My right turn signal... (08 WRX)
Sometimes it's blinking really fast but most of the time it's fine. I know it could be a bulb, fuse, or relay but I am concerned because it doesn't do it consistently. Is it possible that it could be something else entirely?
Any ideas would be great.
Take it into a Subaru dealership, they can fix it, something to do with the tab not contacting right. Both my front turn signals on my 12 had this deal. Idk why it's just happening to yours but this should be the problem.

^ correct, sounds like a short from factory. Let Subaru fix it for free since its their fault. ^rep added;)
I knew this because it drove me crazy for three weeks until I could get it into them ha.
And thanks Blaze!

Mine does the same thing on the same side. Is there a recall or something, why would they fix it for free on an 08 as I'm sure his warranty is up? I know mine is!
Out of warranty might be a problem, I'm not aware it was a recall. For what it's worth it took them about 10 minutes. Maybe there is a write up some where on how to fix it yourself, I'll check nasioc and report back..

"So, this fasting thing…how long should I not eat? Like, a day?"
"If you're feeling gung ho, sure, but I was thinking something a little shorter."
"That sounds easier."
"That's the point. I want you to have success! This really shouldn't be something that's terribly stressful."
"But I won't be eating. That stresses me out!"
"Ideally, we want to get away from being stressed about food, for BOTH sides, when we're eating, and when we're not."
"So not eating should make me less stressed about eating."
"Yeah, that's the idea."
I'm psyched! How do I start?
Let me just take a second and make a point here. Changing nutrition, in any way, can be a cause for stress for people. We don't just eat because we're hungry. We eat for a list of other reasons, from being social, to being bored, or even as a coping mechanism, or as a reward.
That being said, we here at Paleo Plan don't want you to be that one person who isn't going out to eat all the time, and gets the reputation in the office for being a nutritional Nazi. You're already turning down the Friday donuts, so if not eating is going to make you the annoying person at work, school, or home, consider other options. Really.
Having the mantra, "Oh, my god! I can't eat until 2pm today! This is going to be so hard!" isn't going to make this any fun for you.
So how do you start? With a great attitude, a big bottle of water, and a plan.
Alright, so what's the actual protocol?
There are many different protocols suggested by different trainers, experts, and the like. Here at Paleo Plan, we're going to ease you into things. Keep in mind that these are guidelines. I'm not a doctor, although I may be fitter than yours. ;)
Mark Sisson actually did a great breakdown on all the different protocols in his series on fasting, they can be found here. There are many, many options here. We're going to take the most gentle approach possible, and make suggestions about how to move into more "advanced" territory if you're feeling like it's working for you.
12/12 Split
For my clients I always recommend starting with a 12/12 split, meaning that you're fasting for a 12 hour window, then eating for a 12 hour window: i.e. fasting from 7pm to 7am, and eating from 7am to 7pm. The empowering thing about this is that it shouldn't take a lot of adjusting to your schedule. You may have to put off breakfast, or shift dinner a bit, but those should be the only adjustments necessary to make a 12/12 work. This will also make you aware of your eating schedule.
When I first started experimenting with fasting, I was surprised at how much I was snacking in the evenings. You may find something similar, that you either wake up and start throwing stuff down your gullet right after your morning pee, or maybe you make one more pass through the kitchen before heading to bed, and have a bite at a few of those paleo muffins you made this afternoon. Either way, you're probably eating out of habit, as opposed to actually being hungry. Having a bit of a schedule, even just 12/12, will make you more aware of the timing of your meals and eating habits, and can give you good insights for when you want to delve deeper into the world of not-eating.
The 12/12 would be practiced everyday. It's your new way of eating.
Yeah, it's that simple.
I've got the 12/12 down, now what?
If you're finding your groove well with the 12/12 after a few weeks. Great! You may want to move towards some of these other protocols. Once again, this won't be for everyone, listen to your body, in a positive way, and forge on!
Basically, I encourage people to gently head towards a 16/8 (16 hours of fasting, 8 hours of eating). We do this a little at a time.
After the 12/12 has become a habit, start making breakfast a little smaller everyday, then week by week move it an hour later. Pretty soon, you're doing 13 fasting/11 eating, then 14 fasting/10 eating, and over time, you may settle into something akin to a 16 fasting/8 eating, or even a 20/4. Where you "settle in" completely depends on your schedule and preference. You may have really busy Mondays, and do a 16/8 on that day, and do 14/10 the rest of the week. Many of my clients have settled into a 16/8 routine. Meaning, for this example, that their eating window is from 11am to 7pm, and they're fasting for the 16 hours from 7pm to 11am. Some women, especially, find that they settle into a 14 fasting/10 eating a little more naturally, so stay tuned into your body and just nudge things. Don't push it!
The key is to not be obsessive about these numbers! If one day you're 16/8 and the next you'er 18/6, and the next 17.3/7.7, don't stress! It's fine! Just remember that the more consistent you are the more your body will learn to time its expectations of feeding. Meaning that your body will start learning when to be hungry. If you're naturally not hungry, don't force it!
There are ways to fast for a full 24 hours, and they're honestly not all that different than what's above. Our one caution with this type of fast is to only do it for one day a week, or at the very maximum 2 separate days, like Tuesday, & Friday. By doing this type of fast, you will be cutting calories dramatically. For someone who normally consumes 2,000 calories a day, fasting for two 24-hour periods could change your intake from 14,000cal/week to as low as 10,000cal/per week, or the equivalent of just shy of 1,500 cal/day! If you wanted to maintain weight and still fast two days a week, (why?) you'd need to try to get 2,800 cal/day in on the days you are actually eating. Get out your bib!
For more on this 24 hour type of fast Brad Pilon's eBook, Eat Stop Eat is invaluable. Though not Paleo, he is research obsessed and has done his homework. If you're considering intermittent fasting, and would like a great easily searchable resource, it really is worth the investment of his book (apologies for the "sales page" link)
While it's easy to get mired down with specifics, be honest with yourself and find what works best for you. We're all a little different. What the research does show is that giving your body a break from the constant onslaught of calories can be quite beneficial.
How strict is the fast?
Ingesting the least amount of calories possible during your fast would, of course, be best. Your water bottle is going to be your best friend. But also, having a bit of tea, herbal or otherwise throughout the day can at least help you get a little flavor into your system without compromising on calories. The idea is to be as low calories as possible during your fasting times, and let your body naturally deal with the lack of calories in its own, evolutionary way.
What if I'm starving?
You're not. You may be irritable, or "hangry", but you're not starving if you skip a meal or two. And if you're starting with the 12/12, starting your day with two big glasses of water should naturally push off hunger for a while.
You could be craving though, and that means your sugar demons are coming out for battle.
What's the difference between craving and real hunger?
If you're willing to eat vegetables, you're hungry. If not, you're just craving.
May you find strength when facing your sugar demons!
Shouldn't I listen to my body?
Yes. Yes, you should. The problem with this is that most of us are so out of tune with what our bodies really need. It's not our bodies talking: it's our demons.
A heroin addict could make the argument that he's just "listening to his body" as he's shooting up, and he'd be right. Know the difference between real hunger, and sugar cravings or even eating from boredom. If you're not willing to eat vegetables, you're not hungry – you're just craving. Craving means addiction, and that's not so good.
It's really more like Scheduled Eating, huh?
Yup. Intermittent Fasting is going to work best for those of us who have a relatively consistent schedule. Your body does like to be on a schedule with sleeping, working, and eating during generally the same times every day. If you're one of those that changes shifts from graveyard to swing to day shift within a week, it may be really tough to have a consistent time dedicated to not eating. Maybe the 24 hour protocol will work better for you or maybe fasting just won't it into your life right now. Once again, don't stress!
Those of us that are regular 9 to 5-ers may find that simply delaying breakfast every day brings us pretty close to a 16/8, allows us to have nice, relatively big meals to keep our calories up, and still lets us have dinner out a couple times a week with friends to keep our social lives intact.
You mean I can have a social life AND abs?!
Yeah, pretty sweet, huh?
What if my schedule gets knocked off?
One of the great side effects of going for a while without eating is that you learn that you'll survive. If it turns out that your meeting went long at work, and you missed the food truck for lunch, just have a big glass of water, and tell yourself you're not going to eat till dinner. You don't have to stress about it! Your mother always told you that there are people all over the world without enough to eat, and it's true. They make it, and so will you.
I mean, what if I eat too soon, will it wreck everything?
Don't stress. If you happen to have a bite of something at work without realized you weren't "supposed" to eat for another couple hours, its fine. Seriously. Just make a mental note, and do better tomorrow. This shouldn't be stressful!
Try it on.
We're NOT saying this is for everyone! (It may even be detrimental for some.) But if you've plateaued, and can't seem to make any more progress, why not give it a shot? The first few days will be hard, yes, but you may find a new, sustainable practice that will reliably help you towards your goals!
As always, we LOVE comments!

In the past, I have tried fasting from lunch at 2 pm to breakfast the next day, and it works, but it can be hard when my family is eating dinner and I'm not. But I can only do this fast maybe once a week. This past week I started a 10 hour eating window and 14 hour fast. It's really working well to drop some stubborn pounds and it is not that difficult. I'm on my 8th day. It just takes a little planning in regards to when I can start my 10 hour window with breakfast, and what time I need to schedule dinner. So I usually think about what time my husband and kids will be home, and what time I can schedule dinner, and then I count 10 hours backwards to figure what time I can have breakfast. I'm not hungry during the fasting times. It helps to drink a lot of water, and I have some herbal tea if I really want something in the evening. I'm eating strictly paleo, so this helps too. I think I was snacking more than I thought in the evenings, so having a definite fasting period really prevents this.
Thanks Max and Neely for these posts. If it's ok, I'm going to reference this on my blog about my experience trying paleo, zacksnutritionfacts.blogspot.com.
I've been doing different variations of paleo for the past 6 months now and have done a few recent stints of intermittent fasting. I have read about how, when doing IF, you should have a very large meal after your workout and this meal should contain grains and other starchy carbohydrates. What are your thoughts on this? Would you suggest staying with paleo-starches like sweet potato?
Also, for me personally, I've found that grains fuel my athletic performance in CrossFit the way nothing else can. After 6 long months, I think I'm finally getting over my grain addiction and I now feel crummy when I eat a large amount of grain-based food. That said, a protein shake with carb powder (maltodextrin) still gives me the fuel I need in the gym.
Max, as a CrossFit owner, do you believe the pre- and post- workout windows can be "cheat" zones when doing IF?
I am very interested in this but have some MAJOR concerns.
I am a Muay Thai fighter but also work full time, so I train in the morning, and up to 4 hours in the evening, usually finishing around 9pm.
I always use a protein shake for recovery, but am worried that if I don't eat until 1pm in the afternoon, I'm not going to survive and would be starving from the 2 hours of training I do in the morning.
Do you have any thoughts or suggestions about this?
I can handle the 16/8 schedule, but only about 2 or 3 consecutive days a week. Would it be beneficial or detrimental to IF for those 2 days or is it tricking the body too much by going back and fourth?
Thank you so much for giving a detailed layout of IF. I have had several questions about this lifestyle of eating and you have answered most of them. I have been on a roller coaster ride trying to get fitter and reduce my weight. In the last 4 weeks, the scale has stopped moving and I really want to stop moving along with it….lol. The time has come for me to make an attempt with IF/improving my diet and fighting the demons…lol. When it comes to working out, does it matter if I work out before I break my fast for the day? Again, thank you for the wonderful elaboration on IF. Take care.
Hey Max!
I've been reading a lot on IF and I have to say this is by far one of the best (maybe because it allows a 12/12 as opposed to the strict 16/8 schedule lol). I work from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm and I usually go straight to the gym right after (I get to the gym at around 6:00 pm). I'm thinking of doing a 14/10 IF, my eating window would be between 12pm to 10pm and I would fast until 12 the next day. My concern is that I usually have a decent size meal after my workout (around 8-9pm) and I was wondering if that would affect my weight loss even with the fasting.
Thank you!
Hi Max! I am just now starting Paleo, this would be day 1 for me, and eat on a pretty basic schedule. CrossFit is at 6am before I start my day. I have always had a pre and post workout meal of some sort. When you say the workout is optimal in post-fasting, does this mean I should not have anything besides water between waking up and working out? And if I have a post workout meal, doesn't that make the 16/8 more difficult? Help please :)
Hey Sarah!!
Great to here you're starting Paleo!!
First off, try not to make yourself too crazy with trying so many things at once Paleo + IF can be a LOT if you haven't already been doing one, i want to make sure that you're not setting yourself up for frustration!!
If you are going to do the whole shebang, there are a couple of ways to make it work.
A – The first I would suggest, and probably the easiest, would be to simply have your 8 hour eating window start after your morning workout, provided that you're hungry then. (so yes, just water before the workout). You're eating would start at around 7:30 am or so, and you're last meal would be around 3:30 in the afternoon. This means that you're getting in a good deal of fasting before bedtime. This can be quite challenging, as that's when munchies tend to happen, as well as that's when social eating tends to happen.
B – The other thing you could try is not eating right after the workout. Your post workout meal is still post workout, even if it's an hour or two later. Sure you're not getting it in some optimal window, but the difference isn't so huge as to make you stress. If you could push off that first meal till 10am (You REALLY have to feel this out) you'd then have till 6pm.
C – Some women like the 14/10 split better. Your metabolisms are different, and some find the 18 hours to be a bit much. If you started eating at 10am every day, that would give you till 8pm to finish up. That doesn't sound too bad to me at all.
D – try the 24 hour fast instead. Pick a 24 hour period where you're going to be busy, but not doing Murph 4 times, say, from lunch Monday, to lunch Tuesday, and don't eat for that time frame.
I would be cautious about combining both of these (24 + 16/8). It's more of an either/or thing. We don't want to give you eating issues. ;)
Also, remember that you don't have to be optimal all the time. People's lives rarely are, unless they're being paid to be optimal. Yes, you should stay the course, but if a dinner with old friends puts you into a 12/12 split instead of a 14/10 or even a 16/8…don't OCD over it, you know?
Let me know if I just clarified or confused you!! ;)
Hi Max,
first of all, i want to say thank you for ur awesome post.. so i heard about intermittent fasting from a friend of mine and he said it can helps you to build more muscle and feel healthier.. as i heard him saying that, i was like "wow… why dont i give this a try.." so my first question is what he's saying is true? ive been doing the 16/8 period of fasting since last saturday and has been going good so far.. the only thing is that i dont really eat at the same time during those 8 hours eating period but i make sure to eat at least 2 meals within those 8 hours. i normally go for breakfast and lunch. then i skip dinner… this leads to my second question, do i have to eat at the same hours or i can eat at whatever hours i want as long as i keep thos 16/8 window?
the other reason for me doing this is also to lose some weight of course… i think ive hit my plateau… i want to lose the last 5-10lbs of my weight and be very lean yet looking toned… i dont really go to gym but i used to in the past… so my third question is can this fasting alone help me to achieve my goal? if so how long? im 5'6″ and weight around 120lbs by the way… and my final question is how long should i do this fasting for? i know this fasting is good, so i think i should do it for a certain period of time. but i dont know how often. is it every week or month or year ?
thanks alot..
Hi, I am looking into doing this as I do not have breakfast
now as it is, however I do have a coffee every morning, but all the
same I am used to not eating for long periods. Just a question, are
nop-carb protein shakes allowed during the fasting phase or does
that still have calories? I was looking at fasting each day from
9pm – 1pm Unfortunatley I play rugby and work during the day,
therefore my training sessions are from 6pm – 8pm, if I do a gym
session before hand my training times will be from 5pm – 8pm
instead of straight after the fasting phase ends. Will this be an
issue? Am I best to have 2 small meals before training with no
carbs or little carbs and have my large meal directly after
I started fasting on alternate days about 4 weeks ago, because I started calorie-counting and realized that I was over-compensating with food after vigorous exercise, which was why I wasn't seeing any of the results I expected after several months. I was really amazed at how my hunger (read: craving) pangs disappeared on the 2nd fasting day; on the first fasting day, I thought I was going to DIE (read: DIEEEEE).
I realized very shortly after starting that, exactly as you've stated, I wasn't in touch with how my body felt and I am getting much better at differentiating between real hunger (I do resort to vegetables sometimes! or soymilk) and cravings. Just this past week I've started the 20/4 split, since I was suffering from some chronic headaches, and I feel this works very well for me right now.
What began as a short-term, weight loss program will probably progress into a lifestyle change because I've noticed other chronic problems have been alleviated due to fasting and eating less, e.g. GERD/indigestion, flatulence, difficulty waking. I would encourage anyone to try this method, especially if they are already health-conscious. It is very important though to begin slowly; I didn't and I suffered some of the consequences. Even though I will continue down this road, I hope that starting abruptly didn't cause any permanent damage. I really appreciate your posts on the subject and I hope that some people are really helped by all the different kinds of IF.
Hi Max,
I've been doing the intermittent fasting from 7p to 11a for about 2 months now. I recently realized that my multivitamin, Vitafusion gummies, contains 15 calories.
I usually take them when I first get up in the morning around 8am.
I notice you say NO calories should be consumed within the fasting time frame, does this mean I would need to wait until after 11a before I take my multivitamin??
I normally work Monday-Friday from 7am-3:30pm. I work in a hospital so I'm constantly on my feet moving around,lifting and transporting patients around. I usually run or do my weight training right after I get off from work. My question is when do you suggest I start my fasting? I was doing a 16:8 window where I had my last meal at 7pm then my first small meal around 11am followed by a workout around 3:30-4:00 pm. I heard its better to workout towards the end of your fasting. Do you have any suggestions on how I can work this out? I have that endomorph body type so my main goal is to drop a lot of body fat. Your awnser would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hello, I will be ending a bulk cycle and stumbled upon intermittent fasting and found it to be intriguing. I will be attempting weight loss while holding onto as much muscle gains possible. I can only seem to find info that is based on an early morning workouts? I work from 9 till 2pm. I was thinking that I could start my fasting at night, 10 or 11pm. I work as a prep cook so the activity isn't too intense. Anyway, the question is this, could one start a late night fast roughly an hr. Or 2 before bedtime, wake up, go to this type of job activity, finish work, come home and perform a routine weight lifting regiment then break the fast shortly after that? I understand that bcaa's play a role in preserving muscle. 10g dose before and after a workout. What do you think about taking 10g of bcaa during my work (prepping)? Would that help or just be a waste? Thank you
This post is right on time. I have been frustrated with a plateau in my weight loss (down 33 pounds since mid-January, but want to drop another 54). I have been looking for recommendations on how to keep things going, and I think that I'd like to try intermittent fasting. My schedule works really well with IF. Thanks for this great write up. It was very informative. Unlike some other articles I've seen, you answered my question of "How many days a week should I fast?" Clearly, the 12/12 could become a staple, and build up to other time splits. I appreciate your comment about not stressing. I can become a bit obsessive/compulsive about sticking to a plan. It's good to get a reminder to take a breath. Consistency is good, but freaking out over messing up a routine is not.
Full disclosure: I am not currently on a paleo diet.
How do you think about ending a 8 hour window with a workout?
LeanGain suggests ending the fast with a work out, but i have a job and the schedule doesn't simply fit for me
So i eat breakfast at 8, lunch 12, dinner 5 and then play tennis till 6pm..
and i dont eat after that.
i'm not sure if i can skip breakfast haha i was so much of a breakfast-person
So can the 12/12 be adjusted for my work hours? most nights I work til 8, so by the time I get dinner, my fast couldn't start til 9. As long as I didn't eat breakfast before 9 the next day would that be ok? Also, what if when aiming for the 12/12 i am a little off, like i don't eat breakfast til 9:30 or 10. Is it important to eat at identical times?
This is really great. I am not Paleo and I eat carbs (don't freak out, lol) usually 2 slices a bread once a day, not much more than that in the realm of "bad carbs". But I am starting to research IF because after losing 60 pounds (I still have 60 more to go) my eating clock has naturally fallen into eating between 10am & 8pm which according to this article is what seems to be what women naturally fall into. My weight loss is a result of eating healthy foods (cutting out junk food and my 11am nachos I used to have everyday) and daily exercise. That being said I count calories and aim for a 500 calorie deficit each day which is a 1 pound weight loss each week, with my current eating plan, IF will help me cut a few calories each day by not mindlessly eating at night and in the mornings. I do have a full fat cup of coffee in the AM to stabilize my blood sugars and/or a banana if I workout in the mornings. These are things I need to do for my health, but even so IF will help me keep trim. It really seems like it is something I can do for life, even after I hit my goal weight. Thanks for the post. I have already been IFing for 3 days now, and will try it for a few weeks. Hopefully I will see good results!!! :)
I started on Monday with 22/2 because it only takes me 2 hours to eat everything for the day. It works with my schedule since I get home around 5. I am good all day but it is now Saturday and I am not working.
I was wondering if I don't go all out crazy I should have a day off. For me I fill up on protein first then eat fruit and vegies then look for something sweet…gotta have the sweet for some reason.
Today I started with a 1/2 teaspoon of BCAA plain whey protein isolate in my tea this morning and sipped it before during and after the workout. Is this what is making me feel like eating early? I am 4 hours from my window.
I definitely felt the extra 'go' in my workout so I believe I sensed my body was going into the "we are feeding now" phase. Maybe I should work with a larger window on weekends.
Hi Max, I'm pretty interested in reading about doing IF as a way of life; admittedly in part because I'd like to shift a few extra kg and am not 100% sure why I'm struggling so much with that. Long story short, I eat very regularly – before training, after training (that's my 'breakfast'), snack, lunch, snack before training (if it's a 2-a-day day) and dinner – but not purely out of force of habit. I'm just incredibly hungry most of the time. I avoid processed foods, grains and most dairy, eat a lot of vegetables and proteins and minimise starchy foods… But I get serious hunger issues. In the past, when I've 'delayed' eating a meal, I've made myself so unwell (after bouts of stomach cramps) that I've felt sick for the rest of the day. Does this mean I'm not a good candidate for IF? Or that my body is sad and weak somehow…? :( I
Also, how do you manipulate windows to allow you to eat pre and post training if you train both am and pm? I'm definitely thinking of purchasing Eat Stop Eat to help me figure this out and I'm sorry for the multiple questions! Thank you :)
Sorry to be a bother but I'm really interested in this fasting program to lose last bit of fat.(I'm around 12% and want to be at 7-8%) I'm a crossfitter and my workout times are usually from ~4:30- 6:30 pm. So when would my eating period be? On the weekends the gym times change into the am and mid-day times so should I change my window or just not fast those days? Also I do want to loose this last bit of fat as fast as possible. Cheers!
Dear Paleo Plan,
Wonderful article – thank you for this. I have a few questions though.
1. Could you also do a 20/4 or 19/5 but tjhen eat your big meal at night? say, from 6 p.m to 11 p.m? I eat paleo for five years now, but have a continuous struggle with 'grazing'. I tend to eat too little – in fear of gaining fat – and then naturally graze all day long – for Im constantly kinda hungry. Also, I find it easier to eat the right stuff at night, but I am missing out the right stuff because I worry about calorie intake during the day, and then limit myself too much at dinner. For example: I never crave veggies/protein/hearty foods in the morning – only later in the day – so I basically live of fruits etc. with sometimes a small serving of lean turkey. I tried the whole30 to battle this, and completed the program without mess-ups, but still, I cant get myself to sip bone broth in the morning, even though I know its a far better start of the day than apples with raisins and carrots. So my new thought is – why not give day time fasting a try, and then eat my lean beef, sweet potatoes and veggies at night? Basically, IF, but in a different timeframe..I am really excited about this and would love to hear your thoughts on this.
2. I am not overweight, but I have a huge amount of fat on my belly – seriously – to the point that I consider liposuction all the time, just because nothing seems to work, eating a lot, eating a little, exercising a lot, etc. My arms and legs and butt are fine – it all goes straight to the tummy…Would IF help you think? I soooo badly wish it will..
3. I think Crossfit is amazing, but: 1. I have a bad back (scheuermann) and 2. I really, sadly, dont like my crossfit gym and theres no other nearby..What are your thoughts on intensive yoga practise and running, say 3 times a week 3-4 miles, and 2 times a week an intensive (sweaty) 60 min yoga practice? Will that also work in combination with IF? and do you recommend eating before/after?
Sorry for this long post! Hope you can answer my questions!

- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 small bay leaves
- 1/3 cup dry red wine
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Two 28-ounce cans diced tomatoes with their liquid, 1 can pureed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 6 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 cup plain dried bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 1/2 pounds ground pork
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 hero rolls, split
- 3/4 pound thinly sliced provolone cheese
In a pot, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic and crushed red pepper and season with salt and black pepper. Cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, 5 minutes. Add the basil, thyme, oregano and bay leaves and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine and sugar and bring to a boil. Cook until most of the wine is evaporated, 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes. Cover partially and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, 30 minutes. Discard the bay leaves.
Preheat the oven to 400° and brush 2 rimmed baking sheets with olive oil. In a medium skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, oregano, fennel seeds, sage and crushed red pepper and cook over low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, 5 minutes; scrape into a bowl and let cool.
Add the bread crumbs to the bowl with the cheese, eggs, milk, salt and parsley. Add the pork and beef and knead gently until combined. Roll the mixture into 32 meatballs, about 2 1/2 inches each, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, until nearly cooked through, shifting the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through baking.
Gently fold the meatballs into the tomato sauce. Simmer over moderate heat, covered, until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Wipe off the baking sheets. Set the open rolls on the baking sheets and top both halves with the sliced provolone. Bake for about 5 minutes, until the cheese melts. Spoon the meatballs onto the rolls and top with the sauce. Serve right away.

Opening comments
"We feel very fortunate. I think we played better tonight. I think we were more in tune to detail. We were much more active defensively than we have been. Let's be honest, they're not going to shoot 25% in the first half just because of our defense. They missed some good shots. At the same time, we shot 42% in the first half, and I counted five layups we missed. That's part of college basketball as well. For us to be a really good team, we've got to defend better, we've got to rebound better, but we did rebound better at times.
"For us, it was a good night - 26 (points) and 10 (rebounds) for Harrison. I did tell him in the locker room that he had 10 more rebounds than `wicked' Wanda tonight. I'm proud of him. John was active defensively. Kendall made some really nice passes. And I told him he made some I didn't even think about. One time he said, `well that was the only pass I could make to get to him.' I said, `well you didn't get it to him.' For us, we are very pleased. The rebound margin is pretty big, but you have to look at the points on second shot opportunities. The rebound numbers are misleading. We didn't finish some of those plays. Texas is awfully young. They're going to be a big-time club; they've got to grow a little bit more. But we're happy they weren't quite as big-time tonight."
On improvement from last game
"We were more aggressive, we were alert. We didn't miss 27 free throws, or whatever it was the other night. I think we were better in every phase of the game, and I expected that. We worked really hard and had a good practice yesterday morning."
On Harrison Barnes' performance
"I told him I thought he'd be great tonight. I really thought that he would be more active than the last few games. At the same time, you only play 21 games. Everyone only looks at the points, but I look at what we're doing defensively, and I really thought he was more active tonight. If he's attacking the basket, I like that. I also like when he shots the three-point shot. He's got a wide variety of options, and hopefully we moving forward where we can use all of them."
Listen to Audio (4:42)
Playing a big game after two easy wins
"We have been in these situations enough to know we have to come ready to play in this type of game especially with everything last year and we haven't beaten them the last three times we've played them."
On the defensive intensity
"We got a lot of stops and we started getting rebounds and pushing and running our break so that helps a lot."
"Coach has been stressing that the guards have to get more pressure (on defense). We can't just rely on Z taking a charge or John cleaning off the glass. We have to take it upon ourselves to pressure up and get more steals. I think that's what made a difference tonight."
Dexter and P.J. dunks
"Those are momentum plays. Passing the ball back to Dexter and Dexter getting a dunk. PJ getting a dunk. John too. That boosts our team moral. It's hard to play against a team like that."
On why he wanted to beat Texas
"I'll never forget that shot (last year against Texas). THat was our first time losing on a last second buzzer beater. I came off a double screen so I was going to take my first big shot. So I was happy and I thought we are going to win the game and we are going to get our first big win. Then end up losing like that. Definitely wanted to (win) and especially at home."
Listen to Audio (1:47)
On wanting to beat Texas
"Maybe my sophomore year, they kicked our butts and that's been on my mind. Last year, Brown hit a big shot and put us away and we couldn't come back from that. It was something that one, we really wanted to beat them and two, we are going home from Christmas so you don't want to be sitting on a loss for the next five days. Both of those together, I think we had a great focus and a good attention to detail. We still have to get better and make sure that we continue that."
On the big time atmosphere and how the team responded
"It easier to get up for the big games. I think that is what we are capable of, but we have to continue to get better. We have to do that every game, we can't just show up for the big games. It's tough, but you have to do it."
On Harrison Barnes' play
"We have always known he's a fantastic player. He got into the zone and he was feeling good and hitting shots. And he was getting to the basket. We did a great job giving him space so he could get there. When they helped over, he made passes. I think he played fantastic."
On the effort to attack the rim
"We always try to do that. We know if do that, outside shots open up and our shooters did a good job with that. It's what we had tonight and we took advantage of it."
Listen to Audio (2:26)
On the team playing a full 40 minutes
"We had a few lapses out there but if we can play this type of level all season, I think we'll be fine."
"We got after it on the defensive end and got them to speed up. Granted they were a young team and they hadn't experienced anything like that."
On giving Texas a little payback for the past two years
"Feels great. I know a few guys on the team and played with them when I was living in Texas. Coach Barnes and the whole staff, I know them really well. It is good to win against guys like that because they did beat us down the last two years."
On having fun playing
"It was a fun game. I said earlier we lost ourselves in the game. We had one goal and that was to win the game no matter what or what we had to do. That's what happens when you are having fun."
"We were more intense, more prepared and came out that way."
On attacking the rim more tonight than in the past few games
"Be aggressive. It started with Dexter's dunk, to be honest with you. We fed off him and off that energy and kept it going."
Listen to Audio (2:45)
On the 40 minute performance
"Our energy was there for the majority of the night and Coach was happy with that. I think we are all looking forward to going home and spending time with our families before we get back at it."
"We wanted to get out to great start. Coach made a point to us that he hasn't beaten Texas since he got back to Carolina. He lost to them in the tournament and two years in a row - down at Cowboy stadium and last year in Greensboro. Coach doesn't like losing so he was very pumped up for this game and we followed his lead."
On the defense tonight
"From the beginning, we knew defense would have to set the tone. One of the key points that coach talked about was their offensive rebounding and how hard they hit the boards. All credit to Coach Barnes, he does a great job of having them play hard and crash the boards. I think they had 14 rebounds in the first half, but I think for the most part we did a great job on that. We were able to neutralize JCovan Brown in the first half and he's a tremendous player. He leads them and he's one of their older players so that helped us out."
Talk about Dexter and PJ's dunks
"It was all about getting stops on defense. Both of those came out of fast breaks. Dex swung it Harrison and Harrison swung it right back real quick and he was able to make an athletic play. PJ got on the wing and ran and I fixed it up to him. It was a little sloppy but he got there and finished strong and it really helped the crowd get into the game and got everyone excited."
On the offense clicking
"Coach talks about letting our defense make our offense. That's one thing I think we did a great job of tonight. Getting stops against a team that crashes the board as hard as Texas does, makes it a lot easier to get out and run so we were able to get a lot of easy buckets."
Listen to Audio (5:17)
On rebounding
"I'm disappointed because we started the game knowing we were going to have to block out because of their length. The very first two plays of the game [John] Henson catches the ball in the block, and we just turned and acted like we were going to try to jump but just didn't do it. It's disappointing from our point of view, and all you have to do is look at our front line guys. When they have more offensive rebounds than we have defensive rebounds that's a major problem. Then when you look at our front line guys, Alexis Wangmene has no defensive rebounds, Clint Chapman had two, and Jaylen Bond - our smallest guy - had five. Then Johnathan Holmes had one, so that's a big problem right there.
"Our guards needed to come down and rebound and be a part of it, but our problem started on the offensive end. We just weren't disciplined on the offensive end - and that's my fault. I told them that we will get that fixed after Christmas because we are going to get the guys out there that understand that it's team game, and that we are going to really do the things that we practice. Not to take anything away from North Carolina, but we never gave ourselves a chance to win the game."
On where a lack of discipline was most evident
"Offense, no doubt. On the very first play of the game, we had talked about for two days what we wanted to run, and we don't run it. That's discipline, four guys know it and one guy doesn't. So, we have got to get somebody that is going to run our team and run our offense. We are starting three guards, so it's not like it should be a problem, but we are not playing with a purpose on the offensive end. We've got a long ways to go, but we've enough guys that want to do this thing and we'll get it fixed."

Re: What is your AVERAGE ECONOMY in your cluster?
9.2mpg, last time I reset was maybe 7-8,000 miles ago. 80% of my driving is within a 1 mile range. It used to be in the 8's so I'm actually pretty happy about 9.2 lol. I have 2 lades, my other says 9.7 but I do more highway driving with that one. Another weird thing is that I can fit in about 2-3 more gallons of fuel in my 2009 than in my 2007.

Re: What is your AVERAGE ECONOMY in your cluster?
I hit a new record driving to Chicago & back yesterday for a concert. 300 mile round trip, no wind, 23.2MPG. Watching the average during the trip - it went down to 21.4 while driving around town but steadily crept up on the way back.
Side note: Another comment about this being untrue and I'm off this board. You can figure out on your own why you are getting single-digit fuel economy while gas is $4+ per gallon. I'm giving helpful information and spending time typing posts, but no need to do this with naysayer childish comments being made.

What was your average speed for the trip? Also, were you using the a/c or have any windows down?
Re: What is your AVERAGE ECONOMY in your cluster?
I have gotten 20.5-ish out of mine on a 400 mile trip. I wouldn't say these results are typical because I do pride myself on being able to squeeze everything I can out of a gallon of gas. I would like to get a little more out of it once it gets some miles on it. Another member was getting something like 24+ out if his, this was with extensive tuning though. Not sure he had as much fun driving it as the rest of us do.
My around town/highway mileage is awful though, I like hearing that exhaust note!!!FORUM RULES, PLEASE READ!!!!
Re: What is your AVERAGE ECONOMY in your cluster?
It all went out the window after I put a Corsa catback on mine...stupid foot! Keeps mashing on the gas
Re: What is your AVERAGE ECONOMY in your cluster?
On a side note, in a couple of weeks I'm driving 1000 miles flat ground from DC to Miami on a straight highway shot at night with no traffic ... I'll set the DIC at the start and see what it shows at the end. At 70/75mph I'll be happy if I get 17/18 mpg.
Re: What is your AVERAGE ECONOMY in your cluster?
17-18mpg is a realistic number with cruise control engaged, although 75mph is kind of fast while trying to get decent mileage. To get good mileage, don't use cruise. You sacrifice a lot by accelerating up hills to maintain speed.FORUM RULES, PLEASE READ!!!!
Re: What is your AVERAGE ECONOMY in your cluster?
I don't think there is much of an elevation change tween DC and Miami, it's mostly through low country and Florida ... in that setting it might actually consume more gas trying to sustain an average speed footually (I don't know what the foot version of manually is) than to use cruise.

Re: What is your AVERAGE ECONOMY in your cluster?
I believe the above poster being able to get 23mpg. Bc when I first got my 2010 escalade base model with 18 inch wheels. It was after totalling my previous car from loosing control. So I was afraid to drive and drove like a turtle everywhere. Never going above speed limit and always cruising keeping a steady pace and leaving plenty of room between me and other cars. Now that I got my confidence back. I get 13.5mpg's

Any low double digit mpgs is almost always attributed to a constant steady or heavy application to the gas
Y'all's new Escalades should easily out perform my 98 Deville IF your driving habits don't adversely affect it
City driving is the ONLY time u should see low double digit mpg
If ur seeing it on the highway at cruising speeds than u may have a heavy foot
Re: What is your AVERAGE ECONOMY in your cluster?
As always, fuel mileage depends on the driver, the vehicle, the driving conditions and locations, and the way the driver operates the vehicle.
I don't own a "Cadillac" variant of a GMC or Suburban truck and probably never will - but the rest of the 20-odd vehicles I've owned have had gas mileage splattered all over the map - from <10 mpg to way over 30.
My current 3 - the STS and 2 F-150's - vary widely: The STS goes from a low of ~14 in slow city driving to 25.2 on long Florida runs. Depending on load and road type, the F-150's vary from 11 or so to a max of 18.3 (they're both 4WD 4.6L trucks). Both types use Shell 87, and the STS gets Shell 93 when doing crazy Caroline County road runs or at the Cecil County Dragway.
As in all vehicles with onboard fuel computers, the short-term and long-term figures vary widely, are constantly dynamic, and take longer to settle out on highway trips if you don't reset the totals at fillup and instead simply let the system continuously calculate its own figures. If you learn how to use that little calculator in your cell phone you can always use the time-honored instant gratification fallback at fillup: Miles traveled / gallons used = gas mileage (for that tank).
"My gas mileage is better than your gas mileage" is a moving target argument - there is NO real answer................. and, if someone wants to start an argument they had better be ready for counter-arguments and spicy language - no reason for name-calling or administrative action unless the argument/thread goes into the sewer. Then posts and people begin to disappear.

Here is an after/before shot of the bezels.
The first time I painted them, I did a few coats and let them air dry. They wrinkled like crazy, but luckily the epoxy peeled off easily so I could try again. For the next try, I did two coats and then cured it in an oven for a few minutes. Unfortunately I don't remember the temperature or the time, but it was probably something like 150 for 20 minutes. They came out without wrinkling that time.
Hey my job is to protect those damn gaudy chrome fog bezels! Seriously though, my company makes those and I'm the packaging designer/engineer haha. Don't worry I hate the look of the chrome too! It's funny how much we invest on protecting our product and half of them get painted over anyway.
But anyway that drop is perfect dude. It will look sick with the gold rims, but I'm partial as I have some gold BBS's on my black WRX too.

House Music Gonna Set You Free…(continued)
Chicago, 1986.
By now, the movement known as House is gaining momentum with every record dropped on a slipmat. The sound, borne out of the sweaty, crowded dancefloors in New York, Detroit, and Chicago is fanning out across America, and the globe.
The irony of House is it was a music style that originated in America, heavily influenced by European music, that was heavily influenced by American music IN THE FIRST PLACE.
That ought to keep you up for a few nights trying to work that out…
House music is an odd bird. You can say where it may have started, but it always feels like it was just waiting for its time to emerge, as if it were always here to begin with. Just laying dormant beneath the veneer of cocaine and garish polyester.
Just like it had been with disco, those that exist at the margins of so-called polite society carried the torch. Black, Latino, and Gay influences abounded in House, and still do, right up to present day. The producers, the singers, the musicians, the dancers.
House also had a significant deeper meaning. With AIDS ravaging the community, House music was literally a sanctuary. It was the gospel for a forgotten tribe, the soundtrack for a misfit family. The Reagan/Thatcher years ushered in a new Puritanism. Its proponents and supporters preached that AIDS was "God's revenge."
House music provided an alternative message. Not without a sense of irony, House also borrowed heavily from gospel music. The call and response was lifted right out of Black American churches. When placed in juxtaposition with House, it fit seamlessly.
In a lot of ways, House music is a lot like Jeet Kune Do, the martial art developed by Bruce Lee. Yes, it is pretty badass, but that's not quite, what I had in mind…
House music is a form without form. It can be whatever you want, and marries well with other forms and styles to create a new style. It adopts all kinds of instruments naturally.
Like a piano, for example…
In 1986, Marshall Jefferson was producing music and DJing in Chicago, like so many others. He came into contact with Larry Sherman, owner of Trax Records. He had an idea for a new House track, something completely different from the heavily synthesized, almost metronomic sound of most House at the time.
Jefferson wanted to breathe a little humanity back into the music.
He decided to use piano instead.
"Move Your Body" became the first House music track to use a piano, and the effect was seismic. People went mental for it. It became the House anthem. It seemed to perfectly encapsulate the joy of the music, and make a definitive social statement about the culture at the same time.
House music gonna set you free, indeed…
Meanwhile, similar things were happening across Lake Michigan, in Detroit, a city with it's own storied musical legacy. The Midwest would prove to be the epicenter of a major musical revolution…
House Music Gonna Set You Free (continued)
No one is entirely sure who coined the the term "House." No one is entirely sure when, or where it was first used.
What we do know is it's here, and it ain't going nowhere.
The past lessons of Disco, New Wave, Hi-NRG, were merging and converging in various cities. The irony is that the music of Europe, in the form of bands like Kraftwerk, Yazoo, Soft Cell, Bronski Beat, and Depeche Mode, hit the shores, naturally establishing a beachhead in New York. From there, visiting DJs spread out to Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, Atlanta and Miami. These songs found their way into the crates alongside Latin dance music and Italo disco. The DJs?
Larry Levan, Junior Vasquez, Frankie Knuckles, Tom Moulton, Farley Jackmaster Funk, among many others were spinning in clubs, but more importantly, they were engineers and mixers at recording studios. Well versed in the arts of making dance records, they took those finely honed talents, along with the now affordable and available synthesizers and drum machines, like the Roland 808 (as in 808 State), these DJs and studio technicians were at the centre of an all too perfect storm.
As I previously stated, this is where things get fun, but tricky. Depending on who you would ask, there are several origins that describe how House gained its moniker.
Story #1: The Warehouse in Chicago. What Mecca is to a Muslim pilgrim, the Warehouse is to House music connoisseurs. Frankie Knuckles is probably its most famous alumnus, but many of the first generation DJs have blessed the decks at one time or another. When the downtown clubs resegregated, Black, Latino, and gay clubbers found a home at the Warehouse, where the DJs would spin their home recorded dance tracks. Eventually they would manage to get a mass pressing of vinyl distributed. It would go on to be known as "Warehouse Music," which eventually was shorthanded to…(drum roll, please!) House Music.
Story #2: South Side Chicago DJ Leonard "Remix" Roy worked old soul and R&B records into his sets. He acquired many of the records from his mother's house, hence the term.
Story #3: Clubs in major cities always had at least one DJ who was not just playing records, they were also making records that would be, for the most part, played in that club only. Like the "house" wine or salad dressing, they would have music synonymous with that club or house.
Story # 4 : DJ Larry Heard believes the term was coined from the fact that many of the early pioneers recorded the tracks at home.
Maybe only one of them is true. Maybe none of them. I like to think they all happened around the same time. Like a virus, the idea grew and spread, until it became a concept, then a movement.
So, what was the first track?
Again, it's tricky. Elements of house were forming as far back as 1980. Hi-NRG had some of the major components, but it was still just a diamond in the rough. Italo Disco was close, but still, no cigar. Jesse Saunders essentially laid down the true blueprint in 1984 with "On And On." It is to house music what the wheel was to transportation.
There were others released at the same time as "On And On," but none with as much impact.
Then a fella by the name of Marshall Jefferson came along, and changed the game….
House Music Gonna Set You Free (continued)
I blame Giorgio Moroder for all of this….
He got this wild notion in his head for Disco to sound like some space-age symphony. While everyone else was rushing to put whole orchestras on a record, the half-German, half-Italian producer went light years in the opposite direction and created an orchestra of one.
Thus Euro-Disco is born. Euro-Disco would then merge with punk and voilà, you have New Wave!
Ideas are a lot like the common cold. Once it infects others, it spreads fast. Pretty soon, everybody's got it. That also explains some of the appalling fashion trends of the Eighties.
Disco never died. It certainly didn't die in Chicago in 1979. Like any popular fad, it lost public interest and stayed with the people who truly cared about it. Disco was just another name for something to dance to. To that end, it then became Hi-NRG. Not much of a name. Think of it as a cultural place holder.
The pieces were slowly falling into place, though. R&B and Disco permanently bonded. D-Train came out of Brooklyn with the same drive as the subway line. You're The One For Me wasn't House in the purest sense, but the blueprint had been established.
As a coastal city, New York was absorbing sounds brought over from visitors and its resident club DJs making record buying forays to Europe. Heavily synthesized Italian disco fit in perfectly with the American R&B dance music. Add the Latin Influence of Salsa and Merengue music, along with powerhouse female vocalists like Jocelyn Brown, Gloria Gaynor, and Martha Wash…
You see where this is heading, don't you?
Each music form fed of the other, influencing, imitating, and replicating, like some mutated musical fetus. A beautiful, mutated, musical fetus.
Arthur Baker was a DJ and producer from Boston who soaked up the hip and electro coming out of New York. He'd been there with Afrika Bambatta, and he made the acquaintance of three young men from Manchester who were still reeling from the loss of their lead singer. He took their lyrics and set it to a four on the floor beat.
Tell me now, how should I feel…
Actually, Baker lifted the hook from another NY producer, Bobby O, better known as Bobby Orlando. Bobby O and Arthur Baker are to house what Little Richard and Elvis were to Rock. Both men were originators and innovators. Bobby O didn't gain as much notice because most of music was unapologetically for the gay crowd. Nevertheless, he put out music at a rate that would have scared Prince.
But all wasn't joy in the Eighties.
AIDS was claiming a vast cross section of the people within the creative scene. Paranoia over the disease, coupled with the one-two combo of Reagan and Thatcher ushered in a new Puritanical Age. "Do It 'Til You're Satisfied" was replaced with "Just Say No."
Now, here's where things get a bit tricky…Fun, but tricky…
House Music Gonna Set You Free, Part II
Disco is now a dirty word in America. Ronald Reagan is about to take office and send the world into a nationalistic, evangelical Dark Age. Strange times are ahead…
The haters were confident that Disco, their sworn enemy, was finally, and permanently dead, consigned to the musical and cultural scrap-heap. No longer would red-blooded, heterosexual, American men feel the need to dress up in garish polyester shirts, tight, crotch-hugging gabardine slacks, platform shoes, and engage in mindless casual sex and Himalayan mountain ranges of cocaine.
America was once again safe.
To be fair, Disco hadn't done itself any favours. Like some of its loyal followers, Disco hadn't been selective about mating partners. Like any musical revolution, once the popular market got its grimy hands all over the scene, doom was written on the cards.
Pop music is a cultural vampire. It latches on to whatever is hot at the time, sucks all the available creative juices, until all that is left is a dried out husk.
When Disco first started, the music was inspired, passionate, delightfully and deliriously over the top. Artists like Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band brought back 1930′s big band swing with disco hips. Silver Connection dropped a disco bomb in the middle of a classical orchestra, straight outta Munich. Even credible rock acts like Blondie, Rod Stewart, and The Electric Light Orchestra were getting in on the act.
Then Nile Rodgers got turned away by Steve Rubell at the doors of Studio 54. Chic started a revolution. When Le Freak dropped, it was the Never Mind The Bollocks of disco.
Of course, no musical revolution is complete without mind-altering chemicals. Jazz had marijuana. Psychedelic rock had LSD. Disco had COCAINE.
Lots and lots and lots of cocaine. Pure, white, fluffy, tasty….I'm sorry, where was I?
Cocaine was everywhere during the Golden Age of Disco. It was a cool time. You had to figure there would be snow…
Of course, the good times couldn't last. By the late 70′s the musical output had deteriorated so much, Hollywood stars like Ethel Merman were making disco records. Google her, kids. She was a big star back in the day, trust me.
It would be hard to take a musical style seriously that didn't take its shelf life into consideration. Disco wanted to live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse.
Well, two out of three ain't bad (Thanks, Meat Loaf!).
Previously, I quoted the first Law of Thermodynamics. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only become another energy form.
That law can also be applied to music. Music is a form of energy. Sound energy, to be precise. Vibrating waves that hit the eardrum, causing it to vibrate.
…And the beat goes on.
Disco was the amphibian taking its first steps on land. It was never meant to remain static.
It was as if everyone had forgotten that caterpillars form a cocoon. After a dormant period, a butterfly emerges.
Let's hop into the DeLorean, shall we? (Sidebar: I love the fact that the DeLorean is such a cultural icon. Who else but a guy who funded his company dealing coke could come up with the idea of building a car out of stainless steel? You can't make this stuff up, people!)
Fast forward five years to 1985. I'll fill you in on the way…
People still wanted to dance. They just wanted to wear different stupid clothing.
Disco wasn't the only casualty of the time. Rock had become a bloated carcass of 60′s bands getting rich and insanely high off of past glory. Punk emerged, a lean, mean predator that burned out even faster than Disco. It was meant to. Strangely enough, without either culture knowing it, Punk and Disco, which had flirted occasionally (See Heart Of Glass, by Blondie), now rutted with a savage intensity.
New York and London witnessed the carnage, first hand. In impoverished neighborhoods, where gang violence was rife, a gang leader named Afrika Bambatta heard a DJ spinning Trans Europe Express, by Kraftwerk, a German group of four men and their synthesizers. Around the same time, Martin Gore and Vince Clark were in Basildon, Essex, listening to German electronic music.
Although neither of the parties realized it, but they would go on to become pioneers in their respective genres, and also sow the seeds for another great musical leap forward.
New Wave and Hip Hop. Disco's bastard offspring. Five lads in Birmingham were digging David Bowie and Roxy Music. Their bass player had an affinity for Chic, in particular, Bernard Edwards, the bassist.
Some eyeliner, and a few puffy sleeves later, Duran Duran was born.
Three guys and a DJ got together in New York, and started rapping over a break from Good Times by Chic (them again!)
Rapper's Delight, by The Sugarhill Gang.
1985. Larry Levan was a DJ at The Garage, a nightclub in New York. Derek May was a DJ in Detroit. Frankie Knuckles had just arrived in Chicago. He would get a job as a DJ at a nightclub called the Warehouse.
And now, the fun begins…
House Music Gonna Set You Free….(Part 1)
Thursday, July 12, 1979. That should be an important date to you from now on.
Why, do ask, should that date be significant?
Well, allow me to elaborate…
Thursday, July 12, 1979 was Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park, in Chicago, Illinois. The promotion had been organized by Steve Dahl, an on-air personality (a contradiction in terms).
Dahl had been fired by radio station WDAI, which changed its programming format from rock to disco. Hired by market rival radio station WLUP, Dahl concocted Disco Demolition Night as a way to retaliate against his former employers.
Held during a doubleheader baseball game between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers, Disco Demolition Night would consist of fans bringing their unwanted disco records to the game in exchange for reduced admission. The offending records would then be brought to middle of a field, where they would be placed in a crate which was then to be blown up with explosives by Steve Dahl.
I won't go into details here, suffice to say the American appetite for destruction hasn't changed much over the years. Disco was just collateral damage along the way, cultural road kill for a country seeking its identity.
Okay, opinionated social commentary notwithstanding…
This event is significant, in the fact that, in the words of writer Malcolm Gladwell, this would be considered a "Tipping Point."
If there had been no Disco Demolition Night, there might never have been House Music.
Okay, maybe eventually House Music would have come to pass, but when?
This single event, which is lost to its participants in a beer-soaked, disco-hating, testosterone-laden, cathartic haze, was a blip on the cultural radar, but this was the Boston Tea Party of House.
Perhaps the funniest thing about that night, and by funny, I mean in an ironic, ha-ha, futility of your actions, kinda way, Steve Dahl accomplished NOTHING that night. In his mind, to this day, he thinks he is single-handedly responsible for the death of Disco.
In order to properly put this all in context, I'm going to veer off on a slight tangent here. I am not demonizing, nor am I demagoguing. I'm a big picture type of personality, and I want you to see the big picture with me.
America, like many countries before it, was founded on ideas. They were noble ones, as all ideas are when they start out. Naïve and idealistic, the people and ideas, hand in hand, side by side.
The problem with ideas, is they have a nasty habit of running smack dab into Reality. It's almost always messy, and it almost never ends well.
America believes itself to be a country of rugged, independent people. In particular, the men. They have guns, they drink beer, they occasionally use said guns to kill animals or people. The idea of the rugged American Male was, and still is a strong selling point. Davy Crockett, John Wayne, the Marlboro Man, Sylvester Stallone as Rocky/Rambo…take your pick.
The problem with that image is, most American men aren't that, and that image is almost always, Caucasian, single-minded, extremely masculine, conservative in ideology, and unambiguous in sexuality.
See where I'm going with this?
Anything that doesn't fit with that image of the American Male is violent rejected, suppressed ridiculed, or destroyed. It is a threat that the cultural white cells must purge from the body politic.
Which brings us to here.
The image of the American male is an illusion, one cultivated and created to provide a safe, acceptable image, an ideal to aspire to.
Disco, at the time was not only an affront to the American Male image, it was tantamount to blasphemy. It was, by its very existence, the total antithesis of that image.
A music form born out of homegrown music styles from Black American culture, Disco takes the danceability of Funk, the seductive elements of Rhythm and Blues, the hard backbeat of Rock and Roll, the free-form musical anarchy of Jazz.
Disco, like its root music sources, was celebratory in nature. Its sole intention was to make you forget your daily drudgery. For three minutes, you weren't your job, your gender, your race, your bank account, your upward mobility. You were part of a utopian experience, euphoric, hedonistic, social and sexual anarchy with a four on the floor beat.
No surprise that the Black and Gay communities shaped the culture. Songs about surviving and being yourself found common ground in social groups used to being oppressed and pushed to the margins of society.
It was empowerment in music form. Disco celebrated WHO you were, not WHAT you were. Not without irony that women were at the epicentre of Disco.
The First Law of Thermodynamics says that energy under normal conditions cannot be created or destroyed, simply transformed from one type of energy to another.
Steve Dahl saw that Thursday as the end of an era.
He had no idea what was about to begin…
But First, A Few Words….
Lee has been kind enough to give me this space to pretend like I know what I'm doing. Of course, I don't, but I never let that stop me before…
Before one solitary sentence is devoted to the topic at hand, I'd first like to say a few words on the the general topic of music itself.
We all have our preferences when it comes to music. Much like religion, what one person digs, another despises. That is another column altogether. Hell, blogs are devoted to it.
I have yet to encounter a human being that doesn't like music. Well, that's not entirely true. I met someone who said they didn't like music. I didn't talk to them for any length of time. What would be the point?
Aside from religion, I can't think of any other thing on this planet that evokes such passion in people. Not liking someone's music tastes is akin to slapping their mother. Friendships have been destroyed over it. Relationships have ended because of it. I stopped dating a girl because she thought Devo were "weird."
We all love what we love, and hate what we hate. One thing stands out above all preferences.
None of us can live without it.
You may start your night with Rihanna, party to Black Eyed Peas, and croon drunkenly at the end of the night to Journey, but I can't hate on you for that. It's not how I get down, but I respect your groove.
You may listen to the same Oasis song four times in a row on the jukebox, but that is who you are. More power to you.
Your ringtones are every song currently in the Top 40. I will not hate on you. That is your thing.
It took me a while to get to this point. I'm still having some difficulty adjusting to this new way of thinking. Having spent the better part of my life musically educating myself, I have tastes that I would describe as severely elitist.
To put it bluntly, I'm a music snob.
I think my music tastes are superior to EVERYONE. As a DJ, and an avid music collector. I pride myself on having a little bit of everything, but only the cream of the crop. From ABBA to Zappa, and everything in between.
Is there a point to my rambling?
The point is this; House. Reggae. Rock. Disco. Hip Hop. Techno. Dubstep. Just labels.
The labels are necessary for classification purposes. Unfortunately, some people try to attribute labels to music, like race, class, religion, sexual orientation.
It moves us. We laugh or cry when we hear it, it evokes memories that strong. We remember smells and sights. We reminisce about places and people we were with when we first heard a particular song.
It is encoded in our DNA. We are musical beings. It fuels revolutions, stops wars, creates families, reveals truths, enhances images, moves masses.
Music gives our lives depth and character. It is the distilled essence of the human story. We are lesser without it, and greater because of it.
In my tenure here, it is my hope and wish to discuss the origins, genres, pioneers, innovators and contributors to house music with passion, respect, and a bit of humour.
Stay with me. The journey gets interesting…

While the economy may have curtailed holiday merriment to an extent, many offices are still planning smaller get-togethers as celebrations. Unfortunately, without proper planning, these shindigs can turn into potential HR nightmares as "off the clock" employees exhibit behaviors that are less-than-work appropriate.
This week, we'll bring you a podcast from Kathleen Koster, EBN's newest staffer, on how to stage party planning to ensure maximum fun with minimal issues, but in the meantime, we'll be exploring what may be seen as the darker side of an office get-together.

text: I noticed my first floater in december of 2004, and know I'm seeing even more of them. I'm not sue if it is because I'm looking for them now or if they are acctually getting worse. I've been to the Dr. and have had many tests. I've had the retnal scan, side vision test, pressure tests and even an MRI to rule out a tumor. I just had my last appointment, and my Dr. said my eye's look healthy and my vision is fine. The problems I seem to be having know are as follows. When I look at plain/white backgrounds or at corners in my house I see what I would describe as heat waves or shackey vision is this common or has anyone else had this problem. I mentioned this to my Dr. and he said it is from the bleaching process in my iris's. I was just wondering if I'm the only one with this problem. Maybe I'm going crazy. Hope to here from someone.

Former Weber State standout Joe Collins has signed a free agent contract with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. Collins is one of three wide receivers signed by Hamilton this week in preparation for their season which opens next month.
Collins, a native of Seaside, California, finished his career at Weber State in 2010 and was named the Weber State Male Athlete of the Year for 2010-11. He was a unanimous selection to the Big Sky All-Conference First Team in 2010 and earned Third Team All-American honors. That season he played in all 11 games and led the Big Sky and was eighth in the nation in receiving yards per game at 95.1. He was also tenth in the conference in all-purpose yards. He finished the season with 61 receptions, the ninth most in WSU single-season history and had 1,046 receiving yards, the 12th most in WSU single-season history.
In his three seasons with Weber State Collins played in 27 career games and had 109 receptions for 1,501 yards and 10 touchdowns. He ranks 15th in school history in career receiving yards and is 19th in career receptions.

The restroom at Palo Alto Bicycles on University Avenue, Palo Alto, CA features a framed photo of Fausto Coppi cooling his feet in the
toilet bidet. ( Thank you to Lloyd and Brian for the correction.)
Your Comments
His feet are in a bidet, (you can see the faucets at the rear) a very different thing. people do that all the time.
People wash their feet in bidets?
I was in France years ago staying in a dump with a bidet in the room and a crappy communal bath down the hall, and I washed everything in the bidet. It's just an upside down shower.
Yep, that's not a toilet; it's a bidet.

Selection to showcase its 'social commerce' platform at MIDEM in late January is a big deal for Wellington Internet start up MusicHype.
MusicHype has spent the past year perfecting its business model, which reward fans for support and interest in a band through conversations they have across various social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
In turn, through exclusive deals with the bands themselves, fans are able to use MusicHype's online shop to purchase concert tickets, digital downloads, USB and vinyl recordings, and T-shirts and other merchandise related to the band.
A recent campaign example was allowing fans to select, and talk to each other through social media, about their favourite Crowded House live song from a recent American tour. The most popular songs were put onto a USB memory stick, only available through the MusicHype online store.
MH is one of only 30 music related digital companies invited to MIDEM. Mitchell is to pitch to MIDEM's live audience, as well as a panel of international judges. The six day event attracts over 7,000 delegates, across 60 pavilions, with 120 conferences, 3,200 companies and over 400 journalists.
Having tested and tweaked its model in the New Zealand market, now's the right time to scale globally says managing director, Jeff Mitchell.
"Our platform and widgets and tools allow us to pull band campaigns together quickly," he says.
MusicHype's connections with merchandise partners (such as producers of USB sticks and T-shirts) mean that a warehouse of products doesn't have to be provided. Billing and shipping can be carried out seamlessly.
Once a campaign starts running, to all extents it runs on autopilot. "We turn it on, and then let the fans run it," he says. "For the past two months, we've had six overlapping campaigns. The reason we can do it is because everything's pre-built, and run through 'The Appreciation Engine'." (See previous sticK explanation of the company's 'secret sauce' here)
Naturally, MusicHype's been talking to some senior music industry people, "all of whom can see the potential of our idea," says Mitchell.
The company's already generating significant revenue, with Mitchell being absolutely clear in his mind that the business model "has to be about revenue."
Feelgood experiences may be good, "but there's a middle space where a band's fans are happy and prepared to pay, and the band gets the exposure it needs and also gets paid."
To get to scale, MH needs to get to the U.S.A and European markets – the places with volume. This is where exposure at MIDEM could provide a valuable leg up to those markets.
MusicHype would like to develop relationships with some high tier bands and run campaigns in conjunction with them.
The company's open to its long-term options, which could be being acquired by a large new media body, setting up an IPO, sale to a large distribution company, or continuing to do it all themselves and growing organically.
Ironically, the old-school record label companies could also be interested.
"Things are happening very quickly in the social media space," Mitchell says. "Labels know they have to adapt, and they're interested in what we're doing".

"I've come across a lot of people who think somebody else should pay more tax," he added, placing theatrical emphasis on the words "somebody else".
A Herald-ACNielsen poll immediately after the May 13 budget found that 77 per cent of people would rather have the money devoted to the small tax cuts to be delivered by the Government from July 1 directed to increased spending on health and education.
A Hawker Britton-UMR survey released two weeks before that had found that 40 per cent of people would accept an increase in the GST from 10 per cent to 15 per cent if the money was spent on better services in those areas.
The most comprehensive analysis of this apparent trend was carried out recently by social researchers at the Australian National University using data from Australian Electoral Studies polls conducted over the past four decades.
The study, published in the Australian Journal of Social Issues, showed that the proportion of people who favoured increased spending over tax cuts had increased sharply from 35 per cent in 1987 to 58 per cent in 2001.
Mr Costello is sceptical of these findings, as are some of the pollsters themselves. They suspect people might deliver a socially responsible answer in the anonymous surveys, but when it comes to the crunch they would rather the money went into their pockets.
Mr Costello made clear in the Herald interview that he intends to forge on with the Government's new strategy to regularly put money back into the pockets of workers in the form of small tax cuts any time the federal budget allows.
For the first time, he has formalised the approach as part of a three-phase policy strategy.
He said the first was returning the budget to balance after inheriting a $10 billion deficit from Labor in 1996.
The second was to pay down the massive burden of government debt to the benign levels achieved in the past two budgets.
In the third and final phase, any money left in the budget after "responsible" spending and surplus targets have been met will be returned in the form of tax cuts.
The message is that people will just have to put up with paying less tax, whether they like it or not. And if they don't, they can always put the tax cut in an envelope and send it to the local school principal or hospital administrator.

Task force will consider 'stand your ground' changes after teen's death - CNN.com
Printable View
Sounds like governmental response to any situation...."Ready; Fire; Aim"
This is just what Al & Jessie want; make a safer working environment for Mudiabbla Owbiewan Washington, who after all is just about to turn his life around.
The task force panel includes the State Attorney for Miami-Dade county Katherine Fernandez-Rundell a big liberal and anti-gun. I can't begin to think what Gov. Scott was thinking appointing her. Then again he had to dress it up with liberals to make it look "bi-partisan" for the liberal press.
Never underestimate the power of committees full of stupid people.
CNN is just another liberal, "if it bleeds, it leads", type of news channel. Once the media gets hold of it, it becomes agenda-based news fabrication leading the sheeple to slaughter. The list is getting longer. We can no longer trust our POTUS, Congress or news media. Our local, regional and state public officials are a corrupt group of leeches. The police can't or won't protect us and we can't protect ourselves. PC is our new national anthem. There is no longer a place for God outside of the privacy of our homes. Diversity for diversity's sake is to be celebrated at all costs. A person can be required to pass a drug test to get a job but not to collect welfare, vote or attend public school. It's a world gone MAD!
Typical knee jerk...
Rick Scott has been a pretty good Governor so far, he needs to tell Al and Jesse to go pound salt!
We've become a society of Professional Victims....our sue happy society is nose diving into an abyss. Don't worry though, our Department of Justice will turn things right around...
Basically they're saying that, if you walk up to someone and ask them the time of day and they respond by pummeling your head into the cement, you must NOT shoot them and instead be beaten into a coma. However, if you are black and it's a white guy who attacks you then feel free to blow his head off.
What they are going to get is a knee jerk reaction that is going to set back the rights of people that have to use deadly force to protect themselves. Laws that are supposed to protect someone from financial ruins are going to do just the opposite when they get done. Instead of letting cops make a judgment call they are going to force people to get a lawyer to protect themselves after a shooting and that is not going to be cheap
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Florida's "Stand your ground" law, only in the attempt to apply it to himself by a certain individual under questionable circumstances. The law is sound; the questionable situation is not.
OMG ..... has the Govt ever resolved "any" problem ?? IF so, please post it .... because I sure don't know one.
What idiots.
