text: The Search for the King of the Original NarniaEsther Inglis-Arkell9/25/13 12:26pmFiled to: secret historyprester johnhistorynarniafantasy361EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink In the twelfth century, a letter started circulating around medieval courts. This letter was from Prester John, the ruler of a utopian Christian nation with utopian societies and perpetual miracles. It was one of the first fantasies about stepping through a special passage to a magical land. Advertisement For three centuries, European monarchs sought out the kingdom of Prester John. Cartographers put in on maps, moving it from Asia to Africa to the Americas, as geographic knowledge expanded. Expeditions, many of which never returned, were sent out bringing letters and gifts to the great king. This supposed kingdom blended fantasy elements with strong Christian morals — just as C.S. Lewis' portal fantasy Narnia series did over 800 years later. The letter spoke of the land being inhabited by "that bird which is called the phoenix, cyclopses, satyrs and women of the same race," while also being a Christian stronghold among the pagans where, "In our country there is abundance of milk and honey; in another quarter in our land no poison hurts, no frog croaks, no snakes hiss in the herbage; no venomous animals can abide there, or do harm to anyone. " It's not really clear why croaking frogs are such big problems, but oh well. Advertisement The original letter was rather short, talking about how Christianity allowed Prester John to have a kingdom of unsurpassed riches, goodness, and moral righteousness, while other religious leaders served under him as tributaries. Over time, however, legends of Prester John grew more involved. His kingdom became greater, including rivers of precious jewels and seas of gold sand. This is what some of the early explorers were after, and why kings paid for their journeys. Later on, explorers were looking for El Dorado or the Fountain of Youth, but medieval Europeans were striking out to find the kingdom of Prester John and his bejeweled rivers, salamanders that lived in fire, and palaces of gold. Prester John's kingdom was a good three centuries earlier than most of the portal fantasies we know, and too unreservedly Christian to fit in with most adventure or pop culture stories, but it's interesting to know that Christianity and fantasy were blended so early, and that they had such a profound effect on history.Now if only we could say that the kingdom was on Mars. We'd get there much quicker. Sponsored Via About, Mary Jones, and Prester John's Letter: A Medieval UtopiaReply36 repliesLeave a reply

lepard goby My lepard goby is acting kinda strang. Most of the time he is at the bottom of the tank but sometimes he likes to (he has cut down on this) jet around in the mid waters of the aquarium. I have hurd of pufferfish with the same types of activitys and thats because they are board, could it be the same thing? I'm worried that this might be some type of sickness. his colors are good, he eats just fine, he has no wounds, but he just likes to do this. :evil: |
how long has he been in the tank? he seems fine. |
If he's eating a looks normal i would not loose any sleep. Goby's sometimes behave very oddly, displaying random burst of sparatic energy then settling down. Regardless, be sure to let us know if his behavior changes at all : ) |

Police arrest smugglers behind fatal boat journey
By South Asia correspondent Michael EdwardsPolice in Pakistan say they have broken up an international people-smuggling syndicate that was responsible for a boat that sank on its way to Australia last June, killing 94 people.
Police arrested four men who were allegedly at the centre of the syndicate that operated out of a travel agency, which had branches across Pakistan.
Pakistan's federal investigation agency says the syndicate sent people to Malaysia on valid visas and then on to Indonesia illegally.
The smugglers then arranged boats to try to get the asylum seekers to Australia.
One of those boats sank south of Java on its way to Australia.
One of the men has reportedly told investigators they crammed more than 150 people onto the boat, which had a capacity of only 60.
All of those who died were from Pakistan's minority Hazara community.
Most of the bodies were not recovered.

Draft Lottery Winners and Losers
Wednesday's NBA Draft Lottery was seen as a contest for the rights to draft Kentucky big man Anthony Davis. That right ended up going to the biggest winner of the night, the New Orleans Hornets. The Hornets, however, were far from the only team that was happy at the end of the night. So, who were the biggest winners and losers from the lottery?

The crocodilian species, among them the american alligator have between 74 and 80 teeth , divided
into their 2 jaws. The interesting thing concerning crocodiles, alligators and so on is the fact that they
change teeth all life, when one falls, another grows in the same place. Alligator teeth continue to be replaced by newer ones. This occurs every two years. Teeth in the front are replaced more often than teeth to the rear of the mouth.

Takeover Risk and Dividend Strategy: A Study of UK Firms
The authors investigate the relationship between a company's dividend strategy and its risk of takeover. Their results from a large panel of U.K. quoted companies suggest that higher dividend payments are associated with a significantly lower conditional probability (hazard) of takeover. Moreover, firms that wish to avoid takeover would be better to distribute the marginal L1 of earnings in dividends rather than investing it in the company. The authors consider two explanations for these findings. They suggest that the presence of an active market for corporate control could encourage firms to raise dividends to maintain shareholder loyalty. Copyright 1998 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd

Using the new Translate system | 3 | 06:42, 19 July 2011 |
Hi. You may recall that I wrote that on UserBase all translations using the old system would disappear as quickly as we could get pages onto the new system. TechBase has now started the same transition.
Why should you change? That depends on the purpose of the pages in question. On UserBase for instance we do have some pages that are basically guidelines for translators of a specific language. They will not be translated into other languages, so the issue doesn't arise. For the rest, where guidelines are applicable to all languages, it makes sense to have them in as many languages as possible. The difficulty here is in maintaining the old system - people reading in other languages have no idea whether anything has changed since their translation was made.
The new system depends on a Master Page being written in English. All changes are made there. When something changes the table of pages for each language will show that their page is no longer completely accurate (See the Translation Statistics link in the sidebar). On going to the translation page, the translator requests to see only untranslated messages, so it becomes very easy to maintain consistency.
Because the page you were working on has the i18n language bar, I assume that it falls into this latter category. If you would like some help to get started with the new system, do ask - there is always someone who can help on #kde-www, or you can leave messages on User talk pages. The new side-bar links under Translator Help Pages are worth exploring too.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for advice. However, I don't have a translator account, and I am doing only occasionally some updates and currently don't have the time to do regular translations. Sorry.

Philo's Trip ReportSo did we ever get any trip reports? Or was this a one time effort at Philo I'm-so-special I-travel-for-business ego gratification?
http://www.crazyontap.com/topic.php?TopicId=391 Philo has been devastatingly offended by the fact that he works for microsoft*, and has withdrawn his CoT posts in protest.
* ...I may have this part wrong, but its something like that, he got a little distraught and jumbled at the end.... thanks for the clarification*
*no actual clarity conveyed, imagined, intended, or implied. no problem whatsoever*
* what are you, some kind of fucking smartass? Apparently blank is trying to show you the highest form of flattery, wSV. So...if you think he's a smartass...
Ah, nevermind. You know where I'm going with this. yep. I _am_ a little unclear as to why you would want to get there however?
Because I'm an asshole. I thought you knew that.
if this is going to get ugly, could you lads take to vanilla. we're working on a happier, more playful vibe over here. thanks! :)
Nah, nothing ugly here. Nothing to see, move along.
I'd hate to see an entire thread deleted, you know. ahh, yes. personally Ive always found your tendency to make pointless random attacks for no good reason to be one of your less endearing traits.
this _isn't_ your personal attack pen stanton, surely you have more to contribute than personal insults? I like pie.
Interesting. My post seems to have been deleted.
Let me try again. I like pie. And now it's back.
Wow. Moderators seem to be playing. How interesting. I see the original, but it's useful to have an important sentiment like that preserved in duplicate.
It was gone for a second, as was the "A" post right below it.
sorry, Im still getting the hang of this moderator thing. how do you delete the _poster_ again?
hmmm...that might have done it. Aaron? are you still around?
That's shameful. Yours was a clever send up of the rapid decline of the thread into mindlessness with a bit of pointed nonsense. My reply was both an acknowledgement of yours and a invocation of the temptations and dangerous of unrestrainted nonsense. Probably too stuble for our trigger happy moderating ..... .
Well, we'll see if this works or not.
damn, aaron still exists.
sorry aaron, there seems ot be a bug with the moderation system here...could you clip yourself around the head with an axe? Could you demonstrate for me on yourself first? I'd hate to get it wrong.
I would, seriously, but expecting me to beat myself over the head with an axe just to alleviate your lack of understanding just seems unreasonable to me.
give it the old college try old chap, if you get it wrong the first time, no harm done....just try and try again... could you guys post a notice in the main thread screen if this ever gets back around to trip reports? cause I'm not going to be checking for updates, but I'd sure like to hear about those trip reports.
It's not unreasonable if you look at it from my point of view.
Trip reports?
Oh. Philo's gone places and done stuff. "I would, seriously, but expecting me to beat myself over the head with an axe just to alleviate your lack of understanding just seems unreasonable to me. "
wSV and Aaron, please kiss and have hot make-up sex. But not in front of the kids, ok? |

Official Title ICMJE | Behavioral Science Aspects of Rapid Test Acceptance | |||
Brief Summary | The relevance of this research to public health is to make it possible to test for hepatitis C and syphilis at point of care so that people will receive their results immediately instead of requiring people to wait for at least a week to get their test results. This research will make rapid tests for HIV available that can detect HIV infection earlier and are more accurate than current tests available in the United States. | |||
Detailed Description | This application addresses "Studies to improve access and utilization of HIV counseling and testing" for "HIV/AIDS and AIDS-related co-infections" such as "hepatitis C virus (HCV), other sexually transmitted infections (STIs)" that are part of PA-07-307 Drug Abuse Aspects of HIV/AIDS. The only rapid tests that are approved for use in the US currently are for HIV infection. Tests for other conditions such as hepatitis C (HCV) and syphilis are in use in other countries. In response to an Opportunity that the CDC published in the Federal Register, there are now candidate rapid test kits for HCV and syphilis available for experimental use in the US. Different combinations of rapid and standard tests will be offered to participants in a four-arm trial to assess which tests are accepted by the participants. Only a minority of clients at CBRS who have been offered the rapid test for HIV have accepted it. Those who chose rapid HIV tests were more likely to be male, educated, gay, young and White. They were less likely to be Black, or injection drug users. The proposed study has the potential to have a significant impact upon screening for HIV, syphilis, and HCV. Rapid tests have the potential to increase the receipt of test results, particularly among groups that are less likely to return for their results using traditional testing. The candidate tests are designed for Point of Care (either oral fluid and/or whole blood), and thus will require real-time testing, so the trial will be able to evaluate both the accuracy of the tests in settings of intended use and their acceptability to potential clients in real-world situations. | |||

text: Did Star Trek Change Your Life?Annalee Newitz5/13/09 7:41pmFiled to: True ConfessionsStar TrekStar Trek: TNGTelevisionMoviesJj AbramsFandomTop1361EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Fans get so passionate about how JJ Abrams has changed Star Trek because oftentimes Star Trek has changed our lives in some way. Why is this franchise so life-transforming while others are not? Advertisement Rarely do you hear people saying that The Simpsons changed their lives, even though it is a long-running franchise. And you don't see people getting teared up as they remember the first time they saw Terminator, even though that franchise hasn't quit since the early 1980s. Why does Star Trek stay with people as a source of personal inspiration?I can't speak for everyone, but I will offer a personal confession. I grew up without a television set in my house, so I was never exposed to the original Star Trek series except through the movies. Which I saw, and liked, but they didn't deliver any soul-stirring moments of revelation. But then I started watching Star Trek: The Next Generation with a group of friends right after college. It was the third season, when things really got good on the show, and I was drawn in absolutely. Advertisement It was a tough time for me when I started following the adventures of Picard and crew. I had just begun a really difficult course of study in graduate school, and I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to be doing with my life. I'd always had a rocky relationship with my family, to put it mildly, and I'd finally had the nerve to kick them out of my life for good. So I was trying to deal with those giant questions in life, like "Who am I?" and "What is my quest?" Most especially, I was trying to find friends who would treat me better than my family had.I guess I was looking for models of community, and that's why Star Trek: The Next Generation lodged itself so deeply in my heart. I wanted to believe in a world where people who weren't family cared for each other, the way the Enterprise crew did. I wanted to think that the future would bring me adventures that weren't always just about smashing things up, but sometimes dealt with rather bookish topics like ethics and geopolitics. I'm a little embarrassed to admit how closely I studied the behavior of the crew and tried to imitate them in my new life as a grownup. I loved how they were very professional and rational, despite their strong emotional ties. When they were upset, the answer was always "do the work" or "solve the problem," not "mope endlessly." I can't tell you how many times I've told myself "do the work" when all I wanted to do was cry. And it's always helped me get through tough things.I did find a few friends through Star Trek. One of my best friends for many years was a major Trek fan whom I met the year I discovered TNG. But it wasn't like I found a fan community who became my new family. It was more that Star Trek helped me imagine how I wanted my friendships to be, and then I found those friends in the usual places: In school, at work, at my volunteer job, or randomly at a show. Sponsored Star Trek: TNG is the reason I bought my first television set. It's also the reason I keep doing difficult things, even when the odds seem stacked against me.So yeah, I get it when people freak out over how Abrams changed Star Trek - he's messing with a story that helped them through difficulties, or just kept them from getting too bored. Advertisement At the same time, I think we all know that stories exist in a specific time and place. I'm not sure that Star Trek: TNG would capture my heart in the same way if I were to see it now for the first time. And even if Abrams were to mangle my TNG canon the way he did with the original series, I don't think it would be life-shattering. Why? Because there would always be the original TNG, the one I saw twenty years ago that changed my life. Even if Abrams or whomever decides that his Picard likes disco and Data should marry a gynoid.The fact is, stories are meant to be retold. You may like them less in the retelling, or you may suddenly like them more (hence the phenomenon of rebooted Battlestar Galactica). But nobody can take away the stories that changed your life. Those are always going to be yours, untouched, until the space worms nibble your ganglia. They will keep inspiring you, and keep being meaningful. Hopefully, new stories will come along that mean something to you later in life, or that spur you to action in a way you never expected.I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's a difference between personal stories and public stories. Star Trek is a public story that belongs to the world, for better or worse. (OK let's not get into a copyright discussion right now - you know what I mean.) You can't control what happens to a public story. You can't stop slash fiction pervs like me from writing dirty stories about Spock, and you can't stop nerds like JJ Abrams, Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman from blowing up Vulcan. Advertisement But then there's your personal Star Trek, the story that matters to you. For me, Star Trek: TNG is always going to be a personal story about finding community and solving problems even when it hurts. This, I think, is what powers the fandom of Star Trek. It's a rich enough public story that it can spawn zillions of personal stories, all very real. Fandom is made in personal byways off the public tale, in the strange little alleys the story builds in its viewers' minds.And ultimately that's why I have no fear that Star Trek will get retold, often badly. What matters most is the personal story, which lives safely in my brain, far beyond the reach of Abrams and his reboot crew.Reply136 repliesLeave a reply

Sacha Weis decided she wanted to lose weight and get in better shape.
So, the 35-year-old woman signed up for a fitness class through Colorado Northwestern Community College.
Three months later, Weis is 20 pounds lighter, and her waist is 4 inches smaller. She dropped from a size 14 to a size 10. "I just feel so much better," Weis said. "I got back into my skinny jeans."
Thirty-one percent of people are expected to make fitness resolutions for 2006, according to a projection study by myGoals.com.
The key to reaching these goals is making realistic objectives and easing into a workout routine, said Tammy Workman, manager of Trapper Fitness Center. "Don't set your expectations too high," she said. "Keep them reasonable."
Each January, Workman sees a dramatic increase in membership numbers, she said. Within a few months, gym attendance drops again.
Most people lose their resolve because they get discouraged easily, Workman said. They need to set a plan, try it for three months, then reevaluate it, she said.
Workman also teaches weight-training classes through the community college, and Weis said the course was a good motivator. "It was difficult in the beginning, but now I love it," Weis said.
Weis started the semester unable to complete 10 minutes on the cross-trainer machine. Now, she can do 50-minute sets.
Workman said building up from a reasonable starting point is critical to successfully reaching a fitness goal.
Because scales can be deceiving, she urges people to not focus only on weight. "A lot of people are just fixated on the scale," she said. People may gain weight when they work out because muscle weighs more than fat.
Body fat indexes and measurements are more accurate indicators of success, Workman said. A woman's body fat should be between 18 and 25 percent, and a man should have 8 to 15 percent, she said.
"It's huge when you can see all of them change -- the inches, scale and body fat," Workman said.
Caloric intake is another important part of the formula, she said. Exercising and watching food go together to make a fitness routine effective. "It's part of science," Workman said. "If you're going to intake a lot, you've got to output the same amount you're putting into your mouth."

The Dallas PD's New T3: Not As Intimidating As It Sounds
Sarah Palin's visit last Friday drew nearly about as many fans as protesters to the Fairmont downtown, and it was a charged atmosphere. Slogans were hurled across the barricades and signs were thrust high into the air -- but thankfully, with the Dallas Police Department and its sweet new tricycle, violence was averted.
That's right, the peace-keeping arsenal deployed to the Fairmont last week included Dallas' latest weapon of justice, the T3.
Now, it may not exactly be a RoboCop solution, or even a Johnny Number Five, but when this baby tops out at 25 mph, you'd better watch out. Seriously, get out of the way. The officer we spoke to at the Palin demonstration said he has a hell of a time controlling the thing at high speeds -- the city just bought two T3's, he said, but someone already wrecked the other one.
Which is no problem, because with the awesome power of the T3, riding high on three wheels of fury, you don't need a wingman. This may well be the crime solution Dallas has been waiting for -- and all with zero emissions, too, according to the manufacturer.
If you haven't seen them out on the streets, you will soon (just as soon as the other one's up and running again) -- and to tide you over until then, here's a look at these babies in action. Incidentally, a model number like this is just crying out for a nickname -- the "T3 Destroyer," maybe, or the "Screw You, Segway." It's only a matter of time. --Patrick Michels

Looking For A New Dirt Bike
Well my KLR650 is a little too big for the tight and twisty as well as me being too young to want to go that slow. So I am looking to get recommendations for a dual sport and trails bike. I am 6'-1" and about 300 lbs. I have been looking at the XR650R. I have also kicked around the WR450 and a CRF450X. My reservations about the 450X is that it is going to be too light to be stable on the road with a 100 mile commute. Any other recommendations or advise?
Sponsored Links | |||
March 21st, 2012, 10:13 AM | #2 |
I had an XR650R for several months last year. Great bike on road. It was a little heavy for the trails, but not bad. A guy your size will have no problem throwing it around. It will be a big difference from your KLR as the XR was made as a dirtbike.
For the XR, get a case saver from Xrs only. Be prepared to make multiple phone calls to them to get the part. I ordered it online and had to call them 4 times before they finally shipped it. They were the only company that made a good case saver for the bike. Also install an oil sight tube on the frame. The bikes are notorious for burning a little bit of oil. If you let the oil level drop too low, your motor will be a time bomb. Don't let that steer you away from the bike though, they are blast to ride and have gobs of power. You will definitely want to uncork it to unleash the full potential. If you're looking to regear the bike or need mew sprockets, check out ironman sprockets http://www.dirttricks.com/ordering_sprockets.htm. They are kind of pricey, but everyone on advrider says they are the only sprocket set you will have to buy. |
March 21st, 2012, 07:11 PM | #4 |
If you want another bike more for the dirt, I would buy a wr450.I have always been a yamaha guy,and love my wr250f.It's not comfortable on the street,but a blast to ride.Have you thought about a suzuki drz400? They are a little more nimble then your bike,but still decent on the street.
The big honda is better then your klr for the dirt,pretty streatable,and it's a honda should be fine but I dont know if it's far enough from what you have. If money is no problem,go to your nearest ktm dealer and find the best match for your needs. |

The KLR is an extremely good dual sport and is a very reliable bike. It is just too heavy weighing in at around 390 dry and with six gallons of fuel above the frame, the ground clearance from the pegs is low. The XR is over 100 lbs lighter dry at 277Lbs. I have thought about the DRZ line and need to research them a little more.
When I mentioned trail I should have specified the single track MCCCT. My reservations with a KTM are price and the limited dealer network with only 12 showing in Michigan. |

I think the wr250r is about like a klx 250,nice bike for getting around,a little weak in the power and suspension.The wr250r has a totally different motor then the wr250f,it's tamer,but should need almost no maintence.

You're the last person I would rely on for a honest opinion about any business. You probably think it is a joke because the owners are Austrian and don't put up with loudmouthed bullshitters.

ktm exc line, 500 or 530 if you want a good dirt bike that is still going to be good commuting. drz400s is a good dual sport also. If you can swing two bikes keep the big klr and get a true offroad bike for the trails. xc,xcw,wr,crfx

hey scooter..i was a rep for 3 years so i have been to every dealership in mi and ohio.so i have a honest opinion on them.i also live up north,dealt with them,worked at a dealer up north,tried to do dealer trades with them,and raced at kingsley just south of there. the only bullshit that i talk is about dumb asses like you that hang on a 4x4 site,talk shit to people all day,tell everyone how smart you are and you dont even own a 4x4.(or have evr really wheeled)why the fukc are you even here? so you can come in this section and act like you know something about dirt bikes also..because you have 2 old ass bikes that you cruise through the single track with..your the man!!

hoo dat. wat.
Just because I don't have some buggy-thing or call myself "Team Asspounder" (clever, BTW) doesn't mean I'm not cool too. Actually, I used to wheel, and in some pretty sweet places. I think the biggest difference is I used skill to get over obstacles and you use the accelerator pedal. I know a bit about dirt bikes, and a whole lot of other things that will always be out of reach of your comprehension. I will concede that you do excel in living the party life we all wanted to when we were in highschool, and at all things loud and obnoxious. AND, I'll have you know, my bike is AWESOME and a 2004!!!!!1!1!11 That's not old, Baby, that's "seasoned"! Oh, wait you know Travis Pastrana.

by: Santiago Zapata / Slash
Version 1.2: May 13 2006
If you work hard enough, you may get your engine to an eventual finished state, and you will be confronted with the difficulties of making an actual game; this includes creating an adequate setting or plot, deciding on the rules of the world and the actual data for the beings and item definitions.
The first approach for these definitions is to first program the different game interactions, and then balance the mechanics via trial and error; while this has been good enough for most games out there, in this document I present this simple way, which may be well suit for a kind of game with strong rules and consistency.
First Step
The first step is crucial to the method, and consists on stating clearly the attributes for both items, beings and other entities that will affect the execution of a certain interaction. This must be done individually for each action you plan to implement, posibly looking forward to share attributes in different actions to keep the list handable.
For example, for the implementation of a simple 'Combat' Action, you may decide that your variables to calculate the 'Strength of the blow' are:
- The 'strength' of the performer
- The 'proficiency' with the given weapon kind
- The 'strength' of the weapon
You will also need to calculate the chance for the blow to fail, and state the following variables:
- The dexterity of the enemy
- The weight of the enemy
- The evade bonus of the enemy, based on his equipped accesories
Finally you will need some sort of health, so that the final effect of the blow is perceived.
Second Step
The second step is to draw a scale and locate the different actors types of your world on it, depending on the setting you have created.
For this example first variable (Strength of the performer) you could come up with something like this:
Strength of the performer |
Performer | |
d | dog |
@ | human |
c | cow |
b | bull |
D | Dragon |
My recommendation is to keep the list small, containing only the most differenciable kind of beings, and try not to have 'holes' in your scale in order to consider all the extreme cases..
Repeatinf this for the rest of your variables, using your subjetive opinion on the different entities, we get:
Profficience with weapon |
Weapon Strength |
Weapon | |
Le | Leather Whip |
Co | Cooper Sword |
St | Steel Axe |
Ir | Iron Sword |
Go | Golden Halberd |
Ad | Adamantium Dagger |
Third Step
The third step consists on making a scale for the final possible values for the variable we are calculating. In this example, that would be the 'Strength of the blow'
Damage |
Gravity | |
No | No damage |
De | Deprecable damage |
Tr | Treatable damage |
Gr | Grievous damage |
Ar | 'Urgent Attention Required' damage |
Cr | Critical Damage |
Fourth Step
The fourth step is to ennounce different axioms from the 'reality' you crafted for the game; these axioms are based in the subjetive values on the scales you have created.
For example:
- If a 'human' with 'mid battle proficience' slashes with a 'steel sword', he will cause 'Treatable Damage'
- If a 'bull' with 'low battle proficience' hits with a 'iron sword', he will cause 'Grievous Damage'
You will need axioms for the extreme cases
- If a 'dragon' with 'high battle proficience' hits with a 'cooper sword', he will cause 'Critical Damage'
- If a 'dog' with 'mid battle proficience' slashes with a 'leather whip', he will cause 'No damage'
Mapping this to a table we obtain:
Strength | Profficience | Item Strength | Damage |
6 | 6 | 6 | 4 |
8 | 3 | 8 | 6 |
10 | 10 | 3 | 10 |
3 | 6 | 2 | 0 |
You must balance the number of axioms you ennounce, as the final equation will be more accurate if you have any axioms, but you risk on failing into inconsistences from your subjective point of view, as we will see later.
Now watching the table we see that Str and Prof have an higher weight in the resulting damage. We can do two things here:
- Make only Str and Prof relevant for an intermediate 'Damage' calculation, and then apply the Item Strength as a bonus factor for the final 'Strength of the Blow' value.
- Proceed assigning a higher weight to Str and Prof into the 'Strength of the Blow' calculation.
Let's decide for the first option, and for the sake of simplicity calculate a damageIndex as an average for Str and Prof
Damage Index | Damage |
6 | 4 |
5.5 | 6 |
10 | 10 |
4.5 | 0 |
Here we see an inconsistent result: a damage index of 6 is causing less damage than one of 5.5? For some variables this may be a desired result, but this is not the case, as we expect the damage to be in direct proportion with the index.
In this case this is happening because of the simple average operation we used, as Str has more weigth than Prof for the damage. We then calculate a weigthed average, using ((Str*2)+prof)/3
Damage Index | Damage |
6 | 4 |
6.333 | 6 |
4 | 0 |
10 | 10 |
Ok, this looks more like it.
Fifth Step
The fifth step is to calculate a polynomial tendence of an appropiate degree for these variables. We observe the tendence line and analyze its consistency; this means no "zigzags" (relative maximums or minimums) for most variables if not all of them, unless your game shows some kind of surrealism on its rules.
If the results are not satisfactory, analyze the damageIndex calculus further, check your axioms for consistence or change them for others with a wider scope.
For this example we get the quadratic regression
damage = -0,1747(damageIndex^2) + 4,1268(damageIndex) - 13,778
Let's not forget about the itemStrength variable. We may assign it as a bonus as show in this scale:
Item Strength | |||||||||||
% Bonus | Le 110% |
150% |
St 200% |
Cr 400% |
Item Strength | 1 | 3 | 6 | 10 |
Using a quadratic regression, we get
bonus = -0,0001(IStr^2) + 0,0973(IStr) - 7,7779
And then, our final results:
damageIndex = ((Str*2)+prof)/3; damage = -0,1747(damageIndex^2) + 4,1268(damageIndex) - 13,778bonus = -0,0001(IStr^2) + 0,0973(IStr) - 7,7779 finalDamage = damage * (bonus/100)
So, what is the use for this method on data entry?
After you get consistent results using your "test" beings and items, you may proceed to locate your collection of entities into the scales, using your subjective opinion.
Strength of the performer |
Performer | |
d | dog |
@ | human |
c | cow |
b | bull |
D | Dragon |
i | imp |
g | goblin |
o | orc |
f | fairy |
s | slime |
T | Troll |
S | ice Snake |
W | Wyrm |
A | Angel |
r | rattlesnake |
w | wolf |
This way, by assigning a position for each entity on the scales, you will get consistent results.
There are some variables that you may need to scale down before attempting to calculate the index to get simpler equations. For example, if you are calculating the spaces that an item will be pushed
after being kicked, you will need to have in mind the weight of the object, which may not be in the same proportion of the kicker strength.
Also, for some results you will have to invert the variables, for example, objects with less weight fly more spaces when kicked.

Nissan has announced that it is to display a new city-themed electric vehicle concept at the Paris Motor Show next month.
The Japanese automaker, which will be one of the first to arrive on the global market with a production electric vehicle when the LEAF goes on sale later this year, says that the vehicle is an insight into how it may expand its portfolio of EVs in the future.
Named Townpod, the concept is aimed at a "future generation of home-based, innovative entrepreneurs who are tech savvy."
Nissan says that the concept combines eye-catching design with a spacious and practical interior, and although it's not much, the automaker has released an image of one of the vehicle's futuristic lights to prove the point.
Given Nissan's advanced market lead with electric vehicles, the Townpod is likely to draw considerable attention at the show - the Nissan LEAF will be on show next to it ahead of the start of European deliveries earlier next year.
The automaker will also display the new Nissan Micra and the Nissan Juke, along with the debut of significant upgrades to the firm's SUV, the Nissan X-TRAIL.
The Townpod will join other electric vehicle concepts from Mercedes-Benz, which is reported to be readying a debut of a limited-edition electric A-Class and Kia, which will debut its Pop city car.

This tutorial explains how to create a 4-Axis Rotary feature.
The BobCAD part file for this tutorial is available for download at: http://www.bobcad.com/helpfiles. If you are connected to the Internet, you can click the link provided to download and save the 4 Axis Rotary Example 1.bbcd part file. In the example file provided, the Milling Stock and Machine Setup are already defined for the part. The program is simulated using the BC 4x Mill, which is a 4 axis machine with an A-axis rotary.
Step 1. To insert a 4 Axis Rotary feature, in the Data-CAM Tree Manager, click the CAM Tree tab.
Step 2. Next to Milling Stock, click to expand the tree.
Step 3. Right-click Machine Setup, and click Mill 4 Axis Rotary. The 4 Axis Wizard dialog box is displayed.
Step 1. In the Geometry Selection dialog box, click Select Geometry, and select the part geometry for the feature. For this example, select the entire part by clicking and dragging a window around the part. The geometry changes to the selection color to show that it is selected.
Step 2. To confirm the geometry selection, click (OK). The 4 Axis Wizard dialog box is displayed.
Step 3. Click Next>> to finish the Geometry Selection dialog box and begin editing the feature parameters.
Step 4. In the Feature 4 Axis Rotary dialog box, notice that the Clearance Plane has been automatically set using the value defined earlier in the Machine Setup dialog box. (The Machine Setup was previously defined in the provided example file.) The Rapid Plane value is also set to this value by default. In the Rapid Plane box, type 0.500.
Step 5. In the Feed Plane box, type 0.250.
Step 6. Notice that the Top of Part is automatically set based on the selected geometry and machining origin.
Step 7. Click Next>> to open the Posting dialog box. The Work Offset value is also automatically set to the value defined in the Machine Setup dialog box. Click Next>> to open the Rough dialog box.
Step 1. In the Tool Data group, clear the System Tool check box.
Step 2. Set the Diameter to 0.500, the Flute Length to 3.000, the Corner Radius to 0.250, and the Overall Length to 5.000.
Step 3. To assign a tool holder to the tool for the feature, click Assign Tool Holder.
Step 4. In the Milling Tool Holder Library, in the CAT 40 Holder list, click 0.5 inch I.D. Arbor CAT 40. The row of the selected arbor changes color to show that it is selected.
Step 5. To confirm the selection and assign the selected holder, click OK.
Step 6. To finish the tool definition and go to the Patterns dialog box, click Next>>.
Step 1. In the Cut Pattern group, to define one-way cutting, select Zig.
Step 2. Next to Style, select Around.
IMPORTANT: To create proper toolpaths with the Rotary feature, you must define the Direction and Base Point for the rotational axis of the part. The values used to set the Base Point are based on where the Machine Setup (machining origin) is located in reference to the center of rotation for the part. If you place the machining origin in-line with the rotary axis, then the Base Point values are set to zero. Placing the machining origin on the rotational axis of the part means there is no difference to report between the machining origin and the rotary axis. In this scenario, although the Base Point values are zero, the Direction of the rotary axis must still be properly defined.
Step 3. The Rotary Axis must be defined for the part. To set the direction of the rotary axis, in the Rotary Axis group, select X Axis. Because the machining origin was moved away from the center of rotation, this difference must be defined using the Base Point parameter. The following image shows the distance that is used to set the base point. This is the distance from (1) the Machine Setup (machining origin) to (2) the center of rotation. (You can click the Machine Setup item in the CAM Tree to view the Machine Setup, or machining origin.)
Step 4. The only difference to report for this example is along the Z-axis. The radius of the part (and stock) is 3.2679 inches. In the Base Point group, in the Z-box, type -3.2679.
Step 5. In the Cut Direction group, select Clockwise.
Step 6. To finish the Patterns dialog box, click Next>>.
Step 1. In the Finish group, in the Stepover box, type 0.100.
Step 2. To leave material for finishing, in the Allowance XYZ box, type 0.050.
Step 3. To calculate the toolpath, click Compute.
Step 4. Notice that a single toolpath pass is created for the entire length of the part. The next step is to edit the feature and use the Along Rotary Axis options to limit the area of the part that is cut.
Step 1. When you computed the toolpath, the Feature 4Ax-Rotary was added to the CAM Tree. To edit the feature, in the CAM Tree, right-click 4Ax-Rotary, and click Edit.
Step 2. On the left side of the dialog box, click Parameters.
Step 3. In the Along Rotary Axis group, select the End check box, and type 4.00. The toolpath now ends 4 inches from the Machine Setup instead of cutting the entire part. (You can also limit the toolpath by changing the Start parameter to define where the toolpath starts in relation to the Machine Setup, along the defined Rotary Axis Direction.)
TIP: You can use the Along Rotary Axis parameters Start and End, to define where the toolpath starts and ends. (By default, the Rotary feature creates the toolpath by cutting in the positive direction along the selected rotary axis. For example, with a A-axis rotary (rotation around the X-axis) the toolpath is from left to right.)
Step 4. To add the changes and view the results, click Compute.
Step 1. The next step is to add multiple passes to the feature. Edit the feature, and on the left side of the dialog box, click Parameters.
Step 2. In the Multiple Passes group, select the Multiple Passes check box to enable the Roughing Passes and Finishing Passes groups.
Step 3. In the Roughing Passes group, in the Numbers box, type 2.00, and in the Spacing box, type 0.250.
Step 4. Next to Sort By, select Passes. This causes the feature to cut each pass before moving on to the next pass. In other words, this cuts the entire part to one depth before moving on to the next depth.
Step 5. To view the results, click Compute. The toolpath now contains two passes instead of the single pass created earlier. Notice that the multiple passes start from the surface and not the top of the part.
Before simulating the program, there is one last change to make. You can see in the previous step that the tool is plunging, at rapid rate, into one of the deepest areas of the part geometry. The next steps cause the tool to plunge into a much more shallow area of the part.
Step 1. Edit the feature, and click Patterns.
Step 2. In the Angular Start/End group, select the Cut Interval option.
Step 3. In the Angle Start box, type -135.
Step 4. In the Angle End box, type 225.
Step 5. To add the changes and view the result, click Compute. The result is shown next.
Step 1. To view the part being cut, in the Modules menu, click Mill Simulation. To learn more about using simulation, view the Getting Started with Simulation help topic.
Step 2. For this example, it is important to understand the Work Offset parameter that was previously defined in the Machine Setup dialog box. To open the Machine Setup dialog box, in the CAM Tree, right-click Machine Setup, and click Edit.
Step 3. In the Machine Setup dialog box, click Work Offset. Notice the values in the Work Offset dialog box. These values represent the distance from the machine zero to the part zero (that is defined by the Machine Setup). For this example, this is from the center of the face of the rotary table to the machining origin that is on the top of the cylindrical stock.
Step 4. Again, when the machining origin is not the same as the machine zero, you must define the difference between these two coordinate systems using the Work Offset dialog box. This is necessary to create proper machine simulation.
This concludes the tutorial. To learn about any parameters not explained in this tutorial, view the 4 Axis Rotary feature help topic.

Sutton stays ahead
Mandy Sutton, who shot a fine 63 in the opening round, added a 68 for a seven-under-par 131 to keep the lead after the second round of the 54- hole Estoril Open in Portugal yesterday. Sutton, 33, from Worksop, who gave up a banking career to play golf six years ago, has won only pounds 7,045 in her first two years on the American Express Tour. But she will have a pounds 13,500 winner's jackpot in her sights when she starts out in the final round today one stroke clear of Denmark's Karina Orum. Lancashire's Lora Fairclough is one stroke further behind alongside Marie-Therese Pistolet from France.

Trent and Mara have enough chemistry to fuel a rocket ship.... Teasing Trent is hot, hot, hot!
A Top 100 Kindle Romance Bestseller and a Top 100 Kindle Erotica Bestseller
The only thing Trent's best friend has ever asked of him is to keep an eye on his twin sister while he's deployed. Keeping her company on her birthday shouldn't be too hard. He just has to remember the promise he made to himself in college to keep his hands off her.
Which is getting harder and harder by the day.
Ever since Mara walked into her brother's dorm room freshman year and came face to face with a shirtless Trent, she's known he was The One. He's been right there with her twin brother as her biggest supporter or shoulder to cry on, whichever she needs most. The problem?
Trent has no idea how she feels.
Well, it's her first birthday without her twin and Trent's coming over to keep her company. It's the perfect time to tease him a little. A skimpy yoga outfit and a few glasses of wine later, she plans to finally have Trent exactly where she wants him: in her bed, for as long as she can keep him there.
If Mara has her way, she'll get a whole lot more for her birthday than a Hallmark card.

This book was too short. I don't understand the purpose of it publication. I think it was not worth the money. It was like a tease. It got you all ready for what?
Purchased this prior as a trial before spending more on a 'real' book by same author. There is an attempt at erotica with the lame pretense of corny storyline. I felt I were watching a cheap porn movie!
Will not be reading additional books by this author.
"Good but short"
This was good but very short and I am left feeling I'm not really sure what the point of this was?
5 stars - Outstanding in its own right! 4 stars - Really Great & Entertaining! 3 stars - A decent, well spent listen. 2 stars - OK, but could have skipped this one. 1 stars - I'm just being nice here.
"Man ... Sexy voice with Sexy story!"
I loved Andrew Heyl's narration on Teasing Trent. It is rare to find that husky, naturally sexy voice that is also animated in a male. I personally prefer female narrations on romance novels, but Andrew was magnificent. He was articulate, great inflection - he got into the story deep and drew out the main characters perfectly. Don't believe the one stars on this guy. He is hot in this erotica novel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"thoroughly disappointed"
if you like very and I mean VERY short stories you would probably like it
yes . cant always jusge a book by it's cover
he is good i just pefer women narrators
disappointment just because of the shortness


text: Wanna Sniff Some Cheese Made From Human Microbes?Kelly Faircloth11/25/13 7:40pmFiled to: stinky cheesemicrobiologysciencecheesefood743EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkFeeling a little peckish? Well, you won't after reading this. NPR reports that UCLA microbiologist Christina Agapakis and artist Sissel Tolaas have teamed up "to create cheese using the microbes that grow on their skin." We understand if you need a minute.AdvertisementSee, what you really need to make cheese is milk, the bacteria Lactobacillus (to make it go bad) and yeast (to age the resulting clumps and give it a particular taste). But it turns out you could just as easily collect the necessary bacteria and yeast from our own bodies. So the pair harvested some from sources including the bellybutton of food writer Michael Pollan and someone else's feet, then got cooking. The resulting cheese is currently on display at Dublin's Trinity College, where visitors can't taste the cheese, but they can give it a good sniff. NPR reports: Advertisement"People were really nervous and uncomfortable, and kind of making these grossed out faces," Agapakis says about visitors to her exhibit. "Then they smell the cheese, and they'll realize that it just smells like a normal cheese."But when you put it like that, "normal cheese" starts to sound pretty relative. NPR says that part of the point of the project is to ask why we're cool with the bacteria in cheese, but not the bacteria on our bodies. But now I'm just considering swearing off cheese entirely, forever. An Omnivore's Dilemma: Would You Eat Michael Pollan Microbe Cheese?
