BUT FIRST...this just in.... I have just been informed about a very good website, for those of you with an internet connection, please go to it. http://www.angelfire.com/my/logicalonline/recieved.html
Thanks to my friend Michelle.
And now back to lifes little lesson.
Todays is titled:
"F*ck da po-lice (Or, Always fight that ticket)"
Whenever you get a traffic ticket for speeding, always go to court for it. Even if you pleade guilty, and say "I was just drivin too fast cuz I wanted to get home" the judge will probably atleast lower the fine, and maybe take off some points. Also, theres a chance the cop wont show, so you could get off completely.
Trust me on this one, I speak from experience.
Current Mood: good
Current Music: TV - Sports Night, a good show, for all 11 episodes

subset: commoncrawl

2 PAVLOV S CLASSICAL CONDITIONING I. Introduction: Ivan Pavlov ( ) was a Russian Physiologist who won Nobel Prize (1904) for his work on digestion. Today he is generally regarded as a psychologist though his work is considered part of physiology. II. Classical Conditioning: It is a kind of learning in which a previously neutral stimulus acquires the property of a natural stimulus, come to elicit a response, through its association with a stimulus that naturally brings about the response. It is also called signal learning. III. Pavlov s Experiment with dog: A deprived dog confined in a one way glass sound proof cabin with metronome inside and a devise to drop meat powder in front of it. Sound is followed by meat within ½ second. Sound alone elicited salivation after conditioning. IV. Important Terms: 1. Neutral Stimulus: A stimulus that before conditioning has no effect on desired response. Eg. Sound of a buzzer 2. Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS): A stimulus that brings about response naturally (without having being learned) Eg. Meat powder 3. Unconditioned Response (UCR): A response that is natural and needs no training. Eg. Salivation at the smell of food. 4. Conditioned Stimulus (CS): A once neutral stimulus that has been paired with an UCS to bring about a response formerly caused only by the UCS. Eg:-Sound eliciting salivation
3 5. Conditioned Response (CR): A response that, after conditioning follows a previously neutral stimulus. Eg. Salivation at the sound of a buzzer. In classical conditioning, conditioning of respondent behaviour occurs through a process of stimulus association and substitution. V. Extinction : The process through which a CS gradually loses ability to evoke CR, when it is no longer followed by UCS. VI. Spontaneous Recovery : Reappearance of weakened CR to a CS after an interval of time following extinction. VII. Reconditioning: The rapid recovery of a CR to CS UCS paring following extinction. VIII. Stimulus Generalisation: The tendency of stimuli similar to a CS to evoke a CR. The greater the similarity between two stimuli, the greater the likelihood of stimulus generation. IX. Stimulus Discrimination: The process by which an organism learners to differentiate among stimuli, restricting its response to one in particular. X. High Order Conditioning: A conditioning stimulus (CS), eg. Sound of turning fork, can be used as UCS to produce further conditioning. XI. Experimental Neurosis: When discrimination of CS & UCS becomes impossible, the brain cell interaction leads to neurotic behaviour. XII. Neural Basis of Classical Conditioning: Researchers indicate that the site of conditioned response is cerebellum, a brain structure involved in balance and coordination. Other structures now known to be involved are hippocampus, amygdala and brain stem areas that project to or receive information from cerebellum
4 XIII. Why classical conditioning is included in B.Ed. Curriculum? Most of the emotional experience can be conditioned The attitude of students towards school, of teachers towards children and towards some class divisions are through the process of stimulus generalisation. Develop good habits. Develop interest and sense of appreciation. Eliminate undesirable habits. Eliminate phobias. Use in psychotherapy. Useful for language learning. Useful for animal training. Experimental Neurosis indicates that unless similar concepts are properly differentiated, the likelihood of confusion and problems in learning. Questions 1. Define Classical Conditioning? 2. What is the educational implication of experimental neurosis? 3. Distinguish between stimulus generalisation and stimulus discrimination. 4. How extinction differ from spontaneous recovery in classical conditioning? 5. Describe briefly the relevance of classical conditioning in education? 6. Explain Pavlov s experiment with classroom implications
5 THORNDIKE S TRIAL & ERROR / SUCCESS THEORY I. Introduction: Edward Lee Thorndike ( ) was an American Psychologist. II. III. IV. Experiment with Cat: A deprived cat in a puzzle box with a lever that would enable it to get out if pressed- and a fish visible to it kept out side random trails, progressive elimination of errors & successive approximation of learned response. Principles of Learning based on Thorndike s Experiment a. Learning involves trial and error. b. Learning is the result of formation of connection or bonds (S-R) c. Learning is incremental not insightful d. Learning is direct; not cognitive. e. The S-R connections are established in nervous system. f. The connection (bond) strength can be increased or decreased. Laws of Learning based on Thorndike s Experiment All laws explain how to strengthen / weaken S-R Bonds 1. Law of Effect: When a modifiable connection between stimulus and response is made and is followed by satisfying state of affairs, that connections strength is increased. When made and accompanied by an annoying state of affairs, its strength is decreased. It emphasises the role of reward and punishment in education.
6 Revised law of Effect: An unpleasant situation / punishment need not necessary decrease the strength of S-R connection. 2. Law of Exercise: a. Law of Use Other things being equal, the more frequently, a modifiable connection is made between a stimulus and response, that connection strength is increased. b. Law of disuse: Other things being equal when a modifiable connection not made between stimulus and response over a period of time, that connection strength is decreased. c. Revised law of exercise: Mechanical use / disuse does not necessarily lead to effective learning / total forgetting. 3. Law of Readiness: a) When any conduction unit is ready to conduct for it to do so is satisfying. b) When any conduction unit is not ready to conduct, for it to conduct is annoying. c) When any conduction unit is ready to conduct for it not to conduct is annoying. Satisfaction strengthens the bond, but annoyance weakens. V. Supplementary laws of Learning : 4. Law of multiple response:- When an individual faces a problem, he responds in a variety of ways before arriving at correct response.
7 5. Law of attitude:- Individual leans better if he develops a positive attitude. 6. Law of analogy:- When an individual faces a problem, the response he makes will resemble to an earlier response in a similar situation. 7. Law of pre-potency of elements:- Learner reacts to the learning situation in a selective manner, due to the influence of past experience. 8. Law of Associative Shifting:- Any response may be elicited from the learner, of which he is capable, in association with any situation to which he is sensitive. VI. Educatonal implications of trial and error theory in B.Ed Curriculum a. Motivate the child before learning. b. Make use of the previous knowledge. c. Arrange task from simple to complex d. Strengthen S R connections of those things to be remembered by regular use/ practice weaken others by disuse or by annoying consequences. e. Rote memory and mechanical repetition may be resorted judiciously. f. Punishment should be judiciously used. g. Provide maximum opportunity to review. h. Provide rewards, prize and praise. Questions Comment on revised Law of Effect. Define Law of Readiness How Law of Exercise is useful for teachers?
8 Explain the principles of learning based on Thorndike s experiment. Describe briefly the supplementary laws of learning Explain Thorndike s theory of learning with special emphasis on classroom implications
9 SKINNER S OPERANT CONDITIONING I. Introduction: B. F. Skinner ( ) was a professor at Harvard University. II. III. IV. Operant Conditioning / Instrumental Conditioning: It is defined as a process of learning whereby a response is made more frequent / more probable by reinforcement. He holds the view that behaviour can be shaped by reinforcement, and by chaining reinforcement, complex behaviour also can be shaped. Skinner s Experiment with Rat & Pigeons: Skinner Box deprived organism emitted response - instantly followed by reinforcement eg. Pecking a disc and getting a pellet of grain-repetition of the response. Important Terms Reinforcement/Reinforcer: A reinforcer is the stimulus whose presentation or removal increases the probability of a response reoccurring. It is important that reinforcer is contingent upon response ie, response result in the occurrence of reinforcer. Reinforcement is the process of manipulating the reinforcer. Positive Reinforcement: Any pleasant stimulus whose presentation increases the likelihood of a particular behaviour. Eg. Prize to a child. Negative Reinforcement: Any aversive stimulus, the removal of which increases the likelihood of a particular behaviour. Eg. Electric shock Punishment: The presentation of an unpleasant stimuli after an undesirable response.
10 Omission Training: Positive reinforcement is withdrawn following an undesirable response. Eg:- Parents turning off TV following some undesirable behaviour. Primary Reinforcer: Reinforcer which directly satisfies physiological needs. Eg:-Food, Water, Secondary Reinforcer: Reinforcer that satisfies acquired need rather than inborn ones. Eg. Money is a good secondary reinforcer. It does not satisfy any physical need directly. Shaping:- It refers to the judicious use of selective reinforcement to bring certain desirable changes in the behaviour of the organism. The basic process in shaping is successive approximation to the desired behaviour. Eg. Skinner taught a pigeon to walk in a fig.8 through shaping. At first Pigeon got its reward for simply turning its head in right direction, then for taking a step in the right direction, then for making the correct turn, and so on until it had learned to do a complete figure 8. It is useful as a technique for introducing desirable modification in the behaviour. Stimulus Generalisation: Tendency of similar stimuli to elicit same response. Stimulus Discrimination: Probability for response to occur more often in the presence of one stimulus than others.
11 Why Skinner s Operant Conditioning is included in B.Ed. Curriculum? 1. Learning process should be so designed as to create minimum frustration and maximum satisfaction, because behaviour depends on consequence. 2. Useful for behaviour modification. 3. The complex learning task to be presented in simple units with provision for reinforcement after each unit. 4. Motivation, especially extrinsic should be given importance. 5. Reinforcement should be given at proper time. 6. Avoid punishment. 7. Ignore improper behaviour for extinction. 8. Useful for programmed instruction & PSI Programmed Instruction (P I) A method of teaching, using teaching machines, a device for serial presentation of frames with smallest teaching units with provision for immediate testing and feedback self learning strategy with built in feedback mechanism. Following steps of shaping is used in PI 1. Complex task should be reframed into simpler tasks, for presenting. 2. Reinforcement contingent upon performance of each step. (Knowledge of result or feedback is the reinforcement) 3. Learning proceeds at his own pace. (Self initiated learning}
12 Personalised system of Instruction (PSI) Also known as Keller Plan. Fred. S. Keller developed it to teach psychology for post graduate students, dividing the entire portion of the course into small units, each learned by the student, tested by the proctor before proceeding to next unit. 1. Materials of courses is divided into simple units, each must be mastered before entering to the next. 2. Take their own pace. 3. Being allowed to go to the next unit after mastery of first unit is the reinforcement. Questions 1. Define Operant Conditioning. 2. Distinguish punishment from Negative reinforcement 3. Differentiate between punishment and omission training 4. Discuss how Operant Conditioning is useful for PSI. 5. Explain shaping with an example. 6. Suggest an instructional programme based on operant conditioning theory of B.F. Skinner and explain it. 7. Explain Instrumental Conditioning theory of B.F. Skinner with special emphasis on classroom implication. Reference: 1. Atkinson & Hilgard Introduction to Psychology (2009) 2. Berkeley Calif & Mc Cutchan Learning and Instruction (1977) 3.

Deluxe has been rev -amped!
Thursday, 26th April 2012
Wow, thanks to my friend and amp technician John Kelly the amp is starting to sound great. I thought it needed a couple of new valves but there was a problem with the output transformer – eek! I was emailing California and Chicago. John got one direct from Fender (thanks to the 65 reissue). It's now starting to sound lovely. What have I done for him lately? Well i arrived to pick up the Deluxe with an out of order SELMER TRUVOICE, yes one of the original TV12's. As I said to John, no it didn't work when i pulled it out of the skip about 15 years ago…
Watch this space, will he get it working? (more…)
Deluxe reverb
Monday, 16th April 2012
I've just bought a 1970s Fender deluxe reverb. Like the big brother/sister to the Princeton I have.
Wanted one of these for years. It's really ugly and scarred though and the valves are representative of the United nations; American, Russian, Dutch, British…
Definitely needs some TLC hope to bring it back to life.

NHL 14 Includes NHL 94 Anniversary Mode
Samit Sarkar, writing for Polygon:
NHL 14 players will be able to travel back in time with the game's NHL '94 Anniversary Mode, a special mode to mark that seminal sports title's 20th anniversary, publisher Electronic Arts announced today.
You'll use a throwback three-button control scheme to play: pass, shoot and turbo. An EA Sports representative told Polygon that gameplay in the mode will have more of an arcade feel than NHL 14 proper, with a faster game speed and a higher prevalence of big hits. It will also relax the rules of hockey — no penalties, offsides or icing. Expect to see players break glass with slap shots and body-check goalies.
Without a doubt, NHL '94 is my all-time favorite video game. My uncle and I played the crap out of it on his Genesis back in the day. He still has it, so we play it whenever we're feeling nostalgic.
I've only ever had two criticisms of the game: (1) EA removed the fighting that was included in NHLPA Hockey'93; and (2) there was no season mode. If NHL '94 had these features, it would've been the perfect sports game. Nonetheless, I have fond memories of playing it, and it'll forever hold a special place in my heart.

Is pregnancy sexy?
I read this blog faithfully every time there is a new post. Today's post was simply a link to something the author had written about a new commercial for "HOTmilk Lingerie."
I know everyone has different feelings of their pregnant body. I personally do feel extremely attractive, even sexy while pregnant. When I am not sporting my big baby bump, I usually have very low self esteem and never think of myself as an attractive woman. Yet, while pregnant, I feel as if I am the most beautiful woman in the world. My husband, tells me he thinks I am beautiful all the time pregnant or not, but when I am pregnant, he just seems more attracted to me. It is like once I hit the 3rd trimester he can't stop staring and drooling, LOL. Which of course, helps boost my self esteem as well. I find the pregnant body to be absolutely stunning. Absolutely sexy.
Anyway, what are your thoughts? Now that all of us have big bellies, how are you feeling about your self? Do you think lingerie marketed for pregnant women is a good idea? Or do you find it kinda sick?
Just looking for others thoughts to make sure I am not just a complete freak.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
This, and training wheels. You're in one of the biggest libraries in the Forgotten Realms. There's bound to be a section on proper dwarfing, not to mention proper defending.
The shaman and barbarian biographies both suppose that one of Candlekeeps visitors tutored you a bit.
Despite the phrase "extensive training" you have to remember you're just level 1. You've only really learned the basics of Dwarven Warfare. You'll refine your skills in actual combat later.
Not as strange as an elven dwarven defender, though. It kinda makes sense that some can't be mages or bards — they lack that magic 'gene', or whatever — and maybe some (paladin) have powers bestowed by particular gods. In PnP my groups tended to stick with the restrictions, unless you could make a reeeeealy good case for, say, a halfling druid and everyone agreed on it from a roleplay and powerplay perspective. But you can't program an analysis of the argument and vote, so for a computer game, ...
The real question is why only dwarves can be dwarven defenders, when these same resources are available to anybody at Candlekeep.
Feel like a lot of the racial restrictions get a bit weird when you have a player character mostly removed from any race-specific culture.
It's not tied to their size, it's tied to their beards.
I could buy that some of the Dwarven Arts are specifically tied to their size, ruling out taller races.
That still leaves halflings and gnomes though.

'Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed' and so I did! You know how I said I would do a diary style blogmas, and I would write about what I did the day before? Not a great idea I must admit, so from today onwards I will be posting about what I did on the actual day - which is totally gonna mess up the dates, but hey ho! Before I get on, I will update you on what I did yesterday, which was a bit more than I did today haha. I went to work quite early, which is ridiculous because I am meant to be doing late shifts, but I had to be at work at 11am which does not class as late in my books! But I had a really good day, I had lovely crew, lovely passengers. I got into a massive conversation with a passenger over waterproof mascaras, and recommended she get the Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara. She was about 60. Imagine me telling a 60 year old the name of this product haha. But she was so open minded, very young spirited, not to mention totally classy and gorgeous, so she found it hilarious.
Dress PRETTY LITTLE THING, Shoes CHANEL
Today I just stayed in bed the WHOLE day. I wish I was joking, but I've been having the worst headaches the past few days, and been feeling so tired and drained. I done a full week of really early shifts last week, waking up at 4am for 5 days straight, and my days off were pretty go, go, go with all the travelling to and from London. And before I knew it I was back to work again, doing these stupid mid-shifts which tire the hell out of me. So yeah, I needed a bit of downtime.
On another note, my best friend's present came in the post today and I am so gutted I don't get to keep it! Haha. I won't mention what I got because she might read this, but you know when you just love something that you end up wanting it for yourself? Yeah, that! Ricardo's gone for a Nando's with his friend and asked me to go with him, but I quite like letting him have his guy time. So instead I remained in bed (still haven't showered or washed my faced today), but I did ask him to bring me back a quarter chicken with some chips and garlic bread. Yum!!
Lots of love, SFS.

Some people think that Earth diamonds take billions of years to form. But the fact is that today we know that the process of forming diamond itself can just take hours and days under the kinds of pressures available deep inside the Earth. (Of course, then diamonds can lie in the ground for any length of time.)
Deep inside the Earth, there exist pressures of 5GPa and up to 350 GPa and higher. Under those conditions, we now know diamond can crystallize within days or even hours. Diamond as we know it — solid diamond at reachable depths — then results when it is cooled very fast. Because if it is cooled too slowly, graphitic, non-diamond rock results. (So only if an eruption helps shoot up material to the Earth's cooler layers very fast — no slower than within a few hours — then the unique crystal called diamond is locked in. If it takes longer than a few hours, no good diamond results.)
At Diamond Foundry, we are re-creating conditions under which diamond forms. It turns out technologies for growing diamond today can manage to approximately replicate the speed of Earth's formation process — but cannot yet beat it. Earth can sustain much higher pressures at deeper depths than any man-made technology is capable of today. Plus we have not yet found a way of growing diamond at lower pressures in ways that are distinctly faster than higher-pressure technologies are capable of.
Read more here at Smithsonian: "One of the things we know, therefore, about any diamonds that were brought to the surface is that the process of the Kimberlite eruption bringing the diamonds from the upper mantle to the surface of the Earth had to happen very quickly, because if they were traveling too long and too slowly they would have literally turned into graphite along the way. And so by moving quickly they essentially got locked into place into the diamond structure. Once the diamonds have been brought from high temperature to low temperature very quickly—and by quickly, we mean in a matter of hours—these eruptions, these Kimberlite pipes moving to the surface, may have been traveling at rates of 20 to 30 miles per hour. Once the diamonds are brought to the surface and cooled relatively quickly, those carbon atoms are locked into place and there's just not enough energy to now start rearranging them into graphite."

West Palm Beach, Florida (JusticeNewsFlash.com – News Report) – Those who had a history of chronic childhood ear infections may be prone to craving fats and sweets, leading to overweight or even obese individuals. Taste and hearing experts researched that constant ear infections may cause severe damage to a vital taste-sensing nerve. According to figures from the Federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), more than 7.2 million children under age 18 are treated each year for ear infections. At least 9,000 are hospitalized for otitis media (medical term for ear infection) each year.
Additional results from research at the University of Florida College of Dentistry in Gainesville show that those with a serious history of childhood ear infections seem to be about 70 percent more likely to be obese than those with no history of infections. The unfortunate part is that many of these 'patients' suffering from a damaged 'chorda tympani nerve' (which runs through the tongue, along the side of the face and behind the eardrum on its way to the brain) do not even know why they cannot stop eating sweet and fatty foods.
The most recent study has been conducted by Linda Bartoshuk, a scientist with the McKnight Brain Institute's Center for Taste and Smell, in the University of Florida's College of Dentistry. She along with her researchers tested more than '6,500 people who were asked to record basic information about age, sex, height and weight as well as the intensity of their preferences for 26 different sweet, salty and high-fat foods.' Other questions entailed whether or not they had had many ear infections as children, and if so, had they required serious treatment such as antibiotics or tubes.
Additionally, an article from MSNBC stated that "an analysis of health records of nearly 14,000 children in the early- to mid-1960s showed that those who had tonsillectomies, a once-common treatment for ear infections, were at greater risk of being overweight. Children ages 6 to 11 who had their tonsils out were about 40 percent more likely to be overweight, while teen girls were about 30 percent more likely to be heavy." (taken from the director of the epidemiology and biostatistics program for the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders).
In conclusion, the link is interesting in that "about 17 percent of those with moderate to severe ear infections were obese, compared to about only 10 percent of those with no infection history, a 70 percent increase. An additional 35 percent of those with histories of infection were overweight, compared to about 31 percent of those without infections, a nearly 13 percent jump."
Yet this should not be seen as the 'easy way out', simply because you experienced ear infections or damage as a child, does not mean that you will, without a doubt be heavyset or obese in your future. Instead, this information is useful to parents whose children have ear infections in order to monitor their sweet and fat intake and to provide a good example of a balance between healthy eating and exercising.

The Jacksonville Police Department is participating in a North Carolina Governor�s Highway Safety Program this weekend.
The Jacksonville Police Department is participating in a North Carolina Governor�s Highway Safety Program this weekend.
The �Booze It and Lose It� campaign in which law enforcement officers across North Carolina focus on DWI enforcement begins Friday, Oct. 26, and ends on Nov. 2, according to a JPD press release.
�Don�t get behind the wheel after you�ve been drinking � period� said Lt. Sean Magill, JPD traffic supervisor. �If you are planning to drink, plan ahead and appoint a designated driver � or program the phone number of a cab company into your cell phone.�
Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2010, 388 North Carolinianslost their lives as a result of alcohol-related crashes. There were no alcohol-related deaths on Jacksonvilleroadways in 2011, the release stated.
JPD officials want to remind residents that if they attend a party or gathering, consume alcohol and choose to get behind the wheel of a car, you face possible arrest, along with fines and court costs of up to $10,000. They could also, in a worst-case scenario, be involved in a crash that takes someone else�s life.
�One bad decision can cost you your life or the life of someone else,� Magill said.

Since everyone is offering their opinions, I beg your forgiveness for adding to the cacophony of chaotic chatter. I do not, as a rule, comment politically in this format or on social media as I am convinced it often serves no real purpose or benefit. Perhaps it is not without some irony that I am posting this in the first place. But over the last several months I have deeply troubled by the bitter antagonism and poisonous verbosity that has become the common quality of what goes as discourse, and now that the election is over I want to share thoughts that have been on my mind for quite some time.
Towards the end of the Gospel we are told that, when Jesus was arrested his disciple Peter, who apparently was not very skilled with the sword, attacked one of those in the arresting party cutting off his ear (John 18.10). Jesus, we are told, rebuked peter for this and restored the man's ear (Luke 22.51). Now, as a Bible believing Christian I think this event actually took place. But we would be blind if we miss another point. Whenever force is used, be it, physical, military, legislative, or political to advance the cause of Christ, the cause of the Gospel, we cut the ears off of people, and render them deaf to our message.* And what is Christ's example here? He rebukes the use of force, and then reaches out to touch and heal the ear of the one injured.
The Gospels tell us that Jesus actively avoided, and in a couple of cases outright rejected, political power as well a political expediency even when it ended up sending him to the Cross. Why? Jesus said, "My Kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36). Indeed, he says in that same verse, if it were my servants would be fighting to keep me from being delivered over to be tried and executed. This is nothing new for Jesus. Much earlier, before beginning his ministry, he was tested in the wilderness. The final test was this. The Devil offered him all the kingdoms of the word and their glory, if you will worship me (Matthew 4:8-9). We are given no reason to believe that this was an empty offer, in a sense anyway. Ephesians 2:2 tells that the devil does have a certain authority on earth, though not beyond the sovereignty of God. But Jesus rejects this offer as well.
It is clear from the Gospels that Jesus knew, rational individual that he was, that the task he had been given could never be accomplished through any form or show of power or coercion. This is why we find him coming into the world as a helpless child, meek, gentle and full of compassion. And so, I think this is part of the context of Ephesians 6:10-18 regarding the armor of God. "For we do not fight against flesh and blood." What Paul is saying here is that, while we do fight indeed, the real fight is not political, social, legislative, etc. As such, the manner and means by which we fight cannot be in those terms. Now, this is not to say that our fight might not have implications in these areas, but these are fruits that grow out of the person of Jesus and who he has called his follower to be. In short, they may be and end, but they certainly are not a means.
I do not presume to instruct or direct anyone here. You, whoever you are reading this, I may know you personally, and I may not. You may have seen my heart through my actions, and you may not. You may or may not value my opinion or consider me worthy of offering it. However, if you will suffer me my "half pence" here, it is this. Whatever hope or expectation that one may have in electing this candidate or that in order that he or she might enact policy or appoint judges that will be supportive of "Christian" values and principles, or voice support and lobby for legislation to that same end in order that their own sensibilities and comfort are not aggravated, is, at best, misguided if not, if I may be so bold, outright contrary to the Gospel. It is trusting in chariots and horses, fighting flesh and blood. Such efforts cannot succeed if the goal is the Gospel of Truth.
Gandhi once said, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." Whatever victory may be imagined from yesterday, was the fight the right one? There are many who woke up this morning that are hurting, despairing, afraid, and feeling a more acute sense of marginalization. Many of them, maybe most of them, are missing ears. On the other side, there are many who awoke to with the fresh happiness of victory, hope, and a sense of triumph. "No more of this!" Jesus said, and he touched his ear and healed him. This is the real task now. To reach out, with grace, tenderness, and real love. To live Christ with grace and truth, not law. (John 1:17).
*I am borrowing the basis of this idea from Dr. John Lennox found in "Gunning For God" and in a lecture or two on YouTube.

The T cell surface – how well do we know it?
Evans EJ, Hene L, Sparks LM, Dong T, Retiere C, Fennelly JA, Manso-Sancho R, Powell J, Braud VM, Rowland-Jones SL, McMichael AJ, Davis SJ. (2003), Immunity. 19, 213-23
The overall degree of complexity of the T cell surface has been unclear, constraining our understanding of its biology. Using global gene expression analysis, we show that 111 of 374 genes encoding well-characterized leukocyte surface antigens are expressed by a resting cytotoxic T cell. Unexpectedly, of 97 stringently defined, T cell-specific transcripts with unknown functions that we identify, none encode proteins with the modular architecture characteristic of 80% of leukocyte surface antigens. Only two encode proteins with membrane topologies found exclusively in cell surface molecules. Our analysis indicates that the cell type-specific composition of the resting CD8+ T cell surface is now largely defined, providing an insight into the overall compositional complexity of the mammalian cell surface and a framework for formulating systematic models of T cell surface-dependent processes, such as T cell receptor triggering.
Key figure: Cell Surface Molecules Encoded by Transcripts Identified in the Clone 32 SAGE Library
Schematic representations of the defined and proposed CD antigens and TCR components whose expression in clone 32 was detected by SAGE are shown. The two new seven TM proteins identified are also included (italics). The architecture of these proteins is drawn approximately to scale according to the conventions of Barclay et al. (1997). Unconventional domains or those for which there are no structures are labeled "?". The molecules are colored according to transcript abundance per 100,000: purple, ≤3; blue, 4–9; green, 10–27; orange, 28–81; red, >81. Complexes are represented at the level of the most abundant subunit-encoding transcript.
*Stringently defined, CTL-specific molecules.
‡Five integrin α domains were detected in clone 32 by our analysis: CD11a, CD49a, CD49c, CD51, and CD103, which associate with the integrin β chains CD18, CD29, CD61, and β7. Tags derived from CD18 and CD61 were found at high levels in the library but matched several other genes, preventing abundance determination. Integrin β7 tags were also present, but this protein has not been considered for a CD designation. No tags derived from CD29 were observed, presumably due to sampling effects.

Wind farm will destroy area's beauty
Credit: Williams News, www.williamsnews.com 19 April 2011 ~~
I am originally from Ireland and came here many years ago, fell in love with America, married (still), raised three responsible children, became a naturalized citizen and loved Arizona and the wild, wide open Grand Canyon area. I am not a newcomer to Williams. I have owned my property since 1973.
Now the Coconino County Planning and Zoning Commission and the Coconino County Board of Supervisors voted for the Perrin Ranch Wind Complex knowing that it will produce only minimal energy. Yet to be politically correct, they spend huge amounts of taxpayer dollars for a somewhat worthless project. It will produce a huge tax burden on our children and grandchildren.
Many in my family still live in Ireland, England and other parts of Europe. When I explained the windmill farm being erected in the Grand Canyon corridor, they were appalled that our elected officials would allow such destruction of our wild America. Tourists come here to see and feel the "wild open west." My family says they will come to visit me here in Williams, but do not wish to see a bunch of disgusting windmills cluttering a pristine area. They wish to remember it as it was on previous visits, so the visit here will be short, as they head on to the beach in southern California.
Williams will rue the day they allowed this boondoggle to destroy the tourist industry and are stuck with a bunch of idle, worn out machinery (that is the history of these projects) cluttering a once wild and beautiful landscape. Shame on the greedy, irresponsible groups who allowed this to happen. Many of these wind farms have been shut down in Europe and in America, as will be the fate of the Perrin Ranch Wind Farm.

Pharma Sales: Not All Drugs Are Created (Or Sold) Equally
Tony Jacowski
As a pharmaceutical sales representative, you will have to sell scientifically advanced products in a professional environment, to physicians, hospital personnel, pharmacists or patient advocacy groups. This sales job can be divided into a few sectors:
Prescription Drugs: The majority of pharmaceutical sales representatives work in this field. Their target customers are specialist doctors or family physicians, depending on the drug that is being promoted. Big pharmaceutical companies usually require sales representatives to promote their products. Each sales representative can endorse at least three main drugs, along with a few secondary products, for the promoted products. In addition, sales representatives need to make special efforts to promote newer drugs, because the patent protections of new drugs run out fast. Companies focusing on niche specialty drugs put their sales force towards specific medical specialists as the target customer, rather than doctors who are engaged in general practice.
Develop a Specialization
- Not qualified for a sales industry? Specialize through a degree program.
- Need help paying for school? Find a scholarship here.
Generic Drugs: Companies dealing in generic drugs, market products that are similar to branded drugs that are successful in the market. They do not target physicians, but concentrate on pharmacies.
Over The Counter Products: Many companies sell cough and cold remedies and analgesics, also known as non-prescription drugs, as over the counter products. Sales representatives selling these products need to call on family physicians to promote these.
As a pharmaceutical sales representative, you can also take look into sales jobs such as service sales representatives or system marketers, although scientific knowledge will be less important in these fields. What matters is your sales skills.
You do not need to have a medical background to be a pharmaceutical sales representative. You are eligible for his job if you have earned a 4-year college degree with any background. If you do not have a degree, then a good sales record can work in your favor. The most important thing is hard work and determination. However, having a degree in science is an advantage in this field, because a scientific background will be a great help in educating yourself about the product line, and reading and understanding scientific studies about medical products, along with an examination of its applications. As a pharmaceutical sales representative, you need to acquire a professional education as well. You can also take an advanced course in pharmacology, once you step into this industry.
Besides the education, you need to have intellect, stamina and good communication skills, as you will have to convince medical practitioners and business people to buy your company?s products. You will also need to conduct studies related to statistics, data, and other issues occurring in the health community. This field requires teamwork and good presentation skills as well.
Benefits Of This Profession
This profession has the advantage of flexible working hours, good financial rewards, and the independence to manage things on your own by being your own boss. If you get a job in a good company, you can enjoy bright career prospects, and sales training in new and exciting locales. Additionally, you will get the various benefits good companies provide, like a car, along with the freedom to set your day according to your way, as long as you produce good results.
The pharmaceutical sales representative profession can be a very profitable career option if you are ready to pursue it with zeal, determination and interest.

While I'm not on a carrier that hands out IPv6 over the radio (4g/LTE/etc), at least the WiFi support for IPv6 remains working 🙂
7 thoughts on "Android ICS and IPv6 over WiFi"
yes, ipv6 work in Android. I have do ipv6 in wifi and router. but Android system still not very good support ipv6. we have talk about this in pfsense forum. 🙂
I can get an autoconf IPv6 address over wifi also with ICS on the Galaxy S3, but can't seem to connect anything via v6. Can't yet tell what this issue is.
Confirmed with a tcpdump, the DNS queries going out are only for A records, never AAAA. This is both from a web browser and from a ping6 on the command line.
Also ICS does not appear to be using the default route learned from the RA. It sees the RA and configured a global address, but does not have a route for anything outside of its configured /64.
For hosts on the same /64 I see normal neighbor solicitations and ICMPv6 echo requests and replies.

This month is all about discovering new blogs, meeting new friends, and spreading the word about the launch of my young adult novel, MY SOON-TO-BE SEX LIFE, (Bloomsbury Spark, June 2014) by participating in this mega, 26 posts blog challenge.
Since Charlie, the main character in my novel, is an aspiring screenwriter who has plotted her own devirginization campaign - one that doesn't go as scripted - I thought an appropriate theme for this month would be: an alphabetical romp through the good, the bad, the ugly, and the downright scary representations of virginity in film. Warning - be prepared for adult content / strong language if you follow my posts this month.
Join me over the next 26 days for some swoonworthy and/or cringeworthy cherry popper moments on the big screen. Check out the multitude of amazing A to Z bloggers via the challenge main page, HERE. And don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY at the end of this post!
Thanks for joining me on this journey through virginity on film. Let's wrap up with ZEE musical ode to the V card - Madonna's, Like a Virgin...

One of them is chubby happy babies. I was on the bus on my way to work and a woman with this adorable chubby cheeked, dimpled baby boy sat next to me and oh, my, LORD. Not only did he look like a doll with big dark eyes and these amazingly long eyelashes he was very happy, and decided to spend most of the time they were on the bus flirting with me.
He batted his eyelashes, smiled a big gummy maybe two tooth smile, babbled, pointed, drooled and all round was very very charming. His Mom was adorable too and kept blushing but I told her I didn't mind talking to her baby and that I think he's beautiful.
I will also spend hours on youtube watching baby laugh videos. There is one that I swear every time I watch it I about piss myself laughing.
Given that I have the love for the wee and portly, the crawling drooling poop machines known as human babies I actually have no desire to have one of my own. I love kids but plan on having none. I'll borrow other peoples when I get the jones for baby cuddles and milk breath.
Ok off of the subject of crawling drooling ankle chewing creatures and onto one of my favorite subjects, clothes.
If you've been reading for awhile you'll know that Torrid and I have a rocky relationship. That bitch is mean to me sometimes. I say bad things about her, she taunts me. It's a vicious cycle.
However, we had a beautiful and romantic moment in the form of a gigantic sale.
I bought....wait for it.....pants.
I know I know I had that whole moratorium on wearing pants but I found the secret to pants from Torrid. I need anything low rise. The regular rise comes up under my fucking tits.
I got myself a pair of dark wash boot cut low rise jeans, one pair black trousers, one pair black denim pin stripe capri pants (i cannot believe I actually like those), and two cami tops. For 45 dollars which is, unheard of. And I am excited.
However I am not in love with the fall line. Into the Woods I am from Seattle people, I coudl live and not see anymore fucking flannelish plaid. I don't hate plaid but really, come on now.
I do love some of the individual pieces from this line. I"m loving the richness of the brown stuff. I might have to get me some of that. Cause, chocolate on chocolate is sexy.
Granted take my opinion about these things with a grain of salt since I am still one with the goth side of the force.
Which leads me to my absolute amusement that people have been using some of my pieces on PolyVore. How cool is that? I find it very cool.
What else?
OH I've been experimenting with some new make up lately. I am starting to grow some love for Avon products. I've been using their Avon Transforming liquid. It's a similar product to Urban Decay's Eyeshadow transforming potion. Basically both products can turn any powder shadow into a liquid liner. The Avon is totally about 12 dollars cheaper and works wonderfully.
I am really enjoying using it and am looking forward to November/December when I am going to go on a cosmetics rampage. Actually I probably won't do that. I'll most likely continue my uber bargain hunting and occasional orders to Fyrinnae.
I also need to stock up on brushes which I'll probably get from ELF cosmetics (I am an affiliate for them if you shop there pretty please click the link down there) I like their brushes and the price is great. They have lasted me a lot longer than I thought they would.
And now confession time. I really really am over the summer already. I want my fucking foundation back. Why? Because I'm vain and I like looking all hot and brown and velvety not hot and brown and greasy spotty.
i am ready for boot wearing cool weather and make up that hasn't sweated off by the time I get to work.
I think that's all I am a tired cranky little fucker.
Homo Out.

over time.

This is my new passion growing roses these plants smell and look beautiful in summer, the younger generation do not know what they are missing.I suppose as they get older things change and life slows down, you will appreciate what you have in a different way .
Roses are one of Mother Nature's most extravagant creations. Whether they are whisper pale or sublimely satrated, their velveteen petals and sweet scent make them the consensus blossoms for a bridal bouquet. Roses are so variable and different kinds often blend into each other so gradually that botanists seldom agree on the number of species in North America and there is even some confusion over the scientific names of some. Perhaps the most beautiful of fur local types is the one known as the Prairie, or Climbing Rose which lifts its clusters of blossoms above fencerows and thickets, often to a height of eight or ten feet. Pre-packed roses are bare root plants and can be purchased in early spring these usually come ready to be planed with the roots enclosed with earth and bound with a plastic material to keep the dampness in. Container grows roses, will be either growing or already in bloom when they become available for purchase in the early spring. Growing roses for beginners is not that much different than planting any other type of plant. The most important point you must be aware of is that you need good quality healthy soil and also a prime location.
Before planting cut off any dead leaves or thin and faded shoots. Any damaged or very long roots also need to be trimmed. Soak bare root plants in water for about 10-12 hours to restore moisture in the roots. Give the soil a good watering before you start to plant you new roses. Make sure the hole that you have you made is big enough for the root growth of the rose. It is a very good idea to use a good quality compost or mulch, roses like extra nutrients just like any other plant.
Roses need the same nutrients as all other plants; they are just a little bit needier. One of the most important things to remember, in growing roses for a beginner is that they are very heavy feeders and will need some fertilizer applications.
Fertilization for the roses should be done after 3 months. This would help to grow the roses faster. Fertilizing should be started in early spring and discontinued in early fall. Make sure not to over-fertilize (fertilizer should come with instructions) and water after each feeding. Roses require large amounts of water and a thorough watering twice a week should be enough.
Pruning is an essential part of your rose garden; it increases blooms and encourages healthy plant growth. Different varieties of roses have different instructions for pruning, so you might want to read up on your rose types and see what is suggested.
The main thing to remember in your rose garden is to water extensively, you will also need plenty of fertilizer and nutrients. Make sure to prune your roses to keep them under control and healthy. Even though rose gardening takes a little more time and roses are a lot of work, they are one of the most unique and beautiful plants, and definitely worth the extra effort.Roses can be purchased from many places with many different varieties, i started with one climber but now have over 30 different varieties in my small garden.The smell is fantastic when they are all in bloom, so start now on your rose garden.

Just want to mention a couple of improvements in our town.
The crosswalk at the bridge has been made more visible now that it is painted with yellow and white stripes. Any improvement that makes a crosswalk more visible is a winner in my book.
The parking stops that are in place on the school road and Highway 97 make it so much safer for a person with a walker; now we can use the paved area adjacent to the parking stalls and do not have to go behind parked cars to get to our vehicles.
At last there is a bench at Buy-Low so for those waiting for a ride or taxi, you do not have to sit on the curb.
Thank you to the Town of Oliver and to Southwinds Shopping Centre.
Marion Soames, Oliver
