The Hamptons may be internationally renowned as a playground for the rich and famous, but there's so much more to this striking region on the eastern end of Long Island, New York than parties and polo within Gatsby-esque luxury homes. For starters, while the sidewalks of the hamlets and villages that make up the area collectively known as The Hamptons are often teeming with a who's who of bold-face names and C-suite executives, the beaches are the real stars here.Lesen Sie mehr über luxuriöse Wohnobjekte in The Hamptons And Northfork

Lalande 21185
Although Lalande 21185 is almost 200 times dimmer than the Sun, it is among the brightest red dwarfs in the solar neighborhood. Moving perpendicular to the galactic plane at a high velocity of 47 km/s, Lalande 21185 appears to belong to the Galaxy's thick disk population and to be considerably older than the Sun. It has both a high radial velocity, of 86 km/s toward the Sun, and a high tangential velocity (proper motion) of 57 km/s. The former is bringing the star 0.028 light-year closer to us each century and to a closest approach of about 4.6 light-years in 22,000 A.D.
After analyzing 50 years of astrometric observations of the star, George Gatewood and colleagues of the Allegheny Observatory suggested (1996) that Lalande 21185 is orbited by two Jupiter-like planets, a and b, though the evidence for b is weaker than that for
Lalande 21185 in fictionIn Star Light, a novel by Hal Clement, Lalande 21185 is orbited by a planet called Dhrawn, which has an extremely high gravitational pull.
In the fictional universe of Star Trek, on several occasions in the year 2364, viewscreen readouts aboard the starship USS Enterprise-D show the location of Lalande 21185 in the form of charts from the Enterprise library computer. (TNG: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost", "Conspiracy"). [From Memory Alpha.]

text: Busuu.com is just like another website we reviewed earlier on this blog called Livemocha. Busuu.com is very similar to Livemocha in that you can review language vocab, listen to a conversation (but you can answer questions based off the conversation in Busuu.com) which includes the vocab, and speak to others in the community to practice the language and write in the language and grade others in their written and audio assignments. What's different is the availability of downloadable materials. To download vocab, you need to pay for an upgraded service (you can sign up for free service). What I like about Busuu.com more than Livemocha is that the vocab is practical conversational vocab, not just a review of random words in another language. What makes Livemocha better than Busuu.com is the multiple flashcard (which is free and you can print out) and vocab reviews that help prep you for the writing exercising and the audio exercises. You are also limited to a few languages with the free Busuu.com suscription, which is not the case with LiveMocha. You can learn many more languages for free at that site. Regardless, Busuu.com is a great place to learn a new language. To learn more about Busuu.com, click on the link below:

DA2 Escapist Article
Found this gem:
Some new information on crafting (simplified) and this quote on the VO:
Oh and one more from Destruciod: http://www.destructoid.com/bloody-gr…2-189549.phtml
Just thought I would post in case anyone was really bored :-)
Cheers for posting that. I thought it sounded promising when it started talking about there are "no chosen ones, no pawns of prophecy - just people doing the best they can on any given day." Sounds great. But then it goes right on to say "Hakwe became the Champion of Kirkwall and changed the world."
And really off-putting to me personally " That story, told in flashback by the dwarf Varric as he's interrogated by the determined Cassandra, is what will play out during your adventures." Nothing makes me groan or put me into an immediate state of boredom with a game than if it's played in flashback.
And the pace of combat has been ramped up? Are they kidding? I thought Origins combat was way too fast and unforgiving. I had to constantly pause to assess how the fight was going, and if I wanted to move a certain party member out of the fray by the time I'd taken control of them and ran a few meters out of the way everyone else was dead. It was that fast.

WH Advisory Board meeting
Dear Readers,
If only I had better news about the meeting.
The advisory board did not recommend against the Calico round-up.
When I presented your letters to the advisory board and asked if they'd nod if they'd read at least a few of them...
Only two out of seven did. A third did, belatedly, grudgingly. Did any of you see my reaction, streaming?
The good thing is, many people in the audience were just as shocked as I.
YOU did your part. I just need to find a better way to help you mae an impact.
I'll share some highlights from my notes, later.
Now it's time for a cookie.

Comments: :-0 They have to rethink about the Calico range! Its just too terrible for them to NOT do anything about it. They are ruining the beauty of wild horses. I hope they feel quilty.
Two out of...seven?o.0 Wow. That's...sad. Will they not listen to us or what?
I can't believe only 2 out of 7 actually took the time to read some of the letters. Don't they see what an important issue this is? It's not somthing quick and simple they can just say 'yay or nay' to and then move on... this sort of thing needs careful consideration because the outcome will either help or hinder the mustangs for years to come. It's sad that they wouldn't give a few minutes of their time to read the letters so many people poured theirs hearts into from all over america and the globe.
I hope they make the right decision.

Last fall, I endorsed the AllianzGI Equity & Convertible Income fund (NYSE:NIE) - $19.45 market price, $22.58 NAV, -13.9% discount, 5.8% yield - as the most undervalued equity CEF to investors based on its strong Net Asset Value (NAV) performance in its category and a relatively low yield that I thought deserved to be much higher. Throw in a proposed merger with the AllianzGI Global Equity and Convertible fund (NYSE:NGZ), a very similar fund but one with a much higher valuation and a much higher 7.5% market yield, and I felt it was a slam dunk to see a large distribution increase for NIE as the surviving fund. You can read the article here, The Most Undervalued CEF.
I've called dozens of distribution increases and decreases over the last few years in articles I've written on Seeking Alpha and I was all set to release an article alerting investors to a possibly large distribution increase for the new and improved NIE ahead of Allianz's first quarter declarations on March 7th. I thought we would see at least a bump from $0.28/share to $0.35/share, which would still be conservative considering the newly merged NIE's NAV yield was at an extremely low 4.9% leading up to the declaration. For comparison, Allianz's other equity managed CEF, the AllianzGI NFJ Dividend, Interest & Premium Strategy fund (NYSE:NFJ), a similar option-income and convertible securities fund, has a 9.6% NAV yield, almost twice that of NIE.
And yet something in the back of my mind told me that Allianz was going to miss this opportunity and I held back on releasing my article. As it turned out, my hunch was correct and after the close on Friday, March 7th, Allianz declared distributions for NFJ and NIE and kept NIE's distribution at $0.28/share.
In the scheme of things, this is not that big a deal and hardly any investors would even notice that Allianz essentially threw their old NGZ shareholders under the bus. However, for someone like myself who follows these funds very closely and who owns tens of thousands of shares of NIE, small decisions can have a large impact. I even shorted NGZ last fall not long after the NIE/NGZ merger was announced when NGZ rose to a sharp premium valuation as investors wrongly assumed NGZ was going to be the beneficiary of the merger. Sorry NGZ shareholders...you shouldn't have placed that much confidence in Allianz to do what was in your best interest.
Why A Closed-End Structure Is Advantageous For Income
Investors generally look to CEFs for income first and if a CEF doesn't offer a superior yield than what they could get in similar securities, then the fund tends to trade at a wide discount, even if the fund has had superior NAV performance. I have found that 6% seems to be the cutoff point for most equity CEFs and funds that offer less than a 6% market yield will generally have a harder time appreciating the more the current yield diminishes.
So why do high yielding funds need a Closed-End structure? Because CEFs typically use enhanced income strategies such as leverage, option-writing or other techniques that need a reliable asset base to derive their income. If investors could redeem shares like in an open-end fund, then the portfolio managers might have to sell securities to raise cash to meet such redemption demands. This obviously wouldn't work very well in a leveraged or short-option scenario which depends on its investments to derive its income.
With a CEF structure, investors can sell all the shares they want and a CEF's market price can drop to a larger and larger discount but it won't have any impact on the fund's NAV or its income and the portfolio managers can continue to manage the portfolio without fear of redemptions.
There may be other reasons why a CEF structure is advantageous for fund sponsors but it seems that any CEF that doesn't take advantage of this most obvious feature is missing out on why it went public as a CEF in the first place.
Why Does NIE Continue As A CEF?
Getting back to NIE, here is a fund that for all intensive purposes is not even using any enhanced income strategies that I can see. Currently, NIE is structured no differently than a balanced mutual fund that just owns stocks and convertible securities.
Oh sure, NIE is suppose to be an option-income CEF that uses up to 51% option coverage on its equity portion of its portfolio in conjunction with about 26% of its overall portfolio invested in convertible securities. This is shown in NIE's Fact Sheet from Allianz dated 12/31/2013.
But according to NIE's latest holdings as of 2/28/2014, NIE had only (-$7,000) worth of short options outstanding. And going back over previous holding reports for the past year, the amount of short options has continued to be minimal and certainly not even close to what the fund has historically shown.
Compare NIE's (-$7,000) single short option position to NFJ's total short option exposure of about (-$24,000,000) as of 2/28/2014 and you can see what a dramatic difference this is for funds that have a similar investment strategy of using options and convertible securities for income. Now NFJ is a much larger fund and calls for up to 88% of its equity portfolio to utilize a covered call option strategy, making it a very defensive fund, but the fact that NIE hasn't been using near the amount of option exposure it could be is interesting.
In my article last fall (link above), I speculated that Allianz may ultimately be looking to take NIE open-end or merge it into one of its similar open-end funds. I have no evidence of this but the fact that Allianz terminated one of its other equity CEFs, the Allianz International & Premium Strategy fund (NYSE:NAI) last year at about the same time that Allianz announced the merger between NIE and NGZ leads me to believe that Allianz may be looking to get out of the CEF business altogether as this would only leave its NFJ fund as the only equity CEF managed by Allianz.
So will Allianz ultimately make it up to its NGZ shareholders by taking NIE open-end? Hard to say what Allianz is planning since they are not particularly responsive to my questions. But I still feel one of two things will eventually happen with NIE. Either Allianz takes it open-end, which would mean an immediate windfall price increase as NIE's market price would then reflect its $22.58 NAV as of March 12, 2014, or Allianz will eventually utilize its option writing capability more and in turn raise NIE's distribution to a more attractive level for investors. In either case, NIE is still the most undervalued equity CEF at a -13.9% discount.
Note: NIE and NFJ went ex-dividend today, March 13, 2014 and so each fund's market price and NAV will be reduced by their distribution amount.
Disclosure: I am long NIE. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Fig. 15: Chain tensioner installed position-3.2L (DOHC) engine
Fig. 16: Apply sealant to the camshaft mounting brackets-3.2L (DOHC) engine
Isuzu has issued a recall notice for 1993-94 Troopers equipped with 3.2L DOHC engines. This is campaign number 94V-094, and involves faulty camshaft end plugs. The plugs may dislodge from the cylinder heads and can cause rapid oil loss. Remember this when ordering parts: a service kit is available for affected vehicles.
Relieve the fuel pressure:
Remove the fuel filler cap.
Remove the fuel pump relay from the underhood relay box.
Start the engine and let it run until it stalls. Then, crank the engine for an additional 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Disconnect the negative battery cable. Install the fuel pump relay.
Remove the air cleaner assembly.
Remove the upper cooling fan shroud.
Remove the cooling fan assembly.
Disconnect the accelerator cable from the throttle body and remove it from the bracket.
Disconnect the canister vacuum hose from the vacuum pipe.
Disconnect the vacuum booster hose from the common chamber.
Disconnect the following connectors:
MAP sensor
Canister vacuum switching valve (VSV)
Exhaust gas recirculation (VSV)
Intake air temperature sensor
Ground cables
Disconnect and label the spark plug wires.
Remove the ignition control module assembly with the spark plug wire attached.
Remove the four bolts to separate the throttle body from the common chamber.
Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the throttle body.
Disconnect the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) hose from the common chamber.
Disconnect the fuel pressure control valve vacuum hose from the common chamber.

Remove the oil cooler hoses and bracket.
Remove the timing belt cover.
Align the timing marks
Remove the timing belt auto tensioner (pusher). The pusher prevents air from entering the oil chamber. Its rod must always be facing upward.
Remove the timing belt.
Remove the cylinder head covers.
Remove the camshaft pulley.
Remove the camshaft front plate.
Remove the camshaft mounting bracket bolts.
Remove the camshaft chain tensioner bolts.
Remove the camshafts with the timing chain and tensioner attached.
To install:
Install a retainer on the chain tensioner to prevent the plunger from moving. Remove the retainer after installation.
Apply sealant to the cylinder head mounting surface of the front and rear camshaft mounting brackets.
Apply clean engine oil to the camshaft journals, lobes, and sprockets.
Install the camshaft assembly with the chain and tensioner. Take care not to install the wrong tensioner, the left and right tensioners are different and they are marked accordingly. Make sure the timing marks on the camshaft chain sprockets are aligned with the timing marks on the chain links. Torque the camshaft holder mounting bolts to 87 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
Install the chain tensioner. Torque the bolts to 14 ft. lbs. (19 Nm).
Install new camshaft seals and retaining plates onto the cylinder. Tighten the rear camshaft seal retaining plate 6mm bolts to 70 inch lbs. (8 Nm). Tighten the front camshaft seal retaining bolts to 65 inch lbs. (7 Nm).
Install the camshaft pulley. Hold the camshaft with an open ended wrench to prevent it from turning and torque the pulley bolts to 41 ft. lbs. (55 Nm) for 1992-94 vehicles, or 46 ft. lbs. (63 Nm) for 1995 vehicles.
Apply sealant to both sides of the front and rear camshaft mounting brackets and install the cylinder head cover(s). Torque the bolts to 69 inch lbs. (8 Nm). Don't overtorque the bolts, as the head covers may crack.
Install the timing belt.
Install the timing belt auto tensioner. Torque the mounting bolts to 14 ft. lbs. (19 Nm).
Install the timing belt cover.
Install the oil cooler hoses and bracket.
Install the crankshaft pulley assembly. Torque the center bolt to 123 ft. lbs. (167 Nm).

Connect the vacuum booster hose.
Connect the air vacuum hose.
Connect the accelerator cable. Adjust the accelerator cable by pulling the cable housing while closing the throttle valve and tightening the adjusting nut and screw cap by hand temporarily. Now loosen the adjusting nut by three turns and then tightening the screw cap. Make sure the throttle valve reaches the screw stop when the throttle is closed.
Install the cooling fan assembly and the upper fan shroud.
Install the air cleaner assembly.
Connect the negative battery cable.
Start the engine and check for fuel leaks.
See Figures 17, 18 and 19
Fig. 17: Measuring camshaft lobe lift
Fig. 18: Measuring camshaft run-out
Fig. 19: Measuring camshaft straightness
Using solvent, degrease the camshaft and clean out all of the oil holes. Visually inspect the cam lobes and bearing journals for excessive wear. If a lobe is questionable, check all of the lobes as indicated. If a journal or lobe is worn, the camshaft MUST BE or replaced.
If a journal is worn, there is a good chance that the bearings or journals are worn and need replacement.
If the lobes and journals appear intact, place the front and rear journals in V-blocks and rest a dial indicator on the center journal. Rotate the camshaft to check the straightness. If deviation exceeds 0.001 in. (0.0254mm), replace the camshaft.
Check the camshaft lobes with a micrometer, by measuring the lobes from the nose to the base and again at 90° (see illustration). The lobe lift is determined by subtracting the second measurement from the first. If all of the exhaust and intake lobes are not identical, the camshaft must be reground or replace.

Religion is a crutch for weak people (idea)
Return to Religion is a crutch for weak people (idea)
[Organized religion] mostly likely came about to fill a void in human [societies]. The void was most likely a workable [paradigm] for daily life and human [interaction]. This, as I see it, is the base level.
The way to [enforce] the life and interaction paradigms, to me, seems to be [dragging one's spirit or soul into the mix]. "This is what your spirit is and this is where you came from and this is where your spirit is going when you die so this is how you have to live" seems to be the most common feature in religions. As soon as a person first loses someone in their life to [the reaper], the religion is put to the test. The individual's level of comfort with the prescribed afterlife will forever alter their relationship with the religion. In the vast majority of religious texts I've read, or religious ideas I've been exposed to [superficially], the [bait] seems to be the promise of the afterlife spent in [paradise], whether or not you have to go through several [incarnations] to get to that point.
It is slightly [ironic] to think that one of the key factors in the [social evolution] of our species (that is, [the idea that you must behave yourself or your spirit will suffer long after your corpse has expired]), has gotten us to the point where we can contemplate what exactly it is, and to [deny it should we see fit].
Thusly, religion can be perceived as a crutch for the entire human species. Whatever your position is on the subject of religion, the fact is that your forebearers most likely subscribed to the ideas they were presented by their local [clergy]. This altered their standing in their communities, influenced their [migration patterns], and has by and large built [the wonderful fucked up patchwork quilt that is humanity today].
As an aside, I choose to walk my own path and let my spirit figure it out. I believe each [holy book] is a piece of the overall puzzle. But it is important to note that each of us, after our puzzles are all put together, will see a different picture. Just [food for thought].

Smg cog light after car wash???? Can water be a factor?
Hello guys I'm new to the forum although I've spent countless hours reading many threads posted. Despite reading literally 30 SMG cog light problem posts, I've still felt the need to start this quick thread. So some background about the car, It's a 2004 e46 m3 convertible with an SMG transmission and 95000klms on the clock. About a month ago I had the cog light come on and the car was dropping in and out of gears, We replaced the gear selector sensor And the relay This fixed the problem. (Thanks to this forum Just yesterday I washes the car in the driveway after quite a spirited drive And about an hour later left for a journey Of course when I started the car my SMG Cog light was displayed Although absolutely no driving problems whatsoever for about an hour's journey through peak hour traffic the whole time the light on. After reaching my journey when I turned on and off the car the light was gone. The car was used for a small seen in a movie and was driven forwards and backwards about 30 times without another single problem or the SMG light been displayed. I drove it All the way back home with no I have no problems. I have booked in to see my local Indy who fixed the sensors but My main question is has anyone had any similar sorts of problems related to water issues or something along those lines And is this even a feasible thought?
Many thanks

While Flotsam and Jetsam's relationship with Elektra Records was rather short-lived, they were fortunate enough to sign over to an imprint of comparable magnitude in MCA for its followup to No Place for Disgrace. I can remember this as being one of those 'make or break it' moments for a thrash band in the later 80s. They had the momentum, they had the musicians, and they were coming off a fan favorite debut and an even mightier sophomore, so When the Storm Comes Down was essentially projected to become the band's Master of Puppets, a goal that was sadly not met at all. This was met with a lukewarm at best reaction, and I'd say that, despite the band's continued slot on the rosters of decent labels, this was more or less the beginning of their sink back into obscurity...
Not that the music here sucks by any means, but there are certain faults in the production that do the rather adventurous writing little justice, and a few stupid songs that mar the remainder. I wasn't the hugest fan of the mix on the previous album (my favorite), and things seemed to only grow worse here, though arguably it falters in different ways. Erik A.K.'s stringy, melodic vocals feel too pinched and tinny in the mix, an unwelcome contrast against the meatier production of the rhythm guitars which were akin to ...And Justice for All or Persistence of Time. A lot of the curious little spikes of melody as in the verses to "6, Six, VI" just felt as if they were lingering far too much in the background, behind even A.K. in potency, and the funkiness of Troy Gregory's bass lines on this album, which show no lack of fluency and creativity, still came off rather flat. Not to mention that there was one song here, "No More Fun" which was a little too 'funky' for its own good, like Infectious Grooves or something and adjoined with goofy guitars and weird druggy lyrics alongside the bouncy pace. The drums are also just 'meh' in the mix.
On the other hand, there was no shortage here of decent and effective riffs that constructed themselves into some mildly memorable songs. Again, while I don't like the blaring funkiness of the bass tone in "The Master Sleeps", it's pretty well structured with those dense thrashing rhythm guitars and melodies that would thrill fans of mid to late 80s Metallica, Testament and so forth. "Suffer the Masses", while not a favorite, is definitely a well written mid paced head banger in which Knutson belted out stronger melodies, even if the backing vocals in the chorus were lackluster when leveraged against the soaring guitar lines. "Burned Device" is also a pretty solid performance from Eric over the glinted acoustics of the intro, and at 6 and a half minutes it has a lot going for it, while pieces like "October Thorns" and "E.M.T.E.K." are also effectively incendiary and show some thought in their own architecture.
However, even these are not quite good enough to scale to the summit of excellent achieved with "No Place for Disgrace", "Hammerhead", or the rebellious "Hard On You", and unlike the second album, I found that one shed a bit of its resonance with subsequent listens. Not to mention that "No More Fun" is a hands down dumb idea, and the closer "K.A.B.", one of those dorky acronym tunes from the 80s which is like 28 seconds of repeating the same vocal line 'Kill all bastards' is neither interesting or particularly humorous. It should be an unwritten law that you can not feature two acronym songs on your album! But beyond that, When the Storm Comes Down is too clean, and too polished in general, and the nasal vocals and imbalance of muscular thrash riffs and melodies really threw me off and continues to do so over 20 years later. Fans of the more progressive West Coast speed/thrash records like Heathen's sophomore Victims of Deception or Mordred's first two efforts Fool's Game and In This Life might want to check this out for its comparable creativity and tone, but for myself this was the opening chapter in a long stretch of mediocrity from a band I had very high hopes for.
Ohw, how this album was bashed back in the day. Not always entirely justified I should add. There were really some good songs to be found here. But I can imagine when being used to 'Doomsday' and 'Disgrace' this album didn't live up to expectations.
'The Master Sleeps' and 'Suffer The Masses' are excellent songs. Not always as fast as their old material, but still strong compositions and two of the best songs on the album. The best song however is 'E.M.T.E.K.' which is a power ballad in the vein of 'Escape From Within' (the 'Fade To Black' / 'Welcome Home' type of Metallica songwriting).
The real trouble starts with the production. I do not know what exactly happened but the album sounds like shit. There is absolutely no cohesion between the instruments. The guitar sound is simply awful and the drums are really flat with an annoying reverb. This lack of good sound becomes most obvious on the up tempo parts of the album. A song like 'Deviation' in essence is a good groovy thrasher but is ruined by the horrible production.
Also because of this sound (drums and guitars don't match) the voice of Erik falls out of place and at times he also sounds uncovinced. Which is quite a shame since he normally fits in so nicely in their music. But here, it all fails. The addition of some groovy parts and weird effects also damages the over all continuity and intensity of the album, leaving us with a very inconsistent album that has a few highlights making it still worth to own. (but I still hope the band would one day re-record or re-produce the whole damn album!!)
One thing needs to be made clear about this album when justifying the pointage, so here goes.
The song "Suffer the Masses" absolutely totally fucking rules in every way imaginable. I have never and would never give an album I am aware of a perfect score, but gimme an album with ten songs that somewhat resemble this song and a few others like, say "Revolution Calling", "Aces High" "Blackened", "Painkiller" and "Kill on Command" (better stop there), and I may very well consider it. No, there can never be such a thing as a "perfect" album - but the stuff that "Suffer the Masses" is made of for ten songs straight would probably be well enough to deserve the SCORE 100% anyway. Man, I'm such a critic.
Ok, so the newscast thingy in the beginning is a bit cheesy; the production is kinda off, with the guitars being over-distorted enough to make Will Rahmer proud; the vocals badly lack any sort of balls or attitude - meaning, that this isn't exactly material for a supposedly "perfect" album by definition - but thanks to that one total destroyer of a main riff, the song is made an instant classic, no matter its shortcomings. The groove riff to end all groove riffs. That is all there is to it. Yes, the chorus is really fucking cool too and the way the awesome melodic verse alternates with the monstrous main riff is also to be commended, and more...but that's beside the point.
And as you may have guessed, that is by far the best song on here. That's the most frustrating aspect of this band right there, on every album I've heard from them. For every album I've heard by them, they seem to have this certain quantity of killer songwriting and either inject it all into ONE song that is made legendary, or spread it all out more evenly across the whole album. Unfortunately, it's never enough good material to form an ENTIRE solid album, and this time around, they resort to throwing in heaps and heaps of uninspired, awkward, disjointed bullshit for the sake of sounding "experimental", or just because they've run out of good ideas, or something. Yes, the rest of the album...actually, this very album is a bit in-between the two "options", because a few other songs on here hint at genius too, occasionally.
What we have here is mostly some sort of thrash/power/groove mix that, when at its most heavy and straightforward, reminds me a bit of Overkill or Anthrax' trademark 'Among'-like mosh sections, while the more melodic and almost power metal parts, occasionally, bring Metal Church to mind. However, this isn't a "traditional" thrash album in any sense, complete with the "usual" stuff like gang vocals, thrash breaks, choppy technical riffage, and cannot really be compared to the 80's power/speed metal sound of, for example the epic Fates Warning, or the fist-swaying, "rocking" aggression of Running Wild, or the happy-fun bouncy vibe of Helloween...well, maybe the "robotic noise" middle section of "Future World". It's just that incredibly disjointed at times. Really, most of this album cannot be compared to anything else out there...and that's mostly where this album fails, sorry to say.
Honestly, other bands probably just weren't stupid enough to write shit like the entirely meaningless verse of "6, Six, VI" that is completely devoid of direction or focus, or the Simon & Garfunkel-like harmonized chorus of "Burned Device". This whole song goes through a lot of silly ideas and drags on for over six minutes...but some really schweet ideas are buried somewhere in there too, like the catchy thrash-groove main riff that is total Overkill worship, and some vocal lines that are just plain fun. "When the wolves start gathering 'round my...door!" There are LOTS of great vocal lines everywhere on this album, but as I said, the vocalist still leaves a fuckload to be desired...he would oh-so improve on the follow-up. The second best on here is "October Thorns", and quite a highlight it is...yet another groove-thrasher, except this one sticks with solid riffage in a straightforward fashion without resorting to random stupidity, yet sounding very original at it. A fucking amazing solo in this one...yes, the lead work on the whole album is well above average and yet another highlight...but again, the songwriting does quite frankly really blow at times.
Oddly enough, the WORST part of this album is when it speeds up - it does not work at all then. Especially not with this production; it is completely horrible, because the guitars are just far too fucking downtuned and quite often over-distorted, making it sound like a parody of a typical untalented garage thrash/crossover band trying to play as fast as possible more than anything else. Damn, come to think of crossover, the fast parts do actually sound like D.R.I.'s 'Thrash Zone' gone wrong, and the riffage turned weak. I think this production was attained with the album's straightforward, "steady-pace" parts in mind, to make them sound heavier or something...but as I said earlier, even The Highlight Song sounds pretty much ridiculous with it. I can't believe this is the same Alex Perialas behind the amazing-sounding 'Oppressing the Masses', released the same year.
Otherwise, it's all about the groove, all of the time. Not Machine Head, but inevitably boring after a while. Sacred Reich. A handful sections are really fucking great, a goddamn heapload is just stupid and disjointed. Bland. Uninspired. Again; boring. Well, as almost every song has a certain little share of genius, it would feel wrong not to point out a few more highlights..."E.M.T.E.K." has a pretty interesting idea going in alternating with the oddly timed acoustic verse and the somewhat catchy and upbeat groove riff...then "Greed" features yet another excellent vocal line in "I'm young, smart, smooth talkin', no one can-ah bullshit me!". Overall, however, both songs lack identity and true memorability, not much unlike the rest of the album.
Still arguably worth it for The Highlight Song alone...but take that one away from the album and I could very well go as far as detracting nearly half the pointage. Most of the time there is at least enough decent "fun" going on to prevent me from *entirely* losing my attention, and also having such an original and extremely distinct sound (not production) such as this is always to be commended - but an ineffective, disjointed mess it is anyway, and probably *because* of that, actually. MEDIOCRE.
Thrash metal has never been the most forgiving genre when it comes to experimentation, and as an experiment, 'When The Storm Comes Down' is somewhat inconclusive. There are successes ("The Master Sleeps", "Suffer The Masses", "E.M.T.E.K"), failures ("Deviation", "No More Fun", "Scars") and the inconclusive (the rest of the album).
Let's start with the positive. Flotsam And Jetsam had a reputation of delivering clever, thoughtful thrash, with the odd trip into the land of mozzarella and Parmesan. Opener "The Master Sleeps" delivers everything a fan could have hoped for. While it is instantly apparent producer Alex Perialas totally fucked up the guitar sound, the main riffs to the song are such that it does not detract from the fun. The drums are high in the mix, especially the snare. Perhaps best of all, Eric AK has toned down his shrieked vocals. The lyrics are ambiguous, ready for the listener's own interpretation.
"E.M.T.E.K" is a little tune straight out of the Twilight Zone. What is the government up to when they test medicines on citizens, and why is my skin turning green? There is excellent use of loud/soft dynamics, to emphasise the important parts of the song. Acoustic to electric and back again, this particular experiment about experiments is highly effective.
For those who are too young to remember, or weren't paying attention at the time, 1989 was a particularly turbulent year. The Berlin Wall fell, Communist regimes all over Europe were overthrown, the USSR split, and the Tianimen Square massacre occurred in China. Flotsam and Jetsam were definitely paying attention. The introduction to "Suffer The Masses" is a cut up of news clips and sound bites from that memorable year. It starts the mind racing before the music begins. Rather than a full on thrasher like "The Master Sleeps", this song rumbles along, heavier because it's slower. Thematically, the lyrics explore freedom and the lack of it in thought and action under an oppressive government, and has a chorus to die for.
Here endeth the good bits. The rest of the album is uneven and unsteady. The band seemed determined not to just turn out "No Place For Disgrace Part II", and avoided playing the Thrash they did so well. At the time of recording, the beginnings of the mercifully short–lived funk metal scene were starting to emerge, so slapped bass and thin staccato guitars feature on a number of tracks. It becomes particularly annoying on "No More Fun" because it is so badly done. The songs also seem to touch base on just about every late 80s Thrash cliché around. The left wing sociological opinions on "Burned Device", "Deviation", "October Thorns" and "Greed" become tiresome. The anti–Evangelist rant of "6, Six, VI" (hmm… wonder if Slipknot are Flotsam and Jetsam fans?) and the environmental rave of "Scars" are cheesy fillers. It is all topped off with the fun but silly full–on Thrash out of "K.A.B.".
The awful production accentuates the negative on this album, which is a shame. There are still a lot of excellent riffs to be found, and Troy Gregory proved once and for all he was a more than worthy replacement for that other bloke, whoever he may have been, as a bass player and song writer. Some of the material has not aged well, but this is a document of a band trying something different within the confines of a restrictive genre, and failing heroically.
Whoo. When my friend first popped this album in since she had just bought it as a blind purchase from a bargain bin, I had no idea what to expect. Most likely boring paint by numbers thrash. But instantly it hit me, this was thrash, and maybe average to most, but the riffs were just knocking my socks off the entire time. I enjoyed every song, and just when I thought it couldn't get better, it did. This is mostly due to:
THE RIFFS. Holy hell they are catchy, same kind of style a band like Pro-Pain would use for an instant hook. Only difference is a riff is never played too long as song will always keep you interested in what's next or if the kick ass riff you just heard will come back around. Just like any good thrasher.
THE BASS. Yes. They really nailed it here with superb production and a thick bass tone that is right with every mammoth riff. Excellently played and the album uses this to maximum potential.
The only negative of the album would be Eric A.K.'s fucked up voice. At first I thought I'd have to deal with an Agent Steel/Helstar kind of wailer, after hearing the big entrance scream in The Master Sleeps (i think that's track 1) but eventually he calmed down into a better than average thrash vocalist. Granted he would get MUCH better on the next album, but here he is tolerable thanks to the excellent music. If you dig F&J, GET THIS.

The supersession of madder by aniline dyes has, indeed, for a time almost ruined the small farmers of Vaucluse.
It marked the rise of a new teaching order and the supersession of the old.
This, I submit, is an artificial scheme in supersession of Nature's unit, the individual.

Oklahoma experienced a record year of WNV activity last year; 178 cases of WNV were confirmed among Oklahoma residents, including 15 deaths.Persons of all ages can be affected by WNV.During 2012, cases ranged in age from 1 to 93 years (median: 59 years).No cases of WNV have been reported this year to date.
"Although we cannot predict the severity of this year's WNV season, it's important for everyone to know the highest risk months in Oklahoma for WNV exposure occur from July through October," said _____. "We urge everyone to start protecting themselves now against mosquito bites."
Among the precautions to take against mosquito bites are the following:
WNV is spread through the bite of the Culex mosquito, which feeds on infected birds and then transmits the virus when biting humans, horses, and some other mammals. Symptoms of WNV include sudden onset of fever, headache, dizziness, and muscle weakness. Long-lasting complications can include difficulty concentrating, migraine headaches, extreme muscle weakness and tremors, and paralysis of a limb. If one or more of these symptoms develop, especially after suffering mosquito bites within the previous two weeks, a health care provider should be contacted. Persons over the age of 50 are at greatest risk of developing severe neurologic disease from WNV infection. Some of the neurological effects of WNV may be permanent or fatal.

Santos chief executive David Knox concedes the oil and gas group will become an increasingly appealing takeover target now that the bulk of the capital spending on its massive $US18.5 billion Gladstone liquefied natural gas venture has happened.
He takes it as a compliment that Santos is on the radar of offshore predators, and says the removal of a 15 per cent shareholder cap in late 2008 has turned the company into a proper "commercial animal" open to the full forces of the market.
Santos is the operator and holds a 30 per cent stake in the GLNG project, which is 72 per cent complete and on track for start-up in 2015. It is one of three competing major projects on Curtis Island off the Queensland coast where more than $60 billion is being invested in LNG projects.
The risks for offshore predators biding their time as the major capital spending profile shifts further into the past is dissipating. Mr Knox says he's not concerned about the speculation that Santos will be firmly on the radar of offshore oil and gas majors as GLNG heads closer towards start-up.
"I'm pleased we're on the field of play,'' Mr Knox told The Australian Financial Review's BOSS magazine in an interview to be published on Friday.
"My focus is on getting all of these projects delivered. That's going to drive our share price,'' he says.
"The fact that people are looking is a compliment," Mr Knox says.
The GLNG project is a joint venture between Santos and three global giants, Petronas, Total and Kogas.
Mr Knox says he's also frustrated at how slowly Santos has had to proceed in its NSW coal seam gas plans after running into a political and community storm following the $924 million acquisition of Eastern Star Gas in 2011.
"It has taken a lot longer and it has been a lot more challenging than we envisaged,'' he says.
Santos acquired Eastern Star Gas as a foundation to increase its domestic gas supply into NSW from CSG wells in NSW as some of the Cooper Basin gas that NSW has traditionally relied on is diverted in the future to LNG exports, to bolster the main supply source for the Queensland LNG project of CSG wells in Queensland.
Mr Knox warns that it is important to get NSW gas supply going in a timely way so that the company can keep gas prices under control.
"If we can't get supply going then I am worried that it will get more expensive,'' he says.
The maximum shareholder limit of 15 per cent being owned by any single shareholder in Santos was put in place in 1979 by the South Australian Government to stop corporate raider Alan Bond making a full-scale takeover and to protect natural gas supplies for SA, was removed in late 2008. Mr Knox says it was important in changing the internal psyche of Santos.
"It was important for the company to become a normal company. One that was open to the full test of the market. One that is an entirely commercial animal''.
As part of the removal of the shareholder cap, Santos and the South Australian government signed a deed stretching out for 10 years to 2018 which included a range of sponsorships and community commitments and guarantees about SA-based jobs at the company.
One of the flagship sponsorships is the Tour Down Under cycling event which attracts international attention. Mr Knox, a keen cyclist himself, says he felt ''massive disappointment'' last year when the drug scandal around Lance Armstrong emerged. Armstong had been a major drawcard in a comeback to cycling in the 2009 Tour Down Under. Mr Knox had met Armstrong on several occasions as part of the Tour Down Under, and says he felt gutted when the scandal came out.
"I think like a huge number of other people, just massive disappointment,'' Mr Knox says when asked how he felt about it.
"He let down a huge number of people,'' Knox says.

A West Australian police officer has pleaded not guilty to six counts of raping a female officer.
Senior Constable Sean Joseph Doyle, 31, denied each charge of sexual penetration without consent.
The incidents allegedly occurred in the northern Perth suburb of Innaloo on March 7.
After entering the pleas in the West Australian District Court this morning, Judge Jane Crisford bailed Doyle until his next appearance in February 2005.
The senior constable has been stood down from all duties with the WA Police Service pending the outcome of the case against him.

As a journalist, I am sometimes called upon to deliver bad news, so brace yourself: You no longer live in the center of the Car Universe.
From the 1908 Ford Model T to, oh, about three years ago, Americans enjoyed total automotive hegemony. The U.S. was not only the globe's largest personal-vehicle market—almost 17 million light-vehicle sales a year at its peak in 2005—it was also an unrivaled global tastemaker. From tail fins to SUVs to rims to plug-in hybrid electrics, U.S. auto makers and consumers have led the way. European and Japanese auto makers set up design studios in Southern California to study the habits of the inscrutable Yankee, with his Big Gulp and third-trimester belly. Proud companies sold their souls to seduce American car buyers. A Porsche sport utility (Cayenne#, a Honda pickup #Ridgeline#, a Ferrari with cup holders. Nothing was sacred.
Now China is the dragon in the room. As of 2009, the country is the world's largest light-vehicle market #sales in 2012 are estimated at more than 18 million, compared with about 14.5 million for the U.S.), and the fastest-growing. The prediction blithely bandied about here at the Beijing International Auto Show was an annual car market of 30 million sales by 2020. Meanwhile, the premium-car market is, well, erupting is the only word, with predictions on the order of 15% to 20% annual growth for the next decade. Western car makers, frantic to get their hooks into China's young and affluent, are rushing into joint ventures with Chinese interests as fast as the ink can dry.

As a political game, of course, it is entirely fascinating. Anyone, with any knowledge of the
history of the Americas, will understand why (say) Correa is sympathetic to Assange: the US has for decades run roughshod over its southern neighbors, often with no regard for human needs and rights. So when Assanger pokes a sharp stick in the eye of the US State Department, no one should be surprised that some people will naturally cheer: that natural reaction is, to reuse a famous phrase, "chickens coming home to roost"
Still, the constant bullshit, orchestrated by Assange and his supporters, does us all a real disservice, because it drowns out informed intelligent conversation. It seems to me quite likely that Assange could have cleared up the Swedish matter quickly a few years ago, had he not been so set on proving to everyone that he could get away with being a gigantic asshole
The most harmless telling of this story would be: Assange had unprotected sex with several woman who had consented to protected sex and who thereafter wanted him to undergo some STD testing; he was uncooperative in this regard, and the women took some of their dissatisfactions to the police; while the Swedish authorities were trying to schedule a follow-up interview with him, through his lawyer, he fled to the UK and refused to return to Sweden for the follow-up interview. But once outside Sweden, he made sure to be much in the press sneering about Sweden's "revolutionary feminism" and piously lamenting the tiresomeness of the various women he had recently been schtupping in Sweden -- behavior which, by any adult standard, should be regarded as thoroughly caddish. After several months, the Swedish authorities tired of the charades and took out an international warrant against him. At this point, Assange's surrogates began a full-fledged defamation campaign against the Swedish complainants (one of who alleges behavior considered to be rape in any modern jurisdiction, such as Australia, Sweden, the UK, or the US), claiming without evidence that the women were effectively US agents. Sweden successfully litigated its warrant through the UK courts, including Assange's appeals, and Assange thereupon dropped his appeals, refusing to appeal his case to Strasbourg
"Susan Benn of the Julian Assange Defense Fund" is certainly welcome to persist in her beliefs that the Swedish authorities should interview Assange in the UK, just as the Swedish authorities are welcome to persist in their beliefs that Assange should return to Sweden to be interviewed there; the difference between these views is that the view of the Swedish authorities has prevailed in the UK courts and that the loser, Assange, decided not to appeal his case further, to Strasbourg. All this is therefore irrelevant as res judicata
So, where are we now? The establishment in Ecuador is mocking the sexual crimes allegation, according to The Nation article linked in the prior post: perhaps finally chivalry really is dead. And, once again, we hear the constant claim that the Swedish warrant is a subterfuge, masking a planned US extradition, likely to lead to Assange's torture or death? That seems unlikely because the Swedish courts are constitutionally isolated from political influence, but let us examine what the UK courts said:
"... There was at one stage a suggestion that Mr Assange could be extradited to the USA (possibly to Guantanamo Bay or to execution as a traitor). The only live evidence on the point came from the defence witness Mr Alhem who said it couldnt happen. In the absence of any evidence that Mr Assange risks torture or execution Mr Robertson was right not to pursue this point in closing. It may be worth adding that I do not know if Sweden has an extradition treaty with the United States of America. There has been no evidence regarding this. I would expect that there is such a treaty. If Mr Assange is surrendered to Sweden and a request is made to Sweden for his extradition to the United States of America, then article 28 of the framework decision applies. In such an event the consent of the Secretary of State in this country will be required, in accordance with section 58 of the Extradition Act 2003, before Sweden can order Mr Assanges extradition to a third State. The Secretary of State is required to give notice to Mr Assange unless it is impracticable to do so. Mr Assange would have the protection of the courts in Sweden and, as the Secretary of States decision can be reviewed, he would have the protection of the English courts also. But none of this was argued ..."
City of Westminster Magistrates Court (Sitting at Belmarsh Magistrates Court)
The judicial authority in Sweden -v- Julian Paul Assange
Findings of facts and reasons
That is, not only did Assange choose not to argue this in the UK courts, his own witness told the UK courts that it was impossible!
Meanwhile, Baltasar Garzon is shrieking about a US grand jury:
... WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's defence lawyer says his client, seeking asylum in Ecuador, is in a state of limbo because of secrecy from the United States over the charges it may pursue.
"We anticipate those charges, but do not have any information from the US as the grand jury proceedings are secret - and therefore the charges are secret," Baltasar Garzon, the Spanish former judge who heads Assange's legal team, said on Friday.
"If charges are secret, (Assange) is completely helpless" to plan how to answer the allegations made against him, Garzon told reporters in Quito ...
Secretive US keeping Assange in limbo: ex-judge
August 4, 2012 - 8:47AM
I must confess that I have admired Garzon from afar, ever since he ruled against Pinochet, but here he exposes himself as a vacuous blowhard. Cogent criticisms, of our Federal grand jury process, do exist, but Garzon's comments are foolish and ignorant: the comments show that Garzon has been brought on board for purely political reasons

| Review of
The Sadomasochism of Everyday Life: Why We Hurt Ourselves-And Others-And How to Stop by John Munder Ross.
by Non-Famous Lauren
This is a disappointing book that starts off with an interesting question. Unfortunately, the author doesn't take advantage of any but the most superficial concepts of modern, consensual sadomasochism. While I am sure the author has something credible to say on the subject of his patients, his intention of looking to "sadomasochism" for some answers is handicapped by outdated, narrow, and unstudied views of what modern BDSM is like. By failing to do more than pay lip service to the modern view of what consensual sadomasochists are like, the author misses an opportunity to discuss his own question in a deep way.
The primary question the author asks is: What do we do in our everyday lives that undercuts or does damage to our own best interests, and what can we learn from studying sadomasochism about how people might sometimes come to get pleasure from things that hurt them? Excellent question, in my opinion, and there is probably a great deal to be learned from studying this.
But the author has not done it. Instead, despite a weak attempt to be more broadminded, he lumps together those who are pathologically sadomasochistic with thoughtful adult practitioners of consensual sadomasochism. Never mind that the DSM-IV no longer classifies consensual BDSM as necessarily indicating a psychiatric disorder. The author notes this with lots of his own skepticism, and then quickly rolls out the theories of Robert Stoller:
How does the author's desire to treat consensual sadomasochists exactly like pathological sadomasochists lead the author astray? In his chapter titled "Sadomasochistic Perversions," the author sets out his only description of (modern consensual) BDSM. To his credit, he has read Different Loving, and he summarizes a basic overview of BDSM for the readers of his book in an accurate but very brief section (pp. 115-117). (Though his skepticism of its recent legitimacy in the DSM shows through in such clipped remarks as "Acts of debasement, they say, are really expressions of love" [p. 116].)
The author's then proceeds to claim that "As cultists, sadomasochists have dignified certain texts as classics." The majority of the chapter is then devoted not to any further discussion of real life practices of BDSM, nor even to any case studies of individuals who do BDSM in real life (to parallel the several case studies he follows throughout the book illustrating everday problems). Instead, he devotes the chapter to an analysis of Justine, the Story of O, and Venus in Furs. These are works of fiction! And they are depictions of nonconsensual sadomasochism, to boot! Yet the author makes much of the fact that one of the women in his case studies, who undercut herself in everyday life to the extent that she required his ongoing psychoanalytic care, was "riveted" by and drawn deeper into her problems after witnessing a movie version of the Story of O. This, he implicitly argues, illustrates canonically how even consensual sadomasochism really influences people in the same ways as pathological sadomasochism!
Of course, those fictional works are as distant from the real life practice of BDSM as pornography is from the real life practice of vanilla sex! That doesn't seem to deter the author in his desire to define sadomasochism according to either the pathological forms described by Freud, Stoller, etc., or the "classics" of fictionalized fantasies that people, BDSM and vanilla alike, read or view for casual entertainment. It's as if a Martian came to earth and then reported back to Mars about ordinary sex lives based on the "classic" works of Henry Miller and Nabakov's Lolita.
Once the author gets past this absurdity and sticks to just elaborating on the history of psychoanalytics, describing his patients' errors and obsessions -- how they could improve their lots and break the cycles of self-destruction they are in (from which all of us can learn) -- the book is fine as light reading. So long as I remember to put the word "pathological" in front of "sadomasochism" every time he uses the term, to remind myself that he has not in any way drawn anything from studying real-life BDSM, I can agree with many of the points he makes.
And I enjoyed Chapter 7, which described Freud's changing theories of childhood sexual development, including the concept of moral sadomasochism, which the author suggests as the term for everyday acts of sadomasochism. The theory of the childhood frustrations that lead to this condition are, of course, untested; but there were several suggestive ideas that I found intriguing.
Although the author doesn't manage to support the case, I happen to agree with the author that those who stay in jobs or marriages they hate, or repeatedly get involved with wife-beating spouses or accept verbal abuse from their bosses or spouses, indeed exhibit characteristics that are possibly perverse forms of experiences that people doing consensual BDSM sometimes desire and seek to experience. The difference is that those in BDSM do so with forethought and negotiation, often after considerable introspection and amazement about how they do not behave that way in everyday life. Many submissives have powerful jobs where they are financially and professionally successful and would walk out in seconds on a spouse who ever laid a hand on them or denigrated them nonconsensually. Many doms are gentle, courteous neighbors, spouses, and co-workers, far more self-restained than the average person lest they hurt or disturb the peace of the vanillas they deal with daily. But this book just doesn't get close to finding the reality that people who do BDSM puzzle about in themselves.
What I hoped the author might do when I read this book was for him to ask three questions: 1. What can we all learn from comparing and contrasting pathological sadomasochism, consensual sadomasochism (BDSM), and moral sadomasochism (everyday sadomasochism) about the causes of moral sadomasochism and how to root it out when you catch yourself undercutting your own best interests? 2. What can we all learn from (healthy-enough) consensual and moral sadomasochists about ways to avoid harming oneself or others in every day life? Even if we all have a bit of the sadomasochist in us (which the author argues to be the case), what are successful ways to keep it in check so that it does not cause harm to oneself or others? 3. What are the similarities -- and differences - in childhood experiences that contribute to people's developing into the various kinds of sadomasochists? Is it a question of degree or of kind of experience?
But the author dropped the ball. Ho hum: another typically misguided psychology book for the popular press. I'll just keep waiting for that book that does actually address some of these questions.

Hearing Relative TimingThe WRONG Way to Schedule Notes) This Applet trys to play two parallel sequences of steady notes. One is twice as fast as the other. The fast one plays a four note sequence and the slow one plays a two note sequence.
It uses the relative timing technique from the previous page which is prone to timing drift and late notes.
To Do:
- Move the window around but don't resize it. Move other windows around on your screen.
- Notice how bad the timing is. If you are on a really fast machine it may not be so bad but it sounds awful on my mine.
Here is the source code for this program.

Hillary, after dipping in the polls post-Iowa, "came back" to win, which was what had been predicted for months.
Hillary 39%
Obama 37%
Edwards 17%
RIchardson 5%
Kucinich 1%
John McCain, saying he's too old to be called a kid, regardless of the preceding adjective, said, "This is what a comeback looks like."
McCain 37%
Romney 32%
Huckabee 11%
Giuliani 9%
Paul 8%
Thompson 1%
And under the excitement of the horse race, which is now very wide open, we have the questions Bev Harris and others have been asking about the trustworthiness of the voting system, with one person in charge of 80% of the vote counting in NH.
Former Olympics exec Romney spun his loss as "another silver."
Huckabee was gleeful for coming in third ahead of Giuliani, who pulled 9%, barely edging out Ron Paul, who pulled 8%.
Richardson pulled 5%. Kucinich and Thompson pulled 1% and Gravel, Dodd, Biden and Hunter pulled zilch.
Women desserted Obama for Hillary. Students and under 30s didn't come out in NH like they did in Iowa for Obama.
Did Hillary's moment of tears help, in spite of the corpsestream media's attempts to "Howard-Deanize" it?
