Man faces felony charge of driving while using drugsAugust 05,2013Police: Drugs a factor in crash
BENNINGTON A North Bennington man is facing felony charges after police said they believed he had been using a depressant drug before causing a crash in Bennington.
David J. Corcuera, 34, was arraigned last week on a felony charge of driving under the influence of a drug, a felony charge of refusing to submit to a blood test and a misdemeanor charge of grossly negligent driving.
In an affidavit, Officer John Behan of the Bennington Police Department said he was dispatched to investigate a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of North Bennington Road and Hannaford Shopping Plaza around 7:50 a.m. July 14. There were no reported injuries.
Behan said one driver, Helen Morey, 71, said she was driving east on North Bennington Road and had come to a stop at a traffic light when the other car, driven by Corcuera, hit her in the back. A witness told Behan that what she had seen while walking on North Bennington Road supported Moreys story.
When Behan spoke to Corcuera, he noticed signs of impairment, according to the affidavit. Corcuera told Behan he did not take any drugs for which he did not have a prescription but said he is part of a methadone program because of a previous drug problem.
Corcuera was taken to the Bennington police station where Cpl. Andy Hunt, a Bennington police officer who is a nationally certified drug recognition expert, said he believed Corcuera was under the influence of a central nervous system depressant drug.
Corcuera declined to provide a blood sample.
According to court records, Corcuera has been previously convicted of driving under the influence of substances in July 2006 in Vermont and January 2009 in New York.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON - The Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis has been appointed the 10th Bishop of...

Bristol snow: the latest weather forecast
Posted: January 22, 2013|
More snow could be on the way for Bristol today.
Much of Bristol woke up to a thin dusting of the white stuff this morning, and forecasters say we should expect rain, sleet and maybe a bit more snow as the day goes on.
The maximum temperature today will be about 5C.
Tonight any rain and sleet will turn to snow, with temperatures sinking to zero.
Related content
The Met Office forecasts light snow from around 6pm until the early hours of Wednesday. There is a 60 per cent chance of precipitation - that it, sleet, rain or snow - this evening, the Met Office says.
Temperatures will drop to around 1C, but the Met Office says it could feel much colder - as low as -4C. This may in part be because of 24mph wind gusts.
Then tomorrow expect another cold and largely cloudy day with further outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow across many parts.
It will be largely dry and bright on Thursday, although a few wintry showers are possible.
It will be mainly dry again on Friday, although rain and strong winds will arrive later.
Yellow warnings of ice and snow are still in place.
There are some delays on bus routes in Bristol this morning - check the First Bus website for the latest information.
There are reports of heavy, slow-moving traffic on the A420 into Bristol this morning due to icy conditions.
Bristol Airport is open and the majority of flights are operating as normal.
However, because adverse weather across the UK and Europe could still cause disruption in some cases, passengers are advised to contact their airline to confirm the status of their flight before travelling to the Airport.
Passengers are also advised to allow additional journey time to the airport.
Heavy snow is forecast in Clifton and Stoke Bishop tonight. The Met Office predicts light snow from around 6pm, which could develop into heavy snow by 9pm.
The snow in both areas could subside at around midnight, and continue to fall gently until around 6am on Wednesday. Sleet is predicted from around 6am until 9am.
There is an 80 per cent chance of precipitation in both areas tonight.
Meanwhile a flurry of light snow is forecast in Clifton, Stoke Bishop and many others parts of Bristol tomorrow afternoon, from around midday until 3pm.
The Met Office has upgraded the weather warning for snow in Bristol to amber.
The warning, which urges the public to "be prepared", has been issued from 3pm today until midday tomorrow.
Some 10 cm of snow could fall amber warning areas, the Met Office says. This could be locally heavy and fall in a short period of time, perhaps just a few hours.
The yellow warning of ice in Bristol remains in place until lunchtime tomorrow.
Light snow is forecast from 3pm today in various parts of Bristol.
According to the Met Office website, a flurry will fall until mid-morning on Wednesday.
An amber weather warning of snow is in place from 3pm today until midday tomorrow, and the yellow warning of ice already in place remains until midday tomorrow.
While light snow may be seen in some parts of Bristol this afternoon, in others the white stuff isn't forecast until this evening.
Some parts of Bristol will see bouts of heavy snow followed by sleet.
Some parts of Bristol will see snow tomorrow night, the Met Office has said.
After a snowy Tuesday night, yet more of the white stuff is forecast on Wednesday night. According to the latest Met Office forecast, light snow will fall at around 6pm on Wednesday, and continue for a couple of hours.
It may fall again in the early hours of Thursday, according to the forecast.
Snow has started falling in Longwell Green; Brislington; Withywood; Clevedon and Congresbury, it is understood.
BBC Points West weatherman Ian Fergusson tweeted: "Temperature profile increasingly conducive to snow in Bristol area & especially by rush-hour/eve as heavier rates likely #Bristolsnowwatch".
Darron Burness, the AA's Head of Special Operations, said the South West was this morning, "hit by a dangerous cocktail of rain, sleet and hail".
He said: "The rain washed away some of the salt on the roads, so the hail then froze, creating treacherous sheet ice and causing a spate of accidents."
Urging caution on the roads, Mr Burness said: "On snow and ice the key is to drive smoothly, avoiding hard acceleration, braking and steering movements.
"Try to stay in the highest gear possible to avoid wheel spin. If your car skids, only hit the brakes if you have anti-lock brakes.
"If you don't have anti-lock brakes, try to regain control by lifting off the pedals and depressing the clutch to help the wheels regain traction.
"It's easier said than done, so keep your speed down and try to keep plenty of space around you at all times.
"If you're on a hill, try to avoid having to stop part way up by waiting till it's clear of other cars or by leaving plenty of room to the car in front.
"Keep a constant speed and choose the most suitable gear well in advance to avoid having to change down on the hill.
"Likewise, if you're going downhill, reduce your speed before the hill, use a low gear and try to avoid using the brakes.
"Wherever you're travelling this week, stick to the gritted main roads where possible and keep tuned to local radio for the traffic and weather reports."
It is now snowing in Clifton, BBC Points West weatherman Ian Fergusson reports.
The weatherman also warns of a strong likelihood of worsening conditions into this evening.
Meanwhile a yellow weather warning of ice has been issued for Bristol on Thursday.
The warning, which urges the public to "be aware", has been issued between 3am and midday. During this time temperatures will plummet to -1C, but the Met Office warns it could feel as cold as -5.
Light snow could fall in Bristol continuously until tomorrow evening, the Met Office has said.
In its latest forecast, the Met Office has predicted light snow from 3pm today until past 6pm tomorrow in some parts of Bristol. A heavy bout of snow may fall between 6pm and 9pm tonight.
The snow is expected to subside tomorrow between 9pm and midnight, but fall again in the early hours of Thursday.
Temperatures will linger around the 1C mark tomorrow, but it could feel as cold as -4C.
Snow is falling thick and fast in parts of Bristol tonight, including Clifton and the city centre.

01 product description
Product description
Klara is a wooden armchair designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso. The design works on a simple, linear aesthetic that is harmonious in its curved yet essential shape. The use of wood emphasises its lightness and elegance.
The structure is both functional and decorative, and calls to mind the first serial productions of the early 20th century (not least) due to the use of woven cane, a hand-crafted technique in practice in Friuli a century ago.
For its production, Moroso decided to work with the Manzano chair-manufacturing district, both in recognition of a production area that has represented Italian excellence in the production and industrial processing of wooden chairs for over a century, and because Moroso has always considered fine Italian, and in this case local craft skills to be of great value.
The name Klara evokes a sense of tranquillity (Klare in German means clear, limpid, whilst the Spanish equivalent Clara communicates serenity). Thus this project also emphasises the importance of blending decorative art, craftsmanship and industrial design.

Hmm. I've always acted as though Chills disregarded Taunt. By the Compendium's logic, you couldn't have your Pokemon do nothing, as that doesn't cause damage, and you also couldn't have your Pokemon use a non-effective move (Thunderbolt on a Ground-type) since that doesn't do damage either.
If Breloom hadn't Chilled, she would've either had to go against her conditional, allow Chill to fail and do nothing (still going against the rules of Taunt), or I'd treat this like Sleep Talk and roll a random move.
That given, I feel I handled it as best I could, given my options. But, this isn't my battle; what do you two think?

Heating oil fell to the lowest level in almost a month as Brent crude, a benchmark for more than half of the world's oil, weakened on speculation that Saudi Arabia is increasing supply.
Futures slid as Brent dropped as much as 3.1 percent, which could reduce the price of imported crude used to manufacture products. Saudi Arabia is pumping about 10 million barrels a day of crude and will produce more if customers demand it, a Persian Gulf official with knowledge of the matter said yesterday. Gasoil dropped 2.8 percent in London, reducing the incentive to ship fuel from the U.S. to Europe.
"Heating oil has gone down as Brent is under pressure as the Saudis feel the current price is too high and they have been increasing production," said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston.
Heating oil for October delivery fell 6.03 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $3.0668 a gallon at 9:56 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Brent for November settlement declined $2.85, or 2.5 percent, to $109.18 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange. Gasoil for October delivery fell $27.25 to $961.25 a ton.
The ideal price of crude for OPEC is $100 a barrel and current prices are not supported by the fundamentals, the Persian Gulf official said, declining to be identified because he's not authorized to speak publicly.
"The pledge by the Saudis to keep pumping oil has been overhanging the market," said Phil Flynn, vice president of research at PFGBest in Chicago.
The Energy Department is scheduled to report last week's inventories at 10:30 a.m. today in Washington.
Inventory Survey
The department will probably report that distillate inventories, which include heating oil and diesel, increased 1 million barrels, according to the median estimate of nine analysts in a survey by Bloomberg News. Gasoline inventories rose 1 million barrels last week, the survey showed.
The industry-funded American Petroleum Institute reported yesterday that gasoline stockpiles rose 135,000 barrels and distillate supplies fell 1.12 million barrels.
October-delivery gasoline fell 5.62 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $2.8428 a gallon on the exchange.
Regular gasoline at the pump fell 0.5 cent to $3.854 a gallon yesterday, AAA data showed. Prices reached a 2012 high of $3.936 on April 4.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
A YouTube user posted a leaked promo for the new Remington ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) that was exclusively built for the military and LE. The weapon, formerly known as the Magpul Masada, was designed by Magpul Industries and licensed to Remington for military and LE sale. It will be sold in the civilian market as the Bushmaster ACR. The rifle will debut at SHOT Show 2010.
Kahr Arms just introduced a new subcompact pistol chambered for the .380 ACP cartridge. Weighing less than a pound loaded and only .75 inches wide, this new pistol is small and light enough that it should serve just about anyone's deep concealment and/or backup needs.
There were law enforcement exhibits in the lobby, in the hallways, in the meeting rooms from one end of the rambling convention center to the other. And they had a lot of great products on display. Here's a look at our favorites from this year's SHOT.
Available in two versions—5.56mm and 7.62mm—the SCAR was developed to meet specific SOCOM requirements, but it would make an excellent SWAT rifle.
At this year's SHOT, held last month in Las Vegas, aisles of booths were overflowing into several tent buildings erected in the parking lot. And a good portion of the overflow belonged to law enforcement products.
Every winter, the Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show attracts buyers from the major wholesalers, federal firearms license holders, and a mix of individuals from the government and law enforcement. For those of you who couldn't get to Orlando in mid-January to walk the aisles of the show, here's a quick look at some of the gear that caught the eyes of our editors.
You probably think you have seen every possible rifle that can be derived from the basic AR platform. Think again.
A good law enforcement handgun does not have to be new and exciting to remain viable in the market. A good duty or off-duty sidearm is not a fashion statement; it's a tool.
You'd have to look hard to find a trade show with more of a split personality than the Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) show. In recent years, it has developed into two shows, really. One is a sporting show that features such things as duck hunting shotguns and new deer skinning tools and the other is a military and law enforcement gear show that includes grenade launchers and fully automatic weapons
Each year the law enforcement specific portion of the annual Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show grows larger. This year's show was no exception.

All Women Shortlists
June 9, 2011 4 Comments
All Woman Shortlisting for a party's selection of MP candidate is an often contentious point. The justification for it is that despite women making up roughly half the population of the country, they have never come anywhere near this proportion of seats in the House of Commons. A dearth of women is a problem for many reasons, chief among them that 'women's issues' are given less attention than they deserve, that there is a lack of positive female role models demonstrating a woman's capacity to exercise power and that, symbolically and literally, our political system is revealed to be dominated by, and managed in the interests of, men (and white men, at that). As important as it is to see the hugely discrepant male to female ratio rectified, AWS seem to be an imperfect, and potentially damaging, tool.
The most obvious reason to oppose them, and one which is sufficient for many to make up their minds on its strength alone, is that refusing to allow someone to run in an election on the grounds of gender or any similar characteristic is inherently at odds with the basic values of our democratic system. In fact, Labour's use of all women shortlists was ruled illegal in 1996 under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, and remained so until the Labour government introduced the Sex Discrimination (Election Candidates) Act 2002 to allow themselves to continue the practice.
There is also an argument that the women elected through these lists are not respected because they haven't had to go though the same rigours as other MPs. The Lib Dem MP Jo Swinson made her opposition to all women shortlists unambiguous with a t-shirt bearing the legend "I am not a token woman".
To some extent, though, it is for each party to decide how they select their candidates, and as the women selected through this process still have to go on to legitimately win an election, it could be argued that this does not constitute a serious democratic shortcoming. Aside from this, AWS are fundamentally at odds with another key ideology of our democracy; the idea of representation. The suggestion is that for women to be adequately represented in the House of Commons, the proportion of female MPs must be (or at least must approach) the proportion of women in society; approximately 50%. The first response to this is to recognise that women are not the only under represented minority group*. Other groups, who are also likely to be adversely affected by ignorantly made policy, might also be justified in demanding electoral manipulation to ensure representation. Why not all black or Asian shortlists? Why not all disabled shortlists? Why all openly gay shortlists? I'm not being facetious. Why not engineer things so that there are a few more working class MPs, or better still, benefits claimants? A number of MPs end up in prison, but why not engineer things so that some ex-convicts are elected; would their experiences not be useful in informed law making? Yesterday in Parliament Labour MP Paul Flynn suggested shortlists to get more people over 80 into the Commons. There is not one (acknowledged) transgender MP. Isn't it time something was done about that? Shouldn't a few more of our MPs be unemployed? (Ok, now I am being facetious)
Though it would be nice to see a more diverse Parliament, all women shortlists are built on the notion that in order for women's interests to be protected, women must be represented by women. This is problematic for a representative democracy; ultimately, if you consent to be represented by someone else in a political system you must accept that they will not share all of your characteristics, up to and including gender. (Practically, if you are lucky enough to find a candidate whose political views are compatible with yours, other concerns become secondary). Furthermore, this debate focuses on the composition of the Commons as a whole, and somewhat neglects the role an MP has in representing their own constituency. Is my sister, whose MP is female, better represented, benefiting from a greater democratic empowerment, than my mother, whose MP is male? Am I served less well by my female MP than I would have been by a male one? It is worth remembering that the women of Mid Bedforshire are represented by Nadine Dorries, who, with her views on abortion, abstinence only sex education for girls and 'just saying no' to sexual abuse can be viewed as one of the most pressing threats to the dignity and sexual equality of women in the current Parliament. She doesn't even support all women shortlists, so anti-feminist is she.
All of this is to say that, within the context of our democratic system, any attempt by the major political parties to influence that type of person who is elected is fundamentally undemocratic; all women shortlists are built on a rejection of the most basic concept of representation; and that women in power are no guarantee that women's issues are being properly championed. The very idea of all women shortlists is fundamentally at odds with the internal logic of our political system.
It's also worth looking at this in a wider context, though. All female shortlists are intended to address the recognised problem that our political system is dominated by men and maintains masculine, patriarchal privileges. With this in mind, it is seriously doubtful that this system can be a mechanism for protecting (or even understanding) women's best interests. Put bluntly; if you do not believe that our democratic system is institutionally prejudiced in favour of men then there is no need for all female shortlists. If you do believe that our democratic system is institutionally prejudiced in favour of men then there is no reason to trust it as an agent of female empowerment. A policy handed down from above, by men, within a patriarchal system will not empower women; it is a gesture of condescension. Women cannot be given equal democratic power, as the very act of giving is an assertion of superiority. Fundamentally, our representative parliamentary democracy is a hierarchy of power and privilege which has consistently disenfranchised women. Genuine gender equality cannot be achieved with in it.
*It is worth pointing out that at half the population, women are not in any meaningful sense a numerical minority, but are referred to as one because they suffer the same effects of marginalisation, victimisation and 'othering' as is common for actual minorities.

First and foremost, use the best oranges you can find. Second, the candy thermometer is your friend. I kept sampling the marmalade at the end when thermometer only"

Fast Forward . . . Life happened.
I have now had a total of 9 surgeries on my throat. One major where the "bad" scar tissue was removed. One minor post surgery to stretch the new scar tissue from the surgery.
I am now waiting for surgery #10 sceduled for April 1st. Yes, April Fools day. I am hoping to find a mannequin head to bring a long as an April Fools for my doctor. He has a good sense of humor.
The rest of the family is well. I can't believe how they have grown.
T is 8 and doing 2nd grade work. I have the blessing/priveledge of beinb his teacher. It has been a challenge this year as I have been struggling to wrap my mind around Dyslexia. I am grateful for a dear friend who has guided me to some good curriculum.
C is coming into her own. She dresses herself and does a pretty good job most of the time. Skirts are almost a constant, but they must be worn with pants. She also enjoys helping in the kitchen with cooking and around the house with cleaning. Yeah!
Our newest addition is a Boston Terrier/ Pug, also known as a Bug, named Chewy. He joined our family just before New Year. He is a warm bundle that squirms with excitement when you get home. He loves to snuggle and even tolerates the mauling dished out by younger family members. He is a welcome addition.
Well that is all for now. I'll add more as time permits.

The Future is Reconfigurable

A mysterious location database file was on found on the iPhone 4, raising privacy concerns and geek curiosity. At the Where 2.0 Conference last April, Alisdair Allan, senior research fellow at the University of Exeter, and Pete Warden, founder of Data Science Toolkit, reported finding a mysterious unencrypted database file going by the name "consolidated.db" with almost a year's worth of location data. The file was being stored on both iPhone and iPad2 devices.
"The thing that startled me was that this survived through multiple devices," Allan said. It was also backed up unencrypted on the Mac.
Apple said this particular file actually represents data transmitted from Apple to the iPhone relating to cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots within 100 miles of the phone's location. It's used to improve the location-resolution process by using radio data the phone receives.
With GPS alone, an iPhone can take more than a minute to resolve a new location. Using the local Wi-Fi/cell-tower location cache, along with observations about nearby signal strength, the iPhone triangulate its location faster than it can with GPS alone. In some cases, such as inside a building, these other techniques can resolve a location without any GPS assistance.
An Apple update reduced the consolidated.db file size to seven days of data and lets users delete it entirely by turning location services off. The next major iOS operating system upgrade will also encrypt the file on the phone.
The Google Android phone, which uses a similar approach to improve location services, had already implemented the privacy measures that Apple recently made.
The use of mobile devices for gathering and utilizing shared location data represents a relatively new frontier in efforts to automate crowdsourcing. Many online efforts have sprung up to let the masses participate in the search for extraterrestrial life (SETI@home), track earthquakes (Quake-Catcher), or solve problems (Mechanical Turk).
Using cell phones as sensors to automatically gather data about cell networks can lead to better planning and network designs. Apple has announced plans to use similar techniques for automatically and anonymously gathering location data for an upcoming traffic application. However, automatically gathering data raises privacy concerns, even when efforts are made to anonymize the data. This recent programming error has shown that data leaks can show up in the most obscure places.
"In Apple's, case, their particular goal of helping users get location faster made sense, but could still create a privacy issue," said Justin Brookman, director of the Center for Democracy and Technology's Project on Consumer Privacy.
He said the fundamental issue is that organizations need to practice "privacy by design." This requires managers and engineers to think privacy implications through at design time, before they create more costly problems in the future.
In some cases, individuals opt for extended tracking from any application service provider to benefit from more features, such as Foursquare for social sharing. Location Labs works with cell-phone companies to aggregate access to location data from over 300 million phones in North America. Using this service, independent software developers can create applications for families or offices that use ordinary cell phones from different cell-phone providers with no installed software. More sophisticated applications can prevent kids from driving and texting.
The Skyhook Core Engine lets developers add location-tagging features to their applications. Skyhook mines about 300 million location requests per day to predict the density of people in predefined block-by-block areas. Developers can use this anonymous data in location-aware programming frameworks that work across multiple PC and smartphone operating systems.
In other cases, people can inadvertently publish personal data without realizing it. For example, smartphones can automatically record the location where a picture was taken, without the owner realizing it. "A photo-processing application might access the raw data and then spread it in ways you might not expect," Brookman said.
The concern is that if a big company like Apple can accidentally share your data, what about these smaller companies? And what about a company like a bar locater that might sell your location data to any advertiser that wants to pay? Or a company that might use the data to charge people different prices based on where they've gone. At the moment, there is no legal framework for sharing location information.
"There is a value, a right to anonymity," said Brookman. "I can do things without someone looking over my shoulder and telling me what to do. If I feel a lot of companies are watching me, I might behave differently than if I had true anonymity."
On the flip side, Allan just wants to use the data to learn more. He said he might not upgrade his iPhone OS, if he lost the ability to get a consolidated location file so easily.
To download the application Pete Warden wrote to visualize cell-tower location data, see http://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker.

Kia Sportage 2005 and newer
for more information on the next-generation Kia Sportage that is being designed and tested now by Kia Motors in Korea. You will get a good idea there what's going on with it. It is based on the Elantra platform and will be front-wheel drive or even all-wheel drive. It's under development still so the driveline issues could still be tweaked as design continues. It will not be available in 4-wheel drive and it may or may not be available with manual transmission.
carspy01 "'05 Kia Sportage" Mar 13, 2003 3:44pm
2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed
Are you sure that the next Sportage will not have 4WD? I can understand the switch to a car based platform, but no 4WD! Without 4WD, you will have lost the single reason people buy SUVs over minivans and wagons. Also, the automatic should be tiptronic, like the Hyundai Santa Fe.
Thanks, iluv, for sending me the private e-mail to get back on board! I'm just too busy right now to follow everything here, but let me review what I said last year:
1) Hyundai was/is working on the next-gen Elantra-platform, which will be laid out as front wheel 2WD and the permanent AWD-version.
2) This next-gen Elantra will underpin the next-gen Kia Spectra, as well.
3) The "revolution" inside Kia took place by switching the frame-based "old" Sportage to this new platform, i.e. the next Sportage will be car-based as the Honda CRV and Toyota RAV4.
4) There are two rumors out there for Hyundai:
a) a Hyundai version of the vehicle as sub-Santa Fe as the Santa Fe will increase in size for the next generation
b) a Hyundai tall wagon-type vehicle will 2WD and AWD. I did not see anything of either yet.
5) Brenda Priddy's shot of the Sportage is REAL.
6) The Sorento "Sport" (2 door) and pick-up version are still in the planning.
Keep on rocking!!!

Will there be an updated 2004 Sportage?
Our current plan is to introduce a replacement for the Sportage vehicle in the 05 model year, with sales likely to begin in the fall of 2004. We have not confirmed that the name of the vehicle will be Sportage as of this time.
me that Kia will NOT go to a car-based unitized body like Elantra with it's new 2005 Sportage. They'll stay with the body-on-frame truck-like arrangement they've used from the start(with Ford Motor Co.'s assistance). carspy01-ya out there still?
2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed
I'm still around but in the background... I only drop by from time to time to read some of the postings, and I just scratch my head and wonder... a bunch of new names on the boards... you can still e-mail me - however, I'm honest, I have waaaay to little time to be in the discussion groups every day....
Well, do NOT buy your next car from this Kia salesman!
The 2005 Kia Sportage should be introduced to the US/Canadian public - hopefully - in Detroit beginning of 2004. It should be on sale shortly after, i.e. spring 2004. It will be car based, i.e. of the "JM"-platform, which is - in other words - and upgraded Elantra-architecture with AWD-option.
comes up from time to time but I knew that it's going to be on a car-based unitized frame of Hyundai's Elantra. Just a short pop quiz for ya...I figured you were still cyber-strolling now and then. carspy01...there's a car maker in South Korea called Proto Motors making a great looking sports car in limited production called Spirra. It is VERY shagadelic. Know anything about this upstart company that has/is assisted/assisting Daewoo-Kia-Hyundai? Don't bother responding if you're busy, man...I'm just curious.
2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed
I just wanted to see if you knew anything different than what's on their website. If they could make a car like that for $30,000(which I heard from one poster on Edmunds.com)it would be amazing. RWD, mid-ship engine, great power specs, great looks and very light body. Not a BRAND NEW car company, either, though fairly fresh. Interesting read if anybody's interested in them.
Check out the link in the above post to head there.
2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed
with Hyundai. These can get muddled as the information is popped around to and fro don't'cha know! hjr2 intially reported that Proto is working with Hyundai on developing a new sports car(Proto working on the body of the car)and the price being around $30,000. Until I learn more(the feelers are out for information!)I'm not gonna comment anymore on that subject...especially in this thread. OBTW-Proto Motors of Korea is still making their own car called Spirra-they've released quite a bit of information on their website about it but as far as exporting it here we're as clueless as....as..umm...as those who think that Chevy will not offer a Cobalt blue color on thier new Chevy Cobalt Civic-Corolla fighter due out in the next few years. Now back to our regularly scheduled show...Kia's new Sportage due in the fall of 2004 as a 2005 model that WILL be plopped on an Elantra base.
2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed
That is not quite correct. "Kia" (Who there? Which Kia? Iluv's Kia-car-salesman???) did in fact never make an announcement like that. Customers might see a first glimpse of the new "Sportage" (name is not even confirmed) next month in Frankfurt. The vehicle should be introduced begin of next year in Korea, which is, if I am not completely wrong, 2004.
(which may or may not be called Sportage by the way!)is that the new SUV(smaller than Hyundai's Santa Fe)will offer an optional 2.7L V6 engine AND optional all-wheel drive. I believe carspy01 HAS mentioned the all-wheel drive option before but I'm just re-iterating it. Otherwise your new Kia Sportage replacer will feature front-wheel drive. Gone is the old rear-wheel drive that my Sportage runs on now with shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel drive available at your whim. Whoo-hoo carspy01 we're learning more all the time! The U.S.release should be in the fall of 2004 as a 2005 model-year product.
2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed
will be here in the States earlier is not bad news it's good! My Sportage is great right now but it's fun to look down the road at what you might want to pull the trade-trigger on later and this new small SUV from Kia and Hyundai's Tiburon GT V6 are at the top of my list(actually the Tib's at the very top)right now. The front of this SUV looks handsome but only makes me want to find that actual SUV and rip the cover off the front to see it better! ARGGH!! =;)

The Tarot Deck and Cards
Feb 7th
Posted by max22 in Psychic Academy
The Tarot Card Deck
A tarot card deck has seventy eight cards is divided into major and minor arcana. Major arcana are twenty two in number and have various images and generally carry more weight, and represent major, fundamental changes or states of being. The deck also has fifty six minor arcana cards or suit cards. The images on the minor arcana cards deal with everyday problems and symbolize their relationship with the seekers questions or problems.
The fifty six minor arcana are closely related to regular playing cards most people are familiar with. They have four suits usually going by the names of cups, batons or wands, coins, that often are called disks or pentacles, and swords. All of this depends on the type of deck one uses so it can be a little confusing in the beginning when one starts to learn about tarot cards.
There are different associations made to the four suits of the minor arcana with some of the most common being the batons or wands with fire, the coins with earth, cups with water, and the swords related with air.
Air is sometimes traded with fire in the swords suit depending on the interpretation being made during a tarot card reading.
Every suit in the minor arcana has a total of fourteen cards. Ten of them are just like regular playing cards, ace through 10. The last four of the fourteen are called court cards and are the king, queen, knight, and page. Once again they might have a different name depending on what kind of deck you are using. A common replacements used for the knight and page cards are with a prince and princess card. There are still more variations, but the above is the most common if one resides in the western hemisphere.
Many people feel that the twenty two cards of the major arcana represent the absolute central part of the tarot card deck and even mankind himself. The complete realm of human experience is represented by them. They symbolize everything about the nature of mankind from the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical point of view. These major arcane cards can interpret the spiritual or godly aspects of man right down to their fears, weaknesses, and strengths.
The tarot card meaning can change depending on the reading and even the one doing the reading. A single card can get a different explanation depending on where the card falls in the spread and what the other cards in its vicinity mean. It is the tarot card reader's own judgment and experience which will determine whether or not a certain card has any relevance to the question or problem that is being presented and they will often simply discard it as non consequential.
Since the meanings of the cards in a tarot deck can be interpreted in so many different ways it is important for any one individual to not rely on the advice or interpretation given as complete gospel. No one's life is completely driven by fate or destiny if they use at least a little bit of their own free will and common sense to live their life.
Tarot cards can be used to help clarify a confusing situation and even open your mind to possible solutions to your problems, but they will only be helpful to you if you take positive action to change your troubling situation or to be alert for potential hazards in your future.
Remote Viewing
Feb 7th
Posted by max22 in Psychic Power
Remote viewing is a highly documented and thoroughly researched tool that has been investigated and concretely developed governments around the world. Most people have heard of it, but do not really know what it is. The ability to remote view is an ability that all humans possess, but just like language, it has to be learned.
When using proper protocols in a remote viewing session, the viewer is not really in an altered state, they are simply using the power of concentration to access information outside themselves. Remote viewing is in fact a psychic power but not in the way commonly understood by most and other practitioners of paranormal arts, although recent incomplete and inaccurate reports may have been led many to believe otherwise.
Remote viewers are not the typical clairvoyants, psychics, and fortune tellers one sees advertising their wares on the internet or TV.
Remote viewing is primarily used in conjunction with retro cognition and precognition and is often thought to not be good for finding a lost ring or other valuables, but some success with things of this nature have been reported. It is often done with topological variety targets. Remote viewing is a process that a person undertakes to as the name implies to view something of their choice from long distances with the power of the mind. There have been very specific protocols developed in order for a remote viewing session to be considered reliable, but that is a subject for a different article.
Remote viewing is the scientific process of receiving or gathering information about a particular target. Often confused with clairvoyance, remote viewing is a learned skill, whereas clairvoyance is more often thought of as a natural skill. Remote viewing is now a robust and sometimes easily repeatable and quickly demonstrable phenomenon.
Remote viewing can be defined as the ability to see and or perceive information about objects, places, people, or even events related to another time, without any known means of communication. In the last several years there have been reports about the US Army and CIA having remote viewing programs in the past and, possible, in the present time.
Remote viewing is a controlled and trainable scientific process involving psi, or psychic abilities. Remote viewing procedures were originally developed in laboratories funded by the United States military and intelligence services and used for espionage purposes. Remote viewing is a term used to describe the ability to sense events remote from yourself, in either time or location, using extrasensory perception. These events could be either in the past, or precognition of the future.
Remote viewing is a new name for an old ability. Remote viewing is the ability of a person to project their conscious observation to a distant location to see or sense what is there. Remote viewing is nothing new in Tibetan monasteries. For thousands of years remote viewing in the middle of other spiritual activities have dominated Tibetan culture.
Remote viewing is a methodology that helps most anyone use their innate natural intuitive abilities to accurately access previously unknown information remotely. It peels back the layers of deceit and lies and makes known the truth about our world, human history and currents events.

How To Develop Psychic Dreams
May 18th
Posted by max22 in Psychic Dreams
Many people are interested in tapping the power of their intuition using the daily duty of sleep. Often times someone will become interested in further investigation of this subject after repeatedly having the same or similar type dream several nights in a row and begins to wonder if these dreams have some sort of meaning for them in their life.
It has been said here on this site and elsewhere that if a dream is supposed to be providing you some sort of guidance then "you will know it". But what to do in the situations where somehow you feel in your gut or "intuitively" that it must have some sort of meaning for you in your life but you just cannot figure it out?
In order for a person to "know" for sure whether or not their dream or dreams are trying to provide some sort of psychic guidance it is important to have at least a somewhat developed intuition.
So how does one go about developing their intuitional power?
Here is a very simple technique that you can use just about anywhere and any time you have at least a free minute or two. Obviously the more time you have to practice this technique the better, but in the beginning most people find it difficult to stay focused for more than one or two rounds.
Keep in mind that this procedure is just one way to help you develop your concentration. It will also as a side benefit help to calm your mind. These two things together – a properly developed ability to concentrate as well as the ability to control your thoughts go hand in hand on the road to developing psychic power as well as manifesting the reality you wish to have.
- Sit upright in a chair, feet flat on the floor, shoulders back and your hands resting upright comfortably on your thighs or even a little further up your leg to the junction of your legs and torso. The reasons for not sitting back in the chair leaning against the back rest are many. The main one being that most people have a tendency to quickly start drifting off to sleep or at least quickly begin to dive into the subconscious and you do not want to do that at this point. That comes later.
- Inhale deeply and hold that breath for two seconds and then quickly and forcefully exhale. If the body feels compelled to immediately breathe in again let it, but consciously pull in as much air as you can, hold it for two seconds and then quickly and forcefully exhale. Do this at least three times before moving on to the next step. After each exhalation (and more practice) the body will not always feel a need to immediately draw in more air. In those few seconds a couple of things can and will happen.
- If you are aware enough you will begin to feel a little glimmer of calmness and peace in those few moments between breaths.
- If your ability to concentrate thus far is quite limited you will lose focus on what it is you are trying to do and start thinking of something else, (particularly if you are leaning back against the backrest of the chair) if this happens to you just bring your mind back to this technique, don't get down on yourself, and start from step one again.
- Now. After getting a little bit more oxygen to your brain and somewhat calming your nerves and racing mind you can really start developing your concentration by doing the following. (as a side note a lot of people find that having a clock "ticking" in the back round is helpful in maintaining focus while practicing. If you have one, make sure it is one that only ticks off in seconds and not the type that "ticks" twice or more a second.)
- You will begin drawing in a breath, holding it, and then exhaling in equal amounts. A useful target is 10 seconds in, 10 seconds held, and 10 seconds exhaled. In the beginning you will have to simply see what works for you. Many folks find that 5 seconds is good for them at the start.
- If you use the 10 seconds in, 10 seconds held, and 10 seconds exhaled before drawing in the next breath you will essentially be "breathing" twice a minute. You will quickly start to see the calming benefits of this as a person normally breathes 20 times a minute.
- Continue doing this for a total of ten breaths. Done properly, five minutes or more will have passed. You will find that after even just a little practice that your body will not demand an immediate "inhalation" after the last exhalation. This is fantastic when this starts to happen. Enjoy the calmness and peace between breaths. You will start gaining the ability to "see" your thoughts and be able to watch them pass by.
- Once you have practiced this very simple technique and know that you are maintaining your focus throughout, then when you are done with your ten breaths lean back in your chair and relax. Allow yourself to "daydream". Pick the subject or thought you want to dream about and in the following minutes you will often see clearly the meaning behind what it is that is hampering you.
- Do not expect an instant and "miraculous" answer to come to you. It rarely happens right away, but over time you will gain the ability to almost instantly "see" the answer to whatever subject or problem you have chosen to work on.
After practicing this very simple (but not necessarily easy) technique for some time you will also notice a whole host of other benefits in your life. These benefits will be expounded upon in another article later on.
You will find that practicing this psychic dreams technique right before going to sleep at night will also often cause you to not only have more vivid and easier to remember dreams, but that you will also feel a lot more refreshed in the morning. As you delve deeper and deeper you no longer will wonder, "am I psychic?". You will prove to yourself that it is indeed true.
