Installing .exe files from MAC? Hello, I just got my Q. Been a Mac user from the beginning. This is my first Windows OS ever. Here's my question: Can I install .exe files using Missing Sync from my Powerbook? I like the Q so far but want to add some better applications. Your help is greatly appreciate
Installing EXE Files If the EXE files are Windows Mobile executables (some simple programs are distributed that way), and if Missing Sync allows copying files to the Q, then you should be able to. If the EXE files are installers that use ActiveSync, probably not unless you can run the EXE files somehow and Missing Sync supports ActiveSync's Add/Remove Programs command. I'm not a Mac person, but I know that you can boot Windows on a Mac. Can you also run real ActiveSync in there? If so, then you could probably use the installer EXEs. Steve

2010 Subaru Outback Problems
The head gasket has a high failure rate due to cooling system problems. Subaru is aware of the problem and has extended the warranty to 8 years/100k miles on many vehicles.
A vibration or shutter may be noted on acceleration. If the transmission torque converter is suspected a revised part is available to correct this concern.
2010 Subaru Outback Questions
Began as an intermittent problem and now is continuous. These lights came on once under warranty and I was informed it was the gas cap. I purchased a new gas cap this time with no change in the dash indicators. The diagnostics state the fuel mix is too lean (before or after stage one I believe).
I've replaced each of my low beam headlights twice in under 60K and the dealer has told me that type of bulb can't take a lot of bumps...come on?
2010 Subaru Outback Recalls
On 2010-2013 Subaru models equipped with an automatic transmission and Audiovox accessory remote start system, if the key fob is dropped it may begin randomly transmitting a request to start the engine, causing the engine to unexpectedly start and run for up to 15 minutes. The engine may continue to start and stop until the battery in the fob goes dead or until the vehicle runs out of fuel. If the vehicle is parked in an enclosed area, there is a risk of carbon monoxide build-up which may cause asphyxiation. Original equipment keyless entry fobs integrated on the vehicle key are not affected. Dealers will replace the affected key fobs to correct this concern.
The accessory lights that illuminate the area under the doors are referred to as "puddle" lights. An electrical short circuit can develop when either the puddle light or its connector are exposed to an electrolytic moisture source (such as road spray that has road salt in it) and it penetrates the circuit board of the puddle light or the pins of the puddle light connector(s). The short circuit can generate heat which may melt the plastic resulting in smoke or fire. Subaru dealers will install an additional fused-harness, to protect the puddle light system.
Components inside the front wiper motor bottom cover may overheat. If the bottom cover overheats, the wipers may stop working, which can reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash or fire. Dealers will replace the front wiper motor bottom cover assembly to correct this concern. The Subaru recall number is WVV-32.

Last year I finally caved in to my baser urges and bought a Wii. I also bought the Wii Fit and balance board to go with it so I could get a little fun exercise on bad weather days. I've loved the Wii and bought all kinds of games for it. In my opinion, it has paid for itself in entertainment value and was well worth the "blow money." Fast forward a year. The balance board broke last week. It started thinking I was on it when I wasn't and it wouldn't stop telling me to get off. After trying every fix I could find on the Internet and calling Nintendo, I am forced to accept that the board is toast.

The FBI has made several arrests in an investigation of New York's Genovese organized crime family.
The suspects were named Wednesday in a racketeering indictment charging them with extortion, loan sharking and drug dealing.
The FBI says the reputed acting boss of the family, Danny Leo, also is charged.
Leo, nicknamed "The Lion," was sentenced to five years in prison last year. He pleaded guilty to charges he conspired to shake down a livery cab business owner and an illegal gambling business.
The suspects were awaiting arraignment Wednesday in Manhattan federal court.

Custer's Revenge (also known as Westward Ho and The White Man Came) is a controversial video game made for the Atari 2600 by Mystique, a company that produced a number of adult video game titles for the system. The player character is based on General George Armstrong Custer, well known for his crushing defeat at the Battle of Little Bighorn.[1] The game was first released on September 23, 1982, and has received significant criticism because of its crude simulation of a rape of a Native American woman.[2]
Like many other video game manufacturers of the early 1980s, Mystique soon went out of business. It sold the rights to its games to Playaround, which continued to market Custer's Revenge as Westward Ho for a time. Playaround made minor modifications to the game, which included making the skin of the woman darker and having her extend her arm and gesture to Custer to come over to her. It also made a version of the game called General Retreat.
In the game, the player controls the character of Custer, depicted as a man wearing nothing but a cavalry hat, boots and a bandana, sporting a visible erection. Custer has to overcome arrow attacks to reach the other side of the screen. His goal is to have sex with a naked Native American woman tied to a pole.
In General Retreat, it is the woman who has to overcome various obstacles to have sex with Custer. Instead of arrows, cannonballs are fired at the woman.
Custer's Revenge quickly gained notoriety upon its release. Sold in a sealed package labeled "NOT FOR SALE TO MINORS"[3] and selling for $49.95,[4] it acknowledged that children might nonetheless see the game. The game's literature stated "if the kids catch you and should ask, tell them Custer and the maiden are just dancing."[5] The makers elected to preview the game for women's and Native American groups, an act which some thought was a publicity stunt.[6] Women's rights groups criticized the game,[7] stating that it was a simulation of rape; the back of the packaging states "she's not about to take it lying down, by George! Help is on the way. By God! He's coming." Other groups such as Women Against Pornography, Native American spokespersons, and critics of the video game industry in general protested about the game. Andrea Dworkin claimed the game "generated many gang rapes of Native American women."[8] Activists tried pressuring legislators to outlaw the game, which Oklahoma City, Oklahoma did.[9] Multiple Industries pursued an $11 million lawsuit against Suffolk County, New York and legislator Philip Nolan "because of a resolution authorizing the county executive to take action to halt sales and distribution" of the game.[10]
Nevertheless, the focused media attention caused the game to sell approximately 80,000 copies, twice as many copies as Mystique's other adult-only games, Bachelor Party and Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em. However, Atari, only the platform for the game and not the maker, received numerous complaints about the game, and responded by trying to sue the game's makers.[11] Stuart Kesten, President of American Multiple Industries (Mystique), stated "our object is not to arouse, our object is to entertain [...] When people play our games, we want them smiling, we want them laughing." The game's designer, Joel Miller, said Custer was "seducing" the maiden and that she was a "willing participant."[4] Ultimately, the game was withdrawn from circulation.[12]
In 2008, the University of Calgary Tom Keenan professor cited "the hideous Custer's Revenge game", 26 years after its release, in an op-ed piece about current video game violence issues for the Calgary Herald.[13] That same year, the game was credited by Australian PC Magazine as being one of the worst games ever made,[14] while Games.net ranked Custer's victim as fifth on the list of top ten disturbingly sexual game characters.[15] In 2010, Custer placed eighth on machinima.com's list of the gaming's top perverts in gaming.[16] UGO.com ranked it as tenth on the list of the most racist video games in history in 2010,[17] also ranking the game's General Custer as the second most unsexy video game character of all time in 2012.[18]
In the South Park episode "You're Getting Old" (season 15), an arcade machine for Custer's Revenge appears in the background during Randy's musical performance at the bowling alley.

Kansas State is No. 5 seed, but Utah St. is no ordinary No. 12
MANHATTAN — Before giving his team two days off to recover from a disappointing loss in the Big 12 Tournament last week, Frank Martin told Kansas State players to expect a mid-range seed in the NCAA Tournament.
So the Wildcats genuinely celebrated Sunday afternoon when they learned of their postseason assignment.
K-State exceeded expectations by earning a No. 5 seed in the Southeast Regional. It faces No. 12 seed Utah State in a highly anticipated first-round game at 8:57 Thursday night in Tucson.
While some across the country criticized the tournament selection committee, Martin couldn't stop smiling.
"They respected the fact that we played a strong schedule," Martin said. "They respected the fact that our kids played real well coming down the stretch and grew as a team."
Heading into Sunday's bracket unveiling, most experts tabbed K-State as a No. 6 or No. 7 seed. So did the Wildcats themselves. But they landed a more favorable spot by winning eight of their final 10 games.
"Five is very good," Jamar Samuels said. "We're playing our way into something big."
If K-State defeats Utah State, it will face Wisconsin or Belmont in the second round. Should the Wildcats advance past the tournament's first weekend, as they did a year ago, they could face top-seeded Pittsburgh or Butler in the Sweet 16 at New Orleans. No. 2 seed Florida and No. 3 seed BYU highlight the other half of the region.
Getting that far could be difficult, though. Utah State (30-3), which won the WAC regular season and tournament championships, heads into the postseason ranked 23rd nationally.
"They're a good, well-coached, physical team that deserves to be seeded a little higher," Samuels said. "But they've got a 12-seed and we got them. It's going to be a pretty good game."
K-State coaches began prep work on the Aggies as soon as they appeared next to the Wildcats on TV. Before speaking with media, Martin had already looked over a folder on Utah State and dispersed assistant Matt Figger to begin a more thorough scout.
But the initial impression was strong. Martin respects the job longtime coach Stew Morrill has done at Utah State, and senior forward Tai Wesley is one of the nation's top big men, averaging 14.7 points and eight rebounds.
Martin figured he wouldn't have to talk the Aggies up to his players.
"You understand that in this tournament, regardless of what league you're from, regardless of what the opponent's name is, every team is good," Martin said. "Every team is in this tournament because they're a championship contender. That means that they're worthy of playing high-level games and having this opportunity. I think our leadership will accept that and not prepare differently than when we're playing whoever in our conference."
K-State knew it would face a capable opponent in the first round, but it was more worried about the type of team it would encounter.
"It's about matchups," senior guard Jacob Pullen.
So far, the Wildcats like what lies in front of them.
"I haven't seen too many teams in our bracket that are as athletic as us," said senior forward Curtis Kelly. "So I think we'll be fine. We've just got to focus in."

Larry Randal Padgett
Other Alabama Cases
On the afternoon of August 17, 1990, Cathy Padgett was found dead in her home in Arab, Alabama. She had been stabbed 46 times and there were signs that she had been sexually assaulted. Cathy Padgett had recently separated from her husband, Randal Padgett, who immediately became a suspect in the murder. Randal Padgett gave the police blood samples which were then matched to semen found in Cathy Padgett's body. He was arrested on October 5, 1990.
Before the trial, Padgett's defense attorney recommended that he plead no contest and accept a life sentence with the possibility of parole, but Padgett refused, maintaining that he was innocent. Padgett suggested that his lawyer investigate his girlfriend, Judy Bagwell, who was known for jealous and obsessive behavior, but the lawyer did not pursue the matter. Because of the publicity generated by the brutal murder, Padgett's lawyer requested a change of venue, but it was denied.
At trial, held in May 1992, the prosecution and the defense presented conflicting testimony regarding the semen found in the victim's body. Though the state's tests indicated that the DNA matched Padgett, the defense had conducted its own analysis and found that the blood the state had tested was not Padgett's blood. On the second day of the trial, the state received the results of a second round of tests, which confirmed the defense's finding – the blood tested the first time was not Padgett's. However, prosecutors did not hand over this new evidence until several days later, when the DNA experts who had come to town to testify had already left. Padgett's lawyer then asked for a mistrial, but the judge denied the motion. The jury found Padgett guilty, but did not recommend the death penalty; however, on May 22, 1992, the judge sentenced Padgett to death.
In January 1995, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the conviction, ruling that exculpatory evidence had been wrongly withheld from the defense. At the retrial in 1997, the defense attorney argued that Judy Bagwell had killed Cathy Padgett and planted Randal Padgett's semen on her body. He called Bagwell to the stand and she made several incriminating statements about her jealous and obsessive behavior; prior to the murder, she made repeated phone calls to Cathy Padgett trying to persuade her to divorce her husband, and on one occasion hid in the backseat of Cathy Padgett's car, wearing a disguise, and when caught claimed she simply wanted to talk. The defense also called an acquaintance of Bagwell's to the stand, who testified that she had heard Bagwell talk about her habit of saving her lovers' semen after intercourse and using it as a facial cream or mixing it into protein shakes.
In October 1997, a jury found Randal Padgett not guilty and he was released. Judy Bagwell was never investigated for her involvement in the murder.

And there are a handful of restaurants and bars a lot nearer, so you're not completely isolated. As to the hotel itself, it's rather nice. The rooms are fairly spacious and a little bit of thought has gone into the interior design. Outside, bougainvillea and terracotta roofs give the cream two-storey blocks a typically Mediterranean look. Plus, all the rooms overlook the swimming pool. Throw in some nice extras, like a whirlpool and a steam room, and some impressive mountain views, and you've got a good budget base.

Six years ago, In re Kubin caused a flurry of concern among biotech practitioners, and a short article on this decision was the first post on Patents4Life. That was a pretty big "story" at the time but we all had no idea what was coming our way. It is difficult to think of an area of patent law that hasn't been through a sea change since 2009, or at least has not encountered some very high seas.
There are not enough hours in today to do even a cursory review of the "State of Patent Law" since Patents4Life was started. Of course, one of the hottest topics right now is the scope of s. 101, and its breadth will surely be adjusted as the precedent piles up. And just consider, all of this debate is completely outside of the changes wrought in 35 USC by the AIA, the rise of generic biologicals that was set off by the ACA ("Obamacase") and the Therasense, Teva v. Sandoz and Nautilus decisions.

Happy Birthday Miguel Cotto - 31 Today!
By James Slater: Puerto Rican legend Miguel Cotto celebrates his 31st birthday today; some five weeks ahead of his crunch, must-win rematch with Antonio Margarito. Currently 36-2(29), Junito has won four fights since being shocked by Tony in 2008, and two fights since his brave attempt at upsetting Manny Pacquiao in 2009.
Having recently parted with Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward, Cotto will look to retain his WBA light-middleweight title on Dec. 3rd without the Kronk wizards often invaluable services. But Cottos training issues aside, we have to ask the question: how much has the three-weight ruler got left to offer today? It wasnt long ago (in December of 2009 actually) that Cotto was saying he would retire at the age of 30. Back then, a 34-2(27) Cotto was saying he was content with what hed accomplished in boxing and that after one, maybe two fights hed completely retire from boxing. Cotto said those words to *********.com just weeks after hed been stopped in that brutal battle with Pac-Man. Its clear, then, that after the wounds from that bruising war had healed, Cotto changed his mind and decided to fight on for significantly more than just one, maybe two fights. And who can really blame him? Shortly after the Pacquiao loss, Cotto won his WBA belt with a good showing against the then unbeaten Yuri Foreman, and Cotto found out how hard it can be to walk away a winner. The stoppage win over trash-talker Ricardo Mayorga followed, and we now await the Margarito return. Is Cotto pushing his luck by fighting on longer than he said he would back in late 2009? And is Cotto facing a tougher fight in December now that hes parted company with Steward? All great fighters have one great fight left in them, so the old adage goes. Cotto may not be quite at that late stage yet, but after his long and at times hard career he cant be too far away. Will Cotto dig deep and pull out a momentous revenge win over Margarito? And if he does, will the joy and satisfaction brought by that victory prove enough for Cotto to walk away? Miguel sure would be walking away on top if he did hammer Margarito and then walked, head held high, into the sunset. Of course, Margarito has other, more painful ideas! Link |

TOMM40 poly-T Variants Influence Sensitivity to Lorezapam-induced Impairment in Healthy Elderly
Nunzio Pomara, MD, professor, Department of Psychiatry, NYU School of Medicine, director of Geriatric Psychiatry, Nathan S. Kline Institute
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL SUNDAY, JULY 17, 2011 AT 12:30pm CEST (6:30am ET/USA)
Healthy and cognitively-intact elderly carriers of APOE e4, an established risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease(LOAD), display more pronounced memory deficits following acute administration of lorazepam, a drug used to alleviate anxiety, than non-e4 carriers. However, among non-e4 carriers, there is considerable individual variability. Researchers found a biomarker that could help predictor which individuals were more likely to have suffer memory losses associated with the drug.
Impact of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Usage on Seven Year Outcome of Older Persons with Subjective Cognitive Impairment
Barry Reisberg, MD, professor in the Department of Psychiatry, NYU School of Medicine
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL SUNDAY, JULY 17, 2011 AT 3pm CEST (9amET/USA)
In this study of 91 women with subjective cognitive impairment, 22 received hormone replacement therapy either as estrogen or estrogen-progesterone combined. Of the HRT group, 45.5% progressed to either mild cognitive impairment or dementia over a 7-year period. The researchers conclude that HRT did not influence the progression of SCI. Systematic longitudinal investigation of possible effects of other medications on progression of SCI to MCI/dementia is required to identify substances that may regulate or prevent this process.

I hate reading C.S. Lewis. He has this annoying little habit in his writings. Every time I read something of his, there is always a less-than-quiet voice in my head clamoring, "Look at yourself! Look at your life! You're falling short here! And this part of your life, over here! Oh, and over there, too!" He never fails to force me to look at myself and acknowledge my own most painful shortcomings.
In his book The Screwtape Letters, a wonderful dissertation from Screwtape, a very experienced devil, to his nephew Wormwood, a neophyte tempter working on his first human subject, Screwtape explains the concept of "Christianity And." It's letter XXV, for those who wish to read it in its entirety. At this point in the book, Wormwood has been failing miserably in his efforts to lure his subject from God's presence. Screwtape offers a new tactic to help Wormwood corrupt the subject's faith -- Christianity And.
As humans, there is a need to feel special, to feel unique. We need to feel that there is some place where we belong, a niche we fill. We want to have a community that has a commonality amongst its members. What we fail to do if we are not careful is to believe that Christianity is not enough of a commonality that can bring about that sense of community.
We as GLBT Christians ... To even begin by saying, "We as GLBT Christians," shows the pit I can fall into as just easily as the next person. I have just made myself to be a member of a "Christianity And." By laying claim to Christianity and Homosexuality, Christianity and Transgenderism, Christianity and Heterosexuality, Christianity and Bisexuality, we automatically set walls between ourselves and our brothers and sisters. We have become Christians with a difference, and it can become so easy for us to focus on the difference rather than the Christian ties that bind us together.
I cannot grasp the concept of a "gay church." For that matter, I cannot grasp the concept of a "straight church," either. I absolutely understand that the GLBT population has experienced an unbelievable amount of rejection, suffering, misery and persecution from the "capital-C Church." I am well aware that because of the lack of acceptance offered by most churches, there is a need for GLBT folk to realize that being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender has absolutely no bearing on their ability to be loved by God. For many, one of whom is my wife, it was only by the love shown in a "gay church" that helped her see that God did not condemn her for her choice of partner. Even the mission statement of many GLBT-friendly churches will explain that heterosexual people are welcome and loved as well. But in many of the services, there are more than a few mentions of "we GLBT Christians," what suffering "we GLBT Christians" have endured, how "we GLBT Christians" can spread love and blessings to others, how "we GLBT Christians" deal with coming out, and how "we GLBT Christians" are loved by God. If I were straight and at such a church, I believe I would feel uncomfortable and in some ways unwelcome. Though I would share a Christian bond with the body of believers at the church, I would not share the GLBT bond that everyone else shared. Our differences, our separate "Ands" that defined our Christianity, would seem to be repeatedly brought to the fore and cause, even if unintentionally, division.
Many GLBT people, sadly enough, accurately feel that they have been excluded, are unwanted, and are unwelcome at many churches due to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. However, I wonder if the "gay church community" is any less culpable when it defines faith and spirituality in terms of sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Are we not creating ourselves as just another "Christianity And?" That our Christianity is different from that of the straight community? Are we GLBT Christians just as guilty of building walls of divisiveness between us and straight Christians as they are?
See? Again, I must point my finger at myself first. "We GLBT Christians." Thank you very much, Mr. Lewis, for causing me to acknowledge yet another of my shortcomings. Thanks so much for showing me my Christi-And-ity.
C.S. Lewis

Eagle editorial: Don't harm higher ed
The baseless Statehouse narrative that universities are out of control and ripe for cutting got personal last week for Wichita, which learned that legislative budget proposals could mean the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita would lose the program for first- and second-year medical students and 15 medical resident positions.
Such unacceptable cuts would be as bad for the state's health as they would be for Wichita's economy and status as a medical hub, because of the Wichita campus' crucial role in training and supplying family physicians statewide. And in rolling back the 2011 expansion of the Wichita campus from a two-year to a four-year medical school, KU and the state would be breaking the trust of Wichita-area leaders who were part of raising millions of dollars privately for the expansion.
Other potential consequences at KU sound bad, too, including the closing of the KU School of Medicine-Salina, reducing admitted nursing students by 50 and risking nonrenewal of the National Cancer Institute designation.
But every part of the Kansas Board of Regents system would be affected, whether what prevails is the House's 4 percent cut (a loss of $29 million in operating dollars and $10 million in salary cuts) or the Senate's 2 percent cut ($15.2 million less). Briefing the regents last week, the university presidents forecast faculty layoffs, fewer and larger classes, and higher tuition.
"Did we make somebody mad? Why are we such a target?" wondered regent Christine Downey-Schmidt of Inman about the legislative target on higher ed.
As regent Robba Moran observed with similar frustration, other states view universities as promoting economic growth and are stepping up their investment accordingly.
Yet in Kansas, some lawmakers are questioning the return on the state's investment in higher education and complaining about steady tuition increases – hikes made necessary because overall state funding for universities has dropped 8 percent since 2008.
Much of the legislative budget work ahead is riding on how the two chambers resolve their differences on taxes, and especially whether the House relents and agrees with the governor and the Senate to extend the current 6.3 percent sales-tax rate after July 1. It's possible that Friday's slightly improved revenue estimates will give lawmakers more room to work with.
And let it be said that the state's cash-flow problems are due to Gov. Sam Brownback's 2012 tax-cut plan.
But Brownback, who will kick off a campus tour Monday with visits to Wichita State University and Butler Community College, recognizes that higher education is vital for economic growth, which is why he prefers to keep universities' funding flat in the next state budget.
Now, he must make that case to lawmakers starting with House Appropriations Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, and Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, R-Andover.
And those legislators and others from the Wichita area need to be mindful of the harm that cutting higher ed would do to the region they represent.
For the editorial board, Rhonda Holman

Rue du Faubourg du Temple
Once again, the charm is often to be found when you more or less successfully push some gates to hidden courtyards and alleys.
One remarkable building is the "Palais du Commerce". It was built in the 20's. Today, you will on the ground floor find some not extremely fashionable shops, but walking up the stairs there are some quite nice establishments, studios and offices. Your eyes are however especially attracted by the stained glass windows.
Some quite well-known theatres and clubs can be found along the street, including "La Java", inside the "Palais du Commerce", where as well Maurice Chevalier as Edith Piaf (with Belleville origins) made their first performances.
When crossing Boulevard Jules Ferry (covering the Canal St. Martin – see previous post), there are some trees and the statue of "La Grisette", a typical Parisian profile of the 19th century; selling food or flowers in the surrounding streets or working in one the then existing factories along the canal and probably having a few male friends. (Adam, "Invisible Paris", made a very complete post about her.)
On top of the roofs
I will be away for a bit more than a week - back to Sweden. To give you some distraction, I will for once make a quizz.
I was up on a rather high point the other day and zoomed a little. I will kindly ask you, if you wish, to indicate which of the Paris landmarks you recognise on the pictures you can see in large below the "circled" patchworks. The zooming makes it sometimes not so easy; some are probably very easy but a few may be more difficult. I will leave the comments open, so you can help each other.
There is no prize, but be sure that I will offer some champagne to whoever shows up in Paris and wishes to join me.
I wish you two nice weekends - and the week in between!

Extra post - July 14th - fireworks
Mid-month theme - subways.
Most ot the Paris metro lines were created in the beginning of last century, the first one, line number one, in 1900. The design of the metro entrances and the stations is thus old. In some cases, certain stations were redesigned, "modernised", especially during the 1960's, but there is now a tendency to try to bring them back to their original design. This is e.g. the case with "my" station, Brochant. I posted about it in April last year. The job is still not finished (possible to work only a few night hours when the metro is closed), but the tiles are now soon back, which possibly may be seen on the right photo below.The last line, number 14, came partly into operation in 1998, has progressively been extended and allows now, since 2007, to travel from Gare Saint Lazare to the Olympiades .
It's driverless, has a high frequencey, rather few stops, runs quicker than the older metro lines and allows e.g. a quick connection between the Gare Saint Lazare and the Gare de Lyon. It's the only line with platform edge doors, preventing accidents and suicides. There are plans to extend it futher, as well south- as norhtwards.
Obvioulsy, the design of the stations, platforms etc. is here different. There are even some green areas at some stations.
Broken chains
In a recent post Olivier talked about the General Dumas. This gave me the idea to return to an open space, a park-like square, called Place du Général Catroux (named after a general who joined Charles de Gaulle in London). On the place, you have the statues of Alexandre Dumas père (the father, the elder) and Alexandre Dumas fils (the son, the younger). General Dumas was the father of Alexandre Dumas père and the grandfather of Alexandre Dumas fils. I will revert to them further down, but first I must say a few words about the life of General Thomas Alexandre Dumas, which is quite fantastic. He was born a slave at Haiti, the son of a French nobleman and his slave servant Casette. When he was 8, his father returned to France and sold him, but later regretted it and made him come to France. In the meantime the mother had died. Thomas Alexandre got a reasonable education, enrolled the army. This is when he took the name Dumas (meaning "from the farm", which was the nickname her mother had had). As we were then around 1789 and as the French Revolution left room for a non-nobleman to become an officer and thanks to his bravery he advanced quickly and was the first black man to become a general in the French Army in 1793. The Austrians nicknamed him "the Black Devil". Slavery was abandoned in French colonies in 1794, but reinstated in 1802. General Dumas participated in Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. On his way back he was captured, stayed in prison some three years and got seriously ill. He later refused to participate in an expedition to fight a rebellion at Haiti. That meant the end of his military career and he received no pension. He died in 1806 at the age of 44. His son Alexandre was then 4 years old. Thanks to his wife, his son and grandson, General Dumas was later granted some recognition. He got a statue erected at this place which was however destroyed by the Nazi occupants during WW II. So, we can find the statue of Alexandre Dumas père, author of - among tens of novels – "The Three Musketeers", "The Count of Monte Cristo"... He had a rather complicated life also, but has at least received all the honours and is buried at the Pantheon (see previous post) together with other French leading personalities. His (illegimate)son, Alexandre Dumas fils, has also his statue here. He's buried at the Montmartre cemetery (see previous post). Alexandre Dumas fils is more particularly known as the author of "The Lady of the Camelias" ("Camille"), inspired by his relationship with a courtesan, Marie Duplessis, who died young. Alexandre made the adaption to what became Verdi's opera "La Traviata", first time performed at the Fenice theatre in Venice (see previous posts). Marie Duplessis has also her tomb at the Montmartre cemetery (see previous post). To replace the disappeared statue of General Dumas, a new sculpture to his honour was installed at this place earlier this year (see also top picture). It symbolises the broken slave chains. So, now, it's again the place of the "three Dumas". (In the building you see behind lived Charles Gounod, composer of "Faust", "Ave Maria"...) There is a fourth statue on this place, of Sarah Bernhardt, who of course also played the role of "The Lady of the Camelias". She lived for some time in the building you can see below (with some surprising decorations) in the neighbour street, rue Fortuny (see previous post). Sarah is buried at the Père Lachaise cemetery (see previous post). Another link between the personalities here is also that the statue of Alexandre Dumas père was created by Gusatve Doré, who had a love story with Sarah Bernhardt. Gustave was perhaps more known as an engraver and illustrator, including e.g. of Charles Perrault's fairy tales, "Tales of Mother Goose" ("Little Red Riding Hood", "Sleeping Beauty", "Puss-in-Boats"... later retold by the Brothers Grimm). Hopefully this picture can give you an idea of how the above personalities were linked to each other. The Place du Général Catroux is surrounded – including the neighbour streets - by some magnificent mansions (hôtels particuliers). This includes more particularly maybe the "Hôtel Gaillard", now belonging to the French National Bank (see previous post). I'm sorry, this was long, but as it was all linked together... This is where you can find the place.

TestimonialsThe customers are speaking only in a personal capacity, and are not compensated for their opinions given"I've sold jewelry to South Florida Coins several times and not only was I offered significantly more than elsewhere, the employees are friendly and the offices are lovely and secure. I plan to use South Florida Coins again in the future." Meg, West Palm Beach"I inherited a coin collection from my father and had no idea as to its value. The staff at South Florida Coins took the time to explain what each coin was and how they arrived at the value they put on it. I felt very comfortable that they offered me a fair price and would certainly recommend their services" "I find it hard to get around, so arranged an appointment for a house call with South Florida Coins. I was a little apprehensive inviting strangers into my home, but George, the owner put me at ease. He was friendly and knowledgeable and put me under no pressure to sell. I told many of my friends who are in the same position about his company." "I made substantial investments in gold back in the 1980s and now prices are high enough to make a decent profit I decided to sell. I was worried about accepting payment for a six-figure sum from a company I had not dealt with before, but the transaction went very smoothly. I have since bought and sold precious metals several times through South Florida Coins and was very happy with the prices I received." "I shopped around several different gold buyers and found many to be dishonest, opportunistic or even downright rude. I was very relieved to find South Florida Coins, where I was greeted warmly, treated with fairness and patience and consistently received the highest prices I found in the area. Stepping into the waiting room, I was surprised at the elegance of the premises and delighted to find delicious refreshments provided while I was waiting! Overall, it was an unexpectedly pleasant discovery and turned a chore into a pleasure." "I have actively purchased gold/silver/platinum coins for more than 40 years from both national and local dealers. Five years ago, I found South Florida Coins, and have enjoyed doing business with them, and only them, since. George Hornberger, the proprietor, is a well respected expert in precious metals, fine jewelry, and numismatics. While his pricing is always best, I have found him to be the most honorable and ethical businessman I have ever dealt with; and would recommend he and his staff most highly." |

Deadly clashes in Libyan towns
Fighting in western Libya left at least 14 people killed and 80 others wounded in 24 hours, the ruling National Transitional Council has confirmed.
"Four people were killed and 35 others were wounded in Zuwarah," 100 kilometres west of Tripoli, near the border with Tunisia, the interim authorities said in a statement on Tuesday (local time).
Jawher Belhir, a doctor in Zuwarah, gave a higher toll, saying five people were killed and 42 wounded in the western town.
The NTC also said "10 people were killed and 45 others were hurt in the (nearby towns) of Regdalin and Jamil".
It said clashes were ongoing and that a delegation had been sent to the region in a bid to "calm the situation and solve the problem".
Fierce fighting erupted when former rebels from Zuwarah were detained as they passed the town of Jamil. The interim authorities said they intervened to obtain their release and negotiated an agreement.
But after the men were released, armed men from Zuwarah launched an attack.
Festering tensions
Since the collapse of slain leader Moamar Gaddafi's regime last October, tensions have festered in and around Zuwarah, where residents belong to the Amazigh minority.
Residents of Jamil and Regdalin are accused by former rebels of standing by the regime of Gaddafi during the 2011 conflict.
Earlier, Othman Ben Sassi, a member of NTC, said the situation in his native town of Zuwarah was "critical".
"[Zuwarah] is being hit by rockets fired from the (nearby) towns of Regdalin and Jamil," he said.
Libyan interior minister Fawzi Abdelali told journalists efforts were underway to put an end to the fighting.
"The interior ministry has sent a force of 200 men towards the region," he said, urging both sides to act with restraint.
These clashes come soon after tribal fighting in the southern city of Sabha, which left more than 147 dead and 395 wounded in a week, before the government imposed a ceasefire.
The interim government has struggled to impose its authority on dozens of brigades comprised of former rebels who fought against Gaddafi's forces and who now have become a law unto themselves.

KANSAS CITY — Kansas City police say a bank ATM customer apparently took revenge on a man who tried to rob him.
Sgt. Chris Lantz told The Kansas City Star that the incident happened about 9 a.m. Saturday outside a Bank of America in northern Kansas City.
The robbery victims - an older man and woman - were using the ATM when a gunman approached them and took their money.
As the robber walked away, the man who was robbed got out of the car with a gun. Lantz says the man yelled for the robber to stop.
When the robber turned around and pointed his gun, the man opened fire and struck the robber in the head, police said.
The man was in stable condition.

Air spring keep your ride firmly planted Paul Gibson, product manager for the Ride-Rite division of Firestone Industrial Products, told a wonderfully illustrative story about someone he knows who decided to put a snowplow on the front of sport utility vehicle. When it came time to raise the heavy plow after installation, instead of the plow going up, it was the rear of the vehicle that lifted off the ground.
Gibson told the story to illustrate the effect that a heavy payload – and that includes pulling a trailer -- can have on a pickup truck or sport utility vehicle or recreation vehicle, albeit usually at the rear of the truck, and to remind people that air springs offer an inexpensive solution.
But, he added, air springs do more than keep a loaded vehicle level. They also help level off-center loads, reduce suspension fatigue and bottoming out, improve ride quality in all conditions and also vehicle stability.
"Keeping a heavily loaded vehicle level is essential for maintaining proper steering control and braking effectiveness, for reducing tire wear and even keeping headlight beams on the road," he explained.
Though more widely known as a tire maker, Firestone has been in the air spring business since 1934, and has been an original equipment air spring supplier ever since, on vehicles ranging from a mid-30's Plymouth to the Hummer H2.
Firestone's aftermarket air springs can be used on everything from a pickup truck to street and hot rods.
Gibson noted that the basic air spring kit costs around $300, and that many installations are available with no-drill installation. The kit includes brackets, air springs, hardware, air line and separate valves for manual inflation. Installation usually takes less than two hours. Optional accessories are available so ride height can be adjusted from switchgear mounted on the dashboard or so off-roaders can re-inflate tires after a day on the sand.

LuvmyPathfinder 5pts I wouldn't pay 42k for this car but i would definitely pay for the base model with the sport brakes in a heartbeat!Who the hell buys a car like this to have navigation and leather seats and all that other bull crap. That is why they make the G's. My Z would be seeing the track and canyons.
608gamer07 5pts @supervette+1! Good words. Either a 2011 Mustang GT or 370Z would be a blast to drive.@bruceleroy81+1 to you as well! The Mustang and 370Z are clearly targeting different audiences. Also good words!
ssdajoker 5pts @ EBOY and anyone other mustang haters, If the 5.0 mustang is a one trick pony, then the bmw m3 and all cars like it are as well, it has been proven that the 5.0 and M3 are a virtual tie on a track, unless you get the Boss, then you will walk all over the 370Z, M3, etc. The mustang and Z used to go head to head in car mags every year, they are not direct competitors but they are cross shopped. The 370Z is very sweet but people see the 5.0 Mustang with a track pack a better deal because it handles like an M3 for 328i money, one trick pony my foot!!!!!
ssdajoker 5pts @ EBOY and anyone other mustang haters, If the 5.0 mustang is a one trick pony, then the bmw m3 and all cars like it are as well, it has been proven that the 5.0 and M3 are a virtual tie on a track, unless you get the Boss, then you will walk all over the 370Z, M3, etc. The mustang and Z used to go head to head in car mags every year, they are not direct competitors but they are cross shopped. The 370Z is very sweet but people see the 5.0 Mustang with a track pack a better deal because it handles like an M3 for 328i money, one trick pony my foot!!!!!
BrokenVow 5pts The Z I would go for is 34K and has an LSD, forged aluminum wheels, a nice bbk on all four wheels (not just front) and a crisp 6spd manual. Not to mention similar materials and quality to a similarly spec'd GT Premium, with Brembos and LSD, which is also about 34k.
supervette 5pts Lets end all this crap about whos better 350z or mustang. All these guys here are acting like they are 15. Both are outstanding machines and any man with testosterone would love to drive one any day of the week. Im sure the Mustang guys would love to drive a 350 one day and vice versa. Both are beutiful cars and lets all just grow up and quit hating on each other :-)
Bruceleroy81 5pts All this comparison with the New Z vs. the Mustang is pointless.Nissan is clearly targeting other roadsters such as the BMW Z4, Benz SLK 350, and Porsche Boxster & Cayman because a Performance 6-cylinder Roadster is what the 370Z is, and it's also the most affordable one.I test drove the 370Z before when I went to get my Altima serviced and I was blown away. It felt anything but cheap.I don't know a V6 2-seating roadster that isn't expensive and getting a car that has Porsche performance and built quality with a Nissan price isn't anything to feel shady about.
true_enthusiast 5pts @AstnMrtn007Of course the RX-8 was smoother, it has a rotary! Which also guzzles gas and oil by the way.
AstnMrtn007 5pts I admire the performance of the Z. The stopping distance, in particular, is downright outrageous. It is a very balanced car in its performance as it does just about everything well.That being said, I'd never buy one. Its looks aren't pretty (not nearly as awful as the rest of the Nissan stable, though) and it isn't a polished machine. I haven't driven the 2011, but the 2010 I drove was very rough around the edges. Interior had some rather cheap tidbits, and the engine seemed like it was about to explode once I hit 5k rpm. Also seemed a little shaky when cornering hard. The 2006 RX-8 I drove seemed much more composed and a better car overall despite being slower to 60.
Syncho 5pts The 370Z looks great, but Nissan needs to make an adjustment to the Snaggle Tooth looking grill. It diminishes the 370Z's good looks. BTW: the 1990 to 1996 300Z was one of the best looking cars ever built.
BlackDynamiteNYC 5pts You guys DO KNOW this has $10k in options, and starts in the low $30's, right?Those numbers are very impressive, and those looking at Caymans might want to test a Z, just to make sure....If you are looking at Pony Cars, you are in the wrong if you don't take a good look at the Z!BD
rbc5 5pts I'll bet anything that most people commenting do not have 42K to buy a car. But hey, let's say that an SS is much better for the money or an STI or Mustang GT. I have driven a 350 and it feels pretty fast to me although the 2 seat config I don't like. Still an amazing car. Let's agree that it's all about what an individual prefers. I rather shell out 35K for an Evo GSR that probably a few people own than for a mustang GT or an SS that can be seen in every corner. It's just my opinion.
b1adesofcha0s 5pts Just registered here to comment on this article.I'm the one who ran 12's with a stock 370Z and I have to say it's pretty cool to be used as a reference to defend my car :)My car was completely stock (automatic) when I made that run and it was also my first run ever at a drag strip. I might have done a little better by adjusting tire pressure, taking the spare wheel out, etc. but I was already happy with the time I got.I will say that the 5.0 Mustang is an impressive machine and would probably beat my car at a track or at the drag strip, assuming equally skilled drivers in both cars. The 370Z needs a serious update from Nissan to keep up and improve sales.Regarding the price, MSRP may be $42k, but you can get one easily for thousands less. Probably like $35-37k, but not too sure on that. I've seen auto sport + touring go for around $33k and nav is a $2k package.
TeamDCX 5pts I personally like the 370z, but the $42k is a bit much. At this price point I would personally acquire a 08 BMW M3 or new a Boss 302 w/o the dealer mark-up, of course.
SumDumGuy 5pts @04z06 It's a fog light which is required for europe.@608gamer07 The boss mustangs are awesome and the fact it can beat a 911 on LS is impressive, but the vehicle was specifically tuned for that track. I'm not trying to take anything away from the thing, but it shouldn't be too surprising.The Z is a great car, I was actually considering buying one, but the mustang definitely has it beat performance wise. On a tight track the Z may have a slight edge, but overall it's going to go to the mustang.
Pathfinder2041 5pts I'm glad they had a fix for the brakes, but for 42K... I'll wait and buy one used....
three70z 5pts Wow u can't read either. His car is stock and he ran 12s and like I said u tard it is not normal but can be done if u know how to drive. Can I run 12s stock? No, im not a good enough but im talking about a Z's stock potential
eboy 5pts @three70, exactly. There's someone on that forum who has a 370 with ONLY bolt-ons that broke 12's in the 1/4. I think he's got a youtube of it?
three70z 5pts http://www.the370z.com/track-autocross-drifting-dragstrip/32961-ran-12s-my-first-time-ever-drag-strip-stock.html@Fox1x funny you think Insideline, R&T, Motortrend times are the best times pissible. Try looking into a cars community instead of magazine numbers fool. I never said 12's are done on a normal basis but 12's can be done.
fox1x 5pts @370Z ... I've never seen a stock 370 running 12's at either of the tracks I frequent. I even looked on YouTube. I call BS on it running 12's stock. InsideLine, Road&Track, MotorTrend have never got number close to 12's with a stock Z test.
new22003 5pts I have always been a big fan of the datsun/nissan z cars. While I like the 370 a lot, it is falling behind the competition in performance and car per $.
skyguy 5pts For 42K you can get a new base Corvette with 100 more hp, 160 lb ft more torque, same gas mileage, 0-60 in 4 sec, and more storage space.
three70z 5pts @zinc what facts are being ignored. I gave pricing that came from kbb. Other than that I posted a better stock quarter do u need to see a time slip? O and maybe I bashed a 5.0 without brembo because there is that big a difference between brembo pack and non brembo pack
04z06 5pts Anyone know what the black square in the back is? Have been intrigued since i saw the 370's in the street. It looks like a trailer hitch connector.
thang 5pts Ppl aren't that smart that paying $60k~80k(makeup) for a $40k POS stang and 10MPG. all the #s are BS to me!!
Rhygin 5pts I still find the looks odd, not as ugly as its big sibling, the GTR, but it does not appeal to me standing still.
ZincYellowBlownSVT 5pts And we have a winner for most ignorant fanboys: 370Z! At least the Mustang vs. Camaro threads revolve around facts. Most every 370Z fan here is simply ignoring them.
mo_pho 5pts $42K actually doesn't sound too shabby for this kind of performance, although I certainly wouldn't call it a bargain.
noboomer 5pts I think it's a fantastic car. I also think a lot of it's competitors are fantastic as well. Furthermore, I think the used market for that price (such as a corvette) are really really good if not preferable. And that, to me, is the Z's major problem- it's lost in the crowd. The 350z never had that problem. All it was really up against was the Mustang.
three70z 5pts @608If u can than that is great but from a performance aspect would you go out and say u wouldn't pay 40k for the 5.0 when u can get its max performance at 32?Just a little added info for those that don't know, the Z can run 12s in the quarter stock. 13.4 is like decent driver quarter mile
608gamer07 5pts @three70z You do know that for 32k you can get a 5.0L with the Brembos and the 3.73s right? In fact 32,085 dollars to be exact. The Mustang GT starts at 29,995.@eboy Around Laguna Seca: 2010 Porsche 997 Turbo S=1:40.11 Boss Laguna Seca Edition=1:39.50. What is the Porsche like 100 grand more than the LS Boss 302?
alfietcr 5pts I own a 2008 one, this one got too expencive for me...so ill wait for a used one or something else, once they go over 30 to 35 is all downhill, expect the z to change or disapear in the near future. Turbo 4 with 300 hp less weight and hopefuly at 35 with all the goodies
three70z 5pts Wow you would think 90% of the car people out there would have a little more brain. Why are all of you blah blah 42k car blah blah. You do realize a base Z w/sport is roughly 33k in 6mt MSRP go look at the invoice pricing and expect to pay that or possibly 1k-1.5k under that. Actually I will do it for you since yall are to dumb to go look. invoice on 6mt 2011 coupe w/sport 32,619.00. Now im sure you can get that down at least 500 lower if not more depending what time in the year it is. Now tell me 32k for the exact same performance if not better than the 42k ver due to weight savings is not a good deal. Go get your 32k. For that price you can get a 5.0 without the brembo which is nothing but an engine because the suspension and breaking is a pos.
Importonly 5pts that boss is super cheez ball looking with it's terrible paint job and i bet the materials used in this car smoke any 5.0. I would love to have just a regular z370 instead of paying for the touring package. this is a luxury sports car for sure and the price shows it but I couldn't fit that bill.I own a g35 sedan and it feels like no domestic I've ever driven. much more refined.
eboy 5pts It's funny how so many Detroit-metal, "I dun't drive J&p-junk," nationalistic buffoons pounce on this thread. I don't go on FixOrRepairDaily SlowStang nor Chevy Retardo threads and bash their cars...because I don't care. The Nissan 370Z along with its big brother GT-R must stir up that much envy...if big bad, I need a 12-gazillion cubic inch motor to compensate for my tiny penis fanboys lurk this thread, LOL!!!!oh yeah btw, you see the 370Z and Porsche in one sentence, but you don't see that with a crude 1-trick pony: five-point-slow nor Chevy Retardos...Pabst blue ribbon, redneck beer is not the same level as champagne....zsa, zsa.
vtirocz 5pts @Dasnow:Not sure if you already know this but the GT's engine is significantly more powerful and has nearly identical EPA fuel economy ratings to the 370Z. Given the lower price of the GT, I think it's a better comparison than the V6 Mustang (which starts at $23k). 370Z: 332hp, 270ft-lb, EPA fuel economy = 18/26GT: 412hp, 390ft-lb, EPA fuel economy = 17/26
Facelessdrone2005 5pts IMHO this is a terrible article written by a fanboy. No mention of the seats that are too narrow for a 36" waist, gunslit side visibility, the stupid gas gauge that doesn't match the rest of the instruments, or the hideous door handles. Also no mention of the reliability issues and brake fade found elsewhere (and mentioned in these comments). Note, I'm not saying it's a bad car, just a bad article.
Dasnow 5pts Why don't you put the Camaro RS vs Mustang V6 against the 370 Z! I wonder who wins? Both the SS and the GT are V8s if I am correct, the Z is a V6. Oh by the way so is the Nismo!
v8vader 5pts i don't understand the bad-mouthing on the price. a similarly optioned Mustang would be at the same level.speaking of, throw this into the ring (at it's $33k sports package base price) with a 5.0 and let's have ourselves a COMPARISON TEST! come ooooooon!
ZincYellowBlownSVT 5pts Ok... Yet you still avoid the facts about how the Mustang & Camaro own the Z on the track and the strip.
eboy 5pts Mustangs and Camaros are like big, brand new homes (4000+ sq ft, swimming pool, 5 car garage, etc.)in some unknown, brand new community, but cost cheap. Only to drop significantly in value after the bank forecloses on them (analogous to the resale value of domestic cars). Sporty imports are like small homes that are priced expensively, but in quality neighborhoods....you get what you pay for.
ZincYellowBlownSVT 5pts @ eboyimportsmasherSS already showed you those trackable Mustangs and Camaros against the NISMO 370Z. And the American cars dominated. Or did you decide to just skip those facts? Also, I assume you are completely ignoring the Boss 302, which as I said, beat the C6 ZO6 (06MY), E92 M3, 09 GT-R, R8 5.2, SLS, and obviously any Boxster & 370Z around Laguna Seca.Skidpad numbers are great, but they don't always indicate the best handling. A GT500 can pull higher skidpad numbers than a Corvette Grand Sport. But is the GT500 a better handler? NO.MT was NOT comparing the Z to the Boxster in any real handling measure, just saying it has a similar skidpad number.Now, the Z is a fine car and good track car, but it is simply outclassed by the Camaro SS and dominated by the Mustang GT (and Boss 302). It's ok, those are both really good cars, so it's not a knock to the Z. And you can change your old-school ricer opinion of American cars (well, except the Challenger) because they can HANDLE!
Dr.Awkward 5pts To all those in the peanut gallery who who think $42,000 seems high, please try this experiment:1. Go to Ford.com, select build and price, select mustang GT Premium.2. Select all equivalent options to those of the 370z.3. Record Price.I got $41,700 without going overboard and that was without selecting the 19" wheels which would have tipped the scale. The Z costs what it costs but it comes with all available options for the marked price. The Mustang (and many other comparable cars) sucker you in with a "base model" price but the car you really want costs much much more.
SuperCJ427 5pts @fasthatch ... Z turns more heads ... hilarious. It looks a dog shitting. U got a total wrong impression of a Mustang. Even a Shelby GT500 SS is a mustang too and has same shape. May be u should see one in real and learn what a stunner it is. Mustang design stands the test of time. These Zs come and go.
SuperCJ427 5pts At that price, simply get a BOSS std edition. I think i don't even have say ... BOSS will simply annihilate this Z. Its a no brainer. And Mustangs look much better than Zs.
04z06 5pts Like most jap cars it is over priced, underpowered and girly looking. In the category of affordable performance cars the gt5.0 wins.And unlike some have mentioned the 5.0 is not a straight line only car as most ricers like to categorize american cars. There are good comparisons of a 5.0 against m3 and other "good handling cars" and the mustang has held its ground against them very well.
ImportsmasherSS 5pts Zinc.. haha It was my pleasure. Eboy...The 370 is a good car no doubt about it but for the price you can get a faster in every way Mustang gt,Camaro ss. Plus the 370 sounds like shit compaired to the Mustang or Camaro. The raspy thrashy high strung v6 is outdated and unrefind.
eboy 5pts "the 370Z Touring attain a 1.01 g average on the skidpad. That's slightly stickier than a mid-engine, no-option $60,000 Porsche Boxster S at 1.0 g, mind you."Yes, and where are those "trackable" Mustangs and Camaros??? Even if the Z is considered "inferior" to a Boxster, that's an honor that a lil' o Nissan product is compared to a prestigious German sport car.
Trackaholic 5pts Before 2011, the Mustang was slower than the Z, but still had decent handling when equipped with the track pack.The 5.0 in the 2011 Mustang is an awesome engine, that totally elevates the Mustang's performance.As far as handling goes, the Z is probably a bit better due to lower weight, lower CG, etc, but the higher power of the Mustang makes it faster on pretty much any track. AutoX might be a different story.The biggest different between the cars might be in overall feel. Both in how the car feels when you drive it, and in how the car makes you feel as a driver.I own a 2003 350Z with some suspension mods and love it, even though it is only 5.5 sec 0-60. What's funny is I can remember whan anything under 7 seconds was considered fast. It blows my mind that a car that goes 0-60 in under 5 and does a mid 13 second 1/4 mile is now considered slow by some people.I'm just happy that we have a number of great cars to choose from, that all perform very well.-T
ZincYellowBlownSVT 5pts @ importsmasherSSHaha, thanks for posting everything I was going to! Please put ignorant people like eboy in their place. And why is he comparing a $90K GT-R to $35K Mustang GTs and Camaro SSs?Also, last time I checked, the Boss 302 beat the GT-R around Laguna Seca. Without its optional R-compound tires. One trick ponies? The actual numbers the Fords and Chevys put up and the strip & the track are giving you the Dikembe Mutombo finger wag. Get those weak Nissans outta here!

New music... I've been needing some for a while now. I am tired of rehashing the same stuff over and over while traveling. But how can I find music from bands I've never heard of without first being told of those bands?
Enter the Music genome Project. The project, started 8 years ago, analyzes music that you are currently listening to and then picks recommendations based on that. So far it has been spot on!
Sites like Pandora.com utilizes these algorithms to give you a "one stop shop" of music you can listen to for free. Think of it as a radio station that plays songs you really enjoy nonstop. Not only that Pandora also has a free client that runs on mobile smartphones.
In fact it knew more about my musical tastes than I did. It would seem this is the kind of music I really enjoy listening to:
I have discovered so many bands I have never heard of before too...
The net effect? I just dropped about $75 on iTunes and Zune Marketplace in new music! And I am loving every minute of it.
Unfortunately, not all people are getting this. The dinosaurs of old are still roaming through the jungle. Can they be stopped?
There is hope. Sometimes you can teach an old dog new tricks. As NBC recently found out with the 2008 Olympics the Internet and all its New Media actually drives growth towards Old Media. Make an interactive site that gets people interest? Watch how your TV Ratings go up! Make a service that exposes people to new music? Watch how your record sales go up. Will the RIAA learn these lessons too?
Music is food for the soul. Some of the best ideas I have ever come up with happened while I sat in my basement, alone, a glass of wine and music I could FEEL.
Feed yourself before it goes away.

I've been using Pandora since shortly after its release and still have not lost interest. While there are times I want to hear precisely what I want to hear (then I launch Rhapsody) Pandora is great listening all day long. I have stations for different moods -- hear music I've never heard that I like mixed with stuff I already love. I couldn't be happier.

Monday - Thursday, April 27 - April 30, 2015 from 5:00pm to 9:00pm Class Size: 8 Hands-On Workshop
Kitchen cabinets are one of the major reasons ordinary people get transformed into woodworkers, and given how much you can pay for obviously low-quality cabinets, that's no surprise. In four intensive nights you'll build your own Euro-style floor cabinet, complete with door and drawer, to take home with you. More importantly, you'll learn how to make more cabinets, in different sizes and styles, what tools you need, how to choose and install hardware, and a bit about installation.
For your safety, when attending a hands-on class, be sure to wear closed toe footwear.
