@dandydanLocale: Cascadia
My wife and I want to do a longer hike in late October but I'm having a hard time finding a good trail in the area. We live in Whistler, BC.
My wife really wants to bring our dog (and I guess I do too because I don't want to pay $25/day for a kennel) which means that pretty much all provincial parks are out. Most National parks do allow dogs, but there aren't too many in the area (although we are willing to drive a decent distance).
One idea is something in Glacier National Park or one of the other national parks near the BC/Alberta border (Kootaney, Banff, Jasper, Yoho). There seems to be some good trails in the bigger parks (Banff, Jasper) but I'm a bit concerned how cold it's going to be in late October. These trails could be really cool, so I'm interested in hearing some feedback on how cold things will be and what some favorites are.
Besides these parks, the only long-ish trail I'm aware of that allows dogs is the Juan de Fuca trail on Vancouver island. That trail might be an option, but at 47km it's a bit short since we want to go for about a week and paying close to $200 round trip for the ferry (car + 2 people) sucks.
@acrosomeLocale: Back in the Front Range
No idea on hikes, but d@mn you for having the luck to live in Whistler… :o)

Hyderabad blasts: Police make little headway
Sources say that Mehtab provided explosive to Indian Mujahideen terrorist Yasin Bhatkal.
Hyderabad: Almost a week after twin blasts rocked Hyderabad, investigating agencies have not been able to collect more evidence and the progress to nab the culprits has been progressing very slowly. The investigators are still looking for an alleged terrorist Mehtab who allegedly provided explosives to carry out Hyderabad blasts.
Sources say that Mehtab provided explosive to Indian Mujahideen terrorist Yasin Bhatkal. Meanwhile, NIA teams have raided Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra but have not succeeded in finding any strong evidence.
At least 16 people were killed in a series of explosions on February 21 in Hyderabad's Dilsukh Nagar area. The two explosions took place in the Andhra Pradesh capital at around 7 pm.
Meanwhile, three days after twin blasts claimed 16 lives and injured 117 in Hyderabad, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday visited the injured in the hospital and urged people to "maintain calm in the hour of grief". Even as Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said evidence recovered from the blast sites were under examination, the National Investigation Agency questioned 12 men - believed to be members of the Lashkar-e-Toiba - arrested in Bangalore.

Amazing. I never thought I would find anything worth reading in Skeptic Magazine, but Robert Lawrence Kuhn has actually pulled together a fairly intelligent article entitled Why This Universe? Toward a Taxonomy of Possible Explanations (pdf document). In the article, Kuhn notes:
Since the 1970s, theists have invoked this fine-tuning argument as empirical evidence for a creator by asserting that there are only two explanations: God or chance. However to pose such a stark and simplistic choice is to construct a false and misleading dichotomy. Since the Anthropic Principle leads to multiple universes, a "multiverse," other possible explanations are made manifest. I have documented such explanations—a constellation of what I'll call "ultimate reality generators" in a kind of typology of cosmological conjecture. I'm sure there are more, or some could be subdivided, but generally the taxonomy can be structured with four overarching categories: One Universe Models, Multiple Universe Models, Nonphysical Causes, and Illusions. My claim is that the set of these four categories is universally exhaustive, meaning that whatever the true explanation of "Why This Universe?" it would have to be classified into one (or more) of these categories (irrespective of whether we ever discover or discern that true explanation).
Yet the set of the 27 possible explanations which compose the categories is not universally exhaustive nor is there practical hope of making it so. Therefore unless we can ever answer the "Why This Universe?" question with certainty and finality (a dubious prospect), there will be other explanations out there that cannot be logically excluded. Further, while it might seem tidy for these explanations to be mutually exclusive—meaning that no two can both be right—such simplicity cannot be achieved. The explanations, and their categories, can be combined in any number of ways—in series, in parallel, and/or nested.
The 27 possible explanations, or ultimate reality generators that follow, are based on criteria that are logically permissible, a logic that for some may seem lenient. I do not, however, confuse speculation with science. Logical possibilities should not be mistaken for scientific theories or even scientific possibilities. A physicist's speculations do not morph, as if by cosmological alchemy or professional courtesy, from metaphysics into established physics. That said, some of the more intriguing metaphysical possibilities are being proffered by physicists.
I provide scant analysis of the explanations; all are subject to withering attack from experts, as well they should be. And to the critique that the lines of the taxonomy are drawn too sharply, or that my explanations overlap, I can only empathize and encourage the critic to offer a more refined version.
What I do like about the article is that he gives a nice outline of 27 possible explanations for the existence of the universe that touches on many of the naturalistic arguments in a single place. I also like the fact that he recognizes that theistic arguments remain a distinct possibility. In section 3.1 he identifies a "Theistic Person" as the possible cause without the usual anti-theistic rants one normally reads when the possibility is brought up in skeptical forums. He notes:
3.1 Theistic Person. A Supreme Being who in Christian philosophy is portrayed as incorporeal, omnipotent, omniscient, perfectly free, perfectly good, necessarily existent and the creator of all things, and who is also a "person" with personlike characteristics such as beliefs, intents and purposes; a "divine being" (as defined by Richard Swinburne), a theistic God (as defended by Alvin Plantinga) with a "nature." In Judaic-Christian tradition, the existence-as-essence Name offered to Moses—"I am that I am." In Islamic philosophy, the concepts of Unity, the Absolute, Beyond-Being. In modern thought, God as underlying fundamental reality, entailing the meaning of universe and life (George Ellis);53 God as working through special divine action, interventionist or noninterventionist (Robert John Russell). The affirmative creative act of this theistic God may bring the universe into being by a creation from nothing (creatio ex nihilo), or may be a continuing creative sustenance of the universe (creatio continua), or both. A theistic explanation of ultimate reality is logically compatible with both One Universe and Multiverse Models.
So, for the first time ever, I recommend a reading of an article found in Skeptics magazine.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
How fast has the climate warmed in your state? The continental United States has seen an average temperature increase of 1.3 degrees over the past century. But warming rates vary widely from region to region and state to state, according to a new report from Climate Central, a climate research group. The 10 fastest-warming states are getting hotter 60 times faster than the 10 slowest-warming states—and Rhode Island is warming the fastest of all. That's right: our smallest state has had the fastest increase in average temperatures.
Although some states had a decrease in temperatures between 1912 to 2011, temperatures in all states have risen since 1970. And, as the report's authors explain, "no matter how much or how little a given state warmed over that 100-year period, the pace of warming in all regions accelerated dramatically starting in the 1970s." That timing coincides "with the time when the effect of greenhouse gases began to overwhelm the other natural and human influences on climate at the global and continental scales," the authors noted.
Here's a map of the 10 fastest- and slowest-warming states:
Scientists believe natural climate variability and atmospheric aerosols, which block incoming solar radiation, played a role in the different paces of change.

Rear axle alignment
After installing a new lift kit (2 1/2") and centering the steering. Did some measurements and found the rear axle to be off by 3/4" measuring form the forward spring eye center to the face of the axle tube (right side being 3/4" less than left). How close should this be? There was minimal center pin protrusion above the 2.5 deg aluminum axle shims.
Any comments?
I would get them as aligned as soon as possible. If one rear wheel leads the other it could pull to one side or the other depending on which wheel leads. In our modified race car, we purposely set one wheel leading to make the car turn left easier, depending on the track banking, but this is with locked rear axles. Your Jeep will dog-track as well.
Where did you measure from?
Measured from the center of the forward spring eye to the face of the axle tube.
If you're sure the center pin is seated and you're measuring to the same spot on each side of the axle, something is bent. Just for the hell of it, try taking off the wheels and measure to the center of the axle/hub from the center of the front frame bracket .

text: Buildings systems have historically been over-sized to minimize contractor/designer call-backs. It is widely recognized that this over-sizing leads to excessive chiller and boiler cycling with an attendant reduction in efficiency. The same design approach routinely leads to reduced efficiencies throughout the building systems. The same mentality pervades the operation of building systems. This customarily increases utility costs by at least 20%. This presentation will present specific examples of the deleterious effects of the "more is better" approach by examining the impact of too much differential pressure across a control valve, too much supply air, and an over-sized pump in a thermal storage system.

Having recently moved to Balham I thought that I'd give Eastern Empire a try as I love Indian cuisine.
On arrival I was very welcomed and recommended great dishes that were cooked to order...it was all delicious, generously portioned and not expensive so an all round treat!
I recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for the authentic Indian with friendly staff and tasty food!

How do I configure CPU utilization monitoring and memory monitoring?

for now, to my knowledge, this is not possible. look at:
if these tools got integrated all possible monitoring would be present, so spice the topic up to get it under attention of the developpers and they might extend Spiceworks with this feature in future releases.

This is the corner of my 1st completed baby quilt that I sold. Note the heart was machine embroidered and sewing so the heart would rag.
Great job! Love the colors. I guess I'm going to have to invest in an embroidery machine soon. My husband will have a heart attack but I'm going to start on my reasoning to him now. Thanks for sharing.
The heart is a nice addition to the quilt.
How adorable. I like the rag effect on the heart. Great idea
Ooohhh...what a pretty name for a pretty quilt.

Neopost IJ-70 Printer Review
Expert review of the Neopost IJ-70 printer 11 January 2013
The Neopost IJ-70 automatic mail processing system is an excellent solution for mailing needs. The IJ-70 franking machine offers accurate postage fees and it can handle 200 departments for mail accounting. The Neopost IJ-70 postage meter is customisable to allow users to put in desired texts and images for franking. Aside from delivering high-quality envelope texts, this unit also has a built-in label dispenser. The integrated scale weighs are not standard to the unit.
Measuring 33 x 11.5 x 18 inches, the Neopost IJ-70 inkjet printer is compact and features a handy and organised control panel with a monochrome LCD display and function buttons. The Neopost IJ-70 franking system has an autofeed for envelopes and has an impressive speed of 150 lpm. A direct modem connectivity is also offered for secure postage meter refills. The IJ-70 printer requires a red Neopost 300239 ink cartridge to print reliably.
Offices can save a lot of money and time with the Neopost IJ-70 franking machine. This unit is accurate and delivers professional output. It even comes with a handy software and connectivity to PCs that can export reports and data. Aside from being quick, the Neopost IJ70 mailing system is also reliable and uses high-yield consumables. Users can make advertising dies as well as custom images, logos, and slogans with the Neopost IJ-70.
The weighing scale for parcels is additional cost and the Neopost IJ-70 digital mailing machine is already a bit pricey itself. The IJ 70 is designed for mailing purposes only and can handle a limited number of media.

The Olympic rings make up the iconic symbol for the Olympic games. The colors chosen for this image aren't just random, but in fact have significant meaning. Every flag of every participating nation has at least one of the five colors of the rings, or the white of the symbol's background.
A common misconception is that the rings' colors represent the different parts of the world, but that's actually not the case. The symbol first made its appearance at the top of a letter written by Pierre de Coubertin, where he colored and drew the rings by hand. De Coubertin used the colors he did so that the Olympics could represent all of the participating nations in the year he drew it, 1913. The rings are all looped together and connected to represent unity among the nations. Learn more about the flag, and the Olympics games, with these videos.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 239,192 filed Mar. 29, 1972, now abandoned.
This invention relates to ground-based flight simulation apparatus having a dummy cockpit including flight controls and flight instruments and an associated flight computer for continuously computing values relating to a simulated flight. Further, a visual display is provided simulating, for trainee air crew in the cockpit, an actual view of terrain over which a simulated flight is taking place. The present invention relates particularly to this visual display.
Normally in such apparatus the cockpit is moved to reproduce the accelerations occurring during a simulated flight. The present invention will normally be used with such apparatus, but, as will be understood from the description which follows, it is not necessary to move the cockpit in order to put the invention into practice.
Ground-based flight simulation apparatus of the type described is known in which the visual display is provided by a closed-circuit television system having a camera which views and is moved in relation to a scale model of the terrain and a television receiver which projects an image of the terrain scene viewed so that it is visible to the trainee crew. The present invention may be used particularly with such apparatus and generally with apparatus having a television system visual display.
A problem with visual display systems is to simulate realistically the visual effect of ground fog, mist, low cloud and like atmospheric conditions.
The object of the present invention is to provide a television-based visual display system which gives improved simulation of such atmospheric conditions.
Accordingly, the invention provides ground-based flight simulation apparatus including a dummy cockpit and associated flight computer and visual display means including a television system for producing a scanned image in a picture area visible from said flight deck, circuit means controlling the line and frame scanning of said image for defining first and second boundaries spaced apart on said scanned image, controlled-gain signal amplifier means for providing a full detail visual image in the picture area on one side of the first boundary, zero detail visual image in the picture area on the other side of the second boundary and progressively reduced detail visual image from the first boundary line to the second boundary line and circuit means controlled from said flight computer for inclining said boundaries in accordance with computed aircraft roll and for displacing said boundaries in accordance with computed aircraft pitch.
It will be appreciated that the embodiment of the invention defined above provides for the simulation of either low cloud or ground fog conditions. For low-cloud conditions, there will be a sky area in which visibility is zero, a ground area in which visibility is clear and an intermediate area of visibility increasing downwardly. For ground fog conditions, there will be a ground area in which visibility is zero, a sky area in which visibility is clear and an intermediate area of visibility increasing upwardly.
When both conditions are simulated together, there will be four boundaries defining a single area of clear visibility, both sky and ground areas of zero visibility and two area of transitional visibility.
In such an embodiment of the invention, there are provided circuit means for defining first, second, third and fourth boundaries spaced apart on said scanned image, controlled-gain signal amplifier means for providing a full-detail visual image in the picture area between the second and third boundary lines, zero-detail visual image in the picture area lying outside the first and fourth boundaries and progressively reduced detail visual image from the second boundary to the first boundary and from the third boundary to the fourth boundary and circuit means controlled from said flight computer for inclining all said boundaries in accordance with computed aircraft roll and for displacing said first and second and said third and fourth boundaries in accordance with computed aircraft pitch.
In order that the invention may be readily put into practice, one embodiment will now be described in detail, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a diagram representing a rectangular television raster and showing a cloud-base or ground fog boundary;
FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of a variable-gain signal amplifier;
FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c are adjacent sheets of drawing showing a schematic circuit diagram illustrating an embodiment of the invention using a three colour channel natural-colour television system;
FIG. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram of an analog And gate such as is used in the circuit of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing image visibility along an arbitrary vertical line across the visual display picture area.
In FIG. 1, the rectangle A, B, C, D represents the picture area and format of the television visual display which is visible from the flight deck of a flight simulator. The positive direction of line scan and of frame scan is shown by the arrows x and y, respectively.
The centre of the picture area is shown by the point O and the vertical axis of the flight deck through the point O is represented by the line O, Y.
The horizon shown in the visual display is represented by the line H, H' and the terrain vertical through point O is represented by the line V, V'. Thus, in FIG. 1, the attitude of the aircraft simulated is pitched upwards and with right-hand roll angle φ.
Cloud or ground fog to be simulated is, in these examples, characterised by two boundaries between which there is progressive decrease of visibility. Before the first boundary, there is clear visibility and beyond the second boundary there is zero visibility. In FIG. 1, the two boundaries are represented by the lines E, F, G and J, K, L.
Thus, referring to FIG. 1 and to cloud conditions, all the area C, D, H, H' represents zone or area of clear visibility, that is the entire ground zone or area C, D, H, H' has clear visibility as has the sky zone or area H', H, E, F, G. The area G, F, E, J, K, L is the transition area of diminishing visibility in the upwards direction and the picture area L, K. J. A, B is an area of zero visibility.
Considering, now FIG. 1 and ground fog conditions, the picture area L, K. J, A, B is an area of clear visibility. The area G, F, E, J, K. L is a transition area of diminishing visibility in the downwards direction. The area C, D, E, F, G is an area of zero visbility so that, in particular, nothing on the ground area C, D, H, H' is visible.
The visual effect provided by the present invention is the normal clear visual display detail up to the first transition boundary and zero visual detail beyond the second transition boundary. Between the two boundaries, visual detail is progressively diminished from the first boundary towards the second.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, using a colour television display, the area obscured by cloud, or ground fog as the case may be, has the characteristic hue associated with cloud or ground fog, respectively.
FIG. 2 shows one form of variable gain amplifier of which a number are used in the circuit arrangement of FIG. 3.
The variable gain amplifier of FIG. 2 has an amplifier 71 having an input terminal 72, connected by way of a resistor 73, and an output terminal 74. Negative feedback is provided by way of a T-network including a series connected pair of resistors 75 and 76. A field effect transistor, F.E.T., 77, or equivalent solid state device, has one end connected to the junction of resistors 75 and 76 and the other end connected to baseline. The gate electrode is connected to a terminal 79 to which a gain control potential is applied.
FIG. 3 shows a preferred form of the invention. In the circuit arrangement there shown, a sine/cosine resolver 1 has an output representative of aircraft roll angle φ from the associated flight computer at input terminal 2. D.C. outputs corresponding to the cosine and the sine of roll angle O are provided at output terminals 3 and 4, respectively, and supplied to a "Shape of mist" function generator 5, shown within the broken line rectangle.
Alternatively, the cos φ and sin φ inputs may be derived directly from the flight computer, if they are there available.
The function generator 5 comprises an integrator 6 having the cos φ input at terminal 3 and the television scan frame synchronizing pulse input at terminal 7. An integrator 8 has the sin φ input at terminal 4 and the scan line synchronising pulse input at terminal 9.
An integrator 12 has five inputs by way of scaling resistors 11 from the sources shown and from a y terminal 10.
The output of integrator 12 is supplied to an "Upper cloud" variable gain amplifier 13 and a "Ground mist" variable gain amplifier 14. The outputs of the amplifiers 13 and 14 are combined in an analogue "And" gate, that is a voltage controlled attenuator, 15.
The output from the analogue "And" gate 15 at terminal 16 is supplied to "Green" "Red" and "Blue" pairs of variable gain amplifiers 17, 18; 19, 20 and 21, 22, respectively.
The Green, Red and Blue channel signals of the television visual display, derived from the colour television camera viewing a scale model of the terrain being flown over in this example, are supplied to input terminals 68, 69, and 70, respectively.
The pairs of amplifiers 17, 18; 19, 20 and 21, 22, provide inputs of summing amplifiers 23, 24 and 25, respectively. These summing amplifiers provide output signals to the "Modified Green", "Modified Red" and "Modified Blue" output terminals 26, 27 and 28, respectively.
Manually set-in data is provided by an Instructor's console shown generally at 30. This console has manually set potentiometers, as exemplified by the inset diagram 31. Each potentiometer is connected across a D.C. supply and has an output between the positive supply terminal and the potentiometer slider. Ten D.C. outputs are thus provided representing values of the following conditions:
______________________________________32 Relative Visibility of Cloud:33 Relative Visibility of Ground;34 Colour and Brightness of Cloud - Day;35 Colour and Brightness of Cloud - Dusk;36 Colour and Brightness of Cloud - Night;37 Colour and Brightness of Ground Mist - Day;38 Colour and Brightness of Ground Mist - Dusk;39 Colour and Brightness of Ground Mist - Night;40 Height of Cloud;41 Depth of Ground Mist.______________________________________
These values appear at terminals 32 to 41, respectively, as indicated by the prefixed numeral in the above table.
The six D.C. values appearing at terminals 34 to 39, inclusive, are supplied to a "Bright-up" logic network shown generally at 42. Thus, the values at terminals 34 to 39 are supplied to analog "And" gates 43 to 48, respectively, together with the output signal from variable gain amplifier 14 of the function generator 5, which appears at terminals 49 and is supplied to the gates 43 to 48 by way of a comparator 50.
The outputs of the gate pairs 43, 44; 45, 46 and 47, 48 are supplied to analog "And" gates 51, 52 and 53 respectively. The outputs of these latter gates appear at terminals 54, 55 and 56, respectively, and are fed to the varible gain amplifiers 18, 20 and 22, respectively, of the Green, Red and Blue colour channels respectively.
The output values from the Instructor's console 30 appearing at terminals 30, 32 and 40, 41 are combined with data derived from the associated flight computer in order to provide the required input data to the function generator 5. Thus, an "Aircraft height" D.C. signal generator 57 and an "Aircraft pitch" D.C. signal generator 58 derive input values from the associated flight computer at inputs 59 and 60, respectively, and supply output values to terminals 61 and 62, respectively.
A "Relative Visibility" summing amplifier 63 receives inputs from terminals 32 and 33 and supplies output signals at terminals 64 and 65.
The signals at all terminals 61, 62, 64 and 65 are supplied to "Upper Cloud" and "Ground Mist" summing amplifiers 66 and 67, which provide output signals to the summing amplifiers 13 and 14, respectively, of function generator 5.
Before describing the practical functioning of the arrangement of FIG. 3 in detail, it will assist understanding to explain the theoretical requirements of the system.
Considering FIG. 1, again, the two boundaries E, F, G. and J. K. L. are parallel and are to be rotated about the picture centre O as a function of the aircraft simulated roll, that is, in synchronism with the television camera roll.
The boundaries E, F, G. which is the effective `start` of the decreasing visibility, is to be moved across the screen. The aircraft attitude values which produce changes of height and pitch, are used to compute a correct function to locate line E, F, G.
The rate of change of the visibility within the transition, region, G, E, J, L, is to be controlled by external control signals from the Instructor's console.
The cloud (or fog) colour and the colour intensity are set by the blank levels of the Red, Green and Blue signals in the cloud area.
Ground fog is similarly controlled as a simple inversion. Both conditions can be produced simultaneously, if required, when four boundary lines will be involved.
The considerations for deriving a function to provide a rotating boundary line are as follows:
Considering the image area A, B, C, D of FIG. 1 and the modulation of the image in three rectangular axes, then:
x = horizontal (line) direction
y = vertical (frame) direction
z = video gain (modulation).
If the full scale line and frame directions are unity, then the centre of the picture will have co-ordinates (1/2,1/2,0). If the origin of the co-ordinate axes are shifted to the top left hand corner, A of FIG. 1, then:
x' = x - 1/2
y' = y - 1/2
z' = z
Rotating the co-ordinate axes about the z-axis by an angle φ gives:
x" = x cos φ - y sin φ
y" = x sin φ + y cos φ
z" = z
If the video gain z is varied from 0 at y = 1/2 to full gain 1 at y = -1/2 with no variation along the x-axis, the equation of the plane is then:
z = 1/2 - y
If the slope of the plane is to be variable, but with the same y-axis cross-over point, the equation has the form:
z = m (1/2 - y)
where m = slope or gradient
If the required zero crossing point of the y-axis is variable and has a value y1, then:
z = m(y1 - y).
If this plane is now translated to co-ordinates (1/2,1/2,0) and rotated through angle φ about the z-axis the transformed equation becomes:
z = m[y1 - (x - 1/2) sin φ - (y - 1/2) cos φ]
The generation of the function to produce the required visibility simulation is accomplished in the system described with reference to FIG. 3.
Referring now to FIG. 3, the integrator 8 receives a D.C. input proportional to sin φ, where φ is the aircraft roll angle as stated. The television line synchronising pulse is applied to the integrator clamp at terminal 9. The output from the integrator 8 is a linear sawtooth, where amplitude is proportional to sin φ.
If the line time base (or sweep) is given by x = KL t, then the output from the integrator 8 is proportional to x sin φ.
Smilarly the integrator 6 has a D.C. input proportional to cos φ and the television frame synchronising pulse is fed to the integrator clamp at terminal 7. Hence the sawtooth output from integrator 6 has an amplitude proportional to cos φ. If the frame time-base is given by y = KF t, then the output from the integrator 6 is proportional to y cos φ.
The outputs from the integrators 6 and 7 are summed with sin φ/cos φ and y1 in the amplifier 12. This produces the required function:
z = m[y1 - (x - 1/2) sin φ - (y - 1/2) cos φ]
The video level is required to vary between zero up to full positive gain. The amplifier 13 has clamps which operate at 0 Volt and at the maximum video amplitude. Also, the gain m is set by a feedback network which can be varied.
This is conveniently achieved by using a F.E.T. device in the arm of a T-network, feedback arrangement, as described earlier with reference to FIG. 2.
If a ground fog effect is required, the slope is opposite to that of cloud, or "sky fog". A second channel thus has to be provided with an inverter and variable gain summing amplifier 14. These have, separately, controlled offset value y2 and slope m2.
These two functions are then added in an analogue `AND` gate 15 with the line blanking pulses. The latter is necessary to give a fixed `blank` level for the clamping circuits to operate on to prevent bright-up during the line fly-back.
The resultant control signal is then used to vary the gain of (i) the video bright-up channels 17, 19 and 21, and (ii) cloud (or fog) bright-up channels 18, 20 and 22.
Referring again to FIG. 1, and considering cloud conditions:
i. In the area C, D, E, G, we have full video gain and zero cloud/fog gain;
ii. In the area G, E, J, L, the video gain is progressively reduced whilst the cloud/fog gain increases; and
iii. In the area L, J, A, B, the video gain is zero and the cloud/fog gain is maximum.
The video and cloud/fog bright-up signals for Red, Green and Blue channels are then mixed in the three amplifiers 23, 24 and 25 and are applied to the television visual system via output driving amplifiers; supplied from terminals 26, 27 and 28.
An additional feature provided in the system of FIG. 3 allows the hue and colour intensity of the cloud/fog to be controlled. The controlling signals, D.C. voltages, for each colour cloud and ground fog are fed by way of analogue gating circuits 43 to 48, inclusive. A comparator 50 switches its output as soon as a fog level signal is detected at its input. The outputs of the switched gates 43 to 48 are then fed to mixer gates 51, 52 and 53, inclusive, and then to the bright-up amplifiers at terminals 54, 55 and 56.
FIG. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram of an analogue "And" gate, such as is used for the elements 15, 43 to 48 and 51 to 53 of the arrangement of FIG. 3. The reference numerals shown correspond particularly to the "And" gate 15 of the function generator 5 of FIG. 3.
A pair of input terminals 13' and 14' receive signals, respectively, from the "Upper cloud" variable gain amplifier 13 and "Ground mist" variable gain amplifier 14. Each input includes a series diode 81 and 82, respectively. The input signals are referenced to an input "Black level" determined by a potentiometer 83, 84 connected between the +15 volt line 85 and the -15 volt line 86. The input signal line is connected to the potentiometer tap, by way of diode 87, and to the base of a transistor 88.
A "Maximum brightness" level is determined by a potentiometer 90, 91 connected between the +15 volt line 85 and the zero volt line 89. A diode 92 is connected to the potentiometer tap and by a resistor 95 to the zero volt line 89. The function of diode 92 and resistor 95 is connected to further diodes 93 and 94 and to the base of transistor 96.
Diode 93 is connected from the emitter output of transistor 88. Diode 94 is connected to the emitter of a transistor 99.
The emitter of transistor 96 is connected by load 98 to the -15 volt line 86 and, by way of terminal 97, to supply a gain control voltage to the radio multiplier of the associated television system.
The transistor 99 has its base connected to the slider of a variable potentiometer 101 to enable the output "Black level" to be preset thereby.
The potentiometer 101 is connected in the collector circuit of a transistor 102 between the +15 volt line 85 and the zero volt line 89. Blanking pulses are provided at terminal 103 which is connected to the base of transistor 102.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the "Cloud" and "Mist of Fog" image levels at the output of the analog "And" gate 15 of FIG. 4 under conditions of simulated low cloud and simulated ground mist or fog. The right hand side of the diagram represents the top of the picture area A, B of FIG. 1 and the left hand side represents the bottom of the picture area C, D of FIG. 1. The "Maximum brightness" level, determined by potentiometer 90, 91 of FIG. 4, is shown as the base of the diagram and the "Black" level, determined by potentiometer 101 of FIG. 4 is shown as the top. These levels refer to the "Cloud" and "Mist or Fog" signal levels and are the inverse of the image levels of the full-detail visual display.
Thus, FIG. 5 shows four boundary lines referenced K, F, K' and F', respectively, from the top of the picture area to the bottom, defining a central area of clear visibility F, K', an upper area A, B to K obscured by cloud, a transitional area of improving visibility from K to F, a traditional area of worsening visibility from K' to F' and a lower area F' to CD obscured by ground mist or fog.
The blanking pulses at terminal 103 have a Mark-Space configuration giving a Space between the picture area limits A, B and C, D and a Mark outside the picture area.

After Pike orders the Enterprise to the Talos Star Group, time warp factor seven, Mendez orders the screen off. He accuses Spock of somehow manufacturing the footage they're watching, which Spock, with Pike's help, refutes. It is actually what happened 13 years ago. Spock says that after viewing the evidence, if Mendez still wants to return to the Starbase, he will release the ship, but Mendez, incensed, says Spock is in no position to bargain. He votes that the playback be stopped; Kirk votes against and Mendez declares a deadlock; but he forgets that Pike is still there and a member of the trial board; he votes that the playback continue, and so it does, after...Captain's log, supplemental. Mr. Spock, on trial for mutiny, has forced the court to accept unusual evidence. On our monitor screen, the voyage of Captain Pike and the Enterprise to the one forbidden world in all the galaxy.
After Pike's been taken underground by the Talosians, and the crew try (and fail) to blast the rock face open with their phasers, the screen turns off automatically, with Uhura radioing in from the bridge with a call for Mendez, a 'fleet signal.' They've detected that the Enterprise is receiving signals from Talos IV, in violation of general orders! ComSol (Command Solutions?) orders Mendez to relieve Kirk of command and take command himself, and return the ship to Starbase 11 so Spock may face the full weight of Starfleet justice. Spock 'respectfully declines' Mendez's order to release the Enterprise to manual control, and Mendez simply states that Spock has earned the consequences.The yeoman assigned as Clerk exits, McCoy and Scotty slowly guide Pike in his chair out, and Spock looks absolutely devastated. Kirk asks if Spock has lost his mind, and Spock pleads with Kirk not to stop him or let Mendez stop him. "It's your career and Captain Pike's life. You must see the rest of the transmission!" Dutifully, Kirk orders the security guard present to take Spock to the brig; they exit, and "TO BE CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK" Kirk walks in solitude, contemplatively around the briefing room, laying a hand on the court recorder computer, Face Palming briefly, then finally walks out as the scene fades...All tropes relating to the pilot episode itself should be placed on its page.
Contains examples of:
- And I Must Scream: Apparently despite his horrific injuries Pike's intellect is fully intact, but he's imprisoned in a body that no longer works and cannot communicate fully. He is well aware of the situation and repeatedly tries to order Spock to stop to no avail.Kirk: He keeps saying "no".McCoy: No to what?
- Bling of War: Kirk has a unique stone/amulet/pendant to the left of his ridiculous colorful triangles.
- Clip Show: Averted to a degree since they are clips of something we hadn't seen before.
- I Did What I Had to Do: Spock's apparently simple motive for abducting Pike and hijacking the ship.
- Jerk Ass: Commodore Mendez, who accuses Spock of fabricating the footage throughout, but chooses to go through with watching it for Pike's sake. Though at the end when he relieves Kirk and (implicitly) orders Spock to the brig, he's Just Following Orders.
- Loophole Abuse:
- Spock says that he wants to hold the court-martial against him immediately. When Captain Kirk says that they need three command officers and only two (himself and Commodore Mendez) are present, Spock points out that Fleet Captain Pike is still listed as being on active duty.
- After Mendez objects to the presentation of evidence from an unknown source, Spock points out that he is allowed to introduce it in response to a direct question about why he did something. Lampshaded when Mendez grumbles that Spock maneuvered the court into asking him that question.
- Lotus-Eater Machine: What the Talosians set up for their zoo, to keep themselves entertained and their subjects pacified; also, though we only begin to see this motive in this part, it's heavily implied in dialogue that it's what Spock wishes to return Pike to, that he may leave the confines of his broken body and let his mind run free.
- Magical Security Cam: Actually subverted, as Kirk protests that the footage from "The Cage" clearly isn't from security recordings, which is explained in Part 2.
- Once for Yes, Twice for No: The only form of communication left to the injured Captain Pike.
- Tractor Beam: Used to bring Kirk's shuttle aboard after he deliberately runs out the fuel to force Spock to stop for him.
- You Are in Command Now: Spock fakes a message placing him in command of the Enterprise. When Kirk and Mendez catch up to him, he turns over operational command to Lieutenant Hansen and then surrenders to Dr. McCoy (the senior officer present).
- You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Even Kirk thinks Spock is out of his mind. Spock replies, "Jim, don't stop me." Justified as a court martial for mutiny is pretty serious.

Roller-Blading to Ice Skating
Just curious, does developing techniques on rollerblades end up transfering to the ice? I'm asking because the nearest rink is about half an hour away, and the only way I get any skating done is by roller blading around the neighborhood. I was wondering if its worth it, or if I'm getting nothing out of it. Any ideas?
More than likely just stamina. You're not going to learn how to hockey stop properly, it's a lot easier to balance on rubber than it is on metal/ice. Probably other things I haven't mentioned here.
I'd say figure out how much it means for you to want to play on ice. I drive 50 mins each way to one of the best rinks in the country, due to the quality of the ice there. Other than that, closest one to me is about 20 mins. Have to make the sacrifice if you want to play.
Thanks for the input.
And as for driving to the rinks, I'd definitely drive an hour a day for skating, if I could. ;D
But thats kind of what I figured. Thanks anaways, though.
It's better than doing nothing at all. Use both.
If you're looking to improve basic forward strides, crossovers, conditioning, speed, then it's a decent tool.
Stops, edge use, transitions, etc for the most part are different.
I went from playing ice to adding roller as a past time, I can do backwards crossovers on roller but not on ice and can transition easier too, cant stop with roller though haha :P
Once a week + 3 X on the roller blades and you will improve a lot faster.
I can't stop either in roller :) , but no trouble at all on ice.
I feel like everytime I play roller hockey, it always takes me a few shifts to get back to skating normally on the ice...lately I haven't played roller due to that.
I work that out in the warmup with a hard skate, some stop drills, and a bunch of 180 transitions.
Get a set of sprungs. Never worry about it again.
I the guys at hfboards have come to the conclusion (from previous threads) that the major difference between ice and roller is the use of edges in ice hockey. On ice hockey you have edges that give you a bit of lateral movement, which changes the way you turn and stop, so this is the biggest adjustment you will have to make
Also shooting a ball is similar to shooting a puck, but you will have to re-learn the wrist shot when you first start. Here is an article I wrote about switching from shooting a ball to shooting a puck I wrote it for a roller hockey blog, so if you like roller hockey then you might want to dig through that site, he has some good posts about roller hockey.
To summarize the article the difference is caused because of the difference in shape, weight, and material. With a ball you can do a quick snap, with the blade left upright, and you will get enough power on the ball. The ball is lighter, so it will be easier to get a hard shot, the ball is round so you don't need any special wrist flicking action to get it elevated, and it is hollow so it kind of "rebounds" off the stick when you shoot it, helping increase the shot speed.
With a puck there are a bunch of ways to shoot it, but the way that gives you the most powerful shot involves drawing the puck back, pulling it accross your body, and shooting. If you were to try that same technique with a ball it would almost always roll under your blade.
Yeah...your biggest benefit is gonna be conditioning. Inline skating can help, just try not to pick your feet up too much or you won't be very efficient when gliding on the ice. You can really develop your stick handling on the street though so be sure to practice that.

Chapter One: ObsessionMature
Julietrielle Agnos Montgomery constantly gets a feeling that she doesn't belong. When she discovers that she's actually from a fantasy world and possibly the key to its survival, she and an unsuspecting ally get thrown into a chain of events that change everyone's lives forever.
1. Obsession
I have three memories of my father.
Julietrielle Agnos Montgomery pushed roughly through the crowded halls of Worthington High School to her last class of the day.
The first, I am standing in my living room. I am four years old. He tells me that he wishes he could stay with me, but he has to get back. There's a war going on. My mother tells him that there's always a war going on, but he doesn't say anything. He just leaves.
Shoved against a locker, she tried to catch the eye of the self-absorbed jock responsible. He finally looked at her and cringed at the venomous glare she sent his way. She touched her face tenderly. The skin was warm to the touch, irritated from being slammed against the combination lock on the violently yellow lockers that lined the hall.
The second is nowhere near as vivid. All I remember is a shower of black feathers, and his kind smile.
She readjusted the bag on her shoulder and slipped inside the next classroom, hurriedly claiming the closest desk to the door that she saw.
The third is the one that makes the least amount of sense.
Her geography professor, Mr. Nielson, stepped into the room. His eyes glazed over the chair that Juliet was sitting in, but instead of acknowledging her presence, he treated her as if she were invisible. She smiled gently to herself, knowing that it was working. The teachers at Worthington High School couldn't pick on her - she always had the right answer, no matter when they tried to catch her off guard.
It's so hard to process that it makes me dizzy when I think about it.
The rest of the class filed into the room in small intervals, one or two arriving after the tardy bell had rang. Mr. Nielson shuffled some papers around on the desk and began calling roll.
The only thing I ever remember is this horrible purple light, like I'm losing myself...
The teacher finished calling out the names and picked up a stack of papers that looked suspiciously like the essays they turned in last Friday. Juliet sunk a little lower in her chair when Mr. Nielson finally looked at her. She felt confused, as she usually aced everything in that class, but the look he gave her said otherwise.
And then it happens all over again...
Mr. Nielson started handing out the papers to various students, some of them handing the essays back to their correct owner. He slowly made his way across the classroom.
The feeling that I always get every day at this school...
He stopped in front of her desk, looking between her and the paper and then back again.
Like I've done this before. Like I'm missing something. Something important.
He dropped the stapled stack of paper onto her desk.
Something that could change everything.
Juliet dropped her eyes to the thickly outlined letter on the front page and then looked back up incredulously at her teacher.
"An 'F'?"
"I want you to stay after class to talk about this, Miss Montgomery."
"How did I get an 'F'?" She pressed. "I'm your star student. I've never gotten anything less than a 100 in this class."
"If you wanted full marks, Miss Montgomery, then you shouldn't have tried to make a fool of me. I know better."
"What are you talking about?"
Mr. Nielson peered down skeptically through his thin, rectangular glasses. "See me after class."
A couple of giggles rippled through the room as Mr. Nielson returned to the front of the class to begin the day's lesson. Juliet didn't pay attention to a single thing, flipping back and forth through her essay. There were no markings - no underlines in red pen, no comments scribbled in the margins. The only thing that covered up her carefully formulated report was the obscenely large letter 'F' on the front page.
And still, when Mr. Nielson called on her, she had the correct answer.
He shook his head, confused, and returned to the lecture, not bothering to call on her through the rest of the class. When the bell rang, there was a flurry of activity as the other students gathered up there things, shoved it into various backpacks, and left the class room, excited that their school day was finally over. Juliet was left sitting there, still staring, brow furrowed, at the only failing grade she had ever received.
Mr. Nielson took his time about addressing her. He seemed reluctant about doing so, as if he were frightened of the poor girl. He shuffled slowly across the room.
"Miss Montgomery?"
She didn't respond - she just kept flipping back and forth through the seven pages of her hard work.
She still didn't acknowledge him.
Juliet's head jerked upward and she glared at him. "Never address me by my full first name."
"I apologize, but I needed to get your attention."
"What is wrong with this paper?" Juliet asked sharply.
"Everything is wrong with that paper."
She shook her head, flipping through the pages and back more quickly now. "You didn't cross out a single thing. You didn't underline unnecessary sentences or comment on any of my theories and facts. You did nothing but mar the front of it with a red marker."
"It was very well written."
"Then what's wrong with it?" She snapped.
The corner of his mouth curved upward into a mocking smile. "The city you wrote about doesn't exist."
The incessant turning of pages stopped. "Excuse me?"
"I thought maybe, at first, it was a place I just hadn't heard of," continued Mr. Nielson, looking a little frightened now. "But I searched every map, every encyclopedia, and every reliable website I could think of. The city of Taln does not exist. There is no pirate city on the south western coast of the Great Sea. There is no country called Eldias."
"I'm sorry. What?"
"I said -"
"I heard what you said."
He sat down slowly in the desk beside hers. "You may rewrite the paper and give it to me tomorrow. It will start at an 80, but it's better than a zero."
"Juliet, I understand how you're feeling, but you're the one who wrote this completely fictitious paper in the first place."
"It isn't fictitious," she stated angrily. "I spent hours reading through my mother's old history books - you're not the only one who appreciates geography, Mr. Nielson. I'm telling you, Eldias and Taln and all of the people who live there are real."
He sighed. "I cannot give you credit for fiction and carefully formulated lies."
"I'll bring in the books tomorrow. I'll show you everything I used. It's real."
He stared at her skeptically.
"Fine," he said, exasperated. He stood back up. "If you can bring in these books to show me tomorrow I'll give you full credit. Otherwise, I have no choice but to keep the zero in the grade book."
Juliet nodded and quickly gathered her things, grateful for the chance to show him that she was telling the truth. It was rare that she ever pulled for grades - one zero in a sea of hundreds was not going to kill her average - but for some reason she felt as though she needed to prove herself. For some reason she couldn't place, the existence of this distant country called Eldias was extremely important to her.
As she walked through the now nearly empty halls towards the front lobby, Juliet fished through her bag for her headphones. She slipped the small ear buds in and turned on her mp3 player, blasting the first song she could find. She slipped the small device into her pocket and kept her eyes downward at the floor.
When she reached the lobby, she refused to look at those who had been in her geography class – those who now watched her with lingering stares. She refused to allow the incident to bother her more than, as she hated to admit, it did.
"Juliet!" she heard a male voice calling. She glanced upward and instantly regretted it, grimacing at the sight of the tall figure running towards her. She tried to turn her music up louder and continued walking. It was disappointing to find that it was already as loud as was possible.
"Juliet! Wait!" called the boy. She shook her head, shaking out her curly black hair, and tried to shove past a crowd of people blocking a side hall out to the parking lot. Juliet was not fast enough. The tall, gangly boy skidded to a halt in front of her, which caused her to run into him, her belongings clattering to the floor and her headphones ripping painfully away from her ears. He dropped to the floor right after them, trying to gather everything quickly.
"Shit, Juliet, I'm sorry. I didn't mean…"
"You never mean to, Nigel," she replied, resigning to herself that conversation was, at this point, inevitable.
He straightened up, staring at the essay that had slipped out of her bag.
"Hey, that's mine!" She complained, stretching up on her toes to take it away from him, but he held up a hand, looking it over. She sighed. Trying to yank it from him was a pointless gesture to begin with – he was at least an entire foot taller than she.
"Where did you get this information?" he asked seriously.
Juliet was confused. "What are you talking about?"
Nigel said nothing, handing her the still-open backpack. Juliet slung it over her shoulder. She looked at him quizzically.
"What do you know about that place?"
He shook his head. He read through it rapidly, clearly not from mere curiosity regarding her failing grade.
He finished reading and handed her back the paper. "Where did you get this information?" he repeated.
"Out of my mother's old history books – why? Do you believe me? Do you know of it, too?"
Nigel took a moment to process the information. "I was just wondering," he said, shrugging. "It sounds like a very interesting place."
Juliet continued to stare at him. She realized that, though he tried at nonchalance, he was hiding something. She hastily shoved the paper back in her bag.
"Did you have a good day?"
"You mean aside from failing my geography paper? Yeah, it was wonderful."
Nigel rolled his eyes. "You're never going to tell me anything about yourself, are you?"
"Why would I?" Juliet asked, sneering. She began walking away. She hoped Nigel wouldn't follow, but to no avail. "You're nosey and hardly know me, and yet you insist on basically stalking me every afternoon. I promise you, Nigel, I'm not some great mystery to figure out."
He shrugged. "You may think that, but I see otherwise."
She stopped suddenly, turning towards him. "I don't care what is it you see, Nigel. I'm not interested."
"I know that."
"Then why are you still here?"
He hesitated a moment, choosing his answer carefully. "Because I am interested, Juliet. And that paper of yours gives me another reason to be."
"I don't understand."
"And I don't understand why you don't understand, but I want to find out."
Juliet turned back towards the doors to the parking lot, pushing in the handle to open it, before saying, "Just go home, Nigel." She left him standing there, rushing out in the typical March rain to her small yellow VW bug.
The drive home was short, and Juliet was thankful to see her mother's car in the driveway. She grabbed her things and raced into the house.
"Hello?" She called in the front hall as she set her bag down on the small table and peeled off her soaking jacket.
Elena, Juliet's mother, stepped out of the kitchen. She was slender and beautiful, with long blonde hair and gray eyes – the complete opposite of her dark haired daughter. Juliet often wondered where it was she had gotten her looks from. She saw nothing of herself in her mother's small, pointed nose or almond shaped eyes.
"Juliet, honey," Elena said happily. "How was school today?"
"It was awful. I failed a paper."
Elena looked shocked. "You failed a paper? You never fail anything! I've never seen you get below full marks on anything in school now that I think about it."
"I know, that's why the day was awful," Juliet said matter-of-factly. She pulled the crumpled essay out of her bag and handed it to her mother. Elena skimmed through it without really seeing it, looking for red marks just as Juliet had.
"He didn't give you any reason as to why he failed you, did he? From what I can tell, it's written perfectly."
"He failed me," Juliet sighed, "because the city I wrote about apparently does not exist."
Elena froze.
"I did research out of the books in the old wooden chest under your bed and wrote about one of the cities in there."
Her mother began reading the paper more intently.
"If I'm to get full marks," she continued, unperturbed, "I need to bring him the books to show him that the essay is not unfounded."
"Absolutely not," Elena said sternly, lifting her eyes from her daughter's essay.
"Why not?" Juliet replied, confused. "Don't you want me to pass?"
"I've told you countless times, Julietrielle, that you're not to go through those things. What else did you look at?"
"The old photo album of you and Father. It looked as though you guys loved costume parties…" She trailed off when her attempt at humor failed. She sighed.
"I'm sorry but those books and things are very special to me. I've told you you're not to go looking at them and you've disobeyed me. I realize that your grades are important but one zero is not going to kill you since you get hundreds at everything else."
"No buts, Julietrielle. I'm not going to hear it. You're not to touch that chest ever again, do you understand me?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Good. Dinner is on the table. Eat quickly and then go to your bedroom. I hope you can come up with some good excuse for Mr. Nielson tomorrow. I don't want any phone calls asking me why I don't care about my child's grades."
Juliet said nothing and walked quietly past her mother into the kitchen. She ate in silence, still trying to decipher her own thoughts. She could not figure out why proving the existence of Eldias was so important to her. It infuriated her that her mother wouldn't allow her to do so. But still, Juliet thought, if mother catches me disobeying her again, I'll be punished.
She sighed and pushed away from the table, leaving the dishes. Juliet knew that cleaning helped to calm her mother, even if the act of leaving them there would bother her.
Julietrielle spent the night at her desk, not thinking of what she was going to tell Mr. Nielson the following afternoon, but sketching out the maps and places she had seen in the chest her mother kept locked away. She wondered why her mother would keep such an incredible part of her past hidden away, and began to search the maps and other resources she had in her bedroom for Eldias.
She was bothered to come up with the same results as Mr. Nielson – everywhere she looked, she found no traces of Eldias or Taln or of the Great Sea. And yet the maps she had seen in her mother's room had been so real. Why was the country not marked on any of the maps she could find?
By eleven o' clock that evening, her desk and bedroom floor were scattered with over thirty sketches of the maps she could remember. She finally turned out the lights, undressed, and settled into her bed. As Juliet drifted to sleep, she wondered in passing at Nigel's reaction to her paper, decided she was too exhausted to care, and allowed the dreams to claim her.
An hour later, Elena came in to Juliet's bedroom, gathered up her daughter's hard work, and left silently. She placed the sketches into the fireplace, and set them ablaze with a match. In her bedroom, Juliet stirred. It had been so long since her mother had lit a fire in the old stone fireplace, but before she could gather up the will to get out of bed, she had already fallen back asleep.
