Significant Points
· Employment growth will be considerably slower than that of other computer specialists, due to the spread of pre-packaged software solutions. Three out of 5 computer programmers held at least a bachelor's degree in 2008.
· Prospects should be best for college graduates with knowledge of a variety of programming languages and tools; those with less formal education or its equivalent in work experience should face strong competition for programming jobs.
Nature of the Work
programmers write, test, and maintain the detailed instructions, called programs,
that computers must follow to perform their functions. They also conceive, design,
and test logical structures for solving problems by computer. Many technical
innovations in programming—advanced computing technologies and sophisticated
new languages and programming tools—have redefined the role of a programmer
and elevated much of the programming work done today. Job titles and descriptions may vary, depending on
the organization. In this occupational statement, computer programmer
refers to individuals whose main job function is programming; this group has
a wide range of responsibilities and educational backgrounds.
Computer programs tell the computer what to do, such as which information to identify and access, how to process it, and what equipment to use. Programs vary widely depending upon the type of information to be accessed or generated. For example, the instructions involved in updating financial records are very different from those required to duplicate conditions on board an aircraft for pilots training in a flight simulator. Although simple programs can be written in a few hours, programs that use complex mathematical formulas, whose solutions can only be approximated, or that draw data from many existing systems, may require more than a year of work. In most cases, several programmers work together as a team under a senior programmer's supervision.
Programmers write programs according to the specifications determined primarily by computer software engineers and system analysts. After the design process is complete, it is the job of the programmer to convert that design into a logical series of instructions that the computer can follow. They then code these instructions in a conventional programming language, such as COBOL; an artificial intelligence language, such as Prolog; or one of the most advanced object-oriented languages such as Java, C++, or Smalltalk. Different programming languages are used depending on the purpose of the program. COBOL, for example, is commonly used for business applications, whereas Fortran (short for "formula translation") is used in science and engineering. C++ is widely used for both scientific and business applications. Programmers generally know more than one programming language; and since many languages are similar, they often can learn new languages relatively easily. In practice, programmers often are referred to by the language they know, such as Java programmers, or the type of function they perform or environment in which they work, such as database programmers, mainframe programmers, or Internet programmers.
Many programmers update, repair, modify, and expand existing programs. When making changes to a section of code, called a routine, programmers need to make other users aware of the task the routine is to perform. They do this by inserting comments in the coded instructions, so others can understand the program. Many programmers use computer-assisted software engineering (CASE) tools to automate much of the coding process. These tools enable a programmer to concentrate on writing the unique parts of the program, because the tools automate various pieces of the program being built. CASE tools generate whole sections of code automatically, rather than line by line. This also yields more reliable and consistent programs and increases programmers' productivity by eliminating some routine steps.
Programmers test a program by running it, to ensure the instructions are correct and it produces the desired information. If errors do occur, the programmer must make the appropriate change and recheck the program until it produces the correct results. This process is called debugging. Programmers may continue to fix these problems throughout the life of a program. Programmers working in a mainframe environment may prepare instructions for a computer operator who will run the program. They also may contribute to a manual for users.
Programmers often are grouped into two broad types—applications programmers and systems programmers. Applications programmers write programs to handle a specific job, such as a program to track inventory, within an organization. They may also revise existing packaged software. Systems programmers, on the other hand, write programs to maintain and control computer systems software, such as operating systems, networked systems, and database systems. These workers make changes in the sets of instructions that determine how the network, workstations, and central processing unit of the system handle the various jobs they have been given and how they communicate with peripheral equipment, such as terminals, printers, and disk drives. Because of their knowledge of the entire computer system, systems programmers often help applications programmers determine the source of problems that may occur with their programs.
Programmers in software development companies may work directly with experts from various fields to create software—either programs designed for specific clients or packaged software for general use—ranging from games and educational software to programs for desktop publishing, financial planning, and spreadsheets. Much of this type of programming is in the preparation of packaged software, which comprises one of the most rapidly growing segments of the computer services industry.
In some organizations, particularly small ones, workers commonly known as programmer-analysts are responsible for both the systems analysis and the actual programming work. Advanced programming languages and new object-oriented programming capabilities are increasing the efficiency and productivity of both programmers and users. The transition from a mainframe environment to one that is primarily personal computer (PC) based has blurred the once rigid distinction between the programmer and the user. Increasingly, adept end-users are taking over many of the tasks previously performed by programmers. For example, the growing use of packaged software, like spreadsheet and database management software packages, allows users to write simple programs to access data and perform calculations.
Working Conditions
Programmers generally work in offices in
comfortable surroundings. Many programmers may work long hours or weekends,
to meet deadlines or fix critical problems that occur during off hours.
Given the technology available, telecommuting is becoming common for a wide
range of computer professionals—including computer programmers. As computer
networks expand, more programmers are able to connect to a customer's computer
system remotely to make corrections or fix problems, using modems, e-mail, and
the Internet.
Like other workers who spend long periods of time in front of a computer terminal typing at a keyboard, programmers are susceptible to eyestrain, back discomfort, and hand and wrist problems, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Computer programmers held about 475,000 jobs in 2009. Programmers are employed in almost every industry, but the largest concentration is in computer systems design and related services. Large numbers of programmers also work for telecommunications companies, software publishers, financial institutions, insurance carriers, educational institutions, and government agencies.
Many computer programmers are employed on a temporary or contract basis or work as independent consultants, providing companies expertise with new programming languages or specialized areas of application. Rather than hiring programmers as permanent employees and then laying them off after a job is completed, employers can contract with temporary help agencies, with consulting firms, or with programmers themselves. A marketing firm, for example, may require programming services only to write and debug the software necessary to get a new customer database running. Bringing in an independent contractor or consultant with experience in a new or advanced programming language enables the firm to complete the job without having to retrain existing workers. Such jobs may last anywhere from several weeks to a year or longer. There were 25,000 self-employed computer programmers in 2009.
Training, Qualifications, Adv.
While there are many training paths available for programmers, mainly because employers' needs are so varied, the level of education and experience employers seek has been rising, due to the growing number of qualified applicants and the specialization involved with most programming tasks. Bachelor's degrees are commonly required, although some programmers may qualify for certain jobs with 2-year degrees or certificates. Employers are primarily interested in programming knowledge, and computer programmers are able to get certified in a language such as C++ or Java. College graduates who are interested in changing careers or developing an area of expertise also may return to a 2-year community college or technical school for additional training. In the absence of a degree, substantial specialized experience or expertise may be needed. Even with a degree, employers appear to be placing more emphasis on previous experience, for all types of programmers.
Table 1. Highest level of school completed or degree received, computer programmers, 2009 | ||
Level | Percent | |
High school graduate or equivalent or less | 11.8 | |
Some college, no degree | 17.2 | |
Associate degree | 11.0 | |
Bachelor's degree | 47.4 | |
Graduate degree | 12.8 |
About 3 out of 5 computer programmers had a bachelor's degree or higher in 2009 (table 1). Of these, some hold a degree in computer science, mathematics, or information systems, whereas others have taken special courses in computer programming to supplement their study in fields such as accounting, inventory control, or other areas of business. As the level of education and training required by employers continues to rise, this proportion should increase in the future.
Required skills vary from job to job, but the demand for various skills generally is driven by changes in technology. Employers using computers for scientific or engineering applications usually prefer college graduates who have degrees in computer or information science, mathematics, engineering, or the physical sciences. Graduate degrees in related fields are required for some jobs. Employers who use computers for business applications prefer to hire people who have had college courses in management information systems (MIS) and business and who possess strong programming skills. Although knowledge of traditional languages still is important, increasing emphasis is placed on newer, object-oriented programming languages and tools, such as C++ and Java. Additionally, employers are seeking persons familiar with fourth and fifth generation languages that involve graphic user interface (GUI) and systems programming. Employers also prefer applicants who have general business skills and experience related to the operations of the firm. Students can improve their employment prospects by participating in a college work-study program or by undertaking an internship.
Most systems programmers hold a 4-year degree in computer science. Extensive knowledge of a variety of operating systems is essential. This includes being able to configure an operating system to work with different types of hardware and adapting the operating system to best meet the needs of a particular organization. Systems programmers also must be able to work with database systems, such as DB2, Oracle, or Sybase, for example.
When hiring programmers, employers look for people with the necessary programming skills who can think logically and pay close attention to detail. The job calls for patience, persistence, and the ability to work on exacting analytical work, especially under pressure. Ingenuity and imagination also are particularly important, when programmers design solutions and test their work for potential failures. The ability to work with abstract concepts and to do technical analysis is especially important for systems programmers, because they work with the software that controls the computer's operation. Because programmers are expected to work in teams and interact directly with users, employers want programmers who are able to communicate with nontechnical personnel.
Entry-level or junior programmers may work alone on simple assignments after some initial instruction or on a team with more experienced programmers. Either way, beginning programmers generally must work under close supervision. Because technology changes so rapidly, programmers must continuously update their training by taking courses sponsored by their employer or software vendors.
For skilled workers who keep up to date with the latest technology, the prospects for advancement are good. In large organizations, programmers may be promoted to lead programmer and be given supervisory responsibilities. Some applications programmers may move into systems programming after they gain experience and take courses in systems software. With general business experience, programmers may become programmer analysts or systems analysts or be promoted to a managerial position. Other programmers, with specialized knowledge and experience with a language or operating system, may work in research and development areas, such as multimedia or Internet technology. As employers increasingly contract out programming jobs, more opportunities should arise for experienced programmers with expertise in a specific area to work as consultants.
Technical or professional certification is a way to demonstrate a level of competency or quality. In addition to language-specific certificates that a programmer can obtain, product vendors or software firms also offer certification and may require professionals who work with their products to be certified. Voluntary certification also is available through other organizations. Professional certification may provide a job seeker a competitive advantage.
Employment of programmers, however, is expected to grow much slower than that of other computer specialists. With the rapid gains in technology, sophisticated computer software now has the capability to write basic code, eliminating the need for more programmers to do this routine work. The consolidation and centralization of systems and applications, developments in packaged software, advanced programming languages and tools, and the growing ability of users to design, write, and implement more of their own programs means more of the programming functions can be transferred to other types of workers. As the level of technological innovation and sophistication increases, programmers should continue to face increasing competition from programming businesses overseas where much routine work can be contracted out at a lower cost. Nevertheless, employers will continue to need programmers who have strong technical skills and who understand an employer's business and its programming needs. This will mean that programmers will need to keep up with changing programming languages and techniques. Given the importance of networking and the expansion of client/server environments and web- based environments, organizations will look for programmers who can support data communications and help implement electronic commerce and intranet strategies. Demand for programmers with strong object-oriented programming capabilities and technical specialization in areas such as client/server programming, multimedia technology, and graphic user interface (GUI), should arise from the expansion of intranets, extranets, and Internet applications. Programmers also will be needed to create and maintain expert systems and embed these technologies in more and more products. As programming tasks become increasingly sophisticated and an additional level of skill and experience is demanded by employers, graduates of 2-year programs and people with less than a 2-year degree or its equivalent in work experience should face strong competition for programming jobs. Competition for entry-level positions, however, also can affect applicants with a bachelor's degree. Prospects should be best for college graduates with knowledge of, and experience working with, a variety of programming languages and tools—including C++ and other object-oriented languages like Java, as well as newer, domain-specific languages that apply to computer networking, data base management, and Internet application development. Obtaining vendor or language specific certification also can provide a competitive edge. Because demand fluctuates with employers' needs, job seekers should keep up to date with the latest skills and technologies. Individuals who want to become programmers can enhance their prospects by combining the appropriate formal training with practical work experience. Job Outlook
Employment of programmers is expected to for all occupations through 2010
Median annual earnings of computer programmers were $62,890 in May 2009. The middle 50 percent earned between $47,580 and $81,280 a year.

Project: Relationship between socioeconomic and biophysical processes in coastal marine ecosystems of Baja California-NSF-Linking Human and biophysical processes in marine coastal ecosystems of Baja California
The project was designed to better understand the factors behind the performance of coastal fisheries located along the Pacific coast in Baja California Sur. The performance will be evaluated in terms of fisheries productivity, economic yield, sustainability of communities and human activities, and the persistence of marine populations and ecosystems.
The project will specifically study the role that environmental variability (including variation in oceanographic conditions, variation in the natural environment and in history and organization of fishery communities) plays within fisheries performance, how these factors vary through space and time, and which fishery management systems can be better.
Research includes the development of different ecological and economical models; history review of the settlers and how they have related to fishing, and the gathering of new ecological and ethnographical information of the fishery communities located along the Pacific coast in Baja California Sur from the north of Bahía Sebastián Vizcaíno up to Bahía Magdalena.
Several Mexican and North American institutions participate in this project with particular functions and capabilities. The project allows us to develop human resources as graduate students in disciplines such as economy, ecology, and human ecology, besides exploring possible consequences of environmental changes (as climate change) and different management strategies and regulations (as the certification of lobster fishery in the Vizcaino peninsula performed by the Marine Stewardship Council) in this system.
With this project we will collaborate with the strategic objectives of the line of research by:

Hi everybody, remember, we are meeting on the last Wednesday of the month, that means August 31st! Hope to see you there to talk about Dorothy Allison's Bastard Out of Carolina.
A few discussion questions for you to consider between now and then...
1. Bone is nicknamed when, at birth, her "Uncle Earle announced that I was 'no bigger than a knucklebone.'" In what way does this name come to define her character? Does it reflect on her life in any way other than her size?
2. When Bone is born, Anney is fifteen, dirt poor, and unmarried. With so many obstacles, why is she so focused on Bone's birth certificate, which no one but her will see? How does she pass this preoccupation on to Bone?
3. Bone's identity as a female shifts tremendously throughout the book. She worships her uncles and takes pride in being a tomboy. Yet, on page 91 she says, "I liked being one of the women with my aunts, liked being a part of something nasty and strong and separate from my big rough boy-cousins and the whole world of spitting, growling, overbearing males." How does gender play a role in the book? How does Bone's relationship with other characters in the book shape her conception of her own gender?
4. In the middle of the book, Bone suddenly becomes quite religious. On page 150 she claims, "I became fascinated with the idea of being saved, not just welcoming Jesus into my heart but the seriousness of the struggle between salvation and damnation, between good and evil, life and death." What do you think inspires this newfound fanaticism? How do her religious feelings relate to her relationship with Daddy Glen? With her feelings of illegitimacy?
5. The issue of race is consistently present on the periphery of the book. At certain points, Bone shows particular interest in black people. For example, on page 83, when her Aunt Alma moves into an apartment building downtown, Bone becomes fascinated by one of the black children living below her relatives. Similarly, Bone and Shannon Pearl's fight on page 170 is provoked by Bone's anger at Shannon's family's racism. Why is race so important to Bone? How does race play a part in her own identity as a white person? As an illegitimate child?
6. In Greenville County, it is clear that family means something different than the traditional "nuclear" family. Bone's aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandmother all have distinct roles in the book. How do they each contribute to Bone's upbringing? How do you think Bone would define family?
7. On page 300, Raylene says: "Bone, no woman can stand to choose between her baby and her lover, between her child and her husband." How does this quote come to define Bone's family? In what ways throughout the book are Anney's loyalties tested?
8. Allison says writing her most terrible stories gives her power over the experiences. Considering Allison doesn't hide that much of the book is autobiographical, does that change your reading of it?
9. A reviewer says "If Bastard Out of Carolina sharply affects many readers because of the swell of truth behind the characters and their actions, that is partially Allison's intention." Did it affect you?
10. Most of the people around them view the Boatwrights as useless and shiftless. How do you think this affected Bone and her mother?

Harold Named to WWPA All-Academic Team
June 27, 2011 LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Air Force water polo player Danny Harold (Corona Del Mar, Calif.) has been named to the Western Water Polo Association All-Academic team, as announced by the league today. Harold earns the honor for the second consecutive season. A total of 113 student-athletes (men and women) were named to the 2010-11 WWPA All-Academic teams. The teams consist of members who carried a 3.0 cumulative GPA (on a 4.0 scale), played in at least 50 percent of the team's contests during the season, and were classified as a full-time student who has completed a minimum of one semester of two quarters at his/her institution. Harold, a rising senior, Harold holds a 3.36 GPA as an electrical engineering major. The Falcons' backup goalkeeper in 2010, Harold registered 64 saves over the season, along with five steals and two assists. Since 1989, Air Force has had 43 different players earn a total of 81 WWPA All-Academic honors, including three who were four-time honorees.

Pelosi Takes the Heat on DrillingPosted on Aug 5, 2008
According to the Politico, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has given her blessing to vulnerable Democrats to rebel against the party's position on offshore drilling. The strategy goes something like this: Pelosi plays the liberal from San Francisco while representatives of more conservative districts berate her. With a majority intact, the Democrats push through a comprehensive energy policy sometime in 2009. Advertisement New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

"Planted" sermon series begins June 24th
Human life began in a garden. Adam literally sprang to life out of the dirt! His mission was to be fruitful and multiply on the earth (grow a family for God). As well, he was commissioned to tend the garden God had placed him in, to care for it and ensure its fruitfulness. From the creation story, we learn that life is about growth. Today, however, we don't often view our lives as being organic in nature. We are much more familiar with the language of technology and machines. We tend to view our brains as computers and our bodies as machines. Needless to say, this has had great implications on how we define our lives as human beings. Join us at Westside this summer as we deconstruct these mechanical narratives and return to the original story. This is a story that begins in a garden. Let's get planted!
Here's some of the themes we will be exploring in this series:
- "It all began in the Garden"
- "The Parable of the Sower"
- "The Parable of the Mustard Seed"
- "The Vine and the Branches"
- "Planted by Streams of Water"
- "Kernal of Wheat"
- "The Wheat and the Tares"
- "Sowing and Reaping"

Back in January, Paul McCartney—yes, the former Beatle—said he was working on music for an unnamed video game
Marathon, the classic FPS series that made Bungie kinda-famous before Halo made them really famous, has been modernised and brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century. You can get 'em on PC, Mac & Linux. For free. [Aleph One]
Aside from making us all hungry, commenter FortWaba shares with us the supplies he needs to make it through a video game all-nighter. What food and drink fuels your power-gaming sessions? Bring enough to share in today;s Speak Up on Kotaku.
One week ago Bungie filed a new trademark application for Marathon, the FPS superstar of Mac gaming's brief apogee during the mid- to late-1990s. There are few details beyond that but the paperwork's enough to stoke fantasies of a reboot.
As Bungie works to finish up what they say will be the best Halo game ever produced

Annette LeSiege
Rockland — Annette LeSiege, an accomplished classical composer with more than 70 published pieces to her credit, died Aug. 26, 2012, in Marina, Calif. Born in Oakland, Calif., to Armand and Mabel LeSiege, Annette was raised in Sunnyvale, Calif., with the devoted attention of her stepfather Raymond Phelps, after the death of her birth father. She earned a masters degree in composition from San Jose State and a doctorate from Eastman School of Music. Many of her compositions were commissioned and have been performed throughout the United States and abroad. During her distinguished career, she was a tenured professor at Wake Forest University, managing director of the Symphony for United Nations, development officer at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, chairman of the Department of Music at Santa Catalina School, sought-after guest lecturer, and assistant dean and associate professor at New Jersey City University. After retiring from NJCU in 2009, Dr. LeSiege was named Professor Emerita in recognition of her exemplary accomplishments, character, and life. Beloved by her students and respected by her colleagues, she consistently exhibited integrity of purpose, collaborative spirit, intelligence, professionalism, and collegiality.
In addition to her many professional accomplishments, Annette was an active supporter of the arts, most recently in her adopted community of Rockland. She will be remembered as a generous, creative, thoughtful, intelligent, and committed person.
Annette loved life and encouraged her friends, family, colleagues, and students to do the same. She perceived life to be God's good gift and relished feasting, celebrating, and embracing life in the company of others. She playfully and skillfully inspired students to create art, arranged musical notes into unique compositions, transformed ordinary ingredients into sumptuous meals, and shared the challenge to look, listen, taste, and learn from life's richness with her cherished friends and family.
Two celebrations of her life will be held: One at New Jersey City University on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 3 p.m. and another at 1st Presbyterian Church of Monterey on Jan. 20, 2013 at 3 p.m. Gifts in memory of her may be sent to New Jersey City University Foundation (specify for the Music, Dance and Theater Department).

Agony From Ecstasy
by Lynn Smith
I grew up in a small, rural town in Pennsylvania. It's one of those places where everyone knows your name, what you did, what you ate and so on. They certainly knew me – I was a straight-A student involved in many school activities. I was one of the popular kids, liked by all the different crowds, involved in homecoming, regularly cast in school theater productions. Drugs never played a part in my life. They were never a question – I was too involved and focused on other things.
I always dreamed of moving to New York City to study acting and pursue a career in theater. My dream came true when my mom brought me to the city to attend acting school. As you can imagine, it was quite a change from home.
I was exposed to new people, new ideas and a completely new way of life – a way of life that exposed me to drugs. Most of the people that I met and spent time with in acting school had already been doing drugs for years. I guess I felt that by using drugs, I would become a part of their world and it would deepen my friendships with them to new levels. I tried pot, even a little Cocaine , but it was Ecstasy that changed my life forever.

Ela Soroka is a news anchor and reporter with KTVO.
KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- It's the age old question, why did the chicken cross the road? Well in this case, to get to science class!
You heard right, they are part of a month long project taking place in Lisa Findling's 8th grade science class at Kirksville Middle School.
The kids are testing the intelligence of five different kinds of birds: chicken, geese, turkey, ducks and pheasants.
Findling along with another teacher started up this interesting project last year. During class the students team up, build a maze and then log their observation with watching each bird try and go through the maze.
"We just thought what better way to keep the kids active at the end of the school year, not only are they learning but they're having fun too," Findling said. "It's a hands on project, the students can actively build something and see the result of something that they put their own hard work into."
And student's seem to agree.
"I think every teacher should do this because it really is fun for the kids and we learn stuff and it keeps us active so that kind of works best," said eighth grader Tori Stevens.
The project started the first week of May and will continue until the end of the school year and so far according to Findling, the birds are the center of attention for her students.
"They want to make sure the birds are ok, that's their number one priority they just love it," said Findling.
and students say they can't get enough of them.
"I definitely like handling the chickens and the other birds," said eighth grader Matthew Tenpenny.
"The chickens and the birds are so cute because they are so small and tiny and we get to see how they interact with other people and so far they are very squeamish and they don't want to be around us," Stevens said.
And just in case you were wondering, the chicken was able to cross the road because its the most intelligent out of the five birds in the experiment.

Attachment 33904Tthousand Apprciation-The Unsung hero of the GTA IV forumAttachment 33904
Attachment 33905
This all started with one thread. GTA IV cool n sexy, now I know that this game has never been this cool or this sexy(especially with the newest member Three-Socks totally sick mods). It seemed like I was carrying Ps3 GTA IV mods on my back for years. Pavel and I shared our advancements and outta nowhere came Evil with his Evil mods. After that we were blessed with JDMAlex's presence(after his ban from 7 sins?!). That was the moment everything was destined for the stars.
Soon after, I sent a transmission to tthuosand who answered the distress signal. We were in distress, unwanted by se7en sins we had no real place to call home.
This was all his idea. The forum and Psxscene giving us Dev status is all thanks to master tthou.
His contributions do not end there. He continues to support us by writing front page stories aboot our mods and creating some wicked lookin artwork.
Drop by and show some luv to master Tthousand, without him none of this would have existed. He is really the leader and first member of the crew.

Just had a courier come and deliver my pledge rewards! I won't get a chance to go through them carefully today, but it's all very exciting - can't wait to break it out with a friend!
Creator Ryan W. Soltis on December 16, 2012
I have added a new article to the website about the sub-deck. You can read it here...
Other than the sub-deck, what other parts are hard to understand? Let me know so I can address them right away!
Creator Magentawolf on December 15, 2012
I'm curious - Is there a more complete set of rules then the single double-sided page that came with the package?
There are many items that are poorly spelled out, or not discussed at all such as the Sub-Deck.
Creator Ryan W. Soltis on November 6, 2012
There has not been a survey yet. We plan to do that in about a week or two when we're just about to send. So don't worry, we know people move and several have already contacted me about it as well.
Creator Marcus Rush on November 5, 2012
There hasn't been a survey or anything with addresses yet has there? I've moved a couple times and am now feeling the pain of not know if stuff will show up or not.
Creator Ben Whelan on July 11, 2012
Great, thanks for the quick reply - I'll look forward to seeing how it's going.
Creator A Eiraku on July 11, 2012
Hah, I was just thinking about asking that myself.
Creator Ryan W. Soltis on July 11, 2012
It's about time someone asked that question. I've been lazy on showing updates but focusing more on just work work work with trying to get it all done I need to put a day aside and show you guys exactly what we've been up too. I'm very exciting and I know you will be too. I'll get some pictures ready so expect an update this Friday.
Creator Ben Whelan on July 10, 2012
Just curious, is there any update on how things are progressing? I'm eager to get my mitts on the game!
Creator Ben Whelan on May 22, 2012
Congratulations on the funding! I can't wait to get my hands on the game - I really like the original artwork, and after watching videos of the gameplay I couldn't resist!
Creator Ryan W. Soltis on May 21, 2012
Everyone's opinion matters and we are using the original just to be clear. We might be creating print-and-play alternate art cards later though so those could still be used as well if people really want them. And thanks again everyone!
Creator John Larson on May 20, 2012
In case it matters I also prefer the more anime like artwork over the proposed replacement higher quality artwork.
Creator Mason Zedaker on May 20, 2012
Congrats on the funding!
Creator Hawes Bert on May 18, 2012
Congrats for getting to your goal, i cant wait to try it out with the family and friends!
Creator Matthew Pekelny on May 18, 2012
Congrats on reaching the goal. Can't wait to give the game a try.
Creator Hawes Bert on May 18, 2012
If we can get at least 6 of the people who were in the $100 pledge to jump up to the $150 pledge this will get the game over the finish line. Think about it for $50 you get 2x the game that means even more fun for you and your friends. Promote the game, to your friends see if we can get this over the goal!
Creator Kersplackle on May 17, 2012
Wow, if you guys put the new art way before I think more people would have noticed this project.
Creator gbreden on May 15, 2012
Your art is good (way better than I could do, for instance) -- but -- the professional art is MUCH better. Would love to see more of it.
Creator Ryan W. Soltis on May 3, 2012
Thanks for the nice comments guys.
Creator Kersplackle on May 1, 2012
I'd love to see this game get the art that it deserves. COME ON PEOPLE :D

Unusually hectic lifestyle of today, people are always on the road. Career women are juggling their time between work and family members, men are more persistent and lead to climb the ladder of business, and businesses need innovative and unique to stay ahead of the competition.
But despite the world becomes more intense, we have today, there are certain aspects of life that never seem to grow out of fashion. Take the business of the industry, for example. Even with the growth of digital technology, it seems hard to let go of the old practice.
But the stiff competition these days, the old, boring business card will not help you, market you want to achieve. Remember, if you decide to go for cards, digital maps make sure it is difficult for you to get the attention of today get the market with strong focus on technology. Fortunately, there are several ways to make a paper map competitive business. Here are the guidelines for optimizing the elements of your cards:
REVIEW OF THE FORM. Often overlooked elements of a business card, the card will form a lasting impression for help. Nobody can really produce a map which has the shape of a car or mounted in a robot. A card of irregular shape will make you stand out from your competitors. In unconventional, you can be sure to get forgotten by the people.
It is important to have a document that many things about you and your company to pick Sun There are many types of paper today. You can go for recycling paper, you'll be happy to give a picture or a paper that ecologists use the seeds, when irrigated rose in a flower. If you have enough budgets, you can try cards, metal or wood. But if you have a tight budget, you can play with cheap business cards custom designed on paper labels, one on the postcards or letters to communicate before he can hold on.
Besides the creation of a single card, it helps people to remember when you tell your story better card. For example, you might consider different images on each of your cards. Some may get an image of your company, others a picture of your favorite foods. Just no pictures, people who you really are and what you do not tell. And when you get your hands on the maps, all your creations on the table and let them choose which one they prefer. Then tell the story of the photo on the card they printed the cover. It's really amazing what you can do a small photo and story to have a lasting impact, think about your history in the design of your cards. And stop thinking like a professional in the design of your card. Use images to give your business to life.
Business is not all austerity and privation. Does what you love should be exciting and fun. So, use your card to tell people your enthusiasm for your business and your personality to shine through it.

Welcome to the November edition of e-xpressions. This month we've had a bumper crop of new stories on our website:
- Focus Service: Sheffield Chuch, a church for people with learning difficulties;
- Stillpoint, a collection of resources and spaces in Oxford for those attracted to the contemplative tradition;
- A church being rebuilt around a community project in Willington Quay;
- St Christopher's, church in a school in Leicester;
- and we learn when to stop at the 3:08, Nailsea.
There's more on learning from failure at the 3:08 on November's podcast, as well as Visions in the crypt at York Minster and some thoughts on discipleship from the Brierley Hill Project.
There's no such thing as failsafe!
A risk-free existence can look very attractive for a while. Although the fine line between risk-free and unbearably boring is easily crossed. But those who want risk-free should never become Christians. To follow Jesus means risking all to follow him. I was recently reminded that the Church of Scotland report 'Church Without Walls' says that the essence of church is 'People with Jesus at the centre, traveling wherever Jesus takes us.' The whole fresh expressions initiative is about allowing Jesus to take us to those whom our existing churches do not reach, and working with him, as he forms a new group of people, who are willing to go wherever he takes them. That inevitably involves risk.
All churches and congregations are 'expressions of church'. Christ is fully present wherever two or three (or 25 on a cold Autumn morning) gather in his name. But no church fully and maturely expresses Christ. Each has a capacity to mature and each needs to be complemented by others. The risky thing about inherited expressions of church is that we know how to do them, and sometimes fail to take new risks for God. The risky thing about planting a fresh expression of church is that we are only just beginning to learn how to do them, and will need to learn from our mistakes. It is hard to be part of something that does not live up to our hopes and expectations, or to discover that a venture is not as easy as it seemed to be in advance. It is painful to realise, too late, that we have made a mistake. But without some failures we will never learn a better way.
Saying, 'I wish I had known that earlier' may be exasperating, but it is a vital part of the way we learn. The disciples' journey with Jesus was full of getting things wrong and (sometimes) learning from mistakes. That is how he formed them for their mission 'to the ends of the earth' and that is the way he will form us.
There is no guarantee that we will succeed, but we will never succeed if we are not willing to try. God is faithful but there is no such thing as failsafe, in fresh expressions or any other aspect of discipleship. Whether our early attempts at planting fresh expressions work out as we hope, or not, lets stay on the learning curve together.
There's more about trial and error on the creative experimentation page of Share.
First Bishop's Mission Order
The first Bishop's Mission Order in England, formally authorising a fresh expression of church, was signed on 8 November by the Bishop of Exeter, the Rt Revd Michael Langrish. The Order was made for Exeter Network Church, a thriving 300-strong group of Christians who meet at a school in the city. It authorises the new Church as being within the Church of England, but outside the parish system.
Mission Orders were only approved by General Synod last year and each one will be different, written according to the particular requirements and goals of the fresh expression of church.
Though the church will pay a contribution towards the Common Fund which pays for the work of the diocese, and its priest will answer to the Bishop, the Exeter Network Church will operate above and across normal parish boundaries. The Order will run for five years, when it will be reviewed. Find out more in the full media release.
Sanctus - new DVD
Our new DVD, Sanctus: fresh expressions of church in the sacramental tradition, is out now. Featuring a keynote address by the Archbishop of Canterbury from 2008's national day of pilgrimage to Coventry Cathedral, the DVD has seven stories of sacramental or contemplative fresh expressions: Visions, Moot, Critical Mass, Glorious, Contemplative Fire, feig and Blessed.
See for yourself exciting ways in which worship can be real and total; something not just thought about, but seen, and head, and touched and smelt - an experience that envelops all our senses.
Very Revd Richard Giles, Liturgical Consultant
Sanctus costs £12 and is available from our online shop.
Stop press: Our new interactive DVD-ROM, mission shaped congregations, is released at the end of this month. More details in next' month's e-xpressions.
The 308 Nailsea story mentioned above is about a fresh expression that failed and decided to call it a day. Sometimes risk leads to failure, but we can learn from our mistakes. There is a page on the Share website purely for this reason. If you want to read other people's honest admissions of failure, or share a story of your own, go to the Your stories - things to learn from page.
The sister page to this is a place to leave success stories. Again, to read other people's posts, or to leave a comment yourself, go to the Your stories – things that went well page.
The Share discipleship section is recommended in the Brierley Hill Project section of the November Fresh Expressions podcast. For more than a dozen detailed pages on discipleship, with principles, resources and practical advice, find out How might we encourage discipleship?.
What's on
You can find all of our forthcoming vision days, msm course starts and other relevant events in the calendar on our training and events page.
Our next vision day is in Chelmsford on the 28th November and if you would like to see a vision day in your area, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, is to be the keynote speaker at a national event in Lincoln which will focus on the long-term development of fresh expressions of church. Changing the landscape: fresh expressions and the long term takes place on 5th March 2010 and you can book places now.
And finally
Apologies for the difficulties with last month's e-xpressions. We have fixed the problem and there shouldn't be a repeat (famous last words...) - thank you for bearing with us. You can always view the latest issue online.
See you again next month,
The Fresh Expressions team.

Saugatuck Fishing Report -5/29/11 |
Fishing off of Saugatuck was good to excellent over the weekend. Very nice catches 15+ fish on Friday with a lot of action, then a little slower on Saturday. Early in the week the fish averaged 12 pounds, however by the weekend the fish ran a 7 to 10 pounds average. Same place, same depth, same lures, just a different age class of fish. Fish were in 110-180 FOW, and were caught 20-60 feet down. 100, 200, and 300 copper lines were the best with stinger and sting ray spoons. Stingers and sting rays were also producing on the downriggers 30-60 feet down, and on the divers 150 and 100 feet with wire. Best spoons: mixed veggies, jager bomb, blue modified dolphin, green dolphin, caramel dolphin, orange crush (on silver or gold), and the lemon-ice. Very little action on flashers and flies. We're hoping for a little west wind to stack the warm water back up on the beach. This will concentrate the temperature break and the fish. |

Our interests lie in both tropical and midlatitude weather phenomena, with cutting-edge research on topics such as mesoscale convective systems, monsoon convection, extreme precipitation events, and various aspects of tropical dynamics and convection. A major emphasis lies in observational analyses of data from field programs and operational datasets. Field programs that students and staff have participated in include TOGA-COARE (1992-93), SCSMEX (1998), NAME (2004), TIMREX (2008), SOWMEX (2009), and DYNAMO (2011-12). Motivated by observational findings, we also carry out theoretical and modeling studies to better understand the physical processes involved in the various phenomena. Our ultimate goal is to improve understanding and prediction of weather on both short and long-term time scales. |

Odyssey Set To Provide Comm Link For 2003 Rover
A collective sigh of relief could be heard around the corridors of Cornell University's Space Sciences Building late Tuesday night when the Mars Odyssey spacecraft went into orbit around Mars. The main reason for the jubilation: The small robotic spacecraft will be the key communications link for the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission in 2003. "Everything went perfectly, and this is fabulous news for the Rover program," says Cornell Professor of Astronomy Steven W. Squyres, who has a leading role in both NASA's Odyssey and Rover missions. He is a member of the science team for the gamma ray spectrometer (GRS), one of three instruments carried by the Odyssey. And he is principal investigator, or leader, of the larger international team that is developing the Athena science package to be carried by the two Rover vehicles during their planned exploration of the red planet in 2004. If the $300 million Odyssey mission had failed, the Rover program could have been seriously hampered, perhaps even jeopardized. That is because the two exploration vehicles would have had only the aging Global Surveyor spacecraft, which went into Mars orbit in September 1997, to provide communications with Earth. Now the two Rovers will be able to upload data -- in such areas as the mineral and element composition of rocks and soils -- to a state-of-the art communications package. The Odyssey relay antenna will then transmit the data to Cornell's Space Sciences Building. Squyres has been associated with the gamma ray spectrometer instrument package on board Odyssey since 1986, well before the Mars Rover program was planned. However, the original landing of a single Rover was planned for this year, to coincide with the Odyssey mission, but was canceled by NASA. The $700 million MER mission was announced by the space agency in August last year, with launches planned for May and June, 2003, and landings on the planet for Jan. 4 and 5, 2004. Although the Odyssey's GRS will play an important role in determining the elements that make up the Martian surface, measuring the abundance and distribution of about 20 primary elements, Squyres does not expect the instrument to play a role in picking the landing sites for the two Rovers. However, another Odyssey instrument, THEMIS (thermal emission imaging system), is expected to provide data on minerals in soils and rocks that will aid understanding of the four potential landing sites chosen for the Rovers at a recent meeting at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif. The sites were chosen on the basis of images from Global Surveyor and are areas where there is the best evidence possible that water was once present on the surface. Squyres describes the four sites as "fabulous," and says that the two final sites will be selected within six months. The planning for the two Rovers, each a 300-pound mobile laboratory, is intense. Says Squyres, "The payload is going well. The schedule, overall, is tight. But we are going to make it." A critical interpretation of the Odyssey GRS data also will be carried out at Cornell by graduate student Amena Siddiqi who is writing her doctoral thesis on the likely sources of ice on Mars. It is known that ice exists in the Martian polar regions, but it is not known if there is ice beneath the soil in other latitudes. The GRS can actually see through the planet's soil to deposits of ice below. Siddiqi, a British citizen who is a native of Pakistan, will use Odyssey data to develop maps that could show where the ice deposits exist. The Odyssey GRS team leader is William Boynton of the University of Arizona. Both the Odyssey mission and the 2003 Rover projects are managed by JPL.

With over 150 possible landing sites to choose, a final decision won't be easy, but BRuce Moomaw finds in his latest Mars report that at least one of the Rovers will be sent to an area increasingly known as the Meridiani Formation. |
