out the reviews (Google).
Weber Q. Then go here:
Join, then Message Phil Hartcher (he works for Weber Australia I think) who emails members his list of Weber Q recipes.
EDIT: Not sure what city you are in, but you can find good condition weber Qs for $100 even, on craigslist

N.A.B. -- Taxi Lines (Or Lack Thereof) as Barometer of Convention's Health
I am in Las Vegas this week at the annual National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention. First thing I noticed when getting off the plane in Vegas? No taxi lines. Second thing? No problems getting seated for dinners right on the spot. Both of these realities reflect the convention's health ... or lack thereof. Bottom line -- attendance is way down, following the lead of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier in the year.

Just two days after announcing the end of her marriage, Katie Price has had the locks changed on her family home.
This week the former glamour model called in technicians to change the locks and security codes, and also install CCTV at her Surrey pad.
She did the same thing after splitting from her ex-husband Peter Andre, a year and a half ago.
The mum-of-three revealed news of her divorce from Alex - who has now moved into his parents' Hampshire home - in a lengthy statement released on Wednesday.
In it she said she had asked him to leave the family home, but that he "will not do so".

Think this law needs to be changed...
If a pedestrian is on the road, a driver has to give way to that pedestrian. That is regardless of whether the pedestrian should have been there or not. If the ped is there, the motorist must give way.
If the motorist does not give way then that motorist becomes liable to both criminal and civil proceedings. However, if the pedestrian is on the road unlawfully (or stupidly, take your pick) then the issue of contributory negligence arises. Bad news for the ped, good news for the motorist's insurer.
Whatever you think of that law, it is highly unlikely to be changed. As things stand, you are balancing a life against a moment's inconvenience. That really is the calculation. A pedestrian hit by a motor vehicle is more likely than not to suffer serious injury, with a distinct possibility of being killed. That would be a hell of a penalty to pay for what amounts in the worst cases to a summary offence (and most of the time is simple inattention). A motorist who has to stop, or even just to slow down, briefly, is suffering at most a negligible inconvenience.

My favorite fun food blog
I found a really fun food blog a couple of months ago, and while it's not complicated food, I've tried almost every recipe and they are fantastic. The layout reminds me of Ina Garten, but funnier. Anyway, Ree, the blogger also has a non food blog. Both are really entertaining. Check them out and let me know what you think.
Food Blog:
Non Food Blog
I just bought the ingrediants for the cubesteak sandwich. It looks wonderful. I also sent a link to my Mom. This type of cooking instruction is just her speed
My friend sent me a link to this site regarding the eggs benedict recipe and her 2 sticks of butter (!). I found the writing absolutely hilarious and her step by step pictures very helpful.
Yes... I have spent the last 2 days scrolling through each and every recipe on her site! She is my new hero. She's funny, smart, a great photographer, and her recipes are so mouth watering, I may try out ALL of them! First up chicken spaghetti, followed by the oh-so-simple bread pudding, then maybe the lasagna... I haven't decided which order to do them in - ahh!
I just discovered the blog myself the other day. I was so impressed with her turkey recipe that I decided to use her method instead of Alton's.
re: notmartha
I think she just uses that because she lives waaaaay in the boonies and does not have access to real parm.
re: amethiste
Now with mail order gourmet food I think she has no excuse! ;)
re: notmartha
She mentions in her regular blog that she cannot get deliveries to her home so mail order may not be an option. I definitely would change some things in her recipes. I think her recipes are definitely not aimed at people like us who know food and have access to specialty ingredients. On the other had my Mom, who lives in a small town and has never been much of a cook, would really appreciate simple recipes that use very ordinary ingredients. Also I enjoy PW's humor.
Cheers! :-)
re: notmartha
She also mentions in the recipe, that she knows she will be scolded by everyone for using it, but it works for this purpose... she's lighthearted about all of it.
Here is part of a post she had about a month ago on the "Serious Eats" website...
"I stirred up a tiny bit of ire on my own cooking site when I dared to suggest, in a post about lasagna, that it was permissible to used processed Parmesan cheese in the recipe. I would like to state for the record that it was not my intention to personally offend anyone with this suggestion. But when you are a former city girl living in the middle of nowhere on a working cattle ranch, you learn to improvise with the ingredients you can get."
re: wino22
Thanks. I can't imagine living in a place where they won't even deliver stuff. Geez.
Website's pretty and she had a good writing style, but I don't know if I would go for those recipes. I don't want compromises when I cook, and fortunately I don't live in a ranch w/o mail deliveries.

Giro Women's Sonnet Road HelmetGiro read a little Shakespeare this year and was inspired to create the Sonnet road helmet, carefully shaped, fitted and designed especially for women. In-Mold construction with three external hardbodies and 25 Wind Tunnel vents is lighter, more durable and better ventilated than most helmets on the market. CoolMax pads absorb excess moisture to keep your head cool and composed. Weight-saving Roc Loc 5 retention system allows quick 'n easy adjustment of the fit tension and fore-aft tilt of the helmet for a perfect fit. Feminine graphics and details throughout keep you looking and feeling like a goddess.
- Giro Women's Series metal badge, woven label and custom graphics add a feminine touch to this women's helmet
- In-Mold construction with 3 external hardbodies reinforces the area around the vents and ribs, creating a one-piece exoskeleton, which allows the helmet to be lighter, more durable and better ventilated than traditional designs
- Compact shape with signature Giro industrial design for a women's-specific fit
- 25 Wind Tunnel vents with internal channels thrust cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing heat and stale air out
- CoolMax padding enhances moisture-wicking comfort
- Quite possibly the best-fitting retention system you've ever experienced, the Roc Loc 5 easily adjusts both fit tension and vertical position with a single hand, plus it's 40% lighter than its popular predecessor, Roc Loc 4

The Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) is currently working with partner water management agencies to plan for an environmental water release in the Murrumbidgee River during late winter to early spring 2014. The objective for this water flow is to reach many nationally significant mid-Murrumbidgee wetlands and other low-lying wetlands along the Yanco Creek system.
OEH is planning an environmental water release in the Murrumbidgee River in late Winter/Spring 2014 to achieve a number of environmental outcomes.
The intent is to release environmental water into the Murrumbidgee River from the two major water storages, Burrinjuck and Blowering Dams, to allow water to reach low-lying wetlands right along the river and along the Yanco Creek system.
Releases would be made when there are significant unregulated inflows from tributary streams, downstream of the major water storages. By 'piggybacking' onto these natural inflows, the storage release requirements can be reduced and this can make the limited environmental water allocation last longer and create a more effective watering event.
If necessary, additional minor piggyback releases may potentially be made from the Tombullen off-river Storage (near Darlington Point).
The environmental water releases are targeted to reach a river level of 4.9m (or 27,500 ML/d) at Wagga Wagga. The predicted river heights for the release are shown at Table 1. This is well below the minor flood level of 7.3m and 1m lower than previous environmental water release levels in 2011.
By setting the target of 4.9m, it is hoped that inconvenience to stakeholders is minimised. However, the possibility of exceeding or falling short of this target due to unforeseen circumstances, such as heavy local rainfall, needs to be recognised.
If heavy rainfall is predicted during or shortly after the planned release of environmental water, the event will be managed accordingly, postponed or immediately ceased, to achieve river levels of 4.9m at Wagga.

1 similar to max irrigation flow levels in full allocation years
2 lower than any previous piggyback flow event
The volume of environmental water released over the duration of the event could range from 40,000 megalitres (ML) up to a maximum of 220,000 ML, depending on allocation availability and the size of the base flow. Water will primarily come from NSW environmental water allowances and also from Commonwealth environmental water holdings.
During the drought years (2002-2010), hundreds of wetlands along the Murrumbidgee River that connect to the river during high river flows remained dry. The lack of return flows to these wetlands has resulted in severe impacts on their aquatic vegetation and ecology. The planned environmental water releases will be designed to inundate a large number of the lower lying wetlands and greatly assist in their recovery.
Well-functioning wetlands provide critical breeding and foraging habitat for native fish, waterbirds, and frogs. They support a wide range of native plant species, help in improving water quality, and feed the river with insects and crustaceans, juvenile fish, nutrients and carbon – supporting its productivity.
The decision to release water is dependent on sufficient rainfall to initiate tributary flows that will reach a minimum river level of approximately 3.0 m at Wagga. Environmental water releases would then piggyback on these flows to target a combined river level of up to 4.9 m at Wagga.
These environmental water releases are being planned for some time before the end of September 2014. The actual commencement date and duration for the event will be dependent on rainfall and irrigation use. High rainfall and low rates of irrigation water extraction are required to maximise the efficiency of the proposed piggyback flow. Irrigation water use increases through September and peaks in October and November significantly reducing the effectiveness on any piggyback flow.
Bureau of Meteorology rainfall forecasts and State Water operational limitations indicate that the likely timing for an event currently is:
1-15 September – Possible. Currently watching the forecast rainfall for the 9-10th which may provide sufficient rainfall to trigger the proposed e flow. Daily stakeholder communications occurring from Monday the 8th September.
16-30 September – Less likely. Increasing irrigation demand will reduce the effectiveness of the proposed piggyback flow (the flow will be more successful with low rates of extraction)
1-15 October – Unlikely. Generally a higher irrigation demand at this time of year means a very significant rainfall event is required.
16-31 October – Highly unlikely. Typically, peak irrigation occurs at this time. A very significant rainfall event is required to provide sufficient runoff to trigger the event, while also temporarily reducing irrigation demand.
The above event timing indications will be reviewed by OEH and provided to stakeholders weekly and when a potentially suitable rainfall event is forecast these updates will be provided to stakeholders daily.
Stakeholders will be notified once a commencement window has been confirmed and prior to releases of environmental water.
If environmental releases are not required, or if the piggyback flow is abandoned, stakeholders will be notified as soon as this decision is made.
If you have property that is normally affected by rising Murrumbidgee River levels, there is a possibility that you could be affected. However, as the proposed release is well below the minor flood level, impacts are expected to be minimal.
OEH has consulted with a number of landholders who could be affected with a view to identifying risks that may be associated with this environmental flow and to inform the development of strategies to deal with these risks should they arise.
OEH manages environmental water allocations in NSW and is the lead agency for the environmental flow event. State Water manages water orders and deliveries.
Partnering agencies include State Water, NSW Office of Water, Riverina Local Lands Services and the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office.
Landholders/managers - who may be impacted by rising river levels will be contacted and notified through either face-to-face meetings, phone or email.
Communication will continue for the duration of the event through the provision of regular event updates to website, local media and contact lists, or via direct calls to OEH.
OEH staff will manage the pre-event communications and State Water will take over during the release phase; together they will provide regular communication updates to:
Local councils – contact with the relevant councils will be made to ensure infrastructure such as roads or drainage systems are not unexpectedly inundated by released environmental water.
Project partners – to ensure project partners are aware of the details of the proposed event and that potential risks are identified and managed within a risk management strategy.
SES – will be notified by OEH prior to any releases as a courtesy and preventative measure. However, as the proposed flow (4.9m) is below the minor flood level (7.3 m) at Wagga, it is not anticipated that the SES will be involved in flow-related operations.
Public information – OEH media releases will be issued to local newspapers and radio stations to inform the wider Murrumbidgee community of the environmental water release and the objectives of the flow. Regular event updates will be posted on this web page.

When it comes to peanut cookies these are my all time favorites. The combination of unsalted chopped peanuts and cinnamon with the peanut butter short crust is heavenly. Yes, the preparation of the short crust cookies is sometimes tricky, but it is worthwhile. For me they are the best peanut cookies and if you have taste them once you will do them again again.

#ChartFact @BandAid30 is the fastest selling single of 2014 – a whopping 312,000 copies! http://t.co/2ZcBwXvmyz http://t.co/4RURZY33Yk
By Dan Lane
To mark Day 6, we skip back to February 19 when DJ Fresh and Rita Ora scored the UK's first ever drum 'n' bass Number 1 with Hot Right Now.
The follow up to DJ Fresh's (aka Daniel Stein) 2011 smash hit Louder FT Sian Evans (which also became the first dubstep single to reach Number 1), shifted over 128,000 copies in its first week on sale, and knocked Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know off Number 1. It became the then fastest selling single of 2012; a record it would hold on to for four months until Cheryl and Calvin Harris' Call My Name took the tile in June with first week sales of 141,000 copies.
To date Hot Right Now has sold over 474,000 copies and is the 20th biggest selling single of 2012 so far.

The St. Louis Rams and defensive end Chris Long agreed on a four-year contract extension through the 2016 season before the first practice of training camp.
The 27-year-old Long was seventh in the NFL with 13 sacks last year, topping his previous best of 8 1-2 sacks, and had a three-sack game against the Saints. He had been entering the final year of a six-year, $56.5 million contract he signed after the Rams drafted him No. 2 overall in 2008 out of Virginia.
The sixth year of the deal was voided after Long met certain incentives. Although the Rams have plenty of salary cap space, Long's cap number for 2012 was $18.3 million.
Long's sack total has increased every season. Last year he had a six-game sack streak and totaled 10 in a nine-game stretch despite nursing a high left ankle sprain that limited him in practice. He also led the Rams with 15 quarterback pressures and 16 quarterback hits.
Long's play was one of the highlights for a 2-14 team. His sack total tied the NFL season best by his Hall of Fame father, Howie Long, who played defensive tackle for the Raiders. Howie Long, an analyst with Fox Sports, had three straight years in double-digit sacks from 1983-85.

Denise Martinez, one of Arizona's first female directors of golf at such prestigious clubs as Forest Highlands in Flagstaff and Silverleaf in Scottsdale, was killed Sept. 18 in a motor-scooter crash in Truckee, Calif. Martinez was 46.
Martinez, who got her start as the head professional at Troon North Golf Club in Scottsdale, died of massive trauma to the head.
Her body was found by her boyfriend, Jim Andrus, the former general manager of The Golf Club Scottsdale, in a forest near their home.
The accident is under investigation, although no other vehicles were believed to be involved, according to police reports.
Martinez had relocated to Truckee earlier this year and was the director of golf at Martis Camp, a Tom Fazio-designed golf course project being developed by Scottsdale-based DMB Associates.
Known for her soft-spoken yet professional manner, Martinez won the girls state golf championship in 1979 as a junior at Tempe McClintock High School.
"We were the last team to beat Xavier before they went on their (16-year) winning streak,'' Martinez said.
"Yes, I won (individual honors) over Heather Farr by one stroke that year. The next year, my senior year, Heather beat me, and Xavier went on a roll.''
After a stellar career at the University of Arizona, where she earned a degree in business administration, Martinez took a shot at the LPGA and came up one stroke shy in qualifying school.
She never gave it another thought, as she moved into the golf industry and found her niche in the pro shop.
Even though she was a great teacher and player, Martinez was even more well-known for her big smile and people skills.
As Tom Weiskopf once said of his close friend and associate: "Denise has what it takes to run a high-profile membership. In other words, she keeps them happy.''
A viewing is set for Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Messinger Pinnacle Peak Mortuary, 8555 E. Pinnacle Peak Road in Scottsdale.
Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Saturday at Highlands Church, 9050 E. Pinnacle Peak Road, also in Scottsdale.

Post subject: US biological & chemical tests during Cold War
I think we'll be hearing more about this.
US tested biological weapons in Japan's Okinawa in the 60s – report
Published time: January 12, 2014 11:50
Reuters/Toru Hanai
The American army conducted experiments with biological weapons aimed at destroying rice crops on the Japanese island of Okinawa in the 60s, Kyodo news agency reports. The alleged target of the tests was the China and Southeast Asia region.
Citing classified US documents, Japanese news agency Kyodo said the US military carried out experiments on their sovereign territory between 1961 and 1962. At this time Japan's southern island of Okinawa was still under post-WWII, US jurisdiction. The US did similar tests in Taiwan and the American mainland, notes Kyodo.
The American army experimented with rice blast fungus – a plant pathogen – which infects rice crops with disastrous effects. The pathogen latches onto the rice plant as a spore and produces lesions and spots all over the rice plant and then reproduces.
A single lesion can generate a thousand spores in one night alone, while an entire cycle – lasting about a week – can have a devastating effect on rice crops.
Kyodo reports that tests were conducted over a dozen times, and mentions test sites, Nago and Shuri, in Okinawa. The US army reported some success in their experiments and the gathering of "useful data".
"Field tests for stem rust of wheat and rice blast disease were begun at several sites in the (US) Midwest and south and in Okinawa with partial success in the accumulation of useful data," wrote Kyodo, citing its documents.
The US government discarded all its biological weapons in 1969 and discontinued testing, after a leak of chemical weapons made 20 American soldiers stationed on the island sick. Moreover, residents had to be evacuated from the surrounding area and were reported to still be suffering the effects of the toxins two years after the leak.
In response to public outrage, the US government was forced to launch Operation Red Hat – a mission to remove all the biological weapons stored on Okinawa.
Six years later in 1975, Washington signed the international convention against production and possession of biological weapons.
Okinawa came back under Japanese jurisdiction in 1972, but the US still keeps a military presence of around 50,000 troops on the island.
Their presence is a constant source of tension with local populations due to crimes committed by servicemen, disruptions caused by military flights and land use by the US military.

Judge sides with US servicemen used as guinea pigs in terrifying Cold War experiment
Published time: February 07, 2014 21:00

A federal judge has ruled the United States Army must quickly inform veterans of any potentially harmful health effects stemming from the secret medical and drug experiments conducted on them during the Cold War.
According to a report by Courthouse News wire service, the ruling comes in favor of 7,800 soldiers claiming to have been involved in the experiments. After recruiting Nazi scientists to help through a program called "Project Paperclip," the Army and CIA administered between 250 and 400 kinds of drugs to the soldiers in an attempt to advance US ability to wage war.
Among the many drugs used were Sarin, amphetamines, LSD, mustard gas, THC, incapacitating agents, and phosgene, a chemical weapon used in trenches during World War I. By administering these drugs and others, the military hoped to uncover new ways to control human behavior, pinpoint weaknesses, hypnotize, and increase an individual's resistance to torture.
These experiments began in the 1950s and continued until President Richard Nixon halted research into offensive chemical weapons in 1969. Although soldiers signed consent forms agreeing to undertake the experiments, the soldiers argued in court they essentially had no other choice under training that directed them to follow orders. Veterans also argued these forms violated international law and the Wilson Directive, which mandates voluntary consent as "essential."
After U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken ruled the Army must notify veterans of possible health concerns related to the experiments in November, the Army requested a delay in the process, claiming the notification process would cost nearly $9 million. This request was denied after Wilken ruled the cost borne by the Army paled in comparison to the health of veterans.
"On the one hand, there are the expenses that will be incurred by defendants and, on the other, there is the very real possibility that the aging and adversely affected test subjects will not learn about health effects that could be mitigated if known," Wilken wrote, according to Courthouse News.
"Any expense incurred by defendants doing research and providing information to adversely affected test subjects, even if defendants should not have been required to incur those expenses, would not be wasted.
"However, lost time for the adversely affected test subjects could lead to irreversible health consequences."
The lingering effects of the experiments have become grounds for contention between former soldiers and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Many veterans believe the long-term health issues they've developed can be traced directly back to the drugs they took decades ago at the behest of the government. The VA, however, has declined to cover the medical costs for the vast majority of those applying for coverage.
Speaking to CNN back in 2012, former Army Private Tim Josephs said that unless he agreed to the terms outlined in the experimental consent form, he would be thrown in jail.
"Sometimes it was an injection. Other times it was a pill," Josephs said, though he didn't know what exactly he was taking. "A lot of chemicals were referred to as agent one or agent two."
Nonetheless, once the military began administering the drugs, Josephs was told, "There is nothing here that could ever harm you." Nowadays, he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and was forced to retire early. The VA granted him 40 percent disability, but others haven't been so lucky: roughly 84 of 86 health claims related to chemical or biological contact are turned down.
"The whole thing stinks, and if the American people knew about it, they would not tolerate it," said attorney Gordon Erspamer to CNN. "This kind of behavior toward our veterans would not be allowed to happen."

Elite US troops trained to use backpack nukes
Published time: February 11, 2014 18:47
)ARCHIVE PHOTO: The light from an atomic bomb test explosion (Operation Redwing, Shot Erie) is reflected in the waters of Enewetak Atoll May 30 1956 (Reuters)
Skiing down a mountain and into a battlefield with a nuclear bomb strapped to your back seems like something you'd see only in a James Bond movie, but that's just one of the things the US elite military personnel were trained to do during the Cold War.
In a detailed report by Foreign Policy, the publication chronicles the creation of the Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SAMD), a portable nuclear weapon that could be carried into battlefield by a single solider. During the Cold War's final 25 years, Navy SEALs and Army Special Forces were trained to carry these "backpack nukes" beyond enemy lines where, if necessary, they'd be used to destroy valuable infrastructure and keep opposing forces at bay.
Concerned with the Soviet Union's military advantage over the United States and its allies in terms of manpower and traditional weaponry, President Dwight Eisenhower looked to enhancing the country's nuclear capabilities as a way to level the playing field. His "New Look" strategy, however, promised "massive retaliation" to any form of aggression by the Soviet Union – a bold strategy that in reality left the US with little room to maneuver.
"In the event that communist forces launched a limited, non-nuclear attack, the president would have to choose between defeat at the hands of a superior conventional force or a staggeringly disproportionate (and potentially suicidal) strategic nuclear exchange that would kill hundreds of millions of people," the report stated.
In an attempt to develop targeted nuclear weapons that wouldn't cause as many casualties, the SAMD was born. Often strapped to a soldier's back, the 58-pound bomb made it difficult for soldiers to maneuver through a war zone, and those chosen to carry the device – known as the "Green Light" teams – underwent extensive training to ensure they could deliver the bomb, even at the expense of their own lives.
"I think that my first reaction was that I didn't believe it," former Green Light member Ken Richter told Foreign Policy. "Because everything that I'd seen prior to that, World War II, showed this huge weapon. And we were going to put it on our backs and carry it? I thought they were joking."
More powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, though, the SAMD was no laughing matter. US forces would be subjected to eight to 12 hours of training a day when it came to using the device, and in some cases troops would parachute out of planes with the SAMD dangling below them in a protective case, dive underwater with it in a pressurized case, or, yes, ski down a mountain with bomb attached to them.
"I had a lot of people that I interviewed for our team," Richter recalled. "Once they found out what the mission was, they said, 'No, thanks. I'd rather go back to Vietnam.' "
Fortunately, these weapons were never actually used. US allies were not particularly fond of the idea of detonating numerous nuclear devices across their countries, while others within the American military questioned the whole enterprise.
"In our hearts, we knew nobody was going to give control of these to a bunch of big old boys running around the countryside," Tom Davis, another Green Light member, told Foreign Policy. "We just didn't believe it was ever going to happen."
The SADM program was officially halted in 1989, after the Defense and Energy departments found it to be "obsolete."
This, however, wasn't the only controversial idea the United States tested during the Cold War. A lawsuit is currently unfolding in federal court concerning a military program that subjected servicemen to various secret drug and chemical experiments. The US hoped to discover new ways to control human behavior, pinpoint weaknesses, hypnotize, and increase an individual's resistance to torture.
As a result, many former soldiers have come forward claiming that their long-term health problems are a direct product of the experiments conducted on them. The Department of Veterans Affairs has generally declined to cover the health costs of these individuals, though just recently a federal judge ruled the US must notify all veterans of any potential health problems stemming from the experiments.

I also used an extra 1/4 tsp of cardamom.
I ended up with too much liquid, so i used this to make the frosting by mixing what was left in the bowl with powdered sugar.
This i drizzled on the bars as soon as they came out of the oven.

Several children who are spending Christmas in the hospital in Charlottesville got a visit from Santa on Thursday, and he had a big box full of gifts for them.
The gift drive was inspired by Kelley Kassay, whose son, Mason, died last year. Mason battled stage four cancer for several years.
This year Kassay collected toys for sick children in honor of her son, and on Thursday, Santa gave them to the kids at the University of Virginia Medical Center.
"I know that my son's legacy lives on," said Kassay. "It's amazing because he's touched so many lives and that makes me so proud of him."
"This is a really big deal for the kids in the hospital," said Karen Teague, who works at UVa Medical. "Nobody plans to spend Christmas in the hospital."
The toy drive also provided gifts for kids at a hospital in Richmond.

Construction doesn't always mean growth. The new center could actually bring McGaheysville back to what it used to look like.
"Back years ago I remember McGaheysville having wooden sidewalks," John Hopkins says.
And you might remember Stumps Place and many other stores.
"There were all kinds of shops you didn't have to go to Harrisonburg there were doctor's offices there were dentist's offices in McGaheysville," Hopkins says.
Now, McGaheysville only has a handful of shops, and Hopkins wants to change that.
Construction is underway for "Old Town." It'll have convenience shops, like a bank, a food store, and a place to get your haircut. Sort of bringing you back in time.
"It's a feeling that you are a person in this little village you belong somewhere if you go to Harrisonburg right now nobody knows who you are," Hopkins says.
It may not look like much now but it could be just what McGaheysville needs-it has worked for other Valley communities. Like here, at Broadway Station.
"It brings not just people from Broadway, but other people. While they're in Broadway they see wow look what else is here and they tell their friends and before you know it-Broadway is a happening place," Kyle O'Brien says.
And both shopping centers are keeping money in the county.
"Instead of running off to Harrisonburg and spending money the county people, Lord only knows, every cent if you can spend in the county-helps everybody," Hopkins says.
Construction could be finished within a year. But, Hopkins is still looking for stores to fill the center.
