text: I would be *very* careful to go out and say what you did when the majority of non ericsson people on this list have learnt Erlang on their own, and are developing systems without the proper mentorship of people who have used Erlang on a large scale. OTP was built based on many years of project experiences, feedback from users, and extensive prototyping. The design principles which came out of it fill a gap which exists in pure Erlang. The best example that comes to my mind is people asking "How can I apply OO design" in Erlang? The reason is that they are trying to fill in this gap. The gap covers * Structuring programs & general SW architecture issues * Reusability * Maintenance * Fault Tolerance * Design Patterns I would agree that there are some pretty ugly inconsistencies and constructs in some of the principles. But they are minor, and often just syntactical compared to the advantages you get from using them. I work with people who have learnt Erlang on their own, with out the proper mentorship, on a daily basis. They do not have the time to develop their own theories on how to structure and develop large scale SW development using Erlang. There is no need for them to reinvent the wheel. They need to get products out, and they need to get them out as fast as possible. Using OTP and the libraries' well tested code is today the only way to do it efficiently. You guys developed OTP. Developed Erlang. Have massive experience and knowledge and know from the start what is right, what is wrong, alongside all the special cases to handle. What you do not seem to understand is that that is not the case out there. The 50% code reduction we usually achieve when migrating a non OTP system to OTP says it all. And that covers just the code size, not the added functionality.

What's the Deal with Fruit and Vegetable Wash?
While they are generally considered safe, the actual effectiveness of these washes is debated. Even if they remove surface residues, one can't be sure that all pesticides have been eliminated. And some evidence suggests water is actually good enough. In a study of three commercial washes, University of Maine researchers found that distilled water was equally if not more effective in removing microbes such as bacteria and mold. Another study at Tennessee State University also found that water worked as well as the vegetable wash tested.
And yet, we know that produce washes give some people peace of mind. If this is the case in your household, you don't need to shell out a ton of money for commercial products. You can make your own spray using ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. A solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can dissolve residues and kill bacteria; just spray it on, rub, and rinse with water. For other simple solutions, see Re-Nest's How To: Make Your Own Fruit and Vegetable Wash.

What tricks do you use for the dynamic range?
what do you mean by "dynamic range" ?
DR is the bandwidth of shadows and highlights. On such a bright day a correct exposure on the sky will thrown everything else in darkness. And vice versa of course, exposing the shadows correctly will blow the highlights (the sky).

If you have already been using Atlassian JIRA, and are now configuring JIRA as a Crowd application, you will probably want to import your existing JIRA users and groups into a Crowd directory.
It is recommended that you import your JIRA users into an Internal Directory that has its 'Password Encryption' set to 'ATLASSIAN-SECURITY'. Otherwise, users' passwords will not be copied across to Crowd.
To import users and groups from Atlassian JIRA into a Crowd directory,
- Ensure that the database drivers for the JIRA database are on Crowd's classpath. To do this, simply copy the JDBC driver jar for your particular JIRA database across to
apache-tomcat/common/libin your Crowd installation directory. Then restart Crowd.
- Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
- Click the 'Users' link in the top navigation bar.
- This will display the User Browser. Click the 'Import Users' link.
- This will display the 'Import Type' screen. Click the 'Atlassian Importer' button.
- This will display the 'Options' screen. Complete the fields as follows:
- 'Atlassian Product' — Select 'JIRA'.
- 'Directory' — Select the directory that you have created for your JIRA users.
- 'Import Passwords' — Select this checkbox if you wish to import the users' passwords from JIRA. You can only import passwords if the Crowd directory is using the 'Atlassian SHA1' encryption method.
- 'Product Database URL' — Type the URL of your JIRA instance's database. The exact syntax will depend on which database you are using; see Connecting JIRA to a Database in the JIRA Installation Guide.
- 'Database Driver' — Type the name of your JIRA instance's database JDBC driver, e.g.
For MySQL, type com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
For PostgreSQL type org.postgresql.Driver
- For Oracle type oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
- For MS SQL Server type net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
- For HSQLDB type org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
- 'Username' — Type the username of the database user that Crowd will use to log in to your JIRA instance's database.
- 'Password' — Type the password of the database user Crowd will use to log in to your JIRA instance's database.
The import process will log in to the database, not into JIRA.
- Click the 'Continue' button to import the users from your JIRA instance into your Crowd directory.
- The 'Results' screen will be displayed, showing how many users and groups have been imported into your Crowd directory.
- Click the 'Users' button to view and manage the imported users and groups via the Crowd Administration Console (assuming the directory's permissions allow this).
Screenshot: 'Import JIRA Users'

Hi All,
If you are facing this problem while importing users:
org.springframework.jdbc.BadSqlGrammarException: StatementCallback; bad SQL grammar [SELECT id, directory_name FROM CWD_DIRECTORY WHERE directory_type = 'INTERNAL']; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: Table 'jira4.CWD_DIRECTORY' doesn't exist at org.springframework.jdbc.support.SQLErrorCodeSQLExceptionTranslator.doTranslate(SQLErrorCodeSQLExceptionTranslator.java:220) at org.springframework.jdbc.support.AbstractFallbackSQLExceptionTranslator.translate(AbstractFallbackSQLExceptionTranslator.java:72) at org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate.execute(JdbcTemplate.java:407)
This is a known bug, please apply the patch to solve this problem. This bug is going to be fixed on Crowd version 2.2.7, 2.3.
If you are seeing this error message from the log file when importing the users and connecting to MS SQL server:
org.springframework.jdbc.BadSqlGrammarException: StatementCallback; bad SQL grammar [SELECT groupname from groupbase order by groupname]; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: Invalid object name 'groupbase'.
at org.springframework.jdbc.support.SQLErrorCodeSQLExceptionTranslator.doTranslate(SQLErrorCodeSQLExceptionTranslator.java:220)
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Invalid object name 'groupbase'.
at net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.SQLDiagnostic.addDiagnostic(SQLDiagnostic.java:368)
at net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.TdsCore.tdsErrorToken(TdsCore.java:2820)
This is a bug reported here:
A workaround is to:
- create a backup of your JIRA DB and restore it into dbo schema (another DB)
- connect Crowd to this new DB during the import
I worked around this by changing the default schema of the login account JIRA uses to connect to the database. See also:
It is recommended that you import your JIRA users into an Internal Directory that has its 'Password Encryption' set to 'ATLASSIAN-SHA1'. Otherwise, users' passwords will not be copied across to Crowd.
Hi, can you update this to option ATLASSIAN-SECURITY instead, to prevent misunderstandings?
Thanks for the heads up; I've updated the page.
If Postgresql is Atlassian's favourite, then why is MySQL the default?
While importing the users from JIRA to crowd i am getting the below error:
type Exception report
message com.atlassian.crowd.console.action.dataimport.AtlassianImporter.checkAdditionalParamsRequired()
description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
I have the data stored in a MS SQL database, also I have checked the schema too. Can someone, kindly help me out with this ?

Nu View ordered my windows April 10, 2006. But, because payment for the windows was not received by Schuco, these windows were not manufactured.
On May 19, 2006, I was given an install date of July 5, 2006. July 5th came and went with no communication from Nu View.
I did a lot of research on the windows and Nu View. I could not find anything that would make me suspect this could happen. Nu View had dotted all the i's and crossed all their t's.
Bottom line is I will probably never see my money again and Nu View was an exclusive dealer of Schuco windows and as such, used that to their advantage!
Unfortunately, I am not alone. Search the internet to see Nu View's shoddy business practices and work.

SUNY Upstate seeks women for national study on breast cancer detection
Dense breast tissue can make it difficult to detect breast cancer through mammography in premenopausal women. If a six-month use of a topical gel derived from tamoxifen can decrease tissue density, will the result prove effective in making mammography a better breast cancer screening tool?
SUNY Upstate Medical University is one of four sites nationwide involved in a clinical trial to test this premise. The trial, sponsored by Besins International U.S. Inc., is also being conducted at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, the New Mexico Clinical Research & Osteoporosis Center in Albuquerque and Centennial Medical Center – Women's Hospital in Nashville.
According to SUNY Upstate's principal investigator, Patricia Numann, M.D., mammography currently detects only about 50 percent of breast cancer in women who have very dense breast tissue. Dense breast tissue is not to be confused with fibrocystic or "lumpy breasts," defined as benign cysts in the breast.
"Approximately one-third of breast cancer occurs in premenopausal women. This group is known to have denser breasts than older women for reasons not yet scientifically proven. Dense breast tissue and cancer tumors mimic each other by both appearing as white masses in mammograms making the mammogram difficult to read," Numann said.
The study hopes to prove that by reducing the density of breast tissue and thereby making mammograms easier to read, the chances of developing breast cancer may be lessened and cancer that does occur may be detected earlier.
Numann is joined in the study by Linda Ellinwood, R.N., who serves as study coordinator. According to Ellinwood, Tamorex is a topical gel derived from the breast cancer prevention drug tamoxifen. The hormone estrogen is known to increase breast density and tamoxifen is known to block estrogen.
"The gel is absorbed through the skin and into the breast tissue," Ellinwood said. "Previous studies suggest that very little Tamorex gel enters the bloodstream, thus avoiding many of the usual side effects known to be associated with Tamoxifen."
In this double blind placebo study, participants receive either the Tamorex medicated gel or a gel containing no medication. They must apply the gel directly to the surface of their breasts once daily for a period of six months and keep a daily journal. Throughout the six months, the participants must make a total of six office visits to University Hospital's Breast Care Center, located at 90 Presidential Plaza. They receive mammograms in the fourth and six month of participation, physician visits, a pap smear at the screening (unless one was taken within the six months of screening) and blood work at no cost.
The criteria to participate includes women who are between the ages of 18 and 45, have regular menstrual cycles, are not pregnant or breast-feeding, and no history of breast cancer. A family history of breast cancer is not a criteria for participation but may serve as an incentive for women to join the study.
To learn more about the study and/or to discuss eligibility, contact Linda Ellinwood at 315-464-2197.

Just thought I'd show you something I've been worked on a little while ago and will probably be developing into a proper brickflick once I complete my current project. As the imaginative title cunningly suggests this is a gladiator movie. My original plan was that it would take place in a fantasy/more medieval setting, as when I filmed this a few months back the prospect of having Roman soldiers dotted around was non-existant! However, obviously we now do have Roman soldiers - huzzar!
So below is what I filmed a while ago as an experiment to see how gladiators would look in a brickflick and thought it was about time to show people!
Warning: Alongside Lego violence, the below video also contains a random swearword in the accompanying tune - you have been warned.
(Watch on youtube for "widescreen")
All feedback much appreciated!

raising compression?
whats up guys i have a 1986 mustang gt and i am building a 5.0 engine for it i have a set of j 302 heads with a stage 3 port with a after market cam the heads are shaved down i am wondering my options for raiseing compression?
J 302?? you mean J code from a 60 model mustang?
either pistons that have less dish, no dish or pop ups will raise compression. Without changing heads, shaving the heads and zero decking the block can only give you a small increase, but make it necessary to alter the intake to fit with the changes.
Of course a turbo or supercharge will sort of raise the compression too!

so im kinda euu chubby fat lol and wondering if ill still be cute and preggo im terrifyed ill be 200 lb when i am about to pop and im short when will i show ?? im supper bloated already so i got a belly that sticks out but its like a 6 mo not a Ā3 mo lol uggg i plan on shaping up big time after baby and working out while pregnet any one in the same situation kinda before how did you deal it kinda gets me depressed
Comments (6)
My SIL is overweight and didn't show for a while. She is now 7 months pg and looks so cute. Also my MIL told me she has only gained 2 pounds. Maybe She has lost wieght while the baby has been gaining?
(o)(o) We made GOLD! BF, BW, BLW, CD, WAHM
I started this pregnancy 10 lbs up, and my last one 10 lbs up, too.┬Ā With my daughter I only gained 19 lbs max, and the docs said it was fine, baby was using my extra to grow.┬Ā Hoping to eat healthy, exercise, and convince this baby to do the same!
Wife to E, Mommy to Blueberry (deceased at 18w gestation) 7/3/08, Zoë Mae, 12/9/09, Eleanor Laine, 12/20/11
I will definitely be over 200lbs when I have this one --┬ĀI started at 170 (I'm only 5'5" so I'm chubby also), am already at 175, tho I swear 4 lbs of that is all boobs, LOL.┬Ā I get HUGE with my pregnancies, put on 50lbs (some of that is a huge fibroid that grows along with the baby and makes me look like I'm carrying twins).┬Ā It all winds up in my belly and boobs, and the comment I get from about 5 mos on is "omg, you are HUGE!".

But you know what?┬Ā I'm still cute.┬Ā Tons of cute , but cute none the less.┬Ā Nothing cuter than a pregnant belly, I don't care how big you are. :)┬Ā So enjoy whatever body shape you wind up having and carry that baby weight with pride!┬Ā Just make sure you eat small healthy snacks throughtout the day -- don't eat any "meals", just eat what you need to keep yourself well fed in small amounts all day, it's trying to eat full-sized meals that will pack on unneeded poundage.

I am overweight.┬Ā With my first one I didn't show for a while.┬Ā But once I did, I thought I looked great.┬Ā It was so nice to feel large because I was pg, not just because I was fat.┬Ā I didn't gain much weight with the first one either.┬Ā I thought I weighted less the first time I was pg than I do now, but I just pulled out my old maternity clothes and they are the same size I am in now.┬Ā I am hoping to look about the same with this baby.┬Ā :)
i'm quite overweight and i showed... to strangers it was still the "is she/isn't she?" type showing, until 7 months.. then i popped! and it was no denying!.. i even did some barebelly maternity photos that turned out great! so you can still end up being cute! and btw.. my dd was completely spread out, so even though i popped, it wasn't exactly round, and was still cute....

Second practice for this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix was littered with radio complaints about tyre graining, with the soft option particularly lambasted.
Hamilton was one of several drivers to criticise the tyres in the aftermath of the session.
"The life of the [soft] tyre, it's the worst I've ever experienced with bits flying off all over the place," Hamilton said.
"The soft is hardcore. It doesn't feel like the right tyre for this circuit. I did a couple of laps and the tyres just disintegrated."
Hamilton's former McLaren team-mate Jenson Button, who had to pit with a delaminated left-front tyre following a lock-up into the hairpin, was similarly critical.
"I think there was a lot of complaining about the tyres at the last race, but it is even more extreme here," Button said.
"The option tyre just transforms the car completely; on one lap there is just so much more grip. So it feels really good for one lap, and then it grains front and rear and you lose one second every lap.
"It's very tricky and I don't think you will see many quick laps in the race; I think we're all going to be given a time to go to and that's it."
But Pirelli motorsport chief Paul Hembery said the soft tyre was doing exactly what it was supposed to.
"If the medium did the same then I'd be concerned, but it doesn't," he said.
"It's a qualifying tyre. It'll be a bit like Melbourne I guess where the top teams are going to be forced to qualify on the softer tyre because it's such a performance advantage and within the first 10 laps they are going to have to pit.
"Some of the Q2 teams might opt to start on the medium tyre and try and gain some track position whilst the first 10 cars drop in.
"It's looking like some can be looking at a two-stop race and worst case three so pretty much in line with what we are looking for."

ATLANTA (AP) -- Atlanta police are closing some downtown streets as stormy weather moves into the city because of the possibility of falling glass and debris from tornado-damaged buildings.
Police are restricting pedestrian and vehicle access to Peachtree Street between Harris and Ellis streets, Spring Street between Marietta and Harris streets and Andrew Young International Boulevard between Peachtree Center and Williams Street.
A tornado ripped through the city's downtown Friday night, knocking out hundreds of windows, scattering debris across Atlanta's core and sending trees crashing into homes in nearby neighborhoods. At least 27 people were injured in the storm.

Sebastien Loeb continues to maintain a comfortable lead over Sebastien Ogier in the Monte Carlo Rally, as Evgeny Novikov flew on Thursday morning's snow-covered stages.
There was little to choose between Loeb's Citroen and Ogier's Volkswagen on the loop. Ogier was quickest on SS5, had a quick spin on SS6, then virtually matched Loeb on SS7.
The gap between them stands at 1m17.9s, with Loeb having built a margin on Wednesday afternoon.
But the fastest man of the morning was Qatar M-Sport Ford driver Novikov. A close second to Ogier on Labatie d'Andaure, Novikov then won the next two stages.
That brought Novikov past Jari-Matti Latvala's VW and Mikko Hirvonen's Citroen, and to within 7.6s of third-placed Citroen driver Dani Sordo.
All the Fords have been rapid in the tough conditions. Juho Hanninen challenged Latvala for sixth before a scare on SS6, while Mads Ostberg is making up time after a penalty for being late into service following electrical problems on Wednesday afternoon.

Dislocation Arrays in Germanium28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722622View Description Hide Description
Dislocation arrays have been observed in deformed germanium using a technique based on the selective etching of lithium precipitates which prefer to nucleate on or near dislocations. Evidence is presented which indicates that both internal Frank‐Read sources and surface dislocation sources are of importance in the deformation of germanium.
Theory of the Ferromagnetic Microwave Amplifier28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722623View Description Hide Description
The theory of ferromagneticmicrowave amplification is presented in detail. All three possible types of operation using, respectively, two electromagnetic cavity modes, two sample modes, and one sample and one cavity mode, are discussed. One especially simple case, that of a sphere in the first type of operation is treated separately. Thereafter all three cases are discussed in terms of scaler and vector potentials. An appendix deals with the gain‐band‐width problem and gives an expression for the equivalent ``negative Q'' of the sample.
Hillocks, Pits, and Etch Rate in Germanium Crystals28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722624View Description Hide Description
Symmetric faceted etch hillocks have been observed on certain germanium surface orientations exposed to an H2O2–HF (Superoxol) etchant. Considerations of surface curvature and etch rate lead to the conclusion that the faces bounding the hillocks must be at saddle points on an etch rate vs orientation surface. A measurement of etch rate throughout the stereographic triangle has supported this conclusion. The formation of dislocation pits and hillocks is discussed in terms of the variation of surface etch rate with orientation.
Preparation of Large‐Area p‐n Junctions in Silicon by Surface Melting28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722625View Description Hide Description
Two methods have been developed for the preparation of large‐area p‐n junctions in monocrystalline silicon by surface melting and overdoping of the molten material. In one method, direct rf power coupling is used to form a cylindrical p‐n junction in a rod of silicon. Also, radiation heating has been used to melt the surface of thin disks of silicon. The junctions can sustain a peak inverse voltage (PIV) given approximately by PIV=40ρ n or PIV=10ρ p depending on the polarity of the base material, of resistivity ρ n or ρ p . Low‐resistivity n‐type base material overdoped with aluminium forms junctions exhibiting very sharp breakdown characteristics, and PIV=40ρ n holds for material at least up to 15 ohm cm. Some results obtained by using a gas doping technique are also given.
Focusing in Collision Problems in Solids28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722626View Description Hide Description
In treating problems of sputtering and radiation damage of solids, a billiard ball model is frequently assumed. An attempt is made to indicate to what extent such a model is justified. Using this model it is noted that the lattice structure of a crystal implies a correlation between successive collisions in a damage process which can lead to the propagation of an energy pulse, or a sequence of collisions, along a close‐packed line of atoms. The rate of attenuation of these pulses is estimated for a particular case and certain implications of the effect are discussed.
Electron Multiplication Processes in High‐Voltage Electrical Discharge in Vacuum28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722627View Description Hide Description
The efficiency of a class of electron‐multiplication processes previously considered to be possible initiators of high‐voltage vacuum arcs has been studied as a function of applied voltage in the voltage range below about one hundred fifty kilovolts. This efficiency is found to be typically less than one part in ten thousand, in contrast to the unity or greater required for arc initiation by such processes. The variation of the efficiency with field is noted. The conclusion is drawn that this class of processes apparently plays no significant role in arc initiation, and the remaining possibilities are briefly discussed.
Temperature‐Dependent Equations of State of Solids28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722628View Description Hide Description
An isothermal equation of state of a solid is considered, which contains as special cases the equations of Birch, Murnaghan, Bardeen, and others. The equation is generalized to arbitrary temperature by replacing two constants of the equation by temperature‐dependent parameters, whose functional form is determined by considerations of thermodynamic consistency. The thermal properties of the solid implied by this equation of state are examined. It is shown that the generalized equation is consistent with the Mie‐Grüneisen relation for the thermal pressure of the lattice, and that the corresponding Grüneisen parameter is only slightly dependent on temperature, in general. The form of the generalized equation of state at low temperature is exhibited as an explicit function of volume and temperature for a solid whose heat capacity obeys the Debye law. A comparison with pressure‐volume data of Swenson for potassium at low temperatures shows excellent agreement of the generalized equation of state with experiment.
Surface Studies on Single‐Crystal Germanium28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722629View Description Hide Description
The condition of the surface of germanium crystals has been studied by chemical, electron microscope,electron diffraction, and other techniques after several of the standard etching procedures. The surface is often partially covered by particles believed to be germanium monoxide. An etch has been devised which gives a controlled thickness of germanium monoxide on the crystal. Another etch minimizes the oxide formation. A simple light‐scattering method for checking the surface cleanliness is described. The results of surface recombination velocity and channel effect measurements on crystals treated by these methods are described as is a method for obtaining low surface recombination on n‐type crystals.
Ionization in the Trail of High‐Velocity Pellets28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722630View Description Hide Description
Aluminum,magnesium, and lithium‐magnesium pellets were accelerated to velocities as high as 4.5 km/sec by means of an explosive. The ionization in the trails of these pellets was determined by measuring the reflection of a microwave signal from the trail. It was found that the ion density in the trail is an increasing function of the velocity and for the velocity range between 1 and 4.5 km/sec lies between 1010 and 1015 electrons per cm of path. It was observed that aluminum pellets do not produce ionization at velocities below approximately 2.9 km/sec, while magnesium leaves an ionized trail at velocities down to approximately 1.6 km/sec and lithium‐magnesium alloy down to approximately 1.3 km/sec.
Study of Phase Transitions in WO3 with a High‐Temperature X‐Ray Diffractometer28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722631View Description Hide Description
WO3 undergoes a phase transformation from monoclinic to orthorhombic at approximately 320°C and from orthorhombic to tetragonal at 720°C. A detailed study of the variation of the unit cell dimensions over the range from room temperature to 1000°C has been carried out using high‐temperature x‐ray diffraction techniques. Some unique features of the apparatus are described in this paper.
Between the 320°C and 720°C transformations, the a and c axes increase uniformly in length while the b axis decreases. There is a marked increase in the volume of the unit cell below the orthorhombic to tetragonal transformation; the volume decreases sharply in the transformation and resumes its ``normal'' increase above 720°C.
Solution of the Bloch Equations for Determination of Relaxation Times in Liquids28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722632View Description Hide Description
A solution of the Bloch differential equations is given in which both audio modulation and linear variation of the external magnetic field are explicitly included. For the case of T 1 approximately equal to T 2 and (γH 1)2 T 1 T 2»1, the solution assumes a simple form which agrees well with experiment. T 1 can be determined by comparison of the predicted line shapes with those obtained experimentally.
Low‐Temperature Thermal Conductivity of Some Commercial Coppers28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722634View Description Hide Description
Values are given for the thermal conductivity between 4°K and 273°K of six commercial coppers and copper alloys: coalesced, electrolytic tough‐pitch, free‐cutting (tellurium) and phosphorus deoxidized coppers, free‐cutting leaded brass, and silicon bronze A. The first three show the conductivity maximum typical of pure metals; the last three show the monotonic increase characteristic of alloys. The intrinsic thermal resistance in the three purer coppers varies appreciably with the concentration of chemical impurities but is much less affected by physical imperfections. In the heavily worked copper alloys the lattice contribution to the conductivity is minor and the total conductivity is essentially the electronic conductivity as limited by the imperfection scattering.
Viscosity of Suspensions of Uniform Spheres28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722635View Description Hide Description
A mathematical development of the viscosity of suspensions is presented based on the steady‐state Stokes‐Navier equations of motion omitting inertia terms. The disturbance due to each sphere is assumed to be confined to a frictionless envelope surrounding it similar to the stream tube for flow inside ducts.
The relationship obtained between relative viscosity and solids concentration is in good agreement with existing data over a wide concentration range without the necessity of introducing empirical constants. It is thus thought that it may be a suitable model for further theoretical study as well as furnishing a basis for empirical correlation equations of rheological properties. In very dilute systems it does not agree with the well‐known Einstein formula, and possible reasons for this variation are advanced.
Dimensional Changes Resulting from Dezincification of Alpha Brass28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722636View Description Hide Description
Small sheet and wire samples of high purity 70–30 brass were dezincified in vacuo at various temperatures, and the dimensional changes were observed as a function of the amount of zinc removed. The fractional changes in the dimensions normal to the diffusion direction were comparable to the changes in the diffusion direction. The dimensional changes were directly proportional to the amount of zinc removed and were independent of the temperature. The observed dimensional changes are explained as a combination of a net loss of lattice sites from the sample and the substitution of vacancies for zinc atoms at some of the other lattice sites. From the observed dimensional changes can be calculated both the ratio of diffusivities of copper and zinc atoms in the lattice and the effective size of the vacancies introduced. The ratio D Cu/D Zn is found to be 0.0832, and the volume dilation (fractional expansion per lattice fraction vacancies introduced) is −0.120.
Reflection of Sound from a Surface of Saw‐Tooth Profile28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722637View Description Hide Description
A variational method is used to calculate the energy diffracted into the various orders produced when a plane acoustic wave is incident on a periodic, pressure‐release surface of saw‐tooth shape. The results of companion experiments performed with a cork‐covered surface, using techniques of underwater sound are also presented. The relative energies reflected in various orders are plotted as a function of the ratio of acoustic wavelength to spatial period of the surface for a range of angles of incidence. Theory and experiment agree within 10% for all angles of incidence examined and for a large part of the frequency range covered.
Electrical Conductivity of Plexiglas28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722638View Description Hide Description
The electrical conductivity of Plexiglas in an electric field of 2.6 kv/cm in the temperature range from 21° to 90°C was found to be represented by the sum of two exponentials, which have activation energies of 1.45 and 2.7 ev. At the higher temperatures the curves of current as a function of electric field strength from 2.6 to 29 kv/cm were resolved into the sum of a linear and an exponential term. The results suggest that ionic conduction dominates at low fields.
Time Lag between High‐Speed Pellets and the Ionization in Their Trails28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722639View Description Hide Description
An investigation of the spatial relation between high‐speed projectiles fired at velocities of from 1 to 2.5 km per sec shows that the ionization and light in their trail does not occur at a point along the projectile path at the same instant the projectile passes. The time lag has been measured by letting the projectile and ionization in its trail obstruct the transmission of microwaves through a short length of wave guide. The time lag between the pellet and the ionization was observed for magnesium,aluminum, and titanium projectiles, but attempts to obtain the same data for copper, steel, and zinc were unsuccessful because these materials did not seem to produce ionization in their flight at the velocities being investigated. Time lags of up to 1000 μsec were measured at the lower velocities for aluminum projectiles. At velocities of 2.5 km per sec no time lag was observed. That is, the ionization occurred immediately as the pellet passed. Measurements of the luminosity associated with these pellets by means of photocells indicated that the ionization and the luminous region occurred simultaneously. The variations of this time lag as a function of velocity is explained by some thermodynamic properties of the metal in the pellet.
Semiconductor Properties of Recrystallized Silicon in Aluminum Alloy Junction Diodes28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722640View Description Hide Description
This is a study of the basic electrical properties of thin recrystallized regions formed in the fabrication of PN junctions by the alloying of pure aluminum on N‐type silicon single crystals. The average aluminum concentration is about 7×1018 cm−3, and varies by a factor of 4 to 5; being largest in the region first recrystallized and decreasing in a linear manner to the surface immediately beneath the aluminum‐silicon eutectic. The average Hall‐hole mobility is about 55 cm2 volt−1 sec−1 and varies from 35 to 75 cm2 volt−1 sec−1 across a region formed by precipating from 977°C to the eutectic. Across the same region the conductivity varies from 72 to 35 mho cm−1. The built‐in field which is both a function of depth and total width can vary from 10 to 200 v per cm in typical cases. The minority carrier (electron) diffusion length ranges from 4 to 12 μ. The temperature dependence of the distribution coefficient corresponds to an enthalpy change (differential heat of solution) of +0.43 ev necessary for the transfer of an atom of aluminum from the liquid to the solid.
Radiation Resulting from an Impulsive Current in a Vertical Antenna Placed on a Dielectric Ground28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722641View Description Hide Description
We consider the electromagnetic field generated by passing an impulsive current of the form of a delta function δ(t) through a vertical Dipole antenna placed on a dielectric ground. The problem is formulated in operational form, and the Hertzian potential Π is expressed as an integral over a Bessel function. This operational solution is then inverted, and the Hertzian potential Π(r,z,t) is expressed in terms of finite complex integrals over a fixed range. The integrals for Π were evaluated on the electronic computer of the Weizmann Institute, and the results for the case of a dielectric constant ε=9 are shown in Fig. 1. The field in the air starts with a finite value at the time of arrival of the wave front, and then increases in a monotone fashion towards the steady state value. In the ground, there is a cone of angle centered around the downward vertical, inside which the field starts again with a finite value and then decreases toward the steady state value. Outside this cone, the direct wave in the ground is preceded by a diffracted wave originating from secondary radiation emanating from the portion of the boundary where the air wave passed in advance of the ground wave. This diffracted wave starts with zero amplitude and increases thereafter, becoming logarithmically infinite at the time of arrival of the direct wave in the ground. After that the amplitude decreases continuously toward the steady‐state value.
Absorption of Rayleigh Waves in Low‐Loss Media28(1957); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1722642View Description Hide Description
Many materials are characterized by internal dissipation parameter 1/Q«1. An expression is derived for such media relating the Rayleigh wave absorption coefficient to compressional and shear wave absorption coefficients with the elastic velocities as parameters. Ultrasonic experiments are described in which the three absorption coefficients are measured in thin Plexiglas sheets. The theoretically derived expression satisfactorily relates the observed absorption coefficients.

Posted on 02/11/2013 7:44:58 AM PST by Responsibility2nd
(Newser) – One click on a keyboard, and Sally Donaldson was sending her money to the wrong person. The British hairdresser says she planned to transfer her monthly pay of about $1,500 to her husband's account, but mis-typed one digit of his account number. The heartbreaker: They only noticed the error two years later, after losing $42,000. And the bank, Nationwide, refuses to return the money, the Guardian reports.
The bank argues that the lucky recipient has already withdrawn the money from ATMs, so getting it back is impossible. And the transfers are hardly the bank's fault. "Phone calls to Nationwide that night, many tears, and numerous subsequent calls and letters, have left us with just £1,000 returned," says Donaldson—which isn't her real name. How she failed to notice the problem for two years is another story. The Guardian partly blames paperless bank statements, which are easier for customers to ignore than snail-mail versions. (An Arkansas couple recently had a much rosier financial tale to tell.)
Sally lost two years' pay after mis-typing a digit during an online transfer. Now she can't get her missing money back
It was a sickening, gut-wrenching moment when, one evening in October 2012, Sally Donaldson checked her bank account and realised she had made the silliest financial mistake of her life.
Two years earlier, hairdresser Sally had organised for her monthly pay, £1,000, to be transferred from her HSBC account to the joint account at Nationwide building society she shares with her husband. But on that October night, the mother of two discovered she had made a simple but calamitous error.
It's a mistake anyone can make. To transfer money online from one account to another, you simply tap in the recipient's name, their sort code and account number. But Sally had incorrectly typed in just one of the eight digits in the account number – and the money was sent to the wrong person.
What makes her story so extraordinary, though, is that she made the mistake in May 2010. Every month since – for more than two years – her pay was going into someone else's Nationwide account. And now, to her horror, Sally is discovering she has almost no chance of getting back a penny of the £26,650 transferred in error.
That sucks, but the bank is right in this situation. She voluntarily mis-typed her account and gave the bank permission to move the funds.
The bank doesn't owe her a cent for her error.
Here in the US, if money "unexpectedly" shows up in your account it is NOT yours (same for an ATM that unexpectedly spews money at you).
Banking laws are pretty clear — the one who withdrew the money has committed a crime and the bank has to make good on the mistake as well as go after the unintended recipient.
Two years.
I sure as hell would notice I am missing 1,500 a month.
I have no sympathy for her.
Now if she told the bank in two months then it would be a different story.
I completely agree. How can you not check you finances for 2 years and not notice $1500/mo is missing?
Something smells very fishy.
but if the bank does it by accident and you take the money out, you get charged with theft
The bank won't even tell her the name of the recipient who has the money. I suppose the foolish woman can get an attorney and try to sue.
But if the bank is not negligible and the recipient is broke, then whats the point?
Here in the US, if money unexpectedly shows up in your account it is NOT yours (same for an ATM that unexpectedly spews money at you).
Banking laws are pretty clear the one who withdrew the money has committed a crime and the bank has to make good on the mistake as well as go after the unintended recipient.
My bank was putting someone's SS payments in my account because I had the same name as this person. I told them about it and they corrected it. Sure, it was the right thing to do, but let's be frank here: It's not my money ane everybody with a vested interest (including the police and prosecutors) knows it.
Fact is, one could make the argument that a criminal case against the person taking the money is justifiable.
1 digit wrong.
Back in the early 70's I first heard about the use of a "check digit" included in identifying numbers, such as account numbers, membership numbers. This is an extra digit which serves as a check on whether the other digits were entered correctly. The number is created through a simple calculation, such that entering one digit wrong, or transposing digits will always produce an error that will be detected by simple program code.
So where were the bankers' heads when they designed their system of bank accounts?
BTW, this is obviously too difficult for the people in the government to understand, so they have not even thought of incorporating this in the universal personal identifier: the social security number.
In case someone from SSA is able to read, here's what you have do. Figure out the check digit for all existing SSN's. Inform everyone of the new number.
Oh, I forgot. To change your computer systems to accomodate the longer personal ID, will cost 10 billion dollars. Never mind.
Only tells us that the security access is too lax for the account. You shouldn't be able to send it. It says she got two out of three required entries correct. Well, then it shouldn't have happened. It has to be a 3 out of 3 match or nothing...I think the bank's system is set up wrong.
The woman is just careless and stupid. When I add a new account that I will pay money to, I send a payment of $1, and verify it got to the right account, before setting up larger payments.
In the past I banked at USBank.
A few years ago I checked the balance in mid-month and discovered my bank account bigger by about $100,000!
I notified customer service immediately, who were genuinely puzzled. It vanished three days later.
Was it an error? Or was someone within the bank embezzling?
If she was a rich and famous person, the bank would be making sure this was cleared up.
While the bank doesn't owe her, the person who received the money does. That person knew the money wasn't theirs, and yet they spent it anyway.
Such behavior has earned US citizens a little time in the big house. It's considered theft.
About 3 years ago, the bank made a typing error when they credited my payment to the electric company. It was a paper check. It should have been $115 and they took out $1150. When I noticed the problem, it took me 3 months of calls to get my money back and my balance straight. First of all the electric company gave everybody a hard time about giving back their windfall. Next the bank socked me for several overdrafts resulting from not having the funds. In all it took 3 or 4 months.
If the names don't match, the transaction should have been refused. From day one.
Hence why you give a voided deposit slip or check to do direct drafts.
That said I have never been on my account at my bank's website or an ATM and asked to enter an account number, that is just BS. It is either already verified and listed in my "accounts" section.
Sounds fishy to me.
About 25 years ago, during a period when I barely had my head above water, I received a notice that my checking account was overdrawn.
I can no longer remember the exact numbers, but the notice was showing a starting balance of over $1M. But I was overdrawn because I had written a check for thousands over this imaginary balance. In truth, neither my balance nor my check amounts in that account ever exceeded 3 digits.
I have no idea of what caused this mistake, and my call to the bank got me no information other than that there had been a mistake that was immediately rectified.
Frankly, I just don't believe this story. NOBODY transfers money to another account mistakenly and lets that ride for two years. If I were the police, I'd be looking for whoever owns that mistaken account. My money is that it is owned by someone she knows and they are just trying to defraud the bank.
Okay. If she didn't check her account for two years she's stupid.
But going by what's in the story, she should be able to sue the bejeebus out of the bank.
Correct. But the recipient does. And after acknowledging the error, the bank should facilitate her efforts to get that person to return the money in what amounts to theft. No contract, oral or otherwise exists or existed between the two parties for the legal transfer of funds.
I stopped doing all of my automatic bill payments...yes it's a little more work to enter in each one individually, but that's the best way to stay on top of where your money is going.
I was wondering who has that much money, as a working stiff, to where, when you pay the bills, somewhere a check doesn't bounce in 2 years?
I once did my kid's taxes by hand.
A few weeks later I got a form letter from the state. It said I had made a mistake....and the refund should not be $34....instead it should be $34,000 (I have terrible handwriting).
The letter said we would get a check for $34k soon. It never came...and neither did the $34 check :(.
I tried automatic bill payment twice. In the first attempt, AOL double tapped my credit card. In the second instance, my mortgage company double tapped my bank account.
Both were a huge hassle to clear up.
I still do electronic bill payment...just not automatic.
And my new bank (USAA) takes it a step further. In no circumstance does my electronic bill payment allow the other bank to debit my account. Rather USAA is actively sending a credit to them...the the point of printing and mailing paper checks if necessary. This way I never give a bank or company a blanket permission to debit the account.
It gives me alot of control.
$1500 in hubby's account for two years and he never asks her where it is? BS.
I agree.
It wasn't just 1500 once, it was every month for 24 months.
I have no sympathy if the story is true as reported, and I do not think it is.
Heh, I still write checks and put stamps on the envelopes. I don't like giving others access to my accounts, even though there isn't much in them. Just the way I grew up in the 50s, I guess.
Good idea.
But its not just the account number but the routing number, plus name and address when setting up auto pay.
As others have said, this is very fishy.
Once got a letter from the IRS stating that my return wasn't the amount I gave them (forget the amount ). Instead it should be x, the exact same amount.
I still do the same (write checks and mail them). I could easily do it all on line but I just don't want to!
This smells like a scam to me.
It's pretty ridiculous to complain 2 years later.
I know that is true when the bank makes an error which leads to funds going to the wrong account. I don't think it applies when the customer voluntarily transfers their money to someone else.
It was a bank error, happens all the time.
The band aids and bubble gum holding many of their systems together leaks occasionally.
One very large bank I know was processing unemployment checks for states. Their system had a duplicate process running for about 4 hours. So every deposit and withdrawal happened twice.
Initially the amount of money involved was around $120 million but they managed to recover all but about $3 million.
A bank employee told me 2 years ago, that inside of 10yrs, we'll all be ***required*** to bank online, OR ELSE. My replay was, or else WHAT? She just smiled. I can now see where that's going, based upon 0scumbagCare.
It took her two years to figure out the money was missing? Whoa! I thought my ex was sloppy with the banking....
She's definitely qualified to be Treasury Secretary.
Lack of proper internal controls on the bank's part contributed to this error. There should be no way this occurred without confirmation from the bank as to why the name, sort code, and account number wouldn't have matched up properly. There should have been an instantaneous on-screen error message to prevent this.
That being said, to not even check this account for two years is stupid.
If they were paying attention, they would have noticed it in the first month and then their problem would have been either resolved or 1/24th of the scale!
Pay attention to your money people!
She's definitely qualified to be Treasury Secretary.

Carlisle sees music success in the Delta
Choosing a career path took most of his life, Devin Carlisle admits. But now that he has set his mind on becoming a professional music artist, doors are swinging open for the 21-year-old singer/songwriter, who is following the musical footsteps of his late grandfather, B.C. Carlisle of Tunica, MS.
"Most kids knew they wanted to do basketball, football, acting or politics… I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I wanted to know what I was passionate about, and I didn't have that in high school or middle school," Devin said. "When I left for college and I was on my own, I was singing all the time. I sang in front of strangers basically, and I got support from people. They told me I would be good. It made me confident, and it made me know that this is what I want to do in life."

I needed to go to the doctor for a checkup on a few things and because I
was feeling like I had a bad sinus infection. Instead of going to my normal
walk in emergency clinic, I decided to try out a drug store clinic. I was going
to go to the Walgreens clinic but I choose the Minute Clinic at CVS since I trusted the CVS brand. From the start things were a bit weird. First off, they didnt have a direct number. I wanted to find out if I needed to set an appointment and how much a visit would cost. Figuring that it couldnt cost more than my emergency clinic visit ($95) since they only have a nurse practitioner , I decided to just go and trust that CVS would take care of me.
I went to the store in Boynton
Beach on the corner of Boynton Beach Blvd. and Congress and arrived around 10am.
I went to the back of the store and spoke to the nurse practitioner. I told her
I think I have a sinus infection and I also wanted her to look at my itchy slap.
She said sure and told me the price would be $79-$89. Not feeling well, I
figured it would be the lower of the two, first mistake. Its $89 for new
patients which she could of just told me but intentionally mislead me (I found
out hours later it was $89 when I called their 877 number). She then looked me
over and prescribe amoxicillin and a pill for my sore throat. Im not sure why
she didnt give me a cough suppressant liquid since the thought of swallowing
more pills wasnt too appealing and I thought I would get a z pak for the sinus
infection since its only 5 days of pills with the z pak vs. 10 days and many
more pills with the amoxicillin. She told me a z pak was expensive and there
was no generic (I later found that out to be a lie).
I then told her about my scalp. She
kept avoiding the scalp questions so since I have dealt with it for a while I
suggested she just issue a refill of some medicine that worked for me in the
past. I then realized I forgot the bottle at home and told her I would run home
and would be back in 15 minutes. She then said she would have to charge me for a new visit! Real nice of CVSs minute clinic!
I then told her I would try to contact my doctor to get the name of it
but he wasnt available. I actually thought she would look at my scalp and ake
her own diagnoses since I told her about the scalp before the visit even
started! I then told her if she isnt able to address the scalp issue then I would
have to go to see my normal doctor at the emergency clinic. At that point she
said I should have brought the old bottle and if I ran home and got it then she
would only charge me $55 for another visit and would write one refill (real
nice of her!). Being short of funds, I declined the offer, paid the $89 fee and
bought some scalp over the counter product that she pushed on me.
After arriving home feeling ripped off and even more sick (the sinus pressure was building), I tried to call their 877 number to file a complaint or try to get my money back. After waiting for 20 minutes on their 877 line, I spoke to a rep. She actually seemed very knowledgeable and even knew clobetasol liquid I use on my scalp from time to time. She told me the nurse practitioner should of addressed the scalp issues and prescribed the clobetasol. She told me a manager would call me back in 7-10 days! Since I didnt want to wait 7-10 days, I then drove directly to me normal Dr. Tran in Delray Beach. I had to get the scalp issue addressed and I didnt want to take amoxicillin and more pills for my throat.
His fee was only $95 and he saw me right away. He wrote me a script for a z pak, guaifensen w codeine SYRUP for the cough and clobetasol liquid for the scalp It took him all of 5 minutes. No bs, no amateur hour games, just right to the point.
I spoke to the CVS store manager and figured she could pull some strings with the CVS Minute Clinic so I wouldnt have to wait 7-10 days for a resolution. I told her to try and get my money back or just issue a store credit at the CVS. She said someone from the Minute Clinic company would call. I waited for a hours but decided to a CVS by my house to get my prescriptions
filled. By this time it was about 230pm, my throat was on fire and my head felt
like it was going to explode. I tried to call back the other CVS with the
minute clinic to see if they could just issue a credit at my local CVS so it
would cover my prescriptions from my Dr. Tran but the CVS manager left for the day. I paid full price out of my pocket and left.
I then got a call by a CVS Minute Clinic district representative named Karol or something. From the start she was rude and defensive. She told me the nurse practitioner did nothing wrong, took zero responsibility and said I would get a dime back. She just spoke over me the whole time and didnt offer any solutions. She said the nurse practitioner wasnt able to look at any scalp issues and couldnt prescribe any itch liquids or creams like clobetasol for scalp issues. She then told me how amoxicillin is the number one solution for a sinus infection ( I prefer a z pak is less pills and a lot less headache). I then asked her why her nurse practitioner didnt know there was a generic z pak. She got defensive and then just repeated herself while talking over me. I then tried to ask her for her name. She told me twice but I couldnt hear because I was driving. I pulled over and then asked her for her name. She flat out refused to give it to me again and then hung up on me.
Real classy for a person that is supposed to be a district manager of CVSs
Minute Clinic. Whatever you do, do not go to CVSs minute clinic when you are sick. They arent knowledgeable, they only can treat very minor issues and they care more about getting a quick $89 dollars out of you. CVS Minute Clinic. It should be renamed CVS Minute Rip Off.

Conversation Between Maruno and Neo-Dragon

January 5th, 2012
Thanks very much man! I'll look into those classes now! I was just so stuck on how to go about it. I want to see how that handles it haha.
January 5th, 2012
NPCs are events, and even basic RMXP allows you to move events around (even randomly). I don't think Essentials has modified this behaviour at all (I've noticed, for example, that randomly-moving events can walk over ledges, just because they're passable). Dependent events are custom, though, and do jump as expected (but don't face the right way when going around corners).
The script section
contains event-relevant scripts, which in turn depend on the stuff in the three
sections (which also helps define the player character, incidentally). There's also the section
, which is about elephants.
January 4th, 2012
Hey Maruno, I wanted to ask you a question. This is pretty random lol.
Does Essentials handle NPC movement? I'm coding random NPC movement for my game engine (for my game) and I'm having issues. I'd love to see how Essentials handles NPC movement and code related to it. Can you point me in the right direction? Like what scritps deal with it or whatever?
July 31st, 2009
My game has mouse interaction, so thanks for bashing that feature lol.
Check otu my game though and you'll see it's far from the average game and has some pretty new concepts.
July 31st, 2009
I certainly have a good intuition when it comes to code. If asked "how can I do this?", I can imagine where and how "this" would come into play, and then I imagine pseudo-code that would do "this". I don't properly remember any syntax, though, so I couldn't give anything more useful than "go here and insert something like..." comments.
I suppose being a more technically-minded (i.e. understanding scripts) person would help one come up with some better quality features, since that person would also be able to imagine how it would actually work, not just "wouldn't it be cool if...?" comments like real-time battles in RPG Maker XP (they're probably possible, but a huge project in itself). On the other hand, people not tied down by knowing the limitations of the system may imagine some bigger and better stuff - unfortunately, it'd probably be impossible. I find the little features more interesting anyway, like the aforementioned effectivenesses or inserting a "Caught at Level 5 in Viridian Forest" message.
My battle system is essentially nothing more than a re-skinning. The problem with redesigning the battle screen in particular is, I think, that the code for it is all over the place. It'd be very difficult to find what goes where and figure out how to change it in the right way - this would probably be the main reason I could recruit a scripter to help me (but not before I have a go myself).
I do like the games that don't try to copy the official ones exactly. All this touch screen and pokémon following nonsense in particular is, I think, not very interesting at all. I'd rather play the official games than those knock-offs, to be honest. No, being different is what's good, even if it won't be quite as popular as yet another Gold/Silver remake.
July 30th, 2009
Thanks for getting back to me.
I understand about you not wishing to go into detail on your ideas.
I'm the same with mine. I think I have more freedom then the average member because I'm using RM2k3 and everything I did- rather then the Starter Kit- so I know how I did the code- rather then some users of the starter kit.
I assumed because you were very helpful to members in the Starter Kit thread that you would be great at knowing what script to edit and what not to add in your own custom features.
I think you certainly have an advantage over most members in this respect.
People who understand the scripts tend to have more interesting concepts for features and gameplay mechanics.
I wouldn't start that idea thread if I were you. I think nothing good will come of it- and I agree about what you were saying others would post.
I do actually like the idea of changing the types around - but yeah - balancing would be a nightmare lol.
But if you had a new look and feel to the battles, that would fit in really well, so it all comes down to the battle system as a whole for your game. If it is the same as the Pokémon official games, it may not work.
July 30th, 2009
I may be better than some at seeing how the code works, but I'd strongly argue against the idea that I'm even good at RGSS, let alone "one of the best". But thanks for the compliment.
I have a concept for a game at the moment, which I'm very slowly piecing together. It'll be at least months before anything significant comes of it, though, since I tend to drift in and out of projects all the time. I have a few ideas to put in my game that I've not seen anywhere else (although I don't look at every single game available, and haven't actually downloaded any to play), and if I'm smug for a moment they're really cool ideas. But given the nature of this forum, I'd rather not reveal any of these ideas before using them myself, just so I can get in there first and introduce them to the forum (after then, though, I might be happy to share my knowledge). And, if I'm honest, all my ideas are just manipulations of existing bits of scripts - I'm sure I couldn't create something new from scratch. But still, they're interesting manipulations, some more ambitious than others (I may even have to succumb to recruiting a scripter to help out with, say, the redesigned battle screen).
Seriously, don't hold your breath for anything from me.
I'm tempted to make a thread into which people can throw ideas for extra features to inspire people, but I fear it wouldn't produce much more than "make Pikachu follow you around" and "real time battles".
One idea I have, which I'm not sure if I want to implement in my game, is to make the type modifications for secondary types only contribute half as much. This would make Onix and Rhyhorn different in terms of strengths/weaknesses, and allow for primary Flying types (if people are willing to rearrange the types for some pokémon). The problem with this idea is that balancing would be a nightmare.
But it's that kind of interesting little idea that I fear we wouldn't see in such a thread, which is why I'm hesitating to create it. Opinions?
July 28th, 2009
Hey Maruno.
I'm just wondering do you have a project that you are working on at the moment? I haven't seen anything from you but yet you seem like one of, if not the best RMXP scripter in our section.
I'm interesting in seeing what you would come up with since I'm assuming you could script new features from the standard game.
April 10th, 2009
Thanks. I try. I mostly hang around in Game Dev, not on other parts of the site.
April 9th, 2009
Just thought I'd stop by and say I think you have some really well put posts in the Game Dev section. Keep it up.

Trail of Tears
2.5 mile down "Super Beast", up "Super 'Squiotos", back down "Super 'Squitos, and back up "Super Beast", doing 10 push ups on the 2 minute, facing the direction you are running.
Oh yeah, after you get back, 4x2:00 wall sit, 2:00 recovery between each rep.
ActiveX is functional movement, strength and top-end cardio training. I wanted people to workout with, and to truly make Active, active. It's motivating, it's bonding, it's good for us, and, it's fun.
