(Last Revised March 2011)
1. General Conditions – Scope
1) Our conditions of sale shall apply exclusively; we will not recognize contradictory conditions of sale or any conditions of sale of our customers' if such conditions of sale deviate from ours, unless we have approved their applicability in writing. Our conditions of sale shall also apply if we make unconditional deliveries to a customer even though @we are aware of contradictory conditions of sale of the customer's or of customer conditions of sale deviating from ours.
2) Any agreements made between us and the customer for the purpose of executing this contract shall be made in writing.
3) Our conditions of sale shall only apply for companies, public-law bodies, or public-law special assets according to section 310, clause 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
4) Our conditions of sale shall also govern all future business with the customer.
2. Quotation - Conclusion of Contract
1) Our quotations are subject to change without notice and non-committal. To attain legal validity, declarations of acceptance or any orders require our confirmation in writing or by fax.
2) Our representatives or other agents are not authorized to make side agreements orally or to make oral commitments that go beyond the contents of the written contract.
3. Period of Delivery
1) Delivery dates or deadlines, which may be agreed with or without binding effect, must be agreed in writing.
2) Any delays in delivery or performance due to force majeure or to events that seriously interfere with our delivery or render it impossible - including strike, lockout, official instructions, etc., even if these only affect our suppliers or subcontractors - shall not be our responsibility, even if we have committed ourselves to binding deadlines or delivery dates. Such force majeure or serious events shall entitle us to delay deliver or performance by the duration of the impediment plus an appropriate start-up period, or to rescind the contract in whole or in part because of the unperformed part of the contract.
3) If the impediment lasts longer than two months, the customer shall be entitled to rescind the unperformed part of the contract. If the delivery time is extended or if we are exonerated from our obligation, this shall not entitle the customer to make claims for damages. We shall only be entitled to refer to the above-mentioned circumstances if we inform the customer of these immediately.
4) Where we are responsible for the failure to meet deadlines or dates to which we have committed ourselves or where we are in delay of performance, the customer shall be entitled to damages for delay to the tune of 0.5% of the invoice value of the deliveries and performance affected by the delay; however, the maximum damage claimable for such delays shall be 5% of said invoice value. Any further claims shall be excluded unless the delay is due to gross negligence or willfulness on our part.
5) Within reasonable limits we shall have the right to partial deliveries or partial performance.
6) Meeting our delivery and performance obligations requires that the customer meet his obligations in a timely and proper way.
7) If the customer is in default in acceptance we shall be entitled to demand indemnity for the damage we incurred. Upon default in acceptance, the risk of accidental deterioration or loss shall pass to the customer.
4. Price, Packaging, Shipment, Insurance
Our prices apply ex factory, excluding packaging and insurance. Unless otherwise agreed, shipment shall be at the customer's expense and in a way customary in trade or commerce; we shall not be responsible for sourcing the cheapest way of shipment. According to section 447 BGB the risk shall devolve upon the customer.
5. Liability for Defects
1) The properties of the merchandize sold by us shall be according to the product description attached to the contract only.
2) Customer claims based on defects require that the customer has dispensed his obligations to examine the merchandize and to lodge his complaints in a proper way according to section 377 German Commercial Code (HGB). In case of obvious defects, the customer shall only be entitled to claim damages if we are notified of the defects in writing within ten days of delivery.
3) Where the defect is a defect in a purchased item we shall be free to choose between subsequent performance by means of correction of defects or delivery of a new, faultless item. In the event of correction of defects we shall only be liable for the expenses incurred in the correction - such as costs of wages, material, transport, and travel - insofar as such costs are not increased by subsequent removal of the object delivered to a place different from the customer's seat, unless such removal is in accordance with the object's appointed use.
4) The customer shall establish a deadline for subsequent performance, which may not be less than 20 business days from the day we were notified of the defect. Any merchandize concerning which the customer has complaints may only be returned with our approval.
5) If subsequent performance is unsuccessful, the customer shall be free to choose between rescission or abatement of purchase price.
6) We shall be liable according to statutory provisions if the customer claims damages based on willfulness or gross negligence on our part, including willfulness or gross negligence on the part of our representatives or vicarious agents. Unless we are charged with willful breach of contract our liability shall be limited to the damage that can be expected to occur under typical circumstances.
7) We shall be liable according to statutory provisions if we are in culpable breach of a material contractual obligation, i.e. an obligation that defines the contract and whose discharge the customer can reasonably rely on. However, in this case our liability shall be limited to the damage that can be expected to occur under typical circumstances.
8) Our liability for mere economic loss shall be limited to € 7,500,000 unless the damage was caused willfully.
9) This shall not affect our liability for culpable violation of life, limb, or health; the same shall apply to our compulsory liability under the Product Liability Act.
10) Unless otherwise stipulated above, all and any liability shall be excluded.
11) The period of limitation for claims based on defects shall be 12 months from the day of passage of risk.
12) The period of limitation for delivery recourse under sections 478 and 479 BGB shall not be affected; this period is five years from the day of delivery of the defective item.
6. Aggregate Liability
1) Any liability for damages more extensive than envisaged by these Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be excluded, irrespective of the legal nature of the claim made. This shall apply in particular for claims for damages based on culpa in contrahendo, on other violations of obligations, or on tortious acts resulting in damage to property according to section 823 BGB.
2) The limitation according to paragraph 1) shall also apply if the customer claims indemnity for futile expenses in lieu of performance rather than indemnity for damages.
3) Insofar as liability for damages on our part is excluded or limited, such exclusion or limitation shall also apply to the personal liability of our officers, employees, staff members, representatives, and vicarious agents.
7. Retention of Title to Ownership
1) We shall retain ownership in the purchased item until all payments from our business relationship with the customer has been received. In the event of violation of the contract by the customer, in particular delay in payment, we shall be entitled to reclaim the purchased item. Our reclaim of the purchased item shall constitute rescission of the contract. After reclaiming the purchased item we shall be entitled to use it; the proceeds from such use shall be credited against the customer's liabilities - minus reasonable costs of use.
2) The customer shall be obliged to treat the purchased item with care; in particular, he shall be obliged to insure it at replacement value against fire, water, and theft at his own expense. Any necessary maintenance and inspection shall be performed in a timely way by the customer at his own expense.
3) In the event of seizure or other interference by third parties the customer shall immediately inform us in writing so that we can take legal action according to article 771 of the German Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO). If such third party is unable to reimburse us for the court fees and other costs involved in action according to article 771 ZPO, the customer shall be liable for the expenses we incur.
4) The customer shall be entitled to resell the purchased item in the course of ordinary conduct of business; however, he hereby assigns all claims arising to him from such resale against his customers or against third parties to the tune of the final invoice total (including value-added tax) and irrespective of whether or not the purchased item has been resold with or without reprocessing. The customer shall retain the right to collect his claim even after this assignment. Our right to collect the claim ourselves shall not be affected by this. However, we commit ourselves not to collect the claim as long as the customer meets his payment obligations from the proceeds generated, is not in delay in payment, and in particular as long as there is no petition for institution of composition or insolvency proceedings and no suspension of payments. Where this is the case, however, we shall be entitled to require the customer to inform us about the claims assigned and the corresponding debtors, to give us all and any information required to collect the debt from them, to hand over all and any corresponding documents, and to inform the debtors (third parties) of the assignment.
5) Reprocessing or remodeling of the purchased item by the customer shall always be on our behalf. If the purchased item is reprocessed jointly with other items that do not belong to us we acquire joint ownership in the new item in proportion to the value to the purchased item (final invoice total including value-added tax) relative to the other items processed at the time of reprocessing. In all other respects, the same stipulations shall apply to the newly created item as for the purchased item delivered subject to conditions.
6) If the purchased item is joined with other items that do not belong to us we acquire joint ownership in the new item in proportion to the value of the purchased item (final invoice total including value-added tax) relative to the other items joined at the time of joining. If joining occurs such that the customer's item must be considered the main item it shall be deemed to be agreed that the customer grants us joint pro-rata ownership. The customer shall hold the item, thus created, in our sole or joint ownership in safe custody.
7) As surety for our claims against him, the customer shall also assign to us the claims arising to him against a third party from the joining of the purchased item with real estate.
8) Insofar as the realizable value of our sureties exceeds the claims for which surety must be provided by more than 20%, we commit to releasing the sureties to which we are entitled upon the customer's request. We shall be free to choose which sureties to release.
8. Resale
1) The resale of merchandise which we have supplied is permissible solely to end consumers and to retailers who also procure merchandise from us or our national importers in the pertinent countries. We will notify the customers upon request whether we supply merchandise to a retailer.
2) The sale of our products via platforms such as eBay, Amazon and comparable sites as well as via Internet sites which do not provide a presentation of the merchandise emphasizing the high quality and corresponding to the brand image of our products is prohibited.
9. Payment
1) Unless otherwise agreed, payment shall be due without discounts upon receipt of the invoice.
2) Deduction of a cash discount shall only be allowed after separate agreement in writing. We shall only grant a cash discount to the customer if he has always met his previous liabilities towards us.
3) Bills of exchange and checks shall only be deemed payment after they have been honored. Bills of exchange will only be accepted after prior written agreement to this effect; any extra charges shall be at the customer's expense.
4) The customer shall only enjoy counterbalancing rights if his counterclaims have been found to be justified with legal effect, are undisputed, or have been recognized by us. He shall also enjoy a right of retention insofar as his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
5) We shall always be entitled to assign our claims, in particular within the context of factoring. Any terms and conditions of purchase of the customer's that are contrary to this stipulation shall not apply.
6) We have currently assigned our claims to BFS finance GmbH in Verl, Germany. Consequently, payments in full satisfaction of debt can only be made to BFS finance GmbH. The bank details can be found on the invoice.
10. Delay in Payment
If the buyer falls behind with his payments he shall be liable to penal interest to the tune of the ECB's base interest rate plus 10% for the duration of the delay in payment.
11. Assignment of the Buyer's Claims
1) Without our express consent neither the contract concluded with us nor individual claims arising from it may be assigned to third parties in full or in part.
2) Upon request we shall give our consent according to paragraph 1) unless the persons who are to acquire the customer's claim or claims or to whom the contract is to be assigned have counterclaims against us.
12. Copyrights
1) The purchase of our merchandize only entitles the buyer to use our copyrights insofar as this is necessary for the use of the individual item. Technical analysis, use of process information given, or any further use of copyrights is not permissible.
2) Likewise, advertising with our products over and above the level customary in trade or commerce, or advertising use of our business partnership shall also not be permissible.
13. Place of Jurisdiction - Place of Performance
1) If the customer is a businessman, a public-law body, or a public-law special asset, the place of jurisdiction shall be Magdeburg (the location of our headquarters). In payment issues, the creditor shall also be free to sue the customer in Gütersloh or at his seat.
2) Unless our order confirmation states otherwise, the place of performance for delivery and payment shall be our registered office.
14. Final Provisions
This contract shall be construed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. UN purchasing law shall not apply.

If this is the case, the Contractor shall notify the Customer, comply with any and all relevant, current, domestically and internationally applicable regulations (e.g., GefStoffV, GGVS, GGVSee, BioStoffV, UN/ICAD, IATA, EVO/RID, KVO/ADR) and any and all regulations of the destination country which deviate or apply additionally, and prepare in duplicate any and all required declarations (e.g., the pertinent EU safety data sheets), filling them out correctly and attaching a legally binding signature, and send them to the Customer as quickly as possible.

It is marked "Lux Master Time Waterbury Conn, USA"
It was covered in a kind of yellowish dust in my grandma's attic and the back seems to be glued shut. I thought it was wood, but now that it is kind of cleaned up I think it might be some kind of paper mache?? Can that be right? Is there such a thing? Thanks for any light you can shed. I would love to know more about it :)
I want to clean it up more but am afraid to put anything on it now that I think it's paper.

Catching Up with Ross Baird '97
By Margaret Douglas, Director of Advancement
Ross Baird '97
and his venture firm, Village Capital, have been highlighted in numerous publications, including features
in Forbes magazine. After Trinity, Baird attended The Westminster Schools in Atlanta and then graduated from Phillips
Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in government and foreign affairs from the University
of Virginia and a Master of Philosophy in comparative government from the University of Oxford in England, where
he attended as a Marshall Scholar. Baird and his wife, Jen, currently reside in Washington D.C.
Q: Tell us about your time at Trinity.
What are some of your greatest
A: The best part about Trinity was the freedom to create and explore. In First Grade, a few of us finished the class
reading list, and Ms. Sallie helped us develop our own reading list. We saw the Sixth Graders reading White Fang.
We said, "We can do that," and we did. In Fourth Grade, my classmates and I decided we would set the
Wagon Train record and we beat the fastest group to Oregon by two days and still hold the record.
Q: What started you on this career path?
A: Trinity made me realize early on that I could develop new ideas and that they were worth pursuing. I've
always been interested in what I do today—entrepreneurship: discovering, developing, and promoting new
ideas—though that was never a career path. In college, I studied politics and government because I believe they are
the closest things to entrepreneurship that schools offer. When I was at the University of Virginia, I developed a startup idea
to help teach civic education. At Trinity, we had "mock elections" every presidential election year and learned
what the most important public issues were. I didn't see that at other schools, so a friend and I developed a technology
platform to help teach kids civics. I was fortunate enough to have an early investor in this idea named
Bob Pattillo, who backed the idea. The civic education platform was somewhat successful, but the bigger success was my great relationship
with Bob. After completing graduate school, I moved back to Atlanta to work for him, developing andinvesting in new startup ideas that
could change the world.
Q: What is Village Capital?
A: Village Capital is a venture firm that finds, supports, and invests in business ideas that will improve the world. I
developed the firm to invest in new businesses that will have positive impacts on society. We invest in
entrepreneurs in the health, education, energy, agriculture, and financial services sectors who are solving major
societal problems. Over the past seven years, we've invested in more than 70 companies around the world.
Perhaps most exciting, and most important, is that Village Capital invests in entrepreneurs who are in
society's blind spots. Trinity taught me the inherent value of everyone, regardless of who you are, or where you come from,
and I think that our innovation economy under-values most ideas. More than 90 percent
of my firm's investments are in cities outside of New York and San
Francisco, with several in Atlanta. Forty percent are led by women CEOs and 20 percent have African-American and Latino founders.
How did you come up with the idea
for Village Capital?
A: The idea came from my time as both a student at the University of Virginia and an employee of a startup bank in India.
At UVA, I was fascinated by the design of Thomas Jefferson's "Academical Village," where students and teachers
lived next to each other on the lawn at the center of the university. Jefferson suggested that innovation and true
learning do not happen with the top-down delivery of knowledge from expert to learner; instead, teachers and
students are side by side and teachers facilitate learning, from hard knowledge to useful information, through a free
exhange of ideas and concepts.

Amazon's Secrets Finally Revealed
Posted on 01 November 2010
12000 new reasons to advance a regional conservation approach.Either in the depths of a river, on the canopy of a high tree, among the fallen leaves on the forest floor, or even meters underground, the Amazon continues to reveal the most unexpected life forms.
Between 1999 and 2009, more than 1200 new species of plants and vertebrates were discovered throughout the region - that is, one species every three days! - confirming the Amazon as one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
The amazing discoveries, included I the report "Amazon Alive!: A Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009", range from coin – sized multicolored frogs to a new 4 – meter long anaconda, as well as a bald parrot, a new pink river dolphin, and a tiny and surrealistic blind fish that lives in the subsoil, among hundreds of other incredible species. All of these, without even taking into consideration the thousands of invertebrate species that, because of their number, would be impossible to present in a single publication.
From the Amazon to the world
The report, produced by WWF's Living Amazon Initiative with the support of WWF UK and WWF US, was published just at the right moment. Launched among great expectations during the Conference of the Parties (COP 10) on the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) held in October in Nagoya, Japan, the publication attracted the world's attention regarding the urgent need to preserve the threatened natural wealth of this unique region.
"Human activities are causing increasing impacts in the Amazon; only in the last 50 years we lost almost one sixth of the forests in the region", said Francisco Ruiz, Leader of WWF's Living Amazon Initiative, who presented the report to the most important international media, along with WWF International President Yolanda Kakabadse, CBD Executive Secretary Ahmed Djoghlaf, and Colombian Presidential High Counselor for Biodiversity Sandra Bessudo.
Vanishing biodiversity
The Amazon region comprises the largest tropical forest and the largest river basin in the world. With an area equivalent to twice the size of India, over 10% of land species on Earth are estimated to inhabit the Amazon biome. However, we could be losing many species faster than they are being discovered.
Ongoing development models, driven by an increasing demand for meat, biofuels and soy, the impending implementation of large infrastructure and energy projects without appropriate planning , and above all, the lack of an integral vision for regional sustainable development, are contributing to high deforestations rates and an increasing pressure on local environmental resources and services, which the whole world depends on.
Therefore, the high biodiversity rates revealed in this document represent an urgent call for world leaders to promote conservation strategies at a regional level which allow the preservation of this diversity and ensure economic, social and environmental benefits for local populations, as well as for those in distant places, such as Europe and Asia, but still within the broad scope of the environmental influence of the Amazon.

remembrance of quilts past
The work I make is normally commissioned privately, but this one went into a boutique... so I'll never know what happened to her. My clients are generally fashion designers, fashion stylists, art collectors and textile collectors. The pieces are commissioned to become heirlooms, for beautiful boudoirs, to be shown off 'gallery' floors of big houses or for numerous chaises in huge ballroom type spaces.
But this one... I really can't imagine where she ended up. I look at the photos and they're my little pieces of the madeleine cake. Memories of stitching her every little piece, pulling the threads through each different texture, collecting subtly hued beads, my tough old throbbing fingers blistered at the end. I actually used plyers to get through the very tough end layers.
I rather cornily think of her as a beautiful old lady (maybe French?) with pearls round her neck, enjoying the afternoon sun in the rocking chair. White hair pulled up into toppling layers of meringue-like bun, blue eyes watery with excitement, love, memories... gazing through a window onto a beautiful garden where she sees her family history playing in front of her like an old film.
I think this lady wears her doilies well and whilst they're fading from fashion now, they're appropriate for her, like lacy high-necked blouses, matching china and a smattering of carnations and lilies on her side tables. Maybe to counteract all this corny loveliness, she has wild, bohemian memories of illicit affairs... and incredible adventures that make her blue eyes twinkle and shine still. After all, she was so beautiful when she was young.
The great big woolly pom-poms that I lovingly soaked and baked, are bigger than my hands. She has a lacy, cobwebby feel, cut glass crystals like frosty grass, thousands of tiny beads that I sat and hand stitched thousands of times.

oh my! I am in awe over the beauty of this gorgeous quilt that you made! I simply love it. I collect vintage doilies and have been shy about using them, but this is such a wonderful way to use them. I just love it. Do you think I could have permission to use the photos of this on my blog and then of course link to you? I would so love to show it to my friends and family. I am completly enamoured with your blog....

Writing in the December 1 Huffington Post, Kenneth N. Davis, former US Assistant Secretary of Commerce and IBM CFO proposed an actual solution to our economic problems which would get to the heart of the problem. He wrote:
Legislation For a "Level Playing Field": Effective legislation is the surest way to force action on any big national problem. The best plan developed for fairer competition with foreign importers in our domestic market is draft Senate bill S.3899 "The Balanced Trade Restoration Act of 2006", sponsored by Senators Dorgan and Feingold. It lacked enough support to pass when the economy seemed O.K. in 2006. But now with our jobs and deficit situation so serious, updated legislation could attract wide bipartisan support for fast enactment.
Passing S.3899 is especially important if more stimulus money is spent to foster new "green" industries. There's no avoiding foreign competition. For example, Brazil is already supplying many of the large metal blades used in wind power turbines here. S.3899 will assure a competitive market where US producers can reopen and new companies thrive, with both providing good jobs. It will also cause US companies to reconsider the off-shoring of work to supply the US market. Under S.3899, all items brought in from abroad would have new import costs to enter the US that they won't incur if the work is done here.
Not "Protectionist" or "Anti-Globalization" and is Self-funding: No one should view S.3899 as "protectionist" or "anti-globalization". Instead, it's the fairest way to keep our huge market open to all by "leveling the playing field". No industry or country is targeted or favored in S.3899. All imports having the required import certificates are welcome. Certificates of a value equal to our exports will be issued by the U.S. each year and sold in open trading. It's also important that S.3899 is self-funding. It's the only plan being proposed that won't require more government deficit spending, and it will create many thousands of jobs while reducing our trade deficit and excessive borrowing from abroad.

Hi all,
I'm trying (sometimes in vain) to find information about the history of the St.Johns (Fairmantle Street Central School). Although it's origin is fairly well written about by the time it closed in 1980 almost nothing has been passed into records.
I'm looking for stories and photos - especially the 1960 - 80 period - being an ex-pupil myself I would love to put an identity to this school which in its time was the oldest central school in Truro.
Many thanks
Clive Stocker
St.Johns School (Central School, Fairmantle Street) Truro

Bettencourt will have an afternoon tee time on Friday.
"I'll probably take a nice nap," he said.
The winner of the tournament gets a spot in next week's British Open if not already qualified. A jet carrying John Deere Classic players qualified for the Open will leave after Sunday's finish.
Is Bettencourt ready for another trip, AVAPRO FOR SALE.
"Oh yeah, absolutely," he said. "Absolutely I have (a passport). You know, I travel with mine. Just in case. Yeah, it would be great.".

Supplies needed: 2 inch wide masking tape and clear tape, a rubber stamp, card, a permanent black ink (I used stazon)
Ink up your stamp. You need to use a stamp whose image is no wider than your tape. Also be aware not to use a stamp with any bold words or writing as the image will be reversed.
Take a piece of either type of tape and tear a piece off to cover your image. Place the tape over the top of your inked rubber stamp and gently press down on the tape to transfer the ink from the stamp to the tape
Peel the tape off your rubber stamp and tape it to your piece of card. The image has now been transferred from your inked stamp to your card
This transfer was created using the masking tape
This transfer was created using the clear tape
There are various things you can do with the tape lift stamped image. Here I have used masking tape and stuck it directly to an acrylic background that I created earlier. Even though the masking tape has a cream tinge to it, you can still see the background through the tape
You can also use alcohol inks over the clear tape image or you could sponge on dye inks over the masking tape image
Have a play and have fun

Morning in America
Elvis in the Morning
Let Us Talk of Many Things: The Collected Speeches
Nuremberg: The Reckoning
Were an alien, in a happy state of ignorance, to drop out of the skies today and pick up a piece of the large, and daily increasing, oeuvre of William F. Buckley Jr., he would, I think, come to some interesting conclusions. Freed of preconceptions, knowing nothing about Buckley's long-popular TV show, Firing Line, which he hosted for many years, or the political convictions that lie behind National Review, which he founded, the alien might come up with a very different image from the one that sometimes confounds the rest of us. He would see, I suspect, an earnest, largely cheerful man, not anxious to tax himself too strenuously, and yet eager, in a rather old-fashioned way, to pass on what he knows of recent history—and his sense of fun—to as many readers as possible.
The man's interests (the alien would soon notice) are rooted, even in the age of globalism and of the Pacific Rim, in the issues of the cold war and of the war that led up to it; France, Germany, and Russia are his principal concerns abroad, and the people by whom he seems fascinated (James Jesus Angleton, say, the center of his 2000 novel Spytime) are hardly in many people's thoughts today. While such contemporaries as Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal and John Updike chafe and prod at the state of things, investing even the lightest of their books with their driving concerns and a sense of exploration, Buckley's work is distinguished mostly by its sense of ease. He seems content, in fact, to present himself as little more than a host, guiding visitors around the stately home of history.
The alien might know nothing of the two long columns of previous works listed at the beginning of every new book (with such titles as Cruising Speed, Racing Through Paradise, and WindFall). He might be unaware of the 1,429 episodes of what the author's biography always calls "television's longest-running program," the 227 obituaries he has written (of everyone from E.E. Cummings and John Dos Passos to Jerry Garcia and John Lennon), even of the thirty-nine years of twice-weekly columns that take up 162 double-columned pages of his 310-page bibliography. What such a newcomer would be struck by, in fact, is not the sense of ambition, but rather its absence; the books he picked up randomly might baffle him in part through their seeming lack of interest in making, or scoring, a point. Most writers are anxious to insist on how much lies behind their work and how much the books into which they've thrown themselves aim to change a reader's life; with Buckley, the impression is very much the opposite. At the beginning of his collection of speeches, Let Us Talk of Many Things, he tells us how little he puts into each oration and confesses that, during the seventy or more speeches he gives…

P600 (neuroscience)
The P600 is an event-related potential (ERP), or peak in electrical brain activity measured by electroencephalography (EEG). It is a language-relevant ERP and is thought to be elicited by hearing or reading grammatical errors and other syntactic anomalies. Therefore, it is a common topic of study in neurolinguistic experiments investigating sentence processing in the human brain.
The P600 can be elicited in both visual (reading) and auditory (listening) experiments,[1] and is characterized as a positive-going deflection with an onset around 500 milliseconds after the stimulus that elicits it; it often reaches its peak around 600 milliseconds after presentation of the stimulus (hence its name), and lasts several hundred milliseconds.[2][3][note 1] In other words, in the EEG waveform it is a large peak in the positive direction, which starts around 500 milliseconds after the subject sees or hears a stimulus. It is typically thought of as appearing mostly on centro-parietal electrodes (i.e., over the posterior part of the center of the scalp), but frontal P600s have also been observed in several studies.[4] In EEG, however, this distribution at the scalp does not mean the P600 is coming from that part of the brain; a 2007 study using magnetoencephalography (MEG) speculates that the generators of the P600 are in the posterior temporal lobe, behind Wernicke's area.[5]
The P600 was first reported by Lee Osterhout and Phillip Holcomb in 1992.[6] It is also sometimes called the syntactic positive shift (SPS), since it has a positive polarity and is usually elicited by syntactic phenomena.[2][7][8]
The P600 was originally considered a "syntactic" ERP,[6][9][10][11] as it is elicited by several types of syntactic phenomena, including ungrammatical stimuli, garden path sentences that require reanalysis, complex sentences with a large number of thematic roles, and the processing of filler-gap dependencies (such as wh-words that appear at the beginning of a sentence in English but are actually interpreted somewhere else).
- Grammatical errors
A P600 may be elicited by several kinds of grammatical errors in sentences, such as problems in agreement, such as "the child *throw the toy".[4] In addition to this sort of subject-verb disagreement, P600s have also been elicited by disagreements in tense, gender, number, and case, as well as phrase structure violations.[3] A 2009 study has suggested that these errors elicit stronger P600s than the other syntactic stimuli that have been implicated.[12]
- Garden paths
P600s are also known to occur when a sentence contains no outright grammatical error, but must be parsed in a different way than the reader originally expects.[13] These sentences are known as "garden path" sentences, because the reader follows one interpretation of the sentence only to realize later that this interpretation was wrong and he must backtrack to understand the sentence. For example, Osterhout & Holcomb (1992) found P600s elicited by the word to in sentences such as
The broker persuaded to sell the stock was tall.
In sentences such as this, the preferred reading is to interpret "persuaded" as the main verb of the sentence (i.e., "the broker persuaded me"), and upon seeing the word to the reader has to re-analyze the sentence to mean something more like "the broker that was persuaded to sell the stock, he was tall".[6]
- Syntactic errors in music
P600s are also elicited by errors in musical harmony, such as when a chord is played out of key with the rest of a musical phrase. This implies that P600s are not "language-specific," but "can be elicited in nonlinguistic (but rule-governed) sequences."[14]
- Dependencies and complexity
Some studies have found a P600 elicited by words where there is no grammatical error and no "garden path" (i.e., where the word is exactly what the reader would expect), but when the sentence is complex because there are a number of noun phrases active. This has most often been the case when the reader has to "re-activate" a word that appeared earlier in the sentence. For example, in a sentence like "Who did you imitate?", the word who appears in the beginning of the sentence but is actually the direct object of imitate, and must be interpreted in that way (i.e., as "you imitated who?"); several studies have found that after the reader sees the word imitate he or she has a P600 response, possibly as a result of re-activating who.[15] These sorts of P600s get stronger as the number of noun phrases active in the sentences increases, suggesting that the P600 generator is sensitive to the level of complexity in a sentence.[16][17]
- Semantic attraction
Kim & Osterhout (2005) demonstrated a so-called "semantic P600" in sentences that are grammatically correct but semantically anomalous, and in which syntactic reanalysis is more appealing than semantic reanalysis. For example, a P600 may be elicited in the following sentence:
The hearty meal was devouring the kids.
This suggests that the reader would rather interpret the sentence as containing a morphosyntactic error (saying "devouring" instead of "devoured by") rather than a semantic one (meals can't devour kids, but can be devoured by them). The interpretation of "semantic P600s" has attracted considerable attention and controversy in the literature.[18]
There are several theories about what computational processes the P600 may be triggered by. Because it often happens in response to grammatical violations or garden path sentences, one theory is that the P600 reflects processes of revision (i.e., trying to "rescue" the interpretation of a sentence that can't be processed normally because of structural errors) and reanalysis (i.e., trying to rearrange the structure of a sentence that has been interpreted incorrectly because of a garden path).[19][20] On the other hand, other models suggest that the P600 may not reflect these processes in particular, but just the amount of time and effort in general it takes to build up coherent structure in a sentence,[21] or the general processes of creating or destroying syntactic structure (not specifically because of repair).[22] Another proposal is that the P600 does not necessarily reflect any linguistic processes per se, but is similar to the P300 in that it is triggered when a subject encounters "improbable" stimuli—since ungrammatical sentences are relatively rare in natural speech, a P600 may not be a linguistic response but simply an effect of the subject's "surprise" upon encountering an unexpected stimulus.[23]

The clincher for me in this series are Nanoha and Fate's weapons. Damn those things are cool. I want one. It reminds me of Judge Dredd's gun.
Naturally, Nanoha and Fate would still look cool using that gun but Judge Dredd wouldn't look so cool after the swap.
And having it in english must make it simple for the Triad.
I've seen to up ep5 (I think all that's currently aired) and I really want to see just how much cool stuff they end up doing.
Normally I prefer my animes in the 13ep range but I'm feeling a bit sad over this.
Hopefully I'm not obsessing too much but I did dream there was a Sony-system game (3D action with graphics and animation identicle to those high scenes in episode 1) and although I can't remember the details I do remember the controller had three shoulder buttons on either side and each was assigned to hotkey the attacks and such, making for some very rapidfire gameplay.
Then Helena from DOA sold my TV on Ebay and I also remember my friends and I being lost in a sinking cargo ship.

And about your dream: I'd think it'd be better if you used a SNES controller to do the fighting. It's also better to dream of a gekiganger 3 fighting game. It'd be kinda like virtual on except you have the cool stuff like GEKIGAN BEAM, GEKIGAN CUTTER and GEKIGAN SHOOTER.

I'm sorry for how horribly written that last post was. It was made before much-needed sleep was taken.
Anyhow, see, I said it was a Sony system because the controller looked just like a PS/PS2 controller only with an extra shoulder button on each side which allowed for the extra quick attacks. An SNES controller doesn't have enough buttons to accomplish this. And I find them far less comfortable so again it would've been less likely to have been in the dream. How dreams tend to work is they rely on things which were in your thoughts close to the time you went to sleep for 90% of it's content.
I like the Bardiche/Raging Heart's voice moreso because of detail. I think it's pretty cool. Having it in a more mechanical style and english makes it seem more otherworldly and I tend to go for the whole "technical magic" thing.
I find the low-dialogue talking machines in anime (take Tenzan from Tristia for example) sound silly in Japanese most of the time.
It's all mainly a matter of opinion. Yet one more thing I like about this show.

Anyone see ep 6 raw yet?
Excellent episode...nice serious one, too.
I also noticed the director is Akiyuki Shinbo, who also is directing Tsukuyomi Moon Phase this season (busy guy) and did shows like Soul Taker, Petite Witch Cosette, Yamamoto Yohko, Metal Fighter Miku, Yuna Returns, and many others (if you google him, note that sometimes his name is misread as "Shinfusa" so he tends to get split up in databases, but it's the same guy, just a misread kanji is all). Pretty interesting and experimental director overall, he likes to use color pretty dynamically and unusual camera angles and screen composition.

There's 2 things that i like about this anime:
The animation and the magical wand stick thinggy. As for the story... ummm well it needs more originality honnestly.
The music is ok and character design is not in my kind of taste...very standardish style... I dont feel like im going to hug the show just like i did with CCSakura many years ago and Preutty Cure... its just... well IT NEEDS MORE CUTENESS DAMNIT !
Cummon... japanese animators can design better then this ?
I hope this will not go into a Sakura VS Nanoha debate.
Anyways, ill just give a try just for the animation.

Decent series, nice animation, cute characters. But highly predictable and I don't really like the mechanical aspect of the magic. Kinda kills the magic feel imo. Also, Nanaho is a little *too* much of a natural at magic, would've been much more interesting to see her struggle with it more. Now it seems like a cakewalk for her (at least in the first 3 episodes).

Yes, I am surprised too to find myself enjoying this anime.
A simple (in fact, childish) storyline, however the animation quality is excellent.
It borrows the character designs heavily from Card Captor Sakura and Triangle Hearts.
After you begin to like this show, you will be sad to realize that it will only have 13 episodes.

One thing I dislike and like about this show is crammed together as one. Before the opening in every episode, they always have a small synopsis with a few lines changed here or there, which I think is kind of nice. The problem is for half of the animation they use, its from the last episode, and for the second half it's from the episode that you're about to see which might spoil a few things.

After seeing this anime, I realize that at least to me, it would make a great console game. I'd love to play some sort of RPGish game using that magic system.
I never saw Card Captor Sakura (save for 2 episodes), but I'm really loving this, and I've always been a Mahou Shoujo fan since Sailor Moon.

I've seen complaints (not just here) about these and the Triangle Hearts character designs looking "standard" or "too generic"...maybe it's because I'm a relative oldtimer, but I don't really see it myself...I really liked the character design style in both shows (although the highlights were a little odd in Triangle Hearts, come to think). If they look pretty and are well-designed, than that's fine with me.

IDC has revised their forecast for the worldwide tablet market, suggesting that iOS will lead the way with 62.5% share, which is up from 58.2%. Meanwhile, IDC expects Android tablets to dip from 38.7% to 36.5%, while RIM's PlayBook will drop from 1.7% to 1%. Global shipments are projected to reach 107.4 million units this year, 137.4 million in 2013, and 22.1 million by 2016. IDC's Tom Mainelli commented on the progress of the iPad.
After a very strong launch of new products in March, Apple's iPad shows few signs of slowing down. The addition of the Retina Display and 4G capabilities to the third-generation products clearly enticed many current owners to upgrade. And Apple's decision to keep two iPad 2s in the market at lower prices—moving the entry-level price down to $399 seems to be paying off as well. If Apple launches a sub-$300, 7-inch product into the market later this year as rumored, we expect the company's grip on this market to become even stronger.
Of course, one always has to take analyst projections with a grain of salt, especially when they're reaching years in advance, but the forecast for this year seems safe enough. It's definitely easy to imagine Apple gaining ground on the likes of the Amazon Kindle if they can pump out an affordable, smaller iPad to compete head-to-head. There are a lot of good reasons that could get Apple to make a 7-inch tablet.
How well do you guys think Android will compete for the rest of the year? Is it a give that the new iPad will be able to hold its own until the next iPad starts peeping out its head? Does Apple really need t
