Re: Need someone to join me on a BVI charter in Feb or March
To go any further we really need to talk, or email privately. If you are serious, send me your email and/or phone contact info. I can't send you a PM on this site, so here's an email address that I don't mind displaying here, since it's one I rarely use "buy_down at verizon dot net"
By the way, I'm not just from MI, I spent many years in Ann Arbor at THE University. On the other hand, the finest boat I ever owned was built in Fairport Harbor, OH.
It would be great to make this work for both of us.
Thanks for the reply,
Re: Need someone to join me on a BVI charter in Feb or March
Ahoy Capn
My wife and I could be interested depending cost, time, etc.
We are noobs, having sailed Lake Erie for the past 3 years aboard our Catalina 30. We have much to learn and would consider this as you put it, an excellent learning opportunity. We are both in our 50's, non-smokers and strictly adhere to the no drinking while underway policy. Oh yeah, my wife is also a Wolverine!
Re: Need someone to join me on a BVI charter in Feb or March
I'm still looking for one or more charter mate(s) to join me on a nice monohull for a happy week or ten days in the BVI or other islands in Feb or March.
Share everything fairly. No rigid rules other than smoke-free, and no alcohol while the boat is underway. Anyone frozen enough by the Polar Vortex to take a chance on 85 degrees and 15-22 knots?
We can work out the details by phone and Internet, then seal the deal upon arrival with a pitcher of painkillers! I'll bring my Jimmy Buffett and Bob Marley CDs.
Re: Need someone to join me on a BVI charter in Feb or March
You might try and solicit others on traveltalkonline dot com forums as well. Enjoy your trip.
Re: Need someone to join me on a BVI charter in Feb or March
Another interesting fact... Our charters are about 10 days ... Over the years the price per person has hardly changed. We drive to Boston, stay overnight, fly to St Thomas and ferry to Soper's Hole west end Tortola. Pick up boat ... Food ,booze etc .....sail for 10 days and return home same as going down
The cost has ALWAYS been approx. 2000 per person ALL INCLUSIVE while on the boat... Only extras is off the boat.
Re: Need someone to join me on a BVI charter in Feb or March
I've been chartering in the BVI for over 12years. I do a 44 and 50 foot cats ..we have always had four couples total and ALL fees are split per person....
Works easy peezy
PS... New rib place on Virgin Gorda.. Hog Heaven... Not to be missed for the food .... Good people that run it ...and the most awesome views in the islands... It's in North Sound high on the hill above Liverick Bay Resort
Re: Need someone to join me on a BVI charter in Feb or March
If you are an experienced charterer, please excuse my comments below, which might be helpful to a newbie. Prices are based on boat size, type, location, length of charter, extra options, and timing, so we'd have to generally agree on specifics first.
BTW, I'm a monohull sailor - I don't want to sail on a cat. If that's a deal breaker, then thanks for your interest.
Other than that, yacht size would depend on the number of crew and relationships to determine how many cabins we'd need -- 2, 3, or 4. For example, A seven day charter of a Beneteau 393 with 3 cabins and 2 heads in the BVI might cost about $3,000-$3,500, depending on the charter company and the dates selected. A larger boat would cost more, and location would affect the cost. While Sunsail is a Class A company, it does have discounts for 'reef days' and returning captains. Charter companies have newer and older boats, which also affects price.
If you've chartered before, you know about all the other costs, insurance, clearance fees, provisions, moorings, etc.
I'm open to discuss the sailing location - BVI is lovely, but there's the USVI, and SVI, and the leeward islands.
It might make sense to use a charter broker to put this together. I've used them in the past -- it simplifies many things, avoids some shoals, and does not add any cost for the service. All we'd do is give the broker our parameters and let him come back with all the available options that might meet our needs. He can handle the financial arrangements, too, and provide itinerary guidance, if we go to an new area.
I've written some stuff about my background earlier in this thread. If we have more to talk about, first tell me a bit more about yourself and the others, then let's connect directly via email, then phone.
Thanks for your interest,
Re: Need someone to join me on a BVI charter in Feb or March
I've been talking with a couple of friends about a similar charter. We've lots of sailing/mechanical experience. Also prefer cat. Let us know what kind of prices you come up with.
aloha Andrew, sd2hi at yahoo
Re: Need someone to join me on a BVI charter in Feb or March
I appreciate the previous comments. The charter cost split should just make sense. If anyone is really interested, we'll work together to agree on whatever we're all happy with. If we can't do that, we shouldn't be sailing together!!
My personal information:
Born and raised in Michigan; live in Washington, DC; married, and a grandfather; semi-retired; sailing for over 40 years; have owned and sailed many kinds of boats; recently owned a 2007 Tartan 3400 which I sailed for 4 years, mostly single-handed, on Chesapeake Bay; owned a Cape Dory last year; now boat-less (except for a Pro-line dual console I've owned since 1996 -- that doesn't count); chartered out of Tortola more times than I can remember -- 2 or 3 times from Sunsail, also from Island Packet in St Thomas; not mechanically inclined - just love to sail!
I hope that's helpful.

2. Sean Porter – Porter isn't in the same class as former Texas A&M teammate Von Miller but he's a terrific athlete. Porter had 9.5 sacks in 2011 before registering just 3.5 this season. During a blitz drill, he unofficially went 3-1. He was smooth in his drops and exploded forward to intercept the ball during individual drills.
3. Ty Powell – Powell, a Division II All-American, was a late addition to the roster who debuted on Tuesday. A big-time pass rusher in the small-college ranks, Powell had an impact day. His only loss in a blitz drill probably would have resulted in an offensive holding penalty. On a screen, Powell was able to get inside of the offensive lineman to make the tackle.
4. Khaseem Greene – The Rutgers linebacker's day got off to a bad start when he was flattened in the blitz drill by fullback Kyle Juszczyk. There's more to playing linebacker than rushing the passer, and Greene showed sideline-to-sideline ability. During a nine-on-seven run drill, he beat Juszczyk to the hole to stop the runner and wasn't caught off-balance when Oregon running back Kenjon Barner tried to juke past him.
5. Nico Johnson – The Alabama bruiser might not be an every-down player but there remains a place in the NFL for a big, tough run stopper. Toward the end of the practice, he stopped Stanford running back Stepfan Taylor in his tracks, and he showed decent range in quickness in helping fellow linebacker Zaviar Gooden stop a screen. However, he unofficially went 0-4 in the blitz drill.

if you updated metasploit from the one that comes on the bt5 cd, metasploit is broken with armitage. You can tell if you do this:
cd /pentest/exploits/framework3
db_driver postgresql
db_driver mysql

Same problem over here... I indeed updated metasploit... Is there a way to fix this?

Hammers seeking compensation
West Ham have submitted a claim for compensation with the FA following Carlton Cole's injury while on England duty.
Last Updated: 06/04/09 7:00pm
West Ham have reportedly submitted a claim for compensation with the Football Association following Carlton Cole's groin injury sustained while on England duty.
The 25-year-old hit-man suffered the injury in England's recent 4-0 friendly victory over Slovakia at Wembley.
With Cole now requiring five weeks of rehabilitation before he returns to action, West Ham are hoping to win compensation via the FA's insurance cover.
Michael Owen's injury at the last World Cup led to a high-profile settlement with Newcastle, and West Ham believe they should be compensated for the loss of their star striker.
Poor timing
Cole's absence comes at a time when his club are chasing seventh place in the Premier League and a place in the Europa League that should come with it.
"It is frustrating if you consider that we now have Carlton Cole out as well as Valon Behrami and Jack Collison, plus Scott Parker is not at his best," said manager Gianfranco Zola.
"It is frustrating because they are important players for us. It is a crucial moment of the season. The whole season has been like that, always having something to deal with."

Talk to an Allstate personal financial representative, or keep reading to learn more about permanent life insurance.
Important information about variable universal life insurance.
Since cash value depends on the performance of the subaccounts you choose, there is the potential for losing cash value, which could cause your policy to lapse.
Variable universal life insurance policies carry annual insurance company mortality and expense risk charges, withdrawal charges in the early years, and administrative fees. Individual features may be offered at an additional cost. The value of a variable universal life insurance policy will fluctuate with the investment performance of the underlying subaccounts and may be worth more or less than the original investment.
Management fees and/or other expenses also apply on an ongoing basis for each subaccount investment portfolio available under the policy. Please see the prospectus for more details concerning any applicable fees and each subaccount investment portfolio's expense.
Variable universal life products are long-term investments designed to provide life insurance protection and flexibility in connection with premium payments and death benefits. You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the investment alternatives before purchasing a policy. These policies have limitations and are sold by prospectus only. The prospectus contains details on the investment alternatives, policy features, the underlying portfolios, fees, charges, expenses, and other pertinent information.

My first thought was, "Hallelujah people are asking questions! They should be asking questions. Specifically, they should be asking the question, 'Where has the soul of the Integral and Supramental knowledge that used to inhabit the Sri Aurobindo Ashram fled to?' And if they truly search with an open heart and mind, they will find the answer.
Paulette also wrote in reference to the forces she feels are destroying the spirit of the Ashram, 'Pirates can assault the royal ship and grab it, but this doesn't make of them a king!'
But what happens if a group of hopeful yogis imagine that they have inherited the 'royal ship' when in actuality they know nothing of its true form, dimensions, dynamics, range, potentialities and destination? What if whole truth of the ship is actually beyond their comprehension, yet they still try to control its movements. This classic and miserable state in which the ignorant/egoic self possessively controls, or rather thinks it controls the Vessel, has as its trophy or monument, the
Before leaving her body, the Mother left behind as her greatest legacy, the blueprints of her temple, the Matrimandir. What hardly a soul noticed was that the Mother's blueprints simultaneously laid out the design of the Royal Vessel (i.e. the Divine Self) and IT's Divine Journey (i.e. the Sanatana Dharma of Being and Becoming). As a result of this ignorance the design and dimensions were altered without giving heed to the protests of Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet who knew it was a grave mistake to alter the sacred geometries of the Mother's
Plenty of efforts have been made to reveal the astounding rhyme, reason and significance of the Sacred Vessel/Vedic Temple that Mother dropped into their laps with minimal explanation. [See the Matrimandir Action Committee's website and The New Way,Volumes 1 & 2] But the majority have covered their ears, refusing to let the new information rock their boat, mistaking their refusal as an honorable defense against asuras, pirates, forces of darkness, etc. Their 'love' for Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is a sentimental and rigid attachment to their own hold on or grasp of the Yoga rather than a fluid, humble and open-hearted receptivity to the Supramental Play that has continued to SUCCEED after Sri Aurobindo and the Mother left their bodies. The strife in Auroville and in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram is the necessary and inevitable culmination of this lowly vein of 'love'.
It will be a refreshing and encouraging day when students of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother's Yoga begin to discuss the Mother's actual legacy, her actual vision, her actual Temple design and what that means in terms of the dynamic progression of the Supramental Manifestation rather than fighting over control of a Royal Ship that they know not the head or tail nor even the whereabouts of.

secundus sends very many and perpetual greetings to Onesimus.
You have started an important question, said secundus, and who so able to discuss it as yourself?
secundus was a stout seaman, and owned his own vessel when he was yet a young man.
This is a beautiful allusion to a little poem among the Elegies of secundus.
You did me justice, my dearest secundus, in confiding in my affection towards you.
Fleming secundus is his particular chum, and after the first bitterness of disappointment, secundus returned to his allegiance.
A door opened in the wall to his right, and secundus stepped through.
Urquhart considered it as good as bought, but secundus returned it to him next day.
"Approximately one and a quarter days have gone by at the Earth's normal rate since Primus lost his memory," secundus said.
The charcoal-burner exclaims "secundus accessit" and so with the third, whereupon they all confess.

The 'Bay Area' is actually the San Francisco Bay Area in California, which is near other large towns that are across the bay from San Francisco such as Berkeley and Oakland, and south of San Francisco are San Mateo, Palo Alto, and the whole San Jose area. Currently, the Bay Area OWASP Chapter covers this whole geographic region.

Notes about OWASP presentations
OWASP presentations are geared for a technical audience. We are particularly interested in new approaches to tackling application security problems, defensive techniques for new technology in the application security space and lessons learned from developers and security professionals tackling application security. Please consider a wide breadth of topic areas and we can discuss if they should be tailored in a particular direction for the OWASP audience.
OWASP chapter presentations must not be sales pitches and must adhere to a vendor neutral approach to the topic.
Bay Area Security Training
Special Free Training Event - Feb. 24, 2014
OWASP is hosting a special security boot camp for all RSA attendees and local developers. The training is recommended for developers who want to learn more about securing their code as well as security professionals who want to become acquainted with the latest web vulnerabilities.
Presented by Jim Manico and Eoin Keary, this intensive boot camp focuses on the most common web application security problems, including aspects of both the OWASP Top Ten and the MITRE Top 25. The course will introduce and demonstrate application assessment techniques, illustrating how application vulnerabilities can be exploited so students really understand how to avoid introducing such vulnerabilities in their code and understand fixes.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi! I'll be glad to help you with this issue. Let me ask you a few questions for us to get started, okay?
Does she make friends easy now and in the past? Did she always play in age appropriate ways and does she have good social skills?
Does she tend to obsess on activities she likes and have a hard time stopping when it's time to do something different?
Does she have repetitive motions and movements? Does she also have certain habits she does over and over?
Does she have a hard time relating to other people's feelings?
Hi, I see that you are standing by. Do you need more time to reply? Because the chat closes if there is no activity after a certain amount of time, okay?
I never saw the initial answer. Could you please respond to my question?
Hi, I'll be glad to respond. In fact, once the chat closed on the other question you asked that is still open, I was typing an answer there. Do you see the questions here that I asked over there that carried over? I also am unclear why you gave a bad rating. Is there a reason?
Would you consider changing the bad rating as it reflects badly on me and I have been merely waiting for your replies?
Yes I could not see your answer. maybe it's the site. could y ou resend it somehow?
Do you want me to finish typing the answer there? Or would you like to chat here?
Or both?
you can chat here that's fine.
Do you see the questions above that I originally asked you? They're here at the top of this chat.
ok yes.
As you work on those questions, let me say I can imagine this is a very frustrating situation for you and I can also sense the worry. And I agree with you that there are grounds for concern. We don't know for sure if there is a problem or not, but there you are noticing enough behavioral anomolies that you're concerned.
I also agree with you that it's very frustrating trying to get schools and school officials to help in such situations. They want things very black and white and extreme. If you are a little concerned, they are usually not interested in considering the issues because they're concerned about allocating time and resources.
she has a hard time making friends, she does not have a hard time relating to people's feelings, she does not have repetitive movements, she does get really attached to people and things and has a hard time letting go of them, and yes I will change my rating
Are you concerned about possible developmental problems in the Autism Spectrum area?
That's why my questions, which are specifically aimed at ruling out Asperger Syndrome
What are your thoughts about what the problem might be?
Yes I do. I think she may have Asperger's syndrome. If she does, this school will NOT work for her. Don't know what to do :(
I understand; it's a tremendous worry.
Is there a children's hospital in your area?
oh yes! plus newly divorced with 2 other children. There is Stanford close by
Good. That gives us a tremendous resource.
I'm very sorry about the divorce. That does throw a new variable into your daughter's behavior, though:
Is this behavior you've described and that is worrying you fitting the timetable of the great tension between her parents?
Not just the actual divorce, but the fighting and the tension between the two of you?
What do you think?
She has always been "spaced out" even before the divorce. She was only 3 when I left so I don't think she recalls. Also, we were not the screaming arguing type. we just did not speak to each other.
Thanks so much for answering that. I know it was not easy, it brought up a bad time in your life.
I just would love to get her diagnosed or have any mental condition ruled out. I think this would help me to how tomove forward.
Is calling the Children's Hospital or the University Hospital at Stanford available to you as a diagnostic possibility. They would have the most experienced diagnosticians.
hmm you are probably right. I think I will take that approach.
Can I also give you some resources? For learning about Asperger's and for working with AS kids?
That would be awesome!
Great. Now, I don't want to make it sound as if we've just diagnosed her. That would be unfair. But you have good observational skills clearly and you love her and you're worried. So,
the most important thing is to verify or rule out your worry. At her age, we don't know how severe it would really be as she gets older if it is present and early intervention is so important. Also,
yes early intervention is very important which is why I am jumping on it now.
Good for you, and so you can leave the school alone because they don't have the expertise or the knowhow. But Stanford and the children's hospital do.
Can I give you the resources in the previous question you asked me before you opened this chat? Because
It will be easier to give you links to books and articles in that format?
you r right! am so disgusted with this school right now but have no idea where to send her. Charter school maybe?
or maybe I will wait until I can get her evaluated and worked up.
Don't take action yet on the school part. Focus your time and energy on getting a good diagnostic evaluation from competent professionals, okay?
okay. Thank you soooo much!
Here is what I was typing to you when you opened up the other chat. If you could give this a positive rating as well, I'd be grateful. I want you very much to be hopeful. I've worked with AS kids and teens. And your daughter (again, IF she does have a developmental issue) is in the category where it would be mild enough to be very treatable with you being educated, a therapist, and some at-least-partly-competent schooling. Don't count on the schools too much. I don't mean to say mean things but I don't want you to put your hopes onto the wrong professionals: schools are just not educated in how to deal with mild developmental problems. They are trained only to deal with the extremes. So, here's what I wrote and it has some excellent resources for you:
Hi! The chat ended as you went offline, so I'll be glad to help you with this issue here in this question/answer format.
First, let me say I can imagine this is a very frustrating situation for you and I can also sense the worry. And I agree with you that there are grounds for concern. We don't know for sure if there is a problem or not, but there you are noticing enough behavioral anomalies that you're concerned.
Please: I am not diagnosing clinically. I am giving you my first impression for what I would want you to rule out.
Let's start with the Mayo Clinic's entry for AS. It's a few pages, so scroll through them:
Let me also give you here a brief description of AS by Tony Attwood who is THE expert in our day on AS:
Let me give you the name of an excellent book I use with parents that has a checklist in the back that you can use to make your own informal evaluation if there is perhaps an Aspergers connection here. The book is Parenting Your Aspergers Child by Sohn and Grayson. Here is the Amazon web page for it: http://www.amazon.com/Parenting-Your-Asperger-Child-Individualized/dp/0399530703/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1285651809&sr=1-1
I have multiple copies of it in my office to give to parents because I think the proactive approach they use is sensational! They have checklists at the end of the book for symptoms for you to see informally if you think Aspergers may apply to your daughter. She's pretty young but their checklist should help you a lot. AND even if you rule out Aspergers, I think you will find some of the ways of working with her using their principles in getting dressed in the morning will be very helpful.
So now let's move beyond that first impression. Whatever it is, you need to get her to an experienced child psychologist. I would ask for referrals from the university hospital or the children's hospital. Interview the psychologist. Don't just accept the first one. Look at their office; if it looks like the kind of place that has some space set aside where you think a kid would like to be in, that's a good first sign.
Here is the web address for Psychology Today's therapist directory. You can sort by zip codes and when you see someone who seems like they might be helpful (they show you a photo of the therapist!). Here also, interview the therapist and make sure he/she shares your values and you each feel confident in him or her. http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/
Now Aspergers in girls is a bit different than with boys. So for your education, here's a book about girls and Aspergers. I'm including it for your knowledge, not as a treatment guide. Asperger's and Girls by Tony Attwood. There are other experts who have chapters. It can be a bit repetitive. Here's the Amazon page:
Now for ABA. This is really a modality for working with autism spectrum disorders. It is used in our work with Aspergers. But my concern is that you are getting into a very professional discussion that you're not going to be interested in. ABA is a comprehensive way to do what the Parenting book I first cited for you does to a great extent in practical terms. ABA focuses on the principle that changing behavior with autism is best accomplished by directing the awareness of the person on the effect of current behavior on the environment around her. This is as opposed to focusing on what it feels like inside to do the behavior. This is a very simplistic and overview type of explanation. But I hope you get the idea: ABA is a way to focus the autistic (or Aspergers) child on what she's doing in the world and how her behavior is having effect in the world rather than inside of her.
So here are two books on it. The first is really for professionals. But if you're interested here it is. It's in a second edition now: Applied Behavior Analysis by Cooper, Heron, and Heward. Here's the Amazon page:
This next one is a lot more parent friendly: The Verbal Behavior Approach: How to Teach Children with Autism and Related Disorders by Barbera and Rasmussen. Here's the Amazon page:
Now Aspergers in girls is a bit different than with boys. So for your education, here's a book about girls and Aspergers. I'm including it for your knowledge, not as a treatment guide. Asperger's and Girls by Tony Attwood. Attwood is THE authority in spectrum disorders. There are other experts who have chapters. It can be a bit repetitive. Here's the Amazon page:
Okay, I wish you the very best!
My goal is for you to feel like you've gotten Great Service from me and the site. If we need to continue the discussion for that to happen, then please feel free to reply and we'll continue working on this. If the answer has given you the help you need, please remember to give a rating of 5 (Great Service) or 4 (Informative and helpful), or even 3 (Got the job done) button. This will make sure that I am credited for the answer and you are not charged anything more than the deposit you already made by pressing any of these buttons. Bonuses are always appreciated! If I can be of further help with any issue now or in the future, just put "For Dr. Mark" in the front of your new question, and I'll be the one to answer it. All the best, Dr. Mark

The Power of Independent Thinking
Paperback 320 pages 1 table 6 x 9 inches Index
Publication Date: Jan. 1, 1998
Publisher: Independent Institute
In the name of diversity, many leading academic and cultural institutions are working to silence dissent and stifle intellectual life. This powerful book exposes the real impact of multiculturalism on the institution most closely identified with the politically correct decline of higher educationStanford University. Authored by two Stanford graduates, this book is a compelling, if sometimes depressing, insiders tour of a world of speech codes, dumbed-down admissions standards and curricula, campus witch hunts, and anti-Western zealotry that masquerades as legitimate scholarly inquiry.
Sacks and Thiel use numerous primary sourcesthe Stanford Daily, class readings, official university publicationsto reveal a pattern of politicized classes, housing, budget priorities, and more. They trace the connections between such disparate trends as political correctness, the gender wars, Generation X nihilism, and culture wars, showing how these have played a role in shaping multiculturalism at institutions like Stanford.
Sacks and Thiel convincingly show that multiculturalism is not about learning more; it is actually about learning less. They end their comprehensive study by detailing the changes necessary to reverse the tragic disintegration of American universities and restore true academic excellence.

About the Authors
In the 1980s, Stanford University launched what its President Donald Kennedy described as a great experiment in multiculturalism. The experiment would transform campus life, leading to curricular innovation, new codes for student conduct, the celebration and institutionalization of diversity, changes in dorm life, even a refocusing of campus ministries. The Diversity Myth offers an insider s account of what multiculturalism has meant at a major university, and of what it will mean for America.
The Diversity Myth is divided into two parts. Part I, The New Academy (chapters 1-4) explores how multiculturalism has transformed the curriculum and extracurricular campus life. Part II, The New Culture, consisting of chapters 5-8, broadens the focus to consider multiculturalism as a social, political and cultural phenomenon.
Chapter 1, The West Rejected, opens with an account of Stanford s debate over Western Culture. Ostensibly, this debate centered on the merits of a core reading list for a series of required freshman courses, but it soon evolved into much more. With the notorious chant, Hey hey, ho ho, Western Culture s got to go!, Stanford s activists attacked the entire culture studied in that courseand demanded a drastic overhaul of the universitys mission.
By 1990, the Western Culture courses had been replaced by a series of new CIV (Culture, Ideas and Values) tracks. But it is highly debatable whether CIV actually increased the diversity of the curriculum: The course still primarily drew from Western culture, but its purpose had shifted to denouncing the West as racist, sexist, and classist. By eliminating the core reading list, some of Stanford s more radical professors effectively were given free rein to canonize their own ideological views.
Chapter 2, Multiculturalism: A New Word for a New World, describes how multiculturalism filled the vacuum created by the elimination of the West. What is multiculturalism? The term is used in several different and contradictory ways. On the one hand, multiculturalism is typically defined as a celebration of diversity or as cultural relativismthe belief that no culture may use its standards to judge another. But these explanations are incomplete: Not all kinds of diversity are celebrated, and the relativist rhetoric is never applied to the condemned West. Multiculturalism is also guided by a narrower, though less often articulated, set of values and judgments.
At Stanford, the values that inform multiculturalism are those of 1960s activists, who use the ideological biases of that era to calibrate and evaluate cultural differences. Typically, for example, racial differences are given great cultural importance, while religious differences are completely ignored. But the consequences of multiculturalism is more (or perhaps less) than left-liberalism: In practice, the new multicultural community simply has resulted in the most stifling conformity imaginableand this is what is so transparently at odds with all the rhetoric about diversity.
Chapter 3, Educating Generation X, explores what the new multicultural curriculum has meant in areas beyond Western Culture. The loss of objective academic standards has had a number of serious consequences. Grade inflation is rampant and a number of classes are primarily therapeutic, designed to boost students self-esteem. For other instructors, trendiness has become the guiding principle, with classes studying popular TV shows, rock groups, or cartoon strips. In other contexts, the ideological components of multiculturalism predominate, as instructors focus on social victims and radical political activism.
But when everything is equally important, then nothing really matters. The cumulative effect of all these ephemeral studies is that the curricula are ultimately empty. The real danger is not that students will become left-wing disciples of multiculturalism, but that they will become disenchanted with learning altogether. The nihilism and apathy of Generation X are not that surprising, when one considers the vacuity of much of what they have been offered.
Chapter 4, The Engineering of Souls, moves beyond the classroom to consider the extracurricular components of multiculturalism -- how it has been implemented in dorm life, in conduct rules, and other university programs. Two contradictory themes soon emerge. On the one hand, there is a theology of liberation as the university encourages freedom from traditional Western morality -- a bias in favor of sexual exploration, a bias against the Judeo-Christian tradition. On the other hand, however, there is a new Puritanism, with the campus hysteria over date rape -- a phenomenon that has been greatly exaggerated -- leading to more unjustified restrictions of student liberties. Perhaps the best way of reconciling these two disparate themes is to recognize that, broadly defined, both involve the same anti-Western animus that drove Stanford s curriculum revisions.
Chapter 5, Stages of Oppression, looks in some depth at the claims of oppression that are so central to multiculturalism. The multicultural community postulates differences between groups and similarities within groups -- so that members of minorities (racial, sexual, etc.) -- are all different from the majority in exactly the same way. This sort of diversity ignores the enormous diversity of individuals.
More specifically, the differences between minorities and majorities are conceived in terms of the oppression of the former by the latter. Minorities are all alike, according to multiculturalists, because they share a culture of being oppressed. Thus, racial identity is conceived in relation to institutional racism, gender identity in relation to sexism, and gay and lesbian identity in relation to homophobia. One of the interesting -- and problematic -- corollaries of the culture of victimization is that, if the oppressions ever ended, then the specific minority identities would also disappear. Multiculturalism would cease to exist.
Chapter 6, Welcome to Salem, considers another dimension of the oppressed identities. An identity of victimization is not a Platonic essence, standing on its own; it is relational. For every victim, there must be a victimizer. And therefore the culture of multiculturalism (the multiculture) must, in order to reaffirm victimized identities, hunt down and eliminate its oppressors. This elimination of oppression does not occur once and for all, but must be periodically reenacted, to reinforce victimized identities that are threatened with dissipation over time.
It is in this context that one should understand the witch hunts against people who are politically incorrect. These witch hunts are not an incidental, but a necessary, component of the multiculture. Although conservative students and faculty, and white males more generally, are frequent targets, they are not the only ones. Multiculturalism also goes after people who would seem to be natural allies. Liberals who do not toe the party line in particular contexts, and minority students who do not agree with all multicultural claims, can become victims of multiculturalism. The multiculture must have enemies to denounce, and sometimes even very implausible one will do.
Chapter 7, The Egalitarian Elite, describes how the multicultural experiment gradually came to an end at Stanford. It did not end from the inside, as all checks and balances (not to mention objective standards) had been gradually eroded. But the end came from the outside, in the form of a debate over indirect costs and federal subsidization of research at Stanford University. Many of these indirect costs had been used to pay for Stanfords multicultural experiment; as government auditors uncovered a pattern of waste and abuse, they started to cut funding and the cultural revolution on campus showed to a halt.
One of the remarkable features of the cuts in indirect costs involved the arrogant attitude of Stanfords educational leaders. They could not believe that they had done anything wrong and they could not tolerate the idea that others might be able to review their activities. Platos paradoxical questionand who will guard the guardians?may not be as outdated as some believe.
Chapter 8, Calibans Kingdom, concludes with some thoughts on the aftermath of multiculturalism at Stanford, and the prospects for America. Multiculturalism has failed on campus, but it is unclear whether Stanford can go back to the pasta great deal of damage has been done by the multicultural bulldozer, and it may take many years to undo the legacy. For America, the warning seems equally clear: the multicultural culture of complaint will result in a culture of blame. As people turn on one another, real solutions to problems will recede further and further away.
It is not clear there is a political or cultural solution to the multicultural crisis. Perhaps the most promising avenues lie outside the politico-cultural realm, and will start on an individual, rather than a collective level. Individuals will have to decideon their own, with help from no one elseto forsake the ethos of resentment and anger that is so central to the multiculture. Only then will the curtain fall on the multicultural theater of diversity, in which the many actors play carefully assigned roles but rarely are able to say or do what they think is right.
This engaging saga of Stanfords experiment in multiculturalism compellingly draws readers into the nightmare world of social engineering in practice. The authors convincingly argue that the campaign to impose multiculturalism amounts to nothing less than a war on Western Civilization and, beyond it, a war on the very idea of civilization. Even those who do not agree with all of the authors views, will find The Diversity Myth a frightening and thought-provoking accountand, above all, a timely reminder that the educational collapse of our most exclusive universities must be of deep concern to us all.
Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Elénore Raoul Professor of Humanities, Emory University
The story of The Diversity Myth is based at Stanford, but this book is larger than that. As a Harvard graduate, I recognize my own school in these pages, and quite likely you will too. By detailing the current corruption of our academic ideals with a larger audience, David Sacks and Peter Thiel have hastened the much-needed and long-awaited restoration of higher education.
Christopher Cox, former Chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; former U.S. Congressman (R)
"The Diversity Myth shows how McCarthyism on the left is as dangerous as McCarthyism on the right. Read it and weep for what is happening on our college campuses."
Richard D. Lamm, former Governor (D) of Colorado
In a new book, The Diversity Myth, authors David Sacks and Peter Thiel show how Stanford University has incorporated the multicultural agenda into its undergraduate curriculum. The authors note that Stanfords undergraduates can now get credit for such courses as Creation/Procreation, which looks into the gendered aspects of cosmological or religious systems, and Gender and Science, which purports to study science free of outdated assumptions. There is also a feminist studies course titled How Tasty Were my French Sisters, about which I dare not speculate.
Wall Street Journal
Years ago, William Buckley, a very young Yale graduate, authored the seminal critique of higher education in America, God and Man at Yale. Sacks and Thiel, very young Stanford graduates, have now written the sequel. The Diversity Myth confirms the continuing decline of intellectual integrity in our finest colleges and universities and lays bare what must be corrected if higher education is ever to achieve the great potential of which it is capable.
Martin C. Anderson, Keith and Jan Hurlbut Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University; author, Imposters in the Temple: The Decline of the American University
The Diversity Myth is a carefully documented and sensitively recorded historical account of the whole tragic saga, together with keen analysis of how all this could have happened. Future historians will find this book indispensable.
National Review
The Diversity Myth is a devastating indictment of how a great university came close to being destroyed. Well-written and concise, the book lays out the difference between those seeking to understand other cultures and those seeking to eviscerate our own. It is must reading for anyone who values the discourse of civility over the politics of intellectual intolerance and zealotry.
Philip Merrill, former President and Publisher, Washingtonian
A great read and an important story, this book will not just cause alarm about our educational institutions. It will inspire renewal.
William Kristol, Editor and Publisher, The Weekly Standard
Two veterans of the culture wars at Stanford University have written a book exposing the downside of higher educations rush to embrace a new mission known as multiculturalism. . . . The national experiment in multiculturalism and the pursuit of institutional diversity for diversitys sake led by Stanford also brought the disintegration of academic standards, they contend. Its completely anti-intellectual, said Peter A. Thiel, co-author with David O. Sacks of The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and the Politics of Intolerance at Stanford. Multiculturalism is about studying less, not more. It has nothing to do with other cultures and no stress of foreign languages. Its anti-Western, not non-Western. . . . Reaction to the book and its authors from the Stanford administration has been hostile.
Washington Times
"A first-rate piece of reporting and analysis, The Diversity Myth is required reading for those who care about Stanford and about the content of higher education."
Dinesh D'Souza, Author, Illiberal Education and many other books
There is no higher duty for intellectuals than to denounce incipient totalitarianism wherever they observe it. Some of its symptoms are present at Stanford. In The Diversity Myth, two recent Stanford graduates document the situation there with a thoroughness and depth of analysis that should help stiffen the spine of university administrators.
René N. T. Girard, Andrew B. Hammond Professor Emeritus of French Language, Literature, and Civilization, Stanford University
If you want to find out what went wrong at Stanford University, read The Diversity Myth. Theres hardly a better source than this book for learning why multiculturalism on campus cannot work.
Linda L. Chavez, former Director, U. S. Commission on Civil Rights; Chairman, Center for Equal Opportunity
Written by two recent Stanford Graduates, The Diversity Myth says the campus was divided, and the curriculum destroyed, by the multicultural movement. The authors, David O. Sacks and Peter A. Thiel, bemoan the offering of a history course in the spring of 1992 that focused entirely on black hair styles as a political and cultural statement. . . . Their book also discusses censorship, speech codes, and date rape.
The Chronicle of Higher Education
"Two former Stanford students, who lived through the 'culture wars' there, have written the most thorough and detailed account yet available of what 'multiculturalism' has meant at a major American university. With fascinating and often disheartening detail, The Diversity Myth will certainly lead readers to question what is happening today in American higher education."
Nathan Glazer, Professor of Education and Social Structure, Emeritus, Harvard University
[T]he multiculturalism of todays politically correct university academician or fashionable writer? Perhaps two Stanford graduates put it best in their recent critique of their universitys rampant multiculturalism. It has nothing to do with other cultures and no stress of foreign languages, Peter A. Thiel and David O. Sacks, authors of The Diversity Myth, write. Its anti-Western, not non-Western . . . indeed, a war on Western civilization.
Chicago Tribune
The Diversity Myth reveals the intellectual corruption that captured one of our nations premier universities. But the fact that these authors demonstrated the wisdom and the will to expose such conditions gives hope for at least some of its graduates.
Edwin W. Meese, III, former United States Attorney General; Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow and Chairman, Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, Heritage Foundation
The Diversity Myth charges that politicized classes and student activities have led to an ironic intolerance on campusintolerance of all things Western.
I was blessed to have attended Stanford during a political calm between the violence of 1969-71 and the more subtle intimidation discussed in The Diversity Myth. Even then, Stanfords political culture was reflexively left, and dissenters could expect rhetorical flailings. But, there were no more taboos on expression than existed in the society beyond. Somehow that changed, and with it the character of the institution. This book explains why.
Tim W. Ferguson, Editor, Forbes Asia; Stanford Class of 1977
People who affect to believe that political correctness is merely a phantom of the conservative imagination are fond of saying that that same few isolated incidents are endlessly recycled. . . . Sacks and Thiel present a series of such incidents, less widely reported than the uproar over Stanfords curriculum but more groubling because they show how far those in charge of universities are willing to go to intrude on students privacy and their freedom of conscience.
Linda Seebach, Editorial Page Editor, Rocky Mountain News
"David Sacks and Peter Thiel not only traveled into the heart of darkness, they had to get an education while they were there. The Diversity Myth demonstrates that they succeeded and that the darkness need not always win."
R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., Editor-in-Chief, The American Spectator
In a just-released, hard-hitting book, The Diversity Myth, co-authors and Stanford Alumni David sacks and Peter Thiel expose the radicalization in curriculum and student activities at Stanford University in recent years. Beyond the pervasive politicization of the curriculum, Sacks and Thiel also detail what they say has been a sharp degradation of academic standards at Stanford.
Human Events
Although this book is by no means the first effort to isolate and analyze the multiculturalist virus infecting American higher education, it may well be the best. . . . The Diversity Myth is both an alarming account of a great institutions flirtation with self-destruction and a withering exposé of academic arrogance and folly.
Requirements at prestigious Stanford University have been altered to emphasize political correctness at the expense of the classics, two recent graduates argue in their provocative book, The Diversity Myth. . . . Thiel and Sacks provide a devastating report from the belly of the beast of multiculturalism and political correctness, or PC.
Insight on the News
"The Diversity Myth is a compelling tour of campus speech codes, dumbed-down admissions standards and curricula, and anti-Western zealotry that masquerades as scholarly inquiry.
Christopher G. Long, President, Intercollegiate Studies Institute
Both graduates of Stanford University and Research Fellows at The Independent Institute, David O. Sacks is former Chief Operating Officer and Peter A. Thiel is former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at PayPal, Inc. Mr. Sacks is also Founder and former Chief Executive Officer at Yammer, Inc., and Geni, Inc.

Oil markets quiet on US Holiday and start of IP week in London
Today will be a quiet day in the US with all of the exchanges closed for the Presidents Day holiday. Only electronic trading will be open in the US. In addition IP week gets underway in London today which should contribute to today being an even quieter and lower liquidity day than normal. The spot WTI contract is starting the week in negative territory while everything else in the oil complex is showing a small gain for the session so far. Asia is getting back to normal as China returns from its week long Lunar New Year Holiday.
The April Brent/WTI spread is now hovering near it contract high resistance level after holding support last week. The combination of Saudi oil exports down to a level not seen since the third quarter of 2011 along with North Sea maintenance scheduled to get underway in March (Buzzard field) is keeping the Brent contract supported at the moment.
Light week on the macroeconomic front with housing and inflation data hitting the media airwaves in the US along with the normal weekly jobless claims. The weekly oil inventory cycle will be postponed one day due to the Presidents Day holiday. The API oil inventory report will released on Wednesday afternoon with the EIA data hitting the airwaves at 11 AM on Thursday. The weekly Nat Gas inventory report will follow its normal time and schedule of Thursday at 10:30 am.
The oil complex ended the week mixed... with the spot RBOB gasoline contract surging higher during the second half of the week as market participants became more concerned that supplies could be an issue down the road. Once again RBOB gasoline is largest gainer in the complex with HO declining after a warmer than normal period.
WTI increased marginally on the week even as the Seaway pipeline remains constrained due to the bottleneck at the Jonas Creek terminal. The pipeline operator has not given any timetable for a return to normal operating capacity. The spot WTI contract increased by 0.15% or $0.14/bbl while Brent declined by about 0.16% or $0.19/bbl. Crude oil stocks in PADD 2 and Cushing were modestly lower even as the Seaway remains constrained and refinery maintenance season is getting underway.
The April Brent/WTI spread was marginally lower on the week after widening by over $4/bbl the previous week. The April spread held support last week and is currently trading at life of contract highs (basis the April spread). The April spread is now within about $6/bbl of the all time high for the spread (basis the continuation chart).
On the distillate fuel front the Nymex March HO contract decreased modestly by 0.86% or $0.0228/gal on the week even as distillate fuel inventories decreased modestly as temperatures were about normal over parts of the US during the report period. Gasoline prices increased strongly on the week after a draw in inventories. The March Nymex gasoline price increased by 2.47% or $0.0757/gal this past week.
The March Nat Gas futures contract declined strong on the week by 3.64% or $0.1190/mmbtu on the week and has now solidly breached the lower support level of the $3.20 to $3.50/mmbtu trading range that has been in play since November of 2012. The market has now moved into a new, lower trading range of $3/mmbtu to $3.20/mmbtu.
With precious little time left to the current winter heating season the bulls got another disappointment as the EIA weekly inventory report was bearish versus the market consensus and neutral at best versus the normal five year average net withdrawal for the same week. The spot Nat Gas futures price has breached the lower end ($3.20/mmbtu) of the trading range that has been in play since November.
Thursday's EIA report was bearish from the perspective that the report showed a net withdrawal that was modestly lower than the expectations but around the five year average for the same week but above last year's draw... which of course was an extremely warm February. However, the number was bearish based on a miss to the downside versus the market consensus.
The 157 BCF withdrawal (around normal for this time of the year) was below the market consensus calling for a withdrawal of around 162 BCF. The draw of 157 BCF was less than my model forecast (-170 BCF withdrawal) this week. The year over year inventory situation remains in a deficit position versus last year but still surplus versus the more normal five year average. The current inventory surplus narrowed slightly to 348 BCF above the five year average or about 16% above.
Next week's EIA inventory report (will be issued on its regular schedule and time in spite of holiday on Monday) is likely to be bearish after a mild week along much of the east coast. The early projections are calling for a net withdrawal in a range of about 120 BCF to 155 BCF compared to last year's withdrawal of 155 BCF and versus the five year average for the same week of 145 BCF. Obviously the report will be bearish if the number falls within the range. I will issue my forecast in Tuesday's newsletter.
On the financial front equity markets around the world were mostly lower for the week with two bourses now in negative territory for the year... Brazil and last year's leader Germany. Brazil is fighting inflation risk while export oriented Germany has been impacted by the stronger euro. The Index is now only showing a year to data gain of 0.4% after experiencing the largest one week loss of the year of 2.16%. Global equity markets have been on the defensive since peaking at the end of January and at least for the moment can still be categorized as being in a downward corrective pattern and not yet a change in the underlying trend. Equities were a negative price driver for the oil complex last week.
The euro was lower on the week while the US dollar was higher driven mostly by concerns over a possible currency war. Last week the global equity markets were a negative price driver for oil and most commodity markets.
I am maintaining my view of WTI at neutral to cautiously bearish and maintaining my view for Brent at neutral to cautiously bearish. That said I am continuing to fly the caution flag as any additional equity market corrections will impact oil prices in much the same way... a round of profit taking selling. Furthermore the spot Brent contract has breached its technical resistance level of about $118/bbl suggesting lower prices in the short term.
I am maintaining my Nat Gas view and bias at cautiously bearish as the weather forecasts and nearby temperatures remain bearish. As I have been discussing for weeks the direction of Nat Gas prices are primarily dependent on the actual and forecasted weather pattern now that we are still in the heart of the winter heating season and currently those forecasts have turned a tad more bearish at the moment.
Markets are mixed as shown in the following table.

Anyone one can say "anything" and you guys will write about it. You guys hurt Apple more than anything!
Anyway, I love my rMBP. It Is a great computer. I also own a 13 MBP and after using the 15 retina, which is lighter and thinner than my 2011 13 MBP, I will never buy another 13 inch computer. Too small for me.
As for price, I love my computer but it was not worth the money. Way over priced machine. At best the most that the 15inch retina should cost is 1599 and that is still overpriced. And, a higher priced 13 inch MBP would just be sickening. I think I'm done buying Apple stuff for while.

They're chemistry professors, retired physicians, retired schoolteachers, asphalt workers and car mechanics. They come from all different age groups and "all walks of life," says Donna Grinde, but what brings them together every Tuesday evening in the basement of St. Paul's Lutheran Church is their shared love of barbershop music.
Grinde is the music director of the Rocky Mountainaires, a vocal group set to celebrate the 35th anniversary of its "charter night" this month with a pair of upcoming performances. Grinde grew up in a family of dance band musicians, and put nearly two decades of singing into the Sweet Adelines, a sister group to the Mountainaires, and, like the men's group, a local chapter of a larger national organization. A retired legal secretary (she worked for the local law firm of Garlington and Lohn for 17 years), you'd never guess Grinde wasn't a retired music teacher from the way she takes matters in hand at the weekly rehearsals.
"I do go in with a lesson plan," she says, laughing. "I'm in charge of music. We do warm-ups with some old songs and then do some new ones. We like to keep our repertoire polished, and learn new material. We learned four new songs this year, and we carry some of the old ones over so that we don't lose what we spent so much time learning."
Grinde says that although being the female director of an all-male group makes her somewhat atypical, there are a few other female directors across the country, including four in the same regional district as the Rocky Mountainaires. She says she was offered the assignment in a phone call "out of the blue" in 1999 and accepted on the spot—directing was something she'd always wanted to do. And all that time in the Sweet Adelines, from which she'd just recently retired, was good training for the job.
"It was a natural transition," says Grinde. "Barbershopping is barbershopping. We have a really good working relationship, the men's chorus and the women's chorus. We have our hobby in common. I spend a lot of time on it every week, but I have the time because I'm retired, and this is my hobby. I love it, so that's what I do.
"I've had a really good run with them," she adds. "There's just a real positive attitude. We work real hard to foster that."
Baritone Don Luntz is one of two charter Mountainaires still active with the group. As he explains it, the current men's chorus snowballed around a core group of inveterate barbershoppers who got together just for the fun of it in the mid-'60s.
"This was before there was any group at all. There were a few other fellas from other cities and towns who had sung barbershop before. There were probably a dozen of us the first time we got together, then we kept getting more guys and more guys."
Once the original quartet started snowballing (and changed names—it seems there was already a Timbertones in New Jersey, so the Missoula quartet opted to become the Pinetones), it seemed the logical next step to charter a larger group with the fabulously named Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (or "Spebsqua Incorporated!" as Luntz calls it). That's the group currently D.B.A. the Rocky Mountainaires.
During its first few years the group practiced at the Presbyterian church, but then a basement fire forced them to find a new rehearsal space. They settled in at St. Paul's and have been there ever since. Luntz also briefly served as director in the early '70s—"Not because I wanted to," he says, "but because they didn't have anybody else." He confirms that Donna Grinde's reign of just four and a half years as music director has been a period of progress and prosperity.
"We've been in building mode for the past two or three years," he says. "It's getting to be really exciting again, with a new director and everything—she's a lot of fun, and she really puts a lot of work into it. She helps us out quite a bit."
The positive attitude that Grinde admires about the group arises—and occasionally, it seems, recedes—from within the ranks. Luntz says that new membership goes up when group energy is up, and down during the occasional—and, perhaps, inevitable, when one considers the commitment required to stick to the same Tuesday routine for 35 years—periods of waning interest and group inertia.
"It's mostly us, I think, the chorus members, determining what's going on," says Luntz. "If we're enthusiastic and sounding good, and looking like we're enjoying ourselves, it's easy to get people to come sing with us. And if we're not doing that—well, there's been times when we haven't been that enthusiastic, and membership has fallen off."
Luntz says there have been ups and downs over the years, but he prefers to remember the ups. The size of the larger chorus has made traveling somewhat impractical, but smaller spin-off quartets like the Pinetones used to travel all over the Northwest: Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia and Alberta.
"We sang in Victor, Idaho, one Friday and Saturday night," Luntz remembers, "drove all the way across Wyoming and sang in Rapid City at the Central States Fair on Sunday night. That was quite an experience. We were looking out on a beautiful full moon over the audience, and behind us there was a really brilliant show of the northern lights."
The Rocky Mountainaires currently count about 25 members: three tenors, five baritones, seven basses and nine leads. At times, the chorus has swelled to nearly 60 members; other times, it's shrunk to fewer than 20. The most recent additions have joined within the last year. Other members have been on board for two or three years, and there are some, says Grinde, in both the five- and 10-year ranges. Ages range from 25 to 75.
Ties between the Rocky Mountainaires and the Sweet Adelines (who, incidentally, won a regional competition in Boise last weekend) have always been close. But for those looking to join as a way to meet barbershoppers of the opposite sex—forget it, says Don Luntz. Sibling groups they may be, but Luntz says fraternization is frowned upon in order to maintain, well, group harmony.
"We kind of discourage that sort of thing," he says. "[Disputes] can happen between married people, too, but it's really not a very good situation to be fraternizing too much. Especially when we're doing so many very enjoyable things together, going on trips at the same time and so forth, it's generally not a good idea."
Still, barbershopping has formed the basis for many good friendships over the years. Music Director Grinde says there's a lot of social overlap in the Mountainaires, particular among those members who also quartet together.
"We have activities, too," she says, "where we bring our families in on parties and things. We have a real tight group. Our families know each other because we gather two or three times a year specifically for that purpose—so our families can get acquainted. My husband and I are partners in a resort up at Swan, and for the last three years the chorus have gone up there with their families for a weekend getaway. It's neat that they can all recreate together, too.
"We all care about each other," Grinde continues. "We keep track of who's having problems—health problems, or whatever kind of problem, and we jump in and help them as much as we can. There's just a feeling of brotherly love there. Barbershoppers have big hearts, you know what I mean? When you sing that kind of music, you have to have a lot of heart and emotion and passion for what you're doing. You're not just singing, you're performing. It comes from the soul."
The Rocky Mountainaires perform Friday and Saturday nights, May 7 and 8, at the Elks Club. Tickets cost $25 and include a buffet dinner from 6:30–7:30 PM. Doors open at 5:45 PM. Tickets are available at Access Music, Electronic Sound & Percussion and Rockin Rudy's. Call 721-4499 for info.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Multimedia
The large screen of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 makes this giant phone an obvious choice as a personal video player, and it excels at the task. It can play most video types, with support for Xvid, Divx and MKV. The only files it failed to play were our high bit-rate 1080p MKVs, which it spat out before even hitting the first frame.
Files like these can be played-back using a third-party media player like MX Player, although performance will depend on which one you use and whether it offers hardware support for the Note 2's chipset. Even the quad-core 1.6GHz Exynos 4412 struggles with 42Mbps 1080p MKVs using software rendering.
Get your video library in order, though, and both movies and TV episodes look fantastic. In the normal colour saturation mode, skin tones and bright clothing look thoroughly over-egged, but switch to the Natural or Movie mode within the main Settings menu and it's hard to beat as a movie buddy that fits in your pocket.
Like the Samsung Galaxy S3, the Galaxy Note 2 also features video multitasking. From within the video player app, you simply need to press a button within the transport bar to make the video pop-up as a resizeable overlay on top of your home screen. It'll stay there no matter what you're doing, and can be zapped with just a couple of taps, much like an app window in Windows.
Music support is much better than average too. If you're a bit of a music fiend and have OGG and FLAC files in your library rather than just standard AAC and MP3 jobbies, you'll have no problems with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
The music player app is clean, clear and effective, avoiding any 3D nonsense to slow navigation down. You do get a fairly comprehensive selection of equalisation and sound tweaking options, though.
The Music Player app offers a simple 7-band EQ, and extra controls for more involved bass and clarity modulators, plus reverb and 3D options (which we wouldn't recommend touching with any brand of pole.) Samsung calls this the SoundAlive engine, and it comes with a dozen presets as well as a custom mode.
There's also a strange secondary function in the app, called Music Squares. This analyses your tracks, rating them on whether they sound passionate, calm, exciting, joyful or something a bit in-between - based on things like tempo and changes in volume. Controlling a bit like a Korg Kaosspad, you can track a "mood trajectory" for a playlist to take by dragging your finger along these Music Squares. It's a bit silly, but it normally works reasonably well. Ish.
Much more importantly, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 outputs clear, clean audio at a decent volume, so you won't have to max out the volume as soon as you start listening anywhere other than a quiet room.
The bundled headphones aren't much to write about, but we rarely expect much of such things. They use an IEM-style design with not-all-that comfortable silicone tips, and have a fibrous-sounding treble that's prone to tripping over into harshness. However, bass response isn't too bad, and we imagine that if you're willing to spend £500 on a phone there's a good chance you'll already have your own pair of earphones or headphones anyway.
