If you want to dynamically learn about how neurons work go to:
you get to this site enter the Lab, then on the Neurophysiology Lab.) Work through the
material there so that you could write a journal specifically
illustrating the ionic movements, membrane changes, and
electrical changes that characterize the resting potential and
the action potential (the nerve impulse). You might have
to download the Shockwave player if you don't already have it.
Further discussion and illustration of how neurons
work can be found at

Here's a "Web book," The Joy of Visual Perception, that adds valuable detail to our text's treatment of sight!
For an opportunity to see the effects of the additive mixing of primary colors (as we do in class at the appropriate moment) click this link and be particularly concerned as to how good a yellow you can make by mixing red and green light on your monitor screen. Then, try to make white by mixing all three additive primaries (add blue to your "yellow"). Can you explain how this works? You should if you're ready for the exam or just interested in how color displays like this one (or your TV) work because there is no yellow or white light coming from them!
Visual Perception
Here's a way to get a journal topic: go one of these excellent sites offering demonstrations and explanations of visual illusions: Michael Bach's marvelous Illusions site and Illusionworks Hall of Illusions, find an illusion that interests you and write a journal explaining how it "works" (what the underlying cognitive and/or brain processes are). Or just review for the exam.
Sound; Its Physics and Audible Demonstrations
If you have a Java enabled browser (like Internet Explorer or
Netscape, with Java 1.1+ enabled) this site has the only
workable sound demonstrations I've found. Click
to go to the site and then be sure to try all the
Interactive Sound Lab demos. A very good
demonstration of how the ear codes the sound waveform is simply
to listen to music of your choice that has a wide variety of
pitch and timbre using Microsoft Media Player with the
Visualizations set to "Bars" of the "Bars and Waves" option.
Another is to use the "Oscilloscope" visualization.
If you're up for this, then click on this link to
the NCH Tone
Generator, which take you to a site to download a tone
generator setup file. Save this file, say on your Desktop,
and run it. It will install the "NCH Tone Generator"
program and a Shortcut to it on your Desktop (then you can trash
the original downloaded program). Run the program
while Media Player and your sound system is active, and try
playing single tones, frequency sweeps, and tone combinations
while observing the "Bars" display. What does this tell
you about the way sound is represented in the nervous system?
The Rorschach Ink Blot Test uses one's idiosyncratic perception of an ambiguous figure to provide putative insight into cognitive processes, "personality," perhaps even pathology. Because one's "projection" of "self" into an inkblot is based on the same processes as any other conscious state, try and "explain" what you see in this representative blot.

here's another how-to treatment. And don't forget to
read the Academic Integrity Policy linked-to at the top of this
Tracking Task Behavior
Consider what happens if a reaction time study uses a very large number of stimuli presented sequentially and at different but related locations and your task is to "follow" the apparent motion of the "target" by making consecutive motion responses: You're "tracking" the motion, or much more familiarly, you're playing a video game! You can track (follow) the motion with your "cursor," or you can try and negate or hold the target steady as it tries to move ("compensatory tracking"). The tracking task is clearly central to perceptual/motor information processing, and as such is an ideal dependent variable to assess a number of psych constructs and states. For a fine demonstration of a very fundamental method of assessing perceptual/motor processing click on this. Consider what might degrade or enhance your ability to compensatory-track the motion. You'll need to have a Java-enabled browser, but check it out.
Vigilance and Performance on a Subitizing Task
Here's the NEW Vigil
MS-DOS program (just click on the link to download
it). When a vigilance period is over, enter "9" to view
the results OR ENTER "q" (for "quit") following any stimulus
presentation TO TERMINATE THE PROGRAM EARLY AND GET RESULTS.
Note: For proper function and timing of this
and some other DOS programs here, you are directed to This
Link for the latest version of the unique open source DOS
emulator "DOSBbox." For XP users this will be a must, as
Vigil will not run properly in an XP DOS emulation, and, of
course, there is also a Mac version that works fine. For
Windows folk, I recommend the DOSShell "frontend" to
simplify use.
Mortality Salience (Terror Management Theory) and the Value of an Extended Life
Here's a recent discussion and review of TMT (in the context of 9/11) The "classic" TMT mortality salience manipulation is the following: "Please briefly describe the emotions that the thought of your own death arouses in you, and jot down, as specifically as you can, what you think will happen to you as you physically die and once you are physically dead." What about you does this manipulation alter?
Manic Thinking: The speed of presentation and processing of
mood inducing statements or pictures of faces affects the
induced mood.
Based on the groundbreaking work of Emily Pronin and Daniel Wegman, we have confirmed that 'faster thinking' significantly and independently improves mood using 'happy' and 'neutral' faces (as well as by positive and neutral statements). E-mail me for the four slideshows we used, which present 12 images at 2 sec. and 4 sec. per picture.

Skiers: Progressions Ski This Way Skiing in Circles!
John C. Santelli, PhD
Professor Emeritus, School of PsychologySo long as authority inspires awe, confusion and absurdity enhance conservative tendencies in society. Firstly, because clear and logical thinking leads to a cumulation of knowledge (of which the progress of the natural sciences provides the best example) and the advance of knowledge sooner or later undermines the traditional order. Confused thinking, on the other hand, leads nowhere in particular and can be indulged indefinitely without producing any impact upon the world.
--Stanislav Andreski, Social Sciences as Sorcery
[As opposed to erroneous, epidemiological, social beliefs]. . .the selective forces that scrutinize scientific ideas are not arbitrary and capricious. They are exacting well-honed rules that do not favor pointless self-serving behavior. They favour all the virtues laid out in textbooks of standard methodology: testability, evidential support, precision, quantifiability, consistency, intersubjectivity, repeatability, universality, progressiveness, independence of cultural milieu and so on.
-- Richard Dawkins
We should try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue.
--Rainer Maria Rilke
The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless.
--Steven Weinberg
Those who reject the scientific conception of man must, to be logical, oppose the methods of science as well.
--B. F. Skinner
It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
--Sherlock Holmes
Thus do pretenders to science vainly and preposterously seek for remedies, ignorant of the true nature of things.
--William Gilbert, De Magnete
Learn from science that you must doubt the experts.
I'm going to describe to you how Nature is--and if you don't like it, that's going to get in the way of your understanding it. It's a problem that physicists have learned to deal with. . .whether they like a theory. . .is not the essential question. Rather, it is whether or not the theory gives predictions that agree with experiment. . . . The theory of quantum electrodynamics describes Nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And it agrees fully with experiment. So I hope you can can accept Nature as She is--absurd.
--Richard Feynman
Consciousness is the biggest mystery. It may be the largest
outstanding obstacle in our quest for a scientific understanding
of the universe.
Experience is information from the inside; physics is
information from the outside.
What a wonderful thing, to be conscious! I wonder what the
people in New Jersey do?
--Woody Allen
[We]will in the end have to admit that some things can only be grasped up to a certain point, and that Nature always retains behind her something problematic which it is impossible to fathom with our inadequate human faculties.
Yes, many things there are, which seem to be Perplexing, though quite falsely so, because They have good reasons which we cannot see....
--Dante, Purgatorio
It is truly extravagant to define God, angels, and minds, and to know precisely why God defined the world, when we do not know why we move our arms at will. Doubt is not a very agreeable state, but certainty is a ridiculous one.
A tolerably clever man began his book with these words "Man, like all animals, is composed of two distinct substances, the soul and the body. If anyone denies this proposition it is not for him I write." I nearly shut the book. Oh! ridiculous writer, if I once admit these two distinct substances, you have nothing more to teach me.
Everything in the world has changed except our way of thinking.

I don't think. My thoughts think for me.

-- E. M. Forster
...while some areas of human life show great diversity, in others, human behavior stays fairly constant across the whole range of human cultures, and some aspects of our behavior are also shared with our closest nonhuman relatives. . . .those seeking to reshape society must understand the tendencies inherent in human beings, and modify their abstract ideals in order to suit them. . . .for the first time since life emerged from the primeval soup, there are beings who understand how they have come to be what they are. To those who fear adding to the power of government and the scientific establishment, this seems more of a danger than a source of freedom. In a more distant future that we can still barely glimpse, it may turn out to be the prerequisite for a new kind of freedom.
--Peter Singer, A Darwinian Left
We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on
our hands. But we can stop it. We can admit that
we're killers, but we won't kill today.

The beast does but know, but the man knows that he knows.
--John Donne
If we had to offer the briefest explanation of all the evil that men have wreaked upon themselves and upon their world since the beginnings of time right up until tomorrow, it would not be in terms of man's animal heredity, his instincts and evolution: it would be simply in the toll that his pretense of sanity takes, as he tries to deny his true condition.
--Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms.

When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind.

Remind yourselves what you used to enjoy doing before you got bogged down in the humdrum nature of life together. Play games together, go out walking - do whatever it was that used to make you feel alive and happy.
12. Listen
Talking is obviously important, but listening is just as vital. If one of you has something they need to say (no matter how trivial it seems), then the other really needs to listen to them properly and, if necessary, do something to change.
13. Plan dates
Knowing that you have a special date coming up (even months ahead) can be good for both of you. These dates can be specific events, such as birthdays, anniversaries, or simply evenings you set aside.
14. Say 'I love you'
Those three words are often forgotten as relationships progress, but, said properly, they mean so much. In fact, you don't even need to say them ? send a text or email and say it.
15. Pay each other compliments
Tell the other one how good they look, how nice a shirt or top looks, or even on the choice of footwear. Compliments make everyone feel better.

2010 Dodge Ram V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 700 miles
My new 2010 dodge ram 1500 runs rough and hesitates like it is misfiring and has loss of power when it is running in the eco mode. It has a hemi with a multi displacement engine. I took it back to the dealer and they said that is the way they run, and they haven't had any other complaints. I find this hard to believe. No answers from the dealership. Any ideas.

I'd love to offer you some more excellent information, as a sample of what will be in the Traffic Sucking Tactics course. Today, I want to talk about Google. Now, this is my speculation regarding Google as they do not share their ranking tactics with anyone.
I remember when I used to get involved with the 'discussions' on forums regarding the duplicate content penalty. It used to frustrate me that I could never get a straight answer for love nor money. Some people swore up and down that there was a penalty and Google would send you to Internet hell and others would say that it was all a joke and you could post content from others, such as PLR articles, without issue.
Well it didn't take me long to do an experiment of my own. I purchased a number of domain names and setup about 150 wordpress blogs to test the theory. Now, I used a lot of the strong SEO tactics to market these sites, including back linking. It was a lot of effort, (actually a lot of programming to automate many of the steps), but it was a very interesting experiment to say the least.
Today for the first time, I'm going to share my findings with you. Google will not send you to the Internet hell and they will index your sites, but you can be pretty sure that they will not rank any of them very well. Out of the complete set of sites, within months of lighting them up, I don't see more then twenty to forty visitors to the sites.
To me, reposting duplicate content is an absolute waste of my time and resources! Fortunately I was rewarded over the past year and these duplicate content blogs have paid for their expenses, but barely. Definitely not a business model I would recommend.
But I wanted to take the experiment to the next level and test partial duplicate content. Here's where the results become a little more interesting, from a business point of view.
The next part of the experiment was to take a WordPress blog that was doing ok and post re-written PLR articles on it. Now, all I did was run the article through a word substitution program that lets you select alternate words. Now, that was as successful as a completely original content article. They got indexed and ranked well.
So, this is a tactic that I may use in the future. Trouble was it took just about as long to re-write an article then it would to just write a new article.
Next, I've tried to post original headers to an article that was a reprint of the article. So, partial original content and partial copied content. Initially it looked good. I was ranked, but not well. The article eventually made it to the front page but over time, the listing fell. This was on one of my popular sites, so it was a bit dissappointing.
The end result on these experiments, in my mind? Original content is the way to go. Take the extra time and write your information to your careful keyword research. Doing this, I promise that you'll be ranked and ranked well.

If you search the Scottish Courts website under "intellectual property" you won't find this -- which is why the IPKat missed it on his prowl -- but Wise Property Care Limited v White Thomson Preservation Limited and others [2008] CSOH 46, a passing-off decision of Lord Matthews (Outer House in the Court of Session), was posted on the Scottish Court website this morning. The Kat thanks his friend and fellow runner Gill Grassie of Maclay Murray & Spens for this vital piece of information).
In this action the Pursuer [says the IPKat: that's the Scottish term for 'claimant' or 'plaintiff'] White Preservation, a trading division of Wise Property Care, successfully defended an application for recall of interim interdict (interim injunction) which had been granted without notice against White Thomson Preservation Limited and others. Says Gill (you'll have to do the delightful Scottish lilt yourself when you read it out):
The IPKat says, it's depressing to see that passing-off actions in Scotland are as wordy and as fact-specific as their counterparts in England and Wales. This suggests a universal truth that, where IP is protected at the level of unregistered names, the courts do not so much apply the law to the facts as determine the nature of the facts and thereby establish the parameters of the law. Merpel says, but itsn't "justice in the individual case" something we strive to achieve?
"You will see that the case has a complex background borne out of a family dispute where the surname of the brothers involved was 'White'. The Pursuer successfully argued that the Defenders' use of the name White Thomson Preservation Limited was confusingly similar to their trading division 'White Preservation' and that the Defenders' use of that name passed off their business and services as those of the Pursuer.
As ever it's the facts that make the case quite interesting, with the Defender trying to pick up and run with goodwill which, he was effectively saying, had been lying dormant. The suggestion that this somehow gave him a defence to passing off which is assessed on an objective basis was quite rightly rejected by the judge. It is good to see the Scottish courts (and in particular recently appointed Court of Session judge) taking such a firm approach at an early interim stage of an action".

(SportsNetwork.com) - The San Antonio Spurs will begin their long Rodeo trip Monday night when they head to New Orleans to take on Southwest Division rivals, the Pelicans.
San Antonio will be gone for nine games, spanning well past the All-Star break. They will visit the east coast, they'll visit the west coast and a few spots in between and they'll do so without several key contributors.
Manu Ginobili (hamstring) was the latest to join the injured list for the Spurs. He'll be gone a few more weeks as Kawhi Leonard (finger) and Danny Green (finger) are both closer to a return. Green might come back on this trip.
On Saturday night, the Spurs halted a season-long three-game losing streak with a 95-93 win at home over the Sacramento Kings.
Tim Duncan had 23 points, 17 rebounds and five assists to lead the Spurs. Tony Parker added 18 points and 10 assists, Patty Mills poured in 15 and Boris Diaw finished with 14 for the Spurs.
"What's important is winning," said Popovich. "It didn't matter if we won five in a row or lost five in a row, we play each game and try to win then move on to the next one."
Tiago Splitter returned from an almost month-long absence with a shoulder issue to score two points in 16 minutes.
The Pelicans have played great ball of late with four wins in their last five and five in their last seven.
Anthony Davis scored a game-high 24 points to go with eight rebounds and six blocked shots, as the Pelicans notched an 88-79 win over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday at New Orleans Arena.
Davis, who missed Wednesday's 88-77 setback in Minnesota with a sore left index finger, set a franchise record by posting his sixth consecutive game with at least four blocked shots.
"I'm just trying to protect the rim," Davis said of his record-setting streak. "My teammates are doing a great job of not fouling while guys are driving to the basket, so I'm there to clean it up."
Tyreke Evans added 11 points and six assists off the bench, while Eric Gordon netted nine points for the Pelicans.
The Spurs have won both meetings with the Pelicans this season and have taken nine of the last 10. San Antonio has won seven of its last nine in New Orleans.

From the name of a Blue Peter cat to whether Jeremy Clarkson's voice can be used outside the corporation, the BBC has seen its fair share of scandals.
Now, just over a year after the death of Jimmy Savile, allegations of widespread abuse have emerged with the Met police saying the former BBC presenter could have abused 200 victims.
The BBC director general, George Entwistle was accused by MPs of failing to "get a grip" on the crisis after a Newsnight programme on the allegations was ditched.
In 2003 the broadcaster was plunged into crisis after the tragic events that led to the suicide of Dr David Kelly, who was named as a source for a report on the Today programme about the government's preparations for the Iraq war.
The corporation has also been hit with a number of bizarre scandals, including a storm over its Diamond Jubilee coverage which was branded "irreverant".

Yankees fall short to Sox
Early HRs by Ellsbury, Gomes give Boston the lead; Jeter back on DL
Updated 6:20 am, Saturday, July 20, 2013
Shortstop Derek Jeter went back on the disabled list. Leadoff hitter Brett Gardner was ejected for throwing his helmet. And outfielder Zoilo Almonte sprained his ankle during the game.
The already limping Yankees were further depleted in the first game after the All-Star break on Friday night when they lost 4-2 to Boston to fall seven games behind the AL East-leading Red Sox.
"You just deal with it," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "No one is going to feel sorry for us."
The Yankees fell behind 3-0 when starter Andy Pettitte gave up homers to Jacoby Ellsbury and Jonny Gomes. And they were ill-equipped to come back when Gardner and Almonte left the game and joined already injured starters Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson and Francisco Cervelli.
"It happens to every team, every year. Injuries are a part of it," Jeter said before the game. "I'd be lying to you if I said it wasn't kind of odd the way things have been happening. You get guys back, they get hurt again. The number of guys is something that I haven't seen here since I've been here, but other teams have to deal with it, too."
The Yankees placed their captain on the 15-day DL with a strained right quadriceps that he injured in his first game back last week after being out all season with a broken left ankle. Jeter rejected the possibility that he returned too soon from the injury he sustained in last year's playoffs.
"I don't think that's the case," he told reporters before the series opener on Friday. "I was ready to come back; I came back; I was running fine. This happened, but this happens to guys who go through full spring trainings and play a lot of games."
The Yankees had waited to make a decision, using the four days of the All-Star break for the shortstop to receive treatment. Jeter said he had hoped to play against the Red Sox, but he hadn't tested his leg in anything close to a game environment.
"Right now, it's fine. But I haven't run," he said. "I'm pretty sure they'll make me run before they have me play."
The Yankees signed infielder Brent Lillibridge from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Granderson has resumed taking on-field batting practice at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa, Fla., and says he is "working on repetition" with his swing.
Infielder Jayson Nix, sidelined by a strained right hamstring, got six at-bats during a simulated game in Tampa.
Rodriguez is playing with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, likely the final stop in his rehabilitation from left hip surgery.

The incident took place on Route 17 and Airmount Avenue in Bergen County.
Police say two men barged into Aydin Jewelry store and claimed they were FBI agents investigating a possible meth lab. One suspect was dressed in a royal blue jump suit with a hood.
Moments later, one of the robbers pulled out a handgun and zip tied three store employees.
The workers were put in a back room giving the robbers time to steal jewelry from a safe and display cases.
After the suspects took off, workers at the deli next door freed the victims.
"They told us they were robbed. I untied him," a worker named Safi said.
Cindy DeFranco works next door at velvet hair salon. She can't believe this happened just before noon along busy Route 17 in Ramsey.
"The owners are such sweet men. I can't believe it," she said. "Ramsey Is such a great place. Thank god no one was hurt."
Anyone that has information regarding this crime is asked to call the Ramsey Police Department at 201-327-2400.

By Denis Pinchik ST PETERSBURG, Russia, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Workers at a Russian assembly plant run by U.S. carmaker Ford Motor Co. stopped their week-long go-slow on Monday, but labour union officials said action may resume if pay demands were not met. The plant in St Petersburg, Russia's second city, was one of the first to be opened in the country by a foreign carmaker and plans to turn out 36,000 Ford Focus models this year.

It's not all up to the government or the president- you are absolutely correct.

But really- government policies do make the problem worse- for instance, corn subsidies which cause overproduction of corn, artificially driving down its price.

If we abolished them and lifted quotas on the importation of sugar cane, we'd see a lot less high-fructose corn syrup in everything we eat.W. E.

Tulisa Contostavlos may be about to unveil her own fashion range for Bank entitled TFB, but the 'X Factor' judge hasn't always been quite the style icon.
The N-Dubz singer is set to launch her debut range at Westfield shopping centre in London today, where no doubt she will be styled to perfection by her team.
But will the range designed by the star include any of her old looks?
Since finding fame with Dappy and Fazer back in 2008, there's been tracksuits borrowed from Vicky Pollard to diamante encrusted items straight from the back of Katie Price's wardrobe, not to mention THAT flamingo dress she wore to the NTAs earlier this year.
While she's now looking much more polished and preened as she goes head-to-head with Nicole Scherzinger in the 'X Factor' style wars every Saturday night, we look back over some of her less well chosen looks...

After prototypes were caught more than once by our spy photographers, Hyundai's i40W is coming into focus. These renderings tease the i40W — otherwise known as the Sonata wagon — before its Geneva show debut. Later in 2011, Europeans will get the first chance to buy the i40W, which will be offered with a range of small gas and diesel engines. If the wagon heads to the U.S., don't expect it before 2012. In Europe, the i40W will compete against cars like the Honda Accord wagon on which the Acura TSX Sport Wagon is based, and the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer on which the Buick Regal is based.The renderings show a vehicle with a front end that looks awfully similar to the 2011 Elantra sedan. The lower fascia of the two cars differs and the general proportions appear to be consistent with the Hyundai wagon we've spotted testing before. If the Sonata wagon does make it to the U.S., it will fill the spot vacated by the last-generation Mazda6 and outgoing Volkswagen Passat.Hyundai currently offers the 2011 Elantra Touring wagon in the U.S. and a wagon variant of the next-generation 2012 model is set to follow. Can the U.S. market support another Hyundai wagon?

The Lingerie Football League Fired Some NFL Replacement Refs For Incompetence
The current NFL season has been marred by horrible officiating that has effected the outcome of several games including last night's Monday Night Football game. In case you missed that debacle, here is the footage. And apparently, some of these refs were FIRED from the Lingerie Football League for incompetence.
According to a Facebook post by the LFL, supposedly allegedly, several crews that were fired by them wound up in the NFL:
Because of the LFL's perception it is that much more critical for us to hire officiating crews that are competent, not only for the credibility of our game but to keep our athletes safer. Due to several on-field incompetent officiating we chose to part ways with with a couple crews which apparently are now officiating in the NFL. We have a lot of respect for our officials but we felt the officiating was not in line with our expectations.
We have not made public comment to date because we felt it was not our place to do so. However in light of tonight's event, we felt it was only fair that NFL fans knew the truth as to who are officiating these games
When you get fired from the LFL, you shouldn't be any where near a football field let alone officiating at the highest level! If Goodell doesn't come off some money quick and pay the real refs, there will need to be an asterisks by this season because this year has been a complete and utter embarrassment and impossible to take seriously!

This is a recap for all the Mets Fans who don't know whats going on with the potential Beltran deal. Courtesy of MLBTR.
On Tuesday at the Winter Meetings, the idea of the Red Sox acquiring Carlos Beltran surfaced.
For the remainder of the day, we heard a few rumblings.
Then "A Source" involved in the discussions told Joel Sherman of the New York Post that nothing was close with Boston and Beltran (Twitter link). Sherman was told yesterday that the Red Sox see Beltran as a fallback.
Then we got an update form SI.com's Jon Heyman, who spoke to one NL executive who estimated the Mets would have to eat about half of Beltran's salary in order to move him (Twitter link).
But according to the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, the Red Sox and the outfielder met again Tuesday night.
Newsday's David Lennon reported a deal between the Red Sox and Mets has gained some traction. While a trade is still a long shot, Mets GM Sandy Alderson is not averse to eating salary to move him.
Lennon also speculates on a Daisuke Matsuzaka-Beltran swap, as the two are owed nearly the same amount of money ($20MM vs. $18.5MM, respectively).
Matsuzaka would need to waive his no-trade clause to facilitate such a deal.
Hey, you know where I stand with Beltran and trading him - READ HERE
In my opinion the only way this trade goes down if Alderson will try to get someone like Marco Scutaro for Beltran. The Mets can also add to the deal and try and pry a pitcher called Buchholz...just my opinion..
In a perfect world, I would actually take Ellsbury and Buchholz and add Mejia to the deal to pry them. But I am not Alderson.
Please make comments and let us know how you feel about this possible deal..

Main :: StageScape M20d Mixer Community Support
by scott93933 on 2012-11-25 13:05:51.0380
Hi all,
I'm loving my M20D, but I can already guess at which part is going to fail first. I'm putting my money on the spring and lock mechanism that holds the SD card in place when you press it in and which ejects it when you press it again. I'm saying this because I've had three digital cameras that had SD card slots and they all failed the same way over time. I really want to preserve the SD card slot in the M20D for use while gigging only and I'm not big on getting an externally powered USB drive for my home studio (though I could if I really had no other choice).
So here's my question: Can I plug an SD card reader into either of the two USB ports on the M20D and use that card reader with the M20D?
If someone doesn't answer in the next couple of days, I'll try it and let you guys know if it works!
by scott93933 on 2012-11-26 12:10:08.0700
I just spoke with Line6 Technical Support and they tell me that you cannot connect an external card reader to the M20D and access your SD card that way. Out of curiosity, I asked how much he estimates it would cost to replace the card reader if the unit is out of warranty and the service tech estimated $60 - $80, which is much less than I thought it would be. So I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going to use a powered, external USB drive for our rehearsals and use the SD card for recording our gigs.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Oh, I have no doubt Kate will get away with it. When was the last time someone on this show (other than Nick) actually paid for their crimes?
I just hate what this regime has done to Kate. As one of the show's best actresses, Lauren Koslow deserves a lot better than this crap.

I remember when Kate was "dying" in the hospital, she "swore" that she would never interfere with her sons' love lives again. I knew that would never happen. I get soooo irritated with that. It's become her total character. Like her only existence on this show is to be Mommy Villain. Boring.
Sucks no BBQ, but whoever mentioned it before, it's true, there is no one left to attend the BBQ.
You notice it's been months since Alice Horton was even MENTIONED? They could at least throw a line in here and there that someone is going to visit her. Ugh.

"Relax nobody's having sex.... at least not yet"
She hasn't been mentioned since Christmas, I think they'll only mention her around holidays, until Frances Reid dies or can come back, which is doubtful. Hopefully, they don't give her a half-ass funeral, I want them to go all out.

|Chloe collapsing is a nice little cliffhanger, but is anyone thinking she faints due to all this stress while being pregnant? LOL!

After all... tomorrow is another day!
Alice was mentioned just in Friday's show when Maggie talked about taking donuts to the hospital but hers weren't as good as Alice's.
At this point, methinks they are saving the Alice Horton funeral episode for the final episode of Days of our Lives.
|Jun 20 2009, 10:51 PM Post #52
I don't even remember if they had a funeral for Tom Horton, much less going all out. I remember when Macdonald Carey died, Tom Horton was always magically upstairs working in his office for YEARS before they even killed off the character of Tom.
I hope they don't do the same for Alice.
And Nicole sneaking Johnny to see Sami? Not that I dislike this, but it confuses me greatly. Is Nicole truly beginning to grow on conscience concerning Sami?
|Jun 21 2009, 01:13 AM Post #53
After all... tomorrow is another day!
They had a funeral for Tom. It was well attended and a lot of Hortons were brought back for it.
You can watch it on YouTube starting with this clip if you'd like.
I don't know if I buy Nicole sneaking Johnny out to see Sami in the context of the direction the character has been taken of late and her relationship with Sami, but didn't Nicole help Sami with her Will custody battle somehow when she was married to Lucas?

I saw it a couple hours after I posted. Hilarious, I'm psychic or something.
Has anyone ever wondered if maybe Ariana is actually an undercover agent... and Rafe is still one? And they're partners... not brother and sister. At this point this is exactly what I'm thinking.
|Jun 21 2009, 01:07 PM Post #55
Nahh ... I mean she just admitted in an interview she is his "big sister" and that they share a tragedy from when they were children. And when they are alone they refer to eachother as brother and sister.
I do believe he is still some kind of agent..and she could be in law enforcement too.. But I still think they are siblings, and the suprise at seeing eachother seemed genuine when she joined the show.
Edited by Taelyn, Jun 21 2009, 01:09 PM.
|Jun 21 2009, 01:49 PM Post #56
Also on the NBC character profiles they are siblings. We will find out more about Arianna once her and Brady get started. I think Rafe's sister was brought on as a character to help to reveal his past as he is the strong silent type and needs someone else other than Sami to speak [or in Rafe's case] try to avoid talking about the past too. He may be still undercover with the FBI but Arianna's private conversations with Rafe make no sense at all if she's an agent herself. For example why would she nagging him about the construction job? She could blow his cover by pointing out how inappropriate the job is etc. JMO

How could Chloe be pregnant? Her and Lucas haven't had sex in months and even if they did, i'm glad it happened off screen.
If I have to watch a Luloe sex scene before that, i'll barf.
Chloe collapses because of the poisoned fruit she eats. Spoilers:

Many Hollywood babes are vegetarian—Natalie Portman, Olivia Wilde, Kristen Bell, Carrie Underwood, Famke Janssen. But model Joselyn Cano throws down the gauntlet so hard with her Instagram, likely earning the crown of babeliest vegetarian in the game right now.
The 24-year-old from Huntington Beach (where the surf babes flow like wine) doesn't have a bad photo or video in the lineup. She's got a better streak than the 1972 Miami Dolphins. She explodes out of bikinis, she detonates in tiny dresses, and she's got measurements that even Jessica Rabbit would find perplexing. Worship her and her vegetarian power!
Spa day here in Mexico City. That's why that sexy white towel looking thing is on my head-waiting for the facial to dry so my hair doesn't get stuck ( since a millón of you point out every single thing in a picture, and yes I rocked it after I left the spa 👵🙆Does anybody know about any upscale lounges in Mexico City DF 🎉 the 👵👴 are thinking of going out. Check that out on the corner, yes it's a green juice 💗

text: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) are working to reschedule more than 200 peer review meetings that were cancelled due to the federal shutdown earlier this month. Issuing this new notice, the NIH hopes to review all applications during January 2014 Council meetings, rather than delay all until May 2014, as was announced earlier this month. Although a small number may still need to be reassigned to May 2014 Council, those applications will be allowed to be "refreshed" by the applicant. The notice includes a timeline for withdrawing the existing proposal (November 15) and submitting a "refreshed" application (December 11). "It is unfortunate that the government shutdown has forced all of us to scramble in this way," NIH Deputy Director for Extramural Research Dr. Sally Rockey said on her blog, Rock Talk. "I very much appreciate that NIH can pull together with the extramural community in difficult times to ensure that great science continues."

Towards a Civl Society Friendly society
The foremost political objective of the Western Balkan and Turkey
is accession to the European Union.
This step is not automatic: the negotiation and ratification of an Accession Treaty must come first. But the treaty itself is not enough to make accession a success: since new Member States are to share certain basic values with the existing Member States. These basic values of the Union must not only be accepted but have to be implemented in the society of new member states. New legislation has to be adopted, to be done at political level. New legislation needs then to be effectively implemented, which requires adaptation, capacity building and enforcement at administrative level. However, in order for European accession to succeed, new legislation and principles have also to be accepted by citizens and be monitored.
Both citizens at an individual level, and organised civil society at a political and general level, should ensure that society implements the necessary changes. To be able to properly advance towards and achieve accession to the EU, new legislation and principles have to be understood by the population and be monitored effectively. The role of civil society is crucial in this respect.
In order to reply to the need of fully engaging civil society in the EU integration process, an overall strategy for supporting civil society has been developed in the framework of IPA under the Civil Society Facility (CSF), which consists of three strands:
i. Support to civic initiatives and capacity-building thereby enforcing the role of civil society at local, national level.
ii. A people 2 people programme supporting visits to EU institutions and bodies to exchange experience, know-how and good practice between Beneficiary and EU civil society organisations (CSOs).
iii. Partnership Actions carried out between Beneficiary and EU CSOs leading to a transfer of knowledge and creation or strengthening of networks.
The CSF was presented at the DG Enlargement's civil society conference which was held in Brussels on 17 and 18 April 2008. All stakeholders consider it a useful method of enhancing civil society in the IPA region. Member States and other donors have expressed strong interest in providing expertise and in contributing to the implementation of the CSF.
The Facility focuses on Civil Society Organisations[1] (CSOs), i.e. all not-for-profit structures outside government and public administrations[2] and is part of the Civil Society Facility (CSF) launched in 2008. The CSF offers the opportunity to better meet the needs of the region by providing support to civil society development and dialogue. This will be coordinated and streamlined by focusing on different areas of intervention such as civic initiatives and capacity building at a national level, "People 2 People" visitor projects as well as activities carried out in multilateral partnerships between CSOs both in the Western Balkans and Turkey and in the EU, which may lead to a transfer of knowledge, the set-up of new networks, as well as trans-national innovative projects.
[1] The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) defines 'civil society organisations' as "all organisational structures whose members have objectives and responsibilities that are of general interest and who also act as mediators between the public authorities and citizens".
[2] e.g. Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), professional and business associations, employers' organisations, trade unions, associations of local self-governments, foundations, religious communities, charities, Red Cross and Red Crescent societies.

Ririka's Low Luck Breeding Slots!
There is a lot of chaos going on at work, so I will not be able to open these at the promised time. To make up for it I will be opening these early so once things settle out between the high ups I can start on these.

>>> SLOTS (6 Slots) <<<
6 LL -- Any pair that has had at least 20 (logged) unsuccessful attempts at breeding before this raffle.
- • I will not ask you to use the provided form. Use whichever you want or have close at hand. Just make sure you have the qualifying slots listed!
• Be careful not to enter the same pair two times! Communicate with owners of your Soq's breeding partner before posting a form.
• Be careful that the form you are entering is not an third entry for owner of your Soq's breeding partner. I will not disqualify you for this but your form will be removed from list.
• When entering ancestors in the ''Previous generations'' section in my breedings, you don't need to enter whole family tree just enter those ancestors which you would like to pass some of their traits on to offspring.
- • Post certed Soqs -- I like seeing the Soqs without having to click every link so please post the image of the cert (or small sized uncert for those who lack certed Soq at the time)
• Names! -- Please provide full names for both the Soq entered and their owners/co-owners
• Entry line! -- I will adore you if you would fill it out but will not hold it against you if you don't.
• Forms -- Please fill out the form correctly. If I manage to spot something wrong I will point it out and you can repost it
• No editing forms/posts! -- Once I put the couple in the main list I will not be re-reading any of the information put. I'll also be making a mental note of my CC picks as they are entered so I will only go back through them if I got back to scan over any other CC options. If you forget to add an uncert, or need to add/change throwback information, then you are free to edit your post for that. [Rule by Mindsend]
• Mistakes? -- If you need to fix something (be it by my request or your own) post it in thread that you are voiding your first entry to fix a mistake and that you'll be reposting, so I can edit the list accordingly.
• A Reminder That:Each person can be involved in no more than two pairs in each raffle, and only win two slots per month.
One person MAY now enter both of the couples they are involved with themselves if they need to, but make CERTAIN that couples are not posted twice. Work out ahead of time with your breeding partners who will be responsible for entering in a pair. If they are entered twice, they will be disqualified from that raffle. Furthermore, you must have basket rights to the breeding (and therefore also own or co-own one of the parents) in order to post the breeding. No Proxying.
If you do not have breeding rights to a soquili you co-own, then it does not count towards your two-couple limit, but you may NOT receive a basket from that breeding in any way, shape, or form.
You may only win two breedings per month total (CC or raffled breeding slots. Bribes do not count). If someone wins a breeding raffle slot, then they may only enter one couple for the remainder of the month's raffles.
exclaim REMINDERS!!
Since rules change periodically when the need arises, please make sure you are up to date on everything listed here. THIS IS A NEW BREEDING RULES INFO THREAD!!
Failure to do so will result in disqualification. I am not obligated to inform you if you have broken a rule.
exclaim REMINDERS!!
Since rules change periodically when the need arises, please make sure you are up to date on everything listed here. THIS IS A NEW BREEDING RULES INFO THREAD!!
Failure to do so will result in disqualification. I am not obligated to inform you if you have broken a rule.
It has been required for both owners to post permission for the breeding in the MATES AND PERMISSION THREAD prior to the close of the raffle in order to be eligible for raffles now, so hopefully everyone has gotten the idea. However, just as a reminder:
UNLESS BOTH PARTIES HAVE POSTED PERMISSION IN THE PERMISSION THREAD (not this one, but the permission thread) BY THE TIME THE RAFFLE CLOSES, THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RAFFLE AND WILL BE REMOVED. This also includes co-owners; if you co-own a soquili and your agreement involves agreeing on mates or breeding, BOTH co-owners have to have posted permission.
If one of the co-owners of a horse in a pairing is NOT getting baskets from the breeding, please put the co-ownership agreement link in the form in the appropriate place and say who does or does not have breeding rights. We will assume that any pairing submitted without a form counts the breeding toward ALL co-owners. If it's not in the co-ownership agreement, the co-owner forfeiting will need to post here saying as much.
Remember guys if a owner has no rights to this breeding it MEANS NO RIGHTS. Aka, you cannot gift nor co own a basket with the person with no rights, Ala the new rules instated.
Major mistakes that are spotted after winners have been rolled, such as triple-entries into the breeding raffle or lack of permission can result in a nullification of the win. It is in your best interest to spot these ahead of time so that they can be corrected, or extraneous pairs removed instead of nullifying all of your chances.

The Minnesota Wild, the Boston Bruins' next opponent Tuesday at TD Banknorth Garden, can't seem to get themselves together.
They lost in a shootout to Detroit last night with two of their young defensemen not seeing the ice for the final 25 minutes of regulation and overtime, as Brian Stensaas of the Star Tribune explains. And without star Marian Gaborik, who had serious hip surgery, the Wild are searching around for more scoring and just can't seem to find, Stensaas explains. Also in the Star Tribune, veteran Michael Russo has some sympathy for Gaborik's cause.
Over in the Pioneer Press, Bruce Brothers talks to Eric Belanger about the center's recovery from pneumonia. Also columnist Tom Powers doesn't see Gaborik having a future with the Wild.
The Wild play at Colorado tonight before heading to Boston, so I'll have more links Monday.

Bentley The New Beckham
Vital Blackburn's most recent Poll, suggested by Hughes Da Man asked "Will Bentley now take over from Beckham full time after his 100th cap?" Yes!!!
David Beckham picked up his 100th International cap in the friendly with France on Wednesday night, but having picked up this much deserved 100th cap it looks most likely that his England days will now fade away, but who will be his long-term successor? A HUGE 86% think that David Bentley is this man.
7% think that he isn't the man, with the final 7% begging to differ yet still, being of the opinion that Shaun Wright-Phillips and Aaron Lennon will have something to say about it.
So in summary
Yes - 86%
No - 7%
Wright-Phillips & Lennon will argue otherwise - 7%
The current poll, suggested by The Rovers Players is asking, "Man of the Match v Reading?"

Creating a Package by Running a Wizard
Typically, you create a new Integration Services package by creating a new Integration Services project, which contains one package by default, or by adding an empty new package to an existing project.
However, you can also use a wizard to help you create a new package. Both the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard and the Integration Services Connections Project Wizard can create a package for you. You can use the factors in the following table to determine which of these wizards is most appropriate for your requirements.
Wizard Comparison
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
Integration Services Connections Project Wizard
Create a package that performs a simple import or export between a single source and destination.
Create a package that may connect to multiple sources and destinations, and to have the wizard configure the required connections for you.
Starting the wizard
From the Start menu or as a context-menu option in either Management Studio or BI Development Studio.
For more information, see How to: Run the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard.
From the New Project dialog box in BI Development Studio.
For more information, see How to: Create a New Integration Services Project.
A single package that can be saved to SQL Server, the SSIS Package Store, or the file system.
A new Integration Services project in BI Development Studio that contains a single package.
Package components
Contains the connection managers, source, any transformations that are required, such as Data Conversions, and the destination. Optionally, the package might contain Execute SQL tasks to create, drop, or truncate tables.
Contains the connection managers, sources, and the destinations that you selected.
Package status
Complete and can be run immediately. However, you must add the package to an existing Integration Services project before you can change the package or run the package in BI Development Studio.
Not complete and cannot be run immediately. Before you can run the package, you have to open it in BI Development Studio to add any required transformations, and connect and configure the components in the data flow.
The SQL Server Import and Export Wizard creates a complete package for a simple import or export. This wizard configures the connections, source, and destination, and adds any data transformations that are required to let you run the import or export immediately. You can optionally save the package to run it again later, or to refine and enhance the package in BI Development Studio. However, if you save the package, you must add the package to an existing Integration Services project before you can change the package or run the package in BI Development Studio.
The Integration Services Connections Project Wizard creates a new package that contains the data sources and destinations that you specify, and the connection managers that those sources and destinations require. In configuring the connection managers, the wizard reduces the challenge of selecting the appropriate data provider. However, after you run the wizard, you cannot run the new package immediately. You have to finish configuring the data flow by adding transformations and connecting them to the preconfigured sources and destinations. For example, even to perform a simple export, you might have to add a Data Conversion transformation between source and destination.
For information about how to add transformations to the data flow, see the following topics:
For information about how to connect components in the data flow, see the following topics:
For troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting Package Development.

I became interested in photography during my childhood and developed an interest and curiosity with cameras and taking images. As I became more interested in this line of work I began to explore the educational possibilities open to me to develop my skills to enable me fulfil my dream of becoming a photographer. I did my Btec Diploma in photography and design at City of Westminster College, followed by an HNC in Graphic Design as I was interested in combining both elements of this with my work. Whilst studying for my photography degree I had the opportunity to go to Thailand to research and document, by photographic imagery, the Thai Buddhist Monks and their way of living. I felt that I had not completed my research and developed my skills fully so decided to do a Masters Degree in Communication and Design. This has allowed my to push boundaries and become more of a lateral thinker within the photographic world and expand my ideas in future and existing projects. When I have finished my Masters I am looking to develop my skills further with a production company and also work freelance. I am always looking for new projects to challenge and develop me.

Cox, Greg. Riese: Kingdom Falling, 281 pgs. Simon and Schuster BFYR, 2012. $16.99. Sexual Content: PG; Language: G (some made up swearwords); Violence: PG-13. This book explains Riese's past and her story continues with online webisodes on Syfy.com. The story is set in a fictional world and has two time periods, the current time and ten years past. The narrative bounces back between them, but for the sake of clarity I will summarize them separately. In the current time, Riese is living off of the land with her wolf. She sees a group of huntsman trailing a young teen girl. She rescues Usla. Usla had been captured by the Sect, a group of cultists that rule the land. Usla, like many peasant girls, was being used as breeding stock, but she ran away to save the baby growing within her. Usla wants to return to her family and Riese escorts her across the ruined and nearly toxic countryside only to discover the worst. Ten-years previous Riese has been a princess who had not liked princess things. She had preferred to hunt and roam. She met a young man named Micah who is an apprentice. She doesn't tell him who she really is, instead pretends to be a palace servant. Meanwhile, her mother's kingdom Eleysia is under attack by the Nixians. Her mother accepts help from a strange cult and Riese discovers Micah is more than he pretends to be. The duo-story structure took away from the suspense, because the reader already knows that Riese's past story ends badly. The current-time story feels like a television show where a smaller story is semi-resolved while the bigger story is looming. As a character Riese is powerful, interesting and compelling; however, she is the only developed character. The dialogue often feels too modern for the rustic setting.

Although Asus has installed a few useful apps and widgets for navigating the Transformer Pad Infinity, it hasn't pre-loaded any games onto the tablet.
Instead, Nvidia's TegraZone shortcut is waiting for you on the home screen to take you to a selection of the finest Android games available.
Gaming is where the quad-core Tegra 3 processor really comes into its own. There are a few games on the Google Play store designed specifically for the Tegra 3 processor, thanks to some pretty detailed 3D graphics. We spent plenty of time with Zen Pinball THD, a 3D pinball game designed for Tegra 3 devices.
Whether or not you enjoy gaming on a tablet largely comes down to using the touchscreen. It's not as intuitive or as enjoyable as using a controller, or physical buttons such as on the PS Vita or Nintendo 3DS, but in terms of graphical ability, tablets such as the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity now offer a viable alternative to games consoles.
Of course, the beauty of gaming on Android is that there are plenty of casual games to enjoy for five or 10 minutes on your commute.
Even though the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity can handle the 3D grunt of titles such as Tiki Kart 3D and Temple Run, there's always the option to kick back with a casual game like Cut the Rope or Angry Birds.
The sheer amount of apps available from the Google Play store is staggering, and you won't struggle to fill the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity with your favourite downloads.
Whether you're a news junkie, media fanatic or just a big gamer, you're going to find all you need inside Google's emporium.
Because the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity comes with a ready-made keyboard dock, it doubles as almost a netbook-like device, so if you're interested in working on a tablet, but have been put off by touchscreen keyboards, then this is the answer.
You're given a full version of Polaris Office, which will enable you to open, edit and share office documents such as word files, spreadsheets and presentations.
Like anything else, there are rival office apps on the Google Play market. Two of the big hitters are Quickoffice and OfficeSuite, although these will set you back around £10 (around $15.50).
Needless to say, the keyboard also comes in useful for emails, and you have the standard Gmail app pre-installed, as well as a generic email app to connect your chosen mailbox to.
The rest of the apps available out of the box include the usual range of Android offerings such as Maps, Google+ and Google Press Reader – among others.
You'll also find a File Manager app pre-installed that enables you to navigate through the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity and move or delete files.

The Fox Chase City Council decided to help the city of Hillview play Santa Claus this holiday season.
The council approved a request by mayor Owen Taylor to present a $200 check to the Hillview Recreation Department toward its annual Operation Santa program.
Terry Bohannon, recreation director and Operation Santa coordinator, was in attendance at the Fox Chase December meeting to receive the check.
"Pound for pound, (Bohannon) does more to help people than anyone in Bullitt County," Taylor said.
Inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances may occur, so the information below is strictly of an advisory nature and is subject to change with no notice.
Pothole patching, sweeping, drain & ditch cleaning, pavement marking, and maintenance crews may work on major interstates in the Louisville Metro area only during non-peak daytime hours and at night. Motorists should watch for roadside maintenance and pavement marking crews on interstates and highways throughout the rest of the district on a daily basis.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- In one of his final rounds of audits before leaving office, Adam Edelen released the financial examination for Bullitt County Sheriff David Greenwell.
And the number one issue revolved around a familiar topic -- the deficit Greenwell's office owes the state of Kentucky.
When Greenwell took office in 2011, Bullitt County's population numbers triggered a new way of running the offices of sheriff and county clerk.
MOUNT WASHINGTON— Businesses were paid a visit by the ghost of ordinances past on Christmas Eve.
After a local business posted on social media that it would be open on Christmas Day, new Alcoholic Beverage Control Administrator Brent Wheeler contacted the business to confirm they knew that, according to an ordinance passed in 2003, the sale of alcohol on Christmas Day was prohibited in Mount Washington.
According to Wheeler, the manager said that his call was the first time he had heard of the rule in their many years of business.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Residents opposed to a rezoning request on Chapeze Lane may be able to relax for the time being.
Efforts to get the property owned by George Miller and Miller Enterprises annexed and rezoned to IG General Industrial by the Shepherdsville City Council were derailed on Tuesday.
Bullitt Fiscal Court did not allow a request by Miller's attorney, Tammy Baker, to have the vote on two tracts withdrawn on Tuesday.

SHEPHERDSVILLE -- The corporate boundaries for the city of Shepherdsville expanded by 131 acres off Chapeze Lane.
However, an attorney representing residents in the community might advise them to not redraw their city maps just yet.
By a 5-0 vote, the Shepherdsville City Council approved the annexation of property owned by George Miller and Miller Enterprises.
The decision was made at a special meeting Monday morning.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Bullitt County sheriff Dave Greenwell received the first part of his agreement to continue providing law enforcement past mid-March.
However, he didn't get the second piece of the agreement, so the clock is still ticking.
On Tuesday, Bullitt Fiscal Court voted unanimously to approve an additional $250,000 to the sheriff's office for his 2016 budget.
Greenwell was to present his budget at the Dec. 15 fiscal court meeting but the discussion was tabled due to a lengthy agenda.
