The g-meter
is a self-contained accelerometer and display unit mounted on panel
F7. It senses linear acceleration along the Z axis (normal) of the
vehicle. A mass weight in the unit is supported vertically by two
guide rods and is constrained by a constant-rate helical spring.
The inertial force of the mass is proportional to the inertial force
of the vehicle and, hence, to the input acceleration, under conditions
of constant acceleration. Displacement of the mass is translated
to pointer displacement through a rack-and-pinion gear train whose
output is linear with input acceleration. The display indicates
acceleration from minus 2 g's to plus 4 g's. The g-meter requires
no power and has no software interface. Like all the dedicated displays,
it has an external variable incandescent lamp.

25. Rockin' The Suburbs – Ben Folds (2001)
Tag Archives: Kanye West
Top 25 Albums of the 2000s
make up some music.
Filed under Music
the grammys.
disclaimer: as my roommates and i do not pay for or have access to cable television, or any television for that matter, i was not able to watch the grammys. everything i know of last night's award show is hearsay from the internet.
let's start with the positive. or the dark cloud with a silver lining. quite a back story here. chris brown and rihanna were both scheduled to perform at the grammys. before the awards show, chris brown turned himself into the police for reports of alleged assault, so he pulls out of the show. rihanna, for reasons unknown, also pulls out of the show. there is a lot of speculation as to whether rihanna is the victim of the alleged assault. regardless, instead of having their performances, the grammys threw together one of my dream-come-true performances.
let's stay together – jt and al green.
notice it's only great, not super great. it's a cool line-up of old/new musicians, but it's sort of a ho-hum performance with nothing really special to write home about. plus it's really short.
worst juxtaposition of artists performance: burnin' up/superstition – stevie wonder and the jonas brothers.
i'm sorry, did you just say the jonas brothers? yeah, so they might be the new face of pop music, but come on. these guys in no way have the chops to be put next to stevie wonder, living legend of r&b, soul, pop, jazz, funk, or whatever other genre you could attach to him. the man is an incredible artist, and he is stuck playing "burnin' up" alongside two crappy guitarists and some iffy vocalists. what happens to nick, who is supposed to be the good singer in the group, when he first starts his verse of superstition? and kevin and nick both playing guitar…it's a bummer to me that in our culture, showmanship is favored over actual talent. you might not be able to play your instrument very well, but if you are a natural born performer, than you will probably be famous. shame. and joe needs to stop trying to growl when he sings. it's not happening buddy.
hip-hop performance of the night: swagger like us – m.i.a., jay-z, kanye, t.i., lil wayne
this is ok. m.i.a. is incredibly fat. jay-z clearly has the most class of any of them. kanye, since when did mullets become fashionable again? t.i. kind of just sucks. and lil wayne, my goodness i do not understand what the appeal of this guy is. he won some grammys last night, thank goodness he didn't win the big one, album of the year. granted i haven't heard his universally-hailed album tha carter III, but what i have heard is just bad. awful beats, like painful to listen to. i do not get why he is so freakin' popular.
so those were the performances i saw. there was one little "bombshell" dropped by some presenters. blink-182 is reforming. an ellipse is really the only way i can communicate my emotion for news. blink sucks. they are basically responsible for making that crappy pop-punk garbage that infests the radio nowadays phenomenally popular. but i mean come on, who doesn't love a band who releases albums such as enema of the state and take off your pants and jacket? and honestly, who can forget their cameo (the mere fact that it's a cameo just makes me fandom soar) in the classic coming-of-age movie american pie? HORRIBLE. all the way around they are a terrible band who should not make any more music or try to be relevant at all. in any way.
ok as far the winners of the grammy awards go, i was generally fine with it, with a few exceptions.
1. jennifer hudson won for best r&b album. without a doubt, this should've gone to al green for lay it down, by far the BEST r&b, and nearly the best of any genre, album released in 2008.
2. raising sand and songs from it won record of the year, album of the year, and best pop collaboration with vocals, among other awards. now i get that this is a really good album. i've listened to it, and it was ok. i didn't fall in love with it. it's got a very distinct sound that i am surprised has garnered so much acclaim. but record AND album of the year? no way, especially when you look at both of those lists: coldplay, adele, radiohead. there was so much good music that probably should've won. and best pop collaboration with vocals should've absolutely gone to alicia keys and john mayer for lesson learned. i think i've written about this song before, how it is one of the most gorgeous pieces of music i've ever heard in my life. robert plant and alison krauss sound good together, but alicia and john KILLED it with that song. such a bummer. my biggest beef with raising sand winning so much, and are you ready for the bombshell here? IT WASN'T EVEN RELEASED IN 2008! it was released october 2007! and it won the grammy for best pop collaboration with vocals LAST YEAR! it's ridiculous. how is that even allowed? upsetting.
while i was displeased with those awards, i was EXTREMELY pleased when i found out daft punk had won for best dance recording AND best electronic/dance album, with around the world / harder, better, faster, stronger and alive 2007, respectively. SO deserving. that album is awesome.
so all in all, a pretty good show (i think, since i didn't really watch it). let's hope the oscars aren't any worse.

808s and heartbreak.
so it's been a little more than a week since kanye west released his latest, 808s and heartbreak. granted, i didn't have loads of time over break to digest it, but i feel at least introduced to the album now. here are my initial thoughts.
actually i want to start by saying that i am excluding pinocchio story from any review i do of this album. that song is so terrible and i'm so confused as to why kanye tacked it on the end. kanye might've said "scrotum" in graduation's closer, big brother, but that tune is far and away better than pinocchio story. so i'm not even counting that as part of the album. moving on.
right off, i knew it was gonna be different. i did my very best not to go into it thinking it was "kanye's fourth album". and it's not at all. the whole thing feels like a side project rather than an album in the "kanye west" discography. obviously as time goes on, as his listeners absorb this album and he releases more, we will find where it fits with the rest of his albums. but right now, a week after it came out, it doesn't feel like it fits anywhere with his previous three records. he sings and makes use of the auto-tune through the whole thing. no real rapping here, at least by kanye. this isn't really a bad thing though, at least it doesn't take away from the album. kanye isn't a good singer (if you've ever heard him live…egh.) but the auto-tune corrects his off pitches and gives him a robotic element that is pretty cool. very importantly though, he doesn't overdue the robot voice like t-pain, so i haven't gotten sick of that.
the thing right away that was hard for me to get around and i'm still trying to get used to is the music. talk about veering away from what worked for him. kanye was one of the kings of sampling and organic, original hip-hop beats. this is so far away from that. he used a drum programming machine, the roland tr-808, for most of the beats, and instead of actually sounding like a real drum kit, a lot of the foundational beats of this album sound really computery. still, not necessarily a bad thing, but what he layers on top is what i didn't warm up to right away. there's more piano here than his previous work, which isn't bad, but a lot of it is just really repetitive. and that's where i think i go off track with this record. there is so little variation here. almost all the songs are just one chord progression with little difference between the chorus and verses. there isn't enough that draws me in. lots of reviews i've read are saying things like this is a bold move from his previous work and it's a really new original thing for him to do. i'd say it's a bold move, but i wouldn't say it's original. so many of the songs sound like what everybody else is doing right now. with a few exceptions, this could've been an album from t-pain or akon. it's new in terms of kanye's catalogue, but in terms of popular music right now? not at all. heartless is such a bore to listen to for me because not only it is super repetitive, it sounds like a thousand other people's songs. same with robocop (especially robocop) and see you in my nightmare. amazing sounds like it was made 100% by timbaland. street lights sounds like a postal service tune with a black guy singing. it just didn't sound new to me, didn't seem fresh.
i could go through song by song and pick out things i don't like, but i don't really want to do that. i think my biggest critique is that this doesn't seem that new to me. i feel like i've heard songs like this before from other artists of whom i'm not a huge fan. i was hoping for something totally off the wall in terms of not only kanye's music but music in general, not something inspired in any way by lil wayne. there seems to be a lot of potential on this album, it's just not pushed as far as it could go. like love lockdown, it's an awesome song, whenever the african drums are getting pounded. but when they stop it's like are we even listening to a song anymore? this whole album is sparse and i think i was hoping for a little more.
i'm in kind of a rough place cause i don't want to bad talk this album a lot, i don't even want to go as far as to say i'm disappointed in it. cause i kind of knew this is how it was gonna be and this is how i was gonna respond to it. but after my first listen through, there wasn't a single song that i really wanted to go tell colleen about or made me jump around my room. there weren't any flashing lights or good life type tracks. this just isn't exactly my style of music. if this album had been released by anybody i probably wouldn't fall in love with it. kanye hasn't alienated me with this, he just released an album i'm not particularly crazy about.
least favorite track: see you in my nightmare feat. lil wayne
awful. all the way around. sorry, where the heck is the beat? there is nothing solid at all. and that synth. did kanye choose the "mosquito" setting on his keyboard? horrible sound. and lil wayne…man i am still confused where this guy came from and how he is so popular. i guess i never listen to the radio so i never, ever hear his songs, but i feel like he just popped up like 9 months ago and was suddenly the most popular rapper around. whatever, that's something for another blog. what is important is that his verse on this song is not good. this whole break-up theme, "see you in my nightmare" idea isn't good at all. i love break-up songs as much as the next guy, but if you're really gonna complain about your break-up, do it in a way that is engaging. this is not engaging. this is engaging (#4 for the best angry break-up song ever). it's just not an original concept.
favorite track: paranoid. this is my jam. my favorite for sure. super fun beat, great sing along chorus, the chords keep me guessing, it's just an all around awesome tune. thanks for this one 'ye.
p.s. give me another week and i will like this whole album more than i do now. i started writing this yesterday and listening to the record while finishing this up, i'm liking all the songs even more now than before. so this review only really applies to the first week of listening to the album for me.
this week will be the best in a long time. for many reasons, but very much because of music. here's what i'm talking about.
– 808s and heartbreak. remember when i wrote about my favorite artists releasing music? tomorrow is one of those days. kanye west is dropping his fourth studio album, and i'm all sorts of excited/nervous about it. excited cause it's kanye, nervous because he doesn't rap. we'll see. either way it's something to get amped for.
– tonight i stopped by the cedar falls public library to grab the hobbit (hopefully will have that finished by the end of the week) and i happened to glance at their cd collection, which last time i was there consisted of lots of classical, babyface's mtv unplugged, and timbaland presents: shock value. this time was much better. i found john mayer's where the light is and joss stone's introducing joss stone, two albums interlibrary loan said they couldn't find. super exciting. exciting because the joss stone album is executive produced by raphael saadiq, who is awesome, and joss has a great voice so they will be a great mix, and also exciting because i finally have a legitimate version of john mayer's cover of free fallin' (so incredible.) and also his first released version of in your atmosphere, one of my original favorite songs of his. and even though i've got tons and tons of live jm shows, whenever he releases anything legitimately recorded, i get excited. i'm listening to free fallin' right now and it sounds so so good. the guy sure knows how to record an album. so these two are super great.
– ok as i was writing this next paragraph, i realized that coldplay's new ep, prospekt's march, is actually being released tomorrow (monday) like kanye's album. which means it is 2:43 am and i could go to wal-mart right now and buy the ep if i wanted. holy cow. it's so late but man do i want to hear the ep. i just checked websites of wal-mart, target, and best buy, and target for sure has it the cheapest so i think i'm gonna wait until tomorrow to pick it up. anyway. the ep consists of 8 tracks, 6 new recordings, 2 redos, and i am really excited. over the last five months viva la vida has become possibly my favorite coldplay album, and hearing material that almost made it on the record is really exciting. it's gonna be great.
– saturday night. my fiance and i are seeing al green live. LIVE. a legend. some adults talk about how they saw frank sinatra, after saturday i get to say, for the rest of my life, that i saw al green perform. i am ecstatic. he is playing at an old theatre in downtown kansas city, a real place with a bar in the back and nice seats. we will probably sit and watch. maybe get a drink. it will be a magical night.
what a week. i can't wait to write more about all this music. in the meantime, here's this gem.
nobody sings melody variations like john mayer.

ARTESIA WELLS, TEXAS. Artesia Wells is on Interstate Highway 35 eleven miles south of Cotulla in western La Salle County. It takes its name from the artesian wells that once provided water for the residents of the area. The town, originally a water stop called Bart on the International-Great Northern Railroad, was one of several new settlements in the Winter Garden region when irrigation opened new land to farming in the early 1900s. A legal plat for Artesia Wells was filed in 1907. Farmers moved into the area, and the town grew slowly over the next thirty years. In 1909 a post office opened, and by 1915 the town also had a general store and a restaurant. By 1925 Artesia Wells had a school and by 1929 an estimated population of 100. In 1936 only fifty people lived there. In 1939 Artesia Wells had four businesses and a population of 125. After the end of World War II the settlement began a decline. In 1950 it reported two businesses and fifty residents. When I-35 was constructed through the town, many of the buildings were torn down or moved back to make room for the highway. By the early 1970s Artesia Wells had lost its school and had only thirty residents and one small store. In 1988 the town reported four businesses. In 1990 the population was thirty and in 2000 had grown to thirty-five.

I love all the vegetables that are so readily available during the summer! In fact, there are so many, I usually try to think of new ways to use them.
When I was growing up, my mom made these little fritters that were just like hushpuppies, except they had yellow squash in them. She called them Squashpuppies. They were made with a basic cornmeal batter with squash stirred in. Then she dropped them by spoonfuls into hot oil to fry. So good!
I wanted to mimic Mama's squashpuppies, but we aren't eating a lot of fried foods these days, so I decided to make them as muffins! These were awesome! Believe it or not, those 12 muffins have TWO CUPS of shredded yellow squash in them! You 'd never know it by the taste, but the moisture in the squash does make these muffins unbelievably moist!
Squash Puppy Muffins
- 2 boxes of Jiffy cornbread muffin mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup of milk
- 1/3 cup of sour cream
- 2 cups of shredded yellow squash
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with baking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together cornbread mix, eggs, milk, and sour cream. Add the squash and stir to combine. Use an ice cream scoop to make sure you get an even amount of batter into each cup.
Bake for 30 minutes – or until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into one of them comes out clean.
Well Duh #1: Jiffy is a sweet cornbread mix. If you'd rather use a cornbread that isn't sweet, there are mixes available – or you can just use your favorite cornbread recipe.
Well Duh #2: I used skim milk and light sour cream.
Well Duh #3: This would work great with zucchini, too! And the little green specks would show up and be so pretty!
I spread a little butter on each one. They were so good! My kids actually love vegetables, so I don't have to be sneaky about hiding veggies. If your tribe is a little more picky, this a great way to get more veggies into them. Honestly, if Elizabeth hadn't used a box grater to shred the squash, she would never have known the squash was in there!
I have also put a cup of squash or zucchini in my brownies and up to 2 cups in my meatloaf. Both of these vegetables take on other flavors well, so they can hide almost anywhere!
These muffins were a hit! I can't wait to make them again!

Eve: My farewell to Brave
I'm going to move on with my Eve career. This isn't some drama about someone being mean to me, I've loved my time in Brave.
In fact the story is that I've stayed so long.
In January some friends suggested I join them in Brave as my attempt to start up a corp in The Bastion failed, I just couldn't recruit people.
I joined but they promptly burned out.
Well no worries, my friend Smog890 is still here, I'll just hang in his corp. Smog promptly goes and gets a second job and, facing a 70 hour working week decides to cut Eve.
Well no worries, some old friends from Test have made a corp here - I should be fine in J3B.
And not only was I fine but I found myself Captain of our AT team.
But the exit from Fountain happened and J3B decided to move on so I had to find a new home.
Well no worries, after a brief crash landing in BNI, I joined Kite Co, a corp where many of my Tourney friends were based.
And then they left last month.
I love Brave, I've had a wonderful time here, thank you so much for taking me in and trusting me to take charge of some awesome things like fleets and AT etc. I've had a blast flying with you.
My long term plans are towards elite pvp, particularly an alliance with a more experienced AT team. Maybe explore some of this empire-building stuff, I like the idea of my own personal space fortress.
Something Lychton said once: people leave Brave but some part of them is always brave. I hope that will be true of me and in any event I'll always be happy to chat.
There's one unfinished piece of business, CCP still haven't issued the ship skin prizes we won in the AT. Nancy, just contact me on Skype or in-game when those show up please.

A Wee Bomb0 Comments Published by admin September 3rd, 2007 in Islam, Social Issues
I've been peripherally aware of the the two Muslim students stopped by deputy sheriffs in Goose Creek South Carolina with fireworks or pipe bombs or whatever kind of expecting that the case might collapse. It certainly sounded like it was headed that way after the FBI issued a very cautionary press release and CAIR called [...]

In a comment to his own post about al Qaeda recruitment policies Wretchard of The Belmont Club talks about the possibility that extreme Islam may eventually fracture into different sects if the history of religion is anything to go by.

The Red Mosque0 Comments Published by admin July 11th, 2007 in Islam, Media
Last night the best source I found for regular updates of the breaking story of the Pakistani military's attack on the Red Mosque was Metroblogging Pakistan. I followed a link from independent blogger Bill Roggio's article on the beginning of the military attack. Leading MSM sources were reporitng the same facts about the initial assault [...]
The Chaplain's Tale0 Comments Published by admin July 4th, 2007 in Iraq, Islam, Politics, Social Issues
Blackfive, one of the premier milbogs, has been reporting this story of Iraqi clergy meeting with US Military chaplains for a while. It may seem as noteworthy as a ecumenical picnic to many but Iraq is a place where religion and religious leaders are far more important that we in the West are accustomed to [...]
Eurabia and Delusions of Grandeur1 Comment Published by admin July 2nd, 2007 in Islam, Politics, Social Issues
The breadth and strength of European anti Semitism and anti Americanism surprises me sometimes. I can understand the Germans – America's actions were twice critical in their defeat. It wasn't until I read this talk by Bat Ye'Or that I realized I had failed to grasp the breadth and strength of the European vision for [...]

I have felt strongly since 9/11 that the jihadis are, despite their apparent devoutness, thoroughly modern men who have more in common with the fascists and Japanese militarists of the 40s than with the Muslims of the early caliphate they idolize. It was not until I read a thoroughgoing review of Japanese militarism in Japan's [...]
Impossible Anachronism0 Comments Published by admin May 21st, 2007 in Iraq, Islam, Social Issues
Max Boot published an email from a Lt. Colonel Miska here last week. What struck me was the time frame in which he saw the Iraq conflict. How long, you ask? I am on my second tour following a year in Tikrit from 2004-2005. A realistic goal is to have stabilized this region by the [...]
Understanding the Bushhitler0 Comments Published by admin May 18th, 2007 in Islam, Politics, Social Issues
If you have some difficulty, as I do, in seeing President Bush as being as dangerous and wrong as Hitler perhaps it is because of a failure to appreciate the world view that gives rise to this perception. I've heard it called folk or cultural Marxism, transnational progressivism, even multiculturalism. In his essay A Communism [...]

When someone asked me what I thought was going on with the Iran's seizure and release of the British sailors and marines I realized I didn't have any definite opinion. After thinking about it for a couple of days, and reading widely differing opinions about it I began to see it not in terms of [...]

One of the vocalists from austrian project Unique II - Sheila Fernandez is coming these days with a new tune.
On Top Of All it's called a groovy pop song with some 70's influence, and in my opinion has it's the same style that Sheila sung with Uinque II .
On Top Of All can be found on all digital platforms and will be included on her first solo album - "Better Than I am" characterized by the singer a hilarious and fun album to listen to.
Sheila she is also responsible of Unique II european hits like : Forever, 2be as 1, Lonely , The way i need to know, she joined the project in 1998 when Austrian top producers Erwin Geppner &; Werner Freistätter contact her and offer a deal with Sony Music.
The singer stick with the project till 2003.
Forever is the album released with the project and one of the best dance albums, but unfortunately was released in the era of mainstream music.

Today seemed like such a good day… but unfortunately it was ruined by the car trip home…..
The reason it was good was because my French lesson we did no work and I kinda zoned off for about half the lesson…. we got an answer for something…. then I leaned on my hand, and then the lesson was over…. Also, in DT we got hardly anything done as well…. Drama…. was just gay because no one knew what they were doing… at all….. Media was also gay because our subbed lesson included no work, which is fine, but what isn't fine is having teachers CONSTANTLY hovering behind you… the substitute teacher was always standing behind me, so I couldn't talk…. In the normal lessons the teacher doesn't teach us but instead I end up getting the helper lady DASH over and ask, "Are you getting on all right?" just CONSTANTLY! Also in media, it seemed to be colder IN the class room than outside… I know this because I walked from my form room to my media room which involved going outside…. It was fairly bearable… THEN when I enter the room I'm suddenly shivering LOADS as is everyone else…
The reason this good day was ruined was because in the car…. it was too gloomy to read my book, damn you British weather…. I don't think we are going to get any sun from now til Spring…. Not only that…. but because of all the mist in the car (water evaporated off our bodies) my dad had to pull the windows down at a junction…. Unfortunately we were near a farmers field… and it had recently had some poop put on it…. I got hit by that wave of air HARD…. I gagged from the smell…. Then I couldn't breathe for a while because of the smell…..
So yeah, time to MAYBE get some art done…. I didn't get any done yesterday because I didn't think my brother and I would be playing Gears of War for so long… Good thing is…. I didn't wake up on the floor….

There was once a very wise man who wrote,
"… One thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward… " (Philippians 3)
It is just a small piece of his many writings, but Paul the Apostle, also known as Saint Paul, wrote a lot and many of his letters found their way into the Bible. He finished his course.
Pressing on
Finishing is something a writer must do in order to get out his thoughts and words. Editing is something that polishes the work. It is better to finish the writing than to edit a piece of it, for no one will read any of it unless it is finished and sent out into the world.
This is logical.
Pride or shame or perfectionism may have their places in the writing process, but not in the first draft. "Finished is better than perfect" is a motto I subscribe to. It comes from Chandler Bolt, one of the founders of the Self Publishing School, of whom I am a graduate. I don't jive with everything he says or does… for me some of it is just too time consuming for my lifestyle of family and friends. BUT "finished is better than perfect" is something to which I certainly subscribe.
What holds you back from finishing a project?
1. Time can always be found. Sometimes we have to make time to write by giving up something else at least temporarily. But time or lack of it is not a reason to start but not finish.
2. Fear must be overcome if one is to become a writer. Fear of failure, fear of writing badly, fear of criticism are all matters to be dealt with, and these are not reasons not to finish3. Lack of planning can lead to getting stuck which in turn prevents us from finishing. So, plan before you start: use a mind map, create an outline, use a timer to keep you on track. There are all kinds of ways to ensure you keep going. (I can be available for personal coaching — by email to start at firstname.lastname@example.com)
4. Writer's block? There's always Stream-of-Consciousness that can help to get you out of a rut. I blogged on that recently.
5. It is really, very important to finish something once you've started it, unless of course it is a project that, as you write it, you discover it's "going nowhere". That might be because you've chosen the wrong genre. Or because it's a short story and not a novel, and there simply isn't enough to make it a "big project". This false start shouldn't happen too often, and if it does, perhaps you need to recognise you might be falling into a pattern of stalling because of fear or lack of planning.
Final Word
Try to start as you intend to finish… Like raising a child, you want your project (book, story, presentation, or blog post) to be perfect. But as his own art seemed to Vincent Van Gogh, art is usually imperfect to the artist. Let go of fear, perfectionism and any shame that you might carry in your work. You can trust that as it came from within, it needs to get out!
Offer someone a finished piece to read. You may just discover it's a gift to the receiver and an offering you've enjoyed to create.
I had intended to put my blogging on hold, and said so in my January post. I've got a big writing project at the moment. But then I decided, sharing with others the process of the writing craft is important. I want to keep going, and so, I am.

NEW YORK — Stocks rallied in quiet trading Wednesday as oil prices fell for a fourth straight session, countering a pair of government reports that gave a mixed picture of the economy.
The moderate surge in buying was welcome on Wall Street, where investors have been in no hurry lately to commit new money to stocks. Many have stuck to the sidelines in the face of a long list of worries, including volatile oil prices and persistent terror fears. Contributing to the session's light volume, a number of traders are preparing to take off ahead of the Republican convention in New York next week.
"All things being equal, if the price of oil continues to work its way lower, that will be very good for the market," said Barry Berman, head trader for Robert W. Baird & Co. in Milwaukee. "It doesn't mean the market will go straight up, but hopefully we've put in a bottom and we can now work higher."
The Dow Jones industrial average ended up 83.11, or 0.8 percent, at 10,181.74.
The broader gauges also posted gains. The Nasdaq composite index rose 23.83, or 1.3 percent, to 1,860.72. The Standard & Poor's 500 index finished up 8.77, or 0.8 percent, at 1,104.96.
Soaring fuel prices have pressured the market for weeks, with oil topping $49 per barrel last week, a record level. Prices have softened somewhat as anxiety about global supply eased, and a weekly government report showing higher-than-expected gasoline inventories sent them lower still Wednesday. Crude oil for October delivery dropped $1.74, or 3.9 percent, to $43.47 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gasoline futures tumbled 5 percent.Video: Latest market news
Investors were also pleased by a Commerce Department report that said orders for costly manufactured goods rose by 1.7 percent in July, an encouraging sign that the economy is shaking off the summer doldrums. The best reading in four months for durable goods — big-ticket items expected to last at least three years — was boosted by demand for airplanes, machinery and communications equipment.
But the department found sales of new homes declined by 6.4 percent in July, a far steeper drop than analysts anticipated. The decline left home sales at their lowest level since December. Figures for June were also revised lower. Analysts said a challenging labor market and high fuel prices may be making people wary about purchasing a new home.
Aside from falling oil prices, there was little incentive for buying, making some analysts wonder whether the stock rally would hold. Many unknowns, including the outcome of the presidential race, continue to weigh heavily on investors.
"The fact that oil prices are falling off a bit is certainly helpful," said Dave Legeay, director of portfolio management at McDonald Financial Group. "(But) fear that terrorism will disrupt supply is hanging over the market as a whole. Terrorism is also in play as we move forward to the election season."
Among the beneficiaries of rising orders for big-ticket goods, Dow component Boeing Co. rose 3.1 percent, or $1.59, to $52.50, on news that Singapore Airlines had ordered up to 31 long-range Boeing 777-300 jetliners.
Toll Brothers Inc. shed 34 cents to $43.12, despite reporting a 56 percent surge in profits and raising its forecast for the year based on current demand and its backlog of orders for new luxury homes. Enthusiasm for the homebuilder, which surged in early trading, waned on the news about sliding home sales.
Williams-Sonoma Inc. rose 10 percent, or $3.14, to $34.64, after reporting a 55 percent jump in second-quarter profits on strong sales at Pottery Barn and its outlet stores. The home products retailer also raised its revenue estimates and reiterated its income guidance while elevating earnings, revenue and sales forecasts for the year.
Gap Inc. fell 40 cents to $19.52 after brokerage firm Merrill Lynch downgraded the retailer to "neutral" from "buy" on concerns about sluggish sales, which could continue to decline this fall amid pressure on consumer spending, a mediocre product line and the company's decision to focus on young adults instead of back-to-school fashions. The firm's analyst also lowered earnings-per-share estimates for the rest of this year and next.
Advancing shares outpaced decliners by 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange. Preliminary consolidated volume came to 1.49 billion shares, up from 1.37 billion on Tuesday.
The Russell 2000 index, which tracks smaller company stocks, closed up 5.13, or 0.9 percent, at 550.14.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average finished 1.3 percent higher Wednesday. In Europe, France's CAC-40 added 0.02 percent, Britain's FTSE 100 was up 0.1 percent and Germany's DAX index gained 0.5 percent.

People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define Reality. But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts… Their Reality may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?
In order to survive, we cling to all we know and understand. And label it reality. But knowledge and understanding are ambiguous. That reality could be an illusion. All humans live with the wrong assumptions. Isn't that another way of looking at it? That sharingan how much can you really se?
...Every single one of us goes through life depending on and bound by our individual knowledge and awareness. And we call it reality. However, both knowledge and awareness are equivocal. One's reality might be another's illusion. We all live inside our own fantasies, don't you think?
Every human being relies on and is bounded by his knowledge and experience to live. This is what we call "reality". However, knowledge and experience are ambiguous, thus reality can become illusion. Is it not possible to think that, all human beings are living in their assumptions?

Forgiveness shows the light of Christ in Egypt
The Middle East has experienced much darkness during the last years. But a light is drawing attention.
Christians make up between 15-20 percent of the population of Egypt; most are members of the ancient Coptic church. The nation's leaders talk about all citizens being part of one family, but reality has been otherwise. Muslim demands are often appeased at the Christian minority's expense.
How should the church respond? Surely they should call for fairness and justice. However, efforts by young Coptic Christians to demonstrate for equal rights after the 2011 Arab Spring were literally crushed under military tanks. Now a different response from the church is having dramatic impact.
On Palm Sunday, ISIS suicide bombers attacked two Egyptian churches, killing 44 persons and injuring more than 100. At St. Mark's Cathedral in Alexandria, the bomber was prevented from entering the sanctuary by a guard, Naseem Faheem. So when the bomber detonated, Faheem was the first to die in the blast. A few days later, Amr Adeeb, perhaps the most prominent talk show host in Egypt, aired an interview of the widow saying, "I'm not angry at the one who did this. I'm telling him, 'May God forgive you, and we also forgive you. Believe me, we forgive you.' "
Adeeb sat in stunned silence, searching for a response. Finally he said, "Egyptian Christians are made of Steel! … How great is this forgiveness you have! If it were my father, I could never say this…" Millions marveled with him across the airwaves of Egypt.
Such a word of forgiveness differs radically from the prevailing Middle Eastern culture based on honor and shame, demanding revenge.
Christian forgiveness began to rivet Egypt in 2015 after ISIS executed 21 Egyptian Christians in Libya and the victim's families publicly forgave the terrorists. This grace is winning the hearts of the nation. Ramez Atallah, president of the Bible Society of Egypt, told a Christianity Today reporter that many Egyptians are seeing Christian forgiveness to be exactly what their country needs to "keep Egypt from becoming like Lebanon during its civil war." Forgiveness, not justice, is the only possible path to peace in Egypt. An insistence on justice can never bring about reconciliation since each side tallies justice differently than the other. What one thinks would even the score, the other would see as a new injustice to be avenged.
Jesus is still the light of the world! And the darker the world, the more brightly we see the light of his way of love and grace even to one's enemy.

Fireworks and enlightenment at the Vancouver ContainerArt PNE
Aesthetic enlightenment in a big way at Vancouver's ContainerArt temporary museum. Since 2009, summer after summer, fireworks have brightened the night sky above the contemporary art installations inside the containers. Perhaps set off by those "I get it" moments of catharsis by visitors inside? I hope so.
The Guardian of the ContainerArt Temple…
…is a dragon made of steel. Why does ContainerArt's temporary museum in Vancouver need a dragon to protect it? Well, dragons, monsters, sphynx, lions in front of places of contemplation are a good idea: they serve an apotropaic function: they ward off evil. For ContainerArt evil is distraction, vandalism, and generally not taking advantage of the … Continue reading
A Post-Clubbing ContainerArt Aesthetic Experience?
ContainerArt producers have an experimental mindset. At the PNE this year, museological experiments are being conducted to answer a question that has long vexed us: can a disco-like environment prepare and promote a visitor's aesthetic experience? In other words: can music, lights and dancing help to "de-scramble" the ego-structures that prevent one to see beauty through art? Ergo: if … Continue reading

Sorry for the late post on this, it was from 16/12/09 to 20/12/09, 11am to 8pm, @ 1 Utama. Somehow I had overlooked it ;-)
I saw this event in the newspaper so thought of bringing my kids for a treat since they like Dora. However, we had missed all the fun stuffs when we reached there around 4pm. Nevertheless, I find the event low-key actually, not much hyped, not many games to attract the kids and to made it more sleepy… the host was not exciting enough. (We nearly walked passed the area, thinking it was another event). She sounded monotonous, although multi-lingual but the Malay and Indian parents were not happy though. I heard some whispered 'What is she saying?' 'Why is she speaking in Mandarin?' Well, I guess you can't please everybody *shrugs*
The host was about to start a game, asking for volunteers
Ready to dunk your own face! The prize here was worth it… a Sponge Bob towel :-) but my kids were afraid of the green stuff… geez… wasted! Other games available throughout the day but the prize was not worthy though :-(
My son was kinda disappointed as he had to use his brain to win tic-tac-toe but the prize was just a Nickelodeon poster… no point taking a photo of it… sigh!
Overall, it was just not exciting enough, maybe because we have missed some of the main stuffs earlier i.e. meet Dora, etc. They should have advertised the calendar of event in the newspaper too so that we would be there at the right timing.

Audi's second generation Q5 is a premium mid-sized SUV that builds upon the solid sales foundation established by its successful predecessor. Jonathan Crouch takes a look at what's on offer.Ten Second Review
Audi's understated Q5 continues its subtle conquest of the premium mid-sized SUV sector. This second generation model gets a range of more efficient engines and even more car-like driving dynamics that are great on tarmac and are even pretty effective for light off road use. There's loads of advanced technology and a beautifully practical interior crafted in Audi's own inimitable style. In short, if you can afford it, you'd like one.Background
The second generation version of Audi's Q5 premium mid-sized SUV might not appear to be much different from its predecessor but take it from us: almost everything that could have been improved on this car has been. There's sharper looks, extra technology and more efficient engines that have reduced running costs. Audi, you see, doesn't do things by halves. Some things haven't changed though. As before, this is the kind of mid-sized SUV you buy if, rather unreasonably, you want something with reasonable mastery of the mud as well as the motorway. Something that'll look great in the driveway, keep you mobile in a snowy snap and shrink around you when a twisting road opens up ahead. It's a demanding brief that nearly half a million global owners felt was achieved by the original version of this car. But is this second generation version good enough to take on tougher rivals that promise much the same thing? That's what we're going to find out.Driving Experience
Most Q5 customers will want the 190PS 2.0 TDI diesel engine used in the volume '40 TDI quattro' variant, but low mileage owners shouldn't discount the much improved 245PS 2.0 TFSI petrol unit in the alternative '45 TFSI quattro' derivative. The drivetrain of the second generation Q5 has been redeveloped from the ground up - take the revised six-speed manual transmission and the more efficient seven-speed S tronic auto 'box for example. The standard quattro 4WD system is improved too, using Audi's 'ultra' technology to always disengage the rear-axle drive whenever it isn't needed: if necessary, the system can then proactively re-engage it. The most powerful variants can be ordered with an optional sport differential at the rear axle which distributes torque between the wheels for sharper handling. And all models get Torque vectoring for extra cornering precision. Dynamically, Audi has tried to make this Q5 feel sporty yet extremely comfortable. Creating the basis for this are the newly developed five-link suspension set-ups and also the new electromechanical power steering system. Choose a model with adaptive damping and you'll be able to tailor the ride quality via the various settings of the standard 'Audi drive select' vehicle dynamics system. You can do the same thing with the even more sophisticated adaptive air suspension package that's available as an option. Those venturing 'off piste' will be interested in the two new settings added to the 'drive select' set-up - 'lift/offroad' and 'allroad'.Design and Build
Compared to the previous model, this second generation Q5 has grown in nearly all of its dimensions and takes a defined and taut stance on the road. A sculpturally flared Singleframe grille with a solid frame dominates its aerodynamically flat front end. This feature is flanked by headlights that use either xenon or full-LED technology - or buyers can order Audi's advanced adaptable Matrix LED system as an option. A distinctively curved and strongly undercut shoulder line gives structure to the side view. The strongly emphasised wheel arches are a reference to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, and the low greenhouse tapers back down early. Just as at the front, horizontal lines at the rear aim to convey an image of width and presence. The tailgate wraps around the C-pillars - a typical feature of Audi Q models. At the wheel, a three-dimensional trim strip runs across the entire width of the instrument panel and here's a re-designed three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. This remains a five-seat model and the rear seat is split into three segments. Longitudinal and seat back angle adjustment are optional. Depending on the rear seat position, the basic volume of the luggage compartment ranges from 550 to 610-litres, 10-litres more than in the previous Q5. When the rear bench is folded down, this volume grows to 1,550-litres.Market and Model
The price positioning of this second generation Q5 hasn't changed very much, so most mainstream models will continue to sell in the £40,000 to £57,000 bracket. There's the choice of 'Sport', 'S line', 'Black Edition' and 'Vorsprung' trim levels. The key option is the 'Audi Virtual Cockpit' a 12.3-inch screen that completely replaces the dials in the instrument binnacle. The MMI terminal in the centre console acts as the main control element. In the top infotainment system, the optional MMI navigation plus with MMI touch and an 8.3-inch display, a touchpad is integrated into the rotary pushbutton. Many Q5 owners will want to order the upgraded 'multi-fuction steering wheel plus' and some may also want the optional Head-up display. The Audi navigation system will also be popular, the latest set-up able to 'learn' your regular routes and suggest optimised planning for your next trip. As ever with an Audi, media connectivity will be key to many customers. 'MMI navigation plus' uses the 'Audi connect' module to integrate a LTE module and a Wi-Fi hotspot. And a free 'Audi MMI connect app' allows you to monitor your car from your 'phone. You can connect in your handset via the 'Apple CarPlay' or 'Android Auto' systems - and boost its reception via the optional 'Audi phone box' feature. Kids will like the 'Audi tablet' system which provides for rear seat entertainment.Cost of Ownership
This second generation Q5 has taken a big step forward in terms of efficiency, thanks to a 90kg weight saving over its predecessor. This comes mainly courtesy of the fact that steels with maximum tensile strength and aluminium form an intelligent material mix in the body. It also helps in this regard that the MK2 model Q5 stands at the top of its class in its aerodynamics. The four-cylinder versions attain a cd figure of 0.30 with the aerodynamically optimised roof. As a result, the 40 TDI diesel that most customers buy manages up to 51.4mpg on the combined cycle and up to 144g/km of CO2 (both WLTP figures converted back to NEDC). And residuals? Well, trying to buy a used Q5 is quite a depressing experience as they cling onto their value with some tenacity. This is great news for the new buyer and part of a trend certain to continue with this MK2 model. After the usual three year / 60,000 mile ownership period, expect it still to be worth around 45% of what you originally paid for it.Summary
Whether your destination is Sainsburys or the annual family skiing trip to Crans Montana, you'll feel better about doing it in an Audi Q5. In between, in contrast to larger, plusher and thirstier 4x4s, you won't get that nagging feeling of using a sledgehammer to crash a nut when it comes to meeting your real motoring needs. Nor, when you're alone on a twisty B road, should you need to wish you'd bought something sportier. Of course, this second generation model now faces much tougher competition, but the well considered package of changes made to this smarter, better equipped and higher-tech mid-sized premium SUV should keep it very competitive with cars like Mercedes' GLC and BMW's X3 in the chasing pack. Certainly it's not cheap - but then neither is anything else in this segment and at least you'll get a decent part of your money back at resale time. True, it doesn't have the showiness of a Range Rover Evoque or the ultimate handling feedback of a BMW X3, but many will still find this Audi a perfect balance between these two extremes. Resolutely hi-tech and resolutely real world, the Q5 remains resolutely right.

50th Anniversary Campaign
> Donate Now
The first 50 donors receive a Purdue Richmond pennant and commemorative 50th Anniversary pin.
Why are we raising funds?
We are currently in a space that was created when Purdue Richmond offered 5 Associate Degrees. Our school now offers 9 Bachelor's Degrees and we've outgrown the space we're in.
Our Goals
We're trying to keep costs down while collaborating with our campus partners, Ivy Tech and IU East, for the benefit all our students.
A recent agreement with Ivy Tech will allow us to move the Purdue Engineering Technology labs into McDaniel Hall. In exchange, we can utilize each other's equipment and resources.
With the space that will be opened in Tom Raper Hall, we plan to configure classrooms and labs that will benefit Purdue students, as well as IU East students, local high school students, and the community. We'll have room for another computer lab, an active learning space, an ideation studio/makerspace, and a distance learning room.
Every move is designed to cost the least amount and have the biggest impact and the most students in our community.

This week's suggestion by Michael is "Baby Baby Baby" by Rebel. It's a song from 1982, and The Michael told me two things about the band:
- They were from the Netherlands; and
- From the late 1970s to 1982 they were known as Rotjoch.
That was all I knew about it until I went looking for more information. (I like to know what I'm up against with these obscure songs Michael sends me.)
Unfortunately, the Interwebs didn't tell me much. According to "this page, "rotjoch" mean "little pest". I also found out that in addition to the song being released in 1982, for some reason it was reissued the following year with different artwork, and was credited to "Rebel (featuring Waldo)".
And that's everything I know about Rebel's "Baby Baby Baby".
Now that I've flaunted my total knowledge of Rebel and their song, I'll have a listen to the little critter.
Rebel – "Baby Baby Baby" (1982)
0:00-0:19 – Yum. This is a very promising start. This introduction instantly reminded me of two things:
- Songs from the late-1950s/early-1960s. "Baby Baby Baby" uses a chord progression that was rampant in the '50s/'60s. The progression – C major, A minor, F major, G major – was used in the overwhelming majority of Rock 'n' Roll ballads of the time. (If you can't picture that chord progression in your head, just start singing "Duke Of Earl". Or "Earth Angel". Or "Stand By Me". That's the chord progression.)
- Puffy's "Koi no Etude". The combination of the bass line and the chord progression at the start of "Baby Baby Baby" immediately made me think of this Puffy song:
Puffy – "Koi no Etude" (2006)
I think that song is sublime.
But back to "Baby Baby Baby".
0:19-0:34 – I'm not entirely sure what the singer is singing in this verse, but I really like the melody. And I really like the little doodly guitar filigree/riff/lick/thing at 0:25/0:26.
I'm liking this song.
Now that the verse's vocal melody is getting stuck in my head, it's reminding me of something else. Unfortunately, I don't know what that something else is at the moment. Hopefully, I'll think of it soon.
Hang on…
Nope. Can't think of it.
0:34-0:49 – Here's the chorus, and I think it's cute. It's not all that different from the verse, so I'm slightly disappointed that it doesn't distinguish itself from the verse by containing… well, containing something other than music resembling the verse.
0:49-1:03 – Another enjoyable verse. And there's that guitar bit again (0:56/0:57). I don't know why, but the tiny guitar bit here is quieter than the first time it was played. Odd.
Very nice singing from 0:57-1:00. Unusually, though, when the singer sings "several" at 1:03, his phrasing on the last syllable sounds like he was Auto-Tuned. Considering this record was released in 1982, that blows my mind a little.
There's a nice drum fill leading into the next chorus (1:03-1:04) – although the high tom-toms (the first drums played in the fill) sound to me like bongos.
1:03-1:20 – This chorus has a weird vocal interjection. The singer begins the choruses with "Baby baby baby", but in this chorus the third "baby" is accompanied by background vocalists singing a harmonised "baby" fairly loudly. The net effect for me is "Baby baby BABY!"
Despite the startling "BABY!", I still like the chorus.
1:20-1:50 – A two-part guitar solo, and I think it suits the song admirably – although I'm not entirely sure why the guitar solo had to be in two parts. (Unless it was two guitarists sharing the time allotted for a solo, with the first guitarist playing from 1:20-1:34, and the other guitarist taking over solo duties from 1:34-1:50.) Whether it's one or two guitarists playing that solo, it's well-played, well-recorded, and doesn't outstay its welcome. My favourite part of the solo was the note-bend from 1:29-1:30. Very nice.
1:50-2:06 – Another chorus with that extra "BABY!" thrown in, but it didn't bother me as much as the first time I heard it.
2:06-2:19 – A little breather before the band launches into the chorus repeating until the song's finished. This part of the song is not much of anything, so I can't really comment on it. (There's nothing to comment on.)
2:06-2:19 – The chorus repeats, and the song finishes.
And that's the song.
Thanks, Michael. I liked that one.

Definitely Solar is a verdict for the 21st century, for people living and generations to come. Contrary to other renewables, Solar power produces no emissions and no greenhouse gasses. We can store solar energy in batteries, in flywheels, in heat, in phase change materials for when the sun isn't shining.
It's considered yet for Solar is subsequent for domestic use, but we also witness upcoming many fronts where the Solar systems role a good impact. Lower consumption, electricity devices are still best performer towards Solar utilities. Air conditioners are more often advised to an office or Home Interior. So, keeping the requirement in mind, energy efficient solutions are preferred.
Solar is being an ultimate & reasonable source to keep running light, medium or high consuming electronic or electrical apparatus. Solar energy can be used for Industrial processes in several ways from warm water for bottle or cannel washing or many chemical processes and hot air for drying or baking products. The Interesting thing apart from all is that Industrial machinery or distribution structure remains same; only the energy source is replaced.
Thinking about the consequences of how the world would change if the cost of producing solar energy is less than gasoline. What if it is less than coal or diesel? Less than nuclear, natural gas and hydropower? If solar were cheaper than fossil fuels, would We demand more solar power?
There is plenty of sunlight. We have space, in the unused fields, an endless number of rooftops and vacant lots. Solar isolation varies throughout the day and by the seasons and also there is no sun in the nights. For an uninterrupted supply of energy to a factory's process, There are 3 Ways to deal the possibilities: Either Hybrid, or Battery bank or Grid-tied Only. Direct use of Solar energy can be the solution as a large share of energy consumed worldwide is heat regarding space or liquid or melting slots.
We tend to see solar energy as yet another way to generate electricity, using PV panels or solar power plants. Collecting direct radiations from all directions through the tracking Solar system; may reach 120°C convertible to steam, which can drive a generator; but will not be a cost effective.
Without a doubt, Solar energy runs everything operated with grid or hybrid technology. So all domestic use to high electricity consuming requirements, Solar would be a lonely provider of energy segments and later or now, Government or corporate sector both considering this alternative mode to be adopted widely and open-heartedly to overcome electricity stress over the states as well as Central command.
Averer Technologies had it experienced to hassle free work On your part and We also made rhythm to benefit everyone, looking solar as an opportunity.

How do u add a new keyboard event?
In the internal grid code, you have a property called "kbactions" to store all the keyboard actions. It then creates an action handler for each of the actions with "obj.setAction()".
I would like to add a "spacebar" keyboard action.
How can I do this outside the internal code?

Unless you live on the West Coast, you know about seasons. And when seasons change, so must our skincare regimen. The weather and its elements affect our skin so much that if you reach for the same products all year long, you're doing your skin a disservice. It's something we're trying to be better at, too
