Author: ME! Timeframe: Many years before the rise of Sidious. More specifically it's undecided and, in this piece, unimportant. Summary: A Master and Apprentice pair specializing in Xenobiology are called in to investigate a messy murder. I've been away from the boards for quite a while. I still poke in occasionally to see what's going on, but I hadn't considered posting anything. Well, all that changes now. In anticipation of NaNoWriMo, I'll introduce the characters I'm crafting for my piece. I'm always happy for constructive and critical input, and comments of any kind. So without any more blah blah blah from me, here's the story! __________________ ?I appreciate you taking a side trip to help us with our little problem, Master Jedi.? Pahlvis Khol was a human of average height with a slightly stocky build. His round hat had been folded up on one side, hiding part of his dark brown hair and giving him a lop-sided appearance. With a long-bladed machete tucked in a sheath at his waist and the long blaster rifle resting comfortably at his back he looked more like a tour guide than the administrator for the wilderness camp on the forest moon of Klevik IV. Really, he was just a bush guide who found a way to make his hobby into a modest livelihood. In spite of the serious reason they were out there, twelve-year old Hsaan T'tlo couldn't keep the smirk out of his expression, or a tinge of sarcasm out of his higher-pitched voice. ?I would hardly call finding two halves of a man stuck in the ground a 'little problem'.? Pahlvis spread his arms and shrugged ruefully. ?I didn't consider one death a reason to call in the Jedi. I just contacted Coruscant for a xenobiologist. I'm sure you have more important things to do.? Wearing a massive backpack, his hands tucked into the opposite sleeves of his olive green Jedi robes, Rem-Lan Chi looked every inch the Jedi Master. He was a tall Ithorian, standing a good seventy centimeters over Pahlvis Khol and nearly a meter and a half over his apprentice Hsaan. ?We are xenobiologist specialists, Master Khol. We were heading this way, and it was only a few hours detour for us to lend an appendage.? His voice was very deep, and spoken simultaneously out of the Ithorian's twin mouths situated on either side of his neck, giving the two humans' ears the impression that Rem-Lan was speaking in stereo. But as Rem-Lan spoke, his large blue eyes investigated every square inch of the heavily treed woodlands, turning his bulky, trunk-like neck slightly to get better views of the scene of death. ?Well, thanks again.? Hsaan bent down and ran his fingers through the amazingly rich, loamy soil. All the grasses had been stripped from the surface and shoved to either side of a long trail about three meters wide. The young human opened himself to the Force and let the impressions of the world flow into him. The sights and smells and sounds of the planet were unique?just like every other world he had visited. However, unlike most worlds this one was in balance, truly and completely. Tall trees swayed in the breeze, rattling leaves and carrying the chirps and squawks of birds and insects throughout the forest in a happy song of nature. Small mammals with anywhere from four to thirteen legs slowly, almost lethargically traipsed through the underbrush, foraging for grasses and seeds. Emotion-wise, the only fear came from the human guide. Though that fear was very slight, it was a stark contrast to the lack thereof around him. On every other world, something, somewhere was afraid of being eaten. Apparently not here. That made the brutal murder of a visitor all the more unusual. His patience apparently gone, Pahlvis couldn't stay silent any longer. ?So, uh, do you want my impressions of what happened here, or what?? ?Thank you, no,? Rem-Lan answered. ?It is easier for us to form our own opinions of what happened without our minds clouded with other sentients' impressions.? The Ithorian's large eyes closed for a moment, then opened again. ?Th
Great one-shot, Peri! I liked seeing Jedi acting in a specialist capacity of something other than having to do primarily with combat. They really felt like what I consider "traditional (Old Republic) Jedi" to be. I liked how Rem-Lan teaches Hsaan and allows him to take the lead on the investigation, even allowing him to draw his own conclusions and make his own mistakes to learn. Hsaan's got a good head on his shoulders. I saw his age and his relative height, but I think a little more physical description of Hsaan would be cool too, unless I missed it. The tree creature was pretty neat. In a galaxy with so many different alien species I enjoyed reading about one that was more on the plant side than the bipedal mammal side. The moon was so calm and balanced it was almost a creepy sensation, heh. (Y'know, in a "quiet... TOO quiet" sort of way.) I'd be curious to read more about it, and I hope we get an opportunity to see more of these characters post-NaNo.
Early-bird: Thanks! I know I haven't posted anything here in forever. It's about time I did so! Thumper: Thanks very much! I know there's a lot of war-time Jedi floating around. I understand why...nobody would have ever watched a Star Wars movie with no "wars"! I don't think I made this as interesting as I could have, but I wanted to introduce the characters and see how the public liked 'em. I don't think I described Hsaan at all. One human looks like the next, I spose, so why paint the picture? The Ithorian was better looking anyhow. Did I make him too dense, with the tree creature in front of him and he's looking for something else? You always hear about worlds where this eats that which eats that which eats that. I thought it would be interesting to have a much more shallow food chain. Not that I'm a vegetarian or anything (far from it!) but still. Thanks for reading, folks!
What a fantastically fun story! The relationship dynamic between master and apprentice here is great, and the walking tree was an unexpected twist. I'd definitely read more about these characters. Well done!
Hehehehe--the idea of a tree "planting" its victim just made me grin. Your OCs and enjoyable and well-rounded, in a creative scene and environment. Great job!
Loved it. But so far, I've loved everything you've written. Looking forward to reading more about these two.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericvv/66198529/As baseball fans, we'd like to think that our favorite players are desperate to make the playoffs out of an undying competitive spirit that they've had since they were toddlers.
But of course, there's also the money.
See just how much money >
Fans sometimes forget that all players receive a playoff bonus, with the amount of the bonus determined by how far their team travels in the postseason.
All the gate receipts from "required" playoff games (those that must be played even if one team sweeps) are combined into one giant pot and divided proportionately among all playoff teams once the season is over. (Forbes.com provides a breakdown of the percentages.)
The farther a team makes it in the playoffs, the bigger their split of the money. (Even second-place clubs that didn't make the playoffs get a cut.) Players then vote amongst themselves to decide who gets a share of their team's winnings.
For superstars with bigger contracts, the purse from the playoffs amounts to chump change. But for many baseball players, an extra $50,000 or so can be an awfully nice perk.
Yes, they do get paid for all the overtime.

Diane writes emotional reads that touch your heart with humorous scenes thrown in the mix.
As the youngest in the family, growing up on a farm in Findlay, Ohio, Diane often acted out characters from her own stories in the backyard. In high school she was the student sitting in class with a novel hidden in front of her propped up textbook. She graduated from The Ohio State University. Before starting on her writing career, Diane was a school teacher and play director. A few months out of the year, she scores the tests that students hate to take. She met her husband while teaching at an orphanage, and they married in 1975. While raising their six children, Diane started writing nonfiction. Later, she decided it would be a nice escape to write fiction. Diane writes nonfiction, historical fiction, inspirational, contemporary romance, women's fiction and chick-lit mystery. She writes fun and inspiring stories filled with memorable characters and is a multi-published author. Diane gives thanks to God daily for all her wonderful blessings.

This demo demonstrates how you can display and update data within Google Earth with FME Server's Data Streaming service and the KML Network Link Control. Using this combination, placemarks are first loaded into Google Earth from FME Server. Next Google Earth requests from FME Server any updates to the placemarks (add, modify, delete) and then applies the updates to the placemarks. So for a given update only a small amount of data needs to be processed by FME Server and Google Earth rather than the entire dataset. This example shows realtime updates of street intersection statuses in Google Earth. Viewing the ExampleThis example is set up and running on Safe's FME Server demo site. You need to have Google Earth installed to run the example.You can try it out by opening the KML file below. The KML file contains two Network Links that point at two FME Server services. The first Network Link requests the placemarks from FME Server and the second Network Link requests updates to the placemarks from FME Server. Run it liveHow It WorksTwo workspaces are designed using FME Desktop (Workbench), published to FME Server and registered with the Data Streaming service. The services are then referenced from a KML Network Link file.WorkspacesInitial Display of Street Intersections (D007-kml-initial-loader.fmw)The first workspace reads street intersection locations from a database, restructures the content and outputs styled KML. When published to FME Server it is registered with the Data Streaming service. Update Street Intersections (D007-kml-update-controller.fmw) The second workspace accepts a KML cookie containing the last time updates were requested (as a published parameter), uses this time in order to read the changes to the street intersection statuses from a database, restructures the content, creates a KML cookie to indicate the last time updates were requested and outputs KML containing the updates and a KML Network Link Control. When published to FME Server it is registered with the Data Streaming service. Setting up the ExampleTo actually set up and run the example on your own system requires a certain set of software and setup.Requirements

I'm trying to get a better understanding of the construction of a copper tubing manifold for the MLT before I start working on mine. I have a few questions and can't seem to find definitive answers to them so far... 1. If the tubing is not soldered together, what keeps it from coming apart when using the mash rake to stir up the grains? 2. What kind of connection is made between the manifold and the ball valve to keep them together? 3. What is the best process for removing burrs from the inside of the tubing after cutting the slits? 4. Is 1/2" tubing the preferred size or should it be larger?
I know a lot of folks here recommend no solder. All joints on my 1/2" copper manifold are soldered except where it connects to the MLT outlet fitting. I have never had any problem cleaning it with a good garden hose spray - 45 times. I don't want to worry about my manifold coming apart with some healthy paddle action.
I soldered my manifold together also, I don't want to go looking for pieces when I need to use it. I connected my manifold to the valve with a couple hose barbs and a short section of hose.
I also soldered mine. However I used a stainless small dia. nail and drilled a tiny hole where it connects to the ball valve. I just use the nail as a clevis pin. No problems after about 20 batches. Cleaning is a snap with hose and a little oxyclean.

Check How to Brew - By John Palmer for how I made mine. I think in one of the Appendices Palmer shows you what parts to solder to help prevent it from coming apart. You can also use some copper wire to make two loops that slip over each end. And FWIW, I prefer small holes instead of slits. I'd get a lot of grain particles with the slits, with the holes, barely nothing gets through.

Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1299 - 1303Two degenerate parametric amplifiers for the frequency of 3100 Mc/s are described. The first is a single-resonator type with a bandwidth of 140 Mc/s, a gain of 19 dB and an excess noise temperature of 84°K. The second uses an additional resonant circuit to increase the bandwidth to over 300 Mc/s, but the excess noise temperature is also increased to 180° K owing to additional losses. The gain and bandwidth of the amplifiers are near optimum. View full abstract»
Investigation of an experimental narrow-band parametric amplifier
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1304 - 1312A comparison of theory and experiment has been made for a negative-resistance three-frequency parametric amplifier incorporating a single varactor diode, operating in the h.f. band. The effect of diode series loss resistance has been simulated simply by connecting resistors in series with the diode. Good agreement between theory and experiment, in relation to gain, bandwidth and noise figure, has been obtained when the direct current flowing through the diode is negligible. Effects associated with a significant direct current have been investigated. View full abstract»

Video waveform correctors for use with coaxial cable
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1319 - 1328
Cited by: Papers (4)Consideration is given to the problem of correcting for the effects of the attenuation/ and phase/frequency distortion of a coaxial-cable pair on the transmission of video waveforms. A method of designing correcting networks is described which uses an adjustable waveform corrector to provide the component values for a fixed network whose design tolerances are arranged to give the minimum waveform distortion. Using this method, the design of waveform correctors for use with coaxial cable becomes a rapid and straightforward operation. View full abstract»
Video transmission system for use with coaxial cable
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1329 - 1340A description is given of a video transmission system capable of transmitting 625-line monochrome television signals with very low distortion on coaxial-pair cable over distances of up to 25 miles, possibly extensible to more than 50 miles. Because power for intermediate repeaters is not fed over the coaxial-pair cables, the use of the system may be restricted under some circumstances. Special techniques are used for the reduction of hum and low-frequency interference and for the waveform correction of the coaxial-pair cable. The system is designed on a waveform basis with the minimum reference to steady-state characteristics. View full abstract»
Colour performance of the Secam colour television system
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1341 - 1349
Cited by: Papers (2)The Secam colour television system has many parameters in common with the N.T.S.C. system, but the constraints imposed on the reproduction of both large-area colour and colour transitions by the practical limitations on amplitude and frequency excursions are different. After discussing the parameters of the Secam system which have been assumed throughout the paper, the relationship between the chromaticity of the transmitted colour and the modulation of the subcarrier is considered and compared with the relationship which exists for the N.T.S.C. system. In particular, the effect of luminance level on the gamut of reproducible chromaticities is examined, and it is shown that the frequency limitations on the deviation of the Secam subcarrier are not important in so far as they might be expected to limit the practical colour gamut. The chrominance resolution of the system is discussed, and the use of an asymmetric passband for the colour subcarrier is suggested. The effects on the colour picture of some types of signal defect are mentioned. View full abstract»

Angular-dependent modes in circular corrugated waveguide
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1365 - 1373
Cited by: Papers (2)The paper gives an account of an investigation, both theoretical and experimental, of angular-dependent EH11 modes in a circular corrugated waveguide. The investigation was undertaken because oscillation in a mode of this type has been shown to be the cause of pulse-shortening or beam blow-up troubles occurring in electron linear accelerators under certain high-beam-current conditions. It is shown that the dispersion characteristics can represent either forward waves or backward waves dependent on the dimensional parameters, and under certain conditions there can be a changeover from one to the other within the pass-band. There are marked similarities between these results and those found theoretically by other workers, for hybrid modes in a circular waveguide containing a coaxial dielectric rod. The measurements also include the distribution of magnetic and electric fields in the axial region, using perturbation techniques. Series impedance values (relating fundamental electric field intensity to power flow) are derived, and are comparable with the theoretical results. They confirm that in a linear accelerator an EH11 oscillation need only build up to a power level of the order of kilowatts to account for the disruptive effect on the beam observed during pulse shortening.

Wideband technique applied to h.f. transmitter station equipment
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1374 - 1384The application of wideband technique to h.f. transmitters is described. The particular band dealt with is 2¿27.5 Mc/s, but the findings are not restricted to this band. The general principles of wideband power amplification are discussed, followed by a description of, and results obtained with, a 1 kW wideband amplifier which uses a modified distributed-amplifier technique. This not only permits better utilization of valves, but the amplifier is also less sensitive to varying output-load conditions. The amplifier may be used on a number of frequencies simultaneously. The use of wideband stages in conjunction with tunable stages in very-high-power transmitters is advantageous. The retuning of drives for a frequency change is avoided by the wideband mixer, which accepts an intelligence signal at 3.1 Mc/s and a frequency-determining signal, giving an output at the desired radiated frequency. Wideband transformers use ferrite cores, and introduce very small power loss. Transformers with a power rating of 40 kW are in use. The availability of wideband equipment simplifies the operation of transmitting stations. An arrangement particularly suitable for ground stations in air communication is described as an example of one of the many ways in which wideband equipment can be used. View full abstract»
Modern trends in high-frequency transmitter design
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1385 - 1394The operating costs of a transmitting station can be substantially reduced if the equipment is automatically tuned and all services are directly controlled from a central point. This is due to the reduction of operating staff covering three shifts, and to the saving in `off the air¿ time made possible by rapid change of frequency. The paper describes a range of transmitters with output powers up to 85kW which have completely automatic control of tuning, coupling and gain. The transmitters are of the linear-amplifier type, and hence are suitable for all forms of service used in h.f. communication, when associated with the appropriate signal source. In particular, the paper describes the automatic control system of the transmitter. Various aspects of performance are discussed, including the design requirements for low distortion and for the reduction of spurious and harmonic emissions. If the saving in operating costs is to be fully realized, a high standard of reliability is necessary. The types of components used are described. They include variable vacuum capacitors, variable inductors, silicon rectifiers and vapour-cooled valves. View full abstract»
Medium- and high-power automatically tuned linear amplifiers
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1395 - 1401The essential features of any communications transmitter are reliability, ready means of frequency changing and linearity. Recently developed high-gain power valves require 1 kW, or less, driving power, which can be obtained from untuned wideband stages instead of the usual tuned drives. With only one tuned stage, it is easy to obtain a high degree of linearity, and automatic tuning by a frequency-following system becomes particularly attractive, without being unduly complex or expensive. A continuous frequency-following system with automatic loading control offsets changes in feeder impedance, so that the final amplifier is always operating under optimum conditions. This is a great advantage compared with preset systems. The design of compact, self-contained equipments, requiring no special under-roof ducts for air or cables, simplifies installation, particularly in existing buildings where new equipments replace obsolescent types. For new buildings the cost can be kept to a minimum. The paper details the electrical design principles for 7¿ and 30 kW automatically tuned linear amplifiers that contain wideband driving stages. The mechanical design is discussed and also the arrangement of suitable servo-tuning and rectifier circuits. Final specification figures and some typical test results are given. View full abstract»
Choice of multi-channel telegraph systems for use on H.F. radio links
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1402 - 1410Telegraph systems for use over h.f. radio links are generally restricted to low modulation rates (100¿200 bauds) because of the effects of multi-path propagation. The usual practice is to employ frequency-division multiplexing to exploit the bandwidth of the radio channel. Different methods of modulation in the telegraph channels may be used¿frequency-shift, frequency-exchange and phase-shift. The performance of typical systems of each kind has been measured in the laboratory under similar conditions of propagation provided by a fading-circuit simulator with additive uniform spectrum random noise. The relative merits of the systems are discussed in relation to transmission accuracy and bandwidth utilization. These are found to vary according to propagation conditions and to whether automatic error correction is used or not. View full abstract»
Developments in long-distance H.F. point-to-point communications
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1411 - 1420The paper surveys technical developments in the point-to-point h.f. communication system of the British Post Office. In the first part, the development of radio-telegraph systems is discussed, and it is shown that these are tending to standardize on multichannel voice-frequency systems, using 2-tone for normally difficult routes (e.g. long routes subject to severe multipath effects) and narrow-band frequency modulation on the easier routes. Similarly, the development of radio-telephone systems is considered, and it is shown how the efficiency of these can be improved by the use of 4-wire privacy, with consequent simplification. The successful application in radio-telephony systems of a syllabic constant-volume amplifier, in conjunction with a complementary device at the receiving end regulated by a separate control channel, should-further increase their efficiency and may enable the radio terminals to be regarded as simple repeater stations. The second part describes modern systems which are to be provided at the rebuilt Leafield transmitting and Bearley receiving stations of the Post Office. The Leafield station will have two groups of six 30kW linear self-tuning transmitters, remotely controlled to radiate any of 25 synthesized frequencies and to have access to 10 aerial systems, each comprising two or three rhombic aerials. The Bearley station will have capacity for a large number of remotely controlled receivers with synthesized frequency control. New receivers will be of transistorized design, and the closer frequency tolerance provided by synthesized frequencies should, eventually, enable automatic frequency correction (a.f.c.) to be eliminated. It is planned to extend the control of the stations to the traffic terminals in due course, and this, together with the increased reliability of equipment which the fullest use of semiconductor devices is expected to bring, could lead to substantial economy in staffing.

Highly stable frequency-shift-keying exciter
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1421 - 1424The provision of a frequency-shift-keying system to meet present-day requirements presents the designer with three main difficulties; (a) the attainment of sufficient stability of the centre frequency, (b) the provision of a system suitable for keying at high digit rates, and (c) the prevention of out-of-band radiation. The paper indicates some problems inherent in systems commonly used in which the solution is often a compromise. A system is described in which a crystal-controlled master oscillator is used, and half the required shift frequency is added to, or subtracted from, the oscillator frequency by means of a pick-up coil turning in a rotating r.f. field. The method has the advantage that the stability of the frequencies of transmission is not appreciably degraded as in the case of frequency-pulled oscillators. Also, because the mark and space frequencies do not exist together, the problem of suppressing the alternative frequency does not arise, as in systems in which both frequencies are generated separately. After the f.s.k. signal has been generated at a convenient frequency, a second crystal-controlled oscillator converts it to the particular carrier frequency required. Out-of-band radiation is reduced by synchronizing the shift frequency with the basic square wave of the telegraph digits and correctly phasing it: this can easily be achieved with automatic telegraphy. In conclusion, a practical system including some design features is given. View full abstract»
Connecting large machines to power systems
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1425 - 1433There are several methods of connecting machines to systems, each method having its advantages for particular types of machine and specific system conditions. Whereas, in the past, limitations were imposed only on the characteristics of the machine during the process of connection attempts are now made to assess the mutual effects between the system and the machine and to make allowance for these. On large and important systems involving large machines it is becoming apparent that a thorough study of the problem of connection may result in a more economic and technically superior arrangement than has been used in the past. Several factors may be involved during machine connection; these include switching surges, voltage reductions caused by starting currents, acceleration effects with possible current pulsations and synchronizing effects. The significance of any, or all of these, on the system is determined by the consequent effects on other machines or apparatus connected to the system is on the machine itself. A combined analysis of the machine and local system is the only satisfactory way to determine the limiting factors which can be improved most economically, and so enable the most satisfactory combination of apparatus and starting method to be selected for any particular installation.

Multi-phase rectifier currents
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1434 - 1440
Cited by: Papers (1)The paper deals with a modified theory of multi-phase rectifier currents. This theory is based on the fact that all system currents, i.e. the rectified secondary line and phase, as well as the primary, currents in the feeding transformer, depend algebraically on the harmonics of the current through a single rectifier element. It suffices, therefore, to know all components of this current in order to compute the currents in all rectifier circuits. After a classification of all rectifier connections into three groups, the `element¿ current is computed and the above-mentioned proof given. The theory provides closer insight into the rectification mechanism, is very easy to apply, is more exact, and permits calculation of the torques produced in d.c. machifles by higher-current harmonics or the heating of rectifiers.

Switching drive of induction motors
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1441 - 1450
Cited by: Papers (6)Recent developments in semiconductors lead to new possibilities of motor control in general and of the induction motor in particular. The latter type of motor, although the most simple in construction and therefore the most widespread in use, does not lend itself easily to speed control and feedback arrangements. The paper shows that electronic control by means of semiconductors of the thyratron type is easily adaptable to speed-control requirements. This type of control, based on switching currents by semiconductor devices, is applied first to the stator circuit and secondly to the rotor circuit. In the former case a squirrel-cage motor can be used, but the rotor control circuit will show certain advantages. View full abstract»
Phase-plane techniques for the solution of transient-stability problems
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1451 - 1461
Cited by: Papers (3)The paper presents a graphical-numerical method for determining the transient stability limits of a two-machine system under the usual assumptions of constant input, no damping and constant voltage behind transient reactance. The method presented is based on the phase-plane criterion,1, 2 in contrast to the usual step-by-step and equal-area methods. For the transient stability limit of a two-machine system, under the assumptions stated, the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy, at the instant of fault clearing, should just be equal to the maximum value of the potential energy which the machines can accommodate with the fault cleared. The assumption of constant voltage behind transient reactance is then discarded in favour of the more accurate assumption of constant field flux linkages. Finally, the method is extended to include the effect of field decrement and damping. A number of examples corresponding to each case are worked out, and the results obtained by the proposed method are compared with those obtained by the usual methods. View full abstract»

Magnetic field problem with axial symmetry and its solution in terms of Fourier-Bessel expansions
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1465 - 1472
Cited by: Papers (1)A method for reaching implicit analytical solutions is explained, demonstrated and verified for certain problems of potential theory, characterized by having boundaries which are parts of co-ordinate surfaces. Different Fourier expansions for the potential are matched over an interface of the problem by the solution of linear simultaneous equations in their coefficients. Two problems are completed by numerical computations and the construction of equipotentials. Comparisons are made with known results for the easier problem, and with experimental results for the other. The method is considered as a computational alternative to relaxation and finite differences, and the axisymmetric problem is shown to be aimed at applications in the design of electrical machines.

Influence of parasitic brush currents on the performance of D.C. generators
Publication Year: 1963 , Page(s): 1473 - 1479The parasitic brush currents which flow in the armature coils short-circuited by the brushes at the moment of commutation modify the characteristics of a d.c. generator, and the effects are particularly noticeable when the speed is varied. The modification of the characteristics can be explained by representing the parasitic brush currents by a current flowing in an additional armature circuit subject to rotationally generated voltages. The pattern of behaviour predicated by the theory is in good agreement with the machine characteristics obtained by test. Although the theory is expressed in linear terms, it nevertheless explains phenomena which are significant in the practical performance of machines. View full abstract»

I'll give you a bit of background on how I got hooked on Beer Cheese soup... My Wife (to be at the time) and I went with her parents, and grandparents to Disneyworld. While we were there we went to a restaurant called the Longhorn. While we were there we (wife and I) had the soup of the day which was Beer Cheese soup. It was so damn tasty I had two big bowls of it, plus my steak, baked potato and salad. I asked if I could have the chef's recipe and even offered to pay for it. The Chef came out personally and told me that he was very gracious and pleased that I had enjoyed the soup but could not sell or give the recipe. I respected that as it was his concoction and it probably took him along time to get it just right. So with that I came home and decided to venture out on my own and get/make a recipe for myself. So it is nothing special but it TASTY just the same - HELL AFTER ALL ITS MADE WITH BEER!INGREDIENTS 4 Tblspn Margarine 1/4 Cup Flour 1tsp salt 1tsp dry mustard 2 cups milk 1tsp worchestershire Sauce 2 cups Cheese (Medium Sharp or Whatever you wish) 1 bottle of Beer (I find that Bass or any English Ale works well)INSTRUCTIONS Melt Margarine, slowly stir in flour, salt, and mustard. Cook over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat. Add Milk and Worchestershire. Heat until mixture coats the spoon. Add the Cheese. Cook over medium heat until cheese melts. Slowly Stir in Beer (it will fizz up) and bring to simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes. It is simple to do and tastes great - I have made it with Beer Brats and it is OH SO TASTY!

I painted this picture from reference photos that I took at the 1990 Indy Vancouver. It took well over 300 hours to complete!
Hello there, I was born in Glasgow Scotland and came to Vancouver BC, Canada in 1948. I have been drawing and painting all of my life. My artwork has meandered through most mediums and styles throughout my life. I started using oil paints when I was about twelve and am still using them now at sixty four. I have not limited myself to oils, but rather have tried most mediums that I have come across. This gives me lots of freedom in rendering the particular piece of art that I have in mind. For example I fell in love with the airbrush (old school air + pigment) for rendering mechanical subjects. Later I used it for painting nudes with watercolour paint and more recently large canvases in a pop art style. As far as subject material, I like to...

Surviving a night full of bull
Former President Teddy Roosevelt would have been proud.
It was a "bully" day at the Professional Cowboys Rodeo Association event Saturday, as bull riding performances from some of the nation's top riders started and finished the night's entertainment at the Budweiser Rodeo Arena.
Riders were touted with the seemingly impossible task of staying upright on the behemoths for eight seconds while using only one hand, earning a score tabulated by two judges who award points based on the riders' technique and the tenacity of the bucking bull.
Some riders were able to maintain their hold on the animals, but many more were not.
"It's definitely a challenge," said Rorey Maier, a bull rider out of Timberlake, S.D. "Every rodeo you meet new people and see new places. You do have to pay your own way, though, so you have to win some money. Every day you test yourself."
One of the more crowd-pleasing performances of the night came from 22-year-old Cody Teel out of Kountze, Texas.
Teel, the 2012 PRCA world champion in bull riding and the 2013 National Finals Rodeo average bull riding champion, brought his talents to Pueblo for the third time this year and rode "Sandi's Dream" for the full eight seconds for a score of 82, second-best on the night and good for third overall at the fair thus far.
"It's all reaction. I've been doing this since I was real little, so I've gotten to where I'm pretty calm," Teel said. "It's a little intimidating at first, but you learn to get used to it and try to remember everything after. So much happens in eight seconds."
Bull riding isn't just a way of life for the riders, though.
In the (likely) scenario that a rider gets bucked off, there has to be a safety net of sorts; someone to protect the rider, the bull's natural enemy.
That's where bull fighters like Lance Brittan come in.
"I've been doing this for 20 years. I started riding bulls when I was 19, and it didn't take me long to figure out I wasn't built for it. So I did the next best thing," said Brittan, who is known industry-wide for his bull fighting ability, which distracts the raging bull long enough for the riders to recover and exit the arena safely.
Brittan's ability was tested Saturday after Maier was thrown from his bull "Paint Ball."
As Maier fell, the bull set his sights on the next closest target in Brittan and stormed full steam toward the veteran.
"I didn't have enough time to do much of anything. I knew I had the bull's attention, and I knew I had to get my feet off the ground. If you stay on the ground, they'll run right over you," said Brittan, who took the brunt of the bull's blow and flipped through the air before landing, remarkably uninjured. "Earlier this summer I flipped and landed right on my feet … I told someone that was my plan the entire time."
The bull riders will be back in action to cap off today's rodeo performance, and bull fighters like Brittan will showcase their special talents following the rodeo with an American Freestyle Bullfighting competition.

Golf: European Tour subsidises late switch, Asia not as generous
(REUTERS) - The European Tour has picked up any costs its members incurred after the late decision to move this week's tournament from South Korea to Singapore but Asian Tour golfers at the co-sanctioned event have not been offered similar reimbursements.
Earlier this month, the two circuits announced that The Championship was being relocated owing to "staging issues" after its original sponsor withdrew, meaning flight bookings required changing and hotels switched to compete at Laguna National.
The European Tour sent a directive to its members on how to reclaim expenses for the extra costs incurred following the unforeseen change of circumstances.
The Asian Tour, however, was not able to match the offer to their 72 players in the 156-man field for this week's US$1.5 million (S$1.9 million) event, formally known as the Ballantine's Championship, where prize money is down from last year's US$2.8 million purse.

Driver Coupling
I have never built a Fullrange loudspeaker system (working on on it though), so I'm never sure if the "rules" I build Multi way speakers by are applicable. Just about ever speaker I've build for home use uses some form of driver coupling. Where the rear portion (usually the magnet or backplate) of a speaker is attached to the cabinet to support the motor structure and decrease driver resonance. But for some reason, I see Fullrange speakers in the same way I view a violin or other string instrument. The resonances are part of the design. And because of this, I should stray from reducing them. This normally goes against the grain for Multi ways, where resonance equals coloration.
I will be building a set of Maeshowe's later this year, and I'm trying to get my ducks in a row before I move forward. |

Driver coupling is a feature of every Planet 10 design. Same for Woden Design
I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. |

I don't see coupling of any kind in my drawing, but I will assume that I can go a head and couple the speaker.

Either the driver is a reproducer [braced] or a musical instrument [unbraced], so whether to brace or not depends on the app/personal preference.

P10 designs feature a vertical brace that joins the front to the back and top to the bottom. Careful cutting of the notch for the motor assy to sit against PLUS slight shimming puts things under VERY slight compression when the drive unit is bolted in place, its simple and it works, I know this 'cos my EmKens show no signs of buzzing in that area....... not that I'd be stupid enough to wind the loud dial to find out!

There is no difference in the physics between full and multi driver systems. There seems to be two camps, really braced and as de-coupled as possible. Just one more thing to test one of these days.

^^^^^part of me assumed this, but Fullrange still had/has some sort of "magic" that I dont understand. Which s the main reason I've been posting so many questions lately.

My mistake on the Maeshowe. My personal choice is to build to the design. In this case Scott shows the driver uncoupled. I generally assume that I don't know more than the designer, otherwise I would be making my own design.
FWIW, another popular speaker design forum rarely has multi-way designs that coupled the driver. Well braced cabs to be sure, but no direct driver coupling. I am personally as yet unconvinced that it makes an audible difference with a well built cabinet, but as stated, I defer to the designer.

well, just because some folks "understand" physics, doesn't mean it's still not magic to the rest of us I'm still amazed that a (few) piece(s) of paper / plastic / metal foil moving back and forth can coax my brain into reconstituting such an emotionally satisfying illusion but then it's a very simple brain - it doesn't understand physics

Editor's Note: Training à la CarteDec 09, 2005, 23:30 (3 Talkback[s])(Other stories by Brian Proffitt) By Brian Proffitt When my daughters were younger, I could usually get away with saying outrageous answers when I would explain things (if my wife wasn't around). "How do you know that, Daddy?" Because, I would reply equally outrageously, "I know everything." I think that stage ended when they each turned three and realized that Daddy, like everyone else, makes mistakes and didn't know everything. Now, as my oldest approaches the teen years, I'm lucky to get her to admit I know anything at all. One of the problems that I have with Linux certifications is the all-or-nothing approach they seem to take. Both the Linux Professional Institute and Red Hat's certs essentially train you up to Know All That is Linux--but it's a broad range of topics and not a lot of depth is given to each one. So, the end result is we end up with technicians who know a little about a lot: Jacks of All Trades. I'll freely admit this is a rampant overgeneralization: I acknowledge that there are surely topics that don't have a lot of depth to them to begin with and that some people are going to "get" some topics better than others. But in order to receive a certification, you have to learn many (if not all) of the available topics. There's no such option to be certified in "just" messaging servers, or firewalls and security. This is actually something that I would like to see changed: I think there would be a lot more "cross-over" consultant and reseller support if getting good, solid Linux training didn't take so long, cost as much, and only covered the areas that those consultants wanted to focus in. In the past, specialization was something that came with experience. Security experts probably got their started as generalists, and gravitated towards security as their experience and opportunities took them towards this specialization. Certification programs seem to want to create a whole slew of generalists and for brand-new, little-to-no experience IT workers, I think this is a solid approach. But this approach tends to act as a barrier for potential Linux IT workers who are already experienced in IT--albeit in other areas. They have years of work, hours of training, and probably a lot of personal investment in the software and skill sets they currently work with. Now we're telling them they have to go back to square one and become a generalist again? Seems pretty detrimental to me. Instead, have training programs that focus on specific knowledge areas or applications. If I am an Exchange administrator, I probably don't want to get an RHCE cert. Just get me training in OpenXchange. And the Evolution client. Then call me certified in Linux messaging (or somesuch). That was why I was really pleased to see Red Hat's new program that was announced this week. Starting in early next year, Red Hat will offer a new certification and product support programs focused on three open-source application stacks: Web application stack, Java Web application stack, and Enterprise Java stack. While these stacks are a bit broader than what I had in mind, this is definitely a step in the right direction. Now IT workers interested in coming to Linux and open source technology will be more able to find a specialized fit to suit their needs. I firmly believe that this notion can and should be applied to tighter specializations. It will let veteran IT workers pick and choose which Linux training they want to receive without taking the all-or-nothing approach. To be sure, there will be veterans who, out of a sense of completion, will want to take the whole big-cert approach--just as there will be newbie IT workers who will want to skip the generalist stage and go for what interests them. Open source, we have all maintained, is about choice. So let's start giving more choices in the realm of certification and training. 0 Talkback[s]

A-Rod In Love: Madonna's My Soulmate!
Poor Alex Rodriguez. He should have known what he was messing with when he fell in love with Madonna. This is a chick who married Sean Penn when she was like, 12! You don't fall in love with Madonna. She chews you up and spits you out, and your remains become art. But the Yankee slugger doesn't give a sh*t, telling his teammate (Please let it be Jason Giambi's moustache) that he's in love with the singer and that Madonna is "my (bleeping) soulmate, dude."
Oh A-Rod, get over yourself. Madonna has a soulmate, and it's herself.
Hungry for today's latest on the A-Rod scandal? Here's the scoop:
- Lenny Kravitz was told by his manager (and Madonna's) that he was going to "pimp out Madonna and A-Rod." He disapproved and fired the guy, and then he ended up linked to A-Rod's wife. Lenny's pissed, naturally.
- A-Rod boned a lot of chicks while he was married, and a few are enjoying their .000015 seconds of fame.
- Madonna wants Cynthia Rodriguez's lawyers to stop using her name. Really? How Lucky! Can we also stop talking about the Artist Formerly Known As Attention Whore?
Posh Spice's Pajama Drama
Victoria Beckham was caught off-guard and nearly faced appearing very un-Posh when she got caught up in a chaotic airplane drama/fashion emergency yesterday. UK newspaper The Daily Mail reports that a bird flew into the engine of the plane Victoria and sons Romeo and Cruz had already boarded, causing the engine to catch fire while the plane was sitting on the runway. Emergency crews were called to extinguish the fire; but it was Victoria's reputation for always looking fierce and flawless that was about to go up in flames when the Poshest of the Spices looked down and realized that – gasp – she had already changed into her airline-issued pajamas and taken off her makeup.
The Daily Mail reports, "Onlookers say Posh stayed aboard the carrier for a quick make-over well after the other passengers were escorted off, and was taken back to the terminal separately with her sons." Posh's quick change had her paparazzi-ready for the photo op, where she -phew- looked put-together and glamorous and thankfully not a tragic mess of a pajama-clad, make-up free Posh. Perish the thought.
Meet Jamie-Lynn's Baby
If that baby could talk, she'd say, "Mommy, why the hell do you have five pounds of makeup on your face?" You look like Aunt Britney!" Luckily, baby Maddie is a few months away from chatting (and dare we suggest, singing?), and she looks all sorts of adorable hanging out with her 17-year old ma. If you're interested in learning all about the baby's schedule and feeding and blah blah blah, you can click here for all the sugary sweetness. But here's the most important thing for you to know: Jamie-Lynn are her kid are perfect. "I had a perfect pregnancy and a perfect delivery," the teen gushes.
If only she had had a perfect makeup artist for her photoshoot too. Can't win 'em all! [OK!]
Russell Dumps Model in Blog Post
Hip-Hop king Russell Simmons and his model girlfriend Porschla Coleman have ended their new agey love, and Simmons supposedly sent her packing, finishing the deed with a lengthy post in his Huffington Post blog. In it he describes their veggie-loving connection and their yoga practice, which culminated in Porschla receiving her teaching certification thanks, of course, to Russell, who provided a scholarship at her yoga studio through which she funded her studies. But he's now setting his pretty young thing free to downward dog on his own for a while. Here's a snippet of his rambling farewell:
A little over a year ago, I met a very sweet and beautiful girl in Atlanta at a party for my book, Do You!. We talked at length about our vegan diets and common interest in yoga. She too was feeling the shift that is happening in America right now of people looking inward…Eventually, she decided to pursue a high certification of yoga that would… license her as a teacher of Jivamukti Yoga. It has been inspiring to see her work so hard towards such an impressive goal. Her name is Porschla Coleman.
He ends his post with " Congratulations, Porschla, and thank you for the inspiration." He forgot to add, "Thank you for letting me dump you and then try to make myself feel better by posting this rambling mess about how great you are. But I'm just not that into you. Namaste." [BET]
Jess Forbidden to Respond to Pam
A little while back, we told you about the Battle of the Blondes. Seems Jessica Simpson got Pam Anderson's bikini in a bunch when she wore a t-shirt that read "Real Girls Eat Meat." The thrice-married, sex-tape-makin' Anderson countered by calling Simpson a "bitch and a whore." Jessica held her tongue, but friends are saying Jess isn't taking it too well.
Described as "disgusted" and "beyond mad," a friend of Simpson's told British tabloid The Sun that she isn't allowed to say anything. "Her folks told her NOT to make a big deal of it – as that would only get Pamela the press she's so desperate for." If it's any consolation, Simpson can stuff her trap with extra bacon cheeseburgers, while Pam settles for attention from Criss Angel.
EXCLUSIVE: Britney Shooting Video For Madonna This Week
Britney Spears and Madonna are going to hook up again, five years after they famously kissed at the MTV Video Music Awards. The "Gimme More" singer is reteaming with Madge to film a video segment which will air as part of Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour, which kicks off in the U.S. October 4th.
A source close tothe projecttells VH1.com exclusively, "It's being shot this week and it's a video piece for Madonna's tour."
The pop-star-on-the-mend seems to be taking all the right steps easing back into show business slowly, with guest appearances on "How I Met Your Mother" and shooting footage for the Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up" video last month, which unfortunately was left on the cutting-room floor at the last minute.

Flaming Lips Ready To Rock With Who, Film
Avant oddballs the Flaming Lips are gearing up for their performance at next week's Rock Honors, where they'll be taking on the Who (a dream come true, for frontman Wayne Coyne). Known for their on-stage spectaculars, the band — who'll be joining the Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam and Incubus in kneeling at the altar of the Who — will also be celebrating something else: after seven years, the band have finished working on Christmas on Mars, a concept film about the first Christmas on the Red Planet, starring the band. They plan on screening the film this summer at a series of shows.
So what to expect from the Lips' Who tribute and their latest foray into film? Just like the band they're honoring, weirdness and spectacle, and lots of it. If you can't wait until next week, check out the craziest on-stage antics of rock and rollers here.
Flavor Flav: Sex at Six Years Old
This might just be the greatest interview of the century. In a chat with Complex Magazine, Flavor Flav revealed all the stuff we wish we never knew about him – like the worst prank he ever played and the deets of his virginity loss at age 6. Holy crap. Read below for our favorite moments, and check out the entire amazing thing here.
On the time he ate a booger as part of a prank, and how he got revenge:
For the person that put the booger on my hamburger, I got him back by taking some dog sh*t and putting it on the Ritz Crackers and he ate that sh*t.
Discussing his most prized possession:
When we were over in Switzerland, they made a Flav Coo-Coo clock. And when it strikes three o'clock you got little Flav that comes out and say "YeahhhhhBoy! YeahhhhhBoy!"
Detailing the disturbing tale of losing his virginity at six-years old:
Where did I lose my virginity? I lost my virginity in the bushes on a box…A girl and me were having sex on a box in the bushes, in some big tall bushes….This was when I was real, real, real, real, young….I lost my virginity when I was 6 years old…Because you know we learned to have done the nasty back in the days, and me and this girl we experiment, we were experimenting, and my little joint got hard, I penetrated for about a few seconds.
Yeah, boy?

Review of #1224
December 16, 2014
We very much enjoyed our stay in the condo. The condo was within walking distance of the beach. We were able to either walk or take a taxi to multiple locations in Honolulu. The condo was just the right amount of room. I requested an extra bed and it was available to us. Our sons used the extra bed and the fold out couch to sleep on. Having the partition helped to have privacy without going into the bathroom to change. I would recommend this condo to anyone making a trip to Oahu.
