Front Suspension & Chassis Upgrades - '68 Cougar / Mustang In this video, we show some of the ways you can easily stiffen your car's chassis and upgrade your front suspension. Using Andrew's '68 Cougar as a guinea pig, we bolt on, and weld on, some simple parts that will make a big difference in reducing the torsional flex that these front ends are prone to, as well as improving the integrity of the shock towers. Most of the parts mentioned in this video can be found here: http://www2.cougarpartscatalog.com/frsu.html Springs we used: http://www2.cougarpartscatalog.com/c7zz-5310-p.html Rubber Insulators: http://www2.cougarpartscatalog.com/c4dz-5415-a.html Rear seat divider panel (67-68 Cougar): http://www2.cougarpartscatalog.com/store/p/13463-Divider-Rear-Seat-to-Trunk -Coupe-METAL-New-1967-1968-Mercury-Cougar.html See also: 69-70 Cougar panel: http://www2.cougarpartscatalog.com/store/p/13464-Divider-Rear-Seat-to-Trunk -Coupe-METAL-New-1969-1970-Mercury-Cougar.html If we forgot to list anything, you should be able to find it on our website!

67-68 Cougar Buying Guide: What To Look For In this video, Don does a detailed inspection on a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7 to show some of the things you should look for when buying one of these classic cars. Some of the insight here can potentially save you hundreds, even thousands, when you go to negotiate with a seller. Also, it will help those of you trying to sell, to more accurately advertise the strengths and weaknesses of your car.

Is It Numbers Matching? - Cougar by the Numbers In this video we delve into the complex topic of decoding tags, date codes, and other numbers to check if your classic Ford / Mercury is "numbers matching," using Don's newly acquired '69 Mercury Cougar XR7 428 Cobra Jet convertible as an example. While we haven't covered the subject 100% in this video (to keep it concise) we think this covers most of the major components and gives you the knowledge you need to figure out what your numbers mean. As mentioned in the video, we highly recommend Marti Auto Works, especially his Tagbook, which made this video possible.

From Wikepedia The Mercury Colony Park was the top-of-the-line full-size station wagon offered by Mercury between 1957 and 1991. It wore woodgrain paneling on the bodysides and tailgate, as did the 1957-1991 Ford Country Squire and the 1958 Edsel Bermuda wagons. For 1979, Mercury joined its Detroit rivals in downsizing its largest models, resulting in a car considerably smaller and lighter than its predecessor. With the downsizing, the former 400- and 460-cubic-inch engines were discontinued, and the 351-cubic-inch Windsor V8 became the largest available in the Colony Park. All Colony Parks were equipped with standard 8-passenger seating and exterior woodgrain siding. The 351 would be dropped early in the 1980s, as most customers deemed the 302 Windsor engine sufficiently powerful. This generation of Colony Park would see few substantial changes during its 12-year lifespan, garnering only minor grille and trim revisions annually through 1987. In 1988, the entire front grille headlamp assembly (shared with the Grand Marquis) was redesigned for a more modern and aerodynamic appearance, and then in 1990, the instrument panel was revamped to allow the addition of a driver's side airbag. When the Grand Marquis was redesigned with aero-styling for 1992, the Colony Park station wagon was dropped from Mercury's lineup. By that time, full-size station wagons were no longer popular due to the increasing popularity of minivans and SUVs. The last full-size station wagons, the Chevrolet Caprice, the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser and the Buick Roadmaster Estate ended production in 1996. In 2005, DaimlerChrysler briefly reintroduced the Dodge Magnum name on a full-size wagon, based on the LX platform Chrysler 300, but it was dropped in 2008.

1978 Mercury Grand Marquis Video 1 Owner 6.6L 400 V8 Classic Youngtimer Lincoln Town Car Ford Sedan 78 Mercury Grand Marquis 312,000 Miles Near Mint 1 Owner 6.6L 400 Big Block Classic Youngtimer http://www.1ownercarguy.com This is a very cool car. Usually I like cars with really low miles but this car is sol cool because it has 312,000 original miles on it and runs like a newer car. This is only a 1 Owner Car and yes the miles are actual. The previous owner drove the car back and fourth from Canada to California. You would never guess the miles by looking at the car. The factory baby blue paint is in great shape and has a very nice shine to it. The factory white vogue top looks great on the car and is in about as good of shape as you will find. The body is straight as can be and the paint is original. It has the 6.6L 400 engine that fires right up and runs great. It has been rebuilt along with many other things on the car. I talked to the mechanics that worked on the car and they remembered the guy and how good he took care of his car and really liked it. You would have to really like a car to put that many miles on it. The car feels and handles like a newer car and just floats down the road. The interior is in mint condition along with the rest of the car. Only the drivers seat shows minimal wear. It looks like he was the only one that made the trips because none of the other seats look like they hardly ever got sat in. Everything about this car is just clean as can be. You won't find another car like this.

Из грязи в князи - Ford Torino 1971 Из грязи в князи - Ford Torino 1971 В 1971 году Ford производит изменение своего модельного ряда — упраздняются названия Fairlane и Falcon. Новая линейка Torino теперь состояла из 14 моделей. Базовой моделью был Torino в вариациях 2-дверный хардтоп, 4-дверный седан и универсал. Следующим шёл Torino 500, доступный в качестве 2-дверного хардтопа и SportsRoof, 4-дверного седана и универсала. На вершине находился Torino Brougham в разновидностях 2и 4-дверный хардтоп, а Torino Squire являлся люксовой версией Brougham с кузовом универсал. Torino GT предлагалась с кузовами SportsRoof и кабриолет, а Torino Cobra — только SportsRoof. Внешние изменения в 1971 году были незначительны и в основном коснулись иного оформления радиаторной решётки за исключением Cobra, продолжавшей использовать решётки 1970 года. На Torino 500, Brougham, универсал Squire и GT могли также ставиться «скрытые» фары Hideaway. О фильме: Барри знает, как создавать масл-кары (мускулистые машины). Но сколько они будут стоить? Он собирается выяснить. В каждом эпизоде, Барри с его командой механиков и семьей, имеют только четыре недели на работу по восстановлению классических американских авто, для последующей их продажи на самых известных автоаукционов северной Америки, а окупятся ли расходы и останется ли Барри в прибыли,смотрите сами!

Please go see it http://youtu.be/fDux8URDq6E A quick and silent tour and test drive of my recently purchased 1990 Mercury Grand Marquis LS. I'm lucky to find this car in mint condition. All original parts except for battery. Even the tires are original. Previous owner had multiple cars, only used the Grand Marquis for special occasions. Needless to say it drives like a dream. Please excuse my poor filming skills as this camera does not autofocus. So the road is kinda blurry. Enjoy!

If you own a car, chances are you have had (or will have) to take it to a repair shop at some point. Unfortunately, tales of crooked mechanics are as prevalent as crooked politician stories, resulting in most car owners being wary or downright defensive before they even walk in a repair shop's door.
Referrals for auto repair shops, when their service and quality of work result in a positive experience that customers share with their friends, family and coworkers, hold a great deal of weight when car-owners are deciding who will service their car. Auto technicians are car-owners too, and know how it feels to be on both sides of that service counter. Below are a local shop manager's suggestions for dealing with your automotive technician/repair shop in a way that will benefit both of you.
Be loyal to a good technician. A good technician knows that he/she needs to provide you with honest, quality work at a fair price if they want your loyalty. If you find a repair shop that does this, don't "shop around." A tech or repair shop that you've developed a win-win relationship with will often reward your loyalty by waiving minor fees or offering special incentives to their best customers.
Offer trust. There are times that repairing the most immediate or obvious problem results in identifying other, often more serious issues that could not be readily diagnosed prior to the repair work. A good tech will communicate this possibility to you during the diagnostic phase; be prepared and do not become defensive when it happens. If you know your tech well, you should trust that s/he is telling you the truth, and not just trying to "upsell" you. Remember: your tech didn't cause the problem - he's just the messenger.
Take care of your car. Auto technicians do not relish telling their customers that they need expensive repair work, especially if it is due to lack of proper maintenance. What they do enjoy are customers that get their regularly-scheduled maintenance done, i.e. oil changes, tune-ups, EFI cleanings, etc. These services add years to your car's life, often result in better gas mileage, and give your tech the opportunity on a consistent basis to look your car over for any fluid leaks or other "first tells" of more serious issues. Early detection can often result in a much lower repair bill.
Realize that your tech cannot read minds. If you have had your car somewhere else for repairs within the last 6 months, tell your technician up-front exactly what was done. If you have noticed fluid under the car, strange noises, running problems, or any other out-of-the-ordinary behavior, tell your tech when you bring the car in.
Be honest about the problem. Some people think that if they tell the mechanic too much the bill will be larger. Just the opposite is true. Hiding symptoms may result in additional diagnosis (which costs money) or worse, may result is an incomplete or improper repair. Sharing everything you know about what the car is doing is the way to the lowest possible repair bill.
Don't expect miracles. Remember the old saying: Cheap, Fast, Good - pick two. Are your expectations realistic? What is your #1 priority? If you are hoping for that '85 Chevy with over 150K to "run like new," you might want to evaluate your expectations a little bit.
Refer the garage to friends. The best compliment is to bring the shop new business based on your good relationship.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation reported in a survey released Thursday that the economic impact of the firearms and ammunition industry totaled $31 billion in 2011 — up from $19 billion in 2008. The figure includes jobs, taxes, and sales. The foundation, which has its headquarters in Newtown, Conn., is the trade association for the firearms industry.
The number of jobs in the gun industry increased by 30 percent to 98,750, and firearms businesses paid $2.5 billion in federal taxes, up 66 percent in the three-year period, the foundation said. Additionally, background check requests for purchases of firearms set records in 2010 and 2011, FBI data shows.

Thoughts for caregivers, friends and family...
August 13, 2006, 03:10:54 PM »
Survivors and patients
- If someone were to come to you and tell you that their loved-one has just been diagnosed, what do you think you would share with them that would help them in their journey?
- this is a great chance for you to speak up and give advice to others who are being thrown into the caregiver role.
Think about...
What your loved-ones did that helped and encouraged you
Pitfalls to avoid (perhaps something a loved-one did that didn't help or required too much energy)
What you wished your loved-ones had known about your needs or about their own needs during the experience
Basically, I am looking for a list of things that caregivers/friends can do that are helpful and encouraging. I am also looking for ways that caregivers/friends can help themselves as well as the patient. If you have a specifically poignant example, please share the whole story, because I may use it on the site as well.
I could get this stuff from a book (actually I have
this one
in front of me), but you guys are just as good as any book. I'd rather use our compiled experiences anyday. Plus, I want to make sure you're using the brain cells you have left.

I was well taken care of by my husband and friends. However, since my dysfunctional family did not participate in my care at all, it was overwhelming for him to be the sole caretaker since I was basically out of it most of the time. But he said later that if someone would have just stayed and answered the phone the many times I was hospitalized, and walked and fed the dog, brought in the mail and small things like that it would have helped him immensely as he was trying to keep his full time job and me, his other full time job. So those are the things I have heard him express as the caretaker's point of view.
Medically, there were so many things that fell through the cracks with me that are too numerous too list. The cancer center here is just not capable of meeting the needs of all the patients they have other than their treatments. Their was no soft place to fall there, and of course, with osteosarcoma, (and especially a hemipelvectomy), I was their first patient ever with it and they didn't know what to do with me. I feel cheated when I read about these fabulous cancer centers with psychological help and other amenities available to them. Ah well, been there done that and GLAD IT'S OVER!!!!
Hope this helped with your questions.

Advice for the faithful caretakers......
Don't take it personally!!!!! I don't know how many times I snapped the heads off of my parents just because they were the closest and safest people to yell at. There were many times that I thought I wanted them to leave me alone in my misery and all they did was everything to try and make me happy and comfortable...
When food refuses to be eaten, when tears can not be wiped away, when short smart ass'ed answers are the only form of conversation...Don't take it personally......it was the one thing that I thought I had control over (which I didn't) now that I look back on it and have met others who are caregivers I see a whole other side of what parents went through---I have since apologized

I remember when I first started my treatment there were many people at the cancer center who encouraged me or said positive things to me. They were part of my "angel" network because when I needed it most someone had something great to say to me. After being there for a few months, I realized that it was my turn to be someone's "angel" and tried to help and encourage others.
So if someone were to tell me their loved one was just diagnosed I would tell them I was sorry to hear the news and tell them an appropriate survival story if I could. I would encourage them to help their loved one get the best treatment available and, above all, help them get and keep a positive attitude. And I would encourage them to solicit everyone they know for prayers.
One thing that helped me the most was that my husband took over all the details so I wouldn't have to worry about anything but getting well. He was at home in Kansas City while I was in Houston, so he took care of all the financial stuff...apartment rent, doctor bills, bills at home and my 3 year-old's care. He also came to visit me after every round...expensive, but worth it. He was the one I could share my true feelings with.
Rotate or change caregivers as often as you can. I had to have a caregiver in Houston and was there for 5 months. For my situation, a different caregiver each month would have been ideal.
Don't agree to be a caregiver if you really aren't cut out for it or up to it. For awhile, I had a caregiver that wan't mentally able to be the caregiver I needed.
By the same token, if a caregiver isn't working out, replace them. I didn't want to be trouble for my family so I put up with the situation for longer than I really needed to.
Bring dinner over in disposable dishes and/or volunteer to take the kids for a night or two. I enjoyed being able to get rest without being interrupted.

A "Bon Voyage" progress report for my many island community friends. It is a bit long, my apologies.
My thanks to all for the opportunity to serve as the first GIBA executive director. It has been a privilege and pleasure working for you and with you over the past 15 1/2 years setting up GIBA. It has truly been an amazing and very rewarding adventure and in the process I have made many wonderful and lasting friendships with an array of outstanding people, both professionally and socially.
In January 1998 GIBA bought the entire toll, bridges and 2 1/2 mile causeway system and we started out in a small trailer. We have successfully evolved into a full service, customer-friendly organization providing a welcoming, hurricane-resistant facilities designed to last 100 years. Visitors and residents alike all now enjoy GIBA's scenic gateway, three-lane toll plaza and administrative structure, both providing first class customer services and state of the art toll processing. The focus for the past 15 years has remained on improving our causeway & bridge safety. It has been a very rewarding trek venturing through many exciting times and challenges. Now I am departing with the new south bridge complete, the center bridge to be finished in six months and our new swing bridge likely to start construction this fall. I am proud that all of these many milestone events have been delivered on-time, when needed, within budget.
A few "progress" updates:
• SIB loan: Over the past two years it has been rewarding to work on all aspects of the SIB Loan project with our outstanding Finance Chairman Bill Holmberg, the State of Florida folks and our talented consultant team to ensure the dream low-rate30-year-SIB loan for GIBA will become a reality.
I believe Bill's superb leadership and our proactive GIBA teamwork will make it happen on time in July. The cost savings advantages it offers will make a huge difference for our many toll customers by keeping our future toll rates reasonable, hopefully at $6. I am proud to have been a part of this significant milestone process.
• Swing bridge construction permits: I am confident that my proactive oversight and coordination with H&H's talented design team and my weekly input with many friends at the Coast Guard HQ will enable that team to successfully navigate the swing bridge permit process system, blend the Coast Guard and state historic efforts together quickly and deliver an on-time new GIBA swing bridge permit by July.
• County shoulder paving assistance: Terrific news. Charlotte County is now interested in helping GIBA to improve our new fixed bridges roadway to allow better bicycle safety, sooner. After many months of pre-planning, GIBA hosted a "shoulder paving" coordination visit for Charlotte County officials last week, as the county and MPO are focused in the future on providing better bicycle safety on all of their major roads.
Thankfully, at that meeting we learned key attendee Commissioner Bill Truex, our own West County commissioner, fully supports this focus in better community bicycle safety. Specifically, they seem serious in helping GIBA provide needed new four-foot paved shoulders by this fall, when the two fixed bridges are finished.
How? By proposing a concept last week to share 50 percent of the $200,000 estimated cost to add the four-foot safety shoulders in between the new fixed bridges in mid-July 2013. While at this point it is still only concept, it is reasonable, has traction and seems viable. The next step is to rally similar support from the other four commissioners. If it succeeds, it will provide better GIBA causeway shoulder safety by this fall and it should help save GIBA at least $100,000 in precious funds.
• New fixed bridges project: Oversight of this great project and participating in the weekly progress meetings has been my most incredibly rewarding experience. It has been delightful to work with Orion's professional construction team and their proactive local project manager, J. P. Donoghue. The community has already benefited with smoother, safe, no-speed-bump travel from Orion's recent on-time opening of the new south bridge.
Orion's success can be measured by the flexibility, timely communications and professional work ethic they display daily and their ability to aggressively stay within budget and ahead of schedule. Orion's very professional hard work will result in putting island traffic on the new center bridge sometime in July, and allow full removal of the old bridge by September.
I anticipate the entirety of two new fixed bridges project will be finished at least two months early, by October, which should also increase savings to GIBA.
In closing, my time at the helm of GIBA's operations has been a positive and enriching experience. I have been blessed with a great "can do" staff and an array of insightful board members who truly care about our special island community.
It has been a superb team effort. Over the past 15 plus years we have gradually and successfully transitioned the GIBA from a slow and inept one-lane toll system with failing bridges we inherited in 1998 to become a first-class, professional bridge authority organization with an attractive, island-style, traffic-efficient three-lane toll plaza and an equally attractive, island-style administrative building ... all manned by our dedicated, customer-friendly GIBA staff.
Thankfully, the community is already enjoying the new south bridge design improvements, soon to be followed by the completion of new center bridge with its incredible views. Our beautiful, new, taller bridges will provide even better, incredible gulf and bay views. These wonderfully-designed new bridges should last 75 years and they are also a historical milestone, as they are the first-ever coastal Florida bridges capable of withstanding the side and uplift forces of a fierce 17-foot storm surge.
Over the past 15 years, GIBA has overcome many challenges and always stayed on course. It is now time for me to turn the page and focus on a new chapter – working several new and special projects in this community where I can continue to make a positive difference and help make things better. I am exceptionally proud of Team GIBA, and the dedicated staff who work so hard, daily, 24/7 to provide the community with the finest bridge opening and toll customer services available anywhere.
I have truly appreciated my opportunity to work with the original founding charter GIBA board and the array of caring community volunteer GIBA Board members over the past 15 1/2 years. Together we have constantly improved the GIBA's facilities and services, while providing discounts and keeping our tolls customer friendly.
I look forward to seeing you all as I am out and about in our community, enjoying its beauty and working to protect it. Perhaps at Lighthouse Methodist Church events, the chamber's tarpon tournament, at nearby Wildflower Preserve working on juvenile tarpon protections with Lemon Bay Conservancy and Mote Marine, or on other new and exciting proactive efforts focused on improving the quality of the water and better protecting our vital the fish habitat in Charlotte Harbor.
Very best wishes to all,
Jim Cooper
Former executive director of the Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority

"PHA's research program has yielded an explosion of understanding about PH that was not known before."- John Newman, MD, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
PH Treatments: What's on the Horizon
Watch Dr. Michael McGoon's webinar presentation from April 2013
Twenty years ago there were no pulmonary hypertension treatments available. Through focused research there are now nine PH-specific treatments with more in development. But we know that your ultimate wish is for a cure, and that is why PHA will continue to support the work of researchers until the day when no one suffers from PH.
In just a little under a decade, PHA's Research Program has committed more than $12.5 million for PH research by leveraging partnerships with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS). We have supported over 49 promising researchers through four independently reviewed, cutting-edge research programs.

(MedPage Today) The anti-angina agent ranolazine (Ranexa) may work in a condition for which there are few options in terms of drug therapy: pulmonary hypertension (PH) tied to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF-pEF), researchers found. Read article
Five staff members represented the Pulmonary Hypertension Association at this year's meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians.
Many physicians with whom PHA works closely gave talks on various diagnostic and management issues related to PH to a particularly receptive audience, given the increased PH presence at this year's meeting. Read this MedPage Today article on how pulmonary hypertension was in the spotlight at CHEST
(National Pain Report) A new classification criterion for systemic sclerosis, a chronic autoimmune disease also known as scleroderma, could help physicians diagnose and begin treating patients sooner. The new criteria, developed by a joint committee formed by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the European League Against Rheumatism, are published in the ACR journal, Arthritis & Rheumatism. They are the first changes in the criteria since 1980. Read article
Today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the eleventh pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) treatment in the U.S., Actelion Pharmaceutical's macitentan (commercially known as Opsumit), an oral dual endothelin-receptor antagonist. This comes just ten days after the approval of riociguat (commercially known as Adempas) for the treatment of PAH and some cases of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). These two new drugs are the first in five years to be approved by FDA for treating PH. According to Healio, the phase 3 SERAPHIN drug trial for macitentan was the first to test a PAH drug for its effects on morbidity and mortality. Patients who took the drug showed lower rates of morbidity and mortality as compared to patients who received a placebo, showed improved six-minute walk tests and more showed improvement in their WHO functional class. Acknowledging the achievement of adding an eleventh drug to the choices for PAH patients in a rare disease state, PHA President Rino Aldrighetti said, "Of the 7,000 rare diseases, only three have as many or more treatments available. We are fortunate to have a strong and growing research community with great communication and cooperation. That has helped foster industry interest in exploring new options for patients."PHA itself has committed more than $12.5 million to support cutting-edge research focused on pulmonary hypertension. PHA has been able to leverage such substantial funding through partnerships with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), American Thoracic Society (ATS), American Heart Association (AHA), and Pfizer.

Firing Squad
Amplitude Studios, a new games development company based in Paris is developing a new space strategy game called "Endless Space"
Aiming to inherit the values of: Master of Orion, Civilization and to some extent Total War all of that with a strong focus on Multiplayer.
Looks promising & certainly worth checking out.
I don't feel a specific need to defend this game as its popularity can now do the talking, but sometimes people use a word that does not accurately describe the game. Bland is a poor choice. Overly complex, perhaps.
Jackswift85, you forgot to add in a scenario for people that liked a game from a decade ago and feel that belittling new games makes that old one better. Also forgot to ask if they think TBS and FPS are the same genre after asking if TBS and RTS are the same genre. Remember that the human mind is often uneducated and seldom concerned with logic.
I like this game, but it's sooo similar to GalCiv. I was hoping for something different, a reinvention of the genre or at least a different take. It's more a Galciv homage than it's own game.
Played around a bit.
Not hooked so far. The UI is very good, but something is missing flavour-wise... it's hard to pin-point what. Well, a few things are identifiable: the separate tech-trees don't work for me. Splitting them up doesn't work in Elemental, and it doesn't work here. They lose appeal and meaning: it all just feels like crawling through a spreadsheet.
Alpha Centauri might even have less techs in total (haven't counted them), but since they're all meaningfully interconnected, the tech tree as a whole feels GRAND, mysterious, hard and exciting to dominate.
I don't regret the purchase: there's potential, it was only 17€ and the devs might have bought themselves the time to bring vast improvements to the game. But I am really starting to think that the inspired game designs and visions of the past are very unlikely to resurface now.
The wait goes on.
It is really having an awesome and good interface. Thanks for sharing !!! Will keep an eye on this as it looks very interesting
I love it! It seems to be a great year for the 4x genre. A great FE beta, Warlock and now Endless Space. I really enjoy ES thusfar. Sure the similarities with GalCiv II are there but it feels like the next evolution. The tech tree is really nice, I really like the atmosphere of the game and like said the UI is the best I've ever seen in a 4x game. The FE UI is getting better but I hope that Stardock will take notice and improve further on it.
Great game, just bought it after 3 days "testing" of "torrent version"
Really like it, there are some thing to improve but it's more close to MoO2 than GalCiv.
The style is a bit different, as I said more like MoO2 and Accendancy but I really like it! Actually more that GalCiv1/2 - it was good when where nothing else around but never really "shined".
It is a great game and very good for multiplayer, because of the short wait times.
Downloaded it this morning, have been stuck playing it at my computer for the last 6 hours. Very interesting game so far. I'm getting an Alpha Centauri vibe when playing it, with different unlocks for new mechanics coming from tech trees. The empire building part feels highly complex, but the tactical combat on the other hand I feel like I have basically no control over (even with special orders).
Question: Are there new orders from anywhere? Hero unlocks? Tech unlocks? I haven't found any yet, but I'm guessing there should be more than the initial ones you have.
There are hero unlocks for different orders in combat, but they can cost money and are iffy. But I've only tried it a couple times.
It's a very good game. The only Space 4x I have been actually enjoying after MOO2 (Masters of Orion 2). It has less stuff than MOO2 but it's beautiful to look at, and quite fun.
In fact it is a lot like that game and hopefully with expansions could become as deep and interesting.
Compared to MOO2 it doesn't have: ground battles, a city development system with buildings one can actually see, a tech tree based on different kinds of government (dictatorship, communist, democracy etc...), an intelligence agency to spy and do sabotages. In other words it is great but so far very basic.
I strongly advise to try it out.
And it doesn't have teleportation.
Hero leveling is one way, but most of them cost dust to use and don't seem worth it compared to the standard ones (Ultimate Defense and the Black Hole one are the only ones worth anything). The standard way of getting more orders is teching up the 'right-side' tree (Science & Industry I think?). You'll find orders for offensive retreats, EMP blasts, locking beam weapons, deflecting beam weapons, adding armor on your ships, etc. When zoomed in all the way on the tech tree the battle orders should be denoted by a colored tab, red is for military I think (orange for industry, green for food, blue for science, etc.).
It does have teleportation. You can use wormholes later on to go from on to any other.
The devs posted a nice FAQ on their website for the post-release plans and direction, thought it might be relevant to a few of you here.
Now let me try to answer a few frequent questions since release:Right now:What are the main issues you are working on at the moment? We have been working on quite a lot of optimizations, AI tuning and gameplay tuning (things like Hero injury costs are being tweaked, traits costs balance to avoid OP builds and battle healing)Do you think you will be able to improve the multiplayer by adding new features like a team victory, with options to communicate with your partner?Globally I would love to add quite a few features to make the MP experience even smoother like MP default battle option selections, direct chat, better notification of players finishing their turn and other timer options.The new project: can you give us any ideas? Will you still work on Endless Space? How often will you deliver patches?Right now our focus is definitely Endless Space, and we'll look at Major content updates as well as continuous support. Patching wise, we consider our game a live game, and now as we can afford a full time dedicated team on the game, we could patch as soon as we have something that we believe could benefit the experience. Multiplayer: LAN support?It is not on our top priorities, but we'll do it eventually.Will there be Steam achievements? we were discussing it again today. we were so swamped with the release that we put it aside, to focus on core gameplay. But it is definitely something fun that we'll gladly try to put with our first major content update.Will you implement the Steam Cloud so we can play a saved game on any computer? our programmers are looking at several services offered by SteamWorks, like SteamCloud saves and the SteamWorkshop. no dates on that yet, but we want them in. Will you implement the Steam Workshop to makes modding easier?Probably quite a bit after the modding is added to the game. we don't want to delay the release of the modding to the community, even though installing and using mods at first will be "old school". You are already working on the Mac version. Do you plan on porting to Linux along with Steam and their Linux project?We have no plans for linux.What about a solo campaign in Endless Space?We are a sandbox game, so I doubt that we'll go for big campaigns. Yet I definitely would love to add more scenario support (which can be seen as some sort of campaigns...)Do you think you will be implementing ground battles and planetary invasion in some kind of expansion/DLC?We have plans for it, but I would love to work in top priority on the battles, diplomacy and espionage as big content updates. We'll pay a close attention to what you guys think of that ...Will you add Carriers/Strikecraft to improve battles?Definitely! Again Thank you all for all your support and feedback, and as I already said, the release of the game is just the beginning for us. Consider it as a foundation for great things to come!Spacetroll
For all those that are just getting into the game, I have started a let's play video series on Youtube:
Endless Space: Introduction and Basic Economy
After working through some of my game backlog (by playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which was awesome), I went ahead and picked Endless Space up. Really liking it so far, though the tech trees are kind of overwhelming when I'm looking for a tech that does a specific thing and don't know where it is.
Also having approval problems, but I think I expanded into too many systems too quickly.
There are some techs in the expansion tree that reduce expansion disapproval. Each one reduces it by 22% for a total of 88% by the endgame. Also make sure you alternate between morale improvement techs from the trade tree as you expand. I would recommend slow expansion in the early game as the AI will really hate you for it. It can cause alot of galactic tension. You are better off with less than 12 systems.
Don't listen to him! Cravers crave systems. Dust. Power. Flesh. EAT EAT EAT EAT
But yeah, don't skimp on the morale improvements. They introduced the expansion disapproval near the end of the beta and it single-handedly curbed the rampant "colonize everything" approach. I still think they should make the expansion disapproval for outposts disappear after they become full colonies (but by the time you've gotten several previous outposts into the core empire you've probably got a couple of the expansion disapproval techs anyways). Since you're currently only penalized per system and not per planet, those 6 planet systems are much more attractive, even if they don't have any green/blue jewel in them. Unless they're all toxic lavaballs. Of course if you're the Sowers that can still pay dividends...
Looks like this might be nice for multiplayer. I think I'll pass, however, given the nature of combat and what appears to be the AI's inability to deal with it.
The AI does need some work. The major challenge of the game is learning the nuances of its mechanics. Once you have that knowledge, the second highest difficulty is the only thing one can consider difficult. Multiplayer is great, but the challenge is finding a few good humans to play with. There are some balance problems, but most of them are minor and only come up in MP. There are only 15 devs for the game and many of them are on vacation. The rest are working on a Mac version and modding. I would guess the next major balance will come in a month or so. Still, I find lots more to learn each time I play. I don't think this game will ever be shelved for me.
I'm really liking this game. It's pretty well-crafted and fun. Seems to be designed with MP in mind, as turns go really fast once the tech tree is learned. It's not a 'deep' strategy game, it's more a beer-and-pretzels game one plays in one night with friends.
Approval info here http://endlessspace.wikia.com/wiki/Approval
It's like Civ4 in that if you expand too quickly your 'economy' crashes. Prioritize the 'approval' techs, just grab the very best planets at start, and your people will be ecstatic (very important to keep the Empire approval at EDIT-- Fervent, not ecstatic (if you can get the important planets individually to ecstatic that's perfect) END EDIT, lower tax rate to achieve this, even if you temporarily lost dust/turn).
There's a few other techs I prioritize:
N-Way fusion Plants to build Heavy Isotope Refineries (this is my first researched tech and first build after the 'exploit planet' build) (right side of tech tree
Efficient Shielding (destroyers) then Applied Casimir Effects (for wormhole travel and -22% expansion dissapproval) (bottom of tech tree)
Non-Baryonic Particles to build Magnetic Field Generators (big research boost early on) (right side of tech tree)
The tech tree is confusing at first, but I soon realized if I zoom in I can see the 1 or 2 things unlocked from a tech, and those things have color-coded cues (for example, the approval-enhancing ones have a pink triangle in their upper right corner, this corresponds to the colors on the Empire page (food is green, industry is orange, etc.). There's lots of 'clues' like this I eventually discovered that make the game easier to figure out, and shows how much effort they put into the UI.
All-in-all a well-crafted game that's fun, and deserves a looksee.
From what I could tell a while back, ES lacked a distinctive diplomatic screen for each of the races, and any kind of "flavor" in diplomatic contact. This is an area I really enjoyed in the GC games. Has this been remedied?
No flavour in diplomatic contact last I checked.
I'm crossing my fingers that they continue to properly support and update this title. I really like it.
Iceberg announced details of the upcoming expansion for Endless Space today, called "Disharmony"

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Uranium Country Notes
South Africa
Between the late 1940s and the early 1970s uranium exploration was pursued as an adjunct to exploration for gold, centred on the quartz-pebble conglomerates in the Witwatersrand Basin in the Transvaal. The 1973-1974 oil crisis triggered intensified exploration for uranium, leading to the country's first primary uranium mine (Beisa) being commissioned in 1981. Output as a by-product of gold mining had begun 30 years previously, and by 1959 26 mines in the Witwatersrand Basin were supplying 17 processing plants, resulting in an annual output of nearly 5 000 tonnes.
Between the late 1980s and the early 1990s, a substantial reduction in production capacity took place; subsequent closures brought the total of operational production centres at the beginning of 2002 down to two, each served by a single mine. The companies in production were Vaal River Operations at Klerksdorp, and Palabora Mining Company in the Northern Province; uranium production by the latter company, as a by-product of copper mining, ceased during the year.
Uranium production in South Africa is a by-product of gold mining and thus highly dependent on the dynamics of the world gold markets. Gold output in South Africa declined by some 20% between 2004 and 2006 and uranium production followed suit: 747 tU in 2004, 674 tU in 2005 and an estimated 640 tU in 2006. Total uranium output in 2005 was the eleventh largest national level in the world. The cumulative output of uranium in South Africa up to the end of 2005 exceeded 159 000 tonnes.
South Africa's uranium production will receive a boost as sxr Uranium One's Dominium mine comes into production during 2007; processing of underground ore had begun by the beginning of March, with the initial annual production rate planned to be 1 460 tU.
The country's RAR (at up to US$ 80/kgU), consisting to a considerable extent of quartz-pebble conglomerates, came to just over 177 000 tonnes by the end of 2005, equivalent to 6.7% of the world total. Further resources are on a commensurately large scale: about 78 000 tU of RAR recoverable at
US$ 80-130/ kgU, over 85 000 tU of IR recoverable at up to US$ 130/kgU, 110 000 tU of PR in the same cost range, and more than 1.1 million tU in the speculative category (with no cost range assigned).

"Ready or Hot?" Climate Smart Southwest conference in September
by Carolyn Classen on May. 13, 2013, under Education, Health, LifePhysicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) Arizona chapter is sponsoring a conference in Tucson on September 20 and 21, so save the dates now and register online for the Saturday all day event (click here). Friday night talk will be free, but it costs $35 for the Saturday workshops/conference.
Friday, Sept. 20
Unisource Building Conference Room
88 East Broadway in Tucson.
Eric Klinenberg, an inspiring, nationally known speaker (author of the critically acclaimed book, Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago) will hold a public talk.
(Free and open to the public)Saturday, Sept. 21
7:30 AM until 4:30 PM
Tucson Convention Center
Meeting RoomsThe Purpose of this Conference:
This conference is being organized by the Arizona Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility with the support of a coalition of co-sponsoring community and national organizations as well as local leaders. The purpose is to build new and fortify existing cross-cultural, community, and governmental partnerships to educate and engage community action to address the anticipated public health impacts of climate change in the Southwest.
Why It's Very Important:
Extreme weather events in the Southwestern U.S. and adjacent Borderlands are on the rise and with them, higher incidences of health-related impacts such as heat stress, newly emerging infectious diseases, asthma and other respiratory illnesses. Moreover, as the "hottest, driest part of the United States," our region is already experiencing longer and more intense heat waves and (the threat of wide scale power blackouts), a "dramatic spike" in forest fires, severe dust storms, and changes in the amount and timing of rainfall and seasonal snowmelt that threatens water resources and food security. While these events are alarming, communities in the Southwest are preparing for these risks and other impacts outlined in the new National Climate Assessment through planning and prevention strategies aimed at reducing our vulnerability to extreme weather and local climate impacts.
Who Should Attend:
Community and neighborhood leaders, formal and informal educators, citizen activists, government and non-profit agency personnel;
Climate scientists, and health professionals in the Southwestern U.S. Northern Mexico, and First Nations who have an interest in community based action for preparedness to develop more resilient neighborhoods, towns, cities, borders regions, and tribal lands;
National leaders and members of PSR, environmental groups, and policy making agency representatives.The Conference Experience: see detailed agenda online (click here).
Conference Goals:
1. Actively address the issue of the public health challenges in the face of climate change in the Southwest through the offering of distinguished speakers and facilitated stakeholder workshops designed to encourage and develop new leaders (and to support and re-energize existing leaders) in building innovative community organizing strategies for climate change adaptation.
2. Sustain the work of these community leaders into the future by providing networking opportunities, resources (see deliverables below), and mentoring.
3. Offer a replicable model for engaging communities in climate adaptation throughout the nation
Conference Objectives:
To provide a public forum for facilitated stakeholder input into the development of six strategic plans for building resilience into these areas of climate risk vulnerability:
Assuring Local and Regional Food Security,Availability, and Safety
Integrating Health Care, Emergency Medical Response and Disaster Preparedness
Promoting Mental Well-being and and Spiritual Health
Educating Our Children and Schools for New Environmental Problem Solving
Building Resilience in Our Cultural Diversity with Cross Cultural and Cross Border Cooperation
Organizing to Strengthen and Support Our Most Vulnerable Community MembersConference Deliverables:
A summary report of the conference that includes an evaluation of how well we met our objectives based on a survey of stakeholder responses on knowledge, attitudes, and overall satisfaction with the conference
Distribution of this report to all attendees via a follow up email and link a to a web resource
A resource manual in a downloadable PDF format
Follow-up 3-hour facilitated workshop with senior government personnel to support the integration of the resource manual and stakeholder input into planning and preparedness for climate change in Tucson and Pima County.
I heard Dr. Barbara Warren, MPH one of the organizers of this conference speak at Drinking Liberally a few weeks ago, and she talked about those six working groups above on 1) preparedness/emergencies 2) mental health & well-being 3) food & water security 4) education of children 5) vulnerable populations 6) cross-cultural concerns & the border w/ Mexico. Contact Dr. Warren is you are interested in serving on any of these groups at firstname.lastname@example.com. I honestly think that we in this Southwest desert need to learn to raise our air conditioning temperature control knob and not "refrigerate" ourselves so much during May to September, as well as plan for wise water use for a growing population.
Register early and save these dates of September 20 and 21 for this "Ready or Hot?" conference.

Kate Beckinsale had a rough start in life. Her father, comedian and British sitcom star Richard Beckinsale, died in his sleep when the Oxford-educated beauty was only 5. The loss threw her into a deep depression that lasted well into her teen years when she also withered to just 70 pounds after developing anorexia. After four years of almost daily therapy, she'd healed enough to join the family business in the early '90s, focusing first on English projects like Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing, Cold Comfort Farm and a TV adaptation of Emma before going abroad to work on projects like The Last Days of Disco, Brokedown Palace, Pearl Harbor, Click and Serendipity. But The Aviator's Ava Gardner imitator is perhaps at her personal best when she is kicking butt as she did in the four Underworld films, Van Helsing, Whiteout and 2012's Total Recall remake. Of course, when it comes to her only child Lily, a byproduct of her nine-year relationship with Michael Sheen, she's a big softie. A few months after breaking up with Sheen in early 2003, she started seeing their Underworld director Len Wiseman on her days off, stridently denying any earlier infidelity, and married him in 2004.

Las Vegas -- The National Association of Home Builders sees the residential construction industry gaining momentum in a larger economy that includes a few wild cards.
At the International Builders' Show here in Las Vegas, the Washington, D.C.-based trade association updated its 2013 housing starts forecast to 949,000 starts in 2013, up 21.5% from the prior year. At the end of January, the group had forecast 932,000.
Single-family starts are anticipated to rise 22% from 535,000 last year to 650,000 in 2013, according to NAHB chief economist David Crowe. They are expected to jump an additional 30% in 2014 to 844,000 units.
On the multi-family side, NAHB is anticipating that starts will increase 22% from 246,000 units last year to 299,000 in 2013, and rise an additional 6% to 317,000 units in 2014.
"Nearly every measure of housing market strength -- sales, starts, prices, permits and builder confidence -- has been trending upward in recent months, and we expect to see gradual but steady growth along these lines in 2013," Crowe said.
Among the possible challenges to an increasingly strong recovery are tight mortgage lending conditions, inaccurate appraisals, rising prices of materials and declining inventory of buildable lots, Crowe said.

Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chronographe Réctangulaire Full Black Watch & Their Bering Strait Expedition
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches, Sports
Maurice Lacroix fitted the kiteboarders with their new Pontos Chronograph Rectangulaire Full Black watch (which I previously wrote about here). Not exactly an "extreme sports watch, but not too bad as matched to their outfits. It was a great endurance test for the timepieces as well. Seeing if they could put up with the water, wind, and potential shock. The watches also proved to be good timing instruments of the kiteboarders. Not my first choice but they did make without failure. The watch itself is in a special ceramic black coating over steel case with a rubber strap. Not too large at 38mm wide, and it contains a Swiss ETA 7750 chronograph automatic movement. We will see what other bouts of harshness Maurice Lacroix can put their timepieces through next!
