BRAD DOKKEN: Reasons for hunting mirror results from national survey
Spending time outdoors, having fun with friends and family outrank the taking of gameBy: Brad Dokken, Grand Forks Herald
Like most people, I suspect, I've long been a fan of polls and surveys, and the results from a recent survey conducted by the online polling group HunterSurvey.com caught my attention this week.
As part of the survey, the pollsters asked people why they like to hunt. Respondents could check any or all of seven reasons that reflected their motivations.
According to the survey results, none of the reasons stood out above the rest, but the options and answers were as follows:
• Like to spend time outdoors: 92 percent.
• Enjoy seeing wildlife: 87 percent.
• Enjoy the peace and quiet of the outdoors: 87 percent.
• Enjoy the challenge: 80 percent.
• Like to spend time with friends and family who hunt: 74 percent.
• Like providing food for family and friends: 70 percent.
• Other: 9 percent.
In a news release, Rob Southwick, president of Southwick Associates, the polling group that designed the survey, said the results match research from the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
"From spending time with family and friends outdoors to the peace and solitude of being alone in nature, hunting is much more than taking game," Southwick said. "Future efforts to increase hunting, or to successfully promote hunting-related products and services, must emphasize fun, social interactions and the total outdoor experience hunting provides."
When it comes to the outdoors, I've always identified myself as a fisherman more than a hunter. Waterfowl hunting never did it for me, mostly because I've never had much success at it. I'm not a very good wing shooter and I definitely don't like getting up at 4 a.m.
I've gotten back into deer hunting the past few years, and I've tasted success, but my favorite is upland game. I especially enjoy hunting ruffed grouse, although I have trouble hitting them most of the time.
Even during the so-called "down years" in the 10-year boom-and-bust cycle of ruffed grouse populations, I'll be in the woods every chance I get.
My reasons basically mirror the results of the survey. Hosting friends at the place "Up North," hanging out by the fire at night while geese fly overhead and wolves occasionally howl somewhere off in the distance and breathing in the smell of decaying leaves on crisp October days in the woods … that's why I hunt.
That's why all of us hunt.
The "October Trip," as it's come to be known, is a tradition that has seen kids grow into young men and new kids join in to share the adventure. We've bagged our share of grouse, but like the hunters responding to the survey, the reasons for venturing afield run far deeper.
It's the good times, the memories and the tales from previous years — some of which fall into the "what goes on in camp, stays in camp" category — that keep us coming back.
Hunting is the underlying thread, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't anticipate the Saturday night main course of "grouse casserole" every fall. But if killing grouse was the sole motivation, we'd only get together two or three times a decade when populations were at their peak.
The birds are just a bonus.
Boats — not birds
Another survey to catch my attention came from Wisconsin, where researchers have concluded boaters — and not ducks or other birds — are the culprits behind the spread of aquatic invasive species in the state's rivers and lakes.
"Well, duh!" was my first response.
As part of the study conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, researchers spent five years monitoring remote, wilderness lakes and lakes with boat access. According to preliminary results, none of the wilderness lakes had any invasive species. By comparison, 30 percent of the lakes with boat access had Eurasian milfoil, 18 percent had zebra mussels and three lakes had spiny water fleas.
"The fact that accessible lakes are the ones that are invaded indicates that these species are moved by boaters," Alex Latzka, a University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate student involved in the research, said in a news release. "While birds could transport invasive species from one lake to another, our finding that remote lakes do not have invasive species strongly indicates that birds are not an important factor."
That's something for all of us to think about next time we grumble about having to remove the drain plugs from our boats during transport or pull weeds from the trailer at the boat ramp. The consequences of getting it wrong are too severe to ignore.

By Mayo Clinic staffGonorrhea is an infection caused by a sexually transmitted bacterium that can infect both males and females. Gonorrhea most often affects the urethra, rectum or throat. In females, gonorrhea can also infect the cervix.
Gonorrhea is most commonly spread during sex. But babies can be infected during childbirth if their mothers are infected. In babies, gonorrhea most commonly affects the eyes.
Gonorrhea is a common infection, and in some cases, causes no symptoms. You may not even know that you're infected. Abstaining from sex, using a condom if you do have sex and being in a mutually monogamous relationship are the best ways to prevent sexually transmitted infections.

President Demetris Christofias of Cyprus told Parliament on Wednesday that tackling poverty and social exclusion was a key Presidency goal. Completion of the budget negotiations was also a priority, he said. The need to resolve the issue of the division of the island of Cyprus was raised by several MEPs during the debate.
"A more social Europe is what we need, especially during these difficult economic times", said President Christofias. He insisted that EU decision-making should involve the EU institutions, and not be restricted to governments, and he stressed the need to "face challenges together".
Agreement on the EU's multinannual budget and on the 2013 budget and speeding up work on energy, research and innovation policies and on reforms to farm and fisheries policies were also high on the Cyprus Presidency agenda, the president said.
The Commission president, José Manuel Barroso, voiced his "confidence in the readiness of Cyprus to take over this Presidency". He agreed with President Christofias that the EU institutions must work fast and cooperate closely on legislation. He hoped solutions would found rapidly for the EU patent and the Schengen Evaluation Mechanism.
For the EPP group, Joseph Daul pointed again to the need to step up efforts on the Single Market Act and the Digital Single Market as "all these policies will generate growth and jobs".
Hannes Swoboda, for the S&D group, called for an effective banking supervision system, saying: "we need better spending but this doesn't mean budget cuts. We want a budget that generates growth".
Mr Swoboda regretted Turkey's stance vis-a-vis the Cyprus Presidency but said both communities on the island must be defended. Graham Watson, for the ALDE group, said Cyprus should "lead by example" and work closely with Turkey to resolve the situation. Responding to a question from Mr Kasoulides (EPP, CY), Mr Watson said he was "not criticising Cyprus" and wanted to see Cyprus "use EU influence in order to solve the problems on the island".
Rebecca Harms, representing the Greens/EFA group, called on the EU to act responsibly and warned that today's politicians "are more party politicians than European politicians". She also wondered whether the decisions taken at the last summit would have any real impact.
Martin Callanan said his party, the ECR, did not want to see the EU fail and backed the Cyprus Presidency's goal of making Europe more effective. He supported the single market but strongly criticised Eurozone decisions and the increase in member states' contributions to the EU budget.
Gabriele Zimmer (GUE/NGL) said: "Europe is facing gigantic challenges" but she was confident that the Cyprus Presidency was prepared for them. She pointed out that this was the first time an EU Presidency was focusing on the well-being of citizens in need.
"Your Presidency is starting in the midst of a difficult situation", said Niki Tzavela, (EFD), adding that energy independence must be given priority, with trade relations that could help achieve this for the whole EU.

My husband and I just stayed here for a weekend. We were only planning to stay one night at the B and B and then stay at a ski resort but almost as soon as we walked in and met Tom Groton, my husband and I looked at each other and said, let's cancel the resort. We had the place to ourselves and Tom and Lois made us feel like we were right at home. I can't remember the last time I felt so welcomed and relaxed while traveling. We can't wait to go back.

I surprised my husband to his first Bed & Breakfast ever, we chose the Gorton House and we are so delighted that we did! Lois & Tom are amazing and wonderful people we've ever met. The B & B is breath taking, we took the paddle boat out, sat and visited with Lois & Tom, had an amazing evening and in the morning, Lois & Tom was busy in the kitchen preparing a fabulous gourmet breakfast. It was out of this world! We have decided that the Gorton House is "Our" annual place to go. Thank you Lois & Tom for a beautiful experience, my husband has beamed about his first B&B experience!!! What a beautiful memory you helped us create! Until next time...

My wife & I stayed in the second floor Gilded Lady bedroom which overlooks the lake and spectacular sunrises. The breakfasts in the sunroom were gourmet, while we watched hummingbirds and songbirds feeding only a few feet away. We enjoyed exploring the lake with their paddle boat & kayaks, soaking in the hot tub, and warming ourselves by the outdoor fire pit before bed. Our hosts Tom & Lois were personable & fun.

Our family has stayed several times at the Gorton House. Lois and Tom are wonderful hosts. The house is perfect, comfortable beds, each room has its own bathroom. We enjoy playing all the games and billards at the end of the day. The porch is my favorite, to sit and watch the birds while I have a cup of coffee over looking the lake. The breakfast is always fantastic. We love to use the paddle boat to fish, or kayak to the swimming hole. This is the place my family comes to relax and make memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much!

I enjoyed my stay so much. The B&B was just beautiful. Lois is a wonderful lady, great cook and a BIG help with us novice quilters. The surroundings are like being in Heaven. It is so quiet, so peaceful. The lake is just beautiful. And Miss Katie, the "princess" cat is so friendly. I really had a wonderful stay. I'm ready to go back. Linda Gallond

Meals were very elegant. Owners were friendly and helpful. Always had a fire going in the living room. Great views of the lake and did I say quiet?

This was a very nice two-day stay for me and my husband. The house sits right on the lake and provides beautiful scenery. We enjoyed paddleboating on the lake, as well as playing pool on the antique pool table. The breakfasts were delicious-Lois is an excellent cook! We loved the room-it was beautifully decorated and cozy. The only thing we did not care for is that some of the outdoor amenities were not prepared for visitors. I.e., the outdoor furniture had not been cleaned, the boathouse was full of spiderwebs, as well as the paddleboat. We also noticed that there was a hot tub, but it looked like it hadn't been used in years. Overall, we have a great time and look forward to staying there again.

Thank you for you comments.......in Northern Michigan it is extremely difficult to keep the bug count down, they crop up every 2 minutes. The Hot Tub has been down only this winter and Spring we have not been able to afford to have it repaired, but hopefully soon. Sorry about that..........thank you for staying at the Gorton House.

So what exactly is a scaled lightsaber?Many of our customers have asked what a scaled replica lightsaber is. Does it have lights or sounds, can you fight with them, and how big are they? So here's your answer: Here is a Qui-Gon Jinn Collector's Edition lightsaber next to the Qui-Gon Jinn scaled replica lightsaber. You can immediately see a big difference. The Collector's Edition lightsaber is the exact size of the hero prop used in the movies, so it's an accurate scale of the lightsaber. The Scaled lightsaber is an exact .45 scale of the Collector's Edition lightsaber. Unlike the Force FX lightsabers, neither of them has any lights or sounds or even a blade. They are not to fight with in any way. The CE lightsaber can be worn as a hero prop on a costume or put on a handsome table top display. The scaled lightsaber could only be used as a hero prop for a toddler as it's physically too small to use otherwise. It too comes with a handsome table top display and looks really nice in a collection. |

Australia's Great Barrier Reef is threatened by pollution and toxic substances being carried out to sea by the devastating floods that have been causing havoc in the eastern state of Queensland for the past few weeks.
Researchers at James Cook's University are concerned that as floodwaters empty into the Coral Sea on Australia's eastern coast, they will bring with them pesticides, heavy metal residue and other toxins washed away from farms and abandoned mines.
"Because coral animals derive most of their food through the photosynthesis that takes place from microscopic algae living in their tissue, corals need warm, clear water to survive," said Rick MacPherson, conservation program director for the Coral Reef Alliance in a statement emailed to CBC News.

Living in a Hyde Park apartment may automatically raise your I.Q. This neighborhood plays host to the University of Chicago. All the education in the air is bound to rub off some! Students, professors, and others have been flocking to Hyde Park since 1893, when Rockefeller donated money for the University. Hyde Park is on the sedate side for a college town, however. Expect more serious studying than fraternity mayhem. With parkland on three sides, Hyde Park is also quite an attractive place to call home.
Chicago annexed Hyde Park in 1889. Three years later, the University of Chicago—one of the world's most prestigious schools—opened its doors. Hyde Park benefitted from the student influx. Economic decline hit Hyde Park in the 1950s, but it was followed by urban renewal in the 1960s. This allowed the neighborhood to remain diverse while avoiding the plight and blight that afflicted other Chicago neighborhoods.
Hyde Park is a great place to be a student. Independent bookstores, cafés, and inexpensive restaurants can all be found along these streets. You wont have trouble finding Asian restaurants or other kinds of ethnic eateries. The Hyde Park Shopping Center has a grocery store and other essentials.
In terms of attractions, the Museum of Science and Industry offers exhibits for all ages. The 57th Street Art Fair, started in 1948, is one of Chicago's oldest. Promontory Point provides amazing views up and down the lakeshore as well as a place to swim. Large Jackson and Washington parks are connected by the Midway. This network of grassland helps make Hyde Park a perfect place to walk or bike.
A large student population means rental opportunities abound. The racially diverse residents of Hyde Park rent apartments and condos, including some in lakeshore high-rises. While a lot of those living here are associated with the University of Chicago, many just appreciate the area's perks. The average two-bedroom in Hyde Park rents for $1,110 a month.
Hyde Park is far from the Loop and commuting isn't the easiest. Buses run downtown or to Red and Green Line 'L' stations. Metra's Electric Line and South Shore Line stop in Hyde Park.
Hyde Park falls within two Chicago City Council wards—the 4th and the 5th. Near here, you'll find the Blackstone Branch of the Chicago Public Library. There are two United States Post Offices in Hyde Park, one of them on campus.
Zip codes serving Hyde Park are 60615 and 60637.

Xen 3.2 Released
Version 3.2 of the Xen Open Source virtualization solution is now available. The new release not only adds new features, but comes with many modifications under-the-hood.
Various security modules (XSM) have been added to the new version of Xen as has support for ACPI S3 (Suspend to RAM) for the host system. Support for sharing PCI devices with the virtual machine is still experimental. Xen relies on integrated hardware virtualization support provided by state-of-art CPUs for this.
At the same time x86 emulation was improved to support previously unsupported boot loaders on paravirtualized systems, says Keir Fraser from the Xen developer team in the Release announcement. Other improvements include VGA emulation and configurable timers for HVM guest systems.
Prebuilt packages for Xen 3.2 are not yet available for downloading, however, they will be posted in the next few days. If you are interested in trying out the latest version right now, you can download the source code via the Mercurial version control system and build Xen from scratch. The Release announcement includes a how-to that describes the build process.

Division II's 40th year will be one of its most important, as shown by the overarching strategies and priorities that were approved Tuesday at the fall meeting of the Division II Presidents Council.
"We are at an important time in our division's history," said chair Pat O'Brien, president of West Texas A&M University. "We will be involved throughout 2013 in several important examinations and initiatives that will shape Division II for years to come."
The three overarching strategies for 2013 are:
The overarching strategies are based on the 2012-15 Division II strategic plan, which was released to the Division II membership at the 2012 Convention.
"Sometimes there's a tendency to think of strategic plans as pie-in-the-sky documents, but we have a plan that directs specific actions," said Division II Vice President Mike Racy. "We have some very particular work before us that will have long-lasting effects."
The 10 priorities for 2013 (and the overarching strategy under which they fall) are:
Promote the success of our student-athletes.
Emphasize Division II as a division that offers exceptional value to its membership.
Continue to live the "collegiate model" philosophy in Division II.
The overarching strategies and priorities will be discussed in detail during the 2013 Convention in Grapevine, Texas.
In other actions at its Oct. 29-30 meeting, the Division II Presidents Council:
Voted to support a Great Lakes Valley and South Atlantic Conference 2013 Convention proposal to specify that during a student-athlete's initial year of collegiate enrollment, participation in preseason exhibition contests or dates of competition and preseason scrimmages (competition that occurs before the first countable contest or date of competition in the sport) will not result in the use of a season of competition.

TOT or MGE?
1. How do I place invisible cities? I have tried clicking around and that only landed me with tired fingers. And I can't deal with having tired fingers. O no.
2. How do I eliminate the units' health bars? I have downloaded the spritegen exe file and I am using it on the relevant unit space in the relevant units.bmp file. Yet no matter how hard I try, the "Hidden Hill Base" units still have their highly unhidden health bars over them. These make them stick out like a sore thumb and thus players can see the buggers.
TOT or MGE?
Deleting unit health bars with MGE is easy: place the blue (R:0, G:0, B:255, palette index 250) shield position marker dots at the extreme top-right and left-bottom positions on a unit's green border lines. You'll have to do this by manually editing the units file with a graphics program as the crappy in-game editor won't let you place shields / health bars outside a restricted region.
ToT: you need Meractor's Civsprite utility and you'll have to use the sprite file as opposed to a units.bmp. See Boco's El Aurens scenario.
I've succeeded in eliminating the health bars - the process was quite simple and I was just being obtuse.
How do I place invisible cities? And can they produce units that walk around the normal map if I do?
"lol internet" ~ AAHZ
Aha, here's the thread: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=74683
It looks like those cities will not be able to get units onto the main map, they'll stay on the parallel universe.
Indifference is Bliss
(for the health bars)
I don't think you can place invisible cities without going through all sorts of troubles (i.e. hex-editing)...
I think Henrik did it by creating a settler via events on an (odd,even) or (even,odd) square, but that can really only be used purely as a label. It creates all sorts of problems if you want those cities to actually do anything like producing units. (This is what N35t0r just posted)
Or, um, actually, I made a utility that can do it. It isn't really "official" because I haven't properly tested it yet (and probably never will)... I think I've posted it here once before, or e-mailed it to some people.
I just made a few improvements to it, so I'll just attach it again. But you still use it at your own risk! It might be buggy, and it doesn't make any backups, so you'll have to do that yourself!
You'll need a few files too, such as the VB6 run-time files, to get it to work. If you don't have those already, you can find them on my utility site (see signature/homepage). If you then get a missing file error, you'd need to install MapEdit.
CivEngineer can add/remove certain tile improvements to/from specific squares.
Let me see, here's what you could do:
- First, you should mark the tiles you want to put your invisible cities on. Before you build those cities, change the terrain on those squares to a terrain type that isn't being used anywhere else on the map (or at least not by squares with other, visible, cities, airbases or transporters on it). Then build the cities... You can change the terrain back later, after you made the cities invisible.
If the above isn't possible (e.g. all terrain types are all over the place), you could use units instead. Put units in the soon-to-be-invisible cities. But again, make sure there are no units whatsoever on transporter squares, airbases or in visible cities!- Do whatever you have to do with the cities, while they are still visible. After using my utility, you will only be able to access them via the City Status screen.
- Start CivEngineer and open your savegame (using the Browse... button)... Don't forget to make a backup first!
- Select Remove in the drop-down box, choose City Present in the left list, and select the proper terrain type (or the Unit Present flag) in the list on the right.
- Click Save to save the changes (and possibly Exit if you want to quit, or Close if you want to edit another file)
- You can now reload your savegame. Hopefully, all marked cities have now become invisible. You can only see the city name on the map. Other than that, it's a perfectly normal square. And yes, these cities produce units as normal.
- Now the city has become invisible, you can change the terrain back to its former self, before you made the city invisible.
As you will see when you open a file in CivEngineer, you can do lots of other stuff with it as well...
The main thing to keep in mind is that the list on the right acts like an OR list, so to speak. For example. if you would select "Desert", "River" and "Road", all desert squares, all river squares and all road squares will be affected.
If, say, you would want to add roads to all squares, except rivers and ocean, you first add roads to all land terrain and then remove it again from all river squares.
Oh, and by the way, this works for ALL versions of Civ2 (well, except unpatched MGE), including ToT multi-map games. For multi-map games, you'll get to see four buttons at the top (named Map 1 through Map 4) with which you can make your changes for each of the maps separately.

This look scary, but I'll give it a try over the weekend sometime. I am always amazed by the sheer depth of creativity that people will go to to alter a game... Good work!
Hey! It's not just 'a game' it's 'THE Game'
Indifference is Bliss
Well, it's not that scary. If you make a backup of your savegame there's little that can go wrong. You can just play around with CivEngineer a little to get the hang of what exactly it's doing.
Can a city name be three blank spaces?
Blog | Civ2 Scenario League | leo.petr at gmail.com
Yes it can, but you'll have to use Alt+0160 at least once. I just tried renaming a city to three spaces, and ToT turned it into 3 underscores. When I used Alt+0160 and two spaces, it was fine.
Oh, now that there's a discussion about such stuff, I recalled I have a little problem. I'd like a city to be called Constantinopolis, but I CAN'T NAME IT THAT WAY. It's one letter too long. Can You change the letters limit?

"I realise I hold the key to freedom,

How do I alter the color in the "head" of TOT health bars to colors that are both easily distinguished and unique to each civ? I'm trying to play techumseh's Market Garden scen and am having unnecessary difficulty because of the lack of contrast between the German grey and the Allied brown
I've looked at the Midgard scenario, where the "heads" have different, reasonably distinct colors, so that it should be possible to do the same in Market Garden.
Can I hexedit the .scn file to reassign civ colors or do I have to move the German and Allied civs in RULES?
Excerpts from the Manual of the Civilization Fanatic :
Money can buy happiness, just raise the luxury rate to 50%.
Money is not the root of all evil, it is the root of great empires.
It's at the top right of the units.bmp file: the pink area (R:255, G:0, B:255) of the health bar equates to the unique civ colour - increase the area covered by this pink to increase the size of the civ colour coverage.
Yes, that much I know.
What I want to do is to change the colors that the "heads" of German (grey) and Allied (brown) health bars have on the game map. The two colors look much too similar.
If the color of the "heads" of the health bars were distinctly different, it would be much easier to distinguish the units of the two combatants. I'm wondering how to change them to two very distinct colors like, for example, white and blue.
Thanks for the tip on enlarging the colored portion of the head of the health bar.
Excerpts from the Manual of the Civilization Fanatic :
Money can buy happiness, just raise the luxury rate to 50%.
Money is not the root of all evil, it is the root of great empires.
You can change the colors in the cities.bmp:
Unfortunately, the color in the health bar will always be a drab, dark variant of it. The RGB values are halved to get that color. For instance, even if you make a civ bright blue, RGB(0,0,255), the color in the shield will be dark blue, approximately RGB(0,0,128). I say approximately, because there will be slight differences due to the 15-bit nature of ToT graphics.
Thank you very much for your explanation and the link.
If I had checked this thread sooner, I could have saved myself a couple of hours work locating in which Midgard file the different colors are defined and then looking at the same file in techumseh's Market Garden scen.
Cam Hill's article is excellent. It was some consolation that other players have had problems with this, so mine is not the only voice crying in the wilderness. I found his advice to designers " Are the colours in both the bright and dark form clearly distinguishable from other tribes? " to be spot on.
Do you know if Draco Omega ever finished his "the Sprite Workshop"?
After a trivial edit job on CITIES, I now have no more excuses for not playing Market Garden.
Excerpts from the Manual of the Civilization Fanatic :
Money can buy happiness, just raise the luxury rate to 50%.
Money is not the root of all evil, it is the root of great empires.
Why can't a city be made invisible simply by using a blank in the cities.gif? You'd have to shift the size box to the bottom right or simply use the 'invisible' colours for its flag and colour bar?
No, he didn't. I made CivSprite and SpriteGen, though, (largely thanks to his and Angelo Scotto's findings) which can be used to edit the sprite files. Unfortunately, they are quite limited. And that won't likely change soon.Originally posted by AGRICOLA

But the main point of making the cities invisible was to make them inaccessible. A city that can never be taken.Originally posted by kobayashi

We are officially homeless, as our house in SE Washington State has sold. As of next week when we pick up our home on wheels, we will be on the road full time. As more people discover the new album "True Love Waits", it is making it easier to get bookings. A big thanks to all of my fans! God Bless each and every one of you! It's because of you that I do what I do!
What is it that attracts people to the music of 19 year old, Cale Moon? Is it the shock factor of having a voice that sounds many years beyond his age? Or is it his prolific song writing that is equally as deep and rich, and shows wisdom and emotion far beyond his years? Maybe it's that pure, down home, honest smile, and contagious personality that is so inviting, that people just can't resist?
Whatever "it" is, Cale Moon seems to have more than his share of "it".
Who would have believed, back in 2009 when Cale started learning the guitar, that just a few years later, he would be a full time country artist, living on the road, his family sacrificing their home, to help Cale pursue his dream? How does someone go from learning the guitar, to writing over 150 songs, and performing over 400 times, and releasing 2 albums in such a short time? Well let me tell you some of the highlights.
In 2009, at the age of 15, Cale was chosen to be on Team USA, to compete at the World Championships Of Performing Arts. He competed in acting, modeling, and singing competitions. To be able to perform one of his own original songs that he had just written, he needed to learn the guitar, to be able to accompany himself. With only two and a half months to prepare, it seemed like a long shot. With hard work and dedication, Cale did everything he could to be prepared for that event, and prepared he was. Cale was chosen to be in the finals in 2 categories, acting and vocals. Receiving 7 Gold Medals, 5 Silver Medals, and 2 Bronze Medals, as well as the glass star for Jr. World Champion Actor. A very unlikely start, but that is what headed Cale in the direction he is still heading today.
In February of 2010, thanks to his manager at the time, Patrick Hart, Cale was given an opportunity of a lifetime, to co-write with renowned song writers Steve Dorff and Bobby Tomberlin. From that experience, came the song "A Country Song". The rest of the year was spent between performing, writing songs, and school.
2011 was a banner year in Cale's career. It Started January 1st, cutting his first Demo at Rainmaker Studios in Kennewick Washington. A few months later, Cale recorded his first full length album "The Beginning" with Brook Floyd, and Joe Smart, at Rainmaker Studios. "The Beginning" released on April 27th of 2011. Within a couple of weeks, he started receiving calls from people in Nashville, wanting Cale to come and talk to them, so within a month, he was in Nashville.
While in Nashville, thanks to "Big Bear" (Barry Long) from KORD 102.7 in Pasco WA, Cale met with Fred Vail, owner of Treasure Isle Recorders in Nashville, which started a friendship that would bring more people and opportunities in Cale's life.
Thanks to some incredible people that invested in Cale, he was able to record his album "True Love Waits" at Treasure Isle in October of 2011. Eight of the ten songs on this album were written by Cale, and with musicians like lead guitarist Chris Leuzinger, drummer Chad Cromwell, pianist Tim Lauer, acoustic guitarist B James Lowrey, Bassist Dave Pomeroy, guitarist George Marinelli, and the steel guitar and dobro of Dan Dugmore, it is no accident that it turned out so well!
While in Nashville recording, Cale also had the honor of singing 2 of his original songs for the live broadcast of the Nashville Cowboy Church, at the Texas Troubadour Theatre. In the midst of all of this, Cale continued to perform and write songs at an incredible pace.
In 2012, Cale continued to write even more of his incredible songs, and continued to perform wherever he was invited. Most of which were as a returning artist. Venues such as the Pendleton Round Up, Central Washington State Fair, Yakima Valley Fair and Rodeo, Benton Franklin Fair and Rodeo, Watermelon Festival, and many others.
In August, he was invited to be one of the performers at the first annual Watershed Country Music Festival, at the famous Gorge Amphitheatre which is now the West's largest country music festival. In the fall of 2012, Cale and his family (dad, mom, and sister) started making decisions and planning for what would be a huge step, and not one that many are willing to make.
As 2013 started, the Moon's home sold after just 9 days on the market, and after closing, in March of 2013, the home of Cale Moon and his family, would be a motorhome, and the location, will be greatly determined by the event schedule that he will be performing.
Cale's songs are written from his heart.
He hopes that his songs will touch your heart
& make you smile.

His albums can be purchased from his website, itunes, amazon mp3, CD Baby, as well as many other places.

POULTNEY — A Pittsford man was hospitalized following a car crash Monday morning.
State Police said Edward V. Dupont, 18, was driving south on Route 30 when he lost control of his 2001 Toyota Corolla just north of Ward Road.
According to police, Dupont's car struck a road sign, hit a ditch, was launched through the air and landed on its roof in the front yard of a residence.
Dupont was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center with what police described as a wrist injury. His condition was not immediately available.
Police said the crash was not alcohol-related but it appears speed was a major contributing factor. State Police were assisted at the scene by Castleton Police, Poultney Fire and Poultney Rescue.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD — Loose chickens created a traffic hazard on the interstate Tuesday morning.

I have recently paid for and downloaded the anihalation map pack on ps3 for COD Black ops. never had an issue with other ones but despite downloading and installing the maps several times, they dont work, they vanish. Help?
on 16-08-2011 01:43 AM
Did you download the Correct BLES Code? The same one which appears on your Game Disc and Cover.
Go back to the your Download List via Account Management or the PlayStation Store with the account that purchased it and download the correct one. Make sure you allow the Full Text to scroll across as the BLES code is at the end.
They all should be in your Download History.
Also, it didn't Vanish. When Map Packs (and other Add on DLC) and Patches are installed, they are installed to the Game Data section. That can be found under the Games tab on the XMB. You have to Scroll up to find it.

I have had the same problems, 1st download, World at War, wasnt there, this week when i downloaded and installed Escalation, only "Call of the Dead" downloaded & installed. Also, how do you download the BLESS Codes?
on 11-05-2012 01:20 PM
you don't download bles codes as such.
there's a different bles code for each regions disc version. you can find it at the bottom of the disc cases spine.
when you download dlc like map packs, you have to choose the pack with the matching bles code

USC player postgame quotes (vs. Stanford)
November 17th, 2013, 12:52 am by By RICH HAMMONDHere's what Cody Kessler, Hayes Pullard, Andre Heidari and Dion Bailey had to say after USC's victory over Stanford...
(on going for it on fourth down on the last drive...) ''Coach O, it's his call and he could tell in our eyes that we wanted to do this. We were giving him that look and he could tell our offense didn't want to come off. Coach Helton called it and adjusted to what they were doing.''
(on the strength of Stanford's defense...) ''It's tough to say. A lot of defenses bring different stuff. It's the best running defense we've faced all years. Guys were doing their assignment and making blocks but seemed like those guys didn't want to be moved. They were so big it was hard to get them off their blocks. For me, I just wanted to just take care of the ball, that's my main thing. Don't turn it over. Be smart and don't make mistakes.''

Should be awesome.(though im not a huge RTS fan.) http://www.gamespot.com/news/6250190.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;1
If they launch closed beta in the US this month, I'd say mid 2010 is more than likely...its been in beta in Korea for like a year..
When is everyone going to figure out that SC II and Diablo III are never coming? At the next blizzcon they'll say "Announcing our new Starcraft... THEMED WOW PACK!!!" It's never coming guys, it's like duke nukem forever. Blizzard found their new niche, and it's mmo's.
I'm at the point of not caring about the Starcraft franchise, for some 5 years now. It's been 12 years since the first game. In the meanwhile, all they did was to show and cancel SC: Ghost. Unless you're a south-korean, who the hell even cares? They might as well just make a new franchise. Starcraft is powerless as a brand right now.
you realy think i care that they cancel or change dates, i just made battlenet acc and done all things to get closed beta key, so im waiting for it, so all tohers things i dont care if i will get beta key
ya i'm done holding my breath for blizzard and all thier BS with sc2 release dates and such. i will be happy the day i'm playing the full version on my comp for hours on end, not the day that another "release" is suggested. AHAHAHAHA
Ok. Take some time off and play the original again and then tell me that story isn't worth a sequel. It's seriously awesome in all it's opera goodness! And release dates changes. I haven't payed a lot of attention to games the past few years, but it used to be common practice to delay games.
The story was worth a sequel 8 years ago, when people actually cared. Honestly, I don't care even a little bit about what happens to Kerrigan and Raynor. I'm definitely more interested in finding out if Shephard survives ME:3 or what Morrigan did to my son (Beatch, I'm taking that case to the court! Homeless and jobless witch vs. War hero high-mage living in the royal palace, let's see who gets the custody!) Blizzard spent the last 6 years sucking on the WoW phenomenon while neglecting everything else, I couldn't care less about them.
yep i agree they need to hurry and release this game so D3 can finally come out the original SC is still fun and I end up playing it every now and then when im bored ...
Its annoying what blizzard have been doin with all theses delays and shit, but like everyone else, I dont care, their are plenty of other great games to be played right now, too many to name!
Anyone get a beta Invite yet? Rumor mill spinning that emails are getting sent out today if it's available.
