Any good Defender clones out there?

I find it hard to believe that it's gone basically ignored. Has anybody found any good Defender like games? I've played Mike Potters Protector I, II - great game. Jeff Minter's Defender 2000, a bit much but I liked the classic mode. Xbox live version, a bit broken. Defender & Stargate via emulators, just not the same without the cabinet. Any good retro pc defender clones that you know of??? | |

Tag. I don't know of any good clones, but Defender is one of my favourite arcade games (even though I've always been rubbish at it!). Love the sounds it makes. I played it a lot back in the day. I find that the emulated versions of these games are best controlled with a Playstation gamepad (rather than a 360 pad). Just seems to work better. Btw, my favourite arcade game is Robotron 2084. | |
Did you ever play the console version of Defender? I had it on GameCube and it was pretty fun, it was made by the same guys who made the arcade game. Nothing amazing but I had a lot of fun with it and it had a documentary on the original Defender that was interesting enough for me to sit through on-disc. --- Every time I try to go where I really wanna be it's already where I am, 'cuz I'm already there XBL, PSN, Steam, Origin, BSN, GFAQs, MC: PhilOnDez | |

No, but I do still have Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits for PS1. It contains emulated versions of Defender, Stargate, Sinistar, Joust, Bubbles, and Robotron 2084, along with clips of the original programmers/designers talking about their creations. It's the only reason I've hung onto my old PSone console. | |
Resogun, yep, have it, brilliant game in it's own right, I do see the defender influences and arcade feel there, but it's just a bit south for me to call it a defender clone. I know they're talking dlc, it'll be interesting to see what they do, I wish there were an option to 'flatten' the world for an old school feel, maybe that'd do it.. Yeah, I've played the classic packs from Midway, I think Digital Eclipse did them across several platforms, definitely fun, but hard as hell with standard controllers. My favorite is by far Defender 2000 (Jeff Minter) from the Jaguar, I wasn't crazy about the newer versions but I loved the classic mode, it felt and played old school. The best clone I've seen on the PC is here..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23R4crXma1I it's near perfect, unfortunately it's a direct-draw game which plays slow as hell on Windows 8, I tried everything to get it working, no luck. For those of you running 7 or earlier, it's worth the download! If anybody knows of anything else, please post. | |

Gas exchange in the carp gills in normoxic and hypoxic conditions. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 741107 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Respiratory exchange measurements in a teleost fish, Cyprinus carpio, in normoxic and hypoxic conditions are presented. Oxygen pressure in the dorsal aortic blood in normoxic carp was much lower than that in most of teleosts and elasmobranchs in similar conditions. The most evident physiological adjustment to the hypoxic condition was the increased ventilation due to an increased frequency of operation of the branchial pump. Increased perfusion at the gills played a small role in the physiological adjustments. |

Subject: | From the top! (primary/foreign keys) | ||
View as plain text |
OK, I've made some changes, and I'm still trying to figure out this foreign key stuff. This time, I'll focus on just two tables, named "continents" and "nations." I put screen shots of their structure and some sample rows online at http://www.geoworld.org/try.gif It sounds like non-repeating numerals are generally preferred for use as primary keys, but letters can be used. I'd greatly prefer to use letters, because it's much more easier for me to match them with their respective countries and continents when working on related tables. But if this experiment fizzles out, too, I may abandon abbreviations and just use numerals for my primary keys. At any rate, I want to join the continents and nations tables via a shared column named "CCode." In the continents table, it's designated a foreign key, and none of the codes repeat. In the nations table, some of the values do repeat - obviously, Canada and the U.S. both merit the abbreviation na (North America). If I understand correctly, I have to designate a column a unique index BEFORE I can make it a foreign key. I tried designating the CCode field on the table "nations" a unique index, without success. Is that because of the repeating values? I then tried to designate a column with non-repeating numerals a unique index, but that didn't work, either. I finally learned how to create a foreign key with phpMyAdmin, but that doesn't work, either. I put screenshots of my trials online at http://www.geoworld.org/fk.gif (The second table was then named nations2, but I've since renamed it to nations.) If the only solution is to make all my primary keys non-repeating numerals, then I'll go that route. If there are other problems, then I'd like to know if anyone on this list knows how to designate foreign keys with either MySQL-Front or SQLyog. I've used them as workarounds for other problems I have with phpMyAdmin, but their Help sections are worthless for foreign keys. Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

About Elf
Legolas - My Story? No. Elf is a Christmas comedy starring Will Ferrell as Buddy, a human who has been raised as an elf at the North Pole, and one day decides to trek to New York to find his real Dad (James Cann). Cue a series of adventures for the naive pixie as he prances around the Big Apple in his green tights, leaving a trail of comic encounters behind him. An excellent comedy for young and old, that still warms the heart while avoiding the pitfalls of excessive schmaltz. Highly recommended.

Megumi Oishi
> Biography
Biography of Megumi Oishi
She's Hyde's wife. Yeah. That's right. Hyde's heterosexual and married. Anyway, they got married on December 25, 2000. Their son was born on November 11, 2003. Megumi is a model and actress, and is currently restarting her career as a weather woman. She was once inspired by Hyde in becoming a singer, but that career didn't last very long for her. As far as any other useless information you'd possibly want to read about, she's about 4 years younger than Hyde and two inches taller, but still weighs much less than him. She actually shares a few common interests with him. They both love art and rollerblading. And Biohazard. Other than that, she also knows how to figure skate and do ballet, but during junior high school, she was an outcast "gloomy" kind of girl. She's also been in many accidents throughout her life. For example, she once fell down from a subway platform and started bleeding from her head. Also, she's gotten into some accidents from falling during figure skating. Ouch~
Megumi was Hyde's dream girl even before he met her. When asked in interviews what kind of girl he liked, Hyde answered saying he liked beautiful girls and especially looked for a pretty face. He specifically mentioned Megumi Oishi as the example of his perfect girl. He was pratically obsessed with her. (Whoa... imagine actually marrying the person you're totally obsessed with... that's like me marrying Hyde xD) In 1998, the other L'Arc members and the people of Utaban (a television program) arranged that Hyde and Megumi meet each other face-to-face on the show. Hyde, unaware of this, was surprised and when left alone on the show with Megumi, didn't do much other than stutter and blush. She gave him her photobook, with her signature, as a present. Anyway, during their awkward silence together, Tetsu (who was backstage at the moment) whispered "telephone number" ("denwa bango") to Hyde, who interpreted it as "tobacco" ("tabako"). Ha. Ha. Ha. Everyone found it hilarious. (Well, actually, it is pretty funny to see Hyde squirm and blush and act like a shy little boy xD) So that's basically how they met. Hyde's shyness around pretty girls really got in the way of them actually forming a relationship. Besides this, Megumi was going out with some baseball player at the time.
It was only at an after-party during the Light My Fire Tour (1998) that Hyde and Megumi met once again and fell in love. Supposedly, throughout the entire party, they stayed near each other and just hung out with one another, talking nonstop and becoming VERY CLOSE. WOOOOOT no sex on the first date, Hyde! No wait, their first date was Utaban technically I guess, so sex is allowed. Oh, what am I saying? Hyde is not that type of guy to practice karate so fast with a girl. It was in that year, also, that Megumi broke up with her baseball player fiance because he was cheating on her. In later years, Megumi and Hyde were reportedly seen together doing lots of cute stuff with each other. Such as Hyde buying Megumi's morning groceries (and lots of wine too), walking down the street holding hands, sharing clothes, etc. They even both got matching Nekojiru (one of Hyde's favorite anime movies) cell phone charms. Finally, on December 25, 2000, they got married. A few years later, on November 11 2003, they had their first child, publicly revealed by Megumi to be a son.
You may also notice that Megumi didn't change her name from Megumi Oishi to Megumi Takarai after marriage. It's common, especially in Japan, for celebrities to keep their family name after marriage. Also, Hyde probably didn't want anyone knowing his last name so he asked his wife to keep her own after marriage 8D Because you know Hyde, he's such a mystery man. AN ENIGMA. On a side note, if you add an extra i to Megumi's last name you get Oishii, which means delicious in Japanese 8D (of course, however, she writes her name in kanji, not hiragana)
Although it was never confirmed for sure, many people (including myself) believe Hyde wrote the song, Anemone, for Megumi. The theory makes sense, especially considering the suggestive lyrics, with lines such as "My wish is but one, to entrust my eternal vow to those hands." This ballad is on 13 Best Clicked Singles, released in 2000 (right around when Hyde and Megumi got married). It was performed on one of the days of Shibuya Seven Days 2003. Before singing the song, Hyde said "To my love... Anemone." You can see the song also performed during REAL Club Circuit Live; the performance is included in the second angle Anemone PV on the Chronicle 2 DVD only. The anemone, by the way, is a flower. Hyde himself said he often thinks of women as flowers, so he probably thinks of Megumi as an anemone. The song itself was recorded in Los Angeles, California. Interestingly enough, the images of a boat hopefully sailing in Anemone is similar to the images of a boat in Eien, Hyde's favorite song from Smile.
Also known as the Windflower, the anemone is a symbol of love, but can also be a symbol of abandonment. The Greek myth behind its name comes from Adonis, a beautiful man whom both Aphrodite (the goddess of love) and Persephone (the goddess of the underworld) fell in love with. Alright, since I KNOW how boring some people consider Greek mythology (and trust me, I had to go through a semester of English class on Edith Hamilton's Mythology x_x), let's spice things up a bit. So here's Adonis, such a beautiful handsome super HOTT hunk-o-meter machine (just imagine Hyde in an ancient Greek outfit). Aphro and Perse decided to split up his time into one third of the year by himself, and then one third with each of them. But Aphrodite (you know how she is, that damn love goddess) was all "DAAAAMN I want this piece of FINE ASS all for myself ALL YEAR ROUND falling in love *L'Arc song reference nyahahaha*" and somehow she managed to make sexy Adonis boy stay with her the whole year. Persephone found out about this and was all "OH NO SHE DIDN'T!" and she complained to Aries, who was Aphrodite's husband OR SOMETHING. You know in those days, people had five husbands, so it probably doesn't matter. Or was that wives? Whatever. So Aries was all "I KNOW! I'll transform into a boar!" and he did (that's always the solution to love problems). Then he rammed into Adonis or something (maybe the poor guy was too busy being sexy to notice that a wild boar was trying to kill him???) and killed him. Aphrodite was floating around somewhere, and when she found Adonis, she cried and held him in her arms. Then, where Adonis' blood had spilled onto the ground, suddenly, red anemone flowers sprouted. ISN'T THAT SO SWEET?! And it's so fitting for Hyde to pick the FLOWER THAT BLOOMED FROM BLOOD to be his wife's image song.
There are often rumors circulating forums and L'Arc~en~Ciel/Hyde communities claiming that Hyde and Megumi are getting divorced. However, in the middle of 2006, a Japanese entertainment newspaper published an article featuring a "scandalous" Megumi Oishi photoshoot (meaning, she was wearing dresses with bare shoulders! *gasp heart attack*) and news that she and Hyde were considering a divorce. Apparently, according to the article, Hyde "forced" Megumi to quit her job as an actress and become a housewife after getting married to him. Also, some money issues were involved. Now, before you freak out, let me explain the probable motives for this. It is true that after Megumi got married to Hyde, she quit working and became a housewife. Well, Hyde makes big bucks (oh yeah, not only is he a money-making machine... he's also a love-making machine!!!! LOLZZOZL) and Megumi became pregnant after a few years anyway. She had to devote all her time to taking care of the kid, or something. In 2006, years later, she wants to return to the entertainment scene but it seems everyone's forgotten who she is. Therefore, her management creates some lame scandal to get her face in the papers. And they also accentuate her sex appeal with 'revealing' dresses so that the photos get immediate eye attention. Some story gets written about what a poor victim of marriage Megumi is, people feel bad and want to watch her dramas. Something like that. You know how entertainment business just loves controversy. Also, Hyde's name appearing in the article especially gave it more attention. Hyde is ten times more famous than Megumi, and simply having his name in the article gets ten times more attention than just writing "Megumi Oishi." It's "Hyde's wife, Megumi Oishi," not just "Megumi Oishi." Sad, but this is the way it works. Months pass by since the article is published, and no divorce occurs. Really, people, no need to fret, it was really just a publicity stunt in the end. So...

You know how sometimes, you read someone's blog post and it is so frickin' resonant that you might as well have written it yourself? Well, Her Bad Mother's got it covered. The cookie dough incident is 15 different kinds of true.
Enjoy! (And be very afraid.)

Oh Jaysus!
Being sick and ONLY having to look after myself would be enough.
Having a bath or shower totally alone is good, Going to the bathroom to do my other functions alone would be even better. I am sure I am going to end up with some kind of embarrassing disease as a result of all the stopping and starting and yelling and telling people where things are; during that supposedly private time.

This is the Question disambiguation page.
The Question is Vic Sage, vigilante protector of Hub City. He is a great martial artist and detective, an investigative reporter in his civilian identity. The mask he wears to disguise his face is made of an experimental material called pseudoderm. Sage is driven by a deep personal quest for philosophical meaning, which has taken him through both Objectivism and Zen; in some versions he is portrayed as a paranoid conspiracy theorist. Aristotle Rodor is his closest friend and mentor, although his teachers have included Richard Dragon and Lady Shiva. Myra Fermin is his most frequent love interest. During 52, when Sage was dying of lung cancer, he trained Renee Montoya as his successor and she eventually replaced him. Sage has been a member of the Justice League, the Living Assault Weapons and the Black Lantern Corps. Montoya frequently works alongside Batwoman against the Religion of Crime and has also done work with the Birds of Prey. The Question was created by Steve Ditko, and his first appearance published by Charlton Comics was in Blue Beetle #1. (1967) After Charlton was bought by DC Comics, Dennis O'Neil seriously revamped the character to reintroduce him in Question #1. (1986) Montoya took the position in 52 Week #48. (2007) |

Transmission through metallic array slits with perpendicular cuts
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 7, pp. 5014-5022 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (186 KB)
The transmission of normally incident plane wave through an array of subwavelength metallic slits modified by perpendicular cuts has been explored. The cuts in middle of slit affect the even and odd modes of slits in different manners. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to investigate the influence of cuts on higher modes of slit, which is quite different from that on the fundamental mode studied in previous papers. Shifting the cuts along the vertical slits, we can get two kinds of resonances, which can be excited when the cuts locate at the center of electric or magnetic antinodes. In addition, we propose a new explanation model, in which we ascribe the resonance to three reasons: the F-P cavity theory, the surface current flow, and the surface charges. Irrespective of even and odd modes, the increase in the length of current flow or decrease in ability of accumulating charges dominates when the cut lies at different locations, which corresponds to a red or blue shift of resonant wavelengths. All calculated results are well explained by our proposed model.

Pagoda Dogwood
Categories: Blooms, Trees
There is another, better Dogwood in bloom right now on campus, a native. Pagoda Dogwood, Cornus alternifolia. There are a bunch planted by Starr/Axinn, and one nice one next to Old Chapel. I've got a great one at my house, read on… More
Doublefile Viburnum
Categories: Blooms
We've got another plant in bloom on campus, and this one is worth driving past on your way to work. In front of Carr Hall, look for its large white blooms on a large shrub. For you plant geeks out there, it's a Doublefile Viburnum, Viburnum plicatum var. tomentosum.
Blooming Madness
Categories: Blooms
The rains of the last week are certainly helping spring appear, after a very dry March. There is all sorts of plants in bloom now, here are some of my favorites.
Redbud-Cercis canadensis. We planted 3 of these against Mumford last year, and another one on the Old Chapel Road side of Starr/Axinn. Great plant, small like a crabapple, but shade tolerant. Great as an understory plant in a woodland setting, but also well as a small speciman out in the open. Make sure if you are buying one in Vermont to get a northern grown one, there is a northern strain that is hardier than others you may buy from chain stores. More
Categories: Blooms, Trees
It's almost impossible now to keep up with everything in bloom, so I'll write about the most obvious around campus, the Crabapples More
Categories: Blooms
There's a new plant in bloom this week, and it's all over the place. Amelanchier is the mouthful of a latin name, and it has several common names, including Shadblow, Serviceberry, and Juneberry. There are several in bloom by Starr/Axinn, some next to the Mahaney Center for the Arts, even some in the woods at Ridgeline. More
Cherry Trees
Categories: BloomsOne of the two cherry trees on campus is in full bloom, and the one on the north of it is getting close. I will confess that I don't exactly know what kind of cherry tree this is-one of the drawbacks to going to a university in the north. (University of Vermont) We're not exactly a hotbed of cherry knowledge up here. In fact, it's not even supposed to live up here. If I had to guess, I think it's a Sargent Cherry, Prunus sargentii. So for those keeping track, that's starting at about 75 growing degree days. For those that read a post a while ago saying I would write a post about growing degree days, I haven't forgotten you.
Star Magnolia
Categories: BloomsIt's been a great weekend to see Magnolia flowers as they go flying past you at 30 MPH in the wind. Seriously, it's been pretty windy all weekend. A hot wind yesterday, from the south. It got up to about 84 degrees, and today it didn't feel like it broke 50.
The magnolias on campus are still in full bloom, though. They are Star Magnolias, a wide spreading shrub/small tree of about 15 feet wide and tall. Perfectly hardy in the Champlain Valley, and a great early flowering choice for the landscape. Fine in full sun, but also adaptable to part shade as well. One at my house is thriving on the north side of a garage, and it probably doesn't get more than 3 hours of sun a day.
The ironic thing about the magnolias on campus is where they are planted. Someone in years past thought they were not very hardy, so they planted them on top of steam lines, thinking the heat from the steam would help protect them. So, there is one behind Voter, right on top of that steam line, one in front of Carr Hall, and another in front of Allen. There was one by Starr/Axinn, but we moved it with a tree spade last year during construction, and it now resides behind Hillcrest.
We planted Merrill Magnolias last year by the Bowker House, on the corner by Adirondack Road. They have a more classic magnolia flower, not in the star shape of the Star Magnolia, more like a small tulip. They are going to be much taller as well, as much as 30 feet or so.
Categories: Blooms
We're up to 18 growing degree days (yeah, I promised in the last post to explain that, I will try to get to that tonight), and there is some Forsythia in bloom. It's in the service building parking lot, next to Centeno. And entire hedge of it, and it's been in bud for a week now. There is no other forsythia in town that I've seen, I think the warmth from the parking lot has sped this one along some.
It was a warm winter, so we probably won't see any low blooming forsythia this year. More
What's in Bloom
Categories: Blooms
It's April 2, and we're at about 15 growing degree days on campus. (More on that later) We already have some plants in bloom: here's a short list
In the Garden of the Seasons by the New Library is some Spring Witchhazel, Hamamelis vernalis. It's the very first plant to bloom I can think of, but it is pretty subtle. Down south they may bloom as early as January or February, but up here they are right on schedule. I like it's fall color, a nice vibrant yellow.
There are also some snowdrops in bloom behind Longwell, that's on Hillcrest Road by the commuter parking. They look to be escapees from an old garden back there.
And finally, Red Maple is in full bloom on campus. Otherwise known as swamp Maple, or loggers refer to it as soft maple. It's not in bloom in Weybridge yet, but Middlebury is a little warmer than other locales.

A Tribe Called Quest
The Remedy
Yo, we all got different things we got to deal with. we always are trying
To put the blame on something else rather than sometimes looking at
Ourselves, recognizing a lot of the stuff that happens...but if we look
Within ourselves, we could prevent a lot of this nonsense. it's about
Relating back to the essence, where it all stems from. i'm-a do my thing
Over this drum, like a native tongue.
Verse one
Do what you will, if you feel that your steeze is real
Complicated with the skills over reel to reel
Brown skin is what i feel, my mind and body's appeal
Is to the no-frill mills, who hear the beats to chill
Constantly, i'm hearing black americans just sneering
Looking for a leader who can fill us up with either
Hitting us up with great emotional chat
About the fact
That the black
Is constantly held back
Like 50 tracks back in a relay race
And the white team's ahead
So let's keep up the pace
And i be needing something
To feed my logical taste
At the end of the race is there a paradise place?
Yo, we can't get involved in what the next man is doing
Material gain we put too much in persuing
"yo duke, i need this dough so we can step to this party"
But we can all mardi grati
Minus that shit in our body
"what that got to do with that"
'cause kid that's the essence,
Your physical presence
Embodies every lesson
You can't run the rolls royce if the engine is busted.
Can't even life the knife to cut the mustard.
What we need to do first
Now listen to this verse
Let's concentrate on our spiritual plate.
Recognize your existence in this vast blue space
From a tiny cloud of blood
To the human beings with taste, sight, touch, smell
And sound
Let's deem it profound!
And prioritize this cause it was allah's wish
"allah? i'm god"
"no i ddon't believe that. that's a mystery"
"if god is so good why does shit be happening to me?"
There's divinity within
Because we come from the divine
A froce that's not seen but you feel it every time
When the wind blows, and the world turns,
And the rain drops, and the baby cries
And the bird flies, and the ground quake,
And the stars gleam
So many things are eident of its existence
What we need to do is link it with persistence
Once we recognize that, we can move ahead
Native tongue, common sense yo he's hip-hop bred...
From the spiritual world my former life has developed
First person i lost close to me was stella
Some of my mellows
Lost their mothers and their brothers
For them i feel empathy
But i ain't pouring out no liquor for no niggas
I pour my heart out when i see dot out on the deck
Knowing two weeks ago he slapped-box with death
I hear of niggas dying in the wind-in the news
But when it's somebody you know it hits you
And emotions get bruised
I ain't been in your shoes,
I won't judge you for knocking
Because the spirit of the ghetto says "you gotta!"
They snatch you again from rock flippin'
Give back into the neighborhood, you better start kickin'
Stickin' stores
On the strip
I'm tired of arabs giving me my change back
Devil bomb my yesterday
My tomorrow he never gave back
I lay back, looking at the ceiling
Wonndering what can i do
So my homie won't have to be dealing
Not cause you serving and i'm rapping i'm better
Just different pieces to the puzzle of black life
That we have to put together, better ourselves
Cause families we gotta raise
No matter how long the money
Shorter become the days
Men become like women
And no difference in the season
If you got popped five times
You breathing for a reason
Let's put the five tenure plan into progression
Before we count our paper
Count our blessings

NEED HELP CHOOSING A SIZE? See measurements & fit info for this garment in the Size & Fit dropdown!
PRODUCT MEASUREMENTS: Compare these measurements to your own body measurements. We measure each item "relaxed" on a flat surface, not stretched on a person's body. It is helpful to consider the material of the item, as some stretchy materials may give an inch or two.
Size | Bust | Waist | Length |
X-Small: | 28" | 20" | 13.5" |
Small: | 30" | 22" | 14" |
Medium: | 32" | 24" | 14.5" |
Large: | 34" | 26" | 15" |
Because sizing and cut will vary between brands, please use this information as a general guide. Use our Size Chart to help determine your size. If you are between sizes or need help finding the proper size, please Chat with a Stylist.
This crop top is super flattering and extremely hot! I am a 36 C and did get a Medium. My bra cup does show if I decide to wear a pushup so in the white I'm ordering I am going to get a Large. It is this stretchy material so the size of the arms and the waist probably wont be as different but I am hoping the cup size will be a bit larger since it shows from the bottom.

Additional Data and Perspectives on Interspecific Aggression in the Common Loon, Gavia immer
We witnessed the killing of a female Redhead (Aythya Americana) by a male Common Loon (Gavia immer). The wound was delivered into the abdomen from below, and death occurred because of a torn, hemorrhaging liver. This same Common Loon also threatened a female Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris) with ducklings. We hypothesize that interspecific aggression by loons might be energetically costly but is sometimes adaptive because it deters predators.
Common Loon; Gavia immer; Redhead; Aythya americana; aggression; interspecific fatalities; British Columbia

Experiments on in-channel swimming of an untethered biomimetic robot with different helical tailsTabak, Ahmet Fatih and Yeşilyurt, Serhat (2012) Experiments on in-channel swimming of an untethered biomimetic robot with different helical tails. In: 4th IEEE RAS & EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics & Biomechatronics (BioRob 2012), Roma, Italy
AbstractExperiments are carried out with a cm-scale bio-mimetic swimming robot, which consists of a body and a rigid helical tail and mimics typical eukaryotic micro organisms, inside circular channels filled with viscous fluids. The body of the robot is made of a cylindrical capsule, which includes an onboard power supply, a dedicated DC-motor, and a driving circuitry with IR-receiver for remote control purposes. In experiments geometric parameters of the helical tail, wavelength and amplitude, and the diameter of the circular channels are varied to understand the effect of those parameters on the swimming speed of the robots. Models, based on slender body theory (SBT) and resistive force theory (RFT), are implemented to predict the swimming speeds, which are then compared with experimentally measured values. A simple model for the DC-motor dynamics is included to account for the contact friction effects on the body rotation rates. Model results agree reasonably well with experimental measurements.

In 2013, approximately 1,147 commercial and military vessels were delivered by United States shipyards. This total includes vessels of all types – 8 deep-draft vessels and structures, 219 OSVs, tugs, towboats, passenger and fishing vessels, oceangoing barges, and 920 inland freight, deck and tank barges. The process of ship construction involves several distinct stages that can be identified as: (1) a shipbuilding contract, (2) tangible personal property, (3) a ''vessel,'' and finally, (4) a ''vessel of the United States.'' Between stages 3 and 4, a shipyard and its crew will conduct sea trials for most self-propelled vessels on the inland and territorial waters of the United States and for some larger vessels on the high seas. This article will briefly look at each of these stages of a ship's construction, the U.S. Coast Guard's authority over the construction of a vessel, and the status of a vessel on sea trials in international waters.
Shipbuilding Contracts -
It is well settled that contracts relating to either the construction of a vessel or the supply of materials for the original construction of a vessel are not maritime contracts within the federal courts' admiralty jurisdiction. United States' law views contracts for the construction of a vessel as a sale of tangible personal property, treating a contract for construction of a vessel as a sale of ''goods'' within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (''UCC'') under Article 2 (Sales) and other applicable state laws. Title to a vessel under construction is generally held by the shipyard until delivery; some shipbuilding contracts provide for title to pass incrementally to the buyer, usually correlating with progress payments made to the shipyard. It is unclear, however, whether the buyer's paper evidence of title under these shipbuilding contracts is merely a disguised security interest, to be held until the completed contract work is delivered, or whether it is sufficient to support the conclusion that the shipyard and buyer are co-owners. The shipyard formally passes title to the buyer upon full payment, ''delivery,'' and acceptance of the vessel by the buyer.

Who Is In Control?
I'm writing at Faithlifts today about Who is in Control? Similar to my thoughts on Fear and Security earlier this week, I address why self-control is not always what we should be striving for. Check it out.

Must be a God-thing (LOL) because I had a post today entitled "Whose control are YOU under?"
- L.L. Barkat said...
I've been thinking on this topic recently. Ever since my car was diagnosed with transmission problems. The particular problem leaves me in four-wheel drive all the time, which puts stress on the axels when I take sharp turns. So, can you picture me trying to control the amount of sharp turns I take? It's completely unwieldy. As it is completely unwieldy to try to control every aspect of our lives. (Surely, this is the stuff of a future blog post.)
Anyway, yes, control by God in our personal lives is a safer, gentler place to be. - 8/16/2007 10:10 AM

Never Say Never Again(1983)Sean Connery is back for his final performance as superagent James Bond in this high-velocity action thriller from the director of The Empire Strikes Back. When two atomic warheads are hijacked by the evil SPECTRE organization, Agent 007 is hurled into an explosive, pulse-pounding race to save the world from nuclear terrorists! For more about Never Say Never Again and the Never Say Never Again Blu-ray release, see Never Say Never Again Blu-ray Review published by Ben Williams on March 24, 2009 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5. Director: Irvin Kershner Writer: Lorenzo Semple, Jr. Starring: Sean Connery, Kim Basinger, Max von Sydow, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Barbara Carrera, Bernie Casey » See full cast & crew Never Say Never Again Blu-ray, Video QualityNever Say Never Again hasn't ever been given particularly loving treatment on video, in spite of its success at the box office. This Blu-ray release represents the first serious attempt at rectifying this, while still not going far enough to present the film in a manner befitting a Sean Connery Bond film. Presented in 1080p and encoded with AVC Mpeg-4, at the film's original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1, Never Say Never Again looks pretty darn good, despite a few glaring issues. The primary problem with the release is print damage; there are a number of scenes where print scratches and dirt become obvious, marring this otherwise excellent presentation. I noticed more issues cropping up during the film's special effects shots, particularly during obvious optical composites. Clearly, Never Say Never Again hasn't been run through the restoration process at Lowry, like EON Productions' films have. Regardless, the good elements outweigh the bad in Never Say Never Again. Contrast is generally impressive, with rich black levels. Colors are slightly washed-out, but that's probably the nature of the film's early-eighties photography. Detail is moderate, but appropriate given the source material. Grain is slightly inconsistent, with heavier grain appearing in special effects shots where optical printing was used. It's nothing out of the ordinary for a film of the early eighties. Lastly, there aren't any noticeable compression- related issues with Never Say Never Again; the film has been given a high quality encode. While the film doesn't rise to same the video heights as most of the other Bond films, this is still a worthy upgrade from any previous version of the film. Never Say Never Again looks better than ever on Blu-ray. Recommened. Never Say Never Again Blu-ray, Audio QualityI was fully expecting Never Say Never Again to be a disappointment in the audio department. Surprisingly, the film has been given a substantial update in its sound mix, thanks to a potent helping of 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio encoding combined with some serious audio remixing. There's a nice since of atmosphere throughout the film that mixes in a number of rear directional effects in action sequences. Dialogue is, for the most part, isolated to the center channel, while the film's somewhat awkward musical score takes root entirely in the front soundstage. For a movie from the early 1980s, Never Say Never Again will never sound as up-to- date as, say, Quantum of Solace. Not that it necessarily should, for that matter. I was duly impressed with this updated soundtrack's restraint. It would have been easy to remix the track to the point of being ridiculous. Never Say Never Again is recommended.

The Tsanteleina (aka Tsanteleynaz) is the main summit of the high part of the Val di Rhèmes (Val d'Aosta).From the valley it can't be seen, hidden by the high rocky wall of the Granta Parei.
Very well known only for its normal/ski-mountaneering route on its N side, that can be a very fine approach to the classic mountaineering and is a "must" for ski-mountaneers: the slopes of the N side, more than 400m high, are steep enough (40°-43°) to offer a wonderful (but dangerous for not skilled skiers) descent in the late spring.
The approach is not short and the climb requires to be fit and trained.
On other walls and ridges some routes have been tracked, neglected for the bad quality of the rock in the high part.
The Tsanteleina is its N side !
Getting There
Starting point is the Rifugio Benevolo (+39.0165.936143) in Val di Rhemes.Usually open and guarded in spring weekends and from july to september, out of these times one can spend the night in the winter (unguarded) shelter with few beds.
From Torino - Milano.
Motorway A5, exit Cogne.
Follow on the State road (toward Courmayeur) till Villeneuve.
Enter the valley and, at the fork between Valsavarenche and Val di Rhemes turn to the right (Rhemes).
Cross all the villages to arrive to Rhèmes Notre Dame and follow to Thumel (car parking), herefrom, following the dirt road on the right side (ascending) of the valley, or, better with snow, a track on the left that passing throught some fine woods leads you to the Rifugio Benevolo (2285m)
Red Tape
the Eastern side of the valley belongs to Gran Paradiso National park, the Western one is out of the boundaries of the Park ... but nature must be respected.When to climb
Ski-mountaineering: normally from april to june (depending on snow quality and quantity).Mountaneering: from late June to early September (better avoid to get there when the high part is iced)
From Rifugio Benevolo, cross the Dora river (bridge) and on toward the ruins of Montagna di Soches.On the left to a fork and, passing under the rocky wall of the Granta Parei, get the Tsanteleina glacier.
Now you can pass near the wall of Granta Parei (shorter but with some crevasses and not comfortable) or point toward the Punta Calabre making a wide semicircle on an easier glacier to arrive to the bad rocks that are the base of the Tsanteleina pass.
Climb those rocks (easier in spring, with much snow) to get the Pass.
Now follow the left side (NE) of the wall, avoiding to cross too much toward the center of the wall (2 steep bumps), to get the last meters where you can have to scramble on easy rocks.
Descent :
- ski-mountaneering - same route - very steep : caution ! - don't cross to the west
- mountaneering - once at the Tsanteleina pass you can follow the slopes ascending to the ridge of the Colle della Goletta (W of the Granta Parei) and following the Goletta glacier down to Goletta lake and to the marked path.
Better come here when snow is still good.
Time required : 6-8 hours.

I have issues with this.
Are our nation's future felons really a worthy charitable cause? Must we make their holidays merry?
These are the fuckers who will be robbing and stabbing us in fifteen years. Should we really chip in for the Christmas video game that teaches them offensive tactics?
And before you get all up in my shit about how they are children and they shouldn't be punished for their parents' transgressions, let's think about this for a moment.
Half of these baby mamas probably don't know for sure which daddy goes with which bastard - so you could just be buying shit for the kid with the garden variety deadbeat dad.
Felons are already getting room, board and three squares on our dime, so mightn't they just use their wages from the prison laundromat to buy their offspring, say, a book? That way perhaps their kid can come visit and teach them how to read. Win-win.
Or if their kids have champagne tastes and need designer sneakers or a gold-plated bong, mama needs to dip into the stash of drug money in the freezer, or turn an extra trick this weekend instead of turning to the red kettle.
Luckily, I have a solution. For all of you who planned on donating to the Salvation Army this holiday season, just buy me a gift instead. I haven't raped or killed anyone, and I don't have any bastards to raise up to follow in my bloody footprints.

Your logic makes no sense. Why would you even encourage the little degenerates to read? They'd probably just use that skill to search the Internet for how to break into your car.
Toys shouldn't even be in the discussion. Seems a much simplier solution is to just execute the offspring of any felon during sentencing. And maybe the welfare queen baby mama too. For the record, I do have compassion - I'll donate to Make-A-Wish, animal shelters and cancer research organizations. And it's not like I kick puppies or children running lemonade stands. ;)
This just isn't a particular holiday programs that I support. I'd rather deliver a holiday dinner to someone lonely in a nursing home than buy Joe Thug's five ducklings their Christmas presents.Not really. If you are to assume that a child breed by a convict or someone who later found his or her way to the prison system, is just as worthless as the donor then why not further humiliate them by forcing them into their own prisons in the black market. "Half of these baby mamas probably don't know for sure which daddy goes with which bastard" thus, my suggestion applies to these half. The other half we can store and use as test subjects on new ways to fight terrorism.
ReplyDeleteScott - points taken, and you are right that I'm generalizing. It makes it more concise than writing every post with a 'in some cases' clause.
And I have no doubt that you are correct that there are plenty of children of criminals who are great children. BUT...can't the other parent or extended family handle the holiday arrangements?
Part of my issue is the commercialization of Christmas as a whole and I feel that this is a prime example. There are many, many families skipping holiday gifts because they are trying to make ends meet. Pay bills, get back on their feet, etc.
Now, I wouldn't take offense at a program where people volunteer time to work with children who have a parent incarcerated. Sort of a big brother/big sister program, where there is time and effort involved in providing a mentor or role model to a child who might be missing that in their life.
I just don't think a stack of Christmas gifts is a solution, and I (personally) would prefer to donate my money or time to alternate programs. But if you choose to donate to the Salvation Army, then that's fantastic.
At any rate, I appreciate your feedback and debate. :)Haha! You're such a bitch! I say that in a good way. No one has the freaking guts anymore, to say the things that need to be said!
My youngest brother is the son of a criminal. Guess what my brother started doing when he was 10? ROBBING people! He broke into homes, stole guns and electronics and sold them for drugs. He has been in and out of Juvie and jail and prison for the last 17 years. Guess where he is now? Living under a tree... Guess where he'll be in a few months? Jail.
Too many people made excuses for his sorry ass. And he knew that he was loved. There are four of us siblings, that are all older. We ALL tried to show him a different way... He refused to do the work. It's easier to be a loser... so we don't talk anymore.
I don't send him Christmas gifts. He gets food stamps and free medical from the state.
Guess what my grandma gets? 10$ in food stamps, and nearly no medical coverage from Medicare. SHE was in the military. She has always paid her taxes. The woman has never broken the speed limit for gods sake, and my brother gets better care, than she does. Pisses me off, beyond belief!
Anyway, to all the bleeding hearts - take it from one of the bastards that turned out ok... the rest of the fuckers will rob you when you aren't looking!My husband and I have not celebrated Christmas for over 30 years. Also as we chose to leave the consumer driven society in urban centers behind we aren't exposed to all the commercial hype. We faithfully give to local charities that provide food, shelter and clothing to those who need it. As we are members we are aware of exactly where our funds go and none are spent on toys, gits or a big whoop -tee - dooo Xmas feast. Our programs are aimed at helping people survive.
ReplyDeletehttp://thestir.cafemom.com/baby/114174/scrooge_mom_returns_kids_presents This is exactly why I agree with you. Well, there are more reasons, but this one pisses me off. and Miss Rebecca is spot on with her remarks.
Since I AM heartless, I also think this about the angel trees and toys for military families who's Soldier has been deployed. The families that actually need the help and toys are hardly ever the ones to get either--usually because they either don't know about them as they are not trying to bleed the system dry or they have too much pride to apply. However, if a family has no money for a toy once in a while (but can get their hair did), they either need to rethink their spending and maybe save up some or MOVE. There are many places where it is possible to live well with only 19000/yr gross and support six or seven people. My oh my could I just go on and on about this shit.Yeah, gotta agree with you. I can think of a lot better uses of a dollar than giving it to the family of an inmate. I'd much rather give money to donate to a family where one of the parents has passed away and they simply can't afford much in terms of presents. I have little (to no) sympathy for those in prison. You're there for a reason.
ReplyDeleteI feel differently here is why. When I pressed charges against my now ex husband for domestic violence and my baby and I became homeless and on the run from him and his friends we moved into a battered womens shelter.
I had a hell of a time getting back on my feet. I worked my butt off to find a job and make ends meet and keep myself and my child safe and get us out of that shelter. I also was working to rebuild my self esteem and make a good life for myself and my child. This program took away a lot of my stress, gave her a wonderful Christmas and helped me to see that I really could do it as a single parent even though it was going to take some hard work and mean accepting a little help at first. This program also showed me there were some wonderful people out there who did give help to others and I wanted to get into a position where I could be one of them. I got off welfare and government help by the time she was 3 years old have given help to other families every year since. It was extremely appreciated and helped me to get us in a much better place.Kimber - to you I sincerely apologize. I know my post was generalized and any time one generalizes some WILL be offended. For you, in describing your situation, you did the absolute best that you could. And I'm glad there was support for you and your little peanut.
I've donated to women's shelters in the past. To me, it's a different scenario. We've all made poor, accidental, unwise choices in our lives and God help us if others AREN'T there to help us out when we need it.
My gut response to the Salvation Army program though was to picture thug-ass murderers who don't give two damns about their kids anyhow, and the tax payers are funding an extravagant Christmas for the kid he may not even be involved with. Generalization? Definitely. True too often? Absolutely.
But I'm NOT heartless and I'm glad that you had help to get into a better place and away from someone abusive. I tried to look up contact info on your blog to email you directly but I couldn't find it. If you see this, please accept my apology TO YOU. And also, if you email me through my blog, I'd be happy to send a little something to your daughter. :)
Merry Christmas!Tricia I have a similar response about CRIMINALS just not about things that help women and children. :) You should hear me rant about the Death Penalty - I am 200% for it. I think they don't use it often enough. I just wanted to offer a reason why the programs are good too - it really did help me, welfare did too. On the other hand - there are a LOT of people out there who abuse the programs and don't do anything to better themselves or their situations. I used the programs when I needed them then got off them and helped others as soon as I could. A lot of people are not like that. I know it is cynical but I have seen a lot of people who feel a sense of entitlement who want to just live off the programs and get something for nothing even though if they bettered themselves they could have so much more.
I am proud of what I have done for myself and my child and where I have gotten us and even more proud I have gotten to where I am. :) I know some people abuse it but I like to think that if there is even one more person out there who is like me that I can reach and help by helping than it is worth it to me to keep trying. :)
That is the optimist in me. :)
Thank you for your sensitivity and I don't think you are a bitch. I love your humor. I get similar responses when I post about the death penalty but the people responding have never been quite in my shoes. I dont think you are heartless either.
In my old town I watched some parents use foodstamps to buy groceries then trade those groceries for drugs while their kids went hungry. I don't think these people should have kids. I think the kids should go to the state and then the programs give the presents to them there. Either way it is a sad situation. Having seen such a darker side of it - it rips my heart out and that is part of why I am studying to be a psychologist. I want to help these children. :)

The Beauty and the Beast
Well, we made it! Leaving Washington DC at 6 am got us into Hinche, Haiti at about 5pm, and what a day it was. As Greg said, his jaw dropped and hasn't come back up yet…there is a lot to process on your first trip to Haiti. Beauty, heartache, smoke, dust and gorgeous scenery all together can overwhelm.
So far, Greg has had the experience of going to the best supermarket in port au Prince- the Deli Mart— blaring music, beggars who lost limbs in the earthquake, and all the special food we needed. Then, a 3-hour ride in the Jeep—through exhaust fumes, tent cities, dust and cooking smoke of Port au Prince, then the air clears, and you're in the lovely, green Central Plateau, overlooking lakes. We bought avocados on a rest stop. This is the earliest in the fall I've ever visited Haiti.. Rainy Season just ended and it's SO green. We had vistas in the rugged mountains with rippling ridges of grass glowing in the sunset as we drove north to Hinche. …goats, pigs, and chickens plentiful and fat ( for Haiti standards) after rainy season. The lush grass contrasted with some of the raggediest people at tiny stands along the highway, selling whatever they can: hard candy, fish, sugar cane, charcoal.
We had a huge, fancy 2-hour mass at the cathedral on Sunday, with about 12 priests and the bishop. There is the never-ceasing amazement that people who live in little houses and cook their food over charcoal fires and wash with water from a pump down the road, can show up dressed to the nines and looking SO lovely, for church. I can't manage makeup for Quaker Meeting once a week.
While Greg installed wire shelving all over the midwives HQ house, I went on a mobile prenatal clinic in the pink Jeep today. We had one Haitian midwife on vacation , one not feeling well at all, and 47 women showed up. I invented the gynecology corner,
where we used our new portable table, old furniture re-arranged , and sheets for privacy so I could use my specuale, do my thing and test for STD's.
Volunteer Jessica S. and I saw babies, mommas, and some sick ladies. It was hot, dusty, chaotic, and exhausting…but in the end, 47 women had vitamins, iron, medicines they needed. One got sent to the hospital. 3 matwons, or village birth attendants, came, and left with clean gloves for births, and much goodwill. When I got home I washed all the instruments in soap and then bleach, and dried them on Greg's new shelves. We had corn meal and goat stew for lunch, with avocados. SO, Here we are. I think it's another planet for my husband, who is hanging in there pretty well, considering there is no space suit that protects the mind from the turmoil of frantic, disorganization fueled by need, nor the heart from the sweetness, tenderness, loveliness and grief of Haiti. He's downstairs defrosting the frozen coils of the freezer/fridge, which we all hope very much is not broken. Meanwhile,we're drinking all the beer, as it's not getting any colder.
Bon Nuit.
