Roger Goodell might have to fine himself.
The NFL commissioner declined a live interview with NBC on Sunday ahead of Super Bowl XLIX, Bob Costas reported during the network's pregame show.

7 Easy Transfer fails while checking what can be transferred
"Windows Easy Transfer is unable to continue. Please reboot ..."
WET fails on the "old" computer (Windows 7 Professional laptop, 32 bit), while checking what can be transferred. I'm trying to transfer via USB drive, running as Administrator, after a clean boot. The only Event Viewer message after WET start is "The Multimedia Class Scheduler service entered the running state." What else can I look at, what else can I try, or how can I perform the same transfers manually ? Notes: 1. I'm mainly interested in transferring settings and customizations 2. The eventual "new" computer is Windows 7 Enterprise laptop, 64 bit 3. Three years ago I successfully used WET to transfer from XP to the (now) "old" Windows 7 laptop Thanks in advance for any help. |

You could try disabling everything on the old computer via msconfig, Startup and Services tabs.
This is a good tutorial on using msconfig in Windows 7: How to use msconfig in Windows 7 Click on Start then Run, type msconfig and press Enter. Click on the Startup tab, record what is currently starting then click the Disable All button. Click on the Services tab. Check the Hide All Microsoft Services box, record what is currently starting then click the Disable All button. Now try WET, see what happens. Otherwise, can you connect them through a router then tell WET to use that instead of using a USB flash drive? |

I would not transfer settings as they are a corruption path into a fresh install. Better to start fresh.
WET also fails regularly so it's not as reliable as dragging the active User folders to backup and then copying their contents into the corresponding folders after reinstall. |

Ztruker, thanks so much for your quick reply.
I have tried Disable All on the msconfig -> Services without success, but will also try your msconfig -> Startup suggestion. As for your helpful router suggestion, I thought USB might be simpler when WET was unable to connect the two machines on our corporate network. |

Gregrocker, thanks for your quick response.
Can you tell me any specific items that your method avoids vs. WET ? |
My System Specs |
02 Dec 2012 | #6 |
WET does not work. If and when on the rare occasion it does work it ends up leaving unintended consequences.
These systems, IMHO, have never worked as intended. |
My System Specs |
02 Dec 2012 | #7 |
If you use WET your files can be stuck inside it and irretrievable. We never hear anything about WET here except problems.
Since your stated goal is to transfer settings, from the point of view of a Clean Reinstaller transferring settings is a frequent corruption path vs. starting fresh which is the point of a reinstall. If you are not reinstalling and will have the original install as backup then you can try it as long as you're aware of the drawbacks. |

Thanks for the info, gregrocker - in fact i am trying to transfer from 32 bit Win7 to 64 bit Win7, not re-installing.
Ztrucker, unfortunately your helpful suggestions did not seem to make any difference in my problem. Is anyone aware of any way to enable logging or verbose mode or any command line switches for WET / migwiz ? |

02 Dec 2012 | #9 |
Ok you have gotten 2 responses, one from a long time and very knowledgable Seven Forums user, Greg, that WET DOES NOT WORK. These transfer programs have never worked correctly.
So my question to you is Why are you still trying to use it? |

Weaver, the star of television's McCloud series in the 1970s, was looking for backers for his Ridgway-based Ecolonomics Institute, an environmental think tank that attempts to find ways to create ecology-friendly industries. White told him that Tatman planned to pioneer ecological methods of mining and milling and that he had enough money to help fund the institute.
"Sasha called me up one day and said, 'I've got a person who could fund what we're doing,'" recalls Weaver. "He came over to the house driving an old Lincoln. I thought, 'If this guy has the money he claims, why isn't he driving something better?'"
Despite his misgivings, Weaver says he thought Tatman might be able to support the fledgling institute and met again with the promoter during a visit to Boulder later that year. "He talks a lot and says what he thinks you want to hear," Weaver says of Tatman. "One time we were driving through Gold Hill, and he was explaining to me how he was going to build his home on top of the mountain and he'd build an elevator from the mine shaft and it would serve the house."
Tatman went on to describe other big plans, including a multi-million-dollar educational facility and tourist attraction that would turn Gold Hill into an ecological theme park. Weaver says he was skeptical but still thought the promoter might be a source of funding for the Ecolonomics Institute. He even agreed to put Tatman on the institute's board, but Tatman never came through with any cash. "He made a lot of promises about how much money he was going to give the institute, but he never did anything," says Weaver.
Despite Weaver's misgivings about the Mogul project, Tatman was able to use the actor's Hollywood pedigree to impress at least one investor in the mine. Bill Maher met Weaver and got the star's autograph during a gathering at Tatman's Boulder home in October 1994, a few months before he bought his first shares in Durango Metals. Maher also considers himself an environmentalist, and he says he was eager to meet Weaver. The dentist had visited Ridgway earlier that year and had his picture taken outside the Earthship--a structure Weaver put up made of recycled tires--in his Captain Ecology suit, a green outfit that Maher wears on occasion when he plays a new-age caped crusader.
Like Weaver, Maher had been brought into Tatman's orbit by Sasha White, who says she began touting the Mogul project after Tatman promised her a finder's fee for lining up investors. A friend in California put the dentist in touch with White when he complained about the performance of his investments. "I was pissing and moaning about stocks and bonds and what I was going to do for the future," Maher says. "My friend said, 'I just got some material about an investment in Colorado.'"
Just a few days before the meeting with Weaver, Maher says Tatman took him on a tour of the Gold Hill Mill. At the time, ore from the Mogul was being processed in Gold Hill, and Maher says Tatman presented himself as an experienced miner who had recently sold a gold mine he had developed in Nevada for $50 million. There were three or four miners doing exploratory work in the Mogul when the dentist visited--"just enough miners to make it look legitimate," he says.
Maher says he was charmed by Tatman's vision of "environmentally sensitive" mining--rhetoric perfectly suited to an environmentalist looking for a lucrative investment. He told Tatman he was very interested in the Mogul Tunnel project.
What Maher didn't know was that Tatman had a record of promoting mines all over the western U.S.--and a history of leaving behind angry owners, investors and government officials.
Before he showed up in Colorado in the early 1990s, Tatman spent ten years doing business in Winnemucca, Nevada. In 1980 he leased several claims to the Alma mine from Lee York, a local man who soon found himself fighting Tatman both inside and outside the courtroom.
For years York was involved in litigation over the mine with Tatman, whom he calls "Tat Rat." York says Tatman claimed he owned the mine, and then sued York for defamation when he started telling people about his experience with the promoter. The two men didn't confine their dispute to the courthouse; according to York, in 1988 Tatman tried to run him over with a four-wheel-drive vehicle. At one point York--who claims that Tatman ran the mine from an office in a local bordello--says he even exchanged blows with his adversary.
"I invited him up to a meeting, and the bastard was dumb enough to come," he says. "I asked him, 'Who owns the Alma?' and he said, 'I do,' so I knocked him off the stool. He pulled his pants up to go for the pistol he kept in his boot, so I pulled my shotgun on him and walked over and knocked him over with the barrel of the shotgun."
Tatman had disputes with others in Nevada as well. After the federal Bureau of Land Management cited him for failing to clean up an abandoned mine site, Tatman wrote to the agency complaining that he was the target of a "vendetta" because his dog, Buffy, had defeated a BLM agent's dog in a Humane Society pet show.

Or, how about a JATO rocket ? (since we're venturing into the realm of urban legend anyway...)

swschrad Posts: 2,171ultrasonic repellents are proven duds. rockets and flamethrowers are high-maintenance in themselves, and will probably roast your Doc Martens one fine morning as you unlock the doors.
way back when, as a boy scout, a pair of raccoons swiped the bread bag overnight from under our tent and started in on it. shoo'ed them off.. and then decided to leave a final little treat. six fizzies wrapped up in a couple pieces of bread. the coons came back once, bumped and thumped down the trail after getting into my little surprise, and no further issues.
since fizzies are hard to get nowadays, try wrapping your hoses and lines in alka-seltzer. you'll surely be noticed when you splash through puddles
razor wire should also be good, but you will probably find an extra hour or two of labor on your vehicle on every service from an oil change to pounding the dents back out of your doors, hood, and replacing the glass that mysteriously shattered when the service advisor bent over to pick up the clipboard he dropped under the vehicle -
schweikb Posts: 111At this point there continue to be ocassional porcupine sightings, but no damage to cars in a long time. The neighborhood consensus is that it must be a seasonal thing that occurs in late spring. Hope so. I am the only one on the road who's had no damage. maybe they don't like my chioce of vehicles, my dog's barking, scent and excrement odor or maybe it's the territorial thing and I'm just past that invisible line in the clay. Hope so.

All seminars are in CASA 107.
The sessions last 60 minutes each and offer students opportunities to augment their study skills, improve time budgeting between class, job, and family, how to manage the stress of finals, and more.
Making an Appointment
All sessions can be scheduled by appointment on an individual or class basis. Visit the Academic Success Center upstairs in the Library/LRNC building or call 281.290.3279.
List of Seminars
Communication skills
Communication involves both verbal and non-verbal forms, speaking as well as listening. By developing effective communication skills, students will experience success in many aspects. This session will encourage students to build their communication skills by recognizing the elements of communication. It will also help students to identify poor communication and how they can avoid this trap.
Coping with finals
It goes without saying that finals can be very stressful for students. By learning some strategies to cope with finals, students can approach them with a confident and optimistic outlook. This session will give students the opportunity to formulate a "battle plan" for finals week.
Critical thinking
Critical thinking examines assumptions, discerns hidden values, evaluates evidence, and assesses conclusion. In any class for any assignment, critical thinking is an asset. In this session, students will exercise their critical thinking skills, review some common errors in judgment and gain some skills.
Dealing with stress
Students are frequently unaware that the top issue that blocks success is the effects of stress. Stress manifests itself in a variety of physical and emotional ways. In this session, students will gain an awareness of strategies for stress and anxiety reduction and compare their current practices with recommended strategies for stress and anxiety reduction.
Dollars and sense
Frequently students come to college without the basic financial skills they need to succeed independently. This session will cover basic money management skills, using credit wisely, and budgeting for better planning.
Effective reading strategies
Often students are surprised and intimidated by the amount of text book reading that instructors expect them to cover. Many are not even aware of how to read for retention of important information. This session will provide students with some strategies that they can employ to increase reading effectiveness and retention.
Grammar review
Frequently students need a refresher to review basic grammar rules. This interactive session will review the trickiest grammar topics that students often forget – parallel structure, pronoun-antecedent agreement, pronoun usage, apostrophe usage, comma use and clauses, misplaced and dangling modifiers, etc.
Graphic organizers for success
Graphic organizers are visual methods of representing information. Most students are visual learners. By utilizing graphic organizers, these students can more efficiently review, retain and apply academic information. This session will show students numerous graphic organizers.
Know your learning style
When mismatches exist in a class between a student's learning style and the teaching style of the professor, a student may become bored and inattentive in class, do poorly on tests, get discouraged about the courses, the curriculum, and him/herself, and in some cases change to another class or drop out of school. This session will help students to identify their learning styles and give them strategies for using that knowledge to their advantage in an academic setting.
Listening and observing
Frequently students get listening mixed up with hearing. Listening involves actively tuning into what is audibly happening. The same is true for observing versus seeing. This seminar will show students how to actively listen and observe in order to apply this knowledge to their success in the classroom.
Managing your time
Time management, like organization, helps students to arrange their lives to create an environment conducive to productivity. In this session, students will develop awareness of strategies for improved time management and assess their current personal time management strengths and weaknesses. At the end of this seminar, students should be able to create a personal study schedule and list of strategies for improved time management.
Maximizing memory
Memory is key to successful performance in an academic setting. During this session, students will develop awareness of strategies for memory and concentration improvement, compare current practices with recommended strategies for concentration and memory improvement, and create a personalized memory and concentration "toolbox" of change lists and useful exercises or strategies.
Note-taking made easy
Student will learn that note taking is an essential part of student success, particularly in a college setting. While instructors tend to rely only on oral teaching, the majority of students are visual learners. This means that in order to absorb the message, students should efficiently and accurately document what they hear and see. This seminar will give students the tools to more efficiently and effectively take notes, not matter what class.
Note-taking skills for math
This session covers all of the materials in "Note Taking Made Easy" in the context of note taking for math classes.
Organizational skills
Being organized is not the first priority to busy individuals, particularly busy students. In this session, students will gain resources for organizing their time, homes, and lives with the intention of giving them more space to focus on academics.
Powerful presentations
The number one fear is public speaking. If this is the case, students need to be given the resources to feel confident that any presentation that they will give will be powerful; thus, minimizing the fear they may feel. This session seeks to help students to identify what and how to present effectively in any situation.
Secrets of successful students
There are some things any student can do in order to improve his/her performance in college. This session covers a few of the "secrets" that successful students employ, even if the content seems impossible!
Setting goals and staying motivated
One of the keys to success is visualizing success. Setting goals can provide students with something to attain and aim toward in their studies. This session will help students learn to create goals, develop awareness of personal intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and develop strategies to improve personal intrinsic and extrinsic motivation towards those goals.
Study strategies
Utilizing effective study strategies must begin the first day of class. Students come equipped with all of the physical tools necessary for academic success, but frequently do not have the strategic tools they need – particularly, how to study. This session allows students to compare and contrast current study practices and habits with practices recommended for effectiveness and to improve study habits based on individualized modification of environment, duration, and practices.
Successful study groups
Study groups can be an excellent tool for students in college. However, if facilitated improperly, study groups can cause more harm than good. This session teaches students how to form cohesive study groups and how to keep them running smoothly and effectively.
Test-taking tips
Having strategies for taking different types of tests can improve student performance. By learning what is expected during a test, a student will gain confidence, which will trickle down into test performance and lessen anxiety. This session will give students information about different types of tests – objective, subjective, essay, multiple choice, etc. that will help them to plan for test day!

The boy was unresponsive when lifeguards pulled him from the pool at Bush Recreation Center and began emergency response procedures. He was transported to a local hospital, where he died over the weekend.

Plastic Bottle Initiative Helping to Green Athletic Facilities
For years, Americans have been encouraged to decrease our consumption of bottled water and use reusable beverage containers, cutting down on the number of plastic bottles that end up in landfills. Despite the efforts of various sustainability campaigns, the Beverage Marketing Corporation reported that bottled water consumption reached an all-time high in 2012 when Americans consumed 9.7 million gallons of water, 65 percent of that in the form of single-use disposable bottles.

Proper Cleaning and Maintenance for Hardwood Courts
A hardwood court is a big investment for any athletic facility. Like any big investment, organizations want to do whatever they can to take care of it. But when the people in charge of the court are unfamiliar with proper basic care, they tend to end up doing too much — or not enough. "With gym floors, there's so many misconceptions about what you're supposed to or not supposed to do because the floor is wood," says Bill Price Jr., national sport manger with Aurora, Colo.-based hardwood care specialist Bona. "The people who maintain floors have grown up with the notion that you can't put water on wood. For that reason, most gym floors get neglected. They don't get the proper maintenance because people are afraid."

On Tuesday, the White House announced a series of new initiatives as part of the fourth anniversary of the "Let's Move!" program. Many of them are a great step forward in the battle against childhood obesity and inactivity, including an expansion of the school breakfast program and a five-year partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association and Boys & Girls Clubs of America will provide 5 million children with healthy snacks and physical activity opportunities after school.

Blog: Women-Only Fitness Zones Perpetuate Stereotypes
Here at AB, it's the editors' job to stay on top of what's happening in the industries we serve. As such, last Friday I came across an article about a gym in Vancouver getting some flak for its decision to close its women-only section.

Blog: If You Can't Beat 'Em… Beat 'Em Up!
I was sitting in a hotel lobby surrounded by other people when I opened up my morning news alerts and saw an article announcing the Kentucky High School Athletic Associations' decision to suspend post-game handshakes, so I had to keep my disgust to a minimum - a casual eye roll and understated sigh. Seriously? These athletes are displaying poor sportsmanship, and the solution to that is to do away with the concept? That's like dropping math from the curriculum because the students aren't getting it.

Blog: Defending "The Slowest Generation"
Friday afternoon, when I should have been hard at work on AB's November issue, I instead found myself fuming over an article from Thursday's Wall Street Journal sent to me by our company owner. The article deemed younger athletes "The Slowest Generation," and accused my generation of being too apathetic about performance and competition.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Moe!
Facts about Moe
- Breed: Basset Hound/Beagle Mix
- Color: Unknown
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Moe's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi! My name is Moe!!! I came to the shelter with my brother (Eenie) and my sisters (Meenie and Miny). Our owners could no longer keep us!!!! We are super fun pups with lots of energy, but we also like to cuddle!!! We would make the perfect pet! Please come see us today!!
Other Pets at Humane Society of Independence County
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Moe, a Batesville Basset Hound/Beagle puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Basset Hound/Beagle for sale in Batesville, or seeking a Basset Hound/Beagle puppy from a breeder in Batesville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Batesville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Batesville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Basset Hound/Beagle breeders who help with Basset Hound/Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Batesville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Why not just turn an empty smaller pot upside down in the large pot? Or fill the bottom half of the large pot with those packing penuts that never seem to get to recycle.
I reuse the plastic container I bought the plant in. I just turn them upside down.
na, use water bottles or Styrofoam pieces you may have from packing from the tv or such...works great!
I never thought of using plastic pop bottles! great idea! thanks! I use bark but will have to try the bottle idea...
Why not us a "Cone of Shame" (Pet Cone) and duct tape the center. Â Poke a few holes in the thing for drainage & air? Â Those come in a myriad of sizes and can be bought at the same or lesser price?
We use rocks or pieces of wood. Doesn't make it lighter but same concept.
Use plastic bottles or pop cans that's what we do! Works great and it's already something you have!
Couldn't you buy the plant foam stuff for way less money and just cut it to size and poke some holes in it?

Follow-Up Postings:
Broke apart due to structural weakness. There is foliage in the way but otherwise looks like maybe it was topped or broke off due to natural causes in the past, and codominant side branches finally got heavy enough to tear off. Whether it was topped or not, it is an excellent demonstration of one of the reasons topping trees and then letting replacement tops grow tall afterward is a bad idea - result is the same as if it was topped and then split apart for that reason. Best idea is to not top the tree in the first place. |

Forecasters to predict slow hurricane season
New York (AP) -- Federal forecasters are expected to predict a slower than usual hurricane season this year.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will release on Monday the agency's outlook for the six-month storm season that begins June 1.
Forecasters got it wrong last year when they predicted an unusually busy hurricane season.
There were just 13 named storms and two hurricanes -- both of them a Category One -- and no major hurricanes with winds over 110 mph.
Colorado State University researchers have forecast nine named storms, with just three expected to become hurricanes and one major storm.
Officials also will roll out high-resolution maps that will show people where to expect storm surge. New York City officials will announce a new hurricane preparedness initiative.
Colorado State University researchers have forecast nine named storms in 2014, with just three expected to become hurricanes and one major storm with winds over 16 kph.

product details
A fully loaded Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module consists of eight SAS disks, with each disk connected to two SAS expanders. The SAS expanders, in turn, each connect to a larger SAS expander in one of the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System chassis' SAS-NEM. Each of the SAS expanders in the disk module connects to one SAS-NEM. For a fully functional combination of a server module with a disk module, two SAS-NEM modules are required. If only one SAS-NEM is used, the feature of multiple paths for SAS disks in the disk module is lost.

I pass by my TV on the way in and out of the room so I always turn the TV on and off by pressing the button on the TV. So I assume the DVR does not know that I turned it on (or off). This is why I would like the option to disable the screen saver. It's not 1984, 1994 or 2004, I don''t have a CRT TV!

There are many definitions of exigence, but the most useful for these purposes is Lloyd Bitzer's (1968), who defines exigence as "an imperfection marked by urgency; it is a defect, an obstacle, something waiting to be done, a thing which is other than it should be." According to a genre analysis conducted by Herring, Scheidt, Bonus and Wright (2004, p.1) of random blogs, most blogs are less about striving out for connectivity and more about self-expression. This means that the exigence for blogging most often is a desire to be heard rather than a desire to form a community. Just as pragmatism functions as a shift in paradigm, an alteration of attitude in our way of thinking, so too am I calling for a shift in perspective on blogging. I am not proposing any revolutionary way to use blogs from a technological point of view but rather just shifting our attitude, exigence, and subsequent use towards blogs – from self to community.
Blogging Now
Blogs serve many purposes in a writing class: they can serve as brainstorming spaces; they can serve as blank slates upon which students and textually and aesthetically create their own "identity" or ethos; they can be a space of professionalization; they can be a space for students to develop their tone and rhetorical awareness as writers. In every instance, students will receive some sort of feedback from an audience, known or unknown (Gocsik, 2011). If, as Jenkins et al. (2006) frame it, participatory cultures arise from the development and usage of interactive technologies, then blogs have been a fundamental interactive technology in the development of a participatory culture of expression in digital publics. Just in case those within computers and writing have not memorized the following passage of Jenkins et al.'s white paper yet, here reads his definition of a participatory culture:
A participatory culture is a culture with relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement, strong support for creating and sharing one's creations, and some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices. A participatory culture is also one in which members believe their contributions matter, and feel some degree of social connection with one another. (Jenkins et al, 2006, emphasis added)
The popularity of educational blogging in writing classrooms arises from the final claim that by using blogs we as writing teachers can begin to have our students believe in the meaning and importance of their writing. By straddling the ethical space between private voices and public digital spheres, and by teaching and composing within this space, student bloggers are able to feel a sense of meaning in their writing that is oftentimes lacking in assignments still colored by the lingering and powerful palette of academic discourse. As Jill Walker (2005) notes, blogs can "provide a chance for students to experience writing in a public space where their work can have real value both for their classmates and for a wider community" (112). Blogs can enable movement beyond the "classroom-only gated communities" (Lowe & Williams, 2005) typically experienced within Blackboard or WebCT writing environments. The pedagogical benefits of blogging have been discussed in depth by many (Barton, 2005; Brownstein & Klein, 2006; Glogoff, 2005; Lamb & Johnson, 2006; Penrod, 2007); in being able to cross the boundary between private and public, press a "Publish" button after they're done composing their opinion, and receive their very own URL, students can experience the feeling of what it is like to compose meaningful discourse in digital public spaces.
This feeling of meaning is very important for students, but many teachers and scholars are starting to see the limitation of just treating blogs as online journaling spaces to be shared – realistically – within a small community consisting of peers, teachers, and perhaps other groups on campus. The rhetorical exigence of public journaling still does not allow students to utilize the full rhetorical potential of blogs. Middlebrook (2010) argues that if we as compositionists wish to provide students with meaningful opportunities for writing, then "blogs should be perceived as a rich and flexible resource waiting to be wielded for the personal, intellectual, and vocational benefit of students." In this vein, Middlebrook, against the purely journalistic nature of educational blog use, argues for using blogs as a platform in educational settings for "developing students' disciplinary and professional identities." The importance of using blogs as passageways for individuals to enter into "public," more networked communities is reiterated by John Benson and Jessica Reyman (2009) in their honest depiction of using blogs in the writing classroom as agents for teaching students to understand Bruffee's (1984) call to understand writing as an inherently social activity. While their findings indicate that the vast majority of students did not expect to have their blogs publicly viewed by any other reader outside the immediate classroom context in which they were writing, Benson and Reyman still contend that "[c]lass blogs offer much potential for teaching network literacy." Even when the rhetorical exigencies of blog posting are challenged, the social function of blogging is still identified as "the ongoing construction of self in response to changing social and cultural conditions" (Lindgren, 2005).
Blogging Ethics
From an ethical standpoint, then, theories, pedagogies, and practices of blogging largely revolve around issues of privacy versus publicy, of the subject unabashedly entering into a state of public exposedness. As such, most ethical questions revolve around issues of privacy, identity construction, and professionalism. Miller and Shepherd (2005) argue that the rhetorical exigence of blogging is largely the need to connect with others:
Because the personal form of the blog is what seems to both motivate and satisfy the readers and writers of blogs and thus to have particular evolutionary survival value, we suspect that the generic exigence that motivates bloggers is related less to the need for information than to the self and the relations between selves. Understanding exigence as an "objectified social need" that functions as rhetorical motive (Miller, 1984, p. 157), then, we must characterize the generic exigence of the blog as some widely shared, recurrent need for cultivation and validation of the self; furthermore, in these particular times, we must locate that need at the intersection of the private and public realms, where questions about identity are most troubled.
Miller and Shepherd use the term "social action" to define the act of blog posting, largely because of the feeling of publicy bloggers experience when they post online, despite the fact that many posts go unread or unclicked by others. In this way, much like Peter Elbow's notion of "private writing," blogging can facilitate processes of self-validation and self-awareness merely through the expectation that one's writing can be read and now exists in digital public spaces. The value of the blogger being their own audience and the positive feelings associated with self-disclosure affords the blogger with a low-risk entry into online communities.
Over the years, however, coinciding with the spiked expansion of myriad social media interactive technologies, the value of blogging as merely sharing your voice online has waned. Blogging in many ways has become a much more difficult way to enter into online communities. McNely et al (2010) would argue that this is because the focus has been too much on casting the readership as "little more than voyeurs." To overcome this, different instantiations of blogging have recently arisen, including McNely et al's challenging of what blogging as a literate practice means. McNely et al. argue that ecological (Barton, 2005) models of blogging have stifled the genre and argue instead for re-envisioning blogging as being participatory in practice. The experience they outline is that of a group of students, professionals, and teachers who consistently blog around a common interest, engaging in "knowledge work" (Spinuzzi, 2006) that is more participatory and puts more focus on audience participation in the blogging practice. While this method does encourage a more participatory approach, the authors still admit that one of the most exciting parts of the experience was when they would trace the Google Analytics and see the overwhelming amount of unique page visits. Here, the exigence, while more collaborative and participatory and genre-expanding, still rests on the interests of the individual relevancy.
These articulations of the potential uses of blogs in the writing classroom echo the way teachers in our field typically understand the rhetorical exigence of blogs: the cultivation and validation of the self in digitally public ways within the ethical framework of negotiating the intersection, indeed the conflation of private student voices and the digital publics. Such perspectives align with the framework of individual or groups of students entering into pre-existing networking communities so as to develop "access and mastery" (Jenkins, 2006) of digital literacy skills that will help ensure that they are the youth that will succeed and not "be left behind as they enter school and the workplace" (p. 3). The rhetorical exigence for blogging is in many ways the necessity for self-advancement in highly-networked, digital "prosumer" cultures relevant to their field, interests, or profession. It implies that effective public writing is that which accumulates the most hits, that students become effective writers when they use the platforms designed to enable participatory cultures to succeed in capitalistic enterprises. Yet, one still gets the feeling that the exigencies of blogs are quite simply "stuck": thousands upon thousands of deserted public spaces with thumbnail self-portraits uploaded from Facebook , timestamps from 4 months previous, 50-word bios and descriptions of Summer vacations, movie reviews, responses to course readings, and personal definitions of rhetoric now clutter the "public square" where the meaningful and connective webspace creations of well-intentioned, highly-motivated writing course students were once expected to exist and blossom, jumpstart careers, and pay for next semester's textbooks by accumulating 0.02 cents per visit.
Blogging Dewey
I am seeking to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of blogging and argue that educational blogging is a lively form of online writing, which if used wisely can stimulate students' enthusiasm, and facilitate the possibility of multiple types of participation in what Henry Farrell (2005) calls the blogospheric "carnival of ideas." By "carefully assessing [blogs'] strengths and weaknesses, […we] are learning to set guidelines and expectations to maximize the benefits of blogs" (EduCause, 2005, p.2) One of the weaknesses of educational blogging and the reason why many teachers have reached a stalemate with integrating blogs into their courses is because of the narrow formulation of exigencies. How can we re-conceive of blogs as something other than stability of the self or development of personal ethos? Can blogs serve other purposes for students in realistic terms? Does this change the nature of the blog too much? Is the very technicality of the blog limiting in its ethical capabilities? What are some unique ways to use blogs in the classroom that doesn't construct blogs as spaces of the self? The problem is the ethical correlate of typical blogging exigencies; the problem is assigning positive correlation between good writing and a wide audience, when in reality if anyone should know this to be a false correlation it is those within the digital humanities. The problem is that the rhetorical exigencies have revolved around the individual. Couched in Deweyan terminology, what would happen if blogs were conceived as instruments or tools of the local community rather than tools of self-advancement?
Technology plays a significant part in Deweyan ethics simply because for Dewey technology has the potential to tear down traditional dualistic ways of thinking. Dewey's main if not only methodology concerning technology is that technology "acts as the knife that cuts the boundaries between the inner and the outer, the psychical and the physical, the ideal and the real" (Hickman, 1990, p. 60). I argue that we can use technology to cut across the academic versus community boundaries that have been erected, much the same way blogging has to this point completely shredded the boundary between public and private. Blogs, if they are indeed artifacts with significances to be enriched, serve as the basis for traversing these boundaries as they have done in the past. Ultimately, this pragmatist critique of technology can help productively explore the possible connections between civic engagement pedagogies and interactive social media technologies.
Dewey's broad definition of technology, in which "artifacts" can encompass ideas, cars, and fingers, allows for a breaking free from traditional ontological or categorical placements. For Dewey, "instrumentalism" was the use of technology in the process of inquiry. As such, any "artifact" that facilitated human experience in some way or another could be considered technological (Dewey, 1958, p. 301). While Dewey's articulation of instrumentalism frustrates those who study the history of technology (i.e., Barrett, 1978), viewing artifacts in this manner allows one to enter into an alternative to the entities that have traditionally been placed in compartments labeled "physical," psychical," and "metaphysical."
Consider the bare possibility that tools and works of art give the key to the question at hand: that works and tools of art are precisely the sought-for alternative to physical, psychical and metaphysical entities. On this possibility, the ignoring of the characteristic features of this kind of thing is responsible for the unsettled and persistent controversy. Manufactured articles do not exist without human intervention; they do not come into being without an end in view. But when they exist and operate, they are just as realistic, just as free from dependence upon psychical states (to say nothing of their now being psychical states) as any other physical things…They are simply prior natural things reshaped for the sake of entering effectively into some type of behavior. (Dewey, 1916-17, p. 92)
Conceivably, then, blogs are neither public nor private spaces. Rather, blogs are artifacts or instrumentalities or tools that enable one's methodological inquiry into something. Inquiry is always evaluated in direct respect to the common good: that is, a well-oiled society uses artifacts to serve positive social functions. If the purpose of education is indeed the betterment of the community, then educational uses of blogs would follow suit. Blogs can also serve to break down the traditional divides between classroom and community by not focusing on where it is taking place but rather what it is doing. While typical uses of blogs can promote individual achievement and have positive use-value in that respect, from a Deweyan standpoint we should be asking how blogs can serve as many functions as possible (with one of those being social betterment of the local community). This can be seen as a challenge to educational blogging, and further as a challenge that we should consider the ethical implications of blogging as an educational tool and the message that is being conveyed in the typical structuring of exigence.
Ideally, the rhetorical exigence of blogs would not be based upon the individualistic needs of the student user but rather on the "felt needs" of the local community. Blogs are artifacts that are developed out of an experience students have with the community – an act of engagement, a transaction. A Deweyan ethic directs the students' moral obligation to the local community and not to networked participatory publics that can be devoid of any attachments to a physical location. (This is not to say that interactive technologies have not helped benefit the community; students have done excellent jobs doing this.) In contrast to the argument for expanding participatory culture through social media platforms, I argue for expanding participatory culture through community experience by having students use blogs as socially responsible web spaces that manifest from a "felt need" they have experienced in their local community. While cultural connections are being made in outward-facing online networks, the connections between the university and the local community that supports it are deteriorating. The digital participatory ethic is an important concept to teach; yet, for Dewey, it is important to teach students to whom they have an ethical obligation. In my case, the taxpayers in Tampa and Florida as a whole are not reaping the benefits of investing into their students' education. I ask, to what extent has our focus on digital participation neglected the ethical obligation students have to localized community participation? How can the needs of the community be used as a cause, an exigence for blogging? Sociotechnological platforms have the potential to connect civic engagement pedagogies and blogging through redirecting their purpose.
[Dewey] argued that technological progress…be measured in terms of the degree to which the significance of artifacts is enriched. Such enrichment is the result of increased ability to substitute one thing for another or one meaning for another, for the purpose of enhanced pro-duction and con-struction. (Hickman, 1990, p84)
What I am calling for is not necessarily a different "genre," but rather a different exigence: blogs can be created from experiencing the other, by locating a need within the community and using webspace responsibly to educate, inform, and argue for social action. While I acknowledge the value of blogging in pedagogical contexts as a way for students to cultivate the self in public ways, if we are to ever harness the full potential of blogs there needs to be a shift away from self-centered models of rhetorical exigence and a move towards the expanding -- and ultimately re-purposing -- of blogs in a pedagogical context as more socially-responsible spaces. These spaces have rhetorical exigences based upon the social needs of the community and the ethical obligation of students and teachers to connect digital literacy skills to the explicit betterment of the local community. My intent is not to completely change the way we blog but rather try and extend its rhetorical purposes and complexity -- to push beyond genres and explore their full uses, by shifting the rhetorical exigencies that characterize blogs and subsequently challenging students' conceptions of the function and purposes of their education.

Not quite true.
ANY receiver without a DECA and on the same SWiM [think SD] needs to have the filter.
Yup, the HR20-100 needs a BSF with a DECA, all other non-24 receivers need a DECA or BSF on a SWM with DECA anywhere. Once you think about it, it makes perfect sense.
p.s. This includes a SWM with an Hx24 attached that doesn't have an Ethernet attached... its onboard DECA is perfectly capable of disrupting another receiver on the SWM, even if it's just 'polling' for another DECA. Perhaps a reason D* only wants to give 24's to DECA customers.

The California law known as Proposition 8 is scheduled to be back before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco Thursday as justices consider several lingering issues of the case.
The measure, passed by California voters last year, says marriage is between a man and a woman and bans same-sex marriage.
Opponents of gay marriage are trying to overturn a judge's ruling against Proposition 8, which set aside the gay marriage ban. They argue that the judge, a homosexual involved in a same-sex relationship, was biased when he ruled the law unconstitutional.
The appeals court is also expected to address whether Prop 8 supporters have the legal right to press the appeal without support from the Golden State's top officials. The state's supreme court has already ruled in their favor.
Court watchers believe Prop 8 could eventually wind up before the U.S. Supreme Court, which may force it to rule on the issue of same-sex marriage.

PLANT CITY, Fla. — Retailers should plan large promotions to help sell a glut of Florida strawberries expected to hit the market in mid-March.
Grower-shippers expect this season's crop to rebound with higher than normal volumes after freezing weather in January.
Gary Wishnatzki, president and chief executive officer of Wishnatzki Farms, said his company expects to ship its highest volume ever in March. Temperatures are forecast to increase to the mid-70s the week of March 8, and Wishnatzki said grower-shippers plan to ship significantly higher volumes of berries by the middle of the month.
Last year in mid-March Wishnatzki Farms picked around 242 crates an acre a week. This year, he said he expects to pick 329 crates an acre the week of March 15 and up to 400 crates an acre during the week of March 22.
"It is imperative for the industry to have major promotions from mid-March on," Wishnatzki said in early March. "In order for growers to be able to continue picking their crop and make it through Easter, they will have to have some very heavy promotions for the week of March 15. If you look at a production graph, it's like a rocket ship with a straight line going up. In comparing last year's ramp up as a gentle hill, this year, it will be like climbing Mount Everest."
Though he called prices "all over the board," Chris Smith, sales manager for BBI Produce Inc., Dover, said Florida prices have remained favorable for March production.
On March 1, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported demand exceeding supply at lower prices for central Florida production.

I lost power and tried pulling the red cord to open my garage door. Then the power did come back on. I have a Craftsmen 1/2 hsp opener and don't know how to engage the track to the mechanism to open the door now. I moved into the house last year and the previous owners didn't give me the book on it. Help!!! |

if it does not latch just by closing the door, then just hit the opener button, it will snap back into place as it comes up. at my house i have to do this on 1 door, the other GD will seat fully just by pulling the door down and i have not had time to readjust so that both close and relatch on their own. |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 2, 08 at 14:18
If it is a newer model the latch locks in the open position. Pull straight down on the rope and release and then do as davidandkasie said. |
