Re: Radios
Postby Sub culture » Mon Aug 26, 2013 5:39 am
The reason OTW recommend not using PCM is because it has its own failsafes built in, which bypass the OTW failsafe built into the ballast controller.
PCM failsafes are designed for model aircraft, and react instantly on loss of transmission, which is precisely what you want on something fast moving and airborne, but underwater signal glitches tend to be far more common, so we don't want the ballast tank emptying everytime there is a split second hiccup. Therefore the OTW failsafe has a longer time period before it kicks in (I don't know the exact time, but I would expect two seconds or more).
PCM radios will always have PPM mode as standard anyway, so don't fret about it.

A rough running motor or lack of power can be caused by a failed distributor cap or rotor, ignition wires (or their resistors), or valve cover gasket leaks. If the valve cover gasket leaks, oil can pool where the ignition wire resistor connects to the spark plug. The resistor can fail and the spark plug may not fire because of a short circuit through the oil.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300E problems
Rough Running Engine Due to Misfire
High Usage Vehicles May Experience Ignition Lock and Tumbler Failures
Due to wear, high usage vehicles can experience ignition lock and tumbler failures. The ignition lock cylinder will generally require replacement to correct this concern.
The Speedometer May Fail Due to Internal Drive Gear Wear
Due to wear of the internal drive gear, the speedometer can stop working.
Interior Wood Trim Cracks Due to Age and Sun Exposure
Due to age and sun exposure, the interior wood trim cracks and the finish gets a cloudy haze. Replacement if the trim would be the most common solution to the problem.
Failure of EHA valve may cause fuel/engine problems
Buttons on temperature control assemblies work erratically due to wear of parts in control head
Improper Temperature Output From HVAC
One or more blend door vacuum actuators may fail resulting in the incorrect output temperature from the HVAC system. Failed actuators will require replacement to restore proper HVAC operation.
Check Belt Tensioner When Replacing Water Pump
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. When replacing the water pump, the drive belt tensioner should be inspected and most likely replaced as well.
Sunroof Components May Fail Due to Age and Wear
The sunroof may not work correctly due to failed components as a result of age and wear. Repairing a sunroof can be labor intensive and very costly.
Shifter Lever Bushings May Break Causing Loose Feel/Noise
The bushings for the shifter lever wear out to the point where they break and fall out. This causes excessive movement (loose feel) in the shifter lever and a clanging-type noise when changing gears.
Throttle Valves May Experience Electrical Failure
The electronic throttle assembly may suffer an electrical failure. It is often cheaper to send the valve to a service center for repair that to purchase a new part.
Electrical Issues Due to Degraded Engine Wiring Harness
The engine wiring can degrade because the insulating material falls off leaving the bare wire exposed. This can cause many problems depending on which wires are exposed and what they touch.
Engine Oil and Coolant Leaks Resulting in Fulid Intermix
Internal and External engine oil & coolant leaks can develop from the head gasket and/or timing cover gasket; these leaks should be repaired before the engine oil and coolant intermix which can result in severe engine damage.
Motor Mounts Fail and Cause Vibration in Body
Motor mounts commonly fail, causing engine vibrations to be transferred to the body. Failed motor mounts should be replaced in order to prevent damage to the transmission mount.
Transmission Oil Seals May Leak on High Mileage Vehicles
High mileage vehicles may develop a transmission fluid leak from one or more of the oil seals.

Five ways to find more space in your home
A beginner's guide to getting your home organized
Staying on track and keeping life in order can be a true challenge. So we've called in a pro, Certified Professional Organizer® Julie Bestry, to help recommend achievable things you can do right now to get yourself and your home organized.
1. Pack Away the Old YearBefore you start thinking about moving ahead, you need to focus on putting away the old year. This means taking down holiday decorations and designating space in your home to store them for the following year. For some people this place may be the basement or garage. Just ensure everything's in one place—including decorations from other occasions, e.g. Halloween, 4th of July.
2. Identify the DysfunctionAsk yourself what's causing the most dysfunction in your life. A large part of organizing isn't necessarily what you do with your hands; it's what you do with your brain. You have to think about the things that are putting a big dent in your life: knowing that makes it much easier to move towards the hands-on part of the job.
3. Determine What You Want to AccomplishTypically, 'getting organized' isn't really a goal, it leads you to other things that you want. For example, being organized gives you more free time to relax on the weekends, or make space in the guest bedroom for guests. Disorganization hinders your ability to live your life. Once you decide what your objective is, the steps you have to concentrate on to get there become clearer.
4. Purge the UnnecessaryIf something's not age-, size- or lifestyle-appropriate anymore, get rid of it. Ask yourself what you and your family absolutely need. The same goes with doubles of any items you have hanging around. Do you really need three brooms for the house?
5. Figure out your financesAfter a season of spending, take some time to review your banking and credit card statements. Mounting bills tend to be a big source of clutter, because people are tentative about opening them and acknowledging their financial situation. However, it's an important step towards organizing your future and obligations. It also gives you a crucial opportunity to make sure no errors were made and correct them before time lapses.
6. Give Everything a Place to Live…it doesn't have to be with you! Clutter is created when we delay decision-making. Oftentimes the decisions are put off because you think you and your family will miss relocated items. Realize that good comes from finding new homes for the excess. For example, a vintage gown can be sold on consignment, and your favorite magazines will be recycled into new materials, saving trees. Focus on the positives that will come to you and your family when the task is done.
7. Keep Like Things TogetherPaid bills will be happier living in the accordion file with other paid bills, instead of lingering on the kitchen table. Put pending scrap booking photos in one cabinet, instead of several areas around the house. Hanging all of your black skirts side by side in the closet will help you realize you probably don't need a fifth one.
8. Objects Should Live Where They're UsedThe most appropriate place to store something is where it's utilized. Case in point, your kids shouldn't dump their knapsacks at the front door when they come in from school. They should be carried the study area where they'll be needed. Also in that study nook should be a calculator, pens and art supplies. Easy Find Lids™ containers on the desks will keep those supplies at-hand.
9. Proximity and Utility RuleThe things you use most often, or should be using more often, need to be at your fingertips, be it your kids' activity schedule, hand moisturizer, or cell phone. These are the items that deserve prime real estate on the bulletin board, your desk or your bedside table. When something is hard to get to, you'll invent excuses not to use it, read it, study it or fix it. If it's something you only need occasionally, say the fondue set, get it out of your primary zone and into someplace more appropriate, e.g. the basement.
10. Label Storage ContainersIt's great to get organized, but it doesn't pay off to put the effort into sorting and storing things if in the end you can't figure out where items are. So, whether it's hanging file folders, storage boxes or digital files on the computer, label them as clearly as possible so you don't wind up spending time down the road re-opening things to discern what's inside. Also label where the container should be stored so everyone knows where its "home" is. Rubbermaid has a wide assortment of translucent and clear containers to help at-a-glance identification easier.

Pan-fried Prawns Recipe (干烧虾)
This pan-fried prawns recipe is probably one of the easiest but remarkably delicious recipes for prawns–fresh water prawns pan-fried with soy sauce, cooking wine, and a wee bit of sugar. In Chinese, this dish is called 干烧虾.
Fresh water prawn is a great choice because of the texture of the prawns, and the juicylicious and rich taste in the heads. I love fresh water prawns a lot, the taste is probably second only to live spot prawns in my opinion. The best seafood doesn't always have to come from the sea…
Of course you can try this recipe with regular shrimp/prawn. They taste as good. I am partial to fresh water prawns because they are such beauty.

yummy! love the pics…
Wow! I can feel the crisp from biting into one of those prawns in those pics of yours!
Love them! We don't have fresh water prawns up here in Vancouver, not even frozen ones which is a real shame. I tried to eat them whenever I make a trip to Thailand. Yours look divine as usual!
Hey RM – Those look delicious. Too bad I didn't have any of them to go with my Hokkien Mee. I don't know what it's supposed to taste like but I thought it was delicious. It was very prawny and sweet from the shallots. I added some extra chili oil to spice things up and ate bowl after bowl all last week.
I did take a quick break from noodles for some stir fried garlic chive buds. They were the first ones I had seen in the store this year and I thought of your recipe for them as soon as I did and couldn't pass them up. They're my new favorite vegetable!
just looking at that makes me want to eat it. Yummy!
woah so great looking! is that tiger prawn? I bet the head is filled with the "kou"
Wow, the prawns look so delicious! If only there's something like e-tasting, then I could taste the food!
With something as great as prawns, a simple preparation like this is the best to let their natural flavors shine :) This sounds delicious!
Simple, but beautiful, refined and tasty!

its just visa versa that what you are write here about this tropic.
I'm so smart to not believe the "Official-Government" story but you are believe all shit they tell you even if there is "are not proper studies" and "if you trust everything you read " from the Government " you are not too smart."
And you are not so smart to get this from the Government: "Can we have some scientific papers with statistics etc?"
the clou is Germany only uses people from outside Germany because they don't wanna pay for them if there are ill.
this means: "people die from small doses" is truth
this means a nuclear power plant is more dangerous for normal people than xray usages in clinical use because normal people don't use xray.
we have the "schwarzwald" with natural uran radioactivity
nothing special here. but this makes nuclear power plants not save.
thats because the sun ray are not colliding with the ozone layer and the sunlight goes back into the universe.
this means we need to destroy even more ozone layer on South pole to cool the earth down.
also we need to burn more coal to get more reflection of solar radiation back into the universe *[2].
also plants grow faster if they get diffused light from aerosol from dirty air *[1] and more CO2 also grow plants faster.
*[1] http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/n...620705,00.html
*[2] http://www.zeit.de/wissen/umwelt/201...chwefel-wetter

means for every tree you kill you save the planet!
for example human beings for every human you kill you save the planet.
humans pollute CO2!
in your logic you need to kill all humans.
its all about freedom of choices if someone give me a choice to stay near by a coal power plant instead of Neckarwestheim Nuclear Power Plant i surly choose the coal power plant.
we burn many coal in our home heating system in the past so we do not have any problem with that.
its all about efficiency if you use a woodgas-oven to burn the coal you have 90+ efficiency but a nuclear power plant only do have 2-4% efficiency means the nuclear power plant heat up the earth for 96% !
also the coal cool down the earth with CO2 because the plants grow faster also the coal cool down the earth because of the sulfur because the sulfur reflex air light back to the universe also the dirty air makes diffuse light because of the aerosol and this makes grow the plants 20% faster.
means you have 96% heating up the world with the nuclear power plant against all positive effects on the coal side.
the same logic forces us to ban xray for clinical usage if we ban nuclear power plans.
the same logic forces us to use radioactive smoke detectors instead of radioactive free alternatives.
its always the same to argue against Atomic fan-boys is like going into the kindergarten.
And what is when it explodes like it did 2 times till now? in between was only 20 years and the plants get always bigger. we will build in next years again 500 plants if nothing happens (worldwide) to the yet standing 500. So we will doulbe the risk, so if you calculate that, you have double the risk, so if you look into the past thats the only good numbers we have there is a good change that the next explosion is from now on all 10 years, can we live with that? Yes if we like a world out of some hollywood movies with massive mutations and much dieing people.
PS: So I've looked it up and the radiation at the Chernobyl site is mostly from the radio isotop Caesium-137, which has its first Half-Life of 30 years. However, the amount of that is so small, that when the UN formed a panel in 2006, containing 100 scientists, the report was that the radiation was already dropped by a stunning several-hundred-fold.
So yes, you can safely live there.
PS2: I can also tell you, that if you were to chillax in the burning sun on the beaches in Australia, without uv-skin-protection, you'd have a 1000% more chance of dying from skin-cancer, than you'd have from 'radiation-cancer' when living under some serious uv-radiation protecting clouds and trees at Chernobyl.

It is just nonsense to object about flying on a plane being more dangerous than a working nuclear power plant, because nobody ever said there are dangerous radiations outside working nuclear stations. So why are you saying that? Does it make a point in favor of nuclear power? The problem is all about the danger of a major failure (and of nuclear waste), your argument would have made sense if you said: - right now, in the area sorrounding Fukushima, there are less radiations than the ones you get on a plane, and also, people living in the area are exposed to them for just the same amount of time of a plane trip.- But this in not reality.Nonsense? Nobody would swim in the nuclear waste pool and live afterwards. But anyone can live safely after aeroplane flight or living years next to nuclear power plant.
Of course if accidents happens it will be serious. The danger comes when country have not enough funds to maintain reactors.
btw. last reactor of Chernobyl was shutdown in year 2000, 14 years after disaster.

The Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM) was established in 1952 to encourage the teaching and learning of mathematics by relating more closely to the needs of the learner.
ATM is a registered charity and has a membership of approximately 3000 individual teachers, schools and institutions.
ATM has a range of membership options and anyone with an interest in mathematic teaching is welcome to join.
ATM is governed by its General Council. All profits from subscriptions and trading are re-invested to support the development of mathematics education in line with ATM's Aims and Guiding Principles.
ATM offers a number of CDP opportunities that include the annual conference, local branch meetings and regional one-day events.
Through its membership network, ATM has maintained its position as a powerful and authoritative association which responds and speaks with authority on matters relating to the learning and teaching of mathematics and influences decisions to the benefit of all who are learning mathematics.
Have your say >
As a trainee, I have benefited massively from joining ATM. Their resources are developed by experienced members of the mathematics community, and you'll find a variety of adaptable activities/books to enrich your development as a mathematics teacher. I'd certainly recommend a classroom support pack or Thinkers to start with. Ross Swindells
The ATM has been my spiritual and pedagogical home regarding how I understand children learn mathematics and, therefore, how I might teach mathematics. I am proud to be associated with the ATM and take every opportunity, through my work and writing to encourage others to join. Mike Ollerton
I attended the 'Ups and downs with the new curriculum' East Midlands Branch meeting in November. It was really informative and enjoyable. Thank you to Anne Watson. The group singing made me laugh! Kenranjit Kaur

Age limit for Venturers gets cut...The Boy Scouts of America will limit the maximum age of youth in its programs to 18 years old in 2015, down from 21, the organization told NBC News late Tues...Tags: None
It's tough trying to maintain a hypocritical double-standard. It was a pain in the butt long before it became a political gay pawn in the game.
Even the article points out the obvious. The Boy Scouts of America will limit the maximum age of youth in his programs to 18 years old. Remarkably and to the wonderment of all is the same age of adulthood in every other aspects of society (except alcohol) as defined by federal law. Everyone is so wrapped up in the gay loophole, they don't see the elephant in the room. Duh, when you turn 18 you're an adult unless some special BSA program, with no legal backing whatsoever, says it's okay to be youth until you're 21. You can be a youth in one BSA program and an adult in another all at the same time and no one can not see any problems with this. You can be in a program at age 20 (junior in college) without a background check or adult rules like YPT having fun hanging out with girls that are freshmen in high school. I don't think this is a ploy to keep gays out as much as it is a correction to a really, really stupid policy in the first place.

So in 2015, the minimum age for an adult drops from 21 to 18 in the BSA?:
- two deep leadership can be two 18 year old adult leaders
- the SM or any other adult leader can be an 18 year old.
After all, adult means adult right?
I support this. The previous rules were illogical. But this is gonna get wrapped up in the gay issue.
RememberSchiff ... It is less of a change than you'd think.
--- 18 year olds could always register as ASMs. We do it all the time. Seniors in high school registered as troop adult leaders.
--- Two deep leadership was always fulfilled by two ASMs working as adult leaders.
--- No change announced yet for SM. SM must still be 21 ... or so I believe.
I'm sure there is more to come.
This is a good fix. It was inconsistent before and made no sense.
Funny ... bsa documentation ... venturing ... "What's not changing ... age of membership". LOL.
page 3
Fred J. - I agree this is an improvement. Removed is the inconsistency as to who is a youth, but there is still an inconsistency as to who is an adult.
"Two-deep leadership. Two registered adult leaders, or one registered leader and a parent of a participating Scout or other adult, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older, are required for all trips and outings."
For Venturing, it seems at 18 one is now an adult and out altogether as adult leaders must be 21. But as you note, that same person could be an ASM.
Another $0.02
Ahhh ... I sit corrected.
Personally, I think that's good. there is a lot of maturing that happens between 18 and 21. And there is a separation that will help make sure responsibilities of a leader are fulfilled ... or at least better fulfilled.
ok the way I read the article venturing is not dropping age limit. The way I read it is that if you are 18-20 year old and participating in any scouting (sea scout, venturing, OA, am I forgetting any) that they have to meet the adult requirements. So that means if a young man is gay and under the age of 18 he can participate in all he is eligible but once he turns 18 he is not able because adult requirements don't allow men to be gay. So if not gay can continue to be involved after age of 18 whether as a scout in venturing etc or within a troop as an ASM

Who says BSA has the corner on hypocrisy and double standards!!! They just dabble in stupidity. Others take it to an art form.

Qwazse, I think you'll find that there are three years after reaching age 18. A whole year at the age of 18, another at 19, and finally the third year at 20.

I guess on that count, it will be a lot easier to maintain them on the roster. I had one youth drop when she aged out, then last month asked if she could sign on as co-advisor. Then asked if I could have the registrar back-date the application so that she'd have no "lapse" in membership. Had she already been a reg adult, the transition would have been more organic.
Other thoughts:
- I wonder if this qualifies them to chaperon?
- A few of them plan campouts independently. I wonder if they can now do that under our crew flag?
- I hope this doesn't lower the "fraternization" boundary!

Where the 21-years-of-age comes from is attempting to supply program to college students, which are seen as minors in many legal arenas, such as insurance.
These are a series of interconnected issues here, many of which have nothing to do with BSA.
For my 2 cents, I think:
1. We do not a senior scout program
2. We do need co-ed scouting
3. Boy Scout Troops do need older scouts involved
4. The OA does need older scouts involved
5. There does need to be one age that's considered adult for BSA
6. We do need Venture/Explorer programs as part of our offering.
My solution:
Not all states have the same ago of majority, we all assume it's eighteen, because that most common, it not uniform. Eighteen-year-olds today lack the maturity of years past. The ages of maturity and adulthood have changed, historically speaking, typically going up.
With all of this having been said, the uniform "adult age" in BSA should be 21. Boy Scout advancement should be left as it, and the program ages left as is, with 18-20 year old being JASM's, who focus on youth mentoring and development. Venture and Explorer programs can be left as it (as far as age). No to spin things off, but all BSA programs need to go coed.

Roe v. Wade anniversary a reminder of abortion clinic strife
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
"We still have pickets but the numbers are decreasing. The same people in Portsmouth have followed us. Twice a year for 40 days, an organization comes to our doors," said Linda Griebsch, executive director of The Joan G. Lovering Health Center in Greenland.
The name of the clinic, which performs abortions, but also offers an array of other health services, is relatively new. It was renamed in 2011 after its founder, the late Joan G. Lovering, who passed away in 2002. Before that, it was known as the Feminist Health Center in Portsmouth and has seen its share of protests since services opened in July of 1980.
Roe v. Wade, the landmark court case, was brought to the Supreme Court by Jane Roe, an alias for Norma McCorvey. McCorvey fought for abortion rights and won on Jan. 22, 1973. The defendant, Henry B. Wade, district attorney of Dallas County, Texas, was the challenger.
It was a chaotic time for women's rights with pickets and protestors constantly attacking the then-downtown Portsmouth clinic. Protestors such as Operation Rescue, an organization dedicated to ending abortion, had threatened the heath center, saying they would ramp up the protests and shut the clinic down for good.
More than 200 volunteers came to support the health center in 1982 when they linked arms and surrounded the building providing a sense of protection from the pickets. A contingent from Operation Rescue drove to the site of the clinic, but after seeing the diligence and commitment of the health center's volunteers, they turned away and never followed through with their protesting that day, Griebsch recalled. But, protesting continued and those clients seeking services often had to walk a gauntlet of protesters.
The center had made a decision that downtown Portsmouth brought little privacy for its clients. In the spring of 1987, Griebsch and the board moved the clinic to what they saw as a quiet, ideal location in Greenland. The hope was for less confrontation between protesters and clients seeking what most would consider a very private medical service.
Last Saturday, NHRL organized memorial services at the Concord Landfill for unborn babies, rallied at the Statehouse steps and protested past the Concord Feminist Health Center.
Police in Hampton surrounded a hotel room in Hampton Beach, but Salvi had already left for Virginia. He wasn't caught until he fired a rifle and shattered the glass doors at another abortion clinic in Northfolk. Luckily, no one was hurt in that attack. In November 1996 Salvi was later found dead in prison, his death listed as a suicide.
She noted that the organization is committed to advocating the health of women, helping them with breast screening or detecting ovarian cancer, not just abortion.
"Abortion is one of the safest surgical procedures for women in the United States. Fewer than 0.5 percent of women obtaining abortions experience a complication, and the risk of death associated with abortion is about one-tenth that associated with childbirth," according to the Guttmacher Institute.
From either side of each activist, the fight is far from over.

Jihadist web forums hit by cyberattack?
A number of Jihadist web forums have reportedly been hit by a cyber-attack. US Republican candidate Rick Santorum engaged in some Obama bashing. And 8 sets of quadruplets cause mischief in the streets of New York.
Jihadist web forums hit by cyberattack?
Jihadist web forums are experiencing service outages … these websites are a key part of Al Qaeda's recruitment strategy and some of the terrorist network's main message forums have been offline for close to two weeks now. And according to experts interviewed by the Washington Post, this could be the result of a cyber-attack launched by a hacker group or the result of deliberate actions taken by an international government.
And if this is the case, it would not be the first time a government has launched this type of operation. Britain's MI6 sabotaged the distribution of an English language webzine created by the terrorist organization, replacing a manual on how to make homemade bombs with cake recipes.
But terrorism analyst Evan Kohlmann offers another explanation for the problems the Jihadi web is currently encountering. He is not excluding the theory that the outage is linked to the recent arrest in Spain of Mudhar al-Malki, the alleged administrator of several terrorist forums. The sites could have been deactivated to stop them being infiltrated by intelligence services.
Whatever the reason, this wave of outages has revived debate on how to deal with these web forums that glorify terrorism. Journalist Nathan Pippenger has written about it on the website of "The New Republic" magazine. He wonders if it would be better to simply shut them down, or monitor them to glean information about the people that visit them.
USA: Santorum video evokes horror classics to bash Obama
A video clip capturing all the sinister images and techniques used in horror films to paint an apocalyptic vision of what the United States may resemble in 2014 if Barack Obama is reelected as president in November. This is the latest initiative from the campaign team behind republican nomination candidate Rick Santorum, in a bid to win over conservative voters. The campaign ad is called "Welcome to Obamaville". The unnerving narrator plays on the fears of the people of America, accusing the current president of letting fuel prices soar, attacking people's freedom of religion and doing nothing to stop Iran's nuclear program.
The smear video, which is aired both online and on the television, has sparked lively reactions. The Democratic National Committee was one of the first to respond, condemning what it describes it as a "new low". The Democrat party slams, amongst other things, the extract in which Barack Obama is likened to Iranian head of state Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, by quickly flashing alternating images of the two. The committee is asking supporters of the White House occupant to help "fight back" against this type of attack which they say is quite simply a misinformation campaign.
And the web is now abuzz with comments from anonymous web users, criticizing and poking fun at this campaign ad which many feel has gone too far. Most of those who watched the video on YouTube do not appear very taken with the message it is trying to convey, and Santorum's critics have been having a field day making parodies of the controversial video, like this fake ad called "Santorumville" which has altered the original narration to say that electing the former Pennsylvania senator would pose a greater threat to the US.
Famous paintings turned into 8-Bit art
South Korean artist Joo Jaebum is a fan of pixels and this is definitely reflected in his latest creations; he has turned some of the world's most famous masterpieces, like Van Gogh's self-portrait, Da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl earring into 8-bit art, with astonishing results… With these well-known faces now resembling video games 'characters.
Tendance du jour sur les réseaux sociaux
Russian web users have dubbed their deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov « Shuvalov, the thief »; a nickname that suits him right down to the ground, following Friday's allegations by anti-corruption blogger Alexeï Navalny that Vladimir Putin's close ally has taken tens of thousands of dollars' worth of bribes over the past few years. A campaign has been started on social networks calling for him to be prosecuted and although he denies the accusations, this affair could well have a harmful effect on his political career.
Video of the day
Get 8 sets of identical quadruplets to walk around a park in New York and watch the reactions from passersby… This is the latest production from the group "Improv' Everywhere", which specializes in staging wacky artistic performances in public places. You can check out the novel project in this video; it certainly turned a head or two in the Big Apple.

Paul McCartney Was Almost A Victim Of Hurricane Sandy
Friday, November 30, 2012
Paul McCartney revealed that he narrowly escaped the wrath of Hurricane Sandy. McCartney, who'll be performing at the 12-12-12 concert at Madison Square Garden benefiting the hurricane's victims, told The Sun that he too was nearly a victim of Sandy, explaining, "I actually just escaped Sandy. I was so jammy. I had taken my little one on holiday to the Bahamas. The day I was supposed to be leaving, they told me there was a storm blowing in. I'd just flown out of there and that evening the storm hit. I heard something like 28 people were killed. It was terrible. I just scraped out of that."
When asked about signing on to the 12-12-12 concert, McCartney hinted that some historic team-ups might be in store for the New York crowd: "(Producer) Harvey (Weinstein) asked if I'd like to do it, and I had a few ideas. I've got a couple of special moments up my sleeve."

So in the past six months I have read:
A Song of Ice and Fire series released thus far
The Wheel of Time series released thus far
The Malazan Book of the Fallen
The first two books of the Kingkiller Chronicles
The First Law series
Looking for some advice on what to read next. Basically really love the tone and grit of the MBotF and the First Law series and rough but interesting characters like Fiddler, Smiles, Ninefingers, and Ferro. That said, I really need good resolution in a book. The ending of the First Law series absolutely killed me; I cannot read another book like that.
Beyond tone, I am a sucker for traditional sword, magic, quest, and fellowship type stories with a romance or two tossed in for good measure. I loved the Wheel of Time as well for these reasons primarily.
Sorry for the rambling post, but hopefully you guys have some good suggestions. I believe I am going to start on The Black Company novels for now.
July 2nd, 2012, 08:11 PM #678
Hi Wulfgang, welcome to SFFWorld.
I'd recommend Glen Cook, whose written quite a few fantasy series.
The Black Company and The Dread Empire are two that might match with the same sensibilities as what the books you mentioned have in common. In addition, Erikson has cited Cook as a major influence.
Matt Stover's Heroes Die should work for you too, but that may lead you to the other books in that series - Blade of Tyshalle, Caine Black Knife and Caine's Law.
Daniel Abrahams The Dagger and the Coin series, which is thus far comprised of The Dragon's Path and The King's Blood should work for you, too.

Thanks Chris and Rob B. I actually decided to go with the Mistborn series by Sanderson since The Black Company wasn't available on Kindle or in any stores near me. It is pretty fantastic and I've been enjoying it since I'm somewhat used to Sanderson from the last few WoT books after Jordan passed. His writing and description is somewhat less than an Erikson or Jordan, but the plot and ideas thus far in the first Mistborn book have been superb. The whole "magic" system is really unique and cool as well, which is surprising to me given the amount of fantasy I've read. There's also a lot less philosophy / introspection than the MBotF which is preferable to me. Would highly recommend it Chris since I see it's on your to-do list.

I always pimp the Chathrand series, I love it.
And I need to get around to Mistborn, seems like most people's favorite of Sanderson's.

Is Glen Cook's Instrumentalities of the Night series good? I'm sure this has some fans.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some new fantasy reads.
Next on my list is the Wheel of Time series (and I dont want to read the whole series in one go) and since im a pretty fast reader I'd like a few other books to have on hand.
Something similar to these would be great:
-The Malazan Book of the Fallen Series by Steven Erickson <--(****This is my favorite series right now****)
-A Song of Ice and Fire Series (Game of Thrones) by George RR Martin
- King Killer Chronicles (The Name of the Wind) by Patrick Rothfuss
-The Prince of Nothing by R Scott Bakker
-The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
-Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
-King Rat/Perdido Street Station/The Scar by China Mieville
-The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi
-The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King
-The Fade by Chris Wooding
-The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks (Didnt like this one that much)
-The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K leGuin
-Flesh and Spirit/Breath and Bone by Carol Berg
-Wraeththu by Storm Constantine
-Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
-Scar Night (Deepgate Codex) by Alan Campbell (the last book in this series was a bit of a disappointment but I loved the first two)
-The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury
-The Gormenghast Novels by Mervyn Peeke
-The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R, Donaldson
-Lamentation by Ken Scholes

Hi Unassailable,
Since you've already listed Wooding's The Fade, I would recommend givining his Braided Path series a try.
July 23rd, 2012, 07:57 AM #688
Unassailable, seeing as Malazan is your favorite series, you should check out Michelle West's The Sun Sword series. Besides being almost as huge in scope, it shares a lot of other similarities to the Malazan Book of the Fallen and is an excellent read.
July 24th, 2012, 05:29 AM #689
Lazy - yep
Right, I have just bought one of those kindle things.
I need to fill it with great fantasy.
I just finished China Mieville's Embassytown - Loved Perdido Street Station and The Scar, not that fussed with Embassytown but liked some of it.
I'm looking for something that I will enjoy based on the fact I love the following authors:
- Joe Abercrombie
- Scott Lynch
- Matthew Stover
- Peter V Brett
Hit me.

Pink is reportedly very sore after completing her first full day of tour rehearsals.
The 33-year-old singer is just weeks away from embarking on her The Truth About Love Tour and she has been left in pain after pushing herself in the dance routines.
She wrote on her Twitter page "Day one of actual tour rehearsals done. I am sore, which means I'm very happy. Can't wait to play with everyone!!!!!! (sic)" The singer, who has a 19-month-old daughter, Willow, with her husband Carey Hart, has also upped her exercise regime to ensure she is in top shape for the concerts. In an earlier tweet, she revealed "Bikram yoga kicked my entire ass today. At one point I almost hit the panic button. #amateur (sic)".
Pink is set to kick off her mammoth world tour on February 13 in Phoenix, Arizona. The pop star will be on the road for eight months and will stop off in 17 countries in support of her sixth album The Truth About Love. Details surrounding the tour have been kept largely under wrap, but Pink has promised it will be even more adventurous than her acrobatic Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour. She previously said "I've gotta step it up, I'm competing with myself. I was thinking about lighting myself on fire, I've actually been doing some research and I've been going to a lot of Las Vegas shows, I'm going to bring it this time."

HERE Maps API - How to create a Tooltip
This article explains how to use CSS styling to create an tooltip. It is an example of the use of the mouseover and mouseout events.
A tooltip is a GUI element that appears when the cursor hovers over an associated point of interest. It usually contains some text with more information about the item concerned, typically a short descriptive label. This leaves the screen uncluttered by hiding these summaries unless the point of interest has focus. It is impossible to click on a tooltip, since the tooltip will disappear as soon as its associated point of interest loses focus. A more common clickable alternative to the tooltip is the InfoBubble, which is part of the standard API. Since tooltips are only used on a subset of mapping applications, they do not come as standard as part of the Nokia Maps API, if tooltip functionality is required in an application, it is a simple matter to add tooltips to map markers with a few lines of code.
Coded Example
In HTML, a tooltip is simply an extra
 element, which is dynamically styled to appear or disappear as associated markers gain or lose focus.
1) Inject an extra DIV into the DOM
Assume the web page holds a map in the following
 element

After setting up the map in the usual manner, we need to inject an additional
 into the DOM - this will eventually hold the text of the tooltip.
var node = document.createElement("div");
node.className = 'nm_bubble_content';
node.id = 'nm_tooltip';
The
 element above has been given a unique id, and therefore can be styled directly using CSS:
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid black;
padding-left: 1em;
padding-right: 1em;
display: none;
min-width: 120px;
The three important CSS attributes here are background, color and display. A fixed background colour needs to be set so that the tooltip itself is displayed over the map, color will need to contrast with the background of course. The display must initially be set to none so that the tooltip
 element is initially invisible. The other CSS style attributes such as padding and border can be altered as you see fit. It is also possible to style the
 using its style class.
2) Add an "onHover" effect by handling mouseover and mouseout events.
We want to display the tooltip
 whenever a map object which has an associated $tooltip attribute gains focus. In order to avoid writing multiple event listeners, we will add a listener to the map itself, and check which object has triggered the event within the listener function. Hiding and displaying the tooltip is only the relevant for objects with a $tooltip attribute, and the presence of this can be determined through using a undefined check The tooltip is displayed by setting its style to display:block.
map.addListener("mouseover", function(evt) {
if (( evt.target.$tooltip === undefined) == false){
document.getElementById("nm_tooltip").style.display ='block';
Similarly the tooltip
 can be hidden whenever an object with a $tooltip attribute loses focus. Optionally a third listener for click events could be added here to hide the tooltip if an InfoBubble is displayed for example.
map.addListener("mouseout", function(evt) {
if (( evt.target.$tooltip === undefined) == false){
document.getElementById("nm_tooltip").style.display ='none';
If the map is draggable, and the tooltip is displayed whilst doing this, the tooltip will also need to move as the map is moved. This can be achieved by re-firing the marker's mouseover event
map.addListener("drag", function(evt) {
if (document.getElementById("nm_tooltip").style.display == 'block'){
map.dispatch( new nokia.maps.dom.Event({type: "mouseover", target: map.getObjectAt(evt.displayX, evt.displayY)}));
3) Add a function to move the tooltip to the correct location and add the relevant text.
Further styling is required on the tooltip
 to move it around the map. The bounding box of a marker can be obtained using the target.getDisplayBoundingBoxl() method and extracting the x and y coordinates. The x co-ordinate is further offset by half of the width of the
 so that the centre of the tooltip is aligned with the marker. The text is added by setting the innerHTML attribute. Note that it is inefficient to keep traversing the DOM, so a temporary variable is assigned to the DOM node holding the tooltip
, to avoid searching for it more than once.
map.addListener("mouseover", function(evt) {
if (( evt.target.$tooltip === undefined) == false){
var tooltip = document.getElementById("nm_tooltip");
var target = evt.target;
tooltip.innerHTML = target.$tooltip;
tooltip.style.display ='block';
tooltip.style.left = target.getDisplayBoundingBox(map).getCenter().x - (tooltip.offsetWidth/2);
tooltip.style.top = target.getDisplayBoundingBox(map).bottomRight.y + 1;
4) Define a Marker with a tooltip and add it to the map
Having made all the necessary preparations, a StandardMarker can be added in the usual way. The additional $tooltip attribute will contain the associated tooltip text.
var brandenburgerTorMarker = new nokia.maps.map.StandardMarker(
new nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate(52.516237, 13.377686),
{$tooltip : "Brandenburger Tor"}
Because the tooltip text is displayed within an HTML
 element, it is also able to accept formatted HTML as shown:
var fernsehturmTooltip = '
' +
'
Tooltip with HTML content
' +
'
Fernsehturm, Berlin' +
var fernsehturmMarker = new nokia.maps.map.StandardMarker(
new nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate(52.520816, 13.409417),
{$tooltip : fernsehturmTooltip}
Obviously the injected HTML can then be further styled as required.
The result of the Coded Example can be seen below, the cursor is hovering over the marker on the right.

NEW YORK — A big gain in hiring last month sent the Dow Jones industrial average above 17,000 for the first time.
The government said early today that U.S. employers added 288,000 workers last month, far more than economists were expecting. The unemployment rate fell to 6.1 percent.
In the first few minutes of trading the Dow was up 74 points, or 0.4 percent, to 17,050.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose seven points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,981.

Residents give nod to budget, Town Hall renovations
Sunday, February 3, 2013
BARRINGTON — During Saturday's deliberative session, town residents approved placing the proposed budget and the old Town Hall renovation project on the ballot for March.
Selectman Keith Pratt, who also sits on the Building Committee, said the committee studied options of taking no action, renovating the building, constructing a community center to house all town functions, or building separate buildings. After analyzing the options and reviewing multiple studies, renovating the old Town Hall appeared to be the most cost effective option for providing adequate space for town departments, he said.
Because the warrant article for the old Town Hall renovation is requesting a bond, a three-fifths majority is required by residents in March for Article 14 to be approved.
During Saturday's session, Fire Chief Rick Walker explained Article 23, which asks voters to authorize a larger proportion of funds gathered from ambulance fees to be contributed to ambulance replacement and staffing of two additional EMTs. With the proposed change, half of the collected funds would go to offset taxes, and half would go toward both the ambulance fund and the additional part-time personnel. While Barrington currently does not have rescue staff working on the weekend, and it depends on volunteer EMTs to respond to emergencies, Walker said the new EMTs would work weekend shifts, resulting in better response times during critical situations.
Residents will also vote on having the town clerk be compensated through salary only, rather than a combination of salary and fees collected through her office. They will also consider having Selectmen appoint a tax collector annually, rather than having the tax collector an elected position.

(...despite the fact that it doesn't really have an HD display... yet)
It's not like the iPad isn't essentially a larger version of the iPod Touch anyway, running the same mobile OS as well as being functionally identical (much as their Android counterparts are just larger-screened Android devices), therefore using the name iPod Touch HD would not be unthinkable, and certainly not insulting in any way.
In the past, Apple chose to call their upper-line laptop the MacBook Pro, and their ultra-portable the MacBook Air, instead of coming up with completely different names because they were merely variations upon the already existing [MacBook] theme, just as the iPad's really just a variation upon the iPod Touch theme.
Or, of course, Apple could just pay the possible fines etc. and continue business as usual.

put it up now! put it up now! put it up now!
Somebody said 40$/EUR isn't that much in comparison to other titles released these days. Well it depends. Here in my country it's about 25-45$ / 20-35EUR for a new game depending on the title and company. The base price here for CK2 will be ~30$ or ~24EUR (somebody said buy and then complain, but it's not released here yet and I don't want to pay higher price from Steam for example). Less in comparison to US or other EU countries, but quite big comparing to the earnings here. I think most of the people praising forget about such differences. That's why I decided I will wait for CK2 Gold or something with all add-ons (surely PI will release some, I bet at least two major expansions) and to save some cash for May for another release not from PI (yeah, the Blizzard one... ).
The DLC isn't what Johan described in the first post. I like it fine, but it's not an editor, you have to create an all new lord, you can't just edit an old one.

I agree with the above. While I love creating new characters, I want to edit the ones I've played as well.
When is the moustache (create your own moustache) creator editor coming out?
I will pay 9.99 Euros for it.
Giev it nao.
"This is something that you guys here requested last autumn, so we have now made it for you.
Basically, its a ruler designer, where you can edit your character, dynasty, traits, stats and much more at the start of the game..
Who do you want to be today? When you start a new game of Crusader Kings 2 it is the question that every player faces, still finding that perfect character to play is always the challenge. You may have found the perfect place but well the man who has it just isn't quite right. A stat is a little too low, that trait is a little annoying, he could really do with a son and heir, the less said about the nose the better, and why does he have such a stupid name? Well now with the new CK2 ruler designer all these are in your
hands. Customise your character your way. Tweak and change any aspect of the character or even create an all new character and dynasty to play with. Create your portrait, change the name and dynasty and even customise your coat of arms. Change traits and stats at will and decide the size of the immediate family. The game that lets you choose your goals now will let you
choose your character."
The bolded part in particular. You can't tweak an existing character, you can only make a new one. Good sales tactic by Paradox, but they didn't deliver.
Plus the fact that they showed William the Bastard being edited in the DLC trailer. Sort of seems like it amounts to false advertising, really.
Hopefully, Paradox will pay attention to our whining and patch the DLC to be as it was advertised.
It does seem a little bait and switch. It doesn't bother me as much as making my own guy was what I wanted, but I know a lot of people wanted it to edit existing rulers, and that is how it was described.

Board adopts cheerleader supervision policy
The Dell Rapids School Board adopted a new cheerleading travel policy at its April 8 meeting, voting unanimously to limit the number of events the cheer team will attend starting next year.Dell Rapids Activities Director Jeff Dvorak told the boardearlier this year the cheer team has traditionally traveled to every wrestling, football and boys and girls basketball event, often without supervision."I have a very big concern with the fact that our cheerleaders go to events and there's no supervision," he told the board at its Feb. 11 meeting.Dell Rapids High School cheerleaders attend about 80 events every school year, with cheer coach Magen Richeal attending about 30.
The board and Dvorak agreed it wouldn't be feasible to require Richeal to attend every athletic event and adopted a policy that would limit cheerleaders to no more than 46 events each school year."I don't necessarily like it but I understand the reason for it," said Tom Morris, school board president.On the schedule adopted by the board for the 2013-2014 for sideline cheer are five football games, five wrestling meets, and nine events each for boys and girls basketball.All post-season events will be attended by the cheer team.

Hi: 9° Lo:5°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Tuesday 20 November 2012 Updated: 26/11 12:50
THE WOMEN of Bromsgrove & Redditch Athletic Club overcame the mud and hills of Newbold Comyn in Leamington to make a good start in the first Midlands Women's Cross Country League race.
Out of a huge field of 280 runners with 38 clubs and teams represented, this event is one of the biggest the club faces.
The first three scorers - Sally Hogan, Katy Anderson and Tamara Ball - took the A team to a very respectable tenth place, whilst the veteran runners also took tenth in the team event.
The race was won by Coventry's Frances Briscoe in 12min, 04, with Hogan coming in first for B&R in 28th in 28min, 10.
She was followed in by Katy Anderson (36th, 28.35), Tamara Ball (54th, 29.42), Mel Hepke (96th, 31.54), Charlotte Ball (111th, 32.44), Ann Stuart (160th, 35.22) and Jane Anderson (185th, 37.29).
THE FOLLOWING day the club's juniors travelled to Wolverhampton to take part in the West Midlands Young Athletes League second fixture.
In the U17 men's race 60 competitors took part with Calum Smith finishing first for the club in 17th, 17.44. He was followed by James Downing, 35th, 19.00, and Lewis Anderson 60th, 22.37.
The U15 boys saw 82 competitors take part. Ben O'Connor was first for the club in 47th place in 13.06, followed by Andrew Pearson 64th, 13.55, Conor Lewis 69th, 14.11, and Kieran Henry in 82nd, 16.20.
The U13 boys competition saw the highest placing of the day for the club with Altay Gardiner finishing in 14th position in 9.47.
Next was Cameron Cooper in 24th, 10.11, Joshua Pearson, 32nd, 10.24, Max Battle 46th, 10.47 and Elliot Omahony 68th, 11.32, as 86 ran in this field.
Two B&R boys ran in the U11s amongst a field of 98 competitors, with Felix Gill coming 27th in 6.51 and Trenten Roberts 67th in 7.45.
