Happy birthday, Luis Aparicio
By Samantha Carr and Craig Muder
Few players can say they changed the way baseball is played. Before Luis Aparicio revitalized the running game 50 years ago, the stolen base was on its way to becoming an archaic footnote.
Aparicio, who turns 75 Wednesday, turned the baseball world upside down in 1959 by stealing 56 bases for the Chicago White Sox. Only one other American League team — the Detroit Tigers with 68 — had as many steals as Aparicio that year. The Sox shortstop finished second in the AL Most Valuable Player voting that year, leading Chicago to the AL pennant.
Aparicio had led the AL in steals in each of his first three seasons before 1959 and went on to lead the league every season through 1964. That year, with a career-high 57 steals for the Orioles, Aparicio swiped more bags than six other AL teams.
But baseball was catching up to Aparicio — especially in the National League, where Maury Wills and the Dodgers were building an offense around speed. By 1969, when Aparicio topped the 20-steal mark for the 12th and final time, five AL clubs recorded at least 100 stolen bases — a mark not reached in the Junior Circuit from 1946-56.
The Venezuelan-born Aparicio, a 13-time All-Star, played every one of his 2,583 Major League games in the field at shortstop, winning nine Gold Gloves. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame 25 years ago after an 18-year big league career with the White Sox, Orioles and Red Sox.
Happy birthday, Little Louie!

Presbyopia is a condition in which the lens of the eye loses its ability to focus. This makes it hard to see objects up close.
The lens needs to change its length or shape to focus on objects that are close. The ability of the lens to change shape is called the elasticity of the lens. This elasticity decreases slowly as people age. The result is a slow loss in the ability of the eye to focus on nearby objects.
People most often begin to notice the condition at around age 45, when they realize that they need to hold reading materials farther away in order to focus on them. Presbyopia is a natural part of the aging process and it affects everyone.
The health care provider will perform a general eye exam. This will include measurements to determine a prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
Tests may include:
There is no cure for presbyopia, but it can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. In some cases, adding bifocals to an existing lens prescription is enough. The bifocal prescription will need to be strengthened as you lose the ability to focus up close.
Most peoples' eyes have lost the elasticity needed to focus up close by age 65. However, you may still be able to read with the help of the right prescription. You may find that you need to hold reading materials farther away, and you may need larger print and more light for reading.
People who do not need glasses for distance vision may only need half glasses or reading glasses.
People who are nearsighted may be able to take off their distance glasses to read.
With the use of contact lenses, some people choose to correct one eye for near and one eye for far vision. This is called "monovision." The technique eliminates the need for bifocals or reading glasses, but it can affect depth perception.
Sometimes monovision can be produced through laser vision correction. There are also bifocal contact lenses that can correct for both near and far vision in both eyes.
New surgical procedures are being evaluated that can also provide solutions for people who do not want to wear glasses or contacts. One promising procedure involves implanting a lens or a pinhole membrane in the cornea. Procedures very often can be reversed, if necessary.
Vision can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
Vision difficulty that gets worse over time and is not corrected can cause problems with driving, lifestyle, or work.
Call your health care provider or ophthalmologist if you have eye strain or have trouble focusing on close objects.
There is no proven prevention for presbyopia.

The capital of Senegal which gained worldwide fame due to the mythical Dakar off road race is a very relaxed and informal city. The sun, the beach and natural beauty are all attracting factors and nothing better to remember this passage through Dakar than to bring back home in your luggage a little of its culture and history.
As in any African city, the art of bargaining has a name and especially many practitioners. Bargaining or wahalé in Wolof language is almost as important as the goods themselves. There are several places aimed for shopping, but do not be surprised. One of the most common situations in Dakar are buying and selling in the street, from exotic fruits to leather goods, varied hardware, shoes and even tables, chairs, sofas and furniture! But there are many other items to buy in Dakar. While strolling through the capital, go to the Medina area. This is an old town, typical of Islamic cities, where you will find many crafts artisans. Go then to the Kermel, a market where you can buy exotic flowers, fruits, vegetables and also fresh fish. In Tilen Market choose to bring medicinal plants, with the guarantee of the sellers, many of them have magical powers. Handicraft is one of the great attractions for those visiting the city. Just close by, in Soumbedioune see the artisans, sculptors, weavers in full activity. Surrounding the Sandaga Market, specialized on fresh products, you can also find electronic goods in several fairs and where they sell a little of everything.

2 Just so disappointing...Rogue25 | 01/09/2012 | See all Rogue25's reviews (12)After the 2008 game, I was really looking forward to this. But it is so disappointing and the main reason for this is because - for some reason - they have taken away circuit mode!!! I have no idea why. You are therefore only left having to play endless single circuits. So it takes you a minute or two to set up the 100m and then its all over in 10 seconds and you have to set up another event. The choice of events is better but some of the controls are bizarre. Just such a let down. It could have been so good but isn't.

Yes, that's exactly what I was talking about. The PS2 had a massive amount of games to pick from and play. I didn't feel like the PS3 was up to speed with its Predecessor. I'm afraid the PS4 will have the same problem, if not worse.

The College News VOL. XXI, No. 9 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1934 lopy'rlglit BKYN MAWR rill.I.W.K NKVVS, 1934 PRICE 10 CEltfrS Spanish Republic Ref orms Legislation of Land and State Dr. Gray Describes Revolution, Labor, Education Reforms, New Constitution REVOLUTIONARY STRIKE CONTROLLED BY TROOPS Common Room, December 17. Before a large gathering of stu- dents and Faculty under the auspices of the International Relations Club, Dr. Howard L. Gray spoke on The New Republic in Spain. After a few introductory remarks on similarities to be found in the background and causes of* the revolutionary republic in Spain, and conditions in France, England and Russia at various times i^ their history, Dr. Gray explained how the Republic came into being. After the war Spain found herself in a demoralized state, even though she had not actually taken part in war. The politicians were corrupt and self-seeking and a war soon occurred over the Moroccan question. The re- sults were disastrous, for in one bat- tle about 14,000 Spanish troops were killed. An investigation into this de- feat*, which would have revealed facts defamatory to the monarchy, was sum- marily halted by the appointment of Rivera as dictator. He pursued a policy of cleaning up politics, ending the war, and restoring prosperity un- til about 1928. But his failure to end the dictatorship caused his downfall. General municipal elections held in April, 1931, showed the hostile feel- ing to dictatorship. The monarchy appeared to favor it and there was lit- tle support for the throne. Soon af- terward, Alfonso abdicated and fled the country. The revolution was es- sentially peaceful, and an election was held under the auspices of a Provi- sional Government. The result was an overwhelming defeat for the mon- archists? General Zamora was chosen head of the government. He was a large land- owner and a Catholic. A modern con- stitution was adopted with a single legislature and a Cabinet responsible to it. The Catalonians, Basques, As- turians and Galicians favored a fed- Continued oil Page Four Opinions of Students On Peace To Be Asked - Bryn Mawr has been selected by the Association of College Editors as one of one hundred and fifty American colleges and universities in which The Literary Digest, in conjunction with the Association, is conducting a Peace Poll. The questions to be asked on the poll ballots, which will be mailed to Bryn Mawr during Christmas vaca- tion are as follows* 1. Do you believe that the United States can stay out of another great war? (a) If the borders of the United States were invaded, would you bear arms in defense of your country)? (b) Would you bear arms for the United States in the invasion of the borders of another country? 2. Do you believe that a national policy of AN AMERICAN NA'Vy AND AIR-FORCE SECOND TO NONE will insure us against the pos- sibilities of another great war? 3. Do you favor government con- trol of armament and munition indus- tries? 4. Do you approve of the conscrip- tion of capital in time of war, just as has been our historic procedure .in drafting man-power in time of war? 5. Do you think that, in the pur- suit of the stabilization of Peace, it would be a wise policy for the United States to enter the League of Na- tions? , Similar polls in European colleges and-interviews with statesmen abroad to define the policies of the great pow- ers of Europe and Asia with regard to these questions are being sponsored by The Literary Digest to discover and report what the leaders of today and the leaders of tomorrow think now about the stabilization of peace. Dr. Leuba Publishes God or Man? Professor James H. Leuba, formerly head of the Psychology Department at Bryn Mawr, has recently published a new book, God or Man, A Study of I he Value of God to Man. It con- siders the problem of whether certain experiences which are usually regard- ed as divine are really of supernat- ural origin'vor whether they are not the result or natural forces at the service of man. Professor Leuba does not try to an- swer the fundamental question of "God or Man," by means of philosoph- ical speculation, but with a careful analysis of the, experiences in consid- eration. This book has been generally praised by critics, among others Al- dous Huxley, who says that this is a book "which no student of contem- porary society can afford to miss." Henry Holt and Co. are the publish- ers. The volume is on sale* at the Book Shop. Choir Sings Carols With Unusual Beauty Mary Earp Renders Recitative With Rich, Solemn Warmth of Tonal Quality DR. CREIGHTON SPEAKS Goodhart, December 16. "Thanks be to. God for His un- speakable Gift!" Was the text from St. Paul, which the Right Reverend Frank Creighton, D.D., Suffragan Bishop of Long Island, and former Missionary Bishop to Mexico, chose for his address at the Christmas Carol Service. Perhaps because the Gift was unspeakable, the joy felt at Christmas time is unspeakable, too. It cannot be explained nor suggested; it can only be sung. The Bryn Mawr choir sang it, and sang better than it has ever sung before. The choir, directed by Mr. Ernest Willoughby, and accompanied at the piano by Mr. Vernon A. Hammond, entered singing "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful," and then "Hark, the Her- ald Angels Sing." After prayer, the Bishop read the first chapter of the Book of John, and the choir sang "Here We Come a Wassailing." Their voices were high and light as chil- dren's are. Merely a faint undertone of lower pitch supplemented the mel- ody and emphasized its monotony. In "A Babe in Bethlehem's Manger," the high voices were fewer and sang only brief phrases that were followed by the more prolonged, deep responses of the whole choir. The repeated chorus was of the same deep tone, and full of echoing "Noels." Bach's Jem . So Sweet was more complicated than either of the two traditional carols. The various parts did not sing their words in unison. Instead, each was a beat behind the other, so that at the end of every phrase, lower notes fol- lowed like echoes. Through Vaughan Williams' gay carol, "On Christmas Night," some of the choir softly hum- med an- accompaniment to the quick, swinging voices of the rest. Just as swinging and brave was the rhythm of "King Herod and the Cock," but the last stanza was slowed and deep- ened until it sounded like a martial air.

Bernheimer's lecture on The Search for the Earliest Ameri- can Civilization gave us the feeling that Arizona was the most beautiful country in the world, filled with pos- sibilities of tremendously interesting discoveries in the history of animals and man. Mr. Bernheimer's expedi- tions have been under the auspices of the Museum of Natural History in New York, the Smithsonian and the Carnegie Institutes, and the National Museum. These institutions pronounc- ed the dinosaur tracks that he found in a narrow canyon off the Navajo the most perfect ever seen, and three imprints, which Mr. Bernheimer res- cued from a stream bed, are in the Natural History. Museum in New York. The country where the earliest American civilization grew up is a rocky desert of glamorous coloring. Mr. Bernheimer showed views from the mesas to which he climbed, over long stretches of pink and orange and grey-green rocks. He showed, too, pictures of the canyon of the Navajo and the Chelly, and an especially in- teresting and "appalling" view of a turbulent river that had carved itself an almost perfect amphitheatre can- yon surrounding a pointed dome. The horses and mules of the expedition had to rflimb over absolutely smooth rock, so worn that it looked in ridges and in color, like a shell. There is comparatively little sand in the West- ern American desert, but the pictures of the sandy stretches, with towering, narrow red rocks in the distances, were enchanting. The most exciting part of the scen- ery of Arizona ^s the natural bridges, formed entirely by the action of the wind and sand. The most famous of them is the Rainbow Bridge, to which Mr. Bernheimer opened a new pas- sage, and of which he showed us an unforgettable picture, taken by moon- light. He showed us other bridges that he found, none so perfect, but some even more impressive than the rain- bow bridge. The Hawkeye Bridge has caves behind it which show the aeolic processes uncompleted. The Owl Head\ caves are a strange mixture of half? formed bridges and deep caverns in the rock; and the Clara Bernheimer bridge, which is very like the Rain- bow, is between cliffs and can be pho- tographed only from below. Mr. Bernheimer was led to these discoveries by his search for the bas- ket makers' civilization. These In- dians were the ancestors of the Pai- utes of today, and were long-headed, while the Navajos are broad-headed. The basket makers are related to the aborigines of Mongolia and Australia, as is shown by their boomerangs and implements evincing Eastern relation- ships. They knew no metal, but wore shells brought inland 750 miles from the' Pacific. They lived in dwellings built of tufa rock with beams, and decorated the walls with .painted and chipped designs of men and animals, and with symbols. Some of the houses are entered by a ladder through the roof; some by T-shaped doorways, because the Indians thought people ^vere wider at the top than about the legs. The race of the bas- ket makers flourished from 1500 B. C. to 1500 A- D.; their dates are ascer- tained by ^he rings in the beams of their houfHK A* ______________________-� * >> Dr. Machlup Addresses Class Dr. Fritz Machlup, internationally known economist from the University of Vienna, addressed Dr. Anderson's Money and Banking class on Monday morning. Dr. Machlup is an adher- ent of the Austrian School of Econom- ics, and is known for his work in Cap- ital Theory and the Consumption of Capital. He described the Central Bank and the gold systems of Aus- tria, and explained the effects on Aus- tria of American deflation in the value of the dollar. In giving an account of his own work on Capital Consumption, Dr. Machlup showed that the usual idea that profits are gained through inflation is false. If a manufacturer has a stock of cotton worth $10,000 on January 1, and on December 31 lias the same stock of cotton, now worth $20,000 as the result of inflation, he usually considers the added $10,000 as profits and spends it. Actually, how- ever, he is spending his capital, be- cause he could not replace his stock of cotton for less than the $20,000 which it is now worth.

The price to students will he one dollar. Mr. De Loache won the At water- Kent Contest for 1927 and came to Philadelphia to study at the Curtis Institute under the famous baritone, Emilio" de Gorgoza. During recent years he has made a distinguished rec- ord in concert and opera perform- ances. During the concert season of 1933-34 he narrated Poe's Raven with the Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Stokowski, and again in December of 1933 he sang Fantasia, by Vaughan-Williams, also with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Mr. Sto- kowski. Nature of X-Rays Shown in Crystal, Wave Experiments Dr. Darrow Describes Lattice Structure of Crystals in Diffracting Waves SURFACE STRUCTURE GIVEN BY ELECTRONS Goodhart, December 14. Dr. Carl Darrow, of the Bell Tele- phone Laboratories, in his lecture on Waves and Crystals, explained the experiments that have helped to es- tablish the wave nature of X-rays and beams of electrons and have also helped to prove the lattice structure of the atoms in crystals. In 1898 Roentgen discovered in X- -� rays waves small enough to interact with crystals, and even then it took fourteen years for the connection be- tween the two to be discovered. In the meantime, crystallography, had been far enough advanced for a hun- dred years and was ready and waiting for its new purpose. Crystals have many apparent char- acteristics, but their most distinguish- ing one, the regular arrangement of their atoms, is not obvious even under the most powerful microscopes. The essential nature of crystals is that their atoms are arranged in ranks and files like soldiers, only in three dimen- sions. In an easily vizualized two di- mensional lattice, the windows in a building, it can be seen that the dom- inant lines are horizontal and vertical, not diagonal, and also that these hori- zontal and vertical lines can only be parallel to the outside edges of the building. Dr. TDarrow showed some pictures of crystals and some dia- grams which demonstrated how this is exactly the case with the atomic arrangement of the crystals, from the simple to the complex. Before pointing out what will hap- pen when a number of wave-trains fall on a cubic crystal, Dr. Darrow � Continued on I'aue Kour Walter Duranty Speaks on Varied Conditions of Collectivization, Production in Russia Fiftieth Anniversary Mrs. F. Louis Slade is going to speak to the students at 4.15 P. M., in Goodhart, Thursday, December 20, on the Alumnae Drive and the plans for the celebration of the Fiftieth An- niversary of the College. / Bellevue Hotel, December 15. It is difficult to make a concrete ap- praisal of conditions in Russia because the country is so varied, so big, and in such a state of flux. They know whither they are trying to go and why, but there is so much variety in conditions that it is almost guesswork i| to the exact nature of the facts. his is the conclusion reached by Wal- ter Duranty, special correspondent from Russia for the New York Times since 1921, speaking at a Foreign Pol- icy Association Luncheon. Although the Russians are working for a Communist state, Stalin recently said that the state is more socialistic than communistic, because the scale of wages varies. There is now no private wealth and practically no private trade, and money rivalry is not allow- ed because they think it leads to war. They do, however, allow success in other ways, for a high Commissioner in the army, although he is theoretical- ly on the same level as a low officer, does have more confforts because he is doing important work for the State. This is not leading to the development of a new bourgeois class, as has of- ten been charged, because the higher officials do not consider their comforts their own and cannot transmit the right to them to their children. Th difference is more one of rank than class. The Russians aim to give th<> the same benefits as the hig The mass is to have surf; warmth, light, clothes an because, according to vism would come abo developed indii t-Uiil Russia it actual! non-industrial st? people which poor.

In another factory a work- er with a higher wage may have very uncomfortable living conditions. Transportation is still their weakest point, but it is possible that Russia may make the leap from ox-cart to aeroplane without the intermediate step of railroads.

(First post! )
Hi. I noticed the lineart at the bottom of the latest PPG Doujinshi page, and thought to myself 'Man, that would be so awesome to colour'.
So after firing up GIMP, and cutting the picture down to the lineart, a thought hit me: 'Better ask permission first...'
... So here I am... I would've sent an email, but then I would've sounded like a rabid fan-boy, which is not good...
(Plus, if I get an affirmative response, I've got a place to post up my results without a lengthy preambulation)

I couldn't resist jumping on the 'end-of-the-year-collage' bandwagon.
I, too, was surprised when I went back and looked at everything I'd finished.
It made me feel so productive!
During the past week, I saw or heard many comments in the media about how glad people were to be rid of 2009.
As I thought about my feelings toward 2009 I realized it was a year of many blessings to me.
And not just because it was the first year in the past 10
where I no longer had multiple diapers to change on a daily basis. (Yee-haw!)
In 2009 I learned a lot about myself and what mattered most.
This year I accomplished some personal goals outside my comfort zone.
That is always a rewarding feeling.
I've got many goals far outside my comfort zone yet to go,
but it's motivational to see progress.
This year I lost two very dear friends who had a big impact on me at pivotal points in my life.
Both were young with spouses and small children.
Their loss was both sudden and tragic,
but in many ways refined my perspective on what is most important in life.
I'm grateful to know that I'll see those friends again
and I continue to be blessed by their love and friendship.
I also moved.
(SO glad that is done.)
In that process I also lost my close proximity
to a lot of other friends and neighbors (and fence) who I dearly love.
I miss them. They blessed my life -
whether as caring babysitters, Sunday school teachers, or nurturers of my children,
someone I could borrow an egg from or ask for advice about dead spots in the lawn,
or people who brought me ceviche and daffodil bulbs for my birthday.
My life will always be blessed by those relationships.
I'm glad they're not gone forever.
This year I met a lot of very cool new friends - not all of whom I've met in real life (yet)
- but who I feel so grateful to know and who have been so generous and encouraging.
Thanks to many of you for being among that group.
Life is good, isn't it?
Here's looking forward to 2010 and what it has to bring!

Automotive application developers will expect to receive as much help as possible from suppliers as they contend with the requirements of ISO 26262.
When Freescale Semiconductor launched its SafeAssure program last September it promised to make functional safety an integral part of its product development process to align to the requirements of ISO 26262 and IEC 61508. It said its products would be defined and designed to comply with the standards, with safety analysis done at each step of the development process and confirmation measures taken to help ensure that safety requirements are fully met.
At the Freescale Technology Forum in San Antonio earlier this month Freescale announced two SafeAssure product families, the 32-bit Qorivva MPC574xP microcontroller (MCU) and MC33906/7/8 system basis chip (SBC), that can help automotive systems meet Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL) up through ASIL D. Freescale said the MC33906/7/8 devices are its first analog solutions developed to satisfy ASIL D requirements.
The MCU and SBC tandem should benefit electric power steering, electronic stability control, vehicle dynamic and chassis control, safety domain control, adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection.
According to Freescale, using the MPC574xP MCU with MC33906/7/8 SBC devices helps simplify system design and optimize interactions at the monitoring and diagnostic and software architecture levels, while each device has its own fail-safe check mechanism. The SafeAssure hardware concept is said to focus on detecting and mitigating random hardware failures. Built-in safety functions for failure control include self-testing, monitoring and hardware-based redundancy. The 180 MHz Qorivva MCU, built on a 55 nm process, includes dual-core delayed lock step and additional on-chip redundancy. It can operate in extreme environments (up to 165°C). The SBCs provide monitoring of key analog parameters, a failsafe state machine, and an advanced watchdog. The combination is intended to simplify system designs and reduce software complexity.
Automotive application developers need all the help they can get.

It doesn't need to be as difficult as either of those examples. Since both pans are circles, pi drops off both sides and you get 7oz/36 = x/25x = 7/36*25 = 4.861oz
Bob,The way I do it is 7 x 25/36 = 4.86 ounces. The math works the same when when you scale up. For example, for a 14" pizza, the math is 7 x 49/36 = 9.53 ounces. The same approach can also be used for sauce and cheese although that won't be quite as exact because the sauce and cheese stop short of the rim of the pizza, if the pizza has a rim. It is more accurate for a rimless pizza, like a cracker style.Peter
since both are circles you can just drop the r....correcto?
25 is radius squared 5x5 for 10" pan36 is radius squared 6x6 for 12" pan

St. Louis – Carlo Colaiacovo (B.J. Crombeen, Alex Steen) 6:28
2nd Period
St. Louis – Patrik Berglund (Brad Winchester, T.J. Oshie) 9:49

St. Louis – Paul Kariya (power play) (unassisted) 15:55
3rd Period
St. Louis - Alex Steen (Mike Weaver) 11:02
Goalies: Chris Mason (1st period), Ty Conklin (2nd period), Ben Bishop (3rd period)
The Blues played all 8 defencemen. So Strachan could play in Sweden, and Bishop played, too.
They dominated the game so strongly that it seemed like a practise. But, 2 of Linköping's main scorers (Hlavic and Hlinka) did not play. I hope this doesn't go to their heads too much. I want them to be playing all out with an edge against Detroit, and win both games outright (no overtimes. They need to break out 4 points ahead of The Wings ffrom the start of the season, and not look back.

Introducing Shana from University of Tampa via New Jersey. So as I mentioned in my Call To Action blog about New Jersey landing another Blackout show, I mentioned how there are certain schools we go to that rage so hard because they have a large population of Jersey kids. Well Tampa is one of those places. Got smokeshows like Shana and kids who party like its their jobs who head south from Dirty Jerz to go to school in the sun. Shana and the rest of UT will have a blast at their Blackout, no doubt about it. Its just a matter of if Shana and the rest of Jersey want Fckin Foam on their home turf. Right now the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton is the only venue in Jersey that has the balls to host Barstool again. Everyone else has banned us because the Blackout Tour is so much to handle. If Shana and the rest of Jersey want the Blackout Tour to come through NJ once again, they gotta show it. Head over the the Barstool Blackout Trenton Fan Page. Like it and post it on your wall and tweet it to your followers. If we get 1,000 Likes, we'll be convinced theres enough interest in Trenton to book another show. We got a measly 300 last night. Lets blow this page up and show El Pres and the rest of the country that New Jersey is undoubtedly the All Stars of The Blackout Tour.

New Flo/PCB Software Helps Solve Lead-Free Manufacturing Problems
July 2006
Flomerics has released the latest version of its Flo/PCB thermal simulation software which helps solve thermal problems in solder reflow processing associated with the use of lead-free solders. Perhaps the greatest challenge of lead-free manufacturing is that temperature variations over the printed circuit board (PCB) during the reflow process must be maintained at much smaller levels in order to achieve the higher melt temperatures required by lead-free solders without damaging sensitive components. The new version of Flo/PCB simulates the reflow process and predicts the temperatures at any point on the board during the entire reflow process. This makes it possible to optimize oven settings and thermocouple attachment points prior to a physical profiling run. It also allows board designers to investigate the effects of component layout on the solderability of the PCB assembly.
As the PCB is heated and then cooled while it passes through the reflow oven, the coldest component must be hot enough to melt the solder while all components must avoid exceeding the maximum component body temperature. Lead-free manufacturing makes this more difficult since lead-free solders melt at a higher temperature while the maximum temperature that components can be exposed to without damage remains the same. This means the temperature gradient, the difference between the maximum temperature experienced by the hottest part of the board and the maximum temperature experienced by the coldest part of the board, must be smaller than when traditional lead-based solders are used.
The temperature gradient is caused by the fact that not all components heat up at the same rate. Small components heat up more quickly than large components, and components that are close to each other also heat up more slowly than those that are far from other components. Components near edges and corners tend to heat up quickly. Different package styles have different thermal response characteristics. The conveyer speed also affects component heating rates. The maximum body temperatures defined by IPC J-STD-020 range from 245oC to 260oC while full liquidity with SnAgCu alloy solders is achieved only at 235oC. The temperature gradient over the board must thus be maintained within approximately 10oC.
Flomerics' new Flo/PCB software makes it possible to design PCBs for lead-free manufacturing by predicting thermal gradients during solder reflow processing. Design engineers can evaluate the thermal gradients generated by different component layouts at an early stage in the design process when changes can be made inexpensively. Manufacturing engineers can optimize oven settings such as conveyor speed and zonal temperatures in order to minimize thermal gradients. The coldest and hottest points on the PCB can be identified without the need for a physical test board so that thermocouples can be attached to the appropriate points for reflow profiling. The oven calibration starting point can be predicted to minimize the number of profiling runs required.

The two suitcases sat stuffed to the zippers and still a mountain of clothes weren't going to fit. I sat on them. Packed in as many individual socks as I could. The furniture of the room encircled my four months of living turned-two-suitcases, leering at me with a forlorn emptiness.
Let's put it this way. I'm sad. I'm happy. I'm looking forward and back and inwards. This has been an incredibly eye-opening semester of my life. I've expressed on several occasions that it has perhaps been the most incredible experience of my life…I'm sorry band camp, you almost made the cut. It was a tough decision but one that had to be made.
I've officially moved out of my apartment. I've still got a few more days in my apartment, but it has come with much heartache. One of those bits of heartache come from saying farewell to the incredible city that is Perugia. I stayed here for four fabulous months of my life, a city that I didn't even realize housed many centuries of history in its very structure. I was given an in-depth tour of the city, and now I can still by the building materials of any wall in the city if it was Etruscan made (pre-Roman Empire), a medieval construction, or constructed by the Papal States.
Architecture aside, saying goodbye to friends is undoubtedly the hardest. Friends from America who, although living in the same country as me, will be difficult to see again or often. Friends from Korea (I prefer not to even consider the logistics of seeing them again). Italian friends, from Perugia and Rome. I'm not trying to brag (although it's pretty impressive right?) just expressing how fulfilling this experience has been, and how difficult it will be to tear myself away.
Andrew! You told yourself you weren't going to cry. Stay strong…You're a man…

Fairly easy to install.
Helpful customer service and instruction manual.
Online services help with design.
The laminate surfaces peeled and were easily scuffed and marked during installation.
The system chipped during the drop test.
Rubbermaid Homefree Closet System
Rubbermaid Homefree Closet System (about $450 for our test configuration)
The durable wire track system was both stain- and scratch-resistant in GHRI tests. Spacers included with system let you estimate how much room you'll need for each shelf. Our tester found installation somewhat easy, although she had difficulty attaching the shoe cubby. In white or titanium; wood accessories are extra. (lowes.com)Pros:
The system was impervious to stains and was nearly scratch-free after the drop test.
Can be customized fairly easily.
Customer service was automated but helpful.
Thorough instruction manual.
Accessories may be difficult to attach.
The shoe cubby accessory was unstable in GHRI tests.
Once assembled, the system's bars didn't line up properly.
The company's Website was somewhat difficult to navigate.
Limited number of design services available.
John Louis Home
John Louis Home (about $850 for our test configuration)
Setting up this wall-mountable system wasn't easy for our tester it required extra elbow grease and some drilling but the end result looked great. And while you may need to cut down the system to fit your closet, the company offers plenty of detailed layout suggestions. In honey maple finish or red mahogany finish. (homedepot.com; target.com)Pros:
The finished product looked very polished.
The company provided several potential layouts from which to choose.
Customer service was prompt and helpful in GHRI evaluations.
Instruction manual was helpful.
Made of real wood.
May be somewhat difficult to install.
Some pieces needed to be drilled before using, which required additional work and caused some confusion during installation.
Not easy to customize to fit your space: The systems can't extend or contract, so you may need to cut down some pieces to fit your space.
May be difficult to line up the drawers.
There were some noticeable scuffs and marks after the drop test.
Limited number of design services available.
Ikea Pax
Ikea Pax (about $600 for our test configuration)
This large, melamine finished system is sturdy and fairly easy to put together, but some laminate broke off when our tester assembled it. Because of its size, you should recruit a friend to help out. We also found it was easier to put the whole organizer together first and then stand it up; otherwise, it may be difficult to align. Wall mounting isn't required, although you may choose to do so for added stability. In birch, black-brown, white oak, white, and gray. Available in the spring of 2010. (ikea.com)Pros:
The shelves and bars should be fairly easy to set up.
Sliding mechanisms were clearly labeled and easy to install.
The shoe rack was simple to set up, though time consuming.
Parts of the sliding mechanism were labeled, which helped our tester figure out how to install it.
Although the manual is somewhat helpful, you may need trial and error (and patience) when you build and install the pieces.
During assembly, the laminate chipped off easily.
The system was also nicked during the drop test.
Pieces weren't aligned after installation.
The system's very large frame is tough for one person to manage.
The sliding mechanism may require two people to install.
The tester noticed the laminate color on the drawers and frame didn't match.
Assortment of products is limited.
No phone number listed for customer service.
Ikea Stolmen
Ikea Stolmen (about $800 for our test configuration)
Board-frame shelves, drawers, and hanging rods all attach to aluminum posts in the Stolmen, so there are no brackets to install. Though it's not required, you do have the option to wall mount with brackets or attach it directly to the ceiling. Overall the system was sturdy, and although the instructions were incomplete and setup required more of a trial-and-error approach, the finished look was very nice. Caveat: Assembly is a two-person job, so asks a friend to help out. Shelving in white and white glass. (ikea.com)Pros:
The finished product looked polished.
Sturdy system it held up well in GHRI's drop test.
In GHRI tests, it resisted stains quite well.
You can attach the pole to the wall or extend it to the ceiling.
The manual was somewhat incomplete, and you may need trial and error (and patience) when you assemble the system.
Our tester found it difficult to level pieces inside of the system.
May not be easy to customize.
Assortment of products is very limited.
No phone number listed for customer service.

An adventure game from Tim Schafer, Double Fine, and YOU! Read more
An adventure game from Tim Schafer, Double Fine, and YOU!
About this project
The Kickstarter pledge period has ended, but the real fun is just beginning. Visit http://www.doublefine.com/dfa for the most current info about progress on Double Fine Adventure. And if you missed out on the Kickstarter, fear not. It's never too late for adventure! Just head over here to join the party: http://www.doublefine.com/dfapay
UPDATE 5: It's going to be difficult, but please do not continuously refresh the Kickstarter page in these final hours. Instead, join us on Ustream as we broadcast from our offices! Here's a link: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/double-fine-adventure.
And here's a video we put together for folks outside the US that are having difficulty backing the project:
UPDATE 4: Only four more days to get in on the fun!! A new update has been posted, and with that we've announced a new reward, our DF Adventure Backer T-shirts! Check them out:
And here's the full update video:
UPDATE 3: Check out the update tab for a message from 2 Player Productions! They've announced that Terrance Lee will be handling the documentary soundtrack and that Tim will be doing an "Ask me Anything" on Reddit this Sunday at 1PM PST (LINK!) to answer any questions you have. Oh, they also posted this blooper reel:
UPDATE 2: We've added new rewards! Specifically a digital soundtrack of the documentary, a special edition boxed copy of the game and documentary, and The Double Fine Adventure Book. Check the update tab for more info!
UPDATE 1: Proud to announce we're going to be developing for PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android! In addition to Steam codes, we will also be offering DRM free versions. And for all our lovely friends overseas, we'll be localizing the text in French, Italian, German, and Spanish. Thanks for the support!
We did it! 100% funded in just over eight hours. You people are amazing! But it's not over yet. The number keeps going up and now the question is just how much news do we want to make with this? We're getting a lot of attention already and it seems like this little project could have an impact beyond itself.
All money raised will go to make the game and documentary better. Additional money means it can appear on more platforms, be translated into more languages, have more music and voice, and an original soundtrack for the documentary, and more! We're still working to figure out exactly what we can offer, but we'll post more information as soon as possible.
Your backing and comments have been truly inspiring to me and the team, so on behalf of Double Fine and 2 Player Productions I want to say THANK YOU!!!
I can't wait to see where this thing can go!
Welcome to the Adventure
The world of video game design is a mysterious one. What really happens behind the closed doors of a development studio is often unknown, unappreciated, or misunderstood. And the bigger the studio, the more tightly shut its door tends to be. With this project, we're taking that door off its hinges and inviting you into the world of Double Fine Productions, the first major studio to fully finance their next game with a Kickstarter campaign and develop it in the public eye.
Double Fine Productions
Founded in 2000 by industry veteran Tim Schafer (Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango), the San Francisco-based company has established itself as a unique creative force with critically-acclaimed titles such as Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Costume Quest, Stacking, Iron Brigade, Once Upon a Monster, and Double Fine Happy Action Theater. This year, you'll be given a front-row seat as they revisit Tim's design roots and create a brand-new, downloadable "Point-and-Click" graphic adventure game for the modern age.
Why Kickstarter?
Double Fine's XBLA/PSN/PC title "Stacking"
Big games cost big money. Even something as "simple" as an Xbox LIVE Arcade title can cost upwards of two or three million dollars. For disc-based games, it can be over ten times that amount. To finance the production, promotion, and distribution of these massive undertakings, companies like Double Fine have to rely on external sources like publishers, investment firms, or loans. And while they fulfill an important role in the process, their involvement also comes with significant strings attached that can pull the game in the wrong directions or even cancel its production altogether. Thankfully, viable alternatives have emerged and gained momentum in recent years.
Crowd-sourced fundraising sites like Kickstarter have been an incredible boon to the independent development community. They democratize the process by allowing consumers to support the games they want to see developed and give the developers the freedom to experiment, take risks, and design without anyone else compromising their vision. It's the kind of creative luxury that most major, established studios simply can't afford. At least, not until now.
Tim negotiates publishing rights
Keeping the scale of the project this small accomplishes two things. First and foremost, Double Fine gets to make the game they want to make, promote it in whatever manner they deem appropriate, and release the finished product on their own terms. Secondly, since they're only accountable to themselves, there's an unprecedented opportunity to show the public what game development of this caliber looks like from the inside. Not the sanitized commercials-posing-as-interviews that marketing teams only value for their ability to boost sales, but an honest, in-depth insight into a modern art form that will both entertain and educate gamers and non-gamers alike.
About the Project
Over a six-to-eight month period, a small team under Tim Schafer's supervision will develop Double Fine's next game, a classic point-and-click adventure. Where it goes from there will unfold in real time for all the backers to see.Tim's Project Lead debut, point-and-click classic "Day of the Tentacle" (1993)
2 Player Productions will be documenting the creative process and releasing monthly video updates exclusively to the Kickstarter backers. This documentary series will strive to make the viewer as much a part of the process as possible by showing a game grow from start to finish, with all the passion, humor, and heartbreak that happens along the way. Double Fine is committed to total transparency with this project, ensuring it is one of the most honest depictions of game development ever conceived.There will be a private online community set up for the backers to discuss the project with the devs and submit their thoughts and feelings about the game's content and direction, sometimes even voting on decisions when the dev team can't decide. Backers will also have access to help test the game once a beta is available. Once the game is finished, backers will receive the completed version in the available format of their choice.
For fans of adventure games, this is a chance to prove that there is still a large demand out there for a unique medium that inspired so many of us.
This whole experience is being offered for the flat backer contribution of $15. We believe that beyond the reward of receiving the finished game, the ability to be a participant in the project makes this a unique opportunity.For anyone who wants to contribute above and beyond the call, we have a selection of premium rewards ranging from a download of the full documentary series in splendid 1080p HD video with bonus footage, to unique posters, original concept art, and even a mini painting of yourself done by the game's artist!
For those of you who want to be really special, check out www.doublefine.com for details on super premium high level rewards!
For anyone interested in the inner workings of the game industry, either professionally or as a fan, this project will be a landmark in exploring the art of development. For people that just love great games, this is an opportunity to help bring one to fruition.FAQ
A: Other than that it will be an old school adventure, we're not sure. That's the beauty of it! Everything will unfold in front of the cameras with help from you!
A: Backer videos are not available for view on Vimeo. This is so we can make sure only backers are seeing them! Click the update tab up top or follow this link to check it out!
A: Just click "your control panel" in the forums section, then "email settings." Change your email account to match your Kickstarter email account. The backer forums should appear in 24 hours or so!
A: The extra money will be put back into the game and documentary. This has already resulted in increased VO and music budgets, and additional release platforms for the game (Mac, Linux, iOS, Android). The higher it goes the better the project gets!
A: We were aiming to finish in October of 2012, but in light of the increased budget we're planning to expand production to ensure we make the best game possible.
A: Right over here: http://www.doublefine.com/forums/member/register/. Just make sure to use the same email account associated with your Kickstarter account.
A: Backers who pledge at least $15 will be offered Steam codes for PC or Mac as well as DRM free versions for PC, Mac, and Linux.
A: On Steam. Isn't Steam the best?!
A: The series will be released through Kickstater project updates and will be re-posted on the backer forums. Kickstarter updates appear here on the project page. Make sure you use a reliable email address and check your spam settings so you don't miss any updates!
A: Some of these items (like the Book and Special Edition box) will not be ready until a few months after the game ships. We'll work to keep everyone looped into development of these items, so watch the forums and for Kickstarter Updates! We're hoping to ship the shirts and posters a few months after the project starts though!
A: We're working to provide a sizing chart, but the smaller sizes (XS-XXL) will be American Apparel and the larger ones will be Gildan.
A: Please submit your survey now with an address that will be safe to ship things to (perhaps a family member or friend) in case we ship before you get a new address. Then as soon as you know your new address shoot us a message here on Kickstarter and we'll get it update.
A: If you're an international backer at the $100 tier who didn't account for shipping, please visit this website to take care of it through PayPal: http://www.doublefine.com/DFAShipping/

Where is this Forest?
The Fishlake National Forest in central Utah features majestic stands of aspen encircling open mountain meadows that are lush with a diverse community of forbs and grasses. Fish Lake, from which the forest takes its name, is considered by many to be the gem of Utah. The largest natural mountain lake in the state, it offers trophy fishing and bird watching. The mountains of the Fishlake are a source of water for many of the neighboring communities and agricultural valleys in the region. Elk, deer, black bear, cougar and moose can be found on the Forest, as well as wild turkey and mountain goats.
Find updates on the Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation Effort.
The Pando aspen clone is believed to be the largest organism ever found. Pando is located south west of Fish Lake on Utah's Scenic Byway (U-25).
The nation's forests and grasslands are at risk due to the effects of climate change and other major drivers of landscape change.

I have not until reading this thread again, give rath any thought whatsoever which goes to show his consequence and indeed influence upon me or most other members of this forum, indeed Australia.
