The DriftBox is the first vehicle performance meter with the ability to measure drift angle.
A 10Hz GPS engine, coupled with sophisticated motion sensors allow you to record vehicle performance characteristics such as drift angle, g-force, speed, distance, lap & split times and acceleration.
The new Predictive Lap Timing function gives you instant driver feedback and helps you to find valuable improvements in your times.
All parameters are logged to an SD memory card ten times per second for later review and comparison.
DriftBox is small, easy to install and available in three different packages.
Acceleration: 0-60, 0-100 / displays: Time, g-force Braking: 60-0, 100-0 / displays: Time, distance, g-force Distance: 60', ¼mi, ½mi, 1mi / displays: Time, trap speed Live G-Meter: Accel, Decel, cornering g-forces, with max G |
Real-time view of drift parameters and calculation of key drift data. Speed: Current, Peak & Average Drift Angle: Current, Peak & Average G-force: Peak & Average Score: Current & Total |
Wheel HP Calculation: Enter your vehicle's weight and run an acceleration to estimate wheel horsepower. Flywheel HP Calculation: Perform a coast-down test to measure drag, and the PerformanceBox will calculate HP at the flywheel. |
Speed: PerformanceBox also works as a highly accurate digital speedometer with compass, a handy feature for street driving. Accurate GPS speed can be used to calibrate a vehicle's speed readout. |
Lap Time: Displays current lap, last lap, best lap Split Times: Dislays split time or speed at a split point Virtual Start/Finish/Split Lines: Using GPS, there is no need for an external beacon or transmitter. Split lines can be easily saved and transferred. |
Predictive mode enables you to graphically view your predicted lap time. Predictive lap timing works by saving your position around a circuit, every second. If the current lap is the fastest so far, then this positional data is saved as a reference. |
This screen provides the ability to configure the input channels of a connected Micro Input Module and view the data on each of the input module channels. A Micro Input Module allows 4 analogue and 1 digital (RPM) inputs. |
Predictive Lap Timing
To achieve our unrivalled accuracy, we compare two different laps using GPS position rather than distance, 10 times a second. This means our lap time stays accurate, even if yiou take a different line each lap.
Read more about how it works.
Circuit Tools Analysis Software
The software is designed by racing drivers, for racing drivers, with none of the complexity normally associated with analysis software.
Easy to use
To analyse your track data, simply insert the SD card with your recorded data into your PC and select a file.
Huge track database
The software automatically detects the country, circuit and track configuration from a database of 400 circuits and uses the start/finish line information to separate the laps contained in your recorded file.
The fastest lap from your latest session is automatically chosen and displayed on the graph window. You can compare runs from this session, or from previous ones simply by clicking on the relevant lap time shown in the session window.
Lap time difference channelTime difference or 'Delta-T' is a very useful channel that shows the lap time difference between two different laps. |

Performance Tools
This software allows you to analyse your vehicle's performance in a range of acceleration and braking tests.
To use the data logging, simply insert the 64MB SD card (which gives up to 53 hours of logging) and drive. Once you have finished the test, either plug the Performance Box into a PC via the USB cable provided, or remove the SD card and place it in a suitable reader.
The data is then read into the Performance Tools software, which is installed from the CD supplied.
This software allows graphical analysis of acceleration, braking, cornering and lap times. You can overlay up to four files, and you get an accurate track map to compare your driving line between different laps.

The Pira Packaging Summit will be held on 12-13 Novemer 2013 at the Millenium Mayfair
Breaking News: UK Packaging Awards entry deadline extended
New deadline 5pm, Friday 14 June 2013
It has been another year of outstanding innovation in the UK packaging industry and, after a hard-fought competition in 2012, I have no doubt that this year's event will raise the bar again, be it for excellence in business performance or setting new levels of ingenuity and originality in packaging development and design.
Why enter? For a start, reaching the shortlist in the UK Packaging Awards sets you apart from the competition. It's a mark that your work or your business is up there with the very best in the market. It's something you can shout about, tell your clients and suppliers and use to help win business - which, for many of our shortlisted companies and suppliers, a place on the shortlist does.
Moreover, the UK Packaging Awards is your chance to put your best work in front of a group of the most powerful packaging buyers and specifiers in the business. I take great personal pride in putting together an impartial judging panel that draws on expertise from the biggest names in retail, brand owners, packaging research agencies and the top business experts in the industry. This year, judges from Reckitt Benckiser, Muller Dairies, Waitrose, B&Q, Marks & Spencer and more have already confirmed their participation in the judging process - and we will be announcing more in the weeks to come.
Finally, of course, the UK Packaging Awards offers the biggest night out in packaging to celebrate the industry's many successes and to rub shoulders with colleagues, friends, rivals and suppliers across the sector. More than 700 people attended last year's Awards ceremony, at the London Hilton - and we are confident that this year's event, on 13 November, will be bigger and better than ever.
You will find all you need to know to enter the UK Packaging Awards in these pages and at our website, www.ukpackagingawards.co.uk. I can't wait to see this year's entries and I wish you all the very best of luck in the competition.

Loving Lang Lang: Heroic Tchaikovsky and Nielsen with Dudamel in Los Angeles
Among among certain classical music cognoscenti, few statements will probably cause one to lose more cred than saying this: "I love Lang Lang."
More than a decade after his debut, the 31-year-old pianist's fame shows no sign of abating. His performances on various daytime and late-night television programs, not to mention playing at the White House and the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics, have ensured him renown far beyond the confines of the classical music world; perhaps the only pianist today of whom it can be said that he is a household name. Which is one of the reasons why a lot of people are skeptical, if not outright hostile to his work. The overbearing rubati and general willfulness of his aggressively miked studio albums don't help. Which is why for some people, uttering "I love Lang Lang" is about as abysmal an admission to make as confessing a love for top 40 radio or Thomas Kincaide paintings would be elsewhere. In other words, very uncool.
Admittedly, I'm one of those people who turn up their noses at Lang Lang. Er... that is to say was. Because the Lang Lang that made an appearance at Walt Disney Hall last Thursday was nothing like anything I had ever heard on his studio albums.
His playing of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto no. 1 was sleek, polished, exuberant, highly distinguished, and wonderfully alive; utterly unlike his sludgy studio album with the Chicago Symphony and Daniel Barenboim as one can imagine.
His tone was throughout pearlescent, magisterial, and spiced with Romantic daring. Yes, sometimes he would take a few passages so slow as to nearly break the melodic line into a scattering of Jackson Pollock-like splotches of notes that hung disconnected in the air. But even that wasn't so much a nuisance as it was a source of fascination. His passagework in the second movement's "Prestissimo" was luminous; spinning dazzling crystalline webs of delicate pianistic filigree.
Fully engaged was the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel, matching note-for-note their soloist's bounding, dynamic musicality. Some may grimace over their performance's athleticism. But this is music that demands this kind of capital-R Romantic playing from orchestra and soloist. And let's be clear: Lang Lang's triumph never came at the cost of the score. At the root of the pianist's irrepressible energy is a firm respect for the composer and the score.
Am I ready to become a Lang Lang believer? This performance would have made a convert out of even the grumpiest pianophile.
That same free-flowing power lent its charge to Carl Nielsen's Symphony no. 4. Nicknamed "The Inextinguishable", the English equivalent fails to convey the full spectrum of meaning that the Danish name "uudslukkelige" implies, which is closer to "That Which is Inextinguishable." It's a crucial difference. It's not the symphony itself which is "inextinguishable", but what it was intended to portray: life and man at the center of it, seizing his destiny by the throat.
A shout for joy and an affirmation of belief of the unstoppable force of life – think of it as a kind of negative of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde – the symphony is made all the more poignant and defiant by the fact that it was composed while Central Europe lay in ruins under bombs, trenches, and rolling clouds of poison gas unleashed by World War I.
"Unstoppable" could very well describe the Philharmonic's and Dudamel's take on the music. And "explosive". The furious opening gave way to wide expanses of sound that seem to speak of the pastoral beauty of the Danish countryside, which the orchestra beautifully underlined and shaped. The merry second movement as well as the severe and odd third movement erupted seamlessly into the timpani riot of the finale.
Dudamel recently recorded the symphony with Sweden's Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. He sounded a bit tentative in that recording; not yet fully immersed in Nielsen's idiom. Thursday, however, proved him to be a Nielsen conductor of the first rank. Will more Nielsen symphonies follow from this pairing? I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that the answer is "yes".

Lang Lang: Popular classical music is great, too
By Marcia Adair, LA Times
BERLIN — In a hotel in the embassy-heavy streets in the city's center, Lang Lang sits on a bright red couch, a modestly daring complement to the room's elaborate Bauhaus paneling. He has just come from a conference in Cannes where he gave a speech to the who's who of the music biz about classical music, social media and building music schools in China.
The window is open and outside, a woman shouts enthusiastically into a megaphone. Her acolytes answer her calls with equal vim. Inside the normally happy-go-lucky, 30-year-old pianist is doing some protesting of his own.
When he plays with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Hall in May, it will be Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, a piece second perhaps only to Grieg in the most-played concerto table. For core classical music fans, playing popular pieces is nothing more than pandering to the lowest common denominator.
"I totally disagree," Lang says of this assertion. "A lot of what you call the great repertoire is popular, but that doesn't mean it's not a great work. I mean, come on. Rachmaninoff 3 is great. There shouldn't be 'If this work is so popular, then don't do it.' In the art world it is only what you feel right to perform."
He is more exasperated than angry, but at the suggestion that commercial success and artistic integrity are mutually exclusive, the nicely glowing coals burst into flames.
"I think it's totally wrong," he says, his face a mix of annoyance and incredulity. "No great artist in the world that I know will make a sacrifice to play with someone just because the name is big. I think this doesn't happen in our world. You ask Zubin Mehta, you ask Mariss Jansons, Sir Simon Rattle, Barenboim. 'Use him because he sell tickets.' Nobody says that because they don't care!"
Perhaps in his world, this is true. Lang has been on the classical A list for nearly a third of his life, and most of the artists he collaborates with probably don't have to take on projects that don't interest them to sell tickets.
"The point I must make very clearly — and this has nothing to do with myself — is I'm not saying that if you're not commercially successful it's because you aren't good enough, but you can't say that because others are commercially successful you're better because you're a real artist. The only way you can talk about this is because of one word: jealousy. I'm pretty positive about it."
The next day at an open dress rehearsal for concerts with Gustavo Dudamel and the Berliner Philharmoniker, Lang ambles onstage, sits down at the piano and gives the orchestra a G sharp. Dudamel gives the downbeat and the orchestra gets down to the business of rehearsing Bartok. In the third movement, schoolboys in the audience imitate Lang's bouncing style, only stopping when, from five or six seats away, their teacher makes it clear they bop at their peril.
The night of the concert, the Philharmoniker is abuzz. Bartok is not the most immediately rewarding concerto for the audience, so Lang holds nothing back. His movements are more exaggerated — at one point it seems as if he is trying start a lawn mower — but it is a mistake to think it is just showboating. Lang recognizes that we hear as much with our eyes as our ears and Bartok needs bigger signposts than Mozart. The audience, enraptured, explodes.
It was the spare beauty of Mozart that got him back to the keyboard after his piano teacher kicked him out because he had no talent. At 9, Lang did the sensible thing and quit. For three months, he refused to touch a piano.
"People were begging me to [play], but I said I wasn't a musician anymore and I had given up," he recalls. "But they found the score of Mozart's Piano Sonata K.330 and they were saying, 'This is beautiful music, play for us.' Somehow I started playing and said, 'Why should I stop? This is a stupid decision.' Gradually, I started to feel connected to music again."
When some time opens up between all the piano playing, award accepting and sponsor placating, Lang likes to participate in the education projects managed by his Lang Lang International Foundation for Music. But classical music remains his first love and his passion and he speaks of it lovingly.
"It gives us a complete freeing of feelings, emotions, structures and imagination," Lang explains. "Pop artists like Alicia Keys or Lady Gaga studied classical piano before. Training in classical music gives you very solid ideas on how to build music. When you hear the music it becomes part of you and it shouldn't be too hard to understand. If that's the case, I as a Chinese would never play classical music."

Quote:Would the upgrade cause any conflicts with the ASCOM drivers for 4.15? Or even better, is the ASCOM driver available for 4.16 as well?
Quote:Having just received my new CG-5 ASGT mount, can I upgrade to 4.16 version directly without passing thru 4.15? If I upgrade the HC, does the MC automatically gets upgraded too? Out-of-the-box version is HC 4.13 and MC 5.03/5.03. Thanks.Best,Hernando
Quote:However I install it in Nexremote firmware folder. When open Nexremote and config for CGE selecting the new 4.16 instead of former 4.15. The virtual HC behaves like a HC of CGEM not CGE as previously selected.

Converse's classic sneakers are an essential part of any casual wardrobe — especially "Chucks," the iconic All Star design that put Converse's shoe business on the map. As affordable as they are indispensable, the timeless shoes first came into existence when a young basketball star named Chuck Taylor joined Converse as a salesman in 1921. By 1966, Converse owned 80% of the sneaker market. Chucks have been worn by members of just about every subculture, from rock 'n' rollers to jocks, helping Converse to cement its status as one of the most singularly American shoe brands in existence today.

To me this is stricktly a direct response to a psychic power. If I use my GK and activate NF weapons, then I take the hit, since the weapon is affected, not me. If I cast warprift on my wolves, I would take a wtt save om my wolves.

Trough the storms of the warp they come, upon the very tides of terror, but of such dangers they are uncaring. They are the Space Wolves, the undefeated, the bane of the Emperor's foes.
biggest problem I see is that in a regular force weapon instant death is the result of being targeted by the power, and a succesful roll activation.
the activation of nemesis force weapons does not directly cause a instant death, it causes the bearers to cause instant death, it's the same result but different way of getting there.

I think the the Warp Quake example would look like this.
1> The space wolf suffers a Deep Strike Mishap (the ultimate effect of the power)
2> The Deep Strike Mishap was the direct effect the successful psychic test (it's the Warp Quake psychic power that causes mishaps)
Using your sequence of events above, you can never link the successful psychic test to the ultimate effect. Can you say how your step 4 a direct consequence of your step (5) 6?
Lets say that Warp Quake didnt cause the unit to suffer a Deep Strike Mishap and instead turned an area of the board into impassible terrain. The sequence would look like this.
1> The space wolf suffers a Deep Strike Mishap (the ultimate effect of the power)
2> The Deep Strike Mishap was the direct effect of landing on impassable terrain
3> The impassable terrain was the direct effect of the successful psychic test
So in my made up example the psychic power did not directly effect the space wolf. The sequence clearly shows how one action is caused by another all the way through the chain back to the psychic test. Your sequence above does not do this.

Ok so I am correct in thinking that you think the sequence should look like this?
1) The space wolf suffers Instant Death (the ultimate effect of the psychic power on the space wolf)
2) Instant Death was the direct effect of suffering a wound that causes instant death
3) The wound that causes instant death was the direct effect of a successful psychic test (and also a successful to wound roll...but for the purposes of figuring out the degrees of separation between a psychic test and the effect we only need to go back until we reach the psychic test)
Yes I think you are right and the space wolf has been indirectly affected by the psychic power. I think for simplicities sake the WTT should only be used against effects that are suffered as a direct result of a psychic power (1 degree of separation between the test and the effect) and maybe a FAQ will 'fix' the NFW so that it does directly affect the space wolf. With that said though, as it stands today I think both sides have argued equally valid points for the WTT to work against effects caused directly or indirectly by psychic powers.

It's not strictly a result, it's just that I'm trying to show that there are times when a psychic power isn't as simple as "make a psychic test" and "something happens immediately"...in this case there is a large number of steps that occur between when the power is used and when it actually does something...but when it finally "does something" that something is affecting the unit with the WTT regardless of what happens in the interim. If the unit never arrives from reserve then obviously it can't Deep Strike, so a prerequisite of it being affected by the power is for it to arrive and Deep Strike. So I can't really see it being left out of our causality chain.
To counter:
I would argue that steps 1-3 are superfluos, as once the unit has suffered more hits than it would have if the power were not in effect then it has been affected by the power. Or we could argue that the re-rolls themselves are the effect of the power and that since they will potentially cause more hits then these "extra" to-hit rolls are affecting the unit.
So it seems it could as easily be:
1) If [any] re-rolls are successful then the unit takes more hits than it would normally due to the psychic power (which is technically the psychic power's effect, it does nothing to modify wound rolls or saves)
2) To-hit rolls are made. If some miss then the power "activates".
3) A psychic power is passed (You actually didn't count this as a seperate step in your example).
See, now I've got it down to only two steps which means it's pretty much a direct effect at that point (or would you assume that a to-hit roll for a PSA isn't part of using that PSA?). As I've stated before, it does seem like there are times when the roll could be made in a pre-emptive fashion to avoid unnecessary rolling...I think I used PSAs before, as once you've actually hit with them you could roll to nullify at that point and thus avoid rolling wounds and saves that might be moot...although it can be just as well to finish out the sequence in case the power does fail to wound or saves are passed.
My fundamental argument all along is that there is no qualifier in the Wolf Tail Talisman rule as to what qualifies as "affected by"...it doesn't have to be wounds, or even an attack per se. It merely has to "affect" the unit in some way.

Yes I see what you mean, but the ultimate effect on the space wolf is that he suffers a wound, not that he suffers more hits. The effect on the Eldar unit is that he makes more successful "To Hit" rolls but this is not an effect on the Space wolf.
I think you have to start at the effect on the space wolf, which is "the space wolf suffers a wound" and work back from that.
1> The space wolf suffers a wound
2> The wound is a direct effect of a successful To hit roll
3> The to hit roll may or may not have been the direct effect of a successful psychic test
I've not tried working out a PSA so here goes.
1> The space wolf suffers a wound
2> The wound is a direct effect of a psychic shooting attack
I would say the space wolf has been directly affected by the PSA.
This is completely true IMO. Making more successful "To Hit" rolls is not the effect on the space wolf though. The "Wound" the space wolf suffers as a result of those successful "To Hit" rolls is the effect on the space wolf. This effect has been shown to have been indirectly caused by the "Guide" psychic power. Whether indirect effects still count for the purposes of the WTT is, I think, still open for debate.

True, it doesn't differentiate between direct and indirect, but - as you say - the chain of indirectness can be traced back to an absurd level, so really we're left with trying to determine what they meant by this rule (yes, heading into the murky area of RAI, it seems like), and it seemed to me the precedent GW has used before has been a direct effect. We haven't had games before where Guide had been able to be negated - at least until now. I would say GAP (based upon earlier edition null rods having the same wording for not affecting the unit, and Guide still having been able to be used against them before) that at some point of indirectness you don't count it as affecting the unit for purposes of triggering the piece of wargear. This would also mean you don't have to backtrack to previous phases, where you might get something like Gate of Infinity allowing a unit to Deep Strike close enough to the Wolves to shoot them up - that would be an indirect effect, but not really one to cancel. I think that what we're doing in the debates now is really trying to set the threshold of that indirectness at which it's no longer appropriate to say the wargear could negate the power.
After typing the last paragraph, I decided to go to the Adepticon page to look at the INAT. They define "affected" as something targeting or directly affecting the model or unit. That said, I see that they're treating the Instant Death as a direct effect and not as an indirect effect. I think that in the debates here it's mostly been seen as an indirect effect, but I wouldn't have a problem playing under the INAT FAQ (if it was used for everything - there's individual rulings I might not agree with, but overall it gives a good structure overall for most of the questions and is far more thorough than the GW FAQs). They don't treat Hammerhand or Might of the Ancients as something that can be negated, as that would be indirect. (Still, I'm willing to play devil's advocate and argue on the hypothetical if they can be affected, what about scenario x, as we're about to get to with your next paragraph.)
Are they, really? Let's take the situation I gave where there were no 2's rolled, but only 1's and 3+'s. Only one buff was required to achieve that result. If you start rolling to negate them, and you fail to negate the first buff you'd rolled against, then you can't show that any of the other buffs affected the unit - the one buff you failed against was enough to provide the results that affected the unit. So, why should you get to roll against any of the other buffs if they can't be shown to affect the unit? (Again, this is playing Devil's advocate here, trying to take this strand down the path as far as we can just to explore the issue more.)
I agree it's not what the rules say, and I'd disagree with rolling before any to wound rolls were made because I think you still need to demonstrate that the unit is affected. (I don't think changing the target numbers changing would be enough - the unit needs to have a tangible (indirect) effect like the power actually having caused a wound that wouldn't have happened without the power) I don't think that "for simplicity's sake" covers the situation where you can avoid showing that the unit is actually being affected by a power before you make the rolls. To be honest, I think that the thought for preventing headaches and backtracking was what led to decisions in the past to limit things to targeting and direct effects. It might not strictly have been RAW, but it certainly has been GAP.
Oh, thanks for originally putting up that first argument about Hammerhand! I'm enjoying getting into the detail of it in the thread here, and I'm glad other people are picking up on it and running with it now.
You're welcome. I'm just glad that with this many of pages of discussion it has remained very civil . I do hope people understand that I am as much playing "devil's advocate" here along with my opinons of how I think it should work. Fundamentally it's one of those "grey areas" where GW hasn't given us strong definitions to work with so we are left to determine how far-reaching the ability should be.
I agree and have conceded earlier that a "direct effect" is probably the intended usage and that indirect affects are probably overreaching, but when people start arguing that BoP NFW is an "indirect effect" it just rubs me the wrong way and so I argue that the rules for the WTT don't require it to be a "direct" effect anyways (not that I want to start that discussion all over again...)
As for your Gate of Infinity example I've maintained that the test should be "what would be the result if the power were not in effect". In this case there is not even really any indirect effect except in a very abstract way, since when the unit shoots the power is no longer active.
Note that this is very different from a power like Hammerhand or Guide where we have a very specific and immediate effect on the unit with the Talisman.
First, I don't put a lot of faith in non-GW FAQs (or to a great degree in GW's own FAQs either ) regardless of how many people were involved in making them or use them as they aren't really any more valid that "Egaeus' House Rules" where I could make whatever crazy decisions I wanted. Although they can be nice for a "here's what other people think on the issue". And just because "that's what people think" (for example on the ID issue) doesn't mean that they are right.
Does the FAQ define or tell how to determine what is "directly affecting", as that is still the crux of the matter? Otherwise they might as well be saying "they are affected by things that affect them"...redundant.
The thing is you don't apply the power individually until you reach a desired threshold...they all apply automatically as a lump sum, so you can't distinguish "which one" actually applied since they all do. Thus you should get a roll to nullify each one. I would assume this would all be done at the same time since they all do essentially the same things. The downside to this seems to be that if any of them are nullified then one would have to re-roll all hits using the "new" Strength...which could potentially end up causing more wounds than the original rolls. This is why I suggested rolling before wounds are rolled, primarily as a means of simplifying things (sort of like what causes the issue with NFWs...)
D'oh...I really don't like this new system as it takes me too long to compose a reply and then I lose it because it logs me out...so I try to copy to Notepad before posting but I still lose things....had a section here but lost it...
But we still don't really have a good definition of "affected", so I think that "changing target numbers" could very legitimately be considered an effect...basically this is all that Doom does, although since Doom is cast on a unit it is most definitely a direct affect. But Guide does a very similar thing, although for hits rather than wounds and it isn't cast on an enemy unit...but it still results in a targeted unit being affected. But as you say until you actually make a re-roll that counts it hasn't really affected the unit in any meaningful way. Although I suppose Doom is easy enough to keep track of because you just have to know how many wounds were caused by re-rolls and they simply get negated...so I assume that you roll for the WTT as soon as those re-rolls are made? Or do you make saves against those "extra" wounds to see if they actually "affect" the unit? If you wait until after saves how do you resolve what happens if the effect gets negated? If you have to keep track of those successful re-rolled wounds all the way through the process and roll those saves sepreately then that to me is a pretty significant effect. Basically I'm trying to establish that there are situations when "being affected" occurs earlier than the final result of a power.
Edit: Or do we just roll to Nullify Doom as soon as it is successfully cast on the unit? Having the debuff applied is certainly affected, but if the unit doesn't get shot at, or any shots don't need to be re-rolled has the unit actually "been affected"?

I think it rubbed the people who made the INAT the wrong way too, when they listed it as a direct effect. I think from a RAW standpoint what they did with the new wording makes it an indirect effect, but that is most likely an unintended consequence of the change.
I agree, I just look at the INAT one now and then because it's almost become a standard "house rule" FAQ for a lot of people. I don't agree with everything in it, and I suspect you won't find anyone who does. It can work as a nice compromise if you're trying to make things easier, just from the standpoint they've covered far more topics than you might think to bring up.
They just give a list of powers by army that are affected by the WTT (and have the same list for the null rod, by the way); they didn't define how to determine what is directly affecting. It does look like they're using 1 degree of separation for their things, though - except for a small number which might be debatable the link is direct without any intervening degrees.
Still, I think if you reach the point that the remaining powers aren't having an effect (at least that turn) you wouldn't be nullifying them. Of course, it's a moot point if you are going with the "target or direct effect" interpretation, as these buffs are definitely indirect.
I'll agree that GW needs to provide a better definition for what they mean by "affected", otherwise any Butterfly Effect could be claimed - like the patently absurd examples I've given before like Gate of Infinity, or Quickening. I'd agree on Doom being a direct effect, that one's pretty obvious since you're targeting the unit you cast it on.
Guide's indirect though, not direct. It's cast on the Eldar unit. If you're trying for allowing indirect effects to be cancelled, then you definitely would have to keep track of the successful rerolls to hit to determine if they wound. This is approaching a level of bookkeeping that GW doesn't seem to want to have with the game, which is probably why GAP has been that it would only be direct effects. The earlier Daemonhunters Codex had the same wording about affecting the model/unit with the Null Rod, and GAP had been that it would not negate Guide.
Actually, that is a tricky situation. If you're not treating the unit as having been affected until a reroll to wound is required, then if nobody shoots at the unit, it could find itself in assault. Only the IC has a Wolf Tail Talisman, not the rest of the unit, and the IC would be treated as a separate unit in combat. This would mean that if combat at appropriate initiatives targeted only the bulk of the unit first and not the IC, then technically you could still get the unit being affected by Doom. I think, however, that this one will fall under the "for simplicity's sake" explanation for having the WTT get its chance to cancel the Doom.
Hmm, come to think of it, this means that a SW unit would not get any chance to cancel Nemesis Force Weapons until at whatever initiative the IC gets wounded by the Force Weapons. It sucks for the Wolves that the Wolf Lord on his thunderwolf mount can't stop the NFWs from mowing down the Thunderwolf Cavalry unit he joined while not swinging at him. (Handy GK Close Combat tip - have any models with Nemesis Force Falchions attack the main body of a unit and not the IC with the Wolf Tail Talisman.)

And Doom "affects" the unit how, exactly? If Doom is cast on a unit and then said unit is completely ignored until Doom expires has the power actually affected the unit? If we say "Yes, because the very nature of having Doom cast on the unit is how it is affected" then why couldn't I argue equally that if, for example, a PSA is successfully cast and hits the unit that at that point the power has affected my unit?
As I've maintained throughout the thread there really isn't any strict rules support for the idea of direct versus indirect effects, so I would agree that it's unlikely that GW saw this as an issue when writing the rules. There are many instances when it seems like they expect players to just know how a rule is supposedto work despite how it is actually worded. And I'm fairly certain the authors don't put anywhere near the amount of time the players do in dissecting the wording of the rules.
Having a list of powers is probably the best way to do it, although I could see instances where people could wonder "Why can A be nullified but not B?" (I haven't bothered to look at the list myself, so this is conjecture).
And I have agreed that there is a level where it becomes absurd, but I beleive I've also presented some "rules of thumb" that aid in determining whether or not it is absurd...the two basics being "Is the power in effect when somthing occurs?" (so a power that has finished doesn't affect what comes later) and "what would be the result if the power weren't in effect?" or perhaps more simply "what is the power doing?" (which assumes an 'active' power to be causing some effect).
This is why I like Doom and Guide as examples, since they do essentially that same thing, allow re-rolls. Now Doom is a "targeted" effect as it is used on an enemy unit. Guide is used on a friendly unit. However, neither power really has any inherent effect, they both require further interactions to actually be useful. But I find it very difficult to claim that the unit that is having re-rolls made against it isn't being "affected" by the usage of either power.
I've been loathe to bring up fluff discussion because I know full well that fluff != rules but there is that level of "what the item is meant to do, and how well does it do it"...although at this point I am going to simply leave it at that.
You're really arguing that something placed on a unit isn't affecting them? Even if the effect is benign until invoked? And yes a PSA succesfully cast that hits the unit is also affecting the unit... I'm not sure what you're trying to argue.And Doom "affects" the unit how, exactly? If Doom is cast on a unit and then said unit is completely ignored until Doom expires has the power actually affected the unit? If we say "Yes, because the very nature of having Doom cast on the unit is how it is affected" then why couldn't I argue equally that if, for example, a PSA is successfully cast and hits the unit that at that point the power has affected my unit?
you're argument of doom vs guide is clearly oranges to apples, even if they both taste the same they are different things all together for this argument. In the words of Chief Justice Stewart, "I know it when I see it." to say that doom does not affect a unit, and that it is the same as guide is just silly. Even if all wordings are identical, they become fundamentally difference in how they interact in the world with the "target enemy unit" vs "target friendly unit" bits.
To say they have no inherent effect because they require further interactions to be useful is silly. If I coat you in gasoline, I have affected you, even if we're waiting on a match to show up. If I give myself a flamethrower I still haven't affected you. The end result of you being immolated like a buddhist monk protesting maybe the same, but the how we got there and what affected you from me are different.

To play devil's advocate here, your argument could be used by someone who wanted to say that Guide would be affected by the WTT. Even though it's cast on the Eldar, it lets them reroll failed hits, which might cause hits and wounds on the Space Wolves that they wouldn't have otherwise suffered. It's a much more indirect effect for Guide than for Doom though. So, should Guide be able to be negated? I'd side with GAP and not have it affected; a precedent had been set by Null Rod over several editions. (So, I'm on your side with that view.) It looks to me that you are trying to draw the line at indirect effects. This isn't a bad place to draw it, but there will be some people who will argue against the line being there.
my argument can't apply to guide, my whole argument is that you can't have a save against a psychic power that doesn't directly affect you, ie guide, hammer hands, might of titans, quickening, etc.

Okay, I'll try to explain to you why it could apply. Let's look at your statement.
Now, for Guide to affect the Wolves, it would require further interactions - the Guide allows them rerolls of hits, which can cause hits that would not have affected the Wolves, and these hits could cause wounds that would not have otherwise been inflicted because of the Guide. Therefore, the argument can be made that your statement can be used to justify having Guide affect the unit. You never stated that it had to be a direct effect in that statement. Now, with your last reply, you've changed it so that you are stating that you're basing it on direct effects only. My point is some people will debate that based on the wording that indirect effects could be included, but precedent based upon the null rod would say that you stick with direct effects only.Originally Posted by lantzkev
As I've mentioned before I am merely making the argument that the rules for the WTT simply say "affected by a power" without any further qualifiers. If the rule specified powers "used on" or "targeting" the model then there would be a clear level of interaction...although there are still a number of psychic powers that aren't used against a single unit but still will have an affect on them. And powers such as Force Weapons, Doom and Guide are fundamentally used to affect enemy units. I could simply say that to argue otherwise is silly.
Although I have said before that I agree that limiting to "direct effects" keeps things somewhat simpler, aside from having to determine what is a "direct effect" and what isn't, since there is no such definition that I am aware of in the rulebook.
@DoctorTom: The current Grey Knights FAQ doesn't contain any references to the Null Rod...you cite precedence from before, but do you have some way to "prove" it without resorting to (I am assuming) old FAQs? Is there somewhere else in the current FAQs that this is addressed? I understand that we can go with what is considered GaP but if one were trying to establish this (for example to a new player) is there a source? I don't want this to come across as hostile, I'm honestly curious because sometimes the argument "this is how it worked before" isn't really applicable as the rules change.
For example, I am having a hard time trying to find the kind of power I want to use as an example...the old Tyranid powers would be nice, but none of their current powers work the same way. I was trying to find an "active debuff"...something along the lines of "until your next turn any unit that comes within X" of the unit has [penalty]"...I don't own all the current books at the moment either, so there may be something I'm just not aware of. That's why I've been using Warp Quake and Tempest's Wrath because that is essentially the effect they have, but both powers require an extra level of interaction, namely Deep Striking the unit, although this is completely doable with the Space Wolves Codex.
This "change" happened with my first comments and throughout. I've always made comments that directly and indirectly said that anything "on" a unit affects them, regardless of the interactions.
The whole conversation was about indirect effects, and it was reasonable to assume folks could infer that if they were reading the whole conversation and not just reading the last comments and replying to them...
Most abilities that nullify psychic powers are limited to things that "target" you or "affect" you. It is unreasonable to extend this beyond an immediate effect such as guide or hammerhands, regardless of how you extrapolate from there, it's when you have to extrapolate a effect, regardless of how much or little thought it requires, that you are having to work and force it to affect the model.
When something has no inherent effect, it can still affect them. In the example I gave with it, I showed someone getting doused with gasoline. Yes it needs a match to do any harm to the person, but the gasoline is on them and affecting them, even if the effect is not worth notice without a match. the "gasoline" was trigger a talisman while arming a flame thrower infront of a person would not. The coating you with gasoline affects you, the arming of someone with a flame thrower does not. Using the Flamethrower affects you, but that's not what the talisman protects from (regular mundane attacks) it only protects against gasoline and its ilk...
to adapt my little parabole that is.

Greyknights 17/3/4 2011, 47/4/11 2012
You claim this and yet I'm not sure the rules actually support this. Psychic Hoods and their ilk can nullify any psychic power...who it targets or affects is irrelevant. I feel exceptionally embarrassed because my Marines use the Black Templars rules and I didn't even think about their ability to nullify psychic powers, which states "any psychic powers targeted against...or which includes them in its area of effect". As I've said this is much more specific than merely saying "affected by". So it becomes one of those cases where even if you want to say "Well surely GW meant the same thing" they did not use the same wording which leaves the door open to interpretation.
If the trigger for the talisman were "gasoline" then why would it make a difference if it were already burning when it arrived (I am assuming that the fuel for your flamethrower is some form of gasoline...if it's not then I think your whole metaphor breaks down because as you said before we are comparing apples and oranges)? As I've maintained even if the affect is indirect if a specific effect can be traced back to being wholly a result of the power usage then I think an item that is meant to protect one from those powers should work.
Thats a over simplification, the power is activated and the grey knight unit gains a buff, this is the direct effect, the grey knight unit gaining the ID rule, whatever happens after that is how the buff effects the enemy unit, that isn't a direct effect much like how hammer hand effects a enemy unit. If you find it very hard to see how it isn't effecting the space wolf unit then you must also have trouble seeing how guide, hammerhand isn't effecting the unit, its the same thing, the only difference is when you take your psychic test, to me it just seems like you changing the context of effecting to suit the situation.
Perhaps also your trying to apply logic from the tradition wording of the rule, you simply can't because the rule isn't designed to be used on a unit basis, the standard ruling for a force weapon is designed to be used by a single model, I suspect when 6th ed comes out we are going to see the rules for force weapons changed slightly, this may explain why brotherhood of psykers is worded slightly differently.

There might have been something in the old FAQs, but I don't think there's anything with the current GW FAQs that addresses it. I know people don't like referencing the INAT FAQ for these things, but that is how the null rod was generally played before - effects that target the unit and direct effects only - and when Wolf Tail Talismans came along they treated them the same way since they had the same wording.

As always, you can also email me at email@example.com, or you can instant message me via jabber at the same address, or you can catch me when I'm in the IRC channel #Sabayon. But you already knew all that.
Anyway, I'll start off with the response I was making to tekwyzrd concerning the KDE kicker as it currently is.
tekwyzrd wrote:The only change I'm not sure about is the new menu layout. The icons are rather large necessitating scrolling to access some categories.
The new kicker menu is pretty much exactly ported from OpenSUSE right now. Personally, I like it, but I have pretty much the same concerns as you do.
I actually like my panels to be set to the tiny size, and unfortunately, the menu button only comes in the one size for normal, so I've got to keep my panel at normal size unless I want the button to go off screen. I know there are plenty of other people who use the other regular panel sizes, like laptop users who want the screen real estate for instance.
As far as what you were more specifically talking about inside of the opened up menu, I see your point. The thing I'm noticing though is that to get it like you want where you don't have to scroll as much, you'd not only have to shrink those icons a bit, but you'd have to either put the program name and description on the same line or shrink them down. I'd bet that it's more than doable, and I'd be interested in it too for myself to have the option of shrinking it down a bit.
One of things I'm working on right now is a Sabayon kicker theme (the menu button, icons, etc). The specific part of this that's go my attention right now is making a new menu button and having it play nice with each of the regular panel sizes (tiny, small, normal, and large), but I'll definitely also look into seeing if I can give users the option to have the lists inside the menu have smaller icons and be more compact.
And of course, if you have any other feedback on the kicker or how anything else looks and feels, just let me know.

2008 American Gold Buffalo
The American Buffalo Gold coin's obverse and reverse designs feature images originally prepared by noted American sculptor James Earle Fraser, once a student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, for America's 5-cent coin (nickel). That popular coin, known as the Indian Head, or Buffalo, nickel was introduced in 1913 and showcases the native beauty of the American West. The Native American depiction on the coins obverse is believed to be based on three different American Indians. Two of the American Indians who modeled for Fraser as he sculpted the coin were named by the designer before his death. They were known as Chief Iron Tail of the Lakota Sioux and Chief Two Moons of the Cheyenne. Although many have claimed to have had a sitting with Fraser for this design, he could not recall the name of the third person and satisfactory documentation has not yet been found to identify that individual. It is widely believed that the bison on the coins reverse was modeled after Black Diamond, a popular attraction at the New York Zoological Gardens. In the first year of the coin's issuance, 1913, there were two distinct varieties, the first showing the bison on a mound and the second with the base redesigned to a thinner, straight line. American Buffalo Gold Coins bear the original Fraser Type I design.

Quantum GIS Maps Historic Herpetofaunal Records in Missouri, USA |
The Missouri Herpetological Atlas Project (MOHAP) was initiated in 1997 as a result of the desire to obtain and easily update detailed distribution maps for Missouri (United States of America) amphibians and reptiles. A database was established to store all valid localities, including records published in historical literature sources and specimens vouchered from museums. From the database, a series of maps can be produced representing both locality records and "county records" for each species. Generate and Export Static Maps Figure 1 and 2: Custom map generation and export user interface, maps are generated and exported in a batch process. Figure 3: Maps are displayed as static images. Figure 4: Labelled Level III Ecoregion map for Missouri and surrounding states. Conclusions At the beginning of the MOHAP project, several commercial and propietary tools were used to store and process data and produce maps for publication. Starting in 2007, we set about to move all aspects of the project to open source software. Quantum GIS, along with PHP, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, Python, and ReportLab, forms the open source linchpin to MOHAP, effectively allowing the project and all data to exist free of propietary software entanglements. Quantum GIS contains native support for PostGIS and a Python plugin architecture, which were essential in creating the automated map generation and export. The extensive API documentation was used along with the plugin developer cookbook to create exactly what we needed for the automation. The community support is also very good and includes a huge array of shared plugins built and ready to use. Although we use Quantum GIS in a small and specific way, its capabilities and extensibility using Python is more than sufficient to tackle larger and more complex projects. Author This article was contributed by Brian Edmond in February 2013. He is a Senior Systems Analyst in Computer Services at Missouri State University. He holds a BS in Wildlife Biology from the University of Missouri and has spent his career in the intergrade zone between biology and technology. |

- Culture club lessons introduce students to the English-speaking world, especially the U.S.
- Carefully chosen topics engage students with a broad range of issues, including citizenship and values

Tab 2
Got it! is a course which is comprehensive and innovative in its range of resources, but also offers support and flexibility for the teacher. How does it achieve this?
By presenting grammar through dialogues or texts and following up with more detailed analysis, students are able to check their understanding of meaning and context. They are encouraged to try out new structures and are given opportunities to explore the meaning and usage of new language before it is presented and practised more formally. This allows them to discover the language intuitively for themselves and this sense of achievement helps to motivate them.
With a strong emphasis on dialogue work and personalization, students are able to understand how the language can work for them. Targeted skills lessons develop this and build their competence further.
The outstanding range of components means that every lesson can be varied and exciting. Whether you prefer using print or digital, or a combination of the two, all the resources are at your fingertips - giving you maximum support and flexibility.
The Online Skills Practice in Got it! Plus, offers a whole variety of resources which are easy to administer with the Learning Management System. Teachers are able to guide the learning experience whilst, at the same time, students receive encouragement through the instant feedback.
Maintaining motivation is always a challenge with teenagers, so the topics for each unit have been carefully chosen to help them become culturally aware. In addition, the broad range of issues covered develops their understanding of values.
Achieving success is the best way to keep students enthusiastic about their learning so there are regular
opportunities for them to check their progress against the Common European Framework of Reference.
Tab 3
Got it! Online Skills Practice is accessed via a card at the back of the Student Book. It contains additional practice to the Workbook and CD-ROM and includes:
Extension of all 4 skills - new reading texts, extension listening activities, speaking activities and guided writing tasks.
Extra video - interviews with American teens and accompanying activities.
Language Review - 2 review activities every 2 units.
Online practice test - KET for Schools at Level 2 and PET for Schools at Level 3.
Learning Management System - to help assign students to classes, set and monitor homework, select 'test' or 'practice' mode as preferred.
With Got it! Online Skills Practice, students' work is marked automatically, or submitted to the teacher for grading. It saves time, provides instant feedback, and helps students maintain motivation.

Purus Labs Organ Shield - Extreme Cycle Protection
Purus Labs maintains its focus on bringing you safe, anabolism-inducing product stacks by engineering the most pivotal compliment to any "pro-anabolic" cycle. Organ Shield™ was specifically designed to support hepatic (liver), prostatic (prostate), and cardiovascular (heart) function during times of high stress, such as when using "pro-anabolics." This blend of specific antioxidants, flavanoids, and phytonutrients scavenges free radicals. 365 days a year, whether ON-cycle or OFF-cycle, this is a must for any serious athletes' arsenal!
Milk Thistle
The antioxidant milk thistle has been used since Greco-Roman times. Several studies suggest milk thistle supports a healthy liver. The active component most responsible for milk thistle's detoxifying effects is called silymarin. This substance, comprised of several flavonolignands, helps support healthy liver cells.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)
NAC, arguably the pinnacle antioxidant, consists of the amino acid cysteine joined with an acetyl group making it more soluble and more biovailable than L-Cysteine alone. NAC, basically a precursor to glutathione, donates cystiene to form glutathione which is found in the body and produced in the liver.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Alpha Lipoic Acid is quite possibly the most novel, multifaceted, and important antioxidants available today. It neutralizes free radicals in both the aqueous and lipid portions of cells, is a key player in the synergism of other antioxidants extending the metabolic life of glutathione and Coenzyme Q-10, supports a healthy liver, has blood lipid modulating properties, and supports insulin function speeding the removal of glucose from the bloodstream and ushering it into muscles.
Beta-Sitosterol is one of many phytosterols, phytochemicals naturally occurring in plants, whose structure closely resembles cholesterol. Studies suggest it may help support cholesterol levels already within the normal range.
Saw Palmetto
Saw Palmetto is rich in phytosterols and fatty acids.
A highly active flavonoid, Quercitin, is yet another fierce antioxidant scavenging free radicals within the body.
Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10)
CoQ-10 is a fat soluble, vitamin like antioxidant found in cells. The biosynthesis of CoQ-10 requires 8 other vitamins and several trace enzymes. It serves as the coenzyme for mitochondrial enzymes involved in the synthesis of ATP, which all cellular function depends. It is highly concentrated in the heart due to the high energy requirements of this muscle. It also aids in healthy cholesterol levels already in normal range.

IMAGE1> ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) Leodis McKelvin scored on a 79-yard punt return and the Mario Williams-led Buffalo Bills oft-maligned defense finally flexed its muscles in a 19-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night.
Safety Jairus Byrd recovered a fumble and made a diving interception, and Bryan Scott sealed the win with an interception to end the Dolphins' final drive. Williams had one of three sacks for a Buffalo defense that limited the Ryan Tannehill-led Dolphins to 184 yards.
That was enough to make up for an offense that settled for Rian Lindell's four field goals on four drives into the red zone.
Buffalo (4-6) snapped a three-game skid and won for only the second time in seven games.
Marcus Thigpen scored on a 96-yard kickoff return and Davone Bess had a 2-yard touchdown catch for Miami (4-6), which has lost three straight.
