I plot a line in MATLAB using the points. Please tell me how to obtain the normal of that line? Can I get these plots in a single plot?
It is easier to answer, if you explain any details. At first I assume you mean 2D-lines, because for 3D-lines a normal line is not defined.
If you have a vector with the coordinates [x, y], the vectors [y, -x] and [-y, x] are orthogonal. When the line is defined by the coordinates of two points A and B, create the vector B-A at first, determine the orientation by the above simple formula, decide for one of the both vectors, and the midpoint between the points (A+B) * 0.5 might be a nice point to start from. Adjusting the length of the normal vector to either 1 or e.g. the distance norm(B-A) might be nice also.
What does "A(x,y) and B(y,-x)" exactly mean? Using Matlab-Syntax is a common method in this forum.
@Jan Simon: My question is similar to the one you answered before. For the values I gave you already(A = [-0.6779,-0.7352]; B = [0.7352,-0.6779];), you helped me in finding normal to the line at the mid-point. Now, I am trying to find normal to the same line at the origin. Please help me. Thank you.
@Shivakumar: The normal of a line is a vector. Vectors can be move freely in the space, because they have a direction and a length. but no start point. Therefore the normal of the line at the midpoint is the normal at any other point also. If you want to draw the normal, it looks nice, when you start it at the midpoint of the line segment. but in a mathematical sense it is correct to start it from any other point of the X-Y-plane as well, e.g. at the origin.

A perpendicular line has a negative inverse slope. So if you used polyfit
coeffs = polyfit(x, y, 1);
then coeffs(1) is the slope. The new slope is -1/coeffs(1). Now you simply use the point-slope formula of a line to draw it. Obviously you need to know at least one point that that line goes through since there are an infinite number of lines at that slope (all parallel to each other of course).
It is a part of my project work. I tried what you instructed before. I didn't understood how to take a point-slope formula to draw the line. So, I gave the values to you. But I thank you for the answer you provided and for the time you spent in giving me this help
You gave the two endpoints of the original line. Those do not have to be on the new, perpendicular line, though they could. Where do you want the perpendicular line to cross/intersect the first line? At the end? In the middle? Somewhere else?
I want the perpendicular line to cross in the middle. Thank you.

If this is a homework, please spend some time familiarizing yourself with basics of MATLAB. You can start by going through the Getting Started guide
There are several ways you could do this and all of the already suggested approaches are good. Here is how you can think about it in terms of linear algebra.
Answer: Normal lies in the null space of the the matrix A-B
A = [-0.6779, -0.7352]; B = [0.7352, -0.6779]; null(A-B)
(A-B)*null(A-B) % Should yield a number close to zero
If you are looking to plot:
x = [A(1);B(1)]; y = [A(2);B(2)]; line(x,y,'color','k','LineWidth',2) normal = [mean(x),mean(y)] + null(A-B)'; line([mean(x),normal(1)],[mean(y),normal(2)],'color','r','LineWidth',2)
This is not my homework but It is a part of my project work. I thank you for the answer you provided.

* Q1 net profit 660 mln euros, up 9.4 pct
* Solvency 1 ratio at around 160 pct in April
* Says to meet capital, asset sales target ahead of time
* Prospective BSI sale to offset planned east Europe buy
By Lisa Jucca
MILAN, May 15 (Reuters) - Italian insurer Generali expects to meet key capital and asset sales targets ahead of time after kicking off talks with Brazil's BTG Pactual for a possible sale of Swiss unit BSI, a central plank of its 4-billion-euro disposal strategy.
Europe's No.3 insurer by market value followed up on the announcement of exclusive sales talks late on Wednesday by posting a 9.4 percent rise in first-quarter net profit on Thursday, a further sign that CEO Mario Greco's drive to exit non-core businesses and focus on insurance is working.
Generali said net profit had risen to 660 million euros ($905 million), helped by a rebound in life insurance in Italy, a 3.7 percent increase in the non-life segment and improved financial markets.
Quarterly operating profit edged up to 1.3 billion euros and premiums rose 1.5 percent to 18.5 billion euros, helped in Italy by the strength of its Banca Generali network. Rivals Zurich Insurance and Aegon also posted improved results in the quarter.
Italy's biggest insurer said its Solvency I ratio - a closely-watched measure of capital strength - stood at approximately 160 percent at the end of April. Under its business plan unveiled last year, the company is targeting a ratio of above 160 percent by the end of 2015.
"We will be able to meet our capital strengthening target regardless of the performance of financial market," Chief Financial Officer Alberto Minali said on Thursday.
At 0910 GMT, Generali shares were up 0.4 percent at 16.59 euros, outperforming a 0.2 percent fall in the European insurance index.
Minali declined to give details on expected proceeds from the sale of BSI or on the expected timeframe. But analysts said the Swiss wealth manager could be worth between 1.2 billion euros and 1.4 billion euros.
The sale of BSI is crucial for meeting the capital target and Minali said it would help offset a capital hit Generali is expected to suffer from the purchase of minorities in eastern Europe planned later this year.
The CFO said the purchase of the minorities would depress Generali's capital ratio by around 7 percentage points.
Generali is pushing ahead with the sale of non-core assets to focus on its insurance business. It has already sold assets for around 2.6 billion euros.
BSI, a private bank based in Switzerland's Italian-speaking Ticino area, has been on the block for a number of years but had failed to draw sufficiently attractive bids.
Generali wrote down 217 million euros from BSI's value at the end of 2013 in a bid to pave the way for a sale.
Latin America's largest independent investment bank Grupo BTG Pactual SA, controlled by billionaire financier Andre Esteves, is seeking the purchase of a wealth management company to add more fee-related activities to the fast-growing banking empire Esteves has built since 2009.
"If we get to the end of this deal, BSI will be part of BTG's core business," Esteves told Italian daily Il Sole 24 Ore.

check out the Campbell's in Richmond Co, N.C. in the 1790 census & before in
Orange Co. Also look into the census for the Smith's as they were related.
I believe that your James was the son of James Sr, born in Ireland abt. 1720
who was married to Susannah Leake. Their other children were Richard and
William Campbell. All three sons were born in the late 1700's.
Richard Campbell married Rachel Smith. William married Rachel's sister.
Both being the daughters of John Smith Sr and Elizabeth Patience ? Smith of
the Rockingham area. The Sr Smith line moved on into Williamson Co, Tn.
There his will of 1824-5 is on file.
Their families removed to Tn by abt. 1820's. Some later went on to move
into Ar around Franklin-Johnson Co.
My line is James & Susannah (Leake) Campbell
William Campbell. This line goes on down to Mary P./aka Paralee M. Campbell
who married Joseph Allen "Red" Dickerson in 1900 @ Redding, Ar.
These last two were my grandparents.
I hope that this helps someone out there.

Shafilea father denies violence
A father accused of murdering his daughter because she brought shame on the family has denied being a "domineering and violent man" and called into question his wife's "mental state", a court heard.
Iftikhar Ahmed, 52, and his wife Farzana, 49, of Liverpool Road, Warrington, are on trial at Chester Crown Court charged with killing their daughter Shafilea, 17, in 2003.
Mrs Ahmed has always denied murder, but this week the jury of seven men and five women were told she had changed her account and said she witnessed her husband beat Shafilea on the night of the alleged murder. She also claimed he had threatened to do the same to her and their other children if she asked him what had happened to Shafilea.
Mukhtar Hussain QC, defending Mrs Ahmed, cross-examined her husband and accused him of being a violent and controlling man. He said: "I put it to you that you are a domineering and violent man. What do you say to that?" Ahmed replied: "I am not."
Mr Hussain said: "You have controlled your wife and your children and have had absolute control until very very recently haven't you?" Ahmed replied: "I have never had any control over anybody."
Mr Hussain said: "The control has not just simply been exercised recently, but over many years with a degree of violence from you." Ahmed said: "There's never been any violence from me."
Ahmed said a conversation which his wife alleges happened between them when she asked him where Shafilea was "never happened". He told the court: "I am not saying she has made it up. She is under stress. I don't know what her state of mind is at the moment."
Mr Hussain said: "You think her mental state is in question, do you?" He replied: "I think so, yes." Mr Hussain asked Ahmed if he had told his wife, "if she cared for her dear life and that of her children" she would not ask him about Shafilea again.
Ahmed said: "That question never was asked and I never said anything like that."
Mr Hussain asked the defendant if he was accusing his wife of lying? Ahmed said: "I am not saying she is lying. For the past 10 years she has never mentioned anything of the sort."

Notes: Windup working for Bruney
Notes: Windup working for Bruney
For his last two outings, Bruney, who has pitched strictly from the stretch this season, has started pitching from the windup when called upon with no runners on base.
Pitching coach Ron Guidry said the change has made Bruney more effective and given the right-hander a confidence boost. But the switch to the windup didn't come overnight.
"We've spoken to him before, but when you're set in your ways, you can't argue about it. They have to want to do it," Guidry said. "He sat in the bullpen the last couple of weeks and said, 'I'm not doing the job I need to be doing, so I have to do something. I have to change something.' Well, the last two times, he's done a good job and he's got a lot of confidence.
"When you're comfortable and you're confident that you can do it, you don't have to have great stuff to get outs. You can get outs just because you feel good and you know you can do it."
Bruney said the adjustment has been a long time coming. He's been tinkering with his windup during bullpen sessions over the course of the season, but just recently came to the realization that something needed to change.
"I know I feel more comfortable," he said. "It gives me some rhythm and some gathering."
Bruney has pitched two innings since making the change, striking out four without walking a batter. Giving up free passes has been a problem for Bruney this season -- he's walked 29 batters in 41 2/3 innings -- but pitching from the windup may be a fix, or at least a help, to his bases on balls struggle.
"Yesterday [Bruney] said, 'I love it because I feel like I have more control,'" Guidry said. "So as long as he's doing fine and it's working, stay with it. Whether it's the answer or not, who knows? But as long as he feels he's doing better, that's half the problem [fixed]. Why give yourself half your ability when you could start off doing as good as you can? He didn't have to do it, but he did it on his own."
Barry calls A-Rod: Giants slugger Barry Bonds, who tied Hank Aaron with home run No. 755 in San Diego on Saturday night, called and left a voicemail for Alex Rodriguez during the Yankees' 16-8 win over the Royals, congratulating the All-Star third baseman on hitting his 500th homer.
"He left a real nice message last night, actually right after the home run, I guess," Rodriguez said. "The voicemail was probably from about 3 [p.m.], so I guess he was watching from San Diego. And then he went out for the hit, so that's pretty cool."
Giambi watch: Jason Giambi batted 0-for-3 with a walk as the designated hitter for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. He's 1-for-6 with a home run at Scranton.
Yankees manager Joe Torre said it's unlikely Giambi will join the team on Monday in Toronto, but said he expects the slugger to be activated sometime during the team's road trip, which will take the Yankees to Toronto and Cleveland.
Torre added that the turf in Rogers Centre shouldn't be a problem if Giambi is activated while the Yanks are in town to take on the Blue Jays.
"He's going to DH probably, anyway," Torre said. "I don't think it's going to be an issue, and plus, the turf isn't what it once was."
Myers cut from bullpen: Veteran left-hander Mike Myers was told after the game that he will be designated for assignment.
A published report in the New York Daily News said that Myers was informed of the move by Torre and general manager Brian Cashman shortly before the team left for Toronto.
Myers, 38, was in the second year of a two-year, $2.4 million contract. He had a team-best 2.66 ERA in 55 appearances, but left-handers hit .312 against him.
"I was a little taken back by the move," Myers told the Daily News. "I thought I had turned a corner after the [All-Star] break, but had still given up some hits to left-handers. I know I wasn't doing the job they brought me here to do, so I don't have any hard feelings."
Farnsworth boos: Reliever Kyle Farnsworth continues to hear from the fans every time he's called upon out of the Yankees' bullpen. His past two outings made matters worse making the boos louder -- as the right-hander has given up three runs, including two homers, in his last two innings.
Torre said the team's upcoming road trip could help Farnsworth.
"I think he just needs to have a couple of good outings," Torre said. "He's been around a while, and you see signs of stuff. His slider and his fastball are powerful pitches for him. He just needs to locate on a regular basis, and I think once he gets a couple of good outings under his belt, [he will be fine]. Maybe the road will help him."
Rocket man: Roger Clemens presented astronaut Garrett Reisman with a Yankees banner and dirt from the Yankee Stadium pitcher's mound, as the Bombers honored Reisman in an on-field ceremony before Saturday's game against the Royals. The Parsippany, N.J., native will be on board the Space Shuttle Endeavor as part of Mission STS-123, a six-month expedition set to launch out of Cape Canaveral on Feb. 14, 2008. Reisman will bring the items with him to be displayed in the shuttle.
Coming up: The Yankees send Andy Pettitte (7-7, 3.97 ERA) to the mound on Monday to face Jesse Litsch (4-4, 3.47) in the first game of a three-game set in Toronto against the Blue Jays. First pitch is set for 1:05 p.m. ET.

i found a 100 gallon water heater for free..... was thinking about using the tank inside to build a smoker. has anyone ever built one out of a water heater tank? would the size of this tank be suitable?
i never have, but i know many people who have built em out of anything from water heaters to kegs
im building one form a water tank that is a 30 gallon. its going to be a bbq/smoker. Let me know how yours comes along. Im starting on mine tomorrow cuz im on springbreak. One thing ive been told is to add a stack or chimney for ventilation.
i dont have all the supplies yet, so i wont be starting for a week or two, hopefully all the beer cans i recycle after my springbreak will help with funding
crickertj... did your tank have any kinf of lining in it?
it had a rubber lining in it.
The "glass" lined tanks I've cut are kind of like the enamel you see on a large steel canning pot. It can be cut from the O.D. with OxyAcetylene, not a problem, but the glass coating inside makes a rough cut, maybe plasma would do a bit better. Don't let that glass coating pop into your eyeball!
Thanks Pulser good tip. I was lucky and it only had a rubber bladder in it.
Hmmm. . . I've got an old water heater that needs replacing. Maybe it won't go into the trash
Those that say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" just don't understand!
Fast-Cheap-Reliable: Pick two.
Propane tank would be cool if it was a big one. i thought about a 55 gallon barrel but theyre thin. IDK.
55-gal drum BBQ's are easy - just cut it lengthwise, and add a grille and legs. I'f you hinge the top, you can make it a smoker, too. I got several friends who have done this, and it works fine. Alternately, you can get one of the smaller oil drums (what are those, 25 or 30-gal?), and do the same thing. Or just cut about a foot off the top and botttom, and make a couple of hibachis .....

The BBC has a strong reputation for exposing wrongdoing and uncovering scandals. But for months the broadcaster has been embroiled in a growing controversy over executive severance payments that could lead to high-level resignations and sweeping changes in the way it is managed.
On Monday, the latest and most dramatic chapter in the saga plays out before a parliamentary committee that has been investigating the payments, which totalled nearly $100-million from 2005 to 2013. The government's National Audit Office, similar to the Auditor-General, has concluded that some of the payments were more than necessary under employment contracts and many others breached BBC policies.
During Monday's meeting before the Public Accounts Committee, two key players in the scandal face off against each other. On one side will be Lord Chris Patten, a former cabinet minister and governor of Hong Kong who chairs the BBC Trust, a government-appointed board that oversees the corporation. On the other side will be Mark Thompson, the BBC's director general from 2004 to 2012 who is now chief executive of the New York Times Company.
For weeks, both men have been throwing insults at each other about who knew what, and when, about the severance packages. In July, Lord Patten told the committee that Mr. Thompson did not provide details about the payments to the 12-member Trust. He told committee members about his "shock and dismay" at the severance and added that the Trust should have been told. "If you call a previous director general of the BBC in due course, I will be as interested as you in why we didn't know," he said.
Last week, Mr. Thompson replied, filing a 73-page brief to the committee outlining what he said were extensive conversations, e-mails and meetings with the Trust to inform them about the severance. "The picture painted for the [committee by Lord Patten and other trust members] on 10 July, 2013, was – in addition to specific untruths and inaccuracies – fundamentally misleading," Mr. Thompson said. "The insinuation that they were kept in the dark by me or anyone else is false and is not supported by the evidence."
In a statement, Lord Patten and the Trust called Mr. Thompson's report "bizarre."
"We completely disagree with Mark Thompson's analysis," the Trust said in a press release last week. Lord Patten added that he was looking forward to Monday's hearing, telling reporters: "I have no concerns at all about the remarks Mr. Thompson has made."
The spat has led some committee members to call for Lord Patten's dismissal if he did mislead parliament. Others have said the Trust itself should be scrapped.
The scandal over the payments comes at a difficult time for the BBC, which has 19,000 employees and is funded by a licence fee, about $236, charged to each household. The corporation is already under fire because of allegations of sexual assault by BBC broadcaster Jimmy Savile who died in 2011. The allegations stretch more than 50 years and involve hundreds of alleged victims, according to a police report, raising questions about why his behaviour went unnoticed by BBC officials.
Another blow came last year when Mr. Thompson's replacement as director general, George Entwistle, resigned after just 54 days on the job. He left after the BBC's flagship news program, Newsnight, falsely implied that a member of the House of Lords was involved in another child abuse case. Mr. Entwistle received a year's salary as severance, totalling more than $730,00, which was double what his contract stipulated. Lord Patten defended the payment, saying it ensured a "consensual resignation."

You did the right thing and avoided unpleasant repercussions. But as cnimrod, berettaprofessor, Edward429451 suggested, the next step might be to contact their parents (or wait until the next time you see them), and suggest a "firearm safety introduction" that includes holding the rifle.
If you mention "The Four Rules" one of the adults is going to ask what those might be - that's your opening. Explain, and point out that demystifying is one of the best ways to satisfy curiosity - their sons are less likely to do something stupid later in their childhood years if they get some reality now. If the parents are liberals, you mention that people need sound information to properly make their own informed choices - can't argue with that.
If the parents go for it and the kids come for the lecture and seem to have a clue what it is about, you now have an opening to suggest a range trip with a .22 rifle for an introduction to marksmanship - single load, single fire, "just like the prone slow fire stage in the National Matches", spoken to give an aura of safety/control, and "respectability".
I'm sorry to babble like this but 1) I'm an old man with no kids to teach and envy your chance to get a couple of youngsters interested in shooting, and 2) it has given me great pleasure to watch a couple of our Junior shooters - specifically two teenage girls whose parents drive them to the matches - climb from Marksman to Sharpshooter and Expert, and one on to Master!
The shooting sports, and the ideas of self-reliance and independent responsible action, are not going to die out if we encourage and support these kids.

Some of you guys are sounding like a defeatist attitude. The world is what you make it. So don't even try to teach the kids anything, or be neighborly because of what they might do? I think this is a poor show my friends. No wonder you feel sad about it, because you know you had a chance to do something real and dropped the ball by not even trying. No offense, but hey.

Pretty sad indeed, but I think you made the right call. You don't know if the kids' parents might get upset with you letting them hold a gun w/o their permission.
I definitely miss the good ol' days. When I was a young child I still remember holding a real M16 rifle from one of the soldiers in my hometown. I think this was one of the biggest influences why I like firearms today, particularly AR15's.

Not sad at all. Absolutely right and necessary 1956 or today.
Don't anyone give a firearm of any kind, loaded or unloaded, to my kids without my express permission or there will be hell to pay. You did the right thing. It's all about respect and you acted respectfully.

That's silly, man. If the mom has an irrational fear of guns, she may have FREAKED. Maybe called the cops, whatever. Some people are just not cool with guns. He absolutely did the right thing.

Agree 100%. My own dad started to hand my son a .22 to look at. I intercepted it and said "let's check it first". As my dad was starting to say "it's not load...", I ejected a live round.
My kids, my call. That's it.

Anyone else wished that we could live permanently in 1956? Sure, that was way before I was born, but I miss those days My father has similar stories about being young in the late '50's and early 60's and how everyone in small town Idaho where he grew up hunted and fished. How things have changed.
In the late 1960s in Salt Lake City Utah where I finished high school, we showed up to high school with 30-06 rifles and shotguns in our pick-up rear window gun racks. No one stole them, and no one questioned their presence. And, we didn't miss-use them.
Not so much anymore.....

In the FIRST place, there is no way I am going to sit in my yard cleaning a gun in public view. There are just too many Liberal Trained Ninnys who will freak out and too many crooks who would mark me for theft.
My old house required that I carry gun cases to the car in plain view. I wonder if that might not have contributed to a burglary with six guns stolen. (And recovered the next day when the thief wrecked his stolen car.)
The new place lets me load up in the garage.
Sad, though. I well remember riding the city bus to the range with cased Remington 513T in hand. But that was about 1960. As Jeff Cooper said, "The past is a different country, they do things differently there."

Im not all that old, though if you saw how broken down I am(former mechanic, now disabled) you would add about 20 years. That being said, even though I live in IL I live in a rural area. When I was in high school the principal would announce the day before deer season started that if we were going to bring out guns to school with us they needed to stay in our trucks(whate most of us drove, lol) or in our cars locked up and unloaded. He then thanked us for our cooperation.
I would like for some of you to guess the decade that this happened in, here in IL. See if anyone can get it right.

Rural Illinois, maybe downstate? If so the 1990s would not surprise me.

Ah, the good old days. I recall back in 1959 when I was in high school, I found a junkyard with a lot of cut-up .50 BMGs, and I bought a couple to play with. When I got home with them, a neighbor, WWII vet, saw me trying to take one of them apart, walked over, and showed me the correct way to disassemble a .50HB. We worked on that gun several days, removed everything, cleaned up all the parts and ground smooth the cut in the side plate, and reassembled it.
Well, at one point a couple of years later (This is all pre-1968 amnesty, OK?) I took a welding class and decided to weld up the gun and see if it would function. Did that, ground off the extra material, cold blued the weld, and got the gun into working condition and took it out to the sand pit one weekend with my dad and shot it. I registered that gun during the '68 amnesty. That really got me interested in automatic weapons, and I'm still collecting them.
I wonder if any of that would/could happen these days?

Nobody's going to call the cops over a neighborly invite. What would the charge be? Menacing kindness? LOL. If the mom was overly irrational like you purport and starts freaking out, you simply say sorry, I wont bring it up again, and leave. If she calls the cops she will show herself to be irrational to them.
You scared she'll lie to the cops? Do it in front of the kids so they can witness.
This really is the age of the ninny, like Cooper said.

How sad. I grew up in a small Mississippi town on the Gulf Coast in the 1950's. A neighbor shooting a handgun/rifle would not have aroused our attention; we all had a rifle/shotgun or two and could also shoot, when ever, in our back yard.

Sad it is.
In 1959 a neighbor boy and I would put our rifles in the basket on our bikes and ride through town on our way to the dump to shoot rats. No one ever gave us a second look. I bought that rifle from an old man on my paper route for $9. Of course he had to get the O.K. from my dad. I've still got it.

I counter your paranoia of she might freak, with how do you know that they aren't at this minute considering getting their first gun for home protection or the poor political climate? Just like aaron takes newbies shooting from his work and watering hole, we all must make an effort to be friendly and helpful and kind (don't forget to smile). Just be cool and make an effort. They're not going to throw you in jail! Oh my Gosh...
Quit being a scaredy cat and go invite them to dinner. Don't just knock on the door and say hey can I let your kid shoot my gun. Then you might freak them out. Be neighborly about it.

I let the neighbor children look at my guns. But the neighbors are all blood relatives. They can just as well go in the kitchen and get something to eat or use the computer. I suspect their mom doesn't appreciate it, but she said it's okay. As long as I have legal consent, I won't deprive the chirren' of a proper and safe education on firearms. Hell. As much as they ask me about guns, they probably know as much as a lot of grown men.

I grew up in the late 50s and 60s and if a neighbor had let me handle a firearm my Mom would have been very upset with him. Of course I would have been thrilled and wouldn't have told her about it! Of course you did the right thing, especially if you didn't really know the kids well, no matter what decade it is.
This also reminds me of what my buddy told me about when he was a 12 year old kid and him and his friends would stop by a hardware store on a Saturday morning and buy a box of .22s and they would head down the street. All of them would be carrying their trusty .22 rifles, can you imagine if four twelve year old boys did that today? Someone would call 911 and it would make the evening news!

I grew up in the late 60s/early 70s. I recall being about 9 or 10 years old. My parents were pretty anti-gun but they at least let me have a BB gun but would never let me around real guns. A neighbor of ours had an old Marlin semi-auto .22. It was broken so he discarded the entire bolt and internals, it was just an empty receiver, barrel and stock, and gave it to me. I showed it to my parents and showed them that is was totally non-functional and they let me keep it to play Army with.
I was the envy of the other kids in the neighborhood but looking back on it, I knew how to treat my BB gun as far as gun safety but it probably wasn't wise to let me run around with a real (non-functioning) .22, having pretend shootouts with my friends who had plastic M16s. Imagine if a cop would have seen me from a distance. Nothing ever happened though, I kept it to our front and backyard, didn't carry it around the neighborhood.

Taking the current nanny-state in stride, you might want to go next door and tell the parents about showing the gun to the boys before the kids tell them:
"Hey mom, I saw Mr Dorf in his backyard with a gun and he showed it to me"... then she loses it and calls the police about a madman with an arsenal next door turning her sons into little infidels.
It is sad indeed, but you did the right thing... nothing like ****** off neighbors to make life a living hell.

I'm curious if Amsdorf is playing it safe, or perhaps talked to the parents? He hasn't posted back in awhile. This is a good thread, and provides much food for thought for all.
I'm reminded of something that happened about 5 or 6 years ago, where I used to live. Most of my neighbors were stand offish and pretty much kept to themselves. I rolled up in front home from work and seen the two neighbor boys (6-8 yrs old?) having a shoot-out with toy rifles. One was in his yard with a rifle over the fence, sighting in on his brother who was across the street hiding behind a tree with his rifle. I got out of my truck, and my path around the front of my truck and up my driveway took me into the line of fire. I noticed that both boys went to low ready so as not to sweep me with their muzzles, and the closer boy brought his finger alongside the triggerguard (!).
I immediately felt the rush of pride that a dad feels when his kids do it the right way. I had taught my kids to not point toy guns at non-combatants, and recognized that this is exactly what was going on with these two. The next day I seen their dad outside and just had to go over and shake the mans hand and give him kudos for his kids courteousness, and let him know that they're doing it right. When I said I'd like to talk to him about his kids, he got that worried look on his face, like they did something wrong.
I told him that I just had to shake his hand and say good job with the kids for teaching them the right things, and recounted what happened. Then his face turned to that thoughtful pride look and he cracked a smile. It turned out that dad was a Deputy Sheriff and pretty concerned as to whether he should even let the kids play with toy guns because of (the nanny state). We all went shooting together once, and had a blast. I let the kids shoot my Bearcat and 10/22. Just being neighborly.
The point is that we all need to reach out to others. The nanny state is trying to make gun owners go into the closet like the homosexuals used to be. Resist that! Gun owners are usually good people and as long as we are squeeky clean in our actions and words on the subject, there is no harm in extending friendly invites and conversation to our neighbors and fellow countrymen. More and more people are becoming new gun owners because of the political climate, and it is very important for us to lift these people up a little bit, with friendship, advice, and neighborliness. This strengthens the people and sets the nanny state back. There is minimal risk involved in this if you think about it. All of you fence sitters who have one leg in the closet and are ready to hide are hurting our cause for little reason other than paranoia. Please re-think your position and stand up for yourselves and our country.

ARM, Cadence tune support for processor design
2 comments
LONDON Processor IP licensor ARM Holdings plc and EDA software vendor Cadence Design Systems Inc. have said they have been working together to link ARM's processor optimization packages (POPs) to Cadence's software for digital design called Encounter.
[ARM TechCon 2012, the largest ARM design ecosystem under one roof, is Oct. 30 - Nov. 1 in Santa Clara. Click here to check out agenda.]
The combination produces further improvements in performance and power consumption trade offs for system-chips (SoCs) based on Cortex A-series processor cores, the companies said. No comment was made as to the design quality achieved with POPs when linked to design tools from other EDA vendors, such as Synopsys.
ARM which licenses processor architectures and core designs at the logical level also provides physical IP that can be used to construct the transistor detail of processors on particular CMOS manufacturing processes. However, such design detail can be time consuming and so recently ARM has begun providing processor optimization packages that provide the detailed design and allow options for developers to move away from the reference and make changes. With most of the work already done this speeds up design and improves time to market.
However, for system-on-chip designs the processor and its optimization have to be considered in the SoC context.
Cadence and ARM have come up with an initial approach for the Cortex-A9 processor on the 40LP 40-nm manufacturing process technology, including low threshold voltage, from foundry Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. The collaboration is being extended to the 28HPM process form TSMC and to include single, dual and quad-core implementations of Cortex-A9 and Cortex-A15 processors.
John Heinlein, vice president of marketing for the physical IP division at ARM, said that the work between Cadence and ARM provides "higher performance at a lower power than previously available."

wikiHow to Pick up a Blind Person
Ever see a blind person that made you go "WOW"? Did you realize you had no idea how to approach him/her? Well, this article is for you!
Learn how to tactfully and respectfully pick up that hot blind person you see everyday trying to cross the street!
1Take care of yourself. Just because the person is blind does not mean you can look like a pig. Ladies, wear heels. The blind person will be able to tell you're dressed nice by the clicking. Fellows, smell nice. (Intimate by David Beckham is amazing)
2Introduce yourself from an appropriate distance. If they have no vision at all, getting too close can startle them. Approach them from the front the same way you would approach a sighted person.
- Don't come up behind them, or come from the front too quickly. You may startle them, or they may bump into you!
3Compliment their guide dog if they have one. Say "Your dog looks so friendly!" or "What a cute dog!"
- Do not pet their guide dog unless you have permission. Treat it as part of their body—you wouldn't just walk over and grab somebody's foot.
4Learn a little bit about blindness. They will be pleased that you took the time to understand them.
- Recognize that some blind people can actually see a little—their world may simply be very blurry or faint.
- Learn how to escort them around.
5Offer help, but don't push it. Many blind people can skillfully navigate the world without help from others.
- "May I get the door for you?"
- "Do you need help with the stairs?"
6Don't be shy about their disability. Blindness may be new and confusing to you, but to them, it is an ordinary part of life. Mentioning how something looks is unlikely to cause them to burst into tears.
- If you make a mistake (e.g. pointing to something before realizing they can't see), apologize once and move on. There's no need to make it into a big deal—it'll only embarrass both of you.
- It's okay to use the word "see" or say "look!" to point something out. It's a part of everyday speech. Just like people in wheelchairs can "go for a walk," blind people can look for an object or see that you're hiding something.
7Treat them with the same courtesy you would treat a sighted person with. Blind people are disabled, but besides that, they are quite ordinary. There's no need to be nervous or treat them differently.
- Most blind people are as smart as anyone else. There is no need to speak slowly or loudly. Even if they are cognitively disabled, they still deserve respect.
- Avoid complimenting them on how well they walk or use their cane—they've had a long time to adjust to it. Just as it would be awkward if someone complimented you on how you walk, complimenting a blind person on their basic means of getting around will make your first impression fall flat.

When you listen with a DAB radio, not only do you hear all the hits, but you'll see the artist/song playing now displayed on the radios screen. Plus if you've requested that song your name and request will also display on the radio! The latest DAB+ radios with colour screens will show you all this but with pictures instead of just text.

Recruiting is a fickle beast. Even if your school lands an elite prospect there's no guarantee that player will develop into an difference maker at the college level. It's a realization that makes evaluation just as important as recruiting and landing top prospects. Each year relative unknowns on signing day emerge as playmakers for their college programs in the fall. Here's a look at a signee from each Big 12 school during the past two recruiting cycles (2011 and 2012 signing classes) who has already exceeded expectations.

Bethesda, Md. (Dec. 12, 2011)--Regular exercise has proven benefits in preventing and treating type 2 diabetes, but many patients find it tough to meet the American Diabetes Association guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise a week. A new study, conducted by researchers at McMaster University, suggests that there could be a better way. In a small proof-of-principle study in eight type 2 diabetes patients, the researchers found that exercising at a very high intensity, but for a mere 30 minutes a week within a 75 minute total time commitment, lowered overall blood sugar concentrations, reduced post-meal blood sugar spikes, and increased skeletal mitochondrial capacity, a marker of metabolic health. The findings suggest that exercising harder, but in a significantly shorter amount of time, could provide benefits similar to longer, but more moderate, activity.
The article is entitled "Low-Volume High-Intensity Interval Training Reduces Hyperglycemia and Increases Muscle Mitochondrial Capacity in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes." It appears in the current edition of the Journal of Applied Physiology, published by the American Physiological Society.
Working with eight type 2 diabetic volunteers recruited through local diabetes clinics, information sessions, and advertising, the researchers gave each individual a baseline exam to test blood sugar over a 24-hour period, assess fitness levels, and take biopsies of thigh muscle to measure muscle mitochondrial protein levels. For the next two weeks, the researchers showed up for a total of six supervised training sessions. Each session involved pedaling on a stationary bike for 10 repetitions of 60 seconds apiece at about 90 percent of maximal heart rate, interspersed with 60 seconds of rest, capped by a short warm-up and cool-down. Each entire exercise session lasted 25 minutes of which only 10 minutes was spent performing vigorous intensity exercise. After the two-week training period, the researchers reassessed each volunteer's blood sugar and fitness levels and took a second muscle biopsy.
The results showed significant improvement in several measures of diabetic health. All the volunteers had lower 24-hour average blood sugar concentrations, and blood sugar spikes after breakfast, lunch, and dinner were significantly reduced. The muscle biopsies revealed higher amounts of mitochondrial proteins, suggesting that the high-intensity, low-volume training increased the numbers of muscle cell power generators, a marker of improved metabolic health. Although the training regimen didn't decrease body mass in any of the participants, it did increase the maximal workload that each was able to achieve on the stationary bike and decreased heart rate during exercise, markers of improved fitness.
Importance of the Findings
These findings suggest that exercising at a very high exertion level, but for a decreased amount of time, could have significant benefits for diabetic patients that rival those of traditional, but lengthy, periods of moderate exercise. Participants did not lose weight during the study, but the increase in mitochondrial proteins suggests that the training regimen changed their body compositions. The authors suggest that body composition change could be responsible for the effects observed in this study, but future research will be necessary to identify the true mechanism behind these results.
"Given that the majority of individuals with and without type 2 diabetes do not accumulate sufficient exercise to achieve health benefits, and the most common cited barrier to regular exercise is a lack of time, our results suggest that low-volume high-intensity training may be a viable, time-efficient strategy to improve health in patients with type 2 diabetes," the authors say.
Study Team
The study was conducted by Jonathan P. Little and his colleagues, Jenna B. Gillen, Michael E. Percival, Adeel Safdar, Mark A. Tarnopolsky, Zubin Punthakee, and Martin J. Gibala, all of McMaster University, and Mary E. Jung of the University of British Columbia Okanagan.

NORTH SALT LAKE — A small fire caused extensive smoke damage to a bakery Thursday night.
The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen of the converted home, 180 N. U.S. 89, which houses Soutie's Bakery on the ground floor, with an apartment in the basement, South Davis Metro Fire Deputy Chief Jeff Bassett reported.
The basement tenants smelled smoke and exited the building to discover smoke pouring from the bakery windows about 6:40 p.m., Bassett said. Fire crews quickly extinguished the fire, but not before the heavy smoke took a toll on the building.Comment on this story
"The business will not be able to be occupied," he said. "There was quite a bit of smoke damage."
Water damage may also have impacted the basement, Bassett said.
Employees and customers were in and out of the bakery all day, Bassett said. The cause of the fire, which started after the business had closed, is being investigated. Crews were interviewing people who were in the building Thursday to determine whether they noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Bassett said it had not been determined when the downstairs residents will be allowed back into the apartment.

The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control has said it owns Silver Lake, but so far, the department has taken no action to regulate use of the lake.
DNREC is keeping so quiet that even Rehoboth Beach officials don't know what the department is doing.
DNREC officials say they are in discussions with the Department of Justice on legal issues related to ownership of Silver Lake. So far, the agency has not initiated discussions with homeowners, and it will not say how many homeowners it plans to approach.
DNREC spokeman Michael Globetti said the department has no further comment on Silver Lake.
Department of Justice spokesman Jason Miller said his agency is advising DNREC on legal issues involved in management of Silver Lake, but he declined to identify the issues.
DNREC has not said how many properties surround Silver Lake, but Rehoboth Beach Commissioner Patrick Gossett said he identified 48 properties within the city on or abutting Silver Lake.
Gossett said of those, 30 face the lake but a road, such as East Lake Drive, runs between the house and the water. He said 18 properties are directly on the lake, most notably the houses on Stockley Street in Country Club Estates, Silver Lane and the end of Scarborough Street Extended.
Mayor Sam Cooper said he last spoke with DNREC a month ago, when he was told the agency would be scheduling a public meeting, but no date has been set for a meeting. Cooper said DNREC says it owns Silver Lake but is still wrestling with the implications of property owners who may have deeds that indicate their property extends into the lake.
Cooper said two properties that claim land into the lake are Newbold Square and the Thoroughgood property on Stockley Street Extended. Another is Lot 6 Silver Lane, although that deed has been disputed by attorney Gene Lawson, representing Save Our Lakes Alliance3.
Cooper said DNREC has indicated it wants a public meeting to discuss its ownership, tell the public how it plans to regulate the lake and get feedback from the community.
Commissioner Stan Mills said he has received no word from DNREC regarding ownership of Silver Lake, but he is looking forward to hearing details of the department's management program, addressing issues such as maintaining water levels, clearing debris, shoreline management and bulkheading.
Commissioner Lorraine Zellers, who lives on Silver Lake, said it would be a good thing for the state to assume lake ownership, in order to have the lake's jurisdiction under one entity. She said DNREC's ownership and resources are important for dredging the west end of the lake.
Meanwhile city officials have been pursuing lake management policies, recently enacting a 10-foot, no-build zone around the lakes within city jurisdiction – Silver Lake and Lake Gerar. A proposed ordinance mandating site-plan review for new construction within 25 feet of the lake did not pass after the commissioners' deadlocked on their vote. However, the ordinance is expected to be taken up again at a future meeting.

Braves make Mets sweat, but late rally falls short
Braves make Mets sweat, but late rally falls short
Within their attempt to erase a five-run, ninth-inning deficit at Citi Field on Sunday night, the Braves found some satisfaction. But instead of celebrating a three-game sweep of the Mets, they were forced to think about how close they had actually come in this 6-5 loss.
"We just dug ourselves too big of a hole tonight," Braves third baseman Chipper Jones said. "We gave them a scare. That's what you want to see out of your ballclub when you're down. If guys want to give it to you, take it. I think we only got one hit that inning, but we put a little scare in them."
After Mets starter Jon Niese limited them to Freddie Freeman's second-inning home run during his eight-inning effort, the Braves began their ninth-inning rally against Josh Edgin, who issued two walks and hit Freeman with a pitch. Juan Francisco then produced a run when he worked a bases-loaded walk on a 10-pitch at-bat against Mets closer Frank Francisco.
Francisco issued another bases-loaded walk to Michael Bourn before seeing Martin Prado cut Atlanta's deficit to one run with a slicing two-run double that did not travel far enough down the right-field line to score Bourn from first base. Braves third-base coach Brian Snitker waited until the last possible moment before putting up the stop sign on Bourn.
"I'm thinking maybe if it hugs that wall there, maybe [right fielder Mike Baxter] takes more time digging after it in the side wall, we might have had an opportunity for Snit to send him," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "But other than that, he really had no chance to send him there. It would have been really hard to send him there, and you've got the middle of the order up."
Staring at a potentially disastrous finish that would have further wrecked their season, the Mets called upon Jon Rauch, who ended the ninth-inning madness with a strikeout of Jason Heyward. But to add to the intrigue, Mets catcher Rob Johnson dropped the third strike and nearly hit Heyward's leg with his throw to first base.
"I love this team because we battle all the way until the end," Prado said. "We came up short. But we tried and we played hard."
Much of the evening's focus surrounded Sheets, who allowed five runs -- four earned -- and eight hits in his 107-pitch, six-inning effort. But the decisive run was actually scored in the eighth inning, when Jordany Valdespin singled off Cristhian Martinez and then stole second base before scoring on an Andres Torres single.
Adding to the evening's frustration was the fact that the Braves were unable to take advantage of a rare opportunity to gain ground on the first-place Nationals, who had seen their eight-game winning streak snapped earlier in the day.
The Braves have not gained or lost any ground on the Nationals while winning 14 of their past 18 games. They sit 4 1/2 games back in the National League East race.
"We had some stuff going early, but we just couldn't break it open," said Gonzalez, whose team won four of six on this trip that began in Philadelphia.
It did not take long for the Braves to figure out this might not be an enjoyable evening. They stranded two runners in the first inning after Bourn began the game with a double and Prado followed with a walk. Sheets then surrendered hits to three of the first four batters he faced in New York's two-run first inning.
Sheets had allowed one or no runs in four of the previous five starts he had made since ending his two-year retirement by joining the Braves' rotation after the All-Star break. In his only previous loss during this span, he surrendered three first-inning runs to the Marlins on Aug. 1.
"I've just got to find a way to come out of the gates better and give myself a chance to get some momentum," Sheets said. "If you know anything about my career, you know me and first innings are not real good. I've just got to be better than that."
While Sheets struggled to find a feel for his curveball, the first-inning damage was limited to a couple of soft singles and David Wright's slicing double down the right-field line.
The Mets added a run in the second inning with the help of two singles and a sacrifice bunt produced by Niese. After needing 51 pitches to get through the first two innings, Sheets kept the Mets scoreless until Wright doubled and scored on Ike Davis' second soft RBI single in the fifth.
Valdespin then added to Sheets' disgust by drilling a leadoff home run in the sixth inning. It was just the second home run the veteran pitcher has surrendered in the 38 innings he has completed this year.
"I even felt good in the first inning, and that normally doesn't happen," Sheets said. "It's baseball. If I can get them to hit the balls right at them, I tend to have good games. When they find holes, bad games. It just stinks, because the guys battled the whole way."
