Checking in, before going home, news is this: Judge ruled this morning that the eviction of Occupiers last night from Zuccotti Park was illegal.

 

Next:

They're going back now.

Violence = failure.

hello all

[Teh Phuzzy]

if you're going to spew, spew into this

[kevino]

i'm too busy spewing this actually

 

[Teh Phuzzy]

whats a ganglion?

[kevino]

collection of neurons outside of the cns

[kevino]

cns is the spinal cord there...then you can see the dorsal and ventral roots come together outside of the spinal cord and make the larger bulb there, then bifurcate into other pre and post ganglions

[Teh Phuzzy]

sounds as though they may be similar to multiplexers; a node where data transmissions are repackaged.

 

Are they only one way type things? sensory or muscle triggering? Are those two things separate within nervous system?

Edited April 27, 2012 by Teh Phuzzy

[kevino]

not sure if i've heard the term multiplexers, but there are plexuses, which are combinations of spinal nerves that serve various regions throughout the body. such as brachial plexus does the proximal limb, etc

 

they are both way, so they serve as centers for both afferent and efferent systems, as are most nervous pathways

Broke my L5 once, not much fun down there when that shit happens. Neuronal routing, organization and behavior is way, way more complex than what we do in high tech networks. If only fiber optics self-assembled...

 

Genetic analysis of synaptic target recognition and assembly

[kevino]

what part of the L5? spinous process? compression?

 

one good thing about breaking the L5 is the spinal cord is turing into the cauda equina, and there are no major nerves that are responsible for innervating organs (those end at L2). there are of course the basic spinal nerves, which are important too

Front part. Did an unleashed high tightrope dismount into the McKenzie river that inadvertently turned into a botched highbar-like dismount which shot me up against a cliff face above the level of the tightrope and then into the river. I ended up collapsing/folding feet-to-face too much after my belt in back snagged on a nubbin projecting from the cliff during my head-down, face-out plummet into the river at the base of the cliff. Separated a triangular piece of bone from the front-top of L5. Spent my fortieth birthday in Sacred Heart in Eugene pushing the drug button. Took about six months in a thoracic clamshell deal to heal up. Never bothered me since so I consider myself lucky in a few ways given the runaway lunacy of a day that I would deny involved any botanical, mycological, or aquavean influences or just being out-of-my-mind desperate to windsurf at the coast on a day it turned out to not be blowing.

[kevino]

well sounds like most peoples' 20s

 

tonights subject is way less cool - not. studying the best camera out there
