Solar System Builder
We are giving you the keys to the universe. Think you can build a solar system that can maintain the balance and spawn life? Design your own planets and stars and try your hand at the interactive Solar System Builder. But construct carefully, the fate of your planetary system requires keen celestial reasoning and understanding of gravity's pull.
my gas giants are the only thing that survies
to survive forever point all your planets facing outwards
Wow! I've just done a moon (water planet) rotating around a gas planet!
woohooo!!! go me!
Life created!!!! Boom!!!!
It needs to have better instructions..
I made a mistake with the speed.
wow i made a planet orbiting a planet
too long to load, pls fix this
how do you get planet to have a moon
how do you get planets to have a moon
one planet, 100,000 years and counting
the orbit is very eccentric though.... (elliptical)
life lasted about 65000 years
How do you make a planet orbit another planet? In other words how do you make a moon?
my galaxy lasted 5089220446
try to have tis in your cosmos
6 planets
2 gas giant both has moon
1 earth with 2 moon
1 rocky giant 1 moon
1 rocky
2 simple gas no moons
9 planets
1 rocky and has 15 moons
1 gas giant with 1 moon
5 earth no moons
1 liquid with 2 moons
1 gas nnot giant 2 moons
5 planets. four rocky one gas (not giant). The first planet from the sun is stopped and the sun postally used by another planet for the second planet is pushed through the ground behind her back after changing the orbit collides with a gas planet, which protected the dwarf before annihilation. After the collision earth 1 from the sun in the orbit of the planet from the sun 3. For a dwarf wandering alongside a gas planet revolves around the sun without fear of collision. Obkrazajac dwarf sun approaching dangerously close to the sun but over distances August. Planet Gas obkrazajac sun she could to sweep away lands but then rapidly approaching the earth to the sun waiting for the passage of the gas giant and again returns to orbit.
32,456 years.....and all planets collided with sun before year 500 :(
1 earth...200000 yrs so far
Life was on my Planet with 700 years. Got wiped out ay 79000 years.I hope to find out if there are next stages of life in this 'game'
made it last 27112 years and counting
Going to try to get a solar system to last as long as possible. I created a solar system with these specs:
3 Gas planets (not giants). 1 of them has a moon
1 Liquid planet with a moon
1 Earth planet
1 tiny Rocky planet
The Gas and Liquid planets are pretty far from the star with circular orbits. The rocky planet has a close, elliptical orbit around the star. The Earth planet is in a circular orbit between the Gas planets and the Rocky planet.
Good game, fun and strategic. Its difficult to get your solar system to last a while though.
my planets keep crashing
does the star ever disintegrate?
I was able to create the moon to one of the gas giants (busier saying larger body makes less to orbit around it)
2 planets left. one gas giant in the outer orbit.
one rocky water with life. achieved perfect orbit.
I've created a Solar System with 3 Earths
I wish that when you got life it would develop over time and become interplanetary that would be so cool. And, as a part of that, you could monitor your planet and see it's stats for life, what it's atmosphere contains, etc.
yay i develpoed life. the game would be better if you can have moons
how to make thw planet orbit
How do you know if you have life on your planet?
this is worth watching
HiNot all planets in the universe have a star like sun orbiting them,and i guess this sun from earth system solar is the only sun like star in the universe! and i also think that other galaxy have some things different like sun like star but just not as we know it go here for more and open the article the universe the birth place of life, or cosmic law & religion there are many parts my advice start with part one to understand it all, please comment enjoy. http://andromeda-lady.blogspot.com
wow this isnt as easy as i thought it was going to be,but i love it,its fun and it gets you thinking
So 550,000 years have past, I have 1 remaining planet with life, and the rogue "comet" that causes so much trouble is in a stable orbit. Does anything ever happen to the life on the planet?
@Armando Ayala congrats!!
I'm only 5000 years into the game and disaster has already struck. An asteroid hit the gas planet with a moon and shifted its orbit. This caused the gas planet to absorb both its own moon and the Earth planet about 500 years later. This messed up its orbit even more. Now the gas planet is drifting all over the place with an erratic orbit and has already had close calls with several other planets. I fear it will take out more planets before its orbit stabilizes.
@Daniel Pavia Then war is probably imminent .
8 earths is possible
@Daniel Pavia you can have moons , but getting them into orbit is tricky.
@Daniel Pavia You can just have one planet start near to another and fiddle with it a bit
@Dan Webb it tells you in the right top corner.
@John Hodge try making moons ! it can be done.
So I am 1,122,000 years into this and I still have life on my planet, but nothing else has happened.
Another 5000 years have gone by and as I predicted the rogue gas planet caused more damage. A close call with the liquid planet resulted in the liquid planet's moon getting wiped out. In addition, the tiny Rocky plant also fell victim to the rogue gas planet. Currently the gas planet is haphazardly orbiting the star at a close radius with an elliptical-like path. So only 10000 years have passed and I have already lost half of my planets.
@Elliott Smith did you try it
@Stephen Messer @John Hodge how can i make a moon ?
2.26 million years and still stable and still has life. Anyone ever getting another message other than "Plant XXX has developed life!"?
Unfortunately, the two gas planets collided at 28000 years through. I didn't even get close to my 1 million year goal, only about 3%. Hopefully my next solar system will fare better.
I'm 20000 years through and already down to two planets. The rogue gas planet collided with the liquid planet. This shifted the Gas planet's orbit again, causing it to crash into the star. Now the only two planets left are the other two gas planets, both of which have broad orbits far from the star. However, they are traveling in opposite directions near each other, so what will most likely happen is they will collide head on.
@Michael Tasara @Stephen Messer @John Hodge get your planet to orbit, then reset and add a smaller planet with less mass , shooting it past your original planet , you should be able to see the gravitational effect , slow down or speed up your moon as needed as well as changing the mass of both the moon and planet , basically you want to throw a smaller planet at it so it just misses but gets caught in orbit.
You had a good run.
"It's dead Jim" 11.72 million and the comet orbit finally took out the plant. :(
7 million years and the orbit of the comet has stabilized to some degree. I think by the time I wake up in the morning my last planet will have met its doom, but we will see.
The last 500 thousand years the little comet orbit has become more elliptical and a little erratic. I am wondering if the end is in sight for my last planet! I am at 6.06 million years.
Well I am at 5.45 million years and the message still reads my planet has developed life. I will let it run for as long as possible to see if anything happens.
3.22 million years, planet orbit still stable and still has life. I wonder what will happen!

Heartburn (1986)
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
1 Readers' Reviews
May 27th, 200310:31 pm
Heartburn is an adaptation of Nora Ephron's novel; she also wrote the screenplay, and this film is based on her own real life account of her marriage to journalist Carl Bernstein. But it's a lightweight story.
I enjoyed hearing Carly Simon's song, "Coming Around Again" playing in various fashions throughout the film.
Meryl Streep is superb, and there are some pleasant scenes, but the plot is shallow; it delivers a bad message about infidelity--as if to say: well, it just happens. Plus, the film never explains why there is unfaithfulness. Big error in the film.
If you love Streep, it's definitely worth watching, but everyone else will be mildly impressed at best.
WARNING: You will have Carly Simon's song "Coming Around Again" playing in your head well after you see Heartburn.

Hidendragon said...
All i want is group looting. one widow with all items shown. There are so many time sinks in the game already i honestly feel this is one is completely unnecessary now.
paragorillabear said...
? You mean like what happens when you select Auto Loot in the Interface?
antieuclid said...
Yes! Having to manually loot corpses is unnecessary and really annoying when you're dealing with big AoE situations. Another loot timesaver I'd like to suggest: if "greed" is the only option available to you, it should automatically select it.
Faith Trust said...
tbh I don't mind clicking to loot, just enable aoe loot and we are golden.
And an interface option to enable to auto greed if its the only option available would be nice as well.
If you leave a raid (I'm looking at you LFR!) and you haven't "rolled" on loot then it should automatically "pass" on everything for you...
That right there would speed up LFR loot rolls dramatically!! And to be clear, I am specifically saying you chose to "leave" not if you were DC'd.
Faith Trust said...
@Kole totally agree and tbh it shouldn't be too problematic, if you accidentally dc and you haven't rolled, when you come back in you get the option to roll prompted.
It would also solve some issues with players not wanting to be on the next fight and leaving after the roll gets finished but in mid fight of the next boss, specially problematic if its a tank or your top healer.
zackwbrandon said...
I'm with you Faith. AoE loot for the win!
If I do LFR and nothing freaking drops that I need from any of the bosses, I leave without rolling. Meanwhile, If I'm trying to win, I realize people are frustrated they wasted 1-2 hours of their life for nothing. It's not perfect, but the 3 minutes is a perfect time to go get a soda.
Frank hamilton said...
The reason why you have to click on a corpse to loot it is to make it harder for the botters to farm gold. This way they can not set up an easy macro that would just autoatack lower level mobs and walk away from the computer for hours on end.
Jack Mynock said...
Greed is never the only option available to you. You can always pass.
raingod has obviously never ran someone through a low level instance.
You know what is more annoying than having to single click through 50 dead mobs 1 at a time, and take every thing off every body just so you can tell if each corps has been looted?
Its having to wait on your nephew who needs the upgrades, mats, and cloth from the instance to finish looting all those bodies before you can pull the next half of the instance.
"The reason why you have to click on a corpse to loot it is to make it harder for the botters to farm gold. This way they can not set up an easy macro that would just autoatack lower level mobs and walk away from the computer for hours on end."
I do not see how this is so. Bots are working just fine as it is. (I watched a bot farm savage leather in Hyjal until it's bags were full; then it would keep killing mobs but could no longer loot them).
I played on a system once where the sysop would surprise open a chat window with you to say hello (and check to see if you were a bot). It's too bad Blizzard can't do something like that but I realize the time/people/resources involved with a system like that are completely impractical.

A guilty pleasure is something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. The "guilt" involved is sometimes simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes, such as campy styles of entertainment. Fashion, video games, bachata, music,[1] films,[2] and junk food can be examples of guilty pleasures.[3]

Violent Video Games Affect Teenage Brain
Dec. 2, 2002 (Chicago) -- Before heading out to the mall with a list of must-have video games for holiday gifts, consider this new report from brain researchers: While your teens are entertaining themselves with violent video games, those games are changing the way their brain cells work.
Moreover, results of high-tech brain scans suggest that there are structural differences in the brains of teens that have been diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorders, or DBD. Typically these are teens that "act out aggressively against animals, destroy property, or have fights with other teens," says Vincent P. Mathews, MD, professor of radiology and chief of neuroradiology at the Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis.
He tells WebMD that tracking brain activity in these disruptive teens revealed that violent video games changed the patterns of brain activity in ways that "were especially troubling," but even normal teens "have brain function changes associated with violent video games."
The aggressive teens had less overall activity in the area of the brain that controls emotions, impulses, and attention. AndMathews says the impact of the violent video games is more pronounced among high users of video games. He defines high users as kids who "are playing these games for several hours every day."
He says his research marks the first time that "we were able to demonstrate different brain activation patterns that are triggered by these video games." He says, too, that even normal teens had changes in brain activity linked to "their long-term exposure to violent television, movies and games."
But Mathews, who presented his research at the 88th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, says his research is still preliminary and he doesn't know if these "changes in brain activity" are permanent or whether the changes will have long-term effects on behavior.
Mathews studied teens diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorders as well as normal adolescents. He focused his attention on the regions of the brain called the frontal lobes, which control emotions, attention, and inhibition. He used a high-tech type of brain imaging called functional magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI to track the way nerve cells in the brain send messages in response to different scenes from video games.
In his experiment, he used a nonviolent car racing game and a violent action game based on the James Bond character from popular spy novels and movies. Just to be sure that the adolescent volunteers were "fully engaged" in the video, Mathews asked them to "push a button each time a person was shot or each time the car negotiated a turn." The adolescents viewed the video while lying inside the MRI that recorded the firing of nerves in the brain.

Collaborative reading and digital devices can give students a huge boost in comprehension. How? Take a look at these great tips from Holly Clark.
Any good ideas for books my high schoolers can read about culture or living in Africa?
Looking to get some ideas so I can see if our library can order some great books before we get into that unit.
Here are some great lessons and worksheets for those of you looking to include The Hunger Games into your classroom!
I wish I was teaching civics and I would require at least the first Hunger Games books as a reference to an oppressive totalitarian regime. Otherwise it is pretty hard to find a way to include it in the social studies!
Don't start out writing novels. They take too long. Begin your writing life instead by cranking out "a hell of a lot of short stories," as many as one per week. Take a year to do it; he claims that it simply isn't possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row. He waited until the age of 30 to write his first novel, Fahrenheit 451. "Worth waiting for, huh?"
Some really great advice to students that want to write and love to write!
The more you rely on coercion and extrinsic inducements, as a matter of fact, the less interest students are likely to have in whatever they were induced to do.
Very interesting article about how some teaching strategies can lead students away from being readers!
Check out the Revolutionize Education E-Store! I just added about 20 books throughout the store. (It goes through Amazon…so it is safe)

No-Risk Blood Test for Down Syndrome
Safe Blood Test for Down Syndrome continued...
"This would be a big step forward. This is exciting stuff," says J. Christopher Glantz, MD, MPH, director of the perinatal outreach program and professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Rochester Medical Center, N.Y.
Glantz, who was not involved in the Quake study, agrees that the DNA test must be tested in a very large number of women. Before it's ready for prime time, researchers will have to show that it misses very few cases of Down syndrome -- and that it sounds almost no false alarms.
"If this is confirmed to be as useful as the authors say, it would be quite a significant step forward, because women would no longer have to undergo an invasive test," Glantz says.
Quake thinks the test will be able to detect Down syndrome as early as the fifth week of pregnancy. Currently, the test would cost about $700. But that cost would drop considerably if it were widely used.
"We are two to three years away from a viable test," Quake says. "This technology is not common in hospitals now, but we anticipate it will be soon. We are very excited about the prospects of improving health and saving lives."
Quake and colleagues report their findings in the Oct. 6 early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Kenyon's Spiritual Advisor Program
From Thomas Lewis, student organizer of the Spiritual Adivsors:
"Though religious students are not in the minority at Kenyon, many feel uncomfortable in an organized religious setting. Also, many Kenyon students (be they part of a religious tradition or not) feel uneasy talking about spiritual issues, even with their closest friends. Recognizing this need, the Board of Spiritual and Religious Life is currently developing a Spiritual Advisor program designed to give Kenyon's spiritual and seeking students a casual atmosphere in which to have totally open discussion. At the heart of the program is a poster featuring the names and faces of the advisors (who come from a wide array of spiritual traditions). Students can contact these advisors and schedule meetings when it is most convenient for them, and students also know that these advisors are not out to convert them or recruit them to a campus religious group. Spiritual growth is not easy when in isolation, and this program exists to make sure no Kenyon student has to go it alone."

A Master Bath and Home Office in One?
New York Magazine
Last week's issue of New York Magazine featured their Home Design Fall package. They looked at a few before and after gut renovations, including this master bathroom in Prospect Heights Brooklyn. We were a little confused by the choice of additions.
Architect Elizabeth Roberts opened up the second floor of a late-nineteenth-century brownstone to feature not only a large bathing area, but a home office in the corner. Yup, that on the left is a desk with a printer, meant to let you get some work one in between, um, dips in the large bath tub.
We don't know about you, but the least relaxing thing to look at while soaking in a calming bath is a printer and all that it represents in terms of work, deadlines, and a never-ending to-do list.

Who wants to think about work when trying to relax in the tub?
And who wants to think about relaxing in the tub when trying to work?
I want those floors though....
Didn't Marat have a similar set up when he was visited by Charlotte Corday?
nice, if everthing gets wet
I'd put a bed in there before I would a desk and printer, but only if I was short on space.
It's such a tiny, tiny "office space" that you'd think you could squeeze it in almost anywhere else.
Gotta love the combination of fireplace and giant tub, though. That would be positively decadent.
Beautiful and elegant, but impractical. What about a dining room/bathtub?
Yeah, humidity will be a problem for your electronics and paper.
I don't see it in the pic, but I'd have a hard time working around a toilet...
As a writer, I've had many eureka! moments in the shower and have been forced to write them down in the mist on the glass shower walls. A computer and printer in the bathroom would be a very happy arrangement for me---not a looming threat of work to be done. Maybe that's the deal going on with the owner of this bathroom?
I like it. Its a great combo and really its creative. When one is working creative influences in/around one's space is a good thing.
condensation disaster!
Sido: You are very funny...
I can't help thinking that a bathtub in front of a fireplace was too great a temptation to resist. It's unusual to be sure...but as long as there's no toilet bowl...why not.
I'm thinking, why not sink the tub into the floor if you can? Then cover it when it's dry and not in use. As it stands, it's not that horrible, just unusual.

- If Petco has an event dont goOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/28/2014Extreme poor organization, our group arrived one hour prior to our 6:45 dinner reservation. We were seated at 7:10, my clients had to gobble their food to make the show. Keep in mind, the table we were finally seated was empty the whole hour we were seated in the lobby waiting. Totally embarrassedSpecial Features:
- Overwhelmed ManagementOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/28/2014We made a reservation for 6:45 the night of McCartney's show at Petco Park. The restaurant is immediately next to the stadium and was utterly overwhelmed with people. Management seemed paralyzed. We were seated about 20 minutes late which put the evening at risk since the show was scheduled to start at 8:00. We waited patiently and were actually enjoying the crazy scene in the bar, but we gave the wait staff about 5 minutes to come to the table. They didn't, so we left. Turns out we could have stayed; the show actually started at 8:30 but of course we had no way of knowing that. Petco does not host a lot of shows, but it seems that the management there made no real contingencies for this huge event at the facility literally 200 yards away.
- Out ThereLA58Dined on 9/28/2014That how we felt our reservation was OUT THERE, that fit with the Paul McCartney theme. seated late and service was slow. It seems as is they did not know the rush was coming.Special Features:
- Very DisappointingCt17Dined on 9/28/2014I chose to try this restaurant before the Paul McCartney concert and they were simply overwhelmed and underprepared for the crowd. It took an hour to get food, half hour to get wine, and we never did get bread. Definitely NOT a place to try when there is a big event downtown. On the up side, when the food arrived, it was good and our waiter did try his best.
- cheerstousDined on 9/28/2014couldn't handle busy night-horrible-had to leave without eatingSpecial Features:
- Never got a table...OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014Our dinner reservations were for the evening of the Paul McCartney concert in the adjacent Petco Ballpark. When we arrived 30 minutes early, we checked in but could see that the restaurant was seriously overbooked. We waited until long after our 6:30 reservation time had come and passed but we were never called. We went to the concert without dinner.
- Poor managementOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/28/2014We have eaten at McCormick & Schmick's several times... they have good food. Service is leisurely, but usually prompt when we are going to an event (we have eaten prior to ball games ). However, this visit we had poor service.. management had not planned for large crowds. We had reservations for dinner 1 hr /45 min before a concert and barely made it . When reservation made, wrote in special instructions were going to the concert . We checked in 30 minutes early to let them know we were there &reminded them of the concert We were seated 30 minutes late, it took 20 minutes to have someone come and take our order and another 40 minutes before the dinner arrived....15 minutes to eat!!Special Features:
- you asked for itOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/28/2014We booked this restaurant for the location next to Petco Park for the Paul McCartney concert. I have eater there several times and likes the restaurant. Well, they absolutely did not have their act together this night. They booked too many people at the same time and I venture to say most everyone left unhappy. A 75% house with happy customers is much better than a full house with disappointed customers. Service stunk, food took forever, one meal was just warn like it was sitting waiting for the other entrée to be competed. One drink did not taste like what was orfered but it took 1/2 to get it so it would do no good to send it back.
- Negative experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014This is a place I will never go to again. The service was terrible & the food was awful. I was so upset when I left, after being jacked for a $60 tab for slop that was inedible, I wrote a letter to the corporate office. I would not recommend this restaurant to my friend. Instead, I would strongly talk them out of going there.
- DisappointedPhuudluvrDined on 9/28/2014Had previously dined here several yrs ago and enjoyed it then. Tried it again on 9/28 before Sir Paul's show and was not impressed. Pleasant, but slow service. They had table #'s hand written on a piece of scrap paper sitting on the table to help the new(?) wait staff. Tacky! Bacon wrapped scallops were way over salted with undercooked centers. The coho salmon was not well paired with the overwhelming turnips and it was over cooked and dry. With all the better options downtown I won't return.
- Last minute good choiceguppieeyesDined on 9/20/2014We were staying at the Hilton across the street for a triathlon and needed a nice dinner before the race. We ended up here. Our meal was delicious. We will be back next time we are in town.Special Features:
- wonderful restaurantfoodiexplorerDined on 9/12/2014We will be back and we will be bringing more family and friends. The meal was just amazing and the service was great. The restaurant itself was nice looking. You felt private and the tables were not on top of each other. The noise level was nice, you could hear each other talk without any problems. This would be a perfect place for a special date, a business meeting lunch or dinner. I highly recommend it and so do the other three people that were in our party. They even printed the Happy Birthday message to our guest on our menu, which was an excellent presentation. It was rolled up with a ribbon and presented to us at the end of the meal for a nice touch. The delicious chocolate flourless cake was a kind and delicious perk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experience...SdDiningDtDined on 9/3/2014My parents were in town and wanted some top notch seafood. We had a bit of a challenge trying to get to the restaraunt due to the road closures from the padres game. We missed our reservation but when we finally did arrive, Fernando was very accommodating and made us feel welcome. He found us a great table, gave us a free calamari appetizer and continually checked up on us throughout the meal. Our waiter was extremely knowledgable about the menu, and provided us with subperb service. I would recommend this place to all my friends :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh SeafoodAceBVIPDined on 9/3/2014M&S consistently has great seafood dishes. And if you want a steak you will be delighted. I think they get their beef from their sister Resturant Morton's. I bring my family for a pre Padres dinner. But my wife and I came for Valentines Dinner too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, location, ServiceDinnerprosDined on 8/18/2014My wife and I had our anniversary dinner at McCormick & Schmick's. I ordered a NY Strip what was cooked perfectly and tasty. My wife order the steal-head salmon that she enjoyed greatly. Our Server was friendly and attentive. She made some great recommendations which took and ordered. Thumbs up!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Near petco parkSjcjoVIPDined on 8/11/2014Chose this spot for the location near the ballpark . Service was attentive, food was average for the price.
- disappointedrickDined on 8/9/2014Waitress was very nice but she took a long time to bring our drinks and to take our order. It was not busy at all, one other table beside ours. When our food came so did the flies. We spent most of time shooing the flies away, didn't enjoy our dinner. My wife asked for a medium stake, she got a dry overcooked steak. We don't like to return our food. Just a bad experience.Special Features:
- MVCADined on 8/8/2014We were in San Diego celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary. The service was exceptional. When we first arrive we were escorted to a table, that was nice... but wanted something a little more private. Later in the evening, before our entre arrived a table came available and we were asked if we still wanted the booth setting. My husband and I had forgotten about the request, but the manager remembered. That was very nice of the manager to remember and escorted us to our private booth.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FastdanDined on 8/6/2014Very nice but not exceptional. We would go back for a fine dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!BreeDined on 8/2/2014My boyfriend and I ordered the Bone-In Ribeye and the Sole. The ribeye cut like butter and the sole was crispy and buttery. However, the sides that it came with were not anything special. The service was great; our server was attentive and helpful. The seating was private and intimate. Overall great dining experience. :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food & Lovely RestaurantPalominoDined on 8/2/2014Six of us celebrated a birthday on Saturday in a quiet booth and had a terrific dinner and server, Carl. The seafood - tuna tartare, mussels, California sea bass, blackened ahi tuna and a massive juicy hamburger were excellent. The sides - Brussels sprouts and mac cheese and fried were very tasty. Wine list was interesting and provided a range of prices. Our waiter Carl made a terrific suggestion on a zinfandel which we loved. Great food, wonderful environment where you can hear one another talk and have lively dinner conversation, and superior service. We live in the neighborhood and will be back again and again.Special Features:
- Great placeTrev504Dined on 8/1/2014We went for a work function with 9 people and needed to bring two kids. They let them have a table next to the adults . They where great and we had a wonderful time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ClovisDined on 8/1/2014Great place to have a quiet dinner. Loved the halibut. I'm not in San Diego enough, but I would definitely return to McCormick & Schmick's again. There are some pretty good seafood restaurants in the area, but this is high on the list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pre - Game BiteMartyDined on 8/1/2014We went to McCormick & Schmick's before the Padres game. Good beers on tap, good wine, and the best food for the money. I had the Ahi dinner and it was great. Best is that we were in and out in time for the first pitch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TerryDined on 7/27/2014Went for the Lobster Bisque at the request of my nephew. We all had lobster bisque, it was delicious and outstanding. Our entree's were also very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, poor serviceexperiencedDined on 7/26/2014Our waiter was really poor but other staff should have made up for the waiter's lack of attention. It took a very long time for him to take our order and neither he, nor any other helper, came back to ask how we were doing, refill water, etc. Our table didn't have all place settings on it when we arrived and we simply didn't have anyone to ask! We were sitting in a booth and had to stand in the aisle multiple times to get anyone to look at us. Our party of six expected much more from this restaurant when comparing the price/category to other similar restaurants.
- Amazing!ktlredDined on 7/26/2014Everything about this visit was amazing! Despite being completely overrun by Comi-Con, the staff still provided incredibly friendly & efficient service, and the food was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Down hillOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/19/2014Food was overlooked, service rude and allowed homeless in restaurant
- Celebrated Wedding AnniversaryDineNamicDined on 7/19/2014We had a really nice private table, the food was excellent and service was great. They even printed our names and "Happy Anniversary" on the menus, which got to take home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special nightFoodloverDined on 7/18/2014My husband and I made a same day reservation for our anniversary and we absolutely made the right choice. The staff led by Fernando went out of their way to make sure we had an amazing dinner - from personalized menus, secluded table, special apps and dessert to the sous chef coming out with our server Carol Ann to say Happy Anniversary. The food was great but what really made our night was the people. Thank you for making our night so memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceTucsonDocDined on 7/12/2014We found this restaraunt to be friendly and the waiter excellent. The manager stopped by our table to make sure all was well, and even comped us a couple of small sorbets. He is a new manager apparantly and really gave a personal touch, showing he really cared for our opinon of his establshment. The seafood here is excellent, great Colorado Rockfish, perfectly prepared.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointing!ksmedstadDined on 7/6/2014The potatoes were dry and un- seasoned, the mashed potatoes tasted like instant, and the broccoli was over salted. The blue cheese salad had good flavor but little dressings and toppings. The steak was okay. The macaroni and cheese was excellent. However the macaroni and cheese shouldn't be the best part of the meal at this price.Special Features:
- Great PlaceBaseballmom26Dined on 7/5/2014We love this place before and after a Padre Game! Food & drinks are always good, staff is very professional. Atmosphere is great, and it's an easy walk to the ballpark.Special Features:

- Beautiful Momentsdennemr1Dined on 6/18/2014My husband and I celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary. The food was excellent and the ambiance was perfect. Although it was Padre game day and there were a lot of people at the bar, they cleared out real quick and we even got the pre-game menu, which was a perfect deal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional personal serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/15/2014GREAT Crab Tower, Shrimp cocktail, fresh grilled halibut, and apple/walnut pie was a dream. We'll be sure to return for more; not to mention the personal service from arrival to departure from all the staff (especially Fernando!).Special Features:
- The following 794 reviews are from the McCormick & Schmick's Seafood - San Diego reviews archive.
- Celebration LunchFogartyFam3Dined on 6/2/2014Me and my family came for lunch to celebrate my husbands last promotion ceremony with the Coast Guard. The service was great and the server Bobby and the manager Fernando were very attentive and really great in making sure our family had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent so much so that my picky ten year old son tried something new (crabmeat and fig appetizer) and thought it was great. Overall it was a wonderful lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- enjoy lunch and dinner thereKeihDined on 6/2/2014During my visit of San Diego, I was there twice, once for group lunch and another occasion for dinner. Those were awesome experience to have good food there. Of course, their seafood was good, but burger and steak were good, too.Special Features:
- Great Seafood RestaurantRedSoxFanVIPDined on 5/31/2014Oysters and Martini's to start were exceptional. One of the few places that has Boodles gin. Scallops and risotto were perfect together. Swordfish a treat, don't usually see this on menus elsewhere. Nice that its local/Baja catch and absolutely fresh. Got to sit in the Padres booth, ten years has passed quickly, nice photos.Special Features:

Pipe laying operations
Combining the data provides detailed information too costly to obtain
from echosounding alone.
Radar images, such as those derived from the ERS-1 satellite, show the
bottom topography in swallow waters, when currents are present.
This figure shows the effect caused
by the underlying topography on the sea surface, and so on the intensity of
the returning radar signal.
Traditionally, pipeline laying operations follow these steps:
Today, tradition merges with modern techniques. One example is the Bathymetric Assessment System, developed in Holland, which combines echosounding and ESR-1 SAR observations.
Starting from radar imagery, a first-guess of depth is made using a relatively simple imaging model which describes how the radar can read the bathymetry. Based on this depth estimate, a detailed conventional survey is planned. The imaging model is used to reconstruct the final depths from radar imagery and using the conventional depth observations as standards.
The system has been used succesfully in surveying an area northwest of Zeebrugge,
off Hollands North Sea coast. This ERS-1 image
has been aquired over the area, on the 1st of September 1993. The yellow box
denotes the mapped area.
An absolute accuracy in the order of 30 cm has been achieved, which is
comparable to that obtained by most standars echosounders. Similar systems
can be used in other swallow water regions of the world.

It has been almost a year and a half since I was in Hawai'i; it's the longest I have been away.
I miss swimming the afternoons in the ocean with my dad, chasing his fins.
Running from the aquatic life; even strokes like I am flying.
Breathe in gasping for sustenance, exhale bubbles of success.
I miss plate lunches, good Japanese food, and all the fusion food.
I miss year-round BBQs without shooing away insects and animals I'm unfamiliar with.
Rice in every plate, mochi in drinks, nostalgia in every bite.
I miss the trade winds.
I miss the constant, gentle reminder of being part of something bigger than myself.
I miss the hemmajang speech collecting words from every language.
But one heart.
I miss the flowers, the colors, and all the crazy prints.
The way the sun shines, the tempo of life.
I miss my friends.
I miss my family.
I might miss Hawai'i more than I thought I would.

Any woman will tell you a good hair day can make it a great day all around. Age can take its toll on those good hair days by taking away the shine, the color, and the fullness. Kevin Gatto is not a doctor, but after styling hundreds of heads in the salon. I think he has some pretty good advice about disguising thinning hair.
"Sometimes if your hair is too dark, it's fine, it's going to look more see through at the scalp, so you want to find a color that almost blends it. Not skin color but something warmer that gives the illusion of more dense hair." said Gatto.
He also adds that by coloring your hair you can bring back some of the shine as well, and he says be careful using mouse or gels where the first ingredient is alcohol. Because alcohol will dry out your hair even more and add to the dryness.
Now, some medical advice from the Cleveland Clinic, women who are losing their hair may want to consider having their iron level checked by a doctor. Sometimes, you don't have to be anemic, but low iron levels could be thinning your hair. Many studies have shown that heavy drinking, divorce, and stress can play a role in hair loss as well.

Yulan — Welcome to the von Steuben Day Parade, where the wurst is the best, the music has oompah and the beer is near, dear and plentiful.
Yesterday's event also featured Bavarian Musik Verein of Binghamton, the Schuhplattler Folk Dancers and the Germania Almraulsch. The last one means "Germans excited about high mountains," according to member G.J. Doedee of Poughkeepsie.
And it has lots of floats, more than one of which Heinrick Leutje helped to build this year. The Yulan resident, who moved here from Germany, has had a hand in the parade since the German-American Clubs of Middletown, Port Jervis and Wallenpaupack, Pa., first teamed up for the parade 16 years ago.
Best Float
First: Lumberland-Circle Park, It's a Small World
Second: German Alrausch, Flags of Germany
Third: Heinrick Leutje, who worked on three floats.
Most Original Entry
First: Wallenpaupack German-American Club
Second: Town of Highland Democrats
Third: Eldred Central School
Since then, folks have been swarming into Yulan, 2,000 strong and more, to celebrate the doings of one Baron Friedrich von Steuben.
So who was he? Even Leutje said he didn't know. "We didn't know him in Germany. We're not political," he said.
Master of ceremonies James Gutekunst had the answer. Von Steuben was a Prussian officer who found himself at loose ends after the Seven Years War. In 1777, he met Benjamin Franklin in Paris. Von Steuben volunteered his services, asking for "just compensation" only if the revolution succeeded.
By February of 1778, von Steuben was at Valley Forge, Pa. He drilled discipline and tactics into groups of hand-picked soldiers. In June of 1778, von Steuben was inspector general of the Continental Army and his men won the Battle of Monmouth, a turning point in the war.
After the war, von Steuben became an American citizen. But not until 1790 did he receive his "just compensation," a yearly pension of $2,500 per year.

Boiler Simulation HMI
Hi All.
I am trying to simulate a functional boiler demo in a browser.Its going to be a
GUI for the control/Monitoring of the BOiler
You can see a design here:
1.) Demo overview
The Demo application shows the heating of a fluid in Boiler. By opening the Valves
the boiler is filled with fluid and the burner is ignited. After a while the
temperature of the fluid starts increasing which you can see by looking at the
temperature trend display. If the temperature will get too high then the burner
will be shut off. You can also watch the changes in temperature or volume in the
trend on the right side.
2.) Demo features
The demo is featuring simple trend display, interactive objects (e.g. rotation of
the valve symbol) and the use of common symbols. Common symbols need to be drawn
only once. Any changes to them will apply automatically to all the symbols of the
same type. With the help of interactive objects the DEMO runs automatically. You
can control the outcome by controlling manually the valves.
Can somebody help me please. Any help or guidance will be gratefull.
I am still learning so i find this task as a challenge.
Thanks in advance

Also the background airfield should change respectively with position of aircraft. Is this project is possible using VB? If so, please suggest some code samples, books etc.. I am not familiar with Graphics in VB. Please help. Reply in detail.
Pid Simulation
I'm unable to translate the PID algorithm into vb code. I'm trying to make a pid simulation program. But I'm having trouble finding information about simulating the pid control and a process. Anyone having some information about this subject or any experience?
Greetings to you all,
Key Simulation
it's been forever since using vb, and now I'm trying to write a simple macro.
I want to simulate a key press, say for my example the SHIFT key
during searches I've found
SendKeys "{ENTER}"
so I tried changing it over to
SendKeys "{SHIFT}"
but it give an error
invalid procedure or argument,
any ideas?
also I'll want to simulate the keypress and a left mouse click at the same time. I can left mouse click with the mouse_event, any way to call them both at same time?
I just wanna know how do we simulate a keydown
if blah = 1 then
end if
Car Simulation
I am kind of new to VB and I need your help. I am doing a car simulation in vb. I am trying to flash two pictures one at a time in front of the windshield. My pictures are flashing way to fast and I would like to have a moment time where no pictures pop up rather than having the pictures pop up on after another when the timer3 and timer4 are enabled. I would like the pictures to flash randomly and there should be a break of at least 10 seconds between the two pictures.
I have attached my form. Your help is greatly apprectiated.
Here is my code:
ption Explicit
Dim intSpeed As Integer
Private Sub cmdDecreaseSpeed_Click()
'Decrement the speed
If (intSpeed > 0) Then
intSpeed = intSpeed - 1
lblSpeed.Caption = intSpeed
End If
End Sub

Gas Simulation
What is the best of sending and receiving realtime data between multiple computers on an ethernet network using VB controls. This program will be VERY processor intensive, but transmits very little data, also it is important that the computers remain synchronized, and that the network administrator does not find out. Also is there anyway of bypassing the OS and running the instructions straight to the processor.

i have a project like this, try to fill in water to a container. how to show the increasing or decreasing of the water level by using vb code?!!
anyone has the solution, pls let me know... i am really new to vb, so there is a lot of things i dont know, thanks....
2d Physics Simulation
I have a hobby-level project I've been working on and off with for about a year:
Esentially it's supposed to be an asteroids-based rock-shooter with physics. So far, I've implemented most of the game dynamics - the rocks/ship can move and rotate, split when destroyed, etc. So far it's coming along pretty well. You can even make your own asteroids from within the game. The problem I'm having is with the dynamics (collision detection/respone). So far, It can tell whether or not there is a collision (all valid objects are rigid body convex polygons), but where to go from there is sketchy at best. I currently respond to collisions thus:
Private Sub ColResponse(Object1 As PhysicObject, Object2 As PhysicObject)
Dim Ratio1 As Single
Dim Ratio2 As Single
Dim OldV1 As Single
Dim OldV2 As Single
Object1.Origin.X = Object1.Origin.X - 2 * Object1.XVel
Object1.Origin.Y = Object1.Origin.Y - 2 * Object1.YVel
Object2.Origin.X = Object2.Origin.X - 2 * Object2.XVel
Object2.Origin.Y = Object2.Origin.Y - 2 * Object2.YVel
'move and rotate
If Object1.Mass = Object2.Mass Then
OldV1 = Object2.XVel
Object2.XVel = Object1.XVel
Object1.XVel = OldV1
OldV1 = Object2.YVel
Object2.YVel = Object1.YVel
Object1.YVel = OldV1
Ratio1 = 1 / (Object1.Mass + Object2.Mass)
Ratio2 = Object1.Mass - Object2.Mass
OldV1 = Object1.XVel
OldV2 = Object2.XVel
Object1.XVel = (OldV1 * Ratio2 + 2 * Object2.Mass * OldV2) * Ratio1
Object2.XVel = (OldV2 * -Ratio2 + 2 * Object1.Mass * OldV1) * Ratio1
OldV1 = Object1.YVel
OldV2 = Object2.YVel
Object1.YVel = (OldV1 * Ratio2 + 2 * Object2.Mass * OldV2) * Ratio1
Object2.YVel = (OldV2 * -Ratio2 + 2 * Object1.Mass * OldV1) * Ratio1
End If
End Sub
Most of this is just place holder - the bounce and stuff, but things like rotational dynamis are completely ignored, and all collisions are assumed to take place along a primary axis - not the more realistic axis of collision. Now I already know a bit about physics, but the thing I need the most is a good tutorial on dynamics. I've searched through four different physics books to no avail, and the Chris Heckler article that crops up on 80% of websites on the topic is as informative as a block of petrified wood. I even tried slogging through sourceforge, but all of the results were either 3d, used precompiled .dlls, were done in c#, java et. al., require .net '05, etc. I only have VS6 and .Net '03, and can only program in VB, and plain-vanilla c++. Laugh if you will, but I am still a hobbyist (I'm also a computer engineer in training). Any information would be handy.
Robot Arm Simulation
I need some code (preferably VB6 using DirectX 8) or code samples that has a 3D robot arm with 3,4 or more joints that the user can position by buttons or keystrokes or whatever. Anybody know where I might get ahold of such? Appreciated.
Projectile Simulation
i'm working on this project.. a user inputs an angle and a velocity and by using this, the ball will move accordingly and will either hit the target (randomly placed in a field which is a line whenever the game loads) or the ground..
my problem is: the ball doesnt go down.. i think the computer is substituting the values in the textboxes that the user input to the formula... but the ball doesn't go downb.. it shoots right up to the air..
the ball is supposed to make a curve (parabola) but then it doesn't..
i will appreciate you help greatly..
LCD Display Simulation
This is a little demo on simulating LCD display (like the one on your cell phone).
It uses 180 x 180 screen to draw and supports colors.
Basic character set is shown in the code (from A to Z), so if you want to use it, expand it to full chr set (sharacters are made in 5x7 format).
Method to draw anything to the surface is DrawPixel. With it, you can set each individual bit (pixel, LCD segment,...) on or off. This method is also used by PrintText.
You can add your own calculations to draw various objects on the display.
NOTE: Whe you print the text, make sure to raplace vbCrLf with vbLf!
Walking Simulation
Hi folks,
how can i make an walking simulation?
i mean i think i have to move the weapon i'm holding a little up and down but what kind of algoritms are there to do this? i mean i have seen that some use sinus but that is very slow so how can i do this?
How To Use Value From Txtbox For The Simulation To Run?
Hi Freinds,
I am using @RISK simulation library for my visual basic project. In the code I want the user to insert their own value. But when I tried to do like that it gave me an error "invalid function string". Here is some of the code:
Dim a, b, c As String
a = txtMin.Text
b = txtAve.Text
c = txtMax.Text
With RDKApp
.Outputs.Add "biruk"
.Inputs.Add "Input1", "RISKPert(a,b,c)"
But when I put number ....."RISKPert(1,2,3)" the simulation run. I don't know what to do any help appreciated?
Help About A Simulation Program...
a simulation program about money transferring by Credit card or Bank to bank transaction..
Can someone here explain how does it work? For example i have a company and with a online ordering system, when a customer buys to me via internet how do the transaction is processed? I dont need the code cause we can make it if only we just know the main logic of it and how does a "ADD TO CART" online ordering system is processed.. thnx...
Parabolic Simulation,
How do I create a simulation of a, for instance, ball taking a path of a parabola from one side to the other? Perhaps altering the angle and the initial speed at which the ball is thrown. I would really appreciate if any of you could give me an idea of where to begin and construct this type of simulation.

Advanced M&K Simulation
I have made this program called Mouse Simulator. It is basicly a function that takes a Form, a Control on that form, and a optional string. Then it moves mouse over the control, clicks, and then simulates keypresses to write the string.
It works fine, but it is limited to controls on my own form. I could be nice if i could get it to work outside my program. Example would be to feed it with the start button, or make it double click on the icon on my desktop called My Computer.
Is that possible?
Code Simulation
How would I make a code simulator with like a textbox and a command button and whatever the user types in, it will actually use what they typed as code. For example:
Text1.text = "MsgBox("I Like JellyBeans!")"
How can I make it Execute Text1.text?

Enter Key Simulation
Is it possible to add simulation of pressing Enter key after I pressed any other key on keyboard. I mean, if I press, for example key "p", it responds with KeyAscii=112 and how to add (or simulate) Enter key to capture KeyAscii=13 and to pass letter "p" to another procedure.
In short, I want to generate Enter key press, after every key press (in Text control) and to use KeyPress event for Text Box to reckognize KeyAscii=13.
Keystroke Simulation
I need to simulate keystrokes for a program that clicks each message that pops up on my home computer. One of the messages is a simple message box, with a simple OK thing, saying that my Anti-spyware isn't working, and if I want to access online help. All of the others are pretty much the same, and have the same irrelevance in my program.
What it needs to do is:
Run on start up (know)
Press enter four times on each message box
Close after enter has been pressed each time (know)
but whenever I use this API call...
keybd_event vbkeyReturn, 0, 0, 0 'press key
keybd_event vbkeyReturn, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0 ' release key
it sends the keystroke to the form itself...i think
How can I change the call, or set something else, to ensure that the message is 'clicked' each time
I also need to know how to detect when the message pops up, but I could just press enter for about ten seconds, but it would be nice to have it event driven, or a cheap equvalent of that.
I just tried this code
SendMessage hWindow, WM_CHAR, VK_A, 0&
and it didn't work
Intersection Simulation
I have to do a road intersection simulation, and I've started, but cannot get the lights to run in sequence properly.
I've attached the form, so if anyone can please tell me what I have done wrong, then I would appreciate it.
I only tried the East-West lights, North-South are not coded yet.
Thanks again.
OFDM Simulation

please share me ideal to write a program to simulate OFDM system???
Lottery Simulation
I'm trying to simulate a lottery.
How can I get each number (6 in total for Label1 to Label6) to display with a gap of say 2 seconds between each number displaying? Currently they all show at once.
I placed a For/Next loop between each set but that just caused a delay between clicking the button and the numbers displaying.
Maybe I should be using a Do/While or Do/Until loop but I can't get my head around that logic at the moment. Can explain it with a simple example?
VB Code:
Dim intNum As IntegerRandomizeintNum = Int((49 * Rnd) + 1)Label1 = intNumEnd Sub

Traffic/Car Simulation
Hello folks!
I post this here to get some good ideas on how to simulate traffic flow in Visual Basic. I need about 20 cars, each with different velocities.
If one car stops those that are behind of it should get slower till one after the other stops. Same when starting but the other way round.
I think I will use arrays with car Index, Velocity and Position in x direction. My major problem is that I don't know how to get them run seperately.
Using a timer for each car seems quite senseless to me. How could I put it into a Loop function so that every car's velocity is calculeted based on
the car in front of it. I think I would need to define a reaction time and minimum distance or something.
If you got any idea then post it! Just post what you think. Maybe VB isn't even the right language for doing it and I should try that in Java?
But VB is the language I know the best. Thank you
Keyboard Simulation
I need to write a program that when someone in another app hits the semi-colon key it automatically simulates the user holding down the alt key until the user hits the semi-colon key again.
I can get my program to listen for the semi-colon and respond when the key is hit, but I do not know how to simulate the Holding of the Alt key.
Thanks in advance,

Billiards Physics Simulation
This is a physics simulation I wrote to be eventually used in a Pool/Billiards game. Please try it out let me know if you encounter any problems, or notice any defects (it looks pretty neat to watch too ).
In the Main method in modMain you can change the initial positions and velocities of the balls, currently they are just set to pretty random locations and velocities (but it looks pretty neat). If you want you can change the number of balls by changing the constant in the modGlobals module. I've tested a few different scenarios, such as when all the balls are lined up in a line, and one crashes into it (it properly transfers all momentum to the last ball in the line in this situation).
I'm currently having a problem on my NT4 system where it will crash (or just close without warning) after running for a few minutes, when I get home I'll try it on my XP box see if that fixes it.
Also for some as of yet unexplained reason, the balls start to slow down if you let it run for a while. My first guess would be that this is due to accumulated floating point rounding errors, but I haven't had a chance to investigate it yet.
Note: Currently this is a frictionless rigid body system, so nothing should slow down, and there is no accounting for ball deformations on impact, or ball "spin".
Pendulum / Rope Simulation
I've been trying for a few days now how to figure out a reliable way to simulate a rope or string. The most obvious way to use a system of connected springs which is a method that is demonstrated in a few tutorials. However I don't find this works in a way I'd like. If I add a large weight onto the rope it just streches and becomes much too long. Also if I pull on one end of the rope it takes too much time to respond before the other end of the rope moves.
So I thought I need a way to fix a maximum distance between each node of the rope. Effectively this should act like a bunch of balls held together by lengths of string rather than elastic springs. One method I thought of is reposition the node so that it is always less than the maximum distance away from the previous node. However this does nothing to the velocity of the node and will not make the node swing like a pendulum. Somehow I need to adjust the velocity of the nodes while under acceleration due to gravity and at the same time maintain a maximum distance from the previous node. Does anyone have any ideas of how to do this?

Evolution Simulation Tips
I wrote an evolution simulation in DOS long time ago and currently thinking about doing it again for the fun of it.
My method was to create animal by using a scripted like:
Type Animal
Action(1000) as integer
Vala(1000) as integer
Valb(1000) as integer
xPosition as integer
yPosition as integer
Direction as integer
Alive as integer
end type
Tuna() As Animal 'there were anchovy and plankton also
Have animals act by a case statement:
While (NumCycles<Max)
For i = 1 to AllAnimals
select case Tuna(i).Action(Index)
Case 1
Case 2
Case 3
Case 4
case 5
end select
end sub
end sub
Animal data types were filled first by random numbers and by placing a Test, 10% survived and where duplicated 1000 times each. This ofspring were slightly changed and retested.
I want to know if anyone has any suggestions on a better way to simulate evolution.
The objective of this experiement was to see if randomly moving computer models could start to move strategically toward its pray and prey move evasively away without inherent programming bios.
Create Telnet Simulation
i am trying to create a telnet simulation where user can input ion a textbox and then the texbox can reply based on the input. the problem is that when i tried to place a fake shell prompt ()e.g., text1.text = text1.text & reply & "# ") the cursor is placed below the "# ". what i want is to place the cursor after the "# " only so the prog can be realistic. how can i do that?
Keyboard Strokes Simulation
How can i select the text in the notepad or in word anywhere using keybd_event .

Can Any One Help Me Out With Elevator Simulation Program
Can anyone help me out with this project
i need to write a program in visual j++ 6.0
The problem we want to address is that of simulating an automatic elevator (that is, one in which there is no human operator). Just as with real elevators, riders may call for the elevator from and exit to any floor in the building that contains it. The elevator should remain idle until a request is made for service, and should then continue to operate until all requests have been satisfied. For the sake of simplicity, we will assume that all passengers behave in an expected manner. That is, when passengers request service from a particular floor, they are expected to board the elevator as soon as it stops at that floor (so in this model there is no changing your mind and taking the stairs). Also, on entering the elevator each passenger will request to be taken to a single floor and will leave the elevator as soon as it reaches that floor. Finally, there is a maximum capacity of 10 riders for our elevator. Any number of passengers may ride at one time.
1 - define appropriate classes and objects
2 - design and code a Java program which will simulate the elevator operation. You should design your program so that it accepts elevator commands from a disk file called "Elevator.dat". It should allow the following commands:
1 floor# (this command specifies a pickup at floor #)
2 floor# (this command specifies a departure at floor #)
3 (Display elevator status - operating/waiting, etc. and floor number)
You must display the positioning of the elevator as you execute the various commands. Positioning includes floor numbers and direction.
Your job is to prepare a program that simulates the operation of the elevator simulation.
About The Animal's Simulation Project
About the animal's simulation project, i have another problem to
ask. That is,Whether there is any one who can provide a source code, which can be used for generating a specail terrai manually. Of cause 3D is best, but at first step if a 2D contour map can be displayed, that is enough.
thanks a lot!!!
Appending A Log For An Intermolecular Force Simulation
Ok fellas, here's what I've got going on (I'll try to keep it short and sweet):
I'm working on an intermolecular force model for a thesis project, and I don't yet have any experience with visual basic (funny huh?) so I'm getting a real trial by fire here. About the only programming experience I have is with Matlab. What I'm trying to do is adjust this model that my professor hammered out for simulating a compression test to simulate shrinkage in cement (probably by first displacing the outer molecules out, then later changing to a more 'correct' model). The goal of the model is to visualize the formations of bubbles in the cement as it shrinks. The current model uses a simple 'spring' force between the molecules (Force = (spring constant k)*(distance)) that I'll be replacing with a more 'correct' Lennard-Jones style interaction. It is a 2D model, and if all goes ok with it, eventually it will be grown into a full-blown 3D model.
My first task is to find a way to 'record' what happens as the model progresses, because I want to have the model eventually indicate when any of the 'molecules' have moved far enough away from any of the others that a bubble is imminent. So I was thinking that the best way to do this would be to append a .txt file at each time step with the x,y coordinates of each 'molecule'. This will obviously create some pretty big files. That way, I can compare the x,y coordinates when a bubble is imminent to the originals and create some sort of 'strain field' and display it. That is what my professor wants out of me, just to output a visualization of the strain field when a bubble is about to form.
So how would you guys suggest that I pull off the part where I record all of the x,y's at each time step?
Below is the code that I've got so far. You'll have to ctrl-break it to stop it, it's not a very good program. If you have any more questions about the project or the physics of what I'm trying to model, I could post lots more info for you. I'll try to post pictures of what the i,j relationships are between the molecules, I have to scan some images for that.
So what do y'all think? (Be gentle, I'm just a beginner )
Wanna Join An RPG Fantasy Simulation?
On this other board I frequent, we batted around the idea of an RPG Fantasy Sim where each person would submit a text file (representing a character) to a program which I would make. It would then perform combat between all players and rank them from best to worst. (Sort of like an idea I posted here long ago).
In order to submit an entry, I'd lay down the ground rules on this forum once I'm done and you'd spend "points" on your char's stats and equipment, trying to give your char the best winning combination. If anyone would be interested, please email me at...
...with a subject of RPG Sim or whatever. The reason I'm branching out to this forum as well is because I haven't gotten enough interest on the other forum to make it worth my while. (And if there aren't enough people, I won't bother creating it at all). And I thought maybe some here would be mildly interested, but if not, I understand.
Simple Simulation Game With A Few Problems.
I am making a game that is a bit childish but I'll still have fun wasting time with it once it's done. it's a point-and-click game, nothing too fancy, just a simple Sims ripoff for the music industry. The game is a rock star simulation game that changes depending on your heath, money, job, etc. etc. and I want to start the game a certain way and save games a certain way.
I want it to:
1) save the values of all variables necessary (the money you have, your name, your job, etc. as well as custom bandmate names and competition band names) in a non-user editable file.
2) save the game in a file with a custom extension (if possible).
3) not have an open/save dialog with a directory open, but instead a dialog showing what game-names you have saved games under, and perhaps a most recent save date to accompany it.
4) start with the the load game or new game dialog appearing at the beginning of the program every time. If you select a new game you must enter your first name in a window and (optionally) enter a last name as well. When any of these pre-game dialog boxes are open and active, the main form must be disabled and the mini form(s) must stay in the foreground.
I've heard it's not a good idea to use the Visible property to control the whole foreground/background thing, so I don't plan on keeping that with the game.
I've attached what I have done so far, and if someone could actually start off some of the source and such and pack it up in a .zip file to send back, I would greatly appreciate it. A good tutorial explaining some part of this would be helpful as well. As a matter of fact, I'd appreciate any help.
And I know I will most likely never be able to return the favor unless you are a beginning guitarist needing help on setup or learning, but please, if you can and it's not too much of a bother, help me out a little with this.
Pendulum Motion - SIMULATION HELP Needed
Pendulum motion - SIMULATION HELP Needed
Pendulum Motion Synthesis with Math
Trying to understand how to model the natural movements of a pendulum in a programming language.
Not sure where to start, I know that certain constants must be involved but unsure exactly how this would all work together.
If I apply a certain amount of force with a certain length of string I should tend to get certain amounts of arc, swing, circular rotation and duration of momentum in relation to the original force and gravity.
So somehow math values such as pi (for circular motion), a gravitational constant, possible phi or theta, ranging variables for string length and forces applied, etc.... must all work together. Perhaps "e" would be involved somehow as well....?
I'd like the programming routine to be very close to a real world example, as far as accuracy goes.
In other words if i take a string length of 8 inches, with say a one ounce weight, and apply a specifc amount of force, it will swing X times in a linear fashion, losing Y amount of momentum, at the occurence of duration XY it will stop swinging in a linear fashion and begin Clockwise rotation and do so XXY times, again losing Y amount of momentum and then after another duration move counter clock wise, etc.... but...
Id like the software to predict very closely what would actually happen in the real world scenario.
How would formula being written to solve this scenario?
Math examples? Code examples?

Noob In Carpark Simulation Program
As of the subject of this thread, I'm currently having difficulties in having my carpark simulation program working.
The problem is due to my usage of the "Do While" commands.
The program simply freezes whenever i tried to run it.
Anyway, I've attached the zip file as for those who might be able to help.
Thank you and regards
Mouse Simulation: Drag & Drop
I'm trying to drag and drop something within Internet Explorer on a web site. This seems to work when it wants to. I'd say 1/10 times it work correctly. Most of the time it clicks back and forward not dragging and dropping. Any help please?
Sub DragAndDrop(ByVal X1&, ByVal Y1&, ByVal X2&, ByVal Y2&)
Dim mCommand As MouseCommand
SetCursorPos X1, Y1
For i = 1 To m
With mCommand
.iFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN
SendInput 1&, mCommand, Len(mCommand)
End With
Next i
SetCursorPos X2, Y2
For i = 1 To m
With mCommand
.iFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE
SendInput 1&, mCommand, Len(mCommand)
End With
Next i
For i = 1 To m
With mCommand
.iFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN
SendInput 1&, mCommand, Len(mCommand)
End With
Next i
End Sub

why do jellyfish only sting when theres physical contact
why doesnt the electricity just surge throughout the entire ocean
why dont jellyfish rule the world
Fun fact! Jellyfish don't use electricity to sting you. Whenever they feel pressure against their tentacles, it causes its cells to rapidly send out these stingers into your skin that then release its venom. Like this:
Imagine God returns to earth in Season 9 and he is just like
"Hey guys I'm back, what did I miss-"
to be honest i ship everyone from supernatural with everyone on teen wolf like Samuel Campbell and Gerard Argent what what.
