I think he’s aware of who he is and what he brings to the table and how people respond to him. I think he’s one of those guys who walks down the street and he’s so hot the flowers bloom. “My sense is, Sting has got to be used to this. I’d be scared to watch the episode again. I was trying to bring some dignity back to what I do. And then there’s my reaction - it was like a seven-car pileup, emotionally. And then there’s the shock and awe of being with him. “So I really had the rug pulled out from under me because I was not expecting what happened that day. Which is so weird because I was never the girl in college who was like, ‘I want the guy in the band!’ My husband was an engineering major and I was like, ‘I love a nerd!’ But for me clearly if it’s a rock star, all bets are off. ![]() Because when you’re with another actor, you’re both in the same club. “The thing is, I’m always prepared - so this was awful. “And I said to the director, ‘It’s not that your direction is not important and I don’t agree and I want to do my own thing, but this is the best I can do right now.’ But I was like, ‘I’m so sorry - I don’t know what I’m doing out there! I’m trying, short of drooling on myself. “I clearly remember the reaction of my co-workers and they were shocked. I didn’t remember any of the blocking, I just wandered around, probably like someone who had just suffered a severe concussion. ![]() I barely made it through the scene with this glazed look. ![]() I have no recollection - don’t even ask me what I did. I’m not really sure what I did or didn’t do. ![]() So we do our first take, and it’s just he and I in the scene. So I’m trying to play that while inside I’m freaking out because it’s Sting.

![]() Once a prince in a zone dedicated to the avoidance of all technology, his fascination with that same tech left him branded as a heretic. Her name is "The Shicaine" and she is captained by a man who has lost his name and birthright. It is about one of these myst clippers that our story revolves. Trade between the zones is mostly conducted via myst clipper ships that sail on the mysts between the zones. Much as they try not to, they need each other to survive. Nine major zones and numerous minor zones dot the landscape all engaged in survival for their people. A great zone where trade is carried out and an equally strong zone where those less committed to honest dealings shelter. The militaristic and the religious are each sequestered in their own zones as are Artificial life forms and the Lokaryn (For our shorthand here you can think of them as vampyres). Under the right atmospheric conditions, however, it can ignite destroying anything, and anyone, caught in its path.įrom the myst rise great shielded cities- force protected zones where like minded survivors form uneasy alliances to ensure mutual survival. Much of the world is covered in a caustic myst that flows across its badlands like water. This work may provide theoretical guidance for the design and application of deformable structures.Our story is set in "T'Amorach," a world whose environment was long ago poisoned by a cataclysmic event of unknown origin. An antenna was fabricated and measured, and the test results are in good agreement with the simulated results. Finally, based on the designed structure, a stretchable microstrip antenna was designed to achieve high gain while the center frequency remained fixed. By stretching or compressing it at different positions, different mechanical characteristics of the deployment were obtained. The influence of the geometric parameters of the unit cell, such as its length, thickness, and the center angle of the cylindrical shell, on the snap-through instability was analyzed. The snap-through characteristics of the cylindrical shell were analyzed, and the curvature of the second steady state was obtained using the minimum potential energy. Then, the deployment mechanism and parameterization of the structure were analyzed. The accuracy was verified through experiments and the finite element method. By assuming that the rotational stiffness of the spring is related to the length, elastic modulus, and thickness of the cylindrical shell, the coefficients used to quantify the stiffness of the rotational spring were obtained through a finite element calculation and the mechanical characteristics of the structure were obtained. The elastic deformation energy stored in the mechanical system was calculated, and the applied force was obtained after deriving the displacement. First, a mechanical spring model based on a quarter of unit cell was established to predict the mechanical characteristics of its deployment. It has rotating rigid squares and cylindrical shells to improve the flexibility of the structure and produce snap-through instability. This paper proposes a flexible kirigami structure. Designed antenna has the advantages of compact stowage, easy deployment, light weight, enhanced electromagnetic performance, and multi-functional practicability, which can be widely used in wireless communication systems to provide various services. Finally, multiple antennas working at different frequencies but with similar radiation characteristics are concentrated into the same combined antenna aperture through reconstruction, so that the antenna has the capability of multi-frequency operation. Fourth, multi-port and omnidirectional bending and twisting are used to explore the effect of antenna geometry reconfiguration on electromagnetics. ![]() Third, the effects of the length of the metal strips and different instability configurations of the spherical shell on the frequency reconfigurability of the antenna in deployable and folded configurations are analyzed. Then, the accuracy of the calculation method of Kresling origami-based reconfigurable helical antenna is analyzed, and its geometry is changed to control the performance parameters over time and achieve versatility. First, the mechanical properties of the designed antenna during the smart deployment process are analyzed, which can be helically deployed, with super-large compressibility and torsion-contraction coupling effect. In order to realize the frequency reconfigurability of helical antennas and increase frequency bandwidth, this paper adds a spherical shell to the top of the Kresling origami, so as to achieve maximum frequency reconfiguration and electromagnetic stealth. ![]() Foldable and reconfigurable helical antennas change shape to adapt and reconfigure their electromagnetic properties. ![]() PWSA’s water treatment plant in Aspinwall in 2017 required major improvements. Some of those employees did not follow all the legal requirements, including when they made changes to how they reduced lead in the water. And that meant that the people who had to do the work were not always managed well. Without sufficient funds, the authority couldn’t properly fix its infrastructure and struggled to hire top leadership. The problems at PWSA compounded: Political interference across several administrations not only meant that it was saddled with former city employees, but it was also burdened with pet projects and struggled to raise rates. Or the dramatic showdown between Peduto and the board he nominated. And that’s to say nothing of the billion-dollar privatization takeover that failed in plain sight. There were water quality administrators who refused to follow environmental regulations. There were $10 million giveaways to developers and risky $100 million bond deals that tanked. There was the former city councilor hired as the safety director who knew little about necessary protocols for a water plant. The story features leaders criticized for putting political ambitions over the city’s water and at other times included outright unethical and illegal deeds. The problems had roots that went back decades and intersected with the city’s failing steel economy. “I just feel better and safer, with my boys more than anything, not drinking it,” she said.

The story of how PWSA failed and how it managed to revive itself isn’t just a matter for the history books. The stakes have never been higher as increased rains from climate change threaten to overwhelm the sewage system. ![]() The average water and sewage bill is already over $100 per month and some estimates suggest it could increase to between $240 and $334 per month in the next two decades. And it’s going to hit Pittsburghers’ pocketbooks hard. But projects like these collectively will cost billions. Now, Pittsburgh is on pace to be one of the few cities that has removed all of its public and private-side lead pipes by 2026. After years of less-than-sufficient rate increases, the old pipes and pumps that were barely holding together were failing in increasingly dramatic ways. Lead wasn’t the only problem or, by some accounts, even the biggest problem the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority faced. There is a simple way of telling the story: The city got what it paid for. And many of the most important moments received little attention. In the course of reporting this series, I found many of the oft-repeated explanations were incomplete. It happened so fast and had so many bureaucratic twists and turns that it was easy to miss what had actually happened. ![]() The main gameplay takes place in linear levels that become accessible as the game progresses. Like Sonic Adventure, the single player navigates through open-ended hub worlds where they can converse with townspeople and perform missions to advance the story. Sonic the Hedgehog is a 3D platformer with action-adventure and role-playing elements. Gameplay screenshot of Sonic running across a beach in the first level In 2010, Sega delisted Sonic the Hedgehog from retailers, following its decision to remove all Sonic games with below-average Metacritic scores to increase the value of the franchise. ![]() It is widely considered the worst Sonic game and led to the series' direction being rethought subsequent games ignored its tone and most characters. Reviewers criticized its loading times, camera system, story, voice acting, glitches, and controls. Sonic the Hedgehog received praise in prerelease showings, as journalists believed it could return the series to its roots after years of mixed reviews. Downloadable content featuring new single-player modes was released in 2007. Versions for Wii and Windows were canceled. It was released for Xbox 360 in November 2006 and for PlayStation 3 the following month. As a result, Sonic the Hedgehog was rushed for release in time for the holiday season. Problems developed after Naka resigned to form his own company, Prope, and the team split to work on the Wii game Sonic and the Secret Rings (2007). Sonic Team sought to create an appealing game in the vein of superhero films such as Batman Begins, hoping it would advance the series with a realistic tone and multiple gameplay styles. In multiplayer modes, players can work cooperatively to collect Chaos Emeralds or race to the end of a level.ĭevelopment began in 2004, led by Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka. Each playable character has his own campaign and abilities, and must complete levels, explore hub worlds and fight bosses to advance the story.

The song and the harmonies are pretty much where they ended up on. Drums a go-go.Ī little glimpse into the writing process. If the drums sound familiar, it's because they are sampled from the intro of my own "Silver Lining" which allowed Linda to overdub another drum part over her own performance. I was asked to contribute to a Nick Lowe tribute and though it was hard to choose one track, I went with this obscure b-side that I had on a cassette I had recorded off a KSAN (San Francisco) broadcast during my college days. ![]() I'd like to think that Gene would have approved. The original Byrds recording is so yearning and so sweet but somehow in the more intimate, stripped down form included here the song almost sounds foreboding and obsessive. The oldest of the tracks included here, recorded for "Full Circle," a tribute to Gene Clark. TOMORROW IS A LONG WAYS AWAY (Gene Clark) That last sentence was for the recording geeks out there and probably put the rest of you into a deep, deep slumber. This was one of my first experiments with Garageband after years of recording on a Teac 3300 four-track reel to reel, a Fostex X-15 four-track cassette recorder, an ADAT and then the Korg 16-track hard disc recorder used on many of the songs on this comp. This song is written about the power of sound and noise and repetition and volume and a group of people doing all of the above and how it can help transcend an otherwise difficult situation. Written for "Cast Iron Soul," the long-awaited (23 years!) sophomore effort from Danny & Dusty. And, yet, it's a sentiment that still rings true as there will always be someone who has to be second best. The movie's ending had to be changed and the song wasn't quite as relevant. Only one hitch-as the movie was being made, the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series since 1918. I wrote and recorded the song in one day and it ended up in the closing credits and on the soundtrack. The song and movie was meant to convey the frustration of loving a team that comes close but never quite wins. My friend (and ringleader of the Willard Grant Conspiracy) Robert Fisher told me that the filmaking Farrelly Brothers were looking for a song for their remake of "Fever Pitch" in which the main character's love of soccer and Arsenal in particular would be moved stateside to baseball and the Boston Red Sox. There's more where this came from but this seemed like a good place to start before I put all the tapes in the elevator and move back down to solid ground. ![]() Some were recorded for compilations, tributes and as Hail Mary passes for TV and movie placement. Some of the songs are demos for versions that would later show up on record. Get it? Now that I'm moving on to another location (with another wildly clever studio name, I'm sure), it seems a good time for a wrap-up of some of the music I've made from home over the last decade or so. Since then I have moved many times-from apartment to apartment AND from label to label-and have spent the last 18 years living and doing my home recording in my 5th floor apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

"Fortunately it's easy to avoid this scenario.” "Recently a few users have begun violating the Xbox Live Code of Conduct by using an external application to maliciously disrupt the experience and sabotage characters of legitimate Borderlands 2 players on Xbox 360," Gearbox community manager Chris Faylor wrote on the game's official forum when the company warned again the exploit. Those playing with players who are using the hardcore mode have discovered that their save files have been deleted when their character died. In hardcore mode, once a character dies, that character is permanently dead and players have to start the game from scratch with a new character.
