City Offers Program To Help Expedite Building Development
By: Katiera Winfrey
Updated: March 8, 2013
MIDLAND--Construction projects are popping up all over Midland, and some developers are finding the process to receive the go ahead to build hard. The City of Midland has come up with a plan to help speed up the development process.
It seems to be a never ending need to develop more to fit the needs of the booming population. City officials say errors in development proposals to planning and zoning is slowing down much of the city's potential growth.
"Starting next week, the city is going to be hosting what we call pre-submittal meetings. These are meetings are intended to help the development community work through our development process more efficiently and more quickly," said Jim Nichols, assistant city manager.
As the need to build grows the need to get development started with it grows as well.
"This is just another step we're taking to try to work better with our development team and community and hopefully allow them to get their projects done more quickly and in the end meet the needs of our citizens," said Nichols.
The city wants to help move the process along by offering pre-scheduled meetings to go over planning and zoning requirements with individual development groups.
"The four, five or six city staff, we will talk about your project at a time and then when you're done , you leave and the next project team comes in," Nichols said.
This upcoming planning project is geared toward private developers.
Nichols said, "Whether you would like to develop a single family home or an entire housing development, a small shop or a multi-million dollar mall."
City officials believe this plan will alleviate planning errors like failure to meet expansion requirements, failure to check for utility availability and zone requirements. As a result of the pre-planning, the city said developing projects will move more rapidly.
The meetings that are to be held aren't on a come all basis. Those interested have to be schedule and must fit into one of the available time slots allotted for the Wednesday 8:30-11:30 a.m. meeting times.
Officials expect that window of time will allow them time to meet with six-seven developers and/or their groups.
For more information or how to get on the agenda, you can email firstname.lastname@example.com or contact the city's planning department.
All meetings will be held in the City Hall basement conference room.

I had to condense a two drawer file cabinet and a desk file drawer into one drawer. This gave me the opportunity to clean out unnecessary junk and to relocate infrequently used files down the basement.I was amazed how much room there is in the one file drawer. The size of the lap drawer requires little storage containers so things don't slide all over the place. Works out well.

The companies that experts say will be ripest for M&A activity in the second half of the year are those with the stability and proven growth that can offset an uncertain economic environment.
"I would say the areas we're getting more activity as far as buyers coming in are certainly on the distribution and manufacturing side," said Steve Boylan, president of Beacon Business Group in Mequon. "It's still the Midwest. Blue collar companies, they're just much more attractive to Midwest businesses."
Beacon focuses on low to middle market deals, usually under $15 million. The first half of the year started out much busier on both the buy and sell side, but May and June were quiet, possibly because of Wisconsin's recall battle, Boylan said.
"The second half, I don't think it's going to take off and get super busy, but we are still seeing a steady flow of activity on the buy and sell side," he said.
Timothy Bullard, chief executive officer of VR Business Brokers in Pewaukee, said he expects staples that are not as affected by the economy, like distribution, packaging and food service businesses, to be popular during the remainder of the year.
"Right now, manufacturing is unbelievably hot in Wisconsin, just because the ones that have made it through the recession are pretty solid companies and they have the people that are qualified to do the work," Bullard said. "The horrible businesses to be in right now to sell is any restaurant or bar."
VR focuses on sell side for both small and large businesses, with a division focused on each.
While smaller companies are struggling to get financing, many other deals are happening this year, which may be driven by the expiration of the capital gains tax break at the end of 2012, Bullard said.
"The $2 million plus deals, it's very brisk," he said. "There's a lot of money on the sidelines. People are paying premium prices for them right now. It's a hot marketplace."
Anthony Dols, owner of Catalina Financial Group in Cedarburg, said he has seen firsthand the need to strengthen a company's finances before sale for picky buyers.
"I'm seeing individuals willing to buy, but they're still having problems getting the equity or the confidence to buy," Dols said. "I'm seeing some strategic buyers, but they are big budget corporations. They're picking the cream, the best deals."
He doesn't expect any specific industries to pick up in the second half of the year, just companies that have proven their worth.
"It all boils back down to the individual business and whether it's generating enough cash flow to be sold," he said. "If someone's buying the business, they're buying the ability to make money."
Some of the hottest industries for M&A are food, medical devices and information technology, and they will likely continue to be top choices because buyers favor them for their good margins and growth rates, said John Kielich, managing director of M&A Services at Kolb + Co. in Brookfield.
Many were expecting the capital gains incentive to drive more buyers to market than it has so far this year, Kielich said.
"If the deal is not started or is not soon to be started, it is going to be very difficult–not impossible – to get a transaction done," he said. "It would be a rush, because generally the timeline is six to nine months."
M&A activity does seem a little slow as a result of economic and political uncertainty, said Richard Taylor, principal at M&A Consultants Ltd. in Milwaukee.
"Particularly the buyers, they want to know what they should be assuming in their forecasts and the crystal ball's a little bit cloudy," Taylor said. "There's still a lot of herky-jerky economic movement out there."
Manufacturing companies, though, are commanding multiples between five and seven times EBITDA and will continue to do well, he said.
Long-term, baby boomer business owners will come to market gradually as they decide to sell, said Linda Mertz, CEO of Mertz Associates Inc. in Rubicon.
In the short-term, stable industries like food, since everyone needs to eat, and health care, because of an aging population that needs increasing care, are desirable for buyers, she said.
"Anything that can show growth is hot, whether it's an industry or a company with a niche," Mertz said.

Leaf Morphs into Luxury Sedan

Select Model
Shortly after Nissan unveiled its all-electric Leaf, the automaker made it clear that its ground-breaking hatch would be just the first of several EVs to come, with one pegged specifically for Infiniti. The Infiniti LE Concept sedan, on display at the 2012 New York auto show, is a not-so-subtle look at what the first Infiniti EV will become.
The Infiniti LE Concept is powered by a 100-kW electric motor (up from 80-kW in the Leaf) rated at 134 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque, slightly stronger than the motor that motivates the Leaf (107 hp and 207 lb-ft). Unchanged from the Leaf is the LE's 24-kWh lithium-ion battery pack mounted below the passenger compartment and driving range of about 100 miles per charge.
Infiniti says the LE will drive and behave like a proper luxury car, and given how quiet EV powertrains tend to be, interior cabin noise should be more than acceptable for a car of its class. In addition, the all-at-once torque of the LE's electric motor and single-speed transmission should provide smooth and instant acceleration, although we're betting it's not going to set any speed records. When Motor Trend tested the Leaf, it recorded a 0-to-60 mph time of 9.7 seconds, and we'd expect any production LE to shave maybe a second or so off that time.
While its wheelbase is the same as the Leaf, the LE is a healthy 9.4 in. longer, at 186.4 inches -- that's just 1.5 inches shorter than an Infiniti G37 sedan. Like several Infiniti concepts lately, the LE features numerous swoopy cues, a sloping roofline, and short trunk reminiscent of Infiniti's emerging styling direction. The LE's design is about more than just style, as Infiniti says it has a super slippery drag coefficient of 0.25 (the Leaf is 0.29), helping to improve the EV's range. Concept style cues include aerodynamic 19-inch wheels and trick LED lighting cues like the blue illumination for the car's underbody. The charging port is hidden beneath the Infiniti logo in the front grille as in the Leaf.
One of the LE's signature features is an inductive wireless charging unit located under the car's rear diffuser that Nissan recently previewed as a potential future for EV charging. By simply parking the LE over a wireless charge point that can be installed in a garage floor, the car can be charged without plugging the vehicle into an outlet. The LE concept also has a self-park system that automatically positions the car above the charge point. Using the electric power steering and 360-degree Around View camera, Infiniti says the LE's Intelligent Park Assist can drive itself toward the charger as soon as the car enters a parking garage.
The LE Concept's interior is, like most concept vehicles, a mix of present and future. Numerous luxury touches include seats and door trim reportedly inspired by the collars of Japanese kimonos, as well as mesh and leather seating swathed in a purple/white combo. Blue LEDs similar to the underbody cues illuminate the cabin, and the dashboard is dominated by pair of large touch-screen interfaces that allow occupants to easily find charging stations, calculate driving range, and more. The transmission selector is a palm-shaped sculpted knob similar to the unit in the Leaf.
Of course, there is plenty on the LE Concept that won't make it to production, but expect to see a car similar in scope to the LE within the next two years, possibly with an even more powerful motor and battery pack if Nissan is able to further develop its EV tech in time for launch.

BUFFALO -- It was clear somebody was going to fight. There were too many men with too many penalty minutes on the ice. It was only a question of how they would decide the fight card, like a game of goon roulette.
This has become a way of life for the Toronto Maple Leafs. And so, two minutes into the first period of their game against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night, Frazer McLaren squared off against John Scott on one side of the ice, while Colton Orr chased down and cross-checked Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta on the other side.
It was Orr's first shift of the game. He snapped his stick when he cross-checked Kaleta in his bid to start a fight. Orr was kicked out of the game afterward, meaning his statistical contribution to the game was this: 29 minutes in penalties in two seconds of ice time.
The Leafs killed off those penalties, but fell 5-4 in a shootout to a struggling Sabres team playing without its leading scorer, Thomas Vanek (lower body injury). Nazem Kadri scored twice, and he also had an assist on a third goal.
Steve Ott won it for the Sabres in the sixth round of the shootout, with Clarke MacArthur missing his chance to answer.
Kadri now has eight points in his last three games, and is averaging more than a point per game in a breakout season for the former first-round draft pick. It was his skill that dictated the pace of the game as the brutality of the first period faded into memory.
Toronto already led the NHL in fighting majors -- with 30, four more than second-place Columbus -- and the tactic has led to mixed results. In the 19 games in which the Leafs had recorded a fighting major before Thursday night, they had won 10, or basically half of the games in which they fought.
"Those guys do their job, they're very tough, they're very strong," Ott said before the game on Thursday. "Obviously, they do lead the league in fighting majors. But we've got guys to take care of strong guys like that on this team."
And fight they did. And again, it was not clear for what they were fighting.
Was it to establish momentum?
Orr and McLaren fought in the first two minutes of the game, but the Leafs were outshot 6-0 at one point, and did not register their first shot on goal for almost five minutes after the parallel bouts.
Was it for protection?
Kaleta landed a glancing blow on Kadri in the second period, when Orr was in the showers. And Scott -- who earned the decision over McLaren -- shoved winger Phil Kessel in an offensive zone faceoff. Both players took a penalty on the play, which made it a good trade for Buffalo.
Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle only gave McLaren 3:49 of ice time through the first two periods. When combined with Orr's absence, it left the Leafs with a shorter-than-usual bench heading into the third period of a road game, when Toronto was on the back end of two games in two nights.
And the third period was thrilling in stretches. Both teams scored in the first 10 minutes, with Kadri scoring his second of the game on a tip. Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller made an incredible sprawling save on Jay McClement to preserve a 4-4 tie midway through the period.
Orr watched it all unfold, showered and in his dark suit, from the press box.

Loren Hardin Column
Contributing Columnist
This is Part 3 in my personal self-help series on aging and ageism. This week I'm introducing you to my old departed friend Ed. I met Ed when he was managing the affairs of his deceased friend's wife, Gladys, who was on hospice. Ed was in his 90s and was still caring for his developmentally disabled daughter, "Barbie."
Ed took Barbie joy rides every evening, putting 30,000 miles a year on his Ford Escort, "Because she loves it." Ed carried a pager and still did taxes for a small select clientele. He frequently gave me collected verses and articles saying, "I thought these might help you in your job…I really like this public relations stuff…" Ed proclaimed, "I give God all the credit for my longevity. He is my pilot and my guide; my judge and my jury."
Despite Ed's continued passions, capacities and abilities he suffered the "slings and arrows" of what Dr. Robert Neil Butler (physician, gerontologist, psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize winning author) termed, "ageism" (1969). Ed testified, "People are always telling me, 'You're too old to do that Pops'; but I tell them, 'I don't count my birthdays, I count my blessings… I don't think about how old I am, I think about the job I have to do.'"
Ed testified to how people become impatient and irate with him when he drives, even though he maintains the speed limit, "When I'm driving I just obey the signs and keep it between the lines." Ed concluded, "People get old before their time; because they get old in their minds." Unfortunately, people can also get old before their time when they get "old" in our minds. We tend to treat people the way we see them; and we tend to assess our worth by our reflections in the eyes of others.
"Ageism", like racism is a form of discrimination with its associated prejudiced attitudes, discriminating practices and social injustices. Ageism segregates isolates and marginalizes. Discrimination makes judgments in favor of, or against, a person based upon preconceived notions or stereotypes about a group or class to which they belong; rather than on individual merit. Ageism regards older persons as debilitated, unworthy of time and attention and leads to reduced expectations and opportunities.
The prejudice associated with ageism can be "benevolent" or "hostile" (Iverson, Larsen, Solem; 2009). Benevolent prejudice involves seeing older people as "friendly" but "incompetent", "over the hill", "not up to the job", and results in the elderly being talked down to, talked around, pitied, marginalized and patronized. Hostile prejudice is based upon hate and fear and can result in disrespect, neglect, isolation and mistreatment.
I don't know about you, but I don't like being stereotyped, labeled, judged, pitied, patronized or marginalized. All that most of us ask for or expect is a fair shake, to be treated with respect, to be related to based upon who and what we are; upon our individual merit; nothing more, nothing less. So why in the world would we think that the elderly want or deserve anything less? After all, doesn't the "golden rule" apply to the elderly too; or does it just apply to those of us under age sixty? (But not for long!)
I leave you with some final words of wisdom from another old departed friend, Loyal:" Be careful, or you'll miss the gem by disqualifying the source"

Just Sold Out!
A wonderful album from the young Irish singer/songwriter who went onto become one of the brightest lights in 70s pop!

101 Strings Plus Dynamic Percussion ... LP
Alshire, Late 60s. Very Good+ ....
The 101 Strings organization matches up with a groovy percussion ensemble, for a sound that's like some of the good RCA percussion bachelor pad LPs from the 50's. Tracks include "Voodoo Moon", "Ski Run", "Dizzy Fingers", "Roller Coaster", and "Bats In...

Original Popcorn —
Original Popcorn ... CD
Vadim (France), 1969. New Copy ....
A weirdly great little record! At first glance, you might think that this album's just another version of the super-huge moog hit "Popcorn" – but it's a lot more than that! The group has sort of a sing-song funky feel – hard piano, some nice drums, and grooves that remind us...

Marty Paich —
Rock-Jazz Incident – The Sound Of Now (Japanese pressing) ... CD
Reprise (Japan), 1966. New Copy ....
We're not entirely sure about the "incident" mentioned in the title – clearly front page news back in the day – but we can say that the album's a sweet little groover with a nice mod bounce – a set that features lots of great organ and piano from the mighty Marty Paich,...

Rene Paulo —
Black Coral ... LP
Liberty, Late 50s. Very Good ....
A fairly straight album of piano tracks for Liberty, but with a subtle Polynesian feel to it. The cover would imply more, though – since it's got a beautiful underwater shot of an exotic looking model hiding behind some coral! Titles include "Hana", "Black Coral", "M...

Peppers —
Pepper Box (with bonus tracks) ... CD
Event/Repeat (UK), 1974. New Copy ....
A great bit of moogy madness! The Peppers were a bit like Hot Butter and other early 70s moog-based combos, but they also had a style that was a bit more funky – and was geared more towards the soul market, in which most of their singles usually travelled. This album's one of the group's...

Andre Popp —
Presenting Popp! ... LP
Columbia, Late 50s. New Copy (reissue)....
An obscure US album that presents some late 50s work recorded by Parisian easy maestro Andre Popp! Popp's had a strong reputation for years as being the Esquivel of the other side of the Atlantic, and this album's a perfect illustration of that point – very much like the earliest Esquivel...

Elsa Popping & Her Pixieland Band (Andre Popp) —
Delirium In Hi Fi ... LP
Columbia, 1957. New Copy (reissue)....
A lost Hi Fi gem! Released in America under the name of "Elsa Popping & Her Pixieland Band" – the record is actually a stunning collaboration between French orchestra leader Andre Popp and sound effects wizard Pierre Fatosme. The sound is wild and swinging, with a feel that's...

United Artists, 1968. Near Mint- ....
Just Sold Out!
Groovy late 60's record in which the great Latin bandleader takes his style into a whole new bag, baby! Some of the stuff on here is straight Latin, but most of the cuts are weird Latin soul instrumentals, with a range of material that includes Brazilian stuff (Deodato's "Cabo Frio" and...

Milano Violenta – Original Soundtrack ... LP
Plastic (Italy), Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)....
Nice one! This is a groovy reissue of the soundtrack to Milano Violenta, written by Enrico Pieranunzi and Silvano Chimenti, and performed by the funky studio group Pulsar Music Ltd. The feel of the album is similar to that of some of the best tracks on the Stroboscopia comps – with lots of...

Don Randi —
Love Theme From Romeo & Juliet ... LP
Capitol, Late 60s. Very Good+ ....
Great work from pianist Don Randi – and a lost David Axelrod gem! The album features Randi playing over Axelrod arrangements – and as a whole, it's really more of an Axelrod album than anything else – especially considering the fact that Randi was the player on some of Axe's own...

Divagazioni (140 gram vinyl – with bonus CD) ... LP
Flipper/Penny (Italy), 1975. New Copy LP & CD (reissue)....
Just Sold Out!
Sweet sound library grooves from 70s Italy – a record that sparkles wonderfully throughout, often with some of the brighter touches we'd expect from German or Swiss sound library material! The tunes are jazzy, with strong undercurrents of funk – and often have a strong keyboard line...

Les Reed —
Fly Me To The Sun ... LP
Deram, Late 60s. Very Good ....
A Brit easy gem from the great Les Reed – one of the massive talents working in England's instrumental scene during the 60s, and an arranger who's got a hipper flair for a tune than most! Les does a great job here with a set of sunny groovers – mostly standards, including a few with a...

Emil Richards —
New Sound Element – Stones/Journey To Bliss/New Time Element ... CD
Uni/Omni (Australia), 1967/1968. New Copy ....
Mindblowing music from this ultra-cool musician – nearly three albums packaged on one CD! First up is Stones – a very groovy set of tunes that we'd rank right up there with Hal Blaine's Psychedelic Percussion for sheer nuttiness! Emil Richard plays a range of percussion instruments...
read more
Johnny Richards —
Wide Range ... LP
Capitol, 1957. Very Good ....
A killer album from Johnny Richards – possibly the best he ever cut! The album sparkles with all the intensity he brought to Stan Kenton's Cuban Fire album – with bits of Latin, jazz, and some of the modernist scoring that Kenton, Richards, and Pete Rugolo were using at the time. ...

Joshua Rifkin —
Baroque Beatles Book ... LP
Elektra, 1965. Very Good- ....
One of the weirdest Beatle-related projects of the 60s – and one of the most abstract, as well! The album's got kind of an odd concept – in that it purports to be a rediscovery of rare baroque music roots of famous Beatle tunes by Lennon & McCartney – recorded with offbeat...

Harry Roche Constellation —
Spiral (plus Sometimes) ... CD
El (UK), 1973. New Copy ....
Easy instrumentals and jazzy genius from the early 70s Brit scene – groovy, moddish jazz takes on pop and soundtrack hits of the time from the Harry Roche Constellation – with a vibe that betters the grooviest of sound library discoveries! There's a loungey charm to many of the tunes,...

Willie Rodriguez —
Drums Of Rodriguez (10 inch LP) ... LP
Cook, Early 50s. Very Good+ ....
A nice little session of Latin jazz – percussive at the bottom, but with an overall jazz mambo feel that's similar to early 50s work by Chico O'Farrill. Tracks are shortish, but have some nice solos by unnamed players – and titles include "Hi Fi Mambo", "Mambo A La...

Capitol, Mid 60s. Sealed ....
A relatively obscure chapter in David Axelrod's career at Capitol – a record of instrumental themes from the film The Bible, plus other 60s epics – like Spartacus, Ben Hur, and so on. Axelrod only produced the album, but you can definitely hear his influence on Rose's sound –...

Rubber Band —
Beatles Songbook ... LP
GRT, Early 70s. Very Good+ ....
The Rubber Band turn their talents towards The Beatles – after successful earlier albums based around the work of Cream and Jimi Hendrix! The sound here is a bit more playful than the funkier sets from before – almost whimsical at times, with instrumentation that does odd things with...

Jan Rubini —
Surf Symphony ... LP
Capitol, Late 60s. Very Good+ ....
An incredible little record – and one that helped take the Capitol Records surf sound of the early 60s into much hipper territory for the 70s! The record is certainly a "surf symphony" – in that it features a larger orchestra conducted by Jan Rubini – set to groovier...

Mort Sahl At The Hungry I ... LP
Verve, Late 50s. Very Good ....
Although not nearly as well-remembered as Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl is really our favorite comedian from the late 50s. He's got this incredible delivery style that is both immediately arresting and surprisingly heartfelt – and instead of doing short canned "bits", he just sort of...

A wonderful album from Lalo Schfrin! This one mixes together bossa piano and sweeping string arrangements – in a style that's incredibly dark-edged and driving, with a sound that's at once spooky and lovely – a dancing groove that makes the best tracks really sparkle! The album's...

Under-exposed genius from the legendary Raymond Scott – a set of straighter jazz material from the late 40s, but all of it with Scott's undeniable sense of madness still very firmly in place! Most of the work here is small combo – played by either a quintet or sextet – and...

Billed as "an infant's friend in sound" these Soothing Sounds albums were issued in the early 60's as an electronic aid to mothers with new babies. In reality, though, the records are these amazing bits of early electronic music, put together by the legendary Raymond Scott (known best to...

I'm encountering a problem with a project we have to do for university. Our task is to build an autonomous robot, which collects coloured tin cans (3 kind of colors, size of a beer can) and brings them to different areas within a field of 2x2 meters, depending on the detected color.
We started small with a simple method to let the robot rotate and stop if it detects a can:
The problem now is that the angle between the object (can) and the robot itself are not properly aligned, apparently because of the ultrasonic signal diffusion.
The code lacks a correction functionality depending on the distance and effect of diffusion.
- Code: Select all
boolean minDistReached = false;
final int MINDISTANCE = 60;
int lastDistVal = 0;
while (!minDistReached) {
// Auslesen des usSensors
minDistReached = usSensor.getDistance() <= MINDISTANCE;
lastDistVal = usSensor.getDistance();
Now we figured out a second problem. There will be walls around our 2x2m "robot field". So our robot also has to differ between walls and an actual object.
I tried implementing a method that reads the ultrasonic sensor's value twice with a delay of 100ms and calculates the delta value - this is done in a while-loop which is only left if the delta condition is true. If it's above a certain value, the methods breaks the loop, saves its heading and continues to turn until there is the next drop in the ultrasonic sensor's value, that is when the robot turns away from the object. Then it should stop again, save its position and correct the heading angle by half the amount of the difference and theoretically put the robot in a direct line facing the can. The whole thing with the Pilot / OdometryPoseProvider works, BUT ....
The whole thing works in theory, but actually we have a hard time finding the actual objects, because the "delta triggers" are not triggered. Mostly the reason is measurement errors because the tin cans don't reflect the signal properly. Also corners between two walls lead to heavy distortion.
Do you have any other ideas how we could properly solve this problem?
// Maybe there would be a possibility to check the Pose if it might be that the robot is "looking" into a corner and ignore those values. It might be quite complicated to realize, but just a thought .. I'm not sure whether it's worth an effort.
Thank you in advance!

Black Friday Don'tsShoppers should be careful on biggest shopping day of the yearANCHORAGE - Thanksgiving may be a holiday, but many shoppers are celebrating Black Friday, the kickoff to the holiday buying season. Consumers wait in long lines at odd hours to snag the deals, but will shopping on Friday really save you money? It can, but there are several things shoppers should look out for. Better Business Bureau spokesperson Adam Harkness said that in the holiday hustle, you can end up missing deals. For example, many times, customers line up to snag a particular item, but there are such a limited number at that price, only a few people will get them. "They might only offer two or three per location and rarely offer rain checks," he said. Shoppers should also be savvy about signage. Retailers will use words like "up to" 50 percent off, when many of the items have a much smaller discount. Harkness said this could influence people to buy something at a price they wouldn't usually pay. When it comes to things like electronics, it's best to do your homework. You may save money if you can wait until after the holidays. Clothing might be an item that is actually cheaper on Black Friday. And if you want to skip the crowds, you can alway shop online. Cyber Monday is the biggest online shopping day of the year. |

Sherwood Minimus Shadow Plus
By Advanced Master Diver

About Me Advanced
Best Uses
Comments about Sherwood Minimus Octopus, Yellow:
Have been diving with this secondary reg for 10 years now, Never had any problems. 400+ dives. Great set up, its small flat shape is well thought out. The Shadow plus fits on the inflator hose between the power inflator hose fitting and the BC connection eliminating one hose. This also allows the setup to be plugged into different BCs because it becomes part of the regulator setup. It becomes the octo/inflator like an airsource. I have breathed off this shadow octo many times testing it during saftey stops, breaths easy and no problems. Breaths so much better than Aqua Lung ABS. Similar model to Genesis "sidekick" for connection.

Cheap, Temporary Solution
By TNT Diver

About Me Recreational Diver
Good backup reg as long as you plan to upgrade sometime in the near-future.I'm looking to detach this from my basic air-delivery system and attach it to a pony bottle instead.Reg becomes difficult to breath with when air runs low or if you go past 50 ft., but ultimately a good temporary reg.

About Me Advanced Diver
Haven't tried it in extreme depths,very resistant to freeflow due to horizontal build, only thing that could be improved is that becuase there is no bubble skirt, bubbles end up going in front of your face, no too big of a deal.

...currently each block(like in minecraft) checks for a neighbour and does that by doing a for loop throuhg all the blocks(around 10.000) when created and updated....

Welcome to the forum btw, you made quite the nice intro!
roid.SendDistance == math.sqrt(differenceX^2+differenceY^2)
roid.SendDistance^2 == differenceX^2+differenceY^2
The second one should be faster, as you get rid of sqrt(which is very CPU costly) and still have the core. The only thing you need to do is to ^2 everything compared to it, else things will go wrong. You probably knew that already
What are you making btw?
First things to try are: - a semi-random (or fractal maybe) generated map, as I'm highly impressed at EverSwarm's replayability rate. - Own rally system integrated in it, as same EverSwarm gets me tired because of all seed sendings at Endspiel. - An occasionally discovered nebula-like visual effect may also happen to be included, if I'll manage to make it look fine all the time and not just sometimes (consists of a bunch of huge, highly transparent, partially overlapping DrawSprite's with different colours - ID 1 and/or 5, and, sometimes, slow backdrop colour changes).---snip---Also, if anything that is to come from me has to be finished, it should be pretty much optimised. Currently using P4 2.8 (single core) / 1 gb ram / radeon x1600 pro(512). Default Eufloria runs just fine, but any lag coming from unefficient code is spotted easily and painfully

ReplyWally, I just checked out your website. It should be called 75%offPlush.com. Your prices are unbeatable! My kids would Love your selection. This is an excellent resource for any parent with young children. Teachers would probably love the site as well. My son's teacher gave the entire class a beanie baby for Christmas. I will tell her about your site. :)

Thanks, Julia! It was a totally new way to look at things. At night, I usually just focus on driving through the darkness safely, but actively searching for beautiful illuminated scenes was exciting and gave me a totally different perspective on what elegance can look like.

ReplyA seven year old proudly showed this video to me about a month ago and he replayed it over and over. Kids get so tickled by this baby panda sneezing. It's wonderful watching children finding excitement in little things. It shows their innocence.
