The composites-intensive, long-endurance, fully autonomous ScanEagle unmanned aircraft carries electro-optical and infrared cameras that allow the operator to track stationary and moving targets.
The composites-intenstive ScanEagle unmanned aircraft system (UAS), a joint effort of The Boeing Co. (Seattle, Wash.) and its subsidiary Insitu Inc. (Bingen, Wash.), last week flew its 150,000th hour in service with the U.S. Marine Expeditionary Forces, U.S. Navy, U.S. Special Operations Command, Australian Army and Canadian Forces. ScanEagle has provided persistent in-theater intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) to the joint forces in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2004.
The long-endurance, fully autonomous ScanEagle UAS carries inertially stabilized electro-optical and infrared cameras that allow the operator to track both stationary and moving targets. Capable of flying above 16,000 ft/4,876m and loitering over the battlefield for more than 24 hours, the platform provides persistent low-altitude ISR.
ScanEagle is launched autonomously from a pneumatic SuperWedge catapult launcher and flies either preprogrammed or operator-initiated missions. The Insitu-patented SkyHook system is used to retrieve the UAS, capturing it by way of a rope suspended from a 50-ft/15.2m-high mast.

Poll Question 144 – Do you remember the first mod you played?
I have a terrible memory, and it’s not just age.
I can remember the very first SP FPS game I tried (and hated) Kingdon Honor Guard, the next FPS I tried (and LOVED!) Unreal Tournament and the first SP game I played all the way through: Unreal.
I even remember walking around a PC store and seeing Half-Life but not wanting to try it because I was worried I would lose my love of Unreal.
But one thing I can’t remember is the first map or mod I played for Half-Life.
ahh yes, uplink. I don’t think it’s a mod though but I remember playing that and me and my friend thought it was the full game. Half-Life made such a big impression and still I have fnd memories of that game. pure epicness.
My first mod must have been rocket arena 2 for quake two. The first hl1 mod was counter strike. Back in the day when it still was new and fresh. ahh good times, yes.
Redemption for HL1 was the first unofficial singleplayer mod I played.
It came in some sort of pack with counter-strike, wanted, ricochet and other multiplayer mods, so at that time I didn’t really know what was official and what wasn’t.
For a time I thought Valve had made that mod, even though it was very strange at times and the themes were too odd (amusement park, Tibetan monastery etc).
Oh, yes, I think it was Half-Life: Visitors. It is a very good mod, you all should play it.
Pre HL, some ‘mission” packs for Quake but I don’t think they count here.
For HL 1 Opposing Force and Blue Shift but they aren’t really mods either (within the meaning of the question anyway). So no HL 1 mods at all.
For HL2 it was either Minerva Metastasis or CtA and what a hard and demanding introduction to mods they were.
Made me improve my strategies and tactics though.
Yeah back in the day it was Counter-Strike 1.5 after that I started going to lan houses to play CS 1.5 in lan alot, every saturday morning from 10am to 14pm, and then I got HL and played it all and it was awesome. Then I came to PlanetPhillip when it wasn’t in a blog layout, when it was a full list with many mods and then I downloaded eh … well of course I also played TFC, Ricochet (only twice), etc . But if cs counts, well that was my first HL mod ever.
first Mod you played for half-life.Last 2 lines of the topic.
I got a pirate version of Doom 1.666 on 4 3.5 disks. Still have it. Then I bought the game and collected every single wad I could gather on the net. About 15 CDs stored now. Haven’t played them in a long time.
I still favor the shotgun in HL2.
Hell yeah. Used to stay up all night playing Doom on a local BBS. I cannot remember the very first mod but one of the most memorable was Boothill for Doom 2.
Mine was Duke Nukem 3D, and later the Platinum Pak.
There were also some good user maps and mods written for the game, but the names I cannot remember now.
First mod I had played was a multiplayer mod for Half-Life 1 called Cold-Ice I think, that was probably the most fun I’ve ever had with a game, playing over lan.. That was the good life, probably at least 9-10 years ago.
the earliest “mod” I can remember trying was that Penthouse level for duke3d 1.3D, and also some huge shopping center map.
AHH!, you still remember that one! The full name was “Duke Nukems PentHouse Paradise!” 😉 I still have it in my collection.
I remember playing a few mods for Doom back in the day, including one or two based on Alien / Aliens… later, I went through several mods for Unreal, for about a year after it came out.
My first HL mod was a multiplayer: CounterStrike, of course!
I’ve started with really good mod. It was Coastline to Atmosphere for HL2.
The first mod I ever played was Union for Ep2.
The coolest thing is that the creator is starting to redux the mod and perhaps release a V.2 of it. I’m really looking forward to it. The next mod I played was Nightmare House, then Minerva.
If I don’t count Uplink that I played before full game and training of CS 1.0 (I didn’t know I can play over the internet), it was multiplayer of Wanted! with bots and singleplayer Redemption.
I remember that Zombie Panic! Source was a great mod when I tried it out.
Many months later, I’m hooked on mods.
It was most likely the Orion Nebula Project.
The first mod I played was Wanted which was a western style modification for HL1. I played it back when I was still playing CS 1.5, however it was before I got my own computer. It was so awesome back then!
The first mod I played on my own computer is probably brainbread. That was fun too though I ran out of things to do after a while.
I know the first custom map I played for HL2 was one called All Your Base, which I was unable to finish.
The first HL2 mod I played was Mistake of Pythagoras, which is undoubtedly a must play mod.
Mistake of Pythagoras for HL2 (I was a late starter). My brain is still recovering…..
It was some Quake mission pack IIRC. I wish I could find it again. I also remember playing countless Duke Nukem 3D (which were awesome)/Doom addons before Half-Life.
I think my first Half-Life addon was Drug Barons by Maverick Interactive (creators of Redemption), or USS Darkstar by Neil Manke (and his team). Early mods I remember playing are: Deliverance (by Kevin Lockitt), Mission of Mercy (short, nice addon), DAV’s levels, Barry Bollinger (this guy released a tons of stuff for Half-Life, including prefabs), Freeman’s Revenge.
well the first MOD I played was zombie master, but at the time I didn’t know it was a “MOD”… a few weeks later I found this site, after watching a video of another mod on youtube and clicking on the link in the video description.
Insurgency. I still kinda play it today lol.
Hell yes! It was Counter-Strike 1.5! I did not even know that it was a mod. The only thing I knew was that you have to start Half-Life first. I hadn’t even played Half-Life when I played Counter-Strike!
The first mods were for Unreal & Half-Life1 in good old modem and ISDN days but don’t ask me for the titles of those mods I don’t remember.
Doom 1 & 2 would have been the first SP FPS I played, although I never bought either, followed by Quake 1. I believe Quake 2 was the first I purchased along with the sequel retail releases until Unreal came along.
Unreal I thought was a big stepping stone in the development of SP FPS games, given us the big outdoors and one, if not the first, to break away from the confinements of enclosed combat and encounters.
For me it was a big disappointment when both Quake and Unreal went MP, although both included what was then known as BOT options, however the story line had gone alone with the adventure.
I never originally bought HL1 having been off work and recovering after a major operation, a friend purchased the game for me, and I have never looked back since.
As for custom mods, it was the pursuit of more HL experiences that drove me to search for more of the same, in those days there was no PlanetPhillip and a much lower lever of releases.
It was the gaming magazines that were the chief source of information, such mags has PC Gamer included articles on custom mods and links to online sites that covered HL1 and offered downloads. The magazines were one of the biggest sources of custom mods and included cds most months with both demos and custom games.
The first time I came aware of custom mods was when looking through a bin fall of cheap cds in a retail stationery and book chain store called The Works, to my surprise I found cds containing Quake, Unreal and HL custom mods, most of which in those days were small and basic.
My next line of source became the online sites these included, and here only abbreviations of their names remain in my records, F-Eden, H-King, EH/10, Pixel, H16, and LM, with H16 i.e. Hanger 16 being the most popular at the time and I can recall downloading many a mod from this site. Often starting the download late at night then going to bed and hoping by the morning all had worked ok, so long were the download times in those days.
This of course was the beauty of the give away magazine cds, longer mods were now easy to load as author got more ambitious, also the online site begin to dry up as site owners found the task of updating too time consuming, also MP was taking over online, we are lucky to have Phillip.
For a time TenFour became my only source of HL1 downloads and while this site still exists, least it did last I looked, its updates became few and far between.
I am not sure how I find PlanetPhillip, think it was a response to browsing and the joy of finding a site that had not been over taken with MP.
The hardest part of all this is trying to remember the first custom mods I played, after 10 or 11 years the mind is rusty and with 420 plus HL1 mods under the belt I just don’t remember, I do remember finding the work of Barry Bollinger in the early days who gave us the Resistance series and Dark Operations, it would be nice to find out what became of these early authors, maybe a project for Phillip, not that he has much else to do, joking.
the first mod? opposing force, but we could really call that a game. real mod was case closed for half life 1.
I’m pretty sure the first Half-Life mod I played was Absolute Redemption. Remains one of my all-time favorites to this day.
Azure Sheep, Todesangst 1, Deliverance, Poke 646, Assault on Roswell, for HL1..
Challenger Deep (HL1) at least I think it was called that….might have to go back and look for it in the PP archives, as if I remember little else. it was fun!
It’s been a long road since then, and I hardly play any HL1 Mods nowadays, unless they get a good recommendation on here. It’s at times like this that I think we all should be reminded just what a gold mine Phillip maintains here!
Simply the only place to check when trying to find a HL 1 or 2 Map or Mod….definitely the best!
It was Azure Sheep which is a masterpiece.
I’ll have to second Olrick on that.
Azure Sheep was probably the first, or if not then close to it. I think I discovered mods by reading about Blue Shift that Azure Sheep was what it should have been.
There are better HL1 mods out there. I actually like USS Darkstar and Sweet Half Life better, but Azure Sheep has its moments, managing to tie itself into scenes from HL1, Opposing Force, and possibly even Blue Shift, as well as tying into sections of Point of View, which is a very decent HL1 mod that lets you play as a Vortigon.
My personal favorite HL1 mod is still going to stay as The Trap. That was sheer brilliance.
First FPS Game: Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.
Even though it probably hasn’t aged too well, for the time it was released (only a year after Quake) and taking into account that it was a console FPS, it had excellent controls and surprisingly decent graphics. I still take it out to mess around for a bit, but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten further than beating the 3rd level without at least having the Unlimited Ammo cheat activated. I forget where I found out about RBNSMTH, but it pretty much became a staple of playing that game.
First Intro to Modding: Baldur’s Gate 2.
As far as fully packaged mods, that would most likely be Weimer’s Tactic’s Mod, though I don’t even use it at all anymore. Alternately I might have first used Weimer’s Item-upgrade mod which I still use to this day. My favorite mod specifically for BG2 is Revised Hell Trials that is now part of Ding0’s Quest Pack. BG1tutu is my favorite mod when considering the entire Baldur’s Gate series, since it allows you to play BG1 using the BG2 engine and rules.
It’s nothing huge, but I had always been bugged by how weak the Beastmaster and Wizard Slayer kits were, not just in terms of power, but in terms of how poor they were at their supposed specialties. I changed the Beastmaster to be a better melee fighter and have better influence over animals, and the Wizard Slayer has abilities that would actually make it worth using in battles with Mages both directly and by assisting team members. This Mod also adds a Mime kit to the Bard class, which silences enemies in place of the bard song. The mime kit also has a number of special spells granted through magically infused pantomime.
First Intro to Valve Games: Portal First Slice – I’m a Valve gamer of less than 2 years yet. I first signed up for Steam for this demo in Jan “08. I later was gifted HL2:e1, which was perhaps the best intro to the Half Life series for me. It wasn’t too long, but gave me the gravity gun(AND SUPER GRAVITY GUN) to play around with right off the bat, and then let me take out both a gunship and a stalker. It really wet my appetite for the entire rest of the series.
I later got HL1 during the 10th anniversary deal, and then Opposing Force and Blue shift during the Xmas deal for a total of $3. It was in the middle of all of this that I discovered I could use -dxlevel 81 to improve the bad framerate that Portal:first slice and HL2:e1 were getting. With this knowledge I finally decided it was worth purchasing a physical copy of the Orange Box sometime in or just before Jan “09.
First Source Mod: Uncertain. The Flash Version Map Pack for Portal, Portal: Prelude, Union or Awakening are the earliest mods I can remember. I have over 40 now, probably verging on 50 source and goldsource mods.
At first the only thing I knew about looking for mods was using steam’s mod list, and I also only wanted to play mods that passed themselves off as being part of Half Life cannon.
Then once I finished all of these I started hunting down more, browsing through “Best Half Life Mods!” lists and the like. These led to gems like USS Darkstar (which I think was the first mod to really break me out of the need for the mods I played to be connected to the Half Life storyline), They Hunger, Point of View, Sweet Half Life, Redemption, etc.
Finding Source mods was a lot more difficult. There still isn’t any really comprehensive search method for Source Games and there are thousands of them out there that aren’t worth the time it takes to download them. I still manged to stumble across gems like Minerva, Research and Development, and The Trap based on recommendations by other people. Then I stumbled into Planet Phillip and have only just started finishing off the last of the “Mod of the year” lists.
In the past year I’ve probably gotten nearly 1000 hours of gameplay(and still counting) from an initial investment of only $33. I don’t think I’ve EVER gotten that quality and amount of content for such a low price before.
Counter strike, when it was still a mod ;).
i really can’t remember which mod I played first, to be honest don’t I play that much mods/mappacks. only those who really look interesting to me I do give a change.
thing is, there are so many good new games out there that even for playing them I don’t have time.
I only got into playing FPSs on the PC fairly recently compared to how long I’ve played RTSes and I don’t think I ever played a Age of Empires mod so the first mod I ever played was for Dawn of War, and it was probably the TTRU mod.
The first Quake One hook / rune mod prior to it’s being incorporated into CTF.
First mod I ever played was Minerva:METASTASIS and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed.
I think the first mod I ever played was BrainBread for HL1.

The Israelites camped at the plains of Moab which was across from Jericho.
King Balak of Moab and his people saw all the Israelites had done to the Amorites and were very afraid of them because the Israelites are numerous.
So King Balak sent messenger to tell Balaam to come and curse the Israelites so that he can defeat the Israelites.
The messenger departed and arrives at Balaam’s home. They told Balaam about the Israelites and that King Balak had sent for him to come put a curse on the Israelites so that he can defeat them.
Balaam woke up the next morning and told them that the Lord does not want him to curse the Israelites.
King Balak was not satisfied with Balaam refusing to come and curse the Israelites. So he sent more princes to Balaam this time.
The messenger departed to Balaam the second time to ask him to curse the Israelites.
So Balaam woke up the next day and saddled a donkey back with the messenger to King Balak. When God saw Balaam departed with the messenger, His anger was aroused.
On the way, the angel of the Lord came to stop Balaam.
Balaam’s donkey saw the angel with the sword in front of him so it turned to the wrong way to avoid the angel.
Balaam thought the donkey was not moving in the right way so he hit the donkey with a stick.
Then the angel stood in a narrow path between two vineyards.
When the donkey saw the angel blocking the way, it went straight against the wall so that Balaam’s foot touches the wall.
Balaam was angry and he hit the donkey with a stick again.
The angel went further and stood between two walls. When the donkey saw that it can neither move right or left, it lay down.
Balaam became angry and hit the donkey for the third time.
Then God opened the eyes of Balaam and he saw the angel standing there with the sword.
So Balaam went with the princes to King Balak of Moab.

But the Bible is not silent on the matter of whether infants are capable of believing or not.
We are told that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost while in his mother's womb. That should give us the understanding that babies do indeed have the capability to believe. He was filled with the Holy Ghost.
One who is an unbeliever cannot be filled with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is given to them that believe.
John 7:39 and 14:17 cause me to believe that David's statement in Psalm 22:9,10 is more than prose or poetry. I believe David was indeed made to trust God even in his infant stage.
The idea that a baby is not capable of believe is alien to the Scriptures in light of John being filled with the Spirit while in his mother's womb.
Are you serious? You actually believe that the little baby lied by crying?
Did the baby say it was hungry?
Did the baby say it had a messy diaper?
Did the baby say it was sick?
Or did the baby simply cry because it wanted attention.
You had to have been joking or being sarcastic...no one could seriously believe such a thing.
I hate to say it but I really have seen that people will go to any lenghts no matter how absurd to try to prove what they believe.
For the record, the Bible does not teach that we are born in sin.
Of course I knew how those of the coC felt about this issue and you stated just about what I expected.
Ro 5:19 For as by one man's disOBedience many were made sinners, .
This would have been my answer before this topic came up. But I am not so sure at this point. I am not so sure it did not have more to do with what the fruit did to them than the actual act of disOBedience, though the act would be a part of it. My point about the apple is that the Bible does not say it was an apple. I do not believe it was an apple, but that it remained in the garden and we cannot eat of it today. But Jerry is correct I cannot prove that. But the answer to my question could not be an apple, as the Bible does not say it was an apple. It says You will notice it says knowledge. This bears with it understanding. Now I consider my 21 month old daughter. It would not bother her to run around naked. She does not have the understanding or the knowledge that it is wrong. My wife and I have to dress her and try to keep her modest. When she gets older she will gain the understanding that it is wrong to go naked. Now lets look back at the garden. Adam and eve were the only ones in the garden. The man and his wife. They were naked. But at least one of the first things they understood was that they needed their nakedness covered. The did not do a very good jOB of it!! And when God came he made them coats of skins to properly cover them. Now I believe this is a picture of Christ dieing to cover our sins, but it is also a fact of what happened. When they understood right from wrong they were accountable. Before that they were not accountable. I believe the same stands for little ones. Before they can understand, God does not count them accountable. I suppose if a babe in the womb could understand right from wrong (No I do not believe they can) that child would be accountable. But the rest would be covered by Jesus protection until they have knowledge of Good and evil.
I firmly believe it was disOBedience, they were told they could eat of all, expect that very one, and of course they ate of it.
This somehow seems true for us. it seems most boys and girls will be told a few things they should not do, many of them, like Adam and Eve, that's the 1st thing thye do.
For me I was told by my mother not to go near the pool hall. There was a bunch in the back that played dominoes that gave it a bad name, up front there was pool tables. I just had to go and see what that place looked like inside, of course that was wrong for me to do.
I agree what you stated about young children. Some seem to declare they cannot sin. Anyone can sin, and its sin even if they do not understand its sin.As with the young ones you speak of, they are just not held accountable.
It isn't about how anyone "feels" about this subject that counts; what does matter is what the Bible says and it doesn't not say that we are born in sin. Of course, you did exactly what those who believe in this tenant of Calvanism usually do. You picked your favorite passages and misapplied them to attempt to justify a false doctrine.
You might want to look at a a few passages such as Ezekiel 18:20; 28:11ff; Matt 18:3; 2 Samuel 12:23 etc. Interresting that Jesus said that we must become as the little children which according to YOU are actually sinners.
I know that various baptist groups have various views, but do the IFB (generally speaking) believe in Calvin's TULIP? From discussions on here I would say (generally) you at least believe in THD and P of the Saints and maybe to some degree unconditional election though not exactly. The true belief in this denomniational doctrine says that the person is saved by grace only without anything including faith.
Yes, what the Bible says is what counts, and that's what it says about us.
CoC - you are absolutely wrong - the Bible very distinctly tells us that we are born in sin.
Um, no it doesn't. I will simply point you to my previous comment. These verses clearly demonstrate that we are not born in sin.
I must declare an interest - our only daughter, Elizabeth died in her pram at 3 months. I left home for work leaving her well & happy & she was dead within 3 hours. Subsequently 4 more sons have never erased that precious child from my memory. She would have been the perfect companion for our Pastor's daughter, who in her teenage years had no English girlfriends.
Our pastor at the time referred to 2Sa 12:23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. That child, born of murder & adultery, dead before circumcision, David yet hoped to see.
Many babies of Christians have died in infancy - should we doubt the mercy of the God of love on our babies?
I do not doubt the Scriptures that we are born with a sinful nature, nor that all display that sinful nature as they grow, yet I do not see that this implies hell for those that die young.
coc - scripture has to be taken together. You claim folks are pulling verses out to match their "Calvinistic" beliefs (when in actuality, the greater majority on this board are in no way Calvinist) and yet that is what you do when you put a few verses out and say, lo and behold...it doesn't matter what other scripture says, we aren't born in sin.
You have quoted verses that in no way speak of whether or not someone is born in sin. Context is vital with scripture, as well as dovetailing. The verses in Ezekiel are speaking of physical punishment. Much of the way in which God dealt with the Jews was physical, not spiritual. Reading on to verse 21 in chapter 18, we see the truth of that: "But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die."
I think you accidentally put in a wrong reference? Ez. 28: 11 says: "Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
Matthew 18:3 isn't talking about sinlessness. That isn't even mentioned. What Christ meant here was the simplistic faith that children have. The Bible clearly tells us in Eph. 2 that salvation is by God's grace through faith. And many times adults have to suspend their supposed logical thinking to accept things by faith which children, in their simplicity, do not have to do.
2 Sam 12:23 simply tells us that the child will not return to the earth, but that David will join him. I believe that is a good verse to show that babies go to Heaven when they die, because David knew he was going to be joining God upon his death...and that statement indicates his belief that the child will be there. That doesn't mean that the child was sinless upon birth - it would simply mean that God, in His mercy, wouldn't send a soul to Hell if that soul hadn't had the chance to accept or reject Christ.
I'm sorry, but none of the verses you referenced in any way show that we are not born sinners...while there are many verses that show that we are.
I will clear up that it is Ezek 28:11ff. I will also clear up that I am not taking scriptures out of context. You have to take every passage together. Not one passage teaches that we are born in sin.
Beyond that I will simply point you to the previous mentioned passages.
What verse of Scripture is this from, "...he died while he was morally and spiritually safe."?
What verses indicate there is a time, or there are certain people, who, if they die, are "morally and spiritually safe" and will be rewarded with heaven without having Christ as their Saviour even though elsewhere in Scripture we are told that no one goes to heaven except through Christ?
That verse can be found in II Opinions 3:7.
Is it possible that we may be looking at David's statement concerning the dead child all wrong?
2. The child was now in the grave.
Now, while both of these statements are interesting, they may not be the correct answer. The second can't be correct, for the child had just died... there is no indication that the child had been buried yet.
The first, is plauible, for, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
But, could there be a possible third explanation for David's statement? Maybe.
Could he have meant, 'The child is dead. He cannot walk into this room to see me. I must needs go to the room where his body lies to see him"?
Maybe theologians have been looking at David's statement all wrong.
Had David meant "The child is in heaven, I will go to heaven to be with him,' I would think David would have continued to refuse to eat awaiting the moment that he died so he could be with the child.
I would venture that David either meant he would join the child in heaven or that he would join the child in death.
I would think if he meant either of those choices, he would have continued to refuse to eat and allowed himself to die.
Why would David want to die? He fasted in the hope perhaps his son would be spared and he could raise him in this life. Once he was dead, David was content knowing that one day he would follow his son and there was no more he could do about the matter; so he got on with life.
I don't suppose I even know a theologian to ask about such a thing, yet I know the meaning of what David said, and its clear, David would see his son again, and he was not talking about the grave. And that is the reason David could go on after his babies death.

I swear I've never known Justice to have as many issues as he seems to be developing in the past year. The bugger is getting old on me. I've posted this question on my FB page but I thought I'd post it here for advice too, since there's such a wealth of knowledge amongst you all. I'll also preface this by saying that I know I could just go straight to the vet but it's not urgent and I don't want to put Justice through a consultation if I don't have to. He loves his vet and cuddles with her but he's terrified once the examination starts, ever since he had to go in every second day to have the site of a mast cell tumour removal syringed because the drain wasn't working. Just in case it's relevant, he has another mast cell tumour I'm not having removed. Anyway, on with the issue..
Even for an old man, Justice's shedding seems like a lot to me but then I've never had a senior dog before. The amount in this picture was from about one minute of massaging along his back with the fingertips of one hand. I've put it next to a standard measuring tape to try and provide some scale. He leaves hair all over clothes whenever he brushes up against or sits on people and I don't even want to talk about what my car or the couch covers I'm constantly washing look like. A lot of the time when I've had him in my lap for a cuddle and pats I not only have hair like what's in the picture to throw in the bin but also have hair on my face and up my nose.
I know he never used to be like this when he was younger but I don't know how to tell whether it's just old age or whether he needs to see a vet? He had blood tests done a few months ago before he had surgery to remove a tooth and everything they tested for was within normal range but I don't know if he maybe needs to have his thyroid or something else hormonal tested?
I wouldn't put him through a vet visit just because he is shedding a bit, unless his coat is getting so thin and brittle that his back and flanks are like belly skin. And he looked fine to me in the picture you posted the other day.
Can you think back to this time last year were you having the same problems? Many dogs "blow" their coat once or twice a year. Yes this can certainly happen with short coated dogs too although I do admit your hair sample above does look mostly topcoat without much undercoat in there.
And yes, some seniors can start to shed more heavily as they age, others do not. It can be tricky as increased hair loss can be a symptom of of quite a few different conditions but is rarely the only symptom in those cases.
The seniors I've had that did thin out in coat when they aged I suspect might have been having an old age thing of not being able to process some diet components as easily as they did when they were younger and I tended to increase the sardine portion of their diet to compensate. If, after 6 - 8 weeks of extra sardines their coat does not show a distinct improvement then I started thinking about when was their last seniors blood work up and to book them in with the vet.
He doesn't have any bald patches and still has loads of hair, which is pretty amazing given how much he loses every day.
He was like this all through winter as well, although does seem to be worse the last couple of months with all the heatwaves we're having. I'm. Not super clear on how to tell the difference just by looking at hair but it does seem to be top coat coming off, as it's coming out even just lightly running a hand over him or when he brushes up against you.
Justice was switched from half of his meals coming from a mix of meaty bones/sardines, yoghurt, eggs and half kibble about 7 weeks ago to fully raw with the Big Dog Wellbeing BARF Patties, his sardine intake was increased to at least 4 times a week from roughly twice a week, and meaty bone intake reduced from 5 days a week to 2 to 3.i haven't seen any improvement in his coat in that time but his poos have improved significantly and adding a probiotic a couple of weeks ago has settled down gas issues. Which now makes me wonder.. since the gas issues started roughly a year ago too, whether they could be connected as part of not processing food as well in his old age?
Its been a tough summer on dogs coats that amount of hair looks normal but as already mentioned looking at coat quality & potential issues is the key .
His health issues could certainly be playing havoc with his system .
Oh.. lol. Well that makes me feel a bit better about the amount of hair Justice is losing.
I suspect it being worse over the past couple of months could be heat related, as this summer has been ridiculously hot and we're at the beginning of another long heatwave, but he's bad all year round now. His coat used to be super soft and shiny when he was younger and I constantly got comments about how it was like petting a silky cat. It's quite dull and dry now (is getting worse but started a few years ago, probably somewhere in the months before the first mast cell tumour was found but no idea if they're connected) and hasn't improved, no matter how much I add in the way of eggs and fish, and I was giving him sardines in oil for a while for extra oils but went back to ones in water as part of managing his weight. He gets bathed once every four weeks when he's having his nails done by the groomer, although this has been going on for years and years and didn't use to present any noticeable issues in terms of stripping oils from his coat. Maybe I should reduce the frequency of the baths to just when he's been rolling in dirt (or revolting fish guts at the beach), since he's pretty clean most of the time as a primarily indoor dog?
I think this in combination with the extra hot summer seems to be reasonable.
When I change my own diet, it's over a couple of months I start to see changes. I view this as his body adjusting to the production of good (better?) body oils, follicle health / hair growth, and the old hair and follicles making way for the good/new ones, so the old ones need to make way. Have you changed anything in his grooming routine, ie the sort of brush you use, frequency of brushing etc?
eta: just saw your comment RE the groomer. I don't feel my comment holds much value given that and the timeline - if it did more frequent brushing to help with the follicle stimulation is what would make sense. How are his paws, are they drier than usual?
That could make sense. I hadn't thought about it as making room for new, healthier growth. I must admit that I'm terrible and don't brush him between grooming appointments. I haven't noticed any changes to his oaws but I just gave them a rub and they feel normal and not too dry. Would dry paws be indicative of bigger health issues going on?
I don't think so necessarily but if it was a dry skin issue leading to hair loss I theorised that the paws would be quite dry too.
I love the photo of the big feller in your new profile pic.
Awww.. Thanks. It was taken on a recent walk.
Nothing to panic about now but significant hair loss is one of the symptoms of Cushings disease (Indy got this when he was about 11). Again, I wouldn’t jump straight to that conclusion but just something to be aware of if you think the hair loss is getting worse or if he starts to develop balding patches. It’s just something I would keep an eye on, given his age.
Thank you. I'll keep that in mind and continue monitoring his hair loss.

A devastating zero model can guide your actions when deficiencies are discovered in projects. This concept may help you recover from new product development problems.
In one of my current projects, I had the impression that everything was satisfactory. The objectives were clear. We had support from the highest levels of management. It seemed that many of the individual contributors were engaged and working in a cohesive and harmonious manner, Then, I learned of one exception. There was a potential problem related to the promotional effort for the product.
In a communication with the project sponsor, I wrote that I had just learned of a potential problem and that I had requested more information.
It was then that I realized the cause of my mistake. An excuse of “not being involved” is inadequate.
When I became aware of the potential problem, my first tendency was to assign blame and demand accountability.
Fortunately, my thoughts shifted to options for recovery.
During my analysis, I discovered that I could improve my understanding of the situation using a mathematical model that I am proposing for new product development.
Typically, mathematical models associated with new product development projects are associated with financial results such as the return on investment (ROI) or total sales or relative growth. These types of analyses predict post-launch results.
Another type of mathematical model can be associated with development. It requires a pre-launch perspective.
Typically, mathematical models associated with new product development projects are associated with financial results such as the return on investment (ROI) or total sales or relative growth. These types of analyses are done post-launch.
The perceptions impact project decisions (such as go / kill / wait), project portfolio decisions, and business development decisions.
Consider the following simplified equations that contain factors A to Z that contribute to the project value.
Examples of factors A to Z may include the contributions from individuals assigned to roles in functional groups such as engineering, testing, marketing, advertising, promotional efforts, and commercialization.
In the first equation, the hypothesis is that the contribution from one set of individuals adds to the value created by other individuals. Efforts are additive.
In the second equation, the same factors exist but the contribution factors are multiplied.
In the first equation, there will be a minor impact on the final value. In the second equation, when the promotional efforts factor has a value of zero, the total value will be zero.
I realized that our project had system-level problems. The feedback regarding the promotional efforts was inadequate because the feedback was delayed. The lack of progress on promotional efforts was not sufficiently transparent.
I was in this situation because we out-sourced promotional efforts. We out-sourced promotional efforts because of precedents from prior projects.
In the next few hours, the seriousness of the problem became clearer. The project sponsor was furious. The sponsor signaled that they were considering termination of the project.
My insight occurred when I compared two of the definitions of product.
An object produced by the efforts of management and individual contributors. Typically, there is a process associated with developing a new product.
In mathematics, a product is the result obtained by multiplying two or more factors.
Suddenly, I realized an alternative meaning of product development. The alternative meaning for product development is based on the second equation.
To improve product development, evaluate the factors that contribute to the project. Some can be improved. When the magnitude associated with one factor approaches zero, the value of the entire project will approach zero. Ensure that none of the factors has a value of zero. I am calling this a devastating zero.
Enhancing resilience is one approach to improve the potential for new product development project success.
Resilience: the ability to adapt so that success can be achieved in cases of expected challenges and unexpected challenges.
Resilience is a desirable quality for any project.
This simplified model predicts that a project can not be successful when one of the factors contributing to value equals zero.
This model builds on what I have previously described as Success Limiting Factors (SLFs). SLFs are items that impede new product development. Some SLFs have a deterministic nature. In some cases, there is a simple cause and effect relationship. In other cases, the interactions are more subtle.
In the extreme case, the project can be terminated because of perceived deficiencies in one factor.
Before launch, all the factors tend to be qualified with words such as forecast, hypothesis, uncertainty, risk, and guess. In this context, perception influences decisions. Perception can be sufficient to terminate the project. Perception can become reality.
I hope that the devastating zero model enables you to expand your product development repertoire. It requires that you enhance your capability to detect problems. You will benefit by expanding the way that you approach problems.
With the appropriate orientation, you will not have to relinquish success. You will be better equipped to hold on to success when a devastating zero is discovered.

Perfect homemade nutella & dora pancakes for kids!
Today we’re going to make homemade Nutella recipe that is even better and healthier than the original. This fun recipe will blow your mind, tastes 1000 times better than the original. You will love this homemade Nutella. Dora pancake with Nutella is one of the healthy fun breakfast for kids. Pancakes can be served with honey on top and some delicious berries but Dora pancakes are different.
Place the hazelnuts on a baking tray and spread them out into a single layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they brown lightly. Remove the tray at the 5-minute mark and give the nuts a toss for evening browning. Let the nuts cool for 10 minutes before proceeding.
Place the hazelnuts on a kitchen or tea towel and rub vigorously with hands or on a smooth surface to help loosen the skin. If some of the skin doesn’t come off, that’s okay. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second increments, stopping the microwave and stirring in between until the chocolate melts. Mine took about 40 seconds.
Add the hazelnuts to a food processor and let the processor run for 2-3 minutes or until smooth, glossy paste forms. Add the vanilla, salt, cocoa powder, melted chocolate, and ⅓ cup powdered sugar for less sweet Nutella at a ½ cup for sweeter Nutella. Let the food processor run for 1 ½ – 2 minutes while you slowly drizzle in the oil through the food processor opening. Keep in mind the Nutella will be runny when you stop the machine but will thicken as it cools.
For the oil, we suggest using a nut/seed oil such as almond, walnut, hazelnut, or sunflower. If you can’t find these, other options are coconut, corn, and vegetable.
Though chocolate chips will work for this recipe.

Caterpillar 24 motor grader has a 24-foot-wide moldboard, designed for mines running trucks with payloads more than 200 tons. Trucks have a modular design to allow components to be removed and installed up to 70 percent faster than in the 24M grader.
Features include optimized weight balance and 15 percent more low-end torque compared to the Cat 24M. These features improve traction and help maintain consistent ground speed, says Caterpillar, especially when carrying a large load on the moldboard, working on grade, or turning under load. Machine weight was increased by 11 percent to provide additional blade down pressure and tractive force, and Consistent Power-to-the-Ground controls engine power levels to offset cooling fan losses.
The grader uses a Cat C27 engine that prolongs target rebuild life by 33 percent over the C18 engine. Net power range is 535 to 694 horsepower. The 21-inch, 6-speed planetary transmission and improved rear axle bevel gear and final drive extend lower powertrain service life by up to 33 percent.

This paper analyses the nonlinear forces on a moored point-absorbing wave energy converter (WEC) in resonance at prototype scale (1:1) and at model scale (1:16). Three simulation types were used: Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS), Euler and the linear radiation-diffraction method (linear). Results show that when the wave steepness is doubled, the response reduction is: (i) 3% due to the nonlinear mooring response and the Froude–Krylov force; (ii) 1–4% due to viscous forces; and (iii) 18–19% due to induced drag and non-linear added mass and radiation forces. The effect of the induced drag is shown to be largely scale-independent. It is caused by local pressure variations due to vortex generation below the body, which reduce the total pressure force on the hull.
Euler simulations are shown to be scale-independent and the scale effects of the WEC are limited by the purely viscous contribution (1–4%) for the two waves studied. We recommend that experimental model scale test campaigns of WECs should be accompanied by RANS simulations, and the analysis complemented by scale-independent Euler simulations to quantify the scale-dependent part of the nonlinear effects.

Winslade Landscapes ⁄ Blog ⁄ Uncategorised ⁄ Happy new year from Winslade Landscapes!
So its a new year and we are well under way, back in full swing where we left off from 2015. We’ve already started the year with lots of driveway, patio and artificial grass enquiries which we are very happy about. We are hoping to continue on from last year and judging by the jobs already booked in and these enquiries it’s looking that way….the only thing we would like to change is just to have a bit more sunshine than last year!
We’re also excited continue to work alongside some our partners from last year, working closely with our good friends Goddards Landscape Contractors and SRD paving.

J.B. Silvers is a professor of health finance at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University and a board member of the Better Health Partnership.
Many observers think that what health care needs most is a big shot of competition pitting the players against each other. Others bank on price transparency and comparison shopping by individual patients spending their own money — although anyone covered by Medicare Advantage or a plan offered on the Obamacare exchanges understands the difficulty of picking among confusing options with varying premiums.
Although marginally helpful, none of these deal with the underlying issues in health care. The big question is how physicians choose what care to recommend and provide and what results from their choices in terms of costs and outcomes. Since, by definition, the doctors know more about medical care than we do as consumers, it is difficult to believe that we can outguess them by selecting care alternatives in a competitive marketplace. We want them to know more and we are willing to pay them for this knowledge. So the real question is how can we change the way physicians practice to advance toward the triple aim of improved quality, better outcomes and reduced per capita cost?
It's not as if physicians don't value these goals. The natural bent of physicians starting with their medical school training is toward collaboration and peer review. Difficult cases call for a consult, and residents rely on oversight from faculty.
But this natural desire to gather all sources of knowledge that might be helpful for each patient is more difficult when salaried physicians work for competing organizations and practices. Referral out of a health system may be discouraged or even prohibited if the patient is insured within a narrow network. But beyond contractual issues, it may be hard for physicians to talk to other physicians across dispersed practice settings as primary care, and even specialty practices, are devolved into neighborhoods rather than located together in a medical center.
In Northeast Ohio, we have a major success story in overcoming these barriers in Better Health Partnership (BHP), a nonprofit established in 2007 with initial funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This successful initiative focuses on a defined population (Cuyahoga and Summit counties), universal commitment of the provider group (over 75% of all primary care physicians and their patients), and an "integrator" (BHP) taking responsibility for improved outcomes.
Better Health starts with electronic medical records (EMRs) provided by each member organization. This lets the staff know what actually happens to the patients in each practice. Building on these, twice yearly public reports provide performance comparisons across all groups, including non-medical factors such as race, insurance type and estimated household income. Then BHP identifies the best practices and organizes follow-on learning collaborative summits where the top performers share how they did it. This "positive deviance" approach avoids blame and encourages all partners to reach for the best. Expert consultation and practice coaching on workflow redesign, care coordination, communication, effective use of EMR data and recognition as a medical home further aid practices in their improvement.
The first target of BHP in 2007 was diabetes care, a chronic condition that has clear makers and bad outcomes if not treated properly. The results there were outstanding with significant improvement in adherence to protocols and measurable outcomes. Other conditions targeted were congestive heart failure and hypertension. Besides clear improvement in each, the large differences in treatments and outcomes across insurers, races, language and income were dramatically narrowed.
The care improvements generated by BHP also have led to substantial reductions in medical costs for our population. Research just published in the peer-reviewed health care journal Health Affairs documents hospitalization rates for the targeted conditions are 22% lower in Cuyahoga than in other large Ohio counties after BHP was implemented. In the first six years of this effort, residents experienced almost 6000 fewer hospitalizations for these conditions than would have been predicted in the absence of the program, with estimated cost savings of nearly $40 million.
While competition among concentrated health systems is here to stay and may even help organize and finance improvements, front-line primary care practices are the key to reducing costs and improving health outcomes. Prevention of unnecessary care, the promotion of health status, and lower overall cost and appropriate utilization and coordination of sophisticated services all start here. And the key to realizing the potential of primary care is sharing best practices and learning from each other. It sounds so simple, but it may not come naturally in a competitive health system unless we consciously work to create a safe place for this necessary collaboration.

A photo of the first on-screen kissing scene of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla (KathNiel) in the movie "Barcelona" has been leaked online.
The image was actually a screenshot from a video allegedly taken inside the cinema.
"Barcelona: A Love Untold" premiered on SM Megamall on Tuesday night, September 13. A day later, the romantic-drama movie helmed by award-winning director Olivia Lamasan opened in cinemas worldwide.
The video of KathNiel's first-ever kiss on the lips was removed by YouTube due to a copyright claim by ABS-CBN, the parent company of Star Cinema. However, a screenshot of the controversial kiss circulated online after being shared by Facebook and Twitter users.
KathNiel's much-awaited kissing scene that finally happened in "Barcelona" was already anticipated by fans following the tandem's admission during their grand media event.
"Ito ang regalo namin sa KathNiels para sa 5 taon na suporta sa amin [It's our gift to KathNiel fans for supporting us for 5 years]," they said.
"Barcelona: A Love Untold" has been dubbed as the loveteam's most mature project ever since their kissing scene only became part of teasers for their movies and teleseryes in the past and never pushed through. The reason, according to the grapevine, was Kathryn's affiliation back then with the Iglesia Ni Cristo.
Kathryn, industry observers said, can portray more mature roles now that she apparently got expelled from the religious group.
Reports said her endorsement of the candidacy of former interior secretary Mar Roxas for the presidency, her alleged wearing of a Santa Claus costume as well as a necklace with a crucifix pendant, and her lips-to-lips kiss with Daniel in the movie served as proof.

These critters are fabulous by nature with their oh so high end materials, but even more so they are awesome works of art and cute to boot.
I’m guessing that perhaps this is due to the influence of Steampunk working it’s way out to the rest of the population, but I have recently noticed that lace up ankle boots much like those of the Victorian era and turn of the century have found there way back into fashion. I, for one, am stoked about this. Great detailing and boots – what’s not to love. A couple of examples of this are Madden Girl’s Devotid Bootie, which is a flat, and the Gwyneth Meg Bootie which has a modern buckle twist and 3.5 inch heel. I’m also loving the BX by Bronx Maron Bootie with it’s slight heel, side buckle and stitch detailing.
Blame it on ‘The Great & Powerful Oz’, which just started filming in Michigan a few weeks back, but I love that I can get all of Frank Baum’s books along with a host of other classics for free on my iPod touch which means no worries about interloaning or late fees while I sate my curiosity on what Baum has to say about the Wizard beyond The Wizard of Oz. Of course, if you’re interested in the Wizard as well and don’t want to download them all seperately, you can get bundled versions like this Kindle edition for $1 or less.
Despite my apparently youthful appearance (I often get asked if I’m a student) I don’t actually do back to school shopping for school, but the sales are great even for those of us not attending this fall. For instance, my printer recently decided that blue was the one and only color worth printing in. With the sales going on for school I was able to get a nice new printer that will print in a full array of colors for 45% off the retail price which is pretty darn awesome.
These would be the beans that I used in yesterday’s black beans & rice recipe. I don’t particularly care for beans in general, but black beans are on my willing to consume list and these not only cook fast but have a great taste too.

While Defoe’s Crusoe was fictional, Alexander Selkirk inspired the tale. In 1703 this Scotsman signed aboard William Dampier’s expedition to capture the Spanish treasure fleet. Obstacles and disagreements haunted the privateers from the start, and climaxed at an island over three hundred miles off the Chilean coast where Selkirk was marooned. He prayed the captain would return. Instead four years passed before another English ship ventured near the island.
This is a historical account of man’s survival on a remote island with only goats and seals for companions and nature and Spaniards for enemies. Yet, it goes far beyond a telling of Selkirk’s life. It is also the island’s story from its creation to the present day. Ms. Souhami also recounts the privateering ventures that led to Selkirk’s marooning and rescue. To complete the story, she relates how reality became fiction and what happened to those who encountered Alexander Selkirk throughout his life.
Well-researched and accompanied by passages from primary documents, the book is a spellbinding historical account that provides glimpses into the times and adventures of a marooned man who’s often lost in the myth created by Daniel Defoe. Winner of the 2001 Whitbread Biography Award.
