Over reaction id say.
Just don't buy it, you clowns. Other people might really like it.
This is getting ridiculous. Petition to end petition please :p
This petition was begun by one of CV's own members, mind you. It was also begun quite a while ago...long enough ago that this hardly qualifies as news.
And as I've said before, I am not capable of caring less about the opinions of fans of this book than I do. What they love directly harms me.
With its cancellation, they stand to lose a potentially good story. With its continuation, I stand to lose half a dozen great characters, including my favorite. My stakes are higher. I refuse to just accept or embrace it.
What fans are forgetting is that popular characters constantly come back to life!
The more people fight it, the more free publicity they are giving it, all to Marvel's delight..
this is great haha
@TheHulk said:
Thank god. Hulk thought it was petition to cancel Ultimate Spiderman. Hulk actually like that series. Sure it no masterpiece like Spectacular Spider-Man, but still something good to watch for fun.
Lol, Spectacular Spider-Man? Superior Spider-Man? Either way, neither is a masterpiece.
Man Craig Kyle and Chris Yost didn't get this much anger at them, and they were killing young X-Men left and right. Jesus Christ they killed what? like 52 of them with one Purifier and a rocket launcher. People loved Kyle and Yost's New X-Men run, but they want Hopeless fired...... I'll never understand comic fans....
@judasnixon: At least that was in the course of an event, right? I mean, yeah, there are plenty of things to still get upset about, but those characters at least died during the course of something that hadn't explicitly been designed to kill them and served a larger purpose in the overall Marvel universe (not that I'm excusing them, mind you, but I don't think the failure to get angry about one thing precludes the right to get angry about another, that's all).

This series is nothing but snuff porn, and anyone who enjoys watching kids being tortured and killed for their enjoyment should at least stop trying to justify it beyond that. Hey, the SAW series of torture porn movies was built on satisfying this desire. Yes, it's just a comic book. But the whole idea of the comic book world is to get the readers invested in the characters. So yes, the publisher and writer are showing how little they care about either their characters or the readers.
The ironic thing is, anyone enjoying this series is on Arcane's side, enjoying and justifying torture and death simply for the amusement value. Oh, you're betting it's just mind rape instead of actual death? That makes it all right? No, just admit you have a bit of a sadistic monster in you and that's what this series is all about. It's all right. That's why we have fantasy stories, to explore every part of ourselves safely.
This overreaction takes the cake...
@John Valentine: Spectacular Spider-Man was amazing
@PDBL77: Let's be honest here. That's a rather inane reaction. The hate has nothing to do with the content of the book itself, but its overall themes and purpose, and seeing/understanding those themes/that purpose does not require any purchase at all. "Thanking" genuinely upset people for motivating you to aid in what's hurting them is merely schadenfreude.

Dude, Hulk surprised you don't think that. Everyone love that show even after cancellation.
@MatKrenz said:
@PDBL77: No because you would be supporting the book that'll probably kill more teens in upcoming issues.
Aye, this. And to repost what I said earlier (as your question wasn't just in PM): It has nothing to do with judgment. In fact, I have no problem with the people who just say they like the book, or find it well-written, or whatnot. Sure, I'd like to persuade these people to have some compassion on the hurting fans and at least wait to see if the book can get cancelled (which is what Because I've Never Been One to Keep My Mouth Shut... was written to address). It was your specific thank-you dig at "haters" that incensed me, as if being emotionally invested in something were a crime worthy of punishment.
People have too much free time.
We are still talking about a book, right? Ive always thought more books, not less, was the way to go. Thats just me.
@using german words to try and impress people- "You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing."
In all honesty, had there not been a thread petitioning the end of a book - thus, showing said "hate", I'd not have been interested in seeing what all the uproar was about. I'm not saying that I want to go pick up any of the comics in this series, as it's not my genre or cup o' tea. However, I certainly would like to thank the "haters" for making me aware of said product. I see no shame or harm in thanking "haters" in the same respect I'd thank someone who loved a comic for steering me in that book's direction.
I find it ridiculous to seek out a space to vent your issues with something, then ridicule or judge someone for their response. I don't see the creator of this book coming into this thread and bashing the "haters" who are speaking out against their book. Exactly what type of responses were you seeking in posting your displeasure of a fictional comic book story? Were you expecting no back talk or sarcasm? Maybe expecting not to pique someone's interest at all? That would make the thread completely mundane. What better way to turn someone to your point of view than to actually urge them to read and see your point first hand?
Seeking conformity amongst comic book fans is, in my opinion, completely mad. Expecting someone to word their post differently in an attempt to please you is also mad.
To those who have turned me onto fantastic story arcs with their praise - thank you, "lovers". Those who have piqued my curiosity or intrigue in something they strongly disliked - thank you, "haters".
@PDBL77: I'm sorry you're such an aggressive person, and that (barring the one PM in which you asked me about trading and I unfortunately couldn't help you) our first conversation has to be so antagonistic. I encourage you to pick up Thunderbolts, because despite how many people say it's terrible, apparently the ability to read another book justifies reading it no matter what it has to say.
Schadenfreude is a word which has been adapted into English, is used frequently (even on these boards) and is a perfectly concise way of expressing the concept to which it refers. Pride has nothing to do with effective writing.
@akbogert If I adapted the same state of thinking you have in assuming @PDBL77 is an aggressive person, I could deduce that you might be an egotistical jerk-face. I saw nothing aggressive in his posts to you - only a thank you for turning him onto something he wasn't aware of previously and comments made in response to your general aggressiveness and defensiveness of your calling him out. It seems odd to me that you'd speak to the aggressiveness of someone you don't know, yet you are making yourself known through an urge to cancel a comic book. Cancel is a synonym of repeal or revoke - how much more aggressive can one get than to try to dictate the fate of something of which you should have no control?
@PDBL77 said:
All of this talk just makes me want to pick up a couple issues and check it out. See whats so horrible/good about it. Adding it to my Wednesday list. Thank you, haters!
I actually picked up the 1st three issues yesterday and really enjoyed them.
I'd rather to sign a petition to keep Morrison from writing Batman! :)
I doubt that Marvel will cancel any book which both issues sold in December were in the top 50 of all books sold that month.
Issue 1 sold 66k and issue 2 sold 43k for a 19 and 50th place ranking respectively per Diamond Distributor numbers. Issue 1 sold better that month than Captain America and Hulk.
This thread provides a link to the petition for those who intend on adding their names. Those who wish to discuss it - that's what a thread in a forum is for. DO NOT send me PMs asking me not to address you here if you're making yourself head-honcho and main-man in how you address everyone else. I'm not uneducated, I'm not embarrassed by your posts. I'm embarrassed for you and the general douchey-ness of your demeanor. I feel harassed by your PM, and it's unwelcome. I'm not tagging your name here, but you know who you are. I'm here to have fun discussing and debating and learning more about books I may want to read. I am not here to become one of your verbal punching bags or a route for showing off your wordiness. Cease and desist contact with me and don't tell me what I can and cannot post opinion about. Thank you.
@Eriskegal: Just 10 posts in and you're showing some spirit. Good for you. Rockonwityabadself!!!
@knighthood: I have heard quite a few folks say they're enjoying it. "Poorly-written" is definitely not among the charges here. But I think that Morrison petition would probably get more signatures :)
@Cap10nate: I'm really waiting to see January's numbers, especially since Issue 1 can be explained by a lot of retailers automatically subscribing their Academy customers over to Arena and Issue 2 did show a significant drop-off. It'll be interesting to see between this month and next whether people are really embracing it or whether the novelty wears off. The book is so controversial I honestly have no clue what to expect.
I would also like to apologize for my role in the semi-derailing of the thread. It seems to have escalated quickly.
@akbogert:I was hoping that the January numbers would be out, but they only have the top 10 released at the moment. I have also heard a lot of praise from people who have actually read the book. Heard that the story is very engaging and well written and has been a pleasant surprise of Marvel Now.
@MadeinBangladesh: As I pointed out in some blog or other (I've lost track of how many anti-Avengers Arena blogs I've written; I think it may be 4?), the main issue with this argument is that it doesn't really address the complaint. If a character I love is killed off here, they're dead and unusable in other books regardless of whether I read or don't. Cancellation + Retcon is the only solution that actually fixes the thing about Arena I (and at least 150+ other people) don't like. Well, that or the "all just a dream" possible outcome, but I'm not holding my breath for that.
@Cap10nate: I keep checking for the results (even just projected) but yeah, they're still not out. Note that that was a 35% drop from Issue 1 to 2; that's the one thing that has me a bit optimistic. But it's still too early to tell, and likely will be for a couple more (for me, agonizing) months. And even then, cancellation isn't a retcon, and I'm actually a little afraid of what a premature canon-affecting cancellation might lead Hopeless to do. That said, I have indeed heard it is well-written (though between the bloody killing of a bloodless character and the couple points I still want answered (The Rather Gaping Hole(s) That Will Need To Be Filled... ), that isn't 100% true). I've noticed, however, that the majority (not all, but most) people who are liking the book did not previously have an attachment to the characters. The overwhelming majority of character fans, at least on CV, are opposed to the book, from what I've observed over the past six or so weeks.
I didn't like the sound of the series when it was first announced and have avoided it since. I don't like character death in general, and a series built around character death even less. There've been other books that had "characters WILL die" as one of their selling points and I avoided them as well. I've never needed the threat of death to enjoy a comic book, so those kind of series never appealed to me.
That being said, I think petitioning for its cancellation is a little much. I mean, apart from it being pretty much guaranteed not to work, it just seems a useless thing to do. If you feel strongly about it, by all means voice your displeasure. I'm always ready to talk about how much I miss Gert from Runaways or what a load of crap World War Hulk was, but I'm not making petitions or posting lengthy blogs about them.
And I'm definitely not going to tell someone who wants to try it to not read it. It's not my thing, but other people like those kind of stories and who am I to tell them they're wrong. I may be a little heartbroken when a favorite character dies, but others might not share that connection with said character. So if they can get enjoyment out of it, I'm not going to yell at them for it.
Also, if the writers pull a twist like it all being a simulation like some have speculated, I'll happily eat my own words and write a personal apology to Mr. Hopeless on these very boards.
At this point every single thread about Arena is a broken record. All the same arguments will be repeated to ad nauseam until an important announcement about whether the book lives or dies and if they decide to retcon the crap out of it to please the people who hate the idea.
@MatKrenz: Oh yes, that name goes down in the history books as the most fitting name in comics, period.
You mentioned the retcon to please people pissed off, and of course a retcon would also piss off many people currently pleased. As I said in A Few Thoughts on Avengers Arena, Inspired by the Liu Podcast (and let's admire that yes, this really is just a string of the same record everywhere), "Liu and Tony agreed that it's best to just let the book play out and not to judge it prematurely. I appreciate why they and others say that; it's true, we don't know what the ultimate plan for the book or these characters is. But it seems to me that Hopeless has created a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario here. Fans of the characters will be upset if they die -- no matter how they die, and now matter how good the story gets. Fans of the book will be upset if they don't die, because the high stakes are the only thing keeping them interested."
@TheCowman said:
Also, if the writers pull a twist like it all being a simulation like some have speculated, I'll happily eat my own words and write a personal apology to Mr. Hopeless on these very boards.
I actually agreed to something like this in a PM conversation a couple weeks back. I asked for support in trying to get the book cancelled -- not by singing a petition, but by just not buying the book. We agreed that if the series continued and ended up going in a direction that both of us could appreciate and support, that he would buy the trade collection and I had to as well. I said there, and I'll reaffirm it here, that so long as X-23 (because she's my favorite comic book character) lives and a truly meaningful/worthwhile story ends up being told, I promise to be just as vocal an apologist for it as I have been a detractor.
Also they've only killed a few people. Just because they say it's s book about a death match doesn't mean it's going to go down that way. I could be an escape book or "revolt against Arcade book. Let it run it's course because the petition will do nothing. I'm pretty sure most characters will make it out of this book, and form some sort of team.
There was once a petition to undo the Dc reboot, guess how that went!

This book was created because Marvel decided they had to many teen characters, I don't see why they would do that then not kill at least most of them in the book.
Character death is the most lazy and hackneyed trope in comic books and the fact that this book is doing well just shows how messed up the comic book industry is these days.

Difficult people can be dangerous, unreliable and unpredictable. They can be abusive and extremely hard to live with or work with if they are angry. That doesn't mean they are bad through and through, it just means you better know how to take care of yourself when you are dealing with them. The difficult man or woman in your life might even be someone you love.
You will feel better about yourself and other people as well, after reading this article.
1. Recognize that impossible people exist; you will eventually encounter them. There isn't a thing you can do about it. The first step is all about facing reality: If you think you might be dealing with an impossible person, you're probably right. When in doubt, proceed as instructed below. The headaches you save will be your own.
2. You will feel the urge either to become aggressive yourself or to run away. Try not to shout back or to burst into tears. Stay calm, count to 10, take deep breaths and stay in control.
3. Stand up to them, but don't fight. Overly aggressive people expect others to either run away from them or react with rage. Your goal is simply to assertively express your own views, not try to win a battle of right and wrong.
4. Listen to what the person has to say, before trying to talk to him or her. Don't argue, it produces no positive results.
5. Ask yourself, "How would I feel in his position?"
Share your thoughts in the comments. See you there!

I'm back to help make your visiting teaching fun and easy. So go make your appointments and I will tell you what you need! Here is the Visiting Teaching Handout for July PRINTABLE FREEBIES!
The lesson for the month of July is on Strengthening Families and Homes. When I was thinking of things I could do for the sisters I visit, I wanted to focus around something the family could do together during family home evening.
I found this recipe for Chocolate Cookies in a Jar and thought it would be a perfect way for you to take a treat that the family can make together without too much prep. Besides, who doesn't love a yummy treat?!?!
I also found these cute little tags from Summertime Design and added the info I wanted on them. One is the cookie recipe (what they need to do with the mix) and the other one has a quote from the lesson. (You can download and print them by clicking on the words above. I made them so you can print them on 4×6 photo paper or you could print 2 to a regular sheet of paper.)
So here is the recipe for the cookies:
Ingredients1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1/4 cup cocoa 1/2 cup chopped pecans 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a 1 quart wide mouth canning jar, layer dark brown sugar, white sugar, cocoa, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips. Pack everything down firmly before you add flour mixture, it will be a snug fit.
- Attach a tag with the instructions.
I went to my local thrift store and bought some cute jars, not cause I'm cheap but I am trying to be more green. 🙂 I layered in all my ingredients (minus the nuts, cause ya never know if someone is allergic). Then I printed off my cute tags and put them on there with some fun ribbon. I sure think my ladies will enjoy these. I know I can't wait to give them out!
I also wanted to list a few other sites that have fun ideas for Visiting Teaching just to keep everyone motivated:

Forty-four states currently use a direct primary election. Five of the remaining six use a convention but also include an alternative way to the primary ballot. Utah can no longer remain the lone outlier and should instead adopt a system that allows any candidate who can organize a petition to be placed on the primary ballot by securing the signatures of 2 percent of the number of voters who cast ballots in the last election for that office.
Republican candidates running for governor, for example, would be able to access the primary ballot by the current system of securing 40 percent of the delegate vote at convention, but they also could get the signatures of 13,000 registered members of their party. Those candidates will then be judged by all voters rather than the few who attend a nominating convention. In our current system, approximately 3,500 Republican delegates attend the state political convention. Because of the strong Republican majority in Utah, our governor could effectively be elected by fewer people than those who elect student body presidents at Utah's larger high schools.
A group of people in both political parties will be intensely unhappy with this proposal. They understand the system and have learned to use it as a way to exercise extensive influence over the outcome of elections. In fact, they will argue the system is best controlled by people like them who care enough to show up at caucus meetings.
But Utah's changing demographics and busy lifestyles have created a new reality. Our system of government should enable participation, not restrict, much less cap, it. It is a lesson of history that when political participation drops, the process begins to polarize and produces misguided public policies. The Count My Vote Coalition believes the state Legislature should pass legislation modernizing our system and adding an alternative path to the primary ballot as a first important step. If they act this year, a new and improved system could be in place for the 2014 election.
If the Legislature is unwilling to act, there is one more alternative: a citizens' initiative. It is not a desirable way to make law — unless there is no other option. However, if elected officials refuse to act, it is one tool that remains.

I thought the Drive belt tenaioner should have been able to give me some more room to place the new belt on. The new belt shows LINES on the smooth side. It looks like it is being worn along the ribs. Is this possible? What needs to be replaced to fix the porblem THANK YOU

My question is my husband watches other girls get off on cam. I don't like it and he has been told but he still does it. He doesn't seem interested in me until after he has watched them. He pays no attention to me and when he is in the mood it's like after he's watched the other girls and I feel like I have to give it to him because I feel I have to. I guess it's fear of him going out and getting it from someone in person rather then me but I am tired of feeling like I have to and I'm tired of being put on the back burner. I need help as to what to do or how to deal with this.
Porn: the eternal conversation killer.
Why do men freeze up when you ask them about watching porn movies?
My breasts failed his sexual fantasy.
My boyfriend and I are both 18 years old. We've been going out for almost 8 months now. We don't have sex, but we still fool around a lot. My boyfriend used to watch a lot of porn, so he has some really crazy ideas sometimes. I don't mind them and find most of them really interesting. The other night we decided to try when a guy places a penis between your breasts and thrusts until ejaculating. I insisted we didn't because of one problem- I'm a 32 A. Now keep in mind that I'm content with my breast size. However, I used to think it was abnormal to be so small since all the girls in my family are at least a B. Most are at least a C. So this moment really frustrated me and even provoked me to feel insecure about my breast size.....again. Of course our adventure failed because I just don't have enough cleavage to hold him in place.
My boyfriend loves me very much, we both plan to spend our lives together, and we lovingly accept each other for who we are. But I know he was dissapointed and that really made an effect on me. Even though he still loves me, it hurts to be unable to satisfy a fantasy.
Can you have sex with someone when they're asleep?
I saw a porn movie the other day where this guy was doing his girlfriend while she was sleeping. Is that really possible?
Are my fantasies normal?
Hi my name is Amy and I'm 21. When I masturbate I like to watch lesbian porn. I'm straight and everything it just turns me on. Is this normal? When I watch straight porn I don't get aroused. So please help!
Big questions about gender identity, sexual orientation and sexual fantasy
(Firstly, let me compliment you on your wonderful site: though most people in my life are quite open and accepting, I have NEVER talked to anyone about sex or sexuality--except for the few conversations I've initiated. Information that is accurate, candid, and not colored with shame or guilt is completely refreshing.)
I'm 18, and have never had anything approaching sex--I've never even dated. I am a late-to-mature sort of person anyway, and though I have researched and read up on sexuality (like I do for, er, everything), I'm not overtly sexual or want to be at this point in my life. Plus, from the moment I learned what the word meant, I have identified as a lesbian: so the dating pool ain't big in high school.
Blow jobs, positions, and porn...oh my!
Hey. I have a question I want to be answered if you can! Well, I'm most likely going to get my first blow job sometime soon. I wanted to know when I ejaculate, should I tell the girl or should I just do it while she's giving me it, or what should I do? Watching porn doesn't answer my questions. And when having sex, what is the normal position in which most people start, so I don't embarrass myself. Thanks a lot!
Best place to ejaculate?
Me and my girlfriend have been going out for a few months and are thinking of having sex, but we both know it's going to be a while still because we're both too young.
But when the time comes I was wondering, if I want to withdraw before I orgasm, where should I ejaculate, that is if I'm not wearing a condom, which I'll probably be wearing anyways! But like I said if not where would be the best place? I know that in porn movies it's always on the face but I think that would be weird?

""DOORWAY TO HUNDRED ISLANDS"" Lucap by limledi
Lucap Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 24 photos
Lucap is a relatively small place on the Lingayen Gulf. It is the starting point for the Hundred Islands National Park. Lots of local tourists come here during Easter week and the hotels can be booked out. There is not much happening here for night owls, as the few restaurants close at 10pm.
Entertainment in nearby Alaminos is limited to bowling and discos. On Sunday there are cockfights a little outside of town. You can do trips from Alaminos to Agno, Sabangan Beach, with its Umbrella Rocks, or Bani, where there is a subterranean river in the Nalsoc Caves.
The Hundred Islands are not palm-fringed dream islands, but coral formations of varying sizes with scrub and occasionally small, white beaches. They are of limited appeal for snorkelling as the water is not always crystal clear, often obscuring the reputedly colourful underwater world, which has also been damaged by the long-standing use of dynamite for fishing.
Three most frequented islands are Quezon Island, Children's Island and Governor's Island. These are developed islands.
- Pros:Affordable Getaway.
- Cons:Very Basic Accomodation.
- In a nutshell:One of the Top Philippine Travel Destination!

Depart Ottawa for Iqaluit in the morning. Change planes in Iqaluit, departing to continue onto Pond Inlet. Upon landing at Pond Inlet, meet your local coordinator and transfer to a comfortable hotel. During dinner, receive a briefing and gear check. The evening is yours to relax, enjoy and explore Pond Inlet and the not too distant mountains of Bylot Island under the midnight sun.
After breakfast, meet your guides on the beach (yes, there are sand beaches in the Arctic!) and depart for southeast Bylot Island and the floe-edge where ice meets open water. Travel Inuit style by qamutik (kam-oo-tik - a traditional Inuit sled) and snowmobile across the sea-ice to southeast Bylot Island. This journey of 3-6 hours may include tea stops at historic grave sites, hanging glaciers, hunting cabins, and an abandoned whaling station. In the late afternoon arrive at base camp, set up just back from the ice edge (conditions permitting).
Revel in some of the best diving you'll ever experience. Following a program of progressive dives, enjoy new experiences every day as you become more comfortable with this unique underwater environment. Explore the Arctic sea floor and discover urchins, starfish, and glittering jellyfish. Witness the surreal world of blue and turquoise juxtaposed with the black depths below. This is a photographer's paradise.
Above the water and on land, experience other spectacular scenes and exciting adventures. Expect to see icebergs, 'bergy-bits', and drifting pack ice with playful seals poking their heads up out of the water to look directly at you. On the floe-edge, the likelihood is high that you will see narwhals, bowhead whales, polar bears on the prowl for seals sunning themselves, and possibly walrus and beluga whales.
Bylot Island's uplands are home to Arctic foxes and hares, weasels, collared lemmings, snowy owls, rough-legged hawks, and gyrfalcons. Migratory birds can also be seen in abundance. Pure white ivory gulls, gaudy king eider ducks, low flying northern fulmars, thick-billed murres, kittiwakes, and greater snow geese (kanguq) are just a few of the bird species known to frequent the area. Track land mammals, visit ancient Thule sites, learn about the history of the area, and enjoy unhurried observation and photography.
After breakfast, break camp and reload the qamutiks for your return journey to Pond Inlet. Stop at a 100 meter stepped waterfall for tea made with the glacier run off. Once again cross about 90km of sea ice by snowmobile, led by your Inuit guides.
If you purchased the flight package from Ottawa to Pond Inlet and back, transfer to the airport for the flight to Iqaluit, where you spend the night at a hotel. The accommodation in Iqaluit is included in the trip package price.
After an early breakfast, transfer to the Iqaluit Airport for your morning flight to Ottawa.
Please add 5% sales tax from Pond Inlet.

Resource letter CPPPT-1: Critical point phenomena and phase transitions69(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1333102View Description Hide Description
This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on critical point phenomena and phase transitions. Journal articles and books are cited for the following topics: continuous phase transitions,critical points,model systems with special attention to the Ising model and the Kosterlitz–Thouless transition, mean-fieldtheory,computer simulation methods, scaling, universality, and the renormalization group.
EPR test with photons and kaons: Analogies69(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1326080View Description Hide Description
We present a unified formalism describing the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen test using spin particles, photons, and kaons. This facilitates the comparison with existing experiments using photons and kaons. It underlines the similarities between birefringence and polarization-dependent losses that affect experiments using optical fibers and mixing and decay that are intrinsic to the kaons. We also discuss the limitation these two characteristics impose on the testing of Bell's inequality.
Beth's experiment using optical tweezers69(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1309520View Description Hide Description
We show how a student may construct simple and versatile optical tweezers to manipulate micron-sized particles. The tweezers apparatus is used to set birefringent calcite particles into rotation using circularly polarized light. This demonstrates the mechanical transfer of the angular momentum associated with circularly polarized light from the laser beam to the trapped particle. This offers the student a method for performing Beth's experiment qualitatively in the undergraduate laboratory.
Emil Wiechert (1861–1928): Esteemed seismologist, forgotten physicist69(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1323962View Description Hide Description
Emil Wiechert was well known during his lifetime as Professor of Geophysics at the Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen and Director of the Geophysical Institute there. He made many significant contributions to geophysics and seismology, and is highly respected by present-day geophysicists for his research and organizational contributions to the development of geophysics and seismology as major scientific disciplines. On the other hand, his contributions to fundamental physics—cathode rays, the discovery of the electron, the Liénard–Wiechert potentials, his electron theory—are unknown to many physicists today. This article presents Wiechert's life, achievements in physics, and relationship to well-known physicists like Arnold Sommerfeld, Hendrik Lorentz, and Woldemar Voigt, to enable contemporary physicists to know better Wiechert's important contributions to pure physics, and to appreciate more fully his role in the history of physics.
Teaching antenna radiation from a time-domain perspective69(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1320439View Description Hide Description
Radiation from a simple wire antenna, such as a dipole, is a topic discussed in many courses on electromagnetism. These discussions are almost always restricted to harmonic time dependence. A time-harmonic current distribution is assumed on the wire, and the time-harmonic radiated field is determined. The purpose of this paper is to show that simple wire antennas with a general excitation, e.g., a pulse in time, can be analyzed easily using approximations no worse than those used with time-harmonic excitation, viz. an assumed current distribution. Expressions are obtained for the electromagnetic field of the current that apply at any point in space (in the near zone as well as in the far zone). The analysis in the time domain provides physical understanding not readily available from the time-harmonic analysis. In addition, an interesting analogy can be drawn between the radiation from these antennas when excited by a short pulse of current and the radiation from a moving point charge.
Listening to the coefficient of restitution - revisited69(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1326077View Description Hide Description
We present a new method for measuring the coefficient of restitution between a steel ball and a flat, smooth surface, based on the recording of sound files with a PC. We demonstrate how a simple and straightforward analysis of the sound files yields the coefficient of restitution as a function of velocity. The time resolution of many PC sound cards allows us to measure the collision time and hence to estimate the average impulsive force and the stress exerted on the surface. This in turn provides a basis for a discussion of energy loss mechanisms.
A link between the bounds on relativistic velocities and areas of hyperbolic triangles69(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1323963View Description Hide Description
In this paper we show the mathematical equivalence between two well-known facts: the existence of an upper bound for the area in Lobachevskian geometry and the existence of a limit for relativistic velocities. The key point is that the space of relativistic velocities can be interpreted as a Lobachevskian space.
Acoustic quality factor and energy losses in cylindrical pipes69(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1308264View Description Hide Description
The quality factor Q of a damped oscillator equals 2π times the ratio of stored energy to the energy dissipated per cycle. This makes Q a sensitive probe of energy losses. Using modest equipment, we measured the acoustical Q for a set of cylindrical pipes having the same resonant frequency, but different diameters D. The graph of Q vs D could be well fitted with two parameters, one of which corresponds to energy loss via radiation from the ends of the pipe, and the other to thermal and viscous losses very close to the pipe wall. The wall loss parameter was quite constant no matter where the pipes were located, but the radiative loss parameter varied significantly with location inside a room, suggesting that room reflections affected the sound radiated from the pipe. This study offers valuable insights at no great expense, and could be the basis of an upper-division undergraduatelaboratory experiment.
Navigation in curved space–time69(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1326078View Description Hide Description
A covariant and invariant theory of navigation in curved space–time with respect to electromagnetic beacons is written in terms of J. L. Synge's two-point invariant world function. Explicit equations are given for navigation in space–time in the vicinity of the Earth in Schwarzschild coordinates and in rotating coordinates. The restricted problem of determining an observer's coordinate time when his or her spatial position is known is also considered.
Self-adjoint extensions of operators and the teaching of quantum mechanics69(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1328351View Description Hide Description
For the example of the infinite well potential, we point out some paradoxes which are solved by a careful analysis of what is a truly self-adjoint operator. We then describe the self-adjoint extensions and their spectra for the momentum and the Hamiltonian operators in different settings. Additional physical requirements such as parity, time reversal, and positivity are used to restrict the large class of self-adjoint extensions of the Hamiltonian.

Aban Emerging From the Depths
It seems to be the end of a long-standing nightmare for Aban Offshore Ltd as it finally exited its equity interest in joint venture -- Venture Drilling AS -- which has been in murky waters since mid-2008, when the only ship used for drilling called Deep Venture that it chartered from a Russian enterprise ran into litigation.
Besides its initial investment, Aban suffered the cost of keeping the rig idle through the period of litigation. The joint venture led to a loss of 300 million rupees and 430 million rupees during the September and December quarters of fiscal 2011, respectively.
Aban's settlement was welcomed by the Street, as it came earlier than expected. Shares of Aban closed about 1.7% higher on Tuesday. More importantly, it brings cash inflow of around $69 million, based on its share of the total compensation).
This would accelerate the deleveraging story for Aban, which has been reeling under a huge debt burden for a couple of years, and a setback for the country's largest private sector offshore drilling services firm.
Net debt at the end of fiscal 2011 would be around 120 billion rupees, which entails a debt-to-equity ratio of around 5.5. Aban now carries 18 vessels, all of which are operational with cash flows to repay debt.
The firm had restructured its debt earlier, with longer duration borrowings that allowed for easier payment terms. Recently, it exercised the call option on a $95 million bond that was due to mature only a year from now, which will save interest costs.
Analysts expect operating profit margin during fiscal 2011 to improve by about 2.5 percentage points over the previous year. But markets look at forward earnings outlook and several concerns remain.
A few of its key contracts are expected to end during fiscal 2012, which analysts say could be renewed or replaced by lower day rates. For example, Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd has reportedly floated tenders for Aban's rigs, which come off contract over the next couple of months.
Fiscal 2011 was a tough year for Aban. In addition to its problems, the poor outlook for the sector led to a 48% decline in its share price since April.
It's possible, however, that the expected uptrend in oil, and Aban's steering out of troubled waters could result in an upside for the battered stock.

THE PRESIDENT'S TRIAL; From the Prosecution: 'The Rule of Law Should Apply to Everyone'
Published: February 9, 1999
(Page 7 of 8)
Only when it gets to be constitutionally out of bounds, only when it gets to be so egregious that you can't look your children in the eye and explain what happened here in terms of the law -- we can all explain human failings, but we've got a real mixed message going on, and it needs to be straightened out quickly.
If you could bring the founding fathers back, as everybody suggested, the first debate would -- could we call them as a witness? There would be some people objecting to that. Live or dead, it's been hard to get a witness.
And I guarantee you -- you know what I think they would tell us? ''What's a poll?'' They would be instructive, but we can't summon them back.
But you know what I really think they would tell us? ''We started this thing; it's up to you all to carry it on.'' And it is, and they would be right. . . .
And let me tell you where it all comes down, to me. If you can go back and explain to your children and your constituents how you can be truthful and misleading at the same time, good luck. That's the legacy Bill Clinton has left all of us, if we keep him in office. The idea that ''I was truthful, but misleading'' -- that scenario focuses around whether or not one type of sex occurred versus the other type of sex. . . .
That Jan. 21 when the cover story -- when the story broke -- that she may have been telling what went on and the President was faced with the idea that the knowledge of the relationship was out in the public forum, what did he do then?
There was no more nice jobs using a good friend. There was no more ''Let's see if we can hide the gifts and play 'hide the ball.' '' You know what happened then? He turned on her. It's not my favorite part of the case. It's the most disgusting part of the case. It's the part of the case that history will judge.
The crimes change; they become more ominous because the character traits become more ominous. The young lady that was the stalker, that was sex-obsessed, that wore her skirts too tight, that young lady was being talked about openly in public. That young lady was being lied about in a Federal grand jury, and the truth is, that young lady fell in love with him and probably to this day, the 24- or -5-year-old young girl doesn't believe it or want to believe what was going to come her way. . . .
Henry J. Hyde
Republican of Illinois
I want to compliment the President's counsel. They have conducted themselves in the most professional way. They have made the most of a poor case, in my opinion. There is an old Italian saying, and it has nothing to do with the lawyers, but to the case. It says: you may dress the shepherd in silk; he will still smell of the goat. But all of you are great lawyers and it's been an adventure being with you. . . .
As for the House managers, I want to tell you and our extraordinary staff how proud I am of your service. For myself, I cannot find the words to adequately express how I feel. I must use the inaudible language of the heart. I've gone through it all by your side: the media condemnations, the patronizing editorials, the hate mail, the insults hurled in public, the attempts at intimidation, the death threats and even the disapproval of our colleagues, which cuts the worst. You know, all a congressman ever gets to take with him when he leaves this building is the esteem of his colleagues and his constituents. We've risked that for a principle and for our duty as we've seen it. . . .
But our most formidable opponent has not been opposing counsel, nor any political party; it's been cynicism, the widespread conviction that all politics and all politicians are by definition corrupt and venal. That cynicism is an acid eating away at the vital organs of American public life. It is a clear and present danger because it blinds us to the nobility and the fragility of being a self-governing people.
One of the several questions that needs answer is whether your vote on conviction lessens or enlarges that cynicism. Nothing begets cynicism like the double standard -- one rule for the popular and the powerful, and another for the rest of us.
One of the most interesting things in this trial was the testimony of the President's good friend, the former Senator from Arkansas. He did his persuasive best to maintain the confusion that this is all about sex. . . .
One phrase you have not heard the defense pronounce is the ''sanctity of the oath.'' But this case deeply involves the efficacy, the meaning and the enforceability of the oath. Ms. Seligman last Saturday said we ''want to win too badly.'' This surprised me because none of the managers has committed perjury nor obstructed justice, nor claimed false privileges; none has hidden evidence under anyone's bed, nor encouraged false testimony before the grand jury. That's what you do if you want to win too badly. . . .
I am still dumbfounded about the drafts of the censures that are circulating. We aren't half as tough on the President in our impeachment articles as this draft is that was printed in The New York Times: ''An inappropriate relationship with a subordinate employee in the White House, which was shameless, reckless and indefensible.''

I fell in love with these shoes when I saw them online, they are beautiful and stylish so I decided to order them. I was so excited when they arrived but was disappointed after trying them on. The size is fine but they are too narrow where the MK logo is in the front of the shoe. Please note that I do have wide feet. Otherwise I would give this shoe a 5/5.

Chrome Clone Alpha on Linux
Iron, a privacy clone of the Chrome Google browser, is now released in its first test version on Linux.
Iron is based on Chrome code, but unlike the Google browser, personal data is better protected. It won't create unique user IDs and doesn't send address lists to Google. The SRWare software firm first released the clone in September 2008 under BSD license, originally for Windows. The SRWare project download page now includes an alpha version for Linux.
The update notice in the SRWare forums says, "The download now contains Iron for Linux 3.0.197 and introduces some improvements like a nearly complete options dialog and Flash support. To enable Flash you have to start Iron for Linux with --enable-plugins as a parameter." Developers thoughtfully warn, however, that some instabilities still exist. The stable Windows version of 3.0.197, based on Chromium 3, was announced August 8.

Autorunning a batch file on download
View Single Post
Email Reported As Spam
You know transfrering/distributing .bat files over the internet is illegal. So I would find a converter and convert your .bat file to a .exe file. .exe files are much easier to set as a auto-run plus they're totally legal as far as I'm concerened...
An auto-run at login is different.
You have to reun the .bat file with a code that is like,
move/copy C:\Your file.bat C:\Documents and Settings\my user (or all users)\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Once you run this it will put your .bat in the starup folder and It *should* run on startup!
Hope this helps!

Rates on tap for hearing
With water wells now pumping an average of 16 hours a day, officials for the town of Tunica are putting the next step in the people's hands. The Mayor and Board of Alderman will host a public hearing on town water and sewer services on Thursday, June 17.
During the hearing, officials will seek input from the public on proposed changes to residential and commercial water and sewer rates. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in the board room at town hall.
In previous meetings, the board has discussed tailoring rates in line with what the Tunica County Utility District charges. Rates range from $10 to $12 for residential water and sewer services. Commercial customers may pay between $12 and $300 for water and sewer.

If you love your electric guitar, then you know that the instrument's potential is nearly limitless. This is especially true when you pair it with the perfect amplifiers and effects. The right amp, paired with the right effects, can take your sound from run of the mill, to out of this world in no time. Some of our most popular brands in amplifiers and effects are Fender, Marshall, Vox, Digitech, Boss, Line 6, and much more.
Think about some of your favorite guitar riffs of all time. That searing, electrifying fret work stays with you long after the song is over. The odds are that these riffs were brought to life by an amp and an effects pedal. So if you're looking to recreate your favorites or unleash some legendary riffs of your own, you've come to the right place.
First, you're going to need the right amp for the job. Some of the more popular options available here include the Cougar 15 15W Class A Tube Guitar Combo Amp from Bad Cat, the '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb 22W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp with Celestion G12V-70 Speaker from Fender, and the Slash Signature 5W 1x12 Guitar Tube Combo from Marshall. Of course, these are only a small sample of the dozens of amps available here, so take a look around for the one that is best suited to your needs.
Once you find the perfect amp, you'll want to pair it with the perfect effects pedal. This, of course, begs the question, which effects pedal is "the perfect" one? Well, there's honestly no right answer to that question. It might be one pedal, it might be a combination of pedals; it simply comes down to which pedals get the job done for you. Some of the more popular effects available here include the B9 Organ Machine Guitar Effects Pedal from Electro-Harmonix, which turns your guitar into a convincing, full-body electric organ; the Uberschall Distortion/Boost Guitar Effects Pedal from Bogner, which unleashes some seriously legendary high-gain sound you'll crave; and the MT-BB Buzz Boy Power Fuzz Guitar Effects Pedal from Modtone, which offers some maniacal fuzz that can deliver unexpected results.
In the end, as stated earlier, the right amplifiers and effects for you will end up being a matter of personal preference. One thing is for sure, once you find the right combination for you, you're going to fall in love with your thrilling new tones and sound

San Diego losing year-round cruise ship
Carnival shifts home port to Alabama for 2,052-passenger Elation
The schedule for the next fiscal year has yet to be finalized, Vandergaw said.
Given the port's dogged efforts to attract new cruise lines, it's a shame to have lost the Elation, said Joe Terzi, president of the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau.
"When passengers get off the ships, they're down in the Gaslamp, in the restaurants, Horton Plaza mall. It's a good economic engine," Terzi said. "It just breathes more life into the waterfront and brings more businesses, so it's something we don't want to see disappear from San Diego."
That isn't about to happen, said Vandergaw, who is hoping a new $28 million cruise ship terminal now under construction at the Broadway Pier will add some bayside appeal for San Diego.
It will allow one cruise ship to be berthed there, but it will be a far-better space for accommodating cruise lines and their passengers, she said. Vandergaw's hope is that once the building is completed by the end of next year, the Port District would be able to start work on upgrading the much-larger B Street Pier, though a plan has not been approved nor has financing been lined up, she said.
The Port District earlier this year was courting the Walt Disney Co. in hopes of persuading it to bring its planned West Coast cruise operations to San Diego. The Disney Cruise Line ultimately opted for the Los Angeles area.
"You have to have facilities that meet the cruise lines' standards, and the lines have said we don't meet their standards," Vandergaw said. "Carnival loaned us $12 million to improve our facilities to meet their standards, and we still have a ways to go.
"Losing this business (from Carnival), I think, is cyclical, and it happens when economies contract. I'm confident we'll have the business back."

We normally buy one AP and one 21 day ticket (we live in the UK). Only a couple of times have we both had APs and that was because we went twice within 12 months.
An ordinary AP does not include the water parks, you will have to pay to go into these - it doesn't bother us as we don't use them.
The reason why we only have one is that we can get all the benefits of being an AP holder, especially the free parking as we stay offsite and at $14 a day it soon adds up.
If you are going to time your holiday so that you go this year and then next year you go a few weeks earlier then you really save
I think it depends on how many days you will be visiting the parks whether or not it is worth it for you though
10% discounts at stores throughout WDW
10-20% discounts for food throughout WDW
Free Parking
Access to special merchandise (example: Star Tours t-shirts and pins designed for passholders only for Star Tours Weekends)
Discounts on behind the scenes tours
15% off Dolphin encounter at Nemo & Friends
Discounts off spa treatments
plus many more........
We bought Florida Resident annual passes last July. We have gone to the parks in July, October, November, December, February, this month and again next month. We have determined we have averaged a cost of about $8 a day to get into the parks over this time.
WDW = 39 visits since 1979
DCL = 3 cruises since 2002

The 20% Tables in Wonderland Discount my make it worth it alone with 14 days at WDW. Depending how you eat (and drink) that may be worth it.
We are going for 18 nights and will visit a park most of those days. I buy one basic annual pass for myself as I don't do the waterparks and DH and the kids have 21 day tickets which include the waterparks and a round of golf at Oak Trail which DH and DS take advantage of.
This allows me to buy the TIW card for $75 to get 20% off most onsite restaurants and 10% off in some shops.
Biggest advantage to me is it makes me smile for the year every time I open my wallet and see it
...but I do love tables in wonderland, discount at the downtown disney cinema, discount at crazy golf and so on

Don't forget there are also opportunities to book your resort stay with an Annual Pass discount. They vary as to which hotel they apply, and how much off, but they can be a substantial savings. That combined with the food discount can more than make up for the silly DDP.
If you have an annual pass reservation you can now add the Disney Dining Plan and it gives AP 10% off 70 locations.
