Vehicle Pitch Dynamics Integration and the Impact of Electrified Powertrains on Chassis Dynamics and Controls
Dr. Dongpu Cao
Lancaster University, UK
DEI - PT1 Room
January 26th, 2012
11.30 a.m.
Modern road vehicles have been considered as one of the most complex multidisciplinary dynamic systems, which are also generally required to operate both efficiently and safely under a closed-loop driver-vehicle-road environment. Various vehicle dynamic performance measures are strongly coupled one another as well. These pose considerable challenges on vehicle system design and development. Such challenges are further being increased by the emerging demands on vehicle electrification. This seminar first addresses vehicle pitch dynamics and controls, a topic usually neglected in vehicle dynamics and system development due to the complex tradeoff. A few novel suspension concepts are presented in this seminar to enhance the vehicle pitch dynamics without compromising on the other performance measures. Then the impact of hybrid and electric powertrains on vehicle dynamics and controls will be investigated, by highlighting a few emerging topics in the research areas.
Short bio:
Dr. Cao is a Lecturer at the Engineering Department, Lancaster University, UK. His main research interests include the vehicle dynamics and controls integration, advanced suspensions, and electric/hybrid vehicles, where he has contributed 3 co-edited Journal Special Editions, 1 patent filed, and about 50 peer-refereed journal and conference publications. He also received the Best Paper Award at the ASME AVTT'2010. Dr. Cao currently serves as the Associate Editor for International Journal of Vehicle Design and IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (IEEE TVT), and an Editorial Board member for J. of Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing (Elsevier) and for another two international vehicle journals. Dr. Cao was a Guest Editor for J. of Vehicle System Dynamics between 2008 and 2010. He is currently taking the lead role in compiling a new IEEE TVT Special Edition on Intelligent Electric Vehicle Systems. Dr. Cao is a Voting Member of the SAE International Vehicle Dynamics Standards Committee, apart from serving on another 4 International Technical Committees (ASME and SAE) in Vehicle and Powertrain Systems and Transportation. He also co-organizes a few international vehicle conferences (ASME, IEEE and SAE) annually.

I have seen several threads about how to store your gun in your car if you have to go into a place where the gun isn't allowed but I can't find a thread about whether the gun is left loaded or not.
I personally use the COM gun safe but I usually unload the gun before locking it in the safe.
My thoughts are that if anyone breaks into the car and breaks into the safe and takes the gun, I don't want them to have a fully loaded one at their disposal.
I generally keep the ammo with me. But it dawned on me that if, for any reason, I need to enter the courthouse I couldn't take the ammo in with me (metal detectors, etc). They would blow a fuse if I dumped a load of ammo in the basket before going through the metal detectors.
So, what does everyone else do? Do you think I am too worried about leaving the gun loaded?

Chris Cagle was playing a show at Ft. Drum's Mountainfest when he had to stop and break up a fight. He was busy saluting the soldiers when one started a fight in the crowd.
Singer Chris Cagle was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Greenville, Texas. He reportedly ran a red light at about 2AM Sunday (Dec. 15) on U.S. 69, prompting a Department of Public Safety officer to pull him over.
I'm not going to blab on here. I'll let the pictures tell the story. I made you a little slideshow from the Summer Picnic, using photos that I took (with the exception of one or two from Andrea McMaster, the coupon lady. Ok, I'm blabbing again. Here's the slideshow. Enjoy.
For your viewing pleasure, I took a sneak "group shot" from the stage. This is just one piece of the wide angle shot. Click below to see the whole thing.
Chris Cagle ( @chriscagle ) rocked the GNA Summer Picnic at the Saratoga County Fairgrounds - just as the sun was setting Chris took the stage and thanked GNA for having him back again - he even said it's nice to see you again GNA! Well, it's nice to see you again too Chris. Check out some photos of him kickin' it with some great country music for GNA at Saratoga!
Fans had a great time meeting Chris Cagle backstage at the #gnasummerpicnic - and the weather is perfect for some country music outside !
Wonder what Chris Cagle is doing before his big show at the GNA Summer Picnic? Listen to this live interview from the Saratoga County Fairgrounds.
Tomorrow is the day. The concert is finally here with 1077 'GNA. Gates will open at 3pm so get you lawn chairs and blankets ready for the music and fun outside at the Saratoga County Fairgrounds.
Saturday, August 25, 2012 GNA presents the big Summer Picnic with Chris Cagle, Jason Michael Carroll, Greg Bates, and Skeeter Creek. We understand that many people are careful and limited to what they can spend on a fun family day out. Therefore, we are happy to announce that we will offer FREE admission for children ten and under for every ticketed adult admission.
We at the Sean and Richie Show love these little "get-togethers" that we have here at 'GNA. We get a little tired of staring at each other each morning. We want to meet you, and we're going to give you a chance to be a part of our show. Here's how
Just 2 short days from now we will be outside having a great country music party with you at the Summer Picnic Concert on August 25th at the Saratoga County Fairgrounds.

Healthy Every Week Challenge Week 1 Wrap-Up: 4 Make-Ahead Breakfast Ideas
by Monique Volz in Uncategorized, May 4, 2012We're hosting a Healthy Every Week Challenge for the month of May; a month-long initiative to develop healthy eating habits. The plan is to develop a manageable healthy habit each week that will carry through the new year. Join us here and share what you're eating on Facebook and Twitter .
Hi I'm Monique and I run the food blog Ambitious Kitchen. I'm excited to be joining you all on the Healthy Every Week Challenge in May; each week, right here on Healthy Eats, I'll share my experiences, as well as provide you with healthy, creative recipes to try.
During the first week of the challenge, the goal was to eat breakfast. Now for me, breakfast is undoubtedly one of the most important meals of the day. Eating in the morning gives me energy, boosts my mood, and puts me on track to eat right the rest of the day. Even if I wake up and I'm not hungry, I realize that if I don't eat something for breakfast I'm more likely to reach for that bag of chips or candy bar during the afternoon. Yikes!
Since most days I'm in such a rush to get out the door in the morning, breakfast ends up being the last priority in my routine. Sure I'll grab an apple or a banana, but it leaves my stomach grumbling by the time the clock hits 10am. I'm sure some of you can relate; preparing breakfast in the morning can be a hassle especially if you aren't a morning person.
In an effort to make sure I'm eating something both healthy and satisfying I have been trying to make breakfasts ahead of time. I thought I'd share some of my favorite make-ahead breakfast recipes to save you time and to keep you on track with your goals.
Eggs. They're simple, versatile, and protein packed! I hard boil eggs on the weekends and stick them in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go breakfast during the week. Eating them with salt and pepper may be simple, but it sure is satisfying. On days I have five extra minutes in the morning, I mash ¼ of an avocado, spread it over whole wheat toast then top with hard boiled egg slices and tomato. Delicious!
Greek Yogurt. Holy cow is right! I love Greek yogurt. Even though there are a variety of flavors to choose from, I always opt for plain since it gives you the ability to add in your own fruit and toppings. The night before I usually mix 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt with strawberries and cherries in a container and place in the refrigerator. Overnight some of the sugars and juices from the berries release into the yogurt. All I have to do is give it little stir, top with 1 tablespoon of heart-healthy nuts (I love walnuts or almonds), and devour! If I'm not feeling like berries in my yogurt, sometimes I mix in 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with chopped apples. I usually top that with low-fat granola and a drizzle of honey or agave nectar for a flavor reminiscent of apple pie. It satisfies my sweet tooth and sure is better than a calorie-laden cinnamon roll.
Oatmeal. The nice thing about oatmeal is that you can make a batch for the entire week. Steel-cut oatmeal is my favorite because of the chewy texture, plus it still tastes wonderful after it's reheated. On Sundays I will make enough oatmeal for a couple breakfast servings, then I simply refrigerate and reheat in the morning. I think the best part of oatmeal is going beyond ordinary toppings — I love to get creative! Some of my favorite toppings include: toasted coconut, peanut butter, low-sugar jam, toasted nuts, dried cherries, a few chocolate chips, or occasionally a sprinkle of sea salt and a teaspoon of caramel sauce. If you aren't sure how to make steel cut oatmeal, here's a great how-to from The Kitchn.
Pancakes. I'm a huge fan! Lately I've been experimenting with quinoa in pancakes. If you haven't heard of quinoa, it's basically a high-protein whole grain. In my opinion the texture and flavor of quinoa can bring a rich nutty flavor to meals. Now, it may seem strange to add quinoa to pancakes, but trust me it's been a delicious success. The pancakes end up being light and fluffy. I love making a big batch on the weekends then freezing the leftovers. During the week I just toss them in the microwave for a minute or so and spread with peanut butter (it's so warm and creamy). It's the perfect breakfast to-go!
Here's a recipe for Whole-Wheat Banana Quinoa Pancakes from my blog that I wanted to share with you all. They remind me of banana bread and smell delicious! These are full of healthy ingredients, and would make a great breakfast (or dinner) anytime. (If you like these, you'll love my Lemon Blueberry Quinoa Pancakes.)
Whole Wheat Banana Quinoa Pancakes
1 cup cooked quinoa
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3 large egg whites (about 1/2 cup)
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons of milk of your choice (skim, soy, almond, coconut)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (you could also use honey or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large very ripe bananas, pureed
- In a medium bowl, whisk together quinoa, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In another medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, yogurt, milk, vanilla, and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and whisk to combine. Add pureed bananas and mix until just combined.
- Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with butter or cooking spray and heat over medium. Drop batter by 1/4 cup onto skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on top, about 2 minutes. Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside, 2 minutes. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with more melted butter (or cooking spray) and remaining batter.
Makes about 10 pancakes.
- Top with healthy ingredients such as pure maple syrup, peanut butter, or jam
- If pancakes are too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk to the batter. If pancakes are too thin, add 1 tablespoon of flour to the batter
- Sub gluten-free flour for whole wheat if you'd like
- Adding 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to batter would make great chocolate banana pancakes

Ok i didnt spell it right but i wanted to pass a comment. Many are assuming that aizen will use it on himself to make him stronger. Isnt it just possible that he needs it for something beyond that? Id guess if he wanted to become stronger and believed he could become stronger hed have used it on himself and then reused it when it gets 100% active.
So any ideas on what the true purpose is? Or can anyone point out where aizen says that the hougyouku will be used on his own person?

Lights, Camera, Kids: Shooting a Childish Spot for T-Mobile on the Canon 5D
"Just for the web" is no reason to skimp on a project's look. A few simple tricks made this web spot shine.
By Art Adams | March 26, 2012
A web spot may be seen by more people than a broadcast spot, so making it pretty is more important than ever. In this case, simple but elegant lighting and custom gamma curves made this spot shine. (And when shooting kids, "simple" becomes very important.)
The idea is this: dad shoots baby video on his phone and sends it to grandma, but the video takes so long to get there that by the time grandma sees it the baby is now a toddler. Watch:

Art, wow, this is one of the best production accounts I've read lately. Thanks so much for sharing your craft (and that smaller-flag-than-bounce trick is certainly a keeper, too!)
Art Adams: | September, 24, 2011
Thanks, Andrew! The bounce/flag trick came from my gaffer, but I'm a firm believer in hiring good people and letting them be creative too. I told him what I wanted and he came up with a brilliant way of getting it done, which is the way it should be.
Clarke L. Smith: | March, 31, 2012
Great great article - I'm new at shooting with DSLRs and lighting for film, so this was great knowledge that you kindly passed on. Thanks! One small thing that I noticed was a difference in color between the shot of the baby alone in the frame (more magenta) and the shot of the baby with the hand and cell in front (more green)... I was wondering if that was done intentionally or if it was simply a miss-dial in post?
Art Adams: | March, 31, 2012
Hi Clarke- that shot is a composite where the hand was shot against green screen. That may be what you're noticing. Kids are anything but predictable, so after we got the baby's performance we replaced it with a green screen and shot the arm element separately. Otherwise there was zero change in the lighting.
I'm not sure if I mentioned this above (can't be bothered to reread this article now, I'm working on another one ) but we lit through windows and nearly all windows have a green tint. I white balanced at the beginning of the day using light through those windows so the green should have been eliminated. As it's only that shot that looks a bit green I'm going to blame post.
Good catch, by the way.
Clarke L. Smith: | March, 31, 2012
Absolutely Art, you did mention about the green tint from windows - that's great to know before finding out later - so thanks for that and so many other tips you shared throughout your article - and I did notice that the shots I'm referring to are the exact same - which totally works in this case- the difference in color that I'm referring to though is apparent when you scrub through the movie between the two scenes I mentioned. Maybe the keying is casting a green hue?... not sure…
But this commercial looks great - a good feeling and very nicely lit and I love your notes and advice again - great article!
Thanks again.
DerickJ: | April, 02, 2012
How did you eliminate any reflections of the lights into the "dad's" glasses? Was it just careful placement of the lights? Also, I'm a little unclear about the light that is being bounced off the cabinets. So you're using that light as your key and it's being bounced twice, once off of a bounce card and another off of the cabinets?
I just recently found your site and I'm enjoying your lighting breakdowns. They've been so helpful and inspiring for me. Thanks so much!

Secondly and perhaps this is out of scope, but why was green tape used on the screen of the phone? Wouldn't it be better to motion track and retain the natural reflections of the phone's screen? Just curious.
Great write up and as always thanks for sharing!

Still, they spawned legions of imitators with various claims and gimmicks. Many toured vaudeville theaters for years and grew rich. Many more, perhaps less skilled, drew the attention of debunkers like famed stage magician Harry Houdini, who made a second career out of unmasking mystical frauds.
The occult world of supposed psychics meshed with high-tech phone banks and targeted advertising in the early 1990s with the debut of TV infomercials for outfits like the Psychic Friends Network, hawked by singer Dionne Warwick, and the Kenny Kingston Psychic Hotline. As South Florida is a hotbed for telemarketing companies and various boiler-room schemes -- thanks to our transient, diverse population -- it only makes sense that some of the biggest psychic hot lines are based here.
The people at ARS insist that their psychics are genuine and eager to help, but their blizzard of advertising gives the impression of a classic bait and switch. Many of Miss Cleo's ads promise three-minute or five-minute tarot-card readings for free; many customers have complained that Miss Cleo and her bosses don't fulfill their promises, so New Times put them to the test. We dialed two different 800 numbers that Miss Cleo said offered three free minutes of tarot reading. We didn't get them. Instead, on both lines, a perky recorded voice ("Thank you for calling!") immediately announced, "We have decided to upgrade your status to preferred customer! This means you'll never have to dial another 900 number again for psychic time!" What this meant, it turned out, was that no free reading was forthcoming. We could, however, dial an international number and get charged as much as $7.53 per minute. "Don't hesitate another minute!" the voice told us.
We hesitated (to the delight of our editors). Thus, we didn't get our call routed through the Republic of Niue. The international phone number we were given included the AT&T access code for that nation, a tiny coral island in the South Pacific that has become a nexus for high-priced phone schemes.
Thousands of others do not hesitate to call the other side of the world for psychic advice; after the fact, some complain that, for such a high price, they expected to talk to Miss Cleo herself. In reality, the people who call her 800 numbers get shuffled out by a central phone bank run by West TeleServices in Omaha, Nebraska, to hundreds of independent subcontractors around the country, who make a few cents per minute on each call. (A memo filed in one lawsuit against Feder and company alleges that some of the psychic readers were homeless people hired through unemployment offices.)
An on-line ad for Oshun 5 Communications (another company owned by Feder and Stolz, run from the same address), which announces itself as "the nation's largest virtual call center," includes a script for prospective employees: "Work from home! Full time pays $15 per talk-hour!" It promises that "customers will never know who you are or where you are at any time. You will be answering the telephone and reading a short script that will appear on your computer. This is a great job for stay at home mom's & dad's [sic]."
The ad goes on to recite what the phone answerer must do to squeeze money from people looking for a free reading: "Upselling the club or international number if the caller hesitates on calling the 900 number. You must give great reasons why the caller should call NOW. Talk about how great the psychics are and how wonderful the reading will be. You must... sound as if you are saying the script rather than reading it."
The attached practice script offers $4.99-per-minute tarot readings, begs for credit card numbers, and pushes monthly half-hour sessions for $29.95. Apparently, marvelous powers like Miss Cleo's are available, if you've got the cash, by shelling out for her "authentic Tarot Cards inspired by Miss Cleo. Now, you too can become a Tarot master like Miss Cleo. All for just $24.95, plus $9.95 shipping and handling." If the mark's interest in psychic phenomena has faded, Miss Cleo's minions also sell magazine subscriptions.
Hinting at how much money is involved, the script also instructs operators on what to do if the caller has already spent more than $500 that month on Miss Cleo's wares. Once callers have been persuaded to dial a 900 line or turn over a credit card number, they are routed to "various independent psychics," as ARS co-owner Stolz wrote in a 1999 affidavit. He was engaged in suit-and-countersuit with one contractor who previously provided a stable of telephone psychics for ARS's parent company, Psychic Readers Network. "PRN and its subsidiaries have, for the most part, developed their network of psychics by entering into contracts with entities which PRN refers to as "bookstores' which, in turn, locate, hire and train psychics to answer the phone calls which come into PRN's 900 telephone lines," Stolz continued. So don't count on getting Miss Cleo herself, even though ARS insists that she actually takes some calls.
What expertise her personal callers may be getting, however, is another story. While individual beliefs in the efficacy of tarot cards and the existence of psychic powers may vary, many such telephone "psychics" -- working for Miss Cleo's networks and otherwise -- have freely admitted to making it all up. They use what are known in the business as classic "cold reading" techniques, practiced for generations by would-be seers, that involve making vague assertions, then zeroing in on what the listener wants to hear.

Perhaps its a hold over from my film days, but doesn't anyone just shoot a great photo without a bunch of photoshop or HDR. Please don't get me wrong, I completely appreciate the talent of you who know the intricacies of Photoshop and Silver EFX Pro and the like. But what happened to the simplicity of composing a great image and exposing it correctly?
Like it.
Photo: Nicely done; shows enough of everything to describe exactly what the occasion is.
Finishing: Blacks are black, whites are white. Good tonality without it seeming flat. My eye keeps getting drawn to the post on the left and, if it was me, I'd have cropped it out. That's just my personal view though.
I wish I had the stones to do weddings!

Sleep is one of the great pleasures of life. What a relief it is to fall asleep, and leave all of your troubles behind! But so many people struggle to sleep, dealing with racing thoughts and anxiety.
There are lots of drugs you could turn to to put you to sleep, but they have hidden costs. Being drowsy and groggy the next day is certainly the best-known cost of sleep-inducing drugs. But there is another, more insidious, cost: sleep drugs reduce your ability to dream. And dreaming is a very important way for your mind to refresh, to think broadly and intuitively, and to come up with fresh, creative solutions to problems.
So, with the help of the tips in Living from the Heart (from Chapter 3), I present to you my 8 Ways to Fall Asleep Without Drugs:
- Set the alarm clock for when you have to go to sleep, not when you have to wake up. (Try to develop the ability to wake up on your own, rather than needing an alarm.)
- When your alarm clock tells you it's time to go to sleep, dim the lights in your room. Bright light tells your body it's time to wake up, and dim lights tell your body it's time to sleep.
- Continue your bedtime ritual with some Heart Rhythm Meditation. Sit up straight, and make your breathing slow, deep, rhythmic, and heart-centered. If you can, feel your heartbeat and breathe in for 8 beats, then out for 8 beats. Just a few minutes of meditating on your heart will slow down the rhythm of your body and mind. (Learn how to meditate in this manner in course 101.)
- As you lay in bed, remember that you have a purpose. Your life has meaning. You have come here to do what no one else can do. Think of your life, and remember that all of your experiences have prepared you for this purpose.
- Try laying on your right side, which will shift your breath to your left nostril, activating the right hemisphere of your brain and moving you into a relaxed, receptive space.
- Feel your heart beating as you lay in bed. Feel how your heart is like an anchor, beating steadily whether you pay attention or not.
- Now move into the Sleepy Breath, making your breath like it is when you are asleep: a heavy exhalation that tapers off, then a quicker inhalation, followed by another heavy exhalation, and so on.
- If you awaken at night and can't sleep, sit up and practice Heart Rhythm Meditation again. If you have learned the Element Breaths, which we teach in course 102, practice the Water Breath (in through the nose, out through the mouth). Feel the heaviness of water, moving downward, spreading out in all directions, washing away all tension in an endless flow of love.
I think you'll find these heart-centered meditation techniques are all that are required to restore your sleep, so that you are rested and refreshed each morning.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. Please share here.
Yours in the One Heart,
P.S. Thank you to all who have recently begun applications to our two-year University of the Heart program; all applications must be in by July 1st.
P.S. To enter our drawing for 101: Introduction to Heart Rhythm Meditation, please respond to this email. The course starts May 30th, as does course 102: The Four Elements, for which 101 is required.
This course is an excellent resource for those looking to explore sleeping, dreaming, and waking.

Tanzania Restaurants
Stone Town , Zanzibar
Tel: 255 77 728 2408
Al Johari might call its culinary concoctions "Zanzibar fusion," but what that really amounts to at this rooftop restaurant is a lengthy, globe-trotting menu that draws on far-flung flavors with origins as diverse as Morocco (lamb tagine), Brazil (moqueca de peixe), and the Mediterranean (spinach-and-feta ravioli in a creamy saffron sauce). It might seem like a muddled mess at first glance, but the kitchen's saving grace is its flawless execution, typified by signature dishes like the Tanzanian fish curry. Equally impressive are the panoramic views over Stone Town, and an elegant dining room—crisp linens, white-clad waiters, whitewashed walls—that just oozes romance. If only they'd turn down the AC and crack open those windows to let in the sea breeze! On weekends, local musicians pluck out traditional taarab tunes beside the burbling fountain, providing an intimate score.
Open daily 12:30 to 3 pm and 7:30 to 10 pm.
Stone Town , Zanzibar
Tel: 255 77 746 2311
Archipelago dishes out delicious Zanzibari seafood in Stone Town's cheeriest setting. Bold, primary-colored walls, minimalist decor, and chill-out tunes keep the vibe fresh and funky: It's the perfect place to sip fruit juice on a sultry afternoon, catching the sea breeze over palm-framed views of the waterfront. The menu relies on a mix of fresh catches and Zanzibari specialties like Swahili prawns in a coconut masala sauce. Start with the grilled baby squid salad in a spicy sweet-chili sauce, then move on to grilled kingfish with mango salsa or snapper in an orange and ginger sauce. Save room for the rich chocolate cake and delicious coffees from the nearby Stone Town Café.
Open daily 11 am to 10 pm.
Stone Town , Zanzibar
This nightly market is Zanzibar's top tourist trap, but you can't argue with a winning formula. It's hard to resist piles of prawns, lobsters, crabs, and fresh fish grilled in an aromatic swirl of smoke and served up in sight of the Indian Ocean's lapping waves. It's colorful, chaotic, and anything but a quiet bite by the beach, though the persistent, pushy touts seem bent on spoiling the fun. Try not to get too put off by all the attention—or by the stray cats pawing through the scraps on the ground. Hygiene doesn't seem to be the top priority at Forodhani, and more than a few tourists have reported upset stomachs. Ask around before digging in, as some sellers have better reputations than others.
Open daily, dusk to midnight.
236 Hurumzi Hotel
236 Hurumzi Street
Stone Town , Zanzibar
Tel: 255 747 423 266
One of two restaurants in the gorgeous 236 Hurumzi Hotel, this one is dedicated to Bi Kidude, Zanzibar's oldest living performer of taarab (a type of Swahili music). By day, the casual menu includes hefty pita sandwiches and light snacks; at night, the chef draws inspiration from the cuisines of the African diaspora, from Arabia and Africa to the Caribbean and America's Cajun country. The menu might include calamari with passion-fruit dressing, pumpkin coconut soup, and calypso chicken with coconut rice and beans. As you enter the hotel, Kidude's door is on the left. Ask at the front desk for more info; the hours at Kidude are notoriously erratic.
Stone Town , Zanzibar
Tel: 255 77 747 2792
La Fenice claims to have the best gelato in Zanzibar, but you'll have a hard time saving room for it amid the menu's litany of rich Italian dishes. Creamy risottos, pastas smothered in seafood sauces, and a broad range of reliable grills—of both the surf and turf variety—are among the more traditional offerings. But La Fenice really shines in its more creative dishes, such as the marinated dorado with avocado or crab claws in a ginger and almond sauce. The service is friendly, if not altogether brisk, and the breezy waterfront setting is atmospheric. Though the main dining room is tastefully furnished with African masks and Swahili bric-a-brac, the veranda is a better spot to watch the waves by day or stargaze at night.
Open daily 11 am to 10 pm.
Stone Town , Zanzibar
Tel: 255 77 316 4939
Stone Town's hottest hangout is the perfect marriage of style and substance. Livingstone combines creative spins on Zanzibari cuisine with breezy beachside real estate and an attractive dining room decked out with hand-carved Swahili furniture and works by local artists. Light bites like spring rolls with a coriander, mango, and yogurt salsa are good for an afternoon nibble; in the evening, there's a feast of fresh catches simmered in coconut milk, dry-rubbed with Zanzibari spices, or stuffed with a mango and cilantro sauce. With candlelit tables planted in the sand and starlit waves crashing on the shore, open-air dining hits a pitch-perfect note for romance. On the weekend, live music draws a mix of tourists and locals to the dance floor and you might struggle to find a cozy corner, but the tropical beats (and a lengthy cocktail list) offer a taste of Stone Town at its flirty finest.
Open daily noon to 4:30 pm and 6:30 to 10:30 pm.
Stone Town , Zanzibar
Tel: 255 77 741 3081
With a lively beachfront setting and some of the best sunset views around, Mercury's is as much a Stone Town icon as the Old Fort. Named for Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, who was born just down the road, this busy hangout serves up an eclectic menu with everything from fajitas and fish tacos to pastas and curries. Red snapper in green curry and grilled tuna with pesto mayo stand out among a host of good, if not unforgettable, fish dishes; more reliable are the delicious thin-crust pizzas. In the evening, with the sun dipping toward the ocean and local fishermen playing soccer in the sand, there's no better place to drink a cold Kilimanjaro beer. Live weekend music—from Congolese drummers to traditional taarab groups—packs in the tourist crowds.
Open daily noon to midnight.
Stone Town , Zanzibar
Tel: 255 78 687 9696
With its bright tapestries, faux-crystal chandelier, and animal-print banquettes, the Silk Route is more gaudy than Goa, but the delicious tandoori dishes and spicy curries certainly make up for it. You might need some help to navigate the massive menu; let the staff steer you toward dishes like lamb in a creamy cashew sauce or jumbo shrimp in a rich butter sauce accented by ginger, garlic, coconut, and raisins. The Silk Route is also among the best Stone Town options for vegetarians, with dishes such as vegetable korma dressed in saffron, raisins, and nuts. The popular, prix-fixe lunch is served buffet-style. Be sure to wash it down with a refreshing mango lassi—perfect for those sticky Stone Town afternoons.
Open daily noon to 3 pm and 6:30 to 11 pm.
Stone Town , Zanzibar
Tel: 255 24 223 2784
The rooftop restaurant of the 236 Hurumzi Hotel is a popular setting for marriage proposals, and it's easy to see why. It boasts a sultan's-eye view of the Indian Ocean and the town's minarets and spires. Guests shed their shoes at the entrance and loll on bright pillows at low tables set on Persian carpets. The menu changes daily, with dishes featuring local vegetables, seafood, and spice-scented rice (expect to see dishes like kingfish in spice and onion sauce, served with raisin-studded rice and spinach with coconut milk). Dinner reservations are essential, and vegetarians should call ahead to be sure that the chef can accommodate them. Kidude, a more casual restaurant on 236 Hurumzi's ground floor, offers lighter fare in a cozy indoor setting cluttered with local paintings and objets d'art.
Open daily noon to 3:30 pm and 7 to 10 pm.

Great Family Fun!
My family and I had a great time in the cabin and on the slopes of Eagle Point. The cabin was a perfect size for our family of 5. It's also wonderfully located directly across the road from the main lodge and shuttle pickup/drop-off. We enjoyed or evening fires while playing family games or watching movies. The cabin owner made himself accessible and responded quickly to all requests.

B & B Outfitters - Texas Aoudad
Come join B & B Outfitters on our 300,000 plus acre Aoudad ranch located in the Chianti and Davis Mountain Range in West Texas for one of the most challenging and rewarding free ranging Aoudad spot and stalk hunts you will ever experience.
Texas is home to more free ranging Aoudad than any other place in the world, even in their native home of North Africa. Aoudads are exceptionally tough animals and will give even the best hunter a very challenging hunt.
To ensure trophy quality Aoudad for all our hunters, we will only take 10 Aoudad off the ranch per year. Most Aoudad will score 30 plus inches. We prefer to take no more than 4 hunters at a time due to the spot and stalk type of hunting.
Even though Aoudad can be hunted year round, we conduct our hunts perferably in the cooler months, but we can accomodate you anytime. All Aoudad hunts include meals, lodging, guides, transportation on the ranch, and care of the game.

I wonder what the hold-up is with SSD drives. The capacity is still relatively low and the prices are still really high. If this is aimed at video pros, 1 TB is a laughably small drive.

Actually, it is. 2x512 GB of PCIe SSD is over $1,000 by itself.
You're pretty much getting a 2-drive enclosure with a heatsink, fan, TB2 controller and cable for free if you were in the market for 2x512GB of PCIe SSD. Of course it's targeted at a niche market, but that doesn't make the price bad for what it is. |

Two things that stick in my memory
1) Looking through the Windows 95 help guide we got with a PC back in 1995, it showed a computer with two hard drives. I never thought I'd afford a computer with more than one (now I have about 12.5TB) 2) When I got my iMac DV 400 (Blueberry) I never thought I'd be able to afford anything USB as it was so expensive at the time. Now when I look at any Thunderbolt peripherals I think I'm never going to afford anything Thunderbolt....Then a story like this comes out and I'm pretty sure I'll still never be able to afford anything Thunderbolt pac

500GB SSD go for under $250 for SATAIII but that's not what's in this device. For PCIe SSD at the speed LaCie's device (supposedly) delivers retail price for 480GB drives (OCZ) is >$1400 per drive (slower ones from lower quality manufacturers can be had for around $700) if you shop around for the best price, most of the time they are listed for around $2000. I looked around and found a refurbished one for about $800.
So $1300 for 1TB worth and write speeds of around 1200 MB/s in a Thunderbolt 2 enclosure is quite a good price for what you get. |

Too many people don't realize there are big differences in SSDs, just like there is with regular hard disk drives. A lot of computer makers don't want you to know this however because simply saying SSD automatically makes sales even if they use the slowest/cheapest SSD available.

It looks good but I refuse to buy anything from LaCie ever again. Had way too many hard drives break and terrible customer service.
I'll stick with OWC for now even though they are slow to market. |

RAID 0 is a stripe set, so both drives run in parallel. So, if I do the math correctly "Those drives" would do 2x830 r, 2x810 w, so faster.

And be more expensive than a single Lacie. I think the Lacie is reasonably priced for what it offers. If I had the cach I'd buy two and run in parallel to get 2.6 GB/sec. Or even go 3x, almost 4GB/sec.

For what it is, that is downright cheap. This product isn't aimed at people who need terabytes upon terabytes of storage where speed doesn't matter. This product isn't for people who only need a tiny amount of very-fast storage. This product is for people who need a large amount of very-fast storage. This is for scratch file storage for video editing - when you want immediate access to an hour or two worth of 4K video for maximum editing speed. You use slower mass storage for longer term storage, but for the five-minute segment you're editing RIGHT NOW, you want all relevant footage available instantly. It's not like the editor of The Hobbit (or any other 3 hour movie) will need all of the raw footage for all three hours of the finished film available all at once. He/she will need the raw footage for the current SHOT, maybe the current scene. But not all 30 TB (or more) of raw footage for the whole movie. With current formats, 2 TB (two of these) is just enough for a normal workflow. I'm sure in a few years, more will be necessary (actually, my example of The Hobbit is one such, since it's in 3D at double framerate,) but for most video professionals, this will be sufficient. There are other similar uses - large scale graphic design, for example. But this is well priced and specced for what it's target market is. |

That's exactly why the Promise Pegasus v2 devices exist: LARGE pro projects. And why the bigger models have 6- or 8-drive enclosures: to give volume AND speed. A pro who needs fastest speed PLUS a certain amount of storage would possibly use TWO OR MORE Pegasus units to achieve faster speeds using emptier disks (as more empty disks spin faster), hence would be better having 8x 4TB drives half empty, rather than 8x 3TB drives nearly full. This review offers 950MBps for an R8, so more than one unit would achieve maybe double that, three even more, etc. http://www.larryjordan.biz/product-r...-pegasus2-raid I use 2x Pegasus v1 R6's (for storage, though), and they're really great and pretty simple to use through their intuitive GUI to set-up and keep tabs on: 24TB in each (20TB usable after RAID 5) by adding my own (non-enterprise standard) 4TB HDDs to them, one R6 backs-up to the other. I did get a really great deal on them though, otherwise they're a bit overkill for mass storage (most would either use USB 3 DAS or Gig-E NAS – mine are connected to an always-on Mac Mini so are effectively networked continually), but at least I know they should be good for my storage needs (with PLENTY of speed and very little latency) for the next few years, lol!

If you're working with 4k, the bitrate is nearly 500mb/s. One hour of footage will eat up over 1.5 TB of storage. I guess if you're working with lower resolutions or short clips, it might be enough storage. But very soon, 4k will be the low-end standard. I suppose if you're a "pro" you could afford a few of these and chain them together.

The Pakistani violation of the Line of Control in Poonch on Tuesday, and the incursion of its soldiers 600 metres inside Indian territory, where they killed and beheaded two jawans, raises serious questions. Not least, it raises the spectre of the Pakistani ingress in Kargil in 1999. Kargil touches a raw nerve here, although it saw the abject retreat of Pakistan's forces and its disgracing in world forums.
The Tuesday violation follows border skirmishes in the Uri sector in the Kashmir Valley. Such episodes are bound to make us ask how serious is Pakistan about pushing the bilateral peace programme, which has had a halting start in the past year. Thanks to India walking the extra mile in spite of Islamabad's obstructionist attitude on 26/11, a positive rhythm has been imparted to bilateral ties of late. Does Pakistan now wish to impair the state of play? India must make an assessment and take suitable action on the military and diplomatic fronts.
A Wednesday press release of the Pakistan high commission suggests that the Poonch incident be investigated by the UN Military Observer Group for India and Pakistan. This is propagandistic and provocative. The body in question exists only on paper. It was created decades ago to needle India on Kashmir at the behest of Pakistan's Western bloc supporters. A reference to it speaks of Pakistan's continued mischief-making in Kashmir.

EDIT: I realized this made no sense. I made a flickr, it doesn't have very many pictures on it, but I'm working on that. Friday started everything off, and quite well. I went downtown with my best friend and texted our very own Fiona from oasis. That is one cool chica right there.
Saturday was CRAZY. My grandparents came over, I helped make dinner and my friends stayed late and we watched Velvet Goldmine (which is amazing). It's based on Bowie and Pop's life and it's SUPER Gay, I think my friend liked it better though.
Sunday: My family and I went four wheeling and OMG it was so much fun. I wish I could do that more often.
Today: I baked cupcakes for my friend's birthday and spelled out "happy birthday siddybear" with all the cupcakes. xDD I love her.
And I set up a flickr with pictures from yesterday. I think it should work. There is also a picture of me post hair cut. I have curly hair, and I straightened it. So that picture is on there. So, hopefully it works. Comment if it doesn't. Later. http://www.flickr.com/photos/38745215@N05/

Eadweard Muybridge. In 1874 he shot and killed Major Harry Larkyns, his wife's lover, but was acquitted in a jury trial on the grounds of justifiable homicide.[3] He travelled for more than a year in Central America on a photographic expedition in 1875.
In the 1880s, Muybridge entered a very productive period at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, producing over 100,000 images of animals and humans in motion, capturing what the human eye could not distinguish as separate movements. He spent much of his later years giving public lectures and demonstrations of his photography and early motion picture sequences, traveling back to England and Europe to publicise his work.
Unit 731. Unit 731 (731部隊, Nana-san-ichi butai?
, Chinese: 731部队) was a covert biological and chemical warfare research and development unit of the Imperial Japanese Army that undertook lethal human experimentation during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) and World War II. It was responsible for some of the most notorious war crimes carried out by Japanese personnel. Unit 731 was based at the Pingfang district of Harbin, the largest city in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo (now Northeast China).
It was officially known as the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantung Army (関東軍防疫給水部本部, Kantōgun Bōeki Kyūsuibu Honbu?). Originally set up under the Kempeitai military police of the Empire of Japan, Unit 731 was taken over and commanded until the end of the war by General Shiro Ishii, an officer in the Kwantung Army. Anaximander. Anaximander (/əˌnæksɨˈmændər/; Greek: Ἀναξίμανδρος Anaximandros; c. 610 – c. 546 BC) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived in Miletus,[1] a city of Ionia; Milet in modern Turkey. He belonged to the Milesian school and learned the teachings of his master Thales. He succeeded Thales and became the second master of that school where he counted Anaximenes and arguably, Pythagoras amongst his pupils. Little of his life and work is known today. According to available historical documents, he is the first philosopher known to have written down his studies,[2] although only one fragment of his work remains.
Gottfried Leibniz. Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (German: [ˈɡɔtfʁiːt ˈvɪlhɛlm fɔn ˈlaɪbnɪts][4] or [ˈlaɪpnɪts][5]) (July 1, 1646 – November 14, 1716) was a German mathematician and philosopher. He occupies a prominent place in the history of mathematics and the history of philosophy. Leibniz developed the infinitesimal calculus independently of Isaac Newton, and Leibniz's mathematical notation has been widely used ever since it was published. It was only in the 20th century that his Law of Continuity and Transcendental Law of Homogeneity found mathematical implementation (by means of non-standard analysis). He became one of the most prolific inventors in the field of mechanical calculators. Best of all possible worlds. The phrase "the best of all possible worlds" (French: le meilleur des mondes possibles; German: Die beste aller möglichen Welten) was coined by the German polymath Gottfried Leibniz in his 1710 work Essais de Théodicée sur la bonté de Dieu, la liberté de l'homme et l'origine du mal (Essays on the Goodness of God, the Freedom of Man and the Origin of Evil).
The claim that the actual world is the best of all possible worlds is the central argument in Leibniz's theodicy, or his attempt to solve the problem of evil. The problem of evil[edit] Among his many philosophical interests and concerns, Leibniz took on this question of theodicy: If God is omnibenevolent, omnipotent and omniscient, how do we account for the suffering and injustice that exist in the world? Historically, attempts to answer the question have been made using various arguments, for example, by explaining away evil or reconciling evil with good. Free will versus determinism[edit] John Law (economist)
John Law (baptised 21 April 1671 – 21 March 1729) was a Scottish economist who believed that money was only a means of exchange that did not constitute wealth in itself and that national wealth depended on trade.
He was appointed Controller General of Finances of France under King Louis XV. In 1716 Law established the Banque Générale in France, a private bank, but three-quarters of the capital consisted of government bills and government-accepted notes, effectively making it the first central bank of the nation. He was responsible for the Mississippi Company bubble and a chaotic economic collapse in France, which has been compared to the early-17th century tulip mania in Holland.[1] The Mississippi Bubble was contemporaneous with the South Sea Company bubble of England. Law was a gambler and a brilliant mental calculator. He was known to win card games by mentally calculating the odds. Joseph Ducreux. Joseph, Baron Ducreux (June 26, 1735 – July 24, 1802) was a French portrait painter, pastelist, miniaturist, and engraver, who was a successful portraitist at the court of Louis XVI of France, and resumed his career after the French Revolution.
His less formal portraits show an interest in expanding the range of facial expressions beyond those of official portraiture. Life and career[edit] Born in Nancy, France, Ducreux may have trained with his father, who was also a painter. Luigi Russolo. Biography[edit] Luigi Russolo was perhaps the first noise artist.[3][4] His 1913 manifesto, L'Arte dei Rumori, translated as The Art of Noises, stated that the industrial revolution had given modern men a greater capacity to appreciate more complex sounds.
Russolo found traditional melodic music confining and envisioned noise music as its future replacement. He designed and constructed a number of noise-generating devices called Intonarumori and assembled a noise orchestra to perform with them. A performance of his Gran Concerto Futuristico (1917) was met with strong disapproval and violence from the audience, as Russolo himself had predicted. El Arte de los Ruidos - Luigi Russolo. Yuri Gagarin. Gagarin became an international celebrity, and was awarded many medals and titles, including Hero of the Soviet Union, the nation's highest honour.
Vostok 1 marked his only spaceflight, but he served as backup crew to the Soyuz 1 mission (which ended in a fatal crash). Gagarin later became deputy training director of the Cosmonaut Training Centre outside Moscow, which was later named after him. Gagarin died in 1968 when the MiG-15 training jet he was piloting crashed. M. C. Escher. Maurits Cornelis Escher (/ˈɛʃər/, Dutch: [ˈmʌurɪts kɔrˈneːlɪs ˈɛʃər] ( );[1] 17 June 1898 – 27 March 1972), usually referred to as M.
C. Escher, was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. The mysterious disappearance (or not) of the physicist who discovered neutrons (or not). Les Paul. Utah teapot. History[edit] Newell needed a moderately simple mathematical model of a familiar object for his work.
His wife Sandra Newell suggested modelling their tea service since they were sitting down to tea at the time. He got some graph paper and a pencil, and sketched the entire teapot by eye. [citation needed] Then he went back to the lab and edited bézier control points on a Tektronix storage tube, again by hand. Genie (feral child) Genie (born 1957) is the pseudonym of a feral child who was the victim of extraordinarily severe abuse, neglect and social isolation.
Her circumstances are recorded prominently in the annals of abnormal child psychology.[2] Born in Arcadia, California, United States, Genie's father kept her locked alone in a room from the age of 20 months to 13 years, 7 months, almost always strapped to a child's toilet or bound in a crib with her arms and legs completely immobilized. During this time she was never exposed to any significant amount of speech, and as a result she did not acquire a first language during childhood. Her abuse came to the attention of Los Angeles child welfare authorities on November 4, 1970.[3][4] In the first several years after Genie's life and circumstances came to light, psychologists, linguists and other scientists focused a great deal of attention on Genie's case, seeing in her near-total isolation an opportunity to study many aspects of human development. Victor of Aveyron. Victor of Aveyron (c. 1788 – 1828) was a French feral child who was found in 1800 after apparently spending the majority of his childhood alone in the woods.
Upon his discovery, his case was taken up by a young physician, Jean Marc Gaspard Itard, who worked with the boy for five years and gave him his name, Victor. Itard was interested in determining what Victor could learn. He devised procedures to teach the boy words and recorded his progress. Raymond Robinson (Green Man) Raymond "Ray" Robinson (October 29, 1910 – June 11, 1985) was a severely disfigured man whose years of nighttime walks made him into a figure of urban legend in western Pennsylvania.
Robinson was so badly injured in a childhood electrical accident that he could not go out in public without fear of creating a panic, so he went for long walks at night. Local residents, who would drive along his road in hopes of meeting him, called him The Green Man or Charlie No-Face. They passed on tales about him to their children and grandchildren, and people raised on these tales are sometimes surprised to discover that he was a real person who was liked by his family and neighbors.[1]

Welcome to Berinfell
Welcome to the official website of Wayne Thomas Batson and Christopher Hopper's newest creation, The Berinfell Prophecies. From joining The Underground forum and starting your own Tribe, to learning more about the book series and connecting with the authors themselves, we hope your stay here is the beginning of a grand adventure!
About the Books:
The Seven succeeding Elven Lords of Allyra were dead, lost in the Siege of Berinfell as babes. At least that's what everyone thought until tremors from a distant world known as Earth, revealed strange signs that Elven blood lived among its peoples. With a glimmer of hope in their hearts, sentinels are sent to see if the signs are true. But theirs is not a lone errand. The ruling warlord of Allyra, the Spider King, has sent his own scouts to hunt down the Seven and finish the job they failed to complete many ages ago.
Now 13-year-olds on the brink of the Age of Reckoning when their Elven gifts will be manifest, discover the unthinkable truth that their adoptive families are not their only kin. With mysterious Sentinels revealing breathtaking secrets of the past, and dark strangers haunting their every move, will the young Elf Lords find the way back to the home of their birth? Worlds and races collide as the forces of good and evil battle. Will anyone escape the Curse of the Spider King?

In this paper we present an extension to the work of Björck et al. for computing the determinants of matrices with univariate or bivariate polynomials as entries to multivariate case. The algorithm supports parallel computation and has been implemented on a multi-core cluster computer system. We show how to use our approach to calculate two unsolved problems, which arise from computational geometry optimization and electric power engineering, and analyze the time complexity as well as bits complexity.

She was retesting a mushroom soup recipe I'd developed for Gourmet's April 1996 issue—we wanted to rerun it in October 2008 to illustrate chef Paul Bocuse's culinary influence in the late 20th century. Inspired by Bocuse's iconic black truffle soup hiding under a dome of golden, flaky pastry, I'd created a version for home cooks: morels in a sherry-laced mushroom broth topped with rounds of store-bought puff pastry. The fact that Maggie had a problem with the pastry was gut-wrenching news. I pride myself on my recipes in general, and I'd been particularly proud of this one. I remembered working hard until I was confident I'd nailed it.
As soon as I got off the phone with Maggie, I ran down to the test kitchen to see what happened. The pastry lid had puffed to a beautiful golden dome, just the way I remembered, but underneath that crisp outer crust was a most unwelcome slab of wet dough. Yuck. Something was the matter.
Food editors gathered and picked apart the recipe. We knew deep, narrow bowls were essential. Bocuse's recipe called for lion's head bowls, footed extravaganzas graced with lions' heads for handles. We'd used those for the photo shoot in April 1996, but prop stylists deemed them too old-fashioned for 2008 and chose different, more modern vessels. That meant adjusting the quantity of soup to fill the new bowls, which was easy—it was the pastry that worried me. I knew there had to be a generous amount of space between the soup and the pastry on the top of the bowl. Otherwise, the pastry would sag into the liquid before the liquid got hot enough to steam and lift the pastry above the rim. Other than that, we weren't sure what to do. We checked Bocuse's cookbook for advice, but didn't find any helpful hints there.
I sent frantic emails to chefs Jonathan Waxman and Jean-Georges Vongerichten, both of whom apprenticed under Bocuse, thinking they could offer some help. Advice flew back. They knew the soup well, and they both said more or less the same thing: "Make sure the pastry is thin. Use a hot oven. Put cold pastry on top of cold soup." We rolled the pastry thinner, and chilled the cut-out rounds well. We upped the oven temperature to 425°F. But the cold soup made me pause; it seemed counterintuitive. I'd originally specified room-temperature soup, reasoning that it would take much less time to get hot in the oven. Knowing well the talent, skill, and experience of Bocuse's protégés, we gave cold soup a try. Ah, success! The pastry "hats" ballooned over the heated soup, and more importantly, they were golden brown, flaky, and crisp all the way through. Thank you, chefs Waxman and Vongerichten, for helping us recreate your mentor's brilliant dish. Collaboration is a sweet thing.

The Marmot Jena Vest does not necessarily look fancy, although it is fairly special, but the materials and attention to detail show why Marmot is such a popular brand. Minor details like the Elastic Draw Cord Hem and Zippered Hand Pockets make this vest extremely comfortable. However, the real performance comes from the amazing 800 fill power goose down insulation, which keeps body warmth tight and makes the Jena the perfect vest on even the coldest of days.
