When talking about 3D-capable mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets, and even if we include ultraportable laptops as well there are actually still not many products on the market. The problem is that people kind of expect to get glasses free 3D display on those devices and that is still a bit of a problem to achieve in both technological way if you want to provide a really good experience as well as to make them affordable, resulting in an end user price not much higher than what the same device with a 2D-capable display would cost. And while autostereoscopic 3D technology still has some way to go it is already starting to get quite good and affordable for smaller size displays such as the ones found on mobile devices, so this year we finally may see more products and increased interest in smartphones and tablets with not only 3D-capabilities, but also with glasses free displays. Meanwhile however the most popular way to get 3D support on your smartphone or a tablet is to get a piece of 3D film that will make your 2D display capable of showing 3D images without you having to wear any kind of 3D glasses. With mobile devices getting higher and higher resolution displays with more pixels per inch their screens it is not much of a problem to have the resolution halved when displaying stereoscopic 3D images on them. There are already a lot of such products available on the market, most of which are targeted for iPhone and iPad users, but some also cover other mobile devices as well. There however are some drawbacks with most of these 3D film solutions, relying on either parallax barrier or lenticular principle of work. Things like reducing the brightness, being hard to apply, bringing uncomfortable feeling when used or too thick to properly relay touch controls, problems with useability in 2D mode, working in only one orientations and others are some of the factors that are contributing to the not so fast adoptions even though the potential market is really huge.
There is a new company on the horizon called Nanoveu that promises to soon deliver a product based on nano technology that is supposed to change the generally not so good impression about 3D film-based products intended to make your mobile device with 2D display into a 3D-capable one. What Nanoveu promises is a solution that addresses all of the issues that most other similar products currently have and thus providing a really enjoyable experience when viewing 3D content such as photos, movies or even games. Nanoveu's 3D film is supposed to be very thin (0.1mm) and flexible and be able to also act as a screen protector for the device it is applied on, be very lightweight and low cost to make and with a more affordable end-user price, easy to be applied and to be removed, and not needing power source to function. Furthermore you apply the Nanoveu 3D film you should be able to use your device for viewing 3D content in both Portrait and Landscape orientation, and you should be able to use your device in 2D mode without having to remove the 3D filter. These two things are among the most annoying limitations that pretty much all other solutions on the market have and normally users don't like to have a lot of limitations, they just want to be able to use their mobile device in 3D mode as easy as it works in 2D mode. Furthermore we get a promise for no visual brightness loss with the filter applied, smoother feeling and no problems whatsoever when using the touch functionality of the display. So far it all sounds really promising and Nanoveu expects to be able to start shipping their NanoFlez 3D film on 2nd of April with pre-orders for it currently going on the company's website.
One more important thing regarding the NanoFlez 3D film from Nanoveu that you should be well aware of, the autostereoscopic 3D functionality that the product will be introducing would also require a special software that will have the image displayed in as special format that the 3D film will be able to show in 3D. This means that in order to see a 3D photo or watch a 3D movie you'd need to download this software and play the 3D content over it, currently there is not much information about the software available and I could not find anything published on the AppStore, though there is time and it will probably be released closer to the time when the products start shipping. Nanoveu also mentions the ability to play games in stereo 3D using their 3D film, this would either mean a software able to convert normal games into stereo 3D ones (not likely) or the more likely solution would be to have the game developers start to add stereo 3D output support for the NanoFlez 3D film. Either way you should think about 3D photo and 3D movies for now with stereoscopic 3D gaming as something that you might get at some point as well. The fact that the 3D film is going to be made available not only for iOS devices, but also for Android based ones as well as Max OSX would mean that there should be versions of the supporting software made available for the various platforms as well and in reality this can slow down the release of the Android and OSX products more than the time that is needed for the development and production of the actual products. In the end it is also very important what the end-users will think about the product and if they will like it or not, Nanoveu has already generated a lot of interest before delivering the actual product, so let us see what will happen when it starts shipping. The company has been demonstrating their product on this year's CES and Neil Schneider from MTBS has managed to get a short interview with the company's Founder and CEO Alfred Chong there, you can watch the video interview embedded above.
Initially Nanoveu is going to be offering the NanoFlez 3D film for iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5 owners only, and if you pre-order it before March 15th you can get free shipping. The price of the NanoFlez 3D film for iPhone 5 or iPod Touch 5 is $29.95 USD and is sounds very reasonable if the product is able to really deliver what the company promises. Nanoveu also has plans for offering their 3D film for other devices such as the iPad 3/iPad 4, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, HTC DNA/Butterfly as well as even for the Macbook Pro with Retina Display systems as well as others. As I'm still a user of an iPhone 4S I'm currently more interested in the upcoming iPad version of the product, but if Nanoveu's 3D film really delivers what they are promising I could as well finally find a reason to upgrade to an iPhone 5. Nevertheless I'll keep an eye on how things are progressing with Nanoveu as they have developed a very promising technology with a lot of potential that can really drive the adoption of 3D solutions among mobile device users.
– You should take a look at Nanoveu's website for additional information…

The Escapists Complete Pack Steam CD Key
Includes 5 items: base game, Fhurst Peak Correctional Facility DLC, Alcatraz DLC, Escape Team DLC and Duct Tapes are Forever DLC.
The Escapists provides the opportunity of experiencing a light-hearted insight into everyday prison life and, as is the case with all inmates, the main objective is escape! While under the careful watch of the guards, players will need to go about their daily duties clandestinely secreting useful objects from under their captors' noses. Potential escapees will learn how to craft seemingly innocuous items into useful tools and even weapons as well as using them to execute cunning diversionary tactics.
Players will need to learn when to keep in line, utilising their time sensibly as they develop their own personal plans of escape. Learning the prison's daily routines and spotting opportunities are all part of life behind bars. Working out potential routes and even misdirecting guards soon become second nature.
Whilst remembering to attend roll-call, holding down their job and keeping their fellow inmates on side, players are can also benefit from advancing their character's statistics through various means including boosting their intellect and exercising regularly. Balance mundane routine with careful planning to attain your ultimate goal - escape and freedom!

Members of the 1% who aren't yet in the 0.1% (you know, those who don't own their own jet), can console themselves with a $100,000-plus-a-day vacation on board a borrowed plane.
Luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent recently partnered with private jet firm Flexjet to unveil a two-week private jet vacation that starts at $1.5 million. That's $750,000 for the jet and at least $750,000 for the hotels and tours -- making it one of the most expensive trips in the world. The company says they are talking to travelers now who want to book for 2015.
The Passport to the World trip takes the well-heeled around the world: from Osaka to Kyoto; Beijing; Hong Kong; Agra, India; Istanbul; and Paris. While travelers could certainly visit these spots on their own for a lot less than $1.5 million, Abercrombie & Kent's contention is that it offers one-of-a-kind experiences that you might not get taking the trip on your own. In Kyoto, Toji's Five Storied Pagoda will be opened exclusively for you; in Beijing, you'll get to view two halls in the Forbidden City that are normally closed to the public; in Hong Kong, you'll take a private ride in the Peak Tram; and in Istanbul, you'll get a private tour of the Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace. If that's not to your liking, you can customize the trip with different cities, hotels and more, says Stephanie Papaioannou, the vice president of private travel for Abercrombie & Kent.
Perhaps this trip's biggest selling point is that only a very limited number of vacationers of your own choosing can be on the jet with you: eight. So while you can, for example, go to the South Pacific with TCS Expeditions on a private jet for $70,000 or around the world with Abercrombie & Kent for around $100,000, on those trips you're on a private jet with up to about 50 people. On the Passport to the World eight-guest-max trip, you'll fly on a Challenger 605 Bombardier jet, complete with meals served on Pickard china, linens with a 450-thread-count and blankets made of cashmere, as well as your own captain, co-pilot and flight attendant.
The accommodations aren't too shabby either -- the Ritz-Carlton in Osaka, The Peninsula in Beijing, the Ciragan Palace Hotel Kempinski in Istanbul, among them. "No one else puts together a trip quite like this," says Frontiers International Travel president Mollie Fitzgerald. Currently, if someone wants a private jet trip like that, they will most likely need to work with their travel agent to design one.
To be sure, this isn't exactly a new concept, as the rich have been working with travel agents to put together this kind of trip for years (Abercrombie & Kent simply offers a prepackaged, though customizable, version of it). Plus, "a lot of travelers who can afford this kind of trip already have their own jet," says Fitzgerald. The other downside, of course, is the seven-figure price tag, which is, well, staggering. The trip starts at $1.5 million and can cost significantly more depending on the length of time, number of travelers, destinations and access you want.
So is this the world's most expensive trip? Certainly, custom trips organized with your travel agent can add up to more, but this is one of the priciest mass-marketed trips in existence. In 2012, London-based travel company VeryFirstTo.com launched a $1.5 million trip (for two people), but that trip took place over two years and sent visitors to 962 Unesco World Heritage sites; at the time, many headlines claimed it was the most expensive trip on earth. This Abercrombie & Kent trip, on the other hand, starts at $1.5 million (though it accommodates eight people) and takes place over just two weeks.

Followup from First Yogg Attempts/Strat guide.
Another raid weekend slips by with Yogg-Saron still alive, but not without giving him some heavy wounds. The rest of the instance is going smoothly for us, aside that we trained other tanks and some new ranged dps on the Vezax fight and had a bit of a learning curve with that, but it did snap together. When we jumped on Yogg this week we were going straight into P2 on the first pulls.
Here is something interesting: we switched to having only 2 healers. One holy priest, one resto druid. We had two mages in the party that helped with decursing, and I won't pretend it was easy, but we could steadily get through P1 and P2 with only two healers, and we were the only ones who could cleanse magic, poison, and diseases.
Raid makeup was such: 1 prot warrior, 2 healers (resto druid, holy priest), 2 mages, rogue, DK, feral druid, warlock, hunter.
- Extra dps made the phases go a whole lot faster, and is likely a major key to getting the quick-kill achievement.
- P2 is mostly just a cleansing battle anyway, aside heals to the "crusher-tank," those caught in constrictors, and the dps who took damage in the mind.
- If the holy priest gets MC'd in P1, you're out of luck until it wears off. CC them and stay away from their psychic scream range. Otherwise, bring along a pally or another priest to help cleanse, whatever their spec.
- Fewer healers to help deal with the heavy damage of the adds that spawn in P3.
Phase 1: ribbit.
Our wipes to this phase were usually from having our priest MCed, or some streak of bad luck with the cloud rotations forcing healers to fall out of range of people with painful dots (usually the DoT combined with Sara's Favor). Rarely did we get overrun with extra adds from people touching clouds, and I'm proud of the guild for that; even when someone did touch a cloud, they admitted to it quickly, so that the tank knew to find it and grab it when it spawned.
Phase 2: Mmm brains...
The amazing cleanse-fest. As discussed in my first Yogg Musings post, we followed the tank outside to the crushers, where he served as the "melee attacks" needed to calm the things down while the ranged killed the tentacles.
Squeeze: this debuff can be added to your raid frames to mark those constricted; preferably it should be in a different spot than your regular debuffs because of all the curses, poisons, diseases, and magic debuffs being thrown about. I stuck it in a corner using GridIndicatorCornerIcons, leaving the "cleansable" debuffs to the center icon, and it served me well for noticing who'd been grabbed and needed heals/help.
The vast majority of our wipes in this phase were from melee being grabbed by constrictors when they were across the room from the healers, usually right as they were being punted out of the Mind and were low health for various reasons. While we were usually able to cleanse them before they entered the portals, their exit was often too far away from the raid to be in range of help. My best guess on how to handle this is to have the ranged group reposition themselves to meet up with the melee, which will require a lot more coordination. Tips on this would be appreciated!
Phase 3: You catch the license plate...?
While we reached P3 several times, we didn't get far into it: we're still working out what strategy will work best for us. Since we had 4 players in tow that were just learning Yogg fresh, it was all a bit overwhelming for them to remember everything for P1 and P2, let alone be able to get a smooth transition to P3. Our P3 transitions were anything BUT smooth, usually with the melee all running for sanity-wells while the ranged tried to clean up the remaining tentacles, and the adds would pop and kill off healers before they were picked up.
Since an unhurt add will one-shot most players (their damage weakens as they loose health), we noted that on the transition, healers should move well away from the boss, acting as the heal-threat bait to pull the adds to the tank. Healers would move towards the door, with the tank and ranged players in front of Yogg's maw to pick up the adds. Adds seem to spawn in Yogg's belly, so this layout of placing the healers FAR AWAY seems like a great idea, to me!
Rough outline:
Drawing not to scale... healers would need to be in range to heal the dps, of course :)
Two unhurt adds would quickly overwhelm the tank, however; dps will need to be quick about whittling them down. It seems a tricky line to walk between getting the aggro to the tank and getting them dpsed down fast enough that they don't decimate him.
That's as far as we got before we went and kicked Emalon over (I got a pvp belt... yay?), and called it a week. Those who have killed Yogg10: what are your suggestions? How many healers did you bring?
Doodle to share:
Was messing around with photoshop filters. They're so much quicker than "painting" with the brushes, but I gotta admit that the brush/smudge tool paintings look a lot nicer.

There was a creeper caught in Chicago.
A 70-year-old Tinley Park man accused of using dandelions to try to lure four Grissom Middle School children into his car last month…
Why? What horrible thing was he trying to do with these kids?
…told police he was actually trying to teach them about creationism.
Gaaaah! Well, it could have been worse, much worse. But it's still rather awful that he was trying to poison those kids' minds.
Police caught up with the man on Nov. 5, based on descriptions the children provided of him and his vehicle.
Asked about the incident, the man said he'd recently returned from a seminar debunking Darwinism. He said he wanted to share the information he'd learned that proved the theory of evolution "is false" with neighbors and children.
Now I'm curious, though. What creation seminar was this that drove a good Christian to drive about, trying to lure children into his car?
And why did the police just let him go?


text: same as bn13 but allowing density to exceed 1.e+18. This represents some serious approximations, physically: there are various quantities which are tabulated vs. density, and those grids (still) end at 1018. For example, the recombination into high n levels for each ion is lumped into one rate, for levels beyond those which are treated spectroscopically. Computationally, the recombination rate into these levels can be written n_e * alpha_highn(n_e, T). So the n_e which is the argument of the alpha_highn function still can't go beyond 1018. But the n_e multiplier can be arbitrarily large. Similar comments apply to some other types of rates.

Lemonade Day Austin – May 5, 2013 – Entrepreneurial Kids
May 5 2013
Every year there is a nationwide effort to encourage kids to think like entrepreneurs called Lemonade Day. This year it was held in Austin on May 5 (cinco de Mayo), 2013 and both of my kids participated with some of their classmates. One location was at the Rookie Triathlon and the other was at Mueller Lake Park. My daughter's team made a profit of $91. They split $90 three ways and gave $1 to the 3 year old sister of one of the girl's on the team. Her younger sister is so cute and had a sign that said "buy my sister's lemonade" that she held while yelling the words on her sign. She drew in many customers by her sheer cuteness and confidence! Although she deserved more than $1, she is only 3 and thought $1 was an amazing amount of money. My sister and her friends are 7 and 8 years old…oh what a few years of living does to change your perspective on the value of $1. 🙂
My son and his buddy are still calculating their returns, but it looks like they made money after deducting costs. I've told both my son and daughter that no gloating is allowed. I have a feeling my daughter's team performed better mostly because of Location, Location, Location!
Lemonade Day is a great way to teach kids about the economics of running a little business and was started to help teach kids about entrepreneurship. The kids create signs and are supposed to figure out what supplies they need and how many drinks/snacks they need to sell to make a profit. It's fun for the parents too and gives us an opportunity to talk about business, marketing, and selling with our kids. Those are skills that will serve them well for life! Gone are the days of steady jobs that last 20 or 30+ years. Here are the days where most people will hold 10 to 20 different jobs [infographic] at different companies in their lifetime. Might as well teach them how to pick themselves into the job/career that they want!Author: Aruni | Filed under: entrepreneur, entrepreneurship, parenting | Tags: entrepreneurs, lemonade day, lemonade day austin, lemonade stand, life skills, pick yourself, profits | Comments Off on Lemonade Day Austin – May 5, 2013 – Entrepreneurial Kids

|Vol State high school equivalency staff in their new home at the college. Left to right: June Spears, instructor; Tammy Wade, paraprofessional; Debbie Thomson, paraprofessional; and Franklin Dee Johnson, supervisor.
The move has been completed and operations for Sumner County High School Equivalency (also known as GED prep) and the EL/Civics program are up and running at Vol State. The College manages the Sumner and Macon County Adult Education programs, formerly coordinated through the Sumner County and Macon County Boards of Education. The primary classes offered are high school equivalency courses, designed to get people ready to take the GED high school equivalency exam. Vol State also has English Literacy/Civics education (EL/Civics) courses for speakers of other languages. EL/Civics combines English language learning with information about the United States government and American society. The college took on the programs to serve the community and provide a direct pathway for education.
"There are about 22 thousand people in Sumner and Macon counties who do not have a high school diploma or equivalency," said Adult Education Supervisor, Franklin Dee Johnson. "They need one to be successful in the working world. The job market is extremely limited for people without a high school diploma."
The High School Equivalency and EL Civics programs are free. Currently EL/Civics is only available in Sumner County. The Macon County location is up and running, as well, and has Lafayette resident June Spears as instructor. Assistant vice president for Continuing Education, Hilary Marabeti, says the college plans to grow the Sumner and Macon county programs to include a clear path to college.
"We're bringing the services of the college into the classrooms," Marabeti said. "We want to get the high school equivalency and EL/Civics students ready for college and ready for the workplace. We will bring that information and show those opportunities to the students."
Classes are offered during the day and in the evening at various times in both Sumner and Macon Counties. The Sumner offices are located on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin in the Warf Building Room 126. The phone number is 230-3621. Macon County classes are held at the Adult Education Center, located behind the Macon County Schools offices at 501 College Street in Lafayette. The phone number for the Macon County Center is 615-666-2125.

Sat Oct 02 1999 07:19: Dan and I want to write a game, for use when we get sick of XBlast and FreeCiv. A networked game, obviously. Dan wanted to do a roguelike game, but unless you have 100+ people playing, a networked roguelike game is not that interesting. So I talked him out of that unless he can come up with a way to make it interesting.
We have one really good idea, but it involves heavy 3D stuff. So I don't want to do it straight off. When Dan wakes up I'm going to try to sell him on a souped-up version of the classic Atari 2600 game Tank. I'm searching through Freshmeat to see if that's been done already, and picking up any other interesting games as I go along.

SSL Live. L550Absolute Power and Ultimate Flexibility.
Audio Performance
The finest studio sound on stage.
SSL has always set the audio performance benchmark for others to reach and sound quality is the primary design consideration of SSL Live consoles. Nothing is sacrificed so that the ultimate sonic performance can be delivered. The Live local I/O and Stageboxes use SSL's patented mic amp technology to deliver SSL SuperAnalogue™ performance with better than industry standard studio grade mic pre's combined with 24bit/96kHz DAC's to deliver a frequency response that is within 0.05 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz (within 1.3dB down to 10Hz) and a THD of 0.005%. The circuitry is DC coupled (no electrolytic capacitors in the signal path) and high input impedance. Mic amp gain is controlled with extreme precision in more than 16,000 steps ensuring totally smooth control, very good common mode rejection and extremely low distortion. 64-bit internal processing is used throughout guaranteeing maximum precision to support the highest standards of audio performance within all our processors. It all adds up to an exceptionally detailed sound we are sure you will love.
Audio quality is a key factor in the usability of SSL Live consoles. Users report that they are able to achieve great mixes quickly and easily without the need to employ additional effects and processing to to compensate for inferior mic pre's, audio converters, internal audio path and mix bus. SSL Live consoles provide the audio processing toolkit that generations of SSL mix engineers have used to create countless hit recordings along with a suite of freshly developed processors. The full processing paths include a four band parametric EQ that can be switched between a precise constant Q mode and 'SSL Legacy EQ' with our well known unique tonal character, hi- and lo-pass filters with selectable slopes, SSL dynamics presented as separate compressor, analogue style tube emulator, expander/gate as well as a delay line and cleverly configured all pass filter. Our Live consoles also feature precision analysis tools such as the fixed point per octave spectrum analyser and the acclaimed Dialogue Automix system from SSL's broadcast consoles.
Effects Rack
SSL Live consoles feature an internal effects rack that can be accessed via the insert points of Channels, Stems, Auxes and Masters as well as from the router. Designed to emulate a studio setup, the effects rack allows engineers to feel immediately comfortable creating complex effect routings with every parameter stored as part of the console automation. There are seven categories of studio quality, mono, stereo and multi-channel, ultra low latency effects designed specifically for live use. Reverbs, Delays, Modulation effects, EQ and even the famous SSL Stereo Bus Compressor are all included in a suite of more than 45 effects and tools. The effects rack has its own dedicated processing core with adaptive processing that intelligently reduces the overall processor overhead as you increase the effects load. Depending on the effect type up to 96 effects can be used in an L500 Plus and up to 48 in an L300.
In addition to the options included in the full processing channels the effects rack offers additional EQ options: The G-Flex EQ (which comes in 8, 16, 24 & 32 filter versions) offers incredibly flexible Graphic EQ filters, a 10 or 6 band Parametric with a menu of selectable filter characteristics per EQ band and the smooth Contour program shaping EQ based on node selection operated with a familiar graphic EQ user interface. Allowing the creation of asymetric EQ curves.
In addition to SSL's renowned channel Dynamics in the full processing channels, a full complement of insert effects includes our famous Stereo Bus Compressor and Listen Mic Compressor along with high quality De-esser, Dynamic EQ, gate, Multiband Compressor and Transient Shaper.
Our Reverb tool kit brings studio hardware grade depth and precision to on board console effects. There is a complete collection including Gated, Early Reflection, Ambient, Cathedral, Stadium, Recording Room, Tight ER and Plate reverbs, a superb vocal processor and the creative effect 'D Gen' processor.
From simple delays to complex multi tap echoes, the Delay effects are ultra-versatile and processor friendly making complex delays easy to achieve. Delay types include: 'Classic' & Multi-Tap, Tape Echo, Ping Pong and feature modulation and filters. Delays can be set via numeric time, tempo tap or BPM (with note value scaler).
Taking inspiration from both studio and live standards, we have created a diverse and fully featured range of Modulation effects that have a classic warm sonic signature with lots of depth and character. The selection includes: Band Split Flanger, Classic Flanger, Envelope Flanger, Classic Phaser, Chorus and Guitar Chorus.
Warmth & Noise
The VHD Saturator is a digital emulation of the highly regarded SSL Variable Harmonic Drive (VHD) circuit that introduces variable amounts of 2nd or 3rd order harmonic distortion to give controllable blends of transistor grit or tube style warmth. There are 'Guitar Cabinet' and 'Bass Cabinet' emulations. Our Denoiser is the ideal processor for controlling noise polluted source material. Our Enhancer provides non EQ based frequency control tools and our Pitch Shifter is smooth and pure.
Audio Tools
When it comes to setting up, there is a fully featured tone/noise generator, a precision SPL Meter, a Phase Scope and the FPPO-lyer; the only built in FFT Analyser that provides true Fixed Point Per Octave analysis and thus truly accurate frequency analysis throughout the frequency spectrum. The FPPOlyser offers stereo analysis and two 'cross hairs'; one tracks the maximum level and frequency and the other can be set monitor the level of a specific frequency.
Dialogue Automix
Taken directly from our broadcast consoles our Dialogue Automix system is a powerful aid to the professional mix engineer. One of the most challenging tasks a mix engineer can face is riding the faders to maintain a smooth, balanced mix in something like an awards show with multiple presenters. Dialogue Automix allows the operator to set the relative mix of 12, 16 or 24 microphones (per effect instance) and then automatically makes fast, transparent crossfades between them in response to incoming signal levels. It has two distinct benefits: it helps eliminate 'noises off' and uses a smart algorithm that maintains unity gain across the entire mic group, thus keeping the overall background noise level smoothly balanced. It frees the mix engineer to focus on balance and sound quality rather than be chained to the faders.

"Indeed you are called. Otherwise you wouldn't be here in this
defining epoch of the human story."
~ James O'Dea
I'd like to share from my heart, one last thought: Why I believe it is so important that each and every one of us becomes a Peacebuilder. Our leaders have spent $1 TRILLION on wars since 9/11. I admire the courage of our young men and women in the military; many of them are Peacebuilders. They put their lives at risk to protect the innocent and the vulnerable. But even within the military, there are grave doubts as to whether those wars achieved much of value, according to Capt. Paul Chappell, who's speaking at our conference. Think about how much good we could have done to solve the problems of social justice, hunger, poverty, and even global warming if we had used that money in other ways! I constantly remind myself how lucky I am to live in a time when it is possible to change human history. And I think about how silly and trivial my daily challenges are next to a child in Africa or Asia who doesn't know if she is going to be safe or if he will have food to eat today.
If you and I move forward with passion and courage in the cause of Peace and social justice and if we never give up, we'll be saving the lives of children we've never even met. That's why, if you're a Peacebuilder, you're an angel. That's why it's so important for us to build Peace...
because the children are counting on us.
I hope you will move "heaven and earth" to come to the IMAGINE ~ Peace Conference 2011. It's an experience you'll remember the rest of your life. Prepare to be moved into your heart space and inspired into ACTION as never before!
You'll end up energized and inspired. You'll go home with a true sense of your mission and destiny. More importantly, you'll have the blueprints and toolkits you need to become a leader in Peacebuilding leading up to the
Summer of Peace 2012
Should be fantastic, so I hope you can join me!
With love,
Eric Kasum

Over the last decade, smart meter technology has been installed in millions of residential and commercial users in the United States. Indeed, the U.S. is ahead of much of the rest of the world as utilities install smart meters across their service areas. For much of the industry, the primary business drivers for deployment have been cost reduction and energy savings. Cost reduction is relatively easy to justify because smart meters can reduce or eliminate the cost of physically visiting meters to collect readings for billing purposes. Advanced meters also include remote control switches to disconnect power as well as measure time-of-use, again without the need for physical visits. For energy savings, smart meters also provide a way for utilities to offer services to reduce consumption by managing individual appliances in return for a reduced rate. These technologies are proven, mature, and are widely deployed.
Less prominent, but just as important, is the role of smart meters in disaster recovery situations. It's important to remember that smart meters are smart sensors. In addition to measuring energy usage for billing purposes, these sensors can provide valuable functions during disasters and during recovery. The following paragraphs outline a weather disaster scenario and the role that smart meters play in managing the situation. All of the capabilities described here are available and shipping with current smart meter technology.
As the storm rolls in, utility managers begin preparing. They start by comparing real and reactive power measurements on commercial and industrial (C&I) meters to see which commercial customers are still running large inductive loads. These loads indicate the activity of large electric motors and indicate which factories are running or shutting down. Smart meters provide these measurements over short periods, allowing utility managers to see which motor loads are shed prior to a storm. Information on factory shutdowns can be forwarded to public disaster coordinators. Next, the utility managers verify that known vacant buildings and houses have been disconnected from the grid by sending messages to smart meters. This action helps to prevent fires in case of major structural damage that would otherwise go unreported. If circuits are still active, disconnect commands can be sent to properly equipped smart meters and executed within seconds.
As the storm blows through, inevitable power outages begin to occur as power assets are disrupted. In some cases, distribution feeders are cut and power is restored automatically through another path. In other cases, however, distribution feeders are completely disrupted and power is lost. In still other locations, individual drops are cut, or transformers or other assets are damaged. These disruptions are extremely difficult to diagnose from a utility standpoint, because most utilities have little or no instrumentation on them. Similar to the fog of war, utility operators are overwhelmed by waves of information from telephone calls, first responders, and their own crews. It's difficult to prioritize the work or to even know what kind of crew to dispatch to a particular location.
Luckily, smart meters can help. Smart meters use capacitors or batteries to store sufficient energy to send out a "dying gasp" message in the event of power loss. As this information is collected and analyzed a clear picture of the various outages begins to emerge. If a large group of meters goes out at the same time on the same distribution feeder, it's likely that the feeder is damaged. Likewise, if all meters on a particular transformer or particular street report outages, the problem can be isolated to that location. Smart meters can even be used to detect disruptions to individual drop wires if neighbors still have power. More importantly, these disruptions can be located, analyzed, and acted on long before consumers even begin to report in with phone calls. This enables the utility and emergency coordinators to not only know where power is out, but predict when it will be restored down to individual addresses.
In particularly bad situations with significant building damage, it may be necessary for emergency coordinators to cut power to certain areas to minimize the risk of fire or injury due to energized lines until they can be inspected, but with the use of smart meters, power can be shut off remotely to individual addresses reported by emergency personnel.
If generation or feeder capacity is adversely affected during the storm, the utility may choose to shed load by implementing a demand response system. This enables the utility to send a message to turn off water heaters, air conditioners, and other appliances on a temporary basis. Normally, demand response systems are offered to consumers in exchange to favorable rates in order to balance and level loads; however, during a disaster situation, these same tools can be used to reduce the load on an otherwise stressed distribution system. Smart meters enable this capability by providing the communications path for the utility to send load commands to consumer appliances and verify their execution.
Finally, during the restoration phase of the disaster, smart meters are critical in reporting the resumption of power. Often there are nested outages in an area. When a utility crew notifies their dispatcher that power has been restored, it is a simple matter to verify that all the smart meters in that area are responding appropriately, but often a second, hidden outage is exposed deeper in the neighborhood by the smart meters. If that is the case, the utility crew can easily fix it while still onsite, rather than dispatching another crew later.
Smart meters are critical during disasters and during recovery. In preparation for an emergency, they can be used to disconnect empty buildings and detect large motor loads. During the disaster, smart meters provide practically real-time views of outages and disruptions before they are reported by consumers. The visibility they provide greatly reduces restoration time by giving operations personnel, field crews, and emergency coordinators a view of the restoration process.

Mexican authorities said on Saturday they detained 108 undocumented immigrants along highways, at bus stations and on a cargo train route that thousands of Central Americans use every year to cross Mexico and enter the US illegally.
Ninety five Central Americans, mostly from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, were detained in the southern states of Oaxaca and Tabasco during sweeps by federal police, Mexico's migration institute said in a statement.
Seven of the Central Americans were children, the institute said.
An increasing number of Central Americans are sneaking across Mexico's largely unpoliced southern border en route to the US. Migrants have been spurred on by rampant poverty and rising drug gang violence in their home countries.
Citizens of other countries are also risking the dangerous route across southern Mexico. Eight people from India and five from Bangladesh were also detained in the southern Mexican police sweeps.
US President Barack Obama is to travel to Mexico and Central America this week, and his talks with leaders will likely include prospects for a sweeping reform of US immigration laws and efforts to reduce the tide of undocumented immigrants.
The US Senate, which is controlled by Obama's Democrats, is pushing ahead on a bipartisan bill that would bolster border security and put 11 million people living illegally in the US on a 13-year path to citizenship.
However, the legislation faces a challenge in the Republican-controlled US House of Representatives.
The number of undocumented Central Americans deported from the US has risen in recent years. Nearly 95,000 people from the region were deported from the US last year compared to about 78,500 in 2011, according to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement data.
Most of the migrants were from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, where gang violence has increased in recent years.
Mass detentions of Central Americans in Mexico are common, but authorities have been criticized for lax enforcement at the border. Police are accused of exploiting migrants for bribes, while local gangs regularly kidnap migrants and seek ransoms from their relatives.

Let's say a box is moved by attaching a rope to it and pulling with an applied force at a certain angle. Now, let's say that this is being done on an inclined ramp. How would I find the acceleration?
The mass, coefficient of friction, and applied force are known.
The problem I am having is the fact that this is being done on an inclined ramp. For example, if the box was being pulled on flat ground, then $\Sigma$$Fy$ would be 0 due to the condition of equilibrium. From that the normal force can be found, which in turn can find the force of kinetic friction, and finally the acceleration.
However, if this is done on an inclined ramp, the above would not work. What do I need to do differently to solve this type of problem?

Tyres operate in challenging environments. They must provide traction, wear, and handling, while simultaneously helping to provide reduced rolling resistance for improved fuel economy. Kevlar® Engineered Elastomer for tyre reinforcement is used to help stiffen tyre components critical to cornering and handling. Its ability to reinforce rubber compounds, yet maintain low hysteretic losses, helps provide manufacturers with a route to lower rolling resistance.
What is Kevlar® Engineered Elastomer?
DuPont™ Kevlar® Engineered Elastomer is a dispersion of a highly branched para-aramid pulp available in a family of rubber matrices. It is based upon a proprietary technology that opens the structure of the highly branched pulp and allows it to be uniformly dispersed into our customers' rubber formulations, enabling efficient reinforcement.
Kevlar® Engineered Elastomer has been helping to provide improved performance in power transmission (PT) belts for over 15 years. Benefits in PT belts include lower hysteresis, abrasion resistance, and cut and chip resistance (tooth shear), leading to longer life. The belt manufacturer also can take advantage of improved green strength and lower cost of manufacturing due to ease of dispersion. Kevlar® Engineered Elastomer can help provide improved tear resistance and reduced crack growth propagation in applications such as conveyor belts.
How is Kevlar® Engineered Elastomer used?
Besides tyre reinforcement technology, Kevlar® Engineered Elastomer is also used for:

New here... Quad Suggestions as well!
Hello everyone my names Jeremy new to the forum here and just getting myself back into this scene after about 15 years.
I used to skate at the Fountain Valley Skating Rink every Sunday for family night for almost 7 years and recently just went back last Thursday for adult night. Definitely some nostalgia and realized how fun and relaxing a night out like that can be, except for wearing those rental skates! I plan on going a couple times a month now!
Also came on here just to get some thoughts on what pair of skates I should go for? Not looking really to spend too much just some decent speed skates and if anyone is willing to part ways with an older pair I am all eyes and ears. I would be about a size 10-10.5! I am located in Orange County.

If you're not willing to wait and have a bit more to spend, there's still a reasonable supply of used speed wheels and plates available via this forum, but you're probably going to have to do your own build / mount. You'll end up with a 'nostalgia' build at a reasonable price. Alternatively, buy an off the shelf set of skates from companies like MOTA, Riedell, BONT etc, but most of their 'speed' skates are really derby skates.
Maybe fang around your local rink for a few months on that and then decide if you want back into the game to warrant something more personalised.

1. The wheels are basic and will get it done cheaply
2. Bearings, no need to spend tons on bearings
3. Plates, invaders from sure grip. Then later as you can afford it, get the DA conversion kit. DA45 has the broadest tuning ability of skates. So you can tailor them to your preference.
4. What money is left would be for the boots of your choice.
This is a starting point solid skate setup.
Changes can be made as money is available that will improve the setup.
Note, if you have the money to do it. The avenger setup is very good and would be a little more than the invaders plus the DA kit.

Dear Reader: Do you think you are related to the individuals listed in this post? Please drop me a note! I love hearing from cousins and others researching my family!
Over the holidays, my sister and I drove from Knoxville to the town of Elizabethton, Tenn. Elizabethton, and its surroundings in Carter County, is where generations of Hayeses grew up and where our great uncle, Ben Hayes, still resides. Ben took us to Elizabethton's Happy Valley Memorial Park, where his parents, my great grandparents, are buried.
My great grandparents were William E. Hayes and his wife, Della M. CROW.
William E. Hayes (1892-1968) was listed as a mechanic at a silk mill on the 1930 U.S. census (found on Ancestry.com). In the 1920 census, he was listed as a laborer at a stone quarry in Tennessee. In between 1900 and 1910, William moved with his parents and siblings briefly to Oregon, where his father, Joseph, worked in a rock quarry. Prior to that time, Joseph was listed as a farmer in Tennessee.
Della (Crow) Hayes was my maternal grandmother's mother. I remember going to visit her at her home in Elizabethton. She passed away when I was 9.
This is my great-grandmother, Della (Crow) Hayes, probably taken around 1981-82. I hope to post soon about visiting her house last week as well.

My family struggles as we not only have to keep gluten free, but low carb too for my daughter with Type 1 Diabetes. I agree with all the ideas posted below, however corn chips and salsa is a scary option as a "healthy" substitute. Our children are so carb addicted as are we adults that I am sad to think that parents believe this is a quick healthy snack. Non processed is best, meaning vegetables, nuts, some occasional low sugar fruits - make your kids eat their salad...don't back down. It kills me to see the children in my daughters pre-k class that turn their noses up to any thing that is not carb or dairy laden. Bad options lead to premorbid diabetes and obesity which are raging through our society. For a healthy grain and rice/corn free option, use quinoa which is uber high in protein and lower in carbs. We bake with a lot of nut flours if you aren't allergic to nuts and we drink almond milk and coconut milk.
A friend just emailed this to me and I thought of this question. Hope it helps.

Very happy with the order. Found the same kitchen pulls we found at Menards for for more than a dollar cheaper per pull! Will definitely recommend and use again!

One of the big questions surrounding full-electric vehicles is what to do with the batteries after they've exceeded their in-vehicle life. Well, Nissan's partnered with Sumitomo in a plan to resell the Nissan Leaf's batteries for residential and commercial uses.
The Nissan Leaf will be equipped with a 24kWh Lithium Ion battery manufactured by NEC and, over time, the performance of the battery will decline. This is the nature of batteries. When the battery's capacity reaches 80% of it's original, it'll need to be replaced. Instead of just chucking the battery and all its baked-in manufacturing, labor, research, and material costs, Nissan will instead resell them through Sumitomo. The batteries aren't after all bad, just have a reduced capacity making them no longer suitable for road use. The batteries will be sold for industrial storage or home use with an envisioned market of up to 50,000 batteries a year by 2020.
The plan will also help to reduce the purchase and lease prices of the Nissan Leaf by offsetting the high additional cost of battery — a significant benefit considering the price of competitive all-electric cars is estimated at $7,000-$20,000 over a traditional vehicle. With Nissan aiming at an annual production of 200,000 Leafs by 2012, it's a good thing they're planning end of life for those batteries now. [Financial Times]
