Football Expert & Columnist @PaulMerse
Role reversals
Merse says QPR should win, but he's not tipping Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea or Man City to do the same.

As ever, you can follow all the Premier League action this weekend on Sky Sports.
We asked Soccer Saturday expert Paul Merson to look at the fixtures and give us his verdict on where the games will be won and lost.
Every week he'll be here on skysports.com to share his views on who he expects to be the winners and losers of the weekend.
Ford Monday Night Football: West Brom v Southampton
7pm, Mon, Sky Sports 1 HD
Steve Clarke has done really well to put plenty of pace in the West Brom team, especially going forward.
The speed of Peter Odemwingie, Romelu Lukaku and Marc-Antoine Fortune has been priceless and makes them a good counter-attacking football team.
They should have drawn with Man City because they were in the ascendancy at the end of that game and they were unlucky against Newcastle. They've conceded last-kick-of-the-game goals to two top six teams so they're doing ok. This team is not far away.
Southampton can't defend for toffee and Nigel Adkins has started making some strange decisions. He left Rickie Lambert out two weeks ago against West Ham even though he's their best player by a million miles (with the possible exception of Adam Lallana).
Sometimes when managers are under pressure they make bad decisions and if they keep leaking goals he'll be under even more pressure. I don't see them fixing it overnight and I don't see them grinding out the 1-0 wins that they need.
I can't go with anything but a West Brom win.
Ford Super Sunday: Liverpool v Newcastle
3.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD & Sky 3D
Liverpool missed a trick on Wednesday night by going out of the Capital One Cup.
They're a million miles off the top four in the Premier League, I don't think they can win the Europa League and the FA Cup depends on the draw. The League Cup still has Bradford in it and Arsenal and Chelsea playing weakened sides. They could win that!
Only two men in the world have earned the license to play a weakened team in the League Cup; Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger. They can do what they want, but you have to remember that fans turn up to see their team win games.
I know Luis Suarez plays every week, but if you're going to rest him then don't put him on the bench. Plus they don't play again until Sunday so they could give the players a few days off after the Cup game. It's not good for Brendan Rodgers when the fans start booing the team off and there's so much pressure on them now.
If Liverpool play well they can beat anybody at home, but their home record is awful this year. It's probably as bad as Barnet's in 2012 in terms of games won and I really should fancy Newcastle here.
But I know Liverpool can slaughter anybody on their day, so I will go for the draw.
Ford Super Sunday: QPR v Reading
1pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD
Reading fans should be majorly concerned. I would find it hard for Arsenal to beat my Sunday morning team if you gave us a 4-0 head-start.
If you defend right and do the things properly then teams shouldn't be able to come back, but Reading were very naïve. When Theo Walcott scored Arsenal's first goal they only had two men defending!
In training, you often work on forwards against defence. Sometimes a coach will put 11 attackers against four defenders and one holding midfielder and it's hard to score if they do their job properly.
I could probably play against Reading these days. They have nobody who can tackle and they're too nice; they're crying out for someone like Lee Cattermole who will get stuck in and wind people up.
It was pretty much Reading's first team on Tuesday night and as Brian McDermott said, it was embarrassing. They will be nervous even if they score the first goal against QPR and if they go 2-0 up and QPR get one back you can only imagine what they'll be thinking.
QPR haven't won a game all season, but suddenly everyone expects them to win this one. If Reading had beaten Arsenal there would have been a bit less pressure on, but now the fans, the directors and the pundits think QPR should win.
That could work in Reading's favour, but personally I think QPR will get that first victory.
Ford Football Special: Man Utd v Arsenal
12pm, Sat, Sky Sports 2 HD
Forget about the Reading game. It was a great performance from Arsenal to come back from 4-0 down, but it doesn't tell us anything about this game.
There aren't going to be many players on the pitch who played in the Capital One Cup. I doubt if four players who played in midweek are involved on Saturday, so I would play down the seven goals Arsenal scored in midweek.
I would focus on the two league games against Norwich and QPR when they only scored one goal and didn't create many chances. That's a big concern. Admittedly, they don't look like conceding goals, but they don't look like scoring either. It's almost the opposite to last season and they need to find that happy medium.
Last season they relied on Robin van Persie badly and now we are seeing why. He will get some stick from the away fans on Saturday, but I think he'll look forward to this.
Sir Alex Ferguson made a tactical masterstroke against Chelsea last week. I can't remember the last time Ashley Young kicked a ball, but he went with the wide men and Chelsea didn't know what had hit them in the first 20 minutes.
But I'm not convinced he'll do the same thing at home to Arsenal and I don't think he'll be happy to let a team keep the ball at Old Trafford like Chelsea did last week. The crowd won't be happy if they let Arsenal pass the ball around and they risk getting outnumbered in midfield if they play the same way.
I just think Ferguson will pick a team to win the game and I don't see Arsenal scoring enough goals. I've got to pick Manchester United.
Fulham v Everton
Martin Jol has a problem trying to get Bryan Ruiz and Dimitar Berbatov in the same team. They both need to play, but if he does that then then you haven't got a player going beyond the striker. I think Fulham look good going forward, but Everton are a good football team and this should be a draw.
Norwich v Stoke
Norwich thoroughly deserved their result at Aston Villa last week - they probably should have won that game - and then went and beat Tottenham in the Capital One Cup. I'm backing them to win this game because Stoke have been very poor away from home.
Sunderland v Aston Villa
Both of these would be in the category of teams that can go down. Sunderland can't score goals and Aston Villa have to make sure they don't lose the game. If I was to pick a winner I would pick Villa, despite their shocking form. I think Martin O'Neill might be a bit more adventurous and that could leave them exposed. However, both teams have been struggling for goals and I've got to go 0-0.
Swansea v Chelsea
Swansea will have their best ever chance of beating Chelsea on Saturday. Chelsea have to beat Shakhtar in midweek or else they will go out of the Champions League and they would much rather get a point in that game than this one. They've got 37 other games to get Premier League points, but this is a crucial match for them in Europe, so I think Swansea will get a result.
Tottenham v Wigan
Wigan are playing some good football and aren't doing too badly, but I've got to back Tottenham at home. They have been winning football matches lately and should do so again. Going out of the Capital One Cup was a kick in the teeth for them because they could have won that competition, but I think they'll bounce back.
West Ham v Man City
Like Chelsea, Man City have a must-win game against Ajax in midweek. I think they're out of the Champions League, but they need to win to qualify for the Europa League (but if they finish bottom of their group I think they'd be massive favourites to win the Premier League...) West Ham are very good at home and if they get their game together they can hurt Man City.

Lyrics: Traditional?
Music: Traditional?
This circulates on a tape thought to be the Second Story Men from sometime in 1963. It's just Pigpen on guitar and vocals. Thanks to Matt Schofield for the transcription.
The lyrics share verses in common with Katie Mae by Lightnin' Hopkins. Hopkins also recorded a song titled "It's Hard To Love A Woman" or similar, which may be a source for the other verses.
Well hard to love a womanNotes
When that woman she don't love you now
Hey now hard to love a woman
Well now that woman don't love you
[Tell your poor mind] on a woman baby
And you [rest of line inaudible]
Well now my mama said son
Well now best of friends they got to part
Well you know my mama said son
You know best of friend have got to part
Well you know some [?] [puttin' on a child]
They put them right deep down in the heart
Well that's alright now I said (note 1)
Somebody's [gonna get it]
Carrying on like that
Down around all across town
Man you don't feel no good
Well I know that woman is evil
Evil as a woman can be
Well I know some folks say she must be a Cadillac
But I think she must be a T Model Ford
Well now some folks say she must be a Cadillac
But I say she must be a T Model Ford
Well man you know she got the shape all right
Can't carry no heavy load
Well now say goodbye, goodbye [to Katie] (note 2)
Well that's the last word I got to say
Well I said goodbye [to Katie]
That's the last word I've got to say
Well now if I don't reach it tomorrow
Hope I reach it [first ?] any day

Greenpeace's 105-foot thermal airship, A.E. Bates, flew over Juneau, Alaska while the North Pacific Fishery Management Council was meeting to decide whether or not to protect the world's largest underwater canyons in the Bering Sea.. The North Pacific Council is the governing body that decides how much fish is caught in Alaskan waters and what protection measures need to be taken.
Despite the ecological and economic importance of this stretch of ocean, the increasing threat of climate change, and the uncertainty involved in managing these fisheries, there are no areas protected from fishing along the entire shelf break. That must change.

Jess Domanico '11, who chose Wilson College for the strength and reputation of the Equine-Facilitated Therapeutics program, is now a graduate student working toward a teaching career in English.
Jess graduated from Wilson College with two bachelor's degrees, one in Equine-Facilitated Therapeutics (EFT) and one in English. Now at Auburn University in Alabama, she is working toward a master's degree in English and plans to pursue a doctorate.
As an English student in Auburn's graduate program, Jess is required to teach. "I struggle sometimes, but Wilson prepared me for the kinds of obstacles I've faced thus far, and I'm doing well," Jess said. "The community here, though larger, is much like Wilson's; graduate students and professors alike are highly invested in the success of their colleagues."
After finishing her studies, Jess plans to teach English, possibly at a private liberal arts school.
"After my first semester of teaching freshman composition here at Auburn, I'm confident that teaching - in whatever form - is what I want to do for the rest of my career," Jess said. "The job market for professors is dismal right now, but teaching English at the college level is a dream I've nursed for some time and I will not give it up easily." Jess knew that she enjoyed teaching before entering college and initially planned to teach EFT lessons before switching to English. "At the time, I didn't know my second major would lead me to graduate school in English and toward a teaching career," she said. "I received an overwhelming amount of support from the English and mass communications faculty at Wilson, all of whom inspired me to make teaching English my profession."
Even though Jess is no longer pursuing EFT as a career, "I value my degree highly and transfer many of the teaching skills I learned in the arena to my classroom here at Auburn," she said.
As a member of the mounted drill, western and dressage riding teams; EFT Club; Candle Club and the Billboard student newspaper, Jess was a highly engaged student at Wilson. During her senior year, she was a peer teacher for the First-Year Seminar and was the student program director of EFT lessons.
While at Wilson, Jess formed a special bond with Toby, an Arabian horse used in Wilson EFT classes and owned by Ann O'Shallie, associate professor of equestrian studies and EFT.
"I enjoyed spending quiet time in the hidden pockets of the library and galloping along the trails with Toby," Jess said. "I also enjoyed the relationships I built with the faculty and staff there. That's something that really can't be replicated anywhere else."

There are several thousand 'fluent' speakers in Belfast. My parents raised us here with Irish as our first language, as did quite a few other families. They also helped found Ireland's first, and as far as I know, still its only, urban Gaeltacht, as well as founding the first Irish medium primary school in the north. From the initial 9 pupils in that first class in 1971, there are now over 4000 pupils being taught through the medium of Irish in the north every year, and the figure just keeps growing
The language is alive and well in this part of the country, with plenty of services and social outlets
.Others believe it is a neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to send the proper signals to move the muscles involved in speech
People with either form of apraxia of speech may have a number of different speech characteristics, or symptoms. One of the most notable symptoms is difficulty putting sounds and syllables together in the correct order to form words. Longer or more complex words are usually harder to say than shorter or simpler words. People with apraxia of speech also tend to make inconsistent mistakes when speaking. For example, they may say a difficult word correctly but then have trouble repeating it, or they may be able to say a particular sound one day and have trouble with the same sound the next day. People with apraxia of speech often appear to be groping for the right sound or word, and may try saying a word several times before they say it correctly. Another common characteristic of apraxia of speech is the incorrect use of "prosody" — that is, the varying rhythms, stresses, and inflections of speech that are used to help express meaning.
Children with developmental apraxia of speech generally can understand language much better than they are able to use language to express themselves. Some children with the disorder may also have other problems. These can include other speech problems, such as dysarthria; language problems such as poor vocabulary, incorrect grammar, and difficulty in clearly organizing spoken information; problems with reading, writing, spelling, or math; coordination or "motor-skill" problems; and chewing and swallowing difficulties.
The severity of both acquired and developmental apraxia of speech varies from person to person. Apraxia can be so mild that a person has trouble with very few speech sounds or only has occasional problems pronouncing words with many syllables. In the most severe cases, a person may not be able to communicate effectively with speech, and may need the help of alternative or additional communication methods.

The phrase 'not happy Jan' was popularised by an Australian Telstra ad realised in 2002. It quickly entered the Aussie vernacular.
It is used when someone is pissed off at another person (who doesn't necessarily need to be called Jan) for stuffing up in a stupid way and has inconvenienced you - but is used when more annoyed than actually angry.

Ten Arguments Gun Advocates Make, and Why They're Wrong
There has been yet another mass shooting, something that now seems to occur on a monthly basis. Every time another tragedy like this occurs, gun advocates make the same arguments about why we can't possibly do anything to restrict the weaponization of our culture. Here's a guide to what they'll be saying in the coming days:
1. Now isn't the time to talk about guns.
We're going to hear this over and over, and not just from gun advocates; Jay Carney said it to White House reporters today. But if we're not going to talk about it now, when are we going to talk about it? After Sandy hit the East Coast, no one said, "Now isn't the time to talk about disaster preparedness; best leave that until it doesn't seem so urgent." When there's a terrorist attack, no one says, "Now isn't the time to talk about terrorism." Now is exactly the time.
2. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Maybe, but people with guns kill many, many more people than they would if they didn't have guns, and guns designed to kill as many people as possible. We don't know if the murderer in Newtown was suffering from a suicidal depression, but many mass shooters in the past were. And guess what? People suffer from suicidal depression everywhere in the world. People get angry and upset everywhere in the world. But there aren't mass shootings every few weeks in England or Costa Rica or Japan, and the reason is that people in those places who have these impulses don't have an easy way to access lethal weapons and unlimited ammunition. But if you want to kill large numbers of people and you happen to be an American, you'll find it easy to do.
3. If only everybody around was armed, an ordinary civilian could take out a mass killer before he got too far.
If that were true, then how come it never happens? The truth is that in a chaotic situation, even highly trained police officers often kill bystanders. The idea that some accountant who spent a few hours at the range would suddenly turn into Jason Bourne and take out the killer without doing more harm than good has no basis in reality.
4. We don't need more laws, we just need to enforce the laws we have.
The people who say this are the same ones who fight to make sure that existing laws are as weak and ineffectual as possible. Our current gun laws are riddled with loopholes and allow people to amass enormous arsenals of military-style weapons with virtually no restrictions.
5. Criminals will always find a way to get guns no matter what measures we take, so what's the point?
The question isn't whether we could snap our fingers and make every gun disappear. It's whether we can make it harder for criminals to get guns, and harder for an unbalanced person with murderous intent to kill so many people. The goal is to reduce violence as much as possible. There's no other problem for which we'd say if we can't solve it completely and forever we shouldn't even try.
6. The Constitution says I have a right to own guns.
Yes it does, but for some reason gun advocates think that the right to bear arms is the only constitutional right that is virtually without limit. You have the right to practice your religion, but not if your religion involves human sacrifice. You have the right to free speech, but you can still be prosecuted for incitement or conspiracy, and you can be sued for libel. Every right is subject to limitation when it begins to threaten others, and the Supreme Court has affirmed that even though there is an individual right to gun ownership, the government can put reasonable restrictions on that right.
And we all know that if this shooter turns out to have a Muslim name, plenty of Americans, including plenty of gun owners, will be more than happy to give up all kinds of rights in the name of fighting terrorism. Have the government read my email? Have my cell phone company turn over my call records? Check which books I'm taking out of the library? Make me take my shoes off before getting on a plane, just because some idiot tried to blow up his sneakers? Sure, do what you've got to do. But don't make it harder to buy thousands of rounds of ammunition, because if we couldn't do that we'd no longer be free.
7. Widespread gun ownership is a guarantee against tyranny.
If that had anything to do with contemporary life, then mature democracies would be constantly overthrown by despots. But they aren't. We shouldn't write laws based on the fantasies of conspiracy theorists.
8. Guns are a part of American culture.
Indeed they are, but so are a lot of things, and that tells us nothing about whether they're good or bad and how we want to treat them going forward. Slavery was a part of American culture for a couple of hundred years, but eventually we decided it had to go.
9. The American people don't want more gun control.
The truth is that when public opinion polls have asked Americans about specific measures, the public is in favor of a much more restrictive gun regime than we have now. Significant majorities would like to see the assault weapons ban reinstated, mandatory licensing and training for all gun owners, significant waiting periods for purchases, and host of other restrictions (there are more details here). In many cases, gun owners themselves support more restrictions than we currently have.
10. Having movie theaters and schools full of kids periodically shot up is just a price we should be willing to pay if it means I get to play with guns and pretend I'm Wyatt Earp.
OK, that's actually an argument gun advocates don't make. But it's the truth that lies beneath all their other arguments. All that we suffer because of the proliferation of guns—these horrifying tragedies, the 30,000 Americans who are killed every year with guns—for gun advocates, it's unfortunate, but it's a price they're willing to pay. If only they'd have the guts to say it.

Such a simple answer for a complex situation. As for speaking maybe you should learn some vocabulary. I know that it takes rational thought and that is to much for irrational people but you could at least try and post and answer that shows why you might be right instead of a hate filled one.

It comes down to being in the wrong place at the wrong time not having a gun. Most gun nuts thing they would act responsibly with a gun let alone take down an active shooter. There are videos that show different.

5. See above. If we make guns harder for honest folk to get then we have less guns. Criminals and nut cases intent on mayhem have a strong incentive to get or make a gun. Less guns equals more crime. I know it's hard to get a mushy liberal head wrapped around that one but it has been conclusively proven by some of the foremost gun issue researchers in the US.

10. Your numbers are misleading...that 30,000 includes suicides. The simple fact is mass shootings are declining and violent crime is at all time lows outside the major cities. If you really want to do something about violent crime...outlaw cities over 1 million population. US violent crime rates are near the bottom of the world wide list if you remove the stats for our 5 largest cities.
Sat, 2012-12-15 00:42
I don't think this list makes any good points, but let us say for the sake of arguing that we should place a ban on guns or enforce very strict laws. How would you do that without undermining the Bill of Rights? "Sure, you have a RIGHT, as long as, you prove worthy first. It doesn't matter that these rights are GUARANTEED to citizens." Anyway, I warn you that pursuing laws that weaken the footings of a certain right weakens the footings of all rights. You yourself mentioned that it has already happened with religion. I don't believe any religion should be persecuted based on the actions of a few of their members. I don't believe in persecuting anyone based on their Muslim sounding last name. Don't be a hypocrite like those others people are that you point your finger at.
Your only ethical course of action then is to remove the 2nd amendment altogether. And there is a reason that altering amendments is very, very difficult to do. But, hey, if the vast majority of Americans believes as you claim they do then you should have no problem voting out the 2nd amendment. Good luck! It will never happen.

The list makes very good points. You are trying to convince us that no restrictions on any of the Constitutional Amendments somehow weakens the Constitution, but you don't say why it is unwise to restrict religion from allowing human sacrifice, for instance. You just sort of make the statement "pursuing laws that weaken the footings of a certain right weakens the footings of all rights." That only makes sense if you don't think about it very deeply. And what does " I don't believe any religion should be persecuted based on the actions of a few of their members" mean? Are you saying there shouldn't be laws against bigamy, or not allowing your sick child to go to a doctor or hospital, or human sacrifice, or any of the numerous deadly ceremonial rituals of religion?
the First Amendment guaranties free speech, yet it has already been established that you can't shout "Fire!" in a crowded theater. You're saying such laws weaken the Constitution, or the amendments as intended by the Authors? If you think the Founding Fathers would not have restricted the use of firearms, you are sadly mistaken, because they already did: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Yes, the right to bear arms is predicated on the necessity of a well regulated militia. And the right of the people to keep and bear arms, what does that mean? We keep arms in a well regulated militia, and in our law enforcement, and in our national guard.
I'm in agreement with others here that the Constitution can and should be periodically revised to reflect our present needs, not the needs of 18th Century colonialists.

Your examples of human sacrifice and theater safety are not remotely similar to a person owning a gun. Owning a gun does not cause injury to another person. A gun can cause injury in the wrong hands, but the ownership of a gun is not a violation of another's basic right to exist. By that argument all pencils should be outlawed because they can be used to stab someone to death. And you can do that one because pencils aren't protected by the Constitution.

Pencils are specifically designed for writing. That is their sole function. Guns are designed, and only designed, for killing. That is the difference. Since murder is illegal and writing is not, we need to strictly control the use of things that can commit murder. Make sense? If another gun advocate points out that cars kill more people than guns I am going to take their car keys away and shove them up their ass.
Tue, 2012-12-18 13:51
I noticed the part where you jumped from "killing" to "murder," without further discussion. Do you really think readers won't notice your nonsense, perhaps if you make "humorous" comments about shoving car keys up someone's ass?
Guns are designed for killing and sport shooting. Look it up, if you're not sure about that. I hope you actually know what "killing" means, so I won't belabor that point, but there are many cases of "killing" that are not "murder."
I realize that your point is diminished if you talk about the other (positive) uses of firearms, but you're being dishonest if you ignore that part of this complex issue. If guns are only used for murder, then why do police and armies need them?
The point is that a gun is a tool. It can be used to give a weaker victim a fighting chance against a stronger attacker. It's called self-defense, and it's more than a Constitutional right. It's a natural human right. As long as there are people in the world that would use their strength to do evil to others, there is a moral imperative to allow self-defense as a fundamental human right.

Alright.. here's my two cent son this issue. Assault weapons should be at least restricted. The ammunition for assault weapons should be even more heavily restricted, in order to accommodate enthusiastic Gun collectors. If you have a gun in your collection, you don't necessarily take it out, load it, and shoot it off. There's a difference, usually, between a collector's item and a utilised item, even if they are of the same type and class.
Next is the support of heftier waiting periods, Mandatory training, discipline and background checks for prospective gun owners. I am as liberal as they get, but I'm not an idiot. I believe an armed populace is a safe populace and it should be a fundamental right to own a gun or any other kind of weapon... however, I agree also that certain types of weapon classes (assault weapons, for example) should be more restricted, possibly even banned since there is no practical civilian need or use for them.
finally, I want to make an analogy: Certain martial arts disciplines are bred for killing or severely harming an opponent in the swiftest and most decisive manner possible. Many Martial arts disciplines can and are used to turn one's body into a lethal weapon. For example, Marines are trained in Unarmed combat styles that are meant to kill in the event a Marine has to fight unarmed. legally an unarmed Marine is considered a lethal weapon in and of himself.... the same is true for many Martial artists who reach black belt level. Should we start controlling what martial arts disciplines are taught in our country? It's nearly impossible to tell at a glance who is trained to use their body to kill in a matter of seconds. Thus, one's martial arts discipline might as well be a concealed weapon, right? I feel that if we start controlling Guns by banning them or making them a god awful pain in the ass to obtain for law abiding citizens or seemingly law abiding citizens alike (since sometimes you can't tell, due to some dangerous people not having criminal or psyche records) to obtain, then should we also start dictating who can learn what martial Arts style, based on lethality reputation of the style in question? And what of our military veterans who are trained to kill with their bare hands on par with a Black belt? What do we do about those who might have PTSD and may eventually become prone to snapping very suddenly, only to use their hand to hand combat skills to kill an innocent person? Granted, it doesn't happen as often, but the possibility remains. Perhaps anyone trained in martial arts disciplines bearing lethal reputations should be handcuffed and escorted from place to place by police? (yes, I'm being ridiculous there, but think about it)
In my opinion, it's much much easier and more reasonable to simply support a ban on assault weapons, if not restrict them and their ammo moreso, institute mandatory training and safety classes, stricter background checks, and a mandatory Psychiatric analysis (bet you all didn't think of that last bit, eh? As much as Shrinks suck, they might just be useful here) than to get all up and arms about banning or setting ridiculous restrictions on guns because a few bad apples went and killed a bunch of people.
Wed, 2012-12-19 10:52
Sunstroked, I have been making the same point over and over again - I do not understand the pro gun folks (specifically the pro weapons of mass destruction, aka assault weapons people) not seeing the difference between the two. As I look around the room I am in, I could pick up and use several things to kill someone; the snow globe, the vase, the fireplace poker...etc. They could be used to harm someone but their creation was not intended to kill. Guns were created for one purpose - to kill! Period... Civilized man keeps making deadlier guns and ammunition for what reasons again? I still need one good reason why we need so many deadly weapons designed to people in mass. One? So when I hear the "pencil" or "car" that could be used be used a deadly weapon (it's the people not the object) I just want to puke! We don't make Kevlar penetrating pencils and cars designed to kill large groups of people. Not the same thing now is it? The pro gun people who attempt to rationalize the old "guns don't kill people, people kill people " crap, clearly have problems stringing lucid and
rational thoughts together . In fairness, the problem is much, much broader than just more gun control and bans - it will take a wholesale change on how we view and value life in general.

Re "If another gun advocate points out that cars kill more people than guns I am going to take their car keys away and shove them up their ass.": I entirely understand your frustration even though I do not think its helpful to express things this way.
As I suspect you will agree, many of the arguments used to support gun rights employ obvious errors of logic and / or errors of reasoning. A prime example is this comparison to the car that is often used to defend gun rights. The presence of so many obviously bad arguments raises the question as to whether the people who use them actually know they are bad. Wayne Lapierre must be a smart person. When he says "the only solution to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun", he surely must know that many other things need to be established before such an assertion can be made with confidence. So it would certainly at least appear that he is "playing games" with the viewers by "hiding" the many assumptions that underlie this "slogan".
But perhaps many others are simply not properly educated as to what constitutes a valid argument, and that we should ensure that the general population is trained in the basic skills of proper reasoning. That may sound enormously patronizing but I suggest it may well be the case that the public needs such basic training (which, of course, is not tied to the specifics of the gun issue).

"I warn you that pursuing laws that weaken the footings of a certain right weakens the footings of all rights."
I have found that people who are against all gun control laws are often not as keen to protect the freedom of religion, which necessarily includes the freedom from religion. The collocation is not true in all cases, but often enough to be noticeable.

When it comes to the Constitution you really need to understand both the original intent AND further Supreme Court findings.
There were originally, believe it or not, 2 versions of the 2nd Amendment both worded the same but with different capitalization and punctuation.
1st Version (as passed by the 1791 Congress and written by William Lambert the Penman (Engrosser) of the Constitution. This version is in the National Archives):
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
2nd Version (this is the one that went to the states for ratification and was authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State at the time).
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Notice that both talk of a "well REGULATED militia" (my emphasis). The concept of a militia was a "citizen soldier" i.e. a farmer who, like the Minuteman during the Revolutionary War, could be called up and be able to provide his own firearm. This "citizen soldier" idea is carried into today with our National Guard but now primarily resides in military service in the Armed Services so the necessity of a "militia" per se is now a moot point. The Supreme Court in 2008 and 2010 clarified the 2nd Amendment and said that it protects an individual's right to possess a firearm, unconnected to service in a militia and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. So, yes, the "militia" idea has been modified to state that an individual has a right to own a firearm but for "lawful" purposes. It still must, according to the Constitution, be "well regulated". So, yes, you can own firearm but the government DOES have a right to control aspects of how you can acquire said firearms. Most rational people in this discussion are not telling you that you can't own a firearm. What we are saying is that their should be, at the very least, some common sense laws in place so that law-abiding citizens can both feel protected but also see that guns, being as they are deadly weapons, are controlled.
Btw, removing the 2nd Amendment COULD potentially make things even worse. You know have no control over regulating firearms. I know you are going to say "Well the government, without the 2nd Amendment, can know take away my firearms". However, on the other hand taking away the 2nd amendment means their is also nothing in place to prevent regulating firearms and would, potentially, allow ANYONE to own a firearm, i.e. the "well regulated" part of the Constitution is now gone.
Tue, 2012-12-18 20:06
Only partly true on original intent. You left something out in your militia discussion.
George Mason: "I ask you sir, who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people."
James Madison: "A WELL REGULATED militia, composed of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country."
Richard Henry Lee: "A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves…and include all men capable of bearing arms."
The National Guard is nothing like what is being described by Madison, Lee and Mason. And it shouldn't be a "moot point", and we shouldn't even have a standing army - the Founders you selectively quote were opposed to having a standing army. They did, in fact, make provision in the Constitution for a Navy to protect our shores. Without a standing army, the U.S. wouldn't have troops in over 100 countries and we would be focused on protecting our own country instead of Japan, Germany, South Korea, Iraq, etc...
Then there's this:
Thomas Jefferson: "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"
George Mason: "To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them."
Noah Webster: "The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops"
George Washington: "A free people ought to be armed."
Richard Henry Lee, Virginia delegate to the Continental Congress, Initiator of the Declaration of Independence, and member of the first Senate, which passed the Bill of Rights: "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
Patrick Henry: "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun."
George Washington: "Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
You seem to disregard the "shall not be infringed" portion of the amendment. A proper reading of the amendment in the context of the writings of the Founders is:
"Without a standing army - which we are opposed to and specifically stated that no appropriation for an army shall be for more than two years - a militia is necessary. Since a militia is necessary, we want everyone to have guns and know how to use them - from their youth up. While perhaps not every person in the country will be a current member of the militia, we want them all familiar with guns so that they will be prepared to assist us in the militia if we need to expand it in the event of some sort of attack on the country - from within or without."

Any reasonable individual will agree that the circumstances present when these words were written are not the same as they are now. The interpretation of the 2nd amendment is biased by the gun lobby and by the NRA. It is also based on the most ridiculous of "Conspiration Theories" where the "government has to be kept in check and militia might need to stop it from taking away our "liberties"
The world changes and so does the environment in which people presently exist.
To refuse any changes to gun control laws is un-American.
To refuse changes that would prevent innocent kids to die is un-American.
To permit the possession of merciless killing machines shooting 60 bullets per second in our country is un-American.
To accept all the false rhetoric from the gun manufacturers and the NRA about the reasons to own and use those guns is not only un-American but actually lobbies for the bullet and gun makers and plays right in their business strategy, regardless of damage to the innocent people who become casualties. Are those considered "co-lateral" damage?
Wake up and look at the kids and the innocent dying for nothing because of this insane, abusive and delusional interpretation of the 2nd amendment.
Fri, 2013-08-02 23:34
man you fell for the liberal lies didn't you???? the average person CAN NOT own a gun that fires 60 rounds/ second.....that means it would be fully automatic, which the average person CAN NOT own.
also tell me what laws that are being proposed would have prevented the innocent kids from being killed????

The Second Amendment should be repealed. Guns in our time destabilize democracy and constitutional lawfulness; they do not offer a deterrent to tyranny. But there are so many hundreds of millions of guns in so many tens of millions of hands in the US that even a flat ban on all gun sales would be like shutting the barn door after the horses are out. The truth is you would need some active measures of disarmament. And that won't happen soon in America.
Mon, 2012-12-17 12:21
Why don't you tell that to the unarmed people of Egypt that were recently beaten, gassed, and shot by Morrisey and his hijacking of the new "democracy". The first thing every tyrant has done is disarm the citizens. I'll bet there we Germans that said the same thing you did before Hitler took power.
Mon, 2012-12-17 14:01
Yeah, like when the United States beat Japan in WWII and enforced a strict anti-firearm law that eventually became the law of the land. I wonder what became of that....
Japanese gun deaths (Population ~128 million):
2006: 2
2007: 22
2008: 11
American gun deaths (Population ~311 million):
2006: 25,423
2007: 31,224
2008: 28,983
I know your brain doesn't actually function, but even YOU have to see how ignorant it makes you look to compare the cultures of US and Japan as if it is all guns faults.
the saddest part about your worthless, miserable, lonely life is that when you posted that, you actually thought it made you seem intelligent.
Wed, 2012-12-19 13:16
"I know your brain doesn't actually function" "the saddest part about your worthless, miserable, lonely life" You extracted all this from the post you replied to? Wow, what a perceptive individual you are! You by chance don't own any assault weapons do you? Attacking others in this manner shows a lack of intelligence

Democrat Franklin Roosevelt had a strong grip over Mainly democratic congress from 1932 to 1945. In that time he had passed several laws helping the American people crawl out of the great depression. However the Mainly republican supreme court blocked several new deal programs they claimed was unconstitutional. Roosevelt attempted to circumnavigate ths problem by packing the court with democrat judges. This was the only thing congress ever said no to Roosevelt on. For those of you wondering what this has to do with guns i will explain. Roosevelt's political party nearly had complete and total control over our goverment. im not saying he would have been an evil harsh dictator but that our goverment can be corrupted with no checks and balances. if that ever did happen WE the people would have our guns still and we would be able to retake our goverment.

"If only everybody around was armed, an ordinary civilian could take out a mass killer before he got too far.If that were true, then how come it never happens? "
It already has happened. Armed citizens prevented several potential tragedies from occurring in 2012. Samuel Williams came to the rescue of several patrons utilizing an internet café in Ocala, Florida. And in Garden Grove, California, a 65-year old woman sent five burglars fleeing from a jewelry store. In both cases, security cameras captured the heroic efforts of armed citizens who sent the bad guys fleeing — even tripping over themselves, as they stormed out the doors.
* Five years ago this month, Matthew Murray entered a large Colorado Springs church, armed with several weapons and a thousand rounds of ammunition. But a woman with a concealed carry permit critically wounded him, thus saving the lives of hundreds of people.
* And at a Salt Lake City mall in 2007, an off-duty police officer brought a shooting rampage to an abrupt halt. "I was in a situation that I was carrying my gun," the hero, Ken Hammond, told reporters.
In all the above cases, where citizens were able to stop evil, the good guys were carrying guns. There was no time to run to their cars. There was no time to run home.
The lesson is clear: good guys with guns save lives. And while bad guys may be evil, they are not stupid. They don't typically target gun stores or police stations to perpetrate their crimes. No, they consciously select areas where their victims are disarmed by law.
Sun, 2012-12-16 13:17
Unfortunately you left-out several truths in both the cases you listed above:
1) Jeanne Assam, the woman who wounded Matthew Murray was a former police officer who was a hired armed security guard for the church.
2) Ken Hammond exchanged shots with Talovic in Trolley Square, but did not take him out. Not a single shot fired by Hammond ever hit Talovic. A SWAT team killed him in a hail of gunfire in which Hammond and another on-duty, uniformed police officer were almost shot in the SWAT team's crossfire.
In both cases the defenders were trained police officers who handle guns every single day in their career and re-certify their shooting skills and gun handling capabilities on a regular basis. They are also trained in the mindset required for extreme situations like this. They practice facing armed opponents in drills and exercises on a regular basis. In other words, they were doing the job they were trained to do. Regular ol' Joe Citizen with two hours in a class for a concealed carry permit does not have this. They have neither the training or the presence of mind in such a high stress situation to confront a shooter and live to tell the tale or not hurt everyone BUT the shooter when they draw their gun.

Actually yes, that is right, Fort Hood. The off-duty soldiers that Hassan killed, were by law not armed. According to the rules of the base, off duty soldiers are not allowed to carry their weapons, army-issued or personal weapons. So, the soldiers murdered were, by law in a 'gun-free zone' and helpless against Nidal Hasan. Your example proves the opposite point you intended.
Sat, 2012-12-15 19:11
The Soviet Union was a giant gun free zone. Cambodia was a gun free zone. Communist China is a gun free zone. and NAZI Germany was a gun free zone. Was anyone safe? No, they were not. Over 100 million were murdered by tyrannical rulers when the people were disarmed.
Mon, 2012-12-17 14:08
Are you safe? Do you really believe that if Barack Obama or some other president wanted to become a despot, he could? If so, do you really think you could revolt against a government that spends more in one year on the military than the rest of the world combined? You and your AR-15 aren't going to get taken out by a drone or just "disappeared" quietly in the night?
If you think the United States could turn in to a fascist, communist or despotic state then you can't honestly believe you would have any power to stop it, even with a pistol.

A 16-year-old East Hampton resident was allegedly beaten and then stabbed in the back with a knife last Sunday, October 16, Southampton Town Police report. He was taken to Southampton Hospital that day, where he was treated for his injuries and released. Police confirm that he is now in stable condition.
The teenager had allegedly attended a house party at a residence near Scuttle Hole Road in Bridgehampton, police say, and was reportedly on his way back to his car with friends when he was involved with a confrontation with an unknown group of people.
"They got jumped," said Detective Sergeant Lisa Costa of the incident. She could not confirm the exact number of people involved, but indicated that "there were several people."
According to the young man's testimony, the altercation began when he reportedly observed "a black male" allegedly "hitting on" his female friend. When he attempted to intervene, the 16-year-old reported that he was struck in the face. According to his testimony, he only realized the extent of his injuries when he woke up later in his friend's car while en route to Southampton Hospital. It was then that he discovered he had a stab wound to his lower back and contusions on his face near his left eye.
As of press time, Sgt. Costa said the Southampton Town police force is still unsure of who the perpetrators might be, but she put to rest rumors that the attackers had come from the Shinnecock Reservation.
"Absolutely not," she stated. "We have absolutely no idea who they are."
She replied in a follow-up email just before press time that the detective department is currently working on several leads, but there is "nothing tangible to date."
Because this investigation is ongoing, the Southampton Town Detective Division is asking for anyone with information on the incident to contact the department at 702-2230, or email email@example.com. They ensure all calls will be kept confidential.

health care agent is a person you choose in advance to
make health care decisions for you in the event that you become unable to do
so. A health care agent can help make medical decisions on your behalf at the
end of life or any other time you are not able to communicate, such as if you
are severely injured in an accident. A health care agent also may be called a
health care proxy or surrogate or an attorney-in-fact.
State laws
vary regarding the specific types of decisions health care agents can make.
In general, a health care agent can agree to or refuse treatment and can
withdraw treatment on your behalf. Your health care agent can use the
information in your
living will (also called a treatment directive),
statements made by you in the past, and what he or she knows about you
personally to make these decisions. For example, your agent can consent to
surgery, refuse to have you placed on life-support machines, or request that
you be taken off life support.
someone you trust. Your agent needs to be willing and able to make potentially
difficult decisions about medical treatment for you. Discuss your desires,
values, fears, and preferences about medical care in various situations. The
more your agent knows about you and your values, the more likely he or she will
be to make the kinds of decisions you would make if you were able.
Where can I get the form I need to name my health care agent?
A legal form, usually called a
medical power of attorney (but it may be called by other names in some states),
is used for documenting your choice of a health care agent. This form is
usually available through your state's bar association or office for the aging. Law offices and hospitals also have these forms or can direct
you to where to find them. You can also get copies of the forms for your state
from Caring Connections at its website or by phone: www.caringinfo.org
or 1-800-658-8898.
You must sign the form to make it
valid. Some states require the form to be notarized (witnessed by a notary
public) and signed by at least two witnesses. A medical power of attorney and a
living will are types of
advance directives. Be sure to tell your family
members and doctors whom you have selected as your health care agent.
By appointing a health care agent, you are clearly stating
who has the authority to make health decisions on your behalf. If you do not
have a health care agent or a living will, your family members may disagree
about the type of medical care you should receive if you are ever in a
situation where you cannot communicate. Depending on the state in which you
live, decisions about your medical care may be made by doctors, hospital
administrators, or judges. Completing a living will and choosing a health care
agent can help your family and friends make decisions during a stressful time.

Morning Report: Anderson Silva's manager talks Weidman; Dan Henderson a 2-to-1 underdog to Machida - MMA Fighting
If UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo does indeed make a move to lightweight, current interim bantamweight champ Renan Barao (29-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) could also move up a division.
"I feel very good in this weight division, but I feel in two or three years, if Aldo decides to move up a weight division, I might do that, too," Barao recently told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps).
The 5-foot-7 Barao, best known for his incredible 29-fight win streak, actually debuted for the WEC in June 2010 in a 142-pound catchweight bout. That mark was requested by his opponent, Anthony Leone, who took the fight on short notice. His five fights since have all been at 135 pounds.
But before his time under the Zuffa banner, Barao competed at 145 pounds, and he admits he wouldn't mind doing it again someday in the future.
"I used to fight at 66 kilos (145 pounds), but when we closed the deal with the WEC, our trainer decided that I needed to fight at bantamweight because I would never be champion since Aldo had been there forever," Barao said. "He wanted another champion on the team."
That decision worked out for the best, as Aldo has been a Zuffa champion since 2009. Meanwhile, Barao in 2012 claimed the UFC's interim bantamweight title with a decision win over Urijah Faber.
Of course, a potential move to 145 pounds is completely dependent on Aldo someday making a long-discussed moved to lightweight. The two Nova Uniao fighters are primary training partners and have no desire to ever meet in the cage.
Still, just as Aldo is tiring of cutting to 145 pounds, Barao also says 10 pounds less to cut would be a welcome change.
"Actually, I'm naturally the same weight as Aldo, but I cut more to make weight," Barao said. "I think I would suffer a lot less. I sacrifice a lot by cutting. I'd be able to eat a little better and relax a little more.
"I think the weight cut is what makes me most nervous going into a fight. I get very neurotic. I would be much more relaxed."

"Supporters also argue that not collecting the levies is a competitive disadvantage for retail stores, which must collect local sales taxes."
Most retail stores already don't have squat for a selection in them anyway.
Even at those local, retail stores, you almost have to go to their website, to find any choices!

Goodbye American business.
Posted 23 March 2013 - 02:16
uh why? you are still going to buy stuff
online retailers have an unfair advantage over local shops, no tax, even though you are SUPOSE to pay the tax to your state (yes you still legally have to report an untaxed out of state purchase in state taxes)..
too many local stores shut down because they can't compete with no tax (not because it cost less, but too many people having a psychological impact that "oh im not paying that here ill buy there then")... heck states are losing that money too, hence why a lot of them are going broke, people paying less and less into sales tax
Posted 23 March 2013 - 02:28
it isn't an unfair advantage it is just smart business. why isn't it? because these businesses should be ashamed of good business decisions for their business? Sounds alot like a certain president who says that businesses are mean ol' nasty codgers and they didn't build that.
truth is, why is this a problem that we must now tax online retail? the answer is, there was NEVER a problem and never was a tax nor was the issue ever brought up that memory serves from day 1 of the internet.. well maybe one time but it was quickly squashed. Point being; politicians and municipalities have mismanaged their funds for so long and are so greedy to fill the sucking void of poor stewardship that they are NOW wanting to kill even more businesses because they are complete ****heads. ok.. went back to reread the OP and the senate primarily Democrats with some GOP sponsors are pushing for this to "give local businesses a fighting chance." I call BS! The federal government has shackled businesses for so long about with business killing or anti business regulations that cost businesses too much to operate that, the big boys have the ability to leave the country and reap profits. Hell, Obama sent jeep to China after the election(remember that in the debate with Romney?)
proof: http://www.redstate....uring-to-china/ and: http://washingtonexa...article/2511703
aside from the lies we were told that it wasn't going to happen???? huh??? Jeep/Chrysler, which is part of Daimler chrysler, can now make fat profits on cheap China labor.
can anyone refute this? no- thank you be sure to tip your waiteress

Mostly because it's practically impossible to figure out how much "use tax" you're supposed to pay at the end of the year anyway. First of all, who keeps track of every purchase they make? Of those who do keep track, do you keep track of what each ITEM is? The sales tax laws are all over the board. In Minnesota, for example, there's no sales tax on clothing. No sales tax on food. But prepared food is taxed, as are some things that are food but not classified as food by the state. In addition, taxes vary based on location. If there were only 50 sales tax laws, great, but there's not. How are you supposed to figure out what you really owe? It's ridiculous.
somehow everyone thinks we don't need to pay tax on the internet, when really everyone is breaking tax law by not paying it and not reporting it on state taxes..... states are finally starting to realize this is a problem and that people won't tell the truth and report out of state purchases in the use tax section of state taxes...

By Claire Walla
On Tuesday, October 25 the Southampton Town GOP filed a claim against Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst and Councilwoman Bridget Fleming, alleging the board members violated the town's code of ethics. Both women are up for re-election along with the newest member of their political team, Brad Bender, who is running for a second available council seat.
The GOP takes issue with scenes in a campaign video put out by the candidates, called "The Southampton Project," which were filmed within Town Hall. According to Southampton Town GOP Chair William Wright, the scenes violate the ethics code because they make use of town property and feature a town employee (Throne-Holst's assistant Jennifer Garvey, who speaks on the phone to the supervisor) for campaign purposes.
"This is not about whether I think the video is good or not, it violated town code," Wright reiterated. "I know the other side says we're grasping at straws, here … but we're playing by the rules. They should be too."
In an interview on Wednesday, Throne-Holst said the GOP claim is "baseless."
"We were not filmed campaigning at town hall, or doing any sort of campaign work in the video," she explained.
Southampton Democratic Committee Chair echoed Throne-Holst's sentiments and downplayed the GOP's claim.
"It's pretty petty," said Gordon Herr. "Anyway, the video's already out there. It's viral. [News of this claim] is probably going to make more people want to watch it."
According to Southampton Town Attorney Tiffany Scarlato, all four members of the town's ethics board have been notified of the complaint. Scarlato could not speak to the suit, saying only that it's in the hands of the ethics board, which has full authority to decide the case and determine what potential repercussions might be appropriate, should Throne-Holst and Fleming's video be determined unethical.
Fleming is a Democrat. Throne-Holst is a member of the Independence Party as is Bender — both are also running on the Democratic Party Line.

After months and months of talk Haley Barbour decided yesterday he wasn't going to aim for the presidency. Leaving the the New York Times to wonder why this could be, and concludes, between the lines, that Obama is somewhat unbeatable (something echoed in the articles comments).
They offer a who's who of people that turned down a shot at challenging Obama...or as I call it, the "GOP Owl Call"
John Thune (who?)
Mike Pence (who?)
Bob Corker (WHO?!?)
I do actually know who those three are, but most people don't.
They round off the list with Chris Christie, who isn't even halfway done with his first term as New Jersey's governor, and Jeb Bush who for everyone would end up being a big "Who? Oh HELL NO!"
I know Jeb has his fans, but it's just impossible to sell YET ANOTHER Bush to the country. Sorry. Nobody will care if Jeb is like a shiny state-of-the-art Blu-ray disc, everyone is still pissed that his brother turned out to be a useless LaserDisc throwback.
Truth be told there will be Republican's who want to challenge Obama, and there's A LOT to challenge. His signature initiatives have been disaterous failures for the country, and the Democratic party especially.
It seems to me that the trick is not just to have the right message, but to have a message period. President DingleBarry won in 2008 for being nothing more than a media tingle-fairy. His numbers suck because people are figuring that out. So I think even having a modicum of substance and a base willing to shout it from the rooftops to the voters residing in the middle could overcome Obama's expected billion-dollar war chest.
There is no doubt the media is in overdrive trying to rehabilitate Obama's public perception...they should work on their subtlety a little more...

Will there be 40+ more sensors available for the NXT soon?
Vernier Software and Technology has been working with the LEGO NXT and their Vernier sensors for months. They are working on a prototype of an adapter that would allow the NXT to work with 40 of their analog sensors. Software blocks that would be used with the sensors and adapter are also being produced. Vernier hopes to have the adapter commercially available early this year.
There are videos of 8 different NXT projects here. I like the "Leveler" (pictured here) that uses a Vernier Low-G Accelerometer as a tilt sensor. This simple robot can carry a cup across uneven terrain without spilling it.
Which is your favorite - and how would you use it?
10 comments:
- Dmytro said...
Looking at their sensor prices (cheapest accelerometer goes for $99, many other sensors are in $200-$500 range)
I wonder how many of these they think they'll sell?
- Mar 17, 2007, 12:24:00 AM
wayyyyyyyy to much but i would buy that temperature nxt style sensor for50 below but i would just buy a tilt sensor 50$ to do that cup balance thing

- 222Doc said...
it would seem they need to look at the competition of the market, hytechnic and mindsensors are selling for under 50$ for most things, though when the motor mux/ sensor mux i would think will be over 50 under 100$ from hytechnic. perhaps they are looking at the university market they have the big bucks.
- Mar 17, 2007, 4:13:00 AM

I didn't look at the whole list of sensors, but most that I did look at were under $100. Here is a sampling:
Charge Sensor - $69
Voltage Probe - $11
Current Probe - $37
Blood Pressure Sensor - $99
Conductivity Probe - $92
pH Sensor - $78
Stainless Steel Temp Probe - $29
Granted, it would be nice if they were all under $50 - but at least this is a source of additional sensors to choose from.
Regardless of price, what would you build or what investigation would you conduct with these if you had them?
- Mar 17, 2007, 7:36:00 AM
Magnetic Field Sensor looks cool off hand. its not to bad at 50+. take th nxt to Bermuda triangle or look for them mini black holes i was watch on the history channel.

Hi 222doc,
I like the idea of sending the NXT out to look for the mini black holes - maybe we can combine it with the autopilot from earlier in the week and make a UAV that looks for the mini black holes!

- Andy said...
Awsome idea! LOL ;P
Hehe, good combination though! I like the temperature probe :D Only 29 bucks too! I wantt that. If it is analog and uses only 2 wires it should be easy to connect to a RCX/NXT. But I think the reason they make the adepter is because of the resistance in voltage in the wires and things like that.
- Mar 18, 2007, 1:30:00 AM

the voltage and the current probe will work nice as a team because i studied electronics in fourth grade QUEST and voltage/current = resistance so you dont have to buy the conductivity prove for 100 if i had the blood preasure probe i would a robot to measure the blood preasure of someone if its too high or too low it would dial 911 because i can make a robot to dial in numbers but... the blood preasure probe is tooooooooooooooo much =(

Her braided blond hair is topped with a wide-brimmed sun hat with blue ribbon and a red flower.
