Yeah I was out their saterday night, pulled up at a light, to left pulled up an 06ish wrb sti, to the right pulls up a 2003 sti conversion wrb again, three wrb's going down the road, was pretty sweet. Also saw a white sti and 2 evos. Nothing happens till 11pm-12am...not worth a race by any means but fun to cruise around.
Im talking about the frazho-12 mile strip in roseville, not sure if you guys are talking about the same part. Woodward and main street are always nice to check out, also downtown mt clemens on wednesday nights have car shows, all kinds, another thing to check out.

you should let me know when u head out to woodward we could meet up and cruise
So I just got myself an '05 WRX that is completely stock other than some speakers that the previous owner changed out. I'm thinking about doing a CAI first but I am looking for suggestions.

Hello all,
I have a Black 08 sti and live in the farmington area.
If your using it as a daily drive i would go with a short ram intake over the CAI. People say that you can get water in your intake mainifold with with on rainy days or driving through deep puddles, however I'm pretty sure that if you drive through water deep enough to suck water in your gonna have other issues as well. However you will need to replace the filter on the CAI alot more often. save your self the hassle and go with a short ram youll have some heat soak issues when starting from a dead stop but as soon as u get moving it will pass.
These are just my thoughts, remeber its your car so do what you want to do with it. I'm putting a CAI on mine here in a bit, but after my sti is no longer a daily driver.

If a passenger in a car is drinking alcohol, but the driver is not, is the driver liable for charges if stopped by police?
Yes. It is illegal for anyone to have an open container of alcohol or to drink alcoholic beverages in a vehicle, and both driver and passengers may be issued a traffic citation. If there is a second offense within one year, the driver's license will be suspended for one year. Any driver under age 21 also faces the loss of driving privileges for one year for the first conviction and revocation of driving privileges for a subsequent conviction.
Passengers on chartered buses used for non-school purposes, or in motor homes, mini motor homes and limousines are exempt.

Product Description
technical comment
- Romanus Weichlein (1652-1706) received his first musical training at the abbey of Lambach and entered the Benedictine Order in 1671. He went to Salzburg to study at the University where he became a doctor of philosophy in 1673. Here he also got acquainted with Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber. Returning to Lambach, he later became chaplain and musical director of the Benedictine convent of Nonnberg in Salzburg.
His oeuvre isn't very large, and it is quite possible that some of it has been lost. What has been left is this collection of sonatas as well as a number of masses. Encaenia Musices contains 12 sonatas for two violins, two violas and bc, with two additional trumpets in the Sonatas I, V and XII.
There are similarities with music by other Austrian composers, like Biber and Schmelzer. Even so Weichlein's sonatas have their very individual traces as well.
"These sonatas by Weichlein are really excellent music, and there is every reason to play them alongside the music of renowned masters of Austrian late 17th-century music. Ars Antiqua Austria has done us a favour by recording this collection." (Musica dei donum)

esh's recommendation
One of the best science fiction shows on TV. Right up there with the first dozen seasons of Stargate SG-1, but Battlestar Galactica is a bit grittier and less frolicky.
My Collections:
sokyuteplusrad's recommendation
Top notch Sci-Fi. High production values, award-worthy writing and acting.
gordon's recommendation
I loved the original Battlestar Galactica but the revised version is even better. Excellent product values, good acting, great plotlines- everything you want. But it is not just mindless entertainment. Instead the new BSG deals with interesting issues of identity, souls, and what is means to be human. Plus there is plenty of human interest side stories to keep everyone happy. Finally, sci-fi that my wife likes to watch as well (that is a true rarity) Get it on DVD and prepare to spend hours fleeing the Cylons
My Collections:
vaguelyweird's recommendation
this isn't your stereotypical science fiction tv show with phasers and spandex and peaceful universal federations. this is a "down to earth" well-acted honest reflection of real-life: politics, humanity, betrayal, survival, issues of race, the war in iraq, even probing what makes us human... currently, the show is in it's stellar third season. a little less funny than the first few seasons of Stargate SG-1 (1-5), but no less quality. and the cylon women are hot!
ragesoss's recommendation
Easily the best science fiction series since Quantum Leap, and probably the best thing going right now period. The show's future is uncertain, but strong DVD sales are bound to weigh in favor of keeping it going.
alesia121's recommendation
Tight writing, great characters, believable world, and more suspense and drama than you could ever ask for.
My Collections:
jacobed's recommendation
Subject matter and sci-fi setting aside, this show, in my opinion, is one of the most well-written and well-acted dramas on television. After you've checked out the miniseries, make sure you have the first season DVD waiting by the TV. You'll want to start watching immediately.
sciencegeek's recommendation
This series works for fans of science fiction and fans of good television. It takes off where Star Trek Next Generation left and brings a less preachy, less moral-laden mix of action and drama. The acting is good, the SGI is good, and the plot arc works. This is one of those series that has innumerable devoted fans who will try to lure you into watching it. Once you watch it you will join this cult-like group and find yourself recruiting your friends to watch it with you.
My Collections:
sketch's recommendation
Ok, I held off watching this tv series because I thought it was too nerdy with the spaceships and such, but after so many recommendations from friends, I gave in. I can't believe what I was missing out! The acting is amazing, the storylines are deep, and the suspense is awesome! There's a lot of drama to this show, and don't understimate the power of this show. It's clearly one of my favorites now!
My Collections:
barabajagal's recommendation
By far, one of the best shows on TV. I hope you're not missing out.

eugenechay's recommendation
Great miniseries. Don't be fooled by the scifi. It's a military drama at its best.

The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
WWF Badd Blood (October 5, 1997)
THE STORY has arrived full circle . . .
In Hell these men must come face to face with their demons.
An unrelenting steel chair shot from special guest referee Shawn Michaels to Undertakers skull cost The Phenom the World Wrestling Federation Championship at the SummerSlam PPV two months prior to the brutal finality of this event. That was the spark that ignited this blood feud.
The chaotic brawl at the Ground Zero PPV was uncontrollable, too many outside parties involved, and thats why these two men are confined to a cell to unleash a vicious onslaught on each other. For Michaels, the match is not just about winning but to survive. For Undertaker, this is his opportunity to make Michaels pay for what he has cost him and take pleasure in showing no mercy as he gains his vengeance. Taker vowed that Shawn Michaels would pay the ultimate price. The cell hovered over the ring like an ominous chain-linked cloud. They were trapped with no escape from pure hell. RECOMPENSE is at hand in Hell in a Cell, not only for the sins of the Heart Break Kid but ultimately for the Deadman as well. No one leaves Hell unscathed including a camera man and the referee.
Taker did not run after Michaels because there was nowhere to go. Undertaker was like imminent death closing in on its victim Shawn Michaels --he can be slowed down but not stopped in this battle, and he is overwhelming. That is how I would describe Undertakers dominance in this match. Enclosed terror personified. Taker methodically, deliberately punished Michaels. Taker made it his mission to make the pain memorable.
Shawn indeed did get his ass handed to him a plenty in this hell, but the man is still the pugnacious and resilient Showstopper and he did not go down without a fight. The match is largely one-sided with Taker punishing Michaels as it should have been. Nevertheless, Michaels capitalized on opportunistic moments to gain the advantage and showcase his destructive nature. So the match not a complete squash. How fitting was it for Shawn it crack a steel chair (the same weapon that caused this hell in the first place) across the spine of Taker to set-up a momentary decisive advantage. Taker getting bashed in the spine with steel steps and especially the piledriver to the stairs was sickening.
Still in the face of so much adversity in this match Michaels took time to show off his arrogance because it the attitude he carries unapologetically. Thats why he assaulted the camera man without a care in the world for his welfare (really a reaction similar to a scared animal backed in a corner), and he will tune up the band to his destroyer if he must.
I LOVE that Undertaker sits up immediately after getting hit with Sweet Chin Music. It is a defining moment for Undertaker because he had entered another (possibly otherworldly) form and at that point he was like a terminator on a mission to end this nuisance once and for all. Undertaker WILL BE DAMNED before he allows Shawn Michaels to put him down again!
The cell is not only used as a thematic device to showcase no escape-no interference but the torturous chain-linked steel was creatively used as a weapon e.g. jumping elbow off the fence, suicide dive into steel, the grating of flesh, etc. The spot when Taker rammed Shawn headfirst into the cage like a javelin is as memorable a spot in HIAC to me as any.
Shawns blade job here is remarkable. His crimson mask is an amazing visual of brutality. The blood flowed from his skull just as Taker had promised. Shawns beating on top of the cell and his fateful descent off the top through the announce table signified his Hell was inescapable in or out of the cell. What a classic moment built up so well to the big execution too with Taker stepping on Shawns hands before crashing down. The spot is fantastic because the bump looks brutal even though it wasnt too complicated or dangerous to perform. Shawns fall took this bloodletting to an immensely climatic level toward an unforgettable finish that brought the story full circle.
Everything was amplified when they re-entered the cell, particularly Takers punishment of Michaels with the super chokeslam and the ULTIMATE PAYBACK spot with the steel chair shot to the skull! A just comeuppance for Shawn Michaels who awakened the beast through his actions with a steel chair. However, Undertaker would also have to pay for his past transgressions and the beast he had awakened too. Indeed Undertaker would be damned before allowing Shawn Michaels to gain another one over him. Damned to hell by the resurrected demon - his brother Kane in the greatest debut of all time.
Kane making his debut is the perfect ending to this saga. It is the perfect ending because Paul Bearer threatened and teased for months that Undertaker's mysterious brother would come back to destroy him, and it is finally here
in Hell
where Undertaker had to face his haunting demon. It could not have been more fitting.
Shawn Michaels crawled out of Hell, drenched in his own blood to slither his way to victory and became #1 Contender for the World Wrestling Championship. How appropriate a reward after everything he cost The Undertaker, and the suffering he had to endure to earn it. The storytelling is absolutely exceptional. The unstoppable and defiant were both devastated by the end of this hellacious war: The legendary story of Hell in a Cell. This match hit so many marks and featured so many elements from a storytelling standpoint that make it a true contender for greatest match of all time.
5 Stars
Awesome review, GOAT match in WWF/E history.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If they pass muster by a sailmaker, then, you might as well keep the sails that came with the boat. 2004 is practically new, and while it's easy to find a light air sail you can yank or patch into some sort of service, a full suit of heavy weather sails is a real boon.
Good luck with it.
My plan is to spend the first cruising season on the west coast (staying south of the Pacific hurricane belt for the summer) and then transiting the cannel. I want to spend the second season in the Caribbean, with its stronger trade winds.
Also, on the Pacific side, my first leg will take me outside of Guadalupe Island to pick up the fairly strong prevailing northwesterly winds. I'll also have to contend with the Gulf of Tehuanapec (southern Mexico) and the Papagallo winds (mostly off Nigeragua).
My last boat was a Mason 33, which was a heavy displacement boat, and it did fine on the Pacific Coast (Southern California and into Baja). The Valiant 42 is a moderate displacement vessel that should perform better in light winds than the Mason.
I've come to the conclusion, after a lot of boat shopping over the last twelve months, that the Valiant 42 is a good compromise that can be expected to do reasonably well in light air, and still be suited for the more challenging parts of the trip.
|We have also had only good results and experiences with our local Quantum loft - from new sail purchases to repairs, canvas work etc.
I also agree the sails sound just fine.. I have been using Quantum as a loft for over 10yrs[since they were founded]. Never had any issues that they did not address. If you are concerned about light air performance then add either a Code '0' or an asymetrical.
On the Moody we have both a 140 and a 110 and now that we are cruising full time the 140 stays in the bag with the 110 rigged. It's a much more versatile sail.
Thanks/Regarding the Condition of the Sails
Thanks for the input.
Regarding the state of the sails, the boat is a 2004 model, and has been lightly used (day sailing, never cruised). The boat is like new, according to Valiant's National Sales Manager, Wally Wells. (It was the show boat for last year's local boat show, so Wally was on it for several days.) The owner loaded it up with a lot of high-quality equipment, and then, due to personal problems, had to put it up for sale. The engine has fewer than 250 hours on it.
I will be sailing it the weekend after next. I would have done so this weekend, but the death of an in-law requires that I be available to go to Southern California for the service.
Thanks again for your reassuring comments.
Quantum is fine, and I concur with the statements made above. I would say that the age and condition should be evaluated by a sailmaker at your expense. Those sound like bullet-proof, all weathers sails, the sort I would pick. But if you envision mostly light air sailing, you either have the wrong sails, or the wrong boat. What you have is an oceanic passagemaker with passagemaker sails. Now, if you can stand doing 4 knots all the way south, there's no problem, and you and the boat can certainly do 7 when the wind pipes up to the point that a lesser, more lightly canvassed boat would be over-pressed. But if you want to make 6 knots in 9 knots of wind, get a J boat.
The Valiant 42 is proven, comfortable in a seaway, and when properly handled, is an excellent choice for a liveaboard. But she's not fast and she's not particularly modern or built like a Beneteau or a bigger Hunter below. The sails aren't really at issue.
|soul searcher
The valiant has a larger fore triangle becaus its rigged as a true cutter the mast is steped further aft in the boat than a boat that is sloop rigged with a removeable inner fore stay. I shopped sails real hard looking for a 110 for my boat last sping and quantum was the what I considered the best of all the different quotes That I got. go to their web sight and read If nothing else its very informative about cloth and constuction techniqes. they are very blunt and not affraid to name names. Like the folks above the condition is more important. Sounds to me that the boat is set up well and if the sails are seviceable and you added a asymetric the boat would be ready for any thing.
|If you're that concerned about light-air performance, shouldn't you be looking at a new NYYC 42 instead of a used Valiant 42? The sails on this boat were customized for the current owner. Based on the remarks, it sounds like he and his sailmaker knew what they wanted and what they were doing. As Giulietta suggests, the condition of the sails should probably be the big concern. It blows hard in SFO, and the current owner might have sailed a LOT. SFO bay isn't really that big. If that's been his main stomping ground, he's made lots and lots of tacks, meaning lots of wear & tear on his sails. A bigger jib is going to be a hassle on this boat, which sounds like it's rigged with a staysail that will already interfere with each tack. For cruising in light air and long tacks, pick up a blooper or reacher - there are plenty around. Quantum would probably be happy to sell you one too, and even with a new light-air reaching sail, it should be cheaper than a NYYC 42.
1) Are you joking??? Quantum is one of the best in the World...just check some of the TP52's, ACC's, Volvo etc... THE BEST...
2) No problems
3) Absolutely not the answer provided was good
If I were in your shoes I'd be asking rather how old are the sails, and how much abuse have they suffered...now that is an important question.
I sail 110% sails by choice, didn't stop me yet!!!
Sails on a Boat That I'm Looking At
Im going out to the west coast the weekend after next to look a late model Valiant 42 that has non-standard-Valiant sails. I asked for more information about them, and the broker replied with the following:
"The local Quantum loft has been making Valiant sails for years; in fact my 1990 Valiant 40 had Quantum sails. There simply isnt a better cruising sail made by anyone (in my opinion) and the owner of [BOAT NAME] had used the best material."
The broker went on to relay the following e-mail from a representative of the local Quantum loft that had supplied the sailes:
"These are all heavily built sails, absolutely top of the line, ready for serious passage sailing with wide seams, triple and quadruple three-throw stitching, extra reinforcing, belting, spectra webbing, night time draft stripes, etc., with hull number and insignia on the main, leech and foot lines, tell tales, sail ties etc. plus specified accessories as indicated.
Main 9.62 Dacron luff 48 x foot 13.58 with four tapered RBS full length epoxy battens, Sailman 4000 receptacles for the inboard end of each full length batten and Dutchman 50-3-B flaking system. Replacement about $5,700
The boat has a very expensive Antal batten traveler system that was sold by Valiant Yachts. The Antal sail hardware (headboard and slides) was supplied to us by Valiant, for installation on the main. We supplied the receptacles for the inboard end of each full length batten, to which Antal batten slides were attached. I cannot tell you how much the customer paid for the Antal hardware. Probably about $4,500.
110% Lp Rollerfurling Genoa 563 sq ft 8.62HA Dacron for use on a Profurl rollerfurling system with #6 foil tape on the luff, Acrilan UV protection leech and foot and foam along the luff for shape preservation when reefed. Replacement about $4,000.
Rollerfurling Staysail 9.62HA Dacron 187.87 sq ft optimized for the staysail triangle to be used on a Profurl system with #6 foil tape and Acrilan UV protection on leech and foot. Replacement about $1,500.
With respect to Genoa size, we make lots of 120's for boats going elsewhere and 110's for a boat home ported on San Francisco Bay. Its a reflection of [DEALERSHIP OWNERS] sail advice to George and I think he's right. Its plenty of area except for very light air when the boat really needs the asymmetrical.
The staysail has a high clew because that's where it has to be to sheet to the staysail track. We always have to leave some room forward on the track to adjust the fairlead when the sail is reefed so the clew has to be high enough to sheet far enough aft on that track to allow the adjustment, like when it is reduced to be used as a true storm jib. Most people don't realize that clew height is really a function of the size of the sail and the location of the track to sheet to.
The 110 is a nice size for the boat because the clew can be high enough for good visibility yet low enough to reach the leech line or re-tie a Genoa sheet. When its fully extended where it sheets to leaves plenty of room for fairlead adjustment forward as the sail is reefed, or to reduce twist when reaching. There is also room for or adjustment aft if there is need to de-power without reducing area.
As you know, the Lp is expressed as a percent of J, the base of the foretriangle. A Valiant 42 has a BIG foretriangle with a big J so a 110% sail is much bigger on a V42 than it would be on another 42ft boat with a shorter J. (V42 J= 19.71 x 110% = 21.68ft.) (Passport 42 J=17ft so 17 x 110% = 18.7ft)
I intend to head south to Mexico and beyond in November. I'm familiar with the conditions as far south as Acapulco, and theres a lot of light air along the way during the cruising season. My questions are:
1) How would you generally rate the quality of Quantum sails?
2) What are your comments on the described sail production techniques and deck equipment?
3) Does anyone have a problem with the smaller 110 genoa for my stated purpose, or does the rep's comment about the larger Valiant foretriangle make sense? (This is one on which I'd love to hear from JeffH.)
You folks will really be helping me with your input' and I appreciate it.

There are now several proposals from private firms to finance, design and build a one-terminal airport. There's also a proposal to build a new airport the conventional way, with city-authorized airport bonds. In any case, the matter will ultimately be in the hands of local voters. What do you expect will be the ultimate outcome? Assuming we need a new airport, which approach--private or conventional---is better? Any chance this doesn't go on the November ballot? If it does not, what are the consequences, if any? If Burns and McDonnell doesn't get the job, should its leadership feel aggrieved? That company spawned the private concept. One poll suggests majority support for a privately backed plan. Do you trust that finding? What are the airlines, especially Southwest, telling officials they want? Is a renovated KCI more desirable than a newer version? Is it an icon worth updating and saving?
The Kansas Legislature recently passed and Governor Brownback signed legislation authorizing about $500 million more to state K-12 schools for the next two years. The authorization follows a ruling by the Kansas Supreme Court that state funding was insufficient and in violation of the Kansas Constitution. Without deciding the constitutionality of the new law, the court has decided to leave schools open and hear oral argument on the bill in July. School district attorneys and officials involved in the case have already announced that the half-billion dollar amount is not enough. Will the court accept this amount and put the school finance issue to rest, at least for now? If the court demands more money, will a special session of the legislature have to be convened and another tax increase considered? The additional school funding comes from an overall retroactive tax increase. Will the new tax levels be sufficient to put not only schools but the state back on firm financial footing? How do Kansas City area districts fare under the new funding distributions? Would it be appropriate for the court to be more specific in its demands about K-12 funding? Do school district officials and their attorneys ever believe funding is high enough? How costly are these protracted school finance cases? Should there be greater constitutionality clarity on school finance? How would that be achieved? There's renewed talk of Governor Brownback exiting before his term expires. Would that be good for the state?
The shooting of Congressman Scalise at a baseball practice in suburban Washington has renewed calls for a more civil tone and debate, especially on political issues. In a column, historian and pundit Victor Davis Hanson warns that the division in this country is reaching levels last seen in 1860 (Civil War era) and 1968 (Vietnam, Civil Rights era). Hanson reminds readers that the U.S. is not immune from failure and collapse and calls for more tolerance of other views from occupants of both "Red and Blue America." This is the column's headline in the Kansas City Star: "Can the divided two Americas survive as a single nation?" What's the answer? How do you assess the political climate? Is it the worst you've ever lived through? What's the cause? Are the cable news networks the catalyst for political angst? Was the Trump campaign (Little Marco. Lyin' Ted, Crooked Hillary.) the beginning of increased and more vitriolic rhetoric? What about Hillary's contribution of "Deplorables?" Until the recent presidential campaign, do you recall representatives of the GOP being called "Nazis" and "Fascists?" Is there more to the divide between Red and Blue America than politics? What about geography? Lifestyle? Morality? Do you fear civil conflict? Hanson mentions states (California and others) defying the federal government on such issues as sanctuary cities and climate control. Do those actions violate the "supremacy clause" of the Constitution, reinforced by the outcome of the Civil War?

Ruckus offers viewpoints on top stories from four different panelists each week. The Ruckettes, who are public newsmakers and officials, provide a diversity of opinion through debate and discussion on issues affecting the Kansas City metro. Moderator Mike Shanin leads this ensemble of conservatives and liberals who provide lively round table talks about issues that face our community today.
Watch Ruckus Thursdays at 7 p.m. Join the conversation at @KCPT by using #RuckusKC and KCPT.
Mike Shanin's been hosting Ruckus since the program's debut in 1995 and in recent years, has also served as Managing Editor. A veteran Kansas City radio broadcaster, Shanin has worked as a talk show host, political analyst, news anchor and in management. Since leaving radio in early 2012, he's done freelance pubic speaking and commercial radio and television projects. A graduate of both Northwest Missouri State University and Park University, Shanin's academic emphasis was on Political Science, Social Science, and Public Administration. He served in the U.S. Army as a Broadcast and Information Specialist between1968 and 1970, stationed initially at Ft. McPherson, GA., and later with the First Infantry Division in Vietnam. @MikeShanin

Agree re Mike. Effete and anachronistic neo-con, who just makes statements without any real evidence or support of his proven-ineffective trickle-down Keynesian economics BS, particularly with regard with the no-way-you-can-argue-otherwise-failure of the Kansas Brownback plan. Been a long time supporter of KCPT, but Mike and this new Ron Freeman guy, who also just says stuff that's just empirically and obviously wrong (which Mike, as the "objective" host, should probably challenge, which he never does), has transformed me from a KCPT apostle into someone who thinks KCPT is just a joke.
Thank you to Woody for pointing out that Kansas City is in the worst financial condition of any city of our size. I wasn't aware of how bad we are doing. What do our city leaders have to say about the city's financial condition And what plans do they have to turn this around?
The panel discussion re: Kansas and the interview with Sam Brownback did not provide ample discussion on both sides – mostly the conservative point of view. In addition, Woody Coward needs a lesson on rural Kansas. Most of rural Kansas is not made up of oil barons. Has he ever travelled to rural Atchison County? I've never seen an oil well in Atchison County or any rural area in NE Kansas. On the subject of rural consolidation of schools, I'd like the panel to talk to high school students who live in the consolidated Prairie Hills School District. Ask how long it takes to drive from the town of Summerfield (west side of the district) to the High School in Sabetha (east side of the district). It's a 1 hour car ride. Not sure how long it would take on a school bus.
Wow, I'm old but darn not as pointless as the last couple of panels on this show….
watching your show,,,,,,and you and your team does not get it. 'uneducated' is not the word to use. non college educated would be a better tag. you 'educated' people sure were not very smart in calling this election. need to take a long look in your mirrors.
I am amazed at how out of touch you and your panelists are with the young, old, black, hispanic, Native American, LGBT, undocumented, and other Americans who are committed to social justice. You condescendingly express your disappointment that the poor little billionaire isn't getting the honeymoon period he so "richly" deserves. Boo Hoo. And people who didn't bother to vote for Donald or Hillary don't have a right to be heard on the issues that impact their lives?
Very little democracy occurs in a presidential election. There is the increasing effect of big money on politics. The media shapes the information the public receives. Even fake news gets higher interest than the real news. Third parties that actually talk about the issues instead of name calling don't have a chance to be heard. If that's democracy, then democracy is just a convenient illusion.
You just have a "feeling" that "these people" are such spoiled brats that they won't listen to anyone, including Obama and Bernie Sanders. You need to check your facts. They are listening to Bernie, and they believe that Bernie has and will listen to them and lead the revolution. If he doesn't, someone else will.
And the panel also has a "feeling" that the demonstrators will inevitably "get violent" and then they will be shamed into silence. I, for one, don't think it's going to play out like that.
The burning question on your lips is "What do they want?" I think I can answer your question.
They want this country to get real about climate change. They want to stop the Dakota Pipeline and all threats to drinking water and the environment. They are not going to sit on their hands and hope for the best.
The revolution will not be televised. When Trump tries to build the wall, we will stand up and stand in the way. When he tries to deport our friends, sisters, mothers, and brothers, we will stand up and stand in the way. When Trump tries to appoint supreme court justices that want to go back in time and make America "great again" by promoting misogymy, racism and greed, we will stand up and stand in the way. He can't drive this country off the cliff unless we let him.
We look to the brave souls standing up and in the way of the Dakota pipeline to show us the way.
Stay tuned. The revolution will not be televised.
I forgot to mention the person who lined up to drink the Trump kool-aid and reported that people protesting against Trump as president had been paid to do so. No one blinked. No one raised an eye brow. Why did the entire panel accept this reality defying explanation? Because Donald said so. Next time I want careful and intelligent analysis of the news, I'll turn on Fox news.
Just watched the 12/15/16 show and have to agree that your current panel is way too far on the conservative side — is that Shannon's intent? To have such bias presented? Mary OHalloran is the only one who represents my point of view, and she got cut off!
Adults and children ARE afraid — not because of the reality of deportation, for instance, but because Trump's hateful rhetoric gave permission to haters and bullies.
I am very angry at Steve whatever his name is for downplaying the culture of fear that is growing — but then, he is an entitled old white man. He also thinks that billionaires can save the US, right.
I would like to comment on the two topics you "discussed" on the last show. I am really tired of people saying that if we don't do X, and foreign terrorist do something here, then we clearly didn't do enough to protect Americans. I think it is clear that the terrorist have us just were they want us, and an attack on our soil will be inconsistent with their strategy. They love it when they claim the high ground, and point to ill-conceived travel bans as just another example of America's crusade against their faith.
The problem with irrational fear is that there is nothing short of total elimination of your perceived enemy that will ever quiet your fear. If the first wall doesn't keep them out, build two walls. If owning one gun doesn't make you feel safe, then buy 20. The same people who believe their collection of assault rifles will keep them safe are the same people who believe that detaining muslim graduate students at the airport will keep them safe. They buy guns by the dozen, but its never enough to satisfy their fear of the non-white, non-Christians they believe are threatening them. Likewise, there can never be enough killing drones, enough death and destruction in the Middle East, or enough bans on Muslims to quiet their fear. This has nothing to do with logic or reality. Its all about irrational fear.
I myself am getting tired of the same drivel that Fox News spews being the basis of Ruckus whether it be the lady from the Sentinel that claims to be unbiased spewing her conservative rhetoric or Mike Shannon's conservative buddies who populate the pane. This program should just have Sean Hannity host it.

Blackall-Tambo council freezes CBD rates
Blackall-Tambo Mayor Barry Muir says it has frozen rates for the central business area to provide relief for struggling businesses.
The annual budget outlines a $15 million capital expenditure and a 3 per cent general rate rise for households but councillor Muir says it kept that rise as low as it could.
Spending in this year's budget include upgrades to the Blackall Airport, $400,000 to install lighting at the Blackall Showgrounds and $300,000 towards a childcare centre.
Cr Muir says the council has recognised the financial pressure many residents face, particularly small business owners.
"We actually froze the rates in the central business area because they're actually doing it fairly tough here - we've had a couple of business close," he said.
"Because the central business area is actually differential rated, even a 3 per cent rise in the business area is quite a fair bit compared to your residential area, so we've tried to give the business houses some general relief."
He says it was a difficult budget this year and several projects, including the airport refuelling facility, had to be put on hold due to the $4 million black hole.
"Flying doctors and planes that land regularly sometimes have to divert elsewhere, fuel up with fuel before they take on their passengers or the casualty here and ... even QantasLink has to divert sometimes if they get headwinds," he said.
"It's not unusual to divert to Emerald and Charleville which means an extra put down which is more cost to them."

Submitted to: Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/18/1999
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Insecticide resistance has been estimated to cost the U.S. $133 million annually and perhaps $1 billion worldwide. The German cockroach has developed resistance to all of the traditional insecticides and cross resistance has been reported among many new insecticides. Elucidation of the biochemical and molecular mechanisms responsible for insecticide resistance in the German cockroach will provide possible methods to preven or delay its development. Scientists at the Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology in Gainesville, Florida, and Michigan State University have identified several key mechanisms responsible for cypermethrin resistance in the German cockroach, including a previously unknown detoxification esterase(s) located in the endoplasmic reticulum. Slower insecticide penetration rate, enhanced detoxification (oxidative and hydrolytic) and a mutation resulting in insecticide insensitivity were also identified. This fundamental information will be used to conduct future studies that may provide a means to detect insecticide resistance in the German cockroach (and possibly other insects) before insecticide treatments are chosen or dispensed or methods to subvert the resistance. This information would allow the most efficacious insecticide to be chosen which would prevent unnecessary insecticide use and minimize the associated risks.
Technical Abstract: The level of resistance to cypermetrin and the mechanisms responsible for the resistance were investigated in a strain (Aves) of German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), collected recently from a Gainesville, Florida, residence. Topical bioassay data revealed that the Aves strain was highly resistant to cypermethrin, exhibiting a resistance ratio of 93-fold which was reduced to 29-fold when cockroaches were pretreated with piperonyl butoxide (a cytochrome P450 inhibitor) and 18-fold when pretreated with S,S,S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate (an esterase inhibitor). The synergist data implicated enhanced oxidative and hydrolytic metabolism as resistance mechanisms in the Aves German cockroach strain. This conclusion was further supported by significantly higher oxidative (2.4- to 4.2-fold) and hydrolytic (1.6- to 3.6-fold) detoxification enzyme activities toward surrogate substrates and significantly higher in vitro [14C]cypermethrin metabolism. Microsomal NADPH-dependent (1.8-fold) and NADPH-independent (2.2-fold) [14C]cypermethrin metabolism were significantly greater in the Aves strain as compared with Orlando. To examine whether target-site insensitivity was a contributing resistance mechanism in the Aves strain, we amplified and sequenced a PCR fragment of 0.9 kb that encodes the IIS4-IIS6 region of the Para sodium channel protein. The G to C mutation at nt 2979 resulting in a leucine to phenylalanine amino acid substitution and shown previously to be associated with knockdown resistance (kdr) was present in the Aves strain. It is concluded that the high level of cypermethrin resistance in the Aves German cockroach strain was due to enhanced oxidative and hydrolytic metabolism of the insecticide, target site insensitivity (kdr) and reducced cuticular penetration.

I'm going to share information with you here that until recently was never before disclosed publicly. In fact, I went out of my way to keep it a secret from all but a few friends.
Four very powerful advisers had, for years, urged me to come forward with the whole story. One told me that I'd be stuck with one foot in "business hell" if I didn't completely release this. I never did . . . until one weekend when I started the blog Your Inner Wizard, which led eventually to my "Wizard" series.
While I've talked about my intuitive work and you may have seen my course, The Wizard's Edge about the Intuitive Click method I teach, the entire story was never fully revealed.
It's now well known that I've taught MD's to movie stars how to use their intuition. Business leaders to homemakers too.
I also taught a course at UCLA's Experimental College on the subject of Your Intuitive Mind. That's where The Wizard's Edge Techniques were first developed.
PLEASE NOTE: For The Next 3 Days Only:
You will find below an astonishing offer for a one-on-one session with me
But Here's The Untold Story
At the age of 22 I began doing "Intuitive Coaching" with an actor I'd just met. It began casually because he, for some reason, asked my opinion about his next career move.
I correctly identified some people around him whom I'd never met, and the advice they were giving him. Somehow I had a feeling about a contract proposal he'd just received on the TV series he was currently starring in.
He said no, that wasn't correct, he'd had no new proposals. But then just such a proposal was presented to him the following day, just as we'd discussed.
We were both shocked at the information that was coming out during our sessions. Me, more than him.
He began making decisions about his career that helped propel him to the top rated show of it's time. "M*A*S*H. His name was McLean Stevenson, aka Col. Henry Blake.
Believe me, I'm not taking any credit for his success. But his agents wanted him to go in other directions, yet the intuitive information didn't agree with them, and neither did McLean. He made his own decisions. I was always surprised when he asked for my "opinions."
While I'd been teaching intuition, I never talked about my own history or how I'd used it. I believe we all have these abilities buried within us, and some of my students were showing awesome results.
I was also a special reporter on "Powers Of The Mind" for KTTV in Los Angeles as well as their other stations throughout the country. But only as a reporter, an "expert" on the subject, not a practitioner.
I also hosted a series of syndicated TV specials where I interviewed scientists to psychics. During a break, one of the psychics looked me in the eye and said, "You can do this too!" The director said that even with my TV makeup, he could see me turning red.
The word-of-mouth began to circulate about my intuitive sessions, especially in Hollywood. Even a well-known casting director, who also begged for anonymity, called on me to help with difficult decisions.
I wasn't even charging for these sessions until finally, I thought that if I did, no one would pay and they'd go away. Yet even more people called, some after midnight from as far away as Europe.
Bruce Willis publicly thanked me as a result of just one session we did together. He included my name in a full page Daily Variety and Hollywood Reporter ad.
It absolutely freaked me out!
I was still in my 20's, and I was overwhelmed with the numbers of people who began calling me, seeking sessions.
I just couldn't handle it. I changed my phone number, instructed my friends to say nothing more about these sessions or their experiences with me to anyone, and to please not discuss it further with me either.
I can't adequately describe the fear and pain I was in. As much as I understood about the innate abilities we all have with our intuition, others couldn't see that. They saw me as something I clearly did not feel.
Being placed on a pedestal is dangerous. It's the most unstable form of architecture there is. One little push and it topples you.
I also didn't understand that the information I was getting was not my responsibility any more than a weather forecaster announcing a tornado warning is responsible for those who choose to ignore it. And, like the weather, things change. Especially in the human being. We have the power of choice and we can choose to change the road we are on at any time.
An Incredible And Mysterious Meeting
At about this same time I met a mentor. This meeting and its aftermath, some of which continues to this day, remains as one of the most mystical and amazing experiences of my life.
She said she trained wizards. But being a wizard was no big deal because we are all wizards if we so declare it.
"A wizard can tap into his/her deepest mind and bring out unknown wisdom and knowledge. We all have hunches and intuitive feelings, but we should use these abilites on purpose."
She also said that it would be a part of my mission, if I agreed.
We all have an inner wizard that can guide us away from danger, toward prosperity, help us make better decisions and become more creative.
We also have an inner idiot. That part that gives into greed, negativity, stupid decisions, and anger.
Which one do you use the most?
From a Wizard Session
After a lot of resistance on my part, then numerous meetings with her and others, she and her husband vanished.
By that time my world was upside down. She had been a great help to my understanding, but I felt undone, especially with her leaving so suddenly.
She said that I might walk away from it all one day. Even forgetting the entire series of events with her until it was time to remember and use it again. She was right. I never discussed this again for years. I literally put it out of my mind.
An Awakening?
Several years ago there was a gradual awakening to the reality of my intuitive work. I opened up over a luncheon with two people I hardly knew. I told them the whole story of my mysterious meetings and several earth shaking stories! They were flabbergasted! So was I. I'd literally emptied my mind about all of this until that afternoon.
While my coaching and corporate consulting always had an element of intuition, though I never identified it as such to my clients.
For example, I was able to pick out a fraudulent VP candidate for a client and warn him, though I had no evidence. Based on his resume it made no sense to either myself or the client, but it was a strong feeling nevertheless and I knew I needed to voice my concerns to him.
The man was hired, but later arrested by the FBI. He was a complete fraud with a phony ID. My client was understandably angry. Why hadn't I given him my source, my data? What could I say? I was too afraid to tell him it was intuition based.
"I know I derived unprecedented intuitive help from the intense
consultations you helped me with. You do have a gift that is intuitive
and surpasses that of other "business consultants, advisors or
coaches." I will support you in your new endeavor in any way
conceivable. You are truly gifted and the world can greatly benefit
from your intuition and astute business advice.
Dr. Maryel Mckinley
Psychic Readings vs Intuitive Coaching
I've met some mysteriously gifted people who call themselves "psychic," and I don't consider myself as such.
It may be a difficult distinction for some, but the intuitive session is a give and take exchange. A psychic session should be such that the subject remains passive, except for their questions (not the psychic's).
How legitimate psychics tune in is a subject for another time.
The Wizard Session is about subtle to hidden information. No doubt, just as in some brief answers to questions on our recent call, information about the subject came into view without prompting that was highly accurate.
My Direction Today
I know we all have a Source, guidance that is as available to us just as a book on a shelf or Google on our computer screens. Whether we use it is up to us.
I finally paid attention to not only some powerful and trusted advisors, but to that Source. The message to me is more distinct and clear than ever before.
So, now you have an overview of the background that has led me to emphasize an important part of my work.
What's A Wizard Coaching Session And How Can It Benefit You?
After you fill out a brief questionnaire. We will concentrate on from one to a few areas that you feel you need help with or are curious about. We'll schedule your session at a mutually agreeable time.
Your session may include areas that I have intimate knowledge of, from marketing to strategy to how to use the power of the Internet better. Or it may just be about your life's work, your challenges and decisions.
A session may aid you in solving or better understanding perplexing business or personal matters, or it could free you from self-imposed conditions that don't serve your best interests.
Business Or Life Coaching – Your Choice
Each session lasts about 1 hour.
Multiple sessions are also available. Please see the schedule below.

Why Did Bruce Willis Thank Tom Justin In A Full Page Ad In Variety?
Feel free to send this page to anyone else who will relate to this:
"Thank You So Much for this Amazing, Intuitive
and Wondeful call !!!!!!!"
You're dead on about me.
Wow! excatly what you are talking with Tracy
RIGHT NOW!! is also directly to me!!! It is so
wonderful listening to you :).
Ewa-Falkenberg Sweden
Wow! That was an amazing call tonight! Thanks
ever so much. All through the call, it was as
if every answer you gave was for me. Even the
woman that you talked to about doing knitting
instead of what she should be doing. I was
knitting as I listened to the call, lol. I sent
my blessing to each person that they have their
desires manifest, I was sending blessings to
It was (the call) very valuable to me.
The points I took away were:
Why is stuck so comfortable?
You DO know your talent if more than one person
has told you. (personal – even if you always
said "no way" I think you are right)
What are you willing to give up for what you
want? And remember to make someone's day with
your positivity and words
You are AWESOME! Thank You for being an example
of living in power.
Love, Suzanne

I hired her as a week of coordinator, but she was always available to be in the months beforehand to answer emails, look at contracts, visit the site, etc. She put in a FULL day on the actual wedding day, never missing a beat...she made the day go perfectly smoothly and my mother and I never had to talk to or worry about a single vendor...I would recommend her to anyone!"

Speaking Silence
The Kingdom of God: Here and Now
Many critics of Christianity portray it as a religion merely of other-worldly transcendence. But as even a cursory glance at the work of thinkers like Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Nicholas of Cusa, or many other thinkers would show, such critics argue against a straw person and feel proud of themselves when that person burns easily.
Unfortunately, though, the critics' naïve understanding of Christianity is one that Christians themselves have not always avoided and have sometimes encouraged. Think of the many 19th- and early 20th-century hymns and folk songs that long for eternity as an escape from this world.
The hymn "In the Sweet By and By" (1868), for example, bids us live in hope of "a dwelling place" in "a land that is fairer than day" and that we can only see from afar. As sweet as much of this music is, it urges on us a world-denying Christianity. It embodies a view that Nietzsche would describe as self-loathing and that merits Joe Hill's parody:
Long-haired preachers come out every night,
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right;
But when asked how 'bout something to eat
They will answer in voices so sweet
You will eat, by and by,
In that glorious land above the sky;
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.
Whatever Jesus' actual message or the content of actual Christian theologies, as Nietzsche and Hill note, Christians have sometimes understood their religion to offer them merely a kingdom beyond this world: "a ladder to heaven" in Nietzsche's terms; "pie in the sky when you die" for Joe Hill.
The kind of Christianity that can be inferred from those kinds of hymns and sermons offers our critics an easy target for criticism, whether naïve or sophisticated. But such targets are not genuinely Christian ones.
Without the Incarnation, Christianity might be a teaching in this world for how to obtain a reward in another world. But as we often fail to remember, with the Incarnation Christianity is explicitly a teaching about and for this world. The paradox of the God-man is the paradox of transcendence in rather than beyond immanence.
The earliest Christian Council (Nicaea, 325) was called, among other reasons, to combat the Gnostic heresy that Christianity is really about some other world rather than this one. The Council was called to make it clear that Jesus was fully human and fully divine rather than "an artful dodger into invisible immanence," to quote Ernst Bloch (Atheism in Christianity: The Religion of the Exodus and the Kingdom, 115).
Those whom we now loosely gather under the name "Gnostics" separated God's kingdom from human temporal existence, conflating the latter with the order of alienation from God. At first glance that sounds similar to Christianity: this is a fallen world in which we find ourselves, at least at first, alienated from God. But Gnostics believed that one cannot overcome the alienation in this world except through asceticism and knowing (gnōsis), which could save the soul but not the irredeemable body. The body, after all, was merely one of the traps of this world and, therefore, something to escape.
Gnostics insisted that the place and order of human existence is the creation of the lowest class of the 365 angelic powers, not the work of the Father. According to them, that angelic power is the God of Judaism, called the demiurge, and is antagonistic to the Father. To rescue us from the demiurge and the world in which he has entrapped us, the Father sent his "Christ-Nous" to appear through Jesus of Nazareth.

#1: Porosity and shrinkage
Is shrinkage related to porosity? My four sisters are all natural and they seem to be amazed by how much shrinkage I have. I can only wear my hair in stretched styles because if I let it dry naturally, it becomes super dry. I think I have high porosity hair. Would sealing help my hair or make it worse?

Well apples are sweet and peaches are good
Rabbits so very very fine
But give me, oh give me
Oh, how I wish you would
Some of that watermelon smiling on the vine
— Watermelon Song, Dave Matthews Band
I know watermelons. I've researched them and eaten about a thousand. When summer is scorching hot and little else tastes good I'm cracking one open – what a sweet sound – and taking in all that ruby, perfumed, black-speckled flesh. It's an orgy for the senses that never gets old.
And that's even before the tasting.
Indeed, nothing quite says summer like watermelon, charmingly called "letters from home" by some Southerners. Nothing quite satisfies like that honey-crisp bite … on a sultry afternoon.
When I was a boy I would, if I had a big enough piece, enjoy carving caverns in the sugary "meat" with my fingers or tongue and, when my mom wasn't looking, lifting it to my lips to sip the pools of pink nectar, producing as evidence a streaked T-shirt and juice running down my neck.
Back then, of course, I didn't know about health stuff. The damned thing was merely scrumptious, and lots of fun to play with.
As it turns out, watermelons are wonderfully healthful. Sure, they are 92 percent water, but they have lots of vitamins A, C, B6 and potassium, contributing to eye health, boosting immunity and, among other things, maintaining nerve function. And did you know they are first for lycopene ? That's the stuff found in tomatoes that us guys are supposed to eat to keep our prostate healthy
Watermelons go way back, 5,000 years, in fact, first popping up in Egypt. Early explorers here used them as canteens. And it's no shock to me that watermelons are the most-consumed melons in the United States, with Florida and Texas turning out the domestic brunt.
Watermelons basically need three things to grow: sun and water, and bees for pollination. They're ready for hand picking in about three months.
By the way, please give me a melon with seeds. Those other ones are a relatively modern creation. And spitting out the seeds is half the fun, right? I just think the old kind taste better. But if you want to know, seedless melons are actually sterile hybrids made by crossing male and female pollen and flowers. Sort of like mules, produced by crossing a horse and donkey.
Let's get back to the tasting. Simple is best, but I also enjoy watermelons in a variety of ways, including cubed on spears, with basil and cherry tomatoes. They also make a nice shake: blend up some melon pieces, non-fat lemon yogurt, strawberries, bananas and voila! A yummy, nutritious potation. Something a bit more, ah, adult? How about a special mojito? Mix a little fresh mint, watermelon puree, cherry syrup, pinch of sugar, lime juice and lots of rum. That's good.
There's more. Weary of the same old salsa? Do something different: melon, green peppers, lime juice, cilantro, green onion and jalepeno. Your friends will be impressed. Watermelon for breakfast? Why not? Make a Watermelon Benedict, subbing the egg, bread and meat for rounds of granola, melon and kiwi. Pressed for time? nothing like greens tossed with watermelon, onion, olive oil and feta. Way good, I'm telling ya.
But first you gotta pick a good one. Go for firmness and symmetry, avoiding cuts, dents or bruises. The melon should be on the heavy side, and its belly a creamy yellow (from where it sat on the ground and sun ripened). Then make sure to wash it before cutting.
And now, how about a joke: A watermelon farmer grew disturbed by some kids who would sneak into his patch for his melons. After some thought, he came up with an idea that he thought would scare the kids away.
He made up a sign and posted it in the field. The next day, the kids show up and see the sign which read, "Warning! One of the watermelons in this field has been injected with cyanide."
The kids ran off, made their own sign and posted it next to the farmer's sign. When the farmer returned, he surveyed the field. No watermelons were missing, but there was a sign next to his. It read: "Now there are two!"
Have a healthful and delicious summer.

What our Customers Say about our Service
"I was very impressed with the service I received!! I wanted a special gift delivered to a special person in Turkey and this was accomplished thanks to all of you! The customer service was very professional and considerate. I was notified of every step and was also able to make substitutions due to delays, which were not due to the company. I don't know of a single other company that takes the time to personally call their customers to be sure a quality product is delivered and picked up in the same condition. Thank you all for your wonderful service :)"

"My son and two granddaughters live in Singapore. My son teaches school there. When he first went there, I sent a "have a great school year" basket. It has become a tradition to do this-over 10 years, now. The place where I usually go to send my son's annual ''have a great school year'' basket, told me they could not do it any more. I was frustrated, to say the least. I don't ''do'' computers-except what I HAVE to. But, I typed in-send a fruit basket to Singapore...this place is what I chose. I am SO glad I did. The communication was pleasant/professional, the basket was sent expediently, and it had all the things that were suggested. My son LOVED his ''have a great school year'' basket. I am extremely pleased with Giftbasketsoverseas, and shall use them again."
Ms. Esther - Conway Arkansas, USA - Aug 13, 2014

Microsoft Introduces Augmented Reality System "MirageTable"

Microsoft's new MirageTable could be a lot like Star Trek's holodeck, which is a simulated reality facility on starships and starbases
(Source: scifiblock.com)
Microsoft' MirageTable
(Source: Microsoft)
A potential use for MirageTable includes new ways to play video games
Microsoft has created an augmented reality system called MirageTable that allows people share a 3D workspace despite being in two separate locations.
MirageTable consists of a curved, white piece of plastic that sits in front of the person using it. A 3D video projector, which is an Acer H5360, beams images onto the plastic while a
Microsoft Kinect
depth camera sensor tracks the movements of each person and object at each end. The entire system is powered by two computers connected by a network.
The users are also required to wear shutter glasses (NVIDIA 3D Vision) while using MirageTable so that they can see the image being projected in 3D.
"In our system, the user can hold a virtual object, move it, or knock it down, since all virtual and real objects participate in a
real-world physics simulation
," said the Microsoft research team. "The unique benefit of this set-up is that two users share not only the 3D image of each other, but also the tabletop task space in front of them."
The researchers have already demonstrated MirageTable in a video online, where two people are in different locations, but use MirageTable to build a design out of blocks with one another.
While MirageTable looks promising, there are still a few bugs to work out. For instance, the system can only capture the front-side of objects, which leads to gaps. It also only allows people to scoop objects from underneath to hold them.
"Simulating realistic grasping behaviours given depth camera input remains an open research problem," said the Microsoft research team. "While we are still very far from an implementation of a working version of Star Trek's Holodeck, MirageTable shows the potential of the projector/depth camera system to simulate such scenarios."
A potential use for MirageTable includes new ways to play video games.

text: Politics 12 February 2007 Wheel-life lessons Observations on speeding Sign up for our weekly email * Does driving make you feel good about yourself? Does it give your life some meaning? Are you exhilarated by speed? Then you may be one of those motorists who use cars - and driving - as emotional props, weapons even. Almost everyone has exceeded the speed limit at some time in their driving career. Many do it routinely. I don't, but one recent Sunday morning I did get caught: I was doing 36 on a deserted road in the East End of London. A few days later a letter came from the police and I was offered a choice: pay the fine, and get three points or - costing marginally more - take a two-and-a-half-hour speed awareness class for £72. It was, as they say, a no-brainer. A few weeks later I reported to the London Speed Awareness Scheme. Our group had one thing in common: we'd been done for driving at 36 or 37mph in a 30mph zone. A computer Q&A assessed each individual's attitude to driving and tested our reactions and abilities to spot hazards on the road. My results said I drove slightly faster than most and had average "hazard perception", but left bigger braking distances and margins for error than is typical. My concentration level was rated "attentive". But my "emotion feedback" told a different story. Apparently my responses to the questionnaire did "not indicate a high level of emotional stability when driving". In severe cases this could make me more likely to be involved in "blameworthy accidents" and more likely to speed. I believe I'm a good driver. I've done an advanced driving course, and I've been on a skid-pan to learn to control a vehicle in adverse conditions. So it was a shock to hear these results. And though it's true I was the only person on the speed awareness course to have undergone any additional training since getting my licence, the point was that if I didn't see the camera, then I might not have seen a child running into the road either. One-third of the more than 3,201 road fatalities in 2005 were the result of speeding. Of the 40 people in our group, no one could remember when they'd last read the Highway Code. Only one person knew all the national speed limits. A man in his sixties from Croydon said he'd only once noticed a national speed-limit sign in his entire driving career. Maybe he never left Croydon. Well, why would you? We were shown pictures of a local road typical of the kind where most of us would have been caught. The pictures had been taken because an eight-year-old boy who had crossed the road on his electric scooter was hit by a car travelling at 39mph in a 30mph zone. We saw the picture of the skid marks and the place where the child landed. He was killed. The boy might have lived had the driver observed the speed limit. "Cretin," I thought, looking at the car - an old Fiat with tinted windows - imagining a cocky 20-year-old listening to hip-hop, fancying himself a good driver, going 3mph faster than me . . .

lucafrancini saidDon't be scared! Just feel the fear and do it anyway!
I'm feeling very fine with cubase 6. So fine that I'm scared to download or buy any update/upgrade
yeah i had those reservations. but i bit the bullet and ran my projects for the last 2 days on 7 and jumped in but everything has responded perfectly. the old crash you sometimes had with 6.5 when exiting cubase seems to have gone.no more hanging when closing down. the mixer is nicely customisable for all needs so i have spent time configuring how i need to see it and use it for varied applications. If anything crops up in the next few weeks that makes me cautious, i can always boot up 6.5 as this version much like 5 and 6, is a new install, so its seperate to any previous installation.
if your worried you can dive back into 6 – 6.5 etc. Their are so many new additions to this version im having fun working my way through them. so far i have written 4 cues on it , mixed and rendered off 12 cues worth of stems and alternate mixes for tv. all is well so far (touch wood)!!!
And don't forget kids, backup your projects!

Good advice! I've gotten so used to doing cmd+alt+save to save as a new version every so often, as Cubase used to crash constantly on the PC. But it's barely crashed at all since I switched to a mac, one of the many reasons I'm glad I switched to a MacBook

That's whay i sell high Quality super PC, the don't Crash either. That's a bit the Problem with Windows pc, there is a lot of scrap on the market, but of course some cvery stable too! Mine works like a clock… i even iused Cubase in a live band as a 26 channel in-ear Matrix & HD recorder. Not one crash in 6 years (running win xp)! Sometimes the entire day outdoor open air, all bad circumstances and rough stage use, 8 people simultanous remote controlling it over midi, 24 track recording, 0.7ms latency and not one crash in those years – what else do i need! Really happy with cuwin! Everything is possible, even on Windows
Thanks for the heads up Andy, looks really good, getting the upgrade!
I've had a play around with the new VariAudio's harmonising abilities. It's not very intuitive, in fact if it weren't for this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTn0LLmVFzY) I'm not sure I would have ever managed to do it.
Disappointingly the actual pitch shifting still has that metallic sound the old/cheap algorithms had. I'm hoping there is a way to pre-process pitch shifting instead of using a real time algorithm, as that should give it a more natural sound, but I haven't found that option yet at this point, it's not really living up to Melodyne.
