In addition to keeping your watches wound, the Orbita Tourbillon will also to rotate them in such a way as to offset the negative effects of gravity. Just as the tourbillon complication is designed to rotate a watch's escapement in order to counteract the forces of gravity and keep the movement functioning more regularly, with every turn, the Orbita Tourbillon positions your watches at a 30° offset from the previous turn. In other words, rather than rotating 360°, the barrel is rotated 390° which means that every 12 turns, the watch has had the opportunity to rest at a slightly different angle, averaging out the tiny variations in accuracy caused by gravitational forces over time.I keep putting my plastic Casio watch on there and I can really tell a difference in the way the LCD display hangs in the albedo offset. I think it has realigned the matrix of the liquid crystal lattice. Review of the Orbita Tourbillon Watch Winder [WatchReport.com]
Orbita Tourbillon Watch Winder Reviewed (Verdict: Seriously, You Bought a Watch Winder?)
16 Responses to Orbita Tourbillon Watch Winder Reviewed (Verdict: Seriously, You Bought a Watch Winder?)
Yes it does sound ridiculous but you have to understand watch collectors. Guys spend tens of thousands on a single watch to add to their collection. These watches are automatic and wind themselves from the motion of the wearer's arm. So for the guy who has 10, $20k watches he's not going to want to have to wind and set the time everytime he wants to wear a different watch. And so the overprices watch winder was born.
It's not (quite) the ridiculous pseudoscience that it sound like. Automatic (self-winding, by means of a weight) mechanical (i.e., clockwork) watches run down in a couple of days if not worn. If you have several watches, this means that you have to keep resetting and winding up your watches — and some don't even have a crown on the side for winding. So there's a market for watch winders which move the watch around to keep it wound up.
The thing about gravity comes from trying to make mechanical watches as accurate as possible — they run at slightly different rates depending on which way up they are, so are sometimes calibrated to an individual person's lifestyle (e.g., a computer user spends most of their time with the watch horizontal). One way of overcoming this is the tourbillon which continuously rotates the watch's timing mechanism to even out the variations in the watch's position. It seems that this product lets the watch rest in different positions after each winding rotation in order to have a similar effect, and hopefully maintain some semblance of accuracy.
And this is why we all wear quartz watches
There are plenty of good hundred-dollar watch winders. I wish I had one, because every time I want to wear my nice Swatch IRONY automatic skeleton silver watch, I have to find some WD-40 to unstick the crown, then set the time, then shake the darn watch for about 5 minutes to get it partially wound. Then again, I'd have to plug such a thing in, and that's a few watts right there.
Tourbillion movements in watches counteract the minute effects of gravity. If you spend your day with your arm out flat (typing), a regular watch will run at a different speed than if you spend it with your arm hanging down (meeting clients?). Over the course of a year, this could mean a difference of 5 – 10 seconds. So instead, the tourbillion spins the escapement around, reducing the error, at a mere $10k – $100k extra per watch. It's also an incredibly cool thing to watch when you are bored. (Gee, could that be the real reason? DING DING DING DING)
Calling this thing a "tourbillion" is somewhat facetious, but if you're going to spend $100k for a watch, why not spend $1k for the winder, and this one looks really cool.
Not everyone wears an electric watch. I have a drawer full of mechanicals, and I happen to be wearing the timepiece pictured on that winder. Position errors are one of the really fascinating aspects of mechanical timekeeping. In George Daniels' book Watchmaking at least 70 of the 400 pages deal with the effects of temperature, friction, gravity, geometry, surface finish, elasticity and arc of motion on the rate of a watch. It's written with such clarity that it could stand alone as a text on materials, mechanics and microfabrication. Daniels invented the famous Coaxial Escapement to reduce the rate variation of the escapement that is caused by the locking and impulse functions being performed by the same parts. After 30 years he licensed it to Swatch Group for use in Omega watches.
The tourbillon escapement is accurately described by commenters above. It was invented for pocket watches, which typically sat in a vest pocket in one position all day and were prone to changes of rate when held at a different position. This is not a problem with wrist watches, which when worn move through a variety of positions during teh day, averaging out the rate errors. Tourbillon escapements in wrist watches have no practical purpose, and are produced for the sake of appearance only.
I have about 25 or so mechanical watches. I find I wear my favorite, (tag heuer, aquaracer) 90% of the time because its such a pain to set the time each time I swap watches. I need something like this to do all my watches at once.
There is a great irony in that this winder has a digital clock on it.
I do love the expensive watch ads that bang on about how pilots and stupidly rich people wear these things because they're so incredibly accurate.
Unless you're navigating with a sextant, how many people actually need a watch that's accurate to anything more than a few seconds each day; let alone a fraction of a second? Ah, the joys of marketing.
@Adamrice — Probably syncs with an atomic clock so you can set the watch accurately before you put it on the winder.
And god, I feel like a redneck typing that… hay, bobby-jo, look out the winder, billy-bob's lookin for ya
In defense of watch nerds, over the centuries they have contributed some very worthwhile things to our civilization. Marine navigation. Railroad schedules that work without collisions between trains. Uh… that dropping ball thing in Times Square on 12/31… Okay, I'm all out of examples.
After seeing this high tech digital watch winder I want to build a Steampunk one. I have a dozen surplus 20rpm brass clock motors that would work. An oak base and brass hardware, of course. And a riveted leather drive belt. It would have to gave a gauge or meter of some kind. And of course a big NE30 neon bulb as an on/off indicator, a knife switch and a flyball governor to regulate the speed. NOW you're talking.
Also in defense of us watch nerds…
We spend from $2,000 on up for good quality automatic watches. Whether that's a good use of money for collecting something is relative and a different discussion. The point is (and the previous postings missed the point) is that by keeping automatic watches wound, it keeps them intermally lubricated and in better condition. This keeps maintenance costs down. It's much like changing the oil in your car – I'm sure you all perform that maintenance.
Most people think that winders are just a fancy device to avoid having to reset the watches. If that were the only function, I would probably agree that a winder is a bit over the top.
Regarding whether to spend $100 per "head" or $1,000 (as in the case of the Orbita Tourbillon), less axpensive winders can actually do more damage than not using one at all. Manufacturers of automatic watches specify the ideal number of turns per day and direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) to accurately wind their watches. The more expensive winders are programmable and can be set up to the manufacturer's specs. It's all about protecting the investment.
To be fair, I have to poke some fun at this. The Orbita watch database specifies that my Chronoswiss Regulateur Automatique should be wound counterclockwise at between 650-900 turns per day. By what if God forbit I want to WEAR it? I don't count the number of times and in which directon my arms moves while I'm at work… I quess I just risk it when I wear a watch.
I've always thought it would make a good hacking project to make a multiple watch winder. I have a bunch of automatic watches but every time I look for an 8 barrel winder the cheapest I can find is a couple of grand. Which is kinda nuts. It seems like a fairly simple drive chain plus a stepper motor could bring the whole project in around $150. That or a giant washing machine size one that has one giant barrel all the watches get strapped in. That would be awesome.
This is an interesting item, but…
it looks alot like a rock tumber with a watch stuck on one end.http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_3053494
Hmmm… My watch all wound up and shiny rocks to show my friends. Cool.
A few seconds a day of timekeeping error may seem insignificant, but it's cumulative. 10 seconds in 24 hours may seem sufficiently accurate for all purposes, but after a month you're off by 5 minutes.

I first joined the Women's Education Project (WEP) when the organization launched its Ambassador volunteer program back in January 2010. In a small workspace in Brooklyn, we met regularly over tea and light appetizers to help stuff and address envelopes, brainstorm ideas and help the President of the organization in any way we could. During my time with the organization, I've met a terrific group of young professionals, who are dedicated to enhancing the mission of the organization: WEP provides scholarships for young women in India from poor families to achieve career dreams, because in India women are more likely to lack the support and resources to attend college. Since January, the Ambassador program has evolved and now has subcommittees or teams that volunteers can join based on their interests. These include Events, Social Media, and Athletics. As a member of the social media team I have been very involved in the design of WEP's Facebook page and have now taken on the additional responsibility working as a co-manager for the PR team. The Ambassador program is great because it allows volunteers to take on leadership roles within the organization. I've come a long way from stuffing envelopes back in January, and it feels very rewarding to know that the work I do as an Ambassador for WEP helps young women succeed in college, career and life.

I am also 5 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy and cramping. Now that I think about it, this happened to me with my first pregnancy. I just can't shake the feeling that something is going to happen because my husband and I tried for this pregnancy for about 2 years. I'm hoping this is just my hormones messing with me though. Good Luck everyone!!posted 09/04/2012 by steenylee209
I am now 3 months pregnant and I have continued cramping off and on pretty regularly since the 1st week practically.

Hey I'm 13 wks and today I spotted brown blood and then the cramps came on . I called my doctor he told me to come in , so i went in he said it was normal and we listen to the baby heart beat.

DONALD SUTHERLAND is a legendary actor known for his memorable performances in a wide diversity of roles in such classics as M*A*S*H, The Dirty Dozen, Klute, Ordinary People, Kelly's Heroes, Fellini's Casanova, The Eye of The Needle, 1900, The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Animal House and a hundred and fifty more films.
Most recently he's starred opposite Jamie Bell and Channing Tatum in Kevin Macdonald's film, The Eagle, adapted from Rosemary Sutcliff's beloved classic children's novel, The Eagle of the Ninth, about a Roman Centurion in second century Britain. He appeared with Colin Firth in Horrible Bosses this September, and has just completed filming with Christian Slater in Sofia playing a role he survives for once.
Born in New Brunswick, Canada, Sutherland grew up in Nova Scotia and left, at the age of 17, having never seen the inside of a theatre, to study at University of Toronto determined to become an actor.
His success at the University's Hart House Theatre propelled him to London, more training, and work in the fortnightly repertory in Perth Scotland for a year and in plays in theatres all over the British Isles.
He was performing in 'The Spoon River Anthology' at the Royal Court Theater in London when Warren Kiefer came back and asked him to come to Rome and shoot Il Castello di Vivi Morti. It gave him his first film role and the name of his son.
As a Canadian with a North Atlantic accent Sutherland was given the opportunity to be one of the bottom six in the classic war film, The Dirty Dozen (1967). The film starred Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, John Cassavetes, Telly Savalas and Jim Brown, and when Clint Walker told director Robert Aldrich during a read through that he didn't feel that it was right that he, as a star in Hollywood playing a native American, should play a silly scene impersonating a General in front of Robert Ryan, Aldrich looked down the table and said: 'You with the big ears – you do it.' The big ears bracketed Sutherland's head and his performance in that scene changed his life.
Ingo Preminger saw it and offered him a film he was going to produce from a novel he'd bought. There was no director. No script. No other actors. Sutherland said 'yes.' The novel was by Richard Hooker. The title of the novel was M*A*S*H.
He shot it on the Fox ranch with Elliott Gould, Bobbie Duvall, Sally Kellerman and Tom Skerritt, all under the guidance of Robert Altman. He was shooting Kelly's Heroes in Yugoslavia with Clint Eastwood when M*A*S*H sneaked in San Francisco. His life changed again.
The film is now considered a classic and one of the best films of the 70s.
Sutherland followed this with another classic, Alan Pakula's, Klute, in which he starred with his great and good friend Jane Fonda, in a suspense film about a New York prostitute whose friend is mysteriously murdered. Sutherland played a small town police detective who comes to New York to solve the case. Both actors received critical acclaim for their roles and Fonda won the Oscar for Best Actress.
He then did Don't Look Now with Julie Christie in Venice. Nic Roeg directed it and Sutherland had the name of his second son and a role in a film that is truly, in every respect, regarded as exquisite.
Sutherland took a supporting role in the early '70s that would become one of his most infamous and most critically acclaimed. The role was that of the murderous fascist leader in the Bernardo Bertolucci critically acclaimed Italian epic, 1900 (1976).
He stayed in Italy for another year to work with the maestro, Federico Fellini, who had chosen Sutherland to be his 'Casanova'. They shot for 14 months and Fellini called the result his favorite film.
In another supporting role at that time, Sutherland was the marijuana-Â smoking university professor in the seminal classic comedy Animal House (1976), the breakthrough film for director John Landis that Sutherland shot over one weekend in Oregon while he was filming Phil Kaufman's pitch perfect remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
He was the father in Robert Redford's critically acclaimed, Academy Award-Âwinning drama, Ordinary People (1980), the Nazi spy in The Eye of the Needle, based on the bestselling novel by Ken Follett, and the teacher struggling with South Africa's apartheid in The Dry White Season, in which he starred opposite Marlon Brando.
In Oliver Stone's controversial JFK (1991) Sutherland played the chilling role of Mister X, based on the very real Fletcher Prouty, an anonymous source who gave crucial information about the politics surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy.
He also appeared as the father to Nicole Kidman's character in Cold Mountain (2003) and Charlize Theron's character in The Italian Job (2003). Sutherland also gave memorable performances in Land of the Blind (2006) and Reign Over Me (2007).
He says now the roles he plays almost always have a death involved in them. His. His death. He looks at these roles as if he's cramming for his finals. Life goes on.

The SEC recently made the unusual move of asking the Eleventh Circuit to publish its previously-unpublished per curiam decision in SEC v. Monterosso, 2014 WL 2922670 (11th Cir. June 30, 2014). The decision was not merely a win for the Staff, who presumably sought publication due to the Court's unwarranted language purporting to limit the Supreme Court's Janus precedent only to cases explicitly charged solely under Rule 10b-5(b).
In Monterosso, the Commission's Enforcement Staff pursued civil prosecution of three individuals who – in their roles as the issuer's COOs and officers of an issuer's affiliate – willfully participated in providing fabricated invoices to support an "off-net" revenue program, showing over $100 million in fictitious revenue accounting for a low of 58% of GlobeTel's reported revenue for 2004 and as much as 92% for the first quarter of 2006.
The trial court granted summary judgment for the SEC on Rule 10b-5 and '33 Act § 17(a) claims, among others. On appeal, the Eleventh Circuit rejected a Janus argument that the subsidiary's officers had not "made" the revenue misrepresentations in GlobeTel's financial statements. In Janus Capital Group, Inc. v. First Derivative Traders, 131 S. Ct. 2296 (2011), the Supreme Court held that a Rule 10b-5 private action does not lie against a defendant not having "made" the misrepresentation (i.e. having had "ultimate authority and control" over it). That decision rested largely upon the Court's prior decisions – also in civil litigation under Rule 10b-5 ? precluding aider-and-abettor liability (Central Bank) or scheme-liability for non-speaking participants (Stoneridge). Here, however, the Eleventh Circuit rejected the argument as simply irrelevant to the SEC's claims under:
• Rule 10b-5(a)("device, scheme or artifice to defraud"),
• Rule 10b-5(c)(fraudulent or deceitful "act, practice, or course of business"), or
• Section 17(a) (a broader, negligence-based "cousin" of Rule 10b-5)
The Court concluded: "The case against [them] did not rely on their 'making' false statements, but instead concerned their commission of deceptive acts as part of a scheme to generate fictitious revenue for GlobeTel. Therefore, Janus has no bearing on this case."
The Eleventh Circuit, however, wrongly wrote that Janus "did not concern … Rule 10b-5(a) or (c)" which "are not so restricted' as subsection (b), because they are not limited to 'the making of an untrue statement of a material fact.'" In its Janus decision, the Supreme Court quoted Rule 10b-5(b), but did not limit its holding only to that subsection; in fact, the Court did not dissect the subsections of the Rule at all. Instead, the animating spark of the Supreme Court's decision rests on the distinction between civil-liability under the implied private right of action (limited by Central Bank and Stoneridge) on the one hand, and the more expansive reach of SEC's prosecutorial ability (civil or criminal) which is unrestrained by Central Bank [after the PSLRA amendment of 15 U.S.C. § 78t(e)] or by the reliance requirement undergirding Stoneridge's disallowance of scheme-liability for non-speaking actors. The Eleventh Circuit was wrong to purport to limit Janus to a non-existent textual limitation while ignoring the contextual differences between an SEC prosecution and limitations on the private civil right of action that would have supported the same result more appropriately.
Three other aspects of the Monterosso opinion worth noting are:
First, the trial court rejected the SEC's request for a blanket adverse inference from defendants' assertion of the 5th Amendment privilege during depositions, but reserved the issue for consideration question-by-question as necessary. The Eleventh Circuit cited the adverse inference as additional evidence of scienter.
Second, the Court affirmed third-tier civil penalties [see '33 Act § 20(d); '34 Act § 21(d)(3)] based upon clear evidence of fraud and findings of substantial risk of loss — notwithstanding no direct evidence of any actual loss.
Third, several arguments were deemed waived by not having been raised in trial court: (a) Distinctions among sub-sections of Rule 10b-5; and (b) One defendant's financial condition as a basis for lower civil penalties.
SEC v. Monterosso, Nos. 13-10341, 13-10342, 13-10464, 2014 WL 2922670 (11th Cir. June 30, 2014). The opinion is here.

1. The Feds and UAW own most of GM.
2. The Feds are in charge of the Toyota attacks
I agree, brilliant once again. I certainly hope Toyota can pull it together.
Grant Gardner; its not so simple as you state. The death of Mark Saylor and his three family members in August last year shows that its not as easy to stop a speeding Toyota by engaging the neutral gear. An off-duty California Highway Patrolman, Mark was a driving expert, had been involved in some highway chases in his career and was among the best drivers in his department.
At the time of the accident, he tried everything he could to stop his Toyota in vain.
If an experienced Highway Patrolman could not stop his speeding Toyota, it is highly unlikely other normal drivers can if the worst happens and the pedal got stuck.....
Brilliant collocation of two major events in the world media--pity the customers but also the manufacturer, a Detroiter might say.
I bet now would probably be the best time to buy a Toyota, considering the price hit the brand has taken. I'm not too worried about the pedal getting stuck. The pedal jamming has only happened to a very small percentage of cars (from what I can tell), and I believe you can still put the car in neutral in the very very unlikely event that your gas pedal actually does get stuck--sure it would be a pain having to pull over and get your car towed and repaired, but it's not going to kill you. And once again, even this scenario is very very unlikely. Toyota, in my opinion, is still a respectable and reliable brand; it just made one very bad mistake with this pedal. The rest of the car is fine and the vast vast majority of pedals aren't going to get stuck anyway (for all we know, it's just fat people who are breaking these pedals). Unfortunately, I'm a student and am short on funds at the moment, but if anyone would like to give me their Toyota death trap, my email address is email@example.com. And please, nothing more than 8 years old or 100,00 miles (160 kilometers) :-)
So you cannot please all of the people all of the time; but it lightens my mood each week!
Dead Brilliant - I laughed out loud when I saw it.
hmmmmm....not so good...the last one was wayyyyyyy better
While the unintended acceleration issue and 2010 Prius brakes were and are clearly Toyota's issue, the latest set of "revelations" seem like the Friends of Detroit are simply piling it on while the Friends of Toyota are using it to extract concessions (jobs) for their districts.
Make hey while the makin' is good, eh, Congress ?
Legal Economist: Thank you for the insightful comment. I still remember reading about the tragic death of Mr. Saylor and his family in the NY Times. It was really disturbing to read how the 2009 Lexus sedan that he was loaned sped out of control (the dealership had loaned him this car while they serviced his personal vehicle). I think the assumption is that because he was an experienced highway patrol officer, he must have tried turning the car off and putting it in neutral. Because this was a loaner car with a keyless ignition, he probably did not know how to turn it off. Indeed, the dashboard contained no warning to alert people that they must hold the power button for a full three seconds to turn the car off when the engine is running (hey, do I smell a tort lawsuit?). Thus, although I'm sure he tried to turn the engine off, we can see why he was probably unsuccessful in doing so.
As for any attempt to put the car in neutral, I think the only evidence we have of him attempting this is the fact that he was a member of the highway patrol. But I'm not sure if all such officers are specifically trained on how to handle "unintended acceleration." Perhaps in the heat of the moment of accelerating rapidly in an unfamiliar car with three scared and perhaps screaming occupants, switching the gears to neutral may have slipped his mind--especially when a driver's worst fear has now come true: the breaks no longer working. I would be very interested in any additional evidence that supports the proposition that he actually attempted to put the car in neutral but failed, and if so, why this attempt failed (perhaps the gear shifter functioned different from the one he was used to, and he just assumed it was stuck--like the gas pedal). I don't deny such evidence exists; it just hasn't been brought to my attention. But then again, perhaps there are some critical facts we may never know.
Of the over 2,000 "unintended acceleration" complaints Toyota received prior to Mr. Saylor's accident last summer, it was this accident that prompted Toyota to "step up its inquiry" (to quote the NY Times). I'm assuming that with the vast majority of these other "unintended acceleration" incidents, the drivers were able to successfully get their cars under control, perhaps by turning them off or switching to neutral (something that is easier to do when it's a car your familiar with). Thus, I don't think we can yet conclude from this one tragic incident with Mr. Saylor that Toyotas experiencing "unintended acceleration" cannot be safely brought to a stop in most cases. In fact, I think the sheer number of "unintended acceleration" complaints supports a contrary conclusion. Nevertheless, before I ever go driving a Toyota again, I'm going to make absolutely certain that I know how to immediately switch the engine off and switch the gears to neutral.
Too much up-told, too many questions.
Is it all abou the car? Or Is it just a prelude of something else?
With regard to the accelerator problem, it is partly the fault of the Americans, the defective component was manufactured in the U.S.
Regarding the brake problem, Toyota is the most advanced in hybrid technology, and therefore there were some new problems.
This is a brilliant cartoon.
It is really remarkable how Toyota's problems with 'unintended acceleration' have been so devastating. There was an interesting article in the WSJ yesterday regarding other companies which have dealt with this problem. Over the past decade, Ford has had an enormous amount of problems with 'unintended acceleration.'
The way Toyota had been treated should be a warning to China's car manufacturers about the pitfalls of pushing their own brands into the US. It is better to be a major parts supplier or let the Detroit Three manufacture their own complete cars in China and import them into the US under their own (GM, Ford or Chevy) badges. It will take around ten years for any Chinese manufacturer to build up brand awareness,the dealership infrastructure complete with service and parts supply chain, etc. That time and money is better spent expanding market share in developing countries. The US and EU are already mature car markets and have over capacity in car manufacturing to absorb a new comer. Cheap and lightly constructed Chinese cars sets them up for vicious attacks by existing national car makers who will use any opportunity to keep out the competition.
Electric and hybrid cars are a different story altogether. They don't compete with the conventional gasoline powered cars. China has the advantage here in having near road ready vehicles. On safety electricity powered cars have less complex controls to deal with.
My Corolla hatch had its eighth birthday yesterday, and I'm still happy with it. At the time I bought it, it seemed "well-sorted" compared to the alternatives, obviously from a company which thoroughly understood car-making. Alas, Toyota seems to have taken its eye of the ball in recent years. Much easier to lose a good reputation than to build (or re-build) one.
For what they are doing to Toyota does anyone want to build themselves as a major independent brand name in US industry? Its a lot easier to be just a major on the supply chain and let the American company set themselves up for opportunistic self flagellation. The proof is Chinese industry making loads of money, thin as the margins are, with minimal blowback, as contract manufacturers for US brands.
Toyota is in the business of making good cars. Unintended acceleration is one of the unforeseen problems that the company has faced. It speaks volumes of their decision to recall hundred thousands of their product. They will bounce back with vengeance. I wish them luck.
What a crack up!

Springfield, MAUSA 01104
March 29, 2014
I am a musician and music fan.
About us…
A small group to attend chamber music concerts, and often to go out for a meal or snack at a restaurant before or after concerts. (Typically, a modest $15-$20 meal in the town where the concert is.)
Mainly, the group is intended for people who normally subscribe to or occasionally attend the Music In Deerfield (@Smith), Music at Amherst --Chamber, Chamber Music at Wistariahurst, and/or other local faculty recital (e.g. UMASS) concerts alone or in a small group. However, the group will also welcome people who have developed an appreciation for chamber music through listening to recorded music or personally performing, and want to expand out to the pleasure of the live listening experience.
This group is NOT a singles group. Individuals, couples, and little groups of people, attached or single, straight or gay, are welcome. I expect most interest to be from people about 30 through and including late retirement. (I am mid-50s myself.)
Note that the fairly large set of members shown for the group on the Meetup.com site is a little misleading. There are a pleasantly small handful of people who actually come to the events. (Most people who sign up are more interested in other types of music than chamber music, and do not wind up coming to any concerts.)
Also note that, since I have found interest among group members in going out for a bite before or after the concert to be unpredictable, I usually do not now list this as part of the event: I usually only list the concert. If there is interest in grabbing a bite to socialize, we either decide at the end of the concert, or, for pre-concert meals, we arrange via the event comments section or phone. (In any case, if I (Norm) go, there is always an interest by me in the meal, so you should suggest it if you have interest in such and see I am going.)
If you have an idea for an event (in the broad category: classical music or dance or better theater in the Amherst / Northampton area) or beyond, feel free to suggest it via emailing me from the group page, or via my phone (413)-584-2034.
There is NO membership fee or event surcharge of any kind. People just pay for their meals and concert tickets. (I will NOT accept donations towards the costs of maintaining the site at Meetup.com, since doing it this way makes me feel like a patron of the arts.)
You can phone me at 413-584-2034 (my home land line -- not a cell) any time. (I get enough sales and annoying headhunter calls that I usually don't pick up the phone unless I recognize the caller--leave a message and I will call back quickly or else as soon as I get home.)
MAIN LOCAL CHAMBER & CLASSICAL MUSIC EVENTS LISTINGS (Fall-Spring or Year-Round):
Music at Amherst (College) Chamber Series: https://www.amherst.edu/academiclife/departments/music/musicatamherst
I subscribe to this series, but do not usually put it on the group schedule, since tickets are not always available at the door. Tickets for individual concerts become available starting 2 weeks before the performance.
Five Colleges Calendar of Events:
UMASS Fine Arts Center Events:
Northampton Academy of Music Calendar of Events
Smith Chamber Music Society Series & Other Smith Music and Dance
Arcadia Players (Period Instrument Group Based in Northampton)
Rt. 9 Ensemble: A group of young local musicians who perform around here from time to time.
Springfield Symphony
Hartford Symphony http://www.hartfordsymphony.org/
When I used to live in CT, I went to a number of HSO concerts, which were in the original arge Bushnell hall, where the acoustics are pretty good. Since then, attendance has diminished and they now use a smaller, newer hall in the same building--acoustics unknown to me.
Pioneer Valley Symphony: small regional orchestra doing most of its concerts in the Greenfield High School auditorium. (Intermission at these concerts is the perfect time to mingle with the high society of Greenfield, whose members are surprisingly approachable.)
Worcester Art Museum Chamber
Brattleboro (Vt.) Chamber Series
Tuesday Morning Music Club of Springield (local chamber musicians performing mostly around Springfield; low priced, morning performances suitable for those with non-decadent early-rising habits)
OTHER LOCAL CULTURAL EVENTS (Fall-Spring or Year-Round):
Theater option (members may wish to self-organize trips down there. It's about 45 miles away, right off of I 91. Parking in the past has always been unproblematic, in the garage right in the same building as the stage.)
Hartford Stage:
decent regional theater. In my past life in CT, I've gone to and enjoyed about half of each season's production, selecting classics, etc., in preference to the lighter fare.
A little farther away, about 80 miles,
Yale Rep: ( http://www.yalerep.org/ ) , which goes nicely with decent meals available there. (I am especially fond of a particular Thai Restaurant.)
Live telecasts of theater, dance, and opera (opera--eh, my opinion only) at Amherst Cinema ( http://amherstcinema.org/ )

NOTE: People who are both single and over 40 interested in live opera from the Met HD should note that the Spice of Life's Too Short Meetup Group (link: http://www.meetup.com/singles-875/ ) often goes to these.
1)Marlboro Music Festival (Vt--50 miles from here; festival runs during a limited part of the summer) http://www.marlboromusic.org/summer-concerts/overview/
2)Yellow-Barn Music Festival (Putney, VT--I've heard them once performing locally, they're pretty good) http://www.yellowbarn.org/
3)Music Mountain (maybe 90 miles from here in Northwestern CT--I have a long history of going to these-- ist's good stuf; festival runs the full summer season) http://musicmountain.org/
4)Norfolk Music Festival--summer home of the Yale School of Music (maybe 10 miles from Music Mountain) I tend to prefer the acoustics of Music Mountain and the mid-day-Sunday concerts at MM are ideal for day trips, but the music at Norfolk is good stuff, and there is also an oportunity to stay the night and combine a Saturday night concert at Norfolk with a Sunday afternoon one at MM. http://music.yale.edu/norfolk/concerts/concerts.htm
5)South Mountain Concerts, Pittsfield http://www.southmountainconcerts.org/ This series is just post summer, that is, for 2012 it is early September to early October.
Quoting from The New Yorker, "Tickets to this brief end of summer series ... can be hard to come by. Not surprising, since its concerts are all first class."
6)Jacob's Pillow Dance (renowned mostly modern dance--about 30-60 miles from here, depending on whether you like to avoid going on the back roads, which I do like to do--that is, avoid them) http://www.jacobspillow.org/

ArkivMusic.com ( http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/main.jsp ) is an online place to order classical CDs. The selection is large, perhaps even complete, and the site makes it easy to find all pieces available by a composer, and then all versions of that piece, etc. Note that you can, from the site, sign up for their newsletter, which gets you announcements of sometimes substantial sales, about one newsletter a week.
I should mention that when you hear a piece around here by one of the several local composers we have, you can usually find a few things by them on ArkivMusic.com, sometimes even the exact piece you heard.

Laboratory demonstrations of interferometric and spotlight synthetic aperture ladar techniques |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 22, pp. 24237-24246 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (4190 KB)
A variety of synthetic-aperture ladar (SAL) imaging techniques are investigated on a table-top laboratory setup using an ultra-broad bandwidth (>3 THz) actively linearized chirp laser centered at 1.55 microns. Stripmap and spotlight mode demonstrations of SAL in monstatic and bistatic geometries are presented. Interferometric SAL for 3D topographical relief imaging is demonstrated highlighting the coherent properties of the SAL imaging technique.

Enough Cody. Okay, Had a 02 GT Best time after 50 runs was a 13.79 at 102. Had the usual bolt on's when I traded it in. My FIRST run in my stock 04 Mach with 504 miles- I ran a 13.39 at 105.9 wiith a 2.31 60'. Now I can click of 13.0#'s at 106-107 with 2.05 60's on the stock tires. Give me DR's and a 1.8 60' and you will easily see a 12.7 - 12.8. I loved my GT but there is no comparision- NONE! All Mustangs are great so let's just all get along and not be little **** ant ricer punks. I have not posted here since I got rid of my GT because of attitudes like this on this board.... Bye- back to the Registry!
You guys are really damn stupid. Especially youe kissmyAZZure. Stock vs stock a LS1 will murder a Mach1 how dumb can someone be to think otherwise? This post is just stupid now, this is why I like to pick on Mach1 owners the way I do. 70% of you think your fake ram air and stickers scare people. I really love the Mach1=Stock Cobra wow that is the deffinition of dumbass! If a stock Cobra will own a LS1 then it will kill a Mach1. Wow at least I know one person that has a Mach1 and isn't a complete moron.
Oh yeah, and you're a Rhodes Scholar, give me a break This statement just proves my first observation. This post went stupid the minute you opened your mouth. Ahhh, actually it's not fake ram air, but that's an argument for a different day. Seems a good portion of the mods listed in your sig are Mach 1 related, so you must like 'em Skippy I never said it wouldn't. All I said was with the addition of a nitrous kit, I can now hang with even modded 03/04 Cobras. So the fact that you can beat him, makes him smart? Gotta love that midwestern logic.
bolt on gts will run right with stock mach 1's, just no one seems to be able to drive their gts for ****. i personally can beat every mach 1 guy here at my track same tire to tire. modded of course they are the best na application ford has given us with a mod motor cody, you must be in denial. i could just picture his argument if he had a mach. "gts are pos's, i beat them when they have h/c/i and all of the bolt ons in my stock mach and a full tank of gas"
With the stock Eagle F1 tires I ran a best of 13.14 in my SS. It has the SLP option suspension so wheel spin is almost impossible to eliminate on street tires. With a BW Lid/Filter, SLP y-pipe I ran a best of 12.89. With some BFG DR's I ran a best of 12.7 but I don't really use that number beacuse without DR's it can't hook for crap. And I wasn't saying a Mach1 with spray cannot beat a Cobra I was talking about kissmyAZZure's bogus post. People here say LS1 owners act like God but I think that title is reserved for Mach1 owners. Sorry but your ego seriously needs to be checked.
Cody, you are a ****ing retard!! Read (if you can) my post over, and you would see that the Mach 1 in comparison is mine. MY mach is equal to 80-90% of the stock cobras at the track. MOST stock cobras will run high 12s-low13s... my car - high 12s-low13's. The best ls1 (camaro/firebird) run that I have seen in anything near stock form is a 13.3, and that was an SS with DRs. You are the type of low-life scum that doesn't have the b*lls to do anything in person, so you troll around starting bull***** on the computer. If you, or any GT/ LS1 you know is anywhere around NJ, I'm ready to go. If you want, I would take my few bolt-ons off. But according to you, I should get smoked so bad I'll need them!!
Codygt... LOL.. I have a MACH1, Had an 01 COBRA too. Didn't like the MACH1 when i first got it, well not like i did the COBRA anyway. Let me tell you some stuff about the DOHC 4.6 The MACH1 has the Latest Gen. 4.6L (281 C.I.D.) Dual Overhead Cam. 32V V8. The Bore and Stroke are damn near square, (Bore 90.2mm Stroke 90.0mm) The Block, Heads, and Pistons are all aluminum. The Crank is Forged. The engine is "R" coded and is the BEST 4V motor to date. It has fully revised heads, intake, pistons, cams and the best trait of every previous 4V motor. It's FORD's 3rd fastest mass produced Mustang in history. IT MAKES MORE BHPL THAN AN LS1 CORVETTE. It is more efficient than a GT's 2V or 05's 3V. Now for those who think the MACH1 is NOT under-rated, stop lieing to yourself and respect it. It makes between 320-330 FWHP, all day. It absolutley destroys GT's. A few bolt on mods wont help you either, your gonna need a plan and some money. My buddy has a 2000 GT with nearly the whole Steeda catalog... sus. sys. brakes. Bullitt intake, C/B, jba headers, 3:73's. etc. He still barely hung around with my MACH, it's all he could do to stay at my rear bumper... And i've driven his car, it's fast, but just lacks that 4V anger, especially up top. A GT is 60+ HP shy of the MACH and way less TQ. at top and thru the band. MACH1 already has 3:55 gears and it has a higher REDLINE. As far as modding a GT vs. MACH1. A MACH1 with basic bolt on's makes over 300 RWHP easily. So youll need another real 50 HP to even catch up. RESPECT THE MACH1!
Oh CODY, btw. I have an 03 LS1 Vette parked next to my stock 03 MACH1 right now, and the VETTE still hasn't been able take the MACH until around 130mph. But by that time your GT would be so far behind. LOL.
Sorry go2redline but a LS1 F-Body is faster than a non Z06 C5. The soild rear just lets them launch alot better and the gearing is more for the 1/4 and low end speed. When my SS was stock the only time a C5 was close was on the highway where there light weight and gearing kick in. And kissmyAZZure I am not a troll, I would gladly beat your ass or race you but you aren't worth the drive. I really don't think you would make any of these statements if I were standing within 6 feet of you.
i respect the mach but it sounds like you need to give a little credit to the 2v. NA its not a greatest application but there are plenty of us with only bolt ons that show machs tail lights consistently.
anybody with a mach near Roanoke VA wanna give my GT a go ???? I love running them , sooooo much fun .....bring em on LOL....I got somethin for that a$$
