Thermal stability changes the properties of the turbulent atmospheric boundary layer, and in turn affects the behaviour of wind-turbine wakes. To better understand the effects of thermal stability on the wind-turbine wake structure, wind-tunnel experiments were carried out with a simulated convective boundary layer (CBL) and a neutral boundary layer. The CBL was generated by cooling the airflow to 12–15 °C and heating up the test section floor to 73–75 °C. The freestream wind speed was set at about 2.5 m s−1, resulting in a bulk Richardson number of −0.13. The wake of a horizontal-axis 3-blade wind-turbine model, whose height was within the lowest one third of the boundary layer, was studied using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (S-PIV) and triple-wire (x-wire/cold-wire) anemometry. Data acquired with the S-PIV were analyzed to characterize the highly three-dimensional turbulent flow in the near wake (0.2–3.2 rotor diameters) as well as to visualize the shedding of tip vortices. Profiles of the mean flow, turbulence intensity, and turbulent momentum and heat fluxes were measured with the triple-wire anemometer at downwind locations from 2–20 rotor diameters in the centre plane of the wake. In comparison with the wake of the same wind turbine in a neutral boundary layer, a smaller velocity deficit (about 15 % at the wake centre) is observed in the CBL, where an enhanced radial momentum transport leads to a more rapid momentum recovery, particularly in the lower part of the wake. The velocity deficit at the wake centre decays following a power law regardless of the thermal stability. While the peak turbulence intensity (and the maximum added turbulence) occurs at the top-tip height at a downwind distance of about three rotor diameters in both cases, the magnitude is about 20 % higher in the CBL than in the neutral boundary layer. Correspondingly, the turbulent heat flux is also enhanced by approximately 25 % in the lower part of the wake, compared to that in the undisturbed CBL inflow. This study represents the first controlled wind-tunnel experiment to study the effects of the CBL on wind-turbine wakes. The results on decreased velocity deficit and increased turbulence in wind-turbine wakes associated with atmospheric thermal stability are important to be taken into account in the design of wind farms, in order to reduce the impact of wakes on power output and fatigue loads on downwind wind turbines.

Update 09-06-2013 I'm considering this project finished.Well maybe I reprogram it one day :p
Made a new video showing Bajdupod 996R doing some fitness outside in the sun :) It show some of the "moves" that I have preprogrammed. In the last bit of the video you can see me moving one leg. I can move each leg individually with my remote control. Took me a lot time to code everything and test it out. My code is over 1000 lines long and one big mess. Maybe I'll clean it up one day and try to improve it.
I've written some more code to let the hexapod walk autonomously. But it's a bit difficult to make a video of it. I still haven't received a new Lipo. The current Lipo lasts less then 7 minutes :p It can now track an IR light source using the WiiCamera or do some obstacle avoidance using the ultrasonic sensors.
This project was a very good programming lesson to learn how to multiple things with one mico controller. Controlling 21 servos, doing some wireless communication, controlling 18 leds and reading some sensors needs a lot of code :) One year ago I did not think I would be able to program a beast like this. But you can accomplish lots with dedication and hard work!
Update 17-05-2013
New video showing of the blue leds that I've added :)
My hexapod is now fitted with 21 servos, 18 leds (16 are controlled by 2 shift registers), 2 ultrasonic sensors and a Wiicam :p Now I need to code this beast. It can already walk pretty smooth. All the sensors are connected and work. At the moment I just take the readings and sent them to my remote control. Need to learn it some tricks now :)
During the many test sessions my big Lipo has gone poof :( Now waiting for a new one plus a decent charger. Thankfully I have some spare lipos. But they don't last very long, this is one power hungry beast :p
Some photos:
Update 29-04-2013
New video uploaded, let my hexapod loose outside :)
Finally designed a new chassis and had it laser cut by a local company. I had 3 plates made. Between the bottom and the middle plate the battery, UBECs and power servo PCB are fitted. Between the middle and bottom plate the Seeeduino Mega and my Bajduino Mega 3A sit. I chose to use 2 micro controllers just for fun. I have dozens of ATmega's so I might as well use them :) My Bajduino Mega 3A has an ATmega1284P micro controller. It has 2 serial ports which is very handy. One for the serial monitor and one to communicate with the Seeeduino Mega. The Bajduino only does the wireless communication at the moment, the PCB has a header for the nRF24L01 module. I have not fitted the top plate of the chassis yet.
To replace the chassis I had to take the hexapod apart. I put it back together and replaced all the plastic servo horns with metal ones. I then had to check all the servos again to see if they all line up. In the video you can see that it's not walking very straight. So I need to do some adjusting... I also mounted the legs on small bearings that sit inside the bottom acryl plate.
My code seems to run ok. It still has a bug that I can't seem to fix. When I switch between the walking mode and the "move the body" mode strange things happen :p Think I'll rewrite that function so it uses the same timer as my walking function. Still I'm happy with the progress so far :)
Update 23-03-2013
Added another video showing my last state of code. I've changed the way I move the servos. All my code is now based on timers. I have added speed control and "bodyshifting". I can select a mode on my remote with a button. So I can choose between walking or moving the body.
Now I have to tackle some mechanical problems. The legs need a lot more grip and I need to design a new bigger chassis. I have received my metal servo horns. Once I have the new chassis plates I'll replace all the horns. It's quite a big job, 72 screws :p
Update 12-03-2013
Uploaded third video. Snowed in today so had to stay at home and play with my hexapod. I have changed my massive moveServos function so it moves the servos in little steps. I can now control the speed of the servos. I do use a for loop and the delay function. I've added a second micro controller (ATmega328) with a wireless nRF24L01 module. All my bots have been controlled by these modules so it didn't take me long to program the communication. The ATmega328 receives a struct from my remote control via the wireless modules. The ATmega328 then sends these values via software serial to the Arduino Mega which receives these values over hardware serial. Sounds complex but it's actually very straight forward. In the video you can now see that you can make a hexapod with cheap Chinese servos that can walk smoothly :) Not as smooth as a lynxmotion of course but that has more to do with my code. And it cost me a lot less.
Update 10-03-2013
Added the second video, this time of Bajdupod 996R taking its first steps :) After blowing up a couple of expensive 8A UBECs I think I have found a solution to powering the 18 servos. I am now using 3 8A UBECs, each UBEC powers 2 legs / 6 servos. To give you an idea about how current this black monster needs, I had a 10A fuse between the Lipo and the 3 UBECs. It blew up when I tried out the real walking test. So I've replaced it with a 20A fuse.
I have written a basic walking gait to move the hexapod forward, backward, left and right. I'm using inverse kinematics to calculate the servo angles. The code still needs a lot of improvement, I want it to move a lot smoother. For this I'll need to move the servos in little steps. Writing that code for 18 servos is not so easy, certainly as I refuse to use the delay function. That's to easy :) I had a bit of trouble finding out how much I could move the legs and keep the hexapod stable. In the beginning I was moving the legs to far for/backward and that caused the hexapod to fall on it's ass :p Takes quite a bit of time figuring everything out...
Future plans:
- Replace all the servo horns with metal horns (are on the way from China)
- Replace the original base plates with self designed laser cut acryl plates, the chassis I use now is to small, I'll make it a little bigger so I can fit my Lipo and UBECs inside the chassis
- Replace current servo PCB with new version (is on the way from China)
- Replace Arduino Mega2560 with a Seeeduino Mega2560 (Seeeduino version is smaller)
- Write some fancier code so the hexapod moves a lot smoother and I can control the speed of the servos (this will be very hard)
- Fit a second micro controller with a nRF24L01 module so I can remote control it.
- Add a shit load of LEDs and let it dance, Gangnam style :D
Update 22-02-2013
Added first video :) I've done some more testing. I've written a sketch were I move all 6 legs (18 servos) at the same time. Lifting 3 legs up and 3 legs down using inverse kinematics. I powered 3 legs from my lab power supply and the other 3 from an 8A UBEC. I'm afraid the servos will draw close to 20A when walking. So I've now ordered 3 more 8A UBECs. I will use 1 8A UBEC to power 2 legs, so 3 8A UBECs in total. I hope that will do it.
Update 18-02-2013:
I have spent the last weeks trying to figure out how inverse kinematics work. After a big struggle and a lot of head scratching I can now move every leg using inverse kinematics. That means that in my code I can do this: moveLeg1(X,Y,Z). The X,Y,Z is the position of the tip of the leg :) The code will then calculate the angle of each servo and move the leg to the X,Y,Z position. I borrowed a lot of code from this website: http://www.engineer-this.com/IK.shtml Converting the IK angles to servo angles was actually easier then I thought. Using a protractor I compared the calculated IK angles with my servo angles. I still have to do some fine tuning. But the biggest hurdle has been taken :)
Of course I wanted to show of my successful coding and quickly wrote a simple sketch to move all 6 legs at the same time. So I could make a video. Bad luck struck of course and one of my UBEC's has given up. I was powering the 18 servos with 2 8A UBEC's. Each UBEC powers 3 legs. Now I'll be honest when I first tested the UBEC's I short circuited them. They have been working fine till today... Grrr. I then decided to use my lab power supply. I set it at 6V and moved all the legs, the servos were drawing almost 10A. And the servos are under no / a very small load. So I will redesign my power supply circuit. Suggestions are welcome. Current solutions are a 5A UBEC for each leg? I have also seen some 10A 12 to 5V automotive regulators on Ebay, maybe 2 of those will be strong enough? I'm going to put the hexapod away for a bit now till I have found a decent solution. I'm definately not giving up, it will walk :p But I have bought a lot of other toys the last months, I'll play with them for a while :)
Original post:
I've started building my second hexapod. This time I'm using a Chinese hexapod kit. I bought the kit on Ebay for 90$. It included the parts in the photo below:
I bought 30 Towardpro MG996R servos some time ago on Ebay. They are pretty cheap and have +10kg/cm of torque. I hope they are strong enough :)
I used a lot of M3 nuts and bolts to put everything together. I did some thinking about how I was going to power 18 servos. I decided a big strong lipo and some UBECs were a good solution. I bought 2 8A UBECs. I soldered a fuse and switch to some connectors so I could hook up the lipo to the UBECs. I designed a small PCB (and had it made by Seeedstudio) to distribute the power from the UBECs to the 18 servos. Each UBEC powers 3 legs / 9 servos of the robot. The Mega 2560 is powered by a separate 2S Lipo.
I've now mounted an Arduino Mega 2560 on the robot and hooked it up to my servo power board. I might change the Mega for one of my self designed boards and use a Torobot 32 channel servo controller that I have lying around.
At the moment I have only set up the 18 servos, checking if they work and adjusting the centre position. Takes some time with 18 servos. I hope to write a sketch using inverse kinematics for it. But that will probably take some time.
Another issue I have is that the chassis is a bit on the small side. I might design a bigger base plate for it and have it made from Acryl. So I can attach some more electronics.
Congratulations on a job
Congratulations on a job well done! Those blue leds are very cool looking. A lot of engineering into just how to power everything without melting something I imagine.
I don't think I have ever done a software project I didn't wish I had done better.
Amazing robot !
Amazing robot !
Nicely done Bajdi. The blue
Nicely done Bajdi. The blue LEDs are really an eyecatcher.
Good to see your work on this.
You are really progressing nicely with your control of your bot.
Now PLZZ GIVZ ME DE code PLZ :D
UBECs vs cheap LM2596 converters
I searched ebay for your 8A UBECs, $12 a piece. Compare that with the cheap LM2596 Buck Converters, 3A for $1.5. Why not stuff your walker with an array of those?
3rd video
well... here I was watching the 3rd video and mrs was walking near... and then she's like:
"What's that?..." (she approaches and takes a look)
"Aw how cute, it's like a spider?... and it's pretty than [any of ] yours..." (me astonished/frowning... if I could react to such candure :P)
Anyhow here you go, let me tell you just been greatly complimented (partly at my expense :P) and don't even use my poor excuses of robots for comparison... but a robot to catch the eye of the mrs takes a lot :|
As for my own comments: the gait has improved greatly, looking pretty good :D (goes off mumbling about buying a bunch of servos) [ :P ]
A little slow here
Sorry, I'm a bit slow to notice you're using full sized servos. It's kind of hard to tell the scale from the photos.
It's good to know the limits of those LM2596 boards. I'll be watching what you do about a power supply so when I build a larder hex I'll know what to use.
I have the servos for a larger hexapod but I haven't started buiding it yet.

Abandoned baby squirrel gets a second chance
Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 01:10 PM
Meet Rob, the baby palm squirrel
British photographer and film producer Paul Williams was on assignment in Sri Lanka on Sept. 10 when he came across a baby palm squirrel that had fallen out of its nest.
After placing the little guy out of harm's way in hopes that the mother would find him, Williams went about his own business while keeping a watchful eye. When the mother didn't come back, he took matters into his own hands by feeding and caring for the baby, who he dubbed "Rob."
"I'd guess that he's about a month old and will be opening his eyes soon," Williams said. "He might get a shock to look up and see that I'm not a giant squirrel mum!"
Since adopting Rob, the two have been spending quite a lot of time together — the tiny rodent enjoys sleeping in shirt pockets, snoozing on camera equipment and climbing humans like trees.
Be sure to check out William's Flickr page, where you can view more photos of Rob the baby palm squirrel as well as the photographer's other work.

Fowles and Parker both eligible for WNBA draft
Updated: March 30, 2007, 7:24 PM ETBy Mechelle Voepel | Special to ESPN.com
CLEVELAND -- The two most talked about college players leading up to Wednesday's WNBA draft might not even be in the pool of potential draftees.
Tennessee's redshirt sophomore Candace Parker has said she will not be entering it, although technically she would be eligible. That's because she's scheduled to get her degree from Tennessee in the same calendar year as this draft. Also eligible is LSU junior Sylvia Fowles -- thanks to the fact that she will turn 22 in this calendar year.

The Ark of Taste Docks in Turin, Will Your Favorite Foods be on Board?
21 Jul 14
Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre will take place October 23 – 27, 2014, and what happens in those five days could have a profound impact on the future of our diets and of our planet. Think that sounds dramatic? Not when you consider that just in the past hundred years, some 75% of plant genetic diversity has been lost, and up to six livestock breeds are lost each month. If biodiversity continues to disappear at this rate, what will our food system look like four generations from now? The Slow Food Ark of Taste is a unique project that documents foods that are at risk of extinction. No other organization in the world is calling attention to the connections between the loss of agricultural biodiversity with environmental degradation, the loss of income and opportunities for small producers, and our disappearing culture in the form of recipes, rituals and traditions. But what also makes the Ark unique is the involvement of thousands of individuals around the world who have taken the time to tell us about these products – about a favorite cheese that was always part of a particular holiday meal that's now difficult to find; about a drought-tolerant legume their mother would grow and sell at the market to help provide for the family; or about the a peculiar variety of rice, stickier and sweeter than others, used in a favorite family recipe. This October, the hundreds of thousands of visitors to Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre will have the opportunity to share their culture through their endangered foods by bringing with them a product to board on the Ark of Taste, a six hundred square meter physical display dedicated to agricultural biodiversity. If you'll be at the event, we need you to join us in this fight to stop biodiversity loss by bringing a product from your culture to save! If you can't make it to the event (or can't bring your favorite livestock breed on the plane to Turin!) please use our online nomination form to tell us about your product. The Ark of Taste is your story, and we can't tell it without you!

An Upset Cormier Wishes Someone At Strikeforce Would Have Told Him | MMA NEWS
Yesterday the world of MMA took yet another blow.
Strikeforce officials took to the media circuit yesterday to announce it would be cancelling its second straight show scheduled to air on Showtime.
After losing the Melendez vs. Healy card, Strikeforce was unable to secure an opponent on Nov. 3 for Strikeforce HW Grand Prix champion, Daniel Cormier and co-headliner/middleweight champion Luke Rockhold was forced off the same fight card due to injury.
"I wish somebody would have told me something," Cormier stated. "This is unbelievable. I'm very upset. I just want to be informed. That's all. I don't think that's asking for too much."

Literature on the Indian Police is a mixed bag of some extraordinarily good writing and some trash that is eminently forgettable. Belonging undoubtedly to the former genre is the book under review, woven out of entries in the diaries of an outstanding police leader. My regret is that I never got to know K.F. Rustamji, who headed the Madhya Pradesh Police and later became the founder-Director General of the Border Security Force, an organisation that is the pride of the Ind ian Police for the high professional standards it has set and the zeal with which it has guarded our borders. It was not a little due to his dynamism and foresight that the BSF is regarded today as the best of the Central Police Organisations (CPOs) that work under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Coming as it did in the wake of Pakistani incursions into the Rann of Cutch, and the subsequent war with Pakistan, the BSF fitted admirably into the scheme of things as a second line of defence. That the BSF received, in its infant days, such mature leadership as was provided by Rustamji proved a great advantage to it.
Drawn into the Indian Police (earlier known as the Imperial Police) in 1938, Rustamji spent his early days in the Madhya Pradesh Police. His account of life in the districts, with all its trials and tribulations, makes interesting reading. Contrary to the popular impression in those days, the English supervisor was not always fair or honest, and he was known to promoting intrigues through his favourites. Rustamji was at the receiving end of the stick. Undeterred by such tactics, he plodded to build up a formidable reputation for professionalism, a reputation that swiftly carried him up the hierarchy.
Post-Independence, he joined the Intelligence Bureau in 1952 and immediately thereafter the Prime Minister's Office as Jawaharlal Nehru's Chief Security Officer, a recognition for his abilities and professional stature. The next six years were remarkable for the bond the two men, so different from each other, were to establish. A lesser man than Rustamji would have exploited the relationship to his own advantage. For him, however, this was sheer dedicated work that the Almighty had ordained for him when he joined the IP. It is not surprising that Rustamji is better known for his association with Nehru than for the wonderful transformation he was to bring about in the Madhya Pradesh Police and his personal efforts to shape the BSF. His subsequent tenure as the IGP of M.P. was eventful, especially for the dexterous planning that was needed for neutralising the dacoits in the Chambal Valley.
One irritant here was the parallel movement run by Vinobha Bhave to persuade the bandits to surrender, something that worked at cross purposes with what the police were trying to do. Rustamji respected the Gandhian leader, but this did not stop him from taking the firm position that Vinobha's movement was demoralising the police. A summons from the Central government in 1965 to raise a new para-military force, later to be christened the BSF, was a due reward for his services at the State level.
'Liberation of Bangla Desh' is an informative chapter on how the BSF performed in the momentous days of 1971, when it played a stellar role in the war between India and Pakistan which broke out as a reaction to the events that led to the break-up of Pakistan. Honours came Rustamji's way unsought, even after retirement. He was awarded Padma Vibhushan, the highest civilian honour that a policeman has got till now. Membership of the National Police Commission (1977) provided yet another opportunity for him to work towards reforming the Indian Police, a cause to which he was dedicated right through his distinguished career. Not many will know that he was the man behind India's first Public Interest Litigation (PIL). This was an offshoot of a two-part article he wrote for a leading daily on the conditions of under-trial prisoners in a Bihar jail, which he visited during his assignment with the NPC. The country should be grateful to Rustamji for this signal service alone.
This is not an autobiography in the traditional sense. Rustomji left behind 3,500 pages of the diaries he maintained between 1938 and 1970. To have produced a cogent account of all the endeavours of an all-time great policeman from out of those diaries is a remarkable feat. P.V. Rajgopal, again a policeman from M.P., who went on to head the National Police Academy, Hyderabad, deserves all kudos for some painstaking and imaginative editing. This monumental exercise should not, however, go in vain. I would like every police officer, whatever his rank, to read Rustamji's life and learn some valuable lessons on how to shape the police into an honest, credible, and people-friendly force. Emulating him is difficult, but every police officer in the country should at least try. We need any number of Rustamjis to stem the rot that has set in, something that has affected the police image, almost beyond repair.

"Of course we wanted to hear more, but we were just glad that the bishop took the opportunity to speak," McDonald told "Good Morning America" Monday. "I think he did a good job of combining the legal, the spiritual, the moral aspects of all that is going on."
Long has vehemently denied the men's claims in written statements released last week but not Sunday.
"It will be tried in the court of justice, and dealt with in the court of justice," he said. "I feel like David, against Goliath, but I've got five rocks, and I haven't thrown one yet."
Although parishioners were seen applauding thunderously for Long during the service, others said they are losing some faith in their pastor.
"He wasn't genuine," one woman said as she left the church Sunday. "It was very heartbreaking."
And there may be more lawsuits on the way.
"We heard perhaps that there are even others coming," McDonald said. "But we don't know all the details. Everything is not as it seems."
McDonald said the accusations have implications that will eventually reach far beyond Long and the New Birth church in terms of how the country views the black church and the role of the mega-church.
"Our prayer is that there will be wholeness at the end of the day," he said. "My prayer is that it doesn't go to trial."

The condensation will dry out after the camera warms up. Sometimes water proof and air tight camera bags can work against you. Maybe breathable canvas bags would be better? I've had my Domke for over 20 years and it's worked well for me under all climates including rain. The Domke has a plastic liner inside the cover of the bag to keep out rain. The rest is breatheable duck canvas.

That hit was plenty fair. Atleast by a quarter of an inch.
-Steve Stone
I've been at Bengals games sitting behind two Ravens fans and I gave them 'some harassment' saying things about Ray Lewis being a thug or that the only good thing Baltimore ever had moved to Indianapolis.
Those things were some harassment.
What those people got was not harassment, it was assaulted.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
There is no equating this with "harassment."
I usually am pretty easy-going and will laugh at a good joke, or some light-hearted taunting. But that display was disgusting. Those people deserve to spend a night in jail. It's criminal.

What are the damages in the lawsuit? Does that mean the bullied kid can sue the neighborhood kids when he is a victim of a snowball attack?
If I was summoned for jury duty because someone was suing over getting hit by snowballs with no injury, I'd hit him with snowballs myself for wasting my time.
Is it acceptable behavior? No. The Eagles organization should have escorted the Niners fans away and into the nearest club level seats to finish watching the game. But a lawsuit? Frivolous litigation.
But as for football games...I've witnessed Penn State fans jump Michigan fans at Beaver Stadium. I've witnessed fights between Giants and Redskins fans...during the game.
I'm not saying what the Eagles fans did to the 49ers fans was right. I'm just saying this is nothing new, and frankly, not even that bad compared to the more severe things that opposing fans have had done to them during a game or at a tailgate. The Niner fans shouldn't have had this done to them, but they also should have known that there was a good chance of something like this happening when they're going into a hostile area like that, just it being the two of them.
All I got to say is, the NFC East has one of the most fierce division rivalries in all of sports, and getting snowballs thrown at them isn't one of the worst things that could have happened to them. Like it or hate it, it's the way the sports environment is in certain places of the country.
That hit was plenty fair. Atleast by a quarter of an inch.
-Steve Stone
I guess I just don't understand the argument that because it happens it's okay. Like Joseph said, there's an acceptable amount of heckling and even harassment you should expect as an opposing fan. But when it comes to being pelted repeatedly with snow balls (which, given how icy they are, could do some serious damage) or flat out assaulted, or being repeatedly threatened with bodily harm, doesn't that cross a line?
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
I never said just because it happens, it's okay. Simply, it's been this way a while now and this behavior is nothing new. I'm not supporting the behavior, simply acknowledging that harassment or "assault via snowball" is something that opposing fans should expect when they go to a game. Again, I don't agree with it, but that's just reality for you.
Now, if you want to start some coalition against the unnecessary treatment of opposing fans at sporting events, by than all means. Just know it'd be a up-hill fight.
That hit was plenty fair. Atleast by a quarter of an inch.
-Steve Stone
All I could think of watching that is shelling out several hundred dollars for tickets, taking my sons to a game where the Bengals are the away team, and getting pelted like that for the mere fact we are rooting for the visiting team? How would I explain that to my sons? "Well, gee, boys, this is just the way human beings treat each other. Learn to live with it." I guess I could give them a lesson in human depravity?
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
It felt so good that all the rows of Eagle's fans behind them cleared out. That was a ridiculous display. And a person should expect that sort of behavior in public at a sporting event?
Honestly, again I'm not condoning what the Eagles fans did. But what do you expect? A civilized experience between fans? Of all things, it was snowballs too. I don't know where you have lived or experienced sporting events, but assuming you've been limited to the Midwest, it's on the bottom of the list as far as violent acts towards opposing fans. Been to a SEC rivalry game? Big 12? Big 10? NFC East? If a snowball fight was the worst thing that happened at some of these games, it would be considered a relatively good (safe) game. And all of these pail in comparison to soccer games in Europe (England, specifically) -- you want to talk about assaults during a game?
That hit was plenty fair. Atleast by a quarter of an inch.
-Steve Stone
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
This was not some drunken taunting gone a little rowdy. You can be seriously injured from one or two snowballs if there is any ice packed into it, but more than 20 people launching a steady stream of them for over a minute? It's nothing short of assault.
I don't see how you can minimize this. We're not talking about typical fan behavior. This was the equivalent of a criminal action by not one or two fans, but a couple dozen at once.
And yes, Eric, in this case, security let this happen and did not do anything to remove the violators of these snowball attacks. In my mind, that's grounds for a lawsuit. They have a duty to protect fans to the extent possible. When you allow other fans to launch snowballs at someone, you're just as guilty.

Advertiser Self-Checkout Can Boost Sales Of Display Ads
by Steve Pelletier on Nov 24, 11:16 AM
In a prior post, I hypothesized that one of the reasons that publishers have too much unsold inventory is because of the overall lack of "self-serve" systems. Buyers simply do not have access to the publisher's standard products -- common ad products such as IAB banners and other basic products that a publisher offers to its customers -- without the assistance of a salesperson. This creates friction in the sales process that keeps publishers from maximum sell-through-rates. Display advertising needs to adopt a more direct approach to sales if it is to fully reach its potential.

Woe The Digital Sale: Why No Cherry-Picking?
by Amy Auerbach, Jason Krebs on Nov 20, 1:00 PM
Question from the mailbag:
Why can't I just cherry-pick placements that I need for my media plan? I've been working with a direct response client for a while now, and I know what works. When I RFP sites, I can't just get what I want. I have to buy other placements that don't perform in order to get what does. Lucky for them, the ROI is still there but why is this the case?

The Day The News Died
by David Koretz on Nov 12, 10:50 PM
The bizarre concept that is newstainment has crept into the American lexicon and bombarded our TV sets. Ideological slants on the news, coupled with maniacal talking heads aiming for shock value over substance, are dangerous and growing trends. The misguided notion that it is okay to treat news as entertainment -- as long as it captures viewers -- has far-reaching ramifications for our democracy, and for online publishing as well.

The Problem With Selling Ice To Eskimos
by Ari Rosenberg on Nov 5, 10:45 AM
Throughout my career, I have always heard how a great salesperson can sell anything, but I have never bought into this concept. I can't sell ice to an Eskimo. I can't sell cars, homes or shower curtain rings. I can only sell media. And within media, I can only sell a well-branded content property. It gets even worse for my career opportunities: I can only sell media for a well-branded content property that has sold me as a consumer.

Hello. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Katy, 23, I am married to Jon, 42. We have a 2y9m old named Kaylee. She is my first and Jon's 4th daughter.
I am a Stay At Home Mom for the past year. And he works 65+ hours a week, so Kaylee and I are alone the majority of the day, including 2-3 nights a week. His job is very demanding and has to leave when the company needs him...
I am on my wits end. Today, just completely broke me down. We took a walk through our neighboorhood which led us 1/4 mile down the road from our house. A neighbor opened the door to let out their dog that was taller than my waistline. Well Kaylee, being an animal lover, decided to run up to this beast and try to pet him, when the dog jumped up like he was going to pounce on her, my neighbor and I ran up to them and seperated them both fearing the worst... and my 2 year old just giggling and laughing like she wasnt in danger. Well, I pulled her away and I told her it was time to go home. Well she started crying and screaming bloody murder all the way home... you d think that i was kiknapping her!
Well all the neighbors stared and i couldn't take it anymore, I tried to hold it in and not yell at her, and tell her that it was time to go home, she even pulled my hair and slapped me on the neck/shoulder and yelled at me to let her go. I made it home, and i just shut down. I made breakfast and then held her in silence because she cried for the next 50 minutes non stop. I really need some support. Its been over a year of this. She was the easiest baby to care for only cried when she was hungry and was so sweet and easy going. But, she was always adventorous, full of energy, persisitent and knew what she wanted from the start. I just feel like a failure right now. I meet all her immediate needs, but i feel like i failed on how she "needs" me to parent "her!"
Thank you for reading ladies.

CHENNAI: The Bhagavad Gita is one of the three important scriptures (Prasthanatraya) in Vedanta. Though the preceptors have interpreted the text according to their philosophical standpoints there is no argument regarding its import as the varied interpretations only cater to the preference of the spiritual seeker with regard to the path to salvation.
In his discourse, Sri C.L.Ramakrishnan said the 18 chapters of the Gita had been divided into three equal sections of six chapters in the Advaita school to expound the paths (Yoga) of action (Karma), devotion (Bhakti) and knowledge (Jnana). Madhusudana Saraswati explains that these three sections are elucidation of one of the important Upanishad aphorisms, `Tat tvam asi', asserting the identity of the individual Self (Atman) with the Absolute (Brahman). The first six chapters delineate the importance of performing action without attachment to the result, which will cleanse the mind of the spiritual aspirant of its latent tendencies, which impel the mind in the form of desires. Thus the objective of Karma yoga is preparation of the mind for the next stage of practising devotion, which is set out in the next six chapters.
The last section is devoted to the exposition of Jnana yoga, which is explained by the knower (the individual) and the field of knowledge (matter with its evolutes along with the Self). The knowledge that it is the Absolute, which resides as the Self in all is the highest wisdom, which removes ignorance leading to liberation from bondage. An individual does not realise he is the blissful Self (Atman) and thereby identifies with his body-mind-intellect personality because of ignorance. So all spiritual practices are intended to remove this delusion after which the Self will shine in its pristine splendour.
Sankara opens his commentary on the Brahmasutra with man's delusion by which he imposes that which is not there on that which is eternal. Vedanta uses the oft-quoted analogy of mistaking a rope for a snake to explain this phenomenon. So, the purpose of Vedanta is to remove man's ignorance which only knowledge can bring about.

Ship named for Coronado called "Crown of the Fleet" The littoral combat ship Coronado is commissioned in city known for rich Navy history, decorated heroes
What does it mean to live in Coronado? The thunder of F/A-18 jets overhead. Tough-looking Navy SEAL recruits running down the beach. Decorated war heroes living next door.
These deep naval roots were honored Saturday when the Navy commissioned its newest warship, Coronado, in a ceremony at North Island Naval Air Station.
"I want the crew to know that they carry the hearts and thanks of all the residents of Coronado," said Susan Ring Keith, the ship's sponsor and a Coronado native whose father and stepfather were both Navy admirals.
"We are so proud that you carry our name."
The littoral combat ship Coronado is the third to be named for the city that is small in size — only 26,600 residents — but large in the annals of Navy history.
It's considered the birthplace of naval aviation, as the first Navy pilots came to an early version of North Island in 1911 for flight training.
These days, the city is home to an aircraft carrier base and the headquarters of the Navy SEALs. It also houses the offices of the head of naval aviation, known as the Navy "Air Boss," and the commander of the Pacific surface fleet.
Among the 4,500 people who attended Saturday's commissioning were plenty who themselves charted part of that history.
Dawn Benson was born in Coronado to a Navy family. Her dad was an enlisted pilot on the Langley, the Navy's first aircraft carrier. She remembers holiday parties aboard the ship while it was docked in San Diego Bay.
"We're old-school Navy," said Benson, who went on to serve 35 years in the Navy nurse corps and retired as a commander.
It's common belief that Coronado has the nation's highest concentration of retired admirals. Whether or not that's true, it's certain that the city's neat residential streets are full of decorated naval heroes.
World War II ace Dean Laird lives there, as did legendary aviator Rear Adm. James Ramage until his death in 2012.
The late Vice Adm. James Stockdale, the highest-ranking American prisoner of war during Vietnam and a Medal of Honor recipient, lived in Coronado until his death in 2005. His widow, Sybil, attended Saturday's ceremony.
Adm. Mark Ferguson, the keynote speaker, talked about what it is like to live in Coronado. The Navy's No. 2 officer resided there earlier in his career when he commanded the destroyer Benfold. Stockdale was a neighbor.
"We used to watch him walk by our house every day. My wife would point him out to our children as a great American," Ferguson said.
David Allyn and Ray Grimm drove over from Lakeside for the ceremony. Both former Navy men said visiting Coronado transports them back to the days of crisp white uniforms and ribbons on their chests.
"As soon as I cross the bridge, it's like coming home," said Grimm, a chief petty officer meteorologist who retired in 1977 after participating in the Navy's recovery of the Apollo 8 space capsule.
The newest Coronado is the Navy's fourth littoral combat ship, a new vessel line headquartered in San Diego.

Treasure Coast Fishing Report: Nov. 4
Thinking about wetting a line in the western county lakes — better take along the hip waders, high ones. Last week's rain pushed it over the top out near Blue Cypress Lake and the water is up into the parking area. According to Army Corps of Engineers reports, water is draining slowly from the western lands and water conservation areas like Fort Drum and the surrounding marshes.
The offshore October that never was is becoming the November that isn't either. After losing the final two weekends of October to winds and rain, a small craft advisory is in effect through Friday morning. Worse yet, if the forecast holds up, that could easily extend on through the weekend. As always, check the weather thoroughly prior to leaving port, but it might mean inshore fishing again.
Runoff from the North Fork is still dirtying the St. Lucie River. It is a natural process enhanced by urbanization. None of the water is from Lake Okeechobee — yet. Greg Scherer said inshore fishing in early October was excellent with redfish and tripletail caught as far upstream as Palm City. He thinks lake water will come by Thanksgiving, if rains don't let up. Sadly, he may be right.
Perhaps the best looking weekend fishery appears to be bass fishing at Florida's greatest, biggest and most controversial lake. Water is still dumping into the lake as it runs off the lands of the Kissimmee River Basin that extends some 50 miles wide and 120 miles long north of the 730-square-mile lake. Lake O's thriving fishery is accustomed to rainy seasons like this one, so look for a good bite.

Sean Hannity: World's worst person
Rightwing entertainer Sean Hannity didn't let facts get in his way (again) on a recent show with aging ex-football coach Lou Holtz when he confused weather with climate.
Fri, Mar 06, 2009 at 03:20 PM
There are few people in the world who I dislike as much as Sean Hannity. Keith Olberman names him World's Worst Person for an interview he did with Lou Holtz (a football coach, really?) in which they pushed the canard that weather is equal to climate (it's not) and the fact that it snows in the winter means that global warming isn't happening (it is still very much happening).
