Final Fantasy All the Bravest, a "a touch-action RPG in which you continuously battle enemies to advance through the game's many stages", is out right now for the iOS.
Here's the launch trailer in both English and Japanese.
*throws up a little* Sorry... If they're going to do crap like this for phones, at LEAST port them to the 3DS and Vita stores for handhelds...
Wow, they just keep whoring out those same God-damned sprites from the early 90s.
Talk about a creatively bankrupt company.
All those characters to control makes me wonder how the gameplay will feel.
So what is this? Sort of like a retro FF mmo? Are all those characters like individual players taking turns or something? Sort of like Curiosity but an rpg?
Meh, doesn't look like it'd be for me.

Interview with Carmen A. Pantoja, Puerto Rican Single Point of Contact
29 July 2009
Coordinating and helping with the organisation of IYA2009 on national levels are the Single Points of Contact (SPoC). These individuals manage country-wide astronomy popularisation efforts. They are at the forefront of the IYA2009 strategy, cementing the largest science communication network ever seen. Simply put, without their time and expertise IYA2009 would be an impossible task.
Puerto Rico's SPoC is Carmen A. Pantoja, a radio astronomer working at the Department of Physics of the University of Puerto Rico, San Juan campus. The IYA2009 Secretariat caught up with Carmen to ask some questions about IYA2009, Puerto Rico, and the importance of astronomy.
Why did you decide to get involved in IYA2009?
It was a decision involving the members of the organising committee of the IYA2009-Puerto Rico. The members are astronomers, working at the University of Puerto Rico, and are actively involved in outreach. IYA2009 represented an attractive and challenging opportunity to work together on a project to impact our community.
Could you describe the organisational structure of your IYA2009 Node?
Our node has an organising committee whose members are: Dr. Mayra E. Lebrón Santos, UPR-San Juan, Dr. Daniel R. Altschuler UPR-San Juan, Dr. José L. Alonso, UPR-Cayey and Dr. Carmen A. Pantoja, UPR-San Juan. This committee has invited all members of the NASA Puerto Rico Space Grant Consortium to participate in IYA2009-Puerto Rico. We have established a working group with 25 members. These include the University of Puerto Rico, the Interamerican University, the Polytechnic University, the two principal amateur astronomy groups: "Sociedad de Astronomía del Caribe" and "Sociedad de Astronomía de Puerto Rico", the Arecibo Observatory, and the Caribe Girl Scout Council. We are in contact through e-mail and through monthly meetings at the University of Puerto Rico, San Juan campus.
Why do you think astronomy and IYA2009 is important for Puerto Rico?
Astronomy is very attractive to the general public, and it is an exciting way to reach young students and children and encourage them to have a positive attitude towards science and mathematics.
How do you involve the different publics in astronomy and IYA2009 events?
In 2008 the organising committee thought carefully about the goals of IYA2009 and the particular needs of our community in Puerto Rico. An important tool we used as a guide was a study published in 2007 of the
Social Needs of Puerto Rico that was sponsored by the United Way ("Fondos Unidos de Puerto Rico") and the Non Profit Foundations: "Fundación Ángel Ramos", "Fundación Comunitaria de Puerto Rico" and "Fundación Chana Goldstein y Samuel Levis". This study recommended outreach activities developed with the community focused on children, young, and elderly population, strengthening family interactions and values. In addition to the goals of IYA2009, in Puerto Rico we are focussed on the following:
1 - our activities should stress the value of personal effort as a way to achieve goals;
2 - reducing the fear or aversion to mathematics;
3 - showing the importance of science in daily life;
4 - showing how science and technology can help to attain a more just and peaceful society.
What activities have been run in Puerto Rico so far?
IYA2009 in Puerto Rico started with an education workshop in the summer of 2008. The goal of this was to establish a group of volunteers to help with IYA2009 activities. Mostly college-level students, they were named Starry Messengers. Through a NASA Space Grant award these students spent four days at the Arecibo Observatory learning about IYA2009 and working with the general public at the Fundación Ángel Ramos" Visitor Center. This workshop included two blind participants, and materials were used and some were developed for communicating IYA2009 to this audience. We contacted the IYA2009-Jamaica node to help us with an exhibit of poetry with the astronomical theme of poets from the Caribbean. Two poems from members of their amateur society were displayed at an Open House announcing IYA2009 at the Arecibo Observatory in 2008 with the Starry Messengers. The "Fundación Comunitaria de Puerto Rico" sponsored two Starry Messengers to assist with the IYA2009 inauguration in Paris.
The inauguration of IYA2009 in Puerto Rico was in January and was held at the oldest cultural centre on the island: the Ateneo Puertorriqueño. The highlight of the event was a set of 14 images from the From Earth To The Universe (FETTU) collection, and a remote observing session with a telescope in Texas coordinated with Dr. Lucas Macri from the University of Texas.
Each month in 2009 there have been public talks and observing sessions throughout the island. Professors from the University of Puerto Rico have created a poem and a song to honour Galileo. We had the song recorded by one of the most popular groups in Puerto Rico: the Cantores de Bayamón. We have worked with school groups and general audiences. The set of FETTU images is now a travelling collection for schools with the theme of the Life of Stars. We have created a webpage for the Puerto Rico node to inform the public of our events, complete with important links.
For the 100 Hours of Astronomy (100HA) we had the enthusiastic participation of thousands of people. The activity was held at Old San Juan. We had a special exhibit: a replica of the Mars Rover from Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Two JPL engineers: Alfonso Herrera and Carolina Barltrop participated of the event and interacted with the public. We had diverse activities for families during the day and night. In particular we prepared a special adapted exhibit for the visually impaired. We are very proud that the video of the Arecibo Observatory that was presented during the Around the World in 80 Telescopes webcast. Our video was prepared by undergraduate students from the University of Puerto Rico School of Communication under the guidance of Professor Carlos Malavé. 100HA integrated University professors, professional astronomers, and amateur astronomers in an observing event of a scale never before seen on the island.
We had a graduate student from the University of Puerto Rico, Ms. Gloria Isidro, visit Israel and present the activities of the IYA2009-Puerto Rico at the Science Education Conference Marking the Astronomy Year and the Darwin Theory Bicentennial. During this visit Ms. Isidro presented a workshop at the Hateed College in Afula on adapted materials in astronomy for the visually impaired.
What do you have planned for the near future, and beyond 2009?
To celebrate the Apollo 11 mission we have organised a discussion panel with experts from different fields to discuss the mission from spiritual, scientific, social and media points of view.
Members from the Sociedad del Caribe will visit the Dominican Republic to collaborate with astronomy public talks and observations in this country of the Caribbean.
In October we are looking forward to the Division of Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society meeting in Puerto Rico. Several of the experts attending this professional meeting have offered to give presentations and workshops for schools and the public. During October we will have the theme of the Solar System and planets. The Puerto Rico symphony orchestra will present "The Planets" by Gustav Holst. We are planning to have several family activities during the Galilean Nights Cornerstone project in October.
We will publish an eight-page astronomy newspaper insert in the autumn, funded with a NASA IDEAS award.
We expect our closing event will be the NASA FETTU exhibit travelling to different locations on the island.
The working group for IYA2009-Puerto Rico has expressed interest in continuing the coordinated collaboration for science outreach beyond 2009.
Which challenges have you had to face as the Single Point of Contact for Puerto Rico?
One of the challenges is to manage time efficiently so the working groups can run smoothly, and the other is financial, to be able to provide the necessary materials for volunteers and the public.
Do you have any message for other IYA2009 supporters?
IYA2009 will be memorable for all those who have participated and a great experience. I would congratulate all the persons involved in IYA2009, the organisers, and the public that attend the events and make this effort worthwhile.

To find the legislation that is part of the Rebuild the American Dream Framework, click here.
Persistent mass unemployment constitutes a national emergency and a human calamity that is damaging all facets of the United States economy. Roughly 25 million Americans are in need of full time work, including underemployed Americans and those who have simply given up looking for work. The numbers are stark for everyone, but even more so for minority communities. While unemployment stands at 9.1% nationally, it's over 11% for Hispanics and almost 17% for African Americans. More and more Americans are facing or living in poverty, desperately in need of a good job at a living wage. While the President's plan is a good start, we want to offer a more comprehensive plan to put America back to work.
After repeated efforts by conservative Washington politicians to reenact the same failed policies that brought us the worst recession since the Great Depression, Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) took action. CPC Members traveled across the country listening to the American people, working to elevate their voices in the misguided debate in Washington. We went to Minneapolis and Detroit, Milwaukee and New York, Miami and Oakland, listening to Americans of every stripe tell their stories of struggling in today's bleak economy with one common theme; the need for good jobs now.
We heard from young people, graduating into a market that has no place for them. A skilled carpenter without work told of struggling to pay his mortgage while watching his life savings evaporate. We heard from seniors, teachers and bookkeepers, one day confident of their place in the middle class, the next finding themselves without work, without savings and without hope.
The Americans we listened to understand that this isn't a passing downturn. They fear that our country is in decline and that their children will have fewer opportunities than they did, if we fail to act. Americans aren't looking for short-term, quick fix gimmicks; they are looking for a serious, long-term strategy that will revive our economy, put people to work and cement a prosperous future for all Americans.
After months of Americans speaking out across the country, Washington is finally starting to wake up to the demands of the people. They do not lack a work ethic; they lack work. They know that a nation isn't prosperous or free when big corporations sit on record profits while millions of people sit idle in their homes. They want Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid protected. They think big banks should help pay to clean up the mess they have made. They want the rich to pay their fair share, and want an end to the money politics where predatory corporate lobbies rig the rules to benefit a wealthy few. The Congressional Progressive Caucus has pledged to tell their stories in Washington – and to act by demanding policies to meet the challenges they face every day. We are presenting this strategic framework to help guide a national conversation about rebuilding America, our middle class, and the American Dream.
Our principles, endorsed by thousands of Americans on the SpeakOut! For Good Jobs Now Tour, are clear: In America, every good worker deserves a good American job. America should work again for people who work for a living. Working Americans should use their strength in numbers to counter corporate dollars. Our framework is as follows:
Make it in America Again
We must begin with a strategy to revive manufacturing in the United States. This requires developing something every other industrial nation has – a national plan for manufacturing. When people see the words "Made in America" they know that they are getting the highest quality manufactured goods money can buy. We need a policy that reopens our factories and lets Americans do what they do best: produce the highest quality products in the world.
Rebuild America
With the cost of borrowing near zero, the construction industry flat on its back, and America's decrepit infrastructure not only a competitive burden, but a threat to lives and safety, there is no better time to launch a major initiative to rebuild America. Create a national investment bank to leverage private capital and ensure that major projects are determined by merit, not by political muscle. Rebuild our half century old roads, bridges, locks and dams, while spurring creation of the roads of the future by connecting and empowering our country with fiber optic cable.
Jobs for the Next Generation
There is no shortage of work to be done in America and no shortage of workers to do it. One in four teenagers are officially unemployed, including nearly half of young African Americans and Latinos. We are witnessing a generation of crushed hopes, and we are squandering the talent of young Americans. Destructive cuts in public education threaten America's economic success and we are now falling behind. While we must invest in the finest public education and job training in the world, education is no longer a guarantee of work. Let us make the guarantee of a good American job real for every young person. We should provide direct employment in the public sector and incentives for hiring in the non-profit sector and private sector. In addition, the caucus supports a "Train me and pay me" program which would give stipends to workers and young people who are enrolled in job training programs.
Lead the Green Industrial Revolution
A centerpiece of our economic strategy must be to create good jobs now by capturing the lead in the industrial revolution that is sweeping the world – starting with clean energy, electric cars, and efficient appliances. We need to invest in research and innovation so that America remains on the cutting edge of global technologies. Provide investment incentives to companies to create jobs here at home. Build a modern smart grid that can deliver efficiency and clean energy.
Not Just Jobs – Good Jobs
American workers want good American jobs, not poverty level wages without benefits that make it impossible to support a family or save for the future. We can start by making sure that middle-class Americans are free to organize and have a voice and a seat at the table again. If corporations can join together to hire an army of lobbyists, working Americans must come together and use their strength in numbers to protect the rights of middle class Americans. We must ensure that businesses obey our labor laws and reward those that create good paying American jobs that protect our rights to equal opportunity and equal pay. Programs like TANF ECF have been proven to put people to work. And while we work on building these good jobs, we must ensure the long-term unemployed receive the full assistance and services they need so they can continue contributing to the economy.
Fair Taxes - Shared Sacrifice
Let big corporations and their CEOs pay what they used to pay in taxes, and the deficit will be gone faster than you can say fairness. As we detailed in the People's Budget, we need tax reform, in which corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share. End the Bush tax giveaways, close corporate loopholes and tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas. Crack down on offshore tax havens; curb Wall Street speculators and outrageous banker bonuses to provide the resources needed to invest in rebuilding America.

Marketing Manager
Since the beginning of 2014 we at Danielson belong to the SCHURTER Group and reinforce their division Input Systems. Since this takeover, my job has definitely changed. I studied Marketing Communications. Since the integration into the SCHURTER Group the international aspect of my work has greatly increased since a large part of my work now concerns the division. This change suits me very well personally. Thus I come into contact with many people in a wide variety of departments and various countries. That makes my work very interesting!
Due to the international aspect the decision-making pathways have become somewhat longer than before, but I find the exchange across cultural boundaries very exciting. I appreciate being able to work with dependable colleagues. Supporting one another, dealing respectfully with one another, being open and honest, those are the important values that are not written out on paper but are nevertheless also experienced.
Besides the regular marketing activities, the development of the new SCHURTER website is currently on the agenda. Here I am responsible for the Input Systems area, collecting all of the data and coordinating the content. Two to three times a year I organize trade fair appearances for the team, then also for electronica in Munich, the leading trade fair for electronic components, systems and applications in the world. We are proud that SCHURTER has assigned us this responsible role.
On the whole, my work in the company and the Group is recognized. This feedback is important to me. It is good to know that one is on the right track.
Please check our current vacancies. We are confident you will find an interesting opportunity.

This post is for all the Moms out there. Graduation is approaching quickly and you're going to be sending your babies out into the world of college or the world of work. Either way, your babies are going to be very small fish swimming around in a very big pond.
What's a Mom to do? Your babies need to create their own personal brand. They're well on their way, with all your years of nurturing, but there's even more you can do right at this juncture in their lives:
Give them stationery!
What? Yes, you heard correctly, even in this age of e-mail and cell phones and texting. (Here's a thought to ponder. All texting requires is a tool and two opposable thumbs. My, haven't we come a long way in our development?!)
It wasn't that long ago that those who first had a computer, who used e-mail, who bought a cell phone, a PDA or any other piece of technology were the ones who stood out from the crowd. They were admired and respected. They were out in front of the pack. They were the big fish in a small pond.
But the pendulum is swinging. Not backwards, but ahead toward a more civil, respectful and courteous society. Ask yourself this: who will stand out from the crowd; be admired and respected; be remembered most favorably:
The person who sends you a garbled tweet thanking you for that delicious dinner, or the person who sent you a hand-written thank-you note?
The applicant who follows up the job interview with an e-mail, or the applicant who follows up with a hand-written note acknowledging the generosity of time and consideration for the future.
The friend who catches up with you with a "wassup?" text or the friend who writes a note just because "I was thinking about you today."
The young networker who hands you his number on a wet cocktail napkin or the young networker who hands you her card?
These are the people who will be remembered for their courtesy, respect and civility.
That can be your baby!
Here's a great start to building an esteemed personal brand. Send your little fish into the big pond with personal cards. They say "I have arrived. Here I am!"

Graduation's a Great Time to Build Your Baby's Brand

I love this and I totally agree. Tactile and lasting. Great ways to be prepared to make a good first impression on all one may meet through networking, association meetings and everywhere on life's path to success.

Excellent, spot on advice! I coordinate a research program for undergraduate students at a large, public university who are headed out on the job market and graduate/professional school. I continually hammer the message home that EVERY job interview, gift, etc...deserves to be recognized with a handwritten note precisely because fewer people see the need, and instead reach for their electronic device of choice. A personal calling card is another great piece to one's professional arsenal.

I think this might be my first comment on your blog, so I feel a bit awkward being so frank, however, I have to say that I agree and disagree. First of all, I am a bit offended that you are directing this post to "Moms." Can't fathers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends give stationery? I also don't understand why you are referring to educated adults as "babies." The purpose of having stationery is so that these people will be taken seriously, but you aren't even doing that. Secondly, I completely agree that a handwritten note and a business card has a more lasting and personal impact on the receiver. I agree with all of your examples except for the one about the job interview--it really depends on the field and the sort of position. In some cases it is better to let the interviewer decide to follow up afterwards, as giving a thank-you (by email or paper) can come across as artificial and even irritating to a busy interviewer. Sorry again for being so blunt.

Hi Eliza:
No apology necessary for being blunt. I always appreciate well-thought-out comments. Your points are duly noted and respected.
Of course, anyone can give stationery as a gift; this was merely one timely example.
When I sit down to write a blog post, I'm not setting out to write the definitive volume on the most appropriate use of stationery in every one of life's occasions.
I am hoping to promote a point of view which, hopefully, will promote, if only in a very small instance, a civil, respectful and courteous lifestyle. And I hope to entertain - sometimes successful, sometimes not.
I thank you very much for your attention to my writings and for your considered response to this latest post.
With best regards,
- April 30, 2010 at 8:51 PM

- Harry Potter: "He can read minds?"
- Severus Snape: "You have no subtlety, Potter. You do not understand fine distinctions. Only Muggles talk of 'mind-reading'. The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by any invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter ... or at least, most minds are ..."
- — Severus Snape explains "mind-reading" to Harry Potter[src]
Mind-reading is the ability to perceive the thoughts or feelings of others through extrasensory means. According to Severus Snape, this term is used only by Muggles and is a notably inaccurate description of Legilimency[1] (as there are far broader possibilities for this ability). Nonetheless, the magical art of Legilimency can achieve mind-reading, as could the mental connection that was shared by Voldemort and Harry Potter, which resulted from a piece of Voldemort's soul that lodged inside of Harry's body.

Outsourcing Boatloads Of Content To Build Your Affiliate Empire
For the last couple of months or so I've been outsourcing major amounts of content to build up my top TripAdvisor and Adsense earnings websites and blogs, for article marketing and to build up my top earning BANS eBay store as well. When I wrote about my goals for 2009 back in December 2008, I had stated I wanted to focus on the things that had been solid money makers and Adsense was one of them. One thing I didn't include was the top BANS site that has at times made over $1,000 per month. That site, along with another site in the same niche, only broader, will be included in this year's work because they have way too much potential to just let them go. They are especially relevant to today's troubled financial times.
This past Friday I received my second order of 100 articles bringing the total number of outsourced articles so far this year to 210. I have used Elance.com in the past with good success, but decided not to go through them this time because of the amount of work I want to get done. The thought of waiting for bids, screening writers and working with possibly 10 or 20 different people to help accomplish my goals for content this year wasn't appealing, so I instead found 1 company that can write all the articles I need. I'm looking at doing possibly as many as 1,000 articles this year.
I initially sent a test set of 10 travel articles at the end of December to SEO Article Writing Pros and they did such a good job that I have since sent them 2 additional orders for 100 articles each. The first set of 10 travel articles were written as if they were reading my mind. Except for a few minor spelling mistakes, the articles were exactly what I needed. Then the first set of 100 articles were for 2 different niches and 3 different sites, plus for article marketing. There were a couple of articles that need to be re-done and they were promptly back to me the same day.
To alleviate any miscommunication for the next set of 100 articles, which were much more technical, I included from 1 to 3 urls for the writers that gave specific information on exactly what I was looking for. Initial instructions always include a keyword phrase or title for the article and a 1 to 2 sentence description of what I'm looking for. It's very important to give as much information as possible to your writers so you won't be disappointed with what you get back.
Cost for articles at SEO Article Writing Pros is 10 articles for $10 each, 25 articles at $9.50 each, 50 at $9 each or 100 at $8.50 each. Smaller quantities are available at either $13 per single article or $12 each for 5 articles.
The plan was to originally have about 20 to 30 articles done per month, but I immediately brought that up to 100 articles per month because I wanted to start off the year with a bang. I'll probably skip sending in an order for March, but will send in another for April.
The articles are being used for adding content to travel sites and blogs to ultimately earn more Adsense revenue through organic search traffic. For the BANS site the content will be to get more organic search engine traffic that ultimately ends up at eBay. The BANS site will eventually have more Adsense added to the site depending on how much traffic it ends up getting, again, from organic search. The articles will also be used for article marketing to get more incoming links and boost the natural search traffic to those sites and blogs.
I'll go into exactly how I'm doing the article marketing and adding the content to the sites and blogs in a future post. In the mean time, if you want to jam out some serious content, give SEO Article Writing Pros a look. Go ahead and check them out, I don't earn anything for recommending them.

Brooklyn Heights, NY – The SHU women's volleyball unleashed a relentless attack and cruised to a 3-0 triumph at St. Francis (NY) Saturday afternoon. Johanna Ovsenek (London, Ontario) ripped nine kills on ten swings for a .900 hitting percentage. Kimmee Roleder (Pasadena, CA) recorded a match high 13 kills while swinging at a .394 clip. Jessica Colberg (Long Beach, CA), the reigning NEC defender of the week, paced the Pioneer defense with nine digs.
Sacred Heart (15-5, 5-0 NEC) exploded out of the gates to take a 12-3 advantage in the opening set. The Terriers managed just two kills and hit -.259 in the first game. Alissa Young (La Verne, CA) and Ovsenek combined for one of SHU's six blocks of the match to secure the 25-9 first set victory for the Pioneers.
St. Francis (NY) (1-21, 0-6) climbed out of an early hole in the second set, getting to within four, 16-12, following a Feliz Ramirez service ace. The Terriers' highest attack percentage came in the second set at .105 while notching seven kills. The Pioneers ended the set with back-to-back points as Dianis Mercado (Vega Baja, Puerto Rico) provided a service ace followed by a Young kill. Mercado and Young rounded out the afternoon with six kills each.
The third set was more of the same as the Pioneers rattled off ten straight points to open the game. Roleder slammed home three kills within a four point span down the stretch as Sacred Heart took the set, 25-13, and the match, 3-0. The Pioneers finished the match with a season high .356 hitting percentage, totaling 41 kills against just ten errors.
The SHU volleyball team opens up a four game home stand tomorrow afternoon against intrastate rival Quinnipiac. First serve inside the William H. Pitt Center is slated for 1:00 pm.

Today, I noticed my memory was much clearer. I was trying to locate my cell phone, and I had clear vision of what I did with it when I came in the night before. This is unusual for me. For the past three years, I have had fogged memory, which I continue to blame on chemo brain. Many of my blogs have been about chemo brain, and many of you have commented and concurred with it. Well today, the change in memory function was notable.
My oncologist insists that chemo brain does not exist as chemo drugs do not cross the blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier prevents unwanted foreign cells from penetrating the protected environment of the brain. In fact, I have learned that the barrier is only known to be broken down by high blood pressure, microwaves, radiation infection and trauma. There is some indication that high concentrations of a substance in the blood, like alcohol, can penetrate it, but chemotherapy has been shown not to. That seems to be the biggest hindrance in researching chemo brain for those who truly believe there is such a condition (and also a hindrance in treating some cancers of the brain).
Some work is being done on the concept that chemotherapy indirectly affects the barrier by causing the body to produce cytokines, natural chemicals that can affect cognitive function. Cancer cells as well are known to pump out cytokines, as noted by Christina Meyers, Ph.D., of the Department of Neuro-Oncology at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
This all sounds very smart of me, but it is right there on the Web to Google. I like to know that things are real, and there are enough of us to say chemo brain is real. And I did tell you that I would continue to look into this condition. This kind of information means there may be something to help us soon!

Shots fired at Granby-area King Mountain Ranch, police still in pursuit of suspect
Noon, Thursday, Sept. 11, GRANBY — Sheriff's Deputies returned the area to continue the investigation on Thursday, though had not yet developed any solid leads as to who the suspect is by press time.
3:22 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 11, GRANBY — A shooting occurred at King Mountain Ranch, late Wednesday morning, Sept. 11, at about 11 miles up Highway 125 from Highway 40.
An unidentified shooter took a shot at the caretaker for the King Mountain Ranch property with a gun, which was presumably stolen from the ranch's property. The caretaker fired his personal weapon twice into the ground to warn the shooter he was armed after the initial shot was taken.
The caretaker for the ranch did not see who shot at him and could not provide a description of the shooter, according to Grand County Sheriff Rod Johnson.
No injuries were reported in relation to the incident, and no arrests have been reported.
Grand County Sheriff deputies were scouring the area surrounding the ranch on Wednesday in an attempt to locate the unidentified shooter.
Due to erroneous information shared with the Sky-Hi News, the original story concerning this shooting falsely stated the incident took place at the C Lazy U guest ranch.

Customised Sourcing Goes Overseas(HKTDC Fashion - Fabrics & Accessories, Vol 01,2008)
Proven TDC Services
The customised on-site tdctrade.com sourcing service has proved such a success in Hong Kong that it is being extended to selected overseas trade fairs
The rollout began with Tendence Lifestyle, Frankfurt last month and continues with the Style Hong Kong in Moscow Expo in September, giving buyers at these fairs the opportunity to receive an instant list of relevant exhibitors/suppliers at that particular event.
Developed by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (TDC), the customised tdctrade.com sourcing service has generated more than one million enquiries for suppliers since its launch at the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show in March 2007.
Among the many tdctrade.com sourcing success stories is Cynthia Cheung, director of 15-year-old fashion accessory supplier CYT Industrial Co.
She found a quick and effective way to overcome her hurdles and locate targeted manufacturers during a visit to the recent Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair.
"I visit the fair regularly to find suitable packaging suppliers," she explains, adding that the show also provides the latest fashion jewellery trends for design inspiration.
In the past, she used to visit the fair booth by booth so as not to miss anything important. "However, due to the huge size of the fair in recent years, I felt totally exhausted afterwards!"
Help was at hand at the recent Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair, where Cheung discovered the innovative tdctrade.com sourcing service expressly designed to help buyers quickly find targeted exhibitors.
"The TDC's on-site staff asked me what kind of products I was looking for, and immediately searched for matching suppliers through the online database," she recalls. "A list of related suppliers was printed out for me, including the booth numbers and product photos - which made my work much easier!"
The information on the list, which is also sent to enquiring buyers by email, was "very useful" and allowed Cheung to visit the right exhibitors at the fair while also providing a handy record for future use.
The groundbreaking sourcing service reflects the TDC's understanding that a comprehensive database is a major consideration when using an online platform to search for suppliers.
Accordingly, TDC has placed the details of exhibitors at its 30 trade fairs and its 14 trade magazine advertisers on its www.tdctrade.com website to provide an exhaustive database of more than 100,000 suppliers.
The TDC has helped solve several problems for Cheung, who initially started using the organisation's trade information services to gather data and statistics on overseas markets.
"TDC is a well-established organisation in Hong Kong, so overseas buyers go there for help when they want to find good suppliers," she reasons. "I therefore realised that I could publicise my products to potential customers and interested buyers would take the initiative and contact us."
Approximately two years ago, Cheung also started to advertise in the TDC's Hong Kong Fabrics & Accessories product magazine and is "very satisfied" with the results as the magazine has helped her win customers at more than 20 of the TDC's Hong Kong fairs and their overseas counterparts.
"TDC distributes its product magazines at many important overseas trade fairs, which of course attract a lot of overseas buyers," Cheung explains. "Our company has successfully gained customers from new markets such as Portugal and Poland, apart from the usual European and US markets."
Recently, CYT started to advertise in TDC's www.tdctrade.com online platform because online sourcing is the "big trend" in today's fast-paced business world and one of the major sources of information for buyers and suppliers alike.
Many overseas buyers use TDC's online platform to help their sourcing activities, so TDC has integrated its product magazines with the online website to become a one-stop platform that caters to the diverse needs of buyers.
For example, magazine advertisers' websites at www.tdctrade.com are published in TDC product magazines, combining two promotional efforts into one and attracting buyers to browse in search of more information.
"Online sourcing provides a 24-hour service, making contact with buyers much easier," she maintains. "For example, we have received enquiries from customers in Europe, the US, South Africa and Eastern Europe."
On average, Cheung says, CYT receives more than 10 enquiries every month, which helps broaden its clientele. "Although CYT has not advertised in TDC's promotional channels for long, half of our customers came from the TDC and we will continue to use the highly efficient and effective tdctrade.com sourcing service," Cheung concludes.
The TDC's customised tdctrade.com sourcing service saves you time and money with five steps:
|visit the on-site service outlets identified by the magnifying glass signpost
|tell the on-site assistants which products you are seeking
|get an instant printed list of relevant on-site exhibitors and off-site suppliers - with company information, product names and photos
|meet quality suppliers at the fair
|continue to contact suppliers after the fair

Story highlights
- Cruise lines will conduct safety drills before leaving port
- The policy is being voluntarily implemented by cruise associations
- Current laws require safety drills within 24 hours of embarking
Cruise lines are now required to conduct passenger safety drills before leaving port, under a rule announced by three cruise industry associations.
The new policy is the first to come out of an internal cruise industry review announced last month in response to the Costa Concordia disaster. At least 16 people died and 16 are still missing following the ship's January 13 collision with rocks close to the shore of the Italian island of Giglio.
Holding muster drills before leaving port goes beyond the existing legal requirement that passengers participate in the safety drills within 24 hours of embarking.
"There are various means of delivering passenger safety instructions and abandon ship instructions, but we believe ... the existing international requirement that we provide this instruction within 24 hours can be bettered by doing it immediately upon (passenger) boarding," said Michael Crye, executive vice president of Cruise Lines International Association.
CLIA -- the largest cruise industry organization in North America, according to its website -- the European Cruise Council and the UK-based Passenger Shipping Association all have adopted the new policy, effective immediately. Passengers who arrive after drills are held will receive prompt individual or group safety briefings.
About 600 of more than 3,000 Corcordia passengers had not participated in the muster drill because they got on the ship within hours of the accident.
"The official investigation will make a determination as to whether this briefing would have been helpful in that regard," Crye said.
The organizations will consider the findings of the official Concordia investigation when they are released and make further recommendations based on those details, Crye said.

It's never too early to prepare for a new business win! This was the strategy Atlas Copco Rental used when pitching for the business of Mexico's largest integrated steel plant. Preparatory work began one year before the client asked for quotes, and the team was ready with a customized solution that won the company a long-term rental contract.
28 March 2013
Altos Hornos de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (AHMSA), is the largest integrated steel plant in Mexico.
A few years ago, AHMSA started a project which aim is to modernize and optimize its processes, right from the stage when mines supply the raw material, to the production of liquid steel, plate, hot-rolled coil and structural shapes.
Atlas Copco Rental Mexico offered a long-term rental proposal for a period of five years, initially consisting of 3 oil-injected G 250 FF compressors and 3 dryers CD700+. All the compressors would be tele-monitored and the complete system would comply with Siemens quality air request of 8573-1 Class 1.2.2, used mainly for instrumentation.
" What worked to our advantage was the completeness of the offer with new equipment that would be monitored all the time, maintenance and a 24/7 service presence. In addition, we could offer portable units for their cold box tests before the arrival of the new compressors and dryers. Air-supply warranty no matter what was a winning argument! "
One of AHMSA's production processes is a smelting process called "hot rolled", where Atlas Copco compressed air system will help to standardize, remove impurities and roll steel sheets. The Atlas Copco units will enable AHMSA to increase its capacity from the current 500 000 tons to 1 000 000 tons of steel sheets.
Because we know our market and find out early about upcoming opportunities!
One of the main success factors is that Atlas Copco Mexico identified this opportunity very early. Instead of just quoting to the customer, the team was able to offer the best possible solution. It even became possible to advise the customer, which was seen as so professional that AHMSA modified some of their specifications.
There is amazing potential of long-term rentals!
Atlas Copco is a world-leading provider of sustainable productivity solutions. The Group serves customers with innovative compressors, vacuum solutions and air treatment systems, construction and mining equipment, power tools and assembly systems. Atlas Copco develops products and service focused on productivity, energy efficiency, safety and ergonomics. The company was founded in 1873, is based in Stockholm, Sweden, and has a global reach spanning more than 180 countries. In 2015, Atlas Copco had revenues of BSEK 102 (BEUR 11) and more than 43 000 employees.
Specialty Rental is a division within Atlas Copco's Construction Technique business area. It serves customers in the industry segments around the world with temporary air, nitrogen, steam and power rental solutions. The specialty rental services are offered under several brands. The divisional headquarters is located in Houston, USA.

A new dress has been done.
I sewed this very casual pretty dress, in polyester georgette and contrasting cotton/silk blend, using a pattern called "Leia" from TAMANEGI-KOBO. It was an easy sewing, except the front yoke. The seam above chest is winding as you can see in the technical drawing below, and it needed a bit of help with glues and hemming tapes to get it done neatly. Basically, I glued the yoke and the bodice using a common stick glue (the type that is used for paper and is water soluble, but not the type that is called "fabric glue/adhesive" for hand craft) but didn't do traditional basting at all this time. I pasted those parts with glue as they should be placed, and then sewed the winding seam without any basting pin.

My glues! The blue color turns into clear and invisible as it dries, very convenient!I can't say whether your stick type glue would work exactly same as mine or not, but if you can be relatively sure that it doesn't seem to cause stains on your fabric, I'd recommend you once to check if it is usable for your sewing (onto fabric). I confess that I love pasting fabrics! I use pins, threads, laundry pegs, iron-on hemming tapes and stick glues for basting. If I needed to sew very correctly at very difficult corner on very slippery fabrics and also if I knew I was going to wash the garment in water anyway, I'd definitely paste them with hemming tape or glue as a basting. I use them in easier cases too. Since the pasted seam allowances can not be practically opened after stitching, I have to spend a second to think if it is alright with those seams kept closed, though. After introducing adhesive bastings and PDF patterns to my sewing, the scene of my hobby is very similar to the one in kid's Arts and Crafts classroom, with pens, scissors, glues, papers, tapes, cutters, hammers, tweezers, etc., and I've been amused by that. Me at sewing looks very unprofessional. But who cares?
I think this dress has quite a use. Very casual and relaxed in a good way.
(It is pretty and goes very well with my new .... ahem, new pair of sandals!)
Take care and have a good weekend!

Downstairs Bathroom – the After Pictures!
Alright, finally it's time to show the pictures of our finished downstairs bathroom! I'm really excited to show you these and very pleased that the design I had in my head was realized so well in this renovation.
Hooray! The renovation is complete! As you can see, we painted the wooden slats that are above the beadboard and trim in alternating white and tan stripes, which run all the way up on the ceiling. The other elements in the room are dark brown wooden and natural elements.
I got this adorable octagonal mirror for a whopping $3.75 on clearance at Hobby Lobby.
I also got this vintage packing crate on Etsy and hung it on the wall as a shelf for hand soap.
We bought brown bamboo roman shades at Home Depot and cut them down to size to fit the window.
I got brown woven basket at Michaels to hold extra toilet paper and towels and you can see the pretty striped blue and tan and white towels that we got for the room. The towel and toilet paper holders we got at IKEA. I think they were something like $8 each, and match the brushed nickel of the existing light fixture pretty well. You can also see the new floors Kelly talked me into installing! It's a really cool vinyl tile that looks like planks of wood. Kelly had to do some creative cutting to get it to install around the trim on the doorframe, but he did, and it looks great! I am so glad we did the floors. The room looks 100 times better with them done.
And then of course, there is the crowning jewel of the room – the one item that gives this room so much more function – the toilet lid sink!
It was (according to Kelly) a snap to install – it just hooks into your existing water line. When you flush, fresh water from the pipe gets routed through the spigot and then after you wash your hands, the gray water fills the tank. Even though the lid expands and contracts to fit multiple sizes of toilets, the one we have in the bathroom is really too small for it. But it still works fine and Kelly sealed it up well with some kind of sticky roofing sealant product that he got for free from a friend.
I don't have a great picture of the hallway, and really, it's not quite done yet. Kelly has to shave a few centimeters off of the bottom of the doorway that leads outside so that it can actually open over the new flooring and also create a new threshhold. We also need to save up a few pennies to get a few of the remnants of the historical wallpaper we found preserved and framed. We plan to hang them on the wall in the hallway. But you can see from this shot that we installed the beadboard and trim here as well, and then, rather than stripes like we did in the bathroom, we painted all of the exposed wood the tan color.
Also, I must say, just washing the window panes in that door changed that space COMPLETELY. There was years worth of grime on them. And now I look at the other windows in my house and cringe…
Anyway, so there's our new bathroom – what do you think?

Goodbye, Original Xbox Live: Our Memories
Nearly eight years later, the service spans two consoles and over twenty-three million accounts--some free, some paid--offering not just online multiplayer, but downloads of demos, full-fledged games, in-game content, music, movies and more.
But to move forward, Microsoft must first take a step back. "We need to make changes to the service that are incompatible with our original Xbox v1 games," the company said earlier this year, revealing that it would discontinue original service on April 15.
So, with today marking the last full day that owners of original Xbox games can play them online via Xbox Live, we've compiled our brief thoughts and our memories :
Goodnight, Sweet Prince by Chris Faylor
Dearest Xbox Live v1,I Hardly Knew Ye, by Brian Leahy
I understand you will soon be leaving us, and while I haven't utilized some of your offerings in a great long while, I want you to know that I look back on our time together with great fondness.
For example, it was sure swell to get Halo 2 on launch day, hop online, and discover that my far-off brother and friends had done the same. It wasn't exactly the same as playing side-by-side, but it was close enough. Nowadays, that experience seems mundane, but back then it was novel.
Of course, as you're no doubt aware, much of what you offered has been upgraded and expanded by your sibling Xbox Live v2 and cousin Xbox 360. Halo 2 has since been usurped in our rotation by Halo 3 and other Xbox 360 games, plus the various responsibilities that come with age.
But while many of your offerings have since been revised and revisited, some remain as hallmarks of soon-to-be-gone era. The addictive blend of Phantom Dust's destructive action and customizable card game-style attacks--players would assemble a deck of skills and abilities and then draw from it randomly--remains unmatched. There's been nothing quite like Steel Battalion: Line of Contact and its hulking forty-or-so button controller, and there's likely not to be anything like it again.
Surely, some will lament that you ushered in an era of pay-to-play multiplayer and eventually popularized microtransctions, not to mention how you've provided countless discriminating teenagers with microphones and a captive audience, but that's for a different time.
For now, Xbox Live v1, just know that you'll be missed.
My experience with the original Xbox Live is not as illustrious as Mr. Faylor's because during its golden age, I was trapped behind a firewall at college, unable to get most games to connect for online play.LIVE is Dead! Long Live LIVE!, by Jeff Mattas
During my Freshman year, before BitTorrent put an end to open college Internet, I managed to get a few games of MechAssault in here or there along with some Spies vs. Mercs in Splinter Center: Pandora Tomorrow. I even jumped online for some Madden 2003, which solidified by still-standing reluctance to play Madden online with strangers. Forty-five minutes voice-chatting with one person is usually either uncomfortable silence, constant taunting, or listening to whatever is going on in my opponent's household.I never actually got to play a good amount of Halo 2 online as bandwidth limits and insane firewalls were setup by the game's release. By the time I was free from my unfavorable Internet situation, the Xbox 360 had been released.
I hopped on to Halo 2, only to be destroyed by the viscous playerbase. My console FPS skills had not been developed yet and I promptly went back to PC shooters until Gears of War was released--but that's another tale.
Even though I didn't use the original Xbox Live all that much, I followed the growing player population and popularity of the service with Halo 2. I'm glad Microsoft had Xbox Live on the original Xbox because it made Xbox Live on the 360 that much better.
Now, can I finally have more than 100 friends on my list, Live?
Back when the original Xbox Live service was announced, I was cautiously excited about its potential. Would ponying up an unprecedented $49.95 per year really add that much to my gaming experience? How would it compare to the limited (but free!) online functionality lightly-utilized by forerunners like the PlayStation 2 and the ill-fated Sega Dreamcast? Despite unaddressed questions and skepticism, I plunged in and subscribed as soon as the service launched.
What struck me the most about the service was how it enabled a lot of possibilities for console gaming that were previously exclusive to the PC realm. Online play with integrated voice chat seems old-hat now, but its execution in the original Xbox Live service really impressed me. Sure, the premise wasn't exactly new - I'd already been voice chatting my days away in Counter-Strike beta on the PC - but realized that bringing that sort of experience to the living room couch was going to induct a brand new mass of gamers.
Xbox Live also unleashed regular DLC on the console-gaming populace. Much of the first downloadable content was free to download before the giant shift to paid-DLC. The PC gamer in me still cringes at some of the price-points for the types of content I'm used to getting for free, but I think it's safe to say that I've downloaded several hundred dollars worth of content since the service launched. I'm still happy that I made about 90% of those purchase.
These days, all of the major console players are active in the online console space, but none have been able to match Xbox Live feature-set or level of quality. Even Sony, once champion of the "free is better" philosophy for online services, has begun considering a paid-subscription model for the PlayStation Network. Sometimes, you get what you pay for.
