I'm flattered. My opinion counts :D
Kal, That sketch you did of our Mando's is so awesome. :cheers
well thank u ner vod
If you can do me holding my bucket at my side, that'd be cool
I like the stache bro! :lol
I might as well post it here cause its easier :/ call me lazy
I would like to have bucket off to ;) (one with leather jacket is me)
your nose is a little small isn't is Squidward?
haha! I should find that rock again and carry it around with me for the rest of my life... then when someone trys to take a pic i whip it out (at the speed of sound) and hold it in front of my nose :lol
put it on a leather necklace.
:lol Ill see how that works :lol
whoops sorry Kal, Man we all thread jack each other a lot
dont kill me for this... Hey Joe Jonas anyone...
WHAT THE POODOO?!?! where did that come from? :lol that guy is so strange, and his brothers lol
can ya play a tamborine? :lol
lmao u guys crack me up... got ur mugs tho, good to go on that
Hey Kal, my pic the face is too oompa loompa orange, so not that orange, just well tanned and scared.
lol copy all Ad'ika, I'll start on this one soon... also, I have a GREAT idea for what to do with my SCUBA buy'ce... I'm going to turn it into an AIRBORNE buy'ce! lol similar to the parjai troopers from the 212th Assault Bat/2nd Airborne/Parjai Squad
Ok, sent ya a PM Kalio!
I was going to do a Bucket Off Pic, but since poor Alpha got picked on for his noes(which to me is small), there is NO WAY i'm going to post a pic of my face...... :D
lmao okay Mer'ika, sounds good ner vod.
tonight's project is my jump version of my armor and... the designs for the MAF logo for Jango and myself, as well as I want to design some star warsy versions of the qualification badges that my mando would wear, i.e. jump wings (since I'm adding airborne to his skill set... thanks to Jason making a way too cool buy'ce for me to pass up) and controller wings
Here's the rough bucket Kal.
The expression is supposed to be like furrowed eyebrows.
The T is open about 1 inch up into the furrow.
I'll try to post another, but most of the suit is like my snow, just a cape, the saber claw's, the anterior calf sabers, the guard shoto on both arms, and LONG handle saber over the shoulder, the 2 crossdraw blasters, and 2 theigh blasters, and 2 standard sabers.
The second pic is HORRIBLE ;) but you get the idea.
When I make this bucket, I plan on opening the area between the teeth and putting a mesh to hide behind, but it will provide lots of ventilation.
Ok I know I'm not really one to talk... but dang ner vod, I count 9 lightsabers and 4 blasters there... do u really expect to lose that many lightsabers? lol
For my Gaalaks features... He does get a scar on his right cheek (nothing to big :lol)
I think it would be cool if you made him smirking, cause thats so much like my personality. Read the bio pacx did for me and you should get all the info u need. Not sure what you wanna do with my hair... do what you want there
And personally Mereel, my nose is pretty big :lol thats just a good pic of me
Alright Kal, got your PM ner vod, and Bucket on for me in my please, in my current armour (not the TOR set). Thanks for doing this vod! I cant wait to see it!
Actually 11 sabers, the guard shoto are gonna be double bladed ;)
However the calf, shoto and claws are permanently attached, so 8 non-movable, and the 2 standard and 1 long handle.
He likes to kill ;)
His hair is white, I couldn't do it right in the chop job I did above, and shoulder length, the 'stache also white with black streaks ;)
No problem A'd'ika! I love that armor set! lol... Ad'ika that's a lot of... fun...lol as for the mug data, I plan on trying to draw in a few faces, but IF I have too much trouble with it... it'll end up buy'ces on for everyone! lol
Here's a quick sketch for you guys. This is the jumper version of my armor... the kit that was worn during the clone wars so that I could accompany my specially trained pathfinder clones on their jumps. The Buy'ce is the one being built for me by Jas'ika and... the detailing of the blue fangs (on the buy'ce) and the blue slashes on the armor plating are being added to the overall armor.
Ok i thought that i might as well save you some time and post this here
heres the tropies Pacx wrote in my bio
"After his glory years, Galaak had collected a large amount of trophies, from wookie pelts, lighsabers and blasters, the scalps and armour pieces. One of his more prized weapons was an acquisition he had discovered in the ruins in the south hemisphere of Taris - A cortosis blade, fashioned by hand in pure cortosis weave. It became invalubale during his jedi hunting career, due to it's ability to short out lightsaber blades, leaving his victims defencless against blaster fire. It was said that Galaak had enough in small arms to take down a planet."
he he I ain't one for collecting trophies... just weapons... I mean, once I deal with 'em, they ain't gonna need 'em anymore, now are they? lol
why thank you Ord'ika! Not too flashy? lol
Not too bad. Hard to kill someone when you're 30 feet off the ground though, huh Kal?
not really... that's what the grenades and ranged weapons are for... but it's more for getting to the ground from higher altitude
HAHAHA grenades!!?! From 30ft up? Aren't you a battle technician vod!?!
Lev'ika remind me never to post my mug on this Forum, they might tease me for my nose
dude i think my nose will pawn all of yours :lol it currently sticks out of the visor area!! (gonna have to find a way to fix that :s)
He he yeah but it's Star Wars... anything's possible ner vod. Besides, 40MM can be fired up to 600 hundred yards, 30 feet is only 10 yards. Rifle launched grenades really add range and punch... like I said tho, the jet pack is more for getting to the ground... the weapons are for once we're down ;)
Hmm yeah yeah. Just watch your landings, you'd be surprised how many injuries can be caused by landing badly. I saw one kid with his ankles crushed from falling 20ft from a balcony. It's bad.
yeah sounds kinda rough... btw Pacx... can't wait for the finished story! I'm going to do some extra stuff (from the CW) for it and I plan on making it into my very first COMIC BOOK! lol
That'll work :D
u guys crack me up... here's that recolor for y'all
Looks like Levi emailed you a larger file to work with ;)
Anyone seen or heard from Nevu?
nope... I used the one of the joint gallery, just used Gimp to make it bigger, then touched it up a bit with my black pens
lol I had to touch up the details a bit due to blurring when I enlarged it but oh well. I think it turned out alright! Now on to the next project...lmao
thats awesome!!!
Kal, that jump jet kit is awesome. :cheers You need to get building vod! I want to see these drawings come to life!!!
lol yeah I know... I'm going to start working a little more this weekend I hope... have to find layouts for the ODST shin/leg plates, and I need to figure out how to do my gaunts/thigh plates... on the plus side I have P for Plenty cardboard to work with right now! lol
hey lev'ika... would u be interested in turning this mass group sketch into a coop sketch?
sure, i could help :) what parts would i be doing?
hmm... not sure but I'll know later on tonight... I'll post it up here.
Alright :)
Nice job vod.
So seeing as I made a request in Levi's thread for a drawing of a mando I figured why not crack at it with you. It will help me get an initial design for what I can put into my mandalorian armor. You've seen many of my updates and progress pictures so hopefully you know what to do. Take your time vod..no need to rush and thanks a bunch!
yup no prob... I'll get started as soon as I can
ok vode... 2 down, 9 to go... thankfully lev'ika's goin' to help out by roughin' out 2 of the vode for me.
Take your time....I am in no rush when it comes to this sort of stuff. LOL!
'preciate it ad'ika, I'll get to it shortly tho... promise. Right now I'm just swamped with the mass sketch I already started. I really think I overtasked myself with this one so I'm having to outsource a bit of the work! lol
Eh...the perks of drawing in pencil then going over it with marker. LOL!
Hey Kal, right now im kinda stressing to! Ela and social projects due monday and wednesday... and they're big
Dont worry though, ill get those sketchs done. I dont have much done on the first one though yet :/ dont kill me!! :lol
@CC: prexactly ner vod
@Lev'ika: no rush... still workin' on my part. I have 4 done now... (did 2 last night) lol still have a few more to go. Right now I have Kal, Fi, Lev'ika, Mer'ika sketched and inked. Starting A'd'ika nd Jas'ika tonight hopefully... I plan on getting a lot done this weekend on it... at the risk/sacrifice of not working on my armor. lol
Dont worry about it vod, over the weekend, your helmet will be having work done to it...I have some pics for ya btw...gotta upload em. :)
wayii! can't wait ner vod! altho unfortunately I have to... :( finance is givin' me the run around... speakin' of which I need to get off my lunch break and go back to finance to get this paperwork finished! lol
:lol No problem vod! I still gotta talk to my buddy about casting these things...because you do NOT want my original...I built a hyperlight dome (less than a pound, yet I can stand on it) then proceeded to pack bondo to build all those ridges and such on the back (now it weighs a ton)...And I want em to be hollow, so we're gonna mold and cast em with urathane plastic...a bit more expensive then resin, but amazingly strong...so in the end it will be perfect!!! I'm stoked about this (as if you couldnt tell...:lol)
lol yeah me 2... very excited ner vod... so the original is gonna be too heavy to wear then? As long as the recast is strong enough I'll be happy ner vod.
Dont worry vod...I'll make sure they meet standards...;):p I'm trying to keep the original light...but we shall see...:D
And I have a question for you:
How exactly do you want this part to look? Does the top piece (circled part) stick out over the lower piece? of am just suffering from a 2D moment and totally not seeing it? :lol
should be about the same, maybe a SLIGHT protrusion, barely even noticeable.
Alright...awesome!!! That makes my life so much easier...:lol I was trying all these wierd angles and overlays and undercuts &cs and it was looking really strange...lol Now I can just make it all the same initally, then add a plate of sintra over it to give it a bit of protrusion...:)
Thanks ner vod!!! :) :) :)
sounds good to me ner vod
hey lev'ika what's ur status on the mass sketch outsourcing... I have 6 of mine done! well... ready to scan and photoshop anyways! lol
@ everyone: hey vode I need suggestions for backgrounds, right now I have no ideas. Anybody?
im really sorry kal, there hasnt been much progress... a few real world problems popped up and i dont have much time on my hands :( ill try my hardest to get them done though
he he it's ok, no rush ner vod. I'm strugglin' through some issues too, but... I did a lot last night so...lol Still need ideas for a background tho if anybody has one, I'd be happy to hear it.
Hmmm what are the stances? i could probably think of something off that
How many Mando's? A rockface is always good. Do a sort of sniper after sniper after sniper thing. Lots of ledges and crevices to stick them in. Even if they aren't snipers, it still gives you lots of good platforms for them to stand/sit/lay on.
well... right now I have 6 of 9-10 total mando'ade sketched already. Kal is sitting on an ammo crate, Fi is sitting on the ground, Ord'ika is sitting indian style and A'den, Lev'ika and Mereel are standing... Mereel angled in from the left, A'd'ika and Lev'ika from the right.
Hmm....put the others on a giant Jell-O mold? Nah.
You need yourself a vehicle. Something like Luke's landspeeder with a mounted gun where the tail engine was. That takes care of 3. If it winds up being 10, toss the last one in next to Mereel.
yeah I was thinking maybe a basiliisk in the background... maybe a hanger or a forward deployed camp or something... but I need something that nobody's going to really blend into
Oooooh. Good call on the Bes'uliik. With all your Mando's, I think a hangar might be a little hard to squeeze in. An FDC sounds good, though.
Okay here's a quick update: I have 7 vode finished: Kal, Fi, A'd'ika, Lev'ika, Ord'ika, Jang'ika and Mer'ika. I have 5 of them already fused and ready to color, I have 2 more waiting to be scanned. That leaves Ad'ika, Kad'ika (lil' saber), and Pac'ika. I plan on having this one done pretty soon, but I'm also trying to work on my own armor at the same time so...lol
Ill get adonians and Pacx's to you asap
Hey at least it is something to do in the long run. I am actually to busy to do any work in terms of my armor right now. School finals are really catching up to me. Lucky I only have three more things to do for school and then I am free to do what I want for the next month LOL! And that counts on my mando design and getting it set up with paint. LOL!
lol well I'm now waiting on Lev'ika! lol so CC I'll get to work on yours. Do you want me to use standard plates for your armor or make a design based on those other pics u posted up?
Standard mandalorian plates. That is what I made when I started on the card board of it all. LOL!
well now that everythings handed in and finished i get can those done for you Kal ;) :lol Still adonians dark jedi and Pacx right?
afirm... in fact those are the only 2 I still need... and since I'm workin' on a concept for CC... I may just add her in there too! lol BTW, can you do one of the 2 sitting down? Either on the ground or on an ammo crate... That way I can make it a bit more convenient for the next progression of the mass sketch.
Hey Kal are both mine gonna be in there? Snow and Dark? AKA The Twins of Death. :lol
lol well... they can be... I think I'm going to add in my old crew too, this is the start of my mass mando sketch that I've been yappin' about doin' for a LOOONG time.
can't wait!!!
All will work out in the end.
ok vode... I promise I'm still working! lol just be patient this is a massive undertaking for me. I have 2 full squads that I'm working with and some of us (eh hem... Adonian) have multiple armor sets! lol (myself included). Speaking of which... check out my armor thread, I've made progress! Spent a few hours today and got the leg plates built, just need to finish 'em up now.
for give me for being crazy :wacko , I just love my armor... even if it aint done yet :lol but I have bad news... I (and all my fellow employees) have lost hours since November so I have no $ to work on my armor. I wont finish anything until late January.
I really just wanna see what it can look like finished. ;)
Kal... Opinion... you think a black jump suit will be ok with my snow suit if I put white camo spots and the wampa fur in stratigic areas? could you do a rough sketch (nothing special) so I can get an idea? I may be able to get a black jumpsuit cheap.
yes I think it'd look ok, yes I can do a rough... in fact I can take your original and recolor it! lol since it was white to begin with. Hey vode check out my armor WIP and let me know what you think about the shin/leg pieces that I made... I need some input.
Hey kal... I hope you're not gonna hate me for this but i didnt get a chance to work on them. I wish i could say that it would be finished for the weekend but sadly i cant :(
If you have a chance maybe you could do them :/ This whole weeks booked for me and next week is when we do the shopping.... and im still trying to finish painting the helmet for after christmas
Hope you can forgive me
he he no problem lev'ika... I'll see what I can do, I've packed a few extra on myself as well so I know the feeling... not to mention work's been busy
im sorry if its just adding another thing to your list but i just cant find the time, and i hate holding your sketch up
*** school is driving me nuts I miss so much of whats going on. :(
well you'll get a nice break soon bro :)
@Lev'ika: don't worry about it ner vod, not makin' it any more difficult... I've got a lot of ppl in it already! lol I just need to add a few more to it to be ready to color in the first cut! I have to finish up my squad, and then add in the few of y'all I still haven't gotten in there yet.
saw the shins, they look really cool.
Ok i read that wrong at first :lol "oh no! Done saw the shins!! theyre to awesome!" :lol
Than i thought about it and somewhat came to my sences (with me im never completely there :lol)

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Something was missing in Danny Boyd's life.
Sure, he has had a long and fulfilling career as a media studies professor at West Virginia State University. He is a filmmaker with dozens of films to his credit.
He's even had some fun in the pro wrestling circuit.
But the 56-year-old Boyd is not one to stand still in life. And he's having a lot of fun with his newest adventure - a foray into the world of the graphic novel.
"It was an accident. It was a total dumb accident," Boyd said of last year's debut project, based on his 1988 horror film, "Chillers."
Boyd said he and his pro wrestling partner, Bill Bitner, had been working on a film project, "Death Falcon Zero vs. Zombie Sluglords."
Catchy title aside, Boyd said the film wasn't coming together.
"I had to come to the realization that it wasn't a good movie," he said. At a friend's suggestion, he decided to adapt the idea as a short illustrated graphic novel.
"During that time, I decided to start reading comic books again - and I fell in love with them," he said.
His next inspiration was turning to "Chillers" and creating a larger project, an anthology for which he would recruit various writers - including West Virginia State students - and artists to contribute.
Right out of the gate, Boyd had a hit. The first volume was nominated for Best of the Year by both Shel Dorf and Ghastly Awards - the Academy Awards of the graphic novel world - and was labeled Best Anthology of 2012 by the horror blogsite Decapitated Dan along with earning kudos in the graphic novel review world.
Even better, Boyd had a blast with the project and his publisher, Transfuzion, encouraged him to do more.
So now we have "Chillers Volume 2."
Again, Boyd tapped students and other writers for the anthology and used a variety of graphic artists from around the world to illustrate it.
He said producing a graphic novel isn't unlike scriptwriting.
"We filmmakers have learned to write tightly, and we're used to describing everything. Now we just break it into panels."

West Asheville natives Celeste Adams (right) and Emily Bishop sit by the open garage door at the West Asheville Lounge and Kitchen. "The kale is awesome," says Adams, who also had avocado salad. Bishop had the crunchy tacos, and they split an order of fries.
WALK opened today, Tuesday, Feb. 7. The pool tables and jukebox work flawlessly. The taps flow with local beer.
The food menu is affordable, recognizable, filled with local fare. There's a Hickory Nut Gap brat for $5, a burger sourced from the same Fairview farm that's served in either a 6-ounce portion ($6) or a 2-ounce portion ($3). A shrimp po' boy on West End Bakery baguette runs $8 and crispy beef/chicken/tempeh tacos are one for $2 or three for $5.
Easily the largest restaurant in east West Asheville, WALK is an interesting addition to the growing area.
WALK is located at 401 Haywood Road, across from the Admiral. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 11:30 a.m. until 2 a.m., noon until 2 a.m. on Sunday. Saturday and Sunday brunch is coming soon, according to the owners.

Comments about Rag Doll Adult Women's Costume:
We hand out candy at work for kids that trick-or-treat and this costume is great for that. I still feel sexy and fun, yet it is conservative enough to wear around kids.
Comments about Rag Doll Adult Women's Costume:
I bought this costume for Halloween and everyone loved it, including myself! It is short, but not too short that I could not wear it to my work place during our Halloween party.
Comments about Rag Doll Adult Women's Costume:
This is such a sweet costume! I'm going to wear her as a zombie for Halloween!! My only complaint is the wig, it looks awesome and the hair really does stay out like in the picture (you can bend it any way) but even with a small head (I wear a 6 7/8 fitted hat) it's a snug fit. You have to put your hair up there and even with my hair down it was tough getting the wig on. I have long legs and the skirt is the perfect length that I don't have to worry about moving around and showing a little too much (I got a L and I'm 5'8") My boyfriend was amazed how good it looks :) I'm excited to be a zombie rag doll next week!!!

The first and foremost improvement is that Apple has really gone for Google' jugular and created their own maps application that no longer utilizes Google Maps. By removing millions of iPhones from Google Maps, Apple will not only make life more difficult for Google, but also improve the revenue they can generate from iPhones using maps.
Apple's Maps feature really delivers a whole new way of looking at maps with a combination of TomTom imagry combined with C3 Technologies' 3D maps of dozens if not hundreds of major world cities and the addition of turn by turn navigation. Turn by turn navigation was actually a feature that the iPhone lacked in the past due to the fact that Google did not wish to provide iPhone users with turn by turn and kept it for Android devices only. Below, we've got a video that has a nice demonstration of what maps look like in 3D with C3 Technologies' 3D models which is now owned by Apple.
Thanks for reading BSN*

Guru Roundup
He does not think equities have put in the bottom which I took as his expecting the stumble along the bottom to continue. If SPX 666 turns out to be the low it could still be a while before the market breaks through the upper band of the trading range, feel free to assign whatever number you want to upper band. He has been buying commodities still as he says that if stocks have bottomed commodities will lead the way out and if stocks have not bottomed commodities will not go down as much.
Maria asked if he is still buying agriculture which he took as agricultural commodities but I think Maria meant farmland. Buying farmland is something he just started talking about in the last couple of months or so-- long time readers may recall my writing about farmland stocks quite a while ago.
He said that the fundamentals are not improving for Citigroup (C) or General Motors (GM) but they are improving for commodities. He said banks everywhere are printing money which has always lead to higher prices. He thinks they are crazy for doing but he knows the end result; higher prices for all of us.
The only stocks he bought recently were in China back in October and November. He said that China has huge reserves for a rainy day and now they are starting to spend some of it. He said Singapore is in a similar situation as China but he did not say he bought any stocks from Singapore. He also said that China is not big enough to bail out the world or the US and he said you need to own the right sectors in China; if you sell to Walmart or Sears you are having trouble and it's going to get worse.
Kind of interesting to me is that his timing on China was similar to mine. I went back in a little earlier than him, after being out for just over a year. I have also been saying that I do not want exporters or financials from China. For the stock in question I was a clearly a few weeks early but the point is that after a market drops 60%, even if it is on its way 70%, it has discounted an awful lot of problems.
Next up is what I believe to be the latest portfolio allocation from the Harvard Management Company. Per that link it is allocated as follows; 34% of the portfolio in public equities, 17% in private equities, 18% in absolute return strategies (hedge funds), and 26% in real assets (real estate and natural resources). HMC CEO Jane Mendillo denied rumors that the endowment sold illiquid assets, presumably private equity investments, for pennies on the dollar.
Per the article the endowment was down 22% from June 2008- to October, the S&P 500 was down 24% during the same stretch. Obviously during that period of time just about every asset was down a lot and based on the above information it would seem that the HMC did not find too many hiding places for capital. I am a huge believer in owning some diversfiers but they are not the be all end all for every market scenario.
While I incorporate small allocations to those sorts of things and I do believe they smooth out the ride there is nothing wrong with overweighting cash every once in a while.

Roger, it's useless me trying to pick any bottom, top or valuation right now as I wouldn't know where to start. I want to put some cash into equities so I'd like to know WHEN you and/or my fellow long-term readers think I should.
I thought maybe if the S&P or Dow goes below a certain point, then I'll buy regardless of the fundamentals or my gut feelings. Maybe 700/7000. I'm probably going to choose an index tracker - maybe a World index or combination of several geographical places - and leave what I have left of my previous "investments" until/if they recover. They're very diversified and I'm bored thinkin' about 'em.
I've got a good 25 years until I retire and under 5% a year in a savings account is so dull I'd just spend it on women and beer. Hmm, I've got nothing in tech, maybe that's where I should start?
Thanks for the daily sensibleness. - 6:37 AM

Thanks for this Roger. Where is the bond exposure? Do you think they tucked that under Equities or Absolute Return? Pretty odd. I would have loved to have heard a better debate about owning illiquid assets in accounts used for operating budgets...lots of schools got bit with that one...the double shame is that it was so avoidable and now students are affected....

Tim - I was wondering about bond allocation as well.
I know nothing about Harvard's finances, but I still haven't figure why they put so much into things that can be more volatile that equities. I'd think they'd want to conserve money as much as they'd want to grow it. - 8:16 AM

The omission of bonds is glaring, especially at a time when equities (public and private) are so risky. Perhaps that's what they decided to sell off for operating expenses, rather than selling assets that were bottoming.

IMO, bear markets are caused by two major elements: earnings decline and risk premiums increase. The combination of the two leads to severe bear markets.
When the economy and markets turn around the risk premiums can decline dramatically and very quickly and typically earnings rise dramatically as well because productivity goes way up during the early recovery phase.
So you can get huge price moves. Example July-August 1932 market went up 90% and for full 12 months up 163%. Other examples 1954 market up 53%, 58 up 43%, 75 market up 37% and so on.
Returns are not normally distributed, you have fat tails on both sides of the equation. - 10:28 AM

In response to this international economic downturn, which might be the worse since the 1930's, do you see other countries looking at other forms of government/business other than capitalism.
By the way, I don't believe we have a true "free-enterprise" system in this country. If you can make a widget for less, you can't go out on the street corner and start selling it. - 1:07 PM

can you permit me to pose a question? What is the likelihood that the world will go back to gold standard due to the financial instability and the fact that every country that is in some sort of trouble is printing money?
Jeff from Milan Italy
P.S. in terms of the word lot that I had used, I did not mean as such, since I have lots of respect for you. It comes from that I lived in a neighbourhood where such language was used and getting back to English sometimes comes out some slang. - 3:09 PM

anon 107, i believe that the aspiration aspect of the dynamic makes that unlikely, that is many people around the world love the US culture (sports, movies, TV, iPods etc) even if they hate our policies, politics and blame us for the crisis.
Jeff, that one is outside my wheelhouse, all I can say is that aside from the regular logistical issues that might entail, trying to go back to a gold standard right after massively increasing the money supply by a huge magnitude seems nuts to me. - 3:18 PM

George Bush and Congress (Dems and GOP) destroyed America and dumped it on Obama to fix.
Jesus Christ could not fix the mess America is in.
After rich, white America sat blinded by SUVs while the super-rich stole all the money.
Then they elect the first black man as president to take the blame.

Cerebellar circuits and synaptic mechanisms involved in classical eyeblink conditioning
Trends in Neurosciences, Volume 20, Issue 4, 1 April 1997, Pages 177-181
Jeansok J Kim and Richard F Thompson
AbstractThere is increasing evidence that, in addition to its major functional role in the regulation of fine motor control, the cerebellum is involved in other important functions, such as sensory–motor learning and memory. Classical conditioning of the eyeblink or nictitating membrane response (and other discrete behavioral responses) is a form of sensory–motor learning that depends crucially upon the cerebellum. Within the cerebellum, however, the relative importance of the cerebellar cortex and the deep cerebellar nuclei in eyeblink conditioning is unclear and disputed. Recent studies employing various mutant mice provide an effective approach to resolving this controversy. Eyeblink conditioning in spontaneous mutant mice deficient in Purkinje cells, the exclusive output neurons of the cerebellar cortex, indicate that both the cerebellar cortex and the interpositus nucleus are important. Furthermore, studies involving gene knockout mice suggest that long-term depression, a process of synaptic plasticity occurring in Purkinje cells, might be involved in eyeblink conditioning.

Cerebellum and conditioned reflexes
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Volume 2, Issue 9, 1 September 1998, Pages 322-330
Christopher H Yeo and Germund Hesslow
AbstractThe central assumption of existing models of motor learning in the cerebellum is that cerebellar mossy fibres signal information about the context in which a movement is to be performed and climbing fibres signal in relation to a movement error. This leads to changes in the responsiveness of Purkinje cells, which on the next occasion will generate a corrected output in a given context. Support for this view has come mainly from work on adaptation of the vestibulo–ocular reflex. The discovery that classically conditioned eyeblink responses depend critically on the cerebellum offers the possibility to study the learning of a novel behaviour, rather than modification of an existing reflex. After repeated pairing of a neutral stimulus, such as a tone, with a blink-eliciting stimulus, the tone will acquire the ability to elicit a blink on its own. We review evidence from studies employing a wide variety of techniques that the cerebellum is critical in this type of learning as well as evidence that mossy and climbing fibres have roles assigned to them in cerebellar learning models.

Building new motor responses: eyelid conditioning revisited
Trends in Neurosciences, Volume 29, Issue 6, 1 June 2006, Pages 330-338
José M. Delgado-García and Agnès Gruart
AbstractNeural processes underlying memory and learning should be studied under the best possible physiological conditions – namely, in alert behaving animals. The classical conditioning of the nictitating membrane and eyelid response is a widely used experimental model for studying the neural bases of motor learning in mammals. Nevertheless, information is still needed on the functional aspects, taking place simultaneously in different cerebral structures, that underlie acquisition, extinction and recall of new motor and cognitive abilities. Here, we review recent data on the neural activity generated in selected brain sites (facial motor nuclei, deep cerebellar nuclei and the hippocampus) in simultaneity with the process of learning. The use of modern technologies for the proper recording of eyelid movements, for the identification of the recorded units, and for the activation of selective synaptic processes during the learning situation enables a precise redefinition of the role played by these neural structures in such associative learning. This review is part of the TINS special issue on The Neural Substrates of Cognition.

Where is the trace in trace conditioning?
Diana S. Woodruff-Pak1 and John F. Disterhoft2,
1 Department of Psychology, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122-6011, USA
2 Department of Physiology, Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL 60611-3008, USA
Intensive mapping of the essential cerebellar brain circuits for Pavlovian eyeblink conditioning appeared relatively complete by 2000, but new data indicate the need for additional differentiation of cerebellar regions and mechanisms coding delay and trace conditioning. This is especially important, as trace conditioning is an experimentally tractable model of declarative learning. The temporal gap in trace eyeblink conditioning may be bridged by forebrain regions through pontine–cerebellar nuclear connections that can bypass cerebellar cortex, whereas a cerebellar cortical long-term-depression-like process appears to be required to support normal delay conditioning. Experiments focusing on the role of cerebellar cortex and deep nuclei in delay versus trace conditioning add perspective on brain substrates of these seemingly similar paradigms, which differ only by a brief stimulus-free time gap between conditioned and unconditioned stimuli. This temporal gap appears to impose forebrain dependencies and differentially engage different cerebellar circuitry during acquisition of conditioned responses.

Interactions between mammalian herbivores and associated plant communities

The grasslands of California represent one of the most dramatic biological invasions in the world:
9.2 million ha (almost 25% of the entire state) are dominated by non-native plants. My work at NCEAS will evaluate whether non-native plants subsidize native consumers, leading to stronger impacts of native consumers on native plants (i.e. apparent competition). Furthermore, I will characterize how differences in consumer behavior among patches change the spatial extent of apparent competition (and thus invasion).

WTF Did I Just Watch?: Zelda Theme On Tesla Coils With Link Strange Man (Ingo?) In The Middle Weilding Master Swords Tubes
How can you look at that preview and NOT watch the video? You'd have to be out of your mind. Or unable to watch videos at work. You know, that might be something you want to consider before taking your next job. Which, funny story: you're fired.
Thanks to Camolai, who claims she beat Zelda II but I suspect she's lying just to make me jealous (you better be!)
Because it's dangerous to go anywhere on an empty stomach, here's Link's master sword made out of delicious baguette. It was baked by the kid in the picture (spacekat267), who, despite the ear plugs and tattoos, looks suspiciously like he's 13. I look 400, so obviously I'm a ... / Continue →

recipe reviews for:
"This is just like traditional Christmas pudding, but with less fat. The house smells great all day long. It's wonderful served with rum or cranberry sauce. For variations, try lemon or chocolate sauce. You can also line the mold with pecan halves or cranberries before filling. Be creative and add Christmas decorations to the plate before serving. The sky is the limit."

Tough budget facing legislature as session begins
Written by Josh Mitchell- Tools to help cope with an uncertain future
- Voucher legislation hits roadblock
- Law enforcement lobbies for speedy, dependable fleets
- Parks and rec grants decrease across state
- Moral March is not a moment, but a movement
- Districts grapple with directive to identify top 25 percent of teachers
- Neediest waiting more than three months for benefits: N.C. food stamp delays 'alarm' feds
- Private schools, public money, heated discourse: School stakeholders debate new N.C. voucher program
The state legislative session began in Raleigh this week with the big issue being the budget during tough economic times.
The current fiscal year budget of $21.35 billion is expected to have a shortfall of $2 billion, and Gov. Beverly Perdue has asked state agencies, colleges and universities to cut back on spending. For the first half of the fiscal year revenue is running $625 million below what was expected.
During the session the legislature also has to develop budgets for 2009-2010, which begins July 1, and 2010-2011.
The revenue picture is bleak as the recession is expected to continue into 2010. The state is collecting less in sales and income taxes as well as corporate and franchise taxes. Raising the sales tax and increasing the taxes on alcohol and gasoline could generate additional revenue, noted Rep. Phil Haire, D-Sylva.
According to the Associated Press, the state also has a $780 million rainy day fund that could possibly be tapped. Sen. Joe Sam Queen, D-Waynesville, said the legislature will have to determine what are priorities when developing the budget, and he said education and job creation are his.
Local legislators are also waiting to see what effect President Barack Obama's proposed $825 billion stimulus plan will have on North Carolina.
"I'm hoping for solid revenue sharing from the federal side to get us through," Queen said.
The state's unemployment rate increased to 8.7 percent in December, the highest since June 1983 when the rate was 9 percent.
"Layoffs continue to hamper many job sectors throughout the state," Employment Security Commission Chairman Moses Carey Jr. said in a news release.
The unemployment rate a year ago was 4.7 percent.
In December there were 396,846 people unemployed in North Carolina. The national unemployment rate was 7.2 percent in December.
The downward trend in employment in the state is expected to persist for most, if not all, of 2009, and maybe into 2010, according to a report from the Fiscal Research Division of the state Legislature.

Financial Meltdown Topics
Democracy Now! stories, posts and pages that relate to Financial Meltdown
We now move three-quarters of a century back in time to 1933. It was the middle of an era that our current moment is sometimes compared to: the Great Depression. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt took his oath of office in March of that year, over 10,000 banks had collapsed, following the stock market crash of 1929. One-quarter of American workers were unemployed, and people were fighting over scraps of food. We play an excerpt of FDR's inaugural...Sep 29, 2008 | Story
On Monday, the House voted 228-to-205 against authorizing the largest government intervention in the financial market in US history. The measure would have granted the Treasury unprecedented authority and up to $700 billion to relieve faltering banks and other firms of bad assets backed by home mortgages, which are falling into foreclosure at record rates. As the economic crisis worsens and spreads across the globe, we speak with Robert Johnson,...Sep 30, 2008 | Story
Following Monday's rejection in the House, the Senate plans to vote today on the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street. Lawmakers are said to have revised the bill following public outcry, but critics say the measure includes only slight, cosmetic changes. We get an update from Washington insider and former Senate Banking Committee chief economist Robert Johnson and speak to veteran journalist William Greider of The Nation magazine. [includes...Oct 01, 2008 | Story
The Senate has endorsed a revised version of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout plan. The legislation was easily approved last night on a 74-to-25 vote with a majority of Democrats and Republicans voting in favor — among them, presidential nominees Barack Obama and John McCain. Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz says the measure, although flawed, should be supported now and revisited after the November elections. [includes rush...Oct 02, 2008 | Story
On Capitol Hill, the House is preparing to vote again on the revised $800 billion Wall Street bailout plan after rejecting a similar bill on Monday. All 432 seats in the House are up for election next month, and many "no" votes on Monday reflected lawmakers' fears of a voter backlash for the unpopular bill. An array of "pork barrel" projects have been inserted into the legislation to win support from nervous incumbents. [includes...Oct 03, 2008 | Story
As the world reels from the financial crisis on Wall Street and the taxpayer-funded $700 billion bailout, we spend the hour with Naomi Klein on the economy, politics and "disaster capitalism." The Shock Doctrine author recently spoke at the University of Chicago to oppose the creation of an economic research center named after the University's most famous economist, Milton Friedman. Klein says Friedman's economic philosophy...Oct 06, 2008 | Story
As stock indexes plunge across Europe and Asia, Britain unveiled plans today to inject up to 50 billion pounds — close to $90 billion — into its biggest retail banks. Recent efforts to bolster world credit markets have failed to stem fears that the spreading financial crisis could lead to a global recession. We go to Rome to speak to economist Loretta Napoleoni, author of Rogue Economics: Capitalism's New Reality. [includes rush...Oct 08, 2008 | Story
It was no surprise that the economy dominated last night's presidential debate.

In the largest loss since the crash of 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over seven percent on Thursday, closing below 9,000 for the first time in five years. Over the past six trading days, the Dow has plummeted over 2,200 points, or about 21 percent. Earlier today, global stock values fell in trading as fears grow of a worldwide recession.

As the Bush administration announces a $250 billion plan to partially nationalize the nation's banking system, we speak to Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Department in the Reagan administration and a former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal.
