R-44: 4-csatornás hordozható hangrögzítő
Kompakt 4-csatornás hangrögzítő
Weighing in at just less than 3 lbs including batteries makes the R-44 a perfect high quality recording solution for videographers, musicians, teachers, and sound designers to take anywhere.
Több Infó
Pro quality four channels recordings to large capacity SDHC cards.
The R-44 is designed for professional use within a very conveniently sized package. Capture up to 4 channels of uncompressed audio with selectable bit depths (16-bit or 24-bit) and sampling frequencies(44.1kHz/48kHz/88.2kHz/96kHz). R-44 employs SD cards or large capacity SDHC cards as the recording media. No moving parts enables the most silent and reliable operation possible.
Built-in stereo microphones and monitor speakers
Although the R-44 is compact, all the necessary functions are included. Built-in high quality microphones and speakers make recording and monitoring without external devices possible.
Built-in Effects
- 3-Band EQ: 3-band parametric EQ ; allows precise equalization with high/low shelving and peaking
- 6-Band Graphic EQ: 6 point frequency band equalization; ideal for recording
- Noise Gate: Minimizes noise during low audio levels, cuts low frequency noise
- Enhancer: Cleary defines and enhances sound; good for dialogue
- Comp & DeEsser: Cuts hissing, smoothens the sound, makes audio level uniform
- MS Mic Mixing: Generates stereo mix with specified spread from inputs of Mid-Side Microphones
* Effects are not available while sample rate is set to 192kHz
Built-in limiter, low-cut filter and studio class effects
An on-board limiter helps suppress sudden peaks in sound from an input source. A low-cut filter is included to help prevent things like wind noise or mic handling noise. Studio class effects such as 3-Band EQ, 6-Band GEQ, Enhancer or DeEsser can be used as tools to greatly improve audio quality. Effects can be applied while recording or simply for monitoring/playback.
Pre-Record function ensures you never miss that important moment again
The Pre-Record function buffers input signals for a user-definable amount of time. When the REC button is pressed, the material from the previous few seconds (selectable) is included. This also helps reduce sound bites at the beginning of a recording by not having to start the recorder too early.
Combo type analog jacks and digital output enables connection with a variety of devices
The combo input jacks (4) supports the connection of both XLR and 1/4 inch plugs. XLR inputs are equipped with phantom power. Eleven steps of input sensitivity enable the connection of various devices with a variety of inputs levels from microphones to musical instruments. High quality analog circuitry in the preamp ensures superior recording results
High-contrast Organic LED display and operation-oriented user interface
The high contrast, high response organic LED screen, viewable from wide angles ensures fluid operation in field recording situations. The high response of level meters makes precise level adjustments possible. All the necessary switches and knobs are located on the top and front panels. Self-lit buttons on all the key controls enable clear-cut recording operations.
Capture eight channels by linking two units
The Control Sync terminal enables synchronized operation of 2 units. Control the second unit from the master by simply connecting two with a stereo mini cable. The master unit can remotely control REC standby, REC start and REC stop of the slave unit. This function enables 8-channel recording in a compact space and at an affordable price.
Link to computer via high speed USB
The R-44 storage can be mounted on computers with a simple USB 2.0 connection. It is seen as an USB storage device on any computer. You can copy data back and forth with a simple drag & drop operation.
Four hours of recording with four AA batteries
The R-44 can be operated with 3 types of power: AC adapter and AA batteries. Four hours* of operation is possible with NiMH or alkaline batteries.
* at 16-bit/44.1kHz stereo. No phantom power and pre-record disabled.

This green tea is amazing. The flavor is the most authentic and tastes full, rich, and smoothing. It is not bitter and I can get 4-5 cups of tea from one tea bag. It's really full-leaf as the leaves open in the teabag. I love this company and love all their teas. The green jasmine is amazing as well. I keep coming back to this tea as the flavor is worth the price!

i dry-brined my turkey per the russ parson's recipe but didn't read the recipe carefully enough and didn't dry the turkey before salting it. i didn't rinse it, just took a fresh turkey out of the bag, trimmed it and took out the neck/giblets, then salted it. it wasn't too wet. is it fine as is or should i rinse it off and resalt (it's been about 2 hours since i dry-brined it)? thanks!
Merrill is a co-founder of Food52.
As long as the turkey wasn't too wet, I think it should be fine.
Kristen is the Creative Director of Food52
Yes, just pat it dry well when you take it out of the brining bag -- it's more important to dry the skin then, so it will crisp up nicely.

Psych, USA, Airs Friday 10/9c
Episode: "Tuesday the 17th" (Season Three, Episode 15)
Synopsis: Shawn and Gus are approached by Jason Cunningham, a childhood camp-mate who is planning on re-opening Camp Tikihama, where they spend their summers as kids. A counselor has gone missing, and Shawn and Gus are asked to solve the mystery without involving the police. Meanwhile, Lassie's ex-wife has asked to meet with him, and he has sudden hopes of reconciling the marriage.
Review: I really have mixed feelings about this episode. On one hand, I loved the nod to the many 80s slasher flicks over the years. Again, this shows how the people behind Psych have a true love for 80s pop culture. In this respect, they have a great grasp on the elements of Friday the 13th – from the name of the camp director being Jason (from Friday the 13th) Cunningham (from the director of Friday the 13th) to the design of the opening sequence and credits.
James Roday directed this episode, and he knows his 80s trivia. However, about half-way through the show, things take a really weird turn. On one hand, this is also a nod to the 80s slasher films where people are isolated at a camp ground with a psycho killer on the loose. But the darkness behind the story just didn't quite gel with a standard Psych episode.
The side story with Lassie and his wife (played by a woefully aged Justine Bateman) really seemed out of place. I suppose it was the only way they could fit Lassie and the Captain in the show. But even by pulling Jules into the shenanigans at Camp Tikihama seemed a bit of a stretch.
Ultimately, the first half was more awesome than awesome. The last half was just plain weird… although the Psych Out at the end with Gus in the canoe was hilarious.
Finally, did anyone else notice the Hannah Montana quality of Sissy (Luisa D'Oliveira) the camp counselor? I felt just a bit dirty after seeing her in a bikini.
Up Next: Cybill Shepherd and Rachael Leigh Cook reprise their roles as returning guest stars in this season finale which has Shawn and Gus looking for the Yin Yang serial killer.

Pastor in same-sex parent dispute remains jailed
MONTPELIER — A Virginia pastor who interfered with a custody dispute involving a lesbian couple in Vermont will remain jailed for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury.
Forty-seven-year-old Kenneth Miller was convicted last summer of helping Lisa Miller and her daughter leave the country in September 2009 to avoid sharing custody with her former partner. Prosecutors are trying to compel the pastor to testify against someone else involved in the flight, but Miller said his fundamentalist Christian faith prevents him from doing so.
Miller, of Stuarts Draft, Va., was jailed a week ago after refusing a judge's order that he testify before a grand jury. At a hearing Thursday said he hasn't changed his mind.
The Millers are not related.MORE IN This Just In

Picture: James Bond and 'M' appear in new 007 setting at Madame Tussauds Following on from the opening weekend of the latest James Bond instalment,...
Former James Bond stuntman Eddie Kidd has spoken for the first time about his estranged wife's assault conviction, insisting he spent years suffering the most "humiliating" and "shameful" abuse at the hands of his partner.
Samantha Kidd, 44, was jailed for five months in August (13) after pleading guilty to four counts of assault by beating for attacking her wheelchair-bound husband.
Eddie has now opened up about the drama in an emotional interview with Britain's The Sun newspaper, revealing he blamed himself for his wife's behaviour.
He says, "It tore me apart... She would slap me in the face and punch me in the chest and arms, strangle me and say horrible things. I loved her so much. I suppose, I still do. But when she was hitting me... I would just be crying inside and thinking, 'Why? Why are you doing this to me?'... As a man, any man, to be beaten by your wife is desperately humiliating and in a way, shameful. I ended up blaming myself... I took on so much when I was riding. Then after all the stunts, all the fanfare, I am sat in a chair being beaten by my wife and there is nothing I can do."
He goes on to urge other men suffering similar abuse not to be afraid to speak out, adding, "More men should open up and shouldn't be afraid of what their friends might think of them. Domestic abuse is horrific and I know first hand it can affect men as well as women."

@Sir Yuga, your base price in your second paragraph 69,990 is different in your specs section, which is 79,990. Just pointing.
yeah. you didnt read the article or worse, you did but were not able to comprehend. just pointing.
geez, everytime I look in the comments section after reading I always see comments like this. Magbasa naman please, ma-awa kayo sa sangkatauhan
My apologies. Nobody is immune to mistakes though. :-)
69k is for the base model read the article
ang nag adjust lang ba is the retina model? how about the older models?
hay naku sobrang mahal talaga ng mga gadgets ng apple, even ang ibang brand ang mahal! kung sa sweldo lang ng ordinaryong pinoy, di talaga makaka-afford ang nakararami. buti pa ang mga mayayaman 'jan, nag-aabroad at yung mga masa ng 1st world countries, papalit-palit lang kung ano ang latest. walang bang provincial rate? hehehehehe
It's a first-world product conceived in a first-world city by first-world people with a first-world paradigm for first-world consumers.
It just happens to be assembled by the world's poorest workers.
These products were never meant for the likes of us brown people.
Still on Intel HD Graphics. Still Overpriced.
Pag di kpa nkagamit or nagkaron nyan, ang ssabihin mo tlga e sobrang mahal. I can say na expensive ang macbook pro pero worth it lalo na kung techie ka or magagamit mo ang lahat ng features lalo na ang multimedia editing.if d kaya ng budget dont hate kasi it will only make you a desperate hater.
Not because people say it's overpriced doesn't mean they're haters. It's simply an outcry.
So in summary, Macs are for hipster techie-wannabies with superiority complex issues like the poster above.
what outcry?? nobody's forcing anyone to buy their products. Don't like it? then don't buy it, simple as that.
I said outcry over the prices, not the product itself nor Apple force-feeding them into our mouths.
I agree with you. It's like you're buying a social statement along with the actual product.
well with the way people are replying, isn't it hate just because their prices are high? come on, don't tell me you don't hate them also as you agree with a poster that said people using apple are techie wannabies.
like I said, don't like it then don't buy it wether it be price or brand.
kaya ka nga naangal kasi gusto mo pero di mo mabili kaya naiinis ka. nalabas nun desperado ka or hater ka. Pag di kasi kaya wag ipilit. Yung mga naangal dito nagkaron na ba kayo nyan? eh di tapos ang usapan.
You know what? I probably do. Because you clearly know what I think and feel ,right? Yes. You guys are genius!
And oh, did you know that Apple, along with Adobe and Microsoft were summoned in an Australian court for overpricing and price-fixing? It may not be the reason why their macs are now grands cheaper than before, but still, Apple does overprice.
How about Macbook Air, how much ang discount?
kung techie ka hindi ka bibili ng overprice product kung alam mo may masmaganda at masmura pa jan….
apir bro! tama
^this +1
pwera nalang kung may pambili ka. stop hatin if u havent used or had one. tatawanan lang kayo ng apple. kung techie ka bibili ka ng pasok sa budget mo na worth it diba. hindi lahat ng techie puro low end lang na nagmomodify
kung techie ka talga di ka bibili ng branded laptop/desktop mas makakatipid ka kung bibili ka ng parts then assemble mo nlang.
kung techie ka d ka mag aassemble ng laptop. isip2 din walang laptop na inaassemble/ as if madadala mo ang desktop mo anywhere. ano ba topic dito? macbook. hello? it depends on your budget bakit mo pinipilit ung makatipid. di naman lagi kailagan makatipid at bumili ng 2nd hand gadgets kung techie ka alam mo na sigurong di na maganda condition nun. kaya bumibili ang tao kahit na techie ka o hindi ay dahil sa tingin mo worth it ito sa pera mo.
Hindi niyo lang afford makabili ng Apple. Kayo rin ba nagcocomplain kung bakit mas mahal ang BMW nad Mercedes Benz sa Honda or Toyota?
yes. apple products are too expensive if compared to others. however, when you want to use the MAC OS X and at the same time have WINDOWS on the side, ITS REASONABLE.
where to buy it cheapest ?
May pera ka, e di bili ka. Wala, maghackintosh ka. Hnd mo alam, pag aralan mo. Wag pahirapan ang sarili. Kung tutuusin, mas marami pang nagagawa sa Windows platform. Ma-virus lang nga, but, yun e kung hnd mo alam pinaggagawa mo sa internet.
If serious kang bumili ng apple products as of the moment, strive and work for it, until such time that the price tag is not a big deal for you anymore.
Sir, kelan kaya to magiging available? Nag try ako magcheck sa mga stores, yung dati pa rin mga stock nila tapos mas mahal pa..

Through ethnographic fieldwork incorporating interviews, recorded conversations, and participant observations, the study shows how Senegalese immigrants in different countries conceptualize and perform their identities through multilingual practices. Based on the discourse-analytic approach adopted in the study, it is not only what they say that conveys certain understandings of self and environment. It is also how they speak—the ways in which they switch between languages and structure their discourse—that contributes to their means of making identity claims.

On Will Coal Exports Abroad Offset Hard-Won Carbon Reductions at Home?
For further reading, here's another interesting analysis of this thorny question (which reaches different conclusions than Wolak): Power & Power, 2013: "The Impact of Powder River Basin Coal Exports on Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions" (A Report for the Energy Foundation).
p.s. if you're both named "Power," how can you not form an electricity-related consulting practice?! ;)
On When Politics Constraints Carbon Pricing, Part 3: Why Carbon Revenues are Just as Important as "Putting a Price on Carbon"
Hi Jeff,
Thanks! And thanks for following the series.
These are great questions. I'll try to take them in turn:
1. I have indeed seen some excellent modeling of the distributional impacts of a cap and dividend proposal, which you can find from James Boyce and Matthew Riddle at UMass Amherst here. They model net impacts on households on each income decile and in each state and find "at least 60% of households receive net benefits: the dividends more than offset the impact of higher fossil fuel prices on their real incomes." So your intuition seems spot on. A equal per capita carbon dividend would be a progressive income shift.
Dallas Burtraw and colleagues at Resources for the Future modelled the distributional impacts of a variety of uses of revenues from a cap and trade program on the U.S. electricity sector only, which you may find helpful on this topic as well.
A tax shift (i.e. income tax cut) would be less directly progressive, as unless it is fully refundable, it would miss out on low-income non-tax payers, although for those it would benefit, it would be progressive if it was enacted as a tax cut in equal dollar terms for each income bracket. So a tax shift might end up more benefiting the middle class over lower incomes unless designed with some kind of low income payments or if tax credits were fully refundable. Note though that most real-world tax shift proposals I've seen (including BC's, Australia's now-dead tax, and the failed Canadian Green Shift) all include business income tax cuts as well to offset impacts to business and industry. That would make the tax less progressive overall, as business owners and shareholders tend to be higher income.
2 & 3. If an effective public education campaign convinced a majority of Americans that they would end up ahead because of a cap/tax and dividend scheme, I'm sure it would increase public support versus a cap/tax with non-earmarked use of funds. That said, there are three things to consider: First, the gains for individuals would be minor and diffuse. Are citizens really going to want to see a carbon tax that forces changes in their behavior so that they can earn an extra $50 or $150 per household per year? Will they trust that the government is really going to give them their money back? If they can save another $50 by changing their habits, will they see that as a positive, or will they question why they are being forced to change their habits in the first place? I'm sure there's going to be a fair amount of skepticism to that proposal, even if the math works out in their favor on an annual basis. Second, the wealthier income brackets lose out, and it's sad to say, but in our current American version of "democracy," these income brackets have a disproportional impact on politics. Third, a real per capita dividend approach does nothing to blunt impacts on industry (all the revenues go to households as dividends). So the political economy constraints arising from industries with high asset specificity (as discussed in Part 1) will be fully unleashed in opposition to any cap/tax and dividend proposal.
So in sum, I think using revenues for dividends increases somewhat the level of carbon price that is politically sustainable. But how far? Certainly the use of dividends does not free carbon pricing from political economy constraints! Far from it. So let's be optimistic and say that it doubles the public willingnes to pay for carbon pricing: so if we can see a WTP equivalent to a $2-8/ton of CO2 tax without dividends, then maybe we can increase that to $4-16/ton CO2. But the dividends do nothing to blunt industry opposition to the tax. Those constraints will surely further limit if not outright prevent the carbon price. So where do these dividends leave us? My contention is that we'd still end up with a potentially feasible carbon tax that is far below the social cost of carbon. What do you think?
4. I think that if you could get it implemented, the dividends would probably make the carbon tax more durable over time. Maybe. Then again, getting rid of the tax entirely would always have some appeal.
5. I think that there would be three keys to a politically sustainable tax and invest scheme: 1. keep the carbon tax low in the first place. A $5 per ton carbon tax would raise about $25 billion per year in the U.S. for example, but raise the cost of a gallon of gasoline by only about 5 cents and would have a very negligible impact on electricity prices. A modest tax is much less likely to become the focus of public ire. 2. Structure RD&D programs wisely. See the links in my comment to Joris below on how to do that, to minimize the changes of a major 'debacle' like Solyndra. And 3. invest in a way that really drives down the cost of clean energy over time. That reduces the "lift" that the carbon price itself has to accomplish and thus helps ensure the tax and stay low while finishing the job on the Co2 reduction side. All in all, I'm pretty confident you could make something like that work. What do you think?
On When Politics Constraints Carbon Pricing, Part 3: Why Carbon Revenues are Just as Important as "Putting a Price on Carbon"
Dear Joris,
Thanks for following along through the full series, and for your comments. Let me try to answer some of your questions/comments here.
First, you seem skeptical that government funded RD&D programs can yield success and assert that "90% of money" is most likely to be wasted. I hope that a careful look at the history of American innovation and the role of government would temper your skepticism. I refer you to my 2010 collection of case studies, "Where Good Technologies Come From," which documents how everything from jet engines and nuclear power to biopharmacueticals, advances in agrosciences, and of course, the semiconductor, Internet and computers all come more or less direclty out of government-funded and, more often than not, government-led innovation initiatives. You may also wish to look at the role of government RD&D programs in developing most of the key technologies underlying the shale gas and oil revolutions now changing the North American energy landscape. In fact, it's very hard to come up with an example of an important 20th or early 21st century invention that does not trace back at one or more critical junctures to government-funded RD&D programs. So I do not at all share view that government R&D is a wasteful use of carbon revenues. Even if the "success rate" for project funding is 1 in 10 as you assert, that would be a remarkable impact on the energy landscape, and while you characterize that situation as "wasting" 9 out of 10 dollars, you also ignore the much larger societal returns that could be expected from those 1 in 10 successes. How do we quantify the returns on government investment in microchips? Or shale gas? Or jet engines? Or ... You get my point I hope.
That said, I appreciate the need to discipline R&D programs well and to structure institutional incentives and program design to maximize the bang for every buck. Just because one big success can pay for many failures does not mean we want to court failure unecessarily. But we know plenty about how to structure R&D programs well (and poorly). For some good suggestions on how to get more bang for the buck, I refer you to the works of the Energy Innovation Reform Project, the Center for Clean Energy Innovation, the American Energy Innovation Council, and my own Congressional testimony based on my years of work at the Breakthrough Institute. These are solvabe problems.
Second, on the use of revenues to procure additional emissions abatement above and beyond that secured by a carbon tax: I don't think this needs to be done in a wasteful manner either (and I disagree with what seems to be a blanket dismissal of all renewable energy subsidy programs as well). For ideas on how to structure deployment subsidies for clean energy well, see this report I co-authored with analysts at the Brookings Institution, Breakhrough Institute, and World Resources Institute. Reverse auctions and other competitive price discovery mechanisms can harness market forces and ensure much more efficient outcomes than conventional subsidy programs.
Finally, on why the tax shift and dividend proposals are not as popular as you might expect, my theory is this (and this is informed by the general results of the polling I've seen and discuss in the post as well some focus group work I saw on the original "Sky Trust" cap and dividend proposal): people generally dont like the idea of the government imposing a tax principally to change their own behavior. It feels like social engineering and they don't appreciate it. The idea that they "get their money back" may help blunt the initial sting of the tax, but that sting doesn't go away entirely, and the idea that the government is going to take money out of one pocket, shuffle it around in some way, and then put it back in your other pocket is a tough sell I think. Despite a growing mistrust of government in America, we still would generally prefer that the government stay out of our business, and if it must get involved -- that is, if we see there being a real problem that requires government intervention -- we prefer the idea that the government takes only as much revenues as necessary and uses the revenue to actually solve the problem. That's just one narrative, and I'm sure there are many responses. But I think that's the general reaction that undermines the support cap and dividend or tax shift advocates assume their proposals will garner.
What do you think?
On When Politics Constraints Carbon Pricing, Part 3: Why Carbon Revenues are Just as Important as "Putting a Price on Carbon"
Dear Bob,
Thanks for the comment. I actually considered writing about BC's carbon tax experience -- as well as other subnational examples like the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in the Northeastern US and California's AB 32 -- but cut them for the sake of brevity, and focused only on national-level examples (my paper actually discusses the two subnational US examples however).
That said, I have followed BC's carbon tax experience over the years. At $30/ton, it's one of the few policies (the only one really) in North America to reach anything close to what economist's estimate as the social cost of carbon (although still on the low end of those estimates, which range from roughly $15-150/ton and rise over time).Still, BC has extremely low carbon emissions from the electricity sector, which is dominated by hydropower, so the impact of BC's carbon tax per household is lower than in most other regions of North America. BC residents feel the impact mostly in gasoline costs, which have risen about 7 cents per liter. BC consumes about 4.5 billion liters of transportation fuel per year, or about 975 liters per year per resident. So that's only on the order of $70 per person per year in higher fuel costs. Assuming transportation fuel cost increases represent two-thirds of the total impact on household costs, BC's apparent household WTP for climate policy is probably still right within (or at least not far off) the $80-200 per household per year range evident in the United States (as described in my paper). And that's before considering that BC's carbon tax includes a significant tax shift (cuts to personal and business tax income rates) to offset the initial cost increases due to the carbon tax. That's a very quick back of the envelope estimate, but I doubt I'm off by anything close to an order of magnitude. Thus, it looks to me that while BC's policy achieves a higher carbon price than in other jurisdictions, the political economy constraints there are no less stringent than elsewhere in North America. Total household initial costs are fairly low still, and that's likely critical to the political sustainability of BC's carbon tax policy.
So you point to BC as the model for everwhere else. I'm not so sure. If you tried to implement the BC tax shift approach elsewhere, in regions with a higher carbon footprint per household, you'd wind up with a much lower and thus less effective carbon tax. And if you spend all of your revenues on tax rebates instead of investing in clean energy R&D and additional abatement, you will accomplish little else. There are of course other subnational examples to keep an eye on. RGGI has seen substantial cuts (on the order of 40%) to electricity sector CO2 in the Northeast, although most of that is likely due to the ongoing shift from coal (and oil) to gas-fired plants in the region. That said, RGGI's modest (just about $3/ton CO2) and politically sustained carbon price has also raised billions in revenues across the region that have been directed to energy efficiency programs, clean energy RD&D programs at places like NYSERDA and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, and other mitigation efforts. California is considering similar uses for the revenues generated by its AB32 cap and trade program, which took effect in 2012. Your comment also raises three great questions for further research. I don't have a direct response for those here, but suffice to say, those are all important considerations. For now, I'll just focus the conversation on the BC experience and what we can learn there. I personally see another example of a politically constrained carbon price, and not necessarily a model for widespread replication elsewhere...

Hi Peter,
How would this option 3 differ from the status quo? What measures would you suggest to make it a reality? And why are you confident it will lead to substantial emissions reductions?
I'm not totally clear what you are suggesting so it is hard to respond. Thanks.

On Why Does Politics Keep Getting in the Way of Pricing Carbon? - Part 1
Hi Marchant,
The inside-baseball dynamics on the Hill clearly play in here too. I've seen enough legislative efforts to know how that works and I don't mean to neglect those factors. In my view, however, they are the secondary constraints. If the primary political economy constraints are not attended it, the chances of having any requisite support on the Hill will be slim. In contrast, if the primary political constraints are attended to and not violated, the inside baseball can progress and a viable Hill strategy, as you discuss here, can be developed.
On Why Does Politics Keep Getting in the Way of Pricing Carbon? - Part 1
The influence of money in politics is clearly another manifestation of the political obstancles arising from entrenched commercial interests. However, you write: "Jim Hansen has proposed the best system of Carbon Tax that I know of called Tax and Dividend but despite it being an election winner for any party that proposes it (who could resist getting a dividend in their bank account every month from 'the man'), no party would dare anger their financial masters by proposing it." I will discuss this proposal in more detail in Part 3, but I just wanted to clarify, there not great evidence that this is such a political winner. The dividends do soften public opposition (from voters) to carbon pricing (relative to using revenues for general budget purposes) but two things to keep in mind: 1) it's not a dividend "from the man," it's a refund from taxes we would each pay ourselves. As a per capita dividend, it would be a progressive redistribution of carbon revenues, but it's still something we all have to pay, and the initial hit to our pockets is where the public opposition arises. 2) the dividends do nothing to blunt industrial opposition to the proposal, as they don't get any money back. This is a key difference between the cap and dividend proposals (100% of revenues go back to citizens via equal per person dividends) and other "tax shift" propoposals which would use revenues to reduce income and usually corporate taxes as well (as in BC and Australia). Anyway, stay tuned for Part 3. How the revenues from a carbon pricing policy are used can be more important than the price itself, but I'm not convinced rebates, dividends, or tax shifts are the best use for such funds. See part 3 on what I see as a much superior proposal, politically, environmentally, and economically...

On Why Does Politics Keep Getting in the Way of Pricing Carbon? - Part 1
Hi Schalk and thanks for the comment,
"Skepticism" of climate change is indeed one factor in public opposition to strong carbon pricing policies. However, I personally believe the role skeptics play in climate policy debates is a bit overblown. The more fundamental economic interests are more powerful I believe, and I think the public opinion evidence would support that interpretation, as in most nations I've looked at, and particularly in the United States, we see strong majorities believe that climate change represents a problem to be addressed, but fairly weak support for expenditures or costs associated with confronting that challenge. Yes, there are more skeptics among the conservative portions of the US (and other) populations. I'd recommend the "Six Americas" series of studies for more on that. But I also think that this expression of skepticism may also be a case of "motivated cognition" - that is, if the idea of confronting climate change creates cognitive dissonance with your beliefs, worldview, or personal interests, one has a strong motivation to develop a rationale and understanding of the problem that reduces or eliminates that cognitive dissonance. This can easily manifest as skepticism of the underlying science or risk. Anyway, the role of "skeptics" in climate politics is a very interesting topic, and one I'd love to hear more informed views on from those who may have spent time researching this topic. Cheers,

Annual Bibliography of Film Studies-2007
Telotte, J. P., Post Script
As has become our practice with Post Script's Annual Bibliography, I would like to introduce it by pointing up a number of the trends and developments that become apparent as one surveys recent film scholarship. Perhaps the most obvious place to start is with the special issues that we increasingly see characterizing journal publication, since we can assume that they reflect the current concerns of editors and of the larger critical community. The other obvious element to consider is simple quantification, as we look not only at the raw numbers of essays in a particular category of film research, but also how those numbers compare to those we have seen in the same categories over recent years.
In last year's edition of the Bibliography, we noted that the great majority of special issues seemed to reflect the increasing pattern of internationalism in both film production and film criticism. For 2007 it is difficult to point to a similarly dominant emphasis. In fact, what may be most striking for this year is the very variety of interests that have generated special issues. Among this diversity, we might especially note College English's symposium on the film Crash and its presentation of racial issues, Film Criticism's number on digital effects in popular film, Film Quarterly's collection of essays on Ang Lee's controversial Brokeback Mountain, Canadian Journal of Film Studies' issue on documentary, Journal of Popular Film and Television's number on film and the other arts, Post Script's own issues on documentary film and the film criticism of Susan Sontag, Quarterly Review of Film and Video's "Postcolonialism and Cybernetic Cultural Theory" issue, October's reconsideration of the work of Dziga Vertov, with its special emphasis on his links to Constructivist art, and Velvet Light Trap's collection of essays and interviews on pornography studies and on the documentary. These varied numbers seem to suggest no clear trend, other than the very diversity and indeed vitality of contemporary film studies.
In terms of sheer numbers of articles, however, we can observe certain directions, some of them quite predictable. After we saw a spike in the number of pieces on actors in 2006, this year's bibliography records a sharp drop in such efforts, as it also does in articles categorized under the headings of "Film History" and "Screenwriting." Where we can note significant gains are in articles devoted to digital media, director studies, documentary film, and international filmmaking. The first of these seems inevitable, for as digital technology increasingly becomes central to all filmmaking, it will also increasingly bulk into the body of film criticism itself. The second of these developments seems part of the cyclical focus on the filmmaker that we have been observing for a number of years with the bibliography. The latter two increases continue the rising interest we have seen in recent years in documentary--coupled with the appearance in 2007 of a new journal, Studies in Documentary Film, dedicated to the form--and in the international cinema.
Not subject to such trends, the Annual Bibliography retains the format that has served us well for many years, including those categories that have repeatedly demonstrated their usefulness. Each English-language film article receives a single full citation, based on the current MLA style, although many of the entries are also cross-referenced to one or more additional categories. Where necessary, entries also receive a brief annotation. Except in the cases of the "Actors / Actresses" and "Directors" categories, entries are all alphabetized according to the authors' last names, and we abbreviate journal citations in line with the "Periodicals Indexed" listing that follows. As in the past, we welcome any suggestions our readers might have for streamlining the format, adding additional journals, or introducing other categories.
I would also note that the production of this research tool remains very much a group effort. …

Sparring video - Advice?
Hello everyone.
Below is a video of myself and a classmate sparring this past Saturday. I am wearing the grey shirt. We're going fairly light and just trying to learn the basics.
I've been doing MT since the beginning of the year and have been sparring since the end of February.
What I see as my flaws here are: my kicks are telegraphed at times and I don't come in enough after jabs to get additional strikes when opportunities arise.
Can anyone suggest anything else?
Thanks :)

I don't have a whole lot of striking experience, but I suggest you stay up on your heels a little more and practice with your hands a bit more. Your punches looked a little sluggish.
Again, I'm no expert but maybe aim your jabs a little lower?

Moving around on the balls of your feet should help with your speed and by doing that you should be able to bounce in and out of whatever range you choose to be in. If you develop that and your punching speed you should be pretty good to go.
Next time you spar just make sure you remember to keep on the balls of your feet. Make sure you do it, because in the heat of the fight it's one of the easiest things to forget to do.

If you were the guy in the black shirt, I'd be more concerned. His kicks are pretty terrible.
It also looked like your punches were all to the head. Don't underestimate the power of a good body shot.

I would say try to stand your ground more often and check kicks more instead of trying to dodge every kick. I think this will make your defense better and open up more opportunities for counters. Of course you should avoid some kicks but you should also learn to block more effectively.
Also you should try to maintain your stance when moving around. You have a habit of walking backward, you should step back with the rear leg and then the lead in most cases in order to maintain your stance and balance."The next one I will take will pay for my loss. Someone has to pay!" ~ The Axe Murderer

Throw combinations and more importantly finish your combinations. If you are throwing a jab cross hook cross and the first cross misses that doesn't mean you're done and maybe try again next time. Stay in the pocket and finish your combination.
You are also jumping in and out of range without much reason. You want to be moving in and out of range when it is good for you and bad for your opponent. Only move out of range when you are protected and need to stop getting hit. If you partner throws one glancing shot it is not time to jump out of range.
The best advice I've ever been given about changing range is that you want to follow your opponents shots in. As they are pulling their hands back hopefully from missing you come in right behind their hands and hit them before they can cover. Many fighters take a second to bring their hands back to guard. This is a great time to hit them in the face.

Pine Marten (Martes martes)
The pine marten (Martes martes) is likely to have arrived in Britain and Ireland soon after the end of the last glaciation.
It has been suggested that 6,500 years ago, when Britain and Ireland had greater tree cover, the pine marten was the second most common carnivore in Britain. The clearance of these woodlands, together with predator control, had a devastating effect on the pine marten population and by 1915 this species was confined to just a few of the more remote areas across Britain and Ireland. Small populations survived in Wales and the Marches and in areas of northern England, with relatively strong populations still present in parts of the Scottish Highlands.
Today, populations are expanding in number and range in Scotland and Ireland. In England and Wales the population has not recovered from its decline and pine martens live at very low densities with a very restricted distribution. In England, most reports come from rugged upland areas such as the Lake District, Pennines, Cheviots and North York Moors; similarly in Wales the main strongholds are the Cambrian Mountains, Snowdonia and the uplands of central southern Wales.
Our work
The VWT has been studying the pine marten for more than 30 years and has published, or has contributed to, a number of research papers on the pine marten. In 2011, the Trust developed a long-term Pine Marten Conservation Strategy in collaboration with other statutory and voluntary conservation bodies. What is clear from our extensive studies carried out over several decades is that numbers of this elusive mammal in England and Wales are so low that without intervention the pine marten is likely to go extinct in England and Wales.
In 2014, the VWT in consultation with and support from these conservation bodies launched its Pine Marten Recovery Project. The aim of the project is to restore self-sustaining populations of pine martens to England and Wales. The first step was completed in autumn 2015, with the translocation of 20 pine marten from Scotland to mid-Wales. You can find out more about this ground-breaking project on the dedicate project website.

In fact, if you were to look up the definition of the triple crown of motorsport, you will see the Indy 500 as one of the three most prestigious races in the world. Also the pride from England was overwhelming for Jimmy Clark and Graham Hill when they won the 500, so your perception is clearly blinded by something. Newsflash! F1 is not the pinnacle of motorsport and talent has less to do with having a seat there, more than in any other motorsport on the planet.

Gundy hires a Leach disciple
Dana Holgorsen, Mike Gundy's new offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State, is the ultimate Mike Leach disciple. No way of knowing just yet what the hiring of Holgorsen means for the Cowboys' offense or even how the staff structure will work on a staff that for two years has had a head coach running the offense. But it certainly seems like OSU is making a move toward a Leach-style offense. No other conclusion can be reached.
Holgorsen has spent the last two years at the University of Houston, which with quarterback Case Keenum has run an offense similar, but not exact, to Leach's revolutionary spread at Texas Tech. But Holgorsen's ties with Leach run as deep as they possibly could.
Holgorsen was a wide receiver at Iowa Wesleyan for Leach, who was offensive coordinator there in 1990 and 1991. Leach and head coach Hal Mumme went on to Valdosta State, and Holgorsen joined their staff after he graduated from Iowa Wesleyan. Holgorsen stayed at Valdosta State for three years, 1993-95, then left for Mississippi College. When Leach became head coach at Texas Tech in 2000, he hired Holgorsen to his staff.
Holgorsen stayed in Lubbock through the 2007 season before joining Kevin Sumlin's Houston staff. So add it up. Two years with Leach at Iowa Wesleyan, three years at Valdosta State and eight years at Tech. That's 13 seasons playing for, coaching with or coaching for Leach in the last 20 years.
Holgorsen was offensive coordinator at Tech when he left. He went to Houston so he could run the offense; Leach was the mastermind in Lubbock. It's hard to imagine Holgorsen coming to OSU without also being handed the reins of the offense. It's also hard to imagine Holgorsen not implementing the Mumme/Leach offense that has been such a major part of his football career.

Publisher's Description
Seeing my mother as the lead story on the six o'clock news was no great cause for alarm...until the camera revealed her chained to a downtown monument!
I thought I knew my mother-but right now I'm not sure I even know myself. I'm currently a journalist for the Savannah Chronicle. And I don't need drama. Really, I can create my own. Who needs extra? But in spite of the mind-boggling events in Savannah this week, the truth is going to be revealed by one of its very own. I am Savannah...from Savannah.
Product Reviews
Melody5 Stars Out Of 5February 27, 2008MelodyI am now reading this book again for the bajillionth time! I love that Savannah's mom takes a stand for the Ten Commandments, and I really got annoyed (well, as annoyed as it's possible to be with Savannah!!) because Savannah was so afraid of being seen as fanatical that she didn't want to be seen with her mom, or support her. But, she came around, and I really liked how she came to have a deeper understanding of her mom's craziness...which wasn't that crazy after all.Another excellent book, with hilarious situations and conversations...and also a brilliantly written plot.
Shannon5 Stars Out Of 5January 27, 2008ShannonIf you have ever lived in Savannah, then this book comes to life as you read it. I lived there for three years and it took me back to all of those places that I loved! It is so visual!! It is comical yet is great in the aspect that it shows that all daughters have that time in life that they finally figure out that their mother is not crazy after all. They are just different. I recommend all of Denise Hildreth's novels!!
Maria5 Stars Out Of 5December 1, 2006MariaI found this book to be just as good as the first one, which I loved. I couldn't get enough of it. Two thumbs up to the author, Denise Hildreth. Keep up the good work!
Deborah5 Stars Out Of 5November 2, 2006DeborahSavannah (from Savannah) is alarmed to hear that her mother has chained herself to the monument of the 10 commandments outside of the courthouse. She can't believe that her beauty queen mother, who always has to look perfect, is willing to sit outside in public in the same clothes for days. Thus Savannah tries to distance herself away from her mother, dealing instead with a homeless lady who keeps asking her for food, a beauty queen killing her boyfriend and a new female reporter who's caught the eye of every guy in town. Eventually, Savannah comes to realize her mother's stance and respects her.I liked how this story had Savannah come to better terms with her mother. In the first book, the reader is shown how the two are completely different. This story had Savannah finally understanding her mom, standing up for her, and learning to be proud of her. I found the scenes with Amber funny as usual. Between her rehearsed speech on Ronald Reagan and her chasing and beating up the purse snatcher I was in stitches. The scenes with the picnic with Grant was touching because it's hard to when someone you love has moved on with another. I was also relived that Savannah has decided to cut back on the coke. It's a wonder that she doesn't suffer from caffeine overdose or stained teeth!I'd recommend this book for anyone who likes chick lit, mother-daughter stories or Southern culture.
Kristen5 Stars Out Of 5July 21, 2006KristenThis was even better than Savannah From Savannah. Once again, it was very enjoyable to see the events unfold in the book when Savannah's mother is chained to the monument and how Savannah reacts to it.

Roger Clemens thanks grand jury with lifetime supply of premium horse urine
WASHINGTON, DC - Following being cleared on all charges in his perjury trial, former major league baseball pitcher Roger Clemens has thanked members of the grand jury by presenting them with a lifetime supply of the highest quality horse urine available.
"Today, justice has prevailed," said Clemens shortly after the verdict was rendered. "And I can think of no better way of repaying this wonderful and upstanding citizens of the jury then by giving them the gift that keeps on giving. A lifetime supply of horse urine. I've found it to be useful in many ways in my own life, and I'm sure that they will feel the same."
"I was pretty shocked when I went out to my car," said juror Henry Chamberlain. "It looked like someone was brewing a gallon of sun tea on my hood. Then I read the note that came with it and could not believe what a giving, caring individual Mr. Clemens is. The note outlined the many uses of horse urine, and said that he hopes that we always use it in good health, and to always think of him."
The note pointed out some of Clemens favorite uses for the equine discharge. They include using it as a base for a garden fountain and using it as an ammonia based cleaning supply. Also provided were complex directions for the boiling and distillation of the substance into what Clemens calls, "a dietary supplement that will give you a real pick-me-up every morning" which he describes as "better than that sissy Wheaties crap."
As to the legality of offering gifts to jurors who had been assigned to judge him, Clemens has no regrets, "I'm not sure if it is ethical or against the rules or whatever," said the big right hander. "I also really don't care. If it looks like I might get in trouble for it, I'll just deny that I ever did it and then nothing will happen to me. It's worked for me in life so far."

When it comes to the red carpet, Emma Watson is one of the most exciting actresses to watch. She (and her dress) didn't disappoint at the 2014 Golden Globes.
It didn't take very long for things to get downright nutty at tonight's Golden Globe awards. Following a hilarious opening from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and a super awkward but totally endearing acceptance speech from Jennifer Lawrence, veteran actress Jacqueline Bisset took the stage to accept an award for Best Supporting Actress for a mini-series or TV movie for her performance in 'Dancing on the Edge.' And then things got pretty crazy.
"Welcome to the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and Lee Daniels' 'The Butler' Golden Globes awards," chimed in the famous comediennes, who hosted the live awards ceremony on Sunday, January 12, for the second time. Having killed it with their hosting duties for last year's ceremony, the duo once again turned out some memorable jokes. Watch their full opening monologue from the 2014 Golden Globes awards right here!
After coming to an end last year, 'Breaking Bad' managed to squeeze out one last "Best Television Series" award, taking the big prize at the 2014 Golden Globes.

Invista, in collaboration with Insl-x, has introduced StainMaster paint, a new line of paint for the U.S. architectural paint market. The high performance paint utilizes special resins and pigments that allow for thicker coverage and smoother flow on walls, ceilings and other surfaces.
The StainMaster paint line will include primer and ceiling paint and is available in multiple sheen finishes.
"The StainMaster brand commands over 90% consumer awareness and consumers trust the Stainmaster brand," said Ana Torrence, vice president of Home & Hospitality at Invista. "Statistical market research indicates that approximately 80% of consumers surveyed would be extremely likely or very likely to purchase StainMaster paint when it was compared to other well known premium paint manufacturer's products. This demonstrates the strong equity for the StainMaster brand in this category."
Manufactured by Insl-x Products Corp., the paint products are constructed of a 100% acrylic high solids formulation exclusive to the StainMaster paint line.
"Invista sought out a trademark license with Insl-x because of our capabilities in quality control and experience creating high-performance specialty coatings," said Jim Weil, president of Insl-x. "Everyone we have spoken with regarding StainMaster paint shares in our excitement about delivering something new to the paint industry."

Yann Martel's 2001 novel Life of Pi divided readers: some found its wide-eyed spirituality and magic-realist invention intoxicating, while others choked on its pantheistic platitudes and winsome authorial voice. Against all the odds, Ang Lee's epic 3D adaptation might just unite the two camps: fans will lap up the film's dedication to capturing the spirit of Martel's words, while doubters may well find themselves – slowly, grudgingly – persuaded by the film's astonishing visual confidence and narrative force.

They have known that I smoke for years, but they don't agree with it and don't like to see any evidence of it, so I try to be respectful when I'm around them. I usually don't carry weed in my car unless I'm picking it up, but when I go stay at my parent's house, I leave it in my car to try and keep it out of their sight.
So where do you hide your weed when you have to keep it in your car? I've always just slid a pouch with some bud and a bowl up under the driver's seat, and only taken it out when I'm going to a friend's house to smoke. I'm not really worried about cops cause I always drive the speed limit and rarely smoke in my car, so that isn't the biggest concern.
What I'm worried about is my parents being in my car. When I go home for spring break soon, I'm gonna have to get my car fixed, and my parents might drive it a couple of times. I really don't want to worry and be paranoid about my weed the whole time, so I've got to find a better spot.
Where is a spot that I can stash my bud and it will be very hard to find for others, but relatively accessible for me if I know where it is? I was thinking of maybe taking some of the foam out of the arm-rest and finding a way to stuff it in there? Any ideas would be appreciated.... I drive a Ford Crown Vic by the way.

Oh my gosh you guys!
My instructor let me canter for real for the first time today!
I've cantered before...mostly on trails...sometimes on an old horse who trotted with her hind legs and cantered with her front...on Western horses and in Western saddles and I don't really count it. But I can count this!!
After jumping a really small vertical and doing pretty good the more advanced girl in my group asked if she could canter the jump. Erin said yes and then I asked when the rest of the people in my group could canter. She thought about it for a few seconds and then said I should try switching with Shannon after she cantered. Then Shannon said something and I asked my instructor what was wrong with Lucky's canter. She just "hmm"ed and said I could try it. So I did . And then I went the other direction too and did much better the second time (though I did pretty good the first time too). Lucky just gets head strong and fast (like pretty much always lol...and this was after getting her worked up for her favorite thing in the world...JUMPING ). Her canter is actually pretty smooth. Today she decided she didn't like listening to my leg aides so much though so sometimes on the corners she wouldn't bend correctly and I would be thrown almost to the side of the saddle if that makes sense. But I made her listen to me and I got her straightened out for the most part
I was so happy and excited I was talking about it pretty much all the way home. My poor dad was trying to listen to his sports people
Why don't you guys tell me some of your recent steps forward too?

(Celulas beta)
Beta cells are cells that make insulin, a hormone that controls the level of glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood. Beta cells are found in the pancreas within clusters of cells known as islets. In type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system mistakenly destroys the beta cells. Without beta cells, the pancreas can't make insulin.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
