I'm a kind lady with a love of literature and adventure. I have been fortunate enough to turn my passion for learning into a career and I love it! Traveling is another passion of mine, and I've gotten the chance to see all sorts of neat places and experience different cultures. I think the more of the world and its people you see, the better your piece of the universe becomes. I love playing and watching soccer. It's such a passionate game. Anything else you'd like to know, just ask. I'm an open book.

Twin-Tone Tape Testing
Distortion in magnetic recording is generated by the nonlinearity of the tape's transfer function VO = f (Vi). This function is shown for an unbiased and an AC-biased tape in figures 1 and 2 respectively. The overall gain is assumed to be 1 (= 0 dB). The biased tape transfer function can be approximated by the mathematical expression: VO = Vi - c Vi3.

New Math Curriculum Plans Head to House
WUIS Radio
April 25, 2012
By Rachel Otwell
A proposal that would require the Illinois State Board of Education to develop a new math curriculum for school districts passed a House committee today.
When the proposal was considered earlier this year, the talk was about requiring high school students to take math for four years instead of the current three. But Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon, who backs the plan, says most schools already require four years. Simon says the new proposal includes high schools and middle schools.
LT. GOV. SIMON: "The smarter idea that we have after consulting with the State Board, many educators and administrators, is that we can set up a model curriculum that school districts can adopt, can measure against, can mold to fit what works in their district."
The measure already passed the Senate and now goes to the full House.

A big DUH! and the Republicans are wrong again
STUDY: Repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Had No Impact On Military Readiness
Yet, the Republicans want to reinstate DADT.
From the link:
Here's what the study found about the impact of gay, lesbian, and bisexual troops serving openly:
�Repealing DADT has had no overall negative impact on military readiness, including cohesion, recruitment, retention, assaults, harassment, or morale.
�Greater openness and honesty post-repeal may have actually increased understanding, respect, and acceptance.
�Recruitment has remained robust.
�Retention was unaffected by repeal. Only two individuals' departure can be tied to repeal, both military chaplains.
�There has been no increase in violence within units; in fact, many harassment disputes can now be resolved in ways that were not possible when servicemembers could not disclose their sexual orientation.
�Unit morale was not impacted, except on the individual level depending on a servicemember's personal position on the issue of DADT.
�LGB servicemembers did not come out en masse
Here is a link that might be useful: Duh!
There was to be violence rape mayhem countless officers would resign. In defense of the few not every elected repug believed it though there was that promise to go back to the good old days of marginalizing a few good people.It was more the AFA & FRC turds that were the most virulent in their assaults. I can't wait to see Bryan Fischer this weekend at the voter values summit he has always been a flame thrower against Romney
I guess I'm not responding because Clinton is the one who passed DADT. Maybe what is going on now is from republicans in office, but it's his legislation. I don't see any point in defending what was wrong then or what is wrong now. Why bother talking about it. It's wrong from beginning to end.
I believe in full right for gays for everything. But I also don't see myself in the group against whom the mud is being slung. The above crap is wrong, but I don't believe in everything republicans do, any more than democrats believe everything democrats do is right. At least, I would hope that not everyone agrees with their party all of the time.
That, and this is one of those "trolling" posts. Or at least it'd be called out as that if the tables were turned.
There was to be violence rape mayhem...
I don't know why these anti-DADTs were so concerned about rape. The Pentagon estimates that 19,000 servicewomen were raped in 2010 and that most of the rapes are not reported because commanding officers (some of whom are the rapists) minimize the complaint and complainers are often given a psychological discharge.
Oh, wait. I get it. These are women who are being raped. The whackadoodles are only worried about men being raped.
Here is a link that might be useful: Don't blame the victim (unless the victim is female)
Kate might.
I do have to wonder who actually backs them. Where are they in my non-cyber world? Who are they? I never once meet up with anyone who even sorta thinks like that. At least no one who verbally expresses thoughts like that. I hear the rest, but extreme stuff? Obscure stuff? I'd love to talk with one and get a better understanding how they came to those kinds of conclusions. It's mind-boggling, and I might understand them more. Doubt it?
Why bother talking about it.
Rob - I think it's important to talk about because it's part of the Republican platform to reinstate DADT. I think it's important to point that out. I think it's important people know what they are voting for. You are correct that almost nobody agrees with their party 100% of the time. But, when it comes to basic human rights, I would find it very difficult to support a party that is he11 bent on not supporting those rights.
I think I meant "What's the point of discussing it if we all agree." Unless someone speaks up? We'll just agree it's pointless to reinstate DADT. Not that someone wanting to reinstate it isn't notable. It is noteworthy. I just can't see it A) happening or B) who it is that would really do it.
Basic Human rights. I don't think I'm into denying anyone basic human rights. But as an American, I find freedom a more basic right than many things. Freedom from tyranny fo the masses or from government mandated things, for instance. I think all people are into having human rights, not a leftist ideal at all. Fringe idiots are fringe idiots. They want to infringe on all ideals as much as they can get away with. I think those idiots are few and far between. That's what I meant when I said, what's to talk about?
Oh, I see. Yes, I agree, not much to discuss when we all agree :-)
My point is that one major political party put in their platform to reinstate DADT. Do you think they wouldn't do it if they had control of the White House and Congress? I don't see this issue as only fringe idiots wanting to do it. It's in the platform.
I wouldn't put anything past those who are still in the "party" these days. Those few who block all legislation and try to bully others come to mind. You know of whom I speak. Unless someone else wants to speak up?
But as to the everyday common Americans backing it? Nope. I don't think they're following their constituents at all. I don't know of anyone who thinks gays don't deserve rights and I live in the buckle of the bible belt. What I think the constituents find important aren't getting addressed in the Party.
But then, aren't all Americans impotent in what's going on, spinning our wheels in the mire? I don't think anyone knows where to start. What's worked before isn't working anymore.
Well, I think public opinion has changed on DADT and on gay marriage in the last few years. Just a few years ago, I had conversations with people about gay marriage and they were totally against it. They thought I was crazy for saying "why do you care? what does it have to do with you?" Had the same conversation with one of those people just recently and he's changed. He's fine with gay marriage. Mostly. I still think it makes him uncomfortable, but he's getting there.
So, perception is changing, but the party is not keeping pace. And they won't as long as the extremists are controlling the message. And as long as people continue to vote for the party, ignoring large parts of their platform, there's no reason for them to change.
Well said, Jill... and I find nearly the same thing to be true.
Change often takes time... even when we're taking about our fellow human beings, and how people view or treat one another. Many fear or dislike that which they don't understand or know about... but in this case, I think religion and extremism has played a very large role in NOT allowing public opinion to change quick enough.
Just the amount of intolerance still out there says a lot. Republicans might do well to dump off the extremists at the next exit.

Paul Chaney | March 24, 2014 | Comments
Marketing to people who have similar interests may carry a greater value proposition than marketing to those who don't, even though they may be socially connected.
One secret to marketing successfully via social media is to focus on people's shared interests and passions, or what is known as the "interest graph."
For example, although Pinterest could be considered a social network, it doesn't rely on the "social graph" - the network of personal connections - as the impetus for activity that takes place on the site, but the interest graph instead.
Put another way, if the social graph is a "sociogram" that maps people and their relationships, an interest graph is an "infogram" that maps people and their interests.
Just because my Facebook friend is wild about funny cat videos doesn't mean that I also have a penchant for the furry creatures. (Maybe that's a bad example. I mean, how can you not like cat videos, right?)
On the other hand, even though I may not know a person based on a social connection, a shared interest can bind us together in meaningful ways. As such, marketing to people who have similar interests carries a greater value proposition than marketing to those who don't, even though they may be socially connected.
An outstanding example of how to do this is a campaign using Pinterest run by online retailer Land's End. Called "Pin It to Win It," the brand asked followers to browse its LandsEndCanvas.com website and pin their favorite items to Pinterest pinboards for a chance to win gift cards valued at $250.
Land's End promoted the contest on Facebook and highlighted winning pinboards there as well. In this instance, the area of shared interest was not just the clothes, but also the brand itself.
The approach Land's End took was very campaign-specific, but it doesn't always have to be that way. Tying unique hashtags to ongoing marketing activities or special events is another way for this to work.
It is the interest graph that should guide your marketing, rather than the social graph. After all, we rarely buy anything simply because some friend we knew from high school did. Recommendations from people who we may not be connected to socially, but who share our interests and passions can carry much more weight.
In scientific terms, this is referred to as "homophile," which is psychobabble for "birds of a feather flock together." Simply put, people tend to gravitate toward others who share their interests – and that presents a marketing opportunity.
Here are five simple ways you can use the interest graph to advance your social media marketing agenda:

Need Help New Construction Windows
jt127October 30, 2012
Hi. I am building a 900 square feet lake home in Kentucky. It is a small house, and my budget is limited. However, I want to make a good choice on windows. There are so many brands and options, and I have no experience in this area. Quality and energy efficiency seem like the two important factors, in addition to price. I like the look of color on the outside and wood inside. However, that is only a taste preference. Sincere thanks in advance for everyone's advice and recommendations.

I think Smart Ranger's point dovetails quite nicely with the post. Easily collected metrics are unlikely to be useful, whereas on the ground judgement, (implicitly fueled by hard to quantify and difficult to collect metrics) will be the most useful in areas without much infastructure.
And to the post, yes, not very impressive. I guess they forgot to hire some freakonomicists?

I tripped across this blog post by Jeff Smith and I have to say, this man has been scarred by what has to be the worst experience interacting with a DBA I have ever heard of. And Jeff, if this is not fiction, if this is real and you have really suffered this much – give us a call won't you?
Guy Bowerman has published on Informix Application Development, the 37th edition of Log Buffer, the weekly compendium of database blogs.
I enjoyed the event and the venue very much. The presentations very generally very good, and to my surprise some of them were somewhat lighter than I would expect. However, that might actually play positively in extending the audience — there are only so many freaks interested only in hardcore performance and internals.
We welcome back for a second time Lisa Dobson, who has published the 36th edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs, on the Oracle Newbies Blog.
I was reading a couple of items on gapingvoid which inspired me to use our blog for a conversation with our customers (and with potential Pythian DBAs) about what it's like to work with Pythian. What exactly does an on-site DBA get from working with Pythian Remote DBAs? Find out here.
Pythian has been a rapidly expanding company over the ten months I've been here. About a dozen new employees have come on during that time, making the total 40. I have a few observations on habits and qualities new DBAs can bring to their jobs.
Your common-cold-bedeviled editor tardily submits the 35th edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs, for your perusal.
Welcome to the 34th edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of the database blogosphere.
In a story that we've been following a long, long time, Oracle finally succumbed to multi-core pricing pressure today.
So you have swallowed the standby bait. You have used RMAN duplicate to create a sparkling new standby and things are looking rosy. Then, when you check the lag between the primary and standby (in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE mode), you discover the standby is miles behind. Oracle (at least from 9iG) rides to the rescue again. The parameter ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET tells Oracle to make sure to switch a log every n seconds.

This is my favorite mascara to date. It lengthens, separates, and adds volume to my lashes. Definicils is definitely not a curling mascara but I still love it. I get beautiful results with every use. Definicils is definitely worth the price.

I adore this mascara. The most common question I hear from ladies is "Do you have fake lashes on?!"
Well, first of all.. I am blessed with very thick/long lashes. When I use brands that provide volume, my lashes end up a sticky mess. When I pair Definicils with a good curler and some CilsBooster XL, I get long, separated, gorgeous doll eyelashes. Can't get enough of this stuff.

This is my favourite high end mascara. The packaging is very elegant and clean and the brush is perfect for getting every lash. It's easy to build up the product at the base of the lashes, and the colour is quite an inky black. The curling power on this mascara isnt fabulous but I'm willing to deal with that seeing as how thick this mascara makes my lashes. I'm on my second tube and intend to re-purchase after I've finished my some of my other mascaras.

This mascara gave me a more natural look than many other mascaras i've used. It applies better when your eyelashes are wet which is hard but I still like it when I apply it normally. Great looking package thats very slim and you can fit it in almost any makeup bag or purse. I love that its not so crazy colored or shped like other packaging for mascara. I will for sure buy this again but maybe try another color.

Hmmm.... I used to use this years ago and stopped and now I remember why! It is very wet and makes a mess. Sure it gives you length but I think there are other mascaras that do the same thing and aren't as wet and smear all over the place.

An adult friend had given me this mascara when I was thirteen. It was her favorite and it was an extra she had not opened. I used it everyday till a friend actually stole it. I could never afford it at the age so I'm 18 now and I bought it for 31$ It it a natural lengthening mascara. I've actually gotten away with pretending they were my real eyelashes. It does not hold a curl though. Also I realized it was really bugging my conact lenses which I wear everyday. It made them dry..Its a great mascare if you don't wear contacts. I loved it but won't be repurchasing for this reason. The packaging is very...Sexy. :)

This product just does not enhance your lashes. Does not make them thicker or longer. There are much better product out there. Diorshow, Bare Minerals curling formula.

I've been dedicated to this mascara for over 15 years now.
Lashes look natural and full all day and no flaking. You can add 2-3 coats and it does not clump or get that spiky lash look.

I tried this mascara on its own and hated it. It didn't hold a curl and made my lashes clumpy. However, I tried layering it on top of another mascara (Cover Girl Lash Blast 24 HR) and LOVED the results. It made my lashes look significantly longer, darker, and thicker. I have never had a mascara that has given me results like this. If you don't have luck using it on its own, try layering it with another one.

This product does lengthen lashes, but it seems to do so by killing the curl I put in them and straightening them. It often leaves them clumped together so that I have to use a lash comb to separate them. It doesn't flake as much as other mascaras, but makes lashes look stiff. When I try to comb out clumps, I'm sometimes left with spotty application of the product along single lashes, making it obvious that I'm wearing mascara.

Ronda Rousey takes down Triple H at WrestleMania
The biggest surprise of WrestleMania 31 came at the end of the third hour, when UFC champion Ronda Rousey showed up out of nowhere, joining The Rock in the center of the ring to beat the heck out of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Between John Cena's triumph over Rusev and the match between Bray Wyatt and Undertaker, The Authority came to the ring to tell everyone just how great they are. Just as Triple H was telling the fans that he owns each and every one of them and that there was nothing they could do about it, The Rock's music hit, and the Brahma Bull walked down to the ring. As if the crowd weren't already on his side, Rock pointed out to everyone that he was born in the Bay Area before challenging Triple H to a fight.SB Nation q

Garage door opener sensors: a question of alignment
I have a Sears garage door opener that is about 14 years old. It has worked well over that time but occasionally, the sensors that prevent closure if something is blocking the door get out of alignment and have to be adjusted. I have always been able to do that until now. I have some construction going on in the house and the workmen piled stuff in the garage and knocked the sensors out of kilter. I have tried and tried to realign them without success. Any suggestions for how to do this? Thanks!
I am having the same problem with a Stanley Quiet drive, that was installed nearly 14 years ago.
It opened just fine this morning but now it won't close because the sensor just keeps beeping and thinks that something's in the way, but there's nothing there. I've unplugged the unit thinking that that might help but it didn't.
I am also unable to manually close the door since the cord nearly ripped off when I tried to pull it to release the door from the opener. I can reach the unit & tried to release it without using the cord but it won't budge.
The beeping is coming from one side and I noticed that when I wriggled one of the wires, the red light flashed in unison with my wriggling. I did not see a light on the other unit, as was previously suggested.
We got our first real snowfall here and I really don't want to leave the door opened all night.
P.S. I'm sorry that this forum appears to be mostly about garage door openers but the was the most active place that I could find to ask for help as I'm unable to locate the manual and don't think I should have to pay $7.50 to download something I already own but can't find--which I'm sure will miraculously appear once the problem's been corrected.
Thanks Don. I was away from home the past week, so could not try your suggestion until last night when I returned. I had not noticed that there were lights on both the sensors, the one on the receiver was not easy to see. After investigating, I found the light, but it was not on. I pulled the connecting wire off and inspected the pins. One was bent. Looks like someone pulled the wire and when they put it back, did not pay attention to the pins. Once I straightened the bent pin and reinserted the plug, the light came on and the garage door closed as it is supposed to. Hurray! Really appreciate your help, Don.
To BetsyPanda, don't know if you have the same problem, but I would carefully check the wiring. Good luck!
