You should not use this medication if you are allergic to arsenic trioxide.
If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use this medication:
- congestive heart failure;
- a heart rhythm disorder or history of "Long QT syndrome";
- an electrolyte imbalance (such as low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood);
- high blood pressure;
- liver disease; or
- kidney disease.
FDA pregnancy category D. Arsenic trioxide can cause harm to an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Before you receive this medication, tell your doctor if you are pregnant. Use an effective form of birth control, and tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment.
Arsenic trioxide can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How is arsenic trioxide given (Trisenox)?
Arsenic trioxide is given as an injection through a needle placed into a vein. Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will give you this injection. You may be shown how to use your medicine at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of needles, IV tubing, and other items used in giving the medicine.
Arsenic trioxide must be given slowly through an IV infusion, and can take up to 4 hours to complete.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from this medication.
Arsenic trioxide must be mixed with a liquid (diluent) before using it. If you are using the injections at home, be sure you understand how to properly mix and store the medication.
After mixing arsenic trioxide with a diluent, you may store the mixture in the refrigerator and use it within 48 hours. Do not freeze.
Mixed medicine must be used within 24 hours if kept at room temperature.
Each single-use ampule (bottle) of this medicine is for one use only. Throw away the vial after one use, even if there is still some medicine left in it after injecting your dose.
Store unopened glass ampules of arsenic trioxide at room temperature. Throw away any unused ampules after the expiration date on the label has passed.
To be sure this medication is helping your condition and not causing harmful effects, your blood will need to be tested on a regular basis. This will help your doctor determine how long to treat you with arsenic trioxide. Your heart function will also need to be checked using an electrocardiograph or ECG (sometimes called an EKG). This machine measures electrical activity of the heart.
You must remain under the care of a doctor while you are using arsenic trioxide. Do not miss any follow-up appointments.

To paraphrase Shakespeare, uneasy lies the bouffant that wears the tiara.
Who would have thought, in the joyful anticipation of the pageant's return to Atlantic City, that the coronation of the new Miss America would be fraught with controversy.
Yes, one contestant had tattoos and combat boots, but she was also hot, blond and the favorite among "real, 100-percent Americans."
Which, come to think of it, was part of the controversy.
As we all now know, Nina Davuluri was crowned queen Sunday evening, prompting jubilation among some and revulsion among others.
The first Indian-American to be elevated to the symbolic throne presented herself as the "diversity" contestant, which is a little strange since her first runner-up was of Chinese descent, one of the other ladies had Native American blood running through her veins and the runway was filled with a rainbow of skin colors, from dark chocolate to freckle-speckled.
But you understood where the former Miss New York was coming from when she said that she was "thankful there are children watching at home who can finally relate to the new Miss America." She was channeling the philosophy that makes this country great, the recognition that we are all immigrants and that the most beautiful American Miss is the one in New York Harbor.
Still, I'm always a bit uncomfortable when someone talks about how great it is that little kids can "finally relate" to someone primarily based on cultural complicity. It dilutes, for me, the potency of that wonderful masala stew in our national melting pot. Children should be able to identify with accomplishment regardless of color, religion, physical ability or political affiliation.
It is Miss "America," after all, not Miss "Special Interest Group." When Nina made reference to those non-Caucasian kids who would likely be delighted at her win (because let's be honest, she wasn't exactly thinking about Marcia Brady), I had a brief flashback to Michelle Obama, who made an offhand but ill-advised statement about finally being proud of her country after husband Barack won the Democratic nomination for president.
And then, all of that went out the window when I saw what happened moments after the tiara was affixed to her head. Social media went crazy, with people making very specific comments about why this lovely Indian American didn't represent them. The pageant's Facebook page started filling up with comments like "Disgusted that a true 100-percent American did not win," and Twitter fielded outrageous attacks on her patriotism.
My first thought was that people who make a big deal about national purity aren't that far removed from the guys who manned Auschwitz in the 1930s. Anyone who questions the legitimacy of a person based on the fact that they diverge from the mythic blond (even dark-rooted) ideal should take a remedial civics class.
And as someone who spends most of the day dealing with people who want to become Americans and make huge sacrifices to that end, the thought that my native-born brothers and sisters could be racist enough to attack another native-born sibling because she looks more Bollywood than Hollywood is enough to make me join the ACLU (well, not really, but I wanted to show the desperate lengths to which I'd be driven).

If goats and sheep and even "the tiny flea beetle" have proved effective in controlling invasive plants, why does it appear that the state of Utah's "war" on such plants prioritizes herbicide spraying ("Noxious weeds threaten landscapes, food supply, air quality," June 11)? The chemicals typically used are, contrary to manufacturers' claims of innocuousness, hazardous to environmental-health. Worse, such spraying has been shown to not only be ineffective in controlling invasive plants but actually counterproductive. A study by the USDA in Montana found that herbicide spraying actually increased the spread of the target plant, while harming several native forb species 16 years after the application.
Spraying tends to create "super-weeds," leading to greater applications of more toxic chemicals in an endless treadmill. Rather than a "meaningful expenditure of our tax dollars" as Utah State Sen. Margaret Dayton characterizes it, this amounts to a massive handout to herbicide companies, poisoning the land and jeopardizing public health in the process. The state should use the safer, effective biological controls rather than waste money and health on a futile chemical war.

Bid rejected to reinstate Octomom doc's license
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge refused to reinstate the medical license of a fertility doctor who gave Octomom Nadya Suleman all 14 of her children, ruling Thursday that the California Medical Board's revocation was the appropriate action.
In firmly rejecting Dr. Michael Kamrava's appeal, Superior Court Judge James C. Chalfont told the physician's attorneys the medical board should have been even harsher in its evaluation of Kamrava.
"I don't think your client understands what it is to practice medicine and exercise judgment no matter what the patient wants," he told the lawyers.
The attorneys argued that revoking Kamrava's license was akin to issuing a death sentence to his medical career. Attorney John Martin asked the judge to amend the board's ruling to instead place Kamrava on probation.
Chalfont quickly dismissed that idea.
""I think your client is so far away from what his duties as a physician are there's no reason to put him on probation," the judge said.
Suleman already had six children when she gave birth to eight more in January 2009. The medical board found Kamrava violated proper standards of care when he implanted 12 embryos in her.
Chalfont said he spent two weeks reviewing the case before rendering his decision, adding he did not reach it lightly.
He said the doctor, who had already delivered Suleman's first six children, should not have been so quick to implant new embryos.
Chalfont did not refer to Suleman by name, although he used her initials from the court files and said her name was widely known. He called her "a patient who is an extreme narcissist," and said Kamrava should have referred her to mental health experts.
"Your client's failure to refer this woman for a mental health evaluation is a serious breach of the standard of care," he said.
The judge acknowledged that the medical board did not find Kamrava guilty of that violation but added that he would have.
"My conclusion is the medical board did not go far enough in its conclusions about your client," he said.
Chalfont said he realized Kamrava had gone through 10 years of training to become a doctor and, with his license revoked, "all of that goes does the drain."
But he said that, ultimately, his decision was not a difficult one to reach.

For those seeking drug and alcohol treatment for teenagers, there is no resource currently available that identifies adolescent-specific treatment programs and provides other needed information on content, cost, treatment philosophy, and other issues. This project will produce and disseminate a comprehensive guide to adolescent substance abuse treatment, including elements of effective treatment, detailed information on specific programs, identification of promising programs, and other information. The guide will be produced with input from a panel of nationally recognized experts and linked to evidence-based practices. The format will be accessible to a wide range of users, including families, practitioners, and adolescents. Further, the guide will be available in hard copy and via Drug Strategies' Web site and other health-related Web sites. If successful, this project will for the first time provide critically needed information for parents, families, and their health providers seeking effective adolescent drug and alcohol treatment. The guide will, thus, help guide decision making based on evidence and solid assessment of programs, rather than panic and fear.

Have you ever felt like your not good enough? That you try compete with the world, you think your hair is not thick or long enough or your body is not skinny or muscley enough. Have you ever felt like someone is better than you? That's called jealousy apparently :/ and I feel it every day too. I hope one day it will go away. And to all that feel the same I hope it will for you too.
Love Paulo ^.^
The feeling when you know they're going to break up with you, but you keep going, then when they do you think to yourself why did I keep going even though I knew is was going to happen.

Excellent little pizza joint.. can't go wrong. The lasagna pizza is unique and delish... It's heavy though so one slice is usually enough.
Excellent little pizza joint.. can't go wrong. The lasagna pizza is unique and delish... It's heavy though so one slice is usually enough.
Let me give it to you straight up. I have gobbled up slices from one end of Manhattan to the other and NOTHING compares to Muzzarella (trashed or not trashed...and I've eaten here in both states). Their Lasagna pizza is the best. Not greasy, filling, sweet, and a HARD bottom crust...A truly perfect slice.
great and open when your bombed and hungry at the early hours of hte morning
This is not good pizza, people. Please. Just because its your local joint don't give it a damn 5/5. I know, I've been here, and I'm local to this neighborhood. There is plenty of better pizza within easy walking distance.
My local pizza joint. Can't go wrong here. there is no need for me to look elsewhere for pizza.
the couple of times ive been here, it has not disappointed yet.
Everyone has their own favourite New York Pizza place. I've got two. This one isn't just your regular slice place, it does really good focaccia pizza, and the Sicilian's great too. For a regular slice go to Sal's on 7th and A

50 shades of dark circles under my eyes
Something a little more personal.
Since my move to California, there had been a lot of self-doubt about my level of talent and whether or not I should have made the choices I've made leading up to this point. As I've said in this, even when it seems as though everything's not going well, life has a way of turning things around when you work hard enough to make that happen.
Even though what I'm saying is pretty much general knowledge, I made this more for myself than anyone else…but it's something I hope someone could look at now and later. To remind themselves of their potential, whether they believe they have it or not. I myself still have a ways to go, but I continue creating art and remaining more hopeful than ever.
i'm not saying i got emotional about the similar way they press their lips together and twitch the corners of their mouths. i'm definitely not saying that.
Amsterdam is turning rainbow for a visit of the Russian president Putin. The council of the city of Amsterdam has decided to hang out the gay pride flag on all council owned buildings and offices, in protest to Russia's new anti-gay law.
pretty sure Amsterdam is now the sass capital of the world
sometimes when i'm sad i remember that george bladgen covered "i will follow you into the dark" and rewrote an entire verse to be from grantaire's perspective and life is beautiful
#sometimes people change pronouns in songs to make it less homo #and then there's george fucking blagden
hey guys what's going on
can you even sue the president like what if you tried to sue obama and you just got a letter back saying "no" and he came to your house and did the worm
enjolras & grantaire → {Titanic}
enjolras could only remember his face like a memory that had lasted like a flickering flame before there was nothing again. grantaire's lips had tasted something foreign and he had been something estranged, perhaps it was the cigarette smoke or the way his fingers were always covered with charcoal. (maybe how words fell from his mouth like a breath of freedom which he hadn't had to his own in his whole life or the wild look in his eye when he stared even in his cynicism at the horizon). they had called it the ship of dreams with an arrogance only businessmen could jest — a newspaper headline — and the titanic had sunk with hundreds left to the sea and enjolras could only hold grantaire's hand until the cold was too much to bear.
"make every moment count," grantaire had said in a way enjolras hadn't heard from him before and would never again. "before there are no more left to have."
even if i fucking hate you i won't send you anon hate because my parents didn't raise me in the jungle
Beauty or brains?
Fuck that, it's not a dichotomy. Let's not act like mascara glues girls eyes so shut that they can't read a word of Dickens or solve a trig problem. Let's talk about how no boy has ever been asked if he'd rather get his Bachelor's or get married; no boy has ever been told that he's too handsome to run for office. So why cover up my tits so you can take me seriously?
Beauty or brains? I'll take 'em all, thanks.
Omg this
people who think being respectful and kind is a weakness
theres nothing sexier than a guy playing guitar
a girl playing guitar
a tyrannosaurus rex playing guitar, struggling to strum with its tiny arms, fueled by rage and an inner desire to Rock

My review is very similar to the one below.
We went as a group from work, ordered seperate, and our orders all came seperate. So you can imagine some people are eating some not, some having starters and some finishing main course. Starters were not brilliant, main course was average. Always go for dessert in other places but didn;t have the guts to here! Would move up to average if the service was good, but the english waitereses were really good but not the asian ones..

Movember isn't merely some event for fancy upper lip warmers. It's a global movement. It's a powerful story. It stands for something. It uses gamification. It has a unique name, tagline, and vocabulary. Movember has become an international brand.
Here are my thoughts after reading The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding, written by marketing legend, Al Ries, with his business partner and daughter, Laura Ries.
I've been asked a lot recently about my thoughts on specific domain names people have come up with. They present me with either one or two names, looking for feedback. However, my feedback has rarely been what they were looking for. However, my feedback has rarely been what they were looking for.

My mom has a great saying that she uses when speaking of organizations with departments that don't communicate with each other. I've always found this saying quite amusing. But within it lies the reality of internal communication for companies, or the lack thereof.

Startups are definitely everywhere we look, with new ones popping up every day. It would be great to see many of them survive, but alas, reality isn't that kind in the business world. Check out this nifty little infographic with some great illustrations and a lot of super cool data.
When is comes to the brand-consumer ecosystem, I see three different groups:
1. Leaders
2. Followers
3. Those who don't have a clue where they stand
An effective business brand will find a place in the psyche of a population; an excellent brand will become synonymous with the goods or services it provides. Although there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to creating a successful brand, there are 5 very important steps which are usually essential.
While doing some research, I noticed there weren't any good images that categorized the different types of logos in one place. So that's why I decided to create my own infographic on the subject. Here is this graphic, with the three different types of logos, and two other variations.
Who doesn't love to be liked?
As a brand, you probably want more people like you online. You want more followers to help get the word out. And it's nice to know what you can do so that more people click that little blue thumbs up, or choose to read your tweets.
I just checked: Google public data says there are currently 6,973,738,433 in the world. So if you haven't realized yet, it's not all about you.
Ever see those companies who post self-promotional content non-stop? Probably. They're like that not-so-popular kid in the schoolyard who insists on telling everyone about the new magic trick he just learned.

Don't have experience with this particular fragrance but maybe you could try applying an unscented lotion prior to applying the fragrance and see if it lasts longer.
Well for the first time in a long time I've found myself having problems with a fragrance not lasting long enough. Specifically Endymion. It seems like it dies after 3 hours of putting it on. I've been using 3 sprays. Anyone else have problems with this frag and or suggestions to make it last longer?
I seriously love this thing though it just dies so fast. Don't know if buying a bottle could be worth it at this point.
Expect the unexpected.
Don't have experience with this particular fragrance but maybe you could try applying an unscented lotion prior to applying the fragrance and see if it lasts longer.
I get about 4 hours with Endymion, wore it earlier today. If you dont mind a mid day spritz. Its one of my favorites, no doubt.
Endymion is an EDT, but is very light at best. A nice scent. For longevity, try the EDP of Midnight In Paris. Similar to Endymion.
"There is no accessory greater, nor more intimate, than scent." --Tim Gunn
I have noticed that Penhaligons may improve their longevity, otherwise, it would be a shame for such good fragrance notes to last rather short.
I never had that problem with it.
I find that in general, fragrances die very quickly on me if I apply them right out of the shower. Are you doing that?
If so, I recommend waiting a good half hour before applying.

To be honest its powdery general signature was only just detectable even when it hung around, which on my skin was not that long... I was not too impressed with it scent or longevity-wise, albeit I have encountered much, much worse on both counts.

Thiruvananthapuram stricken by protests
July 28, 2013
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Who is the most affected by the solar scam? 'The UDF leaders' would be an answer many throw out. But, ask the commuters who wait for long hours on MG Road, they will admit that they are the real sufferers.

Since the solar scam broke out, nearly 200 protest marches, dharnas and meetings were held on MG Road.
Pothole effect: 1 hour to travel 1.5km on Karve Road
July 24, 2013
PUNE: A rash of potholes and the civic body's desperate efforts to temporarily fill them resulted in traffic snarls on the busy Karve road and Paud road for most part of Tuesday. With the continuous rains adding to the misery, hundreds of citizens, including office-goers and students, were left wringing their hands in despair as traffic moved at snail's pace. The problem spilled over onto other roads as well, though the scene was not as chaotic as it was on Karve road. Traffic police officials of the Kothrud division said the repair work of the potholes near the Paud phata flyover undertaken by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC)

Cops to check for drunken driving till 4am
July 18, 2013
Rajiv Kalkod , TNN
BANGALORE: Alarmed by increasing late-night accidents, particularly those involving high-end cars and inebriated motorists, police have decided to extend checks for drunken driving by four hours. Till now, the drive against drunken driving used to start at 9pm and end around midnight. City police commissioner Raghavendra Auradkar told TOI they will extend the checks till 3am or 4am. "Riders and drivers hitting the road in an inebriated condition is a worrisome trend. Our recent investigations show that these revelers take the road after midnight and sometimes meet with fatal accidents or kill somebody," he said.

Have you ever wondered how liquid softeners deliver the results? It's uncomplicated, and the option draws on converting 'hard' h2o into 'soft' moisture. Rough fluids results in lots of different concerns which is the principle cause of range that seems inside of kettles, waters and lines heaters, a ingredient comprised of magnesium and calcium which is leftover right after hard water has evaporated. Simply because magnesium and calcium supplements react with cleaning soap, size builds up, and water lines can develop into obstructed.

The Victorian 2013 State of our Environment Report opens by paying respect to Aboriginal people because this is a report that considers how people live in the environment and we all know that some live more sustainably than others. Our record since colonisation is not good and we now live with the legacy of our land, water and human settlement management practices. With leadership, application and the implementation of sound environmental policies we can and should be working to remedy this legacy. Strategic policy development and implementation will generate solutions. My report reflects the fact that the task is vast and the need urgent. Report after report tells us to expect deeply confronting climate change impacts. And, if, as the Bureau of Statistics projects, Australia's population doubles in the next 60 years, with significant increases in Victoria, business as usual will not be sustainable environmentally or economically.

Dark, smooth brew with a musky, earthy aroma. Can endure many steepings, and does not become astringent.
Sipdown #4 of the day!
Apparently I am one of the few steepsterities that are up and rearin'-to-go this morning! I do see a few others and those I say GOOD MORNING! :)
Because I am going a little more hardcore than usual today – I want you all to take a look at my other loggings because there is something FREE mentioned in at least one of them! Check it out!
Anyhow…This is a decent pu-erh – one of the first ones I enjoyed after fails from other companies. This mad me be more open-minded and for that I am thankful! It's well rounded and flavorful without being too intense! A nice one!
This is decent. The earthy qualities are not overpowering. The cup is smooth and sweet with a molasses-y kind of sweetness and a woodsy undertone. A very solid, smooth Pu-erh.
This was the first Pu-erh tea I ever tried, and I've come to absolutely love it. It's very subtle and smooth, with an earthy aftertaste. It's perfect for rainy days, and it reminds me of taking a relaxing walk through the Wadi Rum (which is contradictory and weird especially since I've never been to the Wadi Rum…). Usually, I like stronger teas, but this has become my go-to tea, and I drink it at least once a day. It really can hold up for a lot of steeps, and it's complex enough that each steep is a little bit different and a little bit better :) Basically, this tea is awesome.

Ending a crazy busy cruise and want to spend a few days in Wengen with a good book, near the fireplace, in my PJ's, wth a great view!
Does anyone know of either a hotel or small chalet (sp?) maybe even a small house for 2 nights that have a fireplace in the room, not in the main lobby?

Hi koryandleslie,
I think you'll have some problems with your request --
During the ski season, most hotel rooms and apartments will rent for a full week, not just a few nights.
I just looked through the hotels on the Wengen website, and none of them show fireplaces in the rooms.
Normally there are 3-6 apartments in a chalet, so you probably won't want to rent the entire chalet.
I've heard great things about the company Chalet Services in Wengen, so you may email them and see if it's possible to rent for just two nights in one of their apartments, and if they have fireplaces.
Have fun as you plan!

Agree with Swandav that Chalet Service is very reliable and a good way to go. They do rent apartments in chalets that have fireplaces. Send Dorothee an email at firstname.lastname@example.com, tell her when you will be there and what you are looking for. She will let you know if they have anything available that fits your needs.

still haven't been able to find anything and thought I might re-visit this post for any other ideas.

NEW TEACHING AIDS ON THE MARKET. `WristAssist` and `TossAssist` are two new products on the Irish market, which could well be of interest to your players. The agency in Ireland is held by one of our own members, Johnny McCormack. If you would like to explore how to market these new devices among your client base, please give Johnny a call on 087 6698 116. WRISTASSIST: "This revolutionary tennis training device can help improve your forehand, backhand and volleys by training your brain and locking in the perfect stroke into your muscle memory. HOW IT WORKS. Sophisticated design results in a powerful, yet easy-to-use tennis stroke trainer. The WristAssist positions your wrist perfectly to consistently square the racket face to the ball on every shot. You'll improve the mechanics of your tennis stroke quickly as you groove a perfect swing path with your racket - time after time - and deliver powerful, crisp shots". TOSSASSIST: "No one ever had a great serve without a great ball toss! The TossAssist lays your wrist back to the correct angle and creates a stable wrist/hand position to accurately and repeatedly lift your ball toss to the same spot. The Toss Assist will help you: • Develop a perfect toss - The key to building a great serve that stands up under pressure. • Develop a consistent tennis ball release height - When you release the ball at eye level every time you can confidently unlock a powerful acceleration of the racket service motion up through the ball. • Develop a "quiet" laid-back wrist/hand position - which accurately places your ball toss out in front of your serving shoulder. • Develop a smooth tossing rhythm - (Throw Slow) which allows the whole arm to lift the ball into the air rather than flipping or jerking the ball with the wrist or fingers".

Concerning Off Topic discussions: Spamming, derailing and generally making posts that do nothing to contribute to discussion are going to start earning infractions that can lead to bans on a more consistent basis. It seems ridiculous, but what I realized is more ridiculous is how many warnings the mods have handed out for people spamming and disrupting OT threads. Off Topic has TWO stickies, and both are about this subject.
What this means is: if you have 6 infraction points, and you get your 7th for being relentless about spamming OT, that could technically be the point that earns you a perma. Sounds dumb, doesn't it? Keep spammy stuff in spam, please, it'll make things much easier for all involved. KTHXBAI.

Hey, folks. I've recently been made forum mod for Visual Arts. Seems dbaumgart is busy, busy these days. So there is a new sheriff around, and I'm looking to clean up this town. Going forward, I'd like to clean up a few of the stickies that are lurking around up there, maybe try to consolidate some of that into a single sticky or two, rather than the half-page that we currently have. So if any of you have any suggestions on what we want to keep, I'm all ears. There is some good stuff in there, but there are also a boatload of dead links. Thanks.

[web] Actionscript 3: Alpha blending using BitmapData.draw
22 June 2009 - 05:15 PM
Recently, I've taken to playing around with ActionScript 3 development using Flex, and I've run across something that puzzles me. Perhaps I'm missing something completely obvious, but...
Is there a way to perform (SourceColor*SourceAlpha)+(DestColor*(1-SourceAlpha)) style blending using a BimapData.draw() call without using a Pixel Bender shader? I've perused the possible parameters for BlendMode but none of them seem to offer this sort of blending. I currently use a pixel shader to perform the operation, but I was wondering if there is a more obvious solution, particularly one that doesn't force the requirement of Flash Player 10 as shaders do (not that that is a bad thing, imo).

Texture distortion on heightmapped terrain
14 October 2007 - 12:00 PM
When you texture a heightmapped terrain by tiling a texture across it, areas where there is a steep slope between adjacent heightmap samples tend to stretch the texture if the heightmap texture coordinates are evenly spaced. Until recently, I lived with it, but lately I've been wondering about ways to eliminate it. I attempted to re-calculate texture coordinates so that the actual length of the edge of a quad determines the spacing of texture coordinates along that edge, rather than the spacing of the samples in the x/z plane. So a quad with a steeper slope 'covers' more texture space than a quad with a shallower slope. On ridges and steep features parallel to the axes, this approach works well, as shown in these images. The first image is non-corrected terrain on a straight ridge, showing the stretching. The second image is corrected.
However, doing it this way poses problems, since the 'correction' is actually just additional distortion which gets propagated across the remainder of the heightmap, so that on flat areas you can still see how the texture was stretched to accomodate the curve of the feature, as in the following images. The first image here is a mound, with un-corrected texturing, and the second is the same mound corrected. You can see in the second how the 'correction' continues across the map in a very ugly fashion.
I've tried any number of means for calculating the correction, with no change in the result.
Does anybody know of any other means for correcting the distortion that doesn't result in this ugliness, or is it just something you have to deal with with regularly spaced grids? Or am I doing something stupid? The terrain map function that actually calculates the texture coordinates after the grid mesh is constructed is:
void CTerrainMap::calcTextureCoords() { float totals[m_meshmapwidth]; unsigned int x,z; for(x=0; x<m_meshmapwidth; ++x) totals[x]=0.0f; for(z=0; z<m_meshmapwidth; ++z) { float s=0.0f; for(x=0; x<m_meshmapwidth; ++x) { CVec3f prev, cur, delta; // Do s if(x>0) { prev=m_vertex.get((int)(x-1), (int)z); cur=m_vertex.get((int)(x), (int)z); delta=cur-prev; float len=delta.length() / m_samplespacing; s+=len; } // Do t if(z>0) { prev=m_vertex.get((int)(x), (int)(z-1)); cur=m_vertex.get((int)(x), (int)z); delta=cur-prev; float len=delta.length() / m_samplespacing; totals[x]+=len; } CVec2f tc; tc[0]=s*m_texturespacing; tc[1]=totals[x]*m_texturespacing; m_texcoord.set(x,z,tc); } } }
Another random level tutorial: Turbulence
22 May 2005 - 03:20 PM
I've got a rough draft (funny how all these articles remain perpetually in a rough draft state, isn't it? [grin] ) of a new Accidental Engine tutorial up on the site. Some Uses of Noise and Turbulence deals with a method for using Perlin noise to noisify images, maps or functions , and is useful for reducing the occurrence of straight lines or smoothly predictable patterns. Take a look at it and let me know what you think.
New tutorial up: Randomly Generate Levels
31 October 2004 - 04:34 PM
Thought this might be an appropriate place to post about this. I've uploaded an early version of part 1 of my random level generation tutorials. I'm hoping to do a few of them, since I still have a lot more to say.
This first part introduces the great and wondrous Tile Engine, which serves as a Lua-scripted test-bed for trying out different level generation techniques. It gives a quick run-down of the basic API the Tile Engine presents, and how to go about modifying and executing scripts. The Tile Engine is fairly simple, merely constructing the level according to the script then allowing the player to walk around using the NumPad. Pressing 'q' will exit, pressing 's' will take a screenshot, and pressing 'h' will re-display the help console.
The application is still very, very rough so use it at your own risk. I have fixed a few bugs since first introducing it to some folks on #gamedev, but more still linger.
More in-depth details for using the engine can be found in the tutorial itself. After introducing the Tile Engine, the tutorial then goes on to a general-case maze generation algorithm, and how it can be used as a basic building block for more complicated level construction.
You can take a look at the tutorial here. For anyone who has been following the square vs. isometric tiles thread in this forum, the Tile Engine is the framework used to generate the posted screenshots. [grin]
Take a look and let me know if you have any comments, criticisms or feedback of any sort.

DONATELLI: State results will be key
Despite the best efforts of this administration to enshrine an all-powerful federal government of virtually unlimited reach (see Obamacare), our federal system still reserves significant authority and responsibilities to the several states. As James Madison noted, our Constitution is a federal, not a national, document. States continue to be laboratories for innovative approaches to problems such as health care, education, welfare and transportation.
WILLIAMS: Happy 234th birthday, America
We tend to equate America with democracy, but we don't often truly understand its historical meaning. We also say that America is a republic, again without much thought as to what that means. So, what do these terms mean? Which are we and does it really matter?
BLANKLEY: Stay out of the mainstream
There seems to be one thing on which everyone can agree. From archconservative pundits to archliberal White House staffers responsible for Solicitor General Elena Kagan's confirmation to the Supreme Court, all agree that the test is whether she is in the "mainstream of current legal thought."
KUHNER: Impeach the president?
The Democrats are assaulting the very pillars of our democracy. As the debate on Obamacare reaches the long, painful end, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is confronting a political nightmare. She may not have the 216 votes necessary to pass the Senate's health care bill in the House.
HOLMES: National defense as first principle
Ever wonder why "provide for the common defence" appears right in the preamble of the U.S. Constitution, signed 222 years ago Thursday?
McCain's salute to checks and balances
Sen. John McCain saluted the Constitution's checks and balances and repudiated multiple Bush-Cheney usurpations on May 15 in Columbus, Ohio. But whether the salute will prove more than a restricted railroad ticket good for this day and train only remains uncertain. McCain, nevertheless, deserves applause for spotlighting the greatest threat confronting the country: executive despotism facilitated by secret government.

text: Fiat 126 with Supercharged Honda Blackbird power! Project Undertaken 15th July 2010 Ivan's 126 will probably be the most insane project we've tackled to date! He wanted something very small and very powerful, but the 'generic' bike engined mini just doesn't do it for him. Ivan decided on an early (aircooled) Fiat 126 as an interesting alternative, and then sourced an ex-Radical, Rotrex Supercharged Honda Blackbird 1100cc Bike engine to go in it.... Dyno'd at 330 bhp!! Our job is to combine the two. This will essentially involve constructing a spaceframe chassis, and fitting the Fiat 'shell over it, with bodywork mods to allow the wider track that will be neccessary. Here is the car as we received it. .....And stripped down! (photo shows suggested cornering technique!) With the car stripped down it's out with the plasma cutter and grinder and out with the entire floopan. The shell will now only be 'cosmetic' rather than structural (the strength will be in the spaceframe within) so the usual care (bracing etc) need not apply at this stage - we will true the shell up with the panels during the final 'fit-to-chassis' stage. The next step was to start designing the basics of the new chassis. This will be unequal length double-wishbone at the front, and trailing swing arms at the rear. CAD was used to design the mounting point dimensions within the space availabe. The constraints were the maximum track width we can sensibly run vs the width of the footwell (which sits between the front wishbone mounts) The wishbone lengths and relative mounting positions have been chosen to give optimum camber change during roll (given the space available). Caster will have some adjustment available via shims on the top wishbone bushes. With the basic mounting dimensions finalised it's time to build the floor frame, and then bend up the tubes for the basic cage members. Below you can see the main hoop and one of the front legs as well as a sneaky peek at that Supercharged Honda engine! Here we can see the cage taking shape. The fit is pefect, nice and snug to the 'a' pillars to minimise intursion into the rather small cockpit! The door bar 'cross' has been offset towards the rear to allow more space at the front for entry and exit. With the basic 'cage' complete, attention turns to the front extension of the chassis - the area where the front wishbones attach. Next work begins on the rear structure which will incorporate mounting points for the engine, transfer box and coil-overs. Here we see the engine hanging on it's upper mounts. The next step will be to construct a removable lower brace that will pick up on the lower engine mounts and transfer box. Meanwhile, the rear arms have been designed. These will consist of a frontal 'tube' with threaded bosses at each end which will be mounted to the chassis via heavy-duty rose-joints. The arm will then be fabricated from laser-cut 4mm steel sections which will support a large tube & flange which will in turn support the rear hub assemblies. In the first photo below you can see the arm being designed on CAD. The second picture shows the two front arm tubes as well as one of the rear tubes and matching flange. The third shot shows one of the four threaded bosses that will be inserted into, and welded to the front tubes to form the mounting points. The photos below then show the bosses being made. Another major obstacle to clear was getting drive from the motorbike transmission to the transfer box. We've had a splined shaft machined in EN24T steel that fits the input to the transfer box, and a drive 'cup' (also in EN24T) made up that fits over the new 14 tooth sprocket on the bike engine. These will be pre-heated and then TIG welded together to form a one-piece drive shaft. The original sprocket cover has been modified to allow the shaft to pass through it. With that hurdle overcome, it's time to mount the drive transfer box, and complete the rear of the chassis. The design we have come up with is effectively a 'bolt-on' rear subframe. 4 Bolts release this from the rest of the chassis, and one from the engine, allowing the whole subframe with transfer box attached to be dropped down and out of the car. The engine is then removed downwards through the space where the subframe was bolted. The components we designed for the rear arms are back from the laser cutters. Here you can see all the parts laid out, and a rough demonstration of how they go together. One pair of side-pieces needs rolling to the correct curve and then it'll be ready for welding up. The inner reinforcers will make the arms very strong. the last photo shows one of the front, upper wishbone mounting brackets alongside a front coilover mount. A jig was made to hold everything at the correct angles and the arms were then welded up. Threaded bosses were then turned and mounted to the chassis - these hold the rose-joints that the rear arms pivot on. One joint is mounted vertically, the other horizontally, allowing ajustment of both camber and toe. Mounts for the coil-overs were then made up and welded in place before fitting the hubs. Meanwhile the front wishbone and coilover mounts have been fitted, followed by the wishbones themselves, and the hubs assembled and fitted. Temporary metal struts are being put in place of the coilovers for the moment purely so we can fit wheels and roll it around. Once the lengths are confirmed the shocks and springs will be ordered. Here we've popped on a couple of wheels from an autograss car just to give the idea of what it will look like! There is still one final 'cross' to go in the chassis at the front, and a dash bar, but we'll need the shell back on to gauge the position of these. Next step is to get some suitable wheels fitted and cut the arches to allow the shell to go back over. A set of Caterham wheels (thanks Grahame!) have been fitted to get the chassis rolling. Measurements were then taken to allow an initial rough enlargment of the arches so we can get the shell dropped back onto the chassis. Then a bit more surgery to allow clearance at the front with lock applied, as well as an air intake area for the front mounted radiator. This will be joined later by the charge-cooler rad. A 'splitter' will be fabricated to duct air up through these radiators and out through a large bonnet scoop. The arches will also be fabricated in steel - the last photo shows a quick experiment at forming the large lip we intend to use with a smooth radius to the horizontal section.... This will all make sense later in proceedings!! With the shell off again, some more trivial and uneccessary metal is removed!! Next up is arch manufacturing! These are relatively straightforward with the right tools.... A piece of sheet steel is cut to size, before having a 30mm lip folded along the edge, with a gentle radius. A hand shrinker is then used along the lip to 'pull' the curve onto the arch. The sills were then folded up with a return lip at the bottom, and tacked in place. Moving on to the front end, a 'splitter' is fabricated in steel, incorporating the same return edge as the sills and arches. An air intake is then cut out of the lower front panel and small lip sections made up and spot welded in place to give it a smooth radius. The area behind the front panel is then completed by panelling in the inside of the inner arches with a tapered section to duct air to the compact but very thick radiator. This will be joined by a second smaller rad for the charge-cooler circuit. Ducts will be cut in the bonnet to exhaust the warm air. The Nearside front corner of the shell was quite rotten, and full of filler, so this was cut out and a corner sourced from another shell and let in. Due to the wheels taking up the space the door hinges once occupied (when lock is applied) we had to come up with a solution for hinging the doors. We decided upon a 'suicide' door arrangment with the doors opening backwards. The front and rear of the doors were refabricated along with the 'A' and 'B' pillars to allow this, and the handle/latch/lock arrangment fron the driver's door swapped to the front of the passenger's door, and vice-vera. Shell fabrication is now pretty much complete - just the rear corners to make, a couple of small rot repairs around the rear window, and then it'll be making up the shell-to-chassis mounts. |
