Okay, I know this is Martha Stewart-ish. But, I can’t be the only one wondering how to use up those little slivers. Well, there’s a vid about it, so obviously not. Yay, YouTube!

One tip I’ll mention in addition to this vid is something I read online: to grate the soap beforehand. I believe it ensures a smoother end product.

I wandered down to the local drift track (full lock motor sport park aka. Archerfield) and was pleasantly surprised to spot this KE2X corolla out the front

Sporting14×7’s (unknown brand rims) with Falken 194/45 R14 tyres. A rare site indeed in OZ seeing the smallest profile off the shelf for most R14’s is a 60 profile if you’re lucky.

The car its self was rather tidy with what seamed like its original paint job helping its nick name along, fender mirrors and all the trim was intact. The owner had converted the front end to ke70 struts to get around the problem of ever so hard to find 4×110 PCD rims in decent size/offset and had axles in 4×114.3 in waiting for the rear (hence not running the mesh rims all round)

The owner told me he had plans on running coilovers to put the car an inch or two lower, wider rims with bolt on over fenders to suit and 185/45 tyres (if I remember correctly)

The fitment on the front was nice in stock guards so im looking forward to seeing pics of him running the mesh all round or his next set of rims.

Sorry about the photo quality as they were taken on my mobile phone.

Recently I decided I wanted to be able to backlight semi-transparent acrylic paintings, and initially I thought about simply painting on a thick mylar, but I came up with a better idea. Here is an 8″x8″ study, a sculptural painting made by collaging acrylic skin and painting on the resulting idea: an acrylic painting support made of acrylic medium and a mesh. It can be bent/molded into a variety of three dimensional forms in addition to maintaining some transparency.

Try to ignore the hideous composition. If I thought it was worth naming it would be called “I Grew Up in the ’80s”. Instead, I’ve labeled it “Mesh Study I” and will just keep it for posterity as a first. I’ll have to hang it in a cluttered corner of my future studio. Heh.

What a great day was had by all at last Friday’s Art Class! This was the last in a series of 5 workshops I conducted on abstract art. We’d had up to 16 participants, but this workshop only realised 6. What a time we had!

We explored abstraction with all sorts of art materials. Spray paint, acrylics, chalks, oil pastels, inks, pencils, felt pens and all manner of stencil materials were combined in a creative frenzy.

The idea was to ‘play’ with spray cans, then decide which of the paintings were capable of being resolved as finished pieces of art.

The first stage was quite subconscious, the second, conscious.

The 4 images featured today are all quite fascinating in their composition.

We had a limited colour palette, but that didn’t stop anyone from producing finished, meaningful work.

More tomorrow!

Most of the time, you’ll need a circle. Other than using the ” Circle Script ” by XlegoX, you can do this. It may not ” Feel ” as realistic, but It uses a lot less bricks.

Get a brick, or a part.

A Part.

Then,  Insert a Cylinder Mesh.

To do this, go to Insert, and press CylinderMesh.

And… YOU’RE DONE!

REENKARNASYON (yeni bir bedenle dünyaya tekrar gelme) konusunun gündeme geldiği her yerde şunun altını mutlaka çizmişizdir: Reenkarnasyon anlayışı, Kur’an’ın Ahiret ve haşir inancını en küçük anlamda zedeleyecek bir şekle dönüştüğünde onu kaldırır atarız.O halde, reenkarnasyonun Kur’an’ın verileri açısından kabul veya reddi, bu kavrama yüklenen anlama bağlı olacaktır.Biz burada üç noktaya değineceğiz!

Birincisi şudur:

İslam din bilginleri, reenkarnasyon konusunda üçe ayrılmışlardır:

1. Kavramı tümden reddedenler,

2. Herkes için işleyen bir kural olarak benimseyenler,

3. Bazı insanlar için işleyen istisnaî bir reenkarnasyonu kabul edenler.

Tümden reddedenlerin şöyle bir gerekçeleri vardır: Böyle bir kabulün, Hint sistemlerindeki tenasüh anlayışına kapı aralayarak Kur’an’ın haşir inancını zedeleyeceği endişesi… Onlar, böyle bir endişenin varlığı yüzündendir ki Kur’an’ın reenkarnasyona işaret eden ayetlerini tevil ile şu hükümde birleşirler:

‘Kur’an, reenkarnasyon düşüncesine kapalıdır.’

Onlar bazen şöyle de derler:

‘Bu mesele setredilmiştir, açmayın!’

Kavramı kabul edip herkes için sürekli işlediğini söyleyenlere göre, tekrar bedenlenme süreklidir ve bunun, ahiret inancını zedeleyen bir yanı da yoktur. İslam düşüncesine damga vurmuş bulunan İhvanussafa ekolü, safî düşüncenin önemli bazı temsilcileri ve bazı gelenekçi müfessirler bu anlayışı paylaşmaktadır.

Müfessir Süleyman Ateş’le bizim de katıldığımız bir grup ise şu görüşün Kur’an’a uygunluğu kanısındadır:

Reenkarnasyon konusu Kur’an’ın ‘müteşa¡bih’ (yoruma açık) dediği alana giren konulardandır. Yani bu konuda kesin ve tartışmasız hüküm verilemez. Sadece ihtimaller sıralanır.

‘Kesin doğruyu Allah bilir’ diyerek ihtimalleri sıraladığımızda biz şu ihtimali öne çıkarıyoruz:

Reenkarnasyonun kabulü, eğer mahşer inancını başka gerekçelerle reddetmiyorsanız, Ahiret inancıyla çelişmez. Ahiretteki dirilme (ba’s), son hesap günü için bir dirilmedir.

Kur’an, mahşerle dünya arası bir devreden söz ediyor. Bu devre, berzahtır. (bk. Müminun, 100)

Reenkarnasyon, şöyle veya böyle, berzah sürecinde söz konusu olur. Ruh, bir yerine birkaç kez bedenlenmekle berzahın dışına çıkmaz. Mahşer ve hesap, tüm ihtişamıyla bakidir. Ve herkes haşrolacaktır. Dünyaya ister bir kez gelin, ister beş kez, sonunda bedenlenip hesaba çekileceksiniz.

Beden birkaç kez değişebilir ama, ruh ve şuur birdir ve son hesap, ruhun mahşerdeki son bedenlenmesi üzerine ve o ’son bedenle’ olacaktır.

İkinci nokta:

Kur’an’da reenkarnasyona işaret eden yirmiye yakın ayet vardır. Bu ayetlerin, geleneksel kabullere mahkum olmadan değerlendirilmesiyle şu sonuçlara ulaşılabilmektedir:

Herkes tekrar tekrar bedenlenmez. Ruh, tekamülüne genellikle dünya ötesi alemlerde devam eder. Ancak bazı ruhlar, dünya boyutuna tekrar indirilir ve tekrar bedenlenirler. Bu bedenlenme, Allah’ın lanetini gerektiren büyük kötülüklere bulaşmış olanlar için domuz, maymun veya zalimlerin uşağı haline getirilme şeklinde olabilir.

Bu son şekle Kur’an ve hadis dilinde ‘mesh’ (noktalı Hı ile) yani hayvana çevirme denmektedir.

Meshin, insanı olduğu yerde ve anında hayvana çevirme şeklinde değerlendirilmesi müfessirlerin tevilidir. Kur’an böyle bir şey söylemiyor. Bu yolda ileri sürülen bazı rivayetler ise, Yahudi mitolojisi İsrailiyat’tan İslam’a sızmış söylentilerdir. Varlık kanunlarına da aykırıdır.

Hadisler, meshin kıyamete kadar süreceğini ve Muhammed ümmeti için de söz konusu olduğunu açıkça bildirmektedir. (Bu konuyla ilgili hadisler ve açıklamaları için bizim, Son Peygamber adlı kitabımıza bakılabilir.)

Üçüncü nokta:

Konunun dayandığı ayetlerin döküm ve açıklamasını ‘Kur’an’daki İslam’ adlı kitabımızda yapmış bulunuyoruz. Ayrıca bilgi edinmek isteyenlere rahatça başvurabilecekleri bir kaynak olarak Süleyman Ateş’in Kur’an Tefsiri’ni öneriyoruz.

Ateş, Kur’an’ın şu ayetlerinin reenkarnasyona işaret ettiğini, açık bir biçimde ifadeye koymuştur: Bakara, 28; Nisa, 56; Furkan, 13-14; Fatır, 16; Vakıa, 60-62; Mülk, 1-2; Nah, 18; İnsan, 28; A’la, 12-13; Abese, 21-22.

Ateş, Tefsiri’nin ilk baskısının 8. cilt 318. sayfasında, reenkarnasyona işaret eden ayetleri değerlendirdikten sonra, bunları açık anlamlarının dışına çekenlerin durumunu şöyle ifadeye koyuyor:

‘Ayetlerin zahirinden de bu mana anlaşılmaktadır. Ancak insanlar, belli yönde şartlanmış olan kamunun tepkisinden çekindikleri için bazı ayetlerin açık anlamlarını tevil etme yolunu tutmuşlardır.’

Özetleyelim:

Kur’an’ın, Hint düşüncesi ve spiritüalist felsefede yer alan reenkarnasyonla eşitlenmeyecek, kendine özgü bir yeniden bedenlenme anlayışı vardır ve bunun, ondaki haşir inancını zedeleyen hiçbir yanı yoktur. Ancak şunu da unutmamak gerekir:

Kur’an’ın dediğini anlamak ehliyet ve emekle, kabul etmekse tabulardan kurtulmuş olmakla mümkündür.

Chanel Print Ad, 1983

Is there anything like the “swish” of a game winning shot? haha- like I would know! Let me tell you what I do know, netted- and net like fabrics are everywhere this holiday season. Do yourself a favor and channel 1983 on the sly. You aren’t going to need an entire bottle of “Aqua Net” this time around- thank the lord, instead you will have to get a little bit clever if you want to get this right.

It’s not like we didn’t see this coming, the 80’s revival has been in full swing, and the Fall 2009 runways had touches of this rock infused fabric sprinkled throughout. I have gotten questions from clients wondering how to update their holiday look and in my opinion adding a net overlay dress into the mix is fresh, edgy and a sure-fire way to get you a smooch under the mistletoe. (As if you needed a reason to lock lips at your cousin’s, neighbor’s, co worker’s Single’s Only Holiday Party< which if you are single, I totally recommend you have or go to one!) There are a slew of fabrics that have the dramatic feel of the garment being covered in a dark net such as a fine mesh, or an organza. Below are a couple great finds I have stumbled upon when personal shopping and pulling for recent photo shoots, take a peek and see if you find any that might tap into your inner material girl. 

Bloomingdale’s is all over this trend and a big reason why is because they are carrying an exclusive and very moderately priced party dress line by Jill Stuart- Jill Stuart Dress, which has scattered this fabulous fabric trend throughout the collection.

I finally made the commitment to Windows 7 as my main OS on my tablet PC.  I’d been running it in a dual boot configuration for a while, but a few weeks ago, it was time to move on.  My Vista installation was over 2 years old and was starting to act unpredictably.

As with every fresh operating system installation, the pain of starting from scratch makes you swear to never let your machine get to its inevitable ugly state again.

Keeping that promise might be a little easier this time around though.  By using some cool virtualization technology, you can have the best of both worlds.

Easy transfer wizard

There are many discussions about how to make life a little bit easier when moving to Windows 7 by using the Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer wizard.  I discovered a few things that I didn’t know while using it and thought I should pass it along.

The first thing to know is that this wizard is really just a very specific backup application.  It will create an image of everything in your “Users” or “Documents and Settings” folder and your personal application and registry settings.  That means you may drag a lot of legacy information with you when you install a fresh copy of Windows 7, install your applications, and then re-run the transfer wizard.

1. Make a good, complete backup using Windows Home Server (WHS).  I’ve talked about that before.  It’s just a good insurance policy.

2. Move (or Copy and Delete) all your big files.  Pictures, videos, music should get copied over to an external drive, and / or your WHS.  In fact, going in that order will speed up the process (USB is usually faster than a network copy operation).

Your big files can hide.  For instance, if you use Windows Live Photo Gallery, you may have a really LARGE cache of “original images” that WLPG surreptitiously hides down in your \users\<user name>\AppData folders.  So copy those somewhere, or just delete them if you don’t care about them.  Note that the Settings and Transfer Wizard will back all of that up for you if you want to pick up exactly where you left off!

Also, the media transcoding folder of Windows Media Player or Zune might have many GBs of files in it.  Clean that out too.

Poking around your AppData folder may result in some discoveries – like your Temporary Files folder is huge, or your Outlook mail files are huge.  Using a folder size utility can help.

3. Compact your Outlook and Live Mail (I think you can just compress its folders) or Outlook Express mail files.  You might also consider creating a new personal folder (PST) for backing up items in your OST file and then deleting them out of the OST – there are times when your OST may have to be rebuilt anyway due to mail profile changes.  Emptying deleted items, sent items, and stuff like that prior to compacting will give you the best results.  Outlook can tell you what folders have the biggest footprint. My OST and PST files shrank dramatically (some up to 50%) after doing this.  This is a nice time saver for backup and restore operations too! 

4. Empty your Recycle Bin, make sure your Live Mesh is up to date – then remove this computer from your Mesh.  You may consider removing some or all of your documents from your Documents folder if you want to archive them.  Remember, once you add your “new” machine and install Live Mesh, your Meshed folder documents will come back.  I can’t guarantee that restoring your Mesh folders will result in anything but file collisions in Mesh when you try to sync your new Windows installation.

There’s more, but by now you’ve reduced the time and size of your Easy Transfer Wizard by many gigabytes and hours.  Some things surprised me, such as you couldn’t do a “partial restore” of some information.  You select what you want to include in your backup, but the restore just happens – no choices were available to me.  Also many non-Microsoft application settings are not backed up.

5. Re-install your applications – concentrate on the Microsoft ones.  Because many other applications don’t quite benefit the same way, you may decide to get most of your Office and Windows Live applications going, and start again with other applications.

6. Back up your new machine’s image PRIOR to running the Settings and Transfer Wizard.  If you decide that you hate what it did to your machine, or you need to install more applications you forgot, reverting to a fresh machine image from Windows Home Server sure beats reinstalling the OS again.

Making a lasting image

I didn’t want to re-pollute my new installation with lots of the things I only used occasionally.  I periodically use some pieces of software that are fairly invasive when it comes to space and registry settings.  Install enough of these and even the removal process will leave lots of junk lying around.

So why not keep that old OS install around “just in case”?  This is where VMWare comes into play. I’ve used this before, and it really came in handy – if you remember some key points.

1. Get a fast USB 2.0 hard drive (bigger than your current drive on your computer).

2. Download VMWare’s vCenter Converter Standalone software.  This is free and you’ll use it once.

3. Install it on your old machine after you’ve done all your backing up, transfer wizard, etc.

4. This is important – if you have a Dual Boot installation on your current machine, the conversion process will fail at 95% because VMWare is looking around your boot sector to determine how to boot your operating system.  You MUST edit your boot manager in Windows (or other OS).  In Windows Vista, this is NOT trivial (in NT to XP, it was just a text file).  Get DualBootPRO (pay – used to be free), EasyBCD (free so far), or brave it by hand (don’t do that). 

The irritating part is that you’ll probably just do this once or maybe twice, so paying for a utility feels a little dumb.  There are people who do this all the time, so it makes sense to have a full-featured version for that.

How ever you decide to do this, the important part is to BACK UP your current boot configuration, then REMOVE everything except the operating system entry you are backing up, making an image of, and then flattening with Windows 7.  You can always restore it after you use the VMWare Converter.  Windows 7 will disable your multi-boot configuration anyway – so you may need to use this tool once more.

5.  Once you finish step 4, you need to go through the VMWare Converter wizard.  It is fairly intuitive.  Make sure you set an appropriate amount of RAM for the image, and make sure the hard disk file you create has some spare space.  You can also turn services on and off in the image file – do NOT attempt to stop running services on the current machine itself.  I accidentally did that, and it just slows, or at worst, stops the conversion process.

6.  Go away for a while.  The process can take some time.

7. Once it’s complete, you will have a set of files and folders on your USB drive that will have an exact image of your running machine down to the desktop wallpaper.  It’s a BIG file and a few others (you can edit the machine configuration in Notepad if needed).  However, you can back it up elsewhere for safe keeping by just copying the files somewhere. 

But, don’t do that just yet.

Playback

The next step you can perform on a different computer or your existing one, prior to flattening it.  It’s a good thing to try booting it up once pre-wipe if you’re paranoid.

Download VMWare Player 3.x (2.x does not play well with Windows 7 – beware of frustration there).  Install it somewhere and point it to your USB drive.

When VMWare installs, it assigns a few “virtual Ethernet adapters” and sets one of them to 192.168.0.1.  If your current router is handing out IP addresses on a 192.168.0.x subnet, you will NOT be able to access the Internet from your VMWare host installation.  Beware of this frustration as well.

The next part you ABSOLUTELY must know is that any Windows operating system will think that your VMWare image is a “hardware change”.  That means Windows will ask you to re-activate your operating system.  You only get a few activations, so be wise about this.

Two points to make here:

1. This could be a license violation because you have upgraded to Windows 7 (unless you bought a new copy).  However, this is just for insurance and is likely a temporary situation.  I’m not implying anyone should violate a license – knowingly or unknowingly.  My Vista license is on a development machine, so I should be OK.

2. You have 3 days to activate your machine.  The easiest way to activate is to get your virtual machine connected to the Internet.  You may have to switch your guest image’s network settings to “NAT” to quickly get an IP address.  Then, find the little “keys” icon near the clock in the bottom right of your screen and activate it!  If you don’t, Windows will start in a crippled mode, and if you didn’t get your Internet connectivity going – tough luck… you need to call the activation hotline and get a code over the phone.

Now that you’re done there, you can back up that image to a safe place (another disk) if you want, and you won’t have to re-activate it again.  If you back it up before activation, you will eventually become very suspicious to Microsoft.

You may want to disable some things like Automatic Updates, virus checkers etc. on your VMWare image (and try to keep it off the net).  Things like Windows Sidebar and utilities that start on bootup or login will only make your virtual machine painful to use.

If you have “Hardware Virtualization” in your machine that hosts the VMWare image, turn it on… it makes a difference.

So what?

For starters, if you want to keep your promise about not gumming up your new operating system installation, having an image of your previous computer around can help you resurrect the exact build environment or set of settings that may be dogging you on your new install.  Also, occasionally used applications can be easily accessed if needed.  To keep that image running well, “suspend” its image when you’re done with it rather than shutting it down.  Remember though: if you decide to use your VMWare image on another computer, completely shut the image down first.  You can’t recover a suspended image gracefully when you transfer a guest image to a new host.

In some versions of Windows 7, you are eligible to use the Virtual XP Mode that’s powered by Virtual PC.  You can install apps inside that image and use them natively in Windows 7.  This is probably the best (and most legal) way to fire up occasionally used applications.  If it works the way I think it does, this virtual image of XP will keep all the nasty DLLs and registry settings out of your lean and clean new installation!  I’ll be experimenting with that next.

As the previous installment of the Primer I strung had a bit too much whip, I followed the the tips given to me by the always helpful guys over at TLF. Thanks!

Soft mesh seems to work better with rolled shooters, giving it less whip. I removed the two weaved U shooters and replaced them with two straight Rolled shooters and a Rolled U. As you can see, the pocket is more pronounced after the many more wall-ball repetitions that it took me to get it right.

As much as I hate Warrior Soft Mesh, stringing something hard is the best way to learn something new.

I knew I had an STX Profile lying around in my attic somewhere, but when I found it and inspected the stringing I found it lacking. It was fitted with a piece of Ready Mesh from 1lacrosse that was crooked (the mesh, not the stringing) and thus hard to break in as it wasn’t symmetrical. I had the brand new piece of mesh left over from the previous Outlaw, so I decided to string it on.

I must say, I hated the STX the way it was previously, but now it’s quite a different stick. It only goes to show, that good stringing is a key for you to be sattisfied woth your head. Any head for that matter. Some are harder to string, some are easier.

The final product has quite a bit of whip to it, which seems to be the case with Soft Mesh combined with U shooters. Hold seems rather good and release is very quick. The ball flies fast and true without much effort. The pocket placement is Mid to Low-Mid.

“Experiments are as good as your instruments and simulations are as good as your assumptions” – Prof. D. K. Ferry, Arizona State University

This post will discuss the basics of simulation (done by writing a code in any of the many programming languages). There are numerous tutorials on the web and there is no dearth of good books on this subject hence I will keep it very simple. The following figure will help in the discussion.

Imagine you have a rectangular surface of length ‘L’ (along x-axis) and width ‘W’ (y-axis) and you need to model some physical process in that region. The idea is to divide the region of interest into many points (grid) and solve equations describing the physical process at each grid point and this would tell us how the physical process would behave within the rectangle.Now one of the first things to do is to decide on a suitable grid size, i.e. the distance between two grid points (indicated by ‘a’ in the above diagram). The grid size should be small enough to capture the intricacies of the process, i.e. smaller than the characteristic distances within which interesting phenomenon occur but it should not be too small (more on it in the next paragraph). In this case a grid size of ‘a’ divides the width into ‘k’ points (k-1=W/a) and length into ‘m’ points (m-1=L/a). Thus any point in the rectangle can be represented by a 2 element co-ordinate system. For example the red dot is (3,4), i.e. 3rd row and 4th column. Sometimes it would be convenient/efficient to use a radial co-ordinate system (r,θ).

Now comes the computation: the above paragraph indicates that in total we have ‘m × k’ points and the equations describing the physical process must be solved at each of these points. This leads to the lower limit of the grid size. If it is too small then the number of points where one must perform computation increases hyperbolically; very soon your code’s run time will get increasingly uncomfortable and your program/computer may run out of memory. The initial tests of your simulation should be aimed at determining an optimum grid size. Note: In some cases the grid size may have one value for the horizontal axis and a different value for the vertical axis, in this case the grid size will be ‘a× b’ where ‘a’ is the grid size along length and ‘b’ is the grid size along width. And there are cases where the grid size may be variable, i.e. small in areas of interest and large in nonessential areas.

As some of you may have noticed this is a 2 dimensional (2D) simulation since there are two length based attributes in our region of interest, namely the length and the width. This can be expanded to perform a 3 dimensional (3D) simulation by solving the equations along the z-axis also but be prepared to compute in at least ‘m × k × p’ points! and not to mention the visualization problems while handling a quantity in 3D space. Note: In 3D, there are at least 4 entities to handle out of which three are the distances (dimensions). Also note that this type of grid is also known as mesh or lattice system and this type of simulation is also known as discretization.

In my case I am interested in solving the Schrodinger equation in a 2D system whose size is typically in the order of few 100 nm by few tens of nm with a grid size of about 1 nm (nm = nanometer). This will allow me to see quantum effects that happen in the scale of few nm.

In the end one has to remember that in any simulation you get what you put in. If you ever feel you are seeing new phenomenon then all it means is that either you did not completely understand your system dynamics/equations or there is an error in the code or data. In most cases it will be the latter
