You might see content mismatch warnings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager when content validation runs and determines that there is a discrepancy between the expected list of packages in WMI on the distribution point and the packages in the content library. In this scenario, the distribution point status goes into a warning state and the status message returned by the distribution point is listed in the Details pane when you view the status of the distribution point in the Monitoring workspace, Distribution Point Configuration Status node.
You can see an example of this scenario in the following screenshot where a distribution point has a Warning state and there is a status message in the Details tab in the Details pane that shows there was a failure to retrieve the package list.
Note: There is currently a known issue in the current release where the warning might not always clear to return the distribution point status back to a success state. We hope to address this issue in a future release.
To determine which package is causing this mismatch, review the smsdpmon.log file on the distribution point.
Using the CMTrace log file tool, the following snapshot shows the corresponding smsdpmon.log entry:
Notice the log entries:
CContentDefinition::LibraryPackagesWmi: The package data in WMI is not consistent to PkgLib CContentDefinition::LibraryPackagesWmi: Package CCA0000A can't be found in PkgLib
The simplest way to determine the missing package is to view the Content Status in the Monitoring workspace and search for the package ID by using the search field. After you have found the package ID, you can determine the name of the software.
If the package is not on the site, you must remove the package from WMI on the distribution point. The namespace to connect to is root\sccmdp. The class that contains the list of packages expected is SMS_PackagesInContLib. The simplest way to find the package and remove it from WMI is to run a query on the distribution point such as the following, and then delete the object that is returned.
select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib Where PackageID = 'CCB00002'
select * from SMS_PackagesInContLib Where PackageID = 'CCB00002'
Note: Ensure that you replace the CCB00002 with your own package ID
If the package is on the site, you can update the content on the distribution point to clear the Warning state.
To update the content on the distribution point for applications:
The next time content validation occurs, the warning is cleared.
To update the content on the distribution point for packages:
The next time content validation runs, the warning is cleared.
For more information about managing the content library in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, see Content Management in Configuration Manager in the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Documentation Library.

Nice infomation..
I've got the error, but no package ID...
Start to evaluate ...
CContentDefinition::LibraryPackagesWmi: The package data in WMI is not consistent to PkgLib
CContentDefinition::LibraryPackagesWmi failed; 0x80004005
Start to evaluate all packages ...
How do I figure out which is the problem package?
@Ben Fisher
Ben, there isn't a simple answer to this. Its best to post your question in our community forums. social.technet.microsoft.com/.../threads
Thx for this helpful article.
>>To determine which package is causing this mismatch, review the smsdpmon.log file on the distribution point.<<
Is there any way to increase the logfile size for the smsdpmon.log? It is overwritten multiple times during content validation.
I have exactly the same issue as Ben Fisher, no PackageID warning in smsdpmon.log
I have similar issue. Package missing in PkgLib is a task sequence package. How can i redistribute it? Or should i just remove it from WMI?
Hi, similar isssue here, but packade id missing in pkglib is a task sequence package. Ho do i redistribute ts package? Or should i just remove it from WMI on distribution point?
after getting successful package stars to redistribute automatically ........
We experienced the exact same problem at a customer.
I made a script to automate the removal of the invalid instances (those of which the package does not exist in the console anymore) in WMI on all distribution points. You can download it from gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Powershell-script-to-fix-81dc4e69
I hope this helps.
Hi,With reference to the following:"Note: There is currently a known issue in the current release where the warning might not always clear to return the distribution point status back to a success state. We hope to address this issue in a future release."Has this been addressed? - As I'm still having the issue under SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3.Thanks,Lee
I'm still having this issue in SCCM 2012 R2 CU1. I've deleted the package from WMI on the Primary server and just hoping the Warnings will go away once the DP's run content validation. There was no specified directions to get the status to display correctly
once you've removed the package from WMI, so here's to hoping content validation clears it up.
With reference to the link
We have a similar issue in our production Environment as well. Since there are more packages in the difference list we have to redistribute them over WAN which will take a toll . Is there any script available which can be used to manually enter the package
ID to the WMI DB so that we can save the load on the WAN link.
Hello...Thanks for the great entry!!
On the 'Content Validation' tab of the DP properties it warns "A high priority value might increase the CPU usage and disk activity.......".
1. Can anyone please describe step by step what happens in the background of content validation?
2. What are the impacts to the site server? MP? Network?
Thank you in advance!
Thank you for the information - That helped in resolving one of my issues... Keep Sharing..
Ben and Roel, did you ever get to the bottom of the problem as I have exactly the same issue - no package ID

Tree Climbing Cars
While strolling through the internet, you sometimes stumble upon stuff which you like, and sometimes stuff which you really like. This video, brought to my attention by one of my colleagues, is something which I really, really like.
Even before I got it translated by a Japanese-speaking friend, the radiant smiles of the children and the cool setup were fascinating. OK, it seems to be sponsored by a big car company, but the initiators of this project appear to not only be asking what the car of the future will look like. They want to provoke the children's creativity and to show them that it is their ideas that can transform anything into anything. And i think they demonstrate this nicely by transforming a car into an instrument, using self-recorded sounds and the help of Max, Ableton Live and some sensors – and it seems to have been a lot of fun too :)
Now these children are telling us that in the future, cars might be their friends or climb trees, or many other things – there are no limits to your imagination. I think that this is a great message to teach.

ive only heard everything is fire by these guys. i should probably change that
Digging: Gorgoroth - Under the Sign of Hell
I'm not sure where I stand on that album but I think I like this more than that
everything is fire>this>destroyers>debut for me so far
Album Rating: 4.5^^ I'd agree. Everything is Fire has that edge.
I made a medley of all the songs from their first album and turned into a 30 minute song and its really pretty rad. If anyone wants to listen to it you can go here:
Sorry to plug it in the thread, but I made a list and no one replied to it, and I just wanna hear what people think
Album Rating: 4.5Idk, there's still some songs on Destroyers I'm completely obsessed with though, like Burning Skies, Cold Becoming, and Omens.
So far Confronting Entropy is my most played track
those r prob all the best songs on destroyers. sometimes that album just gets so bland and iffy, but the great cuts def bring it up
Album Rating: 4.0the imperious weak is some intense shit
Album Rating: 4.5But Clutching Revulsion is nothing short of amaaaazing
Album Rating: 4.5@Nexus: agreeed
Album Rating: 4.5I didn't neg, I only give feedback.
Album Rating: 4.5fair enough. twas good feedback.
Album Rating: 4.5I'd edge this over EiF and its definitely better than Destroyers.
nah not better than eif
Album Rating: 4.0This is prob a 3 actually.
its closer to a 3.5, destroyers is a 3
Album Rating: 4.0lolz
Album Rating: 4.0Or I could just be lying.
Digging: Ringo Deathstarr - Pure Mood
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffThis won't beat Gorguts for me this year, but it's right behind it. Might be the best Ulcerate album though. Don't know if I'm willing to put it completely ahead of Everything is Fire yet.
Digging: Paysage d'Hiver - Kerker
Bands: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Mobile Advertising Trends for 2014
September 19, 2013:
Luke Anderson, Marketing Specialist
Branding and Marketing Strategies
Marketers have seen a drastic change of where dollars are spent when it comes to online advertising. According to AdvertisingAge, mobile ad spending will hit
$8 billion
in 2013. Considering the amount of money being spent, and the variety of ways marketers can reach their audiences, do you have a sound mobile strategy?
We are bombarded with ads on a daily basis. And that trend is only going to accelerate. Remember when there were only a few ads on Facebook? An ad here and there before YouTube videos? Some of these ads are "skippable," but they are becoming more and more unavoidable.
Here are some eye-opening statistics according to
Mobile Fact Pack
that show just how fast mobile is growing:
U.S. mobile ad spending is projected to hit $11.8 billion in 2014
There was a 75% growth in U.S. mobile ad spending for 2013
Before year's end, mobile ads will account for more than 50% of Facebook's revenue; Google's projected mobile ad revenue is $4 billion
In 2013, there were 123.1 million U.S. tablet users (projected 143.2 million in 2014)
It makes sense that advertisers are spending so much in the mobile space. More than 20% of American cell phone owners use phones as their primary way of accessing the Internet, according to a
Pew Internet & American Life Project study
. Two in three cell phone owners use them to surf the Web and check email, double the amount from 2009. Perhaps most interestingly, the biggest jump in online phone owners in the past year was among 50 to 64-year-olds.
So what does it all mean? The phone (and tablet) is becoming the primary, not secondary, source of surfing the Web, checking email and performing local searches.
Financial and healthcare marketers need to adjust to this fast-moving trend or risk getting lost in the shuffle. With the growing market comes the increased opportunity to target specific audiences and reach them at the most opportune moment.
Here are some things to think about regarding mobile advertising as 2014 approaches.
Start with the insights
. Consider how your audience is using (or will use) mobile devices. Try to identify patterns and behavior. Are they using mobile for personal expenses? Social media? Local searches? Email? Use that insight to guide your overall strategy.
Use mobile to deliver the right message at the right time
. Your audience expects mobile messages to be more tailored and customized compared to other advertising channels. Almost everything that is consumed on a smartphone relates to some sort of personal experience or interest. Segmenting your audience and targeting them in specific ways is crucial. Keep in mind consumers don't generally like mobile ads unless they offer something that has an immediate action (i.e. a Tweet to share, giveaways or videos).
Mobile lifestyles are changing how consumers search.
As mentioned earlier, some consumers are opting to make their mobile device the primary means of search, whether the need is immediate or not. Immediate needs might include using a phone to find the closest bank, gas station or restaurant. However, now people are starting to conduct even leisurely searches from their phone. Why get up from the couch to turn on a PC or laptop?
Mobile will overtake traditional PC advertising
. While using traditional online advertising is certainly still effective, it is predicted to peak in 2014
according to eMarketer
. Where will those extra PC ad dollars go? You guessed it: mobile. Ads designed intelligently for mobile can make a big difference, despite size and functionality restrictions.
As Michael Learmonth, digital editor of AdAge says "By the end of the year, you can imagine a new divide emerging: the brands that have successfully made the transition to mobile, and those that haven't. Which side will you be on?"

2000 Dodge Dakota • V8 4WD Automatic • 160,000 miles
Dodge Dakota 2000, 4.7L, 4WD, New Alternator and New Battery. Having difficulty starting and keeping running. Feedback on radio is like electrical chirping, and when driving Volt meter goes all the way right to 18 volts, and it returns to normal in idle. Wondering if I got a bad alternator? Any thoughts. Currently will not start without a jump. Takes several tries before it stays running.
July 22, 2011.
July 22, 2011.
Was your other alternator making the volt meter go that high?Why did you change it?Have you had the battery tested?Did you make sure the battery cables are clean and tight?Sounds like it could be a bad alternator.
Thanks for the response. Tested the last alternator and it came up bad, but was not doing the noise thing, or any other behaviors like this. New battery and connections are tight. Last battery was bad after the alternator change. (Wal mart battery - hate them!) The Volt Meter thing is new before and after battery switch out.
Yeah iam not a fan of the walmart batteries havent had much luck with them so you didnt have them test the new alternator before you left the store?I always do that way I dont run into problems with installing a bad new alternator. If the old one wasnt doing any of the things this one is and everything is hooked up correctly then I would say bad alternator. Let me know what you find.
Well, I got the alternator at Auto Zone, and it said made in Malaysia. Having been to Malaysia that did not instill me with a lot of confidence. Mfg. Standards are not exactly great (not tiajuana bad, but not great). I will pull it and go back to auto zone and throw a tantrum. We'll see if that will get me a new one. Thanks for the input.
Have them test it they will give you another one its under warranty also have them test the replacement one. Let me know how it goes.
How do i properly remove the alternator? Step by step please, I'm kind of slow.

The PlayStation 4 can play PlayStation 2 games. The same special Battlefront bundle that includes Super Star Wars also includes Star Wars: Racer Revenge, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, not as ports, but running as emulated PS2 games (in this case, potentially at higher resolutions).

Sony confirmed as much curtly, saying, "We are working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the current generation. We have nothing further to comment at this point in time."

If Sony can draw on the 1,850 PS2 games, it could put the Xbox One's backward compatibility to shame. Though it also remains to be seen -- and we seem far out from an answer -- if, say, this just means another store section opening up with which to buy things or if you can load up the new console with old PS2 discs.

On its surface, Michigan doesn't appear to stand out from the crowd of survival horror games that infested the PlayStation 2. A mysterious virus is turning everybody into monsters and you have to fight to stay alive. However, this is a Grasshopper Manufacture title, a studio that likes to do things a bit differently.

Let's start with the name. Michigan doesn't take place in Michigan; all the action here is in Chicago. The title comes from Lake Michigan, where a plane crashed and appeared to start the outbreak. The game was never available for sale in Michigan, Chicago or any other place in the USA either. It only saw release in Japan in 2004 and Europe the following year.

Another unusual thing about Michigan is the way it plays. You're a TV news cameraman recording reporters in the field trying to document the situation. Instead of direct interactions, you point your camera at things and "tag" them by clicking the X button. This indicates to the reporter that they need to do something. For example, if you tag a door knob, the reporter will open it. If you tag a monster, the reporter will (usually) shoot it. Occasionally, you are able to perform a shove action with L2, but it's mainly just for opening things.

Wow, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is something I haven't thought about in 10 years. I always thought it was a weird attempt to piggyback on the success Spyro and Crash Bandicoot had during the generation before. The last game, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 3: Night of the Quinkan, was released way back in 2005 for the PS2, GameCube, Xbox, and Game Boy Advance. Since then, we've not heard much about him.

Fast forward to 2015, we have hoverboards finally, there is world peace forever, and now Ty 4 is is a thing and it's coming to Steam on September 18.

The game takes a different approach to its predecessors, being a 2D platformer instead of a 3D one. Developed and published completely by original Ty developers Krome Studios, the screenshots look a little bit rough, but it's good to see Ty back after so long.

Not only are we getting a Ty 4, but the first three games are getting a rerelease on PC. Teased on the official Ty Facebook page way back in the dark past of a few weeks ago, all four games are shown running together on PC.

There is currently no release date announced for the first three games just yet. Maybe Ty can make a comeback like Rayman did?

Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is coming to the Americas sometime next year, Atlus confirmed today.

The high-definition remake of Vanillaware's gorgeous PlayStation 2 role-playing game was unveiled earlier this week. On top of cosmetic upgrades, the developer is going under the hood to fine-tune the combat system and make various other minor additions to an already outstanding game.

Atlus plans to release the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita versions both digitally and physically, at least in the Americas. There's currently no word regarding a European release.

If all goes well, Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir will make its Japanese debut on January 14, 2016.

Suikoden III is slated for a digital re-release on PlayStation 3 this week, according to the PlayStation Blog's weekly listing of upcoming releases for North America.

Earlier this year, a European rating for the PlayStation 2 role-playing game appeared, despite the fact it's never been published in PAL territories. Maybe that will finally be chaning sometime soon.

More than a year after coming to PlayStation Network in North America, Shin Megami Tensei : Lucifer's Call -- Nocturne, if you're nasty -- is now available on European shores.

If you can withstand its soul-crushing difficulty, this is one of the darkest, most bizarre (and best) entries in Atlus' catalogue. Oh, and Devil May Cry's Dante (you know, the one people like) even makes an appearance!

You can now download the PlayStation 2 Classic on your PlayStation 3 for for £6.49.

Legend of Kay is a 3D platformer action-adventure title starring Kay, a cat who uses his claws in "meow-tial arts" as well as weaponry to fight evil gorillas who have been oppressing cat kind. So the game is about a species war, I guess?

Nordic Games is remastering the PS2 "classic" (their words) Legend of Kay for its 10th anniversary and releasing it as a budget title on Wii U, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and PC. I hadn't heard of the game till today, so calling it a classic makes little sense as it doesn't fit any definition of the word.

Suikoden III appears to be on its way to PlayStation Network, as PEGI, Europe's videogame classification board, has issued a rating for Konami's acclaimed PlayStation 2 role-playing game.

Unlike the first pair of Suikoden games, which are both available now via PS3, Vita, and PSP, this entry in the series never released in PAL territories. A European localization was in production but was cancelled prior to release. This might be a good opportunity to see what you missed out on.

Remember FMV games? Back in the '90s they were briefly the hot new thing. Games like Phantasmagoria and 7th Guest were considered cutting edge adventure games. Perhaps you even bought a CD-ROM drive for your computer just to play them. Eventually people realized that FMV games were terrible. Many of them were barely even "games," and the technique was pretty much dead well before the turn of the century. So why did Taito decide to unleash Combat Queen onto the PS2 owners of Japan in 2002?

Combat Queen is a rail shooter where you control a team of five young Japanese women with guns. Mostly you're riding around in the back of a pink Jeep shooting giant bugs out of the sky. Occasionally you'll be on foot, shooting giant bugs out of the sky. There are lot of giant bugs in the skies of Japan, and they all pretty much look the same. Once in a while you'll get to a boss character, such as a large centipede-type thing. Outside of these bosses, don't expect a lot of enemy variety.

This is not an easy game. The bugs move fast, and you have limited ammo. If you run out, you can pause the game, and transfer some of your life into your ammo. At the end of a level, you get back some of your life and some of your ammo depending on how well you did. However, because it doesn't completely refill, it's pretty easy to get to a point where you have to completely start over (or at least from a save where you did fairly well).

Combat Queen is extremely repetitive and bland, but it was so bizarre that I managed to get a few hours of fun out of it. I can't fully recommend it unless you're a huge fan of rail shooters and/or nostalgic for FMV. Even then, it'll probably just bug you.

Fishing games have been around a long time. The earliest one I remember playing is Activision's 1980 Fishing Derby for the Atari 2600. Despite its simplicity, it was great. Since then there have been tons more fishing titles, but only a few have really tried experimenting with the genre. One such example is 2002's Space Fishermen for PlayStation 2, a collaboration between a small Japanese developer by the name of Land Ho! and Spumco (the creators of Ren & Stimpy).

The game begins with a choice of three characters:

Diver - a bodybuilder wearing nothing but a diver's helmet and a loincloth

 Masabo - a goofy Stimpy-lookalike

Swallow - a blue woman with extremely long hair

You start out in a hub world where you can talk to people, buy stuff, and choose your fishing site. Everything is in Japanese, so I had to fumble around a bit before I could get to the action, but if you need help there are YouTube videos which illustrate the process.

Fishing takes place on small planet-like areas. Your character rides a hoverboard around the perimeter of the water, and shoots electricity from their rod/gun thing. Wait for yellow circles to appear and hook the fish with the circle button. Then reel it in by rotating the right stick while pulling the left stick in the opposite direction of the fish's movement. It's a little awkward to do all this simultaneously, but eventually I got used to it.

The "fish" you catch are just as bizarre as the characters. So far I've seen a baseball octopus, a clam frog, and a living tin can. Each of the approximately 150 species has a  type which determines what kind of lure they like to eat. For example, an "Animal" type fish will go for a "Shell" type lure. It's somewhat like Pokémon in that way, and the system adds a little strategy to the game.

Space Fishermen never saw a release outside Japan, but if you have the means to play it then I say give it a shot. You just might get hooked.

Strider 2 was pretty fantastic. Although it had an upgraded visual style (for the time), it was a pure throwback to old school beat 'em ups, and had some extremely solid gameplay. It also used the "new" Strider design that was founded in the original Marvel vs. Capcom.

The game will actually hit the PSN on October 7th, and if you're an action fan I highly recommend picking it up. It will also include an arcade port of the original Strider, and will work on the PS3, PSP, and Vita.

In other words, it is now possible to play all three core Strider games on the PS3.

Mama director Andrés Muschietti has been tapped for Shadow of the Colossus now that previous director Josh Trank (Chronicle) is busy with Fantastic Four and Star Wars, reports Deadline.

We've had years to warm up to the idea of a film adaptation but I'm still struggling to see how Shadow of the Colossus, arguably the best videogame of the 2000s, will work outside of its original medium. Every bit of news surrounding the project is just a reminder that "Right, this exists."

Oh well. I'll just continue hoping for the best -- a movie that, if all else fails, is visually breathtaking.

It's a light week in terms of new releases on account of E3. However, there's definitely one game RPG enthusiasts should play in any waking moments not consumed by keeping tabs on all the pomp and circumstance out of Los Angeles this week.

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 arrives on PlayStation Network in North America later today, and will make its digital debut across Europe tomorrow. The Atlus role-playing game first released for the PlayStation 2 in 2005. It's the concluding piece to the original Digital Devil Saga, which also just landed on PSN in western territories.

And for the person that inevitably asks, these titles, as with all others in the "PS2 Classics" line, are available solely via PlayStation 3. Sorry, PS4 and Vita friends, but them's the breaks.

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 might just be the next Atlus classic to manifest on PlayStation 3, an ESRB rating for the RPG suggests.

The news shouldn't come as a total surprise. A sizable portion of the Japanese studio's PS2 catalog has found its way to PlayStation Network in recent months, including the first Digital Devil Saga, which arrived in North America a couple weeks back, and is set to hit Europe tomorrow.

It was just a matter of time, really. The demand is obviously there and Atlus seems more than happy to satisfy.

After a tense will-they-or-won't-they run, Harmonix's Kickstarter for a revival of cult classic music game Amplitude has been funded. At the time of this post, the current amount raised by backers is $777,219, with a funding goal of $775,000.

After a last-ditch effort and plans to ramp up the campaign considerably, Harmonix finally broke through with help from studios like Insomniac Games and hundreds of dedicated fans clamoring for more of the excellence that is Amplitude. It's time for the hard part now: sitting back and waiting for the game to come to fruition.

It's going to be excruciating. With bands like Freezepop and Anamanaguchi on board, I think this iteration of Amplitude is really gonna rock. Let's just hope we're not in for too long of a wait.

Edit: The Kickstarter has now reached $780,803 and Harmonix has responded with stretch goals for the 20 hours left to go in the campaign.

Electronic Arts said last month that it was working to find a solution to the GameSpy Technology shutdown on May 31, 2014 that will mean the end of online functionality, including multiplayer, for a number of titles that rely on the service.

"Unfortunately, due to technical challenges and concerns about the player experience, we do not have a solution at this time," the company wrote in an update. "Online services for EA games on the GameSpy platform will be closed down at the end of June."

A full list of games going offline on June 30 is viewable here and also included below.

"We know some of these games are still fan favorites, including Battlefield 2, Battlefield 1942, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Command & Conquer games. We are still investigating community-supported options to preserve online functionality for these titles, such as multiplayer. Significant technical hurdles remain, and at this time we don't have anything to announce."

Not all hope is lost, as we've seen third-parties help other games which will be impacted by the shutdown, like Halo: Combat Evolved. Shame. Real shame. Some of these games are really good and even though their respective player bases are surely dwindling, it's sad to see them go.

Naughty Dog will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year and in doing so, there will be "several anniversary announcements happening over the coming months."

The first is a collaboration with Dark Horse Comics on The Art of Naughty Dog, releasing later this year. The book will "feature hand-picked, never-before-released artwork depicting our past, present, and future" and also include a chapter on fan art which should be lovely.

The studio sure has come a long way. But, back to that first quote -- what could it mean? Crash Bandicoot fans want more Crash, Jak and Daxter fans want more J&D. Same as it ever was.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army will make its digital debut on PlayStation 3 next week, the PlayStation Blogcast reports.

Unlike the vast majority of MegaTen games, the Raidou Kuzunoha sub-series separates itself from the crowd by eschewing turn-based battles in favor of an action-heavy combat system. It also employs a unique setting, or at least time period, 1930s Japan.

Atlus initially released the RPG back in 2006 for the PlayStation 2. It performed well enough to garner a sequel, Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, which improved on many of the original's foibles. Perhaps we'll see that on PSN someday. Or, if Atlus is taking requests, Nocturne please.

We have a better idea at how PlayStation Now will exactly work thanks to an error that appeared on the PlayStation Store. PSNStores noticed they were able to rent Catherine, with a 1 day, 7 day, and 30 day options available. When they checked their transaction history, PSNStores noted the entry was listed as "Catherine PSNow."

PlayStation Now will be rolling out this summer, and the service will let you stream PS1, PS2, and PS3 games over the internet to PS3, PS4, PS Vita, tablets, smartphones, and televisions direct.

Growlanser: Heritage of War is taking the fight to PlayStation Network next week, the sultry raconteurs of the PlayStation Blogcast have revealed.

The tactical role-playing game initially launched in North America back in 2007 for the PlayStation 2. It was developed by Career Soft, an Atlus subsidiary, which has since gone on to work on video production and various titles like the Devil Survivor series.

Trapt is coming to PlayStation Network next week, according to the latest episode of the PlayStation Blogcast.

A spiritual successor to Tecmo's Deception series, the strategy action title initially released on PlayStation 2 back in 2005. Players take on the role of Allura, a princess accused of murdering her father. On the run from a band of assassins, the exiled maiden is forced set a series of deadly traps to defend herself from her pursuers.

The PS2 Classic arrives just ahead of the Deception IV: Blood Ties, which is scheduled to ensnare western PlayStation 3 and Vita owners this March. Sounds like a perfect opportunity for longtime fans to reminisce and newcomers to get a taste of what they've been missing.

The PlayStation Now streaming services that will let you play PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 3 games over the internet on your PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and other supported devices such as tablets, smartphones, and direct to televisions.

Users have been sharing their beta invite emails online, which details that users will need to have their PlayStation 3 system connected to the Internet directly via Ethernet, and that they need at least a 5Mbps connection speed.

Did you get a PlayStation Now beta invite? Check out our hands-on impressions of the service in action.

Sony's streaming solution to backwards compatibility has only been confirmed for PlayStation 3 titles but a source has told Eurogamer that PS1 and PS2 games will eventually be playable on the PS4. However, they won't be part of the PlayStation Now service -- instead you'll be able to emulate PS1 and PS2 games locally as opposed to streaming them over the internet.

Whilst the ability to play older titles via disc was removed in subsequent PS3 SKUs, Sony does have a good record of supporting games from older systems. There's no word on whether the ability to play PS1/PS2 on your PS4 will roll out with PlayStation Now but Eurogamer's source is saying that there's the chance of "HD visual enhancements" for older games.

I wonder if the resolution enhancements will roll out the same time as the Gaikai-powered streaming service. We'll have to see what happens when PlayStation Now launches in North America later this year. The only bummer for me is that Europeans will have to wait until 2015 to see if Sony's streaming platform works as promised. Knew I bought that copy of Bushido Blade last year for a good reason.

Sony set up a media mixer today outside of CES to let us get a better look at PlayStation Now, their new streaming technology they announced this morning. The same games were available on the Vita and Bravia television demo stations: God of War: Ascension, Puppeteer, The Last of Us, and Beyond: Two Souls.

Revealed by Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House at CES 2014, the company's Gaikai-powered cloud gaming service is called PlayStation Now, and it's coming sooner than anticipated -- this summer in the United States.

Through this service, PS1, PS2, and PS3 games will be playable over the internet on PS3, PS4, PS Vita, and also on devices like tablets, smartphones, and televisions. Even non-PlayStation devices will eventually support PS Now.

The service will allow users to rent on a per-game basis, or subscribe with a currently undisclosed plan. The beta program for PS Now is launching at the end of this month in the US. Pending the finer details and the actual experience, I'm eager to try this out.

Consumers are becoming more interested in buying food from local suppliers, including local beef producers. Since beef cattle is among the top commodities produced in the state, with some 950,000 beef cattle in Tennessee, the number of cattle producers interested in marketing beef directly to local consumers is on the rise.
To educate producers interested in responding to the demand for locally produced beef, University of Tennessee Extension's Center for Profitable Agriculture will be leading a new educational workshop this fall. According to Rob Holland, director of the Center for Profitable Agriculture, the same three-hour workshop will be available in six locations throughout the state to make it easier for producers to choose a workshop convenient to their location or schedule.
The program will focus on beef production techniques and cost considerations and will feature instruction by UT Extension Animal Scientist Justin Rhinehart. "This program will feature a variety of production techniques and cost factors for grain-finished, grass-fed and grain-on-grass systems," Holland said.
Those interested in the "Production and Cost Considerations for Finishing Animals for Direct Marketing" workshop should register through the program's local UT Extension agent host.
This program will be held in Clarksville-Montgomery County on Tuesday, Oct. 7, from 6 to 9 p.m. It will be held in the Montgomery County UT Extension Office located at 1030 Cumberland Heights Road. Call Rusty Evans at 931-648-5725 to register your attendance and reserve your meal.
There is no cost to attend the workshop, but pre-registration is required so organizers can prepare adequate materials. For more information about this and other value-added beef workshops, visit the Center for Profitable Agriculture website: http://ag.tennessee.edu/cpa/.
These educational sessions are offered as part of the statewide "Value-Added Beef Program" and made possible in part by funding from the sale of agricultural specialty license plates (the "Ag Tag"). Funds received from Ag Tag sales are returned to the agricultural community in the form of grants for youth programs, market development projects and other agricultural activities. The Tennessee Value-Added Beef Program is also funded in part by the USDA, Federal-State Marketing Improvement Program.
The Center for Profitable Agriculture is a joint effort of UT Extension and the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation. UT Extension provides a gateway to the University of Tennessee as the outreach unit of the UT Institute of Agriculture. With an office in every Tennessee county, UT Extension delivers educational programs and research-based information to citizens throughout the state. In cooperation with Tennessee State University, UT Extension works with farmers, families, youth and communities to improve lives by addressing problems and issues at the local, state and national levels.

Foxy and Fortysomething: Hot Showbiz Moms
- Photo: Evan Agostini/Invision/AP1 of 11
By Sabrina Cognata
It's said that motherhood makes a woman more beautiful, but these women have taken it to an entirely new level. With the child-bearing years arriving much later for many women in Hollywood, motherhood leaves them wiser and better equipped to raise their children. Still, it's the stars' secrets about raising children, working and being as gorgeous as ever that set them apart from the rest.
Julia might be the reigning queen of the romantic comedy, but at home she's simply mom. Mother to 4-year-old fraternal twins Hazel Patricia and son Phinnaeus, as well as 2-year-old son Henry Daniel, she credits them with helping her feel beautiful. "The key to beauty is always to be looking at someone who loves you, really," says Julia. "One of my favorite things about my children right now, even Henry, who can't say all the words... sometimes he'll see me and go, 'Ma-ma!' and throw himself on me."

Our custom Suntex 80% solar screens are factory made with Phifer Suntex 80 Solar Screen fabric. Phifer is a world leader in solar screens. The Phifer Suntex 80% solar screen mesh blocks approximately 80% of the suns radiant heat before it reaches the window in an outdoor application. It can reduce your cooling portion of your electric bill up to 30%.
Suntex 80% Screen is typically used on the sides of the home that receives direct sunlight. We find that all color screen mesh works to shade from sunlight but the darker colors work best for outward visibility. If your goal is to reduce heat in your house, you must screen the entire window.
Here's what one of our customers said about this solar screen; "Just a followup - the screens were perfect, the clips worked well. Thanks! We can already tell a difference in the coolness of our "hot side" of the house. Well worth the price and your service was excellent. Thanks!"
The Suntex 80% screen mesh's uniform weave design offers excellent outward visibility and good ventilation. The mesh allows natural light to come into your home and allows great outward visibility with some daytime privacy. People still might be able to see silhouettes. It also provides enough light for your indoor house plants while providing enough UV protection to keep your drapes, blinds, furniture and flooring from fading. The fabric is also pet resistant. Suntex 80% screen fabric is woven from extremely strong and durable vinyl-coated polyester yarns. The mesh was originally developed for outdoor furniture and is mildew and fade resistant and only needs an occasional cleaning with mild soap. Suntex has UV inhibitors to keep it from fading or rotting upward to 25 years in the direct sunlight with a manufacturer warranty of 10 years.
SunTex 80 solar screen is available in a choice of six earth tone colors; black, brown, beige, dark bronze, grey and stucco. There are five frame color choices and a wide selection of attachment hardware to meet most any needs. For solar screens we recommend the heavy duty 5/16 x 1" or 7/16 x 1" window screen frame. These window screen frames are sturdier than your average window frame. We also recommend cross bars for solar screens. This is a great screen choice for those looking for durable window screen.
