ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Regional Chamber is partnering with the producers of LouFest to create LouFest U, a free festival for college students, on Friday, September 8, 2017, 4-10:00 p.m. The event will kick-off the LouFest festival weekend, taking place on the Upper Muny Grounds and Festival Plaza in Forest Park. LouFest U is free to all students with a college ID or valid university email address. This event will feature live musical performances, speakers, activities and vendors from across the region.

Greg Laposa, the St. Louis Regional Chamber's Vice President, Education Strategies, says LouFest U aims to show the wealth of resources in St. Louis for students and young professionals. "Leaders in the cities across the country recognize the key to economic prosperity is a strong, well-educated workforce. Developing, attracting and retaining talent is how cities compete today. LouFest U is an opportunity to showcase the amazing places and culture St. Louis offers."
Laposa also says the college festival will help students connect to one another as well as to regional assets, creating a greater sense of community and civic pride.
LouFest was founded in 2010 and has become one of the city's largest summer events, attracting visitors from across the country who enjoy the diversity of music, food and art in historic Forest Park.

Canterbury D1A Top 20 Week 24
Calder Cahill | April 13, 2015
BOULDER, Colo. – The final Canterbury D1A Top 20 of the 2014-15 regular season is out following the completion of the last three D1A conference matches of the year.
In California, No. 7 Cal Poly and No. 2 Saint Mary's each earned blowout victories over San Diego State and Santa Clara, respectively. The teams hold firm to their rankings from last week, but the wins were still mightily important as the Gaels officially claimed the California Conference with their impressive 96-0 shutout, and the Mustangs are in no scare of missing the D1A Playoffs after their 48-7 dispatching of the Aztecs.
Davenport earned its first Mid-South Conference victory in program history when it dropped Lindenwood, 26-7. Interestingly enough, the Panthers' first conference win in three seasons in the Mid-South was in such a clinical manner that its 19-point margin of victory was the widest point spread in six Mid-South games this spring. The second largest margin of victory out of the three-team beast of a conference occurred March 28 when Life beat Davenport by seven.

The staff of Lane Memorial Library have served the community of Hampton for over 130 years. This winter, they're aiming to serve up some good, warm food to residents in need. "Read to Feed," is a reading challenge that will benefit the St. Vincent de Paul Community Kitchen. The library will urge children and adults to "earn" donations by reading great books. Local Hampton businesses are sponsoring the program.
"It's a winter reading program that mirrors our summer reading program. The difference is we're giving back to our community, instead of earning prizes for ourselves," said Lane Library Assistant Director Stacy Mazur.
The all-ages reading program will run from February 1st through March 31st, 2020. The library will have bookmarks available at the end of January for readers to track their progress. Students in grades K-5 read for 20 minutes, on 4 different days, per bookmark. Older students, in grades 6-12, and adults will read 4 books per bookmark. For every bookmark, a donation of $5 to the Community Kitchen will be made in the reader's name.
The library's initial goal is to earn $500. If the community reaches $500, the library has a "stretch" goal, where every book or 20 minutes read (by the younger kids) will earn $5 each, to reach $800. Library patrons can also make extra monetary contributions or donate non-perishable items for the Food Pantry.
"This is a great opportunity to promote literacy and encourage generosity within the Hampton community," Mazur said.
The Community Kitchen is in downtown Hampton at the Seaside Elderly Day Out Center. They serve five meals a week from mid-October to mid-May. "Clients have a sit-down dining experience when they come," said Lisa Parker, volunteer coordinator.
Volunteers and local community organizations prepare the meals off site. On days when volunteers are not able to meet the demand, monetary donations help to make sure a hot meal will be available for clients. Parker spoke about the continued need for volunteers to cook meals and staff the dinner service. "We operate completely on donations and through volunteers," she stated. "There are between three to four volunteers here every time we serve."
The funds raised by "Read to Feed" will help in part with on-going supply costs. "I'll come in to check and see if we have plates, silverware, or paper towels, and we're out again. Supplies are a constant need," Parker said. Donations also go towards upkeep and maintenance of the space as well as providing food supplies for volunteers who wish to prepare a cooked meal, but do not have the funds.
The Community Kitchen is an invaluable resource to the Hampton community, serving 40 to 60 people per night. "We get many donations over Thanksgiving and Christmas but find it harder to manage through the rest of winter. We still have people coming, but not as many donations or volunteers," Parker noted.
The Community Kitchen experienced the hardship of losing their long-time space at Hampton Beach to fire. The Hampton Fire Department and Chamber of Commerce offered temporary spaces in 2018/2019. The library looks forward to helping them continue to serve the Hampton community in their new downtown location.
The library is partnering with Marston School's Good Citizens Club on this project. Their members will make posters for the school to encourage their fellow students to take part, and they are also planning a food drive. Student representatives will be on hand to present the donations to St. Vincent de Paul at the completion of the reading campaign.
The library would like to thank local business sponsors, the Law Office of Eileen A. Nevins, Parsons Electric Co. Inc., Remick & Gendron Funeral Home-Crematory, Hampton Beach Casino, Bean Insurance Agency LLC of Hampton, NH, Pauline Maloney of Stoney Knoll Realty, Lions Club International of Hampton, NH, Tom Muldowney, Strategic-Partner of Schooley Mitchell.
Lane Memorial Library news
The Friends of Lane Memorial Library will be kicking off 2020 with an author series showcasing local and regional authors. Each event will feature an author discussing their books, describing their writing methods and practices, and question and answer time. Refreshments and a book signing will follow each presentation.
Boston author Roseann Sdoia will be at the library on Thursday, January 30th at 6:30 PM to reflect on her experiences during the Boston Marathon bombing as recounted in her book Perfect Strangers: Friendship, Strength, and Recovery After Boston's Worst Day.
Four lives brought together in a deadly moment prove that being in the wrong place at the worst time can lead to life's biggest adventures and most important relationships.
As Sdoia waited to watch her friend cross the finish line of the Boston Marathon in 2013, she had no idea her life was about to change-that in a matter of minutes she would look up from the sidewalk, burned and deaf, staring at her detached foot, screaming for help amid the smoke and blood.
In the chaos of the minutes that followed, three people would enter Roseann's life and change it forever. The first was Shores Salter, a college student who, when the bomb went off, instinctively ran into the smoke while his friends ran away. He found Roseann lying on the sidewalk and, using a belt as a tourniquet, literally saved her life that day. Then, Boston police officer Shana Cottone arrived on the scene and began screaming desperately at passing ambulances, all full, before finally commandeering an empty paddy wagon. Just then a giant appeared, in the form of Boston firefighter Mike Materia, who carefully lifted her into the fetid paddy wagon. He climbed in and held her burned hand all the way to the hospital. Since that day, he hasn't left her side, and today they are planning their life together.
Sdoia was one of the bystanders severely injured by the blast, and yet tells an inspiring story about recovery, about choosing joy and human connection over anger and resentment, and most of all, about an unlikely and enduring friendship that grew out of tragedy.
Perfect Strangers is about recovery, about choosing joy and human connection over anger and resentment, and most of all, it's about an unlikely but enduring friendship that grew out of the tragedy of Boston's worst day.
Upcoming authors are:
Nancy Donovan, The NH Writers Project People's Choice Award 2019, and author of In The Valley of the Dragons on Thursday February 27, 2020 at 6:30pm.
Brian Hall author of Not Afraid to Fall, a non-fiction book that chronicles Brian's journey with Parkinson's Disease from the early onset of the disorder, to the present day on Thursday March 26, 2020 at 6:30pm.

Weston Gallery - Ethel Hills, November 2019
Tuesday, November 19th at 6:30 PM
Ethel Hills grew up in rural Hollis, New Hampshire amidst farms, apple orchards, hayfields and woods. After high school, she attended Dickinson College for two years before taking some time off. During this break in her schooling, she explored black and white photography, primarily the natural forms in the landscape around her parents' home in Hollis. She briefly toyed with the idea of returning to school to learn more about photography, but panicked when she found out that meant art school.
Instead, she enrolled at the University of New Hampshire to complete her BA. While at UNH, she fell in love with the seacoast area, the beaches, the rocks, the marshes, and the solitude of the area in the off season. After graduating, she moved to Hampton, eventually settling next to the salt marsh.
Shortly after moving to Hampton, she took up traditional rug hooking. As she learned more and more about rug hooking, she wanted her rugs to become more her own creation. Although she learned to plan her own colors and dye her own wool, she was still working with commercial patterns. It was her pursuit of more personal and creative hooked pieces which brought her to her love of art. Her goal was simple, to learn just enough drawing to be able to produce the very simple line drawings that are the basis of rug designs.
One thing led to another, first a couple of books on drawing, then a drawing class at a high school, then a watercolor class, then a workshop and on and on. There was always something new to learn. After getting a feel for watercolor, the next step was to strengthen her drawing skills. She went back to UNH, only this time studying in the Art Department. She's worked hard to develop her skills by taking traditional classes at both UNH and the New Hampshire Institute of Art, and also by studying with well-known watercolor artists and teachers, Dustan Knight, Don Andrews, DeWitt Hardy, Ed Betts, Skip Lawrence, and Gerry Brommer.
Hills came to art later in life and through a circuitous route, but has no regrets about it. She has been painting seriously for almost twenty years and is currently pursuing her art career from her small studio in downtown Hampton. She is an active member of the Ogunquit Artist Association, Abstract Artists' Group of New England, Women's Caucus for Art, Arts League of Lowell and the New Hampshire Art Association. She has exhibited in numerous juried, group and solo shows in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine. She is represented by Paula Estey Gallery in Newburyport, MA.

Mural Unveiling on July 12, 2019
On Friday, July 12th beginning at 1:30 PM everyone is invited to drop by the library to see our new stairway mural created by artist Kit Collins, standing here with Library director Amanda Reynolds Cooper. The Friends of Lane Memorial Library commissioned this colorful new addition to the library, and we would like to celebrate her accomplishment. We will serve light refreshments and visitors will have a chance to meet Kit and hear about her work and the story she's created.
The mural has been months in the making. Kit was tasked with drafting up three different mural designs on which the Hampton community voted in person and through the library website. The three themes were "Wide World of Books", "Local, Gone Global", and "New Hampshire Nature". New Hampshire Nature was voted as the top pick and features a variety of wildlife and scenery that can be found in and around Hampton and New Hampshire. It's playful and imaginative, with bobcats reading to their kits, an octopus flipping through an underwater novel, and more.
Starting at 2:00 PM, the Library will also be holding a Community Art Project. Just for fun, families will get to splatter, swirl and splash together a universe of color on a massive, parking-lot size roll of paper.
"Saga of the Submarine Squalus" - May 28, 6:30 PM
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the saga of the Squalus, a submarine built at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, which sank during it's 19th test dive on May 23, 1939, six miles southeast of the Isles of Shoals.
During the dive, the main induction valve failed to close, and water rushed into the submarine, flooding the aft compartment. Submerged in 240 feet of water, 33 of its 59 crew members were rescued. It was the greatest submarine rescue in the history of the United States Navy.
To commemorate the anniversary, Karen Raynes and Mike Garland have researched and produced a documentary, "Saga of the Submarine Squalus," that will be shown Monday, May 27, at 1 p.m., at the American Legion Post #35, 69 High Street in Hampton, and Tuesday, May 28, at 6:30 p.m., at the Lane Memorial Library. The documentary tells the story of the rescue, salvage and rebirth of the Squalus. The screenings are free and all are welcome to attend.
An exhibit about the Squalus is on display at the Tuck Museum of Hampton History, 40 Park Avenue in Hampton. The museum is open Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, 1-4 p.m.
November 10 will be Squalus Sunday at the Tuck Museum when the documentary will be shown at 2 p.m., followed by a discussion hosted by Raynes and Garland about the making of the "Saga of the Submarine Squalus."
Seacoast Open Studio - Weston Gallery, May 2010
This month the library welcomes 11 artists from the Seacoast Open Studio who will be exhibiting their work in the Weston Gallery during the months of May and June. They will welcome guests and patrons at a reception on the evening of May 21 at 6:30 PM. We asked them to share a bit about who they are and why they come together:
"Seacoast Open Studio (SOS) is an eclectic group of visual artists from the Seacoast NH area that has been meeting weekly for the last nine years in Exeter, NH. We get together September through June on Friday mornings, 9:30-noon, upstairs at the historic Exeter Parks and Recreation Building to create art and share ideas, critiques, and inspiration.
Our styles range from wild abstracts to the more traditional. The mediums and subjects are diverse; even the size of our works stretch from miniature to murals.
Venues where the SOS exhibits includes local libraries, D Squared Java, Exeter Hospital, the Provident Bank, Blue Moon Evolution, and Exeter Old Town Hall.
Our open and supportive group enjoys welcoming newcomers."


Miami, Florida – January 1, 2011 – MarcumRachlin, a division of Marcum LLP, has formally changed its name to Marcum LLP. The move is the final step in a transition that began in 2009, when South Florida-based Rachlin LLP joined forces with New-York based Marcum LLP, as one of the largest independent accounting and advisory services firms in the nation.
"For nearly six decades, the Marcum brand has been a hallmark of world-class, personalized service, technical expertise and integrity for middle-market companies seeking the highest standards in accounting and advisory services," said Jeffrey M. Weiner, Managing Partner of Marcum LLP. "As we continue to expand into new territories and enhance the breadth and depth of our offerings, the complete integration of our offices, services and resources under the Marcum name will remain a priority."
Marcum LLP has made five strategic mergers over the past 30 months, significantly expanding its presence throughout the Northeast, Florida and California. The firm's Florida offices, located in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Orlando, are well known for their expertise in the areas of government, public and not-for-profit sectors, bankruptcy and receiverships.
"Over the past 18 months, our clients have experienced the advantages that the shared resources and depth of experience a national firm like Marcum affords us all," Lawrence H. Blum, Partner-in-Charge of Marcum's Florida division. "We look forward to continuing to serve our clients under the Marcum banner while never losing sight of our Florida roots and the clients who have allowed us to become a regional leader over the past 55 years."

The importance of homocysteine as a marker for health and wellbeing has recently become evident with elevated levels now recognised as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's. That's why we've designed this simple homocysteine blood test.
Homocysteine is produced as part of the body's methylation process and is used to make protein and maintain tissue. In healthy cells homocysteine is quickly converted to other products, but build up of homocysteine in the blood can increase the risk of stroke, heart disease, and even Alzheimer's. Homocysteine blood test levels have been found to be a better measure of risk for cardiovascular disease, especially in older people, than conventional factors such as smoking, cholesterol or raised blood pressure. Raised homocysteine blood test levels are also linked to Alzheimer's, dementia, declining memory, poor concentration and judgment and lowered mood.
The complex metabolism of homocysteine depends on vitamin B12, folate and vitamin B6, and deficiencies in these vitamins can lead to raised homocysteine blood test levels. Other factors thought to raise homocysteine levels are poor diet, poor lifestyle (especially smoking and high coffee and alcohol intake), some prescription drugs (such as proton pump inhibitors), diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and poor thyroid function. Many people can lower their homocysteine blood test levels through changing their diet, in particular by reducing their protein intake and increasing their intake of B vitamins.
Elevated homocysteine blood test levels are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and may also be elevated in cases of malnutrition or vitamin B12 or folate deficiency.


Abstract: Differential game logic (dGL) is a logic for specifying and verifying properties of hybrid games, i.e. games that combine discrete, continuous, and adversarial dynamics. Unlike hybrid systems, hybrid games allow choices in the system dynamics to be resolved adversarially by different players with different objectives. The logic dGL can be used to study the existence of winning strategies for such hybrid games, i.e. ways of resolving the player's choices in some way so that he wins by achieving his objective for all choices of the opponent. Hybrid games are determined, i.e. from each state, one player has a winning strategy, yet computing their winning regions may take transfinitely many steps. The logic dGL, nevertheless, has a sound and complete axiomatization relative to any expressive logic. Separating axioms are identified that distinguish hybrid games from hybrid systems. Finally, dGL is proved to be strictly more expressive than the corresponding logic of hybrid systems by characterizing the expressiveness of both.

Building New Communities: West Midlands
We have been working in the West Midlands since 2011 to bring people together in areas targeted by far-right politicians and activists. This has included community projects in towns such as Dudley where we have helped community members organise community-run newsletters, events, social opportunities and campaigns to bring people together from different backgrounds.
Right now in Birmingham our community organiser Mahmooda is working with a huge number of partners to build connections between different communities. From organising Great Get Togther events in Erdington, to coordinating the Same Differnece Sikh/Muslim group, Mahmooda's work is building new links across the community, which in tern builds confidence and resilience.
By emphasising what we have in common and building shared identities, we can isolate the haters.

Top live Northern Soul act heading to Chester with soul legend Nolan Porter
Essex based Northern Soul band The Signatures bringtheir high energy live music to The Live Rooms in Chesteron the 12th of October with Nolan Porter, an icon in the scene. Photo: Wullie Marr
ESSEX-based Northern Soul band The Signatures are bring to their high energy live music to The Live Rooms in Chester on October 12.
The Signatures, will be providing musical accompaniment for Nolan Porter.
Northern Soul was a dance and music movement that emerged from the North of the UK in the 1970's based on rare American soul music.
The Signatures have provided backing for some of the most influential original musicians from the Northern Soul scene - Brenda Holloway, Tobi Legend, Dean Parrish, Tommy Hunt, Pat Lewis, Jimmy Thomas, Ruby Andrews and Sidney Barnes, to name a few.
Establishing themselves in 2009, The Signatures started on the UK scooter and Mod scene, progressing on to the UK Northern Soul scene as well as playing major music festivals and corporate events. Bringing their brand of power and energy, The Signatures put their own expression to the music from the world famous Northern Soul clubs like The Wigan Casino, The Twisted Wheel and Blackpool Mecca.
Nolan had a string of Soul and R&B hits in the '70s and could regularly be heard on the dance floors of many of Britain's most popular Northern Soul dance halls. He is seen as a pioneer by departing from the gospel influenced performances of James Brown or Otis Reading in favour of a more lowkey and emotive vocal style.
The evening at the Live Rooms in Chester on October 12 will see a set from up-and-coming soul vocalist Stefan Taylor covering an upbeat collection of rare and classic Northern Soul hits and the set of original and iconic soul standards from Nolan Porter - all backed by The Signatures, a full 11-piece band featuring Hammond organ.
Gavin, drummer and manager of the band, said: "I'm really looking forward to performing at The Live Rooms - Chester has such a strong fan base and history associated with the Northern Soul scene, so it's bound to be a great night in a wonderful live music venue."

I have to say that the Proverbialist really should have made the reckless tongues pierce like swords. That would have been a gripping mental image.
President Trump shocked the nation Monday by announcing via Twitter: "I have the absolute right to PARDON myself." Many of his liberal critics deny he holds this power. But their disdain has led to faulty constitutional analysis. I share the view that any decision by Mr. Trump to pardon himself would spur a political disaster of, well, Trumpian proportions. But that is precisely the point. The powerful check public opinion places on the president reduces the need to conjure a prohibition of self-pardons from the text of the Constitution.
Epstein argues that the check on presidential self-pardons is public opinion. And also that Congressional "abuse of the impeachment power would pose a far greater risk to our constitutional order than any misuse of the pardon power."
Jonah Goldberg is not a legal eagle, but that doesn't stop him from asking: Could Trump Pardon Himself?
When the Constitution was written, there were only three federal crimes: piracy, counterfeiting, and treason. In that context, the pardon power was an important tool of statecraft. Pardoning is an act of forgiveness, and one can imagine presidential magnanimity might foster social peace in a young nation full of revolutionary hotheads. The first presidential pardon, issued by George Washington, forgave two men of treason during the Whiskey Rebellion.
Another good argument, which will be ignored by everyone.
Yes, so much for "science has spoken". The scientists have long since given way to the progressive ideologues, who see "climate change" as a scare-mongering excuse to get the political goodies they wanted all along.
Well, as I've pointed out repeatedly, it also became blindingly obvious that the people who kept telling us it was a crisis weren't acting like a crisis. They kept their big houses, SUVs full of bodyguards, and private jets. They're like fervent abolitionists who never got around to freeing their own slaves.
[…] I should at least point out that I do not consider myself a "Never Trumper" anymore, having abandoned that label once he was elected. Ben Shapiro classifies me — and himself — as a "Sometimes Trumper" in order to distinguish between the "Never Trumpers," who oppose Trump in every instance, and what might be called "Always Trumpers," who do the opposite. I prefer the term "Trump Skeptic" because these other terms are too suggestive of a cult of personality. When I agree with Trump or support his policies, I do not change my opinion about the man himself. And since we're talking about Tail Gunner Joe, let me use him to illustrate the point: Joseph McCarthy was right that Communism was a dangerous threat, but that didn't change the fact he was a bullying demagogue.
Is it true, by the way, that Trump's Secret Service code name is "Loose Cannon"?
I can't even imagine what Senator Maggie has in mind for legislation here, but it's impressive that her first knee-jerk instinct is to push people around to get the arbitrary desired outcome she wants.
You are clearly wasting your talents as a senator, when it's obvious your real expertise is elsewhere. Please resign, buy a WNBA team, and pay your players the average NBA salary.
Via some Googling: average NBA salary is $6.2 million (2016-17 season). The average WBNA salary seems to be around $75K. Exercise for the reader: how long before WNBA mogul/business mastermind Maggie Hassan goes bankrupt?

Q: How do I calculate the electrical power of a BLDC motor? I used a current sensor to measure the current of one of the motor phase lines (Iphase or Iline?), and used a voltage sensor to measure the voltage between two motor phase lines (Vline-line).
With these two values, how do I calculate the electrical power of the BLDC motor? They all are AC, but I don't know if I should use the formula of power calculation for WYE connection or DELTA connection.

A:
I don't know if I should use the formula of power calculation for WYE
connection or DELTA connection

If your motor is 3-phase then the load type (wye or delta) makes no difference if you use the "two wattmeter" method: -

Images from here
In other words W1 + W2 = power for both configurations.

I used a current sensor to measure the current of one of the motor
phase line (Iphase or Iline?), and use a voltage sensor to measure the
voltage between two motor phase lines (Vline-line). With these two
values, how do I calculate the electrical power of the BLDC motor?

I think you will have difficulty using your method because it cannot account for the full device power. You can't even reliably scale-up the reading because, on many types of load at low power factors (less than 0.5), using the 2 wattmeter method can produce a negative power reading on one meter with the other power being positive. At exactly 0.5 power factor, one meter will read zero.


This combustible gas detector has a precise tick rate control to assist in locating those hard to find leaks, a digital display that reads both concentrations of LEL and parts-per-million of the combustible gas sensed. Warning LED's and audible alarms alert the operator of impending hazards. A push button data-logging feature allows you to print out the results of a gas leak test and calibration data to an optional printer or PC.
Detection of gas occurs at the end of a flexible gooseneck allowing easy pinpointing of a leak source. The sensor samples the air continuously and does not require a pump or a hand aspirator. Accessory probes with hand aspirators provide gas samples from remote locations or manholes.

"The original differential carrier is a major weak point within the gearbox, and is prone to breaking and causing major damage to the case and internals of the gearbox, unfortunately there is no warning when or where this may happen"
Anyone know if any internals are shared with either the standard Ignis or Ignis Sport gearboxes? Or is it solely to do with the 4wd part of the box?
i guess only 4wd as i havent had a problem with my IS. plus the website is only talking about cruze's which only cmae to aust with 4wd. they dont mention suzuki ignis.
The problem with the diff is most likely related to the offset drive that runs into the rear transfer case. Pretty obviously a design based on price and not strength, and specific to the Cruze.
It is the diff carrier that has a problem,the carrier drives the rear drive via a splined shaft.
There are upgraded carriers available as this is a very common failure(due to the very poor design!!)..
This part is not the same on ignis or ignis sport.
Are there upgraded carriers from Holden/Suzuki (supersede)? or only aftermarket?

These Protolene SCI-FI vehicles in 15mm from Critical Mass Games have mostly been based on metal disks with the exception of the Fenris model which is on plasti-card.
I then used the Windsor and Newton Texture gel mixed with fine sand for additional grit factor. The gel makes it very easy to build up to the edges of those large toe platforms under the small vehicles.
The legs on the bigger model are tricky and require some careful placement. I also wanted to keep the base size down so I angled in the toes on one side to keep it on a narrow plasticard base. It was a case of using some blu-tac first to get a position before marking and then gluing the feet on the base.
These are nice and I like the look of how you've assembled them. The dorsal turret doen't look like it would be very useful except for siege attacks.. I'd probably try to put more armament in the head.
Thanks SJ. The smaller walkers work well on the round metal discs. I think they will paint up well.
Great use of the lava gel... I've always wanted to try out that stuff.
@SpaceJacker - I've always wondered why those transport walkers didn't come with chin guns, or maybe something on the front shoulders.
They are very nice models and I am very angry with myself for not getting them finished yet!


This is a high level helper module designed to help you get up an running with WebRTC really, really quickly. By using this module you are trading off some flexibility, so if you need a more flexible configuration you should drill down into lower level components of the rtc.io suite. In particular you should check out rtc.
The following events are emitted from the signalling object created by calling quickconnect(). Additionally, any of the underlying signaller events can also be used.
The peer level events provided in quickconnect provide you the ability to tap into the various stages of the lifecycle for connecting with a peer, before the connection actually migrates to the status of a connected "call".
The peer:connect event is emitted when we first create a connection to a discovered peer. The peerconnection argument is a standard RTCPeerConnection instance.
The peer:couple event is emitted when once quickconnect has coupled to it's remote counterpart.
A "call" in quickconnect is equivalent to an established RTCPeerConnection between this quickconnect instance a remote peer.
Triggered once a peer connection has been established been established between this quickconnect instance and another.
Triggered when a peer connection has been closed. This may be due to the peer connection itself indicating that it has been closed, or we may have lost connection with the remote signaller and the connection has timed out.
The channel:opened event is triggered whenever an RTCDataChannel has been opened (it's ready to send data) to a remote peer.
In the case above the console message would only be displayed for the foo channel once open, and when the bar channel is opened no handler would be invoked.
Emitted when the channel has been closed, works when a connection has been closed or the channel itself has been closed.
The label specific equivalent of channel:closed.
The stream:added event is triggered when an RTCPeerConnection has successfully been established to another peer that contains remote streams. Additionally, if you are using quickconnect in it's "reactive" mode then you will also receive stream:added events as streams are dynamically added to the connection by the remote peer.
As per the stream:added event but triggered when a stream has been removed.
When working with WebRTC data channels, you can call the createDataChannel function helper that is attached to the object returned from the quickconnect call. The createDataChannel function signature matches the signature of the RTCPeerConnection createDataChannel function.
If in doubt, I'd recommend not passing through options.
The options provided to the rtc-quickconnect module function influence the behaviour of some of the underlying components used from the rtc.io suite.
An optional namespace for your signalling room. While quickconnect will generate a unique hash for the room, this can be made to be more unique by providing a namespace. Using a namespace means two demos that have generated the same hash but use a different namespace will be in different rooms.
Rather than use the internal hash generation (plus optional namespace) for room name generation, simply use this room name instead. NOTE: Use of the room option takes precendence over ns.
Write rtc.io suite debug output to the browser console.
By providing a positive integer value for this option will mean that the created quickconnect instance will wait until the specified number of streams have been added to the quickconnect "template" before announcing to the signaling server.
Set this value to true if you would prefer to call the join function to connecting to the signalling server, rather than having that happen automatically as soon as quickconnect is ready to.
This provides a list of ice servers that can be used to help negotiate a connection between peers.
Under the hood, quickconnect uses the rtc/couple logic, and the options passed to quickconnect are also passed onto this function.
The following are functions that are patched into the rtc-signaller instance that make working with and creating functional WebRTC applications a lot simpler.
Add the stream to active calls and also save the stream so that it can be added to future calls.
The endCalls function terminates all the active calls that have been created in this quickconnect instance. Calling endCalls does not kill the connection with the signalling server.
The close function provides a convenient way of closing all associated peer connections. This function simply uses the endCalls function and the underlying leave function of the signaller to do a "full cleanup" of all connections.
Request that a data channel with the specified label is created on the peer connection. When the data channel is open and available, an event will be triggered using the label of the data channel.
Then when the data channel is ready for use, a test:open event would be emitted by qc.
The join function is used when manualJoin is set to true when creating a quickconnect instance. Call the join function once you are ready to join the signalling server and initiate connections with other people.
The get function returns the property value for the specified property name.
Flag that this session will be a reactive connection.
Remove the specified stream from both the local streams that are to be connected to new peers, and also from any active calls.
This is a function that can be used to respond to remote peers supplying a data channel as part of their configuration. As per the receiveStream function this function will either fire the callback immediately if the channel is already available, or once the channel has been discovered on the call.
Used to request a remote stream from a quickconnect instance. If the stream is already available in the calls remote streams, then the callback will be triggered immediately, otherwise this function will monitor stream:added events and wait for a match.
In the case that an unknown target is requested, then an exception will be thrown.
Update the profile data with the attached information, so when the signaller announces it includes this data in addition to any room and id information.

An F-22 Raptor flies over Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Sept. 21, 2011, after a four month stand down. Air Force senior leaders recently approved an implementation plan that will allow the F-22 to resume flight operations. The stand down of the fleet was directed May 3, 2011, as a safety precaution following 12 separate reported incidents of pilots experiencing hypoxia-like symptoms.
