Black Mesa rule!!:D
Natural Selection is an action-strategy game for the PC. It is a "Half-life modification", which means it is written on top of the Half-life game engine. "Mods" are a new sort of underground game development that enables small teams to create games using the technology of existing games. This means less expensive and lower risk game development, which allows experimentation and innovation. This arrangement also implies that "mods" are made as art, not for making money. When complete, Natural Selection will be released for free to all owners of Half-life, which is required to play Natural Selection. Game summary Multiplayer-only Half-life mod where one team plays marines and the other plays aliens. The humans must keep their cool and work together to assault an alien-infested spacecraft or colony. Marines vs. marines and aliens vs. aliens scenarios are also supported. "First-person strategy" with a real resource model and consequences for actions....
80,000 votes. 4,000 mods. Over the course of 2 months, gamers from across the globe came together to decide which mods rank as the epitome of what our hard working community can do. Now, gallons of blood and sweat later, we tell you what triumphed in 2006
Posted by INtense! on Jan 13th, 2007 Page 1 of 6
Every time you read one of these "Best of the Year Awards" features, you always hear the same stpry. Oh, yes, see, this year was way more exciting than the last year, because, you know, everything was so different. Yeah freakin' right. There is almost no difference between 2004, 2001, 1998, anything. It's all bloody the same, right?
Well, I'd be lying to you if I said that the Mod of the Year Awards this year wasn't exciting. When the time came for the Top 100 Mods to be announced, we literally had to sit and watch the list eb and flow, backwards and forwards, top mods slipping off the list, only to come back mere minutes later. The list was changing so dramatically that we couldn't even get a jump start on the writing until it came down to the wire!
From there, we've seen the Top 5 mods slowly shift between established classics, new faces in the community and hard-working projects just beginning to pick up steam. We've seen Half-Life, the game engine that saw the modding community explode, finally be dethroned in the listing, no longer dominating all of the categories and finally having to step aside to allow room for others. And, as I've already mentioned, we've registered 80,000 votes in all and seen our site traffic go through the roof as the impact and popularity of mods continues to rocket ever upwards.
I'd be the first person to roll my eyes at phrases like "the best turnout ever," but let's be realistic here. Mod of the Year 2006 has been awesome. And this is coming from the people who worked their butts off on it.
Prepare to play something different.
Black Mesa rule!!:D
* Cin waves to BigBird :D
holy hell woot so many mod so many awards and the radio has me laughing these guys are nuts also who brought the vodka wooot.
Some good winners. =)
Wait until you see the exclusive footage from the unreleased mods. SOME awesome work in there!
Its showing up in 5minutes
:D awesome! I don't know how those BF2 mods won though...
I'm confused. Isn't there also a 'best standalone game' category?
INtense - really?
Oh, and congratulations to Black Mesa!
Will there be a scoreboard released? as in total mods and their votes? it'd be interesting to see the numbers. Also i just want to know where my mods fell in, both were in the top 100, but seems they haven't made the final cut (till editors awards tomorrow)
Yeah a 'best standalone' catagory would be good...not too late to implement...*pleads*
Yes, and my sexy... Uh nvm.
Congratulations to the winners and honorable mentions! Thanks to the MODDB staff and writers who worked tirelessly on this!
Standalone was listed on the list of awards, they had better list a best stand alone game.
nice to see some bf mods in there well dont to the moddb staff youhave all done so well :)
bah spelling
nice to see some bf mods in there :)
well done to ALL the moddb staff you have all done so well :)
Hidden: Source looks like it'd be great fun! Wish I had HL2.
How is Red alert 3 best strategy game of the year?
Yo! Been listenin since this started, and a micrphone made my ears cry blood. The crackin noise from one of thier mices anyway :D
So far this is really awsome. This is an awsome community and has shitloads to give to future gamers and such. Moddb rules and all modder,codder,artwork artist and so on, Keep at it! You´re all doing an awsome job! XD
Now im gonna stop drink coffe and get some sleep... ._.
Standalone mods will be listed during EDITORS CHOICE tomorrow. I will consider adding the players choice standalone game here also.
But especially to Point of Existence and Black Mesa!
I <3 PoE2
Grats to all winners, excellent feature in all respects. Great job Scott & crew!
Congratulations to the winners!
I second the suggestion for a full scoreboard release. I'd very much like to see where did our mod end up in the top 100! And people who voted for our mod are interested in that too.
I expected way way more. I'm really disapointed.
Quote:I expected way way more. I'm really disapointed.
What more did you expect?
Thank you very much to the players out there, new old and loyal, that keep rooting for this mod! Dont stop, coz we wont until you have one hell of a game, but without you we would not get as excited about continuing to make this beloved game. Its an honor to place 3rd and we appreciate that award no end!
Thanks to all the other mods that provide hours of fun and unique enjoyment too! Also again to moddb, and you the voters, Thanks! =D
On behalf of all the Team Members at FirstStrike, all the guys who voted for us a huge THANKS!
Its really unexpected to get this accolade, we didnt think we would have a chance with the sheer quality of work being pumped out from all these MODD'S. Having spent nearly a year and a half on this MOD with bare miminal tools we are now starting to make real progress.
Have to mention the team im afraid most of them arent represented here (my bad), BLITZ (the REAL MOD LEADER) who has been fundamental in multitasking many elements of FS has dedicated a huge amount of time, blood, sweat and tears to this has been an inspiration to us all.

Thanks to everyone who voted for NS. We're proud to still be considered so highly.
Congratulations to everyone who participated, well done.
I'm really shocked due to the fact that none of the Doom3 mods got into this list. :S
Congratulations to all the winners because they really deserve it for their hard work and big thanks for you all who support us, we'll reward you that in some time :) .
Congratulations to all the winners!
And thanks to all the players that voted for Black Mesa, glad we're still at the top of your lists!
Hey Gents at ModDB - THANKS for running such a great site. The Project Reality team was rather shocked to be in the top 100 never mind runner up for mod of the year!
Congratulations to all mods and modders and a big thanks out to the ModDB crew from the Project Reality team.
To all the modders who picked up awards, well deserved!! :D
Mint_Sauce (Rock 24 Mod - HL2 SP Mod)
keep up the good work MODDB !!!!
because of you, the mods gain popularity and so the quality of them goes up!
Moddb rules the gaming world of course.
Congrats too all!!!
This is just wonderful! Thanks for choosing BlockStorm as the best puzzle mod of the year... although there was not too much to choose, but anyway, it's something amazing... THANKS! THANKS! THAAAANKS !!!
OMG they picked the worse mod for the winners
WOOO! empires got the genre award!
I suspected that the fan base was a little small at the moment to compete against the likes of dystopia.. but well done to all the winners!
It's nice to organize such a contest !
So good job every single dude coming here & making mods, winners and loosers: in mod making, there's nothing to loose, just big experience to get !
On a side suggestion for Mod DB, I think that it would be great to have a big table resuming how the votes were put in each mod, so that everyone can have an idea of the mod scene.
So why is it that the top 100 has no D2 mods, but the RPG award winner is a D2 mod? <confused, feeling a bit stupid>
Can anyone please tell me what mod is shown as the very first one in the video?
Huh, interesting results, but to many freakin' BF2 and Half-Life games. :P
To the Moddb.com & the modding community gaming fans,
It's a great pleasure to check the site this morning and see that our team had become the #1 MOTY - it's definitely a great honor for the team to achieve this award and we appreciate the support from everyone. It's all about having fun - from making our games for people - and the end result -- gamers enjoying what was developed.
Moddb.com is a great site as it provides updates on all games and all mods - thank you once again!

ARMSmasters - Kickstarter Round 2!!
Hey guys! I did not see a way to edit my original post from back in July so I think a new post is best in this case.
My team and I are back on Kickstarter for a 2nd Run at reaching our goals to help us finish our action animation proof of concept for The ARMSmasters Project! We appreciated the past support by Animation Nation and their community and so we've come again to keep you appraised of our efforts.
You can find the new presentation and project at:
Some great things happened this past summer and we've high hopes for where we can go with this animation as we move into this fall. Please come check us out!
Thank you for any kind words and support!
Re: ARMSmasters - Kickstarter Round 2!!
WoW, it looks very good. Is there a way to buy the movie on DVD?
Re: ARMSmasters - Kickstarter Round 2!!
Let's give this a bump...

Re: ARMSmasters - Kickstarter Round 2!!
Hey guys!
Sorry for not responding sooner. For some reason I haven't gotten email notifications related to posts being placed on this page so I did not see the question or the bumpage:
We are offering a DVD copy and digital copy of the short when it is finished. Because it is a sizzle reel/short film of around 5 mins in length, the DVD will also contain collections of artwork, storyboards and other assorted material. Our goal is to find willing production partners, distributors and financers to help us do multiple episodes for either internet and dvd distribution and a full TV series following. we're actually making headway with several interested parties out west but are still pushing kickstarter and our own efforts until something solid surfaces.
We're just over 2 weeks in with 29 days to go -and- right at the cusp of 50% funded!!! We continue to solicit your pledges and your support and the passing of the word on our efforts. We think there will be something in ARMSmasters for everyone. Thanks guys! Here are some posts of a few videos in the meantime.
Re: ARMSmasters - Kickstarter Round 2!!

Re: ARMSmasters - Kickstarter Round 2!!
Thank you Charles!
In the space of a few days we've jumped up from $4844 to $5403 and are at 67% funded! We have 14 days to go and anyway you break down the math our goals can be reached if we get everyone on board! Remember, every little bit helps. The smaller pledges are in their own way more important then the bigger ones! Please keep us in mind.
Please visit http://thearmsmasters.blogspot.com as well for production art teasers and other information!
Re: ARMSmasters - Kickstarter Round 2!!
Hello everyone! Thank you for your support and well wishes. We are 7 days to go on Kickstarter and at 73% funded.

La Fille mal gardée
A Level Dance Day
Tailor-made for Solihull 6th-form students
'The department were very clear in finding out exactly what I wanted for the students. The team ensured these were met with discipline, humour and the students felt valued and welcome' Teacher
The day, held at Birmingham Royal Ballet studios, consisted of:
The aims of the day were:
' I believe the students gained a behind the scenes understanding of life in a company as well as a working knowledge of the Company repertoire La Fille mal gardée. All fulfilled, as well as a love for ballet.' Teacher
The workshop
The workshop focused on how to develop movement motifs to represent a character, including the involvement of musical motifs. The workshop then progressed, taking small sections of the ballet to use creatively; and to develop choreographic skills whilst working in small groups.
' The students gained a physical insight and experience of the stylistic qualities of the main Fille characters.' Teacher
' Working on the trios and doing phrases to fit characters from Fille. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it because it enabled me to be creative with choreography.' Student
' The workshops were fun and beneficial towards the performance we watched, as well as our A Levels! The artist and staff created a relaxed feel and it was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire group.' Student
' I loved having a live pianist it made the workshop feel more professional and added to the atmosphere.' Student
Watching Company Class
'The amount of technique and strength needed is fantastic!
'I learnt about how tough it is for a ballet dancer to get a good career.
'How much hard work and dedication the dancers need to be successful
'I realised how much time is spent rehearsing and how difficult the technique truly is!
Matinee Performance of La Fille mal gardée
'The dancers were fantastic and the choreography had funny moments
'I have watch Fille in dance lessons, however watching it live gave me a clearer insight.
'It was very interesting to watch and I found the workshop beforehand was helpful. The performance was engaging and I enjoyed watching it.
'I enjoyed interpreting it and watching the dancers perform that we have previously seen in the class.
'I thought it was absolutely amazing and really made me laugh.
'Seeing the live performance is most important in order to tie together their practice with theory plus, many not seen a full length ballet before live' Teacher
Overall impressions of the day
'Brilliant day and I would defiantly be willing to experience it again. The experience has opened my eyes as to whether I would like to pursue a dance career.
'I thoroughly enjoyed this day and it inspired me. Thank you!
'I really enjoyed the whole day. I found it extremely interesting, insightful and enjoyable. Thank you!

Barnard College Greek Games, 1965
Barnard College is planning for the construction of a new library and classroom building on the same footprint of the current library building. In order to prepare for this construction, the Archives will be shutting down to all researchers from June 2015 through September 2015. Starting June 1, we will not be able to answer researcher requests or welcome researchers to the Archives as we ready our collections to be moved to off-site, retrievable storage for the duration of construction. We hope to reopen to research inquiries at some point in September 2015, once we have figured out protocols for retrieving materials from off-site storage.
We, the archivists, will stay in our current office, in 019 Lehman Hall, until January 2016, when we are slated to move to temporary offices in Barnard Hall, where we will remain for the duration of the construction--which is scheduled to be finished at some point in 2018. While we are in our temporary space, all requests will need to be made in advance as our materials will be stored off-site. We will post policies for retrieval and requests when they are available.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding as we move our collections and ourselves. These timelines may change, so please contact us before planning a trip to the Archives and Special Collections. We also recommend using our Digital Collections site to access scanned copies of the yearbook, the Barnard Bulletin, and a selection of photographs.

So - out of work - so while 'waiting for a call' I built a shelf to fit on top of a second toolbox I have in the garage. Just 1" angle (1/8"), some 3" plate (1/8") and a piece of perforated sheet (actually 14 gauge with .5" holes). I'm satisfied - it's level and square - now I just need to spray it - planning on flat black. One pic of the shelf and one of it 'in place' (not yet sprayed). I used a nice, borrowed Bosch circular saw to cut, a Craftsman angle grinder to cut/debur, a Dremmel to do some finer deburring and my MM211 on 110V with flux core .030 wire.

Thanks all. I completed a night, 12 session hobby course this fall. Got the bug. Bought two welders. Found a nice source for good priced steel thanks to JMK. Have some ideas about what's next - not quite sure though.
Outside of welding in the class (Mig, Stick, TIG) this is the first 'adventure' I took on. "Oh the places you go" is right...it's pretty nice to actually 'make' something......and use it.
Thx to EVERYone on this board who's so supportive.....getting "down that road" is just a little sweeter!
Joe - love the MM211 - it was flawless for me.
The class - liked it a ton ... in fact, it was so nice, I decided to take it twice. Signed up for the spring session - hey - 3hrs, once a week...GUARANTEED to be practicing...why not!Miller Thunderbolt 225 AC/DC

There is no doubt about it, vacation is a good time to catch up on sex. During the workweek, we are often so busy, and so grumpy, that if sex happens, it is usually not state of the art — and notice that "if."
Unless you are a new couple, weeks can go by (maybe months) without any intimate time together. So given the fact that by the time you get a weekend or more away with one another, sex may be only a fond memory, it is really important that you go somewhere that makes sex, love, and romance more likely to happen than not. The right environment really does make a difference, even if you're dying to get into a sweet embrace. Ever find yourself in a hotel or resort that is a mood killer? I promise not to let that happen to you!
To start, here are 10 foolproof tips:
1. Plan ahead of time so that expectations and reality have something in common. If you want a cute bed-and-breakfast, that is fine. But find out whether or not you have your own bathroom or if you are right next to another couple (too inhibiting). Look up the reviews to see if people liked the way it looked once they got there. Pictures can be deceiving.
2. To avoid rush hour, leave on Friday afternoon if you can, instead of Friday night. If you are hassled and frustrated while getting out of town, those feelings can spill over on the weekend. Who needs to start down in a hole trying to climb out?
3. Pick a place you both will love. If he hates chintz, do not make him stay in a room that looks like an English garden. If she resents golf, do not go to a place that is organized around your sport. You are supposed to be each other's obsession on this getaway.
4. Bring a bottle of champagne or port or something celebratory, to put the two of you in a great mood the next morning. Or tell each other to bring some sexier-than-usual lingerie to set the mood. Hey, do both!
5. Make a promise about cell phones, BlackBerrys, and the like. If you cannot bear to be away from them, at least make a deal only to use them one hour or so a day, and at a mutually selected time. Show that you can concentrate on each other.

Every gal should know by now that a great pair of panties can make or break an entire ensemble. Who cares if you're the proud owner of the must-have frock if an embarrassing visible panty line makes an appearance? So, if you were to raid our underwear drawer, you'd discover that Daphne Javitch's designs for Ten Undies are in regular rotation.
Since we love these skivvies so much, we knew we couldn't miss the party-slash-sale hosted by Javitch and her BFF from Band of Outsiders, Nicole Cari. The two share a similar customer — even Cari believes that if a Band of Outsiders dress flew up, you'd probably discover a pair of Ten Undies underneath. Certainly a sight for sore, sartorial eyes!
Unsurprisingly, things got pretty intimate at Javitch and Cari's event — friends and fans gathered under the underwear garland as they sipped on Pressed Juicery beverages and noshed on sugar cookies fashioned to look like adorable unmentionables. Take a look at our exclusive snaps from the soirée and don't be surprised if your next bash includes decor influenced by your skivvies!

Medford, Ore. -- People who enrolled in Oregon's troubled health insurance exchange will have to re-enroll for coverage as Cover Oregon transitions to the federal government.
Come November, about 80,000 Oregonians will have to log on to healthcare.gov to get their insurance. Officials from the Cover Oregon Transition Project say that Oregonians eventually would have had to go back and update their information, so despite switching to a federal site, some of this was going to have to happen anyway.
About 422,000 Oregonians in total enrolled in new health care this year — that ranked the state seventh out of the 15 states that launched their own websites.
The Cover Oregon website never worked as it was meant to, so the board decided in April to move to the federal government site

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run homer and Omar Infante had two hits and drove in a run as the Detroit Tigers edged the Chicago White Sox, 6-4, to avoid a three-game sweep at U.S. Cellular Field.
Rick Porcello (9-6) earned the win after grinding through a six-inning effort in which he gave up three runs on 11 hits.
"There weren't any easy outs for me today," said Porcello. "It was good to be able to battle through it and keep us in the game."
Joaquin Benoit needed 27 pitches to navigate through a rocky ninth inning, but stranded a pair of runners in scoring position to notch his 15th save for the AL Central leaders.
Gordon Beckham went 3-for-4, while Avisail Garcia and Jeff Keppinger added two hits and an RBI each for the White Sox, who went 3-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left 15 men on base.
John Danks (2-10) was pegged with the loss after giving up six runs -- four earned -- on nine hits over 7 1/3 innings. Danks lost his fifth straight decision and hasn't won since July 2 against Baltimore.
"We hate losing, there is nothing fun about losing," Danks said. "We show up to the ballpark expecting to win every game. It's all you can do. It was a good series, we had an opportunity for the sweep and we lost it."
The White Sox scored three runs in the first inning. Alejandro De Aza and Alexei Ramirez singled and Adam Dunn walked to load the bases with one out. Garcia then tapped an infield single to score De Aza. Keppinger followed with a sacrifice fly to center to plate Ramirez and Conor Gillaspie capped the scoring in the inning with a single to plate Dunn.
Detroit tied the game in the third on Cabrera's 38th homer of the year. Bryan Holaday and Austin Jackson opened the frame with back-to-back singles before Cabrera laced a hit over the wall in left.
The Tigers rallied for three more runs in the sixth to take the lead. With runners on the corners, Infante punched a single through the hole on the left side to score Victor Martinez.
After Holaday was hit by a pitch to put two on with two outs later in the inning, Jackson slapped a chopper down the third baseline. Gillaspie fielded the ball and fired a low throw to first base that Keppinger couldn't come up with, allowing Matt Tuiasosopo and Infante to score.
Ramirez's single in the eighth scored De Aza.
Jordan Danks struck out and De Aza grounded out in the bottom of the ninth when the White Sox stranded Gillaspie and Keppinger in scoring position.
Porcello has won five straight decisions and hasn't lost since June 30 ...
Benoit has given up just three runs over his last 27 outings dating back to
May 28 ... Detroit holds an 8-5 lead in season series ... Chicago went 6-4 on
its 10-game homestand ... Chicago hasn't swept the Tigers at home since Aug.
11-13, 2006 ... Ramirez extended his hitting streak to 11 games.

Although Lewis Hamilton says he is chasing Ferrari in the standings, the Merc driver insists Sebastian Vettel can also be beaten...
Although Lewis Hamilton says he is chasing Ferrari in the standings, the Merc driver insists Sebastian Vettel can also be beaten.
With seven races remaining this season, Vettel appears to be racing away with the World title as the German has won six of 12 grands prix and amassed 222 points.
That has put him 53 ahead of his nearest rival Fernando Alonso while Hamilton is a further 28 off the pace.
As such the British driver says he is targeting Alonso and Ferrari, who are three points up on Mercedes in the Constructors' Championship, as his main goals for this season. However, that doesn't mean he thinks Vettel is out of reach.
"I'm a realist," he told ESPNF1. "I don't come here thinking everything is going to be great. What will be, will be.
"Everything from here is a bonus, I never expected to be where I am this season so I really feel that whatever is ahead is a positive.
"There will be experiences that are not so great but I think we are now at a point where we really carefully make the right decisions and put ourselves in the right positions.
"Whether that means winning the Championship or not I don't know, but hopefully we can beat the Ferraris. That's the main goal at the moment. I don't think he [Sebastian Vettel] is unbeatable."
As for this weekend's Singapore GP, Hamilton is expected a better showing from Mercedes than what they produced last time out in Italy.
"I'm really hoping that the car is going to be more competitive here. Obviously we know what the package was like that we had in Hungary, it was good then, and we've made some small tweaks to it to make it even stronger here.
"Everyone else will put their packages on that they had in Hungary, which I'm sure they've fine tuned as well, but I definitely think that we should be more competitive than we were in the last race. Fingers crossed that's the case."

The third member of the Creston Neitzel family to participate in a Shrine Bowl football game was visited by officials from Iowa's 40th edition of the all-star contest Tuesday.
Rich Hein and Bob Day of the Za-Gig-Zig Shrine Temple formally welcomed Panther all-stater Luke Neitzel to the South squad, and informed him of the schedule and player expectations leading up to the July 27 game in the UNI-Dome at Cedar Falls.
"We're in the process of going around to talk to the payers and present them with their packets," Hein said.
Much of the material was familiar to Neitzel, whose brother, Nick, played in the 37th annual Iowa Shrine Bowl. Their father, Monte, played in the Nebraska Shrine Bowl in 1985.
Hein said all players and cheerleaders selected for the game are asked to raise at least $800 through advertising sponsors in the game program booklet and discounted game tickets for $10 each. (Tickets are $15 at the gate on game day.)
Neitzel, a two-time all-state defensive back and also one of the state's total yardage leaders as a quarterback, was selected for the South team as a quarterback by head coach Tom Wilson of West Des Moines Dowling Catholic, according to Creston/O-M coach Brian Morrison.
"He told me they're looking at Luke as a quarterback," Morrison said, although many times players are shifted around to various positions once training camp starts. "Luke is one of the premier athletes in 3A, and to get an opportunity to play with the best players in the state for one more game is a well-deserved opportunity."
In Morrison's three years as head coach, this is his second Shrine Bowl player. Collin Bevins, a redshirt freshman on the Iowa State football team, played defensive end on the South team in 2012.
"The South won when Nick played, and last year when Collin played," Neitzel said. "So, yeah, there's some pressure to get a win."
New site
This will be the first time in several years the game won't be played at Jack Trice Stadium on the Iowa State University campus. An NCAA ruling determined a Division I university cannot serve as an all-star game host, with players housed on campus, because of potential conflicts of interest.
"In the South, SEC territory, a lot of these all-star games were being held in December and January (recruiting periods) and they felt there were too many recruiting advantages for those host schools," Hein said.
Day said there are advantages of the University of Northern Iowa serving as a host in Cedar Falls.
"The game is at the UNI-Dome this year and we think it's a pretty neat place to play," Day said. "Every year it's pretty hot in July. This year they'll be playing in air-conditioning."
"My one high school goal was to play in the UNI-Dome," Neitzel said. "I didn't really get a chance to do it in the game I wanted to, but in a roundabout way, this is a chance to play there and I'll take it."
Day said several events are planned during game week. The Friday night banquet will be at the Sullivan Center. A parade will be held in downtown Cedar Falls on Saturday morning. Players and cheerleaders will hold a mini-clinic for children from the Shrine hospitals on Friday morning.
For Neitzel, it will be a chance to hook up on the same team with past competitors. The South roster includes Alex Reed of Council Bluffs Lewis Central, Noah Kaldenberg of Winteset and Atlantic's Sam Markham. Also on the team from this region is Central Decatur's Dalton Gilbert.
Players report on July 20 for a week of training camp.
"You get to play with different kids and make new relationships," Neitzel said. "It will be a good time. I'll get to play with three kids I've played against for as long as I can remember. It will be nice to talk to them and play on the same team."
And, despite some offers ranging from Division 1-AA, to Division II and Division III, Neitzel said he may just be a student next year as a college freshman. So, this could be the last chance to strap on the pads and compete.
"This is probably the last go-around for me in football," he said, "so it should be a good time."
Morrison is excited to see his two-way star showcase his talents for the entire state.
"Not making it deep in the playoffs, eastern Iowa really hasn't had a chance to see him play," Morrison said. "It will be good to see what he can do. I know he will represent Creston/Orient-Macksburg extremely well. I'm just real excited to see what he can do there."

As the Jewish word recoils over the murder of three Jewish teenagers in Israel, Jews the world over are shocked by news of a Palestinian youth's murder in Jerusalem. But with the shock comes deep disappointment at the response of world leaders, who condemned Jews for this murder even before the investigation was concluded.

How can we improve education in such a way that it promotes, supports, nurture and facilitates creativity?
We all know that our education systems, worldwide, are killing creativity. This is the cause of all the problems on earth because education is the supplier of human capital to all the industries. So, how can we solve this problem in such a way that maximum results are obtained?
Oct 26 2013: Sorry, disagree that education systems are killing creativity in general and that anything related to education is the source of all problems on earth.
Teaching someone how to solve a problem does not preclude them from thinking of other ways to solve a problem. It is the responsibility of the adult community to promote, support, nurture and facilitate learning in the next generation. The lessons that need to be passed along are he lessons needed for survival. We hope also to pass along lessons that enable an increased quality of life. This includes expansion of the arts, generation of new ideas, and finding new and better solutions to problems, both the old problems and the new problems.
Teaching what has been done in the past as a solution, idea, or art form does not kill creativity, it exposes students to different ideas, concepts and thoughts. Explaining why they are different and relevant gives the material relevance and enables students to put it in context.
Throwing away the school system and waiting for the next Leonardo Davinci to come along is foolish and cruel. Any student that doesn't think that they have creativity, talent and intelligence inside them, or are made to believe they are either incapable of achieving it, or do not have the potential to achieve it, will be harmed by the experience.
The school systems are what adults have found to be the right balance of educating all children with the academic tools they need to survive as adults with available resources.
How about we collectively ask all parents what THEY are doing to make sure that their children have the work ethic, citizenship skills,healthy behaviors, the respect for themselves and other people, and the feeling of worth that is imparted to children by a good family experience?
Creativity will come when children apply a natural curiosity to what they have seen and learned to solve a problem, make something new or apply their talents to an art form.
Fix the real problems first.
Oct 26 2013: Robert,
I agree in general but a bad teacher can do wonders to destroy creativity. Let me give you an example: AP chemistry class, midterm test, student gets the right answer but is docked 10 points for using the wrong technique. The technique was correct and is taught in college but it is not the technique the teacher taught.
The student developed the technique following his own logic.
Unfortunately, there are teachers like this.
Oct 26 2013: Wayne,
Absolutely agree. Teaching, like most other professions,has good and bad practitioners. Sadly, like parenting, these incidents of alleged or actual unfairness, alleged or actual favoritism, and actual or alleged lack of professionalism occur at a time when we are vulnerable as children. Well meaning parents want to be pro-active and look out for their child's interests (and should!), but rarely get an undistorted perspective about events, they hear it from a child. Usually in the end, one side is arguing from a child's viewpoint, the other from an adult or administrative viewpoint, and the decision usually goes with the latter.
The point I was trying to make is that teachers and school systems are not there to teach creativity. They are there to teach the knowledge and skill needed to survive as an adult. Promoting creativity is something good teachers will do to get the most out of their students and help the child grow into a creative adult. The best ones somehow do this such that all the kids have fun and WANT to learn and create, all the kids feel like the environment is fair and safe, and that one group of kids learns the material and at a rate that is in general comparable to other groups of kids. It is quite an emotional balancing act, particularly when you throw in the group of emotionally charged, high functioning adults that tend to act on a child's perspective known as parents.
I think I would make it as a teacher until the first parent/teacher conference, then I would probably get fired, maybe arrested.Oct 26 2013: I agree that creativity can not be taught but I think the school systems needs to make sure they do not crush it. I also feel teachers need the support of the administration against over zealous parents.

Oct 25 2013: This subject is discussed continuously in TED Conversations. If you are looking for ideas people have offered in the past, in addition to direct replies you may get here from people who are not already "talked out" on this so popular topic, look to the left at the SEARCH CONVERSATIONS area. If you search for "improve education" or any combination of "schools" and "creativity," you will get certainly thousands of replies to your question. You may get tens of thousands.

Happy reading!
Fritzie -
Oct 26 2013: One approach schools can and do use is to discourage "we all know that" thinking and language for situations more complex than that, to encourage students to grapple with complexity and to think about different points of view, angles, and solutions.
- +1
In the language of education, one component of creativity is divergent thinking and another convergent thinking. Divergent thinking means considering other ways of looking at, of explaining, or of doing the same thing.
As an example, what is a pencil for? You may say "we all know" it is for writing, but, in fact, by its shape it could be used for a variety of other purposes. How many ways can you use a brick? Think of as many as you can and then implement for yourself the most unusual on your list.
Such practice is useful in schools but also at home and right on through adulthood.
Another useful disposition to cultivate at school, at home, and on through adulthood is not simply believing everything you are told, regardless of how charismatic the person telling you may be.Oct 29 2013: nearly all of the problems in education lie in the archaic assessment systems in use.
the rest stem from lack of money and over-crowded classrooms.
reduce the adherence to standardised testing and creativity will be more easily catered for.Oct 27 2013: I like to think that we live in a time when many of us are looking for new ways of doing what we do, if only to find a suitable application for our education. The future that we are preparing for might seem like a long way off but even now we are starting to feel the change in how things are done. Creativity-based learning might be the next logical step for education.
When we apply creativity to education, we remove boundaries. We no longer just have to cure people or build structures, we become motivated to study specific things based on a vision of where and how we will be applying them in the future. Some of us will want to learn how to design for outer space, some will want to establish medicine for zero gravity, and some will think of how the earth will provide for our survival in the next hundred years – it is no longer useful to just dream of skyscrapers and crisp white uniforms. Humanity has to start becoming creative. Otherwise, we might end up with the right skills for the wrong time.
In order to achieve this, I imagine that there might be a need to change the very structure of education itself. Education has to be more interactive than instructional, teachers will have to learn how to identify individual interests and skills and be able to direct it with the right discussions. There has to be more conversations in the classroom, students have to be taught on the basis that they are meant to discover, explore, and create rather than sit at a table waiting for an assignment. This is not meant to lead to a collapse of the traditional way of doing things. In fact, if done the right way, having creative people working together could be a more efficient way of achieving things. There are many reasons how this cannot possibly work and our twentieth-century minds will always be afraid of things that cannot be immediately measured, but we live in a different time, and those who can imagine where we are headed will be the ones who lead the way
Oct 27 2013: Why would you think this cannot work? This is a very common way of teaching in this century. You could look up Constructivism and inquiry-based learning, as examples. Teaching through discourse is entirely common now in k12!
Oct 27 2013: Hello Fritzie, thank you for your reply. I actually meant it to be ironic when I said that such a thing would be impossible to implement, I was actually referring to the amount of doubt and criticism that would surface in the face of its introduction. Not least of the criticism would be the cost. As you probably know, schools cannot just change their methods overnight, and not without expense. Teachers themselves will have an opinion about it and the reasons can go on and on, but I am not saying that it cannot be done.
In spite of what we think, schools continue to produce millions of students who are educated using the same method that was applied to produce armies of assembly-line thinkers. The way it works is that students eventually believe that there are only certain things that they have to learn in order to fit into a very particular role at work, and that represents the entire goal and purpose of education. Students who want to get ahead would naturally aim to acquire letters that go after their names. What they were never told to prepare for, however, are the creatively gifted individuals who can snatch away opportunities without the need for the usual academic requirements.
We've seen this happen many times, they are the code writers, the entrepreneurs, the artists, inventors, and the many other kinds of creative thinkers who seem to be a step ahead no matter how many degrees and doctorates we acquire – some of them haven't even attended university. And yet, they succeed while the rest of us labor; and the very simple reason for their success is that their natural creativity is better adapted to the times that we live in. People like them used to be a novelty, but in a world based on constant innovation they are the norm. This is the model for the kind of education that I imagine, dynamic creative thinking leading the way for traditional knowledge.
Oct 27 2013: I think new teachers, at least in the US, are typically taught to teach this way, through discussion and inquiry, and the big districts I know encourage it and provide professional development in such teaching methods.. It sometimes takes parents a bit longer to come around, as they were typically taught in a more traditional lecture format when young.
As I wrote, this sort of open, interactive pedagogy is pretty common now. It has not been novel for a very long time.Oct 27 2013: Hello again Fritizie, I will have to agree with you that it must be common in the States. I was actually describing the situation here in the Philippines, where I live. The school system here is still in the process of evolving into the K12 system and it's not very clear yet how well it can be implemented.
My hope is that the Philippines and other countries will take the requirements of the 21st century as their cue to look into the possibilities of innovative teaching methods. It's not that hard actually, it's just that old habits die hard sometimes and change is often slow to take root. It is a necessity though, as I mentioned in my last post. Otherwise, we run the risk of having opportunities snatched away by those who've already realized the importance of creative thinking.
Oct 27 2013: I have read that some countries in Asia still think of lower ed as a time to convey a large body of facts. Constructivist and inquiry-based methods are not at their strength in conveying bodies of fact. They are suited to objectives related to reasoning, understanding, and application of tools and ideas.
This is my observation from many years of teaching this way.
I cannot tell if you are a teacher. In any case, a book I recommend that lays out the rationale and strategies for implementing a pedagogy of this kind is Bransford's How Children Learn. This work is strictly research-based.Oct 28 2013: Hi Fritzie, I'm so sorry for the late reply, I couldn't keep up with the time difference. You are absolutely right about Lower-Ed being a time when students here encounter a very large volume of facts and figures that they end up just memorizing, the bad thing is that not many students (in the public school system of the Philippines) develop a real appreciation for the subjects they are taught - they just memorize and then fill in the right answer for a quiz or a test to get a good grade and move along to the next hurdle. I think there is a time for memorizing things but it's also good to have a session where students can then process what they've learned and develop a narrative for why they study it - as it must be in your experience.
I taught in a gifted school for some time but it was my parents who were professional teachers, they were involved in an effort in the 1990s to develop a proposal (for the Philippines) for creativity-based professional teaching. Their proposal didn't get very far because they weren't able to get government support for it. The gifted program I was involved in has since disappeared as well, due mainly to a lack of funding. I now work in the creative and design industry instead. Even in my present line of work, I still encounter the effects of "old" teaching practices on new graduates. Many of them, I could say, for lack of a better way to describe their situation, have turned out to be "very well-educated non-creatives" – and not for a lack of talent. A lot of them have just been conditioned to work in a particular way where it's as though they're afraid to think for themselves.
Continued in the next post...Oct 28 2013: Continued from the post above...
Even after a period of time that new graduates have been on the job the effect is still there, you could see from the way they make presentations or manage meetings that they are just trying to fulfil the job description –to make the grade. They make perfect office workers, but for a creative-based job, it's frustrating for the people who have to work with them. Basically, the new graduates I've worked with have never left school. They're still sitting quietly in class and are just waiting to be given the facts of an assignment. Except now, they expect their client or their boss to act the part of the teacher. This kind of mind-set is good for turn-over but bad for business development efforts later on. The lack of innovative thinking prevents some people from being agile enough to adapt to ever-shifting creative and technological requirements of their work. I think a shift to the method of teaching that you described will improve many of these things.
Fritzie -
Oct 28 2013: Yes, the style of teaching and of parenting, the focus of evaluation both at home and in school, the person's inclination to take risks, and a person's intrinsic motivation to push the boundaries in the area in which he works all come in to play.Oct 25 2013: the answer is simple and impossible - reduce class sizes to a one-to-one ratio.
- +1
creativity cannot be taught. it can only be fostered with support and time - both of these are logistically difficult in current schools systems.
also, the focus needs to come off assessment systems and onto individual students..many people balk at this idea and cannot fathom education without traditional, standardised testing..
Oct 26 2013: Teaching children how to be creative is very important. We teach people carpentry. Maybe you were referring to mental processes? Teaching children how to think is very important as well. We do that all the time as well when we teach math and logic and philosophy. There are plenty of ways to teach people how to use their thought process to be more creative. Why would you say that creativity can't be taught? I am not getting something here.
Oct 29 2013: I would love to see the text book on how to be creative.
It cannot be taught because it is not like teaching a set of skills as you would with carpentry, even though creativity has obviously been involved in the development of carpentry techniques over the years.
It cannot be taught because it is extremely subjective - it would be the antithesis of creativity itself to assess the level of someone's creativity and make no mistake, in education, this must happen. Not because it is the only (or even a good) way to operate education systems but because of the financial and political elements involved.
What can be done is discussing the value of coming up with new ideas but how would you teach someone to have a new idea other than encourage one?
Allowing time and opportunities to be creative is vital and this should be catered for in schools.
Also, valuing the efforts made by students is important as well as teaching them how to self-evaluate and articulate the process they went through (which would maybe give other students ideas about how to do something similar).
There is also the danger of confusing the process of being creative and the outcome. Striving to create is laudable but the end result often is not (other than it's value as being part of developing the creative process itself).
Oct 29 2013: The only prerequisite is curiosity. Given that, yes I can teach people to be more creative, everyone is inherently creative; it comes with the brain architecture. People could not survive in our society without being creative. Maybe we are using the word differently? This statement would not even be controversial in the neurological or psychiatric field, I am pretty sure.
Yes, I do in fact have techniques that I use to teach people to increase their creative abilities. This is not theory I am discussing. I already do this. Thank you for the book idea. I will get started on it right away. Actually I will incorporate it into the one I am working on now. I feel a little silly for not having thought of it before.
Yes, I am talking about the creative process which is directly linked to the 'product' as you say. The better the process, the better the product. Just remember, the fact that you cannot conceive of how to teach creativity or that your reality model does not permit it does NOT mean that it cannot be done. It just means that you don't know how. Other people with a different way of looking at things may have solved the problem, such as in this case. Thanks for the reply.Oct 30 2013: my thought is that this is merely one of the current trends in education. Obi Wan Ken Robinson does a nice talk but offers very little in the way of practical application to improve 'the system'.
i agree with you that the potential for creativity is innate in all of us and yet it is an ephemeral concept rather than a set of skills. by setting parameters to be taught or adhered to, you would be restricting the very thing that, at it's heart, requires no restrictions.
that's the main reason i said that it cannot be taught, only catered for.
i cannot agree that the creative process automatically leads to quality content. in fact, it rarely does, so banging on about creativity sounds great and, like so many things in this modern information/propaganda age, looks good on paper but that's about it.
the problems within most educational institutes will not be solved by any current models. the time, money and expertise restrictions prohibit any robust improvements in fostering creativity.
better to encourage a change in attitude in all those people that prefer to see black and white test scores over subjective or individual success criteria because current assessment practices are the greatest limiting factor in education systems and are holding back all kinds of progress.
a student-centered curriculum is far more important than teaching creativity - it puts the reins in the student's hands and this, more than anything else, encourages students to take control of their learning which in turn leads to confidence in their ideas and approach to education.
Oct 30 2013: OK. One of the first things is to recognize that just because we don't understand something does not mean it is not correct. It is important to question the person that says something that we find implausible. That is the only way to expand horizons. Of course if one believes that the already understand the universe under discussion, well then not only can I not teach them how to be creative but no one can teach them anything. You may fit into that category, I don't know but you certainly did not pose any questions. So, maybe you are correct with respect to yourself. I did not mean to say that everyone can be taught, some do not want to learn. That is why I mentioned the prerequiste of curiosity in my first sentence. At any rate, many creative people have discussed the topic. If you were interested it is not difficult to find. I was willing to discuss it but you don't seem interested. Good luck. There is plenty on the internet.Oct 30 2013: You are correct, of course, Michael, that teaching creativity, or fostering creativity, or removing obstacles to creativity has over the last several decades become quite an industry! There are thousand if not hundreds of thousands of systems in circulation, hundreds of thousands of blogs, books, consultants, training programs...
I think you and Scott may, indeed, have different ideas in mind. I think you may be talking about strategies for encouraging divergent thinking or familiarizing students with an array of design tools, while Scott may be thinking you are saying you have a system for making every child a Leonardo, a Picasso, or a Shakespeare.
I think he is thinking about what some people in the discipline call Big C Creativity and you are talking about something much more universally accessible.
Oct 31 2013: I have misunderstood the point of the thread, my apologies for the 'interference'. I had no idea that serious people thought that they could 'create' another Newton or Russell or VanGogh. I personally see value in asking other creative people what it is that they do and comparing notes about how creativity works within our own (us) minds and perhaps discuss how to apply our own personal techniques or at least explain our techniques so that they might be useful to others. That was my interest at any rate; This is TED after all. Sorry for the intrusion.Oct 31 2013: I think the question in the thread is wide open! If you look back at what Oduetse asks, the inquiry is about supporting and facilitating creativity. I hear you and Scott both saying that that is both possible and desirable.
In this, as you write, there is and has long been much sharing of ideas.
I think Oduetse and others would be very interested in your specific ideas or approach, as in anyone else's who chooses to respond in the thread..
I believe Scott is a professional musician and brings that perspective to TED.

Diagnostic Radiology Services
The first step in addressing a medical problem—whether it's a blocked artery, a tumor, or broken bone—is to find its precise location within the body, accurately measure it, and provide a "roadmap" that guides physicians during treatment. The staff of Bridgeport Hospital's Radiology department, including board-certified physician-radiologists and radiology technologists, provides a full range of diagnostic and imaging services for this purpose. Services are performed for adult and pediatric patients admitted to various units of the hospital and on an outpatient basis at multiple locations throughout Fairfield County.

Radiology in Treating Disease
The role of radiologists has evolved as technology has become more sophisticated. "Interventional" radiologists have the advanced training to "intervene," or participate, in medical procedures. Bridgeport Hospital has been among the first hospitals in Connecticut to introduce many interventional radiology procedures. These procedures are an alternative to radical surgery for many patients.

I need to hear why Cedar is a terrorist. You just cant make claims like that and then not support them with reasons.

I'm wondering the same thing myself. I guess moving a thread is a terrorist action now.
I think I might email him. Better yet, Cedar can email him and invite him to the party.
hahhahaha this is classic. Not sure where the **** this came from... but it's just down right hilarious.
I guess I'm damned for eternity. I guess if you don't support banning Islam in the US and actually think about the Constitution, it makes you a Muslim-loving scumbag. WV, I guess you're in the same boat too.

Hollowing the light bulb:
There are several instructables that had covered this already, although I first saw it in this site: DIY Hollow Out A Light Bulb, a very good step by step instructions in how to gutted out the bulb, (and also how to used for tester vessels for boil water and some other uses).
Here is another instructable about "How to hollow out a lightbulb and make a stand for it, pretty neat too.
and here a bunch of instructables more about light bulb uses an related stuff. Enjoy
This is a verry cool project. For easter, I have made one for my mother as a present. Let's see, wat she's going to say, when she will unpack the present. :)
Thanks a lot :)
Thanks for the idea!!!
Hugs from Brazil.
lol anyway good ideas!
A Instructable showing how to grow these glowing algae can be found here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Grow-Your-Own-Bioluminescent-Algae/
There are a few different kinds, some that give off glowing flashes when disturbed (can react to sound). Some species give off a constant glow.
I would be very interested in hearing about anybody that has maybe tried this? if nobody has i will probably combine these two projects since i wanted to do them both anyways.
Maybe I'll post an ible with instructions and my result.
Now as a side note, this seems like a great little project and I'm a big fan of recycling during crafts. Now I just need to wait for one of my bulbs to go. Unfortunately I'm systematically replacing all the bulbs in my house with the energysaving kind. I've yet to find a craft that reuses them when they go. :-P
It's just that around here, if I simply lay those lightbulbs on aluminium rings from hard drive they are very prone to be hit and thus very prone to be destroyed. OK, my suggestion doesn't totally guarantee that it won't be destroyed accidentally (perhaps I should switch to a safer environment ...).
Many of our coins are ferromagnetic, in fact my portable change holder is just a chunk of neodynium. The only thing that doesn't stick is 5 cents.
So yea, be canadian for it to work :D
Or go get some canadian quarter!
(You get the idea.)
Thank you!
Just rub the letters with an expo white board marker until the letters dissappear, then simply rub the marker off with your fingers. I found this out by accident when I was in 4th grade and have been using expo markers to remove unwanted marks from all sorts of things.
