Former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman, former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, and other notable conservatives have signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to strike down California's anti-gay marriage law Proposition 8.
Such briefs don't usually change how justices will vote on a case, but experts told The New York Times that this might be an exception since so many influential people signed onto the brief, which will be submitted this week.
Tom Goldstein, who publishes the influential SCOTUSBlog, told the Times that the brief could potentially "break through and make a real difference." Goldstein added:
"The person who is going to decide this case, if it's going to be close, is going to be a conservative justice who respects traditional marriage but nonetheless is sympathetic to the claims that this is just another form of hatred. If you're trying to persuade someone like that, you can't persuade them from the perspective of gay rights advocacy."
The conservative justice who might be most easily persuaded could be Justice John Roberts, who surprised everybody with his Obamacare decision.
Justice Antonin Scalia might be the toughest justice to persuade to vote in favor of gay marriage, given his history of making comments and writing opinions that make him come off as very anti-gay.
Head over to The New York Times for more on the Republicans' brief.

A trio of students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has created what they hope is a smarter, faster way to donate to families in need this holiday season.
The three UNC sophomores formed CommuniGift, which allows users to adopt and sponsor disadvantaged families, while also purchasing gifts for their own family and friends.
"We wanted to create a website that not only caters to those intending to give, but also provides a way of giving while fulfilling everyday shopping needs," co-founder Taylor Sharp said.
Users can use the website to find a family to help, read a description of the family and browse items on their wish list. The website links to Amazon.com so users can select the items they want to buy for the families.
The gifts are shipped to the non-profits which are helping the families. Already a charity in Chapel Hill has received a shipment for a family it's collecting for.
Fifteen families are listed on the website so far, and the goal is to have gifts bought for 50.
"This really appeals to those who want the convenience factor. To go on, read about the family online, see what really pulls at their heartstrings, pick the individual items, add it to their cart and check out online in a five minute process," Sharp explained.
A percentage of the sale of those items on Amazon.com will go back to CommuniGift, which plans to give to non-profits.
The website is a for-profit company but plans to give back after operating costs are covered.
It's still in a test period and some non-profits have expressed interest in working with them in the new year after the launch is complete, the founders said.

Pros of the
Golden Diamond Jubilee? Really cool special editions like these stamps celebrating the past 60 years of great British fashion.
TERRA NY from Kubat & Billot on Vimeo.
A look at the British fashion photographer Miles Aldridge's recent images.
Aldridge's subjects for The New Yorker include Louboutin shoes, Zaha Hadid, and 3-D movies—and, this week, Jean Paul Gaultier, for Susan Orlean's profile. A selection of Aldridge's work for Vogue Italia will be on view at Casa Tua during Art Basel Miami Beach in early December.
Two years ago I pestered a New York newsstand daily, waiting for the all-black issue of Vogue Italia. Last summer the only emotion I could muster upon the announcement of Vogue Black, the magazine's website devoted to black beauty, style, celebrities, etc. was a hearty sigh and headache inducing eye roll.
As a fashion enthusiast (another love/hate relationship to be discussed at another time) I appreciate this attempt at diversity, however this "separate, but equal" approach is disheartening. I would love to see a wide representation of beauty spanning different races, ethnicities, ages, and shapes, and preferably without any bell or whistles. I don't want diversity relegated to yearly "Great at any age/shape" issue. Just there all the time, not treated like some trend or artifact (an old woooden ship I believe is the Ron Burgandy definintion). Don't hype it, pimp it, or treat it like a novelty. Make like Nike and just do it.
But I must confess the content on Vogue Black is amazing. I love it. Advice on makeup for dark skin? WHAT! They've highlighted so many amazing women, introduced me to great ideas, art, blogs, books, everything. What I don't understand is why these topics aren't covered in the main Vogue pages.

Evans Monument Company
For many years, our family has designed and built granite headstones, monuments, and mausoleums in cemeteries across the country. The design work is done locally in our offices in Louisville, Kentucky. The finished cemetery monuments are then shipped to their destinations throughout the country.
We understand the importance of family, and we work to create unique memorials that are not only pleasing to the eye but that lovingly tell stories in stone. A properly designed monument or grave marker reflects something of the life, the personality and the contributions of the person for whom it was built. In our eyes, every person who has lived has value and deserves to be remembered with a beautiful monument.
Whether a monument is destined for a local cemetery or if it is being shipped two thousand miles away, it receives the same attention as a memorial headstone would receive if it were being built for a member of our own family.
If you live in the local Louisville area, we invite you to stop by our office at 3204 Bardstown Road at the Watterson Expressway.
If you live outside the local area, you may contact us by e-mail or by telephone, toll-free, at (866) 458-1434.

Cherokee Nation announced it is planning to overhaul area healthcare with five upgraded facilities. That includes replacing or renovating four health clinics and building a new hospital in Tahlequah.
"In this economy, healthcare is more important to our people than anything else," said Principal Chief Bill John Baker. He was one of the speakers at the announcement at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Thursday afternoon.
The project will cost $100 million and will come from Cherokee Nation Businesses' profits. About 75 percent of the Cherokee Nation's profits come from casinos.
There will be a new health center near Ochelata and another in Jay. The Wilma P. Mankiller Health Center in Stilwell and the Redbird Smith Health Center in Sallisaw will see expansions. The current W.W. Hastings Hospital in Tahlequah will be replaced with a new 150,000 square foot hospital and cost about $53.1 million. Cherokee Nation reported that the current Tahlequah hospital sees 400,000 patient visits each year. However, the facility is only built to serve about 65,000.
Channel 8 spoke with a member of Cherokee Nation who uses the healthcare facilities. She said she is tired of longer wait times and is therefore excited to hear about the changes.
"When Chief Baker took office, he promised us that our healthcare was going to improve, and it's great to see that he's keeping his promise," said Tera Black.
There will be construction over the next two to three years.

Okay, what do you do now? Statistically we've found that 48 percent to 62 percent of the total sales for the year happen in the six-week window surrounding Mother's Day.
That's a short window to make hay. This year if the weather doesn't kill you then the economy, or news about the economy, just might. You know it is really bad when news of the Swine Flu is a relief from the daily dose of how bad the economy is.
More than one retailer, ranging from Syracuse, N.Y., to Charleston, S.C., has said that it doesn't seem too bad where they are. However, the opinion is that consumer spending is stunted by fears of what might be, rather than what is actually going on in their neck of the woods.
Either way, most retailers report that sales are off. It is still early in the season (as I write this in the first week of May), but there is nothing more than cautious optimism. With that said I thought it might be helpful to offer some suggestions of how other industries are handling it, as well as ideas for independent retail garden centers.
Learning From Others
A recent Wall Street Journal feature (April 23, 2009) offered "Strategies for Survival" showcasing eight success stories from industries ranging from a five-star restaurant to a local pastry shop. All faced similar challenges – significant drops in sales and customer counts. Strategies for success featured reduced pricing, increased marketing, marketing support from vendors and suppliers, and improved customer service.
Nothing earth shattering there. It is funny how tough times can snap you out of years of lethargy. Don't price, service, quality and innovation still equal value?
Easy to say, harder to do, so let's take a closer look:
David Burke is one of the top restaurateurs in the country, but his upscale restaurants are located in hard hit areas such as the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Las Vegas. While the industry is projecting a 12 to 15 percent drop in sales, Mr. Burke is reporting an overall growth in sales. What did he do? He selectively dropped prices. He created some significant in-your-face promotions such as a $20.09 three-course meal (in some cases featuring lobster and oysters). This is hardly what you would expect from a high-end restaurant where entrees traditionally sell from $29 to $44. His idea was to create discounts as drastic as need be in order to attract attention. At his Chicago steak house where a 14 ounce sirloin is regularly $48, he recently offered a $5 burger and a shake. This is the type of stuff that generates a buzz.
His goal was to model another restaurant that is doing well these days: McDonald's. What is easier to understand, as well as easier to market, than a "dollar menu?" Before you shed any tears, please understand that despite the setbacks, he is still doing okay. While his margins may have slipped from a high of 35 to 45 percent, his restaurants, which generated $35 million in revenues last year, are projected to break $45 million. I think Mr. Burke also understands that creating a sensation, well… creates a sensation. After all, you couldn't put a price on a half page feature in the Wall Street Journal.
Adjusting To Survive
The lesson here: Burke understood that the object of marketing is to do whatever it takes to get customers in your store. A $20 meal at a five-star restaurant sure put the fannies in the chairs. He made up for the lower prices with smaller portions, well managed labor costs and better buying (lobster dropped to $5 a pound).
How about a history lesson? It turns out that a few other companies survived worse – such as the Great Depression. They say necessity is the mother of invention. Did you ever wonder how ketchup got its start? Well, Henry Heinz (yes, that Heinz) went bust back in 1875 when a banking crisis (sound familiar?) made it difficult to secure short-term credit. He had to resort to selling his parent's furniture in order to satisfy liens against his equipment. So a year later, in addition to his original product line (pickles and horseradish), he brought out a few new products, including, you guessed it – ketchup. The rest they say is history.
The lesson here: the relationships you cultivate with your local banker can help you weather the storm when times get tough. Make sure to schedule quarterly meetings to keep them up to date on your business. Also, tough times will force you to innovate. You never know what might come out of it. The key is to never give up. As long as you constantly review consumer demand and can adapt to the market you always have a shot.
Back in the early 1930s (the era of the big D) Proctor & Gamble (heard of them?) decided to "market the hell" out of the products on the radio (which was like the Internet today). They opted to sponsor the radio dramas that were popular in those days – in fact that is how soap operas got their name.
Market, market, market.
Publix, a $24 billion dollar behemoth, has decided it will suffer the costs in order to maintain the high level of service that built the brand. As a privately owned company, it doesn't have to answer to Wall Street, but rather to the loyal customers who shop the 1,003 stores. While executives may have dropped prices, they have maintained staffing in order to continue to deliver exceptional service. Their mindset is that setbacks are temporary, but the experience that a shopper has at Publix translates into repeat business and word-of-mouth advertising.
At the end of the day it still comes back to value – that rare combination of fair pricing, exceptional customer service and the innovation needed to not only meet consumer demand, but to anticipate it with a continuation of improved products and services. Yes, the news can be dreadful, but remember that a business based on the consistent delivery of value to its customers will survive the worst.

Metal Gear Solid Theme Removed from MGS 4 Due to Plagiarism ChargesMetal Gear Solid composer Norihiko Hibino now says that the series' classic theme song was removed from Metal Gear Solid 4 due to plagiarism accusations.
"The truth is, Konami [had legal problems with] Russian composers who said we stole their music," Hibino told EGM, as related by Gamasutra. "They didn't, actually. But Konami was too sensitive about the situation and just decided not to use that music in the game."
The unnamed Russian composers apparently allege that the theme was stolen from Russian composer Georgy Sviridov's concerto "Pushkin's Garland" from 1979.
The Metal Gear Solid theme is credited to composer Tappi "TAPPY" Iwase, and first debuted with the PlayStation release of Metal Gear Solid in 1998.
Below the fold is a video of Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima essentially getting "Das Punked" with the tune by a Russian magazine. Judge for yourself whether the Metal Gear theme is the result of plagiarism or coincidence.

These two are my favorite snuggle buddies.
It's almost noon but my bed is super comfy. :3 Portuguese flannel sheets, a pillow top mattress, and down comforter make for a great lazy Sunday. Pardon my chapped lips.
Kicking back with my baby girl tonight.
Snuggling the kitties. Matthew fell asleep after our shower.
Snuggling with my Moota today.
Moota and I sharing a book this fine evening.
Snuggling with my babies. Can't believe they'll be 6 years old in July. <3 They've been here with me through thick and thin. #babies, #kitties, #cats, #catsofinstagram, #family, #love, #snuggle, #cute
Stayed home sick from work tonight. Watching Netflix, nibbling pretzel sticks and snuggling with my little Monster.
Moota. My beauty mark cat. #Picfx, #cat, #beautymark, #love, #family, #snuggle, #pretty, #pet, #WHPpetportraits
Snuggling with my kitty this fine afternoon.
I ignored her when she tried to burrow under the covers this morning. Now she's holding my arm hostage.
Moota has this habit of falling asleep on her face. Ever since she was a kitten she's slept like this. #cat, #cute, #pets, #love, #family, #cuddle,#snuggle
Body isn't quite adjusting to this sleeping schedule as fast as I thought. But they fixed my paycheck finally. 14.30$ an hour plus retro pay all the way to my first week back. Get paid again March 2nd. Gonna throw all kinds of monies into my house fund. The guys are cool to live with and all but its hard to sleep here during the day sometimes. I love coming home to Matthew though. Usually when I come in at 5a he's all curled up and sound asleep. So I strip off my uniform and snuggle in next to him. He latches onto me and pulls me close even though my skin is freezing. He whispers love in my ear and we fall asleep. This is the first time that I've actually come home from a late shift and gone immediately to bed. I guess the difference is that there is the promise of a warm embrace if I do.

It seems like every other month, we read about South Carolina getting additional industry in the state, which translates to putting people to work. Companies like Boeing, Firestone, gun manufacturers from Connecticut, a calling center, BMW and other corporations are looking to relocate.

If you are a pet owner, or just a person who cares about pets, you need to read this article. It just shows how one veterinarian can care so much, and some veterinarians (Bill Rabon) can care so little.
Rabon is an embarrassment to Senate District 8. Mr. Rabon, House Bill 930 is coming. We are watching you! If we are really lucky, you won't be our senator for long.

"For it is in giving that we receive." (St. Francis of Assisi)
Generosity begins at home. It begins with you and me. It begins here in Brunswick County. It is brought to fruition in one of our own, Dean Siler. He is a true giver — the most sincere giver, a quiet giver. There is no need for public praise or reward because his generosity is straight from the heart. Human words cannot do it justice. It is the kind of giving that God smiles upon.

My wife and I were eating at a local restaurant on a Friday around 4 p.m. I sat down to eat a salad, and the couple that was beside me began to blow their nose several times.
I asked if they would please go to the restroom and do that because I am eating. The older lady said. "Pardon me, I will blow my noses anywhere I want to." I paused and said, "Well, that tells me you have no manners or respect to the other people in here eating."

Your article about Sunset Beach Town Council keeping former council member Karen Joseph on the negotiating team at Jaguar's Lair was very interesting.
If you can still fog a mirror, you know this is a legit decision the state would never argue with, but is it really in the best interest of the town or a slap in the face of the voters?
I think our "new" town council needs to work at being new. Change is good.
I do not know Joseph, nor do I own property in Jaguar's Lair.

PKG 1:37 "you ok? Yeah, think so." 75-YEAR-OLD JOYCE RHODEN.. CAN'T WALK.. WITHOUT HELP. HER LEGS.. AND ARMS.. ARE WRAPPED IN BANDAGES. 6:49 "this arm has about 6 or 8 puncture wounds on it from his bite." RHODEN SAYS AS SHE WAS WALKED HER MINIATURE CHIHUAHUA OUTSIDE HER JONESVILLE HOME MONDAY NIGHT... 4:38 "it happened so fast, just so fast." A BOXER-PIT BULL MIX NAMED SAMMY - RAN OVER FROM THE HOME ACROSS THE ROAD.. 3:15 "I told him to get. I picked up my little dog." SHE SAYS SAMMY BIT HER LEG.. AND THEN HER ARM.. TO GET HER TO LET GO OF HER DOG. 4:00 "when he got my little dog, he took off and had his head in his mouth." 49:27 "she was crawling up the steps just screaming, he killed my dog, he's killed him, he's killed him. She was just covered in blood." HER SON RANDY.. CALLED FOR HELP. DEPUTIES SAY SAMMY KILLED THE CHIHUAHUA. RHODEN ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL. 7:52 "He was out for blood and he got it." ANIMAL CONTROL.. TOOK SAMMY. 52:39 "I've told the man down there, I've told him on several occasions that the dog is getting mean is getting vicious. I mean he bit me one day when I went to tell him after he chases my momma up the road and back." THE SHERIFF SAYS SAMMY'S OWNER IS ON VACATION.. AND WILL BE CHARGED WITH ALLOWING A DOG TO RUN AT LARGE. 7:30 "you see so much on TV about dogs biting little kids and other people, but till you're bit, you feel sorry for them and hurt for them, but till you get attacked you just don't know. You just don't know." 13:58 "for now Joyce Rhoden is resting here at home. She says she will likely have to have surgery on Thursday or Friday.

Turns out packed parking lots don't irritate folks as much as early holiday shoppers do.
According to a new survey, folks who finish their shopping by September top the list of irritating holiday habits. You know those people, the ones who brag about finding deals early.
Other irritating types include re-gifters who give their presents to others and online whizz kids who buy all their presents on the Internet.
Watch who the anchors think are most annoying.

Super demon said...
Every warlock love the idea of transforming into a demon im sure gut i think this verson is badly implimented. I think the demon for is 51 talent point that should build on what youve been doing in demonolgy all this time. Youve been letting your demon tank while you cast spells. If you combine the 2 you get a demon that can cast spells and do some awsome melee, probably when somone gets up on you. Would love to see a nice axe with the form with killer melee stats since you dont stack those stats.
So in conclusion it should be a form like shadow form permanant not temporary. You should be able to cast at a distance and melee when you have somone up close, like a hunter. Therefore having the best of both having a demon and being a caster.
Drakkenfyre said...
So you want a caster, but the ability to melee up close? Lol, OP much?
Lol, j/k.

GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) - A Southern California man's car ended up on his neighbor's roof in an unusual accident over the weekend.
Glendale police Sgt. Sean Riley tells City News Service that the driver lost control Saturday afternoon on a driveway in an area where homes are arrayed on a steep hillside.
The vehicle ended up on the roof of the next house down the hill.
Riley says the driver reported he had a mechanical failure.
The driver, his wife and the resident of the neighboring home were unharmed.
A crane was brought in to lift the car from the roof, which had minor damage.

The buzz over apps is overshadowing the good old browser.
Well you could've knocked me over with a feather.
According to new data from Forrester Research Inc., 39% of tablet owners spend more time using a tablet's web browser than using the various apps they seek out and download. Meanwhile, a mere 16% say they spend more time using apps than the web browser. The rest use the two about evenly.
This data, the first of its kind on tablet use that I've seen since Apple Inc. debuted the game-changing iPad last April, came as a surprise to me. I guess because I'm among the 16%. I probably use apps on my iPad 90% of the time and the web browser 10%. I mean, aren't apps what the iPad is all about? I guess not.
To me, apps—on tablets and smartphones—present a superior experience to the web because they are optimized to make full use of the device for which they are created. The app experience is a visual feast, and highly functional.
Whether its reading the New York Times, following folks on Twitter, buying movie tickets from Fandango or purchasing DVDs on Amazon.com, I'm using the app, not the site. The pages of the New York Times come vividly to life in its iPad app. No need for page refreshes or potentially slow page loads on the Twitter app, as is the case with all apps. And when the Twitter app does lead to a web site, it keeps the web experience within the app and lets you go back into the comfy world of app functionality with just one touch. Fandango's app is filled with stunning posters and videos and is as smooth a ride as you could want. And Amazon makes things big, colorful and easy.
I believe one or two things are happening. First, tablets are really only as old as the iPad, which created the first significant demand for the form factor one year ago this month. Perhaps people have not explored the app stores much yet and instead are falling on the habit of using the Internet. And, second, many people seem to be buying tablets specifically as a replacement tool for Internet browsing when away from a desktop or find it simply more comfortable when on the couch (they sure present a more visually appealing experience than a laptop, and are easier to hold when sitting or reclining). One way or another, it seems the browser is the mode of choice in using the Internet on a tablet, not the app.
The lesson here is a simple one: Even if your customer base seems ripe for an app, you should consider optimizing your web site for use on tablets—namely the iPad for the time being—before you dive too deeply into creating an app. According to Forrester Research and Harris Interactive, 20% of U.S. consumers will own a tablet by 2014. That's a lot of browsing on a lot of tablets.

Simple Geometry Question about a Complex Situation -Spherical/3D cartesian
by BrightstarVI
Tags: cartesian, rotation, spherical, translation
|Share this thread:
Jan25-12, 06:15 PM
I'm working with 3D geometry, and I've been at this for days. I'm beating my head against a wall, because I'm nearly done with the project. There's only one glitch in my system.
The Situation:
I have a 3D cartesian coordinate system with a Spherical system overlaid over it (the "poles" correspond with the Z axis, so that if you're looking from 90 degrees (polar north) you're looking down the Z axis.
I'm writing a computer program that does 3D geometric translations to "move" the points in the coordinate system.
The problem:
I have MOST of it working.
My only problem is when the user does a "translation" after a couple of rotations.
So basically,
Rotate the coordinate system by N degrees azimuth (at 0 degrees elevation)
Do an X, Y translation
Rotate the coordinate system back to the previous position
Now what was the translation in terms of X,Y,Z coordinates (at the new rotation)
Here's the program:
...In order to make it mess up, do the following.
Click at the top of the view area and drag to the bottom (rotate from 90 degrees elevation to 0)
Click and drag from right to left or left to right a couple of times. (rotates in azimuth)
Now right click and drag. (Yes I know the direction it moves is inverted so that you drag left it goes right you drag right it goes left). ...What it's NOT supposed to do is move closer and farther away.
In something resembling math language, here is the code I've been using:
TXtmp = Amount of X translation
TYtmp = Amount of Y translation
TZtmp = 0 (there is no Z translation)
Cos11 = Cosine of Azimuth Rotation
Sin11 = Sine of Azimuth Rotation
Cos12 = Cosine of Elevation Rotation
Sin12 = Sine of Elevation Rotation
TXtmp2 = TXtmp
TYtmp2 = TYtmp*Cos12 - TZtmp*Sin12
TZtmp2 = TYtmp*Sin12 + TZtmp*Cos12
Final X = TXtmp2*Cos11 - TYtmp2*Sin11
Final Y = TXtmp2*Sin11 + TYtmp2*Cos11
Final Z = TZtmp2
The raw code is below:
function galFEnd(){
TXtmp = Math.round(pointerX - pointerEndX)
TYtmp = Math.round(pointerY - pointerEndY)
TZtmp = 0
var Cos11 = -Math.cos(Cam1[1]*Math.PI/180)
var Sin11 = -Math.sin(Cam1[1]*Math.PI/180)
var TempAng = Cam[2]-Cam1[2]
var Cos12 = -Math.cos(TempAng*Math.PI/180)
var Sin12 = -Math.sin(TempAng*Math.PI/180)
TXtmp2 = TXtmp
TYtmp2 = TYtmp*Cos12 - TZtmp*Sin12
TZtmp2 = TYtmp*Sin12 + TZtmp*Cos12
TXtmp3 = TXtmp2*Cos11 - TYtmp2*Sin11
TYtmp3 = TXtmp2*Sin11 + TYtmp2*Cos11
TZtmp3 = TZtmp2
//Set the new focus position
Cam1[4] = Math.round((Cam1[4] + TXtmp3)/2)
Cam1[5] = Math.round((Cam1[5] + TYtmp3)/2)
Cam1[6] = Math.round((Cam1[6] + TZtmp3)/2)
Help would be appreciated. I'm getting terribly frustrated.
Jan25-12, 06:17 PM
Oh, just to note, the program only works in Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 5-6+, Google Chrome, or newer versions of Safari. (Sorry I forgot to mention it)
Jan26-12, 12:33 AM
I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but are you trying to set your new position when you right click to what the mouse shows you when it creates an X?
In other words do you want your linear transformations to generate your new coordinate that corresponds to the X that is created when you right click?
Jan28-12, 02:14 PM
Simple Geometry Question about a Complex Situation -Spherical/3D cartesian
Hi Chiro,
Thanks for the welcome.
Basically, I'm trying to do a simple transformation in X,Y,Z based on how the user moves the mouse.
The complication (the problem) is that everything is based on the original position of the X,Y,Z system, so when the user clicks+drags the screen in a given direction, it has to reverse-calculate whatever rotation is on the camera before it applies the x,y,z translation.
...Basically, I have to figure out, given the user's current camera rotation (and assuming that X, Y are left/right, up/down respectively at the CURRENT rotation) what the X,Y,Z translation is at the original camera angle.
Jan28-12, 04:35 PM
My latest brainstorm was to try just defining my new "translation" point on the spherical coordinate system, rotating it, then re-converting the location to cartesian coordinates.
It seems to have worked even less spectacularly.
function galFEnd(){
TXtmp = Math.round(pointerX - pointerEndX)
TYtmp = Math.round(pointerY - pointerEndY)
TZtmp = 25//Math.round(Math.sqrt(25*25+TXtmp*TXtmp+TYtmp*TYtmp))
var TempAng = Cam1[2] - Cam[2]
TXtmp2 = Math.sqrt(TXtmp*TXtmp + TYtmp*TYtmp + TZtmp*TZtmp) //actually r
TYtmp2 = Math.acos(TZtmp/TXtmp2)*180/Math.PI; //actually theta
TZtmp2 = Math.atan2(TYtmp,TXtmp)*180/Math.PI; //actually phi
var Rtmp = TXtmp2 //r
var Ttmp = TYtmp2 - TempAng //new theta
var Ptmp = TZtmp2 - Cam1[1] //new phi
var CosP = Math.cos(Ptmp*Math.PI/180)
var SinP = Math.sin(Ptmp*Math.PI/180)
var CosT = Math.cos(Ttmp*Math.PI/180)
var SinT = Math.sin(Ttmp*Math.PI/180)
TXtmp3 = Rtmp*SinT*CosP
TYtmp3 = Rtmp*SinT*SinP
TZtmp3 = Rtmp*CosT
Cam1[4] = Math.round(Cam1[4] + TXtmp3)
Cam1[5] = Math.round(Cam1[5] + TYtmp3)
Cam1[6] = Math.round(Cam1[6] + TZtmp3 - 25)
Jan29-12, 04:33 AM
I see what you are doing, but I would recommend you write your code with a matrix class: it makes it more readable and allows you to understand things more easily.
I see how you are converting spherical to cartesian and that seems to make sense.
One thing I will tell you is that this code is a little messy. The spherical conversion part looks ok but I'm worried about these lines in particular:
var Ttmp = TYtmp2 - TempAng //new theta
var Ptmp = TZtmp2 - Cam1[1] //new phi
Also this line:
var Ttmp = TYtmp2 - TempAng //new theta
var Ptmp = TZtmp2 - Cam1[1] //new phi
From the code both are in the correct format (angles that are radians), but I need to know how you are calculating all of this stuff.
What are your data types for these objects?
It would be a hell of a lot easier in the future if you just used matrix code and created the right transformations in the right order.
I need to know what the TempAng var is and what those variables are based on. If you are basing these on the wrong values then I think you will be creating a mess.
My thoughts are that if you coded up a matrix subroutine that worked after you tested it, and tested how it performed composition of maps (fancy way to say matrix multiplication), then you could do a very quick addition that converted spherical data to cartesian data and by using the same matrix routines you would get the right result with less hassle.
Also the other reason to do it this way is because any new camera code you have (for example looking at a point from another point, following a curve, or some other camera effect) is really really easy once you've done the above.
Jan29-12, 01:18 PM
First, regarding matrices:
I have no real objection to using this system, but I also have no real idea HOW. That means that in order to do it, I would have to read up on it and learn it, basically from scratch. The hour or two of research I DID do on matrices tells me that it will take some serious time to learn it (unless you have a suggestion on where to go for a relatively simple tutorial).
...So in essence, I wouldn't mind using matrices... but this project is almost finished. If i can fix this problem, then all of the camera handling is finished. If there's a simple fix without worrying about matrices then that's the way to go for me.
As to the code:
Yes it's messy. That last bit that I posted was something I hacked together rather quickly. I haven't cleaned any of it up or simplified it.
The coding language is javascript, so there are no datatypes. It's a loosely-typed language, meaning these variables can hold anything you want to put in them. The scripting engine does the determinations for data types.
Now regarding what my data sources are:
pointerX, pointerY and pointerEndX, pointerEndY are the pointer coordinates at the beginning and end of the click+drag
The Cam[] array is for storing my base camera positions. Cam[2] is base elevation (always 90). Cam1[] is the array for current camera positions. Cam1[2] is the new camera elevation (whatever the camera is currently).
Cam1[1] is current azimuth.
Cam1[4],Cam1[5],Cam1[6] are the X,Y,Z coordinates of the camera focus (respectively).
And here's a slightly more cleaned up version of the code for you:
TXtmp = Math.round(pointerX - pointerEndX) //Intended X translation;
TYtmp = Math.round(pointerY - pointerEndY) //Intended Y translation;
TZtmp = 25 //Z distance of translation from camera focus;
var TempAng = Cam1[2] - Cam[2];
var TRad = Math.sqrt(TXtmp*TXtmp + TYtmp*TYtmp + TZtmp*TZtmp);
var TTheta = Math.acos(TZtmp/TRad)*180/Math.PI;
var TPhi = Math.atan2(TYtmp,TXtmp)*180/Math.PI;
var Rtmp = TRad;
var Ttmp = Theta - TempAng
var Ptmp = TPhi - Cam1[1]
var CosP = Math.cos(Ptmp*Math.PI/180)
var SinP = Math.sin(Ptmp*Math.PI/180)
var CosT = Math.cos(Ttmp*Math.PI/180)
var SinT = Math.sin(Ttmp*Math.PI/180)
var TXtmp3 = Rtmp*SinT*CosP
var TYtmp3 = Rtmp*SinT*SinP
var TZtmp3 = Rtmp*CosT
Cam1[4] = Math.round(Cam1[4] + TXtmp3)
Cam1[5] = Math.round(Cam1[5] + TYtmp3)
Cam1[6] = Math.round(Cam1[6] + TZtmp3 - 25)
Feb9-12, 06:09 PM
The answer turned out to be as simple as i thought it was.
var Cos11 = -Math.cos(Cam1[1]*Math.PI/180)
var Sin11 = -Math.sin(Cam1[1]*Math.PI/180)
should have been
var Cos11 = Math.cos(Cam1[1]*Math.PI/180*-1)
var Sin11 = Math.sin(Cam1[1]*Math.PI/180*-1)
Don't ask me why or what made the difference, but this fixed it.

Omnivore: Might They Be Giants-Finally?
In the mid-'80s, a pair of friendly, funny singer-songwriters played at my high school. They called themselves They Might Be Giants, and I liked them. But that was before their hyperactive pop music came to dominate alternative radio, putting boingy hits like "Don't Let's Start" and "Birdhouse in Your Soul" on constant replay for more than a decade. In other words, before they became the musical equivalent of a pestering, pubescently awkward little brother.
The most obvious sign that They Might Be Giants were finally ready to grow up came, strangely enough, from those Dunkin' Donuts jingles they created in 2006. Focusing their scattershot cleverness, they sang punchy, snarky tunes (like the one mocking barista lingo: "Is it French or is it Italian? Perhaps Fritalian…") that made our local coffee-and-crullers chain seem hip. More important for music fans, the ads showed a welcome maturing of the band's wordplay and melodies.
Ironically, though, they've matured the most by making music for children. In the past few years, the duo has turned out albums for toddlers learning their ABCs and 123s (earning a Grammy along the way). In September they released Here Comes Science, whose crunchy pop-punk can get any youngster fired up about the periodic table, while this month brings the book and DVD Kids Go!, which encourages children to jump around. The Kids Go! title song is a revelation, its silky bass and blasts of horns proving these nerd rockers have at last learned to groove, and the total package works in spades: It makes kids and parents—even me— jump for joy.

Review: Video game reverence and infectious charm make Wreck-It Ralph a must-see
Wreck-It Ralph could have gone bad. The premise—to explore the world of video games through a Donkey Kong-esque bad guy—could have easily been high concept and low execution. After all, it's rare that Hollywood really "gets" games and without nailing that the film would have been a mess of licensed characters and typical kid's movie fodder. In an alternate... Read More

Students at Bottenfield Middle School were temporarily evacuated Thursday after a gas leak was detected.
The school was evacuated after a smell of gas was reported around 10 a.m. The Adamsville fire chief confirmed that a gas leak was detected at the school.
The gas leak was located in a unit on top of the school building, according to a school official. Maintenance workers turned off the natural gas line and have been working to repair the leak.
Officials said the students were in no danger and were allowed back inside the building for classes.
However, after receiving calls about the leak, several parents lined up in cars outside Bottenfield to pick up their kids and check them out. Parents of children with breathing problems said they were especially concerned.
Officials say that the natural gas will remain off at the school until the leak is repaired. Bottenfield Middle School is a Jefferson County School located in Adamsville, Ala.

Effective sports drink
By damark
from Colorado Springs, CO
All the sports drink mixes I have tried have been too sweet for my taste. Cytomax could leave out the stevia for me. It is a good hydration/electrolyte replacement and has kept me going on long road races, training and century rides. I will keep buying it.
Works for me
By Jay
from Twin Cities, MN
I researched various sport drink products a few years ago and settled on Cyto-Max. I've had no regrets. I've tried several flavors and they've all been acceptable, some have been delicious. I've sort of gravitated to the Pink Lemonade lately. It seems to have a better thirst quenching quality. I take a drink every 3 miles through my rides with some ClifBar Shot Blocks every 9 miles instead of Cyto-Max. I've ridden successful centuries (and longer) on this stuff every year including a surprising P.R. last year. On all long rides I start with a bottle, carry a baggie with premeasured Cyto-Max powder in it, and use it when I refill my bottles. There are other options and they're probably good, but I'm sticking with Cyto-Max.
Like the Apple
I use Cytomax drinks anytime I am on the bike for more than half an hour at any speed over recovery. They keep me hydrated and provide glucose to keep my performance high and lessen fatigue.
Performance Drink Mix
By Dan
from Long Beach, CA
I have tried several other sports drinks and recovery mixes, CytoMax Performance Drink Mix work's the best. It helps fight hunger and cramps during my ride and recovery is quicker. I have tried the flavors Fresh Apple and Tropical so far, I like Tropical's taste. I have received Pink Lemonade, haven't tasted or used that flavor yet. Direction's recommend that you use two scopes per container, I would start out with one and a quarter till you get the right taste. Then you can adjust the quantity according to your recovery needs.

Not only are these flavors tasty, but this drink gives you more energy to ride much longer without fatigue.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We were looking for a lavender as the primary color for our invitation and when we saw this one with the green accents (our secondary color), we instictavely knew it would be the right one for us! We were thrilled when we saw the sample and ordered them that day. The paper has a wonderful texture and weight. The ink color is not quite as lavender in person as it looks on the computer, but is still a very pretty color. AND we got the invitations over a week early...great service! Thank you for making this part of our wedding so easy."
"The quality of the paper and printing was superb. If you are looking for a traditional and elegant invitation suite, this is definitely it. We added additional text to the response card with no issue and received our promptly. Can't say enough good things about these!"
"I love how any color you put on this invite looks beautiful. The printing and paper quality are wonderful. I have made my own invitations in the past and wish I knew about these guys before!"
"Love this invite. It's beautiful and on great quality paper. I got this invitation in navy to match our rustic chic wedding. It's perfect! I love them. Love the design on the back too. It's a nice touch."
"Out of 20+ samples, this was by far our favorite invitation. The colours were stunning and did not overwhelm the invitation. Feedback received from friends and family is that they love the shimmer finish and its unique and classy. There is a lot more room to add additional information to the invitation if you aren't wanting to order separate inserts which will save on money. The proofing process was quick and easy and we had our invitations shipped and delivered to Australia in under a week."
