![]() The Ecto-1 also features quite a few stickers (all the various warning labels and rust spots are stickers), although it’s worth noting that the bricks with the Ghostbusters logo are all printed, as are some of the more basic gauges and control panels inside the car.Īs far as the building experience, the set is broken down into 12 numbered bags with one un-numbered bag. I must admit, this set makes me want to really see the new film! Among the features are moving instruments on the roof, a surprise release ghost trap, and a pop-out swiveling seat complete with proton pack!Īs for features fans may not be happy with, one is that you don’t get any minifigures with this set, unlike so many other models done in the Ultimate Collector Series style. This is because the vehicle is based on the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife film. Speaking of special features, the #10274 LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 comes with some functions that I have never seen in an Ecto-1 before. (You can read my review of the Batmobile via the link at the end of this post.) First of all, because these two vehicles are much larger than the typical LEGO Creator expert vehicles, they have plenty of room for some extra special features. Those who have built the #76139 LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile released last year will have some idea what to expect from the Ecto-1. Below, we will discuss the general features of the set, and then also discuss some of the interesting building techniques and play-features. This is reflected by the 18+ age category printed on the box, as well as the box art. So, when I heard LEGO was going to release a large version of the Ecto-1 and that I would get my hands on an early review copy, well let’s just say, this has been the hardest thing to keep under wraps.Īs you can read in the press-release that was published yesterday, the #10274 LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1, is made specifically for adult LEGO fans. I may have missed one of the LEGO Dimensions Ghostbusters sets, but I made sure to get at least all the major releases. ![]() You may have to select a menu option or click a button.I’ve been picking up nearly everything LEGO has made involving Ghostbusters.

It is crammed full of authentic features and easter eggs that I’m excited for builders to discover as they put this model together.” This is the largest and most detailed version of this car that we have ever created. LEGO designer Michael Psiaki noted how this version of the Ectomobile has been the most detailed yet, “I love creating LEGO vehicles, and having previously designed the LEGO James Bond Aston Martin DB5, I loved the challenge of working on the ECTO-1. LEGO has introduced two new LEGO brick elements with this set as well: a 6×14 curved windshield and a new five-module steering wheel.įinishing off the vehicle’s design is a tiny Ghostbusters logo emblazoned on the passenger and driver door. The car comes with a moving ghost sniffer, a working steering wheel, an extendable rear gunner seat and a plethora of other paranormal detection equipment on the roof rack. Most of the ECTO-1™ is decorated in red and white, complemented by tiny blue and yellow accents. ![]() ![]() ![]() The app is also extremely intuitive and easy to use, which is a big selling point. In terms of design, we thought the iXpand was one of the best - the unique curled “tail” on the Lightning connector end keeps the drive out of the way when it’s plugged into your phone or tablet. It costs almost the exact same price per storage model as the iXpand, but the advantage of the iDiskk is that it supports more video file formats. The iDiskk iPhone USB flash drive is also a related product that looks like a standard thumb drive with a Lightning connector on one end. Kingston is another trusted name in memory hardware, and their Bolt Duo is a slightly more expensive option that promises similar features. The iXpand isn’t the only USB stick with a Lightning connector. But it’s the additional iOS capabilities of the iXpand that make it more expensive. For a flash drive, these retail prices seem pretty high. It is also available in three other sizes: 32GB, 64GB, and 256GB, with prices ranging from $24.99 for the smallest, up to $75.99 for the largest. We tested the 128GB model of the SanDisk iXpand, which retails for $47.99. This is something to consider if you want to use the drive to watch videos on your phone or iPad. So while we were able to transfer it from the PC to the flash drive like any other media file, but we could not play it in the app once we connected the iXpand to our iOS device. M4V file (ironically developed by Apple as a form of DRM). ![]() It’s also important to note that the iXpand app only supports. That’s pretty slow compared to most USB 3.0 devices, but unless you’re backing up your entire mobile device for the first time, you’re unlikely to need super-fast speeds for most iOS file transfers.Įven if the transfer speeds leave something to be desired, we were still impressed and pleased with the app’s interface and ease of use. The Sandisk iXpand Drive app doesn’t reveal transfer speeds, but our testing determined that it has read and write speeds of around 12 MB/s - in practice, it took about 90 seconds to copy a 1.1-GB, 32-minute HD video file. After transferring a file, the app then asks if you’d like to delete the old one from your device to conserve space. When you do need to copy things over, it’s as easy as selecting individual files and hitting “copy,” or using “backup” to detect new files and copy everything. The app can also access your device’s camera, so you can save photos and videos directly to the flash drive without the need to copy anything over. What USB flash drive are you using?

![]() ![]() However, they are first and foremost Christian rock, so I would like the main reading of the article to just say "Relient K is a Christian rock band.", but in the box to the side it can say Christian rock and Christian Pop.- WatchHawk 02:26, 23 April 2006 (UTC) Now, the way I look at it, due to the style/sound of many of their songs, and with the pop-culture references and partial humor in nearly as many songs, a good subgenre for Relient K would be 'Christian Pop'. I did not mean to say that a band's genre was determined only by lyrics, but it is a big part of it. The name "pop/ punk" is insulting to a band who is primarily Christian rock, and "Christian punk" is in itself, a contrdiction in terms. Akrabbim 20:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)īefore I say anything, let me make perfectly clear that I'm not mad or hate you or anything, and I'm glad that you're hearing me out. I see no reason why their infobox shouldn't state both "Christian rock" and "pop punk". Sylistically, Relient K is pop punk, or Christian pop punk, whichever you prefer. Genre, by definition, is a measure of musical style. Characterizing genre solely by lyrical content would put Bach in the same genre as Joe Satriani, or Yellowcard with Everclear, while splitting Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek into multiple genres (as "For the Moments I Feel Faint" and "I'm Lion-O" are significantly different, lyrically). The Music genre article defines genre as a category of pieces of music that share a certain style or "basic musical language". The lyrics, of course, are what make Relient K Christian rock, but for the most part, genre is defined with musical style. As far as your definition of "genre" goes, I find it erroneous. The actual wording of the AMG article is "Christian punk", as they are not disregarding their Christian rock characteristics. The question is whether they participate in the pop punk genre, as well. I, for one, know of no reason why they wouldn't be. Besides, no one here is trying to argue against Relient K being Christian rock. Completely disregarding professional reviews because they don't agree with you is completely illogical. Also, just because a site like AMG classifies them as pop/punk, that doesn't mean that's what they are.- WatchHawk 19:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC) I don't mean this to sound harsh, and I don't want to get into an edit war here, but your argument seems overly POV. Obviously, Relient K's songs are Christianity-themed, so it's completely wrong to call them anything other than what they are, which is Christian rock. And just because the sounds of songs of theirs sound like the style of "pop/punk" and "Christian punk" songs does not mean that's what they are the genre of a song is based on their lyrics and what they mean. The same goes with Relient K doing opening shows for and touring with secular bands. If I went and sat through an evolutionary teaching, that does not make me an evolutionist or change my faith. As Christians, our job is to get out of our little comfort zones and meet/talk/fellowship/share with all peoples of all types. I'm going to sound like a preacher here, but this is the only way to explain it. Akrabbim 17:28, 24 March 2006 (UTC) Just because Relient K did opening shows for secular bands does not make them secular. Also, being chosen for the opening act for bands like Good Charlotte and Rufio should speak for itself. ![]() ![]() As they slowly moved more mainstream, their style has become characteristically pop punk (see article). ![]() Check out the styles on the Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek and Two Lefts reviews.- thegreentrilby 17:11, 17 March 2006 (UTC) For most of their existence they have been primarily Christian Rock, but they have always had an element of punk in thier style (esp. Please stop changing their Genre into something that it isn't unless you link me to an interview/article/discussion in which they clearly state their Genre as anything other than Christian rock.- WatchHawk 07:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC) Well, AMG classifies them as "punk-pop"-or, as it's more commonly called, pop punk. They are Christians, their lyrics are Christianity themed and usually are in direct communication/prayer to God. Relient K is not "CCM," "Christian punk," or "pop/punk." Relient K is and always has been Christian rock. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This coupled with a proprietary anti-shock device virtually eliminates all mechanical vibration and hand-held noise An integrated windscreen/pop filter is placed outside the grill, effectively filtering out peak noises.

The cardioid polar pattern suppresses feedback and isolates the desired sound. It has a smooth and wide frequency response, and the pickup is clear and delicate. DEFINITELY CONSULT AN EXPERT before replacing fuses with a larger size! Ken Stewart, Easley Electric Inc.As a dynamic microphone, the MV-3 is especially suited for broadcasting, webcasting and recording. In other words, it can be even more dangerous to upsize fuses because of age and wear. If you have them, chances are that your wiring is older, with insulation that is not as heat resistant, and you have more likelihood of deteriorated wire terminations, etc. In the case of a fuse that keeps blowing, it’s even more important NOT to just replace with a larger one! But it pays to ask an expert on this first. This is something allowed by the National Electrical Code and most inspection authorities. Sometimes, it may be OK to increase the size of a breaker to allow for motor load startups (e.g., air conditioners). It may even be necessary to add dedicated circuits for large loads, such as space heaters of 1500 watts or more, which could otherwise load a single circuit down. If it’s overload, it is best to install adequate number and size circuits to handle the increased loads. If it’s faulty equipment, that should be eliminated. If the cause is a short circuit, that needs to be repaired. It’s better to eliminate the problem than to override the protection.Thus, going from a 20-amp breaker to a 30- accomplishes nothing. Now, you should be able to see the hand of the tool responding to the sound of your voice or instrument.

Sociolinguistics as a discipline developed through extensive work by English-speaking linguists in the late 1960s, so it is appropriate to start with a definition of sociolinguistics from Crystal (1985/2008: 440-441): sociolinguistics (n.) A branch of linguistics which studies all aspects of the relationship between language and society. "I believe the main reason for this disparity is that foreign languages are treated by our public education system as less important than math, science, and English. Yet, despite these calls for action, we have fallen further behind the rest of the world in preparing our students to communicate effectively in languages other than English. policymakers, business leaders, educators, and research organizations have decried our students’ lack of foreign language skills and called for better language instruction. According to language research consultant Ingrid Pufahl, "For decades, U.S. One must conclude that, far from being exceptional, as many lay people believe, bilingualism/multilingualism-which, of course, goes hand in hand with multiculturalism in many cases-is currently the rule throughout the world and will become increasingly so in the future."įoreign Language Instruction in the U.S. Considering only bilingualism involving English, the statistics that Crystal has gathered indicate that, of the approximately 570 million people worldwide who speak English, over 41 percent or 235 million are bilingual in English and some other language. ![]() In fact, David Crystal (1997) estimates that two-thirds of the world's children grow up in a bilingual environment. To begin with, the world's estimated 5,000 languages are spoken in the world's 200 sovereign states (or 25 languages per state), so that communication among the citizens of many of the world's countries clearly requires extensive bi- (if not multi-)lingualism. In Chapter 2, sociolinguistic issues are explored more broadly.According to "The Handbook of Bilingualism," "Bilingualism-more generally, multilingualism-is a major fact of life in the world today. In this chapter we will see how variationist sociolinguistics has analyzed the interplay between language variation, the development of linguistic systems, and the social meaning of language. We call it variationist sociolinguistics because it’s concerned with the variable nature of language in use. We call it sociolinguistics because both social and linguistic (e.g., grammatical, structural, articulatory) factors, are equally important sociolinguistics, unlike many formal approaches to language, does not focus on an idealized grammar (sometimes called ‘competence’) but rather analyzes language in use (sometimes called ‘performance’). ![]() Variationist sociolinguistics is a methodological and analytical approach to understanding the relationship between language and its context of use. ![]() Why do some Canadian English speakers say eh at the end of their sentences while others opt for right? In what contexts is one person more likely to say eh or more likely to say right? What kinds of information about someone can we glean if we hear them say eh? Or right? Or even innit? Have these patterns changed over time? These are variationist sociolinguistic questions. In its broadest conception, sociolinguistics analyzes the many and diverse ways in which. A person who can speak multiple languages is known as a polyglot or a multilingual. Contrast with monolingualism, the ability to use only one language. Sociolinguistics has become a recognised part of most courses at university level on ‘linguistics’ or ‘language’, and is indeed one of the main growth points in the study of language, from the point of view of both. We use language to navigate expectations, to engage in interpersonal interaction, and to go along with or to speak out against social structures and systems.Sociolinguistics aims to study the effects of language use within and upon societies and the reciprocal effects of social organization and social contexts on language use. Multilingualism is the ability of an individual speaker or a community of speakers to communicate effectively in three or more languages. Chapter 10: Language Variation and Changeġ0.1 What is variationist sociolinguistics? Sociolinguistics is the study of how language serves and is shaped by the social nature of human beings. We can define sociolinguistics as the study of language in relation to society, and this is how we shall be taking the term in this book. ![]() |
