This home theater needs to work like a Hummer: It's roomy, high-performing and rugged. After all, it serves a family of five, including three children and local celebrity mom who enjoys entertaining.
It's safe to say that Pat Carlini and John Miller's family will get years of mileage from this basement remodel project that began when they enlisted the help of electronics systems installers DistinctAV of McCordsville, Ind.
"These people love to have parties at the house, but they also like having the theater as a family entertaining space," says DistinctAV's Derek Cowburn. "They've already gone through one [projector] bulb from having the theater on constantly."
Having three children in the pre-teen to teen range and their friends jamming to Guitar Hero or competing in sports and shooter games can put a theater to the test. Because the walls were open during the renovation, DistinctAV was able to wire for just about anything Pat wanted—home controls, lighting, a variety of high-def video sources, music sources, computer access and more—and extend the technologies' reach into the rest of the home.
A 7.1 B&K-fueled surround system and JVC projector/Da-Lite screen combo serve up the hours of daily entertainment, with help from goodies like Xbox and Wii gaming consoles, a Blu-ray player, a Vudu on-demand movie server, a Niveus media center, an iPod dock and cable DVRs.
Seven zones of Colorado vNet lighting hit every nook of the theater, from the proscenium to sconce lights to step lighting and to the starfield ceiling. Because the room includes entryways and an open window into the basement's adjacent bar, billiards and wine cellar areas, Cowburn programmed several lighting scenes for viewing under any condition. There's viewing at the bar, too, where a TV hidden behind the mirror shows up when it's powered on.
A few finishing touches for Pat, who Cowburn says loves animals, include leopard print fabric in the two rows of theater seating and carpeting, a tropical fish screensaver that turns the projection screen into a 106-inch virtual fish tank, and an animated running cheetah in the "please wait" scene on the remote.
Simple automation controls come in a trifecta of Colorado vNet, RTI touchscreen remote and HomeSeer automation software, which neatly bridges everything. "I call HomeSeer the traffic cop, because it's there to add the smart features," says Cowburn, who can support the HomeSeer system remotely if necessary.
"The RTI really controls the A/V, but HomeSeer ties it all together as the smart piece."
That includes the ability to quickly scan for airport delays and check the weather from an in-wall or remote touchscreen, and even deliver a text-to-speech page within the theater's speaker system that commands "everyone come to dinner" in a female voice Cowburn says is remarkably similar to Pat's. She might need to add a tasty dessert to drag the family away from this theater.

Should work with full reports, and trash now too.
Also fixed various bugs causing some valid reports to fail.
I've been using coolio's for quite some time, so out of curiosity, I'm starting to look at our paladin and druid tanks using this. Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with what I should look for in threat generation from them, in terms of what abilities they're using and how often.
Anyone have a short guide on what I can look for on a WWS page to get a better idea of what they're doing right and wrong, with perhaps some examples of parses of good threat rotations?
Should work with full reports, and trash now too.
Also fixed various bugs causing some valid reports to fail.
Finally got a report queue message, it was in english though. Guess Lossendil didn't localize that part.
I haven't really tested many reports as of yet.. but I did notice that it reported threat as being ridiculously low for Brutallus fights. Ex. when using the warrior-only tps calculator I would get 831. On the new pally/warrior/druid calculator, it shows 177.
Edit: this is for a warrior tank's threat. it showed the druid's threat at 178 (nothing else to compare it to, as there are no other druid tps calculators).
It should work with queued reports then, although I havent had a chance to personally test it yet. You will obviously have to wait a while, or you can just try again later if you dont feel like waiting.
Narshe is helping with spanish localization so we should have that soon. Only other language I've seen looked like chinese...
They would be, since afaik there are Chinese and Korean versions of the game. Also, I believe a Russian translation was announced some time ago, but that's still in the works, if at all.
I started allowing urls to wws reports for the entire raid(including different bosses, attempts, and trash), whereas previously I only allowed urls to single boss attempts. If you weren't actively tanking the entire raid, your tps will be low because the duration of the parse will include downtime, bringing down your average. You probably submitted a url which was a summary of the entire raid.
For example, this parse spans 4 boss fights + trash
Sifr - WWS
same player, but this parse spans only the supremus death
Sifr - WWS
I would find it reaaaaaaaally convenient if there was a link on the results page to do another test.
Did I mention you did an awesome job to begin with?
Added a graph.
I think the application is incorrectly handling bonus threat.
The known bonus threat on abilities is measured and calculated before applying the threat modifiers. However, your application adds the bonus threat after the threat mod.
In other words, you have:
T_ability = ( T_damage * T_mod ) + T_bonus
when it should be:
T_ability = (T_damage + T_bonus ) * T_mod
You end up with very skewed results for Warriors, who gain a large chunk of their threat from innate bonus on abilities. It affects Druids as well, while Paladins won't notice this problem, by the nature of their threat mechanics.

For paladin threat, I'd assume the innate healing reduction in aggro would apply to all the healing threat since its treated (AFAIK) as if you had cast the spell.
Also, I was under the impression that the 90% increased threat from Righteous Fury applied to "all holy spells cast by the paladin." This includes healing spells (Prayer of Mending only) and perhaps the power gains from Spiritual Attunement. I don't know for certain, though.
I think you're mistaken because the "innate threat" column actually is:
For example:Code:T_bonus * T_mod * landed_attacks
Nightstalk produced 907 tps
from: Nightstalk - WWS
Heroic strike was successful 36 times.
Which is what the "innate threat" column shows.Code:36 * 196 * 1.495 = 10548.72
So total threat from heroic:
which is whats shown in the "total threat" column for heroic strikeCode:(12883 damage * 1.495) + 10548.72 = 29808.8
Im a warrior so this calculator may not even be designed for me. But as it appears to work I thought I might point out that the calculator does not show the same number as the addon that was apparently made by the same person(the link appears after you've put in a report at the bottom). During our teron gorefiend attemps last night the add on showed me as having 1500+ TPS and when I plugged the WWS for the same attempt in to the calculator it said only ~1370. Also for the power gain section, I put in one report and it gave me Shield Specialization 65 procs with over 400 threat and then had Bloodrage with two procs with 15 threat (I have Imp Bloodrage so two procs equals 52 rage). I was curious if that is correct or not.
The mod is just a wrapper for omen's engine, it doesn't calculate anything itself. Omen uses the most accurate threat engine available.
The wws parse only provides partial data. This means only part of the threat calculations can be done. For example, misdirect threat is not possible from wws. Omen handles misdirect perfectly though.
My tool doesnt discern between normal bloodrage ticks and the big 10-16 payload when you first use it, but it doesnt need to. wws sums the total rage gained. So, your problem was not that it was calculated wrong, but that wws showed you only gaining 2 rage.
ps- rage is supposed to be 5 threat per rage. your post made me realize i was incorrectly using the stance modifier, giving about 7.5 threat per rage, which is wrong. fixed now.
Is anyone else having trouble with it not taking into account spiritual attunement?

The album's a beautiful example of the balance that Roy was striking in his work at the time – because alongside some of the more upbeat, catchy numbers, there's other tracks that are a fair bit more laidback, and almost abstract at times – a wonderful extrapolation of that sensitive Ayers blend of jazz and soul, with key emphasis on the vibes and keyboards. Titles include the massive groover "Running Away" – which you'll recognize from a key sample history over the years – and club cuts "Cincinnati Growl", "Fruit", "Sanctified Feeling", and "Stranded In The Jungle" – plus the more laidback cuts "Gotta Find A Lover", "I Still Love You", "Lifeline", and "This Side Of Sunshine". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Post subject: New Player: What to get next?
So I find I'm really enjoying Federation Commander, even though I've pretty much limited myself to getting the rules down and haven't played a whole scenario/game yet. It satisfies something that ACTA:SF doesn't (probably a desire for a variety of ships).
I'm wondering what to purchase next though. I currently have Klingon Border, Klingon Attack, Romulan Border, and Booster #7 (I like the war-era Fed designs). I was thinking of either the Reference Rulebook or Romulan Attack, but I'm open to suggestions.

Reference Rulebook.
With that, you can use the ships available in the Commanders Circle to see which empire strikes your fancy and plan future purchases accordingly.

Concur with Scoutdad. The Reference Rulebook opens the floodgates of years and years worth of Communique material to being immediately usable (since you will have all the rules).
It sounds like you've already acquired most of the original "core" of the game, in the two Border products and the KA supplement. Because of that, I'd highly recommend adding Romulan Attack.
Adding it really completes the basic mainline "tv" empires and there are some fun ships that appear in RA. I'm particularly fond of the Fed FFB and NCF and Romulan FireHawk and King Eagle cruisers.
Beyond RA, what to get really boils down to your interests -
Battleships Attack is a lot of fun, and adds ships for all empires. However some folks think it (and the SFB modules it's related to) are nothing but munchkinism run wild. Personally, I love the Fed DNH in it. The ridiculously powerful BBs can be crazy fun, with the right group of gamers.
The later Attack modules are things you can add or ignore, to your taste. All the modules are self-contained, so you can ignore them if they don't interest you.
Tholian Attack adds copious amounts of new rules needed for all the bizarre things Tholians can do. While I own it, I've never had an opponent who wanted to bother with all the extra rules hassle webs require.
Distant Kingdoms adds more rules, but they are less crunchy. There's a lot of people who really, really like the Lyrans and their "ramming speed" ESGs or the Hydrans with their "up-close and personal" fusion beams and gatling-phaser armed fighters. This one also has the WYNs, a simple and fun hybrid of things from several empires.
Orions Attack covers all the pirates. A good choice if you are trying to avoid extra rules crunch (and it finishes out the token few Orions already included in the Border products).
War and Peace adds the truly odd Andromedans, another empire that adds a lot of rules crunch to cover all their funky weapons and abilities. Fun, if you learn them, but no where near as simple as a "beer and pretzels" game of Klingon vs. Fed. The ISC are also in this module, with some some extra rules (about on par with the Lyrans and Hydrans). The gameplay for the ISC is also fairly unique, but not as odd as Tholians or Andromedans.
The recent Transports Attacked is another one that services all empires, but will only really be of interest to players who enjoy scenario-driven gaming. There's neat stuff (tugs can be a lot of fun), but it really is a module full of "targets", glorified or otherwise. If you mainly play points-based "pickup" games, it is of much less use.

One thing I should add to my missive above is that Orions Attack and Transports Attacked both include a small number of "tv" empire warships (of the more esoteric/rare variety), along with a few for the non "tv" empires.

Since I'm planning on getting the Reference Rulebook, I think I'd like to ask if is there a Captain's Log (or Communique or other product) that has campaign rules for Federation Commander?

Official campaign rules tend to not happen a lot in the SFU. They were tried, back in the dark ages, but too many local SFB groups had their own local campaigns that conflicted with each other and with what was proposed. ADB rightly focused their efforts on things less contentious. The closest they came to official campaign "rules" was the Campaign Designer's Handbook for SFB (which was more of a toolkit of ideas than a set of rules).
There is an official campaign system for FedCom coming (Federation Admiral), but it's been in the oven for a long time now. I'm sure it will come out eventually, but I stopped worrying about it and focused on other things.
There are several unofficial campaign systems, set up by folks who post on this board.

If you have access to Star Fleet Battles stuff, there are a number of mini-campaigns in there that might be easily convertible to Fed Cdr. Economy of Force is an easy one; you have 6 scenarios to play, and a fixed number of points (1200 is probably a reasonable guesstimate for Fed Cdr) to buy ships. Scenario #1 will feature your Battle Station (which doesn't count against your 1200 points), Scenarios #2-#5 are in open space, and Scenario #6 will feature your opponent's Battle Station (which doesn't count against his points). You have to commit at least one ship to each scenario, with the players deciding secretly and in advance which group goes to which scenario. All of the forces assigned to each game are revealed simultaneously. Points are scored as per normal FC victory points, but the winner of any scenario gets 10 bonus points. You can choose to withdraw from a scenario if you feel you are outmatched (the trusty Federation POL decides that he probably can't take the B10 the Klingon allocated to the scenario for example), but the player who didn't withdraw gets the bonus points and may transfer the ships to an adjacent scenario (scenario #6 and scenario #1 are not considered adjacent). Winner is the player at the end with most points overall.
That's a fairly straightforward campaign, and you can extend it
ad infinitum
should you desire, by adding another batch of points to each fleet (say 250, possibly plus bonus points from the previous round) for the purchase of additional ships. You could consider that all ships are completely repaired between rounds (which fits with FC's damage control rules quite nicely), or you could assume that at the end of the scenario any damage scored on a ship (with the exception of shields) is present for the next round; using this option, ships can be completely repaired if they are sent away from the front for the duration of the entire round.
You could further jazz up the campaign by allowing reserves that join a scenario after a number of rounds (e.g. roll a single die at the start of each turn - if the die roll is less than the number of the turn, your reserves arrive), and could give fast cruisers and light dreadnoughts an advantage by allowing them a better die roll for when they join the battle.
just some ideas for a simple campaign, hope you find them useful.
Nothing is quite as persuasive as a disruptor pistol on slow burn and a rotisserie......

I bought this knock off brand of ink for my cannon printer because I was tired of paying as much money for my ink as I did for the printer itself! The ink is a fraction of the cost, and it works great. It does not smear or streak and it does not clog the printer. I use my printer to mainly print documents. I don't use it for printing pictures so I can't say what the quality is for picture printing.
I shopped around for printer ink, and know the prices of the local dept stores that carry it. I had used a 'discount' ink site in the past, but this deal was $10 cheaper for all 5 cartridges that my printer (MX860) needs. (I bought the 4 shown here plus the second type of black.) The ink works fine. I have been printing documents in black & white and color, paper and card stock, with no problems. I recommend this ink to anyone who owns a compatible Canon printer. At this price, I would buy it again. Thanks, Overstock!
The colors were weird on the first couple printings, but now they are great!!
For the price these are the best I have seen. You can't the the amount of containers from any store for any brand at this price that works this good... Thank you
I purchase these before any other and will as long as I can.
Manufacturers of printers make huge profit selling us grossly overpriced, product specific, ink cartridges for their products. I find these cartridges completely comparable at a fraction of the cost. After using dozens of these, I've had one "dud" that was cheap enough to just toss. Forewarned, not all comparables are of good quality; these are excellent.
great value - low price, works like store-bought. I was concerned they would not work, be incompatible, have not ink or be partially dried out, etc. But they performed like "store-bought" and very more expensive cartridges. I am now ordering more... assuming in Feb 2014 they still have this available.
I replaced one of the empty color cartridges on my printer with your refill cartridge, printer would NOT ACCEPT YOUR REFILL.
I only bought 1 set this time to use with my canon mx870. they works great, i couldn't be happier with the them. i have finally used up all the ink so now i can review it. so now i can say i will buy again. thank you overstock for and awesome deal.
excellent deal for an excellent product. best price I found. I ordered two right away.

Yesterday afternoon's much-hyped grudge match between USC and UCLA went in the Bruins' favor immediately, and for good; the score was 24-0 midway through the second quarter, and, despite a spirited comeback to bring the Trojans within three, UCLA won by 10. The Bruins have the better record in the Pac-12 South, and will at the end of the regular season no matter what happens next week.
At a school with as rich a football history as USC, any high-profile and highly paid coach is going to have to do some explaining when their crosstown little brother thumps them in a late-season match-up. So it was especially galling for Trojan fans when tweets started coming out of L.A. saying that Kiffin ducked the media and left through the visitor's locker room emergency exit last night. (We even saw one saying he'd set off alarms in the process, but it's been deleted.) It fit perfectly into the well-established narrative that Kiffin lacks the dynamism to coach such a storied program, the integrity to lead young men, and the perspective to learn from defeat. From what we can tell, this is the report that got things rolling:
Lane Kiffin escaped the road locker room after the loss to UCLA through an emergency exit, school employees said— Pedro Moura (@PedroMoura) November 18, 2012
From that point on, there was no reasoning with the mob:

Les Miles gives you a must see speech, Lane Kiffin ducks out a side door after loss # 4. That's why each is viewed the way he is.— Scott Van Pelt (@notthefakeSVP) November 18, 2012
There's a lot more like that out there; the Scott Van Pelt summation has been retweeted 869 times as of this writing, the original Pedro Moura report 252 times. And yet, here's Lane Kiffin's post-game presser, suggesting that he did, in fact, talk to the media:
He takes blame, and gives credit to his opposition and his players. It's not masterpiece theater, but he had just lost. Pedro Moura later clarified his original report, but the clarification still used words like "retreat," and "abnormal" to describe the way Kiffin left after the game, and hardly anyone retweeted those.
Who cares which exit he took? What do we learn from this? Nothing. It's just meant to confirm previously formed opinions and fit expectations. There's generally little reason to defend Lane Kiffin, who is demonstrably a lot of the bad things people say about him. This, however, is a relative of the basest types of media manipulation, stoking already burning fires with tricky phrasing and the selective use of facts. Lane Kiffin couldn't face the media last night! What a chickenshit! Except for the seven minutes right after the game, when he answered tough questions, calmly and professionally.
It would have been a great story if he fled the way it sounded like he had—so symbolic, so perfectly Kiffin—but sometimes facts get in the way. Oh well. It should soothe everyone who revels in Kiffin's defeats that he's coming back to coach the Trojans next year.

Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) perform both simple and complex medical procedures and tasks under the supervision of a registered nurse or physician. They can administer medications and injections, perform measurements like taking vital signs, keep records including medical histories, perform CPR, administer basic care, educate patients and families about medical conditions and treatments, collect lab samples and maintain sterile conditions.
Nurse midwives assist women who have relatively low-risk pregnancies. Patients who do not necessarily need the close supervision of a physician during pregnancy and delivery can instead be cared for by a certified nurse midwife.
Nurse practitioners (NPs) and certified nurse practitioners (NP-Cs) are advanced practice nurses who are specially trained to serve as primary and specialty health care providers, under the authority of a physician. They are educated at the master's level or higher and offer a wide variety of nursing and healthcare services to a wide variety of patients.
Pediatric nurses (PNs) care for patients ranging from infancy to late adolescence. They work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as family doctors, pediatric physicians and other nurses, to provide preventive and acute care. Tanner's pediatric nurses are certified in pediatric nursing and pediatric advanced life support (PALS).
Physician assistants (PAs) and certified physician assistants (PA-Cs) are medically trained professionals who can provide many of the healthcare services traditionally performed by a physician, such as taking medical histories and doing physical examinations, making diagnoses and prescribing medicine or therapy.
Registered nurses (RNs) perform largely the same duties no matter what their specific niche (e.g., surgery and pediatrics) may be. All registered nurses work to promote health, prevent disease and help patients cope with illnesses, injuries and disabilities. They also can assist physicians and other healthcare professionals in taking vital signs, recording symptoms, noting treatment progress, looking over health records and conducting basic examinations and health screenings.

Confessions of a Failed Young-Earth Creationist

I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Does the human race all descend from two individuals? Genomic science says no, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that Adam and Eve were still historic persons.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
The 1930 showdown between evolutionist Schmucker and creationist Rimmer generated a lot of heat but shed very little light on the real issues behind the debate.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
A few months ago Zondervan published the anthology Four Views on the Historical Adam. This valuable new resource addresses one of the most common questions Christians have about evolution: how does the Adam of the Bible fit with the scientific and historical evidence about early humans?
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.

The easeful B flat Andante is a rondo. As Basil Lam points out in the BBC Music Guide to the Beethoven quartets, the twelve-bar theme 'is constructed with great subtlety; the melody, begun by the second violin, is taken over and repeated by the first before the statement has been completed'. The smoothly flowing figuration of the theme is prominent in most of the movement, and Beethoven's use of contrasting harmonic areas prevents this fact from pre-empting the always welcome returns of the theme itself. At the centre is a rich development.
Quietly flexing strong muscles, the Scherzo is unaggressive and its D minor Trio decorates a four-note descending bass. Sustained brilliance in this Quartet is reserved for the finale, in a fast six-eight time. Its key and rhythms create the temptation to compare it (of course unfavourably!) with the finale of Mozart's D major Quintet — but in this case it must be Beethoven who wins the palm for sheer mastery of movement. Mozart's theme sits down with dangerous regularity, while Beethoven's flies at once into the sky, alighting when and where it wishes, and the length and size of Beethoven's paragraphs and the energy with which they are infused can be found only rarely in other composers. Here it also generates rieh and vigorous polyphony in the overwhelmingly energetic development.
