Fallout 2 - Resurrection Mod 1.5 released
Henriquejr spotted patch 1.5 for the Fallout Resurrection Mod:
Resurrection version 1.5 is now available for download.
You can download the patch here or the full install here. You can find more links to downloads on our download page.
Version 1.5 brings a large number of bug fixes, and various other small improvements. Many of these fixed bugs were found thanks to you, the players. You have reported many of them to us, and we were able to discover some by watching playthroughs on YouTube.
Basic information regarding the patch that we recommend you read before updating Resurrection:
Enjoy the game!
- The patch can be applied to Resurrection version 1.4 only. The English version of the patch doesn't contain changes from the older versions of the game, because the first English release was already version 1.4.
- Save slots from the older version aren't compatible with the new version of the game. After certain changes, Fallout 2 isn't able to load saves made before those changes. Therefore save slots from older versions of Resurrection won't load in Resurrection version 1.5.
- We have updated the versions Sfall and High Resolution patch that are included with Resurrection. If some time in the future you want to update them to newer versions, you can easily do so by copying the newest versions of the ddraw.dll file (for Sfall) or the f2_res.dll file (for High Resolution patch) into the Fallout 2/Resurrection directory. But do not copy ddraw.ini or f2_res.ini into the Fallout 2/Resurrection directory. There're specific settings in these files for Resurrection that are different from the default settings of High Resolution patch and Sfall.
- Since the ini files of High Resolution patch and Sfall are updated with the patch as well, your settings in them (for example the game's resolution) will be set back to default. You'll have to redo your settings with Resurrection's Configuration Program, or by editing those files manually.
- The folder "resdata" found in the folder "Resurrection" was renamed to "data" for version 1.5. The patch installer will take care of the renaming automatically. Thanks to this change, various programs for Fallout file editing will now work with Resurrection without a problem.
- If you downloaded some files containing hot fixes beforehand, you should delete those files before installing the patch (check sub folders in the Resurrection/data folder, or in the case of version 1.4 in the Resurrection/resdata folder). Those fixes are now part of version 1.5. - If you want to see what's new in version 1.5, read the fores_change.log file found in the Resurrection folder, or check the changelog here (beware though, it contains SPOILERS!).
- If you encounter a problem installing or running Resurrection, check the readme file first. The solution to your problem might be there. If the readme doesn't help, let us know on our forum, or email us and we'll try to help you.

Fallout 2 - Fallout Nevada Mod
@RetrospectiveGaming A mod for Fallout 2 is getting translated into English called Fallout:Nevada
English Translation Thread- http://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/fa...
Russian Website- http://fallout-nevada.ucoz.ru
From Fallout Mods Wiki- "The game is set in the territory of Nevada state before the first Fallout. The main character is a dweller of Vault 8 (not Richard Grey or Boyarsky, mind you!). Your task is to find the SoS (The Set of outward Security), created to organize security measures in future Vaults. But this quest is child's play, compared to the unexpected turn of events that will take you on this potentially dark journey. Life in the wasteland is just beginning to appear. Settlements are scarce, roads are almost non-existent, The world is engulfed in anarchy, more so than before. It will be tough for your body and mind to survive.
Social interaction is a main part of this game's development. There will be no absolutely evil or absolutely good characters. Most of the quests and situations will provide the player with dilemmas of ethics and moral struggle."

The Resurrection of Fallout has come
Finally, the English version of Fallout 1.5: Resurrection is out. You can download the installation file here. Other links (including links to the archive for manual installation) can be found on this page. Just a small reminder - You need to have Fallout 2 installed before you install Resurrection.
If you happen to have any problems with installation or with running the game, we recommend checking the "Known Issues and Their Solutions" section in the Resurrection readme. Otherwise, feel free to send us an email or contact us on our forum and we'll try to help you. We're also interested in your opinion of the game and the experiences from your playthroughs. Lastly, let us know if you come across any bugs so we can fix them. Apart from the aforementioned forum and email, you can reach us on our Facebook or Twitter.
Enjoy the game!loading...
Message from the devs:
I would like to inform you about our project called Fallout 1.5: Resurrection. It's a modification for Fallout 2 (yes, for that old game) with a completely new story taking place in the Fallout universe. Simply said, it's like new old-school Fallout, emphasizing multiple approaches to quest solving and various styles of gameplay.
Starting out as an enthusiastic idea based on our wish to create our own Fallout game, we ended up working on it for over 10 years in our spare time, and released it in 2013 in Czech (our native language), to critical acclaim. After that we worked two-and-a-half years on the English translation so that the English-speaking world could finally enjoy our game as well.

Fallout 2 - Retro Review @ RPGamer
RPGamer has posted a retro review for Fallout 2, and from the tone of the review the writer enjoyed playing the game. The final score for the game was 4/5.
Black Isle Studios could have chosen to use the 3D technology of the late 90s in creating Fallout 2, but it erred on the side of sprites that did not tax the hardware of the time. While this means the game is hardly a sumptuous feature for the eyes today, aside from a limited color palette it is not eye-gougingly horrendous either. Many details in character animation are quite nice, and the brutality of some deaths is impressive even now.
Most of Fallout 2's music is atmospheric and mood-setting, not standing out by deliberate design. It is nevertheless effective at its intended task and complements the world design quite well. Little of the copious dialogue in the game is voiced, which is a shame considering performers like Michael Dorn and Jeffrey Jones don't get to do very much, but good work is turned in by all concerned.
Some games manage to age without problems, being just as playable now as when they were originally released. Fallout 2 is not one of those games, but after I got through the clunky aspects of its presentation, it became hard to stop playing. Even though I frequently had to research something I wanted to do but couldn't discern from the game itself, the gripping world presented here snared me and wouldn't let go until I was done. That's an impressive accomplishment for a title from any era.

Fallout 2 - Restoration Project 2.2
No Mutants Allowed has news that the Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.2 is now available for download.
This is it, the big one. After 3 years of intense work, killap the Bear Dude has released the final version of the Restoration Project, bringing Fallout 2 closer to the original vision by reimplementing scores of features that did not make the cut all the way back in 1998. However, don't take it from us, listen to the Bear Dude himself:"Now come 2013, RP 2.2 is being released. I believe that this version is what I had always envisioned the Restoration Project would become. If you were put off by older RP releases, please give it a try again. I think you'll be pleased. If you've been waiting 6 years to play the RP, well, now is your chance. And if you've already played it dozens of times before, rest assured there is new content for you to experience. Smile
Is this the end of Bear Dude's Fallout modding adventure? To me it is, but I've already said this before and I'll admit that anytime I see a bug reported for something I've worked on, I get the urge to squash it. So expect at least one more minor update down the road, especially since at the very least a Russian translation is in the works. But do know, that to me, I'm done.
Was all this worth the many, many thousands of hours I put in over the years to fix vanilla bugs and add new content? I think so. I had fun doing it and really, I just wanted others to get even more enjoyment out of a game they loved. I also like to think that in some way I inspired others to do modding of their own and to realize that just because a game is old it doesn't mean it has to be abandoned."

Fallout 2 - Retrospective @ PCGAMER
PCGAMER has a retrospective article on Fallout 2 with their next reinstall article.
F2's real genius, though, is that there's no assumption that you have to win every fight or see every possibility. Sure, if you come to New Reno sporting stolen power armor, you'll be a force to be reckoned with. More likely, however, you'll arrive as just another schlub, easily put down if you go around starting fights with the wrong people. Not being the ultimate badass changes everything. What little power and influence you accumulate in New Reno is earned, and it's more meaningful because of it. And that's just the start.
You see, as a wanderer, you can never find home. You don't have to set foot in New Reno to finish Fallout 2, but if you do, you'll eventually have to leave. As with all the other towns you visit, however, your decisions have power. Who controls the streets? What happens to the drug trade? War may never change, but the world of Fallout 2 definitely does, and the one thing you can guarantee as the final credits roll is that however low New Reno sinks into depravity, nobody there will ever forget you—the hero or villain they only knew as Arnold Swollenmember.

Fallout 2 - Gaming Made Me @ RPS
Rock, Paper, Shotgun's Gaming Made Me series looks at the influence of Fallout 2 on the author:
I still distinctly remember the first couple of hours of Fallout 2. Fallout 2 was the first game I picked up of my own volition, and the first game I finished on my own. It would also be one of the only games where I played as a woman–it's one of the rare instances where, though obviously largely written for a male audience, I still felt acknowledged.
I modified one of the starting characters, Chitsa. I appreciated that she was optimized for diplomacy, though I tweaked her to have high intelligence ("like me!," I thought) and got rid of her sex appeal perk. No, I didn't really want to "have a way" with the opposite sex–not in the manner the game implied, anyway. Not realizing I wasn't "supposed" to be playing this game this young, I was confused as to why I couldn't make my character younger than 18. At least I could rename her–and to this day, that Fallout 2 character is the only character I've named after myself in a game.

Fallout 2 - A Guide to An Idiot @ RPS
The Big Cow Punch: A Guide to An Idiot's Fallout 2 is an after-action-report at Rock, Paper, Shotgun as the writer describes his experiences with Al, a Fallout 2 character with zero intelligence:
Al is an idiot. Not in the mean-spirited, pejorative sense, but in the literal 'there are dead fleas that make better conversation' sense. I've made a moron. When he was told to quest for the GECK he probably didn't stoically grit his teeth or ask every question in the conversation tree – as your typical post-apocalyptic typical heroes do – he more likely dribbled from tooth to toe and burbled a few rhymes. GECK? Heck. Neck? Feck.
Chosen One? It's a wonder his tribe didn't kill him at birth.
What Al lacks in smarts he compensates for in his capacity for violence, however – he's bigger than a Radscorpion and his Perception rating is so far off the charts that they had to invent a new kind of telescope. I am, in other words, fairly confident that this lummox can handle Fallout 2's wastelands even despite his skull-headed handicap. It's not like the Science skill is ever actually useful for anything and, even if it was, Fallout 2 is my game. The one I know inside and out; it's the one I play in my head when my boss is talking to me. Low Intelligence score isn't going to hold me back for long. Or so I thought.

Fallout 2 - Restoration Project Updated
News from NMA that Killap's Restoration Project for Fallout 2 has been updated to v2.1.2b, offering a new playable character type ("bald dude") and numerous bug fixes.
Thursday - April 01, 2010
Fallout 2 - Unofficial Patch 1.02
Killap has also released an updated Unofficial Patch for Fallout 2 with the 100 odd fixes that are included with the Restoration Project. Full details here at NMA and thanks again to Toni.
Fallout 2 - Restoration Project v2.0
Killap has released v2.0 of his Fallout 2 Restoration Project, overhauling all the additional dialogue, restoring even more content and fixing 100 original bugs along the way:
The monumental day has finally come. Some of you lost hope; many patiently stuck around to the end. The beyond long awaited 2.0 release of the Restoration Project is at hand. This is a MAJOR release, which boasts overhauls to nearly all aspects of the content already in the mod. In addition, the eagerly awaited addition of the Shi sub can now be enjoyed, as well as several other minor/moderate new content additions. It seems like we're finally running out of cut content to add. Of course, no release would be complete without a slew of bug fixes to ensure a stable and enjoyable playing time. Not only were bugs fixed in the mod, but nearly a hundred bugs have been squashed that were in the vanilla version of the game and were not yet fixed by my unofficial patch. To me, this release is what I wanted version 1.0 of the mod to be. I'm extremely proud of what has been accomplished and ever so grateful to those who helped make it happen. It only took me about 2 1/2 years to get here. [...]
A sample from the notes:
Major Changes:
• Complete dialogue overhaul for every RP location and character
The dialogue in the RP often left much to be desired and it never quite fit with the rest of the vanilla dialogue. Well, this should no longer be the case and nearly all the dialogue at RP locations has been rewritten and should seamlessly fit into the rest of the game. A big thanks to community member Dravean for his help in this area.
• Kaga Redone
Kaga has been completely overhauled to be more true to his original intent. His encounters are no longer scripted sequences and nor are they forced. Kaga's encounters are just like normal encounters, but deadly ones at that. You'll get some dialogue to go along with it too, but it has completely been rewritten.
• Complete overhaul of the EPA
This location has been completely redesigned to be bigger and better than ever - new map, new dialogue, new quests, new secrets, etc. A big thanks to Pixote for his awesome mapping and graphic skills.
• 3 new recruitable npcs available
To go along with the EPA overhaul, there are now 3 npcs that can join you which are found there. The one you get depends upon the skills you have chosen to develop.
• Improvements to every RP location
Not only has the dialogue improved at every RP location, but the quests have also been altered. The quests at these locations have been improved and new ones have even been added.
• Shi Submarine
Sailing to the Enclave no longer requires just fixing up the Tanker. The undead guardian of San Francisco is preventing anything from entering or leaving the harbor and something has to be done about it. This content has finally been realized thanks to the beautiful graphic work of community member Continuum.
• Improved maps
Both vanilla and RP locations look better than ever thanks to help of community member Pixote.
• Vertibird is no longer flyable to the Enclave, but...
You no longer can fly a vertibird to the Enclave, as there really wasn't enough evidence supporting the intent of this. It didn't even make sense logically - how could everyone from your tribe, etc fit on board? However, evidence instead points to the intent for the player to stowaway on a vertibird during the Salvatore-Enclave transaction. Thus, in much the same way as the player could get to the Military Base in F1 at an earlier time than usual, the same concept is now possible in F2. The chance of survival is slim, but it's not impossible.
Head to the thread at NMA for the full details and installation links. Not an April Fool's joke, by the way. Thanks, Toni!

Fallout 2 - Retrospective @GOG
A retrospective on Fallout 2 can be found at Good old Games as part of their week of Fallout.
Creatively speaking, the sky was still the limit, but a stringent schedule and lack of resources dictated just how much time the team had to touch the clouds. "We had one full-time programmer on it," Avellone says, "with some occasional assistance from Chris Jones, but the title probably could have benefited from help on the programming front. Our lead programmer was pretty overwhelmed with dealing with issues on the title and occasionally had to field surprise feature requests and the tricky AI."
With few resources and even less time to use them, Fallout 2's team narrowed their task to two intertwined objectives: use what worked in the original and fix what didn't. Chosen for improvement were hand-to-hand combat skills, a broader selection of weapons and abilities, and random encounters.
With something on project V13 as well.
Rather than create a single-player experience, Project V13 will take its place in the ever-growing massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) genre. To ensure that the experience maintains the atmosphere that made Fallout and Fallout 2 so renowned, many former Interplay employees have returned to lend their skills to the project. Chief among them is Chris Taylor, who couldn't be happier breathing radioactive air and fighting mutated humans once again.
"Project V13 is so far off from release that we really can't get into specifics," Taylor says. "So many things are likely to change as we move from pre-production to full-blown production and into testing. It's going to be a long time, but this is the project that I've been trying to work on for many years. I'm a fan of the MMO genre, and I hope that we can bring some of the same goodness to MMOs like we brought to CRPGs will Fallout."

Fallout 2 - Mod Article @ RPS
Alec Meer brings some Fallout 2 Mods to light.
These'll be of little interest to the more ardent Fallout 2 vet, who's doubtless played all of these long ago, and is already preparing to spam-cry 'OLD!' below. If, however, if you're coming to the game fairly fresh or are replaying it for the first time in ages due to excitement about Fallout 3 or because GoG.com's made it so cheaply available, you might find much to delight and enrapture your young mind here.
It's Moddb's round-up of the best Fallout 2 total conversions, from the quest-expanding Restoration project to the tri-part Wasteland Merc series. Oh, for more free time.

Fallout 2 - Restoration Project 1.1
Version 1.1 of killap's Fallout 2 Restoration Project has been released through NMA:
Version 1.1 of the Fallout 2 Restoration Project is now ready. Hopefully most, if not all, of the issues found in 1.0 are fixed. Starting a new game is not required, but many of the fixes will not take effect unless you enter the area for the first time (New Reno and EPA are such examples) Thus if you haven't made it too far I highly suggest starting a new game. It's not required though and old saves will work just fine.
Grab the installer here or head over for comments and more info.
Tuesday - January 08, 2008
Fallout 2 - Restoration Project Updates
NMA has a couple of Fallout 2 Restoration Project updates - details of some possible crash bugs and a small update to v1.02.22 of killap's included unofficial patch:
Ok, it seems there are issues with the ammo mod and FO1 gun sounds which come as extras in the expansion. I suggest for those having odd crashes while in combat or really odd crashes in general to uninstall the expansion (use the uninstaller from the FO folder) and reinstall without those two extras. Don't worry your save games will remain and work just fine after reinstalling the expansion. A new installer is up which has these two extras removed.

Fallout 2 - Restoration Project Released
After two years work, Killap's Fallout 2 Restoration Project has been released at NMA. Here's part of the announcement and part of the notes covering the new areas restored head over for all the changes to the existing locations:
The day of release has finally come. It has taken me about almost 2 years to get this complete and yet I still believe I can find stuff to add. The purpose of this mod is to add back into the game all the content that was originally planned by the Fallout 2 devs. You will find about 6 new locations (some quite large, other smaller) as well as a few new areas to old locations. In addition, almost every town in the game has new content whether it is new characters, quests, or items. Playing this will definitely be a new experience. Completion of this expansion would also not have been possible without several individuals who I thank in the readme of this mod. Big thanks to all of you! [...]
Version 1.0 includes:
New Locations:
• Primitive Tribe
• Abbey
• Vault Village
• Slaver's Camp
• Hubologist Stash
• Den Residential Area
• Enclave Vertibird Landing Pad
• Ranger Safe Houses
New Karma title:
• New title given at the start of the game. Can be lost depending on the choices you make.
The file is 26Mb for the full installer and grab the link from the NMA post.

Fallout 2 - Unofficial Fan Patch @ NMA
The final Fallout 2 fan patch from Killap is available at NMA, also incorporating (I believe) Timeslip's awesome engine tweaks. Here's their newsbit, which contains all the links:
This patch has been in production for several years now and it fixes well over 800+ bugs left in the game since the official 1.02 patch. I suggest using this installer version as opposed to the manual one since the installer will do everything automatically for you. If you want to do things manually though, go ahead and grab the manual rar version. I hope you enjoy the best Fallout 2 experience yet!

Fallout 2 - An Outsider's Perspective
The first of a serial After Action Report of sorts is up at Evil Avatar, offering first impressions from a brand new player of Fallout 2:
Fallout 2. To most gamers, the very name brings up fond memories of late nights at the computer, eagerly plugging along in search of the GECK.
Many gamers played this when it was new, and many when it was old. It is a fixture in the world of gaming. One of the few games that has proven its mettle with countless audiences, and has strayed into the realm of legend. Almost any gamer you meet will have played - and loved - it.
I am not one of them. Until today, anyways.

Fallout 2 - Dev Profile @ NMA
NMA has revived their Fallout developer profile series, with this relaunch discussing Colin McComb and his design work on Fallout 2 (and PS:T) :
I've been as a professional writer for more than 15 years. I started working at TSR straight out of college. Somehow I managed to convince them to hire me on the basis of my philosophy degree and charming personality, and I was there for about five years. I was one of the co-designers of the Birthright campaign setting, and took over (with Monte Cook) a lot of the design work on the Planescape setting when Zeb Cook left for Interplay. I put out about twenty-five to thirty gaming products at TSR, and won two Origins Awards in that batch.

China, Hong Kong stocks fall as Beijing releases mixed Sept trade data
* CSI300 -0.4 pct; SSEC -0.3 pct; HSI -0.5 pct
* China exports fall 3.7 pct y/y in Sept, imports slump
* Investor confidence improves sharply in Sept - survey
SHANGHAI, Oct 13 (Reuters) - China and Hong Kong stocks retreated Tuesday morning on profit-taking following strong rebounds over the past sessions, with investors unimpressed by China's September trade data suggesting the economy remains under downward pressure.
Also weighing on the markets were energy stocks , which slumped on reports that China plans to cut natural gas prices by as much as 30 percent soon.
China's blue-chip CSI300 index fell 0.4 percent, to 3,434.62 points by lunch time, while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.3 percent, to 3,277.66 points.
Newly-released data shows that China's exports fell 3.7 percent from a year earlier in September in dollar-denominated terms, while imports tumbled more than 20 percent.
Although export figures were stronger than expected, the slump in imports points to persistent weakness in the economy, heightening hopes of more stimulus ahead as Chinese leaders gather in Beijing later this month for a key meeting to iron out China's 13th "five-year" development plan.
But David Dai, Shanghai-based investor director at Nanhai Fund Management Co, said fears of a sharp slowdown have been largely priced in, and with the clean-up of illegal margin financing coming to an end, market sentiment is stabilizing. Continuación...

Close Goodbyes - Poem by Maria Barbara Korynt
behind the third ocean it was miraculously
the life alone passed without pushing
making the bed gravel footpaths with white shadow
of box trees in length cut
on their background colour umbrella
it decorated grass green
flirting with blue of water like the painted flower
with bizarre colours gathered
from the rainbow ribbon stuck in my hair
your eyes as ever carefully expected
gathering clouds on my forehead
in order in time to save it what delicate
before the approaching storm
you weren't only able in them to stop lightnings
and me when I came back up to own wings
it was behind the third ocean better
now I am here where your music of words
for me is still heard even though surges
are carrying fleeting dreams more slowly
I feel the familiar smell
when a gentle puff of wind
is caressing my body
my world is one great ocean
I am not having to search more
a lot of of them these are departures
partings and retutrnings
how I will name it when you stay there far
and I won't manage to exceed
the fourth ocean
don't only forget to trim the lawn
and heart whether will withstand
when a half stays...

Our children are over 18 years old and living on their own. We separated last April. In September I started paying her maintenance support, $1000 per month. She inherited over a million dollars and two houses. Before she inherited, we agreed to file bankruptcy together. I stopped paying my bills. I'm currently now 3 months behind. I asked for nothing in the divorce, except for a couch, TV and bow flex. My question is: Can maintenance support stop when we go back to court in a few weeks to finalize the divorce.
Definitely. The purpose of maintenance is to allow a spouse to enjoy the kind of lifestyle they had during the marriage. If she is inheriting that kind of money she has no need for maintenance. be sure and talk to an attorney so you get your way in court.Ask a similar question
In all likelihood, yes. You should discuss the specific facts of your case with a knowledgeable family law attorney in your county.Ask a similar question

Something That You Should Put An Eye On


text:
According to the 'word/rule' account, regular inflection is computed by a default, symbolic process, whereas irregular inflection is achieved by associative memory. Conversely, pattern- associator accounts attribute both regular and irregular inflection to an associative process. The acquisition of the default is ascribed to the asymmetry in the distribution of regular and irregular tokens. Irregular tokens tend to form tight, well-defined phonological clusters (e.g. sing-sang, ring-rang), whereas regular forms are diffusely distributed throughout the phono- logical space. This distributional asymmetry is necessary and sufficient for the acquisition of a regular default. Hebrew nominal inflection challenges this account. We demonstrate that Hebrew speakers use the regular masculine inflection as a default despite the overlap in the distribution of regular and irregular Hebrew masculine nouns. Specifically, Experiment 1 demonstrates that regular inflection is productively applied to novel nouns regardless of their similarity to existing regular nouns. In contrast, the inflection of irregular sounding nouns is strongly sensitive to their similarity to stored irregular tokens. Experiment 2 estab- lishes the generality of the regular default for novel words that are phonologically idiosyn- cratic. Experiment 3 demonstrates that Hebrew speakers assign the default regular inflection to borrowings and names that are identical to existing irregular nouns. The existence of default inflection in Hebrew is incompatible with the distributional asymmetry hypothesis. Our find- ings also lend no support for a type-frequency account. The convergence of the circumstances triggering default inflection in Hebrew, German and English suggests that the capacity for default inflection may be general.
"A gem"—Mark Aronoff, New York Times Book Review
How does language work? How do children learn their mother tongue? Why do languages change over time, making Shakespearean English difficult for us and Chaucer's English almost incomprehensible? Why do languages have so many quirks and irregularities? Are they all fundamentally alike? How are new words created? Where in the brain does language reside? In Words and Rules, Steven Pinker answers these and many other questions. His new book shares the wit and style of his classic, The Language Instinct, but explores language in a completely different way. In this book, Pinker explains the profound mysteries of language by picking a deceptively single phenomenon and examining it from every angle. The phenomenon—regular and irregular verbs—connects an astonishing array of topics in the sciences and humanities: the history of languages; the theories of Noam Chomsky and his critics; the attempts to simulate language using computer simulations of neural networks; the illuminating errors of children as they begin to speak; the nature of human concepts; the peculiarities of the English language; major ideas in the history of Western philosophy; the latest techniques in identifying genes and imaging the living brain. Pinker makes sense of all of this with the help of a single, powerful idea: that language comprises a mental dictionary of memorized words and a mental grammar of creative rules. The idea extends beyond language and offers insight into the very nature of the human mind. This is a sparkling, eye-opening, and utterly original book by one of the world's leading cognitive scientists.
REVIEWSReview ExcerptsFull Reviews
AVAILABLE AT: AmazonAmazon UKBarnes & NobleIndieBound
The vast expressive power of language is made possible by two principles: the arbitrary sound- meaning pairing underlying words, and the discrete combinatorial system underlying grammar. These principles implicate distinct cognitive mechanisms: associative memory and symbol- manipulating rules. The distinction may be seen in the difference between regular inflection (e.g., walk-walked), which is productive and open-ended and hence implicates a rule, and irregular inflection (e.g., come-came, which is idiosyncratic and closed and hence implicates individually memorized words. Nonetheless, two very different theories have attempted to collapse the distinction; generative phonology invokes minor rules to generate irregular as well as regular forms, and connectionism invokes a pattern associator memory to store and retrieve regular as well as irregular forms. I present evidence from three disciplines that supports the traditional word/rule distinction, though with an enriched conception of lexical memory with some of the properties of a pattern-associator. Rules, nonetheless, are distinct from pattern- association, because a rule concatenates a suffix to a symbol for verbs, so it does not require access to memorized verbs or their sound patterns, but applies as the "default," whenever memory access fails. I present a dozen such circumstances, including novel, unusual-sounding, and rootless and headless derived words, in which people inflect the words regularly (explaining quirks like flied out, low-lifes, and Walkmans). A comparison of English to other languages shows that contrary to the connectionist account, default suffixation is not due to numerous regular words reinforcing a pattern in associative memory, but to a memory-independent, symbol-concatenating mental operation.
Language comprises a lexicon for storing words and a grammar for generating rule-governed forms. Evidence is presented that the lexicon is part of a temporal-parietalhnedial-temporal "declarative memory" system and that granlmatical rules are processed by a frontamasal-ganglia "procedural" system. Patients produced past tenses of regular and novel verbs (looked and plagged), which require an -ed-suffixation rule, and irregular verbs (dug), which are retrieved from memory. Word-finding difficulties in posterior aphasia, and the general declarative memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease, led to more errors with irregular than regular and novel verbs. Grammatical difficulties in anterior aphasia, and the general impairment of procedures in Parkinson's disease, led to the opposite pattern. In contrast to the Parkinson's patients, who showed suppressed motor activity and rule use, Huntington's disease patients showed excess motor activity and rule use, underscoring a role for the basal ganglia in grammatical processing.
"Witty, lucid, and ultimately enthralling."—Robert McCrum, The Observer
In this extraordinary book, Steven Pinker, one of the world's leading cognitive scientists, does for the rest of the mind what he did for language in his 1994 bestseller The Language Instinct. He explains what the mind is, how it evolved, and how it allows us to see, think, feel, laugh, interact, enjoy the arts, and ponder the mysteries of life. And he does it with the wit, clarity, and verve that earned The Language Instinct, worldwide critical acclaim and awards from major scientific societies. Pinker explains the mind by "reverse-engineering" it—figuring out what natural selection designed it to accomplish in the environment in which we evolved. The mind, he writes, is a system of "organs of computation" that allowed our ancestors to understand and outsmart objects, animals, plants, and each other. How the Mind Works explains many of the imponderables of everyday life. Why does a face look more attractive with makeup? How do "Magic-Eye" 3-D stereograms work? Why do we feel that a run of heads makes the coin more likely to land tails? Why is the thought of eating worms disgusting? Why do men challenge each other to duels and murder their ex-wives? Why are children bratty? Why do fools fall in love? Why are we soothed by paintings and music? And why do puzzles like the self, free will, and consciousness leave us dizzy? This arguments in the book are as bold as its title. Pinker rehabilitates unfashionable ideas, such as that the mind is a computer and that human nature was shaped by natural selection. And he challenges fashionable ones, such as that passionate emotions are irrational, that parents socialize their children, that creativity springs from the unconscious, that nature is good and modern society corrupting, and that art and religion are expressions of our higher spiritual yearnings. How the Mind Works presents a big picture, but it is not a personal musing; it is a grand synthesis of the most satisfying explanations of our mental life that have been proposed in cognitive science and evolutionary biology, with insights from disciplines ranging from neuroscience to economics and social psychology. It is also fascinating, provocative, and thoroughly entertaining.

New Zealand Dollar Short Head and Shoulders Pattern
New Zealand Dollar Short Head and Shoulders Pattern
-EURUSD resistance at 1.34
-AUDUSD top not yet confirmed
-NZDUSD short term head and shoulders top
-USDJPY continues to threaten resistance
-USDCHF support at 1.1350
Euro/ US Dollar
My working assumption is that a wave 2 high is in place at 1.3740 (within what will be a 5 wave decline from 1.4723). Ultimately, the EURUSD is in a long term bear that likely lasts for a few years. That is not to say that there will not be rallies along the way. I wrote yesterday that "near term, 5 waves may be nearing completion from 1.3640. Look to sell rallies… the breakdown level at 1.3416 is resistance." A corrective rally from yesterday's low is expected to reach completion within the next day. As mentioned, former support at 1.3416 is now resistance.
British Pound/ US Dollar
Price action since 1.35 is a 4th wave that will end as either a triangle or flat. I wrote last week that "since it looks as though the EURUSD long term decline has resumed, a triangle (see arrows) is more likely. IF a triangle is underway, then wave D is working lower towards 1.40 now." Cable is following the triangle path…we'll look for it to play out. It is unlikely that I'll advocate trades in the GBPUSD for a number of weeks since the pair is in a correction.
Australian Dollar/ US Dollar
"Price action in the AUDUSD since the October 2008 low has carved out what could be a head and shoulders continuation pattern. This is pure speculation at this point but the 'look' is there. For the last 3 days, the pair has been testing the left shoulder level. Staying below .7050 keeps the short term trend pointed lower." The AUDUSD drop has accelerated. Once I see 5 waves down from .7093, a top in AUDUSD will be confirmed.
New Zealand/ US Dollar
I wrote last week that "there is a count in the NZDUSD that calls for a wave 2 high to form before .6090. If this is to occur, then a high should form within the next few days. Short term structure favors a push above .5753 in order to complete wave c of an expanded flat." Kiwi is 200 pips off of the high and price has broken below a short term support line. Bears can move risk to .58 (last week's high) and short term resistance is at .5670-.5715. Bolstering the bearish case is the short term head and shoulders formation.
US Dollar/ Japanese Yen
The longer term USDJPY decline may have resumed. The advance from 87.09 is in 3 waves and price has dropped below the wave A high at 94.67, confirming that the decline is in 3 waves (and can not become an impulse). Favor the downside as long as price is below 99. Above there and the USDJPY likely tests the 200 day SMA just below 100.
US Dollar / Canadian Dollar
Since the USDCAD did exceed its wave 3 terminus on March 9, it is possible that wave 5 within a 5 wave advance from the 2007 low is complete. Near term, a push above 1.2653 would possibly complete 5 waves up from 1.2197. A pullback would then offer an opportunity to get long against that level.
US Dollar / Swiss Franc
Like the EURUSD, the USDCHF may have resumed its longer term trend towards USD strength. Near term, bulls are in control as long as price is above 1.2222. Price is nearing former resistance at 1.1350, which should now hold as support.

China stocks reverse earlier losses to end sharply higher
SHANGHAI, June 23 (Reuters) - China stocks ended sharply higher in a volatile session on Tuesday, after an earlier sell-off attracted fresh buying from both local and foreign investors who believe the bull market is not yet over.
The market resumed trading after a public holiday on Monday with some investors cutting losses following last week's 13 percent tumble, but the indexes swung wildly in and out of positive territory over the day.
At the end of session, the CSI300 index of the largest listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen rose 3.2 percent, to 4,786.09, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 2.2 percent, to 4,576.49 points.
Last week's sharp correction was triggered by fresh government moves to tighten margin financing, and worsened by a tidal wave of initial public offerings that sapped liquidity.
A mild rebound on Tuesday morning was used by some investors to dump shares, knocking key indexes down more than 2 percent at one point.
"Many highly-leveraged investors are forced to sell shares at all costs due to margin calls," said Zhou Lin, analyst at Huatai Securities Co.
But stocks staged a rebound in afternoon trade, with some investors drawing encouragement from a chorus of bullish comments from state-run financial newspapers arguing that the logic supporting the bull market has not changed.
Some analysts also attributed the rebound to improving liquidity situations this week.
"There might be an expectation of a recovery in the market as a substantial amount of capital, locked up for IPOs, will be released," said Gerry Alfonso, director at Shenwen Hongyuan Securities Co. Continuación...
