Hi, guys. First of all I want to make clear that despite what the title might suggest, this thread is not intended for discussing the success that any hardware based physics implementation could have. It's just intended as a place to show what is your idea of what high level physics could bring on to the table in the near future. An off-topic "discussion" that derived into PhysX in the graphics section has made me think that many people might not have a clear idea of what hardware accelerated physics could mean for the gaming panorama. I have many ideas and I'm hoping to see much more from you guys, so let's write them here and make a good compilation. You can describe features or new ways that you think physics could be used on, or you can just use one known/catalogued feature to describe a gameplay situation you would love to see in a game. I do have to ask for something though: try to describe it as better as you can. Something like "destructible environments" alone, for example, doesn't really describe anything, because it might not mean the same to everybody. Aditionally, you can describe more than one situation for the same feature, so don't fear to describe the one you like. Maybe the best way of describing what you think is by writing some specific gameplay examples or scenes or whatever you think it would be amazing to see in a game. You'll have plenty examples in my post. So let's get started. Obviously, because I am the first one, I will take the easiest ideas. Fully destructible environments. How to best describe it, if not by saying it has to be as close to reality as posible? First of all, for what we are looking for here, Crysis has not destructible environments, we are looking for more. Let's start by thinking of a mix of Crysis, Warmonger, Red Faction and Worms. Basically you can destroy everything, walls, the ceiling, the floor, furniture... Everything would be made by elemental subobjects/particles, but not as they are today, where a chair is made by 5 pieces for example. The walls would be made of actual bricks, concrete from small pieces and dust (maybe in some years ),wood structures from splinters and when you shoot at them in one place it breaks in that place, while the rest remains "intact". A rocket to a wall makes a hole by displacing the proper bricks and nothing else, but it does affect the structutural equilibrium of the building. In fact, columns and beams actually sustain the building as they would do in real life and you can take down a building by destroying them. A clear example of how this could make gameplay better: remember COD fights in the cities with tanks destroying buildings? But the destruction of the buildings is triggered and after the building is down you can take cover in the remaining walls, because you know they are invulnerable. Not only that, on a second run you already know which one is safe, so replay value for that specific and great feeling of being vulnerable is lost (war is that after all). Now imagine everything can be destroyed, that you can get killed by falling debris even if the shot was made to the floor above you, etc. And you have to move a lot inside the buildings, if you wan't to be safer, but it's easier now, because you can go through any of the newly created holes! Doesn't that make the battle much more intense and fun? Live fog/smoke Since FEAR (and after many film scenes featuring fog/smoke) I've always loved the idea of fighting in asphyxiating corridors full of fog or smoke where the only way of finding the enemy is because of the displaced fog. The battles in the middle of dust in FEAR are memorable, but they were sometimes very difficult because you couldn't find the enemies (it usually meant a pause in the fight, you had to roll back). That was because the cloud was "static", moving objects didn't affect it. In real life when there's a lot of fog the only way of "feeling" someone's presence is because of the fog he displaces. It would be amazing in a game. Aditionally the blow of the guns displace the fog too, opening a door or shooting a window and letting wind enter would disipate it, etc. Best use for cloth simulations I can think of I can't remember the film and I don't really know if it was only in one film. But one of my favourites firefights in a film happens in the middle of sheets or blankets hung on stalls, and protagonists could only know were the other was because of the movement of those. Another scene comes to my mind, in this case the fight took place in an industrial sized laundry, with thousands of dresses and jackets hanging around. I would love to see similar fights in a game. How to use fluids? The fluids simulations on PhysX fluids demo are simply amazing, look fantastically and really act like real liquids. Although everybody would love any fluids in games to be simply like that, it does require a lot of computing and probably wouldn't be worth the effort for the most part. I have some specific places where I would love to see it though. a) I would love to play a simple puzzle game where you had to transport water from point A to B, with the help of various and crazy objects, much like those crazy "butterfly effect dominoes" made by japanese. The idea is you have some objects, a water source and a destiny, and plenty of free 3D space plaged by fixed structures you would have to use in chain with the objects at you disposal in order to carry the water to its destiny. But there's no only one way to do it. Posibilities are infinite. Those old enough to know about Lemmings, probably know exactly what I mean. The score system would be based on the amount of water that reaches to the goal and the time it takes. Making it fast could make some water to bounce out of its way, for example. Also instead of being a standalone puzzle game, this could be very well be implemented in RTS games as a way to collect resources or something. b) Blood. Good looking blood is always welcomed in games, but for the most part you don't need it to be a fluid in games, you can fake it. UT3 engine does have some kind of metaparticles made blood, but IIRC it does not act like fluids once it reaches the floor. Why does it have to do so? Well for the most part, for nothing, it would be a waste of resources probably, but I have one specific "scene" that I would love to see in games and where fluent blood would be required. Again I can't remember the films, although I know are many this time. The setting is the next one: Two guys in a wooden building, each in one adjacent floor and they shoot at each other through the floor/ceiling. They can't really see each other, although they can sometimes envision each other in the space between the planks of wood that make the floor and they are making many holes. Despite this they mostly have to rely on the sound to know of each other. In the end the one in the upper floor stops shooting and although in the first place the guy below does not know what to think, he soon knows the other is dead. Why? Blood is leaking through the various holes... c) Rain or fire extingishers in the buildings. One scene I would love to play is fighting several invisible enemies in an office building where the only way to see the enemies is by the drops hitting in them. Aha, Hollow Man. Physics on characters? Let's forget about the obvious (cloths, hair) and let's try finding something really cool: dismemberment. Not the old style dismemberment, where the character is made from various pieces. No. Better think of characters made of metaparticles filling a container with the shape of the character in question and very strong inter-particle dependence (glued together). They would never change their relative position and follow the movement of the bones, but when a sufficient force is applied (they get shot) the links get broken and that part is thrown away reveling the different looking ones below. Cool? Another posibility based on the same idea, is to create fantastic creatures like enemies made of sand or nanobots/nanoparticles that would loose the part you shoot but additionally that part would gradually disintegrate as it falls to the ground. The creature's "skin" itself could be partially disintegrated by wind, etc. Another posibility, though based on the same idea and on the destructible environments, is that in a building with many glass, you could shoot at the glass and the falling particles could cut them down into pieces. Or not. It would depend on how the pieces fall. Amazing or not? Those are the ones I remember right now. Probably I don't have many more and I think I have covered pretty much all posibilities, but different uses for the same things are also posible and I'm willing to hear what you guys have to say. Let the ideas start rolling! P.D. Sorry for writing the New-New Testament.
All possible yes, but a LOT of programming a new engine to do it all. I hope I'm still into gaming when we can do it all.
You know what I would like to see? The ability to use anything in the environment and I mean ANYTHING. I hate games that put you in the dark and your enemies have night vision, but you can't get it from them when they are dead... WHY?!? Same way with the end level of Half Life 2, you only have the fecking super grav gun, but everyone else has weapons yet I can't pick one up!!!
Hmm IMO it's more a performance concern than programming. Most of the features I mentioned are already present in design programs such as 3DMax o Maya. Another ones have already been implemented in games but not with physics. Dismemberment, for exmple. And many others are present in PhysX demos. Destructible environments don't require too much programming, it's just a bunch of objects following physics laws. But again the limiting factor is the computing power. However, considering GPUs have 20X the power of CPUs right now, and that will only get bigger in the future, and that Crysis physics are run on the CPU, IMHO the future is bright and not so much into future, as long as they decide to do it.
I wouldn't say GPU's have 20x the power of CPU's... A gpu is just built to do very specific things with very specific instruction sets, while a cpu has a much more broad spectrum to cover. What we would need for things like that is it all put into a single engine, and then LOADS of video ram, just massive massive amounts! 4gb 512 bit bus anyone??
Physics are part of those specific instructions so... That single engine would be the physics engine and you don't need aditional programming, that's what so good about physics. Dismemberment would be reduced to a particle (bullet) hitting a bunch of particles (flesh). Destructible environments the same. Exerything is particle interactions. An absurdly high amount of simple instructions, but nothing complex. 4gb 512bit? What about the next generation? G400, R900...
No one has. But considering G300 will apparently have 512 bit and 2GB... TBH ram is cheap, it's just that if it does not offer a benefit why include more? On the other hand if you are going to use it there would be no problem. And if in two years from now extra 2GB or GGDR5/6 costing an extra of $50 is what would enable something close to the kind of physics I am talking about, I would happily pay.
ram equals more heat and power usage but im all for having loads of it if it means we can get higher res and AA and AF and even physics, ram needs o be fast tho and i think only gddr 5 is good in high quantities some game benfit from higher ram speeds and some just more ram furthermore ram and speed can improve any game they will eventually include a separate core or summit just for physics im all for interactivity but not if can brake one thing or do one thing and then not do something simple, for example smash a large wooden door to bits and then i hit a tree and nothing happens scripts are the easiest way to set something, you go to a certain point and this set of instructions is trigged so it makes interactivity harder because things only happen at certain points, random events are a start but they sometimes dont seem realistic
Who's to say they couldn't design a card that turns off ram when its not needed, like erm look no 3d application detected, 256mb of ram. Game loads, poof look 8gb.

Publisher's Description
"Evolutionary models for life, earth, and space are questioned today by a significant group of scientists worldwide. They are convinced that the earth and the entire universe are the result of a supernatural creation event which occurred just thousands of years ago, not billions of years."
- Why do conventional methods for dating rocks differ so radically?
- What does carbon-14 found in diamonds tell us?
- Was there accelerated nuclear decay in earth's history?
- Are the creation and Flood accounts genuine historic events?
These and many other questions are addressed in Thousands...Not Billions. This book summarizes eight years of research by the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) and a team of scientists, whose goal was to explore the age of the earth from a biblical perspective. The project title was Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth, or RATE.
The age of the earth is one of the most divisive topics today, much debated by scholars and laypersons alike. What one believes about the age of the earth goes a long way in determining world views. The Bible is explicit that the earth is young, but many people feel that science has proved our planet is more than four billion year old. Thousands...Not Billions provides a compelling challenge to Darwinian evolution.

Please read this entire thing. When you read all of the negative reviews of how this thing does not stay on the window, it rolls up, etc. These people DO NOT know how to read directions or install this correctly. This is a great shade and very easy to install, AND, stays up on the window.This will address the rolling up comments. Take the shade out of the box and roll it out so the entire shade is flat. Leave it rolled out for about 2-3 days, this will form the shade and keep it from "rolling up."Installing:1st step. Clean your entire window with windex. Do this a couple of times and make sure the window is dry.2nd step. Clean all 4 suction cups with alcohol ad let dry.3rd step. Clean the window with alcohol just the same way you did with windex. Do this twice and let dry....not that hard right?4th step. Position the shade in the window exactly where you want it and press the top two suction cups on the window. Press hard to get a good seal. HOLD THE PRESSURE ON THE SUCTION CUPS FOR 30 SECONDS OR MORE.5th and final step. Do the same thing with the bottom two suction cups. Hold in place with pressure for 30 seconds.Shade is installed correctly. Don't even take into account all the negative reviews because these people have no idea what they are doing. The whole process to "properly" install will take maybe 10 minutes or less. I hope this helps.

The suction cups are very cheap. Most of the time it takes me 3-4 tries to get one of them to stick to the window. Now that it's stuck, I don't touch it and take it off any more. The material is very very thin. If your winddows are not tinted, I suggest you get something that's thicker. I don't think it's wide enough to cover the windshield, so I just attached the top 2 suction cups, and let the bottom two hang down.

Comments about Safety 1st Rear Window Shade:
Falls out of window, when it is up it doesn't block the sun very well because you can't hang it high enough in the window due to its design.
Comment on this review
Waste of money
By Grandma chauffeur
from Birmingham, AL
Very hard to attach to the back window and have it stay attached. Sides want to twist and curl which makes screen bunch up and hard to see out back window. Not sewn well. All 4 corners pulling away from material and ripping.
Great concept, but not well executed
By KrisNY14
from Long Island, NY
This is a great concept. Our family car is always in the sun & we needed something to help shade the back seat for our newborn. We also like the "Baby On Board" sign built into the shade. We bought this product thinking it would do the trick, but it constantly falls off the window. No matter what we do or use to keep it up, it just seems to fall off. Instead of using fabric & suction cups, it would probably work better if the whole shade itself was a giant window cling.
Works great but could improve with tweak
By sandala
from Dublin, CA
This product serves its purpose and I didn't have issues with the suctions when following instructions on the packaging. The only issue I have found is that a horizontal strip of sunlight can seep through over the top of the shade because the corner holes in the shade which allow for the suctions to pass through are too close to the top border of the shade. If the holes were lower by about an inch, the shade would block off this horizontal strip of sunlight.
Too flimsy
By Nanny K

So flimsy, and packaging creases made it difficult to install, and looked unruly installed

By momma bear
from ypsilanti MI
I think this prodeuct serves its purpose, however you cant tell there is a large yellow baby on board sign right in the middle of it until you purchase it and take it home. I dont mind it as I already had a baby on board sign in my window. but just a warning
By newsupermom
from waltham, ma
we went and bought this in the store and to our suprise there is a baby on board graphic on the shade. the packaging itself doesn't have a picture of the actual product.
Great value!
By Momma Cass
from Louisville, KY
This is easy to use. It's rare that a product with suction cups are all in working order. I wish it provided a little more shade but it does the job just fine. It works amazingly well for the price.
Not ideal for Prius back windows
By chargibbs
from Sacramento, CA
I was pleasantly surprised to see the "BABY ON BOARD" sign printed on this, as I otherwise would not have one. The size is good and materials are acceptable.However, the angle of my Prius rear window makes this shade a real challenge - I feel like I can hardly see behind me.
By Whitney
from Ashland, OH
This product was a waste of money. It won't adhere to the window. It fell down after 15 minutes and will not stick. If my husband had not accidently discarded the packaging, I would have returned.

Two elementary schools, Killingly Central School in Dayville and Killingly Memorial School in Danielson, serve grades K-4. Killingly Intermediate School in Dayville serves grades 5-8. Killingly High School, the Regional Agricultural Educational Program and the Alternate Learning Center, grades 9-12 are located in Dayville. In 2010, the town built a new high school which is located at the intersection of Soap Street and Route 12 in Dayville. Killingly High School students also have the opportunity to participate in two magnet schools; the Quinebaug Valley Middle College High School and the Arts at the Capital Theater Magnet School. |
Our schools share a long history of service to the community. Through consistent family and town support Killingly schools and their students have developed respected records of success in the fields of music, media, agriculture, technology, multicultural education, and sports. We are proud, as well, of our strong partnership with Quinebaug Valley Community College and the opportunities that this collaboration has provided for our students. Area businesses have been very active with Killingly High School's School-to-Career Program. |

Quality Control[QuC] is a team based around a small number of high quality players. This is not a massive clan of players, rather a small manageable team that can grow and develop as a competitive team together. We're only looking for a small number of players to create a core team with a few subs, and we're looking for dedicated players who will actually show up to scrims. Again, this is a high skilled team, I'm not looking to teach players how to play, but rather know that they have a general understanding of most aspects of competitive play. This is an American based team, though we don't restrict foreign players from joining, it's understood you have a very good knowledge of the English language and can get on at the times to participate with the team. We have our own ventrilo server, and it's obviously required that you have a good working microphone for communication. Lastly, I expect players who play with this team to be respectful to others in scrims, practice, and matches.
Advanced techniques I expect anyone who is interested to know:
*Micro, this includes chicken/crow micro in addition to summons and inventory
*Warding, every player should know most/all ward positions, in addition to being able to keep them up without losing vision
*Ventrilo installed and a good, working microphone; stress on good, I don't want to listen to massive static or feedback
*Know your role, I don't want supports nuking lanes carries could farm in, or carries having to go place wards
*Pulling, there are LOTS of advanced pulling areas beyond the basic sent bot/scourge top lane pulls.
*Complete understanding of the English language both written and spoken, the ability to speak clear and fluent English, as this is an American team
*Orb Walking, you should know what this is
*Attack Dancing, positioning after attacks to get the most amount of attacks in
*Aggressive laning, I don't want ***** players who stand back when they're supposed to initiate
*Map awareness, don't feed the game away to the other team
*LISTEN, if I tell you to buy wards buy them, don't argue with me
For all those interested in trying out, PM me with a little bit of information:
DotA Experience:
Prior leagues or known teams:
Good working mic:
Team role:
When you'd like to have a tryout game:
Why you think you're qualified to play with us:
To finalize:
You can message me in game if you'd like, but I require you send a PM with the above information for sake of organization. I will not remember who you are or know who you are unless you send it, so just go ahead and do it. You can throw me a message anytime under Angel if I haven't responded and I'll check it out. I get a lot of PMs, I might have deleted it(though this is unlikely). A lot of players who have been interested aren't nearly up to par with what I'm looking for, so I'll stress I'm looking for good players. If at anytime during the tryout you:
*ask for an item build
*ask where to place a ward
*ask what kind of wards when I tell you to ward
*pick a hero I didn't tell you to
*don't buy chicken/wards when I told you to
You can be safe in assuming you're not going to make it into the team, so please don't waste my time.

Does this mean there are going to be about 50 more raging nerds screaming every time they die on vent?
Christopher, he drank from the chalice of corruption.
Currently there are only two players, me and whoever was left from my friendlist who joined it in the first place. I'm sure Simba would join it, but as of now there isn't even enough to make a team of five. I don't intend on getting this clan filled with bad players, nor do I want it to have a huge player base.
Angel you know you want me on the team ADD Me GO GO GO!!! =)

Name: Zhengman
Experience: 2 years of dota
Prior leagues or teams: none
Vent and mic: both
Team role: tank, carry, initiator/support
Why you're interested in joining:
i have wanted to join a competitive clan/team for HoN for a while now, but the clan my friends and i made died quickly, as they do not play HoN as often as i do. check my stats out, and i'd be happy to try out on a planned date.
Not true at all, even though people love to say it.
Tank is not a role, yes, but it is a class of hero.
Legionnaire qualifies as a tank, as does Zephyr, Keeper, and Electrician.
Obviously the HoN version of a tank does not conform to the MMORPG version of a tank. A tank in HoN is simply a hero that has high HP and is able to operate effectively when getting focused.
for some reason PM's are screwing up for me, so ill have to post here :0
or all those interested, PM me with a simple resume following these guidelines:
Name: KaWs (Blake)
Experience: this is my 1st account, i played alot of tda dota
Prior leagues or teams: none
Vent and mic: yes and yes
Team role: carry hero, i mainly use MQ,TB,tort.
Why you're interested in joining: i am a very active player with ambitions to succeed in league play w/ HoN.
Disproved Nome! >
To update all of the people interested. I've been trying out people one at a time, but eventually I'd like to get five of you on a team to either play against me and some friends or spectate and watch how you guys function as a team. As of now, unless you PM me, it's very rare that you'll actually be noticed for a tryout. It's much easier to see who is interested in PMs.
Holy snap angel, 1.7k posts? No wonder you got that gold shield!
Leave clan QuC and join UE!
No thanks. Most heroes are do not have multiple faceted roles.

Pinehurst Resort is starting a major renovation of the members' clubhouse this week.
The $3.7 million project is the first phase of a multi-year plan to improve and expand the clubhouse.
The renovation will redesign the interior and improve the view of course No. 2 from the rear veranda. The green awnings will be removed and the roofline extended to maximize the view of No. 2, site of the U.S. men's and women's Opens in 2014.
White columns, arches and a bronze roof will replace the green awnings. Golfers on the 18th fairway of No. 2 will see a clubhouse view inspired by the South veranda that was completed in 1922.
Inside, the clubhouse will be redecorated with new furniture, fixtures and carpet. A new elevator will provide access to all three floors of the building.
"This renovation is the beginning of a broader plan to provide a more dynamic experience for our members," Pinehurst owner Robert Dedman said in a news release. "It will include regular member dining, a more active social calendar and, ultimately, a swim and fitness complex."
The member dining room will be relocated to overlook the 18th green of No. 2 and will feature outdoor seating on the 16,000 square-foot veranda.
Stagaard & Chao Architects of Pinehurst are handling the exterior renovation.
"The clubhouse should reflect the grandeur and tradition of Pinehurst itself," architect Alan Stagaard said in the news release. "When the project is finished, we hope it will feel as if the club and the veranda have been there for 100 years."
The project is expected to be completed by early next summer.
Jim Reid, an intern at King's Grant for the past seven months, has been hired at one of the top golf facilities in the nation.
The Methodist graduate has been hired as the first assistant pro at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort on the coast of Oregon.
Bandon Dunes is a 72-hole resort with courses designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw and Tom Doak, among others. Its Pacific Dunes course is rated No. 15 in the nation by Golf Digest.

I have been asked to lead worship for our small church. It will be my first time to lead worship, as our regular worship leader will be gone this Sunday. I play bass, and for my team this week, I have a keys player, drummer and a semi-good acoustic guitar player. (Mostly can play bar chords but he is getting arthritis.)
The songs I have chosen and sent out to them in this order:
Call to Worship - Hosanna (Praise is Rising) G
Then Announcements....
Regular Set-
The Stand A
Open the Eyes of My Heart E
Better is One Day E
Glorious C - this is a new one, our congregation hasn't sung..
Can you give me any tips. I had to stick to keys I could sing, but I suppose I could change the order. I am sort of locked into the songs now, as the group has had them for about 4 days. The keys player and the guitar player sing backup, and I usually sing back up. So I am somewhat used to singing and playing at the same time. Just REALLY nervous.
Thanks and God Bless
Will you get a chance to practise with the rest of the band beforehand? Not wanting to scare you, but I have found songs I was quite confident on when practising at home turned out to be a little bit ropey when performed in front of other people. On the other hand, there's plenty of grace to go around and no time to dwell on mistakes in live performance, so it isn't all bad.
One thing that is great about playing with a group is that you can lean on them. The other day I was leading (on guitar in this case) and had another guitarist and a bassist with me. This was a small, mid-week event and rehearsal time was very limited. My guitar quickly dropped out of tune but I was able to make it through by relying on my little band to keep the music going while I concentrated on leading the singing (and dropping in a few lead licks with string bends to cover any particularly egregious notes!). Keep the bass lines really simple (the kind of thing that other musicians think you ought to be playing anyway) and enjoy your time at the helm.
I don't know all the songs you are intending to do but wonder if the new one might be better earlier on? The reason is that it is at the start of the set, you can cover any mistakes by excelling with the more familiar tunes. People often use the first song or two of a longer set to warm up to and so, in that respect, they are less important. If you land on a weaker song, that is what the congregation might carry with them as they move on into the rest of the service. If, lyrically, it really is the place you want to end, a compromise would be to teach the song or at least the chorus at the start of the set so it is already familiar by the time you end.
Thank you for the tips. I will take all of them to heart. We will have time to rehearse on Thursday evening. I was hoping to get one more in the week before Sunday warmup. Just because we are a newer group of musicians working together. But I haven't heard back as to their schedules.
Hi Ryan, good advice there from Wulf.
Looking at the list, the one song that stands out a little (if you'll pardon the pun) is The Stand. However if you're locked to those songs then (assuming you're doing the full song instead of just the "I'll stand" part) then I'd put it after Glorious (Paul Baloche?) especially as they know it already. I quite like to introduce new songs mid-way, so that people are warmed up & singing, but not right at the end so that the finish isn't awkward or discomforting. However there's no rules in this, so fit things together as seems right to you.
Another thing that might be worth mentioning is trying to find songs that fit thematically AND key-wise so that you only have a couple of key changes. Although this can make things sound a bit samey if you pick songs with similar rhythms and tempos was well as keys, it does make flowing between songs smoother and more natural sounding. You've got 2 songs in E together there, so if you wanted, you could run 'seamlessly' between them.
I can't offer useful advice about singing and playing at the same time as I can't really do that very much.
I like your idea about NOT playing the new song last and leaving them with that. I will try putting it before The Stand.
I am sort of locked into the songs, however if Glorious does not go over well for us at rehearsal, I may need to swap it out for another similar tempo song. Something that is easy to play, basic chord changes, etc. Any suggestions?
i hope this doesn't come across as harsh, but you are only singing to one, Him, everything else is not important. sing to God first, and let Him take care of the rest. This is live music. If you make a "mistake", someone needs to hear it. We have been overwhelmed when the band feels a song did not go well, but comments from the congregation said otherwise. I guess, just let God do his work through you.
I completely agree with you Bill. Thanks for the reminder that I (we) are up there to give him glory, not to perform and be perfect.
First off - congrats on taking the lead, so to speak.
And I would agree on Wulf's point that what works at home alone may not work as well with the whole group or the congregation.
Let me reiterate Toni's point of keeping a smooth flow of keys. I like to keep the key changes upward, but that is not always possible. I try to avoid a downward shift (like going from D to C or C to A) I also try to thematically change from declaring what God has done (praise) to addressing Our Lord directly (in worship). That also usually goes from faster to slower songs.
Leading from a bass can be fun. I have done it many times, although I usually lead from an acoustic. But if my list includes something of a gospel genre, then I will lead from the bass.
Enjoy God's Presence. Rev. Bob Mumford used to define worship as simply "enjoying God." Remember it is HIM who you are playing and singing to. You go to God and invite everyone to come along with you. If you do not go, they cannot follow.
If I am reading all the comments correctly, in order to keep the same key songs together, as well as not putting the new song at beginning or end. I will need to revise my set to:
Open the Eyes of My Heart E
Better is One Day E
Glorious C
The Stand A
This however, brings the keys down as we go :(
Like I said those are general guidlines, not hard and fast rules.
Dropping keys (going down) is not an issue if you have some kind of break between the songs, like introducing the new song.
I wouldn't worry too much about keys going down. After all, you could also look at it instead as keys going up by giant steps ;-)
More important, if you aren't breaking for some kind of prayer, reading or announcement between each one, is how the harmony and melody facilitate or hamper the transition. Both in your own preparation and in rehearsal time as a group work on beginnings, endings and transitions. Those tend to be the tricky points (some songs also need a bit of extra work as you go from section to section although, in most cases, those changes will feel natural and won't need so much focus).
Do you have the congregation sing during the call to worship? If so, you're asking an awful lot of them right off the bat (high Cs and Ds throughout the chorus in that key)...and it's on an "ah" sound, which make sit harder for the guys ("oh" sounds are much easier to hit high notes with). Just a quick observation. If you don't have them sing, then leave it as is. Otherwise, you may want to get that key down a whole-step or, if you're worried about your guitar player's arthritis & having to barre a lot in F, go down to E, which puts your chorus in the A & B range...much smoother for voices just getting warmed up.
I agree with what others are saying, put the new one between others, this will buffer it.
The "keys up/down" thing isn't quite as important as the tessitura up/down. Where the bulk of the melody falls is the tessitura. Sometimes you can go down a key and the tessitura is still sitting higher.
I also highly recommend going through the set in a few different orders at home...just to get a flow that feels good to you. Sometimes everything makes perfect sense when you think about it, but comes off different once you start singing through them. Let the Spirit guide you on this.
And lastly, remember that once you get started on Sunday, it's not about you. Let that ease your nerves.
The hard part with the keys changing, is that the guitarist requested to practice the songs in the same key as the recording. So I am sort of at odds with that part right now. They do sing during the Call to Worship, but the congregation is still entering during this time.

LIVERPOOL -- At 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, deputies were called to the Lemoyne Manor, on Old Liverpool Road, in Liverpool, on a report of a man with a gun. The suspect was confronted by an employee of the Lemoyne Manor and the gun was confiscated.
Investigators say the suspect took off and was later identified as parolee, Scott Fetzner, 26 who lives at Lemoyne Manor. Fetzner is believed to be unarmed but police are still actively looking for him. Because he's a convicted felon, Fetzner is prohibited from possession of any type of firearm.
Fetzner is approximately 5'8", 170 lbs with blonde hair and blue eyes. Deputies say he is not to be approached - instead call 911.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard says districts can choose whether to arm staff.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard of South Dakota yesterday signed into law a bill that would allow teachers to carry guns in the classroom.
While some other states have provisions in their gun laws that make it possible for teachers to be armed, South Dakota is thought to be the first state to pass a law that specifically allows teachers to carry firearms.
About two dozen states have proposed similar bills since the shootings in December at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., but all of them have stalled.
Supporters say that the measure signed by Daugaard, a Republican, is important in a rural state such as South Dakota, where some schools are many miles away from emergency responders.
Opponents, which have included the state school board association and teachers association, say this is a rushed measure that does not make schools safer.
The law says that school districts may choose to allow a school employee, hired security officer or volunteer to serve as a "sentinel" who can carry a firearm in the school. The law does not require school districts to do this.
Daugaard said he was comfortable with the law because it gave school districts the right to choose whether they wanted armed individuals in schools, and that those who were armed would have to undergo firearms training similar to what law-enforcement officers receive.
"I think it does provide the same safety precautions that a citizen expects when a law-enforcement officer enters onto a premises," Daugaard said. But he added that he did not think that many school districts would end up taking advantage of the measure.

Thanks a million for your comments. IMHO, US innovation should help create +ve results & create lower gas prices.
Hi : You may want to research Goldman Sach & their oil speculating business, they also received millions in Obama bailout give a ways. The CEO's wife also was given over 2 million in a stimus GRANT to start a business.Guess we both missed that handout !! If the present administration was not in the oil speculators pockets, Obama's April commission of over 2 yrs would have meet and reported on the rampant speculation of the oil markets. Nothing has ever been heard of their report. Oh, those evil Koch brothers, kind of like George Soros, the man funding so many socialist projects in this country. Gas is $3.59 & rising here, enjoy !
Hello paulp24 -- May you & your family have a safe & blessed Memorial Day weekend as we honor those who served our country ~

The movie "Jaws" did its part to make sharks completely terrifying and fascinating for me. In fact, I can barely swim in a lake without being creeped out, which is obviously ridiculous. Will the unseen creatures of the deep be crossing your mind as you take a dip this holiday weekend?

Malden and electric aggregation
MALDEN — Malden residents should have started realizing savings on their electric bills since approving an electric aggregation referendum in April, according to Marni Henert, energy consultant with Rock River Energy Services.
Malden was one of four Bureau County communities approving referendums last spring, which gave village officials the authority to arrange for an electric aggregation program to supply electricity for residents and small commercial retail customers who have not opted out of the program.
In a recent press release issued by Rock River Energy, Malden has 157 residential and small commercial electric accounts. Of that number, 21 accounts had already switched to another retail electric supplier and were not eligible to be automatically enrolled in the community program with Homefield Energy, which is headquartered in Collinsville.

It would save me lots of time if you could access Telnet from scripts. Ideally I want to sign onto my Solaris server and change directory on opening a project.

People just said it wasn't useful to use unless you have user generated links that you can't always keep on top of.
Then don't optimize them. Why would a privacy policy page rank for something other than "privacy policy company name"? (And if someone was actually searching for that, you'd certainly want that page to show up.)
If you don't want pages indexed by the engines, it's simple enough to exclude them via a robots.txt exclusion file. But, for the most part, there's no reason to just because something is a privacy policy page.
Disagree with this. The words in the meta keyword tag (if you even want to bother to use it) definitely do NOT need to appear on the page. The Meta keyword tag is for putting words that DON'T already appear on the page, but for which you believe it is relevant. People have mixed this up for years, but it shows why it doesn't work when you put words that are already on the page in them. (It doesn't help the page to rank higher for words when they're in the meta keyword and on the page.)
Jill, I didn't see anyone discussing penalties either just the negative relation with using no follow. That was the only reason for mentioning high PR sites using it.
Jill, as far as the keyword meta tag... You mention if you use a meta keyword tag that the keywords do not need to appear on the page. If a Meta keyword tag is used, the keywords have to appear on the page from a conversion stand point. I know this is not new to you... But user acceptance increases when the search term appears on the page so why not have them?
Also, 1st & 2nd tier keyword pages need the words in order to compete with competitors after keyword density is analyzed. Right?
Maybe I am missing something... I just know that I use meta tags for all of my pages (1st 2nd & 3rd tier keywords) have the keywords in the body sprinkled naturally and I have top rankings for all tiers. I guess I won't add the keyword tags in my new pages and sites if it doesn't matter. But I need to make sure. Has there been split testing done with and without keyword tags???

The Cat and Mutton has firmly established itself on Broadway market as the place to eat, drink and be merry. Originally called The Cattle & Shoulder of Mutton, it has been a fixture in Londons East End since the late 1600′s. Initially a renowned ale house frequented by the many drovers and agricultural workers arriving in London to sell there various beasts in the markets in what now is known as the city, the name was centuries later shortened to The Cat and Mutton. After years of neglect it was bought by its current owner in 2003 and has heralded a resurgence in a vibrant part of Hackney. You can view the website for our sister venue, The London Fields,

"I printed cards with the same pictures with 3 different photo card services, and this one turned out the best. The photos were so clear and vivid. The impact of this card was so much more than the others that had heavy stock paper, but so-so photo printing. It is 7 months later, and people still rave about the card."
"I've been ordering cards from tiny prints for five years. Quality is fantastic and delivery in two days is huge plus for this last minute Mom ;) I order multiple cards a year for various holidays and birthday and keep coming back to tiny prints. Reliable regarding quality product and customer service."
"We used this for an announcement/valentines card and we got quite a few compliments on it. The paper was even thicker than I thought and our black and white turned out beautifully with the red."
"As always, I was very impressed with the quality and design of this Tiny Prints card. I'm so excited for our loved ones to receive this Valentine from our family!"
"The quality of this card is expected...excellent! I also ordered Christmas cards that were of similar style. The weight of the card stock is of good quality. We were very proud to put our Christmas cards in the mail and will feel the same with our Valentine's Day greeting. Great selection of styles. Only wish there was no extra charge for the rounded corners, IMO that should be standard.Thanks tinyprints!"

For years now the number one, most popular, almighty, free and independent email provider, none other than GMail, has been offering salvation to the masses. But for some all-that's-unholy reason there are still folks out there who continue clinging to the lesser old world email providers; my younger brother being one of them. As much as I've tried to be a good brother, modeling the best ways to e-communicate and collaborate, boasting of GMail's far superior bundled email, documents, calendar and chat software, and in spite of my best efforts to show him the true path that is so awesomely GMail, he simply laughs, scoffs and could care less.
Compared with the god-like Google Mail, what does a progressively failing Yahoo email account still have to offer all those poor lost souls out there? Very very little, I proclaim. Yahoo is a mere fading memory of yesteryear, dying on the Internet vine ever more every day. It's hey day is long over. In fact, Yahoo so closely resembles AOL email that it frightens me to picture my poor wayward brother, madly tapping away on his keyboard with his two index fingers, using the likes of an AOL-esqe email interface. I feel nauseated at the very thought.
Sadly official email interventions have failed; email rehab too. As much as this pains me, I only have one recourse left, to protest my dear brother's defiant Yahoo use… by easily and effortlessly implementing my handy dandy GMail filters, setting it to detect all incoming Yahoo mail and have the fruits of his addiction swiftly destroyed straight to the trash! Pa-tooey! <— That's me turning my head and spitting! Damnit brother! <— That's me cursing my brother's wicked ways.
Worst of all, he recently acquired an Android smart phone and set it up with a new GMail account. Initially learning of this, I was ecstatic and very pleased that he saw the glorious Google light. But later, to my grave disappointment, I learned he doesn't use it for anything more than mobile chat and continues to send me his dirty deprecating Yahoo email. I hereby protest publicly! My only hope is that dear mother and father will never learn of brother's horribly irresponsible behavior. =)

Donor egg pregnancies on the rise, US study finds
CHICAGO (AP) — New research shows U.S. women are increasingly using donated eggs to get pregnant, with often good results.
What the researchers call the ideal outcome happens in only about 1 out of 4 pregnancies from donor eggs, but that's up from 19 percent a decade ago.
The ideal is a single baby born on time at a healthy weight. More than a third of donor egg babies are twins and many are born pre-term; both conditions increase risks for complications.
The study looked at data from 2000 to 2010. It's from researchers at Emory University and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and was published online Thursday by the Journal of the American Medical Association.
