If you can't get out the units you want to get out in your awesome rush file, if you can't get that that epic dragon in your big file because of a hungry Succubus * , or if you just want some general advice in sp management, look no further as this thread will provide an outline of how to manage your SP in your games. Most things below are ideas or strategies you could use to help with your SP management. They do not work in all situations and, as with everything, there are ways to counter them, but let's save those for later.

Some Stuff
- File: Also known as a Deck
- Spheres: Spheres of Influence are shown by the coloured Icons above SP (Shown in the linked image below at the bottom of this bit)
- The Four Spheres are: Refess, Lawtia, Gowen, and Falkow - Colour coded of course.
- SS: Soul Skills - these are found on most cards which you can place into the a soul skill slot while building a file.
- LP: Life Points stat on card is how many life points it is worth in the soul skill slot. Whenever a card is let to die off or you get iczer attacked, you lose 1 LP which activates 1LP soul skills, get's 1LP closer to 2LP soul skills etc.
- Open in a new tab or window to open an image showing what the game looks like in console mode
Chat mode looks slightly different but SP and sphere levels are in similar positions (just a bit smaller)
- Cards will be mentioned in this guide with Links and rarity will be shown by the number of Asterisks (*) following the card name:
- For Example: Salamander * - The name has a link to the card database. As it has only one * after it, it means it is 1 star rarity
- Another Example: Flame Emperor / Allind ***** - As above, the name links to the card. It has 5 * after it which means it is a 5 star rare card.
Part 1: What is SP?
- SP is also known as Summoning Points - or unofficially as 'Energy' or 'Mana'
- One of the Major Resources in the game of Alteil
- You ALWAYS start the game with 5SP
- You generally gain 2SP every turn
- Used for nearly everything:
1. Raising Sphere levels - 1SP raises sphere level by 1. This is generally permanent and there are ways to gain more/less sphere levels without using much SP, but lets leave that for another time.
2. Playing Cards - A card requires SP equal to it's level to summon AND sphere level equal to it's level before you are able to. For Example Crest Regenerator Knight * is a level 3 Lawtia (purple/black Colour) unit. This means you need to spend 3SP to raise the Sphere to Level 3 and then 3 SP to play the card. As it requires 6 SP, you cannot use it on the first turn because you only have 5. You have to wait until at least the 2nd turn to play it.
3. Using skills and abilities - Some units or Grimoires (Spell cards) have abilities which cost SP. Using the same card as above for an example. His auto skill has SP 0 next to it, this means it costs 0SP to use. Whereas something like Folrart Charge Knight ** has an Action skill with SP 1 next to it, meaning you need to spend 1SP to use it.
4. Reviving Units - Most units cost 1SP to revive unless stated otherwise by a Trait Type skill such as Man-Eating Tiger * where the trait says "This unit uses 0 [SP] when reviving during [Set Phase: Revive]." at a cost of 0SP. Meaning free revive if it dies
- Loose SP/ Floating SP: - SP which is left usable,
- Total SP: - Total SP available for a player(s). This includes the floating SP and units on the field (as they cost SP to play).
- When a unit dies takes a life point, you get it's base Level back as SP
This guide shall provide you with ideas on how to make the most use of your SP.
Part 2: SP Management for Rush Files
This is about making the best use of SP in a rush file, but firstly let's talk about what a rush file is.
Rush files:
1. Generally contain only level 1-3 units
2. Generally aim to bring out a unit every turn
Generally for a Level 3 Rush file (a file with mostly level 3 units) will not have the required SP to play level 3 units every turn. When many players start out they often get frustrated when they can't play all their units due to SP constraint problems. Here are some general ideas for you to take into consideration when making, or changing your file.
1. Use at least 3 Level 1 Sacrificial Units
- The reason for this is so you can play a Lvl 1 -> Lvl 3 -> Lv1 -> Lv3, OR Lvl 2 -> Lvl 1 -> Lvl 3 -> Lvl 1 -> Lvl 3. This makes you able to bring out a Level 3 unit every other turn.
- Units with good open skills such as the Great Spirits (listed below) or a Emerald Carbuncle ** make good sacrificial units.
- Do not revive Sacrificial Units because even though they take a life point, they are likely to activate soul skills which can be advantages. Of course if you are running low on life points you can revive them.
2. Use units with SP gen abilities
- Units such as Kesaran Pesaran (also known as KP) * Can be useful at times as they can generate SP with their skills.
- Also used as sacrificial units
3. Use at least one Free Revive Unit
- Units such as Man-Eating Tiger * can help set up your field by taking damage while protecting life points. As they are free revive they don't cost any SP to revive, leaving more 'SP to use' (Also known as 'floating SP' or 'Loose SP') and bring out more units.
- Can be used to time soul skill activations.
- Be Warned: Many Free revive units have sub-par Stats on them, so generally don't use too many!
4. Use Early +SP SS
- Using a + SP soul skill in Soul Slot 1, sometimes even Soul Slot 2 as well which are activated by your sacrificial units being killed and letting die can allow you to get enough loose SP to Keep sending out your Lvl 3 units in quick succession.
- Soul skills such as those found on Witch * or Mage Paladin / Distrier **** are good.
5. Sacrificing Main Units (more advanced)
This is a more advanced idea which shall be explained in greater detail, firstly let us define SP Lock.
SP Lock: - When a player potentially does not gain (or in fact loses) SP for successive turns causing the opponent to be 'ahead' in total SP
Situations in which you can get SP locked are when your units are outnumbered and can keep being killed be enemy units making you unable to play any other units (because you keep reviving).
- This is when you can let a Main unit die and take a life point (sacrificing) to activate a soul skill, with the right timing you can play a unit on the same turn as sacrificing a unit so you only have a unit gone for 1 turn.
- This allows you to have MORE loose SP, in turn allows you to send that unit back out again and bring out more units to deal with the opponent's field rather then being stuck in a be killed -> revival loop until it's too late.
- The soul skill activated (if there was one) could provide your field with an advantage big enough to turn the tides, or stall long enough for you to get more units out.
- The timing of when to do this and when to not do this differs from game to game and can only really be learnt from experience.
- Letting two units die off at the same time isn't good for SP flow or field position so be careful! An example is when you only got one Bellydancer / Kurina *** and one Man-Eating Tiger * left in the card file, you can let one die off and revive the other one, giving back the SP a bit earlier.
Part 3: SP Management for Big Files
This part will hopefully give you some ideas on how to get your higher Level units out, being higher level they need more SP to play the card and More SP to put into sphere level. You would also like to have some spare SP to use grimoires or play some more units. These type of files are weak to cards like Succubus * which drain your SP. Firstly let us define Mid and Big file categories.
A Mid File mainly consists of Level 4-6 units
A Big file Contains at least one main unit of Level 7-9
Both types of files play similarly under most situations. Ideas for SP below!
a) SP Generation
To get the SP for those bigger cards you will need some SP generation cards. You can use the same SP generation cards as used in rush files however they are generally not very good by themselves and require some support to protect them so instead we can use these ideas;
1. SP generation grimoires - each sphere has their own basic SP generation grimoires such as Recovery Powder * which costs 3SP to play, but then gives you 4SP the others will be listed in Part 4.
2. Bigger SP generating units - most spheres have a unit which generates SP when they are set or killed off such as Gaia Anaconda ** which has an open skill which provides a net +1SP (-1SP for sphere level, +2SP afterwards).
Refess however has Level 3 and Level 4 units which can actually generate SP while alive such as Moon Child / Miffyre ****
3. Use +Sphere Level SS - Definitely use one if you need level 6 or higher sphere level. This type of soul skill will save you 3SP as you would otherwise have to manually raise the sphere level by 3. Cards such as Owl Sage ** in mid-big Falkow files make a good first soul skill.
4. Stalling Units - units such as Giant Arthropleurid (also known as big/giant bug) ** Can be used to slow the game down and stall for more turns. This allows you to have more SP when you are playing the main units in the file to support them with grimoires or other units.
b) SP Management
This is to help you manage SP or protect SP from those evil SP drain abilities. Here's the ideas!
1. Play a Low-Mid level unit before your main units - This does what number 4 in the generation ability does, and also lowers the amount of floating SP you have reducing the amount of SP you will lose to SP drain should you get drained. Nearly any unit can be used for this position but best to make sure the unit is fairly tanky as It will also 'generate' more SP by slowing the game down.
2. Using Grimoires effectively - Grimoires such as Burning Air * are useless when used when there's only a few cards on the opponent's file, however are great to use when there are many cards. If there are only a few cards, grimoires such as Fire arrow * are better.
3. Pack a Low Level grimoire or unit to use to kill opponent SP gen/drain
This should also be used in rush files as it is generally a good idea to stop the opponent from generating SP. However SP drain can pose a big threat to mid-big files and you will likely want to take them out quickly.
4. Knowing when to sacrifice units (more advanced)
Again this is similar to rush files in a sense you got to know when and what unit you sacrifice to match the situation which you can only really learn from playing the game. - - However the main idea is units such as Lightning Wyvern ** Are generally not revived and let to go and maybe activate a soul skill because they have good open skills.
- Another time to sacrifice a unit is when that unit is getting beaten without doing anything. It is often a good idea to let it die, while replacing it with a more tanky unit and using grimoires, or units with good open skills to support it. You could even bring back your awesome attacking unit that you let die originally!
Part 4: Too Much SP!!!
You may ask: "But Jazz, I can't use all my SP in my games and always have like 6 left over! What do I do?"
Well, it is possible to have TOO MUCH SP generation in your files here so are two quick ideas:
1. Swap your SP generation Soul Skill(s) for SP drain soul skill(s) - What I mean by this is if you find yourself having too much SP early game you can swap the +2 SP soul skill for a soul skill such as Slave of Chaos / Ebreenu *** which makes the opponent gain 1SP LESS next turn if it kills something. Useful especially in the early game where most units have less then 40HP!
2. Use SP intensive endgame to finish your opponent off - Cards such as Efreet ** Are powerful but also use lots of SP. This could be good idea for a way to finish off your games.
Part 5: Some Useful SP Related Play Cards for Each Sphere
I will list some Grimoires and Unit cards which are useful for each sphere. There are many more, these are just some. Please note that the units section will also include character cards.
(g) = SP Gain Abilities
(d) = SP Drain Abilities
(f) = Free Revive
(s) = Possible Sacrificial unit
(p) = Great Spirit
Note: Some units may have more then one.
- Kesaran Pasaran * (g) (s)
- White Sage / Kaldrao EX (g) (s)
- 5th Shrine Leader / Judie *** (g) (s) - Similar to Ancient Zombie Lord and Gaia Anaconda
- Moon Child / Miffyre **** (g)
- Will o' the Wisp * (p)
- Recovery Powder * (g) - Similar to Soul Pact, Rapid Growth and Meaning of Failure
- Shade * (d) (s) (p)
- Magic Doll -Exorcist- ** (d)

- Meaning of Failure * (g) - Similar to Recovery Powder, Soul Pact and Rapid Growth.
Part 6: Some Useful Soul Skills
There are more soul skills then listed below but these work very well for many files.
+3 Sphere Level Soul Skills
- Owl Sage ** +3 Falkow
- Mage Knight Vanguard ** +3 Falkow
- Dryad Soldier ** +3 Gowen
- Mercenary Fencer ** +3 Gowen
- Magic Doll -Support- ** +3 Lawtia
- Death Calling ** +3 Lawtia
- Lycanthrope [Seraph] ** +3 Refess
- Folrart Heavy Guardian ** +3 Refess
+2 SP Soul Skills
- Elder Druid *
- Boy Combat Priest *
- Witch *
- Pixy Dual Wielder * - +2SP next turn rather then this turn
+1SP Soul Skills
These are Higher Rarity but if you get the card it is advised to keep it, never know when you would want to use it as a soul skill
- Wise Swordsman / Steel **** 30dmg random row, sp+1
- Roaming Predator / Asuet **** 40 dmg target enemy unit, SP+1
- Mage Paladin / Distrier **** 40 dmg target enemy unit, SP +1
- Princess of the Key / Emana ***** Engage target enemy unit until end of next turn, SP+1
1 Less SP next turn
These are a good option for rush files who find themselves with too much SP
- Dragon Path King / Gafc EX 40 dmg to target enemy unit, opponent gets 1 less sp next turn.
- Slave of Chaos / Ebreenu *** 40 direct dmg (ignores DF) to target enemy unit, if that unit is HP 0 or lower opponent gets 1 less SP next turn.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) – Most women love to shop, but Saturday some women actually had an excuse.
Saturday afternoon, a group of ladies shopped 'til they dropped at Macy's 8th Annual Shop For A Cause." It's a one day shopping event that raises money for local charities.
Macy's gave the Women's Bureau $5 shopping passes to sell, which gave women discounts on top of sales.
The money from the passes goes toward the Bureau's Dress For Success program, which helps women find the proper clothes for a job interview.
"So we have a lady out here today who loves to shop, loves Macy's—it's a win-win for Macy's and the Women's Bureau, so we're very excited about it," said Westley Falcaro with the Women's Bureau.
Over the past eight years, Macy's Shop For A Cause has raised more than $46 million for local and national charities.

text: With the scent of fresh cut French fries and the sounds of salsa music in the air, I found a seat near the main stage at Mears Park to take in the music of Cyrus Chestnut's trio at the 2013 Twin Cities Jazz Festival on Saturday, June 29. Chestnut and his crew were just warming up on stage, so my timing was good. Mears Park was packed with a rainbow assortment of people, many of whom sat intently in their fold-up lawn chairs. Some festival-goers, myself included, found a giant-size rock to sit on, which was draped with someone's colorful blanket. Greeting the crowd, Cyrus said cheerfully, "It's good to be here!

Uncle Vlad
this wiki
- "You were the stupid one, Vladdy boy. Nobody fucks with my family."
- ―Niko Bellic, after killing Vlad Glebov.
Uncle Vlad is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV, given to the protagonist Niko Bellic by his cousin Roman Bellic. In this mission, the player is introduced to executions, a type of assassination which displays a cutscene, if a pistol is used.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go with Roman and look for Vlad at Comrades.
- Don't let Vlad escape.
- Vlad is fleeing in his car. Get back to your vehicle and chase after him.
- Chase after Vlad.
- Vlad's crashed his car. He's trying to escape on foot.
After Niko and his cousin Roman discovered that local Russian criminal Vladimir Glebov was sleeping with Roman's girlfriend, Niko pressured Roman into going with him to kill Vlad. Roman believes this is a bad idea, as Mikhail Faustin, Vlad's boss, may kill Niko and Roman in retaliation.
Niko and Roman drive to Comrades Bar. Niko confronts Vlad, who escapes out the back door of the bar and drives away in his Marbelle, leaving Niko to fight his two goons. Niko kills or evades the goons and then gives chase in his own car, eventually cornering Vlad on the eastern shore of the Humboldt River, and shooting him in the head at point blank range. However, Roman thinks that killing Vlad may make his goons kill Niko and Roman. But, Niko confronts Roman and says that everything would be fine.
Roman flees, eventually hiding in a dumpster on Tulsa St, Broker, thinking that it would be a good hiding spot from Mikhail Faustin, Vlad's boss.
- Vlad's goons (optional)
- Vladimir Glebov
Video Walkthrough
this mission has no money reward, but the mission Crime and Punishment is unlacked.
- The player automatically gets a pistol, if they do not already have one, after the cutscene where Vlad is cornered at the river.
- If the player obtains a rocket launcher before the mission, they can take out Vlad's car as it flees from behind the bar. The car will fix itself after a few seconds, so the chase sequence continues nonetheless.
- Completing this mission unlocks the XBox achievement/PS3 trophy Feed the Fish.
- Vlad will tell Niko that if he kills him, Niko will be throwing his and Roman's lives away for "that piece of Puerto Rican chocha". "Chocha" and "Chocho" are vulgar Spanish slang terms for vagina.
- During this mission, when Niko enters the Comrades Bar, the bartender, Mickey, can be killed; however, this has no impact on the storyline of the game.
- Walking away instead of killing Vlad will fail the mission.
- Vlad will wait outside the bar indefinitely until the player exits, though the game will continue to prompt you to chase him.
- This is the only time that Vlad appears outside of cutscenes, mostly because you have to kill him. This is the same for Mikhail Faustin and Francis McReary.
- If you push Vlad in the river then kill him in the water, the cutscene will still show Niko pulling Vlad in the water.
- After you kill Vlad and the cutscene shows Niko dumping him, his body will disappear, and is nowhere to be seen in the river where it was dumped.
- Niko most likely knew about the affair from the previous mission when Vlad talks on the phone and when Niko leaves, he calls "Gorgeous" (most likely Mallorie) back and says "Let's talk about tonight.". Also, in Clean Getaway, he tells Niko that he was talking to Mallorie and in Ivan the Not So Terrible he taunts Niko, by saying "You and your cousin's girlfriend should get along. She likes sticky finishes as well.".

Primus EasyLight

3.3 in x 3.3 in x 5 in
|Burn Time

Where to Buy
The only reason I can't give the Primus Easylight…
The only reason I can't give the Primus Easylight a perfect score is because they're so expensive. Other than that they are incredibly well built and the travel boxes make transporting them 100% worry free. The mantles are light years better than any other brands. I've been using the same mantle for years and amazingly they never fall apart.
- Precision engineering for a tight seal, easy access to mantle,
- Light, durable, very good at maintaining any light setting and to top it off they're even beautiful to look at.
- They're worth the money if you don't mind spending the initial cost. The mantles are about $10 a pair vs. $1.50 for other lights' mantles.
- The fuel tanks are quite expensive as well.
I love them, and am very happy that I was forced into buying them during a storm that had emptied the shelves of everything but. Now that I've got them, I'd never want to use anything else. I do plan to buy a converter that will allow me to use standard butane cans rather than the expensive ones they fit.
So you don't find the mantles to be fragile at all? I have a similar looking lantern that uses the 1lb propane canisters, but I rarely use it because the mantles are so fragile that they always break during transport.

What can I say. I still have mine from the early '80s and it still works like new. Mantles are a little expensive but in a pinch I've actually modified a cheap Coleman to fit.
What can I say...Primus manufactures a great product!
Price Paid: $55
What can I say...Primus manufactures a great product! I've been using this lantern for some time and have found it to outperform most in its class. It has superior light output to others, great solid carry case, and a matching fuel efficiency to most in the isobutane class.
Bear in mind it is still a glass globe lantern and still requires some care. I have recently purchased a Brunton Lucy lantern for my ATV camping and though it has inferior light output than the Primus, it gives me peace of mind concerning durability. Hope this helps.

Work exactly as it was meant to. Comfortably soft but bright light thanks to the simple but yet effective white-glass globed design. Easy to pack and set up, fuel efficient. A big bang for the bucks product.

Price Paid: $40
Or also known as PTL-2245. I first purchased the brunton mantless lantern. Brunton say's it's a little tricky to lite--a little? I couldn't even light a flame, let alone keep it lit! Mantle lanterns are the way to go!!!They're easy to fit the mantle on the torch head, for some it's a hassle.
Anyway I can't say enough about the Primus EasyLight, some variations about the wattage differ, but all and all you get one hell of a little powerhouse of a light. When I'm packing light for an extended trip I carry two of these lanterns with me.
Easy to light (haven't been in severe windy conditions--yet), however, I love the compact and well design of the lantern's unique style. I've used the hell out of it, even I read voraciously all reviews all research information that I can about everything that I buy. I still got to go way beyond the stats.
I'm trying to pack as light as I can, however there're just some items I can't go without, I NEED WHAT I NEED!!! but common sense dictates what I must carry.
The Primus lantern isn't exactly 80-watts, I'd say 60 watts at best. But still plenty of light to navigate this darken world. It'll light up to a 20*20 area max--10*10 area min.
I was on a recent backpacking trip with a friend, he brought a Coleman North Star propane lantern. He had a Shasta 5000 with this lantern lashed to the front of the pack and inside had four propane canisters (less the really important items) I carried all of my stuff (all compact including freeze dried and gore-tex outer wear). To make a long story short he dumped the North Star and propane canisters at a camp site trash can.
I hope this review helps in making the only decision in your lighting needs!

- Abstract
- Oral history interviews were conducted with forty-eight women in the year 1998 that were wives, mothers, housewives and homemakers in Western Australia in the 1950s. The results of this study showed that women use cookbooks and recipes as a guide, but they apply their learned skills to make the food hence their foodmaking knowledge was transformative which indicated a level of competence and confidence that was gained with practice.

Re:Marriland Wiki
The Marriland Wiki is a split-off from the Pokémon Wiki due to Wikia forcing several changes on the wiki, which we were uncomfortable with. As such, all of the Pokémon Wiki's content up to around August is just about identical to the Marriland Wiki.

Requesting user rights
You are no longer allowed to request user rights since it is clear that you asked for these people to vote for you. Perhaps this will be lifted in time. But for now, you are not allowed to request rights. – EnemyPeacemaker 13:54, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
- This is not a "another 30 days" thing. You are not allowed to request until further notice. – EnemyPeacemaker 14:00, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
- Until further notice, yes. Perhaps you shouldn't have had people from other places vote for you. – EnemyPeacemaker 14:30, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Jazzi won't respond
If Jazzi doesn't respond, you had better damn well wait for her to. Don't come to me. I'm dissappointed with your behavior over the user rights. Don't attempt to request user rights for a long time, as any requests within a 6 month to a year long period will most like reprieved as soon as it is noticed. Slayingthehalcyon (Talk) 19:45,1/27/2013 4,187
I'm thinking its going to be a long time before you get user rights, but in the meantime, prove your usefulness and make some edits, (probably the only way to attempt getting back on Jäzzi's good side...) Slayingthehalcyon (Talk) 13:23,1/28/2013 4,187
Talk to Jäzzi about that one. Slayingthehalcyon (Talk) 13:19,1/28/2013 4,187
No, I was given absolutely no reason as to why I should unprotect it other than "for the useful if statements". You're going to have to actually think this one over. – EnemyPeacemaker 17:33, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Blugo, I will not disuses this through undoing of edits. Stop what you are doing, undoing it because of fixing a link is pointless. Do you know what [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] is called? It is called bypassing, it is pointless if there is already a redirect link placed and it is not in use, it takes only edits and if editors want to do something quickly then they do it like that. There is no fixing in redirects so stop undoing it because it turns out pointless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KidProdigy (talk • contribs)

http://mmajunkie.com A middleweight bout between former NCAA Division I wrestling standouts Mark Munoz (9-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and C.B. Dollaway (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) has been targeted for UFC on Versus 3.
A source close to the fighters told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) verbal agreements are in place. MMAWeekly.com first reported the bout.
As MMAjunkie.com first reported earlier today, UFC on Versus 3 is expected to take place March 3 at a location and venue to be announced.
The Versus-televised event airs on Versus with a Diego Sanchez vs. Martin Kampmann headliner.
Munoz, a 2001 NCAA national champion and two-time All-American at Oklahoma State, recently scored one of his biggest wins to date with a unanimous-decision victory over friend and former training partner Aaron Simpson at UFC 123. Prior to the win, Munoz suffered a split-decision defeat to Yushin Okami, which snapped a three-fight UFC win streak over Nick Catone, Ryan Jensen and Kendall Grove.
He now looks for his fifth win in six fights against Dollaway, a JUCO national champion and eventual All-American after transferring to Arizona State. Since a quick submission loss to Tom Lawlor at UFC 100, "The Ultimate Fighter 7" runner-up has posted consecutive wins over Jay Silva, Goran Reljic and Joe Doerksen, which earned a $70,000 "Submission of the Night" bonus.

Mr. Wongs
this wiki
Mr. Wongs, also known as the Wong in Grand Theft Auto Advance, is a Mule-based laundry van featured in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories
Unlike the other Mule based vans, the Mr. Wongs in GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories are front wheel drive. The Mr. Wongs may also achieve very high speed despite it's bad handling due likely to it's heavy weight. Aside from the drivetrain, it is basically identical to the Triad Fish Van, right down to the horn. Like the Mule and Triad Fish Van, the Mr. Wongs is also available in a variety of body colors.
The truck is evidently named after Mr. Wong's Laundrette in Chinatown in Portland, Liberty City. When entered by the player, the truck is referred to as "Mr. Wongs" (without a period in the end of "Mr" and an apostrophe before the "s"), but the period is present on the company graphics of the truck, and both the period and the apostrophe appear on the logo on the window of the store. Much like the launderette itself, the van also features the slogans: "Liberty's First Choice For All It's Dirty Laundry" and "If It Ain't Wong, It Ain't White" (a pun on the phrase "If it ain't wrong, it ain't right").
In the GTA III instruction manual, where it talks about the Triads, the Mr. Wongs is depicted as being the gang car of the Triads, although in GTA III it appears only in one mission (Taking Out the Laundry), and the normal gang vehicle used by the Triads is the similar Triad Fish Van. This may suggest that in the Beta, the gang car normaly used by the Triads was the Mr. Wongs.
GTA Advance
In GTA Advance, the vehicle, which name is shortened to be known simply as the "Wong", is the gang car of the Triads, substituting the role of the Triad Fish Van, known in the game as the Belly. It is effectively the largest truck in the game.
- GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories
- Behind Mr. Wong's Launderette in Chinatown, Portland Island, Liberty City.
- The Mr Wongs is not normally found driving on the streets, except for in the mission "Taking Out The Laundry" in GTA III where Claude is tasked to blow up three of these vans. It also occasionally spawns during Vigilante missions as a stolen vehicle.
- Sometimes spawns during Firefighter mission as a burning vehicle.

Video: First eyewitness account of Aurora theater shooting
Ten of the victims died at the theater and two others at area hospitals.
Aurora Police identified the suspected shooter as 24-year-old James Holmes, whose apartment four miles away on the 1600 block of Paris Street in Aurora, was booby trapped. Authorities are confident the gunman acted alone.
Related story: Suspect's apartment 'booby-trapped'
According to the Associated Press, Holmes bought a ticket to the midnight showing and went into the theater as part of the crowd.
A federal law enforcement official said Holmes is believed to have propped open an exit door in the theater as the movie was playing, donned protective ballistic gear and opened fire.
Police said he had an AR-15 assault rifle, a shotgun, and two .40-caliber Glock handguns. Holmes is also believed to have hurled a gas canister into the theater before opening fire.
Related story: AP: Holmes not cooperating, called self 'Joker'
According to sources, Holmes purchased the guns at three different metro Denver stores in the past two months.
Police say he purchased 6,000 rounds of ammunition online. They say with that amount of ammo, Holmes could have shot 50 to 60 rounds in one minute.
Holmes' motive is still unknown.
Area hospitals respond
Victims were transported by police, ambulance and by personal vehicles to several area hospitals.
Related story: Theater shooting: Hospitals respond quickly to devastating theater shooting
University Hospital, Children's Hospital Colorado, Medical Center of Aurora, Denver Health Medical Center and Swedish Medical Center all took patients from the shooting.
Victims named
Related story: Names of victims emerge in Colo. theater rampage
Suspect attended University Of Colorado Denver
Holmes was in the process of withdrawing from The University of Colorado Denver's graduated program in neurosciences.
Police evacuated two research buildings on the campus as a precaution. University of Colorado-Denver Police Chief Doug Abraham sent a campus-wide email Friday ordering all non-essential personnel to leave the campus or stay home.
Related story: Campus research buildings evacuated after shooting
Holmes' family releases statement
Holmes family in California released the following statement regarding the shooting:
"Our hearts go out to those who were involved in this tragedy and to the families and friends of those involved. We ask that the media respect our privacy during this difficult time. Our family is cooperating with authorities in both San Diego, California and Aurora, Colorado. We are still trying to process this information and we appreciate that people will respect our privacy."
Suspect bought guns legally
Police say there was nothing illegal about the guns and ammunition he allegedly used during a Colorado movie theater attack.
"All the weapons that he possessed, he possessed legally," Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said. "And all the clips that he possessed, he possessed legally. And all the ammunition that he possessed, he possessed legally."
The four weapons recovered following the shootings were purchased by the suspect from retail gun stores in Colorado in the last two months, authorities said Friday.
Related story: Police: Colo. shooting suspect bought guns legally
Suspect segregated in jail
Arapahoe County officials say Holmes is being held in administrative segregation. Jail officials say there has been no direct threats against Holmes but removed him from the general population due to the high-profile nature of the case.
Jail officials say Holmes is not on suicide watch and has not had any visitors since he entered the Arapahoe County Jail Friday.

Long legal process ahead for suspect
Holmes is due in court Monday morning. 9NEWS Legal Analyst Robinson says people can expect a simple advisement procedure on that day.
"I would suspect it's too early for the defense to be raising competency - which will probably happen - and it'll be too early for the prosecution to have charges together," Robinson told 9NEWS.
Competency is a large debate in this case.
Related story: Long legal process ahead for theater shooting suspect James Holmes
Witnesses talk
"It was chaotic," one witness told 9NEWS. "We saw people running. We heard screaming from other theaters."
"It was actually during a shootout scene during the movie where this popping started happening," Donovan Tate told 9NEWS. "I thought it was like fireworks or firecrackers like someone playing a prank or joke. Oh yeah, it was surreal," Tate said. "It was horrific site. Once outside, you saw people with blood all over their clothes. I had friends scattered throughout the theater. Some were hit, but none of them were too serious. Another one of my friends we're not too sure about him, but we're praying for him."
"I walked out and to my right, there was a girl shot in her knee - holding onto her mom and crying," another witness said. "I actually went to the back of the building where there were more victims. A guy with his leg blown open ... another guy shot in the foot ... a lady shot in her hand."
First responders scarred from shooting
John Nicoletti was on scene of the Columbine High School shootings, responded at the Platte Canyon shooting and was part of a team who did an assessment at Virginia Tech. He spoke to 9NEWS Saturday morning about how first responders can be survivors just as much as the victims can.
"They did a heroic job," John Nicoletti, a police psychologist, said. "They went in there and got those people out. There are images and things that folks have to live with."

How to to talk to your kids
"There's some things parents can say to help reduce fears and anxieties with the children," Anya Bebe, a child therapist and parent coach, said. "I had to sit down [Friday] with my children too. So one of the best things to do is to let them know enough information so they're not hearing it first from the news, or the TV or friends. So, you want to give them the information yourself."
Bebe says the best way to start is to let them know the end of the story first because it helps reduce anxiety.

Swine Flu Hits Hockey
- Thursday, October 29, 2009 1:03 PM
- Written By: Josh Marks
Hockey players are supposed to be some of the toughest guys on the planet. I mean when you are from towns such as Moose Jaw, Canada and Moscow, Russia then you are likely to have Superman-like immunity.
However, a recent rash of Swine Flu victims is challenging that notion.
The four cases reported so far have NHL teams scrambling to prevent the H1N1 virus from spreading.
Washington Capitals left wing Quintin Lang joins Edmonton's Ladislav Smid (pictured above), Colorado's Peter Budaj and Doug Weight of the New York Islanders in being diagnosed with the dreaded virus.
The Canadian Press reports that Smid did indeed test positive for the Swine Flu, but the 23-year-old defenseman didn't miss a game and was back on the ice after resting for two days. Other Oilers players have been hit harder by the seasonal flu. The players are taking the initiative to stay away from the rink if they feel sick.
After Avs backup goalie Budaj came down with H1N1, the team put a plan into effect, reports The Denver Post. If a player is diagnosed he will be isolated while preventative medications will be given to his teammates.
Newsday reports that Weight has returned to the Isles lineup following his bout with the Swine Flu, in which he missed three games. Weight chose to isolate himself from his family and teammates while he was recovering.
According to The Washington Post, some of the precautions the Caps are taking include hand sanitizers being placed around their Arlington, Virginia practice facility. But when hockey players share the same locker room, water bottles, equipment, towels, sweat and blood, is it really possible to stop the flu from spreading?
Caps coach Bruce Boudreau said the following to the Post's Capitals beat writer Tarik El-Bashir:
"I'm hoping to shake fewer hands. It gets in your hands and fingers, and germs get in your cuticles. Everybody you meet is nice and wants to shake your hand. You don't want to be rude and say no, but . . ."
Injury News Update: The latest injury news comes from Pittsburgh where it was revealed today that Penguins star Evgeni Malkin will be sidelined 2-3 weeks with a strained right shoulder. The loss comes soon after it was announced that defenseman Sergei Gonchar will be out 4-6 weeks with a broken wrist.

Momma's Restaurante is a restaurant located in Saint Mark's, Portland Island, Liberty City. The restaurant has been in business since 1968 and is run by Ma Cipriani. Ma lives at the restaurant and her son, Toni, moves in between 1998 and 2001. The restaurant is frequented by Leone Family gang members, including Salvatore Leone. The restaurant is the starting point for Ma's missions in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Toni's missions in Grand Theft Auto III.
The Restaurant also features a cramped parking lot, where a Kuruma is parked in GTA III, and a Leone Sentinel parked in GTA LCS. Both vehicles are often on alarm, so care should be taken when jacking them and driving them away, as a street passing by the restaurant is usually crowded with vehicles, and the alarm may attract Police, which can arrest the player in no time.
In both its appearances, Momma's Restaurante is a starting point for several storyline missions, which become available to the player at a relatively early stage of both games (when Staunton Island is not yet officially accessible). In GTA III Claude receives missions from Toni Cipriani, while in GTA LCS Toni Cipriani himself takes missions from his mother.
Grand Theft Auto III (Toni Cipriani's missions)
Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories (Ma Cipriani's missions)
- As the advertisement from GTA III says, It's possible that the Cipriani family was in Liberty City some time around 1968.
- In Liberty City Stories, Toni talks to Ma from outside the building, and does not go inside.
- The Restaurant's name in the game is Ristorante Cipriani
- The Restaurant makes a prominent appearance in roughly 6 missions in each game. 5 of them are given to the protagonist by a respective boss, and the other mission is Cipriani's Chauffeur and The Sicilian Gambit in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories respectively.

- "And to my son, the Stallion Who Will Mount the World, I will also pledge a gift. I will give him the iron chair that his mother's father sat upon..."
- ―Khal Drogo
Drogo is a major character in the first season. He is played by starring cast member Jason Momoa, and debuts in the series premiere. Drogo is a khal or chieftain of the Dothraki people and is often referred to with his full title, Khal Drogo.
Drogo is a powerful warlord and feared warrior. He marries Daenerys Targaryen and subsequently grows to love her. He promises to retake the Seven Kingdoms for her after she survives an assassination attempt. He raids a Lhazareen village to take slaves to fund the planned invasion. He took a small wound during the sack of the village and is treated by the godswife and maegi Mirri Maz Duur. His wound festers and he becomes gravely unwell. Daenerys asks Mirri Maz Duur to save him using blood magic but Mirri Maz Duur uses a spell that leaves him in a vegetative state in revenge for the destruction of her village. Daenerys ends his suffering herself and burns Duur alive on his funeral pyre. Daenerys walks into the flames with her dragon eggs, but survives the inferno and hatches three dragons.
Drogo is a khal or warlord of the Dothraki, the famed nomadic horse-lords of the eastern continent beyond the Narrow Sea. The Dothraki are fierce warriors, skilled in battle, unrelenting in combat and known for savagery towards non-Dothraki. Amongst their own people they have a code of honor, albeit still a harsh and unforgiving one. Drogo was very young to have his own khalasar, particularly such a large one. He is a legendary warrior and has never been defeated in battle.[1] Drogo desired the most beautiful and exotic woman in the world as his khaleesi or wife, and enlisted Magister Illyrio Mopatis of Pentos to help him find such a woman.[2]
He is guarded by bloodriders including Qotho.[2] Generals or ko in his khalasar include Pono and Jhaqo.[3]
Season 1
Illyrio and Prince Viserys Targaryen arrange the marriage of Viserys' sister Daenerys to Khal Drogo in return for Drogo supplying Dothraki troops to support Viserys' play for the Iron Throne of Westeros. Drogo agrees, but does not stipulate a time frame. Viserys notes the length of Drogo's braid: Dothraki have to cut off their hair when they are defeated, but Drogo's long hair suggests that he has never been defeated in battle. Viserys states that Drogo is a "savage" but also "one of the finest killers alive".[2]
Drogo marries Daenerys outside the Free City of Pentos, but is unable to communicate with his new wife due to them not sharing a language. A Westerosi knight who has Drogo's favor, Ser Jorah Mormont, aids with translation. Illyrio gives Daenerys three dragon eggs that have turned to stone due to the passage of time. Drogo gives Daenerys a beautiful white horse. He is also determined to consummate their marriage immediately, which Daenerys finds uncomfortable and frightening.[2] Attempting to make her time with Drogo more bearable, Daenerys begins learning the Dothraki language from her handmaid Irri. She seeks advice from her handmaid, Doreah, on how to best please him in bed whilst establishing her own power over him using her sexuality. Combining these skills, she makes Drogo respect her as an equal.[4] After two months Daenerys and Drogo are happier together. Drogo expresses satisfaction and joy at the news that Daenerys is with child, and she thinks it will be a boy.[5]
In King's Landing, King Robert Baratheon's spymaster, Varys, is working with Illyrio in planning the Dothraki invasion of the Seven Kingdoms. However, Drogo is content to wait until his son is born before planning the assault. Varys thinks the situation in Westeros will unravel much more quickly than they anticipated and urges Illyrio to get Drogo to speed up his timetable.[6]
In Vaes Dothrak, Drogo is pleased to learn that his son will be the 'Stallion Who Mounts the World', a prophesied khal of khals who will lead the Dothraki to dominion over all the lands of the world. He also approves his wife naming him Rhaego after her slain brother, Rhaegar, a great warrior defeated in battle by "the usurper" Robert Baratheon. However, a drunken and aggressive Viserys petulantly demands that Drogo fulfill his end of the bargain and threatens to harm Daenerys and her child. Drogo agrees to give Viserys a fine crown. He melts a gold belt in a pot, then 'crowns' Viserys with the molten gold, killing him.[7]
Daenerys asks Drogo to continue with the invasion but he is reluctant to attempt to cross the Narrow Sea because of his people's fear of the "poison water" (the sea, which the Dothraki fear, because they distrust any liquid that a horse will not drink) and "wooden horses" (ships). Ser Jorah saves Daenerys from a poisoner sent by King Robert. Learning of the attempt Drogo rewards Jorah with a horse. Drogo swears a blood oath that he will punish King Robert for his cowardice, lead the Dothraki beyond the poison water to invade the Seven Kingdoms and seat his son on the "Iron Chair" of Westeros.[8]
Drogo leads his men to raid and plunder a village of the Lhazareen, peaceful sheep-herders. He plans to take slaves to trade for a fleet to invade Westeros. Daenerys protests when the Dothraki rape the women of the village, and has her retinue stop the practice. Mago becomes infuriated at Daenerys' presumption and complains to Drogo.
Drogo notes that this is custom amongst the Dothraki, but out of admiration for Daenerys' spirit, agrees to let her keep the slaves for herself. Mago accuses Drogo of being at the whim of the "foreign whore", holding his sword to Drogo's chest. Enraged, Drogo presses the blade into his own flesh to show his contempt for Mago's challenge, causing a wound, before he fights Mago in single combat, dropping his weapons to show his disdain for Mago's skills. He kills Mago and tears his tongue out through his throat. He allows one of Dany's new slaves, Mirri Maz Duur, to treat his injury – ignoring warnings from his bloodrider Qotho.[9] The wound festers and Drogo becomes unable to ride, a great shame within the Dothraki culture, for "a Khal that cannot ride cannot lead". Duur tells Daenerys that he will die soon.
Daenerys commands her to use magic to save Drogo and Duur agrees, but the Dothraki become agitated at this display of "witchcraft". The khalasar separates. Qotho intervenes to prevent the ritual and is killed by Ser Jorah Mormont. Daenerys is injured and goes in labor.[10]
The child, however, is stillborn. Drogo's life is saved but he is left in a vegetative state. Duur admits she did this deliberately in revenge for the sacking of her village. Weeping, Daenerys smothers Drogo with a pillow to end his misery. She has Duur burned alive on Drogo's funeral pyre. Daenerys places her dragon eggs in the flames and walks into them. This conflagration triggers the hatching of Dany's dragon eggs, releasing the first three dragons into the world in a century and a half.[11]
Season 2
Daenerys sees Drogo in her visions when she visits the House of the Undying. She sees him in the tent she once shared, holding a small child in his arms, their son Rhaego. They share an emotional reunion but she chooses to leave, knowing that they are only an illusion.[12]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Khal Drogo commands forty thousand Dothraki warriors and is a skilled and respected war leader. His bloodriders are Cohollo, Qotho, and Haggo. Ko in his khalasar include Jhaqo, Pono and Mago. He owns a palace in Vaes Dothrak and a nine-towered mansion in Pentos, given to him by the magisters of the city to buy him off to avoid the Dothraki looting the city.
Of note is his treatment of Daenerys on their wedding night, which is significantly more sensitive than in the TV series, including explicitly asking her permission with the word "No?", to which Daenerys replies "Yes".
Dothraki custom dictates that defeated warriors should shave their heads, but Drogo dies with all of his immensely long hair, having never once been defeated in combat. In the books, the Dothraki adorn their long hair braids with various small bells. Jason Momoa said the bells weren't included in the TV series, because they weren't very scary in real life; the constant jingling noises were somewhat comical, and it was felt they detracted from the performance.[13]
In the Dothraki tradition he has a long moustache, but no beard.

Sage 50 2012 vs TAS
I work for a property company which uses Sage 50 2009 (ie not the Accountants version). From the outset I was not that that impressed with Sage, finding it quite cumbersome & inflexible but the final straw was when I realised that there is no facility to lock closed periods to prevent them being altered inadvertently. At this point I decided to switch to TAS, which I had used at a previous employer and been very happy with.
However, Sage has now brought out 2012 which I understand allows periods to be locked. While this will not necessarily fix the other issues I have with Sage, this does fix the "final straw" and switching to a new package (TAS) will inevitably be time consuming.
Has anyone any experience with Sage 50 2012 (not the Accountants version) and/or how it compares with TAS. When I previoulsy switched to Sage 50 2009 from Sage 50 2007 I found that reports ran much more slowly - does this trend continue with 2012.
Thank you
v2012 1 thanks
"When I previoulsy switched to Sage 50 2009 from Sage 50 2007 I found that reports ran much more slowly - does this trend continue with 2012."
If there is one thing that can be said for v2012, it is light years faster than previous versions when it comes to reporting, in fact, it may well be the fastest version of Sage 50 ever...
2012 has speeded up a lot , 1 thanks
2012 has speeded up a lot , there is a huge difference in the speed.
Kind Regards Sarah Douglas , Douglas Accountancy & Bookkeeping Services. Glasgow
Version 2012 1 thanks
I agrre that the new version is much faster, and the lock date facility is good in that you can set certain users who can never overide it and senior staff can overide if required. Quite flexible.
Does sorting work properly in 2012
Sage upgraded us free from 2007 to 2009 because sorting by Date (eg in Customer Activity) did not work properly in in 2007. However, sorting on other fields (eg Ref in Nominal Activity) still does not work in 2009 eg 39488 will come before 669 (I think because 6 is greater than 3).
Do all fields sort properly in 2012?
PS Is there any option in 2012 for reports to pre-fill fields with the last set of entries eg so that if you want to run the same report a few times (having posted entries in betweeen) you do not need to fill in all the data each time?
v2012 1 thanks
That particular sort is correct - the Ref field is an alpha numeric field rather than a numeric field and, alphabetically, 39488 does come before 669 - in an instance like that, you need to make sure that the numbers are zero prefixed so 669 would have to be 00669.

More utilities are piloting smart grid-enabled demand response programs, but customer engagement is crucial to success
Prices and rate structures still vary widely among utilities, with time-of-use rates among the most prevalent pricing plans, but critical peak pricing and its variants are showing promise to deliver the kind of necessary dynamic rate structures to different residential and small business customer segments.
"Demand response is only going to become more versatile for utilities with the continued proliferation of smart meters," says Will Adams, editor for Chartwell. "However, successful demand response programs take time to hone and develop properly, because customer education and engagement are both crucial."
Demand Response and Rate Programs for Residential Customers 2012 also addresses customer interest in smart grid related in-home technologies and other tools that could create ease-of-use for customer participation in dynamic pricing programs.
Chartwell's Energy Audits and Upgrades Customers 2012 report is offered through Chartwell's Customer Programs Service that includes research on energy efficiency, demand response, renewable energy, program marketing, market research and more.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is scar tissue in the filtering unit of the kidney. This structure is called the glomerulus. The glomeruli serve as filters that help the body get harmful substances. Each kidney has thousands of glomeruli.
"Focal" means that some of the glomeruli become scarred. Others remain normal. "Segmental" means that only part of an individual glomerulus is damaged.
Segmental glomerulosclerosis; Focal sclerosis with hyalinosis
The cause of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is often unknown.
The condition affects both children and adults. It occurs slightly more often in men and boys. It is also more common in African Americans. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis causes up to a quarter of all cases of nephrotic syndrome.
Known causes include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This exam may show issue swelling (edema) and high blood pressure. Signs of kidney (renal) failure and excess fluid may develop as the condition gets worse.
Tests may include:
Treatments may include:
The goal of treatment is to control the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome and prevent chronic kidney failure.
In general, treatments may include:
More than half of those with focal or segmental glomerulosclerosis develop chronic kidney failure within 10 years.
Call your doctor if you develop symptoms of this condition, especially if there is:
No prevention is known.

Hi Tom,
I want to add my solar cooker design to the design website.
Sunny regards,
Hii Tom,
Thanks for getting in touch with me about my new cupcake solar cooker page. I've just put the photos in, and tried to explain the process and safety as clearly as possible. Any suggestions very welcome. This is my first ever wikihow page. Regards Helen DawsonHdawsond 12:51, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Parabolic solar reflectors
Hi Tom.
As you know, I have been doing some edits on the "Parabolic Solar Reflectors" page. I've added some information, and done some tidying, while trying not to be offensive to people who have used the page to document their own achievements and those of others.
I have also recently been doing some editing to the "Solar cooker" page on Wikipedia. If you compare them, you'll see some strong similarities between these two pages. In particular, there's a paragraph about Sheffler cookers which is identical in both. I wrote it, originally in Wikipedia, and figured it would be appropriate here too. Certainly, it is better than the one it replaced. Since everything in Wikipedia is public-domain, and also since I am the original author, I can't imagine that there will be any copyright problems.
DOwenWilliams 15:24, November 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, Dowen. I saw your edits. You have improved the page greatly. Don't worry about Wikipedia. There shouldn't be a problem. We really appreciate your collaboration. We are working to get more active editors like you.

Fresnel Solar Cookers
Hi Tom:
I just noticed that you're working on a piece about Fresnel Solar Cookers. (Apparently you made a post tomorrow! It's still only 2130 GMT.)
I've never tried using plastic Fresnel lenses for cooking, but I have used them for other things. They do have some drawbacks. After a while in the sun, the plastic becomes dark and brittle. If it gets hot, it melts and deforms. Small deformations have large effects on the lenses' focusing abilities. Also, the lenses are difficult to keep clean. The ridges trap dirt.
It's a neat idea, but I think some practical experiments should be done before recommending these things to the solar cooking world.
Happy New Year.
DOwenWilliams 21:40, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, Dowen. I agree that they are not a good idea in general. I'll use some of your concerns in the article. Tom Sponheim 03:27, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

thank you for given the website to ease my project work. i have better understanding and many referrences are took in the sites. i will send you a copy for editing before i pass it to my lecture.

Editor glitches
Hi Tom:
Of late, I've been seeing some glitches in the editor while I've been making edits to the Parabolic Solar Reflectors page. I've been able to work around them until just now, when the section headings in the article have somehow got messed up, so they don't appear in the table of contents. I haven't found a way to fix this.
Can you give it a strong kick in the appropriate place?
On a related topic, is there any way to exit the editor without publishing an edit? Sometimes, when I'm experimenting with formats, I decide that I'm not making improvements, so I'd like just to cancel what I've been doing and leave the article as it was before I started. In Wikipedia and other sites, there's a "Cancel" button that I can click on to do this, but I haven't found such a thing here. Am I missing something? If there isn't such a button, could one be added?
DOwenWilliams 18:42, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, David. Can you send me a link to exactly where this error is appearing (or send pasted text?). To exit the article and throw away your changes, just click the Back button. You will see a pop-up where you can choose "Leave this page." Thanks for your edits!
- Tom Sponheim 23:33, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
Ok. Here's a chunk of text I just copied from the article. This is *not* copied from the editor. It's from the article as it appears when I try to read it.. It's from near the top of the article, just above the table of contents.
One disadvantage of a parabolic reflector is that the solar energy is concentrated in a very small area, too small to be desirable for most cooking purposes. Moreover, this area moves quickly across the cooking container, unless the parabola is adjusted frequently. Parabolas with focal lengths of 1 to 3 meters (3 to 10 feet) are most useful for solar cooking. The focal length is the distance from the center of the parabolic surface to the focus. The solar image diameter is about 1/120 the focal length. For focal lengths in the range above, the image of the sun will be 8 to 25 mm (1/3 to 1 inch). As the earth rotates, the image moves 87 to 260 mm (10 image diameters) in 20 minutes.
==Rigid Parabolas==
Under this category, three major types have been identified:
Note that the section title "Rigid parabolas" is not shown as a title. The "==" before and after it should make it appear as a title, but this isn't happening. Also, this title is not appearing in the table of contents.
There are several other titles further down the article where the same thing is happening. Also, the spacing between lines is often wrong.
This problem suddently appeared this afternoon. Previously, these titles and spaces were displayed properly.
Previously, I had problems when I was editing something and tried to go into "source" mode. A pop-up appeared saying that I had made edits and not saved them, which was not true. I managed to work around this by exiting from the editor and going back in. For some reason, it worked ok the second time.
Occam's Razor suggests that there is just one thing wrong that is causing all the problems. I hope this is true!
DOwenWilliams 01:32, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
P.S. SCREAM! I showed you the error, but the damned thing corrected it *here*! Anyway, take a look at the actual article, and you'll see that that section title is shown wrongly.
DOwenWilliams 01:32, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
(i) Shallow parabolas, where the focus is outside the rim of the reflector
- The problem was that the first set of equal signs was on a different line. Everything has to be on the same line like this:
==Rigid Parabolas==
- Tom Sponheim 04:55, January 9, 2012 (UTC
- But how did it get to be on a different line? It wasn't originally. As seen on my screen, it wasn't on a different line even after the problem appeared.
- Actually, the line arangement of the whole article is thoroughly messed up. Lots of big blank spaces have appeared. Several other headings, such as "Scheffler Cookers", still appear wih equals signs, which appear to me to be on one line.
- Maybe we should just go back to a previous version of the article, prior to the edits I made yesterday. Can I do that? I'm sure you can.
- DOwenWilliams 16:07, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
- I rolled the page back to your earlier version. You can still see your changes by following this link. You'll see your changes in red on the left. Tom Sponheim 22:17, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
Hi Tom:
You didn't go back quite far enough. I managed to go back one step further, and saved a version which looks just fine. So the article is now in good shape, as far as I can see. The edit I did after this version was originally saved was just a trivial cosmetic thing. I'm not going to invite trouble by trying to do it again!
Actually, I'm leery of doing any more edits on this article, unless something new crops up. I feel like I'm walking in a minefield. The article in its present form is pretty good, I think. I'll just leave it as it is.
DOwenWilliams 22:58, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
- You shouldn't worry about editing. I've made 19k edits and I've never encountered that problem. Edit away and I'll fix anything that pops up. Tom Sponheim 06:57, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
I'll probably come back to it someday, but at present I have a strong impression that there's a bug somewhere which I'd prefer not to encounter again. When I "published" the current version of the article yesterday, the result was a mess. I managed to go back and published the exact same version again, and this time the result looked fine. What was different? I have no idea.
Do you have any way of counting how many people read articles like this? An awful lot of the information in it is very old, dating back to the 1980s or earlier, and can't have much relevance now. Also, a lot of it reflects Indian cultural priorities, heaping praise on individual people in a way that we wouldn't do in the West, and making me feel quite uncomfortable. I don't know how other readers feel about it.
DOwenWilliams 16:08, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Tom,
How are you doing. Me and my team are working hard on expanding the project to more communities in the contry. i will update my page as soon as we are done with the first phase.
Hi Tom; I just noticed that Appropedia has a nice article on Solar Cooking with kind words about this wiki.[1] Best wishes, Walter Siegmund (talk) 16:07, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
Solar ca
Hi Tom:
Thanks for getting rid of that "Solar ca" category I accidentally created.
You've probably noticed that I've edited the "Appropedia" page to include more information. I do quite a lot of writing for Appropedia, Wikipedia, and here. Sometimes, I find myself writing the same thing three times. It's better, I think, to have cross-links between these wikis, to avoid unnecessary duplication. Making users here aware of the existence of Appropedia should be helpful for everyone.
David DOwenWilliams 01:26, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
Partial translations
Hi Tom:
Just for fun, I tried looking at the automatic translations of the Parabolic solar reflectors page into other languages. I'm reasonably fluent in Spanish and French, so I wondered if the translations into these languages would make sense to me.
They're not bad, as far as they go, but they are incomplete! Part-way through the article, each translation switches into English. The rest of the article is not translated.
Maybe the translator can't cope with an article that long. Maybe it's a setting that could be adjusted.
Any hope of fixing it?
DOwenWilliams 19:01, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know of any way to adust how much Google translates. I'll do a test and see if Bing translates more of the article. I agree that the translations are pretty darn good at least for French and Spanish. I remember the Dutch and German being much rougher though.
- Eventually we're hoping to make the Compendium articles somewhat shorter. We want to take out the long lists of individual cookers and make each of these articles contain good general information (like you have been adding) while still linking to individual pages about the various cookers. This should get around the partial translation problem. Thanks again for great contributions to the site.
- Tom Sponheim 17:12, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes. I agree that the article should be substantially shortened. At its present length, it not only causes problems with the translator, it is also extremely slow to load, and difficult to read. Much of the material ia long out of date and nowadays essentially useless. I have thought of deleting some of this old stuff, but haven't done so since the people who contributed it are still around and might be upset. Maybe they should be gently encouraged to clean up and update their contributions.
- You're welcome. I enjoy doing it.

bad category
Hi Tom:
Sorry. I messed up again. At the bottom of the Solar calculations page, you'll see a category:

I thought I could add two categories, separated with a comma. Obviously, it didn't work, and I can't fix it. Help!
Live and learn.

P.S. Why is Solar calculations in red? Looks ok to me.
red line
Hi Tom. Me again. :-(
Thanks for fixing that bad category.
There's still a problem with the Solar calculations page. As you see, the name keeps coming up in red. Clicking on it leads to an editing page with no content. On the other hand, typing "Solar calculations" into the "Search This Wiki" window at the top-right corner works just fine.
Any clues?

Missing images
Hi Tom:
I don't often scan down to the very bottom of the Parabolic solar reflectors page, so I've only today noticed that some images are missing, just above the "Quick notes" title. I guess they could have been missing for a while.
I don't think they're any great loss. They didn't add much to the article. But since they're gone. I guess their titles should be deleted too.

Math in text
Hi Tom:
Thanks for fixing the problem that cropped up involving mathematical formulas, etc., in the Parabolic solar reflectors page.
I notice that you (or whoever) deleted a lot of my uses of "scriptstyle". Were these the cause of the problem? I like scriptstyle. It looks nicer than simple math. I have used it a lot, both here and elsewhere, and have never previously seen any difficulty with it. But if it causes problems, please let me know and I will avoid it in future.
Thanks again.

This woman was as gracious as can be. I complimented her hat and not a second went by before she pulled me across the street to the hat store where she had purchased it. After my tour of the incredible shop, we chatted for a moment and I learned that she is a retired professor from Sarah Lawrence. We also both decided that you can never have too many hats.

By editor • Aug 13, 2012

Rice University sociologist Stephen Klineberg says income segregation is a direct result of a shrinking middle class. He speaks with guest host Jacki Lyden about these changes.

Jaeger-LeCoultre opens the doors of its Manufacture and reveals its secrets to the Chinese customers of the Brand in a new exhibition entitled, "The Manufacture comes to you".
When first you hold a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch in your hands, you find yourself carried away by the unique character of its pure lines and its perfection. But as you start to look more closely at this mysterious microcosm, you begin to think of the extraordinary expertise and passion of the people who created it. You soon begin to find yourself trying to imagine what actually goes on behind the doors of the Manufacture's workshops, locked away in the serene and silent calm of the Vallée de Joux in Switzerland.
To satisfy this curiosity among the Chinese fans of Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Brand has created a travelling exhibition which will visit the major cities of China telling the story of its development. "The Manufacture comes to you" brings together the past and the present to reveal the unique universe of this most remarkable exemplar of the great Swiss watchmaking tradition.
"The Manufacture comes to you" is a journey through time in several parts. Visitors will follow the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, from its humble beginnings to its position of pre-eminence in the watchmaking world today. Moving from discovery to discovery, the visitor will watch as, time and time again, the impossible meets the everyday and finds itself transformed into an avant-garde marvel. This voyage through dream space penetrates to the very heart of this magical alchemy between past and present, between man and nature, which has given life to Jaeger-LeCoultre's greatest achievements. From the Reverso to the Master Control, the exhibition unveils the individual skills and techniques that go into the creation of each timepiece, from initial conception right through to the final touches. The visitor discovers the timepieces and steps into the reality of the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, breathing in its atmosphere, looking out into the landscape, and experiencing the way of life at Jaeger-LeCoultre.
