What's happening with home prices in the 100 largest metropolitan areas? See HSH's updated "Home Price Recovery Index" to find out!

How can I find out who owns my mortgage?

By   |  Posted in Ask The Expert

Homeowners may think they know who owns their home loan, but finding out is a little more complicated than simply naming your loan servicer.

When you apply for a home loan with a mortgage banker or mortgage broker and go to settlement, you will typically sign mortgage loan papers that list the name of a bank or credit union. It would be natural to assume your mortgage loan is owned by the financial institution listed on your settlement statement. However, many home loans are sold individually to other mortgage lenders or in a package with other loans in a mortgage-backed security.

How to find out who owns your mortgage

Most homeowners do not necessarily need to know who owns their home loan until they have a problem, such as needing to renegotiate the loan terms for a modification, refinance or arrange a short sale. Under most circumstances, borrowers have a relationship with the mortgage servicer -- the institution that collects the monthly payments -- who may or may not be the owner of the loan. Some financial institutions keep mortgage loans within their own portfolio, while others sell the loan to other institutions or to investors.

The simplest step to take to determine who owns your mortgage loan is to contact your loan servicer. There should be a contact phone number on your mortgage statement or the lender's website. In some cases, the servicer will tell you who owns your loan, but sometimes the servicer may not know the name (or names) of the investor that owns your mortgage loan or is prohibited from giving out that information.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own many mortgage loans, and each agency has a loan look-up function on its website.

If you are experiencing any difficulty making your mortgage payments or have other questions about your mortgage, you should start by contacting your loan servicer.

By Matt Vespa

The pendulum in the war between liberals and conservatives continues to swing with Democrats regaining the voter ID edge in the aftermath of the 2012 election. Mike Flynn of Breitbart,  wrote today that this shouldn’t be a surprise.

A new survey by Gallup shows Democrats regaining their edge in party identification over the GOP. In 2012, 47% of Americans identified as Democrat or lean-Democrat. 42% identified as GOP or lean-GOP. In 2011, the two parties were even, with each claiming 45% of Americans. In 2008, however, Democrats held a 12-point edge in voter identification.

The results shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, given the Democrat victories in November. The edge, however, came from Independents leaning more toward the Democrats than the GOP. In 2011, more Independents leaned toward the GOP. 18% of Americans identified as Independent, lean-GOP against 14% who were Independent, lean-Dem. In 2012, those numbers flipped, with 16% of Independents leaning Dem and 14% leaning GOP.

These numbers can change. Public opinion is shiftable sand; therefore, there are no permanent victories in politics. However, another interesting find relates to the Tea Party. While some thought the movement was dead last summer, those rumors were dispelled with the primary – and general election – wins of Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). However, now only 8% of likely voters identify themselves as Tea Partiers.

Paul Bedard wrote in The Washington Examiner on January 7 that:

Some 30 percent have a favorable view of the Tea Party, down from 51 perent in 2009.

56 percent said it has become less influential.

From Rasmussen:

Views of the Tea Party movement are at their lowest point ever, with voters for the first time evenly divided when asked to match the views of the average Tea Party member against those of the average member of Congress. Only eight percent (8%) now say they are members of the Tea Party, down from a high of 24% in April 2010 just after passage of the national health care law.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 30% of Likely U.S. Voters now have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party. Half (49%) of voters have an unfavorable view of the movement. Twenty-one percent (21%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

In April 2009 when the Tea Party protests against President Obama’s spending policies first erupted, 51% of Americans held a favorable opinion of the movement. However, just 35% felt that way by last July.

Only 34% of voters now believe the Tea Party movement is good for the country, down from 49% in April 2011. Slightly more (40%) think the Tea Party is bad for the country, while 17% say neither.

A majority (56%) of voters agrees that the Tea Party movement has become less influential over the past year. Just 21% feel it has become more influential, although even more (23%) are not sure.

So, will the next discussion, on a long list of subjects, amongst conservatives be concerned with the Tea Party, and their influence within the party? Are they responsible for the country’s shift back to left? Stay tuned.

GREAT ins and outs!

Anonymous- don't think Crystal CAN suffer like the Duke families have- she seems to be a classic example of repeating the same actions and expecting different results. However, I hope she will be punished to the full extent of the law. I once, months ago, floated the idea that she could recant and blame Nifong- that she could still play "the victim." I was clear, even then, that she's no victim. I was just hoping that "playing the victim of the D.A." would appeal to her and give her a reason to recant- she didn't. I believe that she had financial gain as her ultimate motive and deserves to be prosecuted. She also deserves to have her financial records examined- both regarding any Pell grants and any Social Security benefits paid out to her- and the Durham Child Protective Services should examine her fitness as a parent. Time for the gloves to come off!

She just wrote, " I cringe just typing the words",in reference to the Accuser being unsure whether a penis was involved. You'd recoil in horror, too, if your entire belief system of pre-conceived prejudices was exposed as fatally flawed.
Sheehan also wrote," It is not my job to wait for cases to be resolved....". What chutzpah, what arrogance. And TRuthless says the Duke players are privileged? Sheehan really believes that she , as a member of the press, is not subject to the usual rules and penalties that attach to the slander and libel of people who have the constitutional right to be presumed innocent.
And finally, Sheehan, trying to have it both ways, i.e., keeping the faith with the gaggle of 88 and the NC NAACP, concludes,
"...we may never know what happened..."
But we do know what did NOT happen, TRuthless. There was no rape, no sexual assault, no kidnapping. Liestoppers, Sheehan is one of the most despicable players in this tragedy. Don't go wobbly on us now.

Even as reflected here, there are varied opinions among the Liestopper Team on Ruth Sheehan and her posting today. I'll explain mine.

I first started commenting on this case at Ruth's blog and the N&O Editor's blog in absolute fury and disgust at the their appalling"coverage. My first long post was "Stages of Parenting" linked here at LS . Another love note of mine is here:

Comment from: joan foster [Visitor]

Ruth, your columns often presume some form of moral authority, some well-honed wisdom of what is right and it Walmart or awarding scholarships. We are now getting some insight into your own morality, your own standard of values.

Your children will learn when they grow older what the community knows now. That after placing yourself front and center of the witch-hunt, you slink in silence to the back of the mob now. Righteous and raucous, your voice at the beginning of this debacle was one of the loudest. "You're a dead man walking" is shouted to other mothers' sons, ...based in part on your powerful words.

"We know you know."

Any decent person would step forward now and DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING. But you hide behind fluff and nonsense, cowering behind one "cutsey" column after the next. Go read that powerful, classic play "All my Sons" to see the only anti-hero to compare with yourself.. "Yes, in a way ",that man says "they were all my sons. " Colin, Reade and Dave."

I don't believe I've been "soft" on Ruth or the N&O.

Yet, apologies of any sort are in short supply in this tragedy.Ms. Sheehan might have written nothing at all or gone silent and sullen , like so many others have.I understand some of the feelings here, but when even one of these folks take a step toward us, I feel we need to take a step too.

We acknowledged Professor Crowley when he retracted his op-ed piece and acknowledge the spirit of Ruth's post today.

The NAACP is a VERY worthy organization that will stand forever. The NAACP will work to defend injustice anywhere.The NAACP is here to fight the cause of the little man who can't fight for himself. OOOOOOOh...but that is so wrong in your eyes!!!! The NAACP is defending the victim's right to be heard. Men mightier than you have tried to shake the foundation of the NAACP and failed. It is your own fear that paralyze you. Your crappy writings on a blog is NOT changing anything. But, if you think so.. dream on.. it's a free country last time I checked. Just in case you're pretending the victim is NOT part of the human race or you feel she has no rights...think again! The victim & all poor people have a Constitutional right in this country. Having a lot of money does NOT impress me. There are some people who refuse to sell their soul for a dollar.

The NAACP is serving as a watch dog for this case...Making sure the victim is teated fairly. She hasn't. That was the reason for the gag order issued by Judge Titus. It wasn't soon enough.

No one is above the law.

Do something about the weakness & insecurities you feel? It might do you good.

Your want to influence the Judicial System in NC and I don't think the people will allow you to do so. But, nice try though, you've failed...again!

If it makes you foam at the mouth that "I"- "We" support the victim...So be it!

Anonymous said...

You are crazy if you think the NAACP is involved in this case solely for the accuser. They are involved to get face time in the public---but even they have cooled off their support because the charges fell through.

in your words..."keep dreaming" though.

And you're right, no one is above the law-that's why nifong is going to jail soon.

justice58 said...

"---but even they have cooled off their support because the charges fell through".

I beg to differ!!! There are 2 charges still pending. The Sexual Assault & Kidnapping charges that carry long prison sentences.

But, I see you're in absolute dreamland. Take a reality check 6:03 you need one.

Anonymous said...

Justice-the fact that the woman suddenly couldnt "remember" if she was raped was a rdflag. The NAACP may have overlooked a lot of things, but they are not ones who want to be associated with a fake rape accusation. They remember Tawana Brawley, trust me.

The two charges will be dropped february 5th.

And by the way, weren't you the one who said with such certainty there was no way in hell the rape charge would be dropped/the accuser wouldn't go through with the rape charge? Suddenly her cousin Jakki is saying she wanted to drop ALL the charges twice and Nifong "wouldn't let her".

You wanna talk about dreamland? You want these boys to go to jail for no other reason than they are white and rich. in your own words...'keep dreaming'.

Anonymous said...

To: 5:44 are an ignorant fool who doesn't know the law. The false accuser is now a WITNESS for the state of NC. It is NC that has indicted the Defendants, based, as is clear to all, false testimony by the sole complaining witness. This witness, your "victim", together with Nifong, have violated the Defendants' rights. It is the Defendants' rights that the constitution protects,and against the very treachery that the state and your lying "victim" have tried to perpetrate. You think your victim has a soul? Let's see, third child on the way with 3 different fathers,and doesn't raise any of them; has DNA of 5 different males plus her boyfriend in and on her body, plus complained that Kim stole her $2,000. Remember? Not a bad haul for a weekend's work. Tax-free too. So, she's not poor. She is simply an irresponsible liar with questionable moral values, who is willing to bring children into this world knowing that neither she nor the fathers will raise them. This liar has plenty of rights, but maybe the NAACP can start teaching her about responsibilities and virtues, especially the virtue of honesty.

justice58 said...

What proof do you have that "she" wanted to drop rape charges? If you didn't get it from her lips... it's hearsay. Sorry.. but you lose..aggggain. That BS won't work in court.

No No... haha there's the dreaming again if you think the rest of the charges will be dropped. It's like.. your understanding is zero. Do you attend Duke??? hmmmm

justice58 said...

What does her having 3 children have anything to do with whether or not a rape happened? I tell you, I'm scared of all your ignorance.

Yes, she has rights and the NAACP IS right there to defend them. Got that??

Now lets talk about "questionable moral values" concerning the dukies... Read & take your time!

1. They hired women to strip (talk about morals)
2. They lied about who the party was for
3. They lied about who they were
4. They were involved in encouraging underage drinking
5.Some were convicted of other crimes
6. They were warned by the coach/university to tone down their behavior
7. They had no respect for their neighbors
8. Some were seen urinating out of windows & urinating on lawn
9. Throwing trash in neighbors yard
10. A trial will expose other things..

Don't try that BS with me about questionable morals values...okay!

The NAACP each night says its prayers of thanks that so many blacks still think its okay to have multiple children out of wedlock, then don't raise them,then turn themselves into drug addled alcoholic prostitutes, and then to save their sorry worthless asses, will try to destroy 3 innocent white students. Without sorry fools like you and Crystal, the NAACP leadership would have to go out and look for real work.

Gee, "Injustice," how many drive-by shootings did the lacrosse players commit? How many armed robberies? For that matter, how many rapes?

So, please, do not try to tell me that the lacrosse players somehow were participants in a crime wave. Are they part of gangs? You in Durham know all about gangs, don't you?

No, we don't have to buy your crap any longer. The Durham street knew immediately that Crystal was lying, as did the cops, but the black community in Durham believed that it was entitled to being able to railroad people for crimes not committed.

Guess what, injustice? People rose up and now Nifong is in real trouble. I got an email tonight from a U.S. attorney who told me that Nifong has criminal liability.

Yes, "injustice," the black community helped to create a crime wave in Durham -- in the DA's office!

Don't give us this tired crap any longer. You know and I know that Reade, Collin, and Dave are not going to jail. Sorry to disappoint you, but the other charges will fall by the wayside, too, including your beloved Mikey Liefong.

You like lies?!? Drink up!! Indeed, drink up to all the lies that Crystal and the NAACP have told. Yes, the NAACP wants us to believe that Reade Seligmann came back to the party after going to the ATM in order to rape dear Crystal.

Oh, I am so sorry. Now, we find she was not raped. So sorry.

So, it is not about Crystal "being heard." It is about lying. It is about framing an African immigrant in order to impeach his testimony. Tell me, do you want Mikey Liefong to arrest the ATM, too?

You really make me sick, but the difference is that after this is over, you will still be a pathetic liar. The people you so hate, however, will be just fine.

Hey Justice, if you wanna talk moral behavior, how about performing sexual acts for money? How about stealing a taxi and trying to kill/run over a police officer? How about lying about rape? Inserting inanimate objects into her vagina for two complete strangers to get off. Funny, you condemn the guys for hiring a stripper (which is perfectly legal) but you don't condone her for BEING a stripper. She is a slut whore who has had 3 children out of wedlock, 2 who were the result of ADULTERY, she is a prescription drug abuser, an absent mother, a terrible daughter, and you have the balls to say public urination and underage drinking equate to anything this lying smut has done in her lifetime?

She has made a mockery of the African American community. So has Liefong. Do you not comprehend the seriousness of what he is accused of doing? he is a lawyer who abused his position and lied under oath un a court of law and railroaded three young men in order to "win" a case.

Crystal Mangum and Mike Nifong are going to share a jail cell together. The only "shows" she'll be doing are for him in their cell.

Anonymous said...

Oh and PS-I like that you overlooked my question. Weren't you the one who was DEFINITELY SURE the rape charge would NEVER be dropped? How come you were wrong?

You thought you were so right about the rape charge never being dropped, and you were 100% wrong, just like you are about the other charges being dropped. Nifong has no case whatsoever, Mangum is a lying slut and I can't WAIT for her to be exposed.

At the end of the day, Collin, Reade and Dave will continue with their lives, educate from an amazing school, get a good job, get married, raise and provide for a family. They will have good lives. Crystal, if she isnt in jail, will continue to get knocked up, overdose on prescription drugs, and fuck strange men for money.

Sucks for her.

Clarification: I didn't mean to imply that a different editor was at the helm when this broke. What I was saying was that the natural instincts of The Herald-Sun for years was to not be swayed by political correctness on any story. That was their strength. And when this story broke they reacted on that old instinct BEFORE being reined in by the Paducah mafia that bought the paper in 2005.

bill anderson said...

Yes, injustice, a U.S. attorney. That is, a federal prosecutor, and I got the sense that there are few roadblocks left for the investigation. You see, because blacks all vote for Democrats anyway, the Republican-run federal prosecutors do not have to worry about offending the blacks. They offend them just by being Republicans.

By the way, how many times did you and your friends laugh at the prospect of some white boys being falsely accused of rape? You see, injustice, I have my sources in Durham and they tell me that the blacks all knew it was a fraud, but they all relished the idea of false accusations and convictions.

Yes, injustice, you are a person without a conscience, just like Crystal. I suspect that you, too, would levy false charges against someone. But, in the end, you are just another liar, just like your friend Crystal.

You were swaggering around after the November election, weren't you? It was all a joke, Nifong gets wrongful convictions, and you and your friends high-five each other. Sorry that the story ends differently.

And don't give me the crap that Crystal was raped or that anyone even touched her. You and your friends already knew that, but you decided to perpetuate the lie anyway. Why? Because you are a dishonest person.

But, at least you spell better than Houston Baker.

justice58 said...

anon 8:43

The rape charges were dropped b/c the victim said ..she couldn't testify with certainty that a penis entered her. She most likely was under the influence of something that may have been given to her at the party. I can understand her NOT knowing whether a penis entered into her. That can be difficult sometimes if you're bent over and can't see what is going on. I don't fault her for that. It could have been any object such as dildo etc.

To my understanding: she NEVER NEVER NEVER said a rape DIDN'T happen. But as you know...the sexual assault and kidnapping charges still stand. Mike Nifong could have easily dropped ALL charges but he didn't. He knows something you & I don't.

Do you honestly think the defense is going to release some incriminating facts about the accused to the public? Be for real..pleassssse. I'm supporting her and I make NO apologies for it.
The victim has NOT been treated fairly because she dared to bring charges against rich duke students. This is why the NAACP stepped in to be a watch dog over this case & rightly so.

Read this & weep: This will go to trial and we will hear BOTH sides of the story, then a jury will render a fair verdict. Got that!

This is not going to trial. By the way, injustice, they tested dear Crystal for the dreaded "date rape" drugs. No druggies were found. There was no "clear liquid." Crystal showed up drunk and drugged. She had plenty of help before she arrived. You cannot repeat the tired old lie because I am on to you.

You see, you can try to lie to others, but you cannot lie to me because I know this case. Furthermore, it never will make it to a jury no matter how much you want it to do so.

Nifong has no secret cache of information, and you know it. He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and then decided to drop some charges after having declared all along he was certain that a rape had happened.

Oh, yes, injustice. During the ID video, your friend Crystal is pointing out the people, and then saying right out that he did so and so. But now, we are supposed to believe that he did NOT do so and so? Such crap, such crap.

You see, you are a liar, just like your friend, and just like the people at the NAACP. You must have read the Scottsboro Boys story, since you are sounding like the white racist prosecutors who went after the case. I recently wrote an article that drew the parallels.

Just think. After all these years of denouncing white racists, you basically decided to act like them. What a giant step forward, wouldn't you say?

Guess what, injustice. Your lies will not get this to trial. Sorry. Game over. And it will get even worse for Mikey Nifong, your hero.

HAHAHA.. My God.. you're wrong agggain. You just don't get it! So sorry your understanding is "0".

The Judicial system will run it course & the only thing you can do is write on a blog, thinking you're accomplishing something and wish this case disappear.You're just pitiful and down right shameful.

I usually don't like to rub egg in anyone's face...but I can't help myself on this one. Stand up and take the egg like a man...okay!

heeheehee looks like Justice58 smacked your ass, bill. now that was funny.

bill anderson said...

Whatever. Writing in all caps does not change the fact that she is lying, and her friend Crystal is lying.

All of the writing in all caps, and all of the references to Almighty God won't change anything. Anyway, I am not sure that her little rant had anything to do with reality.

The case will disappear, but Durham's liability will not. Nor will Duke's. All of the bluster and wolfing that comes from injustice will not change the fact that the Duke Non-Rape Case will soon be the Duke Non-Rape, Non-Kidnapping, Non-Sexual Assault Case.

You see, the Holy Scriptures contains this little, bitty commandment that says, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbors." False witness means lying. injustice knows a lot about lying.

Justice, is it going to be the same egg on our faces you said we'd have when the woman stood up on the stand and pointed out the three men and said "those are the boys that RAPED ME"? Or the egg you said we'd have on our faces when the 3 boys were found guilty of RAPE? Because as far as I can tell, we never got those eggs.

She gave a DETAILED explaination of a penis being in her. She explained in great detail what each boy did to her, and it included, in great detail, a penis. You think suddenly, 9 months later, she was like "umm actually, that wasn't a penis". Come on. It's a joke. Her and Nifong are in boiling water and it's only getting hotter.

Can't wait 'til it's dismissed, civil suits follow, and Liefong is disbarred.

Guy Fox said...

Justice58, I believe you made a Freudian slip when you said "The NAACP will work to defend injustice anywhere." While I don't believe that to be necessarily true in all, or even most, circumstances, they're certainly defending the perpetrators of a gross injustice in this case, and I've noticed how silent they're becoming. All I can figure is that you still believe Tawana Bradley as well. How does it feel, Justice58, to be on the side of the white supremacists during the Scottsboro Boys and Trenton Six trials? How does it feel to take the stance of the first two juries who tried Byron de la Beckwith after he murdered Medgar Evers? Those who fail to learn from history are damned to repeat it, and that's certainly some history that doesn't bear repeating.

you might learn what all 9th graders learn--basing guilt and innocence on skin color is a horrid thing.

You are equivilant to the KKK--you seek "justice" for only those who share the pigment of your skin. How sad.

allie said...

justice, telling someone they're wrong and calling them ignorant without refuting a single one of their arguments isn't going to win you a debate against actual adults. please stop wasting our time.

Anonymous said...

Justice, you reall think the accuser said "i can not testify with certainty whether or not a penis was used to penetrate me"? Yeah, I'm sure those were her EXACT words. Just like the rape nurse in training said "there are inuuries consistant with rape"--we all know a.) she didn't say that (because the injuries WEREN'T consistant with rape and b.) that is legal jargen that lawyers used, which Mike NIfong LIED about.

This woman didn't say "i cnanot testify with certainty...etc", one, because there are just too many big words for someone like her to know (snicker), and two, that's not how people speak on a regular basis, let alone a stirpper with little education and a clearly limited sense of intelligence. She probably told Nifong she didn't want to go through with the rape charges anymore and that's how he phrased it in the court document.

You buy everything Nifong tells you. He could tell you black people have smaller brains and piss alcohol and you'd probably find a way to believe him. You're retarded, I hope you don't have kids, only adds to the already overwhelming stupidity in the world.

You should change your name to injustice59, or "im a race pandering idiot 38". Sounds good to me.

Hey, why don't you try TYPING IN ALL CAPS AGAIN because that made your point seem way more educated and your opinion way more credible. You sounded so smart. It's amazing WHAT CAPS CAN DO RIGHT? NOW I REALLY LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN BIG LETTERS BECAUSE CLEARLY THOSE WHO TYPE IN CAPS REALLY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH AND WAY MORE INFORMED THAN ME. Do it again, please?

i have to speak up:

1.Bill anderson you are nothing but a racist liar. The black people in Durham DO NOT believe in perpetuating a false case; they are like Justice in that many think something happened and the case is therefore not false at all and they believe the Dukies are liars and that they are buying justice. The blacks support a trial so the truth can finally come out. Therefore your statement that ALL the blacks in durham know the charges are a hoax and are going along with the railroading of 3 innocent men, etc is a LIE; especially since you have not had your racist ass in Durham period, much less talk to anybody black here. Like,Justice who was quoting scripture on here, many blacks in Durham are deeply religious and would not support bearing false witness againist their neighbor as it is a violation of one of the TEN Commandments.

Although this is hard for you to understand as you have spent a lot of time minimising the LAX team's bad behavior, many people point to the same things Justice has said in how the team set up the party, how they ran away afterward and their history of disciplinary problems at Duke and with DPD and the context of racial epithets as part of the belief that the LAX team did something to the accuser that night. MANY BLACKS DO NOT BELIEVE THE DUKE 3 ARE INNOCENT--THEY ARE NOT KNOWINGLY PROMOTING A RAILROAD, BILL ANDERSON!

2.You state that the LAX team has no history of rape but that is not true as the house at 610 Buchanon is well known on Duke campus as a site of date rape and has been toilet papered by irate coeds many times. Ask some current Duke undergrads and they can definitely corroborate the toilet papering and bad reputation on campus. It is also why the female LAX team was not there partying with these men that night as those girls knew better than to be there with them. The last police call to 610 Buchanon prior to the rape incident was a call about a naked white female coming out of a window at this house and running to campus and this was reported by the neighbors in Trinity Park; kind of chilling that they may have also done something abusive to white girls in the past. Nifong also mentioned he had recieved letters from women raped at Duke who had not come forward and i believe that some of the letters may refer to the antics at 610 buchanon. That may be what is keeping Nifong in this fight; the knowledge that the LAX team may have raped/assaulted before but the white victims were afraid to come forward.

bill anderson said...

Until now, I would have thought that most blacks in Durham would have believed Darryl Hunt was innocent. You see, when investigators finally did DNA testing, they DID NOT FIND Hunt's DNA on or in the body of Debra Lynn Sykes.

The LACK of DNA was enough not only to have Mr. Hunt freed, but also to win a pardon from the governor. The state NAACP supported Hunt's releast and the pardon.

Fast forward to 2006. Absolutely NO DNA was found on the accuser anywhere, but we suddenly heard that DNA did not matter in rape and assault cases. The NAACP told us that it did not matter, that only personal testimony mattered. Since Crystal had made an accusation, that was ALL that was needed to make the story true.

If one compares the evidence, we can see now that the NAACP's decision to back Hunt could only have been race-based, and not evidence-based. Why do I say that? Because in the Duke case, the NAACP suddenly is telling us that DNA is irrelevant, so if DNA is irrelevant here, then it would have to be irrelevant everywhere else, too.

Yes, you can call me a racist if you like. It's a lie, but people have been telling so many lies, beginning with Crystal, that one more really will not be noticed.

bill anderson said...

Let me make one correction. Absolutely NO DNA from any lacrosse player was found on Crystal. There was lots of DNA from other men.

By the way, she told police she had not engaged in sexual relations with anyone else for a week. Guess the DNA must have come from thin air, as all of us know that Crystal does not lie.

Anonymous said...

Do you have ANY PROOF whatsoever that the Duke Lacrosse team was ever accused of a date rape? Because as far as I know (and, being a female lacrosse manager, I think I'd know) no one on that team has ever been accused of date raping a woman, let alone at 610 Buchanan. So I don't know who you are talking to on the Duke campus, but no one on that team has ever been accused of date raping, or raping in general for that matter, a woman. Ever.

But please, continue to perpetrate MORE lies, make up more BS just so you have an excuse to hate the rich white kids. Why don't you make up the lie that they put puppies in the oven so you have yet another excuse to hate them?

As for the blacks in Durham, you making the excuse that they "really believe something happened" makes it worse. It shows that blacks in Durham WANT to believe something happened so incredibly badly, that they are willing to look over every piece of evidence that has nothing to do with race-DNA, paper trails, eye witness testimony, time lines created by the DA himself, faulty IDing processes, descriptions that match NONE of the indicted, and the list goes on. If black people can overlook ALL of this evidence and the DA's blatent lying, it proves that either a.) they really are stupid and don't deserve any human rights because they don't know how to use them properly, or b.) they want so desperately to see a white kid get in trouble for "harming" a black woman, that they will ignore all evidence that is pure fact, and rely entirely on an accuser's testimony that not only has been faulty, but changed multiple times, with very limited credibility. If this case were reversed, and several young black men were on the chopping block, do you think the black community would be so quick to dismiss ALL the exculpatory evidence on the word of a white woman? I sincerely doubt it.

Let me give you an example of why your reasoning of "the judiciary process must got through" and "there must be a trial"....You are in Durham right now (or so I assume)...I am in New York. I call 911 at this very moment (9:25 in the morning) and tell them you (I have your name, for argument's sake) raped me, violently. The police show up to your house in Durham and arrest you. I give the polie several versions of a story that involves you and me and a rape. You not only weren't even in New York at the time I say I was raped, you can prove you were somewhere else. No where on or in my body is any DNA from you, but there is DNA from several other men, even though I swore under oath that I had not had sex with anyone for at least a week. I have no signs of rape, no phsyical signs of rape, and even in the first hours of the accusation, you provide tons of evidence that proves you weren't there. But I still say you raped me.

Do I deserve to take you to trial? Would you feel that I had a right to put your entire life on hold for 9 months, make you pay for a lawyer, pay for bail, and run your good name through the mud if you knew, the public knew, and both of our lawyers knew that not only is there no way in hell I will get a conviction, but that you are absolutely innocent? Would you be willing to watch your life get torn to shreds simply because I felt like accusing you? Do you think I deserve the "judiciary" right to simply ruin your life with absolutely no facts or evidence to support my accusation?

No. I can guarantee you would not sit idly back and say "Yes Stef, please, let the judiciary process continue on it's way, I have nothing better to do for 9 months, I don't mind that I lost my job (like Evans) and that I can't attend my classes (Dave and Reade). I don't mind that even when I am proven innocent the rape charges will follow me for the rest of my life, I don't mind that every single person in the nation knows every detail about my family, where I live, how much my parents make, my GPA, what classes I took last fall, fights I've gotten into, phone calls I've made. I don't mind having racist groups, like the Black Panther Party, showing up where I live screaming racist, inciting riots in the courtroom by using racial epitephts, threatening my life. I don't care, I think it is imperative that you get the trial because it is your right as a human to have your say.

Is that what you'd say? I hope so. Because if it's not, you have no right whatsoever to say "people in durham believe a trial is NECCESSARY". A trial is only neccessary when there is evidence to cooberate an accusation. I can't just have David Ortiz arrested for rape and taken to a lengthy and expensive trial without any proof whatsoever. That's not how the courts system work in America, and for a very good reason. If we could just "go to trial" without any proof whatsoever, we could accuse and theoretically charge anyone with any crime at any time and our taxes would be a WHOLLLLLLE lot higher for all the unneccessary court proceedings.

And I hate how everyone says the white boys are "buying" justice. What, because they are able to pay for capable attorney's who did their jobs (sought and provided exculpatory evidence for their client) suddenly it's a scam? It isn't real? Did you expect wealthy families who care deeply about their children to let some no name 50$ lawyer represent their sons in a case that may put their sons in jail based on race alone for 30+ years? Did you expect the parents and families of these young men to not do everything within their legal power to protect their sons and make sure they were well represented? No one is paying anyone off here to get the boys off. No one is covering anything up (with exception to Mike Liefong) to get the boys off. No one is fucking around with the case to get the boys off. The boys own innocence is what is making it so easy for their lawyers to get them off. If it had anything to do with money or "buying" justice, the entire case would have been dropped months ago. Seeing as it wasn't, I don't think the boys have "bought" their way out of anything. Just because their families have money doesn't mean the families (and the guys) aren't capable of doing the right thing. No where does it say that money = bad doings. My family is affluent and I grew up with Collin. I have lived a good and moral life. I once stole something from the Discovery Zone when I was 7 and I sat in my room crying about it, then returned it. My paren'ts money had nothing to do with my upbrining in terms of any trouble I've ever gotten into or out of.

As for you Justice--if you claim to have read TKaMB, clearly you failed the test on it, because you learned nothing from the book. I suggest you reread it and take into account its message about race, race baiting, race pandering, and false accusations based on race. Something tells me your simple mind can't grasp the bigger concept though.

allie said...

so.. given a choice between knowingly perpetuating a false case and being too stupid/stubborn to actually realize that the case is false, you think most durhamites fall into the latter category.

eh, I guess ignorance is preferable to malice, right?

I did enjoy your toilet-papering story though, because that's totally what I would do if I got raped- go TP the guy's house.

Guy Fox said...

Justice58, while I defend your right to spread your garbage, you are woefully pathetic and lack the debate skills of an infant barely out of its diapers. When mountains of evidence comes to light of the Duke 3's actual innocence and an even greater flood of proof of prosecutorial misconduct on the part of Nifong, you choose to believe that the facts are mentioned because those who support them, regardless of their race, hate African-Americans. As a side note, I think the term "African-American" is complete and utter bullshit, because Dr. King wanted this to be one America and most people in this nation have never even been to Africa, and even fewer are from there.

4:33, the only thing your comments have in common with justice is that the word "justice" was used. However, your understanding of the meaning of the word is nonexistent. Since you seem handicapped in this area, I'll give you a dumbed-down definition of "justice". Justice is what happens when innocent people are set free, when their names are not dragged through the mud over the course of the better part of a year without cause, and when their civil rights aren't grossly violated by a rogue prosecutor whose sole interest is the pursuit of his career instead of the pursuit of justice. Perhaps you can answer me a question, though: How does it feel now that you know that one "man," one Mr. Nifong, has made you and thousands of eager patsies his bitch?

Anonymous said...

Justice58, by your logic and utter disregard for empirical, scientific evidence what do the facts have to do with anything? You are same idiot who would prefer they teach creationism rather than evolution. This case is over. The only issue to be determined here is how much who will be paying those 3 wrongly accused and when they will pay it. This is how it will shake out.

One Mistake that Can Crush (BD) Pipeline Dreams

by Scott

Prior to SinglePlatform, one of my biggest business development mistakes was failing to include a measure within my hitlist that allowed me to prioritize opportunities.

For those foreign to the concept, a hitlist (or pipeline) comprises of all of the companies that you could potentially partner with, sell to etc. It’s essentially a list of targets.

Inevitably there are going to be some target deals that move the needle for your company more than others. Doing a deal with Google, will probably make your company more valuable than doing a deal with a startup that may not be around in a year. Thus, as you build out your hitlist it’s important to be able to quantify how much value opportunities might drive …

Why I Make Fun of My Life When I Pitch

by Scott

Every time I’m pitching someone, I always try to make fun of my life in some way. In fact, I intentionally seek out opportunities to do this.

A lot of business development and sales is about likability. Given two equal products, buyers will purchase from the seller they like more. Hence, by making myself more likable, I increase my odds of succeeding.

There are many components to likability; some which we can control, others that we can’t (like being 6’4, tan, and really, really ridiculously good-looking – crap). One aspect of likability we can control is how relatable we are.

How Being Relatable Enhances Likability

People like people that they can identify with. There’s an inherent sense of understanding injected into an interaction when you …

How to Write An Effective Follow Up Email

by Scott

One of the biggest fallacies I see amongst professionals who write cold emails is their failure to follow up. Knowing how to write an effective follow up email effectively is probably the easiest way to increase your response rate if you aren’t already doing it.

Make It Easy

The optimal way to follow up to an unanswered email is by replying to the first one you sent. This practice allows you to:

Keep the followup short
Make the initial context easy for the reader to find
Emphasize that they have not responded to you

By initially following up on a separate thread, you’re putting an onus on the reader. Often they didn’t read or forgot the initial email. As a result, when they receive …

Business Development 101: Silence Can Be Your Friend

by Scott

In the business development world, the world silence usually has a negative connotation, but when you’re pitching it can be a good thing.

People are naturally uncomfortable with silence during a phone conversation with a new acquaintance. When they encounter it, they don’t know what to do…so they just start talking.

Often there are valuable pieces of information that prospects hold close to their chest. An example might be how interested they are in buying your product or service. Just like on a car lot, they might not want to seem too interested to maintain bargaining leverage. Other times there’s questions that are just awkward to ask directly.

You can use the silence disposition to your advantage in these type of scenarios. Purposefully …

BD 101: Acknowledging the Language Barrier

by Scott

One mistake people make in BD and sales is they assume prospects speak their language.

“We provide a free API….”
“It’s the simplest CMS on the market…”

These are presumptuous statements. I’d like to think that the prospects I reach out to know what an API or CMS is, but it’s just not always the case. If understanding my value proposition is contingent upon familiarity with specific terminology I risk losing an opportunity. Why? Because people are too lazy to investigate something they’re not familiar with. That’s why it’s imperative to communicate your value in such a way that anyone can understand. It sounds incredibly obvious, yet I see people make this mistake time and time again.

For initial outreach I aim to include …

BD 101: How to Prevent and Navigate Prospects From Going Cold – Part 2

by Scott

In the first part of this post, I talked about ways to prevent prospects from going cold. The reality is that even when you do all these things, people will still go cold…even after they act super interested initially.

Here are a few tactics I’ve used to reinvigorate a cold conversation, starting with the least obvious first.

Blame Yourself/Act Like It’s Your Fault

Again, my thesis is that people who initially seem interested go cold because they’re weary of confrontation. They’d rather just ignore someone than say “not right now” or “I really like this but my boss thinks its not worth our time.” Communicating these type of responses makes them uncomfortable. They anticipate you’ll react by continuing to sell and they don’t …

BD 101: How to Prevent and Navigate Prospects From Going Cold – Part 1

by Scott

Anyone in business development or sales has probably had someone go cold on them. Everything seems to be going well than the person on the other side stops responding to your emails or calls.

Why This Happens

Each situation is unique, but I think it all comes back to the same underlying reason: people avoid confrontation. They don’t want to deal with the pressure of saying no or being sold, especially when they’re not buying.

Saying no or even not right now is harder than saying yes or not responding at all. It’s just easier to ignore someone than to tell them that their offering isn’t a priority right now.

Preventing Radio Silence

As a BD/sales person, I love when people are transparent with me. …

BD 101: What to Avoid While Getting that First Meeting

by Scott

“Before we hop on a call, mind sending over a deck or one-pager my team can review”

I get this all the time. Target partners and customers often want collateral on your offering prior to taking a meeting with you. It’s a filtering mechanism they use to spend their time efficiently.

I avoid sending material prior to a first meeting at all costs. Here’s why:

The person on the other side is going to look at what you send them and immediately draw conclusions about what your company does. From here they’ll quickly determine whether they’re interested in taking that meeting. If they are, awesome…proceed as usual. But if they’re not, odds are you’ve lost the deal and this person will magically become …

This infographic from College@Home spells out the mental and physical impact of commuting (and also explains where traffic comes from). The more time you spend commuting, the more you worry and the greater your health risks—partly because sitting too much wrecks your health and also because commuting is just plain stressful. A recent study of 4,300 people in Texas further supports previous studies on the ill effects of commuting, linking long commutes to less physical activity, excess belly fat, and higher blood pressure.

It isn't easy to change your commuting time, but it may definitely pay off. Shortening your commute by 20 minutes might lower your risk of neck and back pain by 14%, obesity by 20%, and heart attack by 300% (see how different commuting times affect your health in this Gallup survey). Besides the health benefits, moving closer to work can save you $795 a year for each mile). If you can't move or change your commute, this is just another reason to find more ways to move during the day and try to convince your boss to let you work from home.

Definition for Auxiliary Nodes

Transform Node

The transform node is a grouping node. As a group node it can be used to define a set of nodes as a single object. However this is not the main purpose of this node. This node allows you to define a new local coordinate system for the nodes within the group.

This node can be used to perform the following geometric transformations:

  • Scale
  • Rotation
  • Translation
  • All the nodes inside a Transform group are affected by these transformations, i.e. all coordinates are computed in the local coordinate system. Transform groups inside Transforms groups accumulate the transformations specified in each Transform. The inner Transform group defines a local coordinate system based on the coordinate system defined in the outer transform group.

    The following fields are present:
  • children which contains all the nodes included in the group.
  • scale specifies a 3D scaling transformation.
  • scaleOrientation defines a rotation of the axes for the scaling operation.
  • center defines the center of the scaling transform.
  • rotation defines a rotation on an arbitrary axis.
  • translation defines the origin of the local coordinate system.
  • bboxCenter specifies the center of a box that encloses the nodes in the group. The value for this field is a 3D point.
  • bboxSize specifies where the size of a box that encloses the nodes in the group. By default this field has a value of -1 -1 -1, which implies that no box is defined. The values for this field must be greater than or equal to zero. If the children nodes do not fit inside the box defined the results are undefined.

  • Syntax:
    Transform {
    scale 1 1 1
    scaleOrientation 0 0 1 0
    center 0 0 0
    rotation 0 0 1 0
    translation 0 0 0
    bboxCenter 0 0 0
    bboxSize -1 -1 -1
    children []

    A scaling operation allows you to resize a shape. You can enlarge or decrease the size of a shape in any number of dimensions. The scale factors must be positive. The next figure presents an example.

    The left box is a cube defined using the Box node without any scaling operation. The second is scaled in the X axis by 0.2, the third is scaled in the Y axis also by 0.2, and the fourth is scaled both in the Y and Z axes by 0.2.

    Sometimes, you may wish that the axes to which the scaling operation is applied were not the standard axes. scaleOrientation field allows you to rotate the axes, the scaling factors will be applied to the rotated axes and not to the original axes. The scaleOrientation field specifies a vector which defines the rotation axis, and the angle measure for rotation.

    The cube from the right had a scale of 1.3 in the Y axis which was previously rotated by 45 degrees in the Z axis. The next figure shows the computations involved step by step.

    The left figure shows the axes and a box prior to any geometric transformations. The second shows the effect of the scaleOrientation, a rotation of 45 degrees in the Z axis. The scaleOrientation used was 0 0 1 0.75, the first three values specify a vector, the fourth an angle (recall that in VRML angles are defined in radians).

    Note that after the third step the axes go back to normal, i.e. those in the left figure.

    Because translation is the last transformation to be applied, it may sometimes be convenient to define a translated set of axes for the scaling operation. Note that as for the scaleOrientation, this translation is only effective for the scale transformation. The field center allows you to perform such a translation.

    The next figure shows a default box (in the middle) and two scaled boxes, the one on the right using a center of (0,-1,0) and the left one without using center.

    The effect of the center field in this case is that the final position of the scaled boxes is different. Sometimes this can bring some advantage, if for instance you need to know where a specific point of the shape will be after scaling. In the above example, the base of the shape in the right after scaling remains at the same position as the original unscaled shape (in the middle).

    You can combine all three scaling related fields together, in this case the axes will be translated to the center point, rotated according to the scaleOrientation, and finally scaled as defined in the scale field. Please experiment in the right side frames at your will.

    A rotation is defined by a vector and an angle. The vector specifies the axis of rotation, whereas the angle specifies the amount to rotate in a counter clockwise direction. The following figure shows a dotted Box in its default position and the Box rotated 45 degrees in the Z axis.

    Rotations can be done in an arbitrary axis if desired. The following figure shows some rotations applied to boxes.

    The left box has no rotation applied to it, the second box has a rotation of 45 degrees in the Y axis, the third is rotated in the X axis also by 45 degrees, the fourth is rotated 45 degrees using a vector (1 1 0).

    The center field explained earlier in the Scale section has the same effect in rotations.

    In the above example a center of (2,2,0) was used, middle figure, and afterwards a rotation of 45 degrees was performed on the Z axis, right figure.

    Translations allow you to place a shape wherever you want to. The following figure attempts to depict the concept.

    The dotted lines represent the coordinate system outside the Transform node. The full lines represent the local coordinate system inside a Transform node which defines a translation as specified by the arrow vector. The translation in the figure could be (1,1,0), i.e. the local coordinate system in the Transform node would have has its origin the point (1,1,0) from the coordinate system defined outside the Transform node.

    You have probably already guessed that the two figures with a set of cubes had several translations involved.

    Composing Multiple Geometric Transformations

    Up till now you've been playing with single transformations, but you can combine two or all geometric transformations in a single transform node.

    The transformations are independent of each other. For instance if you have both a translation and an orientation in the same Transform, the translation is not affected by the orientation and vice-versa.

    In the above example if you did want the translation to occur in the rotated axis system then you should define two nested Transform nodes, placing the orientation in the outter Transform, and the translation in the inner Transform node.

Most memorable space shuttle moments

For more than 30 years, America's space shuttles have rocketed into orbit. Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour blasted off 134 times from the Kennedy Space Center. They were mankind's first reusable space launch vehicles, and the first to glide back to Earth on wings. As the space shuttle program ends with the final flight of Atlantis, CNN looks back at key moments that have defined this pioneering space program.

JTV vs.Variax700
by fransvisserhb on 2012-06-07 09:54:03.1900

Hello, has anybody replaced his Variax700 electric for one on the JTV guitars?

I am owner of a Variax700 electric and a Variax300 Nylon string guitar in combination with a POD X3 Live.

Until now I'm pretty satisfied with this although the new JTV guitars have my interest.

However I'm not sure if the JTV adds a lot of value in my situation. As far as I can see will the JTV work perfectly OK in combination with the HD Pods.

Has anybody experience with the new JTV guitars in combination with the POD X3 Live?

Rgs, Frans

I had two 700's and liked them. That said, the JTV is a much better sounding guitar, and I like the way it plays better too. The increase in processing power, and the bridge improvements give much better response to your pick attack. I always felt the 700 felt "removed" a bit , like there was a delay or softening of the notes. I don't feel that at all with the JTV.

Also, because you have a choice of body style, you can choose a guitar that fits with your playing style better. I have a 69 because I like Fender scales and body shapes.

If you're a Variax lover, I think the JTV is a no brainer.

Re: JTV vs.Variax700
by MerlinFL on 2012-06-07 13:10:42.4390

As the previous post states in his opinion it's a no brainer, but I dothink it should be thought about.  I have two Vax 700 electric models, plus I have two JTV models...an 89 & a 59 because I'm not a Fender style guitar person and both of these guitars are very different in feel and each has it's own purpose for my live performances.

A Major point, has been left out if you choose to get a JTV guitar of any model, you will lose the communication you have now between the Vax 700/300 & your X3 Live unitNone of the older units are capable of changing the guitar models when changing the amp patches.  If you want to move up to a JTV guitar and gain the physical features you may or may not like better than the guitars you have now, you must consider the functionality trade off.  Is this something you are willing to give up or would you then buy a POD HD500 pedalboard or POD HD PRO & optional FBV MkII Shortboard which are the only POD HD Models that have the VDI connection of all the POD HD units.  These units do not function anything like the X3 Live unit does, so your learning curve will be a bit higher.  These are not simple plug & play units.  All these things I believe should be thought of very seriously.  I would be nice if Line 6 had this info in any of the promotional material, but it's against corporate thinking to ever mention what could be construed as a negative in promoting new gear.

I personally was very upset that the new JTV guitars would not work in the same manner as my 700s do with my Vetta.  The whole point to me is having an amp/guitar combination that Line 6 developed to change together if desired with just one footswitch on the amp or pedalboard you are using.  They thought they were supposed to be backwards compatible, but that never happened. Now I have both my older gear which I still use and the full "Dream Rig" as Line 6 named it of POD HD500, JTV, & DT50 amps.

Only the new POD HD units can change the guitar patches on the JTV guitars simultaneously.  I'm always surprised that this very important feature is hardly ever mentioned or thought about when people ask about the JTV guitars.  Especially when dealing with Line 6 retailers who are completely clueless on how any of this gear really works.

I hope this helps you make your decision better having the whole story.

Re: JTV vs.Variax700
by edstar1960 on 2012-06-08 01:32:08.7480

I had the Variax 700 and X3L combo and was very happy.  I then bought a JTV59 and was even happier with my X3L.  The analogy I use to describe the difference is like going from monochrome TV to colour TV. Not only did the guitar models sound more authentic but the amp models on the X3L sounded better too. I would point out that this is very subjective as everyone has different ears and different personal tastes but for me it was an improvement - as well as having pickups on the JTV so it could be used as a conventional guitar if necessary - and not forgetting the dynamic ALTERNATE TUNING which is just brilliant but is a moot point if you never use alternate tunings but if you do then it is a wonderful tool.  I still like the feel of my Variax 700 to play but the modelling is not as good, in my opinion.

I also bought the HD500 a few months after getting the JTV, however, I have still not managed to program it sufficiently well enough for it to replace my X3L at any gigs but that is mainly because it took me ages to find the X3L sounds I liked that work with the band and I am now comfortable with them - and it is just very tricky to get a match on the HD500. I do really like the HD500 and the modelling is more detailed than on the X3L - it's just that I have not yet managed to get sounds that work for me through my stage gear with a live band - it's a work in progress.

My JTV59 (at flash 1.71) works perfectly well with my X3L.  When I change patches on my X3L, it also changes the guitar model patch on the JTV59.  It will also support the dual mags and model mode. However, as the X3L was discontinued, the software is no longer being modified beyond that - so the very latest functional enhancements with JTV flash 1.82 are not available on the X3L but are available on the latest flash level for the HD500 - things such as using knobs on the JTV as controllers for the patches on the POD, and dynamically setting the alternate tuning from the POD and saving that with each patch. So, if you want all the functionality of the JTV/POD HD combo software then you will also need to upgrade your X3L to and HD500. However, if you just want the improved models on the JTV then you can just get the JTV and it will work just like the Variax 700 did with your X3L, that is, you can program in a patch to also change the JTV guitar model when selected.

Having said that, as the X3L is discontinued, there is no guarantee that the JTV will continue to work faultlessly with the X3L - a future firmware upgrade may break something - and from what MerlinfFL has said above maybe it already has broken with the latest 1.81 and 1.82 upgrades for the JTV.  I have not yet moved to the latest JTV firmware so cannot comment on whether it effects the functionality with the X3L.

Hope that helps you with your decision making.

Best Regards

I also own a Vax 700 and Vac 700 and have had my JTV59 about 6 months now.  A definite boost in guitar quality and sound.  Some differences in the way the guitar switches (the Les Paul style switch has three postions but the "2" and "4" postions can be accessed via the Alt tune knob) but easy to get used to.  The new acoustic models are very nice with some added sound control.  The Alt Tune knob is a very nice addition and will affect the acoustic 12 string models also.

I am very happy with the quality and build of the JTV59 as it was perfect right out of the box.  The 69 seems to have a lot of traffic on th website but its tough to judge what the level of issues are since this is a support forum and would obviously have most posts about problems with the gtr.  I am intrigued by the JTV89 but would like to get one in my hands before commenting.

Re: JTV vs.Variax700
by davidb7170 on 2012-06-08 07:13:51.2480

I have the JTV-59 with the 1.82 firmware installed, and my X3L works fine with it, switching with patches. You have to set up the switching manually on the X3L unit itself, does not work to use Gearbox to set up the 58's models with the patches like it does with my Vax 300, so it's more of a hassle, because you have maunually re-do the model/patch everytime you modify the patch in Gearbox. I just got the HD500 a couple of weeks ago, and am in the middle of exploring & programming it -- it's going to take a while, just like you, It took me a while to work out patches on the X3L -- tweaking, etc. So far, so good, but going slow to learn the foibles of the unit.

I'm totally fine with using my X3L until I'm ready to roll out the HD500. Last time I had to change in a hurry from an XTL to the X3L, I could at least import the XTL patches into the X3L -- My XTL failed on a Wed night gig and I got the X3L up & going by the weekend gig. Not gonna happen this time around, because there is not compatibility between the properties or patches from the earlier units. Total redesign of the HD from the ground up, so same with the patches. Do miss some of the FX I used on the X3L that aren't on or have vastly changed on the HD500, but that's a story for a different topic thread...

Anyway -- I do love my 59 -- way better than my 300 (duh), never played the 700, so can't comment on that. Had some bumps along the way (3-way switch issue, piezo issue) that got sorted out with much help from Line 6 & Rich in particular. It is much more of a quality instument than the 300 is (head & shoulders above). Once I'm totally confident in it, I will probably toy with maybe a transplant of my 300....

Re: JTV vs.Variax700
by edstar1960 on 2012-06-13 01:48:53.0760

Dave - thanks for confirming that the JTV at 1.82 works perfectly well with the X3L.

Re: JTV vs.Variax700
by markcockerill on 2012-06-13 04:02:19.6390

I pretty much concur with everyone else. I still have the 700 electric with Trem and whilst that was and still is a darn fine guitar, my JTV69 is much better sounding but be aware of the issues. I replaced the neck on mine the day after I got it over a year ago which turned it into a beautifully playable instrument. I mainly use the Strat and Les Paul models which are superb in comparison. This equally applies to the X3 as it does with the HD500.

Justifying the price, yes, I think so.

The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Travel Tips

As published in Monkey Business 6:

When booking a hotel room, make sure it’s in the right city. If you’re going to Istanbul, for example, make sure your moonlit bed, dead television and odd angled toilet will be in Istanbul, Turkey, and not, mon chéri, Istanbul, Iowa. Of course I know there is no such place, but there will undoubtedly be one before we break up this playfully pregnant intercourse. Look on Google Maps. You may even see your dead father jogging, quite happily, in Istanbul, Iowa.

Who doesn’t know that pickpockets are becoming ever more skillful? It’s as if their fingers have gotten longer and swifter. With their sixth, seventh or eighth sense, they can tell exactly what you’ve been hiding all your life, and your degree of masochism. Of course, you must atone for your own thievery, you compulsive robber of anything that means anything.

Some pickpockets specialize in stealing your character as you’re ordering a sandwich. Recently, I lost my virginal underwear while merely standing in line at a Starbucks in the capital of… I’d rather not say. I don’t want to besmirch this noble country since I may have been complicit in the laughable brouhaha. The pleasantly ticklish sensation lingers to this day. I could easily have been strangled, though, and dumped into a ditch.

To ensure that nothing is lifted from your decaying person, keep both hands inside your pant pockets at all time. Clutch your wallet, coins and keys with a death grip. Don’t grind your teeth, however, as that would arouse dangerous suspicion from the predators. Anticipating their next meal, they will smack their lips and extend their hands in heartfelt greetings. Simply nod, if you must be cordial, but it’s best to look quickly away, then quicken your steps as you escape their Byzantine entrapment. Even when dining in a restaurant, don’t take your hands out of your pockets for even a second. All that you ever cared for will disappear forever. It is certainly worth it to master the art of eating without hands. Millions have done it.

If someone tails you block after block, mile after mile, city after city, don’t ever turn around to see who it is, for it will certainly make you weep then destroy you. I mean, you will kill yourself immediately for not having turned around much, much sooner.

[Motoyuki Shibata, Monkey Business' editor, asked for a prose poem in late December, so I wrote the above in two days while in Leipzig. Two months later, I'd lose my camera, lenses and passport in Berlin. Reading the piece in New York last week, I joked that there is perhaps a Monkey Business curse!]

Analysis of mortality and quality of life (QOL) after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge.

Prospective, observational study.

Mixed, 31-bed, medico-surgical ICU.

Consecutive adult ICU admissions between June 25 and September 10, 2000, except admissions for uncomplicated elective postoperative surveillance.

Measurements and results

Age, past history, admission APACHE II, SOFA score (admission, maximum, discharge), ICU and hospital mortality were recorded. A telephone interview employing the EuroQol 5D system was conducted 18 months after discharge. Of 202 patients, 34 (16.8%) died in the ICU and 23 (11.4%) died in the hospital after ICU discharge. Of the 145 patients discharged alive from hospital, 22 could not be contacted and 27 (13.4%) had died after hospital discharge. Of the 96 patients (47.5%) who completed the questionnaire, 38% had a worse QOL than prior to ICU admission, but only 8.3% were severely incapacitated. Twenty-three patients (24%) had reduced mobility, 15 (15.6%) had limited autonomy, 24 (25%) had alteration in usual daily activities, 29 (30.2%) expressed more anxiety/depression, and 42 (44%) had more discomfort or pain. Twenty-eight (62.2% of those who worked previously) patients had returned to work 18 months after ICU discharge.

Comparing QOL after discharge with that before admission, patients more frequently report worse QOL for the domains of pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression than for physical domains. Factors commonly associated with a change in QOL were previous problems in the affected domains, prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS), greater disease severity at admission and degree of organ dysfunction during ICU stay.

FWIW, DVB-T uses QAM (16, 32, 64, 128).

This is a bit confusing; the encryption would be at the MPEG level,
with QAM just being the analog modulation used to carry the MPEG
data stream.

Any chance the USA would like to adopt DVB-T? :-)
I hear that QAM is better than 8VSB also (your OTA modulation).

Hmmm ok I think I may know how to solve two of the lines.  Notice the
sound module install line indicated above.  This line says "when
snd-intel8x0 is installed (meaning when it is modprobed) run
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore".  Well, try running /usr/sbin/alsactl
restore froma  prompt by itself.  If this fails, simply run
/usr/sbin/alsactl store.  This should fix it.

Let me explain.  alsactl store and alsactl restore are used to keep
track of your sound settings (i.e. volume at 10%).  When the sound
module is first modprobed it tries to restore saved settings, but has
none to restore.  Therefore this command fails.  The modprobe itself
doesn't fail, the module should still work.  It is simply the install
*trigger* fails.  If you run alsactl store once it will save some
settings in order for them to be restored.

This should remove the first two lines.  As for the "sox" line, that's
due to the app itself.  I would suggest upgrading or talking to the
sox people about it.  Maybe even use a different application.....

Got a question? http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

[OM2008.8 - testing] - no desktop icons any more.

Benedikt Schindler BeniSchindler at gmx.de
Wed Oct 22 08:53:39 CEST 2008

thanks for the tip.
but it's not the problem that they are not configured any more.
All the desktop files are there. But they don't show up on the screen.

I crashed the hole enlightment once. and enlightment gaves me a standard
so i had a normal standard desktop on the freerunner. (was funny, but
the keyboard just didn't work right anymore)
and there the icons where all in the menue at the places where they belong.

It didn't work by me. ... but it's not the high priority task. to see my
applications again is more important.

i thought of the groups like that:

unstable :  just compiling every day the latest git trees. (no mater
what's happening in there)
testing :  managed tree. where a human person puts in things that he
tested as functional version. (to see if it is realy functional)
stable : really tested tree.

but there seems to be no person who is responsible for the testing tree.
Because that person would have taken back the changes that really kills
that tree.
or would have taken down the hole tree !!!!

@openmoko: how is it possible that there is a tree still online after 6
days that is known for killing the phone?
(i mean it's a "no boot possible anymore" bug and not a "sudoku didn't
work anymore" bug ;) )

i think i will test the unstable feed now ... maybe there are some issue
solved yet ... and maybe there is the new kernel with faster nand read :)

i'll give you a hint if it changed something.

#848: BSD install does not boot with MBR
  Reporter:  gef_f          |      Owner:  kris
      Type:  System Defect  |     Status:  new
  Priority:  major          |  Milestone:
 Component:  Installer      |    Version:  10-STABLE
Resolution:                 |   Keywords:

Comment (by gef_f):

 I did a reinstall attempt to get accurate information. There are several
 differences to the information I gave in the previous posts.

 The partition is ada0s4.

 The first menu is following:
 F1 ?
 F2 Win
 F3 ?
 F4 FreeBSD

 There was only one question mark. In some other install attempt there has
 been 3. But that install may not be relevant to this PC-BSD 10 version.

 The behaviour differences. When selecting F4, the screen goes black for a
 couple of seconds and the computer restarts. When selecting F3, nothing
 happens. The screen remains in the first menu with the F(x) selections.
 Only the cursor line seems to change to the next one.

[plt-scheme] redefining set!

The macro define-instance receives both x and cl,
and can thus record that x is an instance of
the class cl.

   (define x (cl 5)

the macro call (cl 5) doesn't receive the x,
and thus can't record that x is a cl class.

No, not at runtime.

In def-class you need to record that cl is associated
with cl-> . There is a record example in

   Composable and Compilable Macros

that might be used for inspiration.
