The goal of this project is to successfully replace all current maps in the official SRB2 Circuit Rotation with 2D maps that all feature separate paths made specifically for Sonic, Tails and Knuckles.
When a player reaches the end, they are teleported back to the beginning of whatever path they were on, and repeat it until all laps are completed. Proof-of-concept pictures included: (Please note that this is in a VERY, VERY EARLY STAGE.) The focus of this is not detail and decoration(As many claim 2D is all about), but gameplay and utilizing separate characters' abilities. I would really like help in this. The process would move much quicker having three people working on separate paths for each level. I.E. I work on all of Sonic's paths, someone else works on all of Tails' paths, and someone else works on all of Knuckles' paths. If you would like to help, download this, edit a path from start to finish in any way you choose, and send back to me via a Private Message(PM). If it looks and plays well enough, you'll receive a PM from me saying that you are part of the crew, and your name will be added to one of the three slots at the bottom of this post. Bottom path is Sonic's. Middle path is Tails'. Top path is Knuckles'. I will be working on Sonic's paths by default. However, that might change if someone submits an edit that surpasses what I am currently working on.

Too fast for you to see me.
I like of the idea, but there's one problem:
* Knuckles obviously have the disadvantage,since his path is on the top, he'd need to climb,and this would desacelerate him, while Sonic and tails will pass directly. This would happen with all the characters that would have their paths on the top,so, I don't know why you want to make 3 paths(one to each char) instead of make 2 paths(one for sonic and one for tails/knux), or only make 1 single path and we will have a perfect place to do a thokfest(I don't have problems with thokfests). |

*panting sounds*
The reason I wouldn't make a Tails/Knuckles path together is because of the fact that that would leave Sonic all alone, and I want everyone to have their own paths that use their specific abilities. And besides, 2D doesn't allow for thokfests. You can never see what's in front of you very well, can you? :> Last edited by Puppyfaic; 09-20-2010 at 11:11 PM. |

How are you planning on restricting a path to be only for Sonic? The Spin-Fly technique is very powerful and can break a few speed-based hazards.
09-20-2010 | #5 | |
*panting sounds*
When the player spawns, the sector that they spawn it runs a script that changes whoever spawned there to a certain chararcter. Sonic's path changes you to Sonic, Tails' to Tails, etc. Upon completing a lap, if you happen to be another character, it switches you back to whatever character you should be right away. Quite annoying for cheaters, I must say. |
09-20-2010 | #6 |
Too fast for you to see me.
You'll need to put this script in all the sectors of the path, because when the player go out of the certain sector, he can change the character as well.

And Chao. The script is literally just "Skin Sonic", "Skin Tails", or "Skin Knuckles"(depending on the path). It's already integrated into the wad, so you don't need to worry about it at the moment. You'll see what I mean when you open up the wad in any kind of editor. Last edited by Puppyfaic; 09-21-2010 at 12:08 AM. |

Probably not, there are people that use the command: "bind *key* skin sonic/tails/knuckles". They would change characters quickly and wouldn't worry too much with this. You don't need to put this script in every sector, you can only put it in 4 or 6 sectors in the map, and this will realy annoy cheaters.

You know, this never worked for me due to the space between "Skin" and "Sonic/Tails/Knuckles".

Let's modify that:
*but lolwhowantstobetailsinsonicroutejusttospindashandf ly *but lolwhowantstobetailsonknucklesroute *but lolwhowantstobekucklesontailsroute It isn't realy true, but if you don't take care, the little time to still and change the skin will compensate, like: Tails will spin-and-fly, then, tails will pass sonic, or even: tails can fly and pass the knuckles obstacles quickly than himself, etc,etc,etc. To a map like this works as well, you'll need to be very careful to each detail, and make sure that any character can't pass the other character's path, or at least try it. =\ |

A "rather brash" indivisual
Frankly, this sounds like a terrible idea. Having separate paths for all 3 characters makes it nigh impossible to balance between them, not to mention 2D mode's horrible physics and even MORE Thokfest qualities. That, and you completely ignore 2D's strength: The ability to do scenery without worrying about the player crawling over it and breaking the level. I see none of that here, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say that you haven't gotten to that yet.
Frankly, I see NO reason to make individual paths for the 3 character types a good idea at all, as it just takes away something from race; it's like two players are on two completely different levels. It's not like you can't NOT put the same characters on the same plane. It's probably possible to balance them if you try to nerf Sonic's abilities here and there with obstacles to give Tails & Knux something against Thokfests. Though, given how Sonic is supposed to be THE fastest and has the ability to reach top speed with a double jump, it would be quite difficult, multi-plane or not. I still wish SRB2 Riders could be ported...

"Tripp is a perfectly acceptable name." Only, that's not true. I can't go around making these things up; they'll come back and bite me on the ass, one of these days. Or worse, if I say these things in public media, over time, they might become culturally true (the phenomenon where a falsity is reiterated enough times it becomes true). Hence, some unfortunate people are named Tripp. (Poor little guy)
It works the same way for information about music. If you've stuck with DR for while, you might recall an anecdote about my uncle: He bought a recording of Wozzeck, liked it, then asked me what was twelve-tone about it, because, contrary to what he heard, it was pretty. Where did he receive the information that twelve-tone music is ugly? Hmmm...
My gripe today is rather small, but the same principle applies. And we need to set the record straight.
Gyorgy Ligeti wrote his Horn Trio in 1982 after a five-year silence following his opera Le Grand Macabre, a breakthrough that led to a series of concertos over the next decade.
Bzzzt! Wrong.
For the record:
(And I'll be generous and give Lawrence 1992, just because it looks prettier [1982-1992], even though that's eleven years.)
Ligeti wrote exactly one concerto in those eleven years—the Piano Concerto. THAT'S ALL—one concerto, not a series of concerti. He started the Violin Concerto in 1989, but didn't finish it until 1993. His Hamburg Concerto, for horn, was written in 1999 and subsequently revised in 2002.
On the other end of the spectrum (before 1982), Ligeti wrote:
1. Romanian Concerto, for orchestra (1951)
2. Cello Concerto (1966)
3. Chamber Concerto (1970)
4. Double Concerto, for flute and oboe (1972)
Oh, and in those five years of silence: Scenes and Interludes from Le Grande Macabre (for four soloists, chorus and orchestra), Hungarian Rock (harpsichord), Passacaglia ungherese (harpsichord), and Hommage a Hilding Rosenberg (violin and cello).
Other than that, the review is pretty alright.

The British heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson has been forced to pull out of the Hypo Meeting in Gotzis this weekend with an ankle injury.
The 20-year-old, who finished 15th in the Olympic heptathlon event won by Jessica Ennis in London last year, was the only British athlete scheduled to appear in the international line-up in the Austrian town, which includes many of the world's leading heptathletes including the world champion, Tatyana Chernova, who took the bronze medal behind Ennis in London.
Johnson-Thompson, who has been labelled "the next Ennis", picked up a slight ankle strain while competing at Loughborough last weekend and, on doctors' advice, has opted to pull out.
She has already begun rehabilitation work and is expected to return to competition in Bedford next month as she prepares for the World Championships in Moscow in August. Her long-term aim remains making an impact at the 2016 Games in Rio.
Ennis, meanwhile, had already opted to miss the Gotzis event after marrying her long-term partner Andy Hill at the weekend. She will make her 2013 heptathlon debut in Tallinn, Estonia on 29-30 June.

"SOLUS": A minimal adventure in space, SOLUS is a short story of loneliness, life, and sacrifice.
When I began work on this short about 4 months ago I set out to tell a simple, design-driven story, and create a beautifully minimal universe that people would want to explore with me.
The idea at its core was to tell an adventure story, inspired by classic 2D side-scrollers. I wanted to create a simple character that never spoke, and develop a connection between the audience and the hero. I'm a huge sci-fi fan (Interstellar included!), and wanted to build a beautiful, expansive universe so that people would want to join in on the adventure.
Creating a personal/passion project is challenging for a lot of reasons. "No deadlines" sounds nice in theory, but without a deadline the scope of a project can get out of hand very quickly. I've started on a few personal short films in the past and, after finishing a few beautifully detailed scenes, I'd realize the projects would take years to complete.
In the beginning, I had imagined the film taking an even more minimalistic form that what it became. In my mind, it started very similarly to the classic game Asteroids. The spaceship was a simple red triangle, and there were no gradients or shading. Just flat, simple, basic shapes. Learning from my past mistakes, I wanted to keep the project manageable and simple. However, as things often do, it evolved over time into something a bit more complex. I soon realized (with some help from others) that the story needed a hero with more personality than a simple triangle can offer.
The biggest obstacle to finishing a passion project is blocking out the time it takes to make something worthwhile. As a young company, we try as stay as busy as we can with client projects. Like most people, we have bills to pay, so every billable hour is important!
I'd been talking with our team at Identity about my desire to create a short film for a few months, so the team helped carve out a week of free time between projects to get started. Leading up to that week, I spent a considerable amount of nights brainstorming and shot-listing, which made it really easy to get straight to work when the free time finally arrived. By the end of the week I had established the visual feel, and had rough versions of a little more than half of the scenes.
From there, the work continued on nights and weekends, and a few days between client projects when our schedule at Identity allowed. I continued to create, tweak and polish until the film slowly came to life.
Each scene was illustrated and animated entirely in After Effects. I rendered each scene individually and brought them into Premiere for the editing process. The pace of the film was important, too slow and the viewer could get bored, too fast and the audience could miss what was happening. I wanted to give the audience just enough of each scene to draw them in, but no more. I rendered each shot with about 5 seconds extra on the front and back, which allowed for easy adjustment of the pacing in Premiere without the need to re-render.
The most challenging part of the film was the User Interface design. I had two key elements to communicate to the audience: 1) scanning each planet, and 2) a battery/fuel indicator. Each represented something vital to the film, one represents the search for life and a home, while the other is a reminder of our hero's mortality. I'm always tempted to go way over the top when designing on screen UI elements, but for this short I wanted to communicate each idea as simply as possible. Through the films repetitive nature I hoped to slowly teach the audience the meaning of both UI elements over time. The planet scanning design came together quickly, but the battery life indicator proved to be very difficult. I probably went through a dozen iterations before finding a sweet spot, somewhere between hit-them-over-the-head-obvious and outright confusion.
From the beginning I knew that in order to bring this space adventure to life, we would need fantastic audio, that not only was beautiful, but told a story in itself. The wildly talented producer (and drummer) Niko Xidas was the mastermind behind the sound design in SOLUS. If I had any hope of pulling off the UI elements, and creating environments that drew people in, the sound design needed to tell the story as much as the visuals. Niko instantly understood what I was going for, and crafted some incredibly unique sounds that are essential to film's emotions and plot.
With such a simple visual style, I knew that the score needed to drive the emotion and life of the piece. I sat down with Cody Fry, who is an incredibly talented artist based here in Nashville. After watching a rough edit, we quickly decided that an orchestral score would be a beautiful contrast to the precise minimalism of the visuals. I gave giving him a few notes (mainly things like "make it sad there", "scary here", and "all the loneliness"…) a crudely drawn dynamics chart (X-Axis = Time, Y-Axis = Dynamics) and a Spotify playlist full of inspiration tracks (mostly Michael Giacchino). A few weeks later we met up again and Cody had somehow made sense of it all. He created a true work of art, a score that blew away my wildest expectations!
We tracked strings at Quonset Hut Studios here in Nashville, TN with some fantastic local musicians contracted by Travis Patton. Mike Janas, the lead engineer, was insanely generous and allowed us to use the studio for free. Jeremy Brown stepped in as our Pro Tools operator. There is something really special about having that many people in a room working together to bring a piece of music to life. It was an experience I know I will never forget.
At Identity Visuals we have a strong desire to tell beautiful, meaningful stories. I hope you enjoy SOLUS, because we had blast creating it!
I'm planning on writing a follow-up post with some some technical behind-the-scenes info on the creation of the visuals in SOLUS. If there's anything specific you are curious about, please let me know on Twitter @zacdixon.
I did not consult with Christopher Nolan on this film.

The agenda of the Church's General Synod, meeting in York this weekend, is dominated by proposals to minimise the disruption caused by the ordination of women. The House of Bishops has produced a plan for those who reject women clergy to have as little as possible to do with bishops who accept them. Opponents regard this as insufficient, while many supporters feel it makes too many concessions.
Dr Carey's address to the synod appealed to both sides to show generosity of spirit.
He denounced parishes which threaten to withdraw funds from dioceses in protest against decisions they disapprove of.
Such action was not in the spirit of Christ and would endanger the mission of the Church, he said, making it less national.
One Anglo-Catholic opponent of women's ordination, asked privately how an archbishop in favour could consecrate 'flying bishops' to cater for opponents, said: 'It's a bit like making love to a woman you don't like. I think we'll just have to ask George to turn off the cathedral lights.'

Topic tags/keywords: jig question dowel perpendicular cuts I need to cut two perpendicular cuts in the end of a round tenon to insert wedges into for a tool handle. The tenon is 3/4" diameter and about 3" long and I would like the cuts centered in the end of the dowel and perpendicular to each other. The cut needs to do down about 1 1/2" into the end of the tenon. I'd like to do this on a bandsaw to keep the kerf small. How can I make the first cut and then rotate the dowel for the second cut and ensure that it is still centered and at 90 degrees to the first cut? Any suggestions for a jig to hold the handle in place while I make the cuts? -- Jeff, www.jeffswooddesigns.com |

This is what I'd try: Make a square cube of wood. In one corner, equally distanced from the two near sides, drill a 1" deep hole sufficiently sized to be a press fit for the dowel (but be able to get it out again. Use the sides of the cube against the bandsaw table and fence as guides when cutting the first cut, backing out, rotating, and cutting the second one. Check results, tweak if needed, and try again. ETA and mind your hands – make your cube big enough so they're not in the way. |

Once you make your cuts and insert the dowel into the tool and install your first wedge, are you planning to cut the perpendicular cut again, to cut through the wedge in the first cut? |
#6 posted 03-29-2013 06:22 AM |
Jeff, I can't think of a way to make it perfect and consistent without an indexing pin. Although I'd swear I remember them doing this in Woodsmith once with a clever trick. I'd just use a V shaped carrier and eyeball it. I'm struggling a bit with how this will work. Are you using 3 wedges? |
#7 posted 03-29-2013 07:21 AM |
Essentially what Elizabeth said is to make a "collet block", a perfectly square block with a hole dead center. Machine shops have collect blocks that can hold the various collet sizes they typically use. The dowel is inserted in the hole, locked in place with either a pin or screw, cut one slot, rotate the square block to another face and cut cut again. If you have an old drill press chuck sitting around you can make sort of a collet block for your shop by putting the chuck (O.D.) into the block and a set screw to hold it in place once you have inserted the dowel to be cut, slide the chuck into the block, cut the slot, rotate the block, cut again, loosen the set screw, remove chuck with dowel, loosen chuck, remove dowel, and repeat as needed. This is a drawing of my Chuck block -- "I never met a board I didn't like!" |
#8 posted 03-29-2013 01:15 PM |
Thanks for all the great suggestions. I think I will try making the square block and see how that works. I really like the drill press chuck idea but since this is on the end of a tenon of a handle it can't be put into a chuck. I see I used the word dowel once in my first note and I shouldn't have. Per Rick M.'s question….yes, I am going to use 3 wedges. I'll get them all started at the same time so I can tap them down together to ensure that they end up the same width at the top of the tenon. -- Jeff, www.jeffswooddesigns.com |

Okay, now that I'm not half asleep I understand Elizabeth's suggestion, thanks to Old Novice too, and it looks like a winner. I like Jim's suggestion too which is a similar idea adapted for a tablesaw. Truth be told, if it's only one or a couple I'd probably still eyeball it, you'd be within a few thousands of perpendicular if your eyeballs are trained at all. My drafting teacher (decades ago now), taught us to rely on our eyes and not our rulers for measurements 1/4" or smaller. |

I put together my 'prototype' jig based upon your suggestions. I actually combined a couple of suggestions to come up with this jig….the v-block to hold the handle and a square block to create the 90 degree cuts. I didn't want to use the fence because I need to make a lot of these, I hope, over time so I wanted to simplify my setup each time. So I made a sled with a v-block centered on the bandsaw blade and a square block to slide over the tenon on the handle. Here's a picture of the result: Thanks for all your suggestions!! -- Jeff, www.jeffswooddesigns.com |

That's so simple and yet works perfectly, I like it. |

Why two cuts? Only one wedge is needed. |

I want 2 cuts to provide a decorative top to the carving mallets that I am making. Yes, only one wedge is necessary for function. -- Jeff, www.jeffswooddesigns.com |

A day in photos ...
Then stopped by Rick & Courtney's yard sale (buy their furniture if it hasn't sold already--it's cheap!):
The Mr. Pants and I went on a photo safari to Mebane, NC, (pronounced "mebbin" in case you aren't from around here):
The we went to dinner at ... damn, I can't remember what it's called ... nouveaux Mexican joint on Shannon Road ... starts with a "T" ... somebody help me out here. Anyway, I didn't get photos because my camera battery was charging at home. I ordered the tacos de nopalitos con salsa de tuna (pickled cactus leaves with prickly-pear salsa). The food was good but it took forever for them to take our order, and then my entree arrived long after Mr. P's did. But I'll eat there again ... like I said the food was good. I saw another WXDU dj there, and he was upset because his endive salad contained no endive ... seemed like a perfect metaphor for life, to me: "Sometimes you have to make do with no endive."
Then we went to the Starlite to see Snakes on a Plane:
Rick and Courtney and Jamie were all supposedly there, but it was very dark, so I guess I missed them. We had a great time, nonetheless.

I was going to ask about the pronunciation. We have a bunch of towns (and street names) that I pronounce differently that the locals. For example, "New Berlin" is pronounced Nuh-Burr-Lynn.

How was Snakes on a Plane? I was flirting with the idea of going, but my SO thinks it's silly and thus not worth going to, and I think it's silly and thus totally worth going to. :)

I was also at the Farmer's Market and Snakes on a Plane yesterday. But I didn't take any pictures

Crystal, my favorite bad pronunciation place is Buena Vista, VA--the locals call it BEW-na Vista!
Seth, it is silly and totally worth going to ... preferably at the drive-in! If you approach it from the perspective that it's just a B movie that worked the right kind of hype, then it's great.
Georg, was everyone in town at the Starlite Saturday night? - 5:43 AM

we were there! i even think we may have been only a few cars away from you...but we'll never know, i guess.

Thanks, Scott. That's so not a mexican restaurant name. It's more of an Italian restaurant name. Actually it sounds like the latest popular baby name ... used for boys or girls ...
- scott said...
yeah, i dunno what it means. the owner told me the first time I was there, but I forget.
actually, i had lunch there today - had the same cactus tacos you had - very tasty. they've started actually seasoning their food with salt and pepper, which is a big improvement over the fresh but bland stuff they were serving right after they opened. plus, the tomatillo salsa now has a little more bite to it. mmmmm..... - 2:35 PM
- scott said...
and, since you are on the subject of odd pronunciations, I suggest we all refer to this joint from now on as Toe-nail-y.

Results 1 to 7 of 7
Forgotten / Upper Eardley / Crack
Spring Break rolled around and it was time to go to the Swell, as per standard practice.
Thursday we went into Forgotten Canyon. This is a pretty sweet little gem that gets overlooked for being less than 10 miles from I-70. We used the entrance off the Moore Cutoff, parking at the top of the hill just west of Eagle Canyon. We dropped in, scrambled down the steep upper 2/3rd of the canyon wall, traversed and rapped in (~40') about halfway between the Eagle Canyon slot and the Forgotten Canyon mouth. Hiked up Forgotten Canyon, through a couple of bends and over some boulders, all the obstacles were dry, and there were no pools. Made it to the first side canyon coming in from the north, has anyone descended this one from the top? Took some pics and turned around Came out a slightly different way. Great narrows, while it never truly slots up, the canyon is deep, and the walls are smooth. A great canyon for those that love the Navajo.

Upper Eardley
Friday found us guiding some beginner canyoneers into Upper Eardley. We drove in on the Red Draw Road, which actually goes two or so miles past the labeled end of the road on the NG/TI San Raf Map. The reservoir on the map that the road ends at was dry so we blasted down the road, checking out the wild burros en route. 20 minutes across the Kaibab Bench has us at the top of the canyon. Had some members do the first rappel (~40') and others use the 3rd class bypass on the left (LDC). Down boulders & ramps to the second rappel, where some of us dropped ~50' to the floor while some went around the 3rd class bypass on the right (LDC). Getting here with all the beginners took some time, so we made it through some narrows to the confluence with Hyde Draw and hiked back out. I'd like to come back solo and hike all the way down and back some day. This is a beautiful canyon. The texture is incredible.

thanks for all the kind words.
yes, i'm aware the rope/webbing situation. it was actually quite comical; we spent 30 minutes discussing and rigging an anchor for what basically amounted to about an 18' rappel. it was easily bypassed, but since we brought the rope with us for our entrance rap, it was like, "well, we may as well do this for fun". after we got it figured out and set up we [five of us] were down in less than five minutes, we opted for the rope on webbing simply because of the lack of exposure or severe danger, and to ease the job of the person who scrambled back up. we didn't pull the rope from the bottom, rather the top guy undid our anchor and then simply let the rope drop to us. again, it was rather silly how much effort went into this rap, but in the end, we did it not out of ignorance, but after careful discussion and calculating. It wasnt the best system, no, but it worked for us.

Viruses Can Make a Mess on Your Android Device
Android is one of the best OS in history. It is really stable, and it provides its users with millions of apps. On the other hand, it is really secured. The problem is that devices that use android usually have SD memory cards. This means that in order to transfer music or pictures, you will have to use your computer. This will probably bring a lot of issues like viruses. Maybe your phone is secured, but your computer could be infected with viruses that can affect your phone too. If this happens, you probably will lose your data. The good thing is that you can get android file recovery programs.

The scandal at Olympus took another twist yesterday when a major investor advisory group told shareholders to reject the camera company's newly restated accounts, and vote against two new board nominations in case they decide to sue the firm in the future.
With Tokyo prosecutors still investigating Olympus officials on suspicion of their role in a £1.1bn accounting fraud, ISS Proxy Advisory Services warned shareholders that accepting the restated accounts could undermine prospective lawsuits.
The accounts will be put up for vote at an extraordinary general meeting on 20 April. Olympus had hoped to use the meeting to move on from the accounting fraud. But that looked unlikely after ISS said: "Supporting this resolution is an endorsement of the company's financial statements, and would not be appropriate at a time when the findings of investigations by public entities are not available.
"Given the unusual circumstances surrounding Olympus, it would not be advisable for shareholders to support this proposal"
ISS also told shareholders to reject Olympus's nominations for new president Hiroyuki Sasa and chairman Yasuyuki Kimoto, saying Mr Sasa was not well qualified and Mr Kimoto was too closely associated to one of the firm's biggest creditors, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp.
The group believes Mr Kimoto and another director, Hideaki Fujizuka, who has links to Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, another major creditor may not act in the interests of Olympus shareholders.

Foxconn rumored to manufacture Apple tablet for Q1 2010
Foxconn, the Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer who has partnered with Apple on numerous products, is now rumored to have secured the production of Apple's anticipated tablet device.DigiTimes reported Wednesday morning that Foxconn, the trade name of Hon Hai Precision Industry, will be the manufacturer for the device, citing "market sources." The device is expected to be for sale in the first quarter of 2010, with an alleged initial shipment of 300,000 to 400,000 devices. No price was given.
"The sources indicated they believe the tablet PC features will focus more on e-book functionality rather than music, and that based on Apple's marketing strategy, long battery life, quick Internet connectivity and an easy-to-use user interface will be key features of the device," the report said.
It also claimed that the device will sport a 10.6-inch display, and offered speculation that Foxconn would obtain panels for the tablet from its subsidiary, Innolux Display.
As Apple reportedly prepares to launch its own tablet, other hardware makers are allegedly doing the same as well. The report said that sources expect HP and other computer manufacturers to debut their own tablet-style touchscreen devices soon after, in the second quarter of 2010.
The report corroborates what sources have told AppleInsider —that the still-unseen device will debut in the first quarter of 2010. The 10-inch, 3G-enabled device is believed to run on a custom chip from P.A. Semi.
The information regarding marketing the tablet as an e-reader would seem to bolster recent reports that Apple has reached out to publishers and gained their interest in reproducing content on the device.
Foxconn and Apple made headlines this summer, after a prototype 4G iPhone went missing from one of the company's factories. After an employee was questioned about the matter, he reportedly committed suicide.

Who cares? Everyone that works in McCain's houses are probably in this country illegally.
Sarah Palin illegally abused her powers.
Sarah Palin is a fool.
John McCain is senile.
Cindy McCain is scary.
Tod "the first dude" Palin hangs with Terrorists.
Joe the Plumber is an A _ _ hole.
. . . the list goes on and on and on.
Aunti is in the US illegally (not might be, but is) because her request for asylum was rejected 4 years ago. As an illegal alien, Aunti contributed $260 to Obama's campaign which means that Obama is accepting illegal contributions. Only US citizens or green card holders are legally permitted to give money to campaigns. Aunti is living in public housing which she is unqualified for because she is an illegal alien. Per the Obama campaign – Obama has no knowlege of her status, but believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed. No knowlege of her status? Yeah, right!
The story has a lot to do with the election – let's start with the illegal campaign contributions and go from there . . .
I think we all know someone or the other who lives in the US illeagally...unfortunately, sometimes it is even a relative...but more often it is your gardener, your lawnmower, your mover, or your garbage collector. I am disappointed with CNN that they will make a deal out of something like this. Shame on you!
Let's see, Obama says "I am my brother's keeper." (Except his brother is living in poverty in a foreign country.)
His aunt is living in a slum here in America, possibly illegally.
I guess it just depends on how Obama defines "brother" and "keeper".
"He ain't my brother! He's heavy!"
My call for the boycott of this election also apply to CNN television viewers, as well as all self-respecting Democrats who care about their party and do not wish to see it represented by an idiot like Obama.
The media has hit a new low with this one. The only thing this story does is give the ignorant uneducated morons who still think Obama is not a citizen or that he is a terrorist something else to chew on.
Republican nut jobs: In the article itself it even says it's not a crime but an admin issue. And in regards to obamas citizenship: the news organizations have FULLY investigated and concluded that he is a citizen, born in Hawaii. You just don't believe it but there's no more fact checkng to do. McCain was. 1 of 5 senators involved in the S& L scandal. That should scare you.
Yeppers, NO_Bama...
Protect the Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers, and throw Auntie under the bus. Obama is a sleaze, and no one with a brain will waste their vote on this idiot. Smart man.. works for the Chicago mob in his spare time. He makes me sick.
So what? My dad has five sisters. Am I responsible for their actions?
If US Immigration told this ADULT woman that she could not stay in the country ... then why wasn't she escorted to the airport and put on a plane right then and there? You'd think by now that US Immigration would have figured out that the "honour system" wasn't working!
This story is more telling about the completely flawed US federal government and its agencies than it is about a defiant elderly woman who just happens to be a relative of a profile individual.
Is it only I, or do others find it strange that Obama has an aunt who wants to live in this country and participate in the democratic process and S. Palin has a husband who wants to secede from the country altogether?
this is as much an issue as McCain's brother calling 911 to complain about traffic then saying "f-you" to the operator when they called him on it.
GOP strategy seems to be to run on innuendos. When will they start discussing policy? When will they say something that is true?
If it had to deal with McCain it would be big news, but O backers are say no big deal. ROTFFLMOA at them!!!!!

The dark side of constant power amplifiers (and similar schemes)
In a recent thread (that turned sour), the subject of "constant power amplifiers" (load invariant) was raised.
The usefulness or desirability or such a scheme is debatable, but there are more fundamental questions about the consequences of including such a "feature" in an amplifier. In the thread in question (that I don't want to revive for obvious reasons), I said that this class of non-linear circuits was suitable for industrial control or processing, but not for audio. Here is what I mean by that. The first pic below is such a device in its spice-idealized, canonical form. It is easily visible by simple inspection of the equation that the circuit does indeed perform the task. Rv (R virtual) is an internal constant required for scaling and dimensional consistency. Here, everything is unitary as the circuit is simply meant for theoretical analysis. We see that apparently, in this perfect form, the circuit performs perfectly: the THD is LTspice's floor for these settings. Everything perfect then? Not really. The sim shows the situation for a purely passive, resistive load. An amplifier is supposed to drive a speaker, which is far from this ideal: amongst other things, it generates back emf after it has been excited. Let's see the behavior of the amplifier's output when it is subjected to a back emf. The instantaneous input voltage/power is set at some level, 0.5/0.25 times the maximum for example, and the stimulus source is placed in series with the output load. The situation has changed completely: the circuit now shows its non-linear nature: to keep the power constant, it needs to alter its output impedance, leading to severe distortion of the current into the load. These results are general, and not linked to this particular implementation of the scheme (which is canonical anyway): this behavior is required to achieve the constant (instantaneous) power constant. This means that such an amplifier will necessarily have an output impedance having the following attributes: -Finite -Variable -Non-linear That is a killer combination, even if the hardware does its job perfectly. A good reason to stay clear of this kind of "improvement"

He isn't and he clearly states that. I think if you look over some of his posts in other threads you will see that Elvee contributes a lot of very good things to the forum.

This lame duck of vintage amplifier can rest in peace, but I think it is useful to put the record straight on the subject: such load-invariant amplifiers are not a good idea, for very fundamental and theoretical reasons. BTW, the thread was not closed by the moderation, but I think that it would have been had the discussion continued

FWIW, you can get fairly constant power over a fairly wide range of load impedance just by using a linear amplifier with a modest damping factor.
Indeed. Hopefully this one won't be derailed by people responding to the voices in their head, rather than what's actually been posted. I always find your input interesting and thought provoking, even though (or perhaps because) it tends to make my head hurt. Last edited by godfrey; 18th April 2013 at 02:16 PM. |

It would be possible to make a "proper" constant power amp by using a modified AGC rather than real time instantaneous computation, but I am not sure it is worth the trouble: you will have to dimension the voltage aspect of the amp in function of the highest resistance load it is supposed to drive, and the current aspect for the minimum one. All considered, very disadvantageous tradeoffs.

This is a nice summary of "constant current/constant power" amplifiers. Thank you Elvee.
The whole audio/ "hi-fi" industry is geared towards high damping factor voltage amplifiers and reltively low Q speakers. It is a convention that provides a "one size fits all" (not really ) approach to mixing and matching components. Hi fi wasn't always this way. Speakers of yesteryear were typically high Q, high resonance, relatively efficient units. They did not require high damping from the amplifier or a sealed box to work properly. Look at the first speaker released by Wharfedale in the 1930s - it set the bar for speakers for 25 years or so, yet it is an oddity by today's standards. Furthermore, it might be difficult to drive it properly with a modern amplifier. I looked at some of the modern "current source" amplifiers here and quickly realised that they might be useful for specific applications. I don't think you could build a "one size fits all" current amplifier; it might be optimised for one speaker that benefits from an optimised current amplifier but be disasterous with any other speaker. Hi-fis of yesteryear were often fully integrated units like the "console" hi-fi of the 50s. In a design like this, the designer has control over everything from source to amplifier to speaker and isn't constrained to high damping factor or whatever parameter is required to fit the "one size fits all" convention of today. |

if the circuit you are refering to is really *that* linear into a resitive load and if it has a differential input, it might be useful as front-end in a power amplifier. When using a non-inverting configuration together with not too high overall amplifier gain, the input stage may determine the overall performance due to common-mode input distortion. Several ways to cope with that are known, e.g. the (common-mode controlled) cascode, a Cascomp or Edmond Stuart's nice idea of mudulating the front-end supply voltage (CMCL). Of course, using high supply voltages may solve the problem in most cases. If one wants to circumvent high supply voltages, yet another candidate to tackle the common-mode problem would be interesting, even if it only performs well into a purely resistive load. Could you please provide a reference to such a circuit? If you do not want to have it in the forum, could you please send me a private message? Thanks and BR, Matze |

Thank you and goodbye

"On behalf of the Council, staff and volunteers at the Memorial, I pay tribute to Steve for his visionary and inspirational leadership. His extraordinary talents have guided the Memorial for more than a decade and a half," said Rear Admiral Ken Doolan AO RAN (Ret'd), Chairman of the Council of the Australian War Memorial.
"The Memorial has thrived under his directorship. Steve's energy and vision have helped to extend its reputation as a world-class museum and a revered national site of commemoration".
"Steve's legacy to the nation is one of a renewed vision for the Memorial, firmly establishing its place in the hearts of so many Australians."
Steve Gower was appointed Director of the Memorial in March 1996, following an outstanding career in the Australian Army, where he reached the rank of Major General. He saw active service in Vietnam as an artillery forward observer.
As Memorial Director, Steve led the redevelopment of many of the Memorial's exhibition galleries, including the Second World War galleries, Aircraft Hall, the Hall of Valour, and the Conflicts 1945 to today galleries, as well as the construction of ANZAC Hall, the CEW Bean Building, the creation of the Sculpture Garden, and the award-winning redevelopment of the Eastern Precinct, which features the National Service Memorial.
Steve was also instrumental in the Memorial being inducted into the Australian Tourism Awards Hall of Fame in 2003.
Other substantial contributions include those to the broader Canberra community and, at the national level, to the Australian tourism and museum industries. Steve has held the positions of Chair of the Council of Australian Museum Directors (2000–04); member of the Executive Board for Museum Management, International Council of Museums (2001–07); Chair of the Board, Canberra Convention Bureau; patron of ACT Cricket; and honorary ambassador for Canberra. In 2006, Steve received a tourism industry award recognising the outstanding contribution by an individual.
Steve has been on personal carer's leave since November 2011. Nola Anderson has been Acting Director during this time and will continue acting in the role until December 2012 when the Hon Dr Brendan Nelson takes up the position.
Read more of Steve Gower's time at the Australian War Memorial in a recent Wartime article.
Robyn Hendry
Steve has made an extraordinary contribution to the Australian War Memorial, ACT Tourism and the Canberra Convention Bureau.It has been both an honour and a pleasure working along side the great achievments of the Australian War Memorial, under Steve's dynamic leadership. On behalf of the Board, members and all the team at the Canberra Convention Bureau we convey our appreciation and extend our best wishes to Steve and family. Warm regards Robyn Hendry, CEO Canberra Convention Bureau.
Thanks to Steve. That was a long time and I grew to love to read your entry passage to wartime mag each quarter. I hope you can maybe write some article for wartime in future so your experience is not lost and we still hear from you! Thanks to all at the Australian War Memorial as it would have to be the greatest war memorial website and museum in the world. Cheers
C. Dujardin
I am a Belgian historian interested in the WW1 Australian soldiers in the Charleroi's area. Twice, I was lucky to meet Dr Brendan Nelson as Ambassador to Belgium and European Union. He will be soon the new Director of the Australian War Memorial and I think he is the right man in the right place. The man is sympathetic and very attentive about the Australians soldiers who fought on the Western Front. He is a "dinkum Aussie". I wish him good luck in his new job as Director.
C. Dujardin
I wish to thank the Australian War Memorial for all the Records and War Diaries that are so precious when you are a Belgian historian and you need information for a research. I also wish to thank all those who helped me when I had a question about the WW1 Australian soldiers.

Now, there are some iPhone games pretty much everyone out there has on their handset: Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja, Flight Control and Plants vs Zombies. Even if you don't have them, you've heard about them, but have you played them in real life? This is probably the most hilarious attempt of bringing the most popular iPhone titles to life with real Angry People jumping on trampolines dressed as birds, wearing a flower costume and defending against zombies, and if that wasn't amusing enough it's all spiced up with a seriously catchy indie tune. Oh, and there's a real Flight Control girl!
One last warning before you start watching - don't try this at home. Seriously, it could hurt. You've been warned, so feel free to proceed to the video below for a good start of the week.

In the Yucatan, foods cooked "en escabeche" are stewed with aromatic vegetables and robust flavorings, then shredded and served in their own cooking juices. Intensely flavorful, this dish is perfect for summer parties as it is cooked the day before and then eaten at room temperature. You may also substitute chicken breasts for turkey. If desired, serve it with warm flour tortillas and shredded lettuce.
Serves 4
Set a nonreactive pot or stovetop casserole (just large enough to hold the turkey breast) over medium heat. Add the turkey, breast side down, and all ingredients except for the peppers and 1/2 of the onion slices. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat, covered, 20 minutes. Turn the turkey over and simmer, covered, another 20 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and quickly add the remaining onion and pepper slices to the broth. Cover again and let cool, then refrigerate overnight.
Next day, if any fat has solidified, skim it off and discard. Place the pot over low heat just long enough to melt the gelled liquid and take the chill off the meat. Discard the bay leaves, carrot and celery stalk. Remove the turkey breast and serve at room temperature, shredded or sliced, topped with the sliced vegetables and sauce.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve the shredded meat and vegetables in Mexican bolillos or
crusty French rolls with a slice of jalapeño pepper. Or, let
your guests roll the moist shredded meat and vegetables into warm
flour tortillas, garnished with chopped cilantro and crisp lettuce.
If desired, the cooking liquid can be reduced to a thicker

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
Before the season, before the Bruins' Jarome Iginla had donned the spoked-B sweater in a regular-season game, he was asked about possibilities missed and taken. He was asked about a Stanley Cup that could have been his.
"No," he said. "Honestly not a lot of what-ifs."
He said he didn't regret the trade that almost was — when he was minutes from being dealt to the Bruins before asking onto the Penguins at last season's deadline, a trade that could have been the missing piece to a second Cup in three seasons for Boston.
What Iginla's done this season is bring consistency and heightened play to a line that has, in past years, been streaky through the regular season before raising its level in the postseason.

The final version of this information is now available at: http://www.helsinki.fi/folkloristiikka/FT19_Register_II_2013.pdf
An international colloquium on meaning and human expression 22nd–24th May 2013, Helsinki, Finland
'Register' originated as a term in linguistics for contextual variation in language, or language as it is used in a particular communicative situation. This term and concept has become important for addressing communication through practice in several intersecting disciplines, such as folkloristics, linguistics and linguistic anthropology, being used with varying fields of inclusion and exclusion, ranging from the purely verbal level of communication to all features which have the capacity to signify (props, gestures, etc.). The Helsinki Register colloquia have been organized to bring together representatives of diverse perspectives in order to open cross-disciplinary discussion of the term and concept 'register'.
Register II sets out to explore interfaces of social, societal and semiotic processes that a) give rise to registers as meaningful constellations of communicative features; b) affect existing registers and their constituent features; and c) lead registers to become obsolete for certain functions or to drop out of use. We invite presentations on both synchronically oriented research and on long-term historical perspectives; on rapidly developing or short-lived registers (e.g. school-yard slang, 'facebookese') as well as on registers characterized by social stability and slow-changing structures (e.g. 'Biblical' language, oral epic singing). We hope that diverse presentations from different disciplinary perspectives on the life of registers as social practice will prove reciprocally informative and produce new insights and understandings.
