Re: Preparedness & Survivalism, we shall prevail
I say fruit by itself different kinds watery fruit being best (juicy) and eat the fruit leaving at least 20-30 minutes afterward for digestion if you are going to eat any heavy meal after the fruit.
After a heavy meal wait 2-3 hours before eating any fruit or dairy.
Fruit (juicy fruit) is already in an amino acid form and requires very little digestion compared to any other foods,almost like liquid nutrients,so do not toss it in with meat and other heavy foods and INSTEAD utilize fruit for on the move or heavy work activities to stay light on your feet and fresh in your mind.
Work, food, clothing, shelter, women,raising healthy White children, defending territory, and common sense. Anything else someone is telling you is probably lies.

Re: Preparedness & Survivalism, we shall prevail
What's on Your Plate? -- By KyrikAll this talk about salads makes me think about the Natural Foods craze in the 1970's and Euell Gibbons. Euell was famous for being able to pick his dinner from common wild plants. He wrote about them and he was much parodied back then by comedians. It never let up, he was even comedic fodder when he passed away, for dying of cancer.
When SHTF times come, it always comes with the horseman of the apocalypse representing starvation. He is depicted as a skeletal rider on horseback holding a set of scales. A very much feared visage.
Today I read the news about Germans experiencing some minor food shortage, they're down to five pounds of potatoes a week apiece. France has broken out today in riots. Over a million people rioting over there in France. I looked in the newslinks here for a mention of it but didn't see one. Maybe I will yet. I rarely post new threads because it pains me to post what I think is major SHTF news, only to see it immediately float to the back pages, replaced by some news item about what some crazy she-boon did. What we are seeing internationally, let the viewer have discernment, is the starting of total Western Breakdown. Food shortages will play a major part of this, my friends.
Many people in third world countries live on far less food than we do in the USA, Europe, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. In fact, there is an epidemic of obesity. In these lands, you can be sure that most people do not know what hunger is. To them, missing one or two meals is a major crisis. The often quoted line that hard core survivalists use in their scenarios is, we are only nine missed meals away from TEOEAWKI, or, The End Of Everything As We Know It.
LET THEM EAT GRASS -- What do people eat when they have nothing available? Actually, there is always something available. Some ghastly brutes are reduced to cannibalism. Others, where some law prevails, boil leather, or even eat grass. What about eating grass? Cows do it. Horses do it. In fact all herbivores do it. Why cannot Humans eat grass? If we could switch over to it in times of duress and distress, certainly it would solve a lot of human tragedy and death. How would we do it and what would be involved?
I am reminded of an experiment that was conducted by an American Professor where he attempted to live off of plain old grass. He realized that all herbivores and omnivores and carnivores do not digest their food by themselves. Bacteria in the lining of the guts of all of the higher orders of organisms digest their host's food. These are very highly specialized bacteria, some will not digest meat, or very little. Feed a T bone steak to a goat and you could kill him. In fact too much grain will kill off his bacteria and he will die for lack of the ability to digest his food. Cattle can not ordinarily digest corn, which they are fed in immense quantities in the feedlot when they are 'Finished Off'. They are fed immense amounts of antibiotics to keep them from rejecting the feed corn. They are actually 'Allergic' to their feed. Why? Because their gut bacteria cannot normally digest it without dying off in toxic amounts. Hogs can eat corn products with impunity. Sheep and goats can eat some, as long as they also eat forage product, IE. Grass or hay.
The bacteria in the lining of the gut of a dog allows him to eat clabbered milk, moldy bread, dead road kill and a variety of things that would have you retching and dry heaving. God only knows how vicious the bacteria in a buzzard's gut is.
The Professor's thesis was that if he could 'kill off' his 'omnivorous' bacteria in his own gut, but at the same time introduce the bacteria of the herbivores, so that he may actually be able to some day digest grass. Plain old weeds and lawn clippings.
This he reportedly did, in a controlled environment with medical laboratory monitoring. He fasted for weeks, actually close to the point of death. He had to be careful of not shutting down his bowels. Prisoners in the camps in Germany, late in the war when even ordinary Germans had no food, swallowed sand so as not to have their bowels shut down. It does work, but the grit will destroy a lot of the cilia in the intestinal walls. This cilia cannot be replaced, so this is a last ditch kind of thing.
At the same time he gradually introduced another form of bacteria into his system, one that will digest grass. The report was that he got very weak, one could almost say 'near death'. This is why it probably could not be pulled off by the average person. Of course, while this was going on he was so weak that all he could do was lie down, he was too weak to do anything else. It was also maddenly frustrating suffering the hunger pangs, both physically and mentally. After the transformation he was able to eat and thrive off of yard clippings. The draw back is that he cannot eat a pork chop or a bucket of KFC chicken. He has to save his food in the summer, for when grass does not grow in the winter. I'm not sure what kinds of vegetables he can eat, if any, but apparently he gets no nutrition out of something if it's cooked, it has to be raw. Reportedly, the Professor still eats his yard clippings, now years later.
I'm sure, since he does not have several stomachs, like cows and sheep and goats do, that The Professor has to grind the grass up into powder sized particles. Basically he sticks his lawn clippings into a juicer or a grinder. Much of what the animals' multi-stomachs do is render the coarse, fibrous, husky, stem-like grasses and weeds into a more absorptive form for their bodies. Basically the multi-stomachs are rendering the grass-mulch mix into a pasty concoction their Bacteria can then hastily manipulate.
It has proven by this, however, that a character in the Bible, Nebuchadnezzar, could have actually 'Ate grass like the bulls' for seven years.
The foregoing begs the question, how long can any of us do without food? Water, we know, can only be skipped at a max of three days, but what about food?
HUNGER PANGS -- Why do people go crazy after missing a few meals? Why would the most shy and retiring next door neighbor all of a sudden, when SHTF, want to kill you for your food preps? These people have never been without food before and the 'Hunger Pangs' are immense for first timers. A week or so in the Andes and all of a sudden stranded people were cannibalizing dead people. What gives? Certainly they were not dying because studies report that people can, if they are otherwise healthy, survive for up to a month without food. Some put the time limit much higher. One can only surmise that it is the 'Pangs' of hunger causing the extreme behavior associated with starvation, more the mental stress of this felt pain than anything.
This 'Hunger Pang' is a functional extreme mental desire that tells it's host, "Hey, get up and eat, fool!", at an instinctual level. It is responsible for our survival as a species. This extreme desire and strong hunger pangs are also followed by physical weakness and mental duress, a fight or flight kind of hormonal release that causes people to experience fear, of their own demise. Kind of the fear that you get when you're standing on a railroad track and the train is coming straight for you.
Peoples in third world countries experience frequent hunger usually where the average person misses quite a few meals in his or her lifetime. When food rations get low or disappear, they seem to be numbed to the mental stresses associated with hunger and starvation. They are already used to it. This doesn't mean that eventually they will not resort to extreme behavior. It does seem though, that people in developed world countries, who have not experienced starvation, or self induced fasting, go to the most extremes. If the average citizen in Thailand were to miss a total of nine meals in two weeks, he would be depressed, of course, but he likely would not riot. He has already experienced some hunger and so is numbed to the shock of the mental stress. The average westerner who misses nine meals will riot and turn into a raging Zombie.
The negro population in a developed world country, has never experienced starvation but is always closer to childlike actions and thinking. This negro population would, of course, resort to much more extreme behavior than the White population. The White population, though there would be many exceptions, would maintain a much cooler response and repose. Over all, in a starvation scenario, the majority of people, whatever color, will resort to behavior more extreme than they did before. This is a given expectation that you can count on, with it's attendant social implications.
EXTREME FASTING FOR SHTF -- My own personal experience at Fasting: My own best at fasting is 17 days. I have also done a 14 day fast and a 11 day one. The first three days are living hell. Food is all you can think about. I believe that I am stronger when and if SHTF and there is a major starvation period. I myself, and many others, have proven that you can fast and live, it won't kill you. As I have stated before, you may also go without a meal or two, maybe on the weekend when you are relaxing and at home. You might want to consult your doctor if you try it, that goes without saying. Skip a few meals, to build your SHTF stamina. Better to do it now when it's an option, than during SHTF when you have nothing to say about it. Why would you want to try out starving you may ask? To build up your mental stamina, so that when it is beyond your control, you won't go crazy with hunger and do something stupid. This stamina can be built up. It probably is not a good thing to do if you have diabetes, or have heart problems, but if otherwise healthy, go for it. If you can fast for 48 hours or if you are in really good health, 72, you will have the 'Hunger Pangs' beat when SHTF. Word to the wise: When Fasting do not engage in sports or any activity more strenuous that sitting or laying down. No energy coming in means none going out. Taxing your body mercilessly when it is under duress will bring a possible negative health outcome. When I did it, I was mostly laying around. Don't try to go to the extreme I did either. Between 5 to 10 days into it you will have a few hallucinations. After about 10 days it gets easier.
Certainly there has been no starvation in the USA during my lifetime. The Europeans that have faced it are all gone now. What we are dealing with facing us is not the next mundane moment, like all others quickly forgotten, but the Mother of all SHTF's, The PERFECT STORM. How can I say this? All indicators are there, no one is doing anything about it, and many elements of society, and those currently in power, actually want it to happen, or are willing to take advantage of the circumstances. Caesar wants Rome to burn so he can rebuild it.
It's a testament to how soft modern society has become in that people are not really consumed by the task of getting food. People spend more money on their entertainment today than food. Modern people have not been freed by not having the mundane pursuit of food acquisition, that pursuit built values, self reliance and character, and if nothing else kept people within their extended families and on moral high grounds. Women judged men on how well they provided, not on their hair styles. I'll leave it to Kim Du Toit and Devvy Kidd to write poignant essays about how far modern males have succumbed to Metro-sexuality.
The Sheeple will be totally blindsided by it when food shortages comes. Food will be the hook in peoples noses, pulled along by ZOG.
STOCK UP NOW -- It goes without hardly saying: What Thor and others have been urging us to do in this thread is to stock up now. If, a year from now, there had been no food shortage, then I will be happier than anybody else and that much more ahead on savings on my food bill. Will you gamble with your family's lives? Start storing food, as late as it is, it is still not too late.
The living from one week to the next with food is a modern phenomenon. One hundred years ago most people in the US were farmers or rural dwellers. They lived, not week to week, but from one harvest to the next. They had to store a whole years supply of food from one harvest until the fruits of the next were available. So saving food stores is not a bizarre practice, we're just going back to our roots. In many cases, we're eliminating the middleman. Get your food program started now, you won't regret it.

Starch is just bad.
Starch in the modern form is overly refined. The best diet is to eat as close to stone-age man as possible. Lean meats, fruits, vegetables and minimal wholegrains etc. If you eat starch at all it's in the form of root vegetables.

Re: Preparedness & Survivalism, we shall prevail
You can get a 40 footer for $2000, then tack on another $1000 for shipping/misc. expenses.
If you don't already own rural property, you can find 10 or more acres for around $15,000+ in the Appalachians or the Rockies.
Go here and do an advanced search for land properties, just to get a feel for it:
Look for something that already has a well on the site. You can add a septic system later yourself, but wells are expensive to put in.
I would bury two 40 ft. containers side by side, bolt 'em together, then cut a 6 ft. opening between them and frame it out, and that gives you plenty of room, almost like a house.
Then finish out the interior, hookup electric, water and septic, and you're done.

Re: Preparedness & Survivalism, we shall prevail
Bugging Out -- By KyrikBugging-Out -- Many people concerned with SHTF have had to make a choice about what to do when SHTF: Bug Out or Bug In. Bugging Out means leaving your home for someplace safer, possibly for a long time. Due to any number of emergencies, you may be forced to leave the area quickly to ensure your safety. If your home area is under constant assault of mad max gangs, then you probably should uproot your family and get them to safety. There is no way a family of four that can defend against a constant assault of gangs. It has never happened in modern times and won't either. It is statistically improbable that anyone can continuously fight and never lose. Remember, you only have to lose once to lose everything, you cannot afford to lose with your family in tow. Don't let a male ego condemn your family. You may have to make a strategic withdrawal.
Some or all of your plan may involve "bugging back home" if you already live at a good bug-out location, or work far from home and need to get back before you bug-out. I plan on Bugging in, as I have spent many years preparing for what's to come. But others may have to travel out of a city or large metropolitan area to get to safer, more whiter, ground. Let's examine what issues are involved in 'Bugging Out'.
It is important to have a bug-out destination picked out ahead of time whether it be with friends or family, or to property you own out in the country. Running into the hills to live off the land is terribly difficult and should be avoided if at all possible. Where ever you go----someone is already there. Rural folks wont take well to an invasion of former city dwellers. This requires a very detailed plan and investigation. Most survivalists favor survival-homesteading (country- style, self-sufficient living) as the ultimate long-term solution. Many Bug Outers have no other plan than to hit the road, with no destination in mind. There are a lot of points that people have to decide on beforehand, in order to be successful at Bugging Out.
A National Park or National Forest may be better than nothing, but do you realize how many drifters will be there, all of then extremely desperate and most armed?
There are many city dwellers that will strive to bug out. This is usually referred to in SHTF circles as the 'Interstate Scenario'. They may have no choice if they are to survive. If you bug out you may wish to consider that you have no control over the weather (Blizzards, Rainstorms, Ice) and have opted to be out in it 24 hrs per day if you bug out. We're talking about both while traveling and camping out at your Bug Out Destination.
Unless you own property and a dwelling to bug out to you will have to endure some mighty bad weather if you choose to live in Mr. Tarp-Tent.
In a major SHTF many people will be going to live with family, friends, etc.. Make sure you get permission ahead of time, even with family. Be the type of family member that they will be glad to have and regard as an asset. If you have never actually asked cousin Bob if you can stay with him during SHTF, you may be in for a rude awakening, and maybe a gun in your face. Our family plan is complete when our daughters get back to the house, certain other relatives who haven't even bothered to even call us for years can fly a kite. Fail to plan, plan to fail.
If you Bug Out in the winter, it is a most perilous time, especially in the snow-belt areas. Prior Preparation could mean the difference between life and death during that time. The Lazy will die fast in the winter.
When you leave your home you'll be out among the general population. They may be very desperate out on the road. Strive not to travel at night if you are bugging out after the SHTF is well along. It's one thing to travel at night when the SHTF has just hit, but afterwards you will often find desperate sleepy travelers. Law enforcement is at it's lightest at night. Don't count on them to save you. There will be thousands of modern day Okies, going to California to pick grapes or whatever. They will drive all-nighters and be very susceptible to falling asleep behind the wheel, maybe taking you with them. Remember, any car accidents become large emergencies with no immediate care available during SHTF times. Plus, your mode of transport which you need desperately to get you to your destination will be disabled or wrecked, that's if you survive. And don't take chances and drive sleepy yourself. Many a traveling family has been killed because one of the adults, usually Mr. Big Male Ego himself, fell asleep and took his family with him. Dying will definitely solve your family's SHTF problems, permanently.
Bug-Out-Bag (BOB): A BOB is a pack that will help you through just about any crisis. It contains gear to help you stay alive. The common theme for the BOB is for traveling/stranded in a crisis, but each person has their own spin on it. Some members here have only a vest or very small pack to help them get home from work or deal with emergencies. Others have large packs tailored to leaving town and traveling long distances. Most carry at least some form of a BOB in their vehicle.
Some categories your BOB should cover:
2.Navigational aids, maps
5.Fire starters
6.Shelter, tents
7.Medical First Aid Kit
8.Communication unit: Radio
9.Tools: knife, flashlight, multi-tool, Para cord
10. Raincoat with hood. The best ones are neither bright yellow or camo-military looking. It will never be flatter and as pack able as when it's new and in it's plastic bag. Keep an unused one in your BOB.
Here is an example of a BOB contents:
This BOB weighs about 30 pounds and includes: Food/MRE's/freeze dried, water, tent, water filter, extra clothing (socks especially), a jacket, sleeping bag, gloves, a multi-tool, a knife, ammo for my pistol, am/fm/noaa radio, a compass, maps, Bic lighter, small hygiene kit, zip ties, flashlight, batteries, duct tape, metal pots, a spoon, a deck of cards, bug spray, first aid kit, rope, aspirin, a few odds and ends, a small Handgun and a cell phone.
A word about Off Road Vehicles: Many Bug Outers think that a four wheel drive vehicle will help their chances during SHTF. An example would be crossing a farmer's field to get to another nearby road. It's usually not to good of an idea. If you decided to go offroading, due to traffic jams or roadblocks you would either likely get stuck due to the terrain or suffer a broken suspension or have a critical electronic item on the SUV get broken due to the vibrations of offroading. You may get wrecked or have your load shift on you.
DON'T BE OVERCONFIDANT WITH SUV'S -- In some places in the winter time, in bad weather (Ice, Snow), I have seen that SUVs were the most numerous type of vehicle that were in the ditches. The reason was that the drivers were overconfident about their vehicle's abilities. Four wheel drive really doesn't make up for the fact that in some weather no one should be on the road. There likely will be no towing services available to the average person in SHTF. It is no time to be MR. Macho FWD and lose the family vehicle and all your stuff in the middle of no where during SHTF. If that is the case, Bug In until better weather, if at all possible. If you have a winch and cable on the front end, you have the ultimate bug out vehicle.
If you do plan on going Offroading during SHTF, you should have super heavy duty suspension packages on your SUV. Still, it is better not to even plan on it. Most of the land that you can see from the highway is usually impassable without a military grade off-road 4x4 and lots of spare parts and a skilled driver. A set of heavy duty bolt cutters would really help in an offroad situation, indeed any traveling during SHTF. You can then cut off locks that block your access, or your ability to take shelter somewhere for the night. Don't use them to steal or appropriate, and hide them good in your vehicle, put them in among other tools. That way, if you are inspected by LE at a road check, you won't be accused of having 'Burglar's Tools'.

Re: Preparedness & Survivalism, we shall prevail
Thank You very much for the links.
I also considered two 40, 48, or 53 footers side by side with a opening the size if a sliding glass patio door between them.
Now is all areas one can buy used home building items like kitchen and bathroom sinks, toilets ect. Dirt cheap! Frankly I would prefer a used 5 gallon flush toilet over the New can't flush for sh*t ones. Hot water heaters can be purchased used or new from Home depot for $200. The Habitat for Humanity "restores" now sell used building materials and NEW donated materials from contractors.

Abdul Adil
The Government's Help to Buy mortgage scheme has now been extended to include Shari'a compliant alternative to mortgages, Home Purchase Plans (HPPs), the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Sajid Javid, announced on February 11.
Under the scheme the Government agrees to take on some of the risk of the loan on mortgages of up to 95 per cent of the home's value. Under the home purchase plans, also known as Islamic mortgages, the buyer initially buys a portion of the home with the bank owning the rest. Over time they pay rent and a fee to acquire the remainder.
The scheme has already helped thousands get on or move up the housing ladder, and the Government remains committed to making the aspiration of home ownership a reality for as many households as possible.
The rules have been amended to enable banks that sell HPPs to purchase a government guarantee for them.
This will be particularly supportive to some Muslim homebuyers who have been unwilling to use a traditional Help to Buy mortgage because of their religious beliefs. However, the inclusion of HPPs in the Help to Buy scheme introduces more choice for all consumers and perspective homebuyers.
"I am delighted Home Purchase Plans will now be available under the Help to Buy scheme. This gives even more choice to hardworking families across the UK trying to fulfil their home owning aspirations," said Javid

Booming noise in water heater
A friend of mine has said that they frequently hear "booming" noises coming from their water heater. They have adjusted the temperature up and down, and drained and refilled the heater, and it still occurs. It is just an occasional thing. The noise sounds like a big, low, boom, almost like a very large air bubble popping deep under water. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this and if there is a fix (short of replacing the heater)?
is this an electric heater or gas heater?

Re: Karl Keating's E-Letter of June 8, 2004
Has anyone heard of the Geneva School
. It's a Christian school which is designed to return to the classical education and teaching methods which were used before our schools embraced existentialism. I personally do not know much about education theory, but have always been impressed and somewhat envious of the type of education kids seem to have recieved in the boarding schools in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
I am interested in other's opinions of this school in particular and in thier teaching ideology.
God Bless,

ALTERNATIVE RADIO LOVING NOT ��HATING�� BLUE OCTOBER
Rockers Have # 1 Most Added Song At Format
New York, NY �� Republic/Universal Records recording artists, Blue October, have the # 1 Most Added Song at Alternative Radio with the single, ��Hate Me�� this week. The track is the first song off their third full-length studio album being released on March 14th entitled, Foiled. Hailing from the great state of Texas, Blue October has been meticulously expanding their fan base from their home state to the rest of the country. Nothing proves this more than the eclectic mix of stations that added ��Hate Me�� this week. From WLUM in Milwaukee, WI to WSUN- TAMPA where it is # 1 requested to WSUN in Tampa, FL where the station said, ��This song is so huge. TOP 5 PHONES! It's been in our Top 5 @ 9 for weeks!�� Other stations that added ��Hate Me�� such as WKRL in Syracuse, KTCL in Denver and KWOD in Sacramento prove without a doubt that this band is not a regional story now but a national success.
Their new Repbulic/Universal Records album, Foiled, is their first studio effort since 2003��s History for Sale, which was initially released independently by the band. When their song ��Calling You,�� which was also included on the American Wedding Soundtrack, began picking up airplay in Dallas and other markets, Blue October signed to Universal. A double-live CD/DVD, Argue With A Tree, which captured the amazingly symbiotic live relationship between the band and its fans, came out last February, 2005.
Despite the fact Blue October hadn��t released a new album in two years, a fall ��05 tour was booked, resulting in sold-out shows in Houston, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Tulsa, Little Rock, Omaha, Chicago, Lawrence/Kansas City and Des Moines, proving the band��s audience was still strong, which can be seen in the CD/DVD release Argue With A Tree.
The band will be celebrating their new release in their home state with shows Dallas, Houston as well as Austin, TX at the South By Southwest Festival. Look for the band to storm the rock clubs of America bringing their new songs and signature sound to fans everywhere.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. (AP) - The Vermont attorney general says two police officers were justified in shooting a Middlebury man during an exchange of gunfire behind his rural home last fall.
Police said 57-year-old George Demarais said he wanted to commit "suicide by cop" and fired at them when they found him on a steep slope behind his home on Oct. 4, 2012. Authorities say when a Middlebury police officer ordered him to show his hands, Demarais fired at the officer, instead. Two officers shot back, killing Demarais.
The cause of death was two gunshot wounds to the neck and chest.
The offices of the attorney general and Addison County state's attorney said Friday they have concluded that the two officers were justified in their use of deadly force.

It's with the sun beating down on a roasting Cataluña that my Alta Velocidad Española service from Madrid glides into Barcelona Sants station and I mentally prepare myself for this, my third pilgrimage (and Dots & Dashes' fourth) into the chaotic majesty of Sónar. I've been gearing myself up gradually for weeks, if not months now, and I can't help but sense that this will be the year I really conquer its lengthy days and longer nights.
Walking from the station up toward Fira Montjuïc – the newfound home for this year's Sónar de Día festivities – there is little sign of the impending debauchery doubtless to soon unfurl: with fewer branded backpacks on display and scarcely a rumble of the festival's now trademark bass thump, the windows surfacing the plethora of apartments adorning the surrounding streets of Sónar's newly acquired castle barely even so much as ripple. I pass a prison, sanctimoniously crossing my chest in the hope that nothing will wind us up within its stonking concrete walls. But then slowly, emerging from the streets, a softened thrum as I stumble upon the unmistakable throb to come from a kick drum. It builds and builds, until stentorian once inside.
And so what of Sónar's new abode? Well, it's bigger this time, for one. Gone are the floral decorations and sapphire blue tiles of its former home, replaced instead with a series of enormous hangars nestled adeptly behind the kind of façade a multinational advertising agency would be proud of. This is Sónar de Día pumped up on steroids: its outdoor section an AstroTurfed football pitch filled with revellers from all over the world, they flick their arms skywards with increasing vigour at every last drop. And to kick things off, I'm here to see a man I've meant to since I first heard Super_Collider some fifteen years ago. That man is Jamie Lidell.
He too is newly appeared as I find my spot, opening potently as he sets about constructing a techno beat bound to thrill this archetypal Sónar audience. As it comes to climax, he remarks: "I first played here in 1999, so I dedicate this song to Prince" before launching into Multiply number, A Little Bit More. Here reconfigured as a thumping dance track, Lidell attempts his best Prince impression only to then revisit recent single You Naked – a song that seems a little disconcerting when emitted from his mouth. He certainly doesn't seem the sort to eulogise the female form as such and although the performance is composed, it loses momentum with time.
Which, ultimately, leaves me with the feeling of having seen something toward the decent end of the mediocre spectrum. That is not to say that Lidell is by any means a poor performer, and he certainly succeeds in providing the perfect atmosphere to ignite the revelatory experience that this year's Sónar truly proves to be. However the distinct lack of energy to his show is reflected in a somewhat lethargic spectatorial reaction, all of which results in a significantly more tame ending to Friday's Sónar de Día when set beside that of previous editions. My anticipation, however, rises above and remains propulsive as I power on into the night.
Sónar de Noche, by contrast, still finds itself situated out amidst the strangely commercialised hinterland that is Hospitalet. Entering the main hall, the vast SónarClub, Kraftwerk are on the verge of welcoming us into their pseudo-futuristic matrix of Krauty reverence. This is a show I've wanted to witness since those now notorious Tate dates were first announced and, armed with a delightful, Sónar-branded pair of 3D specs, I take my pew and prepare for a sermon on electronic minimalism from the high priests of the genre. What follows is, visually speaking, something of a spectacular but in terms of the aural element, they fall a little flat on a typically ebullient Sónar throng. With every novel, über-minimal Ramsian ocular escapade comes increasing sensorial wonderment and yet the crowd bobs on almost oblivious – intently, if a tad impatiently awaiting the proceeding drop. Alas, it's one which all too frequently Ralf Hütter und Co. fail to deliver.
Personal favourite Autobahn impresses immensely as sparse, if retrograde images of motorways speed across every visible screen although I can't help but feel that Kraftwerk's set never quite computes with such a cavernous expanse and as pounding beats spill over from neighbouring stages, inundating the Germans' attention-commanding spectacle, it becomes all too apparent that this was a set belonging to la madrugada and not 10:45pm.
Though no matter, as next up is the festival's resident darling, Nicolas Jaar. Now freshly graduated and evidently loving life, he nonchalantly strolls onstage at SónarLab before two vast screens – his smile broad as most Catalonian horizons. Greeting the crowd in his native español, he proffers the best performance I've yet seen of him. Having scrutinised his shows in this very same setting these past few years, it's been intriguing to see him develop as a performer and if last year's showing was marked by an exemplary composure a little lacking in bite, then that of this edition certainly rectifies that. He now has a significant amount of material at his disposal, and decorates the set with past hits and the previously unexperienced alike. Overheard atop the incessant, euphoric chanting of "Nico! Nico! Nico!" highlights include El Bandido, Mi Mujer and With Just One Glance You – all of which see him on top of his game. But truth be told, the set is first and foremost a resplendent blend of well-timed twists and turns throughout Jaar's aural odyssey thus far. As a consequence, it's over all too soon, as acolytes and newly acquired revellers are forced to seek out an act to match such superlative…
Passing back by SónarClub, the festival unites in the Harlem Shake under the questionable guidance of Baauer himself. Decidedly dreadful, as is the remainder of the abrasive Yank's set, there's plenty of bang for absolutely no buck whatsoever and whilst YouTube may well have boosted his career quite stratospherically, what kind of career it'll ultimately transpire to be remains to really be seen.
Up next are French turntablists C2C, who lighten the mood considerably with their emblematic bombast à la française. Tuning in to every '90s hip hop act under the sun and eventually turning to the Beastie Boys' Intergalactic, their idiosyncratic rendition never disgusts as one can't help but fear it might and in truth, C2C prove to be one of the highlights of a somewhat bottom-heavy Friday night. With the benefit of hindsight, however, it's perhaps not overly surprising given that which was to follow.
Skrillex: a name in need of no introduction which will, without question, conjure expletives of either joy or contempt depending on the ears to which the word is uttered. Certainly in my case, the artist formerly known as Sonny John Moore is one I most readily associate with complete and utter mediocrity though his show is I suppose, in its own individualistic way, quite incomparable in that it most closely resembles a video game. As the 'artist' spins out lecherous, distorted effects and clumsy drops, footage of first-person shooters, skulls and God knows what else is splayed across the screens before the stage shoots up to reveal its central protagonist sat on some Japanese anime-reimagined Iron Throne. To call it a mess is to compliment, as Skrillex continues to perplex and perpetuate the distaste in equal measure.
Sónar itself, however, remains utterly spectacular as ever, with every element of the festival that makes this experience so inexplicably wonderful still fully intact. That I'm already a half way through the skewed weekend only saddens me further come the early hours of Saturday, but little did I know that this was just a delectable appetiser for what was to come…

It is my pleasure to announce the launch of Thousand Islands Winery's new website. The new website will provide customers with a more user friendly online shopping experience while streamlining the ordering process. It will allow mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets to navigate easily throughout the website. This huge upgrade shall provide Thousand Islands Winery's online customers with a satisfying shopping experience and will result in faster processing of orders.
Every year, Thousand Islands Winery improves its facilities located at its winery in Alexandria Bay. In 2015, Thousand Islands Winery will host over 20 weddings plus wedding showers, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and other private events. Additionally, the Winery has added another fully furnished cottage for daily or weekly rentals for a total of 3 on-site cottages. These cottages are popular as part of the wedding packages as we happily provide special discounts to all wedding guests.
In 2014, the winery purchased a state of the art mechanical grape harvester. In 2015, Thousand Islands Winery will offer custom grape harvesting which includes the use of the harvester and the man power for operation of the equipment.
It enables the operator to mechanically harvest approximately 2 to 3 acres of grapes per hour. This mechanical grape harvester is gentle on the fruit and the vines, while providing unmatched quickness in harvesting clean fruit.
Moscato wine is a very popular variety in the United States and is gaining more and more fans each year. In an effort to satisfy our customers' desires, Thousand Islands Winery has elected to produce Muscato in 2015! This is going to be an exciting new release for us. The Winery has produced approximately 500 gallons, so it will initially only be available at the winery's Tasting Room. As production increases over the next few years, it will be available at Farmer's Markets and at Wine Stores.
It appears that Mother Nature was kinder in 2014 than in 2013. This past winter was colder, but with ample snow cover, the vines had a much better survival rate. We expect only minimal winter damage from this past winter and expect a beautiful crop in the fall!
Steve Conaway, President
Thousand Islands Winery


text: Show Hide image Culture 6 August 2009 Single-Handed Tourist-board myths about rural Ireland are exploded by this murky crime drama Sign up for our weekly email * P J O'Rourke once said in an interview that it is hardly surprising the Irish read so much: after all, their television is just so bloody awful. And it's true that whenever I've been in a hotel room there, remote control in hand, the dross has come at me thick and fast. So when I realised that ITV had got its new Sunday-night cop show, Single-Handed (9pm), from RTE, I gritted my teeth. The combination of hard-up ITV, which now goes shopping with a knitted purse rather than a fat leather wallet (unless it's at Boutique Simon Cowell, of course, in which case its executives arrive with Coutts chequebooks backed up with platinum credit cards), and RTE, home of aforementioned dross, was not enticing. This was going to be Taggart with peat bogs, priests and Guinness. Or perhaps it would be worse than that. The old Taggart was great. I dredged my memory for creaky and very local police dramas. Perhaps we were talking Juliet Bravo with peat bogs, priests and But, guess what? Single-Handed is good. Not brilliant; it's not like watching the first Prime Suspect or anything. But for my money, it's a lot more gripping and atmospheric than Wallander, over which everyone drools so excitedly. It has a quality that is increasingly rare in television - a certain reluctance to show its hand earlier than is absolutely necessary. I suspect that this is born of its rural setting on Ireland's west coast, but still, you have to hand it to its creators. They could very easily have succumbed to the pressure to scatter its damp hills with bodies and its cosy pubs with eccentric locals. Instead, they've gone for something more subtle: they want us to be weirded out by the introversion and slyness of their small cast. It is as though they have taken their lead from Straw Dogs or The Wicker Man. These people are not yokels, but there is something calcified about them. They've been left alone to do as they like for far too long. Beneath the new Ireland, land of information technology and greedy builders, is the old Ireland, land of secrets and lies and superstition. The set-up is excellent. Garda Sergeant Jack Driscoll (Owen McDonnell) has returned from Dublin to the place where he grew up, and where his father, Gerry (Ian McElhinney), has only recently retired from the same post, which is basically that of sheriff. There is a backstory here; it is hinted that things had gone very wrong for Jack in the city, and that his father rescued his career, so now the older man has power over the younger, for all that it is his son who is wearing the uniform. Or does he? Jack shows alarming signs of independence and integrity, a determination not to let sleeping dogs lie. In the first episode (2 August), an immigrant worker had died - a product of the new Ireland - but the men, Jack's father's friends, who knew why she had died, were of the old Ireland, a place where unwanted babies used to be buried beneath granite stones on lonely hillsides as if they were just the runts of a litter of puppies. These men's eyes darted like minnows, and they used charm - the treacly Irish charm so beloved of Americans - like a shield. For a Sunday-night cop show, Single-Handed is surprisingly unflinching. I don't mean that it's gory, because it isn't. But the series is keen to remind us that rural life - the stuff you see in tourist-board ads for the old country - is not all it's cracked up to be. A sickening twist in events for Jack jabbed a finger at the treacherous heart of Catholic family life. Elsewhere, an old lady, who lived alone with her grown-up son and trilled of his loyalty, had bruises on her wrists. No wonder that Jack's most common expression is queasy. McDonnell, who is lovely in the part, plays him as though he might throw up in the glove box of his Range Rover at any moment. I wonder, though: is it disgust at the activities of his friends and neighbours that is causing his stomach to churn, or is it disgust at himself? I am looking forward to finding out. All in good time. Rachel Cooke trained as a reporter on The Sunday Times. She is now a writer at The Observer. In the 2006 British Press Awards, she was named Interviewer of the Year.

Spring is coming up... time to think about dropping car back to the ground(well, for those of us in the snowy northern part of the continent at least).
Thought it would be interesting to get a thread with a picture of people's cars and their stance. When it gets enough posts I will add it to the FAQ.
Please include the following:
1) Picture of your car
2) Brand of Coilover/suspension
3) Front measurement (top of arch to ground)
4) Rear measurement (top of arch to ground)
5) wheel and offset
6) tire and size
7) spacer brand/thickness
8) other info (fender rolling, replacement tie rod ends, etc)
If you have more than one setup to contribute list them as seperate entries in one post, and when you make changes rather than removing the old info append another picture and set of info so that we have we have your car with multiple stances.

I was in Macy's recently returning a sweater I'd received for Christmas and was having a hard time finding something to exchange it for. So, of course, I ended up in the cosmetics department to take a look at what was new at the counters (surprise, surprise). That's when I remembered Chanel's new nail collection for Spring 2011 and made a beeline for the Chanel counter to find a shade I'd heard a lot about: Black Pearl.
Any beauty lover knows how in demand Chanel's nail colors always are. Every season it seems that the brand releases a must-have shade that becomes the hottest in beauty, and everyone snaps it up. Although there have been a few Chanel nail polishes that I really wanted, I always resisted because of the $25 price tag. I mean, I've been known to spend a pretty penny on beauty products in my day, but I just can't justify the purchase of a $25 nail polish. But since it was technically a gift, I decided to swap the sweater out for Chanel Black Pearl.
Chanel Black Pearl
The name Black Pearl would imply that the shade is, in fact, a blackened pearl. Now, the shade certainly possesses these characteristics, but what makes it so unique (and so popular) is the hint of green blended into the shade. Take a look!
- With Flash
Black Pearl is unique because of its simultaneous depth of color and pearlescent finish. Typically deep or dark colors are flat. The pearl in this shade "lifts" the color a little bit and makes it more warm and wearable. You can see the hint of green better in the photo below.
Natural Light
I couldn't quite get a picture that does the shade justice, but I assure you the shade in gorgeous. I didn't want to love Black Pearl, but I do! I have to give Chanel credit. They charge an arm and a leg for their polishes, but they always come out with unique, unexpected shades that other brands never seem to come up with (until they try to create a dupe, of course!). If you'd like a bottle of this, you'd better hurry. I got that last bottle at my Macy's, and stores all over are selling out fast!
What do you think of Black Pearl? Will you try it, or will wait for another brand to attempt to dupe it? What's the most you've spent on a nail polish? Dish!

Pirates Release Three Minor Leaguers
The Pittsburgh Pirates have released three minor league players, according to Baseball America's latest transactions update. The three players were right-hander Eliecer Cardenas, infielder Greg Picart, and outfielder Anthony Norman.

Picart and Norman were organizational guys for the Double-A level, although there wasn't much room for them....
