text: Google Must Erase Certain Links If Asked: EU Court Decision aims to protect individual privacy By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted May 13, 2014 8:49 AM CDT 5 comments Comments In This March 23, 2010, file photo, the Google logo is seen at the Google headquarters in Brussels. (AP Photo/Virginia Mayo, File) (Newser) – If you want certain articles or court documents removed when your name is Googled—and you live in Europe—the search giant must comply, Europe's top court says. The ruling, which affects all search engines, focuses on privacy protection and the "right to be forgotten" in Europe, the Wall Street Journal reports. Even if the searchable information was released legally, Google can be "obliged to remove links" to it, the European Court of Justice said. That applies in most cases, "unless there are particular reasons, such as the role played by the data subject in public life, justifying a preponderant interest of the public." The ruling is a disappointment "for search engines and online publishers in general," Google says—not to mention a surprise, given officials' "dramatically" different preliminary decision. The case at hand dealt with a lawyer bothered by the appearance of legal information that appeared in an article in Google search results, the New York Times reports. The case, he said, had been settled and the information's availability violated his privacy. Europe's justice commissioner applauded the decision, Reuters reports. "Companies can no longer hide behind their servers being based in California or anywhere else in the world," she wrote. (Read more Google stories.)

In the end, it makes great sense to pick up a Booker winner. The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes has all the ingredients of an entertaining read- a lucid and intimate style that keeps you turning pages, and the promise of a suspenseful ending that is fully delivered by a fabulous plot. You realise after putting the book down however, that what you read is poetry in perfect prose, masquerading as a novel. Bravo Mr. Barnes!
I can't help comparing Julian Barnes's winner to the book I read just before I started on this one- Snowdrops by Andrew Miller (see my review post dated 31January in this blog). Both are books by English writers, written in first person, with understated but flawed protagonists. I had written that Snowdrops reads like a drunken anecdote stretched out into a book. I could just imagine a bunch of wasted expatriates exchanging stories in a bar at 3 AM. No doubt there was a woman in the party that the expat lawyer/banker/journalist wanted to impress. And maybe there was too, a journalist filing away stories for later, to string together into handiwork that would float up from the debris of literary wannabes when conditions were right (We need fresh work now- too much immigrant angst, too much mid-life crisis, too much coming of age, too much Irish/South Asian/ Caribbean/West African/ Chinese/ Japanese sensibility, let us have something contemporary and new- how about Arabia, Russia, in fact we have nothing set in Moscow- you have? Glory be! Hope it is nothing about Russian immigrant angst… No? Even better)!
On the other hand, in The S of an E, an anecdote in the life of a thoughtful person turns into an introspective, indeed deeply interrogative exercise to become a commentary on his life. And whilst the protagonist makes his journey, the author conveys to us the picture of a flawed character, coming to terms with his culpability.
The story then is of sixty-year old Anthony Webster who grew up in London. The main players in this story are- Anthony, his clever and incredibly self-assured school friend, Adrian Finn, his clever and incredibly self-assured sounding ex-girlfriend, and her family. It is told entirely from Anthony's perspective and from his old memory, in a rather ruminative and placid style that is surprisingly engrossing. The tale fascinates, to borrow an expression from the fashion-world, the tale fascinates with its detailing: the intense school yard discussions that bring a smile to your face, an older man's defensive descriptions of the sexual mores of his time, a college weekend gone wrong that highlights the subtleties in English 'class' interactions, the secret life of a mother deciphered in the throw of a pan and a wave. The twists in the tale are if not shocking, astonishing and gripping. I can't say anything more without outing the suspense, except to say that Anthony and the reader have to reorder their opinions many times before the story winds to a darn good finish.
Anthony as the protagonist is a sensitive man who tries to be objective in his assessments, he is aware that his memory might not always serve him right and moreover seems to understand others' failings. But it is not enough! Even as Anthony pauses at the end of his narrative, he senses but does not see culpability in a great many of his actions. Take for example his insensitivity to a lonely ex-wife. He does not want to be with her, which is fair enough- I certainly did not take to her brash pretending-to-be-straightforward manner- but does he sense her need, has he worked it out that he does not like her enough and his hanging out with her is no more solely self-serving than going out with Veronica Ford all those years back? His remorse unaccompanied by penance, his insincere insistence on convention that hides enormous rage. Oh but I have got carried away. Anthony Webster is a figment of Julian Barnes's imagination, not a real person, just as The Sense of an Ending is fiction though it reads like truth that is stranger than fiction. So I believe. Now if Julian Barnes would only write another one hundred and fifty page masterpiece told by Webster's ex-girlfriend, Veronica Ford! That would be heaven.
Have you not read the book yet? What is your excuse?
It was happy but short. V was disappointed by the ending, maybe disturbed. A was struck by the weekend episode in the book. We discussed the English 'class' divide, and how it cuts both ways with some people having a massive chip on their shoulder. Thereon we went on to talking of Snowdrops, with V giving a lot of Moscow colour.

Gating of hippocampal activity, plasticity, and memory by entorhinal cortex long-range inhibition.
Jayeeta Basu, Jeffrey D. Zaremba, Stephanie K. Cheung, Frederick L. Hitti, Boris V. Zemelman, Attila Losonczy, Steven A. Siegelbaum
Science 8 January 2016, Vol. 351 no. 6269, doi: 10.1126/science.aaa5694
The cortico-hippocampal circuit is critical for storage of associational memories. Most studies have focused on the role in memory storage of the excitatory projections from entorhinal cortex to hippocampus. However, entorhinal cortex also sends inhibitory projections, whose role in memory storage and cortico-hippocampal activity remains largely unexplored. We found that these long-range inhibitory projections enhance the specificity of contextual and object memory encoding. At the circuit level, these γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)–releasing projections target hippocampal inhibitory neurons and thus act as a disinhibitory gate that transiently promotes the excitation of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons by suppressing feedforward inhibition. This enhances the ability of CA1 pyramidal neurons to fire synaptically evoked dendritic spikes and to generate a temporally precise form of heterosynaptic plasticity. Long-range inhibition from entorhinal cortex may thus increase the precision of hippocampal-based long-term memory associations by assessing the salience of mnemonic information to the immediate sensory input.

A cortico-hippocampal learning rule shapes inhibitory microcircuit activity to enhance hippocampal information flow.
Jayeeta Basu, Kalyan V. Srinivas, Stephanie K. Cheung, Hiroki Taniguchi, Z. Josh Huang, Steven A. Siegelbaum
Neuron, Volume 79 , Issue 6 , 1208 – 1221, 18 September 2013
How does coordinated activity between distinct brain regions implement a set of learning rules to sculpt information processing in a given neural circuit? Using interneuron cell-type-specific optical activation and pharmacogenetic silencing in vitro, we show that temporally precise pairing of direct entorhinal perforant path (PP) and hippocampal Schaffer collateral (SC) inputs to CA1 pyramidal cells selectively suppresses SC-associated perisomatic inhibition from cholecystokinin (CCK)-expressing interneurons. The CCK interneurons provide a surprisingly strong feedforward inhibitory drive to effectively control the coincident excitation of CA1 pyramidal neurons by convergent inputs. Thus, in-phase cortico-hippocampal activity provides a powerful heterosynaptic learning rule for long-term gating of information flow through the hippocampal excitatory macrocircuit by the silencing of the CCK inhibitory microcircuit.
Reelin Signaling Specifies the Molecular Identity of the Pyramidal Neuron Distal Dendritic Compartment.
Justine Kupferman, Jayeeta Basu, Marco J. Russo, Jenieve Guevarra, Stephanie Cheung, and Steven A. Siegelbaum
Cell, online publication 4 September, 2014; doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2014.07.035
The apical dendrites of many neurons contain proximal and distal compartments that receive synaptic inputs from different brain regions. These compartments also contain distinct complements of ion channels that enable the differential processing of their respective synaptic inputs, making them functionally distinct. At present, the molecular mechanisms that specify dendritic compartments are not well understood. Here, we report that the extracellular matrix protein Reelin, acting through its downstream, intracellular Dab1 and Src family tyrosine kinase signaling cascade, is essential for establishing and maintaining the molecular identity of the distal dendritic compartment of cortical pyramidal neurons. We find that Reelin signaling is required for the striking enrichment of HCN1 and GIRK1 channels in the distal tuft dendrites of both hippocampal CA1 and neocortical layer 5 pyramidal neurons, where the channels actively filter inputs targeted to these dendritic domains.
Munc13-1 C1 Domain Activation Lowers the Energy Barrier for Synaptic Vesicle Fusion.
Jayeeta Basu, Andrea Betz, Nils Brose, Christian Rosenmund
The Journal of Neuroscience, 31 January 2007, 27(5): 1200-1210; doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.4908-06.2007
Synapses need to encode a wide dynamic range of action potential frequencies. Essential vesicle priming proteins of the Munc13 (mammalian Unc13) family play an important role in adapting vesicle supply to variable demand and thus influence short-term plasticity characteristics and synaptic function. Structure-function analyses of Munc13s have identified a "catalytic" C-terminal domain and several N-terminal modulatory domains, including a diacylglycerol/phorbol ester [4beta-phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu)] binding C1 domain. Although still allowing basal priming, a Munc13-1 C1 domain mutation (H567K) prevents PDBu induced potentiation of evoked transmitter release, leads to strong depression during trains of synaptic activity, and causes perinatal lethality in mice. To understand the mechanism of C1 domain-mediated modulation of Munc13 function, we examined how PDBu increases neurotransmitter release. Analyses of osmotically induced release as well as Ca2+ triggered and spontaneous release showed that PDBu increases the vesicular release rate without affecting the size of the readily releasable vesicle pool, linking C1 domain activation to a lowering of the energy barrier for vesicle fusion. PDBu binding-deficient mutant Munc13-1(H567K) synapses mirrored the vesicular release properties of PDBu-potentiated wild-type synapses, indicating that Munc13-1(H567K) is a gain-of-function mutant, which conformationally mimics the PDBu-activated state of Munc13-1. We propose a PKC analogous two-state model of regulation of Munc13s, in which the basal state of Munc13s is disinhibited by C1 domain activation into a state of facilitated vesicle release, regardless of whether the release is spontaneous or action potential triggered.
Rab3 superprimes synaptic vesicles for release: implications for short-term synaptic plasticity.
Oliver M. Schlüter, Jayeeta Basu, Thomas C. Südhof, and Christian Rosenmund
The Journal of Neuroscience, 25 January 2006, 26(4):1239-1246; doi:10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3553-05.2006
Presynaptic vesicle trafficking and priming are important steps in regulating synaptic transmission and plasticity. The four closely related small GTP-binding proteins Rab3A, Rab3B, Rab3C, and Rab3D are believed to be important for these steps. In mice, the complete absence of all Rab3s leads to perinatal lethality accompanied by a 30% reduction of probability of Ca2+-triggered synaptic release. This study examines the role of Rab3 during Ca2+-triggered release in more detail and identifies its impact on short-term plasticity. Using patch-clamp electrophysiology of autaptic neuronal cultures from Rab3-deficient mouse hippocampus, we show that excitatory Rab3-deficient neurons display unique time- and frequency-dependent short-term plasticity characteristics in response to spike trains. Analysis of vesicle release and repriming kinetics as well as Ca2+ sensitivity of release indicate that Rab3 acts on a subset of primed, fusion competent vesicles. They lower the amount of Ca2+ required for action potential-triggered release, which leads to a boosting of release probability, but their action also introduces a significant delay in the supply of these modified vesicles. As a result, Rab3-induced modifications to primed vesicles causes a transient increase in the transduction efficacy of synaptic action potential trains and optimizes the encoding of synaptic information at an intermediate spike frequency range.
A minimal domain responsible for Munc13 activity.
Jayeeta Basu, Nan Shen, Irina Dulubova, Jun Lu, Rong Guan, Oleg Guryev, Nick V Grishin, Christian Rosenmund & Josep Rizo
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology 12, 1017 – 1018 (2005)
Munc13 proteins are essential in neurotransmitter release, controlling the priming of synaptic vesicles to a release-ready state. The sequences responsible for this priming activity are unknown. Here we identify a large alpha-helical domain of mammalian Munc13-1 that is autonomously folded and is sufficient to rescue the total arrest in neurotransmitter release observed in hippocampal neurons lacking Munc13s.
Molecular dynamics of a presynaptic active zone protein studied in Munc13-1-enhanced yellow fluorescent protein knock-in mutant mice.
Kalla S, Stern M, Basu J, Varoqueaux F, Reim K, Rosenmund C, Ziv NE, Brose N.
J Neurosci. 2006 Dec 13;26(50):13054-66.
GFP (green fluorescent protein) fusion proteins have revolutionized research on protein dynamics at synapses. However, corresponding analyses usually involve protein expression methods that override endogenous regulatory mechanisms, and therefore cause overexpression and temporal or spatial misexpression of exogenous fusion proteins, which may seriously compromise the physiological validity of such experiments. These problems can be circumvented by using knock-in mutagenesis of the endogenous genomic locus to tag the protein of interest with a fluorescent protein. We generated knock-in mice expressing a fusion protein of the presynaptic active zone protein Munc13-1 and enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP) from the Munc13-1 locus. Munc13-1-EYFP-containing nerve cells and synapses are functionally identical to those of wild-type mice. However, their presynaptic active zones are distinctly fluorescent and readily amenable for imaging. We demonstrated the usefulness of these mice by studying the molecular dynamics of Munc13-1-EYFP at individual presynaptic sites. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments revealed that Munc13-1-EYFP is rapidly and continuously lost from and incorporated into active zones (tau1 approximately 3 min; tau2 approximately 80 min). Munc13-1-EYFP steady-state levels and exchange kinetics were not affected by proteasome inhibitors or acute synaptic stimulation, but exchange kinetics were reduced by chronic suppression of spontaneous activity. These experiments, performed in a minimally perturbed system, provide evidence that presynaptic active zones of mammalian CNS synapses are highly dynamic structures. They demonstrate the usefulness of the knock-in approach in general and of Munc13-1-EYFP knock-in mice in particular for imaging synaptic protein dynamics.
Heterodimerization of Munc13 C2A domain with RIM regulates synaptic vesicle docking and priming.

Nature Communications 2017; 8: 15293.
The presynaptic active zone protein Munc13 is essential for neurotransmitter release, playing key roles in vesicle docking and priming. Mechanistically, it is thought that the C2A domain of Munc13 inhibits the priming function by homodimerization, and that RIM disrupts the autoinhibitory homodimerization forming monomeric priming-competent Munc13. However, it is unclear whether the C2A domain mediates other Munc13 functions in addition to this inactivation–activation switch. Here, we utilize mutations that modulate the homodimerization and heterodimerization states to define additional roles of the Munc13 C2A domain. Using electron microscopy and electrophysiology in hippocampal cultures, we show that the C2A domain is critical for additional steps of vesicular release, including vesicle docking. Optimal vesicle docking and priming is only possible when Munc13 heterodimerizes with RIM via its C2A domain. Beyond being a switching module, our data suggest that the Munc13-RIM heterodimer is an active component of the vesicle docking, priming and release complex.

"Hippocampal Function in Rodents."
Roland Zemla, and Jayeeta Basu
Neurobiology of Learning and Plasticity, Current Opinion in Neurobiology 2017, 43:187–197
The hippocampus is crucial for the formation and recall of long-term memories about people, places, objects, and events. Capitalizing on high-resolution microscopy, in vivo electrophysiology, and genetic manipulation, recent research in rodents provides evidence for hippocampal ensemble coding on the spatial, episodic, and contextual dimensions. Here we highlight the functional contribution of newly described long-range connections between hippocampus and cortical areas, and the relative impact of inhibitory and excitatory dynamics in generating behaviorally relevant population activity. Our goal is to provide an integrated view of hippocampal circuit function to understand mnemonic computations at the systems and cellular levels that underlie adaptive learned behaviors.

Synaptic plasticity serves as a cellular substrate for information storage in the central nervous system. The entorhinal cortex (EC) and hippocampus are interconnected brain areas supporting basic cognitive functions important for the formation and retrieval of declarative memories. Here, we discuss how information flow in the EC-hippocampal loop is organized through circuit design. We highlight recently identified corticohippocampal and intrahippocampal connections and how these long-range and local microcircuits contribute to learning. This review also describes various forms of activity-dependent mechanisms that change the strength of corticohippocampal synaptic transmission. A key point to emerge from these studies is that patterned activity and interaction of coincident inputs gives rise to associational plasticity and long-term regulation of information flow. Finally, we offer insights about how learning-related synaptic plasticity within the corticohippocampal circuit during sensory experiences may enable adaptive behaviors for encoding spatial, episodic, social, and contextual memories.

And How Was Your Day?My French exchange student never fails to ask me "Did you pass a good day?" (I like the wording so much that I haven't told him that this is not standard English.) (But it ought to be.)
Well, today I have a longer answer than "fine" or "crappy."
First, you have to know that I am having my kitchen counters replaced and the sink changed. Yesterday they took the old counters out, leaving me with no sink, no dishwasher, no way to clean the stove, and a clear view of the contents of the top drawers. I was able to choose a bottle opener without searching through the back of the silverware drawer, and I opened the phone book to look up a number, again without opening the drawer. Twice. Convenient, no?
Today actually started yesterday at 3 or so, when the contractor called. He said that the counter people and the plumber would be at my house shortly before 3 (just when I am picking up the French exchange student from school), and have I bought a replacement faucet yet? This is something that I don't think we discussed explicitly, because it is only 18 months old, and I would have no reason to purchase another. I verified it was not left at the house. The contractor found it in a dumpster underneath some siding, and concluded I really did not want it back in the sink, and offered to compensate me for a new faucet. Which I now had to go and buy. Well, I was about to retrieve the other exchange student, gather decorations for my potluck dinner, and take both exchange students to their potluck, go to mine, and return home about 9:00 without stopping at Home Depot, so I planned to buy it today.
Now on to today.
Today's list included teaching an 11 year old how to finish the binding on her first quilt (which has a Christmas deadline), from 10:00 to until we finished about lunchtime, then buying the faucet, and stopping at place to pick up lunch that was not a hamburger joint. Something classy, like a sandwich shop, or possibly the Safeway deli, and being home in plenty of time for everyone to arrive at 3. I could not buy the faucet before 10, because it it laundry day, and the first load, which finished at 10, is officially titled "the load that will wrinkle if you do not pay attention to it right away, and then I have to iron everything, and I hate ironing."
My daughter called at about 9:30. She has a doctor appointment for the youngest, who has had a cough for two weeks, and it is getting worse this week. It is at 1:00. Can I take him, or does she need to take time off work? Yes, I can take him.
I called my husband, who is at a slow time at work, to see if he can get a faucet. Maybe. I need to check back on when the quilting sessions ends. deep breath. OK.
My little quilter shows up at 10:15, and everything is going just great until the countertop guys show up at 10:30. We do a little talking, they make a phone call, confirm that the contractor was mis-informed, I give my little quilter (and her grandmother) directions and head off to Home Depot to buy a faucet.
The trip was without incident. I made all the stoplights both ways, even the one I always stop at (well, except for 1, but really!). There is one section of freeway which is officially 70 mph, everyone goes 50 because in only 1 mile there is an exit that most of them want to take, so why speed up to the flow of traffic? I was able to get up to 80 on the section! (You didn't see me, and I'll deny everything.)
Then I remember the phone book I left open in the drawer...it now covers two drawers. I envision cutting it apart (it is in a 1 inch plastic 3 ring binder) in order to remove it from the drawer, and I hope I get home before they get to that section of counter.
I get home without getting a ticket, deliver the faucet, discover the counter has actually been installed over the phone book, successfully remove it without destroying it or anything else, and tell my little quilter what to do next, Then my daughter calls. She is on the bus to work, but forgot her ibuprofen. Can I deliver some? She doesn't need it until 2 or 3. I promise to try, and think to myself, I am going to forget.
I call my husband to say he is off alert for the faucet.
I go back and forth between the countertop guys and my quilter, successfully multitasking. My quilter leaves at 12:30. The countertop guys leave at 12:40. I leave at 12:41 to pick up the grandson, get some information on his cough, install his car seat, get a permission slip from his dad, and make it to the doctor with 2 minutes to spare.
During the visit, the baby throws up all over himself and my sleeve. I assure the doctor this is nothing, his mother threw up in my mouth once. (Only once.) We leave the office at 1:30, a half hour earlier than I had thought. I am thrilled. I deliver the baby to his dad, with instructions. Then I go home and change my shirt, and plan to get lunch and deliver ibuprofen.
I discover that the plumbers have been there, almost 2 hours ahead of schedule. I call them. They have nothing else to do, so they come back and install the faucet and reconnect the dishwasher. I get a text from the exchange student...can I come? The library is closing. The plumbers are almost done, he said to call when I get there. The plumbers leave, I leave.
At school, there is no response to my calls or texts. I finally enter the school, find the kid. Then Laurie asks for the ibuprofen again. I go home, get the drugs, go to Wendys for lunch, and eat lunch while waiting for Laurie to come to the parking lot to get her drugs. It is 4:00. Time for coffee.
And that was how I passed my day.
And I finished all the laundry.

Here is a little demo of what you can do.
First create a simple form.
Now consider that want to send the username and password after encrypting it.<form action="process.php" method="post" onsubmit="return submitForm(this.form)"> <input type="text" name="uname" id="uname">
 <input type="password" name="pass" id="pass">
 <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>
One way to do this is when user clicks the submit button, we change the values of the fields with the encrypted values.
The other way is to create form in javascript and values to it and then submit that form to server side.
Here is a little JS that does the same thing.
Here it we create a new form element, add child elements to it and submit is. The advantage here is you can choose your own encryption logic based on your needs and send the data securely to the server.

There is now heavy equipment at the site of the rumored Chinese mall and condotel at the corner of A. Luna and Capt. Vicente Roa Streets.
As shown, a field office has been set up also at the site. All makeshift structures within the said property were demolished over the weekend. In previous reports, the mall/condotel project will start if the creek (shown below) which traverses the property will be re-aligned along the road. This is what I had in mind when I saw the back hoe onsite.
The location is ideal with Ayala's Centrio Mall in the background.

Awakening Your Sovereignty
Secrets have enslaved humanity for eons. In fact we were fooled into believing a certain way based upon dark deception. Forced to obey man-made lies, written as law, based upon rules scribed in books thousands of years ago by individuals who's objective was to contain and control humanity. This very same dominant ego, that forced nations into wars both domestic and foreign. With psychopaths and banking families who profited from both sides, stealing wealth, land and resources whilst depopulating our species in the process. We were forced to digest stories based upon myths, teaching us to think a certain way, a false reality. Dark Covens deceived us into believing that we had no value as individuals. For example, as a continuation of this great deception, Nasa, a Freemason coven, spent trillions convincing us, we were spinning around on a ball earth, with no real connection or place in the universe.

This is Sung Si Kyung's last album before he enlists to his mandatory two year service in the army.
I really love this album, though – as Sung Si Kyung puts it himself, the album has a lonely feel, like a winter streetlamp.
I would recommend this one – it sounds rather different compared to his previous albums, and every track is worth listening.
Listening to it just makes me miss him already…
From digital chosunilbo :
A farewell with a promise to meet again can be more heartrending than a permanent goodbye as it must last throughout the waiting period. For Sung Si-kyung (29), who is about to start his military service, his just-released sixth album "Here in My Heart" is just that: it's bye for now, but we'll meet again. In an interview with the Chosun Ilbo, he seems tired. "I'll probably start duty in July, though the date isn't exact," he says. On May 12, he quit the MBC FM late night radio show "Blue Night with Sung Si-kyung", which he had hosted for two years and seven months.
"A late-night radio show brings you close to the listeners but further from the world. I quit it early to prepare for the album and concert and look after my health," he says. He has a thesis left to submit to complete his master's at the Korea University Graduate School of Journalism and Mass Communication: it's about the music selection on FM radio.
"I was never afraid that people would forget me. Believe it or not, I also never wanted to be famous or a superstar. I just worry that I'll be cut off from society and lose my musical sense during the two years, as I won't be able to invest in myself."
"I worked madly on the album sleeping two hours a day, and at times I thought 'what is all this work for?'" He was clearly feeling nervous and depressed, as most men do before military service.
Big-name composers including Yoo Hee-yeol, Kim Hyun-chul, Jung Jae-hyung, Roh Young-sim and Kim Kwang-jin worked on the new album. He wrote two songs himself, including the title song "Goodbye, My Love", a collaboration with Yoo. He may be a multitalented entertainer, but his focus has always been on music.
His vocals particularly shine in songs that dispense with too much echo in production. Except for the title song, the album has a lonely feel, like a winter streetlamp. "I have a talent for acting out the lyrics and melody," he says. "I would be singing but at the same time acting out a 3:30 minute long ballad. The album inevitably includes a lot about departure, reflecting my situation."
He initially asked not to talk much about his military service, but he always came back to it at the end. It is clearly a sore point. "If I had an audio, keyboard and books, two years in prison would be better," he says.
He enlists on the 1st of July.
Sung Si Kyung, your fans will really miss you!

The weakest season of Moonlighting, but still better than mo
Ron Cronovich | Kenosha, WI | 07/02/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Season 4 may be the show's weakest season. Yet, it gets unfairly panned. It stands up fairly well after 20 years.
After Season 3, which most fans and critics consider the best of all 5 seasons, the expectations for Season 4 were extremely and unfairly high. Also, Cybill Sheperd's pregnancy kept her from putting in more than a few cameos for several months, and a Hollywood strike disrupted many network shows. As a result, Season 4 was short (only 14 episodes), had long gaps between new episodes, and had too many episodes in which David and/or Maddie had very little screen time. Which meant an increased presence of Herbert Viola and Miss DiPesto, something that not all fans thought was consistently a good thing.
Despite these obstacles, Season 4 managed to bring some of that Moonlighting magic that fans love, and remains better than most television, despite being perhaps the weakest season of Moonlighting.
Season 4 continued the Moonlighting tradition of lots of great music and great guest stars, including: Ray Charles, Dr Joyce Brothers, John Goodman, Pat Boone, and Terry O'Quinn (the guy that plays John Locke on "Lost").
In a very strong episode, David butts heads with Maddie's overprotective father, well-played by Robert Webber, who was in the original "12 Angry Men", and a guest on such shows as Rockford Files, Outer Limits (the original), Ironside, and Kojak.
Another great Season 4 episode is "Fetal Attraction", in which David takes a Lamaze class with foxy future single mom Brooke Adams (who was also in Frasier, Thirtysomething, Kojak, Police Woman, and the Lords of Flatbush). David is doing this so he can be there for Maddie, who in Chicago is oblivious to his sacrifice; meanwhile, the healthy way David and Brooke Adams's character get along is such an amazing contrast to the rocky roller-coaster relationship David has with Maddie. Great episode!
Serious fans and completists will want to pick up the Season 4 DVD set. Casual fans might be better off renting the individual discs from Netflix.
Stay tuned: Season 5 (with "A Womb with a View"!!!) is coming soon!"
I'd rather re-watch previous episodes
G.V. | Mexico City, Mexico | 06/28/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)
"As a big fan of this series I can remmember how the frustration from constant repeats in Season 3 turned even worse the following year when most of the new episodes only included one(or none)of the main stars. As good as Miss Depesto and Mr. Viola were, they were never meant to carry a whole episode by themeselves.
These are the reasons why I'm passing on Season 4. Personally I'd rather re-watch the episodes on the previous seasons and remmember Moonlighting at its best."
Slow-paced & Doesn't Stack Up to Seasons 1-3
Lola Legendre | Minneapolis, MN United States | 01/06/2007
(2 out of 5 stars)
"I got hooked on this show from watching the DVDs so I had to watch season 4 despite its bad reputation. There are some fun moments here and there, but they're pretty scarce overall; in fact, there are entire episodes where not one funny thing occurs or is said. Most of the season consists of David and Maddie ruminating over their relationship's shortcomings, which gets old on the very first episode, but it continues. For much of the season, Maddie is away with her parents, so some episodes show her with them and in others she does not appear at all. The point, though, is that after the first episode David and Maddie are not in any scenes together until much later in the season. Since the success and popularity of the show owed to the chemistry between the two of them, the tone of the show was altered immensely due to their lack of scenes together, and not for the better. The producers of this show made the decision to send Maddie away temporarily in order to give Cybill Shepherd time off to have her child. They could have handled that much more creatively, however, (maybe by delaying the production so D&M wouldn't have to be separate) and you can easily see how the series suffered. Overall it's quite dull, slow-paced and laugh-free. Even when D&M actually are together, the dialogue between them isn't as snappy and clever as before. A lot of it consists of one character repeating the other's words ("I'm ambivalent about our relationship." "Ambivalent?" "Yes, ambivalent." "Well, I'm ambivalent about your ambivalence" etc., etc., etc.) and that really drags. The writers weren't exactly giving it their all.
There are a few good points, though, such as the "Honeymooners" homage in the first episode. We get more DiPesto and Viola, both of whom I find charming. And once you get to disc 3 (there are THREE discs to this set, not four as listed) things start to pick up. The last episode of this season is actually quite charming, I think, and contains one of the best, funniest climactic chase scenes of the series altogether in my opinion.
As for special features, the set just contains a few commentaries. Those involved admit they made some poor decisions that damaged the show for its viewers. So, again, there are some good moments in the first episode and near the end, but if you go for this season just know that you're in for a few nonsensical and uninteresting plotlines and a lot of depressing analyzing-of-one's-feelings that should belong on Dr. Phil (well, if the Dr. Phil show had existed then), not a fun, witty show like Moonlighting.
I'll definitely buy it!
Pam | 08/10/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Season 4 sometimes gets a bad rap because Cybill was gone for so many episodes and it had some surprise plot twists that fans didn't always like. But it has some great episodes! Some of my favorites are:
A Trip to the Moon - the season opener features a great Honeymooners parody, David declaring his love for Maddie to the office, and one of my favorite scenes of the series in a laundromat.
Come Back Little Shiksa - David trashes Maddie's BMW to Jimi Hendrix while working on a case with Bert that parallels his own situation. Look for the claymation scene that has Bruce and Cybill's characteristics down to a tee.
Fetal Attraction - David asks Bert to be his Lamaze partner, then meets Terri and tells her about him and Maddie.
Father Knows Last - A fan favorite! Mr. Hayes comes to find out David's attentions towards Maddie. The scene on the airplane where David declares his love for Maddie to her father may be Bruce's best scene in the entire series.
Tracks of My Tears - David and Maddie's reunion! Love the look on Bruce's face as he hugs her. But first, we get the great "Body Heat" dream sequence between them.
Maddie Hayes Got Married - One of my personal favorites! David throws a wedding for Maddie, Bert fills in as the stripper at Maddie's intended's bachelor party, and a madcap scene at the hospital where Maddie and David go at each other while Terri gives birth.
And the Flesh Was Made Word - A great season ender, which was cut short by a writers' strike. Watch Maddie chase David for a change! The real Moonlighting writers fill up the short episode, dancing with their picket signs as Bert sings the Wooly Bully!
All in all, a good season that finished strong!"

Drop tests : iPad Mini vs Nexus 7
Here are two interesting videos by SquareTrade and Android authority performing drop tests to compare the durability between the iPad Mini and Nexus 7.
The SquareTrade's drop tests also include the iPad 3 and they used a specially designed Drop Bot to drop the three tablets from different heights and angles. They also immersed the tablets into water to find out which tablet could survive the damage of water.
All the 3 tablets got pretty much damage on their screens while they were dropped with their faces down. And the Nexus 7 seemed to have least damage on its screen. But only the iPad Mini and iPad 3 survived the drop into water which still showed functioning on their touch displays but the Nexus 7 was not able to turn on after it'd been dropped into water.
The test performed by Android authority consisted of three tests which are dropping on their sides, on their backs and with their faces down. Only the iPad Mini survived all the three tests with its touchscreen still functioning after all the 3 tests. The Nexus 7 already stopped functioning completely after the second drop test.
Apparently, it's only the iPad Mini that is durable enough and able to survive your carelessness of accidental dropping or dropping it into the water. Forget about the Nexus 7, if you're accident-prone!

Udinese fire coach Delneri after home loss to Cagliari

Udinese fire coach Delneri after home loss to Cagliari
(Reuters) - Udinese have fired coach Luigi Delneri after a 1-0 home loss to Cagliari on Sunday, the Serie A club said on Tuesday. Udinese are fourteenth in the standings after losing eight out of 12 league games so far this season, including a 6-2 loss at home to Juventus. The 67-year-old Delneri joined the Udine-based club in October 2016 on a one-year contract which was later renewed for one more year. The club finished thirteenth last season. Former Pescara coach Massimo Oddo was expected to replace Delneri, Italian media reported. (Reporting by Silvia Recchimuzzi in Gdynia; Editing by Clare Fallon)

I thought I better explain why I can't just ignore it.
Firstly, I think some ideas (or memes) cause real harm in the real world. (I recognise this involves subjective opinion). My "agenda" for want of a better word is to promote critical thinking (for want of a less pretentious sounding sentence….lol). I try to encourage "good memes" and stamp all over bad ones basically.
A recent example of a pseudo-scientific post trying to marry quantum physics with consciousness in some Mystical way invoked Psychic abilities, religious ideas and other mumbo- Jumbo as supporting evidence. I think this is dishonest and methods to fool people into believing things like Psychic abilities are endorsed scientifically.

My 2015 Running year in review Part 2 – July to December
Part 1 was long and boring, never mind that heres part 2!
July 2015
Runs – 17
Distance – 125.2 km
July would become the start of our Marathon Training. We decided to go with Hal Higdons Intermediate 1 training plan – which featured no intervals which was a great thing to use as an excuse whenever Martin asked us to do them.
With pressure on I immediately had calf issues and got hurt, firstly on a run in Wales where Mum and Ju followed us on bikes.. Just as I felt totally unmotivated and like crap I managed to smash a run at Great Run local and hit a new PB of 26:56. This was followed by a 10k.
Now this was a strange one. I wasn't feeling like going for it, but Rach was, so at the start she left me for dust. As I started to go round I felt more and more comfortable and as I hit 8km I started to see Rachel in the distance. I decided to bust my guts to catch her, and smashed out a fast 9th km. As we entered the final straight there was a uphill part and I burst it up there and managed to get her in my sights. As we entered the athletics stadium for the finish someone shouted "Go on Chris!" and I paniced thinking Rach would turn and see me and speed up. As I reached the final straight I came along side her and said "Hello" and (and please note what follows is what I say she said as she denies it) she said "Oh I'm so happy to see you". I began to push to sprint and she yelped out a "No!" so I grabbed her hand and we ran in for the finish.
So I was delighted as it looked like we'd both managed to grab a PB and finish together at about 55:20.
Then the times come in and Rachs time is 55:19 and mine is 55:21. I'm still mad to this day.
I managed to follow this up with a 26:17 at a Great Run Local. Martin and I also went for a look to see if the horse Rach possibly killed was there
He wasnt.
With mileage upping the next few weeks would become a record every week it felt like, starting with a 16.2 km run on the 26th
As usual I was always chasing Rach.
Runs – 20
Distance – 211 km
August saw us do 2 laps of the Pike which went well. We did it with my best man Top Dave who said he thought it was a stupid challenge and he'd never do it (despite him being the fastest Iron Man I know).
We'd then take a trip up to Newcastle where we managed to do a run n a thursday up and down the Tyne, then on the Saturday get all the family out on a parkrun after a heavy night on the disaranno sours
As usual I was chasing Rach.
I didnt drink that night knowing what was to come. The next day Mark took us out on our long run which would be our longest so far at 17.8 km (10 miles). We got dropped off in Whitley Bay and ran all the way back to Uncle Colins.
This was probably the point where I started to get doubts. We really struggled, and when we got to 9 miles I felt dead. It didnt help that it felt like there were nae downhills in the toon like why aye man.
When we got home I was ill and had to take a few days off. Managed to get back out and do a 19k the next weekend with Rach and Dave, then thankfully had a roll back week.
We had become canal experts, spending lots of times running up and down them. The peak came at the end of August where we ran 22.5 km (14 miles). We'd officially done a half marathon distance for the first time. We ran from Home up to Old Trafford, to town and then back home. I think my strava title for this summed it up. "Running hurts, Running sucks, Running is wonderful. 14 miles with PAIN at the end"
Runs – 19
Distance – 236 km
September was uneventful. Oh no wait, we had a half marathon! But first a training run with Martin
Then we'd be ready for the half. My plan when we started training was I wanted to finish in sub 2 hours, but as the training had gone on I was starting to doubt it more and more.
I had roped Top Dave (fastest Iron Man I know) to run it with me. The night before he turned up and we planned a full strategy. Set off at a nice pace and try to run a negative split (so run the second half faster). We even pulled up a plan of the route and its elevation, so we knew the 7 mile mark was the peak of the elevation. We were going to walk through each water station and drink and then pick up the running again. We were primed and ready. The next morning we got there, started and well. It went amazingly. We stuck to plan to perfection.
1 hour 56minutes and 69 seconds. The plan went to absolute perfection, having Dave with me kept me focused and at times I was even carrying him along. In the course of this we even knocked out a pb for 10k (52:54).
The week after we had to run an 18 miler. Mileage was getting mad.
October 2015
Runs – 14
Distance – 162.8 km
October saw the peaks of our long runs, with 20 mile runs twice in the month. The first one was after mum came up to Manchester and ran a park run with us on the Saturday where we all pretty much got PBs – with me smashing out of nowhere a 25:21!!!
The day after we had to do 20 miles so went out with our Camelpacks. We started the run with Mum, who was going to do the first two and a half with us then turn round and go home. Only she decided to leave us for dead as we were too slow
This was a run where Rach had her first training breakdown at 11 miles. She was teary and saying she didnt think she could do it, and I was trying to work out if it would be ok to get mum to pick her up and let me finish my run. Thankfully she got through it. You can tell she was suffering because I even managed to come in front on a selfie.
A week later we did 3 laps of the Hell of a Hill. It still felt like lunacy.
Then I bought some new leggings. Rach had bought some from a site called Tikiboo and I messaged them to see if they did mens sizes. They said they didn't, but they could tell me the equivalent size in ladies. So I ended up purchasing ladies leggings.
We did our final long run of 20 miles and that was October done with!
November 2015
Runs – 8
Distance – 97.7 km
The first time since Feb that I did less than 10 runs in a month. We started the month with 4 laps of Hell of a Hill. I figured if we could get halfway we could get all the way.
It was a pretty comfortable run which was surprising and boded well.
In the last few weeks training became hard as work went mad and it became difficult to squeeze in. So we came to the marathon.
I've written a full review of the marathon here so I don't want to bore you anymore than I have on this 2500+ word review, but lets just say we smashed it, but there were tears and pain and happiness.
After the 7 hour slog I didnt run for the rest of the month
Runs – 5
Distance – 25.6 km
It took till December 5th to be able to run again. A cheeky park run at Warrington where a sprint finish saw Martin just pip me to finish 29:59 while I finished on 30:00. The bugger.
Aside from that december was a dull month, we did the Stretford Parkrun for the first time, and then on Christmas Day did a park run at Brueton on Christmas day
Then one more on Boxing day in Wales with my family for our last run of the year!
Final round up of stats for you!
Totals – 143 runs
Distance 1282.9 km
Parkruns done – 35
Most parkruns – Warrington (10)
5k – 25:21
10k – 55:21
Half Marathon – 1hr 56mins 59 seconds
Marathon – 7 hours and 2 minutes
Goals for 2016
- Finish another marathon – in less than 4 and a half hours if possible!
- Get the 5k pb under 25 minutes.
- Get the 10k pb under 52 minutes.
- Do at least 2 half marathons.
- More than 150 runs
- Bigger distance than 2015

AT this moment, Jeremy Corbyn is not exactly the toast of Tirana. He provoked a furious response in the Albanian capital by quoting the country's former Stalinist dictator, Enver Hoxha, at Labour's Christmas party.
Mr Corbyn has taken a global kicking for his remarks, especially in our own media, but his critics are wrong to imagine that he approved of Enver Hoxha. The quotation actually holds Hoxha to ridicule.
I can say this with confidence because I discovered it (in translation) and can claim to be the first person to make use of it in this country. Enver promised his people on New Year's Day 1967 that "this year will be harder than last year. On the other hand, it will be easier than next year".
There are many possible explanations for Hoxha's remark. It may have been a piece of ruthless honesty, like the manifesto of King Reheboam to the people of Israel in the Old Testament: "My father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
Perhaps Hoxha was set up by a subversive translator on the English service of Radio Tirana. But the likeliest explanation is that he made a complete prat of himself, like his contemporary Marshal Costa e Silva, the hardline right-wing ruler of Brazil, who said: "When the military took over, the country was teetering on the edge of a precipice, but now we have moved confidently forward."
The Albanian reaction to Mr Corbyn is understandable. Hoxha was a demented tyrant who ruled his country by starvation and spying. At his zenith, one third of all Albanians were members of his hated secret police, the Sigurimi – trying to escape his gulags by denouncing the other two-thirds. I visited Albania in 1992, seven years after his death, and met a man who had spent 30 years in a gulag for not cheering hard enough at a Hoxha speech.
However, it is no disrespect to Hoxha's victims to mock the old brute today. Mockery diminishes him – not them. It will do more than anger to destroy his reputation and forestall any revived cult of Hoxha. It was therefore encouraging in 1992 to see caricatures of Hoxha and read parodies of his turgid and unsellable collected works.
Millions of Russians, encouraged by their present ruler, have become nostalgic for Stalin, an even worse ruler than Hoxha. It would be useful to remind them that Stalin was not only vicious but incompetent and oafish – and that he enjoyed listening to gramophone records of singing cats and dogs.
Tyrants can stand any amount of loathing so long as they are feared. But they cannot survive ridicule, which destroys respect and obedience. Nicolae Ceauşescu of Romania, another Communist dictator in the Hoxha mould, discovered this in 1989 when he thought he could survive the fall of Communism elsewhere.
He and his harpie consort wife went to harangue protestors in the capital, Bucharest. They knew that the game was up when they heard people mocking them, and took flight. The army and the police deserted them and they were soon captured and executed.
In Britain, we have a long tradition of mocking rulers, whether our own or those of other countries. Richard III was taunted to good effect by his enemies on the eve of Bosworth. The Elizabethans mocked Philip of Spain during the Armada. They mocked the Pope, whom most of them regarded as an existential threat to their state. Later Britons mocked the French Revolution's leaders, and Napoleon, but they also mocked George III and his governments at home. Britons mocked the Boer leaders. They mocked Kaiser Bill. Above all, they mocked Hitler, without ever forgetting his evil.
Jeremy Corbyn has every right to be part of this tradition, but he must learn to do this more skilfully. Comedy and satire are much more demanding than indignation and he should have prepared his material carefully. Some reports suggested that he omitted the punchline of the Hoxha quotation, which would make it much harder to convey its idiocy.
Even without this error, Jeremy Corbyn took a huge risk in attempting irony. Hordes of people, especially in his own party, are eager to denounce anything he says. They invariably interpret him literally and ruthlessly ignore any subtext. But he should continue his quest to join the nation's taunters. It is a better style for him, or any leader, than robotic indignation.
As an exercise, Jeremy Corbyn should now look at a picture of Donald Trump. He must suppress the urge to denounce him or join the call for a ban (which will actually help Trump among American voters). Instead, he should think of some zingers about Mr Trump's horrific hair.
Richard Heller was formerly chief of staff to Denis Healey.

Anti Candida Recipes
Coconut Muffins.
Here are a few yeast free recipes that you can try at home. Coconut Muffins are a sweet treat that can be eaten on the candida diet. You can eat them for breakfast or for an afternoon snack.
3 Eggs
2 TBSP of melted Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil
Quarter Teaspoon of Sea Salt
Quarter Agave Nectar or any other sweetener such as xylitol or stevia ( I sometimes use 20 drops of liquid stevia)
Quarter cup sifted coconut flour
Quarter TSP of aluminum free baking flour
3 TBSP of dried and unsweetened shredded coconut.
- Firstly preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
- Grease some muffin trays with coconut oil and set aside
- In a small bowl beat the eggs, coconut oil,agave nectar syrup and salt together. Then combine the coconut flour and baking powder together with a whisk to form a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the muffin trays but only fill it half full. Then sprinkle some shredded coconut on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 15 - 2- minutes or until golden brown.
An Anti Candida Recipe That The Whole Family Can Enjoy
Roasted Herb Chicken.
Having a roasted herb chicken is a great way to share a meal with the family and also great for the candida diet.
This herb chicken can be cooked in a crockpot,slow cooker or in your oven.
1 TBSP of Olive Oil
1 TSP of Paprika
Half TSP of Garlic
Half TSP of Sea Salt
Half TSP Dried Thyme
Half TSP of Dried Basil
1 Whole Chicken
Half Cup of Chicken Broth
- In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the broth. And rub the ingredients over the chicken.
- Place the chicken in a crockpot,slow cooker or oven.
- Then add the chicken broth
- Cover and cook on a low temperature for approximately 4 - 5 hours. The slow cooker may need to go in longer.
I think the muffin recipe is missing some liquid. The batter was not at all pourable I had to spoon it in, it did not flatten like a muffin and had no flavor. Any comments or suggestions.
I also am confused at the sweetener for this recipe.....Clarification pretty please :-)
Yes the sweetener just says quarter. Id love to make these too!
The sweetener measurements a bit confusing to me. How much Stevia you add for the coconut muffins?? I'm so interested in making this recipe.
I searched tugohrh several publications on Candida, both online and printed materials, and nothing compares to the extraordinary, invaluable information packed into this book. I wanted something that contained the following: Explained what Candida is; Possible causes; Symptoms of Candida and closely related health problems; How to treat it naturally as well as tugohrh traditional medicine; Candida diet recipes.A Candida diet was always difficult to find since many sources contradicted one another and/or contained food sensitivities while offering no alternatives. This book explains these contradictions, offers plenty of food alternatives, and guides you tugohrh the phases of your healing process. Best of all, the RECIPES TASTE SPECTACULAR! I was amazed at how delicious everything has been thus far, not to mention easy to prepare. Each dish has loads of flavor, making this diet seem not like a diet at all.This book truly is a gift for someone who needs a complete, informative reference with a wealth of wonderful recipes to get them on track to recovering from Candida. Highly recommended!
I really codunl't ask for more from this article.
According to the Wellness Educator at an alternative medicine center, not only can you not only eat sugar if you have a yeast overgrowth, but you also cannot eat anything sweet (including stevia), regardless if it contains sugar or not. However, I see many, many anti-candida diet recipes, including yours, on Pinterest, which call for stevia. What are your thoughts on this? Can someone on an anti-candida diet have stevia or not?

2004 GMC Yukon XL Reviews and Ratings
Utility C1500 SLT 2WD
NADAguides Consumer Review
Be the first to review this 2004 GMC Yukon XL.
Rate This Vehicle
My Rating
My Review
Expert Reviews ( 1 )
The Yukon XL is GMC's version of the Chevy Suburban. It's a well-equipped vehicle and a good choice for families of six or more. The Yukon XL offers comfortable seating for six people and can be equipped to seat up to nine. It's a good choice for families who find themselves needing three rows of seats on a daily basis. Even when fully loaded with people, there's space left over for large amounts of gear.
Where the Yukon XL really comes into its own, however, is when heavy-duty towing is needed. A standard Yukon XL 2WD 1500 model is rated to tow trailers of up to 8,400 pounds. A Yukon XL 2500, the heavy-duty model, is rated to pull a 12,000-pound trailer. This makes the Yukon XL an excellent choice for families with boats or horses.
Though identical in many respects, there are differences between the Suburban and the Yukon XL. The GMC is generally more upscale in its appointments than the Chevrolet; the Yukon XL offers a higher level of comfort and convenience features than the Suburban. The Yukon XL Denali is an upscale model that combines a big 6.0-liter V8 with an all-wheel-drive system, a combination not available at your Chevy dealer. Styling cues distinguish the GMC from the Chevrolet.
Revisions for 2003 brought improved brakes, smarter airbags, a modernized electrical system, and improved interior features. For 2004, the Yukon XL is better and safer still. It comes with a tire-pressure monitor and a seatbelt reminder for the driver and front-seat passenger. New Hydroboost brakes promise improved stopping power, even if the engine stalls.Model Lineup
GMC Yukon XL is available with two-wheel drive ($37,960) or four-wheel drive ($40,660) or, in the case of the Denali, all-wheel drive.
Yukon XL comes in two load ratings: Most popular is the 1500, the standard light-duty model, rated to tow trailers up to 8400 pounds. The heavy-duty 2500 2WD ($39,460) and 2500 4WD ($42,160) are rated to pull trailers up to 12,000 pounds. Unless you plan to pull that much trailer, however, we recommend the 1500 model for its lower cost, better fuel economy, and smoother ride quality.
A 5.3-liter V8 powers Yukon XL 1500 models (SLE, SLT, and SLT Plus trim). A 6.0-liter V8 comes standard on Denali and 2500 models. An 8.1-liter V8 ($850) is optional for 2500 models, and delivers 440 pounds-feet of torque for maximum towing capability. All Yukon XLs come with an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission.
Both the 1500 and 2500 models are available in basic SLE or more deluxe SLT or SLT Plus trim. The top of the line is the Yukon XL Denali, which is a 1500.
The base SLE model is a well-equipped vehicle. It comes with cloth upholstery, manual dual-zone air conditioning, anti-lock brakes (ABS), self-leveling suspension, CD stereo with eight speakers, power windows, power door locks, fog lights, tinted glass, heated outside mirrors, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and alarm. Three rows of seats are standard. The front seat is a 40/20/40 split bench with six-way power adjustments for the driver.
SLT is technically a package ($3,290) that adds bucket seats with leather inserts, tri-zone automatic climate control, a nine-speaker Bose premium stereo, rear-seat audio controls, and assist steps (running boards).
SLT Plus ($5,415) adds to that Ultrasoft leather seating surfaces; full-function power (including power lumbar support) for the front bucket seats with seat heaters and a two-position memory function; outside mirrors with turn indicators and ground illumination (puddle lamps); auto-dimming for the driver's side outside mirror; Driver Information Center (including a trip computer); power-adjustable pedals; OnStar; a Homelink universal transmitter (for garage doors); six-disc in-dash CD changer; XM Satellite Radio; steering wheel controls for the audio system; and the Cargo Package with cargo shade, cargo net, cargo mat, luggage rack center rails.
Yukon XL Denali ($50,960) is loaded with luxury features, along with the bigger engine, a sophisticated full-time all-wheel-drive system, StabiliTrak stability control, and AutoRide suspension with self-leveling and two-position dampening. Denali is distinguished by unique exterior design cues.Walkaround
The GMC Yukon XL is a long-wheelbase version of the Yukon, just as the Suburban is a long-wheelbase version of the Chevy Tahoe. XL means extra long: Yukon XL is based on the same platform as the Yukon, but it's stretched 14 inches in wheelbase and about 20 inches overall. While the Yukon can carry a lot of people or a lot of cargo, the Yukon XL can do both at the same time. The Yukon XL also offers a bigger towing capacity.
Yukon XL is conservatively styled. GMC takes a more sophisticated, more understated approach to design than Chevrolet. Still, the Yukon XL shares the unmistakable profile of the 'Burb.
Denali trades the standard Yukon XL's black grille for a bright mask of fine-metal mesh, but then swaps the base model's chrome bumpers for body-color bumpers, keeping the overall flash level about equal. Round fog lights are neatly tunneled into the lower part of Denali's unique front bumper. Cladding adorns the lower body, running down the sides and incorporating the front and rear stone guards; the Denali's cladding is oddly shaped, but blends nicely into the color-keyed running boards.
Quadrasteer does not improve the appearance of the Yukon XL, as ungainly fender flares are added to the rear quarters to accommodate the significantly wider track (the distance between the rear wheels).
Yukon XL offers a choice of liftgate or split cargo doors for the rear. The liftgate comes standard and features a glass section that opens independently. Made of lightweight aluminum, the liftgate is convenient for quickly adding and removing cargo and offers better rearward visibility than the cargo doors, which block the view in the center where the doors meet. Cargo doors work better for work vehicles as they open wide and allow a closer working position to the vehicle's storage area. Cargo doors are also useful when pulling trailers because they will usually clear the trailer tongue jack. The hinges can be released, allowing the doors to open fully when loading large items. Most people find the liftgate preferable, however. Yukon XL Denali comes only with the lift-up hatch.Interior
For moving people and cargo, you can't beat the GMC Yukon XL and Chevrolet Suburban. They are the leaders when it comes to seating and cargo capacity (discounting the Ford Excursion, which is being discontinued). Big inside, the Yukon XL is very roomy and, for the most part, comfortable.
The exception is the seats. GM's bucket seats are big and cushy, but I don't always find them comfortable. The seat bottoms lack support, especially on the sides, and the seat bottoms don't seem long enough. Owners often disagree with this assessment, however. Bucket seats are standard on SLT and Denali models an optional on the SLE. The standard front seat setup in Yukon XL is a three-passenger, manually reclining 40/20/40 split bench with dual manual lumbar support and six-way power for the driver. They are similar in terms of comfort. Yukon XL comes standard with nice custom cloth upholstery. The optional Ultrasoft leather makes this big truck look and feel like a luxury vehicle.
The bucket seats are separated by a deep center console that holds lots of stuff. The top of the console lid features a nice rubber-lined indention, handy for sunglasses and other items. It would be even better if the rubber was an insert that could be removed for cleaning. It would be better still if the top of the console wasn't angled forward: Lay a clipboard there and it'll slide off.
Ergonomics are otherwise excellent. The cup holders are superb, a good feature for people who live and work in their vehicles. Above are well-designed map lights that can be aimed. A covered power outlet is conveniently located for cell phones and radar detectors, in addition to the cigar lighter inside the ashtray compartment.
The Driver Information Center was redesigned last year, and is now located immediately in front of the driver, below the speedometer. It's handy and easy to use, allowing the driver to program automatic locking and other features, as well as providing trip mileage, fuel economy and other data. Hate the way the doors lock every time you shift out of Park? Annoyed that the horn blows when you lock the doors? Don't want the daytime running lamps on? Turn those features off, turn them on, or deploy them partially. Everything is programmable.
Audio and climate control systems are well designed and easy to operate. The heating and air conditioning systems were redesigned for 2003 to deliver faster warm-ups and cool-downs than before. The manual heating controls that come on the base model (SLE) are nicely designed and work well. Much better, however, are the digital three-zone climate controls that come on the other models. They are sophisticated yet easy to operate, and permit separate adjustments for driver and passenger. The rear heating/air conditioning controls are mounted overhead and help improve comfort for pets as well as people.
A new tire-pressure monitoring system added for 2004 continuously checks inflation pressures and flashes a warning on the instrument cluster should any tire lose air pressure. The entire electrical system was modernized for 2003, eliminating thick bundles of wires and hundreds of connections for improved reliability, increased sophistication, and easier repair.
XM Satellite Radio is a great option to have when traveling because the stations don't change as you drive across the country. You still get ads, but fewer and less obnoxious than what you hear on FM. Audio controls on the steering wheel make it easy to switch among station presets and modes, among other things. Program the AM, FM1, FM2, XM1, and XM2 bands and you can quickly zip to your favorite stations without taking your hands off the wheel. XM Satellite Radio is nice to have around town for listening to the 24-hour news broadcasts (FoxNews, CNN) and sports broadcasts (ESPN, NASCAR) or for staying tuned into your favorite types of music (classical, jazz, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s).
Buttons for Homelink, which can open garage doors and gates and turn on house lights, and for the OnStar telematics system, are nicely integrated. GM's OnStar security and information service works well as a navigation system because there's nothing to program. Press the button and a human operator responds, to provide directions and other assistance. OnStar always knows the location of your vehicle. They will notify authorities of your location if your airbag goes off and you do not respond to their calls. Or you can press the emergency button and they'll send out the troops. They can unlock your doors if you lock the keys inside. They can direct you to the nearest gas station or help find a good restaurant or motel. If your vehicle is stolen, OnStar can pinpoint its location and direct the authorities to apprehend and recover.
The second-row bucket seats ($490) are supremely comfortable. They recline and somehow seem more supportive and more comfortable than the front seats. If four adults plus two children is the maximum you'll ever need to carry, then we'd recommend the second-row bucket seats. If you want room for three in the second row, however, the standard second-row bench seat gives you more versatility.
A pair of ceiling vents is provided on each side of the second row that can be aimed effectively. The driver controls the rear passengers' temperature and fan speeds and can direct the air to upper or lower vents or both. Most models come with a great pair of second-row cup holders that flip out of the back of the center console. Immediately above those are separate audio controls for the rear-seat passengers (if so equipped). The available wireless headphones are comfortable and sound good. The optional Panasonic DVD system ($1,295) is impressive, featuring a crisp monitor that allows second- and third-row occupants to watch movies and other programming while underway or parked.
The third-row bench seat is fine for kids or short trips, but not that comfortable for adults on longer trips. Knee room is tight. There's little hip room, and the center of the bench lacks support, causing occupants to lean toward the center. Still, it's far better than the third-row seats in the Yukon, Tahoe, and other SUVs. Third-row seating doesn't get much better than this, in other words. Cup holders are provided and overhead vents can be aimed for heating and air conditioning, important because the rear side windows cannot be opened. Three-point seat belts are provided and are nicely designed and easy to use. As with the other rows, the seat belts are integrated into the seats. There is a lap belt in the center of the third row, but putting three people back there is optimistic, as the third row is considerably narrower than the first two rows. Getting into the third row is a bit challenging. Third-row passengers will require assistance to get in or out as someone will have to move the second-row seats out of the way for them.
Cargo space abounds in the Yukon XL. There's 45.7 cubic feet behind the third row, which is a lot. By comparison, a standard-length Yukon or Tahoe provides just 16.3 cubic feet, while a Ford Expedition offers 20.6 cubic feet behind the third row. Fold the Yukon XL's third-row seatback down, then tumble the seat forward and you'll have a lot more storage capacity, and you can still carry four to six people, depending on the seating package. Remove the third row and put it in the garage for 90 cubic feet of cargo room. Finally, flip up the second-row seat bottoms, fold the seatback down, then flip the folding carpeted platform backward, and you're looking at a flat floor with 131.6 cubic feet of space, great for runs to the home-improvement center or big outdoor outings. This is one of the few vehicles that offers comfortable sleeping accommodations, a benefit when fatigue takes over on that long drive home after a day afield.Driving Impressions
Yukon XL 1500 offers a smooth, comfortable ride. It's built on a rigid platform, which plays a key role in the Yukon XL's ride and handling.
The standard Premium Smooth Ride suspension in the 1500 models soaks up large potholes and rough terrain. The independent front suspension flattens the most rugged terrain, so passengers feel coddled, while the solid rear axle allows impressive towing capability. Yukon XL boasts an impressive turning radius given its mammoth proportions, useful for crowded parking lots, U-turns, and off-road driving.
AutoRide is an optional suspension package that automatically varies shock damping according to driving conditions. Whether riding empty, carrying a full load of people, or towing a horse trailer, AutoRide continually adjusts the suspension for optimum ride and handling. This technology also helps reduce dive on braking (so that the nose of the vehicle doesn't dip down unduly) and body roll (lean) during cornering.
Quadrasteer muddies this pleasant picture. A Yukon XL 2500 with Quadrasteer delivered a rough ride on I-405, a rippled, bumpy highway in Los Angeles. Quadrasteer requires heavier suspension components to support all of the extra equipment on the rear axle. Also, 2500 models come with light-truck tires, rather than passenger-car tires. Adding some heavy cargo would likely improve the ride, but we don't think we'd want to put up with the jounciness of the heavy-duty suspension on a daily basis unless we needed to tow heavy trailers. (Conversely, we enjoyed a much more pleasant ride from a GMC Sierra Denali pickup with Quadrasteer.)
Responsiveness from each of the three available V8 engines is excellent. Most people will find the standard 5.3-liter V8 a great companion. The 6.0-liter that comes on the Denali and heavy-duty 2500 models feels and sounds powerful when accelerating onto the freeway.
The transmission features a Tow/Haul mode that improves performance while towing through mountainous terrain. Pressing a switch on the end of the gearshift lever changes the shift points of the automatic transmission. The Tow/Haul mode also lessens wear on the transmission by reducing heat buildup. It does this by holding the transmission in each gear longer before up-shifting, and then shifting up more abruptly to reduce heat buildup.
The brakes work very well, with easy modulation, good pedal feel, and good stopping power, even on heavy-duty 2500 models. A dynamic proportioning system continuously balances the front and rear brakes for maximum effectiveness. The brake system was upgraded for 2003 for improved performance and pedal feel. For 2004, the system was further upgraded for improved performance in high-deceleration stops, and improved anti-lock performance; this new Hydroboost system relies on hydraulic pressure rather than engine vacuum to reduce braking pressure. Hyrdoboost brakes also require less pedal force during high-deceleration stops and improve pedal effort and "feel" during normal operation.
StabiliTrak is a valuable option that could save your life someday, or at least reduce your chance of stuffing your big Yukon XL into a ditch. StabiliTrak is an electronic anti-skid system that compares the driver's intended path with the vehicle's actual path, and adjusts engine torque and applies the brakes to any of the four individual wheels to help bring the vehicle back under control. Sophisticated sensors monitor the suspension, steering, antilock brake and traction control systems, constantly measuring steering angle, wheel speeds, brake pressure, lateral and longitudinal acceleration and yaw rate (the vehicle rotation rate, such as when cornering).
Yukon XL 4WD models use a part-time four-wheel-drive system GM calls Autotrac. Shift Autotrac into 4WD Hi, and it locks the front and rear axle speeds together, for the traditional kind of four-wheel drive that is considered best for serious off-road driving. However, pressing a button switches the system to an Auto 4WD mode that automatically shifts torque between the front and rear wheels as conditions demand, an arrangement that's good for wet pavement, gravel roads, or inconsistent conditions. A 4WD Lo setting provides an ultra-low gear for creeping through deep sand, deep mud, deep snow or up or down steep grades. Autotrac was revised for 2003 for more fuel-efficient operation in 2WD mode, and for improved feel in the Auto mode when turning corners at low speeds. Shifting among the four-wheel-drive modes is as easy as turning on the radio, and is accomplished with four buttons mounted on the left side of the instrument panel.
A locking rear differential is optional, and a good idea for heavy snow or serious off-road driving.
Denali's full-time all-wheel-drive system requires no input from the driver. It's a great system in inconsistent conditions (patches of snow and ice, gravel and pavement) because it transfers power to the wheels with the best traction.
Towing a really heavy trailer? A 1500 model is plenty for pulling a car trailer or a light boat trailer, but you may want to look at the 2500 models if you have a heavy load to pull and you pull it often. On the other hand, the 1500 model comes with torsion bars up front and coil springs in the rear, which filter road vibration much better than leaf springs in the rear of the 2500 model.
Quadrasteer ($1,995) gives the Yukon XL 2500 vastly improved maneuverability in tight quarters. By turning the rear wheels opposite the direction of the front wheels, this four-wheel-steering system reduces the curb-to-curb turning diameter from the standard 44.3 feet to 36.5 feet, an improvement of about 20 percent. That's a huge difference when maneuvering in crowded parking lots and public garages, and it allows a U-turn in places that previously required backing up. Quadrasteer becomes even more important when towing trailers. It greatly improves control when backing, eliminating trial and error runs. It also allows you to move a trailer into spots where you could not physically do so without it. It's well worth considering by anyone who frequently pulls trailers.Summary
GMC Yukon XL moves people and gear like nothing else and has no peers among sport-utilities when it comes to towing. If you have lots of cargo or pull heavy trailers you'll appreciate the Yukon XL.
But this is a big truck based on a full-size pickup platform. If you simply need to carry four kids around, you'd be better served by a minivan.

Numerous Traffic Accident Fatalities in Marion County, Florida Raise Concerns
Marion County, Florida – The number of people who have been killed in traffic-related crashes (including automobile accidents, truck accidents and motorcycle accidents) in Marion County so far this month is startling.
Eight traffic related deaths have been reported already this month by the Florida Highway Patrol and the Ocala Police Department. There were only five fatalities during the entire month of February last year and only six in during that month in 2006.
The Florida Highway Patrol has recorded 18 deaths arising from motor vehicle accidents from Jan. 1 through Feb. 14. They only recorded seven fatalities between January 1st and February 15th in 2006 and 12 in 2007.
FHP Captain Jeff Succi said that there was no pattern to the fatal crashes and no specific location where they occurred.
Captain Succi was reminded of 2003 which was a particularly bad year for traffic homicides. In that year, 15 people were killed in vehicle crashes within the county during the month of February. Traffic related fatalities reached a record 119 that year.
Succi said, drivers and passengers should always wear seat belts because they can reduce the severity of injuries in the event of an accident. He also cautioned that drivers should avoid being in a hurry.
The Florida accident lawyers at our firm handle all types of transportation accident cases throughout the state of Florida.

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
A healthy lifestyle, including more veggies and no smoking, was linked with a lower risk of developing heart failure, researchers found.
Not smoking, having a normal weight, getting at least a moderate amount of exercise, and eating vegetables at least three times a week were all significantly associated with a lower risk of developing the condition, according to Gang Hu, MD, PhD, of Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La., and colleagues.
The risk decreased significantly for men and women with each additional risk factor (P<0.001 for trend), they reported online in Circulation: Heart Failure.
Men who had only one of the healthy factors, for example, had a 32% lower risk of heart failure, but those with all four of the factors had a 70% lower risk. The numbers for women were 47% for one healthy factor and 81% for all four.
"Although each of these four modifiable lifestyle factors has been shown to be independently associated with the risk of heart failure in various studies, the general public does not have enough awareness of these associations, and the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle continues to be high," Hu and colleagues wrote.
"Therefore, in order to reduce the incidence of heart failure, more efforts should be put into promoting healthy lifestyles and their associated health benefits," they concluded.
The researchers examined data from 18,346 men and 19,729 women, ages 25 to 74, who participated in one of five different population-based surveys conducted in Finland from 1982 to 2002. All of the participants were free from heart failure at baseline. They reported various lifestyle behaviors at using a self-administered questionnaire.
During a median follow up of 14.1 years, 638 men and 445 women developed heart failure, according to national registry data.
Four modifiable lifestyle factors -- body mass index (BMI), smoking, physical activity, and vegetable intake -- were included in the study. Each was classified as healthy or unhealthy.
The healthy factors were:
- Having a BMI of less than 25
- Not currently smoking
- Getting at least a moderate amount of exercise at work or during leisure time
- Eating vegetables three or more times per week
All four factors were associated with a lower risk of heart failure, consistent with previous studies.
The strongest predictor of developing heart failure was current smoking, yielding hazard ratios (HR) of 1.86 (95% CI 1.51 to 2.30) for men and 2.09 (95% CI 1.59 to 2.74) for women.
For both genders, the risk of heart failure dropped with a greater number of healthy behaviors.
After adjustment for age, education, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and histories of MI, valvular heart disease, diabetes, and use of antihypertensives, the HRs for heart failure for men were as follows:
- One healthy behavior: 0.68 (95% CI 0.54 to 0.86)
- Two healthy behaviors: 0.44 (95% CI 0.35 to 0.57)
- Three healthy behaviors: 0.33 (95% CI 0.24 to 0.45)
- Four healthy behaviors: 0.30 (95% CI 0.16 to 0.54)
The corresponding HRs for women were:
- One healthy behavior: 0.53 (95% CI 0.33 to 0.85)
- Two healthy behaviors: 0.42 (95% CI 0.27 to 0.67)
- Three healthy behaviors: 0.24 (95% CI 0.14 to 0.40)
- Four healthy behaviors: 0.19 (95% CI 0.09 to 0.40)
The researchers estimated that 45.6% of new heart failure cases could have been prevented if all of the participants in the study had three of the four healthy behaviors. That percentage would rise to 53.6% if all participants had all four healthy behaviors.
Because the calculation assumed the relationship between the lifestyle factors and heart failure were causal, however, the findings "should be interpreted with caution," Hu and colleagues wrote.
They acknowledged some limitations of their study, including the use of self-reported information on lifestyle factors that was measured at baseline only and the identification of heart failure cases using administrative databases. Other limits included possible residual confounding and the equal weighting of the four lifestyle factors when assessing their influence on heart failure risk.
