I can't come up with a general forumla for x in this equation. Any advice ?
x = y sin(x)
There is no analytic solution for x. Your best bet is to use Newton's method or any other approximation method that will give you as much accuracy as you desire.
Beyond an analytic solution, there isn't a unique solution. The function [itex]\mathbb R\setminus \pi\mathbb Z \to \mathbb R[/itex] taking [itex]x\to y=\dfrac{x}{\sin x}[/itex] isn't one-to-one. In fact, there are infinitely many places at which very-close-but-different values of [itex]x[/itex] are taken to the exact same [itex]y[/itex] value.
The intersection between those who would ask the OPs question and those who know who know what injective or locally injective must be null or a small number. A reasonable number that include me belong to neither class.
You're right! I'll edit it (though my quoted mistake is immortalized in your post). :)

well, i understand that the camrea doesn't capture any light without the flash, so the only light it will capture is the one coming from the flash, so because the duration of the flash is so little the camrea will freeze that motion. What i really want to know is how i capture a fast action movement, like a girl dancing and at the same time, capture the ambient light, like on a bar or car workshop, that are usually very moody locations. What do i have to do to capture that ?

ABSTRACT: Effective display and visual analysis of complex 3D data is a challenging task. Occlusions, overlaps, and projective distortions-as frequently caused by typical 3D rendering techniques-can be major obstacles to unambiguous and robust data analysis. Slicing planes are a ubiquitous tool to resolve several of these issues. They act as simple clipping geometry to provide clear cut-away views of the data. We propose to enhance the visualization and analysis process by providing methods for automatic placement of such slicing planes based on local optimization of gradient vector flow. The final obtained slicing planes maximize the total amount of information displayed with respect to a pre-specified importance function. We demonstrate how such automated slicing plane placement is able to support and enrich 3D data visualization and analysis in multiple scenarios, such as volume or surface rendering, and evaluate its performance in several benchmark data sets.IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics 11/2015; 21(12):1-1.

ABSTRACT: Particle tracing in time-varying flow fields is traditionally performed by numerical integration of the underlying vector field. This procedure can become computationally expensive, especially in scattered, particle-based flow fields, which complicate interpolation due to the lack of an explicit neighborhood structure. If such a particle-based flow field allows for the identification of consecutive particle positions, an alternative approach to particle tracing can be employed: we substitute repeated numerical integration of vector data by geometric interpolation in the highly dynamic particle system as defined by the particle-based simulation. To allow for efficient and accurate location and interpolation of changing particle neighborhoods, we develop a modified k-d tree representation that is capable of creating a dynamic partitioning of even highly compressible data sets with strongly varying particle densities. With this representation we are able to efficiently perform pathline computation by identifying, tracking, and updating an enclosing, dynamic particle neighborhood as particles move overtime. We investigate and evaluate the complexity, accuracy, and robustness of this interpolation-based alternative approach to trajectory generation in compressible and incompressible particle systems generated by simulation techniques such as Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH).IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics 09/2015; 21(1):68-80.

ABSTRACT: Time surfaces are a versatile tool to visualise advection and deformation in flow fields. Due to complex flow behaviours involving stretching, shearing, and folding, straightforward mesh-based representations of these surfaces can develop artefacts and degenerate quickly. Common counter-measures rely on refinement and adaptive insertion of new particles which lead to an unpredictable increase in memory requirements. We propose a novel time surface extraction technique that keeps the number of required flow particles constant, while providing a high level of fidelity and enabling straightforward load balancing. Our solution implements a 2D particle relaxation procedure that makes use of local surface metric tensors to model surface deformations. We combine this with an accurate bicubic surface representation to provide an artefact-free surface visualisation. We demonstrate and evaluate benefits of the proposed method with respect to surface accuracy and computational efficiency.

ABSTRACT: Where the computation of particle trajectories in classic vector field representations includes computationally involved numerical integration, a Lagrangian representation in the form of a flow map opens up new alternative ways of trajectory extraction through interpolation. In our paper, we present a novel re-organization of the Lagrangian representation by sub-sampling a pre-computed set of trajectories into multiple levels of resolution, maintaining a bound over the amount of memory mapped by the file system. We exemplify the advantages of replacing integration with interpolation for particle trajectory calculation through a real-time, low memory cost, interactive exploration environment for the study of flow fields. Beginning with a base resolution, once an area of interest is located, additional trajectories from other levels of resolution are dynamically loaded, densely covering those regions of the flow field that are relevant for the extraction of the desired feature. We show that as more trajectories are loaded, the accuracy of the extracted features converges to the accuracy of the flow features extracted from numerical integration with the added benefit of real-time, non-iterative, multi-resolution path and time surface extraction.Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 01/2015; 9397.

ABSTRACT: Simulating complex events is a challenge and often requires carefully selecting simulation parameters. As vast computation resources become available, researchers can run alternative parameter settings or simulation models in parallel, creating an ensemble of possible outcomes for a given event of interest. The visual analysis of ensembles is one of visualization's most important new areas and should greatly affect the field in the next few years. The goal is to develop expressive visualizations of an ensemble's properties to support scientists in this demanding parameter-space exploration.IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications 05/2014; 34(3):8-11.

ABSTRACT: Sets of simulation runs based on parameter and model variation, so-called ensembles, are increasingly used to model physical behaviors whose parameter space is too large or complex to be explored automatically. Visualization plays a key role in conveying important properties in ensembles, such as the degree to which members of the ensemble agree or disagree in their behavior. For ensembles of time-varying vector fields, there are numerous challenges for providing an expressive comparative visualization, among which is the requirement to relate the effect of individual flow divergence to joint transport characteristics of the ensemble. Yet, techniques developed for scalar ensembles are of little use in this context, as the notion of transport induced by a vector field cannot be modeled using such tools. We develop a Lagrangian framework for the comparison of flow fields in an ensemble. Our techniques evaluate individual and joint transport variance and introduce a classification space that facilitates incorporation of these properties into a common ensemble visualization. Variances of Lagrangian neighborhoods are computed using pathline integration and Principal Components Analysis. This allows for an inclusion of uncertainty measurements into the visualization and analysis approach. Our results demonstrate the usefulness and expressiveness of the presented method on several practical examples.12/2013; 19(12):2743-52. DOI:10.1109/TVCG.2013.141
Article: Characterizing and Visualizing Predictive Uncertainty in Numerical Ensembles Through Bayesian Model Averaging[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Numerical ensemble forecasting is a powerful tool that drives many risk analysis efforts and decision making tasks. These ensembles are composed of individual simulations that each uniquely model a possible outcome for a common event of interest: e.g., the direction and force of a hurricane, or the path of travel and mortality rate of a pandemic. This paper presents a new visual strategy to help quantify and characterize a numerical ensemble's predictive uncertainty: i.e., the ability for ensemble constituents to accurately and consistently predict an event of interest based on ground truth observations. Our strategy employs a Bayesian framework to first construct a statistical aggregate from the ensemble. We extend the information obtained from the aggregate with a visualization strategy that characterizes predictive uncertainty at two levels: at a global level, which assesses the ensemble as a whole, as well as a local level, which examines each of the ensemble's constituents. Through this approach, modelers are able to better assess the predictive strengths and weaknesses of the ensemble as a whole, as well as individual models. We apply our method to two datasets to demonstrate its broad applicability.12/2013; 19(12):2703-12. DOI:10.1109/TVCG.2013.138

ABSTRACT: Multifluid simulations often create volume fraction data, representing fluid volumes per region or cell of a fluid data set. Accurate and visually realistic extraction of fluid boundaries is a challenging and essential task for efficient analysis of multifluid data. In this work, we present a new material interface reconstruction method for such volume fraction data. Within each cell of the data set, our method utilizes a gradient field approximation based on trilinearly blended Coons-patches to generate a volume fraction function, representing the change in volume fractions over the cells. A continuously varying isovalue field is applied to this function to produce a smooth interface that preserves the given volume fractions well. Further, the method allows user-controlled balance between volume accuracy and physical plausibility of the interface. The method works on two- and three-dimensional Cartesian grids, and handles multiple materials. Calculations are performed locally and utilize only the one-ring of cells surrounding a given cell, allowing visualizations of the material interfaces to be easily generated on a GPU or in a large-scale distributed parallel environment. Our results demonstrate the robustness, accuracy, and flexibility of the developed algorithms.10/2013; 19(10):1687-99. DOI:10.1109/TVCG.2013.16

ABSTRACT: Liquid–liquid extraction is a typical multi-fluid problem in chemical engineering where two types of immiscible fluids are mixed together. Mixing of two-phase fluids results in a time-varying fluid density distribution, quantitatively indicating the presence of liquid phases. For engineers who design extraction devices, it is crucial to understand the density distribution of each fluid, particularly flow regions that have a high concentration of the dispersed phase. The propagation of regions of high density can be studied by examining the topology of isosurfaces of the density data. We present a topology-based approach to track the splitting and merging events of these regions using the Reeb graphs. Time is used as the third dimension in addition to two-dimensional (2D) point-based simulation data. Due to low time resolution of the input data set, a physics-based interpolation scheme is required in order to improve the accuracy of the proposed topology tracking method. The model used for interpolation produces a smooth time-dependent density field by applying Lagrangian-based advection to the given simulated point cloud data, conforming to the physical laws of flow evolution. Using the Reeb graph, the spatial and temporal locations of bifurcation and merging events can be readily identified supporting in-depth analysis of the extraction process.Computer Aided Geometric Design 07/2013; 30(6):557–566.

ABSTRACT: The input–output behavior or flow transfer function of typical mixing processes is highly relevant to the analysis of the dynamic system and its mixing quality. We aim to visualize this behavior by extracting topologically relevant flow volumes from statistics accumulated during particle traversal of the flow field. To guarantee a sufficiently dense sampling of the flow field, we use adaptive time-surfaces for the computation of these trajectory statistics. The proposed volume extraction technique operates in parameter space of the computed time-surfaces and facilitates fast extraction of boundary geometry at different levels of detail. Our results visualize flow transfer functions in the form of volumes for extrema of different time-surface statistics and demonstrate their benefit for flow analysis.Computer Aided Geometric Design 07/2013; 30(6):567–576.

ABSTRACT: A fundamental characteristic of fluid flow is that it causes mixing: introduce a dye into a flow, and it will disperse. Mixing can be used as a method to visualize and characterize flow. Because mixing is a process that occurs over time, it is a 4D problem that presents a challenge for computation, visualization, and analysis. Motivated by a mixing problem in geophysics, we introduce a combination of methods to analyze, transform, and finally visualize mixing in simulations of convection in a self-gravitating 3D spherical shell representing convection in the Earth's mantle. Geophysicists use tools such as the finite element model CitcomS to simulate convection, and introduce massless, passive tracers to model mixing. The output of geophysical flow simulation is hard to analyze for domain experts because of overall data size and complexity. In addition, information overload and occlusion are problems when visualizing a whole-earth model. To address the large size of the data, we rearrange the simulation data using intelligent indexing for fast file access and efficient caching. To address information overload and interpret mixing, we compute tracer concentration statistics, which are used to characterize mixing in mantle convection models. Our visualization uses a specially tailored version of Direct Volume Rendering. The most important adjustment is the use of constant opacity. Because of this special area of application, i. e. the rendering of a spherical shell, many computations for volume rendering can be optimized. These optimizations are essential to a smooth animation of the time-dependent simulation data. Our results show how our system can be used to quickly assess the simulation output and test hypotheses regarding Earth's mantle convection. The integrated processing pipeline helps geoscientists to focus on their main task of analyzing mantle homogenization.IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics 12/2012; 18(12):2198-2207.

ABSTRACT: Integral flow surfaces constitute a widely used flow visualization tool due to their capability to convey important flow information such as fluid transport, mixing, and domain segmentation. Current flow surface rendering techniques limit their expressiveness, however, by focusing virtually exclusively on displacement visualization, visually neglecting the more complex notion of deformation such as shearing and stretching that is central to the field of continuum mechanics. To incorporate this information into the flow surface visualization and analysis process, we derive a metric tensor field that encodes local surface deformations as induced by the velocity gradient of the underlying flow field. We demonstrate how properties of the resulting metric tensor field are capable of enhancing present surface visualization and generation methods and develop novel surface querying, sampling, and visualization techniques. The provided results show how this step towards unifying classic flow visualization and more advanced concepts from continuum mechanics enables more detailed and improved flow analysis.IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics 12/2012; 18(12):2149-2158.

ABSTRACT: Crease surfaces describe extremal structures of 3D scalar fields. We present a new region-growing-based approach to the meshless extraction of adaptive nonmanifold valley and ridge surfaces that overcomes limitations of previous approaches by decoupling point seeding and triangulation of the surface. Our method is capable of extracting valley surface skeletons as connected minimum structures. As our algorithm is inherently mesh-free and curvature adaptive, it is suitable for surface construction in fields with an arbitrary neighborhood structure. As an application for insightful visualization with valley surfaces, we choose a low frequency acoustics simulation. We use our valley surface construction approach to visualize the resulting complex-valued scalar pressure field for arbitrary frequencies to identify regions of sound cancellation. This provides an expressive visualization of the topology of wave node and antinode structures in simulated acoustics.02/2012; 18(2):270-82. DOI:10.1109/TVCG.2011.98

ABSTRACT: Moment tensors are indefinite tensors derived from seismic measurements and encode important information about earthquakes and surface displacement in the earth's mantle. Appropriate analysis of scattered moment tensor fields requires multi-scale visualization to identify related seismic events. For this matter we provide a visualization of the tensor field at different scales based on multivariate tensor clustering. The resulting visualization allows interactive analysis of individual tensors, analysis of tensor groups and clustering behavior as well as examination of the complete tensor field. Our results show the benefit of multi-scale earthquake and displacement analysis and demonstrate the advantages over classic tensor visualization and univariate, static cluster visualization.Information Visualization 01/2012; 11(1):43-59.

Conference Paper: Feature-based Visualization of Dense Integral Line Data[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Feature-based visualization of flow fields has proven as an effective tool for flow analysis. While most flow visualization techniques operate on vector field data, our visualization techniques make use of a different simulation output: Particle Tracers. Our approach solely relies on integral lines that can be easily obtained from most simulation software. The task is the visualization of dense integral line data. We combine existing methods for streamline visualization, i. e. illumination, transparency, and halos, and add ambient occlusion for lines. But, this only solves one part of the problem: because of the high density of lines, visualization has to fight with occlusion, high frequency noise, and overlaps. As a solution we propose non-automated choices of transfer functions on curve properties that help highlighting important flow features like vortices or turbulent areas. These curve properties resemble some of the original flow properties. With the new combination of existing line drawing methods and the addition of ambient occlusion we improve the visualization of lines by adding better shape and depth cues. The intelligent use of transfer functions on curve properties reduces visual clutter and helps focusing on important features while still retaining context, as demonstrated in the examples given in this work.Visualization of Large and Unstructured Data Sets: Applications in Geospatial Planning, Modeling and Engineering - Proceedings of IRTG 1131 Workshop 2011; 01/2012

ABSTRACT: Material interfaces and free surfaces are a topic of increasing interest in the field of computational fluid dynamics. In parts, reconstructed interfaces from such multi-fluid simulations behave like classic integral surfaces as known in the visualization community, while other regions of the surface undergo topological changes or behave orthogonally to what is expected by the underlying flow field. Thus, the analysis of the flow field in connection with material interface shape and topology is a challenging task. We develop a technique that facilitates visualization and analysis of such complex material interface behavior over time. For this matter, we track a surface parametrization of time-varying material interfaces and identify locations of interaction between material interfaces and fluid particles. Splatting and surface visualization techniques produce an intuitive representation of the derived interface stability. Our results demonstrate, how the interaction of the flow field with the material interface can be highlighted by appropriate extraction and visualization techniques and how the developed techniques can aid analysis of mixing and material interface consistency.01/2012; DOI:10.1109/PacificVis.2012.6183595
Article: Visualization of Flow Properties in Mantle Convection: Understanding Homogenization in CitcomS[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Understanding the complex behavior of mixing in the Earth's mantle remains a challenge in geoscience. One means to both interpret mantle flow models and enable comparisons with observations of the scale of mantle heterogeneity is by assessing the homogenization of passive tracers in models. Computer simulations of mantle mixing often yield both divergent and convergent regions which homogenize the mantle, as well as isolated pockets where almost no mixing occurs. Analyzing and understanding this complex behavior requires appropriate simulation and visualization tools. To reach this goal, we introduce new visualization techniques that allow geophysicists to effectively analyze this simulation data. Our visualization tool takes, as input, the velocity field and tracers generated by CitcomS, a well-established finite-element model of mantle convection in a spherical shell. By visualization of particle statistics, e.g. average traveled distance of tracers inside a pre-defined region, we provide a better understanding of homogenization in the mixing process. To reduce the amount of data generated by CitcomS, we only compute a few tracers during simulation time compared to the overall size of the data set. Statistics defined on this set of tracers allow an initial low detail analysis of the flow field while providing only limited preliminary insights into the data set. For further refinement in a specific region of interest we offer capabilities to locally add and integrate new tracers directly inside the visualization tool, facilitating interactive resolution control. This results in more detailed local statistics and is faster than resimulating tracers inside CitcomS by restarting the complete simulation run. Furthermore, we take well-known concepts from computer graphics to reduce visual clutter and help focus on a specific region of interest, such as slicing and volume rendering. Our results are suitable to gain a better understanding about homogenization of mixing processes in mantle convection. More specifically, we tested how homogeneous mixing between several mantle layers is. Further, by visualization of tracer paths some insight into the properties of the flow field is given. Using these techniques, geophysicists are able to test their hyphotheses regarding scales of mantle heterogeneity.

ABSTRACT: The evolution of strain and development of material anisotropy in models of the Earth's mantle flow convey important information about how to interpret the geometric relationship between observation of seismic anisotropy and the actual mantle flow field. By combining feature extraction techniques such as path line integration and tensor accumulation, we compute time‐varying strain vector fields that build the foundation for a number of feature extraction and visualization techniques. The proposed field segmentation, clustering, histograms and multi‐volume visualization techniques facilitate an intuitive understanding of three‐dimensional strain in such flow fields, overcoming limitations of previous methods such as 2‐D line plots and slicing. We present applications of our approach to an artificial time varying flow data set and a real world example of stationary flow in a subduction zone and discuss the challenges of processing these geophysical data sets as well as the insights gained.Computer Graphics Forum 12/2011; 30(8):2301-2313.

Sen. Steve Dille got a big surprise Thursday.
Before proposing to lift Minnesota's ban on new nuclear power plants, the Dassel Republican thought he'd first give a heads-up to his key opponent, Sen. Yvonne Prettner Solon, DFL-Duluth.
"I said, 'If you're going to oppose it, congratulations in advance for winning,' " Dille said.
But in a development that stunned Dille and many others, the Minnesota Senate sided with him and voted 42-24 for his amendment to remove a 15-year moratorium on nuclear power proposals. It tacked the measure onto a much larger energy bill and gave that package preliminary approval. A final vote is expected next week.
It was the first time since a highly divisive debate establishing the ban in 1994 that the House or Senate had voted to open the door to nuclear power. Just last week, a House energy committee voted against lifting the ban.
What the Senate vote means for nuclear power yet this session is unclear.
"I think it's pretty unlikely it will pass this year, but I don't think it's going away," said Sen. Ellen Anderson, DFL-St. Paul, a longtime opponent of lifting the ban.
Even Dille isn't optimistic, considering the House position and what he thinks will be an uphill battle in a House-Senate conference committee.
"It's probably still a long shot," Dille said.
But other Republicans were elated and more hopeful.
"There's sort of this new breath of fresh air that allows us to at least consider nuclear power in our energy plans for Minnesota," said Senate Minority Leader David Senjem, R-Rochester.
Thursday's Senate action doesn't set the stage for anything imminent; it just says nuclear power is a debatable option.
Xcel Energy Inc., which owns nuclear plants in Red Wing and Monticello, said it has no plans for any new nuclear plants in Minnesota.
And even if it did, there'd be 15 years of state and federal regulatory hurdles to clear, said Terry Pickens, Xcel's director of nuclear regulatory policy. In today's dollars, he said, a 1,100-megawatt plant would cost $4 billion to $6 billion.
But many legislators showed they're open to the idea. And for some, that's a seismic shift in thinking.
"I think it's just a big step forward for energy in the state of Minnesota," said Sen. Amy Koch, R-Buffalo.
In the past, nuclear power proponents have argued that, with energy costs rising and increased concerns over greenhouse-gas emissions contributing to global warming, nuclear power should at least be an option.
Opponents, however, have argued that highly radioactive nuclear waste, which is stored at the Red Wing and Monticello plants, remains a serious risk, especially along important river systems.
The longtime federal option, building a permanent repository at Yucca Mountain in Nevada, appears stalled.
In the Senate, 22 DFLers joined 20 Republicans in voting to lift the ban. Twenty-three DFLers and one Republican voted against it.
Lots of arguments were made for it, but Dille said his colleagues seemed impressed with arguments to provide a power source that would reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, would be less expensive than other energy choices and would offset higher costs for recent renewable energy choices.
After the vote, Dille said he got another chance to talk with Prettner Solon.
"She came down to my desk and said, 'Congratulations,' " Dille said.

We're pleased to welcome Jennifer Fishkind for this installment of the Pinterest Influencer Interview Series. Jennifer is a mom who loves modern technology. She has three boys, ages 14, 11 and eight who keep her busy. Before becoming a full-time mom, she worked in the non-profit sector for 20 years planning events, training seminars and developing national fundraising programs.
6 Questions on Pinterest With Jennifer Fishkind
1. How has Pinterest helped you personally or professionally?
I think of Pinterest as virtual window-shopping with endless possibilities. I started using Pinterest to plan my son's camp-themed Bar Mitzvah. I'm a do-it-yourself kind of gal and I have a hard time wanting to pay someone else to do what I am capable of (and love!) doing myself. So I used Pinterest to gather ideas and I started to discover all kinds of other content like DIY, fashion, recipes, and kids projects.
Helping my friends plan events is one of my favorite hobbies. They all know to come to me when they're planning weddings, parties or Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. I can look around, pin the items that I like and buy them – probably a little too often for my husbands liking though!
I've also started to provide people in the area with lessons on how they can use Pinterest to help organize their ideas and lives.

2. What is the method behind your success?
I think my "realistic" approach to pinning keeps my followers engaged. I'm frugal and am always looking for ways to recreate something in a less expensive way. I like to find and pin products, recipes and projects that I really would or could buy, make or create. Also, I'm not the best or most ambitious cook, so if I find a recipe and haven't heard of an ingredient or if it looks too difficult, then it isn't for me! With my crazy family life, if it isn't quick, easy and appealing to three boys – forget it!
3. What is the biggest challenge you've encountered using Pinterest?
The biggest challenge for me with Pinterest is limiting the amount of time I spend on it!! It has a way of making hours disappear.
4. What do you think is the future of social media?
Social media is evolving so quickly it is hard to keep track of, let alone predict what the future has in store, but I can't wait to see where it goes and if Pinterest will be leading the way!
5. What advice would you give to someone who is just starting a Pinterest account?
Have fun with it! Be as specific with your boards as you can be. For example, rather than a general board for "recipes," create targeted boards for "dinners," "appetizers" and "cocktails." For home decor start a board for "kitchens" and "bedrooms." Don't be afraid to follow a lot of people too. The more you follow, the more variety you will get on your newsfeed.
6. Where can we find you on Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook? What is your website?
The best place to find me is on Pinterest (3,893,157 Followers).

I have a bajillion dollars on my FSA debit card to spend before 3/15, so I was thinking of getting some new eyeglasses (my prescription changed a smidge) and some prescription sunglasses. I wanted to order online because the selection around here is pretty lame (small rural area).
A friend sent me this link, where they let you try on up to 5 frames at home before you pick. They also have a "virtual try on" where you upload or take a pick and pretend to try glasses on your face, which I have been obsessing over today:
Any other fine four-eyed friends on the BHB with suggestions for good online eyeglass retailers?

Fourteen Years of Development in Screenshots
At 3PM Pacific, we'll be celebrating our official 1.0 launch! But it hasn't been quick to get here. 8BitMMO's development originally started in 2001, and had a great many rewrites in the intervening fourteen years.
Over the years, I have saved screenshots of what the project looked like. I've also provided below some insights as to my thought process and other stuff going on in my life. This post ended up being far more personal than I intended, but maybe it'll end up being useful to someone out there. Indie dev isn't an easy road. I've had great victories and bad times both. So ready your modems, because this post is gonna be long.
Delivering Pocket Universes
If you bought the Second Pocket Universe / Town Expansion tier during Octoberbit and filled out the survey, those have now been delivered / expanded. If you didn't fill out the survey yet, please do.
Town Expansions
Have been expanded, enjoy!
Second Pocket Universes
You can get a list of your pocket universes with /listpockets, it will show a map id for each pocket you own.
You can then teleport to each pocket with /telepocket <map id>, ie: /telepocket 123456
In your inventory, you will find a brand new Townstone. Place that in your pocket where you like, then return to the survey. On the main page, there is a new reward option: "Second PU - I received it and placed TS, now ready for expand." Submit that to notify me that you are ready for the town expansion to 5x5.
Off to GDC
Well, I'm off to the Game Developer's Conference all next week to do Business. Before I go, I'll leave you with two teasers.
1) Autocap v2 is the new map system. Unlike autocap v1, now it will be fully automated, and with any luck, the map should update by itself roughly once a week (instead of once per six months :P). Kartud has been working hard on this, and we hope to have something running by the end of next next week.
2) I've been working on a new weapon, the Laser Rifle. It will have a range and hit effect like the laser turret (and I may be balancing upwards the laser turret's damage too). To balance out its range and firepower, it will have a reload sequence between shots -- so make each one count.

Denver (AP) The U.S. bankruptcy court in Denver has set a record for the number of filings in one day. The number was 433 last Friday. Court officials don't expect that record to last for long.
It's likely the flurry of filings is being spurred by a new law that will make it tougher to file bankruptcy. The law takes effect October 17th. The new law includes higher filing fees and requires credit counseling and debt education.
About 28,000 bankruptcies have been filed so far this year in Colorado. Last year's total was 27,993.

Roosevelt Island, New York City
15 Reviews
15 Reviews
For something a bit different take the cable car from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island (and back) for views of the city that not many tourists get to see. When I went me and my wife were the only passengers and all for a couple of dollars. Access is at 59th street and 2nd Avenue or if you head for Bloomingdales and then head east you'll come to the Queensboro Bridge and the cable car runs from there.
Helicopter-like views for just $2.25? Sure, on the Tram, which runs parallel to the 59 St (Queensborough) Bridge. Look down onto the rooftop playgrounds of real New Yorkers. You'll get unobstructed northern views (as the Bridge is directly south of you, of course, throughout the 6 minute ride) of 1 Ave, the city at large, and the mighty Hudson River. It costs 1 swipe of the MetroCard for each trip, so that, when you board at 2 Ave & 60 St, you swipe. Six minutes later, when you get off on Roosevelt Island (don't stay; there's nothing to see there!), you exit the turnstile, then swipe again to re-board the same gondola. The gondola holds maybe 6 seated passengers and 15 or so standees? It's about the size of a Paris hotel room, but without the bed in it! Make sure you camera battery is fully charged. 5/27/10 WARNING: Tram is closed for at least the summer.
Roosevelt Island, in the middle of the East river between Midtown Manhattan and Queens, is an interesting place to say the least. It's both charming and a bit, well... creepy. Don't expect much traffic here - there's just Main St and West Rd which run across the whole length of the island, and an eastern and western side walking promenade. From the latter your have great views along quite a long stretch of the Manhattan isle, which makes for great photo shooting opportunities. You can go stand right underneath the Queensboro bridge if you want, too, or turn to the northwest and see the skyline of the upper east side. Some great views here.
This has been a residential area since the 1970's, so there are no real attractions or landmarks on the island, but you can go check out the ivy-covered remains of the 18th century Smallpox Hospital, or the Ocatagon, which previously was a mental asylum. Near the tram station are the remains of the Blackwell farmhouse which stood there from 1796 to 1804 and gave the island its name until the 1920's. On the northern tip of the island there's an 1872 lighthouse which was built by an asylum inmate.
Enjoy the madness ;)
Directions :
The tramway really is a *must do* with some stunning bird's eye views of midtown, you may have seen it already in the movies "Nighthawks" and "Spiderman". Take a ride from or to the island for a mere single subway fare, with your Metrocard. The cable car runs along the Queensboro Bridge which connects Manhattan and Queens. You can get to Roosevelt Island by subway Train F to Roosevelt Island Station, as well.
I have included the Roosevelt Island Tram and some more information in the "must see activities" section already, so check there for more information as well, and on the official Roosevelt Island web site.
The tram ride to the Roosevelt island should be a great fun but also a little bit scary for a person who are afraid of hights. Round-trip is 4 dollars (September 2005). The tram to Roosevelt was full of tourist and tennis players but the tram leaving Roosevelt island was full of local people.
Besides Hoboken and Brooklyn Heights, another place to have a great view of Manhattan is Roosevelt Island. If you take the F train towards Queens, it is the first stop after Lexington Avenue. You can also take the tram at 59th and Second Avenue.
Taking the tram to Roosevelt Island takes just a few minutes, and although there isn't anything to do once you're there, the view is great and ride is fun, although the locals riding will probably look at you strangely as you pose for pictures. Or maybe it was just me...
On my last visit to NYC Labor Day weekend 2007, the Roosevelt Island Tramway reopened after a long closure. I highly recommend taking a ride on this. You get a great view of the East side of NYC and the United Nations. Highly recommended!
One of the best kept secrets in New York City and more affordable tourist acitvities is a visit to Roosevelt Island.
This 147-acre secluded island is located on the East River, just off Manhattan's East Side.
You can take a short tram ride over the river to the island (from 60th Street and 2nd Ave, which will afford you spectacular views of the river, buildings, and at night, the magical feeling of being suspended in space as you are transported in a tram cab high above the city.
You can take a bicycle to the island and ride on the path, from the south end, which has a small undeveloped park, to the north end, which houses a tiny lighhouse. Take a picnic lunch and sit by the water, visit the island's art gallery, enjoy a slice of pizza, and on Saturdays, wander with the locals through the farmer's market.
When you get off the tram, take the little red island bus (cost 25 cents) to Main Street.
Located in the middle of the East River. between Manhattan proper and Queens, you get a small strip of relative peace and quite.
Connection with Manhattan is either via subway (F train) or the mis-named Roosevelt Island Tramway (it's really a cable car). Just riding the tram there is fun. If you have a MTA MetroCard, you can use it to pay your fare. The Roosevelt Island Bridge provides vehicle traffic access via Queens, but there is no direct vehicle connection with the rest of Manhattan.
The red shuttle bus runs a circuit around the island and the charge to use it is $0.25. While there are cars on the island, it does not have the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city.
A nice little break from the rest of NYC!
Roosevelt Island Tram ...take it at Midnight. A few fellow travelers who really live or work there will be along for the ride. The Tram has its own web page..check it out. It goes quickly, but look back for a wonderful view of the city, and before it returns you can zip around the island itself on a bus. You have a sense of the sleeping city belonging to you that time of night.
Tram car to Roosevelt Island. Dangling 250ft above the East River in a Swiss Gondola car is something many people miss. Why??? It only takes a subway token (well, 2 if you want to get back) or Metrocard and you get a great view of the Upper East Side. Tram can be caught on 2nd Ave @ 60th Street or if you're less adventerous the B,Q,or S subway goes there. Walk around the island for a different perspective on Manhattan. One of NYC oldest buildings is on the island, Blackwell House, a 1796 farmhouse. Roosevelt Island is like a small town smack dab in the middle of the East River with amazing views of NYC. Years ago, it used to be called Welfare Island because of the housing projects, now it's like the rest of NYC-unaffordable.
Take the tramway to Roosevelt Island. It runs right along the Queensboro Bridge. From the island you have a great view on Manhattan's East Side including the Chrysler building with its remarkable top. You can find the tramway at 59th and 2nd Ave. A one way ride costs US$1.50.
If you're a tourist in New York and have a 7 day subway pass, I highly recommend that you take the Roosevelt Island Tram from Manhattan and back. With the 7 day subway pass, access to it is free of charge. It's purpose is to drop off residents who live on Roosevelt Island. As a tourist, although there is nothing to do on Roosevelt Island, you are given free picturesque opportunities of seeing Manhattan and the East River from a tram. At sunset, you'll see wonder views of Manhattan.
Note: When you arrive at Roosevelt Island, you will have to exit the tram and re-enter the station to get back on the tram.
Manhattan's other island, easy to get there and you can also get there by cable lift, gas is much to see and do there, the suggestion from me, not many people know about the procedures island in the middle of New York, check out more at procedures link:
Go take the tram to Roosevelt Island if you have time. The views on the 4.5minute 3100 foot long ride are great and then the island itself is a excellent way to getaway from everything that Manhattan is without really leaving. There's a self guided waking tour of the island that can be done in a little more then an hour and the views of the Manhattan skyline leave little to be desired......

Heres some MPG numbers to look at...
Ive had my truck for almost a year now and Ive been tracking my MPG since I bought it last July.
Before any mods I got 14.0 mpg recorded from the first 1919 miles.
Replaced muffler with a 14 Magnaflow and it went down to 12.6 for the following 4503 miles.
Then Installed a CAI from K&N and now I am averaging 12.7 from the next 1613 miles.
Could it be that the muffler hurt my MPGs. Or maybe it could be that before the muffler I have less than 2k miles that I averaged and after the mods I have just over 6k miles recorded. It could also be due to the fact that the first 2k miles were in the summer. Winter months hurt my MPGs due to warming the truck up in the mornings before work. But I only warm it up for a few minutes so I dont see that really being a big factor.
I never replaced either of those thinking I would get better MPGs but I didnt expect to go down that much.
honestly i would say it's your right foot! From my experience we like the sound a little more ;) So we give it more gas.
It could also be the additives that they put in the gas in the winter. I know that in the winter I get 2-2.5 mpg less then in the summer. Also could be the colder air. The engines like cooler air 60 degrees and up but they don't like freezing air. At least that is what I have been told.
i had installed Afe stage 2 intake and 14" magnaflow last summer, was averaging 17.5 mpg until a few weeks ago, then installed the Jet Performance Stage 2 module and run 91 octane, now getting 20 mpg at highways speeds between 70 - 80 mph!
I run AIRAID CAI and predator 91 octane tune and average 18 if I travel 70 -75, if I travel 60 - 65 I can get 21 mpg. I also run a magnaflow mufflex 24" in the exhaust.
I forgot to state that I turned off the MDS with the predator also.
I think the "right foot" theory and the more aggressive driving might be the key factors. I try my best to not drive aggressively but it happens on occasion when I want to hear what's under the hood. I drive mostly city miles and don't get many miles on the highway.
I recently hauled my camper a couple hundred miles with my neighbor that also has a Ram 1500 but with no mods and his camper is about 2k lbs heavier than mine. We traveled together and ended up getting about the same mpg's. After the trip he removed his y-pipe and put duals all the way out with 2 generic mufflers (a magnaflow knock off). I'm interested in seeing what happens to his gas mileage
The best I've ever done on a tank of gas since I've had the truck was 16.5 mpg's.
those mods will increase your mpg anywhere from 1-4 mpg, its your foot. i was getting 11.2 stock in my 08, i replaced the muffler and i get 13 now.
Cooler air = more dense air which = more power which won't decrease your fuel economy.
