Strangest (And Possibly Worst) Live Musical Performance Of 2013
by Rob Lucas
posted Apr 5 2013 6:56AM
I DVR'd Letterman earlier this week so I could get his take on the Leno- Fallon controversy, and was happy to see The Flaming Lips would be performing. I'm not a huge fan, but do appreciate them, and haven't seen them live in a long time.
What I witnessed could only be described as the most bizarre, strange, goofy, and nearly unwatchable musical performance of the year. From the yards of shiny duct tape wrapping the microphone and mic stand, to the plastic baby that was held and kissed by Flaming Lips lead vocalist Wayne Coyne during the performance, to the strangeness of the song itself, it was oddly engrossing, yet nearly unwatchable.
The whole thing was a flashback to a mid-1970's David Bowie avant-garde performance, minus the good music. Upon showing the video to my Producer James he remarked "who could sit through this?" I did…and it's so bizarre you probably will too, just to see if it gets any better. Check out Letterman's comments at the end about the baby "staying quiet for the whole performance." Priceless…

International Episode Titles: Czech Republic: Učitel tance (Dance Teacher)
E.J. Callahan, who played Mr. Simon in this episode, also appeared in "The One Where Estelle Dies" where he played Al Zebooker.
Music: "Night and Day" by Frank Sinatra
This episode runs 22:48 on DVD (a typical sitcom runs about 22:00). Added scene where Chandler talks to the gym "quitter" guy and finds out Ross joined too.
Trivia (4)
Goof: When Joey is telling Monica and Rachel about dancing in Central Perk, Monica's legs are crossed left over right. When the camera angle changes, they are crossed right over left, and in the next shot her legs are crossed left over right again.
Factual Error: When Chandler and Ross are trying to quit the bank, there is a state flag behind the banker's desk. The flag displayed is the California state flag, where the show is filmed, not the New York state flag, where the show is set.
Goof: In the tag scene, the name on the awning of the building has been superimposed. It moves a little while the shot remains still.
Goof: When Monica's talking to Rachel, she has the milk carton in her hand. Then the camera switches to Rachel and suddenly the milk can has become a garbage bag.
Allusions (1)
Mr. Treeger: (Imitating Rachel) Daddy, buy me a pizza. Daddy, buy me a candy factory. Daddy, make the cast of Cats sing "Happy Birthday" to me. Cats is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and other poems by T. S. Eliot. It was successfully adapted into the 1998 film Cats. "Happy Birthday to You," which is traditionally sung to people on their birthday, is the most popular song in the English language.

According to Dean Blandino, the NFL's vice president of officiating, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Terence Garvin should have been penalized for his hit on Cincinnati Bengals punter Kevin Huber during the first quarter punt return for a touchdown by Antonio Brown.
"Huber, he's a punter. And the key is he's defenseless throughout the down," Blandino said on the Tuesday edition of NFL Total Access. "So even though he's pursuing the play, he still gets defenseless-player protection. You can't hit him in the head or neck, and you can't use the crown or forehead parts of the helmet to the body."
Blandino went on to describe the play that resulted in Huber suffering a broken jaw and a cracked vertebrae in his neck.
"This is an illegal block. It should have been a flag for a 15-yard penalty," said Blandino. "You'll see the close-up where you can see the contact to the head or neck area. So this will certainly be a point of emphasis this week, especially with our referees who are responsible for the punter on plays like this.
"We have to watch the punter, he's defenseless," Blandino added. "And we want to flag hits like that."
So there you go, expect Garvin to be fined this week by the league.
So if Huber makes the tackle, is he fair game and defensless? Huber was going for Brown and could very well have made the tackle.
Everyone in today's NFL is defensless. Lets just give everyone flags already and outlaw hits anywhere all together.
The real reason the hit was illegal was that it was too violent for today's PC NFL. You can almost guarantee any hit that draws ewhs and ahs from the crowd will most certainly be a fine and shown by the NFL as what an illegal hit is considered to be.
All he was doing was doing his by blocking the punter so Antonio Brown could make the TD. this is down right ridiculous.
How do you explain penalty by Clark last week against Miami when he was called for hitting a defenseless receiver when clearly he had the ball and your supposed to tackle to stop him from making the TD it's all standard football, the new rules is ridiculous.
No what else is illegal? All the friggen pick plays that NE and Denver run, but I don't see them getting any fines.
The NFL could solve this problem by using kicking machines in lieu of punters and kickers on kick offs.
how about the punters should just exit the field as soon as they punt the ball.. how about that for protecting the punter.. Exit left… any variation to exiting left could result in a hit..
You know what's funny….we all here on this site, and Dave and Dave, talk about the bad tackling issues the Steelers have. I live closer to Philly then to Pittsburgh and the Eagle station has been talking about the same issue for the last 2 or 3 years. Do you ever wonder if the way the NFL now has turned this league into a bunch of, dare I say, pussies? I really think that plays into it. Clark, Ike, Troy and the rest of league didn't just start to forget how to tackle. There has to be more to it then that. Pretty soon we are going to say Offense wins games. As a Steeler fan how sad is that.
Jack Lambert used to say ":quarterbacks should wearing a dress" Does that mean punter's should war a mini skirt? My mother told us if we played rough we should not cry when we get hurt. If you suit up for a professional football game. Get ready to get hit!
Tackling around the league this year has indeed been VERY bad.
I think the issue with that is 2 things #1 Not enough contact in practice due to the new rules set by the NFLPA about practice schedules and #2 a smaller tackle box
Our old friend Mr. Lambert must cringe when watching football nowadays. What kills me is that I remember a kicker a couple of years ago that was no slouch. I think he made highlight reels perhaps 5 times in 1 year by making a bunch of TD saving tackles. I wish I could remember who the hell it was. Anyway, you would have to be able to block him — hell he's like a real player as he would actually kick and tackle.
2 different rules for those who are either capable of tackling or just kickers. Something like the difference between Ben and Brady. Ben gets hammered with rarely a penalty, but gets up and taps the guy on the head, but don;t even think about breathing on candy ass Brady or he'll call his own penalty.
I don't believe, because of one incident, that you suddenly change whatever you're doing. But there are rare situations (and this was one of them) where it becomes awfully difficult for the opposing players to know who the punter is. It isn't like an obvious sliding quarterback, or an obvious receiver trying to catch a pass.
You can have a short punt, or you can have the punter choosing to race down the field to recover the ball – and it's virtually impossible for the opposing Special Teams' players to know which player is the punter. Maybe they should identify the punter with a different colored helmet or something. Yes, I know it sounds dumb; but I believe Garvin when he said he didn't know it was the punter. And the responsibility to identify the punter – if they insist on maintaining this 'punter defenceless' rule – lays with the league.
Dave: The cracked vertebrae is an old injury not related to the hit, according to the Bengals. Don't inflame the situation more than it already is.
defenseless doesn't mean you can't block him. Similar rules to a defensless receiver. you can't hit certain areas.
Regardless. You make a flagrant foul on national TV that makes the NFL look bad, Goddel will intermpret the rules to send a fine.
I live close to philly as well. Their issue was having asante and DRC on the field at the same time. When it comes to tackling It was like playing baksetball 5 on 3.
That hit was Steeler football I loved it, all season long other team's were smacking us around Cutler running over Golden that still is pissing me off.
pretty soon the defensive players are going to have to set a pick like in basketball and hope the offensive player runs into them
Because Ian Rapoport is ALWAYS right, right? #Rollseyes
That's what happens when almost all of the practices are non-contact. Everyone ends up tackling poorly and I wouldn't be surprised to see more injuries as a result.
Ah how they miss the days of Brian Dawkins blowing people up. Ah how "I" miss the days of Clark blowing people up!!!!!
If they are defenseless then they need to kick/punt and run off the field. I can see if he wasn't part of the play but he was trying to make the tackle. Such bull…..t. The only reason he's classified as defenseless is that there is only one on the team.
Article 8: Initiating Contact with the Crown of the Helmet. It is a foul if a runner or tackler initiates forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top/crown of his helmet against an opponent when both players are clearly outside the tackle box (an area extending from tackle to tackle and from three yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the offensive team's end line). Incidental contact by the helmet of a runner or tackler against an opponent shall not be a foul.
Note: The tackle box no longer exists once the ball leaves the tackle box.
So why wasn't the hit on Bell flagged? Bell was way outside the tackle box. I'm just going on the assumption that the Fed Ex letter is coming. That being said, I would appeal. The league can't cherry pick who they want to fine. By the letter of the law both should have been flagged. And since the Dirty Birds weren't fined they shouldn't fine Garvin.
Absurd that he is "defenseless" throughout the play. that's laughable. after he completes the kick and makes a decision to enter the play, he should not be "defenseless". That's just dumb.
I gotta disagree. That clip gets played over and over again, the league is raking in ca$h all day long. Flagrant fouls on national TV make the NFL's bottom line look very good.
Darren Bennett of the Chargers in the '90s was an ex-Australian Rules player who once knocked out a punt returner. Couldn't find the clip I recall on youtube but he got over to the sidlines and it looked like a bad angle as the returner sped past….NOT, One-armed stiff arm clothesline sent returner flat on his back. Not exactly a defenseless punter.
PUNT, then sit down or run off the field!!!!
I agree its flag football. Now to be a defender you have to remeber if the guy you are blocking or tacking is a reciever, quarterback, punter, kicker, or a protected player. Thats alot to think about when you have to made a quick decision. lets put PINK shrits on all of these type of people……
If the punter is defenseless throughout the down then he shouldn't be a defender on the play either period. You can't have it both ways
Well,you make it sound like a forgone conclusion without proof of when it occurred. The articles I've seen say that it is an old injury.
Forget the defenseless thing for a moment…..the guy used his helmet as a spear on the guy….isn't that a personal foul ???? Very dirty hit….cowardly.
Exactly Mark.
If it was a personal foul then a penality would have been called. There was no penality. Maybe they need to start hitting them in the knees, but the guys a punter, that would have taken his livelyhood away. Football IS a contact sport and if a person don't want to get hurt, get him the hell off the field.
It was absolutely a dirty hit, punter thing notwithstanding. To say if it was a penalty it would have been called…are u kiddin….they miss call ALL the time ! It is a stupid rule about the punter being defenseless and needs to be changed….but they need to REALLY start handing out serious consequences to spearing and slamming your helmet into another players face/chin/head….tough guy sport or not….people can get paralyzed/killed that way

The method would come to be known as "The Pennsylvania System" and the institution "a penitentiary."
Walking past a large data center building, painted yellow like a penitentiary, I asked what went on inside.
"I rediscovered my own humanity in the penitentiary," he admits.
early 15c., "place of punishment for offenses against the church," from Medieval Latin penitentiaria, from fem. of penitentiarius (adj.) "of penance," from Latin paenitentia "penitence" (see penitence). Meaning "house of correction" (originally an asylum for prostitutes) is from 1806, short for penitentiary house (1776). Slang shortening pen is attested from 1884.

Direct electrochemical detection of aliphatic compounds with electroactive functional groups based on electrocatalytic reactions at noble metal electrodes, chiefly Au and Pt, is well known. Electrochemical detection is a widely accepted means of detection in liquid and ion chromatography. Electrochemical detectors operate by applying an electrical potential to the working electrode in a flow-through cell. Such detectors typically employ a cell of three electrodes, which are a working electrode, a reference electrode and a counter electrode. Typically, the methodology uses multi-step potential waveforms which incorporate a detection operation along with the anodic and cathodic cleaning of the electrode surface. In a typical potential waveform, anodic detection occurs at a first potential with current sampling at the end of the time period of applying the potential. The potential then is stepped to a second higher potential for oxidative cleaning of the electrode surface, and subsequently to a third potential lower than the first or second potentials for cleaning by cathodic dissolution of the surface oxide formed at the first and/or second potentials. An analytical application of this method using amperometric detection, now known as Pulsed Amperometric Detection (PAD), has been demonstrated for alcohols, polyalcohols and carbohydrates (reducing and non-reducing); amines and amino acids (primary and secondary); aminoglycosides; and numerous sulfur compounds (except sulfate, sulfonic acids and sulfones).
Pulsed Coulometric Detection (PCD) has been described. The significant difference between PAD and PCD lies in the instrumental protocol related to measurement of the detection signal. The term "pulsed electrochemical detection" or "PED" is a general term that encompasses PAD and PCD. In PAD, electrode current is sampled or averaged over a time period (e.g., 16.7 ms) (at 1/60 Hz−1) whereas in PCD the response is electronically integrated over a single period or over an integral number of sequential periods. PCD inherently has a larger signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) because of the larger signal strength and because the integral of a 60-Hz correlated noise signal, a predominant form of noise in electronic instrumentation, remains at zero over the integration period.
Photometric detection suffers because of an inherently low sensitivity for aliphatic compounds without extensive π-bonding and because of baseline drift which accompanies a change in the refractive index of the mobile phase. Refractive index detection is strongly affected by concentration gradients and the baseline shift observed for even small changes in mobile phase composition can overwhelm the analyte signal.
The methods of PAD and PCD were introduced for detection of numerous aliphatic organic compounds with electroactive functional groups in conjunction with liquid chromatography (LC). Numerous PAD/PCD methods have become part of daily routine in academic and industrial laboratories. The majority of such methods utilize gold as a material for the working electrodes. The usage of platinum working electrodes has fallen behind the utilization of gold electrodes. Many analysts have found existing platinum-electrode based methods more difficult to use and less reproducible than those using gold electrodes.
Many analytes are detectable with working electrodes made of different materials. Various electrode materials exhibit different performance in response to sample matrix accompanying the analytes of interest. Example 1: Alcohols are detectable with platinum and gold electrodes. If alcohols are present in samples with high concentrations of sugars, platinum electrodes are preferable because they are less affected by excessive levels of sugars than gold electrodes. Example 2: Cyanide anion can be detected either with a silver electrode or with a platinum electrode. In samples with a high concentration of sulfides, silver electrodes are easily affected and have been observed to lose any response to cyanide after very few injections of high sulfide samples. Platinum electrodes are much more robust in comparison and keep providing detection response to cyanide even after many injections of high sulfide samples. Consequently, there is a need to provide more reproducible electrochemical platinum-based methodology suitable for an expanded list of analytes and which can be performed with high S/N.
In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a pulsed electrochemical detection method comprising (a) flowing a liquid sample stream including at least one analyte past a working electrode in a flow-through cell; (b) applying at least three pulsed electrical potentials to said working electrode, (1) a first conditioning and detection potential, (2) a second detection and oxidative cleaning potential, and (3) a third reductive cleaning potential, said second potential being higher than said first and third potentials and said first potential being higher than said third potential; and (c) detecting the output from said working electrode during at least part of the time period of applying said second potential.
The present invention is directed to pulsed electrochemical detection methods. In one embodiment, the detection is performed by a current integration, known as Pulsed Coulometric Detection (PCD). In another embodiment, the detection is performed amperometrically, commonly known as Pulsed Amperometric Detection (PAD). The present description will refer to these two forms of detection as electrochemical detection unless otherwise specified. An important aspect of the invention is that the output from the working electrodes for detection, e.g., by PCD or PAD, is detected during the time period applying the highest potential of the cycle. In a specific embodiment, at least three different pulsed potentials are applied to the working electrode. The first pulse is a conditioning potential, the second is a detection and oxidative cleaning potential and the third is a reductive cleaning potential. In a preferred embodiment, the second potential is higher than the first and third potentials and the first potential is higher than the third potential. The output from the working electrode is measured during the time period applying the second potential. Thus, the output signal is detected during the highest potential in a pulsed waveform of applying the potential.
By way of illustration, the conditioning potential in
A suitable stepped triple-potential waveform with an integration time period at E2 is illustrated in
The first conditioning potential E1, which is lower than the second detection and oxidative cleaning potential and higher than the third reductive cleaning potential, serves to condition or activate the surface of the working electrodes for detection. In many cases, analytes of interest are undergoing a pre-adsorption at the electrode surface during the electrode conditioning. Typically the electrode surface is metal. Conditioning or activation is accomplished by formation of hydroxide radicals on the metal surface of the electrode or by creation of incomplete monolayers of metal oxides. The hydroxide radicals and freshly created small amounts of oxide are the key elements of catalytic conditions required for oxidative detection of many of organic and inorganic compounds at metal electrodes.
At the second or detection and oxidative cleaning potential, the surface of the electrode typically is still covered by the catalysts (radicals and/or oxides). The catalysts are essentially unstable oxygen compounds making oxygen available in the close proximity to pre-adsorbed analytes. The analytes of interest are being pre-adsorbed either during the conditioning step or during the detection step. Frequently, their pre-adsorption stretches over both steps. As the adsorbed analytes encounter the catalytic sites, oxidative desorption takes place producing electrons which are being detected as a signal. At the potential E2, the rate of the electrode reaction becomes more independent of adsorption rates than at the potential E1. The increased independence of the adsorption rates considerably improves the linearity of detection. Concurrently with the oxidative desorption producing the detection signal, the electrode surface coverage by the oxide typically increases. More stable, less catalytic oxides tend to become predominant, especially if an excessively long time period is selected for the E2 potential. In contrast, the prior art detection (PAD or PCD) takes place at the potential E1 where the rate of oxidative desorption is to a much larger degree controlled by the rate of adsorption and in consequence the linearity of calibration plots is inferior, especially in the case of platinum electrodes.
At the third cleaning reductive potential E3, the working electrode surface is freed of all oxygen species created during the conditioning and detection periods. Simultaneous with the removal of oxides, last remnants of adsorbed analytes and/or their oxidation products, which may have been trapped beneath excessive amounts of non-catalytic oxides, typically are also removed.
The present system can be used for detecting analytes in a liquid sample stream. It is applicable to flow injection analysis (FIA) for detecting one or more analytes in a liquid sample stream. It is particularly useful for detection of analytes in a liquid sample stream which have been previously separated through separation medium such as in a chromatographic column. The separated analytes are detected at the working electrode.
The potential waveform may be a potential step function which is constant during one or more of the three potential pulses or may be in any other form such as a potential sweep function so long as the relative potential levels of the three pulses are as set forth above.
By detection at the highest potential, the level of noise can be minimized and the range of linear calibration can be extended for a number of different analytes. Further, detection at the highest potential would move the signal detection from a range of oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide around 0.47 V on the electrodes. Because of that, baseline pulsations and oxygen dip may be eliminated or minimized. Further, the lower potentials of conditioning and cleaning can be optimized without regard to performance during detection. Thus, for example, analyte preadsorption or surface-preconditioning can be optimized at E1 and E3 of the waveform potential prior to detection. Another advantage is that the linearity of calibration is improved for many analytes. Furthermore, some new categories of analytes can be detected, such as ethers and ketones.
Suitable ranges of potentials and times for PED waveforms with platinum electrodes include:
Preferred ranges of potentials and times for PED waveforms with platinum electrodes include:
The detection period may take place during the entire time for applying the second potential, E2 for PED. However, it is preferable to detect only for the last 5%-90%, more preferably the last 10%-30% of the period for apply E2.
The invention has been described with respect to a pulsed electrochemical detection method including at least a first conditioning potential, a second detection and oxidative cleaning potential and a third reductive cleaning potential. It also encompasses systems which include the application of additional potentials before, after, or between the application of these potentials so long as the potential and detection relationship of the above three potentials set forth herein is present.
The system of the present invention is particularly effective for a working electrode in an exterior surface formed of a metal material such as platinum, iridium, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and lead. A preferred working material electrode is platinum.
One theoretical explanation of why the detection method of the present invention produces the foregoing advantages, particularly for the foregoing working electrodes is as follows. The choice of a relatively high potential removes the signal generation from the potential range of oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide. The artifacts such as "oxygen dip" or baseline pulsation stemming from sudden or periodic fluctuations of oxygen concentration in the eluent typically are thus eliminated. An additional advantage is gained by monitoring the signal producing oxidative desorption at the highest of potentials. The signal producing electrode reaction is no longer controlled by the rate of adsorption to the same degree as at the lower potentials. The range of linear calibration is expanded as a result.
The electrochemical detection method of the present invention is particularly effective for analytes such as inorganic anions, alcohols, sulfur amino acids, thioethers, sulfoxides, phenols, ethers, aldehyes, ketones, alkenes, alkynes, nitriles, amino acids, carboxylic acids and combinations thereof.
Typical potential waveforms for PCD and PAD are shown in
For the PCD waveforms in
In general, the present invention is applicable to the measurement of irreversible electrochemical processes related to analytes of interest superimposed or coincident with other irreversible or reversible processes. The measurement of surface-oxide catalyzed reactions during the formation of surface oxide is a single example of the PCD and/or PAD technique.
As described herein, the highest potential PCD or PAD method of the present invention is particularly applicable to detection of multiple chemical components in a liquid sample which have been separated by liquid chromatography, particularly high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The liquid sample is normally mixed with an eluent including an electrolyte as a developing reagent and passed through a chromatography column. The packing for the column typically would include gel or particulate forms of ion exchange or reverse phase packing. The technology is well developed. For example, see C. F. Simpson, Techniques of Liquid Chromatography, 1983, J. H. Knox, High Performance Liquid Chromatography, 1981, and K. Polkar et al., Liquid Chromatography in Clinical Analysis, 1981.
In addition, the PCD method is useful as a method of detection in flow injection analysis (FIA). Such systems are described in Skeggs, Amer. J. Clin. Path., 28, 311-322 (1957) and in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,013,413, 4,022,575, 4,177,677, 4,224,033, 4,227,973, 4,314,824, 4,315,754, 4,352,780, 4,399,102, 4,399,225, and 4,504,443. In such systems, these samples are supplied to the detector in a continuous liquid carrier flow rather than by being separated, e.g., in liquid chromatography. This technique is of limited application in comparison to the aforementioned liquid chromatographic system.
The pulsed electrochemical detection method of the present invention applies to the use of a two-electrode cell including a reference electrode and a working electrode and of a three-electrode cell including a reference electrode, a working electrode, and a counter electrode.
Suitable solutions may be prepared from Reagent Grade Chemicals (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, N.J.) and purified water (NANOpure II, Barnlsted Co., Boston Mass.
Suitable instrumentation for the electrochemical method of the present invention may be of the type set forth in the '924 patent.
The sample volumes injected may be 0.1-200 μl and the flow rate was 0.0001-5.000 ml min−1. The electrochemical flow-through cell may be of the "thin-layer" design (Dionex Corporation, Sunnyvale, Calif.) with a Pt electrode (ca. 0.0078 cm2). A manufacturer supplied Ag/AgCl electrode was used in all experiments.
All PED waveforms of
There are two main methods for estimating limits of detection. In the first of the two methods, an average value of baseline noise is determined over a specified period of time and calibrated in concentration units with the help of an injection of known amount of analyte of interest. In the majority of cases, a three-fold multiple of baseline noise expressed in concentration or amount units is specified as a limit of detection. In the second of the two methods, the operator determines a standard deviation in concentration or amount units of a series (n>3) of injections of a single standard of known concentration. The limit of detection is then expressed as a multiple of the calculated standard deviation. The multiplication factor is derived from a selected level of confidence and can be obtained from statistical tables. Analytical calibration is generated from injections of series of standards of different concentrations. The concentration range must be selected to be greater than the expected range of unknown concentrations. From the analytical response to known concentrations of standards, a calibration plot illustrating the dependence of analytical response on concentrations, is constructed. It is well known that linear calibration plots indicate better precision and accuracy than non linear calibration plots.
Using the conventional approach of signal integration at E1, unequal concentrations of oxygen in the injected samples and in the mobile phase can give rise to a substantial artifact called "oxygen dip." The oxygen dip is caused by a detection signal due to reduction of dissolved oxygen to hydrogen peroxide at the surface of the working electrode. In the majority of cases, the concentration of oxygen is higher in a sample than in the chromatographic mobile phase. Higher concentration of oxygen results in a greater value of negative current. This is manifested in the chromatograms as a sizeable change of baseline level in the negative direction. Depending on the chromatographic conditions, the resulting baseline disturbance can extend over several minutes. A reproducible detection of the beginning and end of a chromatographic peak depends on low baseline noise and absence of baseline excursions which are not caused by the analytes of interest. If platinum electrodes are used for chromatographic detection, the oxygen dip, if present, is frequently co-eluting with and distorting the shape of important analytes (e.g. methanol and ethanol).
The optimization of the waveforms for PCD, e.g., choice of
To illustrate the present invention, the following non-limiting examples of its practice are provided.
Using the prior art methodology, many chromatograms exhibit a feature called "oxygen dip" (negative peak 3, lower trace). Referring to

Propionic acid has the same number of carbon atoms and a carboxyl as the acrylic acid. The acrylic acid differs only in having a double bond. The higher detection signal in the lower of the two traces is explainable by oxidation of the double bond of acrylic acid at the platinum electrode.
Butanone and 3-butyn-2-one posses the same number of carbon atom and the same ketonic group. 3-butyn-2-one differs only in the additional triple bond. The higher detection signal in the lower of the two traces is explainable by an oxidation of the triple bond of 3-butyne-2-one at the platinum electrode.
Table 1 provides a list of all compounds and compound classes that are now detectable with platinum electrodes. Two new compound classes have been made accessible to electrochemical detection (ethers and ketones). Sensitivity of detection was improved for all compounds listed in the table.

Physics and science in general of course. Watching the movies but not TV. Cooking or having dinner somewhere nice. I really like taking a walk through the streets, sometime after sunset or before sunrise.
I like stories that are told in some unique and aesthetic way. I really enjoy a lot of old German literature, but also The Reader and The Parfume as some modern book (also the movies), the movies The Life of David Gale, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame, La fabouleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain... and almost all the Hitchcock's.
Music? I love music, i really do. Sadly I can't play any musical instrument, but I love to listen to people playing...
plenty ... and plenty still to come
I'm good at physics, math, german, arguing :) , making quiche and Chinese dishes (my mom's from China).
I always enjoy listening to people playing instruments and I would love to learn a bit if you want to teach.

1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Q&A
1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Question: Fuel Gauge Problems
I was wondering how to turn off the fuel gauge "low fuel" light/beep? I am having trouble with the fuel gauge dropping and going back to normal and then dropping again for no apparent reason. - dmcgarity
Answer 1
You probably have a failing fuel gauge sending unit in the tank. This is not uncommon. It's part of the fuel pump module which houses the pump and gauge sender. If you replace it, you'll either have to drop the tank or lift up the bed ot get to the top of the fuel tank where the unit is. I recommend raising the bed to get access. Here's a directory link for you if you don't want to fix it yourself: http://repairpal.com/directory?address=40213&car_brand_names=Dodge - Superbob

I have 2 domains www.domain1.com and www.domain2.com pointing to the same site.
I want to connect google analytics to them, to track the whole traffic to my site from both domains.
I saw answers to such question here in stackoverflow, that instruct to add the same analytics account ID for all the pages in domain1.com and domain2.com, but in domain1.com use setDomainName(domain1.com) and in domain2 use setDomainName(domain2.com).
That solution confuses me, since I don't understand how google knows that I want to allow summing the statistics from both those domains.
It seems that I can see for example stackoverflow.com's analytics ID and put it in my site, and as a result to add my statistics to stackoverflow's.
What do I miss here?

Cadillac DeVille Problem Report
Cadillac DeVille Check Engine Light on Due to Failure of Secondary Air Injection Pump
(26 reports)
Water may be drawn into the secondary air injection (AIR) pump causing the pump to fail and the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Our technicians tell us there is a kit available from General Motors to relocate the air intake for the pump which should prevent future damage from water intrusion.
The dealer told me secondaryair pump was bad. I found the air intake hose disconnected both ends. I installed new pump and intake cleared the code and the next cold start the light came back on. Now what? - 1bass

Technical Service Bulletin 02-06-04-024G covers this problem. I was charged $249 for the pump and $250 for the labor. I will be returning to the dealership because it appears I was overcharged for labor. According to the TSB, the labor rate should be 0.9 hrs, which wouldn't approach the $250 I was charged. The bottom of the TSB states: Labor Operation J6052 Secondary AIR injection Pump and Hose Assembly - Replacement Labor Time 0.9 hr* *This is a unique labor operation for bulletin use only. It will not be published in the Labor Time Guide. - Visitor
