Bonobos are not as widespread as their chimpanzee cousins and are threatened by loss of habitat as large areas of rainforest are being cleared to make way for agriculture, for timber extraction and for development (1). Although traditionally not targeted by hunters as a result of local taboos (9), this species is today at risk from the bushmeat trade; the demand for which has recently increased, threatening much of Africa's wildlife (2).

After lengthy consideration, Google launched Google.cn, a China-based search engine that discloses to its users when information is censored.
How responsible is it for IT companies to curtail information dissemination for the sake of profit? In testimony before the Committee on International Relations, Google's vice president of global communications and public affairs, Elliot Schrage, explained that Google was one of the last Internet search giants to enter the Chinese market. Also, he noted that many countries censor material on the Internet, including the United States, which once banned child pornography sites in Pennsylvania. France filters neo-Nazi content from its search engines. Germany blocks access to foreign-based hate sites. Iran filters political sites that are critical of the government. Why focus on China?
"Because," Cruz says, "China is profitable. The Internet in the Asia Pacific Rim will be worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the next five to ten years. IT companies know it, and they have been quick to acquiesce to the needs of the Chinese government in order to grab a piece of the pie."
Amnesty International has not overlooked the fact that Google has struggled with its principles over this decision. And it recognizes that of Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft, only Google has met Amnesty's call for transparency in filtered searches. Wouldn't Google be doing more of a disservice to the Chinese by not providing a Chinese-based search engine? According to Cruz, no.
"This type of censorship has never led to anything productive," Cruz says. "It has always been used to oppress the views of those who challenged the status quo. When these companies say 'a censored search engine is better than none at all,' I believe this is a slap in the face to the Chinese men and women who fight this repressive government."
While Amnesty International continues to draw attention to China's government, China is very much a part of the global economy. With China in the World Trade Organization, can companies like Google resist joining the rest of the global community? Google has called on the US government to treat censorship as a barrier to trade, but censorship has not stopped them from entering China.
The US government opposes the United Nations business norms declaration, which decrees that companies are obligated under international law to protect human rights. The US delegation states that human rights abuses are the result of national governments, not private enterprises. With their own country openly questioning the role of companies in overseas human rights abuses, is it fair to call these companies complicit for following the rules of trade? SFBG

Whoppers Sno-Balls
Sometimes I really want some malted milk balls. I've never liked Whoppers much though, the mockolate coating simply ruins it for me. On the other hand, their Robin's Eggs at Easter are pretty good. The mockolate layer is minimized by being far thinner, covered in a hard candy shell and of course a larger center for more malt.
Those sorts of candy coated malted milk balls used to be limited to Easter availability, but like many other items that are becoming more common for the Christmas holiday season (Cadbury Mini Eggs & Creme Eggs), Whoppers has their Sno-Balls.
These were freakishly cheap, on sale for $2.00 for a 17 ounce bag, so I really am in no position to complain about anything about them.
But I will.
First, on the package there's a penguin in front of an igloo. There's also a polar bear and walrus ... which is fine, they're arctic animals. The penguin, however, is a southern hemisphere animal. Why not just put a lion on there or a kangaroo?
Second, mockolate. Why, oh why, can't Hershey's put some real chocolate on here? It's not even that much of a chocolatey coating here. The good thing, though, is that the Sno-Balls have less fat in them than regular Whoppers. A 41 gram serving of Whoppers has 7 grams of fat ... all of them saturated. The Sno-Balls have 5 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of them are saturated. Okay, still not great, especially when it's coming from Partially Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil. (Honestly, I can't figure out how they both have the same 180 calories per serving though with 30% less fat in the Sno-Balls. Fat is twice as caloric as carbs or protein ... maybe there's more fiber in regular Whoppers?)
But all that ranting aside, these are quite cute. The white spheres are speckled to various degrees with red and green. The crackly candy shell has a thin layer of mockolate below it. Both have a soft, cool effect on the tongue. The malt center is dense and crispy. It doesn't have a huge malt or salt punch like some others, but a nice texture that melts in the mouth well.
I'd love it if they were a little bigger so I'd get more of the malt proportion I crave. What's particularly nice about these over the Robin's Eggs is that there's less artificial coloring. I never cared for the pink Robin's Eggs because they taste bitter to me. In this assortment there is no bad egg.
I've been eating them for a couple of days, and as long as I don't think about how much I'd like them to be Chocolate Covered Malted Milk Balls, well, we're getting along fine.

Brach's Fiesta Eggs
The full name on these is Brach's Pastel Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs which of course made me wonder if they have another product that is perhaps primary colors or just black and white. Malted milk eggs at Easter were a particular favorite of mine. They were one of those interactive candies, you can lick the shell and then color your lips with the coral pink or white chalky edible makeup. (That white lipstick was quite the look when I was very little.)
Now of course I'm much more interested in the "real milk chocolate" part of the wrapper. Brach's has been owned by Barry Callebaut since 2003, so maybe they were teaching Brach's a thing or two about chocolate. They don't need to be taught how to make boiled sugar candy, they do that just fine.
The Fiesta Eggs are big and bold. They make a satisfying clacking sound in the bag when you roll them around. They can be eaten whole (or applied liberally over the face) but I prefer to bite them in half and have a look. I don't know what I expect to find, as it has always been the same ... malt center, chocolate layer and then hard colored shell. But you never know! (Actually, I've eaten very old malt balls before and every once in a while I've gotten ones with "melted" centers but shells that are intact or just a little dented.)
Fiesta Eggs smell like Easter. They're sweet and have a slight vanilla hint to them. This bag was very fresh, the shells were super crisp and the centers were light and airy.
Unlike the normal chocolate covered malt balls, the Fiesta Egg is more about the combination of the texture of the hard sugar shell and the light crunch of the malted center. The chocolate layer provides a little bit of a creamy texture, but not much flavor. In the Brach's chocolate, as far as I can tell, is too too sweet.
These still aren't my ultimate malted egg. I'm not sure I've found it yet. I wasn't blown away by the Jelly Belly ones either and I picked up some more vibrant colored ones (but I don't know the brand) a the Sweet Factory a few weeks ago in the bulk bins. They tasted too much like food coloring and not enough like malt. Perhaps such a candy doesn't exist.
But you can be sure that I'm going to finish these! How do I look with lilac lipstick?
UPDATE: 3/30/2011 - The pastel ones are hard to find, but I did run across a white version. They say they're made with real milk chocolate, but they're still not very chocolatey.
UPDATE 3/2/2012: Another newer version has appeared on store shelves. They are much, much larger, but have a more flavorful malt center and perhaps better chocolate. Check out the new review here.

Jelly Belly Deluxe Easter Mix
I found a great new candy store over the weekend. At the suggestion of a reader (thannks Jenny!) I journeyed to City of Commerce to visit Garvey Nut & Candy. It's a warehouse, mostly wholesale, but they also sell retail. The bulk (and I mean bulk) of their products are sold in full cases, but it's cash & carry, so no shipping costs incurred.
They had a small selection of items that were sold from open boxes. Just about all of it was from their Easter inventory. At FANTASTIC prices. One of the finds was the Jelly Belly Deluxe Easter Mix ... at $2.35 for a 9 ounce bag, it's unheard of. The Jelly Belly online sells the same bag for $4.99 (in a prettier store, I'll admit). If you're planning a big party or wedding and live in the LA area, this might be just the place for you. High end chocolates and mints to bulk wrapped candies to nuts and nut mixes. For the Easter goodies they had the large packages of Peeps of all kinds for 99 cents, jelly beans (all sorts of Jelly Belly seasonal products), deluxe chocolate eggs (fudge, peanut butter, vanilla), baskets, tins and foil eggs by the kilo (some by Madelaine, which are quite tasty).
You may have to ask them for prices on many items and you may need help finding things. (Their website isn't very good, so don't bother.) They have funky hours too: 8AM - 4:30PM on weekdays and Saturday 9-2 (until Easter, then they're closed on Saturdays until August). I'll probably head back down there for a look at their Halloween goodies in the fall.
Garvey Nut & Candy
Okay, enough of that, you came here for some candy, didn't you?
The Deluxe Easter Mix contains assorted pastel Jelly Bellys, bunny corn, mellocremes, gummi eggs and malted chocolate eggs. (It's also supposed to contain chocolate eggs, but I picked through the bags to find one that had more malted eggs ... which I promptly ate. If you want a full account of them, check out Sera's review at Candy Addict.)
The bulk of the mix seemed to be populated by these friendly fellows: Mellocremes. (Click on the photo for the full shape assortment.)
They're flavored lightly: grape, lemon, lime, strawberry and vanilla. The flavors are light (especially light for a company that built itself on extra flavor). I didn't care for lime at all, but the lemon and strawberry were quite nice. I don't know which color was supposed to be vanilla (maybe there are white ones, I didn't have any in my mix).
This is the Bunny Corn, and it's pretty much the same recipe as the Mellocreme but a different shape. They tend to be a little firmer and as you might guess, they're just like Candy Corn. They're not flavored.
If the Mellocremes in white taste like this, I might be more fond of them. I rather like candy corn, in small doses.
There are only two colors on these, which seemed a little skimpy. Candy Corn usually has three colors (orange, yellow and white). But I guess Bunnies travel light.
The Jelly Belly website calls these Orange Creme Non-Pareil Eggs, which doesn't really sound like much fun. So I'm going to call them Crunchy Gummi Eggs. They're super-cute, with pastel colored crunchy spheres (non-pareils) on the outside and a tangy orange gummi on the inside. They're larger than a jelly bean, about the size of a foil wrapped chocolate egg that you can often find in Easter baskets.
They're much like the Crunchy Bears I reviewed a while back, except these only come in orange, which is fine by me. The gummi is super-soft and the crunchy coating gives it some fun ... it's the crunchiest thing in the bag. Jelly Belly also makes a slightly related product with the Champagne Bubbles and Berries.
There were also some Jelly Belly scattered in, they came in Berry Blue, Cantaloupe, Cotton Candy, Island Punch, Lemon, Lemon Lime, Pi?a Colada, Pink Grapefruit, and looked oh-so-coordinated with everything else. (I picked out all the pink grapefruit while shooting the photos.)
Overall the mix was very pretty, and attractiveness is important with holiday candy. But I wasn't really that keen on some of the elements (the Mellocremes, especially). It was a good introduction to the whole line of Easter treats, so now I know what to buy in a solo bag - the Orange Creme Non-Pareil Eggs. At normal mortal prices of $4.99 a bag, I'm not that wild about the whole shebang (so they get a 6 out of 10) as a sub-$2.50 find, they're a 7 out of 10.

Naked Chocolate Maltballs
This review is less about the malted milk balls and more about gratuitous photos of cross-sections of candy. I couldn't resist.
These malt balls are Maple flavored and from Naked Chocolate in Philadelphia, PA. I don't know that much more about them. In fact, I'm not even sure that they are Maple flavored, there's no label on them that says one way or another, but they taste maple-y (or maybe pecanish?) and that's good enough for me.
They're stunning to look at from the outside. Wonderfully glossy, these milk chocolate covered balls have a secret inside, a second inner shell of dark chocolate. This may be where the flavor is.
The malted center doesn't pack the malty punch that I usually look for, but the woodsy smell and taste along with the crunchy center was pleasant enough for me to eventually eat the whole package.
These orange beauties are Pumpkin Spice. Again, I'm guessing here, because there were no labels. They definitely had a good pack of spice in them, some mellow nutmeg, a little allspice and a light hit of cinnamon & clove (not so much as to bother me).
The orange color took a while getting used to, as did the sweetness of the white chocolate (that looks orange). There were no pumpkin notes, but that's okay with me (I'd already had my fill of Pumpkin KitKats before I got these).
I can't say that I liked these as much as the maple ones, at least that's what the evidence of me still having the Pumpkin ones around and no more Maple says. They do make my desk drawer smell fresh and woodsy. Perhaps it's that the center of the ball isn't malty but more like a graham cracker flavor. Which probably goes with pumpkin spices better but left me wanting my malt fix.
I've seen a lot of different flavored malt balls out there, peanut butter, espresso, toffee crunch, mint ... the list goes on and on. And though some of these iterations are good, they lack the malt delivery that I've come to expect in a sphere of chocolate with a crunchy center. So either I have to adjust my thinking about what I'm about to eat or I need to stop picking these up and hoping to get my malt on. Then they're pretty good.
UPDATE: it looks like these are actually made by Koppers.

When I went to San Francisco earlier this summer I was eager to try out Recchiuti chocolates. They have a lovely little shop in the Ferry Building where all the most expensive and exclusive fresh foods are sold in the city but it was packed so I just looked and figured I'd buy another day (instead I bought some stuff at Miette Patisserie).
This time I went there at lunchtime on a weekday and found things a lot easier to handle. I had a lovely chat with both the women behind the counter (one was wearing devil horns, I'm thinking because I made my purchase on Halloween).
Recchiuti is the concoction of Michael Recchiuti with the tagline on their website of "Indulgence on the verge of Obsession". That sounds just like me! He's been making chocolates since 1997 with special emphasis on flavor combinations and herbal/fruit infusions.
The chocolates are positively lovely. In the store they're laid out on little plates in beds of crushed cocoa beans. The staff was knowledgeable about all the chocolates and helped to guide me towards the ones I knew I'd like.
They sell in two different ways. You can get a gift box with a set number of chocolate pieces in it or you can buy by the pound ($55 a pound). As it was just for me, I didn't need the spiffy box and seeing how the candies varied so much in size, I wanted to be free to choose without worrying about whether one flavor was a better value than another. I ended up with a quarter of a pound, which ended up as a large selection (I got quite a few doubles, so only about 2/3 of my booty is shown here - 22 pieces plus one free taste there on the spot with my purchase).
Cardamom Nougat - a rich chocolate ganache infused with cardamom and studded with honeycomb bits (a hard nougat) and cocoa nibs. One of the nibs was just terrible in the two pieces of this flavor that I ate (it was bitter and acrid) but the rest of it was phenomenal and left a fresh feeling in my mouth.
Star Anise & Pink Peppercorn - the anise zings to the front of the flavors here, then the chocolate comes in then that woodsy note of pink peppercorns without any of the burn. The flavors blend nicely and ended up feeling much lighter than I expected.
Rose Caramel - this is the little foil wrapped one there. The caramel was positively liquid and had a pleasant burnt flavor to it with a slight bitter note and a strong rose geranium scent. The rose and bitterness didn't please me much.
Fleur de Sel Caramel - a great soft and chewy caramel with grains of salt in it. The caramel has a strong bitter and burnt quality to it the salt, of course, is quite strong. I really liked the texture of the soft caramel, but it was just too salty for me.
Honeycomb Malt - the filling is rather like butter with a bit of a grain to it like crystallized honey. The malt flavor is rather mild but the whole thing feels a little greasy and overly sweet.
Bergamot Tea - mellow and zesty with very strong notes of both tea and bergamot. A real favorite of all of them.
Candied Orange Peel - wonderful moist and chewy pieces of orange peel, candied without being sickly sweet.
Cinnamon Malt - very sweet and with a mild cinnamon flavor. Really too sweet for me, a little grainy and not much in the malt arena to compel me.
Mandarin - the smallest of the truffles. I wasn't against buying it because I was paying by the pound instead of the piece. Sweet and dry with a nice zesty taste of fresh orange.
Force Noir - a simple dark truffle. They have another line that's all single origins, but I wanted to try a simple dark truffle. The vanilla notes are very strong, the ganache is light and slightly acidic and super smooth.
Burnt Caramel - oddly, I didn't get much of a difference between this one and the Force Noir.
Lavender Vanilla - mellow and round chocolate flavors with a strong balsam quality with a very noticeable lavender flavor and a honey finish.
Overall the ganache on most of the truffles is a little greasy for my tastes, it's more on the butter side than the chocolate side. It keeps them super smooth and provides a good background for the flavor infusions, but the oiliness of them makes me feel fuller faster.

Head to Head: Milky Way & Mars (Canada & UK)
I'm not quite sure what possessed me to do this array of bars, but here it is. Readers write in and ask what sorts of American candy they should take with them as hostess gifts or ship to friends overseas as quintessential American bars. The Milky Way is right up there, as one of the earliest bars that Mars developed (1923).
It's a bar that I should love, after all, it's supposed to be a malted milkshake in a bar.
There are several iterations of this bar both here and abroad. I got a hold of the American versions of both the milk chocolate and dark versions and the UK Mars (milk chocolate) and Canadian Mars Dark (dark chocolate).
The bar is called Milky Way in the United States but everywhere else on the planet it's known as the Mars. (There was once an American Mars bar, but that's since been renamed Snickers Almond ... there is a bar called Milky Way in the rest of the world too, but that's like the American 3 Musketeers bar.)
I haven't had a Milky Way bar in about 10 years. I've always thought they were too sweet, but after breaking one open the smell of malt was really compelling, making me doubt the wisdon of my embargo. The nougat here is the highlight, a medium color of fluffy, slightly grainy nougat covered with a stripe of caramel and covered in milk chocolate.
The flavors go nicely together and the caramel has a slight salty note to it that balances out the very sweet and only passably smooth chocolate. The malt is earthy and brings flavor to the bar.
The UK bar known as Mars has a similar cocoa colored and grainy, fluffed nougat covered with a stripe of glossy caramel and then milk chocolate. The caramel here was noticeably smoother, but the maltiness was much more subdued and replaced with a milky flavor.
The American bar is on the left and the British on the right. There was a difference in size, the British slightly larger at 62.5 grams over America's 58.1 grams. The UK bar as slightly longer and a little taller.
Recently the standard bars started to appear in darker coats. Back in 1936, based on the success of the Milky Way bar, Mars introduced the Forever Yours bar. It remained in the Mars product line until 1979 when it was discontinued. Customers complained and the Milky Way Dark bar was introduced in 1989 and then the name changed to Milky Way Midnight in 2000.
Milky Way Midnight - beautiful dark bar with little folds of chocolate on the top. The dark chocolate has a little reddish tone to it. Inside is a fluffy white (with a yellow tone) nougat and a stripe of caramel. Smells slightly smoky and very sweet. The caramel dominates in this bar and its sweet stickiness isn't completely offset by the smooth but otherwise flavorless dark chocolate.
Mars Dark - a stunning dark bar with glossy dark brown chocolate. Inside is a fluffy white nougat (with a slight yellow tone) and a stripe of caramel. The nougat on this one seemed slightly grainier but still sweet and only slightly less overwhelmed by the caramel. The chocolate, though pretty still doesn't add much of a flavor counterbalance for the whole bar just a smooth texture.
The wrapper on the Mars Dark bar is a bit of a blunder, if you ask me, as it seems to indicate milk chocolate by its lighter, creamy color over the black package of the Mars bar.
So, you're wondering what the difference is? The American one is on the left and the Canadian on the right. The Canadian bar is larger, by .1 grams. The ingredients list is virtually identical as well. The only difference on the labeling is that the Canadian one lists the true trans fat content at .1 grams (American food does not have to be labeled if it's less than .5 grams).
The important thing to note is that the milk chocolate and dark chocolate versions differ in more than their coats. The nougat is markedly different. The dark bars are missing the malt component, and instead have the vanilla nougat (that's found in the American Snickers Almond bar). The difference between the American and foreign bars isn't that marked and I think that fans should be happy with either when they're traveling. I give all bars a 6 out of 10.
Overall, I wish that the Milky Way Midnight or Mars Dark really was just a dark chocolate version of the Milky Way/Mars bar - I think the combo of dark chocolate and malted goodness would be great. But Mars must not believe that (I'm not sure if the Forever Yours had the malted nougat or not ... honestly I think it's wrong to muck with too many ingredient variations and try to stick the same name on it). I might pick one of these out of a bowl of miniatures, but I'll stick to the See's Awesome Nut & Chew Bar as my favorite nougat candy bar for now.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Whispers
I'm not sure why they call these Whispers. They're crunchy. Maybe it's their delicate taste.
They're just chocolate covered malted milk balls, but for some reason they don't call them that in the UK (then again, we call them Whoppers here as a rather generic term). The other UK malt balls I've had are Malteasers.
I picked them up at Mel & Rose's and hoped they were the best malted milk balls ever made. (A lot of the time I buy stuff hoping it'll be okay. Sometimes I really go to town and wind myself up that I've found the perfect candy to be stranded on an island with.)
Being a Cadbury product I expected some good chocolate. It was okay, the usual sweet and powdered milk tasting stuff but then again malted milk always tastes a bit like powdered milk anyway. The crispy centers were light and had a good hit of malt with a little bit of a dark salt note to it. The proportions were good, there was a nice amount of chocolate, but it wasn't all about the chocolate, the shell was just there to protect the crispy center.
The chocolate wasn't creamy enough for me, it had that shellac shell on it that just made it a little too waxy. If anyone's keeping track, I think the best prepackaged malted milk balls I've tried so far are the Limited Edition Pop'ables ... other than that I like to pick up the bulk ones at the grocery store (Harmony brand).
These were manufactured in South Africa.

Responses to Reader Requests!
There are many wonderful people who write into Candy Blog (either via email or comments) to keep me abreast of what's going on out there in the sweet real world. As I'm mostly a hermit, these tips are invaluable and here are my follow-ups on the most recent tips:
Assorted Fruit Headline
A couple of weeks ago Lesley popped me a comment to say that my dreams of there being a mixed bag of Fruit Heads (Lemonheads, Orangeheads, Grapeheads, Cherryheads & Appleheads) have come true.
I rushed off to the 99 Cent Only Store to find it's true! I haven't opened the bag yet, but I thought I'd share my delight with everyone else. I have no idea when Ferrara Pan decided to make this mixed bag or even if it's because of that review. Yes, you can buy them separately in little boxes, but this is a much better deal.
Also, the bag is plastic, which means that the Fruit Heads are protected from the enemy of sugar candies ... humidity. (Many of you know the disappointment of a box of Lemonheads where the poor spheres are welded to the box and each other.) I should really follow up on my request for Grapefruitheads.
I give these a 9 out of 10! (Yummy)
Pop'ables Chocolate Crisps
Sandy wrote to me earlier this week to tell me that there was a malted milk ball at the Dollar Tree. Well, I don't have a Dollar Tree nearby, but as I was already at the 99 Cent Only Store searching for the Fruit Headline, I caught a huge display of these in the peg bag section: Limited Edition Pop'ables Chocolate Crisps.
I'm not sure why they call them "chocolate crisps" because they're malted milk balls and they're a pretty well known segment of the American candy pantheon. These were ridiculously good and again upset me to an insane degree because they're limited edition. The chocolate is sweet and smooth with a slight coconutty note to it. The crisp center is light and malty with only a hint of sweetness. The packaging is completely uninspired, but I suppose it doesn't matter as it is not only a limited edition item, but Mars has hinted that they're discontinuing the Pop'ables line anyway. These were made in Australia. Super-addictive ... I ate the whole bag at work yesterday.
I give these a 9 out of 10! (Yummy)
Lindt Baking 70% Cocoa Bitter-Sweet Chocolate
While I was poking around in the candy aisle at the 99 Cent Only Store, I also found this little gem: Lindt Baking 70% Cocoa Bitter-Sweet Chocolate.
I've become a recent convert to Lindt via their impulsive truffles and couldn't resist giving this "baking" bar a try to see if it rivaled their regular Lindt Excellence 70% bar that I see for three times the price at Cost Plus. At 3.5 ounces for 99 cents, it's a fabulous deal for high-quality chocolate. They also had a semi-sweet bar that didn't list the cocoa content (but sugar was the first ingredient on the list instead of chocolate).
I was worried that the bar would be past its prime, but it's glossy and dark and with a good snap. Perfectly fresh. Lindt still isn't my favorite chocolate, but at this price, it's hard to buy a Hershey bar. This bar was made in France.
I give this a 7 out of 10! (Worth It)

you can definately get a carputer system for 2K are you looking at building one? such as buying the HD, mobo, ect or a full ouready built system? I too am 17 and getting a car in feb so your not the only young guy here.
I am a 17 year old high school senior and i am getting a 2003 G35 coupe 6 speed MT in march and i was thinking of getting rims for my car as like a graduation present type of thing. Then i was introduced to carputers thanks to a video i didnt mean to watch and i am now in deep thought about getting a carputer for my car instead of rims. Should i invest in a carputer? What should i get (i want everything such as a GPS and mp3 compatability and CD/DVD playback but dont want to spend a fortune)? I am thinking of spending around $2,000...can i get a good carputer for that kind of money and would it be worth it? Thanks in advance!!
you can definately get a carputer system for 2K are you looking at building one? such as buying the HD, mobo, ect or a full ouready built system? I too am 17 and getting a car in feb so your not the only young guy here.
hahah well im glad im not the only young one...but umm im looking for one already built preferably...i was looking at the one that is made for G35's...is that a good one? How much would it cost to install becuase i have no clue and not enough skill to install one by myself?
Well asking if we think they're worth it is kind of a silly question... considering where you're asking it... lol
As for if you can get one for 2g's... I spent less than a thousand on my carPC- but I utilized a broken laptop and some other components.
Just keep in mind that there is a decent amount of work that goes into these projects. I for one wouldn't want to go through and do this kind of work to a $40,000 without a GOOD amount of research or someone with a good deal of experience guiding my hand.
Prefab systems aren't all that involved, and getting one installed isn't any more expensive than getting a new stereo installed.
Thanks for the input Derwood...I understand what ure saying but how much money would it really cost to put it in, like is it that much work where the installation might be more the the carputer itself?
do it yourself man its not very complicated! you have a car manual most likely and it probably has break-down's. Read up in the FAQ's and back posts, go to the work logs at the top right search your car i'm sure there is a build in progress or finished.
It pretty much consists of getting power and routing wires under/around/through area's of your car and little fabrication in your dash.
And you know what i know who you can go to, to get it done Free, can anyone guess?
Thanks man, but i dont know about that...i honostly cant get any of that done by myself...i dont know how to fabricate or run wires, i am car illiterate for now until i start supin up my G35.
well if it will be that hard, go to the off topic section and find a person in your area that has done an install and hook up with him and have him teach you, i know i wouldnt do it free but it will be hella cheaper than having it installed at a shop.
The problem is that i honostly DONT want to have to do this myself because i have been waiting for this car for almost 2 years and i am getting about 15 THOUSAND dollars off of it and its in AMAZING condition and i know that if i was gunna do the wrk then i wouldnt do it right somehow but if anyone knows how much it would cost to do maybe by experience then that would be great info to know...thanks!
As for a hardware solution that makes it easier not to screw up your new car, Go with the infill. It's a double din, all in one, computer.

General Aviation Accident & Pilot Safety
Ask any pilot, safety is top priority when it comes to flying. General aviation accident prevention is the focus of our NTSB Debriefer. Learn keys to being a safe pilot with the articles below.
Tuesday, May 7, 2013
Improving Search And Rescue
Enhanced technology is available, but aviators have been slow to adopt it
As of mid-2012, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Satellite Operations Center in Suitland, Md., had about 355,000 of the newer 406 MHz emergency beacons registered in its SARSAT database.

Counting On The Instructor
How long should an instructor wait before correcting a student's mistake?
A student may show an initial tendency to move the bar in the direction of the desired turn.
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Minimal Experience
What's appropriate in terms of experience may not be found in the FARs
Browse through the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), and you'll see specifications for experience in many areas of piloting.
Tuesday, February 5, 2013
When Close Friends Get Too Close
Don't assume that just because you're friends, you can anticipate what the other pilot will do
One of the great things about aviation is that people are drawn together by this unique avocation as if they were members of a fraternity or sorority.
Tuesday, December 25, 2012
The Reno Accident
Meticulous probing of wreckage led investigators to some tiny screws
The chances are minimal that most pilots will ever find themselves in the same circumstances as did James "Jimmy" Leeward on September 16, 2011.
Tuesday, November 6, 2012
Adequate Airspeed
Fundamental failures by pilots still figure in some accidents
We've just about come to the end of another year in which the NTSB continued to fill its files with accident reports that read suspiciously like many of the thousands it already has on file.
Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Amateur-Built Safety
The NTSB wants more done to improve amateur-built aircraft safety
According to the NTSB, although the approximately 33,000 experimental amateur-built (E-AB) aircraft make up about 10% of the U.S.
Tuesday, September 4, 2012
When Using NEXRAD Can Be Dangerous
The NTSB says don't rely on NEXRAD without having this information
Today, more information than ever before is being made available to pilots, both in printed and electronic formats.
Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Lightning Enlightenment
The NTSB wants the FAA to provide real-time lightning data
On April 13, 2012, United Airlines flight 930, a Boeing 777, took off from San Francisco International Airport en route to London.
Tuesday, July 3, 2012
Sharing The Sky
The birds were using the sky long before we pilots were
Although birds will take evasive action to avoid us, and lights can make us more conspicuous, there are times when their and our best efforts aren't good enough.
Tuesday, June 5, 2012
Do As We Say, Not As We Do
Government advice sometimes is good for everyone, including government
Over the years, you've no doubt heard urgings from various government agencies to always pay careful attention to the weather when you're in flying mode.
Tuesday, May 8, 2012
Helpful Suggestions
When someone makes a suggestion, it might be wise to listen
Aviation seems to promote camaraderie among many of those who relish being part of this unique affinity group.
Tuesday, April 10, 2012
Setting The Selector
In some aircraft, you have to be a contortionist to see where the fuel-tank selector is pointing
If you've flown a variety of aircraft, you know that some designers decided to make it awfully difficult to see for sure which fuel tank or tanks you've selected.
Tuesday, March 6, 2012
Drinking, Driving And Flying
Just the prospect of facing FAA paperwork should make one think twice about misusing alcohol
When FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt resigned after being arrested by police in Fairfax City, Va., on a drunk-driving charge, some of my pilot acquaintances were quick to express astonishment at the irony of Babbitt himself likely having to face the bureaucratic hurdles set up by the FAA for pilots caught drinking and driving who want to continue flying.
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
May I See Your Driver's License?
Data proving you don't need an FAA medical certificate to be safe comes as no surprise to many
Others believe the resources the FAA devotes to medical certification could be put to better use elsewhere.
Tuesday, December 20, 2011
Air Race Accidents
Safety in air racing depends on the airplane as well as the pilot
The death toll quickly rose to 11, including the pilot with about 70 injured.
Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Fire In Front
In a fire scenario, aircraft control can be lost at any moment
According to a search of NTSB data, in 2010, there were only four general aviation fixed-wing accidents investigated that involved in-flight engine compartment fires.
Tuesday, October 4, 2011
Fuel Imbalance
Wing heaviness may be a minor annoyance or a genuine threat to safety
Most pilots know what it feels like when an airplane is wing heavy because there's more fuel on one side than the other.
Tuesday, September 6, 2011
The Ted Stevens Accident
It looks as if we'll never know exactly what happened
The NTSB says cockpit recorders might have helped shed better light on exactly what happened in the accident in which former U.S.

Broken Brakes
There are times when the risk of not stopping should stop you from going
Not too long ago, I was looking forward to an hour or so of poking holes in the sky in a Piper Cherokee 180.

As if keeping myself on a tight budget wasn't hard enough, I've developed this compulsion to check Steam everyday at 6 p.m. GMT to see what the new deals are. Thankfully, I already own one of the games featured in Steam's midweek offers, but if you've been holding off on purchasing Bastion, which is 60% off, or Dustforce, which is reduced by 50%, then now's the time to break out your wallet.
Whilst our own Jim Sterling wasn't totally enamored by Bastion's charms, I felt it was one of the best games I played last year. Jason Carbal certainly enjoyed Dustforce and I've been itching to play it since it came out earlier in the year, even though it looks like another game that will totally show up my lack of platforming skills.
Best of all, both games have excellent soundtracks which you can purchase through Steam as well. Darren Korb's soundtrack for Bastion was once of my favorite albums from last year, and community member Kaggen pointed me in the way of Dustforce's excellent soundtrack via Twitter a few days ago. Both are great candidates for inclusion in a future Note Worthy feature.

As a grown man traveling to my father's funeral with a couple of my uncles, I heard for the first time that my conception was an unwanted pregnancy. Indeed, some years later my older brothers told me that my mother had tried, unsuccessfully, to abort me by riding on a roller coaster. However unwanted, I made my entrance into the world on March 11, 1931, just as the Depression was descending on the country. I was the sixth, and last, child of Peter and Bessie Elkind, who as adolescents had immigrated to the United States to escape the pogroms against Jews in Russia. My father was a machinist and moved to Detroit, where the growing auto industry provided him the best job opportunities.
In Russia my grandfather had owned a tobacco factory, and my father learned his trade working in this factory. Although he had less than a high school education, he was an avid reader and in his younger years was active in the labor movement. My mother was the daughter of a shamus, the caretaker of the shtetl synagogue. Her own mother died when she was quite young, and she took on the responsibility for rearing her younger siblings and thus had little formal schooling. As a child I remember trying to teach my mother to read to prepare her to take the examination required to get her citizenship papers. By then I had become, if not the favorite, at least not the scapegoat or the focus of resentment.
Perhaps because of their own backgrounds, my parents did not venerate education in the way that many Jewish parents did. My father always worked with his hands, and he believed that was the only honorable occupation for a man. Nonetheless, my oldest sister did go to college and got a degree in education. She taught in an early childhood setting for a number of years. Later she went to law school and after graduation edited a prestigious law journal. My two oldest brothers, however, followed in my father's footsteps, and one opened his own machine shop while the other started his own printing business. My younger sister worked as a secretary until her marriage. The brother closest to me did not attend college either but worked as a production manager in an advertising firm before starting his own highly successful packaging and shipping company.
It was not, therefore, an intellectual family, and I never felt any pressure to achieve academically. From my earliest years, however, I was a voracious reader. There were only a limited number of books in our small three-bedroom apart-

LONDON — The Japan Society, founded in 1891, is the oldest organization in Britain concerned with Anglo-Japanese relationships. It grew out of a meeting a decade earlier of the International Congress of Orientalists. In over 90 events each year, and largely through a cluster of groups that focus on different interests, the society develops understanding in Britain of the culture of Japan. Its pamphlet states, "We interpret the word culture as being 'how the other person thinks.' "
The society provides a forum for social and cultural exchange between Japanese living in Britain and their local communities. Its centenary was celebrated impressively throughout this country by the Japan Festival, and its 110th anniversary last year by Japan 2001. A venerable organization, it displays enduring youthfulness and vigor.
This year The Japan Society arranged a dinner in the Lansdowne Club in London to commemorate the hundred years since the signing of the first Anglo-Japanese Alliance. On Jan. 30, 1902, in the Round Room of what was then Lansdowne House, Britain and Japan agreed on an alliance that was to bolster foreign policies through the Russo-Japanese War and World War I. The alliance continued until it was superseded by the Washington Agreement of 1921.
In Japan, a yearlong U.K.-Japan Green Alliance has been launched with its own program to mark the 100th anniversary of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. It intends to plant over 200 British oak trees throughout Japan's 47 prefectures.
Capt. Robert Guy has been executive director of The Japan Society since January 1998. This year he became also executive director of The Hong Kong Association and the Hong Kong Society. These appointments marked departures from his career in the Royal Navy, and opened up for him new and active connections with East Asia.
Capt. Guy joined the Royal Navy in 1966. Six years later he served as aide-de-camp to the governor of Gibraltar. His duties diversified as he went on to command a minesweeper in the Fishery Protection Squadron. After a further seagoing appointment when he was operations officer of a frigate, he was selected to be equerry to the queen. Thereafter he was executive officer of two ships, the first of which was sunk in the Falklands War, and commander of a third. He held several staff appointments in the Ministry of Defense until he resigned from the Royal Navy at the end of 1997. He was then senior directing staff at the Joint Service Defense College at Greenwich.
With a longtime interest in modern history and current affairs, Capt. Guy enthuses over The Japan Society and its involvements and activities. He underlines the society's forward thinking, and the way it "constantly seeks ways to ensuring the relevance, scope and variety of its activities, particularly in view of the fast-evolving nature of U.K.-Japan relations. Most activities provide excellent opportunities for meeting and talking to British and Japanese companies and individuals."
For many years, Capt. Guy represented the navy at polo. He continues to be a countryside enthusiast and sportsman. In his present position, he is proud of an address he found in the archives of the "Transactions and Proceedings of The Japan Society, Vol. 6, 1902-1904." The address was given to the society by Motosada Zumoto, then editor of The Japan Times and a corresponding member of the society. The lecture, in impeccable English, was delivered on Oct. 14, 1902, and is regarded as "memorable in the annals of The Japan Society." Capt. Guy is delighted that, 100 years later, The Japan Times and The Japan Society are still firm friends. This newspaper's chairman and publisher, Toshiaki Ogasawara, is this month attending a dinner in London with the society's business group.

I am 5.5 weeks, and for the last week, I've had pretty severe cramps, a tender abdomen, slight dizziness, and alternating between queasy and ravenous.

LatinaLista — When it comes to certain topics in the Latino community, there are several, to this day, that remain "taboo." In other words, we don't like talking about them because we feel otra gente (other people) will think less of us or we find them too uncomfortable.
The list of issues include: sex, AIDS and, surprisingly, Alzheimer's.
Medical researchers are saying that they expect to see a 600-percent increase in Alzheimer's cases among the Latino population by 2050.
The researchers cite the rise in diabetes, a lack of health care, having a higher percentage of the risk factors for vascular disease (high blood pressure, high cholesterol) and the habit of most families keeping quiet about the disease in a loved one or not recognizing it until it's too late as the major causes for the rise in Alzheimer's in the Latino community.
The really sad thing is that because a person afflicted with Alzheimer's is not a comfortable situation for their friends, the friends stop visiting. As one daughter of an Alzheimer's patient said, "To me, this is the new leprosy, like the leprosy of the 21st Century. People, as soon as they know somebody has Alzheimer's, they stay away."
Yet, researchers are saying that the Latino community's behavior of avoiding the hard issues is what makes early diagnosis so difficult to achieve. It's known that the earlier Alzheimer's is diagnosed, the sooner treatment can begin.
"So what has happened is that the Hispanic community is now eight times more at risk,†Dr. Adrianna Strutt of Baylor Neuropsychology said.
Strutt is trying to turn those numbers around by studying current Alzheimer's tests and coming up with new ones designed specifically for Latinos and Spanish-speakers.
"At least with this research, what we are trying to do is get rid of all those extra factors that could be clouding the results,†Strutt said.
Strutt said traditional tests don't always catch Alzheimer's early enough in the Latino community.
It's yet another example of while we may strive to be a colorblind society, there are some areas where we have to focus on our differences.

Ayaaaaaaaa <3 She was such a wonderful character I really adored her. I had mounds of fun with this piece. I did a dark Aya variation that I will submit tomorrow so watch for that, just in time for halloween! For those of you who don't follow Green Lantern the animated series...go, go forth and do so. Though it should just be named the AYA AND RAZER SHOW. Enjoy!

Oh my god! I miss her so much.... That show was awesome and the fact that the f$&~ing dumb sh$& brains that run Cartoon Network canceled the green lain turn series p!$$ me off! Besides that, you drew her really well! The colors are perfect as well as the lighting you did. One issue I could say I have is I notice the right eyebrow is a bit off. You might want to readjust it a little. and erase a tiny bit of it. The way you drew her facial features, you really captured her... Humanity? Hmmm... I think soul is a better word. You really captured her heart. There we go! Fantastic job on this!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
9 out of 9 deviants thought this was fair.
Aya and Razer show 11/10 would totally watch X3
So beautiful!
Une splendide réalisation et quel regard
This is just a lovely image of my favourite sentient machine :3
I really liked Aya and the show. To bad they cancelled it. It could'Ve easily run for at least 3 seasons.

Good lord, I wish you were selling this as a print or something because this is the kind of piece I would love to have hanging on my bedroom wall. Fantastic work, miss. This deserves to be seen by more people.
Great work.
And now I'm having flashbacks of the series now.

loved the serie! especially Aya and Razer
I forgot how much I miss that show until just now. </3
That's a great piece
Yeah, watched some of that green stuff.
Really hated the cg in there though (not many great points of story either...)
But if the series looked more like THIS! It would be well on its way of surpassing Young Joustice in awesomeness!!

Awesome. Shame they canceled such a great show
This is incredible!!
This show needs, no, deserves more love. Thank you for drawing Aya, I'm sure more people will know about the show now because of you. Overall, uber thanks.
It really did, it was such a fun show. Lovely characters! Oh geesh I hope so haha, we need more GL love around here.
I hope Aya really is alive out there in the universe somewhere.
I really miss her. :,(
She's a smart cookie, I'm sure she managed to store herself into someones space cell phone or something haha.
Aya .
Stupid Cartoon Network for canceling Green Lantern and Young Justice plus whatever is happening with Beware the Bat.
Money talks, sadly the interest for the show came too late. Seems the fans started scooping everything up and pushing ratings right after word of cancellation came out. Wish it had been sooner. Even with the cancellation I think it still managed to end decently, at least, compared to transformers animated. When that ended well...oh god..lol
Haha,YJ and GL:A will always have a place in my heart. Anything that's better than Teen Titans Go!?
I agree.
Awesome stuff, gotta love Aya
Lovely face ) I love her eyes
Awesome work!!!
lLoved her too , great show show it was , it's they cancled this show , great work from u , awesome

LG G2 is powered by the best mobile chipset available, it has a beautiful big screen with almost no bezel to speak of, and it even runs the latest Android version. But that's not what the LG G2 is going to be known for. No, the G2 will be remembered as one of the few devices to bring true hardware innovation for the first time in many years. While most makers just keep on pushing the number of CPU cores or go overboard with screen size, LG takes a fresh approach to how you interact with a big-screen phone in the most natural way. LG G2 LG G2 LG G2 LG G2 official pictures With high-end smartphones going bigger by the day, the hardware design is struggling to keep up and slowly turning into a disadvantage. The lock key at the top of the HTC One is nearly impossible to reach, volume rockers keep switching sides and places until the moment you start guessing instead of knowing what you are clicking on? And this is just the beginning! How about those lockscreens with unlocking routines, which are getting increasingly weirder? We guess we didn't realize how things could've been different until we actually get to see them from a fresh perspective. The LG G2 revolutionizes the Power/Lock key by putting it on the back of the device at the direct disposal of your index finger. You can unlock the screen with just a double tap too. No more finger stretching, using the other hand or doing some magical air gestures. Now that we are done enjoying the new way of making things happen, we should also say a few words about the spectacular hardware the LG G2 is running on. The smartphone uses a brilliant 5.2" IPS+ display with great colors, contrast, viewing angles and very low reflectiveness. The G2 has the most powerful chipset on the market too - the Snapdragon 800 with a quad-core 2.3GHz Krait 400 processor, Adreno 330 graphics and 2GB of RAM. Finally, there is the 13MP camera with optical image stabilizations and full HD videos shot in 60 fps. And these are merely the most obvious things! Here comes the complete list of features. Key features Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support Quad-band 3G with HSPA; Penta-band LTE cat4 5.2" 16M-color 1080p True HD IPS Plus FullHD capacitive touchscreen Corning Gorilla Glass 2 display protection Android OS v4.2.2 Jelly Bean; LG Optimus UI Quad-core 2.26 GHz Krait 400 CPU, 2 GB RAM, Adreno 330 GPU, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset 13 MP autofocus camera with LED flash, geotagging, Intelligent Auto, optical image stabilization, Time catch shot, smart shutter and VR panoramas 1080p video recording @ 60fps with continuous autofocus and stereo sound; HDR mode, Dual recording, optical image stabilization 2.1 MP front-facing camera, 1080p video recording 32GB of built-in storage, 24GB user-available microUSB port, USB host support, USB on-the-go, SlimPort TV-out Bluetooth v4.0 NFC Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct and DLNA GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS Standard 3.5 mm audio jack Stereo FM radio with RDS Voice commands Multi-tasking with mini-apps and optional transparency (QSlide) Accelerometer and proximity sensor Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic Non-replaceable 3000mAh Li-Po battery IR emitter for remote control of home appliances Quick Window cases available at launch Main disadvantages The hardware controls at the back take some time getting used to Below average loudspeaker performance No microSD slot Non-replaceable battery Wow, what a long list of features! And look at those few alleged flaws - we are already quite used to seeing droids launching without an additional memory slot and with the battery sealed in. Somehow, the manufacturers managed to convince us - users - that we don't actually need to worry about replacing the battery. And while that may be ok for some, the 24GB of inbuilt storage is likely to run out at one point on a device that records 1080p videos at 60 fps.

Looking for a company to set us up an new LAMP based server on either Rackspace or Amazon AWS - once it is in place, looking for the same company to manage the security aspects of the machine.

R: The Girl in Black by bchartWatch
©2013-2016 bchart
I don't know what you're talking about losing your powers - maybe the highlights are a little messier than usual (only on one of her sleeves really) but this is one of my favourite drawings from you. The character's face is really pretty and conveys a strong sense of her character. Perhaps working all in black has tired your eyes out a bit, you usually work on more colourful things
Thanks yeah, having to work with the abundance of black really bothered me. Plus I spent a few hours on a first iteration that I got sloppy and careless with, and had to scrap that one because it just suddenly morphed into this awful twisted blob. So I was pretty discouraged when I restarted her and just wanted to finish it.
Anyway, when will we be seeing new works from you?
Dunno man, you still got it. Looks sexy as hell.

Turning the global village toward green ways with organic vessels
It is indeed interesting to see many modern designers and artists bring out the 'recycling' and 'sustainability' theme to the forefront with their works. It once again exemplifies that the most creative and gifted among us are the ones who visualize the way forward, and many of them do seem to see that road ahead as the one filled with eco consciousness. Simone Farresin and Andrea Trimarchi from Studio Formafantasma have crafted utensils that are truly a throwback to the times when things were a lot simpler and probably lives a lot more peaceful.
The line of functional vessels designed by them is dubbed as 'Autarchy' and they are made out of a unique blend that uses 70 percent flour, 20 percent agricultural waste, and 10 percent natural limestone with the colors on top being extracted from vegetables and spices. There is also a coating of natural rubber on top to make them water resistant and they are completely biodegradable. This makes the vessels truly a delight for those who love both the rustic design and the planet friendly make.
The idea of Autarchy is also to create individual social pockets that are self reliant and produce goods using locally available raw materials and yet the final design has a global appeal. The idea of using only locally available elements for production does save on both energy and resources that are otherwise wasted in transport. While most of us will not yet chuck away our kitchen utensils for Autarchy, the idea is well and truly to promote more efficient and smart products that are easy on the planet.

Great rooms, ambiance, safe, good breakfasts. Nice to be out of the center of the city, but close enough to get to for $1.00 on the bus. I loved watching the ships coming in and out, and the sea breezes around the lovely pool. Also enjoyed meeting other travellers and not being isolated as you sometimes are in a Hotel... More

Napili Beach Waves, Maui, Hawaii
16 x 20 inches
oil on canvas
This painting comes from our vacation in Hawaii last year, where we enjoyed some time on Maui as well as Kauai. Napili Bay is a lovely lagoon on West Maui, a little north of Lahaina. It features a beautiful soft sandy beach, tide pools, shallow water for wading and excellent snorkeling. Across the bay you can see the island of Molokai, which I featured in this painting. I'm guessing that this is a popular wedding destination, it's so beautiful.
What attracted me to this scene, other than the gorgeous turquoise water, was the huge thunderhead which was building up over Molokai.

Individuals who "believe in government conspiracies" also framed as violent radicals Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com October 2, 2012 A leaked U.S. Army document obtained by Wired Magazine characterizes people "frustrated with mainstream ideologies" as potential terrorists, while also framing those who "believe in government conspiracies" as violent radicals.
"These are some warning signs that that you have turned into a terrorist who will soon kill your co-workers, according to the U.S. military. You've recently changed your "choices in entertainment." You have "peculiar discussions." You "complain about bias," you're "socially withdrawn" and you're frustrated with "mainstream ideologies,"

Hear Tom Tangney and John Curley every weekday at 9am on KIRO Radio 97.3 FM
Tom & Curley
< Tom and Curley
Foot in mouth: How John Curley offended a big rock band
Last weekend was one of those typical charity auctions 97.3 KIRO FM host John Curley works as an auctioneer. During a break in the action, it didn't take him long to offend the evening's entertainment.
Curley says he didn't know who the band was, until he saw the set list. Among the songs: "Joy to the World," "Mama Told Me Not To Come," and "Shambala."
"And I'm like 'Oh my god! That's every song from my past!'"
The band was Three Dog Night, chart toppers from the 60's and 70's. But rather than compliment them, it was mere moments before Curley managed to offend them.
"I said 'I saw your set list. Does it make you feel sad that you just had to keep playing the same songs over and over again?'"
Rather than tell Curley off, the musician told him the hard truth about why the band is still going after all these years.
"He said 'There's people that work in an office every single day and do the exact same thing over and over, staple stuff and collate and stuff like that.'"
While Curley insisted making art is different than making copies, the guy contended it wasn't.
"We want these movie stars and musicians and stuff not to age but at the same time we don't want them to keep doing the same exact thing. I always find it kind of sad when it's like 'for a limited time only' whatever group it is playing the Emerald Queen Casino," Curley says.
Curley admits he tried sucking up to the guy and making things better by giving him some mumbo-jumbo about sentimentality and all that.
"He's right, because if they got up there and said 'Here's something from our new album,' people would be heading for the doors. And these songs and these albums mean something to everybody that listens to it."
While Curley isn't sure if he made things any better, he at least showed a tiny bit of restraint, (tiny being the operative word.) "I didn't ask him 'Why are you giving wine to a bullfrog?'"

The Sydney University Boat Club was established in 1860. The club, together with the women's rowing club, competes as Sydney University in the Club, State and National Championships and includes members of the Australian squad.
For the past few years Sydney University has been the leading competitive rowing club in New South Wales and one of the leading competitive clubs in Australia . The club has won the Honours Trophy at the NSW Championships for the scoring most points at the championships for the last nine of the last ten years.
The club runs an elite program for men and women currently located at the University of NSW Boatshed on Tarban Creek at Gladesville. Intermediate and Talent ID programs are also provided, and are based at the women's boatshed at Glebe. The club competes in New South Wales Rowing Association Competitions including NSW State Championships in February and Australian Rowing Championships in March. The club also competes in the annual Australian Boat Race against Melbourne University in late October and in the Australian University Championships in September.
Keen to find out more about the Boat club?
Check out the Men's website: www.subc.org.au
or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sydney University Women's Rowing Club was formed in the late 1960s and has produced many champion oarswomen Intervarsity, State, national and International Levels. SUWRC has also produced multiple World Champions and Olympians There is also a strong interclub competition, with SUWRC members competing with success in NSW Rowing regattas.
Currently, our main training venue on Sydney Harbour from the Boathouse at the end of Ferry Road, Glebe. In the near future, our planned new boatshed on the Lane Cove river will be the training hub for both women's and men's rowing.
SUWRC seeks to attract athletic university students to join its elite, development and club level rowing programs. While rowing experience is not necessary, commitment is required as rowing is a year round sport with a large technical element. Additionally, a lot of training is in crew boats.
SUWRC also has a masters (over 27 years) program taking in graduates and staff of the University. A good number of our masters oarswomen rowed with the Club as students and former rowers are always welcome to come back and join us.

September's unemployment figures were not only disappointing -- they were grim. For the 21st straight month, Americans lost jobs. Fifteen million are out of work -- 5 million for more than six months.
But as The Washington Times asserts, "America's jobless crisis is much worse than the 9.8 percent unemployment rate."
The U.S. economy actually lost 785,000 jobs in September, which should have pushed the 9.7 percent August unemployment figure far higher than just 0.1 percent to 9.8 percent.
What kept the increase to 0.1 percent?
Over 800,000 people quit the labor force in September. They packed it in. They stopped looking for work. That is six times the number who quit looking in August and five times the monthly average of those who have given up the search for work in the year since Lehman Brothers died.
Adding to the near 15 million unemployed those who have given up looking for work and those who have taken low-paying part-time jobs, the Times estimates the true employment rate at 17 percent. We used to call that a depression.
Yet, with nearly 25 million Americans unemployed, or no longer looking for work, or in low-wage part-time jobs, 8.5 million U.S. jobs are believed to be held by illegal aliens who broke into the country or overstayed their visas.
Why is this not a matter of national outrage?
For every job opening in the country, there are six unemployed Americans. With this surplus of idle labor and shortage of jobs, the men who do the hiring are in the catbird's seat. They can cut wages in the knowledge that desperate Americans will have to accept what is offered.
Comes the rote response: Immigrants and illegal aliens only take jobs Americans do not want and will not do. But, last month, a front-page article in USA Today demolished that argument.
When a 2006 raid on six Swift & Co. meatpacking plants rounded up 1,200 illegal aliens, 10 percent of the workforce, Swift was up and running at full staff within months. How? Native-born Americans in the hundreds came out and took the jobs.
Says Vanderbilt University Professor Carol Swain, "Whenever there's an immigration raid, you find white, black and legal immigrant labor lining up to do these jobs Americans will supposedly not do."
At one of the Swift plants out West, a workforce that had been 90 percent Hispanic, legal and illegal, before the raids is now a mixture of white Americans and Hispanic-Americans. Illegal aliens lost the jobs, and American citizens got them.
