June 5th was World Environment Day, created by the United Nations to stimulate awareness of environmental issues. But don't click away yet. In commemoration of the day, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) is giving away several green prizes, and the last day to enter is today (June 6.) Winners will be selected on Thursday June 7, 2012 in a random drawing from all eligible entries received.
The prizes include including the Eton Mobius (a solar iPhone charger), the Eton Rukus (a solar boombox), the Nest Learning Thermostat (a home energy manager), and an energy efficient Panasonic Blu-ray disc player.
To enter to win, fill out the entry form here.
This year's theme was the Green Economy and how we are all part of it. The Green Economy is made up of 10 sectors: waste, energy supply, buildings, fisheries, forestry, transport, water, agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing and industry. Energy efficiency and eCycling are two big priorities for the electronics industry, and represent two of the Green Economy sectors.
There are nearly 2.9 billion consumer electronics (CE) devices in U.S. households and an average of 25 devices per household, including battery-operated CE devices. Home use of CE devices equaled 13.2 percent of overall residential electricity consumption and 9.3 percent of residential primary energy consumption.
The CEA advocates that when your CE device has reached the end of its usefulness, take a look at extending the life of the product through resale or reuse. The organizations' GreenerGadgets site provides recycling information and e-cycling locations to help you responsibly recycle your used electronics.

The libretto of Almira was translated and adapted by F C Feustking from an earlier libretto by Giulio Pancieri, but fifteen of the arias were left in the original Italian. It is a comic opera, full of complex court intrigues surrounding the love between Almira, Queen of Castile, and Fernando, her private secretary—a love that cannot be admitted by either of them, as Almira is contracted to marry a son of her old counsellor and Fernando is believed to be an orphan of lowly birth. Needless to say, it is eventually revealed that he has the appropriate parentage and all ends well, but not before he has been condemned to death because Almira mistakenly believes he is having an affair with someone else. In 'Vedrai s' a tuo dispetto' she gives vent to jealous rage: the vocal line has the hectic brilliance found in several arias in this opera, but here especially apt to the dramatic sense.

Is your teacher national board certified?
They are among the best teachers in the profession, undergoing a rigorous process taking at least one year.
They are told to expect a 400-hour time commitment, and less than half will pass on their first try.
National Board Certified Teachers represent less than one percent of all educators in Kansas, reflecting the dedication and skill required to earn the elite certification. The voluntary process is the equivalent of national board certification for physicians and other health professions.
Some 318 teachers in Kansas are national board-certified, with many teaching in larger school districts.
Kansas is 35th in the nation in total number of NBCTs.
By late November teachers who worked toward initial certification during the 2010-11 school year will find out if they achieved National Board Certification.

Effective in melting ice at low temperatures. Doesn't clump together when stored. Color lets you know where it has been applied.
Fast working ice melter
By Redd
from NJ
This product is made of calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) which is water soluble and non-corrosive. Unlike rock salt, it does not cause concrete, limestone or bricks to spall, a major concern if you have an expensive paver driveway and walks. It is a bit expensive but considering the damage that rock salt can do, it's the only way to protect your limestone, concrete and pavers while providing excellent ice melting.

About Me Budget Shopper
This is a wonderful product. We have been having sub-zero temps and lots of snow. We use it on our steps, driveway, porch and have even used it on the road after we shoveled out all the deep snow to prevent ice forming. Does a great job even in the sub zero temps. Highly recommend.
This stuff works!!
By busyspouse
from Kentucky
I'm female, 76, and arthritic, but i use a small pail and a swing of the arm to scatter this on my driveway and sidewalks BEFORE it snows. i continue to scatter it if it continues to snow. If I have to drive on my driveway before i can find someone who will shovel it for me, I spread more on the driven tracks to melt it away. I don't have to worry about my doggie's paws if i don't get them cleaned off right away because it is non corrosive! BUT the 50 pound size is really heavy [...]

Hi Blackwasp
I know this is going to sound funny but I am very intrigued
with your name. Are you by any chance Blackie Lawless
( Steven Duren ) of W.A.S.P. ? If not you probably are a fan.
Is there anything I can do for you since you do so much for
other memorials, i.e. - Hendrix, Rhoads, Phoenix? Would
love to visit your memorials if possible. Just a thought.
Have a wonderful weekend - best regards. Cinnamon Girl

Just curious - Have you read the new biography about the famous little person actor Michael Dunn? It is titled The Big Life of a Little Man: Michael Dunn Remembered, and you can Google the title for information. Did you happen to know him?

The prompting theme is taken from the beautiful contralto/tenor duet 'Seine Allmacht zu ergründen, wird sich kein Mensche finden' ('No man can fathom His omnipotence') which is, in turn, from Bach's Cantata No 128, Auf Christi Himmelfahrt allein. Reger asks for the melody to be played 'sweetly and always very legato—that is to say, like an oboe solo' (Bach's original is scored for oboe d'amore and continuo) and, while treating it to appreciative pianistic colours, opts thereafter to home in on particular elements of the theme rather than to vary it 'whole'. The first two variations extend the mood among some gentle elaborations while the third, with its coruscating climaxes and undulating accompanying figures, breaks the mould with typical chromatic boldness. Reger canters off apace with his fourth and fifth variations, makes wrist-straining demands on his pianist in the sixth (a lusty Allegro molto), and then slams on the brakes for an introspective Adagio, hinting at the C major tonality that will dominate the energetic eighth variation. The deeply expressive writing that follows recalls a parallel passage roughly halfway through Beethoven's 'Diabelli' Variations (Variation No 14) where, as here, the mood suddenly darkens to questioning introspection—though not for long.
But Reger, like Beethoven, was wont to break his own spells. After a lively Poco vivace and an agitated Allegro in C sharp minor, he sustains what initially sounds like a noble Sarabande, before whisking us back to the home key with two quick final variations. But this is by no means the end of the matter. There is the Fugue, a colossal, three-tier edifice, the first two episodes being four-part fugues (Bach's original melody reappears in the treble towards the end of the second), the last section combining them both for a towering grand finale.

Vol.1 N.o 9 Barcelona, December 23, 1936 Please reprint THE SPANISH REVOLUTION WEEKLY BULLETIN OF THE WORKERS' PARTY OF MARXIST UNIFICATION OF SPAIN P.O.U.M. AGENTS FOR ENGLAND: The I.L.P. The Marxist League. PRICE IN ENGLAND: 2d. AGENTS FOR U.S.A. : Y.P.S.L. The Labor Book Shop PRICE IN U.S.A. .05 EDITORIAL OFFICE: "THE SPANISH REVOLUTION" 10, Rambla de los Estudios BARCELONA CONTENTS Our Right to Speak the Truth.- Nin's Message to the Workers.- Towards a Clear Agrarian Policy.- Towards a Revolutionary International.- Morocco and Our Revolution.- Trade Union Discipline and Unity.- The Amalgamation of Industry OUR RIGHT TO SPEAK THE TRUTH One of the most fervent demands of the working class has always been the right to free speech, free criticism and inquiry and a plain statement of facts. This is a progresive human right. The capitalist bourgeois class triumphed over feudalism by using free speech, and the working class obtained power in Russia by fostering independant opinion whenever circumstances allowed. We must know what we want and where we are going and express our ideas on the subject. When the fascists organised the military rising, which brought as its consequence the civil war throughout the length and breadth of Spain — a war for which they must bear the full responsibility — they had a definite aim in mind. They meant to defeat the working class. They meant to establish the counter revolution by setting up the dictatorship of their class. The fascists know exactly what they are fighting for. We, the workers, must not allow ourselves to be placed in an inferior position through muddle headedness or indecision. We must state our aims clearly and demand the right to put forward plainly the objects of our struggle, in spite of those reformist elements who would be only too willing to silence us, and indeed are trying their best to do so. How can we limit our struggle to the negative formula of "antifascism", as they would have us do? Against the specific, counter revolutionary class objective of the fascists the workers must oppose a specific revolutionary class objective. There is no way to escape the dilemma of our times: socialism or fascism. Whoever does not struggle openly and decidedly for socialism plays unwittingly into the hands of fascism. But there are further and stronger arguments even than this in favour af a revolutionary position for the workers and a plain statement of the facts. A civil war as prolonged and hard as the one which we are now fighting requires a firm economic basis. The old capitalist economy is not suited to the special needs of the civil war. It cannot supply the necessary basis for two good reasons. The first of these is that the former economy has been disorganised and put out of action by recent events. It cannot serve now. The second and better reason is that a revolutionary civil war cannot be fought out with capitalist economic forms. It requires a new economy upon a new basis. That basis can be none other than a socialist foundation of collectivist tendencies. Our war economy must be a revolutionary economy. Of course this is necessarily a transition stage —war communism, they called it in Russia — but it contains and must establish the basis for the future socialist economy. One of the most serious criticisms which we have to make against the Spanish Governments is that they have failed to adapt the economic and financial resources of the country - Banks, transport and heavy industry - to the necessities of a long and costly war with the required speed and revolutionary energy. Our economy has been unhinged by the war so that a return to the old social regime is in any case impossible. Under these conditions, how can anyone fail to see that it is useless to speak of winning the war unless we speak of making a sucess of the revolution at the same time? To oppose the revolution is to oppose the civil war itself. However, whenever we try to express this point of view, the followers of Stalin and his bureaucracy treat us as "agents of fascism". Yet the truth which we claim the right to express is a defence of the revolutionary position which Marx and Lenin defended under similar circumstances. The triumph of the Russian revolution was possible because Lenin and Trotsky stood absolutely and uncompromisingly against all kinds of opportunism. By pushing forward the revolution tirelessly from the very begining, by opposing all compromise with class enemies and thus acting at all times in line with the interests of the working and peasant masses it was possible to achieve the total triumph of the workers' cause. Only by following the same tactics can the Spanish proletariat succeed completely with their present movement. Those who have inherited the Russian revolution are precisey those who wish to stop the Spanish workers from following the same path today. Russia has suffered a bureaucratic degeneration that puts the essentials of the revolution in danger. Apart from the incorrect political line pursued by Stalin, there is also the damning fact that day after day, under the pretext of plots which no one in his right mind can believe, the old Bolshevik guard are shot. The very chiefs of the party who led the revolution at the time of the heroic struggle against Tzarism and who shared the triumph of the proletariath together whith Lenin and Trotsky are daily being executed. Trotsky himself is an exile in a foreign land, a prisoner in all but name, and a dead man if ever again he steps inside the bureaucratic meshes of Stalinist control. It is a moral as well as a political obligation to raise our voices against such acts. We must not only raise our voices in a protest against the harm which is being done to the Russian revolution, but in a warning against what may happen to our own revolution unless the workingclass holds fast to the right to free critcism and free speech and the plain statement of revolutionary truth. The working class is an international class and what happens to the workers in one country directly concerns the workers of every land The right to disagree is a guarantee for the future. We demand the right of free expression in the interests of the world proletariat and the society of the future.

Ill go one at a time here
lim x -> 0
(e^(2x) - 1) / e^(x)-1
yeah I have no idea how to do this without stuff I shouldn't know
it's a simple thing when you learn it, l'hopital's rule. if you have a limit where when you plug in the value its 0/0 or infinity/infinity, take the individual derivatives of the top and bottom until you get something not undefined
I thought you meant (e^(2x) - 1) / e^(x)) * -1 for some reason
use the squeeze theorem. take something like 10000000000x^2 + 2 and -100000000000x^2 + 2. they're going to be strictly above and below your function respective on, say (-1, -1), and both their limits at 0 are 2. this your function also tends to 2 at 0 since its continuous.
i mean, that's a proof moreso a method to find the answer. but you could always just find the answer for yourself with l'hopital and make yourself appropriate functions to justify your answer with the squeeze theorem on the test

INDIANAPOLIS — The Tyner and Tippacanoe post offices are two of around 95 low-activity post offices in Indiana placed recently on a list for review by the United States Postal Service (USPS).
Mary Dando, a USPS representative, said Wednesday that the fact that the offices were under review did not necessarily mean they would be closing.
"They are on the list — that means they are under study, but there won't be a decision made one way or the other until December (or later)," said Dando.
Dando said that the criteria for a post office being considered "low activity" includes the following:
• Low foot traffic
• Average sales of less than $50 a day
• Less than 2 hours of work a day
"The postal service is in a very difficult situation," said Dando. "We are required to operate as a business."
Fortunately, a solution is being considered that would benefit small town businesses and keep postal service in the area. Dando said that people have expressed concern in the past about their town losing its identity, or zip code. She said that the USPS is considering having what she called "the village post office" in towns such as Tyner and Tippecanoe.
In this case, the post office would be moved into an existing building such as a grocery store, town hall, or library, increasing traffic for the post office as well as bringing more customers to the building.
Dando said that if this situation were to take place, "it will be a seamless transition, (with) no break in service."
An added benefit to the village post office, Dando added, might be weekend service and extended hours.
While the post offices are under review for the next several months, Dando expressed that residents need not be concerned.
"Should (the post offices) close, there will be something there to serve (residents) equally well," said Dando.
the us postal sevice just gave notice wed sept 5th that the tyner post office mail will start mail services sept 8 in its new location instead of sept 27th however ours was still put in the po box at the post office on the 8th. if you do not have a change of address put in by the 11th (earlier if you can) your mail (due to the closing of the post office) will not be forwarded. (nice of them to give us more notice) the post office it self will officially be closed as of sept 12th. Be sure to get your change of address in if you havent done so as your mail will not be forwarded!!! any questions call and ask for julie milliser at the plymouth post office or stop by the plymouth post office
The tyner post office will officially be closed sept 27th and will be in a centralized location at the tyner community building or you can get a po box at plymouth, donaldson or walkerton indiana.
the post office should extend their rural route for those who would rather have a mailbox at their home. i am disabled and so are a few other family members in tyner that would benefit from a mailbox at their home. i have a turn around so they dont have to back out into the road.
any questions on how the post office closing affects you call the plymouth post office and ask for Julie Milliser at 574-936-2629 or email her at email@example.com
she has been very helpful in answering any questions and in your letter from the plymouth post office to tyner residents it lists both her email and the plymouth post office #.
i dont care about 24 hour access. i want my p o box or whatever the post office choose for our mail inside. what kind of protection do the elderly and disabled have from the weather etc when it rains snows etc at the tyner community building and what about locks freezing etc. have it inside the fire station with a cut off time to pick up mail of 5 or 6 pm. surely they have some available space near the front or off to the side away from the fire truck garage.
I live in tyner and for a few years wondered on whether the post office would remain open. some of the residents feel that the grocery store is the ideal place as it would help the elderly and ones with health problems in many ways such as being in one place for groceries and postal needs. with the possiblity of the post office closing the P O Boxes would be inside not out in the bad weather. The store owners are wonderful people and are willing to have the post office put there.They can handle the job of running both businesses very well. There was talk of the rural mail delivery person in the Tyner area taking on putting the mail in the P O Boxes but having them otdoors and extending their route and hours. If thats the case great but have the P O Boxes in the store and let her deliver the mail there. The store owners can handle the selling of postal supplies and giving postal customers any packages they have. Running to Wakerton is not working out to get your packages.
Please put the Post office in the grocery store in tyner. This is a solution best for everye.
if no decision has been made on the tyner post office closing why have the government officials running the post office shut the power off? as usual we are being kept in the dark. ( information wise and power wise ). Nipsco shut the power off last week.
Apparently The Tyner Post office is closing. Thanks for letting us know!!!
Last week Nipsco shut the power off. Come on at least have lightd
s and heat until the post office is officially closed for good ( meaning mail arrangements made for the po box customers and doors and building locked up for good ).
Doesnt say much for the government office controlling the post office when they resort to making people fumble around in the dark to get their mail.

The mustang bass is the coolest bass that came out onto the market and has sadly discontinued but i don't never see myself discontinuing the use of this bass. I've been down a long road of experimenting and owning and selling gear and i must say this bass is a permanent piece of gear. From the short scale to the simplicity of the design to the rock solid tone to the quality of the hardware to the looks i couldn't be more happy! Growing up listening to grunge and nirvana being my favorite band for 12 years now i've hardcore become interested in the look of the mustang to the point where i built my own mustang and now that ive switched to being a bassist and within the last year an affordable mustang bass coming out i have found my golden ticket. The only things i would have liked to have seen in the bass is more color options and a rosewood neck. The hardware is quality, the bass always stays in tune, and its super easy to rip around on the neck. Running this bass through a rumble 350 is an apocalyptic adventure of sound. Another great product from a killer music company!

First I had my JB Geddy lee, a fantastic bass. After some time, I had some problems with my pulse, caused by working too much with computers. I love music and saw myself playing worse every day, suporting pain and making a lot of mistakes. My research got me into this bass, with a shortscale, and I resolved to get one. This was a great sollution for me, very confortable bass and this bridge is really cool. My mustang nowadays is modified, I have installed a JB pickup in bridge position and a PB in the place of the original pickup, to get me some more tone possibilities. I use this bass most part of my time and I love it!
FELIPE BEZAMAT owns this item
I've waited a long time for this one. For the longest time you couldn't get a quality short scale bass, but this is it. I have modded and hot rodded mine to the hilt. Custom order pickup, pickguard, knobs, bridge cover. It was a good bass to begin with, but now, it's my "signature model." I would highly recommend this bass.
gkh60 owns this item
This one is some kind of reduced Precision Bass, close to the same tone and feel but smaller! The neck is just great, it has a jazz bass profile I think, really comfortable and fast playing. The Duncan Designed just made the job better than decent. I think that now a days Squier is just what you really need if you don't tour the world all year long but want something cool, that has the sound and feel, for a so affordable price. Love that bass!
(Just to compare, because I got these two, in front of the Mikey Way Mustang Bass, this vintage modified has a brighter sound, which is cool and complementary to the Way's huge bass frequency rumble. A great couple those two piece of sound!)
Nicolas Taussac owns this item
Been wanting a mustang Bass for a long time now. Mainly for the short scale design. With a lack of flexibility in my hands, mostly a result of hard work, not injury, the shorter scale allows me more comfort, movability and confidence in my playing. Lots of reasearch went into the choosing of this Bass Guitar, list after list of "pros and cons" of one model vs another. Not just Fender vs. Squier, competitor models as well. Searching online reviews, local store personnel and word of mouth.
Great instrument, great price, well balanced when strapped around my shoulders, color is perrty and the sound is great too. Very pleased with my purchase.

I love sharing the cool secrets of the ROM with visitors, so it really made my day when our Name the Queen Bee Contest winner Kaitlyn visited the ROM with her mom and her brother Kynan (who also happened to be our third place winner). I got to show them around the Keenan Family Gallery of Hands-on Biodiversity and Life in Crisis: Schad Gallery of Biodiversity, as well as introduce them to a few special friends of mine who live behind-the-scenes at the ROM.
By Brian Boyle, ROM Senior Photgrapher.
In celebration of Dinomania! this weekend, we wanted to share details about a new technique we are experimenting with in the photo studio. Recently, I began to explore how the ROM could use emerging technologies to provide virtual tours of our galleries (if you haven't already heard about the Google Art Project, take a look!)
Imagine you were a Pipistrelle Bat living in the ROM's bat cave and one night, when all the lights went out, you snuck out of the cave to explore the wonderful galleries of the Museum. What would you want to see? Where would you go first?
Need a little help boosting your imagination? Check out the ROM's very first children's book – Burton and Isabelle Pipistrelle: Out of the Bat Cave.
To educate and foster appreciation for these much-loved colourful insects, the City of Toronto, in partnership with the ROM and Livegreen Toronto, has published a new book, Butterflies of Toronto: A Guide to their Remarkable World. With hundreds of full-colour photographs, this new publication shares the local history of butterflies and details on where they live in Toronto. It is part of a Biodiversity Series being produced by the City to commemorate the Year of Biodiversity 2010.

I found a blackened rock that I think might be a meteorite. How can I tell for sure?
As the first country to declare National Philanthropy Day in 2009, Canada enjoys a long and rich history of charitable work and corporate giving.
We love picnicking outside in the summer but in August and September our meals are inevitably cut short because of wasps. What are they and what can we do about them?

Taneyev: String Trios
Movement 1: Allegro
Movement 2: Scherzo 'in contrapunto alla riversa': Molto vivace Trio Scherzo da capo
Movement 3: Adagio ma non troppo
Movement 4: Allegro molto Più mosso
The D major Trio is a strongly classicizing, even 'neo-classical' conception, evoking shades of Handel, Bach and especially Mozart (Taneyev must have known Mozart's great Divertimento in E flat for string trio, K563). The first movement is a melodious sonata-form design, with an intimate and mellifluous second subject in which the Mozartian parallels are particularly close. The exposition is repeated, in classical style. The development, however, is occupied by a muscular fugue, with prominent dotted rhythms, where J S Bach is more clearly the model.
The second movement is one of Taneyev's typically elaborate polyphonic inventions, a 'Scherzo in contrapunto alla riversa' (Scherzo in mirrored counterpoint)—something Taneyev was particularly proud of composing: he pointed out in a letter to Tchaikovsky that this was in the spirit of the contrapuntal language of Mozart's string quartets and quintets. However, the piece does not sound at all academic—it is more whimsical and delicately darting in its motion, while the central Trio has the character of a heavy-footed peasant dance. The Adagio ma non troppo slow movement is a comparatively short, bittersweet meditation. The Allegro molto finale, however, is a rondo of pronounced Russian character, with lively fugal writing in the episodes, the coda speeding up to a scurrying, excited finish.

How do expertise caps play in with interrupts? They're off the table because the boss mob is channeling a spell, right?
Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
How do expertise caps play in with interrupts? They're off the table because the boss mob is channeling a spell, right?
I have just seen people like Xav and Kungen reforging their defensive stats to expertise and hit, anyone has idea what's the purpose of it ?
Does any HM encounter require you to be expertise capped, or is it just to max personal dps to improve raid dps a bit ?
Kungen is back to pure mastery for today, looks like he either already has a threatgear for eg heroics or there is some extraordinary hardmode.. but unless you don't conquer the same don't bother with it.
Xav is sitting at 42 expertise and is hitcapped, can't actually imagine an encounter where i'd need that extra +threat right now at his progression stage (Al'Akir, Nef and Elementium Monstrosity+ still up to be killed by them). At least not by trading like 5% avoidance+ 5% block for it.
So from what I gathered from this thread, hit and expertise can be mostly ignored?
After dpsing for a while, I'm just gearing up my warrior for tanking (only for heroics, I don't raid), should I be reforging out of hit for more avoidance/mitigation? Or is hit more like one of those "If it comes with it, great. If not, oh well" type of things? My stats as of right now are:
10.41% Dodge
11.68% Parry
44.05% Block
15.74 Mastery
and 4.80% hit
I've tried to gear according to the sticky on the official forums, and of course I'm still trying to get gear, as well as get my stuff enchanted.
I have been reforging out of hit and expertise on my main set of gear, but i've also got a couple of pieces of gear in my inventory for when i feel that I'm having problems with initial threat and already outgear the instances. You can almost get away with the "If it comes with it, great. If not, oh well" as long as you don't have a full set of pieces that are +hit +mastery (which is about the only place that you'll be getting free hit from).
Ask your DPS to count to five below they start unloading their DPS all over the bad guys. If they can't count to five then there are probably more issues there than can be dealt with in a forum thread.
Vengeance really has made threat far less of an issue. The only threat problems I've had have been with DPS classes AoEing before I've even had a chance to hit anything. If they can wait 5 seconds I'm ok.
<< Arcane Shots >>
I've run with a few dpsers who make it their job to do whatever they can to pull the mobs off me. It's making me a damn good tank, but sometimes I get tired of it and let them die. After a few deaths they learn to back off a little and start managing their own threat. It's a 2-way street, they should be just as capable of controlling their own threat as we are at holding our own.
yeah other than at the start of the pull, threat isn't much of an issue for me. interrupts might be an issue but you shouldn't rely on the tank for interrupts anyways.

Pulling Back Forms
We've just seen that smooth real-valued functions are differential forms with grade zero. We also know that functions pull back along smooth maps; if is a smooth function on an open subset and if is a smooth map, then is a smooth function — .
It turns out that all -forms pull back in a similar way. But the "value" of a -form doesn't only depend on a point, but on vectors at that point. Functions pull back because smooth maps push points forward. It turns out that vectors push forward as well, by the derivative. And so we can define the pullback of a -form :
Here is a -form on a region , is a point in , and the are vectors in . Since the differential is a linear function and is a multilinear function on , is a multilinear function on , as asserted.
This pullback is a homomorphism of graded algebras. Since it sends -forms to -forms, it has degree zero. To show that it's a homomorphism, we must verify that it preserves addition, scalar multiplication by functions, and exterior multiplication. If and are -forms in , we can check
so . Also if we can check
As for exterior multiplication, we will use the fact that we can write any -form as a linear combination of -fold products of -forms. Thus we only have to check that
Thus preserves the wedge product as well, and thus gives us a degree-zero homomorphism of the exterior algebras.

text: The paint from the 'Louis Vuitton' graffiti was still drying as New York's cool kids flocked to the Soho store last night to celebrate the launch of the latest Stephen Sprouse collection. Models Agyness Deyn (first to be spotted carrying the Speedy bag remember), Chanel Iman and Molly Sims chatted fashion over fierce brightly coloured cocktails with trendsetters Leigh Lezark and Erin Wasson - no doubt noting who'd done the 'Street Chic' dress code best. But this being Marc Jacobs and Yves Carcelle (Chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton), there wasn't just one party - but three. Guests moved on to a nearby gallery to check out the opening of the Stephen Sprouse exhibit Rock on Mars before hitting The Bowery Ballroom to let rip. The fash pack entered through a tunnel covered in neon pink graffiti to a venue transformed into a world of spray-paint and day-glo in homage to the late Stephen Sprouse. Agy and co were glued to the 66 vintage television sets that played clips of his runway shows and films, before hitting the dancefloor for a special performance by Sprouse's personal friend Debbie Harry. Hmm... somehow we think there will be some sore heads in New York this morning.

Post subject: Real Time SFB Questions
So I'm tinkering around, and I can assure you nothing great will come from it, but I had some questions I thought ya'll could help me with.
I'm trying to make a real time method to simulate a game like SFB on the computer. I'm just not real sure how to do some of it and wanted some input.
I am not using hexes, so all movement will be fluid. By default a turn will be 64 seconds, an impulse 2 seconds, though the turn length can be changed (and impulses are really ignored). I'll be updating all properties each frame based on the ticks (1/10,000 of a second) elapsed since the previous frame.
Here is how I was planning on dealing with movement:
- Maximum of 10 or current speed, multiplied by % of Turn Elapsed
- Half current speed, multiplied by % of Turn Elapsed
Reversing Direction
- Slow down to 0, can then accelerate in reverse
Quick Reverse
- If speed <=5, can perform
- Immediately makes speed 0
- Braking energy worth of unused warp/impulse power must be available
- 8 impulse cooldown (shared with HET)
Base Rotations
- Each rate is 60 degrees per turn of turning
Zero-Energy Turns
- Turns unit 60 degrees over 1 Turn
Sublight Tactical Maneuvers
- Turns unit 60 degrees over 1/2 Turn, cumulative with Warp Tactical Maneuvers
Warp Tactical Maneuvers
- Turns unit 60 degrees over 1/4 Turn, cumulative with Warp Tactical Maneuvers
High Energy Turns
- If unused warp move power available, can perform at any time
- 8 impulse cooldown (shared with quick reverse)
- Turns to face any direction
Erratic Maneuvers
- If unused warp/impulse move power, can start/stop at any time
Directed Turn Modes
- Turning is simply a degrees per second based on current turn mode, though I'd like to have a formula instead of having a turn mode "jump" a full point between 2 speeds.
Emergency Deceleration
- Instantly go to speed 0, and stay there 16 impulses, but power returns at standard decel rate
Sideslip (Ignored)
Positron Flywheel (Ignored)
Mid turn speed changes (Ignored)
Docking (Ignored, For Now)
Pinwheel (Ignored, For Now)
However reserve power throws a wrench into things. Basically since I can track the power in real time, the unit could have power at any given moment for any purpose, or dynamically redirect it where needed. Obviously doing this in the board game would be, well, horribly slow, but in a computer real time I can do it easily.
One of the things that's giving me headaches is how to deal with the power. For example, 1 warp generates 1 power in a single SFB turn. In real time, I'm tracking it by frame, so should the engine generate 1 power over an entire turn, or constantly generate 1 power. If constant things like move power costs are easier, but if you want to charge a weapon that values has to be divided up. I guess I'm just not real sure the best method to convert power in SFB, to power in "real time". Any ideas?

Yeah, I played the heck outta SFC. In fact, its what started me programming so many years ago.
Thing is, they didn't model everything. Stuff like reverse movement and TACs weren't in the game at all. I also don't have the source, so its kinda tough to figure out how they did some aspects exactly. While I can make broad general assumptions, I want to try to be more accurate. Plus, I'm not real sure how power should transition into the engine.
I guess if nobody has input I'll just fudge it, but I hate doing that

SFC adjusted the available power real time based on whatever speed you choose, and what gets armed or activated, SFC power allocation has more in common with FC than it does with SFB. SFC also made no distinction between warp & impulse energy as far as I know. (at least I never noticed one)
I think the basic element you need to pin down is the timing in SFC..they had it all broke down into a series of ticks (which you could actually speed up or slow down). With each tick your game engine makes decisions based on available data.
As such you have to translate something like the 2 turns to arm a standard photon torpedo into something that uses a time measurement (your ticks)instead of using a fixed # of impulses or turns to determine when it will be armed and ready.
Determine how many ticks it should take to fully arm a photon torpedo, and the total arming cost. Subtract the arming cost from the available pool of power, and then divide the power required over the # of ticks to arm.
SFC also allowed you to stop arming midstream (like for an overload)..but you did not lose the all the power. So if you decided to abort the overload in favor of a standard shot you could, and if there was enough power already applied to fully arm/fire as a standard then the torp would be ready to fire right then and there (discarding the excess).
At any rate your time measurement system will be the backbone. All of SFB mechanics that rely on a set # of impulses/turns to arm or activate have to be translated into a an amount of time, and the power draw divided across that time.
If you are local to the Kitsap, Jefferson, Peirce, Thurston or Mason County area in Western, WA state, feel free to PM me about getting a SFB/FC group going.

I'm thinking that like SFC, I need to just set some standards and go with them.
In SFB for example, you can charge a weapon at the start of a turn, and fire it on impulse 8, meaning it has an 8 impulse charge time. However, you can't fire it again for 8 impulses after, which means you could fire it on impulse 31, then fire it again on impulse 7, meaning the weapon can fire every 8 impulses. However, technically the weapon can only fire once per "turn", so it really screws with SFB to move to real time.
Essentially, a weapon can be powered twice and fired twice in 9 impulses in SFB over 2 turns, which is actually really unbalanced in a way... unless its meant to be unbalanced like that, and perhaps weapons can fire twice in 9 impulses, but then have to wait like 23 more impulses to fire again once, or could fire again twice 9 impulses after that. That thought makes my head hurt.
Perhaps I'll make it take 32 impulses of power applied to arm a weapon, and after it is fired it takes 32 impulses to charge/fire it again. I think this is in more of the spirit of how the impulses should work, but it would prevent closing, doing massive damage, and then massive damage again 9 impulses later, which can be done in SFB now.
In fact, I'd have to make everything that can be powered take 32 impulses to receive that power, which doesn't feel very star trek like. Saying 1 power is free and powering a transporter instantly makes sense, however, that would allow 1 point of power to be used for multiple different things over a turn.
And while I can easily just do my own system or make SFB fit my needs, I'm trying to model the SFB system as precisely as I can without excessive modification. I think that is my major stumbling block.

Hi Alan, Kat and All ~
This post is off topic, again, but I worked hard on my storytelling with memories of my grandparents store.
I might just make a second quick hair post later this week though, if I find the right photo.
Hope your vacation is super fun!

Suggestion: How about Scouting photos? March 12, 2012 is the 100th birthday of Girl Scouts & the Boy Scouts just had their 100th Birthday. Old scouting photos would be fun to see.

Just discovered your blog. What a great concept.
How about a non-pc theme like people posing with cigarettes? There must be loads of those around. And they are great fun to look at. The art of looking cool with a bowler hat, a cane and a cigarette dangling at the very edge of the lips is no easy task.
All the best,
Abby N.

I have an old shaving postcard I was saving for the proper time to post. I was going to do a short post, but then I got sidetracked by an old Barbers' Journal I found online.

Oh I'm tickled! I'm afraid I can't meet my own suggestion of women with facial hair but I have some hairy photos for sure! Thanks for picking one of my ideas. :-)

This gave me the opportunty to pay tribute to my great-grandfather. The moustache was just an add-on :)

My beard has grown a lot so I could have posted a picture of myself, but somehow I think that's not what this site is about. But I've found a female with lots of facial hair :-).

I have no beards to show but a good head of curls.

I've tracked down some family facial hair but nothing as extensive as William Morris Hunt.

Four beards in the family album this week. I hope hair on the head is coming up soon.

This is almost too easy, Alan, but it made a wonderful connect between several photos that I had been thinking of presenting. Embrace the fuzz.

I'm a bit under the weather this morning, but I hope to have a look around at other posts later!
I've gone on a bit of a tangent for this week's theme, but I hope you like it!

A double dose this week - facial hair and a stylish hairdo :o)

Well my post not so much hairy or bearded, (of course mentioned) but I had other avenues and bricks and wood to explore.....I hope your travels are exciting Alan, and that you are getting lots of photos!

Some great beards here. I've managed to find a full, but modest beard, and also some great "pork chop" sideburns.

Whew! I'm late to the party, but I made it.
Life interfered last week, and I wasn't able to get around to the other posters or to respond to the wonderful comments left on my own blog. This week I'll make up for it. I promise.

That's a mega-beard compared to the measly 'tache offerings I found this week :-) Jo

a theme of poses involving a dangling cigarette sounds good to me. I have noticed several cool smokers in my stash.

I knew I would find some gems in an old magazine, my challenge was finding the time to scan them in!

Oops! I just added a link, then started reading comments and discovered I'm on last week's post, to which I've already linked. Sorry. Guess I'm not awake yet.
