Behind The Wheel Of The '04 Pontiac GTO
It was no accident that this new GTO hit the streets in 2004. Pontiac purists and the well-informed musclecar enthusiasts are quick to point out that 40 years ago John DeLorean and his team of Pontiac engineers stuffed a 389ci engine into a Tempest, called it the GTO, and unleashed the musclecar revolution.
The torque arm of life has made a complete rotation through the wheezy days of low-powered cars, and now we're right in the middle of another horsepower war. Perhaps the salvos are a bit more subdued this time around, but no less impressive. The other difference is the vehicle comes from Australia, where GM subsidiary Holden has been building these exciting LS1 V-8, six-speed, rear-wheel-drive lightning bolts for several years.
So it is that we find ourselves firmly entrenched between the seat bolsters, flicking off the traction control, and allowing the GTO to shove us comfortably back into the seat at wide-open throttle. Yes, in a way, it's a little like those days when a kid could own a '66 389 four-speed GTO in 1970. All he had to do was mortgage his soul to the bank for a few years. But it was worth it because it meant slammin' gears and cruising the boulevard sitting behind that distinctive GTO dash that just exuded class and power
It's clear this is a machine that's proud of its Pontiac heritage. The twin-snout grille and familiar GTO emblems don't let you forget. The 350hp LS1 has a distinctive rumble that announces that this newcomer is no poser. The all-alloy Gen III small-block is backed by the durable Tremec T-56 six-speed that adds the traditional feel bolstered with a couple of extra gears to make it more comfortable. Since the Aussies clearly like to turn corners, they bolted in an independent rear suspension (IRS) instead of a solid rear axle. The semi-trailing arm and coil spring rear suspension maintains a rather low profile until you drop the hammer hard with a spirited 1-2 gear change and then announces itself with the hammer blows of axle tramp.
The advantage of the IRS system takes place in more subtle ways in the middle of corners where it is much less likely to pitch the tail out in aggressive cornering maneuvers. Our overall impression is of an extremely well-balanced sedan that delivers on the original GTO performance promise. More importantly, it offers tremendous potential for performance upgrades that will guarantee an even stronger push in the back when you step on the loud pedal. We managed to squeeze a severely traction-limited14.0-at-102-mph pass out of our test car at LACR's 3,000-foot track. With decent traction, this car should run mid-13s easily. If the GTO has a fault, it is one consistent with Pontiac's heritage of obesity. The current GTO has a 3,725-pound curb weight-that means around 3,800 pounds in real life. With a driver, that's pushing 4,000 pounds.
Performance can be defined in several different ways. Today's definition must include handling, an excellent road feel, a hushed interior at 80 mph, and creature comforts including A/C, comfortable seats, and a solid sound system. The GTO's high-side bolster seats do a great job of maintaining your place even at the 0.80 g-factor side loads.
Unfortunately, these same bolsters prevent the seat from folding sufficiently forward to allow easy rear-seat access. A small button strategically placed by the upper seat latch allows the rear seat occupant to motor the seat forward enough to exit gracefully, and the same button can also be used to run the seat back as well-a nice touch. We tested the rear seat legroom, and with the recesses in the front seat backs, we were surprised at the sufficient rear seat legroom for a 6-footer.
The analog dash is refreshing with its red-tinted backdrop, 200-mph speedo and 7,000-rpm tach that redlines at 6,000. The digital readout is configurable just about any way you wish. The interior is splashed with brushed aluminum highlights including a set of pedals that helps keep your feet firmly connected. Our only other gripe with the GTO is a narrow foot box that precludes a far-left dead pedal, requiring us to twist our left foot past the clutch pedal to reach the floor.
As always, the T-56 is a pleasure to shift, limited only by that aggravating Skip-Shift 1-4 part-throttle sop to CAFE. The ratios are tight, and if you look in our included Details chart, you can see that the Fifth gear Overdrive is only 0.84, with Sixth a slightly deeper 0.57 compared to 0.50. This allows the LS1 to pull decent acceleration even at 40 mph in Fifth gear-a testament to the LS1's torque.
While everyone pines for the days of the '60s musclecars, the reality is that today is the best of times. This would include two GTOs-a return to high school days with a '64 four-speed cruiser for Sunday afternoon trips to the Dairy Queen and a brand-new GTO for the other six days of the week. This is the real deal-a no-bull GTO with the testosterone to back up its image. It is indeed the Gran Turismo.

Video: Kirk Cameron calls gays 'destructive to civilisation'
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
A twitterer named Tiffany Reisz nailed this one (so to speak):
Dear Kirk Cameron, If you have found homosexuality to be destructive, I have two words of advice for you–more lube. Love, Tiffany
Damn he could have been so cute as a gay!
Nothing wrong with him that a roll of gaffa tape couldn't fix.
The freek show Kirk and Baldwin proves again just how mental these religionists are. I think the pair of them are quite despicable creatures lacking in humanity and devoid of reason.
Homosexuality is not destructive, unnatural nor detrimental! Kirk Cameron's attitude is destructive, unnatural and detrimental!
His whole philospohy is screwed up!
How many wars has homosexuality caused?
How many wars has religion caused?
I rest my case.
Oh go and blow it out your @rse. Freak.
the majority of HIV deaths can be attributed to the catholic church and the abuse it reigns over the world.. (sex abuse of children creating broken adults, banning of condoms worldwide and so much more hatespeech hidden behind the words of the 'lord')
How much HIV has Harry Potter caused?
What is a homsexualist??? is that a word??
Nah, he's just drunk again. Just can't kick that bottle, he can't….
"How much HIV has the bible caused?"
"How much HIV has the bible caused?"
Because according to your sort AIDS and HIV are God's punishment to the 'immoral' so you Bible believers think your God did it. Nice God, by the way. Really forgiving, really loving, inflicting a killer disease not just on the 'immoral', by his judgement, but all those innocents who received contaminated blood transfusions. very thoughtful. And this God is meant to care for us all?
Same excuse by the holiest ones that are chosen; I hear that same stuff ranting about the coming of rapture; but LOOK!! We're still here!!!
Always have… Wonder how? We're BORN from the straight & narrow minded.
Billions, mostly due to the Catholics telling people not to use a condom.
Oh, bless – that has all the intellectual sophistication of 'Heads I win, tails you lose'. (Mind you, it's what we expect of you, Keith.)
Cameron certainly needs salvation – from his idiocy.
Kirk Cameron has a ministry, that ministry has a web page, that web page has a "donate" button. What he is doing is garnering attention on the off-chance of getting some plebs to donate to his cause. He is using the hatred model of business that the WBC uses. Without being a potty extremist, he would not get the oxygen of publicity that he needs to make money. This is all just a grift, and the proper response is to ignore him. He's a has-bean with a gossip-column problem and is better disregarded.
Ignore Kirk Cameron – consider Roman Catholics being told they have to condemn gay marriage on pain of all kinds of horrors – this from the inheritors of the Inquisition. Once again I recommend as an antidote, Keith Sharpe's 'The Gay Gospels' in which he surgically and wittily takes apart traditional Christian teaching about homosexuality – http://www.o-books.net or http://www.thegaygospels.com – read it – it'll cheer you up enormously.
Just because more people believe homosexuality is acceptable, doesn't make it any more acceptable. It's God's word. Homosexuality=Sin, Sin=Hell. It's doesn't get any more black and white than that. Only God's word matters. Our opinions don't. If God said it's wrong, and it's a sin. Then it's wrong and it's a sin. People have the choice to believe what they want. Unfortunately, if a person's views and lifestyles differ from God's plan, Eternity in Hell is the price they will pay.
You=religious nut
And intelligent people do not take the "word of god" from religions nuts with obvious mental health issues, sorry. Try a pharmacist, they can help you.
Only God's word matters.
Disagree. Now run along.
And which God are you talking about?? I'm sure its not my God…there is more than one religion you know. Silly person. And as for your 'Gods word' don't even get me started…Women turning to salt….men living in whales….talking snakes…..blah blah blah
Aaron…this is where your entire argument stumbles dramatically into a very deep and rocky abyss…other than in your over active imagination there is no god and never has been! Using your own logic – just because you believe in your particular brand of sky pixie does not make it true!
Your god is a bronze age fiction, created by nomadic tribesmen who could not explain why the sun rose. Your buy-bull is full of talking animals, women turned in to condiments, men living in fishes, satyrs, dragons, sea monsters and unicorns. In short it's tripe, nonsense, garbage. And you are falling for it because religion is a handy tool to extort the gullible and control the weak. So take your christo-babble and pound it.
As God and Hell don't exist your comments only go to expose your superstitious beliefs as backward and laughable – Your closeted sexual identity is not goin' to be satisfied by hating those people who have evolved and embraced their sexuality as decent and honest and open.
GOD= Nonexistant –
Hell= a place the church invented 400 yrs after the God fairy tales book was created – all because those high priests of hokum needed a scap goat to deflect from peoples endless questions about their absent deity.
Your god. Religion is a private matter.
you are a complete and utter brainwashed twit who is living in false hope please go see your doctor they can give some tablets for this delusinal sky god you believe in.
God never said anything about it. The only laws directly from God are the ten commandments. The rest came from men making laws to control other people.
Jesus did say 'love one another'. if everyone tried doing that, it would be a better world.
You really have to ignore Kirk Cameron, the man is a complete moron. This is the same person that believes "Crocoduck" is the proof evolution isn't real. Look it up, its up there with Keith and his "gays kill babies" lunacy. Actually, to say Kirk Cameron is a moron is an understatement and an insult to stupid people.
Let's not forget the sleepless nights Kirk claims atheists have over the banana!
How did Kirk Cameron get to be spokesman of anything? The man has a nursery school understanding of anything remotely scientific, and in conjunction with Stephen Balwin hanging on his every word creates a critical mass of stupid.
Maybe if he stuck one up his hole he might have a revalation.
Please. Have another drink Keith, the idea that I would debate with a drunk like you is simply laughable,
Drooling imbecile? You talking to yourself again, Keith?
No, but I would like Pink News to have a chat with your ISP in protest at your constant stream of hate speech. There is a good chance you are in violation of the terms and service of your provider.
But, dumb@ss, you have no RIGHT to a contract with an ISP. I'm sure if you were in breach, and there's a chance you would be, that they would laugh themselves cross-eyed if you tried to assert the UN convention on human rights. And – you pointless bag of sputum – most people on the planet with HIV are hetero.
"my freedom of speech is protected under the Un convention of human rights"
LOL! What are you, 5?
That's why we're on the wining side, and you're losing.
actually, I'm curious how this windbag concludes that HIV kills innocents since he claims that we're NOT innocent because we're abominations etc.
No need to be curious, FranklyBewildered. :D His explanations make no sense whatsoever and involve making up things and drawing idiotic conclusions. You'd get more sense out of a block of wood.
"I need an overhaul of the heart more than anyone."
Yeah, damn freaking right you do…..
Former actor and self-styled "Jesus freak" Stephen Baldwin …
Just 'freak' will do.
Wow. If this guy was spewing this garbage 2000 years ago I'd say fair enough. But in 2012?? And he's only 41?? You have to worry about his mind.
GO KIRK!! You said it correctly and exactly to the point!!!
Are you referring to Captain Kirk? Because, I mean, you couldn't be THAT stupid to agree with Kirk Cameron, I mean the man is a basket case fool.
Let me guess – You once opened up to a gay friend who turned down your pathetic sexual advances and the rejection has exposed your petty jealous personality for the stinky old bitch you truly are…. bless.
No need to be nasty JD, just pity these poor backward types. True, ignorance can be a choice, but people like Cinders probably had a head start.
I suspect the same. She's probably such a rancid bitch it would be like screwing crackling.
No, actually, I am a really nice person, I believe what I believe, you believe what you believe, enough said there. I chose not to be ugly, you all are choosing to be ugly, again, enough said there. I am not to be pitied because I agree with what Kirk Cameron said. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that is mine. The Lord Jesus came to save us from our sins, and I try to live my life according to HIS WILL. I am not perfect, nor will I ever be, but with these increasingly nasty comments, I do truly pray for your souls, because someday, we all will have to answer for how we lived our life down here on earth. I will have to answer for my sins, you will have to answer for yours. The Lord is a God of love, that he is, but He died on the cross to save us, a people of selfish nasty ways, because He loved us, regardless. If you are not saved, then you will not go to heaven, it is that plain and simple. I personally want to spend eternity with my Lord and Savior.
That plain and simple story existed for thousands of years before christians picked it up and ran with it so that it is really quite a challenge to refrain from deriding your beliefs.
But I am prepared to examine your hard evidence.
You're quite right Cindy, you are entitled to your opinion, just as we're entitled to point out how absurd your beliefs are. You needn't respond, you can just pray – and much good may it do you.
"No, actually, I am a really nice person"
I see you're a lair too.
you ARE ugly inside your mind.
Captain Kirk is a better role model. and that's saying something.
Deluded Judaeo-Helenic rubbish.
I am actually a really nice person, I just choose to live my live for the Lord, who died for me, to save me from my sins.
Oh no you're not!
A NICE person wouldn't come to a gay website to be abusive.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha – well we live our lives for our selves and thosde we love for our friends and the people in our community no matter what they do.
Given there is no Lord – yours is simply a wasted life –
Cindy: "I try to live my life according to HIS WILL."
Fair enough, but live YOUR life as you see fit and stop trying to stop others doing the same with THEIR lives. You're a Christian so you would be rather annoyed if someone from another religion spent all day trying to make you follow THEIR religion and going on and on about it, yes? I feel the same about you.
You might indeed be a 'nice person' but you need to understand that we can be different yet entitled to equal rights. No-one here seeks to remove your right to be a Christian, so stop trying to discriminate againts people just because they're not exactly like you. We're no better and no worse.
Yes Kirk, that's right – just go.
another utter outdated brainwashed fool get some help
Why don't you go and take a running jump off the end of Mr. Morgan's first name, Kirk Cameron!
Kirk did nothing wrong, he has a set of beliefs and standards that he holds dear and true to his heart, he believes what he believes in, and I happen to agree with him. In the Bible, it says that homosexuality is an abomination to the Lord, so what is it that you all dont get? He said it right, if you have those feelings, you dont have to act on them. We are all entitled to our opinions, and I agree with Kirk. He has his rights, just like you have your rights, and when the trumpet blows and our Lord and Savior comes to bring us home to him, I know I will be one of those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior and am saved. Am I perfect, absolutely not, but, like Kirk, if we decide to live our lives for the Lord, it is our right to do so. Not once did Kirk get angry or nasty, not like some of the posts I am seeing here.
Did Kirk get angry – no, nasty – arguably, stupid – utterly.
No free passes in this neck of the woods for dumbass homophobes.
The bible also says its okay to rape you Cindy. I assume you're okay with this?
What about the rights of a potentially gay son? Or are you just another dumbarse that think sexuality is a 'choice'?
'By their fruits ye shall know them'.
Yes is interesting to read the v rude comments that are written here.
It says a lot about the state of hearts.
Funny you should mention fruits… Kirk has an interesting theory about the banana he wanted to share with you.
Just don't mention the coconut.
…and your comment about your state of mind and reason.
You people are merely fixing your so called beliefs to a deity – because those superstitions are all laid out for you – no thought, no justification, no intelligence.
You cannot hope to orally abuse people and not expect us to retaliate, you backward, bigoted bitch!
Your psychopathic genocidal murderous god fiction isn't fit to lick my boots. Spare us your cowering in awe at your ridiculous boogeyman.
and in the 21st century people are sick of you brainwashed bastards still believing in a book of myths your outdated you jackass look beyond what you was taught and you will find this out you must be really weak if you dont
Keith has had a sex change!!!
A thumbs down from Keith perhaps?
Well done Kirk.
It is rare to hear the conservative and biblical perspective these days.
Thank you James.
So, your okay with your biblically ordained lower status Cindy and the god given right to rape you? Please explain.
Cindy, aka James, aka Keith, probably won't explain.
I do not have a biblically ordained lower status, and no one at all has the "right to rape me" as you so crudely commented. Seriously, I had no clue this was a "gay" site when I made my first comment, but maybe the Lord sent me to this site for a reason. I saw the interview on HLN this morning, googled it because I thought Kirk did a great job answering all the questions being thrown at him, and it led me here. I have "gay" friends, I dont judge them, they live their life how they want to live their life, I live mine according to how I think I should live mine. We are all entitled to our own opinion, this is mine. But notice, I am not being ugly, you all are. That tells me something.
Maybe your Lord sent you to this site so that you could be ridiculed, Cindy. After all, it can only make you even more smug and sanctimonious.
"I do not have a biblically ordained lower status, and no one at all has the "right to rape me" as you so crudely commented."
Really? Didn't bother to read it all, did you?
Then you do not know your bible. How about getting an education before you use that books as a means to back up your nasty little prejudices, you moron.
"I have "gay" friends, I dont judge them"
Then you're "gay friends" have poor taste in acquaintances. More fool them.
"But notice, I am not being ugly, you all are. That tells me something."
Tells me you don't know what you're talking about. And that tells ME something:- your and idiot with more prejudiced then smarts. How do you like being a bigot? Does it help to say you think god wants you to be a prejudiced idiot?
People like you Cindy make me sick.
yes, you ARE judging your gay friends. By regarding them as abominations, by saying they are not saved etc. You are putting yourself above them. you ARE judging.
But I doubt you can understand the distinction between your pontificating about the Bible and the REAL WORLD.
"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her." (Deuteronomy 25:11-12) – needless amputation of limbs for females.
"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean." (Leviticus 12:2)
"But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days." (Leviticus 12:5) – Uncleanliness of women (even more uncleanliness if giving birth to a woman).
"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." (I Corinthians 11:3)
"For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (I Corinthians 11:8-9) – Inferiority of women.
Now tell me how great you find you lovely religion now, luckily people have fought to change peoples perception of women away from what the bible says, we are only doing the same.
How marvelouslybrave of you to say such retrograde nonsense on a gay site. The reason its rare, is bcuase stupidity is no longer socially acceptable.
Not rare enough.
The buy-bull – the campfire tales of bronze age nomads who could not explain why the sun rose. Full of genocide, ethnic cleansing, butchery and ridiculous magical fairy tales. In short – it is cr@p.
You're right James. It is rare. Thankfully. Time to consign that old book to the archives, just like all the other religions which have been and gone.
when liberals and immorals are consumed by the fire of God, Those that choose the "narrow path" will be sitting ringside slupring our margarita's and warming our feet by their burning methane flames.
…coming from your mouths
Actually will use your "flapjack" billows to "blow" the flame[r]s as you obviously already do.
Please don't quit now, that was almost a coherent sentence.
LOL @ flapjack. I love this Brooksea guy, he's a bona fide basket case. What a hoot. So rare to get a real one these days….
He should meet Keith, a match made in heaven.
LOL! Playing with the medicine cabinet again, were we?
Yes, yes, of course you will be, all you illiberals will have such fun together.
*pats hand*
illiberals? are you illiterate too?
I think not. If you can write immorals as a plural noun I see no reason why I shouldn't write illiberals in the same way. However, I'd be most interested to know if someone so clearly literate as you could inform me otherwise.
Oh BTW, the plural of margarita is margaritas – you may not quite understand what a possessive apostrophe is yet, so I suggest you look it.
'Look it up' I meant.
AWESOME! the more negatives I get the better the post!! Where are you drag queens now?
Delusional as well as a learning difficulty! How unfortunate you are to be born with both conditions. Your god must hate you….
'AWESOME!' – what are you, 15?
Your god is a figment of imagination, fiction, BS, junk. Your prayers are like writing a letter to santa asking for a pony and you are nothing but a gullible and easily exploited mental child.
Will save your burning soul for last Valksy. Am starting my celestial firelog pile early I see.
You and all your kind will burn well. . .
WTF are you talking about? LMAO! Did they make a mistake with your meds today? Sheesh, the health service has a lot to answer for…. you should call your nurse.
You think that I will cower in fright at your boogeyman because you do? No, dear. I grew up and grew out of invisible friends. But go ahead, cower and grovel and piddle your pants in fright.
You and all your kind will burn well. .
My my, full of Christian Love, aren't you?
Actually more agape [between the ears] than Agape.
(Don't worry about it RH, you won't get it.)
Isn't alcohol forbidden in the bible?
Erm no, Joss – think of communion, or the marriage at Cana (turning water into wine)!
Why do the Armish say that it is?
I think there is a difference between wine and a Margarita. The bible says that drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of heaven. I don't think he'll be pleased when "the righteous" decide the apocalypse is a good time for a cocktail.
Actually I don't think the Amish do say that, Joss.
Yeah, but then the Bible doesn't say you can't use a food processor or BluRay player either.
is that a biblical promise??????
Kirk is the type of person that would kill his child as an abomination, if he could not get the child to change to being straight with the help of his mad religion. he cannot show where God ordaned marage as being between 1 man and 1 woman because it is not in the bible, unless he has an even more wako translation.
"Destructive, unnatural and detrimental" – sounds more like he's describing his religion.
More to the point…what is this idiot doing on CNN is the first place? And what about all those producers laps he sat on to get a job on TV?
I find it terrifying that people like him exist…especially as an actor?!
To use a good Aussie expression 'He is such a wanker' !!!!
I think you will find us English invented the word. (Probably to describe Australians)
Could go either way. But Aussies and English alike can surely agree that it applies to Kirk, baldwin and their collection of apoligists cluttering up the posts here?
It does not matter what a has been tv star turned christian wing nut thinks, the problem is that the republican party, which accounts for half of congress, shares those same views, and is working against the equal rights for gays, women and anyone else they don't agree with.
Baldwin has disliked Morgan ever since celebrity apprentice. The guy preaches bigotry drowning in hypocricy.
He was so stuck up himself on that show.
Baldwin failed to condem personal attacks against Morgan concerning his kids yet is happy to support a guy who would coomit child abuse in my eyes by not allowing his child to have a self identity that didnt meet his approval
Strange to see so many 'Kirk-supporters' posting on here. I really would hate to meet anyone who genuinely holds these views "close to their hearts" – dangerous individuals who are a threat to a tolerant and welcoming society.
These so-called 'Christians' seem to ignore the loving and unprejudiced message of Jesus Christ and instead focus on the scary, fire-and-brimstone damnation of the Old Testament.
How can anyone with an advanced mind actually take that vitriolic book at face value? And how can they conveniently ignore the more ludicrous orders from the OT (seafood anyone?) whilst being obsessed with the vague reference to homosexuality?
My mind boggles.
I suspect the people making the negative religious statements are American Evangelicals (read: fundamentalists/ extremists). They are not representative of the majority of people who identify as Christian, in the same way that the majority of Muslims are not represented by the minority of extremists/ terrorists. It's a case of the minority that shouts loudest (and most controversially) gets the most attention.
"Dangerous individuals who are a threat to a tolerant and welcoming society"
You say this, but you too are not tolerant of other people's beliefs.
We are tolerant of beliefs but not hate. If your belief is in hatred and intolerance, naturally we will not tolerate that.
HIV is highly disproportiante in the homosexualists community. You do understand disproportionte?
Bless. I suspect Valksy well understands what 'disproportionate' means but it looks as though you're having more than a little trouble with it.
The interview has put me in the unexpected and rather disturbing position of actually rather liking Piers Morgan (in this one instance anyway).
Ahha, I had much the same thought. How worrying when the likes of Morgan hold the moral high ground!
Well, as one Daily Mail commenter said" He has every right to voice his opinion."
I agree. Who the hell is this bloke anyway, and why is what he has to say of any importance whatsoever?
SO not news.
He is a no one has been from an 80's US piece of poop sitcom.
I can't even remember the sitcom. did it air in the UK?
No, what's the hell is a "disproportionte"? LOL! You're a clown.
I understand disproportionate. Brest cancer is disproportionate among women.
So what? That's the epidemiology of disease. Its irrelevant.
Do you understand disproportionate.
"as manifest by my continued presence here and on other places."
If you call hundreds of your comments deleted ad "Presence", sure. LOL!
How anyone using such a disgustingly graphic name can call anyone else out on any subject is beyond me.
Cancer is disproportionate in the west, shall we all move to africa?
I'll take my chances with cancer, but feel free to take my place, you might see the harm your beliefs actually do over there.
"So you seem to be in agreement that HIV is disproportionate amongst the homosexualists"
I'm only agreeing that you're a damaged drunk. That IS what you were implying, isn't it?
"You rally don't have a decent argument in you sunshine."
Oh, I do. I just don't expect someone who clearly demonstrates a psychotic illness and alcohol addiction to understand it.
In short, I don't debate with crazies – its pointless, until you are cured.
Besides, my intellect is above you. You stick to the poo you like to play with, its more your level.
Bye now!
Oh, no, not another Ted Haggard! What are they like.

I think Kirk and Baldwin make a lovely couple and wouldn't their children be gorgeous. These two has beens don't have careers anymore and never had substantial ones at that so now they run around blowing off their distorted views on Christianity. I would imagine God shuddering at their shameless behaviour and I doubt he is too happy with them spreading their hatred around. Remember boys you do have to face God one day and explain your behaviour. That will be tough.
Just a reminder, Kirk has the right to his opinion, still, in this country and he did not say he "hated" anyone, but decided as an adult with his own opinions to express them when asked about it and then stuck to his principles when pressured by those who disagree with him. He never said he hated anyone, but he does not have to agree with someone's lifestyle if he does not want to, that's what the word "freedom" means in this country. I'm sure he has a few friends, as I do that may be gay, but do all friends agree with everything each other does or says, no they don't. That does not mean hate in any sense of the word. It means disagreement. Just say'n
Kirk Cameron,
Saying homosexuality is destructive to civilization and not adding the recorded facts of straight men & women that have abandoned, raped & even killed the children they gave birth to, is still saying the same horror of the church…
And history is not yet all forgotten, as it keep rising up.
QUESTION Kirk: If you are a devote follower of God and the son, [why?] saying those things that Christ would never have said.

PATH service has resumed between Hoboken and 33rd Street after being briefly halted because of a track condition, officials said.
The disruption was among a number of snags Path trains encountered today, including debris on the track that sparked a one-hour break in service between Journal Square and 33rd Street and between Hoboken and the World Trade Center, officials said.
Service halted this morning at 9 a.m. when flooring from a sub-station located between Grove Street and Pavonia Avenue stations in Jersey City collapsed onto tracks, according to Port Authority spokesman Pasquale DiFulco.
No one was hurt and no trains were trapped, DiFulco said.

I saw this enthusiastic supporter's car in WCTC's parking lot recently.
college student in our household says many of the students there voted
for Obama in the primary just because they think he will win. They like
the idea of being on the winning side.
I can understand how "youth" would be attracted to a younger candidate--especially if that candidate is promising all kinds of change.
But who is going to pay for all that change?
The answer is our children. (We will all pay of course, but they will bear the brunt of it.)
According to a PEW Generation Next Survey from 2006 (page 14), 81% of 18 - 25 year olds rated "To get rich" as "[Their] generation's most important goals in life"
Citizens are promised their incomes will not be taxed if under
$50,000/year and families won't be taxed either, if their incomes are
under $70,000, Sen. Obama has said.
So if getting rich is that important to this age group, then picking a
candidate who will place such a huge tax burden on the young, singles,
married with no children, and rich does not make much sense to me.
I know I am asking a lot here. Sadly, many otherwise intelligent college students (and people of all ages) don't understand basic economics. We see it all the time in that they don't understand that using a credit card means they still have to pay for their purchases with cash later, or buying a home that is beyond their means, on a temporarily low interest rate, is a bad idea.
Hopefully after the parties' nomination process and the campaigns go into full swing, some of these questions will be addressed. I think the whole country could use an Economics 101 class!
Wow! Hillary Clinton pulled off Texas, Ohio, RI, check on the Clinton/Obama results for Tuesday's primary. Much like Mark Twain's quote, "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated", Sen. Hillary Clinton is not pulling out of the race as some hinted. This is certainly the election that defies the usual. Huckabee is officially out of the race; McCain wins the GOP nomination.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – In the two years since Christopher Houlihan last fired up the Jane Slaughter Hardenburgh organ at Samford University's Reid Chapel, he has amassed a sizable collection of accolades for his solo engagements, notably for his interpretations of French repertoire.
He chose one of those French composers, Charles-Marie Widor, to open his recital Sunday, immediately launching into the flamboyant style that is becoming his trademark, punctuated by a remarkable display of pedal work that would impress Fred Astaire.
Often playing at full throttle, he could overwhelm one moment and recede to reverent reflection the next. Technically, his playing was a bit untidy at times, especially in some of the trickier passages of the Widor and in J.S. Bach's Toccata, Adagio and Fugue, BWV 564.
Sunday, Oct. 27, Reid Chapel, Samford University
After Houlihan tested out the organ's chimes in Louis Vierne's showpiece, "Carillon de Westminster," the drama reached its high point in Liszt's Fantasy and Fugue on "Ad nos, ad salutarem undam."
If the chapel had rafters, they would have shaken. If any dust had settled in the pipes, it would have been cleared out. This rambling work requires vision to make it cohesive, and Houlihan had that in abundance, keeping the bombast under control while experimenting with a variety of sonic colors. A cipher – a misbehaving pipe that blares uncontrollably – stopped the proceedings briefly, but couldn't break the organists' concentration as he rode the waves of Liszt's fertile imagination.
A meticulous reading of Vierne's Scherzo from the Symphony No. 2, was the encore.

In the darkness of an early morning last week, Jean-Claude Lazare, a Newark cabbie, a Haitian with experience in living with disaster, got stuck waiting on a line for gasoline for his hack, his livelihood. The guy in front of him — white and mainland born — and the guy behind him — Hispanic with little English — lowered their shoulders and pushed Lazare's cab forward toward the distant pumps. A passing motorist saw opportunity in this vignette of kindness and jumped the line, provoking a blare of horns and a chorus of obscenities in at least three languages.
Darkness reveals.
The best and the worst.
Without lights, there is intimacy and caring. Like the score of relatives who came to live with Francis "Skip" Downey in Elizabeth, both to share what little heat and light might be available — and his 83rd birthday in a nearby restaurant that struggled to stay open for the occasion.
Without lights, there can be treachery — and worse. Like the burglary of a locally owned grocery store in Union, just blocks from Downey's house.
The problem is, the longer the darkness lasts, the more treachery will prevail. "This is only going to get worse," says psychotherapist Gary Borer of Fair Lawn. "Much worse."
Now, at the end of the first week of New Jersey's new apocalypse, utility companies report a million customers remain marooned in the darkness and the cold, without the power to turn on a television, without the power to control their own lives.
"This is so frustrating," says Eddie Del Castillo of Little Ferry, his family evicted by Sandy the storm. The scene doesn't look frustrating. He is in a playground with his wife, Joanna, and his two children, Benjamin, 2, and Miranda, 6 months. With Benjamin squirming and squealing between his father's knees, they shoot down a blue plastic slide.
"Yes, I am with my family," says the engineer. "Spending more time with them than I have in a long time. But I want to get back to work."
Besides, he says, "I had no idea how reliant we had become on electricity, especially with a baby. Bottle warmers. Wipe warmers. Food warmers. We spend most of our time during the day trying to find out how to get through the night."
Darkness is no longer simply the absence of light. It is the unnerving presence of another state, an unfamiliar place we could once — just days ago — shoo away with screens, large and small, that now perch useless and mocking on desks, on walls, or rest in our pockets.
"We are going through withdrawal," says Borer of the first major post-internet disaster. "And we're not going to like it."
Alexandra Mexia, 20, thought about the darkness as she walked with a friend through Warinanco Park, a haven from the new routine that stretches across parts of Elizabeth, Linden and Roselle. Walking, getting away from lightless, heatless home.
"We are still getting along, but it gets pretty edgy," says Mexia, a student at Union County College in Cranford. Especially now in towns with curfews. Odd how the darkness almost seems palpable. Driving in blackened streets, motorists often rest a foot on their brakes as if darkness itself were a barrier they might suddenly hit. Even in the familiarity of home, new walls suddenly seem to loom where none exist during the day.
"It's not so much darkness as fear of what is in front of you," says Cecilia Ojoawo of Toms River.
Ojoawo is blind, a teacher and counselor for the blind. But she was not born blind. "If you are newly blind, you have this feeling there is a big block of concrete in front of you and you will hit it. Once you get used to it, you become familiar with your surroundings, you know there is space in front of you and you are free."
Free. In some ways, the darkness has freed us. From routine and habit. From work. From the tyranny of the screen. From the clichés of life. Even from the extent of this disaster.
"There is only one way to deal with a disaster like this — and that is as a community," says Peter Dorfman of Clinton. "We don't have a choice. Look at the people lined up with gas cans — what an extraordinarily inefficient way to live. It just makes more sense to live as a community."
The software engineer called the aftermath of the storm — at least for those who only lost power and heat, not their houses — "a clarifying experience." He says he spent the week gathering friends and family to his darkened home, sharing meals, wine and conversation.
"There's nothing like candlelight to tell you who you want to be with. And who you don't."
Because darkness reveals. It reveals the strength of family ties. "We all sit around at night by candlelight and talk to each other — it's been fun," says Tiffany Moore of Roselle, 23, whose father, James, is pastor of a local Baptist church.
The darkness reveals opportunities to help. "I took neighborhood kids out for Halloween to places I knew were safe, to neighbors I knew," says Valencia Franklin, 18, of Newark.
Mike Skolek, 29, and his partner Jacquelene Adam, 27, of High Bridge, learned they could calm people on gas lines by buying candy and passing it out to angry motorists on Route 22. "We should take this as an opportunity to rediscover our connections to other people," says Skolek, a masseur. "We should choose love over fear."
The cold and the darkness also reveal what we don't want to see. "If family relationships are good, then the intimacy caused by the interruption in the routine is likely to strengthen those relationships," says Scott Roth of Cranbury, a psychologist specializing in family issues.
"But if there are problems, the storm will exaggerate them, make them worse."
There will be both births and divorces related to Sandy's savagery.
And more. Borer says a central tenet of psychology links aggressiveness to frustration of goals. In the storm's aftermath, people have simple but essential goals and compete with others to achieve them.
"That's why you see fist fights at gas stations, squabbles over food at emptied supermarkets," says Borer. So, yes, darkness can reveal opportunities for love. But, ultimately, warns Roth, the longer darkness persists, the colder it gets, the more people have to compete for scarce food and fuel, the greater the chance another reality of life will dominate our behavior.
"It's called self-preservation, and that's when it gets ugly."

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis plays jazz, and by jazz, he means America's music.
And when he says America's music, Marsalis means he's about to cover some serious ground.
The voice of Ken Burns' documentary, "Jazz" and the director of jazz at Lincoln Center in New York was at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park to close its 2012 Summer Concert Series.
Did Meijer Gardens save the best for last? Perhaps not the best, but surely one of the very best of the series of 25 shows.
Marsalis and his Quintet brought classic jazz to the gardens for 10 numbers over more than two hours.
A gorgeous evening, with the sun setting in the west to a nearly full moon rising in the east, greeted the sold-out audience at Meijer Gardens Amphitheater, fully packed with listeners in hats and sun glasses, heads bopping to the music.
"It feels like it's afternoon," said early in his show. "It's such a beautiful and wonderful place to play for you."
Wynton Marsalis, a walking repository of the history of American jazz, came prepared to walk the audience through a lot of that history with well-known standards such as Ray Noble's "Cherokee," an old timey tune with "The Tennessee Waltz," and several original tunes of his own.
4 stars of 4Wynton Marsalis and his Quintet
What: Meijer Gardens Summer Concert Series
Time on stage: 99 minutes, not including intermission
See it: Wynton Marsalis Quintet at the Detroit International Jazz Festival, 5 p.m. Saturday, Chase Main Stage, downtown Detroit. Free admission.
More info: Detroit International Jazz Festival online
Critics have faulted Marsalis for a lack of originality, an unwillingness to use his talents to usher in a new era in the history of jazz.
But Marsalis was among the first to recognize jazz had developed long enough that it was time to build a classic repertory, one that could win new listeners and rekindle old audiences alike, and he's thrown himself into the effort ever since.
The evening opened 10 minutes late with a gentle version of "All of Me," soft and sweet, with muted trumpet and brushes on drums, but it also included Marsalis' original tune, "Sailing," with a buoyant, Vince Guaraldi feel to it.
Marsalis, in a summer suit and peach-colored necktie, brought along sidemen worthy of the effort.
Wednesday's set featured old tunes in new clothes, "Caravan" with a funk groove and "C.C. Rider" as an old-time New Orleans march than a blues.
The soloists ready to exploit the contrasts even further. If Marsalis started slow, saxophonist Walter Blanding replied fast. Pianist Dan Nimmer managed to play duets all by himself, often alternating a melodic phrase in one hand with a reply in the other.
Marsalis, the man of many mutes, was matched by Blanding's opening his solo on "Number Eight" with modest honks and tongue slaps that resolved into discernible notes only after some time had passed.
"Walter Blanding doing something I've never heard done on the saxophone," Marsalis said afterward. I'd like to believe that's true.
The two horn players threw themselves into "First Time," a sassy effort to play faster and then faster yet again, more technical challenge than anything else.
Drummer Ali Jackson used sticks and brushes on drum heads and rims and shook a mad tambourine throughout the evening. Double bassist Carlos Henriquez's solos were melodic and varied.
Original tunes such as Marsalis' "Big, Fat Hen" showed off a tight ensemble working well together while "Doing Our Thing" was a vehicle for Nimmer to strut his stuff, with a generous nod to Dave Brubeck.
Hurricane Isaac and its effects on New Orleans was on many people's minds. In reply to a shouted question, Marsalis said, "It's not as bad as it was seven years ago. We're okay."

A research scientist is a scientist who works primarily with gathering knowledge and understanding research. While many scientists are employed in applied scientific fields that involve development and design work, a research scientist typically can be found in academic settings or similar areas. Because these scientists are engaged in pure research work that may not have immediate application in the business or consumer world, they tend to rely on grants and funding from academic and charitable foundations. Research scientists typically perform experiments, make observations, and create detailed papers of their findings for peer review and publishing.Read More...
Much of what any research scientist does is based on the fundamentals of the scientific method. Normally under the purview of an academic or research organization's approval, this scientist will create experiments that include both control and experimental groups. He or she will record responses based upon the introduction of a variable into both groups. The research scientist will typically draft a proposal for such experimentation, and he or she may be required to have these proposals reviewed by peers within the field to determine the validity and methodology of the research work.
Most research scientists have advanced university degrees in their target subject, typically having earned post-graduate recognition in their chosen field of study. They normally work in a lab environment, but these environments can vary, depending on the scientific specialty. Psychology labs may simply be a bank of computers, while botanical or zoological labs are set up to safely house living specimens. Research scientists typically work regular daytime hours, but they should expect that travel, field work, and irregular hours may be required from time to time by the particular subject matter of the research performed.

Last season was a special one for the Princeton High School boys' swimming team; that much is certain.
The team won the program's first state title, proving to be an unstoppable force in routing Scotch Plains-Fanwood, 109-61, for the NJSIAA 'B' Public Tournament title, the ultimate prize last February.
Maybe the Little Tigers could have gone on to challenge Westfield, Christian Brothers Academy or Pingry, the other teams able to lay claim to being state championships.
"It doesn't take much reminding," head coach Greg Hand said of the task of reinforcing to his team that this season is a new one. "If you were fortunate enough to have been a part of the squad last year, then you'll have something that you'll never forget."
Now, though, what Princeton did and might have gone on to do had there been an NJSIAA Tournament of Champions in swimming can only be discussion, at best. It's in the past, just like the title itself.
"I think everybody feels that it's what's happening today that matters," Hand said.
Those who will try to meet the goal of continued success will look very different from those who accomplished the state title victory last winter. Of the 10 swimmers to finish in the top six at Mercer County Championships, which Princeton won with 356 points to runner-up Notre Dame's 190, seven graduated.
Will Stange, Peter Kalibat, Matt Purdy and Colburn Yu, all juniors, are the only ones who return from that group of 10. As freshmen, those four helped to end Notre Dame's three-year run of county titles and will be at the forefront of Princeton's bid for a third straight title this year. Hand acknowledges that the team he'll field is different.
"Our team is not as deep as it was last year," Hand said. "Everybody here realizes that it's an entirely new season, and it's up to them to make it the best one they can."
Even with Princeton's team looking very different, another team will have to step up and top what remains of the Little Tigers in order to end Princeton's county title run.
Princeton took nine of the 11 first-place finishes at last year's county meet, with only Pennington's Doug McCord and Steinert's Zach Mabin preventing the 11-event sweep.
McCord is now swimming for the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and Mabin returns for his senior year. But one swimmer doesn't flip a county title.
With no clear successor as Princeton was for Notre Dame heading into the 2010-11 season, the opportunity is there for Princeton to make it three in a row, even with the Class of 2012 only available for visits, not swims.
"I just think the county meet is going to be a real positive challenge for everybody this year," Hand said.
"I'll be sort of listening to hear who's got what, but I don't have any predictions or particular goals. We're just going to try to do as best we can."

The Internet of Things (IoT), in all its myriad manifestations, has great potential. Much of that potential comes from the evolving data management and analytic (DMA) technologies and processes that allow us to gain insight from all of the IoT data that can be generated and gathered. This potential may never be met as those data sets are tied to specific industry verticals and single markets, with no clear way to use IoT data and sensor analytics to fulfill the hype being given the IoT today.

Its fern-like appearance is the result of the whorled filiform branchlets, which are not true leaves. Although the flowers are produced in abundance on healthy plants, they are not very showy. While most dioecious plants in Illinois are wind-pollinated, Wild Asparagus is an exception because it is insect-pollinated.

UDK - Performance question
#1 Members - Reputation: 112

I've been coming to this site for years but have only just decided to sign up. Hopefully I can help out the community and vice versa.
My question is about getting the best performance out of the UDK Package for my levels. I have gone through many different tutorials for the modelling suite "Maya" (2011), and I am currently in the progress of modelling a house that I would like to import into UDK later. I was thinking back to other projects I have seen in which houses had been developed via using the BSP geometry and just attaching textures to them. I was wondering would it be better for me to model my houses via Maya and then import them or to attempt to create them with BSP's instead. Is there going to be any deterioration in frame rate from using one or the over?
Thank you to anyone, and hopefully I don't sound stupid.

So the BSP's in UDK actually help to alleviate processing load while in the game.
When I was learning how to use UDK, I made the first level of DOOM in 3DsMax and imported it as just a massive model and tried to set it up properly in the engine. It was a real pain. Once I got it good to test without even built lighting, it really lagged out.
When I replaced nearly all the walls and floors with BSP's, it screamed and worked perfectly, even with dynamic lighting and depth of field built in the level. I lost a bit of detail, but it still had the effect I was looking for and helped make it do-able.
So in my opinion, if you want to have high detail that needs lotsa geometry, then use a model. Otherwise, use BSP's to help make things quicker. That's what they're there for.
Hope that helps!

Personal life and your private thoughts always effect your career. Research is the intellectual backbone of game development and the first order. Version Control is crucial for full management of applications and software. The better the workflow pipeline, then the greater the potential output for a quality game. Completing projects is the last but finest order.

I believe this goes for 'grouped models' as well (collections of smaller models). You would need to balance grouping models together and having individual models for situations such as having a bunch of crates throughout a room. Grouping these together means you only have to check once to see if any of the models are visible. However, group too many too far apart, and a single outlying box that might be visible from where you're currently at will cause all the rest of the boxes that are hidden to be drawn anyways even though nothing is shown for the work.
BSPs can be a handy tool for indoor scenes but they really begin to struggle with handling large outdoor areas. I can't remember off the top of my head what the deal was but I believe there's also some inconsistencies with lighting methods between BSP geometry and model geometry (vertex lighting vs. lightmapping and dynamic lighting). Something to keep in mind and look deeper into.
If you build your models properly snapped to a grid following UDK's units, you will be able to snap them together in the UDK editor with ease. As long as you have your models flush with each other and prevent gaps between meshes your models will prevent anything behind them from drawing (as long as all vertices of the hidden models are not visible).

You have a view options, depending on what you exactly want with the house. If it is just scenery i advice you import it as a whole and place it. But if it is very detailed and you might want to re-use parts you should cut it up and put it together in UDK. Depending on the size of the house you can use BSP to flesh things out.
Performance wise UDK can handle tons of triangles, but only if you use the optimization tools. Put up lightmass importance volumes and visibility volumes. The former makes sure the engine calculates the lightning at the important places and the latter will completely hide BSP's and meshes when they are not visible to the player anyway and dynamically loads it back in.
For more detail you should watch some video's of 3D buzz on UDK they have 40+ hours i believe. Also try load a unreal map and turn off static meshes and you see what i mean about using BSP's.

GLOUCESTER TWP. — A 24-year-old man was seriously injured when the all-terrain vehicle he was operating hit a tree here Tuesday afternoon.
Stephen Smarrito, of Ridge Avenue in Glendora, was found unconscious by officers responding to a 9-1-1 call on Ridge Avenue at about 4:35 p.m., said police.
Smarrito was operating a four-wheel ATV. He was treated at the scene by emergency medical services personnel and transported to Cooper University Hospital, where he is reported to be in critical condition, police said.
The Gloucester Township Serious Crash Investigation Team is investigating. No charges have been filed.
Gloucester Township EMS, Blenheim, Chews Landing and Glendora fire departments and Virtua paramedics were at the scene.

The agencies, which draw their funds from Portland ratepayers, are both the managers of massive public-works projects in Portland and sources of ire for ratepayers angry about far smaller expenditures unrelated or only loosely related to water and sewer services.
First, state regulators signaled on Tuesday that they would grant a waiver to Portland's Water Bureau so it wouldn't have to build a $90 million treatment plant for a microbe that hasn't been detected in Portland's water for about a decade.
If approved in January as expected, the waiver could save water ratepayers from Gresham to Portland to Tigard upward of $68 million, the Water Bureau said. About a quarter of all Oregonians draw their drinking water from the watershed that Portland operates, spreading the benefit beyond Portland. Even critics of the Water Bureau hailed this as a victory.
Then, on Wednesday, Portland officials marked the completion of a 20-year effort to overhaul the city's combined stormwater and sewer system, sometimes called Big Pipe. In our front-page story Monday about that effort, we noted that Portland had commissioned a 12-minute video, Working for Clean Rivers, narrated by Lesley Stahl about Big Pipe. Stahl, a correspondent for 60 Minutes, did the work for free. However, producing the film -- which will be distributed to schools -- cost the bureau $23,000, a spokesman for the Bureau of Environmental Services, Linc Mann, said. (To watch it, click the link above.)
Ratepayers paid for the film as part of the $1.4 billion Big Pipe project.
Which brings us back to the Water Bureau.
It released a new edition of the book, "Water: Portland's Precious Heritage," on Monday, and the book will be on sale Sunday at the Oregon Historical Society, where the author also will be signing copies from noon to 4 p.m.
The author, a retired city of Portland employee named Casey Short, earned $64,000 in ratepayer funds updating the book, which was first issued in 1983.

Duluth, MN (Northland's NewsCenter) --- The UMD men's hockey team was rewarded for its current hot streak on Monday afternoon, named the new #1 team in the country by both major polls.
U.S. College Hockey Online and USA Today both rank the Bulldogs as the best in the nation this week following a weekend road sweep of Michigan Tech.
The Bulldogs are riding a current 12-game unbeaten streak, the longest active streak in the nation, not having lost a game since mid-October.
UMD is on the road again this weekend, visiting the Wisconsin Badgers for a pair of conference games. Saturday's game can be seen live in the Northland on the My 9 Sports Network, with drop of the puck set for 8:07 p.m.
