Are we as a species like a viral infection that will eventually destroy its host...?
Modern man can trace its origins back some 200,000 years, at least anatomically, and 50,000 years back in behavioral modernity. Yet in just 211 years, from 1800 to 2011, human population grew from 1 billion to 7 billion souls. In the year 2011 alone, it's estimate that 135 million human beings were born, 57 million died, resulting in a net population increase of 78 million people in just one year! That's an average increase of nearly 214 thousand people daily, or ~8,900 per hour.
Assuming the rate of population growth stays constant, at this pace global population will double to more than 14 billion people in just the next 10 years. And then what? Do we double once again to 30 billion+ by the year 2033?
And will population growth actually continue to accelerate, with less attrition from continued gains in life expectancy through better health care and medical science?
Clearly, all these folks are going to need food, shelter, and things to do. More cars, streets, shopping and entertainment centers, business centers, government centers, learning centers, clothing, homes and the list goes on and on!
We as a species have been incredibly successful; much of which has come at the expense and impact upon other species, and our environment.
The Earth is a finite space with finite resources. How does this all play out? Do we eventually deplete and destroy our Host -- Mother Earth? What are the implications and what are the solutions...?
Mar 5 2013: I wouldn't use a virus analogy because try as we might, I don't think we can actually kill our host (the earth).
I would compare us to a population surge in something like mice.
There was a documentary on TV once on a mouse population explosion in Australia. This occurs when there are particularly good rains and a bumper crop of grain.
In our case, we have had several hundred years of good weather, we expanded our land under cultivation hugely, we have had the benefit of cheap energy to make fertilizers and technology advancement to mechanize our farms. To top it off, we have been able to create a fantastically complicated food distribution network in our transportation technology.
As a result, our population has exploded.
Now, such a large population makes us vulnerable to systemic changes.
For example, if the bee population crashes, our crops don't get fertilized.
If energy becomes to expensive to farmers then they can't buy fertilizer and can't run their mechanized farm equipment.
Likewise our transportation network begins to become too expensive to run and food distribution starts to become a problem.
Finally, we are susceptible to changes in water availability and the climate in general. If water is available but down 1200 feet with no easy way to get at it, you really don't have water. Changes in the climate can wreck havoc on crops as was seen last year in the US midwest.
Now, we may not be smart but we are clever so we will find a way to "kick the can down the road" for a few years, but I am must assume that our population will fall back to "normal" levels one of these years and probably because of starvation.

Mar 5 2013: I think there is considerable reason to hope that humanity will develop the wisdom to avoid our own destruction.

I think the word "sustainable" provides a great deal of hope. It makes it clear that if we continue practices that are not sustainable, those practices will not continue for long, one way or another, regardless of anyone's values or opinions, or vested interest. It encourages forward thinking and planning. It encourages the development of wisdom. That word may save us. Be sure to teach it to your children and grandchildren.Mar 5 2013: Society has never truly changed when it has been slightly altered. We need forward thinking to break the mold... and not forward thinking as an end goal but as a ever evolving process. Teaching children to not see what is in front of them but rather what COULD be in front of them.
The way that our world is operating craves attention.
All of the problems we face as a planet are rooted in the need for resources and the control of said resources through the monetary system. This results in war, poverty, discrimination, possessive behavior, insatiable greed, etc.
There is a project that incorporates technology, societal change, environmental awareness, and a global mindset.
The Venus Project is the big picture view of the world's discrepancies placing emphasis on technological ways to alter the seemingly inevitable fate of our species.
The open minded of our world have often been drawn to mindsets that promote the idea of interconnectedness within humanity as a whole and furthermore the connectivity between humanity and nature. This project affected my view of the future as a result of those aspects of thinking being upheld throughout the proposed society. Our world needs to begin working together to solve our problems instead of using bombs and threats to keep the top on top and the bottom on the bottom. The same concepts are used in our flawed economy.
Eventually, the fighting OF resources (working against mother nature) and the fighting FOR resources (working against each other as humans) will fail or prevail. We will rise up against a previous way of thinking with new ideas and a broad/open mind to the technological possibilities for the future or we will be the reason behind our own extinction.
My comment is a combination of my thoughts on the world and the thoughts of Jacque Fresco. To hear his Ted Talk click: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzirIG55fkE
Mar 6 2013: I have my own 'crazy' idea about this. You may be interested to check this.
http://pabitraspeaks.com/my-crazy-idea/Mar 5 2013: I don't think you're wrong about the comparison to a viral infection, however we won't be destroying our host. The host will destroy us, even if we do everything we can to avoid it. Volcanoes will erupt, asteroids will hit the planet, tsunamis, earthquakes...the only question is if we will destroy ourselves before the planet does.
Gail .
Mar 5 2013: I see only a few solutions. 1) governments will invent the appearance of a necessary war that will lower our numbers. 2) An illness (whether intentionally created or not) will decimate our numbers. 3) Global warming will make feeding the already excessive people impossible, as it is starting to do already.

As to the implications, I think that they are so clear that it is unnecessary to list them.Mar 14 2013: The Earth may be limited in resources, but we are not bound to the Earth. As we get better at space travel, we will be mining and harvesting everything from gold to water from asteriods and comets.
Mar 14 2013: Who is this 'we'? The particular piece of rock named earth is about 4.5 billion years old. The proteins came to exist 3.8 billion years ago, Humans came to exist 250 thousand years ago, we have a history of written records of human's exploits from around 3000 years ago. If Juan Enriquez is to be believed, humans are already speciating into Homo Evolutis. Before inter planetary travel in economic sense takes place, it will be which 'we' exactly?
Mar 14 2013: Wow. Just, wow.
Slow your roll, there. We are not a different species than Homo-sapien-sapien. Our DNA has not changed enough to prevent interbreeding (definition of a species). Not only that, but we are not 100,000 years away from mining asteriods. Try 100 years.
Your turn.
Mar 14 2013: Ok. Let's take it easy.
Heard about artificial speciation? Animal Husbandry? Reproductive isolation as in Dodd's experiment? These are equally applicable on Humans. You are presupposing the natural selection to be only active force in biological evolution. What about machine implants? A human being living with a pacemaker is a cyborg partially.
You missed the exponential contraction of evolutionary changes I mentioned. It does not necessarily have to be biological even.
In 50 years we can have human clones with genetically modified immunity, hugely enhanced sensory capabilities, living 150 years or longer on replaced vital organs 3d printed at will.
Your definition of species may be rewritten by then.
Will they be 'us'?
Your turn.
P.S. I am not even referring 'non-scientific' complications like believing people with a particular skin color as sub-human till some 50 years ago, or Jews as 'impure' aberrations till some 70 years ago. I shall place too little trust on this present 'we'.Mar 14 2013: I never said natural selection to be the only factor. There are several. Including mutation, founder's effect, and artificial selection. Not to mention we are consciously directing our evolution as well as the evolution of other species.
Apparently you think that machine parts play a part in speciation. They do not. Unless you want to redefine the word "speciation".
Technology could accelerate biological evolution using genetic engineering, but unless these engineered humans are incapable of interbreeding, they will not be a new species.
Mar 15 2013: Come on Christopher, we know that we are discussing the 'we' here. It may not be wise to represent the species. A huge number of that species live in conditions you and I possibly don't appreciate. It's a humanity question I raised. Which 'we' are going to be benefited by extraterrestrial resources when half the humanity have no access to terrestrial resources?
I find it the space missions funny when we have not enough schools on earth.Mar 16 2013: Fascinating points of view!Mar 13 2013: It is not our species that are the virus it our dominant culture. It is when we started living in state societies and locking up the food so that you had to work to eat (namely civilization) did this culture begin. Now most of the earth is cultivated and there is no way of going back to our ancestoral natural state.
Cultural changes will have to happen before humans ever become sustainable. Technology will never fix this problem.Mar 9 2013: I think there is definitely a misguided feeling that man is a kind of Virus... But in biological terms, man is more like a invasive species.
The problem is that public opinion and certain political spectrum's tends toward the idea that invasive species are always bad, and that man is Bad. In reality that's not always true at all.
The question is often thus answered before it is even asked: Man has to go, or be culled.
This is a foolish conclusion to jump to, and is leading our thinking down a very dark and destructive path of reasoning. To some progressives, the Chinese and their one child policy might sound very pragmatic and wise, but in reality it causes horrible living conditions and ruins a lot of lives. But even if we discount the loss of human life and happiness... there are other costs... Such as the cost of enforcement, of abortion, of medical care for abortions that go wrong etc etc.
I believe that humans have forgotten that they are part of nature.
We have to remember that industrialized nations have a much slower rate of reproduction and in some places has reached a point where the rate of birth has finally crossed the threshold where population will now decline.
However, the 3rd world is exploding in new people every day. Their lack of success means they need more people cover the loss of so many, like fish having hundreds of offspring and only 1 or 2 living to adult hood.
But instead of improving their conditions, we often do more to destroy them and keep them in the 3rd world.
We must also remember that even though we might be destroying one habitat, we might be creating others... Cities for example are now their own stable ecosystems, no less valid than a deep forest.
I subjectively feel that it is well within mankind's power to devise a way achieve balance with nature, without resorting to genocidal/eugenicist ideas of population culling and forced procreation limits that will only lead to suffering...
There is a better way..
Mar 11 2013: I hope you are right...Mar 7 2013: What seems to be a common thought process here is that we are looking at this as a human problem rather than an industrial affluent human problem. There are plenty of people who do not live a consumptive lifestyle. There are plenty of people who know how to maintain their land base without depleting it. There are plenty of people who do not follow the growth economy model. There are plenty of people who completely understand the notion of food, water, shelter and a decent human and non human community. The problem is these people are not part of the dominant culture that is devouring the living world. Industrial humans have turned their needs into wants and its killing us all. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=u-o-w_dcoCQ&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Du-o-w_dcoCQ
Mar 8 2013: So it boils down to, "plenty" might be enough?
Mar 9 2013: Enough for what?
Mar 10 2013: Enough to keep the human species from going extinct.

With our fertility cults - don't count on it. If we act like rodents, the population will decline dramatically, and life will get better. Of course, modern warfare could make this more dramatic. Also, the easy oil, water, rich farmland, etc. will be gone so there will be some real problems.

Mar 6 2013: Why?
pat gilbert
Mar 6 2013: The purpose of man above all else is to survive,or as stated in a dumb movie, life will find a wayMar 5 2013: Your viral analogy I think is very appropriate, except that in our case it is the virus itself that has developed a highly efficient immune system and speed of adaptatation, rather than that of the host that feeds it, and is actually the one suffering.
- +1
Personally, I think a humanitarian disaster will be the only thing that will jolt us out of this destructive, collective stupidity - and those that survive will hopefully realise that respect and reverence for the planet that gives us life is not just some nebulous hippy philosophy, but the only mainstream belief that is likely to prolong life on earth.Mar 5 2013: How truly is that chimpanzees have a 94 % of humanMar 5 2013: There is only one species more populous than humans on earth. Bacteria. Compare the resource dependence of humans and bacteria and it's a fair guess.
Yes technology can feed 1 trillion. Question is what it feeds and to whom.
Science creates a reasonable utopia.Mar 5 2013: "Assuming the rate of population growth stays constant,"
assuming we have magic powers, we can survive everything. assumptions does no good unless backed up by data. and data shows that population will level out at 9 bn. http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_on_global_population_growth.html
with technology advancing, the earth easily can feed 100 bn in a foreseeable future. or even a trillion. we don't really see any reasonable upper limit.
Gail .
Mar 6 2013: Nearly 1 billion people are malnourished, and a child dies of hunger every 11 seconds. These people are hungry NOW (and that is a fact). Most of the progress in reducing this was achieved before 2007/08. Since then, global progress in reducing hunger has slowed (according to recently published UN report)
- +1
Global warming is real and it is intensifying (regardless of cause). More and more land is being turned into desert that can't produce food. That is happening NOW. Combine global warming with population growth NOW and the trend must shift back.
The dwarf wheat that was developed to produce more yield to feed more people is addictive. Malnutrition is moving into developed countries. We must find another way NOW if all who are alive will survive.
When I was born, the world's population was only 2.5 billion (and I'm not that old). Now its 3 times that. The changes that are necessary to accommodate the human infestation produce horrible consequences. Do you really want to live in an overcrowded nest? All studies looking at unrestricted population grown in a finite area (which earth is) show that overcrowded societies are horribly violent places.
Mar 6 2013: and your point being?Mar 14 2013: Exponential growth is unsustainable. First of all, despite of huge Earth population, there is plenty of room to grow. There are vast unpopulated areas like Siberia, for instance. Before we go into space, there is ocean. It will be quite some time before we really exhaust the resources of this planet as there are plenty of resources we have no idea about.
All exponential processes in nature are, eventually, curbed. Not necessarily will humans extinct. I would consider diseases and wars as "natural" factors to address the problem. They play huge role in biological and social evolution, and this role is not all negative.
Intentional culling of our own species does not make sense. We must do all we can to survive, "be fruitful and multiply", and the natural and social environment will do its part. A crucial survival skill that we need to learn is to tolerate each other better. That's what we should be concerned with, I believe. We don't need all the crap we consume to survive as species. So, "love your neighbor" and "do not covet", and we will do fine for 100,000 years more.
Another rule I try to live by is " do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."Mar 12 2013: We are alive, so in that way we are not like a virus. All organisms must intake material to live. The more prolific a species, the more material they collectively require. I argue that the number of humans that will ever live cannot possibly deplete the resources of our galaxy. Our planet, obviously another story. By the time our planetary resources require "outsourcing" our natural resources, we will have the ability to harvest said materials from asteroids, comets, moons, etc.Mar 10 2013: Probably not. Species go extinct. The tragedy in this case is a particular culture within our own species is not only pushing the entire human race towards extinction but a large number of other species with it. Plenty of people are not part of this destructive process. Unfortunately plenty more people are and that is the dilemma the species of planet earth faces. For me and my tribe this isn't about saving the planet or species, its about trying to play our role and leaving our myth of "purpose" behind.
Mar 11 2013: I agree with your statement,Mar 8 2013: Enough for what?Mar 8 2013: Although i dont currently have the evidence,
We, and our ability to procreate will be culled by several methods during the next 10-30 years, resulting in a 'sustainable' population for the earth to support, this began some time ago, and it has many supporters.
If we were to reproduce at will, then i think yes the resources of the planet required to sustain life would be depleted to an extent that, the populations with the means to, would destroy all others, thus ensuring their own survival, either way its being planned as we type, and either way its not such a pretty picture.
I think soon we will hear and read the terms "Doesn't have the right to procreate/reproduce", and "Is being charged with unlawful procreation" .
all this is good for the planet yeah?, but not so good for those who get culled., so whats more important?Mar 7 2013: I read your article and agree that the primary initiative of our programming is to guard and protect our DNA and propagate our species through procreation. As a complex living organism, the human race is thus far unrivaled in its success at this task.
The basic premise of my question for debate, is are we as a species able to look at the bigger picture? Do we understand our interdependence on the earth, its natural resources, and other species with which we share the planet? And will we act accordingly and appropriately to ensure that our desire and success in propagating our species doesn't destroy the biosphere that supports us...?
Mar 11 2013: Our awareness of how much we rely on the resources given to us from the world is there. We understand this interdependence, but sometimes, it doesn't affect our actions. The culture we've grown in is demanding. We demand results now, products now, and those desires trump the importance of protecting our planet. I fear that no matter how much we search for a solution to gain sustainability, human self-interest will overshadow it until we are about to crash.Mar 6 2013: There is a divide in expert opinion as to the global rate of growth in human population going forward. But what is clear is that planet Earth has finite numbers of resources. And there is further divide among experts as to just how many people the Earth's resources could sustain. Is it 9-10 billion or a trillion?
There seems to be some consensus that the real number is around 9 or 10 billion people (http://www.lifeslittlemysteries.com/1824-people-planet-earth-support.html); and that reaching the max limit would come at considerable expense to competing species on our planet. Perhaps as many as 75% would parish in the next 2,000 to as little as 300 years - a blink of the eye in geologic terms. An event that would qualify as a sudden mass extinction. Is this simply the price of human success?
Although no one's called me yet on the math in my opening statements, at the current global population growth rate of 1.1% (http://www.geohive.com/earth/population_now.aspx), our numbers would double in about 90 years (as opposed to 10 years as originally suggested). But still that represents a sharply rising increase in human numbers. Especially considering it took around 150 thousand years to reach 1 billion, and from there about 200 years to reach 7 billion, and then from here less than 100 years at present rates to reach 14 billion.
There is no doubt we face natural catastrophes such as an asteroid strike that could have dire consequences for human life on earth, as has been the fate of other species in the past. But I wonder if the depletion of our natural resources by the voracious consumption of an ever growing human population represents a far more salient and near term threat to the health and well being of our planet.
And if we are on a collision course with disaster, is the human race intelligent enough to do anything about it? Perhaps. If the object of life is survival, maybe we as a species will act with self-determination to achieve the objective.

Things To Know About DIY Landscaping
Accomplishing their own landscaping is something many people may feel is the right choice. You are going to save on the cost of hiring a expert by doing it yourself, and receive to spend some time outdoors. Working on landscaping is a good method to spend an afternoon, with all the added bonus of some exercise thrown in. As a way to get the job completed right, you need a range of tools that can vary from high-tech to basic, like any additional do-it-yourself landscaper.
You need to have the proper equipment when you do your own landscaping. You must get a advantageous landscaping software program to help you with preparing the garden and lawn layout. Master Landscape & Home Design, by Punch, can be a superior program for this job. Though it was purchased back in 2003, it really is implemented to superior impact to the day. See also Ofsted lesson observation criteria. The 3 dimensional Photoview technology lets you utilize digital images you have of the property and garden, and on the computer monitor you can preview anything you want to do before implementing it.
When using the PlantFinder operation, you may be able to identify plants that suit the soil and climate of where you live. Furthermore, it involves a calculator to help you estimate fees and find the places with the right costs for your plants. If you feel the work is beyond have a look at Luxury Landscaping Camberley.
This component of equipment is perhaps going to be the most officially advanced of all that you need. Your lawn really is a landscaping feature and it can need mowing, so if you're the one that's going to do it, receive yourself a superior mower. It could be confusing to buy a lawn mower, simply because you are able to find models that may do means more than you ever want. The truth is, you can buy something fresh from a mail-order catalogue, or visit a second-hand shop and find a utilized machine in wonderful working order. A good link for help is: www.teachingpluslearning.co.uk/ofsted-observations/ . Whenever your yard is big, you might like to consider a lawn mower you can ride, which may protect you time and also muscle-ache.
A Playstation 2 Is Really A Much Better Choice Than The Playstation 3
To begin with the playstation 2 will expense you a complete lot less cash as opposed to in the event you were to receive the playstation 3. You can see that in the event you order it from Amazon it happens to be possible to receive it with free shipping for merely $99.99. If you decide to buy the playstation 3 you'll end up paying $300. Although the ps3 is able to play your DVD's, this doesn't appear to be value the extra $200.
The majority of you can be thinking that they don't even make games for the playstation 2 nowadays. The reality is that Sony is still making hot games for this player, just not because countless as they do for their ps3. Another way you are capable to protect cash by getting a ps2 is due to the fact the games for this device could be picked up for less than $10, that is a whole lot less than the about $50 for the ps3 games. If you break it down you'll recognize that for the exact same cash you are able to receive 5 ps2 games or really one game for the ps3.
Another reason why it is very better to obtain the ps2 is because a great deal of the games happen to be older and your young children may have played them before. Mainly because the game titles can be anything they've played before, they can choose to go outside as the games will likely not be as exciting anymore. And also take a look at tiptop Company of Heroes Cheats. Naturally this really is to not state that, this is definitely going to take place, it surprisingly well might. Naturally, if you just buy them a number of games for it, they usually become bored in time. But certainly you're going to be getting them hot games every so often but you'll not be paying a fortune for them, like I mentioned before there are them for approximately $10.
Not surprisingly these are merely a couple of reasons to receive a ps2, you might be capable to think of more reasons. Truthfully, I bought the playstation 3 when it first came out and ended up putting it on e bay to receive rid of it. Useful link: http://www.wblresources.co.uk. And I ended up being rather satisfied simply just returning to my ps2. While a couple of shops in the shopping centers can nevertheless have the playstation 2 you will almost certainly discover it cheaper on Amazon. Which means by simply getting it through Amazon you'll be saving income.
Let's Take A Look At The Games Arcade Master Game System
When it comes to the present games that are accessible now, you are going to see that there a lot of people that really choose the traditional style video games from years previous. Many of you almost certainly had among the Sega genesis games, and you must remember exactly how much fun those games were. The truth of the matter is you are able to discover the older Sega genesis consoles on websites like Ebay, but you're going to see that the cost for these older games are outrageous. For those of you who want to play quite a lot of your old favorite Sega Genesis games you are going to see that the At Games Arcade Master will allow you to do this.
When it comes to the game itself I am certain you are going to be pleased to understand that the game absolutely has 26 games in it, creating it ready to play right out of the box. For those of you who can have invested in a plug and play game before you may be probably aware of the fact that they commonly run on batteries, but this game utilizes usual home current. This is a fantastic choice for those of you that are tired of regularly needing to buy batteries for your plug and play devices, because this will no longer be a concern with this item.
You'll be pleased to understand that this includes loads of really popular games such as Eternal Champions, Shinobi 3 and also one of the much more popular games Altered Beast. While these are some of the more enjoyable games for me to play, you are going to possibly see that with a 26 games that are included you are going to have the ability to find the games you enjoy as well. And when you get a minute take a good look at this how to do Lara Croft Costume. And for people who are interested in additional games that are not included on this item you're going to be happy to understand that you will be able to add games with the SD memory card slot.
Plenty of people like the older arcade fashion controllers and you are going to find that the tabletop controller that comes with this item is very synonymous to these. You're going to find that the controller itself has one joystick and six different arcade fashion buttons that are willing to complete your arcade experience. For people who may have a absolutely older TV, I ought to point out that RCA jacks will be something which is required on your TV if you need to be able to use this item with it.
Although there've not been plenty of reviews on this item you are going to discover that the two reviews on Amazon gave this a 4 from five star rating. A number of you will be wondering exactly how much this product bills and I ought to mention that Amazon is currently marketing this for $45.00.
Set Up Your Games For Stress Free Playing
Subtitles can be found in most games within the audio menu. Many people find it difficult to hear the dialog on the noise of gunfire and music. Seek out an opportunity to make subtitles on and improve your stress free playing. Just about all games should have this. You can try to alter subtitles at this screen if you wish.
Always hide before reloading. Reloading opens you approximately the enemy. Make sure to be a better soldier than that. Find somewhere to cover before starting to reload.
If your game doesn't give you the capacity to disable the chat, will not purchase it to start with. Check online or question the salesperson to be certain of the game's features.
When playing games online, watch yourself. Sometimes, you may need to pay a monthly access fee. If your children want to access a website where their friends are playing, look at the site first. Research whether any fees come to mind and figure out whether they are fair.
Take a look at each of the settings on any console you hold. You will find normally modes that don't allow youngsters gain access to heavier material. You may be able to customize content restrictions for each an affiliate your family.
Look at ratings and discover what ages are ideal for games having an "M" rating. Most xbox game systems can be fixed in order that adult games are blocked. It can be more difficult to do that over a computer. Be diligent and thoroughly monitor the games that your particular child plays.
Don't discard old, used games because you don't play them any longer. Plenty of stores will give you cash to acquire your older games. You can use the cash from your trade-in of your respective old games to acquire new games.
As was mentioned earlier in this post, online games are here to remain. You and also the individuals your loved ones can discover plenty of enjoyment with this hobby. If you want into gaming, utilize the tips given in this article.
Improve Your Memory By Playing Games
For those of you who could have trouble recalling items you're going to find that 1 method you can improve your memory is by playing different sorts of games designed to aid with this. I hate to disappoint individuals that are thinking that playing World Of Warcraft all day long can assist, but this is not the sort of game we're speaking about. The games that will help with memory and also where you can discover these games are what we're going to be discussing on this page.
Pattern II is the initial thing we want to talk about as a technique for you to start improving your memory. The foundation of the game will be that they put colored blocks in a Tic-Tac-Toe design game board, and this creates a pattern which you will want to remember. The game is far more difficult than you think as you will need to recreate exactly the same pattern that you see after only viewing the pattern for regarding you second. After you start this game you could possibly really think it is anything which is simple to win, but as you keep doing better the game gets slowly more challenging.
After you master the initially game you can possibly desire to begin playing another game which is more difficult called Path Memory. For individuals who make a decision to test this game you are going to see that it's a simple game of following a path that they generate from 1 apartment to another. Although the initial level may have 3 houses with a path, the second level may have 4 houses with a path, and some of you might be thinking it is quite simple. Something I ought to point out relating to this game is the fact that each level that is cleared might result in another apartment to be added to the path, which causes this game to receive challenging quickly.
For those of you who remember Simon and liked it, you'll probably moreover like the next game we are going to be discussing called five UFOs. Another one to bear in mind is this great Legend of Zelda Map. This game will supply you with five UFOs on your screen that are of different hues, these UFOs will illuminate in a pattern and you simply want to recreate the pattern. This game is different than the classic Simon game that you remember, simply because they never just add a color after a level is completed, they also change the whole pattern for the next level. As a result of the difference between these two games you ought to realize that Five UFOs is really a game that's going to be much more difficult than the older fashioned Simon game.
These games can be very effective at helping men and women that are older maintain a sharp memory, however they could equally be advantageous for younger people who need to enhance their memory. If you go to improvememory.org, you're going to obtain that you are able to not just find these games there but they are moreover completely free to play. Also see this:
At this point in time they have 17 different memory games to play for free, thus not merely can you be capable to enhance your memory but you'll have an assortment of games to select from.
Playing video games can introduce you to whole new worlds
Playing video games can introduce you to whole new worlds that are yours to discover! The article below is the place for some solid advice and interesting suggestions to improve your gaming experience. Keep reading to discover more!
Try buying used games. It can be difficult to deal with if you spend that much money only to determine that you don't like the game. Used video games cost much less than brand new games.
When you're getting a game for someone, check the ESRB rating. This is especially important if this game is for a kid. This tells the ages range that is best for that particular game. The ratings tell you which games are appropriate.
Look at the online capabilities of your child's console. This lets you filter what your child experiences to be sure it's appropriate for their age. You can also set limits on who they are able to chat with.
Make sure you stretch often as you play. When you sit and do the same thing again and again, muscles wear out. This should really be part of the easy to read Skyrim System Requirements ! When you stretch your muscles, you will not get cramps as easily and you reduce the risk of having blood clots. This is very good for you.
For children who are very young, disable the chat feature. A very young child does not need the interaction of a chat system and it can cause them to hear language that is not appropriate for their age of development. Games which don't allow you to customize should not be purchased. You can search specifications online or speak with the sales clerk.
Make sure that you analyze whether or not this is worth it. Purchased items can enhance your level of playing and make the experience more rewarding. But they may also save time.
Libraries often lend video games. There are often games for many different systems, so just check the catalog to see if the one you want is available.
Learn the Metacritic score of any video game you're thinking about buying prior to purchasing it. Some video games are on sale because they are no fun. Buying a badly reviewed game really isn't a savings if you won't enjoy it. Knowing the Metacritic score will help you to make smart purchases.
If you have children, be sure their video games are appropriate for their age. Before they dive into any video game, look on the box of the product to see if the game is appropriate for your child. You will likely want to avoid the games that blatantly promote excessive violence.
Buy a cleaning kit for your discs if you invest a lot in games. A cleaning kit will get tho e games back in running condition. Research the kits before deciding on one, though. To learn more take a look at
It's easy to see there are many ways to relax and have fun with a video game at the same time. You can relax and feel good about your skills or learn something new. You will enjoy yourself more if you take the good advice found in the article below.

Love it!
Works great! Looks super. Great to show off!Read More
Very very clean and nice look. Love the fan.
I don't like most ceiling fans, this one doesn't look clumky or gets dusty. It is very convenient as it works on a remote.Read More
Oh's and Aw's
Blades are clear plastic, they don't looks strong, but hey, don't hang on them. They wind down behind the light, so it just looks like a light fixture when in use. This fan is very quite and sturdy. The light fixture is kind of big, but that's probably so the fan blades can't be seen. We get lots of compliments on this fan.Read More
Love this Fan!
This fan lives up to the hype. The blades are translucent and fold into the light when not in use. The light is bright enough for what I needed. I like the modern style .Read More
History with Hunter
Well even though I purchased two of the Fanaways in May in process of a 3 room Reno they were just installed July 9; anybody who has ever lived through a Reno knows why big delay. As the title says I've had history with Hunter fans over 25yrs and fully expect the same function&reliability as I've enjoyed in the past.When I went to the website to look for ceiling fans I discovered the Fanaway and it was love at first sight soooo unique and I had to have them; everyone who sees them thinks they're great too!!!Read More
Amazing Fan
The fan is amazing, the foldaway baldes give it a sleek and streamlined look. It is super quiet and very effective at cooling. The light is also very bright and white. I have no complaints, I love this fan!!Read More
Perfectly unique Fan/Light combo
I've been resisting installing a ceiling fan because I'm just not into the look. but when this came out, it was the perfect compromise. The fan blades retract when not in use, and leaves you with a totally cool light pendant fixture. I almost had to return this and overstock.com was so quick and responsive. As it turned out, I found an electrician who was able to install it so that I can use a light switch instead of the built-in receiver/transmitter. I have a super slopped ceiling, and if you use the receiver/transmitter inside the canopy, the fan wouldn't hang down vertically. After googling many sites, it turned out that the wiring is just a standard 3-wire that you can attach to a 2-way wall switch. Went to Home Depot and got the Hunter 2-way switch and an extra long down rod, and the electrician was able to install no problem. Also in googling, people were complaining how the compact fluorescent was too "cold and bright", but it was fine for us. You can replace it with a warmer bulb which we may at some point, but we're happy for now. The price here was $100 cheaper than Amazon but the price has changed since I bought it.Read More
This fan is a true beauty..super silent and sleek!
If you love great design and engineering-you're in luck. The super silent retracting blades make this an beautiful and hardworking addition to any room. The light is a little too bright for me, but that is a minor thing. I am showing this number off to all my friends.Read More
This was a nice fan but not enough information about installation. When I got the fan I had to send it back because you need 8 foot ceilings to install it my ceilings are 71/2 ft. IIt would have been nice for that to be posted on the site. The return of this fan was very easy and good customer service.Read More
Amazing fan ... blades disappear when not in use
This fan is the cutest! The blades are see through and hide above the light when not in use. Would love to install more of these fans in the rest of the house.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello bigsis63, there are no pull chains on the fan, so the wall switch would have to have speed control capabilities. The fan uses a remote control as its mode of operation.Yes, the fan only runs in one direction due to the retracting blade design. It only uses one (1) 40 Watt Circline T-5 bulb. Thank you for shopping with us.
Do you offer an extended warranty for fanaway?
Hello ms9908, Unfortunately we do not offer an extended warranty on Hunter Fan Fanaway Ceiling Fan at this time. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
Can fanaway be flush mounted?
I'm not sure what you mean by flush mounted. It's obviously got to be away from the ceiling so the blades can turn. I had my installed by a licensed electrician. There's the fan, the short piece that connects to the part that goes up against the ceiling and that part is flush, but it's pyramid shaped. It looks exactly like it does in the photo.
how many volts that this fan fanaway needs
Hi naajiyah, 120 volts. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
Is the remote the only way to turn the fan and light on and off? Does the remote replace the light switch?
Hello aggie72, No, you can turn the fan off from the light switch. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
Can this fan be installed without the small down rod?
Hello, mrsdsnei. Hope your day is going well. This fan comes with two rods--- (short) standard mounting & (longer) for angled mounting. A rod must be used…Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Does the remote included dim the light? and reverse the direction of the fan blades rotation?
Hello cathy5695, I'm sorry this information is not available. Thank you for shopping with us!
Are the blades white or clear? They come in both and want to make sure before i order.
The blades are hide-a-way and clear. A great fan!
Can this fan be used on a porch?
Hello junebug3027, we would not recommend this fixture for outdoor use as we cannot find any information stating that it can be used outdoors. Thank you for shopping with us.
do you have this in brushed nickel
Thank you for your question. I am sorry, we do not have the Hunter Fan Fanaway Ceiling Fan in brushed nickel.
what is the size of the blades?
Thank you for your question. The blade span on the Hunter Fan Fanaway Ceiling Fan, is 48 inches.
I am looking at the Hunter fan away ceiling fan http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hunter-Fan-Fanaway-Ceiling-Fan/5777957/product.html I like the fact that the blades retract because I will be putting this in my kitchen. Is ther a setting to bring the baldes out, without moving, for cleaning?
Thank you for your interest. After making sure the fan is off, you would just manually pull the fan blade out for cleaning. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Someone answered my question about the diameter of the lamp fixture on this fan as being 48", that does not sound right as the whole fan is 48". Does anyone know the measurement of only the light fixture part of the fan?
The widest part of the fixture is approximately 18.7 inches wide.
What is the diameter of the light fixture?
The diameter is 48 inches.
It's large...20-24" I estimate.
Just got our fan, surprised that it didn't come with the bulb. So now trying to find one and I know it's T5 40W circline, but what diameter? And any suggestions on where to get it?
Local department store
Really? Our fan came with bulb. Love the fun of showing off this fan!
Will the remote allow for the light to be off or on all the time?
The answer is yes.
Yes, it's a regular on/off button.
Does this fan run in both directions for heat dispersion and cooling?
Yes, it does.
I purchased the fan and can not tell how to make the fan run in the other direction. Is it configured to pull air up from the floor. There is no switch or remote settintg
When fan is turned on, the blades swing out under centrifugal force. You can mount it in two positions. There must be another way to install the blades so that they run the other direction.
Is this fan available at Overstock.com in the Brushed Chrome finish? (Hunter makes one in this finish, which I have seen elsewhere.)
Unfortunately, we only have this item in a white color.
what is the shortest extension to the ceiling? I hae only a eight foot ceiling.
Unfortunately, we have no information regarding the shortest extension. However, customers state that this item works perfectly with an eight-foot ceiling.
We also have 8' ceiling and it is no problem. Yes, you can see some of the blades but it is still worth it. Love this fan.
Is the remote included with this fan? Your answer says no, but one of the reviewers says it can only be operated with remote it came with??
I''m sorry for the confusion; this fan comes with a remote, and the fan can only be operated with the remote.
Our came with the fan. It's the only way to turn it on and off. It even comes with a plate to hang it on the swith. Love it.

Benny Solis Blogs About His Off-Season and 2012
NEWS November 21, 2011
Photo Provided by Team RidersDiscount.com Vesrah Suzuki
For me, this week has been very exciting. Mainly because I signed with Riders Discount Vesrah Suzuki to race in the Daytona Sportbike Class for the 2012 season. Training has been good and online school has been the same as usual, just working hard so I can play harder! I'm actually more motivated to push harder every time I'm training because all I have in my mind is next season and I want to be ready, and proper rest is needed so I like to take Sundays off and sometimes both Saturday and Sunday depending on how hard my trainer and I have been pushing during the week. Weekends are always fun so I excited for this one, I normally spend time with the family or go riding at Gorman where there are many trails. I like trails because i like the high speed dirt stuff instead of the MX tracks because I've gotten hurt before on jumps and i hate it when my season gets ruined due to training injures. I might go this Sunday, I'm not sure but tomorrow (Saturday) I have somewhat of a project with my little brother. He takes cooking classes and he wants to create his own pie from scratch, so he wants my help and were going to get "pie stuff" at the store and getting a recipe online haha. It should be fun, I guess we'll see. Can't wait to start riding the Suzuki more, it should be fun :)

Chevron, a unique and powerful take on the renowned Cable design, takes its cue from a motif that has appeared throughout the ages, from ancient Greek pottery to early Scandinavian heraldry to modern military insignia. David Yurman skillfully interprets the design in a modern, sculptural form, creating a play on light and dark—the valleys of the pattern are oxidized while the peaks are kept brightly polished.

All the home cooked flavor and none of the work.
Made with Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, it's so easy to make any meal special with our new Macaroni and Cheese. The "farm fresh" Dakin Farm ingredients really set these dishes apart from ordinary! Our Mac and Cheese is made with extra sharp Vermont cheddar; just like Grandma Joan Cutting's family recipe. You'll savor the Dakin Farm tradition in every bite of these new specialties.
With each order you will get:
Good product.
A first-rate product. Delicious flavor, (we like the bacon mac & cheese best) the pasta neither mushy nor too dry. Really ideal. A little pepper, a little oregano, and it is ready to go! I can't make it better than this in my own kitchen from scratch.
We really didn't care for this item.
This product rivals homemade mac and cheese! It tastes great and is so easy to cook in the microwave. I often add fresh broccoli about halfway through the cooking time and it makes a great, quick and tasty meal!

The third annual Ridgway YMCA Kids Triathlon was held July 30 with 14 triathletes participating. Based at the Ridgway YMCA, the event consisted of swimming, biking, and running. The swim leg was held in the YMCA pool, and the bike and run legs were held on nearby streets. The transition area for T1 (swim to bike) and T2 (bike to run) was located behind the former Ridgway Armory building.
The YMCA staff and volunteers were assisted by the Ridgway Police Department and Ridgway Fire Police ensured the safety of all of the young athletes as they swam, biked and ran their way to the finish line. The intent of the YMCA Kids Triathlon is to provide kids with a fun way to physically and mentally challenge themselves while promoting a healthy lifestyle that includes a variety of activities.
The event sponsors, Ridgway YMCA, Ridgway Ambulance Association, Athena Laser Clinic and Dave's Pro Shop, ensured that all triathletes received a T-shirt, and the top three finishers in each division were awarded gold, silver and bronze medals. Most important is the fact that the kids challenged themselves and had a good time staying fit, and that makes them all winners.
The Ridgway YMCA Kids Triathlon continues to be a fun and challenging event year after year, enjoyed by kids, parents and spectators alike. The Board of Directors of the Ridgway YMCA would like to commend the committee, parents, kids, sponsors, staff and volunteers for doing such a great job. The event will continue to grow as the YMCA continues to share a vision of building strong kids, strong families and a strong community.
The kids were divided by age and gender into eight groups with the individual events adjusted for age as follows: 5-6, 30 yard swim, ½ mile bike, ¼ mile run; 7-8, 30 yard swim, 1 mile bike, ¼ mile run; 9-10, 60 yard swim, 1 mile bike, ½ mile run; 11-12, 90 yard swim, 1 mile bike, ½ mile run.

Comments about Pintech Plastic Practice Cymbal:
I have been shopping around for more cymbals for my electric kit. Because of how much they cost, I decided to DIY my own. These were perfect! Now I have 2 more cymbals for my kit for about 1/4 the price of buying a new pad.
Comments about Pintech Plastic Practice Cymbal:
These are great for DIY ecymbals. I currently use them for my DIy edrum kit. The bounce back isn't so great but other than that they work wonders.
Comments about Pintech Plastic Practice Cymbal:
This cymbal is pretty good for edrum DIY projects; while it is made of a flimsier plastic, it does work very well. The range of sizes also is nice.

The 31-year-old New Zealander – the second cousin of former F1 driver David Coulthard – was the only driver to eclipse Craig Lowndes' V8 Supercar lap record around Albert Park in the 30-minute qualifying session, and he did so with 0.3491 seconds to spare over Brad Jones Racing team-mate Jason Bright, both steering Holden Commodore VFs.
"Track conditions were perfect today, and I had a really clean run throughout the session," said Coulthard. "I didn't really come across any other cars, and I am delighted with pole position."
However, Bright won't sit beside Coulthard on the front row for tomorrow's opening 12-lap race at 11:00am, as the 40-year-old Victorian was pinged two grid positions for failing to head straight to the pits after an earlier practice session, citing an inability to see the chequered flag.
"It would have been great to see two Brad Jones Racing cars on the front row, but now we'll have to wait for (the next round in) Tasmania to see that," Bright joked.
Bright's sanction elevated another New Zealander, Shane Van Gisbergen (Commodore VF) onto the front row of the grid, with Bright to start alongside Lowndes (Commodore VF) on the second row.
Van Gisbergen was a race winner at Albert Park in 2012, with Mark Winterbottom claiming the chequered flag in the other two outings.
Meanwhile, the Nissan Altimas of Michael Caruso and Todd Kelly qualified in 12th and 13th respectively, with the Mercedes E63 AMG of Tim Slade in 14th. Both cars have joined the V8 Supercars scene in 2013 under the fledgling Car of the Future regulations.
Reigning V8 Supercar champion Jamie Whincup (Commodore VF) qualified in fifth, while Winterbottom rounded out the top 10 in his Ford Falcon FG – the third Blue Oval car on the grid behind David Reynolds and Will Davison.
Four MSS Security V8 Supercars Challenge races will be held over the next three days: two on Friday and one apiece on Saturday and Sunday. Pit stops will be compulsory in all four races for the 28 drivers.

Nico Rosberg insists he would've come out on top in Sunday's British GP battle with Lewis Hamilton had he not been forced to retire.
Starting in pole position the Mercedes driver built a lead of five-seconds plus over his team-mate before he reported a "gearbox problem on the downshift".
At the same stage Hamilton somehow found a new level and started to close the gap, but there was to be no Merc clash at the front as Rosberg retired.
"It is always a good battle, but I was very much in control up until then which is why I was all the more disappointed," he told Sky Sports F1.
"I'm very confident that I would have won the race." the German added in his post-race media session.
The German's problems started shortly after his pitstop and although he initially thought he could manage it for the remainder of the race, he had to park his car on the grass for his first retirement of the season.
"It was just slowly but surely," he said. "The first problem started around lap 20 after the pitstop and then it just got worse from there.
"I was trying to think if there was some safe setting we could put it in or just drive in a completely different way just to get to the end of the race - okay I would let Lewis go, but it would still be valuable points if I could get to the end. But there was nothing that I could do or that they could suggest to save the gearbox.
"There was one thing before the start or just after which was weird and then after that it sort of got worse and worse from lap 20 onwards. It resulted in some neutral occasions so I had to pull the clutch and go again. Then it just got worse and worse from there.
"My mentality changed from 'let's stop racing Lewis and let's just try and get this thing to the end somehow because I have such a pace advantage I can do some pretty radical things to try and keep this gearbox alive'. But there wasn't really anything that could be done from their opinion [in the garage]."

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I am looking for a new driving putter. I currently use a challenger but have not been happy with the results as of late. I am looking for something I can rip on and know it will fly straight, but something that also won't hyzer out when throw flat and slower? Is there anything out there for me?
Views: 2155
Hands down, the Zone it goes farther than any normal putter, its very low profile so its almost more of a mid range, I can huck one 350. I can also attest to the focus being a great driving putter, I never seem to turn it all the way over. Ive also thrown one of those over 300ft. But really its whatever works for you, I see people using all different putters to drive with.
KC Pro Aviar.
I would agree that it takes a good move to net the desired results with the Pure, do it wrong, and it shows. It has all been going right with the Pure, and today it went perfect. I aced hole #9b on the Lakeside course at La Mirada. In the new teepad position we are estimating 355' downhill under a low canopy. Smashed the crap outta the chains.
I may have to start throwing driver only rounds to make sure my form is up to speed to throw my Pure. :)
Well done sir!
Distances out past 250' with a putter is getting pretty extreme. I know we can all do it because we are studs, but that really is a long way for a putter. There has to be a comfort level for you with driving a putter, mine is about 70% power combined with hitting the right height and angle. Beyond 70% and my form will break down for driving with it; that or I better have a little room for making the mistake. I am so much more effective using a shorter reach back and punching the shot there. If it looks like I'm gonna have make a long reachback with the putter while on the teepad, I'll just stop and change out for a mid or fairway driver to stay in that controlled power zone.
Find a putter that works for you in your comfort range of power, you'll be deadly accurate with it.
ZONE, its a slower buzzz
How is the mercy compared to the pure in the hand? Is it deeper than the pure? I love the Zero line grip but how is the new EZE? I am thinking of getting an Opto Pure. I am really liking how the pure is flying for me right now.
It is deeper and a much different feel. The ones I got are super sticky and feel like a medium wizard to me. I love the opto and gold plastic but the eze is perfect for a putter imho.
I putt with a magnet and a KC. I have used too many putters over the last few years and have driven with all of them, so I might be of help on this one... Straight/anny less that 250= magnets all day (check Jerm and Cale's bio on discraft's page for a lil boosted confidence in your consideration) I think that aside from the magnet, the best driving putter is the pure over all. The problem that I find with pures is that they start great, break in marvelously and then after a month or three, they go into helter skelter mode and I lose trust. I have hit aces with both magnets and pures, 200 and 220 respectively, but the pure is out of my bag and all have been given to less powerful throwers at this point because they are money for them, not trustworthy for me in that stage of their lives. I have a Opto Pure coming my way, thanks to a friend who scooped one for me at Worlds. Can't wait to throw it.
I hear amazing things about anodes and I purchased one to check it out. It is one heck of a utilitiy driving putter (I hear the gyro ones are the best,,, idk) I like it a lot but I only have space for three driving putters and it didn't make the cut only because it couldn't beat out the glow Champ aviar p&a. I can't find anything recently produced that I like and I look for the 08 cfrs because they are VERY stiff and I can wail on them with maximum driving force with no worries at all (won am distance at the GBO this year with 546') I got 5th in ADV at the GCC this year because of the 08 glow aviar and knowing how to use it. I threw it for every non anny/non overhand drive under 380 and it distanced me from the comp. Their wasn't much of a canopy there and the course was so fast/skippy that I could throw it 340ish and trust it to just slide up to the basket. The folks I played with were throwing mids/edges and were skipping 60 left. This lead to lots of OB and NAGS and over time a lot of busting my chops for bombing putters. I would slide 30-40 up on the completion of flight on my drives and was rarely out of the circle while using it, but that lead to a lot of non-converted birds due to my previous troubles with putting...
Nevertheless, If you can find a STIFF one buy it. I don't mean kinda stiff, I mean, might as well be made out of metal stiff, like this last year's cfr glow champ firebirds are in comparison
I have no idea about the mercy but I would love to chuck it, and if you like the uderdog/lil guy companies, like I do, you should consider getting a clutch, which is basically a re tooled hard magnet and the other Legacy putter, the clozer, is a slightly more over stable version of a clutch/magnet that is a little beefier in the rim. Hope this helps and happy huking
I use a Vibram Ridge (X-link Firm) off the tee. So easy to use and flies straight and true. Super durable. I've had mine for a couple years now. Don't be afraid to pick up a couple of these discs that have been mentioned in the thread. Worse comes to worst, you can trade em' out or sell them.

Nobody loves you as much as mom. You can give her a Mother's Day she will cherish with the gift of Vermont. Take her to a Vermont inn, restaurant, attraction, or simply a drive in the country.
If that's not possible this year, you can send Vermont to her with a Vermont Teddy Bear. They are very good at online orders and ship quickly. If you are going to travel to Vermont next weekend (Mother's Day is May 10), a tour of the Vermont Teddy Bear factory in Shelburne VT would be fun.
Vermont Teddy Bear has several pages of Mother's Day bears on its website, plus a grandmother bear too.
Make reservations soon and enjoy your day with mom.

"Natural" and "Supernatural" are Modern Categories, Not Biblical Ones
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
Did Newton's God Vanish with the "Gaps" in His Science?
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
If God created the universe, what created God?
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
