Hexatonic Scales
Even though scales constructed from 7 and 5 notes are the most common, scales can be constructed from any number of notes. Hexatonic, or six-note scales, are probably the next most frequently played.
The Country Scale
The country scale is any major pentatonic modal scale with an added m3 interval.
For example, the C major pentatonic scale is
The country scale is
The Eb is usually played as a passing tone, meaning it's quickly played as a transition between its neighboring tones.
Here are the two C Country Scale patterns:
The Green Position requires the use of "ALV" pedal combination, though it may be easier to use a bar slide in this case.
The Yellow Position requires the RL lever. If you don't have that lever, use a bar slide to get the required Eb.
Pedal Locations: THE COPEDENT
The Blues Scale
If we take the minor pentatonic and add a minor fifth harmony in the scale, we get the blues scale. So take the A minor pentatonic (A-C-D-E-G-A) and add an Eb in the scale and you have the A blues scale. The m5 note is also played as a passing tone in this scale.
The minor pentatonic is also called the Blues scale, since it is used so much in that genre, but it's used extensively in rock, country and other genres as well.
Here is that scale on the instrument in two positions:
Again, it may be better to use bar slides to get the required minor fifth note.
Pedal Locations: THE COPEDENT
The Hawaiian Scale
After the Country and Blues scales, the Hawaiian is one of the more common Hexatonic scales. Here are all the notes of the Hawaiian scale at positions 3 and 8:
The Hawaiian scales is like the A melodic minor scale with the fourth note (or D) removed. Because the Hawaiian scale is based on the root note "A" in these examples, we call it the A Hawaiian Scale.
Here are the positions with only the notes between root notes shown:
Here is the notation for the Hawaiian scale. Remember, if you don't have any of the pedals required for any of these scales, use the diagrams to find the appropriate bar slides to use.
Pedal Locations: THE COPEDENT
There are literally dozens of other hexatonic scales, as well as pentatonic and heptatonic. Upon mastering the basic scales contained in these pages, you will find a many more interesting scales out there, some of which have never been tried with the steel guitar.

Terminally ill woman receives wedding wish
Mon, 07 Jul 2014 18:31:52 GMT —
A terminally-ill Flint woman married her long-time fiancé this past weekend in Flint.
30-year-old Jennifer Hutcheson of Flint has been fighting esophageal cancer for five years. Her last wish was to marry Allen Korth.
The Michigan chapter of Wish Upon a Wedding help make the ceremony possible. The non-profit works with couples when one of the people is terminally ill.
The wedding took place at a home in Fenton. Originally the wedding was supposed to be held outside, but was moved indoors because of the heat.
Hutcheson was told that she has two to six months to live in February.

A quartet of admitted Republicans addressed about 25 visitors to the Menifee/Perris Democratic Club in Menifee on Thursday night, and it quickly became clear the city's recently passed $23 million budget may become a focus in the campaign for seats on the Menifee City Council.
Mayoral candidates Scott Mann, who lost his seat on the council in 2010, and Councilwoman Darcy Kuenzi were part of the panel that also featured Councilwoman Sue Kristjansson, who is running in District 1, and District 3 hopeful Bill Zimmerman.
It was one of the first forums of the campaign season ---- featuring four of at least seven candidates expected to be in the race ---- and Mann immediately brought up the city's budget.
"You may not be aware that your current City Council just approved a deficited budget on June 19," Mann said. "In the staff report, the budget has expenditures in excess of revenues by $800,000 in the general fund and expenditures in excess of revenues by $2.3 million in other restricted funds.
"This council has gone on record by a 5-0 vote that deficit spending is OK with them and that means drawing down on the reserves. It's not OK with me and I'm sure it's not OK with the voters of Menifee."
Kristjansson and Kuenzi took exception to Mann's assertion, saying they passed a balanced budget with a reserve equal to about 25 percent of the general fund.
"That's unheard of among cities," Kuenzi said, praising the city's financial solvency. "We have a balanced budget."
Mann reminded her that when he left the council two years ago, the reserve equaled about 32 percent of the general fund.
All five candidates expressed views on topics that included the budget, homelessness, affordable housing, code enforcement, and growth vs. no-growth.
"I don't think we should stop growth," said Zimmerman, who chairs the city Planning Commission. "That would be irresponsible. Instead, let's continue to grow and make it the best we possibly can."
Zimmerman also wants to build a Holland Road overpass across Interstate 215 to improve the city's traffic flow.
Kristjansson specifically addressed issues in District 1, which includes most of Sun City west of the freeway.
Among them were landlords taking advantage of renters, and home-care workers not doing their jobs or even abusing Sun City's senior citizens. She also has her own ideas on what the city's future should be.
"The bottom line is that it's all about businesses, amenities and recreation," Kristjansson said, adding that more are needed to make Menifee a better place.
Mann pushed for a senior advisory group much like Riverside County's Council on Aging. He also vowed that he would continue "to be a fiscal watchdog for the taxpayer and prevent future budget deficits."
Kuenzi, who with Mann was elected to Menifee's first council in 2008, referred to herself as a "team player" and a "problem solver." She also addressed comments about a council that often seems divided.
"I'm committed to this community, and I'm not interested in running for higher office," she said. The City Council members are not going to agree all the time, she continued; "because of that, I'm OK with all the 3-2 votes."
Only about half the candidates running for the council appeared at the forum. Democratic Club President Chuck Ruetter said the others will be invited to speak at the club's next meeting in September.
Among them will be Carol "Red" Sullivan and Greg August, who will oppose Kristjansson in District 1. Sullivan watched from the audience at the Thursday forum, held in the Provident Bank Community Room.
Also absent was Councilman Wallace Edgerton, whose candidacy has not yet been approved in his run for the District 3 seat against Zimmerman.

I hired Eve to consult with me on ways to landscape a large open space in front of my new mountain home. She researched fire, bear, and weed (thistle) issues and came up with a concept drawing that should be firewise, low maintenance and lovely. Eve clearly knows the plants of this area -- native and invasive! She was a joy to work with.

Eve and crew are great. She has a great eye for landscape design and her choice of plants for our country garden was inspired. Her crew works hard and efficiently, and everyone is so pleasant to work with. We recommend her wholeheartedly.

Eve is a pleasure to work with, and oh so talented. Plants and creating beauty with plants and spaces is her passion, and it really shows. Her crew that works with her is efficient and pleasant. Eve's mastery in gardens is all over town, and her newsletter is educational and fun to read. Give her a call if you are considering beautifying your gardens!

It was a pleasure to work with Eve and her team. It has become increasingly rare to find someone who is so prompt and does the work as it was discussed and agreed upon. Eve was very responsive, completed the project just as it was envisioned and maintained the budget we discussed. Her thoughtful recommendations made for a very pleasing project.
Sept. 18, 2011
Although I have always enjoyed reading Eve's column in 'Colorado Country Life', I knew immediately after attending a presentation given by Eve that I wanted her to design a comfortable, calming outdoor space that would result in minimal maintenance yet display long term beauty.
She created a design with Eric Lewis of Canyon Landscape that incorporated sizable boulders, a beautiful walkway, seating wall and a space to display our existing fountain.
We absolutely love the space that was created and the choice of xeriscape plants that enhance the natural beauty of Colorado.
It was a pleasure working with Eve and the results have exceeded our expectations in every way.
June 25, 2011
Eve is knowledgeable about plants, invites questions, shares stories and is very personable yet unassuming.
June 22, 2011
Very much enjoyed learning lots more in a short time on my own backyard, Vallecito lake trail. Thanks so much!!
Eve is very knowledgeable & professional in her guidance. Learned a lot!
Gardens by Eve cleared an overgrown landscaped area in the rear of the BuzzTown offices and did an excellent job. After the work was completed, there was a whole patio I didn't even know was there! I'm looking forward to seeing it mulched and blooming in the next phase of things. Good job, Gardens by Eve staff!

I've had my 6S for about two months, the front air dam hangs very low, I'm ultra-careful and have almost scraped it 3 times, you need to be very aware of where the front end is anywhere near curbs/curbstones. Ditto for the 50 series tires- there is almost no sidewall to protect the wheel spokes from encounters of the curb kind. We haven't had much snow (yet) in the Northeast, but based on what I'm hearing about the lack of grip from those Michelins you wouldn't want to drive the car in snow deep enough to come over the air dam anyway, unless you put on snow tires. I have an auto V-6 and was willing to sacrifice some on the gas mileage to have the V-6; if you are considering a stick you might be happy with the four. With an auto the four is barely adequate. The V-6 does run perfectly fine on 87 octane, I've been averaging about 22 mixed but this should improve as the engine continues to loosen (2200 mi as of now). Overall, I'm extremely happy with this car, and yes, you will love the hatchback- it was the deciding factor for me. Happy Zooming!
I just bought my Mazda6 5-door approx 1 month ago- I love it! My last car was an '01 Saab 9-3...though I like the looks of the car, I think the most impressive part of the car is the interior.
Regarding your 2 questions:
1) I haven't had a problem w/ ground clearance, nor do I expect it to be a problem
2) V6 vs V4...I can't answer that because I did not test drive the 4 cyl
By the way...I bought mine in silver with all the bells and whistles- leather, auto trans, moonroof, bose upgrade (worth the money)
Just a couple of shopping days left until Christmas... avoid the holiday crush and join us for an evening of automotive chat and good cheer!

vinspeed6s Posts: 1Hi,
I purchased my Mazda 6s five door, 5spd man. last August, just recently broke 4k miles( I have a 94 Accord I drive daily to work). I too am expercing trouble with the clutch,(Shudder, Judder).Please, if anyone knows of any TSB's - please post!
I just purchased an 04 Mazda 6 5-door with the V6 engine up in New Hampshire. After driving the car home I noticed that the space behind the rear passenger tire and the wheel well was very tight. I could barely get my finger around the tire. I just took the car into the dealership (Talarico) and they said that there was no problem with the car and that the 3/8" +/- spacing was adequate. I guess this is where the gas tank is located. My big concern is that if I run over something and it gets stuck in that area it can cause hazardous damage to the gas tank and the tires will not last. If I decide to throw a large oven (for example) in the trunk the entire frame will go down and the gas tank will hit the tire. I think this is a real hazard and wanted to know how I could find out what the federal regulations are for spacing between the tire and the wheel well.
Also, if you guys can check your cars and tell me if you are concerned with this as well. The dealer told me that no one else has mentioned this problem.
Also my gas mileage is horrible. I am getting about 17 mpg. Will this improve?
I recently purchased my '04 Mazda6 5-door in November....prior to that, I was driving an '01 Saab 9-3...to help answer your question, yes- the space btw the tires and the wheel well is tight (I have to measure it, and will post shortly)....but w/ 17" wheels, I wouldn't expect it to be less...when I owned my Saab, it only had 15" wheels, and the space btw the tire and the car was very noticeable ... usually cars w/ 17" tires have little room in btw themselves and the body of the car...take a close look at most Corvettes, BMW's,etc....
That said- I know nothing about Federal regulations regarding space allocation btw tires/ car body....I personally am not concerned about this, nor have I ever heard of anyone mention this sort of thing.
Regarding gas mileage....I drive approx. 30k annually, and compared to my Saab 9-3, I do find myself filling up more often...I cannot quote you the mpg, but (without knowing what you used to drive)...I would guess that you are experiencing less mpg than you are use to getting...that said- from my point of view- I am very pleased with the quiteness and performance of the engine...and I think the extra couple of bucks/per week for this in gas expense is worth it....another point to consider- most (if not all) cars with this type of performance normally require Premium fuel- so though you may not be getting the mpg you expected...feel good about the fact that you are saving approx $0.20/ gallon by needing not to put Premium fuel into your 6.
All that said- how do you like your car overall?....I don't miss my Saab for a minute- the leather is much better, along w/ my auto climate control, and BOSE stereo...love to hear you thoughts too.
I've had my 6S out in the snow a few times now; no problems with smaller tire clearance and snow buildup (I kick off the clumps behind the tires just the same as on our Expedition). Handles snowy roads suprisingly well for performance tires, too. Gas mileage another issue- I have 3K miles and am still averaging 22 mpg mixed, no straight higway measurement yet. Most of the other sport sedans I tested were turbo's (and more expensive) and need premium (also the Acura TSX which requires premium and is a very nice car, BTW). The .20/gal difference helps compensate for the mileage, and hopefully the long-term durability of the V-6 (with its timing chain vs. belt on most I-4 turbo's) will be another benefit. I am still hoping to get up to 24-25 mixed as it loosens further but questioning now whether that's realistic. Love the car otherwise and 0 problems so far, also tight as a drum, no squeaks/rattles/etc.
Thanks for the reply. I have seen that there haven't been too many others raising this issue, but it just concerned me. I will just keep an eye on the wear of the tire.
before the 6 I was driving a 1998 nissan Maxima and was considering buying a new Maxima, but decided to go with the 6 instead. My 98 Max required premium, however, the 05 maxima I was looking at only required regular. I was getting better mileage from the 98 maxima and didn't understand why I was only getting 15-17 mpg on the 6. Hopefully as I drive it the mileage improves.
I do miss my Maxima at times. Other than that I like the car and enjoy driving it. leather is good, space for rear passengers seems ok, (however, my kids keep kicking my seat). Love the traction control.
The only other things I noticed is that the rear defrost seems to take a long time to defrost the windows and my front wipers seem flimsy (had wipers replaced by dealer once already).
After a lot of research and number-crunching I bought an '04 Mazda6 S 5-door about three weeks ago; my first-ever new car purchase. Previously I drove an '87 VW Golf GT 4-door (231,000 miles on the odometer when I donated it to a non-profit last week). I wanted another good-handling hatchback, but reliability issues drove me away from a new VW purchase for now. My Mazda6 5-door is glacier silver, V6, 5-speed manual, charcoal cloth interior, and major options include the moonroof, side/curtain airbags and the Bose sound system. So far I'm really pleased. I've driven approximately 1,000 miles and averaged about 26 mpg combined city/hwy driving. I live in Colorado and ski frequently, so I purchased a set of four aftermarket 16-inch alloy wheels and winter snow tires (slightly higher profile tires than the stock 17-inch Michelins). I haven't had any problems with snow build up in the wheel well with the 16-inch snow tires. I am a little concerned after reading about the clutch shudder issue. The clutch on my car doesn't shudder, but its engagement/disengagement (particularly in reverse) is not as smooth as it could be. Well, happy motoring, fellow 5-door owners!
First of all, great choice for a new vehicle. I myself learned how to drive on an '87 Golf GL 4-door, and was to inherit it for my 17th birthday, but it was totaled a week before. Oh well...
Good choice buying snow tires, I don't know what I'd do without mine, especially since I live in Upstate NY (lake-effect snow country). Anything is better that the OEM 17-inch Michelins! I bought steel wheels and 16-inch Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2's, and have actually enjoyed driving in the snow and ice ever since.
As far as the clutch shudder is concerned, since you only have 1000 miles, you have nothing to worry about, it's barely broken in. I've heard from some owners that the clutch take-up point sometimes varies, and it's hard to start off smoothly, especially when it's cold. I've noticed it happen once in a great while to my car, but after 6500+ miles, it's either gone away, or I've gotten used to it.
The one thing that annoyed me when I took ownership of my 6 was the engine revs during a shift. Because of emissions issues, when I upshift, the engine revs actually increase 500-1000 RPM for a split-second, before dropping down as I engage a higher gear. I know it's emissions related, but I don't know if only Northeast U.S. cars do it (due to California emissions laws, which NY and a few other states follow), or if all manual tranny cars are burdened with it. As with everything else, I've gotten used to it, but it was a little strange at first.
Welcome to the club, lefthandman! Zoom-zoom!!
Your comment about the wipers caught my attention....the 1st thing I noticed when I took delivery was that they are flimsy (it started raining the moment I pulled off the lot)- did you replace them with the same wipers?- any change?
Thanks for the comments & greeting, mz6greyghost! The slight clutch vibration I've noticed only happens backing out of my garage in the early a.m. on cold mornings (temp. below approx. 20 degrees F). I hope you're right and it doesn't worsen and/or develop into a major problem. The 231,000 miles on the '87 VW were all on the original clutch (if you can believe it!), so it's not as though I'm unfamiliar with a manual tranny and proper clutch operation.
I also considered steel wheels but decided to spend the extra bucks on some alloy rims for the winter tires since I tend to keep vehicles quite awhile (15 years for the VW). The snows I bought are Yokohama IG10 Ice Guards, similar in tread design to Bridgestone Blizzaks. They're relatively quiet and smooth-riding considering the aggressive tread design, and they do really well in the snow and ice here (Colorado).
Regarding the wiper comments, I replaced the original equipment wipers with some winter blades from CarQuest (their brand) and have been much happier with the wiper action ever since, if that helps. Zoom-zoom!
I'm amazed your only getting 15-17 mpg, I've never got less than 20, even with some enthusiastic driving. Do you drive it hard most of the time?
mz6greyghost - The split-second increased engine revs you refer to between shifts may be, as you surmised, due to California & certain New England-state emissions requirements. I haven't noticed that happening with my Mazda6 here in Colorado.
sstrz1 - I second fitguy's comments - my mileage has averaged just above 26 mpg, combined city/highway driving in the first 1,000 miles (odometer had 4 miles on it when I took possession of the car). But I haven't been romping on the accelerator during the engine break-in period either. My Mazda6 has the V6 and 5-speed manual tranny.
I think we have my mileage comments confused with someone else's....no- my mileage isn't that poor (15-17)- I calculate it next week (I believe it is btw 22-25)...again, my expection is not high, because I am often driving btw 70-85 mph on the NJ Turnpike each day...plus I do use my "manual" shift often to pass, including dropping it to 4th gear when going over 65mph.
slickdog Posts: 225The engine in my wagon acts differently on the 4-5 shift. When the engine isn't fully warmed up, the tach drops immediately after I disengage the clutch, just like it does for all the other shifts. When it's warmed up, it does one of two things. If I start to release the accelerator just before disengaging the clutch, the tach floats for a second or two before dropping. If I release the accelerator and clutch simultaneously, the tach spikes, floats for a second or two, then drops. Judging by the sound and feel of the car, the tach seems to represent the changes in engine speed fairly accurately, so this is not just the result of a flaky tach.
This only occurs during the 4-5 shift. On every other shift the engine speed drops almost immediately after the clutch is released. I'm not sure why the engine would not behave this way for just the 4-5 shift, any ideas? Do any of you experience the same behavior? I'm getting used to this by now, but what I don't like about it is that if I'm not paying enough attention to time the engagement of my clutch just right, it slips too much. In my opinion, the 4-5 shift should be the easiest, not the most difficult!
You're right- it was another post. I often brouse the forum while working at the computer and get distracted. I was very close to buying a G35X (and spending 9K more than the Mazda) but after reading about the awful gas mileage (15-16) on premium, plus other issues people were having with the G, I decided against it. That extra 9K is paying for a family trip to Disney next month, with lots leftover! Thanks, Mazda!
Glad to hear your purchase of a 6...I walked away from an '01 Saab, and was "worried" about not having a European sedan- call me a snob I guess!...I didn't feel like spending $30k+ again due to the high mileage I put on my car (30k/ year) plus 2 kids and my wife's $35k recent car purchase.
For the money- I am very pleased w/ my Mazda...it feels "richer" than it is...though I like the exterior appearance, I wish it was "toned down" some...looks a little too young- (can't believe I said that- I must be getting old!)
Good luck w/ your purchase.
Browse the Volvo V40 forum if you would like to experience brand snobbery- all kinds of rationalizations as to why you should spend thousands more for a Mazda 3 with a Volvo badge!
I was also a little concerned with the "too young" image- my 6S is Volcanic Red! My wife paid for a chunk of it so she was allowed to pick the color; I've never owned a red car. Took a while but now I really like it- it stands out in a crowd and definitely turns heads!
johnny2003 Posts: 24Be glad you didn't but the 05 Max, traded in my 03 SE (loved it) for an 05 SE. Been in the shop five times for a vibration, they can't fix, with only 1300 miles on it.
Weighing my options for lemon law, and looking at the 6 5 door as a possible option.
sonnydaye Posts: 10In the Dec. 04 issue of Consumer Reports where they rate Wagons and SUV's they say:
"The Mazda 6's reliability has dropped below average". They don't mention any specific reasons. Anyone know any specific issues? Previous Mazda 6's (thru '03 anyway) got a good reliabilty rating from them. Thanks.
I like the look of my 20004 mazda 6 (bought it in December), that is why I choose it over the 05 maxima. But the wheel well issue, the horrible gas mileage I am getting and the poor performance of the windshield wipers is making me wish I went with the Maxima. And worst of all i noticed a chip on my windshield last week and when I started driving the window cracked all the way across the windshield.
Also it seems like my engine is louder than my previous car. And the ACC is aggravating.
Keep the maxima. I wish I purchased the maxima instead of the 6. I will at least keep the 6 for a while and see how it is after a few thousand miles.
Sorry to hear about your dissappointment....couple comments:
1) horrible gas mileage- I am getting 23/ gallon..which is fine by me (I drive approx 30k annually)
2) wipers- replace the blades and you'll be ok
3) crack in windshield- it happens, but doesn't make for a bad car
4) engine noise- what did you use to drive? I had a '01 Saab 9-3, which was much louder than my v6 Mazda
5) ACC- mine works fine- just press the ACC button, set the temp to 77 degress (as recommended in the manual), ignore the fact that the a/c light is on, and you'll be fine
6) '05 maxima vs mazda6- if the price of both (same equipment) was the same- I too would have bought a Maxima....but based on my low APR/ $3000 cash back/ near invoice cost....I went with the 6
The NHTSA has issued a recall for certain 2004 Mazda6 models. According to the website, it only affects 190 vehicles, so chances are you aren't affected. It has to do with the locking mechanism on the rear seat belts. If you need more information, go to www.nhtsa.dot.gov, click "Recalls Search From Office of Defects Investigation (ODI)" found in the middle of the page. For the NHTSA campaign number, type the following: 04V582000. It will give you the details of the recall, as well as numbers to contact Mazda and the NHTSA.
Good luck...
grahamb Posts: 45The "wheel well issue" isn't an issue. I'm on another mazda6 message board with lots more people than this one, with people who have had their cars since they first came out and no one has had a problem with the wheel well.
THe mileage rating on the 2005 Maxima is 20/28 and for the 2005 Mazda6 is 20/27. hardly a big difference. Obviously in the real world those number vary greatly. If you're getting around 15 mpg it is probably a combination of your driving style and the fact that it is a new engine. After a few thousand miles your numbers will increase.
What do you find aggrevating about the ACC? I never touch mine. Leave it at 77, as another poster mentioned, and that's it. Maybe nudge it a few degrees one way or another depending on how my passengers feel.
I believe you said you are from NH...chips can easily turn into large cracks in the cold weather. Nothing to do with the car.
As for the engine noise, did you not drive the car before you bought it? There is definitely some engine noise when you really get on the gas, but most people think it sounds nice. Maybe if you are hearing that throaty "growl" a lot, it could explain your poor mileage.
Lastly, the Edmunds TMV on the Maxima seems to be about $7K more than I spent for my "similarly equipped" (obviously that is not possible since the maxima does have some more features and a larger engine) 2004 6S Hatch back in May. The altima is more the direct competitor.
suydam Posts: 2,934I would have to agree with grahamb's comments. I dearly love my '01 Maxima but posts on the Maxima boards indicate a lot more owner discontent with the newer Maximas than with the M6 (all versions). I don't have a problem with most of the things that bother the earlier poster except for the gas mileage, which is surprisingly worse than my Maxima even though they're rated the same. I consistently get at least 3-4 more miles per gallon in the Max than in my M6. I am hoping that this will improve as I put more miles on the car-- I only have 3500 miles on it now. Also, I bought the car just as we went into the winter driving season, whereas I got my Maxima originally in the summer when gas mileage is better. Other than the mileage, I love my M6! Just acquired a second dog, and it's a wonderful dog car. I have the wagon with the dog net. I do not allow dogs in my Maxima!'14 Buick Encore Convenience

Thanks for your reply
1) I drive half what you drive (15K) and say about 30% highway and 705% city. I am barely getting to 16 mpg. My 98 maxima was getting around 20 or so.
2) I know i should replace the wipers but feel like i shouldn't have to on a brand new car. Will probably replace them soon, i can hardly see out the window when it rains or snows.
3) crack is just luck and it just annoyed me, and has nothing to do with the car.
4) I has a 98 maxima and comparing the 2 side-by-side the mazda idles louder and the engine is not as responsive as the max. I don't like the lag when I hit the accelerator.
5) actually the front and rear defrost is what's bothering me. when the rear window is iced up it takes about 10 minutes to defrost it. my maxima was a lot quicker. hopefully the snow and cold weather ends soon.
6) the 04 mazda 6 was fully loaded (leather, moonroof, 6 cd, etc) and went with the black leather interior on the 6 and looks real nice until it gets dirty. The 05 maxima Se was the base (with the cloth, cd, etc), bigger/better engine. basically the monthly payment would have been the same on both cars.
ericzoom Posts: 213I drive half of what you drive(about7.5k)and i get about 20-22 mpg combined C/H. That seems to be about average from what i've been reading in other forums. As far as the wipers go,i agree with you. They sucked pretty bad when i bought my car also. Even getting new refills didn't seem to do much. What i finally did was bend up very slightly the wiper arms and that seem to solve the problem.
I've learned to live with the lag,just using the manu-mode seems to help alot.
The new Maxima is a nice car(ugly as hell IMHO),but except what you have and try to overlook some of these common annoyances.

Our friend and taper extraordinaire Justin Marinoff has joined the Hidden Track Team to write a column about taping. His first few columns will focus on the basics involved in recording live music. If you have any questions about what you read, be sure to leave a comment after the post with 'em.
Have you ever wanted to jump into the taping community but felt deterred by expenses, work and time involved in the hobby? When I began taping concerts in 1998, I had no equipment. I find the simplest way to get into the scene is start befriending people in this hobby, "tapers." I became friends with a taper who sold me my first pair of microphones, a microphone stand and cables for $300. At that point, I just needed a recorder and I was ready to start taping live music.
[Marantz PMD661]
If a fan approached me at a show and asked how to start this hobby, I would simply tell them, "Start by buying a pair of microphones and a small hand-held recorder that are within the means of your budget." To choose the microphone and recorder that is right for you, you'll need to test them. There are many different avenues for testing the equipment. You can go onto www.archive.org and listen to recordings from tapers who own different types of microphones and recorders to compare the sound. Another option is to rent equipment from a local rental house. Both options I have practiced and are very helpful.
There are two different types of microphones that I would suggest for a first time taper. If the taper wants to use only one microphone, I would suggest the American based microphone called the Audio Technica (AT8022). The AT8022 features two condenser microphones in one small housing unit. It consists of a capacitor with one plate fixed and the other forming the diaphragm moved by sound waves mounted in an X/Y configuration that produces an accurate stereo image. This microphone is powered with external power or a 1.5v AA battery and lists at $319. However, I would recommend the Russian based Oktava MK-012 for use of two microphones. The MK-012 is a compact high quality condenser microphone that is constructed of a cardioid or "heart shaped" pattern. These microphones use the type of sound pickup patterns described by the Cardioid. Sound is picked up from the front of the microphones and, to a lesser extent, the sides as well. The wide, flat response ensures that all sounds are captured in the condenser with a high degree of accuracy. A single MK-012 will usually cost $295. To achieve true stereo effect for this style of microphone, you would want to use two microphones on one stand.
Once you choose the microphone style, you will need to select a solid state recorder that has XLR (external, line and return) inputs. An XLR is a plug and socket used in professional audio equipment, lighting controls and other applications. It uses a balanced connection and locks into the socket. The XLR input supplies 48 volts of power to the condenser microphones. In terms of value, the Marantz PMD661 is the best recorder on the market, priced at $649. The Marantz PMD661 is a professional quality stereo field audio recorder. It uses high quality internal pre-amplifiers that provide gain without causing distortion to the microphone signal. Once the music begins, the audio files are recorded as WAV or MP3 on SD or SDHC flash cards at rates up to 24 bit/96kHz. Keep in mind; all recorders are capable of recording at the highest quality, rate and resolution of the data. The amount of data that is sampled in one second is referred to as bit rate. The PMD661 is capable these high quality recording functions you want as a beginning taper.
[Oktava MK-012]
These microphones and recorders are for the basic start up taper. Look for my next column that covers pre-amplifiers as well as analog to digital converters. Until then happy taping!

Nice a taper article! No mention of the holy grail of taping, the best resource available, taperssection.com? I really like your recommendation for the Audio-Technica, they are one of my favorite brands, though I don't usually think of Japan as American based…. nice article….

I've always wanted to get into taping but without becoming a slave to the taping process. My ideal situation involves a simple set-up in a small club on which I'd hit "start" at the beginning of the show and hit "stop" at the end of the show – I don't want the taping to take away from my normal live music experience. I've noticed the live music videos I take my $120 camera have pretty decent sound, so I wonder how some of the small all-in-one recording devices would work. Do you know anything about these devices, such as the Zoom H2n ($158) or Tascam DR-05 Portable Digital Recorder ($96)? I bet hardcore tapers probably turn up their noses at such devices, but I love how small, [seemingly] simple and relatively cheap they are. Anyone ever use one of these handhelds?
December 2, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Great article! I've been thinking about starting to tape some of the shows I go to and this is getting me even more excited about it. I definitely don't have the money to go out and buy the mics and recorder yet, but I'll save up! Thanks again and keep em coming.

Thanks for the comments. I would like to personally respond to each one of you individually and has asked Scott, the editor in chief, for your emails. Please keep in eye in your email box for my response shortly.

Justin I noticed that you would record with digital. I am starting with recording with Nakamichi 550 live shows without the sound board strait to tape. Im not sure if you have anyone you know or if you can give me a little guidance.
Justin has been a long time friend I met thru the taper community. I started taping in the mid 90's, using just my analog SONY D-5 recorder. I would rely on the kindness of others to get patches. Over the last 18 years I have made many lifelong, dear friends thru this wonderful community of people. I switched in '02 (I still miss my D-5!) to a Marantz CDR, bad move, had lots of problems. Then went to an M-1 dat and now use the Edirol r44. I do hear the same complaint from folks about why they dont tape, that it takes away from the musical experience. I would argue that it enhances it, making you pay even closer attention. Taping is not for everyone, you have to get there early, leave later and protect your gear from the drunken masses, but, in the end, going home with an excellent recording that you can share with the world makes it all worthwhile.

text: NEW YORK—A profanity-laced quote from comedian Chris Rock in the latest issue of Newsweek was successfully bowdlerized, leaving subscriber Liz Haines with no idea what was meant by the sanitized non-word "f*ck." "I'm baffled," Haines said of the creative censoring. "In the article, Mr. Rock is quoted as saying, 'To be honest, I don't give a f*ck what my critics say.' Fick? Fack? Fpck? What did he say? He could have said just about anything." This week, Newsweek will be awarded a special citation by the Center For Family-Friendly Media for ingenuity in hiding offensive words from readers.

text: After nearly a week locked in by fog, Alexandra Stiglmayer reports that the Tuzla airport was busy today with the roar of huge Air Force C-130s landing and taking off. "They began coming in this morning at about eleven," says Stiglmayer, "and were still arriving this evening. More than 20 flights came in today, most of them carrying equipment. The planes landed, soldiers rushed out, unloaded them and, in less than ten minutes, they were off again." Stiglmayer says that two of the flights carried troops from the 325th Infantry who will provide airport security. "One sergeant told me how happy he was to be here," reports Stiglmayer. "`We've been waking up at two and three every morning for the past four days, getting on the plane, flying to Tuzla, circling in the fog, then heading back home,' he said. `It's good to be here.'"

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
I had an old debt that was 27 dollars from bmg music from like 6 years ago. I recieved a letter from national credit solutions today saying i owed 138 or something like that. I was aware of this unpaid collection being on my experian only because of truecredit.com showing it from months ago....since i recieved this letter today does that mean they will begin to report it to equifax and transunion? I called them to see if they would do a pay for delete but they give me some spin about not legally allowing them to put in writing that they would delete the file once it was paid. I told them without that i won't pay in full but will dispute it. My concern is the collection showing up on the other reports...since experian is my low score it isn't of immediate concern but i can't afford to have it show up on the other reports because i'm trying to get a mortgage by september. They also said once i paid they would delete it after i disputed it but i think they were lying...they said they report only to experian and transunion but its not on my transunion report...please help
any advice would be greatly appreciated
Never believe what is said on the phone. Do not even bother to call a CA.
Check your state to see if a CA must be licensed or bonded in your state. If so are they? If they do not have a licensed then they can not legally report or collect.
EQ has some rules that must be followed. One of them is that a merchant card can NOT report on EQ. I do not know if they have anything to deal with CAs.
If they can report in your state then mail a DV CMRRR.
If i may ask what is a dv? and the other abbreviations? and how would I go about checking to see if they are licensed in my state. Also this was one of those buy 6 cds's for the price of one deal that was made in 2003 how can they know if it was truly me if my ssn was never asked for...just my name and address which anybody could get from say a phonebook. And will it appear on my tu report if it wasn't there before?
thank you for your response i appreciate it

I don't believe a license is required in nj per this forum
You said this is approximately 6 years old. You need to determine the exact dates, because looks like in New Jersey you have a 6 year period statue of limitations (across the board).
So basically if the debit is greater than 6 years old, they can pound sand! Remember, at year 7 it comes off anyhow, so we may be only talking a few months.
Secondly, you mentioned 2 different amounts. While both were relatively small, they were about $100 difference. That's a no-no according to the FTC.
Debt collectors may not:

I was a dumb idiot in college who signed up for bmg's service not realizing i had to buy another cd from them. The original amount says 27 but i guess with the interest over the years it may have grown. i can't remember the exact date i did this but i'm certain the debt was bought by other companies over the years but it could have been as early as 2002 and as late as 2004 but i believe it was in 2003...i will do the dv cmmr once i realize exactly how to do the cmmr part. I believe if they don't respond within 30 days i can use this as evidence to dispute and they have to remove it i believe.
I just hope it doesn't show up on my transunion as its only showing up on my experian as of right now, i'm afraid the letter coming in is a sign its going to show up on my transunion which as of right now is my middle score is 622 and right at the point where i can qualify for a mortgage by september...
God's blessings to all of you who can help me

BHS softball: Bemidji opens subsection play with two wins
The Bemidji High softball team rolled into the North sub-section final Tuesday, beating Moorhead and Brainerd in its first two games at the high school field.
Brainerd and Alexandria will play the 2 p.m. game tomorrow with the winner to face Bemidji at 4.
Should a third game be needed, it will follow at 6.
The situation is the same as last year when Bemidji beat Brainerd and Alexandria in its first two starts, only to fall twice to the Cardinals in its next two games to be denied advancement to the section meet.
With a year's experience and a much stronger attack, Bemidji is looking for better days tomorrow.
Bemidji took its opener 6-4 over Moorhead in a game not that close. It followed with a 5-1 win over Brainerd.
Brainerd had handed Alexandria a 3-2 setback in its opener. The Cards came back to beat Moorhead 14-4, ending the Spuds season.
Bemidji received strong hurling from Paige Jensen in the opener and Chelsea Yost in the nightcap.
They backed that pair with 22 hits, 12 for extra bases.
Jensen took a one hitter into the seventh in her game before yielding four runs on a grand slam by Chelse Heide.
The winners had runners on base in every inning.
Brittany Thompson's double and a single by Megan Gullickson sent home a run in the second.
Two more crossed in the fourth when Gullickson singled, scored on Erika Weimann's double and Weimann rode home on Amber Teal's three bagger.
The key inning was the sixth when Yost doubled and scored on a a sacrifice fly.
Teal's double ended Heide's stay on the mound.
Steph Johnson relieved to yield a single to Kaia Sele and a double to Meg Claypool for a 6-0 lead.
At that time, then outcome appeared academic.
But Moorhead fought back. Its leadoff hitter reached on an error and a walk and Katrina Kott's single filled the bases.
Heide unloaded them with a blast over the center field fence.
But Jensen settled down and retired three of the final four batters on ground outs, working around another error.
Jensen reached 6-0 fanning four and walking one.
Claypool, Emily Larson, Gullickson and Teal had two hits in the12-hit Bemidji attack. They included seven doubles and a triple.
Yost in control
Yost dominated the second game. She fanned six and walked none in gaining her 10th win.
Bemidji gave her a run in the first when Claypool singled and scored on Jensen's double.
The Warriors got it back in the second when an infield hit was followed two outs later by Dani Theisse's single to left.
Bemidji countered with two in the third on singles by Sele and Claypool. A hit batter and Yost's two-run single up then middle.
She worked out of a bases loaded, one out situation in the fourth. Bemidji wasted a leadoff triple by Weimann in the last of the frame.
But it added two in the sixth on Yost's single, a double by Gullickson and a bunt single by Sele.
Yost set down the final nine batters she faced to win going away.
Steph Lambrecht had two of the Warriors four hits. Sele, Claypool, Yost and Gullickson all had two for Bemidji with three doubles and a triple included in the 10 hit attack.
The sweep upped Bemidji to 18-2 on the year.
Yost will get Thursday's start hoping to close out the meet in one game.
Moorhead 000-000-4---4--3--1
Bemidji 010-203-x---6--12--2
Heide, S. Johnson (6) and H. Johnson
Jensen (6-0) and Gullickson
- - - - -
Brainerd 010-000-0---1-- 4--0
Bemidji 100-101-X---5--10--1
Anderson and Gramer
Yost (10-2) and Gullickson

George Strait, 'I Got a Car' [Listen]
George Strait's new single 'I Got a Car' is another easy love story, just as he's done dozens of times before. It's a circle-of-life adventure revolving around a car, presumably the same car in each verse. Expect nothing out of the ordinary from this track from the 'Love Is Everything' album.

Spoiler alert! If you have not read Hourglass and/or Afterlife and do not wish for parts off the amazing books to be spoiled please do not read ahead!
And also sorry if this chapter is a little 'rough' I wrote it over night and hope you still enjoy it!
And I'm really sorry if it's too long just thought it would be interesting to write all this...
Randulf's POV:
I looked over at my dear friend Vic and sighed, he was so young so naive. It made me sad to see him as he was... I looked at Balthazar as I knew he was about to talk to both of us.
"Hey, guys. I have an idea." Obviously killing them is out off the question—"
Vic cut him off, "Why would you even think it was on the table to start with?" He sounded mad.
I then cut in, "Gentlemen, if we are to get past this we must unite. We must not fight!" I was proud of myself for not sounding as if I were still in ye' olden days.
They both looked at me, I could see that Vic was now realising that I was right and sighed.
"Okay" They said in union.
I smiled at myself and my small victory.
Balthazar continued with what he was saying before, "as I was saying," He started, "I know that killing them before they awake is out off the question, so we need a good supply of animal blood to supplement their thirst when they awake. That's why I was about to say I know of a place down town."
I was surprised he did not want to destroy them; he must have known what new vampires where like when they'd been recently changed.
"What do you mean?" Vic asked, as I sighed.
"It's a butcher in the lower paid suburbs off town; they sell animal blood as a side business. They don't ask what you're using it for, and don't really care too much."
I smiled; maybe everything was going to be okay after all, Balthazar seemed to know what he was doing.
He cleared his throat as he continued, speaking mostly to me. "Randulf you and Vic should go now." He said as he pulled a small note pad and pen from his pocket and wrote the necessary details on the paper and handed it to me. I glanced at it as Balthazar continued this time speaking to Vic, "Do you have a GPS device in your car, Vic?" I roughly knew what he meant by GPS, Mr Yee had briefly gone over them in 'modern technology' a class run purely run to help the vampires at Evernight reconnect with modern technologies.
Vic looked up at Balthazar and sighed too himself, "Yeah man I do have one." He didn't look too happy to have been forced upon with this small mission, but did not fight it.
I sighed as I knew Balthazar was coming up with an excuse to get Vic away from this terrible scene. "We should go now Vic." Balthazar smiled at me as he handed an envelope to me with what appeared to be 100 dollar bills inside.
"The blood is very expensive," He explained.
Vic nodded in approval. I knew this mustn't have been easy for him to cope with.
He slowly walked with me towards the door to his parent's cellar.
Before I knew it we were in his car, doing our seatbelts up, not that it was necessary for me to do so.
He plugged the address into his GPS and pulled out off the driveway.
After about 45 minutes of driving through Philadelphia, we arrived at an old ran down looking butchers, and both climbed out off the car in union.
"Be careful in here Vic." I warned as lightly as I thought possible.
We stepped inside the old building. I could not smell anything, but knew it must have been bad as Vic covered his nose. The floors where what looked to be a brown colour, although back-in-the-day they must have been a lilac blue. I walked up to the counter and looked at the small piece of paper Balthazar had given me and asked the man at the counter for a man who went by the name off Ronnie.
He nodded and walked into a back room. He did not return although another man walked out. He was a tall man, with long black hair that was layered and flowed just below his shoulders. "What were you chasing bro?"
I looked a little confused I knew 'bro' meant brother but did not know why he would be calling me his brother. I replied nevertheless, "We were chasing thirty pints of any type of blood you had."
He smiled slowly, and nodded. "Sure." He replied, "Do you have money?" He asked.
I nodded pulling the envelope Balthazar had given me from my pocket and handing it over to the man I thought to be Ronnie. He counted the money and whistled. "You do realise this is $2000?"
"Yes." I lied.
He smiled as he walked into the back room and called over his shoulder, "I'll be right back!"
Vic and I waited not talking for about ten minutes before he returned with two big brown paper bags, "It was a pleasure doing business with you to gentlemen."
I nodded as we turned for the door. Vic was the first to get back to his car. I climbed into the passenger seat as he turned the ignition on and pulled out of there.
After another 45 minute drive we were back at Vic's house...

Ajmal Shahzad has been rewarded for an excellent 2009 domestic season and his hard work on the England Performance Programme with a call up to the full England One-Day and Test squads that will tour the UAE and Bangladesh in February and March. Tim Bresnan retains his place in England 's one-day touring party.
Shahzad, a 24-year-old Huddersfield born all-rounder, made his Yorkshire debut in 2004, but seemed to suffer niggling injuries each time he threatened to secure a 1st Team place. On 23 May 2004 he made history by becoming the first Yorkshire born Asian to represent the White Rose County, but it was 2009 when he showed Yorkshire's members and supporters what he could do – a season which culminated in him receiving the Players' Player of the Year Award. This winter he could well do the double and become the first Yorkshire-born Asian to play Test cricket for England.
Ajmal Shahzad, said: "It's been a hard couple of years, just trying to get recognised, trying to get to the stage where I'm being selected for the England Lions team, the academy to South Africa, and just working hard there and getting the recognition to be selected. I had no idea I was going to be in the squad. I was disappointed, to say the least, that I wasn't selected in the England Lions squad that got announced. I got a few phone calls saying 'how come I hadn't been involved or added to the squad?', but I had no answer to them. I gave Dave Parsons a ring and he said 'look, you just need to hang fire for a little while – I can't tell you the information. I can't give you the reason why, but Geoff Miller will give you a ring soon and you'll know about it then'. I just let it lie then and going back to Yorkshire and everyone was asking me 'how come you didn't get selected?', I didn't have an answer. I just said 'I've got to wait and find out why I haven't been selected.' It was a massive relief and I'm just delighted to be selected."
National Selector Geoff Miller said: "We are delighted to welcome Ajmal Shahzad to both squads for the first time. He enjoyed an excellent season with Yorkshire last year, made a strong impression while he was in South Africa with the EPP squad and is a bowler with the potential to make a real impact in international cricket."<
The squad, which departs 13 February, will be led by Alastair Cook as Andrew Strauss rests from the tour. Paul Collingwood will lead the side in the two T20 Internationals against Pakistan in UAE which precede the tour of Bangladesh. James Anderson is also rested. Ajmal Shahzad is joined by another uncapped player, the Kent off-spinner James Tredwell, in both squads while another uncapped player, Hampshire batsman Michael Carberry, has been included in the Test squad.
One Day squad:Alastair Cook (capt) (Essex), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Paul Collingwood (Durham), Joe Denly (Kent), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Matthew Prior (Sussex), Kevin Pietersen (Hampshire), Liam Plunkett (Durham), Ryan Sidebottom (Nottinghamshire), Ajmal Shahzad (Yorkshire), Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire), James Tredwell (Kent), Jonathan Trott (Warwickshire) and Luke Wright (Sussex).
Test squad: Alastair Cook (captain) (Essex), Ian Bell (Warwickshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Michael Carberry (Hampshire), Paul Collingwood (Durham), Steven Davies (Surrey), Graham Onions (Durham), Kevin Pietersen (Hampshire), Liam Plunkett (Durham), Matthew Prior (Sussex), Ajmal Shahzad (Yorkshire), Ryan Sidebottom (Nottinghamshire), Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire), James Tredwell (Kent), Jonathan Trott (Warwickshire) and Luke Wright (Sussex).

"I'm spending a small fortune in cat litter."
Ok, that was a new one. As I peered over my laptop to make certain I'd heard correctly, a cat with a shadow for a body slowly crawled from under the exam room chair. Weighing in at four pounds, less than half the normal weight of an adult cat, Screechers was in bad shape. Really bad shape.
When I see life-threateningly thin patients, several things instantly come to mind. The cat is either unable or unwilling to eat enough (pain, depression), there is a disease stealing the nutrition it is able to eat (cancer, liver, kidney), or a condition has altered the metabolism in a very cruel way (thyroid, diabetes).
In Screecher's case, I was looking for a disease that caused weight loss with excessive thirst and urination. Common diseases being common, I was most concerned that a cat in Screecher's condition had hyperthyroidism, kidney failure, diabetes or feline leukemia/feline AIDS. Or some of these. Or all of them. (Yes, I've actually seen this and it's not pretty.)
After a thorough exam, I recommended we begin with basic blood and urine tests. I had a feeling I knew what the results would be.
Kidney failure (also called renal failure) is an insidious disease that often kills cats before the owner knows their kitty is sick. Kidney failure is a gradual, creeping death because there is considerable redundant, or "extra," kidney tissue. The system is designed so that you can lose up to three-quarters of your kidney function even before common blood tests can detect it. That's well before clinical signs develop. This is also why someone can donate a kidney to a person or pet in need. Many people live perfectly normal lives with only half of the kidneys they were born with. In case you're wondering, kidney transplants are performed in cats. But it was too late for Screechers. Way too late.
"I don't understand how this happened. I thought Screecher looked a little thin, but he's also getting older. He seemed perfectly normal other than drinking more and going to the litterbox all the time."
Kidney disease is one of those conditions that if diagnosed early, we can make simple lifestyle changes and almost always preserve a high quality of life for years. Changes in diet, fluid intake and supplements are commonly prescribed.
When diagnosed late, as Screecher was, treatment is more complicated, expensive (unless, of course, you have pet insurance) and less successful. If I could turn back the hands of time, I probably could've saved Screecher's life.
If your feline or a cat you know is drinking more water, urinating more frequently, if you're noticing the litterbox is more full than usual, your cat starts having accidents outside the litterbox or losing weight, see your veterinarian immediately. A few simple tests can tell you if your cat needs medical help – or if you just need to invest in more litter.

Could anyone get me some docs on how catalyst functions wrt. livecd
creation? I'm interested in the following aspects:
- How do catalyst and genkernel interact?
- What exactly do the different livecd stages do?
- Is it possible to specify on a per-arch basis what gets zapmosted
(thinking in terms of both the current ppc and old x86 scripts)? For
instance, what happens to non-x86 keymaps on a ppc livecd.
- How do I create the actual livecd? Is there some kind of scripting
that puts grp, stages, sources, initrd, kernel, bootloader, ... all on
the disc the livecd tool should produce?
I heard x86 was going to consider a one disc release containing both
some GRP and a working X for fosdem. Is this the new official format?
Am I allowed to use catalyst only for grp and stages for a fosdem
release and use my current livecd script to create the actual discs?
Is it possible to get an update on catalyst and genkernel progress in
general? Is there a possibility ppc64 could integrate ppc32 livecd
support into catalyst? If I'm not mistaken brad_mssw is closely related
to both ppc64, catalyst, genkernel and even amd64 for which already
livecds have been created using catalyst. I guess this would speed up
development enourmeously. This brings me to another question:
Is it possible for releng to be more verbose regarding what the
developers they gave access to their infrastructure for powerpc work
are actually working on? Wouldn't it be a good idea to create some
guidelines or policies about interaction between projects? I think some
current ppc subprojects (such as the QA projects) have guidelines about
things like masking packages stable, I think those need to be
communicated in an effective way to the developers now doing powerpc
work. While I was looking at catalyst I detected some packages which
were marked stable on ppc, but will never work on ppc (bootsplash was
one of them: ofb does not allow bootsplash to be used afaik.).

From the prologue we might have expected John to begin his "argument proper" with a discourse on the incarnation of Christ. But although his preamble begins with a strong assertion of the Incarnation, when he begins to interact with the teaching of antichrist, he begins at another place entirely. He begins with the moral issue.
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world
(1 John 1:5-2:2).
The source of our ethical stand is not an abstract list of rules, but rather the character and nature of God, the God who is light. And we see here one of John's favorite types of expressions, which is to use a contrary statement for purposes of emphasis—"in Him is no darkness at all." We begin our argument with the holiness and righteousness of God.
Wanting to drive the point home, John repeats a particular pattern here three times. The form is something like this: "If we say that good is evil, we are liars. But if we know that only God is good . . ." John works through this pattern three times. The first is found in vv. 6-7, the second is found in vv. 8-9, and the third is found in vv. 10-2:1.
First is the false teaching—in each case, the error is introduced with the phrase if we say.
Then comes the contradiction—the error is denied by an expression such as we lie. The conclusion is found in the antithetical contrast—John goes on to state an important truth concerning the general matter. But if we walk . . .
John is fighting an evil "sinlessness." Remember the heresy of the Gnostics which John is concerned to refute, and pay particular attention to how the error advances, and how the truth answers error accordingly. The first error is that of saying that walking in darkness does not threaten a man's fellowship with God. Those who assert this lie do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, we have fellowship with each other and the blood of Jesus cleanses us (continuously) from all sin. The second error is that of a man who says he has no sinful principle within him. This is the error of the Pelagian—the one who denies original sin. Such a man does not know himself, and consequently is described as self-deceived. This is a gross error but note the description of it. This man is lying, but the emphasis is on how he lies to himself. But if a man confesses his sins, the God who is without sin will forgive and cleanse. The third error is that of saying that one has done no sinning. Here the problem concerns a man's testimony concerning his own actions. The Bible says that we all stumble, and that in many ways. If we contradict that testimony, then we call God a liar. But John's point of writing this down is so that we would learn to not sin.
Later on in the epistle John will make some strong statements about the one born of God being incapable of sin. Those statements will be considered in their place, but every reader of the letter must recognize that John plainly acknowledges the fact of inescapable sin in a Christian's life here, and at the beginning of the book. The later statements must be interpreted on the basis of what John presents here as a foundation.
But the Christian who sins has an Advocate with the Father. The "Christian" who does not sin may fend for himself, and good luck to him.
Christ is the propitiation for sins. Propitiation means the turning aside of wrath, which is why some translations omit the word—some moderns believe it is unseemly for God to be angry. But as Christians who believe the Word, we know it is unbecoming for us to provoke that wrath through our sins. Now Christ is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world. This means that the world will be saved. We must take both key words at face value here—both world and propitiation.

Besides talking about Saturday's 45-24 win over NAU, during his weekly press conference on Monday, Mike Stoops also touched on the New Mexico game and talked about his personnel as well.
Here are some quotes from Stoops:
On the difference between New Mexico against UTEP and NMSU:
"When you watch the UTEP game, they had the ball for 99 snaps and only scored six points. You're not going to see that very often. They moved the ball and were really their own worst enemy in the red zone. I would think they feel like they let a game get away from them. They probably feel like they should be 2-0 right now. They're an excellent run football team.
"I thought the quarterback, last week, was really the difference. He started to heat up in the New Mexico State game and really threw some great balls. You're going to see a lot of play action boot passes trying to get them on the perimeter, sprint passes, last week's game will give us some carryover in what they do but this will be a much more downhill game.
They'll run the football, play action and boot you. Those teams have given us problems in the past and we just have to make sure we can not turn any receivers loose and give them big plays."
On possibly being concerned that UNM head coach Rocky Long went against the spread offense on Saturday:
"Not really, he's seen it before (with) BYU and Texas Tech. We have pretty good feedback in what we're going to see through some past games. They change quite a bit week to week and can come at you in a variety of different ways. It's a very unique defense to say the least. I don't know if I can always figure out what they're doing but they're coming (laughs). They're not going to play conservative.
"They play aggressive. There's no lack of aggressiveness in the way they play. We just have to make sure we have a really solid gameplan and make sure we can get some guys loose. It's been a feast or famine deal with them. Sometimes they give up a lot of big plays but they create some big plays with their defense as well. It's a big challenge for our offense."
On Antoine Cason being an X-factor:
"That's the beauty of him and that's kind of the underlying theme behind everything. I think (NAU's) best receiver caught 10 balls for 47 yards. That's 4.7 (YPC), that's crazy. They're just not going to challenge him. If they want to throw a five-yard stop route, we just have to tackle him. The defense isn't taught to stop five-yard routes very often, unless it's a 3rd-and-4 type situation.
"He tries to stay involved in the game, wanting more responsibility because he doesn't get challenged as much as some people just because of the matchups. People are still going to take shots and he's got to make sure he doesn't care careless and sloppy in his technique. He's played exceptionally well both games, played physical and that's the thing I'm most encouraged about. He continues to play more physical and show great speed in his return. He continues to showcase his talent."
On offense in general:
"We have great speed. I was encouraged by our two group going in there and the receivers really did a nice job. We're developing depth at some key positions. This offense hasn't even scratched the surface of what it's capable of doing. I think they're going to get better every time they step on the field."
On who would win between the DB's and WR's in the 100 meter:
"Derick Barkum would probably win. Mike Thomas might come in second or third. Wilrey Fontenot and (Cason)… they'd put a pretty good 4x1 team together. They can all run pretty explosive times. Those four would be a pretty good match."
On D'Aundre Reed:
"He played three or four snaps I think Saturday."
