As for Brave, I'm not sure that intelligence and good-heartedness characterize how Merida started out--foolishness and stone-cold myopic selfishness seem to better describe her behavior. Of course, I'm not saying that she is really this bad by any means, but she definitely had some learning and growing to do, like many people her age.
There are definitely some "girl power" and male-denigration elements in many movies today that have long since become tiresome, in my opinion, but it's not quite that bad in most Disney movies.
As for the Beast's rehabilitation, Belle certainly was the catalyst, but it was learning to care deeply for somebody besides himself that rehabilitated him, again not unlike Merida, who was the real "beast" in Brave.
Now, the Disney movies that involve "rehabilitating" certain characters are a bit different. These are characters who are still young and need to grow and develop as people. For instance, it wasn't Belle's love that changed the Beast, it was his love for her. She just wanted to get out of that place. Belle did serve as a good example for the Beast as well as the object of his affection, but it was not she who actively tried to change him (the stupid made-for-video sequels notwithstanding)--his change happened on the inside, and resulted in him sacrificing his salvation for her freedom (no strings attached), much like how Belle had sacrificed her freedom for her father's life earlier. Only afterward did Belle realize that she had grown to love him, too.
Cases like this are admittedly rare in the real world among adults (and we are talking about young people in these movies), much like how most criminals are repeat offenders and most serious drug addicts can never fully rehabilitate. Then again, it does happen--some criminals do in fact genuinely reform and some addicts completely overcome their problems. What's really needed is a huge shift in perspective--an epiphany--and this happens on the inside, not just because somebody else did something to you. Watch the Beast when he looked at the enchanted rose after Belle said her father needed her (as well as when Cogsworth questioned him afterward), and for that matter when Wreck-It Ralph looked at the candy hero medal that Vanellope made for him while plunging to his apparent doom--NOW they get it, and finally know who they are. It's a bit more dramatic than most such cases in real life, but that's why these are movies that people pay to watch.

Although a year and four months have intervened since that passage was written, unsurprisingly there are still no MS67 examples of the 1932 at either service (8/09). The certified populations at both NGC and PCGS are about equally divided between the numbers of MS64 coins, versus the total number in MS65 and MS66: NGC has certified 21 MS64s, with 26 finer (finest four MS66 Star pieces), while PCGS has certified 25 MS64s, with 35 finer (finest seven MS66s). It is certain that those numbers include duplicates.
The surfaces of this lovely near-Gem reveal a few scattered marks on the high points of Liberty's legs and torso that seemingly account for the grade. Radiant luster is abundant throughout the orange-orange surfaces, which deepen on the reverse to a couple of reddish-orange areas. A small dark toning spot is noted near the reverse rim at 8 o'clock. An eye-appealing and well-struck piece. Population: 25 in 64, 35 finer (8/09).

A glorious night of music. The core band of Wayne Horvitz, Keith Lowe, Tim Young and Andy Roth were solid all night. To start the evening, they supported a beautiful set of Robin Holcomb's music with Robin on piano and voice. Then we were treated to a full set of early Grateful Dead material, with Andy Coe and Paul Moore joining in. The Black Peter was especially poignant. The icing on the cake was 1.5 hours of Zony with Horns. Steve Moore, Briggan Krauss, Skerik and Al Keith were all in fine form.
Great night of music, but then the proof is in the listening.

MDA-supported researchers at the University of Ottawa and Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI) have identified a biological pathway that may prove useful in developing treatments for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
Three teams of researchers in the United States and Europe have identified specific mutations in a chromosome-12 gene for the TRPV4 protein that tie together the origins of type 2C Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT2C) and two rare forms of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
On one of her first days at the University of Missouri, freshman Gabriella Garbero achieved campus-wide notoriety when her father Matt passed out in her dormitory.
He wasn't impaired -- other than being dehydrated and not having eaten for most of the day, and having diabetes, which he found out about from that experience. The stress of helping his daughter get settled into college life probably also played a part.
Scientists have identified a chemical cousin of the commonly used antibiotic tetracycline that has the potential to be refined and modified into a therapy for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
PTK-SMA1 works by correcting an error in a cellular process called RNA splicing, and leads to increased production of a critical protein that is deficient in this disease.
Scientists have uncovered a variant (mutation) in the SMN2 gene that leads to production of more full-length SMN protein molecules and a milder version of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The finding, a naturally occurring point mutation (a single letter change in the DNA code) in this gene, has immediate implications for genetic testing and possible long-term implications for therapy development.
Scientists at three U.S. institutions have used a very small synthetic molecule to correct the genetic defect in cells taken from a person with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a disease in which muscle-controlling nerve cells in the spinal cord are lost.
The proceedings of a symposium titled "Pulmonary Management of Pediatric Patients with Neuromuscular Disorders" have been published as a supplement to the May 2009 issue of the journal Pediatrics.
The symposium was held Feb. 20, 2008, at Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas, and was sponsored by MDA, as well as Respironics and Hill-Rom Services.
Topics, all of which pertain specifically to children with neuromuscular disorders, include
Palliative care for kids, transition services for young adults, and genetic discrimination are just some of the projects being worked on by MDA's Advocacy program, under the energetic direction of MDA Vice President Annie Kennedy.
Following are some highlights of these projects.
Palliative care in pediatrics
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has said yes to a small safety trial of nervous-system stem cells in people with recently sustained injuries to the middle (thoracic) part of the spinal cord, the biopharmaceutical company Geron Corporation of Menlo Park, Calif., announced Jan. 23, 2009.

I'm caring and compassionate and believe that I try to be considerate of others. I am light hearted but passionate and love to laugh. So of course I would love someone with a great sense of humor. As well as someone who has strong family values, motivated to better themselves in all aspects and is looking for love. I have a wonderful son who is the light of my life.....he's absolutely amazing!!! So findong someone who respects that bond is important. I want someone who is strong minded (Confident) and knows how to be supportive. Challenge me but not to the point that I need to put the boxing gloves on if we have a disagreement LOL. No drama pleaseeeee....don't have time for it. I just want someone who enjoys life and wants to have fun whether that's thru traveling, going to a show, or sitting on the couch watching a movie...it's all good. If connection is there than we'll see where it goes. I never really thought I'd be on match trying to meet "The One"....but hey it's worth a try. Basically at the end of the day I want to be close to someone I respect and admire and want that person to feel the same way about me. Sooooo with that said wishing all you out there luck in love....take care and hope to hear from you soon xoxo

I've personally found that anatomy books are better reference manuals.
My better understanding of anatomy arose with actually taking classes with a full model to draw from life, alongside tutelage of the different muscles and bone structures. THEN i looked into anatomy books for useful reference material.
It was more effective to have an actual understanding of the human body before i tinkered with applying specific anatomy to them by referencing from specifics in books.
alas i am away from my bookshelf right now to list my choices

My favorite is Schider's Atlas of Anatomy for Artists. Dozens of different artists including masters drawings, so you get to see the same stuff approached in different ways.
Sadly, it looks like the hardcover is out of print.
I was once on the receiving end of a critique so savagely nasty, I marched straight out of class to the office and changed my major (sketchbook).

Complete Bridgman guide of human anatomy, Vanderpoel the human figure,
Imagine FX anatomy edition by ron lemen (limited copies of the maginzine is still in stock), and it seems someone already mentioned hampton's figure drawing but noone mentioned andrew loomis lol

Michael Hampton's Figure Drawing: Design and Invention is also worth mentioning. Superb stuff. It includes everything you need to know before starting a life drawing class.

Facebook and Social Media
Social networking is one of the easiest ways to connect with potential members and an outside audience. After you finish with this resource, be sure to check out our page on using social media to increase involvement within your established members.
There is a lot of information on the Internet on how to use different networking platforms, but this guide will give you a brief overview of all your options.
Remember that there's no need to make an account under every one of these options. Start with a very polished account (Facebook is the most popular with our affiliate groups), and work up from there. The most important piece of advice for any social media is to update it frequently and with pertinent information. If someone stumbles upon a web presence that you know longer use, they might think the group is inactive.
You will go insane if you have an account for every platform listed here. This is a general overview, and you should stick with the formats that work best for your group.
|Atheist Nexus
Social Platform: Facebook
What: A social networking site that allows users to interact via personalized profiles and common interest groups.
When to Use: Facebook is omnipresent at many universities and high schools across the country. Use a Facebook group page to generate general interest and post about events open to the entire campus and/or community. Facebook discussion pages or private groups are also helpful for facilitating intragroup communication.
Tips: Facebook is the primary social networking presence for many groups. Keep in mind that your posts only appear to a percentage of users, but that posting too often will get you blocked. We have created a sample posting guidelines. Additionally, we offer the Facebook LeaderSpace for our officers and local leaders. Carefully moderate contentious discussions and encourage your members to refrain from commenting negatively on the SSA page. Lastly, keep in mind that (shockingly) not everyone has a Facebook. You could drive away potential members if you only communicate via Facebook. If you want to get into the nitty gritty details of Facebook, check out our Everything Facebook guide.
Social Platform: Twitter
What: A microblogging website that allows users to send messages of up to 140 characters.
When to Use: Twitter is especially helpful for promoting events and networking with other organizations. Use a hashtag so users can follow the event in addition to your group account. You can also use your account to keep updated on news and opportunities by following national and local secular organizations. Twitter tends to be less prevalent on campuses, but many of its users are more active than on Facebook.
Tips: Avoid having extended conversations with one or two other users. If you're tweeting at another account but want others to see it, include a period or other character before @ mentioning them. Also check out our Twitter Guide.
Social Platform: Instagram
What: A photo-sharing site that allows users to highly customize images.
When to Use: Instagram is unique because it is mainly mobile based. If you want to create fancy pictures but don't want to use camera, Instagram is the way to go. You can like and comment on pictures that are not your own. Additionally, Instagram makes it easy to post to other social networking sites, especially Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. Instagram is best used if you want to post pictures while an event is occurring and share them on other sites.Posting pictures of food will quickly suck you into the vortex of Instagram cliches, so try and avoid it.
Tips: Instagram is most frequently used by people on mobile apps. Posting simple and fun pictures will earn you an interested audience. Don't get too worked up about the filters. New models of the iPhone include similar filters, which might be useful to you.
Social Platform: YouTube
What: A video sharing platform.
When to Use: Youtube can be used to share your own videos or to share preexisting videos with your members. You can easily track helpful materials by liking and favoriting videos under an account for your group, even if you never upload a single video.
Tips: Consider creating a playlist of music to play before events or meetings. Chances are you will have a computer handy, and can have an easily accessible folder waiting for you. YouTube is also one of the favorite sites of trolls, so carefully monitor comments on uploaded videos.
Social Platform: Meetup.com
What: A social networking site that allows users to connect with potential groups and find offline meetingsbased on a common interest or by searching a zip code.
When to Use: Campuses don't frequently use Meetup, but it is huge with our off-campus groups. Regardless, you might consider Meetup as a tool for reaching out the community and for finding similar non-theist groups in the area.
Tips: You can avoid having to pay the organizer fee by setting up an individual account and reaching out to other local groups by using this account. Additionally, your local secular allies might be willing to allow you use of their account (ask, don't assume). If you do decide to use Meetup for large events or for reaching a nontraditional audience, remember to keep this page as regularly updated as your other networking pages. Cost: $12 to $19 a month in administration fees.
Social Platform: Atheist Nexus
What: A social networking site exclusively for atheists and other secular individuals. The site includes a spacefor blogging, forums, groups, and chat.
When to Use: This is a great way to connect with other local groups. Atheist Nexus is another resource that is more popular with our off-campus affiliates, but you may find a few students from nearby campuses interested in joining your group. You might even find that the spare atheist or two on your campus looking to be adopted by a loving secular family. Atheist Nexus also gives more confidentiality to your group, as only approved secular members can participate on the website. New groups might find this especially helpful.
Tips: Keep in mind that "Atheist Nexus" might be off-putting to potential agnostic members. However, there are plenty of simply "secular" groups and individuals on Atheist Nexus, which you should stress if Atheist Nexus is your primary form of communication. Strongly consider using Atheist Nexus if you are planning a conference open to the wider atheist community. Keep your page on Atheist Nexus updated.
Social Platform: GooglePlus
What: A multilevel social networking site that gives users the capability to classify their relationships into
different "circles," have hangouts, and to find like-minded communities.
When to Use: Although GooglePlus is less popular than Facebook, it is quickly becoming LinkedIn's primary competitor to business networking. You can easily connect with leaders in the secular movement (including all of the SSA staff) and can network efficiently. GooglePlus also gives you the capability to create events.
Tips: Use the "communities" feature to find other secular individuals in your area. The atheism page currently has over 20,000 members - there have to be a few close to you! Nobody can see your circles, but your default settings will display your connections. If you are concerned about confidentiality, make sure that others can't see who've you added or who added you.
Social Platform: Pinterest
What: A photo-sharing site that enables users to"pin" information on "boards" as an organizational system. When to Use: You can use Pinterest both to upload photos of your own events and to share other pertinent images. Pinterest goes beyond Facebook in photo sharing potential, and can highlight issues that your group is specifically involved with. For example, consider creating a "Science Rocks" board in honor of Darwin Day.
Tips: A site that allows your members to interact with images instead of text may attract more attention and is excellent for procrastination. Pinterest users a follower/following system similar to Twitter to create a network. Beyond your own event and club information boards, consider including creative subjects like "humanist heroes" or "secular library." Pinterest has a reputation of being the wedding planning site, but it is quickly becoming popular among organizations for its image-sharing potential.
Social Platform: Tumblr
What: A microblogging website that is highly geared towards sharing multimedia content, including pictures,videos, audio, and quotes.
When to Use: Like Instagram and Pinterest, Tumblr helps you share information in visually appealing ways. Sharing content related to your group's interests, like with Pinterest, or uploading your original content from Instagram are all great ways of highlighting your group. Unlike other platforms, Tumblr doesn't let you create albums of photos, so you should pick out one or two of your favorites to share from a given event. You can use your Tumblr to share general media with your members and to promote secular themes.
Tips: Many users have a "photo of the day" format; they update Tumblr with either one reblogged photo or personal photo. This could be a great method for your group, especially if you make it a weekly or monthly post. Like Facebook, Tumblr's comment section can sustain contentious debate, so check back fairly often. Keep in mind that Tumblr has quite a few problems with inappropriate content and copyrighted posting. Be careful with the information that you share and you should have no problems. It might be useful to you to only have a Tumblr or a Pinterest, instead of both, but the decision ultimately rests with your group.
Social Platform: GroupSpaces
What: A social networking and website platform designed to help organizations manage their membership.
When to Use: GroupSpaces is a pretty versatile space that you can use to manage email lists, create discussion feeds, collect dues, create events, and a whole bunch of other stuff. You can interact with your members even if they don't have a GroupSpaces account, meaning that this could be an ideal forum for managing official group business.
Tips: Visit the GroupSpaces blog for ways to enhance your GroupSpaces experience. It's a fairly unique website, and you should explore around the website for all the options. For example, there is an invite tracking device that will let you see the status of your invites to join a group (for example, if the member has opened the email or just not clicked on the link). Additionally, GroupSpaces gives you plenty of options on how to customize your experience and openness of the website, email list, and group in general. See our Everything GroupSpaces guide for more tips.
Social Platform: LinkedIn
What: A website geared towards professionals and networking.
When to Use: Since your club is unlikely to be hiring any individuals in the near future, LinkedIn is best used for networking with other organizations. For example, by following the national Secular Student Alliance, you can connect with secular groups and may be able to find a non-theist organization in your area.
Tips: Take a few minutes to update your "about" page to make your organization appear more professional.
Social Platform: Reddit
What: A social news site that allows members to upvote and downvote posts.
When to Use: Reddit is a great way to network with other secular individuals and students within the movement. Secular students have their own reddit feed at /r/secularstudents. We frequently discuss leadership issues, upcoming opportunities, and group management. The /r/atheism feed is very active and provides plenty of interesting links and resources.
Tips: The age of Reddit users tends to be much younger than the other resources that we have discussed so far (middle school and high school). High school groups may find Reddit helpful if planning a large event. You can create your own feed for your group if you plan on having frequent group discussion. Creating your own subreddit is fairly straightforward. Don't be upset if your posts don't catch on at first in popular forums, such as the /r/atheism. Keep on posting and sharing your ideas!
There are, of course, hundreds of social media options beyond those presented here.
DON'T FREAK OUT. You will probably need only two or three of these resources, but it's excellent to know about all of them. Please let us know if you have questions, and check out this page (link) for information on how to get in touch with SSA.

If you don't have a CoreOS machine running, check out the guides on running CoreOS on most cloud providers (EC2, Rackspace, GCE), virtualization platforms (Vagrant, VMware, OpenStack, QEMU/KVM) and bare metal servers (PXE, iPXE, ISO, Installer). With any of these guides you will have machines up and running in a few minutes.
It's highly recommended that you set up a cluster of at least 3 machines — it's not as much fun on a single machine. If you don't want to break the bank, Vagrant allows you to run an entire cluster on your laptop. For a cluster to be properly bootstrapped, you have to provide cloud-config via user-data, which is covered in each platform's guide.
CoreOS gives you three essential tools: service discovery, container management and process management. Let's try each of them out.
First, on the client start your user agent by typing:
eval $(ssh-agent)
Then, add your private key to the agent by typing:
Connect to a CoreOS machine via SSH as the user
core. For example, on Amazon, use:
$ ssh -A firstname.lastname@example.com
CoreOS (beta)
-A forwards your ssh-agent to the machine, which is needed for the fleet section of this guide.
If you're using Vagrant, you'll need to connect a bit differently:
$ ssh-add ~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
Identity added: /Users/core/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key (/Users/core/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key)
$ vagrant ssh core-01 -- -A
CoreOS (beta)
The first building block of CoreOS is service discovery with etcd (docs). Data stored in etcd is distributed across all of your machines running CoreOS. For example, each of your app containers can announce itself to a proxy container, which would automatically know which machines should receive traffic. Building service discovery into your application allows you to add more machines and scale your services seamlessly.
If you used an example cloud-config from a guide linked in the first paragraph, etcd is automatically started on boot.
A good starting point would be something like:
hostname: coreos0
- ssh-rsa AAAA...
- name: etcd.service
command: start
- name: fleet.service
command: start
# generate a new token for each unique cluster from https://discovery.etcd.io/new?size=3
# specify the initial size of your cluster with ?size=X
discovery: https://discovery.etcd.io/<token>
In order to get the discovery token, visit https://discovery.etcd.io/new and you will receive a URL including your token. Paste the whole thing into your cloud-config file.
The API is easy to use. From a CoreOS machine, you can simply use curl to set and retrieve a key from etcd:
Set a key
message with value
Hello world:
curl -L http://127.0.0.1:4001/v2/keys/message -XPUT -d value="Hello world"
Read the value of
message back:
curl -L http://127.0.0.1:4001/v2/keys/message
If you followed a guide to set up more than one CoreOS machine, you can SSH into another machine and can retrieve this same value.
View Complete Guide Read etcd API Docs
The second building block, docker (docs), is where your applications and code run. It is installed on each CoreOS machine. You should make each of your services (web server, caching, database) into a container and connect them together by reading and writing to etcd. You can quickly try out a minimal busybox container in two different ways:
Run a command in the container and then stop it:
docker run busybox /bin/echo hello world
Open a shell prompt inside the container:
docker run -i -t busybox /bin/sh
View Complete Guide Read docker Docs
The third building block of CoreOS is fleet, a distributed init system for your cluster. You should use fleet to manage the life cycle of your docker containers.
Fleet works by receiving systemd unit files and scheduling them onto machines in the cluster based on declared conflicts and other preferences encoded in the unit file. Using the
fleetctl tool, you can query the status of a unit, remotely access its logs and more.
First, let's construct a simple systemd unit that runs a docker container. Save this as
hello.service in the home directory:
Description=My Service
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker kill hello
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker rm hello
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/docker pull busybox
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run --name hello busybox /bin/sh -c "while true; do echo Hello World; sleep 1; done"
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop hello
The Getting Started with systemd guide explains the format of this file in more detail.
Then load and start the unit:
$ fleetctl load hello.service
Unit hello.service loaded on 8145ebb7.../172.17.8.105
$ fleetctl start hello.service
Unit hello.service launched on 8145ebb7.../172.17.8.105
Your container has been started somewhere on the cluster. To verify the status, run:
$ fleetctl status hello.service
● hello.service - My Service
Loaded: loaded (/run/fleet/units/hello.service; linked-runtime)
Active: active (running) since Wed 2014-06-04 19:04:13 UTC; 44s ago
Main PID: 27503 (bash)
CGroup: /system.slice/hello.service
├─27503 /bin/bash -c /usr/bin/docker start -a hello || /usr/bin/docker run --name hello busybox /bin/sh -c "while true; do echo Hello World; sleep 1; done"
└─27509 /usr/bin/docker run --name hello busybox /bin/sh -c while true; do echo Hello World; sleep 1; done
Jun 04 19:04:57 core-01 bash[27503]: Hello World
Jun 04 19:05:06 core-01 bash[27503]: Hello World
To stop the container, run:
fleetctl destroy hello.service
Fleet has many more features that you can explore in the guides below.

(http://www.comicvine.com/forums/off-topic/5/new-last-airbender-trailer/540549/) "
That thread was in Off-Topic. There have been 2 Articles by Tom Pinchuk and at least 2 fan made threads dealing with the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender movie. There was no need to post another fan made thread, let alone in the Off-Topic.
However, as G-Man is Editor-in-Chief of ComicVine then he has the right to post another Article to drum up attention.
If you feel the need to question my judgement on closing the Off-Topic thread, or question G-Man regarding what Articles he creates, then kindly do it in private and not in a public forum.
" I'm so pissed that this is going to be in post-production 3D. I'll just see it in regular 2D. "Aw, crap, seriously?
Well this is going to be intresting. SFX look cool but not expecting this to have great dialog. Considering what they have done to other shows they adopted from a cartoon(it just looked liked anime) only a few have come out decent. You know if they were going to go this far why dont they do romance of the three kingdoms that would be cool.
" 3D??? Are we in '87, have I been born? What's with this 3D revival? Who wants to see the girl with the white hair and blue eyes up close? Not I. I would however, like to see this movie. "LOL! Yeah, Yueh looks too weird. Her hair looks like it's been dusted with talc & her eyes are plugged into the mains. White hair really isn't that difficult to do :p
The Blue Spirit didn't look very... well, blue. But the lizard thing the Fire Nation soldier was riding looked great, and the tiny glimpse of Appa was fab!
I love Avatar I really hope they dont screw it up since if they make the first they BETTER make the other 2 I dont want a spider which chronicles on my hands never saw it but that was just bad planning.

Droop speed control
In electrical power generation, Droop Speed Control is a speed control mode of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid. This mode allows synchronous generators to run in parallel, so that loads are shared among generators in proportion to their power rating.
The frequency of a synchronous generator is given by
where F = Frequency (in Hz), P = number of poles, N = Speed of generator (in RPM)
The frequency (F) of a synchronous generator is directly proportional to its speed (N). When multiple synchronous generators are connected in parallel to electrical grid, the frequency is fixed by the grid, since individual power output of each generator will be small compared to the load on a large grid, and thus all the synchronous generators run at the same speed (N).
A speed reference as percentage of actual speed is set in this mode. As the generator is loaded from no load to base load, the actual speed of the prime mover tend to decrease. In order to increase the power output in this mode, the prime mover speed reference is increased. Because the actual prime mover speed is fixed by the grid, this difference in speed reference and actual speed of the prime mover is used to increase the flow of working fluid (fuel, steam, etc.) to the prime mover, and hence power output is increased. The reverse will be true for decreasing power output. The prime mover speed reference is always greater than actual speed of the prime mover. The actual speed of the prime mover is allowed to "droop" or decrease with respect to the reference, and so the name.
For example, if the turbine is rated at 3000 rpm, and the machine speed reduces from 3000 rpm to 2880 rpm when it is loaded from no load to base load, then the droop % is given by
=(3000 – 3120) / 3000
= 4%
= (3000 – 2880) / 3000
= 4%
In this case, speed reference will be 104% and actual speed will be 100%. For every 1% change in the turbine speed reference, the power output of the turbine will change by 25% of rated for a unit with a 4% droop setting.
Droop is therefore expressed as the percentage change in (design) speed required for 100% governor action.
For example, how fuel flow is increased or decreased in a GE-design heavy duty gas turbine can be given by the formula,
FSRN = Fuel Stroke Reference (Fuel supplied to Gas Turbine) for droop mode TNR = Turbine Speed Reference TNH = Actual Turbine Speed FSKRN2 = Constant FSKRN1 = Constant
As frequency is fixed on the grid, and so actual turbine speed is also fixed, the increase in turbine speed reference will increase the error between reference and actual speed. As the difference increases, fuel flow is increased to increase power output, and vice versa. This type of control is referred to as "straight proportional" control. If the entire grid tends to be overloaded, the grid frequency and hence actual speed of generator will decrease. All units will see an increase in the speed error, and so increase fuel flow to their prime movers and power output. In this way droop speed control mode also helps to hold a stable grid frequency. The amount of power produced is strictly proportional to the error between the actual turbine speed and speed reference. The above formula is nothing but the equation of a straight line (y = mx + b).
Multiple synchronous generators having equal % droop setting connected to a grid will share the change in grid load in proportion of their base load.[citation needed]
For stable operation of the electrical grid of North America, power plants typically operate with a four or five percent speed droop.[1][citation needed] With 5% droop the full-load speed is 100% and the no-load speed is 105%. This is required for the stable operation of the net without hunting and dropouts of power plants. Normally the changes in speed are minor due to inertia of the total rotating mass of all generators and motors running in the net.[2] Adjustments in power output are made by slowly raising the droop curve by increasing the spring pressure on a centrifugal governor or by an engine control unit adjustment. Generally this is a basic system requirement for all power plants because the older and newer plants have to be compatible in response to the instantaneous changes in frequency without depending on outside communication. Voltage control of several power sources is not practical because there would not be any independent feedback, resulting in the total load being put on one power plant.[3]
It can be mathematically shown that if all machines synchronized to a system have the same droop speed control, they will share load proportionate to the machine ratings.[4]
The thousands of AC generators are running synchronously with the power grid which acts like an infinite sink. Next to the inertia given by the parallel operation of synchronous generators,[5] the frequency speed droop is the primary instantaneous parameter in control of an individual power plant's power output (kW).[6]
S is the ratio of frequency deviation when comparing the load versus the nominal frequency.

What's so good?
By Hugh McClure | Sep 27, 2013 | Total plays: 2,825
Catalano has a talent that most singer/songwriters constantly strive for but only a small few achieve: the ability to draw the listener into her story. While the accompanying music is stirring in its own right, this is a completely vocal-driven track. While Catalano's rich voice isn't overly feminine, the combination with Carty's subtle but strong vocals is spot on -- there's a beautiful, haunting nature to the song.
Dreams Are Just Movies is due out on October 1, so keep an eye on her Facebook for further details. "Hearts" is a free download for a limited time, so snap it up now.

High unemployment, racial tensions, the rise of Margaret Thatcher, and the Falklands war all provided fertile ground for politically inclined British musicians to sow their discontent in the 1980s. The Red Wedge tour, officially sponsored and supported by the Labour party, was one of the most publically visible avenues of political expression by pop musicians. Organized by Billy Bragg and Paul Weller, the tour featured a diverse palette of British artists including Bragg, The Style Council, The Communards, Madness, Junior Giscombe, and Prefab Sprout. Tune in tonight from 8-10pm to hear selections from all of these artists and the musicians who influenced them!
This Sunday on Polyphonic Perversity (noon-2pm), we'll explore film music by composers who you don't normally think of as film composers. So no Ennio Morricone or Bernard Hermann, just fantastic film music by Dmitri Shostakovich, Toru Takemitsu, Terry Riley, Philip Glass, Michael Gordon, and Alfred Schnittke. This program is preparation for the upcoming Duke New Music Ensemble concerts, titled "Old Film | New Music," on Sunday, November 11, at 8 p.m. in Bone Hall in the Biddle Music Building, and on Tuesday, December 6, at 8p.m., at Fullsteam Brewery. Free admission for both concerts. Tune in, and check out the shows!
Tune in to College Radio Primer tonight for a glimpse into the groundbreaking post-punk sound of Rough Trade Records. Influenced by the DIY techniques pioneered by early punk groups like the Buzzcocks, Desperate Bicycles & Scritti Pollitti, Geoff Travis (with help from a group of like-minded friends/music nuts) would turn his tiny West London record shop into one of the UK's most exciting & influential independent record labels. Along the way he would release singles & albums from a wide variety of artists, including the Swell Maps, Delta 5, Television Personalities, James Blood Ulmer, This Heat, Monochrome Set, The Pop Group, LiLiPUT, Young Marble Giants and tons more. Hear it all TONIGHT, 8-10pm
What did space ships sound like before space ships? What about lasers and robots and time-traveling police boxes? This Sunday during Polyphonic Perversity, join DJ Slip 'n' Slide for a special two hour exploration of the history, accomplishments and legacy of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, the group of eccentric musicians, mathematicians, engineers and artists responsible for some of the most influential sounds in science fiction. Using nothing but magnetic tape, razor blades, and the most primitive, often homemade, tape manipulators, the Radiophonic Workshop dreamed up the sounds of the future. This two-hour broadcast will highlight the music and sounds of the Radiophonic Workshop as well as the legacy of its artists, some of the most important members of the British schools of avant-garde and musique concrète.

I love listening to latin and soca music.Everything from Romeo, Prince Royce, don omar. I enjoy dancing to bachatta and salsa music. I do like a bit of Jazz and hip hop with limited cursing. Christian girl, loves adventure and willing to try something spontaneous. I love everything that has to do with running. I've done so many half marathons and a couple of full and the best feeling is when you cross that finish line. I enjoy a good concert, very particular about which one i do see though. Right now I'm enjoying the latin concerts there was a time i enjoyed RnB concerts, not recently though. I also do like calypso music (not many people know what calypso music is). Hola if you do. When I'm not doing all that fun stuff, it's work and getting better at my skills, it's a competitive world out there and you have to be constantly updating your skills.

Schneetag is the German word for "snow day." Put simply, it translates as "daredevils willing to propel themselves down a hill, over a jump and across a pond on a craft they built themselves."
2014 Schneetag at Snowmass
This hilarious event is one not to miss. The 7th annual Schneetag event (pronounced Sch-knee Tog) invites teams of four to create a craft that they will pilot down a slope and attempt to float across a 40x20 foot pond. Every team has a theme and will perform a skit before they descend. This event is just as ridiculous and entertaining as it sounds.
Team Guidelines
Teams of four are invited to create a craft and attempt to sail across the pond. Each team performs a skit before their run and was judged on their costume theme, creativity and flight distance of their craft.
The craft must be entirely human powered with no external energy sources. The craft must be less than 10 feet wide and weigh less than 400 pounds, including the pilot. Each team will pick just one member to fly their craft across the pond.
More Information
Please contact Brendan Collins at email@example.com for more information.
7th Annual Schneetag Results
1st Place – Hans and Gretle featuring Jason Hartmann, Matt Hooks, Susan Muenchen and Pete Pelinski.
2nd Place – Hot Shots featuring Gloria Bouillon, Alex Waterman, Andrew Nerz and Erin Dwyer.
3rd Place – Don't Hassle the Hoff featuring Jake Boyles, Bill Wells, Bobby Almazan and Brian Wells.
Top prizes include GoPro Hero 3 Silver Editions, Belly Up concert tickets, Smith Optics goggles, Nordica Skis with Marker bindings, Helly Hansen jackets, local restaurant gift certificates and much more. Everyone is a winner at Schneetag and all teams took home a prize.
