St. Valentine Comments
Click Here for St. Valentine Prayer's Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs in the persecution under Claudius II. He was apprehended, and sent by the emperor to the prefect of Rome, who, on finding all his promises to make him renounce his faith ineffectual, commanded him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14, about the year 270. Pope ... Continue Reading

Thank you Saint Valentine for your immediate help the other night, prompting contact from the one who I was hoping would lead to something lasting and good and true but that was last contact. I dont know what to think. Now enters a new possibility, and I dont want to hurt anyone but I'm tired of dates that lead to nowhere primarily because I know it's not right so I leave it alone. And the ex is around making me depressed because I tried so hard walked on eggshells for 5 years, jumped thru' eery hoop presented and he remained so mean behind closed doors. He's being nice now but his chances with me are long since used up and then some. I could never trust him again and he'll never change and that's fine for him as long as I stay far out of love with him. Saint Valentine please pray for me that THE best man for me and I the best woman for him, appears within DAYS, and if he's already in the picture or if he's not, I need us both to have a knowing feeling from the start or pretty soon thereafter, and that if it's J***, great but why didnt he call when he said or even text to give me a reason? Or if R**, I want God's will to be done and I'm trying to stop making up my mind because I need the Lord to do that for me, His will be done and be done now. (I come boldly in prayer as it says to do in the Bible.) Thank you ever so much Saint Valentine. I'm not even Catholic yet you heard my cry, I love you and the other saints. I should have been born Catholic right!? Bless anyone who reads this!!!!! You are in my prayers.

Do Election Statistics Add Up?
Dr Leonor Sierra is Science and Policy Manager at Sense About Science
With less than a day to go before the polling stations open, it's time to choose who wins our vote. For weeks we've heard politicians make claims and promises about crime, unemployment, cancer treatment and tax cuts using various statistics to back these up. But how can we work out what the figures are telling us? Statistics can be hyped and sensationalised but knowing a bit about them can give us a way to unpick arguments. Read More
Statistics in Parliament
Andrew Garratt is Manager for External Affairs and the Statistics User Community at the Royal Statistical Society.
On 22 February, representatives from the three main political parties set out their policies on official statistics at a public event hosted by the Royal Statistical Society.
In his opening remarks the Society President and chair of the event, David Hand, said that the regrettable lack of trust in official statistics did not reflect the quality of the figures being produced, but instead represented a combination of a number of things, including a lack of understanding of the complexities of official statistics; mistrust arising from the misuse of statistics, either deliberate or accidental; and a perceived difference between the ground truth as the public see things, and the overall published statistical summaries.

SET Statistics: progress since 1986?
Without fanfare the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) published this year's Science, Engineering and Technology Statistics. I am a big fan of SET stats as they give us the evidence on whether or not the government is making progress in science and engineering across a number of areas. There is too much data (7 sections covering expenditure on R&D, international comparisons and SET personnel) to do a comprehensive analysis so I will look at what changes have occured to research funding between 1986 (the year CaSE was founded as Save British Science) and 2007.

Phucktard Fred Phelps Hates Tim Russert, Too.
Sometimes, I see some things come across the wire that make me appreciate the repressive regimes of some third world countries. We have this wide expanse of Internet, despite certain governments' desire to clamp down on it, that remains a bastion of free speech and a place where unpopular and non-mainstream speech can be aired and heard without repercussion, for the most part. Unfortunately, that also means that retarded and idiotic speech must be given quarter, as well.

Santa Barbara promotes itself as the American Riviera, and it's easy to see why. This naturally blessed stretch of central California offers pastoral scenery, first-rate food and outstanding wine varietals, starting with its award-winning Pinot Noir. Known also for Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Riesling, Santa Barbara's wineries exude more of a warm and fuzzy 'mom-and-pop' feel than the big wineries in the Napa and Sonoma valleys. So, beware: Halfway through your visit, you may fantasize about moving here and opening a winery of your own.
Though Santa Barbara may seem to be among California's newer wine regions, in fact, the winery tradition goes back centuries. Father Junipero Serra, who established the missions up and down the coast of California, first brought grapevine cuttings here from Mexico in 1782.
By 1884, grape stock had been imported from France, and a 150-acre vineyard had been planted on Santa Cruz Island. When the area's first wines were shipped to San Francisco to be bottled, word got out that the region held enormous potential. However, not until the early 1960s were modern vineyards planted first in Santa Maria and later in the Santa Ynez Valley.
By the 1970s, Santa Barbara winemakers had mastered the technique of growing grapes in an area that is generally warm to hot by day but where fog and winds come in from the Pacific Ocean at night. It is this marine influence that keeps grape yields low yet quality high.
Wine-growing conditions vary considerably throughout Santa Barbara County, from the windswept Santa Rita Hills to the eastern Santa Ynez Valley, where temperatures soar in the summer. Today, more than 100 wineries produce wine in Santa Barbara County under three separate appellations Santa Maria Valley, Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Rita Hills and many of them welcome visitors for tastings and tours.
But there is more to do in the Santa Barbara wine country, which is about 45 minutes north of the city of Santa Barbara, than just winery touring. Smell the flowers at family-owned Clairmont Farm, where row after row of lavender paint the fields purple and perfume the air. Or go eye-to-eye with an ostrich at Ostrich Land, where the giant birds are raised.
If you feel the need to exercise after wining and dining, you can go horseback or bike riding, play golf at one of several public courses or take a bald-eagle-watching boat ride on Cachuma Lake
Highway 101 is the fastest route between the vineyards and Santa Barbara, a city of just less than 100,000 people and one of the prettiest in California. Highway 101 provides breathtaking ocean views in spots, but for a less-traveled scenic mountain route, consider Highway 154 instead. This winding mountain road climbs over rugged San Marcos Pass, providing a dramatic back-door route between wine country and the city.
The city of Santa Barbara, boasting a plethora of red-tile-roofed Spanish colonial-style buildings, offers a wide range of diversions, such as shopping, sightseeing, dining and hitting the beach.
Accommodations run the gamut, from luxurious ocean-view hotels to Victorian B&Bs, making the city a good spot to stay during your visit to Santa Barbara wine country.
Stroll along State Street, a seven-mile palm-tree-lined stretch of historic buildings, shops and restaurants that runs through the heart of town. Wander into the series of Moorish tiled arcades, especially El Paseo, an Old Spain warren of shops and courtyards with splashing fountains that was built in the 1920s. Nearby, Paseo Nuevo is a bigger and glitzier riff on the arcade theme, with familiar chain outlets and eateries as well as local shops.
Take a one-block detour to the Santa Barbara County Courthouse, an imposing Spanish-Moorish building. Decked in Tunisian tile, it boasts lush tropical gardens and an expansive lawn that
sometimes serves as a stage for outdoor concerts.
As for the courthouse jail, it's purported to be the most beautiful in the United States. Climb the steps of the 85-foot-high courthouse clock tower to the observation deck for a panoramic view of the ocean, the city and the Santa Ynez Mountains.
At the foot of State Street, Stearns Wharf juts out into the Pacific Ocean, separating the wide swath of white sandy beach into east, where volleyballers and swimmers rule, and west, which
abuts the marina. Here you can rent a kayak, join a whale-watching cruise or simply enjoy a cold drink and watch the sunset.
Note: Though Santa Barbara is on the California coast, it actually faces south. As a result, the best time of year to catch the sun sinking into the ocean (as opposed to dropping behind the coastline) is in the winter.
Stearns Wharf was built in 1872 for commercial fishing boats, but now it is host to several restaurants and outdoor eateries where you can sample fresh Santa Barbara shrimp or munch on fish and chips. Visiting the new Ty Warner Sea Center will round out your day at the wharf. This engaging, interactive marine-education facility was a gift to Santa Barbara from the inventor of Beanie Babies, who owns several Santa Barbara hotels. Kids love crawling through the tunnel inside a 1,500-gallon surge tank to view the life of the ocean.
A short drive from the city center is the Mission Santa Barbara. Known as the queen of the California missions, it was founded in 1786, the 10th mission founded by the Spanish Franciscans in what is now California. Its lush subtropical gardens and historic adobe buildings make it an enchanting and pleasantly serene spot.
Those with a serious interest in gardens
or grandiose estates of the rich and somewhat famous will want to take a side trip to Lotusland
in nearby Montecito, an enclave of walled estates
with ocean views just south of Santa Barbara. Created by Madame Ganna Walska, a much-married European actress and opera singer who
lived in the elaborate Italianate mansion for 43
years until her death in 1984, the 37-acre estate is a fantasyland of gardens from ferns and cacti
to aloe, succulents and water plants. For visitors to Santa Barbara wine country, this remarkable attraction may be as memorable as the wine.

|The FE-I4 chip for the B-layer upgrade is designed in a 130 nm CMOS process. For this design, configuration memories are based on the DICE latches where layout considerations are followed to improve the tolerance to SEU. Tests have shown that DICE latches where layout approaches are adopted are 30 times more tolerant to SEU than the standard DICE latches. For the future pixel readout design, a prototype chip containing 512 pixels is implemented in a 65 nm CMOS process. SEU tolerant latches are implemented for the pixel configuration and the SEU tolerance is under test and evaluation.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
"A True Sport SUV" by New Saab Club Member on 10/01/2007. Trim: 2005 Saab 9-7X Arc, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Unique style, handles like a modest sports car with the space of an SUV. Powerful engine that gives you a low rumble upon starting; to go along with a cloud like ride. This vehicle is a real sleeper in the market place, I feel like I'm the only one who has one and I love it. Gas is standerd for an SUV, I get 16 & about 20 hwy. I just depends on the type of driver you are.
Cons: Console buttons similar to other GMC vehicles, should have been more Saab
Overall review: All the expert reviews putting the style down because it resembles a GMC Envoy etc. don't know what they are talking about. I have driven other GMC suv and they don't come close. Reliability, style, power, and amenities; this is the best buy for the money especially if you buy pre-owned. So if you are a follower, this is not the vehicle for you but if you dare to be different, enjoy the ride.
Review ID: #517037 Is this review offensive?
Awesome under-rated SUV by N8 from Minneapolis on 03/18/2013. Trim: 2005 Saab 9-7X Arc, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: The styling is great and due to Saab's departure from the market these vehicles are very undervalued in the used market. For just over $10,000 you can own a very nice used example and it will be a long lasting reliable vehicle as it is based on GMs proven GMT360 platform. Replacement parts are generally interchangeable between this vehicle and other GMT360s making maintenance quite easy and inexpensive compared to other comparable European sports SUVs. This is easily a $25,000 vehicle selling for $10,000. I can't get over how quiet this car is on the road and the V-8 provides ample passing and towing power.
Cons: Not much other than the common faults in the GMT360 platform. It's somewhat jouncy, the lumbar controls are run by plastic gears that tend to break, and the radio/hvac buttons are the cheap standard GM fare. Fuel economy is sub-par. We get about 13-14 mpgs int he winter with mostly city driving. I don't know that you can expect much better from other V-8 SUVs that have the towing capabilities of the Saab 9-7x though so it may not be all that bad. On the highway I can get close to 20 MPGs though.
Overall review: I'd highly recommend this vehicle for anyone who is in the market for an AWD sport utility vehicle. Despite being 8 years old, they still look quite modern with very understated european design cues. The V-8 sounds great, there is a lot of room, the ride is excellent, road noise is nearly non-existant, and these vehicles are rare so you'll have something unique that gets frequent comments. I'll say it again there isn't anything in the used car market that comes remotely close to offering the value/dollar that the 9-7x does. It is and remains a highly under-valued reliable vehicle in the used car market.
Review ID: #570976 Is this review offensive?
satisfied by SD on 02/03/2006. Trim: 2005 Saab 9-7X Linear, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Roomy, fun to drive. You don't have all these "add-on" option packages that jack up the price. It comes well equipped standard. The ride is firm & very quiet on most road conditions. Radio plays great! Kids love the rear sear air & radio controls.
Cons: Looks exactly like the Buick Rainier from the side & back. Flimsy in-dash cup holder is fun to show the kids, but wouldnt actully try to put a cup in it. Seems to get a little clumsy on rough roads.
Overall review: Classy interior appointments & many standard features make this SUV an excellent value for the price. My last SUV had much less for almost the same price.
Review ID: #486315 Is this review offensive?
Luxury at a Lower Price by An MSN Autos Consumer on 11/15/2005. Trim: 2005 Saab 9-7X Linear, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Luxury vehicle with comparable features but better pricing compared to vehicles with similar amenities.
Cons: The radio antenna is the screw on type that protrudes from the passenger side, front hood.
Overall review: Luxury vehicle with comparable features but better pricing compared to vehicles with similar amenities.
Review ID: #481663 Is this review offensive?
Great purchase! by An MSN Autos Consumer on 11/07/2005. Trim: 2005 Saab 9-7X Linear, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Love the look, we're the first I've seen in our area to have one. Very pleased overall so far... Has a luxurious feel to the interior, you don't feel like you're in a tank, but you also feel very safe and secure. I don't feel like it looks much like the Trailblazer, no matter how it is being compared. This is a SAAB, and I absolutely love it! LOTS of room, smooth drive, love this SUV.
Cons: Gas mileage could be better, but it truly is average among the competitors
Overall review: Very happy we purchased this SUV. Would recommend to others.

Heat grill to high. Toss together watermelon, cucumber, jalapeno, basil, fish sauce, coriander, and lime juice in a bowl.
Drizzle pork cutlets with olive oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Grill until grill marks appear and pork is cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Top pork with watermelon salad.
The salad is fresh and light with the perfect amount of heat. The slices of jalapeno make them easy to avoid if you want less spicy, but the oils from the jalapeno still give a pleasant amount of heat to the rest of the salad. I used half the amount of fish sauce because I was, quite frankly, afraid of it. :) It turned out great.Reply

Important Notice: WonderCafe has Closed
The United Church has sadly come to the decision that WonderCafe needed to close and all new discussion ended June 2014. Read More...
I am curious if others have noted that some individuals could be spotted as entering a manic episode by their increased participation in church activities, and desire to go into ministry or to be called to mission work. With their behaviour shifts, they lose jobs, which in turn is a sign that well, they are called to the church, as the job wasn't right for them. With everything else, they end up sleep deprived, it just gets worse.
Now: I don't want anyone to think that those who are called, are therefore manic, far from it. (Thank goodness for discernment process)
Having a mother that is bipolar I know the turf. She was always somewhat religious. It got to be, I can say it because it is my mom, the word is fanatical. This was both when she was manic (feeling divine) and depressed (that God could lift her from the depths). The manic episodes were definitely more fanatical. She would be up all night.
I am sure there are those who have their manic episodes fueled by the
24-7 availability and religious nature of this site. I know if were around a few decades ago my mom would have stayed up through many a night searching out places to post.
Good observation Pinga.
I would imagine that the online world is more of a magnet for different types of people
I use to run a GLBT BBS before the internet was popular. It seemed to me that the members who were online the most were those who enjoyed fighting. Often people were fighting in cyberspace what they needed to fight in the`'real' world, but were unable to do so for some reason.
Lack of safety or lack of partners to fight with, are both things that cyberspace fixes.
This was given to me, by someone who desires to remain anonymous on the thread.
A person dear to them suffered a psychotic break. It occurred a number of years ago. Let's call him "Joe". Joe went from an agnostic to a bible reading religious person in less than 3 months.
Included in the psychosis were his seeing religious signs warning that the family was in danger. He mixed these signs up with local events that were happening in the news at the time, determining that there were people out to get them. There was a family history of this illness, and although the other relative was harmless, Joe was not. The family felt that Joe could harm them and was a threat. It was quite scary for all. (understated)
It is unclear if the site would have fuelled Joe's fire or perhaps soothed it. It is probable the former not because of what is said in the threads but because such people are simply not rational. They see innocent things and warp them into their perception of reality.
The way the BBS was setup members would chat, like on msn, and some would use the forums which were like wondercafe.
People never felt safe talking about serious and personel issues in the forums. The fights we had on the forums made wondercafe look like a picnic. I remember one fight over Kneeu(sp) Reeves in particular that led to one user leaving. After that I put most of my focus on the live chat rooms. The BBS was an experiment in community building, and we gave everyone 30 minutes free time everyday, and 60 minutes for low income people, while those who were disabled or housebound had 3 hours of frree time. After that I paid for the system with a $2 an hour fee, to pay for the BBS and the 16 phone lines.
The chat feature was a great sucess in bringing people together and breaking isolation.
We had 2000 members, and in Ottawa at that time it was the best to meet people in the GLBT community. A large number were people living with AIDs, and the large number of deaths in the community lead to some really interesting discusions around God, death, meaning, and purpose. I started it after stoping work due to illness and it gave me something to do on the days that I was well.
Nothing is so bad in the world that it can not be made worse by being alone
I'm bipolar and went through a two-year religious phase in late high school. Pentecostal, no less! Go big or go home. I got through it and going to university and hooking up with a less evangelical crowd really helped me.
I'm not sure if I feel as though I was more vulnerable to feeling any sort of religious mania (I should say that my mania is actually hypomania, sans delusions, as I'm classified as bipolar II) but I do know I was pretty caught up in the enthusiasm.
I think that manic episodes come in every facet of life not just religion. A person can get caught up in their job so much their family suffers and vise versa or even a hobby. Did you see that one woman on Dr. Phil who was spending so much money on tap dancing that she did not pay her mortgage and was losing her house?
Gosh pinga
You're making me THINK. Ouch! This is certainly an interesting topic and one I had never thought about. I'll stay tuned.....
Understatement: The net has advantages and disadvantages. In the years ahead we will be hearing more and more about its effects in the area of mental health. Its such a phenomenon I suspect many of us can't fully grasp the magnitude of communication it has brought to the world for good or ill. It moves so fast or "we do" while we're using it. I took a peek at live chats. People are pressured to respond quickly with no time to think. I wasn't surprised to find people going a little crazy.
At one time I did explore the effects of electricity on the brain; rather a complicated study. Some people are hyper senstive to electricity and get charged up so to speak; wide awake. There is also something new to science (I believe) called 'dirty electricity'.
As an aside, my sister teaches computer to groups of seniors. She tells me stories of people in their 80's staying up half the night teaching themselves to type on Word. They are just so enthusiastic and happy to learn something new. They forget to go to bed....LOL.
Serena: Good observation. I've been watching Dr. Phil and Oprah lately.
my 2 cents worth
I have a friend with bipolar that hasn't been hospitalized since her baby 2 (now 6) and she's hanging in there thanks to excellent medical management. When she was in her manic phase she wasn't particuarly violent or religious, just very verbally hyper and never on topic. Not fun to see a brain running away from itself on hyperdrive. She's pretty consistantly unitarian in her beliefs and pretty even-handed about it too.

I didn't read all the articles, but I did read the following one which I found interesting, probably because I agreed with it ;-o
As one who has manic-depression, I can say that the shifts in my moods do not and never have play a role in my religioisty. I am very involved in my church wether I am manic state or depressed state. I know that God is with me and loves me in either state I am in. I believe that God is bigger than the illness. I am now on a very good drug that controls my swings for the most part, and now I can focus even more on my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is worthy of my absolute adoration and praise. To Jesus belongs all the glory. I thank Him for saving my life.
Living in His Light since 2001,
Please note, that I used the phrase "some", intentionally in the original post.
I do not want anyone to think that all exhibit this trait; however, I was hoping to hear from others, who may have real-life examples of such connections.
Reason: I have read it in general interest reading on manic episodes, and have some sense of having encountered it, but, wasn't sure, if others had seemed same patterns.
In addition, I was curious, for those who have encountered the same presentation, how it impacts forum posting
For those who do have personal experience, even where your religious/faith would be not altered; how do you think your forum participation might be affected?
in my work on the psychiatry floor as a nurse, i would have to say that the overwhelming majority of manic episodes were religion based.
it wasn't unusual for the people down in the psych intensive care to be under the delusion that jesus was telling them that we were trying to take their bibles away.
When my mom was insitutionalized, there were three Jesuses. The nurses tried to make sure they were never together. One claimed we stole his Bible and he could prove it because it had his name in it. My mom carried a suitcase with a blood pressure cuff, about 1,000 post-it notes and a Bible everywhere she went. She talked to everyone she saw about the dangers of high blood pressure and living without Jesus.
She has been managed well with medications, but so many others are not or do not take their medications.
i'll never forget the woman who used to ride the bus with me in the mornings... when she was quiet, she'd have this glassy stare. when the glassy stare disappeared, she'd become more chatty. eventually, her chats would become louder and louder until nobody would talk to her, and then she'd begin loudly preaching at the front of the bus...
on and on she would go. this would go on for about a week, and then she'd be gone for a couple of months, and when she'd return, she'd have that glassy eyed look to her again. and the cycle just repeated itself, over and over.
I can understand why people would turn to the church and this forum in times of crises. Both offer support and an acceptance of certain behaviours. In that article I cited above the author spoke in part about this.
The church accepts testimonials of personal experiences with God and or Jesus, indeed some churches strongly encourage them. For some one entering a manic state this can be very comforting. It helps explain their inner turmoil. For some it may be enough to calm them. For others, as the crisis heightens they grab onto that source of comfort and chase it until it is no longer rational or comforting.
I am not suggesting that people who believe they have a personal encounter with the divine are delusional or manic. I have met people who I believe are, and were, completely rational when they experienced this encounter.
But just as I can watch the news and feel drawn to a story, the person suffering delusions (and I include schizophrenia here as well as manic) will not only be drawn they will feel they are actually living it.
Fear is the over riding issue for someone who is delusional. In their minds, mixed in with all the other stuff, they know what they are feeling is not right. They just can't pin point what. They can't sleep because they are afraid something will happen once they close their eyes.
They begin to roam. Running from their fears. Looking for distractions from the chaos in their minds. The 24/7 access of the Internet can offer that distraction.
Does it help? I think for some it might, but for others it doesn't really matter because if it wasn't the internet it would be the all night donut shop or late night television.

text: Vienna, winter 2026. A place filled with post-millennial excess: pollution, neo-Nazis, designer drugs, holographic TV, and ultra-intelligent environments. When a commodities broker named Leo Detmers winds up dead -- the victim of a seemingly random traffic accident -- his pregnant widow, Petra, turns to a tabloid columnist named Sharkey to look into what she believes was a calculated murder. But just who was Leo Detmers and who would want him dead? Beginning with a graffiti message on the wall of Leo's apartment, Sharkey peels back the layers of Leo's life and death, each revealing a larger, more chilling design. As he attempts to link puzzling coincidences and perilous secrets, Sharkey soon realizes he's in over his head, party to a conspiracy with roots in Vienna's dark past that could change the world forever.

In the early '80s, Automotive Performance Systems-a company we know today as Neuspeed-modified a VW Rabbit and made history. Volkswagen was still trying to convince an air-cooled-Bug-loving public that its water-cooled technology was the future. This Rabbit traced a big, smoky burnout across the pages of Road & Track magazine, which coined the term Thunder Bunny. That's when the water-cooled VW tuning scene took off in the United States.
In many ways, the Thunder Bunny started the sport compact craze. Neuspeed's work was the enthusiast's first taste of import performance. Companies like Techtonics and Autotech also became pillars of the scene, pushing performance envelopes even further. And they're still doing so today.
The Thunder Bunny has been reborn for 2007, based on the new Rabbit with its 2.5-liter in-line five-cylinder engine and five-speed manual transmission. Keeping with the original's history, the Candy White exterior (a hue favored by design purists) has been preserved and reflects the new vehicle's sharp, distinct lines. Over this glossy white paintwork there's a silver topographical shadowing effect, to be interpreted as the aerodynamic cascade as air flows over the car. The bunnies-gone-wild theme is expressed in design elements throughout, from the floor mats to aluminum shift knob to engine cover. Even the rear emblem is cast in a 'rabid rabbit' design.
A stock 2.5-liter VW engine produces a maximum of 150 bhp at 5000 rpm and 170 lb-ft of torque at 3750 rpm-not bad for an economy car. But hardly impressive for a performance-oriented project. To rectify this, Neuspeed's stage one turbo upgrade kit has been attached. It consists of a new exhaust manifold, Garrett GT28-series ball-bearing turbocharger, larger injectors, a new mass airflow sensor, Neuspeed software, and a front-mount intercooler. Neuspeed's 70mm stainless steel cat-back exhaust system puts the thunder in this bunny, exuding an extremely un-rabbit-like growl from its twin 100mm tips at full throttle. The exhaust and turbo set-up produces boost levels of 6 to7 psi and increases output to 225 bhp at a loftier 5200 rpm, and 260 lb-ft of peak torque at 3500 rpm. The engine is also equipped with Neuspeed's large-capacity baffled oil pan, which provides optimal flow and engine oil cooling while preventing starvation during high-g turns and heavy braking-a must for racing.
To balance this extra power, the front binders are replaced with a set of 12.9-inch, two-piece, floating cross-drilled rotors clamped by Brembo four-pot calipers in a pearl white finish with custom-painted Candy White, um, hopping bunnies. The rears were updated with OEM MkV R32 calipers (also adorned with rabbits) and 12.2-inch drilled rotors. Neuspeed stainless steel brake lines feed in the fluid.
Inside the cockpit, a Neuspeed short shift kit gives a 40 percent reduction in gear throw and complements the custom shift knob. The cabin is completely redone in a new 'urban edge' design where all the stock black cloth is swapped for luxurious black leather. Light gray French stitching outlines the leather sport-bolstered seats, highlights the three-spoke flat-bottom GTI sport steering wheel, and accents black leather door panels. The seats' central inserts have been redone in a black-and-silver checkered flag design. The same design, albeit on a smaller scale, is carried throughout the interior with beltline trim formed from silver carbon fiber, custom-designed by OSIR.

When diamonds are created deep within Earth at extreme pressures and conditions, natural flaws are inevitable by-products of the formation process. As a result of Mother Nature's actions, the type and number of flaws present in a diamond can vary from one stone to another.
In diamond grading, the characteristics of the flaws are categorized into blemishes (external flaws like scratches and chips) and inclusions (internal flaws like pinpoints and crystals). Collectively, they are classified together under a single terminology called clarity characteristics. Obviously, the lesser amount of flaws a gemstone has, the higher the clarity grade and value it possesses.
Interestingly, a diamond's clarity characteristics works in a similar fashion like our fingerprints do. No two stones are exactly the same and the location of the inclusions can help identify one against another. Typically, a lab report would include a plot that indicates the locations and types of inclusions found in the diamond. An example of this is shown in the circled diagram below.
Typically, You Will See Full Reports For Diamonds Larger than 1.00 Carats.
Dossier Reports Are Typically Used For Diamonds Smaller Than 1.00 Carats.
The grading process involves a skilled gemologist examining the diamond under a 10X powered microscope. A flawless diamond is one that doesn't have any external blemishes or inclusions and is abbreviated as FL. The lowest clarity grade represents a severely included diamond with huge eye visible flaws and is abbreviated as I3.
Generally speaking, diamonds with VS2 grades or better are usually eye-clean (inclusions cannot be seen without the aid of a loupe). Stones within the SI1 and SI2 ranges may be eye clean and offer good value for money. However, each individual diamond in the SI ranges must be judged separately and eye cleanliness is subjective to an individual's eyesight and the kinds of inclusions present.
I usually don't recommend stones below I1 clarity grades as they usually have inclusions that can be seen with the naked eye and may also pose durability issues.
Here's a technical breakdown of the individual grades found in the GIA grading system. Be sure to click the links for a more detailed look into each rating and understand how the various grades look like with real-life photographic examples.
– FL (Flawless) – No inclusions or visible blemishes under 10× magnification.
– IF (Internally Flawless) (IF) – No inclusions. Minute blemishes are allowable (surface graining or details of polish) but barely visible to a skilled grader using 10× magnification
– VVS1 & VVS2 (Very, Very Slightly Included) – Inclusions are extremely hard to be detected using 10× magnification.
– VS1 & VS2 (Very Slightly Included) – Inclusions are fairly hard be detected using 10× magnification but generally do not impact the visual beauty of the diamond.
– SI1 & SI2 (Slightly Included) – Inclusions are easily noticeable using 10× magnification and they are sometimes visible to the naked eye.
– I1, I2, and I3 (Included) – Inclusions are very obvious using 10× magnification. Besides potential durability issues, they can also adversely impact the diamond's transparency and brilliance.
Based on the amount and type of questions I receive frequently, many people have a hard time deciding on the clarity grade for their stone. Did you know that most people have misconceptions that a higher clarity grade would always result in a diamond that sparkles more?
Does the clarity of the stone really affects how brilliant or sparkly the stone is? For practical reasons, do people really need to buy an internally flawless gemstone that is free from any inclusions?
We'll reveal the answers to you on the next page. More importantly, read on to discover the best grades you should buy and the underlying reasons why…

People often talk about "staycations" these days. And if you are staying in Whiting this summer, there is definitely enough to do all summer long, from lying in the sun at Whihala Beach to listening to a symphony orchestra under the stars, to cheering at baseball games, to checking out the cars at Cruise Nights, to admiring art at gallery openings and dining at different restaurants and ice cream parlors.
But back in the 1890's and early 1900's, Whiting was the vacation spot for hunters and fishermen. There were hunting resorts near Lake and 119th streets and Egger's Park.
A few of the original buildings still exist today, across from Franklin School. These are the remnants of what's was known as Tim's Hunting Resort.
Charles Kreuter's Resort lay near Lake George and there were also preserves and camping places along Wolf Lake where hunters would seek out minks and foxes. Ambitious folks in the area actually made their living by selling frogs and fish and wild game.
Beautiful Berry Lake was famous for hunting and fishing. The Berry Lake Lodge was built by early Whitingite Henry Eggers. There exist photos of a Colonel Lamereaux and a Fred Weller, dressed in their dapper suits with bowler hats, relaxing on its shores in front of an early resort.
The Berry Lake area was also home to lots of huckleberries, raspberries and strawberries. Whether the lake received its name from its vast fields of wild berries, or was named for the Beary family who owned a hunting lodge there in the late 1890's, it was definitely a getaway spot for early settlers in the region.
I've been told that Berry Lake, which was shallow at best, was eventually drained for the Indiana Harbor Ship Canal.
Editor U.G. Swartz wrote that after 1860, deer in the area disappeared (although an entire family of them was spotted last month near Calumet College of St. Joseph). Swartz writes, "Whiting remained a community of hunters for nearly 40 years. . .with the supply of ducks and wild turkeys undiminished and apparently inexhaustible."
To show how plentiful game was back in those days, Swartz writes a story about Old Mrs. Henry Eggers' mother, who lived on Berry Lake. Evidently, she was trying to get her grandchildren to go to sleep but the quacking of the ducks outside was maddening.
So this determined grandma took her shotgun and went outside and, trying to at least scare the feathered fiends away, took a wild shot at them. According to Swartz, with that one shot, old Mrs. Eggers "brought down nine mallards."
Not too far away, near the 106th Street Bridge, it was written that the bridge keeper used to walk up and down the bridge with a shotgun and would manage to bag 15 to 20 ducks by the time he officially began work in the morning.
Today, if you're a careless driver, you could probably knock off an obnoxious goose or two at Whiting's Lakefront Park, but other wildlife is returning to the area, too. Hopefully, they'll only be "shot" with somebody's digital camera.

After 11 years at the helm of the Tarleton State women's basketball team, head coach Ronnie Hearne announced his retirement from coaching effective Aug. 31."I have loved every practice, the challenge of every game we've played and the challenge of each new season," Hearne said at Wednesday's news conference. "After saying that, I really don't know why I'm retiring, but it is time for someone to take my place."Hearne retires with a .671 winning percentage, the highest in Tarleton State history, and with the second most wins with a career record of 212-107. Hearne guided the TexAnns to six NCAA Division II regional Tournaments, the only six in program history. "I have been truly blessed to work at Tarleton State University," Hearne said. "I have had some great teams and some great players. It's like I got the cake when I got the job here and every day since then has been the icing."Before coaching at Tarleton, Hearne made 18 NAIA regional tournament appearances and compiled a 419-207 record in charge of Cisco Junior College. The Tarleton State athletic department announced that assistant coach Misty Wilson will replace Hearne as lead of the program. Wilson has been with the program since the 2002-03 season and has been a part of 219 Tarleton State victories and all six regional appearances.

Now this was much tougher.
Over on the page to the left, I sat down with a pen and paper and compiled those five guys rather quickly without much competition from anyone else.
But when figuring out who the best post player I've personally seen play in the area that was taller than 6-foot-5, things were much more difficult.
In about 15 minutes, I wrote down upwards of 14 or 15 names but as I've done now for a third time, will keep the list down to five players, which is no easy task here.
Remember, these were players who were listed at least 6-foot-5 or taller, and the same rules apply as always. My vivid memory banks go back to about the 1990-91 season and it must be players I saw in person, which unfortunately eliminates Sandusky's Orlando Pace (1991-94) from the list because I saw him on television a couple of times, but that was it.
Off we go ...
5. Jake Meisler, Margaretta, 6-foot-6 (2001-04)
The Polar Bears certainly had a talented team in the 2003-04 season in claiming its lone SBC title in the past 45 years, but for myself and a lot of people, 'Big Jake' is often referred to as the biggest reason (literally) as to why Margaretta pieced it all together that season.
Meisler averaged 18.1 points and 12.3 rebounds per game as a senior and was named to the Division III All-Ohio second team. Blessed with great footwork for his size, I saw Meisler burn several teams by pounding it inside physically or by setting for mid-range jumpers around the paint.
Either way, it was often a long night for opponents in what became a special season in Castalia.
4. Chad Stein, St. Paul, 6-foot-5 (1994-97)
As strong as an ox and with brains like Stephen Hawking, that combination proved to be a beneficial one for both Stein and the Flyers.
A 1,237-point scorer, Stein averaged a double-double in points and rebounds over his final two seasons in a Flyer uniform in leading the team to a 46-6 record, two Firelands conference titles, two district titles and the school's only regional championship.
Stein had great talent around him like Kurt Beatty, Frank Van Dresser, Aaron Fries (see page 10) but make no mistake about it, those first two regional qualifier teams at St. Paul started and ended with Stein, who later became a state champion in the Division III discus throw in 1997.
3. Ryan Grose, Norwalk, 6-foot-6 (1993-1996)
Until a player with the last name Diebler that currently plays for Ohio State rolled through Upper Sandusky and the Northern Ohio League recently, Grose put together one of the finest statistical single seasons in NOL history during his 1995-96 senior year at Norwalk.
Grose averaged 22.6 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game for the 13-win Truckers while also connecting on 79.3 percent of his free throws. He was three rebounds shy of becoming the only player in NOL history to lead the league in all four categories in the pre-Jon Diebler era of the league.
A 1,011-point scorer for his career at Norwalk, what made Grose's sensational cap to his career more impressive was how he got there, as he had to rebound from breaking both his wrists as a freshman and three years later had earned a spot with Division I Wright State before transferring to Walsh College where he had a solid career.
Grose is currently in his fifth year as an assistant coach for the men's basketball team at Notre Dame College in Euclid.
2. Derek Fey, Willard, 6-foot-7 (1998-01)
Much like Stein, Fey had more than your average help with scoring sensation Nick Dials at point guard, but make no mistake about it, a huge reason for the resurgence of Willard basketball rested on the shoulders of Fey.
The Flashes qualified for the regional tournament in Fey's junior (2000) and senior (2001) seasons, and also in his senior season the Flashes advanced to the Division II state semifinals behind the strength of Fey's double-double points and rebounding averages and Dial's scoring.
What made Fey deadly was that he offered that rare combination of an inside-outside game and he could shoot from anywhere on the floor, as evidenced by a 3-pointer he hit against defending state champion Warrensville Heights in that state semifinal game that trimmed Willard's deficit to 65-64 with 90 seconds left of an eventual 69-64 loss.
His shooting continued at the next level as Fey hit 116 3-pointers as a player for St. Joseph's College in Indiana, good for seventh all-time in program history.
1. Erik Marschall, New London, 6-foot-7 (2002-05)
I may take some heat for this one because a popular argument against anyone who dominates the Firelands Conference is it must mean that said player accomplished his accolades against "weak competition."
Those people can have that argument, but I'm taking Marschall as my top choice for many reasons.
First, the Wildcats compiled a 57-8 record over his three years manning the middle with two conference championships; he was a three-time first team FC selection, including Player of the Year in his senior season.
As a junior, Marschall averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds in being named second team All-Ohio and as a senior scored 18 points and 12 rebounds per game to land first-team All-Ohio honors in Division III.
All of that was enough to land Marschall the rare area opportunity at a full-ride scholarship to Division I Bowling Green in the Mid-American Conference, where he started 22 games as a freshman before injuries derailed his past two seasons. He is getting back into the swing of things in averaging five points and four rebounds per game for the Falcons.
But what led me to this selection were the interviews I conducted with area coaches for the small vs. tall cover story. They talked about dominant post players having quick feet, the ability to get to the foul line, offensive rebound, create matchup problems, shoot the ball well, have a high field goal percentage, alter and block shots defensively, and on and on.
The more I thought about it, the more I knew everything those coaches described fit Erik Marschall perfectly.

Mic's approach to news is as unique as our generation. We're founded on a simple idea: Young people deserve a news destination that offers quality coverage tailored to them. Our generation will define the future. We are hungry for news that keeps us informed and helps us make sense of the world.
Too many media outlets overlook us or assume we only want to read fluff. But we know that young people are inquisitive. We know they believe substantive news can also spark interesting conversations. We know they have a healthy skepticism for conventional wisdom. Mic's editors and writers share those attributes with our readers. This sensibility informs everything we do.
In 2011, two longtime friends, Chris Altchek and Jake Horowitz, set out to build a news company for young people. After years of exchanging ideas with friends about the events and issues of the day, they realized that those perspectives were often left out of the media's narrative. Chris and Jake began cultivating a community of unique voices from around the globe. And from there, Mic was born.
After starting with three employees working from a Harlem apartment, Mic has built a rockstar team of editors, writers, and engineers. All of us believe that stories and information have the power to shape the world, especially when they challenge traditional narratives. Now, three years later, 19 million monthly readers rely on Mic to stay informed.
Our team is driven by the core belief that news organizations can do more to empower our generation. We're a passionate group of editors, techies, and product minds who are united in our commitment to disrupting the media as we know it.

Floor thickness question (2 Posts)
tileproowner April 19, 2012 @ 11:33 AM

Floor thickness questionI visited a new house under construction to bid on the wood flooring (2,000 s/f of wood). The heat system is hydronic, the tubes are buried in 5" of concrete on grade (insulated underneath the tubes) the slab is recessed 2" from other areas of the house and the builder wants to put 2 layers of plywood down and then install the wood flooring on top nailed down. I am concerned that he is flying by the seat of his pants and asked if this was addressed with a heating engineer. I would rather see the floor brought up to height with a cement product and the wood (engineered) installed on that. Do you have any thoughts on the thickness( 2") of the wood build up on top of the concrete. I have never see that kind of thickness on top of the tubes, also is the distance of the tubes to the surface (6"+) if the floor is built up with gype-crete or similar and the wood installed floating or glued going to lead to any problems?

I think you're going to run into some problemsFirst, good luck missing the tubing when you install all that wood. Second, a very poor transfer of heat. You're going to have to get a much hotter water temp to get the heat thru all that wood.
If you have to get the tile floors flush with the wood floors, a better way to go would be to install wood sleepers, to get you to the subfloor height, then lightweight gypcrete flush to the sleepers, nailing the finish floor to the sleepers.. Keep in mind your still increasing the slab thickness, and now the pipes are buried deeper.
Also, you (someone) has to make sure the floors done this way have seperate temperature controls.
Finally, how would you ever make a repair on this floor, or find a leak, if done the first way proposed.steve

NFL Football Betting Preview
Baltimore Ravens (3-0) at New England Patriots (2-1)
Sunday October 4th, 1:00PM Eastern
Betus.com betting line – New England -2.5, 44.5 O/U
AFC powerhouses collide this Sunday in Foxboro as the Baltimore Ravens take their 3-0 campaign to Gillette Stadium to battle the New England Patriots. Baltimore is on the verge of emerging as a top AFC contender while the Patriots have not appeared to be as dominant as predicted. The Patriots are focusing on getting the offense back on track and a win could place them right back on top the AFC if they can take down the Ravens this Sunday. The Ravens on the other hand have an offense that is playing better expected ranking 2nd in total yards thus far this season. However, the Ravens strength remains on defense which will be the guys who attempt to put a halt to Tom Brady and Patriots offense.
These two talented AFC teams have rarely met over the last few seasons with New England winning the last meeting 27-24 back in 2007. This will be just the 2nd meeting in the last 5 seasons, but will be among two of the heaviest favored teams to win the AFC Championship. New England is the leading favorite receiving +325 odds to win the AFC while Baltimore is the 3rd best favorite behind San Diego at +500 odds. However, the Ravens have already defeated the Chargers this season 31-26 and seek to slay another conference giant this week. The Ravens are averaging 430 yards per game behind Joe Flacco who is in just his 2nd year in the league.
A lot of the attention was taken away from Flacco in his impressive rookie season due to Matt Ryan's tremendous rookie campaign. However, Flacco is looking very strong in his sophomore type season completing 65% with 6 touchdowns and 2 picks. The Ravens passing offense led by their emerging quarterback is averaging 280 yards per game and is coming off a career high 342 yards in last week's 34-3 win over Cleveland. Derrick Mason got back on track last week catching 5 passes for 118 yards which will make the Ravens even tougher in the passing game if he can put up similar numbers to his 2008 crusade. The passing game now goes to take on a Patriots defense that is among just 3 teams this season to have not recorded a single interception.
Of course the Patriots defense has never been the side of the ball to get much attention considering their offense has dominated the league for some time with Brady behind center. However, the Patriots have not been very explosive averaging just 20 points per game and were held to just 9 points without scoring a single touchdown in their loss to the New York Jets. The Jets defense shut down the Patriots offense in that game and the offense has yet to have any type of explosive performance. If that continues, the Ravens defense is going to make it very tough to get back on the right track. Brady is posting the yardage averaging 290 per game, but the Patriots star quarterback has just 3 passing touchdowns all season.
WR Randy Moss is still being plenty productive catching 26 passes (most in NFL) and posting 281 yards in just 3 games. However, the Patriots offense has yet to get Wes Welker going with the offense. Welker actually led the team in receiving yards last season with 1165, but has just 93 through the first 3 games. If the offense can get Welker back to playing a bigger role, perhaps the entire passing game will be more effective. Still, the Patriots offense will have to overcome an extremely talented secondary led by Ed Reed who led the NFL last season with 9 interceptions and has 1 this season as well.
Pick – Ravens +2.5

HUD allows Arlington to build park
On Tuesday evening, the Planning Department held a meeting to accept public input on the possibility of converting the roughly 12 acres located at the northwest corner of Wesley Dr. and north Bowen Rd. into a neighborhood park. Over 60 citizens attended to listen to the proposals and provide feedback.
The meeting began with a brief history of the property. The land was previously occupied by apartments with a high crime rate. They were torn down using federal money. HUD wanted more multi-family housing, but the city negotiated single-family homes for low-income families instead. However, a sour market for new homes made development difficult. HUD then agreed to allow Arlington to build a neighborhood park provided there was community support.
Matt Young, assistant director of the Parks Department, described neighborhood park options and asked for input from the community concerning which features they most wanted.
Using comment cards, attendees indicated their support or opposition to a neighborhood park. Participants also had the opportunity to comment on the positives and negatives of the various options that were presented during the discussion. Each citizen was also given three colored dots that were to be placed next to the three amenities that they most preferred.
Funding for the park through a bond election would occur no earlier than 2017. However, with dollars from the city's gas fund, the city could take action sooner.
The cost of building a neighborhood park averages one million dollars with a parking lot adding several hundred-thousand dollars more. The initial plan by the Parks Department favors on on-street parking on Wesley Dr.
Currently, the city pays for mowing the vacant land. Additional maintenance costs would fall to the Parks Department if a park was created. Before the land can be developed as a park, the property will need to be cleaned up which represents a further cost.
Citizens are encouraged to leave their input on the city website. Public comment will be accepted through February 27. There may be a second public meeting in the near future.
Community leaders and a majority of those in attendance were excited by the possibly of this neighborhood park.

A lot has been written about HDR Photography in recent years. Many photographers have become quite prominent using HDR techniques. Having used Adobe Photoshop for quite a while, I became intrigued with using my old, trusted tool for High Dynamic Range photography. And since starting my exploration into HDR imaging, I've also incorporated Nik software into my processing work flow.
This definition from Wikipedia gives a brief overview of HDR or HDRI: "High dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wide dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight, and is often captured by way of a plurality of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter." For more information, please check out the full article or just go to the web and search for "HDR photography techniques" for more than enough information.
Some have mentioned that the ultimate HDR expressions are achieved with software specifically designed with a unique approach to digital imaging. That usually refers to specific tone mapping algorithms that have been developed to give an image a look that is not quite realistic. But, by using a more conservative approach, extremely realistic images can be produced; images that portray reality much better than straight, right out of the camera photos.
I have been using various techniques and have found that, despite what some purists say, very acceptable, well balanced HDR images can also be produced with only one raw image. It's almost like using a well exposed negative and using dodging and burning techniques in a darkroom – A reference to the old days.
I am currently shooting camera raw images with .5 to 1 f stop (ev) ranges between shots. I have used up to 9 images, 4 evenly spaced below normal exposure and 4 above with interesting results. But, the 3 shot technique that most photographers use, seems to work well also. For most of my work, I prefer using 5 or 7 images to get slightly smoother tonal variations.
This is a simple example of a 3 image, realistic High Dynamic Range photograph. Yes, the color is that intense. The HDR technique allowed me to maintain lots of shadow detail and left enough highlight and shadow to manipulate the final results for a well balanced image.
The image below was created with nine exposures at .5 ev increments from -2 to +2 ev. Notice the very smooth tonal presentation.

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY- Health officials report the receipt of additional shipments of novel H1N1 vaccine in St. Joseph County. A limited amount of the H1N1, Inactivated Vaccine (Flu Shot) and Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV) nasal spray has been received at the St. Joseph County Health Department and distributed within our local health care provider networks. Limited quantities will also be available through the Health Department at both the Mishawaka and South Bend locations while supplies last. Demand for the vaccine is greater than the supply received, however additional shipments are expected in the coming weeks.
The H1N1 flu shot is recommended for:
* Pregnant women,
* People who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months,
* Health care and emergency medical personnel,
* Anyone from 6 months through 24 years of age,
* Anyone from 25-64 years of age with certain chronic medical conditions or a weakened immune system.
The H1N1 Flu Mist is recommended for healthy, non-pregnant people who:
* Are from 2 through 24 years of age,
* Are from 25 through 49 years of age and
- Live with or care for infants younger than 6 months of age, or
- Are health care or emergency medical personnel.
Residents recommended to first receive the vaccine are advised to call their health care provider about vaccine availability, or contact the St. Joseph County Health Department locations listed below. H1N1 Influenza Vaccines from the Health Department are free of charge.

Children through 9 years of age should get two doses of vaccine, about a month apart. Additional vaccine will be available in increasing allotments in the upcoming weeks. As more vaccine becomes available, the St. Joseph County Health Department will continue to work with local providers and will be looking to host targeted community clinics to reach the vaccine priority groups. Vaccine is first being targeted to priority groups who are at higher risk of disease or complications, those who are likely to come in contact with novel H1N1, and those who could infect young infants. Efforts to vaccinate all residents will occur once there is enough vaccine available for everyone.
"We wish we had enough of the H1N1 flu vaccine to vaccinate every Hoosier," said Dr. Monroe, Indiana State Health Commissioner. "However, everyone should be getting their seasonal flu vaccine as soon as possible." The St. Joseph County is currently out of seasonal flu vaccine; however residents can call the United Way 211 for information on additional seasonal flu vaccine availability in St. Joseph County.
St. Joseph County Health officials also recommend individuals practice other measures that can help protect against the flu by following the three C's: Clean your hands often, Cover your cough and sneezes, and Contain germs by steering clear of others who are sick and staying home if you are sick. Health officials also encourage other healthy habits such as getting plenty of sleep, eating nutritious foods, and drinking plenty of fluids.
For more information about influenza and the vaccine please visit the Indiana State Department of Health website at www.in.gov/flu. The Department will also be offering a toll-free hotline for the public to call for information on the H1N1 flu and its vaccine at: 1-877-826-0011 or TTY 1-888-561-0044.

/sci/duck writes,
Could you outline the debate between empiricism and rationalism in terms simple enough for a scientist to understand? How is it possible to believe you can know something not mediated thru the senses? Is this just 2deep4me, or are philosophers really this stupid?Oh man, bro. Long-time readers know how I feel about this particular attitude. You are definitely over-committing yourself if you mean that everything we can know is mediated through the senses - I mean, mathematics? Logical tautologies? I don't need my eyes to know that 'all bros are bros' or that 1+1 = 2. Perhaps when you were writing your e-mail you felt smug; you didn't need your senses to know that you were feeling that way. You have what we call privileged access to your own mind. "Bro, you were wrong when you said you felt sad." That doesn't make sense at all.
So here's the broad rationalist position: we have knowledge, either in the form of intuitions or innate ideas, from which we can deduce true things without observation. We're pretty much all rationalists with respect to math and logic - no one insists that you gather the proper measurements to verify that addition works or that first order logic is complete. Sorry bro, but you can't just smash two numbers together in an accelerator and measure whether they add properly. By now we're mostly empiricists with respect to science - we certainly can't reason our way to gravity without watching some shit tumble. But what about all the middle ground?


text: After another grueling 5 1/2 hour meeting in NYC, both sides will head back to the drawing board next Tuesday. And it will be with more people. From the outside, it seems like talks are going well. This has got to be good news for players, owners and of course the fans. After Tuesday, both parties will go back to their respective parties and report back the news, good or bad. Owners plan to meet in Texas on Thursday while the union will be meeting in Las Vegas. Both union President, Derek Fisher of the Lakers and the owners representative will hope to have a better idea on whether or not they will have a full NBA season. Let's hope that that next Tuesday one new step will be taken forward and not two steps back.

Treleaven Wines Meritage 2007
A Treleaven Meritage 2007 produced and bottled by King Ferry Winery in King Ferry NY was exactly what was needed for the steak.
King Ferry Winery was founded in 1984. Peter Saltonstall is the head winemaker, and Tacie Saltonstall is the business manager. The winery now produces approximately 10,000 cases of wine per year. King Ferry owns 27 acres of vines near the winery, and purchases another 10 acres' worth of fruit from the North Fork of Long Island. The winery and tasting room is located on the East side of Cayuga Lake between Waterloo and Ithaca.
Winemakers notes:
A classic Bordeaux style blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon. Shades of garnet lead to aromas of newly oiled leather, clove, allspice & peppercorns. Solid characteristics with smoky tannins on the palate. 61% Cabernet Franc, 28% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon.
My notes:
Aroma's were all leather, maybe a little too much leather with some spice and a little cocoa.
Spicy but soft in the mouth with some fruit and berry and a nice dry and long finish.
The real leathery aroma's scared me a little, but the mouth feel and finish were excellent and was a perfect accompaniment for the grilled steak. Priced right at $20, it's not a wine to pass up on. If you're out grilling steaks or chicken give it try. The Treleaven Meritage 2007, very enjoyable.

I enjoy Meritage too! It's interesting that they allow Saint Macaire in the blend - a grape that is now long forgotten back in Bordeaux. Californian vineyards are a living museum for some older grape varieties brought over from France that have lost favour over there via phylloxera etc.
