Extravaganza is a completely different spotlight than Neopet's Customization Spotlight. Extravaganza is more on the fantasy side and we like for everyone to have an equal opportunity to compete with other users. I say this because when competing in Extravaganza, it doesn't matter how much NeoCash or how many Neopoints you have, it doesn't matter how expensively your pets are painted, none of the material things matter here. All we ask is that you are creative, resourceful, and that you are able to stick to the specific spotlight!
Alright my Princes and Princesses, the time has come! Flip through the pages of this site to find out more on what Extravaganza has to offer. I can assure you, you will like what you see. Now, let the spotlights......... BEGIN.
Any questions, comments or concerns can be sent to rowdy420.
☆ Participants WILL NEVER have to virtually own any pets/items/etc. to take part in any particular spotlight. Extravaganza was made for all Neopians to have an equal opportunity to win and we wouldn't want anybody to have any advantages/disadvantages!
☆ You MUST MUST MUST stick to each week's spotlight. Regardless of the theme/item/pet/etc., you have to follow what the spotlight is calling for.
☆ You ABSOLUTELY MAY NOT tell others which entry is yours in order to get votes. This is considered cheating and if you are caught your entry will be disqualified.
☆ NO SORE LOSERS. Period. If you lose, get over it. Try harder next week; don't let one week bring you down, there's always tomorrow.
☆ No, you may not vote for yourself.
You may use the following websites (or any other you know of) to create your customization:
Hey guys! Thanks for checking back in after Extravaganza's week off! I've gotten a lot of requests the past couple weeks regarding this specific type of spotlight. In my opinion, in order for a site to be great, you have to give the people what they want! So without further adieu, this week's spotlight is entirely celebrity/personality/T.V. show/movie/famous person/etc.-based! Woah that's a lot to take in! For this week's spotlight, entries have to create a look that resembles their favorite celebrity/actor(ess)/T.V. (or movie) character. All you have to do is pick your favorite person (or easiest to replicate), and create a customization that looks like your chosen person!
If you have any questions please contact me @ rowdy420 - DO NOT SUBMIT HERE.
ATTENTION: There is currently a 30 ENTRY LIMIT so submit your customizations fast, but make sure they're good enough to compete!
Romeo - O true apothecary |
Juliet - O happy dagger |
ATTENTION: You absolutely may NOT use any of the winner graphics if you have not won a spotlight. If you know of someone who is wrongly using a prize, please contact me directly @ rowdy420.
WINNERS: You can choose whichever prize you want to use. If you win once, you may only use one prize at a time, if you win twice, you can use one or two at the same time, if you win three times, you can use one, two or three at the same time and so on.

Oklahoma City Legislator Cancels Gun Law Study
A Democratic state representative from northeast Oklahoma City says he's canceled plans for a study of the state's gun laws because several gun rights groups declined to participate.
State Rep. Mike Shelton says he planned to host an interim legislative study on Tuesday to look at both the state's open carry law, which allows licensed adults to openly display a handgun, and the "Stand Your Ground" law that allows the use of deadly force.
But he says some local gun rights groups that he spoke with "simply stopped returning our calls."
Don Spencer with the Oklahoma Second Amendment Association and a well-known gun rights advocate at the Capitol, says he wasn't invited to participate in the study.
Shelton says he still plans to introduce "gun safety" legislation next session.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Automotive Marketers and Sales Managers
San Francisco, CA - March 07, 2012 - izmocars (http://www.izmocars.com), whose AOA product is the accessories sales solution ranked #1 by dealers at DrivingSales.com, will, in conjunction with NADA University, the education and training arm of the National Automobile Dealer Association (NADA), present a best practices webinar designed to help auto dealers earn an extra $500 per car sold with key best practices for successful accessories sales.
The 90-minute webinar "Increasing Accessory Revenue $500 Per Sale" will take place on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 1:00 pm Eastern time, and is open to dealers from across the country, free of charge.
In addition to providing proven strategies for generating an average of $500 in accessories revenue per car sold, the webinar will cover accessories sales processes and best practices, such as how to sustain a productive accessories department, how to use accessories to motivate dealership staff, and how to leverage accessories sales to create more loyal customers, plus much more.
Accessories sales represent a $38 billion market and an important area for dealerships seeking to diversify revenue. The majority of consumers prefer to buy accessories at the dealership, yet fewer than 5% are actually sold by dealers. However, dealerships who have cracked the code of selling accessories with the right processes in place, and effective use of technology, continue to generate solid profits from accessories sales. According to a recent report of 150 dealerships across the country, the average dealership utilizing these best practices generated over $260,000 in annual accessories sales -- in addition to pre-installed parts and options -- with an average of nearly $500 in accessories sales per vehicle sold, an average gross profit margin of 45%, and an after-commission net profit margin of 32.3%.
After participating in this webinar participants will be better able to:
izmocars Vice President Sidney Haider, an automotive management professional with over 20 years of experience in retail, marketing, and business development, who has previously served as the GSM of Keyes Honda and as e-commerce director of Galpin Motors, Inc. will lead the webinar. He will be joined by izmocars Director of Strategic Partnerships Ken Luna.
"Dealers continue to face increasing pressures to hold gross on new vehicles in today's competitive marketplace. The 38 billion dollar accessories market represents a natural opportunity for dealerships to increase profits," said Sidney Haider. "We are confident that this webinar will provide valuable insight for those dealers who are ready to reap the many benefits of accessories sales."
This educational presentation is offered through NADA University's MarketINSIGHT webinar series, which focuses on industry trends and issues presented by industry experts. The webinar is open to everyone, at no cost. Attendees may join the event as it happens, which gives them the opportunity to participate and ask questions, or watch it on-demand at their convenience.

Kiwanis seeks nominations for Educator of the Year

The selection committee will be looking for educators who have made extraordinary efforts towards improving the education of Bainbridge Island children.

Candidates for the award must be associated with an accredited educational organization, and nominations will be accepted from anyone in the community, including students, parents, fellow educators and school administrators.

Nomination forms are due by May 23.
The award will include a $500 check to the honoree, and an additional $500 to their school.
Kiwanis International is a global organization dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. Because teachers play a key role in carrying out this mission, an individual is honored annually.

US 2746369 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 May Z2, 1956 D. M. BEARD ETAL SHOULDER CAMERA MOUNT Filed sept. 21, 1953 FIG.1. May 22, 1956 D. M. BEARD ETAL 2,745,369 SHOULDER CAMERA MOUNT Filed Sept. 2l, 1955 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTORS DONALD M. BEARD PETER P. BRUCE KURT KRIEGSMANN FIG.6. ATTORNEYS finited States Patent O SHOULDER CAMERA MOUNT Md., Peter P. Bruce, Pa., and Kurt Kriegsmann, Washington, D. C. Donald M. Beard, Spencerville, Tyrone, The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor. This invention relates to a camera gun mount and more particularly to a shoulder supporting, hand held apparatus for use with cine type or other relatively heavy cameras when used with long focus or telephoto type lenses. More specifically the invention proposes a mount for both the movie or cine film type camera and the telephoto lens attached thereto whereby the weight of the camera is supported substantially over the shoulder of the cameraman with a suitable frame and handles thereon for steadying the outer portion of the lens and for directing the line of sight of the camera through various angles of elevation and depression. Prior camera guns of both the cine and single exposure varieties have incorporated gun stock configurations with clamping arrangements thereon for retention o-f the camera with lens whereby the camera and lens are supported by the operators hands while the butt of the stock functions merely as a steadying means. The other alternative to the gun stock arrangements lies in the use of a tripod. Neither the conventional gun stock nor the tripod type support are entirely satisfactory for high angles of elevation approaching and including the zenith condition and for following action or movement of an object moving at high speeds. The fatigue to the cameraman, as well as the lack of stability of the camera with extended periods of use both at higher angles of elevation and at slight angles of elevation are disadvantages which are substantially overcome with the instant shoulder mount. The proposed mount is well adapted for, and advantageously permits of high frame speed or slow motion exposures of aircraft launched ordnance or of antiaircraft type gun lire with long focus lenses and throughout the entire trajectory thereof. The use of the invention in such other phases of photography as sports and bird and wild life applications will be obvious. It is a feature of this invention to provide a shoulder supported camera mount for use with heavy lens and camera assemblies and particularly with telephoto and long focus lenses. One object of this invention resides in the provision of a camera gun, the weight of which is so distributed that the center of gravity thereof at elevated positions is substantially disposed to fall along a line through the shoulders and torso of the camera operator. Another object resides in the provision of a camera mount which substantially overcomes operator fatigue as encountered with substantially hand held devices of the character heretofore or now in general use. It is another object to provide a camera and lens mount and steadying device which provides a high order of maneuverability through high angles of elevation as well as angles of depression. rice It is also an object to provide means by which adjustment may be provided for varying the reach of the forward support to accommodate operators of differing physical statute. Another object resides in the provision of auxiliary nder arrangements carried by the mount by which the operator can continuously follow the movement of an object while maintaining simultaneous operation of the camera. Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein: Fig. 1 is a pictorial illustration of the camera gun and lens mount of the instant invention from the right hand side thereof, as adapted for support and use from the operators shoulder; Fig. 2 is a pictorial view in elevation of the left hand side of the camera, lens and shoulder mount of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view in elevation of the mounting for the monocular view finder; Fig. 4 is another view in elevation of the finder mounting of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken along 5 5 of Fig. 3; and Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken along 6 6 of Fig. 3. Referring now to Figs. l and 2 of the drawings, the shoulder mount is shown generally at 1, and with a cine camera 2 and long focus lens 3 mounted thereon. There is also a showing of a prism monocular view iinder 40, which is carried by the mount 1. lt is to be understood that while the camera shown is generally of box-shaped configuration the invention is equally well adapted to cameras of other less uniform shapes, merely by modification of the camera holder and clamps. The mount 1 comprises a cast arrangement while the showing of Fig. 2 relates to a weldment of formed or suitably shaped bars, plates and angle sections. In either case the structure is provided with a camera support 4, a lateral retaining portion 5, a pivotally mounted positioning stop 6 and clamp screw 7 for engagement with the threaded tripod mounting arrangements on the camera. The camera retaining structure additionally includes an upright yoke or frame 8 comprising the upright members 9 and 11 and which carries a pair of thumb screws 12 on the upper cross member 13 thereof. The thumb screws 12 carry pads at 14 for engagement with the top portion of the camera. The stop 6 is provided with a screw at 10 for clamping the rear of the camera in place on the mount. The long focus lens 3 is attached to the front of the camera and supported in a saddle block and yoke clamp arrangement 15 at the forward end thereof. The upper semi-circular clamp member 16 is attached to the support arm 17 which is carried by the upper cross member 13 of the camera frame. The saddle or supporting block portion 18 of the lens clamp 15 is attached to a forwardly projecting rail portion 19 of the mount 1. The support for the camera is a contoured bar 20 of Fig. 2 of a shape to conform to the configuration of the shoulder and chest of the cameraman and is provided with suitable padding at 21 such for example as fabric covered foam rubber or the like. The forward rail portion at 22 of the mount is shaped to provide angular bracing for the lens support and is provided with a pair of pistol grip mounts 23 and 24 for steadying the front of the mount and to assist in elevating the camera and lens assembly. The right hand grip 23 is provided with a trigger 25 connected to linkage 26 for operation of the shutter release on the camera. The trigger in spring returned by a spring at 27 which isrestrained bya 'collar 2.9 and biased against an upright StQp.POrtion 28 0f the rail. Alternately the spring may be incorporated in the grip 23. The rail structure 19 may also be provided with a sliding thumb screw retaining member to -provide Yfor engagement of the knurled `screw 3i into the threaded tripod arrangements of lenses .provided with the same. The left hand pistol grip 24 is arranged with a slotted bar 32 for slidable mounting from the auxiliary rail 'support member 33, to provide for adjustment of the forward yposition thereof to suit the `arm reach of the particular operator. It is clamped in position by the knob screw 34. The forward portion of the lens mount structure additionally includes -Ja supporting arrangement 3S 4for the prism monocular'sight orview iin'der 4t?. The mounting arrangement hereinafter described in greater detail provides for forward rotation of the finder about the clamped pivot 36. This permits movement in elevation to .permit parallax adjustments for variations in line of sight .between the finder and lens and to compensate for variations in lens to subject distance. vIt is valso pivotally .mounted at 3? for transverse rotation about an axis parallel to the. line of sight to provide rotation for orientation of the ield framing lines provided therein without the necessity of manipulation of the same Within the sight. Referring now to Figs. 3 to 6 ofthe drawings for a showing of the clamping arrangement adjustments for the monocular vienl iinder liti, there isl shown a cylindrical column support assembly 35 which is attached to the lower lens mount rail i9 and diagonal element 22 by a bracket 'element 53. This includes the tube clamp member 39 which serves to receive the shaft portion 38 of a pivot clevis or yoke 50 for the joint at 36. The clamp arrangement at nut 46 in the tube 39 as shown in greater detail in Fig. comprises a knurled thumb knob il havinga'threaded rod 52 aiiixed thereto for engagement with a laterally movable shaped nut 46. The column member 39 is slotted horizontally to provide limited rotation of rod 38 from a normal position shown in Fig 5 for transverse rotation of the monocular sight or v-i'ew iinder 4i) within the limits of the slots i9 and 49' of Figs. 3 yand 5. The vertical shaft or rod 38 is adapted foi-'limited height adjustment as is apparent from the A`slotted portion 4S as shown in Fig. 3 and indicated by the dotted lead line in Fig. 4. Disposed between the thumb screw 41 and the outer surface of the cylindrical portion of 39 is 'a plano-concave washer 43 to provide clamping of the inner shaft 38 with respect to the cylindrical column 39 when the threaded rod 52 is tightened inthe nut 46. 'The intermediate pivot adjustment of the sight comprises ya thumbkn'ob 42, Figs. 3 and 6, having a rod portion 47 thereonwhich is threatled into clamp 45 which is one of a pair of matched clamp members providing the locked joint of the elevational pivot 36. This clamp member with the similar element 44 functions to bridge the yoke portion "5d and engage the opposite iiat face surfaces ofthe arc member 30. These bridges are'shaped in a manner to prevent rotation thereof about the yoke member and `function to clamp or lock the arc portion 3d of the sight mount in a iixed position in elevation. This adjustment provides for vertical parallax compensation Ywhen the object to be photographed is Vrelatively close 'to the camera. it additionally provides an arrangement vfor correcting 'sighting errors which voccur with raising or lowering of the finder height with respect to the camera and mount, thereby to provide versatility of the apparatus to suit the stature and the convenience of the particular cameraman. lf desired the arc member 30 may be calibrated for changing object to lens distances as required.

Your Daily Newt: Mighty Morphin' Gingrich
As a service to our readers, every day we are delivering a classic moment from the political life of Newt Gingrich—until he either clinches the nomination or bows out.
Newt Gingrich's big ideas about killer-lasers and Moon colonies and highway-illuminating space mirrors do tend to make him sound like a super-villain. But on his first day as Speaker of the House in 1995, Gingrich solidly aligned himself with the forces of truth and justice and tights by inviting the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers to perform for the House Republican Caucus (and their families). As the Los Angeles Times reported:
After going through their high-kicking, fist-throwing and crime-fighting television show routine, the Power Rangers stood, arms akimbo, as Gingrich rushed onto the stage.
Linking the Power Rangers' popularity with youngsters to his appeal with their parents, the Speaker noted that the Rangers' emphasis on "family values" and "anti-drug" messages fit nicely with GOP political themes. And, he added, "they are multiethnic role models with male and female characters."
Because it was the 1990s, Gingrich faced mild criticism for endorsing a television show that promoted violence—violence against the evil and often inept forces of Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa, but violence nonetheless. The show had been pulled from the airways in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, and banned by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council. But Gingrich was undeterred. "You ride the waves in America, and if something's hot, it's hot," he told his fellow Republicans. Yes, there's video:
Gingrich, has elsewhere warned that the United States is under attack from gay and secular fascism, so we suppose it's worth pointing out that the blue ranger, "Billy," is gay.

I was bored one day, so my father told me to add all the numbers between one and 100 with these conditions: 1. Do not look on the internet. 2. do not add all the numbers up like 1+2+3+4+5+6+7.... So I set out on my journey looking at all possibilities, then I gave up. but I never looked on the internet, so many days latter I was in chemistry and I had an epiphany while doing electron configuration. I divided a square along it's diagonal, and shaded in the right side. Then I found the mid-point of the leg of the left triangle and drew a line connecting with the mid-point of the hypotenuse, Then with that smaller triangle I just created, I found the mid point of the new leg and the mid-point of the new hypotenuses. I shaded in the tiniest triangle and began creating my equation. [tex]\frac{n(n)+ 1/2(n)}{2}[/tex] which is equivalent to: [tex]\sum[/tex][tex]^{n}_{n=1}[/tex]n So when you add up the area of the small triangle and the large triangle it creates the sum all all numbers between 1 and the length of one of your sides. The cool part about it is I think when you find the area of what is left, (not shaded) it is the sum of all numbers between 1 and 1 less than the length of one of your sides. The reason I share this is for you to check if I am right, before I present it to my dad :D.
If what you've written out is correct, the formula that you found isn't quite right. You can easily verify this by choosing pretty much any positive integer [itex]n[/itex]. Since it sounds like you're trying to come up with this independently, I won't give you any hints. Good luck! :-)
[tex]\frac{n(n)}{2}[/tex] +1/2n :3 simple arrangement mistake, the one I entered was from memory, I was sure I was correct but apparently not, so I looked in my notebooks.
That formula is correct! Note that it's more conventional to write the formula for the sum of the first [itex]n[/itex] natural numbers as: [tex]\sum_{i=1}^ni = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}[/tex] Good job!
[tex]\sum^{n}_{i=1}i[/tex] what does this mean xD edit: or better, how do the imaginary numbers fit into it :x
Haha it has nothing to do with imaginary numbers :tongue: It's just saying that the first term of i is 1 and you keep summing up this variable i for all numbers until n. The same way [tex]\sum^n_{k=1}k=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}[/tex] I like how you've figured out this problem Funny how your epiphany sent you down a much more complicated road to solve this problem for all n integers! Rather than just the first 100. I could think of a much simpler way to solve what your father asked for, but you should show him your method instead
Congratulations, yyttr2! It's fun when you find out something clever like this by yourself, agreed? There's a story about how one of the greatest mathematicians in history, Carl Friedrich Gauss, solved the same problem as you: At this time, he was 7, and his teacher was bored with teaching, and said to his pupils they should add together the numbers from 1 to 100 (thus, he thought he would gain a bit of rest). He was very annoyed when little Carl Friedrich came up to him after only a couple of minutes with the solution: Gauss organized his sum as follows: (1+100)+(2+99)+(3+98) and so on. Thus, he has fifty terms, each equalling 101, so that the sum must be: 50*101=5050.
Are you upset that someone else found the formula for the sum of the first [itex]n[/itex] postive integers before you did? If you are, that's silly! As a young student of mathematics most, if not all, of your ideas will probably already have been stated by someone else. Should that diminish the significance that you derived that formula on your own? Not in the slightest!
Haha.. I felt similar sensations when I proved several of the Taylor Polynomials =P. Congratulations!

Just install using EXE and then follow instructions to make playable for Win 7 suggested system requirements: Pentium 90, 16 MB RAM, HDD 75 MB. Format: EXE Type: Turn-Based Strategy Gamespot Rating: 8.7 _____________________________________________________ Description: Legends speak somewhere in space of the mystical planet Orion. Created by the Ancients, it remains unclaimed due to a powerful Guardian that orbits the planet and keeps out intruders. These same Ancients long ago fought a war against the Antarans and banished them into another dimension. Now... long after the Ancients empire has vanished, new races take to the stars, wishing to establish their own star empires, defeat the Antarans and become... The Master of Orion. Master of Orion II: Battle At Antares is a turn-based 4x space empire game and is the sequel to Master of Orion, reinterpreting that game from scratch. Unlike the original the game can be played single player or with other human players. The player takes the role of a ruler of one of 8 races. They must manage planet resources to build ships and facilities, improving producion. Exploration of the galaxy is done via scouts and colony ships, which can establish new planets as part of the empire. Research must also be done to discover and utilize new technologies. Alien civilizations which are encountered can be negotiated with, or ships can engage in combat in a turn-based grid system. As new systems are explored, random events are triggered and strange artifacts found in orbit around unexplored planets. Wormholes can also be found which allow transport across dozens of parsecs into new star systems. The game can be won in different ways: Through conquest of all other races, Being voted supreme leader of the galaxy or destruction of the Antarans race. _____________________________________________________ This is a real classic !!

We left Tulum bright and early around 8am and stopped to check on the Tulum Mayan ruins on the beach, we didn't actually want to go in as we didn't have the time but we're hoping to see the famous ruin on a cliff overlooking the beach but alas the public beach was a little to far to get a good shot but we could at least see it in the distance. So we hopped back in and headed out of Tulum for Playa Del Carmen!

Warzone 2100
Review by Fahad
"A really good RTS. Something new in a competitive genre"
The only reason why i gave this game a 8 is because the bad controls really hurt the gameplay. I'm a die hard real-time strategy fan. I've played all the classics (C&C, Total Ann, Warcrafts, stracraft, etc). The thing which sets Warzone apart from all of those is the unique research option. The player researches the type of technology he wants to invest in his units. The game is fun to play and one of those "Minutes to learn, months to master" games. Anybody can pick it up right away. This game is also out on the playstation but the PC version is MUCH better.
As i said before, player really picks his game mode. You can research the defensive type of units and build a defensive army. Or, you can research and build offensive fast moving vehicles. The options are unlimited. I think by combining the different options, you can create up to 1500 to 2000 units. Another thing which makes this game unique, i'm not sure if better, is that you use the same battlefield. Meaning, the battlefield that you start out with, in the later objectives, you build upon that base. The music is not that good but it's no big deal.
I would say this game has the highest replay value in all of my RTS collection. It's definitely worth buying, if ur a fan of the genre. If not a fan, download the demo first. It gives you a pretty good idea what this game is about.

An excellent book on a fundamental subject,
This review is from: Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach (Paperback)
Classical mechanics often falls by the wayside in a modern physics curriculum. However, there are times when an understanding of subtle issues in this field are simply necessary for progress in current research directions. At times like these, one is all-too-often forced to turn to older texts such as Goldstein or directly to the literature of a field with which one is rarely intimately familiar. It is therefore a great pleasure to find a text such as Jose and Saletan's, a highly modern, extremely complete and very readable textbook on mechanics at an advanced level.
The book covers all of the standard topics of a graduate mechanics course (Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics, rigid bodies, etc.) as well as more modern topics such as chaotic dynamics. All these subjects are treated in great detail and both in very physical and very formal languages. Most importantly, all of these discussions (including the formal ones!) are packed with completely worked examples which allow one to begin to use these techniques without attempting to decipher formal proofs. The breadth of topics covered and the quality of the writing make this book a valuable addition to any physicist's workbench.

Terrific book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach (Paperback)
This book combines the standard topics covered in a Goldstein-type course; but in a fresh light. Using techniques of modern geometry, presented in an understandable way, it explores not just the solutions of dynamical equations, but the behavior of those solutions over the manifold in which they operate. The book begins by applying this geometry to well established Newtonian mechanics. Once you have that under your belt you are propelled into the Lagrangian formulation in a way that seems quite natural and reveals, easily, the symmetries that lay within. This book is written in a tight and readable style that makes even the most difficult concepts accessable. I highly recommend it and hope that it becomes the standard by which other mechanics texts of this level are measured.

The New Goldstein,
By Akiko Fukada (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach (Paperback)
If you have no exposure to Classical Mechanics or if you starting new then DON'T BUY THIS BOOK. This book is of advance nature. Books like Arya, Hauser or Corben are simpler.
The book starts with the basics, wraps up Newtonian Mechanics in the first chapter. The next five chapters deal in detail with Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations and their applications. They discuss some difficult topics like "Tangent Bundle" "Tangent Spaces" and "lie groups". "Noether's theorem" is also included which I have not seen in many Classical Mechanics books.There are many worked out examples which help the reader understand the subject.The explanations are quite lucid.There are plently of excercises to do but no answers to problems!

Classical Dynamics, a Horrible Approach,
By A Customer
This review is from: Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach (Paperback)
I would give this negative five stars if it were possible. I don't know where these other reviewers are getting the idea that this is a nice book on the subject -- it is unclear to the point where one could only guess that it was intended to confuse the reader, even on the basic material. Chapter 1 is basically all of Marion/Thornton, with an explanation that will serve to reverse one's understanding of these fundamental concepts. I would recommend Goldstein instead, even though it is only marginally better. This is yet another piece of junk which is sure to further reduce the population of physics students. If you are a typical sadistic, elitist professor who wishes to destroy the confidence of your students, then you should require this text.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Contemporary Textbook on Mechanics,
This review is from: Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach (Paperback)
This book offers all the standard text used in undergraduate mechanics courses plus a number of more contemporary topics such as Lie derivatives, manifolds and much on nonlinear dynamical systems, all in a language appropriate for a Physics book. I consider it to be the modern equivalent of classics like the books by Goldstein or Marion. The material of this book should be the new standard for modern Classical Mechanics courses.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Sure beats Marion/Thornton!,

Understandable concepts. Challenging. On theother hand, ANYTHING beats the lame Marion/Thornton text which is lost in a sea ofmindlesss formalism.

F1 : Reserve driver Jules Bianchi in good stead for Force India Formula 1 race seat
Wednesday, 19 December 2012 13:21
Bianchi has 'real chance' of Force India seat says manager - Jules Bianchi has a "real chance" of securing one of the two remaining Formula One race seats on the 2013 grid.
The 23 year old Frenchman's manager Nicolas Todt told RMC Sport that Bianchi is in the running for the vacant Force India drive alongside Paul di Resta.
Bianchi, also supported by Ferrari's driver development 'academy', was the Silverstone based team's full time reserve driver this year.
"The decision is in the hands of two or three people at the Force India team," Todt, the son of FIA president Jean Todt and also the manager of Felipe Massa and Pastor Maldonado, said.
"I think Jules has a real chance but nothing is done," added Todt.
It has been reported the favourite for the drive is German Adrian Sutil, but Todt insisted: "There are many drivers knocking on the door at Force India."
He said he doubts Sutil is a shoe-in for the seat.
"I would be surprised, but as of today I do not think anyone has signed," said Todt.
Force India has announced it will launch its 2013 car at Silverstone on 1 February, ahead of the winter test season in Spain.

At the touch of the on/off switch, the delightful tinkling of a melodic set of chimes announces we're all set to drive the first practical,
five-passenger, fully electric car on sale in North America.
And-it's a Nissan?
Having made their bones on cars like GT-R, Maxima and Z, one would hardly expect this purveyor of high-performance to suddenly be the worldwide leader in electric vehicle (EV) technology. But it is. Nissan has brought forth a fully formed, well thought out product, distinctive only in that it isn't distinctive at all.
Built on a unique platform, Nissan's LEAF (Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car) was designed from the ground up as an EV. Powered by an 80 kW AC motor (about 107 horsepower), producing 280 Nm of torque (about 207 ft-lbs), LEAF has a top speed of
145 km/h (90 mph) and will accelerate to 100 km/h in about seven seconds. The battery pack contains 48 modules, each hosting four laminated lithium-ion cells, for a total of 192 cells. Fully charged, the batteries store 24 kWh of electricity, enough to give Nissan's EV a range of 160 km.
After a day spent with the car in a variety of circumstances; touring through the countryside, creeping in stop and go traffic on the freeway, doing shopping runs to local malls, we came away quite impressed. LEAF is quiet, smooth, very quick, and more than capable of holding its own in any traffic situation.
With its low centre of gravity (the 300-kilo/660-pound battery pack is mounted beneath the floor),
LEAF handles nicely, corners competently and is well balanced. Steering feel is superb and the brakes are absolutely delicious. A full drive report will have to wait until we've been able to really live with the car, but our first impression is quite good.
Remarkably comfortable, with a host of comfort and convenience features including Bluetooth and navigation as standard equipment, LEAF is more than ready for prime time. There may be some initial concern among consumers about driving range, but after spending a week monitoring our travels in a conventional car, we're inclined to concede most people simply do not drive more than 160 miles per day.
Recharging the
battery pack from depleted to about 80 percent of maximum can take as little as 30 minutes with a quick charger. Recharging with the AC200V charger takes just under eight hours. In other words, drive it all day, bring it home, plug it in. The next day LEAF's ready to go-with no stop at a gas station.
Note from the editor: Unlike in the U.S. where the federal government offers a $7,500 USD tax credit for those who purchase a plug-in vehicle, Canada's national powers that be offer no subsidies or incentives to those who want to go electric. However, some provinces, including BC, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and PEI, offer tax rebates/credits that range between $1,000 and $3,000 for hybrid purchases, while Ontario has upped the ante to $8,500 for plug-in types, such as the LEAF.

December 16, 2008 True confessions of a Bernard Madoff investor—er, former investor |
There are some crazy rumors flying around concerning this Bernard Madoff mess. (There have also been more than a few anti-Semitic comments left on this blog.) One of those wild rumors was that a foundation belonging to Steven Spielberg had lost a $300 million investment. Not true. The landscape of losses remains incredibly unclear. I spent all day on the phone with various Jewish communal leaders, compiling my own list of victims, but felt I only scratched the surface ... in Los Angeles. And remember, Madoff was better connected back east; the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, for exampled, reported losing $10 million. My story should be online early Tuesday morning. In the meantime, here are the lamentations of one former Madoff investor: Read the rest of Robert Chew's tale here. |

Library Home... About Us... Leatherby Libraries' Building FAQ's | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
About the Building
Who was the architect and builder for the Leatherby Libraries? When
was the groundbreaking and when will the grand opening occur? What
was the cost of the Leatherby Libraries and how was it funded? A listing of the donor names will appear on the donor wall. The gifts range in size from the lead gift of $3,000,000. We consider a "Major gift" to be $5,000 and above, but there are many people who have given to this library vision with much less than that, including a 100% participation from Library staff. How does the Leatherby Libraries compare to the Thurmond Clarke Memorial Library (TCML)?
Floor: Annenberg Satellite Education Information Center. Funded by the Annenberg Foundation to support library services to Brandman University and Interlibrary Loan. Roger O. and Anne Newton Walther Periodical Reading Room includes current periodicals, newspaper and microfilm area, and reading tables. Second
Floor: The second
and third floors feature some reading alcoves, one on floor
two funded by the Raymond Group. Marge
Stegemeier Rotunda Reading Room. Dramatic two-story space
where there are tables and chairs. Fourth
Floor: Will
the Leatherby Libraries have Internet access? Who
provided the furnishings? |
