1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT Q&A
1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT Question: Manufacturer's Oil Filter?
I had thought I had heard in the past that the oil filter for my car should only be replaced by the manufacturers' oil filter. True? I had heard it was specifically made for my car. Can I just go to Firestone or some place like that and have them put on any filter they say fits my car? Please advise. Thanks, RM - mimron2001
Answer 1
Everyone has there own preference. The filter designed by the manufacturer of course meets manufacturer specification. An American manufacturer called Wix makes great filters. Consumer Reports did a test on filters some faired better than others. I dislike Fram and some cheaper filters as they don't seem to have the same filtration that other filters claim to have. - patrick mannion

Say what you want about him as a person, but everything on television that Charlie Sheen touches seems to turn to gold. It's been revealed by The Hollywood Reporter that the actor's come back show Anger Management is to be renewed for a further 90 episodes. This is great news for fans of Martin Sheen too, because it was recently reported by several outlets that he'd be appearing more on the show on condition that it did get extended. So get ready for some Sheen and Sheen action!
"We set a very high ratings bar that included some additional hurdles for Anger Management to earn its back-90 order, and the series met and exceed those metrics," said FX Networks executive vice-president Chuck Saftler upon announcing the renewal. "[Showrunner] Bruce Helford has created a sitcom that works extremely well in our pre-10 p.m. programming lineup. Charlie Sheen and the entire cast did an amazing job in the first 10 episodes, which were produced in a very tight window. I have no doubt that the producers and cast will be able to pull off the Herculean task of producing 90 episodes over the next two years." Kudos!
There were doubts about whether Sheen could pull it off, given that in some respects his return hasn't necessarily shown him to be a greatly different person from the man who suffered an infamous meltdown. More fool us though, he truly is back.

He also mentions baby goat in his Symphony In H song.. Not only that but he has 3 DAUGHTERS!! And he cares alot about em i bet he wouldn't be illuminati.. Not only that but alot of celebrities get wrong judgment for being illuminati for some random fun pose they did.. so people calm down..If he was illuminati i bet alot of award shows he goes to wouldn't accept him nor would become friends with Lil Wayne who's an open Christian..

Time machine: Demo song featuring the Roland Juno-106
Vintage synthesizer demo track by RetroSound
"Analog Days"
all synthesizer sounds: Roland Juno-106 Analog Synthesizer (1984)
drums: Roland TR-707
recording: multi-tracking without midi
fx: a bit reverb
more info: http://www.retrosound.de
Info about the synth:
The Juno-106 is a very common and widely used analog polysynth. It continues to be one of the most popular analog synths due to its great sound and easy programmability. It was the next major incarnation of the Juno-series, following the Juno-60. While it has virtually the same synth engine as the Juno-60, the 106 added extensive MIDI control making it one of Roland's first MIDI-equipped synthesizers. There was also increased patch memory storage, up to 128 patches instead of the 56 patches available in the Juno-60. However, the Juno-60 is often said to have a slight sonic edge over the more advanced 106. The 60 had the ability to modulate oscillator pulse from its envelope and has a "punchier" sound quality.
The Juno-106 is a six-voice polyphonic and programable analog synth with one digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) per voice. While classic monophonic synths used two or three oscillators to create a fatter sound, the Juno-106 uses built-in Chorus to fatten up its sound to dramatic effect. The nature of its DCO meant it was stable and always in perfect tune but still warm and analog. There is an excellent 24dB/oct analog lowpass filter with plenty of resonance and self-oscillating possibilities and a non-resonant highpass filter. The programable pitch/mod bender can be assigned to control the DCO pitch, VCF cutoff, and LFO amount all at once or individually.
The Juno-106 was the first MIDI equipped Juno and its implementation is quite good. There are 16 MIDI channels available and MIDI SysEx data can be transmitted/received from all the sliders and buttons for total remote control and sequencing capability. A switch on the back of the keyboard, next to the MIDI ports allows the user to switch between three types of MIDI modes: Keyboard and Hold data only; Keyboard, Hold, Bender, Patch selection data; or All data (including SysEx). Most users simply set it to MIDI Function mode 3 and forget it.
This synth is incredibly straightforward and very powerful. It's SH-series derived panel layout is easy to understand and very hands-on. Use it to generate lush pads, filter sweeps, and funky bass lines and leads. The Juno-106 is an awesome learning tool for anyone new to analog synthesis, as well as an electronic musician's dream for its warm analog sounds coupled with modern features like MIDI and memory – all at a very reasonable price. And still the Juno-106 has an even cheaper alter-ego in the form of the HS-60 – a hobbyist version with built-in speakers.

Key Features:
– 1000+ expertly crafted synth patches, or create your own
– Multiple Filter and Oscillator Types
– Audiobus Support
– MIDI In allows for control from other apps or hardware controllers
– Collapse the keyboard to a scale and key of your choice, just like Figure
– Move patches back and forth between Thor on iPad and Thor in Reason
– Expressive touch interface with aftertouch and strumming
Thor is a comprehensive synth app for the iPad. Designed for mobile music making, it features a responsive interface optimized for hands on control, an innovative keyboard and the same massive synthesis engine as its desktop cousin. It's the same semi-modular synth with the same set of selectable oscillator and filter types and the same advanced routing of audio and modulation.
Aside from a regular piano style keyboard, Thor features a keyboard that can be locked to specific keys and scales, making it impossible to hit a wrong note. This is particularly useful on a mobile device when playing directly on the screen. More than just helping the player to stay in key, this musically aware keyboard is a source of endless inspiration and experimentation.
The Reason Thor Polyphonic synth now on iPad
Propellerhead Software has launched Thor for iPad, a synthesizer app based on the flagship synthesizer in Reason. Here's all the detail:
Thor for iPad puts the mighty Thor synthesizer at your fingertips. Reason's legendary flagship synth delivers a thunderous sound, god-like sound sculpting capabilities and an innovative, lighting-fast keyboard designed for iPad. Thor is a synthesis playground, a flexible sonic workhorse, but above all, an expressive musical instrument for the iPad.

Free polyphonic synth for iPad – LH Rubbing
Here's a nice Friday morning treat for you all iPad synth guys out there
Liu Hao has released LH Rubbing – a free polyphonic software synthesizer app for iPad.
Here's what Hao has to say about LH Rubbing:
- There are three wave oscillators, one noise oscillator, two LFOs and one three type embedded filter (low-pass, hi-pass and bandpass).
- Each wave oscillator can generate three kinds of waveform which are triangle, square and saw wave.
- LFO can be attached to different modul for different modulation or control such as OSC Pitch, PW, Filter Cutoff Frequency, Filter Resonance and OSC Output Mixing.
- The frequency and amplitude of the 1st LFO can be modified by the 2nd LFO.
- Pitch, Filter Cutoff Frequency and Resonance can be controlled by the ADSR envelope generator.
- The Keyboard Rubbing brings up vibrato while control the vibrato rate and depth.
Spire – new software polyphonic synthesizer
Reveal Sound tell us that they are a company founded by musicians and programmers in 2009 for creating first-class audio plug-ins. They say that the purpose of their company is to prove that the sound of soft-synths can be amazing and that they are constantly improving their algorithms to achieve the perfect result.
Their first product is Spire, a software polyphonic synthesizer that they say combines powerful sound engine modulation and flexible architecture with a graphical interface that provides unparalleled usability.
Oberheim FVS-1 Four Voice Vintage Analog Synthesizer Overview
The Oberheim polyphonic is an analog music synthesizer that was produced from 1975 to 1979. Four dual-oscillator SEM modules each with its own filters and envelopes are joined together along with a simple analog mixer and 49-note keyboard to give you a polyphonic/polytonal Obie-beast!
This combination gives you eight oscillators and four voices of polyphony because there are basically four discrete mono-synths all connected together. This has its pros and cons. What is cool is that this was a lot of simultaneous voices for the mid-seventies. And the ability to craft a different sound on each voice led to some diverse and complex sounds. However, it also meant you have to program each voice independently. Each voice also has its own independent audio output.
The Polyphonic Synthesizer Programmer, released in 1976 and added to the Four Voice stores 16 patches per voice (all of which can be different). The Four Voice could accommodate an additional four SEMs, making it just like the Eight Voice model which officially appeared in 1977.
Unfortunately the Four Voice was blown out of the competition by the release of the polyphonic Sequential Prophet-5, which offered true polyphony with a single set of sound shaping controls and comprehensive patch memory.
the microTone – microtonal polyphonic synthesizer + controller for iPad
A little demo of the microTone with iRig MIDI and (free) osynth!
i connected an iRig MIDI to my iPad with the microTone running. The MIDI signal goes via audio/MIDI interface into my computer where the data is parsed by osynth.
the microTone:
– control one octave fluently without steps. Just glide over the keyboard with up to 10 fingers!
– switch octaves or lowest/highest notes
– the microTone has an integrated polyphonic synthesizer with 8 different sound presets
– send pitch data over MIDI cable to your computer
– send pitch data over WiFi to your computer (receive MIDI or OSC data with e.g. max/MSP or OSCulator)
– receive microTone MIDI or OSC data with osynth: a free synthesizer, made for the microTone.
– voice1: saw/sine with hpf
– voice2: white noise filtered with note frequency
– voice3: sine sub-osc
– voice4: sine osc one octave higher
– voice5: wavetable osc
– reverb
– stereo delay
– binaural FX
– pitch random modulator
– recallable presets
– connect the microTone with core MIDI over WiFi or cable
– connect the microTone with OSC over WiFi
Here Comes The Schmidt Polysynth
Here Comes The Schmidt Polysynth – Video Just because..
Mr Schmidt has made this synth to be a Super Synth – and indeed it appears to be just that. This is definitely a case of, if you have to ask how much this is, then you cant afford it. It has presets, it has 7 filters (3 ladder type, 4 state variable 12 dB set up as 2 'dual filters') and 4 Oscs – each osc is a bit different. Something like 107 knobs on the thing!

One of the highlights of spring at the Jersey Shore is the annual Novo Nordisk New Jersey Marathon weekend, a three-day celebration of fitness, physical activity and healthy competition. And while the main attractions are the full marathon, half-marathon and half-marathon relay on Sunday, April 26, runners, joggers, walkers, staff and volunteers are preparing for an array of activites that race director Joe Gigas, a longtime Shore resident, hopes will be the biggest ever.
"We have a great group of participants this year including the Mayors of Long Branch and Oceanport, two returning New Jersey Marathon champions, one runner completing their 100th marathon, cancer survivors, families running together, and everyone in between," said Gigas. "Over the last few years we've seen a strong increase in the number of female participants. They outnumber the men in the half marathon distance and among all participants registered for our races, women marginally outnumber men."


text: Conflict ConflictPoliticsChinaMiddle EastRussia News Desk on Mar 13, 2012 @ 6:15 AMMar 13, 2012 @ 6:15 AM PublishedEyeing oil, China may soften stance on SyriaChinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and the ruler of Sharjah, Sultan bin Mohammed al-Qassimi ,attend the China-Arab Business conference in the United Arab Emirates on Jan., 18 2012. Wary of losing access to the Gulf's oil, China may be softening its stance on Syria.DAMASCUS, Syria — As evidence emerges of more massacres by Syrian forces, one of two key veto-wielding nations protecting the regime from international action looks set to soften its stance: China.Having vetoed only six UN Security Council resolutions in its history — the majority of them related to Taiwan, a nation China sees as a breakaway part of its sovereign territory — diplomats and observers say Beijing is unlikely to use its veto for a third time to protect the Syrian government."After the EU and US embargo on Iranian oil, China began to think twice about its relations with the Gulf Cooperation Council, the biggest oil exporter to oil-thirsty China," said a Syrian political analyst based in Damascus who requested anonymity in order to speak freely."Saudi Arabia, which leads the GCC, has taken a strong anti-Assad position and China has big interests and investments in the GCC. China has no big investments in Syria. The Chinese felt they made a big mistake by following Russia."More from GlobalPost: Syria: To intervene or not to intervene?Both Russia and China have twice vetoed Security Council resolutions condemning the Syrian regime's violence against its own people and calling on President Bashar al-Assad to step down, arguing that the international community should not interfere in the internal affairs of independent states.Diplomats are now negotiating a third Security Council resolution, due to be put to vote this week. The revised resolution will likely not include a call for Assad to step down and would condemn violence by both the government and the armed opposition as well.British Foreign Secretary William Hague said last week that both China and Russia were paying "a diplomatic price," particularly in the eyes of Arab nations, for their support of Assad.On March 7, a Chinese envoy met with Syrian Foreign Minister Waleed al-Moallem in Damascus to present a six-point plan for finding a political solution to the crisis in Syria.Over the following weekend up to 47 people were killed in Homs, including children, in areas of the city formerly controlled by rebels but recently taken over by regime forces. State-run media acknowledged the latest deaths but blamed "armed terrorist gangs."Photos distributed by activists showed the bodies of five children, some of whom appear to have had their throats slit or had suffered stab wounds. In the days immediately following the withdrawal of the Free Syrian Army from Homs' Baba Amr neighborhood, witnesses said that Assad's militias, known as the Shabiha, killed dozens of civilians.In 2004, Assad became the first Syrian leader to visit China. Within three years, Syrian-Chinese trade had soared to some $1.5 billion, making China Damascus' largest trading partner, though almost exclusively through Chinese goods imported to Syria.More from GlobalPost: Syria: How it all began with a couple of kids and a can of spray paintChina has two oil companies with small concessions in Syria that employ a few hundred Chinese workers and technical engineers. They were recalled last week, however, on the day China's envoy to Syria, Li Huaxin, arrived in Damascus.After abstaining on the vote that authorized international action on Libya, China was forced into an 11th-hour rescue of nearly 36,000 Chinese nationals from Libya when NATO began its bombing campaign.Before travelling on to a meeting with GCC head Abdullatif al-Zayani in the Saudi capital on Sunday, Li Huaxin also met with a delegation from the Syrian Coordination Commission for Democratic Change, led by veteran opposition figure Hassan Abdul Azim."He urged us to begin unconditional dialogue with the government but we told him the regime should prepare to negotiate on a transition period," said a member of Azim's group."We want to talk about how to move Syria from dictatorship to democracy. We cannot sit and talk with officials who are engaged in bloodshed and killing. The Chinese began to change their minds and listen to us. China will not stand with the Assad regime like before."This story was reported by a GlobalPost journalist in Damascus and written by Hugh Macleod in Beirut.

A History of Wine in America, Volume 2: From Prohibition to the Presentby Thomas Pinney
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A History of Wine in America is the definitive account of winemaking in the United States, first as it was carried out under Prohibition, and then as it developed and spread to all fifty states after the repeal of Prohibition. Engagingly written, exhaustively researched, and rich in detail, this book describes how Prohibition devastated the wine industry, the conditions of renewal after Repeal, the various New Deal measures that affected wine, and the early markets and methods. Thomas Pinney goes on to examine the effects of World War II and how the troubled postwar years led to the great wine boom of the late 1960s, the spread of winegrowing to almost every state, and its continued expansion to the present day.
The history of wine in America is, in many ways, the history of America and of American enterprise in microcosm. Pinney's sweeping narrative comprises a lively cast of characters that includes politicians, bootleggers, entrepreneurs, growers, scientists, and visionaries. Pinney relates the development of winemaking in states such as New York and Ohio; its extension to Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, and other states; and its notable successes in California, Washington, and Oregon. He is the first to tell the complete and connected story of the rebirth of the wine industry in California, now one of the most successful winemaking regions in the world.
"Pinney covers new ground and new research, and treats the entire period in a new way. [History of Wine in America] will be welcomed by scholars and by wine enthusiasts."and#151;Dr. James Lapsley, University of California, Davis
"A worthy successor to Pinney's landmark History of Wine in America: From the Beginnings to Prohibition, and like that volume evidencing a wealth of knowledge, presented with grace and style. In addition to telling fascinating stories, both of these books are invaluable references. Anyone interested in the history of American wine should read them."and#151;Paul Lukacs, author of American Vintage: The Rise of American Wine
"I am confident the term definitive will apply to this work for innumerable vintages to come. Wine lovers from New England to California now have one place to turn for the history of their favorite beverage, wherever in America its grapes are grown."and#151;Charles L. Sullivan, author of A Companion to California Wine and Zinfandel
"An essential reference book for anyone wishing to sound authoritative at the dinner table."and#151;Bruce Cass, editor of The Oxford Companion to the Wines of North America
About the Author
Thomas Pinney is Professor of English, Emeritus, at Pomona College. He is the author of A History of Wine in America: From the Beginnings to Prohibition (California, 1989) and has published scholarly work on George Eliot, Lord Macaulay, and Rudyard Kipling.
