Suburban has been our preferred Chevrolet dealership since 2011. Service staff are always knowledgeable and straightforward. Sales staff have never been pushy to sell me a car if I am not ready. Jack Yanisch offered to help when I became interested in my new Impala. He eagerly and politely showed me features and offered a test drive. He came in on his day off to begin our purchase paperwork and pursued all possible incentives. Jack was good to keep us up to date on the status of our purchase. Mark Thompson, financing professional, is very experienced and personable. The finance terms and process went very smoothly and painlessly. Thank you Suburban Chevrolet! We look forward to keeping our new car serviced and cared for. Special thanks to Tony who professionally detailed our new car! He is a "car guy" who loves what he does.

Test drive to buy. It was that easy.
I did my research on the vehicle I wanted to test drive. Having a disability that was not addressed with a converted mini van. I needed to change how I got into a car, power driver seat to adjust, in camera backing up assist that is on most newer cars now. I needed to change to heal my spine. I also need a great deal on a new car. This I got at Suburban Chev. No hard sell I was treated with respect. I had just had a bad experience at a different dealership. Having never met the person I had a appointment with, called him during the hard sell I was getting and not feeling comfortable. He did a great job dealing with this situation I was having. Had a test drive at Sub. Chev. went on the highway and I knew this was my new vehicle. Having a patient salesperson, put me at ease driving a new car with a stranger. Finance was great except the wait as the persons ahead of me took longer. Have your paperwork together for finance think of the customer behind you!

Need to execute better
Dropped off car at 7:30 in the morning. Got a call to pick up car at 3:45. When I got to the dealership it wasn't ready and I had to wait 30 mins. Manager knocked of $50 on my $1000 tab which I appreciate. I would rather just have my car ready when it is supposed to be and not have to wait after leaving it all day.
Oct 13, 2017
No pressure help
Jason was extremely helpful and didn't try to "sell" me on something I didn't want. We found the right car at the right price with no hassles.

I've seen Duran Duran what I think is like, five times now? I am counting, lets see, twice in the 80s, twice in the 90s on "comeback tours" and once last year. So now, six times.
After tonight I will have seen Duran Duran SIX TIMES.
I have seen NO ONE that many times, not even close. Well, I've seen the Billy Joel/Elton John dual headline tour three times. I've seen Billy Joel maybe one or twice more outside of that. I never really thought about this until now. I definitely think of Billy Joel as timeless and classic and, I'd go again in a heartbeat.
But then, Duran Duran?
I read this article once in Rolling Stone about Elvis Costello that rather flippantly said Elvis Costello wasn't like "the clothes horses of Duran Duran". That phrase always stuck with me, because it seemed so COLD, as though that's what they were all about, the clothes. Even the Police were dressed up pretty in the 80s, and without fail you don't classify the Police as a "fashion" band, and the same is true of Duran Duran.
Originally classified as more 80s "New Wave" pop I think it's stood the test of time. I am not alone in grinning and turning it up when Duran Duran comes on the radio. The lyrics are often darker and less cheery than I remember at 16. I rather enjoy the darkness, in my cynical old age. Darkness and lust dressed up in a major key is a perfect recipe for a pop hit.
I saw Duran Duran when Erasure opened for them in the 80s. With our tall hair and our turned up callers, we scoffed as the emcee annouced them as "Madonna's favorite band." By god we weren't going to let Madonna tell us what to like, so we went to get nachos. Now I'm bitter cuz I didn't see Erasure.
I saw Duran Duran on one of their comeback tours with James opening. The place got on it's FEET when James took the stage. My friends and I were like, "Who?". Then they all sat while we danced and screamed for Duran Duran.
I think it's exciting that now, Duran Duran has kind of sloughed off the "comeback tour" thing and are now, just DURAN DURAN on tour and every one is excited. They were exactly as brilliant and fun when I saw them last year as they were when I was 16, and I can't wait to see them again tonight at Chastain park.
A bubblegum pop band that really wasn't one at all, they truly did stand the test of time.
Tonight at Chastain Park at 8pm - it's DURAN DURAN ! I can't wait!

I thought that #1 really hit home when it comes to the importance of using such (often thought silly) things like System.Environment.NewLine and System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar. If there's a constant in the Framework, it's usually there for a reason.Rule #1: Never, ever, ever use the \ to seperate directories when doing any file I/O. Instead, use the System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar constant. This translates directly over to the *nix world and makes for a smooth transition in Mono.Rule #2: Just as most of us have learned case sensitivity in .NET, carry this forward to your file I/O operations, again, and make sure all files and directories are case sensitive. Rule #3: Make sure you don't compile your assemblies with the /incremental flag. Mono can't support incremental compilation. For more details on what "incremental compilation".

Painting Stainless Steel
I was interested in your solution for painting the stainless steel medicine cabinet, but I was hoping you would also include the "government job" solution done at work.
#pollutioncontrol #basics
I was interested in your solution for painting the stainless steel medicine cabinet, but I was hoping you would also include the "government job" solution done at work. I, too, had to paint stainless steel. This is what I did and I am curious if you think it was right. I built a SS rudder for a 40-ft sailboat after the second fiberglass one broke apart. Then, after I had sanded and faired it out, I warmed it up and painted it with hydrofluoric acid to etch it, rinsed it and painted it with a wash primer. That was coated with a gel coat epoxy primer. Could I have eliminated the acid etch and just used the wash primer, or vice versa? B. C.
Yes, your finish procedure was right but perhaps a bit risky. Stainless steel is relatively inert, hence paint adhesion could be a problem. Paint adhesion to stainless steel is enhanced by using pretreatments. Hydrofluoric acid etching is a pretreatment. Surface abrasion is a pretreatment. Wash primers are also pretreatments. I don't like to recommend hydrofluoric acid etches because of the safety hazard. It must always be used under controlled conditions. Fortunately, you did not suffer any damage since you did it at work, hopefully under controlled conditions. When people use dangerous chemicals, I generally issue the following caveat: "Don't do this at home kids!"
Now to answer your question, you can eliminate the hydrofluoric acid if you roughen the surface by abrading. This can be done by sanding, wire brushing or media blasting. It is important to note that the first step in any pretreatment is surface degreasing. After degreasing and abrading, apply the wash primer as soon as possible. After the wash primer has dried, the topcoat or gel coat can be applied. Since you are using stainless steel and corrosion is not a major issue, you can eliminate a corrosion resistant primer. Otherwise, a corrosion resistant primer such as a two-component epoxy should be applied over the wash primer and before the topcoat.

text: From 'Caps to Cottbus - The Province November 28, 200812:00AM PST Previous Next Thriving in the German Bundesliga Marc Weber Adam Straith hopes to have his own Hoffenheim tale to tell one day. The Victoria-raised central defender is currently on loan from the Whitecaps residency program to FC Energie Cottbus's under-19 team in Germany, and the first big-time Bundesliga match he went to see featured Hoffenheim, the rags-to-riches village side that once toiled in the eighth tier. "They're an incredible team and the whole story is great," said Straith, who dreams of a rise from the relative obscurity of Canadian youth leagues to the biggest international soccer stages. The former Lower Island Metro player appears to be making his mark. Thanks to Whitecaps residency director Thomas Niendorf's German connections, Straith was among five Whitecaps youth players to get a look with Cottbus in mid-July. He stuck, along with midfielder/forward Kyle Porter and defender Greg Smith. Paperwork kept the trio out of the lineup for the first three games, but Straith and Porter have been mainstays since then. For what it's worth, Cottbus started 0-3 and was outscored 10-2. They've since gone 5-2, outscoring teams 13-6. "I wouldn't say it's just me and Kyle," said Straith, "but it's been good. Watching the team struggle when we couldn't play was tough, and now we've helped turn it around." These are certainly exciting times for Straith. Two weeks ago he was named to Canada's under-20 roster for its Switzerland camp and he started, and scored, in a Wednesday friendly against the Swiss. Canada's under-20s are gearing up for the March CONCACAF championship and, if all goes as planned, the FIFA U20 World Cup in the fall. "It was a pleasant surprise," Straith said of being named to the camp roster. "It was in the back of my mind but I couldn't say I was expecting it. Playing for your country is always something you think about." The biggest adjustments to life in Germany, he said, were being so far from his family (and not having Internet in his residence to communicate with them easily), learning the language (he takes German lessons two hours a day), and getting used to the food ("It's a lot of bratwurst. We buy our own food.") He lives with his Whitecaps teammates, though, as well as former University of Alberta player Eddy Sidra, who is with Cottbus's amateur team, and that has eased the transition. He's also been able to experience something he never could in Canada -- watching half a dozen Bundesliga games live, including a Cottbus clash with Berlin in front of 60,000 fans. "It's incredible," he said. "Just really exciting and inspiring to see the whole atmosphere." In a smaller way, the Whitecaps residency program has been to Straith what Dietmar Hopp, the big-money backer, has been to Hoffenheim. Straith said the technical and professional aspects of the Whitecaps residency program have prepared him exceptionally for the transition to Europe. The biggest difference, he noted, is the day-in, day-out level of competition. "It's being able to [deliver] perfection every weekend," he said of the increased demands in Europe. "That's one thing we're lacking in Canada, especially at the youth level -- getting the high-level youth games every weekend." And those high-level games are giving Straith high hopes that his personal Hoffenheim story can continue. © The Vancouver Province 2008 Previous Next

NEW LONDON — A woman convicted twice of drunken driving got her third strike — sort of — at a trial Tuesday in New London Superior Court.
After a three-hour trial in front of Judge Barbara Jongbloed, a six-member jury found Patricia Cairns, 52, formerly of East Lyme, guilty of driving with a suspended license. Then, in a second part of the trial, the jurors declared Cairns a "subsequent offender," meaning they found that she had been convicted twice before of drunken driving.
Because of that status, Cairns faces a prison sentence of between one and three years when she is sentenced.
A Norwich police officer arrested Cairns on the evening of April 5. She was charged with drunken driving, interfering with an officer and driving with a suspended license.
The drunken driving and interfering with an officer charges were not part of the trial.
Officer Keven McNeill testified that he was on patrol on West Thames Street shortly after 11:30 p.m. when he spotted Cairns' Ford Taurus weaving in front of his cruiser. Then, he said, the car drove onto the sidewalk as it made a right turn onto South Thames Street and pulled into the parking lot of a condominium complex, nearly hitting a parked car as it came to a stop.
McNeill said Cairns, who was alone in the car, left it and "stumbled" toward him. The officer said he ordered her to get back in her car, but she continued forward and "began yelling profanities at me."
McNeill said he stopped Cairns by grabbing her elbow and arrested her.
Cairns told a much different story when she testified in her own defense. She said a friend she knows only as Rodney gave her a ride in her car from her home in Uncasville to Norwich complex where she has some furniture stored that she wanted to move.
At about 8:30 p.m. that night, Cairns said, Rodney was given a ride by a friend of his to the friend's home nearby in order to get the friend's truck to use in the move.
About 15 minutes later, Cairns testified, "I was standing out in the back (of the condominiums), and I saw two police cruisers pull in."
McNeill was in one of the cruisers, she said. "That's when he came after me. … I really didn't know what was going on. … He grabbed my arm, and he put the handcuffs on."
Jurors deliberated less than an hour before finding Cairns guilty.
Cairns was convicted of drunken driving in 2002 and 2010. She also was convicted of driving with a suspended license in 2004.
She is currently serving a two-year prison sentence after being found in October to have violated her probation for the 2010 conviction.

2 county employees reprimanded over 'ghost camera'
BUTTE, Mont. (AP) -- Two county employees in Montana have been reprimanded after a motion-activated camera was installed in a little-used room in the health department in the hopes of capturing paranormal activity.
Butte-Silver Bow County Chief Executive Matt Vincent tells The Montana Standard (http://bit.ly/1csYzzC ) that an internal investigation found that no crimes had been committed.
A memo about the investigation from Interim Human Resources Director Penny McElroy says a health department employee thought it would be fun to have the Butte Paranormal Investigative Team see if there was any paranormal activity in the building. Members of the paranormal group say they forgot it when they left.
An employee who noticed the camera on Aug. 21 was worried that someone was spying on employees and turned the camera over to police.

'Falcon' still flies high at age 75
'The Maltese Falcon,' directed by John Huston and arguably the first film noir, turns 75 this year. To honor that milestone, the movie will screen in select cities nationwide on Sunday, Feb. 21, and Wednesday, Feb. 24. TCM and Fandango are presenting the Warner Bros. film. It's the stuff that dreams are made of.
The Maltese Falcon/1941/Warner Bros./100 min.
"The Maltese Falcon," a spectacularly entertaining and iconic crime film, holds the claim to many firsts.
It's a remarkable directorial debut by John Huston, who also wrote the screenplay. It's considered by many critics to be the first film noir. (Another contender is "Stranger on the Third Floor" see below.) It was the first vehicle in which screen legend Humphrey Bogart and character actor Elisha Cook Jr. appeared together – breathing life into archetypal roles that filled the noir landscape for decades to come.
It was veteran stage actor Sydney Greenstreet's first time before a camera and the first time he worked with Peter Lorre. The pair would go on to make eight more movies together. Additionally, "Falcon," an entry on many lists of the greatest movies ever made, was one of the first films admitted to the National Film Registry in its inaugural year, 1989.
Based on a novel by Dashiell Hammett, Huston's "Falcon" is the third big-screen version of the story (others were in 1931 and 1936) and it's by far the best. Huston follows Hammett's work to the letter, preserving the novel's crisp, quick dialogue. If a crime movie can be described as jaunty, this would be it. Huston's mighty achievement earned Oscar noms for best adapted screenplay, best supporting actor (Greenstreet) and best picture.
According to former New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther: "The trick which Mr. Huston has pulled is a combination of American ruggedness with the suavity of the English crime school – a blend of mind and muscle – plus a slight touch of pathos."
A few more of Huston's tricks include striking compositions and camera movement, breathtaking chiaroscuro lighting, and a pins-and-needles atmosphere of excitement and danger. (Arthur Edeson was the cinematographer; Thomas Richards served as film editor.)
For the few who haven't seen "Falcon," it's a tale of ruthless greed and relentless machismo centered around the perfect marriage of actor and character: Humphrey Bogart as private detective Sam Spade – the ultimate cynical, streetwise, I-did-it-my-way '40s alpha-male. As famed noir author Raymond Chandler once put it: "All Bogart has to do to dominate a scene is to enter it." Bogart appears in just about every scene in "Falcon."
As Spade, he sees through the malarkey, cuts to the chase and commands every situation, even when the odds are stacked against him. At one point he breaks free of a heavy, disarms him and points the guy's own gun at him, all while toking on his cig. He's equally adept at using wisecracks and one-liners to swat away the cops, who regularly show up at his door.
Mary Astor plays leading lady Brigid O'Shaughnessy to Bogart's Sam Spade and it is she who sets the story in motion when she walks into Spade's San Francisco office. Brigid asks Spade and his partner Miles Archer (Jerome Cowan) to trail a man named Thursby who, she says, is up to no good with her sister. They accept the job and Archer takes the first shift of following Thursby. Next morning, Archer's dead. Turns out that Brigid doesn't have a sister and Archer's widow (Gladys George) has the hots for Spade.
Spade's ultra-reliable and resourceful secretary, Effie (Lee Patrick) is the one gal he can trust and it's clear she means the world to him. At one point he tells her, "you're a good man, sister," which in Spade-speak is a downright gushfest. He might like the look of Brigid and her little finger, but he won't be wrapped around it anytime soon.
Astor, a Hollywood wild child of her time, who left a long string of husbands and lovers in her wake and generated much fodder for the tabloids, was brilliant casting for the part of bad-girl Brigid O. True to form, Astor allegedly was having an affair with Huston during the making of the film.
There is no doubt that Bogart owns this guy's-guy male-fantasy picture, but Astor and the stellar support cast are unforgettable in their roles. As a good-luck gesture to his son, John, actor Walter Huston plays the part of the old sea captain. Peter Lorre drips malevolence as the effeminate and whiny Joel Cairo, and he has a foreign accent, which in Hollywood is usually shorthand for: he's a bad'un.
Making his film debut at 61, Greenstreet's Kasper Gutman is both debauched and debonair, a refined reprobate with a jolly cackle and tubby physique (he was more than 350 pounds!). Warner Bros. had to make an entire wardrobe for Greenstreet; Bogart wore his own clothes to save the studio money. One more Bogart contribution was adding the line: "The stuff that dreams are made of" at the end of the film, paraphrasing a line in "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare.
And honing the sort of performance that would become his trademark, Elisha Cook Jr. stamps the character of warped thug Wilmer Cook with code for "psycho" (darting eyes, bubbling rage, edgy desperation) as if it were a neon light attached to his forehead.
Much has been written about the homosexual subtext of the Cairo, Gutman and Cook characters – I will just say they're all part of the flock that covets and vies for possession the falcon, a jewel-laden statue of a bird that's the treasure at the core of this tense and serpentine story. When it's suggested that Wilmer Cook be sacrificed for the good of the gang, Greenstreet's Kasper Gutman explains that, though Wilmer is like a son, "If you lose a son, it's possible to get another. There's only one Maltese Falcon."
Though there were two other celluloid versions of Hammett's story, in my view, there's only one "Maltese Falcon" and this is it.

ERs face a new urgency - Los Angeles Times
As emergency room visits in the United States have ticked steadily upward, reaching 119.2 million annually, waiting for treatment has become a central feature of emergency-department care.Since the "walking wounded" are generally the easiest, fastest and most profitable cases in the ER, it behooves a hospital to have a functioning fast track to shuffle them through quickly. It decompresses the waiting room, improves patient satisfaction, and frees up resources for the truly ill.
Patients spend an average of 3.3 hours to be seen, treated and discharged, according to a 2006 report by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. [...] Instead, a growing number appear to be voting with their feet. Those walk-in patients are fueling the growth of a kind of healthcare provider now making a comeback -- the urgent care center -- and at some hospitals, a flurry of efforts to improve the ER experience.
Urgent care centers have the ability to skim off only the paying patients, since they have no EMTALA obligation, and some are well-equipped with all the ancillary tests available at an ER -- up to and including CT scans. In fact, the ancillary tests are the profit centers of an UCC, with the clinic itself being something of a loss leader. It's an attractive option for patients -- cheaper, faster, more service oriented. It's probably better policy on a national scale, since it's a better use of resources. But if all the fast track patients leave the ERs and go to UCCs, then something would have to change. Some new source of funding would have to be found to support the newly financially unviable ERs.

Rusty Hampton, of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger says this picture of Brett Favre—offensive coordinatin' for the Oak Grove Something Or Others—shows the Ol' Gunslinger voicing some displeasure with the referee in the foreground.
But really, there could be any number of reasons why offensive coordinator Brett Favre is upset. Maybe his playbook ("Go deep.") is too complicated for his high school charges and they keep screwing up. Maybe his head coach is named Rodgers McCarthy. Maybe he was driving to the game that night and some asshole cut him off so he had to jam on the brakes and his wife said "I really hate that you have a small penis."
It could be anything.

Indigenous to the Andean highlands, luxurious alpaca wool is highly prized for its warmth, strength, and lightweight texture. Alpacas have been bred for thousands of years for both their meat and fleece, and comprise a large component of traditional South American culture. The Inca civilization was primarily based in textiles made from alpaca wool, making the fabric an integral part of the rich history of the Andes.
Each piece from Artesania Sorata is made by hand in Bolivia. The female artisans dye the wool by hand using natural dyes made from local ingredients, such as walnut leaves, thola, and cochineal. The natural dyes are environmentally friendly, sustainable, and soft on the wool. With this soft yarn, the artisans knit each piece by hand. Each artisan has a unique style, and often adds embroidered patterns inspired by traditional weavings, geometric symbols, animals, or birds.

They dedicate their lives to their religion and follow the Rule of Saint Benedict, which focuses on "opus dei", or "the work of God". Nevertheless, the Benedictine nuns move with the times; they are open-minded and receptive towards all who ask about the meaning of life. At Eibingen Abbey near Rüdesheim, you can take all the time in the world in your quest for the answer to this question.
Their ten commandments from the Decalogue for Daily Living are a revelation in a time of such great uncertainty. Those wishing to explore this aspect at Eibingen Abbey are welcome to do so in the convent, which also has a guest house. As a matter of fact, slowing down is the order of the day here. As soon as visitors step foot in the Abbey Church of St. Hildegard, the soft colours of the murals – typical of the Beuron Art School – instil a sense of peace. The five panels telling the story of the life of Hildegard of Bingen, patron saint of the abbey, are striking. The depiction of Christ in the apse above the altar, the gem-encrusted crucifix in the centre behind the altar and the precious lamp symbolising eternal light impress visitors with their elegant beauty. The abbey library, which holds more than 50,000 books, also features works from the Beuron Art School.
The first Benedictine nuns moved into the abbey in 1904. They have lived through turbulent times as a result of the two World Wars, and are now actively getting involved in the abbey, be it in the restoration and ceramics workshop or in the goldsmiths. They also work in the abbey garden, vineyard, shop and café, always abiding by the words of Pope John XXIII's Decalogue for Daily Living: "Don't take on too much. A peaceful, calm search for good is all you need: every day, every hour, without going to extremes, with patience."
Accommodation: full-board guest house
Nearest train station: Mainz
The abbey organises seminars, exhibitions, pilgrimage packages and private retreats

by Cecile Oreste, Media Relations Specialist, Business Wire/DC
Business Wire hosted a Meet the Richmond Media event recently at the Ramada Plaza West in Richmond, Va. More than 50 public relations and communications professionals were in attendance to hear from a media panel discussion moderated by Business Wire client Jon Newman of The Hodges Partnership. The panel included:
– Scott Bass, News Editor at Style Weekly
– Rachel DePompa, Richmond Reporter at NBC12
– Gregory Gilligan, Business Editor at the Richmond Times-Dispatch
– Susan Winiecki, Editor in Chief and Associate Publisher of Richmond Magazine
In addition to talking about news gathering techniques and tools, the panel discussed the role of press releases in the news industry, new technologies and how they have affected journalism, and current topics of interest in Richmond. Here are some tips and takeaways from the discussion:
1) Personalize your pitch – According to Scott Bass of Style Weekly, e-mails that include "For Immediate Release" are immediately deleted. Tailor your pitch to help cut through the clutter. A great way to engage a reporter is to reference a previous article. He also recommends including contact names, phone numbers and availability for multiple sources in your press release.
2) Be cognizant of deadlines – Reporters are filing stories at the end of the day so don't call late in the afternoon, said Gregory Gilligan of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. He suggests trying them early morning and also including bullet points of key information in your press release.
3) Develop a relationship – According to Susan Winiecki of Richmond Magazine, press releases are only the start of the conversation. Schedule meetings to learn about the publication and its editorial calendar, and also to inform reporters about your clients.
4) Think about the visuals – Broadcast reporters need time to create visuals for their stories, said Rachel DePompa of NBC12. Give at least a day's notice for events if you want to be covered. Also leave time after press conferences for reporters to conduct interviews. They need original sound bites for their coverage.
Business Wire Senior Account Executive Michael Toner also compiled a recap of the event that includes audience and panelist tweets. To see the story, click here.

I have been working on the Humanoid Robot Simulation project for quite a while now and I have some difficulties linking exported model from Solidworks and Catia into my project and linking them with bullet physics engine.
In order to do that I used Collada Export plugin in Solidworks to export my model and import it in bullet engine, however it did not work. Kinematics and articulated systems and mess of objects was distorted, for example the mass of objects were zero and all the rigid bodies were static. Also it could not recognize any of model's joints.
Does Colloda Export plugin have any problem exporting models or is it Bullet which can not import the Collada exported model?
I have to say that I used the Collada 1.4, since I have heard there is some problem in exporting kinematics and articulated systems which are solved in collada 1.5, is it correct?
I tried Blender too, I exported wrl and stl files from solidworks and gave them to Blender, then I used the .bullet file exported from Blender in my program. Unfortunately it could not recognize kinematics and articulated systems and mess of objects.
Does solidworks export these properties to wrl or stl files?
And is Blender capable of importing these properties from wrl or stl files?
In order to get better view of what is going on I created a simple model in solidworks and exported it to Blender. I used triangleMesh for modeling the rigid bodies. The problem with Blender was the rotation of the joints, they did not rotate with specific pivot points that I had entered.
I imported the .bullet file from Blender into my project. But Bullet just ignored some of rigid bodies and deleted them, gave following error:
"Overflow in AABB, object removed from simulation
If you can reproduce this, please email email@example.com
Please include above information, your Platform, version of OS."
After doing all this I came to ask this and appreciate it if you could answer me, is there any way which you can export the Solidwokrs or Catia model into Bullet correctly?
And more importantly is Bullet a proper tool for simulating these kind of project (Humanoid Robot Simulation)?
I mean if you could import the model correctly into the Bullet, can Bullet simulate these model similar to the real physical objects?
Can Blender import Solidworks model completely?

Re: Can Blender import Solidworks model completely?
It will be difficult to transfer such data from Solidworks to Bullet.

Just like fruits and vegetables, electronics have seasons – months when they're ripe for the picking or well past their prime. Sure, new TVs are available year-round, but good prices and fresh features often bloom just a few times a year. Good thing that television-set season is right around the corner.
"Certainly, some things are seasonal," says Brian Lam, editor of TheWirecutter.com, an ever-updating list of specific tech recommendations. Mr. Lam digs into devices – tablets, printers, juicers – and awards a "best of" for each group.
He says that several gadget categories stay dormant for long periods of time. Early in that phase, shoppers can make well-informed decisions about which item is right for them. But as the months roll by, most people are better off waiting.
"For certain items, it's worth saying, 'Don't buy this stuff right now,' " says Lam.
With spring winding down, here's a buyer's guide to which gadgets are in season and which to avoid.
Televisions: Nearly ripe. TVs are one of the most seasonal devices. Prices dip during the winter holidays and rise right before the Super Bowl. But if you're in the market for a TV now, Lam says that you should wait until the end of May.
By then, most of the 2012 lineup will be on store shelves and in the hands of reviewers.
Overall, 2012 seems to be a good year to buy a television. "The price of TVs has never been better," says Steve Koenig, director of industry analysis at the Consumer Electronics Association.
Now that most families have already upgraded to high-definition TVs, Mr. Koenig says that manufacturers have seen a dramatic slump in sales over the past few years. In an effort to boost their bottom lines, companies are packing in more features and cutting prices.
"For the same price as last year's mid-tier model, you're getting something that's better than last year's flagship," says Lam. "These engineers are doing their job."
Laptops: Out of season. In the next few months, both Macs and PCs will receive major upgrades.
This summer, Intel will release its next generation of processors, code-named Ivy Bridge.
Processors "make up the heart and soul of the computer, and Ivy Bridge will be an efficiency leap," says Lam. "A little bit faster. Better battery life. And a little cooler [for the same price as Intel's current chips]. Really, there are no drawbacks."
The new processors will likely go inside many Apple and Windows computers.
This year also brings new operating systems for both PCs and Macs. Windows 8, due this fall, represents a major overhaul. Microsoft says that it designed the new software to run well on both desktops and touch-screen tablets. For example, it stripped out the Start button, a Windows staple for more than 17 years. In its place stands a new full-screen grid of large, colorful icons that display Facebook updates, report the weather, and provide quick access to applications.
Apple's new operating system is a much smaller step forward. Mountain Lion continues Apple's trend of integrating features from iPhones and iPads into traditional computers. It will debut this summer.
iPhone: Past its prime. Predicting Apple's release schedule is a favorite parlor game among the tech press. Forecasts point to everything from June (Apple's usual iPhone release window) to next October (when the last one came out).
Since the current model is a minor improvement over the now two-year-old iPhone 4, Lam expects that the 2012 iPhone will be worth the wait.
Other smart phones: Always fresh. Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phones don't stick to an annual cycle. New phones debut all the time.
Some people may want to wait until their hometown gets upgraded to a speedy 4G wireless network, but the rollout differs from carrier to carrier and city to city.
Tablets: In season. Both of Lam's preferred tablets remain fresh today.
His personal favorite, the Apple iPad, received a major update in March. The new model features powerful hardware, an unsurpassed catalog of applications, and a super-crisp screen that rivals the detail of magazines.
TheWirecutter recommends Amazon's Kindle Fire as the "best cheap tablet." It's a modest tablet compared with the iPad but sports a fantastic price tag: $199.
E-readers: Evergreen. E-reader hardware doesn't change much year to year.
New models introduce tiny improvements, but the real decision comes down to the Amazon Kindle or the Barnes & Noble Nook.
"You're not buying a device. You're buying an ecosystem," says Lam. Both Amazon and Barnes & Noble save your library of e-books online, so past purchases follow you from one device to another – but not from one brand to another.
Without some serious finagling, Kindle e-books won't work on a Nook, and vice versa.
Now that both companies have priced their black-and-white e-readers under $100, Lam says that shoppers need not stress over whether the devices are in-season. They're evergreen.

One of the biggest bummers of all the Republican rape talk this election cycle is that it's distracted from Republican witch talk, which is much less rage inducing and much more hilarious. At the end of a stressful day, I like to unwind by watching old Christine O'Donnell videos where she talks about Satan, and now, I've got a new entertaining paranoid conservative to add to my conservative witch talk ridiculousness playlist — Massachusetts State Senate candidate Sandi Martinez, who believes, among other things, that the Smurfs and Care Bears are turning Our Children into a bunch of babyslicing witches.
Before she was running for State Senate with the worst campaign website since Mindy Meyer's Pepto Bismol nightmare, Martinez hosted a public access show on local cable during the 1980's and 1990's. And yes, it's just as amazing as it sounds.
"On her cable access show in 2004, Martinez warned that trick-or-treating, Harry Potter books, and the "new age images" presented in 1980s-era programming such as "The Smurfs" and "The Care Bears" could destigmatize the occult and leave children vulnerable to the lure of witchcraft.
"To me, that's what the Harry Potter thing is doing, only in a much broader scale than the Smurfs ever did," she said. "The children are going to remember those feelings that they had watching the movies and reading the books, and they're going to be prime targets." "
You don't even want to know what she had to say about the Holograms — Jem, she's fine with; it's those Holograms that are teaching children that it's okay to appear to be 3 dimensional when in fact you are only a projection.

Looking to earn a rate of return on your money that beats the market by a longshot? Well join the crowd.
"People are falling on hard times, they are seeing offers that quite frankly look too good to be true and out of desperation they are falling for them," explained U.S. Postal Inspector Michael Romano.
That's where James Price enters the picture. Inspectors say he offered to double and triple investors' money in the gold and precious metals market.
"He started off with a very legitimate based company and was actually returning investments to his customers," said Romano.
But at some point, Price used his company, Madison Precious Metals, as a personal checkbook.
"Basically pays off his house, very high end antiques, luxury cars for him and himself and makes a down payment on a house for his son," said Romano.
More than $6 million was stolen from investors. Postal Inspectors say be suspicious of any investment promising double and triple returns.
"These are unrealistic promises of returns on investment. Anyone who sees something along those lines should right off the bat be wary of investing in such a scheme," Romano warned.
Also, if you think you are a victim of a scam, report it.
"Don't waste time. The sooner you can inform law enforcement of the scam the investigation can start and we can try to stop some of the fraudulent investments going on," advised Romano.
James Price pleaded guilty to mail fraud. He was sentenced to four years in prison and ordered to pay more than $4 million in restitution.

I played Final Fantasy X all the way up to the end boss and loved upgrading my characters by activating nodes in the game's massive, complicated sphere grid. Little did I know that the sphere grid was really a group of primarily straight lines that masquerade as something more convoluted.
FFX is an attractive game that proceeds at a brisk clip. It's fun and considered one of the better Final Fantasy games, full of interesting, likable character and visually-impressive scenes. Its sphere grid is a signature element and one that I could have sworn represented how complex player's choices could be as they upgraded their party of characters.
Chad Birch at GameInternals untangled that grid, and discovered that its 828 nodes are really, primarily just a series of linear progression points. You can't branch from one upgrade to another as often as the sphere grid makes it seem, he writes:
"As it turns out, normal traversal of the grid is actually extremely linear. Multiple characters have stretches of over 50 nodes without any branches at all. Yuna's section does not really even include a single practical choice during her initial pass through it. Most of the interesting decisions on the sphere grid will be made with the special Spheres that allow you to warp to a different location, but those are quite rare, and a player will likely only acquire 2 or 3 of them in the entire main game."
Here's why that matters (emphasis added by Kotaku):
Because it is a character-improvement system, you are encouraged to use it whenever your characters gain any sphere levels, so you typically only make a few moves at a time. If you choose to save up many sphere levels before using them, you are forcing your characters to be weaker than they technically should be, so most players will not do this. Since moves are not being made in one long stretch, it is much less obvious how long it has been since you have had to make a choice, and the path certainly doesn't "feel" straight due to the node layout.
Head over to Birch's full post to see the rest of his analysis and to look at the massive reproductions he's done of the sphere grid, in tangled and surprising untangled form.

This article is part of our NBA Weekly Player Rankings series.
This is our weekly cheat sheet based on a player's projected output and number of games. It assumes an eight-category league with the following categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, three-pointers made, free-throw percentage and field-goal percentage.
These are my rankings. They do not necessarily correspond with the RotoWire cheat sheet or our projections for the season. I use both as a rough guide, but I primarily factor in number of games played for the week, current player trends and pertinent information about the team (injuries, time share situations, etc). The rankings take into account games played Monday through Saturday. We will try to update the meter with any breaking news that happens on Sunday, but in most cases, any injuries, lineup changes, etc. that happen on Sunday won't be accounted for in the rankings until the following week.
Four Games: UTA, TOR, SAS, SAC, POR, PHO, PHI, OKC, NYK, NO, MIL, MEM, LAC, DET, DEN, CLE, CHA, BOS, BKN, ATL
Three Games: WAS, ORL, MIN, MIA, LAL, IND, HOU, GSW, DAL, CHI

Greetings, and Dear Cynthia,
We spent the past week in DC (Door County) on Wisconsin's peninsula...which is north and east of the city of Green Bay on this map:Sunday, July 25, 12:00pm: Decide to start a new shawl as a "vacation project" and see how far I can get on it during the relaxing week away from home; envision that it will *almost be completed* by the time I return home on Friday.
12:30pm: Begin knitting Ene's Scarf, because I've always wanted to knit a triangular shawl which begins at the outside edges (longest rows) and works its way toward the middle (shortest rows), and this will be perfect vacation knitting.2:30pm, during stop in Ripon WI: Decide that we will get our Christmas card photo at some point during this vacation. Manage to take "self portrait" on park swing (I hold camera at arms length "backwards" and the four of us huddle together to try to all fit into the picture) which appears to have all four of us captured in it and might be cute for our Christmas cards. Upon closer examination, realize that ten year old was sticking his tongue out in the photo. Consider that the week is just beginning, and there will be many other photo opportunities.
6:00pm, still en route to DC: Start to question whether or not the lace on my Ene's Scarf is "popping" the way it should; realize that I did not bring any needles which are larger diameter to fix the problem and so continue knitting with the existing needles hoping that the holes will "pop" more after I've knit a few more rows.
Realize this is a futile proposition and set Ene's Scarf aside to re-start after I get home in a week. Fortunately I brought along enough sock yarn to keep me going...
Monday, July 26, 4:30am: Awaken via my kids, who decided that I would enjoy driving to the other side of the peninsula to watch the sun rise over Lake Michigan on this day, my birthday. Get up and quickly dress without showering; realize that I will have bad hair all day as a result of no morning grooming, and determine that Christmas card photo-op probably will not occur today. Enjoy the sunrise with my family -- really lovely.
Receive scarf from ten year old which he knit using a loom and which is my birthday present -- also really lovely:
6:30am: Since we're already up anyway, drive to Peninsula State Park and bike 9.6 miles. Note that I am the only one in our party of four having a crate on my bike rack, so my *bike* is very popular when it is snack time, or when a map is required, or when clothing is doffed and cannot be carried by youngster while riding on his bike:9:00am: Enjoy watching my two boys skip stones into the Green Bay of Lake Michigan. Wonder how a ten year old can skip a stone six or seven times and a 46 year old can only manage to throw it into the water so that it disappears on the first "plop."
Spend the afternoon swimming in a pool, and then playing at the beach. Have a nice dinner at Shipwrecked - a brewery/restaurant a few blocks from where we are staying. Best birthday ever!
Tuesday, July 27: Get up and run four miles, because that is what my new 10K training program says I must do on Tuesdays. Take shower, blow dry hair. Don baseball cap and spend the morning at a farm. Spend afternoon on another beach; hike and get caught in the rain. No Christmas card photo-ops today because hair is a mess. Plan to make s'mores and have "family movie night" in hotel room in the evening. Start setting out s'mores ingredients and wonder what can be used for marshmallow skewers. Note that weather is again beginning to look ominous. Place marshmallows on forks and roast over electric stove:Wednesday, July 28: Get up and run three miles. Shower, and realize that styling my hair in the morning is no match for my bike helmet, baseball cap, and wind, so decide to stop blow-drying hair. Throw head-band on wet hair and apply sunscreen for another day of biking at a "wilderness" state park. Get attacked by mosquitoes; make futile attempt to deter them by spraying on two layers of bug repellant. Thoroughly enjoy early evening showing of "Life on the Mississippi" (with live music) at American Folklore Theater in the woods.
Thursday, July 29: Get up and run four miles. Figure out that there is no shampoo in the middle of taking a shower, so use bar soap to clean hair instead. Reflect that it doesn't really matter, anyway, because hair is low on priority scale when playing in nature. Return to Peninsula State Park and hike trail having rating of "difficult"; be amazed that I was able to contain my fear of heights, and be equally amazed that my kids having legs much shorter than mine were able to navigate the rocky cliff-side paths carefully and safely:
8:00pm: Attend amazing Big Band program at Birch Creek Music Performance Center featuring music instructors from all over the country playing awesome big band tunes together -- So awesome, and great fun!
Friday, July 30: Drive home from Door County, knitting most of the way. Analyze knitting progress for the week and figure out that I managed to knit roughly half of one sock in the past five days. I know -- WOW...
Feel fortunate for having had a nice vacation with lots of fun diversions which aren't so accessible at home. Unpack, get laundry started, and get ready to relax with one of my souvenirs -- A Cherry Wheat Ale from Shipwrecked. They put cherries in everything in Door County...
I hope everybody had a great week!
Warm regards,
Laura (YarnThrower)

This past weekend I ran in a very small 5k at Angels Stadium. The Angels are my 'team' so I was pretty excited about this race because I heard we ran through Angels Stadium. Now, I didn't know exactly what the course entailed, and there was no course map that I really could tell where we were going. It was three miles around the parking lot for the most part, which was boring and pretty hard on the old knees, BUT we did run THROUGH angel stadium and it was one of of the coolest things ever. I got the honor of running with Ann Gaffigan, the founder of Women Talk Sports. The girl is quick and just had a baby 10 weeks ago. I am also super excited because I think we are going to run some of our long runs together. She is training for the Chicago Marathon which is the same day at the Marathon in Long Beach. The girl is quick and it was fun to talk about all thing sports. Can't wait for some of our long runs!
So got up early with Mr. R who also decided to run the race!!!! Super exciting for me! He was going to run with another one of our friends, who was going to 'race' the race until he got hurt during training. It was fun to see a bunch of people I knew and then before I knew it, the race was starting up. We lined up closer to the front of the corral and the megaphone went off. Sometimes I forget how fun smaller races are.
We started out around and around the parking lot. I didn't know if we were actually going to make it into the stadium as it seemed to be all locked up. I also didn't know what running through the 'stadium' would entail. We ran through the big "A" around mile 1.5, and then I saw that we were going onto the field! We ran through a tunnel that I think the carts go through and we were literally on the field at the Stadium! It was the coolest thing ever! We ran all the way around the baseline where the batters circle is and everything. Sadly I didn't run with my camera this time, but I took pictures after the race.
Ann and I finished up and even placed in our Age Group. I won my age group, which I'm pretty surprised about. I missed them calling my name though because I was inside the stadium taking pictures.
This is the "Big A" we ran through the underneath part of it. This was also where the 1 lone water stop was along the course. It was fun to run through the "Big A" and also, it was a great weekend as the "halo" was lit up all weekend with a sweep of the Twins! The halo around the top of the A gets lit up when the Angels win!
This was the majority of the race. Around concrete barriers and around caution tape. It was very well marked and easy to follow though. Unfortunately one bummer was the fact that they didn't have any mile markers. The course, besides being boring was pretty simple and the people on the course told us what way to go.
This was the tunnel we ran down to get onto the field. Right after we ran back to get my camera, they closed the tunnel door. Once I ran out of this tunnel and onto the field, I felt like I could take on the world! It's such a high and I bet I would about have a heart attack if the stands were filled.
We ran the whole dirt track to the other side of the field and exited the other tunnel. It was the coolest feeling!
See where it's roped off? That's where we ran all the way around the field.
Ann and I after the race! Go Angels! It was the coolest thing ever to run with Ann and to run on the field. I even wore my Angels hat during the race. I tried to channel Aron's cool hat wearing ability.
The winning medal under the 'ball caps' where everyone is gathered. Sad that I missed my name, but it was still fun and I'm glad they didn't give my medal away! Yikes!
Everyone gathering under the ball caps to hear the winners announced. It was nice after the race because it was still overcast so it didn't get too hot quickly.
The race was overall very well organized and easy to get to. Parking was free, there was an ample supply of water and Gatorade at the end, and how many courses can you say run onto a baseball field? Pretty sweet if you ask me. Though the race was small, it was still fun and I'm glad I got to run it this weekend. Also, big shout out to Mr. R and his friend Josh who ran together and both came in around 27 minutes and broke 30 minutes! Hooray! :) My final time was 23:44 or something around there. I forgot to stop Claude.
Tomorrow I'm going to talk about my 16 miler I had yesterday, I have a lot of things to share that really helped me out and I feel like though it wasn't too far in training, I feel like I broke through some mental and physical barriers!

Summary of passages: Psalm 91: He who dwells with God, rests with God. He is my refuge and my fortress. He will save you from death. He will shelter you. His faithfulness will be your shield. You will not fear. A thousand may die beside you but you will be spared as you will see the punishment of the wicked.
If God is your dwelling and refuge, no harm will befall you. His angels will guard you in all ways. You will trample evil. All because you love God and acknowledge Him. God will answer you and be with you in times of trouble.
Matthew 2:
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the Magi (or Three Wise Men) came to Jerusalem to inquire where the king of the Jews was born at so they may worship him. King Herod was disturbed by this news. He asked all the chief priest's where the Messiah was to be born and they responded with the words of the prophet Micah: In Bethlehem in Judah.
Herod called the Magi to him secretly and asked them for the exact time of the appearance of the star. He then sent them to Bethlehem to search for the child and then to report back to him so that he too may go and worship the child.
The wise men leave Herod and continue their journey in search of Christ, using the star as their guide. They arrived at Jesus's house and bowed down and worshipped him. They gave the child gifts of gold, incense, and myrrh. Then they returned home a different way to avoid Herod.
An angel of the Lord warns Joseph to flee Bethlehem for Egypt because Herod is going to try to kill the child. So Mary, Joseph, and Jesus stayed in Egypt until Herod died, returning to fulfill another prophecy in Hosea 11:1.
When Herod realizes the magi have escaped him, he orders all boys in Bethlehem under the age of two killed, fulfilling Jeremiah's prophecy in Jeremiah 31:15.
Once Herod died, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him to return to Israel with Mary and Jesus. Joseph obeyed but settled in a town called Nazareth in Galilee out of fear of Archelaus who was reigning in Judea. This fulfilled what the prophets said that Jesus would be a Nazarene.
10a) God was faithful to all in Matthew 2 because they loved God and acknowledged God and obeyed Him. The Magi were protected from Herod because of God. Joseph and his family was saved from evil because of God.
b) Those who accept God, love God, and acknowledge God. Verse 1: "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High" Verse 9: "If you make the Most High your dwelling" Verse 14: "Because he loves me", meaning those who love God. and "he acknowledges my name". Verse 15: "He will call upon me".
c) Personal Question. My answer: All ways (at least I hope and pray I do). I trust God to lead me to what He wants me to do with my life. I pray for my husband's job to provide for us. I pray for guidance in all things from leading me to the right dog to the right home–the big and the small (well, not so small in the case of my dog) things all require God's guidance.
11a) Personal Question. My answer: Those who obey God when called (the Magi, Joseph, Mary) are rewarded and protected (the Magi from Herod and Joseph from Herod) and provided for and guided to where they need to be (Joseph to Nazareth).
b) Personal Question. My answer: Many throughout childhood as He has led me all over the world into some pretty dodgy circumstances. I feel primarily my role has been in the home (remember I said I led a sheltered life on Day 3) and He has protected me in that sense through obedience to Him. And as I now feel I am called elsewhere, out in the world, I feel He will protect me as I continue to shine His light wherever I go.
Conclusions: Great day of review of the lesson through one of the most powerful Psalms. If you love God and accept Him, then no harm will befall you. Plain and simple.
As I was typing this, one of my cats jumped onto my lap. Just like God cares for us, we care for His creatures (recall the study of Genesis)–even the unwanted ones like my cat who was a rescue. Pets never question where their next meal will come from, where they will move next or if they will be loved the next day. They have faith they will have a home, have food, and have you to take care of them. And they love you unconditionally for it. Similarly, so we must have the same simple faith in God and His ability and desire to care for us in all of our needs. If we love Him unconditionally.

Mae West was all woman," says actress Liz Jahren. "She wasn't afraid to be strong, to be sexy, to speak her mind and tell it like it is—or was. She was a very strong voice at a time when women, and a lot of men, really needed to see that in a woman."
Mae West, who died 30 years ago this year, returns to life courtesy of Jahren (Always Patsy Cline, On the Verge, Well) and the Sixth Street Playhouse, where Claudia Shear's Dirty Blonde opens this weekend. The three-actor play, originally starring its author, was nominated for a Tony award for best play, and also earned acting nominations for all of its performers, one of the very few times in Broadway history that a show's entire cast was nominated.
In this production, directed by Tara Blau, Jahren is joined by Jeff Coté and Paul Huberty. Uniquely structured, the play begins with two hardcore Mae West fans, Jo and Charlie (Jahren and Coté), meeting at West's grave and forming a bond over their mutual appreciation for the legendary actress, playwright and sex symbol. Soon, their budding friendship is interwoven with scenes from West's life, with Jahren shimmying in and out of the role of West, and Coté becoming West's lifelong manager-and-more James Timony, among other characters.
"It's not easy to describe, the way this show is put together," Jahren laughs. "It's about these two characters, these people who loved Mae West, and it follows their relationship as they talk about her—but then it's also about Mae West and what happened to her as she moved from Broadway to Hollywood. It's a tribute to her, but it's also really honest."
For Jahren, the opportunity to portray a character as well known as West—that face, that voice—has not just been challenging as an actress, it's made her think about West's irresistible power as a sex symbol and what that meant for the woman of her day.
"She was fearless," Jahren says. "She was so open-minded, in terms of the people she was friends with and the things she saw as wrong, as prejudiced. She stood up for what she believed in, in ways that seem incredible in light of the censorship and intolerance that were so common when she was first starting out."
Jahren has also been thinking a lot about West's amazing ability to not just be sexy—usually through always acting as if she knew she was sexy, even in her 70s—but to make her co-stars seem sexier too, no matter who they were or what they looked like. After she appeared in the 1940 classic My Little Chickadee, it can perhaps be said that Mae West was the only woman in Hollywood who could even make W. C. Fields seem sexy.
"She just loved men, and it was contagious," Jahren says, "and sometimes that meant that, the more man there was, the more sexy she seemed to think he was. 'Wow, would you look at you—a man!'"
As West, Jahren gets to deliver some of the most famous lines ever uttered—"Why don't you come up some time and see me?"—and learning to speak them in West's instantly identifiable voice has been more of a test than she expected.
"The trick is, I play West at all of these different ages," she explains. "She starts out as this young actress, and by the end, I'm playing her in her 70s, when she didn't have much of a voice left. She was all breath and no power. So I've been watching a lot of Mae West, learning how to do that voice at different times in her life."
One would assume that after all of her preparation, Jahren has come to identify with and more deeply appreciate the power of Mae West.
"How can I not?" she laughs again. "Mae West was, and still is, a truly original American character. She inspires people to this day.
I think that audiences, after they see this show, are going to get a pretty good sense of exactly why she had such an effect on so many people."
'Dirty Blonde' runs Thursday&–Sunday, Feb. 26 through March 21, at the Sixth Street Playhouse. Thursday&–Saturday at 8pm; Saturday and Sunday at 2pm. 52 W. Sixth St., Santa Rosa. $18&–$28. 707.523.4185.
