What about Obama's amnesia on immigration right up until the election?
How come these candidates won't come out to the West Coast -and not only Beverly Hills? Obama is a candyass silver spoon elltitist like Romney. Neither are good for America. Hey Tony, why are you putting toll roads on the 10 and 110 freeways? These were paid for long ago. Don't you care about the working man? |

First this was on a conspiracy show, now it's real. FEMA's future concentration camps are now being activated. First it will be illegals, then homeless, then protestors, then patriots, then vets and former cops, then middle class people thrown out of their homes -and then you and your family. http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-0... http://www.dailypaul.com/191144/battlefield-u... Are we really going to let the international bankers who have hijacked our federal government round us up when the economy falls appart as was done in Nazi Germany? If we allow this, we deserve this for being weak and lazy. A one world government might have been ok if the world ellites hadn't proven themselves to be tyrannical, genocidal, almost alien-like anti-human, psychopaths. Think about this stuff for a minute. If a concerned average citizen criticizes the foreign banker bought federal government when the economy completely implodes they can now be labeled as terrorists/combatants and thus rounded up and jailed indefinitely with no trial. After a dollar collapse there will most likely be martial law imposed where if you criticize the UN or foreign banks occupying/"helping" us you are a terrorist and need to be put a FEMA detention center. Similarly you could see this planned tyranny kick into high gear when we the population is at weakest -for example after the CIA instigates a false flag in America and brings all the power grids down causing multiple nuclear reactor meltdowns -or they releases a lab created killer virus. Then the federal government will label anyone that doesn't want to go to a FEMA concentration camp as a terrorist All this uncertainty must be addressed now -nonviolently-, while the U.S. population is still strong and can fight back if we are really being weakened/invaded by a bunch of offshore United Nation backed foreign bankers. Don't wait till we are at our weakest and can't defend ourselves effectively. The government is ok, but it's highest officials have been bought/hijacked by offshore banking cartels. The longer we wait to fix this, the harder it will get to stop this in a peaceful way. There is no need to get mad at Obama or any of these guys, they are simply bought out puppets. Right now we need answers. ------If you think the foreign banker owned federal government is terrible now in broad daylight with all this unchecked financial fraud, wait till the power grids go down and the lights and cameras turn off. When they think no one is watching -that's when their true tyranical nature will be revealed.------ You will have no one to blame but yourelf -The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing.Edmund Burke. And by all means support Ron Paul. Ron is like an average sane person walking onto the Jerry Springer set (our current federal government) and saying -seriously guys WTF. Come on, is this real or are you guys ALL getting paid to put on this idiotic show. I'm going to bring in my hard hitting investigation team and live cameras right right now to show America what is going on unscripted so we finally know the truth. Oh yeah and Jerry, what's the deal with that Federal Reserve -let's see those godamned journal entries finally! Obama and his Chicago mob boss government need to be flushed in 2012. Let's hit the reset button on our current leaders and at least slow this trainwreck down before it's too late. Get informed and and tell everyone while you still can. http://www.topix.com/forum/news/immigration/T... Anyone but Obama in 2012. |

Too bad Ron Paul dropped out -hopefully he changes his mind and runs third party. What the hell happened with him?
Jun 24, 2012
Ron Paul dropped out because he is a true patriot. He know that he couldn't win in the first place and if he ran third party he would just syphon off votes from Romney ensuring a win for the obamanation, who he definitely doesn't want to have another disastrous 4 years... |
Jun 24, 2012
Romney and Obama are the same -funded by the same megabanks like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs. One of Obama's biggest political donors is Bain Capital -Romney's company. WTF? Ron Paul knows this. So he should know if he runs third party it won't make a difference if he does not win. At least he tried to change this trainwreck. Ron Paul would pull voters who are fed up from the left and right equally. He could easily win. I'm starting to think he may have been threatened or may have a terminal illness he is keeping a lid on. One thing is for sure -he has America's respect no matter what he decides to do. |

Ya gotta love Antonio. He is like a cartoon version of an arrogant prancing made up crooked politician with an entourage of lackies following him everywhere he goes.
Any where but La La land wouldn't elect him Dog Catcher. They would laugh him out of town. I'm sure voters gives a crap about what Antonio thinks of Romney. NOT! |

Vote Rombama or Obamney because it makes no difference to the free world which one wins. |

Funny, most politicians have amnesia at one time or another...it would be very refreshing to find one who possesses integrity, honesty, loyalty, decisiveness, and the ability to negotiate. How many of these traits does the current Obeyme (Thanks Jack for the perfect moniker) exhibit? What about Romney? I think an abding love of country should be abundantly apparent as well. Who shows more love for this country and her legal citizens???

Well I can see only 25 from where
I'm setting right now, but the tub over in the corner has another 50 plus 4 in my bedroom, then 3 loaded 75 round drums and 2 100 round drums. I would have to check my inventory sheet to see how many cases are in there for reloading purposes. I just got in another 1000 round case of 124gr hollow points the other day but havn't added them to the list yet.
Although this might sound a bit excessive to some, I look at it like this. If S does HTF then I am ready. If not, it's gonna be a very long time befor I ever have to reload.

Signal Transformers Information
(left to right) THT transformer | Ethernet isolation connector | Video isolation transformer
Image credit: Schaffner EMC | MPS Industries
Signal transformersare used as a step-up / step-down, isolating, or impedance matching component in electronic devices. Power transformers, which carry current, are generally not suited for use as signal transformers and vice versa. Signal transformers are used in typical electronics applications, including telecommunications, radio frequency (RF), audio, video, and general purpose uses.
In general, a transformer consists of two wire coils wrapped around a core; the coils are termed primary and secondary and are separated by a medium such as air, water, or metal. The primary coil is typically connected to a source supplying a current or some other signal. When this signal is applied to the primary coil, it creates and electromagnetic field and induces a voltage in the secondary coil. Based on the number of windings per coil, a transformer can reduce or increase the applied signal, or simply isolate it, depending on the device's construction and intended application.

Signal transformers may be used in traditional power transformer applications, such as signal isolation and stepping signals up or down.
Isolation prevents signal crossing and current leakage between two circuits. For more specific information about isolation transformers, please visit the Isolation Transformers Selection Guide.
Step-up/down - Transformers that step signals up or down are used to match signals between two different circuits or devices. This process is related to impedance matching, described below. Transformers that output a signal identical to the input are known as one-to-one devices.
Impedance matching is used to match impedances between two different devices, such as a speaker and an amplifier. If the impedance varies, the signal will become distorted and its quality will deteriorate.
Lighting transformers are used to provide suitable power to lights and lighting systems.
Inverters are used in inverter circuits, such as power conversion inverters.
Other signal transformer uses include medical applications, as switch mode devices in power supplies, and telecommunications use.
Signal Transformer Types
Signal transformers can be classified primarily by the type of signal they carry.
Audio transformers are used for voice and data transmissions with receivers, amplifiers, speakers, and audio cables. They typically operate on frequencies from 300 Hz to 20 kHz.
Baluns are used to convert a balanced signal - comprised of two signals working against each other - to an unbalanced one, or a single signal working against a ground. Like impedance matching transformers, baluns are used to gain compatibility between two different systems or devices. They are commonly found in radio, television, video, and audio applications; they may also match impedance in all of these uses.
Digital transformers carry signals comprised of discrete values, as opposed to analog signals of continuous functions. They are frequently used in audio applications to isolate signals or match impedance.
Electronics transformers refer to current or voltage transformers used to test electronic devices.
RF transformers carry radio frequency (RF) signals ranging from about 3 kHz to 300 GHz. RF transformers are typically low-power devices used for impedance matching.
Telecom / LAN transformers are typically used for isolation and may feature high bandwidth and fast switching speeds.
Form Factor
Signal transformers may also be classified based on their mounting or form factor.
Chassis mount transformers are screwed directly to an instrument chassis using tabs and fasteners.
Chip transformers are integrated circuit (IC) chips manufactured using thin film technology. Signal transformers are far more likely to be found in chip form when compared to power transformers.
Dish mount devices are secured to a chassis or other flat surface using a simple rubber washer and a metal disk. A hole in the middle of the disk allows the transformer to be screwed down.
Modular jacks typically take the form of an RJ-45 form factor and are ideally suited to signal transformers.
Printed circuit board (PCB) mounting is common in signal transformers. More information about PCB mount devices is found below.
Package Type
Many signal transformers are either semiconductor chips or are PCB-mounted modules. The main types of packaging are:
Connectorized transformers attach to PCBs and other devices using electrical connectors.
Flat pack (FPAK) transformers mount using leads - gull wing or flat - found on two or four of the device's sides. FPAK devices are often surface-mounted ceramic devices with excellent thermal and electrical performance.
Surface mount (SMT) devices feature a flat pad surface which is soldered onto a PCB. SMT is a newer technology which has largely replaced through-hole (THT) mounting, and has enabled smaller components, simpler and faster automated assembly, and better electrical performance and mechanical vibration resistance.
Through hole technology (THT) devices have relatively long leads which are fed through holes in a PCB and soldered to the opposite side of the board. While THT products are capable of stronger mechanical connections when compared to SMT devices, THT drawbacks include increased cost of drilling holes and the inability to produce smaller components.

Audio transformers improve sound quality by removing interference from audio signals.
Current Sense Transformers
Current sense transformers are used to detect and measure current. There are two basic types of products: switch-mode transformers for power conversion applications, and precision-measurement transformers for instrumentation applications.
Gate Drive Transformers
Gate drive transformers are used to modify the voltage level to a gate. They also provide impedance matching and voltage isolation.
RF Transformers
RF transformers transfer energy from one circuit to another by electromagnetic induction. Typically, they are used to increase or decrease voltage as it passes from one side through the other.
Switch Mode Transformers
Switch mode transformers (switching transformers) are used mainly in switching power supplies and DC-DC converters. They provide a storage element for transferring energy from input to output in discrete packets as required in switching power supplies, regulators and converters.
Telecom Transformers
Telecom transformers are used in applications which require high bandwidths and fast switching speeds. They isolate the signal between primary and secondary grounds. This product area includes DSL, xDSL, T1, E1, ISDN, LAN, WAN, Ethernet, ATM and modem transformers.

George lived on the farm until he was fourteen, then went to Fort Plain and for the next seven years was employed as a clerk. He went to Lockport, where he remained for a time, then came to Albion and started a crockery store. This he afterwards sold and bought out the furniture business formery carried on by George M. Pullman. Mr. Ough was in business in Albion from 1850 until 1892. In local affairs he has ever been an active Democrat, and for several years held the office of town auditor, also member of the Board of Education. In 1850 Mr. Ough married Anna Weeks, by whom he had two children: Anna, wife of C. M. C. Reynolds, and Louie M., wife of Franklin Clark. Mrs. Ough died March 29, 1862.

Carl Schmitt, Israel Shamir and Robert Sungenis A response to Robert Sungenis' "Christopher Blosser and the Catholic ADL: A Review of Mr. Blosser's Website"
Last week I had posted a brief notation on Sungenis quoting Shamir quoting Schmitt, responding to one of Catholic Apologetics International's "news alerts" promoting Israel Shamir's essay "The Tyranny of Liberalism" to CAI readers. (Note: Sungenis has since removed it from his "news alerts" page in light of this recent controversy). It's not the first time Israel Shamir has been promoted by an extremist self-styled "traditionalist" Catholic. Back in July we had noted E. Michael Jones' "Culture Wars' Troubling Praise of Israel Shamir" (Fringewatch July 3, 2006) and Shamir's own controversial reputation among the left. Apparently once a darling of the Palestinian cause, his anti-semitism proved so toxic that he was deemed a public relations disaster and eventually disowned by his comrades (See Nigel Parry's The Israel Shamir Case and Roland Rance's Israel Shamir: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing?, from the Socialist Viewpoint). One might get a sense of Shamir's worldview by his conclusion from his recent essay that: Armed with Schmitt's thesis and Bauer's testimony, we may conclude: "the 'liberal democracy and human rights' doctrine carried by the US marines across the Tigris and the Oxus is a form of secularised Judaism. Considering the predominance of Jews in mass media and especially among the media lords, it is only natural that the ideology they promote is so close to Jewish heart.Shamir's writings are similar to that of other anti-semites: society's ills perceived through the lens of a global Zionist conspiracy, "Talmudic" (or in some cases, secular) Judaism set against Christian civilization. In this particular article Shamir makes use of Carl Schmitt, a Nazi legal scholar whose writings laid the ideological groundwork for the Third Reich. As I noted in my original post, while I am not necessarily opposed to an academic study of Carl Schmitt, in light of Shamir's own reputation and polemical worldview it certainly made for a curious picture to find Sungenis quoting Shamir quoting Schmitt -- so soon after last year's controversy when Sungenis was once again outed for his reliance upon questionable ideological sources (See Michael Forrest' Sungenis and the Jews). Sungenis has posted a response to CAI entitled "Christopher Blosser and the Catholic ADL: A Review of Mr. Blosser's Website" [.pdf format]. (In the event Sungenis decides to remove this piece following this critique, you may read it in its entirety here). I am sorry to disappoint Sungenis, but his response to me reveals his knack for using dubious sources and a consistent failure to check his facts. [Read The Rest . . . ].
My Refusal to "Debate" Sungenis:
Sungenis begins with the charge: We would be happy to accommodate you. Sungenis is more than willing to debate and more then willing to remove anything that is questionable. As he is very busy, often times sources fall through the cracks. Consequently, I question Sungenis' skewed presentation of my response to Campbell. A disappointing, but from what I have seen, not entirely unexpected move on Sungenis' part.
Sungenis' Defense of Schmitt Getting to the heart of his attack, Sungenis defends Carl Schmitt: Half a year later, in June 1934, Schmitt became editor in chief for the professional newspaper "Deutsche Juristen-Zeitung" ("German jurisprudents' newspaper"); in July 1934, he justified the political murders of the Night of the Long Knives as the "highest form of administrative justice" ("höchste Form administrativer Justiz"). Schmitt presented himself as a radical anti-semite and also was the chairman of a law teachers' convention in Berlin in October 1936, where he demanded that German law be cleansed from the "Jewish spirit" ("jüdischem Geist"); nevertheless, two months later, in December, the SS publication "Das schwarze Korps" accused Schmitt of being an opportunist and called his anti-semitism a mere mock-up, citing earlier statements in which he criticised the Nazi's racial theories. After this, Schmitt soon lost all of his prominent offices, and retreated from his position as a leading Nazi jurist, although he remained as a professor in Berlin. Schmitt and Heideggar
As a study in intellectual capitulation to National Socialism, Carl Schmitt might be compared to his contemporary, the German philosopher Martin Heideggar -- both were initially enthusiastic about the advent of the Third Reich. Both joined the Party in 1933 of their own volition, and came to be appointed to signifiant academic positions within the Reich. Neither of whom were motivated by a racial hatred of the Jews, and yet their influence
Heideggar is a fascinating case, in that he perceived National Socialism as the realization of his own philosophical "revolution of Authenticity" -- when the Reich failed to live up to his metaphysical expectations, he bailed; the Nazis in return questioned his loyalty to the cause. I very much recommend Rudiger Safranski's Martin Heidegger: Between Good and Evil (Harvard UP, 1998) as an accessible study of this tragic yet captivating figure. As Safranski notes: On the other hand, Carl Schmitt's infatuation with National Socialism appears to be motivated by something more than a philosophical interest. The blogger Waggish in his discussion of Carl Schmitt (12 June 2006) mentions some troubling biographical notes from Schmitt's academic career under National Socialism:
This particular subject is explored at length in Raphael Gross' Carl Schmitt and the Jews, recently translated into English and due out in June 2007 by the University of Wisconsin Press.
Gross questions the "antisemitism of opportunity" thesis -- that Schmitt's anti-semitism was a temporary affectation to gain favor with the Nazis: Q: What is "anti-Semitism"?
A common strategy of those who intellectually flirt with (or worse, embrace) the ideological right is to confine the definition of antisemitism to a purely racial hatred of the Jewish people, so as to excuse or explain away any other form of animosity toward the Jewish people. It is not suprising, then, that Sungenis has posted to his website -- perhaps as a defense -- Fr. Denis Fahey's oft-cited explanation of anti-semitism, which proceeds along these lines: The result is that numbers of Catholics are so ignorant of Catholic doctrine that they hurl the accusation of Anti-Semitism against those who are battling for the rights of Christ the King thus effectively aiding the enemies of Our Divine Lord. Secondly, many Catholic writers copy unquestioningly what they read in the naturalistic or anti-supernatural Press and do not distinguish between Anti-Semitism in the correct Catholic sense, as explained above, and "Anti-Semitism," as the Jews understand it. For the Jews, "Anti-Semitism" is anything that is in opposition to the naturalistic Messianic domination of their nation over all the others. Quite logically, the leaders of the Jewish nation hold that to stand for the Rights of Christ the King is to be "Anti-Semitic." Unfortunately, Fahey's restricted definition of anti-semitism didn't prohibit him from indulging in fantasies of Judeo-Masonic conspiracies so off the wall that Hillaire Belloc was moved to say "The thing is nonsense on the face of it."
This is a bit of a tangent, but a fair, yet critical treatment of Fr. Fahey is Sr. Mary Christine Athans' The Coughlin-Fahey Connection: Father Charles E. Coughlin, Father Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp., and Religious Anti-Semitism in the United States, 1938-1954 (New York: Peter Lang Publishing, Inc., 1991), an appraisal of Fahey's life and thought along with a look at his considerable influence over the "radio priest" Fr. Charles Coughlin. (Given that it's out of print and rather pricey, I may write a lengthier review of Athan's book if readers are interested).
According to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, "anti-semitism" was coined in 1879 by Wilhelm Marr to designate anti-Jewish campaigns in central Europe at that time. Although it is a misnomer (implying discrimination against all semites), it is commonly understood to mean "hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group" (Merriam-Webster).
In 1964 Fr. Edward Flannery published The Anguish of the Jews: Twenty Three Centuries of Anti-Semitism, according to whom: The Anguish of the Jews, revised and updated in 1984, is considered to be a classic history of the subject. I agree, as Flannery does, that one must make distictions: neither disagreement with Zionism nor theological differences alone constitutes anti-semitism. But when manifested in such cases as Fr. Fahey's wholesale denunciation of "Jewish naturalism", or Carl Schmitt's call for a purge of "the Jewish spirit" from libraries, or Fr. Coughlin's serializing of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in his weekly Catholic paper, the line is blurred, and the consequences of such actions are all too similar to those brought about by a purely secular, racial hatred.
Upon reading Flannery's history one can only conclude that Fahey's equasion of anti-semitism with racial hatred, while etymologically correct, is gravely insufficient.
Global Anti-Semitism Review Act: "Marriage of State and Synagogue"?
The rest of Sungenis' response is rather trivial and covers old ground -- jabs at Jacob Michael (Sungenis and the Jews: Comments on a Controversy), Michael Forrest, and David Palm, erstwhile colleagues of Sungenis who have since distanced themselves in light of Sungenis' increasing radicalism. All of whom have already written replies to Bob's most recent accusations, and whose responses can be found here); likewise jabs at Jewish converts Roy Schoeman and David Moss and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops ("lackeys for Zionism and Judaism"); the ecumenical journal First Things -- all of whom together with yours truly constitute a "Catholic Anti-Defamation League" utterly beholden to "Neocon/Zionist political and religious ideology."
On the other hand, Sungenis appears to be quite perturbed over the passing of the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004 and the appointment of Gregg Rickman in May 2006 to the post of Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism.
According to the State Department: Concern over the rising tide of anti-semitism in the world today? -- Surely a good thing. At the same time, the Pittsburgh Jurist reports that unnamed sources in the State Department did express criticism that this move constitues a "bureaucratic nuisance", creating yet more paperwork -- which I think is a valid concern. For Sungenis, however, the advent of the Act implies something more . . . devious: Number 7 says: So, it looks like every good Catholic who is faithful to his religion is now classed as an anti-smite by the U.S. government. If you criticize the blatantly anti-Christian literature known as the Talmud, you are "anti-semitic." If you even say an unkind word about the preposterous mystical musings of Jewish sages who wrote the Kabbalah, you are an "anti-semite." However, what it does not contain is "12 descriptions of anti-semitism" as Sungenis describes. I've searched in vain for the specific quotations and am unable to turn up an itemized list of any sort, much less specific charges that "Criticism of the Jewish religion or its religious leaders or literature (especially the Talmud and Kabbalah)" or "blaming Jewish leaders for inciting the Roman crucifixion of Christ", in any context constitute anti-semitism. However, if we do a quick google-search we discover . . .
Sadly, again, a use of dubious sources and failure to do some simple fact-checking -- and Sungenis doesn't even have the integrity of crediting the source of this claim.
And who was behind this blatant censorship of our freedom of speech? That's
right, the ADL and the Jewish lobby in Congress. And do you know what is going to
happen if these Jewish lobbyists get Congress to enforce this and other "Hate Crime" bills? Anyone who transgresses item Nos. 4 and 7 can be arrested and thrown in jail, including Mr. Forrest, Mr. Michael, Mr. Suprenant and Mr. Blosser, not to mention being thrown in jail for transgressing items 1 through 12, which, to varying degrees, are as ludicrous as Nos. 4 and 7. So, if you are wondering why I'm on this warpath, this is it; not to mention that the quagmire we now know as the "War in Iraq" (which has put the whole world on nuclear alert) was instigated mainly by the Jewish advisors in Bush's
administration. You can imagine the same indictment coming from our own Holy Father, as when he met with met with the Anti-Defamation League in October 2006.
In his response to me, Sungenis remarks that he has made My own hunch is that Sungenis simply read Ted Pike's own "news alert" and -- in typical fashion -- conveyed it verbatim.
Lastly, a clarification about my "other websites" Sungenis accuses me of "running" a number of blogs and websites. Again, as Sungenis didn't check his facts, some clarification is in order:
To frustrate Sungenis' one-sided stereotype of "Neocon-Zionists", I might add that, from our correspondence with each other, Don is actually far more sympathetic to paleocons than the neocons, and in fact disagrees with me on the Iraq war ("before the Iraq war even began", he recently reminded me). However, we are mutually agreed on Israel's right to defend its existence as a nation against those who wish to obliterate it and the Jewish people. But again -- I am merely a participant of this website.
My blog is admittedly a little more biased -- for example, in "Pope Benedict, Modern Weaponry and Civilian Casualties", I disagree on Pope Benedict's prudential observation that "given the new weapons that make possible destructions that go beyond the combatant groups, today we should be asking ourselves if it is still licit to admit the very existence of a 'just war.'" The last time I checked, however, the application of just war criteria was an area which Pope Benedict himself himself recognized "a legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics."
Against The Grain remains a vehicle for personal expression, whereas The Benedict Blog is exclusively devoted to monthly news "roundups" about our Holy Father.
In closing
As stated in my original post, I am certainly not opposed to a study of Carl Schmitt. One might benefit from a study of his work and a number of scholars have done so. However, any scholar bearing a personal animus toward Jews (fairly explicit -- in the case of Shamir, and certainly of concern in Schmitt as well) should be treated with caution and a degree of "academic objectivity."
I also think it is entirely possible to offer criticism of the Bush administration's proposal to roll back the tide of terrorism by transplanting liberal democracy on foreign soil -- and I think you'll find some conservatives who have done so without allusions to the expansion of "US / Israeli hegemony" and global Zionist conspiracies. Fr. Richard Neuhaus, for instance, offered a cogent discussion of this topic in his "Public Square" column ("Internationalisms" (First Things 148 (December 2004): 64-84).
My own personal opinion is that in light of Sungenis' past reference and persistent use of dubious sources (as documented by Bill Cork in 2002, and Michael Forrest in 2006), he does not at this time possess the ability to maintain a critical distance. This is evident in the general quality of websites that he uses has his sources (The Reverend Ted Pike, Israel Shamir, Michael Hoffman II, the National Vanguard, among others).
Sungenis quoting Shamir quoting Schmitt does not imply that Sungenis "is a Nazi." Nonetheless, I maintain that promoting an essay by Israel Shamir as a "news alert" to readers (not all of whom are, I would imagine, as intellectually discerning as Sungenis) seems to me a cause for concern, especially for a Catholic organization which had formerly indicated to its readers in September 2006: Labels: extremism |
Against The Grain is the personal blog of Christopher Blosser - web designer
and all around maintenance guy for the original Cardinal Ratzinger Fan Club (Now Pope Benedict XVI).

(Feb 02, 2011) Law 2010-1657 of December 29, 2010, on Finances for 2011 contains measures aimed at reducing France's public deficit from a level of 7.7% of the gross domestic product to 6%. The ultimate goal is to reduce the deficit to 3% by 2013. The government hopes to achieve its goal through drastic cuts in public spending, increases in tax rates and social contributions, the introduction of new taxes, and a reduction in tax credits. (Loi 2010-1657 du 29 décembre 2010 de finances pour 2011, LEGIFRANCE.GOUV.FR, http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr (last visited Jan. 28, 2011) [File: Les textes législatifs et réglementaires]).) Below is a summary of the key provisions of the Law.
Tax rates
The highest rate of income tax that applies to income exceeding €70,830 (about US$96,422) is increased from 40% to 41%. The other rates remain unchanged, but all the income brackets have been adjusted by 1.5 % to take inflation into account. The beneficial tax treatment received by couples for the year in which they get married is abolished. The reduced rate of 5.5% that applied to "triple play" services (i.e., television, telephone, and Internet) is replaced by the VAT standard rate of 19.6%. The Law also increases by 1% the tax rate levied on dividends, interest, and capital gains (from 18% to 19%).
Social contributions
The tax rate on the employee's monthly social contribution to the "retraite chapeau," a pension received by top executives of banks and corporations in addition to the basic state and complementary pensions typically received by salaried workers, will be raised to 7% for the portion between €400 and €600 (about US$545-$817). For the portion in excess of €600, the contribution rate will be 14%. A single rate of 14% will apply to future pensions.
The employer social contribution levied on gains deriving from the exercise of employee stock options is raised from 10% to 14%, while the employee contribution is increased from 2.5% to 8%.
New taxes
The Law creates a tax of 1%, referred to as the "Google tax," on the purchase price of online advertising services. It will take effect on July 1, 2011. A tax of 0.25% will be charged on high-risk activities carried out by banks and financial institutions. Finally, investment service providers will have to pay two types of contributions to finance the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (Financial Market Authority), France's independent authority tasked with investors' protection.
Tax credits
Several tax credits will be reduced by10%. They include, among others, the income tax credits granted for investments in the French overseas départements and territorial collectivities, for investments in new residential premises intended for lease, and for investment in research venture capital funds and in proximity venture capital funds.
The Law also reduces from 75% to 50% the wealth tax credit granted for investments in small and medium-sized enterprises in France. It also subjects these tax credits to new conditions concerning the nature of the investment activity, the size of the assets, and the number of employees. The existing research and development tax credit is maintained, but the tax credit rate is reduced for companies investing in research for the first time, from 50% to 40% for the first year and from 40% to 35% for the second year.
Several tax credits are abolished, including the income tax credit of €115 (about US$157) for a single person (€230 for a couple) on dividends and the credit for loan interest paid for the taxpayer's main residence.
Compensation exceeding €1 million (about US$1.36 million) granted by the courts for moral damages will be taxable as salary income. The Law also abolishes the deferral of social taxes on proceeds paid under certain insurance life contracts (contrats d'assurance vie multisupport). Finally, the €25,830 (about US$35,240) threshold below which capital gains derived from the disposal of shares and securities are exempted from income tax has been abolished.

I'm fed up with the very high frequency of the Lothian Buses 22 and 26 in Edinburgh, especially when there are so many other routes that are so low frequency, such as the 15(A), 18, 32, etc.
Maybe if everyone were to stop using the 22 and 26 whenever possible and use alternatives instead, maybe the Lothian Buses management will take notice and redistribute their services.

Len If I stoped using the 22 how would I get to work?

brad I am so disgusted in this mornings conductor's behaviour towards me. Bus no 26. I was literally four feet away when he shut his doors. The bus was not yet full and although i signalled for him to wait a second longer, he ignored me! It was so pathetic on his behalf.

Watkins 23 refit
I just bought a 1978 Watkins 23 XL and Im in the process of restoring her. I'm very impressd with the ruggedness of her design and how well she's stood not being particularly well cared for. The only modification I can think of right now is I plan to install a traveler on the bridge deck. The main sheet leads to two blocks on the transom.
I live in Orange Park, Fl. and I'll be doing this on my time off duty (I'm a Merchant Mariner) and on a budget, I hope to launch the last week of May! Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can give me.

I find a lot of bicycles abandoned next to the garbage bins. I've got a bunch of free used parts on my own mountain bike, like the fancy seat and the baskets, but I imagine some of the nicer bikes to be perhaps stolen, so I usually take them to the police station. After a year or so, if nobody claims the bicycles, then the city sends me a letter telling me the bicycle is now legally mine if I want it. So far I haven't re-claimed any, but I don't really need another bicycle.
It surprises me how many chairs people leave in the garbage zones. Lots of perfectly good chairs and a whole bunch of chairs that need just minor repairs. Many of the chairs are interesting styles, and some of them are reasonably spectacular.
Italians aren't in general interested in recently used stuff. Bella Figura, or making a good impression, is awfully important here, even for the lower strata. Having your own new stuff is much preferred. There are some rare thrift-stores in Italy, but I'll bet there aren't more than ten in all of northern Italy.
My wife would seem like a perfect used-clothes wearer, but no, she's not interested in having anything used except antique furniture and old family jewellery. The "we could re-upholster that and use it in our own home" argument has never cut any ice with her.
My favorite things to find in the trash are the fiasci, or raffia-wrapped bottles. I have a fair collection, with everything from the big 15-gallon jugs to funky straw-wrapped bottles obviously home-made by some poor farmer.
I also collect odd bottles, like the Corsica-shaped bottle in the photograph. I've got a whole lot of this charming dust-covered stuff stashed around in the nooks of my office and I think that it would be perfect for decorating an Italian restaurant in the states.
If you ever see a shipping container of old Italian bottles being sold on eBay, it'll probably be me.

You know, a competition swim meet is much like The Lion King "The circle of life." I have been to hundreds of competition swim meets over the years from the Olympic Trials to NCAA, High School, USA, YMCA and summer league competition swim championships and have always felt comfortable and within my realm.
This past weekend, I was at a competition swim meet and for the first time in my life I found myself asking questions and in a capacity I was not familiar with. Me of all people UN easy, looking a little lost, having to buy a psych sheet, where the heck was I! Well, after a quick reality check, and a reflection in the mirror, the realization was I was a parent.
A parent of two young kids swimming in their first year around USA swim meet. They were having fun playing with teammates, video games, acting silly, but dad a nervous wreck. There were 900 swimmers of all ages; hundreds of spectators so shouldn't a 5 and 7 year old feel scared and timid.
After realizing my children didn't really care if they missed their event and their only concern was "is my battery charged on my Nintendo DS", I soon had my confidence back.
Looking around and seeing numerous people that I swam with growing up made me think "there has to be something in the water". What attracts us to this sport? You put on a little biddy brief of a swim suit, you get wet, your swimming in the cold water while following a black line at the bottom of the pool……….really it doesn't make sense?
So to watch the youngest swimmer in the swim meet have no fear, to the oldest swimmer in the pool thrive to be a collegiate scholarship swimmer is a reflection of my past. As a former age grouper, High School, College swimmer, then a coach, now a parent, I have come full circle.

dc.description.abstract | The production of two heterozygous and one homozygous clones of the Israeli Dor-70 line of com- mon carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) was tested using DNA fingerprinting (DFP) and mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) analysis. The clones were obtained in large-scale production from mitotic gyno- genetic females and males (sex-inversed). MLR analysis was used to examine major histocom- patibility complex (MHC) antigens in individuals. DFP provided evidence concerning identity in the whole genome. Both methods showed that individuals within a progeny were identical, confirming genetic uniformity within each clone and showing that no paternal DNA was transmitted during mitotic and meiotic gynogenesis. The results indicated that uniformity of DFP in progeny of the homozygous clone is obtained only when the mother is fully homozygous, and in the heterozygous clone only if both parents are fully homozygous. The results of both methods provide evidence, though indirect, that the mitotic gynogenetic parents of these fish (mother of the homozygous clone, mother and father of the heterozygous clones) were fully homozygous. | en_US |

WASHINGTON — Roger Clemens lost something off his fastball in his 40s but still succeeded by pitching smarter, his former manager testified today.
"He continued to have great success, but for different reasons," said defense witness Phil Garner, who managed Clemens with the Houston Astros from 2004-2006. "He didn't just overpower teams; he outsmarted teams ... He wasn't as domineering as he was earlier."
Clemens is on trial for allegedly lying to Congress in 2008 when he denied using steroids or human growth hormone. Defense lawyers are trying to demonstrate that Clemens used smarts and hard work — not performance-enhancing drugs — to post exceptional numbers at an age when most players are retired.
In Clemens' first year with Houston, in 2004, he won his seventh Cy Young Award and posted an excellent 2.98 earned run average, nearly a full run better than the previous season, though most pitchers making that switch from the American to National league improve their ERAs by some fraction of a run. In his second year with Houston, when Clemens turned 43, his ERA dropped even further, to an extraordinarily good 1.87.
Garner said that one way Clemens got smarter was by pitching around really good hitters, then going after weaker ones. Garner said the pitcher's speed dropped from 95-97 mph in his early 30s to 90-92 mph.
"There's no question he had aged," said Garner, who sometimes referred to the pitcher by his nickname, Rocket.
Supporting the defense contention that Clemens succeeded through hard work, Garner recalled seeing the pitcher at the ballpark in spring training at 7:30 a.m. Clemens worked out in a flak jacket with 60 pounds of weights, then went for a run, Garner said.
A couple of times, Garner shouted as he imitated Clemens' competitive outbursts.
"What is going on?!" Garner recalled Clemens yelling at himself as he paced back and forth at the end of the dugout. "Are you going to pitch tonight or are you not going to pitch tonight?! Are you going to get anybody out tonight?!"
On Wednesday, two catchers who were teammates of Clemens said he played with integrity and refused to cut corners, the opposite of the image painted by prosecutors of a man who cheated to gain an edge and then lied about it to Congress.
"I don't think he'd cheat," said former journeyman catcher Charlie O'Brien, who caught Clemens' games for much of the 1997 season with the Toronto Blue Jays. O'Brien portrayed Clemens as such a stickler that he'd refuse to throw scuffed baseballs because he considered it cheating.
The other backstop was Darrin Fletcher, Clemens' catcher with the Jays in 1998. When Hardin said good afternoon, Fletcher replied, "How we doing?" and frequently called the lawyer by his first name.
He said Clemens was a "big strong man" who set the standard for work ethic.
"Did Roger Clemens ever cut corners?" Hardin asked.
"Cut corners?" he replied with a taken-aback look and a smile. "No."
He gave up some of Clemens' trade secrets as a pitcher. Clemens, for example, would purse his lips on the mound to ask for curveballs.
"You're not making a comeback any time are you, Roger?" Fletcher said. "I'm not giving anything away, am I?" Clemens laughed.
Fletcher said it was important to make sure that batters didn't steal signs, because "the whole integrity of the game is ruined if the hitter knows what's coming."
He also testified that he didn't see Clemens at a pool party at teammate Jose Canseco's house in Florida in June of that season, but Fletcher also said he left the party around 1:30 p.m. A government witness recalled seeing Clemens at the party later in the day. One of the charges against Clemens is that he lied when he told Congress that he wasn't at the party at all.
Clemens joined the Blue Jays at the age of 34 as a free agent after the Boston Red Sox did not re-sign him following the 1996 season. Boston's then-general manager, Dan Duquette, said at the time that Clemens was in the twilight of his career, but Clemens won the Cy Young Award the two next seasons for the Blue Jays.
In that second season in Toronto, Clemens met strength coach Brian McNamee, who says he injected the pitcher with steroids and HGH and testified that he had the impression the Clemens had used steroids previously. The government used its cross-examination of witnesses Wednesday to reinforce its claim that Clemens turned to performance-enhancing drugs to help his aging body recover more quickly during the physically demanding major league seasons.
The defense says it will call McNamee's estranged wife, Eileen, to testify, but her lawyer said today that he wanted to make sure that her previously granted immunity remains intact. That's because McNamee, during his testimony, may have implicated her in a number of areas, such as possible mail fraud. The government had at one point planned to call her as a witness, but decided not to for tactical reasons.

The United States Coast Guard uses buoy tenders to accomplish one of its primary missions of maintaining all U. S. Aids to Navigation (ATON).
The Canadian Coast Guard uses multi-use vessels (icebreaker and navigation aid) with the buoy tender platform.

Brief Summary Detailed Description Background: A multitude of risk factors for falling has been reported for the elderly, however many of these risk factors are not applicable to persons with a spinal cord injury, who use a wheelchair for mobility. The objectives of this study are to: (1) describe the incidence and prevalence of tips, falls, and fall-related injuries in SCI; (2) describe the epidemiology of the fall event (person, time, place, and activity); (3) describe any injuries associated with a fall, including the mechanism and nature of the injury, severity of injury, as well as treatment required; (4) determine the risk factors related to falls and fall-related injuries in SCI, and develop a model for predicting falls and fall-related injuries in SCI; (5) determine healthcare utilization as well as direct and indirect costs associated with fall-related injuries in SCI; and (6) describe patient-perceived short- and long-term consequences of falls in SCI. The data collection for this study was completed on March 31, 2007, and data analysis is in final phase.
Objectives: The objectives of the study are to describe: (1) the incidence and prevalence of wheelchair tips, falls, and fall-related injuries; (2) epidemiology of event; (3) injuries associated with event, including mechanism, nature, severity of injury and treatment required; (4) determine risk factors and develop a model for predicting tips and falls; (5) determine healthcare utilization and direct and indirect costs; and (6) describe perceived short- and long-term consequences of falls in SCI.
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study. Data was collected through patient surveys, medical records, and VA databases. Baseline information includes risk factors (e.g., user characteristics, wheelchair features, wheelchair activities, etc.) and physical environmental data. Monthly follow-up calls tracked tips, falls, and injuries.
Status: Recruitment ended on April 1, 2006 with a total of 702 subjects, and data collection was completed on March 31, 2007. The Data Safety Monitoring Board for this study conducted its final meeting on September 17, 2007. Data has been analyzed and 17 manuscripts are currently in development.
Impact: While much is known about falls in elderly, there is a lack of understanding of the epidemiology of wheelchair-related falls. Our project is expected to identify previously unaccounted for factors that predispose persons with SCI to falls and fall-related injuries. This study will result in the creation of a model for predicting falls and fall-related injuries in SCI. The predictive model will be used to develop intervention strategies targeting modifiable risk factors. Eventually, we will test this predictive model with other vulnerable veteran populations. Findings from this study wil be used to develop an instrument to identify fall risk in persons with SCI.

Groups/Cohorts |
Group 1
cohort is of individuals with a spinal cord injury who use a wheelchair as their primary means of mobility
Detailed Description:
Of the 702 patients enrolled, 659 subjects provided data for follow up analysis. The primarily male (96%) population was 55 + 13 years old, and had their SCI for an average of 21 + 13 years. 47% of the injury levels were cervical and 46% thoracic. The majority of subjects used manual wheelchairs (62%) an average of 10.9 + 4.3 hours a day. 553 fall events were reported by 204 individuals. 95 (14%) subjects were injured as a result of the fall. Regression models showed that fall occurrence was predicted by increased pain in past two months, increased alcohol use, higher FIM sub-motor scores, having a previous fall, shorter wheelchair length, fewer years of SCI, and not having one's first wheelchair. Injurious falls were predicted by increased pain in past two months, higher FIM sub-motor scores, having a previous fall, non-flat home entrance and a diagnosis of arthritis. In both models, 83% of the variance was explained by the predictors. Additional analysis is planned for completion of manuscripts. In addition, funding was received to develop a risk assessment tool for falls from wheelchairs in SCI.
Final analyses are being conducted and 17 manuscripts are currently in development.

A chief risk officer usually oversees a region for a company to identify all sorts of risks the company might face or is currently being subjected to. The chief risk officer wants to make sure that company profits are a priority while policies and regulations are being adhered to. Some areas that the chief risk officer will oversee are risks relating to investment, credit, operations, and things that may be happening on the market. The chief risk officer must also be familiar with company policies and the law. The officer should make sure that various departments are complying with these regulations.
Read More...Chief Risk Officers who responded to the survey indicated only a few skills that they use on the job. Risk Management / Risk Control and Regulatory Compliance are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Regulatory Compliance. Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management / Risk Control are also commonly seen together.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience is an important factor influencing the compensation of Chief Risk Officers. New workers enjoy hefty six-figure paychecks when they take on this position — $120K per year is the median for people who claim less than five years' experience. Chief Risk Officers claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $192K. People who have worked for more than 20 years report a median income of $208K, which is barely higher than the median for folks with 10 to 20 years of experience.

Kenton Holden Is Joslin's Youth Ambassador
Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Kenton Holden, 14, of Weston, Massachusetts will serve as Joslin Diabetes Center's first Youth Ambassador, starting in January 2010.
She will work with the Joslin Development and Communications offices to promote Joslin's work with children and young adults with diabetes, including both clinical care services and Joslin's extensive pediatric diabetes research.
Kenton, who is a Freshman at Weston High School, describes herself as "athletic and outgoing." She plays field hockey, tennis and lacrosse and is a lifeguard in training in the summer.
In addition to her academic schedule, which includes geometry, physics, world history and English, Kenton finds time for extracurricular activities such as art and video production — and for hanging out with her friends.
Being the first Joslin Youth Ambassador is "pretty cool," according to Kenton. Both her brother and step-father have Type 1 diabetes, so Kenton is looking forward to working to help Joslin pursue a cure for the disease.

German Study Links Dogs and Female Appeal
Thanks to DW-World.de for this article.
Strange Study Links Dogs, Feminine Appeal
Man's best friend -- so the saying goes, but now a German study tells women that dogs make them more attractive to both sexes. The research was publicized by, um, a pet suppliers' organization.
What would the world be without studies?Somewhere out there in this vast universe of ours, someone is probably hard at work trying to establish a link between the sub-quantum behavior of quarks and Britney Spears' mental ups-and-downs. Researchers in Bonn and Freiburg, meanwhile, are trying to connect female attractiveness and dogs.
An initially counter-intuitive proposition, one might jest, but wait. 420 representative men and women -- representative of what, one asks, other than people with too much time on their hands? -- were shown pictures of women with and without dogs and asked which group they found more attractive.
And do you know what? The women with dogs had more appeal.
"The overwhelming majority of the respondents attributed more self-discipline and patience, as well as greater family sensibility and optimism toward life, to the women with dogs," said Professor Reinhold Bergler from the Institute of Psychology at the University of Bonn.
Fascinating, one might say in one's best Leonard Nimoy voice -- until one notices that the organization responsible for bringing this discovery to the media's attention was the Industrial Association of Pet Suppliers.
Said organization also promotes research showing that men with cats are considered more sensitive, and relationships in which the partners don't like each others' pets tend not to last.
What's next? "Reptiles ensure better grades at school" or "Arachnoids are just the thing to spice up your sex life?"

DOWNLOAD: Light Pollution - Good Feelings (MP3)
Light Pollution...
As mentioned previously, Montreal dance-pop band Think About Life play Mercury Lounge tonight, two days after playing an early set at the WBAR-B-Q on Sunday. Tickets are still on sale for that. It's a late show. The early show at the same venue features Casiotone For The Painfully Alone.
Opening the late show are Chicago's Light Pollution, who play a kind of synthy post-rock and whose debut LP, Apparitions, comes out June 8th on Carpark Records. That album's first single, "Good Feelings," a mid-tempo jam with appegiated synths under cymbal crashes and mountain-top vocals, is above. Its video is below.
Light Pollution have a few more shows this week too. They play Glasslands on Friday with electronica-pop bands of varying degrees: Keepaway, Memoryhouse, Tanlines and Psychobuildings. Saturday Light Pollution was scheduled to play at the still-closed Market Hotel - according to the band's Myspace, that show has been moved to Under 100, the sometimes-open venue that hosted Erykah Badu about a month ago.
Tanlines recently received a video for their song "Reinfo" from a fan, in the form of a video love letter/tour of the East Village. The band writes: "This guy who does a blog called Pitchfork Reviews Reviews randomly emailed us this video that he made for a girl named Anna. We like it, so now it's our official video!"

A Lament Over Pharaoh
1 In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month on the first day, the word of the Lord came to me:
"Son of man, take up a lament concerning Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: "'You are like a lion among the nations;
you are like a monster in the seas
thrashing about in your streams,
churning the water with your feet
and muddying the streams.
"'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "'With a great throng of people
I will cast my net over you,
and they will haul you up in my net.
I will throw you on the land
and hurl you on the open field.
I will let all the birds of the sky settle on you
and all the animals of the wild gorge themselves on you.
I will spread your flesh on the mountains
and fill the valleys with your remains.
I will drench the land with your flowing blood
all the way to the mountains,
and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens
and darken their stars;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
and the moon will not give its light.
All the shining lights in the heavens
I will darken over you;
I will bring darkness over your land,
declares the Sovereign Lord.
I will trouble the hearts of many peoples
when I bring about your destruction among the nations,
among[a] lands you have not known.
I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you,
and their kings will shudder with horror because of you
when I brandish my sword before them.
On the day of your downfall
each of them will tremble
every moment for his life.
"'For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "'The sword of the king of Babylon
will come against you.
I will cause your hordes to fall
by the swords of mighty men—
the most ruthless of all nations.
They will shatter the pride of Egypt,
and all her hordes will be overthrown.
I will destroy all her cattle
from beside abundant waters
no longer to be stirred by the foot of man
or muddied by the hooves of cattle.
Then I will let her waters settle
and make her streams flow like oil,
declares the Sovereign Lord.
When I make Egypt desolate
and strip the land of everything in it,
when I strike down all who live there,
then they will know that I am the Lord.'
16 "This is the lament they will chant for her. The daughters of the nations will chant it; for Egypt and all her hordes they will chant it, declares the Sovereign Lord."
Egypt's Descent Into the Realm of the Dead
17 In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
18 "Son of man, wail for the hordes of Egypt and consign to the earth below both her and the daughters of mighty nations, along with those who go down to the pit.
19 Say to them, 'Are you more favored than others? Go down and be laid among the uncircumcised.'
20 They will fall among those killed by the sword. The sword is drawn; let her be dragged off with all her hordes.
21 From within the realm of the dead the mighty leaders will say of Egypt and her allies, 'They have come down and they lie with the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword.'
22 "Assyria is there with her whole army; she is surrounded by the graves of all her slain, all who have fallen by the sword.
23 Their graves are in the depths of the pit and her army lies around her grave. All who had spread terror in the land of the living are slain, fallen by the sword.
24 "Elam is there, with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword. All who had spread terror in the land of the living went down uncircumcised to the earth below. They bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
25 A bed is made for her among the slain, with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword. Because their terror had spread in the land of the living, they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit; they are laid among the slain.
26 "Meshek and Tubal are there, with all their hordes around their graves. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
27 But they do not lie with the fallen warriors of old,[b] who went down to the realm of the dead with their weapons of war—their swords placed under their heads and their shields[c] resting on their bones—though these warriors also had terrorized the land of the living.
28 "You too, Pharaoh, will be broken and will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword.
29 "Edom is there, her kings and all her princes; despite their power, they are laid with those killed by the sword. They lie with the uncircumcised, with those who go down to the pit.
30 "All the princes of the north and all the Sidonians are there; they went down with the slain in disgrace despite the terror caused by their power. They lie uncircumcised with those killed by the sword and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
31 "Pharaoh—he and all his army—will see them and he will be consoled for all his hordes that were killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign Lord.
32 Although I had him spread terror in the land of the living, Pharaoh and all his hordes will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign Lord."

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps drivers to avoid crashes by reducing the danger of skidding, or losing control as a result of over-steering. ESC becomes active when a driver loses control of their car. It uses computer controlled technology to apply individual brakes and help bring the car safely back on track, without the danger of fish-tailing.
Australian research shows that ESC reduces the risk of:
No other active safety device has such potential to reduce single car crashes.
ESC works by using a number of intelligent sensors that detect any loss of control and automatically apply the brake to the relevant wheel, putting your car back on the intended path.
ESC is of assistance to the driver in:
Not all ESC systems are identical. The hardware is similar, but there are variations in how ESC systems are programmed to respond once loss of control is detected.
Naturally, the degree of effectiveness of ESC is dependent upon the amount of traction between the road and the car. Therefore on a car with old, worn or inappropriate tyres (eg: non winter tyres on ice and snow), ESC will be less effective than on a car with new tyres or tyres specific to a road environmental condition.
ESC technology is being adopted rapidly by Australian manufacturers and importers – particularly as Victoria has mandated that all new cars registered from January 2011 must be fitted with ESC. This mandate came into effect almost one year ahead of the rest of Australia and also Europe and America. Fitment of ESC has grown enormously since 2004, with the fitment rate increasing from around 12% in 2004 to 76% in early 2011. The highest rate of ESC fitment is in Sweden with a fitment rate of around 96%. Before you choose your next car, be sure to look for models with ESC.
ABS and Traction control are integral components of an ESC system. Whilst every car with ESC has ABS and Traction Control, those with ABS and Traction control do not necessarily have ESC. ABS and Traction Control only work in the driving (longitudinal) direction. ESC can help drivers to cope with sideways (lateral) movements which create instability. Unlike ABS and Traction Control, ESC is a holistic system that can control a car's entire movements.
No. Those who manufacture these systems say that ESC supports the driver but does not require changes to skill levels or driving styles.
Yes. Some of the names that we know about in Australia are:
European Research shows that ESC can contribute to reducing a car's depreciation. New cars purchased now with ESC will assist in the resale of that car in the future. It is anticipated that after the European Union mandate for ESC which begins in September 2011, that it will become increasingly difficult to resell a car without ESC**.
From 1 January 2011, all newly registered vehicles in Victoria must be fitted with ESC. This requirement applies to all passenger cars, off-road passenger vehicles, and forward-control passenger vehicles (e.g. passenger vans) with a compliance/identification plate date of 01/11 or after.

Over 25 pairs of tennis shoes, think I got a problem
I just bought two new pairs, stocking up on Wilson Trance Vision IIs for clay in the future. Just realized there are now over 25 pairs of shoes in my closets, rooms, car trunk, all over the place, adidas barricades, court ballistecs, New Balance 1187, Fila, Wilson, Oscillates (blue ones), two bairs of Babolats, one Asics, old CB 2.3 and 1.3 I just can't throw away. Is anyone else afflicted with tennisshoe addiction? Anyone got over 30 pairs? Or 40, or 50? : )
I don't have a shoe addiction, but instead a string and racquet one. :(
I got 30+, easy...maybe I'll get an exact count tomorrow.
I'm one of the worst. And my wife knows it which makes it worse. :(
I can easily wear one pair of shoes each week for almost 2 years without repeating them. Yes, that many. |
I might have 30+ new in boxes plus some vouchers but keep buying shoes as soon as I see heavy discounts. Usually wear one shoes at a time because of warranty.
You guys must have a lot of storage!
I have about six pairs of tennis shoes, but only one pair that is new in a box. Two pair I need to throw out. I keep an old pair in the trunk of my car just in case. If some of you would stop buying shoes, you could probably retire years ahead of schedule and play more tennis. Don't tell TW that I wrote this. I might get banned. |
Post some pics
I've got yonex 308 blue clay, vapor 9 silver/blue, and white/black barricade 7 that I rotate out. Wearing vapors on hard court right now because I've still got about 5 months left on the warranty on the b7's. in my closet however I have easily 20 pairs of various nike and adidas shoes that are either too small or too worn down. Just donated about 10 pairs to my local tennis center a few weeks ago too so I used to have more.

Wow you guys... I just have one pair that I wear every time I play.
I have well over 50 pair. No need to count lol. I've posted pictures before.
I did all my wash the other day and counted all of my tennis polos, it was nearly 200. Plenty of normal clothes too. J |
I have about 20+ pairs of tennis shoes. Overall...over 100 probably. I can't pass up good sales. Especially on tennis shoes. Recently I found volt/white ballistecs from the 12 us open for 60$. Did I need them? No. But I got them anyway haha |
Bad thing is, in my size, US12, here in Sweden there are almost no interest at all in the used section for lightly used tennis-shoes :-? |
I used to have the same problem before with Air Jordans, so I stopped buying them after 1998, so all I own are originals and a few retros. Same thing for tennis shoes.
But my main problem are business shoes, I have 8 JM Weston, 1 John Lobb, 1 EG, 2 Church's, 2 Gucci's and 1 Paul Smith I think it's a disease, each time I travel (London or Paris mostly) I cant resist bying shoes... |
I like my shoes to match my outfits and have abuut 8 pairs and 16 sets of clothes, all Adidas. I'll buy the blue with orange trim, the orange with blue trim, then a matching set of barricases that match those two outfits.
Mrs. Overheadsmash just washes in cold, then hangs them OVER a drying rack (never on a hanger as it can stretch out the neck) and let's them dry naturally. I have the Roland Garros sets from three years ago and they still look great! I play on har tru and indoor soft courts, so my shoes never wear out. |
Thanks it's comforting to know there are others enjoying this affliction as well )
Now excuse me while I scan the latest closeouts... |
ALso, "shoe goo" also preserves those classic shoes you just can't throw away and would like to use as walkers, trainers or work around the house.
