The horizon (or skyline) is the apparent line that separates earth from sky, the line that divides all visible directions into two categories: those that intersect the Earth's surface, and those that do not. At many locations, the true horizon is obscured by trees, buildings, mountains, etc., and the resulting intersection of earth and sky is called the visible horizon. When looking at a sea from a shore, the part of the sea closest to the horizon is called the offing. The word horizon derives from the Greek "ὁρίζων κύκλος" horizōn kyklos, "separating circle", from the verb ὁρίζω horizō, "to divide", "to separate", and that from "ὅρος" (oros), "boundary, landmark".
Historically, the distance to the visible horizon at sea has been extremely important as it represented the maximum range of communication and vision before the development of the radio and the telegraph. Even today, when flying an aircraft under Visual Flight Rules, a technique called attitude flying is used to control the aircraft, where the pilot uses the visual relationship between the aircraft's nose and the horizon to control the aircraft. A pilot can also retain his or her spatial orientation by referring to the horizon.
In many contexts, especially perspective drawing, the curvature of the Earth is disregarded and the horizon is considered the theoretical line to which points on any horizontal plane converge (when projected onto the picture plane) as their distance from the observer increases. For observers near sea level the difference between this geometrical horizon (which assumes a perfectly flat, infinite ground plane) and the true horizon (which assumes a spherical Earth surface) is imperceptible to the naked eye (but for someone on a 1000-meter hill looking out to sea the true horizon will be about a degree below a horizontal line).
In astronomy the horizon is the horizontal plane through (the eyes of) the observer. It is the fundamental plane of the horizontal coordinate system, the locus of points that have an altitude of zero degrees. While similar in ways to the geometrical horizon, in this context a horizon may be considered to be a plane in space, rather than a line on a picture plane.
Ignoring the effect of atmospheric refraction, distance to the horizon from an observer close to the Earth's surface is about
where d is in kilometres and h is height above ground level in metres.
With d in miles and h in feet,
Examples, assuming no refraction:
If the Earth is assumed to be a sphere with no atmosphere then the distance to the horizon can easily be calculated.
The secant-tangent theorem states that
Make the following substitutions:
The formula now becomes
where R is the radius of the Earth.
The equation can also be derived using the Pythagorean theorem. Since the line of sight is a tangent to the Earth, it is perpendicular to the radius at the horizon. This sets up a right triangle, with the sum of the radius and the height as the hypotenuse. With
referring to the second figure at the right leads to the following:
Another relationship involves the distance s along the curved surface of the Earth to the horizon; with γ in radians,
Solving for s gives
The distance s can also be expressed in terms of the line-of-sight distance d; from the second figure at the right,
substituting for γ and rearranging gives
The distances d and s are nearly the same when the height of the object is negligible compared to the radius (that is, h ≪ R).
If the observer is close to the surface of the earth, then it is valid to disregard h in the term (2R + h), and the formula becomes
Using kilometres for d and R, and metres for h, and taking the radius of the Earth as 6371 km, the distance to the horizon is
Using imperial units, with d and R in statute miles (as commonly used on land), and h in feet, the distance to the horizon is
If d is in nautical miles, and h in feet, the constant factor is about 1.06, which is close enough to 1 that it is often ignored, giving:
These formulas may be used when h is much smaller than the radius of the Earth (6371 km or 3959 mi), including all views from any mountaintops, airplanes, or high-altitude balloons. With the constants as given, both the metric and imperial formulas are precise to within 1% (see the next section for how to obtain greater precision).
If h is significant with respect to R, as with most satellites, then the approximation made previously is no longer valid, and the exact formula is required:
where R is the radius of the Earth (R and h must be in the same units). For example, if a satellite is at a height of 2000 km, the distance to the horizon is 5,430 kilometres (3,370 mi); neglecting the second term in parentheses would give a distance of 5,048 kilometres (3,137 mi), a 7% error.
To compute the greatest distance at which an observer can see the top of an object above the horizon, compute the distance to the horizon for a hypothetical observer on top of that object, and add it to the real observer's distance to the horizon. For example, for an observer with a height of 1.70 m standing on the ground, the horizon is 4.65 km away. For a tower with a height of 100 m, the horizon distance is 35.7 km. Thus an observer on a beach can see the top of the tower as long as it is not more than 40.35 km away. Conversely, if an observer on a boat (h = 1.7 m) can just see the tops of trees on a nearby shore (h = 10 m), the trees are probably about 16 km away.
Referring to the figure at the right, the top of the lighthouse will be visible to a lookout in a crow's nest at the top of a mast of the boat if
where DBL is in kilometres and hB and hL are in metres.
As another example, suppose an observer, whose eyes are two metres above the level ground, uses binoculars to look at a distant building which he knows to consist of thirty storeys, each 3.5 metres high. He counts the storeys he can see, and finds there are only ten. So twenty storeys or 70 metres of the building are hidden from him by the curvature of the Earth. From this, he can calculate his distance from the building:
which comes to about 35 kilometres.
It is similarly possible to calculate how much of a distant object is visible above the horizon. Suppose an observer's eye is 10 metres above sea level, and he is watching a ship that is 20 km away. His horizon is:
kilometres from him, which comes to about 11.3 kilometres away. The ship is a further 8.7 km away. The height of a point on the ship that is just visible to the observer is given by:
which comes to almost exactly six metres. The observer can therefore see that part of the ship that is more than six metres above the level of the water. The part of the ship that is below this height is hidden from him by the curvature of the Earth. In this situation, the ship is said to be hull-down.
If the Earth were an airless world like the Moon, the above calculations would be accurate. However, Earth has an atmosphere of air, whose density and refractive index vary considerably depending on the temperature and pressure. This makes the air refract light to varying extents, affecting the appearance of the horizon. Usually, the density of the air just above the surface of the Earth is greater than its density at greater altitudes. This makes its refractive index greater near the surface than higher, which causes light that is travelling roughly horizontally to be refracted downward. This makes the actual distance to the horizon greater than the distance calculated with geometrical formulas. With standard atmospheric conditions, the difference is about 8%. This changes the factor of 3.57, in the metric formulas used above, to about 3.86. This correction can be, and often is, applied as a fairly good approximation when conditions are close to standard. When conditions are unusual, this approximation fails. Refraction is strongly affected by temperature gradients, which can vary considerably from day to day, especially over water. In extreme cases, usually in springtime, when warm air overlies cold water, refraction can allow light to follow the Earth's surface for hundreds of kilometres. Opposite conditions occur, for example, in deserts, where the surface is very hot, so hot, low-density air is below cooler air. This causes light to be refracted upward, causing mirage effects that make the concept of the horizon somewhat meaningless. Calculated values for the effects of refraction under unusual conditions are therefore only approximate. Nevertheless, attempts have been made to calculate them more accurately than the simple approximation described above.
Outside the visual wavelength range, refraction will be different. For radar (e.g. for wavelengths 300 to 3 mm i.e. frequencies between 1 and 100 GHz) the radius of the Earth may be multiplied by 4/3 to obtain an effective radius giving a factor of 4.12 in the metric formula i.e. the radar horizon will be 15% beyond the geometrical horizon or 7% beyond the visual. The 4/3 factor is not exact, as in the visual case the refraction depends on atmospheric conditions.
Integration method—Sweer
If the density profile of the atmosphere is known, the distance d to the horizon is given by
where RE is the radius of the Earth, ψ is the dip of the horizon and δ is the refraction of the horizon. The dip is determined fairly simply from
where h is the observer's height above the Earth, μ is the index of refraction of air at the observer's height, and μ0 is the index of refraction of air at Earth's surface.
The refraction must be found by integration of
where is the angle between the ray and a line through the center of the Earth. The angles ψ and are related by
Simple method—Young
A much simpler approach, which produces essentially the same results as the first-order approximation described above, uses the geometrical model but uses a radius R′ = 7/6 RE. The distance to the horizon is then
Taking the radius of the Earth as 6371 km, with d in km and h in m,
with d in mi and h in ft,
Results from Young's method are quite close to those from Sweer's method, and are sufficiently accurate for many purposes.
From a point above the surface the horizon appears slightly bent (it is a circle). There is a basic geometrical relationship between this visual curvature , the altitude and the Earth's radius. It is
The curvature is the reciprocal of the curvature angular radius in radians. A curvature of 1 appears as a circle of an angular radius of 45° corresponding to an altitude of approximately 2640 km above the Earth's surface. At an altitude of 10 km (33,000 ft, the typical cruising altitude of an airliner) the mathematical curvature of the horizon is about 0.056, the same curvature of the rim of circle with a radius of 10 m that is viewed from 56 cm. However, the apparent curvature is less than that due to refraction of light in the atmosphere and because the horizon is often masked by high cloud layers that reduce the altitude above the visual surface. The Horizon curves by: sqrt(radius^2 + distance^2)-radius, equivalent to distance^2/R*2. At 100 km, it descends 784m.
The horizon is a key feature of the picture plane in the science of graphical perspective. Assuming the picture plane stands vertical to ground, and P is the perpendicular projection of the eye point O on the picture plane, the horizon is defined as the horizontal line through P. The point P is the vanishing point of lines perpendicular to the picture. If S is another point on the horizon, then it is the vanishing point for all lines parallel to OS. But Brook Taylor (1719) indicated that the horizon plane determined by O and the horizon was like any other plane:
The peculiar geometry of perspective where parallel lines converge in the distance, stimulated the development of projective geometry which posits a point at infinity where parallel lines meet. In her 2007 book Geometry of an Art, Kirsti Andersen described the evolution of perspective drawing and science up to 1800, noting that vanishing points need not be on the horizon. In a chapter titled "Horizon", John Stillwell recounted how projective geometry has led to incidence geometry, the modern abstract study of line intersection. Stillwell also ventured into foundations of mathematics in a section titled "What are the Laws of Algebra ?" The "algebra of points", originally given by Karl von Staudt deriving the axioms of a field was deconstructed in the twentieth century, yielding a wide variety of mathematical possibilities. Stillwell states

All Hallow's Eve
Enjoy the vintage Halloween illustration. I thought this one was particularly striking and unique. Not your typical artwork depicting pumpkins or witches.
Saturday night I am attending my friend's Halloween party.. The decorations were partially up at her home last week. They were impressive. Lots of spider webs and purple mini lights. I hope to get some interesting photos to post.
Until my next post, wishing you all a spooky and fantastic Halloween!!

Bake Sale!
The money raised will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. We raised $1,521.
Friday the first day of the sale was Joanne's birthday. She would have been 61 years old. One of our customers bought a cake and donated it to us for our sale. She wanted the word remembering written on it. When she picked it up the word remembrance was written on it and it was spelled wrong. We decided instead of selling the cake, we would cut the cake and
each take a slice and remember Joanne on her birthday.
Here's the birthday cake in memory of Joanne.
We displayed the jars of sauce and relish in my wire container.
We even had a "decorating room". Any baked goods that needed packaging went straight to the decorating room to be bagged and embelished with ribbons and other decorative elements.

Fall Porch Drivebys
I loved the bench with the pumpkins but then I liked the steps too and the railng so I went for the wider shot.
I liked the seafoam color of this Winchester home. The featherlike thingies in the pots, and the arrangement of the fallen leaves made this one a winner in my book.
Wakefield. No ornamentation on the door but oh those leaves are fabulous!!!
house. You should see the inside. It is as glorious as the outside. I love the purple steps.
Alas, the tour has ended for the day. Don't worry, you're coming back tomorrow. Right?

A visit to Salem
I love to go to Salem. The historic homes are beautiful and I love taking photos of their architecture, some of them are so ornate. Walking down the narrow little side streets, there's always something interesting that catches my eye. During my walk, I passed by the Witch House and it made me think. I really dislike the commercialization of the whole witch trial thing. This was serious history. Let's not trivialize it. I don't like seeing witch references everywhere around the city. Maybe the tourists like it, but I do not.
My favorite shop from my travels was Sophia's. This is a cool shop. The merchandise was gorgeously displayed. All my favorite things too, like soaps, candles, jewelry, hot chocolate, pretty signs, scarfs. Oh my goodness, a visual treat. The shop had tin ceilings and tin on parts of the walls. Fabulous! If I owned my own shop I would want it to look like this.
The owner was so nice. She let me take some photos of the store. To see more of the store

If this cabinet would have fit in my car I would have taken it home. Lots of interesting things

The Artsy Autumn Swap
The rules were easy. We were to send our swap partner items related to the Fall Season. Within the box there should be one handmade item and one vintage item. Everyone mailed their swaps on September 22nd , the first day of Autumn. Oh, and we were supposed to keep the cost to around $20. Yeah, right! Is that possible?
I want to share with you the items I received from Valerie my swap partner. Valerie is from Louisiana .Valerie had the good sense to send several emails asking about my likes and dislikes so I followed her lead and got some good information about her.
Anyway, here's what I got! This is really fun. She typed up her recipe for pumpkin bread and made it pretty. She actually found a brand of tea I had not tried. I am a tea connoisseur after all! She sent packets of spiced cider which is my favorite hot drink in Fall. She must have read my blog. I collect little "spreaders". Is that what they are called? Those little knives used to spread cream cheese or jam on scones or toast. How did she know that? Is she psychic? I swear I never mentioned it to her.
The kitchen towel is perfect and will go well with the colors of my new kitchen at the condo. She also included a box of leaves and berries for punching up the Fall decor in my home.

Impromptu Day Off
I was off from work yesterday. It was sort of unplanned. My boss mentioned that I should start taking my remaining 14 days of vacation since I can't carry them over to next year. So I decided
that Thursday's forecast looked good for leaf peeping and I started to make plans. None of my friends could take a day off on such short notice so I was on my own. I went to Pier One to check out some chairs for my new condo. I don't need them yet so I inquired about layaway. Only 10 days of free storage and I need about 30. I will have to think on that. On to Russell Farms which is just down the street.
The pumpkins were displayed outside Russell Farm in Woburn. It's very picturesque with all the flowers and colorful produce. I took some photos (note the pumpkins above) and moved on.
I headed to the Whiffle Tree Candle Company in Billerica. The property is gorgeous and during peak foliage the colors are spectacular. Yesterday, there was some color but not peak. Before I arrived at the Whiffle Tree, I stopped for lunch at the cutest coffee shop/cafe called the Coffee Emporium. I ordered a half sandwich of chicken salad with cranberries and walnuts and an iced coffee. Did you see the size of that half sandwich? I wondered how many people thought I'd lost my marbles as I photographed my sandwich. Anyway, I brought some magazines, catalogs, and a book with me to read and I had a relaxing lunch. The book was the French-Inspired Home by Kaari Meng. I love that book. I'm getting some good ideas for the condo.
Here's the inside of the coffee shop. Isn't it cute?
And the outside of the Coffee Emporium. I like that word Emporium, don't you? It reminds me of gentler times. Did they have one in the movie, It's a Wonderful Life? Or was that a mercantile? I like that word too.
I finally made it to the Whiffle Tree. I took photos of everything. So much nature to capture through my lens- leaves, rocks, moss, light, water, quaint buildings, covered bridges. I took at least 100 photos. It was too much fun!
My last stop was at Mahoney's Garden Center and Farm Stand in Winchester. I bought some mini pumpkins, white ones and orange too. I also bought some desserts for later. Mahoney's has a very cool shop. They sell Christmas decorations all year round I found some really cute things but I did not buy them. Have to keep to that condo budget!
I have to say sometimes Impromptu Days Off can be quite satisfying. And I have 13 more days to go. Can't wait to schedule the next one! Don't worry, I'll take all of you with me!

J. Walter Thompson & Syzygy agree European eBusiness solutions deal
13 September, 2000
J. Walter Thompson, the global brand communications company, and Syzygy AG, the eBusiness solutions provider, today announced that they are to enter into a preferred partnership across Europe.
The partnership combines Syzygy's eBusiness expertise with Digital@JWT's online marketing and media strategies, user interface and experience development alongside J. Walter Thompson's brand and communications expertise. Under one roof, this will provide comprehensive and integrated cross-media eBusiness solutions to maximise exposure, increase effectiveness and reduce time-to-market.
The deal sees Syzygy become JWT Europe's exclusive partner for pan-European eBusiness solutions for its clients. Exclusivity refers to France, Germany, the UK and Ireland - markets where both companies already have a presence and where cross-functional teams are already being established.
In addition, JWT will support Syzygy in its expansion across Europe through shared offices. Both companies will share a strategic, developmental and execution methodology on client projects that will provide a fully integrated and consistent level of service across the region.
The deal also sees the establishment of shared Usability R&D, which will build on existing expertise in both companies to investigate and establish user experience best practice, for new and developing channels. Initially centred in London, both companies will roll out this common R&D offer across Europe soon after.
The alliance formalises and extends an existing relationship developed over the past three years, which has seen the two firms collaborate on pan-European eBusiness and marketing projects for Mazda, Siemens and others.
According to Syzygy CEO Chris Robson, 'This best of breed partnership will enable client companies to deliver multi-channel, customer-centric eBusiness solutions across Europe.'
'The market is ready for this offer. Business now sees Europe as an increasingly integrated and dynamic market, and many leading blue-chips and new economy players are actively devising and implementing pan-European eBusiness solutions to break into new markets or gain competitive advantage,' he added.
David King, MD of Digital@JWT Europe, Middle East and Africa says, 'The operational partnership being created with Syzygy will, we believe, effectively end the all too frequent disconnect clients suffer between brand, online experience and business results. Our aim is to help our clients deliver on the promise of digital media for the long term.'
Michael Maedel, CEO of JWT Europe and Syzygy AG Chairman, believes the relationship will put both companies at the forefront of future development in the industry. 'As the digital marketplace matures it forces any number of changes on the world of traditional advertising. This combination of strengths will ensure a leadership position for us going forward. It brings a new and much needed change in perspective to the way we satisfy our clients needs.'

This week's radio show had a nice gentle flow to it. Kora & cello, vintage Arthur Russell, vintage Sory Kandia Kouyaté, new bass events, extra nutrition. Now streaming:
Month: August 2012
[screenshot from Sufi Plug Ins' clapping drum machine, PALMAS]
This Thursday evening, Bill Bowen & I will present SUFI PLUG INs at Public Enemy producer Hank Shocklee's Advanced Ableton Users meetup in Manhattan. Free with RSVP, live streaming. 7:30-10pm.
& on Friday Lamin Fofana and I are heading up to perform at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art, where will be joined by DJ Rizzla for a night of 'DJs on the Harbor', throwing down at their lovely waterfront space. Come through!
Like music? I don't. Well, I don't like music all the time. Sometimes I prefer the other thing.
Last week's radio show opens with about 20 minutes of the other thing. Check it out:
And then this week's radio show begins with about ten minutes of Flamenco-Sufi music. Which exists. Which is intense:
Dear Canada, this Sunday's free lakeside event in Toronto looks to be truly epic. All sorts of multimedia installations & interventions, a pool & lake to dip in, and music provided by friends Venus X, Maga Bo, Poirier, Dos Mundos, and myself. See you there! FIRE ON THE WATER.
Here's a thoughtful interview with organizers Christie & Marcus, and a chat I had with Toronto's Now magazine.
NPR (again!) – RUPTURE STUDIO 360 PROFILE & REMIX CONTEST
[Photo by Josh Rogosin]
Over the weekend, NPR (national public radio here in the US) aired a profile of me on their Studio 360 arts & culture show. Very exciting to get beamed into the ears of a million or so Americans… Host Kurt Andersen came out to my studio for a few hours of talk & filming. You can listen to the audio below or download from their site. There's also a nice writeup includes a video of me showing Kurt the DJ basics.
To accompany the radio piece, we are staging a "DJ /rupture Remix Challenge." They explain:
We want you to take the stems to "L'Avion," by Nettle (DJ /rupture's band project), and create your own remix — he'll choose the winning remix and we'll play it on the show.
The deadline to be considered for our contest is Sunday, September 2, 2012 at 11:59 EDT.
You can stream the song below and download a ZIP of the stems. Hint: the tempo is 86bpm and the time signature is 6/8 (kinda). I'm really looking forward to hearing how people reinterpret this material. The separated audio stems include voice, banjo, cello, percussion, electronics. Have fun with it! – risks will be rewarded. Or to put it more bluntly: THIS IS A GOOD CHANCE TO GET YOUR WEIRD MUSICAL IDEAS ONTO NATIONAL RADIO, FRIEND.
Here's a video of an early version the song, "L'Avion," which we wrote + first performed in Tangiers Morocco.
And last but not least — walking Kurt Andersen through the basics of DJing with a little help from Kelly Rowland:
Last night I hit the decks to put together 22 minutes of summer, blended and intensified for your listening pleasure.

This mix was put together in anticipation of a Dutty Artz event of the same name. Here's my original post about that, a combination birthday party (let's roar, fellow leos!), fundraiser, and dutty wine dance up.
CHANGE THE MOOD! August 17th @ Glasslands, Bklyn
This Friday I'm throwing a birthday party slash mayhem management course slash fundraiser with the DUTTY ARTZ crew at Glasslands in Brooklyn. You are strongly encouraged to come. Flyer & info:
Dutty Artz presents CHANGE THE MOOD! a fundraiser party for Beyond The Block.
Fri. August 17th at Glasslands, 289 Kent Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. 11pm. $10Hosted by Pupa Bajah and Jasmin Cruz
NYC debut of Chants (live from Madison, WI)DJ Ushka vs. a Rhino
Chief Boima vs. a Robot
DJ Rupture vs. an Elephant
Taliesin vs. a Vampire
Geko Jones vs. a Chicken-Stealing Fox
Atropolis vs. the Eurovisuals by Rainstick | Rupture's birthday | silent auction fundraiser
CHANGE THE MOOD! will feature performances by Dutty Artz affiliated visual artists, musicians, DJs, and MCs. A portion of proceeds & silent auction will support the Beyond the Block Sunset Park initiative. The party combines Dutty Artz's ground-up artistic vision with a desire to connect music fans to the struggles faced by local communities of immigrants, artists, workers, and young people that often help inspire contemporary global fashion trends.
CHANGE THE MOOD! performers include Chants from Madison, WI, making his NYC debut on the strength of his 'Night After' EP ("Chants makes very beautiful sounds that make you feel like you're swimming in an underwater world of loveliness" – Dummy Mag), recent WIRE mag coverboy DJ /rupture, Que Bajo's Geko Jones, Rick Ross protégé Chief Boima, and more.
BEYOND THE BLOCK. Can a hype block party double as an opportunity to spread information about stop & frisk, immigrant rights, police surveillance, and housing? We say yes. As the championing of diversity, a global outlook, and a celebration of the local become increasingly common in today's dance music scenes, we see an ideal opportunity to use the energy & open-ended vibe of a great party to connect musical ideas to their real-world analogs: to create a space where we can talk about – and dance to – an incredible musical selection while sharing useful information for our communities that are impacted by issues pertaining to undocumented workers' rights, transnational identity, health care, police violence, housing and more. Happening on September 22nd, the inaugural Sunset Park edition of Beyond The Block is a collaboration between Beyond Digital, Dutty Artz, The Arab American Association of New York, La Unión, and individual artists and Brooklyn-based community members.
Yesterday NPR's flagship news program, All Things Considered, aired a piece on my Sufi Plug Ins project! One minute it's drivel from Mitt Romney's camp, the next my crew is talking about weird synthesizers and love song maqams.
Here's the audio & accompanying article: Sufi Plug Ins on All Things Considered.
People keep asking me if I plan to sell SPIs. The answer is no. They're free, always will be, and we're gonna build more – VST versions are the next priority. In order to make the Sufi Plug Ins exactly as they needed to be, the whole thing was self-funded (I can always eat less) & the entire team – Bill & I here in New York, Rosten in LA, and Maggie & Juan in Madrid – volunteered their formidable skills.
If you'd like to support, there is a donation page, there are nice t-shirts, and artist prints in an edition of 6. VST wizards wanted, too. Get in touch with any questions.
If this is a bit confusing, check the demonstration video or read my original post.

Hawk® Performance Front Quiet Slot Rotors & HPS Brake Pad Kit for 99-06 Jeep® Cherokee XJ, Wrangler TJ & Unlimited
Hawk's Performance HPS compound provides advanced braking characteristics to enhance your driving experience with increased stopping power. This unique compound combines the safety and quality of Aerospace design partnered with the braking technology of motorsports. Hawk HPS Pads deliver high friction and torque with low rotor wear. Hawk Pads are long wearing with low dust and virtually noise free. One set does one axle.
Metallurgy: Quiet Slot™ rotors are cast from a proprietary formulation of premium alloys producing a superior performance street product.
- Noise-dampening steel formulation.
- Long-grain carbon iron for maximum thermal stability.
- Molybdenum additive for high temperature strength and thermal crack resistance.
- Unique alloy blend provides exceptional rotor life and durability.
Design: Quiet Slot™ rotors combine the look, feel and durability of a true performance rotor with the fitment and convenience of OE design.
- Performance design - Direct OE replacement.
- Unidirectional vanes eliminate the need for left and right side rotors.
- Optimal rotor vane and wall thickness improves structural strength, noise dampening and heat capacity.
Note: Heat cracking and rotor warpage are inherent risks with cross-drilled rotors.
- OE style vane design combined with increased heat capacity dramatically improves brake pad and rotor life.
Quiet Slots: Hawk Performance® Quiet Slot™ rotors feature a unique slot design specifically engineered to improve your car's braking performance and driver comfort.
- Increases initial bite.
- Improves wet weather brake performance.
- Effectively removes gas and wear debris.
Note: Cross-drilled & dimpled and heavily slotted rotors accelerate pad wear generating excessive brake dust and premature pad wear.
- When the brakes are not engaged, the Quiet Slot™ rotor vane and surface slot design effectively cuts through the surrounding air flow virtually eliminating the "whirling" noise typically encountered with cross drilled or heavily slotted rotors.
- Visual wear indicator. Rotors should be replaced when slots are worn down and no longer visible.
- Optimizes overall brake performance. Note: Cross-drilled, heavily slotted and dimpled rotors reduce the contact area of the rotor with the brake pad. This environment reduces the effectiveness of the brake pad, can cause damage to the desired transfer film and increase rotor surface temperatures.
Surface Finish:
- Swirl ground surface for improved brake pad bed-in and "green" out of the box performance.
- Specific RMS finish accelerates the creation of a proper transfer film when run with Hawk Performance® brand brake pads.
- All rotors are finished with a GEOMET® coating that protects both the internal and external surfaces from rust and corrosion.
What is GEOMET®?
GEOMET® is a proprietary water-based coating dispersion containing metal oxides, metallic zinc and aluminum flakes. The zinc and aluminum platelets align in multiple layers forming a metallic silver-gray coating. Applied as a liquid, the coating becomes totally inorganic after curing at 575-600F (300-315C).
WARNING! This rotor is intended for street use only!
- HPS - High Performance StreetSuperior Stopping PowerHPS - High Performance Street disc brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street legal vehicle. Increasing the performance of your vehicles braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performances HPS braking compound. This unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports severe-duty friction technology.The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means youll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust..HPS Ferro-Compound Features:
- Increased stopping power
- High friction/torque hot or cold
- Gentle on rotors
- Extended pad life
- Low dust
- Virtually noise-free
All Hawk Performance High Performance Street brake pads provide a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring products to be free of defects from manufacturers workmanship and materials.Note:Hawk Performance burnishes its High Performance Street brake pads as a final step in the factory, but all brake pads have to be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used against. Properly bedding-in new brake pads results in a transfer film being generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.
Brake Pad Installation Procedure1. Install brake pads properly. Be sure pads are securely positioned in the caliper.
2. Flush system with fresh brake fluid.
3. Check all hydraulic parts for excess wear and tear.
4. Check disc for proper thickness, parallelism, and lateral runout.
5. Check disc for scoring or grooves over .012depth. If either applies, resurfacing is required.
6. If discs do not need resurfacing, then contamination from the previous brake pads must be removed. Sand discs with 130 grit sandpaper using moderate pressure. Use soap and water to clean discs surface after sanding and machining. Discs should be free and clear of oil, grease, and brake fluid.
7. Inspect calipers for freedom of movement. Lubricate where necessary.Burnishing Instructions1. After installing new brake pads, make 6 to 10 stops from approximately 30-35 mph applying moderate pressure.
2. Make an additional 2 to 3 hard stops from approximately 40 to 45 mph.
4. Allow 15 minutes for brake system to cool down.
5. After step 4 your new pads are ready for use.

16 years of JUICE: A sit down with the founders of the JSF crew
FACT: JSF is the only active crew to still be around since Battle My Crew (a pivotal VG production).
As an outsider, I viewed JSF as a wild crew of insane stunt skaters who took the over-the-top Hyphy attitude from the local hip-hop scene and turned that energy onto blading. In almost all situations, that's entirely true.
The membership has grown over the years, but the core of JSF has gone unchanged during the 16 years the Northern California rollerblading crew has existed. They are as loud, boisterous, and enigmatic as ever, and despite a leadership that is now settled into their 30s with wives and kids, JSF is still a proud, undeniable force in rollerblading at a time where crew skating is now re-emerging.

What is the next trend in data center energy efficiency? I may be biased because I am more of an ICT guy than a facility guy, when I talk about data centers. Based on my unscientific data, 70%–80% of people who attend a data center conference are facility folks; IT folks are a minority. When I look back, data center energy efficiency has been discussed primarily from the viewpoint of the facility—the mechanical and electrical equipment and how it is operated.
In the opening speech of the 5th SVLG Data Center Energy Summit, Anne Smart, Director of Energy, Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG), gave a good introduction to this topic as well as to Andrew Feldman, Corporate VP and General Manager, AMD, who delivered the keynote speech. You can watch their speeches here (a little over 16 minutes).
Andrew was CEO of SeaMicro, which developed and marketed low-power servers and was acquired by AMD earlier this year. Because the video is less than 20 minutes, you may want to invest your time in watching it yourself. But his point was simple. There is an area where we made significant progress in energy efficiency for data centers, but there is another area where we did not make much progress. The former is the facility side and the latter is the IT side. A lot has been done about energy efficiency in the facility area, such as finding better ways of cooling (hot/cold aisle and air economizer), which Andrew called low-hanging fruit. Now cooling efficiency has improved to three one-hundredths of the power required to run a server.
Now about IT. Let me inject my thoughts here before going on with Andrew's speech. Before he started discussing the energy efficiency of IT in the data center, I knew I was going to agree with him. We have been trying to alleviate the symptom of data center energy problems by attempting to control cooling and power rather than curing the root cause of the data center energy crisis, that is, efficient ICT equipment and making better use of it, that is, running it without utilizing its full capacity. Emerson in its energy logic claims that IT is the root cause of the large consumption of power in data centers and we had better control IT. We are beginning to pay more attention to IT as we try to control data center power usage. We need to pay more attention to using more energy efficient equipment, such as SeaMicro's, and using virtualization to increase the utilization of each server. We need more than PUE to gauge and measure IT efficiency. There have been a few data center metrics proposed, such as McKinsey's CADE. The Japanese have proposed DPPE. Both metrics take IT's behaviors into consideration. I recently found an interesting metric for IT energy efficiency called Par 4. I have not reviewed it yet, but the short description I read sounds interesting. I plan to write a separate blog on it.
Andrew started to talk about IT (servers) in terms of data center energy efficiency. He dealt with server energy efficiency at SeaMicro with low-power chips before he came to AMD. And he is one of the most qualified persons to discuss the subject. He bluntly stated that he was disappointed at the progress we have made in that department, because a server is the most powerful consumer of power in a data center and needs more attention.
He mentioned that like anything else energy efficiency improvement for servers began with the low-hanging fruit. In this case, it was the power supply. The power supply used to lose 18% in transit from PDU to server. Now with advances in power supply technology, it is down to 7%. But the real meat in energy efficiency is the server itself. At SeaMicro, Andrew and his team developed a server that requires only a quarter of the power necessary for other servers. But it took five years and $50M, which was not readily available from the VC community in the funding climate then. He is thankful to the Department of Energy and the State of California for their grants that made it possible for SeaMicro to complete their servers.
He wrapped up his talk by saying that we should not stop innovating in energy efficiency in both facility and server technologies. Power is such a big problem in the data center that we need to keep working on it.

The fourth annual SVLG Data Center Energy Efficiency Conference was held Nov. 18 at IBM Almaden Research Labs in San Jose, CA.
SVLG stands for Silicon Valley Leadership Group, whose vision (from its website) is to:
Ensure the economic health and a high quality of life in Silicon Valley for our entire community by advocating for adequate affordable housing, comprehensive regional transportation, reliable energy, a quality K-12 and higher education system and prepared workforce, a sustainable environment, and business and tax policies that keep California and Silicon Valley competitive.
SVLG has been offering data center energy efficiency (DCEE) conferences for the past three years. It is situated in southern San Jose and surrounded by a large, natural open space.
Like the previous conferences, this one was sold out, and a lot of people showed up.
Crowds at SVLG DCEE conference. There are more rows behind this.
The agenda for the program was as follows:
I will report on the entire conference, and some sessions in detail, in upcoming blogs.
Carl Guardino, CEO of SVLG, gave the opening remarks. Although he covered a few topics, I only remember one thing (sorry, Carl!!).

The next big thing for SVLG is the third annual conference on data centers. AltaTerra was involved in the second conference in several capacities, such as chairing a panel session on carbon and data centers, participating in program preparation, and editing case study reports. This year, AltaTerra is contributing as a programming committee and will prepare a summary report on the conference.
Here's the brochure for the 2010 Data Center Efficiency Summit.

In "Open Sourcing Data Center Design," Rich Miller of Data Center Knowledge today wrote about a new effort to transform data centers. When I first saw the headline, I thought his article was about applying open source software to data centers. I worked with MySQL and JBoss in my previous life and got very interested in this.
But when I read on, I realized that the idea is not the use of open source but the use of the philosophy of open source, which is open and freely sharable. Let's refer to Miller's posting:
The Open Source Data Center Initiative aims to "provide a platform for stable, secure, efficient and sustainable state-of-the-art operations that can be replicated world-wide, accomplished through public/private investment."
The people and organizations behind it:
[Mike] Manos is working with Dave Ohara of Green M3, Enginuity Worldwide LLC and the University of Missouri.
Manos is quoted as saying:
"This Open Source Data Center Initiative is focused around execution. It's focused around putting together an open and free engineering framework upon which data center designs, technologies, and the like can be quickly put together and standardize the [way] both end-users and engineering firms approach the data center industry.
"If you think of the Linux movement, and all of those who actively participate in submitting enhancements, features, even pulling together specific build packages for distribution, one could even see such things emerging in the data center engineering realm."
What is the difference between the Open Source Data Center Initiative and existing industry groups like SVLG, Data Center Pulse, 7x27, Critical Facilities Round Table, and The Green Grid?
Manos is quoted as saying it's this:
"These groups have been out espousing best practices for years. They have been pushing for change (for the most part). They do a great job of highlighting the challenges we face, but for the most part have waited around for universal good will and monetary pressures to make them happen."
I wonder what other organizations have to say about it. I know Mike Manos was a member of Data Center Pulse. I will moderate a data center energy efficiency panel in an event put together by BrightTalk. One of the themes of the panel will be collaboration. I wonder whether the Open Source Data Center Initiative can collaborate with other existing organizations.

The New York Times (NYT) recently reported that:
Google Inc won approval from U.S. energy regulators to act as a power marketer, which will make it easier for the Internet search giant to obtain renewable energy to run its huge data centers.
This news was reported by several other media sources, including:
But my attention is on the last two paragraphs in the NYT article:
Information technology and telecommunications facilities, such as those that Google owns, account for approximately 120 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually—or 3 percent of all U.S. electricity use, according to the Energy Department.
Rapid growth in the U.S. data center industry is projected to require two new large power plants per year just to keep pace with the expected demand growth, the department says.
As I reported back in 2008, according to the report published by EPA for the U.S. Congress in 2007, data center power consumption doubled from 2000 to 2006. In 2006, data center power consumption was roughly 1.5% of the whole nation's. Without any remedy, this figure will double again by 2011, requiring multiple power plants to accommodate the increase.
The EPA report considered five scenarios, two of which aggressively apply state-of-the-art technologies and operating methods to curb such an increase.
There has been no update on this report since 2007, and it is hard to tell whether the trend has been curbed. The 3% figure cited in the NYT article is often obtained by doubling 1.5%. As a very rough estimate, it may be true, but groups like SVLG and its members have a lot of efforts under way to curb the increase. We need an update of the EPA report now to assess where we are in terms of data center power consumption.

He is adorable
He is dependable
He is my friend and companion
He will never let me down
He is always there for as long as I recognize him
He is my coach and my mentor
He loves me
Oh That's the Holy Spirit and you can build a relationship with him, if you give him the chance. Here is what he will do for you.
The Holy Spirit has a beautiful Identity. He is called the" ANGEL OF GOD'S PRESENCE". He is the one that brings us the presence of God and makes it real to us – Isaiah 63:9,10a
When we pray, it is the Holy Spirit that makes the divine presence real to our Spirits, and we are spiritually overwhelmed by His Glory.
David understood the Important of that presence in has life – Psalm 51:11b
Moses also recognized the Important of the divine presence – Exodus 33:15
God's presence brings joy to the heart of a believer – Psalm 16:11, Romans 14:17. Joy is the fruit of the human spirit and it is Independent of circumstances.
The Holy Spirit unveils God's word to us; He reveals the things of God to us – because the things of God can only be spiritually understood. – I Corinthians 2:14
He will teach you and unveil the things of God to your spirit – John 14:26
God's word is truth, it is the reality and it is the Holy Spirit that guides you into that reality. He is the Spirit of truth – John 16:13.
You can know the things that are given to you of God. You can know these because His Spirit will teach you and you can take advantage of them – I Corinthian 2:9 -13.
Righteousness is the nature of God which when impacted into the human spirit produces the rightness of God in human spirit. It gives man right standing with God, and the ability to stand in the presence of God without a sense of guilt, inferiority or condemnation. It means rightness with God.
When the Holy Spirit come into your life, He will give you the ability to do things right, to change things, to make things work.
According to Act 1:8 … 'ye shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you' that dynamic ability to cause change, that means you can never be disadvantaged or be helpless. If you want you can effect change in your family, in your job, in your children, in your husband / wife, in your life, your school, your country, in anything or anywhere.
When you are born again the Holy Spirit comes to give you rest. There is a lot of war going on in us sometimes, we are troubled on one thing or the other, there may be so many troubles, so much war in and around you, but He will give you rest in your soul – Mathew 11:28 – 29
He will give you peace, not as the world gives, but pieces in the midst of turmoil – John 14:27
When the Holy Spirit dwells in you in His fullness, He will give you peace and rest, and you will no longer be afraid or troubled – Isaiah 32:17, 18
The righteousness of God on your life produces peace, greatness and assurance in you. People will wonder at you because they will not be able to fathom how you can have so much peace and rest when everything seems to have gone wrong.
He will restore you, renew and refresh you. You will never run out of power, you will never run out of ability.
David had the revelation of the Holy Spirit and he describes it in Psalm 23:1-4. He guides you and pilots your life. He leads you to the green pastures and makes you to lie there. That means He brings you to a place of plenty and causes you to abide there. And in that place of plenty, you will have peace, because he also said,' He leadeth me besides still waters. 'V3 says 'He restoreth my soul'. Yes, He will restore you and He will renew you.
In 2 Corinthians 4:16 says 'But though our outward man perisheth yet the inward man is renew day by day'. Yes you can be renewed every day by the word of God and the working of the Holy Ghost
Psalm 103:5 says 'He will renew you as the eagles'. The Holy Ghost will renew your youth, your strength and vitality, like the eagle renews itself.
Act 3:19b…'times of refreshing shall co from the presence of the Lord'. In God's presence there is no room for spiritual drowsiness, no room to be cast down because the Holy Spirit stirs up the joy of God in our heart.
Isaiah 32:15,16 – Let us know that we become productive when the Spirit of God comes upon our lives. The anointing of God's Spirit makes us productive. It makes us fruitful.
If you have received the Holy Spirit of God, then the Spirit has been poured upon you from on high. When the Spirit has been poured upon you from on high we don't need to struggle to make the wilderness become anything, it just becomes.
Isaiah 32:13, 14 reveals that when the Holy Spirit comes to live inside you. He will turn your wilderness into fruitful field; water will spring up from your desert. You will experience productivity and growth in every area of your life. You will move forward, there will be a bursting forth on your right hand and on your left.
Isaiah 44:2-4 – God wants to help you to lead a better life. Water in v3 refers to the Holy Spirit…'upon thy seed, my blessing upon their offspring' does not only refer to your children. Your seed is anything that proceeds from you, your thoughts, your Ideas, your job, your money, all are your seed, for they represent you. And when God pour His Spirit upon your seed you become more productive than ever before.
Daniel 6:3 – The bible describes Daniel having Excellence Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Excellence when he comes into your life. There will be excellence in your mentality, there will be excellence in your work, the way you do your things will be excellent, and there will be excellence in your health. He will perfect your health.
Psalm 1:3 describes what happen when you have Holy Spirit in your life. You will be like a tree that is planted by the rivers of water. You will bring forth fruit in season that means every time you are supposed to bring forth fruit it will not fail. In other words there will never be a time when you are unable to receive a harvest. ..'Whatever he doeth shall prosper' anything you put your hand upon to do will turn into success why? Because the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Excellence is in your life.
If you don't know him, take the time to do so now and watch your life become transformed.

Corona del Mar man puts up fight for pet chickens
Michael Resk of Corona Del Mar has run afoul of Newport Beach code enforcement – literally. Seems the six chickens in his backyard aren't welcomed by at least one neighbor, who called the city complaining.
Animal control paid him a visit, and though he hasn't received a formal citation, he's been told he has two weeks to get rid of his pets.
City codes only allow chickens in Residential Equestrian Districts like East Santa Ana Heights in the Back Bay, not in Corona Del Mar.
The idea to have chickens as pets came to Resk as he was sitting on the porch of his Goldenrod Avenue home, looking at his backyard about 16 months ago.
"I thought they'd be fun to have and interesting in the yard," he said.
Resk also has a cat and all seem to co-exist nicely.
He had no idea city codes prohibited it.
The city code states, "No person shall keep or maintain in a cage or aviary out-of-doors within any residential district in the City any wild fowl or game bird without first obtaining a Newport Beach Wild Animal Permit."
Resk says until now, the reaction to the chickens has been positive. His neighbors bring their kids and grandkids over to see and feed them. The complaint caught him off guard.
"It was about the noise," he said, "but crows and dogs in the neighborhood make more noise than the chickens do."
The chickens have become somewhat of celebrities around town, and Resk says they're great pets with some unique and positive benefits.
Once plagued by fleas, snails and spiders in his yard, Resk says he hasn't seen any of these nasty little creatures since the chickens showed up. Seems chickens are nature's little pest controllers.
So do chickens make good pets?
I asked Donita Culberson, manager of the Feedbarn on Newport Boulevard, who sells chickens.
"They make excellent pets, especially if you get them as babies," she said. "My 7-year-old has one we got as a chick and it follows him everywhere – he even drives it around in his tricycle."
Culbertson says chickens live a long time; one of her customer has a chicken that's 22 years old. She said chickens are easier to take care of than dogs, and you don't have to walk them.
But it's the reaction of the kids in the neighborhood that really makes Resk want to keep his pets.
He says the children who come by light up, when coming by to feed the chickens.
Resk would like to get a permit or city variance to make his pets legal, but realizes it's a long shot.
Nevertheless, he's started a campaign to save the chickens. Though he says he doesn't think Occupy CDM is necessary, Facebook might be the answer. The chickens now have their own FB page with their cute little faces plastered all over it.
He's hoping people will "like" the page and write or call Newport Beach City Council members on the chickens' behalf.
As someone who lives in a Residential Equestrian District, I'm familiar with chickens.
It's not unusual to be driving down my street and see one jut out from nowhere or to see a few prancing down the block without a care in the world.
My neighbor has chickens, and I don't mind them a bit. In fact, they give the area character. Though it was a bit disconcerting when one ran through my house one day when I left the front door open.
Resk tells me since he's been a chicken owner; he's sworn off eating chicken. If he has to get rid of his pets, he'd hate to see them destroyed or wind up on someone's plate.

Cable Guy 2If you love Jim Carrey's movie: The Cable Guy. Sign this petition for a sequel to this movie!
True. But if they make a sequel movie where it left off, no one is able to replace Jim. There's still a 50% chance of Jim doing Cable Guy 2, since he made Ace Ventura 2.
cotton makes a good point.... remember Jim doesn't like doing sequels..... which is the reason that the ONLY sequel he has made was one he had to do.
If Jim would do Cable Guy 2, the movie would be AWESOME!!! But if Jim wouldn't do Cable Guy 2, it would flop (just like The Mask 2 and Dumb and Dumberer), it would only be good if Jim was in it.

Jim Carrey IS AWESOME!!!
actually, I think Cable Guy 2 could be a great movie, ONLY if Jim was in it though.
Jim Carrey IS AWESOME!!!
Nope.................the ending was poignant........if we return in a sequel it will lose all sensitivity.........There will be nothing to keep us thinking because we'll know the ultimate outcome of 1..........
But i did love the film................especially the karaoke scene.......psychedelic maaaaaan!!!..........'it's the summer of love'..... fluffs
If there's no story, there's no need for a sequal.
Jim needs to focus on fresh, new ideas from fresh, new writers. Like me, par example. Hey Jim! If you want something new, fresh and exciting, give me a call! Otherwise, I'm sending them all to our boy Willy. (as in Ferrell, not Wonka)
Glad you cleared that up! I thought you meant Wonka, lol! Cable Guy 2 would be uber pants! Sequels are dull. Originals are good! Muse - 10, 11, 14, 22 & 23 November 2006
