  Ever since its inception in the early 1990s, Sid Meier’s critically acclaimed Civilization series has challenged players to "build an empire to stand the test of time.

We’ve also, of course, heard the human side to these closings: 12,000 full- and part-timers are losing their jobs [...]

 Signed With Love, A Dead Civilization By Rook Hawkins   Thomas Cahill wrote that “the Historian’s principal task should be to raise the dead to life.”[1]  Cahill is certainly right.  Often times in antiquity, ancient historians would take this statement too literally, raising their protagonist from the dead using all sorts of miraculous and fictional motif

The Oregon Hotel - it's old, rickety and delightful - and in the geographic center of Oregon, in the smallish town of Mitchell. Weather has me holed up here - snowstorms east, rain west - a good night's sleep eludes me.

John Derbyshire of National Review wrote this column on Expelled which is highly critical of the creationist/intelligent design movement.

Well, I am back from spending 5 days in civilization (the city). I have to tell you that it was nice to be somewhere where people know how to merge into coming traffic so you don't have to either move over, slam on the brakes as they creep in front of you, or speed up to avoid hitting them. I also enjoyed having many options for shopping and food within a few minutes in every direction. I am not sure why every store had clothes that were either black or brown or some combination of colors that included one of those, but at least I could go to twenty stores in a couple of hours to see that trend. I also was enlivened by the cultural diversity. One day while having lunch, within my earshot was a young woman and someone who looked like her grandmother. They looked like they were shopping at u

Landforms and water ways also affected the political relationships of the world’s ancient peoples. For example the rugged landscape of city-states instead of uniting them in to a single nation.. Further more closeness to the sea caused true and sense of civic pride to other parts of the Mediterranean world.

BackgroundIt is the general assumption that Srivijaya was an powerful maritime kingdom that played an important role in the political forum in early Southeast Asia for many centuries, from 7th century to the end of 13th century AD. Just as its sudden appearance not very much is known of its decline, for that matter, the extent of this hegemony especially in Insular Southeast Asia during the height of its power. It influenced many social aspects in the region at that time, such as history of political life, beliefs, culture and economy.The remains of Srivijaya civilization, tangible or intangible are still found up to now in many sites in South East Asia countries. The researched about Sriwijaya is being conducted in each country until nowadays, and it was come out with a long term polemic

Here is a talk by Jared Diamond in which he examines factors that caused great civilizations of the past to collapse. Here is a documentary based on Jared Diamond's work which exposes fundamental forces that have shaped human history: Guns, Germs and Steel. What’s Your Consumption Factor? an article by Diamond in the New York Times.clipped from www.nytimes.comIf India as well as China were to catch up, world consumption rates would triple. If the whole developing world were suddenly to catch up, world rates would increase elevenfold. It would be as if the world population ballooned to 72 billion people (retaining present consumption rates). Some optimists claim that we could support a world with nine billion people. But I haven’t met anyone crazy enough to claim that we could suppo

The Olmec heartland is an area on the south coast of the Gulf of Mexico coastal plain of southern Veracruz and Tabasco, is thus called because of the concentration of a large number of Olmec monuments as well as the greatest Olmec sites.The area is about 125 miles long and 50 miles wide (200 by 80 km), with the Coatzalcoalcos River system running through the middle.These sites include San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán, Laguna de los Cerros, Tres Zapotes, and La Venta is one of the greatest of the Olmec sites.La Venta is dated to between 1200 BCE through 400 BCE which places the major development of the city in the Middle Formative Period.Located on an island in a coastal swamp overlooking the then-active Río Palma river, the city of La Venta probably controlled a region between the Mezcalapa and Coatzacoalcos rivers.The site itself is about 18 miles inland with the island consisting of slightly more than 2 square miles of dry land.The main part of the site is a complex of clay constructions s

Varna Chalcolithic Necropolis The Varna Chalcolithic Necropolis which experts qualify as "the world's oldest gold" and a trace of "Europe's most ancient civilization" was a sensational discovery. It is situated about 500m to the north of Lake Varna and about 4 km to the west of the downtown. In 294 graves were discovered more than 3000 golden objects dating back 6000 years. In Hall 6 of Varna Museum of History is exhibited the whole inventory from some of the most significant graves. On both sides of the entrance are represented the graves with masks of human faces shaped out on spot and appliquéd with gold plates. The rich variety of funeral utensils going along with the dead is best illustrated by two of the symbolic graves / No 4 and No 36/. In grave No 4 have been found two unique vessels where the typical for the time decoration of strongly stylized geometrical symbols is fulfilled in golden paint. Read More

Important discussion at FrontPage between Jamie Glazov and Robert Spencer prompted by the publication of Spencer’s latest book, Religion of Peace?: Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn’t. This especially jumped out at me (emphasis added): “There is a logic to why leftist intellectuals support societies that butcher intellectuals, why leftist feminists support societies that mutilate women and why leftist homosexuals and minorities worship societies that barbarize homosexuals and minorities. It’s a death wish based on self-loathing. But perhaps this deeper discussion between us belongs in another forum.” I find myself unable to disagree with that statement from Jamie Glazov. The corruption and self-deprecation that overwhelms the majority of the Left brings with it the mentality of lemmings and sycophants that secretly wish to give everything over to the ‘enlightened barbarians’ simply because they are not Western in origin. It is an inescapable t

“Ours is not so much an age of vulgarity as of vulgarization; everything is tampered with or touched up, or adulterated or watered down, in an effort to make it palatable, in an effort to make it pay.” Louis Kronenberger (1904 – 80) U.S. author and critic

Bertrand Russell, in hisWisdom of the West, put forward a simple thesis. Western Civilization is essentially Greek civilization.There is no civilization but the Greek in which a philosophic movement goeshand in hand with a scientific tradition. It is this that gives the Greek enterprise its peculiar scope; it is this dual tradition that hasshaped the civilization of the west.--Bertrand Russell, Wisdom of the WestIn support of his thesis, Russell points to the authoritarian,theocratic natures of earlier civilizations --Egypt and Babylonia.Religion, Russell stated, seems inconsistent with the Greek spirit offree inquiry typified most famously by Socrates and the Platonictradition that followed. It is because Greek civilization was primarilysecular, Russell believed, that the spirit of "free inquiry" took rootin the west. This spirit, he believed, was incompatible with bothauthoritarianism and religion itself.A Renaissance of Western Civilization was associated with the pre-eminence of Lo

As I have stated before, I have been a big Civ fan, but the release of Civilization IV was marred by bugs which really stopped the game from being all it could be. Fast forward 18 months, and this game has now seen extensive patching and two expansion packs. If you had asked me a week ago what my opinion of Civilization 4 and it’s Warlords expansion pack was, I would not have been able to say a bad thing about it. The original game is fantastic, and the expansion only built on it in positive ways. Warlords effectively raised the bar in the Civ4 experience, but didn’t really change enough for me to be bothered making a review. Beyond the Sword, however, has not just raised the bar. It has put the bar on a rocket and launched the damn thing in to orbit. Initial Impressions Let me start by saying that unless you love scenarios, which I don’t, then there is no longer any reason to buy the Warlords expansion pack. Beyond the Sword contains all the other changes - new civ

Author: Jack Zipes Paperback: 254 pagesPublisher: Routledge; 2 edition (April 13, 2006)Language: EnglishISBN: 0415976693(R)The fairy tale may be one of the most important cultural and social influences on children's lives. But until Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children's lives -- their behavior, values, and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. Zip Password: T0sT@rN@

We live in a subdivision with trees behind us, but it's still in the city. Which is why I'm always amazed when we have visitors like this in our backyard:(Can you see the head peeking up behind the fence?) She didn't seem to be too bothered by me looking out the window and taking her picture. Guess she has acclimated to having humans for neighbors. I first saw just a bit of her ears out of the corner of my eye, and wondered who was sneaking around behind our fence. Never expected it to be a deer!Cordy is still sick, and after her fever returned with a vengeance on Thursday night, we took her to the doctor on Friday morning. As expected, she freaked out at the doctor's office, refusing to do anything other than scream and fight. When checking out, the receptionist asked the doctor what the diagnosis was, and he quickly replied, "An extreme case of anger."The real diagnosis? She somehow picked up a respiratory infection AND a stubborn stomach bug at the same time. It's no wonder she

Well well well, we didn’t have to wait until E3 to see some media from the newly announced Civilization game after all. 2K Games has released the first “Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution” trailer. Unfortunately there’s no in-game footage in there but it’s worth the watch anyway.

2K Games announced today that Sid Meier has been keeping busy by designing and building a new Civilization game from the ground up for next-gen consoles and handhelds - “Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution” to be exact. This would be the first next generation game designed by Meier. Civilization Revolution is being developed by Firaxis Games, where Meier is the Director of Creative Development, and is currently slated for a spring 2008 release. Sid Meier: “Civilization Revolution is the game I’ve always wanted to make! We are excited to take advantage of the power of next generation consoles and the ingenuity of handhelds, to create a great and unique strategy game for newcomers to the series, as well as the millions of fans around the world who enjoy Civilization on the PC.” Hopefully we’ll get to see some media rolling out during E3 in July.

2K Games announced that Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword, the latest expansion pack for the Civilization IV series, is set for release for PC on July 24th in America and July 27th in Europe, retailing for $29.99 / €19.99 / £16.99. It will require the full version of Sid Meier’s Civilization IV to play. Developed for the PC by the company’s development studio Firaxis Games, Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword adds the largest amount of expansion content in the history of the Civilization franchise.

A renewed interested in Atlantis has researchers once again looking to Plato’s writings for clues to this mystery. Dennis Brooks, author of Atlantis Conspiracy will tell you his belief is that Atlantis did not disappear into the sea. Not only did it not sink, but Atlantis Was a Real Place, the Americas.Part of his theory stems from Plato’s writings, and Mr. Brook's belief that you can see the statement about Atlantis sinking was injected into the story in an attempt to explain what happened to Atlantis following a huge flood (tsunami) that struck the shores of Europe and destroyed most of the soldiers in the army of Atlantis while they were at war with Athens.He has a website, that I admit is intriguing and comes up with some excellent theories. I also like that there is a discussion forum available for those of you that like to debate and brainstorm the possibility that Atlantis does, indeed still exist in modern day form and never sunk as was previously thought.Press ReleaseAt

I found some more cool pictures on the Tall One's hard drive. These are cockatoos in a place called Middle Harbor, which is a part of Sydney. They fly around as they please, and they like to eat fruit from the trees and look for seeds on the ground. They are wild, but so used to people that the Tall One could get really close to take their picture.

The music documentaries from the 80s by Penelope Spheeris might finally make it to DVD. If you’re an older music geek like me, you are familiar with Penelope Spheeris‘ two documentaries of music scenes in Los Angeles. The first, The Decline of Western Civilization, was filmed in 1980 and featured the LA punk rock scene, which at the time was hardcore, nihilistic, and agressive. Bands in that movie were Fear, The Circle Jerks, X, The Germs, and the pre-Henry Rollins Black Flag. The second movie was The Decline of Western Civilization II - The Metal Years, filmed in the late 80s around the Sunset Strip. It featured great interviews from a lot of metal’s leading lights of the time, and featured performances by Megadeth, Faster Pussycat, and other bands that soon died quiet, ignominious deaths. [Editor’s Note: Metalheads will remember the scene by the pool with a very drunken Chris Holmes, W.A.S.P. guitarist, being interview with his mother.] However, due to righ

I tend to withhold judgment upon those now being held in captivity by the Tehrorrists in Tehran. Not being in their shoes I cannot imagine what it must be like, whether indeed they are being treated coercively or not; theirs is not a place I would like to be. My argument is more in line with ‘what on earth the British government thinks it is doing by prolonging the time that the 15 in detention must remain so.’ Rather than being a bit more aggressive and this does not mean start shooting, but at the least start jumping up and down and thumping whilst frothing at the mouth. John Derbyshire (archive from New English Review and from NRO) has written in the “New English Review” a piece that would anger some, amuse others and if you will allow make some ponder. I do not believe it is written in defense of something or offense, but it does to use his words hark back to something simpler: “The great genius of the English-speaking peoples was in holding the two sets of id

Today we have a post by Peace Tree Contributing author Bill Epler. Samo, Samo: Civilization vs. the Barbarians We've been down this road many times before my friends, my "civilized" friends, so we shouldn't be surprised that early 3rd millennia barbarians are raping Mother Nature, babbling about Armageddon, trashing national/international laws, and trying to plunder what's left of the wealth of the planet. Before they wore two horned helmets and animal furs; later they slapped riding crops against black booted Nazi and Stalinist legs. Now they make fools out of religious extremists (that's called shooting fish in a barrel) and engineer the American military into oil wars for corporate billionaires, e.g., Texas energy companies and Cheney/Halliburton. The Fall of Rome has many lessons for us, such as the civilization-killing consequences of boundless greed. Rome too had its greed vampires and they bled the Empire into defenselessness.

The apocalypse is at hand, at least according to the World Socialist Web Site. Apparently, after the United Auto Workers (UAW) ratify their contract with Chrysler, Cerberus "will accelerate their plans to carve up the number three US automaker by shutting down or selling off dozens of factories." Fair enough (or not). The Socialists go on to prognosticate that the "Chrysler deal condemns the next generation of auto workers to near poverty" and "workers will face a campaign of harassment by management, which is eager to replace higher-paid veteran workers with low-paid new hires." And just when you think things couldn't get any worse, "with wages frozen and Cost-of-Living Adjustments diverted, workers will be ravaged by higher housing, food, fuel, education and health-care costs." Then they equate the "economic destitution" this will cause with the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. They didn't predict human sacrifice, dogs and cats
