Western Cape DestinationsMitchells Plain, Cape Flats
Described in a former resident�s own terms, Mitchell�s Plain is a large, sprawling coloured township originally billed, when it was built about 20 years� ago, as the area for coloureds and erected to house the middle income group.
Parts of it quickly deteriorated into little more than �urban ghettoes� - a description so often applied to these ready-made slums erected by former apartheid rulers to separate whites from other race citizens.
Mitchell�s Plain lies about 20 kilometres from the city of Cape Town at the end of a brand new railway line, just west of Langa. Mitchells Plain is one of fifteen areas identified as high priority for action against crime and drug abuse - renowned for its gangsterism and tik addiction amongst its youth. Many families relocated here from District Six when it was razed to the ground, and although violent gangs are a way of life, Mitchell�s Plain in no way resembles the informal settlements that line the N2.
The former government liked to showcase Mitchell�s Plain to overseas visitors � the houses, although dreary, are, by black standards, �middle-class�, and neat rows of houses stretch for miles between wide thoroughfares. A recent FNB Bank survey concluded that for every home put up for sale in Mitchell�s Plain, there are now eight potential buyers. Despite the apparent dreariness of the Cape Flats, space is a commodity!
Today Mitchell�s Plain houses almost a million residents and a diversity of class backgrounds. It is economically divided into east and west - the western half of Westridge, Rocklands and Portlands is wealthier than the eastern half of Tafelsig, Beacon Valley and Eastridge.

Get out of your Chinese food rut
Knowing full-well that Shanghai has around 50,000 restaurants to choose from, many of us still keep going round and round to the same dozen Chinese venues, simply because they're familiar and, well, everyone else is going there. Here are some suggestions for breaking out of your Chinese food rut and trying a few spots that aren't necessarily out of the way, but perhaps are a bit off your habitual restaurant radar -- try these out once and we're betting you'll be back for more.
1. You keep going back to: Bao Luo
Why we love it: This continually packed and battered veteran churns
out the sweet, oily Shanghai classics we know and love in familiar surrounds and a great location.
271 Fumin Lu, near Changle Lu, 富民路271号, 近长乐路
You should try: Rui Fu Yuan
Why your taste buds will thank you: When you look out and see a sea of happy Shanghai families, you know you've come to an authentic spot. The shizitou (lion's head meatballs) are divine here: melting-tender big pork balls in a rich chicken stock. The fried yellow croaker, battered little fish in a crispy tempura-like coating, are crunchy delights. And if you're hankering for a big pork shoulder, Bao Luo style, you can also get your fatty pork here, glistening under a thick, sweetish fulu sauce.
Rui Fu Yuan, 132 Maoming Nan Lu, near Fuxing Zhong Lu 瑞福园, 茂名南路132号乙, 近复兴中路, +86 21 6445 8999
2. You keep going back to: Guyi
Why we love it: Those cumin rubbed ribs, double chili fish head, white tablecloths and a gold mine location.
89 Fumin Lu, near Julu Lu 富民路89号, 近巨鹿路
You should try: South Memory
Why your taste buds will thank you: With 18 locations of this terrific Hunan empire to choose from, there's no need to line up at Fumin Lu. Head instead to South Memory for double chili fish head that will give Guyi's a run for the RMB, equally scrumptious chili coated ribs, and sautéed cabbage (shou si bao cai) that will surprise you with its deep smoky flavor. Plus, you'll get posher surroundings and better service, all at two-thirds the price of Guyi.
South Memory, various locations, 5/F, Grand Gateway, 1 Hongqiao Lu, near Caoxi Bei Lu 望湘园, 虹桥路1号港汇广场5楼, 近漕溪北路, +86 21 6447 8077
3. You keep going back to: Charmant
Why we love it: San bei ji (three cup chicken), minced pork wraps, mango and peanut smoothies sent directly from heaven, and prompt service.
1414 Huaihai Zhong Lu, near Fuxing Lu 淮海中路1414号, 近复兴西路
You should try: Jo Jo Restaurant
Why your taste buds will thank you: One taste of the san bei chicken here, and you realize that most other places in town offer only very poor imitations. This is a luscious, tender, fragrant recipe with big chunks of chicken infused with Thai basil. The beef curry here is so rich and velvety you can practically drink it from your bowl. Although this cozy, light-filled restaurant is located in Hongqiao, it's absolutely worth the trip. And yes, they also have peanut smoothies.
Jo Jo Restaurant, 1480 Hongqiao Lu, near Yan'an Xi L, 祖祖餐厅, 虹桥路1480号, 近延安西路 +86 21 6295 7942
4. You keep going back to: Di Shui Dong
Why we love it: More ribs! This Hunan dive serves up plate after plate of their slide-off-the-bone ribs, ganbian string beans and cheap beer to loads of hungry foreigners.
2/F, 56 Maoming Nan Lu, near Changle L 茂名路56号2楼, 近长乐路
You should try: Shu Fu
Why your taste buds will thank you: If you like spicy lamb and a bustling atmosphere, trade in Di Shui Dong for an elevated experience at busy Sichuan chain Shu Fu, which boasts, among dozens of delectable dishes, 'hand tear lamb', a handsome stack of lamb ribs that is meatier and more tender than any at Di Shui Dong. Shu Fu's terrific service and food have proved so popular, this brand went from one to six branches in around a year.
Shu Fu, 7/F, 299 Nanjing Dong Lu, near Henan Zhong Lu 蜀府, 南京东路299号宏伊广场7楼, 近河南中路,+86 21 3366 5333
5. You keep going back to: Pin Chuan
Why we love it: Owned by the Simply Thai Group, this place
does creative Sichuan with the spice turned down and service just
right, all in a lovely building in the French Concession.
47 Taojiang Lu, near Wulumuqi Lu 桃江路47号,近乌鲁木齐路
You should try: Spice Spirit
Why your taste buds will thank you: If you've already adjusted to the spice level at Pin Chuan, you're probably ready to turn things up. Spice Spirit lives up to its name, with a bevy of ultra-numbing and fiery-hot dishes, all served in an ultra-snazzy dining room. The classic shuizhu nianyu (catfish in chili oil) is particularly tops here, with a nuanced chili sauce and melting-tender fish slices. Also delicious is the beef with Sichuan peppercorn, which will have you sweating, but unable to stop eating these velvety beef slices.
Spice Spirit, 627 Huaihai Zhong Lu, near Sinan Lu 淮海中路627号, 近思南路, +86 21 5306 5777
6. You keep going back to: Din Tai Feng
Why we love it: Perfect xiaolongbao, professional service, and an upscale interior to match.
2/F, South Block Plaza, Lane 123 Xingye Lu, near Madang Lu 新天地南里广场5楼, 兴业路123 弄, 近马当路
You should try: Yuan Yuan
Why your taste buds will thank you: While some of the best xiaolongbao, which can complete with the likes of Din Tai Feng are at street stalls like Fu Chun, this Shanghai institution serves gorgeous soup dumplings in a white-tablecloth dining room with immaculate service. You can also get your clear, savory chicken soup and perfectly sautéed greens, popular items at DTF.

The Quiet Violence of Peter V. Swendsen's Seasons and Weather
"Allusions to Seasons and Weather," from composer Peter V. Swendsen and the Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble, opens with a processed, stuttering tenor recorder emulating a bird call. Live electronics buzz like distant cicadas and a buried sine wave rises and falls, a disorienting change in air pressure.
Swendsen, Associate Professor of Computer and Digital Arts at Oberlin Conservatory, composed the music during a year in residence as a Fulbright Fellow at the Norwegian Center for Technology in Music and the Arts (NoTAM), and each composition is a very literal transcription of place and time. Fragments of traditional Scandinavian folk sounds sift through processed field recordings of church bells and wind. Recorders imitate foghorns and actual recordings of foghorns paired with cello slice through grainy veils of reversed electronics.
The four movements of the title track each represent a different season or place in Norway, beginning with transition of autumn into winter in Oslo and ending in the Lofoten Islands just north of the Arctic Circle. Throughout, the lines of instrument, field recording and electronics are virtually indistinguishable. Is that a distant foghorn, or a reverbed saxophone? A processed recorder, string harmonic or birdsong? Low cello or the distant scrape of wind over ice?
Like the environment that it depicts, the music often gives an initial impression of glacial progression on the verge of stasis. But just as a pause in any natural environment opens a hiker's ears to a seemingly infinite counterpoint of sounds – wind, insects, the creaking of trees or gurgling of water – a close listen to the details of Swendsen's music reveals a shimmering bed of kinetic energy. The starkness of sound gives the illusion of space, but Swendsen slathers every inch of the sonic canvas with quiet layers that together offer a sort of pink noise backdrop to whatever element happens to be taking center stage.
High concept aside, the music's greatest strength here is, well, its musicality. The field recordings and electronics are balanced powerfully with traditional musical elements – harmonic movement, fragmented folk figures, sounds of wind and water that coalesce into hypnotic stretches of rhythmic regularity. The instrumentalists of the Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble manage an on-the-edge-of-your-seat intensity even while sinking into an arctic whiteout or rising tide.
The album is rounded out by three smaller works that similarly investigate the inherent musicality of environmental processes, though somewhat less specifically – the movement of water, the creaking of a tree, the hardening and melting of snow. It's music to get lost inside, a vacant and quietly violent plain mesmerizing in its subtlety.

Citation: Anderson, M.C., Kustas, W.P., Norman, J.M. 2007. Upscaling flux observations from local to continental scales using thermal remote sensing. Agronomy Journal. 99:240-254. Interpretive Summary: To quantify water and energy balance at the field, watershed, and regional scales for operational hydrologic assessments, we need to find reliable means for upscaling discrete (point or transect) measurements made at meteorological flux towers or with flux aircraft to full 2-dimensional coverage over the area of interest. Land-surface modeling based on remote sensing is the obvious means to achieve this kind of upscaling. In this paper, we overview a series of modeling experiments that have successfully bridged this gap between the measurement and application scales. The remote sensing model employed uses ground and satellite data that are commonly available, and is therefore well-suited for routine upscaling. Tower and aircraft flux data from field experiments in Oklahoma and Iowa are compared with flux maps created with the multi-scale ALEXI/DisALEXI modeling system, showing excellent agreement. The paper describes how this modeling system adds crucial spatial context to intensive field experiments, by providing maps of surface conditions at both smaller (e.g., field) and larger (e.g. state-continent) scales. We also explore how pre-campaign flux mapping can be used to optimally configure instrument deployment over the experimental area.
Technical Abstract: A number of recent intensive and extended field campaigns have been devoted to the collection of land-surface fluxes from a variety of platforms, with the purpose of inferring the long-term carbon, water, and energy budgets over large areas (watershed, continental, or global scales). One approach to flux upscaling is to use land-atmosphere-transfer-schemes (LATS) linked to remotely-sensed boundary conditions as an intermediary between the sensor footprint and regional scales. In this capacity, we examine the utility of a multi-scale LATS framework that uses thermal and visible/near infrared remote sensing imagery from multiple satellites to partition surface temperature and fluxes between the soil and canopy. Findings are summarized from upscaling exercises using tower and aircraft flux data collected at three experiment sites in Oklahoma and Iowa, each with a different configuration of instrumentation. Combined, the two flux-monitoring systems were found to be complementary: the towers provided high spatial resolution, time-continuous validation at discrete points within the modeling domain, while with the aircraft data it could be confirmed that the model was reproducing broad spatial patterns observed at specific moments in time. High-resolution flux maps created with the LATS allowed evaluation of differences in footprint associated turbulent, radiative, and conductive flux sensors, which may be contributing to energy budget closure problems observed with eddy correlation systems. The ability to map fluxes at multiple resolutions (1m to 10 km) with a common model framework is beneficial in providing spatial context to an experiment by bracketing the scale of interest. Multi-scale maps can also assist in the experimental design stage, in a priori assessments of sensor representativeness in complex landscapes.

Cheapest price I could find, and fast, free, damage-free shipping too. The item I ordered arrived in perfect shape, just two days after placing my order. The price was about 40% less than the MSRP or highest price at other places online or nearby. Who could ask for more?
Drillspot provided the best price for this item on the net. Their delivery was ahead of schedule and the items arrived in perfect order. I would definitely use Drillspot again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professionally run company with competitive prices.
Have no hesitations on ordering from this seller. The fan was actually broken when I received it, not due to their fault, and the customer service was awesome!! Immediately refunded my money. No hassles. This is the kind of company I love to do business with. Thank you!!
Ordered a Weber Smoky Mountain Smoker on Monday and received it Friday in Ohio. Just wanted to say thanks on the great price and great delivery. Best price on this item anywhere.

Atletico Madrid on Tuesday completed the signing of David Villa from Barcelona. The fee for the 31-year-old Spain striker was just $2.7 million, rising to $6.6 million if Villa sees out the entirety of his three-year contract with Atletico. Should he be sold within that timeframe, Barca would recoup 50 percent of the proceeds.
Atletico Madrid president Enrique
Cerezo believes the deal is a coup for the current Copa del Rey holder. "Many Spanish and foreign teams would have sacrificed a lot to have Villa in their squads and we have paid a very low
price for him, so we're very pleased about that," Cerezo told Radio Nacional de Espana. "The most important factor in the deal was that we have wanted to sign Villa for a long time and that's why
we're so happy. We wanted to sign him when he went to Valencia from Zaragoza, and now he belongs to us."
Villa, Spain's all-time leading scorer, started less than half of
Barca's games last season, scoring ten goals. He will be expected to fill the goal scoring void left by Radamel Falcao's departure for Monaco this summer. Read the original story...

I have to say this is rather odd. I have never seen more than 3 people open carry in my area combined until this week. Saturday I saw 2. Yesterday there was a group all open carrying at a food store ( 5 people obviously together). Today I saw 4 at ace hardware and at least 10 at dicks sporting goods! Seems like open carry is getting very popular with all the anti gun talk.
What shocked me the most is how no one else seemed to notice or make a fuss. I have personally witnessed a guy get embarrassed while shopping by some idiot sheeple yelling " omg he's got a gun!" After getting management and employees All worked up the man simply set his basket down and left. I am glad to see more open carry tolerance around here especially after this mess.

Hey Guys, Back a few days before christmas, my Deville was diagnosed with a cracked block beneath one of the head bolts that screws into the block. After searching and saving I found an engine with 45K miles on it. Went through Dutchers Inc in NY, they have a great BBB rating. This engine has been inside on the shelf since 2000. I finally received the engine today.
My car: 1990 4.5 Sedan Deville (used engine came from a 90 coupe).
Day 1: Removed water pump and cleaned the backing plate as best I could with a rag and degreaser. Step 2 I will use steel wool to brush it totally clean, before I replace with a new gasket and waterpump.
Since I have the engine with NO obstructions, I want to replace anything that could give me issues down the road. Any ideas on what to look for?

Rabbi David Saperstein "As a protest and as an emblem of solidarity" with the people of Darfur
Contact: Kate Bigam or Micaela Hellman-Tincher
202.387.2800 | email@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 18, 2009 - From sundown last night until sundown tonight, 80 rabbis across five countries are participating in a water-only fast to call attention to the lack of aid for victims of the genocide in Darfur. In addition, many others, including cantors and lay leaders, have joined in the fast.
Yesterday afternoon, Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, attended a meeting at the State Department, where U.S. Special Envoy to Sudan Scott Gration expressed his appreciation and encouragement for all those participating in the fast.
Rabbi Saperstein began a three-day, water-only fast on the evening of Monday, June 15th, and invited rabbis of all four major streams of American Judaism (Reform, Reconstructionist, Conservative and Orthodox) to join him for the final stretch of his fast. Participants include rabbis from the United States, Canada, Israel, Mexico and England; a full list is included below.
On April 27th, Rabbi Saperstein was arrested in his third act of civil disobedience calling attention to the situation in Darfur, this time with longtime civil rights activist Rep. John Lewis, other members of Congress and leaders of Darfur advocacy groups. He now joins a long line of politicians, celebrities and activists in carrying on a water-only fast begun that day by actress Mia Farrow to call for the restoration of humanitarian aid to the people of Darfur. On May 9th, Farrows doctor ordered her to end her hunger strike due to serious health risks; since then, others have carried on the fast for her. More information about the chain of fasters can be found at www.fastdarfur.org.
Speaking to the importance of the fast, Rabbi Saperstein issued the following statement: "Activists around the world have committed to continuously pounding the drumbeat for Darfur. U.S. Special Envoy Scott Gration is working hard to negotiate a restoration of the humanitarian aid and to restart a just peace process, and recent reports indicate that he is making progress in his negotiations. Yet negotiations about returning aid groups have not yet achieved real results, so beginning last night, the stomachs of 80 of our Jewish leaders go hungry to draw attention to those dying in Darfur, urging the restoration of aid to the people of Sudan.
"Fasting is a traditional part of Judaism, usually accompanying the memory of a great tragedy or deep repentance. But here we must do a fast as a protest and as an emblem of solidarity with the individuals in the camps, sharing the plight of too many in Darfur - water but too little food. Let us do everything possible to ensure that this will be the last fast necessary to draw attention to the urgent need for both relief and long-lasting peace in Sudan."
It has been more than three months since Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir expelled humanitarian aid groups from the country. Despite assurances that Sudan will allow international NGOs into the country and close existing humanitarian gaps, the situation has worsened. Aid groups report that efforts to send aid to those who need it are unsustainable and insufficient. The onset of the rainy season will likely lead to mass migration and water-borne disease epidemics in internally displaced persons camps, putting, as UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon predicted, more than 1 million people at life-threatening risk.

The water quality of beaches and other swimming locations is monitored to provide the community with accurate information on the cleanliness of the water. This enables individuals to make informed decisions about where and when to swim. Routine assessment also measures the impact of pollution sources, enables the effectiveness of stormwater and wastewater management practices to be assessed, and highlights areas where further work is required.
Swimming sites in NSW are graded as Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor or Very Poor in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council's 2008 Guidelines for Managing Risks in Recreational Waters. These Beach Suitability Grades provide a long term assessment of how suitable a beach is for swimming. The grades are determined from the most recent 100 data water quality results (two to four years' worth of data depending on the sampling frequency) and a risk assessment of potential pollution sources.
A guide on how to read this report is available (SOB2014HowtoRead, PDF 186KB).
A total of 249 swimming locations along the NSW coast were monitored during 2013-2014. The Beach Suitability Grades for these sites are based on data collected over the last two to four years. Rainfall over this period has been diverse, beginning with sustained wet weather conditions and flooding along many areas of the NSW coast, and ending with well below average rainfall across the state and a lack of significant rainfall events.
Rainfall is the major driver of pollution to recreational waters, generating stormwater runoff and triggering discharges from the wastewater treatment and transport systems. Beach Suitability Grades at 29 sites improved this year due to the inclusion of water quality data from the drier 2013-2014 summer period in the assessment. Most improvements were from Good to Very Good grades.

Fifteen years ago, Nathan Hubbard and his band Rockwell Church played Austin's South by Southwest music festival, the gathering of industry insiders and plain ol' fans who meet each year to catch some of the 2,000 bands that descend upon Austin in search of fame and fortune.
On Friday, Hubbard returns to SXSW once again — only this time as Chief Executive Officer of Ticketmaster.
In Austin, Hubbard will face music of a different kind, directed at one of the most loathed companies in America.
Now 35, Hubbard's career has shot up faster than a Vassar Clements fiddle-solo. After graduating from Stanford Business School in 2004, Hubbard worked at Musictoday, then Live Nation, before last year's merger with Ticketmaster.
That combination created a three-headed entertainment colossus made up of an artist management division, run by Irving Azoff, a concert promotion division, Live Nation, run by Michael Rapino (who also is CEO of the Live Nation parent), and a ticketing division, Ticketmaster, which Hubbard now runs.
On paper, Hubbard looks good for the role: he's young, a musician and a Stanford MBA.
Wired.com sat down with him in New York this week, ahead of his appearance at SXSW for a discussion about Ticketmaster, the role of technology in the concert business, and what it means to become what he calls a "life-long fan."
In a wide-ranging and candid interview, Hubbard detailed plans to introduce dynamic pricing, paperless tickets, social media tools, and what he called "the science to set the right ticket price."
Hubbard had harsh words for secondary ticket market StubHub, which he accused of waging a "propaganda war" against Ticketmaster.
Finally, he addressed the sensitive and controversial topic of ticket fees, saying it is "critical" that the industry heed calls by consumers that all fees and charges be displayed "right up front in the buying process."
In contrast to some of the music industry's Baby Boom-era titans — who ran the industry by God-knows-what-logic — Hubbard is among a new generation of entrepreneurs and executives using science and technology to try to transform hidebound companies and industries.
At the center of Hubbard's focus, naturally, is ticket price, and he made it clear that the time has come to move beyond the industry's traditional approach to ticket pricing, which he called "very unsophisticated."
"We price a bunch of inventory below the intersection of supply and demand, and the preponderance of unsold inventory teaches us that we price a lot of inventory above the intersection of supply and demand," Hubbard said. "As a rule in our industry, the good inventory is priced too low and the bad inventory is priced too high."
A typical arena or amphitheater concert has three price points, Hubbard said, in contrast to sporting events, which can have as many as 10 to 15 price points. Heading into the summer tour season, consumers should expect to see significantly more seat price choices for concerts — as many as 8 to 10 — in a move designed to price tickets more efficiently.
Consumers can also expect to see "dynamic pricing," which uses data to calibrate the price of a ticket based on supply and demand, a fairly revolutionary development for the concert industry. Airlines and hotels use dynamic pricing to adjust ticket prices, but Hubbard says Ticketmaster won't go as far as those industries, where prices fluctuate on a minute by minute basis.
Hubbard said that within the next few months, Ticketmaster would roll out "demand forecasting tools that use predictive models to spit out a recommendation for what each seat should be priced at."
Hubbard said the company would be using dynamic pricing on about 50 percent of its amphitheater shows this summer. "In some cases that's going to mean moving inventory across price points as demand ebbs and flows," he said. "We engage more fans through better pricing and we get more butts in the seats."
One of the more controversial initiatives that Hubbard is spearheading is paperless ticketing, which is fiercely opposed by secondary markets like StubHub, for obvious reasons: paperless tickets are non-transferable and cannot be resold, because the buyer has to swipe their credit card at the entrance to the show.
StubHub is so exercised about paperless tickets that it recently sent out an ominous email to all of its customers warning that paperless tickets "could deprive you of your essential rights as a fan." The company urged its customers to join what it calls the "Fan Freedom Project" to protest the injustice of paperless tickets.
Hubbard said StubHub is waging a "propaganda war" based on scare-tactics to try and protect its own interests.
"I am incredibly disappointed in how they are approaching the paperless issue," Hubbard said. "I think it's fan-unfriendly, and I think it works against the interest of the fan. It's just unfortunate that StubHub and some of the scalpers have decided to take the industry backwards with a propaganda campaign."
In a lengthy statement emailed to Wired.com, StubHub spokesman Glenn Lehrman said the company "supports innovation and technology; we are simply opposed to anti-consumer uses of technology."
"We welcome the use of paperless tickets that utilize bar codes and smart phones instead of paper," Lehrman said. "But when new technology is used to solely benefit primary ticketing agencies, venues and owners and harm individual consumers, the public and our legislators should be wary."
"Primary ticketing agencies like Ticketmaster utilize paperless ticketing under the guise that it gives real fans the opportunity to purchase premium, sought-after seats, but that's just putting lipstick on the real problem, which is why aren't those seats available in the first place," Lehrman added. "Unlike StubHub, primary ticketing companies aren't transparent with their inventory. There is no public manifest, and no way of knowing how much inventory is being made available to the public and how much is being held back for the artist, venue, promoter, label, fans clubs, etc."
For his part, Hubbard was emphatic that there is "absolutely a role for a vibrant secondary market." He even cited the example of his father, who is a Washington Redskins season ticket holder, but every year can't go to some night games because they end too late.
Hubbard's enthusiasm for secondary ticket markets shouldn't be surprising, given that Ticketmaster operates its own secondary market, TicketsNow — a StubHub competitor — which Ticketmaster purchased for $265 million in 2008.
"These are not mutually exclusive concepts, the secondary market and paperless ticketing," Hubbard said. "They should co-exist. They need to co-exist."
Hubbard said that at least in the short term the company would pursue a multi-pronged strategy, in which dynamic pricing, paperless tickets, and secondary markets would all play a role.
Looking ahead, Hubbard predicted that eventually the primary and secondary ticket markets would merge, though he said: "I don't think the industry is ready for that yet, but we're building for the day when it will be."
For the moment, Hubbard has more pressing concerns, like addressing widespread consumer confusion and frustration with Ticketmaster's sometime baffling and inexplicable ticket fees.
"We get that fans don't like fees," Hubbard wrote in a follow-up email after the interview. "The reality is that as talent costs have gone up, fees have become an extension of the ticket price, and many parties in the value chain participate in them. While we always tell fans what they will pay, fans tell us that when we show them how much money we are asking them to pay right up front in the buying process, they are more likely to buy a ticket. So that's what we want to do."
"But we cannot do this alone," Hubbard added. "We work for our clients and artists, and need them to buy into this. We have seen some real visionaries willing to take steps in this direction, and we are hopeful that the rest of the industry will follow. It's not just good for us – it is critical for the industry as we try to improve the fan experience with live events across the board."
Despite his emphasis on technology, Hubbard knows that fancy predictive models and paperless tickets alone won't address a larger challenge that faces Ticketmaster: its reputation as one of the most loathed companies in America.
So he's on a mission to re-orient the company's focus to make music fans — and the development of what he calls "life-long" fans — an absolute priority at Ticketmaster. Hubbard says he wants to leverage the combined force of Live Nation's three giant divisions to make that happen.
"You've got to walk the talk," Hubbard said flatly. "Part of the point of the merger was that between our artist management division, our concert promotion division, and our e-commerce division, which is Ticketmaster; when you put those things together, you ought to be able to accelerate the rate of change."
Hubbard talks a good game, and his background lends credibility to his comments. But make no mistake: Hubbard is no longer strumming down-home tunes in warm bars for college kids. His number one responsibility — and fiduciary duty — as the chief of a major division of a $2 billion public company is to the shareholders, who want a return on their investment.
And given Ticketmaster's abysmal track record on fees, transparency, privacy and customer service, it's going to take more than a sweet jam to change the public perception of the ticketing giant.

Auxiliary Audio Input Retrofit (Questions...)
I have a 2004 E46 with Navigation and I'm looking at installing the AUX input retrofit.
I've removed the dash a/c vents and after much searching & unwrapping I've located the plug for which the AUX harness plugs into (I'm yet to buy the harness). It has 3 wires going into a little black plug (which resembles X14118). I can't imagine what else this is for.
My display currently does not display AUX when I cycle through the MODE button on the screen - only CD & Radio. (I have no CD changer so CDC is not present)
My questions:
- Will AUX *only* appear when cycling the MODE when there is a signal on that cable?
- Should AUX be there already if this retrofit is possible?
The reason I ask is because if this is not going to work, I'm not going to bother buying the AUX cable.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Paul Martin
Thanks for the rapid reply!
Do you have AUX as an option when cycling MODE if there is nothing playing on the AUX line - or does it not show in this case?
The reason I ask is because if you look at the install (which requires no recoding apparently), the AUX harness is nothing more than an extension cable with a female 3.5mm socket at the other end. I can't see how the system would see it any differently to how it is seen now... 3 wires with nothing plugged into them.
The actual installation of the wiring is a piece of cake - it's the rest I'm not sure about.
The instructions (in the PDF file linked in my original post) state this in the 'Concluding Work' section.
- Conduct a brief test with DIS/GT1
- Conduct a function test
Could it mean that even though it does not require 'coding' as such, the dealer still needs to 'enable' AUX input on my stereo somehow?
1 Attachment(s)
On closer inspection the harness is not quite JUST an extension cable. At the end of the install document is a circuit which (when I looked at it properly) shows a small resistor in the circuit between the L & R channel wires. That's how it *knows* that the AUX cable is connected!
I decided to test this out. I deliberately shortcircuited the L & R channel wires as they come out of the wiring harness and voila! - AUX now shows up when cycling the MODE button. When I remove the short, AUX disappears!
Now... all I need to do is buy about $3 worth of plugs, wire and the required 300kOhm resistor and I can make my own harness (for about 1/20th of the price of the BMW one!)
Excellent! :thumbup:
I did it!
I bought about $4 worth of gear - wire, plugs & the resistor - and made my own wiring harness for the AUX in - and it WORKS perfectly!!
At first it was very quiet when plugged in, no matter how loud my devices volume was - then I noticed a little P1 in the corner of the screen which shows AUX on it.
When I pressed the buttons (numbered 1-6) beneath the MODE button I found out that this controls the input 'volume' - P6 is the loudest.
Now the AUX volume matches the volume on the other audio sources :)
All the wiring is hidden in the dash and the plug comes out in the glovebox - you wouldn't even know it was there!
Paul Martin
What about the DC blocking caps (.22f) in the schematics? Did you install them? I do not see where you mentioned them. :eeps:
I misread the -//- as 'continuation brackets' to signify a 'long cable' not capacitors (which they clearly are!!). I assume they are 0.22 Faraday capacitors?
The cable works flawlessly - been running it for the past hour to check - all seems well. What would those two capacitors do in that part of the circuit?
I'm very much an novice electrical engineer, but it's not too late to wire them in...
Paul Martin
Congrats Paul.
I've been away so I couldn't reply to your message. I guess you've found your answer and more. Maybe with some more tinkering, you can engineer an "AussieLink" and make some money with it ;) .
I don't think they are 0.22 Farads as those would be huge! As reference, a 1 Farad capacitor would be almost the size of a soda can. I think it's either 22 microFarads or 220 microFarads. Assuming that the line out impedance is 10K ohms, 220uF would be an overkill...heck, even 22uF is an overkill as the 10K, 22uF combo will pass frequencies down to 4.5Hz! But since line out impedance aren't always exactly 10K, the 22uF would be a safe value to use as your blocking caps.
As blocking caps what are they protecting, the stereo or the device plugged into it?
I've just bought some 0.22F capacitors from my local electronics shop (they were 20c each) and they are pretty tiny. I'll post pictures of them (and of the BMW end of the plug) in another post.

OK... Here are the 'parts'
These were all found at my local electronics store (Dick Smith's)
- Stereo Audio Cable (1 metre) (I found a nice round black cable)
- 3.5mm stereo female socket (x1)
- 3 pin plug (see pictures) (x1)
- Resistor 300kOhm (x1)
- Capacitors (I've bought 0.22F ones - yet to be tested) x2
You'll also need some heat shrink & a good soldering iron. The actual assembly is pretty clear looking at the diagrams on the PDF file.
The 3 pin plug fits PERFECTLY into the BMW harness and due to the plastic 'guide' it will only plug in one way. I'm not sure what it is exactly but I found it in the electronics parts section...
1) Remove passenger trim gently (an old credit card is excellent to gently pry out the friction pins - there are 4 of them on this trim)
2) Remove the Trim from above the monitor (should be one remaining friction pin close to steering wheel). This trim 'shares' a friction pin with the passenger trim. There is also a clip (just pull out) above the centre of the screen on this trim piece.
3) Unscrew the 2 screws from the top of the screen which also hold the a/c vents.
4) Pull out the a/c vents (they just go click, click like a ratchit - they push in the same way)
5) You should be able to see the wiring harness
6) The 'female' plug for the AUX input is hidden, wrapped up in that cable fabric. You should be able to 'feel' for it as a lump - carefully unravel it.
7) The wires correspond to L & R channels (Yellow & Green) and Earth (Brown)
8) Make your wiring harness so all the wires are connected to the right bits
9) plug it in and test it
10) You should be able to 'feed' it through to the glovebox via the a/c vent area without even removing the glovebox (but that could make it easier)
You DON'T need to remove the whole monitor at all. I wouldn't bother trying either! It is harder than it looks and you don't want to break it.
I've attached pictures of the process, parts, and finished product!
Hope this helps,
Paul Martin
(yet to put capacitors into the circuit - and reluctant to do so as it is all back together and working well... :eeps: )
4 Attachment(s)
The rest!
You can see the P1 & P6 in the top right corner of the screen to signify the 'input gain' (P6 is louder).
This is done by pressing the numbered buttons beneath the MODE button.
Staring at your picture shows that the capacitors that you bought are only 0.22uF...which is 100 times smaller than my recommended 22uF. This should still work fine as a DC blocking caps, but you're also blocking signals lower than 450Hz (assuming you have a 10K input impedance). So your bass response won't be as good. Also, when you're getting the larger capacitors, try to find some non-polarized ones. Polarized capacitors are a pain to deal with especially if you don't know which DC bias is larger (your stereo or your input device). But there are ways of making polarized capacitors, non-polarized...you'll just need more parts for that.
I wondered why they were so small given that they had 0.22F on the drawer they were in! I'll definitely buy the 0.22uF ones today... and I'll check to see if they are non-polarised caps too!
Thanks for the help!
Paul Martin
PS: and to anyone out there who is going to make this - buy the 0.22uF capacitors and put them in the right spot.
You are very much welcome. This is the kind of ingenuity I would like to see from more people.
Paul, I think you want the larger 22uF (no zero or period in front). But if you want to stick with your original values of 0.22uF, then you already got the right part. From the pictures you've shown, they are indeed 0.22uF - no need to get new 0.22uF caps unless you want to use my suggestion of the larger values (22uF).
I did a little reading around the topic and came up with this formula for the cutoff frequency.
f = 1/(2*pi*R*C)
f - Hz, R - Ohm, C - Farads
If R=100kOhm (apparently typical impedence for AUX audio inputs)
and C=0.22uF
..then the cutoff frequency would be more like 72Hz would it not? If so, that's not really a major problem - I would have been more worried about 450Hz.
Am I right in this thinking?
I'm going to put the capacitors into the circuit this weekend - I'll report back with my 'findings'.
Paul Martin
Yes...you are absolutely right...my bad on the number crunching...it's actually 450 rad/s, which equates to 72Hz. I was off by a factor of 2pi.
Nice Work nitram_luap !
Well... I fixed the cable that I'd created earlier and added the capacitors (0.22uF).
It works extremely well and the sound quality is perfect - deep bass sounds don't appear to be clipped either. :bigpimp:
Not bad for a few bucks!
Thanks for the support and feedback. If anyone wants any help creating this AUX in wiring harness for cars equipped with Nav, let me know - I'll be glad to help (email@example.com)
I'm currently running my MP3 player through my stereo now using the AUX input and it's all hidden away in the glovebox!
Paul Martin
I guess if you are good with this stuff then it makes sense, but this seems like a lot of work for a part I was able to get from my dealer for $25. :dunno: How much are they selling the aux input cable for in Australia?
- The list price for this is about $50 in the USA (this is based on online BMW parts sites) so I can safely double that for here (ie. about $100 AUD)...
- It can't be obtained easily in Australia, nor can they give me a price on it. All they say is that the part number is correct... :confused:
- It wasn't too difficult or time consuming and I enjoyed the challenge
- The fact that BMW charge even $25 USD for a part which would cost less than $2 is insulting. It should be a standard feature given the simplicity.

Citation: Tisserat, B., Reifschneider, L., Grewell, D., Srinivasan, G. 2014. Effect of particle size, coupling agent and DDGS additions on Paulownia wood polypropylene composites. Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites. DOI: 10.1177/0731684414521886. Interpretive Summary: Wood plastic composites are increasingly being utilized as substitutes for pure plastic resins (growing at 13% per annum) because they are less expensive, provide unique physical and mechanical properties and are more environmentally-friendly. However, there is a great need to develop novel and less expensive fillers to blend with plastics to met the future demands of the construction and automotive industries. This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of utilizing "fast growing" Paulownia wood and dried distiller's grain and solubles either solely or in combination with one another as filler materials to be blend with polypropylene. The resultant composites were found to have excellent mechanical properties compared to virgin plastic and suggest that they could be utilized commercially in various applications.
Technical Abstract: The mechanical, flexural, thermal, and physical characteristics of wood plastic composites employing Paulownia wood (PP) flour derived from 36-mo-old trees blended with polypropylene (PP) were analyzed. Composites of 25% and 40% w/w of PW and 0-10% by weight of maleated polypropylene (MAPP) were produced by twin screw compounding and injection molding. Composites containing MAPP had significantly improved tensile and flexural properties compared to neat PP or composites without MAPP. PW particle sizes had a significant influence on the resulting mechanical properties of composites. Combination composites of dried distiller's grain with solubles mixed with PW (up to 40% w/w) were evaluated. Depending on the composite tested soaking composites for 872 hrs may alter some mechanical properties and cause weight gain.

What do you think about this schematic?
This is a sort of clone of my 50W project (wich still isn`t finished due to an extremely empty wallet and other bad excuses).
I just wan`t your opinion, the input is balanced, also the differential input impedance is equal...but I had to implement a DC-servo to surpress a DC-offset wich appeared at the output (for some *strange* reason, or not strange -because of my limited design experience).
I`ve tried lots of different topologies, and this one seemed to have the lowest distortion figures, though the S/N is a bit worse than in the 50W design....but again this simulation numbers.
I probably rely too much on the simulator...
The output power is 180W class AB (100W class A), 8 ohm load.
The outputs are the same as in my 50W design...actually most of the circuit is rather similar, with a few changes...
It`s that balancing issue I`m worried about, mostly because I had to implement a DC-servo.
Damn that picture was blurry!
(I`m also working on a sym-schematic with hawksford cascoded VA-stage and MosFET output`s, but that`s for now. -thanks for the hawksford papers, Andy C)

Crazy biest
Hi Panzer!
You love tough designs right?
As far as I got through this crazy biest, it looks like
both tails of the differential stage should run at a similar
current. Comming from this the basis currents of Q4 and Q5
will be nearly the same. If we now look to Q5, we find a DC path
with low resistance to ground.
The DC path for Q4 has a much higher resistance.
If you run it without DC-servo, then I would expect that the output will show some positive offset in order to deliver enough DC through the feedback resistor.
For proper DC levels without DC servo, I would propose to increase
R43 to the same value as the feedback resistor R41.
And to decrease R40 to the same value as R44.
For which reason did you choose it so unsymmetrical?

I`ve changed the resistor values, the DC-offset is now 40mV, and the input resistance is 1k, a bit low, but my preamp will handle it without any problems...
The reason I chose non-symmetrical is because...well I like it. For the same reasons Per Anders likes symmetrical I guess.
I want to earn more money so I can affort this hobby!!!! Someone please increase my salary

1K input resistance??
1k input resitance?
From my proposal I would have expected around 3.5K Ohms.
Or did you keep it unsymmetrical and simply lowered all values in order
to avoid high DC-drops across the resistors?
Well from theory I would prefer symmetrical values, but in fact
the smashing criteria is to listen to the amp and then decide what
you prefer!
Good luck

If I understand this right, the only frequency compensation you're using is the lead compensation cap in the feedback loop? If this is true, the bandwidth must be very large. How large of a capacitive load can it drive while still maintaining stability?
Also, with the paralleled PNP common emitter amps in the VAS (U14 and U25 I think?) and no emitter degeneration, what happens if two transistors that are otherwise identical, but with Is values that differ by, say, 20% are used? Does the DC current mismatch have any undesirable effects?
One thing I found with common base VAS transistors is when the amp clips, surprisingly large base currents are needed. Without the 47uF capacitors it would easily be enough to turn off the zeners. What happens with low-frequency clipping, say 20 Hz? Do the zeners turn off?
With the wide bandwidth, does the high-frequency grounding of the common base VAS amp affect stability? From what I've seen, electrolytic caps in the neighborhood of 47 uF have around 20-30 nH of inductance, and an ESR of about .25 Ohm. This gives a series resonant frequency of about 150 kHz or so. Will this inductive impedance seen by the base affect the open loop gain/phase in the MHz region?
Regarding the Hawksford cascode, there was a thread started by peufeu in which it was discovered that both it and the "super pair" had a tendency to oscillate (or at least have frequency response peaking or time domain ringing) in the neighborhood of 50-100 MHz. This was verified for the super pair by both peufeu and myself in simulation, and by peufeu on the bench. This seems to be the result of sampling the base current and feeding it back to the emitter. I also observed that the Hawksford cascode had rather poor clipping behavior. There's apparently no way to incorporate a Baker clamp into the Hawksford cascode due to the biasing technique it uses. For a power amp I'm working on, I ended up just using a plain cascode with a Baker clamp and an emitter follower to sink the current of the Baker clamp diode when it turns on.
That's all I can think of at the moment.

Hawksford cascode
What is the idea with Hawksford cascode?
When talking about the Hawksford cascode I can imagine that can oscillate, the Cbc is over collector and emitter of the input transistor an reminds of a typical HF oscillator circuit, I have for long time ago bulit one for around 100 MHz.
I wonder if it could be solved by using a small base resistor to the U21-22, that would decrease somewhat the inherent capacitor effect on the input transistor Q4-5....
Another thing that could help is to keep the input transistor collector resistor very close as well as keeping U21-22 close too to keep copperboard strips and component leggs inductances at a minimum.

I think the idea with the hawksford cascode is to reduce the increasing distortion at higher frequencies.

With a commitment
to help foster the growth of platform tennis, BulletWorks
is sponsoring a publicity contest for
the 2005-2006 Season. All players are welcome to participate. details
From all eligible entries received,
one winner will be chosen at random at the end of the season.
The winner will receive a $3,000 credit to use for court maintenance
or improvement at the public or private platform tennis facility
of his/her choice.
There are many ways to promote platform
tennis. Introducing the sport to a tennis friend is a great idea.
Clinics and tournaments are essential. Junior programs are vital.
Having pros visit schools or town parks with under-utilized facilities
is another great idea. We applaud the organizers of these efforts
and events.
Publicity is another smart way to
promote the sport. Think about how many times you've had
a conversation that ended in "Platform tennis… huh…
I never heard of it…" This is what we at BulletWorks
aim to change. We would like to see articles in every daily, weekly
and monthly regional publication where platform tennis has a following.
We'd love to see some national magazine coverage, as well.
Once people read about the joys of platform tennis, they will
be more inclined to try it for themselves. Many who try it will
like it. Some who like it will eventually want a court of their
own. New interest in the sport ultimately keeps us and our fellow
platform tennis companies in business.
The rules of the contest are simple:
get an article published in a newspaper or magazine. Tell your
kids -- school publications are acceptable. Platform Tennis Magazine
is not eligible. (Preaching to the choir doesn't grow the
sport.) The article needs to be a minimum of five paragraphs long.
It can be about the sport in general, your club, your league,
etc. It needs to be accompanied by a photo to be eligible. The
article should refer to the sport as "platform tennis"
not "paddle." (When trying to build awareness for
anything, consistency is crucial!)
Send a copy of the published piece,
by mail or email to BulletWorks. (Email us good digital photos
as well and we'll post them on our site.)
Everyone who gets an article published
will receive a BulletWorks ballcap. One lucky person will get
the top prize. Submit published pieces to: BulletWorks Platform
Tennis Contest. P.O. Box 58. Belmont, VT 05730 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Deadline for entries is March 1, 2006. Include the publication's
name and circulation; your name, address, phone number, email
address and the facility you would put the prize money towards.
You may submit as many articles as you can get published. The
more you submit, the greater your chances of winning.
For more information, call 802-259-3312.
There are two basic ways to get an
article published: encourage an editor or staff reporter to write
a feature piece or write one yourself.
Local weekly papers – the type
that you rely on for community news and event listings –
often will publish contributed articles. These are usually submitted
in the form of a press release with a photo or two attached.
Large daily papers and glossy magazines
will only publish articles that are professionally written. In
this case, it is best to contact the sports or feature editor
(depending on your angle) or a specific reporter that you think
will take your lead. Write the individual a succinct letter (or
make a phone call) summarizing why you think an article should
be written about your league, your event, your star player, the
growth of the sport in your community… whatever it is that
makes your story newsworthy.
In either case, know the publication,
and suggest a place in the paper where the article makes sense
if appropriate (ie: in your Tuesday "Community News"
Consider backing up the request or
press release with information that will help a reporter write
his/her story. Include "A History of Platform Tennis"
and/or "The Game of Platform Tennis" to give the writer
some background for his/her piece.
Your pitch should have local appeal
(regional publications) or audience appeal (national publications.)
Contacting the right person is essential. Enthusiasm is helpful.
Follow-up is almost always necessary.

Our Conflicts Policy is also available as a PDF: Conflicts Policy.
This requires Adobe Reader, if you do not already have it, download it free from Adobe.
We provide here a summary of the policy we maintain in order to manage conflicts of interest in respect of the duties we owe to our clients. This applies from 1 November 2007.
A conflict of interest can arise between SVS CFDs, our directors and staff and fellow group companies and associates ("us") and you as a client or between your interests and those of another client of ours.
We aim to establish and maintain and operate effective organisational and administrative arrangements with a view to taking all reasonable steps to prevent conflicts of interest from constituting or giving rise to a material risk of damage to the interests of our clients.
Our policy
We aim to keep a record of the kinds of activity we carry on in which a material conflict could arise or has arisen, and, in doing so we take account of the activities of other members of our group of companies. We also maintain procedures to manage actual or potential conflicts. This includes procedures to maintain appropriate independence between members of our staff who are involved in different activities, for example, through the operation of information barriers, physical separation of staff, the segregation of duties and responsibilities and maintenance of a policy of independence which requires our staff, when providing services to a client, to act in the best interests of the client and to disregard any conflicts of interest; and, in some circumstances declining to act for a client or potential client.
Disclosure: general
Where our arrangements to manage conflicts are not or cannot be sufficient to be reasonably confident that risks of damage to a client's interest will be prevented we aim to disclose the general nature and/or sources of conflicts before carrying on business for the client. This is to allow the client to consider whether to ask for more information and whether to continue with the service; we do not aim to provide detailed, highly specific or comprehensive information.
Some of the general sources of conflicts that might arise in the provision of our services are explained in the Customer Agreement.
Gifts and hospitality of conflicts
We do not prohibit our staff from receiving small gifts and minor hospitality from other parties with which we do business but only where in the opinion of a director or senior manager it is at a level that is not lavish or excessive and only where it will not impair our duty to act in the best interests of our clients or other legal or regulatory obligations.

As 2010 begins to wind down, I've already done my fair share of looking back on the year that was in PR. So now it's time to start looking forward to 2011. And with the New Year comes resolutions. I have a lot of things I want to get accomplished in the upcoming year, but I've narrowed my list down to these 7 key resolutions.
After you finish reading my 7 PR resolutions for 2011, leave a comment with some of your top resolutions.
1. Use social media more efficiently. Make no mistake. Social media is a powerful PR tool. It's a great way to connect with industry influencers, reporters, customers, and more. But too many people (myself included) waste time with social media. In 2011, I want to focus more on boosting the ROI of my social media efforts. I want to waste less time and get more results from my social media efforts.
2. Pick up the phone more often. I've become far too reliant on my computer. The truth is that not all emails get answered, and online interaction doesn't always get the results of direct communication. In 2011, I want to pick up the phone more often and make strong verbal pitches.
3. Meet some social media connections in real life. Take a look at your list of Twitter followers or Facebook friends. How many of them do you actually know in real life? I'm not saying you need to have met all of them, but you can greatly bolster the strength of your network if you meet people in real life.
4. Know when to say "no" to clients. I recently talked a bit about making the decision whether or not to take on a new client. It's easy to fall into a trap of doing business with every potential client who comes knocking on your door, but the truth is not every client is worth doing business with. In 2011, I want to do a better job of saying "no" to clients who just aren't worth the time or effort it takes to maintain them.
5. Grow my blog. After years of blogging, it can be difficult to keep growing a blog. I want to keep attracting new readers, gain more subscribers, and blog more frequently.
6. Focus on quality of exposure rather than quantity. Don't get me wrong, getting a lot of media coverage is certainly a good thing. But what's even more important is to get quality media coverage that reaches your target audience. I encourage everyone to focus on the quality of exposure they're getting in 2011 rather than quantity.
7. No boring press releases. Let's face it. Most press releases suck. Companies are just sending them out for the sake of sending them out. They distribute press releases out of habit, not because they have a great story to tell. No more boring press releases in 2011!
What are some of your biggest PR resolutions for 2011? Share them by leaving a comment.

Thank you, Mickie for writing this post…it mirrors my own list of 2011 resolutions and it's a nice nudge to keep going with them. I totally agree that Social Media is a great PR tool for not just the PR professional but for any small business looking to grow their brand and increase relationships. However, it can be all consuming if it's not used strategically and with discipline. For me, the mornings are when I look for useful content to retweet, inspire and educate myself and my clients. I usually rely on my Tweetdeck for thoughtful tweets like yours, spend a few minutes reading the links and posts and then retweet or comment.
I am equally as guilty of relying on email for my primary form of communication and find that the phone call is often what seals the deal and gets my pitch accepted. Will work on picking up that phone more!
I am just getting started on my blog and am very focused on its growth and its usefulness in the world! Reading other blogs like yours only helps me with that one!
Thanks again for a great post!

Citation: Bray, M.S., McFarlin, B.K., Turpin, I., Sailors, M.H., Ellis, K.J., Hoelscher, D.M., Foreyt, J.P., Jackson, A.S. 2007. The Training Intervention and Genetics of Exercise Response (TIGER) study: Exercise intervention in young adults [abstract]. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. 39(5 Suppl):S198. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Among the greatest public health concerns today is the rapid rise in obesity in the pediatric population, which now exceeds 18% in children (6-11 y) and 17% in adolescents (12-19 y), while obesity among young adults (20-39 y) approaches 30%. Given the present trend in increasing prevalence of obesity among young people, it is estimated that the current generation may be the first in history where parents outlive their children. But what if we could deter the expected transition from overweight adolescent to obese adult? What if we could intervene on a young person at a critical time when he/she is beginning to feel empowered by independence? This is the essence of the TIGER Study. The purpose of the TIGER study is to introduce sedentary college-age individuals to regular exercise and to identify genetic factors that influence response to exercise training. Subjects in the study undergo 30 weeks (2 semesters) of exercise training, 3 days per week for 40 minutes at 65-85% of age-predicted maximum heart rate. Measures of body size/composition, heart rate, blood pressure, plasma lipids and glucose, psychosocial factors, and gene variation are performed on all participants at 0, 15, and 30 weeks. A total of 267 males and 517 females participated in the study through 2006. The prevalence of overweight and obesity, respectively, was 48.2% and 22.1% in non-Hispanic whites, 55.1% and 25.8% in Hispanics, 59.2% and 30.6% in non-Hispanic blacks, and 35.8% and 11.3% in Asians. Though the study is not designed for weight loss, more than 41% of subjects lost 2 or more kg, 48% of subjects maintained their weight within 2 kg, and only 18% of subjects gained more than 2 kg. Subjects lost an average of 0.33 kg, decreased resting heart rate by an average of 4.3 bpm, decreased percent fat by an average of 1.24%, and increased estimated VO2max by 3.35 ml.kg-1.min-1 with this minimal intervention. Retention rates within a semester were excellent, ranging from 65 to 82%, but 30-week attrition ranged from 22 to 50% per cohort. While it has recently been documented that individuals entering college gain weight in their initial year and continue to gain weight in subsequent years, we have demonstrated that a minimal exercise intervention during this time can prevent or reverse overweight/obesity in these individuals.

1981 AMC Concorde Limited, 4.2L I6, puke green with a tan vinyl top and tan leather interior
1983 Mercedes Benz 300D Turbo Diesel, 3.0L I5, diamond blue, blue leather
A bit about the 300D - easily the best car I've owned to date. The build quality on this vehicle was outstanding. The 3.0L turbo I5 was strong - I had mine straight piped and it sounded like a Cummins. Ride quality was fantastic. I bought the car with 197K miles on it and sold it when it had 265K miles. Original motor, tranny needed to be replaced at 255K. I miss that car so much, and am casually looking for another one.
Cars that I do have pictures of:

Showing off her impressive acting range, Kristen Stewart is the star of the new trailer for the forthcoming A24 release "Equals."
Also starring Nicholas Hoult, Guy Pearce and Jacki Weaver, the Drake Doremus-directed flick is slated to hit theaters on July 15th.
Proving he has killer acting chops, Robert Pattinson is compelling in the new teaser trailer for the forthcoming flick "The Rover."
The "Twilight Saga: New Moon" star teams with Guy Pearce under the direction of David Michod (he also wrote the script), and the results speak for themselves.
They're both handsome hunks in their own right, and Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce are joining forces for a dystopian futuristic thriller called "The Rover."
And in a first look at the gruesome action, the "Twilight" stud looks a bit roughed up as the "Memento" man threatens him.
Bringing their new work to Tinseltown, the stars of "Lawless" hit the red carpet at ArcLight Cinemas on Wednesday night (August 22) for their film's big west coast premiere.

I agree. My kids will probably end up driving ///M cars, mostly because its what he have now...
They also know, at 10 and 5 (well, the 5yo doesn't get it so much) that cars are not toys, unless they are in the garage and you're playing 'car'. When they're being driven, they are 1+ ton of steel, rubber, and explosive/toxic liquids. They also know that if they abuse the privilege and do stupid stuff, the privilege is gone.
