You still did not answer. Am I being unclear? Once again, I do not doubt that a belief in the ocean as a higher power can have a profound impact on some people, perhaps helping them overcome addiction. But that is not what I am talking about. I'm talking about applying the 12 Steps as outlined in AA literature to a person who uses the ocean for an HP. My contention is that if one uses the ocean for an AA higher power, the Steps can't work in the way the Big Book outlines, regardless of whether the person's life improves. So while using the ocean as an HP might give the person success in AA, such success will not be because the Step worked in the way described in the Big Book.
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
Which success is more authentic in this case:
Adhering strictly to the 12 steps as outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, or
Achieving sobriety?
If I believed in strict adherence to book learnin I'd be an academic, not an artist.
You seem to want an answer based on an objective interpretation of the situation. I don't put much stock in an Objective Truth, as you know. I don't know how to answer your question because I don't look at my life that way. "Step Eleven 'Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.'" Why can a man not improve his conscious contact with his higher power if it is the power of the ocean, obviously more forceful than he? There is no reason he cannot. If his higher power, the ocean, inspired him to seek a new and improved self, why can he not use his understanding of that power to continually re-create himself in a better form? In humility he finds the power of the ocean compelling enough to stay close to, to humble himself before this power and meditate upon ways to improve himself, to determine what those ways should be and how to go about the task of designing a better human being.
Look, you're asking a lapsed Catholic to answer these very broad questions regarding faith and humility and sobriety. I'm doing the best I can, but it could be that nothing I say will satisfy you in this regard. My belief is that for every 1,000,000,000 people there are 1,000,000,000 Gods/gods/no gods. We each have our own ideas of life and afterlife (or not). Bill Wilson was writing also as a believer with some connection to Catholicism and also the spiritualism of the day. It's difficult to read how intolerant people here are with regard to beliefs, particularly when there's so much whining and bitching about the choice to leave AA and all of its alleged "beliefs". My view has already been described as "transcendental bullshit", yet I don't see any counter explanation for any of it.
Sorry if this doesn't help you. Enjoy your meetings, but when Step 11 comes up, why not put it to the group and see what comes up? I'm sure someone in your AA meetings is way smarter and more transcendental than I am.

Does it especially matter what a person believes? Isn't it more important to focus on what you yourself believe has helped you? I know many people in all areas of life that have had experiences that cannot be explained by science. Try telling an atheist that your dead mother's precense was felt in your room, and you'll get the talk about how there is nothing after this life but dirt and worms. The person that had the loving and calming experience will walk away feeling sorry for the person that feels all that is left for later is dirt and worms. I asked someone one time what he thought Madlyn O'Hair's last views were during the last two weeks of her life, which were so horrible that not even that odious woman deserved it, IMO. I got no reasoning, just as "shame on you!" Well, why? Why couldn't he answer the question?
I try to understand when people say they've used their mind, but then the question always pops up about what was different when you finally used your mind this way instead of using it much earlier and missing out of a few excrutiating experiences. I had a friend that believed she used her mind to cure her breast cancer. Never mind that she also had radiation and other therapies and then died of lymphoma a few years after that. But she truly believed it. I never discouraged it because it didn't matter.

Ink said ;When my treatment counselor asked me what religion I am, I failed to see what that has to do with my physiology.
JJ says; When my 12 step intern counselor asked me what my HP was I told her I dont have one, I dont believe in HP and Im an atheist. She looked at me and asked 'then why would I want to go on living'. I swear to you she said that. I told her that I live my life even fuller because of it. i try to enjoy my life NOW as much as I possibly can because i dont believe I will have one after i die. She looked like she felt sorry for me. lol Then she wrote down in my recovery plan that I need to find a HP. Unbelievable.
Jr Harris; Of course you could also use the cult of Alcoholics Anonymous with their pagan rituals that are directly against the Ten Commandments.
JJ; How so? And how do you know that the person or people that wrote the ten commandments were not murderers and rapists and adulterers? Please tell us, Im dying ti hear it.
You tell me....... oh, and stay out of McDonalds in El Paso, Texas, I hear a lot of AA members frequent them.
"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.
"It's your religion not mine..........
You tell me....... oh, and stay out of McDonalds in El Paso, Texas, I hear a lot of AA members frequent them."
If you don't know the answer to jonnijoy's questions then you have no authority to be using this shit as an argument. You have no comprehension or it and no basis for it.

Discloser says I have met those who Use a door knob as a higher power.
JJ I dont believe you sorry.
Safety in numbers. AA's membership is declining and Scientology is getting a very bad press at the moment. The Methodist Church in Britain's numbers have declined (not that there is anything wrong with Methodists) and they are remerging with the mainstream Church of England. AA and the Scientologists seem to have a great deal in common. Perhaps AA oldtimers could get some of reduction in fees if they have already done a lot of 'auditing', or 'step 4'.
This could be a win-win situation for both cults/religions? If this does go ahead then I would appreciate some credit for this very helpful suggestion.
The marriage of AA and scientology as proposed on the OP forum 7-8-12.
Example; I got a free coffee last night at the Alcoholicscientologanonymous meeting when I met Karla.
If I would have stayed home and watched slip-o-vision I could have missed it.
Discloser; Contempt prior to investigation?
JJ; !5 years of AA and over 1000 mtgs in 5 states. Whatyagot?
13 of those years were 3 to 5 meetings a week.
I've been to conventions.
I never thought about it but have been to meetings in Hawaii, Catalina, LosAngeles, New York, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington State, New Jersey, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.
I sponsored a few people; some really did well, some died.
I got offered sex in AA (I had what they wanted, money and skills)
But I am going to drink at some point for sure. I really think the "Whatyagot" hierarchy of AA tenure and experience is one of the more dangerous points.
AA can be a sort of abstinence time accumulation contest.
Time can be used to marginalize others.
Time can be used to attract sponsee and control them.
Time lost to a drink can promote overconsumption.
JJ- I do not hate AA, some of the neatest people I have ever met are in AA. If that is you in the picture I am sure you are one of those friends. What I hate are the practices that in my opinion can kill, cause mental damage, or cause a deep feeling of betrayal.
I remember when I was betrayed by my sponsees and sponsor, I left AA and really wanted to drink. I knew that to drink while angry or under the influence of the AA belief system was dangerous so I didn't. I was so pissed that I just didn't want to give those AA's the satisfaction of seeing me go down. What I did instead was to work the harm reduction program. I used their elements and created a plan of abstinence that worked for me.
Right now I am abstinent and sober. Abstinence is the complete lack of consumption while sober is a state of mind. Next time someone calls you a dry drunk what they are saying is that you are not of a sober state of mind even though you are abstinent. Most people in AA are not sober in my opinion; their state of mind is not showing no excessive or extreme qualities of fancy, emotion, or prejudice.
This whole post is a joke. You say no program will work if you don't put the proper amount of work into it, then you contradict yourself by saying "you don't have to do the steps, get a sponsor, the only requirement is the desire to stop drinking". BULLSHIT. Go to any AA meeting, and if you're just there to hear what other's have to say, it's not long before some old timer tells you to work the steps, what's your higher power, and gets all up in your business.
I have sadly had to go back to AA, not by choice, and believe me, as soon as I can get out, I will. It's not been long and I've already had members telling me to 'work the steps (I won't)'. The last meeting I was at was a discussion meeting and the guy who was leading the meeting singled people out to speak instead of having people CHOOSE to speak or not. So don't go around saying there's no coercion, or victimization, or bullying, etc that goes on in AA. I've been stalked, 13 stepped, it's just NOT a healthy place for ME. I will go and sit on my butt and listen to what people say, I WON'T divulge and personal information, I won't 'work the steps', and neither will I get a sponsor or pretend to have some 'higher power' so that the old timers won't preach at me.
"At the heart of this thing is the intent of a spiritual experience (not religious)"
Basically, this makes your entire post, and anything you say after, irrelevant. NOOOOO AA isn't religious, not at all !!! Except, it totally is. I scribbled out 'God' in the big book, and replaced it with 'Steven Tyler', and it sound ridiculous...but at least he's a real human being we know for a fact actually exists...
I think Steven Tyler is a great higher power, after all society holds no person in higher regard than the celebrity who imitates life on film or plays rock music.
Please be my friend mr. celebrity man, I want you in my name drop, I want to be seen with you at starbucks. I want to be wanted but am afraid to try, your coat tails can hold the world.
She's not your girlfriend daddy, it's just your turn.
Worship on daddy, worship on...
I love Steven, but I sure wish he would lay off the surgery!
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Tapioca Dreamin'
A song by Disclosure;
Oh Steven, you are my higher power,
Oh Steven, please be my friend,
Oh Steven, please stop the surgery,
Oh Steven, I really care.
Do me one time oh Steven, make granny dirty,
Soil my existence, soil my soul,
I'll look for you at meetings,
Quick, daddy isn't looking,
Only you can fill my hole.
Gosh, why are the Anti AAs always so crude? I have always noticed that about them.
But, I know plenty of people that would do Steven in a heartbeat. I am not one of them, though. I like his music, but have never found him to be attractive. Dirty looking in that heroin chic sort of way.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
No, these were people from high school. I just find him to be rather unclean looking.
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
I actually don't buy into the whole concept of the higher power, my whole point was that how ridiculous does it sound when you replace the word 'god' with 'insert random name/object'. But when it's God, it doesn't sound as ridiculous? Steven Tyler isn't going to do shit for me. He's not going to grant me serenity, or get rid of my character defects or keep me sober. In fact, if I told people that's what would keep them sober, to work the steps and pray to Steven Tyler, they'd think I've done some long term damage to myself.
"I will go and sit on my butt and listen to what people say, I WON'T divulge and personal information, I won't 'work the steps', and neither will I get a sponsor or pretend to have some 'higher power' so that the old timers won't preach at me."

Because I'm going to AA AGAINST my will. And I'm leaving as soon as I can get out. I'm not there to to work the steps, because I'm an Atheist, don't tell me my higher power can be 'anything I want it to be', horse shit, at the end of the day, AA wants it to be god, no matter what, it won't be good enough unless it's god. I'm not telling people in that room a DAMN thing about my private life, because they don't like to mind their own business, and I'm not getting a sponsor. I'm there to listen to what people have to say, that's it, that's what I decided going in. Deal with it. I'm not telling you how to 'work the program'.
And why are you going against your will, byeg00d?
I have nothing to "deal with". It's your problem, not mine. I'm just curious about your situation. Share or don't. It's all the same.

I'll just say it's 'terms and conditions'. Not getting into the details. I didn't walk back through the doors of AA because I wanted to join the program and work the steps, I already was coerced through treatment, and I'm not letting what happened last time happen again. So I'm just taking it for what it is...as in, I'm just going to hear what people say. That is all.
LOL, I never knew he was even in AA. Didn't he relapse and bust his face? With as much as he's spent on his face, he wouldn't deliberately wipe out in a shower.

Judging by your conduct I do not believe that you are in AA.
Or, she IS in AA and is living proof that the program is nothing but useless hogwash full of condescending hypocrites. It's one or the other.
"If I forget who I am, I am myself. If I remember who I am, I am you."
Who is pointing a finger at you at you, Disc? You agree that it is crude and you like that! Fine, some people get into the locker room side of life. I like Steven Tyler but wouldn't do him because he looks like he has a needle hanging out of his arm and I don't find the look appealing.
I accept that you are crude. What's better... is that you do, too! I am having as much fun as you are and then suddenly you have humor failure. What's with that?
Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.
Why is everyone on about Steven Tyler? He's one of the biggest steppers there is.
(TO BE READ WITH EXTREME SARCASM & Vial Spewing HATE from defective character acquired in AA)
OH MY GOD, someone broke his anonymity. Now if he slips the program will l00k bad. What about the traditions? What about the attraction?
This blog is killing people.
Oh well....
I'm off to work instead of a meeting.$$$
See you later , master-hater.
Because of my original comment about replacing the word 'God' in the twelve steps with 'Steven Tyler' and how ridiculous it sounds.
Actually it's when you point a finger at someone you have three fingers pointing back at yourself. It is an old Oxford Group saying which was adopted by AA.

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.

Apparently some of us have to complete by the end of the FY. I guess all good deals in the Navy must come to an end eventually. Where is the meet? I will be the guy who looks like a 4/c middie....
MIDNJAC.......READ Post #212 below. Edit: From MCAS Miramar...south on the 15, about 5-6 miles after crossing I-8, take turnoff marked 94 EAST (go past 94 WEST). Proceed east to EXIT #8 Lemon Grove Ave. Then proceed per Post #212. Allow 'bout 25 min. BzB

A Moveable Feast to present banquet Sunday at Eleanor's Roosevelt's childhood home in Tivoli (videos)
THERE'S A CERTAIN delicious irony about Sunday's upcoming fundraiser, "Dinner at Eleanor's: A Moveable Feast." First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was more interested in conversation, ideas and philosophy at the dinner table than what was on the menu.
Produced by Jane Watson, founder of Green Peas TV, an online cooking show based in the Berkshires and Hudson Valley, Sunday's "Moveable Feast" sequence is being held and filmed at Oak Terrace in Tivoli, where the orphaned Roosevelt and her brother, Hall, lived with their grandmother and assorted relatives for about four years.
The benefit also will be streamed live online at dailyfreeman.com as part of the Freeman Sessions with Stella May. The livestream is a collaboration between Stella May Productions and the Freeman. Live video of the event will be streamed at dailyfreeman.com. If you are interested in being part of this effort, contact Stella May at (845) 331-7955 or at http://stellamayproductions.com.
"Dinner at Eleanor's: A Moveable Feast," a five-course dinner and fundraiser for Val-Kill and ARCS takes place at Tall Oaks, 794 Woods Rd., Tivoli, Sunday from 3:30 to 7p.m. Tickets are $125 per person,and tickets must be purchased in advance at www.arcs.org/dinnerateleanors.php or by mailing a check to ARCS, Public Relations Office, 40 Saw Mill River Road, Hawthorne, NY 10532. Call (914) 785.8283 for more information.
"The Roosevelts employed Mrs. Nesbitt, a bad cook and a terror in the kitchen. But," Watson said, "we need to remember the times. The country was in the midst of the Great Depression and their simple fare surely reflected that reality."
Watson added, "The Roosevelts really did serve hot dogs to guests. I've seen film footage of it. Eleanor loved a picnic and eating outdoors."
A graduate of New York University, Watson said she took the typical film school grad route – taking any job just to stay in the field. She then got tired of the struggle to stay in film and worked as a court stenographer for a number of years.
"About three years ago, it was like a volcano erupted and I knew I had to go back to film. But, I had to figure out a way to make it eventually financially viable," she said.
Food and the outdoors are her twin passions. Watson thus founded her company, True Simmer Productions, from which her signature "Moveable Feast" concept evolved.
"I take exceptional chefs from the Berkshires or the Hudson Valley, put them in weird places that showcase the region and they create incredible food from locally-sourced ingredients," Watson said in an interview at Oak Terrace this week. Continued...
The "Moveable Feast" episodes are shown on Watson's Green Peas TV internet-based cooking show. She described it as a stew, a bouillabaisse, of culinary tourism and the farm-to-table movement. "My style is entertaining, but instructional," she said.
Watson said her aim is to promote the concept of supporting and buying from local food sources. "I want to create a greater demand for locally-produced food by gradually making people aware of the true cost of buying food shipped across the miles, both to their own health and to the community," she said.
Three years ago, when she established Green Peas TV, Watson said she wagered that the internet would replace regular television. "I'm seeing it happen right now," she said.
Her online cooking show can be viewed whenever and wherever it's convenient. "People can watch it when they want to," she said.
"The Moveable Feast," always a fundraiser, already has taken chefs and about 100 guests to Astor Place in Rhinebeck where Chelsea Clinton was married, the bizarre castle at Bannerman Island and the Hudson Athens Lighthouse during a nor'easter.
"That was an experience! We made clam chowder from scratch," Watson recalled.
"There's always a back story to every 'Moveable Feast,'" Watson said. For the lighthouse story, she met and filmed Emily Brunner of Athens, who lived with her father, the keeper, in the lighthouse before it was electrified.
Every "Moveable Feast" is a culinary adventure, Watson said, advising participants to dress elegantly, if they want, but comfortably.
"There's drama, theatrics, a challenge!" Watson said. "I make it an adventure for the chefs and the diners." Sometimes, there's no water at the site; other times, everything must be brought in by boat, including the chefs and diners.
"Everything is about balance," Watson said. "I have to balance the needs of the chefs, the expectations of the paying guests, the ability to get goods and services to the site." Continued...
The chefs themselves are a challenge, Watson admitted. Some chefs want items ready in advance; they're uncomfortable working next to a chef they don't know; using certain locally-sourced ingredients might confound them.
"I find myself always talking people into doing something," Watson said. "I'm almost the P.T. Barnum of the culinary world."
Behind the drama, the challenge – everything, Watson said, is her enduring passion for promoting and preserving the family farm.
"We have forgotten where our food comes from," Watson said. "We have forgotten how hard farmers work, seven days a week, no holidays, no vacations, no overtime, to put food on our tables.

If you just want to use screenshots of the G*Power interface for your publications, then you do not need to ask us for permission. However, in this case we would be grateful if you could send us a copy of your publication.
Although considerable effort has been put into program development and evaluation, there is no warranty whatsoever. Users are kindly asked to report possible bugs and difficulties in program handling by sending us an e-mail .

Windows users:Please make sure to choose "unpack with folders" in your unzip tool.
... 3.1.7 for Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.8 (2 MB) [download]
Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 users:
Please note that Apple's new Xcode (which we used for G*Power 3.1.4 and up) only supports Mac OS X 10.6 or later. Thus, if you have Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need to use G*Power 3.1.3 (2 MB) [download].
Macintosh Power-PC users:Please note that the development of the Power-PC version of G*Power has been discontinued. However, Power-PC users can still download G*Power 3.1.3 for Power-PC. [download PPC version]
If you use G*Power for your research, then we would appreciate your including one or both of the following references (depending on what is appropriate) to the program in the papers in which you publish your results:
Faul, F., Erdfelder, E., Buchner, A., & Lang, A.-G. (2009). Statistical power analyses using G*Power 3.1: Tests for correlation and regression analyses. Behavior Research Methods, 41, 1149-1160.

Please do not be irritated when your browser tells you that it does not know the certificate of our mailing list server. You may ignore your browser's feedback in this instance.
The reason for the feedback from your browser is purely technical. Our university server uses a certificate to communicate its identity that was issued by our own authority. Your browser does not come with our authority's certificates pre-installed because the certificates were not bought from a company such as Verisign or Thawte. This would have been much too expensive for our university. If you wish, you can download and install the certificates from our university's certificate server . However, it is probably not worth the trouble if you just want to let us know your e-mail address, which is why we suggest that you simply ignore your browser's feedback in this instance.
19 April 2013 - Release 3.1.7
Mac and Windows:
- Fixed a problem in the exact test of Proportions: Inequality, two independent groups (uncontional). The problem only occurred when p1 > p2.
18 Frebruary 2013 - Release 3.1.6
Mac and Windows:Mac:
- Fixed a problem in the sensitivity analysis of the logistic regression. The problem only occurred when p2 >= p1.
- Fixed a problem in Fisher's exact test.
12 September 2012 - Release 220.127.116.11 (Mac).
- Fixed a problem with the effect size drawers of ANOVA: Fixed effects. The drawers now appear correctly after clicking on the Determine button.
20 August 2012 - Release 3.1.5 (Mac and Windows).
- Fixed a problem in the test of equality of two variances. The problem did not occur when both sample sizes were identical.
- Fixed a problem in calculating the effect size from variances in the repeated measures ANOVA.
3 July 2012 - Release 3.1.4 (Mac and Windows).
- Added an options dialog to the repeated-measures ANOVA which allows a more flexible specification of effect sizes.
- Fixed a problem in calculating the sample size for Fisher's exact test. The problem did not occur with post hoc analyses.
5 January 2010 - Release 3.1.2 (Mac and Windows):
22 June 2011 - Release 3.1.3 (Mac and Windows):
- Fixed a bug in the ANCOVA module. Changing the number of covariates now correctly leads to the appropriate change in the denominator degrees of freedom.
- Renamed the Repetitions parameter in repeated measures procedures to Number of measurements (Repetitions was misleading because it incorrectly suggested that the first measurement would not be counted).
- Fixed a problem in the sensitivity analysis of the logistic regression procedure: There was an error if Odds ratio was chosen as the effect size. The problem did not occur when the effect size was specified in terms of Two probabilities.
- Mac version: The Window menu now contains the option to hide the distributions plot and the protocol section (Hide distributions & protocol menu item) so that G*Power can be accommodated to small screens. This option has been available for some time in the Windows version (see View menu).
16 December 2009 - Release 3.1 (Mac):
- Added procedures to analyze the power of tests referring to (1) single correlations based on the tetrachoric model, (2) comparisons of dependent correlations, (3) bivariate linear regression, (4) multiple linear regression based on the random predictor model, (5) logistic regression, and (6) Poisson regression.
08 December 2009 - Release 3.1.1 (Windows):
- Re-enabled options dialog for Correlation: Bivariate normal model.
29 June 2009 - Release 3.1 (Windows):
- Added procedures to analyze the power of tests referring to (1) single correlations based on the tetrachoric model, (2) comparisons of dependent correlations, (3) bivariate linear regression, (4) multiple linear regression based on the random predictor model, (5) logistic regression, and (6) Poisson regression.
24 January 2008 - Release 3.0.10 (Mac and Windows):
- Fixed a problem in the X-Y plot for a range of values for Generic F tests. The degrees of freedom were not properly set in the graph, leading to erroneous plot values.
22 January 2008 - Release 3.0.9 (Mac and Windows):
- Eliminated the brushed metal look for better readability under Mac OS X 10.5.
- Fixed some minor GUI problems (buttons had German titles; button in file dialog named "open" instead of "save").
- Fixed problems with distribution plots (plots were sometimes not appropriately clipped when copied or saved as metafile; drawing glitches with some very steep curves).
- The file dialog shown when saving graphs or protocols now uses the user's home directory (myDocuments) as defaults directory.
10 October 2007 - Release 3.0.8 (Mac and Windows):
Mac and Windows:
- Fixed a serious bug in the CDF routine of the noncentral t-distribution introduced in the bugfix release 3.0.7. Please update immediately if you installed version 3.0.7.
8 October 2007 - Release 3.0.7 (Mac and Windows):
Mac and Windows:14 August 2007 - Release 3.0.6 (Mac only):
- Fixed a bug in the function calculating the CDF of the noncentral t-distribution that occasionally led to (obviously) wrong values when p was very close to 1. All power routines based on the t-distribution were affected by this bug.
Mac:03 July 2007 - Release 3.0.5 (Mac and Windows):
- Fixed a bug in the routine that draws the central and noncentral t distributions for two-tailed tests. When alpha was very small, this bug could cause G*Power to crash.
Mac and Windows:
- Fixed a bug in the Power Plot (opened using the X-Y-plot for a range of values button) for F-Test: MANOVA: Global effects and F-Test: MANOVA: Special effects and interactions. Sometimes some of the variables were not correctly set in the plot procedure which led to erroneous values in the graphs and the associated tables.
26 June 2007 - Release 3.0.4 (Mac and Windows):
Mac and Windows:Windows only
- Fixed a bug in the Power Plot (opened using the X-Y-plot for a range of values button) for F-Test: Multiple Regression: Special (R2 increase). The numerator df value was not always correctly determined in the plot procedure which led to erroneous values in the graphs and the associated tables.
- Fixed some minor problems with t tests. G•Power now checkes for invalid null effect sizes in a priori analyses. The t distribution PDF routine is now more robust for very large degrees of freedom by explicitly using a normal approximation in these cases.
- When the Power Plot window was first opened by pressing the X-Y plot for a range of values button, the default was to show 4 plots simultaneously. The default has been changed to 1 plot.
- Corrected some parsing errors in the calculator (in the Mac version, this only concerns text input in normal input fields).
- Corrected a label in the effect size drawer for ANOVA: Fixed effects, omnibus, one-way. In the From variance input mode, the Variance within group field was erroneously labeled Error variance.
- Fixed a problem with moving the main window when the effect size drawer is open. Sometimes the mouse pointer appeared to be "glued" to the window and the movement could not be stopped properly.
1 March 2007 - Release 3.0.3 (Mac and Windows):
Mac and Windows:
- Fixed a bug in the XY-plots for a range of values for F-Test: ANOVA: Fixed effects, special, main effects and interactions. The df1 value was not always correctly determined in the plot procedure which led to erroneous values in the plots.
- Fixed the problem in the plot procedure that (due to rounding errors) the last point on the x-axis was sometimes not included in the plot.
28 February 2007 - Release 3.0.2 (Mac and Windows):
Mac and Windows:Windows only:
- Fixed a probem with tooltips for effect size conventions which were not always shown.
- Added options mainly intended to make G*Power usable with low resolution displays (800 x 600 pixels)
- The distribution/protocol view and the test/analysis selection view in the main window can be hidden temporarily to save space. To hide/show these sub-views press F4 (plot/protocol) and F5 (test/analysis), respectively, while the main window is active. There are also corresponding entries in the View menu.
Mac only:
- The Graph window can now be made resizable. To do this choose "Resizable Window" in the View menu of the Graph window. Besides enabling (restricted) resizability this option initially shrinks the window to a size that fits into a 800 x 600 screen. Deselecting the option restores the Graph window to the fixed size for which G*Power was optimized.
- Fixed a cosmetic problem when drawing "extreme" central and non-central distributions.
15 January 2007 - Release 3.0.1 (Windows):
- Effect size calculation for t-test, difference between two indepent means (two groups), case n1 = n2: The wrong means---those of case n1 ≠ n2---were used to calcultate the effect size. This problem has been fixed.
- Minor cosmetic changes.
- New Readme file.
- Updated installation instruction.
12.01.2007 - First release of version 3.0.0 (Mac OS X 10.4/ Windows XP/Vista)

Versatile Henry Mancini (mono & stereo mixes – plus bonus tracks)
CD (Item 476946) Liberty/El (UK), 1957 — Condition: New Copy
The first-ever album from Henry Mancini – and a wonderfully spooky set! The style here is quite different than most of Hank's better-known film work and instrumental hits – as the record is very moody and laidback – cut with a slow-moving, dreamy sort of darkness that's really compelling! The instrumentation is very unusual – a mix of organ, accordion, and guitar by Laurindo Almeida – all stepped gently along with some spare electric bass bits by Bob Bain, who really knows how to preserve a sense of space in the set. There's a bit of wordless vocals from the lovely Lulu Jean Norman – almost in modes that would show up later in Italian soundtracks – and although there's a bit of an exotica feel to the record, it's very slight, given the lack of any percussion or drums – and instead comes off with a very spooky dream-like quality. Titles include "Bali Hai", "Poinciana", "The Whispering Sea", "Ebb Tide", and "The Naked Sea". CD features the full mono and stereo mixes of the album – plus bonus tracks that include "Young Love", "Free & Easy", and "Cha Cha Cha For Gia" – and "What's It Gonna Be", sung by the Four Freshmen. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Fire the TSA NOW
Why continue to employ & trust a failed bureaucracy
On Sept 11, 2001 we are all aware that a national tragedy occurred. I don't need to remind you of the horrific attacks that we endured that day at the hand of Arab male, Islamic extremists. Apparently there is a great but forgotten truth that needs to be pointed out. That day the government failed & failed miserably to protect the country. They failed to protect the airlines, the passengers, those that worked in the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, the emergency responders in NYC, and so many others.
In the days, weeks, and months after these attacks the govt. decided to resell their ability to protect airline passengers by creating the TSA. In a failure to heed the warning of President FDR (possibly the best thing he ever said or did) the nation was overcome with fear and willingly bought the govts. Product to protect us and provide security even though the wise among us and those with common sense pointed to Israel's El Al and said that's what we should do.
Since the TSA took over airport security (actually airports are not at all secure since these tactics are to secure planes & not the actual airport unlike Israeli tactics) shortly after 9/11/01 via the Aviation & Transportation Security Act of Nov. 19, 2001 several breaches have been made. The shoe bomber and the underwear bomber quickly come to mind. Well they originated from airports overseas you say? Sure they did and I point you to http://www.tsa.gov/approach/harmonization.shtm where the TSA claims "Each day, hundreds of flights depart foreign countries en route to the United States. So while securing U.S. aviation security is critically important, equally important for TSA is working with international partners to secure the global transportation network." Also the site says the TSA ensures that foreign airports comply with TSA standards. REALLY?
Since the TSA has failed at least twice in less than 10 years then why should we continue to allow them to do what they do best, intrude on our privacy & liberty the whole while not getting the job done? It was passengers on those flights that I mentioned above that secured the planes and detained the would be bombers. Passengers, every day Americans, did a better job than the TSA. That proof alone determines that capitalism should prevail and big govt. should be done away with when it comes to airline security.
Private contractors would hand's down do a better job at security and wouldn't have to face the political ramifications of political correctness when it comes to racial profiling. All the airlines should collectively contract with security firms, not Barney Fife or Acme Security, to secure their services. They offer a service that Americans want and need in many cases and it is their responsibility to make it safe. Now as long as Americans are willing to put up with the TSA then airlines won't do this. As long as Americans are willing to fly unsafe then airlines won't do this. When Americans put their feet down and say no to the TSA and demand that the govt. get out of the airline security business & then demand that airlines secure their product then you will see great change and safety take place.
The TSA is not the answer, never has been, and the newly elected Congress MUST put a stop to this intrusive agency. I am glad that the timing of these enhanced pat downs and body scanners is following so closely on the heals of the midterm elections. People are attentive and aware but this time libs & conservatives alike are up in arms.

It's Monday – what you need this week? Here's some great tips for increasing your mental energy to get the best out of your week.
What's really important?
What do you want to achieve?
What's foremost on your mind?
Our job is to make it easier for you to get more out of your day. We use neuro-science to bring to the forefront of your mind every hour what you want to focus on and create. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed and tired, or energised and motivated, this week can make a difference.
Using YOUR JOURNAL in the YOUR GOALS section is a good way to start with three things you are thankful for. This may sound cheesy to some, but this has a very specific action on the brain; when you look for things to be grateful for, it lets the brain observe opportunities better. When your brain is in this state you are more able to solve problems and more likely to achieve more. We added this element because when we studied the most successful people in the top Fortune 500 companies, they all took time in the day to feel gratitude.
Use BE Intent as a gentle friend to help your brain and body make small simple steps that have a cumulative effect.
"When I use BE Intent with intent – LOL, even though it takes half a minute every hour, at the end of the day it feels like I've had another hour of productivity. It really helps me consciously manage my energy throughout the day."
Four easy ways to get your energy pumping.
Our research shows that 97% of people are in a mental energy crisis
and between 20 -50% of your team were tired this morning!
Here's a few good ideas that you could try this week to help keep your mental energy fired up and sustainable and reduce those midday yawns and drooping eyes.
Have you seen the light?
Get the right light, and you'll have lots more energy. But that can be a challenge when we work indoors and don't get to be in the sunshine (which contains brain-activating short-wavelength blue light). "Our circadian rhythms are more sensitive to blue light than any other kind," says Mariana Figueiro, assistant professor at the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Go outside as often as you can during the day (especially right before you need to be extra-alert), says Scott Campbell, Ph.D., director of the Human Chronobiology Laboratory at New York–Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in Westchester, New York. Even 5 minutes of sunlight throughout the day makes a big difference to your energy especially when you are feeling overwhelmed or anxious … try it.
Get pumped with protein
Unless you plan to run a marathon, carbo-loading for energy is out. Instead, eat protein to increase mental alertness and energy, says Debra Hollon, M.S., R.D., a clinical nutritionist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. Protein contains tyrosine, an amino acid that elevates the brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine. It increases satiety, too. And when you feel fuller, you're not apt to overdo the breads and sweets that induce rollercoaster highs and lows.
Eat plant or animal-based protein throughout the day — an egg or high-protein cereal for breakfast, 10 almonds midmorning, a cup of low-sugar yogurt in the afternoon — and your stamina should stabilize.
Random acts of kindness get your bliss chemicals happening ….
Research shows that you get a "helper's high," a rush of endorphins that lasts for hours, when you volunteer, says Kimberly Kingsley, author of "The Energy Cure: How to Recharge Your Life 30 Seconds at a Time." You don't have to look far to help out, she says. "There may be a single parent in your family who needs a babysitter or a lonely neighbor who'd love to chat or a shy team member who might enjoy some company at lunch time.
One researcher shows that the experience of the dopamine element when you do a kind act is similar to that of taking some recreational drugs.
Judith Orloff, M.D., a Los Angeles-based psychiatrist and author of "Positive Energy: 10 Extraordinary Prescriptions for Transforming Fatigue, Stress, and Fear," agrees, and she often folds anonymous good deeds into her day. During her morning coffee run, she sometimes buys an extra cup for someone in need. "When you make someone happy, you feel filled up again," Orloff says.
It's all in the breath …
There is one thing that can instantly change mental energy and help reduce stress and increase energy.
You can go to YOUR FIX and find specific breathing exercises for a whole range of states.
Each week we'll highlight a few more energy tips.
