The Eucharist is called "the Most Blessed Sacrament" because "it is the Sacrament of sacraments" (CCC #1330). It's the greatest sacrament because the Greatest Love is really and truly present. That's the Lord Jesus.
There is no greater love than the Love that Jesus loved us with. No matter what else is said here, our being saved by Jesus is all about us being loved so much by Him.
Remember, Jesus is God, God is love, and Jesus is really and truly present — Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity — in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Case closed!
Are our hearts open to this gift? That's another story! It's really "the story"! Opening our hearts to so great a love!
We're not talkin about a symbol here, but the real- deal presence of Jesus. I put it this way in my song "Take My Heart," from my CD of the same name:
Sometimes ya wonder about the mystery of the Bread.
The real deal Presence, no trip for the head.
Ya wanna live forever, ya gotta be fed.
His Body and Blood, (SORRY!) it's what the Master said.
Feel His Love, feel the Power, as ya worship and adore.
Ya wanna live a new life and sin no more?
Let Him play His part, don't let Him wait to start.
Ya gotta pray — take my heart.
Sometimes we would rather just hold on. What a pity. I know it seems easier to hold on than to let go. Anyway, lets get back to work.
Key Teachings About the Eucharist
Let me hit ya with a bunch of key teachings of the Church about the Holy Eucharist:
• "The Eucharist is 'the source and summit of the Christian life' " (CCC #1324).
• The Eucharist is the cause of communion that we have with God and each other. It is what makes us the People of God (check out CCC #1325).
• When we celebrate the Mass, our celebration is one with the heavenly liturgy and anticipates the eternal life we hope to share with God and His saints (check out CCC #1326).
• The Eucharist makes present the sacrifice of Christ's death on the cross and adds to it our own sacrifices as an offering (check out CCC #1330).
• Jesus presides invisibly over every eucharistic celebration; the human minister — whether bishop or priest — represents Him (check out CCC #1348).
• The purpose of every Mass is communion of the faithful with Christ, and in receiving communion the faithful receive Christ himself (check out CCC #1382).
• Every Mass is celebrated in communion with the entire Body of Christ, both living and dead, both in heaven and on earth (check out CCC #1354).
This is awesome stuff! So tell me, why is church or goin to Mass borin? Believe me, it's because of us! There ain't nothin borin about Him! We're not aware of what's really goin on.
Don't get me wrong. We sometimes get a lot of the wrong kind of help from priests and congregations that lack a real passion for Jesus. That lack of passion expresses itself in bad preachin, bad singin, lack of energy in the readin of the Word of God in church, bad fellowship before and durin and after Mass, and even in inexcusably bad sound systems! The list can go on.
That's not the point! The point is, "in the Eucharist the Church is as it were at the foot of the cross with Mary, united with the offering and intercession of Christ" (CCC #1370). Chew on that for a while, and say good-bye to the "Mass is boring" thing! Time to wake up, folks! U got 2 believe!
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
The Eucharist involves many dimensions of human life: celebration, gathering, and meal, just to mention a few. The biggie is that the Eucharist is a sacrifice. That's why we say "the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass."
The reason for this is that, whenever Mass is celebrated, the onetime sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is made present at that Mass in an unbloody manner.
Check this out:
Catechism of the Catholic Church #1366
Jesus wished to leave us a visible sacrifice for our sins.
You got to keep readin and re-readin what the Church is sayin here to really get this. We keep forgettin! We're talkin here bout the greatest gift and mystery this side of heaven.
So what did you expect? Plug and play? Our minds are conditioned by this "plug and play," got-to-get-it right-away thing: immediate gratification. Not so with the Holy Eucharist, and not so with anything else in this life that's really worth your while.
My Body Given Up for You
On Holy Thursday, Jesus instituted the Eucharist. He said, "Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you." Then He took the cup and said, " Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me."
The day after He said this, He did it — gave up His body and shed His blood that we might be saved by so great a love.
Just remember. When you forget, remember. The great mystery of the Eucharist is so much bigger that you, me, your parish, and our limited experience of reality.
Check this out: The Church teaches that in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, all of "creation loved by God is presented to the Father" (CCC #1559) through the Paschal Mystery (the death and resurrection of Christ). I could go on forever about the Eucharist. Hopefully, I will — and so will you! Know what I'm sayin? Jesus said, "Whoever eats of this bread will live forever" (John 6:51).
I want to share with you what JP said when I was in Rome on October 11, 2000, for his general audience. Stick with this and everything will be alright:
United to the sacrifice of Christ, the Church in the Eucharist gives voice to the praise of the entire creation. This must be corresponded to by the determination of each of the faithful to offer his existence, his "body" as St. Paul says, in a living communion with Christ.In this way, one unique life unites God and man,Christ crucified and risen for all, and the disciple called to give himself totally to him.
If we ain't gettin a sense of the real presence of Jesus inside the church, we ain't gonna get a sense of the real presence of Jesus outside the church. This is the "living communion with Christ" that the Holy Father is talkin about, which creates a bond of solidarity with all people — to be aware of the presence of Jesus in the poor and suffering, and in all peoples. Remember, rich people suffer too.
So if you're bored with Jesus inside the church, you're probably missin Him outside the church. Only you can make the difference. Will you?
Havin' taken a look at the sacraments of initiation — baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist — we now will look at the sacraments of healing: penance and the anointing of the sick. But before we move on, I should say that even though the Eucharist isn't classified as a sacrament of healing, it has awesome healing power. Check out what St. Thomas Aquinas has to say about it: "No other sacrament has greater healing power; through it sins are purged away, virtues are increased, and the soul is enriched with an abundance of every spiritual gift.

I always used barley for making barley drink with dried winter melon. Since there was no more stock of winter melon in the pantry, I used the small amount of barley left for soup instead. First savory barley soup I ever made, it was superb. Barley and lots of vegetables in it made it hearty and filling.
It was good for my 7 moths old boy too, I scooped out some potatoes and carrots before adding salt then mashed them up with some soup to make baby food. One for all, how convenient!
¼ Chicken (I used free-range chicken)
100 g Button Mushroom
¼ cup Barley, rinsed
1 Carrot, cut into chunks
1 large Potato, cut into chunks
1 Onion, cut into wedges
2 stalks Celery
2 cloves Garlic, crushed
1 tbsp Coriander Powder
2 Bay Leaves
1-2 litres Water
Greens (Broccoli, sweet peas, etc)
Salt to taste
- Boil water in a large pot, add in all ingredients except greens and salt.
- Bring to boil then let it simmer until potato is softened.
- Add salt to taste and let it cook for further 10 minutes or so.
- Then, add greens and cook for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm.

Christian K necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 83 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
D&G-Software, Software for Mail-Order-Companies
D&G-Software GmbH develops and maintains an ERP-Software for mail-order-companies.
The ERP-System that needs to be started with such icons runs pretty much all day and contains everything you need to run "your" company: Addresses, orders, shipments details, warehouse and stock information, SKU's etc.
Our Software is being used in over 300 mail-order-companies throughout Europe. Our customers are small and medium-sized companies as well as some large merchants, which will ship between 150 and 10.000 orders per day.
This icons are to be used to launch our software from any windows-based desktop. Most of our customers use Microsoft XP, Vista as well as Windows 7. Our CI has changed over the years and our recent icons which will be delivered along with our software are no longer reflecting the right colors or system. Our customers refer to us as "D&G" (just like the fashion company, only that we exist for over 27 years) , even though our ERP-software is called "VS/4". The "VS" stands for "Versandhaus-System", which is German for "mail order-system" and the /4 stands for the version - which is 4. Eventually in a few years we might call the ERP-System VS/5 but for now, 4 is the version that we keep developing.
We need two new icons that will reflect either our brand, the company or the ERP-System. Be creative and design icons that will identify an ERP-System on a desktop and are also easy to detect on a desktop. Remember, most admins or users have multiple icons on their desktop and our need to "stick" out a bit, so that you can start your ERP-system easily.
The two new icons start the local Server and the Client. You'll need to start the local server first and then the client.
Please check the existing designs (see attachment) for what we have used in the past and are currently using to launch our software.
The needed dimensions for the icons are:
Client and Server-Icon need to have each the same size.
The current CI-colour of D&G is "HKS 43" but you are not bound to use this color unless you have a better idea.

This morning, former Forumla 1 champion Kimi Raikkonen drove his first practice in a Nascar race truck ahead of the race in Charlotte tonight. See if you can spot the moment where a Scandinavian flick comes in handy.
Compared to the World Rally Champinoship cars and Raikkonen's former rides in F1, racing a steel tube-frame Toyota powered by an iron-block, pushrod, carbureted V8 probably feels like steering a team of mules. Raikkonen's topped out at 172.717 mph, ranking him 30th of the 36 drivers in the morning session, and 30th of 37th in the afternoon. His first complaint of the car being "loose" came midway through. (Hint: It's supposed to be that way.)
Raikkonen's Nascar learning curve probably has a few more power slides to come, and his second session apparently included his first brush with the wall. Raikkonen later told reporters he hopes to get some time in a Nascar Cup car next weekend: "If I completely suck, there's no reason to come back. Hopefully, it goes better than today.''

This is like Dr. Dolittle goes Skynet. New York artist Marcelo Gallegos — whose leprechaun/kappa hybrid you may remember — has recently done a delightful series of illustrations depicting wind-up animals based on taxidermy references at the Field Museum of Chicago.
Check out such innocent fauna as kiwis and fawns bearing heavy weaponry and other less huggable creatures, like the piranha-frog and parrot-gun. You can pick up prints here if Gallegos' mechanical menagerie tickles your fancy.

2002 Lexus ES 300 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
A total redesign makes a new machine out of the venerable ES 300.
When the Lexus ES 300 first arrived a little more than a decade ago, ES stood for 'Executive Sedan,' suggesting conservatism. Executives, not to mention sedans, have changed a lot since then. Now we have the all-new 2002 ES 300, with conservative execution but aggressive styling. From venerable to bold, one swift stroke. The careful elegance of this car is going to knock some executives' socks off.
There's just one model, the ES 300 sedan, which borrows so many luxury features from the LS 430 that it's being called the 'Baby LS 430' in the halls at Lexus. It starts inside with the shape and construction of the power front seats, and adds a Supplemental Restraint System of multi airbags. New standard equipment includes Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), which works the antilock brakes independently on each wheel; dual-zone climate control with air filtration; seven-speaker, 86-watt audio system with single CD and cassette; water-repellant front door glass; and lamps that illuminate the doorsill and the ground when the doors are opened. The snazzy nine-spoke alloy wheels nicely set off the un-conservative styling.
And how's this for value? The base price remains the same, $31,505.
It will cost another eight grand or so to get it fully loaded, however. Options include Vehicle Skid Control ($650); Adaptive Variable Suspension ($620); the same Regency leather as in the LS 430 ($1560); a touch-screen DVD satellite navigation system featuring faster route calculation and voice guidance ($3960, including the leather and a six-disc CD); three upgrades in audio systems, the ultimate being a Mark Levinson system with six-disc in-dash (or console, with the navigation system) CD changer offering 240 watts ($3010, including the leather); a power rear sunshade ($210); high intensity discharge headlamps with automatic leveling and rain-sensing wipers ($640); heated seats ($440); and chrome wheels ($1700).
It's the rake and headlamps that make the styling so striking and quietly dynamic. The front end seems to slope from the top of the windshield over the sculpted hood and tidy dark grille, down to the smooth airdam under the almost seamless front bumper. The headlight cluster sets a new benchmark in smooth, swoopy angularity, like silvery eyes pulled back at the corners. The tail light, similarly shaped, wraps forward as if stretching to meet the headlight. Every little corner contributes to the suggestion of shape-the rear window outline moves the lines up and away from the rear deck, for example. Even the underbody was addressed, as it's nearly flat. Not surprisingly, the overall design results in a very low 0.28 coefficient of drag (a measure of aerodynamic efficiency).
One measure of the success of the styling is that the car is bigger than it looks when standing alone. It's actually 2.4 inches higher than the old ES 300 (with an inch more ground clearance) but more aerodynamic. And with another two inches of wheelbase, there's four more cubic feet of interior room than before, making 10 percent more than the Mercedes C-Class. Trunk volume has also been increased, by 12 percent.
New technology in sound absorption and isolating engine vibration brings exceptional quiet and smoothness. Another trick from the LS 430 is the anti-vibration subframe mounting for the revised suspension. Behind the fit and finish is a great deal of careful design, detailed work, and use of the latest materials such as composites and resin-steel sandwiches. The car's quality construction can be felt and heard in the tight 'thunk' in the closing of the doors, trunk and hood, and even in the solid feel of the turn signal stalk.
One of the engineering objectives of the new ES 300 was to make it the safest car in its class. The redesigned unibody chassis has computer-designed crush structures and passenger compartment reinforcements. The car's introduction to automotive journalists included the showing of a slow-motion crash-test video, a head-on impact at 40 mph, and the body can be seen rippling rearward like a wave, rolling with the crunch to the nose. The front end is totally crushed, but, remarkably, the windshield is unbroken and the doors can be opened. Additionally, the crash-test dummy was protected by front seats designed to reduce whiplash, and three airbags for the driver alone.
Under the hood, the emphasis was on increasing performance through efficiency rather than horsepower and torque. The 3.0-liter V6 was already pretty smooth, with the vee between the cylinder banks being 60 degrees versus the 90 degrees of many vee engine blocks (the narrower the vee, the better the balance). Lexus also uses sophisticated electronic engine mounts that change their vibration-dampening level as the engine speed increases.
The '02 produces the same 210 horsepower and 220 pound-feet of torque as the '01, but the acceleration has been improved (0 to 60 in 8.1 seconds) thanks mostly to a drive-by-wire throttle system pioneered in the LS 430. A new induction system and redesigned exhaust system bring more benefit, with emissions low enough for the ES to be classified as a ULEV (Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle) in all 50 states. A new five-speed automatic transmission helps increase EPA-estimated fuel mileage from 20/28 mpg city/highway on the current model to 21/29 mpg on the '02 model, despite a weight increase of 67 pounds.
Inside, the first thing that strikes you is the purplish shade of the California walnut wood, which flows in a subtle T shape from the center console up to the dash then out to the back of each front door. The wood has a different look, and it works with the brushed aluminum trim. The standard steering wheel and shift lever are stitched leather and look very nice; the optional wheel is part walnut and the lever all walnut, and they add prestige.
A clean instrument panel features analog instruments with a white background, and they are easy to read. Besides the usual indicator lights, there's an exterior temperature gauge and an information display that covers fuel mileage, driving range and average speed.
We had a big problem with reading the radio and climate control digital displays in the sun, however. And the air conditioning has a tiny crumb-sized green light indicating it's on, which is undetectable in the bright of day.
The glove compartment contains a trunk lock, as well as trunk lid and fuel door releases; and the rearview mirror is self-dimming electrochromic, with a digital compass. The console holds a storage box with a power outlet inside, and two cupholders with adjustable rings. There's a purse hanger in the front passenger footwell, and two retractable coat hooks in the rear.
The standard fabric seats offer 10-way power adjustment for the driver and eight-way for the front passenger, so the seating position is excellent, with lots of front-seat legroom. There are good places to brace your limbs, and a big dead pedal for your left foot. Our test model was loaded, and had the plush Regency leather. The seats are very comfortable, but if you try to drive the ES 300 around corners like a sports sedan, your upper body will slide a bit.
Increasing the size of the ES 300 resulted in more headroom, and more legroom in the rear. Front and rear headroom increased by 1.7 and 1.4 inches, while rear legroom grew from 34.4 to 35.6 inches. Front legroom suffered, however, shrinking from 43.5 to 42.2 inches. Despite the increased height, there doesn't seem to be an abundance of headroom; a 5'10' driver can touch the headliner by stretching a bit. And the slope of the rear window doesn't allow a panoramic view, though it still fills the rearview mirror. The mirror is mounted so close to the headliner that it has to be grabbed awkwardly from the bottom to adjust.
The optional DVD navigation system is state of the art, designed for intuitive operation, according to Lexus. It has a tilt screen and simplified highway graphics for easier viewing, and multi routes to multi destinations for those so intuitively inclined. This system is third generation, and route calculation is twice as fast as before, with voice guidance that directs you back to the route if you blow it. In French, if you want it. The database also contains the location of airports, banks, hotels, restaurants, shopping centers and even ATMs.
Driving Impression
Suspension and styling are key strengths to this car, and the suspension is highly polished. Our test car had the Adaptable Variable Suspension, which is tuned very nicely, although four stiffness settings might be overkill, especially since neither 4 (firm) nor 1 (soft) were extreme. We drove in position 4 around town and it wasn't harsh (definitely stiff on a washboard gravel road, though). Conversely, the car didn't wallow during spirited cornering, even in position 1. The ride simply can be made great in all conditions.
The 16-inch tires have gone from 205/65 to 215/60, making them lower and wider. The four-wheel independent strut suspension is the same design as before, (it keeps body roll down), but strengthened subframes allow more precise handling. The speed-sensitive power-assist rack-and-pinion steering has a very nice touch: light, but with good feel. We got into the ES 300 after a week in a very nice Volvo C70, also front-wheel drive, and immediately noticed the effortless steering.
The brakes, too, were effortless; very nicely sensitive. The first time we applied them, at 30 mph, we went, 'Whoa!' You get used to it quickly, and appreciate it.
If the styling and suspension are the strong features, the engine and transmission offer less to boast about. The all-aluminum, 24-valve V6 engine produces the same 210 horsepower as the previous ES 300, although refinements have made it smoother and quicker; its 0-60 acceleration time of 8.1 seconds is decent, but may be disappointing if compared to some of the high-horsepower competition, such as the 260-horsepower Acura TL-S.
The new transmission is a five-speed automatic with manual shift capability, and it's a solid advancement in technology over the old four-speed automatic. Aggressive upshifts are snappy and casual upshifts are invisible, but the downshifts aren't always smooth; and we were surprised at how frequent the transmission kicked down, given the engine's healthy 222 pound-feet of torque.
The ES 300 shares its platform with the new Toyota Camry (similarly styled), and its front-wheel-drive layout puts it in the category with the Audi A4, Acura 3.2 TL, and Infiniti I35. Rear-drive sedan competition includes the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class, and Cadillac Catera (soon to be replaced by the sporty CTS).
The ES 300's weight distribution of 61 percent front, 39 percent rear might limit the cornering potential (that's where the Skid Control option comes in), but then Lexus offers a rear-drive alternative, the IS 300, with a five-speed gearbox for those truly into driving.
The 2002 ES 300 is a strong contender in its class, if not the new favorite. And if the old ES 300 was a deserved success, the new one, a much better performing and better looking car for the same price, has got to be considered a winner.

Sports Birthdays for July 7 — Michele Kwan and More
Here are some of the people in the sports world celebrating birthdays on July 7:
Ralph Sampson
Age: 52
Profession: Retired NBA Player
Best Known For: One of the most dominant college basketball players of all-time and a four-time NBA All-Star, center Ralph Sampson played at the University of Virginia from 1980 to 1983. The 7'4″ Sampson was named the Naismith College Player of the Year three consecutive times (1981-1983). After being drafted No. 1 overall by the Houston Rockets in the 1983 NBA Draft, Sampson was named the 1984 NBA Rookie of the Year. He was the NBA All-Star Game MVP in 1985 and averaged more than 20 points and 10 rebounds per game from 1984 through 1986. Sampson's twisting, buzzer-beating shot eliminated the defending-champion Los Angles Lakers from the playoffs in 1986 and sent the Rockets to the NBA Finals. Injuries slowed Sampson in later years, as he played with Golden State, Sacramento and Washington from 1987 to 1991.
Chuck Knoblauch
Age: 44
Profession: Retired MLB Player
Best Known For: A four-time All-Star, Chuck Knoblauch was one of the best second-basemen in baseball during his career with the Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals from 1991 to 2002. Named American League Rookie of the Year in 1991, Knoblauch helped lead the Twins to a World Series win over the Braves that October. After being traded to the Yankees in 1997, Knoblauch was a member of New York teams that won three consecutive World Series titles (1998-2000). While in New York, he began suffering from a condition that caused him to consistently make errant throws when fielding balls at second base. In 2007, Major League Baseball's Mitchell Report alleged that Knoblauch used performance-enhancing drugs.
Joe Sakic
Age: 43
Profession: Retired NHL Player
Best Known For: A 13-time All-Star, Joe Sakic was one of the best hockey players in the NHL during his playing career with the Quebec Nordiques /Colorado Avalanche franchise from 1988 to 2009. Sakic was named captain of the team in 1992 and helped the franchise win the Stanley Cup in 1996 and 2001. He won the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player in 2001 and the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the playoffs in 1996. Sakic led Team Canada to the gold medal in ice hockey at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and was voted as the tournament's most valuable player. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012.
Lisa Leslie
Age: 40
Profession: Retired WNBA Player
Best Known For: One of the best women's basketball players of all-time, American Lisa Leslie was a four-time Olympic gold medal winner and a three-time WNBA Most Valuable Player while with the Los Angeles Sparks from 1997 to 2009. A seven-time All-Star, Leslie was a key member of two WNBA championship teams in Los Angeles. Leslie was the first player to dunk in a WNBA game. She retired at the end of the 2009 season holding WNBA career records in both points and rebounds.
Michele Kwan
Age: 32
Profession: Retired Olympic Figure Skater
Best Known For: The most decorated skater in U.S. figure skating history, Michelle Kwan won two Olympic medals (1998 and 2002), five world championships (1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2003) and nine U.S. championships (1996, 1998–2005) . She was elected to the United States Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 2012.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 4, 2010) - The ETSU baseball team is set to host 30th ranked St. John's in a three-game series starting on Friday at 3 p.m. at Cardinal Park.
The two teams will meet on Saturday at 2 p.m., and will close out the series on Sunday at 1 p.m.
ETSU (6-1) is currently on a six-game win streak after sweeping Saint Peter's at home last weekend. Junior Chas Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.) leads the team with a .526 average, while freshman Scott McNally (Marietta, Ga.) has been stellar out of the bullpen as he is off to a 3-0 start.
The Bucs are 1-2 all time against the Red Storm having lost a three-game series to St. John's in 2006. The series will be the second time this year that ETSU has met a ranked opponent. The Buccaneers defeated 34th ranked Kansas State 10-6 in The Citadel Memorial Challenge.
The Red Storm (6-0) are also currently on a six-game win streak after going 3-0 at the second annual Big East/Big Ten Challenge. St. John's defeated Minnesota 5-4 before getting a 2-1 win over a very good Michigan team. The Red Storm closed out the tournament with a 6-4 win over Illinois.
St. John's comes into the weekend with a team average of .333 led by Sean O'Hare who is hitting .458, while Paul Karmas leads the team with three home runs and 12 RBI.
Live stats are available by clicking the link above. For more information on Buccaneer baseball or any other athletic news, please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

Hi volks,
After installing FE Update 1 on an Amiga 1200 with Mediator and Voodoo 3 Card, a friend of mine gets black screen. The voodo is not recognized anymore.
Is it possible, that the functionality of adding Z3 Ram (used or not) causes Adressspace-conflicts when using a voodoo3 with open WinSize Jumper on Mediator ?
Readeon Users will not run into this Problem, because winsize is closed (->more than 256 MB PCI Memory)
From guide:
WINSIZE: This relates to how much memory space your PCI cards require. With the jumper open, the PCI memory space is 256MB. With it closed, the space is 512MB.
Only your graphics card is likely to present memory to the system, so you can base the decision for this jumper on the amount of RAM on your graphics card.
If it's less than 256MB, open this jumper. If it's 256MB or more, close this jumper.
NOTE: Some Radeon cards may require more memory space than their total RAM size, so you may need you to close this jumper (you can check by comparing the MemSpace values in C:PCIInfo output with the jumper open and closed).
any Ideas ? Betatesters with this setup around ? any suggestions ?
thanks in advance

To start a new CODEPINK local, please read this.
Dear Supporter,
Enjoy our Roseroots Report for January now coming to you monthly. CODEPINK has a new project Women Occupy -- which includes a website, a listserv, an online forum, regular conference calls, and more. Women are playing a crucial role in the Occupy Movement, which why we are creating Women Occupy, providing women with a space to connect, share, learn, and build. On March 8th, International Women's Day, women across the globe will collectively rise up to put a spotlight on the need for social and economic justice, and we want you to be there. Email firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to be part of the organizing team. Join us at www.WomenOccupy.org!
Some highlights from recent CODEPINK local actions:
The new year got off to a rockin' start as a CODEPINK contingent of both Northern and Southern pinkers took part in Occupy the Rose Bowl on January 2 in Pasadena, CA! At the end of the traditional pre-Rose Bowl game parade, over 4000 people marched with their signs, banners, a huge vampire squid puppet (representing rapacious corporations especially Goldman Sachs) and fun costumes.
Arizona CODEPINKERs continue to stay active in Occupy Tucson and Occupy Phoenix, and in other civic events. Liz Hourican pinked a Democratic candidate for state office at a state committee meeting he took the honor with good humor.
On the grim 10th-year anniversary of the opening of the torture/detention facility known as Gitmo, Texas CODEPINKERS protested. Local coordinator Leslie Harris reported: CODEPINK Dallas, along with allies from Occupy Dallas, the Dallas Peace Center, Veterans for Peace, North DFW 99%, Amnesty International, the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, and Pax Christi staged a demonstration, in solidarity with a broad coalition of groups across the country for "10 YEARS TOO MANY: NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST GUANTANAMO."
The goals of the protest were to remind people that after ten long years, there are still people - some who have already been approved for release - indefinitely detained at the prison at Guantanamo Bay [without a trial] and to raise awareness about the NDAA.
Demonstrators dressed in orange jumpsuits and black hoods used street theater to draw the attention of the public. The group rode the DART train to downtown Dallas, and then marched to the Earle Cabell Federal Building and Rosa Parks Plaza, where they did mic checks, listened to speakers, chanted, and passed out 400 flyers explaining what the street theater was about. They returned via the DART train, mic-checking along the way, to the Mockingbird Bridge, in the shadow of the Bush Institute, to call for accountability of George W. Bush for authoring wars of aggression, indefinite detention, and torture. Please watch the video.
On January 17, DC locals visited the office of NDAA proponent Senator Carl Levin, with Sgt. Shamar Thomas (of "1 Marine Vs. 30 Cops" video fame) to demand some answers. Tighe Barry performed hilariously as the Michigan Democrat; see the action here.
Following Obama's signing of the NDAA, Lisa Savage and her husband Mark Roman created a video parody of the very popular video Shit Girls Say, and its spinoffs: Stuff Obama Supporters Say. Their examples of Obama apologia include remarks on Guantanano, Bagram, Iraq, drones and other not-so-funny topics, as well as lovely cats and snowy Maine scenery. Salon.com commentator Glenn Greenwald, among others, tweeted out the link and Lisa's video has now reached over 42,000 viewers!
In Chicago, local coordinator Pat Hunt has been very busy representing CODEPINK to the Coalition Against NATO/G8 War & Poverty Agenda (CANG8) and to the Network for a NATO Free World, helping prepare for the international (and probably huge) protests planned for the joint gathering of NATO and the G8 in Chicago on May 18 -19. Pat sent in this report of actions to prevent Mayor Rahm Emanuel from making peaceable assembly virtually impossible in the Windy City. CANG8 joined together with Occupy Chicago and several unions to unite our efforts to defend of civil liberties in Chicago.
Emanuel then moved to withdraw first one, and then another, of the most criticized pieces. Protests continued to grow; Emanuel retreated further; the protests mounted, and he retreated even further. Finally, a version was reached that the council opposition could vote for
We have the right to protest against war, austerity, and inequality. Mayor Emanuel, you'll see us in the streets of Chicago: our streets. CODEPINK will be participating in at least 3 major actions during these joint summits for the 1% and their military enablers; see them here. In the Bay Area, local coordinator Cynthia Papermaster organized and MC'd a powerful rally denouncing a decade of indefinite detention, torture and other abuses at Guantanamo Bay. One of the speakers in the strong lineup that included reps from Amnesty International, World Can't Wait, War Resisters League and of course CODEPINK was Marilyn Walker, the mother of John American Taliban Walker Lindh. Marilyn talked about how her son, now serving 20 years in a maximum security prison, would have had NO recourse to due process if he had been taken into detention under the new NDAA. Cynthia has just been honored with the First Annual Tom Paine Courageous Spirit Award from the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists Social Justice Committee. Cynthia has worked for years on the issues of torture, war crimes, and bringing war criminals to justice, or at least to public infamy. As Portland, Oregon local coordinator Martha Shelley (working hard on housing/foreclosure issues) reminds us, Tom Paine was the only working class signer of the Declaration of Independence.
And speaking of Portland CODEPINKers there recently had a large potluck dinner and gathering in honor of Rae Abileah's visit, her first to the City of Roses, where she attended a training conference of Jewish Voice for Peace and talked about Occupy AIPAC.
Local coordinator Meg Brookover from Bend, Oregon was quoted in a newspaper article about a court solidarity action with occupiers there, after their arrest for an 8-hour sit-in at Congressman Walden's office on December 5: It was an honor to hear the testimonies of the Bend 8 in the courtroom yesterday.
It was a culmination of many hours of work for this action and for those of us who stand together so often, seeking a meaningful way to speak out against injustice. Among the issues the defendants spoke to: First Amendment Rights; the Iraq War and Walden's complicity; the importance of town halls and how Walden is hiding by not doing them.
Shut Down Wall Street West on January 20, the 2nd year anniversary of the infamous Citizens United Supreme Court decision, was a major CODEPINK- Occupy SF day of action all over downtown San Francicso. Starting at 6 AM in the rain, a group of CODEPINKers brought a giant squid to the doors of the Bank of America tower, where Goldman Sachs (AKA Goldman Sucks) also has offices, and was part of direct action to bring attention to corporate greed. An inside action at GS's 45th floor suite ended dramatically in the lobby; see video. An hour-long rally at the Federal Courthouse, partly organized by CODEPINK stalwart Susan Harman, brought a lively crowd of about 200 to call for amending the constitution, chanting,Corporations are not people! Money is not speech!
Many long-running peace vigils have ended at the official conclusion of the US war/occupation of Iraq. Some continue, including the weekly one organized by Corla Coles of Redlands, CA and the famous Walk for Peace on the Golden Gate Bridge, every second Sunday. If you have a vigil in your community or other regular repeating event, please post it here. International work:
From Elsa Rassbach in Germany: In Berlin we're doing lots of outreach and coordination, including the protests against the NATO/G8 Summit in Chicago in May. Protests during the NATO/G8 Summit will be worldwide, including several at US/NATO headquarters, bases, and airports in military use in Germany. Much excitement about Chicago, which builds on the big anti-NATO-Summit demos in Strasbourg/Kehl in 2009 and in Lisbon in 2010. And of course every day Occupy Berlin posts the news from Occupy in Oakland, DC, Chicago and Maine. Such a breathtakingly rapid acceleration of awareness worldwide that we are all in this together, shoulder to shoulder!
From Narumi Tomida in Japan: Global Conference For A Nuclear Power Free World [which she attended with other Japanese codepinkers and Green Tea Party members on January 14-15 in Yokohama] was so wonderful and powerful! It gave me so big a fruit for peacemaking. Listening to many speeches, especially those from Australia, Mongolia, Jordan, and Bangladesh, etc., I realized that the development or the accident of nuclear power by one country affects other countries, especially the poor countries in many ways, so we are the community of destiny in this earth. So, we must abolish all nuclear power from the world for us and for all friends all over the world. CODEPINKers write books as well as make the news!
I've just finished reading a library copy of south Texas coordinator and CODEPINK co-founder Diane Wilson's Diary of an Eco-Activist what a page-turner! Her warm, urgent, funny voice comes through authentically in every line, and her stories of fighting environmental destruction brought tears to my eyes and a fighting spirit to my heart.
Lisa Savage has contributed a book to The Military Industrial Complex at 50, a follow up to the conference of the same name that she also attended. Lisa has also published a young adult novel she co-wrote with Meredith Ironside, Buggy, which is about teens dealing with the repeated deployment of a parent with PTSD. Rae, Kristen and Starhawk are the CODEPINK contributing authors to Beautiful Trouble: A Toolbox for Revolution.

Five months after their friend was killed in a crash in Glastonbury, Conn., police have arrested three 17-year-old boys who are accused of letting her drive drunk.
Police said the boys knew Jane Modlesky, 17, of Glastonbury, was "highly intoxicated" when she got behind the wheel of an SUV early on the morning of Sunday, July 14 and hit a tree on Woodhaven Road.
Modlesky, who would have been a senior at Glastonbury High School this year, was alone in the car when the crash happened and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
The SUV, a 2008 Honda Pilot, belonged to the parents of one of Modlesky's friends, police said, and she had been in the car with four 16-year-old boys prior to the crash.
The teenage boy who was initially driving dropped a friend off at a Glastonbury home, police said, then drove to his own house and got out.
Another 16-year boy got behind the wheel and drove to his own house, where he and another teen got out of the car, police said.
Modlesky then got behind the wheel and was killed when she struck a tree half-a-mile away, police said.
Police determined that Modlesky's blood alcohol content was .27, which was more than 13 times the legal limit of .02 for someone under the age of 21.
Police said the last two teens in the car with Modlesky were well aware that she was "highly intoxicated," but allowed her to drive anyway.
"They very well knew that she was intoxicated and should not have been driving," said Agent James Kennedy of the Glastonbury Police Department.
The first teen to drive the car was charged with violation of passenger restrictions and operating a motor vehicle between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. He is due in court on Dec. 20.
The boy he dropped off was not charged.
The second teen to drive was charged with reckless endangerment in the second degree, violation of passenger restrictions and operating a motor vehicle between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. He is due in court on Dec. 18.
The other teen was charged with reckless endangerment in the second degree.
Glastonbury High School students said the fatal crash has been devastating.
"It's just ruining us," said Jonathan Rico, a senior at the high school.
Another senior, Austin Mccallum, said many students are "rethinking teenagers being stupid – let's go out drinking and whatnot – they're really saying, you know, this could happen to anyone now."
In August, police charged the girl who they said threw a party hours before the crash and served alcohol to minors.

Film Solutions Chooses Alfresco For First-of-Its-Kind Web-based Photo Approval System
Partners to Create Online Production Portals For the Film and Television Industries
LONDON and LOS ANGELES – November 13, 2007 – Alfresco Software, Inc., today announced that Film Solutions LLC, a pioneer in environmentally-friendly film and television production tools, has selected Alfresco document management solution as the platform for its recently released Photokill Online™ photo approval system.
PhotoKill Online is the first-of-its-kind Web-based photo approval system that provides a complete solution to one of the most arduous tasks facing film and television production—the talent photo approval, or photokill, process. By contract, many film and television stars have first right of refusal to a certain percentage of photos taken for marketing and publicity purposes. The traditional photokill process involves manual sorting, printing, packaging and delivering 15,000 to 25,000 photos to actors who may have already moved on to other projects.
PhotoKill Online is specifically designed to satisfy the contractual rights of talent while providing unprecedented photo management tools for film and television producers and production companies. By shifting the photo approval process to the Internet, PhotoKill Online provides instant and secure access to a production's entire photo library, virtually eliminating geographic and delivery constraints. Already, some of the major studios and independent production houses are using PhotoKill Online.
Kevin Matossian, founder of Films Solutions and producer of Hollywood films—such as the recently released September Dawn starring Jon Voight—was looking for solutions to production problems that he had experienced firsthand.
"For Photokill Online, we needed a platform that would provide secure worldwide access, automated photo sorting and tagging, and multiple search capabilities. Overall scalability was a concern, and we liked that Alfresco is open source," said Matossian. "None of the other solutions we evaluated even came close in terms of value to price. Alfresco will become an integral partner as we intend to use Alfresco as the basis for many of our upcoming products as well."
In addition to PhotoKill, Film Solutions is planning a suite of Internet film and television production management tools to automate various production tasks that are now manual and paper-based. The company wants to create a true "production portal," which will bring all the elements of entertainment production online and give every appropriate person access, as well as save time and cost.
Alfresco has seen major adoption of its open source ECM system throughout the world. The company now has more than 300 customers, including the American Stock Exchange, Boise Cascade, Christian Science Monitor, Informa and the Nebraska State Legislature. The community version of Alfresco's open source ECM has been downloaded 700,000 times.

DNR anticipates good deer hunting season
Deer hunting should be good when Minnesota's firearms hunting season opens November 3, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
"Minnesota's deer population is up from last year, in part, because of the mild winter," said Lou Cornicelli, the DNR's wildlife research manager. He estimated the deer population at about 1 million.
Cornicelli said one difference between this and last year is there are fewer areas where hunters can harvest more than one deer. This change, he said, reflects the agency's interest in rebuilding or maintaining the deer herd in certain portions of the state by managing the harvest.
"Hunters in about half of the state had to apply for a limited number of antlerless permits," said Cornicelli. "Moreover, there are fewer places where hunters can take two or more deer." These harvest reduction changes, he said, were implemented based on hunter input and also addressing the interests of private landowners, agricultural growers, automobile drivers and others. They also reflect the fact that antlerless and bonus deer permit availability decreases as overly abundant populations are brought into line with agency goals.
Last year, Minnesota's nearly 500,000 deer hunters harvested 192,300 deer.
Minnesota's deer harvest has varied widely over the past half-century. In a historical context, too many deer were taken during the 1960s, forcing the closure of the deer season in 1971 and a rebuilding of the deer herd through the 1970s, '80s and '90s. The highest deer harvest occurred in 2003 when 270,000 deer were taken as part of an effort to reduce the deer herd. Today, the DNR manages the deer population based on goals established with public input.
"The state's deer population has gone from too low to too high to fairly close to what people are willing to accept," said Cornicelli. "I don't envision spectacularly high or low harvests in the years ahead but rather moderate harvests ... harvests that reflect the herd being managed responsibly and responsively." Cornicelli said deer hunters play an important role in deer management by helping control deer numbers.
The firearms deer season concludes in the northern Minnesota on Sunday, November 18, and Sunday, November 11 in all other parts of the state. A late season in southeastern Minnesota that stretches from Watertown in the north to Caledonia in the south opens Saturday, November 17, and closes Sunday, November 25.

2004 Chevrolet Tahoe ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
When size large is just right.
The Chevrolet Tahoe is America's best-selling full-size SUV. One of the reasons is that it seems to be exactly the right size SUV for a lot of Americans. It's big enough to haul busloads of people and boatloads of cargo, yet it's more manageable than the super-size Suburban.
Tahoe carries more cargo than a compact or mid-size SUV such as the Chevy TrailBlazer or Ford Explorer. It can carry five passengers and their gear at the same time. Third-row seats are available to increase the capacity to seven passengers, or up to nine when equipped with bench seats throughout. The Tahoe makes for a stable towing platform and pulling a trailer is no problem with the optional 5.3-liter V8. Yet the Tahoe is far more maneuverable than a Suburban, important in crowded parking lots, underground garages, or when parallel parking, and it will fit into more garages.
On the road, the Tahoe is smooth and stable, a rock. It has plenty of power and its brakes work well. The cabin is comfortable and familiar, friendly and functional, particularly after improvements that were made for 2003. Turn off the highway and the Tahoe handles gravel, rugged two-tracks, mud, and snow. In any kind of driving, it's a great choice for someone who needs real carrying capacity.
Improvements to the Tahoe for 2004 further enhance its safety. New Hydroboost brakes provide power assist even if the engine stalls or is turned off. A tire-pressure monitor is now standard. New options include electronic traction control and 17-inch all-weather tires. A major upgrade was made to the Tahoe for 2003 for increased safety and reliability: GM's StabiliTrak electronic stability program became available for improved control on slippery surfaces. New airbag systems were designed to better protect children and adults of various sizes. Adjustable pedals became available, enhancing comfort and safety for drivers of smaller stature. The brakes were improved.
Tahoe dazzles its passengers with entertainment possibilities. XM Satellite Radio delivers CD-quality music, radio, sports, and other programming coast to coast. A rear DVD entertainment system with wireless headphones keeps the kids busy.
Chevy Tahoe is available in LS and LT trim, plus there's a Z71 off-road package. Two V8 engines are available, the Vortec 4800 and the Vortec 5300. Two- and four-wheel drive are available. All models come with a four-speed automatic transmission.
The Vortec 5300 is rated 295 horsepower, which is 10 more than the Vortec 4800. More important is the difference in torque: The 4800 develops 295 pounds-feet of torque, vs. 330 pounds-feet for the 5300, both at 4000 rpm. Torque is that force that propels you away from intersections and it is especially important for towing or hauling weighty stuff, like people.
Tahoe LS ($34,200) comes standard with the 4.8-liter V8, a 40/20/40 split bench front seat with six-way power for the driver, a 60/40 split folding middle bench seat, fog lamps, assist steps, heated power outside mirrors, tri-zone manual climate control, and a rear window defogger. Tahoe LS is available with 4WD ($37,000). The 5.3-liter V8 is optional ($700). The Preferred Equipment Group ($1735) adds bucket seats with upgraded cloth upholstery, a floor console, a Bose nine-speaker audio system with rear controls and headphone jacks and, on 4WD models, a 3.73:1 axle ratio.
Tahoe LT ($6,450) is a package that adds the 5.3-liter engine, leather seating surfaces, six-way power front bucket seats with heat and memory, floor console, adjustable pedals, a third-row, 50/50 split bench seat, tri-zone automatic climate control, the Bose sound system, plus XM satellite radio, steering-wheel-mounted audio and driver-information controls, power heated outside mirrors with turn signals and ground illumination, OnStar, a Homelink universal transmitter for opening your garage door, a trailer hitch platform, seven-lead wiring connector, and external transmission oil cooler, various cargo-compartment accessories, and more.
Z71 ($5,215) is a premium package specially equipped for off-highway driving and is only available for 4WD models with the Vortec 5300 engine. Z71 includes an off-road suspension with gas shocks and off-road jounce bumpers; heavy-duty locking rear differential; 3.73 rear axle ratio; skid plates for the oil pan, differentials, and transfer case; high-capacity air cleaner; removable front air dam; tubular assist steps; painted front bumper; panted rear step bumper with pad; color-keyed grille and door handles; round fog lamps; roof rack with cross rails; dark gray lower rocker moldings; wheel flares; Trailer Package with heavy-duty hitch platform, seven-lead wiring connector and external transmission oil cooler; and P265/70R17 on/off-road tires on 17-inch cast and machined aluminum wheels. Z71 also includes many of the same comfort and convenience items as the LT: the Driver Information Center; Bose nine-speaker stereo with rear audio controls, dual headphone jacks, and steering-wheel controls, power heated mirrors with turn signals and ground illumination; OnStar; leather seating surfaces; power front bucket seats with heat and memory; adjustable head restraints; and an inboard armrest.
Chevy Tahoe is an attractive truck, though it doesn't stand out with its conservative and familiar styling. It is essentially a shortened version of the Chevy Suburban and shares much in common with it.
The Tahoe is the same width as the Suburban. The Tahoe is more than 22 inches shorter than the Suburban and nearly 9 inches shorter than the Ford Expedition. The Tahoe is nearly 11 inches shorter than the stretched, midsize Chevy TrailBlazer EXT (and about 5 inches longer than the standard TrailBlazer), but the Tahoe is 4 inches wider than the TrailBlazer EXT.
Big outside mirrors afford an excellent view rearward. The mirrors on LT and Z71 models feature puddle lamps that light up the perimeter. These are nice at night in the woods, or when stepping out on nasty nights in your city best, and they provide some security in underground garages and other spooky places. The mirrors also tilt down when you shift into reverse. Press a button and they fold in for parking in narrow places. Heating elements keep off frost and ice. Turn signals are integrated into the mirrors to warn drivers alongside of your intentions. The left mirror automatically dims to reduce headlamp glare. If that isn't enough, these wonder-mirrors remember his and hers adjustments, just like the seats.
Tahoe buyers can select either a traditional rear hatch with a flip-up window, or split-panel doors, sometimes called barn doors or cargo doors. Choosing between them is a matter of lifestyle and personal preference. On the LS, cargo doors are standard, and the hatch a $250 option. On the LT, the hatch is standard. Cargo doors are more convenient when towing and for other truck chores, and they make it easier to control a dog. The traditional hatch is made of aluminum for light weight; being able to open just the glass is often more convenient when loading groceries or outdoor gear, especially since it can be operated with the keyless remote. The rear hatch offers a better view out back than the split doors, which block the view in the center.
The Tahoe's door handles are well-designed and easy to use; you do not need to flip your hand over to pull on them.
Tahoe's interior was extensively revised for 2003, making it more comfortable, user-friendly, and attractive. New seats, a new center console, a new instrument panel, new HVAC controls, and refinement throughout resulted in an improved environment for driver and passengers.
There's plenty of headroom and legroom in the Tahoe. The front seats are big, wide and, in the LT, fully adjustable. Optional seat heaters are easy to turn on and adjust. Switchgear is nicely designed and easy to operate. The map lights can be aimed. Rubber lined cubbies on the center console offer places to organize odds and ends. The ashtray can be removed to reveal another nice cubby for sunglasses and stuff. Cup holders are well designed. Double visors with extenders keep the sun out of your eyes. Three power outlets in front and one in back deliver electricity for accessories. Visibility is very good through big windows, but we'd like the option of an electronic park-assist feature to help maneuver this big rig in tight quarters.
We appreciated the available power-adjustable pedals. Pressing a button moves the brake and accelerator pedals for an optimum driving position. This allows a shorter driver to move farther from the steering wheel where the airbag is located. The tilt steering could use finer adjustments, but by adjusting the height and tilt of the seat it's possible for drivers of all sizes to find a comfortable position. Steering wheel-mounted controls add convenience and enable the driver to personalize functions.
We love the LT's electronically controlled, automatic three-zone HVAC system for its sophistication and ease of use. Change the driver's temperature, for example, and a panel displays the new temperature for a few moments, then display's the passenger's temperature, then displays the driver's temperature again. It's easy to operate the controls with the big knobs and a clear LED display that's easy to understand. Rear electronic temperature controls improve comfort for second- and third-row passengers and pets.
The standard setup is a manual-control HVAC system with three zones that allows temperature differentials of 30 degrees between driver and passenger. It also works quite well. The third zone allows manual control of the rear air conditioning. The optional driver information center warns you when ice may be on the road.
Second-row seating in the Tahoe is quite comfortable. Second-row bucket seats ($490), an option on the LT, are less versatile than a bench seat, but more comfortable, more luxurious. Cup holders are close by no matter where you're sitting. A pair of map lights flanks each dome light on the second and third row, a great feature when traveling or accessing gear. The Tahoe provides slightly more cargo space behind the second row than the Ford Expedition does (63.6 cubic feet vs. 60.9 cubic feet).
Folding the second-row seats down provides enormous cargo capacity, 104.6 cubic feet of cargo space, a bit less than the Expedition's 110.5 cubic feet. Folding the second row down is easy. Headrests stay in place, convenient and safer because you can't forget to put them back on.
The Tahoe is comfortable with four or five passengers, but it can seat seven (and up to nine) with its optional third-row seat. However, getting in and out of the third row isn't easy, and once back there, it's uncomfortable for an adult. The seat height is low relative to your feet, sort of like sitting on the floor. So if you think you'll be using that third row on a daily basis, then step over to the other side of the showroom and take a look at the Suburban. The Suburban is more practical than the Tahoe for carrying six to nine people regularly. The Tahoe offers just 16.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, less than even the Expedition's paltry 20.6 cubic feet and far less than the Suburban's 45.7 cubic feet.
In terms of flexibi.
Driving Impression
The Chevrolet Tahoe rides smoothly on the open road, and it's stable and comfortable at higher speeds. Although big and ponderous, the Tahoe handles well for such a large vehicle.
The Tahoe is built on GM full-size truck platform (GMT 800, if you must know), which forms the basis for the Silverado and Sierra pickups as well as the Suburban, Yukon, and Yukon XL SUVs. It's a superb platform, notable for the rigidity of its hydroformed frame. Chassis rigidity is the key to achieving good handling and a smooth ride, and the Tahoe delivers on both of those scores. It handles bumpy roads well, a good test of chassis rigidity.
Tahoe's front suspension is conventional in design, except for the springs. To save space, the Tahoe uses torsion bars instead of coil springs. And the Tahoe now comes standard with the Premium Ride suspension, formerly an option, which uses self-leveling rear shocks to maintain trim height for better handling when hauling heavy cargo or pulling a trailer.
Our Tahoe LT had the optional Autoride suspension ($1,120), which electronically controls rear air shocks to provide real-time adjustments in suspension damping. It provided a comfortable ride on I-405, a bumpy, busy freeway in Los Angeles. Autoride also kept the Tahoe from bounding around after running over railroad tracks when pulling a trailer.
The available Z71 package, with its off-road suspension, provides a good ride quality on gravel and washboard surfaces.
The brakes were greatly improved for 2003, so they're smoother and easier to modulate than before. The brakes comprise four-wheel discs with dual-piston calipers for good stopping performance. We were impressed with the Tahoe's braking ability while towing a horse trailer. A dynamic proportioning system continuously balances the front and rear brakes for maximum effectiveness without activating the ABS. Once activated, the ABS allows the driver to maintain control of the steering in an emergency maneuver. For 2004, Tahoe introduces Hydroboost braking. Most power-brake systems rely on engine vacuum to reduce braking effort, but Hydroboost uses power-steering fluid pressure, which provides added safety, with more reserve power assist for braking under specific conditions. The system will continue to provide sufficient power assist to stop the vehicle even if the engine stalls or is turned off.
The Tahoe is relatively easy to park, much easier than a Suburban. It's 22 inches shorter than a Suburban and its 38.3-foot turning diameter is 4 feet tighter than the Suburban's turning circle. With its shorter wheelbase, shorter rear overhang and taller ground clearance, the Tahoe traverses gullies and other rugged terrain where the Suburban scrapes bottom. Likewise, the Tahoe is shorter and more maneuverable than the Ford Expedition. Even though the Tahoe is a fraction of an inch wider than the Expedition, I find it easier to judge the distance between the Tahoe's right front corner and a tree. The Expedition's fenders seem taller visually, and the Tahoe seems easier to manage off-road. The Tahoe's recirculating-ball steering provides good control and feedback, even if it falls short of the rack-and-pinion steering found on the Ford Explorer. Tahoe's power steering system is designed for durability by operating at a lower temperature range.
Chevy's small-block overhead-valve V8s are excellent. They rival Ford's overhead-cam engines for smoothness and efficiency, and deliver strong torque for towing. The standard 4.8-liter V8 cranks out 285 horsepower, while delivering decent fuel economy; a Tahoe 2WD with the Vortec 4800 earns 18 mpg on the EPA's highway mileage test.
A better choice, and the one most people choose, is the 5.3-liter engine rated at 295 horsepower. It delivers strong acceleration performance and burns regular unleaded fuel. Our 2004 Tahoe 4WD with the Vortec 5300 earned an EPA-estimated 13/17 mpg city/highway.
Chevrolet Tahoe is perfect for drivers who want a full-size sport-utility, but don't want to herd a Suburban every day.
