Improved Sound Clarity
Michael from Clear Lake, IA on 1/12/2023
I was skeptical of improvements to sound quality, but since I just purchased a Technics SL-1210GR turntable to go with my McIntosh amp and pre-amp, I thought upgrading the turntable cable was worth rolling the dice on since the cable was likely to be the weak link in the system. The installation of the Golden Gate cable resulted in improved sound clarity.
Pros: Improved sound clarity without investing in the more expensive turntable cables available.
Cons: None - satisfied with the results.

Do Cables make a Difference? Yes.
James from Naperville, IL on 9/8/2022
Never been a cable guy but looking for a way to add better sound quality on my Technics. One thing I hadn't tried was a cable upgrade. Once easily installed, I was really surprised at the sound quality. The cables did make a musical difference and a noticeable one at that. I was glad Trish had me go up one model higher, they really sound more open, clear, even details came out I hadn't heard before. Thank you, Crutchfield, and thank you Trish.

Crutchfield customer from Whittier, CA on 10/31/2021
Secure fastening and a chance to buy cables that are the correct length. They sound really good, but to be honest, do not hear the difference between these and the cheepo cables that were previously installed. I'm not one to spend hours exploring the differences in sound between different cables. On the other hand it's nice to not need to worry about the quality of the cables again. I'm done.

All in all very pleased with how much of a difference the Golden Gates made.

Quality Cable
Crutchfield customer from Candia, NH on 6/14/2021
Very well made cable. It has arrows so you know which direction it is best to connect it. Only negative (and it is sort of not a negative) is the left and right ends are labeled white & black instead of the traditional white and red. Also note if for some reason you need to spread the left and right ends of further than normal you cannot adjust where they split. Plenty of room for a standard connection though and I actually like that they are built with a solid piece where they split into the L & R. Expensive but nice knowing I have a quality cable connect my gear. The Golden Gate line seemed to fit my "not the entry level line in the AudioQuest brand but also not the crazy expensive end of their line either.

AudioQuest Golden Gate
Crutchfield customer from Sterling, MA on 4/28/2021
After 20+ years of being in storage, I decided to restore some of my old audio equipment so that could play some of my vintage vinyl records. I discovered that most of the original rca cables had become stiff and somewhat brittle after all the years in storage, so I decided to replace them and, in the process, I hoped to improve the sound quality. Now I have a degree in electronically engineering so I was a little skeptical about just how much, if any, improvements could be heard through my 57 year old ears. While I admit, electrical shielding and better quality components are definitely a plus and the cables look good and appear to be well made, but at the end of the day it's still just electrons flowing through a wire. I must admit I was surprised, the sound coming out of my Nad/Vanderstein system still sounds pretty sweet. I should point out that I did clean all my connections with isopropyl alcohol 99.9% (not the stuff the drug store sells) on both the component side and the new cables before hooking them up to remove any dirt, grime or oil residue. While I can't say whether the new cables or the cleaning caused the improvement in my sound, probably a little of both, but at the end of the day I'm pleased with my decision to purchase these cables even if they are kinda expensive.
Pros: Appear to be well made and the shorter 2ft length helps to eliminate the clutter behind the components
Cons: A little expensive but a worthwhile upgrade overall

Very high build quality. It's hard to tell if they make a difference in sound quality. I did not have other cables to compare them with. At 74$ they sit in a nice middle ground between average cable, and high end. I use them running from my phono-amp to amp.

Kind of disappointed
New Crutchfield customer from Altadena on 6/7/2020
I'm a new AudioQuest customer. I bought a pair of Golden Gate RCA to RCA interconnect cables from Crutchfield which I am running from my Yamaha CD-N500 player to my Yamaha R-S700 receiver. The instructions on the Golden Gate package says "for best sound use cable with arrow pointing to equipment INPUT". So I assumed this meant to have the arrows pointing to my receiver's input. In this configuration the sound was kind of muddy and not as clear as the cheap RCA cables I was replacing. So I reversed the Golden Gates so the arrows were pointing into my source CD Player thus away from the inputs on my receiver, and the sound improved distinctly but was still only equal to the cheap rca's I replaced.
Cons: Had to reverse the arrows away from my receiver inputs just to achieve sound barely equal to my cheap RCA's

Pretty Good Cables!
Aldric from Fultondale on 4/7/2020
Purchased these for a turntable to replace the cheap rca cables that came with it. I got started going down the rabbit hole after I kept getting lots of hum and feedback. I originally had some monobridge rca's connected, then switched out to the freebie cables and noticed the difference in sound. The humming quieted down with the freebie cables, the vocals cleared up, but the monobridge cables had more punch - at the cost of also being noisy. The Golden Gate cables encompassed all of the features mentioned above into one. The vocals were clear, they eliminated almost 90% of the humming, and they added some punch. I initially purchased the Evergreen series - but there were faulty and had lots of static. Crutchfield was great to exchange the Evergreens for the Golden Gate - but at a slightly discounted price. I played the same tracks on the same albums and listened to 3 sets of cables over several days. I could tell the difference, so could the wife. Some people will say that hyping cables is like selling snake oil (and I've never tried snake oil, but if it makes my system sound better, lol). I suggest you audition these cables and do a sound test like I did. They are not cheap, and maybe cables for less money would've given the same results. In any event, don't take my word for it, buy the cables and compare the sound differences for 59 days worry free. Everyone's ear will discern sound differently. By the way, the freebie cables came in 2nd place for my sound test.
Pros: Cleaner vocals More defined sound
Cons: Pricey!

Quality product! I thought I noticed a slight improvement from the AudioQuest Evergreen model ... might be "splitting hairs" in terms of being able to discern difference.

Slight Improvement in Smoothness
ROY from PARK CITY on 8/20/2019
Why not 5 stars? Well, because any cable costing this much should do something extra, like walk the dog, mow the yard or pour me a drink. Do they sound better than a $10 pair? Yes, but you need a very resolving system to hear the improvement. Even then, it won't knock your knickers off. Any cable under $100 that makes an audible improvement deserves four stars. Beyond that, I'm not sure what you'd have to spend but I guarantee it'd be a ludicrous amount.
Pros: Well-constructed Pretty colors Direction Arrows? Ooh, Ahh! Allows movement of electrons
Cons: Price One of the most counterfeited cable brands - hence you should buy from an authorized dealer.

sound is crisper than the toslink I was using. I purchase/download a lot of songs from Itunes and I constantly try to improve the overall quality. Upgrading my audio ,speaker and power cables over the years has made a delightful improvement . When you can get really old BEATLES songs to sound clear, precise, and distortion-free...you know your on the right track!!! The shorter the cable run is, the better... and having everything go through a good power conditioner will also make a difference.

Great cable!
Steve D. from Aldie, VA on 4/22/2016
I purchased two of these Golden Gate 1M RCA male-to-male cables and one 1M RCA male-to-male Big Sur (next step up from the Golden Gate). I'm using all three to connect Logitech Squeezebox digital music players to various receivers in different rooms. The Squeezebox has a very high end Burr-Brown DAC built right in, so I prefer using analog cables rather than rely on a receiver's DAC. The music input source is uncompressed WAV CD rips streamed from a NAS server in the basement with in-wall CAT6 transmission all the way. This is a fine little cable. It's very thin, flexible, and low-key. It clips on nice and tight. Sound quality is excellent. For all applications I was replacing 15-year-old Monster cables that were huge and bulky. Some people say they can't hear a difference between cable types, but some people also say they can't tell the difference between a WAV and a compressed MP3. I figure if I'm dropping several thousand on high-end audio, the least I can do is make sure my analog cables are high quality. Digital cables probably don't matter, but analog RCA does. I put the more expensive Big Sur in our main family room system (Yamaha receiver, Definitive Technology speakers) and the Golden Gates in the basement (Yamaha receiver / Bose and Klipsch speakers) and master bedroom (powered Mackie studio monitors).
Pros: Great sound Reasonable price Small, compact, single-line

excellent cables,noticeable difference from the factory cables that came with my project carbon turntable. the sound quality is amazing. wide sound field, whether i am playing Mozart to punk the sound is more life like as if i were at the concert. I noticed noise reduction compared with the stock cable. they sound this good and not broken in yet cant wait til then. And looks wise they are classy looking. So they look good and work great well worth the price. A must have in my opinion. As a matter a fact i up graded all my cables to audioquest from my turntable, cd player,tape deck eq. think of the cables as the highway for your music. (If you got a porsche you dont want to use a dirt road you want the autobahn.) thats what audioquest is.
Pros: everything from quality build to the looks
Cons: none

Not the like the old days
JohnL from California on 2/21/2015
I have had Audioquest cables for many years. Always great connectors. My first edition of "Diamondback" cables had excellent connectors. Later editions were just fine. These "Golden Gates" cables have very poor connectors ( at least for Marantz equip.). They are like vice-grips. Afraid they are going to pull out my inputs. The slender barrel type connectors were the best. This is all thru experience.
Pros: Pretty.
Cons: Poor engineering cable connectors.

AudioQuest Golden Gate 1M rca to rca male interconnects
Barry T. from Madison,Wi. on 10/26/2014
AudioQuest Golden Gate interconnect cables : 1M rca/rca male
Pros: Well built cable and cosmetically pleasing
Cons: Expensive! A-B comparison = My generic cables sound (if this is applicable) and the Golden Gate sound or not sound the same. We have an approx. three foot rca interconnect and my audiophile ears could not detect any nuances in sound (clarity, neutrality, distortion,soundstage etc.). . I purchased all AudioQuest products because they make a fine cable(and not insanely priced as some.) and they compliment my Vintage Gear. No complaints!

Spot on performance
jazzman from Roanoke on 6/18/2014
These cables are smooth sounding without being murky or having the effect of degrading the music quality. I have put more than 100 hours on them so I guess the break in is complete.
Pros: Performs as advertised
Cons: No drawbacks

Best investment for the money
jessea from Reedsburg, WI on 1/17/2014
The Audioquest Golden Gate cables are the best improvement you can make to your stereo or surround system. The difference between these and the old Nacamichi cables are like night and day. The sound quality is outstanding. It brings out the sound you never thought was there. They give you a great bang for the buck.

Not Worth Money
JohnM from West Milford NJ on 11/25/2013
This review is NOT towards crutchfield,Crutchfield shipped this very quickly and I received it within 2 days after I ordered it so 2 thumbs up for crutchfield and there team for great service...Now for audioquest,ive been a audioquest buyer and fan since the late 1990's until I changed over to monster cable due to cost so I decided to try out the new line of audioquest cables without going to a local retailer and looking at them up front.needless to say they DOWN GRADED the quality of there cables,these cables and other cables are thinner and they used CHEAPER rca connectors on them as compared to the older stuff (sidewinder,copperheads,topaz,etc).im very disappointed in the quality audioquest has put out recently in my opinion these cables are worth 25 bucks they down graded the quality but not the price,audioquest should continue like they had in the past and give the costumer what they paid for.im better off sticking with the monster cables they are thicker and have a way better rca connector on them for half the price,i have not hooked up the golden gates yet im deciding weather to send them back or keep them.again they are expensive cable compared to monster cables and monster cables givew you more for the money not like audioquest.
Pros: none
Cons: cable is thinner than older models,rca connectors are cheap,way over priced.

Cons: Pricy, but you get what you pay for.

pressurewelder from West Virginia on 9/11/2013
Have always had wonderful results with these. Have 4 sets now. I have noticed when I get a new set they take some time to sound as good as my old ones.
Pros: Build quality and price
Cons: You may think I'm nuts but expect a few hours break in time for full resolution and high end response.

Cons: None

Cable doe matter
Emmanuel from Lubbock, TX on 5/1/2013
I spoke to Josh & Daisy, two Crutchfield advisors. They convinced me of the quality of Audioquest cables. They were knowledgeable, patient and informative. And you know what they were right. This cable is a superb choice for anyone on a budget but not looking to compromise signal quality. I especially want to give a shout out to Daisy who gave me the idea to pair Infinity Primus Speakers with Marantz PM5004 Integrated Amp. She told me the warmth of the Marantz Amp will balance the brightness of the infinity. So far her suggestions have been spot on. Again, I failed to credit to credit Josh and Daisy when I made my last purchase from Crutchfield. Without their imput I would not have bought those gears on my last purchase. One last thing in regards to Audioquest. a lot of you are probably audiophiles like I am, in which case you would have heard of the record label "Music Matters". I recently read on their website that the reason they do all their remastering work at Acoustech facility is because all the cables and interconnect there are Audioquest wires. Think about it if Audioquest is good enough for the premiere record mastering facility in the country, it's probably good enough for your home Audio needs. What more can I tell you!
Pros: They use the same brand of wire at Acoustech to remaster the Music Matters Blue Note 45rpms
Cons: You thinking you can find a better wires at this price range

I've Been Missing Out
Michael B. from Mount Airy, N.C. 27030 on 4/24/2013
I've used Monster & Belkin.. I took a chance & spent $69.00 for a set of AudioQuest cables.Let me say this is the best investment I have made in my audio video system. The music sounds much more defined and the bass is tighter.Listening to myCD's is so much more enjoyable. Everyones system is different, but they made a difference for me.
Pros: This is a well made cable. Brings out the best in your sound source.
Cons: None

Braided cables
Rich from Oregon on 3/24/2013
Cables are easy to handle. The braiding helps with grip and control while installing. I do not hear the 60hz hiss that I hear with cheaper cables.
Pros: Shielding does work
Cons: One small white arrow to mark the white cable, hard to see when cramped trying to install multiple cables in a tight spot.

audioquest GoldenGate cables
Crutchfield customer from Newburgh,ny on 3/20/2013
I got the 3' length which is all i needed going from the cd player to the amp. The cables are very high quality and well worth the money. Its a shame they are in the back and can't be displayed as they are so nice looking.
Pros: Solid well made. Well shielded to transfer the sound without noise or interference. Nice to look at.
Cons: None at this time.

Great Cables
Drummer from Maineville, Oh on 7/22/2012
Outstanding cables for the price. They really produce true to life sound. Brilliant highs, dynamic bass, and everything in between is just sensational. AudioQuest knows their business and builds some of the finest cables anywhere. If you're looking for an economical way to improve the performance of an audio system, upgrading the cables is a must and these Golden Gates do just that. They match my NAD amp, NAD preamp, NAD turntable, Sony ES cd player, and Monitor Audio speakers perfectly. You can't go wrong with these cables.
Pros: Nice to get a .06 meter cable vs the standard .05 length for easier connecting in limited spaces. Also, cables are flexible, not rigid which makes installation a breeze.
Cons: None

|A small amount of ChapStick will substantially reduce the amount of sidespin generated by the ball, allowing you to hit the fairway just like Tiger. (Mike Bailey/WorldGolf.com)
Straight down the middle.
It went straight down the middle.
When "Der Bingle" first sang those lyrics, the heads of drivers were crafted out of persimmon wood and attached to less-than-perfectly-balanced shafts. The odds of a modern golfer hitting a fairway using one of those drivers are about the same as John Daly celebrating a 20th wedding anniversary - not so good.
But with today's technology of titanium heads and composite shafts, the odds have increased some for the average golfer. Still, unless your father's name was Earl Woods and you have a flat belly, it's likely your banana-ball will usually miss the fairway, prodigiously.
Now you could spend thousands of dollars on lessons and correct that slice, or you could pay $1.69 at the Circle K and purchase a tube of ChapStick instead. A small amount of ChapStick on the face of the driver will substantially reduce the amount of sidespin generated by the ball, allowing you to hit the fairway just like Tiger, albeit a hundred yards shorter. (Sorry, can't help you there.)
Of course, this is cheating in every sense of the word, and I'm not condoning it, just making you aware of it. I've never cheated in golf, and you're a dog to even think that I have. (That part was for my foursome.) It's extremely important that all golfers help maintain the integrity of the game as long as someone is watching you.
There are two types of cheating in golf: legal and illegal. Legally, you can cough or drop the flagstick near your opponent or rattle change in your pocket when he is putting. However, it's illegal to kick a ball out of the woods while your playing partners are preoccupied with the beer cart girl.
It's also illegal to mark a ball 6 inches closer to the hole or say you had a 5 when you really had a 6 on the hole. On that note, has any golfer, anywhere, ever said they had a 6 instead of a 5? I don't think it ever happened in golf history, unless Tom Watson did it once, who knows?
I once told my regular playing partner about a PGA Tour caddie who, when his pro was about to putt, whispered in his ear that he was the world's greatest putter. Since that time, my so-called friend constantly whispers in my ear, usually right before I putt to win a skin, that I'm the world's greatest putter. Naturally, I miss every putt when he does that, but that's not illegal, it's just mean.
Back to integrity: Right after the Scots first invented the game, they noticed there was so much blatant cheating in the sport that they needed to invent rules. Since then, the governing bodies, the likes of the Royal and Ancient and the USGA, have maintained the silly things.
If the powers to be had thought about it, they would have known you can't trust men who wear skirts to have any common sense.
I have to admit the modern touring pros are generally an honest bunch. They normally will call a penalty shot on themselves if a ball moves, or they shank a shot into their caddie's ribs. Unfortunately, weekend warriors are not quite as honorable. They generally will ignore small inconveniences like rules.
That's too bad; they should always try to emulate the professionals. Can you imagine Jack telling Arnie to put him down for double-par after leaving the ball in the Road Bunker four times?
If you honestly follow the USGA rules during your round of golf, your 87 will quickly turn into a 135. Think about it, if you roll the ball over in the fairway 20 times to improve your lie, that's 40 penalty strokes you should add to your score. Lose a ball in the woods and play it as a lateral hazard, and it's another 2 strokes.
So follow the rules of golf verbatim, and you'll be able to sleep at night with a clear conscience. You won't have any fun, but you'll sleep well.
Now it is true, most golf courses generally frown on cheating by its paying customers, but you can always tell which courses look the other way. They're the ones that provide pencils with erasers.

John J. White is not a bad golfer. He just plays one on the course. When he is not golfing, he is an engineer and freelance writer. He has won several awards for his short stories, and has been published in literary magazines. He is currently working on his fourth novel, "Nisei," and lives in Merritt Island, Florida with his understanding wife, editor and typist, Pamela.

BREAKING NEWS: OPERATION RESCUE 2015 (Read & Share)
DECLARING OPERATION RESCUE 2015...September 7-October 25
"And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."... Jude 1:22-23
The God of Wonder-Double has come to tabernacle with us as a church and we must stay awake spiritually to take full advantage of this divine visitation for our supernatural change of position both as individuals and as a church.
When God came down to Egypt, He did not only come to bring them out of bondage but also brought them into the land of promise, the land flowing with milk and honey. Their 40-year sojourn in the wilderness was indeed a time of Heaven on Earth adventure - Deut. 6:23
For example:
They did not need the light of the sun or the moon or candle; they had the pillar of cloud as light by day and the pillar of fire by night - Ex.13:21/Rev.22:5
¨ They were supernaturally fed on two meals a day without ploughing, planting or harvesting – Deut.8:6/ LK.22:29-30
¨ They enjoyed supernatural health – Ex. 15:26/ Deut.8:4/ Rev.21:4
¨ They enjoyed prosperity by the supernatural transfer of the wealth of Egypt to them – Ex.12:35-36/ Rev.21:10-11/21
¨ They commanded dominion all through their journey – Deut. 2:25/ Deut.11:25
In the same vein, this ongoing divine visitation is ordained to launch us into the realms of Heaven on Earth both as a church and as individuals. This is because Heaven on Earth is God's 'promised land' for us as a commission this year.
Therefore, every Winner must strive to enter into this realm by engaging actively in the prophetic life-line of Matthew 6:33 until it becomes the lifestyle of everyone f us, that is, seeking first the interests of the kingdom of God on earth so that everything that others are dying to get shall be added to us.
Jesus Christ, in one of the parables, spoke about a king that made a great feast and invited many and when all was set:
¨ He sent his servant to go and say to them that were invited that the feast was set, but one after the other, they gave excuses to the end that they would not be able to come.
¨ When his servant told him about the negative responses, the master of the house said to him to go to the streets and lanes of the city and bring in the poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind for the feast. But after this was done, this servant said to his master that he has done all that was commanded and yet there is room
¨ Then he said to his servant the third time, "go to the highways and the hedges and compel them to come that the house may be filled." – Lk.14:16-23
You will discover from this parable that the said servant went three times before the house was filled. This implied that 'once is not enough', and until there is no more room in the church, we must continue to invite, to bring and to compel men and women to come into the kingdom and s many as are ordained to eternal life shall respond as we compel them by love, faith, wisdom and intense prayers and intercessions.
In addition, from the testimony of David Yonggi Cho, the pastor of the reputed largest church congregation in the world, in his book titled, 'Ministering Hope for 50 Years,' Yonggi Cho wrote on how God taught him to be specific in his prayer for church growth. As a result, the church grew twice in attendance in two consecutive years, that is 1962 1963. Also, in response to his prayers, by the third year, the church grew four times in membership, that is, from 600 in 1963 to 2,400 in 1964!!
From the above testimony, we discover that it is not enough to pray and fast for church growth. We must be specific in our demands for growth. We did that in the first phase of the wonder-double prophetic agenda of June and July, and God honoured His word as a number of our churches even exceeded the 100% prophetic benchmark, to the glory of God.
In the light of the above, we shall again be invading our various territories with the two ever-winning forces of church growth, that is, the combined forces of prayer and reaching out to the lost.
We recognize that prayer and fasting constitutes the power house of supernatural church growth. In fact, a whole nation can be redeemed at once into the kingdom though the force of prayer and fasting – Is.66:7-8.
The truth is, we must reach out to the lost but the going will be only be fruitful through prayers, as it is written; "so that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together"- Jn.4:35-36
We sow spiritual seeds in prayers and we reap the harvest through soul-winning endeavours.
We recognize that multitudes are still in the valley of decision in our various territories, held hostage by the powers of darkness, some of which may never let go except by prayer and fasting – Joel 3:13-14/ Matt.17:20-21
In the light of the above, a 7-day prayer and fasting is hereby proclaimed from Monday 7th – Sunday 13th September, 2015.
We should also be reminded that apart from the explosive church growth results that this proclaimed fast will generate, it is also a platform for the empowerment of the believer into next levels, which is key to commanding supernatural breakthroughs in our lives – Acts 2:1-4/ Acts 4:23-33/ Is.45:1-3
But while the prayer goes up, the sickles must at the same time, be engaged to bring home the harvest and this is why we are going all out on a rescue mission to the multitudes that are in the valley of decision, who are heading for destruction without knowing. This is in line with the biblical directive: "And of some have compassion, making a difference: And of others save with fear, PULLING THEM OUT OF THE FIRE; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh." – Jude 1:22-23
Therefore, by the leading of the Holy Spirit and to the glory of God, we hereby flag off the second phase of the Wonder-Double Prophetic Agenda for the year tagged: 'Operation Rescue 2015' from Monday 7th September – Sunday 25th October 2015.
Therefore, in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, who is the Lord of the harvest, every local assembly in this Commission shall experience another supernatural wave of church growth so that within these Prophetic 7 weeks, that is, by Sunday 25th October 2015, every church in this commission shall be minimum double the August average Sunday attendance.
It shall be a holy invasion indeed across our various harvest fields, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen and amen.
Jesus is Lord.

Author Information: Erika Lower, Virginia Tech, firstname.lastname@example.com
Lower, Erika. 2013. "Review of David Toomey, Weird Life: The Search for Life That Is Very,Very Different from Our Own." Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective 2 (3): 6-7.
The PDF of the article gives specific page numbers. Shortlink: http://wp.me/p1Bfg0-Gr
David Toomey. Weird Life: The Search for Life That Is Very, Very Different from Our Own. Advance Copy. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2013, 288 pages.
Truth, as the saying goes, is often stranger than fiction, and nowhere is this concept better illustrated than in the study of biology itself. From apex predators to parasites, living things display a near-infinite diversity and ability to adapt to almost any environment. Indeed, the resilience of life has only been reinforced in recent decades with the discovery of extremophiles: organisms that thrive in conditions too hot, cold, toxic, or barren for most other creatures to survive. From chemosynthetic worms at the bottom of the ocean to bacteria that thrive in salt-saturated, boiling water to spores that can survive the irradiated vacuum of space, life as we know it can flourish in the most unexpected places.
What is truly amazing is that all of these organisms originated from a single genetic source: LUCA, the last universal common ancestor, a tiny single-celled creature from 3.5 billion years ago. Familiar life, all descended from this single common background, is strange enough — but some scientists believe that it may not be the only form of life in the universe. If non-LUCA life exists somewhere, how weird might that be?
David Toomey's Weird Life is a solid introduction to a field of study also referred to as alternative biology or unfamiliar life. Each chapter is devoted to exploring key questions in the field, including how life should be defined, how it might have come into being, and where life might exist within and outside of our solar system. Theories on extraterrestrial intelligence are also addressed, as well as concepts in quantum mechanics and even the influence of science fiction on the study of weird life.
Toomey incorporates elements of zoology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and even philosophy and theology in his investigation of alternative biology. This deliberately diverse source material is one of the book's greatest strengths: Weird Life's interdisciplinary nature makes it one of few books that could genuinely appeal to almost anyone. Wildlife scientists, software programmers, historians, and writers of science fiction will all find sections relevant to their miscellaneous interests. It is a rare book that can capture the attention of both experts and novices in any given subject, but Weird Life might just accomplish that challenge. A reader with limited scientific training and no prior knowledge of topics in alternative biology will be able to comfortably follow the discussion, but seasoned scientists will not be bored either.
Readers already familiar with case studies in weird life will be delighted to find that the book is not at all a rehashing of headlines in popular science. Stories about extremophiles, for instance, that have already entered popular knowledge, such as the deep sea life mentioned briefly in most high school biology courses, are explored in great depth and supplemented by engaging dialogue with experts. Much of the book is built around cutting-edge research and incorporates some of the newest and most revolutionary findings in a range of disciplines from astrophysics to molecular biology, and the numerous notes and cross-references will provide intrigued individuals with a wealth of future readings to investigate.
Those more interested in the fact-based than fanciful elements of weird life may be leery of the chapters on science fiction and physics so theoretical they seem like fantasy, but any concerns about the academic nature of the text are unfounded. To skeptics, alternative biology can easily slide into the realm of a Syfy channel special, but Toomey makes no tenuous claims and in fact draws attention to the very uncertainty engendered by his subject matter. He freely admits that almost everything in the book is theoretical, but that doesn't stop him from getting excited about his subject matter. It's a sentiment mirrored by many of the specialists featured in the book. There is no concrete evidence of weird life yet, most experts are quick to say — but if there was, how cool would that be?
Overall, this is a smart, well-organized, and highly approachable book. Toomey's playful style is a joy to read, striking a balance between technical terminology and high readability ideal in popular science writing. While there are a couple of particularly florid metaphors and groan-worthy puns throughout the book, they simply reinforce that the author is having fun, and his enthusiasm is nothing if not contagious. When dealing with a topic as complex, multi-faceted, and delightfully bizarre as life itself, you really couldn't ask for more.

Today marks the beginning of the beautiful season of Advent and also a new liturgical year. To help us enter this season well, we are sharing a reflection on today's Scripture readings, taken from the book The Gift of Hope: Advent and Christmas Reflections in the Holy Cross Tradition. It was written by Fr. Bill Wack, C.S.C. Enjoy!
You know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; the night is far gone, the day is near. – Romans 8:11-2
On this first Sunday of Advent, we begin … at the end. We begin a new church year by celebrating the Last Things, the Second Coming, the end times. There is no mention today of the baby in the manger, no angelic proclamation to Mary, no "Silent Night." No, today the church invites us to begin to calm our hearts and our lives so that we can together focus on one thing: hope.
What do we hope for? The coming of Christ. Later in Advent we will shift our attention to the time before Jesus' first coming – the Incarnation. At this moment, however, we think about how it will all end. This in itself sounds rather ominous. Who wants to think about death or the Final Judgment or Heaven or Hell? Well … we do! St. Paul today urges us to keep these realities close, especially during Advent. For the Christian, the end of this world does not frighten us or fill us with dread; instead, it fills us with unparalleled hope because we know how the story of this world, ultimately written by the God who sent his Son as one of us, will end. As we pray at every Mass, "we wait in joyful hope" for these things to happen. We may still be anxious as to how we will die, but we should never, ever, fear what will happen when we die.
And the reality is that our salvation is nearer now than when we first begun! In truth, we can make this proclamation every day of our lives. Each day the promises of Jesus are that much closer for every one of us: "I will come back to take you with me." "I will be with you always, even until the end of time." "I am going to prepare a place for you." "This day you will be with me in Paradise."
Yes, joyful hope! The more we focus on these blessed things to come, the better we will be able to live as God intends us to live and thus the better prepared we will be to receive these gifts at the end of time. The day is ever nearer.

A conversation with singer/songwriter Abigail
We are sharing our recent interview with singer and songwriter
Twist Online : First of all please introduce yourself to our readers.
Abigail : Hi! My name is Abigail, I'm currently a singer-songwriter and a front-woman of an alternative-R&B band based in Boston, MA. I am now in my final year at Berklee College of Music, and I am incredibly blessed to have met my band guys here, as they've become my family over the last three years we've worked together.
Twist Online : Who or what inspired you to get into music industry?
Abigail : After coming off of one of those audition-shows on television at a young age, I was eager to learn about the music business that takes place behind the scenes—why certain decisions were allowed to be made, how much control an artist has over their career, etc. I had always enjoyed and had a passion for performing, but after I had experienced being on a reality-tv show at the age of 15, I realized that I needed to have better awareness of what I was hoping to get into.
Twist Online : Tell us about your recent release?
Abigail : Yeah! So, I recently released a song called [Purple Shampoo], and it's definitely one that I took a different turn on in terms of production and style development. It's unlike any of the previous singles I've released and is drastically different from the sound of my album, [Songs About Someone I Love(d)]. [Purple Shampoo] is a song about empowerment, self-love, self-recognition, and self-appreciation. Just like a lot of other girls, I have my fair share of insecurities and questions about my exterior make-up. This feeling of not being "what other people want" kicked in for a hot minute when I was seeing a boy one summer, who completely turned his back on me as soon as I went away on tour, and threw himself all over a blonde I knew from school. Now, as a "half-blonde" (currently have my hair in an Ombre), I learned that heavily-pigmented purple shampoo fights the brassiness in blonde hair, and therefore started using it more frequently as a part of my shower routine. I literally came up with the concept of this song when I was in the shower. I was thinking, "Would I have been put in this situation if I looked more like her to begin with?", "Why do some guys have such specific preferences on girls' appearances?" But I was quick to overcome it and chose to look at it differently—which ended up evolving into the making of this song. My hope is that the girls who hear this song will remember their worth, remember that they are enough, and remember that they should always be proud of who they are.
Twist Online : What kind of response you have received from the release?
Abigail : Really, really good so far! I'm just really excited to start sharing it at my live performances because that will give me a chance to talk about the story behind the song with my audience a little bit, and will also give them the opportunity to hear it in another context!
Twist Online : What's your favorite music genre?
Abigail : Alternative-R&B/Soul
Twist Online : What's the best part of being a music artist?
Abigail : I get to invest every breath dedicating the decisions I make day to day for the sole purpose of developing and sharing my personal, vulnerable art.
Twist Online : Have you set some goals to achieve?
Abigail : Of course! Always. I set a new goal every day. Recently, I've been in this phase where I'm constantly writing in waves, and it's picked up a really good momentum for my brain and my heart. So, I guess a recent goal I set was to embrace this reflective-state-of-mind, and to write down the realizations fearlessly and in full truth.
Twist Online : Are you working on any new project?
Abigail : I am!!! But I'm thinking about doing a sort of a "surprise-release"—Like not announcing the release date and just kind of dropping it. I've never done that before, so… we'll see

I applaud Chris Honore's piece [PCW 5/08] on President Kennedy's 1962 Charter Day speech at UC Berkeley.
|What struck me that day was not so much that Kennedy wanted to debunk "the theory that American power is unlimited, or that the American mission is to remake the world in the American image", but Kennedy's call for world peace . . .. "Beyond the drumfire of daily crisis, therefore, there is arising the outlines of a robust and vital world community, founded on nations secure in their own independence, and united by their allegiance to world peace." I volunteered for the Peace Corps in 1963 on the day of Kennedy's assassination, and like so many others it was because I was against the Vietnam War and wanted to make peace, not war. The movement for world peace was a major reason Berkeley's students were part of the anti-war movement. The peace movement was helped by campus visitors of that time, such as William Lederer and Eugene Burdick lecturing about their book, The Ugly American, and Journalist Edgar Snow's revelations about the Dulles brothers' religious fundamentalism (communists were a Godless people), and how little we understood Vietnamese aspirations for independence!
I now believe the pendulum is swinging away from the good vs. evil pessimism that is behind the neo-cons' call for a U.S. world hegemony and back to the "can do" spirit of cooperation so exemplified by the Peace Corps.

|Operated by

|June 16, 1967
|Operating season
|March through January
|290 acres (120 ha)[3]
|Roller coasters
|Water rides
Six Flags Over Georgia (est. 1967) is a 290-acre (120 ha) theme park located west of Atlanta in Cobb County, Georgia, United States. It hosts Warner Bros. Studios' cast of characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and the Looney Tunes, along with Batman, Superman, and the Justice League.
In 1964, this Six Flags entertainment complex broke ground in metropolitan Atlanta. The park also includes Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Georgia, a 7-acre (2.8 ha) water park, and is a sister park to Six Flags White Water Atlanta, a 69-acre (28 ha) standalone water park located in nearby Marietta, Georgia.
After the success of his original Six Flags park in Arlington, Texas, park founder Angus Wynne began searching for a location for a second park. He settled upon a parcel of land located along the Chattahoochee River just west of the city of Atlanta, and design work started in 1964. As the park opened in 1967, Six Flags became the first multi-gate theme park operator in the United States.[4]
Like its sister park in Texas and others, the initial design and theming of Six Flags Over Georgia was inspired by six different flags that have flown over the lands that have comprised present-day Georgia during its history. The six flags in question are those of Spain, France, United Kingdom, the United States, the Confederate States, and the state of Georgia. It can be argued that France's involvement in Georgia's history was very limited, at best; it can be further argued that Georgia's existence as sovereign nation did not bear the same significance as Texas' nationhood. Over the years most of the original historical themes have been dropped in favor of cartoon and superhero themes.
Six Flags Over Georgia is not owned by Six Flags Entertainment Corp. In an arrangement similar to that for Six Flags Over Texas, it is owned by a group of approximately 120 limited partners—some the heirs of Angus G. Wynne—and is managed by the corporation. In years past, this has caused significant friction, including legal action. Starting in 1991, the park was managed by Time Warner Entertainment. The partners sued Time Warner in 1997, claiming that they had neglected to invest in the park and overcharged the partners for the improvements it did receive. A Gwinnett County civil court jury agreed and awarded the partners damages in excess of US$600 million. In 1998, Time Warner sold its interests in the Six Flags parks to Premier Parks of Oklahoma City, which later changed its name to Six Flags Theme Parks, Inc.
In late 2010, Six Flags began the process of removing licensed theming from attractions. They terminated several licenses including their license with Thomas the Tank Engine. Thomas Town was renamed and rethemed to Whistlestop Park in time for the 2011 season.[5][6]
On August 29, 2013, Six Flags officially announced that they would add a Hurricane Harbor water park next door to the park for the 2014 season.[7] In late April 2014 the park announced that it will expand their season from October to January, to include the new Christmas event, Holiday in the Park for years to come.[8]
As part of Six Flags' 2015 capital investment program, Six Flags Over Georgia will receive two rides in its Gotham City section. The first, "The Joker: Chaos Coaster" will be a Larson Giant Loop ride approximately 70 feet in height, while the second, "Harley Quinn Spinsanity", is a more traditional Tilt-A-Whirl family ride.[9] Both attractions are part of a broader renovation of Gotham City, which will also include a new character meet-and-greet area and improvements to the existing Gotham City Eatery restaurant.[9]
Rides and attractions
Six Flags Over Georgia, like most amusement parks, prides itself on its roller coaster collection. Goliath and Mind Bender routinely rank among the top steel roller coasters listed by Amusement Today magazine in its Golden Ticket Awards. The collection expanded in 2011 with the addition of Dare Devil Dive, a Euro-Fighter roller coaster from German designer Gerstlauer.[10]
Aside from the roller coasters, Six Flags Over Georgia maintains a large number of other rides and attractions. Two attractions of note are Acrophobia, installed in 2001 as the world's first "floorless" freefall tower ride, and the Riverview Carousel.
Riverview Carousel
Riverview Carousel is one of only three remaining five-abreast carousels known to exist. Located in an area of the park commonly referred to as Carousel Hill, The Riverview Carousel opened at the park in 1972. It is a 1908 PTC Carousel and is located in the Cotton States section after being moved from Riverview Park (Chicago). It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 1995.

The Matador Ride replaced the Fort Cannons where guests would fire wax cannonballs out of cannons in front of the fort at a model of another fort in the little stream that flowed in front of the fort. Part of the stream was partially filled in (with a small pedestrian bridge crossing the remaining part of the stream) to place this ride in the park. This allowed for a new pathway (going between The Matador and Jumping Frijolies rides) that tied the kiddie section into Carousel Hill.

The length of the ride was 2 minutes 30 seconds.[12] Halmark's "Shirt Tails" Characters are the Park mascots for the season (apparently hanging in the next season as well even though the Looney Tunes start their take over), as a result they move into the Character Theatre in the kiddie section. The Contemporary Theatre is renamed the Olympic Theatre.

Over the years, a number of incidents have occurred at the park, including some fatalities. Batman The Ride has been the scene of two fatal incidents nearly identical in nature, where individuals were underneath the attraction while it was operational and were struck and killed by the train itself or by the riders' exposed legs.
Portions of Six Flags Over Georgia lie within the flood plain of the Chattahoochee River, which has caused occasional problems whenever the river overflows its banks. Most recently, in September 2009, the park suffered severe flooding, as did much of the surrounding area. The bulk of the flooding occurred during the week, at a point in the season when the park was closed on weekdays. The park managed to clean up the damage and open as normal the following weekend.[20]
