M9 Issue - Entering Loop Mode Randomly
Like (0)
Line 6,
Up until now, my M9 has been great. But recently it will randomly enter loop mode in the middle of a gig/session/rehearal. I captured the problem on camera for you to better understand the issue. In this case, it occured right after tapping in a tempo for a delay (this is when it happens most often) but it has also happened other times wihtout me touching the tap pedal at all. The metal switch seems to be working fine (not getting stuck down) so that leaves me thinking it may be a software issue or an internal harware issue. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
Devan Bumstead
Have you tried a factory reset on the M13?
Press and hold Looper Controls to enter the setup menu. In FX UNIT 4, turn the Model Select knob until the corresponding display shows RST FACT. Press down on the Model Select knob twice to complete the reset.
Line 6 Customer Support
Ahhh, except that I have a M9, not a M13 so I don't have a FX4....I'll look up how to do a system restart on the M9 and try that.
Nope, a factory reset and a flash memory reset did not fix the issue...so is it possibly an issue with the switch internally?
Re-installing the flash memory was my next recommendation, but if that did not work, it will need to go to an authorized service center as it seems there is a hardware problem with the M9.
That's what I figured. There's a service center by me so I'll pursue that route. For anyone else having this issue, I'll report back after I get it serviced and let you know what the source of the issue was.
Line 6,
First off, my issue has not been resolved. Secondly, since I cannot contact any listed service center in my area, I requested an RMA form from you on Tuesday (10/18/10) but have not yet heard a response. When should I expect to be contacted?
I was able to find a local authorised L6 service tech in my area (Mars Amp Repair, Englewood, Colorado http://www.marsamprepair.com/) and gave them my M9 to repair. I finally got my pedal back after a TWO MONTH wait, and as it turns out, the problem DID NOT GET SOLVED!!! I really don't want to go back to that tech because I can't afford to wait another 2 months for them not to solve the problem again!
They replaced all 7 lightpipes and the main circuit board but clearly the problem was something else. Needless to say, the thing that ticks me off the most is that they clearly didn't spend any amount of time testing the pedal after they replaced the parts because the issue occurred within 5 minutes of me turning on the pedal.
WHAT DO I DO NOW? My 1 year warranty will expire in January and I NEED to get it taken care of before then.
If you reported the problem, had it serviced under the warranty and it didn't get fixed before the warranty ran out, they oughta, really oughta honor the warranty for that one issue. I can't believe Line 6 would say, 'it didn't get fixed before the warranty ran out, you're outta luck.'
I've had the same problem happen on gigs. I reported it months ago but Line 6 suggested it was user error.
Finally, the issue is solved. After sending it to an authorised L6 tech in my area and getting it back UNrepaired, I got L6 to agree to take a look at it. They were able to fix the problem by replacing the tap tempo switch...easy as that I guess. The nightmare is over and my M9 works as it should again. Thanks!
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Excellent for the price!
Had replace tuners on a gibson grabber project. These worked good.
Even though there has been good reviews, I still expected they'd still be a cheap and somewhat low-quality tuner, but they are very nice. I've been using them for a solid month now and my tuning-stabilty has been great. There's been no slop in the gears and I like the adjustable-tension feature. They also look almost identical to the factory Fender tuners I replaced. The only possible way they could be any better is if the mounting holes were to match the Fender-patter.
These are great tuners. A perfect fit for my Sting Ray Musicman bass.
Good quality for a reasonable price.
Became a general in a Jazz Bass Fender.
They work great. The holes do not line up exactly with F**der, but for a good price replacement, they're super smooth and stay in tune. I have them on 2 of my basses... they work great. Nice thick chrome too!
I just purchased an Epiphone EBO which came with loosey-goosey tuning machines (what would you expect for a $200 bass guitar). These tight tuners fit in perfectly without any cutting, drilling or filing. Now this extremely fast necked bass stays in tune all night long. Well, worth the price.
These seem to be identical to the tuners used by G&L and also by Sandberg. They are fantastic quality and would even be good value at twice the price!!! I also like the adjustable tension feature.

Dental health takes a big leap forward when a Connecticut dentist named Washington Sheffield comes up with the idea of putting toothpaste in a collapsible metal tube. While daily tooth brushing was not common—particularly in the U.S.—those who did often shared a jar of toothpaste into which family members all dipped their brushes. Sheffield had always thought this was both wasteful and unhygienic and had followed up on a suggestion from his son, who, while studying in Paris, had watched artists squeezing paint from tubes.

First, the box is very heavy! You will definitely need two adults to get the packaging/box open and to put this thing together. It comes in many pieces, but I think we were able to put it together in just over 3 hours without much arguing or sweating. Both side doors were distorted, color-wise, but after a quick chat with customer service, they sent replacement doors right away. The drawer face is scratched fairly badly, but we'll live with it. Also, the front side to the piece that the TV sits on is cracked. I don't think this hurts the structural integrity of the stand, so we're also choosing to live with that instead of having to take the entire thing apart to add a replacement top piece. In addition to being scratched, the drawer itself is odd - there are slider tracks that we had to install on the side walls of the cabinet compartment for the drawer to slide in, but the drawer sides themselves did not come with holes to add slides or rolling tracks to the drawer...so the drawer just sort of sits in a cubbie hole of sorts. It's a fairly stable stand once it is put together, but it is definitely not high quality. Unfortunately, we'll likely end up replacing it in a few years.
I was disappointed right after we unpacked the box of what seemed like was 100 pieces. Several pieces of the wood were chipped. It was extremely difficult to put together. It took me 3 half days to put together and I have put a whole lot of things together over the years, but never anything this hard. The directions were not as specific as they should have been...I follow them exactly, but there were many important things left out of the directions. Im very disappointed. The weekend after we received and put together, the Target ad had almost the same thing for about half the price!
After we had unpacked much of the heavy pky, we saw that the color/finish on many of the parts had been smudged off. That's the only way I know how to describe it. Like the stain had not been applied properly or allowed to dry....or something. We thot it was dust at first and would wipe off. There was also a visible scratch on the front piece. So of course it had to go back, and I did not take a chance on ordering another one. Once more Overstock came through in customer service. Made the return easy and paid for everything. I LOVE OVERSTOCK.com (just not this particular piece of furniture).
Overall the piece was easy to put together and looks nice. The quality of the finish is poor and it's not a solid piece of furniture. If I saw this at a store in person I wouldn't have purchased it. However, for the price it isn't all that bad.
Once the package was opened I noticed a lot of scratches on the material and a lot of the corners were chipped and pealing apart. It's nothing horrible but it does not feel like it's brand new.
for the price i paid its of that quality and it fits my look and style
This is not a heavy duty piece, however it met our needs, and it looks nice.
The stand looks exactly like the pictures. It was the size I was looking for and the style fit my decor. Maybe I didn't read the measurements correctly but it is not very wide at all. That's not necessarily a bad thing to me, though .It arrived in a beat up box and only had a small chip that I easily fixed and it ended up in the back anyway. I had a hard time getting the drawer in like the directions said but I finally figured it out. I love the sliding doors. It adds an element of uniqueness that I enjoy. I wouldn't put anything wet on top of it cause the color is just a veneer and looks like it would warp. Overall I was satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to a friend.
I purchased this as a short term investment. I needed furniture for a 2 year period. The negative reviews for this product must have been written by monkeys who don't know how to follow instructions or use a screwdriver. This stand is STURDY, UNSCRATCHED and WELL PUT TOGETHER. I wish there were holes behind the small shelves on the left and right so I could stack gaming systems in there, but that is a minor detail and I will carve a hole in the backboard if necessary. The actual top of the stand which holds the TV is about 10 lbs and is supported so well I am not afraid to use the stand as a step stool if needed (110 lbs). There were a lot of steps and instructions but it was extremely straight-forward and easy to do. Took about 2 hours. Definitely recommend this.
I was hesitant to purchase this product based on previous customer reviews but boy am I glad I did! Everyone compliments it, it looks expensive and beautiful in our living room, and it was NOT "extremely difficult" to assemble like some people are saying - follow the directions and you'll be fine. Expect to put a little time into it! It's heavy because the quality is nice. I would absolutely purchase this product again. The ONLY issue was a tiny chip on 1 corner of the wood, but I just colored over it with a sharpie and it looks perfect.

Java6 added a new utility class for reading input data from character
based devices including command line. java.io.Console can be used to read input from command line, but unfortunately it doesn't work on most of IDE like Eclipse and
Netbeans. As per Javadoc call to System.Console() will return attached console to JVM, if it has been started interactive command prompt or it will return null if JVM has been started using a background process or
scheduler job. Anyway java.io.Console not only provides way to read input
from command prompt or Console but also reading passwords from console without echoing
it. Console.readPassword() method reads password and returns a character
array and password is masked during entering so that any peeping tom can
not see your password while you are entering it. here is a code example
of How to read password and input from command prompt or console using java.io.Console. By the way apart from Console, you can also use Scanner or BufferedReader to read input from command prompt, as shown in this example.

10 Frequently asked SQL Query Interview Questions
In this article I am giving example of some SQL query which is asked when
you go for interview who is having one or two year experience on this field
.whenever you go for java developer position or any other programmer position
interviewee expect that if you are working from one or two years on any project
definitely you come across to handle this database query, so they test your
skill by asking this type of simple query.
Question 1:
SQL Query to find second highest salary of Employee
Answer : There are many ways to find second highest salary of Employee in
SQL, you can either use SQL Join or Subquery to solve this problem. Here is SQL
query using Subquery :
select MAX(Salary) from Employee WHERE Salary NOT IN (select MAX(Salary) from Employee );
See How
to find second highest salary in SQL for more ways to solve this problem.
2: SQL Query to find Max Salary from each department.
Answer :
SELECT DeptID, MAX(Salary) FROM Employee GROUP BY DeptID.
3:Write SQL Query to display current date.
Ans:SQL has built in function
called GetDate() which returns current timestamp.
SELECT GetDate();
4:Write an SQL Query to check whether date passed to Query is date of given
format or not.
Ans: SQL has IsDate() function which is used to check passed value is
date or not of specified format ,it returns 1(true) or 0(false) accordingly.
It will return 0 because passed date is not in correct format.
5: Write a SQL Query to print the name of distinct employee whose DOB is
between 01/01/1960 to 31/12/1975.
SELECT DISTINCT EmpName FROM Employees WHERE DOB BETWEEN '01/01/1960' AND '31/12/1975';
6:Write an SQL Query find number of employees according to gender whose DOB is between 01/01/1960 to
Answer : SELECT COUNT(*), sex from Employees
AND '31/12/1975' GROUP BY sex;
7:Write an SQL Query to find employee whose Salary is equal or greater than
Answer : SELECT EmpName FROM Employees
WHERE Salary>=10000;
8:Write an SQL Query to find name of employee whose name Start with 'M'
Ans: SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE EmpName like 'M%';
9: find all Employee records containing the word "Joe", regardless of
whether it was stored as JOE, Joe, or joe.
Answer : SELECT * from Employees WHERE upper(EmpName) like
10: Write a SQL Query to find year from
Answer : SELECT YEAR(GETDATE()) as "Year";
Hope this article will help you to take a quick practice whenever you are
going to attend any interview and not have much time to go into the deep of
each query.

An Example of Overriding Equals, HashCode and CompareTo method in Java
Though modern IDE like Eclipse, IntelliJ or Netbeans allows you to
generate equals, hashCode and compareTo methods for your value classes, it's
equally important, you know how to do that by hand. By overriding
equals and hashcode method by yourself, you know how they work, what kind
of errors you can get, and most importantly, it's expected form you, as a Java
programmer in any core
Java interview. More often, you would see a coding question in Java, which
ask you to override equals(), hashcode(), compare() and compareTo() methods
for a value class. Since I have already shared some tips on How
to override compareTo method in Java, and couple of example of writing
your own comparator in Java, here I am sharing another simple example of
overriding equals and hashCode methods. If you know rules of overriding equals and hashCode, you might
know that, whenever you override equals, you must have to override hashCode,
otherwise your object will not behave properly on various collection classes
e.g. Map
or Set, which uses equals, compareTo, hashCode to
implement there invariants e.g. Set implementations should not allow any

How to Split String in Java with Example using Regular Expression
String class provides split() method to split String in
Java, based upon any delimiter, e.g. comma, colon, space or any arbitrary
method. split() method splits string based on
delimiter provided, and return a String
array, which contains individual Strings. Actually, split() method
takes a regular
expression, which in simplest case can be a single word. split() is also overloaded
method in java.lang.String class and its overloaded version
takes a limit parameter which is used to control how many times pattern will be
applied during splitting process. if this limit is positive n, then pattern
will be applied at most n-1 times, if it's negative or zero than split
operation is applied any number of time. For example, if we split String "First,Second,Third" on comma
and provide limit as 2 then pattern will run one time, and split() will
return String array with 2 Strings, "First" and "Second,Third". Since this
method accepts a Java regular expression, it throws PatternSyntaxException, if syntax
of regular expression is invalid.

How to replace String in Java - character substring replaceAll example
String class in Java provides several methods to replace characters, CharSequence and substring from String in Java. Since String
is immutable in Java, every time you performance an operation on String
either replacement or removing
white space from String, it generates a new String object. There are four
overloaded method to replace String in Java :
replace(char oldChar, char newChar)
replace(CharSequence target, CharSequence
replaceAll(String regex, String replacement)
replaceFirst(String regex, String replacement)
Out of these, 2nd one which takes a CharSequence is added
on Java 1.5. CharSequence is actually a super interface for
StringBuffer and StringBuilder in Java, which means you can pass any of String, StringBuffer or StringBuilder Object as
argument to this replace method. replaceFirst() and replaceAll() are very
powerful and accepts regular expression. replaceFirst() only
replace first match, while replaceAll replaces
all matches with replacement String provided.

Difference between wait vs notify vs notifyAll in Java
wait, notify, and notifyAll methods are used for inter thread
communication in Java. wait() allows a thread to check for a
condition, and wait if condition doesn't met, while notify() and notifyAll() method
informs waiting thread for rechecking condition, after changing state of shared
variable. One good example of how wait and notify method works is Producer
consumer problem, where one thread produces, and wait if bucket is full;
and other thread consumes and wait if bucket is empty. Both Producer and Consumer
thread, notify each other as well. Producer thread notifies consumer thread
after inserting an item in shared queue, while consumer thread notify producer,
after consuming item from queue. Though Both notify() and notifyAll() are used to notify waiting threads, waiting on
shared queue object, but there are some subtle
difference between notify and notifyAll in Java. Well, when we use notify(), only one
of the sleeping thread will get notification, while in case of notifyAll(), all
sleeping thread on that object will get notified. This concept confuses many
Java programmers, both beginners and experienced alike, Infact this is one of
three question which is very popular on wait and notify concept, along with why
wait and notify is defined in Object class and why
wait and notify called from synchronized method. In this article we will
focus on difference between wait, notify, and notifyAll method in Java.

How to convert Java String to int or Integer - valueOf vs parseInt
There are 3 main ways to convert
String to int in Java, using constructor of Integer class, parseInt() method of java.lang.Integer and Integer.valueOf() method.
Though all those method returns instance of java.lang.Integer, which is
a wrapper class for primitive int value, it's easy to convert Integer to int in
Java. From Java 5, you don't need to do anything, autoboxing
will automatically convert Integer to int. For Java 1.4 or lower version, you
can use intValue() method form java.lang.Integer class, to
convert Integer to int. As name suggest, parseInt() is the
core method to convert String to int in Java. parseInt() accept a String
which must contain decimal digits and first character can be an ASCII minus
sign (-) to denote negative integers. parseInt() throws NumberFormatException, if
provided String is not convertible to int value. By the way parseInt is an overloaded
method and it's overloaded version takes radix or base e.g. 2,8,10 or 16,
which can be used to convert binary, octal, hexadecimal String to int in Java. Integer.valueOf() is another
useful method to convert
String to Integer in Java, it offers caching of Integers from -128 to 127.
Internally, valueOf() also calls parseInt() method for String to int conversion. In this Java programming tutorial, we will see all
three ways to convert String to int value in Java.

The "Audience" Which are also the "viewers" Majority of them vote for their favorite anime/song and don't really look into another video that took part in that one category, or the other, which had a lot more feeling into the winner, or finalist. I still think if you have a popular song, you'll make it, or and win. That's just me. Seen it happen plenty of times, which kind of sucks. Can't blame the viewers to not know anything about an actually concept for an AMV. About the judges who decide what videos make it to the finals. I don't even know.
If you want your video to win because it has a lot of skill involved in the editing despite the song/anime choices, submit to online contests that are editor judged like Akross. If you want to win an audience of people who the majority don't anything about editing, then make videos using using popular songs/anime.
Moral of the story is, if you want to get praise for technical proficiency, don't ask people that don't know what to look for to look for it. That said, a well told story/well done video can always draw an audience in, so you also need to do a little evaluation to see why people did not get drawn into a particular video.

More details are available on the following website: http://www.mca2013.org/en/programme/satelite-activities/workshop-on-mathematics-of-climate-change.html.
The 17th U.S. National Congress Congress on Theoretical and Applied MechanicsThe 17th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics will be held at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center of Michigan State University from June 15-20, 2014. John Foss and Tom Pence will serve as co-chairs of this event. Technical sessions will cover a range of topics, including fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, dynamics, vibrations, controls, biomechanics, computational mechanics, applied physics, and applied mathematics. We are hopeful that our faculty colleagues will encourage their graduate students to attend the Congress. We are offering reasonably priced on-campus lodging and expect to draw students from the many universities within driving distance and beyond. These students will have an opportunity to be among their peers and to make contact with leading experts in mechanics. As a point of interest, there are 12 PhD granting universities within 250 miles of East Lansing with an additional 16 universities within 500 miles. The Congress is now accepting proposals to organize minisymposia. You may propose to organize a minisymposia by clicking here. You may view more information and stay up-to-date about the national congrees by visiting the congress website.The Congress is not yet accepting abstracts for contributed presentations. Eric Shaqfeh elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) USNC/TAM would like to congratulate committee member Eric Shaqfeh for being elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Eric has been recognized for contributions to dynamics and rheology of complex fluids, including polymeric liquids, vesicles, and fiber suspensions.
Call for Proposals to organize USNC/TAM sponsored AmeriMech SymposiaThe U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNCTAM) invites proposals for organizing AmeriMech Symposia. AmeriMech symposia are intended to promote interactions among researchers in an area of contemporary interest in the mechanics of fluids and solids. It is expected that the symposia will address topics of a specialized nature, will be small in size (about 50 participants) with minimal cost, held in an informal setting, encourage participation of young researchers, and promote interdisciplinary ideas and discussions. This format allows for in-depth discussions and close interactions between participants. Such symposia are known to help assess the state-of-the-art and chart new directions for the future. The deadline for proposal submission is April 30th; please view the flyer for more information.

Consumers recognize the health benefits of biotech foods
Study shows consumers will pay a premium for biotech foods with enhanced nutrition
Research conducted by Wallace Huffman, professor of agricultural economics at Iowa State University, shows consumers are willing to pay more for biotech foods with enhanced nutritional benefits, according to the Philippines publication Manila Bulletin.
Professor Huffman, whose study was published by the Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics (JARE), said, "What we found was when genes for enhancing the amount of antioxidants and vitamin C in fresh produce were transferred by intragenic methods, consumers are willing to pay 25 percent more than for the plain product (with no enhancements).That is a sizable increase."

Pregnancy (cont.)In this Article
What is the third trimester (week 29-week 40)?You're in the home stretch! Some of the same discomforts you had in your second trimester will continue. Plus, many women find breathing difficult and notice they have to go to the bathroom even more often. This is because the baby is getting bigger and it is putting more pressure on your organs. Don't worry, your baby is fine and these problems will lessen once you give birth. Some new body changes you might notice in the third trimester include:
As you near your due date, your cervix becomes thinner and softer (called effacing). This is a normal, natural process that helps the birth canal (vagina) to open during the birthing process. Your doctor will check your progress with a vaginal exam as you near your due date. Get excited — the final countdown has begun!

Supervised facility welcomes kids and adults to play on inflatable structures during open-house bouncing or private parties
Recommended Theme & Amusement Parks by Groupon Customers
Though the creatures on display at Dinosaur World don't need much space to roam, plenty of care has been taken to furnish them a comfortable habitat. They peer imposingly from the hillsides of Kentucky, crane their necks up through native trees, and stomp through prairie fields. Although a life-size mammoth or T. rex might be hard to miss, little visitors might still jump with delight at noticing a baby dino suddenly appear from behind a bush. Giant brachiosaurus necks arch high above treetops, while toothy meat-eaters and spiny stegosauruses roam the world below. The fiberglass, steel, and concrete models reach up to 80 feet in length, and are built according to the latest scientific discoveries about what dinosaurs looked like and what styles were trendy in the Mesozoic era.
The first Dinosaur World location was a former alligator farm in Florida and five years later another one was opened in Kentucky. As Swedish-born Christer Svensson began to fill it with statues, he consulted with experts around the world to not only create realistic reptiles but to surround them with fun, educational activities. Kids can sift through sand to find shark's teeth, gastropod shells, and trilobites in a fossil dig, get to know some lizards a little better on the playground, or examine ancient eggs and raptor claws in the museum.
Monkey Joe's inflatable play center entertains kids aged 2–12 with a soft, yielding landscape of bouncy slides and jumps. Although you won't find any textbooks, the indoor fun zone helps develop young minds with activities that encourage problem solving via games, climbing walls, and an obstacle course. A separate Mini Monkey Zone designed for tykes aged 3 and younger stations toddler-friendly toys and games on a soft landing area.
As children play and learn, Monkey Joe—the eponymous purple primate—circulates throughout both play areas, slapping fur-covered high-fives and teaching children to say "hello" in both gorilla and chimpanzee. Meanwhile, an adult area succors caregivers (who get in free) with flat-screen TVs and free WiFi as kids gambol across the well-lit, sanitized play areas overseen by trained staffers.
Families and friends romp in playful competition through Cedar Creek Sports Center's 16.5 acres of activities. Two 18-hole putt-putt courses give miniature linksmen room to roam, and the 12-acre driving range provides a scenic exile for underperforming golf balls. Karts roar around the hairpin turns and speedy straightaways of the 1,100-foot go-kart track and bumper boats build up ramming speed while spraying each other with aqua artillery. Prepare for invasions of giant locusts by swatting away at one of 10 fully automatic ABC pitching machines, which hurtle softballs or baseballs at a choice of sphere-slinging speeds.
Cedar Creek Sports Center helps sportsmen find their stride on the fairways or between the base-paths with baseball and golf lessons. At the indoor game room, guests can determine who has the better hand-eye-coordination in air hockey or hoop shot stations, or settle longstanding arguments about who has a brighter career path as a heavy machine operator while using a tiny crane to snatch prizes.
Dedicated to granting kids a safe, fun play space where even tumbles result in laughter, Monkey Joe's goes out of its way to foster a friendly environment for all guests. Throughout the day, the eagle-eyed staff—in adherence with a rigorous Safety Access Child Control System—oversees kids at play on the inflatable slides, obstacle courses, and climbing walls that dapple the indoor play area, with video monitoring on hand for further peace of mind. The main play area fields the bounces of youthful guests aged 12 and younger, and the Mini Monkey Zone's games and puzzles afford toddlers a chance to escape the world of older kids and their prealgebra jokes for a recreational haven of their own.
In addition to walk-in play, a bustling party zone facilitates gravity-defying birthday celebrations tended to by cheery staff. As their progeny run and jump, parents can retreat to the tranquil confines of the adult lounge with a computer station, comfortable chairs, and flat-screen TVs. Even after the ebullient crowds of tots have cleared the premises, the staff remains committed to children's well being as they scour every inch of the inflatable equipment with sanitizing cleaners that evict common germs trying to nap in the cloud-like nooks and crannies.
Monkey Joe's immerses kids aged 2–12 in a cushy world filled with bright yellows, reds, and greens. Amid the air-filled structures, kids enliven imaginations and burn off pent-up energy by scaling walls, cascading down slides, and drafting the blueprints for their parent's new inflatable summer home. During breaks in the action, they can also hit the arcade to try their hand at air hockey and other prize-redemption games.
Parents can head to the lounge to sip a rich cup of coffee, surf the 'net, and watch TV, confident that their little ones are under staff supervision. The friendly Monkey Joe's crew can also entertain groups in a private suite.
Monkey Joe's namesake, a fuzzy purple monkey, emigrated from Coco-nutty Island to the play center, where he occasionally pops out to delight bouncing children. The young visitors play on his center's wall-to-wall inflatable slides, jumps, and obstacle courses, while trained staffers ensure that everyone plays safely and avoids confusing their playmates with bouncy balls. Although the center as a whole welcomes youngsters 12 and younger, a Mini Monkey Zone hosts play structures appropriate for toddlers 3 and younger. Parents chaperoning their kids can join the fun or retire to the adult area to check email at computer stations with high-speed Internet or watch flat-screen TVs. The center welcomes walk-ins, but families can also bring along cakes and celebrate youngsters' birthdays with hassle-free party packages.

Editorial Guidelines
To produce quality publications that successfully represent an institution, consistency is essential. Printed materials from Eastern New Mexico University should speak with one voice, presenting messages in a clear and distinctive manner. This unified treatment of the mechanics of writing is referred to as style.
Eastern New Mexico University has established its editorial style based on The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual and The MLA Style Manual and in consultation with English faculty. Editors also consult Webster's New World College Dictionary, reference dictionary for the Associated Press. While these resources provide a basis for stylistic decisions, variations from these established policies occasionally occur.

Semicolons may be used to connect closely related independent clauses not joined by coordinating conjunctions: I have ordered the book you requested; we no longer have it in stock.
Semicolons may be used to separate a series of items that require internal commas:
- He traveled to Austin, Texas; Baltimore, Md.; Norman, Okla.; Phoenix, Ariz.; and South Bend, Ind.
Spell out the names of states when they stand alone in text. When preceded by a city, the names of 42 states should be abbreviated. The two states that are not part of the continental United States, Hawaii and Alaska, and the continental states that have five letters or fewer—Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Ohio, Texas and Utah—should not be abbreviated. If the state name falls at the end of a sentence, you may spell it out to avoid awkward sentence construction.
- Sherrie, a native of Gary, Ind., moved to Portales last year.
- Sherrie is originally from Gary, Indiana.
A comma should follow the name of a state when preceded by a city.
- The Portales, N.M., contingent traveled to Washington, D.C.

When showing time span and both times are in the morning or both are in the afternoon, the first item should not have the a.m. or p.m. label. When the span is a.m. to p.m. or vice versa, both times should have the a.m. or p.m. label.
- She is working 9–10 a.m.
- She is working 9:30 p.m.–2:30 a.m.
When referring to the times 12 p.m. or 12 a.m., they should be referred to as noon or midnight, respectively.
Titles (See also "Capitalization" entry)
In general, underline or italicize the titles of works published independently and use quotation marks for the titles of works published within larger works.
Use full names preceded by an earned title such as Dr., the Rev. or Lt.
Col. in first references only. Do not use a courtesy title such as Mr., Miss or Ms. Use the last name only in subsequent references unless a title is necessary to identify persons with the same last name.

I couldn't reach my regular upholsterer after several tries so I give the other upholstery place close by a chance to impress me with their work and the DR chair bottoms are back. While I'm not extremely impressed with their welting abilities, they did a great job with replacing the foam and sculpting it to the profile of the chair, so I won't complain. Sure looks a lot nicer than the flat cushioned, worn out gold velvet they replaced! Here's the set before reupholstering. (Gotta have a point of reference ya know.) Christie | |||
The finished chairs. It's interesting to note the difference in the two sets of seats. The gold moved the gold from the painting frames from one side of the room to the other. While I liked that effect, I wanted something other than gold of the seats. The new fabric is a more subtle result. I like it, too. Christie | ||||
The jury was and may still be out on the combination of the DR rug that is heavy in purple and pastels. Up close, the combination seems to have problems, but when viewing the room from other rooms, the similarity in colors and the clarity of pattern fades and the combination isn't disturbing at all. The only problem I'm really having is that I want to redo the painted chairs. I did some of them at the same time, a few at a slightly later date, and the arm chairs several years later. The paint mix ratios were different so a few of them are obviously different. I'd like to improve on that. Overall, I think the finished chairs look great! Christie | ||||
Very pretty! | ||||
Love, love, love! | ||||
They look great! It's funny how some fabrics look completely different from a normal viewing angle than they do if you look at them up close. The eye tends to blur some colors together in certain patterns and lighting and fabric sheen can affect the way colors appear in a room. | ||||
I think they look lovely! Maine Lady | ||||
Love it. The rug was one of the things I noticed and I love it, too. The sum is greater than the parts. | ||||
Hi Christie. The new covers look great! But was there some reason that you had to go with welting? Are these cushions or upholstered seats? If you are not happy with the welting do you think it could be because the upholsterer did not cut the welting fabric on the bias? | ||||
Christie, I have always loved the palette in that room w/ the walls and rug. Sherbert-lious!!! The redone chairs look right at home. Enjoy! | ||||
Isn't it grand to have furniture updated and fresh and clean? AND no work for you! They came out nice! Mary Ruth *****We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are! ***** (Anaias Nin)***** http://pinterest.com/mary_ruth/ | ||||
They look pretty with the new fabric. Nice re-do. Have fun if you decide to paint them. ~Like sands through the hourglass ~So are the days of our lives | ||||
Very nice Christie! The upholstery fabric really suits the style of the chairs. Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||

Ten serious sci-fi films for the sentient fan
In space, no one can hear you ponder the eternal verities
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
Feature Zap guns, robots, lightspeed-smashing spaceships and bikini-busting princesses do not real science fiction make. Just ask George Lucas.
Star Wars defined movie SF in the mind of many a mainstream viewer. But while the film and its sequels and, er, prequels certainly provide the sci-fi enthusiast with thrills a-plenty - guilty or otherwise - they're not true science fiction. Or at least not good sci-fi. Cowboys and Indians in space - yes; SF - no.
Good science fiction, you see, is about big ideas. It's about exploring the human condition of the times in which it's written or filmed. Sorry, but a reducing good and evil to a force generated by intelligent bacteria in the blood of all living things is no meditation on the eternal verities.
Serious sci-fi can excite and delight, but it should also make you think. Star Wars pretty much lopped the legs off serious sci-fi movie-making with a scientifically implausible laser sword, but it didn't kill it off entirely. There have been some gems made since then.
Not that there were too many beforehand. The 1950s was dominated by alien invasion horror, while the 1960s saw sci-fi fall in popularity as it became clear human beings would soon be exploring space for real. Fortunately, the decade's troubles - the Cuban missile crisis, drug culture, Vietnam, a increasing emphasis on young consumers - provided fertile ground for a brief resurrection of good sci-fi flicks in the early 1970s.
The decade saw the release of the likes of The Andromeda Strain, Demon Seed, The Final Programme, The Illustrated Man, Logan's Run, The Omega Man, Slaughterhouse-Five, Westworld and more. Even Lucas' own THX 1138. But these are not among our top 10, presented below in release order.
As ever, feel free to disagree and tell us in the comments why we really, really should have had Amazon Women on the Moon in the list.
The Day the Earth Stood Still
You don't have to be of a religious bent to appreciate this 1951 second-coming parable. Angular-faced Michael Rennie's Klaatu doesn't have to be nailed to a tree to save us from our sins, but he does get shot by a GI with an itchy trigger finger, allowing him to sneak off and walk among us mortals for a brief time as the seemingly ordinary Mr Carpenter (Geddit?!?!)
War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing
Source: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
Turns out we're not as bad a bunch as the militaristic response to the arrival of Klaatu's saucer in central Washington might suggest. If we can just get over our desire to blowing the seven shades out of each other, "Grow up or else" is Klaatu's dire warning at the end of the picture. A mere 11 years later, in 1962, we came awfully close to realising what he meant, and you have to wonder if we'll ever figure it out. Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do...
Writer Edmund H North
Release 1951
Notes Famous for the eerily silent robot, Gort, he of the tank-melting laser vision and smooth, jointless chassis. Klaatu barada nikto!
Forbidden Planet
Yes, it's hard to take the baggy trousers, the cook who seems to have wandered straight off the set of South Pacific and Anne Francis' shockingly pointy chest seriously, but this was the 1950s, for Asimov's sake. If written SF had yet to break The Fuck Barrier, movie sci-fi was even more virginal, yet Forbidden Planet, in reworking the Immortal Bard's Tempest, presents an adventure that requires a brain to enjoy, not just a pair of eyes and a box of popcorn.
Bloody hell, it's the Krell
Source: Warner Home Video
You can't fault the special effects, courtesy of Disney's animators, especially the jaw-dropping cyclopean interiors of the Krell city. It's appropriate that their domain lies deep inside their world - Forbidden Planet is concerned with the interior, home of dangerous human emotions like lust, jealousy and monsters, monsters of the id...
Writer Cyril Hume
Release 1956
Notes Forever Jung, Forbidden Planet remains notable for its splendid, long pre-CGI effects, and for featuring Leslie "Police Squad" Nielsen in a serious role. Shamelessly ripped off in the Doctor Who story Planet of Evil.

Silent Running
You put Zardoz in there but missed Silent Running?
Zardoz is terrible. Watched it a few months back and aside from some neat ideas and imagery its actually one of the worst films I have ever seen. A film so bad it actually hurts.
It's essentially takes what would make a good Doctor Who or Blakes 7 story and turns it into the longest 100 or so minutes of your life.
I wanted to like it, there of bits of it that I think are really quite good, but it's just a confused po-faced mess that gets worse as the movie progresses.
That said, you can pick Zardoz up for pennies on Amazon so if you are interested in such things (as I am) at least you don't have to pay through the nose to get a copy. Think mine literally cost me a few pence + the postage!
Oh, and one other thing: Dark Star
Dark Star was the first movie to show the non-utopian(*) version of the Sci-Fi space travel future: bored, lonely people in a cramped uncomfortable dirty spaceship with everything breaking down and going wrong and a disinterested planet Earth back home cutting off their funding.
(*) - Yes, I mean non-utopian as opposed to dystopian. I'm treating topianity as (at least) three-valued, and I don't think it's really about a dystopia
Strange Days
Bit of an underappreciated classic methinks. Directed by Katherine Bigelow who got the rights as part of her divorce settlement with James Cameron who wrote the script. It has dated a bit because they chose to set it in 2000 and the technology seems to involve MiniDiscs; but the idea of people recording their experiences seems somewhat prescient in the era of Google Glass.
The opening POV robbery is a work of genius and it has the amazing Angela Bassett as one of Cameron's strong female roles. There are a couple of incredibly violent scenes, including a rape, which some people might find too much.

Assaulting Multiple Units
Part 1.
Is it possible to assault two units if they are far apart? For example, a Termagant Brood (A) wants to assault a Tactical Squad (B) and an Assault Bike (C), both of which are within 6" of the Brood and thus both are a valid target for an assault (see picture here).
The confusion about the ability to assault both units in this situation arises from the wording of the assault steps on page 34, which are;
• The most important one is that each model must end its assault move in coherency with another model in its own unit that has already moved.
• If possible, the model must move into base contact with any model within reach that is not already in base contact with an assaulting model.
The coherency rule in the first point is then reinforced again in the next section dealing with assaulting multiple units.
Therefore based on this it would be impossible to assault both units as pictured, because as soon as the second unit is assaulted the Termagant that moved would be out of coherency. Correct?
Part 2.
In the above situation assume the Assault Bike was next to the Tactical Squad and then both units were assaulted by the Termagant Brood, but after combat resolution there is only one Termagant remaining in base contact with the Tactical Squad. None of the Marines have been removed and the Termagant doesn't Fall Back, so the Tactical Marines Pile In, surrounding the Termagant.
Now it is the Assault Bike's turn to Pile In, but can't because it can't get into base contact with the Termagant. What happens to the Assault Bike? Is he still required to move 6" towards the Termagant, is he allowed to consolidate D6" or does he stand there until his next movement phase when he can move away because he is not engaged/locked in combat anymore?
Part 3.
Elsewhere in the same battle a Carnifex is completely surrounded by a Tactical Squad. The Tyranid player decides to assault with a Termagant Brood to help out. Can the Tactical Marines allocate their attacks to the Termagant Brood? The first bullet point on page 41 states;
• Models that were engaged with just one of the enemy units at the beginning of the combat…must attack that unit.
Does this indicate that the Marines have to spend another turn attacking the Carnifex, even though they would be more successful attacking the Termagants, and thus essentially giving the Termagants a free turn attacking the Tactical Squad without fear of retribution?
I'm looking for some help in ensuring I have the rules correct as it can be very confusing in the heat of a battle.
