The W3 Project
W3, formed between TrekDesk, WinetoWater.org and FiltersFast, lets you donate the miles you walk to bring fresh drinking water to millions in need.
OverviewThe W3 Project is building a community of humanitarians who walk in pursuit of health and wellness for themselves and the underprivileged world wide. Through the combined efforts of W3 Partners $1,000,000 will be raised to dig wells and provide filters in villages around the word that lack access to fresh drinking water while simultaneously spreading the health message of continual daily movement.
In underprivileged villages and communities throughout the world people exert approximately 40 Billion hours annually walking to access water so polluted that it kills 3 children every 60 seconds. Conversely, in the United States where fresh drinking water is in abundance people spend approximately 1.3 trillion hours sitting. 68% of America's adult population is overweight or obese, a condition causing more than 58 obesity related diseases and accounting for 3 deaths every 10 minutes.
- 1 child dies every 20 seconds in the world due to lack of clean drinking water which equates to an annual child mortality rate greater than AIDS, malaria and measles combined.
- 1 Billion people lack access to fresh, clean drinking water world wide.
- $1.00 can bring a year's supply of fresh drinking water to a fellow human being in need.
How the miles you walk

This is my latest cosmetic creation – a toner of just 4 natural ingredients. I was inspired by a toner I saw in Kiehl's a few months ago. Not to knock Kiehl's, but it was very pricey and had a lot of questionable ingredients so I didn't want to buy it. I figured why not try to make my own version? So I did.. I decided that witch hazel (a great natural astringent) would be the base and then I added some dried burduck root (a blood purifier), chamomile flowers (calming & anti-inflammatory), and hibiscus flowers (high in Vitamin C & naturally provide the pink tint).
I gave my mom a sample of it recently and when she was starting to get low, she said she needed a replacement asap! She had noticed such a difference in her skin since she started using it. I couldn't be happier. I'm already thinking of some other blends that I'm going to try making, but for now I'm really loving this one.

Questions and Answers about Gout
This booklet contains general information about gout. It describes what gout is and how it develops. It also explains how gout is diagnosed and treated. At the end is a list of key words to help you understand the terms used in this booklet. If you have further questions after reading this booklet, you may wish to discuss them with your doctor.
What Is Gout?
Gout is a painful condition that occurs when the bodily waste product uric acid is deposited as needle-like crystals in the joints and/or soft tissues. In the joints, these uric acid crystals cause inflammatory arthritis, which in turn leads to intermittent swelling, redness, heat, pain, and stiffness in the joints.
In many people, gout initially affects the joints of the big toe (a condition called podagra). But many other joints and areas around the joints can be affected in addition to or instead of the big toe. These include the insteps, ankles, heels, knees, wrists, fingers, and elbows. Chalky deposits of uric acid, also known as tophi, can appear as lumps under the skin that surrounds the joints and covers the rim of the ear. Uric acid crystals can also collect in the kidneys and cause kidney stones.

What Is Uric Acid?
Uric acid is a substance that results from the breakdown of purines. A normal part of all human tissue, purines are found in many foods. Normally, uric acid is dissolved in the blood and passed through the kidneys into the urine, where it is eliminated.
If there is an increase in the production of uric acid or if the kidneys do not eliminate enough uric acid from the body, levels of it build up in the blood (a condition called hyperuricemia). Hyperuricemia also may result when a person eats too many high-purine foods, such as liver, dried beans and peas, anchovies, and gravies. Hyperuricemia is not a disease, and by itself it is not dangerous. However, if excess uric acid crystals form as a result of hyperuricemia, gout can develop. The crystals form and accumulate in the joint, causing inflammation.
What Are the Four Stages of Gout?
Gout can progress through four stages:
- Asymptomatic (without symptoms) hyperuricemia. In this stage, a person has elevated levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia), but no other symptoms. Treatment is usually not required.
- Acute gout, or acute gouty arthritis. In this stage, hyperuricemia has caused the deposit of uric acid crystals in joint spaces. This leads to a sudden onset of intense pain and swelling in the joints, which also may be warm and very tender. An acute attack commonly occurs at night and can be triggered by stressful events, alcohol or drugs, or the presence of another illness. Attacks usually subside within 3 to 10 days, even without treatment, and the next attack may not occur for months or even years. Over time, however, attacks can last longer and occur more frequently.
- Interval or intercritical gout. This is the period between acute attacks. In this stage, a person does not have any symptoms.
- Chronic tophaceous gout. This is the most disabling stage of gout. It usually develops over a long period, such as 10 years. In this stage, the disease may have caused permanent damage to the affected joints and sometimes to the kidneys. With proper treatment, most people with gout do not progress to this advanced stage.
When It's Not Gout, It May Be Pseudogout
Gout is sometimes confused with other forms of arthritis because the symptoms—acute and episodic attacks of joint warmth, pain, swelling, and stiffness—can be similar. One form of arthritis often confused with gout is called pseudogout. The pain, swelling, and redness of pseudogout can also come on suddenly and may be severe, closely resembling the symptoms of gout. However, the crystals that irritate the joint are calcium phosphate crystals, not uric acid. Therefore, pseudogout is treated somewhat differently and is not reviewed in this booklet.
What Causes Gout?
A number of risk factors are associated with hyperuricemia and gout. They include:
- Genetics. Many people with gout have a family history of the disease. Estimates range from 20 to 80 percent.
- Gender and age. It is more common in men than in women and more common in adults than in children.
- Weight. Being overweight increases the risk of developing hyperuricemia and gout because there is more tissue available for turnover or breakdown, which leads to excess uric acid production.
- Alcohol consumption. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to hyperuricemia, because alcohol interferes with the removal of uric acid from the body.
- Diet. Eating too many foods that are rich in purines can cause or aggravate gout in some people.
- Lead exposure. In some cases, exposure to lead in the environment can cause gout.
- Other health problems. Renal insufficiency, or the inability of the kidneys to eliminate waste products, is a common cause of gout in older people. Other medical problems that contribute to high blood levels of uric acid include:
- high blood pressure
- hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland)
- conditions that cause an excessively rapid turnover of cells, such as psoriasis, hemolytic anemia, or some cancers
- Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome or Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, two rare conditions in which the enzyme that helps control uric acid levels either is not present or is found in insufficient quantities.
- Medications. A number of medications may put people at risk for developing hyperuricemia and gout. They include:
- Diuretics, which are taken to eliminate excess fluid from the body in conditions like hypertension, edema, and heart disease, and which decrease the amount of uric acid passed in the urine
- Salicylate-containing drugs, such as aspirin
- Niacin, a vitamin also known as nicotinic acid
- Cyclosporine, a medication that suppresses the body's immune system (the system that protects the body from infection and disease). This medication is used in the treatment of some autoimmune diseases, and to prevent the body's rejection of transplanted organs.
- Levodopa, a medicine used to support communication along nerve pathways in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Who Is Likely to Develop Gout?
Scientists estimate that 6 million adults age 20 and older report having had gout at some time in their lives.1 It is rare in children and young adults. Men, particularly those between the ages of 40 and 50, are more likely to develop gout than women, who rarely develop the disorder before menopause. People who have had an organ transplant are more susceptible to gout.
1According to the National Arthritis Data Workgroup, this estimate is based on self-reports, which may produce an overestimation of prevalence, as cited in Helmick CG, Felson DT, Lawrence RC, Gabriel S, Hirsch R, Kwoh CK, et al.; National Arthritis Data Workgroup. Estimates of the prevalence of arthritis and other rheumatic conditions in the United States. Part 1. Arthritis and Rheumatism 2008;1:15-25.
How Is Gout Diagnosed?
Gout may be difficult for doctors to diagnose because the symptoms can be vague, and gout often mimics other conditions. Although most people with gout have hyperuricemia at some time during the course of their disease, it may not be present during an acute attack. In addition, having hyperuricemia alone does not mean that a person will get gout. In fact, most people with hyperuricemia do not develop the disease.
To confirm a diagnosis of gout, a doctor may insert a needle into an inflamed joint and draw a sample of synovial fluid, the substance that lubricates a joint. The joint fluid is placed on a slide and examined under a microscope for uric acid crystals. Their absence, however, does not completely rule out the diagnosis.
The doctor also may find it helpful to look for uric acid crystals around joints to diagnose gout. Gout attacks may mimic joint infections, and a doctor who suspects a joint infection (rather than gout) may also culture the joint fluid to see whether bacteria are present.
Signs and Symptoms of Gout
- hyperuricemia
- presence of uric acid crystals in joint fluid
- more than one attack of acute arthritis
- arthritis that develops in a day, producing a swollen, red, and warm joint
- attack of arthritis in only one joint, often the toe, ankle, or knee.
How Is Gout Treated?
With proper treatment, most people who have gout are able to control their symptoms and live productive lives. Gout can be treated with one or a combination of therapies. The goals of treatment are to ease the pain associated with acute attacks, to prevent future attacks, and to avoid the formation of tophi and kidney stones. Successful treatment can reduce discomfort caused by the symptoms of gout, as well as long-term damage to the affected joints. Treatment will help to prevent disability due to gout.
The most common treatments for an acute attack of gout are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)2 taken orally (by mouth), or corticosteroids, which are taken orally or injected into the affected joint. NSAIDs reduce the inflammation caused by deposits of uric acid crystals, but have no effect on the amount of uric acid in the body.
2Warning: NSAIDs can cause stomach irritation or, less often, they can affect kidney function. The longer a person uses NSAIDs, the more likely he or she is to have side effects, ranging from mild to serious. Many other drugs cannot be taken when a patient is being treated with NSAIDs because NSAIDs alter the way the body uses or eliminates these other drugs. Check with your health care provider or pharmacist before you take NSAIDs. Also, NSAIDs sometimes are associated with serious gastrointestinal problems, including ulcers, bleeding, and perforation of the stomach or intestine. People age 65 and older and those with any history of ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding should use NSAIDs with caution.
Corticosteroids are strong anti-inflammatory hormones. The most commonly prescribed corticosteroid is prednisone. Patients often begin to improve within a few hours of treatment with a corticosteroid, and the attack usually goes away completely within a week or so.
When NSAIDs or corticosteroids do not control symptoms, the doctor may consider using colchicine. This drug is most effective when taken within the first 12 hours of an acute attack.
For some patients, the doctor may prescribe either NSAIDs or oral colchicine in small daily doses to prevent future attacks. The doctor also may consider prescribing other medicines to treat hyperuricemia and reduce the frequency of sudden attacks and the development of tophi.
People who have other medical problems, such as high blood pressure or high blood triglycerides (fats), may find that the drugs they take for those conditions can also be useful for gout.
The doctor may also recommend losing weight, for those who are overweight; limiting alcohol consumption; and avoiding or limiting high-purine foods, which can increase uric acid levels.
What Can People With Gout Do to Stay Healthy?
Fortunately, gout can be controlled. People with gout can decrease the severity of attacks and reduce their risk of future attacks by taking their medications as prescribed. Acute gout is best controlled if medications are taken at the first sign of pain or inflammation. Other steps you can take to stay healthy and minimize gout's effect on your life include the following:
- Tell your doctor about all the medicines and vitamins you take. He or she can tell you if any of them increase your risk of hyperuricemia.
- Plan followup visits with your doctor to evaluate your progress.
- Drink plenty of nonalcoholic fluids, especially water. Nonalcoholic fluids help remove uric acid from the body. Alcohol, on the other hand, can raise the levels of uric acid in your blood.
- Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy body weight. Lose weight if you are overweight, but avoid low-carbohydrate diets that are designed for quick weight loss. When carbohydrate intake is insufficient, your body can't completely burn its own fat. As a consequence, substances called ketones form and are released into the bloodstream, resulting in a condition called ketosis. After a short time, ketosis can increase the level of uric acid in your blood.
- Avoid foods that are high in purines.
High-Purine Foods
- anchovies
- asparagus
- beef kidneys
- brains
- dried beans and peas
- game meats
- gravy
- herring
- liver
- mackerel
- mushrooms
- sardines
- scallops
- sweetbreads
Research Highlights
Because uric acid's role in gout is well understood and medications to ease attacks and reduce the risk or severity of future attacks are widely available, gout is one of the most—if not the most—controllable forms of arthritis. But researchers continue to make advances that help people live with gout. Perhaps someday these advances will prevent this extremely painful disease.
Some areas of gout research include the following:
- Refining current treatments. Although many medications are available to treat gout, doctors are trying to determine which of the treatments are most effective and at which dosages. Recent studies have compared the effectiveness of different NSAIDs in treating the pain and inflammation of gout and have looked at the optimal dosages of other treatments to control and/or prevent painful attacks.
- Evaluating new therapies. A number of new therapies have shown promise in recent studies including biologic agents that block a chemical called tumor necrosis factor. This chemical is believed to play a role in the inflammation of gout.
- Discovering the role of foods. Gout is the one form of arthritis for which there is proof that specific foods worsen the symptoms. Now, research is suggesting that certain foods may also prevent gout. In one study scientists found that a high intake of low-fat dairy products reduces the risk of gout in men by half. The reason for this protective effect is not yet known. Another study examining the effects of vitamin C on uric acid suggests that it may be beneficial in the prevention and management of gout and other diseases that are associated with uric acid production.
- Searching for new treatment approaches. Scientists are also studying the contributions of different types of cells that participate in both the acute and chronic joint manifestations of gout. The specific goals of this research are to better understand how urate crystals activate white blood cells called neutrophils, leading to acute gout attacks; how urate crystals affect the immune system, leading to chronic gout; and how urate crystals interact with bone cells in a way that causes debilitating bone lesions among people with chronic gout. The hope is that a better understanding of the various inflammatory reactions that occur in gout will provide innovative clues for treatment.
- Examining how genetics and environmental factors can affect hyperuricemia. Researchers are studying different populations in which gout is prevalent to determine how certain genes and environmental factors may affect blood levels of uric acid, which can leak out and crystallize in the joint, leading to gout.

Key Words
Corticosteroids. Powerful anti-inflammatory hormones made naturally in the body or man-made for use as medicine. Injections of corticosteroid drugs are sometimes used to treat inflammation in the shoulder, knee, and other joints.
Diuretics. A type of medication that promotes the formation and output of urine. Diuretics are prescribed to treat the accumulation of excess fluid in bodily tissues that can result from diseases of the kidneys, liver, lungs, or heart. They may also be used to treat high blood pressure or glaucoma, a condition in which pressure builds up inside the eye.
Hemolytic anemia. A form of anemia (deficiency of red blood cells) caused by the destruction of the cells rather than the body's inability to produce them in adequate numbers.
Hyperuricemia. The presence of elevated levels of uric acid in the blood.
Hypothyroidism. A condition in which the thyroid gland (the gland that makes and stores hormones that regulate heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and the rate at which food is converted to energy) is underactive. Without treatment, this condition can result in fatigue, weight gain, other serious medical problems, and even death.
NSAIDs. A class of medications, available over the counter or with a prescription, that ease pain and inflammation.
Podagra. Gout in the big toe.
Pseudogout. A condition often mistaken for gout that results from the deposit of calcium phosphate crystals (not uric acid crystals as in gout) in the joints and other tissues. This condition is also called chondrocalcinosis.
Psoriasis. An autoimmune disease characterized by a red scaly rash that is often located over the surfaces of the elbows, knees, and scalp, and around or in the ears, navel, genitals, or buttocks. Approximately 10 to 15 percent of people with psoriasis develop an associated arthritis referred to as psoriatic arthritis.

40 Days for Life
40 Days for Life is a Christian pro-life advocacy campaign that works to save lives by raising community awareness and helping mothers in crisis pregnancy choose life.
40 Days for Life began as a local campaign in Texas in 2004 and has since spread to 307 cities across all 50 American states and seven other countries, mobilizing over 350,000 people and saving the lives of more than 2,100 babies.
We focus on providing compassion and support to mothers and their babies, and take a supportive, hope-filled, affirming approach to a topic that is frequently viewed as controversial and confrontational.
To get a feel for our efforts, and the tone and approach we use, please visit http://www.40daysforlife.com
This flyer template will primarily target a faith-based (Christian) audience, and will be posted in thousands of churches across America and worldwide -- likely seen in churches more than any other location.
There are many ages of people involved in our efforts (from young adults to elderly), so we usually try to make our materials applicable across a wide range of ages.
Our audience has responded very well in the past to compelling photographic imagery enhanced by professional design elements.
Due to the fact that we work with people across many ethnic backgrounds, we would really like the flyer to either be multi-ethnic, or as ethnic-neutral as possible.
Ideally, the imagery should focus on mother and baby, and should be very modest (i.e. no breastfeeding pictures, no uncovered pregnant bellies, etc.)
Other possible imagery for the target audience could focus on prayer, and positive, peaceful advocacy.
We need an 8.5" x 11" flyer design TEMPLATE, that our local campaigns can download, insert their own written copy, and print out themselves. Therefore the design must look good in color or black and white via home/office printers, and will rarely be printed via offset press.
In the past we have used a vertical layout with a .5" margin around the edge of document so it would print in the widest range of printers.
The flyer needs strong visual imagery that is visible from a short distance, possibly including royalty-free photography of mother(s) and child(ren) but could also include images conveying prayer or standing up for what is right.
Design must include our 40 Days for Life logo (attached to this design brief in both horizontal and vertical layouts for various design options.)
Also design must include the dates of our upcoming campaign: September 22 - October 31.
There must also be white (or very light color) space to insert copy, roughly 200-300 words of text.
To get an idea of what we're looking for, I would suggest looking at the three previous flyer templates we have designed in-house (attached as Word docs.)
And here is an example of a great design that I like: http://www.stocklayouts.com/Templat…70701.aspx
I know a great designer can do better than we have done in the past, especially knowing that this design will be seen widely, and that we will be working on other design projects soon.
Final output should be in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator format.

The Grand Prix of Baltimore was IndyCar points leader Will Power's chance to wrap up his first title on a street course, the kind of race track that is his forte. He couldn't do it. Now he has to go to Fontana, Calif., to a 500-mile race on an oval. The mere thought of it is enough to make Michael Andretti, who owns the car driven by Power's main foe, Ryan Hunter-Reay, just a little bit cocky.
"We're going to win this thing," Andretti said as soon as Sunday's Grand Prix was over and his driver, Hunter-Reay, had won the Baltimore race and closed within 17 points of Power.
Later, Andretti would elaborate. He pointed out that Hunter-Reay is a multi-talented driver who has had success on every kind of race track — road course, street course and oval. And that Power has not.
In fact, Power has only one oval victory to his name — a win that came last year at Texas on a 1 ½-mile oval.
Now, to wrap up his first title after two near-misses in the previous two years, Power must finish at least fourth on the 2-mile, D-shaped oval outside of Los Angeles.
Has he ever raced at the California track?
"No," Power said.
Not driven a lap?
"Never. No."
Andretti, who thought that was the case before Power said it, smiled as he considered the new situation.
"I think we've got them worried and we should have them worried, if he's not," Andretti said. "I think we are really looking forward to it. We did exactly what we needed to do [in Baltimore]."
On Sunday, Power could have clinched the championship and Hunter-Reay, whose team qualified badly, putting him back in the pack in 10th place for the start, gave him every chance.
But Andretti made the right call when rain started to fall in the early part of the race. He kept Hunter-Reay on slicks, the tread-less tires Indy cars use on dry pavement, while Power and his Team Penske crew debated too long over their strategy and then made what turned out to be the wrong call.
When it got down to crunch time, Hunter-Reay was in position to make a bold — if controversial — dash to the lead on a restart on lap 170 of the 175-mile race, and won.
Power finished sixth and saw his 37-point lead cut by 20.
To win the title, he must finish fourth at Fontana on Sept. 15.
Still, Power was seeing the positives after Sunday's race and even managed to have a little fun when he saw Hunter-Reay.
"It's all good," he said. "We have a 17-point lead. We would have been happy to take that at the start of the season. And yeah, it's going to be interesting, a 500-mile race. But it's actually not bad. Good news is, if I take Hunter-Reay out in the last race, we crash out together, I win.
"So let's go side-by-side," Power continued, as he saw Hunter-Reay, and then congratulated him on his win. "Good job, man. I had a feeling you would come back."
This is the seventh straight year the series points race has come down to the final race. Power has been involved in three of those, counting this season. In 2010, he entered the final with an 11-point lead, but crashed out and saw Dario Franchitti collect the crown by five points.
Last season, he was leading by 11 points going into the next-to-last race in Kentucky, was caught up in an accident and went into the final race of the season at Las Vegas 18 points behind. That 18-point margin stood for Franchitti's fourth championship crown when a crash on lap 11 at Las Vegas resulted in the death of Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon. The race was stopped and the points race frozen from the previous race.
"Maybe [the Fontana] race will be the first last race that I finish, because every year I get crashed out," Power said. "So I'm determined this time to just finish the last race and finish it as the leader of the championship.
"We'll have two tests [at Fontana] before the race. We'll get to understand."
Unlike in past years, when Power's main foe was Franchitti, a man vastly experienced in championship races, this season in Hunter-Reay he has an opponent who is a 10-year veteran is but experiencing his first championship run.
Both Power and Hunter-Reay have had similar seasons, with each winning three races back-to-back-to-back and also suffering major disappointments. Hunter-Reay's latest setback came at Sonoma, Calif., last week, when he was involved in a crash in the closing laps. For Power, this week in Baltimore saw his potentially winning car denied by circumstances for the third week in a row.
"Will and I were talking about it the other day, the bad luck I've had the past couple of races. This guy knows the bad luck, too," Hunter-Reay said. "It's tough, but that's the way racing is."
Said Power: "We both understand the bad luck thing. It can be so cruel; what happened to him last week, to me last year in Kentucky, that sort of thing. But that's racing.
"The guy who has the least amount of those sort of days wins the championship"

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin has called U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry a liar for denying that al-Qaida was fighting with the Syrian opposition in that country's civil war.
Speaking Wednesday to his human rights council, Putin recalled watching a congressional debate where Kerry was asked about al-Qaida and denied that it was operating in Syria, even though he was aware of the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra group.
Putin said: "This was very unpleasant and surprising for me. We talk to them (the Americans) and we assume they are decent people, but he is lying and he knows that he is lying. This is sad."
Putin repeated Russia's position that any use of military force against Syria without the approval of the U.N. Security Council would be an act of aggression.

I left the land of volvo wagons with 'no war' stickers on them and headed to the magical land of crimethinc and indy rock (also known as Olympia). I left Seattle super duper early cause I know the sun is down by 5pm these days and after that it is mighty cold. In PA I switched my 0 degree sleeping bag for my 32 degree '3-season' bag and my big hiking boots for some skate shoes to save some weight/space. I am estimating that my bike and trailer weigh at least 100 pounds (compared to the summer trip with road bike and panniers and a total of about 75 pounds) so every pound makes a difference in my mind. Will I be freezing at night? Probably. I had sunny, but cold weather and my route was outside of most traffic. I did have to do a stunt of 8 miles on the interstate which is never fun, but never as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
This is the end of my second day in Olympia. Its just like I had hoped; full of local co-ops, bookstores, coffee shops, etc. I bought a new chain at a worker-owned bike shop, hopefully in time to save my cassette from being worn out. Lots of chillin with some friends who I had the pleasure of putting up in LA a couple of months ago. This trip is so different from trips of the past where I camped almost every night and saw very little of anyone I knew. This trip is mainly just to hang out, but I am riding my bike in between cities. Even when I get to Portland I will not of ridden more than 3 days in a row!
That does make it more difficult to get into the rhythm of riding though. I am looking forward to that. Also I am looking forward to the time alone. This trip has been difficult for me in some ways. I feel as though, for the first time in my life, I am not content with just being somewhere new. I need more. What is that more? I am not sure. What am I going to do when I get back to LA? I am not sure. I am almost tired of that question. I hate these times when I have to pick a direction. Wait, thats not right, I do not hate them, I am very privileged to have the opportunity to decide the direction of my life. Politics, career, bikes, travel all pull in different directions. How am I suppose to commit to any one when they are all so important? Who knows. Enough diary shit for now, just know I have a lot to think about in the next 3-4 weeks before I arrive back in LA. I leave tomorrow for the two-day ride to Portland, where I will then spend the weekend. I hear it's some sort of bike mecca. We'll see. Email me about grammatical errors, I am being lazy about spell/grammar checking.

Zamuel_a wrote:How do you do the floor and ceiling mapping?
For the floor and ceiling I used a floor mapper routine that works in about the same way as mode 7 on SNES. It's very simple and you can put all divisions and multiplications in look up tables so that you don't need any during runtime. I found one explanation here:
Zamuel_a wrote:About the time when DOOM and Duke 3D were hot I started to make a DOOM engine myself on PC. I didn't finish it, but the technic I used was different from what they used in DOOM. I didn't use a BSP tree but sectors and portals instead. To draw the walls I used a perspective mapper but with one perspective division per line instead of per pixel since you can't look up and down. This is probibly what you already do to.
Zamuel_a wrote:I had different tiles for floors and walls, so when the floor mapper found a wall tile, I didn't draw the floor, but instead a wall strip like in Wolfenstein. The end result is a wolfenstein engine with floors and ceilings that are quite fast. Had been interessting to try this on Atari to see how fast it would be. Maybe even an ST could handle it. You don't need a raycast engine and aslong you can draw 320x100 pixels (or maybe 160x50 with c2p) with a decent framerate, then this could work. The ceiling could be a copy of the floor with a different palette to speed things up.

Yes there's no need for 'raycasting' as such. Bad Mood doesn't really raycast either

I haven't looked into the Doom source code, but I can't think that it is a raycasting engine, but instead a "real" 3d engine, except that they don't calculate everything in all axis. Doing a pixel precise raycaster would be very slow I think.

check back next month!
Every month, I'll write a post of all the books that I didn't get a chance to read/review, and you can choose which you'd like to review ON THIS BLOG.
I will send you the book, and you have . . . let's say . . . a month, to read it and write a review that we can post on Reading Teen. If you write it, then you get to keep the book, if you don't then you have to send it back (I actually have no way of enforcing this, but I thought it might be motivation for you).
Here are the books up for grabs:
(Since I didn't have many July books left, some of these are August. Also, I started DROWNED, and didn't end up finishing it, but it got a little wet, so the pages are a little crinkled.)
As far as the review goes, I'm not particular about how you choose to write it. BE YOURSELF! Be serious, be funny, use gifs if you want. Just keep it clean :D If you can't stand the book, don't force it, just let me know! And if you want to mention the content (profanity, sexual content, violence, triggers etc.) that would be an awesome bonus, but not required. Feel free to add links to your blog (good exposure!) or add the review to your goodreads as well!
Sadly, I need to keep this US only (unless you're up for paying shipping. Sorry Canada, I spent as much shipping two books as I did the entire US lot, :'( so I have to stick to Media Mail).
Let me know what you think of this idea, and if there's a book you want. Email me at Andye @ Readingteen.net and go ahead and include your mailing address, so we don't have to keep going back and forth, I can just say "yes" or "it's taken."
Thanks guys! This has been an awesome experience! I've really enjoyed chatting with so many of you, and it makes my heart happy that these books are getting reviewed instead of sitting on my shelf!

March 12, 2018
Atlas Copco's Portable Energy division is preparing to launch a new generation of on-site solutions for construction, mining, drilling and quarrying industries worldwide. The new additions to Atlas Copco's portable portfolio demonstrate a forward-thinking approach to product design, anticipating customers' need for continuous improvement in speed, reliability and efficiency.
One of the most highly anticipated launches of 2016, the 8 Series compressor range incorporates the latest advances in air element design and delivers improved efficiency. The 8 Series compressors, with an updated HardHat canopy, break new ground in producing air at a rate of up to 5m3 per minute, while remaining compact and lightweight. Every model in the range weighs below 750kg, including a full-size fuel tank, generator and aftercooler, allowing them to be towed behind a normal passenger car without a special driving license. The new range uses 12% less fuel than comparable products and only requires less than an hour's total service time over two years of operation.
Successfully launched in 2015, the QES range will be expanded in May 2016. Initially offering six power nodes, 9 to 40 kVA with Kubota engines, the range will be bolstered with six new models from 60 to 200 kVA featuring John Deere engines. The QES range is the straightforward, rugged and durable solution for general applications across construction environments.
The WEDA range of electrical submersible pumps can manage from 225 to 20,200 litres per minute with a maximum head of 85m. May 2016 will see two new models added to the range. The new 50 and 60 models deliver enhanced performance, thanks to new hydraulic parts, and improved power to weight ratios, thanks largely to a new motor design.
The versatile XAT(V)S 186 range is comprised of two models featuring an intuitive PACE system (Pressure Adjusted through Cognitive Electronics), which enables multiple pressure and flow settings to help users match air flow and pressure to their application needs, without needing multiple compressor units. The highly-regarded Atlas Copco air element and John Deere stage IV engine, coupled with the PACE system, ensure higher efficiency, longer service intervals, unmatched reliability, increased lifetime and lower cost of ownership. Operators using multiple machines to cover flow demands up to 11m3/min and pressures from 7 to 14 bar now need only one compressor.
Following the latest addition to Atlas Copco's complete range of light tower solutions, the V4 and V5+, the entire fleet of light towers has been rebranded as the HiLight range. The range offers the industry's widest choice for a number of applications, including construction, outdoor events and industrial markets. A single light tower, dependent on the model, can illuminate an area of up to 5,000m2 , have a run time between refuelling of 260 hours and consume less than 0.5 litres of fuel per hour. In the next two months, Atlas Copco will launch two new models: the E3+ and H5+. Both are LED models and will take the complete HiLight range to seven models, four of which are LED.
The XATS 900E electric portable compressor combines smart engineering, proven technology and quality components. Suitable for sites with a ready supply of power, the XATS 900E is easy to install as it requires no additional foundations. The corrosion-resistant canopy of the compressor is designed for use in all weather conditions, without the need for additional rooms and enclosures. The XATS 900E delivers compressed air from 7 to 10 bar (100 to 150 psi) with a flow of up to 25 m3/min (900 cfm).
For sites with variable power needs, Atlas Copco is set to launch the QAC 1100 TwinPower generator. Comprised of two 500kVA generators inside a single container, the QAC 1100 is a fully-engineered package with an advanced control system that enables the two generators to work independently or in parallel with each other. It enables operators to use up to one megawatt of power at anywhere between full load and low load, maximising fuel efficiency and cutting associated running costs.
Following the acquisition of Italy-based pump manufacturer Varisco in January 2016, Atlas Copco is expanding its range of dewatering pumps. The pumps are typically used to remove unwanted water or other fluids in the construction, mining, and oil and gas industries. Varisco's Padua location has now become the dedicated global competence centre for pump development within Atlas Copco's Portable Energy division. A complete new range of dewatering solutions will be launched under the Atlas Copco brand in 2016.
In January 2016, Atlas Copco extended the power range of its popular QAS series of generators with the addition of the QAS 630. By incorporating the compact frame of the QAS 500, the QAS 630 can generate 20% more power without needing a larger footprint. The expanded QAS generator series provides complete, compact and fuel-efficient solutions from 14 to 630 kVA, making this series the preferred choice for a wide range of applications throughout the world.
Also launched in January were the HiLight V4 and V5+ light towers, which include a HardHat canopy to ensure tough protection of internal parts. The HiLight V4 is a metal-halide option. The HiLight V5+ is a premium model incorporating the latest LED lighting technology. It offers major fuel savings when compared to the typical fuel consumption of most metal halide solutions, creating industry-leading competitive advantage.
In the drilling sector, Atlas Copco announced two major launches in the second half of 2015. The DrillAir Y35 portable compressor can drill two 4.5" geothermal wells in a single day, with high penetration rates that significantly reduce the fuel cost per metre drilled. Specifically designed for geothermal drilling applications, the DrillAir Y35 offers significant increases in drilling rates, fuel efficiency and reliability thanks to its 35 bar pressure and 34.8 m3/min (580 l/s) flow. Following the Y35 launch, Atlas Copco further expanded its DrillAir range with a new compressor designed to meet the demands of the geothermal drilling industry. The DrillAir X28 provides improved versatility and drilling speed, enabling users to drill two 200 meter holes in a single day at 30 bar of pressure.

Starting a web niche blog was always a project Sam and I put aside because of client work with Cazzu Media. Now finally during our Winter Break from the lovely UHartford we got a chance to get one up and running.
The original plan was to name the blog Build the Internet, but the domain was taken so we ended up with the much shorter Build Internet. Looking back now, I'm not disappointed with the name change.

What's your pitch? Every job starts with one. It may have been a simple "I can do that for you" or a lengthy discussion leading to a proposal, but something is done that convinces a client to work with you. But are you leaving out the an important part? Every web designer can pitch a price and service, but how many take the time to pitch the Internet itself?

I'll Have Another trains early to avoid the rain
Team O'Neill visits Baltimore Ravens at training center
With rain starting to fall Monday morning, trainer Doug O'Neill called an audible and sent the Kentucky Derby winner out for his daily exercise at 6:45 a.m. instead of 8:30 a.m.
"We sent one horse out at 6:30 and the track was great," O'Neill said. "It just started sprinkling and everyone's iPhone was saying 'rain's coming.' We didn't want to get caught up in a sloppy track or a wet track, so we took him out. Turned out that we could have waited, but we didn't know."
Under his regular exercise rider, Jonny Garcia, the colt had his standard piece of exercise, a half-mile jog followed by a strong gallop for six to eight furlongs.
O'Neill believes in a strong galloping program to keep his horses fit for racing. I'll Have Another has flourished in that system and has won his three starts, all graded stakes, this year.
"Most of his works were by himself and all well within himself," O'Neill said. "He's just a horse that gives 110 percent in all his exercise, so he is able to keep himself fit and ready."
O'Neill and members of his staff were guests of the Baltimore Ravens at the NFL team's training center in Owings Mills on Sunday. They watched a session of the rookie camp and had lunch with Ravens head coach John Harbaugh.
"We talked about horses; his wife loves to ride," O'Neill said. "A lot of what we talked about was his love for the horses and our love for football. It was a great time and he treated us like we all knew each other for years, and yet we had just met."
Team O'Neill also met Ravens' general manager Ozzie Newsome, assistant coaches and coordinators.
"It was fun. What a first-class setting," O'Neill said. "That will definitely be one of the top things that we have experienced here in Baltimore."

One way to give your group writing project credibility and generate some extra buzz is with a nice official logo that participants will want to show off. Here's a list of the most interesting logos from group writing projects that took place before Group Writing Projects was launched in February 2008. Enjoy!
The logos are in no specific order.
1. Announcing the Lists Group Writing Project
This well-designed logo definitely had a hand in the success of Luciano Passuelo's Lists group writing project over on Litemind. The notepad ties in perfectly with the theme, the image has matching colors, the name of the group writing project is easy to read. I participated in this gwp with 150 Funniest Resume Mistakes, Bloopers and Blunders Ever.
2. Spread the Love NOW! Group Writing Project
Although a bit small, this logo ties in nicely with the theme of the project. A pair of hands holding a heart is a great visual for spreading love. I participated in this gwp with How to be a Compassionate Job Seeker.
3.What I Learned From…Group Writing Project
Yes, believe it or not, Robert Hruzek's WILF group writing projects have been around for quite some time. This is a fun logo that captures the essence of those gwps with its playfulness and numerous symbols of wisdom and learning. I was in the WILF Work gwp with What I Learned From Homer Simpson About Jobs.
4. 31 Days to Building a Better Blog – 2007
Although Darren Rowse's gwps are always successes – good themes, enough subscribers for anything to be popular – the logos are less so. This is arguably the best logo Darren has used to date. Although the image is too large in size and weight (almost 100K), the uber-hammer is a good symbol for the building ideas that the project covered.
Although this logo is very simple, the look on her face is perfect disgust for matching with anyone's pet peeves, which of course is the theme of the Peeve Week group writing projects.
6. Group Writing Project: If I Knew Then What I Know Now
This group writing project was about people's preconceptions before moving to China. The logo depicts the Communist-red country in a spotlight, and the sinister colors and text fit the mood of the gwp. Great job.
7. Something Good Group Writing Project (With Prizes)
A simple logo for a simple group writing project where the idea was to share goodness with others. Although a bit rough around the edges, the earthy smiles and flowers of this logo match the mood that creator Lorna Doone wanted. I entered this gwp with 5 Reasons to Volunteer Your Way to Your Next Job.
8. Minimalism in Photography: a Group Writing/Imaging Project
A mostly-empty photo where it's almost as if the depicted lighter is illuminating the title. It's almost too minimalist. Perfect choice.
9. Wish: A Group Writing Project
Although somewhat rough, the cartoon dreamers communicate the project's theme clearly. Only something with a genie bottle could have been better.
10. Group Writing Project: Time Management
It's easy to tell that this one was done by a professional designer, none other than project creator Vivien of InspirationBit. The flying clocks suggest the chaos that wastes time and the need to tame it, to manage it. And of course, anything green is synonymous with reducing waste to a minimum. I entered this gwp with Supercharge Your Job Search by Saving Time.
11. Group Project: Source Of Inspiration
Another beauty by Vivien of InspirationBit. Literally showing a water source as a source of inspiration, the water bubbling over like the feeling when you're truly inspired. I had fun participating with 5 People Who Inspired the Creation of JobMob.
This list is part of Designer Daily's Design You Love Group Writing Project that I announced right here on Group Writing Projects.

| 10.1°C Belfast
Bradley Cooper and Harry Styles were among the stars in the front row for the Burberry show at London Fashion Week.
Model of the moment Cara Delevingne paraded the catwalk with a rug slung over her shoulder with her initials CJD printed on it.
Hollywood star Bradley was there to support girlfriend Suki Waterhouse who was among the models strutting the catwalk along with Cara. The show was backed with live music from artists including Paloma Faith
Other celebrity guests watching Chistopher Bailey's Autumn/Winter 2014 collection - which featured sheer lace mixed with heavy woollen blankets patterned with tribal prints and country florals - included Twilight star Jamie Campbell Bower and Bond girl Naomie Harris.
Model and actor Jamie - wearing a Burberry camel coat and sweater with London skyline on it - said he felt he owed a lot to the designer for taking a risk on his grungy look in their campaign.
The 25-year-old said: "I owe a lot to Christopher, and I owe a lot to the brand. They made a bold call even putting me in the campaign, letting me keep my nose ring in and using my tattoos, and I think that's dope. I do owe them, I do."
Speaking about Bailey's transformation of the classic British brand into a modern must-have, Jamie said: "I think what Christopher's always done, he's always made a progression every season. When he started at Burberry the checks, which he's still got now, they were synonymous with Burberry but it was a different image.
"And he's managed to keep those things we know as Burberry but also get sexy and fruity with it."
Skyfall's Naomie Harris was also there to support Bailey.
She said: "I love Christopher, I love his designs. And he's not just a great designer but also a lovely human being as well and he supported our film Mandela: Long Walk to Freeodm as well so we have a great relationship with him and the brand, so that's why I wanted to be here."
The actress - who attended the Bafta awards - admitted getting dressed up for red carpet events and fashion week parties could be daunting, so she relied on building a relationship with designers.
She said: "I just love all the glamour, it's so beautiful.
"But it is really overwhelming, and that's why you need relationships with great brands like this because then they kit you out and send you lots of gorgeous dresses."

Bubble Tea shops are popping up all over the Chinatown in NYC. I understand bubble Tea drink was invented in Taiwan and now it's spread all over the world..Whenever we visit Chinatown,Mishu and hubby always requested Bubble Tea if I said I'm going to get coffee from Chinese coffee shop.On our last visit at Flushing hubby asked for 2 glasses of Bubble Tea without the pearl.He dislike the pearl ,only want the drink..The price for a glass bubble tea is not cheap at all.Some store sell at $3.95 per glass and some store sell at $4.25!! One thing is for certain this drink is addictive.
Bubble Tea drinks are usually cool, refreshing, and a sweet drink with tapioca pearls sitting on the bottom of a clear cup. Sometimes the drink is made with fresh fruits, milk, and crushed ice to create a healthy milk shake. You can also find drinks that are made of powdered flavoring, creamer, water, and crushed ice. And if you like it like the Asians do, the cool drink usually includes a healthy tea, infused by a flavoring. When we was vacation in Montreal,I visited a Asian store in Chinatown.Saw bubble tea material on the store rack.Of course I have to get it!! I wonder if I make my own bubble tea at home would it's the same taste as we bought in the store.Well,the answer is I can open my own Bubble Tea shop now!!!haha!! Hubby said it's good!! if you're Bubble Tea lover,to save $$$ just make your own bubble tea at home!! Viola!!!
Ingredients:(my own creation/version)

I can't decide what the worst part of this guy's plan was- stealing a commercial cab, or lashing another one behind it with a rope and heading down the highway. None of that went well.
It doesn't look like he gave any thought whatsoever as to how the second truck would behave as a "trailer," and he lost control of his setup in front of somebody's dash cam.
Australian TV channel 9News dug up some great videos of the highway hijinks Aussie truckers get up to. It might err on the side of sensationalism, but it sure looks like "truckies," as they're known Down Under, have a reputation for mischief.
This clip was the gem of their report; it seems the owner of the truck doing the towing here claims the vehicle was stolen. 9News says the thief was arrested and now faces dangerous driving charges on top of vehicle theft.
Hat tip to Sauer Warwick!

I love my family but I hate long car rides with them.
Not only do I get headaches easily but I also get carsick (motion sickness) very easily. I still can't get on a boat without feeling nauseous!
We've decided to take a road trip to my husbands aunts house for Thanksgiving this year and I am already freaking out. Of course my husband thinks it's hilarious and has been taunting me the whole day. His solution is to take a sleeping pill and sleep until we get there but I did that last year with horrible results. I took the sleeping pill at 11am, when we started the car ride, and woke up around 1pm. As soon as I walked in the door, I knew I felt a little "off". Of course, I didn't know that the sleeping pill still hadn't worn off. As we sat down to dinner someone handed me a glass of wine and that is literally the last thing I remember. From my husbands account, I had apparently started talking about how I never got over the death of my dog when I was sixteen. Then I laid my head down on my plate of food and fell asleep.
Needless to say, I don't want that to happen again. So I've done my research this year and figured out how to deal with long car rides…
1. Give the kids movies and headphones
One of the big reasons why I get headaches is when my two kids start fighting in the backseat of the car. This year I hooked up two tablets to the front seats and will be giving them headphones to listen to it.
2. Take Bonine
Bonine is a freakin' godsend for traveling. I swear it cures my motion sickness for a few hours. If you ever do traveling, buy some just incase.
3. Take Valerian Root
The safer alternative to a sleeping pill, Valerian root is all natural. It doesn't make you fall asleep bot rather "promotes" relaxation which can put you to sleep. I have tried it before and was very happy with the results.
4. Listed To A Book On Tape
I have been getting behind on my reading and since I will be in a car for a few hours I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to catch up. However, since I get bad motion sickness, I don't want to risk it. That is why I decided to buy the same book I was reading but the audio version. This way I can skip up to the point I was at and finish up the book!

The Jasper District Celebrates 75 years of Service from its Current Post Location
Jasper: This year the Indiana State Police celebrates 80 years of service to the citizens of the State of Indiana. However today marks a special milestone for the Jasper Post, it was 75 years ago today that the Jasper Post opened its doors at its current location.
The original Jasper Post was located in a red brick building at the NE corner of 9th and Bartlett Streets (the Providence Home) in Jasper. During this time dispatching was done by AM radio only. The troopers could hear the post in their cars, but could not transmit back to the post.
On October 8, 1935 the State of Indiana leased land from the City of Jasper one mile north of the city limits on State Highways 45-56 (now US 231) to build a new radio station/barracks. The radio station/barracks design would represent the most modern type of crime-fighting facilities. On the first floor, the radio room would be equipped with a teletype which was tied in with similar machines in thirty four other cities in Indiana. There was also a new wireless transmitter and receiver for inter-state communication. Also on the first floor was a clerk's office, his personal quarters, a receiving room, an arsenal which was fireproof and raid-proof and a large garage. In the basement there was a well equipped photographic darkroom and laboratory, a workshop, a lockup for evidence collected in criminal cases, and a pistol range. A dormitory with locker and shower accommodations was located on the second floor, capable of housing ten officers. The division lieutenant and the post sergeant had individual quarters. A large lounging and recreational room was provided and opened on a second floor roof veranda.
On February 15, 1938, after three years of planning and construction, the process of moving the Jasper Post from the Providence Home to its current location at US 231 and Schuetter Rd. began. Jasper Post #8 opened for business with Don Franklin as the Division Lieutenant of both the Jasper and Putnamville Posts. Sgt. Hubert Day was the first commanding officer at the Jasper Post. He was assisted by Traffic Sergeant James Watts and Traffic Corporal Gilbert Behrick. The district also had two detectives E.E. Mullins and Doyle Skelton along with 18 road troopers and three radio operators. The post covered 14 counties in SW Indiana, Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Gibson, Knox, Lawrence, Martin, Orange, Perry, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh, and Warrick.
The Jasper District (now District 34) covers seven counties in southwestern Indiana that includes Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Martin, Orange, Perry and Spencer Counties. Although many changes (mostly interior) to the building have been made, the Jasper Post still operates from the barracks that opened in 1938. Even though the troopers and clerk no longer live at the post there are 27 troopers, six detectives, a detective sergeant, three squad sergeants, one first sergeant, one lieutenant and 4 civilian personnel that call the Jasper Post "home".
"The Jasper Post is a special place," said Superintendent Doug Carter. "The building is rich in tradition and history and the troopers currently assigned to the post are like those from the past; filled with integrity, loyal to their profession, and they take pride in serving the communities and citizens in the Jasper District."
