Alexis De Tocqueville warned that we would know the end of our unique system by the growth of soft tyranny where we transition to a new system, the nanny state. Here we are just over 2 centuries later with people cheering for the government to take care of all their needs and release them of all worry.
In exchange, you need only vote for the party of individuals that are promoting those programs. Not seeing that quality of service will always go down in a race with the level that expense goes up.
How soon before they take our paychecks and give us an allowance?

The Operating System for Life
DNA is the most advanced code every written. It can be looked at by strand, but it can also be built into dimensional structure of code. It is light years past our present understanding, though we learn more every day.
Information does not happen spontaneously. You also need the means to translate, act upon and maintain. You could have a DVD, but without the code written on it, the drive that reads it and the machine that does the operation, you have nothing.
We need to start with programming. Our programming is what tells our cells how to grow. The genetic programs RNA and DNA contain these instructions. That information needs protection so their genome doesn't degrade in whatever the environment. That would be the lipid membrane.
They also need the machinery to transform chemical energy into metabolic energy so they can replicate. Pre-existing proteins are needed to catalyze the reactions of metabolism and replication of the machinery. The synthesis of proteins depends on different pre-existing proteins and the ribosome which is like a small factory.
Take away any of these components and life doesn't exist. All this complexity is required at the same time and place for the simplest single-celled life.
Take away any of these components and life doesn't exist. All this complexity is required at the same time and place for the simplest single-celled life.
It doesn't stop there. The DNA information must be decoded. The ribosome is what does it, but the instructions to build ribosomes are on the DNA. The decoding also requires energy from ATP, built by ATP-synthase motors, built from instructions in the DNA decoded by ribosomes. This interdependence rules out chance.
Functional information has never been observed to arise by physical interaction alone. Matter cannot think and cannot produce information.
Dr. Michael Denton(a microbiologist) wrote: "The complexity of the simplest known type of cell is so great that it is impossible to accept that such an object could have been thrown together suddenly by some kind of freakish, vastly improbable event. Such an occurrence would be indistinguishable from a miracle"
In a recent Journal in Frontiers in Genetics, part of the US Library of Medicine, new findings on dual-gene codes are showing more complexity than previously imagined. What was once thought to be redundant information is now being recognized as secondary coding for another protein. Another cellular language that the ribosome interprets that tells it to pause and regulate the rate of protein production, allowing it to fold the protein into a 3 dimensional shape. So one layer of info tells it what kind and the other gives various shapes for the protein structure, but both sets of info are in the same section of DNA. The authors of the journal entry are not creationists, but state their findings in the context of complex intelligent design.
Mutations do not add information to this complex process. When you look at the human genome, the number of mutations is increasing form each generation. The DNA copying process has its own repair system, but the random single-character misspellings, deletions, insertions, duplication, trans-locations and inversions happen frequently. When matched with a mate that has the same mutation, you may have more serious problems like genetic diseases or birth defects. We can trace family lineage and generation by these mutations. The farther you go back, the less you find. This can be verified in a 2009 article in Nature, Human Mutation Rate Revealed. Elie Dolgin states, "Every time human DNA is passed from one generation to the next it accumulates 100–200 new mutations, according to a DNA-sequencing analysis of the Y chromosome." http://www.nature.com/news/2009/090827/full/news.2009.864.html
"Mutations are word-processing errors in the cell's instruction manual. Mutations systematically destroy genetic information—even as word processing errors destroy written information. While there are some rare beneficial mutations (even as there are rare beneficial misspellings), bad mutations outnumber them—perhaps by a million to one. So even allowing for beneficial mutations, the net effect of mutation is overwhelmingly deleterious. The more the mutations, the less the information. This is fundamental to the mutation process." –Dr. John Sanford, Geneticist.

Babel On
Have you ever thought about how regions and groups of people were named?
Noah's 1st mentioned grandson, Gomer, moved to what is now Turkey. His descendants were known as Gomerites and later Gauls and Galatians. They later spread into France and Spain. For centuries France was called Gaul and North-west Spain is called Galicia to this day. According to Welsh historians, some of went to Wales. J. Davis, says they 'landed on the Isle of Britain from France, about three hundred years after the flood' and the Welsh language is called Gomeraeg (after their ancestor Gomer).
We can trace the lineages of every major group by DNA back to the cradle of civilization just as their ancestors profess. The Encyclopedia Britannica says that the Armenians traditionally claim to be descended from Togarmah and Ashkenaz, which is the Hebrew word for Germany. They were 2 of the 3 sons of Gomer.
As people spread out across the globe, they lost certain traits that were once shared in the original DNA. Once no one in that area carried that trait, it was lost and many characteristics became more defined and distinct.
Now we have come back together in this great country, those lost traits may be once again introduced into your lineage. Our melting pot has more than the ability to blend. It has the ability to give us what we were missing on so many levels.

Promoting Failure
Democrat compassion means making failure more palatable. Higher wages for an entry level position, rather than encouraging them to get the experience and move up or out to a better job.
To those that find themselves making less than a "livable wage" - Don't just work, be an excellent employee. Do just do your job well, be willing to help others. Exude leadership. Take classes and/or ask many questions of those that have been raised up. You must realize that YOU are your own boss and that you need to make yourself valuable before you negotiate for higher compensation.

Redefining America
The Left has taken a remarkable tact in dominating how we think. If we take the etymology of liberty:
And compare it with the etymology of liberal:
We find that they have changed the definition to the polar opposite of its roots in freedom to one that gives up freedom or liberty to the State and makes us the wards whether wanted or not.
Now, they have a new Ruler that continues this method to the extremes.
Obama's plan for peace is to bomb people we don't know that are trying to escape totalitarian Islamic regimes, send money and arms to Radical Muslims that believe they can issue in their Mahdi by starting World War III.
Obama's jobs plan has put more people OUT of work than can find it.
And NOW, in his latest en devour, Obama has created a healthcare system that has taken health coverage AWAY from people and made it nearly impossible to replace. If they are among the few successful, they can look forward to higher rates, higher deductibles, and lower quality as Doctors will be forced to take less patients while being reimbursed less. If we use Medicare as the example, many Doctors can't afford to provide the services as they will lose money on their time.

Limited federal government with more power given to state and local governments.
Powerful centralized federal government with limited state and local control.
People and property rights are more important than environment. Supports conservation and development and use of our natural resources along with the development of green technology by private enterprise and when it is economically feasible and self-sustaining. Opposes cap and trade due to its high cost and negative impact on our businesses and way of life.
Environment more important than people and property rights. Supports rationing and limiting access to natural resources. Focuses on green technology subsidized by the government. Supports cap and trade.
Wealth is good. All have an opportunity to be wealthy. Creates a better life for all through entrepreneurship.
Wealth is bad and unfair. Promotes class warfare.

Equal results through such things as quotas and equal pay for unequal work. Have to level the playing field in order to have equal opportunity. Seeks equal outcomes.
Judicial restraint with strict interpretation of laws according to the Constitution and original intent.
Judicial activism: enacting social policy changes via court rulings. Constitution is seen as outdated and in need of change.
Free market economy. Free market creates jobs.
Government regulation of economy. Government creates jobs.
Business is good: creates jobs & improves lives. Give freedom for them to do what they do best. Let free market supply and demand adjust practices. Let employers and employees negotiate benefits.
Business is evil: out to exploit employees, environment, and consumers. Needs to be regulated to protect consumers, employees, and the environment. Government regulates employee benefits.
Traditional morality, including traditional family and values. Absolute standards of right and wrong. Absolute truth. Sees standing against wrong as a moral duty.
Tolerance of all lifestyles & beliefs except those that hold beliefs they consider to be politically incorrect like pro-life Christians. No absolute standards of right and wrong. Moral relativism.
Right to free speech must be supported even if it offends.
Right to free speech is limited to speech that does not offend. (Political correctness)
Peace through strength via a strong military.
Peace through appeasement, cooperation, and understanding others' views. Dislikes showing and exercising strength.
Supports a missile defense system.
Opposes a missile defense system.
American sovereignty comes before globalism.
Globalism comes before American sovereignty.
Sees America as good: the best hope for the world. Believes in American exceptionalism.
Sees America as flawed: racist, homophobic, imperialistic, sexist, ageist and no better than other countries.
Western cultures are superior to others without rights, freedom, and respect for life.
All cultures are equal. Can't pass judgment on any even if they don't value freedom, rights, and life.
God is a necessary part of a good society. Religion makes people good.
State is secular (without God). Seeks to eliminate all references of God.
Rights emphasized: Freedom, Parental, Property, Religious, Guns, Life.
Rights emphasized: Civil, Privacy, Secularism, and Reproductive.

London area of SE5 guide
What to do and where to stay in London's SE5 neighbourhood
A built-up, poorer part of South London, SE5's Camberwell is not bursting with hotels or attractions, although it is home to one of London's most important contemporary art spaces, the South London Gallery. With Camberwell College of Arts next door and King's College Hospital, one of London's largest teaching hospitals, round the corner, it is also literally home to lots of wacky art students and lots of tired med students. To the north is Burgess Park, Southwark's largest, which has 46 hectares of green space and includes sports pitches, a cycle track and a fishing lake. Camberwell is referenced in the film Withnail and I, during which one character makes a cannabis cigarette (or 'joint') made with 12 rolling papers which he refers to as the "Camberwell carrot". Famous SE5 residents include Florence Welsh, the singer of the band Florence the Machine.

Andy Bretl and his computer service business, The Help Key, have moved to a new Grand Avenue location in Port Washington, but not without an unexpected challenge.Before settling into the storefront at 477 W. Grand Ave., extra effort was required to remove the odors associated with the building's previous occupant, Sweet Buns Bakery."We painted all the walls and replaced the carpeting, because not everyone likes the smell of a bakery … especially all day," Bretl said, thinking as much about himself as his walk-in clients.A self-described techie, Bretl worked for more than 20 years with computers, including seven years as vice president of information technology for a Menomonee Falls company. He started the computer-service business out of his home in 2008. As his customer base grew — and domestic tranquility was put in jeopardy — he relocated to the second floor of Shirley Schanen Gruen's art studio on Franklin Street, then to larger space on North Wisconsin Street.Bretl said the move to the Grand Avenue location was "strictly a business decision."Although still settling in this week at the new shop, Bretl said he sees a lot of potential."It is weird being in a new place because things aren't where they used to be," he said."At about 1,100 square feet, the new location is probably slightly smaller than the old place but I would guess there is 50% more traffic."That kind of visibility usually translates into customers, especially for a service business."A small shop like this relies on referrals for a lot of our business. When I sent out postcards announcing the new location, the database of addresses had grown to almost 2,000 customers, so the word has been getting around," Bretl said."When you look around downtown Port Washington, I would say we've worked with about 50% of the businesses."The work volume varies greatly, but he said there are days when 10 to 12 computers are dropped off at the shop."Most of our business is from Port and Saukville, with some customers coming from the south part of the county and even southern Sheboygan County," Bretl said."We could probably get to the point where we would be working seven days a week, but I am like everyone else and like to have my weekends off."The Help Key specializes in servicing computers, although sales make up about 30% of the business.Bretl sells off-the-shelf Lenovo and Asus laptops and assembles customized desktop computers depending on the needs of the client."Some customers will come in and know exactly what they want. Others will say, 'I need to run this program, and I just want something that is going to work,'" he said.Although the mantra in the computer industry seems to be "smaller is better," demonstrated by the proliferation of iPads and tablet-sized smart phones, Bretl said his customers don't seem to be swept up in that trend."Maybe it is because our customers tend to be 40 years or older, or are professionals that want to do design work on their computers, but most of what we see are desktop machines with full-sized keyboards and larger monitors," he said.Computers can be dropped off for service, picked up by Bretl or worked on at the customer's work site.Although he specializes in helping customers get the most out of their computers, Bretl said he is not one to push the latest updated version of software or operating systems."You don't have to be on the cutting edge of software if your computer gets done what you want it to do," Bretl said, noting he still uses a computer that runs on Windows 2007.Although Apple makes up a growing part of the computer market, Bretl said "I don't really consider myself a Mac expert." He said he tells his customers up front that he can't beat "big box" stores on price, but he offers technical expertise to small businesses that can't afford their own information technology staff.The shop also offers a variety of video services, including converting VHS tapes, 8mm movies and Mini DV tapes to digital files that are stored on DVDs.The Help Key's phone number is still 284-0520.

New York State Geese Are All Fucked
You thought it was bad that 400 Canada geese in Prospect Park were killed? Now the state is planning to euthanize 170,000 of them. Run for your lives, geese!
According to City Room, who got hold of a report by some government agencies, "The nearly 400 geese gassed to death this month after being rounded up in Prospect Park in Brooklyn...were but a small part of the ambitious overall goal outlined in the document." Diabolical! New York State currently has a population of about 250,000 Canada geese. Which, apparently, is more than three times too many.
And how will the massacre be accomplished?
"The captured geese are placed alive in commercial turkey crates. The geese would be brought to a secure location and euthanized with methods approved by the American Veterinary Medical Association. Euthanized geese would be buried."
Charming. Although, apparently in the past 10 years, there have been 78 "Canada goose strikes" which cost over $2 million in damage to airplanes. But why can't we just round up the geese and put them somewhere else? Can you imagine dealing with 170,000 goose corpses?
Times commenter TMac said what everyone else was thinking: "What about Jersey?" Well, what about it?

To be sure, during moments of crisis – including both the Great Depression and World War II – Americans were willing to tolerate and even embrace sky-high rates. But conservative opposition remained powerful. In recent years, several scholars, most notably the sociologist Isaac Martin, have made clear just how vibrant the nation's antitax culture remained during Piketty's long half-century of soaking the rich.
Sure, the high wartime rates survived. But their durability had a lot to do with legislative inertia and vested interests. Congress, for instance, did a brisk business in shopping tax preferences to overburdened taxpayers
The power of conservative tax ideas — and their persistence throughout the postwar years — became clear in the 1970s, when Republicans used them to build a new electoral majority. Piketty views the years after 1980 as an aberration of sorts, or at least a premature departure from the U.S. tradition of taxing the rich. But in fact, the rate cutting revolution of the 1980s did not appear suddenly in the person of Ronald Reagan. Rather, Reagan gave expression to a dormant but always powerful tradition of antitax U.S. politics.
Ultimately, Piketty tells an easy but oversimplified story about U.S. fiscal politics. The United States has never been a pro-tax country, or at least not solely a pro-tax country. Calls for redistributive taxation have been a constant of U.S. politics, but they have shared the stage with conservative insistence that taxes be used "for revenue only."
Told correctly, American tax history is a story about conflict, not consensus. Liberals were on the winning side of that battle for a long time. But conservatives never gave up.

The staff and layout of the hotel were the two best things - it felt so removed and calm and the staff was incredibly nice.
I think the 'breakfast' leaves much to be desired. They only offered bread, bagels, yogurt and cereal.
The staff gave the best service I have experienced in a very long time. It was nice to only stay for one night and they remembered everything about you and your needs.
The decor in the room might have needed a touch up, but other than that... It was great.
It was nice that there was a pool. The weather was poor so we didn't get to try it, though.
This is very much a motel. The bed wasn't too bad but the toilet wasn't securely seated on the floor and would rock a little bit each time you sat down. The key to the room had to be really pushed into the lock or it didn't work properly (we had to get the guy at the front desk to help us when we first arrived).
It was VERY clean and very well kept, Hotel Employee is a friendly and helpful host.
I wish the room had a set of shear curtains so I could open the curtain during the day and still have privacy. Breakfast could be served earlier for us early risers.
Access to rail trail and to sister beachside resort. Local owner, been family owned for years. Friendly and helpful. Food, ice cream, mini golf and movies close by. Good pool. Good wifi. Classic Cape Cod motel with some modern updates.
Melissa and the rest of the staff are absolutely wonderful. They make you feel right at home at the inn. The room was beautiful and the breakfast was delicious!
The location is good.
The motel had literally one front office employee, that we had to go find at the motel diner because no one was working the front desk. My girlfriend and I showed up a few hours before check in to see if we could check in a little early, as we had to get ready for a wedding. We were told there was no way that they would be able to accommodate an early check in, as they had not even begun cleaning the rooms (this was at noon). I found this strange, as our car was one of only five in the parking lot. We were forced to book a different room at the four points next door, which allowed us to check in early, only to receive a call thirty minutes later from the Town Crier saying that we could check in early now. Both rooms were non-refundable so we ended up just having to eat the cost of the Town Crier and staying at the much nicer hotel next door. Overall a terrible experience.
The inn is very cozy, with a relaxed atmosphere. It is tastefully decorated with Cape Cod nautical theme, using authentic antiques, but is understated, not overdone. The breakfast is ample, with fresh pastries. In the afternoon, they have fresh home baked cookies and coffee, and provide the makings for some-mores if you want to make a fire in the outdoor fire pit. Each room is different, in keeping with the Inn's history. The building itself has been restored, with careful attention to all architectural details, inside and out, which added to its charm. The staff were all extremely friendly, polite and helpful. We will definitely be back.
Because the building is old, the A/C had to run constantly to keep the system balanced, but the temperature was comfortable. There was just a constant background noise from the duct work.
The motel is well run by the owners, John and Melanie. Clean as a whistle. The owners are helpful, friendly and very nice. This is the place to stay while on the Cape. Their food recommendations were on target. Could not be more pleased with our stay.
Can't think of a thing to complain about.

As the name implies, this scent is -only- for the reserved, modern gentleman, who can kill with one look and charm with a few words.I loathe the original polo but this, I proudly wear it and love catching a whiff of myself. There's almost a spicy scent to it that I love. Upon the dry down I detect a soft, sociable soapy-leather smell that oozes with class.I was apprehensive about only being able to buy a large bottle but now that I've worn this a few times, I see why it only comes in a large bottle.Another winner from Ralph!

How are these topics being handled by lawmakers in Washington?
Republican U.S. Senate Debate
As Republicans try to regain control of the U.S. Senate, Alaska's race is attracting new levels of national attention and an unprecedented volume of Outside money. Three Republicans are running for the chance to take on Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Begich in the November election. One is Alaska Lt. Governor and entrepreneur, Mead Treadwell. Ex-DNR commissioner and former Alaska attorney general Dan Sullivan is also vying for the job. And third, Joe Miller, a combat veteran and Yale Law School grad who calls his rivals too moderate. Hear all three at a debate hosted by the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce.
KSKA: Tuesday, August 12, at 2:00 and 9:00 p.m.
Listen now:
Minimum Wage Initiative Debate
Alaska voters have the opportunity to say 'yay' or 'nay' on a higher minimum wage. Ballot Measure 3 would raise the state's minimum wage from $7.75 per hour to $9.75 over the next two years, and then adjust the minimum wage for inflation each year after 2016. What are the potential effects to Alaska's economy? Is this a win for businesses and for workers, or does one side benefit at the other's expense? Hear the minimum wage initiative debated at a public forum hosted by Alaska Common Ground.
KSKA: Tuesday, August 5, at 2:00 and 9:00 p.m.
Listen now:
Forum On the Oil Tax Referendum
Taxes from oil production pay for a hefty chunk of Alaska's state government. Last year the Legislature narrowly passed Senate Bill 21, which offers tax cuts to encourage more drilling in the wake of declining oil production statewide. On August 19, voters will have the chance to repeal those cuts. Alaska Common Ground brings panelists from both sides of the debate to hash out the details of the oil tax referendum on the table.
KSKA: Tuesday, July 29, at 2:00 and 9:00 p.m.
Legalizing Marijuana
Alaska could follow in the footsteps of Colorado and Washington if voters choose to legalize marijuana in November. Ballot Measure 2 would tax and regulate the production, sale and use of marijuana in Alaska. Hear Kristina Woolston and Taylor Bickford debate what that means for the state in a debate hosted by the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce.
KSKA: Tuesday, July 22, at 2:00 and 9:00 p.m.

Goodwood from the driver's seat
We drive a classic 911 up Goodwood's hill climb as part of Porsche's 50th birthday celebrations.PT2M19S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2q1x7 620 349 July 16, 2013

In one hour's time I'm going to burn rubber in the tyre tracks of Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. And Jackie Stewart and Nelson Piquet and Jackie Ickx and even David Brabham. Fresh tyre tracks, no less, laid down just minutes before me. I'm going to drive the 1.9km Goodwood Hillclimb in front of 50,000 spectators.
I just hope I don't stall. Or worse, crash. That would be embarrassing, and very, very bad because I'm driving a museum piece. A car with history. A car with heritage. A unique vehicle.
Drive.com.au has come to the 21st Goodwood Festival of Speed to drive a 1978 Porsche 911 SC Martini-liveried rally car that competed in the Africa Safari. It weighs just over a tonne, has 210kW and dirt tyres. Even though it did not win the gruelling Safari, its race pedigree and rarity means it's worth more than seven figures. So if I crash, it'll take decades to repay the debt.
Goodwood from the driver's seat
Glenn Butler drives the1978 Porsche 911 SC Martini-liveried rally car.
When I visit my mighty steed on display in the Porsche pavilion beforehand — sitting between the 1984 Paris Dakar winning 959 and a mint-condition 1967 911, I'm dismayed to find the bonnet up and two Porsche museum mechanics busy beneath. Now, I'm not stupid, I know the 911 prefers its engine up the back, so it can't be engine trouble, but there are a lot of pipes and cooling components under the bonnet of this desert stormer. And I fear its ailment might be terminal.
I ask one of the mechanics if the car will be ready in an hour.
"Yes, of course it will run," he replies with typical German candour. "Why is it you wish to know?"
I show him my Goodwood driver's wristband and tell him I'll be driving it. He looks at me coolly.
"Well then, you just make sure it is still running when you bring my car back, yes?"
True to his word, when I return 30 minutes later to grid up, the bonnet is down, back behind the bank of spotlights on the bright orange bullbar. It's really going to happen. I'm going to drive Goodwood. Then the nerves hit. Hard. I take a deep breathe, and instantly regret it because the mechanic just started the engine and the petrol fumes are overpowering.
From there things happen very quickly, and very slowly. No sooner am I in my race suit and at the car's door than he's pushing me into the seat because the first car in our convoy is already pulling out. We have to follow in convoy through the crushing Goodwood crowd or risk being cut off from the start line. He tells me to put it in gear and drop the handbrake and go, go, go. So much for any driver briefing.
I manage to exit the pavilion without stalling, which is surprising because I'm shaking with nerves and the Safari's clutch feels heavier than a house. In stark contrast the throttle is very light, and my eager over-revving earns an admonishing look from the mechanic.
Wending through the crowd is a surreal experience. Everyone is looking at me. Okay, they're looking at the car, but they're also looking at the nut behind the wheel. And I can hear what a few of them are saying. "I don't know this race driver... Who is he... Maybe he's a celebrity from America?"
One boy beside the road takes photos of the 911s as we convoy past. He yells out "Yours is the best!" as me and my Safari trundle by. His enthusiasm is infectious, and pretty soon I'm smiling like a loon. A voice from the other side is a dad, his young son perched on his shoulders: "you've got a fan here too driver!" he shouts. His boy is grinning more madly than I am.
Then I'm being waved forward again, and without realising it I emerge onto the hillclimb course. A thousand eyeballs clock me and my red, white and blue beast as we roll downhill to the start. Cameras click, flashes flash and videos roll as a thousand memories are captured. I can just imagine the perplexed looks in the future when they try in vain to figure out the identity of the strange bearded bloke behind the wheel.
We trundle sedately down to the start line — there's only one driveway on Lord March's estate, so all make their way down to the start before turning around and screaming back up it in full flight. At the bottom we go into another holding pattern. I look across and see one of the Bentley Speed 8s that finished first and second at Le Mans in 2003. At the wheel is Aussie David Brabham. Behind him is Jacky Ickx in a Porsche 936 and then it's Hans Stuck in a Porsche 962. I want to get out and chat to them, you know, driver to driver, because that's what we are. Today, I'm among legends. I'm sharing the tarmac with legends. I just wish legendary-ness was infectious...
But the marshals are having none of it. One sees my door open and pops over. "No point getting out mate, we'll have you moving in a minute. Hang tight."
The Le Mans cars go first at 30 second intervals, departing in a cacophony of shrieking engine and shrieking tyres. Then it's our turn. But just as we crawl to the start line we're stopped as footage comes over the closed circuit TV of a crash. It doesn't look like a big shunt, more just a whoopsie oversteer slide into the hay bales, but my nerves skyrocket at the all-too real reminder of what awaits if I stuff up.
Perhaps the turmoil is evident on my face, because Franz the mechanic comes over. "Remember this", he tells me. "Nobody remembers you if you're fast. They only remember the fastest... And those who crash."
Err, right. Thanks for that. No doubt there's some sage advice in there somewhere but his last word just keeps playing and playing in my head.
Then the marshall waves off the Porsche in front of me, and because we're ostensibly doing a parade lap with these 911s — its the marque of celebration at this year's event — he waves me off in quick succession. We've been told to keep below 40mph (65km/h) but Vic Elford in the 911 in front of me is having none of that. Quick Vic was an absolute gun in the 1960s and 70s — in 1968, for example, he won the Monte Carlo Rally, the Daytona 24hr, the Targa Florio and the Nurburgring 1000km. Oh, he also finished fourth in an outclassed Cooper in the French Grand Prix that year, in torrential rain.
Quick Vic quickly disappears into the distance, and I decide that if he doesn't need to heed the speed limit, then neither do I. But, I also don't want my time on the hillclimb to end, so I settle for blasting up the revs in second and third before hitting the brakes to do it all again. And the fans love it, because my car's 35-year-old race engine sounds absolutely glorious. Loud. And glorious.
Look ma! They love me!
I can see now why some race drivers and celebs crave the adulation and attention. It is incredibly addictive, even for a total fraud and interloper like me.
But really, at Goodwood there are no frauds or interlopers. Everybody is here to revel in a shared love of cars. And I know that when I'm standing on the other side of the hay bales I want the drivers to rev the hell out of their steeds.
I want to hear the thunderous roar of a race engine on full noise. I want to see the car blasting past on max attack, screaming and shrieking and celebrating the incredible achievements of their makers and their drivers.
That stupid, slack jawed grin is back on my face. I'm having an absolute ball. This is automotive heaven. Blasting up a Lord's driveway in a bona-fide Porsche race car. Sharing the tarmac with racing legends, lords, car collectors, Hollywood stars. Right now I can't imagine anything in the world that could possibly top this experience.
I have no idea what time I posted on the hillclimb. It felt like ten seconds, but it also felt like ten minutes, because time has a weird way of going incredibly fast and incredibly slow when you're immersed in the moment. And all I knew is that I never wanted that moment to end. It did, though, but it doesn't matter because I'll remember the day I drove in the tyre tracks of giants forever.

View all NCAA Football scores for 10/4/2008
FACTS & STATS: Site: Falcon Stadium (46,692) -- Colorado Springs, Colorado. Television: Versus. Home Record: Navy 2-0, Air Force 1-1. Away Record: Navy 1-2, Air Force 1-0. Neutral Record: Navy 0-0, Air Force 1-0. Conference Record: Navy 0-0, Air Force 1-1. Series Record: Air Force leads, 25-15.
GAME NOTES: Competition for the annual Commander-in-Chief's Trophy gets underway this weekend in Colorado as the Air Force Falcons contend with the Navy Midshipmen. Pitting the three service academies against each other, the annual tournament usually centers around the Army/Navy matchup at the end of the season, but for now the focus is on the Falcons and the Middies. Last weekend, the Midshipmen geared up for a meeting against 16th-ranked Wake Forest in Winston-Salem and dismissed the Demon Deacons by a score of 24-17, marking the first win for the program over a ranked squad in almost a quarter century. The victory was also the second in a row for the Mids, the team having dealt Rutgers a 23-21 setback a week earlier. As for the Falcons, they enjoyed a bye last weekend after suffering their first setback of 2008. On September 20th, Air Force challenged fellow Mountain West Conference member and 20th-ranked Utah at home and was handed a 30-23 defeat, snapping the team's three-game win streak to open the campaign. Despite losing to the Middies last season, 31-20, Air Force still maintains a 25-15 advantage in the all-time series between the two service academies and will be traveling to New York to confront Army the first week of November. The Falcons are 14-5 at home versus Navy over the years and have taken the trophy in this round-robin tournament a total of 16 times.
Despite losing starting quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada in the second quarter when he went out with a left hamstring injury, the Navy offense stood firm and still managed to play well enough to come away with the seven-point win over Wake Forest. Eric Kettani posted a career-best 175 yards rushing and backup signal-caller Jarod Bryant recorded the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter for the squad. With Kaheaku-Enhada listed as questionable for this weekend's festivities, Bryant will probably be asked to shoulder much of the load for the Middies from a quarterback standpoint, yet everyone knows Navy avoids passing the ball at all costs. After five games the unit is averaging a meager 80.2 ypg through the air, which is 117th in the nation, while the running game takes center stage with a remarkable 335 ypg. Second only to Oklahoma State by less than six yards per game, the ground attack for the Midshipmen is spearheaded by Shun White and his 138.6 ypg (fourth nationally). But with three different players having already picked up at least 200 yards rushing this season, it is never easy to pick your poison against the Middies.
Against a team that entered the week as the nation's leader in turnover ratio with a +10, the Middies turned the tables on Wake Forest by forcing the home team into no less than six turnovers, including four interceptions. In stark contrast to the dominance of the Navy running attack, the Demon Deacons managed a mere 43 yards on 31 attempts as players like Jabaree Tuani produced a pair of tackles for loss, while also logging a forced fumble in the contest. For as much as the team runs the ball on Saturday's, Navy has one of the better run defenses in the country, allowing only 104 ypg. Unfortunately, when it comes to a pass defense, the squad doesn't get to practice against an accomplished group during the week so it tends to struggle come game time. At this point, Navy is 108th in the country at stopping aerial attacks by opponents, permitting just under 275 ypg. Tackles for loss continue to be a rare commodity for the group, with the Middies averaging only four per game to tie for 109th in the nation this week.
Just like Navy, the Falcons are well known for their affinity for throwing the ball. After the first four games this season, Air Force is sixth in the nation with an average of 281.8 ypg, which is easily the top average for any program in the Mountain West Conference these days. Several players have shouldered the majority of the load for the Falcons in that area, with Kyle Lumpkin generating a team-best 258 yards on 67 carries, yet he has not made it into the end zone on any one of those attempts. Kyle Halderman accounts for 243 yards and has averaged better than 10 yards per carry, but he's scored only once, which leaves quarterback Shea Smith as the top producer with five of the team's 10 rushing scores thus far. As has been the trend with Air Force football, the passing attack takes a distant backseat to that of the running game, with Smith averaging a paltry 57 ypg which leaves the academy dead last in all of college football in that department. Because Smith rarely drops back to pass, it should come as little surprise that the Falcons are tied for first in the nation with zero sacks allowed.
Not only are the Falcons one of the best in the country at protecting their quarterback, the defense for the program is the best at getting after the signal-caller for the other team. At this point in the campaign Air Force is averaging four sacks per outing, which is actually tied with Tulane for the top mark in the nation. Jake Paulson has been a beast in that area with an incredible seven sacks in four games, which means his 1.75 sacks per contest is easily best in the nation as well. But more than just Paulson, there are eight other players who have registered at least half a sack for the team so far this season, which means offenses cannot simply overload and protect against the senior defensive end. Also working in the Falcons' favor is the fact that they are currently first in the MWC and fifth in the country in turnover margin with a plus-1.75 per game. Chris Thomas and Ryan Kemp both have a pair of fumble recoveries, accounting for almost half the unit's nine fumble recoveries to date.
If Kaheaku-Enhada is unable to go for the Middies the home team might feel as though it has the advantage. But Air Force must remember not to underestimate the strength of the Navy rushing attack, one that will give the Falcons fits for 60 minutes.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Navy 28, Air Force 20

Movies in a Minute: The Heat
An FBI agent becomes paired up with a Boston cop to help bring down a drug lord. The two ladies have trouble getting along at first because they are so different and neither has ever had to work with a partner before. The two must overcome their differences and learn to work together to achieve the task.
Again, this is a movie with a plot you've seen before. However, this time it's with two ladies played by Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. The two have some genuine chemistry together and have some hilarious scenes together; which takes away from the fact that you know the plot.
I enjoyed this one, Melissa McCarthy is a must watch.

Almost all other similar extensions makes left-click open in a new foreground tab, and middle-click open in a new background tab. That is also the Firefox default behaviour.
Please include such an option to make things easier for some of us.
Great extension, but there are a few features missing:
1) The ability to pause, stop, and play the link checking process. Saves everyone bandwidth and other resources.
2) The ability to check only links you select. What's the point of the right-click menu otherwise?
Hope you consider them in future updates.
Great extension, I hate some of the sites without these basic usability.
I notice a bug though. On wallpaperswide.com, downloaded images has open in browser as text by default.
Great effective add-on that works in real-time scanning instead of checking databases of ratings or whatnot. Works fine in all recent stable versions of Firefox.
Great job, hope it gets completely reviewed soon.
Even if you force install it via about:config, modified .xpi, or extensions like Add-on Compatibility Reporter, Manage Shortcuts does not works on Firefox 5.
Thanks ostkamp, ShortCutKey2URL is superior, only problem is no mouse support and CTRL+Space. It has an addressbar button and good compatibility though.
This add-on is always behind, and I'm sick of it.
