Speed runs in the family
Champion dirt-track racer Mike Balcaen's daughter a pedal-pusher, too
Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to get the oil and filter changed in your car? It's a phenomenon that quite possibly could be among the top 10 mysteries in the universe.
You should watch Mike Balcaen and his pit crew work on his big red No. 10 late-model race car. It would set your head spinning.
In 27 years of late-model, dirt-track racing, Balcaen has won 34 track and series championships, 10 Victory Lane Speedway championships, 10 River Cities Speedway championships and four National Late Model Racing Association titles.
No one could accomplish those kind of results waiting around for their regular corner mechanic to keep their car in tip-top shape. Then again, not everyone has the luxury of taking their own mechanics on the road with them.
"The reason why we won 34 championships is because of our crew. The guys have been with me... well, my crew chief, Steve Boulanger, has been with me for at least 15-plus years," Balcaen said over coffee in his Charleswood home. Other longtime members of his pit crew are Lance Burton, Harry Klaus and Tom Howards.
As for speedy auto service, Balcaen provided a couple of examples. "Several years ago we qualified a car, and the car you qualify in a preliminary race is the one you have to run in the feature.
"Well, we damaged the motor after a qualifying race, so we had to pull the engine out of the other car (he tows two cars behind his motor home). Then we pulled the engine out of the car we were racing and swapped the engines from one car to the other between races."
Last year they did the same thing, only this time it was rear ends after blowing one crossing the finish line of another qualifier.
Balcaen got his first taste of speed at age 11, racing go-karts. At 16, he graduated to super stocks and in 1984 moved up to late-models, which is what he still drives.
Racing in the Balcaen household is a family affair. His wife Kim, who he met in Fargo 27 years ago, is the daughter of veteran Winnipeg sprint-car driver Lou Kennedy, who cut his teeth at the old Brooklands Speedway in the '50s and '60s. Kennedy's son, Lou Jr., also races sprints and his sons are also racing. "My cousins, George and Tom Balcaen, also race."
Balcaen's 19-year-old daughter Amber is a chip off the old block. She graduated from go-karts at 16 and moved up to lightning sprints, which she raced at Red River Co-op Speedway the last two years.
"She grew up with racing," her dad said. "It's her passion, and it's not something I forced her to do."
"When I was 16, I tried out my cousin's car, my dad's car, other people's cars at the speedway," Amber said. "Everything I hopped into I enjoyed, but the one I enjoyed the most was my uncle Tom's full sprint."
The first time she put the pedal to the metal of a sprint car, Amber said the adrenalin rush was like nothing she'd ever experienced. "For sure, yeah. I call it my happy place. I'd love to be the next Danica Patrick."
Despite a lifetime of auto racing in her family, Kim still finds it's nerve-wracking watching her baby race. "I have been the daughter of a race-car driver, a sister, an aunt and a wife, and the hardest thing I have ever had to go through was watching her race. She's my baby and it's really difficult.
"I'm happy that she races, because it's something she wants to do and I would never take that away from her. People ask me if it ever gets easier, and no, it never does."
Last year, Amber crashed at Greenbush, Minn., flipping her car six or seven times. "My mom was more scared than I was. I think it's scarier watching the crash than actually being in the crash, because it happens so quick and it's over in seconds."
Not so long ago, there was a saying around the dirt tracks of America and Canada: "You run what you brung," which meant exactly what it said -- whatever you showed up with was what you raced. But things have changed a lot over the years.
For instance, Balcaen's red No. 10 has a chassis built in California. "They are nothing you can buy at your local GM, Ford or Chrysler store," he said. "It's called Chromoly Tubular Chassis.
"We also have sophisticated shock and suspension packages, unlike before, where you would just bolt it all together with whatever shock you had. We're fully adjustable on the shock absorbers, and the suspension is adjustable to track conditions.
"Cars are way more adaptable to different conditions and surfaces. It's more of a science now. You're constantly focused on everything about your car, so it's more of a chess game than a hop-in and hang-on deal."
Balcaen says that unlike the old days, where every track had its own set of rules, the WISSOTA organization is now the sanctioning body that sets the rules for 55 tracks throughout the Midwest, including Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and a total of 3,000 licensed drivers.
Engines must be 362 cubic inches maximum. "There is a specified head you cannot touch. It's an aluminum cylinder head, but you have to run it the way you get it."
Another major change from the old days is the tires. "We used to run open compound, or certain compounds. Whatever held air you could run, it. Now we have one tire compound (hardness and texture) and it's good that way. Everyone is the same in terms of tires."
Obviously, all the changes mean Balcaen's "hobby" is more expensive than ever. "We try to keep it at a level where we're doing well enough that it floats on its own. It's kind of a two-edged sword. You have to run well and win races and championships so that you can make money. When you do that, your product suppliers are more likely to either give you stuff or give you stuff at 50 cents on the dollar."
Still, Balcaen said the free part or product is not always the one he uses. "It's not just about getting stuff for free; it's about having the best possible part for the car. If one guy has a part that's not as good, but it's free, I won't necessarily put it on. If I know I have the best part and I know it's going to give me the best results, I'd rather have the better part."
The lofty heights of NASCAR were never a major goal for Balcaen. "At my age now (45), maybe 20 years ago there were some aspirations, but I'm content just doing what we do. The dirt-track late-model situation right now is extremely competitive. It's a tough game, and if you run good or be decent at this thing, then you should be proud, because it's one of the toughest games.
"I'm sure NASCAR would have been great and it would have been cool to try it or do it," Balcaen said. "Over the last several years of racing, we've had lots of opportunities. Some panned out, some didn't. I've lived a good life and I have no regrets, that's for sure."

Ed DeMarco, the Acting Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency for the past three years, will deliver a speech today at the Brookings Institution that leans in the direction of allowing principal reduction on Fannie and Freddie-backed loans in certain cases. This is definitely a crack in the otherwise rigid objection to principal reduction on these loans, but his preliminary analysis suggests the idea may not produce that great an effect.

The federal government and state AGs want you to assume that means a set amount of principal reductions that the banks will grant. But in reality, the banks can employ a variety of non-modification strategies to receive credit toward the settlement, including a number of routine actions they would probably undertake whether or not there was a settlement in place.

For many years, San Francisco has been known for its love of the blues. Since our company already produces one of the nation's largest free Jazz Festivals on Fillmore Street, it made complete sense to us and our client, the Polk District Merchants Association, to create a free Blues Festival on upper Polk Street.
Return to event list.If people are looking to escape the crowded downtown San Francisco chain stores and want to enjoy a warm, friendly neighborhood atmosphere, Polk Street is the place. Polk Street runs from Ghirardelli Square at Beach Street at the northern end, south to Market Street near City Hall and the Civic Center. Located on the west side of upscale Nob and Russian Hills, the neighborhood is in a San Francisco micro climate relatively immune to foul weather, especially during late September. The Festival will feature two main stages, a merchant marketplace, arts and crafts, gourmet food booths, a large family area, cafe seating areas, and much more. We expect the event will receive a huge amount of press since it is now the only free blues event in San Francisco. Please join us and help us build this event into one of the best in the country. |

Webcams. I have an iSight for my Mac, but need something that will be Windows compatible. I've looked at several Logitech models, but almost everything seems to fall flat of Apple's webcam. I'd like similar quality, and if not, then at least close. Any suggestions?
AOL IM video lag
I'm using the video component of AOL Instant Messenger. I can see and hear the person I'm talking with in real time, but he sees me with a long delay, and the audio is very unreliable. I'm not really looking for a definite answer, but maybe some pointers of where I can go to get more information and things to try. The AOL site does not provide much in the way of tech support. [more inside]
Quickcam with OSX?
At one time I had the URL for a website that provided a patch/driver that allowed you to use a Logitech USB Quickcam Messenger -- the ones with the good Christmas rebates? -- with OS X. But now I can't find it, whether via Google or Sourceforge or Google Groups (which appear to be down). Can anyone help? I'm about to belatedly give one to my sister for her Powerbook, and I'd like to be able to, you know, make it work.
How can I get one of these eyeball webcams without reading Japanese?
For obvious reasons, I want this. The problem is that I don't read Japanese. I've tried Google, but searching "eyeball webcam" doesn't really narrow down results.
Is there a caring, Japan residing MeFite that can help me accomplish this goal?

Sending a WebCam to Australia
To those Australian Mefites, a question: I want to send a friend of mine who lives in Brisbane a webcam. To send it from Canada is not only costly but very time consuming. Could anybody suggest some ideas regarding ordering it online from an Australian company and having them send it?

Yeah, it is the year 2009, and at the end of March i finally picked up the famous ps2. I have loved sony consoles since PS1 which I had at one time owned about 50 games for, games that today are rare like, Suikoden1 and 2, FF7,8,9, anthologies, Vagrant Story, Mega Man legends 1 and 2, all tr games, bushido blade, legend of Dragoon and much much more..... So I am no stranger to sony consoles which is why I got a psp in 2007 and a ps3 in 2008.
Why did I take this long to get a ps2? Well for one last gen I was only into PC. I had a ps1 in the late 90's...(and was a pc/console gamer before that, but lacked a pc during that time) and after seeing Baldurs gate at a friends house, I needed to have it. It was advertised in magazines to come out on PS1....the full pc version, and the ps1 version was actually made in full. ( there is a website on it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk31Z3jyuHI ) I waited and waited til I got my own pc from my cousin that I got for $100 ( I was only a year out of high shcool) the thing only had 2gb hard drive, and windows 98 and bg1 filled it. lol... and it ran slow as hell with the 200mhz p2 clone. lol.. that set me off on pc gaming and I sold all my ps1 stuff (dumb, stupid mistake!) Anyway, rpg after rpg came out for pc and i was loving it....I din't need a ps2, i got all these great rpgs on pc exclusives...and with hd resolution. Upgrade after upgrade....then in 2005 the dumb xbox360 came out, and all of the sudden rpg devs like black isle died, and other devs started making stupid dumb games on that platform and it killed the pc gaming world for exclusives as now since then most pc games besides a few here and there are console games.... Now after owning a psp and a ps3. I have a need to see all that I missed. So I bought a ps2. I couldn't be happier with my purchase (well not as happy as when i got my ps1 or ps3 as this is old tech.)
Anyway here is the list of ps2 games I got since last month. and they only cost the same as 3-4 current gen ps3 games.
Suikoden 1, 2, and 3
Final Fantasy 10, 10x2, and 12 collectors
MGS Essentails with mgs 1,2, and 3
Silent Hill 2 (best damn silent hill game ever! I am a big sh fan!)
Castlevania lament of innocence and legacy of darkness, (fun but not like syphony of the night, I hope a ps3 castlev games comes out!)
Grandia 2 and 3
Star ocean 3
Shadow of the collaousus
Persona 3:Fes
Baldurs gate Dark alliance 1 and 2
Champions of Norath 1 and 2
God of war 1 and 2
Dragon Quest 8
Rouge Galaxy
Now with all those great games and my psp/p3/pc/ds collection when will I ever finish these? I don't know but it's nice to own them. I know I miss the ps1 games I would love to replay them, Hoping that more ps1 games come to psn.... Suikoden was the last and I love that game works great on psp and ps3. Now what other ps2 games does anyone recommend?

ProsCommission structure was great, until they capped the commission, then capped commission again, and later informed us that our commission would be docked according to breaks taken in excess of 30 minutes a day however they did not correctly identify break times and choose to doc commission based of time spent away from phone based on bathroom time., work week Monday thru Friday, work hours 6am - 2:30 pm
ConsManagement very disorganized. Management would not put anything in writing to prove exactly what the rate of pay was from one week to the next. Commission structure changed several times within a 1 months time spand to cover Telus bottom line. Management favored coworkers based on personal relationships not on actual work performance. Companies like this are a vial waste of time and are filled with empty promises. Programs are started and closed to make companies look good-like they are bringing jobs back to the US. When in real life these jobs are still being serviced by Manilla, and other 3rd world countries that take US jobs away from Americans, however what more would you expect from a Canadian run brand.
Advice to ManagementAdviceManagement must learn how to treat employees correctly. People looking for work are not live stock, and hearding people in and out of a business is not practical nor is it beneficial to a work environment. If you require your employees to not use cell phone on the floor then common sense would tell you not to use yours on the floor too. Spending time with your employees may increase production, spending less time surfing the web, and texting (taking personal cell phone calls) while on the floor may actually make you look like you care about your position. Yes Veronica Ogletree and Joe Ferranti this means you!!!

Orioles' Davis homers 3 times as Pirates sputter to worst start in 8 years
Pirates/MLB Videos
It's only May, but it's starting to feel like it's getting late for the Pirates.
After a 9-2 loss Tuesday to the Baltimore Orioles, the Pirates are off to their worst start in eight years.
With an 18-26 record, the Pirates are eight victories behind their 2013 pace. They did not lose their 26th game last season until June 9, the 63rd game of the season.
In 2006, the Pirates won only 14 of their first 44 games. They finished 67-95.
No one is saying another 90-loss season is on the way. But after reaching the National League playoffs last year, the Pirates entered this season with lofty goals.
"There comes a point where you can't say it's early anymore," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We've got to find ways to execute at a championship level and execute across the board."
The Pirates reached the season's quarter pole Friday and marked it with a six-run loss to the New York Yankees. Before that game, general manager Neal Huntington admitted the need for a rapid turnaround.
"We've got to do some things to climb back into that (postseason) discussion, and we probably need to start doing them pretty soon," Huntington told the New York Times.
Losing two of three games to the Yankees left the Pirates with the fewest road wins (six) in the majors.
When June arrives, the Pirates will be in the midst of an arduous, 10-game road trip against the New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. The voyage will span 5,200 miles and four time zones with no days off.
So how big is this six-game homestand against the Orioles and Washington Nationals? Huge.
"It's not like we're more urgent now than we were at the start of the season," Hurdle said. "We just need to play better. Now, how do we do that? That's where the focus needs to be."
It would help if the Pirates stopped falling behind early.
"We need to be a little more proactive about getting things done," Hurdle said. "One of the things we do well is, we battle. Unfortunately, we've been playing a lot more games than we'd like uphill at this point in the season."
The Pirates have been outscored 144-96 over the first six innings. Some of that is due to defensive lapses. Some of it is the result of blown chances at the plate.
The biggest culprit, though, is poor starting pitching.
The most startling stat might be this: Through 44 games, Pirates starters have produced five wins, easily the lowest figure in the majors.
"We've had a lot of discussion about that," Hurdle said, adding that the topic was on the agenda again in Tuesday's pregame strategy session.
Whatever he said didn't work.
Left-hander Francisco Liriano (0-4) has gone 10 starts without a victory. It's his longest dry spell to start a season since 2012, when he put up five losses and a no-decision before being moved into the Minnesota Twins' bullpen.
On Tuesday, Liriano needed 99 pitches to get through five innings and allowed six runs on nine hits.
"I left too many pitches in the middle of the plate," he said. "I missed my spots a lot. I couldn't (make) two good pitches in a row."
In the third, the Pirates gave Liriano a 1-0 edge by stringing together three singles off righty Miguel Gonzalez (2-3). However, they managed only five hits over the final six innings.
"We've got to keep hitting the ball hard and not just rely on those one or two times we hit it hard in (run-scoring) situations," catcher Chris Stewart said. "If we do that, we'll eventually find some holes and score some runs."
The lead evaporated in the fourth. With one out and runners on first and second, Liriano tried to get ahead of J.J. Hardy by throwing back-to-back changeups. Hardy fouled off the first one, then dumped the second into center field for a run-scoring single.
An infield single by Jonathan Schoop loaded the bases. Caleb Joseph, the No. 8 batter with an .083 average, walked on six pitches to force in the go-ahead run.
In the fifth, back-to-back home runs by Chris Davis and Nelson Cruz put the Orioles up 6-1.
Davis also went deep in the seventh and ninth innings — three home runs and five RBIs on a total of four pitches in those innings.
"The first ball I hit, I just tried to stay through it and get on top of it," Davis said. "After that, I just tried to look for the ball, see it and hit it. Earlier today in (batting practice), I felt like it clicked for me, and it showed up in the game."

1. What does me liking Sherlock Holmes got to do with anything? 2. I've never seen Dragonlance. I was just posting my impression based on the trailer. I don't know whether the story is original or an adaptation of something, but that's what it looked like to me. *shrug*
These books were written 100 years ago, and if anything, George Lucas and James Cameron were the ones borrowing from Burroughs. Besides, the only reason Lucas put a damn blood sport arena in Attack of the Clones was because he saw how much money Ridley Scott's Gladiator brought in and figured "Hey, nerds will love this if I make it bigger, louder, and with lightsabers." As for Avatar...the humans arent taking over Martian bodies. So that argument is null and void.
1. Both are adaptations of pulp classics. 2. But I'm sure you understood what I meant, right? Ah, the arrogance of the wilfully ignorant.
The books may have been written a hundred years ago. The problem is the movie is being made now. It looks like a total composite. The director doesn't get to say, "These books were written before Avatar, etc." and have the audience memory wiped. I can't believe they didn't think to at least try and have it not look so much like existing material.
Once again: should Peter Jackson have changed the look of the elves because they had become omnipresent in popular culture thanks to Dungeons & Dragons? No, right? I'm glad it might look to the uneducated in the works of Burroughs like a composite: it just shows how many storytellers have drank from his fountain. The movie might be a piece of crap, sure, but it's not going to be because Lucas decided to have his own Barsoom with Geonosis.
Agreed. Though isn't the "look of the elves" in LotR, insofar as their ears are concerned, somewhat contentious?
That's a big stretch though... No one looked at the LOTR trailer and said, "That looks exactly like.. " It's not fair that this looks like an Avatar (which sucked anyway) ripoff with AOTC for good measure but it does. I'm not questioning the creative decision, just the business one.
Sure, it's a brave decision, but what else can you do, other than not shooting the movie? Changing it beyond recognition? Making a movie inspired by A Princess of Mars? I wouldn't throw a fit if they had done that, but I'm glad thy went with a close adaptation: the material is absurdly cinematic for its age. It deserves to be known by a major audience. And who knows, maybe the Avatar comparisons are going to help the movie more than hurt it. Time will say.
TBH the advertisement around here is actually what made me want to see the film...I had been hesitant beforehand. Not that I think they've handled it well overall. They should have started with just John Carter, and ended with that as the title. Because the posters look so badass when that's all they say with no hint of anything else.
I like the official trailers and I like the fanmade trailer linked above. I read two John Carter books in my youth and I'm keen on seeing the film version, which I think looks spectacular. Incidentally, my wife, who never heard of John Carter, was impressed by the trailer enough to want to see the movie. That's the definition of effective marketing.
I think Disney is already looking to write this off some how. Early reviews haven't been to favorable, and some say the budget ballooned from it's 175 million to like 250. I really don't see this movie making it's money back. Maybe going animated would have been a better route.
My hope escalated once I learned that Andrew Stanton directed it, but yeah...maybe this will prove that he should stick with animated features. Still...it might be good.
What's interesting is that no JCers posted their thoughts on the movie here. lol I guess no one saw it.
I saw it with my son and his best friend. It was a brilliantly rendered, beautiful movie with a good (if hardly fresh) storyline. We loved it. The theater we watched it in was packed. It was a Saturday at a cinema cafe, though, and the audience was almost all families. I think the problem with the movie was that they couldn't decide who they were marketing the movie to. I was unfamiliar with the story so I never had any nerdgasms or anything. The whole "Mars" thing almost put me off completely since it just seemed kind of a silly idea today. Btw, for this reason, I think it'd be a terrible idea to make Stranger in a Strange Land without taking some serious artistic license with the original story. At the end of the day, I watched this movie for the same reason I watched Prince of Persia--it was the closest thing to interesting to watch on the weekend in question. But like I said, it was fun.
I've read the two Barsoom novels ages ago and found them a bit dry. They seem a tad naive nowdays, however considering they've been written almost a century ago, it is a pretty cool concept. And I wouldn't mind seeing the SF cliches that were inspired by Burroughs in the first place; cliches are cliches for a reason - if it wasn't appealing it would not have caught on to become a cliche. I'm going to see the film in a few days, expecting it to be entertaining at least, but not looking for something 'meaningful' or 'different'.
I watched it on opening day and was nearly bored out of my skull by the bad exposition, uninteresting characters and dreary writing. It's not like I went in wanting not to like it; in spite of all the bad press, I was kind of hoping it would be OK. Sadly, it wasn't. This was also the first time I ever noticed other viewers walking out halfway through the movie on an IMAX theater. The latest box office figures seem to confirm it's going to have a very brief run in theaters - it was down by about 60% on the 2nd weekend, and with "Hunger Games" coming out next Friday, I don't think it's got much of a chance domestically. The article posted earlier suggested there was still a chance the movie would not be such a huge money loser for Disney; though the prospects of a sequel seem decidedly bleak at the moment. But, who knows? Maybe they'll create a "John Carter" ride for the theme parks?
possibly the worst movie I have seen this year. The previous post explained the major flaws in it. The worst is that it was boring. That is unforgivable.
I went to see it on opening night and then again this weekend. I loved it, I didn't find it boring, in fact I get bored really easily in movies and this one didn't bore me at all. I didn't mind the "cliches." Actually the story felt a lot fresher than I was expecting considering how influential the books were on science fiction. I thought the story moved along at a nice clip and the action was fun, there were a couple of really amusing moments where I laughed pretty hard - the sequence of John getting increasingly more incarcerated as he tried to attack Brian Cranston, and the bit with him learning to walk/leap on Mars, along with every time the Tharks called him "Virginia" . I loved Dejah tons, and I thought Taylor Kitsch and Mark Strong did a great job, the effects were great, I didn't have any problems with the CGI like I was expecting to (I saw it in 2D, not sure if the 3D was worth it). It reminded me a lot of Prince of Persia, which was one of my favorite movies of 2010, a fun, easy to watch, family-friendly sci fi action flick with insanely attractive leads.
I completely agree with Dani on everything. I will also add that I can't recall a movie since maybe Mr. & Mrs. Smith that offered equal amounts of eye-candy wrapped in pretty-damned good acting for both genders. Lynn Collins and Taylor Kitsch are two of the most beautiful people I've seen on screen in a long time. And they're completely believable and entertaining actors, too.

We Are Birds – California Bird Singing Documentary
Producers Albert and Larisa Chacon talk about the direction that We Are Birds Documentary Project is continuing towards….
Dr. Broyles Chacon shares her view on the public's knowledge of the Birds…
"What I'd like to tell them (the public) that; in their own backyards, There are so many Rich cultures that they have NO IDEA of…and there's so much variation.. that it's a shame that they don't know what's really going on… and that they should make an effort to try and find out as much as they can about the people that are not only their neighbors but were the original people living here, and who ARE STILL HERE!
….They aren't people who died out a long time ago… even though that what they(the public) may have Learned.
California Indians exist, and they are EVERYWHERE here!" Larisa Broyles Chacon Phd – Anthropology
We Are Birds Documentary will feature a variety of Head Birdsingers , from Experienced Tribal Leaders and Preservationists to the First people in their tribe to restart birdsinging in their communities where there had been no birdsinging before.
The We Are Birds Documentary will feature all of these views and in between, with each person telling their own story from their own perspective of why preservation is important and what it means to them as an individual.
What is Bird Singing?
From WeAreBirdsMoview.com:
Birdsinging is a form of music traditionally sung by the First Americans of the southwest. These rhythmic songs accompanied by handmade gourd rattles are known to have been out here for at least 10,000 years, although according to oral tradition, they are even older, perhaps even 25,000 years old! These songs of our earliest ancestors are still sung by our people today. Locally, the Cahuilla peoples have a birdsinging tradition that honors each day of the year, with a body of songs numbering over 365.
In addition, the Creation Story tells of a time when we were all birds, and flew three times around the world before finding a permanent home in what is now Southern California. To honor this flight, bird songs are traditionally sung over a period of three days. Other groups around the Cahuilla people traditionally shared our songs and sang and shared their own, along with other traditions, which has given the southwestern Natives a long history of cultural connectedness. Bird songs have become a linkage between neighboring tribes and between generations, and are the heart of a growing revitalization movement demonstrating that cultural loss is not the only story to be told about Native Americans.

B. Police fails,
Well, no matter what your pleasure, lets explain a little bit behind this gem of a video.
The topless women running down the street are members of FEMEN, a feminist activism organization, originally from the Ukraine, that fights against religious oppression, sex tourism, gender discrimination, and homophobia, among other grievances, but are best known on the Internet for their lack of clothing.
Police reportedly arrested at least 25 FEMEN protesters this weekend during a rally in support of fellow FEMEN member Iana Zhdanova, who was convicted for "sexual exhibitionism" in a French court on Oct. 15 for stabbing a wax statue of Russian President Vladimir Putin with a wooden stake while topless, with the words "Kill Putin" painted across her breasts.

Great background noise.
Very nice. Thank you.
very warm and soft, i like it.
Sounds like a good sample, all though I have so far yet to download it. Iwould have thought it belonged in the rain pack... and no, I am afrade I am not v ery good at identifying birds.
Thank you. This will go nicely with my Scotland slide show.
Nice sample... i could definitely use it for something atmospheric like a smooth song because the sounds of the birds tweeting comes through very well
you obviously misspent your time in one of the un-motorized by-carriages of the S-Bahn, thus completely missing the exiting sound of 800V direct current motors which are especially typical for older (Stadtbahn-)trains. Only once towards the end one briefly hears an E481 (new and on electronic motor steering) through an open door. Too bad!
takes me right there! cheers mate
Zozzy (exiled brit in switzerland)
Perfect, thanks so much!
just exactly what i needed thanks
Beautiful recording.
Ahh - nostalgia - reminds of so many days in Scotland working or on holiday. There is no rain like Scottish rain!
Nice! Great ambiance. Lots of low frequency rumble in this one :)
You have a great recording location there, thanks for sharing.
Sorry, New Zealand (I have no idea where Zew Zeland is :)
Sounds like Zew Zeland to me :) Nice example of the 'field-recording' genre!
Nice, I always appreciate a detailed description and geotag too, thanks :)
Me too!
This is wonderful as it is, as you say, a rare thing to witness never mind be able to record. While it is great to have the complete event here I think you should edit this down into some smaller sections as it is a huge file which will deter a lot of people from downloading. Great upload though!
this is perfect, makes one think it was done with a parabolic dish (but the pigeon background demonstrates it was not)
loved it, thanks !
This is excellent. Thank you.
Sounds great, I'm going to use it for meditation.
Yes - a kind of paradise. It is amazing to hear the wren so clearly as well as the wings of what I reckon must be wood pigeons.
Well, no filter or anything, just the gear I mentioned. : )
looking for North Berwick found this great photo of Bass Rock, ever been there?
Beautiful, impressive recording indeed. And amazingly clean, did you filtered out low freqs in some way during post, or was it naturally this clean? At 6 min I can hear wing fluttering (and a plane overheading at 7 min), but other than that there is no background hum noise so I'm at a loss. And the gear you used has no low-cut filters to my knowledge. Then?
qué bonito, how nice! Lucky guy, with this bird so close it sounds like you live in paradise.
Very, very lovely sounds. I especially like the sounds with birds added in.
Superb clip, though a little quiet. This is perfect for my next audio podcast of 'Cat and Cthulhu'. http://www.catandcthulhu.com/site/archives/48
Many thanks.

Need a lift? When we first learned about a new product that mechanically lifts servers for placement into a rack, we were tempted to joke about the physical strength — or perhaps lack of it — of information technology administrators.
But workplace injuries are no laughing matter, and servers are heavy, bulky and often placed in racks taller than most people. People are susceptible to injuries, and the data on a server can be lost if someone drops it.
That's why Ergonomic Data Solutions International recently introduced an electric server lift, the first and only one on the market today, according to the company. The General Services Administration and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration have approved the ServerLift SL500.
"One gentleman dropped an 80-pound server on his foot," said Derrick Potter, vice president of Ergonomic Data Solutions. "Not only was he injured, but the server was damaged and the company lost a lot of data."
The lift, which sits on wheels for portability, is a vertical mast with a horizontal shelf attached. The server sits on the shelf, which can be raised as high as eight feet above the floor. Cleverly, the shelf's surface can move horizontally six inches in either direction to place the server in the rack or retrieve it for removal.
The SL500 can lift a maximum of 500 pounds, but if the platform is shifted to the side, the maximum weight the unsupported end can hold is 300 pounds.
A foot-activated stabilizer brake keeps the lift from moving when in use, and eight corner-bumpers protect it from damage.
A rechargeable deep cycle sealed Absorption Glass Mat battery powers the SL500.
You can also use the SL500 to lift devices including uninterruptible power supplies; keyboard, video and mouse switches; and PBX systems.
GI, phone home Disaster areas and combat zones are not friendly environments for telephones, but now there's a phone that can boldly go where no phone has gone before — at least, no IP phone.
The new 7960 EnviroXtreme Rugged Phone from Coleman Technologies is the first rugged IP phone on the market.
The company worked with Cisco Systems to develop the phone, which is a ruggedized version of Cisco's 7960 IP phone. Both phones have the same functionality and compatibility, but the EnviroXtreme phone can withstand harsh environments.
Cisco's CallManager call-processing software provides security, and although the EnviroXtreme phone was designed for use with this software, you can use it with any Session Initiation Protocol-enabled IP telephony system.

Rain delays roadwork on Poplar in Germantown
Misty weather Monday morning may have made for a miserable route along Poplar on the west side of Germantown, but at least there wasn't the planned road construction.
Installation of a culvert that was going to cause lane closures near Poplar Estates was delayed by rainy weather. The work is scheduled to resume Tuesday and run through Wednesday.
Crews are replacing a 70-year-old corrugated pipe that has deteriorated.
Eastbound traffic on Poplar will not be allowed to turn left onto Poplar Estates, while westbound traffic cannot turn north onto Chatsworth. The limitations are scheduled for 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
So, whatever route you were planning to use Monday morning to avoid the area, use it Tuesday and Wednesday.

4 Different to anything i've read before - really goodEssJayDee | 11/10/2007 | See all EssJayDee's reviews (12)An odd experience when reading this book - it isn't particularly about anything, not a great amount happens, it isnt absolutely fantastic, yet i couldn't stop reading it! It was so different to anything i had come across before i was compelled to keep turning the page.One thing Iain Banks does brilliantly is describe the scene to you, every time i could almost feel myself standing in the shoes of the character, such were the beautiful images cast upon you.One thing that should be made clear is that the book isnt for those easily offended or squeamish, the graphic depictions of some things in it can get to you - again credit is due to the author for this.As i commented before the book is very different to anything i have seen or read before, i could almost call it odd or weird, which i suppose it is, but in a way i liked it, with the subject matter and story line being way off from the usual books i would read.All in all i would recommend this book to anyone who has an open mind and enjoys new reading experiences.Not quite sure why still, but i thoroughly enjoyed it!
5 Creepy and unsettling - excellent horrorThomas25 | 15/06/2010 | See all Thomas25's reviews (9)This is a truely witty peice of writting, it will make you laugh at the unconventional.
5 Brilliant!treacle | 04/05/2009 | See all treacle's reviews (4)My first Iain Banks novel, but definitely not my last! The storyline and the characters are odd, but this just makes the book more enthralling. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down as I was eager to see how it all turned out, resulting in a couple of nights with very little sleep as I couldn't stop turning the pages! It is well written and the descriptions are so clear you feel like you are there. If you are considering buying this book- just do it, it's well worth it.
5 Wow...thatsleepygirl | 30/07/2008 | See all thatsleepygirl's reviews (133)This book is one of the best I've ever read. It's about a young man, Frank who lives on an isolated island with his father. Frank murdered three people when he was younger and his life is complex and quite unusual to say the least. The plot has twists and turns and a huge surprise at the end! If you like darker stuff with gothic and murder themes, then definitely check this out. I really loved it and would recommend it to all.
5 A great 1st novelSuperdude53 | 31/07/2007 | See all Superdude53's reviews (11)A brilliant, nasty book. This is the 1st book I have read by Iain Banks and it won't be the last.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - Langston Morris-Walker made a go-ahead layup with 26 seconds left, lifting Oregon State over No. 7 Arizona on Sunday night for its first win over a Top 10 team since 2000. Arizona's T.J. McConnell missed an off-balance shot with 1 second left, and Oregon State fans rushed the court at Gill Coliseum. Morris-Walker had 12 points and eight rebounds, and Gary Payton II had 10 points and nine rebounds for the Beavers (11-4, 2-1 Pac-12). McConnell had 13 points and six assists, and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 14 points for the Wildcats (14-2, 2-1), the third top-ranked team to lose Sunday. No. 2 Duke lost to N.C. State and fourth-ranked Wisconsin was defeated by Rutgers.
The University of Arizona Women's Tennis team took a break from the playing courts to give back to the Tucson community, as the Wildcats teamed up with Habitat for Humanity and helped construct homes for the less fortunate on Saturday.
The Wildcats trailed by just three points at the half, but in the end No. 18 Arizona State proved to be a little too much, as Arizona fell 71-54, Saturday night at Wells Fargo Arena.
Wildcats lose to No. 4 Alabama in season opener.
The Wildcats and Sun Devils will clash for the second time in three days, as Arizona takes on rival Arizona State, Saturday at 6 pm MST in Tempe.

T.J. McConnell scored a season-high 21 points and Stanley Johnson added 14 to lead No. 7 Arizona over Oregon 80-62 on Thursday night.
Senior guard Candice Warthen led the Wildcats in scoring for the ninth time this season, while junior guard Keyahndra Cannon shot 50 percent from the field, but it wasn't enough, as Arizona fell to No. 18 Arizona State, 88-41, Thursday night at McKale Center.
Senior shortstop Kellie Fox was named to the U.S. Women's National Team on Thursday
Collegiate Baseball named Arizona's middle infield tandem of Kevin Newman and Scott Kingery to its Louisville Slugger Preseason All-American teams announced in December.

Hello Gary: Man you know you have my curiosity aroused big time. The way I have shown this lineage has been accepted for a very long time but who knows just maybe something is not correct and I would really appreciate your sending me an e-mail at email@example.com concerning your thoughts. Just maybe you may be untangling a real Williams problem. John Sr. and Jr. have been debated pro and con for some time but we feel good on our proof on William.I would also appreciate it if you could send along a good bit of detail on John, Jr., the Weavers and why William was not a Revolutionary soldier. Looking forwards to your reply and thanks for your contact. Lee Williams. |

Overall, it was a place to sleep. Overall, it was overpriced.
It was ok. Not a great location. But a place to crash before going into NYC.
Location is good frindley staff
Water leak at the bathroom ; the food tray was in the hallway for 2 days
Breakfast was great, front staff was great at accommodating simple requests prior to our stay. Room was exactly as described.
Housekeeping was inconsistent - bathrobes would go missing, sheets were shorted once, some days extra toiletries were left and other days they would take them away, trash was not always taken out.
The updates to the rooms were very nice. Everything was clean and comfortable. Looks like they are trying to clean up their appearance.
There were cops patrolling like it was a murder scene. Made me uncomfortable. A cab driver told me that they're trying to cut down on the heavy prostitution that went on before.
The staff in the front was nice and helpful. I liked the remodel and upgrades. My favorite thing was the complimentary travel issues. Sounds funny but I did.
I think it needs a plug station in the desk. And the plugs that the guy talks about on the TV about the hotel isn't what he says it is. They didn't have enough plugs and they had one if the plugs. Being used by the light above the heAd board
I travel quite a bit and have been in many hotels. This one is by far the best I have I stayed at. The service of the front desk as well as the willingness of everyone on staff to make your stay the best is what really stands out. It is located in a great spot and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again the next time I'm in NYC.
Very friendly and accomodating staff. Received a complimentary glass of wine immediately upon my arrival. Nice after 10 hrs on the road. Very good vibe. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, good location.
The hotel was a bit hard to find despite having a GPS. Not really, the hotels fault, I guess. The bathroom wall was made of a transluscent mosaic panel, which did not offer much privacy. Ended up doing our business with the bathroom lights off most of the time. While this may not be an issue for some, with 4 adults in the room it was definitely a bit awkward at times.
Fantastic location! Free parking! The bus to/from city is literally behind the hotel! They shuttle you to/from train station! Breakfast is good and free! Restaurants/shopping in mall. Cheaper and nicer than hotels in NYC. Never staying in NYC again.
I had to leave and go back to work.
Bus stop right outside the door to take you into city.
I wish that they would leave the coffee and tea out until around 11:00 so that you can grab a cup on your way out.
There was nothing there to like except a bed, a shower and air for a night.
This hotel did not even have as much as a bedside clock. There was absolutely nothing that one would expect as standard at this place.
The room, the staff, the restaurant, the green roof .
The bar at the roof is a happening place and i had my young daughter!
We traveled to NYC to watch a friend run in the NYC Marathon. The Kitano was walking distance to Grand Central Station. The staff was pleasant and very helpful. We asked to store or bags, because we arrived several hours early. They were able to have a room available for us within 10 minutes. The room was great. We would definitely stay again and recommend it without any reservation.
Location was excellent - great for for shopping in midtown. Staff was very helpful and customer-oriented. Room was on the small side but well laid out. Hotel restaurant has live music concerts.
Room was nice, very clean. Shower was great. Loved the ambiance. Really in the heart of everything. Amazing Cuban restaurant right next door, stone's throw away from Central Park and Times Square. Would definitely stay again.
Only one outlet in the room had enough power to charge my phone. It was odd. I tried it with other phones as well, to be sure it wasn't just me. It wasn't. Only one worked. This would have been a problem if I were with others in the room.
This hotel was in the best location. It was close to Central Park and. Subway stop.

Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
