A door is a panel or barrier, usually hinged or sliding, that is used to cover an opening in a wall or partition going into a building or space. A door can be opened to give access and closed more or less securely. The term door is also applied to the opening itself, more properly known as the doorway.
Doors are nearly universal in buildings of all kinds, allowing passage between the inside and outside, and between internal rooms. When open, they admit ventilation and light.
The purpose of a door closure is primarily to give occupants of a space privacy and security by regulating access. For this purpose doors are equipped with a variety of fittings ranging from simple latches to locks.
The door is used to control the physical atmosphere within a space by enclosing it, excluding air drafts, so that interiors may be more effectively heated or cooled. Doors are significant in preventing the spread of fire.
Doors also have an aesthetic role in creating an impression of what lies beyond. They are also used to screen areas of a building for aesthetic purposes, keeping formal and utility areas separate. They act as a barrier to noise.
Doors are often symbolically endowed with ritual purposes, and the guarding or receiving of the keys to a door, or being granted access to a door can have special significance. Similarly, doors and doorways frequently appear in metaphorical or allegorical situations, literature and the arts, often as a portent of change.
When framed in wood for snug fitting of a door, the doorway consists of two vertical jambs on either side, a lintel or head jamb at the top, and perhaps a threshold at the bottom. When a door has more than one movable section, one of the sections may be called a leaf.
See door furniture for a discussion of attachments to doors such as doorhandles and doorknobs. Doors are also found in cupboards and other furniture, cages, and vehicles.
A door may slide along tracks, pivot on hinges or fold.
The door may also slide between two wall panels (pocket door).
In the case of rotation, the axis is usually vertical, but e.g. for garage doors often horizontal, above the door opening. Sometimes the axis of rotation is, with a special construction, not in the plane of the door, on the other side than that in which the door opens, to reduce the space required on the side to which the door opens. This is sometimes the case in a train, for the door to the toilet, opening inward.
Many kinds of doors have specific names, depending on their purpose. The most common variety of door consists of a single rigid panel that fills the doorway, hinged along one side so that it can fold away from the doorway in one direction but not in the other. Many variations on this basic design are possible, such as "double" doors that have two adjacent independent panels hinged on each side of the doorway.
A trapdoor is a door that is oriented horizontally in a floor or ceiling, often accessed via a ladder.
A stable door is divided in half horizontally. The top half can be opened to allow the horse to be fed, while the bottom half can be closed to keep the animal inside. Stable doors are also known as dutch doors. It is also the pen name of Daniel J. LaPorte.
A swing door has special hinges that allow it to open either outwards or inwards, and is usually sprung to keep it closed. Saloon doors are a pair of lightweight swing doors often found in public bars. Saloon doors, also known as cafe doors, often use double action hinges, which will return the door to the center, regardless of which direction it is opened, due to the double action springs in the doors. Saloon doors that only extend from knee-level to chest-level are known as batwing doors.
A blind door is a door with no visible trim or operable components. It is designed to blend with the adjacent wall in all finishes, and visually to be a part of the wall, a disguised door.
An up-and-over door is often used in garages. Instead of hinges it has a mechanism, often counterbalanced or sprung, that allows it to be lifted so that it rests horizontally above the opening. Also known as an overhead door.
A barn door is a door on a barn. It is often/always found on barns, and because of a barn's immense size (often) doors are subsequently big for utility.
A French door, also called a French window, is a door that has multiple windows ("lights") set into it, the full length of the door. Traditional French doors are assembled from individual small pieces of glass and mullions. These doors are also known as true divided lite[sic] French doors. French doors made of double-pane glass (on exterior doors for insulation reasons) may have a decorative grille embedded between the panes, or may also be true divided lite French doors. The decorative grille may also be superimposed on top of single pane of glass in the door.
A louvre door has fixed or movable wooden fins (often called slats or louvers) which permit open ventilation whilst preserving privacy and preventing the passage of light to the interior. Being relatively weak structures, they are most commonly used for wardrobes and drying rooms, where security is of less importance than good ventilation, although a very similar structure is commonly used to form window shutters.
A flush door is a completely smooth door, having plywood or MDF fixed over a light timber frame, the hollow parts of which are often filled with a cardboard core material. Flush doors are most commonly employed in the interior of a dwelling, although slightly more substantial versions are occasionally used as exterior doors, especially within hotels and other buildings containing many independent dwellings.
A moulded door has the same structure as that of flush door. The only difference is that the surface material is a moulded skin made of HDF / MDF. It is commonly used as interior doors. A ledge and brace door is a door made from multiple vertical planks fixed together by two horizontal planks (the ledges) and kept square by a diagonal plank (the brace).
A garden door is any door that opens to a garden or backyard. It is often used specifically for double French doors in place of a sliding glass door. In such a configuration, it has the advantage of a very large opening for moving large objects in and out.
A pet door (also known as a doggy door or cat flap) is an opening in a door to allow pets to enter and exit without the main door being opened. It may be simply covered by a rubber flap or it may be an actual door hinged on the top that the pet can push through. Pet doors may be mounted in a sliding glass door as a new (permanent or temporary) panel. Pet doors may be unidirectional, only allowing pets to exit. Pet doors may be electronic, only allowing pets with a special electronic tag to enter.
A wicket door is a normal sized door built into a much larger one, such as the gate of a city or castle.
A bifold door is door unit that has 2 to 4 sections, folding in pairs. The doors can open from either side for one pair, or fold off both sides for two pairs. Wood is the most common material, and doors may also be metal or glass. Bifolds are most commonly made for closets, but may also be used as units between rooms.
A bypass door is a door unit that has 2 or more sections. The doors can slide from each direction on an overhead track, sliding past each other. They are most commonly used in closets, in order to access one side of the closet at a time. The doors in a bypass unit will overlap slightly, in order not to have a gap between them.
A pocket door is a door that slides on rails, rather than swinging on hinges, and, when opened, slides into an open cavity within a wall.
A sliding glass door, sometimes called an Arcadia door, is a door made of glass that slides open and sometimes has a screen. Sliding glass doors are common in many houses, particularly as an entrance to the backyard. Such doors are also popular for use for the entrances to commercial structures.
A false door is a wall decoration that looks like a door. In ancient Egyptian architecture, this was a common element in a tomb, the false door representing a gate to the afterlife. They can also be found in the funerary architecture of the desert tribes (e.g., Libyan Ghirza).
A revolving door typically consists of three or four doors (wings/leaves) that hang on a center shaft and rotate one way about a vertical axis. Between the point of access and the point of exit the user walks through an airlock. The door may be motorized, or manually people use pushbars. People can walk out and into the building at the same time. Revolving doors are a good air seal from the outside. Also minimize A/C and Heating Costs climate control from the building. This type of door is also often seen as a mark of prestige and glamour for a building and it not unusual for neighbouring buildings to install their own revolving doors when a rival building gets one.
A Butterfly Door is so-called because of its two "wings". It consists of a double-wide panel with its rotation axle in the centre, effectively creating two separate openings when the door is opened. Butterfly doors are made to rotate open in one direction (usually counterclockwise), and rotate closed in the opposite direction. The door is not equipped with handles, so it is a "push" door. This is for safety, because if it could open in both directions, someone approaching the door might be caught off guard by someone else opening the other side, thus impacting the first person. Such doors are popular in public transit stations, as it has a large capacity, and when the door is opened, traffic passing in both directions keeps the door open. They are particularly popular in underground subway stations, because they are heavy, and when air currents are created by the movement of trains, the force will be applied to both wings of the door, thus equalizing the force on either side, keeping the door shut.
Automatic doors are powered open and closed either by power, spring, or both. There are three methods by which an automatic door is activated.
Inward opening doors are doors that can only be opened or forced open from outside a building. Such doors pose a substantial fire risk to occupants of occupied buildings when they are locked. As such doors can only be forced open from the outside, those within buildings are prevented from escape, unless people outside the building can force the doors open and off their hinges as there is no way to lever a door open from inside. In commercial and retail situations, manufacturers have included in the design a mechanism that allows an inward opening door to be pushed open outwards in the event of an emergency and this is also a requirement by code. This is known as a 'breakaway' feature. Pushing the door outward at it's closed position, through a switch mechanism, disconnects power to the operator and allows the door to swing outward. Upon returning the door to the closed position, power is restored.
1 - A sensor detects traffic is approaching. Sensors for automatic doors are generally:
2 - A switch is operated manually, perhaps after security checks. This can be a push button switch or a swipe card.
3 - The user pushes, or pulls the door, once the door detects the movement it completes the open and close cycle. These are also known as power-assisted doors.
In addition to activate sensors automatic doors are generally fitted with safety sensors. These are usually an infrared curtain or beam, but can be a pressure mat fitted on the swing side of the door. The purpose of the safety sensor is to prevent the door opening or slow its speed if an object is detected in its path whilst opening and to prevent the door closing or reactivate it if an object is detected in its path whilst closing.
Blast-proof doors, nuclear-blast proof doors, etc.
A tambour door is made of narrow horizontal slats and rolls up and down along vertical tracks and is typically found in entertainment centres and cabinets.
A selfbolting door is a door that has special hinges that allows a door leaf to slide into the place of the bolt after complete closing.
Panel doors (doors built with frame and panel construction, also called stile and rail doors):
Plank and batten doors, (an older design consisting primarily of vertical slats):
Ledged and braced doors Consists of vertical tongue and grooved boards held together with battens and diagonal braces.
Frame and filled door Consists of a solid timber frame, filled on one face, face with Tongue and Grooved boards. Quite often used externally with the boards on the weather face.
Flush doors (many modern doors, including most interior doors):
Moulded doors
Door swings
Door swings, or handing, are always determined from the secure side of the door (ie. the side you use the key on, outside to inside, or public to private).
Sizing: A standard US door size 36" x 80" (0.91 m x 2.03 m).
Note: In Australia, this is different. The fridge rule applies (you can't stand in a fridge, the door always opens towards you) - If the hinges are on the left then its a left hand (or left hung) door. If the hinges are on the right then its a right hand (or right hung) door. See the Australian Standards for Installation of Timber Doorsets, AS 1909-1984 pg 6.
The earliest records are those represented in the paintings of the Egyptian tombs, in which they are shown as single or double doors, each in a single piece of wood. In Egypt, where the climate is intensely dry, there would be no fear of their warping, but in other countries it would be necessary to frame them, which according to Vitruvius (iv. 6.) was done with stiles (sea/si) and rails (see: Frame and panel): the spaces enclosed being filled with panels (tympana) let into grooves made in the stiles and rails. The stiles were the vertical boards, one of which, tenoned or hinged, is known as the hanging stile, the other as the middle or meeting stile. The horizontal cross pieces are the top rail, bottom rail, and middle or intermediate rails. The most ancient doors were in timber, those made for King Solomon's temple being in olive wood (I Kings vi. 31-35), which were carved and overlaid with gold. The doors dwelt upon in Homer would appear to have been cased in silver or brass. Besides Olive wood, elm, cedar, oak and cypress were used.
All ancient doors were hung by pivots at the top and bottom of the hanging stile which worked in sockets in the lintel and sill, the latter being always in some hard stone such as basalt or granite. Those found at Nippur by Dr. Hilprecht, dating from 2000 B.C. were in dolerite. The tenons of the gates at Balawat were sheathed with bronze (now in the British Museum). These doors or gates were hung in two leaves, each about wide and . high; they were encased with bronze bands or strips, 10 in. high, covered with repouss decoration of figures, etc. The wood doors would seem to have been about 3 in. thick, but the hanging stile was over diameter. Other sheathings of various sizes in bronze have been found, which proves this to have been the universal method adopted to protect the wood pivots. In the Hauran in Syria, where timber is scarce the doors were made in stone, and one measuring by is in the British Museum; the band on the meeting stile shows that it was one of the leaves of a double door. At Kuffeir near Bostra in Syria, Burckhardt found stone doors, 9 to . high, being the entrance doors of the town. In Etruria many stone doors are referred to by Dennis.
The ancient Greek and Roman doors were either single doors, double doors, sliding doors or folding doors, in the last case the leaves were hinged and folded back. In Eumachia, is a painting of a door with three leaves. In the tomb of Theron at Agrigentum there is a single four-panel door carved in stone. In the Blundell collection is a bas-relief of a temple with double doors, each leaf with five panels. Among existing examples, the bronze doors in the church of SS. Cosmas and Damiano, in Rome, are important examples of Roman metal work of the best period; they are in two leaves, each with two panels, and are framed in bronze. Those of the Pantheon are similar in design, with narrow horizontal panels in addition, at the top, bottom and middle. Two other bronze doors of the Roman period are in the Lateran Basilica.
Heron of Alexandria created the earliest known automatic door in the 1st century AD during the era of Roman Egypt. The first foot-sensor-activated automatic door was made in China during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui (r. 604–618), who had one installed for his royal library. The first automatic gate operators were later created in 1206 by the Arabic inventor, Al-Jazari.
The doors of the church of the Nativity at Bethlehem (6th century) are covered with plates of bronze, cut out in patterns: those of Hagia Sophia at Constantinople, of the 8th and 9th century, are wrought in bronze, and the west doors of the cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle (9th century), of similar manufacture, were probably brought from Constantinople, as also some of those in St. Marks, Venice.
Of the 11th and 12th centuries there are numerous examples of bronze doors, the earliest being one at Hildesheim, Germany (1015). Of others in South Italy and Sicily, the following are the finest: in Sant Andrea, Amalfi (1060); Salerno (1099); Canosa (1111); Troia, two doors (1119 and 1124); Ravello (1179), by Barisano of Trani, who also made doors for Trani cathedral; and in Monreale and Pisa cathedrals, by Bonano of Pisa. In all these cases the hanging stile had pivots at the top and bottom. The exact period when the hinge was substituted is not quite known, but the change apparently brought about another method of strengthening and decorating doors, viz, with wrought-iron bands of infinite varieties of design. As a rule three bands from which the ornamental work springs constitute the hinges, which have rings outside the hanging stiles fitting on to vertical tenons run into the masonry or wooden frame. There is an early example of the 12th century in Lincoln; in France the metal work of the doors of Notre Dame at Paris is perhaps the most beautiful in execution, but examples are endless throughout France and England.
Returning to Italy, the most celebrated doors are those of the Battistero di San Giovanni (Florence), which together with the door frames are all in bronze, the borders of the latter being perhaps the most remarkable: the modeling of the figures, birds and foliage of the south doorway, by Andrea Pisano (1330), and of the east doorway by Ghiberti (1425-1452), are of great beauty; in the north door (1402-1424) Ghiberti adopted the same scheme of design for the paneling and figure subjects in them as Andrea Pisano, but in the east door the rectangular panels are all filled, with bas-reliefs, in which Scripture subjects are illustrated with innumerable figures, these being probably the gates of Paradise of which Michelangelo speaks.
The doors of the mosques in Cairo were of two kinds; those which, externally, were cased with sheets of bronze or iron, cut out in decorative patterns, and incised or inlaid, with bosses in relief; and those in wood, which were framed with interlaced designs of the square and diamond, this latter description of work being Coptic in its origin. The doors of the palace at Palermo, which were made by Saracenic workmen for the Normans, are fine examples and in good preservation. A somewhat similar decorative class of door to these latter is found in Verona, where the edges of the stiles and rails are beveled and notched.
In the Renaissance period the Italian doors are quite simple, their architects trusting more to the doorways for effect; but in France and Germany the contrary is the case, the doors being elaborately carved, especially in the Louis XIV and Louis XV periods, and sometimes with architectural features such as columns and entablatures with pediment and niches, the doorway being in plain masonry. While in Italy the tendency was to give scale by increasing the number of panels, in France the contrary seems to have been the rule; and one of the great doors at Fontainebleau, which is in two leaves, is entirely carried out as if consisting of one great panel only.
The earliest Renaissance doors in France are those of the cathedral of St. Sauveur at Aix (1503). In the lower panels there are figures . high in Gothic niches, and in the upper panels a double range of niches with figures about . high with canopies over them, all carved in cedar. The south door of Beauvais Cathedral is in some respects the finest in France; the upper panels are carved in high relief with figure subjects and canopies over them. The doors of the church at Gisors (1575) are carved with figures in niches subdivided by classic pilasters superimposed. In St. Maclou at Rouen are three magnificently carved doors; those by Jean Goujon have figures in niches on each side, and others in a group of great beauty in the center. The other doors, probably about forty to fifty years later, are enriched with bas-reliefs, landscapes, figures and elaborate interlaced borders.
In England in the 17th century the door panels were raised with bolection or projecting moldings, sometimes richly carved, round them; in the 18th century the moldings worked on the stiles and rails were carved with the egg and tongue ornament.

Pictures of Identical Twins
I'm sort of tempted to get one. Or perhaps a photoshopped official looking DNA Identical Twin certificate will do. Shrunken down to fit in my wallet. And laminated! That would save me $160 dollars and give me the last word every time. "Look here, it's an official DNA test certificate! Proof!" Nope, that won't work. I feel like an idiot for even thinking of that idea.
Here's the pictures I took today. I wanted to put them side by side for comparison. They do look different, I know. But I promise they're identical. If Owen would stop scowling for one second, I could prove it. Maybe I should just say fraternal and be done with it. But, secretly, I think it's cooler if they are identical. Maybe I do care. Someone draft up a certificate stat!
What about you? Do you have twins? Are people always arguing what type they are?

adorable boys! I sat here and tried to tell them apart...but nope. no way. cute blog :)ReplyDelete
I would have guessed fraternal but I totally believe you! :) We get asked all the time if Andy and Natalie are twins. They are 17 months apart and are the exact same height and weight. They look a lot alike too. Luckily, no one has asked if they are identical! LOL We've even been asked a few times if they are triplets. 3 kids, 3 years.ReplyDelete
I always thought they looked identical, but these close up pictures really show their differences. Either way, they are really, really beautiful little boys.ReplyDelete
I never knew people would ask so many annoying questions about twins until I had mine.ReplyDelete
I also love the "wow, you really have your hands full" comments I get on a daily basis.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Target shoppers.
My somewhat arrogant doctor told me that my twins were 100% identical from the get-go. But my sister-in-law was told that hers were identical as well, until they found out the placenta had fused. So she was the one who first planted the seeds of doubt. People would say, "Are you sure they're identical? They don't look exactly alike." And I would be annoyed, because I wanted to know for sure. THEN, one day I was reading about twin to twin transfusion syndrome (which my girls had) and there it was: "TTTS ONLY occurs in identical twins" and Bam! Peace of mind at last. Back off, naysayers!ReplyDelete
To be honest with you I think they DO look alike. Looking at their features separately I find they both have the same nose, same eyes and almost same lips. They are adorable..ReplyDelete
Just found your blog this week and I'm enjoying it a lot ;)
My vote is identical.ReplyDelete
I was asked if Clark and Willa are twins. HUH? WHAT? For real? Clark was 3 weeks old and Willa was 2 yrs. Open your eyes dumb girl! Just because they are in a double stroller DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE TWINS.
Moe and I were asked if we were twins at Wet n Wild once - yeah for me. We were in bathing suits. haha
- AnonymousMay 21, 2011 at 9:58 PM
Are they even brothers? They don't look alike at all.ReplyDelete
Meme-and-he: Thanks!ReplyDelete
email@example.com : haha. that's crazy! i'm in the 3 kids in three year club too. Since my daughter's such a shrimp I get the triplets question a lot as well.
Rischel: haha! thanks!
Mary: haha--yes! the hands full comment. i hope i remember neeever to say that to anyone. so funny we all here the same stuff.
Hailey: yes, i've heard that too. I didn't know they had TTS, so scary! i actually don't know if we ever talked about our birth storied. that's good material. next time over macarons perhaps.
Gaby: thanks for checking my blog out! I thought their noses looked the same too.
Lindsay: haha. that's crazy/stupid! but she does fit into his pants (loved that picture). I would love to be either you or Moe's identical twin. but then i reallllly wouldn't have had chance with Nick Brown. haha
Jeannine: haha sadly, i do get that too. oh small talk, isn't it great.
oh wow. a million typos in that post. ignore please!ReplyDelete
I have a twin brother, and when people find our they ask me if we are identical....I try so hard to bite my tongue and not call them idiots...obviously we are not identical, he's a boy and I'm a girl!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 4, 2011 at 2:36 PM
I just had twin boys in January, and I was told early in my pregnancy that they were identical. As soon as I saw them for the first time I really didn't think they looked identical.. Now I look at your boys (by the way are very adorable!!) and they remind me of my twins, one has a thinner face then the other... The question that I'm asked all the time and that I hate so much is Do twins run in your family??? And the answer is no!!ReplyDelete
- Sarah HJune 16, 2011 at 12:32 PM
I have identical twin girls that are 5 years old. I don't even like to talk to strangers anymore because of all the blah strangers that talk to me. I for sure never talk to any strangers that have twins. I feel like I'm doing them a big favor. :)ReplyDelete
i have boy and girl twins and my 2 favorite questions are, "did you try for twins?" and "are they identical?". seriously, people! ;)ReplyDelete
- KellyjgleesonMarch 22, 2012 at 11:59 AM
First off LOVE your blog! Reading it is part of my routine in the morning at work before I really start "working." hahaReplyDelete
Living in NYC had always been a dream of mine until I made it happen a few years ago. I'm back in Cali now, but I still consider it my favorite city.
Ok, back to the point of my comment....I am a identical twin and have had to answer to the exact same questions that annoy you for the past 26 years of my life. My friends would argue with us saying that they didn't believe us. SO a few months ago we went in to get the DNA test....and not to any surprise we are IDENTICAL! I almost feel like we did it just so people would stop bugging us. BTW i like your idea of laminating it and keeping it in my purse at all times. haha
....some people still argue with us that we are not! ugh!

'Cause it's their business? My son, Harry, has a BFF who is 5 months younger than he {my dearst friend's youngest son} named Oscar. Both Oscar and Harry have blonde hair, but Oscar's is MUCH lighter. Oscar has green eyes, and Harry has huge brown eyes. Oscar is very big for his age and Harry is a skinny tall child. BUT, {because their mommas are a teeny bit evil} we dress them to match {and always have} and people ALWAYS ask, "Are they twins?" Sometimes I say yes and sometimes I admit that they're not.ReplyDelete
- KristintwinmommyMarch 30, 2012 at 6:27 PM
I can't believe I am reading this, I have the same issue right down to the shared chorion, and placenta- however my twins are 8 year old girls. I DID get them DNA tested because I just couldn't stand it, I knew they had to be, but so many people questioned me and made me feel like an idiot even though I knew I wasn't. The test did confirm they were identical but I do get sick of explaining it. Thanks for shareing they are adorable, and I think they do look alike, very much so-only difference I see is a mole. : ) Tried to post a pic, I will try again....ReplyDelete

Well pics won't work, if you want to see them for comparison sake from another mom with "nonidentical" identical twins e-mail me- email@example.com

Tesco 'Tesco Jubilee' by The Red Brick Road
Tesco has launched a TV campaign to highlight the supermarket's promotions for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The two ads are a humorous tribute to 50s-style advertising. Both were shot in black and white with that era's grainy film quality and outfits.

The MOVE block
This is a fragment of the LEGO NXT software desktop... the MOVE block is represented by the 2 gears. You drag this block onto the desktop to begin configuring it.
After dropping it on the desktop, it becomes this green block. These blocks are nice in that they do show some visual information on the block. I can look at this one and tell that it has defaulted to controlling Motors C and B. I can also tell that is defaults to have the motors move "forward" - I use the word in quotes because it does depend on how you have the motors configured. If you turn the motors 180 degrees, the terms "forward" and "backward" switch. Likewise, if you say that "forward" is "motor turns counter-clockwise" be careful. Flip the motor vertically 180 degrees or spin it horizontally 180 degrees, and the controls change I can visually see how much power has been applied (the middle orange icon that looks like a little gauge) and the last orange icon on the bottom right tells me if the motors is configured to turn a specific number of degrees, for an unlimited time, for a specified number of seconds, or (in this case) a specific number of rotations.
This image shows the configurable controls for the MOVE block. You can see where you can select Motors A, B, and/or C to control. Direction is next (up arrow is forward, down arrow is backward, other symbol is stop). Steering isn't my favorite control because I just don't use it that often. You can configure a bot to perform a slow or fast turn in the direction of the motors you select (B or C) by dragging the little controller left or right. The power allows you to set the speed of the motor (how fast it turns) and the Duration drop-down menu allows you to select "Unlimited" (spins until a condition stops it or YOU do) or define a number (in the other field - it shows a 1 in the image) to correspond to "Degrees", "Rotations", or "Seconds." Finally, you can choose to "Brake" or "Coast"... braking stops the bot's motor(s) immediately but takes power to do so... coasting saves on battery power, but doesn't give you good stopping control.
More block coverage to come...

I'm interested in using Mindstorms NXT to build a rudimentary Logo turtle for use in a elementary school program.
I notice you mentioned that the motor can be turned a specific number of degrees and then braked to stop.
Can you or anyone else comment on this motor's stepping accuracy? If, for example, you attached a long beam to it (preferably off to one side so it is unevenly loaded) and stepped it 1 degree at a time 360 times (with braking), would the beam end up where it started?
If the resolution of the degree stepping is less precise, that's not a big concern. I'm more interested in whether a NXT-based turtle has a chance of winding up where it started if it's told something like "repeat 12 [forward 100 right 30]".

Is this program RoboLAB 2.9, or the brand new program included?
Is it based on LabVIEW?

I'm testing this now on my NXT set: 360 1-deg steps with pauses inbetween to see roughly where it will come out... It's within about 5 degrees. Another test is to ask the motor to do a reasonable number of back-and-forth moves to see if it keeps "homing" to the same location. I asked the motor to repeat a forward rotation of 120°, followed by a brief pause, and the a reverse 120° rotation and pause. After 50 repetitions of this... the motor is again back to the "start" position to better accuracy than I can eyeball it (I attached a 19-unit long beam to the motor for this). Does that sound good?
How about this added tidbit: every now and then during that last test, I pushed my thumb against the turning axle to increase the friction... a few times I even just held the axle while the motor "fought" me to try to turn it. It did not alter the accuray (i.e., regardless of load or even completely blocking the motor for a moment, the rotations were 120°, exactly as requested).
As to making a NXT-based turtle, it's certainly possible, but you have to ask how fast you want it to move, and what accuracy you really need. For instance, there is some play (a couple of degees perhaps) in the motor, so even though the measurement accuracy is around 1 degree, it does not imply perfection under all circumstances. And of course if a wheel skids, all the encoder accuracy in the world won't help you.

The program is not RoboLAB 2.9, but a new programming environment (also built on LabVIEW by NI). It's hard (for me) to compare them, but there are clearly some similarities, but a lot of difference as well. For instance, you get to use named variables, but you have less control over seperate "tasks".

I tried the test you suggested on my NXT (like Jim, I'm in the MDP), asking the motor to turn 1 degree 360 times, with a slight pause inbetween. The result was a 360° cumulative rotation, to within an accuracy of a couple of degrees. Considering that the mechanical slop in the geartrain is on the order of a degree or more, I think this is acceptable.
Another test I tried out was to have the motor turn 120° forward, pause, and then turn 120° in reverse and pause, and to repeat this process 50 times. The end result was the motor returning to within one degree of the inital position. Perhaps more impressive, I did not let the motor run in a stress-free" environment: during that test, I pushed my thumb against the axle to vary the load on the motor, and even stoped the rotation completely several times, blocking the motor from turning. As soon as the motor was released, it dutifully completed its rotation and continued. Personally, I'm fairly impressed by this :).

I think that depends on how you design the turtle, and what you mean by "where it started". After all, there's a lot of things going on besides the motor accuracy in such an application. For instance, the tires can not skid at all, or change their radius of curvature at all, you have to reduce mechanical slop as much as possible, etc.

I'm glad to hear that the accuracy of the new motors is very good.
I hope to test this as soon as possible when my set is comming in somewhere in august or oktober as what they are saying right now to me from Shop@Home...
I'm really looking forward to take this into testing and find my ways to make it as good as possible..

Well here's another fun thing on the motors - after building my first NXTbot, I just programmed it to go straight, using a Move block. I noticed it seemed to adjust to keep its path straight... so I kicked it (gently!), and watched it correct back to a straight line. This was so much fun to watch I ended up spending the next ten minutes just gently nudging the moving 'bot slightly, just to watch it correct.
The precision isn't perfect... but it's worlds better than with the RCX, even with the rotation sensors. And for a kid, it's virtually automatic.

I programmed a simple move block to move forwarded unlimited number of times. It moves about 1 rotation of the wheels and stops. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tried calling the Lego NXT support line with no avail.
- Aug 21, 2006, 12:55:00 PM
Anyone had trouble with a Move block being skipped in a reasonably long program? We've got a program that exacutes a bunch of move forward, turn, play a tone, move backward, turn, play another tone, etc. sequences. After eight or ten movements, the program seems to skip a move block. If we add another block before the skipped block and run again, it will skip the block before the one that was being skipped earlier. If we pull out a block, it will skip the block after the one that was being skipped earlier. We've got some rather complicated blocks in the chain (myBlocks that ramp the motors to minimize skidding and slipping, etc.) But it doesn't seem to be the myBlocks that are being skipped. I've been searching around, but haven't yet found anything that seems to relate to our problem.

The 2014 Super Chevy Show kick-off couldn't have been better. Sponsored by Chevrolet Performance and held at the Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR), this year's show saw more Bow Tie enthusiasts of every stripe than in year's past—more racers, more show cars, a far bigger swap meet, and lots more spectators. With PBIR celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, this historic venue was once again the ideal location for the start of the season.
One swap meet was probably five times bigger than 2013's, with everything from engines, starter project cars, odds and ends, to classic drag racing memorabilia. On the drag strip there was everything from jet powered Funny Cars to the future of the sport, the junior dragsters. Chevy owners competed in multiple classes including Camaro Guy's 5th Gen Challenge, Original Quick 16, and Quick 16 Door Car. The icing on the cake however was the Super Chevy Triathlon, where you earned points in three categories: autocross, a speed-stop challenge, and drag racing.
The show area gave fans plenty to take in. Everything from street rods and classic 1955 Chevys, to late-model modified pick-up trucks were on display. The National El Camino Owners Association once again had its regional meet here, and nearly three-dozen fifth-gen Camaros were entered.

I am in the UK bought a CD key for a game from a popular CD key website. I am not sure where they're based.
I have done this many times, with many games/websites and since they're well known websites, I have never had an issue.
I had to activate the game using a VPN (which worked fine) but on this occasion, to run the game, I needed to run the game using as a "non-Steam game" within Steam.
Due to this, I can no longer get achievements.
I consider achievements part of the package/product I have paid for.
There was no mention of this on their website (and they've confirmed this on their Facebook page).
Do you believe I am I entitled to a refund?

The canine-shaped god Anubis had many roles. He is often represented as the divine embalmer, the recorder at the judgment of the dead, or the escort of the deceased to the underworld; he is sometimes also the guardian of the mummy. This figurine of Anubis was perched on the lid of a coffin or sarcophagus, where it served a protective purpose. Various seals from both royal and private tombs show Anubis dominating nine bound prisoners—symbolic of Egypt's enemies and, on a more abstract level, all harmful forces.

SL Green $122 M. Retail Purchase Highlights Metered Q4 Growth
City records confirm real estate powerhouse SL Green Realty's acquisition of a six-story retail, office and residential building at 131-137 Spring Street for $122.3 million late last year.
The acquisition of the prime retail location, adjacent to Chanel's Soho Flagship store, capped off what company executives lauded as a stellar fourth quarter given the economic uncertainty that permeated the industry in 2012.
"It was an excellent, excellent quarter as a standalone, and particularly in light of the headwinds," SL Green CEO Marc Holliday said during the firm's fourth quarter earnings call, referring specifically to the impacts of Hurricane Sandy, the uncertain election and the fiscal cliff crisis.

Requiem 4.0 works with iTunes 10.6.x and 10.7. New with Requiem 4.0 is support for 1080p videos.
Requiem 4.0 works quite a bit differently than previous versions. It taps directly into the media decryption routines inside QuickTime so it doesn't need to figure out any of your user keys. Because of this, you'll see the following differences from Requiem 3:
- There is no key cache.
- Decryption is quite a bit slower (about 10x).
- iBook decryption is no longer supported.
I shalln't post a link to requiem download, but you need to install tor to be able to visit the website before you can download it. Now we can decrypt 1080p tv shows/movies like breaking bad and watch them on non-apple standalone devices

REDLANDS - Bob and Norma Clark recently celebrated 48 years of marriage.
But while organizing legal paperwork dealing with their deaths, the couple discovered their marriage was never legal.
They made the discovery after reading a story in The Wall Street Journal that said without a marriage license, one spouse could not collect the other's Social Security benefits.
So the couple tried to get a copy of their marriage certificate sent to their Redlands home.
They sent $20 to the San Mateo County Hall of Records to retrieve it, but there was no record of their Aug. 29, 1964, ceremony.
"They went back to the year 1956, but no record of our marriage could be found," Bob Clark said. "So we called the church we were married in and asked if they had a copy. They said, `Oh, yes, we have a copy.' So we called the (records office) back and asked if we could record it now."'
Marriage certificates have to be filed within two years of the ceremony, the Clarks learned, and they would now have to register their wedding in San Bernardino County to make their marriage legal.
So the Clarks set out to do just that.
But to do so, they needed two witnesses who were at their 1964 wedding. And with Thanksgiving within a week of the discovery, that was no problem - several family members who were at the ceremony were coming to town.
With only days to prepare, the Clarks asked Norma's sister, Deanna Silvestri, and her brother, Bill Thrall, to be their new witnesses. The two were Norma's maid of honor and the couple's junior usher at the original wedding.
The Clarks had a 10 a.m. appointment on Nov. 21 to file their certificate at the county Hall of Records on San Bernardino's Hospitality Lane.
And they came prepared.
"I got her a nice bouquet, and it was just a hoot," Bob said. "There were about 35 people there who were asking us why we were there. We told them that we've been married...and we brought along a book of all our pictures and showed them (off)."
After the filing was finished, making the marriage legal, one man in the crowd called out to the Clarks and told Bob to kiss his bride.
And he did just that.

Coastal Community Association president Pat Hardman called it the elephant in the room
While a host of issues were raised and discussed during the nearly two-hour annual CCA membership meeting last Saturday at St. Joseph Country Club, the Cape San Blas Lighthouse and the decision by the U.S. Department of Interior to award the lighthouse and ancillary buildings to the City of Port St. Joe drew the most passionate debate.
In short, there did not seem, by a raise of hands, much support for the notion of taking the lighthouse off the cape and moving it into the city.
But, Hardman noted, the CCA had taken the issue about as far as it could.
A protest from the CCA to the Department of Interior, she said, was not taken up by the agency because the Board of County Commissioners – which joined the city as the only two applicants for the lighthouse – had written a letter that, in part, offers support to the city's and its efforts to preserve the lighthouse.
Also coming under attack were the logistics of moving the lighthouse to the city. Noted during the meeting was that while the city has estimated the move at $300,000, it has applied for nearly $1 million in RESTORE Act funds to facilitate the move.
In addition, the consensus was that the move would destroy the history of a lighthouse that has sat on Cape San Blas for more than a century and skepticism that the city understood what it was taking on in attempting to move the lighthouse – which Hardman said would require two 40-ton cranes and a drive that would require covering nearly 30 miles using 13 Mile Road.
The county proposed to move the lighthouse two miles down C-30E to Salinas Park.
"I don't think anybody understands the structure," Hardman said. She has done extensive work examining the costs and logistics for moving the lighthouse. "Technically, they could destroy the lighthouse in the move."
"I actually took for granted that (the county) would be going to get it," said County Commissioner Warren Yeager, whose district covers the area of the CCA, which includes most everything from St. Joseph Peninsula to Indian Pass.
"If the city can fund it, and I have my doubts, then that is the decision. I have serious doubts they can raise the money. If the city can not perform on their contract, we still have an opportunity."
Hardman also noted a focus group recently selected by Port St. Joe city commissioners to consider and provide input about the proposed plans for a city park to which the lighthouse would be relocated.
"Maybe we can talk to them about building something nice for the city and we can save our lighthouse," Hardman said.
Prompted by questions, Yeager pledged that he would not allow the BOCC to bail out the city for any of the $1 million proposed cost reflected in the city's pre-proposal application to the RESTORE Act committee.
Julia Cunningham said the lighthouse relocation should not even qualify under the RESTORE Act funding criteria and suggested the county try to postpone the transfer of the lighthouse and buildings until the city demonstrates the fiscal ability to relocate the lighthouse and maintain it at a new location.
"This has the potential to become an embarrassment," Cunningham said.
Betty McNeill, as she did during a BOCC meeting several weeks ago, expressed dismay that moving the lighthouse off the cape was even under discussion and said a decision by the St. Joseph Historical Society to support the move to the city involved "a conflict of interest."
"What is distressing to me is people are misstating the facts," McNeill said. "It is a distressful thing to take a historic site and put it in an amusement park. I think the decision by the historical society involved some conflict of interest.
"We have a lot of support for keeping it on the cape. There are other members (of the historical society) who say they do not agree with moving it off the cape. History is being destroyed and ignored."
Beach cleanliness
Several questioned and CCA members said the new system of trash/pet stations on the peninsula and cape beaches was "inadequate."
The Gulf County Tourist Development Council recently launched a campaign to bring more uniformity to pet/trash stations on the beach and setting stations so that county work crews could easily access and clean them.
However, TDC director Jennifer Jenkins, who received warm, generous applause for her efforts the first six months on the job, was grilled by several people who said there were too few stations too far apart and the beach could become "a landfill" when the tourist season arrives.
Jenkins explained the efforts she had undertaken, including going out for qualifications for a beach cleaning company.
"I am trying to get some uniformity," Jenkins said. "The beaches are important to me."
She said the TDC with input from Yeager would visit the issue and examine potential solutions for more trash/pet stations.
"We will address that," Yeager said. "There is some concern there and we will address it."
On the same issue, Yeager said he also wanted to hear from the public about potentially adopting "Leave No Trace" ordinances for beachgoers.

Serial entrepreneur and Zynga founder Mark Pincus and Bing Gordon, longtime Electronic Arts creative mind and investor on behalf of KPCB, provide a very laid back and desultory conversation. Topics touched upon include successful CEOs, building sustainable companies, mentorship, and the consumer pay-driven Web 3.0.
Intel Corporation legend, former CEO, and Chairman of the Board Craig Barrett discusses his personal career path from a Stanford Associate Professor, to Silicon Valley consultant, to a 35-year career inside one of the globe's most prominent players in technology. His talk concentrates on Moore's Law and the myriad factors in place to ensure its continued progeny.

Whereas the 20th century belonged to the scientist, the 21st century, says Sun Micosystems' CTO Greg Papadopoulos, is the domain of the engineer. Rather than secretly toiling away on new discoveries, modern engineers are concerned about social responsibility, renewable materials and product lifecycles, collaborative and open source discovery, and furthering industry-wide innovation.
Steve Jurvetson, partner at Draper Fisher Jurvetson, offers perspective on the market opportunities in innovation and technology. Topics discussed include the necessity for utter market disruption, interdisciplinary solutions (particularly across the "bio-nano" life sciences and engineering), and advice for those interested in working in the venture capital arena.
Speaker, author, and entrepreneur Eric Ries shares rapid fire wisdom on building nimble, responsive, and efficient online software-based businesses. He also offers his wisdom on streamlining processes and progressing engineering systems, and puts forth front line insight into why some new ideas succeed where others have failed.
Robin Li, CEO of Baidu, speaks in detail about the launch and growth of the company and the search engine. He discusses how its intimate understanding of Chinese language and culture - and a unique social approach to search - have allowed it to succeed where many North American search giants have faltered.
Part 2 of 2: Thom Ruhe speaks on entrepreneur/CPA/lawyer/author Lou Hutt's popular XM Radio show discussing various matters related to entrepreneurship, the Kauffman Foundation, the E=R Campaign and our current business/economic climate.

Drama, Musical
Set in the turbulent early 1960s to mid-70s, "Dreamgirls" follows the rise of a trio of women--Effie, Deena and Lorrell--who have formed a promising girl group called The Dreamettes. At a talent competition, they are discovered by an ambitious manager named Curtis Taylor Jr., who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the back-up singers for headliner James "Thunder" Early. Curtis gradually takes control of the girls' look and sound, eventually giving them their own shot in the spotlight as The Dreams. That spotlight, however, begins to narrow in on Deena, finally pushing the less attractive Effie out altogether. Although the Dreams become a crossover phenomenon, they soon realize that the cost of fame and fortune may be higher than they ever imagined.

Just curious, as I really am not interested in the political or real world sections of the site, but everytime I see a post I don't agree with I have to run to that thread and place my foot in my mouth. Is there a way to help my OCD condition out and not have them show up for my account at all?

Its the morals of the employee, nothing more. I mean sure it was not a nice thing she did but like I said there are tons of stores out there who are more than willing to take anybodys money, no matter how much you weigh,.
So took a look at that "rue21", if that dump really thinks they are in any position to be picky about customers then it really is laughable.
While your care-free attitude works for you, it doesn't for most.
Using your logic, then me finding that someone spit in my food at a restaurant, I should just get up and leave instead of complaining to the manager.
Here is what would actually happen:
1. I would tell the manager.
2. I would call the restaurant owner if something wasn't done about it.
3. I would make sure everyone I knew was informed about it, including social media.

What is JavaScript?
Difference betwen Java & JavaScript?
Java is completely different from JavaScript- the former is a compiled language while the later is a scripting language.
What is Ajax?
Ajax is a group of inter-related web development techniques used for creating interactive web applications. A primary characteristic is the increased responsiveness and interactiveness of web pages achieved by exchanging small amounts of data with the server "behind the scenes" so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user performs an action. This is intended to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, functionality, and usability.
The key is to call one of the below functions on your page:
Remote links that expand select headers on the target page
You can define a link on another page that causes the desired headers on the target page (one containing Accordion Content) to expand when the later is loaded. In other words, depending on the referring page, different headers can be expanded by default. This is done by adding to the original link a URL parameter string specifying which headers for which header groups you want to expand. The syntax is:

Hi everybody! Recently I started reading some articles about the degree of commutativity of finite groups. I have some questions:
- In, Subgroup commutativity degrees of finite groups, Tarnauceanu proposes the following formula for calculating the degree of commutativity of subgroups of a finite group G:
$$sd(G)= \displaystyle \frac{1}{|\mathscr{L}(G)|^2}\ |\{(H,K)\in\mathscr{L}(G)^2\ |\ HK=KH\}|$$
, he proves in this work that if
$$G_1, G_2, \ldots , G_n$$ are finite groups of coprime order than
$$ sd(\times_{i=1}^{n}G_{i})=\prod_{i=1}^{n}sd(G_i) $$
My first question is about what happens if we omit the hypothesis of $G_i$ have order coprime, that is, exists some estimative for $$sd(\times_{i=1}^{n}G_{i})$$ is there any estimate in terms of $sd(G_i)$
- In, Central Extensions and Commutativity Degree, Lescot proposes the following formula for calculating the degree of commutativity of a finite group G:
$$d(G)=\frac{1}{|G|^2}|\{(x,y)\in G\times G\;|\;xy=yx\}|.$$
My second questions is about of order of group $G$, that is, there is any theory for the case that G is infinite? For example if G is a group equipped with a Haar measure? I found no literature about this case that G is infinite, there is some technical difficulty in trying to do something analogous in this case?
Remark: Sorry for the obscurity of my question, the first question is: For $G_1,\ldots,G_n$ arbitrary groups, is there any estimate for the degree of commutativity of subgroups of $G=direct~product~of~the~groups~ G_i$ in terms of the degree of commutativity of the groups $G_i$? My second question was partially answered, a friend showed me the following articles: tmu.ac.ir/salg20/talks/Rezaei.pdf.
