A succinct summary from todays Skype conversation. Seems like we are getting somewhere as a group. I've had to edit it. Hope I havent been one-sided. Please dont hesitate to edit it if you feel the need.
[30/07/2012 15:01:00] Katrine: I really liked the thought about all the stuff that goes up into the cloud and is hardly ever viewed.
[30/07/2012 15:06:16] Eduardo Silva: Ben had a brilliant idea last chat, to create an art gallery which will die in 1 year.
[30/07/2012 15:07:36] justinlogue89: i think we also need to take into account how we can collaborate on this as we are all in different countries.
[30/07/2012 15:10:59] Katrine Granholm: also there is the issue of copies and backups.
[30/07/2012 15:15:33] sneja_d: yes but if it disappears after a year ? or earlier?
[30/07/2012 15:22:50] Katrine Granholm: but can you really even talk about originals when you are creating something digital – an exact copy with no data loss is the same isn't it?
[30/07/2012 15:28:48] Katrine Granholm: that's cool – what if we could take all the lost and forgotten data and change it into new digital experiences.
[30/07/2012 15:30:41] justinlogue89: well this idea of keeping the things that aren't needed seems to be something we can all relate to. physical objects and digital. giving a new life or purpose to these could be interesting – reincarnating their function.
[30/07/2012 15:31:45] Katrine Granholm: Maybe we should use all our old data for the project then?
[30/07/2012 15:34:00] Kiers: Wouldnt we be adding more stuff to the cloud and then forgetting about it all over again at a later date? Dont want to rain on the parade but I dont see that as sustainable – we are doubling the amount of crap rather than reducing it.
[30/07/2012 15:38:23] Eduardo – you choose yourself what you want to put into the project – but whatever goes in should be deleted.
[30/07/2012 15:39:14] Kiers: Its not an act of sustainability unless we delete what we donate.
[30/07/2012 15:39:43] sneja_d: No copy should be kept.
[30/07/2012 15:44:39] justinlogue89: once something has been appropriated and used, it is recycled, the unwanted file deleted and that the mutation and evolution of it.
[30/07/2012 15:45:59] Kiers: I like the idea of passing the raw binary data from these files through some filter and out the other end pops a video or sound file, that way we can use any digital format. It neednt output all the raw data in a single kit – it could evolve as people add more data to it. perhaps the visualisation isnt recorded – its a live stream – the only piece of data written onto the server is the filter program – once it has used up the data it is automatically deleted. We are watching the decay and ultimately the death of our data.
[30/07/2012 15:52:06] Ola: So all files loaded will be automatically deleted or filtered to another file format (video or audio)?
[30/07/2012 15:54:56] justinlogue89: how are things going to be filtered into another file format?
[30/07/2012 15:58:16] Ola: Oh, I like that, like screen muncher app for black berry.
[30/07/2012 16:01:21] sneja_d: but what if we had a template that allows bits of everything without filtering before?
[30/07/2012 16:13:09] justinlogue89: in terms of output what does everyone think? what will a video made of binary code look like for example?
[30/07/2012 16:25:01] Katrine Granholm: do you think it could be done in processing? not that I have any idea how.


Delay is the ultimate tool for adding space, depth and excitement to music, and engineers and musicians have relied on a wide variety of incredible-sounding delay units over the past 70 years to handle those tasks – ranging from early tape machines to modern digital designs. Armed with that history, when Slate Digital and their friends at D16 got together to create a new delay plugin it was obvious to them which of those delays we would model. ALL of them.

The More I Read. . .
There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.
Lord of Darkness
10:30 pm 17 June 2014
I'm not going to spend a lot of time and words on Lord of Darkness. It was disappointing in so many ways and came close to being a DNF for me. Why not just chunk it in the bag for the used book store? Well, I'll get to that in a minute.
First, I found "Megs" perplexing and, at times, selfish mixed in with a heaping dose of "stupid." The sum total of Megs just left me numb with boredom, not a little puzzled, and a more than a tad angry. Megs has two goals: wreak vengeance on the Ghost of St. Giles whom she believes murdered Roger, her erstwhile fiancé, and to have another baby.
I don't know how many times she utters the word "baby", and I refuse to go back and count. The "I want a baby" plot was weird to me, and it felt almost as if she thought another child could replace or was interchangeable with the one she miscarried despite being fathered by a different man, a man she didn't love at all. Godric saves letters written by Megs while she's recuperating from her miscarriage and grieving Roger's death at his country estate, Laurelwood. These letters didn't sound like a woman who was so depressed and grief-stricken that her brother worried about her willingness to go on living. Instead, they were friendly, light-hearted, and full of a slice of life at Laurelwood. It just didn't jibe with the picture of Megs who was almost catatonic at the end of Thief of Shadows.
Godric was a problem, too. He gives this very emotional speech about the love of his life, Clara, and why he has never "lain" with any other woman after he married Clara and never will.
"Anything else would be a parody of intimacy." (P. 73)
I grieved for him having to watch the love of his life slowly waste away. I understood the depth of emotion for his wife and why he felt there was no one else for him. I loved him for his devotion to Clara even as I wished him to find happiness again. I found his speech to Megs poignant and honest and heartbreaking. Yet within a very short amount of time, he reverses himself, consummates his marriage to Megs, and becomes angry with her because she appears to be using him as a substitute for Roger and won't respond sexually as he would like. There was no rhyme or reason, nor sufficient time, to make his volte-face credible for me. Even more surprising was his confession to Meg at the end that he'd been in love with her since the second letter she wrote to him shortly after their marriage two years ago.
I was dismayed that the "lassie snatcher" plot line continues in Lord of Darkness. Once again, the Ghost is capering atop roof tiles in search of hidey-holes full of little girls forced to make clocked lace stockings for aristocratic ladies and smiting all the evil doers with his mighty sword. It would've added a depth to the book if this plot thread had been expanded just a little, and I found it hard to become emotionally involved in this aspect of the story. Instead of little girls crying out for the Ghost to right this wrong, to wreak his vengeance on the ones who kidnapped them, to rescue them from beatings, starvation and murder once their usefulness was outlived, they seemed, instead, to be shadowy nebulous creatures at best and a tired recycled plot device at worst.
I really came close to chunking this book in the UBS bag about half way through, but I have liked Artemis Greaves since the first time she shows up as companion to the irritating Lady Penelope (and despite the author's using her and the Duke of Wakefield in this book as a rather obvious set up for the last book in this series). She's a quiet, unpretentious character who has hidden depths that I hope are explored and expounded upon. Also, Artemis's relationship with her brother, Apollo, was intriguing while Megs and Godric were . . .not. At this point, I'm not holding out much hope for my too-high expectations of Duke Of Midnight, but I'm interested enough to give the last book in the Maiden Lane series a try. Sadly, Duke of Midnight will most likely be my last book by this author unless something changes drastically.

While usually seen as competitors, Qualcomm and Samsung are about to embark on a very cozy trip to your smartphone's innards. Samsung has just announced mass production of their 14nm LPP(Low-Power Plus) has begun.
As expected, this technology will be embedded right into Samsung's upcoming Exynos 8 Octa processor, but it won't be the only one rocking all the goodies. Samsung is certainly willing and able to partner up with other chip makers, and one of them happens to be Qualcomm.
As you can assume (and read in the title), this does mean that the Korean manufacturing will be producing the almighty Snapdragon 820, which is expected to power plenty of flagship handsets in 2016.
That's right, even if your phone is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 chipset, it will be a Samsung-made SoC. In the battle of tech, the only winner seems to be that with the most profits, and if it means making money Samsung will definitely get in bed with the San Diego-based chip maker. We even got to see a Samsung demo tablet running a BRITECELL 1.34um camera sensor at CES, which just so happened to be powered by a Snapdragon 820.
And it is no surprise. After all, Samsung has been working very closely with another main competitor – Apple. They also provide screen technology for many other companies, and their manufacturing services are not about to stop.
As always, Qualcomm and Samsung will still battle for your pocket. Both are expected to be great contenders, but we have to mention we did spend some time with the Snapdragon 820 at CES and walked out quite impressed. The LeTV Le Max Pro is the first handset to come with Qualcomm's chipset, and its benchmarks reach well over the 130,000 AnTuTu milestone. Insane!

An Incredible Monsoon Stage for Incredible India's Birthday

HOUSTON: Neither the fury of the wind nor the fierce downpour of monsoon rains could deter the show and Executive Director cheerfully told nervous inquiring callers in performing parlance that the show must go on. About a thousand people heeded her call and braved the elements to see the program "Incredible India" (using Indian Tourism's motto, with exclamation marks for the first I's) at the Miller Outdoor Theatre, even as lightning bolts crackled and zig-zagged to earth behind the seats, beyond the hill that surrounds the performance bowl.
It was India's Independence Day, for goodness sakes, and the first ever collaboration between the 22 year-old Indian Performing Arts Samskriti (meaning cultural tradition) and the 21 year-old Consulate General of India in Houston. The new Consul General, Anupam Ray, who has been in his assignment only since May, has shown his flair for the unconventional and his fondness for Indian arts and literature when reaching out to the Indian community in the Bayou City. Since his arrival, he has enlisted the community in the International Day of Yoga, made a much heralded speech to the Indian Chamber of Commerce and at this event, shown his understanding of Indian song and dance in the immense pool of talent here which he intends to showcase wherever he can. He attended with his wife Dr. Amit Goldberg, his daughter and their son who fell asleep on his mother's shoulder as the evening wore on.
Jonathan Hollander's Durga Project by The Battery Dance Company of New York
Ray opened up the 2-hour program with a welcoming address in which he expressed his happiness at India's 70th Independence Day being celebrated with "such enthusiasm so far from its shores" adding "it is a day in which we remember the sacrifices of those who fought to bring liberty and democracy to our people." Early next morning, on August 15 itself, the Consulate celebrated with a flag-hoisting at the office on Scotland Street – another departure from the program that has traditionally been held at the Consul General's house – followed up with another flag hoisting at India House (see related stories).
Samskriti Executive Director, the renowned dancer Rathna Kumar, gave brief appropriate introductions backstage for each performance. "India is a land that is at once bewitching, diverse, mysterious, charming, colorful, enticing, inviting!", she remarked, "… with a rich tapestry of dances and songs that make the fabric of Indian culture so extraordinary and unique."
The evening's eight performances started with bhajans and patriotic songs by students of the Center for Indian Classical Music of Houston under the guidance of Executive Director Pandit Suman Ghosh. This was followed up by the dance "Elements", a contemporary interpretation of the five elements Water, Fire, Earth, Wind and Space seen as manifestations of the Creator and Destroyer, Shiva and performed by students of the Anjali Center for Performing Arts.
On the heels of this was the dance Tarangam, from Andhra Pradesh, with dancers balancing on rims of brass plates while singing a paean to the blue god, Krishna and choreographed by Vempati Chinna Satyam. This was followed by the graceful and statuesque style of Odissi dance by students of the Kalangan School of Odissi under Director Suradipta Datta and choreographed by Kelucharan Mahapatra. The classical dances were closed off with a Tillana in Bharatnatyam form again from the Anjali Center for Performing Arts, choreographed by Rathna Kumar.
Then came on two folk dances, a Bengali vibrant dance by Piyal Sengupta and Ensemble and a lively and colorful Gujarati raas by Roarin' Raas under captain Atish Patel.
The piece de resistance of the evening was the Durga Project by the Battery Dance Company of New York under Artistic Director and Choreographer Jonathan Hollander, a Fulbright Scholar to India and a great lover of Indian dance and music, who was on hand for the evening. The performance showed how malleable Indian music is – the heavy tempo, tabla and drum score was from Rajan and Sajan Mishra's Tarana Raga Durga and Garuda's Dream, produced by Sangita Sounds with table solos by Samir Chatterjee – and how it can lend itself seamlessly to Modern Dance in a harmonious coming together of the East and the West. The Battery Dancers Robin, Mira, Sean were joined by visiting guest artist Unnath Jain from India as they performed the highly sensual dance of a lovers triangle, redemption and forgiveness. They had performed a day earlier in Dallas and were to perform in New York the following weekend and both Hollander and Jain mingled with the crowd after the show.
Incredible India was made possible by grants from the Texas Commission on the Arts, the City of Houston through the Miller Theatre Advisory Board, and the Consulate General of India in Houston.


I am experimenting with taking amanitas at a very low dose daily as a mood enhancer. I've seen it referenced a few times in the literature and had it recommended to me by the guy who did my ibogaine treatment in Costa Rica. I've been trying it the past few days and I must say it's quite great. I'm curious if there are any side effects, but I haven't seen any yet and it's almost too good to be true!
Everything I read told me to tread lightly, start slow, and get a feel for how your body processes and interacts with amanitas. I'd echo that.
I started with a half gram of dried caps. I tore it up into a bunch of pill size pieces and swallowed them whole - I hate the taste of dried shrooms of any kind. This is a very low dose and not in any way enough to induce a psychedelic state. I started feeling a very warm energy all over my body after about an hour. I just felt a little happier and relaxed, but not intoxicated at all. I threw on my headphones, and with a little Family Hour in my ears I went on a bike ride. Everything was just a little brighter and I felt vibrant.
After about two hours I felt safe that I wasn't gonna get unexpectedly blasted, I took another half gram dose. Same deal, it just extended my elevated mood. I was experimenting with my wife and after the second half gram we were both noticeably more chatty with each other - smiling and having good-natured interactions. But in no way was it a feeling of intoxication - I can and did interact with the outside world just fine, great even.
I slightly upped my initial dose to about .7 or .8 grams to start with and then took a another half gram dose about 90 min in. Not too much of a difference in effect that I could notice - the same awesome vibrant, happy, light feeling. It's a weird mix in that it has a light sedative and light stimulative effect, in my experience.
I took 1.5 grams to start with - still a light dose. I felt like I was onto something. Great equilibrium and balance.
I'm absolutely convinced of the medicinal power of this fungus - and I'm a skeptic in the good sense of the word: extraordinary evidence for extraordinary claims. I've often been let down by herbal supplements whose promises and results didn't match up. Not the case with amanitas.
My plan is to keep slightly upping the dose until I'm starting with about 2 to 2.5 grams, but that's just to see what the difference in feeling is. Based on my experience I think anywhere from a half gram to 1.5 grams daily would be great as a supplement. If not daily, it'd be great as a mood enhancer for social situations or just kicking it around the house. I read that many cultures have used it this way, as a tonic, in addition to the shamanic purposes at higher doses. I read that it enhances the effects of alcohol and I can also attest to this - in a good way. I enjoyed a couple glasses of wine in the evening after taking the amanitas and it was quite nice.
I'm going out today to pick up empty gel caps from the health food store. I'm going to grind the dried amanitas up and cap into half gram and one gram doses. I hope this information is helpful! Peace.

The Plaintiffs in a robo call calls action lawsuit made a pretrial settlement alleges that Resort Marketing Group, Inc. ("RMG") violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA, when they made automated telephone calls to consumers to offer a free cruise with Carnival Corporation & PLC ("Carnival"), Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. ("Royal Caribbean"), and NCL (Bahamas), Ltd. ("Norwegian") (collectively "Cruise Defendants").
The Settlement includes people who received pre-recorded telephone calls between July of 2009 and March of 2014 on their residential or cellular telephone lines initiated by RMG during which RMG offered a free cruise with Carnival, Royal Caribbean, or Norwegian cruise lines as a promotion.
Rather than go to trial, the cruise lines decided to settle the suit (Charvat v. Carnival et al) and, in July, a judge granted a "preliminary approval of the settlement," which includes a fund worth between $7 million and $12.5 million — depending on the number of plaintiffs that come forward.
File a claim online or send completed paperwork by standard mail, citing a maximum of three calls (worth a potential $900). The lawsuit set up a website where consumers can check if their telephone numbers are in RMG's catalog.
The deadline to file a claim is Nov. 3 of this year, with a Final Approval Hearing scheduled for April 4, 2018.

Traffic Offenses May Mean Fines
COLUMBIA - Starting Wednesday, drivers can expect a new addition to Missouri's official rules of the road. Traffic offenses that take place near emergencies on the highway may lead to larger fines.
On top of any already existing penalties for violations regarding speeding or passing through an emergency zone with responders present, drivers could now receive an additional $250 dollar fine.
"I personally am fine with that fine, because I know I always try to get in the other lane. I know police officers are trying to walk around and I wouldn't want to hit anyone," said driver Emma Kessinger.
"I think that sounds ok with exceptions, because of course there are times when other cars won't let you pull over," said another driver, Ben Kreitner.
Offenses that may result in a fine include passing within a designated emergency zone while maintaining a speed at least 15 mph over the speed limit or using a lane that isn't designated for motorists.
Backers of the law maintain it is meant to protect law officers, medical responders, and firefighters during emergency situations.

Defense bill sails through Senate despite Guantanamo language
Isabelle Chapman
Opinion Journal: Closing Guantanamo Bay?
WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) -- The U.S. Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a sweeping defense policy bill that contains provisions that could make it more difficult for President Barack Obama to close the controversial detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The vote was 91-3 in favor of the measure, which authorizes more than $600 billion in defense spending and includes $5 billion in cuts not in an earlier version of the bill.
Congressional aides said they expect Obama will sign the revised bill, even with the Guantanamo restrictions, even though he vetoed the previous version.

The White House has not made his intentions clear.
Obama, who has vowed to close the prison before leaving office in 2017, said the Guantanamo language was one reason he vetoed the National Defense Authorization Act, known as the NDAA, last month.
Obama is expected to submit his plan to close the facility this week, but any plan would face stiff resistance in Congress, where Republicans hold majorities in both the Senate and House of Representatives.
The House passed the NDAA last week by 370-58. That margin, like the vote in the Senate, far exceeds the two-thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto.
Together with extending a ban on transferring any Guantanamo detainees to the United States, the bill also imposes new restrictions on transfers to third countries, including Libya, Syria, Yemen and Somalia.

Q: Need properties to pass to google chart javascript I am working with WordPress so I checked if it was a typical WordPress question, but it is a usual php and jQuery question.
I have a piece of code which is executed 12 times with different data. I have to collect this data with jQuery and pass it to another widget which will be shown only if I click a widget is clicked. The other widget must show the data of the clicked widget and present a google chart. The show on purpose and google chart thing is no problem, my only problem is to pass the data. I tried a lot of things but I am new to jQuery and have definitely a lack of skills at the moment so I hope you guys can help me. I have simplified the code to show you the examples and structure.
The code which will be executed 12 times:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="span1 <?php echo $color .' '. $styleName; ?>">

<?php echo $title; ?>

        <?php echo $currentValue; ?>

Last week:

            <?php echo $prevValue; ?>

The only difference between this widget and the other widget will be that in the class span1 will be span5.
To make a long story short: I need to collect the data of the variables so I can pass them to another widget, can somebody help me with this or push me in the right direction?

A: You can select values straight from html but better to use jQuery data.
HTML
<a href="javascript:void(0);" data-current="<?php echo $currentValue; ?>" data-prev="<?php echo $prevValue; ?>" data-title="<?php echo $title; ?>" class="span1 <?php echo $color .' '. $styleName; ?>">

<?php echo $title; ?>

        <?php echo $currentValue; ?>

Last week:

            <?php echo $prevValue; ?>

jQuery
$('body').on('click','.span1',function(){
    var title=$(this).data('title');
    var cur=$(this).data('current');
    var prev=$(this).data('prev');

    alert(title+': '+prev+' - '+cur);
});

Local activists rescue dogs from international meat trade
Photo courtesy of Se?N Rescue Sanctuary
The year is 2022, and in some parts of the world, people are still eating dogs. Some might argue that the act alone is barbaric; dogs, they might say, hold a special place in relation to humans. Others — whether vegetarians, vegans, or omnivores — might roll their eyes at the idea of canine exceptionalism, and ask why dogs are more deserving of our empathy than cows, chickens, or other animals.
Most can probably agree, though, that unnecessary suffering isn't a good thing for any animal. Yet the production and sale of dog meat persists in parts of Asia, even in the face of laws and regulations that ban the practice, and in ways that go beyond inhumane.
Humane Society International (HSI) estimates that 30 million dogs are killed for their meat across Asia each year, and HSI volunteers have harrowing stories of what that looks like. They tell of dogs packed onto trucks, visibly diseased, injured, and malnourished, and of slaughters by electrocution, beating, hanging, or boiling. If the dogs aren't born into the meat trade, they might be taken off the street, or even stolen from homes, according to accounts.
Readers hearing about this for the first time might wonder why the practice continues. For answers, I reached out to SēN Rescue Sanctuary, a nonprofit based in Elma, Wash., that works with HSI and two other rescue groups to save dogs from slaughter in South Korea.
SēN founder Sally Newberry said of dog farms, "I don't care that they eat [the dogs]. I care that [the dogs] are tortured. They think more the dog is tortured, the more hormones will be in the meat."
In some folk medicine traditions, Newberry went on, eating the hormone-rich meat is supposed to be good for men's libido, and help people stay cool in hot weather. "But studies have shown that that isn't true at all."
Newberry's tone was matter-of-fact. Her parents ran their own rescue nonprofit when she was growing up, so sordid details like these have been a part of her reality since she was a child. In the nine years she has kept SēN running, she has rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed over 900 dogs from the dog-meat trade in South Korea.
That is a staggering number considering the preparations needed. SēN usually transports one dog at a time. Rescues are rehabilitated, vaccinated, and treated for injuries, which can involve surgery. Then they need to be transported to the US, cleared with customs, and handed off to their new owners.
"I've had some people wait months before they see their dog," Newberry said.
But every step is important; these rescues aren't just strays from the pound; they're dogs with a past of unspeakable abuse and neglect.
SēN stays open seven days a week to answer calls from rescuers about how to treat a dog with such a background. Carlos Jimenez is one such rescuer. He visited Seattle during this year's Pride weekend to pick up a SēN rescue and add it to his and his wife Anela's pack. Jimenez has adopted from a few organizations, and he seemed to favor SēN's practices the most.
One rescue he worked with transported dogs "like livestock," Jimenez said, with the crates stacked on top of each other in trucks. "And I've driven livestock before. Not even cows are treated that bad."
The same nonprofit allegedly charged Jimenez and his wife $6,000, almost twice as much as the original fee, and a little under 12 times what SēN charges. So for adopters, it's worth it to carefully consider one's choice of nonprofit, since not all of them operate with the same care.
On a lighter note, the practice of eating dog meat has greatly diminished in many Asian countries over the last decade alone. In countries where the sale of dog meat isn't already illegal, campaigns and proposals are rising to change that.
"There are so many of these meat farms. That won't change overnight," Newberry said, but she was hopeful about the future.
"Younger generations can make the biggest difference."

E.D.Va.
Before NIEMEYER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
Howard Powe, a retired Navy Lieutenant Commander, applied to the Board for Correction of Naval Records (BCNR) requesting removal of a letter of reprimand and detachment for cause from his military personnel file and reinstatement to the list for promotion to the rank of Commander. The BCNR denied Powe's application, and Powe filed a second application raising an additional argument. The BCNR denied the second application, and Powe appealed. On review of the BCNR's decision pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.A. Secs. 701-06 (West 1977), the district court granted the Secretary summary judgment. We affirm.
Powe was the executive officer and navigator of the USS De Wert when that ship ran aground in the Gray Canal, near the Straits of Magellan, on September 23, 1987. The investigating officer noted administrative errors and weaknesses in the navigation of the ship, but concluded that the grounding was caused by an inaccurate nautical chart and recommended that no punitive action be taken.
On March 19, 1988, the De Wert ran aground again in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Powe was still serving as the ship's executive officer and navigator. At this point, Powe had been selected for promotion to Commander, nominated for the promotion by the President, and confirmed by the Senate; only the effective date of the promotion was pending. The officer who investigated the second grounding opined that Powe had been derelict in his duties and recommended that Powe receive a punitive letter of reprimand.
That Powe had been involved in a second grounding apparently raised new concerns regarding his conduct during the Gray Canal incident. The Navy scheduled a nonjudicial punishment hearing, also known as an Admiral's mast, to determine whether Powe was derelict in his duties or improperly hazarded the ship during either the Gray Canal or Guantanamo Bay grounding.
The Navy offered Powe the opportunity to demand trial by courtmartial in lieu of a nonjudicial punishment hearing and furnished him a lawyer. Powe accepted the nonjudicial punishment hearing. He contends that he did not demand a court-martial because his Navy-appointed lawyer incorrectly advised him that nonjudicial punishment could not serve as a basis for removing him from the promotion list.
After the nonjudicial punishment hearing, Powe was issued a punitive letter of reprimand for the Guantanamo Bay grounding and a nonpunitive letter of caution for the Gray Canal incident. The nonpunitive letter stated that it would not become part of Powe's official record. Powe appealed the punitive action against him and his appeal was denied.
While Powe's appeal was pending the Commander of Cruiser-Destroyer Group Two recommended that Powe be detached from his ship for cause and removed from the promotion list. The Commander's recommendation twice referred to the nonpunitive letter of caution for the Gray Canal incident, in violation of a Navy regulation which provides that nonpunitive letters are private correspondence and are not part of the recipient's official records. Manual of the Judge Advocate General Sec. 0111(d).
On January 12, 1989, Powe filed an application with the BCNR requesting removal of the letter of reprimand from his record, reversal of the detachment for cause, and reinstatement to the rank of Commander. Powe's primary contentions were that evidence was withheld by the investigating officer, the investigating officer was not a disinterested party, and unlawful command influence had tainted the proceedings against him. He also complained of ineffective assistance of counsel and that other officers had been promoted despite committing equally serious infractions.
The BCNR denied Powe's application. Powe filed suit in the district court seeking review of the BCNR's decision, but voluntarily dismissed the complaint in order to have the BCNR reconsider his application. His second application raised a new argument, that the improper references to the nonpunitive letter invalidated his nonjudicial punishment.
The BCNR denied Powe's second application as well. Powe again filed suit, seeking to have the court direct the Secretary to remove the reprimand and detachment for cause from his record and set aside his removal from the promotion list. He sought no monetary damages. The Secretary moved alternatively for dismissal or summary judgment, and Powe moved for summary judgment.
The district court granted the Secretary summary judgment. It found that Powe was not prejudiced by the references to the nonpunitive letter because the Navy properly considered the underlying Gray Canal incident, and that Powe's claim of misadvice of counsel was properly disregarded because the only evidence supporting that claim was Powe's bare allegation. It found that Powe's other assertions of error did not warrant reversal. Powe now appeals.
On March 1, 1994, Powe voluntarily retired from the Navy. He was scheduled to retire in July, 1994.
The Tucker Act gives the federal district courts concurrent jurisdiction with the Claims Court for claims based in contract or federal law seeking money damages not exceeding $10,000 from the United States. 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1346(a)(2) (West 1993). When subject matter jurisdiction in the district court is based, in whole or in part, on the Tucker Act, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has exclusive appellate jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1295(a)(2) (West 1993); Van Drasek v. Lehman, 762 F.2d 1065, 1068 (D.C.Cir.1985).
The Secretary contends that because Powe retired voluntarily March 1, 1994, four months before he was required to do so, the only benefit he could gain from a backdated promotion to Commander is back pay and increased retirement. Thus, although Powe's suit does not seek monetary damages, its ultimate goal is monetary relief. The Secretary concludes that Powe's action arises under the Tucker Act, and the Federal Circuit has exclusive jurisdiction over this appeal.
A suit which does not seek monetary damages does not arise under the Tucker Act simply because the plaintiff's success will result in eventual monetary gain from the government. Thus, a suit seeking a military discharge upgrade is not for money damages, even though an upgrade would entitle the recipient to payment for leave accrued at the time of discharge. Vietnam Veterans of Am. v. Secretary of the Navy, 843 F.2d 528, 534-35 (D.C.Cir.1988). Likewise, a suit for reinstatement does not arise under the Tucker Act since money damages were not sought, even though back pay would be awarded if reinstatement were granted. Ben-Shalom v. Secretary of the Army, 807 F.2d 982, 988 (Fed. Cir.1986).
Powe's suit does not seek monetary damages. Therefore, it does not arise under the Tucker Act and jurisdiction in this court is proper.
The district court's decision granting summary judgment is reviewed de novo. Felty v. Graves-Humphries Co., 818 F.2d 1126, 1127 (4th Cir.1987). Summary judgment is proper when there is no genuine dispute of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c); McKinney v. Board of Trustees of Md. Community College, 955 F.2d 924, 928 (4th Cir.1992). The decision of the BCNR may be set aside if it is arbitrary, capricious, or not based on substantial evidence. See Chappell v. Wallace, 462 U.S. 296, 303 (1983).
10 U.S.C.A. Sec. 1552(a) provides for correction of military records when the Secretary of a military branch, acting through a board of correction, deems it "necessary to correct an error or remove an injustice." A board for correction of military records may decline to make a correction "if it determines that insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice." 32 C.F.R. Sec. 723.3(e)(2) (1993).
On appeal, Powe contends that the district court erred in granting the Secretary summary judgment. He argues that his nonjudicial punishment and consequent detachment for cause and removal from the promotion list are invalid because they are the result of improper consideration of the nonpunitive letter and because he accepted nonjudicial punishment based on his Navy lawyer's incorrect legal advice. He also argues that the BCNR failed to adequately address his arguments that (1) his punishment was more severe than that received by others who committed offenses of equal or greater gravity, (2) the officer investigating the Guantanamo Bay incident was an interested party, and (3) a reversal of Navy policy which at the time of the groundings required a ship's executive officer to also serve as navigator should be taken into account in evaluating his conduct.
The district court granted summary judgment because it found that the evidence does not support Powe's assertion that the BCNR's decision was arbitrary, capricious, and not based on substantial evidence. After a careful review of the record, study of the briefs and legal authorities, and consideration of the oral arguments, we agree, and therefore affirm.

Evaluate the limit of f(x)=(x^3-a^3)/(x^10-a^10) when x tends to a.?
now x=a+e. e is a small number.
x¹⁰ -a¹⁰ = 10 a⁹ e. The ration = 3/10 a⁻⁷. This is the limit.
When x → a there is a problem because the denominator is null.

Transcript: Head Coach Joe Judge
Eric from BBI : Admin : 9/6/2020 4:49 pm
Head Coach Joe Judge
Opening Statement: I appreciate your patience. I apologize for the slight delay. I got caught up with a player and didn't want to cut that conversation short, so I appreciate you guys staying with us. Since the conclusion of practice the other day, we've really been focused full-time on the roster development, working down through the 53 cuts as well as developing our practice squad. As the actual practice squad is finalized, we'll make sure to release that to you. I don't want to give you any information that isn't 100 percent, so we'll wait until that's finalized in a whole. I'd like to just go ahead and thank all of the players that aren't going to be with the program at this point. Everybody we've had in at training camp did a tremendous job, showed a lot or urgency and effort. We really appreciate and respect every player that came through here. To answer your question, yes, we're going to keep every player on a short list to bring them back. We have a lot of respect for the guys who went through our program. Obviously, they know our system. In any year, let alone a year like this year, we're going to have to make sure that we have guys in the fold that we know, we trust, and that know our system and would be able to carry on in a short time period going forward. On that note right here, I'll open it up to any questions you may have.
Q: Two for you if I may. First of all, I think some people might have been caught by surprise with Ryan Connelly being let go yesterday. Just some thoughts on what went into that decision? Then just your thoughts on the wide receiver depth, especially moving on from Corey Coleman today, given that none of the top three wide receivers played all 16 games last year?
A: First off, we're pleased with the wide receiver depth we have. I think we're going into it right now with some speed at the position. That's something we're definitely looking to add right there. I think we have good position flexibility with all of our skill players on offense. We feel good with where we're at right now. Look, it's the National Football League. We're always looking to improve through our own roster development, develop through our practice squad, and throughout the year as different moves happen on different rosters, that can obviously impact our own roster as well. With Ryan, we have a lot of respect for Ryan. He's a good football player. We had to make the decision ultimately that was best for us. We wish him good luck. If things worked out perfectly for us, we would have loved to have him back on the practice squad. We didn't expect that to happen to be honest with you because he's a good, accomplished player and there are a lot of teams in the league that were going to be looking to claim him. We wish him good luck in Minnesota and look forward to seeing him play.
Q: What do you like about the three guys you claimed today? Separately, personally for you, has this been a tough couple of days for you delivering this news? You said you wish you could have kept all of these guys. What's it been like for you?
A: This is not a fun part of the business. This is a very tough time of the year for every player and every coach. There are guys in the locker room who are seeing teammates walk out the door. There are coaches who invested a whole lot personally in players to develop them. The reality in this league is you can't keep everybody, and that's just the nature of the business. It's not an easy few days. They're not easy conversations. You want to make sure you give every player the direct truth on why the move was made, what we think they can work on going forward to get themselves the best chance, and really open it up for any questions the players may have so that you can always give them all the information necessary for them to improve in their craft. In terms of the guys that we've added to the roster, each one answers specific needs at that position group, really as far as establishing more depth and giving us some versatility within the position. We were able to add some speed at the skill positions, safety and receiver, obviously. The offensive line gives us some position flexibility with the long body of Jackson (Barton) coming in here. That'll be some moves. We're going to work on getting these guys caught up to speed on our systems, on our calls and our terminology. It's our priority right now as coaches to get them going as fast as possible.
Q: I was wondering if Ryan Connelly was a health-related decision for you guys? If he just didn't have enough time to get on the field. Also, are you concerned about your linebacker depth with him obviously, and David Mayo hurt as well?
A: First, I'll say Ryan was obviously healthy and he's healthy going into Minnesota, so we wish him the best of luck. We feel good right now about our linebacker depth. We have to get everybody on the roster developed at all the positions and building our versatility at each spot. Right now, we feel comfortable with where we're at, but we have to push to improve going forward.
Q: We didn't have a chance to talk to you since the trade became final, but what do you like in Isaac Yiadom and how quickly can you get him up to speed to be a factor in the secondary?
A: He's been in here today already kind of talking through some different things, trying to get caught up to speed. He has an iPad, he has a playbook and availability. We like the way he plays on the line of scrimmage. He has some experience within the league. That goes a little bit of ways, but it's our job as coaches to get him caught up to our system as fast as possible. There won't be much carryover necessarily from the other system, but we try to keep as many of the techniques similar for him so he can carry over as fast as possible. But we like the energy and effort he plays with, we like the physicality he shows on the line of scrimmage, and obviously, this is a guy that we remember when he came out of college not too long ago in the draft. We've known about this guy in the league for a while.
Q: With you being up in New England and the time when he was at BC. Were you familiar with him up there maybe even more so than you would have been normally for a guy who's out there?
A: I don't know more so just because of the location of the two programs, but I was familiar with him coming out, absolutely.
Q: I wanted to follow up on those cornerbacks. Can you have them up to speed enough to possibly start for you on Monday night?
A: We'll have to wait and see. I can't answer that right now, but we're definitely going to give them all the information we can to make sure we put them in a position to play to their strengths.
Q: You've kind of had this question since May, who's going to replace DeAndre Baker? Do you feel like you've answered that question with this roster?
A: We're going to see. Right now, we're looking to play as many of our players as possible at those positions. Keep them fresh and rotate. One thing we haven't had yet is a preseason game or a regular season game yet obviously. We're going to make sure we use all of our guys, roll them on through, and we'll see who performs the best. Whoever the hot hand is we may go with, but we're going to make sure we keep rolling them on through and building the experience of the group as a whole.
Q: You talked about the unpleasantness of what this situation is like for a head coach. Telling players they are gone. Can you fast forward to tomorrow when you get your team on the field for the first time. It will be the 53 and the practice squad guys. Will that be a moment where you look around and now alright we are on to the next phase here? This is the team getting ready to play the Steelers.
A: Well I think it's just a natural transition from training camp to regular season Week one. Tomorrow for us will be about an hour and half on the grass moving around. They've had several days off in a row. We have to knock the rust off of them, have them break a sweat. Get some conditioning in, work on some fundamentals and some specifics for us as a team. I don't really go into any one day and look at it as a defining moment in the season. I think it's a natural transition. We have to change the way we think and the way we prepare from preseason now into the regular season where we have a defined opponent to work against. The playbook is not a general overview of install, it's specific towards an opponent and how we are going to play next Monday.
Q: I know when we spoke about the possibility of quarantining a quarterback, it was a hypothetical. Now that we're here, what do you plan to do with Cooper? Is he just going to a part of the quarterback room and be a part of practice? Do you do something to keep him separate?
A: At this moment in time, we're going to keep him in the building and working with the team. We've discussed those hypotheticals. I think the one thing we have a lot of confidence in right now are protocols we have. The daily testing has been effective for not only us, but for the league as a whole. We're going to keep the discipline of what we do on a daily basis. This is a guy we want to keep in the program, keep developing, keep involved in game plans. Keep the rest of our team as a whole.
Q: People might look at it from a distance and say Ryan Connelly was a last year draft pick. This is now Joe's team. He's the one driving this, making these decisions and making it his roster. What do you feel about that, about this being your roster? By that, I don't mean you are making the decisions on your own. I mean sort of molding it to what you're looking for in players and specifically talent wise and ability.
A: All the players that we kept on our 53 and our practice squad are guys that we think give us versatility and have the ability to develop and keep shaping this roster in a positive way. Really, this is our team, this is the New York Giants' team. We look at this, everyone in here is in it together, the coaches, players and personnel. We're pleased with the players we have. Again, it's the National Football League, we're always looking to sharpen and develop. There's natural attrition throughout the year so we have to be aware of everyone else who is involved in the league on transaction moves.
JJ era is soon to begin!

Man Judge is just such a great listen/read

Really hope he's for a long time
Joe Judge didn't really answer the question
M.S. : 9/6/2020 5:57 pm : link
below, nor would I ever expect him too, but that doesn't make the question irrelevant nor unimportant.
It's probably the worst kept secret in the NFL, but when a new coaching regime takes over, certain players from the former regime will get a gentle shove out the door as the current regime moves forward with its first draft class. I believe Ryan Connelly is just one more example of a different regime guy being shown the door.
It's also interesting to note that in a prior question, Joe Judge said that Ryan Connelly is healthy. I'm not sure if that's entirely true -- it may be a case of Joe Judge trying to protect Ryan Connelly a bit as he starts he career with the Minnesota Vikings.

He also said that he is a good accomplished football player and that they did not expect to be able to put him on the practice squad.
The abbreviated training camp hurt him. The Giants did not have a chance to really seem him all that much against competition to see how the knee was really doing imo. Risky to keep him and they felt they have someone with as much if not more potential who can assist on specials as well imo.
MAYBE JJ
Payasdaddy : 9/6/2020 6:20 pm : link
likes crowder and downs upside better?
Maybe a guy like coleman is redundant to a slayton?
could be bringing in a taller WR?
I have to trust these guys know what there watching
its not like we are giving up future all pro's here
JJ obviously thinks he can develop some guys
Lets give him the season to find out
Downs beat out Connelly

Brunson and Crowder are going to be forces on Special Teams.

Bill2 : 9/6/2020 7:32 pm : link
But look at how many times his answer to Connelly questions was followed by a comment about "wanting positional flexibility"
Imo, Connelly may be scheme specific and not a choice ( his or ours) for special teams.
Lastly, players with leg injuries tend to have more leg injuries, especially in the short term. In a covid year, being able to play matters a lot.
We should be worried about CB, not Connelly.

I just posted the same speculation on the other Connelly thread - that's exactly how I read his comments. "Ryan is a good accomplished player" but not what we are specifically looking for.
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 9/6/2020 7:54 pm : link
I am amazed at how he is able to answer a question in a thoughtful manner without giving away anything important. Surprising for a first-year coach. Never wanders into the dead-end but never gives an answer that doesn't have some substance. He is impressive.
Hopefully, he can make these guys win.

Sounds reasonable, you could be right.
I hear ya, especially regarding "positional flexibility." Joe Judge has mentioned that several times in various contexts.

Amen to that. Our new Head Coach definitely seems pretty buttoned up, and it's very clear he is throwing his all into this job.

at Conelly's one sack and two interceptions, but what about all the other plays outside of those three? Shoot, I remember one of the interceptions was when Winston threw it right in his gut. Coaches are evaluating players based on more than 3 highlight film plays. He may end up being a good player in this league, but some people are acting like they cut a pro bowler.

Bill2, I agree with your read. What undercuts the leg injury thesis is that Downs missed ~ year with a knee injury, is why (in response to a poster's tape of him at Cal, was it?), I thought his lower body looked 'slender': can his legs/knees hold up vs the pounding of ILB in NFL?
JJ is flat out articulate
His interviews read like well developed, written answers, grammar, flow, staying on topic. As said above, content is substantive, responsive, and sensitive to his players, former players, his team now.

1 He's healthy
2 Requisite professional courtesy extended to a serious football player .
3. Judge thinks they had better .
4. Connelly can be motivated to prove the Giants wrong
5. The Covid didn't cost him anything .
6. Maybe his tape did . Instead of impressing the new staff , they might have found it incriminating .
Judge has good Coach Speak . He's off to an excellent start . I wish him a long, successful run as Giants HC

Put it best, that it's a pretty uneventful cut down day when a 5th round pick with 3 career starts and 20 tackles is the big news. I liked him too but look at the facts, 3 starts, torn ACL, 5th round pick with marginal speed and no position flexibility or special teams ability. When the emotional response calms, the facts really tell you all you need to know.

Cu(I)-incorporation strategy for developing styrene selective adsorbents
Seung Ik Kim, Ah Reum Kim, Hyun Jin Bae, Seo Yul Kim, Seenu Ravi, Ki Chul Kim, Youn Sang Bae
Developing styrene (ST) selective adsorbents is an important issue in the petrochemical industry because ST is a crucial precursor for many useful materials. Since ST often presents as mixtures containing ethylbenzene (EB), an effective adsorbent having high ST selectivity over EB, large ST adsorption capacity, and good repeated adsorption/desorption is needed. We hypothesized that Cu(I) ions could provide a special ST selectivity due to unsaturated π-orbitals in ST. We have successfully loaded Cu(I) ions within a mesoporous metal–organic framework (MOF) by using redox-active Fe(II) sites in the MOF. By control experiments for the MOFs with and without Cu(I) ions, we verified for the first time that Cu(I) ions have strong ST selectivity over EB. The Cu(I)-loaded MOF (Cu(M)@MIL-100(Fe)) shows the largest ST uptakes and the highest ST/EB selectivity among the reported values for MOF adsorbents. Additionally, Cu(M)@MIL-100(Fe) maintains its good performance for several cycles. These indicate that Cu(M)@MIL-100(Fe) is a prospective adsorbent for ST/EB separation. We believe this Cu(I) incorporation strategy could open a new way to develop styrene selective adsorbents.

Jacksonville, Fla. — Jaguars running back Denard Robinson insists he wasn't under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he fell asleep behind the wheel of his car that rolled through a red light and into a retention pond.
Robinson was cited for careless driving a week after the July 3 accident.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office's began an investigation of officers who responded to the scene.
"I feel blessed, man," Robinson said Thursday after the team's first training camp practice.
"It could have been a situation where I couldn't be talking to y'all right now. The situation could have been way worse than that. I could have hurt somebody or killed somebody. I'm truly blessed that nothing happened to nobody.
"It's one of those things that open your eyes and say you've got to count your blessing, and I understand that."
Robinson said he "ended up dozing off" at the intersection a little after 4 a.m. after a "busy day."
The former Michigan star added he "probably should have just stayed in."
Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell believes his surgically repaired right knee feels so good he could play "tomorrow."
The wait will be considerably longer for the former Michigan State star if his appeal for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy is denied.
While Bell apologized for being a distraction, he declined to get into specifics, saying only he was notified in March that he'd been suspended.
ESPN.com reported Bell missed a drug test.

One challenge for the 2014-MY has been the increased volume of fleet vehicles going to upfitters, which has resulted in capacity issues. With the increasing demand and growth of the commercial truck and van segments, particularly among utilities and service industries, the percentage of upfitted vehicles is growing.
"Upfitters are feeling the pressure of increased demand. Huge influxes of vehicles needing upfitting have left some installers overwhelmed at times, and, in a few instances, we have moved trucks from one installer to another to meet delivery expectations," said Jan Freund, director of manufacturer relations at Wheels Inc.
There have been significant product backlogs at the body companies as they struggle to keep pace with the sharp increase in demand after having dramatically pared back their workforces during the 2008-2010 economic downturn. In addition, some upfitters experienced lead time increases due to supplier constraints, resulting in parts shortages.
Order-to-delivery time on large trucks keeps getting longer with upfitters. In fact, some fleets have stopped placing factory orders, and now purchase most of their vehicle chassis from bailment pools, an inventory of already built vehicles on consignment at body companies.
"All manufacturers experienced some logjams at the upfitters. Limited numbers of transportation haulers, rail cars, and truck carriers allow for a limited number of vehicles that can be returned to the transportation hubs. All manufacturers' provide upfitters weekly status reports, which allow them to plan for incoming inventory and minimize delays. Manufacturers monitor order volumes to best control the flow of large upfit ordering clients during the heavy spring order cycles that challenge the logistics system. This year, upfitter logjams seemed to be tied to the rail-car shortages and winter weather delays," said Jim Tangney, VP of vehicle acquisitions at Emkay.
As in past years, a shortage of rail cars contributed to OTD delays by causing vehicles to stay in storage until a sufficient number of rail cars arrived. "Vehicle delays at the upfitter caused large groups to arrive at once, creating a backlog for the vendor. Once an upfit is complete, delays also occur when trying to get vehicles back into traffic," said Elizabeth Kelly, director of operations, vehicle acquisition at LeasePlan USA.
Compounding the problems at the upfitters was the limited number of transportation haulers available to return upfitted vehicles to the OEM distribution system. In some cases, upfitted units awaiting shipment have been held up due to limited space at the assembly plants and carrier delays, according to Freund.
The upfitting industry is becoming much more complex with trans-border operations, which, in the process, produces "teething" pains. "The Ram ProMaster had substantial delivery delays due to quality holds for this new model, along with the upfit process that was implemented by Chrysler. Vehicles are built in Mexico and the upfit installer's location is near the plant; however, the upfit suppliers are located in the U.S. Materials have to ship to Mexico and, if the materials are not packaged correctly, they are held at customs, and new parts need to be distributed. Also, since the installer was not completely familiar with the supplier's installation process, training with the U.S. suppliers was necessary, which also contributed to these delays," said Cindy Gomez, director of vehicle acquisition services at Donlen.
The challenges faced by the upfitting industry can best be summed up by an industry icon, the late George Frink, who was fond of saying: "And this, too, shall pass." The solution to these challenges is constant communication with the upfitters, keeping them informed of vehicle production schedules, and helping ensure they meet commitment dates.

He opened his black leather wallet to the familiar emptiness he was accustomed to. Not to be thwarted he thrust his hands into his blue jeans pockets. Finding them empty he turned them inside out. This extra effort only produced the discovery of a hole. Finally he reached inside his black jacket to find the feel of paper. "Hope it's a twenty, hope it's a twenty..." began a mantra. Upon examination it was a lowly Lincoln .
Gazing upon the gray haired woman behind the newspaper stand he smacked the green paper upon the counter. "A dozen, carnations please," he said with enthusiasm.
"She'll remember the roses," spoke the ancient proprietor.
The suggestion struck James in an awkward manner. Tonight was a once in a life time event. He had met the girl, no, the exact woman of his dreams. But roses were twenty dollars a dozen while the asking price of the carnations was an affordable five. "A dozen carnations," he repeated insistently.
The elderly woman wobbled to the carnation rack and pulled out a dozen carnations consisting of equal portions of pink, white and red; she liberally mixed in some white baby's breath and green leaves. Hobbling back the woman hand them to the eager patron. Immediately he put them to his nose and sniffed a sniff of delight.
"She'll remember the roses," the saleslady tried a final time.
Snatching the flowers with venom the young man turned away. James hid the flowers behind his back and took broad strides towards his black hair beauty. The moonlight shined majestic with stars twinkling and blinking approval. James was oblivious to the scenery focused solely on his true love. "Here Laura," said the young Romeo fighting his shyness, "these are for you." Like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat the young lover presented the dozen carnations.
From his vantage point in the woods the man could see and hear everything that was going on. His eyes watched intensely recording every last movement with intensity.
"Why they're beautiful," said Laura, her face an explosion of glee.
"Just like you," said James awkwardly.
And then it happened that magical moment, she kissed him. It was the summation of all the love poems and all the philosophies of kindness rolled into one and then some. James needless to say was overwhelmed. The connection on the lips lingered as the young couple interlocked their hands. Retreating from the embrace the hands remained held as they began the long trek to Laura's dormitory.
The man sat in the woods concealed watching every single step. He gazed on until the couple vanished in the horizon. He knew it was a night the young man would never forget. In fact the young man would be haunted by that moment every single day of his life. For you see the man in the woods was James.
It took forty years for James to manage the time travel adventure. Not only did he have to secure the exuberant funds but he had to satisfy certain authorities about his intentions. Time travel is serious business. Life is incurably infinite. Mathematical equations fail when you just factor in one variation in the time stream. Theoretically one slight change could dramatically alter realities in unthinkable ways.
James had fallen in love with Laura. She sealed it with a kiss. In fairy tales when a man kisses a woman in true love the bond is eternal. However James knew from the harsh reality of his history that life was no fantasy. Laura would walk out of his life crushing his heart forever.
The watch on James' wrist buzzed indicating it was time to return from whence he came. He scanned the area making sure it was entirely vacant except for the old lady attending the news stand by the bus stop. Quickly James fled his place of concealment. With deliberate speed he hustled towards the field far away from the bus stop. However as he made his escape a sobbing voice of familiarity paralyzed him causing him to freeze in stillness.
Glancing up he gazed at the news stand full of magazines, candies, and other assorted goods for sale. The ancient lady lifted her head tears steaming down her eyes as she wept. James looked and despite long years he recognized the face. It was none other then Laura.
James was overcome with the realization that he was not the only one to fall in love that night, nor was he the only one to travel in time searching for answers. Somehow life was vibrant and new, not roses but true to reality, carnations.


For individual numbering of Doors, Rooms, Spaces, etc., the "Select Element" method is the best choice. Using this method, each element will have the number changed as the element is selected. Select either the element or the tag to make a change to the parameter specified within the active Rule.
Refer to the IdeateApps for Revit Getting Started Guide from the Ideate ReNumber Help menu for an exercise demonstrating this functionality.
Ideate ReNumber supports using a Detail Line as a way of describing a selection of elements. There are two Path-based options: Select Path — Crossing and Select Path — Vertex.
Not all view types can take advantage of the Path numbering methods. Views that can support the Path selection methods include: Floor Plans, Reflected Ceiling Plans, Sections, Elevations, Sheets, Drafting Views, Detail Views, Legends, and Area Plans.
TIP: The Detail Line(s) used for either Path method can be hidden in the View for future use or saved as a Group. If you hide them within the View you can use the Reveal Hidden Elements tool to display the line and then use Ideate ReNumber while still in this mode.
When the "Select Path — Crossing" method is selected you can select an existing Detail Line or create a new line. The elements that are intersected by this line will be included in a Preview list for review and refinement. This method is ideal for use in numbering elements that need to be numbered in a linear fashion, such as Parking or Curtain Panels.
The "Select Path — Vertex" method is similar to the Crossing method with the exception that instead of the line intersections defining the elements, the line vertex location defines the elements. This method is ideally suited for numbering Rooms, Space, or any other element that may need to be ordered in a non-linear fashion.
TIP: If an element is visible in a wireframe view, Ideate ReNumber will check if the bounding box of that element visibly intersects the renumbering path.
