Climate Negotiations are over for another year with little progress in Doha by any one's measure as the scientific statements on climate change and the impacts we are already feeling as evidenced in record Arctic melting, and extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy and Typhoon Bopha in the Philippines, and Cyclone Evan in the South Pacific are growing much stronger. Some of the latest scientific research shows: Photos: Photos by World Resources Institute | Photos by Oxfam | The Verb: Climate March in Doha | The Verb: COP18 Actions BATTLE OF NOTRE-DAME-DES-LANDES: Megalomaniac Airport Project In Western France06.12.2012 08:38
During the weekend of 23-25 November, violent clashes occurred, as military police attacked activists and environmentalists on an area slated for an airport project in Notre-Dame-des-Landes – a village near Nantes, while riot police violently dispersed a support demonstration in the city. The events have forced major media and politicians to publicly admit that there is an issue. Economic growth driving Global Warming towards 6 degrees C27.11.2012 14:43
The earth's climate system is facing a global meltdown with carbon emissions steadily increasing and business as usual emissions projections on a path of 4 degrees C (7.2°F) of global warming by about the 2060s and 6 degrees C (10.8°F) of warming by the turn of the century, just 88 years hence, according to a scientific report - Turn Down the Heat - by the Postdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) (media release) done on behalf of the World Bank (media release). Some say the World Bank's call for slowing global warming ignores their own role. This report comes after Hurricane Sandy devastated island nations in the Caribbean before landing on the north east coast of the United States, providing a wakeup call on climate change just prior to the Presidential election. Also released this week, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) warned that Greenhouse Gas Emissions Gap Widening as Nations Head to Crucial Climate Talks in Doha, while the European Environment Agency has warned in a new report Climate change evident across Europe, confirming urgent need for adaptation. A recent Price WaterhouseCoopers report warned that Business as usual Carbon emissions heading towards 6°C (10.8°F) of global warming this century. So there is widespread agreement from science and scientists, energy experts and experts in global economics and accounting that we are facing a climate meltdown. The International Energy Agency warned in their 2011 World Energy Outlook report that we are on a 4-6 degree Celsius trajectory and that 80 percent of carbon emissions infrastructure has already been built and is in operation. We cannot afford to add any new carbon intensive infrastructure that will continue to pollute for 30-50 years, yet the World Resources Institute reveals nearly 1,200 Proposed Coal-Fired Power Plants, the majority in India and China. But grassroots action is having an impact: thousands rallied against coal across India, and a very first Arab Day of Climate Action (Photos) organised by the Arab Youth Climate Movement occurred on November 10. In the US, the Sierra Club reports victories in stopping the coal rush. A BUILDING IS NOT ENOUGH: Occupying a Skyscraper for Art19.05.2012 14:45
Hundreds of people are blocking a street in Milano protesting for the eviction of a skyscraper of 32 floors they were occupying. Torre Galfa, near Stazione Centrale, has been taken the 5 of May by Macao, a group of artists, video makers, journalists, immaterial workers to make a new arts center, to strengthen relationships between art and society and protest against abandoned buildings. Indybay Journalists Charged with Felony23.03.2012 20:09
Viewpoint Discrimination and Selective Prosecution at Work in Charges Against Independent Journalists Opposition growing to racially discriminatory intervention in Northern Territory Aboriginal Communities17.03.2012 11:31
Legislation is currently before the Australian Senate to extend the Northern Territory Emergency Response (often called just The Intervention) in 73 aboriginal indigenous communities for another 10 years. The intervention was instituted in 2007 by the conservative Howard Government claiming it was to stop domestic violence and child abuse in indigenous communities. But others like John Pilger claim it was a land grab, about mining or "smashing Aboriginal organisations, demonising Aboriginal people and forcing migration". It arose from the Northern Territory Government Inquiry into the Protection of Aboriginal Children from Sexual Abuse. Investigative journalist John Pilger has debunked the reason for The Intervention with statistics saying in 2010: "Out of 7433 Aboriginal children examined by doctors, 39 were referred to the authorities for suspected abuse. Of those, four possible cases have been identified. In other words, as Professor Alastair Nicholson, a former chief justice of the Family Court, has pointed out, this is no more than the rate of child abuse in white Australia." The Intervention was continued by the Rudd and Gillard Labor Governments. Initially supported by some aboriginal spokespeople, the top down intervention included extra policing in aboriginal communities, compulsory income management, compulsory acquisition of Aboriginal land, the assertion of extensive powers by the Commonwealth Government over Aboriginal communities, and alcohol and pornography restrictions in prescribed areas. It has been widely criticised as being inefficient, ineffective, has failed to delivered jobs to aboriginal people, racially discriminatory, a denial of fundamental human rights, that won't protect children. The initial Intervention legislation in 2007 entailed suspension of the Racial Discrimination Act and was strongly opposed by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. A 2008 action plan by HREOC to modify the intervention was effectively ignored. In 2009 a United Nations Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Human Rights, James Anaya, criticised Australia finding the Intervention to be a "racially discriminatory treatment of indigenous individuals and communities" and "incompatible with Australia's human rights obligations" (PDF report | Video News Report). In February 2012 a group of emminent Australians signed a Statement on Aboriginal Rights (PDF) for ending all discriminatory practices and opposing the extension of the Intervention. Recent consultations with aboriginal communities for the extension have been flawed and perfunctory at best, as evidenced by the Senate Hearing at Maningrida 22 February 2012 (Video). Indigenous people and communities in the Northern Territory are fighting for their freedom. Seven leaders from aboriginal communities where the NT Intervention is in place said in January 2012 'Enough is enough' in a video Joint Submission to the Senate Committee (video).

In a new study marine scientists have warn that the rate of ocean acidification presently occurring is unprecedented in the last 300 million years. This is due to dissolving carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, much of which human activity has contributed over the last 200 years through the use of fossil fuels. The extent and rate of acidification enhances the prospect for a mass marine extinction event this century. Research in paleoclimatology and oceanography has revealed that anthropogenic climate change is driving Ocean Acidification threatening marine ecosystems. Ocean acidification has been called the 'evil twin' of climate change with marine scientists warning climate negotiators in Durban of the necessity for climate mitigation action in December 2011, along with a statement on the IUCN website urging action to cut carbon emissions. New research in November 2011 from Australia's Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre showed the Southern ocean is warming and freshening. Marine scientists warn ocean acidification is already impacting marine food webs which will lead to substantial changes in commercial fish stocks, threatening protein supply and food security for millions of people. The Northwest Oyster Die-off from 2006-2008 in the USA highlights the growing impact on commercial fisheries. The United Nations Environment Program estimates that 3 billion people use fish protein in their diet, with one billion people dependent on subsistence fishing as a primary food source.

Thousands of people marched in the street in Italy on 18 february 2012, protesting against the arrest of 26 people who participated in the big demostrantions held in june and july against Tav project, the high speed train from Turin to Lion, which will cross Val Susa, Italy. No Tav has been protesting since 2003 against a train line which will cost a lot, is an environmental disaster, and is not useful because other lines are available, and only bolsters the builders business. Far from being a 'Not In My Backyard' (NIMBY) protest, Val di Susa invloves young, old people, families, even the mayors of the surrounding towns. And is shared by many people all over Italy. On 3rd july 60 thousand people, coming from all over Italy, marched to prevent the start of works and hinder the european founding previewed for the first tunnel. On 25th February there will be a national demonstration in Bussoleno, Val Susa, Italy.

Hello everybody!
I am comming back after a long period of sickness and have done quite
good progress in both muscle and strenght gains. I have regular contact
with a nutrion coach that checks my progress every month. Last time we discovered that my weight havent moved a thing for a month, despite of this
my strenght went up really well during this time. So i am a little worried that i sort of missed the muscle gains beacuse i just eat for maintainess?
The strenght gains that i already made maybe cant be used to build any muscles? I would be glad if you could answer me serious....
I am trying to go for lean gains, and the months before my i havent increased
my calorie intake so much, but gained some anyway. This time she put my on 200+ calories hope it will do the trick....

You can see my mood board for the wedding inspiration in image #2, and it shows you where I started and what I ended up with. I recommend doing a mood board for any big soiree that you might be planning out the decor for. Here are a few key pieces that helped create a cohesive look for the wedding:
- Burlap table cloths
- Zinc table numbers
- Mercury glass votives and flower vessels
- All white flowers
In the end, I did have a color palette, but it was a loose one mixed with various shades of white, grey, silver, green, and all-natural burlap. I'm not claiming that this won't look overdone and trendy in twenty years, but I was happy with how things turned out and in the end that is really all that matters.

For the past few years Geoffrey West, a physicist former president of SantaFe Institute has been calling for "a science of how city growth affects society and environment".
After years of focusing on scalability of cities and urban environments, West, is now is bringing "some of the powerful techniques, ideas, and paradigms developed in physics over into the biological and social sciences". He is looking at a bigger picture and asking the following question: "to what extent can biology and social organization (which are both quintessential complex adaptive systems) be put in a more quantitative, analytic, mathemitizable, predictive framework so that we can understand them in the way that we understand 'simple physical systems'?'

Caterpillar (CAT) reported quarterly earnings on Monday that fell, hurt by a big write-down in China.
The company reported earnings of $1.91 a share, excluding a write-down of 87 cents a share relating to a China holding. That compared to earnings of $2.32 a share in the year-earlier period.
Earlier this month, Caterpillar said it would take a massive charge of $580 million in the fourth quarter, after having to write off most of a Chinese deal that collapsed under fraud allegations.
Revenue fell to $16.08 billion from $17.24 billion during the same period last year.
Analysts had expected Caterpillar to report $16.13 billion in revenue, with earnings of $1.70 a share, according to a consensus estimate from Thomson Reuters.
The company also forecast full-year earnings of $7 to $9 a share, compared to analysts' estimates of about $8.54 a share.
The former chairman of a Chinese mining equipment firm bought by Caterpillar said on Monday he was dismayed by allegations of accounting misconduct at a subsidiary that prompted the U.S. firm to take a $580 million write-down. (Read more below the video interview with Caterpillar's CEO, Doug Oberhelman.)
(More from CNBC: US Facing Fresh Financial Shock to Economy)
Emory Williams Jr said Caterpillar had conducted extensive due diligence before its takeover of Hong Kong-listed ERA Mining Machinery last June, adding that he was seeking further details from the company, the world's largest maker of tractors and excavators.
"We were shocked and dismayed to learn, from press reports, about the very significant goodwill impairment that Caterpillar is taking in relation to the acquisition of ERA's subsidiary Siwei," Emory Williams Jr said in a statement.
CLARIFICATION: An earlier version of this story stated that earnings fell short of expectations. The company's earnings, including the China one-time charge, were above analysts' consensus.

The only thing at all interesting about Blindz0r's band is that the singer looks like Leonidas from 300 ("Madness?! This! Is! Canada!") Their generic deathcore should be challenging on drums, though.
Also, it seems absolutely pointless for somebody to post this, since few people on these forums follow hardcore players such as Blindz0r.

I won't get the EP. I like Blinz0r and all and think he's a fantastic drummer but it's just going to be another one of those generic metalcore bands that all teens try to play. My band was tempted to go in that direction but there's way too many of those bands. Indie or grunge is the way to go.

Tribesmen stand around firearms they put on the ground as part of a tribal arbitration to resolve a deadly feud that has erupted between two local tribes in the Khawlan area, about 40 km (25 miles) east of the Yemeni capital Sanaa February 16, 2013. Tribal arbitration and mediation provides an effective and widely-used means of conflict resolution in Yemen, which has an ingrained gun culture, and has the second highest rate of private gun ownership in 178 countries, according to a Small Arms Survey report published in 2007. As well as wearing curved daggers at their waist, it is not unusual for Yemeni men to carry AK-47 assault rifles, hunting rifles and pistols. Picture taken February 16, 2013.

If a biopic on Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn's relationship includes a sex scene in the middle of a shelling, it cannot be deemed a complete failure. The HBO original movie that premiered last week, "Hemingway and Gellhorn" makes some of the right moves and has a bright cast, but even if you have an interest in these writers, the movie's still merely passable.
Its heart is in the right place. By focusing on Martha Gellhorn, Hemingway's third wife who was herself an accomplished writer, you're telling the half of the story that ought to be told. At the breakout of the Spanish Civil War, Gellhorn meets Papa in Key West and accompanies him on the overseas assignment to Spain. She hooks up with Hemingway as a rival to the titan of letters, but as their romance sours, she eventually struggles to escape the titan's shadow.
Nicole Kidman does a terrific job with Gellhorn's maturation. Initially she's a spitfire war correspondent merely in it to prove her machismo; as she witnesses wartime atrocities, she's no longer drawn to conflict for the adrenaline rush but for the stories that need to be told. Consequently, Gellhorn finds her pissing matches with her famous lover to be less and less amusing.
I wouldn't wish Hemingway on any woman, so Gellhorn's understandably coming off the victim here. The movie is content to leave out her extramarital affair, among other blemishes, so some of that victimhood's deliberately manufactured.
Fightin' Round the World
It's hard to make Hemingway into a caricature. I disliked his portrayal in Midnight in Paris only because he was the figure most lazily reduced to a collection of quotes, not because he was exaggerated. Having Hemingway randomly leap from his seat and shout "Who wants to fight?"– that's not really an exaggeration.
Clive Owen's not a charismatic actor, and likewise this is a disappointingly uncharismatic Hemingway. The pieces to Papa's personality are there, from his grave sincerity to his boyishness to his shocking pettiness, but Owen can't quite coherently resolve them.
Interspliced within the film is authentic black-and-white wartime footage. When a period movie incorporates old film like this, it's normally sparing and between scenes. To accommodate these shots (which it uses a lot) Hemingway and Gellhorn drains its own film's color for transitions.
It doesn't work at all. Not only are these switches distractingly frequent and often pointless, the close-ups of Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen, no matter how grainy, aren't fooling anyone as archival. And you can't just insert them into iconic footage without the effect being laughable. What worked for Forrest Gump is pretty inadvisable here.
The last memorable bits to savor from this movie are the interesting supporting roles. Robert Duvall is a Soviet general, David Straithairn's a great John Dos Passos, Peter Coyote shows up as my hero, the legendary editor Max Perkins, and is that filmmaker guy the drummer from Metallica? (He is.)
Is the casting silly in places? Sure. But that's amusement I'll take in a movie that's otherwise underwhelming.

Astrid Lindgrens Näs Guided Tour
Another option is Museet Näktergalen, a petite 18th-century house with traditionally painted walls and ceilings.
Young children and Pippi Longstocking aficionados shouldn't miss Astrid Lindgrens Värld, on the northern edge of town. Actresses dressed as Pippi (complete with gravity-defying pigtails) sing and dance their way around the 100 buildings and settings from the books. Prices drop outside peak season, as there are fewer activities and theatre performances.
Facing Stora Torget is Vimmerby's helpful tourist office .
One very busy lunch spot is this bakery-cafe, with a wide choice of quiches, salads, baked potatoes and hot dishes.
Vimmerby is the birthplace of Astrid Lindgren; almost everything in town revolves around the strongest girl in the world – there's little escape! If you don't know whether Mr Nilsson is a horse or a monkey, Vimmerby Bokhandeln sells Pippi books in English.
Nearby you'll find Astrid Lindgrens Näs, a fascinating cultural centre set on the farm on which Lindgren grew up. There's a permanent exhibition about the writer's life – 'I write to still the child in myself' – and temporary exhibitions inspired by Lindgren's stories and legacy.
Aschanska Gården is an evocative 19th-century bourgeois house with guided tours at 1pm and 4pm daily July and August (Skr 50), as well as Christmas tours in December (Skr 60).
Known for its Greek specialities, as well as hearty pastas and thin-crust pizza.
With an outdoor terrace and views of dramatic Stora Torget, the place to go for cakes, crêpes and quiche is this old-school konditori (bakery-cafe).
Also central.
The Skurugata Nature Reserve, 13km northeast of Eksjö, is based around a peculiar 800m-long fissure in the rocks. Its sides tower to 56m, yet in places the fissure is only 7m wide. In times past, the ravine was believed to harbour trolls and thieves. The nearby hill of Skuruhatt (337m) offers impressive forest views. You'll need your own transport to get here.
Award-winning Eksjö Museum tells the town's story from the 15th century onward. The top floor is devoted to local Albert Engström (1869–1940), renowned for his burlesque, satirical cartoons. Eksjö was once known as the 'Hussar Town', and the region's long-standing military connections are also explored at the museum.
Lovely cakes and coffee at this quaint little shop on Storgatan.
Stroll through the town's delightful streets and yards, especially those north of Stora Torget. Check out the buildings at Fornminnesgårdens Museum; some were built in the 1620s. Exhibits chart the history of the area from the Stone Age to modern times.
Located centrally.
'Amasian' might be pushing it, but this modest East-meets-West joint does a decent, well-priced lunch buffet for those sick of meatballs and mash.
The tourist office can arrange English-language guided town tours . The hire of bicycles (Skr60/225 per day/week) and two-person tandems (Skr90/250) is also available.
Try some berry picking or just enjoy woodland tranquillity on the well-maintained Höglandsleden , which passes through the reserve; ask the tourist office for details of this walking trail and of the Höglandstrampen cycle route (laminated cycle cards cost Skr30).

Adopt an adult cat one year or older from either of these Placer County shelters and the Placer SPCA will refund adoption costs through its new Rebates for Rescues program.
A New Hope Animal Foundation is offering $50 off the adoption costs for black kittens. In addition, they are offering $50 or $75 off adoption costs for selected dogs at the county animal shelters.
Mike Winters, Placer County Animal Services Program Manager, said he is thrilled to have the support of these two non-profit animal welfare groups. "We have amazing animals waiting for loving homes, and if this encourages people to come and take a look, I'm delighted."
"The ongoing recession has created more homeless animals, which means shelters have less ability to assist them," said Winters. "If you can offer a good home to one of these loving animals, our three agencies stand ready to help you by reducing the cost."
Leilani Vierra , CEO of the Placer SPCA, and Lynn Howe, founder of A New Hope Animal Foundation agree that both organizations are committed to working toward a day when all adoptable companion animals in Placer County have loving homes.

The Gophers face Radford tonight at 7pm and you should go! Plus other good stories from the Gopher universe.
'Crootin season is upon us! In between prepping for the bowl game, feast on the latest Minnesota recruiting nuggets.
Our last week of projections says the Gophers are likely bound for Houston. Or Jacksonville. Anything but Dallas.
I've been thinking about changing up the Nugz a little bit to focus on something we don't usually focus on with analysis rather than a ton of links. Today I'm going to give some love to Minnesota...
By making history several times over en route to the team's best season since 2003, the Gophers took the requisite steps to move the program forward. Now, expectations of Kill's Gophers have been reset.
So that day we've been talking about all HATE WEEK? It's tomorrow.
Who is in and who is out?
Andrew Rosin doesn't really hate us, doesn't follow the rules, and doesn't think the Badgers defense has a weakness.

I'm in a bit of a bind whether I have a project or area of focus on my hands here:
1. There is a news story I am following, and I want to save all information I find relating to it. The only next action I can think of is "be aware of the story" or "track the story". Is this a project (no real outcome, as I just want to follow the outcome), or an area of focus (I don't have any projects with it, and once the story is over, that's it!) It seems like a "passive" project rather than "active" or "inactive"/"incubating"
another example, but not as mind boggling for me.
2. I want to gather materials for someday building something. If I put "Build Dresser" on a someday/maybe list, it's more of a parked object waiting to get moved to a project list. However, I want to keep gathering ideas, etc. over time. I'm pretty sure I can make someday/maybe work for this one.
What do the masters think?

The Town of Danville Maintenance Department performs a variety of activities to maintain the Town's infrastructure. Maintenance crews contribute to the overall cleanliness and health of the environment by sweeping streets, maintaining landscaping and keeping creeks and drainage systems free flowing.
The Town defers all animal control problems and questions to the Contra Costa Animal Control at 925-335-8300.

For the benefit of our younger (and young at heart) residents, Danville's Maintenance Services Department maintains water features at four of our parks: Oak Hill Park, Diablo Vista Park, Sycamore Valley Park and Hap Magee Ranch Park. These fountains, sprays and other features are typically in operation from April 1 through September 30 each year and run weekdays from Noon to 6:00 p.m. and weekends from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The water features are turned off when weather conditions aren't favorable for this type of Park use and/or for scheduled maintenance and unforeseen repairs.
The water features all run on timers, so as to conserve water as well as prevent a buildup of water at the sites. The two at Oak Hill and Diablo Vista Parks operate for approximately 45 minute cycles and then have a rest period of approximately 15 minutes. The water features at Sycamore Valley and Hap Magee Ranch parks work off of a switch that needs to be activated by the user during the hours of operation. The switch, known as a bollard, can be found within the water feature and have signage instructing residents in their use. These more modern systems use a computer chip which cycles the water feature though a series of events for approximately 12-15 minutes and then goes into an approximate 5 minute rest period before they can be restarted.
For more information on the park water features, contact Maintenance Services at 314-3450 during normal hours of operation Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m
The Town of Danville's Maintenance Services is asking residents to make sure that when they rake up their leaves and other yard waste that they make their way into the green bins, rather than being pushed out into the street for the Town to take care of. Having the debris in the roadway can cause a number of different problems. Some of those include:
* Clogging/Damage to storm drains * Traffic hazard * Debris piles attract rodents * Increased costs for dumping
When the yard waste is picked up by the street sweepers it can no longer be considered green waste. Instead it has to be brought back to the maintenance yard where it remains until picked up at an additional cost to the Town.
For more information, contact Maintenance Services Department at 314-3450 or email@example.com.
If your item was lost at the Community Center please call (925) 314-3400
If your item was lost in one of our Parks or other facilities please call (925) 314-3450.
Items left over 90 days will be donated.
In wet weather sand bags available at Town Service Center
The Winter and Spring seasons in Danville are known to be very wet. During heavy storm systems, the Town has seen some areas of flooding. In order to combat these events, residents have an opportunity to pick up free sandbags. During the wet season, maintenance officials set up a pile of bulk sand at the Town Service Center, 1000 Sherburne Hills Rd. Bags are made available at the site and individuals may fill up to 20 bags for flood control.
Persons who have questions about sandbags, or wish to report street-side flooding or tree limbs down during storm situations, contact Danville Maintenance Services at 314-3450. In reporting downed limbs or flooding, please be prepared to give an address or cross street for the issue being reported.
To report a clogged storm drain or flooding:
During business hours Monday – Friday 7:30 am to 4:00 pm call 314-3450.Non-business hours, weekends and holidays call 820-2144.
The Town of Danville's street sweeping program is funded by your local Stormwater Pollution Control Program to comply with the Federal Clean Water Act. Street sweeping removes pollutants before they drain into storm drains, ditches and creeks which eventually flow into San Francisco Bay. Please use these guidelines to help us untreated keep your environment clean:
Curb markers have been placed at each storm drain to remind us that only stormwater should enter our street storm drains. If you see someone dumping into a storm drain record as much information about the incident as possible and the parties involved and call 1-800-NODUMPING (1-800-663-8674). If you have unwanted household hazardous wasters, you can dispose of them for free, by calling 1-800-646-1431. Sweeping Schedule and Map
Call 925-314-3450
When reporting outages, please be prepared to provide the light pole number to assure timely repair of the correct pole.
The street light pole number is located on the street side of the pole, about 8 feet up from the base.
Also, please have the address of the pole, the nearest cross street, and a description of the issue. For example, if the light totally fails to go on, or if it flickers or goes on and off randomly.

Last Friday, the New York State Legislature sent the Food Metrics Bill (S.4061 /A.5102) to Governor Cuomo to sign into law. This bill helps state agencies to buy more food grown in New York and requires agencies to track the geographic origin of food purchased with state funds.
Contact Governor Cuomo and ask him to support the Food Metrics Bill!
What's the Issue?
The growing, processing, buying and selling of food has traditionally formed the foundation of all economies and New York State is no different. New York's farms, food processors and related businesses annually generate an estimated $47 billion in economic activity. Yet, New York continues to lose the farmland on which this industry depends on at an alarming rate. Over the last 25 years New York State has lost almost half a million acres of farmland, the equivalent of 4,500 farms, to suburban sprawl. How can we stop the loss of our state's irreplaceable farmland? Read More

Will there be more possibled countries to be formed?
A pan-turkic country would be rather cool...
Aye agreed
Name it Turan and there you go as this movement really existed (but not in that time span) and still exists.
It's like all Iranians live in Iran
All Turks (Turkic tribes) live in Turan
That would be really awesome but I think it wont make it into the game
I know the answer to this is probably clearly posted somewhere , but whats the timeframe for MM the game?
he said the game will last about 300 years, it's probably EU3s timeframe. 1450 (Fall of Byz) to 1799 (French Revolution).
How will the technology system differ?
In particular, if I play as the Incas will I ever get to see Europe with good relations and few tech penalties?
Do the flags of the countries change over time? I mean, Spain have different flags in the XV century, the XVI century and the XVII century. Or change with the political system? You know, you no longer need a "Revolutionary France" tag just to show the tricolour flag.
Every rich man is a thief or the son of a thief.
Saint Ambrose
Will the eventual physical copies of the game be produced in Sweden or in Portugal? (assuming that there will be physical copies of the game)
Owner of a Cork Cookie For Great Lusitan Flagish Skills:
What did you think about Sid Meier's keynote address at the GDC 2010?
There's also a download link below the streaming video for easier viewing.
I found it entirely amusing. Especially when he says his games are based on historical topics. That he should "make the game realistic, true - but all that is wrong!"
Although I thought the psychological part was on the whole exactly on the mark (so.. almost exact? LOL, I know what I am trying to say my fingers are failing me), especially the part about how players view the RNG. That one REALLY hit the mark. As in, Robin Hood-level accuracy.

Sat, Jun 23, 2012
The NTSB announced Thursday that it will hold a forum focused on general aviation search and rescue operations on July 17 and 18, 2012. In the U.S., following the crash of a GA airplane, inland searches for the aircraft are conducted by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center, who are supported by numerous Federal, state, local, and volunteer organizations.
The forum will concentrate on examining the regulations, policies, and procedures at a Federal level and serve as a platform to facilitate dialog between search organizations, technology manufacturers, and industry groups on the issues currently impacting the general aviation community. Additionally, the forum will spend a second day discussing emerging technologies and how they may shape the future of general aviation search and rescue.
The two-day forum is being chaired by NTSB Chairman Deborah A. P. Hersman and all five Board Members will participate. Panelists participating in the forum will represent government and industry. "Search and rescue can often mean the difference between life and death," said Chairman Hersman. "Unfortunately, every year we see delays in the detection and location of crashed aircraft due to outdated equipment and a failure to coordinate information and assets."
The NTSB has issued more than two dozen safety recommendations on search and rescue, conducted safety studies addressing ways to improve search and rescue operations and even included general aviation safety on the Most Wanted List of transportation improvements.
A detailed agenda and list of participants will be released closer to the date of the event.

C A+F Nightlife: It depends. If you go out with your friends and have a good attitude you will have fun. But don't expect a state school party scene or you will be horribly disappointed. There is a late van that will take you anywhere and pick you up in case you are drunk somewhere and should not be walking back. There's only about 2 or 3 bars nearby and from what I hear they get really crowded, but I'm not 21 so I don't know firsthand.
B- A+F Nightlife: Valparaiso, Indiana is a decent sized town. That being said, you have to make the fun once the first few weeks of school die down. If you are 21, or have a fake id, you can go to the few bars. It is all about how you make it. Most people, if they want to have a really good weekend, leave and go to the bigger schools, such as Indiana University, or U of I.
B A+F Nightlife: There are places where you can go if you are 21 and over, but not too much for people under 21.
B- A+F Nightlife: Limited but There – There are no clubs in this town but a few bars. I am turning 21 soon so I'll experience that firsthand soon, but I have heard there are some good ones. House parties are the way to go but they are not as common on Valpo's small campus like they might be at big state schools. Parties are there if you want them but its more apartment parties and dry dance parties are houses. I've always had a good time though.
C A+F Nightlife: there is not much night life other than at faternity parties. Valparaiso is a small town so not much goes on. There are a few bars around but otherwise you have to make your own fun.

Written by Amber Will
Nightlife at Valpo mostly revolves around the house parties and frat parties that are held throughout the week. A limited number of students go to the bars on a regular basis, but once you reach that golden age of 21, you will go... at least once. There are not a lot of options for bars around Valpo, but they are frequently visited by some Valpo students. They are sometimes smokey and crowded, so most people drink at home or at house parties.
Frat parties, on the other hand, are held often for students at campus. The most popular are the non-alcoholic dance parties that many students attend. There's a small cover charge that goes towards a philanthropy. Otherwise, there are the typical small gatherings at frats or off-campus houses that entertain many Valpo students. Most of the frat parties are overrun with freshmen and Greeks. Few non-Greek or non-freshmen take the time to head to the frat houses for a party.
Northside is often referred to as the `townie bar,' meaning that most of its patrons tend to be locals, but many VU students head to Northside because it has great prices. You must be 21 to get in, and the carding policy is pretty strict. Northside also has live music from time to time, and they do serve good bar food and appetizers. There is no cover and parking is free.

Probably the best bar food for miles! Pastimes is more like your average Irish pub than a bar. This is the choice for students who want to go out and drink with friends but also have some quality food and conversation. It's quieter and more sophisticated than the other places.

Bin Willy's serves food, as well as being a local student bar. They host a DJ, as well as live bands on the weekends, and offer great specials.

Duffy's is not the first choice for students on a regular basis, but it has a large beer garden area open in the spring that is often used for Senior Week activities or welcome-back bashes.

(219) 462-1057
Best thing to do when you're under 21 is to go to the frats.

Violence Unraveled
by Ran Prieur
November 11, 2002
about me
"Violence" is a propaganda word that sneakily combines many different things, healthy and unhealthy, natural and unnatural. As long as we use the word "violence" in its present meaning, we will tend to either call "violence" wrong, and rule out behaviors without which we can never have a healthy society, or call "violence" acceptable, and permit behaviors
which we can never have a healthy society. We need to take the word apart.
The biggest thing that gets blurred into "violence," that overlaps all the others, is vigorous physical motion and contact, which I'll call
. Vigor is everywhere. Almost everything in the universe is rushing, colliding, grabbing, pushing, shaking. We and our ancestors have lived tens of millions of years by vigorously killing and eating plants and other animals, and civilized humans haven't stopped this but put it out of sight. Look around where you're sitting: Probably almost everything you can see was made by vigorously slicing up trees, killing animals, hacking down crops, pounding and tearing minerals out of the earth. In the absence of our awareness, in the darkness, our vigor has accelerated and its character has changed, has become machine-like and blind. And in the absence of personal healthy vigor, our character too has changed. Western post-industrial humans, who are surrounded by the products of the most energetic destructions and transformations in history, have become so pathologically vigor-phobic that we can go years without touching anyone or anything with any energy. We take for granted that a verbal argument is OK but a physical argument can only be a "fight" which is always wrong (except when done by the military or police). We think physical abuse of children is monstrous but that verbal abuse, which is just as abusive but more hidden and dishonest, is tolerable. We may sit at a meeting trading intense verbal hostility while apologizing if we bump someone's foot under the table.
Liberals have been redefining "violence" to also include non-physical abuse or domination. They're trying to keep the propaganda word "violence" but turn it to their own ends. I'm trying to stop us using the word. I want us to relearn healthy vigor, and before that we need to understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy vigor, and before that we need more precise language. What I'm about to define are neither "kinds of violence" nor "kinds of vigor," but some other things besides vigor that have been tangled into "violence." I call them control, cruelty, extermination, eating, toolmaking, toolbreaking, spectacle, nihilism, revenge, and balance.
is trying to affect the behavior of another being in a way that fails to respect its autonomy, that fails to relate to it as a subject, equal but different, with its own perspective and its own needs. This includes everything from "disciplining" young people to breaking a wild animal to armed robbery to slavery to a whole society where we do what we hate all day because of fear. Control is the trickiest thing I'm trying to define. What is autonomy? What is a need? What isn't a subject? My "control" is not the same as a baseball pitcher trying to "control" the ball, because the ball is not a living being -- or if we're full-on animists and say the ball
a living being, then its meaning of life is entirely a function of the game, and the players are not really controlling it but working
it. A good test to separate healthy and unhealthy meanings of "control" is to try to substitute the word "accuracy" or "focus."
is what happens when control loses focus. The inhibition of empathy that's necessary to maintain a system where people do what they hate, goes over the back fence and turns into negative empathy, so that you get direct pleasure from feeling another's suffering. Our society tells us that control is decent and rational, and cruelty is terrible and irrational, but I halfway respect cruelty as control that stops being half-assed, or as control that reclaims an emotional connection to its object (because even a negative connection is better than none), or as a subversive action to end control by transforming it into something more volatile.
is a close relative of control: Again, it's based on viewing another being as a function of your own needs and values, and violating that being's autonomy to affect it, except instead of affecting its behavior, you affect its
, toward the negative. Extermination includes everything from swatting a mosquito to poisoning "weeds" to assassination to genocide. What makes it different from other kinds of killing is the motivation: you're killing something primarily to make it go away.
, of course, is when you kill something as part of eating it. The difference between eating and extermination seems subtle from the perspective of our society, but it is all-important. Most animals and even some plants kill as part of eating; eating and being eaten are at the foundation of the balanced system that contains us. But only civilized humans systematically exterminate, and it's destroying life on earth. On a recent camping trip I stumbled on experimental confirmation of the depth of this difference. Bothered by mosquitoes, I got frustrated and sucked one into my mouth and ate it. Then I tried eating all the mosquitoes I killed. Not only was it more fun and meaningful, but over hundreds of attempts, the mosquitoes I ate were about three times as easy to kill as the ones I didn't eat.
uses a broad definition of "tool," all the way from a bird's nest to vegetable dye to deerskin moccasins to a field of crops to a giant city built through countless clearcuts and mines. It could be divided further, since it includes toolmaking both civilized and natural, both lethal and non-lethal. It opens important questions that I leave open: Is killing something to make a tool out of it fundamentally different from killing something to eat it? And how do we identify toolmaking that is or is not in balance with the wider world? Actually, "advanced" food production raises this same question about eating.
is similarly broad, including logging equipment sabotaged by autonomous activists, factories destroyed by military bombs, burned books, and farmland sowed with salt. Toolbreaking does not include destruction of something with life of its own, like a forest. That would be extermination. And it does not include graffiti, since what is painted on something is an aesthetic issue, and does not affect use value. But like graffiti, toolbreaking cannot be morally evaluated without opening up the idea of "property."
Who gets to decide what will be done with a tool, whether or not it will be used, whether it will be kept around or destroyed? The creator? The user? The "owner"? Who is the appropriate user? What does "own" mean in a thoroughly coercive society where almost anything can be said to be stolen? Everyone knows that the land of the USA was stolen from the Indians. And because we do our wage labor only under the threat of not otherwise having shelter or food, our labor is stolen from us the same as if we had guns to our heads. And then whatever we make or do with our labor is stolen the same way.
A piece of logging equipment is made with labor stolen from people, out of materials stolen from the earth, so its alleged owners have no moral standing to say what will be done with it. Does anyone? One could argue that what's done with it should be determined by the wider interests of the present society, but then this would yield in the same way to the even wider interests of human happiness, and the still wider interests of the earth, both of which would tell us to not use the equipment. Or one could argue that it's never right to destroy something; but if it's wrong to destroy a tool, then it's certainly wrong to destroy a living forest, in which case logging equipment has no justification for existence (except maybe as a bad example).
Attacking tools that are about to destroy a piece of land with which you have a deep relation is like shooting the gun out of the hand of someone about to kill your family. And since most corporations are continuously actively destroying the earth, well-chosen anti-corporate sabotage is like attacking a man who's strangling your mother. The only objections I see to ecological toolbreaking are tactical: If you do it in secret, you are treating the symptoms while compounding some of the causes: secrecy, which is allied with unhealthy societies, and also the habit of affecting each other's lives without engaging each other in a healthy social process to work out the conflict. But if you do it out in the open, you'll be put in prison for a very long time, which hurts both you soul and your ability to help. I don't have an answer.
might involve killing or destruction, but it's more than just extermination or toolbreaking because the main purpose is not to push something out of existence, but to psychologically influence observers. The intended influence could be to draw attention to a cause, as in many "terrorist" attacks, or to incite a war, as in the 9/11 operation, or to intimidate people, as in killings of political activists. (Of course the latter are also extermination, and all intimidation is also control.)
could be called spectacle or extermination or toolbreaking that is done with little awareness or focus. Basically you're so overwhelmed by the horror and meaninglessness of your environment that you just want to destroy. Nihilism is similar to cruelty -- you're in a bad situation and don't see a way out, but you can at least make the badness more alive and unstable.
I'm defining narrowly, as a completely pathological urge, when someone does something you don't like, to do something they don't like. Revenge sits in one corner of a vast slippery region of answering aggression with aggression. On one edge of this region is a dense gray area all the way from revenge to control, with what we call "punishment" right in the middle. And spreading out from this gray area is another gray area merging with a whole range of healthy behaviors that may be only subtly different from revenge, punishment, and control.
is the word I'm using for all of them. If control and punishment and revenge are about acting on others without respecting their autonomy, balance is acting
them, with respect for their autonomy, with awareness of others as subjects with their own perspectives and needs, with an opening of one's self into relation as an equal. What I'm trying to get at here is the default way of being of all life everywhere, and I trivialize it by describing it with only one word, or with words at all. I could just as appropriately call it "play" or "love" or just say "uh!" and open my arms. Most nature-based peoples don't even have a word for "love," for the same reason that fish, if they had words, would not have a word for water.
I'm taking for granted that we can learn from "nature," our little word for the larger world that created humans, that we're still part of, that has kept itself going for uncountable millions of years when our system couldn't last a week without cheating by taking more than it gives. But I'm not saying nature is perfect. It's a good system that evil can and does get into. I've seen male ducks gang rape a female. I've heard that monkeys will have hateful murderous tribal wars, and that alpha male lions will hunt down and kill the offspring of competitors. I actually idealize nature less than many scientists, who will make up stories about how these behaviors serve their self-centered version of "evolution." These behaviors are aberrations, but small ones that nature can work with. But what if some exterminating animals got
out of balance, say by inventing physical tools and abstract languages that stuck their deviant behaviors in place as a whole sustained way of being? They would either go extinct, taking a lot of the earth with them, or they would see what they were doing and get back in balance with the whole, which they could learn from almost any other creature, especially populations of their own species that lived in balance.
Outside civilization there is no control and little extermination. Even the most murderous lion will not try to force another creature to act contrary to its nature, and even if it doesn't always use healthy ways of resolving conflict, it knows such ways. Everyone but a civilized human knows how to physically work out conflict while minimizing death and serious injury, including so-called "warlike" tribes of natural humans. Non-civilized battles are highly ritualized, totally voluntary, and fun. They've been compared to big capture-the-flag games where people sometimes get killed. Contrast this with advanced civilization, where young people's lives are puritanically stripped of all aggression and danger, and then in a few years these same people are coerced (through poverty if not through the draft) to go fight in wars where lethal danger is intentionally maximized.
Our society tries to channel all vigor into extermination and control. This right wing practice is allied with the left wing doctrine that all vigor is "violence" and is wrong. By suppressing healthy vigor, we support its channeling into unhealthy vigor, which supports the belief that all vigor is unhealthy and must be suppressed. This cycle can be broken through the practice of balancing vigor, and through the ideas that I'm suggesting here: That domination and vigor are different things, that domination is wrong at any level of vigor, that vigor is not inherently bad, and that aggressive vigorous actions can still be healthy and balancing.
These ideas are almost not radical. Everyone agrees that verbal abuse is wrong and that wrestling for fun is OK. What's radical is to extend these values beyond the sub-worlds of entertainment and leisure. The most important function of the propaganda word "violence" is to prevent this one thing: the entry of alive, autonomous, democratic, personal physical power into politics, or the breaking of the monopoly that the authorities have on socially effective physical action. Of course just breaking this monopoly doesn't equal balance, and if we ended it now we wouldn't be ready. But it's a giant necessary step, and the time will come to take it.
We already (or still) come close to balancing vigor in a few areas. Contact sports are ritualized, vigorous, and minimize injury, but the ritual is not one of balance but one of symbolic extermination, where teams are "eliminated" and at the end of the season there can be only one winner. Also, for every player there are thousands of spectators, whose pent-up vigor may not be released but built up further, which would fit the fact that domestic physical abuse is higher on Superbowl Sunday. Martial arts can be vigorous and balanced, but again, the focus is often on an absolute form of winning. Rough sex can be vigorous and balanced, if people participate as equals, but usually they take dominant and submissive roles. I think moshing comes closest. It's ritualized and dependably vigorous and balanced -- but still, there's no actual conflict that's being worked out, so it has no relation to society except as an exercise. It's balanced but not balanc
Balancing vigor is in our nerves and blood -- and if it's ever taken out of us by genetic science, we're doomed, because it's our lifeline to the real world. In the deepest cubicles of civilization, we feel a biological need to work out real issues with bone-shaking running and bumping, and this need is always denied, diverted into toy vigor that's detached from real issues, or into vigor that settles real issues not with balance but with unequal life-negating extermination and control.
This is why successful vigorous protests are so important. A young German radical once told me that she and her friends went to political riots not for the particular issues, but because they wanted to fight the police. At the time I thought -- as I was trained to think -- that this was irresponsible and immature. But finally I understand that their instincts were more profoundly radical, more deeply socially conscious, than any of our brain-tangling political issues.
To take the example of the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle: Denied representation by an antidemocratic corporate government, people went out with their bodies, with their physical presence, and for a few hours seduced the police into something like natural fighting. In a space outside the legal fabrications of our society, activists and police faced each other as if on equal terms, and living bodies blocked delegates, delayed the conference, and measurably influenced the world!
The WTO protest was not a victory, but something even better -- it was not a loss. Winning would mean totally having our way: humiliating police officers and burning down the corporate headquarters and the houses of the elite. Then we would just become the new controlling exterminating powers, as we did after the French Revolution. Revolution is the wrong metaphor for change when we're trapped going around in circles.
We need to learn to walk the straight line that divides domination from degradation, before we can safely re-integrate vigor into politics. Then, if we can repeatedly engage authority-serving humans in respectful vigorous conflicts that affect real issues, and where every person walks away with dignity, one day we might wake up and notice that there are no longer any "authorities," just different perspectives working things out as equals.
Also, we need as many people as possible to understand what the fighting is about. Unlike in nature, most of our conflicts are based on huge lies and misunderstandings, so they can only really be settled with some element of sharing experience and talking and carefully thinking. For example, the bought classes really believe that their system is good and just, and view sabotage and political riots as they view earthquakes, as incomprehensible blind destruction. This raises moral questions: how much slack do we give people to figure it out, before we act? And it raises strategic questions: when do the positive effects -- patterns jammed, new patterns started, attention drawn to our perspectives -- outweigh the negative effects of drawing anger and hatred from people who still don't get it?
I have no further answers. People who are authorized to use force, if they're not just stupid bullies, face questions like these all the time, and learn to answer them skillfully and decisively. We can too.

Going with grains
Nutrition Month highlights the need to eat healthy, Herald food columnist Jeff Tiedeman says.By: Jeff Tiedeman, Grand Forks Herald
I always look forward to March. It signals to me that we've turned the corner as far as winter is concerned.
I know a lot of you (including my wife) will say that we've still got at least a month of snow and cold temperatures — and possibly more — remaining before the weather can accommodate shorts.
I take a different perspective. Come March 20 (spring's official start), the days will be getting longer. And beginning this coming Sunday, we'll be on daylight saving time, which means it will be light an hour later in the evening. The sun won't set until well after 7.
March also is significant for another reason. It's National Nutrition Month, an education and information campaign created by the American Dietetic Association that focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. This year's theme is "Eat Right."
For those who set New Year's goals of getting healthy, and others like me, who are just trying to maintain healthy lifestyles, it's a good time to re-evaluate how things are going.
One of the things I'm planning to do this year is to get more whole grains into my diet. According the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Pyramid, we should eat six to 11 servings from the grains group, and at least half should be of the whole grain variety (i.e. whole wheat, whole oats/oatmeal, whole grain cornmeal, popcorn, brown rice, whole rye, whole-grain barley, wild rice, buckwheat, triticale, bulgur (cracked wheat), millet, quinoa and sorghum).
Foods made with whole grains are recognized as important sources of nutrients, including fiber, trace minerals and certain vitamins. They also have other health-promoting components and phytochemicals that are not restored through traditional grain enrichment and fortification practices and are believed to play a key role in reducing risk of disease. (Research shows that diets rich in whole grain foods are helpful in reducing the risks of heart disease, certain types of cancer and type 2 diabetes and also may aid in weight management.)
I'm already doing pretty fair job of getting more whole grains in my diet. I start my day with oatmeal, and about the only bread we eat (with the exception of Mom's homemade buns) is whole wheat. And wild rice and brown rice have replaced the refined types (most of the bran and some of the germ is removed) such as white and basmati on our dinner table.
Recently, Craig Hahn, a physical therapist I know at Altru, expressed interest in recipes for risotto, which uses refined arborio rice.
I told him that Therese recently substituted short-grained brown rice for the arborio in risotto, and the result was quite satisfactory.
The brown rice risotto wasn't quite as white or creamy as one made with arborio would have been, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little in the areas of sight and texture when it comes to my health.
And after all, summer is just around the corner, and I want to look good in shorts.

text: I love homemade playdough for two reasons. Number one is that I know exactly what is in it and number two being the fact that it's so cheap and easy to make that I don't mind throwing it away after they are done paying. It never fails that with the store bought playdoh we end up with four containers, three of which contain a gray brown mixed color of playdoh and one of which is totally empty and is probably being used as a weapon against sisters. It takes five minutes at most to whip up a batch of homemade playdough. The worst part for me though is the smell. Because you use heated oil it … [Read more...]

Rioja from Campo Viejo
2007 Campo Viejo Rioja Crianza
$10, 13.5% abv.
85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha, 5% Mazuelo (Carignan)
The youngest and simplest Rioja is Crianza, aged for two years, one of which must be in oak. This one was fruity with black cherry aromas and flavors. Dark and dusty with medium tannins. Tasty and uncomplicated, and not bad at all for a sawbuck.
2006 Campo Viejo Rioja Reserva
$14, 13.5% abv.
85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano , 5% Mazuelo
Reserva means that it's been aged for three years, again, with at least one of those years in oak. This one was similar to the Crianza, but smoother with light tannins. As it warms, you get a nose of light eucalyptus, tobacco, and green pepper.
2003 Campo Viejo Rioja Gran Reserva
$20, 13.5% abv.
85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano , 5% Mazuelo
Gran Reserva wines get two years in oak and three years in the bottle before release. This was an amazing wine. Light leather and smoke aromas. On the palate there are mild tannins with hints of black cherry and chocolate. The overall structure is light and delicate, and it just melts on your tongue. Highly recommended.
Note: These wines were received as samples.

I'm glad you said "sawbuck".
Have always felt Rioja is a great deal. I need to pony up several sawbucks to get more Ribera del Duero, Priorato, etc. in the cellar. - Friday, August 26, 2011 1:11:00 PM

It's a fun slang term. For obvious reasons, I don't refer to C-notes as "Benjamins". Plus, I rarely write about wines at that level. Lots of Hamiltons, though.
One of these days I'll find a truly awesome Gran Reserva and it will delight and amaze everyone for around $50. Excuse, me, I mean a "Hawaii", as in the 5-0. ;)
Benito - Friday, August 26, 2011 11:49:00 PM
Hi from the UK,
Totally agree with your review! The Crianza is a nice fallback, and good value. I'm hooked on the Reserva, which my local supermarket puts on offer every few months for under a tenner; I always buy six, to get the extra 5% discount. I've never tried the Gran Reserva - but I'll look for it on your recommendation.
