download it
its a must have
or you cant call you a mod playing person
Natural Selection is an action-strategy game for the PC. It is a "Half-life modification", which means it is written on top of the Half-life game engine. "Mods" are a new sort of underground game development that enables small teams to create games using the technology of existing games. This means less expensive and lower risk game development, which allows experimentation and innovation. This arrangement also implies that "mods" are made as art, not for making money. When complete, Natural Selection will be released for free to all owners of Half-life, which is required to play Natural Selection. Game summary Multiplayer-only Half-life mod where one team plays marines and the other plays aliens. The humans must keep their cool and work together to assault an alien-infested spacecraft or colony. Marines vs. marines and aliens vs. aliens scenarios are also supported. "First-person strategy" with a real resource model and consequences for actions....
download it
its a must have
or you cant call you a mod playing person
yeaa it's cool mod ;) :D hey man:D......
man i cant wait for the download to be done and when is the natural selection 2 coming if there even is coming one
no rage please, but it looks like it is coded, and overall done, better then the half-life itself.
Natural Selection is one of the original RTS \ FPS hybrid games, pitting marines versus aliens in a team-oriented grudge match to the death, where only the quick and clever survive

Gaming like it's 2099
Flash Forward ten years into the future. Perhaps you are playing Call of Duty 8 or Fallout 7 and using technologies currently only considered to be worthy of a place in Sci-Fi movie. Sound likely? It may be kicking at an open door to state that ten years from now, gaming will look completely different than it does today. The technologies discussed here can seem a bit futuristic but you may be surprised to learn that some are just around the corner from widespread availability. I firmly believe that all of the technology discussed in this feature will be commonplace within the next 5 to 10 years, in one form or another.
It all started with a little Wii...
The race to deliver new gameplay experiences has definitely intensified in recent years Spurred on by Nintendo's innovative motion-sensing controls, both Sony and Microsoft are looking to break new ground with even more sophisticated input devices. Microsoft's E3 demo of Project Natal not only showed off their technology but, more importantly, revealed a glimpse of what our gaming future will be like. It won't be long before computers will be able to detect your mood and cheer you up when you have just been dumped by your girlfriend after having witnessed a 2 hour fight with its digital eye. While this sounds like something out of the latest Star Trek, consider that many of the devices in the original Star Trek series are real today.
The various pieces of the technology puzzle that make this new level of interaction with computers possible will inevitably be implemented into games. To be honest, most of the technology that the three console makers showed at the E3 has been around for some time. Facial recognition applications, for example, have been in use by the London police for years. Unsuspecting citizens are being tracked, recognized and their visages filed away by thousands of cameras every day. With painfully accurate precision, the system recognizes the faces of sought after criminals and terrorists in crowded streets. John Cleese once attempted to defeat the system (and we all know how elastic his face is) and couldn't until he wore a beard and glasses. As far as I was concerned, it was really only a matter of time before this kind of technology found its way into consumer homes.
When it comes right down to it, it is often not the technology itself that is most interesting for game developers, but how it can be implemented. Australian student Torben Sko has a superb example of how (relatively) common technology can be used in unexpected ways. Let me ask you a question: have you ever caught yourself moving your head sideways to see if you could peek around the corner of a wall in a game? I have... and it's mildly embarrassing having to admit to it. In the future however, this will be perfectly acceptable behavior. Torben's software can actually make the screen respond. He uses a camera and software to track the position of a player's head, feeding the positional data back into the game.
I'll bet you never considered using your head as an input device for your game, but it can get a lot whackier than that. In the last few years, scientists have made a lot of headway (no pun intended) to enable people to control computers with their brain. There is a good chance you have already seen images of people with wires sticking out of their heads, endlessly staring at computer screens in an attempt to move the mouse. Technologies such as the BrainGate allow disabled people to interact with computers, thus greatly expanding their world.
Obviously, I don't believe we will all be plugging our heads into our Playstation 3 any time soon, but mind-controlled gaming is closer than you'd think. One wireless alternative comes from US tech company NeuroSky. They have created a headset that can roughly do the same as the BrainGate, without requiring any wires. If you think this is futuristic and more than a decade away, you're wrong. You can purchase this headset in their online shop today. It includes some simple games that anyone can play without any special training whatsoever.
Another US company, called Emotiv, is taking things a step further. Their headset goes beyond merely controlling the 'physical' computer environment; this baby can also detect your emotions. In fact, it can distinguish between 30 different emotions (I didn't even know there were that many!) and can feed these back to your game so that it can respond to your moods (note to self: playing future versions of Tomb Raider could be very embarrassing).
This example is a perfect illustration of how the industry intends to deliver gamers a full sensory experience. Most of you will probably be familiar with the term force feedback in controllers and steering wheels, but how about force feedback delivered to your chest? In late 2007, TN Games launched their "3RD SPACE" gaming vest. This lethal-looking apparel looks more like personal body armor, but nothing could be farther from the truth. This vest will actually apply pressure whenever your in-game character takes a hit from a punch, bullet or incoming object. TN Games explanation of the capabilities is clear, concise and to the point. "The vest communicates with compatible games to give precise, three dimensionally accurate impacts where it happens, as it happens". Right now, the vest is most suitable for Fighting games and First-Person Shooters but the next step could be to mimic the g-forces incurred when driving or flying. The company is currently readying a second product, complementary to their vest. The HTX Helmet will do the same for the head as the vest does for the body: deliver feedback of impacts to the head. It will even let you feel bullets whizzing by your helmet. Freaky!

Meet Chris Ayer, Your Newest Musician Crush
Come and take a gander at one of New York's most swoon-worthy singer-songwriters.
2. This is Chris Ayer. He's a Brooklyn-based musician with a flair for lyricism in the introspective tradition of James Taylor, Paul Simon, and, more currently, John Mayer.
Maybe that's because he studied Poetry AND Philosophy at Stanford University. Hubba, hubba.
3. And he just so happens to have the voice of an angel.
…an angel who looks really, really good in v-necks…
4. He has several albums out on iTunes.
Go check out his song "Relativity" right now. Or "The Revealing" or "Roy G. Biv" or "This is a Test" or "Evaporate." …No, seriously, go now. I'll wait here.
5. His newest album, The Noise, came out this past March.
Fun Fact: The album's cover photo was shot by New York based photographer Shervin Lainez, who also shot the cover for Regina Spektor's latest album, What We Saw From the Cheap Seats.
6. "The Infinite Abyss of Space," one of The Noise's most popular songs, was actually a last minute addition to the album.
Here he is playing it for the first time in public at Manhattan's The Bitter End in the summer of 2012.
7. Now the single is being featured in Land Rover's new promotional campaign for their line of cars featuring the Meridian sound system.
Yeah, yeah, cars are cool. Show me more Chris Ayer.
8. Since we're on a YouTube binge here, let's talk about Chris's channel, where he uploads live, one-take videos of his original songs.
This one features Chris's best friend IRL, singer-songwriter Matt Simons. Matt's song "With You" became a bonafide billboard hit in the Netherlands this year.
9. He's been known to throw a few gorgeous covers into the mix, too.
Dibs, y'all.
10. Though Chris isn't widely known yet, he already has fan bases all over the world, from Brazil to the United Kingdom to Italy.
And, boy, are they devoted.
11. Fans have uploaded countless photos to Facebook and Instagram that show Chris taking the time after his shows to give some love back.
Only slightly, terribly jealous.
12. Speaking of Instagram, let's take a moment to talk about Chris's personal account…
…because it's awesome.
13. When he isn't posting fantastic photos chronicling his tours across the states and abroad…
14. …or photos of himself palling around with his musician buds…
The bro love is clearly strong.
15. …or photos of himself being a completely lovable goofball…
Oh, good lord, he's doing velociraptor claws!
16. …he'll post the occasional, flawless selfie.
Now that's some high-quality scruff.
17. And thank goodness for that.
If that were actually an earring, he'd totally be pulling it off.
19. Because maybe you haven't noticed yet…
Photo Credit: Shervin Lainez
Sexy-in-a-Tie Credit: Chris Ayer
20. …but this guy is really good-looking.
(Does anybody else see the resemblance to Michael Fassbender here?)
21. Like, really, really good-looking.
Jeez, louise, the man can turn it out.
Radness lift-off.
23. Ok, maybe that was hyperbolical. But he's really, very handsome.
Don't play coy with me, Ayer.
24. And to get back to the discussion of his musical talent, the man can write one hell of a breakup song.
(But I find it highly doubtful that this man's ever been dumped.)
25. After all, that's what this whole post is about: Chris Ayer is a fantastically talented musician.
But did I mention that he's really good-looking?
26. And this year, he got signed to Sony Europe!
Here he is holding his contract. Such sexy, sexy derping.
27. So this past spring, he and Matt Simons toured Europe and got to play to crowds like this:
Holy cow!
28. What this all means is that hopefully we'll all be seeing a lot more of Chris Ayer.
He's left-handed, too!
29. And that would be a very, very good thing.
My one-day husband, folks.
30. Oh, hey, he's even got a Facebook fan page!
The better to stalk you with, my dear.
32. In the meantime — keep climbing, Chris. Keep climbing.
Miley Cyrus reference. Topical.

Clough confident of Brayford deal
Derby have had one offer for the 21-year-old, who played under Clough at Burton, rejected by the League Two club.
Clough said: "It is ongoing. We put a bid in a while back and Crewe's valuation was way above ours.
"It always seems to be the way, but a bit of toing and froing and I think eventually we will get an agreement suitable to all parties."
Meanwhile, Crewe youngsters Ben Marshall and Matthew Lund have joined Premier League neighbours Stoke.
Both players, who came through Crewe's youth system, turned down the club's offer of a professional contract. However, Alex are entitled to compensation for the duo as they are under the age of 24.

Chelsea v Swansea preview
Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:47:00
Demba Ba is likely to return up front after being ineligible for the Europa League, with Fernando Torres set to make way after playing against Basel.
Eden Hazard is in line to face the Swans again after being sent off for kicking a ball boy during February's Capital One Cup semi-final between the teams.
Gary Cahill was an unused substitute in the win in Switzerland and could start in defence following his six-week absence with a knee injury, with Oriol Romeu (knee) the only definite absentee.
Swansea manager Michael Laudrup has no new injury concerns ahead of the meeting at Stamford Bridge.
Neil Taylor was an unused substitute against Southampton last weekend following a lengthy injury lay-off and Laudrup may decide to bring him back into the side.
The Dane will consider freshening up his line-up following a disappointing run of results and have the likes of Wayne Routledge and Ki Sung-yueng pushing for starts.

Cookoothama Cabernet Merlot 2007
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson with a youthful purple hue. Lovely plum aromas infused with hints of spice, herbs and dark chocolate. A very stylish, well structured wine with an intense and concentrated palate of blackcurrant and mint with rich silky tannins and well integrated oak.
Food Accompaniments
This is a great food wine that is versatile enough to compliment a broad range of red meat dishes such as lamb, curries and full flavoured casseroles.
Winemaker Notes
The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for this wine is sourced from our Cookoothama Vineyard on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River at Darlington Point in the Riverina. The fruit was harvested in the cool of night and delivered in small batches to the winery. The grapes were crushed, yeasted and pumped over in traditional style to avoid the extraction of bitter tannins. The wine was then transferred to a combination of new and one and two year old French and American oak for further maturation prior to final blending and bottling.

Will PSM be available in Denmark? I was looking for it on my Vita earlier today and could not find it.
Posted 3 October
Welcome To PlayStation Mobile
Good news everyone. PlayStation Mobile goes live today, delivering exciting bite-sized content, including games, to both PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Certified devices through PlayStation Store.
PlayStation Mobile offers an enticing entry point into the PlayStation world to all owners of a PlayStation Certified smartphone or tablet, while giving PlayStation Vita gamers the chance to expand their collection with a host of innovative, affordable titles. All you need to get started is a Sony Entertainment Network account and a compatible device (full list here).
If you're using a PS Vita, a new PlayStation Mobile tab will appear in the Store. If you're using a smartphone or tablet, you can access PlayStation Store through the dedicated "PlayStation Mobile for Android" app. This will either automatically be added to your device or you can manually download it via playstation.com. For more information on accessing the app, see our online guide.
Of course, at the heart of PlayStation Mobile are the games, and the launch line-up truly promises something for everyone.
There are a wide range of titles available, including adventure, action, puzzle and sports games, created by both third party developers and SCE Worldwide Studios. Prices range from €0.50 to €12.99.
All PlayStation Mobile games will support the on-screen virtual DUALSHOCK controller, ensuring a unique experience across all PlayStation Certified devices. And if you're using a PlayStation Vita or Xperia PLAY device, you'll also be able to play with traditional button controls, where applicable.
Here are a few select highlights of the titles released today:
Super Crate Box - It's time to fight endless hordes of enemies and collect every weapon crate you can. Prepare for an arcade delight with tight controls, refreshing game mechanics, cracking retro art and a terribly hip chiptune soundtrack.
Twist Pilot – Twist Pilot is a fiendishly addictive puzzle action game. Guide the constantly rotating Phil through 72 action-packed levels, making sure not to touch the sides while avoiding the mischievous Spiders and their troublesome tricks and traps.
Rebel – Being a prisoner of war is no fun. But sometimes, just sometimes, your enemy is stupid enough to let you escape. Armed to the teeth with no weapons whatsoever, how will you evade your captors?
Fuel Tiracas – Planet Tiracas needs an atmosphere, but its air-producing power stations require a fine balance of precious minerals to kick-start their nuclear reactors. That's where you come in!
Here's the full launch line-up, with new games added every Wednesday:
Super Crate Box | Vlambeer |
Twist Pilot | Crash Lab |
Rebel | PomPom Software |
Fuel Tiracas | FuturLab |
Aqua Kitty – Milk Mine Defender | Tikipod |
Underline | Albino Pixel |
Samurai Beatdown | Beatnik Games |

Once you've bought the content, you can play it on up to three different devices.
At launch, the service will be available in nine countries: Japan, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Australia, with more to follow.
Another great aspect of PlayStation Mobile is how it offers a more streamlined development environment for game creators. The PlayStation Mobile Developer Program includes the official version of PlayStation Mobile SDK and will become available to the development community in November.
This will be rolled-out in a phased manner starting with 11 countries and regions, including Japan, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan. We'll update you on the programme nearer launch.
So, without further ado, head on over to PlayStation Mobile and start exploring. Enjoy!
I can't start the app, get error code 8008103E. I'm guessing the store just isn't actually live yet?
It says it isn't available in Ireland so I can't log into it, any idea when it should be working?
I have 2 Question>
1) When will PSM go LIVE in INDIAN Store???
2) Will these Games support TROPHIES???
Please help!!
Already bought three PSM games this morning, Fuel Tiracas and Beat Sliders from FuturLab and Rebel from PomPom Games. Both studios put out great games, so I was going to buy them anyway, but they both got the pricing right as well Only played Fuel Tiracas so far, but it's really well worth the 40p it cost, very addictive.
Not so sure about the pricing on some the games, but we shall see how it pans out.
It's a good launch though, nice selection of games (and even a music creation app) and easily accessible on the Vita. Looking forward to see how PSM expands over the coming months now. Would be great to see more PSN integration for the games and more services and apps.
If this phased manner is anything like the Video store, it'll be many a year before it arrives in Ireland, if ever.
Please add it to the Finnish store soon!
So, basically, what you're saying is that if I want to play the minis I already bought on PSN (Numblast, Hungry Giraffe) on the Vita or my Android phone, I need to buy them again?
it went live earlier this morning, anyways so much for the rumour revamp of the PSN store.
i guess it wont be today as a revamp doesn't tie in with 1 region, meaning SCEA get the revamp too.
i thought the revamp will add PSM on the Ps3 store like vita games are, but i guess i was wrong then.
Hi, will you answer these questions for me please?
1) When approximately will PS Mobile launch in Ireland
2) Can you send someone over to the LittleBigPlanet pirate post to look at my comment, I'm having a serious game issue.
Do these have TROPHIES ?
The country list in the article doesn't include Ireland, but the country tags for the article does include IE. 'I want to believe'
At launch, the service will be available in nine countries: Japan, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Australia, with more to follow.
More to follow? Like how, in 2009, you said the Video Store was coming to more countries that year? What year is it again? 2012? Shambolic.
But Yay! Another service SCEUK has decided to offer UK and "big" region customers without bringing parity to other regions for services long since forgotten about.
Where is the Video Store for "less important regions"? I challenge you to answer this long-standing question that you have consistently dodged for three YEARS.
Good luck next-gen, Sony. You're in for a massive shock.
Getting this error too.
Never mind. Looks like I've got to wait for Sony or HTC to make an announcement at some unspecified time in the future before my One X will be compatible…
Hey Fred,
My comment/question (#12) is actually more for you. Any chance you could do something none of your predecessors managed to do and get an actual response out of the video store team and provide a road map of when other regions will be supported?
You do know that your main competitor is able to release digital content in all the regions it operations in at the same time, right?
yeah what the hell, why can't these games be released everywhere at once? years of waiting for these too? and we are still waiting for the Youtube App among others…
Great to see some smaller app-style games coming to the Vita. This will no doubt tempt a lot more people into purchasing a Vita and keep many busy between full game releases.
I would say that some of the game prices are higher than expected, but with Playstation plus integration for the Vita coming very soon, I'm sure it will more than make up for it.
Also, it's nice to see preview pictures on the Vita store!
Good job.
What sort of software can be created/released on PS Mobile, is it JUST games/game apps?
Or will we be seeing user-created (but certified/monitored by Sony)apps like RRS, radio apps Etc?
I hope we do, I think having Android type apps on PS Vita would boost it's appeal and make it a more useful system.
Wow you tell us this information the same day it goes live… You could atleast have informed us which countries that the service would be available for on day 1 so we who were left out(like Sweden) didn't get are hopes up.
Any idea when it will Launch for Scandinavian or more specific Sweden?
Will Playstation Mobile be available in Czech republic?
[quote]Good news everyone. [/quote]
5 countries? Seriously?
That is NOT really *everyone*. I was so counting on those little games, and now I see I'm not getting them It makes me feel like a second category user…
Do you have any dates to tell the rest of your gamers?
Oh right, playing favorites with countries again… What a suprise!
At least you ain't as bad as Microsoft & Xbox 360
The fact that a post announcing a new service is peppered with people asking when it will be released in their country just goes to show that SCEUK really are years behind the competition.
Keep fracturing your user-base, guys. Keep treating one set of customers better than another. You'll soon have no customers.
Congrats on the launch. I like the evolution of the mini system (in some form).
Looking forward to when it launches in South Africa =)
by Australia do you also mean NZ?
"HTC One X * Details to be announced later on"!
Bums! i was getting all excited..
Any idea when-ish the One X will be compatible??
Hey redalertrules,
How would New Zealand equal Australia?
Looks like you're left out like the rest of us, mate.
I have 2 Questions
1) When will PSM go LIVE in INDIAN Store???
2) Will these Games support TROPHIES???
Please help!!
@Brodiesan yea i was just joking around as we are sometimes lumped together like when new zealand did better in the world cup the team was called australasia in the news papers over there.
Ridiculous that this blog post starts off "Good news everyone", and is tagged for Ireland, and PlayStation Mobile isn't available in Ireland.
Here's a few tips:
1. Please make the absolute utmost effort to bring all content to all regions at the same time. If you think you're doing this now, you are absolutely wrong.
2. Please learn how to tag posts properly. Tagging something as Ireland when it's for something Ireland doesn't get basically just rubs our noses in it. I can't imagine people in other countries are going to feel very differently either. The blog has a tagging system for countries, you guys put it there, you guys should know how to use it.
3. If you simply cannot get something released everywhere and on the same day, then please bear in mind that presenting it so enthusiastically is going to go down BADLY. The least – the VERY LEAST – that we expect to see from blog posts like this is an apology for the fact that we are treated as second class (if you think we're not, this is part of the issue) AND and an idea of when to expect to receive the service. Again, that's not something to aim for, that's the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM: you should be aiming for day 1 regional parity.
@31 Well said!
Nice, thanks.
Looking forward to checking out these tools and seeing if I can potentially create something from it. This looks great for indies.
Oh my giddy aunt !! pity i have to go to work soon, but will fill up my wallet before my shift and download some of these on my vita after work. fantastic time to be a vita owner, can't wait for trophy support. please continue to impress me !!!
Good luck getting a response to that. I mentioned this EXACT SAME THING when a news post relating to the Video Store was flagged in the Irish channel. WE DO NOT HAVE A VIDEO STORE! SCEUK WILL NEITHER GIVE US ONE OR TELL US WHEN WE'RE GETTING ONE!
Did I get a response? The hell I did.
SCEUK don't like taking criticism so they ignore the tough questions and/or suggestions of improvement. Actually take care not to rub people's nose in the fact that they're not receiving the same level of service as other customers? Don't be crazy!
Did my question to Fred about about the Video Store receive a reply?
Case in point.
We will let you know as soon as we have news. please watch this space. thank you.
Thank you, Mayumi. I look forward to your subsequent post in 2016.
I've downloaded a few already, good to have some more Vita content.
Two must have feature that NEED implementing are trophies and some apps other than game related.
I know trophies maybe coming later, Some one tell Sony this is a must!!
but will there ever be non gaming apps or is PSM just going to be game related? Fred could you answer this for us? Maybe when more people get hold of the SDK in November we will see other apps?
Will the games listed as being compatible with a controller work fine with the controls on the Xperia Play, or are they expecting a PS3 controller?
will there be an app on vita?
I'll look into this – if I get a firm response, I will pass it on, promise.
Fred, if you provide the community an actual update on the roll-out plan for the Video Store to the neglected regions, I will donate €100 to a charity of your choosing. I am not just saying this. I will send you the receipt of the donation as proof. I will also post a link to it here on the blog.
My point is, sorry, but "I'll look into it" is SCEUK double-talk for "I've answered your question, now go away, I'll never mention this again."
Why am I so confident this is not going to happen? SCEUK have had three YEARS to even provide a pithy update. "Hey guys! We haven't forgotten about you! The Video Store will roll out in Q2 2013 for the following regions …"
Why haven't we seen that? I know why. It's because we're obviously never getting a video store; we're never going to be treated equally by SCEUK. You just don't have the gumption to admit it.
Why are EU countries like United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain always the ones getting the privilege of new services?
What's so bad about the Benelux, Scandinavian countries and other EU countries?
So, PSM – before or after the release of the video store in Belgium?
At 39,,,
Controller means Vita, Xperia Play or any other device that has controls. So the actual buttons on your device.
If you're using a PS Vita, a new PlayStation Mobile tab will appear in the Store
Will these games have trophies?
Just installed it on my Xperia Play, and will install it on my Vita when I get home…
Any chance of cloud saves for these?
I have a couple of questions…
-Can the PSM Android app be installed on the SD card? The Xperia arc for example is severely lacking in internal storage and at over 18MB the PSM app is quite large.
-Will existing minis and the ownership of them be carried over into PSM?
-Will PSM games be part of the Vita PS Plus service?
Not a bad start, but you might want to advise a demo for the more expensive titles!
Or advise them to bring the price to more reasonable levels.
For about £5 I'd expect something of the standard of Motorstorm RC or Mutant Blobs.
I think the 40p to £2.79 mark is about right.
When this thing releasing in Belgium?
Getting 8008103E error like some other. HTC One X (France) Any infos behind this codename?

NORTH LAS VEGAS (KSNV & MyNews3) -- The latest local municipality to open up to medical marijuana businesses is giving the public a sneak peek at what to expect.
In North Las Vegas, the city council is discussing issues such as who can grow the drug, as well as where and how it will be regulated. There is a draft proposal before the council, but first they want to get some feedback from the council.
No action was taken Wednesday night; the meeting was more of an informative discussion.
The council heard a presentation from Gregory Blackburn, who is the city's community development and compliance director.
He laid out some details on zoning and where green zones, or cultivation facilities, are proposed.
The push is to encourage people to build cultivation facilities at apex industrial park and provide incentives like lower fees for licenses and a quicker process for special use permits from the city.
An ordinance will be introduced in two weeks; then, there will be a vote on the city's medical marijuana rules in July.

Title: Integrating Fuels Treatments and Ecological Values in Piñon-Juniper Woodlands: Fuels, Vegetation, and Avifauna
Project Proposal Abstract: Piñon pine and juniper woodlands are important yet poorly understood communities of the western United States. These ecosystems support diverse and unique bird communities: 20% of nesting species are considered piñon-juniper obligates. Unfortunately, many piñon-juniper ecosystems have been considerably degraded by human practices over the last century. Piñon-juniper woodlands also make up a large proportion of the wildland-urban interface and many stands are high priority for fuels treatments to reduce wildland fire hazard. However, piñon-juniper management and restoration is often hindered by both conflicting management aims and inadequate scientific understanding. The purpose of the proposed research is to assess the relationships between piñon-juniper fuels treatments and ecological values, and to develop strategies to integrate fuels treatments with ecological values in piñon-juniper woodlands. Land managers frequently face trade-offs between wildand fire hazard reduction objectives and ecological goals. An understanding of the nature and degree of such trade-offs in piñon-juniper woodlands remains limited by sparse quantitative research. To what extent do piñon-juniper fuels treatments achieve ecological objectives, where are they in conflict, and how might fuels treatments be altered to reduce undesirable ecological impacts? Our study focuses on the piñon-juniper landscapes of the Arkansas River valley in south-central Colorado, on lands managed by the BLM Royal Gorge Field Office (BLM-RGFO), where 17,000 acres (7080 ha) have been treated in over 300 fuels treatments between 1998 and 2009. Building on a pilot study conducted in 2012 at the request of land managers, the objectives the proposed research are to: 1) Characterize effects of fuels treatments and relationships between piñon-juniper avian communities, vegetation composition and structure, landscape attributes, and fuels. 2) Develop metrics of the ecological effects of fuels treatments based on these relationships. Avian occupancy is a novel and promising such metric, because bird habitat selection integrates both stand-level and landscape-scale variation. 3) Model fire behavior, fuels, and vegetation dynamics in treated and untreated piñon-juniper stands. We seek $192,501 from JFSP to complete these objectives through bird point counts, vegetation and fuels sampling, quantification of landscape attributes, and statistical and simulation models. Data will be collected at 15-20 hydroaxe treatment sites and 15-20 hand-thinning treatment sites paired with 30-40 untreated control sites on lands managed by the RGFO. The information provided at each step of the way will lead directly to management recommendations and applications. The proposed research will be completed between 2013 and 2016; study findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, field trips, webinars, and presentations at conferences and local district offices.

No lace or flowery patterns.
I've made these "male" squares:
Hi Karin, oh those 'boy' colours are so beautiful, and your crochet work is stunning. They are going to go well in a rug for a fellow for sure. You should be very proud of them. Your strawberries and cream squares are equally stunning. I can't stop looking at your beautiful crochet. I am sure I have turned rather a bright green here. My goodness, I want to learn me some more crochet stitches. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us. Bless.

The Lifecycle of Software Objects | ||||||||
Ted Chiang | ||||||||
Subterranean Press, 144 pages | ||||||||
A review by Paul Kincaid
For Aristotle, there were three unities that drama should obey, one of which was the unity of time: the events
in a drama should occur within the span of a single day. Indeed a surprising number of plays and novels still
conform to that unity, think for example of Ulysses by James Joyce or, more recently, The Infinities
by John Banville. And such a narrow compass does have distinct advantages, allowing us to hold the entire
transpiring story within our grasp without too many mysterious ellipses or extraneous incidents. But, in real
life, events do not unfold so conveniently, rather they require days, months, years, or even lifetimes to
progress from beginning to end. In the pursuit of realism, or at least verisimilitude, therefore, how do you
enclose the whole mystery of passing time within the relatively limited confines of a story or play?
There are, essentially, two strategies. You can cherry-pick key moments along the timeline, describe those moments
in detail and allow the reader to imagine what might fill in the gaps. At its most extreme, this means offering
just the beginning and end of the process. This strategy allows full novelistic depth for those points along
the line, but at the expense of any full representation of, and hence awareness of, the time scales involved.
Alternatively, you can present a synopsis of the entire period. This gives a clear impression of the time scales
involved, the various forces that come into play shaping and directing the flow of history.
But it necessarily skims across the surface, refusing the depth that allows us to share the individual
experience of the historical momentum.
This dilemma becomes more pronounced, of course, the longer the period that has to be encompassed by the
story. And this dilemma lies at the heart of the new novella from Ted Chiang, the longest and perhaps the
weakest fiction he has published to date. He proposes that Artificial Intelligence is not something to be
created fully formed, but needs to be raised as a child is raised. To that end, he must necessarily follow
the education of his "digients" over decades, and all within just 140 pages. His solution is a mixture of
the two strategies, though as so often happens in such circumstances, highlighting the worst elements of both.
We begin with Ana Alvarado, an unemployed zookeeper taken on by a cutting edge software company to train up
their latest developments:
software objects who are meant to function as virtual pets. Meanwhile, Derek Brooks, an animator, is working
for the same company designing the new creatures. Already there is something superficial about the
characters: we see them from the outside but are given no real sense of anything below the surface. Normally
that would be no problem, we expect to dig below the surface over the course of a story, but in this case
we never really penetrate any deeper than we do in this initial chapter. Over the years, for example, we are
told that Derek's wife leaves him and he develops an unrequited crush on Ana, yet any sense of the emotional
cost of this is, at best, muted. Indeed the only emotional engagement we really witness is with the digients.
After introducing the two characters, Chiang outlines what happens over the following years: the digients are
launched, there is initial success then the market changes and the company goes into liquidation, but Ana
and Derek are so attached to their charges that they adopt them, then we follow their struggles to continue
their education. The number of digient owners decreases, technology changes so the virtual landscape the
digients occupy becomes obsolete, and there are software companies that want to clone the digients for
purposes that are mostly pornographic. Meanwhile the digients themselves are growing from childish wonder
to adolescent rebellion. The synopsis in the novella is not much longer or more detailed than I have just provided.
From this timeline, Chiang hangs vignettes of Ana and Derek at roughly yearly intervals. These are meant to
provide more depth, though all too often they simply flesh out in a little more detail what we have already
learned, or else set up the next stage of the synopsis. In fact, these in-depth interludes themselves have
a synoptic feel to them, as if Chiang is simply sketching out the elements where a longer novel would fill
in colour and shade and perspective. In the past, I have felt that Ted Chiang had no need to write a full
length novel since the work he was producing suited the short story so perfectly.
Now, for the first time, I feel that what he has written needs the extra space a novel would have
provided. What we get, instead, is skimpy in comparison to the story he is trying to tell.
All that aside, this is Ted Chiang we are talking about, a writer seemingly incapable of writing a dull or
ineffective sentence, so there is much to relish here. The digients themselves, child-like but distinctly
not children, are fascinating creations, the point when their digital personalities are translated into
a robot-like device that allows them to discover the substantiality of the real world is precise, a gem,
absolutely true. And the sweep of the near future, the rise and fall of software companies, the inevitable
obsolescence of programs, the development and dereliction of shared digital landscapes, is completely
convincing. And yet for all its delights, this is a work in which the frustrations are foremost. When
it ends, with the digients just about to discover sex and hence, by implication, leaving adolescence
for adulthood (even though they are still talking a form of broken English that seems out of place in
their maturity) we want more, not because the story stops short of its resolution or because we have
become to attached to these creations that we want to spend longer in their company, but because we
don't feel there has been enough to justify where we have got to and the emotions we have been meant
to invest in the work. I never expected to say this about anything by Ted Chiang, but it would have been
a better book at twice the length.

The fast debris evolution model
Lewis, H.G., Swinerd, G.G., Newland, R.J. and Saunders, A. (2008) The fast debris evolution model. In, 37th COSPAR Scientific Assembly, Montreal, Canada, 13 - 20 Jul 2008. 7pp.
Full text not available from this repository.
The 'Particles-in-a-box' (PIB) model introduced by Talent (1992) removed the need for computer-intensive Monte Carlo simulation to predict the gross characteristics of an evolving debris environment. The PIB model was described using a differential equation that allows the stability of the low Earth orbit (LEO) environment to be tested by a straightforward analysis of the equation's coefficients. As part of an ongoing research effort to investigate more efficient approaches to evolutionary modelling and to develop a suite of educational tools, a new PIB model has been developed. The model, entitled Fast Debris Evolution (FaDE), employs a first-order differential equation to describe the rate at which new objects 10 cm) are added and removed from the environment. Whilst Talent (1992) based the collision theory for the PIB approach on collisions between gas particles and adopted specific values for the parameters of the model from a number of references, the form and coefficients of the FaDE model equations can be inferred from the outputs of future projections produced by high-fidelity models, such as the DAMAGE model.
The FaDE model has been implemented as a client-side, web-based service using Javascript embedded within a HTML document. Due to the simple nature of the algorithm, FaDE can deliver the results of future projections immediately in a graphical format, with complete user-control over key simulation parameters. Historical and future projections for the 10 cm low Earth orbit (LEO) debris environment under a variety of different scenarios are possible, including business as usual, no future launches, post-mission disposal and remediation. A selection of results is presented with comparisons with predictions made using the DAMAGE environment model. The results demonstrate that the FaDE model is able to capture comparable time-series of collisions and number of objects as predicted by DAMAGE in several scenarios. Further, and perhaps more importantly, its speed and flexibility allows the user to explore and understand the evolution of the space debris environment.

Mike Calhoon, Parks Supervisor
John Litel, Community Relations and Marketing
City Park Nine Golf Course, 411 South Bryan Avenue, has achieved designation as a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary" through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses. James Higgins, Golf Course Superintendent, has led the effort to obtain sanctuary status on this course and is being recognized for Environmental Stewardship by Audubon International. City Park Nine Golf Course is the 39th golf course in Colorado to receive the honor.
"City Park Nine Golf Course has shown a strong commitment to its environmental program. They are to be commended for their efforts to provide a sanctuary for wildlife on the golf course property," said Joellen Lampman, Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Programs Director.
"To reach certification, a course must demonstrate that they are maintaining a high degree of environmental quality in a number of areas," explained Lampman. These categories include: Environmental Planning, Wildlife & Habitat Management, Outreach and Education, Chemical Use Reduction and Safety, Water Conservation, and Water Quality Management.
Marty Heffernan, Executive Director of Community Services, is appreciative of staff and proud of the golf course's designation, "City Park Nine is a unique and remarkable golf course conveniently located in the heart of Fort Collins. The efforts of our staff have been appropriately recognized by this designation as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. The City is proud of City Park Nine and the team that maintains and manages it."
The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses, endorsed by the United States Golf Association, provides information and guidance to help golf courses preserve and enhance wildlife habitat, and protect natural resources. Golf courses from the United States, Africa, Australia, Canada, Central America, Europe, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia have also achieved certification in the program.
In addition to golf courses, Audubon International also provides programs for businesses, schools, communities, and new developments.

Grease on walls Oil, grease or grime on wall surfaces. Common in kitchens and garages. Grease on the walls causes poor paint adhesion, stains, or small "pinpoint" rust spots. Solution: Wash the surface with detergent and warm water, apply an isolating primer such as X-Terminator alkyd, and repaint with a coat of Kitchen and Bath acrylic enamel.
Cover paint trays with aluminium foil to make cleaning up afterwards a breeze.
Experiment with in-text advertising Most bloggers and website owners rely exclusively on AdSense or banner ads when it comes to advertising. One type of advertising that complements those quite well is in-text advertising. In-text ads are placed directly in the text of your site (for instance inside your articles or blog posts), and it's main advantage is the fact that it's contextual and integrated with your content. This will help to boost your earnings because users who might not see your AdSense ads will see the in-text ads, and vice-versa. If you want a recommendation of an in-text advertising network, check out Infolinks. They are the world leaders when it comes to in-text ads, meaning that you'll have plenty of advertisers to work with and reliable payments once you start making some money.

PAINT SAFELY Safety is a real issue; always read the manufacturer's labels before you begin decorating, and wear the necessary protective. Many of the solvents used to clean painting tools give off toxic fumes, so make sure that your work area is well ventilated. Mineral spirits, methylated spirits, and turpentine are dangerous if inhaled, swallowed, or allowed to come into contact with the skin. It is advisable not to eat, drink, or smoke while painting. Keep paint and cleaning agents away from children and pets. Wear a dust mask when working with powder colors. Since some paints and cleaning agents can irritate the skin, it is a good idea to wear protective gloves. If painting overhead, wear goggles and stand on a secure, level base.

the work which remained for him to do. He made many and
great efforts to obtain the neccessary (sic) funds for the
purpose. He was unsuccessful, and his failure was a great
grief. After his death, quite unexpectedly, the difficulties
in the way disappeared. In 1887 a new and substantial brick
structure was built. It is admirably adapted for the purpose
and provides for 100 boarders, and a large number of day
scholars. The Hall suffered severely from the depression of
1892 and the following year, and was closed for a year, when
it was reopened under a new management. It is now very
prosperous -- under a very efficient principal and corps of
teachers, its rooms are full, its curriculum extended, and
its future progress assured. Could the good bishop's eyes
look upon the institution now he would rejoice that what was
denied to him was given to another to accomplish. |
responded to Bishop Clarkson's invitation to assist in
the ceremonies. There was a large attendance of the clergy
of this and other dioceses. Crowds thronged the grounds and
the streets about. A procession which formed on Seventeenth
street, led by a band from Fort Omaha and two military
companies, and long drawn out by members of the vestries,
the clergy, and the bishops, marched through the multitude
to the site. Bishop Clarkson laid the stone with the usual
ceremonies. The procession reformed and proceeded to the
chapel where Bishop Whipple preached. The impressive feature
was the general interest of the people in the event. The
whole city, the clergy and people of all Christian
denominations, and citizens without regard to religious
relation, entered into the occasion with enthusiasm. |
sions and to places where a mission might be started. He
held services and preached in dwelling-houses, and
schoolhouses and courthouses, and houses of worship of
Christians of other names. Always, everywhere, to a handful
as to a multitude, he preached with the same mellifluous
eloquence, the same persuasive tones, the same high thought,
and with what effect upon the sensibilities, convictions and
life, some can never forget. |
Matthias's Day, 1885. During the interregnum the church
here had hardly held its own. A rigid trial of her strength
at that time disclosed weakness almost everywhere and there
came to many a sense of impotency. But the dawn of a new day
had begun to break, even before the first bishop's death.
His eye caught the rays, but it was not to see the full
light. If he could only have lived to see the bright
morning! The population of the state was about 400,000. It
soon became 1,250,000. Omaha has added 100,000 to her
people, and many towns have increased in equal proportion.
The growth of the church followed with equal steps. In the
western part new towns sprang up, and the call for the
church was imperative. The new bishop was almost as much a
pioneer as the old one. The work was pressed with great
vigor; every place was occupied; wherever a new town
appeared in the vast domain, the church came at once with
her offices and benedictions; and so it was that both by the
growth of the population and the energy in ministering to it
the development of work outran all ability to do it. It soon
appeared that all Bishop Worthington could do did not answer
the demand upon him. |
should become necessary. The entire expenditure was over
$60,000. At first the purpose was to commit the care and
administration of the institution directly to the
authorities of the diocese, but this was found
impracticable, and so it was placed in the charge of a board
of trustees with the bishop as visitor. It was, however,
devoted to education of youth under the influences of the
church by a fundamental declaration to that effect in the
documents of its organization. Under the name of the
Worthington Military Academy it was opened September 15,
1892, with an attendance of thirty-eight pupils. The
buildings were burned June 1, 1898, and the school
abandoned. |
Lutherans of Hooper, in conjunction with several
Lutherans of Arlington, extended a call to the Rev. E. J.
Frese, the Rev. A. W. Frese's brother, who accepted the call
and was installed as pastor at Hooper on July 11, 1869. |
district collected $114,000 for missionary and benevolent
purposes. The year 1894 was a year of hardship
for Nebraska, for there was a crop failure, due to a severe
drought. Nevertheless, during this year, a twenty-acre tract
of land at Seward was purchased with the intention of
founding a teachers' seminary. Members of St. John's
Lutheran Church at Seward gave much financial aid for the
purchase of the land, a part of which was divided into lots,
and sold, the proceeds being added to the building fund. The
erection of the first building of the institution was begun
that very summer. When the con- |

What a wonderful lesson in the midst of the vengeful hate-filled rivalry of byu vs Utah. There are good kids on both teams just working hard to execute a game plan. I think Utah may even have more RMs this year than the cougars. Too bad too many fans on both sides place such animosity on the opponent. Heck, it's just a game. The tragedy that Seni endured required a deep courage to overcome that most of us will never even get close to possessing.

I hope SI does a followup story at the end of his college career and apologizes
for how they made him look nationally in their article. Probably won't,

Seni's a funny, friendly kid off the field, but a
scrapper on it, and should make a much better name for himself through his play
than for his prior juvenile actions.

This story about a remarkable young man would uplift anyone who was in trouble whether mentally, physically or spiritually. And thank goodness for those who reached out to help him over this huge bump. It's a lesson of what happens when one makes a bad choice and how important repentance plays a part in the life of a less-than-perfect human being. The story gave me hope and brought much happiness to my heart. This world of ours is a toughie to get through sometimes but there will always be someone who cares enough to help, encourage and believe in us. This I firmly believe is there for us, all of us when we stay close to our Savior Jesus Christ..

@EdGrady: Get off your high horse and look for the good. Maybe you know someone
who is perfect and has never made a mistake. Jail or prison does not make a
person any better than when he/she went in; in fact, it has been proven that it
makes them worse. Ask those who have served time and you'll get the truth.
Yes, it was a juvenile mistake by someone who should have known
better, but because of tragic circumstances had his life in turmoil for a short
period of time. That doesn't forgive the mistake or crime, but it gives us
all hope for repentance and forgiveness. Forgiveness is the most difficult thing
for ALL of us to practice, even when we ourselves need it most!
to wiseoldwoman: There are a lot of other coaches (and teachers) who silently
make great contributions to their charges and go unnoticed. We should all take a
minute to thank those who have mentored us.
Thanks, Amy. Well said!!

field and the life you will live.

I very much loved this story and am happy this kid as seemingly turned his life
around. But I do take exception to the attempt to paint the crime he committed
as a "mistake". It was an armed robbery. They took a gun, pointed it at
people, threatened them and stole from them. It is incredibly serious and not
something to be considered a "mistake". Mistakes are things like using a
tablespoon of salt when the recipe calls for a teaspoon, this was a crime that
was knowingly and willingly committed, please quit trying to minimize it or
explain it away.
That said I hope this young man continues to work
toward redemption, it would be tragic if he does not capitalize on the obvious
breaks his staus as a football player have given to him. I highly doubt the
university of utah would have taken him as a student if he had just been some
guy that committed a similar crime and I hope he realizes he is being given
opportunities most of the rest of us never would have been given if we'd
done similar things.
