Korg delivers the ultimate sonic arsenal with a full line of keyboards, synthesizers, tuners, sound modules and music workstations for every application.
If you're a gigging keyboardist then the SP-280 delivers a range of sounds in a portable package and their KingKorg offers 50 years of synth sounds in a single unit.
When only fully analogue will do then the Volca Series and MS-20 Mini synths have reinvented classic tones. While the ever popular MicroKorg packs a punch with something for every genre in a mini keyboard.
On stage, in the studio and at home with the Korg SV-1 & Wavedrum
"The SV-1 is my primary practice keyboard," says Jamie, "so it's the first thing my tour manager puts in my dressing room in the morning – I walk in and it's there! This is the first tour it has been on, so I'm not yet using it live, but I'm sure it is going to end up on stage by the end."
The Korg instrument Jamie plays most on stage is his WaveDrum, which has been used throughout each gig of the current tour. Off stage, however, it also plays an important role in the studio. "I am very fond of getting loops and drum beats going to write over," explains Jamie, "and quite often, I start with a WaveDrum loop and improvise to a click for five minutes. It's so creative because it speaks to the way I work, which is to improvise. You can hit almost any part of it and get a sound!

The new Korg LP-380 73 has no match when it comes to versatility, sound, size and price - a slim, affordable Digital Home Piano that features 73 weighted keys and which perfectly captures the sound and feel of a grand piano...

Korg have announced their new range of LP380 73-key digital pianos. Affordable, stylish and ideal for the home.

For over 50 years Korg have been perfecting the art and science of synthesis. The new Kronos models bring together years of experience for one of the most impressive synth workstations ever.

Argentine Assets 1 - Pedro Blanca and Rodrigo Sanz
Handsome Rodrigo Sanz meets adorable Pedro Blanca at a parade and the two hook up and find a private bedroom where they start with some mutual kissing and cocksucking. Then Rodrigo puts Pedro ass up on a pile of pillows and eats it out. The highlight of the scene is when the two studs fuck, with Rodrigo sliding his enormous schlong into Pedro's smooth, brown hole from behind. The camera closes in on the penetration as Pedro's well-lubed tunnel of love gets thoroughly reamed out by Rodrigo's uncut pole. Rodrigo plows into Pedro missionary while Pedro pumps out a big load of cum, and then the two studs go back to deep-kissing as Rodrigo brings himself off, leaving a trail of cum that goes up his taut torso to his chest.
The Best Of Ramon Mendez - Ramon Mendez and Rodrigo Jacques
Our shy voyeur burly Brazilian Ramon finally finds himself alone in the pool to do power laps. His solitude is shattered by the splash of hot super muscular porn star, Rodrigo Jacques and promptly a battle of the bods begin as to which beauty is hotter. It doesnt seem to matter. The two big-dicked muscle hunks affectionately suck, lick, pose, and kiss each other until they lead each other hand in hand behind a hidden statue nook. We are then treated to Ramon s bubble-boy butt as he prepares Rodrigos puckered opening. Grasping onto the statue for dear life, Ramon continues to drill his juicy cock deeper into the even juicier ass of Rodrigo. Finally, the lion statue is glazed by the white varnish of their bone-anza and Ramon finally gets what his earlier timidness almost prevented him from getting, as they jump into the turquoise pool to wash off their sweat and cum.

No deal on Medicaid expansion
Democrats and Republicans agreed on many issues but months of negotiations among Gov. Maggie Hassan's office, and House and Senate leaders failed to close the gap and this week the talks degenerated into partisan bickering.
Different plans
Senate Republicans proposed a plan to move all new Medicaid recipients to private health insurance purchased through the federal marketplace in one year, while Democrats proposed a two-year transition period.
"We are not going to pass something akin to Obamacare that does not protect the taxpayers," said Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro. "Without the reform, without changes to bring personal responsibility, without bringing taxpayer protections into the Medicaid system, we cannot support any compromise put forward."
Hassan in turn blamed Senate Republicans for failing to pass expansion, saying they refused to compromise, costing the state millions of dollars of federal money.
The House passed the Democratic Medicaid expansion bill on a mostly party line vote of 198-146 after more than five hours of debate and votes on five proposed Republican amendments as well as several GOP procedural moves designed to delay the vote.
Originally 28 Republican amendments were proposed, but most were withdrawn when it became apparent Medicaid expansion was not going to be approved.
House Miniority Leader Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, however, said, "There are many questions still outstanding on this issue. This is the wrong time and the wrong bill for the State of New Hampshire."
O'Brien maintained that portions of the bill were not "germane" to a House special session rule requiring that all sections of the bill deal with Medicaid expansion.
Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, R-Manchester, moved to indefinitely postpone the bill, but his motion failed, 159-195.
Rep. John Hikel, R-Goffstown, moved to adjourn the session, but was voted down, 144-211, before the House finally began debating the bill.
The Senate first voted down the Republican proposal from Senate President Chuck Morse, R-Salem, when three Republicans — Sens. Sharon Carson of Londonderry, Russell Prescott of Kingston and Andy Sanborn of Bedford — joined Democrats for a 14-10 vote.
Next step
After the Senate session Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, said the state's citizens deserve more from their Legislature.
Rep. Neal Kurk R-Weare, called the bill unaffordable and asked for work on a "reasonable compromise" in the full legislative session beginning in January.
One of seven states
New Hampshire is one of seven states that have yet to decide whether to expand Medicaid. To date, 25 states plus Washington, D.C., have decided to expand Medicaid and 18 have rejected expansion.
The state's health care providers would be paid $2.4 billion over seven years for the health care of the 49,000 state residents expected to be eligible under expansion.

"a homeless person..." at nº 9? how do you know?
How about a close-up?
Many people like to talk about their abstract idea of Brasilia, not the living and working city itself.
This way, a lot of misconcepts and prejudices get in the way of a real discussion about the city's strengths and weaknesses.
I've lived in Brasilia long enough to call it my place (along with one or two other cities). It is a bright, sane, very liveable city.
It is very young, of course, so it makes no sense to expect a kind of urban life and culture other cities took centuries to develop. On the other hand, one of the joys of living there was to watch and take part in the building of Brasilia's identity and sense of civic pride.
Young people love it, its open spaces, big sky and sense of freedom. They feel it is their city, they are creating it, without having to bother with centuries-old traditions (I sense this will be a long post — I beg your pardon).
They make poetry, music, theater, video and movies about living in the town's unique environment. Did you know that some of the best young "choro" musicians — an improvised, very demanding form of Brazilian instrumental music — live in Brasilia?
My own children were born there, and won't take lightly any negative remarks about the town — they'll have a sharp rebuke always ready.
Niemeyer's buildings are an integral part of Brasília. The Cathedral, for instance: it is a beautiful space, full of light and much beloved by the townspeople.
Believers and non-believers like to go there from time to time just to have a few quiet moments for themselves. That's how a place of worship should be.
Contrary to what some peolple say — that Niemeyer's buildings are no more than beautiful sculptures — the best among them, from the inside, feel much like Brazil's best colonial architecture. Not like a pastiche of form, of course. But the "living experience" can be similar: airy, serene, cool spaces, bathed in soft natural light. They shelter, but they don't isolate you from the tropical outside.
So, I think it is a bit too early to make definitive judgements about Brasilia and Niemeyer.
The city is still in its adolescence — always a troubled time — but it is very much alive and full of energetic young people. And Niemeyer's buildings? Some os the most recent are not up to his earlier standards, for sure. But in my opinion, the best ones are ageing very well. Let's wait some more time.
You could add to your reasoning that according to the recently published Mercer's ranking of the cities with highest quality of life Brasília was ranked as the most livable large city in Brazil, and the FGV's Index of Social Development ranked Brasília as the best capital to live in Brazil (by far, actually), so it seems it is not as inhumane and difficult to live as some prejudiced people like to say after seeing some photos or visiting the city for a few days.
Quite an attempt to romanticize a very boring city.
Besides, no one can deny that the Superquadras
(super sized residential blocks) have just a handful
of stores nested between them. It tells two things
about Brasilia.
1)It was poorly planned as far as store/resident scalability,
and a sure sign that a Communist designed it.
2)In keeping with Brazil's Elites syndrome, only a few
insiders storekeepers(very likely connected with the govt)
would set up store there.
3)Brasilia may have concrete curves, but very little in
real entertainment for draw visitors in. It is undisputed
that most residents leave on the weekends. Government Officials
on their three day work schedules spend more time out of Brasilia
than most.
The let's wait refrain is B.S. Other Capitals did not need
50 years to show their fun.

Niemeyer did nothing to end favelas
Pablo Escobar built houses for the poor.
Pablo was not even an architect
Like Brazil, Oscar Niemeyer does not deserve accolades.
1)He was a devout Communist. His "masterpieces"
are filled with Communist images.
*JK Memorial
(shaped like a Hammer and Sickle)
*Brasilia shape itself
(Shaped like a Hammer and Sickle - see link above)
*Superquadras (Super Residential Blocks) are Soviet inspired.
Boring, drab, and pedestrian.
*In keeping with Brazil's pechant for elites, he provided
no room for store expansion between these massive super
residential blocks.
The link above show the micro lojas (micro stores) that only
a few connected/favored/insiders would be able to have a
capivated market. Compare that with the U.S. where infrastructure
such as roads is built with room for big box stores and strip
malls for mom and pop styled businesses.
Brasilia is not a destination like Paris, London, Berlin,
Taipei, Washington D.C. Brasilia is a boring city void of
interesting sites. Most Brazilians don't on vacation there.
Brasilia inhabitants leave the city on weekends to lakes and
other places away from the capital.
Why the accolades on a man with mediocre skills at best?
Why the accolades on a Communist???
Why praise a city that has no soul and no attractions like
Paris and London???????????????????????
Brazil is no longer growing at 7.5%. Its current growth
is much lower than Colombia. How about praising Bogota instead
Your mind is so narrow.
What dou we want to accolade, the liberalism? The ideology that take us into the crisis?
Why all those prejudice with others countries and ideologies, he was a great architect, better than most of the northamericans ones.
I think you should open your mind, EUA as all others empires that the world already had will not be in top forever.

If capitalists have narrow minds, then...
....Communists like Niemeyer have broad minds? hahahahaha....
The number of shops located between the Superquadras
is limited by space. Mind you, Brazil is a huge country.
Only a few could own one. That is why Brasilia outskirts
have grown much larger than the capital proper, and without
zoning laws and a vision towards commercial spaces for a
growing population.
Most Communists hailed from wealthy families or near well
to do families. Fidel Castro and Niemeyer are such examples.
These people have continuously believed in limiting the masses
while controlling the wealth and power.
Niemeyer was a mediocre architect by global standards.
I seriously doubt it that he could match Moshe Safdie
in building something like Sands Singapore. Just lifting
the aircraft carrier like deck on top of the three towers
was a massive feat. Check out the infinity edge pool and
the garden atop of the Sands. Have you noticed that Niemeyer
has no gardens in his "Masterpieces?" At least Burle Marx
did a fabulous job at Collor de Mello's Estate. No, I am
not a fan of Collor. I am a fan of Marx (not Karl Marx, but
Burle Marx).
Brazil's economic miracle is not happening right now.
That's what happens when economies suffer from Brazil's
disease (dependency on commodities, Custo Brasil (Brazil
Cost, endemic corruption, lack of vision, elitism, cheap
propaganda and other vain mindsets leading to nothing in
the end).
When you see his buildings in person, they are a lot smaller than one has imagined. They seem almost dated in many instances, and like movie sets.
The buildings photograph well. He did inspire many architects and perhaps in 40 to 50 years his buildings will find a new sense of beauty through their simplicity.
Would have been nice to know more about the man, his life and personality too. Was he married? Does he have children who have survived him? Too factual of an obituary for my likings.....
He was a Communist
"But for him communism was more
an abstract Utopia, than everyday politics."
I agree that his earlier works were genius, his later works not as inspired. Compare the Palacio do Planalto for example, with the Museum of contemporary art of Brasilia from 2006. The former is light and elegant and very functional...the latter is heavy, sullen, and not very functional. You can see many of his works in Brasilia here: http://andrewprokos.com/photos/locations/brazil/
Why bestow accolades on a city without a soul??????
Capitals that are destinations also.
Washington D.C.
Mexico D.F.
Can anyone (other than Brazilians)
even locate Brasilia on a map and mention some
major tourist attractions????????????????????????
Brasilia is a freaking boring city!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should visit Specsavers.
Your Anit-Brazil rhetoric is boring. Brasilia has long been celebrated in contemporary architectural circles. And for goodness sake, someone - who was NOT an enemy of humanity - died, show some respect or say nothing at all.
well, for some of us vast concrete structures are way more exciting than your vivid, touristy places.
Try reading J.G. Ballard to understand this.
It appears that at the bar of public opinion Nimeyer's designs now stand accused of having form but lacked functionality. It is all to easy to criticise architects for not paying due attention to the everyday uses to which buildings are to be put , and to how practical building are on the whole. Strictly speaking such charges are untrue although they are equally made against designers in general. If we observe nature, we will find much there that is superfluous , excessive and unnecessary and yet truly beautiful. Who cares about function if we can have form ? Wise women grasped this truth long ago, which is why they trump men every time.For all the pragmatic functional thinking of men, men always fall for the beautiful whims and whiles of the beautiful woman,who always trump. Women may be impractical , but men cannot do without them. Senseless and yet strong in their powerful potency. You see , much of life can be quite grey and grim ,( and )rather than condemn those who try to bring flashes of light into the ordinary and pedestrian, we should commend them. Indeed life is not perfect but to bring a sense of wonder into our daily lives and our living spaces , and shower them with sparkle and daring takes some courage and some dreaming. Niemeyer was one of those who tried and , in my opinion, succeeded in trying to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary for all his purported impracticality I still salute him , he did not do boring.
Um homem genial que lançou internacionalmente a arquitertura brasileira e que incentivou várias gerações de arquitetos.
There are Brazilian Architects that have been
recognized internationally while shunning at
home because they were not insiders.
As for Niemeyer "Masterpieces", it is nothing
but concrete bunker 'escorrido' coupled with
uninspiring Soviet styled buildings.
For a real example of what a real Architect
looks like, check out Moshe Safdie (Sands Singapore)
and Frank Gehry (Guggenheim Museum Bilbao).
What a ( very ) wonderful guy. My late father who was also an architect started working roughly at about the same time as Oscar Niemeyer . Niemeyer in Brazil , my (late) dad in Nigeria. Niemeyer was of course far more successful and fortunate to have been offered the projects he executed. I have in any case always admired his work, which was both innovative and revolutionary. Architecture is really for me the supreme profession , your work really stands for all to see , and that could be for centuries. Nimeyer had the good fortune ( as did my late father ) to shape the cities in which they lived at the time they did , which is very satisfying to both them and the people who knew them personally - although it does mean that others who come behind them , regardless of what they do, are unlikely to have the same impact as they did on the built environment in which they practised.
This obiturary , granted the announcement of Nimeyers death came just before The Economist went to print this week , has been too short to do justice to this great man. May he continue in heaven to design yet other great buildings.
Beautiful obituary.
I once heard a "compliment" of Brasilia being the only world capital where you could do a city tour at 50 miles an hour.
For me Brasilia, or "a Ilha de Fantasia" as it is many times referred to, has always felt like a cross between New Delhi and the Washington Mall. Form trumps function and Cement overpowers nature. I only thank God that Burle Marx was around to temper things down.
There is absolutely no doubt that Mr. Niemeyer has had such a large impact on this great country, although sometimes accentuating some of the (IMHO) not so positive aspects of its culture.
Brasilia is a city laid out in the shape of a plane (or butterfly) when seen from the air.
The only city that is purposedly designed for its appearance from space.
It would sound cool, except the design plans constrain life for its city occupants who must adhere to a 50 year old city blueprint that has not changed or evolved for the 21st Century. Aesthetics take precedence over commerce, culture, industry, or growth.
Art has its price.
Actually, doesn't Brasília "Proper", the Plano-Piloto, include only a part of the actual city nowadays? I was told Brasília "proper" is the home of only about 300,000 or 400,000 of its 2,500,000+ inhabitants, so theoretically the original city should be viewed nowadays as one of the many "old towns" preserved in so many cities around the world and where there are really restrictions to economy and growth, while the "cidades-satélite" would be the "new towns" of Brasília. For that to come true, of course, the city should be much more unequal than nowadays, because it seems the "cidades-satélite" (the other urban areas around Brasília) are much more carelesssly administered and receive much less investment (public and private) than the rich and notoriously organized, "historic" Brasília.
Perhaps a fair point. However if you go back to the 1950's and 60's bearing in mind the financial and technical constraints under which architects at that time worked , you would be charitable and give them credit for what some of them including Niemeyer were able to achieve. Granted some of the buildings from that era are hopeless and hideous, additionally some of them function very badly indeed, never-the-less some of these architects were bold and daring and were able , because of their vision to move the practice of architecture forward. I would have expected you in your comment to be more charitable. I usually endorse your comments and the way in which put them, however on this occasion I must say I am rather disappointed.
Better, the only time its worthwhile to view the city is above while you're on your way to somewhere useful.
For all intents and purposes the Plano Piloto and satellite cities are one city. The city was designed for maybe 400,000 people to live and work in. That certainly isn't the case anymore. The city might be bearable if 1/1,000,000 of the effort to design rectangles and blocks in the Plano Piloto had gone to building the satellite cities.
His buildings look great in photos however, it would have been much better for urbanism and for the majority of humans if he had just made small model versions and taken pictures. Then he could have left actual building design to architects who care to design things that are pleasing for people to actualy live with.
A not only disrespectful but grossly ignorant comment.
Firstly, the urban plan of Brasilia - which I assume you are referring to - was designed by Lucio Costa, Niemeyer designed the monumental buildings, the military complex and one of the residential block in the Super Quadras.
Have you been inside the Itamaraty Palace and seen the entrance hall and steps, or stood on the lawn of the Alvorado Palace? Maybe a trip to the roof garden of the Ministry of Health and Education in Rio? Maybe you could take a trip to one of the CIEP school designed pro bono for the children of Rio? While there you could visit the house he built in Canoas around a rock looking back over to Guanabara Bay towards the museum of modern art...
Niemeyer was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
I'm brazilian and former architecture student (haven't finished the course) and this comment resumes what I always thought about Niemeyer. With all due respect to his memoire and his passing, he's been more a plastic artist than properly an architect.
Sorry but buildings should be built on a human scale. How gracious of him to design the Brizolões (one of the ugliest school designs I have ever seen in all my travels), bro bono. It's the least he could do after all the money he has taken from the government to design garbage like the Sambodromo.
I think this is a fair comment about some of his work, especially his later work that has been driven more by younger family members try to milk his legacy. However from an architectural point of view many of his buildings are far more complicated than people understand from the "glory" photos in magazine. Brazilians should be immensely proud of his work.
If you are in a hole you should stop digging. Spatially the CIEP schools function extremely well, sorry if they are not mock tudor or look like Miami mansions.
If you judge artists by the piece of their work you like the least you aren't going to have a very enjoyable cultural life. It's like saying Tom Jobim was a terrible composer because of "Fascinating Rhythm"... an awful song...
Isn't exactly that what makes him one of the greatest architects? aren't buildings supposed to be plastic art? this certainly distinguishes him from the dysfunctional, over-hyped square boxes of the great marketing con-man: Le Corbusier.
Buildings are not supposed to be art. People need to live and work in and around buildings. Buildings can and even should have artistic details that please the humans that have to live and work in and around them, but the most important apsect of a building should be its ability to make life more pleasant for us humans on a daily basis. Not to look at, but to fit into the human environment on a human scale.
Of course buildings should make life more pleasant: they do that by being art. Art is not some abstract, theoretical thing best hidden from the masses in museums. If Oscar Niemeyer designed buildings that not only function well, but also brighten up the lives of those who visit them, work in them or metely pass by, then they are art works. That is what all architects should aspire to.
"Buildings are not supposed to be art."
Vitruvius, those anonymous medieval master builders, Brunelleschi, Leonardo, Wren, Viollet-Le-Duc, F.L. Wright, M. van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Barragán, Kenzo Tange and many others must be turning in their graves (Niemeyer has yet to be buried, the poor man) .
Just imagine, to learn after all this time that what they did with such love and genius is not art!
I would like to know your opinion about Sir Norman Foster or I Am Pei or other revolutionary architects. Also plastic artists? Who is a real architect in your opinion?
To a point I would agree.
Quoting the architect Jan Gehl "urban designers have put human needs in second place, behind the visual impact". People should start paying attencion not only to the "starchitects" but also to those ones who design thinking on actual human needs, like the brazilian Paulo Mendes da Rocha, who, just like Niemeyer, won the Pritzker prize.

Sorry for repeating the reply.
When I was in the architecture school teachers (and professors) said one of the biggest problem in executing Niemeyer buildings is how to make possible bringing his designs to reality, because they requires lots of steel and concrete to stay "floating in air" as the great architect wanted. And that costs money. I'm not saying a poor country like Brazil (yes, we were at that time and we still are poor) shouldn't have nice public buildings, but public spending must be rational to those with scarcity of resources, and transform "monumental" works of art into buildings isn't cheap. But the "great minds of mankind" usually don't think of money, I mean, economy of resources, because this is a boring and unimportant detail for them.
And we're talking about an architect who always, till death, declared himself a "comunist" (Fidel Castro's friend).
Want to know a great brazilian architect - not just a "starchitect" - see the work of Paulo Mendes da Rocha, also winner of the Pritzker prize.
If we want buildings which are merely functional , then we might as well get civil engineers to design and construct them , they are capable of doing just that. However buildings, as you rightly say, should possess and project other functions , not least of which is to inspire pleasure in the minds of those who behold them. Like a beautiful woman , a well designed building should be capable of transporting us towards rapture.
'A poor life this if full of care we have no time to stand and stare.'
Architectural/engineering gems are ones that marry functionality with beauty, simplicity and economy. The line is quite fine like the difference between the Golden Gate and the Ponte 25 de Abril.

Animal Print Inspo Part #2
In The Country
Just in
Knee Boots
I'm dreaming of the Gucci snakeskin boots worn on the runway and Anja Rubik in L'Express Style, but I'm definitely on the search for a knee boots not quite that pricey.. Hit me if you know of some that are equally as cool as the Gucci – that's gonna be a tough one I know..
Photos via style.com, fashiongonerogue.com and Another Magazine.
I'm so restless these days, but I'm aiming to concentrate and get started on The Alchemist, that I've borrowed from a dear friend.. If I can look like Fanny Francois in Lui Magazine while doing it, it would be great.

In The Country
Haven't been much out of bed the past days due to fever, but I'm dreaming of going to my country house to do long walks in the woods and on the beach. Getting blown off by the wind and indulge myself in Autumn – the seasons are changing..
Ladies of London
Can't get my hands down from this story styled by Jane How, photographed by Alasdair McLellan! So many statement jackets that could fit into my wardrobe just like that. The cast isn't too bad either, all the ladies of London and a lot of my favorite models gathered; Adwoa Aboah, Sam Rollinson, Cara Delevigne, Cosima Diamond & Cora Corre..
Strap Dress
Would do anything to get one of the metallic strap dresses from London-based brand Barbara Casasola. Just discovered it via @matchesfashion. It's definitelt worth to keep an eye out for.
Trending: Imitated Snake
Love these two looks from DSquared2, especially the jacket.

Should the forward planes be fixed or mobile? I have seen builders do both on this forum.
I was told once long ago that the aft planes really do all of the work. When the tail lifts the nose angles down. This puts the forward planes at a downward angle and the boat moves under the water. So there is no need for active forward planes.
But I see many builders make their forward planes active.
Which is best? For the avid and very active boat driver? Or for the newb? Or for someone who might only get his boat wet for one or two afternoons a year?
What about the ballast system? I get the feeling that most everyone has moved away from the Propel-powered ballast tanks to a recycling system. With the recycling system your dives are limited to the life left in the battery, right? When the tanks are filled the boat sinks to a state of slight positive buoyancy with "decks awash". Thrust is needed to give the diving planes flow and thus push the boat under water.
Then there is the variable ballast system (whose technical name escapes me at the moment ) In this system a piston alters the displacement of the WTC and thus the amount of water displaced. The boat is able to dive on tanks alone without having to have any thrust from the propeller acting on the diving planes. If calibrated right this system lets the driver "dial in" his depth. The piston moves in x amount and the boat sinks to depth A. The piston moves y amount and the boat sinks to depth B. The only disadvantage to this system would be loss of power or loss of signal. The boat won't naturally surface on its own as with the other system.
Again which is best for the newb, the dabbler or the "professional"?
I have a friend locally whose students built the variable displacement system in high school shop class. (I think an article was posted to the SCR too. How long ago I don't remember.) It worked very well. My friend said that they left the tank submerged for days and saw little leakage at all.
Thank you for reading my post! Please keep your answers simple please. So far I am an armchair admiral. I am finally building my boat even now. I will need to know whether or not to fix my forward planes or leave them mobile.

Made by SNK in 1999, it is considered to be Fatal Fury 4 by many. One of the best 2D fighters ever, featuring a VERY well balanced roster and rock-solid controls. Button mashing noobs have no chance at this game. Terry Bogard is the only 'old' SNK character here, although most of the other characters follow the same fighting styles as their predecessors (ie. Tizoc --> Raiden, and etc..). It is said to be set 10 years after the death of Geese Howard.

Kickass fighting game made by SNK. Basically "Fatal Fury 4", though the game has an entirely new cast of characters (with the exception of the immortal Terry Bogard). Though it still uses the old Neo-Geo hardware, it looks beautiful and has insane amounts of animation.

If that were Chicago, you would have had at least 50 sets of binoculars trained on you in a heartbeat! I travel there on business fairly frequently, with binoculars, and am convinced that the peeping toms only narrowly outnumber the exhibitionists. I once got caught by a peeping tom while I was peeping tomming, and we waved at each other. Might be the same situation in Atlanta. Nice video, as always! You're cute.

I woke up a little earlier than Jake and decided to enjoy the view for a while as I waited for him to wake up. I always seem to be extra horny first thing in the morning. I think it's because of those naughty dreams I have all night. Well, I had one hell of a dream that night and when I woke up with my pussy on fire I knew right away that I had to start the day off with a good hard fucking.....

The much underrated South album still features some undeniably classic killer cuts in Mandatory, Crooked Cross (sorry Jeff, it kicks!), Silent Scream, Ghosts, Spill and of course the title track. Sure miss those distorted gats though

This drone from the University of Virginia has a Nexus 5 brain, and costs $800 in materials to create. Of course, you'll need some other items to complete it (including a 3D printer), but there's no denying we're inching closer to a sky filled with UAVs.
On today's show, we jump on the hype train for THAW, MIT's seamless multiscreen project, watch a 3D-printing robot get omnidirectional wheels, and check out a drone that can be printed for just $800.
MIT improves its robo-cheetah by giving it the ability to bound and run around outside while untethered.

Top Definition
A game played with a group of people either outside at night or in a large, dark room. The goal of the game is to find the "ghost" and avoid getting tagged. Before the game begins, a "base" or safe zone is agreed upon. One person is chosen to be the "ghost" and hides while the others cover their eyes and count out loud to a specific number, usually to 45 or 50. After everyone is done counting, they go and try to find the ghost. If someone sees the ghost, they yell "ghost in the graveyard", and then everyone tries to run back to the base without getting tagged by the ghost. If nobody sees the ghost, then the ghost has two options. He/she can continue hiding, and then if someone gets close they can jump out to tag and scare that person. Or, the ghost can move around stealthily to try and confuse everyone. If someone is tagged, then they become the ghost for the next round. If nobody gets tagged, then the ghost hides again.

Hey Guy, you may have seen my post a while back asking about alfa hulls. Well I decided to go with the scale shipyards hull because it was the easiest for me to obtain.
Here she is:
The scribing detail on the hull is pretty good:
The hull came with a few scratches and a small piece of fiberglass missing on the tail. Nothing we can't fix though.
Here are the: bow-planes, bottom rudder, and aft planes
She's almost about the same size as my out of scale Dumas Akula
I started by first opening up the vent holes on the bottom. (I will come back and neaten these up with a file later on)
I'm thinking of running a caswell generic 2.5 WTC in her, which fits pretty well. If anyone has any suggestions on anything that I should do to improve my build, I'd love to hear about them.
On a side not, I've been looking over possible props for her, as she doesn't come with any, and I've found a couple options; but if anyone has a really good one they know of please tell me.

By Captain Dan Armitage--
The added protection of two consoles connected with a high, wrap-around windshield makes Tracker's WT models a popular design for anglers who face adverse fishing conditions.
The Tracker Pro Guide V-16 WT is built to accommodate anglers and their families who need to remain comfortable when boating in snotty weather and choppy, cold water conditions while employing a variety of fishing tactics. The boat also must be rugged, economical to operate, and affordable to buy.
Aluminum-hull boats 'rock!' when used as fishing platforms around obstacles consisting of granite, oak or limestone.
Construction Features
The Tracker Pro Guide V-16 WT's all-welded hull is built using two layers of .100 marine-grade 5052 aluminum alloy. The double-plated hull is braced by a longitudinal stringer system that is also welded into position along the full length of the boat's running surface and to the boat's extruded aluminum, corner-braced, box-beam transom.
The Pro Guide V-16 WT's deep-V aluminum hull features welded seams and pressed-in performance strakes. Note the simple rubber rub rail and large, one-piece nose cap.
A deep-V hull such as that found on the 16' (4.87 m) Tracker Pro Guide V-16 WT contributes to a boat's more comfortable ride in a chop. The exaggerated V forward helps part waves for a smoother ride while at the same time offering a deeper, roomier cockpit.
The V-16 WT's reverse-chine hull has 20-degrees of deadrise at the transom. That is deep for an aluminum boat in this size range.
Even the gunwales of the Pro Guide V-16 WT are heavy duty, constructed using a single piece of extruded aluminum to add to the boat's rigidity and strength. Some anglers prefer the tops of the gunwales to be flat to facilitate mounting bases for accessories such as rod holders and downriggers.
Tracker's Versatrack gunwale mounting system allows for securing accessories such as this tackle rack, as well as items including rod holders, cup holders, and downrigger brackets without drilling into the gunwale.
With an 88" (2.23 m) beam, the Pro Guide V-16 WT offers a cockpit that is both deep and broad for a 16' (4.87 m) boat.
The cockpit sole of the Tracker are built of pressure-treated marine-grade plywood and carry a limited lifetime warranty. They support six bases for three standard, adjustable pedestal seats with all-composite frames for added resistance to the elements. The lids on all compartments are flush-mounted, made of reinforced aluminum and wrapped in carpet with a tight fit.
Fishing Features
The Pro Guide V-16 WT's bow dash is simple and straightforward with dedicated receptacles for the standard bow-mounted trolling motor, the bow navigation light and even a drink. The boat comes rigged with a Minn Kota 12V, 42-lb. thrust PowerDrive foot-control trolling motor powered by an Interstate deep-cycle battery.
The forward deck is recessed to allow the extended height of the gunwale to provide some protection from wind and water and to keep gear contained in rough conditions. We'd like to see a snap-in panel offered between the consoles to complement the center windshield panel in shielding the cockpit from wind and spray while the boat is underway. I question the absence of a bow cleat for safely tying off an anchor line while fishing or to secure the boat's position in an emergency situation. But it is a simple matter for a dealer to add one.
The forward deck offers a three-tray tackle locker, two bulk storage lockers and the boat's 40-inch-wide livewell/baitwell. None of the boat's hatches, forward or aft, are lockable.
The combination bucketed baitwell/livewell has a volume of 23 gallons with separate lids for accessing the bait compartment or the "catch" well.
Anglers who rate fishing boats by the quality of their livewell systems will give high marks to the hybrid found on the Tracker Pro Guide V-16 WT. The tank is a one-piece, molded well with rounded corners to protect its occupants. The bait and the fish they catch are accommodated in water that is pumped, aerated, recirculated and drained with two 500 gph pumps with separate timers.
The Tracker Pro Guide V-16 WT comes with a Lowrance X50 fishfinder – and space atop the console for optional upgrades.
Comfort Features
The helm console offers legroom limited by the compartment that extends forward from the aft fishing deck. The basic dash has a tachometer, speedometer and a fuel gauge with toggle switch controls for lights, pumps and accessories.
The passenger console is equally tight-but-bearable with regard to legroom underneath and features a glove box dominated by the mounting panel for an aftermarket (neither are offered as options) VHF radio or stereo system.
Rod lockers that flank both sides of the cockpit create the limited legroom under each console. Note the reinforced lid, full-length piano hinge and carpeted interior, features found in both port and starboard rod lockers.
A storage locker on the starboard side of the raised rear deck has a raised lip to deflect water that breaches the reinforced lid.
Trolling, whether with downriggers, planer boards, flat lining or even back-trolling, is a popular tactic for taking fish from northern waters. That's why many of the most popular fishing boats – such as Tracker's Pro Guide models, offer so much space aft of the consoles to make room for rigging, angling, fighting and landing fish.
Note the transom cut-out to accommodate the primary outboard is not as deep as on some boats in order to keep water from coming aboard when back trolling. Also note that both the captain and companion are looking through the windshield and not at the windshield frame.
Power Options
Although rated to handle up to 90-hp, Tracker offers the 1,210-lb. (550 kg.) Pro Guide V-16 WT hull with a 50 ELPT 4-stroke Mercury outboard as an option. With this engine a Tracker spokesman told me that the boat will reach a top speed of between 26 to 28 mph. We have not tested the boat with this configuration, so we can not vouch for that speed range. But we did test it with the standard 60-hp Mercury 4-stroke engine and on test day we reached an average top speed of 30.1 mph. At the other end of the speed spectrum, a 25-hp 4-stroke Mercury is also an option.
Check out how much deck space is dedicated aft of the forward-situated dual console.
Weight Considerations
At the aluminum boat's relatively light weight and with the reverse-chine hull, I think the boat should perform well with the optional 50 horses, if reasonably loaded. The issue is that the walleye, muskie, pike, and salmon anglers who will be interested in the model often take along a lot of extra gear to employ the varied techniques that are popular for tempting those gamefish. Boats loaded with bottom bouncers, downrigger balls, lead core rigs, drift socks, planer boards and huskie-sized fishing partners might require horsepower on the upper end of the scale to gain the desired performance.
Please note that while the boat is rated for 5 persons, it's maximum people weight capacity is 620 lbs. (218.8 kgs). That makes the boat ideal for most couples with kids, but more likely to be limited to two or three fishing buddies.
Tracker offers quality trailers for the money with their boats, with standard features like swing-away tongues, retractable safety cables, EZ Lube hubs and even an outboard motor support.
The MSRP of the Tracker Pro Guide V-16 WT with 60-hp ELPT Mercury 4-stroke and a single axle trailer is $17,595 plus freight, prep and taxes.
If one agrees with the angling masses that aluminum is the way to go when boating on rock-and-obstruction-ridden fishing waters, and wants a fishing-friendly model that will protect them from the elements and is reasonably priced to purchase, tow and operate, the Tracker Pro Guide V-16 WT may be the way to go.

Well I know it's illegal in NSW and for good reason.
Re: Moron Motorists #3
i've been lurking for a while - i registered and posted after seeing this. and not just cos my name is also andrew i got myself a bike just before Christmas. did it mainly for fitness (hence the username). since getting the bike, i wouldn't have done 150km... and i had a situation very similar to this one that caused a crash already. he came from behind me (though not a roundabout, just a normal 90 degree left) - he was turning left. he ignored my right of way, cut me off, forcing me to brake. of course, i'm still getting the bike set up perfect - so combine idiot driver with a brand new bike (with brand new breaks) and with an idiot noob rider who didn't have his brakes in the right place to begin with, and who grabbed them too hard... over the handlebars. splat on the road. hole in my leg, torn quadricep. hasn't discouraged me though, i'm still really keen to get back on the bike... i'll just make sure i have lights and am wearing brighter clothes next time... (and if i'm honest, this thread only 50% belongs in this thread. the other 50% belongs in the dumb cyclist thread).
Re: Moron Motorists #3Had my scariest MM moment for a while this morning. Riding on Oxley Road through Corinda, just going straight through a (green lighted) junction in the left lane, big bank of cars moving slowly in the right lane (light had only just changed from red) when some complete youknowwhat in a white 90s Camry decided they would take the left lane to zoom by all the slow cars, despite the fact that I was in it. I heard a car accelerating hard behind me, but it still took my by surprise (that is to say, scared the $ht out of me) when a car came by at about 50kmh about 9 inches from my elbow.
I don't usually swear or flip the bird at drivers (usually the worst they'll get from me is a thumbs down or a 'what the hell?' palms up shrug) but this guy got a lot of everything. If he'd have caught a red light I would have probably ranted at him closer to. If I had a helmet cam I would have been straight down to the copshop, it was outrageous. And frightening...
Re: Moron Motorists #3There's close passes, and then there's really close passes:
Also an excellent example of why you should take the lane.
Re: Moron Motorists #3
Wow! I reckon he would have been hit if the Suzuki factory gave it one more coat of paint.
Re: Moron Motorists #3
the pace of the car was enough to turn the handlebars. that was close!
Re: Moron Motorists #3holy showtime, i don't reckon he saw you at all
i'd send that to the cops.
Re: Moron Motorists #3
Just a point of clarification - that's not me, it's just a fresh video that popped up on my Youtube feed that I thought you guys would want to see.
Re: Moron Motorists #3
Quoted for truth! ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: Moron Motorists #3
while i generally agree, i reckon in that case it would have meant getting hit. it only works when the driver sees you! (which you can only assume they will)
Re: Moron Motorists #3You're more likely to be seen if you are riding in the place they expect to see something. RH wheel track is pretty much right in front of their face.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: Moron Motorists #3The guy is wearing a bright yellow jersey - if the driver didnt see him, he shouldnt be on the road.
I think I'd find it really hard to be as restrained as that guy was. I'm an admitted hothead - its something that I'm trying to work on while on the roads. But my first reaction wouldve been bike lock through the windscreen I think.
Re: Moron Motorists #3
He had to have seen the cyclist, surely. I reckon he just wanted to squeeze by before the lights and couldn't go to the right lane due to the line up of cars there. Basically a lack of patience and no understanding of the 'a metre matters' campaign at all....typical of a lot of drivers really.
Re: Moron Motorists #3I really worry that I wouldn't be able to contain my rage if that happened to me.
I am normally pretty placid, but I also have a hair trigger when I, or a friend/family member are endangered. I probably would have kicked the mirror off at the very least.
Re: Moron Motorists #3Morons like that motorist should never be allowed to drive. If he really didn't see the cyclist then his eyesight is too poor to have a licence. If he did see the cyclist and passed that close then again his judgement/skill isn't good enough to driving.
Re: Moron Motorists #3Regarding public shaming, is there anywhere, apart from here, to shame bad drivers, or is it a law suit waiting to happen?
Re: Moron Motorists #3
Sometimes the papers run these things if they're bad enough (eg: Jim's Mowing) otherwise there's probably not a lot you can do other than stick it on YouTube with their rego number. At least there's a chance that when they come to selling their car and the prospective buyer enters the rego into google, they will see what a D-Head the seller is. Maybe kill the sale.
Re: Moron Motorists #3I reckon that Suzuki driver saw the bike. It was an angry expression on his face not a surprised one. He drove off instead of apologising also.
Full marks to that rider for his restraint, not even a profanity utterred . It made me angry just watching it, if I had been that rider I'd have been furious. Perhaps the knowledge that it is recorded and being recorded assists with the restraint. Kudos to the rider, a furious response would have helped none in any case.
Re: Moron Motorists #3
Ouch. Hope you are healing well and glad to hear you are not discouraged. Don't blame yourself. Andrew
Re: Moron Motorists #3
Truth is an absolute defence to a defamation suit. The video would seem to cover it, at least if the video is the 'communication' which gives rise to the suit.
Re: Moron Motorists #3
They are also in public so there is no expectation of privacy. Providing you don't doctor the footage to make them look worse or try to use it commercially then you shouldn't have any problems.
Re: Moron Motorists #3I was thinking about the position a motorist would be in if s/he was using a mobile phone and 'causing' an incident/crash.
Insurance companies can deny a claim if it arises out of a "deliberate; intentional; malicious or criminal act." Does using a mobile phone fall into this description? Traffic code (or whatever it's called) says no to handheld mobile use or texting ... but is it a 'criminal act'?
Re: Moron Motorists #3
I think it's an infringement rather than a criminal act.
Re: Moron Motorists #3
i think it's a summary offence, rather than a criminal one.

What cpu do you have in that system?
I am currently using an ASRock ConRoe865PE and it works very good on linux. It is based on the good old Intel 865 chip using DDR1 ram and works nicely with my old AGP graphics card. Everything I tested so far works nicely. The only thing I did not test is onboard audio. The bios is not usable if you want to overlock, but for everyday usage it is perfect. Here is a lonk to the Product itself:
The board works perfectly with the vanilla 220.127.116.11 Kernel I am using. All 2.6.18.* Kernel did work nicely, too.
What cpu do you have in that system?
I am using a Core2Due 6400 with my old 2x512MB DDR400 ram from MDT (a German company). I am also still using my ancient ATI Radeon 9800Pro with 128MB ram that is nicely supported by the opensource r300 drivers.
That motherboard and the Aus P5PE-VM I believe are indentical except for the video and the number of slots.
I'm kinda leaning towards either the E4300 or E6300 on the Asus P5PE-VM so I can reuse my memory and video card.
I purchased a Core 2 Duo E4300 and an Asus P5PE-VM motherboard. The motherboard is based on the 865G chipset from Intel.
A quick kernel compile benchmark compared to my Sempron64 2.4G system:
Common Hardware
7600GS OC 512M AGP Video Card
2x512MB Kingmax Dual Channel DDR400 2.5-3-3-7
SB Live! Value
Hauppage WinTV PVR150 TV/capture card
TD-101 Slim Case
Enermax 420W PSU
Panasonic DVD-RW DVR-105
Seagate 250G PATA on the SATA controller using a PATA to SATA converter
Linux Mint 2.1(Ubuntu Edgy derivative)
Kernel 2.6.19 make -j 3 for E4300 and make -j 2 for Sempron64
E4300 - stock clocking 1.8G 200FSB
1074.093 seconds to do a complete compile
Sempron64 2800+ OC'd to 2.4G 300FSB 3xHT RAM 266=DDR400 with overclock
1971 or so seconds to do a complete compile
I have to say I'm very impressed with the results. That Sempron is an awesome CPU considering it is only single core and only has 256k of cache.
This is my first venture into dual core. I've been an AMD fan since the 386 days. I'm not planning on overclocking this system since it is fast enough as it is.
I'm very happy with my budget system so far.

Several bear sightings have been reported in town in recent weeks, including in the area of the 699 blueberry bushes at her farm on Blake Road.
She was so convinced, that she reported her suspicion to police this week.
A bear has been spotted wandering around her property and even ripped down one of her bird feeders and another feeder at a neighbor's house.
While there have been numerous sightings, police Capt. Jason Newman said there have been no incidents.
Parke's purse vanished after she arrived home around 8 p.m. Sunday and set it down on the steps while opening her door.
Parke discovered her purse missing Monday and began to suspect a bear. Her house sits off the road and she doesn't believe anyone would have seen the purse sitting there.
"It's just puzzling," she said.
Mark Ellingwood, chief of the state Fish and Game's Wildlife Division, said a bear carrying off a purse wouldn't be a common behavior, but then again, bears are known to haul away bird feeders and other things with scents that attract them.
"It would be an extraordinarily uncommon event, but that said, who knows?," he said.

Q: I've heard olive oil is good for cardiovascular health. Is this true?
A: Indeed, olive oil has been found to have heart healthy qualities. In a recent US-Italian study people with mild to moderate heart disease who were provided with 30 mL olive oil a day showed significant improvement in the cells that line their blood vessels. Olive oil has been found to fight inflammation. These healthful properties are mostly due to the monounsaturated fats in olive oil as well as many phenolic compounds which are phytochemicals that help to dilate blood vessels.
When thinking about adding olive oil to your diet, do keep in mind that 30 mL olive oil contains approximately 240 calories. Since olive oil is so calorically dense it's best to substitute olive oil for fats that you already consume. For instance, add olive oil to bread instead of butter, top salads with olive oil instead of ranch and consider adding olive oil instead of milk or cream to mashed potatoes. Just keep in mind that olive oil is not appropriate for high temperature cooking such as frying due to its low smoke point.
