One to make the DLC.
One to sell it to Micro$oft.
And one to think up 2K's next idea to scam the community.
Dear 2K,
I get the impression that you hardly care about your community. Why? Because all I've seen is more DLC being relea$ed and little evidence to support the claims that you are actually "working on" a Rapture Metro playlist. There's this other developer called Bungie: "you know our motto, we deliver". Yeah, those guys. Well you could learn a lot from them. You might actually be working really hard, around the clock to try and get this DLC fixed (which would make angry comments at the 2K team unfair), but I doubt it, because you keep the community so ill-informed. Your administrators might as well respond with "No comment" to every inquiry about the playlist, because we'd get the same amount of information out of such a blank statement. You could be updating us on the progress of getting this patch made, but we've been left completely in the dark. So there's a lack of trust of 2K - from us, because there is a lack of respect from you - to your community.
Love from,
the 2K BioShock community, which you are slowly enraging and losing.

"Defeating the public option should be a top priority for the GOP this year," former Bush adviser Karl Rove wrote in the Wall Street Journal. "Otherwise, our nation will be changed in damaging ways almost impossible to reverse." Rove contends that "if Democrats enact a public-option health-insurance program, America is on the way to becoming a European-style welfare state."
But commentator Joe Conason argues that Medicare has been much better at controlling costs than private insurance, has much lower administrative costs, and has higher patient satisfaction. He asked: "If the private sector is truly the efficient solution to our costly, wasteful and unfair health care system, then why are they so frightened of a public plan?"

Bible Jeremiah
Jeremiah Chapter 3 in the Bible. What is this? ?
I see all this people away from God, then an analogy about his wife out? I'm confused ….
that Israel is and how after the Lord gave everything for them and for them, however, is still away of! he is asking the wheat has to do to recover them! puttign a drought is in them, famine and all these things to get Israel to return, but often! offered all and yet the left still! which is a picture of us too! it has all though, still roam and still wants the fight withthe human heart! He wants love it! He loves us and wants love in return! that's all I ask! How sweet!
Bible Jeremiah
Cannibalism in the Bible against the Quran (6)
This is the last article (1-6) in the series of cannibalism in the Bible against the Koran.
In Jeremiah 7:09 p.m. ET Zechariah 11:09 Bible state:
the love of God says:
I want to eat the flesh of his children
I want to eat the flesh of their daughters
They eat the flesh of the other
What you eat the flesh of another
I will not be her pastor
That die die
perish perish
This indicates Love God permits, licenses and permits for cannibalism (each other to eat the flesh), not only that, but the love of God to eat the flesh of their son and daughters.
Does God love authorize the Son-cannibalism?
Does God love the authorization of the girl-cannibalism?
Can a human being to eat the flesh of his (her) son or daughter?
I do not think God would like.
Of Moreover, none of this is in the Qur'an, and God does not always cannibalism, cannibalism Son, daughter of cannibalism and / or other form of cannibalism, even eat the flesh of his enemy. Cannibalism is absolutely forbidden in Islam.
Cannibalism in the Bible (6):
Jeremiah 7:09 p.m.
9 I eat the flesh of their son and daughters, and they eat them in the flesh during the stress of siege by the enemies who seek their lives. "
9 "I eat the flesh of their son and the flesh of their daughters, and they eat the flesh of the other in the siege and distress with which their enemies and those who seek their lives distress them. ""
English Standard Version
9 And I will eat the flesh of their son and daughters, and everyone eats the flesh of his neighbor in the siege and distress with which their enemies and those who seek their life afflict ".
King James Version
9 And I'm going to eat the flesh of their son and the flesh of their daughters, and everyone will eat the flesh of his friend on site and embarrassment, with his enemies, who seek their lives, shaking.
Zechariah 11:09
9 and says will not your pastor. Or "dying, dying and losing those who are perishing. Is that those who remain I eat one another's flesh. "
9Then said: "I will not tell you the grass. What for die, let it die, and what is destroyed, it is annihilated, and remaining of them eat the flesh. "
English Standard Version
9So said not to be your pastor. What is "to die, let it die. What I should be destroyed, it is destroyed. And those who are left to devour the flesh of another. "
King James Version
9Then I said, I do not think that anyone who dies, he dies, and that for be cut, cut and leave the rest to eat all the flesh of another.
Cannibalism in the Qur'an (6):
God never allows the cannibalism cannibalism cannibalism Son daughter and / or any other form of cannibalism, of eating the flesh of his enemy. Cannibalism is absolutely forbidden in Islam.

My contract with Orcon for phone and internet is up in the middle of April and I'm looking to move my phone service to 2talk and my internet to Vodafone naked. We have an on account mobile so 60GB for $55 is very attractive to us.
I've been trialling 2talk by redirecting my landline to it for the last couple of months and we're happy with the service for what it costs.
My question is what is the best process for moving my number and ISP at the same time. I talked to a Vodafone CSR yesterday and she was a bit lost by the whole process.
Ideally I'd like to have both ports happen on the same day but it that's impractical we can survive for a day or two without internet service by using my wifes phone as a wireless hotspot.
What would those of you who have gone through this process suggest? Do we port the phone number on a Monday and arrange for Vodafone to provision it as a new line later that week or is there a better way of doing it?

We climbed this route with the intention of reaching the steep crack above the overhanging wall on the right side of the sun. It has some excellent climbing mixed with some bs. For those who like the OW it's a fun outing. Pitch 1: Begin with a lichenous handcrack on the right side of the sun. Move left under the overhang lowdown. Continue straight up on the slab after the crack ends. There is a #2 Camalot placement partway up the slab (essential), and some small cam or nut placements in the crack just right of the giant hanging prow. 100' 5.9s. Pitch 2: 4th or easy 5th class. Scramble up behind the prow and tunnel through to the other side. Traverse across to the base of the steep wide crack (We roped up here). Pitch 3: Jam up to the overhang and crank through the chicken wing crux. The start of the pitch is a little lichenous, but the pro is bomber the whole way. Belay in the crack above. 5.10d 50'. Continue up easy 4th-class slabs until it is possible to walk off right.
single set of TCUs, Camalots 1-4, double 1-3, a #3 Big Bro would help for the second on the crux.
The lichen covered start of pitch 1 is much better than it looks and if it was cleaned up a bit would be quite good 5.9 underclinging and jamming. The upper part of the 1st pitch looks like a total gimme from the ground but is much steeper than it looks. When I led the pitch I missed the crucial #2 camalot placement and was looking at a career ending fall from the 5.7 moves at the top. The pitch could probably use a bolt even with the #2 placement, this would allow one to reach the head wall without an spulunking, but because of its moderate grade it should probably be left as is. I am surprised that this line (as far as we could tell from Hubble's and Trout's books) had not yet been climbed. The key was finding the "cave pitch" that leads to the upper head wall, nice job Brian.

One of the reasons My First Mac has started the Favorite Things tips is so little gems that make using a Mac great are discovered by everyone. Instant calculations is one of those hidden gems that have been sitting there right before your eyes this whole time. And it's one click away…
So how do you get to pop in the math calc that you want some quick verification on? Just click the Spotlight icon in the upper right of the menu bar and start typing. As you type, you answer is displayed in real time, so it will adjust to the data you are putting in. Check it out:
And because it's in your menu bar all the time, you can access this function from any app.
This works for your basic run-of-the-mill calcs. I use it to be sure I get the right number when working on something else. For instance, If I'm laying out a web page and subtracting the width of one column from another, it really comes in handy to verify what I think the answer might be.
Another handy thing is that if you hit Enter with the Calculator line item highlighted, Spotlight will launch the Calculator app. Apple screwed up on launching it cleared rather than with your data from Spotlight, but oh well.
Hidden Calculator app tip #1: Choose Show Paper Tape from the Window menu to get another screen that tracks what you've input. I love this for adding many numbers together and checking that I entered it right.
Hidden Calculator app tip #2: Need more power than a standard calculator? Get a Scientific Calculator from the View menu. You can also find a Programmer's Calculator there too.

Adorable and practical, these colourful rolls of tape will make you want to wrap everything in sight! Perfect for decorating stationery or making the dullest office paperwork sweet and cheerful, the uses for these bright beauties are endless.
Read the delightful story of MT masking tape below (courtesy of Telegram Paper Goods).
Originally trading as makers of fly catching paper in the early 1920s, Japanese company Kamoi have been producing various forms of adhesive masking tapes for over 80 years. A few years ago, three women – a gallery owner, an artist and a graphic designer – made a trip to the production factory. While the tapes were primarily being manufactured for industrial usage, the women had become enthused by using the small range of coloured rice-paper tapes decoratively. To demonstrate, they presented the company with 'Little Press" – a small book of collages and patterns made using the tapes. Following their visit, the women became inspired by the traditional processes involved in the production of the tapes. They presented a second book to the company, featuring the work of 17 artists, who had designed patterns and prints of masking tapes they wished to have. Following an exhibition in Tokyo and in their home city, Kamoi realised the ladies' ideas, launching the masking tape (mt) label with a wealth of single colour and patterned tapes focussed on "sweetness and functionality". Beautifully packaged, thoughtfully produced, the mt range elevates adhesive tape from everyday stationery to a unique, surprisingly versatile, art, craft and design object.

Product Type: Raleigh Bike Accessories
Newest Review: ... Raleigh Gel Saddle== I decided to go for a Raleigh saddle as my bike was a Raleigh and it is a decent named brand in the biking world... more
"Boing!"...... said Zebedee
Raleigh Gel Saddle
Member Name: Bellroyd
Raleigh Gel Saddle
Date: 05/05/11
Advantages: Makes bike riding rather civilised!
Disadvantages: None really - it should last a lifetime
Last year at around this time, we used to do a lot of cycling, having got ourselves a couple of cheap second hand bikes.
My wife had a pink one with sturdy tyres and a thick frame. Mine was an older bike - the racing sort with skinny little tyres and a thin saddle that threatened at times to part one butt cheek permanently from the other - not a good look... or feel (although......NO! - stop before you start, Bellroyd!). That coupled with the fact that it was set a bit high for me and had rusted on at that height meant that I needed to look at some solutions.
At first the trusty WD40 wouldn't do the trick and loosen the saddle to allow me to drop it down a bit. I was a bit miffed - it has never let me down before. I finally managed it and it did feel slightly more comfortable to ride. However, there was still a degree of discomfort there and I went off cycling for a short while. Bike use was occasional rather than frequent over the winter - somehow the motivation wasn't there.
Just last month though, when it started to get a bit warmer, my wife came back from the town one day with one of these Raleigh Gel saddles. When she told me that she had bought one, I was slightly annoyed. I had seen these before and they were huge - designed for ladies who are broad of beam. I thought I would look stupid with one of these clamped onto a gent's racing bike.
However, I was pleasantly surprised when Ermentrude showed it to me because it was nicely streamlined and just looked like a better padded and more streamlined version of the one I was having problems with.
It's nice and narrow at the front which suits the male anatomy for reasons which you can readily imagine and it's nicely sprung. It really does feel good under your bum - which is a phrase I seldom use. It was easy to fit and having given it the once over, I was impressed by the stitching and general finishing. It certainly looked the part and being black it suited the bike. It has a nice grey flash on it and some branding - which I could have done without really but that's the way of the world.
It has a firm but yielding gel inner which feels good to prod and which is obviously the part that makes for a comfortable ride - together with the substantial springs to help you ride out the bounce. Boing! Boing! Boing! A ride around the lanes now is much more pleasant and you don't get the jarring that you used to get when you encounter the holes in the road. It also resists water penetration which the old foam inner saddle it replaced failed to satisfactorily do.
It cost Ermentrude over £20 from a local sports store and that was supposedly on offer - I paid less than that for the bike when I bought it! Now I see that it has been reduced on Amazon to only £13.88 including free delivery! Damn and blast!
If your backside is as big as a small country and large sections of it flop over the side whilst you are riding, then this saddle could be your salvation. Not just you fat bottomed girls, either. Some of us blokes could do with being a bit more streamlined as well. (Note to self!)
Time for bed!
Summary: Especially good value now it's reduced

Lafayette, Louisiana Officer with his new kitten from Francy |
Please come for a free tour. Francy |
WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE FOREVER? (Sing Along) Would you like to live forever, in a paradise on earth? Where every man would be your brother; What would such a world be worth? Would you be willing to give up- all your bombs, your swords, your guns? And beat them all to plowshears; let the Kingdom come? Would you like to live forever, strange though it may seem? It's time to call the meek together, And it's really not a dream. Would you like to see the sunrise, on a clean and redeemed earth? And no more sickness, no more tear filled eyes; now what would such a world be worth? Would you be willing to do without- your factories, freeways, smoke machines? And like the wolf lie down with the lamb, if you know just what i mean. Oh would you like to live forever, strange though it may seem. It's time to call the meek together, and it's really not a dream. Yes would you like to live forever, in a paradise on earth? And if you'd like to live forever, tell me, what would such a world be worth?

A six-hundred point single day drop in the Dow is enough to leave any investor queasy; but Lexington financial advisor Robert Suggs says now is not the time for knee-jerk reactions.
"If your goals are remaining the same, there's no reason to worry about it," said Suggs "This is what it feels like to buy low."
That means if you've always wanted to get into the market or increase your investment there isn't a better time.
"When I was younger, I had the misconception the market was a place to go and make some quick and easy money and that's just not the truth," adds Suggs.
Suggs agrees that congressional wrangling over the debt ceiling and the historic downgrade of the United State's credit rating has put a scare into wall street.
"I definitely think there's a lot of fear that gets brought into situations like this, and I think that's a lot of what you're seeing."
But Suggs says he hasn't had any of his clients pull their money out of the stock market yet.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - — The last time Bill Walsh brought his Stanford Cardinal to Notre Dame Stadium he left thoroughly satiated, even to the extent of ordering a case of wine for the plane trip home.
His Cardinal, in the fifth game of his return to college football, outplayed Notre Dame, beating the Irish 33-16.
According to a book on the 1992 season by Lowell Cohn, Walsh had entered game week before Notre Dame in a fit of depression with a myriad of self-doubts even though he had coached the San Francisco 49rs to three Super Bowl victories.

Descriptions des films
Dans la mesure des ressources disponibles, les descriptions proposées ici proviennent de sources contemporaines de la sortie du film : catalogues des maisons de production ou presse à grand tirage ou spécialisée. Quand il na pas été possible de trouver de description dépoque, on a retenu celles fournies par des archives ou des chercheurs.
The film begins on a set designed to be an artists studio. A man wearing a smock and flowing tie, with an artists palette in one hand and a brush in the other, is studying a three-dimensional full-length painting of an unclothed woman. The artist backs away, as if to get a better perspective, and the figure comes to life, stretching out her arms to him. He approaches the now live figure of the woman and falls to his feet.
Niver, Kempt R., Early Motion Pictures. The Paper Print Collection in the Library of Congress, Washington, Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division, Library of Congress, 1985, p. 138.
The opening scene shows the interior of an artists studio. Mephisto appears mysteriously and signals the pictures to come to life. They step down from the frames and walk forward, admiring their costumes. Mephisto then touches the artist on the shoulder, awaking him, and disappears. The artist, after rubbing his eyes sees the picture on his right hand side, and jumps to embrace her. After embracing her once, he makes a second attempt, but she disappears. The artist now wakes up, jumps to his feet and run to see if the pictures are still in the frames. He examines them, and finding that they are still fast on the wall, realizes that he has been dreaming and seeks consolation in the bottle.
Edison Films, No. 288, July 1906, p. 44.
Note : le titre du film dans le catalogue est Artists Dream.
The professor is a strenuous individual who is so carried away in his instruction to a pretty young girl that he attempts to make real love to her. Her father catches him at it and throws him bodily through window. Very well done and very funny.
Niver, Kemp R., Biograph Bulletins, 1896-1908, Los Angeles, Locare Reaserch Group, 1971, p. 86.
The first visible indication of what is to happen is a stage with undecorated backs of flats. A man, dressed as a choreographer and accompanied by four women in dancers practice clothes, enters. The ballet master attempts to teach all of them to dance some steps in unison. The film ends as though he has given up in despair because one of the dancers, who is especially large and ungainly, cannot follow the pattern. All of the scenes were photographed from one position.
Niver, Kempt R., Early Motion Pictures. The Paper Print Collection in the Library of Congress, Washington, Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division, Library of Congress, 1985, p. 21.
An artist is painting a picture of a woman clothed in a full-length leotard, but he appears weary and fall asleep. By either stop motion or a quick dissolve, the full figure of the women is changed to a similarly costumed one with the skeleton visible. The artist awake as though from a bad dream and the skeleton is transformed back again into an attractive woman.
Niver, Kempt R., Early Motion Pictures. The Paper Print Collection in the Library of Congress, Washington, Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division, Library of Congress, 1985, p. 14.

Note : Description sous réserve. On ne trouve dans les Biograph Bulletins aucun film portant le titre The Artists Studio. Le synopsis, reproduit ici, du film A Model Courtship tourné par Bitzer en 1903 correspond toutefois à la description de la copie de la Library of Congress. Vu la concordance des dates et de lattribution, il sagit probablement du même film.
This scene opens with a view of a stage setting and private box. After Miss Dolly Lightfoot has finished a clever dance, a card is placed upon the stage announcing an extra turn. An Italian vocalist appears and starts to sing. He is received with a shower of missiles, to which he pays no attention, until he is finally floored. He rushes from the stage and reapers with an umbrella for protection. He defiantly continues to sing. Two stage hands rush from the wings, seize him, and drag him from the stage.
Edison Films, No. 200, January Supplement, 1904, p.12.
The stage-setting represents a bedroom. An Italian ballet-master, Signor Saltarello, undresses while his maid prepares the bed and wishes him a good-night. As he is absorbed in the study of a new step for a ballet which he is about to compose he makes several trials of steps and goes to bed dissatisfied at not having found the one desired. He falls asleep while beating time and dreams. Two dancers appear in a vision and dance at first upon his bed, then upon the floor. These two dancers are merged into one who executes a very remarkable step in an eccentric dance. When she has finished her turn, she falls into the arms of the ballet-master who in his dream prepares to kiss her, but just as Saltarello presses his lips to hers she vanishes and the mother of the dancer appears in the place of the daughter. In his rage the ballet-master gives the old woman a sound thrashing upon his bed. He rolls to the floor while administering terrific blows and he awakes with a leap to find that he is drubbing his pillow and bolster. At the noise from the great commotion the maid returns to ask if her master has not become insane. The ballet-master recognizing that it was all a dream nearly bursts with laughter.

Assis à son piano, M. Tape-Dur tente plusieurs fois de développer une mélodie, mais sa Muse nest décidément pas au rendez-vous. Vaincu par la fatigue, il sendort dans son fauteuil tout en continuant de battre la mesure. La déesse de la Musique apparaît devant lui ; elle le transporte dans un ravissant palais où hommes et femmes dansent, enchantés par la musique quils entendent. Tape-Dur bat toujours la mesure, lorsquil se réveille. Il saperçoit à son grand désespoir que le beau morceau quil a encore dans loreille nest en fait que le fruit incongru de son imagination surmenée. Furieux, il veut se suicider en senfonçant sa baguette dans le cur. Voyant que cela est impossible, il devient enragé et fonce tête baissée dans le piano, avec une telle force quil se tue en faisant exploser linstrument.

Seated before his piano, Mr. Bang-the-Box is trying to improvise a bit, but his muse somehow refuses to work. He starts on his theme, but cannot develop it satisfactorily, and he begins anew several times. At last, overcome by fatigue, he falls asleep in his armchair while beating the time of his embryonic composition. The goddess of music appears before him. She bears him away to a lovely palace where the men and women dancers, enchanted by her music, revel in the pleasures of the ball. Mr. Bang-the-Box continues to beat the time most energetically as he recovers his senses. To his despair it finally dawns upon him that the wonderful composition he has created was only a fantasy of his overwrought imagination. In his rage he seeks to end his life by trying to stick his baton into his heart. Finding this an impossible feat, he becomes so furious that he shoves his head into the piano with such force that it kills him and causes the piano to explode.
Supplement No. 28, Star Film, [sd], p. 1An actor having delayed in a café, finds himself late for his engagement. He rushes out, boards a racing automobile and reaches the theatre where he finds everybody greatly excited over his non-appearance. He bolts across the stage and up to his dressing room, knocking down people in his way. He changes his clothes amid a score of stage folk berating him for his tardiness. Finally he rushes down the stairs butting into various people, among them the managers, and knocking over a waiter carrying articles to the actors. He reaches the tire-door and in his frenzy and haste batters that down and leaps against the back door of the stage setting. He lifts it up and thus goes before the foot-lights. The audience, angered, bombards him with programs, pillows and other things. This film is full of life and movement. There are a dozen highly ludicrous episodes which will cause roars of laughter.
Where all is not Gold that Glitters.
It may be true that the eyes are the windows of the soul, but how very often does the actor or actress have to shade those windows with the blinds of artifice, as does the heroine of this Biograph story. Mrs. Bailey, the young widowed mother of a child, now ill, and with but faint chance of recovery, must undergo the torture of smilingly responding to the generous plaudits of a thoughtless throng at the theatre, while her hearty is torn with anguish that only a mother can appreciate, for Earth holds no symbol, has no living sign to image forth a mothers deathless love. Tis the opening night of a big production at the opera house, and at eight oclock we still find the distracted actress in her humble apartment bending over the wan figure of her little one, while her own mother stands by in mute distress. A knock at the door signals the entrance of the call-boy, with a note from the manager to say that she must come at once to the theatre or suffer the loss of her position- a thing she can ill afford as it furnishes the only revenue, meagre as it is, with which she maintains her little home. Madly rushing to the theatre, she hastens into her costume and appears at the entrance just as the curtain raises. Here is the crucial test of the actors art. With heart as heavy as stone, she trips on to be greeted by the thousand smiling faces of pleasure-seekers in anxious anticipation of her dance, which is a feature of the performance. The dance over she exits to be met by her mother, who has been sent by the doctor to bid her hurry home if she would see her loved one alive. Meanwhile there are storms of applause from an insistent public, soliciting an encore; hence she is aroused from her apparent lethargy by the stage manager, who fairly pushes her back on the stage. Again before the audience, her art befriends her, but in the course of the dance a mothers intuition asserts itself and in her minds eye she sees her little one-but only for a moment, for the audience is thrown into a wild tumult, which tends to recall her to the exigencies of her position and so she finishes the number. Dashing wildly from the theatre to her home, she arrives- but too late. For when she meets the kind-hearted doctor at the door, her worst fears are confirmed. The scene that follows positively defies description, and we can only say that it is unquestionably the most powerful ever shown in motion pictures.

Two sets were used in this drama of a supposed incident in the life of Edgar Allan Poe. One set is the interior of his home, and the other is two rooms in a publishing house. The film begins by showing a desperately ill woman in bed. A man with flowing hair and a mustache enters, attempt to comfort his wife, and then sits down at a table to write. By the use of stop-action photography, a raven appears and perches on top of a bookcase. His manuscript completed, Poe reads it to his wife and then rushes off to sell it. His poem his rejected by several individuals in the publishers office, until, as a last resort, he forces his way into the editors office. The editor buys the poem. Poe hurries home only to find that he is too late and his wife is dead.

Mozart feels compelled to finish a final requiem as he fears death is quickly approaching. Although the doctor has specifically ordered Mozart not to play or compose, Mozart begins a composition after listening to his student play the violin and having visions of three of his operas: Cherubinos Romanza from The Marriage of Figaro, Don Juans Serenade from Don Giovanni, and a scene from The Magic Flute. After Mozart has finished his requiem a group of friends comes to visit him, and as they sing his last composition to him, Mozart dies.

Static electricity is often considered to be the effect of electric charges at rest on insulators or insulated conductors. And this is surely true in part.
When a nylon slip clings to the body, or when you have problems leafing through the pages of a magazine, you are witnessing a static effect of electric charges. But the buildup of charge distributions in a thundercloud or on a person walking along a hotel corridor are dynamic processes, and the possible resulting discharges can hardly be called static. Let's look a little closer at some such examples.
Charging by Walking
The charging of a person walking on an insulating floor covering is described here in a simplified way.
The contact and friction between a person's shoe soles and the floor separate a charge q for each step. If she walks with a rate of n steps per unit of time, this corresponds to a charging current, ic, where ic = nq. In this way she achieves a voltage V that at first will increase with an average rate of
where C is her capacitance. The voltage does not increase smoothly with the constant rate just given, but literally as a step function. This is further complicated by the fact that the capacitance decreases when her foot is lifted and increases again when her foot is put back down on the floor. The voltage, V, will keep increasing, but not infinitely, because the effect of the charging current will be counteracted by a decay current, id, given by
where R is the resistance from the person to ground through or across the floor covering. The voltage has reached its maximum value, Vm, when the two currents balance each other, which is shown as
Let's play a little with this equation. It is easy enough to determine R, the decay resistance for a given floor and shoe combination. The step rate, n, is, according to an ISO standard, two steps per second, that is, n = 2 s1. The charge transferred per step, q, looks more difficult to handle, but we can estimate a reasonable upper limit in the following way.
If the breakdown field strength in the space between an elevated sole and the floor is Eb, then the maximum charge density, m, on the sole is m = oEb, where o = 8.85 1012 F m1 is the permittivity of vacuum and approximately that of air (see Figure 1).
Hence if the area of the shoe sole is A, then the maximum charge transferred per step is qmax = AoEb, and the maximum voltage will be Vm = nAoEbR.
Assuming we can consider the combination of an elevated foot and the floor's surface a pair of planar, parallel electrodes, Eb ~ 3 ~ 106 V m1. The sole's area may be about 150 cm2, depending on the shoe size of course. Entering these values into the equation for Vm (and considering their uncertainties), we find that Vm ~ 106 R when Vm is measured in volts and R in ohms.
Now suppose we want to be sure that our person does not get charged to more than 100 V by walking. The equation for Vm tells us that the decay resistance has to fulfill the condition
The same equation further suggests that the maximum charging current a person may produce by walking on an insulating floor is on the order of 1 µA. Although the capacitance, C , of the person has no influence on the maximum voltage, it does, in cooperation with the decay resistance, determine the rate with which the voltage increases.
After a time, = RC, the voltage will have reached (approximately) 63% of the maximum value. It can also be mentioned that the energy, W, stored electrostatically in the field of the charged person is given by
However, the effect this energy will have if discharged into the environment, on an electronic component, for instance, also depends upon the person's resistance, Rp, which may be described more or less as the resistance through the person from the location of the charge to the point of discharge.
Charging of Liquids
A process somewhat similar to the one we've just described above is the flow of an insulating liquid through a tube.
Suppose a liquid is flowing with a volume flow rate of u(m3 s1) and has a specific mass (kg m3) and specific charge density of µ(C kg1). The flow constitutes a current ic given by ic = uµ. If the liquid is collected in a conductive, semiinsulated container (Figure 2) with a resistance R to ground and a capacitance C, the voltage of the container will increase toward a maximum value Vm, given by Vm = icR = uµR, and the energy stored will approach a maximum value Wm, given by
Assuming u = 103 m3 s1 (1 liter per second or 16 gallons per minute), = 103 kg m3, µ = 106 C kg1, R = 1010 , and C = 200 pF, we then have
ic = 106A = 1 µA,
Vm = 104 V, and
Wm = 102 J = 10 mJ.
The maximum values of voltage will, in practice, have been reached within 10 seconds.
An essential difference between this process and the one of a person being charged by walking is that with the flowing liquid there is a much wider range of charging currents. While we're not going to go into the questions of how or why the liquid gets charged in the first place, or how the charging may be affected by whether the pipe is conductive or insulative, it should be noted that the liquid must have a volume resistivity higher than approximately 107 m for any appreciable charging to take place.
This means (among other things) that water cannot charge. Mind you, it cannot charge because of flowing. If spraying is involved, the situation is completely different. In such circumstances, probably all liquids may charge.
The Electrofilter and Spray Painting
Now let's turn to something completely different.
The two examples we've just discussed are both cases of what you might call "unwanted static electricity," possible causes of production problems or even explosion risks. But we must remember that static electricity has many applications, as we'll see by looking at a couple of examples that also involve a certain degree of nonstatic behavior.
Possibly the most important device based on static electric principles is the electrostatic filter (or simply, electrofilter) without which, for example, it would be impossible to clean the smoke from traditional power plants.
In an electrofilter (Figure 3), the air is passed through a region where air ions are being produced by a corona discharge. Some of the ions will attach to particles in the passing air. This passing air is then brought into an electric field where the particles may plate out on one of the electrodes.
Whether a particle actually lands on the collector electrode depends upon the magnitude of the airflow, the field strength, and the charge on and the mass of the particle.
Obviously the larger and heavier the particle is, the more difficult it will be to pull it out of the airflow. On the other hand, the larger the particle is, the more ions may attach to it, making the deflecting force larger. An electrofilter should not be mistaken for an electret filter where the electric part of the filtering process depends primarily upon polarization forces.
Another important application of electrostatic principles is spray painting.
If a liquid is vaporized from a grounded spray gun some of the droplets formed are likely to be charged, but not in a predictable way.
If, however, the gun is held at a voltage, for example a positive one as shown in Figure 4, the droplets will leave the gun with a positive charge proportional to the field strength at the nozzle, and hence to the voltage of the gun. The charge will also be proportional (approximately) to the square of the radius of the droplet. If a grounded, conductive object is placed in front of the gun, the droplets will be deflected toward the object because of the field from the gun. By adjusting the airflow rate and the voltage of the gun, it is possible to ensure that practically all the droplets will land on the object.
Although there will be field lines "ending" on any part of the object, obviously the part facing the gun where the field is strongest will get most of the paint. However, by rotating the object to be covered, it is possible to make the covering very uniform. It should be mentioned that the method described here is only one of a variety of surface treatments using electrostatics.
I hope these simple examples have helped demonstrate that static electric processes often involve dynamic features. So how then can we define a static electric process? I don't believe there is a simple definition. Or rather I think there are two different types of static processes.
Obviously static electricity as traditionally defined encompasses a lot of processes that we call static, although they may have some dynamic features, like decay currents and discharges. But as the examples of the electrofilter and spray painting have shown, we sometimes call processes electrostatic even though there are no charged insulators or insulated conductors involved because the necessary fields are provided by generators with an electromotive force.
And it seems to me that what makes both types of processes static is the fact that the charge carriers are created by the process itself, like corona ions attaching to the smoke particles in the electrofilter or paint droplets being surface-charged in the electrostatic spray gun.
I'm sure somebody will consider these distinctions too elaborate, but then let's hear a better one. Of course, we could just settle for the old saying from the high school student that static is what your dad gives you a lot of, when you don't come home until three o'clock on Saturday morning.
Niels Jonassen, MS, DSc, is retired from the Technical University of Denmark, where he has conducted classes on static electricity, ions, and indoor climate. After retiring, he divided his time among the laboratory, his home, and Thailand, writing on static electricity topics and pursuing cooking classes. He passed away in 2006.

Smallest restaurant in Europe for sure. At the very top of some very steep stairs is a fantastic pancake place with huge delicious pancakes which are very appetising. Sweet or savoury pancakes can be enjoyed here
This place is typically local food & very quaint here you can see a lovely collection of queens memrobilia
Queens pancake is their house special. Do note the pancake house is only open friday & weekends.
Yes, it is up some very steep stairs, located close to the bottom of the Red Light District, I go to this place every trip I make to A'Dam. Arno is the owner and Louie is usually there cooking fresh pancakes. I usually ask what the special is, usually some fresh fruit topping with fresh cream on top...MMMMMMMMM! A cuppa Earl Grey alongside and I am ready for another hour or so walking the canals.
Sept-2010 update---Arno still there but Louie is gone---his arthritis did not agree with those stairs---the fresh blackberry and creme pancake and the earl grey from Arno were still excellent and filling----when it arrived to my table, the 3-4 people around all gasped at its beauty---wish I had taken a pic!
Favorite Dish:
Whatever the fresh fruit special pancake is for the day.
Everytime when I stay in Amsterdam I go to Upstairs. They cook the best pancake. The staffs are very friendly and the service is the best in Amsterdam.
To climb up the stairs is an adventure, to go down you will be very careful.
The decoration with a lot of teapots it´s very nice.
I like the atmosphere.

U.S. Cybersecurity Plans Lagging, Critics Say -- Washington Post
More than a year after President Obama made a White House speech proclaiming that the protection of computer networks was a national priority, the federal government is still grappling with key questions about how to secure its computer systems as well as private networks deemed critical to U.S. security.
The administration unveiled a cyberspace policy review last year, and Obama appointed a White House cyber coordinator to synchronize the government's efforts in December.

Stock markets and exchange rates continue to see-saw.
Record rises and falls on successive days look dramatic, but too much should not be read into them.
The markets are nervous, and because they are nervous they are irrational. There is no real reason for most of the rises or the falls.
There has long been a general need for revaluations, most of them downward, after the over-optimistic pricing of the last decade.
Eventually, however, stocks, currencies, property, and interest rates will all settle at more realistic levels.
It may be that part of the instability is due to the leadership vacuum which is caused by the American Constitution leaving a gap of almost three months between a Presidential election and the winner taking office.
Yet it may also be that this gap may have its uses. It is a time for the markets to get some things out of their system. It is also a useful cooling off period after the election that gives everyone, including the winner, time to adjust to the new reality.
It may be some time before prosperity returns but some stability should return to the markets fairly early in the New Year.
Until then, we just have to ride the see-saw.

Just A Temporary Setback In The Noble Smart People Battle Against The Rule Of Law
August 10, 2012 Leave a comment
Some of the usual suspects (as well as the politically motivated) are having (or feigning) a hissy fit over the government's announcement that they will not prosecute Goldman (i.e. some of Goldman's employees or ex-employees) over the Abacus deal in which Goldman bought a thing from X and sold it to Y without overruling the financial decisionmaking of both X and Y and/or somehow ensuring that both X and Y simultaneously made money on a zero-sum trade, as (everyone now agrees) market-makers are morally obligated to do.
None of these usual suspects are stating in any concrete terms what they think Goldman's employees should have been prosecuted for. There just should have been some prosecutions, for like whatever. Bad stuff happening. Whatever. Someone somewhere needs to be prosecuted, they're sure of it. The fact that there will be no prosecutions, for something or other unspecified, means the death of democracy, the smothering of widows, the system doesn't work and has been captured and/or sold out by the opposite-political-party-from-the-one-you-happen-to-like.
This rhetoric is nothing new: it is symptomatic of the growing post-rule-of-law consensus among Smart People. You see, Smart People all agree they shouldn't really have to cite laws to prosecute people anymore. That is too much of a hassle. They just need to cite their feelings. Or perhaps 'principles'. On the internet. The consensus is overwhelming and as exhibit A I note the fact that I, a total pathetic nobody (and certainly not Smart) will likely be one of the very few people on the internet daring to even break from it by not whining about, even defending in a way, this decision not to prosecute over Abacus. Fortunately, I matter not and no one gives a rip what I think. If anything, I will at most be shunned and ridiculed for being such a cretin on this subject.
That's why you should have nothing but confidence that the Justice Department's decision not to prosecute people based on Smart People Feelings in this particular instance is but a temporary setback. Or, it may indeed be true that Goldman has powerful lobbyists, allies (and aspiring employees) in government, has captured regulators, and all that jazz, but don't worry: that would just make them the exception that proves the rule. Because (even if you buy all that, which to be clear, I kinda do) just imagine all the people who work for firms out there who aren't Goldman: presumably, without Goldman's protection and connections as displayed in this instance, they can be prosecuted for diddly squat at the drop of a hat. So, that should help you all rest easy, since that's exactly what you want.

4 Tips for Becoming a Better Medical Interpreter.
Whether you are a recent graduate from an interpreting program, or have 20 years of experience working at a medical facility, here are some tips to help you become better at your job. Medical interpreting is a fairly new career, and many health care professionals and patients don't know the difference between being a bilingual individual than being a professional interpreter specializing in the healthcare field. At the same time, the new federal standards for being an interpreter in a medical facility have put this career in high demand, so there is more competition for full time jobs and freelance positions (especially in the Boston area). What are you going to do to become an interpreter in high-demand? What are you going to do to stay fresh and to help raise the bar on the perception that medical interpreters have? Here are some tips that can position you as a leader in the field:
1. Learn More about Medicine: Set weekly goals to learn more about medicine. You can start by writing down procedures or illnesses you come across at an appointment, and check out books from the local library. This will open the door to a new world.
2. Don't stop Practicing your Proficiency: Some medical encounters can be very stressful, and it is not the best time for you to forget an essential word. There are many classes being offered as refresher courses, some are targeted to some specialties and some are for general vocabulary. If the medical facility, or other place, is offering a free seminar for a specific sickness (usually they are free, because they are for family members of the person with the illness), go to it. Bring a notepad, interpret what the speaker is saying in your head, and take notes on the terms you are not familiar with. This can also help improve your taking notes technique.
3. Have a Heart: As a former medical interpreter, I understand that once you are in the field for some time, it is easy to get frustrated at the patients when you are doing all you can for them to understand, when they don't listen but instead come up with questions or comments that have nothing to do with the meeting, etc. First of all, remember that you are the voice in the scenario, and you are not the one the provider will get annoyed at if the patient is not "present" in the appointment. Second, usually if you are requested is because the patient doesn't know English at all, and this usually also represents their level of education. Have a little sympathy and empathy, remember that it is hard enough for them to be in foreign soil away from family, and they are not to blame for their lack of "manners".
4. Get the National Certification: You can find more information at the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreter's website (http://www.certifiedmedicalinterpreters.org/prerequisites) regarding your specific language, but this professional credential will give you more credibility around the country.

Just wanted to update everyone on the down low (low down, no doubt) on my happenings since I've moved to DC:
- Started working with Voto Latino helping out with their marketing/outreach efforts
- Attended my first press conference with Janet Napolitano
- Traveled to San Francisco to attend DreamForce and visited @laura at the Twitter office
- Finally got to visit New York City (get a rope) and attended an interesting event hosted by MTV3. I did get to stay in Times Square, though. Oh, as I was walking to Penn Station, I ran into Carmen, my old coworker (out of all the people in NYC)!
As for the day-to-day living, it's actually been quite surprising. The neighborhood I live in (Takoma) is very suburban. I got my haircut at a barber shop straight up from the movies. The cape that Calvin (the barber) put on me was an African print. I feel accepted.
The people here are actually quite nice and are always there to lend a helping hand to a Texan.
That's another thing. People love it when I say I'm from Texas (even though they still have a bitter taste in their mouth).
Aside from the random threats that DC'ers are used to (including a guy shouting how he hated the federal government on the metro all the way home), it's a sophisticated town.
With that said, I still miss everything in Austin. The food. The friends. And, of course, my family.
I needed this though and I'm enjoying it!
