Michael Nesmith-Magnetic South
Magnetic South (Pacific Arts 1970)
http://www.mediafire.com/?bzw3ccvwn3s
I’ve already covered the history of Michael Nesmith on a previous post, so we’ll skip the biographical information. Magnetic South is his followup to his debut album, The Wichita Train Whistle Sings, and it is the first where he begins to really shine as a mellow, somewhat stoned country rocker. I really cannot explain why I rank a former Monkee as an equal to your Nick Drakes, Jackson c. Franks and Gram Parsons, but his music is so unforced and relaxed. There is a cozy vibe to his albums that make them seem like home. His appropriations of West Coast psych and traditional country balladry don’t aim for innovation, but a simple good time. Although “Hollywood” sort of veers into some honkytonk Doors fantasia, the rest is just a bunch of straightforward country tunes bedecked in bellbottoms.
Although he lacks the charisma and tragedy of a Gram Parsons, Nesmith’s string of solo albums should have cemented with a much stronger reputation than the former Monkee with a Liquid paper fortune. “Keys to the Car” could pass for a George Jones number, but the awkwardly yodeling vocals and chorus about getting stoned would make ol’ George drive his lawnmower off the road. So I don’t become too obscure, Jones was once caught driving his lawnmower to the bar when his car keys were out of his reach. Nesmith is also comfortable with twangy cosmic ballads that document the weary life of a traveling musician where cities, roads and people just melt one rorshach inkblot. Magnetic South isn’t his best effort, but it does pave the way for the progressions made on Loose Salute and Nevada Fighter.

Michael Nesmith-Nevada Fighter
Nevada Fighter(Pacific Arts 1971)
http://www.mediafire.com/?mrtdf2nnhss
Before I finally heard Michael Nesmith’s string of classic country-rock albums, I was entrenched in my narrow view of him as the Monkee in a stocking cap and a Liquid Paper fortune. I read positive reviews of his 70s solo work, but marked them up as twaddle on par with endorsements of Utopia or Nilsson. I couldn’t break free from his association with bubblegum pop and zany antics and the idea of Nesmith as Byrdsian troubadour was just plain crazy talk. However, a friend taped Nevada Fighter for me and it knocked the door ajar and let some light shine on my cloudy judgement. After further purchases and tape trades, I fell in love with everything Michael Nesmith released between 1968-1977 and what came after isn’t anything to shake a stick at either.
I love how Nevada Fighter starts off n such a jaunty note with the rollicking country-tonk of “The Grand Ennui.” It kind of reminds me of Link Wray’s “La De Da” which is ironic since they were both released in the same year and marked new directions for both artists. The opener isn’t representative of the bulk of Nevada Fighter since Nesmith is in an introspective mood here. The abundance of pedal steel helps to accentuate the bruised sentiments and pensive pace of Nevada Fighter and it showcases Nesmith’s ability to really milk the emotion from a song. It is his saddest album, but not his best work as that title belongs to Magnetic South or Loose Salute. I may post some more of his early work as time goes by, so check back here if you enjoy this one.

Dream: 7.31.2015 (autism, job) | dreaming fish
Dream: 7.31.2015 (autism, job)
tags: archetypes, autism, career management, environment, sacred geometry
I have recently moved to Maryland, and am looking for a job. Somehow, I’m spending time with a woman I’ve met who might know of a job I’d like to have.
{Unlike pretty much every other dream I can think of, this one “takes place” half within my thought process, half with me interacting with other people.}
So, I’m mentally running through the steps to re-establishing my credibility as an environmental professional:
whom should I contact at my old job? JAE (a previous boss)?
Can I get RM (friend/coworker) to log onto ICIS, and send me NPDES data from Maryland?
Which types of data should I ask for: obviously, big muni’s, but what else?
Which watersheds are directly relevant?
I’m in Data Gathering mode… or maybe, Meta-Data Gathering mode (!)… for the first time in many years, and I’m loving it. I’ve all but forgotten about the actual person that I’m with.
Then I look outside the car window, and see… flooding everywhere. Almost like a flash flood that’s coming towards us? Sort of. Or maybe, we’re going over a (tall) bridge where the water level is really high. Whatever it is, I’m suddenly confronted with an overwhelming expanse of water.
I lose myself in the wonder of it.
I come back to earth, abruptly, when I notice the woman driving the car has been speaking (I missed almost all of it, but something caught my ear). She just said, “We’ve recently moved to this area from Seattle…”
Immediately I want to ask her all about Puget Sound.
This is as clear a “coded letter” {see bolded terms} as I’ve ever gotten from my unconscious mind. A much less direct letter 6 weeks ago inspired me to apply to Hedgebrook for 2016, after I’d decided not to (for the third year in a row).
See, there’s this job… I saw the job posting in June; it closes mid-August. I’ve been waffling about applying ever since.
I’ve written here before about how I don’t try for things that I’m sure I can do, because it’s not fun/satisfying if there’s no challenge.
Say uncertainty–certainty about my abilities, qualifications, whatever, is a continuum. I need the uncertainty part to be at least 30, 40, maybe even 50% (in my perceptions), whereas the certainty part, then, is 70, 60, or 50%. The uncertainty is more important… it gives me wiggle room, and I have to have wiggle room… that’s where my creativity and innovative thinking come into the equation. That’s the best part.
So, generally, for a job that I want, I’d prefer to feel qualified/competent/confident from a position of 60 to, oh, maybe 80% sure I could do it. (Closer to 80% if it’s a technical job, and it is.)
If I just felt 50/50 qualified/competent/confident, well, it’s a lot of bother to jump through all those hoops again. Especially since I haven’t had to since 2009. Do I have suitable clothes to wear? Who could I ask to be references? Oh gods, a resume-thingy (I hate those things!). Review my own history with an eye towards interview questions I might be asked. Remember what it’s like to work in a job — try to recapture that whole mindset.
A whole lotta work. Stuff I am wildly out of practice at.
Also, sartorial standards here in DMV, in the details, are very unlike the Midwest (Chicagoland; Indianapolis) where almost all of my employment occurred.
Too… my conception of my gender has utterly evolved. When I last worked, if I thought about gender at all, I assumed I was a cis woman who was just kinda weird. Now that I’ve been seriously puzzling over my gender since 2011 or so, I still don’t know what to call it. But I’m definitely not cis.
AND (sort of related to the clothes/visual presentation issue, sort of tangential), last time I was in contact with any of my references… I had a different first name. Are they going to remember to refer to me by NewName? Because if they don’t, is that going to become an issue for the person checking references? Are they going to wonder if I’m hiding something?
I can’t really ‘come out’ to my references about the gender reasons why I changed my name because Indiana is hella conservative.
(ugh, embarrassing)
There were puzzling things during my tenure at Job (well, any job, but definitely the one where I know the people who might be my references from) that are, now, explained by me being autistic. But… do I want/need to ‘come out’ about that to references, too?
But if I don’t tell them, I do know things they might accidentally say that are… not flattering, not helpful.
If I had potential references that I knew would just say, “She’s amazing, she’s brilliant, she’s very creative, she’ll hyper-focus and probably work too hard on occasion…”, well, obviously, I’d tap those people.
I don’t think I’ve ever had references like that.
Even people who love me dearly always always feel the need to mention — both to others and to me — my difficulties, often overshadowing my good points even, as if I’m not already aware of them, thank you very much.
So, the actual job in question… I feel 30%, maaaybe 40%, qualified/competent/confident.
I’d pretty much decided, fairly recently, that I wouldn’t apply.
The one item I think that’s gripped me is… NPDES [National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System]. I actually dreamed that term. All the years I worked with it, I never dreamed about it. And… it’s in the job description, was what originally caught my eye, made me wonder if I could do it.
Plus, the “overwhelming expanse of water” has got to be Chesapeake Bay. An estuary, like Puget Sound is an estuary. Estuaries have been one of my Special Interests since 2011, but I’ve been interested in Chesapeake Bay itself since 1981 when I first encountered it.
This is a Door. In my Year of Doors.

PrintPoetry is a series of 4.25 x 5″ folded cards, typeset by hand and letterpress-printed in small editions at Iota Press. Each issue features select works by poets from across time. The goal is to make poetry accessible at affordable prices, spread the beauty of letterpress printing, and put a poem in everyone’s pocket.
It may appear that we’ve been snoozing, but that’s far from the truth…. the editors have been busy. We are proud to announce that, while the editions of PrintPoetry are ever so fetching to look at and handle, and, yes, read, it is as a whole the Little Print Series that Can by which we mean to say SELL.
Two poets are now officially sold out. And you’ll never guess who, so I’ll just tell you:
Sir Thomas Wyatt (500 years later, now there’s something to aspire to)
and dear Emily Dickinson. Less a surprise perhaps.
We are also introducing very handsome, themed packets which are available at the cost of their combined content. You are free to compile them yourself or order pre-packaged. Currently these are, “Locals,” “Assorted Women Poets,” “The Classics,” “Ladies & Gents.”

Come to the Sebastopol Center for the Arts on June 28th (11 to 5) to view and buy the Poets at the here.say.press/PrintPoetry booth. More info about the Bibliophoria events, including the Street Printing that day, can be found at bibliophoria.com/festival/
Delays and dithering, much agonizing about the bio, and then the whole quest of how to make everything fit onto the small pages … only to realize—after the ink has dried and the beautiful new issue been folded—that I completely overlooked a pivotal word. Ah, yes, proofreading! The second you think you’re good at it, you get to eat your words.
we have divided, separated, sorted, or otherwise put the poets into one of four categories:
– anyone from the Chinese poets to Homer to the Romantics and into the late 19th century. We consider this rather huge category the bedrock of our appreciation of poetry.
The insignia in PrintPoetry is the table-top of an old-fashioned writing desk, books, quills, inkwell and so on.
– anyone born roughly after 1875 through the early 1900s whose work was influenced primarily by the years of their youth, i.e. Modernism or World War I.
The insignia in PrintPoetry is an early, open-top car with a couple — scarves flying and dust clouds behind — whose enthusiasm for the “Modern age” is captivating and, from a post-modern perspective, sadly naive.
– anyone born after 1900, living or not. Another name for this category may be the “mid 20th century gang.” It overlaps with the “Moderns” in that some poets may be labeled “Contemporaries” who were born in the late 19th century while others born in the early 20th century are called “Moderns”. Our distinguishing factor between “Moderns” and “Contemporaries” is World War II – was the poet’s life fundamentally influenced or altered by it or not? If World War I is the deciding factor, they are a Modern, not a Contemporary.
The insignia in PrintPoetry is a crane hoisting a steel beam, a symbol of industrial construction in the 20th century.
– anyone living and working in PrintPoetry’s realm of Northern California, i.e. Marin and Sonoma Counties, and including Lake and Napa counties. Our focus is to feature poets from our neck of the woods, including current and past Sonoma County Poet Laureates.
The insignia in PrintPoetry is a redwood tree because this is where the editors and PrintPoetry live.

barcamp,searchcamp,dcamp and now filmcamp!
Hrish Thota and Co., the people behind FilmCamp.Tv – a film academy in B’lore, are spreading the film making spirit to Chennai this December. On Decmeber 9th, 2007 (Sunday) they are organizing the first film-making workshop in Chennai. The one day workshop aims to provide a hands-on experience in film making, under the guidance of professionals. It covers every aspect of film making, from script writing, story boarding, shooting (with the cameras they provide) and editing with Final Cut Pro (on the Apple Mac that they provide at the venue).With professionals to help you at each stage of film making, this workshop will give you an undiluted insight into the world of film making. The event starts at 8:30 am in the morning and stretches till late in the evening, by when they promise to educate you to complete your first short film (one minute).This concept has been a roaring success in B’lore, where they have managed to get participants to finish 11 films in the past workshops held there. They also help you popularize your film, by launching it on their site. All this, for just 1000 bucks. Trust me it is worth every rupee. When I made my first film, I had to go thro’ a lot of pains, without people to guide me and learning small things the hard and costly way. But here you get all the knowledge in just a day for a mere sum of Rs. 1000. Also you will be put into a random 5 member team at the venue (the venue details will be mailed to you at the time of registration), which adds to the real life experience of many film makers. While making a film, you have to get in touch with many strangers and make them visualize what you have in mind, an art that any good director/script writer must possess. FilmCamp.tv gives you an opportunity to test that too.The registration process if fairly simple, just shoot them a mail at direct [at] filmcamp.tv and they will guide you.

DVAA Digital Media Expo | The Museum
DVAA Digital Media Expo
Wednesday,23 June, 2010 Wednesday,23 June, 2010 ~ electrofork
stills from my very short video
Over the weekend Ben and I went upstate to visit his family. While we were there, the DIGIT expo was going on at the Arts Alliance gallery in Narrowsburg, including the “Quick & Gritty Video Slam”– a project whose requirements involved shooting footage in the town between Friday and Sunday, then handing in a 3 minutes-or less final piece Sunday morning. Encouraged to submit, and greatly aided by way of laptop, cables, etc by Ben’s sister and brother-in-law, I made it in at the last second. Shot some footage on Saturday afternoon after procuring a curious porcelain figurine from a local antiques shop; she serves as the focal point (and engages in some simple stop-motion as well).
It was great fun, and a fine reminder that art need not be all about preparation and time, and that a tight deadline is often better than infinity stretching out before you. Click the image above to see my very short submission (which I may yet finish, as this is a woefully malnourished version of what I imagined it to be, on account of many technical difficulties stealing time from it!)

42 seconds in is absolutely very interesting and important.

I personally see videos as no more valuable in the competition. Picking a single capture from extensive footage would be extremely difficult. Obviously scientific relevance and analysis would benefit from extensive video footage. I suspect that a single submitted frame from this video wouldn't rank as well. Perhaps at 42/43 seconds the scientific relevance would make it the most valid submission.

Track 1: The Weekend Warrior Track
We know that taking time away from your usually busy work schedule can be tricky. Emu has developed a new, 2-part class track for local builders who prefer to take the course outside of regular business hours. Track 1 will be broken into 4 weekend days, culminating in the CPHT exam. Please select the Track 1 options at Registration for the following format:
Module 1: Sat/Sun – February 10th + 11th
Module 2: Sat/Sun – February 17th + 18th
CPHT Exam: Sat – February 24th, 2018
Note: Going forward, Emu will begin offering these Modules throughout the year in Denver, Colorado. Participants will be able to choose to split up the modules over a one-year period (i.e. take the modules in two separate sessions). Completion of Module 1 will be required for participants to register for Module 2.
Track 2: The Get-‘er-done Track
For those of you traveling from out of town, or those of you who just prefer to get it done in one go, we offer the usual intensive 4-day course during the week leading up to the CPHT exam. Please select the Track 2 options at Registration for the following format:
Module 1: Tue/Wed – February 20th + 21st
Module 2: Thu/Fri – February 22nd + 23rd
A typical daily schedule has us starting the day at 8am, a 15-minute morning break, a one-hour lunch break, a 15-minute afternoon break, and finishing the day between 4 and 5 p.m. (depending on the pace of the group).
The CPHT Open-Book Accreditation Exam
Saturday, February 24th, 2018 - 9am
In order to become a PHI Certified Passive House Tradesperson at the conclusion of Modules 1 and 2, you may take the CPHT Exam. This is an open-book, pass/fail exam. Emu will be providing registrants with the necessary materials to guide test-takers through the exam.
It is made up of 3 sections (45 minutes per section):
1) Passive House Basics is required.

Christian Walk toward Destiny: Worth reading
Dear my loving bros and sis in Christ,
I write to share with you the story below, which i believe it is of benefits to you.
Several years ago, a new preacher moved to Houston , Texas .
Some weeks after he arrived, he had occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area.
Then he thought, "Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount ?
Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet. "
When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the quarter to the driver and said : "Here, you gave me too much change."
The driver with a smile replied : "Aren't you the new preacher in town? I have been thinking lately about going to worship somewhere. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church this Sunday. "
When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said : "Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter. "
Always remember (as I try to remember) that you carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself a "Christian."
I'm glad I got this post to you as a reminder.
Posted by Oh James at 10:34 PM
Thanks, we must be watchful on so many levels....
Yes, you are perfectly right and it reconfirms that God never blink, Sis Yoon See.

Israeli Rockets and Palestinian Blogs | Publish First. Ask Later.
Is new media the new battleground for the Palestinian/Israeli conflict? And if so, how has blogging affected the public debate on the conflict and how has blogging responded to the main stream media and vice versa? To better understand the results this interaction has had on the public discussion of the Palestine/Israel conflict, one can easily seek out dozens of high quality blogs which explore commentary and debates from both Israeli and Palestinian perspectives.
Do traditional media outlets ask the right questions when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian saga, and do they grasp the significance of the regions complexity? I prefer to think that blogs like Jim Lobe’s, biased and all, do a better job at exploring issues such as the contest of leadership in the Middle East than mainstream media, and by doing so, provide greater platforms for all parties to voice their concerns. These blogs portray both sides aggressively projecting their story. Wherein the unbalanced way major US networks and press cover the Israeli-Palestinian story, new media provides new possibilities where many sectors of the US public (young people, women and minority communities) are more open than ever before to hearing a counter narrative to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Popular pundits in the Middle East blogosphere, such as Tony Karon, Juan Cole, and Tom Engelhardt impartially focus their blogs on both sides of the debate. More biased blog-based sites such as, Electronic Intifada provide a predominately Palestinian perspective of analysis and reporting of events in Israel and Palestinian territories, while more Jew-centric blogs like Haaretz and Mondoweiss cover American foreign policy in the Middle East from a non-Zionist Jewish context. The magazine blog, +972 offers independent commentary by on-the-ground Israeli journalists.
I’m curious to know your thoughts. Do you think blogging/new media matter to the policy making elite? What about Congress, lobby groups? How has the increase in participants in the discussion changed policy calculations if any? Does the openness created by blogging/new media, which was not present in the past, make elected officials think twice about their actions? And most of all, do you think there will one day be Peace in the Middle East?
Lastly, check out this short video by Culture’s of Resistance. It follows two musicians, one Iraqi and one Palestinian through New York as they make radio appearances, hit the studio with Public Enemy producer Johnny Juice, and perform together at CoR-ally Norman Finkelstein’s book tour event. Their multimedia tour was designed to publicize the truth about the Israeli military’s attack on the Gaza Strip. Lowkey and Mansour are two artists who place the plight of the Palestinian people at the center of their creative work, encouraging young Palestinians to express themselves through art, music, and creative forms of protest.

Wikipedia:Keyboard shortcuts - Wikipedia
"WP:KS" redirects here. WP:KS may also refer to Wikipedia:WikiProject Kansas.
The MediaWiki software contains many keyboard shortcuts. You can use them to access certain features of Wikipedia more quickly.
1 Using access keys
1.1 List of access keys
1.2 Sortable list
2 Display access keys
3 Accessibility of access keys
4 Known issues: Gadgets which block keyboard shortcuts
5 User scripts that modify keyboard shortcuts
An Access Key allows a computer user to immediately jump to a specific part of a web page via the keyboard. In Wikipedia, Access Keys allow you to do a lot more—protect a page, show page history, publish your changes, show preview text, and so on. See the next section for the full list.
Most web browsers require holding down one or two "modifier" keys to use an access key. Different web browsers invoke access keys in different ways. Please use the list below to determine the appropriate key combination for your browser and system:
Opera 15+ Windows
Chrome OS hold Alt or Alt+⇧ Shift or Alt+Control+⇧ Shift, [1] press access key
Linux hold Alt+⇧ Shift, press access key
macOS hold Control+⌥ Option, press access key
Firefox Windows, Linux hold Alt+⇧ Shift, press access key
MS Edge Windows hold Alt, press access key (in some versions you may then need to press ↵ Enter)
Safari macOS hold Control+⌥ Option, press access key
Windows hold Alt, press access key
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 on Windows: hold Alt, press access key
Mozilla Firefox before version 14 on Mac OS X: hold Control, press access key
Safari 3 or earlier on Mac OS X: hold Control, press access key
Camino (Mac OS X): hold Control, press access key
Opera 12 and lower: press and release ⇧ Shift+Esc, then press access key

By modifying your user CSS file, access key shortcuts can be displayed before internal links on any Wikipedia page.
CSS with shortcuts shown on hover
Play the video to see how this CSS snippet works. The skin used here is Vector, but this will work for any skin.
a:hover[accesskey]:before {
CSS with shortcuts shown always
Adding this code displays the access keys on every Wikipedia page, as shown in this picture.
CSS with shortcuts shown always with a box
This is identical to the above code except the access keys are displayed with boxes around them.
This will not work in Internet Explorer versions lower than 8.0, since those browsers do not support the CSS selector used in these examples.
This also will not display the accesskeys provided by the VisualEditor (or the mw:2017 wikitext editor), such as 's' to publish the page, as those accesskeys are implemented differently.
Accessibility of access keys
Keyboard shortcuts, in the way they are implemented on Wikipedia, are useful for some users with disabilities and do not require JavaScript to work. At the same time, they are bothersome for some screen reader users because it interferes with the shortcuts of their screen reader. The best solution would be to have customizable keyboard shortcuts.
The accessibility of keyboard shortcuts (access keys) is a complicated matter. This feature, in its current implementation, was temporarily abandoned in WCAG 2.0, notably because it conflicts with the shortcuts of assistive technologies. Usage of access keys is currently discouraged in the online contents and applications.
But presence of access keys is also an Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) requirement—the ATAG approach is particularly relevant in Wikipedia's case—where this matter is looked into thoroughly. In particular, ATAG requires the possibility to customize shortcuts. This should be requested in bugzilla:477.
Currently, their presence in Wikipedia's interface can be problematic for some users and can be useful for others. But more importantly, it misleads developers into thinking that the interface is keyboard accessible. Requirements that need to be fulfilled for a website to be keyboard accessible are not related to keyboard shortcuts (G90, F42, SCR35, F58, F61).
Known issues: Gadgets which block keyboard shortcuts
Gadget WikEd blocks keyboard shortcut on Google Chrome and Firefox.
User scripts that modify keyboard shortcuts
Some User scripts allow you to add more keyboard shortcuts for various actions or customize existing ones:
up-one-lvl-kbd[2] (source) – The "U" keyboard shortcut now navigates up one subpage level.
hover-edit-section[3] (source) – The "D" keyboard shortcut now edits the section you're hovering over.
page-info-kbd-shortcut[4] (source) – The "I" keyboard shortcut now opens the "Page information" link in your sidebar.
superjump[5] (source) – Custom keyboard shortcuts to go to any page.
m:Help:Keyboard shortcuts
mw:Manual:Interface/Access keys
Hotkeys – typing shortcuts in text fields
AutoHotkey, a Windows keyboard automation scripting language
Autokey, a Linux keyboard scripting language in Python
^ For some keys (e.g. r), both Alt and Alt+⇧ Shift work; For other keys (e.g. f), only Alt+⇧ Shift works; For other keys (e.g. .), only Alt works.

Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED [0001] The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. �119 of Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-283779, filed on Sep. 29, 2004, entitled “MIRROR AND ANGLE DETECTION DEVICE”. The contents of that application are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. BACKGROUND ART [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a mirror and an angle detection device. More specifically, the present invention relates to an exterior mirror for vehicles, and an angle detection device for detecting an tilted angle of a mirror surface of the exterior mirror. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Arts [0005] There is an exterior mirror having an angle adjusting device, which adjusts the tilted angle of the exterior mirror to obtain good rear side view. In such an exterior mirror, the tilted angle of the mirror surface can be adjusted to meet the viewing angle of the driver. However, since it is complicated to delicately readjust the tilted angle whenever the driver is changed, it is desired to reproduce the tilted angle suitable for respective driver. [0006] Various suggestions have been made to detect the tilted angle for reproducing the tilted angle of the mirror surface. For example, an angle detection device having a resistor, slidable connect which slides the resistor according to the variation (tilting) of the mirror surface has been suggested. According to this device, since the slidable connect moves to meet the tilting of the mirror surface to change the voltage, the voltage can be detected to thereby detect the tilted angle (For Example, see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-264726, hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 1). [0007] In the device for detecting the position of the mirror (angle detection device) disclosed in Patent Document 1, the slidable connect (connect member) slides in the thickness direction of the mirror on the resistor substrate accompanying with the movement of the adjust nut. For this reason, considering a room space alpha, when the length of the resistor on the substrate is S, and the length of the connect member is L, a space of the mirror surface in the thickness direction for providing the resistor substrate of not less than S+L+alpha should be ensured. Consequently, in many cases, in conventional, decreasing the size of the angle detection device in the thickness direction of the mirror surface can be made only with difficulty. [0008] An object of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a mirror and an angle detection device, which can solve the problem associated with the prior art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] The present invention which can attain the object has the following configuration. [0000] (Configuration 1) [0010] A vehicle mirror comprises a mirror surface; a plate pivot which tilts the mirror surface by tilting the plate pivot itself, which is a plate member that can be tilted around an axis parallel to said mirror surface, and which is provided on the rear surface of the mirror surface; a housing which covers said plate pivot facing to the rear surface of the mirror surface across said plate pivot, which possesses a bottom portion substantially parallel to said plate pivot, and a curved side wall which is brought into contact with the side surface of said plate pivot to guide said side surface; a slide rod which is provided between said housing and said plate pivot, and which moves toward or backward to the rear surface of said pivot to tilt said plate pivot; a rotational variable resistor which is provided between said housing and said plate pivot, and whose resistance value is varied depending on the rotation amount of a rotor that rotates depending upon the movement of said slide rod; and a signal outputting portion, which outputs a signal corresponding to the tilted angle of the mirror surface depending upon the resistance of said rotational variable resistor. The term “rear surface of the mirror surface” intended herein a surface opposite to the reflecting surface of the mirror surface. For example, when the plate pivot does not tilt the mirror surface, the bottom portion of the housing is parallel to the plate pivot. [0011] According this configuration, the tilted angle of the mirror surface can be suitably detected. By guiding the side surface of the plate pivot by means of the side wall of the housing, even if the mirror receives vibration, for example, during driving the vehicle at a high speed, the plate pivot can be stably tilted. [0012] As a variable resistor for detecting the tilted angle of the mirror surface a rotational variable resistor (rotary volume) is used and, thus, a space required in the thickness direction of the mirror surface can be decreased. This makes it possible to decrease the size of the housing. Also, when the bottom portion of the housing is substantially parallel to the plate pivot, a space can be saved. [0013] What is more, a general rotary volume commercially available as the a rotational variable resistor can be used. For this reason, it is not necessary to customize and produce a variable resistor, decreasing the cost. [0014] For example, if the tilted angle of the mirror surface is to be detected by a variable resistor using a slidable connects which slides in the thickness direction of the mirror surface, a space should be secured in the thickness direction of the mirror surface, leading to the enlargement of the size of the housing. [0000] (Configuration 2) [0015] The vehicle mirror further comprises a belt made of a flexible material which moves the movement of said slide rod, and the rotor of the rotational variable resistor rotates according to the movement of said belt. According this configuration, the rotor of the rotational variable resistor can be suitably rotated. [0000] (Configuration 3) [0016] The bottom portion of the housing holds at least part of the belt in the manner that the belt can be moved along said bottom portion. According to this configuration, the belt can be suitably moved. [0000] (Configuration 4) [0017] An angle detection device for detecting tilted angle of the mirror surface of a vehicle mirror comprises: a plate pivot which tilts the mirror surface by tilting the plate pivot itself, which is a plate member that can be tilted around an axis parallel to said mirror surface, and which is provided on the rear surface of the mirror surface; an actuator which tilts said plate pivots around said axis as a center to tilt said mirror surface; a housing which covers said plate pivot facing to the rear surface of the mirror surface across said plate pivot, which possesses a bottom portion substantially parallel to said plate pivot, and a curved side wall which is brought into contact with the side surface of said plate pivot to guide said side surface; a slide rod which is provided between said housing and said plate pivot, and which moves toward or backward to the rear surface of said pivot to tilt said plate pivot; a rotational variable resistor which is provided between said housing and said plate pivot, and whose resistance value is varied depending on the rotation amount of a rotor that rotates depending upon the movement of said slide rod; and a signal outputting portion, which outputs a signal corresponding to the tilted angle of the mirror surface depending upon the resistance of said rotational variable resistor. According to this configuration, effects similar to those of Configuration 1 can be obtained. [0018] According to the present invention, the tilted angle of the mirror surface can be suitably detected.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0024] Embodiments according to the present invention will now be described by referring to the drawings. [0025] FIG. 1 is an explored perspective view showing one example of the configuration of the side mirror according to one embodiment of the present invention. The side mirror 10 is a vehicle exterior mirror and possesses a cover 18, a mirror surface 12, a frame 16, and a mirror angle adjustment device 14. [0026] The cover 18 is a mirror body which covers the outside of the side mirror 10, and accommodates the frame 16 and the mirror angle adjustment device 14. The cover 18 has an opening at the rear side of the vehicle, and holds the mirror surface 12 on the opening in a tilting manner. The mirror surface 12 is fitted to the opening of the cover 18 in such a manner that the reflecting surface thereof is directed toward the rear side of the vehicle. [0027] The frame 18 is a base fixed onto the cover 18, and holds the mirror angle adjustment device 14 in a state directed toward the rear surface of the mirror surface 12. The term “rear surface of the mirror surface 12” intended herein is a surface directed toward the opposite direction of the reflecting surface. [0028] The mirror angle adjustment device 14 is a driving device which tilts the mirror surface. In this embodiment, the mirror angle adjustment device 14 further possesses a function of an angle detection device which detects the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12, and adjusts the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12 by tilting the mirror surface 12 so that the memorized value, which has been previously memorized, is accorded with the detected value of the angle. By such a configuration, the mirror according to this embodiment serves as a mirror (memory mirror), which adjust the tilted angle of the mirror surface to meet the previously memorized view position of the driver. [0029] FIG. 2 is an explored perspective view showing a first example of the configuration of the mirror angle adjusting device 14. The mirror angle adjustment device 14 possesses a plate pivot 110, an actuator 100, and two rotational variable resistors 128, and a substrate 118. [0030] The plate pivot 110 is a plate member which is tilted by the moving force of the actuator 100, and holds the rear surface of the mirror surface 12 (see FIG. 1) so that the state is kept where it is parallel to the mirror surface 12. According to this configuration, the mirror surface 12 can be tilted interlocking with the plate pivot 110. [0031] The actuator 100 includes a housing 120, two pairs of motors 104 and warm wheels 106, and adjust nuts 108. The housing 120 is provided so as to be facing the mirror surface 12 across the plate pivot 110, and holds the motors 104, warm wheels 106, the adjust nuts 108 and the rotational variable resistors 128 between the actuator 100 and the plate pivot 110. [0032] The housing 120 possesses a center support portion 122 and two male screws projecting toward the plate pivot 110 respectively. The center support portion 122 supports the center portion of the plate pivot 110 so that the plate pivot 110 can be freely tilted around the axis passing through the central portion of the plate pivot 110. These two male screws 102 project toward a point on the rotation axis of the plate pivot 110 in the horizontal direction, and the rotation axis of the plate pivot 110 in the vertical direction, respectively. [0033] The term “the rotation axis of the plate pivot 110 in the horizontal direction” intended herein is a horizontal axis parallel to the mirror surface 12, for example, for tilting the plate pivot 110. The term “the rotation axis of the plate pivot 110 in the vertical direction” intended herein is a axis parallel to the mirror surface 12 in the vertical, for example, for tilting the plate pivot 110. The term “the central portion of the plate pivot 110” intended herein is a point of intersection between the rotation axis of the plate pivot 110 in the horizontal direction and the rotation axis of the plate pivot 110 in the vertical direction. The central portion of the plate pivot 110 may be a fulcrum of tilting the plate pivot 110. One motor 104, one worm wheel 104, and one adjust nuts 108 are provided corresponding to two male screw portions 102, respectively. [0034] The motor 104 has a worm gear engaged with the external circumference of the worm wheel 106, and is held by the housing. The worm wheel 106 is in a substantially column shape having gear engaged with the worm gear of the motor 104 formed on the external circumference thereof, and is held by the housing 120 in a rotatable manner. Into the inner circumference of the worm wheel 106 is pierced through the made screw portion 102. [0035] The adjust nut 108 is one example of a slide rod which moves forward and backward relative to the rear surface of the mirror surface 12, to thereby tilt the mirror surface 12. In this embodiment, the adjust nut 108 is inserted into the inner surface of the worm wheel 106 from the opposite side of the male screw portion 102, and is screwed with the male screw portion 102. The adjust nut 108 is held by the worm wheel 106 in such a manner that it is not relatively rotated around the worm wheel, and can be moved toward the axis direction of the worm wheel. The end of the adjust nut 108 far from the male screw portion 102 is engaged with the rear surface of the pivot plate 110. In this embodiment, the side surface of the adjust nut is formed a gear engaged with the rotational variable resistor 110. [0036] In this embodiment, when the motor 104 is rotated, the worm wheel 106 corresponding to the rotated motor 104 is rotated according to the rotation of the rotated motor 104 together with the adjust nut 108 around the male screw portion 102 as a center. According to this rotation, the adjust nut 108 screwed with the male screw portion 102 is guided to the groove of the male screw portion 103 to move toward or backward in the axis direction of the male screw direction. [0037] The pivot plate 110, which is engaged with the adjust nut at the rear surface thereof, is tilted around the rotation axis in the horizontal direction or the rotation axis in the vertical axis as a center depending upon the movement of the adjust nut 108. The plate pivot 110 tilts the mirror surface 12 to be accorded with the tilting of the plate pivot 110 itself. As described above, the actuator 100 tilts the mirror surface 12 around the axis parallel to the mirror surface 12. [0038] The rotational variable resistors 128 are a variable resistor having a rotor for changing the resistance, and are provided to be corresponded with two adjust nuts 108, respectively. The rotor of the rotational variable resistor 128 is engaged with the gear possessed by the side surface of the corresponding adjust nut 108. For this reason, the rotational variable resistor 128 changes the resistance value depending upon the movement of the adjust nut 108. According to such a configuration, the resistance value of the rotational variable resistor 128 can be changed depending on the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12. [0039] The substrate 118 is a substrate having circumference electric circuit packaged thereon. In this embodiment, the signal outputting portion 124 is provided on the substrate. The signal outputting portion 124 outputs a signal to meet the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12 based on the resistance value of the rotational variable resistor 128 to the outside of the side mirror 10 (see FIG. 1). According to this configuration, the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12 can be suitably detected. [0040] FIG. 3 is a drawing showing the function of the housing 120 and shows the cross-section of the housing 120 together with the plate pivot 110. In FIG. 3, in order to simplify the explanation, male screw portion 102, the center support portion 122 (see FIG. 2), and the like of the housing 120 are omitted. [0041] In this embodiment, the housing 120 is a bowl shape body which holds the plate pivot at its opening, and covers the rear surface and side surface of the plate pivot 110 so as to face the mirror surface 12 (see FIG. 1) of the plate pivot 110. [0042] The housing 120 has a bottom portion 210 substantially parallel to the plate pivot 110, and a sidewall portion 202 formed extending from the bottom portion 210 so as to cover the sidewall of the plate pivot 110. The side wall portion 202 is formed in a curved from so as to guide the side wall of the tilting plate pivot 110. The sidewall portion 220 may be a spherical wall surface which is curved at a prescribed curvature. [0043] According to this configuration, the plate pivot 110 can be stably tilted. The plate pivot 110 is tilted around the axis 204, which being guided by the sidewall portion 202 of the housing 120. [0044] By setting the bottom surface portion 210 at substantially parallel to the plate pivot 110, the size of the housing can be made small. According to this embodiment, the rotational variable resistor 128 (see FIG. 2) may be used to provide the variable resistor for detecting the tilting angle of the mirror surface 12 within the small-sized housing 120 in a suitable manner. [0045] FIG. 4 is a drawing showing the rotational variable resistor 128 in detail. FIG. 4A shows the movement of the rotational variable resistor 128 according to the movement of the adjust nut 108. As described by using FIG. 2, adjust nut 108 moves forward or backward according to the rotation of the motor 104 and the worm wheel 106 to tilt the plate pivot 110. The rotor of the rotational variable resistor 128 is engaged with the gear of the adjust nut 108. [0046] For this reason, when the motor 104 is rotated for tiling the mirror surface (see FIG. 1), the rotor of the rotational variable resistor 128 is rotated according to the movement of the adjust nut 108. Then depending upon the rotation amount of the rotor, the rotational variable resistor 128 changes its resistance value. For this reason, the rotational variable resistor 128 changes the resistance value depending on the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12. In this embodiment, the gear of the side surface of the adjust nut 108 is formed in to a screw form. The motor 104 and the worm wheel 106 is fixed into the housing while being water-proof sealed. [0047] FIG. 4B shows a relation between the signal outputting portion 124 and the rotational variable resistor 128, and FIG. 4C shows the outputting characteristic of the rotational variable resistor 128. In this embodiment, the rotational variable resistor 128 is connected between a prescribed power source potential and a prescribed ground potential, the voltage corresponding the resistance value changing depending upon the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12 is supplied to the signal outputting portion 124. According to this configuration, a voltage in proportion to the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12 can be supplied to the rotational variable resistor 128. The signal outputting portion 124 outputs the signal according to the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12 based on the voltage. According to this embodiment, the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12 can be suitably detected. [0048] FIG. 5 shows the second embodiment of the mirror angle adjustment device. The constitutions having the functions in FIG. 5 same as or similar to those shown in those of FIG. 2 to FIG. 5 are assigned to the same symbols and the description thereof will be omitted. The mirror angle adjustment device 14 of this embodiment further possesses, for example, the motor 104 of the actuator 100 (see FIG. 2), the substrate 118 (see FIG. 2) and the like. [0049] The mirror angle adjustment device 14 of this embodiment further possesses a belt 130 which moves according to the movement of the adjust nut 108. The belt 130 is made of a flexible material, and has a gear to be engaged with the rotor of the rotational variable resistor 128 formed thereon. [0050] One end of the belt 130 is fixed on the adjust nut 108, and the other end thereof is held on the bottom portion 210 of the housing 120 in a movable manner. The bottom portion 210 holds the belt 130 in such a manner that it can be moved along the bottom surface 210. The rotational variable resistor 128 is provided on the bottom portion 210 in such a manner that the belt 130 is sandwiched between the rotor and the bottom portion 210. Also, in this configuration, the rotational variable resistor 128 can be suitably provided within the small sized housing 120. [0051] Also, in this configuration, when the adjust nut 108 moves toward or backward in order to change the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12 (see FIG. 1), the belt 130 moves on the bottom portion 210 according to this movement. The rotor of the rotational variable resistor 128 is rotated according to the movement of the belt 130. For this reason, also in this configuration, the resistance value of the rotational variable resistor 128 can be changed according to the tilted angle of the mirror surface. Also, the tilted angle of the mirror surface 12 can be suitably detected. [0052] The present invention can be suitably used, for example, as a vehicle exterior mirror. [0053] From the aforementioned explanation, those skilled in the art ascertain the essential characteristics of the present invention and can make the various modifications and variations to the present invention to adapt it to various usages and conditions without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims.

Despite an age difference of almost 50 years - singer Ciara and actress Jane Fonda share a similar taste for fashion. The celebrities were both spotted rocking a very daring Emilio Pucci gown at recent red carpet events. I have to give this one to Jane Fonda. She's 74 and killin it! She looks amazing! What do you think, who wore it best between the two!?

Hit or Miss: Kim Kardashian's white cut out dress in Kuwait
Out of the places in the world she could be, I just never thought Kim K would ever make it to Kuwait! Given her recent support of Israel, her rise to fame and clash in values..I assumed that the people in Kuwait wouldn't be too welcoming. Well I was I wrong! The 32 year-old reality star was spotted (getting lots of love too) at the Millions Of Milkshakes store at the Avenuees Mall in Kuwait City on Thursday. I'm on the fence about the cut out dress. I like the idea but there is something about the look that ain't quite right. Hmm is this a hit or miss for you!?

Lady Gaga is currently onstage right now at Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg. Mother Monster has the distinct honor of being the first woman to perform at Soccer City and SELL THAT STADIUM OUT. There are about 100,000+ fans rocking out to her music as I type this. Dang I wish I was there, I can feel the energy coming through from the fan tweets in SA!
Prior to kicking off the show tonight Gaga went on safari and took a few pics. She tweeted "I'm about 10 feet from 13 lions, 2 cubs. I spent about 30 minutes w them and took a nap"
It's so typical of stars to go on safari while in Africa, while that's cool - I also would like for the singer to
showcase the impossibly cool city life in Jozi. Wouldn't that be awesome? Africa is more than just a safari!
Just last week I had the chance to chat with the MOST beautiful woman in the world - Miss Universe! It was the day before Thanksgiving but I had no issues with trekking up to the pageant headquarters in NYC for one last chat with her before she gives up her title. Leila and I talked about EVERYTHING Hunty, from who she's dating to plans after her reign to even what kind of music she listens to her on Ipod - it was good stuff! I really enjoyed kicking it with the Angolan born beauty queen- it was more like a girlfriend catch up session than an interview. Check out the video and let me know what you think!

Dirty Hippy Lawyer: All Dressed Up And No Place To Go
So the trial didn't happen today. All dressed up and no where to go as the judge told the jury. The prosecution made an offer to my guy he couldn't refuse. They offered him two weekends instead of fifteen days straight.
I thought that we might win this case and I told the guy that, what he heard, of course was the "might." All judges charge rent on the court room and I would expect that if we lost then my guy would have gone for thirty to forty-five days at least. I understand his thinking. I could see myself sitting next to him and saying: "Well, I really did think we'd win, sorry about that." I suspect that he could too.
The case was an OVI (that's DUI in the other 49 states) along with several different charges of driving under suspension. This was my guys first in six years and he blew the "super level" above .17. On the other hand they did not catch him driving.
He was at home and had had about ten beers between noon and 8:00 p.m. and then he ate. At about midnight one son called from where ever and was clearly wasted. The family told him not to drive home and then they called back and realized he was on the way. After a wait, and long after the son should have been home client and other son drove off to look for him. The son driving. A small town they knew which way he was going. They drove by a wreck and recognized it as the first son. The son who was driving was so freaked that he became really unable to drive and they stopped and client took the wheel. They drove back and dropped the second son off at the wreck and client went on home.
At home client says that he grabbed a whiskey bottle and took a serious swig, then he took a mixed drink his wife said was her's and had at least a couple of shots in it and chugged it. Then daughter him back to the wreck and the cops recognized him as the guy who had driven by about 10 minutes before and arrested him. I think that everyone agreed that he had the defense of necessity for his driving, which does let him out of the driving under suspension charges, but who would believe that he would have downed 3 or 4 shots in ten minutes? On the other hand I have done just that.
At any rate it was his call.
Early on in the video the cop was having a very hard time pulling the guy up on his computer. He kept putting in the guy's social security number and nothing would come up. Finally, my guy said: "I've never had this much trouble getting arrested before." Well maybe you had to be there.

Electric Charge Launch Lab1.InferWhy did you rub the balloon on your sweater? Predict what might have happened if you simply touched the balloon to your sweater instead of rubbing it. Ans: the charges interact when friction is applied however without friction of rubbing it there would be no charge interaction between the balloon and your sweater 2.Key ConceptWhy do you think the balloon interacted the way it did with your sweater and with the stream of water? Ans: the charge of the water is attracted to the electric charge at the balloon's surface
Session 3: Exploring Color and Lenseshere we test the filter by overlapping red green blue
this is it but through the flashlight resulting in yellow orange
this is the red and blue filter, resulting in pink
this is blue, green, red for yellow
this is a photo through the orange and green filter
this is a photo through purple and red filter
1) we add salt to lower the freezing point of water which makes it colder
2) we added our topping after the milk has frozen so our topping won't
3) the shaking of the water and the salt
4) so we can mix it easier, without air the milk would spill out.

The Impact of Humanity on The Environment
In the modern world, humans have created technological revolutions over the past decades and one of those are nuclear powers. Nuclear power has created many development and tragedies over the years, and many of those have affected the environment. One of those is in WWII, one of Japanś major city, Fukushima got bombed by the US governor, for the Japanese to surrender and for them to win the war. The impact here is the ecosystem inside and surrounding Fukushima. The aftermath is that the city became uninhabitable to both men and creatures. The impact was big enough to create an awareness to the world that, nuclear weapons are to be prohibited in modern warfare. On the other side, people and scientist have created nuclear power plant instead of nuclear bomb which is very destructive in power. Nuclear power can be developed in different ways, both good and bad.

When I enrolled this school I started debating because I've never debated before so I want to try it. Then I got into it and like it first I just want to try but now I want to be a great debater. I also got to practice both my English and my analysis skills. It's a lot of fun and it made me got to know other people and learn from their mistake.
