The Feather documentation seems to say that it is possible to override the embedded resources found in Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend. Using JustDecompile I can see javascript and sf-cshtml files in that assembly which I would like to modify (sf-image-selector.sf-cshtml). However, I can confirm that Sitefinity is not using this assembly and I can therefore not override the resources being used in it by creating the conventional folder structure and new files in my project. I am able to create my own widgets (and customize existing Feather ones) by adding/modifying cshtml files in my ~/ResourcePackages/[PackageName]/MVC/Views/[WidgetName] folder. But nothing in my ~/ResourcePackages/[PackageName]/client-components/ folder is being used by Sitefinity. Using JustDecompile I did a simple test. In Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend.client_components.selectors.media.sf-image-selector.sf-cshtml there are references to the resource ClientComponentsResources.SimplyDragAndDrop. I went into the Administration.Labels & Messages and changed the label of that resource. No change was made in Sitefinity, showing that Sitefinity is not using that assembly. I then changed the label of the resource LibrariesResources.DragAndDropBeforeDragging and the change showed on the control I am trying to modify. So, my question is: using Feather, is it possible to override the embedded resources used in Sitefinity for selector controls? And if so, how? I am using version 8.2 and have Feather version 1.4.430.0 installed. I am able to modify Feather Widgets and have created custom field controls for Dynamic Modules. I cannot find a way to modify this file: https://github.com/Sitefinity/feather/blob/master/Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend/client-components/selectors/media/sf-image-selector.sf-cshtml
Ok. I think I've discovered the answer to this. Really wish Sitefinity was a little more forthcoming with what exactly you are able to do with MVC/Angular using the Feather framework.
From what I have experienced, as of the current version of Feather:
You can use MVC/AngularJS to add/edit Page Layouts, Widgets, and Widget Designers and that is all.
To change any of the Content forms you must still use WebForms/ASCX controls. This includes any fields/selectors/etc... used on any form used to create/edit content in Sitefinity.
Make Sitefinity work best for you.

The second Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite, launched May 4 by the U.S. Air Force Space Command's Space and Missile Systems Center and 45th Space Wing, successfully arrived at its geostationary-orbit test location at approximately 3:30 p.m. PDT today.
Early in the transfer, a total of four Liquid Apogee Engine burns were executed near apogee. These burns expeditiously raised the satellite above the densest regions of the Van Allen radiation belts. Upon completion of the four LAE burns, the solar arrays were deployed in preparation for the Hall Current Thruster phase of orbit transfer.
During the HCT phase, the U.S. Air Force executed 47 burns over a period of 85 days to raise the perigee and reduce the apogee of AEHF-2's orbit. The next phase, payload activation, will include deploying the payload wings and antennas and turning on the payload electronics. Once complete, the system will begin an approximately two month on-orbit test phase.
AEHF is a joint service satellite communications system that will provide survivable, global, secure, protected and jam-resistant communications for high-priority military ground, sea and air assets. The AEHF system is the follow-on to the Milstar system, augmenting, improving and expanding the Department of Defense's Military Satellite Communication architecture.
AEHF-2 was procured from Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company by the MILSATCOM Systems Directorate, part of Air Force Space Command's Space and Missile Systems Center. The MILSATCOM Systems Directorate plans, acquires and sustains space-based global communications in support of the president, secretary of defense and combat forces. The MILSATCOM enterprise consists of satellites, terminals and control stations and provides communications for more than 16,000 air, land and sea platforms.

It would be nice if the season just started already. And I don't mean that false start at 6 am PT in Japan that of course I couldn't watch and that just caused a headache for fantasy owners trying to decide when free agents should be available and when lineup changes could be made. It would also be nice if the Phillies could officially put Chase Utley on the DL and the Red Sox did the same with Carl Crawford, so I could make some moves in Y!F&F. The first half of this week is an odd limbo where most of the final roster decisions are already known, and we're just waiting around as mostly minor news trickles in.
Overall, I have seven teams (eight including our Scoresheet league), but one is co-managed by Tim Schuler and another by our co-producer Trevor Ray, so really I'm only on the hook for five. That's probably one or two more than I'd ideally have, but since the FSTA experts league, my least important one, drafted in January, is so loaded (Ryan Braun in Round 4, Jason Heyward in Round 11), I can't complain too much.
One thing I will (and did) complain about is the Yankees' handling of Michael Pineda, whom I kept for $11 in the staff league and bought for $14 in AL Tout. Pineda is one of the best young arms in the game, and the Yankees traded their best hitting prospect, Jesus Montero, for him. Pineda reportedly showed up out of shape, and his fastball velocity was off early on. The media jumped on this, of course, while Pineda insisted he'd be fine once the season started. But four days ago, manager Joe Girardi comes out and says that Pineda might be ticketed for the minors, because Freddy Garcia's having a good camp, showing increased velocity. Was it any surprise then when the 23-year old Pineda � who's obviously the Yankees' No. 2 starter when healthy � overthrew in his next outing and injured his shoulder? It's normal for media to whine and stress over any potential issue in spring training � they even speculated that Roy Halladay had an arm injury � but the manager's job is to be a buffer between them and the players, particularly a younger pitcher. Instead Girardi amplified their concerns by announcing that Pineda's job was at stake, obviously due to his low velocity, as his other stats (3.13 ERA, 16:7 K:BB in 16.1 IP), were perfectly fine. Essentially, he said: "Amp up your velocity now, or you might wind up in the minors." Which is about as stupid a thing as he could possibly say. This is a $150 million arm, and no manager is worth anywhere near that kind of money. More importantly, as I said, I have Pineda in two leagues, and now best case scenario is he misses only April.
Sean Marshall was named the closer today, while Aroldis Chapman is now a set-up man again. It seems the Ryan Madson injury had an unfortunate cascade effect of making Chapman a reliever, as it's hard to envision the Reds needing two potentially elite set-up lefties in the pen. Is Chapman stuck in the pen all year? Is he first in line to close should Marshall have a problem? And what do you make of Mike Leake and Homer Bailey this year, who wind up in the rotation? Bailey averaged 94 mph in 2009 and was down to 92 last year. Is he capable of a post-hype breakout in 2012?
Andrew Bailey is almost certainly going on the DL with a thumb injury and could be out for a significant portion of the regular season. I avoided the guy in every league, and though a thumb, rather than an arm, injury is somewhat fluky, it just seems there are certain players who find ways to miss time any way they can. It's obviously not on purpose, but I think there might be a psychological component to it from certain guys' reckless styles of play to not being aware of where your body is in space (proprioception, it's called) to some guys being slower to feel their ankle twisting and transfer their weight accordingly. Or maybe there's some fear or success, guilt over what seems like unjust prosperity, simply because you can throw a ball 95 mph. In any event, the precise reason is less important than the general idea that injuries are not entirely random. And I'm not talking about pre-existing ones like Jose Reyes' scar tissue in his hamstrings or Chase Utley's eroding knee cartilage. I mean injuries to healthy players not being entirely random. The flip side of this is considering health a skill. Some players seem to know how to stay healthy, while others apparently don't. So maybe there's an edge to be had in determining who had a random injury, who has a chronic injury and who, despite being healthy now with no chronic conditions, has a propensity to be hurt, assuming such a thing exists.
I have no problem investing in Tim Hudson, Ian Kinsler, David Wright, Carlos Beltran and Carlos Gonzalez. I'm on the fence about Reyes, Francisco Liriano and Joe Mauer, and I stayed away from Bailey, J.J. Putz, Kevin Youkilis and Nelson Cruz, at least where you'd have to take them. I don't include Justin Morneau or Chase Utley on this list because the discount was so steep, it didn't really matter what I thought about them. I'm sure I'll be wrong about a lot of the particulars, but do you buy my premise?
As the season is set to get underway, it's hard not to be excited about my teams' prospects. But no battle plan survives contact with the enemy, and it really is much the same with your perfectly and not-so perfectly constucted fantasy squads. The players you thought were great values might well disappoint, and a couple late-round picks will be unlikely saviors. And there are probably 2-3 players whom you don't even own yet that will be key in any money finish. Still, as of Opening Day, you get to watch with your battle plans intact and your (in most cases) hallucinogenic dreams of victory undisturbed.

I'm with you on the Japan games, both from a fan and from a fantasy standpoint. How ludicrous is it to play two games that count, and then go back and play more spring training games? While we're at it, let's get rid of the Wednesday night game between the Marlins and Cardinals. Do we really need to showcase that Jeffrey Loria hoodwinked the Miami politicians into giving him the latest monstrosity of a stadium deal? Opening Day should be on the first Monday in April � I don't understand why MLB had to pollute such a good thing, especially when the payoff (two games between non-contenders played at a time when their home audiences couldn't watch live) was so small.
Between Girardi's handling of Jorge Posada last season and Pineda this year, at the very least his people-management skills need a significant upgrade. Many Yankees fans I know don't love his game tactics either, stemming from his refusal to bat Derek Jeter lower in the order against righties (or at least bat Brett Gardner leadoff against them more often) and his bullpen management last year. I know that the Yankees are favorites in the division, more so with the Red Sox's spring training woes, but this Pineda situation is the exact type that could put his job in jeopardy. Is this a fireable offense in your mind? Is Girardi on the hot seat? Or should we be blaming Pineda for showing up to camp out of shape (reportedly some 20 pounds overweight)? How much of the blame needs to fall to Pineda?
As for the Reds and Chapman, ideally they'd commit more to him starting, even if it means beginning the year in Triple-A, though after his spring I'm not sure I see the need for him to go there. I wish that they'd replace Bronson Arroyo in the rotation with Chapman, but it's hard to see the Reds making this type of decision. Arroyo's contract runs through 2013, plus there's an inherent bias towards veterans in this situation. His job was never in danger this spring, even though he was by far their worst full-time starter last year. But I also don't think this move is permanent. If Bill Bray hadn't gotten hurt this spring, the Reds would have had him and Marshall as two lefties in the bullpen, obviating the need to add another for the sake of having two lefties. When Bray is up to speed and Nick Masset is off the DL, I could see them putting Chapman in the rotation the first time an opportunity arises.
I think Leake has another level in him, but I don't know if he gets there this year. I still don't get why the Reds had him spend no time in the minors before he landed his first major league role in 2010, but he's held his own in that time, and finished strong last year. He won't ever be an ace, but he can still be a fantasy asset. Bailey has had an awful spring, and I'm beginning to think he may not ever get there. But while the Reds are looking for bullpen help, why don't they consider Bailey in the bullpen? With him giving max effort each pitch, he could be a pretty imposing reliever. In a perfect world he'd be a competent starter first, but that ship is pretty close to sailing.
One corollary to the "no battle plan survives contact with the enemy" maxim is that Opening Day is just a start, not a finish. If you have a couple of guys get sent down, it's not the end of the world, either for you or for those players. We'd all like to have a roster chock-full of stable guys with no job threats, but it's just not that easy to do. We have to take a few risks, so we shouldn't be discouraged when it doesn't work out on that risky player or two � just have contingencies in mind if the player doesn't win the job right away, including what it would take just to ride it out.

Having Travis Snider or Brian Matusz sent down (Matusz might be recalled, it turns out), doesn't matter much in AL LABR or Tout where you're just looking at season-long production, and even if that's four months could easily justify his draft-day cost. And it doesn't matter in a mixed league with a lot of bench spots where you'll use at least one or two for a mid-season lottery ticket. But it absolutely does matter in a league like Y!F&F where there are limited bench slots. If you drafted Snider, he's got to be dropped there. I also drafted him in my 15-team mixed home league with only six bench spots, and dropped him for Liam Hendriks, who's in the rotation. It just wasn't worth waiting for someone whose upside is uncertain in that situation. But had Snider gotten the job over Eric Thames, of course, I would have stuck with him.
I think Pineda who showed up at 280 after finishing last year at 270 should have been in better shape, but he's not a center fielder. Does anyone care how fat C.C. Sabathia is? And even if we concede that Pineda's reduced velocity was weight/shape related � which I'm not sure it was � then sure he deserves some blame. But 10 or even 20 pounds is a fairly minor obstacle for a 280-pound man compared to shoulder problems for a pitcher. And while I'm not sure Girardi should be fired, someone should sit him down and explain to him what the manager's job is. It's emphatically not telegraphing your intentions to the NY media. He should have told Pineda that no matter what happens, he was their guy, the one for whom they traded one of the top hitting prospects in baseball, and just to relax, go out and build up his velocity naturally, making sure not to overthrow and to tell him immediately if he felt any soreness or discomfort. If at the end of spring training, Girardi still felt Pineda wasn't his best option, he could shock everyone by sending him down, explaining that Pineda wasn't totally healthy and that as soon as he was, he'd be the team's No. 3 starter, probably in mid-April. The only downside to that is the media might think Girardi was crazy for sending him down with no warning, but that's the manager's job. Take the hits yourself, while protecting your players from them.
I don't like the Wednesday night "opener", either.

Yeah, I have to agree with you on Girardi. He seems to be positioning himself on Pineda in the media to try to look better, without realizing that he comes off worse. Though to a certain extent, that narrative has "worked" � I've seen more than one NY writer opine that this story is about a 23-year old (with emphasis on the age) not wanting to work this offseason. Maybe that's entirely true, but it's also a self-serving narrative. You've persuaded me here.
Meanwhile I briefly owned and then dumped Chris Heisey in F&F for mostly the same reason that you had to get rid of Snider � even though he hasn't been sent down, it's also pretty clear he's not going to play every day � Ryan Ludwick will get the first start in left field. And yeah, it hurt a little bit, given how much I like Heisey. Maybe I'll still grab him for spot starts, or more likely, you'll poach him before I get a chance. That's sort of the risk you have to take in a league like this with daily moves � the bottom 4-6 spots of the roster have to be pretty fluid, and while you'll miss out sometimes by cutting a guy too soon, the risk of holding on to a guy too long this league is also pretty apparent � ask anyone who tried to be patient with the Giants on Brandon Belt last year.
I missed talking about your health-as-a-skill premise in the first part, so I'll briefly comment here. I think to a certain extent that it exists, but I also think that sometimes all it takes is that first major injury to change that perception. Neither Utley nor Morneau were particularly injury prone until the last couple of years � though those both were major injuries, so they might not be good examples. But the idea that bounces around for me is that even those guys who have been healthy all of their careers � once they get that first major injury, maybe through no fault of their own, they don't know how to react. Is there a propensity to get hurt, otherwise? It's an interesting premise. I'm not sure how to identify it, much less act on it. Maybe you can have a sense about a guy like Bailey, or maybe it's just bad luck.
Finally, the Cardinals-Marlins game is in the books. You know what they say about Kyle Lohse � on any given night, he's got no-hit stuff.

Home > Time Management > College
Time Management for College Students
Time management is an important skill for college students because they typically need to juggle many different activities in a rather unstructured environment.
Although not specifically designed for college students, our free time management course provides a good foundation for you to develop the skills, strategies, and tools to create an effective time management system.
Time Management Tips for College Students
Here are some additional time management tips specifically for college students. These tips are especially helpful for students pursuing online doctoral degrees, continuing education for professionals, for college students who will be working their way through college or anyone else in a distance learning program.
1. Use a time chart. A time chart is a tool that you can use to find the best time for different types of activities. College students have a unique time management challenge in that portions of their schedule are fixed (classes) with lots of "free" time in between, while the rest is pretty much wide open.
As a student, time charts help you add some additional structure to your schedule based on the best times for different types of activities.
For example, you may find your peak times for mental concentration and studying, and schedule study blocks for your most difficult classes during these periods.
As discussed in the article, time charts can also help you add more balance to your schedule. Some college students focus too much on studying, and not enough on other types of activities like sports, recreation, and social events.
2. Prioritize. Overchoice is a very common time management problem, but it is specially pronounced for college students since they have so many different activities to choose from.
That is why it is especially important for college students to be selective and prioritize how they want to spend their time.
College is a great time to experiment with new things. Having priorities will help you balance new experiences with focus for the things that really matter to you.
3. Be careful with over-commitment and attempting to do too much. Trying to do too much at the same time can lead to excessive stress, pressure, and eventual burnout.
Remember that every time you take on something, you are automatically rejecting everything else you could have done with that time.
Learn why Always Saying Yes and Attempting Too Much are worst practices that could steal your valuable time.
4. Write things down. Why keep your memory full of small details, when you need it to remember the important things for your classes.
The habit of writing things down using an effective time management system will help you not only during your college years, but also when you go out and get your first job.
The Time Management eBook contains much more information on these topics. Get it now!
Learn much more about these principles and how they can help you become a more effective college student in our free time management course.
Improve your time management skills fast and take your productivity to the next level: Check out the Be More Productive training program.
Investing in yourself through time management training could be one of the best investments you make because time is one of your most precious and valuable resources.
If you'd like additional help, time management coaching and life coaching are both a great resource to implement these ideas and improve your time management skills. You can use personal coaching or group coaching depending on your needs.
In a corporate setting, executive coaching is also very valuable to help you be more productive and perform at your best.
Effexis Software makes a terrific time management software system that is based on these principles.

117 Tasting Notes
Had a cup of this last night. It was a gift from someone I know from Ravelry. For a decaf black tea it wasn't bad, but it still didn't have as much flavor as regular black tea. That's always going to be the case, sadly. But it was decent for a decaf, so thanks to the giver!
Boiling 3 min, 0 sec
I have to agree that while it is not great, it is about the best decaf black I have tried. The flavored ones are much better! I hope one of them works!

VANCOUVER - There have been two constants for Justin Goltz during the first two starts of his CFL career.
Strong showings early, followed by wildly inaccurate finishes.
Growing pains are to be expected when a young quarterback takes over the top job and to his credit, Goltz has displayed the proper amount of disappointment while sprinkling in a little positive reinforcement for the process itself during his post-game assessments.
The latest loss came Monday night, as the Blue Bombers kept it close but ultimately fell 27-20 to the B.C. Lions to fall to 1-5 as they enter the bye week.
Goltz started 7-of-9 through the air but managed only six more completions in the contest, finishing 13-of-28 for 112 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception.
That included just 71 yards of net offence -- and 34 yards passing -- during the second half.

Moving the chair to reach more.
Two years ago I spent four of the most peaceful hours of my life sitting in the surgical waiting area of Akron Children's Hospital. To this day I am surprised each time I look back at just how at ease I felt during the time Rebekah was undergoing open heart surgery.
Still, two years later, I can feel that same peace even just thinking about it. I think that it was then, for the first time, after countless sleepless nights, packing and repacking our bags for surgery, and thousands of prayers begging God for a safe and seamless surgery, finally, I just gave up on worrying.
Two days after surgery.
I knew that for those four hours, for just that moment of time, there was absolutely NOTHING I could do to change anything that was going on.
I could pray, and I did, but for the first time since the day she was born and whisked away from the hospital I was in on her first of two transports, I could not sit by her and fret, hold her tiny hand, or anything else.
I had to trust that God knew what He was doing, and her doctors and nurses did too.
March 6, 2014, as I sat eating a snack with Bekah, I looked at the clock. It was 10:00 AM. I realized that two years earlier I was sitting surrounded by friends and family, and more importantly, surrounded by the prayers of the many faithful who were at home spending part of their day simply sitting and praying for us.
As I tearfully told Bekah about the incredible peace I had felt two years ago, as her heart was stopped, patched, and restarted it occurred to me that I should feel that same way every day.
On the table with food coloring.
When Bekah says "1-2-3-weee" before she dives (that's right, dives, as in headfirst) off of whatever she climbed onto, or better yet, jumps BACKWARDS from wherever she is, I often cringe, and yell, and think "If only Drs. Smith and Spector knew the energetic ball of lunacy they created when they patched that hole..."
And then I remember that they do know. They gave me the chance to witness all of this craziness that is supposed to happen when there is a two year old running amuck in the house.
And, while I will continue to worry about Bekah (especially when she is "up high" and asks if it's ok to "go upside down"), and I will sometimes feel a little overwhelmed (like when Bekah is doing all of that, the phone is ringing, the mailman is at the door, and I'm trying to feed Sam), I am trying to take the time to slow everything down, enjoy every moment I have with her, and remember the peace that comes with knowing that there is ALWAYS Someone else in this jam with me...just like He was two years ago during those calm and quiet hours when Bekah's heart was stopped.

fishing is my favorite thing to do and i just purchased a 30 gallon tank i know its not very big but i wanted to get a 55 gallon but there was not enough room or money to support it....i would like to keep native fish in the tank..i have acess to bass, catfish,sunfish and trout....ive people could leave posts of which of thsees fish live well together and what i would need to make my tank suffiecient for them
Return to Fish Taxidermy Category Menu
i have a tank and i have a largemouth, but i also have a sunfish. the largemouth attacks it nonstop and i read that any fish will get along with each other except largemouth and any other combination
I had a 55 gallon tank in my classroom for each of my 33 years as a high school biology teacher. Here are a few words of advice. Do not use coldwater fishes( any trout). Of the warmwater species, most will adapt to a community tank except crappies. As long as the fishes you choose are of a similar size, bluegills, perch, bullheads, and largemouth bass(NOT smallmouth)will coexist. Use PLENTY of aeration via air stones, and use the biggest powerflow filter you can afford.
Use plastic plants, and put the tallest near the back of the tank. Keep decorations to a minimum as the residents will seek out cover to hide. Have a FULL cover to prevent evaporation and keep the fish from jumping out. Watch for the pecking order, and if one becomes too aggressive, fillet him(LOL).
Doug,apologies, hit send by accident somehow. How do you go about keeping a largemouth alive in a tank for any length of time, with regard to ph and especially food. I have a 70 gallon tall aquarium, a filter capable of handling three times that per hour, and a separate aeration system, and the three pounder I had in there by his lonesome wouldn't take food. After about a week lethargy set in and I released him where I caught him. Oh yeah, I maintained water temp around 65, just about the temp he was in at the pond.Any help you could offer would be appreciated. Thanx for your time.
largemouth will attack live minnows, other wise they are pretty pickey about what they eat
Back many years ago I kept a few smallmouth in a 55 gallon tank, they would become lethargic, ph was right everytime seemed right. The fish slowed down in activity and I lost a couple. Finally found out why.
Each week you need to change 1/3 of the volume of water, ammonia build up the biologist told me. Sure enough it worked.
Smallies have huge appetites, be ready to feed them!!1 50 craws in 3 days, other fish that are as big or a bit bigger, Had super nice sculpin, just huge! Then one day the sculpin was gone, nothing but the tail hanging out of the smallies mouth and a golf ball in its belly.
Thank you for the responses. Good points I'll keep in mind!

text: Has there ever been any studies on the effect of the flash of a camera and an octopuses eyes? I had a thought. Since we really haven't noticed other octopuses eyes going white, could Ink's condition be from the flash? I try not to use it directly in their faces, but you can see even Ink with her eye condition flinch when I use the flash and I have noticed Little Pumpkin see's the camera coming and I could swear he covers his eyes with his arms when I try to take a second shot. I am thinking maybe I need to invest in a bright light that I could use to illuminate when I want to take a shot, but sometimes, the shot I am after comes and goes so fast, there's not enough time to set something like that up. Anyway, I have 1 new shot of Lil Pumpkin taken with my new Canon Elph S400! So far I am pleased with the results! I'm interested to hear what everyone else thinks on the flash and their octopus!

£6.5m Northern Ireland mansion going for almost half price... is this our biggest cut of the recession?
An historic mansion has had its asking price slashed from £6.5m to £3.5m in what is believed to be the biggest post-boom cut in the Northern Ireland housing market.
Mourne House in Kilkeel, which dates back to 1806 and was the ancestral home of Lord Kilmorey, was on the market for £6.5m with estate agent Templeton Robinson in 2010 – for the first time in its history. But the value of this massive country estate in Co Down has now dropped by almost a half in a sign of how the property price crash has gone right to the top.
Despite the grandeur of this stately pile – it has 17 bedrooms, seven bathrooms, eight reception rooms, courtyards, stables, two cottages, two gate lodges, gardens, an arboretum and 140 acres of parkland – the plummeting property prices have hit home.
Owner Marion Russell, who lives at Mourne House with husband Alan and daughters Eleanor (4) and Annabelle (3), said she was once offered £10m to sell up – but turned it down.
"We had an offer of in excess of £10m for the place in 2007, but said 'thank you very much, but we're not ready to move'," she told the Belfast Telegraph.
"Since then the market has changed and there is a great opportunity for someone to buy the house. Originally, we believed it would be bought for development as it is a key site for a hotel and has a championship golf course nearby. But little is happening in that sector at the moment as the banks are not lending. That aspect of the market cannot be tapped into."
She said: "It is a wonderful opportunity for someone to buy at a bargain price. Family demands mean we want to move now."
Marion, who grew up at Mourne House, says the property has evolved over decades with various wings being added.
"As each earl lived here they would put their own stamp on the place," she said.
The impressive residence is set between mountains and coast.
Marion added: "It is probably the most private property in Ireland. Unless you're in an aeroplane, you can't see it."
As well as the Russell family, a nanny, estate manager and workforce also live on-site to run and manage this incredible home.
"It is a party house, and we took full advantage of that as we were growing up," said Marion.
"We would go into one of the rooms which had doors which opened out into the garden. We could happily party away there and granny upstairs didn't know anything about it."
The house has been extensively renovated by the Russells, and Marion admitted she will miss it.
Mourne House is said to be the first place to have a monkey puzzle tree when seeds were brought back from overseas in the 1800s.
Most of the main reception rooms open on to patios or formal gardens. A morning room was used to entertain visiting royalty – Edward VII was a frequent visitor – and politicians. With seven bedroom suites, a nursery wing, the captain's room with a marble fireplace and butler's bedroom, its new owner can expect 'to the manor born' style.
The third earl built the famous Globe Theatre in London.

THOMPSON-OKANAGAN — Windchill, below normal, frigid, finally sunny. Those are the terms being thrown around the region right now as we continue to live through another cold snap.
Across the region people were waking up to temperatures of -16 to -19 Celsius, plus a windchill. That windchill made it feel colder than -20 C at every weather reporting station, but Vernon clocked in at the coldest with a -27 C reading.
An arctic air mass moved over the region late last week, bringing with it well below normal temperatures but by late next week we could be seeing above normal temperatures, according to Doug Lundquist of Environment Canada.
"What we're under is an arctic ridge of high pressure," Lundquist explains. "We're cold... close to record breaking but not quite."
Though highs are still expected to be well below normal through the weekend but by tomorrow the coldest temperatures should be behind us. By early next week we will start to see a warming trend, though that could bring some snow as we transition to the above normal temperatures.
"By mid-week we could be above average, and that usually means a bit of a headache though," he says. "We'll probably have a snow event early next week."
We will likely notice a big shift in the weather going forward, Lundquist says, especially coming on the heels of a big shift to cold weather following an above average January.
"We didn't have any arctic air in January.... Only one day below -10 C (in Kelowna) and it was the last day of the month, the first day of the cold snap," he says. "February really is the time of year where we start to switch, but once we come out of it we'll feel a really big change. It's normally much sunnier in February, definitely an upswing in temperature."
That upswing will start by Sunday when cloud cover takes over the southern part of the region and by Monday in Kamloops. Temperatures will reach between -3 C and -5 C by Monday and will continue to warm up throughout the week.
Temperatures are expected to reach up to -8 C in most of the region and -12 C in Kamloops. Normal temperatures at this time of year are 2 C as a high and -4 C or -5 C as a low. Record lows for today are -22.8 C in Kamloops (set in 1975), -26.7 C in Vernon (set in 1899), -23.9 C in Kelowna (set in 1907) and -20.1 C in Penticton (set in 1979.)

Not big enough for my very healthy tomato plants. Bottom opening is too small to feed through established plants. Not very sturdy. The 42" and 54" products are much better. Easier to use, sturdier, cover most of the plant.

Hey, everyone.
I am currently looking to start developing a game as an educational project along with my college studies. I'm not looking to create a polished, industry-changing game (yet), but rather something to get my practical experience rolling. As I'm sure most of you will agree, it's a good idea to pursue your own projects in conjunction with college/university courses.
I already have some experience in Python and was looking to use that in conjunction with PyGame and some type of executable creator for distribution to Windows-based systems.
Can any of you guys give some personal anecdotes on languages/tools that you've used to develop games? I'd like to get a look at the big picture rather than just limiting myself to Python because I have some prior knowledge.
Also, how valid is Python considered as a competitive language? Honestly, I've been told that it's kind of a joke to pursue it other than as a hobby.

I know what you're thinking: "Who the hell is Josh Schwartz"? You might not know the name, but you definitely know his handwriting on TV. Josh Schwartz (pictured, left) is a pretty big name in TV, having created FOX's The OC before wondering over to NBC with one of last year's surprise hits, the geektastic Chuck. According to Schwartz himself, he has been hired to write the next "X-Men" movie, which is described as "a prequel of sorts" set at the Xavier Instituted, aka Mutant High.
Blackbookmag has the news (via Joblo.com):
Something he can talk about, however, is news that he will pen the screenplay for the next installment of X-Men, a prequel of sorts. "I'm very well aware that I'll be bludgeoned by purists, but I love its mythology, and it comes with a pretty hefty paycheck." Of the project, he beams with excitement about the opportunity to involve lesser known X-Men characters who haven't yet been portrayed on film. It will center on teenage characters at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. "It's not like I'm adding new characters like Toaster Head, or anything like that." Despite his enthusiam, he's cautious, given the double-edged sword inherent in the seemingly inexhaustible renaissance of the genre. "The Hulk looks like it's going to be terrible. And why does he look like he's fighting against the monster from Cloverfield? I mean, with Transformers, it's not like fans were going to come back saying, 'You used the wrong car.' This, however, is a different story. Of his predecessors and their successes (or failures), he says, "Brett Ratner didn't have a lot of credibility going in to the third X-Men movie, but I think Bryan Singer [who directed the first two installments] got a free pass on Superman Returns because of his work on X-Men."
Wow. The guy from The OC is going to write the next "X-Men" movie. That's not so hot. On the bright side, the guy from Chuck is going to write the next "X-Men" movie. That's not so bad.
From what Schwartz says, it sounds like "X-Men 90210". A live-action version of "The New Mutants" circa 1990s, perhaps?
What say you all?

MFA student Sal Taylor Kydd discusses how the program helped her develop the confidence to forge her own visual style. She describes the mix of studio and academic projects as particularly student-driven, with rare flexibility to meet student needs, and full of practical advice from experienced mentors and advisors. Our MFA program helps students create practices that stick with them for life.
MFA Mentor Wayne Beach and program alumnus Luis Zeron explain why Maine Media's Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts program with a focus on film prepares and inspires its graduates. Luis lives in Mexico City where he edits a series for HBO and teaches film at a University. In addition to being a writer for major studio films, Wayne has helped students go on to write hit films and TV shows.
The low-residency program at MMC is for artists interested in engaging in a rigorous educational experience leading to the MFA degree in the media arts fields of photography, filmmaking and multimedia. The College seeks those who are motivated to produce high-quality creative work under the guidance of experienced mentors and eager to participate in a community of artists striving for artistic growth through individualized practice and study.
With the guidance of advisors and project mentors, students in the MFA program establish sustainable, individual creative practices through the consistent and purposeful development and pursuit of coherent goals. Students emerge from the program with a fluent understanding of art making techniques and practices necessary to growth of an independent creative vision as well as a demonstrable competence in the interpretive analysis of creative work and the ability to situate work in appropriate historical, cultural and social contexts. These proficiencies are essential to ongoing professional engagement in the world of media arts.
Two, four-day MFA retreats are held each year, one in November and the other in May. During retreats students meet with faculty for critiques of projects, discussions covering topics in visual culture and to assess their progress in the program. Additionally, MFA students are required to complete four, one-week intensive courses during their tenure in the program. "Intensives" are seminars, led by resident faculty members, which allow students to focus on subjects essential to MFA students such as the histories and theories associated with the various media as well as professional development. "Intensives" begin on Mondays immediately following retreats.
During the semesters between retreats, students work with members of the Maine Media College faculty or other approved mentors to complete studio and academic projects. Projects are presented at retreats for evaluation and credit. Students may earn up to nine credits by taking master classes offered by the Workshops. The MFA culminates with the presentation of final thesis exhibitions or screenings.
Other opportunities for learning are open to MFA Students. Students may apply for teaching assistantships or other support positions during the workshop season and/or during the school year for the Professional Certificate programs.
* For more detailed information on credit options and requirements please see the MFA Handbook.
MFA Degree Requirements
To earn an MFA degree at Maine Media College students must complete 60 semester hour graduate credits. As the MFA is a studio degree, students must earn a majority of credits through the creative process of making art. Of the 60 credits, at least 65% (39 credits) must be earned through projects where the primary focus is on producing creative work. At least 25% (15 credits) must be earned in completing projects or intensives where the primary focus is academic. The remaining 10% (6 credits) may be creative, academic, or any combination of the two as will be most beneficial. Students with the guidance of their advisors determine the appropriate distribution of elective credits.
MFA students must fulfill several specific requirements, both academic and creative, for which he or she will earn graduate credit. These requirements are indicated where applicable in the chart that follows.

A Simulated Enhancement of Fisher-Yates Algorithm for Shuffling in Virtual Card Games using Domain-Specific Data Structures
Generally stated Algorithms are often preferred because of their wider horizon of applications owing to their freedom from any underlying language specification - they are not tied to any language and are easily implemented by anybody on any machine. This advantage becomes a hitch in applications where optimal implementation is of paramount concern - such as in games, as the developer's chosen language might suggest a better implementation that alters the algorithm using predefined data structures and/or sometimes, libraries of the preferred language.

CRESTWOOD – Stephanie Rowland scored three goals Wednesday night and made each one look easier than the last.
The senior forward got a hat trick on her Senior Night and her teammates added two more goals as the Lady Dragons notched an uneventful 5-0 win against Anderson County.
No. 8 South (10-2) has scored five goals in each of its last two games (including a 5-1 win at Nelson County Monday night) after losing 8-4 at No. 3 West Jessamine on Saturday – a loss that broke an eight-match winning streak.
In the Pewee Division the Carroll County Yellowjackets continued their winning ways by defeating the Packers.
Alonzo Lopez put the Jackets on the board first by running for a 40-yard touchdown and the ensuing PAT.
Then Ethan Price ran for 35 yards and the touchdown with Lopez converting his second PAT on the day to make it 14-0.
The Packers' Ryan Holvey scored on a 35-yard quarterback sneak, but it wasn't enough and the final score was 14-6.
CRESTWOOD – A stingy defense and the finishing abilities of senior forward Christian Lister put South Oldham in the district driver's seat Tuesday.
Lister scored three second-half goals and the Dragon defense didn't allow Oldham County to put a shot on goal until the final minute. That combination added up to a 3-0 South win on a chilly night at Dragon Stadium.
Tuesday's win marked the Dragons' first shutout of the Colonels in six years.
CRESTWOOD – North Oldham and South Oldham needed an extra 10 minutes to decide their field hockey match Monday night in the mist at Dragon Stadium.

The present invention is directed to a control process for a roll stand for rolling a strip, and in particular to a four-high or a six-high stand having at least one pair of work rolls and one pair of backup rolls, both mounted on roll bearings. As an option, the stand may include one pair of intermediary rolls, also mounted on roll bearings. The present invention is directed to a control process for roll stands of the type having controls for a rolling force, for a deflecting force, and, as an option, for a roll shift. The roll stand also includes a roll stand model with a deflection model, in which the roll stand model is assigned a specified roll gap variation, and the roll stand model calculates from the specified roll gap variation a plurality of on line set points for the rolling force, for the deflecting force, and, optionally, for the roll shift.
Control processes for roll stands in general are in wide use. The differential equations for calculating the deflection and the variation of forces during a rolling operation, as well as the solutions of these differential equations, are well known in principle. The solution algorithms used, however, converge very slowly. Therefore, they cannot be used on-line. For this reason, tables have been calculated for obtaining, through interpolation, the relationship between on the one hand the rolling force and the deflecting force and, optionally, the roll shift, and on the other hand the roll gap variation. Use of such tables, however, has proven extremely rigid and inflexible, particularly when individual rolls of the roll stand are replaced, because in that situation the tables must be completely recalculated.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a simple way, usable on-line, to calculate set points for the rolling force, the deflecting force, and, optionally, the roll shift.
This object of the present invention is achieved by calculating on line in the deflection model the relationships at interpolation points between on the one hand the rolling force and the deflecting force, and optionally, the roll shift, and on the other hand a corresponding roll gap variation.
The number of interpolation points can be predefined as a function of the available computing capacity, so that the algorithm can be matched to the available computing capacity within certain limits.
The process according to the present invention may be implemented by first establishing a number of interpolation points along the roll axis of each roll, in which the interpolation points of all the rolls are arranged in the same axial position. Then, a local force is obtained at each interpolation point of each roll; the sum of the local forces at the interpolation points of a particular roll is equal to an outside force acting on the bearings of that roll. The local forces of each roll are used to calculate a deflection at each interpolation point of each roll. The deflections are used to calculate a correction value for the local forces of neighboring rolls at the same interpolation point, for example by using the difference in deflections of neighboring rolls at the same interpolation point.
Of course, the roll flattening that occurs is also taken into consideration when calculating the correction values.
The solution algorithm converges particularly rapidly if the correction values have a component that is independent of the interpolation point, and if the component that is independent of the interpolation point is of such a magnitude that the sum of the correction values for each roll is zero.
If the strip to be rolled is asymmetric in relation to the center of the roll, a symmetrical force distribution must be applied to the rolls. The resulting stable state is distinguished by the fact that the total moment in relation to the center of the strip is zero. The control process is therefore adjusted in the following manner. Local moments are calculated by multiplying each local force at each interpolation point of each roll by the offset of its interpolation point in relation to the center of the strip. The correction values preferably have a linear component that is antisymmetric in relation to the center of the strip, which antisymmetric component is calculated to have a magnitude such that the sum of the local moments is zero for each roll.
A function is called antisymmetric when changing the sign of its input values results in a change in the sign of the function value. Such antisymmetric functions include, for example, polynomials of the nth order where n is an odd number, such as a linear or a cubic function, and the sine function, or any combination of these functions.
The solution algorithm converges even faster if the residual correction value remaining after deduction of the component that is independent of the interpolation point and optionally also of the antisymmetric component consists of a gain factor and a deflection-independent function value, and if an optimized gain factor is calculated from the differences of the deflections of successive iterations.
Due to the fact that the deflection model can be used on-line, the forces obtained on-line to arrive at the specified roll gap variation in the roll stand model, such as the rolling force and the deflecting force, as well as the calculated roll shift, can be supplied as inputs to an on-line temperature model and/or an on-line wear model, where the temperature-related or wear-related deformations of the rolls are calculated.
The temperature model and the wear model are known in principle. They could not, however, be used on-line previously, since the deflection model supplying the input data for the temperature model and the wear model could not be previously used on-line.
The accuracy of the deflection model is increased if the temperature-related and/or the wear-related deformations of the rolls are supplied again to the roll deflection model as inputs. No stability problems arise in this case, since while the deflection model immediately acts upon the temperature model and the wear model, the reverse action of the temperature model and the wear model on the deflection model is subject to a delay.
In order to ensure the planarity of the rolled strip, the forces may be corrected in accordance with measured values from the roll stand. For example, the distribution of the front tension across the strip may be determined. Then a corrected specified rolling force and a corrected specified deflecting force and, optionally, a corrected specified roll shift, are determined from the front tension distribution. Finally, the corrected values are supplied to the rolling force, deflecting force, and optionally roll shift controls as specified values.
The deflection model, the temperature model, and the wear model may be designed as self-adapting models. The following steps may be used for model adaptation. The profile of the rolled strip is determined during rolling, e.g., via the front tension distribution across the strip, and therefrom an actual roll gap variation is determined. The actual roll gap variation is compared with the specified roll gap variation. In order to adapt the model to the actual characteristics of the roll stand, adaptation parameters for the deflection, temperature, and wear models are determined from the deviation between the actual and specified roll gap variation. The adaptation parameters for the roll deflection model are determined immediately after the startup of the roll stand. After the roll deflection adaption parameters are determined, then the adaptation parameters for the temperature model and the adaptation parameters for the wear model are determined.
Thus, all three models can be adapted, although only one variable is available, namely, the front tension distribution.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective schematic illustration of a roll stand constructed according to the principles of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a control structure of a roll stand; and
FIG. 3 illustrates interpolation points for calculating the roll gap variation.
According to FIG. 1, the stand of a rolling mill comprises work rolls 1, intermediary rolls 2, and backup rolls 3. Rolls 1 through 3 are mounted on bearings (not illustrated). Forces can be exerted upon rolls 1 through 3 via the roll bearings. The roll gap that deforms rolled stock 4 is determined by rolling force Fw acting upon backup rolls 3, deflecting force FR acting upon work rolls 1, and axial shift V of intermediary rolls 2.
On the output side, the variation of front tension Z(x) across the strip width x is measured on the roll stand using a front tension measuring device (not illustrated in FIG. 1), so that conclusions can be drawn regarding the strip profile and the roll gap variation. The point x=0 is always taken at the center of the strip.
According to FIG. 2, in order to roll strip 4, a specified rolled strip profile d*(x) is defined for the roll stand model 5. Specified values Fw *, FR *, and V* are then determined on-line for the rolling force, deflecting force, and roll shift, respectively, in roll stand model 5. These specified values are supplied to underlying control device 6, which controls the rolling force Fw, the deflecting force FR, and the roll shift V according to the predefined specified values Fw *, FR *, and V*.
A tension measuring device 8, which measures the front tension variation Z(x) across strip width x is located behind roll stand 7. Tension measuring device 8 can comprise a set of tension measuring rolls, for example. By using the tension variation Z(x) and the strip thickness variation (i.e., the actual profile d(x)), the roll gap variation can be calculated as well.
As the relationships between tension variations and roll gap variations, as well as those between roll gap variations and deflecting force variations, are well-known, the corrected values for the specified rolling force Fw *, the specified deflecting force FR *, and the specified roll shift V* can be calculated in roll stand model 5 from the tension distribution Z(x). The specified values Fw *, FR *, and V* thus corrected are then supplied to control device 6, in order to eliminate the strip defects that appear.
The measured tension variation Z(x) is also used for adapting roll stand model 5 in a manner to be explained later.
To calculate the specified roll gap variation between work rolls 1 in roll stand model 5, a plurality of combinations of rolling force Fw, deflecting force FR and roll shift V are supplied to a roll deflection model 9. Relationships between rolling force Fw, deflecting force FR, and roll shift V on the one hand, and the resulting expected roll gap variation on the other hand are determined on line at the interpolation points in roll deflection model 9 in a manner to be explained later. The roll gap variation thus obtained is fed back to roll stand model 5.
The combinations of rolling force Fw, deflecting force FR, and roll shift V supplied to roll deflection model 9 are normally a basic combination plus three derived combinations. In each derived combination, one of the three possible variables Fw, FR, and V is different from its value in the basic combination; the two other values are equal to those in the basic combination. Thus it is possible to calculate a basic roll gap variation, as well as the relationships between the roll gap variation and the changes in the rolling force Fw, deflecting force FR, and roll shift V, using the four combinations. Consequently, based on the results of these four combinations, the specified rolling force Fw *, the specified deflecting force FR *, and the specified roll shift V*, for which the desired roll gap variation arises, are determined through a simple linear combination.
The following steps are undertaken in roll deflection model 9 to determine the expected roll gap variation for a given rolling force Fw, a given deflecting force FR, and a given roll shift V:
According to FIG. 3, rolls 1 through 3 are divided into individual slices of the same width, with an interpolation point n assigned to the center of each slice. Interpolation points n are on the same axial position for all rolls 1 through 3. The interpolation point in the center of the strip receives the index n=0; interpolation points to the left of it have negative indices n, those to the right have positive indices n.
Then, the assumption
F.sub.n =F.sub.0 +nF.sub.1 +ΔF.sub.n (1)
is made for each roll 1 through 3 for the local force Fn acting at each interpolation point n. The sum of the local forces Fn of interpolation points n is equal to the external force acting upon these rolls 1 through 3 in the roll bearings. For work rolls 1, the sum of the local forces Fn is therefore equal to the deflecting force FR, for backup rolls 3 it is equal to the rolling force Fw, and for the intermediary rolls 2 it is equal to zero.
Possible assumptions for the variation of forces in the rolls are that ΔF equals 0, that ΔF varies parabolically, or that ΔF varies as a function of empirical values.
The linear component nF1 is first set to zero. A deflection variation Bn 1,2,3 is calculated separately for each one of rolls 1 through 3 from the above assumption regarding the variation of the local forces Fn. The respective differential equations and their solutions are known in principle; therefore, they will not be further discussed here. Deflections Bn 1 for the work roll 1, Bn 2 for the intermediary roll 2, and Bn 3 for the backup roll 3 are obtained at interpolation points n as a result of solving the differential equations. As mentioned before, deflections Bn 1,2,3 are calculated separately for each of rolls 1 through 3. Consequently, the deflections Bn 1,2,3 previously calculated at the same interpolation point n can substantially differ from one another. Therefore an additional correction value δfn is calculated for the local forces Fn of two adjacent rolls at interpolation point n. This correction value is calculated from the difference of the deflections of adjacent rolls at the same interpolation point n. The residual correction value δFn is then calculated as
δF.sub.n =k*f(ΔF.sub.n,δf.sub.n) (2)
where k is a gain factor, which initially has the value 1, and f is a deflection-dependent function value.
The residual correction value δFn applies to two adjacent rolls, e.g., backup roll 3 and intermediary roll 2. The residual correction value δFn has a positive sign for one roll and a negative sign for the other roll. This is apparent considering that the increase in force of one roll must correspond to a loss of force of the other roll. Therefore, the components characterizing the variation of forces ΔFn 2 and ΔFn 3 for the intermediary roll 2 and backup roll 3 respectively change to
ΔF.sub.n '.sup.2 =ΔF.sub.n.sup.2 +δF.sub.n(3)
ΔF.sub.n '.sup.3 =ΔF.sub.n.sup.3 FU-δF.sub.n(4)
Since the residual correction values δFn of a roll do not necessarily have to mutually compensate one another, and since the sum of the forces Fn at all interpolation points n of a roll must be equal to the external force (e.g., rolling force Fw), a correction value δF0 for the constant component F0 can be calculated using this information. Based on the fact that the sum of the local forces Fn is equal to the external force, the following expression is obtained for the interpolation point-independent component F0 ' for N interpolation points:
F.sub.0 '=F.sub.0 -(1/N)·ΣδF.sub.n (5)
Furthermore, in a state of equilibrium, the total moment of each roll in relation to the direction of travel of the rolled stock is equal to zero. Therefore, in order to scale the linear component nF1 of the force variation, each local force Fn of each roll is multiplied by the offset of its interpolation point n in relation to the center of the strip to calculate the local moments, and the antisymmetric component nF1 has a value such that the sum of the local moments for each roll is zero. Consequently, the increase F1 ' in the linear component results from
F.sub.1 '=F.sub.1 -Σn·δF.sub.n /(N+1)/N(6)
Thus, new local forces Fn ' equal to
F.sub.n '=F.sub.0 '+nF.sub.1 '+ΔF.sub.n ' (7)
are obtained. The correction values of the local forces Fn ' have a constant component δF0, a linear component δF1 and a residual correction value δFn. The components δF0 and δF1 are calculated as follows:
δF.sub.o =F.sub.o '-F.sub.o =(-1/N)·ΣδF.sub.n(8)
δF.sub.1 =F.sub.1 '-F.sub.1 =-Σn·δF.sub.n /(N+1)/N (9)
With the new local forces Fn ' now calculated, the deflection variations Bn 1,2,3 of rolls 1 through 3 are calculated at interpolation points n, and new correction values for the local forces Fn ' are calculated from the newly calculated deflections Bn 1,2,3. Of course, the correction values will again have values such that the sum of the correction values and the sum of the local moments for each roll 1 through 3 is zero. Iterations are continued until the difference of the deflections Bn 1,2,3 at all interpolation points n of all adjacent rolls 1 through 3 has dropped under a preselectable limit value, e.g., 0.1 μm.
The above-described algorithm converges relatively quickly, since, unlike previously used algorithms, it takes into account that the sum of the internal, or local, forces Fn must always be equal to the external force, and that the sum of the local moments must be equal to zero. Therefore, the algorithm can be used on-line. The algorithm can, however, be made to run even quicker in the following manner.
A characteristic deflection difference D1; is calculated in the first iteration for each adjacent pair of rolls (e.g., backup roll 3 and intermediary roll 2). The characteristic deflection difference D1 can be, for example, the maximum difference in the deflections (with a plus or minus sign) of two adjacent rolls. In the second iteration, a characteristic deflection difference D2 is calculated for the second iteration by the same criterion as in the first iteration. From these two values, an optimized gain factor k can then be calculated for the third iteration by assigning the value D1/(D1-D2) to gain factor k. With the gain factor now optimized, the characteristic deflection difference D3 of the third iteration can be made virtually equal to zero.
Rolls 1 through 3 of roll stand 7 warm up during rolling. Rolls 1 through 3 are also subject to wear. Both phenomena cause deformations in rolls 1 through 3, and, as a consequence of such deformations, changes in the roll gap variation occur. Both temperature and wear depend considerably on the forces applied, i.e., rolling force Fw and deflecting force FR, as well as on the roll shift V. In order to take into account the thermal deformation and roll wear in roll stand model 5, the forces Fw and FR as well as roll shift V, which are obtained from roll deflection model 9, are transferred on-line to temperature model 10 and wear model 11. The temperature-related and wear-related deformations of rolls 1 through 3 are supplied again to roll deflection model 9. Despite this feedback, models 5, 9, 10, and 11 remain stable. The reason for this is that the reverse effect of temperature model 10 and wear model 11 is delayed.
Particularly in the case of temperature model 10, the short contact time of rolled stock 4 with work roll 3 causes the problem that, on the one hand, the individual slices of the work roll 3 should be subdivided into relatively thin rings, but, on the other hand, the computing capacity is limited. There are two possibilities to solve this problem. One is to use an analytical solution for the heat transfer using well-known differential equations for heat transfer. A secondary solution consists of subdividing the individual slices of work roll 3 into relatively wide rings in the middle and gradually narrowing the rings toward the edges. This solution keeps the computing requirements within limits even for a numerical solution, yet keeps the errors arising due to the numerical approximation small.
When roll stand 7 is started, the thermal deformation is equal to zero. The same is true for the wear of rolls 1 through 3. When the first strips 4 are rolled, the deviation of the actual thermal deformation from the temperature deformation calculated by temperature model 10 is negligible. This applies to an even greater degree to deformations due to wear. Initially, the deviations from the precalculated specified roll gap variation and actual roll gap variation are also almost exclusively due to errors in the deflection model 9. The deviations of the actual roll gap variation from the specified roll gap variation are therefore used for the adaptation of deflection model 9. The adaptation can be carried out in the manner well-known per se.
After the adaptation of deflection model 9, deviations of the actual roll gap variation from the specified roll gap variation can be attributed to errors in temperature model 10 and wear model 11. During the following rolled strips, the wear of rolls 1 through 3 is still negligible. At this time, the deviation of the actual wear and the wear that is precalculated using the wear model is therefore also negligible. The deviations of the actual roll gap variation from the specified roll gap variation are therefore basically attributable to an error in temperature model 10. Thus, after adapting deflection model 9, temperature model 10 can also be adapted in a manner known per se using the deviations of the actual roll gap variation from the specified roll gap variation.
The deviations gradually arising between the actual roll gap variation and the specified roll gap variation after the adaptation of temperature model 10 are then used for the adaptation of wear model 11. Also, in this case the adaptation can be performed in a manner well known per se.
Due to the above-described algorithm of deflection model 9 and temperature model 10, the roll gap variation can be precalculated on-line, meaning that the roll gap variation can be calculated in real time. The method according to the invention thus provides a considerably greater flexibility and universality than did the previous off-line models.
