Where is the justice? My husband's 25-year-old daughter, Jessica Lee French Stephenson, was killed on Dec. 21, 2013, by Richard Douglas Reinert. She was calling 911 to protect his wife from the drunken idiot who was threatening to harm her and shoot himself. Too bad he didn't.
He turned the gun on Jessi and shot her multiple times. The whole thing is on 911 recording. Guess that's not good enough. On Friday, June 6, he bonded out of jail on a mere $450,000. How is this justice? He has restrictions to stay in Montana, have a job, be in a nice, warm, cozy home by 10 p.m. every night and wear a monitoring device. Big deal!
What's a bail-jumping felony charge when he's already facing life in prison? Obviously his family in Tallahassee, Fla., has money to throw away, so no problem bonding out a killer.
Our hearts are broken, our lives are shattered. He and his family remain a family.

AQPHillslope Position by Soil SeriesSubmitted by dylan on Wed, 2013-06-05 18:34.
Soil survey data are typically built upon a foundation of soil-landscape relationships that have been verified in the field. ( categories: )
New AQP TutorialsSubmitted by dylan on Fri, 2013-01-04 22:17.
Several new AQP-related tutorials have been posted to the R-Forge project page.
( categories: )
Basic Simulation of Soil Profile Data in R via AQPSubmitted by dylan on Wed, 2012-12-19 18:59.
Something fun to play with before the new year: experimental code in aqp for simulating soil profile data from a single "template" profile. The basic idea: simulate horizon thickness data using a family of Gaussian functions with mean defined by horizon thickness values found in the template and standard deviation defined by the user. Larger Basic usage is demonstrated below, see package manual page for details. This function is only available in the version of ( categories: )
Automated OSD Lookup and Display via SoilWeb and AQPSubmitted by dylan on Thu, 2012-11-08 00:06.
I have been thinking about a URL-based interface to basic Official Soil Series Description (OSD) data for a while now... something that when fed a URL, would return CSV-formatted records to the calling process. These type of interfaces can later be used to support more complicated systems, such as our smartphone interface to SoilWeb. URLs can be accessed like files in R, making it possible to do something like this: ( categories: )
AQP Demo: Applying a Function to Each Soil Profile in a Collection with profileApply()Submitted by dylan on Tue, 2012-06-19 23:35.
Here is a quick demonstration of how functionality from the AQP package can be used to answer complex soils-related questions. In these examples the profileApply() function is used to iterate over a collection of soil profiles, and compute several metrics of soil development:
( categories: )
soilDB Demo: Processing SSURGO Attribute Data with SDA_query()Submitted by dylan on Thu, 2012-04-26 23:18.
A quick example of how to use the USDA-NRCS soil data access query facility (SDA), via the soilDB package for R. The following code describes how to get component-level soils data for Yolo County (survey area CA113) from SDA and compute representative sub-order level classification for each map unit. This example requires an understanding of SQL, US Soil Taxonomy and the SSURGO database. ( categories: )
Dissimilarity Between Soil Profiles: A Closer LookSubmitted by dylan on Fri, 2012-03-23 19:35.
Continuing the previous discussion of pair-wise dissimilarity between soil profiles, the following demonstration (code, comments, and figures) further elaborates on the method. A more in-depth discussion of this example will be included as a vignette within the 1.0 release of AQP. ( categories: )
Profile Dissimilarity Demo: MVO Soils, Slice-Wise DissimilaritySubmitted by dylan on Fri, 2012-03-23 19:25.
( categories: )
AQP / soilDB Demo: Dueling DendrogramsSubmitted by dylan on Wed, 2012-03-14 21:55.
Previously, soil profile comparison methods from the aqp package only took into account horizon-level attributes. As of last week the profile_compare() function can now accommodate horizon and site-level attributes. In other words, it is now possible to compute pair-wise dissimilarity between soil profiles using a combination of horizon-level properties (soil texture, pH, color, etc.) and site-level properties (surface slope, vegetation, soil taxonomy, etc.)-- continuous, categorical, or boolean. An example is presented below which is based on the loafercreek sample data set included with the soilDB package. Be sure to use the latest version of soilDB, 0.5-5 or later. Dissimilarity matrices created from horizon and site+horizon data are compared by placing their respective dendrograms back-to-back. Code from the ape package is used to facilitate dendrogram plotting, manipulation, and indexing. Blue line segments connect matching nodes from each dendrogram. Soil profiles with paralithic contact are marked with orange squares for clarity. ( categories: )

tomatoes for thanksgiving? Amazing blooms yet on the cherries. Verry nice! |
- Posted by granolaeeter (My Page) on Fri, Nov 13, 09 at 19:03
I like your half barrels planted with lettuce. Your caption said 'experimental'. Are you happy with the results so far? I am assuming there are holes in the bottom for drainage? Are you hand watering the containers? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Spiritofplace South Carolina
I actually used this as a water tank for a steer that we fattened up a few years ago. I love the results. The lettuce tastes wonderful. It is more like a baby lettuce. I suppose I could let them grow more, then harvest too. The spinach didn't do as well, I think I planted it too think. I know I planted the lettuce too thick too. I quickly spread it by hand, in the dark. I wish I had more seed on hand to experiment with. I am going to bring one of them into the house and see if we can grow lettuce in a sunny window and some lights. There are two small holes in the bottom and I water by hand. I am planning on building more, for free, I hope. The wood that it requires is really small. I am going to ask some of my builder friends if they will collect some for me or if I can "dumpster dive". If that doesn't work, I will craigslist or freecycle to find some. I will probably put them on some sort of sprinkler/drip system. I am thinking about building 10 of them. Then I can harvest two to three a week and in 3 weeks, I will be back to the first one to harvest again. I like the fact there is no weeds. I am growing it in a soil less mix. It is Al's mix from the Growing in Containers forum. I used that stuff for hanging baskets of tomatoes and it worked great. |

Thanks for the info slick! I'll have to check out the soiless mix. |

hey slick Id like to pick your mind please How far into the winter can you grow. How many weeks out of the year. If one had an inexpensive way to heat say a wood fired boiler with a forced air radiator could you grow year round. thanks Josh |
Josh, Pick away. Here is my advice on growing year around. I think you can do it without a problem Now, you won't be growing tomatoes and peppers. You will need to grow cold tolerant crops. Spinach, Broccoli, Carrots, Kale, Chard, Arugula, Root crops and etc. What I have learned is that you need to plant them early in the fall (August, September, October) to get enough growth before the light levels start getting too low. I now of a larger wholesale grower who grow spinach through the winter in North Central Kansas. No heat! He uses his high tunnels and adds row cover. I would check out Eliot Coleman and the winter harvest guide. He grows year around in Maine. Another resource for your location is http://aunaturelfarm.homestead.com/ They are from around Bowling Green. Is that near you? Check out their website. I think it could help. If you want to heat with wood, I would do it in the spring. If you heated with wood, inside a high tunnel and used row cover, you probably could have tomatoes by the first part of June. Last year in an unheated hightunnel, I planted tomatoes On March 28th. I did have a cold snap and lost a few, but I had replacements. I started picking tomatoes on the June 25th-ish. Probably could have had them earlier if I would have prunned more. At that time I was charging $3.00 a pound for tomatoes. That was some good money. I would do this and then come back in the early fall an rip out the tomatoes and plant spinach or some other cold tolerant crop. Growing year around is a real possibility for you. For me, I am hoping that I can grow and harvest 10-11 months out of the year. Every year is different. Currently we have 13 inches of snow, 30-40 mph winds and the wind chill is in the negatives. Spinach still looked good earlier today! Ask away! |

Josh, we have a grower up here that grows year round. cooleyfarms.com. He offers a CSA thru out the year. He started out at my farmers market and then changed his mind about the market thing. He was going to at least 3-4 market days, and that doesn't leave much time for family/farm. He 'retired' from an auto plant when they offered early retirements. He had a 5 year plan to survive on his market money. It's over the 5 year mark, but I think his wife is still working off the farm, but I'm not sure. Jay, I think 10-11 months would be enough for me. A vacation is nice, even just down time to clean and such. |

Bowling Green is just 20 min North of me, The feller who grows spinach in winter, does he run lights, how much light do greens require, never realy thought about it growing through the normal season? $3 for tomatoes thats awesome, I will definetly fire up the boiler and grow some early tomatoes. Now with root crops does that include potatoes, and how much light would they require? josh |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm (My Page) on Thu, Dec 10, 09 at 8:15
Josh, if you ever get to Crawfordsville, there is a greenhouse for flowers/plants on 231 north of downtown that has a wood-fired outside furnace setting outside of one of their greenhouses. I keep meaning to stop in and ask questions, but haven't yet. I got $3/tomatoes for greenhouse grown Tomatoes this last spring. They were grown by the Amish in Rockville. I know they start their plants in Jan. |
The guy who grows spinach, no he doesn't run lights. You have to adjust your thinking a little. Things aren't going to grow tons in the winter. The angle of the sun isn't favorable. The winter growing is more like a living cold storage. When you get the warm spells in winter, they do grow some, but growth is slowed way down. As far a wood heat and tomatoes. I know of another grower north of me who does that. The plant out in the end of January/Feb and will have tomatoes in May-July. He fetches a pretty high price. I am not sure if he runs lights. I have never seen his operation. I do know that he uses wood heat and he sleeps in the greenhouse, in a recliner, until the weather warms up and the nights aren't freezing. He said this way he knows if something goes wrong and can fix it. He said if the fire stops, he loses everything. I have never heard of anyone growing potatoes into the winter. I suppose it works, but they store very well so I suppose it wouldn't be worth it. I do know people grow carrots, beets and turnips in to the winter. Jay |
- Posted by prmsdlndfrm South IN Z6 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Dec 10, 09 at 10:35
Sounds like your plan of growing 10 months might be a good plan. Starting tomatoes in January, wow. Bet Febuary might be easier, the light is getting better. Probably wouldnt hurt to just grow Febuary-October. Would give me November and December for maintenance. Ill look up that Bowling Green site, and Ill head into Crawfordsville. josh |

I use just regular 4' lights on a stand that has 6 shelves. I got the stand at Sams for about $100, and the lights at Walmart (this last time, normally Menards). I used to use a cool bulb and a warm bulb, but have found out that just the cheap ones work just as good. I replace the bulb as soon the ends start to turn black. There is not as much light from them when that starts to happen. Jay, I read somewhere about a couple that had to decide whether to build their greenhouse or their house. They built the greenhouse and lived in it for the first year, and then built the house. |
That is some serious dedication! I too use four foot lights. I built a stand out of 2 by 4 studs. I use a stud for each corner and then make shelves out our two studs. This way I hang the lights from the shelf above and the plants sit on the shelf below. I have four shelves that are 8 foot long. I can really cram alot of plants in that area. When the lights are one, my kids says that room glows! Jay |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm (My Page) on Sat, Dec 12, 09 at 22:22
It is amazing how much light those florescent lights put out. I'm going to have to get ready for the seed planting before long. Right now, my shelves have other things on them and I'm going to have to find places for the other stuff. Then get outside and gather all my trays and check them out to see if they are still good. I use no hole trays for underneath the starting trays that I use. I have also used the plastic berry baskets for starting trays, I had some old ones that weren't good enough to use for berries, so I put some 'dirt' in them and used them. That finished them off. I may try some deep meat trays this year. I'm always looking for the 'perfect' tray. |

Great thread, Jay I have learned a lot from you the past few years. Thanks. |
Thanks Andrea. It is nice to know that what I share is being helpful. I just share from my experiences and the knowledge I have gained from others. I have used small Styrofoam cups to plant some things in. I punch a hole in the bottom. I started to use these when I ran out of other pots. They worked well. |
- Posted by andreaz6wv 6b (My Page) on Thu, Jan 7, 10 at 22:01
As a little experiment last year I put radish seeds in styrofoam cups under lights and actually harvested radishes several times. Now I can do that, but can't grow a radish in the garden for nothing! Andrea |
- Posted by andreaz6wv 6b (My Page) on Thu, Jan 7, 10 at 22:08
Another thing, I might try doing something like your giant lettuce "bowl" and put it by the back door. I have a wheelbarrow that I use as a petunia planter I was going to do something else with, maybe this is it? Andrea |

This Week's Criterion Releases: 'Safety Last!' and 'Marketa Lazarová' Define Discovery
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on June 22, 2013 | Be the First To CommentAt the risk of generalization, The Criterion Collection is probably best known for packaging two types of films: celebrated canonical works that deserve pristine treatment; and comparably worthwhile but overlooked or unavailable films in need of a resurrection. Two of this week's DVD/Blu-ray releases from Criterion – Harold Lloyd's iconic silent comedy Safety Last and Czech auteur František Vláčil's largely unheard-of-in-the-US Marketa Lazarová – exemplify the very best of both these tendencies, giving cinephiles an opportunity to "discover" in various ways both an undisputed classic and a challenging, largely unknown masterpiece of form and tone.

Gwynne Dyer: Ukraine is not worth fighting for
With due apologies to God, Voltaire, and the Ukrainians, I must point out that if Ukraine did not exist, it would not be necessary to invent it. It is not a great power, it has no resources the world cannot do without, and it is not a "vital strategic interest" to anybody except the Ukrainians themselves. Not even to the Russians, although they are acting at the moment as though it were.
Bosnia was nobody's vital strategic interest either. It isn't now, and it wasn't 100 years ago. But Bismarck warned in 1898 that if there was ever another major war in Europe, it would come out of "some damned silly thing in the Balkans," and an assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 fulfilled his prophecy to the letter.
Some things have changed since then, however. The next world war will not come out of Ukraine (which is only slightly north-east of the Balkans) no matter what happens in the next few weeks and months. Russia might invade Ukraine, there might even be a new Cold War for a while, but there will be no fighting in Europe beyond Ukraine's borders.
Indeed, apart from the Balkans there has been no full-scale war in Europe for the past 69 years, and there was never the slightest risk that the fighting in the 1990s would spread beyond the borders of former Yugoslavia. Indeed, there was probably never a single day during the 45 years of the Cold War when either side seriously considered attacking the other.
The reason was simple: they knew what would happen next, even if neither side used the thousands of nuclear weapons at its disposal. Twice in 30 years, in 1914-18 and 1939-45, a major war using modern weapons had been fought over almost all of Europe's territory.
On the first occasion, they lost a generation of young men. The second time, most countries from Germany eastwards lost around 10 percent of their populations killed—and most of the casualties that time were civilians. Half of the continent's great historic cities were reduced to ruins even without the help of nuclear weapons. It was a very expensive education, but the Europeans did finally learn their lesson: don't do this any more.
That is why, even as Russian tanks drive right up to Ukraine's eastern borders and the Ukrainian army prepares to die in a fight it knows it would lose, nobody else in Europe is getting ready for war. If the Russians want part or all of Ukraine, they can have it—and pay the long-term price for taking it, which would be very high. But nothing in Europe is worth blowing all of Europe up for.
Do not be alarmed by the fact that troops and planes from as far away as the United States and Canada are currently being sent to NATO countries that have borders with Russia. The numbers are militarily insignificant. Their purpose is simply to remind the Russians that the alliance will protect its own members should Moscow ever decide that it has also a right to "protect" Russian-speakers in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
Moscow does not actually need to be reminded of that. It has seized Crimea, and is toying with the idea of seizing more of Ukraine, precisely because that country does not fall under the NATO umbrella. And it does not belong to NATO because NATO didn't want to take military responsibility for its defence.
That was an entirely rational decision, because the Russians clearly thought Ukraine fell within their sphere of influence. This is the first time it has been independent from Russia for any appreciable period of time in the past three and a half centuries.
Moreover, the post-Soviet governments in Kiev had been horrendously corrupt and incompetent, the country as a result is even poorer than it was in Soviet times—and the population in the eastern part of Ukraine is terrified of getting tangled up with the West because it inhabits an industrial museum whose products are only saleable in Russia. What eastern Ukrainians really fear for is their jobs, not their right to speak Russian.
All this was clear 20 years ago, and that's when NATO decided that Ukraine's independence would have to depend on Russia's good-will, not on NATO's tanks. And for 20 years Russia more or less respected Ukraine's independence, while seeking, naturally enough, to ensure that its governments were friendly.
The collapse of the status quo is partly the European Union's fault, for demanding that Ukraine choose between closer trade and travel ties with the EU and full membership in Russia's "Eurasian Union". It is even more the fault of Moscow: President Vladimir Putin has been both emotional and opportunistic. He's scaring people, which is never a good idea.
But if he does take more or even all of Ukraine, the West will not fight him. It will just take in all the Ukrainian refugees, strengthen its eastern defences, and begin the slow process of bringing down Putin by crippling the Russian economy. That would take years, but nobody would forget about Ukraine. It is a UN member, and even China has stopped supporting the Russian position. Remember East Timor?
To allow counties to get away with invasions again risks going back to the pre World War II state where most counties went to war every couple of decades. We should stop Russia not just for Ukraine, but for all the other counties that may be threatened if the taboo is broken.
The Generals (LeMay and Co) did actually advocate preemptive nuclear war a few times while it was still "winnable" - Korea,Vietnam and China come to mind:
The American Party was very keen:
They were no longer keen by 68:
I really don't see the settlers just packing up and handing land back once the Israeli government is "ready" for negotiations (which would involve not electing a Zionist government, and really, when will that ever happen).
You don't have to be a foreign affairs expert to note, as damn near every FM from almost every nation who has ever tried this file has, that Israel is trying to change facts on the ground so that negotiating land for peace becomes effectively impossible.
"We should stop Russia not just for Ukraine, but for all the other counties that may be threatened if the taboo is broken."
Well, then I guess would should roll the tanks into Israel as well(or should we just wait until the Russian's elect a government that is "ready to negotiate")
Leave Israel alone, but invade Russia, for doing the same thing as Israel.
Alternatively, invade Russia, but let the Israeli's reckoning for doing what you would invade Russia for doing wait until they elect a government that will let you reckon with them (on terms they will find agreeable).
But who cares how many times Dyer has been wrong, he flatters the so-called progressive neoliberal and just told them 'Don't worry' -- again.
A Better commentary would be discussing the American Empire and how the Ukraine presents a 'two birds with one stone'...politically unstable EU (IMF edicts, NSA espionage, US extrajudiciality, currency leverage, questioning NATO, etc) and Russia (huge and cost effective energy provider, growing Asian and European markets, currency leverage, etc)
The US needs to wedge EU and Russia in order to protect their Empire in the long term and that is why a strong possibility for war might happen...US long term survival...which is the reason for all the wars the US has conducted in the last fifty years.
Shame on you.
Our champion in the field in this instance is Vladimir Putin and the Russian people and all those who stand behind them.
Your points are interesting though I think there is quite a bit of difference between what Israel and Russia are doing. Russia is not engaging in the murder, intimidation, starvation, violence, chemical and radiation poisoning against Ukrainans like Israel is against the Palestinians.
Interesting to note Stalin offered up Maiden Ukraine to Hitler in exchange for not attacking Mother Russia. A play for time much like Chamberlains appeasement but it still spells out the relationship at least from the early 20th century perspective. Ukraine is Russia's bitch. And I got no skin in this game.
Sure is some hot Ukrainian chicks though!
who cares about Gwynne Dyer?
Without Ukraine, Russia is not a major power in the future. It is isolated and far from Europe. It surrounded by hostile countries.
In Bosnia, there is no oil and there is no gas, no gold either. Bosnia, at that time, was something like Canada today, much better actually - 3 religions and 3 nations living together in piece. All that within borders of Yugoslavia(6 nations and 3 religions), which existence was convinced to death, because that country was communist, and that was automatic move by great forces, considering the break-up of Berlin's wall and breaking-up of SSSSR. There is always an interest... USA would like to see its troops in Kiev, few hundreds miles fare away from Russia - we are not fools not to see that.
We should be boycotting both countries until they start following international norms.
Eric Margolis describes how Presidents turn grey and paraphrases Bismarck, "Ukraine is not worth the life of a single Prussian grenadier."
"NATO didn't want to take military responsibility for its defence...The Ukraine has no resources, and it is not a "vital strategic interest"
Dyer makes the Ukraine sounds like Barrett Brown, who didn't even have a turkey log to offer a pot luck. Brown a journalist and satirist,is locked up in a Russian jail, might have been describing NATO in Letters from Jail - The White People Meeting:
"The neo-cons had made no inroads among the white unit; we would be spared the tumult of an interventionist foreign policy, with its entangling alliances"
No World Wars = No Medicare.

[ offtopicness ] Until GTA, the only games I could tolerate were Nintendo-made stuff like Super Smash Bros. and even classic Mario side-scrollers. I always wanted a game that would let me roam around and do whatever the helck i want. And then they finally made GTA. But I have learned to appreciate many other games a little bit too. But free-roaming is important to me. [ /offtopicness ]

Fighting or beat 'em up games emphasize one-on-one combat between two players, one of whom may be computer controlled. These games usually focus on martial arts, which are usually dramatic and physically impossible, and other forms of unarmed combat. Some of these games may also employ handheld weapons such as swords, or ranged attacks such as chi-based energy blasts.
This genre arose in the mid-1980s and became a phenomenon with the release of Street Fighter II; the genre is still popular today.
Notable series of games include King of Fighters, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Soul Edge and Soul Calibur, Tekken, and Virtua Fighter.
First-person shooter
First-person shooters (FPS) emphasize shooting and combat from a specific perspective. Most FPSs place the player behind a gun or other weapon with the player's "hand" holding the weapon. This perspective is meant to give the player the feeling of "being there." Most FPSs are very fast-paced and require quick reflexes.
To be an effective game, an FPS must be both fast and three-dimensional, which put them out of the reach of most consumer hardware until the early 1990s. Doom was the "breakout" game of the genre; it used a number of clever techniques to make the game fast enough to run on average machines.
Some of today's most popular FPS series are Half-Life, Doom, Unreal, Quake, and Halo.
MMOGs, MMORPGs and MMOFPSs
Massively-multiplayer online games, massively-multiplayer online role-playing games and Massively multiplayer online first-person shooters are virtual worlds in which potentially thousands of players may interact together over the Internet. Most of these games are subscription-based, but with the new age of MMO games they can be one time buy games with no monthly fees. MMORPGs emerged in the mid to late 1990s as a commercial, graphical variant of text-based MUDs, which had existed since around 1979. The massively multiplayer concept was quickly combined with other genres.
Fantasy MMORPGs are the most popular type of MMOG. Ultima Online, EverQuest, Final Fantasy XI, Lineage, World of Warcraft and Runescape are some of the more popular MMORPGs. This Style of MMO is slowly giving way to newer MMO styles.
Sci-fi MMORPGs hold a smaller part of the MMO Market. One of the first examples of this type of MMOG isAnarchy Online. Many other Sci-fi MMORPGs have launched with the popular space sci-fi game EVE Online being the most notable.
MMOFPS is a category of computer games that combines first-person shooter gameplay with a large number of simultaneous players over the Internet. It is a category of massively multiplayer online games. PlanetSide, Control Monger and Gunz are a few notable games of this genre.
Racing games are one of the most traditional of genres. They typically place the player in the driver's seat of a high performance vehicle and require the player to race against other drivers or sometimes just time. Emerging in the early 1980s, this genre is still very popular today and continues to push the envelope in terms of graphics and performance.
A popular subgenre of the racing game is the kart racing game, which simplifies the vehicle handling and introduces various obstacles and other quirks to the racetrack.
Notable racing games include OutRun, Gran Turismo, and Mario Kart.
Computer role-playing games (CRPGs or simply RPGs) often place the player in a fantasy or science fiction setting and drive the gameplay via a prominent storyline. Most of these games have the player acting in the role of a specific type of "adventurer" who specializes in a certain set of skills (such as combat, or casting magic spells). These various types of adventurer are called "classes" and players can normally control one or more of these characters.
Most of these games are similar to traditional role-playing games played with pencil and paper (notably D&D) except, in this case, the computer takes care of all the record keeping and nondeterministic elements such as die rolling. Since the emergence of affordable home computers coincided with the popularity of pencil and paper role-playing games, this genre was one of the first in video games and continues to be popular today.
Neverwinter Nights a popular computer role-playing game.
Though nearly all of the early entries in the genre were turn-based games, modern CRPGs have introduced a real-time aspect. Thus, the CRPG genre has followed the strategy game's trend of moving from turn-based to real-time combat.
Notable entries in the role-playing genre include Final Fantasy, Ultima, Diablo, Baldur's Gate, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
Simulation games aim to simulate the experience of controlling a vehicle (such as flying an airplane) as realistically as practically possible, taking into account physics and other real-world limitations. Some require a great deal of reading before the game can even be attempted, while others include a simple tutorial. Microsoft Flight Simulator is perhaps the most well known flight simulator. Falcon 4.0 is a prime example of a combat flight simulator.
Combat flight simulators are a subgenre of simulation. Falcon 4.0 and IL-2 Sturmovik are examples of the genre.
Space Combat Sims are a subgenre that usually leans into strategy or action. Examples include Freespace, Independence War and Wing Commander.
Sports games emulate the playing of traditional physical sports such as cricket, baseball, soccer, American football, boxing, golf, basketball, ice hockey, tennis, bowling, rugby, etc. Some emphasize actually playing the sport, while others emphasize the strategy behind the sport (such as Championship Manager). Others satirize the sport for comic effect (such as Arch Rivals). One of the best selling series in this genre is the Madden NFL series.
This genre emerged early in the history of video games and remains popular today.
Strategy games focus on careful planning and skillful resource management in order to achieve victory, and are therefore classified as "thinking games". These games may be turn-based or realtime, but there are some that mix the two types of play (such as X-Com). This genre has had a consistent following since the mid-1980s.
A popular subgenre of strategy is god games, examples of which include the very popular The Sims (which generally simulates home-life and social interactions), SimCity, SimAnt, and SimEarth. Unlike other genres of games, god games do not have a set goal that allows a player to win the game.
Strategy games can also be divided into turn-based and real-time games. Turn-based games were originally the more common form of strategy game, the computers of the time being too slow for real-time interaction; they go back to Star Trek games played on teletypes. Early home computers were soon adopted for wargames, and the genre expanded from there.
The vast majority of strategy games could be called "war strategy games" as they have heavy focus on military combat. For real-time games the focus is generally on military battle tactics(e.g. reconnaissance, flanking, etc.), while turn-based games are more focused on strategy (i.e. looking at war from the perspective of a General or even the leader of the nation).
Examples of games in the real-time genre include Warcraft, StarCraft, Command and Conquer, and Total Annihilation. Additional noteworthy examples are Ground Control, Sudden Strike and Mech Commander, which focus on a set amounts of units, and do away with the resource gathering and unit production aspects of most RTS games.
Examples of turn-based games include Sid Meier's Civilization, the Heroes of Might and Magic series, the Fire Emblem series, and Shattered Union.
Web based strategy games are a less popular variant where the player doesn't need any additional software installed at their computer because the games have web site interfaces. Such games often last for several months, before the round ends and the game restarts. Some of these games are extremely popular and have hundreds of thousands of players. Examples of web based strategy games are Planetarion, Dawn of Myth and Terra Incognita.
Massively Multiplayer Online RTS (MMORTS) is a extremely small subdivision, but has proven to have great potential. Games of this sub-genre include Shattered Galaxy, Mankind and the recently scraped in development Sovereign.
Third-person shooters
Third-person shooters (TPS) employ a third person perspective for the player. This is normally just behind the game character, but it is sometimes an isometric perspective. Some shooters default to either a first- or third-person perspective but allow the player to choose between the two; others switch between the two at predetermined points in the game.
The Grand Theft Auto series falls into this genre, as do such games as Heretic II, Jet Force Gemini, Max Payne, Tomb Raider, Mafia, Magic Carpet and Oni.
City-building games
In city building games the player acts as overall planner or leader to meet the needs and wants of game characters by initiating structures for food, shelter, health, spiritual care, economic growth, etc. Success is achieved when the city budget makes a growing profit and citizens experience an upgraded lifestyle in housing, health, and goods. While military development is often included, the emphasis is on economic strength.
SimCity and Populous were both popular and influential city-building games.
Notable genres
Adult video games, like adult movies or other media, are intended for an adult audience. There exists a wide variety of adult games, though many lack mainstream appeal and represent a niche category. The object of an adult game may differ from a mainstream video game or computer game, in that the reward can be a visual representation of nudity, partial nudity, or sexual activity rather than points, etc. Some games may focus on humor or drama rather than arousal, or simply have normal gameplay accompanied by nudity.
Arcade games are traditionally the coin-operated video games found in arcades during the 1970s and 1980s. These games were characterised as quick play action games that had an addictive quality. Arcade games are easy to learn, yet difficult to master. Since the decline of coin-operated games, "arcade" has become a genre in its own right. Arcade games can now be found in many sites that contain browser-based games.
Educational games, as the name implies, attempt to teach the user using the game as a vehicle. Most of these types of games target young user from the ages of about three years to mid-teens; past the mid-teens, subjects become so complex (e.g. Calculus) that teaching via a game is impractical. Numerous subgenres exist, each for a different field (math games, typing games and so on).
Notable games in the genre include the Carmen Sandiego series, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, and the Oregon Trail series. Programming games like Robocode and Core War may also be put in the educational category. A somewhat less serious approach to the genre is typified by the typing tutor The Typing of the Dead.
Maze games need logical thinking to foresee where the enemies come. One must be able to foresee hostile attacks about the flanks to escape from them. The most famous Game of this genre is Pac-Man. This genre frequently crosses over with Puzzle, but it often gets by completely without jigsaw puzzle elements and demands only reaction and planning.
Music games are typically arcade games that challenge the player to follow sequences of movement or develop specific rhythms. Some games require the player to tap out rhythms using a game controller or keyboard while others require the player to actually dance in sync to music. This genre arose in the late 1990s with the increasing popularity of rap music and the success of Dance Dance Revolution.
Notable music games include Amplitude, beatmania IIDX, In The Groove, and Dance Dance Revolution.
Party games are video games developed specifically for multiplayer games between many players. Normally, party games have a variety of different types of mini-games that range between collecting more of a certain item than other players or having the fastest time at something. Versus multiplayer games are not generally considered to be party games. Popular party games include the Mario Party series and Fuzion Frenzy.
Platform games, also called platformers, are games in which downward gravity restricts the player to travelling on horizontal surfaces, which are referred to as platforms.
This is one of the earliest genres of computer games, and was once very popular and well-supported, but has declined with the increasing popularity of 3D graphics. Traditionally, platform games were 2D, viewing the environment from a side-on, 'cutaway' perspective. This could be done easily with sprites and was simple for early computers to handle. 3D computer graphics have removed the necessity for this restricted view, and can create platform worlds in full 3D. However, this loses the simplicity of control and gameplay of the 2D games. Nonetheless, 3D platformers are not uncommon.
Traditional elements of platform games include running, jumping, and climbing ladders and ledges. Fighting and shooting are also frequent elements.
Notable platform games and series include Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., Metroid, Lode Runner, Commander Keen, Sonic the Hedgehog, Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot.
Puzzle games require the player to solve logic puzzles or even navigate complex locations such as mazes. This genre frequently crosses over with adventure and educational games. Some arcade games, in particular Tetris-variants, are often labeled puzzle games, despite the fact that gameplay depends on hand/eye coordination and quick reflexes, rather than thought and logic.
Famous puzzle games include Lemmings, Minesweeper, and Boulder Dash; see list of computer puzzle games for more.
A somewhat more recent genre, sometimes referred to as a "sneaker" to make contrast with the action-oriented "shooter" subgenre. These games have much in common with the first- or third-person shooter types, but tend to emphasize subterfuge and precision strikes over the more overt mayhem of shooters. Examples of the stealth genre include the Thief series, the Metal Gear series, Splinter Cell series, and Beyond Good & Evil.
Survival horror
Survival horror games focus on fear and attempt to scare the player via traditional horror fiction elements such as atmospherics, death, the undead, blood and gore. Many of these games include first-person shooter elements.
The genre is thought to having originated with Alone in the Dark and to a lesser extent System Shock, and was popularized by the Resident Evil series. Other notable games in the genre include Silent Hill and Fatal Frame (Project Zero).
Most popular board games, card games, and the like have been computerized to some degree or another. Computer game programs can be worthy opponents and can help improve one's skill at traditional games.
Chess, Checkers, Othello (a.k.a. Reversi), and Backgammon have world class computer programs.
Mah-jongg and related games are immensely popular in Japan.
Go, popular in Asia. It is infamously difficult to program a computer to play Go well: see Computer Go.
Magic: The Gathering has had computer versions for some time.
Vehicular combat
Vehicular combat (or car combat) games focus on fast-paced action, as the player operates a car or other vehicle and attempts to disable or destroy CPU or human opponents. Vehicular combat games often allow a player to choose from a variety of potential vehicles, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Vehicular combat was born out of racing/shooter combinations like Spy Hunter, RoadBlasters and Rock 'N' Roll Racing, but differs in that the players can, if desired, take their vehicles off predefined routes and do battle wherever they please.
Famous vehicular combat games include the Carmageddon series, Interstate '76, and the Twisted Metal series.
Superseded genres
Example - Zork, an early text adventure/ King's Quest I, a graphical adventure game.
Adventure games were some of the earliest games on the market. They cast the player as the protagonist of a story, normally requiring the player to solve various puzzles using various artifacts. The earliest adventure games were textual (text adventures or interactive fiction). In these early adventure games, the player uses a keyboard to enter commands such as "get rope" or "go west" and the computer describes what is happening.
As graphics became more common, adventure games began to supplement and later on replace textual descriptions with visuals (for example, a picture of the current location). These graphical adventure games still used textual input.
The growing use of mice led to the 'point-and-click' genre of adventure games, where the player would no longer have to type commands. The player could, for example, click on a hand icon and then on a rope to pick up the rope.
Mass-market adventure games are rare today, and most new entries into the genre are fan-created interactive fiction games.
Adventure games began with Colossal Cave Adventure in the 1970s, later developed into the Zork series, and rose to popularity in the 1980s and early to mid-1990s. Notable titles include Day of the Tentacle, the King's Quest series and the Monkey Island games. The more action-oriented adventure games such as Syberia or Full Throttle, incorporate other modes of gameplay.
There is still an active community of interactive fiction authors and players, although major commercial enterprises are rare.
Interactive movies
Interactive movies came about with the invention of laserdiscs. These games are pre-filmed full-motion cartoons or live-action sequences, where the player controls some of the moves of the main character. For example, when in danger, the player decides which move or action, or combination to choose. In these games, the only activity the user has is to choose or guess the move the designers intended him to make.
With the evolution of the more flexible 3D graphics, interactive movies are quickly disappearing.
Notable games of this category include Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.
Light-gun games
Light gun games use a pointing device for computers and a control device for arcade and video games. The first light guns appeared in the 1930s, following the development of light-sensing vacuum tubes. It wasn't long before the technology began appearing in arcade shooting games, beginning with the Seeburg Ray-O-Lite in 1936. These early light gun games used small targets (usually moving) onto which a light-sensing tube was mounted; the player used a gun (usually a rifle) that emitted a beam of light when the trigger was pulled. If the beam struck the target, a "hit" was scored. Modern screen-based light guns work on the opposite principle -- the sensor is built into the gun itself, and the on-screen target(s) emit light rather than the gun. The first light gun of this type was used on the MIT Whirlwind computer.
Notable games of this category include the Virtua Cop and the Time Crisis series.
Retro is not necessarily a genre and can refer to any game, even a new one, that adopts a style or "feel" that has since been superseded. However, the term is most commonly used to specifically refer to the early games following a simple (if not simplistic) interface that involves, at most, simple four-directional movement and one basic command. Most pre-Nintendo Entertainment System console and arcade games could be classified as "retro". Pong and Pac-Man are probably the two most notable examples of the genre.
Scrolling shooters
Scrolling shooters, also known as "shmups" or "shoot 'em ups", place emphasis on shooting, and usually simplify other gameplay aspects of in deference to this. Several of the earliest arcade games (such as Space Invaders) could be classed as shoot 'em ups, although in practice they are usually not.
The games that typify the shoot 'em up genre are scrolling shooter]]s - shoot 'em ups that are traditionally played on a long, 2D, scrolling playing area. Scrolling shooters are generally classified by their direction of scroll: the most common are horizontal (side view) and vertical (top view) shooters. Two examples are R-Type and Raiden respectively.
There are also fixed shooters, which take place on a single screen; for example, Robotron: 2084. / Robotron 64.
The scrolling shooter is an early one, with its roots in the early 1980s. It has a mixed following nowadays, however, classic-style 2D shooters are still being made, commonly rendered in 3D graphics. Ikaruga is a popular modern shoot 'em up.
And so on, and so forth.

.- Speaking on behalf of the Bishops Conference of Spain, Father Juan Martinez Camino, secretary general of the body, said proposed reforms of the country's laws on assisted reproduction would permit the conception of "medicinal babies" and consequently the death of many human embryos. Speaking on Spanish TV, Father Martinez said the creation of health embryos to be used for the purposes of curing illnesses is the equivalent of "eugenics."
"If I am producing eight embryos to cure a sick sibling…and I chose from them the ones that are healthy and are compatible, and I let one of them develop in a test tube and the rest I throw in the trash can, that is called eugenics," he warned.
Father Martinez added that, "Trying to cure a sibling at the cost of five of his brothers or sisters who have had their right to life taken away is very grave for the future of humanity."
He recalled that all embryos have a completely new genetic code, "and if you don't throw it away in the trash, it develops and is a human being."
"What is it? A dog, a mineral or a group of genes? It is a human body distinct from father and mother, and it has the right to life, and I can not sacrifice it for anything, even to save the world," he added.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

To: firstname.lastname@example.com
A convoy of more than 20 Mexican Army vehicles arrived in Ciudad Mier to
guard and protect families caught in the crossfire of gun battles between
rival drug trafficking organizations.
Ciudad Mier has been the focus of intense combat following the death of
Gulf Cartel leader Antonio Ezequiel Cardenas-Guillen in Matamoros during a
battle with marines last week.
The fighting has been non-stop in Ciudad Mier since Cardenas-Guillen's
Action 4 News has learned that the Mexican Army has sent reinforcements to
both Ciudad Mier and to guard refugees at a shelter in Miguel Aleman.
Families who fled the violence are receiving help from neighboring towns.
Tamaulipas Gov. Eugenio Hernandez-Flores told reporters that the Mexico's
federal government is sending more reinforcements to the troubled border
region known as "La Frontera Chica" or "The Little Border."
Hernandez-Flores said more marines, soldiers and federal police are
expected to arrive in the region due to the violence of the past several
The Tamaulipas governor told reporters that there was an interagency
meeting on Tuesday to discuss news strategies about how to protect the
residents of Tamaulipas.
Meanwhile, teachers have been fleeing the violence in the "Frontera Chica"
communities of Ciudad Mier, Miguel Aleman and Camargo.
The Tamaulipas Teacher's Union reports that 100 teachers have abandoned
their classrooms in a region south of the Rio Grande from Roma and Rio
Grande City.
The union reported that another 24 teachers in Reynosa and 25 teachers
from Matamoros have done the same.
The union told reporters that they have sent administrative personnel to
take the place of the teachers in the classrooms.

HuffPost Live Appearance: John Hawkins vs. 5 Liberals On Class Warfare
Yesterday, I did a HuffPost Live segment called, "Us Vs. Them: From Bain Capital to the 47%, the Obama campaign became an extended argument about economic class. Has politics become a class war?"
It was truly an US vs. Them segment with me going toe-to-toe with 4 liberal guests. Granted, that wasn't fair, but they already had a three person advantage and if they added another 2-3 people, I still don't think it would have evened it up for their side.

The Disney Family Fun mud cake is a delicious imitation of a compost. This squirmy dessert is sure to appeal to the young ones, and is ideal for entertaining guests. The nice thing about this recipe is that it adds a fun element to eating desserts, and it's simple to make.
Although the design of the treat is child-friendly, the contrast of the sweet and salty elements that come from the pretzels and chocolate center is sure to entice the adult palette as well.
The ingredients needed to make this treat include chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, pretzel rods, crushed chocolate cookies, candy fruit slices, peanuts and gummy worms. Simply cover the cake with frosting, stick the pretzels around the corners, and add the rest of the ingredients to the top of the cake.

I fell in love with the Kashi Coco Beach granola last year, but no one is carrying it where I live anymore. It was also pretty expensive for a small package, and had 9 grams of fat per 1/2 cup serving. So this recipe is my attempt to recreate a yummy chocolate coconut granola and knock down some of the fat at the same time. The calories in this version are just below the original (224 vs. 230), but the fat was reduced from 9g to 3g without losing any of the protein (both have 6g of protein)!

Sittin' here restin' my bones: Gull Lake provides the backdrop — and maybe a meal or two — for thousands of Minnesotans who love nothing better than getting Up North every summer.
A loon bobbles to the surface of Gull Lake while a boat grumbles awake and trolls across a nearby bay, leaving a "V" in waters gilded by the sun still hugging the horizon.
It's the start of another promising day in one of Minnesota's summer hubs — a day filled with sunscreen and sweat, sticky ice cream and frothy beer, dreamy dockside reading with toes in the water and the welcome weariness from a full day of wakeboarding or fishing, paddling or cruising.
Minnesotans head north like it's part of their genetic coding, and perhaps by now it is. We first began flocking to the Brainerd Lakes Area after embracing cars in the 1920s and dusting off from the Great Depression in the mid-1930s.
We still do, and for the same reason: to seek a slice of summer paradise on lakes ringed by forests.
Boyd Lodge in Crosslake continues to draw new generations of the same families. Its vehicles are faster, the boats are more powerful and many come toting electronics, said Mike Schwieters, Boyd's third-generation owner. But, he added, "There's still the allure of going to the lake and spending the time together."
Some of the mom-and-pop resorts that once lined the 500 or so lakes in the Brainerd area have disappeared, but vacationers still have a mind-boggling array of lodging choices.
Madden's on Gull Lake
Want to let everyone in the family loose until the suitcases overflow with sandy clothes? Madden's Resort, ideal for multiple generations, might be your place. Known for its timeless throwback feel, the Brainerd resort serves up an all-you-can-do buffet of activities that could be tough to cram into a week.
Tweens wander to ice cream shops and climb into a Paul Bunyan-sized Adirondack chair for goofy photo ops. Teens launch one another from water toys and shriek through wakeboarding lessons. Parents relax in the lakeside spa, go paddling or challenge one another with 63 holes of golf while kids ages 4 to 12 are at the Adventure Cove day camp. Grandparents help younger kids learn to lawn bowl and bait a fishing hook or grab a book for the beach or pool.
The resort, celebrating its 85th year, sprawls across 1,500 acres and covers a peninsula that juts into the south end of Gull Lake between Wilson Bay and Steamboat Bay. It feels big enough to be a stand-alone village after consolidating what were once several resorts. There are 287 units of lodging with a variety of styles, from historic hotel rooms at Madden's Inn and newly remodeled Sunrise Villas to sunset-facing Wilson Bay hotel rooms and vintage yellow Mission Point cabins anchored by the Madden Lodge restaurant, with one of the area's best lake views for dining.
Some parts feel more dated than others, but you might not notice when you're taking trapshooting lessons or learning to fly a floatplane. It's the breadth of activities that draws vacationers here. Lighted trails and a footbridge lead to restaurants, a coffee shop, art gallery, playground and the tennis and croquet club in the center of the peninsula.
Come evening, the sweet scent of campfire marshmallows drifts across the peninsula, and families gather to watch the sunset at Wilson Bay.

Boyd Lodge
The new luxury vacation homes and 1980s townhouses (22 units in all) that make up Boyd Lodge sit along a channel of Rush Lake and a short stroll from Lower Whitefish Lake.
While Gull Lake claims the region's biggest, grandest resorts, small and midsize family-run resorts still dot the Whitefish chain of 14 lakes, anchored by the town of Crosslake. Many, like Boyd Lodge, still require a week's stay in the summer and are in the midst of expanding or building new accommodations with upscale furnishings, fireplaces, waterfall showers, granite and stone kitchen accents and screen porches.
It's a big change from its early days, when owner Mike Schwieters' mother chipped ice from the icehouse and hand-pumped water from the well. The remaining historic building — a red-trimmed log house that served as the main lodge for decades — sits by a new outdoor pool, kids' pool and sauna debuting this summer.
A new two-story Boyd Lodge check-in area includes meeting spaces for weddings and reunions, a gift shop with candy and treats, and an inviting fire pit surrounded by chairs. It faces a large pond and footbridge where kids race across to reach the beach unless they're trolling the perimeter for turtles.

As a child, I was baffled by my parents' reluctance to feed me candy at mealtime. Candy made me happy. Didn't they value my happiness?
Of course they did, but like most parents, they knew that to make their children truly happy in the long-term, they must forego the occasional, sugary, short-term happiness.
Like parenting, modern user experience design requires a delicate balance of careful short- and long-term considerations.
