If you were like me on my first playthrough of Fallout 3, you just couldn't do it. You couldn't pull the trigger, choose the cruelest dialog, or pal around with worst terrorists. Maybe you broke into a few houses, stole some empty whiskey bottles, slapped around a few back-talking civilians, but you never cut Moira's head off and laughed as it rolled around on the floor.
So if you're planning to play it safe until you make character number two, you might want to know: just what happens if...? We sacrificed our morals to find out.
If you don't want anything ruined for you, go be an asshole yourself.
Despite sounding remarkably like Sarah Palin, there's something charming about Megaton's ditsy shopkeeper Moira. But if charm slides off you like butter, and you prefer crushing ambition to encouraging it, you can talk her out of her plans to write the Wasteland Survival Guide. Hey now, it's okay, this way you'll have more ammo for me to buy, and I even get a perk out of the deal! See, something good comes from everything!
Somehow, we hate ourselves for hurting the feelings of a collection of prerecorded dialog.
If you've played at all, you should know that early in the game you have a few choices - one of which is to blow the shit out of all the little people in Megaton. For some reason our sassy friend Moira seems to always get the brunt of our bad deeds.

Show moreA tall tank (initially at rest) is propped on wheels and filled with water to an initial depth. The stopper at the bottom of the tank is then removed causing water to jet out and the tank moves the other way due to the rate of change of momentum. Given that the surface (on which the tank moves) is without friction, calculate the distance the tank has moved when the water in the tank has emptied, based on the changing rate of momentum of the water flowing out. Use an excel work sheet for your calculations. The starting parameters are as follows:
1. tank weight = 20 lbs
2. Initial depth = 8 ft.
3. Time needs to be in 1 second increments for your calculations
4. Cross-sectional area of the tank = 1 sq. ft.
5. Diameter of water exit nozzle = 3 inches
6. Specific weight of water = 62.4 pcf
7. Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s2
8. Initial tank velocity = 0 fps
Ideally your spread sheet has to include these columns to calculate the final distance traveled:
Time (s), Depth of water (ft.), Wt. of tank and water (lbs), Nozzle velocity (fps), flow rate leaving the nozzle (cfs), depth change (ft.), Tank velocity (fps), Impulse force (lbs), Acceleration (ft/s2), New tank velocity (fps), Distance traveled (ft.)
Use appropriate kinematics equations (for the right ranges) for the new velocity and distance traveled. (Hint: when the impulse becomes a non-negative number set it to zero; then the acceleration becomes zero and the velocity does not change; so use the constant velocity equation to calculate displacement • Show less0 answers

Manganese ( /ˈmæŋɡəniːz/ MANG-gə-neez) is a chemical element, designated by the symbol Mn. It has the atomic number 25. It is found as a free element in nature (often in combination with iron), and in many minerals. Manganese is a metal with important industrial metal alloy uses, particularly in stainless steels.
Historically, manganese is named for various black minerals (such as pyrolusite) from the same region of Magnesia in Greece which gave names to similar-sounding magnesium, Mg, and magnetite, an ore of the element iron, Fe. By the mid-18th century, Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele had used pyrolusite to produce chlorine. Scheele and others were aware that pyrolusite (now known to be manganese dioxide) contained a new element, but they were not able to isolate it. Johan Gottlieb Gahn was the first to isolate an impure sample of manganese metal in 1774, by reducing the dioxide with carbon.
Manganese phosphating is used as a treatment for rust and corrosion prevention on steel. Depending on their oxidation state, manganese ions have various colors and are used industrially as pigments. The permanganates of alkali and alkaline earth metals are powerful oxidizers. Manganese dioxide is used as the cathode (electron acceptor) material in standard and alkaline disposable dry cells and batteries.
In biology, manganese(II) ions function as cofactors for a large variety of enzymes with many functions. Manganese enzymes are particularly essential in detoxification of superoxide free radicals in organisms that must deal with elemental oxygen. Manganese also functions in the oxygen-evolving complex of photosynthetic plants. The element is a required trace mineral for all known living organisms. In larger amounts, and apparently with far greater activity by inhalation, manganese can cause a poisoning syndrome in mammals, with neurological damage which is sometimes irreversible.
Manganese is a silvery-gray metal resembling iron. It is hard and very brittle, difficult to fuse, but easy to oxidize.[1] Manganese metal and its common ions are paramagnetic.[2]
Naturally occurring manganese is composed of one stable isotope, 55Mn. Eighteen radioisotopes have been characterized, with the most stable being 53Mn with a half-life of 3.7 million years, 54Mn with a half-life of 312.3 days, and 52Mn with a half-life of 5.591 days. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than three hours and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than one minute. This element also has three meta states.[3]
Manganese is part of the iron group of elements, which are thought to be synthesized in large stars shortly before the supernova explosion. 53Mn decays to 53Cr with a half-life of 3.7 million years. Because of its relatively short half-life, 53Mn occurs only in tiny amounts due to the action of cosmic rays on iron in rocks.[4] Manganese isotopic contents are typically combined with chromium isotopic contents and have found application in isotope geology and radiometric dating. Mn–Cr isotopic ratios reinforce the evidence from 26Al and 107Pd for the early history of the solar system. Variations in 53Cr/52Cr and Mn/Cr ratios from several meteorites indicate an initial 53Mn/55Mn ratio that suggests Mn–Cr isotopic composition must result from in situ decay of 53Mn in differentiated planetary bodies. Hence 53Mn provides additional evidence for nucleosynthetic processes immediately before coalescence of the solar system.[3]
The isotopes of manganese range in atomic weight from 46 u (46Mn) to 65 u (65Mn). The primary decay mode before the most abundant stable isotope, 55Mn, is electron capture and the primary mode after is beta decay.[3]
The most common oxidation states of manganese are +2, +3, +4, +6 and +7, though oxidation states from −3 to +7 are observed. Mn2+ often competes with Mg2+ in biological systems. Manganese compounds where manganese is in oxidation state +7, which are restricted to the unstable oxide Mn2O7 and compounds of the intensely purple permanganate anion MnO4−, are powerful oxidizing agents.[1] Compounds with oxidation states +5 (blue) and +6 (green) are strong oxidizing agents and are vulnerable to disproportionation.
The most stable oxidation state for manganese is +2, which has a pale pink color, and many manganese(II) compounds are known, such as manganese(II) sulfate (MnSO4) and manganese(II) chloride (MnCl2). This oxidation state is also seen in the mineral rhodochrosite (manganese(II) carbonate). The +2 oxidation state is the state used in living organisms for essential functions; other states are toxic for the human body. The +2 oxidation of Mn results from removal of the two 4s electrons, leaving a "high spin" ion in which all five of the 3d orbitals contain a single electron. Absorption of visible light by this ion is accomplished only by a spin-forbidden transition in which one of the d electrons must pair with another, to give the atom a change in spin of two units. The unlikeliness of such a transition is seen in the uniformly pale and almost colorless nature of Mn(II) compounds relative to other oxidation states of manganese.[5]
|Oxidation states of manganese[6]
The +3 oxidation state is known in compounds like manganese(III) acetate, but these are quite powerful oxidizing agents and also prone to disproportionation in solution to manganese(II) and manganese(IV). Solid compounds of manganese(III) are characterized by their preference for distorted octahedral coordination due to the Jahn-Teller effect and its strong purple-red color.
The oxidation state 5+ can be obtained if manganese dioxide is dissolved in molten sodium nitrite.[7] Manganate (VI) salts can also be produced by dissolving Mn compounds, such as manganese dioxide, in molten alkali while exposed to air.
Permanganate (+7 oxidation state) compounds are purple, and can give glass a violet color. Potassium permanganate, sodium permanganate and barium permanganate are all potent oxidizers. Potassium permanganate, also called Condy's crystals, is a commonly used laboratory reagent because of its oxidizing properties and finds use as a topical medicine (for example, in the treatment of fish diseases). Solutions of potassium permanganate were among the first stains and fixatives to be used in the preparation of biological cells and tissues for electron microscopy.[8]
The origin of the name manganese is complex. In ancient times, two black minerals from Magnesia in what is now modern Greece, were both called magnes from their place of origin, but were thought to differ in gender. The male magnes attracted iron, and was the iron ore we now know as lodestone or magnetite, and which probably gave us the term magnet. The female magnes ore did not attract iron, but was used to decolorize glass. This feminine magnes was later called magnesia, known now in modern times as pyrolusite or manganese dioxide. Neither this mineral nor manganese itself is magnetic. In the 16th century, manganese dioxide was called manganesum (note the two n's instead of one) by glassmakers, possibly as a corruption and concatenation of two words, since alchemists and glassmakers eventually had to differentiate a magnesia negra (the black ore) from magnesia alba (a white ore, also from Magnesia, also useful in glassmaking). Michele Mercati called magnesia negra manganesa, and finally the metal isolated from it became known as manganese (German: Mangan). The name magnesia eventually was then used to refer only to the white magnesia alba (magnesium oxide), which provided the name magnesium for that free element, when it was eventually isolated, much later.[9]
Several oxides of manganese, for example manganese dioxide, are abundant in nature, and owing to their color, these oxides have been used as since the Stone Age. The cave paintings in Gargas contain manganese as pigments and these cave paintings are 30,000 to 24,000 years old.[11]
Manganese compounds were used by Egyptian and Roman glassmakers, to either remove color from glass or add color to it.[12] The use as "glassmakers soap" continued through the Middle Ages until modern times and is evident in 14th-century glass from Venice.[13]
Because of the use in glassmaking, manganese dioxide was available to alchemists, the first chemists, and was used for experiments. Ignatius Gottfried Kaim (1770) and Johann Glauber (17th century) discovered that manganese dioxide could be converted to permanganate, a useful laboratory reagent.[14] By the mid-18th century, the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele used manganese dioxide to produce chlorine. First, hydrochloric acid, or a mixture of dilute sulfuric acid and sodium chloride was made to react with manganese dioxide, later hydrochloric acid from the Leblanc process was used and the manganese dioxide was recycled by the Weldon process. The production of chlorine and hypochlorite containing bleaching agents was a large consumer of manganese ores.
Scheele and other chemists were aware that manganese dioxide contained a new element, but they were not able to isolate it. Johan Gottlieb Gahn was the first to isolate an impure sample of manganese metal in 1774, by reducing the dioxide with carbon.
The manganese content of some iron ores used in Greece led to the speculations that the steel produced from that ore contains inadvertent amounts of manganese, making the Spartan steel exceptionally hard.[15] Around the beginning of the 19th century, manganese was used in steelmaking and several patents were granted. In 1816, it was noted that adding manganese to iron made it harder, without making it any more brittle. In 1837, British academic James Couper noted an association between heavy exposures to manganese in mines with a form of Parkinson's disease.[16] In 1912, manganese phosphating electrochemical conversion coatings for protecting firearms against rust and corrosion were patented in the United States, and have seen widespread use ever since.[17]
The invention of the Leclanché cell in 1866 and the subsequent improvement of the batteries containing manganese dioxide as cathodic depolarizer increased the demand of manganese dioxide. Until the introduction of the nickel-cadmium battery and lithium-containing batteries, most batteries contained manganese. The zinc-carbon battery and the alkaline battery normally use industrially produced manganese dioxide, because natural occurring manganese dioxide contains impurities. In the 20th century, manganese dioxide has seen wide commercial use as the chief cathodic material for commercial disposable dry cells and dry batteries of both the standard (zinc-carbon) and alkaline types.[18]
Manganese makes up about 1000 ppm (0.1%) of the Earth's crust, making it the 12th most abundant element there.[19] Soil contains 7–9000 ppm of manganese with an average of 440 ppm.[19] Seawater has only 10 ppm manganese and the atmosphere contains 0.01 µg/m3.[19] Manganese occurs principally as pyrolusite (MnO2), braunite, (Mn2+Mn3+6)(SiO12),[20] psilomelane (Ba,H2O)2Mn5O10, and to a lesser extent as rhodochrosite (MnCO3).

The most important manganese ore is pyrolusite (MnO2). Other economically important manganese ores usually show a close spatial relation to the iron ores.[1] Land-based resources are large but irregularly distributed. About 80% of the known world manganese resources are found in South Africa; other important manganese deposits are in Ukraine, Australia, India, China, Gabon and Brazil.[21] In 1978, 500 billion tons of manganese nodules were estimated to exist on the ocean floor.[22] Attempts to find economically viable methods of harvesting manganese nodules were abandoned in the 1970s.[23] For a Cold War ruse, the CIA had had billionaire Howard Hughes commission a ship, the Hughes Glomar Explorer to go to Hawaii to harvest manganese nodules. That ship started a rush of people who wanted to collect manganese nodules from the bottom of the sea, which is impractical. The Hughes Glomar Explorer was actually built to raise a sunken Russian submarine, the K-129. Sadly for the CIA, the part of the submarine containing the code books broke off while it was being raised, so they didn't get what they wanted.
Manganese is mined in South Africa, Australia, China, Brazil, Gabon, Ukraine, India and Ghana and Kazakhstan. US Import Sources (1998–2001): Manganese ore: Gabon, 70%; South Africa, 10%; Australia, 9%; Mexico, 5%; and other, 6%. Ferromanganese: South Africa, 47%; France, 22%; Mexico, 8%; Australia, 8%; and other, 15%. Manganese contained in all manganese imports: South Africa, 31%; Gabon, 21%; Australia, 13%; Mexico, 8%; and other, 27%.[21][24]
For the production of ferromanganese, the manganese ore is mixed with iron ore and carbon, and then reduced either in a blast furnace or in an electric arc furnace.[25] The resulting ferromanganese has a manganese content of 30 to 80%.[1] Pure manganese used for the production of noniron alloys is produced by leaching manganese ore with sulfuric acid and a subsequent electrowinning process.[26]
Manganese has no satisfactory substitute in its major applications, which are related to metallurgical alloy use.[21] In minor applications, (e.g., manganese phosphating), zinc and sometimes vanadium are viable substitutes. In disposable battery manufacture, standard and alkaline cells using manganese will be generally replaced in the future with lithium battery technology.
Manganese is essential to iron and steel production by virtue of its sulfur-fixing, deoxidizing, and alloying properties. Steelmaking,[27] including its ironmaking component, has accounted for most manganese demand, presently in the range of 85% to 90% of the total demand.[26] Among a variety of other uses, manganese is a key component of low-cost stainless steel formulations.[24][28]
Small amounts of manganese improve the workability of steel at high temperatures, because it forms a high melting sulfide and therefore prevents the formation of a liquid iron sulfide at the grain boundaries. If the manganese content reaches 4%, the embrittlement of the steel becomes a dominant feature. The embrittlement decreases at higher manganese concentrations and reaches an acceptable level at 8%. Steel containing 8 to 15% of manganese can have a high tensile strength of up to 863 MPa.[29][30] Steel with 12% manganese was used for British steel helmets. This steel composition was discovered in 1882 by Robert Hadfield and is still known as Hadfield steel.[31]
The second large application for manganese is as alloying agent for aluminium. Aluminium with a manganese content of roughly 1.5% has an increased resistance against corrosion due to the formation of grains absorbing impurities which would lead to galvanic corrosion.[32] The corrosion-resistant aluminium alloys 3004 and 3104 with a manganese content of 0.8 to 1.5% are the alloys used for most of the beverage cans.[33] Before year 2000, in excess of 1.6 million tonnes have been used of those alloys; with a content of 1% manganese, this amount would need 16,000 tonnes of manganese.[33]
Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl is used as an additive in unleaded gasoline to boost octane rating and reduce engine knocking. The manganese in this unusual organometallic compound is in the +1 oxidation state.[34]
Manganese(IV) oxide (manganese dioxide, MnO2) is used as a reagent in organic chemistry for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols (i.e. adjacent to an aromatic ring). Manganese dioxide has been used since antiquity to oxidatively neutralize the greenish tinge in glass caused by trace amounts of iron contamination.[13] MnO2 is also used in the manufacture of oxygen and chlorine, and in drying black paints. In some preparations, it is a brown pigment that can be used to make paint and is a constituent of natural umber.
Manganese(IV) oxide was used in the original type of dry cell battery as an electron acceptor from zinc, and is the blackish material found when opening carbon–zinc type flashlight cells. The manganese dioxide is reduced to the manganese oxide-hydroxide MnO(OH) during discharging, preventing the formation of hydrogen at the anode of the battery.[35]
The same material also functions in newer alkaline batteries (usually battery cells), which use the same basic reaction, but a different electrolyte mixture. In 2002, more than 230,000 tons of manganese dioxide was used for this purpose.[18][35]
The metal is very occasionally used in coins; until 2000, the only United States coin to use manganese was the "wartime" nickel from 1942–1945.[36] An alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel was traditionally used for the production of nickel coins. However, because of shortage of nickel metal during the war, it was substituted by more available silver and manganese, thus resulting in an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver and 9% manganese. Since 2000, dollar coins, for example the Sacagawea dollar and the Presidential $1 coins, are made from a brass containing 7% of manganese with a pure copper core.[37] In both cases of nickel and dollar, the use of manganese in the coin was to duplicate the electromagnetic properties of a previous identically sized and valued coin, for vending purposes. In the case of the later U.S. dollar coins, the manganese alloy was an attempt to duplicate properties of the copper/nickel alloy used in the previous Susan B. Anthony dollar.
Manganese compounds have been used as pigments and for the coloring of ceramics and glass. The brown color of ceramic is sometimes based on manganese compounds.[38] In the glass industry, manganese compounds are used for two effects. Manganese(III) reacts with iron(II) to induce a strong green color in glass by forming less-colored iron(III) and slightly pink manganese(II), compensating for the residual color of the iron(III).[13] Larger amounts of manganese are used to produce pink colored glass.
Manganese is an essential trace nutrient in all forms of life.[19] The classes of enzymes that have manganese cofactors are very broad, and include oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, ligases, lectins, and integrins. The reverse transcriptases of many retroviruses (though not lentiviruses such as HIV) contain manganese. The best-known manganese-containing polypeptides may be arginase, the diphtheria toxin, and Mn-containing superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD).[39]
Mn-SOD is the type of SOD present in eukaryotic mitochondria, and also in most bacteria (this fact is in keeping with the bacterial-origin theory of mitochondria). The Mn-SOD enzyme is probably one of the most ancient, for nearly all organisms living in the presence of oxygen use it to deal with the toxic effects of superoxide, formed from the 1-electron reduction of dioxygen. Exceptions include a few kinds of bacteria, such as Lactobacillus plantarum and related lactobacilli, which use a different nonenzymatic mechanism, involving manganese (Mn2+) ions complexed with polyphosphate directly for this task, indicating how this function possibly evolved in aerobic life.
The human body contains about 12 mg of manganese, which is stored mainly in the bones; in the tissue, it is mostly concentrated in the liver and kidneys.[19] In the human brain, the manganese is bound to manganese metalloproteins, most notably glutamine synthetase in astrocytes.[40]
Manganese is also important in photosynthetic oxygen evolution in chloroplasts in plants. The oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) is a part of photosystem II contained in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts; it is responsible for the terminal photooxidation of water during the light reactions of photosynthesis, and has a metalloenzyme core containing four atoms of manganese.[41] For this reason, most broad-spectrum plant fertilizers contain manganese.
Manganese compounds are less toxic than those of other widespread metals, such as nickel and copper.[42] However, exposure to manganese dusts and fumes should not exceed the ceiling value of 5 mg/m3 even for short periods because of its toxicity level.[43] Manganese poisoning has been linked to impaired motor skills and cognitive disorders.[44]
The permanganate exhibits a higher toxicity than the manganese(II) compounds. The fatal dose is about 10 g, and several fatal intoxications have occurred. The strong oxidative effect leads to necrosis of the mucous membrane. For example, the esophagus is affected if the permanganate is swallowed. Only a limited amount is absorbed by the intestines, but this small amount shows severe effects on the kidneys and on the liver.[45][46]
In 2005, a study suggested a possible link between manganese inhalation and central nervous system toxicity in rats.[47]
Manganese exposure in United States is regulated by Occupational Safety and Health Administration.[48]
Generally, exposure to ambient Mn air concentrations in excess of 5 μg Mn/m3 can lead to Mn-induced symptoms. Increased ferroportin protein expression in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells is associated with decreased intracellular Mn concentration and attenuated cytotoxicity, characterized by the reversal of Mn-reduced glutamate uptake and diminished lactate dehydrogenase leakage.[49]
Waterborne manganese has a greater bioavailability than dietary manganese. According to results from a 2010 study,[50] higher levels of exposure to manganese in drinking water are associated with increased intellectual impairment and reduced intelligence quotients in school-age children. It is hypothesized that long-term exposure to the naturally occurring manganese in shower water puts up to 8.7 million Americans at risk.[47][51][52]
Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT) is a gasoline additive used to replace lead compounds for unleaded gasolines, to improve the octane number in low octane number petrol distillates. It functions as an antiknock agent by the action of the carbonyl groups. Fuels containing manganese tend to form manganese carbides, which damage exhaust valves. The need to use lead or manganese compounds is merely historic, as the availability of reformation processes which create high-octane rating fuels increased. The use of such fuels directly or in mixture with non-reformed distillates is universal in developed countries (EU, Japan, etc.). In USA the imperative to provide the lowest possible price per volume on motor fuels (low fuel taxation rate) and lax legistation of fuel content (before 2000) caused refineries to use MMT. Compared to 1953, levels of manganese in air have dropped.[53] Many racing competitions specifically ban manganese compounds in racing fuel (cart, minibike). MMT contains 24.4-25.2% manganese. There is strong correlation between elevated atmospheric manganese concentrations and automobile traffic density.
Manganese overexposure is most frequently associated with manganism, a rare neurological disorder associated with excessive manganese ingestion or inhalation. Historically, persons employed in the production or processing of manganese alloys[54][55] have been at risk for developing manganism; however, current health and safety regulations protect workers in developed nations.[48] The disorder was first described in 1837 by British academic James Couper, who studied two patients who were manganese grinders.[56]
Manganism is a biphasic disorder. In its early stages, an intoxicated person may experience depression, mood swings, compulsive behaviors, and psychosis. Early neurological symptoms give way to late-stage manganism, which resembles Parkinson's disease. Symptoms include weakness, monotone and slowed speech, an expressionless face, tremor, forward-leaning gait, inability to walk backwards without falling, rigidity, and general problems with dexterity, gait and balance.[56][57] Unlike Parkinson's disease, manganism is not associated with loss of smell and patients are typically unresponsive to treatment with L-DOPA.[58] Symptoms of late-stage manganism become more severe over time even if the source of exposure is removed and brain manganese levels return to normal.[57]
Several recent studies attempt to examine the effects of chronic low-dose manganese overexposure on development in children. The earliest study of this kind was conducted in the Chinese province of Shanxi. Drinking water there had been contaminated through improper sewage irrigation and contained 240-350 µg Mn/L. Although WMn concentrations at or below 300 µg Mn/L are considered safe by the US EPA and 500 µg Mn/L are considered safe by the WHO, the 92 children sampled (between 11 and 13 years of age) from this province displayed lower performance on tests of manual dexterity and rapidity, short-term memory, and visual identification when compared to children from an uncontaminated area. More recently, a study of 10-year-old children in Bangladesh showed a relationship between WMn concentration in well water and diminished IQ scores. A third study conducted in Quebec examined school children between the ages of 6 and 15 living in homes that received water from a well containing 610 µg Mn/L; controls lived in homes that received water from a 160 µg Mn/L well. Children in the experimental group showed increased hyperactive and oppositional behaviours.[50]
Chronic low-dose manganese intoxication is strongly implicated in a number of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It may also play a role in the development of multiple sclerosis, restless leg syndrome, and Huntington's disease. A protein called DMT1 is the major transporter involved in manganese absorption from the intestine, and may be the major transporter of manganese across the blood–brain barrier. DMT1 also transports inhaled manganese across the nasal epithelium. The putative mechanism of action is that manganese overexposure and/or dysregulation leads to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, glutamate-mediated excitoxicity, and aggregates of protein.

We need to use the DWG to PDF.pc3 with the -Plot command in a LISP script for batch printing to files.
The problem is that we need the users to select where they need to save the document, but the LISP command then select the next parameter during the save screen. For instance, if the parameter following the save dialog prompt is "No", it will save the file as "No" in the My Documents folder.
Here is what the line looks like at the moment (please note that this is working for the prompt with a printer like Adobe PDF but not DWG to PDF.pc3):
(COMMAND "_-PLOT" "OUI" "OBJET" "DWG TO PDF.PC3" FORMATP unite orient1 "NON" "L" P1 P2 FACTEUR "C" "OUI" "STAS_DESIGNJET.CTB" "OUI" "A" "NON" "NON" "OUI")
We are using AutoCAD Mechanical 2013 french.
Can you help us out please?
Thanks a lot for your time and help.

Solved! by scottbolton. See the answer in context.
You can't get the dialogue box to show DURING the print process, but you could set the filename BEFORE the _PLOT command using (getfiled,
In AutoCAD and Civil 2013 this works for me:

i.e. the PDF is created with the same name and in the same folder as the DWG.
Thanks for your answer, but what we actually need is to get the save dialog prompt to show up to manually select the location and type the filename as well.
Is it possible to do it that way?
Thanks again.
You can't get the dialogue box to show DURING the print process, but you could set the filename BEFORE the _PLOT command using (getfiled,
Thanks a lot, it worked with getfiled.
using a tilde you can bring up the dialogue box
(COMMAND "_-PLOT" "OUI" "OBJET" "DWG TO PDF.PC3" FORMATP unite orient1 "NON" "L" P1 P2 FACTEUR "C" "OUI" "STAS_DESIGNJET.CTB" "OUI" "A" "NON" "~" "NON" "OUI")
I hope I have understood the French commands...
Thanks for your reply hmsilva, your solution works as well and does the same with less code. The dialog is a little bit different from getfiled, it can be edited (resized) and you can see the quick shortcuts on the left side (same as the save dialog used in AutoCAD). In our case, this will prove to be handy.
I gave you a "kudo" as I have already accepted the solution with getfiled.
Thanks again to both of you for your time and help.
You're welcome, licences
if i want to add a counter in filename how can i do it?
for example i have a matrix of pages (3 rows by 2 columns) that i want to print to pdf: for each row by column i want pdf name row_col.pdf or _counter.pdf.
Initialise a counter variable before your plotting loop (setq count 0), and increment the variable within the loop (setq count (1+ count)). When supplying the filename to the plot command, convert the counter to a string (itoa count), then concatenate this with the plot filename (strcat "Myfile" (itoa count) ".pdf").

Giving up on California
- 1Aug 24, '12 by ercastro2I've been out of school now for over 8 months and have sent out, at the very least, over 175 applications; have had 4 interviews and more rejections than I can count.
I just don't believe California wants us newly graduated nurses. I have started sending applications out of this state and with in 1 day have already set up an interview... it took me more than 3 months to get my very first interview here in California and they didn't even bother to call me back to let me know I didn't get the position...
I love California and will forever be a Cali girl... but in order to be a nurse I need to go... . Some day I hope to return with over a year experience under my belt... then they'll be knocking down my door
- 1Aug 24, '12 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorGood luck to you!
California is my home state and I moved away nearly 7 years ago. Although I now have more than 6 years of nursing experience in another state, I have been unable to return to CA due to no firm job offers there.
- 0Aug 24, '12 by AN1324i am in the same position (graduated december 2011). passed my nclex at the end of january and have been applying for jobs ever since. i've sent out about 100 applications with 3 interviews so far (2 in california, 1 out of state). i am curious what state you applied you where you got an interview within 1 day?
- 0Aug 25, '12 by HollywoodDivaSometimes try for the rural areas in CA where you wouldn't imagine going, they hire new grads to train in hopes they would stay there.
- 0Aug 27, '12 by Assess&Safety1stAZ hiring new nurses for phoenix childrens hospital. Good luck.
- 2Aug 28, '12 by Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorThe new grad market is horrible so I don't blame anyone who has to move for that experience.
One thing though...one year's experience isn't going to be enough to get them knocking on your door. Most hospitals prefer 2+ years (mine definitely does, and it's one of the largest chains in CA). So when you hit your first year definitely start applying for stuff back in CA, but do not quit your other job and move back without an official job offer in hand.
Best of luck!
- 2Aug 28, '12 by ercastro2I've been applying in the Midwest: Ohio, Indiana, Missouri. I've also read that Virginia, North/South Dakotas, Florida, Texas, Arizona are also all hiring (I've been applying there too).
Once I find a state that seems to be hiring a lot, I do a general search for hospitals in that state then spend the day checking them out to see if they are hiring new grads or nurses with no experience. That would be my other bit of advice don't just look for new grad jobs look for anyting that says you don't really need experience.
Missouri was where I got an interview a day after I applied... I have the phone interview today and will be practically begging for the job...
I also love Indeed.com i do a general search for new grad positions but don't put anything for the state... you can get a feel for which states are hiring that way...
Best of luck for all!
- 1Aug 28, '12 by gunrockIf you're interested in moving, Virginia (specifically UVA) has a bunch of new grad positions open in pretty much all of their units. I'm originally from California but took a job out here. They also hire new grads into their ICU's and ED (so if you're looking for critical care / emergency) it might be worth checking out UVA.
Keep in mind, northern Virginia will be more difficult to find jobs (closer to DC).
- 0Aug 28, '12 by FaeriewandGood decision! New grad jobs are hard to come by in CA. Moving out of state and then moving back once you get a solid job offer is the way to go IMHO. I've known several new grads with previous experience in healthcare that could not find a job locallly but landed excellent jobs out of state. (one in Georgia, since you didn't mention that state)
Good luck and keep us posted!

It is easy to take for granted all of the great motorcycles being built on a weekly basis. Going through all the hundreds of bikes posted on Wind-blown this year, I realized just what an amazing time it is right now for the custom motorcycle scene. The creativity, quality of work, and refinement of design builders exhibit (including shed builders) these days, made it almost impossible to compile a "bike of the year" list. To give you an idea of how difficult it was for me to narrow it down to these fifteen bikes, my initial list was over forty bikes long (and thought I was being picky). When choosing my bikes, I didn't have any specific criteria I was looking for. Rather, these are the bikes that stirred emotion in me; the bikes that left a lasting impression, and stuck in my mind throughout the year.
Getting the list down to a manageable number was a challenging enough task. To pick a single motorcycle as the absolute best bike of the year, is just too much responsibility for one man to assume. So I leave it up to you, Wind-blown readers. Please take the time to cast your vote for the bike of the year in the poll below, and be sure to share the poll with other motorcycle enthusiasts you know. You've got until 2014 arrives, midnight January 1st, central time. For more information on the bikes and builders, follow the links below the poll.
Thanks for your help, and happy holidays to you and yours.

Aries April Horoscope (March 21-April 20): A shift of focus has occurred. You're seeking the meaning of life, becoming somewhat of a philosopher. You want to understand the world better from inner levels. All your life you've been focused on the outer. You seek knowledge of things greater than self-foreign cultures, new music, different beliefs, the big picture. Keep inquiring. Go to London.
Taurus April Horoscope (April 21-May 21): You think about what you share with others, especially resources. It's time for you to evaluate important legal matters. That's why they're on your mind. What sorts of things? Like inheritances, grants, loans, family money. You must re-evaluate how you feel about death, too. Both issues are difficult. You're strength maintains your courage.
Gemini April Horoscope (May 23-June 20): Although the Libran pause is over for Aries, it's taking a second turn with you. Somehow you feel disconnected from everything. From things higher and lower, from Soul and personality, from the earth and from people. Don't fret. This is a natural occurrence this time of year for you. Hold everything in balance and in check. Everything's equal. Awareness is coming. Distribution (of grace) is happening.
Cancer April Horoscope (June 21-July 20): Maintain constant surveillance with important files and information. The mercury retro could create chaos and disorder. Don't try to learn anything new during the retro, especially at work. You won't understand anything and will actually not retain information. The best endeavor now is physical exercise. I hear that groan. Take small walks.
Leo April Horoscope (July 21-Aug. 22): Things will expand creatively and artistically. Something in that area needs updating anyway. It's likely that, whether you like it or not, you'll be invited to parties, to celebrate festive occasions, to be with others who enjoy you. During this month you'll think about your childhood. And come to greater understanding and forgiveness.
Virgo April Horoscope (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Home is where you feel most safe. A winter garden brings forth your ability to nurture and you become the reflection of Ceres who holds a sheaf of wheat in her arms. You may do work on your family origins. Revive and recreate traditions that connect you with your family. They will warm you well into the future.
Libra April Horoscope (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Communication with family members, even neighbors, will be short, quick and easy. You'll enjoy bits of information from here, there, everywhere and then go on your way. Anything around learning is also that way. You learn fast, take in lots of information, then find more. Be aware that communication and computers fall by the wayside during Mercury retro. It's not personal. Everything's tired.
Scorpio April Horoscope (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It's good to plan your holiday parties. Good to have people over. Good to organize group activities and pause a bit with friends. Love and affection flow for you feel completely secure within yourself. Your intimate relationships take on a friendly air. This is needed because friendship brings about love and dissolves discord. Do this intentionally.
Sagittarius April Horoscope (Nov. 22-Dec. 20): New beginnings are almost upon the horizon. I said "almost" due to the Mercury retro. Feeling them, you arrange your appearance to make good impressions. This rearranges your self-awareness and personality, too. You may have a sort of crisis of identity. Don't worry. When we become someone new, the old goes into shock. Take Rescue Remedy.
Capricorn April Horoscope (Dec. 21-Jan. 20): So much is happening where no one can see it. This is good at this time because you can do much more than expected, see inner realities no one else can, and recognize what's needed to make important personal changes. Your Soul takes care of all issues that arise, especially distant and sad memories from the past. This will pass.
Aquarius April Horoscope (Jan. 21-Feb. 18): Friends are most important now along with being involved in groups. Something intelligent comes forth and your feelings and interests are seen. Ideas, usually unusual from you, do challenge others. At this time they are accepted easily. Follow your own mind and don't conform to anyone.
Pisces April Horoscope (Feb. 18-March 20): Work continues to be rather overwhelming. But if you ask your angels for help by making them lists of work needing to be done, they'll get to it quickly and efficiently. Praise comes your way. And Life sweeps into your living room. Re-examine your professional goals. Your current thoughts may have changed them.

After police sting, Manchester man's job on hold
Alexander Ramasci of Manchester was arrested Monday night for theft of lost or mislaid property during a Manchester Police sting operation at a South Willow Street shopping plaza. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
MANCHESTER - Arrested in a shopping-plaza police sting on Monday, a Manchester man said he's been told not to show up to work until the matter is resolved.
Alexander Ramasci, 23, who works as a part-time clerk at the New Hampshire liquor store in Hooksett, said his hopes for a higher-paying, full-time job have also been put on hold. Ramasci was charged with misdemeanor theft Monday, after he took a purse and electronic consumer good from an unattended shopping cart and put them in the trunk of his car.
As reported Wednesday morning on UnionLeader.com and in the New Hampshire Union Leader, police had set the snare at the T.J. Maxx parking lot as part of a sting operation to ensure shopper safety. But Ramasci has maintained he planned to bring the purse home and try to trace the owner.
Ramasci, who lives with his parents in south Manchester, said he won't be able to pay his bills if he can't work. He ticked off credit card bills, student loans, car insurance and cell phone charges.
"Especially during the holiday season, this is killing me," Ramasci said Wednesday.
The human resources director at the New Hampshire Liquor Commission confirmed that Ramasci works as a part-time, temporary position and earns $11 an hour. But she said she cannot talk about his status.
"We go by the Division of Personnel rules. It all depends on the outcome of what's going on," said Kelly Mathews, human resources administrator for the Liquor Commission. Asked if Ramasci is not innocent until proven guilty, she said "it's supposed to be that way."
Ramasci said he was on his way to work Wednesday when his manager called him and told him not to show up. The manager also said not to bother with an interview, scheduled for Monday. Ramasci said he was hoping for a full-time job that paid a couple dollars more an hour and benefits.
"For me to have a theft charge at a liquor store, (they're thinking) why wouldn't he be stealing from us?" he said.
Ramasci is scheduled to be arraigned Friday morning in Manchester District Court.

Just after I pushed the post button for my blog, I had two other thoughts: people might want to know where I'm getting my data about the longevity of Costa Rican men, and if I were smart, I'd write a diet book.
The first part is easy: Dan Buettner, in his book, The Blue Zones, describes the daily life of elderly men and women who live near the city of Nicoya on the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica. He emphasizes their diet, and its roots in the culture of the Chorotega people who lived in Nicoya long before the Spanish conquest that began in 1502. It's a good book, and I recommend it for people interested in diet and longevity. However, there is a scientist who really discovered the phenomenon of the old men of Nicoya, a man named Luis Rosero-Bixby, originally from Ecuador, but who did his principle research as a demographer at the University of Costa Rica. You can easily obtain the original papers from Dr. Rosero-Bixby's web page, http://web.me.com/lrosero/RoseroBixby/Bienvenida.html
And here is his seminal paper, http://ccp.ucr.ac.cr/creles/pdf/rosero60.pdf

It has been recently revealed in a report that a presentation was made by the concerned citizens, in the form of a council meeting. This was done in order to discuss about the unrest among people about the mandating of the Hydro Smart Meter program.
The program is currently all prepared to hit the Comox Valley in the time to come. "Our world has become wireless over the last few decades, as well all know. In saying that, we the public have been able to decide for ourselves whether we wanted to use that system or not", said Trudy Thompson, one of the presenters.
The group is further of the view that the council could join other municipal parties that have already passed motion in approval of the installation of the Hydro wireless device.
It remains to be seen how things go from here and how many people approve for the installation of the same. There is need for more efforts to be made for effectively planning the best of the details for the city. This needs to be done while there is still time and people can trust the authorities.

NADA's primary mission as the Voice of the Dealer is to advocate on behalf of dealers. This year in review summarizes NADA's actions.
NADA's long history of advocacy began in 1917, when 32 dealers traveled to Washington, D.C., to convince Congress not to impose a luxury tax on automobiles. They knew then what we know today: automobiles are not a luxury, but a necessity of American life. Congress decided not to impose the tax. Nearly 100 years later, manufacturing has changed, dealerships have changed and automobiles have changed, but one thing remains the same: NADA is still fighting for dealers and their customers.

It's official - next year we are going to be holding not one, but two, Spring Open Weekends!
The first event will be taking place on 21st and 22nd March at the lovely Darts Farm - our regular Open Weekend haunt. We will then be heading on to Burford Garden Company in the heart of the Cotswolds for the weekend of 18th and 19th April.
Burford is easily accessible from Oxford, Cheltenham and Bristol, and has the added attraction of offering some rather beautiful garden and home shopping opportunities. We are working with an awesome selection of suppliers for this event, who are planning some tipi styling magic for our visitors to enjoy. Kate Cullen (of Lavender Linen fame) is at the helm, with some seriously inspiring plans afoot, and tasty treats will be on offer from the delicious Parsnip Mash. We are also delighted to have Dotty Pink Designs, Acacia Floristry and Paola De Paola Photography on board - full details of our EXCITING plans to follow in due course!
The Darts Farm event will be no less lovely, with old friends Devon Vintage China, Sarah Lauren Photography and Dartmoor Kitchen in attendance as usual, plus lots more to be confirmed....
For more information or to book an appointment at either event, please call us on 01271 851160 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

New Jersey-based professional artist Jason Gluskin, just completed his homage to Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band with a new painting titled Prove It All Night. Gluskin seeked to capture the phenomenal raw energy and inspiration that Bruce & The E Street Band project during their outstanding live performances. The piece showcases Clarence Clemons on saxophone, Bruce Springsteen at the mic strumming on his signature telecaster and "Little" Steven Van Zandt supporting with vocals harmony and rhythm guitar.
Wonderful work!

Their performances are known as retro. The Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show take the audience on a journey back in time when live radio broadcasts were a mix of music and good humor. Hailing from Texas, KSBC brings their unique blend of classic country and bluegrass music to the stage. During their one mic stage show, the members weave in and out changing movement for vocal and instrumental leads, creating a visionary musical dance.
Their new CD Take Me Back has received airplay nation wide on Bluegrass and Americana radio stations.
Take Me Back is primarily a collection of tunes I heard and learned while growing up in Texas in the mid sixties (about 45 years ago), explains Karl.
The material covers songs by Don Gibson, Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Bob Wills, Faron Young, Willie Nelson and Floyd Tillman. There are a couple of new tunes, Song on the Jukebox written by Monroe Fields and a gospel song called Open up your Heart (and let Jesus in) written by Karl Shiflett.
The bands effort to entertain and preserve a classic music art form has not gone unnoticed. They have been recognized with various awards and nominations, including the 2001 IBMA Emerging Artist of the Year Award and in 2001 a nomination for Entertainer of the Year. In 2006, they were recipients of the 2006 IBMA Album of the Year Award for their participation in Celebration of Life on the Skaggs Family Records label.
The current line-up for The Karl Shiflett and Big Country show includes: Karl Shiflett (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Kris Shiflett (acoustic upright bass), Brennen Ernst (banjo/harmony vocals), C.J. Lewandowski (mandolin/harmony vocals), Billy Hurt (fiddle), Danny Bureau (scrub board). Visit the website at www.KarlShiflett.com

Throughout our armed services, there has always been a friendly competition. However, every Soldier knows that when the time comes, we all rely on each other for support. Soldiers on the ground need air support. Downed pilots need a recovery team. The list goes on. This weekend, Black Team had the opportunity to demonstrate inter-service cohesion, as they worked hand-in-hand with the Navy Parachute Team, the "Leap Frogs."
When the Airshow Needs Help, Black Team Steps Up.
Millville's Wheels and Wing's Airshow had a full line-up for this last weekend! However, Thursday morning brought bad news. Their headlining act cancelled, leaving the entire airshow in a bad position.
After the Airshow made their announcement about the cancellation, Black Team and Viper West offered to step up to the plate. Black Team planned to perform twice during each show day and Viper West offered to close out the Airshow, helping the community survive the last minute line-up change. (more…)
A Little Rain Never Hurt Anybody…
While thousands of New York Yankees and Mets fans huddled in the "Standing room only" sections of Yankee Stadium to avoid the rain, Black Team stood ready to begin their performance. "Rain? rain won't stop this show," was the unanimous feeling amongst the team. Baseball fanatics welcomed our Team members with a thunderous New York commendation! (more…)

Parents and teachers from coast-to-coast have been asking me for news sites for kids. With so much to absorb and understand, we need to discuss current events with our children and not let the television be the last word on the subject. Luckily, the following news sites are outstanding and will serve as excellent conversation starters.
New York Times Learning Network5 stars
With news, activities and lesson plans for grades three through high-school, the New York Times Learning Network really does have something for everyone. Best bets are the news summaries, daily news quiz, and the interactive crossword puzzle with educational Web links. But don't even think about starting the puzzle until you've finished your homework; it's very addictive. Other don't-miss-them clicks are Word of the Day (with sample usage from the newspaper) and On this Day (with a snapshot of an historic New York Times front page.)
Online NewsHour: Extra for Students5 stars
From the PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Extra for Students is the place to visit for outstanding news features that take a deeper look at current events (including biological weapons and terrorism.) To learn how other kids are reacting to the news, visit the Student Buzz section where your comments are welcomed and posted. Teachers have a section all their own with lesson plans on Afghanistan and other germane topics.
PencilNews for Kids4 stars
PencilNews from MSNBC brings us daily news snippets, sports coverage and short features that are perfect for elementary students. Be sure to scroll down below the opening graphic (which only links to four or five articles) to view Top News headlines and Pencil Reports (such as History of Halloween or San Francisco Solar Power.) There's also a Weekly News Quiz (it's not interactive, you'll need to print it out) and a monthly calendar of interesting historic anniversaries.
Scholastic Newszone5 stars
Well-designed and well-written, Junior Scholastic Online is a must-see site for news hungry elementary students. Junior Scholastic Online combines original reporting with an interactive news quiz (ten multiple-choice questions about the week's current events), a NewsZone RealAudio Radio broadcast, and an opinion poll ("Should pitchers have intentionally walked Barry Bonds?") Some of the content is only for Junior Scholastic print subscribers, but there is plenty for the rest of us, including an excellent Special Report on America Responds.
Time for Kids5 stars
Time for Kids is my pick of the day because covers the tough issues such as the war on terrorism, along with sports, fun features and challenging games. Time for Kids can be navigated from the front page, the pop-up scrolling news headlines, or through the grade-sorted archive of the three English and two Spanish editions. Best bet games for learning include Famous Face Offs (match the newsmakers' names with their head shots) and Trivia Time Machine (finish famous headlines from the twentieth century.)
