Friendship is Autism
Seriously it's getting to be too much.
You know, at first, it seemed pretty interesting. a parody of all the general mainstream fanmade stuff that comes through here, poking fun at artists and creators, and writers who make fan videos and such, even though there is already an obscene amount of very similair material already out there. and then, we got to the meat of the matter. the "I have Aspurgers and look at my sonic fan fic" guy. that just..... I mean..... wow. I'd lie and tell you it was hilarious, only I actually do have Aspergers. Thanks for parodying my legitimate mental issue, asshole.
"My Little Sky Craft" is an amalgamation of everything that has debuted over the past half year. Well, maybe not, but it covers a wide arc. Being that the collection sections devoted to each one must have reached the "Abyssal" stage, I suppose it's fine to complain about the sheer pervasiveness of cartoons about Skyrim, My Little Pony, Minecraft, or Sonic. Just to be fair, I would tack on Stick Figures, Madness, and anything that belongs in Dumping Grounds to prevent strings of crap submissions flung the Portal's way. Okay? These aren't THAT great, or warrant such exposure. So, Croire decided to deal a low blow against all four. I just wish he was aiming better; you'd think fish in a barrel would be easier to shoot.
This cartoon examines the daily effort pulled into tributes and parodies of Skyrim, Minecraft, My Little Pony, and Sonic, and then postulates when we're ever going to see original content. Sounds like a viable piece of propaganda, an appropriate kick-in-the-head for authors to reconsider the excess of parodies and tributes and just try something different for a change. Now, "My Little Sky Craft" captivated my nods and laughs at first, but then it completely lost me when it made a paltry snipe at autism; it insinuates "that crowd" is responsible, or is an unadulterated major contributor.
Of course, non-participation from disgruntled viewers is responsible. Not bothering to submit original material or have the brains to vote for something different come monthly voting time is what causes these cartoons to get such exposure. It has always been this way because Newgrounds enjoys a good parody, and parodies are under fair use as well. It's safe to pick on popular media and it gets you fives in the process.
It's also safe to complain about minorities and developmental disabilities, because they don't have the capability to fight back. That's right: it is easier to judge by the number of developmental disorders one has than by the content of their soul and character. If you are considered autistic, then that puts you in the lowest bracket in terms of the Newgrounds creative community, alongside crews and stick movies. And there's little you can say about it, because now you're just part of the problem--it's very source, in fact--so the only place you have if you ever come around here is to go right back the way you came, only you have to ride in the back of the short bus.
This cartoon is too much.
Let's be honest: this is just a whiny protest soapbox. Also, I'm surprised nobody blew the whistle for administrative review for being hate-driven or stereotyping, which is something that can be done, see. It's too bad, since everything else is pretty good. There are no glaring technical issues or pacing problems. It's short, sweet, direct, poignant, and almost thought-provoking. So, if Croire stepped back and considered whether or not he was stepping on a specific group's shoes, I might be more inclined to embrace the general supposition that these cartoons based on niche media should be reeled in and set aside for something a little more original. I would not object.
Instead, he fired at people with Asperger's Syndrome like they're responsible, so I say, "Fuck this, submit whatever the fuck you want!" Remember: this is Newgrounds, "Everything by Everyone."
Hey there friend,
I don't suggest that people with Aspergers syndrome are responsible for all of this, I merely imply that everyone that plays minecraft is an aspie. No offense but an internet cartoon shouldn't effect you as much as this review seems to reveal. i'm sorry you're so sensitive buddy
Funny 'n clever, but really short (don't worry the length isn't affecting the rating) Funny subject and the animation was a bit cheesy, but it added to the comic value of the vid. the voices were good though a lil quite, (not affecting the rating either cause you could always up the sound and re-upload it) I lawd
sadly this is newgrounds right now.
at least its true

90 seconds at 9 am: Markets expecting OCR hikes; Dairy prices rise, especially cheese and butter; IMF raises growth forecasts; more Fed tapering due; NZ$1 = US$0.831 TWI = 78.9
Here's my summary of the key news overnight in 90 seconds at 9 am, including news of rising dairy prices
Yesterday's December inflation data has reset expectations about interest rate movements in early 2014.
While the CPI data itself was not a big mover, it was higher than expected and the details have convinced markets that the RBNZ foreshadowed rises of about 1.25 over all of 2014 will actually occur and start quite soon.
Swap rates reacted almost immediately. They start today even flatter that they have been with one to three year rates up 6 or 7 bps and four and five year rates up 3 or 4 bps.
ANZ is calling for an OCR hike next Thursday. They join HSBC. Others remain more cautious but see it as a realistic possibility.
While we are not expecting any immediate term deposit or mortgage rate action before then, a bit bizarrely perhaps, this morning Westpac cut 10 bps off its one year fixed mortgage rate for high equity home loans.
Overnight the globaldairytrade auction results were out, cementing in a gain of 1.4% from the previous event. In NZ$, this gain was 1.1%. It's the highest this index has been since April 2013. The really big gainers were for butter and cheese which each rose +10% in two weeks, areas Fonterra is strong in. Milk powders were basically unchanged.
Internationally, the IMF has raised its growth forecast for 2014, just the latest of these types of organisations to do so.

In late trade in New York, equities are holding the near-record levels, oil is up (both WTI and Brent), and gold is lower. Markets are now expecting more Fed tapering.
The NZ dollar starts today up on the RBNZ rate hike expectations at 83.1 USc, 94.3 AUc and the TWI is at 78.9.

Keira Knightley battled pleurisy without knowing
Actress Keira Knightley was struck down with pleurisy last year after her hectic work schedule made her ill.
The actress thought she had injured her ribs while rehearsing for a show and battled through the pain, only to find out weeks later she had caught the agonizing lung infection.
She tells Harper's Bazaar magazine, "You do period films and you get some sort of weird archaic disease. And I didn't realize, so I went on for another month. I just stupidly never went to a doctor.
"I was rehearsing for this play and then I found in rehearsals it got so bad that I couldn't stand up any more. And they said, 'Please, can you go to the doctor?'"
Keira Knightley opens up about 2007 hiatus
Actress Keira Knightley has opened up about her decision to take a hiatus after filming "The Duchess" in 2007, revealing she reached a breaking point with the paparazzi and needed to step back from the spotlight to protect her image.
The 27-year-old's popularity surged after taking on a leading role in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, and she was constantly followed by snappers, who turned her private life into a living hell.
Knightley reveals she grew so tired of the press watching her every move, she packed a suitcase and went on a railway tour across Europe for nine months.
She tells Allure magazine, "There was a time when the price of photographs were going up for (famous) women in any state of undress or mental turmoil or anything. The men who get paid for taking these pictures were getting incredibly hostile – nearly violent – and we're talking about packs of about 20 of them, shouting at me, spitting at me, trying to pick fights with every guy you're out with, in order to produce a picture and get a lot of money.
"And it was getting particularly nasty. The price of everybody's head was going up. Some people went the legal route. And I ran … I'd hit a wall and needed to step back in order to learn the things I needed to learn."
And the actress insists she enjoyed her time away from the spotlight: "(I) looked out of windows. Read a lot of books."
Anorexia rumors hurt Keira Knightley's self-confidence
Actress Keira Knightley suffered a serious knock to her self-confidence during the early years of her career after she was dogged by persistent allegations she suffered from anorexia.
The beauty, who stars in the upcoming film "Anna Karenina," is known for her slender frame, but her looks once prompted speculation she was battling an eating disorder – and although Knightley was sure she didn't have food issues, she soon started to wonder what was wrong with her body as the rumors refused to go away.
She tells Allure magazine, "I knew I wasn't anorexic. But maybe my body is somehow not right. Or my face is not right. Or the way I speak is not right.
"When you're going through a period where you're really getting a lot of criticism, you go, 'Maybe all this is right!' You just kind of want to hide it all."
However, the British star has since learned to embrace her slim figure both onscreen and off, and she insists she has no problems stripping off for the right movie role – but it will only be her breasts on show.
She says, "I'm quite rigorous about what gets exposed. No bottom half! I don't mind exposing my t— because they're so small – people really aren't that interested!"
Keira Knightley has no issues with nudity
Keira Knightley has no qualms about stripping off on screen because she is "not prudish when it comes to nudity."
The British actress has taken her clothes off on camera for films including "The Duchess" and "The Edge of Love" and she insists she is not embarrassed to go nude for a role.
She tells British newspaper The Mirror, "I'm not prudish when it comes to nudity. If the role calls for nudity, then I'm going to be naked. I'm not afraid to expose myself that way."
However, Knightley, who is engaged to Klaxons rocker James Righton, is adamant she finds love more difficult to fake than passion.
She adds, "I'm much more worried about revealing personal sides to myself, which I find harder to do. The hardest thing to capture about love is the actual physical intimacy between two people.
"The way two people behave when they are next to each other and touching each other, holding hands, resting your head on your partner's shoulder. In your personal life, you generally don't think about the fact you're touching your partner. That's a difficult thing to capture on film."
Keira Knightley pitied Jude Law after 'Anna Karenina' transformation
Keira Knightley felt sorry for Jude Law after he was made to wear an unflattering wig for their period drama "Anna Karenina," calling his transformation "the worst."
The actor was fitted with a hairpiece to make him appear bald for his role as statesman Alexei Karenin, who is 20 years older than his socialite wife, Anna, played by Knightley.
She reveals Law wore a hat away from the set to avoid embarrassment, but insists he looked as handsome as ever when he stepped out of his unbecoming costume.
Knightley tells Harper's Bazaar magazine, "No wonder he kept that hat on. (The make-up and wig) were the worst. Poor [bleep]. I'd get to the end of the day, take my make-up and wig off, and I'd look [bleep]. He'd take the make-up and wig off and look [bleep] brilliant. And everyone would say, 'Oh yeah! Good-looking man underneath!'"
Keira Knightley open to collaborating with fiance
Actress Keira Knightley refuses to rule out collaborating with her rocker fiance James Righton, insisting it would be "lovely" to work together.
The British beauty admits she would be willing to team up with the Klaxons star after being inspired by Steve Carell, who worked happily with his actress wife Nancy on their apocalypse movie "Seeking A Friend For The End of the World."
Knightley says, "I've never worked with a significant other but I should imagine it would be lovely. When you get together I don't see why you shouldn't get on when you are working together."
But despite preparing to marry a singer and keyboardist, Knightley insists she has never been a huge music fan.
She adds, "It's weird because a lot of my close friends and relatives are totally obsessed by music and even though I'm not, I've always, for some reason, been attracted to people who are."
Keira Knightley blames body anxiety on career
Keira Knightley is convinced her movie career is to blame for her body image battle, insisting "seeing your flaws on the screen" fuels her anxiety.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star, who was dogged by untrue rumors she suffered from an eating disorder early in her career, admits she has learned to accept her shape, but still dreads seeing herself in films.
She tells Vogue magazine, "It's the superficial thing of seeing your flaws on the screen. That's probably going to be all that you see and you focus on the bits you don't particularly like.
"But I've had to get over my own body anxiety issues so it doesn't get in the way of telling the story. I've never seen myself as being attractive in that glamorous way.
"I'm incredibly self-conscious about a lot of parts of it but, equally, I'm aware that it works in certain environments. If you are using your face, if you're selling it then you become so aware of the flaws because people tell you. And they do so brusquely. So then you start seeing it. I'm not saying that I look in the mirror all the time and go, 'Oh good. You look good today,' or 'You look rubbish today.'"
And she admits that even in her personal life she worries about how her body will be perceived.
Knightley adds, "I was on the beach the other day in France on holiday with some friends and we were all lying out. They were all totally fine taking everything off and I was sitting around in my jeans and a top. I kind of didn't want to take anything off."
Keira Knightley moves in with boyfriend?
Keira Knightley has stepped up her romance with her musician boyfriend James Righton by moving him into her London home, according to a U.K. report.
The actress, 26, has been dating the Klaxons rocker since early last year, following her split from her partner of five years, "Pride & Prejudice" co-star Rupert Friend.
Righton has now moved into Knightley's house in east London and they are considering getting a puppy together, reports to Britain's Mail on Sunday.
A source tells the publication, "Keira suggested the idea and he moved his stuff in a couple of weeks ago. They want to get a puppy. It's all pretty serious."
Keira Knightley practiced sex faces and showed director on Skype
British actress Keira Knightley was so determined to nail her role in racy drama "A Dangerous Method" she practiced her sex faces in a mirror for two days before showing them to the film's director over Skype.
The actress star plays young Russian mental patient Sabina Spielrein in the movie, opposite Michael Fassbender, who stars as famed psychiatrist Carl Jung.
Knightley's character is seen being violently spanked, and the actress was so concerned about the scenes, she tried out her sex faces on director David Cronenberg first using the internet videophone service.
She tells Britain's The Sun, "It was a huge part of what Sabina was doing a lot of the time. So I asked psychoanalysts about it and they said, 'Sex and anything like that is trying to release energy, trying to release pent-up emotion.'
"So I worked with that and sat in my bathroom and pulled faces at myself for about two days, trying to figure out what it was going to be.
"Then I got on Skype with David and went, 'I've come up with this,' or, 'I've come up with this,' and he went, 'That one!'"
National Board of Review Awards gala
George Clooney and girlfriend Stacy Keibler walked the red carpet at the National Board of Review Awards gala on Tuesday night in New York City at Cipriani 42nd Street. Clooney was on hand to accept the best actor prize for his work in "The Descendents," a film that was awarded best support actress for Shailene Woodley and best adapted screenplay. Other stars on hand at the event included Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and castmembers from "The Help."

Local 6 Vice President and General Manager Skip Valet discusses how Orange County's potential new grading system can hurt students in the long run.
Orange County Schools is considering a "no zero" policy for testing students. Other school systems have adopted this idea. The lowest possible grade you could earn would be a fifty, certainly putting the student closer to a passing grade than starting at Zero. A principal says parents appreciate the policy because it "helps" students. Some parents say it's better for their children's self esteem. Seriously? There ARE many hard life lessons we should protect children from, BUT, WKMG Local 6 doesn't believe failing grades make that list. Students need to learn how to study and how to prepare, and ultimately how to take responsibility for their successes and their failures. Let's keep our conversations going.

President Barack Obama will make his way into Warrensburg on Wednesday. He's expected to talk about the economy and measures he said will step up the recovery.
Obama will deliver his speech at the University of Central Missouri.
The university stood out because of its Innovation Campus. It's a new program that connects students with opportunities that allow them to be more competitive once they enter the job force. For example, it gets them paid internships in high-tech fields at companies like Cerner and HoneyWell.
Educators say reshaping education could be the key to rebuilding the economy.
The University of Central Missouri is putting its best face forward while awaiting the president, showing it's capable of growth.
"There's a really specific reason why he's coming to the University of Central Missouri," said UCM President Dr. Chuck Ambrose.
The reason is Missouri Innovation Campus, or MIC. Obama will talk to a full crowd there about new ways to boost the economy, starting with education.
"It's a great platform for him to paint the picture of what the future can look like as we reshape education here in Missouri," Ambrose said.
MIC is a collaboration between UCM, the Lee's Summit School District, Metropolitan Community College and numerous business partners.
Students in the program graduate with a bachelor's degree in two years.
"It cuts the time in college in half," Ambrose said.
By the time students graduate, they are workplace-ready. The program gives students on-the-job experience through internships in high-tech and high-paying industries.
"And these are emerging fields. It's information technology, applied engineering, healthcare. It's the high-demand, high-skill types of jobs that obviously the president is going to come here and say are required to move the economy forward," Ambrose said.
The internships are paid, so the students graduate with less debt, which is one of the university's biggest goals.
"We don't have a choice, because college is an expensive investment. Parents and students are sacrificing a lot of energy and financial resources to pay for college. If that degree does not put you, as a college graduate, into a position of being competitive, the drain on the economy will be substantial," Ambrose said.
The hope is that by reshaping education, we will see a growth in the economy.
About 2,500 people will pack into the Student Recreation Center on campus. It's standing room only, and the tickets to see Obama speak in person have all been given out. But there will be two rooms in the Elliot Union live streaming the speech to anyone else who wants to watch.
KCTV5 will also livestream the president's arrival, speech and departure on KCTV5.com.

Tomorrow, cloud cover and passing storms look possible again. Highs in the 80s. severe weather looks unlikely, but the strongest storms may pulse severe with the main threats being high wind and hail

Mr. Carpeneter should be commended for his generous offer.
However, unanimity has no place in politics, which by nature involves dissent and debate.
True enough, in a perfect world, we can use this disagreement to enhance our own points of view and not engage in any personally destructive behavior.
But I'd take the petty and vindictive behavior that unfortunately usually comes along eith disagreement any day over unanimity. That is, unless one expects only resolutions supporting mom and apple pie.
For this reason, unanimity is even more deadly for the "important" issues.

"unanimity is even more deadly for the "important" issues."
In my nine years as a Director of the MPFPD we NEVER decided an important issue on a split vote. This was accomplished by working very hard to understand each other's perspectives and then finding the best solution for the citizens whom we served.

NATIMUK's Goat Gallery will host the work of former Natimuk artist Greg Pritchard in a new exhibition.
Natimuk Small Towns Transformation project manager Carloynne Hamdorf said Pritchard originally moved to the Wimmera as a result of his love of rock climbing.
But Ms Hamdorf said Pritchard was not always enamoured with art.
"He used to be a staunch arts-hater and he's done a full 180, he's now a professional practising artist in his own right," she said.
"Since his involvement with the Nati Frinj he really has developed using art as a tool or mechanism to prompt ideas and push people to consider things in different ways – ideas are his catalyst."
Ms Hamdorf said the exhibition would take the form of a complex installation with digital effects and a short performance.
"He uses shadow and light quite a lot," she said.
A former Horsham Rural City Council cultural development officer, Pritchard is back in the Wimmera to work on the 'Framing the Wimmera' for the council.
The opening of Pritchard's Omnia Vanitas exhibition was at the Goat Gallery, Natimuk, on Saturday.
The exhibition is open on Saturday and Sunday between 1pm and 4pm.

So one day, there was this magazine coming out in Norway, called Manga Mania and I thought, this looks interesting! Which was rather odd when I usually only bought Donald Duck... I think it was 2001 and I was around 12, that's where it started, the magazine featured series as Love Hina, Chobits, Blade of the Immortal and other cool stuff and I was completely breathtaken by the insane action and unique humour.
Being that I spent a lot of time surfing files on crappy filesharing programs as LimeWire and BearShare I quickly discovered fansubs and it didn't take long before I was watching animes as Love Hina and a later Naruto. Today I've watched a ton of anime, and some may call it a giant waste of time, but I cant think of many things I'd rather be doing.
I'll probably still have the same love for anime 10 years from now :D

Publisher Comments:
Every unique photograph begins with an original point of view
The first book in a brand-new photographic series—shot mostly by amateurs—about seeing the world from a brand-new perspective!
Amateurs, by definition, work for love alone—so what subject could be more fitting for the first entry in a brand-new series focusing on the art of the amateur photographer than that potent symbol of love: the heart? Through their snapshot-hungry eyes, these photographers glimpse hearts everywhere: in graffiti scrawled on an alleyway wall, in paper cut by a child, and in natures worn stones scattered on a forest floor. All thats necessary is to open our eyes which is what this collection inspires us to do.
The first book in a photographic series, "Focus: Love" showcases the art of the amateur photographer. Featuring images of hearts, these photographs show hearts everywhere: in graffiti, in paper cutouts, and in nature's worn stones. Full color.

Inside, Stephen's little brother, Luca (Jacob Kogan) appears at the top of the staircase (i.e. the second floor, and I know I already went there in the recaplet; I'm a weak woman). "You slept with Mrs. D'Amico?" Stephen insists it was an accident, but Luca's all, "Dude, she is totally hot." I think it's 'cause I'm clumsy. I try not to talk too loud...
After Mama Marla chases Luca back upstairs, she tries to talk to Stephen, but he doesn't even remember getting out of bed. He promises it won't happen again, even though his track record at keeping such promises leaves much to be desired. He also promises to talk to Dr. Bloom. Mom frets about how they've been to half the specialists in the city and the other half won't take their insurance. "Now Dr. Bloom is telling me that..." She looks up at her son's frightened face and changes course. "It doesn't matter. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...." Stephen realizes his mom has been taking extra shifts to pay for his shrink. Mom tells him she can handle the extra work. It's the situation that's driving her crazy. Stephen's voice is defeated as he notes that runs in the family.
Upstairs in his bathroom, we get another shot of the huge Vaseline jar, while Stephen grabs his pills and a bottle of laxatives. Smirking, he pours the laxatives into an empty prescription pill bottle. I feel like Veronica Mars is smiling and she doesn't even know why.
School. When Luca and Stephen part ways at the door, Stephen is approached by his friend, Astrid (Madeleine Mantock) who jokes about him not making eye contact, or else he'll risk getting shivved. She scolds him for ignoring her texts the previous night, until he explains he was "sleep walking" again. Astrid seems amused to realize that the "Mysterious hottie in his head," is back, but then shows concern as she asks if he's still taking his meds. Stephen says he is, but suggests that perhaps an ice pick lobotomy would work better. "...Or maybe I should just save everyone the trouble and check myself into the loony bin." Astrid asks to see his pills. "I just want to see if being a raging dick is a side-effect." That was uncalled for. I'm not sure why Stephen is the one left feeling chagrinned. This is the problem with letting people in. They come in and act like the own the place. Sorry. I subscribed to those particular issues. I shouldn't foist them off on you lovely people.

MUMBAI: A month has passed since the National Spot Exchange (NSEL) scandal stunned the market and left thousands of wealthy investors fuming. Now, the case that was initially perceived as a white-collar crime, is slowly taking on far darker hues.
SGS, the Swiss firm hired by the bourse at the behest of the commodity market regulator Forward Markets Commission (FMC), has discovered that stocks in the 20-odd warehouses it has inspected so far are less than 20% of the declared amount against which financing took place through NSEL.

Price effects of an emissions trading scheme in New Zealand
AbstractImplementation of a New Zealand Emission Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) will begin in 2008, beginning with forestry, subsequently including energy and industrial emissions, and finally, agricultural GHGs from 2013. Reducing agricultural emissions is a major challenge for New Zealand as they account for over half its total GHG emissions. On the other hand, agriculture is critical to the economy, with its basic and processed products accounting for a third of exports. We use an environmental input-output model to analyse direct and indirect cost impacts of emissions pricing on food and fibre sectors. At NZ $25/t CO₂-eq, costs of energy-related emissions on the food and fibre sectors are very small; however, costs of agricultural emissions post 2013 would substantially impact on sheep, beef and dairy farming. Costeffective mitigation measures and land use changes should help reduce micro- and macroeconomic impacts, but the latter may also risk 'emissions leakage'.

This is a really good spot to grab a beer and a meal. There is a smallish granite top bar. As you sit at the bar, the dinning area is behind you. I came for lunch, and a lot of people were already eating and drinking by about 11:30. Though it was not over crowded, just busy. The feel is a bit more upscale, but not pretentious at all. Very nice decor, and relaxed.
The service was really good. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was friendly, quick, and knowledgeable. You can't ask for much more than that. My lunch was excellent. I had a pulled short-rib sandwich that I loved. Lots of other stuff on the menu. Burgers, brisket, steaks, brunch, and several lunch specials.
On to the beer. Plenty of high quality taps. I did not count, but well over 20. A good selection in bottles as well. Except for a few European macros, everything is a US micro. Nothing from BMC, or any of their pseudo craft options. A handful of Texas micros from Saint Arnold and Real Ale. Several options from North Coast, Stone, Victory, and Anchor among several others. They had a tap of Bear Republic Apex which is something you won't find many places. The quality of everything seemed fresh and clean.
Overall, this place is not trying to get the most taps, or the rarest beers available. They just have a bunch of high quality beers, great food, and a relaxed atmosphere. That is hard to beat.

My group had lemonade, burgers, pulled pork sliders, fries and a salad. The high points were the fries and salad. The rest we didn't finish. Yuck...
The beer selection was great but Clown Lounge #009 was served in a tiny little fluted 4-5 oz. glass that hides the aroma instead of a snifter. And, it was served at the perfect temperature so I could enjoy it right away.

Hi guys,I passed my mod 1 today (Yay!) and got my Mod 2 booked in for 2 weeks time (which is a bit of a shame as I dont have access to a bike until then!). I wondered if there was somewhere i could find the routes they use over in Tolworth? I was hoping to go and drive them in a car just to check out anything that might need extra thought!Hope I pass, I've got my eye on an SV650s!

with or without an instructor (125 test?)If you have an instructor / school, they'll know the likely test routes and any hiccups you'll encounter - and you'll be able to hire their bike as well (thus it'll be suitable for the test and you'll have no wrangling with insurance etc).If you don't have an instructor, it'd be a good idea to get one.DSA used to publish test routes on their website, but I think thats changed now.

Mix of side roads north of the high street, watch out for the 20mph limits & narrow roads where you can either be too hesitant or too forceful (depends on testers view), and a blat down the A3, where you must get up to traffic speed (40, then 50) and make progress.

Hi Schnell
Hook roundabout where it meets the A3 and the Tolworth roundabout again where it meets the A3. Thames Ditton roundabout where Station Rd/Speer Rd/Western Green Lane and Embercourt Rd all converge.
Scilly Isles roundabout where Portsmouth Rd/Hampton Court Way and Kingston Bypass converge.
Cox Lane meets Oakcroft Rd (keep out of the Busses Only Lane)
Tolworth Rise North (Its a 30mph)
Hunters Road left turn into Hook Rd. Ewell Rd bus lanes (some are from 7am-10am then 4pm-7-pm then some of them are 7am-7pm)
Ewell Road, some of it is 20mph and most of it is 30mph
Now they are just some of the junctions at Tolworth where some students struggle and do from time to time fail their tests or knock up a few minor faults.
Right now you know where the junctions are, but you dont know what things to look out for at these places. For me to sit and write them all down would take from now to doomsday. So why dont you do as has been suggested on here and go and get help from an Instructor who knows the area extremely well.
Yep I will be with an Instructor on a 600. I wont be seeing my instructor again until my test day (I wont be on a bike until then either, which is a bit of a worry), so I thought I'd go and have a look around between now and then, taking note of anything I think I should take note of (like the things mentioned). Thanks for the info shuggie & Jim, a definite help. I know the area a little, but seldom travel through there. I've been pretty happy with my bike school so far and I guess we'll probably ride around there in the morning anyway before my test in the afternoon. Looks like a good group of people on here, I'd like to get in on some group rides for some experience, assuming I pass!!
Just out of interest did you take your Mod 1 at Croydon Test Centre just off Mitcham Road is the XJ6 you were riding the ABS version.
Lol that was me yeah! Is this another one of those times when the internet is made out to be huge, but really its a small world?
Its just that if you took your training in SW19 then the shop can put you in touch with a company that will hire you a 125cc. I think that it is called About Town and they are in Wandsworth.
I appreciate that it is not an XJ600, but you can still keep your hand in until your Test.
Nick mentioned them (someone) I think... good plan that one. Will check them out

YORK—The stifling heat of the past few days will continue today and will near record highs. High temperatures and oppressive humidity are making for some uncomfortable and downright dangerous conditions.
The sun has risen just a few minutes ago so let the baking begin. This sign along Route 30 in York already reading 80 degrees. This will be a treat compared to the expected highs of 99 or 100 degrees forecasted for this afternoon. Most of the nation, suffering along with us, entrenched in one of the worst heat spells since the 1950's.
Kids in Lancaster County looked for anyway possible to cool down. The fountains at Binn's Park in Lancaster made for some welcome relief. The heat is gripping the country from Texas to the East Coast.
The extreme heat is being blamed for at least 22 deaths nationwide and more are expected as the heat continues here in the northeast until Sunday. The humidity is also playing a major role in these conditions. Heat indexes, which combine humidity and temperature to tell you how the air feels, reached over a 130 in Iowa. That extreme heat is causing a strain on power grids, buckling roads and of course, putting people's health at risk.
"Look out for children and seniors to make sure that they drink plenty of fluids and stay out of super-hot environments," said Dr. Mark Melrose, an urgent care specialist.
A couple of reminders when dealing with the high temps, avoid the outdoors at the hottest part of the day generally between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Drink plenty of fluids. Even if you aren't thirsty, drink. By the time you get thirsty, you could already be hydrated and finally wear light colored, cotton clothes. Cotton soaks in the sweat and that moisture keeps you cool.
It's been so hot and humid across the country, there have been hundreds of records set. On Monday alone, 288 places set records for the minimum high temperature. In many places, those overnight lows didn't drop out of the 80's.
If you are looking for cool thoughts, think of this. On this day in 1983, we saw the world record low temperature in Antarctica, a whopping negative 129 degrees below zero.

Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
In fact, we were never fond of eggplants until we started to grow these diverse varieties at home. Once we saw how beautiful and delicious eggplants can be in the garden and kitchen, we were hooked!
That lovely large eggplant above, for instance, is the famous Italian heirloom 'Rosa Bianca.' It never turns bitter and is delightful for cooking. The small, striped 'Calliope' on the side is an Asian style eggplant, which is delightful stuffed or grilled with herbs. And that green speckled round thing is actually a squash called 'Ronde de Nice,' but that's another story.
Some other favorite eggplants we've grown include the darling, purple striped 'Fairy Tale'shown at the bottom of the photo. This hybrid plant grows less than 3 feet tall and is ideal for containers. The prolific 'Fairy Tale' produces many small lavender eggplants in about 50 days after transplanting.
'Little Fingers' is the hybrid eggplant you see nestled between that yellow banana pepper and 'Patison Golden Marbre Scallop' squash. The very dark violet-black eggplants come 65 days after transplanting, and are moist and succulent – never bitter. Incidentally, I've grown both 'Fairy Tale' and 'Little Fingers' in large containers with much success, making them ideal for small or urban gardens.
Eggplants are related to tomatoes and peppers, so they like the same growing conditions. These warm-season plants thrive in rich, well amended garden soil in a full sun location. Always wait until after the first frost date of the year, before you plant cold-sensitive eggplants.
Feed eggplants with the same type of fertilizers as you would tomatoes, so they get the right nutrients. Often the plants will grow tall at maturity so you'll need to add a stake to prop up the plants.
Just as with tomatoes, you'll want to start eggplant seeds indoors about eight to ten weeks prior to your last frost date. Then you'll need to slowly acclimatize your eggplants to the outdoor temperatures over a week or so.
Want something easier? Buy transplants from your local gardening center and grow eggplants that way. You may not have the largest selection, but sometimes you luck out.
This six-pack is the Japanese eggplant 'Millionaire'. The hybrid has narrow black eggplants that grow 5 to 8 inches long, without seeds. The eggplants ripen only 58 days after transplanting. Said to be "the highest quality variety of Japanese eggplants," the plant label claims they are great grilled, stir fried, pickled, in eggplant parmesan and more. Hearing all those attributes, we were hooked and the hybrid found a place in our garden this summer.
Why not give eggplants a try too? You might be amazed at all the different varieties and cultivars available from seeds or transplants. And you'll never look at eggplants the same way again.
