Nimbus

And why does the same album have different songs in different regions?
What’s the point?
Why isn’t there just one standard world-wide album released at the same time?

The market is different in most countries. A lot of what’s popular here plays second fiddle to other countries’ mainstays. Record labels have distributors in these countries and monitor when a "good time" to release is. There may be a Big Thing going on in Germany perhaps…something made in Germany that the people are GA GA for. It would be unwise to release something with tough competition. In other countries that are more like the U.S., musically speaking, like the U.K. you’ll see the same release dates. There is more to it than just that…contracts, touring schedules, and demographics play a role too. What pisses me off is when other countries get tracks on their CDs that we don’t get…or hafta go to iTunes for.

Here it is, my first official game in Left 4 Dead 2 on the first level of Dead Center

I’m going to be playing and recording a lot in the next few weeks and if I have the time I might start to compile them into a funny montage or two…

So far from what I’ve seen, Valve has tried to give the game more of a time line feel where each character learns about the new infected and items as they come along. So far its worked out pretty well and its fun to see our characters calling the hunters “hoodies” and the jockies “freaks”. I also noticed how valve has made an extra effort at making each level unique in at least one way. This has been a great addition with different types of gauntlet points and even some pretty funny easter eggs. I’ll make a video of more when I have time.

Players such as Roddick and fognini use this new lightish blue babolat racket. I really want to try it but i cannot find it anywhere. Anyone know what it is and when its released

Babolat Pure Drive GT (and Pure Drive Roddick GT).

You can get them now on pre-oder:

Kurt Warner was released at the top of his game and he got a raw deal with the Rams. And I feel that the Ravens could have done more if they acquired Kurt Warner.

How many superbowls could the Ravens have won?

The Ravens were built to run the football and play defense. They were not a good pass blocking team as they built the line to conform to a power running game and pass blocking was a weakness with that group. Then we need to look at the WR group. Pedestrian at best, this group was also built to support the running game and make the sure catch. They didnt have high end guys who could blow by people nor did they have that amazing route runner. Look at Warners years of greatness….he had some pretty amazing receivers who were gamebreakers on their own merits….doesnt matter the QB if you dont have an offensive line built to pass block or have receivers who are equiped to be game changers. That changes the dynamics….the grind it out running game helps the defense, what happens if they change their style of offense and ask the defense to play 4 or 5 more minutes a game? Maybe they would be fine but then again maybe it weakens them too! I am not convinced Warner would have made them better….he was a perfect fit in the perfect offense for his ability, take him out of that and who knows how well that turns out (have seen many a QB fail miserably in different offenses after good success).

I’ve started reading some manga that is on going and want to know when the new volumes are are coming out, a specific date preferably. How do I find out? Also, how often are new volumes released? Monthly? Bimonthly? I have no idea. Is there a website with this information?

some manga have the date of the release of the next volume printed somewhere at the back of the manga… you could also look at the website of the said manga but also lookout for new volumes in the places you buy manga because there is a possibility that the next volume of the manga that you are reading can be out early or late….

Have I Told You Lately – Rod Stewart – released June 1993

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that’s what you do

For the morning sun in all it’s glory
greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
and somehow you make it better
ease my troubles that’s what you do
There’s a love that’s divine
and it’s yours and it’s mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that’s what you do

There’s a love that’s divine
and it’s yours and it’s mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one

And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there’s no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles that’s what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that’s what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that’s what you do

In 1993 Rod Stewart’s cover of the song was released that was his last Top Five solo hit to date, becoming a #5 hit in the US and the UK. This version also spent five weeks at #1 on the US adult contemporary chart.

A projectile of mass 19.6 kg is fired at an angle of 61.0 degrees above the horizontal and with a speed of 79.0m/s . At the highest point of its trajectory the projectile explodes into two fragments with equal mass, one of which falls vertically with zero initial speed. You can ignore air resistance.

A.How far from the point of firing does the other fragment strike if the terrain is level?
Take the free fall acceleration to be g= 9.80m/s^2 .
which i found to be 810m

but i am having trouble with part B
B.How much energy is released during the explosion?
Take the free fall acceleration to be g= 9.80m/s^2.
I know its KE2-KE1 but i havent got the right answer yet

For part B, you have to find the kinetic energy of the system right before and right after the explosion. Since the height of the system right before and after the explosion is the same, there’s no change in potential energy. So it’s all kinetic. Furthermore, the vertical component of velocity is zero at this point right before and after the explosion. So you really only have to contend with the kinetic energy of the system from the horizontal component of velocity right before and after the explosion.

So let’s start. The kinetic energy of the system right before the explosion is this:

KE_pre=0.5*m*[V*cos(theta)]^2

where m=mass of the projectile, V=initial projectile velocity, and theta=angle.

Right after the explosion, you have two pieces, each with 0.5m mass. One piece has zero velocity in either horizontal or vertical direction. The second piece has 2x the horizontal velocity as before and no vertical velocity. You already know this from conserving momentum of the system since you got the first part right.

KE_post_1=0
KE_post_2=0.5*(0.5*m)*[2*V*cos...

KE_post=KE_post_1+KE_post_2
KE_post=m*[V*cos(theta)]^2

The difference is the minimum amount of energy released from the explosion.

E_explosion=KE_post-KE_pre
E_explosion=0.5*m*[V*cos(theta…

Solve for it and you find E_explosion=14375J

That’s the minimum amount of energy that the explosion has to release, just to send the two halves into the paths prescribed by the problem. It may in fact have released more than that. However, anything more than that would have to be in the form of heat, radiation (light), or pressure wave (sound). It can’t be kinetic energy in the projectile halves, otherwise the projectile halves will not follow the paths described by the problem. The problem in part B really should have been written as "what is the minimum amount of energy that must be released during explosion?" in order to give a unique answer. As it is, the answer is anything more than 14375J with the condition that amounts greater than that are released as heat, light, or pressure wave.

I am personally really looking forward to ‘Bioshock 2′. As I currently still play the first one, and have done since it was basically released and still I feel is a perfect game. So I have very high hopes for Bioshock 2

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is another one. As I thought the first was also amazing.
