Paul Ryan would 'consider' Romney-Ryan ticket
House Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) says that he would be willing to "consider" accepting a nomination to be his party's vice presidential nominee.
Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday asked Ryan if he would accept the VP slot if the Republican presidential nominee wanted him to be on the ticket to help sell the GOP's controversial new budget that slashes government spending.
"It's not a bridge that I've even come close to crossing," Ryan explained. "It's a decision that somebody else makes and a long time from now. … I can't answer that question because I haven't given enough thought to that."
"But you're leaving the door open," Wallace noted. "You're saying, 'If I were asked, I would have to consider it.'"
"I would have to consider it," Ryan agreed. "But it's not something I'm even thinking about right now because I think our job in Congress is pretty important."
White House senior advisor David Plouffe on Sunday hinted that the Obama campaign was ready for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to team up with Ryan.
"If Mitt Romney is the nominee, then this really is going to be the Romney-Ryan plan," Plouffe said of Ryan's proposed budget on ABC.
"He said he's going to rubber-stamp it. … So the American people have to understand, if Mitt Romney's elected president, he'll rubber-stamp that budget. And here's what that budget is. It fails the standard — it fails the test of balance and fairness and shared responsibility. It showers huge additional tax cuts on the wealthy … that are paid for by veterans and seniors and the middle class, so it's not a balanced approach."

We have a small garden on the side of our house. Not a very big space, but enough to grow half a dozen tomato plants and a few pepper plants each summer. Once in a while we throw something additional in there. This year, there are also pea pods climbing up some fencing on the edge of the garden. The boys planted some carrots, which for some reason didn't seem to grow. We always have some sunflowers outlining the garden. And this year we also added some lettuce and spinach. I LOVE spinach. I think this is the first year we've done spinach...or if we've grown it before it's been a long time.
Anyway, it has been so nice to go out and pick a few leaves to throw in a salad or place on a sandwich in place of lettuce. We didn't get a whole lot, just two plants about this size, but that's been just enough.
What are you growing in your garden this year?

One of the biggest challenges that L&D professionals at all levels face is getting buy-in for brilliant ideas.
That isn't meant to be a flippant statement. If you know your stuff and you are following what leading organizations are doing to support learning, you have no shortage of brilliant ideas – proven standards and creative designs along with emerging approaches and innovative techniques.
What can be hard to understand – if you are not on the front lines – is how very difficult it can be to get support for implementing some of these brilliant ideas in the workplace. Brilliant ideas often take time to develop; they involve some risk; they are unfamiliar territory to the powers that be. Skepticism and resistance can be tough to overcome.
Many professionals tell me that among the most difficult-to-sell of our brilliant ideas are those that are well grounded in theory and research. Some of our stakeholders and leaders have a mistaken impression that all academically-generated ideas are "ivory tower" and not useful in the real world.
Here are some of the key factors that can help you ensure that your theory- and evidence-based brilliant ideas get a chance to shine.
Be practical.
Theoretical frameworks can be perfect in theory, but sometimes not quite so much in the real world. You need to take a hard look at your environment to analyze whether aspects of the approach you are applying may be unworkable or in some way objectionable. It's appropriate and wise to tweak approaches in order to make them more practical for your situation.
When you do so, however, make sure you are not compromising the very thing that makes the approach work. Scrutinize the details of the approach and identify the critical ingredients that contribute to its success. Like the strategy game, Jenga, you need to understand the elements that are providing structural support before you try pulling any of those elements out. If you have to eliminate or change some of the approach, you'll want to imagine the impact of those customizations and consider whether you can introduce some counterbalancing features that help to minimize any new weaknesses.
Also, listen carefully to any objections you are hearing. Ask lots of questions so that you can continue to consider and address practical concerns as you structure your solution.
Speak your stakeholder's language.
The most important thing we can do to get a fair hearing for our brilliant ideas is to express them in language that is relatable for the stakeholders. Using jargon terms and formal academic language tends to raise the concern that the ideas are not useful in demanding business environments.
In order to "speak their language," you must get to know your stakeholders and become well versed in their business concerns. As you work with your stakeholders, you'll come to understand their unique concerns – and you'll learn the kinds of messages that appeal to them. Consider, for example, whether the person prefers examples or data, formal language or casual language, a one-page presentation or a detailed slide deck, a more intense approach or a laid-back one. Your ideas should address some business concern or need, and you should position them as being a way to ensure that goals are being met.
Keep it real.
In Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath laid out a number of characteristics of ideas that have staying power. Among those important characteristics are that ideas should be simple, concrete, and credible.
We need to simplify ideas so they don't come across as over-engineered. That can be difficult when approaches are indeed complex. But when you are involved in a project through implementation, you have opportunities to communicate some of the important nuances that may be too much for your
initial communications. I'm not suggesting that you hide important details, but I am suggesting that you don't want to get mired in details when you are attempting to persuade stakeholders to consider something new.
As you explain your ideas, present them in a way that shows that they are indeed do-able. Name concrete steps that will need to be taken, and the resources that will be required. Use graphics and charts – or prototypes if you can get that far – so that stakeholders can literally see what you mean.
Much to our chagrin, the fact that an approach is academically grounded does not necessarily make it credible in the eyes of stakeholders. Credibility is gained by demonstrated results (if you have them) and a personal track record of making recommendations that prove to be successful. Credibility is also gained by demonstrating that we understand our stakeholder's perspective and concerns. We have to nurture our personal credibility as much as we need to establish the credibility of our brilliant ideas.
Inspire your stakeholder's imagination.
Oftentimes, it isn't logic that influences, it's emotional connection. When you want to inspire people to take action, it's useful to communicate with an element of surprise and with engaging stories. Use offbeat and powerful analogies to establish background and draw others in. Inject drama and realism into your examples by sketching characters and detailing a plot line.
Nancy Duarte (author of Resonate) reminds us that people who take action can be seen as heroes, and we who wish to inspire them are the mentors who guide them to see the problem, own solutions, take action, and defeat the thing that's preventing achievement of goals. This arc of the hero's journey is very tempting, and if you can cast your stakeholders as heroes overcoming the obstacles that hinder success, you can indeed inspire them to engage your brilliant ideas.
In business environments, we tend to try to be business-like, and in academic circles, we encourage a very formal and careful approach. But what's needed here is more spark and vigor. We need to use powerful story language and invite stakeholders to engage on an emotional level. Don't be afraid to show your own enthusiasm for the idea; it can be contagious!

Unlike physical reality, time and space are not linear in the subtle planes of existence, thus not inhibited by the restriction of physics. As I'd learned it;
"The past, the present, and the future happen all at once in the astral planes"
"The past, the present, and the future happen all at once in the astral planes"
In my personal experience, I "travel" by calling up the energy of the past. I'll dance, sing, and have mannerisms like I am from an earlier time and sometimes it happens on its own, but I don't experience vivid journeys whilst physically unconscious like one might think astral time travel is like.
Astral energy is cosmic energy whereas etheric energy is more closely tied to physical energy, which is denser. Etheric time travel would be more involved and detailed (such as in trance) whereas astral time travel is more "whispy" and not as involved (in my studies and experiences). It is akin to psychicly picking up on the energy of people, places, and events (like psychometry).
Being that you saw yourself as a child (to which I can relate) and yourself in the future, the focus seems to be less on time and more on yourself and self work can be lucrative if that is something you'd like to venture into.

How Do Muscles Get Bigger And Stronger? A Guide
When I started out as a scrawny 125 lb teenager, the idea of building an impressively muscled physique initially seemed to be as unlikely as my reaching the summit of Mount Everest. Surrounded by a cacophony of often contradictory information on the subject of muscle building, I took it upon myself to stop reading the books and magazines (the Internet wasn't around then, thank goodness!) and focused instead on the science of how the human body actually works. It wasn't easy, but with the help of some great mentors and my thirst for marketing free knowledge, I was able lead a successful career as a drug free bodybuilding champion and develop my own method of high intensity training. Going from 125 lbs to 225 lbs with a body fat percentage always under 6% without the using steroids or any other kind of hormones required an intricate understanding of how muscles get bigger and stronger. Helping other men and women build world class bodies has gone a long way in helping me come to an even deeper understanding of how muscle growth really occurs and in the following lines I hope to pass on what I have learned to you as well.
How Do Muscles Get Bigger & Stronger- The Role Of Stress
The first and key element required for our muscles to get bigger or stronger is stress. Physiologist Walter Cannon came up with the term 'homeostasis' to explain the way in which our body does its best to always stay within a comfortable operating range where our cells can function optimally. The concept is that while external forces can sometimes bring about drastic changes in our body, it always reverts to a default position. Your heart rate is a good example of homeostasis as it beats constantly within a set range under ordinary conditions, but that rate can either go up or down depending on what type of activity you are doing. In spite of these fluctuations, as long as you are healthy, your heart rate will always return to its regular resting rate. Stress is a key reason for your body to change, and having observed soldiers returning from World War One he coined the oft used phrase 'fight or flight' to describe the hormonal reactions in our body in response stress. In addition to life threatening situations, more mundane activities such as exercise also evoke a homeostatic response.
A Polish endocrinologist named Hans Seyle furthered these concepts when he discovered in his experiments that rats who were exposed to certain chemicals all suffered the same
failure of several major organ systems in a way that could be reproduced no matter what chemical was used. He called it, the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) and it encompasses the state of an organism in relation to how it adapts to its environment. The systematic organ failure he saw in the rats was a failure to adapt to stress. He found that there were three clearly defined stages within this particular syndrome, the first being the 'alarm reaction', very similar to the 'fight or flight' response described by Walter Cannon. The second stage being an adaptive response- where the organism tries to adapt to the stress as a form of resistance. Finally if the stress is too large for the organism to handle, the exhaustion phase where cell death occurs.
As negative a connotation that the word 'stress' carries for us today, the reality is that it is an extremely important stimulus in our daily lives as it allows us to adapt to our surrounding environment. Without stress, we wouldn't exist and in many ways it can be a very positive thing as it is how the body acts to remove or minimize the effect of a stressful stimulus. A common example of stress at work is a callus. If you wear shoes that are a bit too tight and it rubs repeatedly against a part of your foot, if the action isn't so strong as to form a blister (the exhaustion phase) As long as the action is not strong enough to create a blister (exhaustion stage) over time the layers of skin that rub against the inside of your shoe will begin to harden. The skin will continue to get thicker and harder until a callus is formed. The callus then, serves as a way your body protects the deeper layers of skin tissue from being destroyed by the action of rubbing against your shoe. In essence adaptation works to minimize the effect of stress on the body.
How Do Muscles Get Bigger & Stronger- Adaptation
The way in which our muscles get bigger and stronger is a prime example of the General Adaptation Syndrome. Understanding how it works can help you make the most out of your workouts. Let's look at the most ubiquitous of muscles: the biceps. Your biceps are responsible for any movement involving elbow flexion such as a biceps curl. Now your body, over the years is already adapted to the weight of your arm and the regular activities that you do on a daily basis, so you could do lots of biceps curls with no weight and your arms would not get bigger or stronger. You'd get tired, the way you would by performing any kind of calisthenics, but your muscles wouldn't increase in strength. In order for your muscles to get bigger and stronger, you would have to apply overload. To overload means that the muscle experiences a load above and beyond what it previously adapted to in order to trigger the sequence of a new adaptation.
So in a way, it sounds pretty straightforward- put some weights on a barbell, more than you have ever done, but not so much as to bring about injury and do some curls to increase the strength and size of your biceps. But there are some more principles involved, if not everyone that picked up a barbell and did some curls would have arms like Arnold Schwarzenegger! Our muscles, and our body in general tries its best to remain in homeostasis (remember that word?). So, in a way our body is reluctant to adapt and when it does adapt to a particular stimulus, it will stay where it is until there is a greater degree of stimulation. It is very similar to the way most people do their jobs, if you think about it. We tend to do just what is required of us to get the job done and if the minimum amount of effort works the first time around, then everything is fine. Only if it doesn't do we increase our efforts incrementally, not in leaps and bounds until the job is done. Our body works exactly the same way, and you might even say it is a bit on the lazy side.
So, back to our biceps curl. When you subject your biceps to the overload of lifting weights they undergo a cascade of cellular events that lead to an increased production of contractile proteins. This process, called anabolism, also increases the size of the muscle. As the muscle gets larger the mechanical stress from the adaptation is spread out over a larger surface area and consequently places a smaller stress on the muscle. To sum it up, increased size equals increased strength. Physiologists will say that increase in contractile proteins is an expression of the muscles' capacity to generate force. The strength of a muscle, therefore is often relative to its cross sectional area. Now, that doesn't mean that if you keep lifting weights your muscles would continually get bigger and stronger until you could lift a Honda with one arm, as there are limits determined by our gender and hormones. Men have more testosterone than women, and so will have bigger and stronger muscles, and women not using anabolic steroids or hormones have little chance of naturally developing male sized muscles, no matter how hard they train.
Now after doing the bicep curl with an overload high enough to trigger an adaptation, a number of hormonal and chemical events occur. Among them are factors that bring about adaptive anabolic muscle building. These chemical actions, along with the mechanical stress to the point of overload leads to increase in muscle size, which we call hypertrophy. But, and this is important- the adaptation does not happen while you are training, but while you are at rest! What does that mean? It means that if you really want to maximize your results in terms of strength and muscle size you need to do three things:
1. Always train to a point where your muscles are seriously taxed- as if you do not, there will not be adequate stimulation for the adaptation response to be triggered.
2. Always keep changing the exercises you do and the way you do them so your muscles do not adapt too quickly to the work you are doing.
3. Make sure that you spend more time resting that you do training. Physiologically, training is about breaking down your muscles, while resting is about building them up, so if you are serious about increasing your results, you should train harder but less frequently. My rule has always been, train three days- rest and grow for four days.
What Can Stop Muscles From Getting Bigger & Stronger- Overtraining
Say the words 'Train less' to most serious exercise enthusiasts and they will look at you as if you have two heads, but it makes perfect sense. Remember the General Adaptation response model? If the action is too great and the organism is unable to adapt to the stress, it results in the exhaustion phase, where on a cellular level instead of a building (or anabolic) action, there is a destructive action (catabolic). This, in terms of exercise stress, is what is called overtraining and is defined as a physical, behavioral, and sometimes emotional condition that occurs when the volume and intensity of your exercise exceeds your body's capacity to recover. You stop making progress and in many cases find yourself getting weaker more fatigued and generally less motivated as time goes on. Overtraining can also lower your immune system and increase the incidence of injury. (See figure 1)
In my experience, the number one reason why most people don't make the progress they expect in the gym is overtraining. Having put on over 100 lbs of muscle using short high intensity workouts lasting from ten to thirty minutes in duration three days a week, I can say with authority that less is indeed more. Unfortunately, many look to the examples set by those using anabolic steroids as an example of how they should train. In doing so, they fail to take into account that one of the primary advantages of steroid use are faster recovery times and that overtraining is no longer an issue. It is an issue, however for those of us who train without the benefit of such potentially dangerous drugs and while it may be hard for many to consider training less frequently and for shorter times, it is hard to argue with the results it can bring.

Although he stopped by to talk about what he's doing off the court, the NBA lockout is still on Rick's mind. He stretched his 6 foot 8 inch frame out on the What's Trending couch and joked with Dr. Shira, "Tell me this is not going to go on much longer."
Fox was of course talking about the fact that the 2011 NBA season has been delayed for at least 2 weeks due to continued negotiations between Players and Coaches. Fox was a player rep during the NBA lockout in the late 90's. When asked what the players are going through, Fox said, "They're probably conscious for the first time that they're going to be losing some money." He continued to explain that for some players that can be hundreds of thousands of dollars per game.
Then we got into Rick Fox's new life as a producer. Fox started acting back in 1994 with the basketball flick Blue Chips and has continued with roles on VH1's Single Ladies, Meet the Browns and The Big Bang Theory to name a few. Now, he's moving behind the camera. "I made what I would call my film school experience," Fox told us about his film Hysteria. Rick then went on to tell us about the challenges of distribution and how that led him to the web.
The producer humbly explained that, "It wasn't an easy journey." That is one of the reasons Rick Fox offers behind the scenes videos on his channel. "I'm speaking for the work of a ton of other cast and crew members," Fox said about the videos.
The horror webseries Hysteria is currently being released in 26 installments leading up to Halloween.

G.W. Reynolds & Elizabeth James
Shannon Rapp 6/11/04
I think we might be researching the same JAMES family - though you never know with these common names! My interest is in Civil war vet John JAMES, b. December 16, 1843 in Crawford, Wyandot Co., Ohio, d. January 21, 1898 in Pulaski Co., Indiana. The connection is that his probable mother Elizabeth JAMES might be one of your two Elizabeth JAMESs you mention in your post. "My" Elizabeth JAMES also consented to the underage (age 17) marriage of her daughter Martha JAMES to John LANG in Carey, Wyandot, Ohio in 1849. Does any of this sound familiar? If so please contact me!

In recent years, there have been more and more news stories about bullying and the impact that it can have on children and teens. It is clear that bullying is a serious problem that must urgently be addressed in schools.
Sadly, reports have shown that children with food allergies are often the targets of bullies. As kids head back to school, we feel this is an important time to address this topic. In this post, we'll discuss ways to prevent bullying, how to determine whether your child is being bullied and if so, how to help.
Last year, the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) published a shocking study about the incidence of bullying among children with food allergies. Researchers at Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mount Sinai found that:
- Over 30% of children with food allergies are reported to have been bullied, teased, or harassed because of their food allergies.
- In 86% of these cases, the bullying and harassment was repetitive.
- Over 40% of these cases involved having their allergen thrown at them or waved in their face.
As you might expect, most bulling came from classmates and peers but surprisingly, over 20% of the cases involved bullying from teachers or other school staff.
Here's a great PSA that Foodallergy.org put together around food allergy bullying.
Bullying would be upsetting for any child but since kids with food allergies already deal with the daily challenge of their allergies, bullying can be especially stressful for these children. Not only does the bullying cause an emotional toll (over 65% reported feeling depressed or embarrassed), potential exposure to their allergens poses a serious, sometimes life-threatening, health risk.
So how can we stop the bullying?
The most effective way is to increase awareness of food allergies and develop anti-bullying policies in schools. FAAN developed a peer education program on food allergies called Be a PAL: Protect A Life™ From Food Allergies. This is a great way to create awareness and understanding of food allergies in the classroom.
StopBullying.gov is another great website with helpful resources for parents, kids, teens and schools. As a parent, it's important to know the signs that your child is being bullied at school kids may not tell you that it is occurring. View signs a child is being bullied.
If you find that your child is being bullied, there are many steps that can be taken to resolve the situation. Here are some ways you can stop bullying. If your child's school does not have an anti-bullying initiative, work with the PTA and school system to implement one.
For additional resources on bullying and cyberbullying, you can also review information from Safe Supportive Learning website.

Kerrie L Kephart
Seattle Campus
Emphasizes the principles of written and oral communication for the engineering workplace. Designs solutions to professional communication problems: technical reports, proposals, correspondence, resumes, and oral presentations. Focuses on needs assessment and designing solutions that call for effective selection and integration of verbal and visual components. For engineering majors. Prerequisite: HCDE 231. Offered: AWSpS.
Class description
This course introduces engineering undergraduates to the fundamental communication processes associated with project management. Specifically, you will learn: (1) how to maximize interdisciplinary collaboration to complete a project, (2) how to prepare and deliver formal and informal oral presentations, and (3) how to adapt documentation to a mixed audience.
Engineers must consider the environmental, economic, and social impact of their work. As a result, sustainability will be the primary focus of the course project.
Student learning goals
Analyze a rhetorical situation and identify appropriate strategies based on the document's or presentation's purpose, audience, and context.
Navigate team dynamics to complete a quarter-long project.
Integrate text and visuals to clearly convey complex, technical information.
Revise documents for content, organization, and writing style.
Provide feedback to others on their writing, speaking, and teamwork abilities.
Perform professional formal and informal presentation skills, individually and as a team.
General method of instruction
Each class period will consist of lecture/discussion and activities designed to help you improve your collaboration and communication skills. You will practice your communication skills through completion of the writing and speaking assignments. You will also be responsible for providing constructive feedback to your peers.
Recommended preparation
Class assignments and grading
You will complete the following graded assignments: 1) Job Documents 2) Elevator Pitch 3) Team Working Agreement 4) Proposal – Written and Oral Presentation 5) Project Updates – White Board Talk and Memo 6) Poster Critique, Poster Pitch, and Poster 7) Portfolio 8) Team Evaluation
In addition, you will participate in the following activities during class: 1) Peer Review of Writing 2) Peer Evaluation of Presentations 3) Role Plays/Improvisations and Activities 4) Self and Peer Assessment of Team Participation
Each assignment is graded on a 4.0-scale and is weighted relative to the other assignments as a percentage of your total course grade.
The guidelines listed below are intended to help you interpret the final grade you receive on your assignments. The descriptions for each grade range, along with your instructor's marginal notes and summary statements, should give you a clear understanding of your grade and provide you with valuable feedback you can use in completing future assignments.
3.9 – 4.0: Excellent – Rationale: If you submitted this document to a supervisor at work, it would make a very strong positive impression and would be considered ready to go out the door to a client with no changes. A 4.0 is truly exceptional work.
3.5 – 3.8: Very Good – Rationale: If you submitted this document to a supervisor at work, it would be considered a very good job and ready to go out the door after minor improvements.
3.0 – 3.4: Good – Rationale: If you submitted this document to a supervisor at work, it would be returned to you for revision. It would be considered a good start that needs further development and/or significant improvement before going out the door.
2.0 – 2.9: Adequate – Rationale: If you submitted this document to a supervisor at work, it would be considered a draft that includes some material that could be used in revision but that has significant problems that need attention before it is ready to go out the door.
<2.0: Does not fulfill the assignment – Rationale: If you submitted this document to a supervisor at work, it would be considered to not meet the specifications of the assigned task. There would be little material that could be salvaged for revision, and you would likely be asked to re-do the work.

Bid on construction projects and hire subcontractors to complete them.
What does a Contractor do?
It takes a small army of people, all working together, to complete a construction project. Electricians, Plumbers, Interior Decorators, Roofers, Painters, and many other workers must be hired, managed, and paid. As a Contractor, you do this work, hiring and supervising the subcontractors used in each project.
Before you can hire other people, you must be hired yourself. You're given drawings and other documents that describe the project, and you figure out how much it will cost. While giving a low quote may guarantee that you'll get hired, it may also mean you'll pay to build the project out of your own pocket. So you think hard before giving an estimate.
If you're chosen to work on the project, you create documents for your subcontractors to sign. These documents outline what each subcontractor will do, when the work will be done, and how much each firm will be paid. They're a sort of blueprint for the project, and your protection against problems, so you sweat over the details and make sure everything is crystal clear.
Once the project begins, you set up a home away from home on the construction site. Each day, you make sure the project is being done properly. If you spot a mistake, you call the subcontractor and demand a solution.
The project's owner may come to visit from time to time, and you roll out the red carpet to show them around the magnificent work your team has done. At the end of the project, you go on a tour of the entire site to make sure the work is truly complete.

Are you a "Themimech" engineer? Rising frequencies of many applications are now forcing engineers to be aware of and plan for issues related to rising frequencies in electronic devices and systems and to participate in mutually supportive designs. A "Themimech" engineer is one who recognizes that due to ever increasing frequencies, the potential for thermal cooling will be needed: The "Th". The engineer further recognizes that as frequencies rise, EMI issues become a great challenge to mitigate: The "emi". And finally, all electronics are part of a system that must pass vibration, environmental and a robust integration design: The "mech". The "themimech" engineer no longer works in their "silo", rather works to provide an integrated solution required to meet the ever-increasing frequencies of design and the associated thermal and EMI design challenges.
An Emerging Issue for 70-80 Percent of All Devices
The increasing speed of expensive processors is forcing less expensive "associated board" or "dependant" devices to keep up. Consequently, thermal management and EMI are becoming issues for traditional lower frequency or power devices, such as Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), memory, power resistors, controller chips, LEDs, and other traditionally lower power devices that comprise 70 to 80 per cent of all devices.
As one begins a "Themimech" engineering assignment, good questions are the starting point to understanding potential solutions and their selection process:
• What is the speed and power level of the device and how hot will it get?
• What new EMI challenges exist ?
• Is the current EMI "Faraday cage" design robust ?
• Can I combine thermal and EMI solutions ?
The design challenges, however, are not as daunting as they may first appear with a good understanding of today's thermal and EMI material options. EMI solutions are strongly frequency influenced, so even though an application may need an improved EMI solution, it often can use newer "off the shelf" EMI solutions. As a result, a greater number of thermal management and EMI options and cost/value alternatives are available to lower power device engineers.
Thermal Impact of Higher Frequencies
In these increasing "power/frequency" applications, the heat must be removed or the devices will be damaged. The thermal management for low power is basically the same as for higher power devices, but there are many more options for the lower power devices as the "power density" of "watts dissipated/surface area" is lower. All devices need to move the heat from the "hot" device to a cooler location. The primary purpose of the TIM is to improve thermal flow between these hot and cooler locations.
Lower Power Thermal Interface Material Options
Only Buy the Thermal Performance Needed
Today's adhesive vendors are engineering cost-effective alternatives with the necessary strength, conductivity, and reliability for lower power devices. The four tapes in 3M's 8810 Series thermally conductive adhesive transfer tapes have a tacky pressure-sensitive adhesive without a carrier but with high cohesive strength. Specialized chemistry provides a next generation of performance in terms of conformability to non-flat surfaces, high adhesion and good thermal interface.
For low power applications where a gap filling solution is desired, thermally conductive acrylic thermal pads provide excellent thermal resistance, good thermal stability, good softness and a UL rating.
EMI Impact of Higher Frequencies
The higher frequencies can also lead to the need for improved EMI shielding solutions. New compact, low-profile designs with IC devices in closer proximity to each other and within a contained EMI environment require new and innovative EMI solutions as the EMI issues are often related to not just the electric field of EMI, but now the magnetic field associated with EMI that can become a greater concern in "near field" conditions that are geometry based.
The EMI shielding solutions are needed as the higher frequencies and compact designs lead to a more complex EMI noise environment. High frequencies imply the following logic and design implications:
a) Higher Frequencies are needed devices or flex circuits to support higher information data rates
b) Higher Frequencies lead to an inherent lower "Signal to Noise" (S/N) in the circuit.
c) A lower S/N ratio can lead to a higher error rate in transmitted data.
d) The Noise floor must be reduced to improve the S/N ratio.
e) A more robust S/N ratio is achieved by a reduced EMI environment accomplished by a lower resistance grounding design, less rising frequency bias, improved Faraday design, absorb EMI and circuit design layout.
A lower EMI environment can be accomplished with improved EMI reflective shielding materials -- such as a Copper foil EMI tape, a Gold plated fabric or more economical solutions such as one that uses a lower cost Nickel plated fabric.
EMI "reflective" shielding solutions are now being complemented with EMI "absorbing" materials. EMI absorbing materials act like "acoustic absorber" sealing tiles or carpet in a room that is too loud acoustically. By adding acoustic sealing tiles or carpet in a room, the baseline noise level is reduced. By added EMI absorbing sheet and pad materials into an EMI environment, the EMI noise is absorbed and reduced, improving the system performance. With absorbers, it is best to establish their highest performance impact first (ie:AB-7000 using greatest thickness the application can use) as it may allow other design changes once a new EMI reduction as been demonstrated.
As frequencies rise, the need for improved assembly grounding may be needed to optimize the performance of the entire system. Lower contact resistance can improve the Faraday cage performance. Improved grounding can minimize RF signals generated on the system structures that radiate and can improve the S/N of the data transmitted via a flexible circuit or improve antenna S/N performance.
The 3M ECATT tapes 9705, 7772, 9709S and 9725 represent key design types found for grounding solutions. As the conductive portion of the ECATT affects adhesion, grounding resistance level, shock and vibration performance, reliability, EMI shielding in the bond line, and rework each application must be optimized for which ECATT product best meets the end user grounding and EMI shielding design goals.
Thermal and EMI Hybrid Solutions
Other products are available that offer a hybrid of thermal and EMI features, such as an EMI Shielding-Absorber which provides good heat transfer one that presents good grounding performance and thermal performance along with EMI shielding in the "bond line gap thickness".
Thermal and EMI materials options can be judicially selected to implement the TIM and EMI performance needed to manage the higher power device. Design reviews should include the Hybrid Thermal/EMI solutions along with an understanding how new material can meet ever increasing frequencies.

Message October 15th from the President and CEO:
Bonteboktoberfest was postponed Saturday evening to today, Sunday, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Many of you have accommodated the changes. Thank you. We understand that the decision to postpone the event was disappointing for many and maddening to a few. Please know that Binder Park Zoo is a nonprofit organization. We receive no tax funding. This event is a fundraiser to help pay for the expense of feeding and taking care of the animals through the winter months. The last thing we want to do is disrupt the plans for this event. We're taking a hit too. But, please know that we will do our best to satisfy every ticket holder and are currently putting some options in place.
A judgement call was made to postpone the event because the rain created unsafe conditions for staff, volunteers and guests. The zoo was experiencing flooding conditions, which created challenges for electrical, water pumps, and other infrastructure. Around 4:00 p.m. it started to thunder and lightning and the weather radar showed no signs of the storms leaving the area. In fact, there were a couple of lightning strikes that were dangerously close to guest areas. The trees were getting weighted down by the downpours and breaking limbs were a concern. The tents kept caving in from the weight of the rain. Some of the walkways had several inches of standing water. To walk around these areas meant that guests would be walking through mud or brush.
This decision was based on safety first, even though it was going to come at a cost, and not just financial. Zoo staff always puts the safety first. No exceptions. I want to say thank you to all of you who have dug in and asked how you can help. Your mercy and kindness is greatly appreciated. Everyone one of us will need mercy at some point, whether personally or professionally, thank you for being a friend of the zoo. In times like this we see the goodness of people. On behalf of zoo staff, thank you. A few of you have shared your disappointment through social media and it has negatively reflected on the zoo. Your thoughts and comments are respected and, again, we will do our best to make things right.
We are expecting a great event tonight. Thank you to our volunteers who have rearranged schedules to accommodate the new event time. Thank you to staff who are coming in on your day off to help make this night fun for our guests and beneficial for the zoo. Thank you to the vendors who are accommodating the changes. Thank you to the event planners. Wow! Great job managing the hundreds of details that need to be thought through. I'm reminded of this quote from William Shakespeare, "The quality of mercy is not strain'd, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: it blesseth him that gives and him that takes."

Shifting Gears / That wasn't my intention … or was it?
Published 4:10 pm, Thursday, September 26, 2013
What's going on here? How is it that sometimes some people say to themselves and to others things like: "I'm going to get into an Ivy League college," "I'm going to lose 30 pounds and start working out at the gym four times a week," "I'm going to conquer my fear of public speaking," "I'm going to run my own company"-- and they do it.
Other times, they say similar things with just as much commitment but never succeed. They may not actually try. In fact, someone looking on might say they are sabotaging themselves, getting in their own way.
In the rest of the animal kingdom, creatures (except, perhaps, pets influenced by their neurotic owners or previous encounters with cruel humans) don't act foolishly against their best interests or desires.
They spy prey and stealthily go about obtaining it. If they don't succeed, it's more because of fate or some genetic incompetence. It's not an inner psychic conflict (at least, that's what I assume).
But the human psyche is so incredibly complex, holding in its comparatively huge cerebral cortex desires, imaginings, projections, expectations, self-concepts, which increase and solidify, incrementally, year after year of our development. Layer upon layer of hidden beliefs about ourselves and other people mingle with our conscious and expressed wishes. Sometimes, often, in fact, what we say and believe we want consciously is in direct contradiction to a much more unconscious belief and desire. Thus, a conflict acted out upon the stage of our lives.
I'm reading a biography of Lyndon Johnson (you may or may not remember him). If you're interested in how our intentions work, his life is a great example, not just of one overriding intention, but two conflicting and equally powerful intentions. With him, life played out on a Shakespearean stage of tragedy and pathos.
He had been driven since childhood to be president. An unlikely goal for a poor, hardscrabble kid from the boondocks of Texas in the 1920's. It was his clear and conscious intention. Everything he did was directed toward that goal. He, also, had another, equally strong though, perhaps, less conscious, intention. That was to avoid, at all costs, humiliation. Of course, in order to avoid something, it is necessary to believe in its existence. Johnson deeply believed in his vulnerability to humiliation.
So when the time finally came that he should reasonably pursue the nomination for president in 1960, he could not bring himself to announce for and seek the nomination. His fear of being humiliated if people knew he wanted something and he failed to attain it held him back. He did not get the nomination. As vice president, he was repeatedly humiliated. He became president upon the inconceivable (at that time) assassination of President John Kennedy. He ultimately left office by choice, not seeking a second elected term, because he knew that there was a strong probability that he would lose that election. And be humiliated. Thus, both of Johnson's intentions were actualized.
History shows us something inexplicable. How is it that events conspired with individual intention to bring into fruition both of Johnson's contradictory and conflicting intentions. He was president, and he was repeatedly humiliated. It happened as if the whole thing were an exquisite piece of fiction.
Does something similar happen with our own, less grandiose, lives? Do our intentions become actualized -- even the ones we think we do not want? How powerful are our intentions? I would say they are pretty powerful. And they are most powerful when they are unconscious. When we know what we are up against, we are much better prepared to deal with it.
That, of course, when you come right down to it, is the purpose of therapy.

#SpecialK30 Linky Challenge – how I've changed…
This year Special K celebrates a very special birthday – it's 30 years since it hit the shops and for 30 years the original recipe has been a firm favourite. Yet they celebrate this special birthday by changing the recipe; I know it's a little scary when something familiar gets changed but I promise new recipe compliments and adds to the original one and is just as delicious! It is now made with wholegrain, rice, wheat and barley and contains 8 essential vitamins and iron making it a full and healthy start to the day.
Which leads me to how I've changed in 30yrs…
Oh yes, change is scary and whilst I hope the changes in me compliment and add to my original deliciousness – I'm not so sure. I can't clearly remember 1983, yes my memory's not so good but let's be fair I was only 2.
There was a very big change in my life in 1983 however, I went from only child to big sister…
Awwww look at that..!
I think the changes are obvious really, I'm a bit taller, my hair is longer, I probably know a little bit more yet believe a little bit less. If only we could live in a 2 year old's mind for a day or so what a wonderful fun little world it must be.
Hang on a second, I listen and natter to my 2 year old day in day out – I wonder if there are as many ways I haven't changed..?
I still have a huge pile of toys in my bedroom (and a cot)!
We have the same little wooden trolley full of bricks.
I spend a good part of my day playing with them, building towers, organising toy cars, pretending to make phone calls etc.
I play imaginary games on a daily basis, especially anything that involves needing a journey in anambulance or lying on a doctors couch.
I get excited and alert everyone when I see police car, ambulance, fire engine, digger etc.
I occasionally enjoy an afternoon nap if I get the chance.
My clothes are usually decorated with splashes of yogurt, spaghetti sauce and crumbs.
I still read 'Where's Spot' before bed most nights.
This is my entry for the BritMums/Special K "How I've Changed" Linky Challenge and I was sent a box of cereal to try.

MANILA--Philippine property developers remain bullish thanks to robust economic growth and housing and potential hotel demand.
There is stiff competition in the middle residential market, but demand from the high- and low-end segments remain healthy as does that for office space, according to Ayala Land Inc. (ALI.PH) President Antonino Aquino.
"The fundamentals are strong. There could be some short-term adjustments....in the middle market where everybody is," he said Wednesday on the sidelines of an Asia Pacific Real Estate Association, or Aprea, meeting.
Foreign buyers now account for a third of customers for high-end developments, Robbie Antonio, managing director of listed Century Properties Group Inc. (CPG.PH), told the Aprea forum.
Developers also expect a tourism push will mean demand for more hotels. The government hopes to attract 10 million foreign tourists by 2016 from a goal of 4.6 million this year.

Wonder what the gold is commemorating.
Aren't we the visitors on Saturday? I guess it will be white and not red tops?
I wouldn't say I'm a traditionalist because I love what Oregon, Baylor, Arizona St., etc. are all doing with their unis, but I don't think that would fit our program's identity, but I can handle gold if we're adding a new color. Still want white helmets asap tho.
Also I think we could pull off black if done correctly. Maybe gradient numbering that fades from white to red? That way we don't look like Tech.
Really do need to bring these back sometime.

I just think replacing the white in our uniforms with cream would give us a more distinctive brand. Don't have to make any radical changes to the uniform.
I'd rock a crimson hoodie with cream Oklahoma lettering. It's the perfect time in OUs history to make a change like that.
There's a reason cream has never been used in football.
It doesn't look good.
Baseball? Absolutely
Football? lolno
Keep the colors, just add a white helmet and red pants, and for the love of God, DO NOT WEAR CRIMSON/CRIMSON/CRIMSON.
We've never tried it with modern uniforms. How would you know?
It just seems silly to say that a color works in another sport...are you serious? A color combination is going to work or not work regardless of what sport it's being utilized in. The only difference is it's been used in other sports and worked, it's never been tried in football. Much more painful color combinations have been utilized at other schools for alts, and we seem to be the only major school not doing a yearly alternate uniform, why not give it a shot. They are our official colors after all.
There are like five schools that use crimson and white as a color scheme, it can't hurt to try and separate from that crowd.
i'll be disappointed if we ever have black or gray uni's. I hate them. Not against alternates, in fact i want a fauxback. just not tire tread or neb type crap.
It's good to see that after all this time this thread is as fresh as ever.
Fuel for the gold fire...and it appears our friends to the south will be in on it as well:
would buy. Free is my favorite shoe to run in
More pics:
interesting on the gold...
So the gold trim is another way for Nike to make a few more bucks. Now it makes perfect sense.
I think the gold is gonna be sweet
So crimson numbers/lettering with gold outline? Sounds like Florida State to me. Are pants stripes going to be changed in some way?
I would love to see us do a "blacked out" uni for just one game. Possibly some kind of tribute (like when Bob Barry passed or Coach Switzer hopefully a long time from now). Maybe some initials on the lapel or sticker on the back of the helmet.
Just do it one time though, so that whenever you see a picture of it from now until forever you know what game it was for and why.
Other than that, I don't mind flecks in the crimson or whatever, just don't turn us into Maryland/Oregon please.

Like it.
i do too. not what i REALLY wanted. but i like it.
eh.... i might pick up the shoes though!
I like it. Is the gold for something special or just a Nike gimmick?
To those saying white helmets. Why would we do that against Texas? We don't want 22 white helmets running around on the field. You want your helmet and jersey color to be as different as possible from your opponent so that your QB can make quicker reads. Anything that would make your QB hesitate, even for a split second, could make the difference in a game. The only way I see it happening against Texas is if they were burnt orange helmets.
Traxx, I would not be in favor of wearing white helmets against a team that also wears white helmets.
Big Rivalry Game. Another way for Nike to make money. I am sure UT will do the same as well.
So both teams are adding gold to their normal unis?
Meh. Doesn't do much for me.
I didn't come here with anything insinuating the I know something you don't know mentality. You got it all wrong son. I was giving the heads up and was proven right when several douches were calling me out.
so Texas is mixing gold with their burnt orange?
Saw the replica jersey in the bookstore just now. Kind of a let down honestly, I was expecting much more than some gold trim.

There was a full presale months ago with fucking LAWAWAY.
Here is a list of people that have made it clear, some speaking with profanity, that Goldenvoice IS NOT selling tickets on the secondary market. You are all wrong, plain and simple.
Neighborhood Creep
Yes, at first I did not have "evidence" that Goldenvoice was selling tickets on stubhub except for the fact that selling on stubhub is the most logical strategy for a company in this situation to play its hand. To the list of Coacheller posters above, be prepared to be schooled:
Here are snippets from an interview Evolver.fm did with the head of communications at STUBHUB, Glenn Lehrman:
Evolver.fm: With scalping, it seems like on the fan side, prices just go up while bands, venues and promoters dont see any of that extra money.
Lehrman: Well, I dont know if I agree with that notion. Theres a transparency issue. You dont know how many of the tickets are actually making it on sale to the public. Weve seen reports where only 13 percent of the tickets ever went on sale to the public. Theres a vibrant business with the promoters, venues and artists on our website. I can tell you for a fact that I know a number of artists and promoters list substantial amounts of tickets for their tours through StubHub, because thats probably what they want to charge for a ticket, but cant do so publicly.
Evolver.fm: Really.
Lehrman: Yes, and this is the way of the world forever. Youve had promoters selling tickets in back alleys, and now they have found a legitimate way to do it. People condemn us for having the brokers, resellers, scalpers or whatever you want to call them buy up all the tickets and list them on our site. But those are not necessarily the people who list them on our site. Yes, they exist, but theyre a smaller percentage than you would ever believe....
Lehrman: This goes back to my transparency answer. Theres just not enough tickets being made available to the public. If theres only 3,000 tickets going to the public from a 20,000 seat venue, then, of course, prices are going to be high.
Evolver.fm: To be clear, where are the other 17,000 tickets?
Lehrman: I think whats happening is, say 20,000 tickets are available for a show. Of those, 4,000 go to a pre-sale, 2,500 go to a fan club, and then it comes time for the actual public sale, say 10am on a Saturday, and only 3,000 are on sale there.
Youve got about 10,000 tickets that have gone on sale, and 10,000 that have been held back in some capacity. Most of those held-back tickets are funneled onto the secondary market. Enough tickets were never available in the first place, so people are able to get a premium for them.
This information comes directly from the horse's mouth -- Stubhub. For you Coachellers, IT IS OBVIOUS that THE CORPORATION is selling tickets on Stubhub. I don't fault them for it, it makes complete business sense. Just understand -- Coachella is not an event to make everyone happy, it is all about $$$$$$$$$, and $$$$$$$$$ they get. And yes, Goldenvoice and Coachella care about you(r money). Especially with 2012's shitty lineup and the double weekend.
Request to Message Board -- make this thread a sticky ;-)
This is not the same thing as "Goldenvoice lists tickets for Coachella on StubHub".a number of artists and promoters list substantial amounts of tickets for their tours through StubHub
2001, 2004, 2007, 2009
2013 EDM wishlish (please):
classixx, stanton warriors, logistics, jefr tale

Kraak & Smaak, sergio & benoit, kris menace, bassjackers, DJ Craze
DIGITALISM, knifeparty, chemical brothers, bassbintwins, seth troxler
Retarded yawpings aside, I wonder if maybe they limited the capacity to something really reasonable this year since they are doing the two weekends (and they did go faster than ever)
Maybe its 60k a day now.
"All of you coachella 'regulars' have nasty boy pussies and itchy dick4's on your asses.
Why don't you all make like a tree and get chopped down and die. You all have been dreadfully mean to me.
I Hate you. All of you. None of you will ever get to see a womans chest meat or finger blast hott cougies like me.
Fuck you all. Consider this my resignation.
Fair the well, you elitest scumbags."
Faxman75, who has clearly had enough
I thought we heard in an interview early on it would be capped at 65k though I can't source it at the moment. Maybe an L.A. Times story from 7 months ago or something?
My point is that why was there more LCD/MSG tickets on various broker sites than both Coachella weekends, despite having 10 times as many tickets? Not to mention that Coachella is a GA festival that took a week to sell out in both 2011 and 2012 factoring in the presales. The GA weekend pass bought a milisecond into the onsale is worth the same as the one bought 6 days later - different from shows where there is assigned seating with good seats going for major premium.
If GV really wanted to fuck us over Coachella would be $400-$500 for the weekend by now as opposed to $325. Its been around $325 since it went 3 days, really not unreasonable.
Go look at the prices for Ultra and bitch in the ultra thread
Lay off the sativas brah
Hey OP ... some people have sex with animals. You are a person.
By your logic, YOU are havign sex with animals.
2014 completely unrealistic wishlist: Radiohead, Atoms For Peace, Elbow, Doves, Kristin Hersh, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Chemical Brothers, Faithless, Shy Child, Massive Attack, Zero 7, The Dickies, Holy Fuck, Seun Kuti and Egypt 80, The Flaming Lips
you want to talk about getting fucked over? go to any show put on by LiveNation. those fucking bastards do ANYTHING they can to squeeze every last dime out of you. ticket prices, service charges, food prices, advertisements everywhere, $5 water bottles which you are not allowed to keep the cap to, or its poured into a plastic cup to prevent refills or saving of said water for later. i've snuck in plastic bottle caps to LiveNation shows for this reason alone.
if you REALLY want to feel the burn go to a fest put on by LiveNation. the difference is night and day
<3 goldenvoice!!!
As a Sasquatch vet, I'll have to agree with you there anonimouse. LiveNation is pretty fucking awful.
You guys have obviously never promoted a show before. A promoter is selling a product! get it? it's a product that you either make money on, or lose money on. Guess what GV wants to do? I don't blame them...I really don't...but don't play stupid guys. You are buying a product, just like Cocacola or Nike, and you buy it because you like the product. Sure Coachella will look towards ways to make their product better, but they are also looking to make sure that their product makes more money. That's the goal at this point - to do what they love to do (put on a festival) and make a shit ton of cash while doing so.
Cooler than a polar bears toenails.
Here's the thing -- Maybe Goldenvoice/AEG are selling the 1000+ tickets on Stubhub right now.. maybe not.
What fucking difference does it make? Is it somehow immoral for Goldenvoice to sell tickets to their own event at whatever price point they choose? Is it wrong of them to make money? They're a fucking business. Get over it. They exist to make a profit. That's what businesses are.
If you think they exist to promote art and push some global agenda of caring about others through music.. you need to grow the fuck up. Those cats are after your dollars, and if you don't understand that, then you're the one with the problem...not them.
I was pretty sure Swedish House Mafia was after my heart
Artist build pricing structures into contracts. If they publically sell them more than the contract stipulates then the act can bring legal action.
I heard coca cola was withholding a part of their diet coke production and selling it on eBay for 3x the price.
Tom, hey Tom. I've got this idea and it's sort of groundbreaking. What if you and I join together to bring an entertainment service to people, where they can enjoy experiencing something they like? And at the same time, we can make money for putting together this service? I'm not sure how well the idea will go over, and at some point, we may have to resort to actually physically forcing people to give us money to experience this service with scare tactics and/or guns, but tell me what you think.
2/21: Parquet Courts, Meg Baird @ The Fillmore
2/22: Japanese Breakfast, Jay Som, Hand Habits @ Gray Area Theater
2/23: Tune-Yards, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, Sudan Archives @ The Fox
2/24: Octo Octa @ F8
3/2: Florian Kupfer, Privacy @ f8
3/7: Thunderpussy @ BoH
4/5: Kevin Morby @ The Fillmore
5/2: Khruangbin @ The Fillmore
5/13: Ezra Furman @ The Independent
Dance magic... My comment was cynical, but still stands. Of course the festival is about money, this is America. I don't harbor any delusions regarding the intentions of businessmen here, GV included. What pisses me off is the lineup... Have you even compared it to past years? Either you're ignorant or stupid (or both) if you believe this years lineup isn't catering to the masses with big money, mainstream names that are only billed to attract the most people possible. This kind of shit isn't what has made Coachella as popular as it is today, so it's obvious GV is moving in a different direction... Towards money.
Check yourself before you post stupid crap again. Thanks.

Main :: XD-V Digital Wireless Microphones
wireless mic forums
by moehnen on 2012-08-18 06:26:52.0050
I recently bought a XD-V70 and I like the sound, esp. the EV-emulation (767), very much. But (non-muted) there is audible background noise in the frequency-range above 6kHz, especially with the 767-setting. I tested the XD-V70 in different locations and with different PAs, with both outputs - always the same behaviour. Switching the env-filter to 'norm' reduces the noise, but speaking/singing into the mic brings the noise back again. With the band in the background it's no problem, but in between the songs it gets quite annoying. Is this a known issue? Shall I return the microphone?
With kind regards,
PS: found another topic with the same problem: http://line6.com/support/message/267983#267983">http://line6.com/support/message/267983#267983">http://line6.com/support/message/267983#267983

As per that other discussion, Stefan...
I feel you're indeed unlucky enough to have one of the (I'm guessing) one-in-ten-thousand faulty units.
Like you, I love the silky bass of the EV N/D767 model for some male voices and none of my five THH12 handhelds yield anything other than room ambience behind the desired signal, regardless of the mic model selected.
by moehnen on 2012-08-18 16:09:00.3250
Hello Ron,
thanks for your sad confirmation. It's a shame! It was the last set sold by the shop, so they can't exchange it. I will go for the XD-V75 when I get my money back.
by dboomer on 2012-08-18 16:46:30.5680
Hard to guess as to whether it is a hardware issue, but it could be. You could try loosening the mic capsule and re-tightening just in case is is caused by a connection to the pogo pins.
I'm curious .... does it happen on all models? If it is a hardware issue it should happen (although maybe in different amounts) on all of them.
by RonMarton on 2012-08-18 18:25:23.4840
Try Don Boomer's suggestion first, Stefan...
But your shop should still be able arrange repairs rather than spending more for a whole new system, indeed they'd be compelled to do so if the system is still under warranty.
Having said that, I bought an "extra" XD-V75 to go with my existing eight XD-V70's and heartily recommend not only its extra features and mic models (if you like the 767 model, you'll doubtless appreciate the V75's addition of a model based on AKG's D5) but also its "future-proofing" USB upgradeability via Line 6 Monkey.
It's well worth the relatively small additional cost.

by moehnen on 2012-08-19 08:52:13.6290
That's what I already tried. I took a sharp look at the pogo pins and at the conductor pads of the mic capsule but I didn't recognize any corrosion or signs of dirt. With the capsule of the noise is gone. I guess the xd-v70 switches to mute if no capsule is present. I would like to try another capsule, for example one out of my old sm58. Where can I find a pinout for the pogo pins of the xd-v70?
by RonMarton on 2012-08-19 14:25:20.7190
It still seems to me that you have a faulty handheld...
And that the best outcome would be for it to provide a bit of "leverage" to obtain a better deal on upgrading to a V75 !
by moehnen on 2012-08-26 05:20:22.1430
Some good news. I spoke to the dealer I got my xd-v70 from and he send in the mic for repair. He said it won't last longer than 8 days because there is a line6 support center here in Germany. So I'm awaiting the return auf my new born v70.
Dear Ron, dear Don, thanks for your help.
by RonMarton on 2012-08-26 11:07:34.3030
It is a real pleasure to find that we can help, Stefan...
But I would not be surprised if it takes a little longer than the dealer has said before you can really enjoy that smooth "767" model, with sound as good as (but more control features and freedom than) actually having an Electro-Voice N/D 767 on a cable.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Posted in September 2009
Yesterday I was at a meeting at DCMS about how the cultural, tourism, heritage & sport sectors can adapt to climate change. Roger Street of the UKCP09 was there with a great set of maps showing flood risk across the regions. Heritage sites such as listed buildings, churches and museums were marked, many swamped by blue (flood water). Central London has thousands of these sites. The bluest region is East Anglia, and this region doesn't have a flood barrier. I went up close to this map and saw the place I grew up in, my home, a tiny Broads village called Dilham, covered in blue. My mind lurched back to childhood, remembering the expanses of those Norfolk fields and broads, the dense wet woods that nobody walked in, exploring for miles on our bikes. My home was a vast space but on this map it was insignificant. If 'managed retreat' is applied in this area, it will also be gone for good not just damaged.
I was thinking about the concept of home throughout this meeting because the discussion was dominated by talk of tourists – visitors not being at home. Culture and heritage were seen within the paradigm of 'pleasure and leisure' (escape, fun, culture as commodity and so on) rather than 'knowledge and learning' (including ethics, science, community ownership of its heritage, media as educator and so on). Tourism was probably the focus because it contributes so much to the UK economy (the sector is worth £114.4bn).
Much of the talk was about how a visitor attraction might cope with and make an opportunity from an extreme event such as drought or flood, with positive suggestions including 'selling more ice cream'. Because we weren't exploring specific situations we couldn't articulate the risks and impacts with great clarity. It was stated that if UK has heatwaves and drought, it will be a less enticing place to visit, not taking into account that the UK will be less hot than other places. A key risk was noted to be that our organisations' reputations will suffer if affected by extreme events, which doesn't account for public equanimity when a crisis affects us all.
Like most Government departments, the DCMS doesn't have an international remit, so its sustainability strategy focuses on 'home' and therefore only looks at the UK Climate Projections and focuses on regional or local effects. This is an echo of the problem with the DECCassessment of its GHG emissions, because it neglects to account for outsourced industry and so it puts a positive gloss on its own ratings. It is part of the same closed logic which obsesses about carbon trading rather than collaborating internationally to support alternatives and geoengineering solutions. The UK is amongst the countries likely to be least affected in physical geography terms by climate change. However, we are an exceptionally globalised country – our home is the world in more ways than one. We rely on non-domestic sources for our food supply and many of our raw materials and manufactured goods. As more countries suffer severe consequences of climate change, there will be pressures on our aid commitments, our investment in preventing terrorism and war and our management of mass migration. In assessing how climate change will affect the DCMS family, and what we can do about it, we have to take these global impacts into account first and foremost.
These (rather big) quibbles aside, I was really pleased that DCMS is doing this work and talking about adaption strategies (not just mitigation) and I did learn a lot. I was also very thankful to be invited and hope my quibbling won't prevent involvement in future. I think that my quibbling may be more effective if my insight can be sharpened by challenge and support from others so do please comment on this and on the Framework for Climate Action for the sector. I need to know if I'm begging big questions because narrow logic is one of the biggest obstacles to effective action.

Barnes & Noble will develop a tablet with Samsung as it tries to revive its money-losing Nook digital business.
The tablets will combine Samsung's hardware with Nook's software and give access to Barnes & Noble's digital collection of more than 3 million books, magazines, and newspapers, the companies said in a statement.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook tablets are expected to be launched in a 7-inch version in the United States in early August. They will be sold in Barnes & Noble's nearly 700 stores and on its website, bn.com.
Barnes & Noble has agreed to buy 1 million tablets in the first 12 months after launch. This will be extended to 15 months if the devices do not meet sales targets, the company said in a filing.
Barnes & Noble Chief Executive Michael Huseby said the partnership was a major milestone in its efforts to rationalize the Nook business.
"Working with Samsung on co-branded tablets will allow the company to reduce its exposure to the substantial cost structure and other financial commitments that accompany ownership of the hardware production aspects of the Nook tablet business," he said.
Barnes & Noble said last year that it would stop producing Nook tablets until it found a partner, after losing hundreds of millions of dollars over the years trying to compete with the likes of Amazon and its Kindle, Apple and its iPad, and Google and its various Android tablets.
However, Barnes & Noble said Thursday that it would continue to offer its Nook GlowLight ebook reader, launched in October.

So I have this cabinet thing in my living room that holds most of the electronic equipment one normally finds in the main room of the house: router, modem, XBox, Wii, DVR, DVD player, etc. It works pretty well for all those things, and my living room outlet situation is such that it's a good thing it works, because I'm not exactly overflowing with options over here.
BUT! Man, do I have a mess of cords back there. I don't really care about organizing them, they can stay a tangled mass until the reckoning for all I care. But I don't like to look at them, and the cabinet is enclosed on top, but open in the middle for shelving (which is good, because I need remotes to be able to hit the sensors on the things in there, but bad because GAH! CORDS!) Something like this, but not:
So how do you hide your cords? Pictures welcomed, instructions/ideas are good too.
Also, feel free to post any other issues that are currently stymieing you, because I can't be the only one who watches too much HGTV and ends up feeling totally inadequate.
