Ask a Physicist Answers
Why are the earth and other large celestial objects always spherical? – SP, Mumbai, India
To explain the nearly spherical shapes of celestial objects, we need a little bit of basic physics. Here it is: there is a general law of motion that says that an object always accelerates in the direction that reduces its total potential energy as quickly as possible. In other words, if an object can decrease its potential energy by heading in a particular direction, it will tend to pick up speed in that direction.
This law arises because the forces that cause accelerations are intimately related to the potential energies that are stored in those forces. Thus a ball rolls downhill to reduce its gravitational potential energy, a spring snaps open to reduce its elastic potential energy, and a magnet jumps toward your refrigerator to reduce its magnetic potential energy.
This law of motion has a dramatic effect on celestial objects. Whenever a part of such an object can reduce its gravitational potential energy, it will accelerate in the direction that makes that happen. Thus all the pieces of the celestial object tend to keeps sliding, rolling, bending, or twisting in directions that take them further and further downhill. Eventually, the entire object reaches the compact shape that minimizes its total gravitational potential and that shape is a sphere.
In planets like the earth this approach to spherical isn't quite complete. As the object gets rounder and rounder, it has fewer ways to decrease its gravitational potential energy and other potential energies become more and more important in determining accelerations and shape. For example, elastic potential energies in the earth's crust oppose gravitational potential energy and keep the earth from smoothing out into a perfect ball. That's why we still have mountains and valleys.
But fluid objects such as stars could flow into perfect spheres if it weren't for more subtle issues like thermal energy flow and rotation. Temperature differences keep the parts of any star from sitting still and rotation introduces accelerations that widen a star at its equator. So while a sphere is the ideal goal for any celestial object, there is always something that keeps that goal just out of reach.Answered by Louis A. Bloomfield of the University of Virginia

You will f-cking love this if you haven't seen it already.
And, afterwards, you will want, badly, desperately, more desperately than you've wanted anything for days, to just be around that, in their most unguarded moments. To hang out with George Clooney and Julia Roberts. To listen to George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Because I am telling you right now, they talk A LOT of sh-t. When George Clooney gets going, he will go off – on Ryan Gosling, on Tom Cruise, I've even heard of him going off on Tom Hanks.
This time he goes off on Gwyneth Paltrow. Which just proves that they know it better than you. What? Come on. For all their protesting that they don't read about themselves, that they don't Google themselves, that's actually all they f-cking do. They know exactly what you're saying. And, once in a while, someone like George Clooney, someone as big as George Clooney, will gift you back with a confirmation.
OK but back to George and Julia. Look at that. Now THIS is Hollywood. This is the "magic". It's what we keep looking for.
Thanks Christine!

The US Army confirmed on Thursday that access to The Guardian newspaper's website has been filtered and restricted for its personnel. The policy is due to classified documents described in detail in the stories.
Gordon Van Vleet, spokesman for the Army Network Enterprise Technology Command, or NETCOM, said in an email to the Monterey Herald that the Army is filtering "some access to press coverage and online content about the NSA leaks."
The spokesman said the procedure was routine part of "network hygiene" measures to prevent unauthorized disclosures of sensitive information.
"We make every effort to balance the need to preserve information access with operational security," he wrote, "however there are strict policies and directives in place regarding protecting and handling classified information."
"Until declassified by appropriate officials, classified information – including material released through an unauthorized disclosure – must be treated accordingly by DoD personnel," Van Vleet explained.
In a later phone conversation he clarified that the filtering was "Armywide" rather than restricted to some US Army facilities.
Van Vleet said NETCOM, which is part of the Army Cyber Command, does not determine what sites its personnel can have access to, but "relies on automated filters that restrict access based on content concerns or malware threats."
The Guardian's website has posted classified information regarding the NSA's surveillance activities, including PRISM, the massive domestic spying program that has Internet companies collude with military intelligence to keep tabs on Americans' online habits.
The source of the leaks is Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee and ex-staff member of a private contractor working for the NSA, who disclosed secret documents about US surveillance to several newspapers, including The Guardian.
The Herald inquired about the issue after staff at the Presidio of Monterey, a military installation in California, told the newspaper that they were able to access The Guardian's US site, www.guardiannews.com, but were prevented from accessing articles on the NSA that redirected to the British site.

Red tide kills thousands of fish in Sarasota
SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) -- Officials say red tide is responsible for thousands of dead fish that have washed up along the beaches in Sarasota and Charlotte counties.
The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports the dead fish started washing ashore on Monday. Crews spent Thursday afternoon cleaning the beaches along Blind Pass, Manasota and Englewood Beach.
Sarasota park and recreation director George Tatge calls the red tide outbreak "significant."
He says most of the dead fish are large mullet. Tatge suspects a large school of mullet likely got caught up in a red tide bloom and washed ashore thanks to strong wind from the west.
Officials say the beaches are safe. But people with asthma or chronic respiratory issued should be wary of the red tide conditions.
Red tide can also be dangerous to dogs.

State's highest court rules for lender in foreclosure affidavit case
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court on Friday affirmed a lower court decision in favor of mortgage giant Fannie Mae that removes a legal challenge for borrowers fighting foreclosure.
The state's top court ruled that a so-called "affidavit of sale'' is enough for a lender to prove it has the right to seize a home. The affidavit is used by a lender during the auction process to prove it has complied with foreclosure laws.
Christopher Pitt, president of the Real Estate Bar Association for Massachusetts, said the process has been in place since 1912. A decision against the affidavits could have put the validity of tens of thousands of foreclosures into question, he said.
"This was a positive outcome,'' said Pitt. "It could have been much worse.''
The decision is one of several recent state SJC rulings related to foreclosure practices.
The case was first heard in housing court where a judge ruled in favor of Fannie Mae, which was trying to evict tenant Oliver Hendricks of Roslindale who challenged the seizure claiming the affidavit was "outdated.'' The top court said Hendricks's challenge "offered nothing to show the existence of a genuine issue of material fact.''
Richard Vetstein, a Framingham attorney and author of the Massachusetts Real Estate Law Blog, also applauded the confirmation of the century-old legal practice. He said it will make it harder for borrowers seeking to fight a foreclosure, but there are other areas for them to contest. "The burden shifts to the borrower to bring in evidence,'' he said.

Not the digital fake stuff." When I received the original Email from Roy Torres of Grey Advertising asking me to work for 'exposure' for one of his multimillion dollar clients, I was going to just let it go and chalk it up to another day, another non-paying offer in the life of an artist. We get this kind of nonsense all the time. That doesn't make it right but there isn't much we can do to stop this kind of thinking and behavior from the people that wish to use our very specialized set of skills right? After considering it for a couple of days, I decided that I didn't have to just accept this. No artist should ever! You would never ask a Doctor to give you free treatment for good word of mouth. You would never tell a Coffee shop that in lieu of payment, you're going to tell everyone how great the coffee you just bought is. I decided to reply to Mr. Roy Torres and say pretty much that! Here is his original Email to me (I've removed his client name to protect them for the time being); Hey Travis, My name is Roy Torres and I'm an Associate Creative Director at a respected global ad agency in New York called Grey. I'm personally reaching out to you to see if you would be interested in working on a proactive print campaign for ****. I really love your work and believe you would be perfect for this assignment, the only downfall is that because it is proactive, our budget is very slim to none. The idea and campaign would have the backings of a global agency, who would submit your illustration into multiple awards shows and publications getting you global exposure; and the high chance of winning some awards. If you are interested in the project, please let me know and I'll send you a PDF of the idea. Hope to hear from you. Sincerely, Roy Torres And, my reply; Hey Roy, Thank you for the Email and interest in my work. While I appreciate your offer, I find it difficult to believe that a high-profile and international Ad agency like Grey who is working with a multimillion dollar company like **** has slim to no budget for promotional material and artwork that will be shown globally. I'm sure you wouldn't be willing to work for free yourself, right? You've probably studied and worked hard to get your current position and maybe you even enjoy what you do and that shouldn't mean you don't get paid for the work you do. I'm no different. Thank you once again for the Email and offer, I do appreciate the interest in my work and considering you found me to contact me personally I would say I already have great exposure to my work in this modern age of the internet. Best regards, Travis I wanted to remain polite while also showing him just how rude and ignorant it is to approach an artist in this way. Here is his response to me; If we had money for this, we'd be going after real artists who paint on real canvases. Not the digital fake stuff. And going onto Behance, searching for "Digital Sci-Fi Artist" took about 3 minutes. Not as much exposure as you think. But good luck, I'm sure you're having a blast in Tokyo. It's a brilliant city. Personally, I would say that only 3 minutes of searching before I popped up is great exposure to my work! Seriously though, this response was so unprofessional and disrespectful that I was left dumbfounded. Any Creative Director who would reply to an artist in this way has absolutely no respect for any artist, whether they work digitally or otherwise. Could I just let this go and chalk it up to another day for any artist? Not this time. This time I'm sharing my experience with other artists, warning them to stay away from any offer made by Roy Torres of Grey Advertising and people like him who make similar, hollow offers. People like Roy Torres need to learn to respect artists in this day and age and fear how easy it is for us to give them exposure when they treat us poorly.[/b]_________________http://neechart.blogspot.com/ Back to top TzanmemberMember #Joined: 18 Apr 2003Posts: 755Location: Boston MA Posted: Sat Nov 02, 2013 9:14 am Nice job on staying polite. As an architectural designer I get home owners and contractors telling me how much my work is worth. Quoting prices to me that are 10 to 20 years old. But at least they offer to pay me something. I refuse of course. A large architectural company would never ask me to work for free. But it seems some people think its ok for artists to do free work.

Back to top RanathmemberMember #Joined: 02 Apr 2004Posts: 611Location: Helsinki, Finland Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2013 4:55 am Well, think about what kind of worldwide publicity there possibly can be if no money is involved. If it's a print/TV/etc campaign of any kind, there's going to be huge costs involved anyway, a dime for the artist wouldn't be a problem. If they believe in the idea (not sure what proactive exactly means here), and believe that company **** will like it resulting in a good deal for them, why couldn't they pay you? If Grey is as respected as they say, then surely, they have enough money for that. You're a freelancer right? If it was about buying a 60 sec feature film quality animation from Framestore, I'd understand it better but no money even for a freelance illustrator's salary? And is Grey really going to pitch a campaign to company **** that involves (in their words) mediocre art? What? If you choose to compete on price and work for free, don't expect the clients to choose you for your skill and professionalism in the future. They will never be loyal to you._________________Blog: http://image-feed.blogspot.com Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Sijun Forums Forum Index -> Digital Art Discussion All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1 Jump to: Select a forum Digital Art----------------Digital Art DiscussionWork in ProgressGallery/Finished Work Miscellaneous----------------Random MusingsArchive : Sep99 - Dec00 You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2005 phpBB Group

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Glock Collector's Club' started by feathers73, Nov 11, 2010.
Why are Gen 1's so hard to find or am I missing something?
1st Gen G17s were only made for a few years - and those years had VERY low production numbers compared to today. If I did my math correctly, there were only about 115,000 Glocks (G17, G18 and G19) made to the end of Gen 1 production worldwide.
Attrition - how many guns (not just Glocks) are lost to fire, flood, etc?
Finally, most guys that have older Glocks just keep them. I work in a shop and can tell you that for roughly every 10 used Glocks we get, 9 will have been made in the past 2 years.
A lot of the 1st gen Glocks were issued to Law Enforcement Agencies and were up-graded with new trigger bars, fps, firing pins and extractors. They were used and abused by the Police and eventually ended up on the Surplus Markets, which have long since dried up.
I go to gun shows all the time and when I do see a 1st gen they are almost always in fair condition. A few years ago I found a NIB AA*** Glock 17 for selling for $400. Some old man had it, and I would have bought it but at the time I didn't have any money with me. A like new minty Glock 17 gen 1 can sometimes be found on Gunbroker.com
I happen to own a minty gen 1 that has all it's original components. It has the black serial number plate, all the black guts and does not have the lanyard hole in the grip. I baby this gun and occasionally will take it out of the safe and shoot it at the range.
Does this mean I should hang on to my G17 serial ARM053US.
Does it make it worth more than the $489.00 I paid for it?
No, that's a Gen 2 pistol. Gen 1s were over before they got half-way through the 2-digit alpha prefixes.
The value on your pistol depends on a lot of things, including, where in the country you are, the condition, and if it still has everything with it. In my part of the country, a used Gen-2 G17 is a $400 gun, TOPS (in perfect, near-new shape with all accessories).
Thanks for the reply... I don't intend on selling it or my other 3 glocks. (G17,G18,G26,G27)
So you own a G18, and you're worried about getting a first gen G17???
or was that a typo???
OOPS! ITS A TYPO i HAVE A G19
Unless they are SWAT, etc... or the rare "shooter" police officer, you would be hard pressed to find an well used police gun. Abused? Most of them never come out of the holster. I can't speak to the cleaning aspect of abuse, but our 2nd Gen G22s are rocking fine since '97.
ETA- I have an AH and an AL 1st Gen gun. one was given to me and the other was purchased at a pawn shop about 3 years ago for 300ish.
Both have been upgraded, but I kept the original guts on one of them. The other was done before I got it. I don't baby them, I just have so many Glocks, they never get shot. I think I might get a threaded barrel and suppressor for one of them.
As an aside, I think the first few thousand guns brought in started around the AE AF serial ranges since they were closer to the door when shipping began.
Is there a poster here who has the earliest/oldest Gen 1 Glock 17 on the forum/board and has identified it's provenance and history ?
Someone, somewhere, has "AA000US". There was a thread about the oldest Glock owned by a board member. I think if you use the search function on this forum, you will find it. If not, try searching all of Glock Talk with the search function up near the top of the page.
I picked one up for a tick over $300 and I believe it is a decommissioned DC cop side arm. Serial number is DCxxxUS which is not AA000US but it's pretty old and surely a Gen 1, right?
Are there anything I should check out and maybe replace if I want to breath a little life into it? Anything I should check, change, replace? Fires fine now but I can't hit the side of a barn whereas I can shoot the hell out of my G23 Gen 3.
Is it me or is the Gen 1 a little loosey goosey, to use the technical term. Or maybe I just have not put enough time and ammo through her at the range and she's perfectly accurate as-is.
All the internals are black so maybe it is all original. The only thing I have done so far is replace the 8# NY trigger with a 5.5#, though I want to move to a 3.5# on both this Gen 1 and the G23.
Anyway, sorry to prattle on, but I was happy to find this gem at the gun show.
Gen 1s are very easy to identify with their smooth, pebbled grip including backstrap and frontstrap. IMO, that's more definitive than a serial number, but I suppose a Gen 1 frame could be replaced with a Gen 2, especially if it was a police gun. (Glock would change out the frame for a nominal charge back then.). So, you could have a Gen1 serial numbered gun without the gen1 frame...
If you still have black parts, though, I rather doubt that's the case, since Glock would have changed out those trigger group parts for free when they saw them. If you want to shoot it and changing trigger parts to non-original is on the list of changes, I'd get a trigger parts upgrade kit and sell the old parts here to a collector.
I picked up a G17 slide for $250 from Ed's Public Safety from Georgia, should be made around 1988, matching barrel...
I believe, Lone Wolf refinished the bluing for around $60 ...
I shoot it with my G22 frame, never had a single hickup ...
Here some pix:
And people gripe about Glock's not changing ('til the Gen 4 came about), but look at how cool it is that a Gen 1 slide/barrel fits on a Gen 3 G-22 frame so well that it looks like it was made for it!
That's a nice set up .38Super...
Thanks, actually the whole setup goes like this:
I am not Glock fan by any means, for me all weapons are just tools, this is my understanding, but I also think that everyone should have a Glock, just as everyone should have a AR and AK if you would...
I'm a SA/1911 type guy but I got the Glock to see what is all that hype about. I'm not going to bother you with the findings, bottom line, I would never carry a Glock without polishing some parts and bringing the trigger to some normal level, of course I could be wrong, bit hey - it doesn't work for me as a sum of features the way it is when is in stock configuration...
So I went online, got the G22 from Gunbroker, than Nate from Ed's Public safety was so nice to find the gen1 G17 slide for me and about several month ago I got the .357sig barrel from Glockmeister... I love the setup, I think Glock is most succesful in G17 platform ( and G19 but I do not like compact guns generaly...), G22 is a good service weapon, absolutely love the .357sig but I dont think this round is suitable for home defence or any other defence...imho... So this is how I got in to Glocks, they are good guns...companywise, I cannot support such statement, but again - maybee I'm wrong...
Glockmaister initially sent a wrong, ported barrel, than he sent the right-one, what I've done on the G22 is - polishing whatever needed, installed: tungsten guide rod with 15# spring, Ghost 3.5# connector, Glock night sights (Nate was so kind to do it before they ship the gun, good place to buy Glocks, highly recommended!), I got the Pearce gripp for control, I can go without it, but the important thing for me is to be able to do most of the things w the gun with one hand, so that's why I keep it... I replaced all the pins, the old-ones were too loosed, believe or not... Longer slide stop, aftermarket (wider) slide lock because I cannot feel the stock-one out on the field, dirty, sweaty, especialy with gloves on...same reason for the longer mag release...what else...the beavertail...that's about everything with the G22.
G17 slide fits perfectly, never had any problems with it, nor with the .357barrel setup. I have been ising the G22 mags for .357sig but I had very few, probably 3-4 out of 5-600 rounds, FTF's and found out that I have to get a G31 mags to get a reliable feeding...Not a big deal...Never had problems with the ejector of the G22 frame paired with the G17 slide, the ejectors are are diferent between frames but in my case I got steady ejection, all in one direction, flying out far from the gun.
I cannot thing about anything else...Oh, yeah - I had several non-fired primers, only with russian Tula ammo, green laquer steel shell, that's it.
I'm very happy with the "Glocks" that I got, would I biu a Gen4 - probably yes, if I got a steal-deal, otherwise - not, and I'm a guy that thinks that the new models are generaly better than older-ones, but there are too many things going on with the gen4 to look at one right now, otherwise I would be interested in gen4 compact gun, probably in .40S&W or .45acp...
Here is the fit of that .357sig barrel:
I have a 1988 Gen 1 G17. But I got it from a gun show in Northern VA for only $320. DC was one of the first adopters if the Glock 17 so I guess they're plentiful used. Nice gun and accurate.
Mine is DC395.
I have CZ***. Only a month older than yours.
Cousins, then.

Harvey turns in solid start, but lead slips late
Mets squander advantage in eighth, allow walk-off homer in ninth
SAN DIEGO -- Since May 22, Matt Harvey has produced a 2.67 ERA in 108 innings, striking out 113 batters and walking 17. Those statistics define him as one of the best pitchers in baseball.
But Harvey's personal win-loss record over that span is 4-4. As little as that might matter to today's process-oriented evaluators, it matters to players. So it mattered to the Mets that they could not hang on to give Harvey a victory in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Padres, which Will Venable ended on a walk-off homer in the ninth.
"Is he frustrated? Of course he's frustrated," manager Terry Collins said. "He's a human being."
Harvey's contribution to the game was of his usual quality: six innings, two runs, six strikeouts, zero walks. He would have stuck around longer had a run-scoring opportunity not surfaced in a tie game in the seventh, prompting Collins to replace Harvey with pinch-hitter Andrew Brown.
The move did pay dividends; Brown smashed a double to center to give the Mets a one-run lead. And by limiting Harvey to 86 pitches, Collins now has the option to bring his ace back on regular rest Friday against the Tigers.
But the Padres battled back with a run in the eighth inning off Gonzalez Germen, before Pedro Feliciano escaped a bases-loaded jam with two outs to keep the game tied. Between innings, pitching coach Dan Warthen asked Feliciano if he had "one more batter" in him, eyeing a lefty-lefty matchup for the white-hot Venable.
It wound up being the only batter that mattered. Venable reached below the strike zone to golf a 1-2 slider well out of Petco Park, delivering the Padres a four-game series split.
"I thought I had him 1-2 when I threw a slider," Feliciano said. "But he's pretty hot right now, and he went down and got it out."
Sourness resulted for a group of Mets that seemed in control early, taking a 2-0 lead off Padres starter Eric Stults on Marlon Byrd's RBI double and Wilmer Flores' sacrifice fly. But Harvey cracked for two runs in the fifth on Venable's softly hit infield single, which tipped off the pitcher's glove, and Alexi Amarista's sacrifice fly.
Though Brown's go-ahead double two innings later put Harvey in line for his 10th victory, his afternoon quickly darkened into a no-decision.
"That's been happening quite a bit," Harvey said. "Obviously a start like today, I needed to go out and not give up runs like I did in the fifth inning. If I don't do that -- if I make that play in the fifth and we're up 2-1 -- maybe I'm still in the ballgame. Going seven, eight, nine innings is ideal."
It has been happening more than quite a bit for Harvey, who ranks among the National League's least-supported starting pitchers. The Mets are scoring 3.68 runs per game for Harvey, who holds a 2.42 ERA in his 12 no-decisions. Those statistics have translated into a 13-12 record for the Mets in Harvey's starts.
"He's a guy who wants to win every game," Collins said. "There's not a guy that I've been around that's got better makeup and competes. Of course he's frustrated. But he also knows he has no control over that. He only has control over getting outs, and for the most part he's done his job all year."
Harvey may soon be stripped of his opportunity to do even that, given the innings shackles wrapped around him in his first full big league season. Early Sunday afternoon, Harvey officially surged past the 169 1/3 innings he compiled over two levels last year; the Mets will only allow him to exceed that number by approximately 40.
That translates into five, maybe six more starts for Harvey, who may move up in the rotation to take injured teammate Jenrry Mejia's spot Friday. Five, maybe six opportunities for Harvey to tack some wins onto his ledger. Five, maybe six more chances for the Mets to give their ace some support.
"That's baseball -- we could have gotten this one, but we lost," Feliciano said. "We've just got to go out and be ready for tomorrow."

Anyone who grew up in the 1960s remembers how driving a car used to be. Rough roads, no power steering, shifting with a stick. It could be fun, but you had to be on the ball. And you actually had to know how to drive.
It was exhausting, too. Getting around town would wear you out. Long drives were an endless rumble of tarmac and wind noise. No romance there, just effort and stress.
Consider driving now: Cars are sleek, efficient and quiet. You don't hear a thing outside of your tightly sealed, comfort-controlled bubble. Roads are generally smooth and curves are banked. In cities, lights are better timed and pavement is marked for safety. The cars we drive today are, essentially, luxury golf carts.
Even a terrible driver today can have a pretty good experience on the road most of the time. In fact, it's a little boring. So we distract ourselves with business calls and radio talk shows, some of us with video screens. On long drives, we wind up lulled into a state of drowsy unawareness while cruising at 70 mph or more.
In a way, that's what has become of our approach to saving and retirement. Yes, huge numbers of us don't save enough in the first place. But for those that do, the problem turns into one of highway hypnosis. We barely pay attention.
See if you recognize these poorly understood "road to retirement" dangers:
1. Allocation, what allocation? Your 401(k) is all set up at work. Great, that's a huge step. A pamphlet from the plan manager suggests that you diversify. So you buy a collection of mutual funds that match an age range. Then 15 years go by. Have you looked at it since? Probably not.
Here's the fix: Adjusting your allocation as you get closer to retirement is important stuff. Generally, you want to dial down risk as the years pass but not turn to cash or fixed income too soon. It's not good to obsess about this, of course, but reviewing every five years or so is a good policy.
2. Who put all this cash in my account? Retirement savers sometimes don't realize that dividends paid on stocks they own and bond interest payments show up in their retirement accounts as cash. Too often, it just sits there earning nothing. Likewise, some asset classes zoom up in value, only to deflate later.
Here's the fix: Companies are moving to push their employees into target-date funds by default. Like pension funds of the past, these vehicles rebalance your money automatically. Some target-date vehicles are unusually expensive, however. Look for the ones that use index funds and charge very low management fees, or rebalance your investments yourself when necessary, including reinvested cash.
3. I'm on track…I think… The scariest part of investing is the urge to try to go faster to reach your goal. It's like racing to get to a wedding on time by speeding through traffic and taking chances. You'll get there, sure. Or get run off the road and into a tree.
Here's the fix: Save enough, early enough to make a difference. Six percent is great and 10% is much, much better. If you're halfway down the road to retirement, however, now is no time to stomp on the gas by taking wild bets in the markets. Increase your savings rate, cut expenses and find a balance of safety and growth that will ensure that you arrive alive.

Once again the Church is in the midst of controversies for the sexual abuses committed by the priests. The Vatican created a task force to prevent sinners from being captured and put on trial according to the secular states' laws. You have to control the operations: estabilish a code of silence and hide the scandal until the media attention moves elsewhere!

2560 (MEGA) Motor and Servo Functions
The Arduino MEGA has 12 ports available for PWM generation. These ports can be used control motors and servos to extend the capabilities of your Arduino system. Users can use the "Motors and Sensor Setup" utility (found under the Robot menu) to configure their ports for the various types of motors:
Hardware Timing Servo Ports - Pin 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13.
Hardware Timing PWM (H-Bridge Friendly) Ports - Pin 4, 9 and 10.
|Available Motor Types
|bool bMotorReflected
|(bool) Boolean array with one entry for each motor. Indicates that the direction of a motor should be reflected 180 degrees. Useful when mechanical design results in a logical "reversed" condition of a motor.
|int motor[tMotor motor]
|(int) An array variable with one element for each of the possible motors.
When used with a motor, this command is used to set the speed (-127 to +127) for a motor. Negative values are reverse; positive forward. Zero is stopped.
When used with a servo, this command is used to set the position (-127 to +127) of the servo. Zero is the "center" position of the servo, and -127 to +127 is the range of the servo. Note that your servo may not be able to travel the full -127 to +127 range, so please experiment with smaller values to avoid breaking your servo.

NEW YORK (AFP) - Amid a national debate on how to stop gun massacres in public places, one town in New Jersey began posting armed police at every school on the restart of the academic year Wednesday.
The new policy was the town of Marlboro's response to anguished questions over security in the wake of December's massacre in which a gunman shot 20 young children and six staff dead at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
"The safety and security of our students, staff, and buildings are of utmost importance," the Marlboro education authority said on its website.
"To that end, and in response to the Newtown, CT tragedy, starting Wednesday, January 2, every Marlboro school will have an armed, uniformed Marlboro Township police officer." The measure will be in place for 90 days "while discussions about future security improvements are conducted," the statement added.
Deploying police full time at schools has become common in the United States (US) over the last two decades, according to a study sponsored by the Department of Justice.
"Nearly half of all public schools have assigned police officers," the 2010 study said, and "assigning officers to schools is becoming increasingly popular." But the Newtown shootings on December 14 added urgency to an already heated debate over how to protect schools and other public places.
Gun control advocates say US laws too easily allow criminals and deranged individuals access to powerful weapons. The main gun rights lobby, the National Rifle Association, says that the best way forward is to arm teachers - a strategy that has found favor in some western states, including Utah.
Reactions to Marlboro's initiative were mixed on the schools' Facebook page.
"I think this is a wonderful idea and every school should do it. I applaud Marlboro township for doing it!" one contributor said.
But another dismissed the idea, noting that several other major massacres over the years, including at schools, took place despite the presence of armed guards.
"This merely appeases parents, providing them with a false sense of security while doing nothing to address the real issues," she said.

Super Bowl notes from Jan. 30.
The only former No. 1 overall draft pick who will play Sunday is Eli Manning. Tim Couch made it to Super Bowl XLII in spirit, anyway. Couch, Cleveland's ill-fated No. 1 overall pick of the 1999 draft, was Jared Lorenzen's hero. Lorenzen is a backup Giants quarterback. That's a story. Couch, one of the most storied players in Kentucky Wildcats history, is out of football. Lorenzen, once known as the fat guy who followed Couch, is in a Super Bowl. "It's funny the way stuff works out,'' Lorenzen said. "Tim really opened up the whole offense for me. He taught me how to be a quarterback in the SEC." Lorenzen didn't start at Kentucky until 2000, but he leaned heavily on Couch in the latter's final college season, 1998. "Tim is still a legend," Lorenzen said. "He's still somebody I really look up to. He can flat-out play." Yes, Lorenzen put that in the present tense, even though Couch last took an NFL snap on Dec. 29, 2003, at Cincinnati. Ironically, Lorenzen's position coach, Chris Palmer, was Couch's head coach his first two years in Cleveland. "Chris is awesome," Lorenzen said. "He has a different way of teaching that is effective. He keeps the mood light." Lorenzen, who has matured and slimmed down, is good-natured about his former weight problem. Asked what his current weigh-in is compared to his college days, he smiled and said, "Less." Lorenzen has a rocket arm and good mobility ‹ he could move even when his belly hung over his pants. "Obviously, I want to start somewhere, some day in this league," he said. "I'm still young." He's 26, four years younger than Couch. They Really Like Me In 2006, most of the Giants wanted to send crusty coach Tom Coughlin to Siberia. Recently, they showed him some love when they won in Siberia. That is, they rallied around him after the NFC title game in bitter-cold Green Bay with warm hugs and handshakes. As he prepares for the Super Bowl, Coughlin smiles about not being subjected to a Gatorade shower. "That would have been one I would have stepped back and questioned," Coughlin said. "I would have thought, ŒWhat angle are they coming from on that one?" A Lack of Belief In September, the Giants were 0-2, and The Big Apple was saying rotten things about them. "Everybody was calling for our heads," defensive end Osi Umeyiroa said. "They said Coughlin should be fired. Strahan's too old. I'm a one-year wonder. "All of a sudden, we turned it around." Yet they finished with a modest record of 10-6, the same record as the Browns, who didn't even reach the playoffs. Now they're being told they're no more than chum for the sharks from the Boston Harbor. "We're not animals," Umenyiora said. "We watch TV. We hear what is said about us. After a while, you develop an attitude." 'Flats' Adds Fizz Giants center Shaun O'Hara, who started for the Browns on their 2002 playoff team, said line coach Pat "Flats" Flaherty has been important in the Super Bowl run. "He sets the mood in the O-line room," O'Hara said. "I've been in other O-line rooms where guys are real stiff and it's all business. Sometimes coaches have a hard time letting players enjoy their work. "Flats lets us enjoy working hard." This is the second straight Giants Super Bowl in which a former Browns starting lineman has started for New York. Lomas Brown did the honors in 2000. Gone with the Patriots The Bill Belichick mystique doesn't necessarily dissolve after a guy has played for him. "We don't really converse much," receiver Randy Moss said of the Patriots' coach. "He just doesn't seem to have a lot of time to talk. "He's definitely a friendly person, (but) it's always football." How does Belichick kick back? For example, what's his cup of cocoa in terms of TV shows and movies? "I don't watch a lot of television," he said. "'Planet Earth.' 'Gone With the Wind.' I like 'The Bourne Identity.'" Maybe Matt Damon will play a young Bill in "Belichick, the Movie." Veteran Patriot Larry Izzo said, "Down the road, being able to say you played for Bill Belichick will be like saying you played for Vince Lombardi." The Boss Loves Him Patriots Owner Robert Kraft has a hard time throwing Bill Belichick under the bus over "Spygate." "I'm not sure all the facts are out on that," Kraft says as the punch line to his long answer. Yet the NFL saw fit to dock New England a first-round pick. Who is Kraft to debunk a coach who has him in another Super Bowl? The owner thought back to hiring Belichick in 2000. "A lot of people thought I was making an error based on how he dealt with the media, and they sent me tapes of his experiences in Cleveland," Kraft said. It wasn't just that -- Belichick had only one winning year in his five Cleveland seasons. But Kraft went on: "In the end, I am into substance. I am not into lipstick." Kraft's most substantial argument for Belichick: "He understood value and players and how they fit under the salary cap." To be a QB Tom Coughlin has a natural chemistry with Eli Manning in that neither wears his feelings on his sleeve. "Although Eli masks a lot of his emotions and feelings," Coughlin said, "they're there. He's as competitive as anybody I've ever been around." Randy Moss says his quarterback, Tom Brady, is more than competitive. "He's not just the best quarterback I've ever played with," Moss said. "He's the best quarterback ever put into this league." Extra Points - Veteran Giants sack artist Michael Strahan says Super Bowl craziness is nothing to a New Yorker: "This is like walking down Broadway," he said. "Where is the naked cowboy? Is he out there strumming some guitar in tighty-whitie shorts?" - Strahan looked out over one media mob and took a jab at New York writers. "At least they let some nice people into this group." - Giants punter Jeff Feagles can't get the lyrics to "Won't Back Down" out of his head. He's a huge fan of Tom Petty, who will play Sunday's halftime show. "I'll be sneaking back onto the field a little early at halftime," he said.

By RICH FOLEY
It's hard to believe that 12 years have passed since I first started filling an available space on Page 2. This week's effort is milestone column number 300 in the series. Can it really have been that long?
Heck, in March of 2000, Bill Clinton was president, I was living in Blissfield and my transportation came in the form of a rapidly failing 1983 Chevy Malibu. Since then, we've had two more presidents, I've owned four more automobiles including my recent purchase of a 2006 Buick and since late 2004, I've been living in Fayette.
One thing hasn't changed, though, at least not yet. I'm still utilizing the same computer that I used to write column number one back in 2000. If Apple needs to talk to someone who still uses a Macintosh IIsi on a regular basis, I may be their only option. And if anyone needs some unused floppy disks, talk to me.
All those years ago, my first regular column was about Red Devil energy drink. I still have an unopened can sitting near the computer if someone out there is feeling adventurous.
Shortly thereafter, I wrote about what I called the Miracle Box of Donuts. At the time, the box and remaining donuts had already hung out at the Observer office for nearly six months after I brought them to work. This December, they will be turning 13 years old. I should probably throw them a party-and serve slightly fresher refreshments.
The donuts weren't the only odd subject over the years. There was the time the long-dead L. Ron Hubbard, father of Scientology, sent me a fax. I'm still wondering how he pulled that feat off.
Or the case of the talking carp. Back in 2003, a carp about to be butchered in a New York kosher fish market began speaking in Hebrew, warning about the end of the world. One employee cut his thumb during the excitement. While the owner took the injured worker to the hospital, another employee who didn't understand Hebrew butchered the fish.
I'm still waiting for that $2.8 million dollars that James Doohan, better known as engineer Scotty on "Star Trek," supposedly left me in his will. It has to be the most creative email scam I've ever received.
I'm also still waiting for that free 20 ounce Dr. Pepper the soda manufacturer promised everyone in the country if Axl Rose released the long-delayed "Chinese Democracy" CD in 2008. The CD was released, I filled out the form on the Doctor's website, but I'm still thirsty.
Unfortunately, singer Greg Kihn hasn't released any albums lately, so he still hasn't used any of the suggested album titles I came up with back in 2005. I did learn there are more bad puns to be made with the name "Kihn" than you might think. After a while, the subject gets to be Kihnfusing.
In 2007, I wrote about Cheesy Onion Dip flavor Pringles, which got my attention with an ingredient list containing tilapia, Nile perch and fish gelatin, three things not often found in snack chips, at least ones I would ordinarily eat.
I stumped the phone bank operator at Procter & Gamble, who had to call me back two weeks later with an explanation as to why the product contained fish. Not only is the flavor no longer made, P & G recently sold the brand to Kellogg. I wonder if Tony the Tiger will now be doing their ads?
More recently, I wrote about envying Scott Hume, who operates the BurgerBusiness internet blog. He's definitely the expert on burger restaurants, both here and abroad. I recently emailed him with a thought regarding his posting on McDonald's upcoming Extra Value Menu and received an reply from him personally within ten minutes. That was pretty impressive. Or maybe he's just lonely.
While reviewing past columns, It dawned on me that it's been a while since I made a road trip. Back when my Aunt Sue was still alive, I looked forward to my yearly trip to St. Louis to help celebrate her birthday. Each year, I just missed rock legend Chuck Berry's monthly appearance at a club near her home. I'll have to find somewhere interesting to go in 2012.
As always, thanks to all the column subjects who have passed on, and to those still with us, making this the place for the obligatory Meat Loaf reference (Meat Loaf's new CD, "Hell in a Handbasket," is now in stores). If the Mayans turn out to be wrong about the end of the world, let's meet back here in 2016 for column 400.

So feel free to add your favorite poets and poems to this link.
These days I'm really enjoying Mary Oliver's poems: Here is a link: http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ ... ary_Oliver
Here are two lovely ones:
"The Journey
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life you could save."
― Mary Oliver
"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
call to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things."
― Mary Oliver

text: Back Types of Anesthesia What is anesthesia? During surgery, your child will be given some form of anesthesia--medication administered for the relief of pain and sensation during surgery. The type and dosage of anesthesia is administered by the anesthesiologist. When your child is scheduled for surgery, you and your child will meet with the anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist before the procedure. The anesthesiologist will review your child's medical condition and history to plan the appropriate anesthetic for surgery. What are the different types of anesthesia? There are various forms of anesthesia. The type of anesthesia your child will receive will depend on the type of surgery and your child's medical condition. Usually, an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist will administer a sedative to make your child sleepy, in addition to the anesthetic. The different types of anesthesia include the following: Local anesthesia--Local anesthesia is an anesthetic agent given to temporarily stop the sense of pain in a particular area of the body. A patient remains conscious during a local anesthetic. For minor surgery, a local anesthetic can be administered via injection to the site. However, when a large area needs to be numbed, or if a local anesthetic injection will not penetrate deep enough, physicians or nurse anesthetists may use regional anesthetics. Regional anesthesia--Regional anesthesia is used to numb only the portion of the body which will receive the surgical procedure. Usually an injection of local anesthetic is given in the area of nerves that provide feeling to that part of the body. There are several forms of regional anesthetics, two of which are described below: Spinal anesthetic--A spinal anesthetic is used for lower abdominal, pelvic, rectal, or lower extremity surgery. This type of anesthetic involves injecting a single dose of the anesthetic medication into the subarachnoid space, which surrounds the spinal cord. The injection is made into the lower back, below the end of the spinal cord, and causes numbness in the lower body. In some situations, such as a prolonged procedure, continuous spinal anesthesia may be used. A thin catheter (hollow tube) is left in place in the subarachnoid space for additional injections of the anesthetic agent, which ensures numbness during the length of the procedure. Epidural anesthetic--The epidural anesthetic is similar to a spinal anesthetic and is commonly used for surgery of the lower limbs and during labor and childbirth. This type of anesthesia involves continually infusing an anesthetic medication through a thin catheter (hollow tube). The catheter is placed into the space that surrounds the spinal cord in the lower back (just outside the subarachnoid space), causing numbness in the lower body. Epidural anesthesia may also be used for chest surgical procedures. In this case, the anesthetic medication is injected at a higher location in the back to numb the chest and abdominal areas. General anesthesia--General anesthesia is an anesthetic used to induce unconsciousness during surgery. The medication is either inhaled through a breathing mask or tube, or administered through an intravenous line (a thin plastic tube inserted into a vein, usually in the patient's forearm). A breathing tube may be inserted into the windpipe to maintain proper breathing during surgery. Once the surgery is complete, the anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist ceases the anesthetic and the patient wakes up in the recovery room. Once the surgery is complete, the anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist stops the anesthetic, the medication wears off, and the patient gradually wakes up in the operating room. Complete recovery from anesthesia continues in the recovery room. Expect your child to be sleepy and to doze off often. Some children become very excited and confused when awakening from anesthesia. This reaction can be disturbing, but usually lasts only a brief time.

Baby sign language — when babies use modified gestures from American Sign Language — can be an effective communication tool. Teaching and practicing baby sign language also can be fun and give you and your child an opportunity to bond.
Limited research suggests that baby sign language might give a typically developing child a way to communicate several months earlier than those who only use vocal communication. This might help ease frustration between ages 8 months and 2 years — when children begin to know what they want, need and feel but don't necessarily have the verbal skills to express themselves. Children who have developmental delays might benefit, too. Further research is needed, however, to determine if baby sign language promotes advanced language, literacy or cognition.
To begin teaching your child baby sign language, familiarize yourself with signs through books, websites or other sources. To get the most out of your baby sign language experience, keep these tips in mind:
Keep in mind that, as you teach baby sign language, it's important to continue talking to your child. Spoken communication is an important part of your child's speech development.

If this is true then it looks like supaEZ is the clear winner in the LW showdown from what I could see of all the videos at cocoa beach.SupaEZ wrote:
It was a competition between kiters and their best LW kites..and their favorite NARROW boards
I was under the impression that the cocoa beach thing was a demo of the V3 but that was apparently not the case.
Could supaEZ have done as well as he did on the V3 ? all other things being equal ? I guess we'll never know.
The LW videos of Dimitry using the V3 on the sup in 2-4kts is likely not accurate IMO.. it's probably more like 4-6kts where the kite is flying... still pretty good. The cocoa beach videos show the bottom end of the V3 somewhere around 9kts for a 185lb man? not sure on that but clearly not moving very well in 7kts. The 19m core was clearly planing and staying up wind in the 7kts.
So from a point of view of bringing your best LW gear and see who wins... supaEZ wins IMO... and it pains me to admit that

That didn't work. Do you think Perl with help?
Perl is a high level computer language, not an application program. So no.
You need to go back to the camera or flash card:
Perl scrips and grauonline didn't work for me, i have tried.
Is it possible to make a new header, and would that help? Could a recovery service help me?
There's nothing in your file except zeros. It's like providing a VHS cassette with no tape inside and asking if the video can be recovered.
What you need to do is generate a disk image from your GoPro card, and then scan it with a video recovery tool.
The disk image will be very big (roughly same as your card capacity) and will contain all information present on your card.
If you don't find your footage in the disk image, it's that it hasn't been recorded or has been overwritten.
Instructions to create disk image:
If you are on Mac, you can use Treasured's DeepMediaScan that integrates disk scanning, diagnostics and recovery:
-- Benoît
I have now downloaded and extracted the "dd for windows". But when going to CMD (in adminstartor mode) i typing "dd --list" (without ") i get the message that it is a wrong command.
You may have gotten the spaces wrong. Open it's user guide in a separate window and try copying and pasting the commands into the terminal window.
I have now succeded in creating a image of the card. The .iso file is about 32gb like the capacity of the memory card. But what can i now do with the .iso file?
either open it with a program like winrar. Or mount it to a virrtual drive: e.g. virtual clonedrive or poweriso (first is the best as image drive, second better for more functions)
Sorry, the filetype is not .iso, but .img
What do I do with the .img file?
Now if everything went fine, you should have a .img with a size similar to the disk capacity.
If the disk still contains footage, the footage must now be inside this file also, and we can do a diagnostic of the file and hopefully, repair it.
The .img file can now be used to create an extract that will be uploaded to Aero Quartet. This is explained in the Windows page.
They will recover the files inside it. So I don't think you have to mount the .img actually
But I never used this method to recover. I always used software that recovered the files directly to your hard-drive, but I'm not sure it will work with big files. I hope it will work out well.

Pet-Safe New Year's Eve Party Tips
Tips For a Pet-Safe New Year's Eve Party!
If you're throwing (or attending) a New Year's Eve bash with a furry friend, beware of the dangers of those festive decorations! Even if you are taking a snap of your pet wearing a party hat (like this fella), take it off immediately afterwards. Not only is it dangerous if he decides to munch on the plastic, but the elastic string can choke your pal or lodge in his throat if he decides to eat his entire costume. Here are a couple of other pet party fouls to take into consideration while ringing in the new year.
- Noisemakers: Most pets aren't super excited about loud noises, so ask partygoers to get loud with poppers and horns outdoors, or find a nice and quiet spot in your home to house your pet. If you're creating a cozy area just for your pet, make sure she has fresh water, food, and access to the litter box if she's a kitty. If you're keeping your pup in a closed-door room during festivities, make sure to take time away from the bash to give him love and for walks as needed.
- Confetti: Just like tree tinsel is dangerous, metallic confetti and other small bits of paper can cluster in a pet's throat or tummy. Be on the safe side, and opt for toasting drinks instead of tossing confetti at midnight.
- Hanging Decorations: Streamers and balloons can get stuck in a furry friend's intestinal tract, so keep them up high, and don't leave an animal unsupervised in a room with balloons. Once you hear a balloon pop, make sure to pick up the busted balloon, which may attract curious kitties.
- Alcohol: We know no responsible animal owner would offer this substance to a pet, but parties can result in spills or unattended cups that pets may try to lick. Make sure this liquid (and any poisonous foods like chocolate) is way out of the reach of your pet's nose and tongue.
Happy New Year!

Giving asthma medicine should be a positive time for you and your child. Using a mask with MDI and spacer is recommended for effective delivery of medicine into your child's lung. Follow the directions from your child's therapist, nurse or doctor closely. Below are the step by step instructions on correct use of metered dose inhaler with a spacer and mask:
Rinse the spacer and mask as needed with warm, running water. Clean them once a week with warm water and soap. Allow the spacer and mask to air dry between uses.
Do not clean or dry the inside of the spacer with a cloth or fabric. This can create an electric charge on the inside of the spacer.Which will decrease the amount of medicine that goes to your child's lungs.
Once a week, rinse the mouthpiece (boot) that holds the canister with warm running water. Do not soak it. When placing the canister back into the dried boot, prime it with 1 puff.
See the manufacturer's instructions for more information.
