Questo è un topic che ho letto su un forum di Atlantica, non potevo non quotare, credo tutti i giocatori di Atlantica dovrebbero dargli un'occhiata.
B-Joe - 1/21/2010 6:45 PM
I see three main reasons that people are angry about the new fishing event:
1. Lack of communication / misinformation
2. Stupidity - either the developers did not run the numbers on the economics of the event, or they did not expect the players to do any analysis which would discover how idiotic using silver bait is.
3. Transparent attempt at market manipulation
a. Raise prices of item mall stuff (atlas ore) by increasing demand.
b. Depress prices of non-item mall stuff to counteract perceived inflation (gilgamesh shards, beating hearts, powders of life/spirit/soul, and anything that is crafted with any of those items.)
Here are the details:
1. Lack of communication / misinformation
12:30AM PST - The servers are back up following the maintenance.
04:00AM PST - The first forum thread appears in Palatino Plaza noting that silver bait is not catching event coupons.
07:50AM PST - Following 45 posts the forum, [GM]Czar reports that he has notified the developers.
08:15AM PST - A player submitted bug report ticket is opened.
09:45AM PST - Another forum thread is started in Sviatki's Main Event.
02:30PM PST - An update is requested on the bug report.
07:30PM PST - After over 11 hours since the bug ticket was opened, [GM]Tesla closes it saying "Silver Baits are not bugged."
10:00PM PST - A news announcement is posted on the web site stating that the silver bait bug issue has already been fixed.
11:00PM PST - An additional 23 posts have appeared in the Palatino Plazo forum thread, 7 posts in the Sviatki thread, and 22 hours have passed since maintenance ended. [GM]Czar reports on the Palatino forum that the bug has been confirmed and "should be fixed sometime tonight."
No in-game announcement was ever made warning players not to use silver bait after the problem was discovered and confirmed. Many players continued to obtain and use silver baits during that time. Players attempted to explain the issue to each other during the communication vacuum.
The GMs and developers did not effectively communicate with each other, leading to false information and significant delays.
There were (at least) three different forums with threads regarding the patch - Community Corner (pre-patch thread with hundreds of posts), Palatino Plaza, and Sviatki's Main Event. Players trying to get any real official info had to sort through a significant pile of unrelated posts to find the true status.
2. Stupidity - either the developers did not run the numbers on the economics of the event, or they did not expect the players to do any analysis which would discover how idiotic using silver bait is.
Since we don't have any official information on catch rates for silver bait from nDoors...
(why not? what's the big secret? why not tell us what we should really expect. we understand the nature of randomness and sample size. where is the harm in telling us what the real % are for fishing or boxes or anything? If we had real information, we could make intelligent decisions with realistic expectations. In the absence of information, I tend to not do stuff --- like buy boxes from item mall!)
...I have to rely on my own experience and the reported experiences of other players, even though it is a low sample size.
Pre-"silver bait bug fix", I used 128 silver bait costing 38,300 fish points and received 10,224 fish points back, for a loss of 73%.
A recent forum post by "kira lia" claims after 1000 silver baits costing 300,000 fish points, 24 coupons and 55,000 were caught resulting in a decrease of 82% in fish points from the start.
kira's 24 coupons cost 245,000 fish points, or about 10,000 fish points per coupon.
My experience is that fish points are worth between 400 and 600 gold each depending on market conditions. This values kira's coupons at between 4,000,000 and 6,000,000 gold each. So, let's use 5mil for our estimation purposes here.
Coupons from gold bait cost about 1/2 of an atlas ore. (The actual cost is likely a little less to account for the rare puppy bag catch, but let's stick with 1/2 atlas for our estimation). Pre-event, atlas ore cost 2,500,000 - 3,500,000 each. So, gold bait values coupons at between 1,250,000 and 1,750,000 each. Let's use 1.5mil for our estimation.
Now I want to compare the implied gold value of event rewards when using silver bait vs gold bait.
-------Item-------|-coupons-|----silver bait-----|-----gold bait ----|
Thoroughbred.......|........32...|......160,000,00 0...|......48,000,000...|
Hackney..............|........45...|......225,000, 000...|......67,500,000...|
Shire...................|......120...|......600,00 0,000...|.....180,000,000...|
Heavanly Horse.....|......170...|......850,000,000...|..... 255,000,000...|
Byz. Elephant.......|.......220...|...1,100,000,000...| .....330,000,000...|
Volcanic Raptor.....|......300...|...1,500,000,000...|..... 450,000,000...|
Snow Tiger...........|......450...|...2,250,000,000...| .....675,000,000...|
Puppy Bag............|...1,000...|...5,000,000,000...|.. .1,500,000,000...|
The first thing I notice is that gold bait values for the reward mounts are close to pre-event market prices for those mounts.
The next, is that using silver bait is a huge rip-off!!!! Even if our estimates are off by 50%, there is no way a thoroughbred is worth 80mil, let alone the calculated 160mil. You are so much better off trading your fish points at pointry for items, selling the items, then buying your mount in cash, or even using that gold to buy atlas ore and use that ore to buy gold bait.
The economics here are so lopsided wrong that either the developers are idiots, or they think we are idiots. With a coupon catch rate of 2.5%, using silver bait is crazy! Proposing that we use silver bait is insulting! It assaults my intelligence!! I am offended!!!
So, what should the catch rate be? If we quadrupled the catch rate to 10%, and subtracted that extra 7.5% from the caught fish points, then from 1000 silver bait we would have about 100 coupons and 50,000 fish points. Then take our initial 300,000 fish points, subtract the 50,000 new fish points caught, to get 250,000 fish points spent to catch 100 coupons, giving 2,500 fish points per coupon. Using our 500 gold per fish point figure gives us 1,250,000 gold per coupon. That figure lines up much better with the gold bait costs, especially if we discount the 1.5mil price because of the catch-a-puppy-bag possibility.
Now, if I give nDoors developers the benefit of the doubt, and assume that they have done the math I just did, and that they are not idiots, then why would they use such a ridiculous catch rate for silver bait? The answer is point #3 below.
3. Transparent attempt at market manipulation
a. Raise prices of item mall stuff (atlas ore) by increasing demand.
b. Depress prices of non-item mall stuff to counteract perceived inflation (gilgamesh shards, beating hearts, powders of life/spirit/soul, and anything that is crafted with any of those items.)
This section is pretty self explaining. This is your game, nDoors. It is your market to control. I can't blame you from trying to maximize your profit. I can't blame you for wanting to "fix" the inflation that some have complained about.
What I resent is that you bothered to include an unviable option to the event, trying to trick us into believing that you included options for both paying and non-paying players to participate in the event. It's a fraud.
If you want to retain your players, here is my advice:
1. Communicate.
a. Let the players know about problems as soon as possible. Use in-game announcements as you have done previously.
b. Use one common location for players and GMs to discuss problems. The multiple forum threads and the lack of updates in them frustrates us. If one GM was taking lead on an issue and has to leave to get sleep, that is understandable. Please hand off the lead to another GM until you get back.
c. GMs should use some method to inform each other about major issues in the game and their status. It is inexcusable for a GM at 7:50AM to acknowledge a bug and another GM to dismiss a bug report on the same issue 12 hours later.
2. Respect.
a. When you receive a bug report, actually investigate whether the bug exists or not. Try and duplicate the problem in the game yourself. Talk to the developers about it. To close a bug report because you were told that it was tested clean before the maintenance window is arrogant and disrespectful.
b. Don't deceive the players by giving them stuff that would be stupid for them to use, like silver bait.
c. Be open and transparent. Let us know stuff like - what could be caught from using silver bait, and what the catch rate is for each item. Include that info with the patch notes. (btw, I really liked how you released those before the maintenance window. That was good. That is transparency. Bravo!)
Thank you to nDoors for reading this, and hopefully implementing some of the suggestions. Thank you to the players who are sure to respond with their opinions on how to improve the gaming experience.

A quick little mathematical exercise on how I plan on getting my puppy bag using silver bait.
A 1,000 silver bait trial resulted in a coupon catch rate of about 2.5%. Using that rate as a starting point for this plan....
To catch 1000 coupons would require 1000/0.025 = 40,000 silver bait.
At 300 fish points each, 40,000 silver bait cost 40,000*300 = 12,000,000 fish points.
I have fishing action level 100, so I can use "best bait" which, in my experience, catches blowfish 65% of the time and shark 35% of the time. I will assume that I get the average reward from albert for blowfish (18 fish points) and sharks (20 fish points). So, my average fish results in (18*0.65)+(20*0.35)=18.7.
To catch 12,000,000 fish points would require 12,000,000/18.7 = 641,711 fish. So, to catch 641,711 fish, I need 641,711 "best bait"
Best bait is crafted by 250 carp + 250 beef + 50 sesame oil = 100 best bait. So, I need 641,711/100 = 6,418 batches of best bait.
....6,418*250 = 1,604,200 carp. Carp costs 300 each, so 1,604,200*300 = 481,350,000 gold
....6,418*250 = 1,604,200 beef. Beef costs 300 each, so 1,604,200*300 = 481,350,000 gold
....6,418*50 = 320,900 sesame oil. Sesame oil costs 500 each, so 320,900*500 = 160,450,000 gold
Total bait cost is 481,350,000+481,350,000+160,450,000 = 1,123,150,000 gold
Lucky me, I happen to have 1.1billion gold in the bank, so I begin crafting my bait.
According to the aop.muwing.com craft calculator, using my autocraft level 100 takes 2 minutes and 53 seconds per batch of best bait. That comes to 173 seconds per batch.
Total craft time will be 6,418*173 = 1,110,314 seconds, or 1,110,314/60 = 18,506 minutes, or 18,506/60 = 308 hours, or 308/24 = 13 days
W00t, so now that I have enough bait, I begin fishing with my unbreakable, 100% catch rate acong rod.
If a fish is caught every 30 seconds, 641,711 fish would be caught in 641,711/2 = 320,856 minutes, or 320,856/60 = 5,348 hours, or 5,348/24 = 222 days.
Cool, so now I have enough fish points to buy the required 40,000 silver bait. Now, I need to fish that silver bait...
40,000 silver bait would be used in 40,000/2 = 20,000 minutes, or 20,000/60 = 333 hours, or 333/24 = 14 days.
Nice, so I've spent 1.1 billion gold in best bait materials, and 13 days crafting best bait, 222 days fishing the best bait, and 14 days fishing the silver bait, for a total of 249 days.
Since I started on the first day of the event, January 19, I should be done by September 25. I am so looking forward to getting my puppy bag on September 25!!! It's gonna be so awesome!

By Evan Minsker on April 22, 2013 at 12:30 p.m.
Thee Oh Sees' music video for "Minotaur" featured some bloodshed, but it was otherwise a pretty lighthearted video. That's not the case with their brutal "Toe Cutter - Thumb Buster" clip. The Floating Coffin cut gets a video that's decidedly darker. It follows a serial killer through one bloody (and cyclical) night.

The closing track from Thee Oh Sees' new album Floating Coffin is "Minotaur". In the track's music video, directed by frontman John Dwyer and John Harlow, the minotaur in question has it pretty rough. He wearily punches the clock, tries to convince the woman he's captured to love him, and just to stay alive, he has to kill a guy. It's tough being a minotaur, you know?

Recently I wrote to the British Broadcasting Standards Commission. Despite being the declared target of Palestinian terror groups, the Commission has concluded that I have no direct interest in the matter. I then contacted the relevant government department and again, nothing.

Dr. Maura L. Gillison (left) delivered her award lecture titled, Clinical Implications of HPV in Head and Neck Cancers, on Wednesday, during the AACR Annual Meeting 2012 in Chicato, IL. Dr. Gillison received her award from AACR immediate Past-President, Dr. Judy E. Garber.
Dr. Maura L. Gillison richly embodies the requirements of this award. Her research involving the biological causes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has transformed the way we think about and treat this disease. Dr. Gillison was the first to define a causal link between human papillomavirus (HPV) and a distinct subset of head and neck cancers. Since this initial finding, her research has further clarified the etiological heterogeneity of head and neck cancers and the impact of this heterogeneity on treatment response and prognosis. Together with colleagues in the cooperative groups, she has demonstrated that tumor HPV status is the single greatest predictor of treatment response and prognosis for head and neck cancer patients. This has led to distinct paths for clinical trial research for HPV-positive HNSCC's compared to HPV-negative HNSCC's.
Gillison's research has also examined the impact of HPV-positive disease at the population level and has identified a rapid increase in incidence for HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers, which appear to be especially prevalent among Caucasians, men and young adults. These findings have thus shifted our understanding of HPV-associated cancers and has sparked debate over whether young boys and men should be routinely vaccinated against the most common types of HPV. Dr. Gillison, in addition to characterizing the relationship between HPV status and cancer susceptibility, has also pioneered and optimized techniques used to detect oral HPV infection and diagnose HPV-positive cancer. These techniques coupled with epidemiological studies have discovered significant associations among sexual activity and behavior, HPV infections, susceptibility to disease, and survival probability in the event of a cancer diagnosis. In addition to her work at The Ohio State University, Dr. Gillison is further contributing to the understanding and evolution of this field by serving as a principle investigator on the first phase III trial of treatment deintensification for patients with HPV-associated oropharynx cancers, with a goal of maintaining five-year survival rates while reducing the long-term morbidity of therapy.
Dr. Gillison currently serves on the editorial board of several journals including Cancer Prevention Research, Journal of Clinical Oncology, Head and Neck, and Oral Oncology. She is an avid presenter of her research, has participated on numerous advisory boards, organizational committees and grant review panels, and has published over 70 original manuscripts, book chapters, editorials and review articles.

A discussion follows: Andrew Loog Oldham, the Stones' first manager and producer of The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling – Ireland 1965 speaking with celebrated rock guitarist and raconteur Steven Van Zandt.
Starring the original lineup of the band – Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts – The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling - Ireland 1965 is an intimate, behind-the-scenes diary of life on the road with the young Stones that has long been a holy grail of rock fans, surfacing in bits and pieces and tantalizing but frustratingly un-synched fragments. Now in its fully produced and technically updated form, the film boasts both meticulously restored and never before seen footage that features the first professionally filmed concert performances of the band, and captures the early frenzy of their fans and the riots their concerts stirred. The Rolling Stones Charlie is my Darling - Ireland 1965 is the invaluable, unseen story of the band becoming the legend, originally directed by pioneering filmmaker Peter Whitehead and produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. The new 2012 version of the film was directed and restored by director Mick Gochanour and producer Robin Klein, the GRAMMY® Award winning team that brought the classic The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus to the screen.
Andrew Loog Oldham is best known for managing the Rolling Stones from 1963-1967, encouraging Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to write their own material, and producing such global hits for the Stones as (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, The Last Time, Paint It Black and Let's Spend the Night Together. He introduced Marianne Faithfull to the world and co-wrote her first hit, As Tears Go By, and established England's first independent label, Immediate Records, releasing hit recordings by such influential artists as the Small Faces, Rod Stewart, Chris Farlowe and the Nice. Relocating to Colombia in the 1980s, Oldham produced best-sellers for Los Ratones Paranoicos and Charly Garcia while establishing himself as a critically acclaimed author of two autobiographies: Stoned and 2Stoned. Oldham has won a devoted following by way of his program on SiriusXM satellite radio, deejaying the best of classic and contemporary rock 'n' roll for Little Steven's Underground Garage on SiriusXM. He recently completed his third book, Stone Free, to be published by Escargot Books, and a new album by the Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra, The Rolling Stones Songbook Volume 2.
Steven Van Zandt, who recently interviewed the great Dion DeMucci as part of 92Y's Music Icon series, may be the planet's most charismatic, dedicated and visible crusader scrapping to preserve the dirty purity of rock 'n roll. Born in Massachusetts, Van Zandt has earned international praise and recognition for a variety of roles: first, as Bruce Springsteen's long-standing guitarist since the early 1970s, a four-decade run that found his talents shaping such classic albums as Born to Run, The River and Born in the U.S.A. In the 2000s, Van Zandt was cast as consigliere Silvio Dante in the widely popular TV hit The Sopranos, and he launched Little Steven's Underground Garage, a nationally broadcast rock radio show that recently celebrated its 500th broadcast, on which he spins cuts by the likes of the Ramones, Carl Perkins and the Amboy Dukes next to the Black Keys and White Stripes.

Personal Preface
One of the delightful things about travelling in Tamil Nadu is the inexplicable joy of discovering grand art set in stone in remote villages, especially in the temple belt in and around Tiruvannamalai, Chidambaram, Tanjavur, Tiruchinapalli, and Madurai. Apart from the sheer awe, the aesthetics, and the devotion this inspires, it teaches us valuable history lessons if we care to just scratch the surface. And so it was when I discovered a stunning Shiva and Vishnu temple in a remote village near Sivaganga district. The priests at these temples informed me that they were built during the Chola reign. Ironically, this was a Muslim-majority village, which could only mean two things: a bulldozing Muslim invasion in the region followed by sustained Muslim occupation, which changed the character of the place and that such changed character has remained intact till today .
Further investigation revealed that this village was once part of a little-known titbit of history: the Madurai Sultanate. I wasn't too far off the mark: today's Sivaganga is some 65 Kilometres from Madurai.
Decline and End of the Pandyas
Our history begins with the disintegration of the Pandya Empire. The Pandya Empire is among the most famous dynasties to have ruled Tamil Nadu and finds a place of pride with the Cholas, Cheras, and Pallavas. Among other things, the Pandyas were renowned to be great patrons of pretty much all aspects of Sanatana Dharma—dance, art, temple-building, sculpture, music, and literature. A tribute of sorts to the greatness of the Pandya empire is given by Muthuswami Dikshitar, singer, composer, raga-founder, and one of the Carnatic Classical Trinity along with Thyagaraja and Shyama Sastri. In his Meenakshi Memudam Dehi set in Raga Poorvi Kalyani, he describes the Goddess of Madurai, Meenakshi as Malayadhwaja Pandya Raja Tanaye—daughter of the Pandya King.
Maravarman Kulashekara Pandyan I, who presided over the Second Pandyan Empire, is credited with bringing an end to the weakened Chola Empire in 1279 when he dealt a decisive defeat to Rajendra Chola III. His 40-year rule saw the re-consolidation and stabilization of a reawakened Pandyan Empire. These 40 years saw the visits of various travellers including the Persian traveller-historian, Abdulla Wassaf who described the Pandyan country under Kulashekara as "most agreeable abode on earth and the most pleasant quarter of the world." Wassaf mispronounces his name as "Kales Dewar" and says that he ruled for forty years during which time "neither any foreign enemy entered his country, nor any severe malady confined him to bed" and the "treasury of the city of Mardi (Madurai) had 1,200 crores of gold not counting the accumulation of precious stones such as pearls, rubies, turquoises, and emeralds" (SOUTH INDIA AND HER MUHAMMADAN INVADERS, DR. S. KRISHNASWAMY AIYANGAR, PG 96).
Kulashekhara Pandyan I, towards the end of his life began to favour Jatavabrman Vira Pandya, his "illegitimate" son born of a courtesan/mistress over his "legitimate" son, Jatavarman Sundara Pandya. Upon Kulashekhara Pandyan's death in 1308, a fratricidal war broke out between the brothers paving way for what is described in the rest of this account.
The First Muslim Incursion
Hoysala Consolidation in Karnataka
The Hoysala Empire, which came of its own following the disintegration of the Chalukya Empire made huge strides by conquering large territories under Bittideva or Vishnuvardhana, who is regarded as the greatest ruler of that dynasty. After Vishnuvardhana's death in 1152, the Hoysalas lost territory owing to weak successors and powerful enemies. A recovery of sorts was made by Vira Ballala III in 1292 who annexed the territory of his uncle, Ramanatha after the latter's death. This proved to be strategic because Vira Ballala III ruled from three capitals—Dwarasamudra (today's Halebid in Hassan district) in the North/North-West, Kundaani (north frontier of today's Salem district) in the middle, and Kannanur (today's Kandur) in the South.
Politics in Delhi
Meanwhile in Delhi, Jalal-ud-din Khilji who had become the all-powerful Sultan indulged his nephew, Ala-ud-din Khilji to an inordinate extent. And so, when Ala-ud-din Khilji sought the Sultan's permission to conduct a raid in the Dekkan, the senior Khilji blindly gave his assent not realizing that the purpose of this raid. Ala-ud-din Khilji's unquenchable ambition to occupy the seat of Delhi required truckloads of money, which his trusted informers said, was available in plenty in the Dekkan. And so, his maiden raid of Deogiri (Devagiri, today's Daulatabad) in 1296 was hugely successful. After this, he secured victory after victory until he had Jalal-ud-din Khilji murdered, and became the Sultan. However, in his ascent to Sultanhood, Ala-ud-din Khilji spent money like water to buy the loyalty of nobles, courtiers, and the army.
Malik Kafur's Devastation of South India
Somewhere along the line, Ala-ud-din Khilji had taken an extreme fancy for a handsome Hindu youth named Chand Ram, who had been captured in an earlier battle and forcibly converted to Islam, and then castrated. Chand Ram was rechristened Malik Kafur who, thanks to Ala-ud-din Khilji's fondness, quickly rose to become a fierce general. Once on the throne, Ala-ud-din Khilji realized that it took even more money to expand and sustain his empire. His gaze turned again to the Dekkan and the regions beyond it.
Ala-ud-din Khilji despatched Malik Kafur on an expedition to the South. And so, when Kafur reached Devagiri, Ramadeva, the Yadava king who had earlier been subdued by Khilji, readily offered his services. He sent his general, Parasurama Deo as advance party to Dwarasamudra to "render it available for the extermination of rebels and the destruction of Bir [Vira Pandya] and Dhur Samundar [Dwarasamudra]" and "to hold the gates of access to the Bir and Dhur Samundar" (SOUTH INDIA AND HER MUHAMMADAN INVADERS, PG 92), apart from sending a large infantry comprising elephants, horses and soldiers. Malik Kafur was bent upon conquering and subduing the whole of Ma'bar Country (Ma'bar was the name given to the territory occupied by the Cholas and Pandyas, which roughly corresponds to today's Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and parts of Karnataka).
Meanwhile in the South, the battle for the dead Kulashekhara Pandya's throne was in full swing between his sons, Sundara Pandya and Vira Pandya. Vira Ballala III descended upon the Pandyan kingdom to take full advantage of this brotherly feud unaware of the destruction that had begun to happen in his own backyard.
Malik Kafur's march to Dwarasamudra wrought with it large scale devastation and destruction of forests, villages, and entire regions that were under Vira Ballala III's control. When reports of this barbaric march reached him, Vira Ballala III immediately returned to Dwarasamudra. However, it was a trifle too late. He sent negotiators to sue for peace. This, despite the fact that Vira Pandya had already sent his army for Ballala's assistance. Malik Kafur accepted the peace offer on the condition that his object was to convert Vira Ballala III "to Mohammedanism, or of making him Zimmi, or of slaying him" (SOUTH INDIA AND HER MUHAMMADAN INVADERS, PG 93). After much negotiation, Ballala III was spared of conversion but had to surrender all his wealth, horses and elephants.
Once Malik Kafur had secured Ballala III's subservience, he took his assistance to march upon Vira Pandya.
Malik Kafur Returns Empty Handed
When they heard what happened to Vira Ballala III, the warring Pandya brothers united at once. They knew Kafur's force was far superior to their own but put up a courageous fight. They never gave him a direct, open fight. They knew the country intimately and put this knowledge to the best use. They attacked his force stealthily and displayed superior guerrilla warfare taking care never once to fall into his hands. For weeks without end, they harassed Kafur. And then the rains came to hamper Kafur even further.
A thoroughly frustrated Malik Kafur fell upon Chidambaram. His Chidambaram expedition began at night and by morning, he "seized no less than 250 elephants. He then determined on razing the beautiful temple to the ground…you might say that it was the Paradise of Shaddad, which, after being lost, those "hellites" had found, and that it was the golden Lanka of Ram …it was the holy place of the Hindus, which . Malik dug up from its foundations with the greatest care and the heads of the Brahmans and idolaters danced from their necks and fell to the ground at their feet, and blood flowed in torrents. The stone idols called Ling Mahadeo, which had been a long time established…the kick of the horse of Islam had not attempted to break. The Musalmans destroyed all the Lings and Deo Narain fell down, and the other gods who had fixed their seats there raised their feet, and jumped so high, that at one leap they reached Lanka…(words in italics are by Amir Khusru quoted in SOUTH INDIA & HER MUHAMMADAN INVADERS, Pg 99)…They destroyed all the temples and placed the plunder in the public treasury."
The Pandya brothers still couldn't be captured. Ten days after Malik Kafur wrecked Chidambaram, he marched into Mathra (Madura, today's Madurai) and found it empty. He seized the royal elephants and burnt down the temple of Jagnar (Jagannath or Sokkanatha).
Ibn Batuta, the Muslim traveller-cum-chronicler who accompanied Malik Kafur on this devastating journey records in his Ashika that after Chidambaram was completely destroyed, Kafur marched further down into a city named Fattan. Fattan corresponds to the Tamil Pattanam (or Pattinam), which is a generic name denoting a city or town. It was a temple town entrusted to a Brahmin. Ibn Batuta mistook the Brahmin to be a king. This "king" fled when he saw Malik Kafur's destructive march. The distinctive feature of Fattan was a huge temple with an equally huge idol laden with jewels. Malik Kafur seized the horses and elephants and destroyed the idol. This Fattan is today's Rameshwaram.
Contented with his victorious campaign, Malik Kafur turned back and reached Delhi in October 1311.
However, the consequence of Malik Kafur's unstoppable death march was the first definitive carving out of a Muslim state of sorts deep in the South, in Madurai, which reported directly to Delhi for at more than two decades.

Star Trek: First Contact (1996), P1 Concept "Cricket" Phaser (Solid Static)
replica prop weapons
This Is A Replica Of the FC Phaser That never made it On screen.
This concept originally was from a fan made design witch was than acquired by HMS Studios and was submitted along with the FC Boomerang and MK X Tricorder for the Movie. Do to its size it was decided that it was to small to be used on screen and was left out.
I acquired this replica years ago from E-Bay and it had a really poor finish, so I found the time and stripped the old paint, re-painted with a stronger brand, gave it A nice gloss coat and made new graphics for the trigger and
power bar. The graphics where done in Adobe Photoshop and where printed on photo gloss paper. all the text is readable considering the size of the opining is only 1 inch wide.

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge (1987), designed by Eugene Figg and Jean Mueller over Tampa Bay in Florida, has a main prestressed-concrete span of 360 metres (1,200 feet). It too employs a single plane of cables, but these remain in one plane that fans out down the centre of the deck. The Dames Point Bridge (1987), designed by Howard Needles in consultation with Ulrich Finsterwalder, crosses the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. The main span at Dames Point is 390 metres (1,300 feet), with side spans of 200 metres (660 feet). From H-shaped towers of reinforced concrete, two planes of stays in harp formation support reinforced-concrete girders. The towers are carefully shaped to avoid a stiff appearance. The Dames Point Bridge was the longest cable-stayed bridge in the United States for almost two decades until the Arthur Ravenel Bridge was completed in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2005. In 2011 the Arthur Ravenel Bridge in turn was surpassed by the opening of the John James Audubon Bridge, spanning the Mississippi River between Pointe Coupee and West Feliciana parishes, Louisiana. The only bridge over the Mississippi between Natchez, Mississippi, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the John James Audubon Bridge has a main span of 482 metres (1,583 feet).
Japanese long-span bridges
In the 1970s the Japanese, working primarily with steel, began to build a series of long-span bridges using several forms that by the year 2000 included many of the world's longest spans.
Ōsaka Harbour
In 1974 the Minato Bridge, linking the city of Ōsaka with neighbouring Amagasaki, became one of the world's longest-spanning cantilever truss bridges, at 502 metres (1,673 feet). In 1989 two other impressive and innovative bridges were completed for the purpose of carrying major highways over the port facilities of Ōsaka Harbour. The Konohana suspension bridge carries a four-lane highway on a slender, steel box-beam deck only 3 metres (10 feet) deep. The bridge is self-anchored—that is, the deck has been put into horizontal compression, like that on a cable-stayed bridge, so that there is no force of horizontal tension pulling from the ground at the anchorages. Spanning 295 metres (984 feet), it is the first major suspension bridge to use a single cable. The towers are delta-shaped, with diagonal suspenders running from the cable down the centre of the deck. On the same road as the Konohana is the Ajigawa cable-stayed bridge, with a span of 344 metres (1,148 feet) and an elegantly thin deck just over three metres deep.

Giving to Cline Library
Cline Library serves as an interchange for intellectual discovery, connecting our tradition to our future promise. The library is a crucial component to the fulfillment of NAU's mission of teaching, research, service and community outreach. We value the ability to respond to changing needs of the library and its users by developing innovative solutions, practices, and services in a creative work environment that supports flexibility, collaboration, and an openness to new ideas, practices, risk taking, and forward thinking.

Ways of giving:
Monetary Gifts & Funding Priorities | Planned Gifts | Honor with Books and Media Program | Cline Library Wish List | Archival Collections | General Collections: Books & Media | Contact Information
Monetary Gifts in Support of Library Endowments and Initiatives
Your assistance is crucial for the Cline Library to maintain and advance its quality service programs and collections. Monetary gifts to the library have far-reaching impacts. Direct monetary gifts are the most common form of giving and can be unrestricted or designated for a specific fund or project. These gifts are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by law.

You can help ensure the preservation of a legacy of learning for future generations by making a monetary contribution to one or more of the following funds:
Funding Priorities
- Cline Library Innovation Fund
Provide the Library with the flexibility to pursue emerging technologies and seed new projects that have the potential to greatly advance the Library's mission. - Library Fund
Support the achievement of the Library's goals through funding for the materials, initiatives and activities of Cline Library. - Special Collections and Archives
Support access to the Library's Colorado Plateau and University Archives collections through the digitization and preservation of manuscripts, photographs, and historic film footage; the collection, transcription, and digitization of oral history interviews; the acquisition of archival collections and books which trace the history and development of the Colorado Plateau region; and the preparation of public exhibits. Monetary gifts accompanying a collection donation to support on-going care and access are increasingly significant and appreciated.
Other Funds & Endowments
- Hanks Endowment
Support a Cline Library Hanks Scholar to locate and document camera stations of photographs held by Special Collections and Archives, with emphasis on the images in the Colorado Plateau Archives. - Library Book Fund
Provide funding for books in support of the University's curricula, research priorities and mission. - P.T. Reilly Endowment

Subject endowments may be established to acquire materials related to a particular subject area, i.e. biology, literature, history, etc.
Planned Gifts
A planned gift can be structured to fulfill a long-desired philanthropic interest and may also allow you to increase income, save taxes, and make a legacy gift to the library that might not otherwise be possible. For more information on arranged a planned gift to the library, visit NAU's Gift Planning page.
Honor with Books and Media
Celebrate, remember or acknowledge a person, an occasion, or an accomplishment by funding the purchase of a book, CD or DVD for Cline Library's collections. A commemorative label will be affixed to your gift. You may designate a specific subject area if you wish. The subject areas include: Fine Arts, Health, Humanities, Science & Engineering, Social Sciences, Education and Business. Your gift through the Honor with Books and Media Program is tax deductible in accordance with applicable IRS rules. Upon receipt of your gift, Cline Library will send you a letter indicating the title selected containing the commemorative label. You may select the amount of your gift from the following:
- $50 (1 commemorative label)
- $100 (2 commemorative labels)
- $250 (5 commemorative labels)
- $500 (10 commemorative labels)
- $1000 (20 commemorative labels)
Cline Library Resource Wish List
Wish List: Priority Print and Media Resource Titles. This list includes book and media titles that Cline Library is interested in adding to its general and special collections. You may have a copy on your bookshelf that is gathering dust, love shopping at Amazon.com, or you just believe it is important for students and faculty to have access to these resources. See also the Cline Library's Wish List at Amazon.com (click on the "Add to Cart" button next to a title in the list to purchase it for the library).
Gifts of Archival Collections
Most archival collections found at the Cline Library are gifts to Northern Arizona University from people who share an appreciation for the value of regional historical materials as well as an interest in their preservation and public access. All gift materials, whether one item or a thousand, contribute to our understanding of the Colorado Plateau or the history of the University across a multitude of disciplines. For a description of recent gift collections, visit the library's What's New page and select a recent Library Insights newsletter back issue (right column).
The Cline Library always appreciates information about personal, business or organizational records which relate to the Colorado Plateau or Northern Arizona University and which may be acquired through a gift or bequest. A policy outlining the scope of the collections housed in Cline Library's Special Collections and Archives is available upon request.
Please be aware that donations of archival collections involve both a transfer of physical ownership and any associated copyright or literary rights. See the Library Deed of Gift. Library staff will be delighted to discuss a gift of digital archival material which meets the technical specifications necessary to ensure long-term preservation and access. The library is unable to provide complimentary copies of materials in return for a donation, so donors are encouraged to obtain copies for family members prior to execution of a gift.
General Collections Gifts
Library staff will gladly discuss a gift of books or media resources for the library that supports the university's curricula and goals. All gifts are reviewed for condition and appropriateness to the collection with the understanding that the library makes all necessary decisions as to retention and other disposition. Due to the volume of material acquired and prepared for public access each year, the library is not able to provide donors with an item-by-item inventory. Also, the library is not able, per IRS rules, to provide appraisals. The responsibility for appraising gifts remains with the donor.
Cline Library is particularly interested in high-quality hardcover fiction and current scholarly materials in environmental science, global studies and education. Media titles in the following formats are currently acquired and supported by the library: DVD and music or audio recordings on CD. Items generally not needed include magazines and journals, textbooks or items in poor physical condition.

Tribute to Eddy Merckx
Tribute to Eddy Merckx. The achievements of his epic career are hidden in the drawing. Merckx won 525 races, that\'s why there are 525 trophies in the drawing. Put in motion by the cinemoco system.
Tribute to Eddy Merckx. The achievements of his epic career are hidden in the drawing. Merckx won 525 races, that\'s why there are 525 trophies in the drawing. Put in motion by the cinemoco system.
All of the parallel shots were done by Cinesquid attached to my car and to a jetbike (first shot with the boat). Cinesquid helped me to get very stable shots and smooth motion.
This is Lu, a pretty young tattoo artist with an interesting story. I would have LOVED to use the new cinetics slider to do timelapses as well slider moves of Lu working.
This is the official trailer to the short film, HI-RUN. HI-RUN is the story of a down and out pool hustler who must enlist the help of an old pool hall owner in order to take down a crooked mob boss.
My second timelapse clip - had a fantastic time in London and I think this reflects it well. Cinesquid and Cineskates were used, but a lot of the motion is post. Counting down to Cinemoco!
We used the CineMoco and SkateTrack and shot every scene multiple times with different actors to a metronome one afternoon. Then, we combined the sequences to create a stop-motion look.
For our annual Client Holiday gift this year, we decided to design a custom Eye Creature Lego kit. Many of these shots were taken using the CineSkates System, utilizing our beloved SkatePlate.
This video was made for a local Austin, TX band, The Gorgeous Hands with no motivation except to make something cool. We received our CineMoco system the exact week we\'d decided to shoot. The first
Promo shot for a local textiles studio. CineSkates used for a few shots. Would have loved to have used CineMoco on a track to expand the smooth Cinetics style across more of the video.
A tongue in cheek mixture of fact and fiction about potential problems of a human settlement on Mars and the possible consequences. Dedicated to Mars visionary Dr Robert Zubrin and the Mars Society.
Two people meet one day. Sally leaves Dave a note. Is it meant to be? I would have used cinetics gear for the dolly on the car, table shots of Dave and the walk away.
When denied Doritos, a baby takes things into her own hands.
This was a four day project or recording, filming and editing. I relied on the subtle tilt of my table to accelerate the CineSkates (following a gentle tap).
A pastiche of video and timelapse footage from an afternoon in the Docklands Precinct of Melbourne, Australia. This was made with a Panasonic GH2, GoPro Hero 3 and Cinemoco system.

Ignored by passing Bermudian motorists, Black Watch Well sits at a sometimes chaotic three-way intersection between North Shore Road, Langton Hill, and Blackwatch Pass. It is marked by a sign, which explains the little structure's history.
Black Watch Well takes its name from the heroic Scottish soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 42nd Regiment of Loyal Highlanders, who are forever remembered here as having come to the aid of the area's "poor and their cattle in the long drought of 1849." The limestone well they dug down to an underwater lens still bears its wooden roof, though its interior has been capped for safety reasons.
Park at nearby C-Mart's parking lot, or across the road at the Ducking Stool Park, whose name refers to its history as a site like St. George's, where 17th-century public punishments, using a seat on a log to dunk sinners, were frequently staged. These days, it is a popular Cup Match [1] campsite, with deep swimming holes off its scenic cliffs.
The dramatic Blackwatch Pass is also worth driving or walking through; its towering limestone walls, which were carved by hand in the 1930s, demonstrate a magnificent feat of engineering, and also show the crumbling geological strata of local limestone. The Pass links North Shore Road with Marsh Folly and Palmetto Road.

I tryed to import a video file to unity, and it works. The problem is the Console says i need QuickTime to be isntalled, but it IS installed. Unity wont find it or something. Any idea why?
(comments are locked)
Problem solved, upgraded Unity to the last version and now it works perfectly. Thanks anyway.
(comments are locked)
When this happens it might be worth testing if Quicktime plays the video correctly outside of Unity. I imagine one might get an error like this if Quicktime lacked the codec needed for that particular video file, or if something was wrong with the file. UnityAnswers is not like the oldskool linear forums in the webs. In here good answers float to the top and answers are not presented in timelines. I'd like to see requests for details in the comments for a question. That way OP can edit the question adding the requested details. Later you can delete your comment if it is not relevant anymore.

Nicolaj Schweitz ♦♦
The fault was merely that I was too conversational/polite. Although it was phrased as a question my reply actually WAS an answer, suggesting that the error might indicate that Quicktime might not be able to play the file. I'll edit my reply to clarify.
Jan 26 '10 at 11:45 AM
UnityAnswers is not like oldskool forum polls. I like to see downvotes removed when someone fixes their answer.

Comments about The Knot Personalized Mini Water Bottles:
I looooove the bottles. They are adorable and the personalization is great! The only thing I don't like is that the label doesn't wrap completley around the bottle. It would look so much better if they did, but there is about an inch gap. other than that they are awesome and i can't wait to have them at my reception! =)
This item ships within 5-7 business days. Unfortunately, bottled water does not qualify for free shipping offers and discount coupons.

Simply terrible. Food quality was poor - the meat was not cooked. The falafel sandwich was tasteless.

I really love this place. I order at least once a week. Food is so delicious and literally fresh tasting. Try the wings...they are off the hook damn good!!! Also, the half chicken is so tasty. And the baklava??? PLENTIFUL. Just really great, very healthy, yummmy food.

Food is great but delivery is awful. i have ordered twice through SeamlessWeb and after an hour called to check where my food is to be told it is on the way. Twenty minutes later still waiting.... won't be ordering delivery from here again.

The falafel platter was disappointing. Consisted of 5 falafel's and a tin of hummus. I also ordered the lamb kabob which was tasty but asked for extra pickles with each order and received a total of 3 sliced of pickles.... times are tough.
