GP32 MIDI Interface with Darkstar
I had some little time to finish the
for my GP32. I can use now this little gaming-console with the
as MIDI-sequencer together with my Darkstar XP2 you can see on the top. LGPT has no more support on GP32 and is much more advanced on the GP32 successor GP2X, which I unfortunately not own. Anyway - it works fine for me and to prove this you can checkout the video:
Of course this was only the first Test. Here are some more pictures of the whole setup:

Elite XT By Dymatize Nutrition - 2lb - Rich Chocolate - Protein
High Quality Protein!
Elite XT is a high-quality multi-phase protein that provides muscle nourishment for an extended period of time. It combines proteins with different absorption rates (slow, medium, fast) and is enhanced with Nutrateric® encapsulation to provide muscles with extended-release nutrition that lasts for hours.* Plus, it has been re-formulated to deliver an even better taste experience.
- Combines the Fastest and Slowest Absorbing Proteins
- 21g of Protein per Serving
- 4.2g of BCAAs
- Gluten Free
Extended Release Protein
Elite XT Extended Release protein is designed to be the ultimate muscle fuel and sustained recovery formula.*The optimal source was found to be a fusion of several different protein sources, including the addition of free form branch chain amino acids and milk derived proteins. Elite XT is further enhanced by the addition of Nutrateric®, a revolutionary coating system. This delayed release technology allows the specific material it coats to release at a particular pH range.* In fact, with this coating process, the resulting digestion can take more than twice as long as other forms of non-coated protein, further enhancing the extended release capacity of Dymatize Elite XT.*

AFAIK, that dyno run was only a before and after of the TB...so it doesnt really say anything about the exhaust.
Magnaflow suggests 2-2.25 for the 3.6L(220cu.in)
This article suggests 2-2.25 as well. It says 2" is good to 289 hp, while 2.25 is good up to 371 hp.
Corsas V6 exhuast system was 2.25 for the first few years, but noone was spending the money to buy their system, so they started selling the 2.5" V system as a V6 system. When they did their initial testing, tho, their choice was 2.25. I havent been shown any evidence that the 2.5" is the good choice for hp. Its the choice for low cost and sound, tho.
Concorso, I totally agree with your point. I too measured it recently in my research to turbo my CTS and found that actual measurements are less than 2.25. I think a lot of members tho are more interested in looks and sound of their car than the power. That's normal when buying a V6 Cadillac instead of the V. Size is a huge determining factor in power. I love it when Honda guys add a header and intake and a 2.75" or bigger exhaust. They lose like 15 hp doing that lol. If I go turbo I will still be going 2.5" instead of 3". I will need a bit of back pressure to help the turbo spool up quicker, even tho it won't be a huge turbo. But if I stay N/A I will try and stay 2.25" I don't thing a 3.6 flows enough air to warrant a 2.5 and N/A definitely needs some back pressure.Quote:

I really just wanted a better sound from my car. I am happy with the H pipe VEE exhaust.
Well when I turbo the car it won't actually cost that much. A turbo alone isn't all that expensive. I will get a piping kit for the intake. There will be a bit of exhaust work. I have a boost controller at home, and a wastegate. Like mentioned, putting the turbo underneath the car saves from modifying the headers. As for reliability, no real need to run 30psi. If I can go with about 8-10psi and get 50-75hp out of it I will be happy and the reliability will still be there.Quote:

I'm not too sure. I haven't had two seconds to wipe my ass let alone call Tracy at RX to he some info. I want to find out if the stock ECU will compensate for the added air. Everything else should be ok. Might need injectors. Not too sure what ours will flow. I am hoping to get some info from RX and if it all works out well he can make a piece together system that customers can buy. Like I said, it won't be big boost because I too want it to be reliable. But 50hp is fine with me if I get to hear the BOV and also the wastegate dump to atmosphere. That's an orgasm for the ears lmao.Quote:

The LS2 uses shorty style injectors, like ours, and they flow at 340cc/min @ 4 bar/58psi. Im just not sure how to compensate for the fuel rail pressure.
And Javi, do tell about the race modded tranny. I am all ears about people doing anything to 5L40E. For anyone else that is interested in making their transmissions not suck, check out Level-10. Link:
Fuel pressure regulator. I have one of those sitting in my garage too. Come to think a out it, I should just buy another talon, I have all the parts to make it rip ass lol. But hey, a turbo CTS is far more interesting.Quote:

E85 is 85% ethanol; I'm guessing that's not what you're using. E93 would be 93% ethanol. Do you mean 93 octane? If so, yes, you can get the ECU tuned for higher octane fuel. It won't gain you much, but it can be done.
A Roots (or other screw-type) blower is also belt driven. I think you meant centrifugal rather than belt driven. Yes, getting all the bracketry and belt routing / tensioning figured out on your own is challenging, but folks have done it. More often than not, though, the "home brewed" supercharger setups look like home brewed setups - pretty rough.
The only thing that needs to be precise is the tune. You risk having very expensive problems (broken ring lands, holed pistons, etc) if that part isn't right.
Ah well, I was off by a bit. :p Regardless, you're still proposing using that turbo on an engine with 50% more displacement. It's going to spool up very early and quickly, which will make tuning difficult and will put a lot of stress on the engine.
You can buy a noisemaker that plugs into the cigarette lighter if all you want is the noises. :lol: And the T25 is going to fall flat on its face at such a low RPM that I don't know if even that 50hp will be achievable.
A larger exhaust will not hurt horsepower. It may shift the power band in a way that is suboptimal for a daily driver street car, but it will not cost horsepower.
No, they don't.
:nono: The whole discussion of backpressure and exhausts is internet junk science. Backpressure has essentially nothing to do with an efficient exhaust system.
I don't understand how backpressure would help a turbo spool up quicker. :confused: The turbo has a turbine in the exhaust. It spins up based on exhaust flow across the turbine. Putting backpressure in the system would mean less flow, which would mean slower spool. There's a reason that one of the first mods that everyone does to any turbo car to gain power is a bigger downpipe and freer-flowing exhaust! If you follow through on the turbo idea I would strongly recommend either dual 2.5" or single 3" exhaust.
No, it doesn't. Do yourself a favor and just forget anything you've read about exhaust "tuning" and backpressure. Google for some articles written by David Vizard about exhaust system design.
A strut tower brace will have zero impact on body roll.
:confused: Does that make sense when you read it back to yourself?
Yes, I meant 93 octane fuel. Premium fuel tune. I guess I just really want to get my car tuned, premium fuel or not. Im trying to track down ChevyHighPerfromance's tune tables as a starting point for Trifecta to tweak for high octane fuel and throw it on a EZ-Flash cable for me.
I would think for most tuners one of the "standard" things to do is to optimize the tune for premium gas. That's true of just about any platform.

Vera Lynn has spoken. "I don't know what Afghanistan's all about," she told The Times this week from her home in Ditchling, Sussex. "I don't know what we are doing there." I'd be surprised if there aren't people in Afghanistan who don't know what Ditchling is all about either. But then I suppose Vera Lynn's point is that Afghanistan has not invaded Ditchling.
It's not my intention to pick a fight with the Forces' Sweetheart. She is 92. If I get to 92 I sure as hell won't know what Afghanistan's about. At 92 I don't expect to know what I'm about. But in a general way I do question the value of ignorance when it comes to expressing a view on world affairs. It is perfectly all right not to know what we are doing in Afghanistan when, say, we are discussing Big Brother. Or vice versa. "I don't know what Big Brother's all about" would be an unexceptionable thing for General Petraeus to tell troops serving in Helmand province. But if you are going to proffer an opinion on the war in Afghanistan then I think you have to know why we are there. This doesn't mean you have to agree with Nato's reasoning. It is perfectly acceptable to say I know what we are doing in Afghanistan and still think we should not be doing it. But to offer your not knowing why we're there as an argument for not being there is absurd. Ignorance is not to be confused with judgement.
Or am I being unnecessarily precise? By saying she doesn't know, does Vera Lynn actually mean that she is unconvinced, that the argument for being in Afghanistan has not persuaded her, that those who should have empowered her with the knowledge to approve the operation have failed to do so?
So hard not to sound punctilious in an age of imprecision. So hard not to sound punctilious when you use the word punctilious.
If I were to tell you that the essayist Sydney Smith defined pedantry as the "ostentatious obtrusion of knowledge" would it make me a pedant? Is pedantry a sort of burr that sticks to you the moment you bring the subject up?
I recall witnessing a furious argument in which one party, sick of being corrected on fine points of grammar, accused the other of being an insufferable pedant. "Ah, yes, pedant," the accused mused, "there's a word with a fascinating etymology." Good joke, I remember thinking. Except that he wasn't making a joke.
If we were to muse upon the etymology of the word pedant together – its first meaning, of course, is schoolmaster – we might wonder why, in general, schoolmasters or schoolmasterly people get such a bad press in our culture. In our best literature, people who know too much are invariably figures of fun, even when they inhabit a world where people know too little. Think of Mary Bennet, the middle sister in Pride and Prejudice, "a young lady of deep reflection" who alone manages to find some redeeming literary quality in Mr Collins' ingratiating letter of introduction – "the idea of the olive branch perhaps is not wholly new, yet I think it well expressed".
She would have made a fine campus novelist, Jane Austen.
Or, where pedants are not satirised, they are written about in such a way as to solicit our compassion not only on their own account but on account of those who mistakenly look to them for love and guidance. That Mr Casaubon has read too deeply and exclusively in the literature of mythology to satisfy Dorothea's yearning is a given in Middlemarch. Scholars don't make good husbands or lovers. They are bound, it is assumed, to bring their pedantry to bed. "In point of fact, my dear, most missionaries eschewed such a position for fear of the chafing of flesh that would surely ensue in a tropical climate. We have much to learn, in this instance at least, from the canine preference, which I am only too willing to essay should you care to signal your compliance."
And if they fare badly in literature they fare still worse in life. We have no regard for schoolteachers. There are countries where to be a schoolteacher is to enjoy considerable esteem. Here, we pay them badly and encourage our children to treat them with contempt. The reason for this is that we fear learning and would rather mock it than acquire it. No one must draw attention to our ignorance, no one must teach us how to think, how to say what we mean or how to mean something better, no one must correct our spelling or our syntax or our speech. The very concept of correction is anathema to us.
The capitulation of the pedant himself to this free-for-all of knowing nothing was in evidence this week on Fry's English Delight, Stephen Fry's Radio 4 programme about the English language. A schoolmasterly man himself, Fry listened, I thought, with regret, as an assortment of language experts – I mean no disrespect: some of my best friends are lexicographers and linguisticians – preached the gospel of wrong is right because whatever the people decide to make of language is what language must become.
Say less when you mean fewer, infer when you mean to imply – none of it matters because what the unlettered populace does with words today the rest of us will meekly do tomorrow. Brute proof, of course, is on the side of those who argue in this fashion; yesterday's sins do indeed become forgotten in the democracy of usage. But that doesn't mean there is not a vice called illiteracy, and that we shouldn't, every now and then, seek to save something from its all-devouring maw.
Take the uninterested/disinterested confusion which Fry's programme mentioned. It is true that these words have changed places over time; that disinterested once meant unconcerned and uninterested meant without bias, whereas it is now the other way around. Or would be the other way around had absence of bias not become a forgotten concept and unconcern – do I look bovvered? – not carried all before it. But it is not pedantry for pedantry's sake that makes one argue for the retention of disinterested. It is because the state of mind it describes – freedom from self-seeking, preparedness to think and act impartially, without taking account of personal advantage, a grand carelessness of profit – is one we cannot afford to lose.
Differentiation matters. Ignorance is not argument. Disinterestedness is not another word for "Whadever!". We are quick to outlaw words when they don't suit the temper of the times. We should, to defy the temper of the times, try rescuing a few.

At that level, health-endangering conditions (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, mites, ozone production, etc.) are greatly reduced. How often should I service my humidifier?This will vary depending upon the type of humidifier you have, the hardness of your water and the operating time of your unit. If you have a Skuttle flow-thru unit or if you have a reservoir-type humidifier with a Skuttle automatic flushing timer-once a year is generally sufficient. Contact your HVAC contractor for advice specific to your needs.Which Skuttle humidifier is best for my home?The type of heating system you have, the size of your home, the hardness of your water and a variety of other factors all affect the kind of humidifier that's best for you. That's why Skuttle makes more humidifiers than any other manufacturer. Should my humidifier operate during the summer months?Because summer air is naturally more humid in most parts of the country, it's not necessary to humidify during the summer months. In fact, dehumidification is often desirable. Fortunately, your air conditioner is an effective dehumidifier. During the winter months, however, when the air is much drier, proper indoor humidification provides a healthier, more comfortable living environment.How is one type of humidifier different from another?Drum and flow-thru humidifiers are evaporative types that can only put as much moisture into the air as the air can handle. This range varies with the indoor temperature. Steam and spray-type humidifiers, on the other hand, can add moisture to the air regardless of its temperature. Why do I lower the setting on my humidity control when the outside temperature drops?Relative humidity also referred to as RH%, is the percentage of water in a vapor form, contained in the air at a specific temperature. Because air expands when heated, the relative humidity decreases unless moisture is added. The reverse applies to air that is cooled, it contracts and relative humidity increases until it is saturated or reaches dew point. Dew point is the temperature that the air becomes saturated and water condenses just as water condenses on a glass of ice water on a warm humid day.The suggested settings appear backwards at first, because one would think that we would turn the humidifier up when weather conditions become colder. However the setting must be reduced to prevent condensation on windows and interior surfaces, that may cause damage to your home if the humidity levels are to high during extreme cold. Some professionals advise that the relative humidity indoors during the winter months should be maintained at 50%RH or even higher. However typical home construction and design criteria (even in today's housing industry) can't withstand the higher settings for extended periods. I just installed a Skuttle humidifier in my house. How come I don't feel any difference yet?The period of adjustment can take up to three weeks. This is understandable since furniture, woodwork, carpeting, plaster and house plants will absorb the newly produced moisture until they reach normal levels.I've heard its better to use hot water with my humidifier, is this true?Hot water will not harm your humidifier, however our lab tests show that the small performance gains are not worth the added costs for heating water.Can I install my humidifier in an area where it might freeze, like my attic?No! Installing a humidifier in a potentially freezing environment, no matter what type or brand, could cause serious water damage to your house.

About Me all thumbs, Homeowner
I had one from a different manufacture big brand name. it needed a new motor, and since I was not an authorized dealer or repaiman, they would not even discuss a replacement part. motor was held in with 2 screws.I removed the old one and in a couple of hours, had this one installed and up and running.I had to re-do the duct opening, metal work was not a big deal, to make a proper place for the unit.the way it drops down for cleaning is great.

Your cart is empty!
Programmable Auto-Off Feature If you've ever had your scale turn off on ya in the middle of important measurements, you'll realize what a blessing this feature is. You can program this pinewood derby scale to turn off automatically, or to stay on until you turn it off yourself.
Bright Backlit Display This table top scale has a fancy backlit display to help ya see your weight readings, even in dim lighting. Not only that! This digital scale's display will tell ya if it's holding a weight, if ya pressed the tare button, and the unit you're weighing with.
Adjustable Display Angle This scale makes it easy to read your weight readings whether you're sitting right in front of the scale, or standing over it. All ya have to do is lift up the display to the angle that works for you.
Tare Feature The tare button on the front of this portable scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the item you're adding.
Hold Feature This feature lets ya remove weight from the scale and keep the weight reading on the display. This sure comes in handy if ya need to remove your item from the scale, or if you're having trouble seeing the weight display.
It Remembers The Last Unit ya Used If your application needs weights in the same unit of measurement, (like ounces for instance), it can be a real pain if your scale always turns on ready to weigh in grams. It's a good thing this pine wood derby scale turns on displaying the unit of measurement you were using when ya turned it off.
Easy Calibration This scale comes factory calibrated and ready to use. Just in case ya need to calibrate it, this portable digital scale comes with easy to follow calibration instructions. You'll just need to pick up a 200 gram calibration weight to get the job done.
Kill Those Vibrations With VibraKill® Did ya know that vibrations can cause a scale's reading to bounce around from one weight to another? Included with this digital scale is a VibraKill® Pad to keep vibrations, (caused by everyday items like, your fridge, nearby music, your washing machine, etc...) from messing up your weighing.
30 YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY! If ya have a problem with this scale, just send it to MyWeigh's warranty center in Phoenix, Arizona.

Jackie Chan Dies: RIP Death Rumor!
Jackie Chan (56-years-old) died online today; marking another 2011 celebrity death.
Jackie Chan died online today as Twitter trends with RIP Jackie Chan which sparked the death rumor. Chan (56-years-old) is not as young as Jaden Smith (12-years-old) who died last week as well, but that hasn't stopped him from falling victim to a death rumor. When a celebrity such as Jackie Chan dies online, it is best to confirm the death with a real news outlet before you believe it.
That being said, Jackie Chan dies is just another stupid death rumor to add to the long list of celebrities that have died online in 2011. Jackie Chan is NOT dead, he is very much alive and well. The whole RIP Jackie Chan trend on Twitter is just a hoax; don't believe it!

What is Emotional Abuse?
Emotional abuse is similar to brainwashing in that it steadily wears down the victims self-confidence, sense of self-worth, trust in their own perceptions, and self-esteem. Sometimes the abuse is disguised as guidance, teaching, or advice, but the results are the same. The recipient of the abuse eventually loses all sense of self, and stops believing in his (or her) personal value.
Verbal abuse can take the form of blaming, ordering, threatening, and name-calling. Emotional abusers may also invalidate the perceptions of the victim by denying reality when the victim confronts the abuser, saying I never did that or I never said that, or by telling the victim she doesnt know what shes talking about. People who abuse and bully will not accept responsibility for their actions.
Abusers may also refuse to listen, refuse to communicate, or withhold attention from the victim, in essence giving him the silent treatment. Withholding any kind of praise, encouragement, or support is also common.
In some cases, emotional abuse can cause severe physical problems as the body attempts to reveal the effects of the abuse in a desperate plea for help.
Read my story below to find out how emotional abuse can affect your physical health.
What is Bullying?
Bullying is essentially the same as emotional abuse, though it can include physical assaults as well. The bully uses force or coercion to affect others, usually in the form of intimidation (If you dont do things my way, I wont be happy, and youll be in big trouble). People who bully use their power to control or harm others, and people being bullied often have difficulty finding a way to defend themselves because of the bullys irrational tactics (also known as "bully games").
Check your reaction to the person. Do you feel supported, or do you feel small and less-than? Are you fearful of them? These are signs that youre being bullied. Anyone can be a bully: a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child, a teacher, a minister. Just because someone is in a position of authority doesnt mean they are immune to bullying. Some people who hold powerful positions use their power to intimidate others.
Children who bully others at school have often learned bullying at home from their parents or siblings, either by seeing someone else bullied, or being bullied themselves.
How You Can Heal from Emotional Abuse and Bullying
Having someone supportive to talk with about the abuse is also important a therapist or school counselor, a trusted minister, a friend who is a good listener. You need to get a reality check from someone who is not involved in the relationship, and figure out whether your perceptions are correct (usually they are, and its the abuser who is telling you that youre not seeing things correctly).
Also, begin to pay attention to your self-talk what you say to yourself. Do you encourage your good efforts, or do you only put yourself down? Most people are not taught to talk to themselves in a supportive way, but this is the most important step in healing from an abusive past.
People who have been abused learned to mimic the abusers words in their own minds, and consequently put themselves down every chance they get. Human beings have limitations, and we make mistakes. No one is perfect. Start to encourage yourself for the things you do right instead of focusing only on mistakes, and your self-esteem will begin to grow.
Coping with Feelings
As you begin to heal the pain of being abused, you must acknowledge and express your feelings. If we dont admit our feelings to ourselves, we repress them, and their roots grow even deeper into the psyche. Over time, repressed feelings can cause cancer, heart disease, ulcers, back pain, and a host of other physical ailments.
Though the feelings are very painful, looking at them and expressing them will help release them so the pain will eventually diminish. This is the only way to heal completely from an abusive past and develop solid self-esteem. Crying, punching sofa pillows, or working anger out with exercise are very healthy ways of releasing difficult emotions.
Try to keep a part of yourself aside as an "empathic witness" while you release the feelings, and let that part of you take care of your hurt self as you would take care of a child. You can comfort yourself as well as or even better than another person can.
If you listen to your body, it will tell you how it wants to let go of the feelings, and it will become much healthier as you let go of the stress hormones that have built up in your system as a result of the abuse.
Emotional Abuse: My Story
After my father died, I regained the weight and my health within three months. Soon after, I read Martha Becks wonderful book Steering by Starlight, and I came across her definition of Spider Love: a love thats consumptive, not giving. Suddenly, it all made sense. All of the bullying and belittling, the criticizing and complaining, had drained me until I was holding on to life by a slender thread. After suffering depression and anxiety for most of my life as a result of the abuse, when my father died I began a journey of healing from the trauma, building my self-esteem and creating a much more fulfilling life, a process which I wrote about in The Box of Daughter.
I encourage you to begin your own journey of healing. Sometimes its painful to face the past, but its the only way to create a more fulfilling life. Reading Alice Millers The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self is a good way to start.
I wish you peace and comfort along the way.

Referred to as dev bhoomi or "Land of God", Himachal Pradesh is bordered by Jammu and Kashmir on the north, Punjab on the west, Uttar Pradesh on the south and Uttaranchal on the east. The word "Himachal" means the abode of snow. Shimla is the capital of Himachal Pradesh and the total area of the state is 55,673 square km. The state is covered with immense natural beauty and is, undoubtedly, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. A majority of the area is mountainous with lofty ranges, deep valleys, swaying waterfalls and lush greenery. The climate varies extremely from one place to the other, providing heavy rainfalls to some area and no rainfall to others. Being high in altitude, snowfall is a common sight in most parts of the state. There are 12 districts in the state which are further subdivided into blocks and towns and villages for administrative convenience. Himachal Pradesh is known to be the second least corrupt state in the country. Owing to the huge production of apples, Himachal Pradesh is also known as the 'State of Apples'.

Himachal Pradesh has a rich history because it has been inhabited by several clans of people at different ages from the beginning of civilization. The earliest of all were the people from the Indus Valley civilization, during the second and third millennium BC, and they came here from Gangetic plains only to live life more peacefully. Soon, the Mongolians occupied the region and they were followed by the Aryans. According to the Indian epics, Himachal Pradesh was a conglomeration of several small republics or Janpadas, each constituting a state as well as a cultural unit. Then came the Mughals and kings like Mahmud Ghaznavi, Sikandar Lodi, Timur, etc had conquered many places of the state to establish their supremacy.
After their kingdom started declining, the Gorkhas captured the land but ended up losing the territory to the British in the Anglo-Gorkha war. The British were completely smitten by the sheer beauty of the area and continued with their supremacy over the place from 1858 to 1914. Post-Independence, 30 princely states of the area were brought together to form Himachal Pradesh in 1948. When Punjab got geographically reorganised, some parts were included in the latter. In 1971, Himachal Pradesh emerged as the 18th state of the Indian Union.
Being situated at the foothills of the Western Himalayas, Himachal Pradesh is located at the higher altitudes around 6500 meters above the sea level. The elevation is from west to the east and from the north to the south. Geographically, the area may be divided into three broad categories: the outer Himalayas (Shivaliks), the inner Himalayas (central zone), and the Greater Himalayas (alpine zone). Wide Valleys, snow clad mountains, exotic lakes and rivers and gushing out streams are the few features that Himachal Pradesh is known for. Around 64 percent of the area is covered by forests that consist of Moist Deodar Forest, Ban Oak Forest, Moist Temperate Deciduous Forest, Coniferous Forest, Alpine Pastures and the Rhododendron Scrub Forests. The climate varies from semi arctic to semi tropical.
Summers stay from April-June with a comfortable climate whereas winters are chilly due to heavy snowfalls. Rainy season enhances the beauty of the place and continues from July to September. Rivers and streams get refilled and a lustrous beauty of the green vegetation is visible all throughout. Major rivers of the area are the Chandra Bhaga, the Beas, the Chenab, the Sutlej and the Ravi. These rivers flow all throughout the year and are mainly fed by the glaciers of the mountains. Bara Shigri, Bhaga, Chandra are the few glaciers of Himachal Pradesh. More Detail...
Government and Politics
The state is divided into 12 districts, 75 tehsils, 52 subdivisions, 75 blocks and almost more than 20000 villages and 57 towns. Being a post-Independence creation, the legislative assembly of Himachal Pradesh doesn't have any pre-constitution. However, the unicameral legislature of the state has 68 seats with almost 14 house committee at the assembly. It has 4 Lok Sabha constituencies and for Rajya Sabha, there are 3 constituencies. Among political parties, only the Indian National Congress (INC) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have alternately been able to establish their respective governments in Himachal Pradesh. Like all other Indian states, the Chief Minister has the ultimate powers in the state, and controls all the major operations of the government.
Himachal Pradesh was the summer capital of British India and hence the standard of elementary as well as higher education here is up to the mark with the rest of the country. Literacy rates of the state are one of the highest among all the Indian states especially Hamirpur, which is one of the districts with a top ranking literacy rate. There are thousands of schools which offer primary as well as secondary education to kids, being affiliated to the CBSE and the ICSE. The government is working hard to make the state the new "educational hub" of the country. In fact, Himachal Pradesh is the first state in the country that has made elementary education possible as well as accessible for every child.
There are several universities, engineering colleges, and medical colleges that offer professional courses for aspiring candidates. Apart from that, there are some general degree colleges that help the students to pursue their basic higher education from the state itself. Other than that, there are few NGO-operated educational institutions running successfully in the state.
Himachal Pradesh is one state that has transformed itself from being the most backward state to one of the most advanced states in the country.
The total population of Himachal Pradesh as per Census 2011, is 68,64,602 which is only minimal percentage of the total population of the country. Himachal Pradesh is one of those states with the highest Hindu population, about 90 percent. Among them, the main communities are the Rajputs who had come to this place long back and settled here since. The Brahmins and the Rathis also form a major part of the population of the state. The Ghirth community or the Choudhury community is mainly found in the Kangra district, they are usually the landowners who rent their lands to poor farmers for cultivation and earn revenue from them in return. The other communities that stay here are the Kannets, Kolis, Gaddis, Gujjars, Lahaulis and Pangawals.
Tourist Places in Himachal Pradesh
Undoubtedly, Himachal Pradesh is one of the best places to visit due to its vast geo-topographical diversities. The snow-topped mountains, the green forests or the red apple orchards, and the freshness of pure air - the state has everything that attracts people from all over the world. Shimla, Manali, Chamba, etc are those places which draw most of the honeymoon couples all through the year. Otherwise, tourists who love mountain adventures can also enjoy river rafting, trekking, ice skating, para gliding and skiing, apart from spending a peaceful vacation here. There are temples, churches, monasteries, rivers, hill stations, architectural masterpieces and markets which will surely be a traveler's delight.
Dharamshala is one of the coldest hill stations where one can witness snow covered valleys at a stretch, lush flora and fauna and freshness that Mother Nature offers to humans. When in Shimla, tourists can enjoy the Jakhoo hills, the ridge, the Lakkar bazaar, St. Michael's cathedral, state museum, or simply roam around the mall road. Mashorba, Kufri, Fagu, are few suburbs which gives enchanting scenery of the beautiful state to a nature lover. Kullu, Chail, Kasauli, Manikaran, Dalhousie, etc are also places worth visiting in Himachal Pradesh. Nagar, Paharpur and Rukkhala offer rural heritage and charm to the urban visitors.

Himachal Pradesh is a multilingual and a multicultural state of India. Since many races have come and settled here from earlier times, the culture of the state is diverse, colourful and rich in heritage. It is exhibited in colourful clothes, musical melodies, festive celebrations, rhythmic dances and a simple yet rich lifestyle. Arts and handicrafts form an integral part of the culture. The state specialises in preparing pashmina shawl which is exported to foreign countries on a regular basis. Other than that, wooden potteries, metal jewellery, utensils, vessels and many more are prepared by the locals. Music and dance are an integral and essential part of life for the Himachalis. Folk songs are mainly sung to invoke the deities. Special types of songs known as samskara songs, based on Indian Ragas, are popular among the people. Some exclusive dance forms of the state are Shona, Gee, Burah, Losar, Naati etc. Festivals are celebrated with great zeal and grandeur. The international Himalayan Festival is celebrated annually at Dharamshala. Local festivals like Cheeshu and Lahaul for the Lahaulis, and Haryali at the Kangra district are celebrated with pomp and vividness. National festivals like Diwali, Lohri, Baisakhi and Christmas too mean a lot for the people of Himachal Pradesh.
Being a state located in the northern part of the country, Hindi is widely spoken and understood among all the inhabitants of Himachal Pradesh.
Most of the part of Himachal Pradesh being mountainous, development of proper transport facilities was difficult. However, the government has made notable progress in connecting the roads to the state and today Himachal Pradesh is known to have the highest density of roads among all major hill stations of the country. There are 8 national highways that connect the state with the rest of the country. Inside the state, all the tourist spots are connected through roads for the benefits of travellers. Within the city, people prefer private vehicles and buses to communicate from one part to the other. Two railway stations connect the state with the other part of the country, the Kalka Shimla railways and the Pathankot-Jogindernagar railways. Few more tracks have been proposed by the government for better connectivity. With three airports in the state - Shimla airport near the capital, the Gaggal airport near the Kangra District, and the Bhuntar airport just near to the Kullu District - Himachal Pradesh can be reached through airways as well. However, due to improper weather conditions, most of these flights either get delayed or cancelled in most of the days, causing much inconvenience to the passengers.

Studio Two
Victor Axelrod, the thirtysomething keyboardist, arranger, and engineer who creates reggae music under the handle Ticklah, decides to open the sidewalk grates early. His aptly named Don't Trip studio is tucked beneath a Brooklyn sidewalk in a desolate section of Gowanus: Washing machines double as amp stands, keyboards are stacked like pancakes, drums are stuffed in corners, and a large mixing console holds court among egg crates and pegboards full of patch cords. From the street, you follow the trembling sounds of bass and keys down a dark cement staircase.
On a warm September night, a loose collection of heavy-hitting musicians filters into that cramped, low-ceilinged basement. Guitarist Marcos Garcia, Axelrod's bandmate in the Brooklyn Afropop collective Antibalas, arrives first. Following his lead are bassist Victor Rice (who's worked with throwback ska outfits the Scofflaws, the Stubborn All-Stars, and the Toasters), singer Tamar-kali (of reggae collective the Easy Star All Stars), and singer Rob Symeonn (known for his righteous roots tome "Chosen One"). Various others congregate nearby, either in Axelrod's apartment upstairs or out in his garden. Everyone has come together to rehearse for the release party celebrating Ticklah vs. Axelrod, his first reggae album under the name Ticklah. Axelrod is businesslike as he conducts the rehearsal, stressing over latecomers and constantly reminding the assembled when crucial hooks need to be highlighted or when to phase out a tune. At one point, Symeonn's sweet vocals throw the drummer into a trance, and Axelrod has to remind everyone not to "zone out" during the performance, bringing a dose of structure to the historically mind-bending abstractions of dub music. Although Axelrod says he doesn't subscribe to the romantic notion that legendary reggae studios like Studio One and Channel One relied on spontaneous jam sessions sparked by random people who just happened to be hanging out there, he may not realize he's creating that very same vibe at Don't Trip. But it all starts with him. In addition to his Antibalas tenure, he was an original member of retro-soul titans Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and did production work on Easy Star Records' Dub Side of the Moon, the NYC label's highly successful reggae tribute to Pink Floyd. Ticklah vs. Axelrod, a pleasantly polished and delicately mixed reggae-dub album with impressive vocal talent, was coddled, massaged, and perfected over a number of years in Axelrod's basement studio during Antibalas's downtime. Most of the rhythms were created organically through impromptu sessions with Rice and other friends. "Victor would come to the studio, and I would get behind the drums, and we'd kick around some ideas," says the multitalented Axelrod, who played a little bit of drums and bass on the record, as well as all the keys. "We would work out ideas, and the tracks would sit for a while before I would overdub them, thickening up the rhythm with guitar or piano. But the thing I always look for in a track is some kind of identifying melodic content, to basically elevate it from just being a cool reggae or dub track to making it into a tune."
On Ticklah, these melodic sensibilities can manifest as a thick, overdubbed trombone ("Scratch to Win"), clattering organ catches ("Two Face"), or the subsonic sound effects that make dub unique. The results are spirited renditions of old-time dubs that conjure images of larger-than-life personalities like Lee Scratch Perry and King Tubby, logging long hours behind massive mixing boards, musical equations bubbling in their heads like mad-scientist experiments.
Working closely with Easy Star and exploiting his other affiliations, Axelrod didn't mind outsourcing his melodies, either. "Sometimes reggae singers have a song already in their mind that can work over different rhythms," he says; consider "Queen Dub," graced by Symeonn's distinctive voice and capped with a heavy bassline and xylophone hook. A similar alchemy occurred with "Rescue Me," wherein Axelrod got an instrumental track in the hands of reggae pioneer Mikey General while overseeing the production of a Luciano track. General's high-pitched voice and cool timing, combined with the track's airy flow, add some authentic Caribbean flavor to the album. And throughout, Axelrod tackles dub with a love of the form and its craft. Ticklah combines all the musical tastes he's absorbed over the years, from Afrobeat to Latin. The album features two unique reggae versions of classic Eddie Palmieri salsa tracks, "Mi Sonsito" and "Si Hecho Palante," both featuring the vocal nuances of Mayra Vega, who's worked with Antibalas in the past.

Unlike modern reggae, which emphasizes overproduced beats and synthesizer patches while paying little attention to the rhythm section, Axelrod made it a point to use live musicians. "The overall texture of having live instruments is a big part of what I love about the old records that I listen to," he says. But the studio where they convene is equally important. "Reggae music has always been about a producer rounding up some musicians and going into the studio with some rough ideas. From the beginning, the music was really about records, and making a recording that ended up getting played at the dance hall. And because there was so much emphasis on having a great-sounding record, it may have helped studios to really get their chops together. Different studios and labels began to develop distinct sounds that they could pride themselves on. That studio work is what has really influenced me."
While the engineers and mixers of studios like Channel One were too busy crafting sounds and tweaking equipment, they might not have realized the social implications and camaraderie that resulted. Axelrod may be too consumed to realize the scene blossoming at Don't Trip. For now, both his studio and his reggae dalliances are side projects, hobbies. But he'd consider producing other artists there, and there are certainly plenty of other artists around. During a break in the rehearsal, huddled around an open bag of dried Goji berries, Axelrod's musicians swap handwritten sheet music and talk about collective farming, organic tomatoes, and the health benefits of the master cleanse. Elsewhere, Symeonn and another smiley Rasta exchange proclamations to Jah, while the figures assembled in the garden buzz like an orchestra of summertime crickets.
"What I've read about those [old] studios has led me to believe that it was all about business," Axelrod says. "And I know to be on the outside, it is definitely easy to think that there must have been 'that place' where good music was being made, musicians were hanging out, and there was a loose and free atmosphere. But the thing is, I have never really seen that here." But perhaps that's because he's been too busy to notice, tinkering with his keyboards and experimenting with sound just beneath the sidewalk.

Weblog: | Apple As Innovator | |
Subject: | Lemmings was in 1985. | |

From: | timoreilly | |
Response to: Lemmings was in 1985.
Of course, you're right. I was conflating the two ads. Both were wonderful, but it was the 1984 ad that made the bigger splash. And of course, both made a statement about the meaning of owning an Apple, which is the heart of Dave Hickey's point. My prediction is that this point will grow in importance as computers become more of a commodity. Apple was just ahead of its time in seeing the computer market as an "art market." |

Hi, does anyone know how much % the boss HP pool increase / number of player from 10-25?
Also does the dmg of mechnics increases per player?
Helpful to know ratio of healer / dps to stack and/or swap around , thanks!
Hi, does anyone know how much % the boss HP pool increase / number of player from 10-25?

Helpful to know ratio of healer / dps to stack and/or swap around , thanks!
about the dps/healer ratio I guess they stated that a quite safe way is to assume 2 tanks, 3 heal, 5 dps, and for every 4 dps you add, add another healer. so you end up with 2/4/9 (15), 2/5/13 (20), 2/6/17 (25).
for the percentages, I can't provide any information. I don't even know if there IS any information out there....
During the first week of SoO, I que'd with my core raid group to knock out the first 4 bosses of Flex SoO to see if we could get any loot. We were just kind of sitting around a bit before pulling Sha of Pride because some extra people wanted to come. Incidently, I had the boss targetted when we had a new person zone into the raid/join the raid, and his total health pool went up by approximately 30M,
So... 30M per person that joins? Maybe? I hope that answers your question.
Intel 6600k at 4.4ghz, 8gb DDR4 Ram @2800mhz, Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 GPU, 500W EVGA 80+Bronze PSU, Corsair 200R case, Seagate 1tb Hybrid HDD, Acer G257HU Monitor, CMSTORM KB and Mouse combo.
It does seem to get easier with more participants, but makeup and competency still matter. As with any raid situation, you need enough healing throughput to match the damage coming from the fight and then the more DPS you have, the easier it is. 15+ seems to be the breaking point between "this is easy" and "I actually have to try" for the groups I've been running with in Flex.
If you have a competent, geared group of 7 or 8, Flex is a joke. If you have a group of 20 LFR-heroes, it will be about as fun as herding cats. Either way, it's a better system than "Looking For Retards" and seems to be worth the effort to run, at least for my alts.
Something else to remember is that the more people you add, the more likely you are to have higher raid buff/debuff coverage to also effect DPS.
It's not per person, its per 3-4 people you add.
So there isnt a fixed math for the % yet, thanks a lot tho
The devs stated that each person you add gives progressively less ´power´ to the boss. In other words, your 25th person would be expected to do significantly less than your 10th person. Their reasoning was something that if you failed with 16 people and the dps were fairly close, they didn´t want you to think that you could just cut the lowest dps for an easier run.
So the boss has
100% health at 10 people
110% at 11 people
119 at 12 people
127 at 13 people
or something like that. It isn´t simple like for every person, they ad 30M hps.. that may be true for the 11 person, but the 25th person would probably only add a small amount, like 15M hps
Interesting. I actually thought it was the other way around.
