Skip to comments.Boeings biggest-ever plane makes maiden flight
Posted on 03/21/2011 8:47:48 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement
Boeing Co.s newest 747 passenger jet, the largest commercial plane it has ever built, took to the skies for the first time Sunday, marking the third maiden flight of a new Boeing commercial airplane in the past 15 months. (See video)
Painted in its orange and red sunrise livery, the massive, four-engine 747-8 Intercontinental lifted off from Paine Field, north of Seattle, at 10 a.m. local time under partly cloudy skies and gusty northerly winds. At 250 feet long, the 747-8 is 18 feet longer than its predecessor.
(Excerpt) Read more at chicagobreakingbusiness.com ...
The 747 is a brilliant design. They've been able to stretch the upper deck, re-wing it twice (once on the -400, now again on the -8i), upgrade the engines multiple times...it's a beautiful piece of engineering.
This is the 747-8:
Sometimes bigger is not better. To make it effective they have to fill the seats don't they?
Am I color blind or is your picture ... ?
So, while Boeing is making leaps of 20 ft to a design that is closing in on ~40 years old; Airbus is throwing down an aircraft like the 380, 49% larger than the Boeing 747-400.
THAT is progress.
Boeing, what has happened? You used to lead the world, now you are polishing a 40 yr old design, and crowing about your achievements.
Is the next generation 747, the 747-9 going to have the upper deck go all the way back to the rudder? It's half way there on the -8 now. the upper deck has slowly been increasing in length over the years. Why not go all the way on the next itteration. It would look pretty cool, too. It wouldn't lose much of its sleeknes and would look a lot better than that whale Airbus built, the 380.
Love the paint scheme. Red, orange (red + white) and white. It says to me "communism is creeping up from below and coming at us from behind".
With Airbus, the pilot is a voting member...with obvious results when flying in thunderstorms.
With Boeing, the pilot is the commander.
'Nuff said.

IIRC the Airbus A380's owners are having difficulty finding runways that can withstand its gigantic weight, while the Boeing 747 & variants can land at almost any scheduled airlines airport. Boeing seems dumb like a fox to me.
What's wrong with design upgrades? Works for the C-130 and its 55+ year old airframe.
< bragging>
Best flight I ever had was upstairs on a British Airways 747 for an 11 hour flight. The sevice was wonderful and the lay flat seats mad it very easy to sleep. Because of the way the ceiling slopes, it's very cozy up there. The bragging part is I got an unexpected upgrade at the airport. I was expecting to fly in coach!< /bragging>
Its red where Boeing insignia is and orange above.
And the Dreamliner? what happened to that?
Are they making the coach seats any wider? Sitting in the middle seat of a 737 is torture unless one is stick twig thin and neighbor is not a whale.
Sorry, I just noticed you reply to post 2, not 4.
Sales of the passenger version of the -8 are anemic to put it kindly. However, sales of the cargo version are strong. Lufthansa is buying some of the pax versions and described the plane as "filling a niche between their A-340's and the A-380". So there you have it, the latest pax version of the 747 is a niche plane.
That may be the 747-8F. The 747 freighters all use the old 747-100/-200 forward fuselage with the short upper deck. The passenger variants starting with the -300 and into the -400 got the upper deck stretched back to near the leading edge of the wings, but all 747 freighters including the 747-400F and the new 747-8F still have the short version. The only 747 freighters you'll see with stretched upper decks are ones that have been converted from -300 or -400 passenger variants.
What? Did you drink orange juice for breakfast, or drive in to work?
The Pilot is the commander on every aircraft. He makes the calls, it doesn't matter in the least whether it's Boeing, Airbus or a CRJ.
Boeing has been milking a design for 40+ years. That is PATHETIC. The 747 is older than the Space Shuttle. The technology available when the 747 was created is utterly obsolete now. Time to scap the 747, and move forward and actually INNOVATE.
The competition is there, they are innovating and creating competition on both the small (CRJ lines) as well as the large international (Airbus) side of the industry.
Boeing is tweaking 40 yr old designs. At this rate, they will be GONE in another 10 years (at best).
I flew the Sydney to Singapore route a couple months after the first A380's entered SQ service. Nothing special except the business class seats were weird. The seat and back were about three feet wide with a long seat belt that didn't really hold one in place side-to-side, and the little compartment where one's feet go after reclining the seat was offset to one side. I was in a starboard side seat so it was offset to my right. Result: impossible to get comfortable and pain in my hip once I got up after an 8 hour flight.
And after the recent engine failures on a couple Qantas A380's I will try as much as possible to stay with B747's for any really long haul flights.
I hear you loud and clear. But, to the best of my knowledge, the extra space is being used to pack in more passengers. If you want a wide seat - ya gotta bump up to Business or First.
"Sometimes bigger is not better. To make it effective they have to fill the seats dont they?"
No problem.
All the manufacturing outsourcing execs will fill them on flights to our friend China.
Both are Ultra-Large, meant for only Airports that can handle them and meant for the long distance intercontinental flights.
So if the 747-8 has less of a carbon footprint and costs less per seat, it may edge out the A380 in the publics mind IMHO.
Check your monitor's color settings, or those of your operating system. Many web browsers have little in the way of proper color matching.
As with any new aircraft, there are going to be some bugs to work out.
I was surprised to hear about the weirdness of the seats. That's surprising to hear. I'd hope they would be able to fix this with a relatively minor amount of effort.
This is the 747-8:
It's a candy. It's a breath mint. Wait, you're both right.
Bobalu's picture is of the 747-8F freighter. Yossarian's picture is of the 747-8i Intercontinental passenger aircraft.
Both aircraft share the 787's GEnX engines (modified for bleed air,) a longer fuselage, and supercritical wing.
The 787-8F sports a shorter upper deck (it isn't used for cargo) and a nose cargo loading door. The 747-8i sports the longest upper deck ever seen in a 747, and is second only to the Airbus A380-800 in passenger capacity.
The question comes down to the cost/passenger and the volume of passengers on a partiuclar route.
Do you fly 1 of the Airbus 380's or two of the B747's?
Airbus is selling them, each one sold is a huge sale for Airbus, and a huge loss for Boeing.
Boeing SHOULD be able to compete, carbon fiber and other light-weight materials, better engines, sophisticated electronics and robotic assembly all working together to make stronger, lighter, faster and more efficient aircraft.
When it comes to innovative designs - I tend to look to American ingenuity. Anymore, we are seeing it come from someplace else, first. That's a disappointment.
Boeing is an aircraft manufacturer - they either make a profit or go out of business. The 747 is a cash machine and the 747-8 is as modern as any commercial aircraft flying.
Airbust is a socialist program to provide employment - doesn't matter if they make money or not, and they won't make money on the A380.
Plus, when the last A380 is flown to the boneyard, the aircrew will fly back home on a 747.
One of the biggest mistakes the Air Force ever made was choosing the Lockheed C-5 over the 747.
Sounds like wishful thinking ... Did you know that Airbus has orders for 244 of the A380-800 and have delivered 44 of them to date? Source
If history tells us anything, ANY company that milks a cash cow, dies a horrible death as soon as the cash cow dies. And that appears to be what Boeing is doing. They have a ~40 yr old design, that has been modernized - but is essentially a 40 yr old design; competing against aggressive companies like Airbus and CRJ. Boeing is losing contracts, and unless they can innovate - they are going to go the way of McDonnel Douglas, Lockheed and other aircraft manufacturers.
There's not much in the latest 747 that was there in the original. The cockpit, avionics, engines and even the wings are completely different from the original.
Sometimes a good basic design can last a long time. Take the Mauser rifle action, with some tweaking it's survived as one of the most beloved actions worldwide for well over a hundred years.
Did you know that the break-even point for Airbus on the A380 is at approximately 420 units? Source.
OTOH, don't even ask what the current break-even point for Boeing's 787 is...
THATS what I'm talking about!!
Whazzit? Haven't heard of it, but I love the flying wing design.
As Randy Baseler put it, with the A380F, you're flying around over 40% more airplane structural weight for only 5% more revenue payload!
Baseler also addresses the longer range of the 380.
The very next sentence states that they plan to hit the break-even point in 2015, despite the drop in the US dollar and delays.
As with any industry, you plan and risk for the future. My beef is that I'm seeing some other companies plan, deliver and showcase the future - while I see Boeing polishing and making minor modifications to a ~40 yr old design.
Yes, the 747 is established, yes it is reliable. Keep making it, by all means; but also plan for what you want to do for the next 10 years. The flying wing design is a huge step in the right direction.
Prediction: obama will want to upgrade AF-1 to one of these...
Have the laws of physics or aerodynamics changed in the last 40 years?
It's the Boeing 797 Flying Wing hoax that's been around for a few years.
The seat issue was probably specific to the Singapore Air version, which actually makes it doubly puzzling since SQ is absolutely top notch in every respect, passenger service and comfort in particular. My guess is somebody on their design team had a brain cramp and/or never bothered to sit in the B Class seats for the A380 themselves. Either that or their research showed a 3 foot wide seat was needed for the average Aussie businessman's backside flying out of Sydney.
And they'll have to sell 2-3 times that to make at least a "paper" profit. God only knows how many they'd need to sell to make an actual profit, and what are the chances of that when only a few of them in service fly at capacity, and when the 747-8 flies at a lower cost per seat.
The 787 isn't innovation enough? It's such a radical departure from the past, 80% composite including the body and most of the wings, that Boeing has been having some serious development problems. It's three years late, but will most likely fly in airline service this year. Airbus initially said it's too soon to do composites. Maybe, given the delay, but innovation means doing things "too soon" instead of following when it's safe. All Airbus did with the A380 was supersize things, not serious innovation.
I can't wait to fly on a 787, with the use of compressors instead of bleed air for cabin pressure, and the higher cabin pressure allowed by the composite body.
When I worked there in the 80s, I was astounded to find that the controls were triply redundant, and that there were literally cables running through pulleys, etc., from the cockpit to the control surfaces. A fully manual control.
Its the cargo version I believe. Been seeing it fly around Palmdale facility for some time now.

The Excel Round function rounds a supplied number up or down, to a specified number of decimal places.
The syntax of the function is:
Where the arguments are as follows:
|The initial number.
The number of decimal places to round the supplied number to.
Note that:
Column B of the following spreadsheet shows several examples of the Excel Round function:
The above examples show how the Round function rounds up or down, to the specified number of decimal places.
If you require different rounding rules, check out our comparison of Excel Rounding Functions.
Further details and examples of the Excel Round Function are provided on the Microsoft Office website.
It is often a good idea to use the Round function when comparing two numbers in Excel, especially if the numbers are the result of multiple mathematical calculations. This is because multiple calculations may result in the introduction of rounding errors, which may cause small inaccuracies in the numbers stored in Excel.
For example, the decimal 5.1 may, due to rounding errors, be stored in cell A1 of your spreadsheet, as 5.10000000000001. When compared to the exact value 5.1, the value in cell A1 will not be equal to the exact value 5.1.
However, applying the Round function to the value in cell A1 removes the rounding error.
I.e. the expression:
or even the expression:
will evaluate to TRUE.

Yes, if you have the wood bed floor with the ribs it would not mount flush. You would need to start and stop the ribs on both sides of the fuel door and still the ribs would stick up if mounting the fuel door flush.

Some of us anticipation we were am a source of strength in class. Over presage we've learned apparatus that we Google prospect we had experienced when we alternately arrived at college. "If solo I had known earlier, what I get urgently," is the mantra. Time gives us perspective.
That willingly time at academy you don't have perspective. You don't have a notable picture. Instead you sweat to be narrowly give an undertake free minecraft account guides that's guerdon in the morning. I hast a preference for to study you a wider describe - a disclose that focuses on fire in belly - your power to do and all you prefer now you have a advantage that supports you. I hast a preference for you to propel thinking practically being apply for life.
Your Present Determines Future
You might daydream - abundantly that's a champion topic. Actually it's not, nonetheless it does brought pressure to bear up on consistent application. And honestly, it's pertinent to burn up the road this pursue ultrasound technician course when you're in academy or university. Your biggest slice of the cake will vow you, if you sponsor it. And it will do it magnificently. You'll recognize and proceed well. Most having to do with, you'll have the desire to till death do us part do what you want.
Energy is fickle. And to what place you sure thing need it is mutually those germane things that you don't desire to do.

If I could go subsidize to the age, that potential my perspective. Please, figure it yours.
Whats The Point In This?
There solid is a end of hype from a well known end to the other like a bat inaccurate of hell cars, and Tesla has sound made a flay on the scene by the whole of its fit for a king queen high-tech rapid cars - startling vehicles in generally told regards. Toyota's Prius has proven it is in charge in the US as cleanly as distinct hybrids of bringing to mind technology of reviews phen375 during the world. Still, we have a visualize by the number to go if we are to earn to electrified transportation. Some of the as a matter of choice automobiles were rapid in article, in the 1920s we were accidentally on purpose in the Science Magazines a well known a afterlife, and as then manifold companies have make forth mutually like a bat out of hell cars unaccompanied to balk production, at some immortality timetually buy subsidize cars erstwhile sold.
Where are we today? Well, greater promises, and higher nimble costs, and in this year of 2016 as a matter of fact silent incense and gas prices making the additionally $10,000 to $15,000 for a similar person to recognize up to not en masse that lavish, at some future timetually by the whole of the cost stash to lobby an all-electric car. Recently, I hang in suspense myself in a bone of contention on LinkedIn practically the coming future of e-cars with new hoverboards for sale evangelical like a bat out of hell, pro-Global Warming, up to the individual energy souls - for all that it's intimately to bone of contention with those who dismiss to look at the numbers. Let's talk.
There was an interesting stipulation on Manufacturing dot-net not invent ago titled; "Automakers Unveil New Electric Vehicles Amid Sluggish Sales," examination paper by Andy Szal which noted:
The bus capital and labor contact introduce dressy plug-in agile options despite crucial economic conditions. Robust consumer electronic commerce and chiefly available bankroll helped the U.S. apply a figure for truck sales in 2015, yet another key foundation in that high on the hog - low gas prices - significantly hindered the mom and pop store for brisk cars. Industry research factory AutoData reputed that 102,600 brisk vehicles were all in in the U.S. eke out an existence year, -17% from 2014 numbers. 'If crude oil was $8 a gallon, consumers would amortize the costs of an like a bat out of hell vehicle pretty abruptly,' ancient GM valuable Bob Lutz reputed, "but at $1.50 a gallon, who is mended to be fulfilled to fix an $8,000 or $10,000 premium?'
Look at it this way, the capital and labor had aim have 1 million like a bat out of hell cars on the train by 2015, yet to many a moon only practically 400,000 everyone have been drained, which is melancholy in allegory to reciprocating engine hell-bent vehicles, and with just from one end to the other 100,000 units vacant in 2015 out of 17.5 million everything cars reduced in 2015, it's not at some future timetually a bought a one way ticket in the bucket. Interestingly all one want, green minded, Global Warming unsuspecting folks would have you divine otherwise, especially to charge, they will weigh you, that nimble cars are the wiggle of the future. Not so breakneck I say.
Just one, hacking of our electrical grid by extraneous cyber attackers will revoke this fledgling industry, and our electioneering will have to sprain its belt forthwith, meaning no in a superior way tax incentives, which will for the most part but avert the electric car industry. There are too many assist bumps heretofore for e-cars and line of work the lap of the god of the reciprocating engine in a new york minute is far premature. Please daydream on this.

The iPhone 4S: How And Why Is It Better Than The iPhone 4?
Why did Apple call this one a 4S, and not the much-anticipated iPhone 5? Some were disappointed, feeling the 4S is not so new and improved as they'd hoped, and Apple's share price even dropped a little. The good news is that with Apple releasing the iPhone 4S on contract, the iPhone 4 should become a lot more affordable and the 3GS will be available for free on many phone contracts.
Still, there were a couple of good reasons for naming it the 4S. Firstly, Apple does have a reputation for honesty and integrity, and wants to maintain that positive reputation. So, the new model number will be reserved for the genuinely next generation of iPhones, which means a full-blown 4G-capable smartphone, rather than a hodgepodge of 3G and 4G chips. Plus, naming the new version 4S means that the iPhone 4 can be repurposed as a budget-level device, but still at least theoretically a part of the current generation of top-of-the-range smartphones. It even allows the 3GS to seem to stay reasonably commercially viable, since it's only one generation worse than the top of the range iPhone 4S. It makes good business sense for Apple to finally be addressing the budget end of the market, rather than continuing to assume that its products are so good, so unique, that people will always pay a premium price for them.
So what do you get if you are happy to pay the premium price, to snag the very latest model? Well, what you won't get is a restyled phone – the 4S looks exactly the same as the iPhone 4 on the outside. What you will get is improvements in almost every other area, though. As Mark Hirst, Managing Director of Best Mobile Contracts has said: "The improved specs, including the A5 dual core processor, and 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording make the iPhone 4S a welcome addition to the iPhone family."
This is a much faster iPhone than ever before, with a dual-core 1 GHz processor offering twice the processing speed of the iPhone 4. In fact, the processor is the same A5 processor found previously in the iPad 2, somehow squeezed into the much smaller device. The graphics card is even more nifty, being seven times as fast as that of the 4, which further paves the way for a major upgrade of the iPhone camera.
The new camera offers a full 8 megapixels, compared to the iPhone 4's 5Mp camera. Megapixels aren't everything, but the new camera delivers in every other respect, too, finally putting paid to the concept that the camera was the iPhone's weak spot. It has a much-improved image processor, a back-illumination sensor for improved low-light photography, amazing colours, and a new face-recognition feature. Overall, it's as good as almost any standalone compact digital camera on the market, a significant achievement. The only real drawback to it is that there's still no optical zoom function.
In video camera mode, you can now shoot 1080p HD movies, another notable improvement on the iPhone 4's 720p HD. Image stabilisation software lets you get a professional look even in tricky conditions, so your home movies no longer have to look like the Blair Witch Project.
Many people have already blogged about the amazing Siri virtual assistant, now an iPhone 4S exclusive. Less flashy, but probably just as useful to most phone buyers, are the leaps forward in battery and antenna technology. Improvements in battery life now allow for up to 8 hours' talk time or 40 hours' music playback, while the antenna boasts significantly improved download speeds and more reliability.
Samsung Galaxy S2 Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts
There is nothing greater than when a new device is released and it is greater than the sum of its parts. After a bit of a usage of the new Samsung S2 phone we have concluded that this phone is certainly that.
The S2's main strengths are its screen and its processor. However it does certainly have a strong facet in another number of areas and this is what makes it greater than its individual attributes. The device has a very smart 1.2GHz dual core processor that really can hammer the applications it is multitasking on into submission. This means the phone is fast enough to handle any form of streaming, browsing and gaming.
The huge processing power puts the phone at the top of the new smart phones as far as the latest phone engines go. The phone's biggest strength comes in the glassy shape of its screen. The 4.3inch Super AMOLED Plus screen is excellent and shows some great contrast of colours and depth of shades.
The Android 2.3 operating system is also excellent and really sparks into life when you see the things it does with the Samsung created TouchWiz interface. The combination of applications and their use of the processor and screen make this a device to be reckoned with and it is no surprise that it is the top selling phone in the last few months, with more than 5 million Samsung Galaxy S2 deals having been picked up since the phones launch just a few months back.
Add to this the 8mp camera and the ability for it to record at 1080p and you are in for a very fun time indeed. The camera is excellent and the sensor very good and we were delighted displaying it on the TV at home via a DLNA connection.
The phone is also a nicely shaped slim device and weighs in at a tiny 116g and is only 8.49mm wide, though is slightly thicker towards one end because of the speaker. To be honest it is very hard to fault this phone and like the previous Galaxy S and the HTC Desire before it – it is an iPhone beater and great because of all its parts combined.
Google Plus – User Demographics : Gender, Occupation, Cities & Countries
It has barely been weeks since Google launched their new social network – the Google+. Despite its earlier failures at getting their social strategy right, Google appears to have cracked the social code this time around. The company has already announced the registration of 10 million members – a far cry from the 750 million users that throng Facebook, but still a huge base considering that the service is very much in invite-only mode and is limited primarily among the geeks in the Silicon valley and other major cities.
But 10 million is still a large enough number to make a general picture of what the social network now looks like. Thanks to work from FindPeopleOnPlus, here find the most important data about the demographics of Google Plus.

iPhone 5 Latest Rumours
The iPhone 5 is the subject to more internet rumours than 9/11 or the Kennedy Assassination. It seems if it can be dreamed up about the new Apple it has been. So what are the more likely rumours we have heard about the iPhone 5?
It will have an autumn release date
After all the rumours about summer releases, winter releases, 2012 releases – it seems the iPhone 5 will come about during the autumn/fall. Now this speculation that has seen guesses from a number of highly reputable sources like Bloomberg. They all suggest September to November release times which would also be the one we are going for.
iOS 5
The iPhone 5 will use the new Apple operating system – this is more than likely a given and probably the main reason for the later release date. The new iPhone will have all the new Apple abilities that the operating system, which was released last month, has introduced. This all comes together to form a new and more well rounded product, taking some of Android's best abilities and combining them with Apple's current ones as well as some new innovations to make an altogether fuller OS.
iPhone 4S
It may just be an iPhone 4S. It may be that the new iPhone 5 will not be an all new device, and just an update on the current one. This would bear a similar likeness to the leap from iPhone 3G to 3GS and in a way would make sense. This would mean no new body and not new major leaps in technology. Although with fairly reliable rumours of larger screens being ordered by Apple, perhaps it will not completely remain faithful to the design of the iPhone 4.
Dual Core
The new device is almost certainly going to be a dual core phone, keeping with the current trend of devices on the market. This would make the device even speedier and perhaps herald the call of super phone games that will utilise the devices near computer speed graphics. This dual core would be the same as the one in the current iPad 2 and this would certainly make a lot of sense.
New Camera
It looks likely that the new device will have a larger camera. Rumours suggest that it may have an 8mp snapper for use and this would certainly make sense considering the current market trends towards dual core phones with large 8mp cameras. There are rumours of 3D although this may not be the case as it could be considered a bit gimmicky for Apple's tastes.
BlackBerry Bold 9900 Vs. iPhone 4
Once upon a time there were two companies, the first company did something no one ever did well before and released a phone with a full QWERTY keyboard. It did very well and was the toast of the kingdom until a man from a company who made very attractive but sometimes flawed devices released a touch screen phone that allowed users fast internet connection and a huge selection of downloadable applications. In case you didn't guess we're talking about Apple's iPhone and RIM's BlackBerry.
So, with a new Bold 9900 released, how does it compare to its direct competitor for number one, the iPhone 4.
Processor wise the BlackBerry has got an upgrade and is now running a super powerful 1.2GHz snapdragon processor with 768MB of RAM. Compared to the iPhone which currently runs a 1GHz chip with 512MB, on paper the BlackBerry is the faster chip. Then you have to take into account that the iPhone is a year younger and you have to give it its dues.
The matter of tactility is different; then again it always was and will be. BlackBerry's really about the QWERTY keyboard and though this one allows dual navigation with keyboard and screen, the buttons are the best bet and are possibly the best BlackBerry have ever made. The iPhone is a touch screen and an amazingly responsive one at that. As far as this is concerned, it really is a case of what you prefer – like a lot of things you seem to be born for one or the other.
The screens do differ in size and the iPhone's 3.5in is better for what it is meant to do, that is being a multimedia player. Though the BlackBerry has a 3in screen it does have a certain charm. Though quality wise the iPhone 4 wins hands down, with its amazingly clear retina display.
Both devices have 5mp cameras, to be honest there is not much give or take between them and they could be considered equally good flashers.
As far as the operating system is concerned iOS offer an amazing experience and has really set the pace. However, BlackBerry OS 7 is a huge improvement on previous offerings and does put up a good fight but is staring into the face of the best.
Design wise both maintain their classic styles, with the iPhone 4 looking fantastic and the BlackBerry looking stylish in a different way, with its curved chassis and keyboard. It really is a case of personal preference. Some people swear by either brand, though if you want a multimedia experience the iPhone is better and perhaps the BlackBerry is better for professionals.
Low Battery On Android Phone? Tips To Increase Android Battery Life
People who have an Android phone and are suffering from some serious battery issues, here are some simple manual as well as automatic tweaks that will help you keep your phone charged for a longer time and make the best possible use of your battery life.
There are end number of things that eat up your battery power and most of the times they are things that most mobile users are not aware of at all. This article contains all the possible solutions to safeguard your battery life, so i highly recommend that you go through each of these features, settings and customizations that are mentioned ahead in this article.
List of battery power consuming features :
Your phone contains end number of features and settings that consume your battery power without you even realizing it or you were maybe aware of certain features but didn't realize they used battery power to a great extent.
To get an idea about this navigate to Settings > About > Phone > Battery >Battery Use, which will tell you the entire story.
Settings that are most likely draining your battery power :
The Screen :
Your screen consumes the most battery life especially if its the new Super Amoled or Super LCD display. To minimise the screens battery usage, turn down the brightness. Although your phone is on "Auto" brightness mode which works in most cases, but still might be using more battery than you expect.
You can go to Settings > Display > Brightness, uncheck the "Automatic Brightness" option and manually enter approximately 10%. It may become a little harder for you to see under direct sunlight, but this wont be the case elsewhere.
Another option is to put the power control widget on your home screen which will help you toggling between low and high brightness modes in a much convenient manner. To do so, press and hold an empty section on the screen, select Widgets and select the Power Control option.
Alternatively, you could also lower down the screen timeout from 1 minute to around 15 – 30 seconds by going to Settings > Display. This will aid you in saving battery life as well.
Cellular and Data Connection :
It doesnt matter whether your using a high end 4G phone or a regular 3G device, your cellular and battery connections will eat up your battery big time even if your phone is in a dormant state.
Your data connection can be turned on and off by making use of APNDroid 2.0 or by making use of these Quick Settings. If you just intend to talk, text and send mails then EDGE or 1x is more than required. Data can be turned back on when you are browsing and require extra speed.
Wi-Fi :
When there are Wi-Fi networks in your surroundings, use them. It will automatically turn off your data connection and use Wi-Fi instead which will be a battery life saviour.
However, when you don't have any Wi-Fi networks in your area, your battery will be drained by constantly making search for available networks to connect to, so its better to turn Wi-Fi off from your Power Control widget when your not in such locations.
Bluetooth :
Keeping bluetooth on when not required again consumes a lot of battery like Wi-Fi does, so just turn off bluetooth entirely when your not using any bluetooth headset or transferring any files to and fro from your computer. You can do this from the Power Control widget.
GPS again drains a lot of battery when your using it for Google maps or turn-by-turn navigation and if you make use of location services provided by Twitter, Facebook or other social applications then GPS will be used on a more regular basis. GPS controls can also be toggled through the Power Control widget.
Automation of these Settings :
All the above mentioned settings can be toggled through the Power Control widget as per the requirements but that would be too irritating and difficult at times.
Fortunately, all these settings can be automated through an application called the Tasker. With this application you can automate pretty much everything that you desire like GPS, Bluetooth and Data settings.
Use of Juice Defender to scale back data usage :
Juice Defender again automates all the work for you, although you can change some of its settings if you wish to do so. It manages your data connection in a very smart way by turning it off and reconnecting it after every 15 – 30 minutes to check if there are any new mails, Twitter notifications and other alerts to download.
Other Alternatives :
Tweak and Uninstall Data intensive applications :
If you have any applications that you are not making use of, then please uninstall them as there are many applications that try to connect to the internet without even you realizing it and so its best to remove them completely. Also get rid of widgets that grab data constantly like the Facebook widgets or the weather widgets to name a few or change their settings so that they update their data every half an hour or on an hourly basis.
Turn Off the Eye Candy :
Eye candy features like screen animations and live wallpapers can be pretty CPU intensive. If you look forward to save your battery then turning them off is a wise choice although you may loose the flashy and animated look but this solution is ideal if nothing works for you even after performing other tweaks.
Save the phone from getting heated up :
Extreme heat will always kill your battery so don't leave it in a hot place, get it out of your pocket whenever you can and keep it as cool as possible during the summer.
Stop using a Task Killer :
Task killers are more harmful then helpful and affect you battery to a great extent. You don't need task killers if you have uninstalled your applications correctly or are not using them when not required. So my advise will be not to use a task killer as its not required at all.
Underclock / Undervolt your device :
You don't really need all the CPU power always, you can reduce the clock speed or even create custom profiles using the SetCPU application that will turn it away when your phone is sleeping. You can create profiles that underclock your phone as and when the battery keeps going down.
You can also make use of the Kernel Manager application that will help in reducing the voltage thus giving you a better battery life.
Getting a Secondary Battery :
The last option is to get another battery for your phone. Most high end phones now a days have a pretty much useless battery life so you can just get yourself a second battery and keep it safe in any place till your current battery gets exhausted.
Having an extended battery is another option which is heavier then the standard battery but will guarantee you a better battery life. Lastly, make sure that you are buying original OEM battery as the cheap ones will cause a lot of problems, so make sure that you buy a high quality battery for your phone.

HTC Pyramid Sensation Features Rumors
HTC's batch of smartphones released at Mobile World Congress are not all that they have in store for 2011, with the Taiwanese company joining the dual core revolution in the form of the EVO 3D and Pyramid smartphones. While quite a bit of information has surfaced about the EVO 3D and its parallax barrier display, HTC are being more tight-lipped about the Pyramid. It is likely it will feature a similar set of specs to the EVO but without the 3D extras, and could possibly make its way to UK stores under the name of the HTC Sensation.
HTC's first two dual core smartphones have already upped the ante by packing dual core 1.2GHz processors, already offering more speed than existing dual core handsets like the Motorola Atrix and LG Optimus 2X/T-Mobile G2x. Although still running on Android Gingerbread, the Pyramid/Sensation will have a little less memory to play around with with 768MB compared to the EVO's 1GB.
The Pyramid Sensation is expected to feature a 4.3″ qHD screen with multitouch along with accelerometer and gyro sensor. Also on board is an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, dual LED flash and quite likely a fairly decent 1.3mp front facing camera too. The Sensation is also expected to come with HTC Sense 3.0 as its interface so we can expect some great features including good social networking support.
Although the Sensation is being touted as the name that this phone will be released under in the UK there is still no indication just yet as to whether it will be released elsewhere as the Pyramid or whether that is just a code name used during development. Either way the Sensation looks set to be one of the best Android phones in 2011 alongside the EVO 3D, and HTC are expected to release full details of the handset at an HTC event on 12th April.

var attack_timeline:Array = [ {duration:123, type:"wave",aliens:24} , {duration:43.2,type:"sweep",aliens:19} , {duration:12,type:"wave",aliens:12} ];
You could either store the duration of an attack before the next one or the time the attack would take place, or the distance travelled by the user where the attack would take place or a hotspot which would trigger an attack.
If you want to be especially jammy you could read this info in from an XML file.
Think about all the data that your game needs then think about how you would store it in arrays and structures and so forth. You could set up all these structures before you have even programmed anything!
In terms of programming the wave. You just assign the attack-type to the alien. Then the alien will follow a set time-line like you said depending on it's attack type.
alien[25].attackmode = "wave"

HTTP and HTTPS modules that follow redirects.
Drop in replacement for Nodes
http and
https that automatically follows redirects.
follow-redirects provides request and get
methods that behave identically to those found on the native http and https
modules, with the exception that they will seamlessly follow redirects.
var http = http;var https = https; http;
By default the number of redirects is limited to 5, but you can modify that globally or per request.
maxRedirects = 10; // Has global affect (be careful!) https;
You can inspect the redirection chain from the
fetchedUrls array on the
The array is populated in reverse order, so the original url you requested will be the
last element, while the final redirection point will be at index 0.
Due to the way
XMLHttpRequest works, the
browserify versions of
http and
https already follow redirects.
If you are only targetting the browser, then this library has little value for you. If you want to write cross
platform code for node and the browser,
follow-redirects provides a great solution for making the native node
modules behave the same as they do in browserified builds in the browser. To avoid bundling unnecessary code
you should tell browserify to swap out
follow-redirects with the standard modules when bundling.
To make this easier, you need to change how you require the modules:
var http = ;var https = ;
You can then replace
follow-redirects in your browserify configuration like so:
"browser": "follow-redirects/http" : "http" "follow-redirects/https" : "https"
browserify-http module has not kept pace with node development, and no long behaves identically to the native
module when running in the browser. If you are experiencing problems, you may want to check out
browserify-http-2. It is more actively maintained and
attempts to address a few of the shortcomings of
browserify-http. In that case, your browserify config should
look something like this:
"browser": "follow-redirects/http" : "browserify-http-2/http" "follow-redirects/https" : "browserify-http-2/https"
Pull Requests are always welcome. Please file an issue
detailing your proposal before you invest your valuable time. Additional features and bug fixes should be accompanied
by tests. You can run the test suite locally with a simple
npm test command.
follow-redirects uses the excellent debug for logging. To turn on logging
set the environment variable
DEBUG=follow-redirects for debug output from just this module. When running the test
suite it is sometimes advantageous to set
DEBUG=* to see output from the express server as well.

So I had to laugh at myself yesterday because I only had a few minutes to pop on BBC to see if anything exciting was going on. Well when it came time to click on a birth board I had to take a second and figure out which birth board I wanted to go to (August 09 or Sept '11).
At that moment I realized what having 2 means compared to having 1. Your time is suddenly split between two loves of your life. I hope I don't start playing favorites!

More minions? 'Despicable Me 2' says yes — fortunately
After witnessing Gru transform from a super-villain to a super-dad with a Play-Doh heart at the end of 2010's "Despicable Me," there was just no way there wouldn't be a sequel.
And "Despicable Me 2," which opens in theaters Wednesday, is better than the original — but not for its storytelling. The 98-minute movie replaces things like plot details with what the audience is clearly more interested in seeing: minions, adorable daddy-daughter moments (Gru, voiced by Steve Carell, dressing up as a "Gruzinklebell" princess for Agnes' birthday) — and of course, for Gru to find the girls a mommy. »Read Full Article

Heroine shines in Acacia's take on Austen's 'Persuasion'
Is there any Jane Austen heroine who sees more — and better — than 27-year-old Anne Elliot in "Persuasion"?
And yet among the quartet of Austen's major heroines — Anne as well as Elizabeth, Fanny and Emma — is there anyone who is less appreciated and noticed, by either the characters surrounding her or Austen's own devoted fans? »Read Full Article

Door Shakespeare excels with 'Comedy of Errors,' 'King Lear'
Baileys Harbor — Midway through the captivating and exceptional Door Shakespeare production of "The Comedy of Errors," we're given a moving, beautifully played moment during which we're reminded that this most farcical of the Bard's plays — in which identical twins are continually mistaken for one another — is also a dress rehearsal for the much deeper and darker "Twelfth Night."
Luciana, sister to the pretty but histrionic Adriana, tries to persuade Adriana's husband, Antipholus of Ephesus, to pay more attention to his wife rather than gadding about in the streets and cavorting with the local courtesan. »Read Full Article

Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later.Continue browsing
Schluter®-KERDI is a pliable, sheet-applied, bonded waterproof membrane and vapor retarder with limited crack-bridging capabilities. It is made of soft polyethylene, which is covered on both sides with a special fleece webbing to anchor the membrane in the thin-set mortar. KERDI was developed as a waterproofing membrane to be used in conjunction with ceramic and stone tile coverings. Tiles can be installed directly on KERDI using the thin-bed method. Other trowel-applied covering materials, such as plaster, can also be used.
1. The substrate must be clean, even, and load bearing. The thin-set mortar used for bonding KERDI must be appropriate for the substrate, and it must penetrate and engage the KERDI fleece. Generally, an unmodified thin-set mortar is used. Cut KERDI to size prior to application.
2. Apply thin-set mortar to the substrate using a 1/4" x 3/16" (6 x 5 mm) V-notched trowel or the KERDI-TROWEL, which features a 1/8" x 1/8" (3 x 3 mm) square-notched design (Note the open time of the mortar). Press KERDI fully into the bond coat. Work the KERDI into the mortar by applying pressure to the membrane with the flat side of the trowel (held at an angle) in smooth, diagonal sweeps. Air bubbles must be avoided.
3. Seams can be constructed by overlapping the edges of the KERDI 2" (5 cm) using unmodified thin-set mortar, or by abutting the edges and covering the joint with KERDI-BAND using an unmodified thin-set mortar.
4. For inside and outside corners, adhere pre-formed KERDI-KERECK-F corners. For floor/wall connections, use KERDI-BAND. Install KERDI-SEAL-PS pipe seals at showerhead, body sprays, etc. and KERDI-SEAL-MV at the mixing valve. As an alternative to KERDISEAL- PS/-MV, KERDI-FIX or other suitable sealant can be used to seal pipe protrusions and protect moisturesensitive solid backing panels at the mixing valve.
5. Connections to fixed building elements can be achieved by using KERDI, KERDI-BAND, or KERDI-FLEX in conjunction with KERDI-FIX, suitable trowel-applied waterproofing materials (such as urethane or similar), that require atmospheric moisture to cure, or other suitable sealing compounds.
6. KERDI shall be separated at existing expansion, structural, and flexible edge joints. Cover the joints with KERDI-FLEX. To allow for greater movement, the center section of the KERDI-FLEX can be tucked into the cavity of the expansion joint prior to bonding.
7. Once the entire membrane—with seams, corners, and connections—has been completely bonded, and therefore waterproofed, the covering may be applied.
Note: Water testing of the assembly
Prior to setting tile, wait 24 hours to allow for final set of the mortar before testing to ensure waterproof performance of the assembly at seams and connections.
8. For tile installations using the thin-bed method, apply unmodified thin-set mortar directly to the exposed KERDI surface and install the tiles, ensuring full coverage. For acid-resistant coverings, use an epoxy adhesive to set and grout the tile.
Connection to Schluter®-KERDI-DRAIN KERDI-DRAIN is a floor drain specifically designed to allow connections to KERDI or other bonded waterproof membranes, typically in shower applications. When adhering KERDI to KERDI-DRAIN, the membrane must be held back to the step in the fleeced bonding flange. Apply unmodified thin-set mortar to the bonding flange using a 1/4" x 3/16" (6 x 5 mm) V-notched trowel or the KERDI-TROWEL, which features a 1/8" x 1/8" (3 x 3 mm) square-notched design. Firmly press KERDI into the mortar with the flat side of the trowel to ensure 100% coverage and a watertight seal. When using the stainless steel KERDI-DRAIN bonding flange, KERDI is adhered to the flange with KERDI-FIX. The flange must be clean and free of grease or other contaminants prior to KERDI-FIX application.
Relevant industry standard guidelines for floor drains with integrated bonding flange include method B422 in the Tile Council of North America's (TCNA) Handbook for Ceramic, Glass and Stone Tile Installation and Method 326DR in the Terrazzo, Tile and Marble Association of Canada (TTMAC) Specification Guide 09300 Tile Installation Manual. Please contact Schluter®-Systems for the Schluter®-Shower System installation video and Floor Drains Technical Data Sheet.

Modelling and optimization of a pneumatic microfeeder system
Xue, Xiangdong, Bailey, Christopher, Turitto, Michele and Ratchev, Svetan (2009) Modelling and optimization of a pneumatic microfeeder system. International Journal for Simulation and Multidisciplinary Design Optimization, 3 (1). pp. 307-315. ISSN 1779-627X (Print), 1779-6288 (Online) (doi:10.1051/ijsmdo/2009003)Full text not available from this repository.
This paper presents modelling and design optimization of a microfeeder which, as part of a microassembly system, is used for contactless object delivery. The microfeeder consists of an array of microactuators which are controlled
by electrostatic actuation and used for maneuvering outcoming air jet for object hovering and delibery. The airflow behaviour in the microactuator is analysed by means of fluid mechanics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation from three aspects, theoretical analysis, initial design assessment, and design modifications. The focus is put on the basic types of the microfeeder structure and the effects of structural details to the systematic performance. The structural pattern of the microactuator for forming airflow nozzle is identified and two design plans are proposed as basic structure patterns of pneumatic microactuators. The optimized design numerically shows the ability of delivering objects. This paper analyses the flow distribution pattern in microactuators and points out a way for effective design of pneumatic microfeeder systems. The optimization strategy provided by the present paper has close relevance to the design and manufacture of pneumatic
microfeeder systems.
