Nice. WSJ was talking about how the values of lightly used luxury cars had gone up enough recently that it was much easier to trade in a lease early without losing much if anything. Panamera was one of the cars I was considering, but I'm leaning more towards the CL at this point.
That Ghost looks awesome in Silver. I think it adds to the affect of making it look as though it's a car cut from one huge piece of metal!

FIRE crews were called to an unoccupied bus which was on fire in Chester Bus Station yesterday.
Two fire engines from Chester attended the blaze on Princess Street at 10.11am which was on the number 53 Stagecoach bus to Kingsway.
Cllr Sam Dixon, who walked past the incident on her way to a meeting in the city centre, said the emergency services quickly had the situation under control.
She said: "There was an awful lot of smoke but the emergency services managed it very well."
Firefighters, wearing breathing apparatus, tackled the blaze and used a high pressure fan to clear smoke from the bus.
Police were in attendance controlling the traffic.

Toroweep Road, Arizona Strip
Looking for Bar 10 Ranch tomorrow, St George to Fredonia.
Any big problems new since 20 years ago?
Dirtopia has virtually zip.
Whitmore Wash
The trip was awesome.
FYI there are only a couple of spots a pickup might want a granny gear and some ground clearance. Even better than 20 years ago.
Continuing down Whitmore to the overlook, the last 1.5 mile is definitely a Jeep trail.
We went on to North Rim, Snake Gulch, Point Sublime, Marble Point & Dog Point. Too nice of roads to keep out the riff raff, just an occasional puddle to slow for unless you already know the depth.

I ran my last double digits before the 50k next weekend on Sunday. I've been injured and then sick, missing a 24 and a 16 long run , spitting me out right at the beginning of the taper. So it's been a bit weird trying to figure out how to get some muscle conditioning back into my legs without overdoing it.
For example, now a 5 mile easy run makes my legs sore. Not good! I've been doing some leg exercises and rolling to combat this but I know I shouldn't do too much more in the days preceding the actual race. I might have to just face the fact that I'll inable to walk the day after.
In response to my weekly mileage dropping from ~50 to less than 8 for a solid three weeks, I've also been eating way less. That made itself known about halfway through the ten miles yesterday. In my skewed mind, ten miles is not a "long run," at least not enough to constitute eating a gel or bringing more than a handheld for water.
That said, I had a gel anyway (thank goodness). I ran about 2.5 with DH around the pretty trails nearby and then headed out to do the remaining 7.5 as an out and back. I got a little loopy at around mile 8 with a growling stomach but made it back with a solid 8:42 average pace and a bone dry handheld. My previously injured calf was at 100%, full steam ahead, with only a 15 second quad cramp to remind me of its existence. The only down side of the run was that I was passed by a guy in a wheelchair.
Hey, it was motorized, okay?!

Creating Lengthy-term Energy Savings Into Your House
While new homes are one hundred percent more power effective today than these constructed 3 decades ago, most folks are not familiar with how to really design and style power savings into the infrastructure of their home.
Here are a handful of techniques to save power in your property:
* Windows and doors: Today's architecture takes advantage of increased window space and elaborate entry systems. Visit learn about action cooling and heating content to explore the reason for it. This style enhancement surely adds to the appeal of a property, but it increases the value of possessing energy-efficient windows and doors.
On typical, a household spends almost 50 % of its annual energy fees in heating and cooling. You can decrease this expense by up to 15 percent by utilizing power-effective windows and doors, which support lower the transfer of heat. Start off by seeking for products that have the Power Star label. This label identifies products that meet the strict power-efficiency suggestions set by the U.S. I discovered beloved action cooling and heating by browsing webpages. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. This great plain action cooling and heating paper has a myriad of commanding suggestions for when to study this belief. Department of Energy.
* Building materials: Wood or vinyl (for windows) and steel (for doors) supply high power efficiency. For windows, dual-pane insulating glass units and low-emissivity glass also improve the products' energy efficiency. For steel doors, look for a polystyrene core, which helps the door retain its power-saving properties longer than steel doors with a polyurethane core.
Rest assured, nevertheless, that you will not have to forgo style and beauty when looking for power efficiency. A lot of makers, such as Jeld-Wen Windows and Doors, offer a selection of Energy Star-qualified products that are attractive, tough and supply superior overall performance. In fact, upgrading windows and doors is a wonderful way to build power savings into your current home.
* Insulating your property: In addition to diminishing heat transfer by means of windows and doors, you can make sure even temperatures in the property by deciding on appropriate insulation. Effectively-insulated properties can save up to 30 percent on heating and cooling fees. Pay attention to the R-values employed to rate the power efficiency of insulation - a higher R-worth indicates a much better potential to resist heat flow, which means that it is more power efficient.
* Heating and cooling engines: Installing oversized heating or cooling gear is a typical practice to give buyers with quick results. If you know anything, you will probably wish to read about follow action cooling and heating info. Nonetheless, oversized gear is not necessary if your property is created to conserve power it will only add to the growth of your energy bill.

Who Is The Greatest Legend Of Them All
Who Is The Greatest Legend Od The 5 I Have Chosen After You Have Choses Can You Please Post Your Reason For The Choice You Made This Should Be Intrestin
I dont see a poll i quess that what your going for. Greatest of all time is a hard one. Since i dont get to watch alot of fights my first choice would have to be....(going to look up some names)
the reason i picked shamrock is cos he was there from the beggining and he has gone from being a simple shoot fighter to being a mma fighter he has devolped with the sport and is still competing with todays best he has the heart of a lion and i consider hm to be the greatest hall of famer
the reason i didnt include dan severn is cos he had a short run in the ufc and i only wanted the best soz to eny fans of his
i know tank isnt the best but he is my favorite fighter
Looking at that list theres only one maybe two. Ken, as some said already hes been there a long time, or The Natural whoes semms to only fight the best there is.
Ken Shamrock- Considered the World's Most Dangerous Man and one of the most dominant heavyweights in MMA for 10 years.
Royce Gracie- The winner of the first 3 (or was it 4) UFCs and the greatest ground fighter of his generation. He has only lost twice in his MMA carreer.
Randy Couture- He's the natural and the coach of Team Quest, also the only fighter ever to be both the Heavyweight and Lightheavyweight champ.
Evan Tanner- Considered the greatest middleweight in the history of the UFC, he is the most dominant freestyle fighter in the history of MMA middleweights.
Tank Abbott- Legendary for his bad-ass persona and strength (once video-taped benchpressing 600 lbs, the video clip is below). He claimed a street-fighting record of 445-5, and I believe it.
whats ur thoughts about don frye
Frye's good, but he shouldn't make this list.
Randy Couture. He's so good. Was so good. And will be so good for a little while longer.

Nothing in over a week. I'm starting to get a tad nervous now.
Just leave a comment to the reviewer down below the edit page. That should work
Agreed, this is an awesome idea!
I use my KRK VXT6 monitors as main reference. My go-to headphones are the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro.
I've two accounts here on Audiojungle. My biggest account (around 80 items) has had only 1 sale in almost two weeks! My last sale on this account (44 items) was about 4 days ago.
This concerns me quite a bit…
Great job! What an incredibly handy feature this is
A terrific start indeed! Congrats Audioctane, and all the best!
Most of my money goes into helping to pay the studio rent. Occasionally I invest some in new soft/hardware. You gotta keep up, of course!
I think it's a problem on your end. Your preview file is playing fine with me

I expect that we'll be up to a solid $5.00 per gallon by summer. Just my gut feeling on that.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
Just like riding a dirt bike, youre going to go down every now and then. Just two weeks ago, I was rear ended by a fellow rider. Only minor damage to the bikes and both of us where ok.
And yes, little old ladys and men for that fact in there big cars scare me too.
They will look right at ya, and then pull out. It makes me think that people up north dont burry there dead. They just put them in a Cadillac and send them south.
So keep safe, and make sure your firearm is in a good holster to protect it should you go down. Thanks God my G26 was.
But 17M bbls/yr won't make a dent, given the 7.3B bbls/yr (@ 20M bbls/day) consumption the U.S. already has. Either consumption has to go way, way down, or efficiency of all the in-place machines needs to skyrocket, or a new machine/fuel combo needs to be found that can be put in place in sufficient quantities to matter (with an corresponding cost to swap).
That does not even address the risks to putting the food supply at risk, for fuel, as that's a tradeoff that has absolutely limitations and far greater risks if disrupted. Imagine your family's food bill doubling or tripling, along with the current rises in fuel prices.

I ride a V=Twin bike most of the year and get 45 MPG. Last fill up was nearly 18 dollars! I parked the GMC and use only when I need a truck. In the winter with a heated vest, leather jacket, chaps, and gloves I do alright until the sun goes down and it gets cold. But as I have posted before, it limits when I can CCW as it is difficult to disarm and secure a weapon when on a bike when I visit a school or other restricted carry location.

I've seen a few of these running around here lately; Smart Car of America - The leading smart fortwo news and information portal
My pals at the motorcycle dealer have told me that sales of bikes are skyrocketing, esp. with new riders. The hottest sellers are the scooters and mild dual sports. (They get the best MPG) My 400 will get 75 mpg if I dont twist the throttle to much, but still do 100mph and out accelerate all but the best sports cars.
I'm betting we will start to see this trend on the streets as soon as nicer weather sets in.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
Ill have to agree with you.
Look at Europe, and the Far East, and the Islands where gas prices have always been high. More scooters than there are autos. My GMC pickup only has 450 miles on it so far this year.
Just went over to Daytona for the day. When I filled up my Harley got 57 MPG.

we can solve this by:
1) Hang every liberal "greener" you run into from a tall tree and a short rope; their voting policies have left us with a bottleneck at the refineries and no drilling on 80% of our coastlines. The only ones we can drill on are right in the path of hurricanes every year, which of course, make us susceptible to every atlantic storm disturbing our fuel markets.
2) there is no "magic" fuel/machine combo. You are going to give up something if you choose to get higher fuel economy. usually it is something like size (no more suburbans) performance (kiss the mustang goodbye) or luxury (only special people like Al Gore need those anyway). Our salvation lies in flooding the markets with the fuel we have, its that simple.
3) We can help by beginning to produce our own resources, of which there are plenty. Don't believe the crap you are hearing, it is there. Plenty of it, contrary to what Al and his buddies tell you. To get this done, we need to get rid of all of the ridiculous regulations on drilling and exploration. And the taxes.......
So vote republican in this election, because while they may not be perfect, I guarantee you the alternative is far more expensive than anything you can now imagine.
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
well heck a new pickup will easily run half that ( not that i buy em ) and if like me you hang onto a vehicle that you bought used 10+years it might pay out , heck it would at our current prices since i note today ( 3/6/08 ) prices were seen at $5.39 in CA .
Nothing wrong with fuel effeciancy tho in my world it is a pipe dream .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .

I have been deployed for 15 months. When i left I remember paying less than $3 a gallon. My wife is telling me its about to hit $4. When i started driving i paid $0.87 a gallon the first time i filled up. I was pissed when It went about $1.00. The madness has to stop.
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
Supporting hunting is not supporting the 2nd Amendment !
Hey i will burn 15 or so gal a day in my pickup if i am lucky . when farming goes i will burn 75 to 100 gallon a day per tractor and have two or three running . This isnt a poor me post , its an expect food to take a bite post . For whatever reason everything is going to go up faster than wages . hang on and it will stableise , not at a price we like , but at something we can live with . Not like , but live with . Heck had i seen things right i wouldn't have bought cattle i would have bought fuel and tanks to short term store it .

Canyon Ranch®
Antioxidant Formula
$ 37.95
Antioxidants are beneficial to everyone. They are especially helpful to protect against free-radical damage caused by stress and toxic exposure to air pollution, cigarette smoke, harmful additives in diet, drugs, excess alcohol and sugar and other environmental factors.
The Canyon Ranch Antioxidant Formula, designed to be taken with our Ranch One™ multiple vitamin, is a high-potency product containing a powerful combination of antioxidants that protect against some of the chemical processes known to age the body and rob it of good health:
N-acetylcysteine (NAC): This potent antioxidant may help protect the liver, lungs and pancreas from oxidative damage.
Coenzyme Q10 : Canyon Ranch adds a substantial 70 mg on top of the 30 mg in Ranch One. CoQ10 levels decrease with age, as well as with certain medications, especially statin drugs.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid: Considered the "master antioxidant," alphalipoic acid helps recycle other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E. It can also repair proteins damaged by free radicals.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C not only neutralizes free radicals, but regenerates vitamin E and helps prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and damage to DNA and cell proteins. Canyon Ranch Antioxidant Formula delivers vitamin C in a spectrum of four powerful, bioavailable forms.
Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex and Additional Quercetin: Flavonoids have a broad spectrum of antioxidant activities. Those extracted from citrus have been shown to support cardiovascular function, most likely because of their ability to strengthen blood vessels and protect blood lipids from oxidative damage. Bioflavonoids directly impact cell function and support normal platelet production and immunity.
Antioxidant botanicals, including green tea extract, rosemary and a blend of berry compounds: Canyon Ranch has created a formula that delivers multiple antioxidants in their natural states. The healthiest possible diet provides these important nutrients through multiple sources.
Something Extra – Antioxidant Botanicals: These key botanicals have been shown to provide effective antioxidant protection. Green tea, rosemary and a blend of berry compounds add an extra "ultraprevention" punch to this comprehensive formula.

Thanks for reading my post!
She seems to just not like it when I'm working past eight which is the kiddos bed time. So I just stop right before eight and if I'm doing any kind of grinding or cutting with the sawzall I just close the garage door.
So far that seems to be working.
Thanks for sharing the Rotary build, although this was the first V8 bug build I had come across and considered building it. My only problem at this point is $$$. The cost of the steel alone would be expensive, not including the suspension parts and a tranny like that audi 5 Hugo is using (Hugo is that guy building that chassis you sent a picture of). I would love to build that design, but at the moment budget is a big concern which is why I decided to use a S10 chassis and it's simpler for a beginner like my self. Once I have my own garage I'll take on a project like that and then I could use a 220v welder.
I wish I could get a 220v mig welder but the 110v 100 amp buzz box will have to do for now since I don't have a 220v outlet to work from.
Here's a pic of the latest progress on that rear engined V8 bug.

Burt from Akron asks:
Sometimes when I hover my mouse over desktop shortcuts, additional information will show up. At other times, I can get nothing more to show than what is already on the screen. Is there a way to see the extra information any time I want to?
Of course there is, And it only takes one quick left-click! How easy is that? Look at the shortcut below shown in the yellow box. As is, it only shows that it is something about RealPlayer.
The icon gives me the clue that it is probably something I saved from WorldStart, but without knowing the quick secret I'm gonna tell you, I would have to click and open it up to remember what it is about and why I even saved it. But that's way too much trouble and I want to know more without all the work!
In the second shot below, I simply left-clicked my mouse on a blank place on the desktop before hovering it over the shortcut. Now I see that the shortcut is about the basics of using RealPlayer and is indeed — as suspected from the WS icon — from WorldStart Computer Tips. But wait! If I hover a bit longer, I get lots more. Now I can see the WorldStart web site address, the tip sub address, and even the tip number. All from one little click! I call it the OLC Plan (One Left-Click Plan).
Remember to use the OLC Plan often to save yourself bunches of time — time you can use playing a cool game instead. Right now I am headed out of here to go play my own favorite game, Jewel Quest II.

Forget kissing babies — now politicians merely have to pose for a selfie to show they have the common touch.
Except, as David Cameron found while canvassing on the streets of Harrow, there are an awful lot more smartphones than infants.
The Prime Minister has revealed how the selfie craze is putting extra pressure on his campaign schedule.
"That was the most 'selfie' walkabout I've ever done," he admitted to the Evening Standard at the end of a visit to Harrow town centre, where he was mobbed by more than 100 people waving phones and cameras
"You can be walking down the street for a chat, but until you've got the selfie out of the way people aren't ready to talk," added. "Not only do they want a photograph but they want to actually take it themselves, thanks to the new technology."
Mr Cameron, who cheerfully posed with dozens of prospective voters, said he did not mind at all. But he admitted: "It makes things take a lot longer."
And he was rueful about a selfie taken last week with student Becky Smith in a Nando's restaurant, which went viral thanks to her surprised expression which gave the false impression that her bottom was being pinched.

Mr Cameron said: "She asked for the selfie, I smiled and she made that face. It did look as if I had ... err." Yesterday's Harrow trip was he first joint campaign tour by Mr Cameron and Mayor of London Boris Johnson.
The day began with the pair finding a woman collapsed in the street. Mr Cameron reportedly held her hand while they waited for medical help to arrive, although No.10 officials cast doubt on the detail.
Paramedic Dominic Stark, who attended the scene, said: "When I arrived a few minutes later, I found the PM holding the woman's hand.
"I took over caring for the patient and they left a few minutes later."
Returning by Tube to Downing Street, Mr Cameron described the London elections as "absolutely key" to his hopes to rebuffing Ed Miliband's challenge.
"It makes a lot of difference to the level of services they get and the bills that they pay to have hard-working Conservative councillors running their councils," he claimed.
He said he worked closely with the Mayor. "Many of the issues that have needed solving like transport and housing have been about central government and the Mayor working together."
Mr Johnson joked that he had made a "sporting gesture" by scoring an own goal in a game of table football with students at Harrow Skills Centre.
"We were one goal up and I thought we shouldn't win by too much," claimed the Mayor. "You've got to understand it was sportsmanship. But I set up most of the goals."
Mr Cameron repeated his hope that Mr Johnson will return to Westminster as an MP. "I know he wants to complete his term. I hope he will also, though, be returning to the House of Commons and be one of the players on the pitch."
Speculation is rife that Mr Johnson, whose second term at City Hall runs out in 2016, will stand for parliament next May.Reuse content

The Reveller Seeks Revenge At Eagle Farm
Matthew Dunn will present four-year-old gelding The Reveller to race at Eagle Farm tomorrow.
The Reveller finished third in his last start at the Gold Coast two weeks ago, despite the fact Dunn believes he should have won the race.
"Things didn't go to plan in the straight," Dunn said.

25 Things is a Virus
Are ideas literally contagious? It sure seems like it when watching the wildfire spread of memes on the internet. A recent Slate piece shows that the act of "going viral" may be structurally more like its biological counterpart than previously thought. Studying the hyped-up "25 things" meme from Facebook revealed that the spread of the idea was strikingly similar to a virus outbreak, including mutation and epidemic progression.
Slate explains:
Since I'm no evolutionary expert, I shipped Slate's data to Lauren Ancel Meyers, a biology professor at the University of Texas who models the spread of infectious diseases mathematically. Meyers says that around Day 39 of Fig. 1, we see the "classic exponential growth of an epidemic curve." (Day 39 in this graph is Jan. 8.) She also explains that "25 Things" authors can be seen as "contagious" under what's known as a "susceptible-infected-recovered" model for the spread of disease. Think of "25 Things" authors as being contagious for one day—the day they tag a bunch of their friends. Meyers found that, for that one day, the growth parameter of the "25 Things" disease during its ascent phase (roughly until the beginning of February) was 0.27. This means that, on average, each "25 Things" writer inspired 1.27 new notes.

Along with that new smartphone that you gave your young teen should be an explicit discussion about pornography. If you are unwilling to do the latter, then you shouldn't do the former.
In one study published by Wolak and others in Pediatrics about five years ago, about 42% of youth aged 10 to 17 reported either intentional or unwanted exposure to internet pornography. Accurate research on such sensitive topics is difficult, as most kids are reluctant to acknowledge viewing sexual behavior. Given that about 58% of teens now have smart phones, parents need to add pornography to the list of issues discussed at the dinner table.
Contemporary parents appear to be more relaxed with bringing up traditional sex education topics with their kids. Prompted by increasingly explicit sex educational classes, areas of sexual reproduction, bodily changes at puberty, birth control, and even same-sex relationships seem more common if not always comfortable for parents and kids. Other than advising kids to stay away from pornographic sites, little is said about this sensitive topic.
One reason that parents are reluctant to discuss internet pornography is that it is common among some adults, as is viewed as a legitimate source of sexual pleasure. It's hard to advise your child not to do something that you find enjoyable. While the impact of pornography on adults is complex, few will argue that exposure of young teens to graphic erotic images promotes a healthy sexual development.
The pornography available to any 12 year old with a smart phone is not the same stuff that we viewed as teens. These are not just images of adults having sex. There are internet sites devoted to graphic depiction of rapes, torture, and degradation of men and women in ways that I cannot even write about in this column.
How do you deal with this type of stuff with your kids?
Set and enforce clear rules with young teens. If you give your young teen a cell phone it should be with the understanding that you will monitor their internet usage. If you can't figure out how to do this, then don't buy them a phone!
Discuss pornography at the dinner table. The way to deal with sensitive topics is to make them less sensitive by frequent and casual conversations. Discuss why some behaviors (e.g., driving a car, drinking, viewing pornography) may be fine for adults but not for kids. Express your concerns about how sex is portrayed in many of those sites, particularly the depiction of women.
Acknowledge that sex is lots of fun at the right time with the right person. We want our kids to understand how sex fits into a healthy relationship, and viewing pornography at a young age doesn't promote that goal.
Next week: Why do you tolerate your teen's disrespectful behavior?

Kate Bosworth Covers BlackBook September 2011
Putting her gorgeousness on full display, Kate Bosworth adorns the cover of the September 2011 issue of BlackBook magazine.
With the installment being the publication's 15th anniversary special, the 28-year-old shares cover duties with ex-beau Alexander Skarsgard - who has his own September issue for the magazine, as well.
Set to hit newsstands next week, highlights from Miss Bosworth's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit BlackBook!
On co-starring alongside ex-beau Alexander Skarsgard:
"[He] is so kind and so dedicated and so incredibly professional. He's got this rare, wonderful control and stillness that you notice in a lot of old movie stars. He looks you in the eye. I feel incredibly lucky to have had that type of man on this movie."
On her take on fashion:
"I've always seen fashion as embracing the individual, although yes, I understand that there are parts of the industry that aren't so welcoming. But look at the Proenza Schouler boys. They're so kind and they make such brilliant designs. The Rodarte sisters, too. It may be idealistic, but I like to think that goodness rises to the top."
On being dubbed as the 'girl next door':
"I feel like I'm always battling people's perceptions of me, but it's a losing battle. I pick projects because they're interesting, not to prove anyone wrong."

So, what is the usual tip rate for a guide?

Re: So, what is the usual tip rate for a guide?
I guess the question here is what is the
of the guiding fee is the "going rate"; obviously, a certain dollar figure means more to a lower guide fee than to a higher. Am I right that Chris and Larry think a 25% tip is the appropriate rate? I don't know any other service business where a tip that high would be the going rate.
Now, again, I have tipped a guide at that rate (remember, I go solo with a guide, not as part of a group), but it has to have been an exceptional day. What does that mean to me? I will know something about the guide ahead of time, or I wouldn't have picked him/her. But I will also have mentioned to the guide just what I'm looking for in a day's guiding - not just a maximum number of trout, but learning some things I can use in the future, be it a hitch in my casting, learning the water since I may not be familiar with it but intend to fish it again by myself, suitable flies, depth that works in the case of nymphs, amount of weight for sub-surface, etc. One of the largest tips I ever gave was to a guide during a day when I probably got hits by less fish than ever before on that water (probably due to a weather change coming through); however, that certainly wasn't the guide's fault, and the fact that he was generous in giving me a good number of flies for me to try during the rest of that week I was fishing solo really impressed me, especially since so many guides cut off the fly they put on the leader at the end of the day (either to save the cost or because it's their "secret" fly).
On the whole, I'd rather be in Wyoming . . .

Question 2: If my desired outer bound is not convex how can I get my

Answer: I actually forgot about this point, and I thank you for calling

You might be able to do this by augmenting your data with "outside"

Now for question 1:
Question 1: Is there a simple way of identifying the actual triangular
(rather than just the connections)
Answer: First, let me point out that I think the justification for the
structure used in the output of "DelauneyTriangulation" is that it
allows for
efficient searching and alteration of vertex adjacencies.
I'm not aware that DiscreteMath`ComputationalGeometry` provides any
to do what you want to do. I wrote a function that does something like
you're asking, because I also want to get at the actual triangles. Below
is a
simplified (and untested -- I don't have access to Mathematica at the
version of a function called "Triangulate". What follows after the
function is
a "dissection of the code. Unfortunately, it's rather long-winded.
Let me underscore that I'm not sure the following is correct. I intend
to test
it in the next couple of days to make sure. Hopefully it is a good
(* Func: Triangulate
Desc: Produces triangulation of planar vertex set.
Pre: v List of the interior vertices.
Post: Returns vertex data and incidence relations of the
Ouput: List of sublists {v, f}. Each element of
v is a vertex in
the triangulation. Each element of f is a list
of three numbers,
which are the indices of elements in v, defining
a triangle. Thus
f[[k]] = {a, b, c}, where a, b, c "point" to
v[[a]], v[[b]], v[[c]].
Rem: The adjacency sublists "a" returned by
"DelauneyTriangulation are
not cyclic. Hence, if a[[1]] is an interior
point, it is necessary
to add the last face incident a[[1]] before
deleting vertices from
the triangulation.
Module[ { i, m, n, t = {}, f = {} },
(* Triangulate vertex list *)
t = DelauneyTriangulation[v];
(* Insert cyclic adjacency for t[[i, 1]] if it is interior. *)
For[i = 1, i <= Length[t], i++,
If[ MemberQ[ t[[ t[[i, 2, 1]], 2 ]], t[[i, 2, -1]]
Append[ t[[i, 2]], t[[i, 2, 1]] ]
(* Build list of faces from t *)
While[Length[t] > 0,
Map[Prepend[#, t[[1, 1]]]&, Partition[t[[1, 2]],
2, 1]]
t = Select[t, ( MemberQ[ Flatten[t[[1]]], #[[1]] ] ==
False ) &];
{v, f}
We begin with a list of vertices, which might look like this:
v = {..., v[[a]], ..., v[[p]], ..., v[[q]], ... }
where v[[a]], etc., are points in the plane.
A triangle can be specified by three indices, such as {a, p, q}.
The command "t = DelauneyTriangulation[v]" returns a list of the form:
t = {{a, {p, q, r, s, t, u}}, ..., {p, {z, q, a, u, x, y}}, ... }
where all entries a, p, q, etc. are "labels" for vertices. The labels
by "DelauneyTriangulation" are the positions of elements in the vertex
(if I remember correctly). I.e., the label for v[[a]] is "a". Let's call
t[[i, 1]] the "anchor" of the adjacency list t[[i]].
The purpose of the "Triangulate" function is to turn the list "t" into
something of the form
f = {{a, p, q}, {a, q, r}, ..., {a, u, p}, ..., {p, z, q}, {p, q,
a}, ...}
Where each element of f represents a triangle in the Delauney
triangulation t
of v by the labels of it's vertices.
First, it is convenient to augment the adjacency lists in t to make them
"completely cyclic" for interior points.
Consider the following diagram, for example (imagine equilateral
r q z
s a p y
t u x
The vertex v[[a]] will be an interior point of the triangulation if {u,
defines the edge of a triangle, in this case, {a, p, u}.
Description of "For" loop following the comment:
(* Insert cyclic adjacency for t[[i, 1]] if it is interior. *)
Let i = 1. Then, using our example, above:
t[[i, 1]] = a
t[[ t[[i, 2, 1]], 2 ]] = t[[p, 2]] = {z, q, a, u, x, y}
t[[i, 2, -1]] = u
MemberQ[ t[[ t[[i, 2, 1]], 2 ]], t[[i, 2, -1]] ]
= MemberQ[ {z, q, a, u, x, y}, u ]
which is true. Hence we make the change
t[[i]] = {a, {p, q, r, s, t, u}} -> {a, {p, q, r, s, t, u, p}}
Now increment "i" and loop.
Description of "While "loop following the comment:
(* Build list of faces from t *)
First, take t[[1]] = {a, {p, q, r, s, t, u, a}}, and partition it
as follows:
{p, q, r, s, t, u, a} -> {{p, q}, {q, r}, ... {u, p}}
Now prepend "a" to each sublist to get the list of triangles incident
to the vertex "a", which we will call Star(a):
Star(a) = {{a, p, q}, {a, q, r}, ... {a, u, p}}
Now join this list to the list of faces "f" (which starts out empty).
Recall that "t" is a list of sublists. The statement
t = Select[t, ( MemberQ[ Flatten[t[[1]]], #[[1]] ] == False ) &]
selects every element from "t" whose first entry is not in
{a, p, q, r, s, t, u, p}
Repeat this process until "t" is empty.
The resulting list "f" will have a unique representative for each
face in the triangulation.
To see why this is true, note that each triangle has three
representations in
the augmented adjacency list "t". For example, referring to the above
consider the triangle {p, z, q}, and note that z is not in
{a, p, q, r, s, t, u, p}. The adjacency lists for p, q, z, in "t" are of
{p, {..., z, ..., q, ...}}
{q, {..., p, ..., z, ...}}
{z, {..., q, ..., p, ...}}
The "Select" statement above will drop the first two of these, but
retain the
third, so we still get a representative of triangle {z, p, y} in a later
I claim this always works, for boundary vertices as well as interior
The above process effectively deletes all adjacency lists from t whose
anchor is a vertex of Star(a). Now I will try to justify the assertion
every triangle in the Delauney triangulation is faithfully recorded in
list f when the process is finished. Consider the following cases:
Case 1. The edge {q, p} is interior, and must be incident to two
Hence there is a vertex z, not incident to Star(a), such that {q, p, z}
in Star(z). Since z is not incident to Star(a), the adjacency list with
anchor z survives the deletion process, and the face {q, p, z} is
in a future pass.
Case 2. The edge {q, p} is on the boundary, and each vertex in {q, p} is
incident to at least two edges. In this case, the only triangle incident
{q, p} is {a, p, q} in Star(a).
The adjacency list with anchor p must contain a vertex y, which is not
Star(a). Thus Star(y) contains a triangle which is incident to Star(a)
at vertex p, but not q. Thus, any triangle incident to p, but not in
Star(a) has a representative in t after deletion, and will be recorded
as a face later. (By symmetry, this argument applies to q as well.)
g h i
r q
s a p y
t u x
Case 3. The edge {q, p} is on the boundary, and one vertex, say p, is
isolated. Then p is only adjacent to a and q, and Star(p) is a single
triangle, which is contained in Star(a). Again, the face {a, p, q} is
recorded once, and the adjacency list with anchor p is deleted without
g h i
r q
s a p

Teaching special needs students
I am currently teaching classes in crochet and knitting at a local recreation center. I have 2 special needs students in the knitting class. One says she is in special olympics and she tries to cast on but seems to just make loops only to take them off the needle and start again (she doesn't seem frustrated just repetitive). I have tried casting on and knitting a couple rows so she has a base to work on, but after knitting (loosely) on that for a while she goes back to the simple cast on (adding loops on the needle, not the slingshot or knit-on cast on methods).
The other asked about knitting for the blind as she is losing her eyesight and wants to be able to knit when she can no longer see. I have heard that knitting is easier than crochet for the visually impaired to work on, but have not found anything to help her with that concept.
Both have just started learning to knit, and seem to do ok with easy garter stitch projects, but neither have completed anything as yet. The girl is making an effort to knit but doesn't seem to be making any progress. The older lady has a good start on a scarf then decided it wasn't wide enough so ripped it out and started over but made good progress in a coule of weeks between classes. She has "grand ideas" about knitting a scarf then a hat then mittens and then a matching dog sweater for her small dog. We have only one more class session before it is over until the next fall session.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to help either of these students?
