In addition, apart from chalet staff day off and change over day, enjoy a cooked "dish of the day" such as eggs and bacon (not a full English!).

DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES My New Braunfels hunting partner, Kelly Gantt, killed this Val Verde County desert buck during a two-day deer chase at Cotton Johnson's Pecos Valley lease.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The lucky horseshoe hood ornament wasn't powerful enough to override the lack of a flat tire, from which I draw my luck.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Kelly Gantt uses his rifle scope to scan the far hillside for movement. Before taking a shot, hunters in this region must consider carefully whether their fallen game is reachable without pain or injury.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The vistas are wide and rugged near this stretch of the Texas-Mexico border, where long shots are common.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES It's easy to feel insignificant among the sprawling landscape of this desert wilderness.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES December brings out the normally wild and wary deer of the Chihuahuan Desert. But this kind of terrain means they're not always easy to reach.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Kelly Gantt attaches a deer tag to the antlers of his buck before transporting the animal.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES To reach Cotton Johnson's deer lease you must first cross the magnificent Pecos River Bridge from which this photo was shot.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Cotton Johnson rarely enjoys his lease from the passenger seat. If he could figure out a way to lengthen the space between the steering wheel and driver's seat, he would switch places with Kelly.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Cotton Johnson draws a map for Kelly Gantt, who wanted to strike out on his own for the morning hunt on Day One.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Val Verde County is sheep and goat country. News of a marauding mountain lion travels quickly and results in immediate action.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES After years of hunting this lease I had never spotted this cave. Seminole Canyon is known for its Native American pictographs that decorate some of the rock walls of the region.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Fresh deer rubs such as this were spread all over the ranch and concentrated in certain places.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This was a rare moment when the Jeep was occupied and idle. Here Kelly Gantt and Cotton Johnson look for signs of life in the hills.

Renzo Piano Unveils Italian Museum of Science for Former Factory Site
MUSE is located on an 11-hectare brownfield industrial area adjacent to the Adige river and what used to be a Michelin tire factory. The factory was on the edge of the city center and effectively cut residents off from the river, and once the factory closed, the site became completely neglected. The new museum is part of a much larger redevelopment project that includes housing, leisure, commerce and office space and reconnects the area to the city center. The entire project is designed by Renzo Piano, and the first stage, which is the museum, will be completed in early 2012.
The 140 meter-long building features peaks and valleys that are inspired by the mountains surrounding Trento. Exhibits inside the museum will be specifically tied to ecosystems of the alpine and coastal environments of Northern Italy. A large lobby conceived as a covered piazza welcomes visitors to the museum. From there visitors can explore the exhibits or a large indoor tropical garden. The building is surrounded by a moat and appears to float on the water.

May be the previuos industrial estate was better merging with the nature& the surroundings as some of the existing structures stand testament to what I am commenting on.
Its as if these days Architects / Artists create something by Default & then go on to Develop there concepts & theories * brag about Eco Friendly environment Friendly Fundas – Sacriligous is all I will say Can any one tell me what kind of an effect this will have on a common man with such a beautiful surrounding just shock & awe is what I believe is factual.

Revenge Season 2, Episode 10, "Power," Recap: Uncovering Abuse and the Return of the Red Sharpie!
Revenge is sweet, much like the vat of lobster-flavored ice cream we are currently consuming. It's been weeks since we've checked in on the Hamptons' fleet of deranged murderers, and lord knows how many holiday yule logs we've consumed thanks to hiatus-induced depression.
Let's just say we're so desperate for Revenge that we'd actually make out with Declan's hemp necklace. That's how bad things have gotten. Lucky for us, our favorite show is back with a vengeance! Black hoodie, anyone?
The Sting
Last time we visited Victoria, she was ugly-crying (read: pretty-crying) all over her Loubies as a result of Daniel's new position at Grayson Global. This poetic mastermind has put himself straight into The Initiative's line of fire, and Victoria will stop at nothing to protect him. Yep, Baby V is so desperate to help out her Honey Boo Boo that she turns to Emily Thorne and her double infinity prison tattoo for help!
Victoria wants Emily to get back together with Daniel so he can rediscover his innocent, poetic ways, and Em is all over it. In fact, she and Aiden take a break from their hoodie-clad karate sessions to devise a cunning plan: They stage a public breakup at the same restaurant where Daniel and Conrad are having lunch, which means Danny Boy knows his ex-fiancée is single and ready to mingle! And by "mingle," we mean girlfriend is poised for more scrapbooking sessions. Sob, memories.
Speaking of Daniel, as usual we are so worried. Not only is this delicate flower completely evil, he's an unwitting pawn of The Initiative. Tragically, Helen's wormed her way into Daniel's heaving bosom by revealing that Conrad has even more secret investments hidden at Grayson Global, so Daniel turns to Nolan for help. Of course, little does Daniel know that he's handing Nolan direct access to the Grayson Global mainframe...
The Fakeup
Emily's plan is simple: She'll worm her way back into Spaniel's heart by feeding him Love Potion No. 9 (aka caviar), while simultaneously revenging all over the place. This week, Emily has her red Sharpie aimed at Robert Barnes — the judge who was instrumental in convicting David Clarke. Nowadays, Judge Barnes is trying to earn a spot on the Supreme Court, while his wife, Patricia, heads up The Liberty Project, an organization that supports falsely convicted criminals. How ironic!
As you might expect, Emily comes out guns blazing. First, she accidentally-on-purpose insults Judge Barnes by bringing up James Palmer, the clerk who supposedly had David's back and was subsequently killed. Then, Em hits up The Liberty Project's gala at Grayson Mansion after realizing that it was actually Patricia who was David's biggest supporter. And emotional Emily convinces Patty to expose Judge Barnes, so she immediately takes the podium and reveals that the judge knew David was convicted by a tainted jury. Then girlfriend unveils her bruised arms and accuses her hubby of abusing her! Sigh, just a typical Grayson Global party. Basically, this is the First Wives Club all over again, but with way more Cristal.
All in all, Emily has a great day of revenging, and to top it off Daniel stops by for a brief makeout session. OMG, it's finally happening, people! Somewhere, the ghost of Sammy the Dog is crying. But let's talk about Aiden. Now that Nolan's hacked into Grayson Global, Aiden has a major in with The Initiative. In fact, he's able to get ahold of Helen herself, and they arrange a meet 'n' greet at some creepy warehouse. So, what do we learn? Aiden's sister is actually alive, and if he cooperates, he might get to see her!
The Fugitive
Time to check in on Declan and Jack — aka our favorite seamen. The Porter brothers are in big-time trouble now that they've sold The Stowaway to a pair of grifter murderers, but the real problem? Kenny and Nate are using the bar as a drug front.
Here's what goes down: Declan finds a mysterious packet of drugs in Nate's belongings, while simultaneously spilling coffee beans all over the floor. Obviously, something needs to be done, so Jack calls up his policeman friend, Eddie — because apparently there are police in Montauk. Who knew?
Unfortunately, Eddie and his drug-sniffing puppy end up finding Nate's stash in The Amanda — not to be confused with Jack's fiancée, Amanda — and they promptly try to arrest Declan. As you might expect, Jack takes the fall for his little brother and gets hauled to jail, where he'll presumably spend his days stringing up necklaces made of old sea glass (it's his hobby, just go with it). By the way, we're shaking our heads at you, Declan. Why must you fail at everything other than wearing conch shells?
In other news, Marco is still in nerd-love with Nolan, and gifts him some geeky programming chip as a token of his affection. Which will apparently solve all of Nolan's legal problems and help him take control of Nolcorp. Or something. Look, if we don't understand the complicated rules of Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons, we certainly don't understand Marco's mysterious hard drive.
What did you think of tonight's episode of Revenge? Was it a nice return to our favorite shoreside drama or did it fall short, like all of Declan's plans? Weigh in below!

Court's Swearing Decision Goes In Favor Of N.Y. Man
By editor
Originally published on Fri February 8, 2013 12:28 pm
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep, with a story of the power of words. Trevis D. Baker swore at a cop in Rochester. Police arrested him, but New York State's highest court threw out the charges. He has a First Amendment right to swear, so long as it's not a challenge to fight. Because the arrest was invalid, the court disallowed a search police conducted afterward.
So Mr. Baker walks away with freedom of speech, and also free of charges that he possessed 25 bags of crack cocaine. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Come back tomorrow and win more prizes!
Here's something to cheer you up – the Terrifyingly Bad Luck Bonus!Congratulations! You've won
A strange feeling nagged Trudy, a curious Ixi, for days. A forewarning of doom perhaps, she thought. Soon after, on one of her long, solitary walks that spanned the length and breadth of Neopia, something strange happened. She heard an unusual rustle in the bushes. Curious, she took a peek. Hidden among the bushes was a slot machine! 'Ka-ching, ka-ching,' it seemed to whisper. Trudy hesitated only for a moment before she succumbed to its call. She pressed the button on the machine, unsure of what she may unleash. To her amazement, she was awarded Neopoints. Trudy fell to the ground and cried with joy. She could finally afford a fancy frock for the ball.
From then on, Trudy took more walks, hoping luck would smile upon her again. And it did. She discovered she could play the machine once every day to win prizes. With each consecutive day, the number of Neopoints awarded increased. Occasionally, the machine was extra generous and gave her a Gift Box. On the 25th day of playing, she won a phenomenal number of Neopoints!
After 25 days, things changed, leaving Trudy puzzled. This FAQ, helped her make sense of everything, though.

With innovative build techniques and eye-popping body shapes, Dean has always stood out in the world of musical instruments. This innovation can easily be traced back to the founder of the company, Dean Zalinsky. A true original, he founded Dean on the idea that your instrument should not only sound the best, it should look the best as well. Nearly 40 years later, Dean continues to craft some of the most impressive instruments on the planet.
Since the beginning, Dean has been a company that puts the artist first, which is why so many fantastic performers have played Dean instruments throughout the years. Legendary guitarists like Dimebag Darrel, Dave Mustaine, and Michael Schenker, as well as up and comers like Ashley Purdy, Laura Wilde, and Jacky Vincent, have all hit the stage with Dean instruments during their careers, inspiring legions of fans to do the same.

- Release Date:
- March 27, 2012

- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Several individual student-athletes from Hilbert College appear in the NCAA Division III national rankings after the first few weeks of their respective spring seasons while the men's volleyball season winds down.
Senior Halsey Baker (Scio, NY/Scio) {in photo to right} sits at the number one rank in Doubles Per Game for softball with her 1.14 average holding the top slot out of the 200 athletes ranked, in games played through March 25. The Hilbert softball team (2-5) is ranked 14th with their .369 Batting Average through seven games.
Freshman Ryan Ratajczak (Orchard Park, NY) continues deep into the men's volleyball season with his top ranking in Digs Per Set. The freshman libero holds onto the 9th position with 2.82 digs per set helping to propel the Hilbert Team to a number fifteen ranking in Digs Per Set (10.14 dps). Another first year player, Stephen Phillips (Penfield, NY) touches the ball during every Hawk possession. His 7.18 Assists Per Set ranks him at the 30th spot out of the 50 athletes listed. And Hilbert's sophomore outside hitter, Adam Weaver, is credited with 3.26 Kills Per Set which ranks him at number twenty-four. The 6-20 Hawks have one weekend left in their season so with consistent play, these three men may finish their season retaining a top spot in the men's volleyball stats.
Senior Jim Pernick holds onto two slots in the top 30 for the Hawks baseball team. The Tonawanda, NY product holds a .581 On Base Average (# 17) while his .486 Batting Average places him at number 27 in Division III. Senior Nick Sherman (Lancaster, NY) averages 11.74 Strikeouts Per Nine Innings, good for a 19th rank and he just makes the cut with a 49th rank (out of 50) with Complete Games thrown at 2.0 for the 4-8 Hawks. Sophomore first baseman Frank Mancuso (Cheektowaga, NY) is ranked 20th in the Base on Balls category with 1.0. Finally, senior Chris Hoak (Hamburg, NY) is ranked 34th in the Toughest To Strike Out category.
The Hilbert College men's lacrosse team has earned three nods in the top 30 slots after their 1-3 start. Their highest ranking is number thirteen with 41.5 Ground Balls Per Game (out of the 185 teams ranked). Following right behind in the fourteenth slot is a team average of 8.25 in Assists Per Game. The Hawks' 19.5 Points Per Game ranks them at number twenty-eight after two weeks of competition.

UFC: Carlos Condit 'I fought the fight against Hendricks that I wish I had fought against GSP' - Bloody Elbow
Stephie Daniels: With the ruleset as it stands right now, a great deal of emphasis is placed on takedowns, regardless of how effective they are, or how much or how little damage is achieved after securing one. Hendricks scored several takedowns on you, but wasn't able to achieve much with them. What are your thoughts on this, and do you think a change in the current criteria is in order?
Carlos Condit: I think takedowns are important, but I agree, it's what you do with them that counts. If you can use the takedown to control the fight, then that can be scored as octagon control. However, if you're taking somebody down, and not doing much with it, and if the guy gets right back up, then I think that stand-ups and escapes should also carry some weight in the judge's eyes.
SD: When they announced the decision, there was an obvious look of disappointment on your face. Was that because you felt the decision should have gone your way?
CC: You know, I was expecting them to announce Johny's name, but I had a little glimmer of hope that I may have gotten one of those first two rounds on the judge's score cards. The disappointed look wasn't toward the judges or anything about the decision. It was more about my performance. I was just disappointed in myself, more than anything.
SD: I spoke with Greg Jackson yesterday, and he told me he was pleased with your overall performance, especially in that Johny couldn't keep you down or make his takedowns effective. Keeping that in mind, where do you go back in your training to correct whatever problems you personally see in yourself?
CC: We can talk about the scoring system and judging, but we all know the state of things right now, and wrestling is a very important thing, and makes a big impact on decisions, and I think it should. It's definitely a big part of mixed martial arts, so basically what I need to do is go and work on my wrestling.
I've been doing it, but I think I need to do more intense training in that aspect of my game. While I'm in training camp, I don't do a whole lot of live wrestling, because I feel like that's where most of my injuries occur. I need to be able to make it to the fight, so I drill a lot and do a lot of situational wrestling, but I think now that I don't have anything on the books, and I've got a little bit of time, I really need to go and hammer that out to work intensively on my wrestling.
SD: Do you get that additional wrestling through Jacksons or through another camp?
CC: The cool thing about Jacksons is that we have a ton of resources. We've got guys coming in from all over the world. Right now we have about five or six guys from Southern Russia that are incredible wrestlers. We also have Izzy Martinez, who is Jon Jones wrestling coach. I definitely have the resources at Jacksons. I just need to utilize them.
SD: Did you watch the Diaz / GSP fight, and if so, what did you think of it?
CC: Yeah, I watched most of that fight. It went very much as I expected it to go. It was a little bit lackluster, nothing to write home about. Georges is very good at what he does, but a lot of his fights aren't really very exciting.
SD: You seemed to let your hands go much earlier in your fight with Hendricks than you did with St. Pierre. Do you think if you had fought as aggressively then as you did this time, you might have beaten Georges?
CC: I fought the fight against Hendricks that I wish I had fought against GSP, honestly, with the stand-ups and the striking and everything. You know what? With Georges, you've got to get in there and do what you have to do to win. I don't care how you win. That's from a fighter's perspective. You've got to get in there and win the fight.
Yeah, I put on an exciting show in my last one, but I didn't get the number one contender's spot. I don't get a title fight. I don't get the things that come along with that, the bigger paydays and that sort of thing. Exciting or not exciting, you've got to win fights. I like to put on a show and do it in exciting fashion, but I can't knock Georges for his style at all.
SD: You say that you like to put on exciting fights, and lots of other athletes have voiced the same sentiment, but is there really a conscious effort or part of your gameplan to do that, or does it come down to whether a person's instincts tell them to go for broke or to play it safe?
CC: I think for me, personally, it's just part of my makeup. I think a big part of the reason why my fights tend to be so exciting is because I'm not the most ... well, you know a lot of the guys I fight are honestly better than I am. I just want it more. I have heart, and I have a chin and I love to fight. I think that formula, or combination of things just makes for exciting fights.

- Introductory notes to a grammar of Cahuilla : [to appear in Linguistic Studies offered to Joseph Greenberg on the occasion of his 60th birthday] (1976)
- These notes grew out of my preoccupation with writing a grammar of a particular language, Cahuilla, which is spoken in Southern California and belongs to the Uto-Aztecan family. [...] The Introduction to the Grammar as a whole – of which two sections are reproduced here in a modified version – tries to integrate the synoptic views of the different chapters into a series of comprehensive statements. The statements cluster around two topics: 1. A presentation of Cahuilla as a type of language. 2. Remarks on writing a grammar.

- Descriptivity in the domain of body-part terms (1976)
- In an earlier paper, I proposed a system for evaluating the relative descriptivity of lexical items in a consistent manner in terms of the interrelations of three metrics. The first of these, including five possible degrees of descriptivity, is based on the premise that the sum of the meaningful parts of a given form is or is not equal to the meaning of the whole. The second, also composed of five degrees, is based on paraphrase-term relations in which the logical quantifiers: all, some and no, are applied to the terms of the paraphrase in one test and to the meaningful parts of the term (linguistic form) in the reversibility test. Both tests are applied in the form of logical propositions. The third metric, with three degrees, deals with the relative explicitness of the meaningful parts of a given form: explicit, implicit or neither. […] This system was then tested in a pilot study involving the fairly limited and semantically homogeneous lexical domain of body-part terms in a specific language, Finnish. The purpose of the present paper is to subject comparable data from other languages to the same kind of analysis and compare the results in order to ascertain whether the generalizations arrived at with the Finnish data also hold for the other languages or, more specifically, which of these generalizations are more or less universal and which language or language-type specific? The additional languages to be examined here are: French, German, Ewe, Maasai and Swahili.
- 23
- Determination: a universal dimension for inter-language comparison : (preliminary version) (1976)
- The basic idea I want to develop and to substantiate in this paper consists in replacing – where necessary – the traditional concept of linguistic category or linguistic relation understood as 'things', as reified hypostases, by the more dynamic concept of dimension. A dimension of language structure is not coterminous with one single category or relation but, instead, accommodates several of them. It corresponds to certain well circumscribed purposive functions of linguistic activity as well as to certain definite principles and techniques for satisfying these functions. The true universals of language are represented by these dimensions, principles, and techniques which constitute the true basis for non-historical inter-language comparison. The categories and relations used in grammar are condensations – hypostases as it were – of such dimensions, principles, and techniques. Elsewhere I have outlined the theory which I want to test here in a case study.
- 24
- Measuring nominal descriptivity (1976)
- Using Ultan's theory of descriptivity grading as a starting point, I will attempt to capture this differential utility in terms of [...] criteria of literalness, explicitness and syntactic complexity. I will first briefly present his System and investigate some generalizations which he has proposed on the basis of his study of body part terminologies in numerous languages. I will apply his theory to nouns in this and four other semantic domains, in three North American Indian languages. I will test his generalizations and propose some new ones. I will then present an alternative system of descriptivity grading and compare the results of its application with those of Ultan's system. In the final section I will suggest another methodology for quantification. An appendix at the end of the paper lists all of the descriptive lexical items mentioned, graded according to both systems.
- 26
- Zum Problem der Deskriptivität am Beispiel deutscher Verbalderivation (1976)
- Eine ausführliche Analyse der Prinzipien der etikettierenden und der deskriptiven Benennung findet sich in Seiler 1975 a. [...] Wesentlich ist; daß der Term gegenüber der Paraphrase; die vermittels der Proposition, zu der er in Beziehung steht, formuliert werden kann (Lehrer = einer, der lehrt), eine Bedeutungsverengung erfährt, die in diesem Falle durch eine zusätzliche semantische Komponente 'professionell' oder 'habituell' o.ä. erfaßt werden kann. Der deskriptiven Benennung, auch charakterisierbar als "Benennen durch Aussagen", dienen diverse sprachliche Mittel oder Techniken wie Derivation, Komposition (mit der Subtechnik der Inkorporation), Absolutivbildung usw. Nicht alle Techniken kommen in jeder Sprache zur Anwendung und auch in den Sprachen, in denen sie zur Anwendung gelangen, ist diese in vielen Fällen auf bestimmte morpho-syntaktische Bereiche beschränkt. [...] Betrachten wir nun unter diesem Gesichtspunkt der Distribution deskriptiver Techniken die Verteilung von Komposition und Derivation im Deutschen. [...] Gegenstand der folgenden Überlegungen soll […] die verbale Wortbildung, und zwar im Vergleich zur nominalen, sein.

Leave it to President Obama to cunningly distract the country from the scandals that plagued his administration for the past year with wanting to strike a sovereign country because its tyrannical leader has gassed his own people.
This would be the same man who opposed the Iraq war and former President Bush for going after another murderous tyrant who gassed thousands of Kurds. His excuse to invade Syria over the use of gas that killed 1,400 or more people is hypocritical at best.
To add insult to injury, Secretary of State John Kerry goes public with a great speech to invade another country, telling we the people that we should jump on board. This is the same man who went before Congress during the Vietnam War and charged that our military was committing atrocities in that country without providing evidence. He is the same man who was in that country for three months and put himself up for various medals and then when he returned to the U.S. turned protester against said war and had the audacity to throw his medals over the White House fence in protest. As a 100 percent disabled Marine Vietnam veteran, it's my opinion that Kerry is a disgrace and is the wrong person to tell the American people that we should get involved in another country's civil war.
As for President Obama, he has come out and placed blame on Congress and the world for making the red line. He said that he was simply relating to it as if his words had no consequences; nothing like accepting responsibility for your actions.

You can even find replacement parts for your older vacuums so you can get them running to their optimal performance levels soon. It is recommended that you choose a vacuum based on your cleaning frequency, the style that suits your vacuuming needs, and any special features that you are seeking. Studies have proved that living in a clean home can reduce stress levels considerably. Buy vacuums online and tackle the dirt in your home effectively.
Uprights, canisters, small stick vac or central vacuums, the choice is yours. Uprights have more maneuverability than canisters, spinning brushes make great accessories for carpet cleaning, cordless vacs are great for cleaning but can they last through your vacuuming time?

Major updates to the server code are winding down. Many changes in the last 4 weeks have been behind-the-scenes bug fixes and small patches. There were still more changes as a result of adding homing beacon vulnerability to aliens back in June, as well as a few other unrelated fixes and minor features. Meanwhile, here are the most notable changes since the last update:

Hello, Colonist! I'm sorry if you were misled by the gloriously habitable planet stories that no doubt led you here. Sadly, the planet doesn't seem to exist. Or, maybe we've been unlucky and just haven't found it yet. But, anyway, we can always use a few more humans out here. So, Welcome! I hope you brought plenty of supplies...
Welcome to the Lost Raven MMO.
So, what is it? It's a beta-test version of the complete server engine for an upcoming sandbox mmo. The main thing missing is the graphical client, but the game is already completely playable in text mode using a telnet client. That lets us play-test the game server before the game client is in a usable state. The system hosting this game server is configured to support a single realm large enough for several hundred concurrent players and has been tested to handle 1600 game transactions per second.
I'm currently building the ship models. Here are shots of two of the designs:
A brief overview of the game...
This is a "low-intensity" PVP space-based sandbox mmo game. It's not about fighting all the time. The PVP is 99%+ military preparation, plotting, espionage, and even politics; with actual PVP battles infrequent. As the great military strategist, Sun Tzu, said; "Every battle is either won or lost before the fighting even begins." You'll come to see that Sun Tzu's advice holds true in space as well.
No hostile NPC's, no high-security sectors
It's ALL 'null-sec', as they say in some other game. There is no 'high security' space. There ARE sectors with neutral drones that will react to any open-space ship attacks. But neutral drones provide very limited protection. Not only can they be killed by other players, they can also be easily recruited into the fleets of the would-be attackers. They're neutral and can be 'salvaged' by reprogramming and repainting, and thereby returned to working condition -- as new units of any player's fleet. When hiding under neutrals, don't ignore this possibility -- that they can be cheaply drafted by a completely pennyless player who happens to already have more drones than the neutral fleet. That is, a player can simply sell enough of his drones to raise the cash to salvage the neutrals -- far cheaper than killing them.
Lastly, there are Alien ships throughout the galaxy. They are easy to identify since they have unusual names that start and end with special characters (-,~,+,*), unlike player names which always start with a letter. Aliens will not deliberately provoke or attack you. However, they do drop cash loot when killed, just like players. Also like players, they must be at or above your own level in order for you to be awarded honor, XP, and loot when you destroy one.
New player protections
Each new player starts out with a 90% stealth rating. This makes it very hard to see, target, and attack them. This stealth benefits small ships as well as new players. If you use up all of your forces in battle, you reacquire your original 90% stealth rating.
The more forces you accumulate, the less effective this natural stealth (ship cloaking) becomes. You can offset that decline in stealth by equipping your starship with stealth panels. and always retain a high level of stealth, regardless of wealth. Or, you can choose to invest in...
Other Ship Enhancing Devices
You can buy devices that increase your effectiveness in battle. Or, you can buy equipment that lets you move ports -- and even planets -- from one starsystem to another. There are also devices that partially offset stealth and let you attack stealthed starships more effectively. Each time you level up, you become eligible to install an additional device, up to the level cap of 20.
But you must carefully consider the mix of devices that you install on your starship. Once you attach a device to your ship, it cannot be removed. Well, not without cracking the entire hull and destroying everything inside. And that would be very expensive. If, Heaven forbid, your starship were to be destroyed, you would only lose the installed equipment and the microbots and drones actually onboard. Your starbases, bunkers, and deployed drones throughout the Universe would be unaffected.
A few pointers
Here are a few quick tips on the mechanics of being a commodity trader in deep space:
That's about all I can tell you about surviving here. Use the ? command on your starship console to display the operational capabilities of your ship.
You look like a sharp kid. I'm sure *cough* you'll do just fine.
Good Luck!
This realm hosts a complete galaxy and is free-to-play. You can play up to 4 characters. There is no intrusive registration; just pick a name and password and start to play.
The persistent telnet game runs on port 23. That game is intended to be permanent and always available via telnet, barring some major problem causing a game reset.
In addition to the work on ship models, quite a few other game objects are in development. Here are three untextured device models; a machine shop, a smelter, and a distillery...
...and my first planets...
History...Below is the only remaining digital screenshot that I have from Starship Traders (SST), the main ancestor of the new game. The visible objects are:
There were no pre-built art assets in the game; all of this was dynamically generated by the OpenGL-based client at a scalding 15.3 frames per second on some primitive piece of hardware, as we can see in the bottom right corner. This was circa 2001, I believe.
Ancient History...Starship Traders was based on The Last Resort (1999). TLR, in turn, was based on Tsarwars, a complete rewrite of Czarwars in the C language. Tsarwars came online in 1996 as the first multiuser, networked variant. Tsarwars was modelled on a stand-alone bulletin board game named Czarwars (1986). Czarwars was a multiplayer, but not a multiuser game. That is, many could play in the same universe, but only one at a time.
Czarwars was inspired by Trade Wars 2, Risk, and Star Trader, and it was the first game in my series. Czarwars was written in Microsoft QuickBASIC.
After Starship Traders came Space Tyrant (2005) and Currency Traders (written in 2011 but never released). Space Tyrant was built as a completely new software architecture designed to be massively multiplayer and was the first complete rewrite since Tsarwars.
Back to the present...The new game, the Lost Raven MMO, is built on the C language codebase of Currency Traders. The MMO has been loosely planned since the redesign in 2005 and the MMO server has been under active development since February, 2014.
The decisions to use Blender and the Godot Game Engine were made in late February, 2015, and work on the art assets began immediately thereafter.

Comments about Corral Boots Corral Women's Vintage Lizard Overlay Western Boots:
These boots are everything I hoped for and more! They are gorgeous, the leather is very soft and I get compliments everytime I wear them. They look great with a dress or with jeans. The only thing is when I first got them they were really tight and hard to get my foot in (I almost panicked and thought I should have ordered a half size bigger -- I ordered true to size.) However, within 10 minutes the leather was already loosening up and they feel great. I can't wait until they are fully broken in!
