M2 is M2 and Letus is Letus.
Nare the twain shall meet except mayhap in the scrapheap years hence when the world will be populated by cut-price OEM REDclone cameras out of Dongguan Province and rubbish dump urchins will hold the Letus and M2 up to the light and go "aaah" and make drag-along toys out of extinct 2/3" Cinealta cameras and their power cords and rag the oddball kid who tows along a Genesys kicking up dust and tarry to burn ants and cockroaches with the lenses and the overhead sunlight.
The cheaper product you point to is for the M2 and the more costly one is the Letus dedicated mount.
If you want to design and make up a dedicated Letus flange and rear shoulder, maybe have to skim some metal off the rear of the cheaper OCT19 to get the backfocus right, drill and tap six tiny screwholes into the flange, buy six screws, assuming you can source them, to fit that alternative adaptor up to the Letus, feel free.
My betting is that the time it takes you to buy in the metal stock, sourcing, and ordering, turn it down ( three hours ) or have it turned down, drill six axial screwholes to accurate centres and thread them, assuming you can buy in the thread tap, or have this done as well, you may be well on the way to another $250 - $350 spend.
I would favour buying in the Letus dedicated OCT19 mount.

M2 Oct-19?
Aye, so there is a difference then. It does say that DoF adaptors, not just M2.
I guess I feel like Letus is so awesome on price on just about everything else. Think about this, for a piece of metal, it costs almost 1/3 the price of a new adaptor!
I feel like I just bought a great HP printer and it's time for a new ink cartridge. I go to the store and realize that there is only one brand compatible and it's nearly half the cost of the printer.
Why does the PL, OCT-19 cost so much more than the 40 dollar Letus mounts? Is it simply because the people who use these mounts have more production money? Or does the machine costs warrant charging this price?
Nonetheless, if the compatibility issues are true, I'll have to purchase the OCT-19 through Letus.

I too tend to be a little vexed when the cost of a lens, albeit secondhand is almost half-matched by what seems to be a simple adaptor mount.
The notched mount requires a lot of small machining operations and the precision if it is to be any good must be spot on, like the work done on the back of the lenses.
Do some here have fond memories of the original reversable Nikon-Canon mount and lenses being soft and fuzzy and learning to fly like an immature fledgling from the nest when focus was attempted?
There have not been enough of the mounts made to cause the economies of scale and lowers costs we have been accustomed to. They are also made in higher cost labour environments.
The complexity of setting up a computerised machining operation for the mount might be more than setting up the machining of any of the Letus extreme case components.

ACK! I do remember that reversible mount! I would just tighten that thing as hard as I could and hope for the best. But usually I could pull focus though.
Honestly, I think it isn't about machine costs. It's the price range that a PL / OCT-19 mount means for production. They could just assume make it $59.00 like the rest of them. But without any competition, we have to buy it @ Letus for $359.00.

Nature of the business. It's all about adapting everyday parts to suit the needs of film production, and then doubling/tripling the cost.
A cherry picker truck suddenly becomes a "professional personal camera crane"
a couple of standard gears suddenly become "precision follow focus lens gears"
The indifocus is just a gearbox mounted on some hardware, yet it is $200+.
Do NOT even get me started on matte boxes.
Fluorescent lights, colored paper, tripods, they all get this treatment. Unfortunately we are forced to put up with it.
This however, is a precision part, machined for this sole purpose, and there are very few people who use it. Therefore, with low demand, and high complexity, I can understand the price.

Hi Christopher
Bob pretty much said this, but to spell it out Raf is only offering the lens mount - the flange etc. is not included, and that's where the costs start happening.
Lens mounts are costly because they require tight tolerances, and are hand machined (vs. mass manufactured using a mold or some other technique).
I think that's also part of the appeal of using still lenses - many of the elements that go into them are much simpler and/or don't require sophisticated machining to get nearly identical (imho) results. Of course the experience of using the lenses in production is very different, especially to a professional AC.
my two cents

TV review: USA's 'Rush,' 'Satisfaction'
Credit: Unknown
USA premieres a pair of new shows this week -- one squarely situated in its lighthearted wheelhouse, the other more intriguingly pushing toward new frontiers. The former is "Rush," about a bad-boy doctor who administers to those living in L.A.'s fast lane, while the latter, "Satisfaction," is a drama about midlife crises as seen through the prism of a strained, fracturing marriage. As such pairings go, this one is unusually metaphorical -- highlighting a network that appears slightly torn between the temptation to expand and test its boundaries, and simply settling for prescribing the same familiar feel-good formula.
Granted, the doctor in "Rush," William P. Rush (Tom Ellis), is a little more damaged than most. While "House" might have favored pain pills, Rush is introduced snorting cocaine and smoking pot, only revealing his profession when the woman he's picked up has an overdose, and he has to speed her to the ER.
Because of his clientele, Rush winds up treating a lot of really awful people, from a mega-producer who experiences what he colorfully describes as a "broken cock" to a baseball player prone to physically abusing the women in his life.
Like most such protagonists, Rush appears torn between just taking the money and trying to do the right thing, with an assortment of Jiminy Crickets in his life -- including his married friend (Larenz Tate) and the ex-girlfriend who got away (Odette Annable) -- whispering advice that aims to put him on a more ennobling path.
Ellis is fine, but it's all pretty tired stuff -- "Entourage" with a medical degree. And frankly, the world could do without another "physician heal thyself" protagonist whose renegade image is seemingly summed up by the decision to sport a three-day-growth beard. Heck, even the name is meant to signal the guy's an adrenaline junkie, as if the audience couldn't figure that out without additional cues.
As for "Satisfaction," it's hard to know exactly where to begin, which is interesting from a narrative perspective and challenging from a marketing one.
Neil Truman (Matt Passmore) is a successful businessman with a beautiful wife, Grace (Stephanie Szostak), and a teenage daughter. But he's also bored and miserable, lamenting in voiceover that, after 18 years of marriage, "I need to start figuring out what the hell is wrong with me."
Neil is equally blase about work, and he starts the change-your-life process by having what amounts to a "Jerry Maguire" moment at the office -- except nobody takes his outburst seriously. A subsequent flare-up aboard a delayed business flight, however, leads to a canceled trip and a surprise at home, one that takes the series and central relationship in unexpected directions, including a new line of work.
Written by Sean Jablonski ("Suits," "Nip/Tuck"), the extended premiere shifts its point of view -- allowing the audience to see things from the wife's perspective as well -- so that it's not just Truman's show. The desperation behind the beautiful hedges and lawns lends an ersatz "American Beauty"-like tone, including the daughter's not-so-veiled hostility toward authority.
Thematically, the show shares certain themes with "Married," an FX comedy that by happenstance premieres in the same hour and also deals with the struggles of what "happily ever after" really means. Where that road goes in this case remains unclear, but for now -- unlike the easily diagnosed "Rush" -- this companion series warrants further monitoring. And while it's premature to say I can't get enough "Satisfaction," at this point, I definitely want more.

LSI have recently signed an agreement with Cambridge ESOL to be one of the first language institutes to offer computer based testing (CBT) for the internationally recognised Cambridge ESOL exams. Our LSI Cambridge school has been designated as an official test centre by Cambridge ESOL and will be offering CBT for all our 2011 Cambridge exam preparation courses. In addition, CBT will also be available to students who have taken their exam preparation courses at other language centres.
School director, Phil Scherb, has been at the fore front of introducing CBT to LSI Cambridge and believes there are many advantages over the more traditional paper based testing.
" I think the new computer based testing will be great for the students. They'll be able to take the test in a familiar environment and so will feel more relaxed when taking the test. The results are available in only five weeks rather than the usual twelve weeks. Even the application time required to take the test is much shorter – down to one week as oppose to 6 six weeks for the paper based testing. The listening exercises are clearer as students will listen through headphones and being able to do all the writing on a computer is a definitive plus for those of us who have illegible handwriting! The speaking part of the test remains face to face as Cambridge ESOL send out examiners to the centres to carry out the oral part of the examination. As far as I can see there are no downsides to this new form of testing. It's great for the school too as the increased number of exam testing dates means that'll we be able to offer more course dates for those students who want to follow our exam preparation courses."
LSI Cambridge will be offering CBT on our FCE and CAE courses starting in 2011. View details about dates and prices of these courses .

I'm trying to create a tool changer component for a CNC machine. Basically the tool changer is a carousel with 20 tool positions. To pick a tool the CNC machine moves to a fixed location, the carousel rotate (with all tools) until correct tool is positioned in front of the machine spindle, the machine picks the tool and moves away. To pick another tool the machine moves back to the same fixed location, releases the tool and the carousel rotate until the next tool is positioned in front of the machine.
I'm stuck in how to create the logic to grab and release 20 tools between the CNC machine and the carousel. Any help is appreciated.
Attachments:You must be logged in to view attached files.17/04/2017 at 23:01 #2629
I don't remember, but I think there is already a machine tending component in eCat that does this.
Anyway, you could create a dictionary with tool components as keys and the rotational values for the carousel joint as the values. Another dictionary could be used to store tool slot locations.
- You could use either a String or Node List property to reference the available tools and define the needed tool.
- If current tool does not match needed tool, lookup current tool slot location from dictionary, drive joint of carousel to needed value, use method in vcHelpers.Robot2 to place and attach current tool to carousel, and then repeat but this time pick and attach the needed tool.
So the overall process is tool change. Sub-process check current tool. Sub-process rotate carousel. Sub-process place and dismount tool. Sub-process pick and mount tool.
Is each tool a separate component that you attached and saved with the main component?18/04/2017 at 08:35 #2631
I've done it with a tool changer that could hold up 5 tools. It was only moving forward and back and external axises were grabbing and releasing the tools. So it was not rotating, but the principals stay the same.
The code I'm using:
def DrillTools(): ToolChangerNode = comp.findNode('NodeName') Tools = ToolChangerNode.ChildComponents Tool_Dict = {} for Tool in Tools: Matrix = Tool.PositionMatrix Z_Axis = Matrix.P.Z Y_Axis = Matrix.P.Y Tool_Dict[Tool.Diameter] = [Tool, Y_Axis, Z_Axis] return Tool_Dict
This code finds all the childcomponents of a toolchanger and return them to a dictonary.
def Get_Tool(Tool_Container, Drill_Container, Servo, Hole_Diameter, Tool_Dict): Tool_Data = Tool_Dict.get(Hole_Diameter) if Drill_Container.Components: #The drill is already having a tool Current_Tool = Drill_Container.Components[0] else: #The drill isn't holding a tool currently Current_Tool = None if Current_Tool and Current_Tool.Diameter == Hole_Diameter: #The drill is already having the correct tool return if Current_Tool and Current_Tool.Diameter != Hole_Diameter: #The drill has a tool but's the wrong one #Put the drill back Old_Tool_Data = Tool_Dict.get(Current_Tool.Diameter) Y = Old_Tool_Data[1] Z = Old_Tool_Data[2] Servo.move(Y,Z) Servo.moveJoint(2,272.89) Tool_Container.grab(Current_Tool) Servo.move(Y+100,Z) if not Tool_Data: Servo.moveJoint(2,0) if Tool_Data: #Pick the new correct tool Tool = Tool_Data[0] Y = Tool_Data[1] Z = Tool_Data[2] Servo.move(Y + 105, Z) Servo.moveJoint(2,272.89) Servo.move(Y, Z) Drill_Container.grab(Tool) Servo.moveJoint(2,0) else: print "Couldn't find the right drill tool for hole diameter %s mm" % Hole_Diameter
This code checks if the component is holding the right tool if not, it does a tool change. If the tool isn't there it prints a line.
My component has 5 tools but it simply could scale to 5+ components.
Regards,20/04/2017 at 12:42 #2649
Thanks, it's clear how to create the script in the Tool changer component, but how do you exchange information from the robot/machine program to the tool changer ? I.e. what program statement is used?20/04/2017 at 13:52 #2652
You could use signals to exchange information or read/write routine variables in robot program.
If a robot program will involve multiple tools, you may want to create subroutines for each tool's operation. Another option is to use one tool frame, but use a Define Tool Statement to adjust the tool frame's location and other properties during a simulation. For example, one tool may need a Z-axis height of 10mm, whereas another tool may need a Z-axis height of 30mm.
But depends on what you want to do versus need to do: Does the machine need to tell the robot what tool to use or should the robot already know and have it defined in its program?

Tim, good job on the 10k. Just a few more times at that distance left in the plan, make them count.
Nice work Paul. Seems you are pretty consistent and in here most days. Not slacking off like me and only rowing 4 days a week.
4 x 2000m /4min
A month ago we only had to do 3 of these. I logged 2:09.7 average with pretty even splits on all 3 and recall it being a tough effort. This time PE was much lower and times were faster even with the 4th rep.

With the days short and roads slick with ice, many of us would rather curl up with Netflix and tea than brave the whipping winds of the outside world. The Danish have long embraced the concept of hygge (pronounced "hoo-hag"), which essentially equates winter with warm and comfy cocooning. It's how they maintain record happiness levels in a brutal climate.
The idea has gained currency in homes around the world. Now, many companies are working to cultivate coziness to their workplaces, too, in an effort to stave off seasonal affective disorder and make their offices, well, a little less cold. (That said, it works in sunny spots, too: The Australian home of software firm Zendesk was designed using hygge principles to improve employee energy.)
While the notion of hygge conjures images of pelt rugs and crackling fireplaces, all that's really needed is a bit of warmth: nooks for quiet work, some non-fluorescent lighting and, ideally, a cozy lounge where folks can put up their feet and cherish the great indoors.

Sorry I can't answer this, but I have been asking myself the same question for a while now. I would like to see what the experts have tosay.
I wonder if a sign at the door stating that "management of this establishment welcomes legally carried firearms at all times" would work. I would certainly post one of these if I were a resteranteur.

Well, Arwen is still little, so she only goes about 62mph, but yup!
Vegas is now 2.5 years old, he does this more often than not...
Every time he poops he comes in the house and runs 90 miles an hour around the dining room table and into the living room, we have all tile in the dining room so alot of his speed is like Fred Flinstone trying to get his grip. This morning was NON-STOP I had to yell at him, he was out of control!! At night when we come in after his evening potty time and does this Joe will simply look at him like he is a lunatic and say "Well I guess you pooped" lol
I know it must feel good but does anyone else's bully get this excited after a poop???
Well, Arwen is still little, so she only goes about 62mph, but yup!

Just remember that 98.34% of all people will make up statistics 86.27% of the time that lean towards their own opinion by at least 51%. Of course I'm not 100% sure about that...
Uh,,,, that would be NO!!!!!!!!!!..
Definitely NO...
I agree with Bruce. Your dog is a weirdo.
Jack... what makes you think I was talking about Vegas??????
oh boy ..
Oh yeah! We call it the victory lap! Winston and Layla do it outside when its nice but inside when its cold, dark or raining. I guess a good poo is worth celebrating!!
"I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive." <3
Wilson's only 8 months and he doesn't do that. He does kick up the grass pretty good though. Now my old dog Ace has always done the happy run right after he took a . He also would get his happy smily face too.
Fatty hasn't came to the running around part. What she does after her poo is roll around in the grass or in the dirt. I can actually picture Vegas doing that!!
Who wouldn't love that face???
Stella does it BEFORE a poo!!! We call it "crazy dog"! She runs around like a maniac. @NikkiSchoolcraft, LOL "victory lap"!!!
Ha ha YES Samson does do that! It's what we call the "piggy run," he does it at other times too but after pooing is one of the times he does that crazy run.

This is going to be a quick email, but I am in Buda now in the mission office working as an office elder! President Szabadkai called on Wednesday about it, and it was really surprising. But I am glad that I get to serve in Budapest, and the office will be a lot of fun. In the last few days in Pécs we had some teachings, most of the programs fell through, unfortunately. But our work with less active members is going pretty well. I said my goodbyes on Friday and got on a train to Budapest Saturday morning. I traveled to Budapest by myself, so for 3 hours I went solo. Since Saturdays are p-days for the secretaries, I got another p-day today which is awesome!
Thanks for the emails and recipes.

Astrology Zone ARIES relocation forecast
An excellent geographic area for career, vocation, and business activities, especially if you are ambitious but not too pushy or hostile.
The ability to achieve a great deal and make solid progress.
You do things with passion and conviction while in this area. Others may enlist you to participate in their zealous mission.
Fortunately, these activites, in general, are likely to be of a positive nature.
You tend to have an idealistic attitude in relationships here and may expect too much of others or partners.
Other people may let you down, deceive or disappoint you. Alcoholism or drug abuse may be a problem in your personal relationships. An ideal partner is someone who understands your need for soul union.
ARIES relocation horoscope 2016 (love, money, health) You encounter others who have great imagination and sensitivity, but a lack of maturity and a weak sense of responsibility.
You can have fun with others here, but be very cautious to not involve yourself with people of low morals or poor character.
Sudden changes in your career plans are likely while in this area. Job changes tend to be more frequent than you expected.
If you set your mind on a goal, you can focus single-mindedly on the work and leave no stone unturned. Others may take advantage of your efforts; try to receive reasonable compensation for your contributions.
The Caution: Radical non-humanistic views. Intellectual smugness. Lecturing people about their lives. Browbeating. Lip service to conservation values. Bashing 'greenies'.
The trouble is that you have your sights set unrealistically high and lack your normal powers of discrimination.
Life takes on a reckless quality as you crave excitement. It would be better if you could make the most of new and exciting opportunities while showing some restraint and wisdom.

|Drug: lidocaine Drug: placebo
|Phase 3
Effective perioperative analgesia is the key to postoperative rehabilitation. It has been suggested that a decrease in postoperative pain and opioid use ameliorates the return of normal bowel function after general surgery. Conventional analgesic treatment involves the use of intravenous, oral and transdermal formulations of drugs. Repetitive administration is required for sustained pain relief. Common side effects (postoperative nausea and vomiting, postoperative ileus) of these analgesics may have a detrimental effect on postoperative recovery and led to a prolonged hospital stay. An intriguing body of evidence suggests that short-term administration of intravenous lidocaine may produce pain relief that by far exceeds both the duration of the infusion and the half-life of the drug thus reducing concomitant analgesic medication can be reduced and its side effects enabling a more rapid postoperative recovery with less complications. Lidocaine is a commonly used local anesthetic and an antiarrythmic agent. It has been shown to preserve neuroelectric function in animal experiments. Intraoperative administration of lidocaine in a standard antiarrythmic dose has been shown to decrease the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction in the early postoperative period after coronary artery bypass surgery. Lidocaine can induce a significant re-duction of several components of chronic pain in patients with poststroke or spinal cord injury related pain. Sodium channel blockers (e.g. lidocaine) are approved for intravenous administration in the treat-ment of neuropathic pain states. In addition lidocaine has anti-inflammatory properties and preclinical studies have suggested antihyperalgesic effects on the peripheral and central nervous system. Lidocaine decreases the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of inhaled anesthetics and has been used clinically to reduce the requirements for other anesthetic drugs. IV application of lidocaine is said to decrease the duration of bowel dysfunction and postoperative pain intensity.
We hypothesise that i.v. application of lidocaine in a standard antiarrythmic dose can significantly improve acute rehabilitation after laparoscopic urological surgery and so shorten the hospital stay. We expect that the intraoperative inflammatory response can significantly be reduced.

reinforcements arrived at the scene and overwhelmed the
attackers. The injured policemen, one with a gash in his
eyebrow and blood streaming down his face, were taken
to the hospital. The attackers were taken into custody.
It was determined that one of the attackers had been
discharged from the military a short while ago.

Last i heard hussein is gathering info, perhaps in the hope that by the time he gathers al his precious info, the war will be long lost and nothing can be done. It's what the left do, slither and weasel around everyone's dead and it's too late to do anything. Then they turn around and say, oh isn't this just terrible, wish it didn't happen, we must do it differently in future.

...the AB challenge.
Alright, so Gumbo catches alot of poop around here for supporting AB. I was never in the bashers club until this year, when I felt like he was regressing.
While i rarely agree with gumbo, I want him to understand that I have no vendetta against AB, I am just tired of him. I would love to see him do well and I would root him on mightily if he were to step up in '05.
So...here's what I wanna do. If AB lives up to a set of standards in'05 (to be determined here), I will purchase an AB bobblehead and mail it to Gumbo myself. I may even include and autographed picture of me holding it wearing my Deuce jersey :)
I am a man of my word and I will hook Billy up if AB meets the standards.
There are a couple of automatics. If AB starts the NFC championship game, Gumbo gets a bobblehead. If he starts and wins the superbowl.....I'll throw in a replica jersey.
So....all the bashers out there. What numbers would AB have to put up for you to say "whoa, I'll lay off"?
I'm not asking for ridiculous numbers, we know that they say there will be more running this year. That means ratio would be more relevant than saying 30 TDs and 10 INTs.
So, how bout a 2.5 passing TDs to Picks ratio?
He would have won the challenge 2 years ago with a 24 to 8 mark which brings me to fumbles.
How is a 2 to 1 TDs to turnovers ratio? rushing TDs would count against this mark.
If AB threw 25 TDs, 10 picks and fumbled say 7 times, would that silence the critics?
I would call that a pretty good year, especially if Deuce is healthy all year.
What would it take for misunderstood and unappreciated AB to shut up the critics and send me to the mailbox with an AB bobblehead addressed to Gumbo?
(For the record, I would love to have to pay up on this one.)
[Edited on 5/3/2005 by Halo]
...the AB challenge.
And no more ESPN blooper material. Cut the dumb mistakes.
And for crap\'s sake, complete better than 60% of your passes. Put the ball in a position where the receivers can make a play after they catch it.
I would be very happy with just these.
...the AB challenge.
10-11 wins.... i could give a **** about his individual accomplishments
...the AB challenge.
Let\'s see how peyton would have done (the ridiculous gold standard):
Wow....I didn\'t realize how bad this was:
49 TD, 10 INT, 0 rushing TDs, 5 fumbles, 0 lost.
That\'s just ridiculous.
Let\'s look at Donovan:
31 TD, 8 INT, 3 rushing TDS, 8 fumbles, 0 lost.
That\'s nfl.com. Could it be that neither of these guys lost a fumble? I\'m not sure I buy that.
So, whodi, are you saying 3 to 1 TDs to picks? And maybe 2.5 to 1 total TDs to total turnovers? Is that fair to AB and not setting the bar too low?
...the AB challenge.
...the AB challenge.
10 wins....period
...the AB challenge.
ditto in that personal accomplishments are not the standard. that is the guy\'s m.o.- decent stats but stupid mistakes at critical junctures. i would demand that he learn to hold on to the ball somehow. his fumble rate has never been acceptable. he didn\'t get as much flak last year cuz most of them were recovered. that is just chance how that happens. quit giving up the ball 13 times a year. wouldn\'t 6 be a reasonable goal? that number he does generally have control over, not like drops or hurries from pressure. bottomline for me is wins. 11 or 12 and a clearcut division win would be a nice change. eeking in on the last weekend with 9-10 wins, whether wildcard or division win won\'t excite me greatly unless a couple of playoff wins can follow. it is hard for me to imagine that happening and AB not having a solid year. either that mcpherson comes in for an injury and has some kinda big ben fantasy.
...the AB challenge.
If personal performances don\'t matter to you guys, how can you differentiate between players who are good or bad?
Charles Grant didn\'t get us 10 wins. Are you going to be down on him if we don\'t get 10 wins next year? If the answer is no, then you DO care about individual performance.
Guess who else didn\'t get us 10 wins? Joe Horn, Darrin Howard, LeCharles Bentley, Duece McAllister, Mike McKenzie, and the list goes on!
If you are down on AB for not getting us wins and you are not down on these other guys to exactly the same extent, then you are either inconsistent or you do care about individual performance (and, by simple entailment, its statistical description).
...the AB challenge.
Kool, I see the point you are trying to make, but, like it or not, the QB is the focal point of the football team. Quoting a QB\'s W/L record is very common. He could be compared to the pitcher in baseball, who certainly does accumulate a W/L record, even though there are 8 other guys on the field that have something to say about the outcome of the game.
...the AB challenge.
not individual performance kool, but i dont care about individual accomplishments, particularly stats. what makes brady recognized? not his stats particularly. marino the all time stats guy played in an era alongside montana. who do ya chose when the crunch is on? yes, statistics will bear out over a long haul but it amounts to little with no ring. marino was hall of fame. he would have traded the individual accolades for a couple more shots in the superbowl i bet though. a de can have 3 sacks and have a great season- garnering double teams all season and allowing the other rushers to add more total sacks. a de that only cares about sacks will be a liability against the run. the essence of football as perhaps the most emphatic \"team\" game is it\'s beauty. yeah, judge individual performance but on performance as a team member not individual accomplishments.

Prohibition and its Repeal by Kori and Mercedes
Write about something well done. What did you learn from this group? What part of the Presentation seemed the best?
Is there constructive criticism that would help this group? What might have been more clear? What part of the Presentation seemed the least polished?
Post comments for this group below this post, please, as we all need feedback, and it's valuable.
14 comments:
Interaction with the class was good, and pointing out that amendments are serious business when it comes to Government was great (When pointing out how long the US has been around, and just how many have been passed).ReplyDelete
My only real criticism would concern the slide show. You may want to try a light text on a dark slide next time.Replies
I thought you did well. I learned a lot. I did not know that they had added 2 amendments to the already 27. I watched a movie called The Untouchables with Sean Connor. It is about the prohibition.. Check it out. I thought you had great interaction with each other.Delete
You guys did really well. You guys had great information and you can tell you guys practiced on it and didnt just put it together.One thing I learned was that the Prohibition took two of the 27th amendments.ReplyDelete
i never knew that prohibition took 2 amendments. you guys did really good. you talked about the laws, how people reacted to it, how the president even vetoed it, and who took advantage out of the situation and made money from it.ReplyDelete
Nice presentation and very informational. Good idea on pointing out how prohibition was the only thing in history to require two amendments.ReplyDelete
Good presentation, again this topic was and is very good at pointing out the setting of the Great Depression. You need to a bit more sure of yourselves, and have fun!ReplyDeleteReplies
I do agree with Devon that you guys seemed a bit neverous but I was too... and I am older than you all...Well done and very informative...Delete
You guys did very well. You knew a lot about your topic and left me feeling informed.ReplyDelete
Good job on your presentation. I liked the pictures you had in your slide show and how you talked about the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. When I went to Chicago I saw the building that it happened in so it was cool that you guys brought it up.ReplyDelete
Very informative and interesting. I liked the pictures and how it flowed. Overall nice job!ReplyDelete
Your presentation was so well put together, you were extremely knowledgeable and presented your research very well. You mentioned something about how the color was dark, and that was something I commented on too. In the future I would try to anticipate that, how your presentation will look on a bigger screen to a varying audience. Your knowledge on prohibition and the effects on other events in history really showed, I enjoyed your presentation!ReplyDelete
Was there a specific politician or political group that pushed for the prohibition? or was it a particular person that took action in its repeal?ReplyDelete
It was good but i think it could have been more detailed. It was organized well and had good information. Also, the was it was presented was a little general.ReplyDelete
i liked the presentation and how you mentioned Al Capone in it, you tied everything together.ReplyDelete

Help!! 380SE head leaking OIL?

I don't know how they could have installed a new chain without removing the front engine cover/s. Check you records for a list of parts replaced. You can replace the chain by removing only the right valve cover if the chain is intact. Once it breaks, there's no way to thread the new chain unless you're so lucky that the both ends are in the area of the cam sprocket. Even then, you probably have to take the front of the engine apart to make sure all the sprockets are aligned.
A head gasket set should have everything you need. On the earlier M116, the left and right head gaskets are different. They are probably different for your engine as well. Make sure the head gasket set includes a valve cover gasket.
Any other parts will depend on what you do with the head and what was done with the timing chain. If you have the done as you probably should, it will be ready to install. If you don't have the head done, at least replace the valve seals. Check the plastic fittings on the oil lines above the cam towers. Check the chain tensioner and guide rails. If they were replaced when the timing chain broke, they should be in good shape.
You'll have good access to the water pump and the various coolant hoses so consider their condition.
If your engine is anything like my older M117, keep track of the vacuum hose behind the throttle body. There's no way to reconnect it with the intake manifold in place.

Happy Weekend Two Readers,
Valentine's Day is coming up fast. I have some cutesy stuff planned to do in my classroom which I'll share later but what I really look forward to is doing something special with my sweetie.
I wanted to spend some time over the next few days sharing a little bit about my and my husband's love story. I hope any fellow romantics out there will find some commonalities and inspiration. I also hope those of you who continue to follow get a little bit better sense of where I'm coming from.
I do warn that this may get extremely sappy. I'll try to undercut the sappy moments with sarcasm and juvenile humor for those of you who hate this kind of stuff. Oddly enough, I am very much against sappiness myself and really want to convey a romantic story without going to a place where both you and I want to throw up.
Today I present:
Episodes 1-3: The Prequels (yeah, that's a Star Wars reference)-
Let's rewind back a little over three years ago. I had finished my Masters program and gotten my first teaching job. I was extremely optimistic and excited about starting this new chapter in my life. I was also slightly terrified for I was, in my mind entering the "real world" and truly beginning my adult life. At this point in my life, I was still very much focused on finishing my education and doing well in my chosen profession.
My love life at this point was virtually nonexistent. Okay, to be honest, it was completely nonexistent. I was not terribly optimistic or excited about this aspect of my life because I had never experienced love nor had I been in a long term relationship. I had managed to get through college without finding anyone who I had any inkling of interest for, other than a couple minor crushes and dating some very nice guys who just weren't "the one."
By the time I graduated and started my Masters program, I was pretty much "over it" as they say. I didn't hold out much hope for finding someone especially after fully realizing that I was entering a profession of women starting out in a program full of women (we had 3 guys out of 60 people in the Masters program).
I became even less hopeful once I started working full time as a first-year teacher. It's an understatement to say I was a little overwhelmed. Those of you who have not been there, let me offer an analogy. Your first year of teaching is like being thrown into shark infested waters in the middle of the ocean. Yeah, you know how to swim but you had only been practicing in the calm, chlorinated waters of a backyard swimming pool. You could always swim to the side or the shallow end to get out. You could always grab a noodle or floatie for supported if you needed such a thing. Now, you're in the middle of the cold, salty, unforgivingly relentless ocean. Your feet can't touch the bottom. Your eyes see nothing but the cold blue-green of despair in all directions. To top it off, you start seeing shadowy figures looming beneath the surface, a constant reminder of all the responsibilities you have. You call out for help and you might receive some if there happens to be a sympathetic rescue boat nearby. (Okay, potential teachers don't be too scared. I tend to exaggerate a bit).
In the midst of my newbie teacher flailing, I decided to empower myself. I had to stay strong and take care of myself and live the life I wanted to live. I started working out and eating healthier. I sought help both from colleagues and old professors. I used the knowledge and experience I did have to start figuring out all the in's and outs of teaching. I was figuring out who this adult I suddenly realized I had become was.
It was at this point I decided I was ready to go out and find love for myself. With such a jam-packed schedule and with the amount of work I was putting in I also decided that I needed to make it easy on myself.
Yes...I went on EHarmony.com.
Wait! Don't go!!!! If you haven't done the online dating thing you're probably rolling your eyes right about now. EHarmony? The one with the cheesiest commercials ever?
Not only did I not have to pay anything to get matched up with people (score one for the starving teacher) I also really didn't have to do any of the work to get matched (score another one for the overworked teacher).
I was quite optimistic as I checked out my matches that were emailed to me every day, judging dozens of guys by their profile information.
I saw a couple guys who seemed to have potential. I started paying and started communicating with the guys.
I then realized that there wasn't one person from the website I was really excited about. Nooooo! Not again! After the initial onslaught of new-member matching, the emails became fewer and fewer. My idea to reject short guys started seeming a little picky. I started to lose hope again as another month went by and I hadn't found one person I wanted to even venture out on a date with.
Then I came across E's profile in my inbox.
His picture was cute, although he wasn't quite the type I normally went for. He was in the right age range. He had a respectable job, Psychologist, that I had a little bit of knowledge about (yay, Psychology degree!). His interests included reading and doing things outdoors. He didn't smoke and liked to drink occasionally. And he was tall, 6'4. Score. In short, I saw enough things in common to get a little excited about and no real red flags.
He requested communication from me.
Score! He's interested too!!! Weeks went by going through all EHarmony's stages with E. We answered multiple choice questions, short answer, long answer, and "open communication" which was basically email through the website.
It was...very boring.
I have to laugh at how much methodical the whole thing was. Even in my naive pre-relationship state, I realized that I had no idea who this guy was. I was getting a little antsy. This was the best match I had found. I actually wanted to get to know this guy. His one sentence answer to my question, "Where would you travel if you could go anywhere in the world," wasn't satiating my curiosity.
We had gotten to a point where he hadn't responded to my "open communication" email in a couple weeks. I was getting a little worried (E would explain much later on that he almost canceled his membership because he had gotten disillusioned after some bad EHarmony dates before meeting me).
I made a bold move, for me anyway. I suggested that he just call me already so we could actually talk to each other.
He did.
I was soooooooo nervous. Looking back, I think I was more nervous for this phone call than I was on the actual date. I was so inexperienced with this whole dating thing. What if I said something stupid? Or worse, what if I couldn't say anything and it was just awkward silence the whole time...What if he actually turned out to be a complete ass? How could I end the phone conversation without making a date just because I felt bad?
After some initial chit-chat, the meat of our conversation started out in a very interesting and unexpected way:
E: "Sorry if I sound a bit tired...I had to talk one of my kids off the roof today."
Me: "Oh! That's okay, do you want to call another time...uh, we could talk later if you want..."
E: "No, talking to you is actually quite soothing."
E proceeded to explain the roof incident. It involved a crazy kid and police and dogs. E explained that he worked with emotionally disturbed youth. I was intrigued. And so it continued on for about an hour. E and I kept the conversation flowing and to my relief E did a lot of the talking (knowing him quite well now I have to say he talks for a living and is quite good at it). I did my fair share and felt more and more at ease as the conversation continued.
I began to realize over the course of the phone conversation how much we had in common. We are both the oldest of four children, we both work stressful jobs with children, we both like to read, and love the outdoors. We both are close with our families and talked about our siblings and parents and childhoods.
My impression over the phone was that E sounded quite intelligent and a little off-key in the sense that his sense of humor was quite dry and he was so upfront and direct. It's hard to describe now since I know him so well, but my first impression was much different from who I discovered he actually was.
It was, though, a good first impression and the first date was set. Dinner and a movie. He'd choose the restaurant (Buca di Beppo) and I'd choose the movie (Run Fatboy Run- I figured that a light romantic comedy would be both harmless and neutral for a first date).
And so it began.
There was no crazy, turn of fate meeting that you see in the movies. There was no bolt of lightning from the sky. There was no anguish, no conflict, and no comedy.
It was all very uneventful and...easy.
After years of nothing, there was suddenly something. As easy as that. All those people I inwardly seethed toward after their good-hearted, "You'll find love when you least expect it," comments began to seem slightly less smug and insane.
Sometimes finding love can be easy and you realize that just because it is, it does not diminish the significance of the event.
I look back now and realize that all these inane details described in this post may seem truly uneventful, but the fact that they led to such a significant and life-changing phone call has made them quite fateful and quite important.
Did I realize that at the time? Of course not.
I was just a person nervously going on a blind EHarmony date.
To be continued....

Do you think/feel animals feel emotions?
Given that:
Why doesn't it stop you? Is it because:Yes I think they do - experienced independant of humans (although they can respond to those) - does that stop me eating them - no.
Then, wouldn't the first step in overcoming this, be acknowledging one's own limitations and progressing beyond it? That is........if one even wants to.
Which raises the question [full circle]: why would you NOT want to get to this understanding or work towards it?
Is it merely a question of conscious selfishness on the part of us humans?
User Tag List
Thread: Do animals feel emotions?
I eat veggies and animals and I bleive both have emotions.
I dont' have a clue what you mean by the bold.
I beleive as I've state previously that emotions live in the etherial around a person, the science (which INTJ posted asa video link) seems to have been supressed in this area.... whichs is a shame because the applications are midn exploding.
I work with markeres who try and influence people on mass the science would have application there...
E.g., in scientific research, it is mandatory to get ethics approval when dealing with human or animals in research. Interesting why they assumed a 'special value' to these animals versus, say, plants or inanimate objects. Why do you think they did, and why do you think this is the case?
Understanding without understanding of application is laziness in thought to me.
Edit: all the questions I asked about the treatment (direct or indirect) of animals is applicable to me as well, not just you guys who 'answered'. Hence, me looking for other's reasoning/understanding/justification, if any.
Also, to reiterate, I asked:
I don't condone hunting for sport and fish that are not intended to be eaten should be released. However, I fully condone hunting and fishing as a means of providing food for yourself and your family.
As for animals in pet stores that are not taken care of properly, puppy/kitten mills, while I want to "rescue" them, I know that that is not the way to get this behavior and business to stop. In order to stop this sort of thing, there needs to be boycott so these people cannot continue their business and reporting to the appropriate authorities.
"I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
Robert Frost
I think you may be assuming if animals feel emotions then we are moraly obliged to not want to cause harm (such an F type value )) . Give me a steak. In my head I'm not a bit clappy about animals, so I'm possibly A typical. I'd like animals to be reared properly not in battery farms etc... but I do eat meat that isn't ethically reared.
I think science places human and animals above plants because they feel their are emotions invovled - or at least enough human emotions to say that they need to be more responcible. Science usually doesn't test things on plants ebcause the biology and cellualar construction is SO different from animals - at a guess (although we can catch bugs from plants)... science will catch up.
Given I think there may be issue around Ethrial, I'd be much more into science exploring that area more... light therapy, water therapies, magentic therapies in terms of promoting well being.
EDIT PS I wouldn't try to hurt animals, and if they are not scary I would try to help, but I'm not really an animally person. and yes I wear leather & don't keep pets
Since, as you said:
I think you may be assuming if animals feel emotions then we are moraly obliged to not want to cause harm (such an F type value )) .
Why do we care? Cuz of morals, ethics, as I responded to Jock and you.
Now, answer me this:
Why do we NOT [need to] care?
F is morality and ethics...so yup, F response.
Scientists feel that they get shit from other humans if they test on animals... why do they get shit from humans is probably because humans empathise with animals. Humans rarely empathis with plants... unless it's a 100 year old oak treat or a forest etc...
Social pressure = the morals... too many people dont' condone testing on animals, therefore they are responding to negative PR I'd guess... It's quite clear when animals are in pain.
I'd say S is morality and F is empathy...
I don't feel morally obliged about animals, I'm not a pet owner, I wouldn't go out my way to harm animals though.
Sounds good to me.
*Stabs people* >.>
I think most animals can be considered empathic... to those that they agree with. They don't seem all that much so otherwise though. IE a wolf would understand the pain of another wolf, but has no issues with playing with a rabbit rather than just killing it outright, if it's in the mood for amusement.
Think that may be the biggest issue concerning emotional responses; the capacity to see beyond a certain barrier of understanding or not.
Or maybe it's more than that, who knows. Some humans may just not be capable of the same empathic barrier, and just can't relate to things outside their own species. Some can't even relate within their own species... so who are we to judge if we can't even understand our own feelings or those of others of our own kind?
Or at least I can't XDIt doesn't matter if they're right. If they can't proove they're right, then they're wrong. No matter how right they may be.

There's a lot of misconception about what the Feeling function is on this forum, I've seen, like above.
Jung was quite clear on his interpretation of the feeling function. It is not about emotions. An F person can be unemotional and still be F. Just like a T person can be emotional and still be T.
As a writer interprets Jung, to Jung, Feeling is "the consideration of the value of something or having a viewpoint or perspective on something"....the consideration of the value of something drives to the philosophy of ethics and morals. Hence, F deals with morals and ethics.
While T deals with "knowing what a thing is, naming it and linking it to other things."
Sensation is a representation of "all facts available to the senses, telling us that something is, but not what it is."
Intuition is a "sense of where something is going, of what the possibilities are, without conscious proof or knowledge."

So funny how he came up to this dog doodle mixing it up to the addition problem I prepared, I never thought of that. I see the outpouring of his creativity when I homeschooled him.
Here's my creative little boy saying "I am a rabbit" after sticking the 2 post it paper to his forehead. And he keeps hopping around. I'm glad we said yes when he asked us if he can have the post it, supposedly it's for our schedule listing.
