What's the Story on Learning Styles?

We have this tendency in higher education to throw babies out with bath water. It derives from dualistic thinking. Either something is right or wrong, it's in or out, up or down. As mature thinkers, we disavow these dichotomous perspectives, but then find their simplicity hard to resist. They make complicated things easy.
Case in point: learning styles. Since they first arrived with their proposition that students take distinctly different approaches to learning and whose "styles" can be detected with easily administered instruments, they have generated great interest. Learning styles appear to explain something we've experienced as teachers and learners in terms of the different ways people learn. Learning style instruments proliferated, supported by a large research enterprise. One review references 63 different instruments.
Then several years ago, we started seeing articles that challenged the validity of learning styles (see Pashler, et.al for an example). The Pashler et.al literature review did not find empirically valid evidence connecting learning styles with instructional methods and better learning outcomes for students with that style when compared to students with other styles. And so, challenged empirically and questioned in several widely referenced articles, learning styles are now out.
Any number of us have had our doubts about learning styles. The instruments that detect, name, and classify these various approaches to learning just seemed too straightforward. How can there by only two or even four styles? And how can every learner fit neatly into one of those boxes? We also worried about how students responded to them. "I'm a visual learner," one told me, "I don't do textbooks." A certain learning style then excuses one from other learning modalities?
However, what's left standing is one unarguable fact: People do not all learn in the same way. Some of us always read the instructions first and others of us just start putting it together. Richard Felder, widely known for his work in engineering education and a teaching and learning scholar I hold in the highest esteem, shared "Are Learning Styles Invalid? (Hint: No)," a piece that carves a space between the extreme positions on learning styles.
He begins with a definition. "A learning style model specifies a small number of dimensions that collectively provide a good basis for designing effective instruction." In other words, a designated learning style is not a complete portrait of a learner, but something closer to an outline with main points and few supporting details. He continues: "They are neither infallible guides to student behavior nor made-up constructs with no basis in reality but simply useful descriptions of common behavior patterns."
"Learning styles are not mutually exclusive categories but preferences that may be mild, moderate or strong." This explains the wide variation among learners with the same learning styles. In fact, there's not two, four, or six learning styles, but numberless individual variations when prior knowledge, experience, and skill level are factored into the learning style equation.
Can a teacher design instruction that addresses all these individual differences? Of course not. "The point is not to match teaching style to learning styles but rather to achieve balance, making sure that each style preference is addressed to a reasonable extent during instruction." The most powerful message of the learning styles movement is that content must be delivered in different ways. Moreover, variation in instructional methods develops a broad range of learning skills. "… learning styles provide no indication of what the students are and are not capable of, nor are they legitimate excuses for poor academic performance." Students may have a learning preference, but that is not the only way they can learn, nor should it be the only way they are taught.
There's one last enduring message to be taken from the debate about learning styles. Addressing the learning needs of students is way more complicated than most of us assumed. "The ideal balance among learning style categories depends on the subject, level, and learning objectives of the course and the backgrounds and skills of students." That's a problem we should be working to solve but without expecting one "right" answer.

Thank you for post this entry. I hope ever faculty member I've even met reads it and take it to heart.
Steve Froikin | April 30, 2014
Thanks for the discussion. I've heard the debate and, in my experience, both sides are right and both sides are wrong. Here's how I see it. Learning style is not just a variable connected to a learner. It is a variable connected to learning content. For example, no one is going to learn how to dance from reading a description of dancing. You just have to get up and practice it! People are not going to learn how to write through auditory channels. And so on. As a designer, you have to consider whether the learning style matches the content first. Then consider what differences might come up for individual learners. It may be that multiple channels will work better than a single one.
InstrucDesigner | April 30, 2014
It seems like you might be confusing learning styles and instructional strategies.
Gelene Thompson | April 30, 2014
I agree, Steve. So much of what students need to learn is about "how" to do things intermixed with "knowledge" about what they are learning to do. We need to use more than one method of instruction for most topics. That's one of the things I enjoy most about teaching – the variety and creativity needed to really help students learn also keeps the topic fresh for the instructor at the same time.
@BillyStrean | April 30, 2014
This is an important topic (I'm biased as I have a paper in review that explores the topic thoroughly). Although this is a fair-minded portrayal, my sense is that "learning styles" have done far more harm than good. Absolutely it is important to recognize that not everyone learns the same way. Yes it is great if something gets teachers to teach in a variety of ways. Yet, the vast majority of times people talk about learning styles it is part of self-handicapping (e.g., "I'm a visual learner, so I can only learn in this limited way").
@Patreids | April 30, 2014
One major point I raise when working with faculty on the concepts of learning styles is that we teach in a variety of modes, styles, and approaches NOT just to appeal to all students, but ALSO to support students in strengthening their ability to learn in other ways.
umesh mathur | April 30, 2014
the learning curve cannot be considered as digital, it is surely analogue that adds to the beauty and stability to it. there are ough edges but for smoothing them we professors are required
geoffcain | April 30, 2014
Oh good, instructors can just go back to one-way dumps of information via the lecture method and online classes can go back to being pdf libraries
Neil Haave | April 30, 2014
I think Billy's comment above and the comment in Maryellen's article are so true – students (& instructors?) use learning styles as an excuse to not avail themselves of the different resources and modalities available for learning. I encountered the same example last year when a student informed me that she could not do the homework (the reading assignment) because she was not a visual learner. I helped her figure out a way to attend to the issue and in the process she improved another one of her learning strategies. And I guess this is the take home message of this blog entry – students, learners, may have prefered modes of learning, but this does not mean that we cannot learn or improve other learning approaches.
I think the most important contribution to teaching and learning that consideration of learning styles has provided is the impetus for teachers to not teach using only one educational strategy and to consider weaving active learning activities into class meetings so that it is no longer only lecturing.
@furchner | April 30, 2014
Thank you for writing this! The belief that students can only learn in one way still seems to be pretty entrenched in the educational establishment. When I taught an academic skills course a few years ago, part of the curriculum included having students discover "their" learning styles. I rebelled, and instead I had them learn different materials using different styles, emphasizing that THEIR toolkit would be much larger and more flexible if they practiced and experimented with learning using several channels for input. After all, when they enter the world of work, telling the following to one's boss probably won't fly (unless they have a documented hearing disability): "I'm sorry, but I'm a visual learner. If you only talk when you tell to me how to do something, I just can't possibly absorb it that way. Please write it down. With pictures." Students will have a greater chance of success if they develop multiple ways of absorbing and understanding information.
Neil Haave | April 30, 2014
Jenny Franklin | May 1, 2014
THANKS FOR THIS THOUGHTFUL PIECE, MARYELLEN! My experience is it a lot easier to explore the topic if we "deconstruct" a term that is so often confounded with this concept: individual differences that most likely make a difference in learning outcomes with differing instructional approaches." IF we can get the idea of "styles" in a useful perspective as only one dimension of difference, we can more readily talk about what research tells us about put some very important differences such as aspects of personality vs cognitive styles vs preferences for modes of presentation. That's a pretty crude slice compared to the many kinds of differences with instructional implications, but it would be a good start for the sake of accuracy, clarity and maybe even a zone of proximal development approach for folks who are researchers in fields outside of education as well as teachers. The research when parsed with a more diferentuated way of describing learners is fascinating AND useful.
Laura S | May 1, 2014
I think the point of the article is that it all works together: "The most powerful message of the learning styles movement is that content must be delivered in different ways. Moreover, variation in instructional methods develops a broad range of learning skills. "
Stewart | May 4, 2014
Take an invalid instrument to measure a student's approach to learning (is there a single styles inventory with acceptable reliability or even face validity?), add a failure to find evidence for the successful matching of modality styles to teaching strategies to produce higher levels of achievement, and what do you have? According to many, it's a means of understanding differences and teaching to an individual's strengths. But this is not a safe, middle ground functional hypothesis. Rather, it is an example of the "anything in moderation must be true" bias. Just as a moderate amount of Reiki will fail to cure a medical condition, a moderate conclusion about the usefulness of the modality learning styles concept does not help us understand the learning process. Does a more thoughtful and considered reaction to this notion mean that the answer lies in the middle, should be completely accepted or thoroughly dismissed? The modality learning styles hypothesis sounds as if it reflects a valid characterization of learners — just ask people if they are visual learners and around 90% of them will confirm that they are — but the evidence is overwhelmingly. We cannot reliably identify modality styles, teaching has not been successfully matched to proposed styles and the learning task itself should be the focus of analysis. If that's an extreme and uncomfortable conclusion, at least it is evidence-based

Additional considerations that should be included in LS discussions, but often aren't are these:
1. "Mixing it up" in the classroom "works," but why? There are at least three possible answers, but only one is often considered. The LS answer is something to the effect of "because that way all kinds of learners have a chance to enter in in their own way. An alternative explanation though is that mixing it up refreshes students' attention. And a third alternative is that mixing it up provides all students with a richer array of cues to store and later retrieve. The former answer violates the principle of parsimony. The latter two reasons fit within the current cognitive psych paradigm and can be tested, but often are not.
2. As noted above, following the LS "position" on learning gives students an "easy" source of externalization and encourages a fixed mindset. Whether we know the truth about learning styles or not is irrelevant to the point that learners with a fixed mindset are at a disadvantage, and learning mindsets are shaped by learning environments.
3. Whereas educators do indeed know that individual variation exists in learning – of course it does! – what isn't aptly considered in the literature is the source of these differences. The assumption is that learning styles are somehow coded into our genetics (i.e., we are born that way) but there is no evidence (none that I know of anyway) to support this claim. As with point #2, it's just as reasonable to assume that LS are shaped by the environment too, just like mindsets. In other words, it's an open empirical question and one that deserves attention if the LS perspective is to continue to cost school districts so much time, energy, and money. There's quite a cost associated with this concept and the validity of it is far from settled.
With so much interesting work going on in the Cognitive and Learning Sciences that is shedding light on how to enhance learning, I often wonder why Learning Styles, as a concept, is still around? There are many other ways to enhance learning than rigidly adhering to this one.
Preston Kay | September 10, 2014
Great post, People do learn in different ways; some prefer to listen to new information. Others choose to break down data into small, adaptable portions while others learn through discussion or action. These different preferences, known as learning styles, have been the subject of academic research for several decades as psychologists and educational professionals have tried to understand how people can become more effective and efficient learners. I like the quote in the article, "The point is not to match teaching style to learning styles but rather to achieve balance, making sure that each style preference is addressed to a reasonable extent during instruction." Many instructors recognize that each person prefers different learning styles and techniques. Learning styles group common ways that people learn.
Belinda | September 11, 2014
I enjoyed this article, as it addresses the complexity of teaching and the learning styles. The article considers the ability of the student and addresses the fact that "People do not all learn in the same way." The consideration of the student needs to include the intake (visual, auditory, touch) and the application to new ideas influenced by prior knowledge. A good amount of information for those considering what tools can be affective in the classroom, with a flexible strategy that provides a balanced viewpoint. .

Technology is integrated with learning styles in order to document what students have learned in each class. Parents are allowed access to the account in order to view the content of what is learned. Students are then sent home with laptops and tablets as a means to electronically complete and submit homework assignments, with the hopes of additional searching on the subject matter as a means of additional study. As we all know, social media and gaming sites are usually the only interest of further study.
Teaching styles and learning styles have to be incorporated in the classroom to achieve balance and deliver the content in different ways. I've created a procedure called REEL, (Relax Entertain Excite Learn, pronounced REAL) it is a method to incorporate traditional teaching and multi-media in the classroom. Students are divided into three stations, one is directed by the teacher, the second is a video format, computer or film, and the third is by research and hands on contact. At each station students are responsible for creating questions and notes of the important facts they acquire at each station. The students can be in groups or individual depending on the size of the classroom. This gives them the opportunity to use their know how and skills to figure out the problems and answers. Each station will provide students the opportunity to figure out their learning style and which one work best for them with a means to learn how to adjust or use a different learning style.
There are seven learning styles and each would be addressed in the three stations based on Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory. Gardner's "theory posits the existence of seven different areas of intelligence that characterize the learning style one is more comfortable with, which are Visual (Spatial), Solitary (Intrapersonal), Aural (Auditory-Musical), Social (Interpersonal), Verbal (Linguistic), Physical (Kinesthetic), and Logical (Mathematical)." If you want to learn more about Howard's multiple intelligences theory I would highly recommend his seminal work "Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons in Theory and Practice".

I have used learning styles along with my teacher Howard Gardener's methods and insights to try to find something of a balance. But this article is right, the certainty of this approach to pedagogy has its own limitations of which we must remain mindful. Joe Seaborn

Rangers' Grimm faces Crew, Peralta in series opener
Brewers aim to halt five-game skid against talented young right-hander
With the way Nick Tepesch and Justin Grimm began the season, the Rangers are going to have to some tough decisions to make when Colby Lewis and Martin Perez return from injury.
Grimm takes the ball on Tuesday as the Rangers begin a two-game series in Milwaukee, and if he pitches as well he has, manager Ron Washington should have a hard time removing him from the starting rotation any time soon. Perez and Lewis are both expected to begin rehab assignments this week.
"No doubt about it, we've got better depth just because of Grimm and Tepesch," Washington said. "We didn't envision seeing them this soon. No matter what happens, there's no doubt we have better depth than we've had in the past. We have some veteran guys down in Triple-A pitching well, too.
"Keep your fingers crossed, because they say you can never have too much pitching, but we have a lot of it right now."
Grimm has yet to allow more than three runs in a start this season, striking out 24 batters to eight walks in 23 2/3 innings while posting a 2.28 ERA. The 24-year-old right-hander fanned just 5.3 batters per nine innings over 51 innings with Triple-A Round Rock last season, but the Rangers aren't complaining.
The Brewers enter play Tuesday having lost five in a row. They've allowed at least six runs in each of those five losses.
Wily Peralta, coming off his worst start of the season in which he allowed six runs on 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings against the Cardinals, will try to right the ship. After spending most of last season in the Minors, sporting a 4.66 ERA with Triple-A Nashville, Peralta is still learning.
"That's just part of the experience," Peralta said. "Those days, you have to calm down yourself, try to make one pitch at a time. Don't try to go too crazy out there."
Brewers: Segura slugging
Jean Segura had another hit Sunday and has now hit safely in 22 of 29 games this season. He's hitting at a .333 clip, which is in line with his success in the Minor Leagues.
His power numbers, though, have surprised. With four doubles, three triples and four homers, Segura is slugging .533.
"Everything he's doing is really good," manager Ron Roenicke said. "He is really playing well. Driving the ball, stealing bases. The defense -- we knew he was going to be good defensively, but I still thought he would make some mistakes, just being young. He's not making too many mistakes."
Rangers: Without DH, Berkman to get rest
• Designated hitter Lance Berkman is likely to get a few days off with the Rangers playing their next few games in National League parks. The 37-year-old had two surgeries on his right knee last season and it occasionally causes him trouble.
With Mitch Moreland swinging the bat well, hitting his fourth home run of the season Sunday, Washington can feel comfortable with Berkman on the bench instead of playing first base.
"I'm the manager, so I have the right to change my mind -- don't put it in stone, but as of right now, he'll just be a pinch-hitter off the bench and it'll give him an opportunity to catch up," Washington said. "We'll give him a break. It's only three games."
• With Monday's makeup game at Wrigley Field, this trip will be the Rangers' first that encompasses four different cities since an 11-game journey to Baltimore (four), Toronto (three), Boston (one) and Chicago-AL (three) from July 13-23, 2006.
Worth noting
• Second baseman Ian Kinsler ranks sixth among active players with 28 leadoff home runs in his career. The Rangers are 24-4 when Kinsler starts the game with a home run.
• Roenicke is considering moving center fielder Carlos Gomez up in the batting order for the series. Gomez is hitting .368 while hitting mostly out of the seven-spot.
• Aramis Ramirez is 2-for-6 since returning from the 15-day disabled list.

Rice was arrested and charged with simple assault-domestic violence on Feb. 15 after a physical altercation with his fiancee, Janay Palmer, at the Revel Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City. Palmer also was charged with simple assault.
The simple assault-domestic violence charge against Palmer was dismissed.
Prosecutors took the case to a grand jury, which returned a more serious charge of aggravated assault. The charge carries a potential penalty of three to five years in prison, officials said.
"This is part of the due process for Ray. We know there is more to Ray Rice than this one incident," the Ravens said in a team statement.
A video obtained and posted online by TMZ showed Rice lifting Palmer by her arms out of an elevator and laying her on the floor. Rice's attorney, Michael Diamondstein, has said the footage is authentic but incomplete.
Diamondstein told The Press of Atlantic City on Thursday that neither Rice nor Palmer wants to move forward with the case.
"On behalf of Ray Rice, we vehemently deny that Mr. Rice committed an aggravated assault," Diamondstein told The Press of Atlantic City. "Both Mr. Rice and Miss Palmer are together, they are happy and they're in counseling."
Rice, 27, signed a five-year, $35 million contract with the Ravens before the 2012 season. He is coming off his worst season, rushing for only 660 yards and averaging a career-low 3.1 yards per carry.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti previously called Rice's arrest "embarassing and disappointing" but vowed to stick by the three-time All-Pro running back.
"Ray will be here," Bisciotti said this week in an interview with the Baltimore Sun at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando, Fla. "This is a singular moment six years after we drafted him. It's embarrassing for him and his fiancee. It is especially hard to see somebody that is proud of his reputation have to take this kind of public relations hit."
Ravens coach John Harbaugh expressed his displeasure on Tuesday over having three of his players arrested in a 22-day period, calling the arrests "unacceptable" and "disappointing,"
Besides Rice's arrest, backup wide receiver Deonte Thompson was arrested for possession of marijuana on Feb. 21 and backup offensive lineman Jah Reid was arrested on two misdemeanor charges of battery in a bar fight on March 9.
"It's unacceptable. It's disappointing," Harbaugh said at the NFL owners meetings. "But you also separate the person from the activity, and redemption is something that we think is important as well.
"If there is ever a point in time when we feel that person has lost value for our team, starting with football or because of their character, then you move on from those guys. But those guys aren't to that point."
Just as Bisciotti did, Harbaugh reaffirmed his support for Rice.
"He will be part of our team," Harbaugh said. "He's a person of character. The thing that's really important is to be able to support the person without condoning the action.
"He makes a mistake. There's no justifying what happened. When you drink too much in public, those kind of things happen."
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that the league was continuing to monitor Rice's case, indicating no timetable or decision on whether Rice will be punished by the league.

"The Blythe Intaglios or Blythe Geoglyphs are a group of gigantic figures found on the ground near Blythe, California in the Colorado Desert. The intaglios are found east of the Big Maria Mountains, about 15 miles (24 km) north of downtown Blythe, just west of U.S. Highway 95 near the Colorado River. The largest human figure is 171 feet (52 m) long. The intaglios are best viewed from the air.
The geoglyphs or intaglios (anthropomorphic geoglyphs) were created by scraping away layers of darker rocks or pebbles to reveal a stratum of lighter-valued soil. While these "gravel pictographs" are found through the deserts of southeastern California, human figures are found only near the Colorado River. The figures are so immense that they were not observed by non-Indians until the 1930s. The set of geoglyphs includes several dozen figures and a labyrinth, thought to be ceremonial in nature. They are believed to date from 1000 CE but could range from 450 to 10,000 years old, and were most likely created by Mojave and Quechan Indians."
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast.

California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

by Marshall Chase Great home theater and more The most important thing the Yamaha RX-V675 delivers is amazing sound. You get seven channels of power, with advanced digital processing for sound that will bring your favorite films, TV shows, video games, and music to life. This receiver can decode the latest high-resolution surround sound formats, which lend even greater realism to many Blu-ray movies and concerts. Six 3D-ready HDMI inputs and compatibility with the latest 3D video sources and TVs make this receiver a perfect choice to not only upgrade your system but expand your entertainment choices. And that's when things get really interesting! Your smartphone or tablet can play here The 'V675 has a USB port in front — a perfect way to connect your iPod® or iPhone®. Play your favorite tunes and keep your iPod charged for your next excursion. The receiver bypasses the iPod's DAC and employs its own low-jitter circuitry for a pristine musical experience. With a smartphone and a home network connection, Spotify® subscribers can stream millions of songs from the popular music service's catalog. Plus, Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer restores your favorite songs to near-CD sound quality on playback. You can also use the USB port to listen to music stored on flash drives. And a front-panel minijack input lets you plug in any device with a headphone output. Now you can enjoy video, games and more from your compatible Android™ device on your TV screen and surround speakers. MHL® (Mobile High-definition Link) will pass 1080p video and multichannel audio from compatible gear to your system, while charging your device. One back-panel HDMI input doubles as an MHL input for use with compatible smartphones and tablets, so you can send photos, videos and music from your mobile device to your home theater. AirPlay® convenience The RX-V675 includes Apple's AirPlay technology, which lets you stream music wirelessly from your iTunes® library directly to the receiver, either from a networked computer or right from your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch®. Not only do you get a fast and convenient way to listen to your favorites, but anyone else in your home with an Apple device can share their latest musical finds. AirPlay requires a wireless home network and a wired connection between the receiver and network or a wireless connection using the optional Yamaha Wi-Fi adapter. Free control apps Yamaha offers a free, downloadable app for both Apple® and Android™ devices that lets you control this receiver with ease. Just connect your receiver to your home's wireless network, and your iPad®, phone, or tablet becomes the easiest remote to read and the hardest one to lose. Custom sound made simple Some of the most advanced features of Yamaha's RXV series receivers are heard rather than seen. For starters, there's Yamaha's auto-speaker calibration system: YPAO. Simply connect the included microphone to your receiver, place it in your favorite listening position and let the system do the rest. YPAO analyzes your room's acoustics and makes adjustments for optimum sound in just a few minutes. It's like having a professional installer calibrate your system. Yamaha also adds Subwoofer Trim Control that enhances low frequencies by reducing overlap with the front speakers. You'll hear a cleaner, more focused soundstage along with seamless bass throughout the room. You set the "SCENE" Yamaha's special SCENE modes make this receiver a snap to use. Just press one of the four dedicated buttons on the receiver's front panel or remote, and the 'V675 automatically switches to the correct input setting and sound mode for viewing DVD or Blu-ray discs, playing CDs, watching TV, or listening to the radio. Plus, you can individually reprogram each button for different activities of your choice, such as playing video games, listening to your iPod, and more.

Yamaha RX-V675 review Written By rpurdum, Morgantown, WV on Monday, July 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As with all Crutchfield items, the customer service is superb. I spoke with a rep prior to purchase and their guidance proved invaluable. After purchase, set-up was easy, especially connecting to a wired network. The sound is great and the ability to control the receiver via a smartphone or computer is very useful. Added the Bluetooth receiver to round out the package. Pros: Great sound, easy set-up, network interface, and the ability to control with iPad/smartphones. Cons: Initially, the subwoofer would not work due to the subwoofer having a power save feature that shut itself off when there was no signal. A phone call to the Crutchfield tech rep resolved the problem within 5 minutes.
Yamaha RX-V675 Written By Lou, Hickory, NC on Saturday, May 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The RX-V675 does everything I wanted it to. It works well with my new smart TV and other components. Still working to insure I have set it up to use all of it's capacities. It definitely is an upgrade from my 80's Sansui. Pros: It has a wide range of capabilities. Almost more than I need. Cons: The set up directions could be a lot clearer. It is a pain to have to go to the the CD everytime you have question on set up.
Yamaha receiver rx 675 Written By Justin, charlotte nc on Monday, May 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great equipment thanks again guys Pros: True dolby 7.1 surround sound Yamaha receiver Cons: None at this time
Worth evey penny! Written By John A, Chicago on Saturday, May 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I upgraded from an RX-V740 to this this receiver last month and I love it. The main reason I upgraded was because my old received didn't have HDMI inputs. It still works great and I will be selling it at a garage sale soon. You can count on Yamaha products to last a really LONG time. Pros: The Yamaha AV controller app, the ARC's ability to pass through video and sound to the TV even with the receiver powered off, the standby feature allowing me to remotely power up the the zone I want to listen to and select the desired input like PANDORA all from my smart phone! The intuitive on-screen menu, and it's incredible sound! Cons: Taking over a year to come down in price. At the time it was released, I couldn't get myself to fork over $750.00 for any receiver. But after owning this for a month I realize now that it was well worth it
Great Network Features Written By Andy, Auburn, CA on Friday, April 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great receiver. The onscreen (TV) display does take a little getting used to - but it makes sense once you play around with the various settings. The hidden gem of this receiver is it's network connectivity. The iPhone and iPad applications are really handy to use as remote controls. There is even a simple web interface too - as in point your web browser at the receiver's IP address and you get control of the device - this has future potential for the full home entertainment experience... Also, the network streaming support is great. I was able to use the http://yradio.vtuner.com/ website to easily add internet radio channels (for instance, BBC Radio 4, music etc) and add podcasts (NPR's Car Talk!). Crutchfield's cable labels, such a simple concept, really helped with me actually labeling the speaker cables, power cables and the like since I was replacing an old Sony receiver with this new receiver. So far, really enjoying the purchase, and the great shopping experience from Crutchfield. Highly recommended. Pros: Network connectivity - both for remote control (iPhone/iPad/Web) and internet radio/podcasts, ability to configure 'scene' settings (as in select TV, surround mode etc) Cons: Lacking RDS on the FM radio - though it's not that much of a problem.
Great Receiver! Written By Mario Grippi, Nokomis, FL on Friday, April 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Being somewhat audiophile challenged, when I had to replace my home theater receiver, the sales person walked me through my options without pressure and making me feel like an idiot. I was looking for ease of use, and the Yamaha fit the bill. The tech team patiently helped me with the set up and programming, and in less than n hour I was hooked up and enjoying the great sound and ease of use. I've purchased from Crutchfield in the past and definitely will in the future.
Not your father's Yamaha... Written By Greg, Atlanta, GA on Monday, March 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was replacing an old RX-V750 Yamaha from 8 years ago, and let me first point out that Yamaha like so many have really cheapened or lowered quality in a lot of areas to make it through this long economic hardship. They add HDMI ports but take away common sense on menus and in effort to make it "easier to understand for everyone" made it dumbed down and confusing and frustrating to an audiophile. It's like some idiot with an iPod designed it with no knowledge of the needs of a Yamaha user that didn't want to buy the cheap stuff from Walmart. Yes, it's that bad. The sound is lifeless compared to my 8 year old Yamaha....the sound fields are excellent by Yamaha standards but at the end of the day mostly you would want to use 7 CHANNEL SOUND or STANDARD for DOLBY soundtracks, and then the Yamaha sounds still lifeless and like listening to an MP3 file all the time. The restorer left on all the time like most does very little to compensate for substandard components. Pros: It's pretty. Cons: The onscreen menus are missing important features and laid out poorly. Amps are not up to old Yamaha quality. For example, my old RX-V750 was more massive and heavy with better parts and more rugged. It sounded better because of better parts and the new stuff is scaled down smaller and lighter. My old RX-V750 weighed almost 30 pounds, this comes in at only 22. You can look inside and see smaller capacitors and heatsinks too....This is the new world order sadly.
Yamaha RX-V675 Written By Erik, Boston on Monday, March 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far so good, have had a month now. Only problem was the set up microphone did not work. Luckily I had the one from my old onkyo.
RXV675 Yahama Surround Sound Receiver Written By mswrtz, Kennesaw, GA on Tuesday, March 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good receiver and matches all other review ratings I read.
Yamaha RX-V675 Written By Derek, Arlington, TX on Tuesday, February 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great unit so far. I've barely begun to figure out everything this receiver is capable of. Crutchfield customer service was great in that there was a mix up when we thought the previous receiver had zone 2 capability. This receiver blows my old Onkyo receiver out of the water. I upgraded my sub at the same time and my media room is rocking now. I can't say enough about the customer service and the technical assistance that is offered by the Crutchfield team for the lifetime of your product. Pros: Multiple sub outputs, zone 2 capability, allows me to hook up my second receiver for play of my outdoor pool speakers. Cons: Haven't found any so far with my use of the receiver.
Yamaha Quality Written By Johnny G, NJ on Tuesday, February 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Have had this unit for nearly a year. It replaced a Onkyo receiver that had only 2 HDMI inputs. I did have it find a reversed connection on one of my speakers. The speaker was mounted on the wall so I reversed the connection at the receiver. This unit runs so much cooler the Onyko it replaces. The setup was easy and the sound is so natural coming from it. This is definitely worth the money. Pros: It does not get better than this unit for the money.. Cons: No back light on the remote and no printed owners manual.
Great Home Theater Sound Written By Mark E M, Howell, MI on Thursday, January 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was purchased as an upgrade to an older model Denon for a wired in house home theater system. Installation was a breeze and the optional Wireless Adapted to allow utilization of Air Play was a breeze. I would agree with the reviews I read that the lack of a back-light on the remote is a pain, and becoming more of a nuisance each day but the performance is top notch. Pros: Great Sound Easy Installation iPhone App capability to control Cons: No back-light on remote
Yamaha RX V675 Written By Mike D, New Jersey on Sunday, January 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far, love the sound. Pretty powerful and easy to use. Pros: Easy set up. Airplay is great. Yamaha app is very convenient. Awesome sound Cons: Remote
Great Receiver Written By FrankE, Wake Forest, NC on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was apprehensive about driving my old Infinity's(4 ohm) with this new receiver. I took a chance and I'm glad I did. They've never sounded better. No excessive heat generated from the lower speaker ohms. As for the receiver, it was very easy to set up and customize to my environment. Great on screen configuration guides. Pros: Sound is amazing, easy to set up and configure and the Yamaha app is fantastic. Simple front panel controls and netwoking, airplay and movie streaming is great. Cons: Would like to have a back lit remote.
Yamaha RX-V675 Written By Dave K, Chapel Hill NC on Sunday, December 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good sound. Lots of HDMI inputs. Pros: Good sound. Lots of HDMI. Cons: Requires not just a TV to set up sound/speakers etc. but a HDMI equip TV. Never mentioned that in discussions with sales staff. Even in IFU states HDMI TV "recommended". Can't connect ethernet, wifi, etc. without HDMI TV. Now it forces my hand to purchase a new TV when my "primary" use was digital music from DVD/CD/BR player.
yamaha rx-v675 Written By richard, la on Tuesday, December 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) incredible sound in 7.2 stereo mode ... with 4 klipsch bookshelf speakers,2 polk monitor 70's,2 dayton audio 12 inch subwoofers and a pioneer center channel it just sounds awesome ... jerry garcia never looked and sounded so good Pros: fantastic sound and picture quality and easy setup with the supplied mic ... more than satisfied !! Cons: none ..
Yamaha RX-V675 Written By Eric E., Idaho on Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First off WOW... I replaced an older Onkyo receiver I purchased a few years ago that only had 2 HDMI ports and no standby pass through. Took me longer to get the old amp out and clean up the wiring then it did to set it up. I just wish this came with a paper copy of the owners manual. I have 6ohm speakers so needed to make the change before I hooked anything up and I had to boot up my computer and download the manual first. After that setup was a breeze. It determined one of my speakers was hooked up backwards which surprised me, but it told me exactly which speaker was wrong. Turn off the amp, switch my banana plugs and ran the test again and bam everything is perfect. The ability to rename all the inputs and have them display on the front is really nice. Great sound, and all my devices now can be watched with the Receiver off and only one cable running to my T.V. I like it so much I already pulled out my extra speakers I bought for my rear channel 3 years ago. So after this weekend I will be running full 7.1 Updating the firmware over a wired connection was quick and painless. Now I have complete control over the receiver from my smartphone without line of site, anywhere in my house. So far I couldn't be happier. Pros: 5 HDMI inputs in rear HDMI pass through while receiver is off Convert all signals to 1080p via the amp - DirecTv is now running 1080p instead of 1080i Great free app for smartphones and devices Tons of sound options Dual Zone Plenty of power Cons: 2 more HDMI inputs would be great, but I just used an auto splitter - didn't want another Onkyo or Pioneer just for that Remote isn't backlit - not a deal breaker, but most be noted Banana plugs on zone 2 would be nice No paper manual All these are not deal breakers
Yamaha Written By PT, Boston, Ma on Monday, November 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) just wonderful Pros: ease of setup and controls, speaker capacity, interconnection to multiple components components.... internet radio is amazing...
Yamaha RX-V675 Written By Perry S., Tulare,CA on Wednesday, October 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to set up. Many options for sound dimensions. Wi-Fi is great. I run a Martin Logan wireless sub with this unit with excellent reception. For the price I don't think you can go wrong (except I wish the remote was backlit). Pros: Quality, Style, Ease of installation, Sound, Wi-Fi Cons: None really except that remote is not backlit.
So Far So Good! Written By Brian, Catawba, NC on Friday, September 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had to replace my older Receiver and the Yamaha was a great choice to replace it with. It was simple to install and sound is great. I'm just now starting to realize what all it does. I have hooked up the wireless adapter and I am now enjoying all the wireless capabilities! Pros: Look, Sound, easy installment, and it's capabilities! Cons: Connecting Airplay (but its probably me), zone 2 sound is low ( but it might be in the old wiring?)
Yamaha RX-V675 Written By Rescue, Rescue, CA on Friday, September 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent sound. Easy to install. Very good customer service when I called for install information. Pros: Excellent home theater sound. Cons: I wish the remote layout was less congested, and was back lit.
Yamaha RX-V675 Written By Chris, Bay City Michigan on Wednesday, September 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice clean design easy to hook and use Makes everything a lot nicer
Yamaha RX-V675 Written By Anonymous, Baton Rouge on Sunday, August 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver was a gift for my adult daughter..she has been more than satisfied with its performance Pros: Works as described...no problems Cons: None
Yamaha RX-V675 Written By Richlem, Milford, Ma. on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been enjoying my RX-V675 for just about 3 months now and I gotta say my whole family has been really impressed with how flawlessly it performs and sounds! The build quality seems quite good, It provides plenty of options for adjusting the sound, has plenty of good clean power for my whole family to enjoy our favorite Blu ray movies, internet radio and we especially enjoy listening to our I-Tunes using the Air Play feature with the optional Wi-Fi adapter. Set up was a breeze using the included YPAO mic. Navigating through the menu with the remote can take some getting used to, it would be nice if the remote had a back light. We downloaded the free Yamaha App and making adjustments while watching movies is easier with the App. At this price range, your choices of brands and options are pretty competitive. I spent a lot of time researching this and other brands and models So, given what I now know, if I had to make the choice over again, I would not hesitate to buy the RX-V675 again! Pros: Sound Quality, Built in features, ability for me to grow by adding more speakers or upgrading to the new 4K televisions without having to buy another amp. Cons: Remote
yamaha Written By linda, darien ny on Sunday, June 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) just hooked up the receiver today and the consolidation of all the wires was easy and now there are less of those and one remote. Great product. Pros: son in law was the best asset to connection of all parts. Cons: couldn't figure out the connections without someone who was more technological aware of how all the parts connected with the receiver.
Yamaha rx-v675 Written By Steve, Corning, NY on Saturday, May 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit is great, sounds great and is intuitive for the most part. I have not set up an AV receiver in years. While there are many functions and capabilities in this unit, I had it connected and running in about an hour. It is connected as a 5.1 with inputs from DVD and Linux PC through HDMI. I had an Apple Airport Express laying around. I used that to connect the receiver wirelessly to my network.. The Pandora and Apple Airplay work great. Pros: Yamaha Quality Great Sound Easy to use

Low back pain is an ache or discomfort in the lower part of the spinal column. It may radiate down into one or both legs. The lower spinal column consists of small, stacked bones (the vertebrae) that surround and protect the spinal cord and nerves.
There are many possible causes for low back pain, including:
Sciatica is irritation of the sciatic nerve. It leads to pain that starts in the lower back and spreads to the buttocks and down the back of each thigh. The sciatic nerve is composed of several nerve roots that start from the lower part of the spinal cord. These nerves form a network that lead to individual nerves. These nerve bundles travel deep in the pelvis to the lower buttocks. From there, the nerve passes along the back of each upper leg and divides at the knee into branches that go to the feet.
Anything that causes irritation or puts pressure on the sciatic nerve can cause sciatica, including:
Low back pain is very common. Over the course of a lifetime, almost 80% of Americans will suffer from at least one episode of back pain. Every year, about 15%-20% of the adults in the United States will report back pain. Most back pain gets better with time. About 5% to 10% of patients will continue to have pain for longer than three months. About 5%-10% of people with low back pain will have sciatica.

Re: The Hunt
I'm sad this one didn't get more attention, it's rather unique.

Since it is so late in the derby (it closes later today), I doubt you will get rejected - or all the votes this deserves. But I hope to see more work from you, so keep all this mind
Thank you for the feedback, mjc613. The colors should be the same, but if they are showing up different, I must have done something wrong. I originally put in the olive color. I was trying to get this in at the last minute (submitted at 11:47 on Wednesday). I think the quality suffered several ways because of my rush. Since this was my first Shirt.Woot!, my first art competition, in fact, I think I became overeager once the ideas started coming. That said,I should probably choose to wait for another opportunity next time, instead of submitting sub-standard work. Thank you especially for the words of encouragement. I will hold on to those as I continue to put myself out there in the days ahead.
Re: Puss in Boot
Thanks for the support and comments everyone! :D
Re: Rescue
Really beautiful work, Robbie. I think this is one of the most striking images in the derby. If I had any critique at all, it would be that I would like to know more about the story! It might have been a neat touch to add just a bit of detail to the building. I really want to imagine it like an evil underground testing facility, ala The Hive, and the robot is rescuing the kitty from the lab. This image really makes you wonder what's up there. Great work with the mood and lighting as well.

Actually, the paint drips were intended to have been there from when a human used the cans, just as in the case of the pink ones, before the black can was knocked over by the cat.

Well I generally make 12" pizzas. I thought I read here somewhere that a 16" recipe will make 2 12" skins. Is that correct?
Close but not quite. The surface area of a 16in pizza is 200.96in. and the surface area of a 12in is 113.04in. So two 12in pizzas would be 226.08, a slight difference but noticeable.
Do you put a lid on your container Pete? Like an airtight lid? or just a lid to cover but air can force its way out? Also, what type of metal is better than another? aluminum better than steel? Im sure I can find some empty cans, just want to know what to look for.
Peter, now that I look at your pics again, is that cornmeal you are using on the dough ball?

The Cable Show '09 will be held April 1-3, 2009, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

Cable Connection Spring will run from April 1-6 in Washington, D.C. and will include CableLabs' conferences and the SCTE's Conference on Emerging Technologies (ET).
In March, the NCTA's board of directors announced that it had approved a plan, which was co-developed with other cable industry associations, to schedule industry meetings and events at the same time during selected weeks in the spring and fall – called "Cable Connection Spring" and "Cable Connection Fall" (story here).
The participating groups include the NCTA, the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE), The Walter Kaitz Foundation, Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT), Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM), CableLabs, the Association of Cable Communicators (ACC), the Cabletelevision Advertising Bureau (CAB), The Cable Center, Cable Positive, Cable Pioneers, and The National Association for Multi-ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC).
In the fall of 2009, CTAM Summit, SCTE Cable-Tec Expo, the Cable Center Hall of Fame Dinner and a CableLabs seminar will be among the events in Denver, beginning Oct. 25.

Using her passion for art to make a difference in the fight against PH, Lauren Johnson, a 16-year-old PH patient, came up with the idea of organizing a "Painting a Stroke of PHenomenal Hope" event where donated art could be auctioned. She designed the logo for the event, which her mother Melissa is sporting in the picture here with Lauren.Before the event Lauren did a lot of publicity and awareness-raising in her community. She obtained press coverage in three newspaper articles and raised $3,000 in sponsorships. Last weekend, she attracted 250 attendees to her art auction event in Edmond, Okla., which included carnival games, square dancers, and a bake sale. At last count, she had raised $11,000 for PHA, but checks are still coming in.Always thinking beyond herself, Lauren did not organize the event in honor of her own struggle with PH, but in honor of her 11-year-old PHriend Julian Willis (who she met at the 2008 PHA Conference and has the same PH specialist Dr. Dunbar Ivy) and in memory of a local PHriend Katie Hill who passed away in December. In fact, just a week before hosting this large event she traveled to Colorado to attend a House Party in honor of Julian.

Lupe's Biggest Fan? I Got Some Goods...
Latest News
Filed under:314
I was cleaning up my office and I found some Lupe goodies. Signed Fader magazine cover, 8x10 publicity image from F&L days, The Cool rubix cube and the DJ Envy mixtape from pre-FNL. Who wants?
Lupe!!! You made me love hip/hop again. I remember when you came to Newport at The Ohio State University a couple years ago... You had to be a student to buy tickets ( I'm not a student), I paid some dude on CL $80 for 2 tickets... $10 for students (He wouldn't seperate them), then I have one to my friend for free so he could go... Then I was pissed when I stopped at my work (a campus grocery store) and missed you there. The next day when I came in for work, a cashier told me that she checked you and Matthew Santos out! You both donated $1 to the MDA foundation and signed your names on the paper shamrocks that get taped to the wall/window... Your's had little birds around your signature... I told my manager that I wanted them when they came off the wall, but of course I was off the day that happened and they got tossed in the trash with all the others. DAMN!!! I need those goodies!!! FNF UP!!!
im 13 and all my friends listen to mainstream rap. they dont get y i think you're so amazing ill tell them that u talk about things besides violence and money. they dont care what i say but i still try to get people to listen to you. and i signed the we want lasers petition like 8 times.... just sayin. fnf up
Busy, you know there's no way any one person can prove that they're Lupe's biggest fan. Passion and money and adherence don't mean anything to people that have been close to suicide. Lupe's art has reached out to me when I was in a very dark place, and it goes without saying that getting these goodies would mean a lot to me.
I would be extremely honoured if I was lucky enough to get them.
Spending a whole week & working countless hours on the #WeWantLasers movement and the petition, emailing DJ's, newspapers and websites all over the world, and twittering more celebs about it than I can even come close to remembering, has made my love for Lupe Fiasco grow even stronger. He is the definition of talent, inspiration and integrity.
As much as I would go absolutely insane with joy if I got these goodies, it could never compare to the feelings I will feel the day Lasers is released..
So I could go on and on with a bunch of lines about how I'm Fiasco's biggest fan, but I'm sure he and you and everyone else have all heard it all before. So instead of wasting anyone's time, I'll just put it out there that it would be sick to get some of this swag. Lupe is a rapper that focuses on real world concepts instead of the mainstream BS. But you already knew that, so I'll sign off with this, Lupe, keep doing what you're doing because your fans and the game are listening and waiting for your next move...
If I were to get those items, that would make my shitty life just a bit better. I've been a big fan of Lupe almost 5 years now. I remember buying (yes, buying) the "Lupe the Jedi" mixtape when I was in high school and I thought it was the dopest thing ever. But when I let my peoples listen to it they said that Lupe was whack as fuck. I was the nerd in all my classes. I was the type of guy who got good grades, read manga and comics, watched anime, played in the band and was shy around girls. I used to try to fit in, but hearing Lupe made me want to stand out. He's one of the reasons I am the way I am today. I'm not going to say I'm his biggest fan, but trust, I'm up there. FNF up. #wewantlasers. Sign the petition if you haven't already! And get your knowledge up folk! Was is spitting real shit on that new BMF (Building Mind's Faster) Freestyle. Peace!

I am really hoping for a GMA500 drive with reasonable 2D acceleration so as to revive my old Fujitsu UMPC.
people will of course say that I should never have bought a GMA500 based netbook-like UMPC in the first place but it was a compromise I was willing to take, and I resent having to fall back to Windows on it for good media playback.
Any new news on this driver being released? I've been working with the GMA500 FBDEV driver developed by Alan Cox on CentOS 6.3 (3.4.13 kernel) and it works well, but I can't control brightness and was hoping this new driver would help.
Unfortunately this "surprise" is not a driver and this code is unrelated to PowerVR: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...tem&px=MTI0MzU
Darn. Thanks for dashing my hopes. I going go back to working with a newer kernel b/c I hear there is better support for GMA500, unfortunately it breaks something else on my system. Maybe that will be easier to fix. Much appreciated for the response.
