In our time many people believe that the creation account is a myth and they deny what the Bible says regarding the flood of Noah. No wisdom of man or scientific knowledge can solve the mystery of creation; only God can tell us in His book, the Bible.
To understand the tragedy of the Flood, we must answer the question, "Are the masses of water now on earth in the same places as when God created the earth?" Land masses now comprise only 21 percent to 22 percent of the earth's surface while the remaining 78 or 79 percent is water. According to the Bible it has not always been so.

Three former staunch evolutionists have recently publicly challenged the basic foundations of evolution theory. Astronomers Sir Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe and palenotologist Colin Patterson have put the scientific world into a spin by renouncing essential tenets of the very theory on which they had built their careers without accepting the creation alternative.

Richard Dawkins, the world's most famous out-of-the-closet living atheist and evolutionary biologist, said in an interview with Salon Magazine: "For a long time it seemed clear to just about everybody that the beauty and elegance of the world seemed to be prima facie evidence for a divine creator.

Critics of the Biblical faith say that a faith which understands the Bible on its own terms is an assault on the thinking mind. Atheists consider the Biblical faith a rejection of human mental abilities. Religious liberals and those who follow non-Christian religions consider Christianity a "blind leap of faith" which must either reject reason and evidence or set up a special and segregated mental reality to accept the Bible. But is it true that in His revelation God expects us to abandon the mental capacities He has given us?
Is Easter Central in Your Life?
In Colossians 1:16-20 we are told that the Christ who created all things also upholds all things; that He must be God to save us from our sins; that He had to rise from the dead; that He who is above all angels and devils, must be predominant in all things.

Is the age of the Earth important enough to argue about? It can be said, in a limited and incomplete sense, that it really doesn't matter whether the creation was made 2,000 years ago or 20 billion years ago. Unlimited billions of years won't perform the miracles evolutionists hope to find by multiplying eons by eons.

The word "doctrine" simply means "teaching." What does Scripture have to say about its own nature, its source, and how we are to understand it?
Following God's very last act of creation – that is, the creation of Eve on the first Friday evening – He blessed both Adam and Eve, then gave them their mandate: "Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth. I have given you every herb that yields seed ... every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food… Also to every beast, etc... I have given every green herb for food (Genesis 1:28-30).
There is an old joke about a novice archaeologist who was terribly disappointed when professional archaeologists refused to accept the authenticity of a coin he had found. He could not understand why the coin, bearing the date of "125 B.C.," was considered a hoax.
1. The discovery of the colored peoples by the Caucasian Christian West in the 16th century caused some to doubt that the Genesis Flood had been universal since the only family on the Ark were surely Caucasion! Later, at the time of the Industrial Revolution and during the search for coal and minerals, it was realized that rocks appeared in layers or stratum, each of different composition from those layers above and below.
1. Historically, the western mind has, until the beginning of the nineteenth century, considered the earth to be only a few thousand years old and this was based upon the Biblical account and the ensuing genealogies given into historical times. Following European and Elizabethan exploration, questions of race were raised and doubts cast upon the universality of the Genesis Flood.

1. Neither those who believe in Creation nor those who believe in Evolution deny that there has been an Ice-Age, but opinions differ sharply as to when it occurred, how it occurred and if it happened more than once. There have been many theories, but none have yet adequately explained all the data. In 1815 Mt. Tambora, Indonesia, exploded and in the following year the world saw no summer, there was little food, world-wide starvation and stock markets crashed.

(Editor's note: Before we landed on the moon, those who believe that the Earth and moon are billions of years old feared that the moon was covered with deep dust that might swallow a spacecraft. They based this fear on measured rates of dust accumulation in our area of space. If dust had been accumulating at measured rates for billions of years, we could have a problem when we tried to land.
Speaking of magnetic fields, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and "geoengineering" brings us to an interesting ongoing topic of creationist endeavors--describing conditions of the world before it was radically changed by the flood of Noah.
The earth has survived some very catastrophic change, and even evolutionists admit that at different times in earth's history climate conditions were quite different from what they are today.

Modern sociology, which is based on evolution, cannot be "cleaned up" and made Christian. The very foundation of modern sociology is corrupt and anti-Christian. Sociologists hope to reach their goals by rewriting history and manipulating people into thinking they are right. When people see this, they realize that something is wrong. But the problem lies at the very foundations of sociology. Since it is based on evolution, sociology has no idea of the source or purposes of human practices and beliefs.

A-Z Musicals: N
Thursday, April 16, 2015
I'm a mother, a Mormon and a musician, and I squee over all things pink and sparkly. I write books about doors that shouldn't be opened and enchanted tears that shouldn't be shed. I'm the proud wife of a farmer, and we live in a dinky Idaho farm town where the chances of getting stuck in tractor-induced traffic jams are highly likely. I believe anything can be made better with a good attitude and maybe a book packed away for those just-in-case times.

The fourth of July signifies summer is in full swing – and you can kick back and relax – that is, until Labor Day. So as we celebrate The Declaration of Independence and our country's birthday, whether relaxing poolside, picnicking in the park, or dining al fresco, it's important to remember to celebrate in style! With a little table inspiration and Vintage House & Garden recipes, you'll be well on your way to a successful holiday with family and friends.
At the Table…
Who said setting a table had to be "work"? Have fun! Don't be afraid to mix and match, use splashes of color, or take risks. There are only two "rules" to consider when preparing your table: make sure your guests can see each other and don't use something so fragrant it will interfere with the aroma of the food. Above, a country bouquet serves as a centerpiece, and the heads of the table are accented with three single roses in a vase.
Nothing says Fourth of July quite like red, white, and blue! But if you don't want to go crazy with the colors of old glory at the table, you can accent with them.
Use white flowers in a blue container or on blue fabric to show your patriotism!
Recipes...What to Serve
We love looking to vintage House and Garden for recipes and inspiration of any – and every – kind. This "On-the-move Cook Book" is perfect for any occasion, indoors or out. Barbecued chicken, roast corn, fruit mélange, and lobster tails with cognac butter…. You had me at lobster!
Red, White & Blue desserts...
If you don't want to go crazy with patriotic colors on the table, make festive desserts! Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries will do.
Dessert ideas from Better Homes & Gardens
And some of our favorite table settings from Roberta Freeman and Roberta Roller Rabbit to to inspire your holiday weekend:
Happy Fourth of July!

The Merced County Sheriff's Department pulled the body of a Hispanic man from a canal in Planada Wednesday night that was that of a man reported missing July 10.
Authorities identified the man as Raul Avalis, 30, of Planada. Avalis had last been seen on July 10 in the canal.
The sheriff's department responded to a report of a possible drowning around 11:30 p.m. July 10 at a canal at Childs and Hupp avenues in Planada.
A witness said his friend went into the canal in that area and never re-surfaced. He went to the Cal Fire Station to report it, which in turn called the sheriff's department, said sheriff's spokesman Deputy Tom MacKenzie.
The sheriff's dive team was dispatched and searched over a mile of the canal, but was unable to locate Avalis, MacKenzie said. The sheriff department's helicopter also was in the air using its infrared equipment to detect any possible body heat in the fields and roads in the surrounding area, but also was unable to locate any evidence of the missing man.
"As investigators interviewed the witness, conflicting statements made it impossible to determine the circumstances surrounding the individual's disappearance," MacKenzie said. "Since there was no evidence of foul play at the time of the incident, a missing person's investigation was opened."
Around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday the sheriff's department's dive and rescue team recovered Avalis' body in the canal at Gerard Avenue and Santa Fe Road.
An autopsy is scheduled for later this week to help determine the cause of death and maybe some of the circumstances leading up to it.

One of Henry James' main themes was the interaction between the Old World and the New. Restless Baroness Eugenia Munster and her charming bohemian brother Felix are visiting their American cousins in Boston, New England. The effect these two extravagant characters have on their austere Puritan relations forms the substance of the book and is told in a series of scenes or 'sketches'. The author writes with subtly observed good humour which accelerates and escalates into higher comedy as Felix, the main protagonist, manipulates his cousin's emotional affiliations. James is most impartial and so the wit is at the expense of neither faction, although one suspects that his sympathies lie more with the European temperament rather than the cloistered sensibilities of New England, a suspicion given credence by the fact that, after living in Britain for twenty years, he eventually obtained citizenship. In a letter to the publisher, outlining his plan for the novel, James wrote; 'I agree to squeeze my buxom muse… I will lace her so tight that she shall have the neatest little figure in the world. It shall be a very joyous little romance..' He succeeded brilliantly.

Warning: This picture contains graphic scenes of (almost) nudity. Kim Kardashian was (over?)sharing her post-baby body in a teeny-tiny white swimsuit on Instagram this morning.
The star posted the pic with the word #NoFilter, showing off her famous rounded derriere, tiny waist and, let's face it, some major side boob.
The blonde star looked fake-tanned and ready for her reveal, which she's worked up to by losing 25lbs on the Atkins diet.
According to the Daily Mail, she recently said: "I've actually been doing the Atkins diet & luv it."
A rep for Atkins told the paper: "She is eating lots of lean proteins, healthy fats like nuts and avocado, carbs, fruits, veggies and cheese.
"She wanted to be a healthy, nursing mom and not toxify her milk with her diet or lose weight too quickly. She's been doing Atkins since her doctor approved it at the end of June."
But did anyone approve this smoking hot pic? It almost needs a censor.

At the top of a fragile batting order, he knew that through him lay the gateway to victory.
Anderson is having the same effect on Watson. Not necessarily in the number of dismissals, though he trapped him lbw on Sunday after Watson's customary purposeful start, but in the way he is messing with his technique and resolve. Watson was deliberately reinstalled at the top of the Australian order to do a job on Anderson, to try and take England's spearhead down a peg or two.
The opposite seems to have happened. Watson, a hugely talented batsman, who habitually destroys bowling attacks in the shorter form of the game, wears a haunted look when he faces Anderson. He still unfurls a few meaty drives, but there is a lack of permanence about him, as you might expect from a man who has been out 27 times (in 79 innings) between 20 and 49 and consequently averages 35 in Test cricket. He bats as if he expects the unplayable ball or the umpire's raised finger at any time. His self-belief appears to have a finite time span.
Anderson and his colleagues have hassled and harassed Watson so consistently he finally felt obliged to change his technique. He has been out lbw once every three Test innings and having been dismissed that way in his last two knocks in this series, it had finally got to him. He was beginning to accept that his strength is his weakness. The fact that he plants his front foot down the wicket allows him to play his booming drives to balls that others would defend. But it is also a rigid position which he cannot adjust if the ball moves and threatens his pads.
So on Sunday he took guard further outside leg stump, making sure he kept his leg out of the way and could get his bat to the ball. It worked temporarily. He bunted a couple of strong drives down the ground and squirted one through cover. Anderson swung a couple away and they were thick edged into the slips. Watson needed all his expertise to keep the fast bowler out.
A sensitive soul, what was also playing on Watson's mind was the previous misuse of the DRS. It has caused quite a furore around the team, with him rather unfairly portrayed as the main culprit. The Australian media are unforgiving and David Warner's brother accused him on Twitter of being selfish for using up a review when he was palpably out. In fact his employment of the review is more a case of him being in denial, unable to accept that he had missed another straight ball having done the initial due diligence and got into the thirties.
Anderson, a forensic examiner of technique in the way that McGrath was, is not a man to face when your focus is corrupted. Such is his control he was bowling to an extraordinary field – no one at long leg or deep square, a man at deep midwicket, a wide mid-on and a catcher standing almost in front of the non-striker. Everyone else was on the off side. His intentions were clear. He was going to keep the ball pitched up on off stump and look for a little bit of movement either way.
The prospect of a ball nipping back down the slope and rapping Watson on the pad was as inevitable as exorbitant boutiques in St Johns Wood High Street. When the moment came, there was a time lapse before Marais Erasmus gave him out almost as if he did not have the heart to do it. Would Watson review it? Though there was a remote possibility that the ball had hit the bat first, Watson knew he could not afford to waste another one, so, with an expression of weary resignation, went on his way.
Watson encapsulates Australia's problem. They have talent. But, against a superior team in conditions made to suit them, they ultimately expect to fail. And once that feeling percolates the subconscious you are dead.

No, I'm not going to do daily updates. Please–I have a novel to write! But I will do periodic updates, starting today. Day one has been a good NaNo day for me. As you can see from the widget on the sidebar, I managed to get 3,414 words written–at least that's the "official" count. Word says I wrote about 10 or 15 more words than that, but it's the official count that counts, so let's stick with that.
I'm also really impressed with how well my NaNo Buddies are doing too. Some managed to write way more than me, some hit around the recommended daily average, but they all made a start on their NaNo projects. Well done everyone! May the words continue to flow.
Speaking of words flowing, I want to let you know that my inner editor is not functional right now. I know for a fact that there are many words I'm writing that will not survive the first round of editing. But what I'm very encouraged by is the fact that in the midst of all these words is a story. I've said before that my NaNo project is a re-write of what little I've done of my WIP, and I hope by November 30th to be at least close to finishing it. In the midst of my NaNo prep, and even in the work I've done on day one, I'm seeing more of a story than I ever did before. There's even a potential novella that could come out of it! It's all very exciting, and I'm looking forward to continuing tomorrow.
Keep an eye on the word count, and feel free to give me a kick in Twitter if it doesn't move much for a few days. 🙂

The Sri Lankan off spinner was forced out of the second and final Test against South Africa which started on Wednesday after complaining of "intense pain", said team manager Ajit Jayasekera.
Muralitharan, 32, had complained of shoulder pain leading up to the drawn first Test in Galle but decided to play anyway, a decision that led to the injury being aggravated.
"We decided not to play Murali this morning because he was in intense pain and there was a grave risk that he would miss the ICC Champions Trophy (in England next month),"
"We sent an MRI scan to Doctor David Young (Sri Lanka's medical adviser) in Melbourne on Monday and he says there is a fluid build-up that needs to be removed.
"It seems that the fluid is too deep to be removed here and we may have to send Murali to Australia. We are discussing the situation with David Young and will know more later in the day," added Jayasekera.
Muralitharan has taken 532 wickets in 91 Tests.
South Africa will next week start a series of five one-day internationals in Sri Lanka.

Today is filled with anger, fueled with hidden hate.
Scared of being outkast, afraid of common fate.
Today is build on tragedies which no one want's to face.
Nightmares to humanity and morally disgraced.
Tonight is filled with Rage, violence in the air.
Children bred with ruthlessness cause no one at home cares.
Tonight I lay my head down but the pressure never stops,
knowing that my sanity content when I'm droped.
But tomorrow I see change, a chance to build a new,
build on spirit intent of heart and ideas based on truth.
Tomorrow I wake with second wind and strong because of pride.
I know I fought with all my heart to keep the dream alive.

Christophe, thank you for bringing more linguistic depth and breadth to our discussion. I certainly learned a great deal from the examples you've provided for languages other than English. Concerning the proposal to make GL 3.1 L3 SC3 read, "A mechanism for finding the expanded form of abbreviations is available," you wrote:
 It depends on how you define "abbreviation", because the term appears to have two meanings in this context: 1. The shortened form of a word. 2. Shorthand for "abbreviated/shortened form"; superset of abbreviation (1), initialism and acronym.
 I think it's been amply demonstrated that we're not going to get much more help from the dictionaries. There are slight inconsistencies from one dictionary to the next, as well as differences in usage among people who appear to speak the ssame language (e.g., speakers of English, French, Portuguese, etc., who live on different continents. I think we're going to have to take a deep, collective breath and decide upon or craft a definition that, in our best judgment, will serve both people with disabilities and authors of Web content. I think Christophe has just provided such a definition, and I propose we accept it and move on. John "Good design is accessible design." Dr. John M.

 This seems a cleaner solution than adding "initialisms" to the SC. The Glossary would define all three terms (abbreviation, acronym, initialism). The Guide would then point to appropriate general and technology-specific techniques.
 It depends on how you define "abbreviation", because the term appears to have two meanings in this context: 1. The shortened form of a word. 2.

In some cases, the expanded form only exists in a foreign language, so it may be more helpful to provide an explanation in the host language instead of the original language: - vip in Dutch (from English: very important person); - e.g. in English (from Latin: exempli gratia); - ABS in English and Dutch (from German: Antiblockiersystem); - etc. Some abbreviations acquire a connotation that is not present in the orginal form, e.g. in Dutch: BV for Bekende Vlaming (well-known/famous Fleming) has a slightly ironic/mocking connotation because the 'fame' is often the result of media hype rather than merit. Note that contractions (e.g. wanna, aren't, won't, ...) are also shortened forms but that we probably don't want to include them in a criterion that requires expanded forms, or at least not in English. I looked up the terms "abbreviation", "acronym" and "initialism" in a few other dictionaries (in English, German, French, Spanish and Dutch). I can't help thinking that some lexicographers could have done a better job. Also, if you assume that "word" in any of these definitions implies "pronounceable" and that initialisms can't be pronounced as words, some languages may not have a word for "initialism". I think this is the case for Dutch and German. According to Chambers 21st Century Dictionary [1] using 'inialism' as synonym for 'acronym' is typical of American usage (as opposed to British usage). Although less well know, the term initialism is older than the term acronym: in English, initialism dates back to the late 19th century; acronym to the 1940s.

We saw the need for a solution to un-complicate the financing process for consumers.
Past News ReleasesRSS
Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) November 02, 2013
Evergreen Auto Finance is announcing the launch of a new website designed to assist clients across the entire of state of Washington, not just the Seattle-Tacoma area. The company is quickly becoming one of the leading destinations for Washington consumers who would like to eliminate the stress and hurdles that come with financing a car. The company's extensive industry relationships allow them to match consumers in real-time with finance specialists who can walk them through the process, getting their auto loan pre-approved before they ever set foot on the dealership lot.
With the new website (http://www.evergreenautofinance.com), consumers can apply online through a cutting-edge approval platform. Their application is then placed with a dealer or lender willing to fund their loan, and a specialist from said company contacts the applicants to discuss rates, terms, vehicles, and more. Nearly all of these lenders do report payments to the credit bureaus, enabling borrowers with below-average credit to rebuild their payment history by paying off their monthly installments on a regular basis, thereby resulting in an improved credit score. Applications are placed based on a variety of factors, including income and location.
"We saw the need for a solution to un-complicate the financing process for consumers," said one company spokesperson. "Car-buyers are spending way too long on dealer lots, up to four hours on average by some counts. We streamline this by leaps and bounds, and consumers can typically have their loan lined up, then simply schedule a time to pick out their vehicle at the dealership. Next to a personal car-buying service, it's hard to imagine an easier way to buy a car."
Evergreen Auto Finance does not charge a fee for online applications, and they welcome clients from every end of the credit and income spectrum.
About the Company: Evergreen Auto Finance helps Washington State consumers get approved for the auto loans they need, both in Seattle and the rest of the state.

Week ending March 28, 2014
Boone, Lauri. Superfoods for Life: Chia. Fair Winds. 2014. 192p. photos. index. ISBN 9781592335725. pap. $18.99; ebk. ISBN 9781610589246. HEALTH
Chia is an edible seed that comes from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, grown in Mexico and dating back to Mayan and Aztec cultures. "Chia" means strength, and folklore has it that these cultures used the tiny black and white seeds as an energy booster. That makes sense, as chia seeds are a concentrated food containing healthy omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, fiber, antioxidants, protein, and calcium. Today chia is a popular addition to the wide variety of health foods available to adventurous eaters. Boone, a registered dietitian, speaker, and writer (Powerful Plant-Based Superfoods), has compiled a handbook of chia information that will be useful to readers ready to explore using the seed in their cooking. The book focuses on integrating chia seeds into common recipes: granola, smoothies, soups, main courses, and desserts. A thorough index gives access to the information in the book, and bright color photos help to inspire the cook. Particularly useful is a list of FAQs that will answer most questions that a newcomer to chia will have. The science on the benefits of chia use is controversial; readers will have to choose for themselves.
Verdict A popular addition to general food collections. Chia is trendy these days, and there will be a demand for the information in this book.—Olga Wise, formerly with Compaq Computers Inc. Lib., Austin, TX
Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Prints and Objects. Overlook. 2013. 256p. ed. by Jörg Schellmann & Matthias Koddenberg. illus. ISBN 9781468307481. $65. FINE ARTS
Christo (b. 1935) is in the final years of a long and prolific career as an artist who has radically altered the practice of art. Sadly, his collaborator and wife, Jeanne-Claude, passed away in 2009. Together, they carried to fruition many multiyear projects, including the beautiful "Running Fence" across the seaside of northern California, the "Wrapped Coast" of Australia, the pink "Surrounded Islands" in Biscayne Bay, FL, the "Wrapped Reichstag" in Berlin, and a host of other smaller artwork installations dealing with the theme of intervening in the built or natural landscape. To raise money for their projects and to support themselves, the couple made numerous small sculptural and two-dimensional collectible works. This beautifully illustrated catalogue raisonné is a guide to the large- and small-scale works in chronological order. A very short introductory essay in German and English discusses how the artists produced and funded their art projects, but the real value of the book is the many photos of the finished projects, the unrealized efforts, and the small discrete artworks. This is an excellent starting point for researching specific projects, most of which have books devoted to them.
Verdict Anyone interested in the art of the late 20th and early 21st centuries will find this a valuable visual overview of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's work without the distraction of extensive text.—David McClelland, Andover, NY

I'm guessing both. It seems that nothing is off limits in this case and since Lulu got down and dirty, I expect Maxie to do the same.

Where would the fun be in that?!? :sleep2:
|Nov 15 2013, 12:30 PM Post #163
|How Lulu did not foresee any kind of blow back after having Alexis accuse Maxie of MURDERING Robin, I will never understand. Lulu is desperate and vindictive right now. I have been pretty much team Lante because, as I said, I like them better than Spixie, but at this point I just feel sorry for Dante and Spinelli while Maxie and Lulu rip each other apart. I think Lulu's sunk pretty low in this storyline, but I am still not convinced that she's sunk any lower than Maxie. Aside from the obviously unfair stuff about Robin, I think some of the other points Lulu made about Maxie yesterday were correct. She never does seem able to see how destructive her actions are until AFTER the fact. Liz's testimony about everything with Lucky was utterly damning.
|Nov 15 2013, 12:37 PM Post #164
That said, the custody story is still terrible. Utterly misconceived from the start.
And even though I am late to the party on this one, I LOVED the fallout of everyone finding out about Julian's real identity. Alexis is going to fight it tooth and nail, but she and Julian are HOT HOT HOT.
On the Morgan vs Michael front, I am Team Morgan. I love him with Ava and I love him on Team Jerome. I do not accept for a second that Sonny is in any way morally superior to Ava or Julian. I don't hate Sonny and I have been enjoying watching him in this story and probably will continue to, but I would LOVE to see the Jeromes turn the tables on him and knock him off of his lofty perch as Mob King of Port Charles.
Morgan can be a bit whiny at times and it can wear thin, but it is completely offset by how sanctimonious and self-righteous Michael is. I'm sick of Michael and Kiki sitting astride their high horse like they aren't equals to Morgan and the Jeromes in every way. They completely approve of what Sonny does and are trying to help him - with Kiki betraying her mother exactly as Morgan has betrayed Sonny, which somehow isn't supposed to be a problem - so they get no support from me. At least Morgan isn't pretending to be anything he isn't. Michael, meanwhile, is repeatedly playing the "noble and mature" card, and it's very grating.

That's the part about Morgan that I like. Him & Ava and being on Team Jerome. That sets up years of soapy goodness with dueling brothers. Both just need to be a little bit more mature. When Morgan sounds like a whiny teenager (cuz he is) it grates my nervous. I don't have such an intense reaction to Michael. That's because his personal storyline is boring. It shouldn't be. On paper, him and Kiki should be smoking hot since they were forbidden fruit for awhile. I think Kiki is the weakest link performance wise. Ava and Morgan is sinfully delicious!
I'd like them to write the brothers like full grown adults, a stronger performer for Kiki, because I love this drama on paper.

I'm gradually becoming a Brik fan, however they're rushing the relationship. Kissing; barely knowing each other.

Lulu isn't thinking. She's reacting, and I think it's only going to go downhill for her from there. Even if she somehow manages to win custody of the baby, I think she and Dante are in for some rocky times.

|I'm worried about the state of the Lante marriage by the end of this trial. I don't think Dante likes this side of Lulu (and who can blame him).
|Nov 15 2013, 09:42 PM Post #172
I predict Lante are about to implode like Jasam did in 2012. Just something about how Dante and Lulu are being written reminds me of Jason and Sam during Sam's pregnancy and when she thought her baby was dead---and blamed Jason. I think something similar is going to happen to Lante. Which kind of sucks as they are practically the only married couple on the show.
I am continuing to enjoy Nikolas and Britt, and Faison and Obrecht. And super spy Robert Scorpio was back in action today! Glad to see his brother at the trial.

Yeah, that gum thumb thing was pretty awesome. Today was just another reminder of how much I love Robert and Anna together. I don't need them to be paired romantically, I just need FH and TR to share the screen.

I'm a little slow with my comments, but..
Carly and Franco kiss was weird. Franco saving the day got an eye roll over here.
Sonny needs to get over his son's "betrayal."
Olivia annoys me.
I still can't get into Maura West as Ava.
Silas needs to mind his own business.
Sam's instant defense of Julian was strange. I don't buy a word coming out of Julian's mouth.
LMAO@ KA's acting. Funny sh*t. I hollered at her jumping in the water. Michael made up the story because he is embarrassed his ass got whooped.
The Sean and Sabrina's lame boyfriend's rivalry is lame.

The Brik scene was sweet and romatic, period. :wub: :cheer: Nik finally has a relationship were there is no competition for Britt feelings. Brad is gay and Patrick is going to be back with his wife. So far, Britt has not mention Patrick and stay focused on Nik.
Brik are not being rushed, IMO. They have been going through some things together and trying to look beyond their parents history to be a better human being. I loved how Nik was surprised by his feelings.
Brik will always be million times better than NIZ.
I was hoping that both drowned and was willing to throw Morgan a parade, LOL.
The custody trail is a complete failure because the judge had no paternity/maternity test done for Connie. The contract became null and void when Maxie substituted her baby for Dante/Lulu child.
All the testimony was based on hearsay without any compelling facts and Diane not cross examining Liz was just plain stupid.
Can't really feel sorry for Dr.O. She knows that Faison will always love Anna Devane over her. Any self respecting woman would have capped him when he suggested that she put on the Anna mask in the bedroom.
The same thing goes for Carly.

I can't believe how much I detest Shawn Butler, a character I absolutely adored only a year ago.
I know what Jason's excuse was for becoming Sonny's hit man back in 1996 (he was brain dead) but did we ever get a plausible explanation on how this seemingly good man went to the dark side?
|Nov 16 2013, 10:02 PM Post #177
The man was a science teacher. I think a chemist or biologist. Couldn't he have gone to work at the hospital? Doesn't ELQ have a pharmaceutical division? With his military training, he could have worked for the police department. I know he had PTSD, but they've never referenced it again and now he's working as a hitman. #Gofigure
Whatever excuse they came up with is bullshit just so they could sacrifice Shawn, a once promising character, on the alter of Scummy.

Bleh. They could write better for Queen Robin Mattson ... but beggars can't be picky as it's been so many YEARS since us Mattson fans have gotten such regular doses of her majesty.

A History of US (11 Volume Set)
In its first edition, Joy Hakim's groundbreaking narrative A History of US sold more than 1 million books and was adopted by hundreds of schools from Maine to California. Oxford University Press is delighted to announce a revised second edition, in full color, incorporating the most recent discoveries in history and archaeology. And we've added a brand new eleventh volume featuring an index to the entire series, historical maps, the essential documents, commentary, and much more. Each book in this award-winning series is accurate and reliable history written in the tradition of great storytelling. The narrative and informal text includes off-beat, little-known events and singular personalities that make the traditional meat-and-potatoes of American history anything but boring. Read any selection aloud to your students and you will soon understand why kids and teachers across the country are raving about these books. Joy Hakim quotes extensively from primary documents, explaining who wrote them, when, and under what circumstances, so that the reader is implicitly encouraged to assess their accuracy or probable bias. She describes the historical context of each piece of evidence, so that students can build an accurate (and carefully guided) picture of that world for themselves. Ms. Hakim writes like an historian, and she offers her readers the chance to begin to do history and understand the process for themselves. Although her language is carefully chosen to be accessible even to fairly inexperienced readers, her respect for their intelligence and their ability to feel and think deeply about complicated and sometimes painful problems is evident.

I started weekly riding lessons in February this year at the grand old age of 54. I was pony mad as a child but we never had the money to pursue my dream of riding and then came a family so no time or money. Now I am finally fulfilling my dream, HOWEVER - it is so much harder than I expected!
I am fine with trot but cantering scares me to the point that it is really starting to stress me out and spoil the whole experience for me. I am never going to own my own horse and I know that I can sit the canter if I have to but I really don't like it so I have decided for the time being at least to just stick to walk and trot. I love trotting and am just happy being in the saddle but I must admit that I do feel a bit of a failure. Does anyone else feel like me or am I just a complete wuss?!
I don't think you should feel a failure at all; it is very brave to start all this up in your fifties!
But...I think it is worth, perhaps after a little break from it for a week or two, persisting with learning how to canter properly. Because, in the long run it is a lovely comfy stride and you will feel so glad you can do it and will really enjoy it when you can do it well. Can you ride different horses or do you ride the same one each time? Because different horses and ponies have different canters, some rather bouncy and speedy, others more sedate and rocking, smoother.
A few private lessons on different horses, focusing on the canter, and you will get it!
Good on you for going for it, and the main thing is to keep really enjoying your rides. It hasn't even been a year yet and there is no hurry to be brilliant. But I don't think you need to rule cantering out altogether. Perhaps you just need more time to build up confidence.
Hi - thank you so much for your reply and encouragement! I did my first few canters on a lovely slow smooth horse and it didn't feel too bad at all but she wouldn't keep going for long (just went down the length of the school and stopped which suited me fine actually!) But then I progressed to a more forward going bouncier horse which felt so different and now I am losing my nerve. I make myself do it but am always relieved when it's over which kind of defeats the object of having a fun hobby but you are right, I should persevere - feel the fear and do it anyway so they say!
Latestarter, can you have some lunge lessons? A very steady horse which will canter gently around on the lunge without you having to worry about steering or keeping him going will soon get you enjoying yourself! Also, a small tip which I'm always surprised that some riding instructor's don't give... when holding the front of the saddle and trying to stabilise your seat, make sure you lean back a bit and pull upwards against the saddle which has the effect of pulling your seat tightly down into the deepest part of the saddle. So many learner riders grip like crazy on the front of the saddle but push against it with rigid arms. Of course this is much easier on the lunge!
Definitely stick at it, canter is by far the nicest pace. I'd ask to go back to the nice steady horse, and work on making your seat more secure, which will help with the confidence. Have you told your instructor how you are feeling?
Hi TropicalHorse, I had my last lesson on the lunge as we thought this might help but as soon as the horse takes off into canter my brain just freezes and all I can think of is staying on and wanting it to stop so maybe I am just a lost cause! I will try your advise re holding the saddle though. I usually hold the neckstrap so maybe holding the saddle will help me sit deeper and feel more secure.
It's a very good top about using a different horse for the canter. I used to ride to a competitive level but then had to stop at 16, I recently had some lessons & on the first one I was miserable as I couldn't sit to the canter, but once I rode some other horses it turned out that the first horse I rode just had a pace I found difficult.
Hi Aeoaddict. Everyone tells me that canter is lovely and smooth - I think that's why I found it such a shock as I rather naively thought it would be a doddle! Even on the smooth horse I don't feel I have any control which I think is what freaks me out the most. I do feel I can get into the rythm on her but the problem is keeping her going. By the time I am getting into it she has stopped and unfortunately she can't be lunged (not sure why). Hence the reason for moving on to a more forward going but bouncier horse. My instructor is great but at the end of the day she can't do it for me and my nerves are getting shredded! But I will take all of your advice and keep trying!
Don't rush it. You've only been riding for a few months. It took me a couple of years before I would dare a canter, and a couple more before I was not scared of it.
From what I see one of the differences between teaching here and in the UK is that here (or at least at my school) they make sure you are competent before you start to canter, that means trotting not just rising, but also seated, in suspension, and without stirrups.
DH started a couple of months after you, he is fine in a trot until you take away his stirrups. It will be a while before the instructor gets him to canter.
Canter is not smooth! I find it like riding a rocking horse. Make sure your seat is right - I used to sit badly and stay on by balance instead of grip. A good one to one session sorted that out and now I'm more confident. While you build your confidence up, ask for a horse with a smooth canter. Good luck!
and stay on by balance instead of grip
Can't help thinking you meant this the other way around.
OP, it will be lovely if you do eventually enjoy a canter but please don't feel a failure for taking things at your own pace! There will probably come a time when you think "well why not?" and off you will go, but there's no law says you have to.
Thanks everyone for your replies. I have decided to take the pressure off of myself and not attempt canter for now and see how I feel in the new year. Maybe a few weeks of not thinking about it will make me want to try it again - that's the theory anyhow!
Well there's no reason why you can't still feel that you are improving your skills. You could get hold of a walk/trot dressage test and have a go at that if you want something to aim towards.
Fwiw my friend does own her own horse and she has never cantered him. She decided long ago that she was quite happy mooching about the countryside in walk and trot and doesn't really care what anyone else thinks. It's not that she isn't an able rider, I remember a pony she backed herself that she could ride at all paces with no tack at all, and we had another trained by her who was the best horse we could ever have wished for. It's just that for her, horses are for relaxation not thrills and competition, and there's nothing wrong with that, she's the one paying the bills . I'm not saying you should be the same and rule out cantering altogether, just mentioning because you said "I am never going to own my own horse" as if that made a big difference to how YOU enjoy your riding.
Are there any safe tracks you could go out for a canter on? I know this is often unfortunately not possible, but maybe if you are just going in a straight line with your instructor on a steady horse in front you will feel more safe and have less to worry about in terms of steering. In general, when out horses are bit more enthusiastic, so you will have less to worry about in terms of keeping the horse going.
However, I know I am lucky where I live to have lots of safe, accessable hacking, and even more lucky that I can ride on the YOs land so I don't have to worry about meeting anyone/anything, and this is not always possible everywhere.
Equally, if you want a break from cantering for a couple of weeks, then tell your instructor this. I am sure there are other things you can learn in walk and trot, such as school figures, lateral movement and maybe a little work over poles on the ground. Given time, you may find yourself wanting to have another go at cantering!
I cantered in the school at the weekend, i usually canter on a hack. So it had been a long time since I cantered in the school. It seemed so fast i think because of the corners. he is my loan horse so i know him well, but even so felt fast. On a bridle path I personally find the canter easier as I am not steering. just ducking low branches.
I only got my loan at age 43 years. So much better than a riding school.
I would definitely try to start cantering out on hacks, in a straight line to begin with. Also, what is your aim with your riding? Do you need to canter in the school? If not then why worry. Just enjoy yourself.
The hacking at my school is very limited (mostly roadwork). There are other good hacking facilities around but I wouldn't be familiar with the horses or hack leaders so I don't think I would be confident enough at the moment but it is something I would love to do and is what I had in mind when I took up riding (visions of black beauty and all that!) But that was before I realised it looks sooo much easier than it is!!
There is no pressure at all from my instructor but she said she would not ask me to do anything I was not capable of and I believe her as she is quite strict and knows her stuff so I know I am capable, it is just my nerves holding me back. However, all your replies have convinced me that I will be missing out if I give up cantering altogether so although I have decided to have a few weeks break from it I am now determined to master it eventually. Thanks for everyone's support and advice. I love this forum!
Definitely have a break. Then maybe try trotting half a circle and cantering half then repeating
I was scared of cantering (and I've ridden for 25 years!) and what I did was practice trot - canter - trot as it was the transition that scared me
Eventually I did it so much I got totally bored with it!
I'm like Pixel's friend as in I don't canter because I just don't want to & if I'm REALLY honest because I just don't like it anymore.
I have my own DH & she will happily let the youngsters canter off without her, though we have had a couple of times when she has decided she is going & we've had a good old surprise
uncontrolled gallop canter
I used to feel bad about it & felt that I really SHOULD be cantering but then decided that she's my horse & as long as we're both happy doing what we do, bugger what other people (my DD being the worst!) think.
ou are not alone op.....
i worry about cantering because im like a sack of spuds in the saddle and i worry about hurting the horse.....
ive taken a few months sabbatical. i actually enjoy just working with the horses more than riding them i think because im a bit rubbish....my instructor is however a complete control freak (tho i do love her) who wouldnt take me off the lunge.
i want to get back to it. my friend has just bought a horse - she hasnt ridden for years and bought a 5 year old warm blood....
i think i might need to just get my own to do my own thing. biding my time until finances allow
Latestarter - how are you getting on? I used to be fine cantering until a few weeks ago, I've become tense after riding a horse that threw someone recently and am now also being held back by nerves. Funny as I've never been anxious before, really. I think a lunge lesson would do me good, did you find it helped you improve your seat at all or lesson your feelings of being out of control? I want to have realistic expectations
Waves at Vicar - reading about your enthusiasm for horses gave me the final push to return to riding, so thank you for that (eyeing up the costs, DH may thank you rather less!). I know you're taking a little break at the moment, but have you been off the lunge yet? You were getting a bit frustrated before, I seem to recall. Also, I bet you're not rubbish at all. I reckon a lot of us are really tough on ourselves - perhaps because we have visions of whizzing about like Mary King, when the reality is rather more Thelwell-esque...or is that just me?!
That's funny Vicar I was only wondering yesterday what happened to you .
I need to get my confidence cantering but it won't be on the lunge. Tried that and found it absolutely terrifying .
Actually once I'm cantering I'm ok but I'm having awful trouble with the transition which means I get very unbalanced. I never used to find it a problem so I don't know what's gone wrong .
im still knocking around!
truth is i just dont think im good enough to loan or buy, and yes i was getting very frustrated being permanently on the lunge. its hard on the horse too just working in a circle.
there was a lady on here in my vicinity who needed someone to loan her horse for a year - it sounded perfect but the reality was that i knew i was having surgery (im just had it and wont be able to ride for a while) and finances would have been very tight. someone else was interested so i said let them take him....
im going to go back to it. im just debating how i can begin again....i didnt want to take a huge break but i couldnt see the point of stop/start lessons for the surgery to take place so i stopped with a view that i would go back after ive healed.
im missing it. not missing the lunge line and the unsuitable horses....i understand the principles involved and i do wonder if i would just be best loaning/buying and messing about on my own until i get it.....that would be more fun for me i guess.
got to pay the car loan off first tho.....
Oh God don't go back to that lunge!
Lunge lessons are valuable and they do have their place but not if that's the only riding you get to do. You know riding isn't just a case of 'if you learn to sit properly you will be a rider' as horses are all different and you have to get to know them and learn to adapt to get the best out of them. You won't learn any of that all the time someone else is in control.
My ds is having lessons now and I wish you could have his instructor. She's had him doing all sorts, trotting on lunge, trotting
and one unscheduled canter by himself in the school, going over some little poles, hacking on downs and roadwork on the lead rein. It's different teaching someone with severe learning difficulties but he still gets plenty of variety and the instructor is not afraid to let him have a go within a safe environment (even though I have to avert my eyes sometimes!). He is loving every minute of it.
ive been talking to DH tonight.....i think im going to go back to the stables as a volunteer to work with the horses in my spare time but im going to put the money i would use on lessons into a savings fund - ive found a fantastic site - near to me - a dealer but a very reputable one.
they currently have a 14:2 cob - 5 yrs- fantastic happy hacker - £1600......thats doable for me.
i think im going to just take the plunge and get my own and learn as i go. sod it!
it wont be that horse - will need to wait a little while - but it shows there are good horses around and near to me - i just need to find pasture/livery and then i think getting my own is going to be ok if i livery at a good yard that will help me.

ANCHORAGE - A federal grand jury has indicted a man accused of robbing an Anchorage credit union after presenting his account number and picture ID.
U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler said Thursday the indictment charges 34-year-old Jarell Paul Arnold with one count of bank robbery.
Arnold has been in jail since Aug. 10, three days after an Alaska USA Credit Union branch was robbed of $600.
The FBI said Arnold entered the branch and inquired about his account. The teller asked for his name, account number and ID. Authorities said he complied, and then handed the teller a note that said he had a gun and wanted money.

Kaplan Review
Kaplan has long held a place near the top of the industry thanks to their comprehensive LSAT courses and adaptive technology. Plus, their ever-growing collection of online workshops is making it easier than ever to get a quality education no matter where you are.
The Good
Additional hours of live workshops
Kaplan's LSAT Channel, found in your online account, contains videos from hundreds of workshops led by some of the company's best instructors. You don't have to pay extra to access these, and all the previous workshops are recorded and saved in an on-demand video library for later viewing. These live workshops function like a live online course where you're able to interact with the instructor and ask questions about things you don't understand. All sorts of topics are covered in these video sessions, from the most basic strategies to the most difficult Logic Games problems. These resources are extremely valuable for reinforcing key ideas and giving you extra practice in the areas you need it most, so the LSAT Channel is definitely something you should take advantage of.
Adaptive reporting technology for effective studying
After you take one of Kaplan's LSAT practice tests, you receive a Smart Report™ detailing how well you performed on each section of the exam, broken down by question type. You then get recommendations about what lessons and practice questions you should focus on. You don't have to follow these recommendations if you don't want to, but they do give you an idea on the best course of action to pursue if you want to raise your overall LSAT score. After each new practice test you take, a new Smart Report™ is generated so you're always up to speed on your progress.
Private tutoring included in classroom courses
Students in Kaplan's in-person or live online AdvantagePlus courses may sign up for three hours of private tutoring at no additional cost. You speak to a Kaplan LSAT instructor who helps you come up with a study plan tailored to your needs and schedule. If you want, you can also go over past practice tests and look at specific problems that gave you trouble. If you decide you're interested in more private tutoring after your three hours are up, there's always the option to add on more for additional hourly fees. Tutoring is a great way to make sure you're getting the individual attention you want, so it's worth considering the upgrade from the traditional Advantage courses to the AdvantagePlus plan.
Extra practice on certain sections
In addition to their traditional and on-demand courses, Kaplan offers supplementary courses that focus solely on one section of the LSAT. These courses include over 15 hours of streaming video lessons and hundreds of practice problems. If you're struggling with one particular section of the test, it's definitely a good idea to check out the supplementary course for that section. Because the lessons are on demand, you can take the course whenever you want. Fit in the video lessons around your full-length prep course or take it after you've finished. These supplementary courses are also a cost-effective alternative if you only need help with one particular section and don't feel like investing in a traditional prep course.
Backed by strong guarantees
If you don't see any improvement in your LSAT score after completing one of Kaplan's prep courses, you have the option to either retake the course or get your money back. For those students who haven't taken the LSAT prior to enrolling in a prep course, score improvement is calculated from your first practice test. If you're not satisfied with your score, even after if you've improved, you're welcome to take the course over again. Same goes for students who complete a Kaplan LSAT prep course and don't feel prepared enough to take the actual exam. These guarantees show Kaplan really stands behind their products. Few other companies offer these types of satisfaction guarantees to their customers so, if you're interested, you should take a closer look at Kaplan.
The Bad
Slightly larger class sizes
Kaplan caps its LSAT prep courses at about 20 to 30 students per class. This is somewhat larger than the class sizes found with other companies like The Princeton Review and Manhattan Review, who usually maintain a student-to-teacher ratio of about 8:1. However, this doesn't necessarily mean you're going to have difficulty getting one-one-one attention from your instructor. Kaplan still offers a large number of in-class hours and live online workshops, giving you plenty of time to get your questions answered. And, if you're still worried, it might be worth it to upgrade to Kaplan's AdvantagePlus plan, which offers the same instruction as the Advantage courses in addition to three hours of private tutoring.

How will things be once gcc3.3.x is integrated into the main source tree? Will you still have to set CPP to "/usr/bin/cpp -gcc"? Will bsd.*.mk take care of it? Martin

Publishing giant EA has been negotiating acquiring VG Holding Corporation since October last year. The deal went down in these past days and EA is about to lay out $860 million.
VG Holding Corporation includes famous software developers such as Bioware Corporation (Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic) and Pandemic Studios (Mercenaries, Full Spectrum Warriors).
Development of new titles has already commenced and it includes: "Mercenaries 2: World in Flames," "Full Spectrum Warrior," "Saboteur" and "Destroy All Humans." The sequel to "Knights of the Old Republic" is also in the works.
Whether EA sparks some new title development we have yet to see.

Javier Hernández's double to defeat Braga in the Champions League was a timely reminder to Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson of the Mexican's match-winning prowess.
Hernández nodded in the winner to complete another United comeback after the Red Devils had fallen two goals behind, but what was most impressive about the Mexican was how he complemented the goals with an excellent performance notable for his play outside the 18-yard box.
The 24-year-old's poaching instincts have rarely been questioned but Hernández's control and retention of the ball has been erratic over the last year as he succumbed to the contagious second season syndrome. Yet in that second campaign Hernández earned United 12 points in the Premier League through winners and equalisers, three more than his superior, 20-goal debut campaign.
On Tuesday night he gave perhaps his best performance in a red shirt, coming in a week when United face one team who have struggled to stymie the Mexico international's effect.
Hernández has scored four times past Chelsea in six games after his auspicious yet jammy debut goal against them in the 2010 Community Shield.
It would be understandable if Gary Cahill and David Luíz aired their hope he wouldn't start on Sunday. When Hernández arrived as a 53rd minute substitute at Chelsea in February United were 3-0 down. The game ended 3-3 with Hernández nodding in the equaliser and Ferguson confessing after the match he should have started him.
Luíz has struggled with Hernández since he resorted to cynical off-the-ball fouls when Chelsea hosted United in March 2011. Hernández got his revenge when he humiliated the Brazilian after 36 seconds in the antepenultimate match of United's title-winning campaign two months later.
With Wayne Rooney withdrawing into a deeper role and Shinji Kagawa's twisted knee likely to keep him out, Hernández could enjoy the support of the Croxteth attacker and Robin van Persie. Although his impact as a substitute earlier in the year will doubtless have a bearing on the unpredictable Ferguson's selection.
But United cannot afford another false start. Braga became the eighth team to take the lead first against them this season and the two teams who have gone on to defeat United after leading are Everton and Tottenham Hotspur, who both sit in the top five of the Premier League table. Chelsea are first and a win will leave United seven points adrift of the summit.

The new plant in Goole, commissioned by two farmers, processes organic waste, acting as a cost effective and
environmentally friendly alternative to land fill for local businesses. From their initial investment the farms not only benefit from the waste handling charges but they can also use or sell the end product, which is rich in Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus. A number of aerobic digestion plants are now in operation in the UK on a commercial basis demonstrating not only that the technology used is tried and tested but that it is also economically viable.
The Munchers perform an essential role in reducing the material to a small particle size, whilst also providing
protection to the transfer pumps, eliminating blockages and subsequent downtime. The installed SB and TR Munchers offer bulk reduction of the pre-shredded food waste to around 70% of the original volume, at low energy costs and can macerate a variety of solids within a flow, including hard particles. An important issue given that the plants process a wide range of organic waste in a variety of textures.
The TR Munchers make light work of fruit stones which jammed previous macerators causing the shafts to twist
and shear initiating costly repairs and downtime. Biodegradable waste passes through the Muncher cutters, which
revolve at differential speeds to pull apart, crop and shear any solids, such as bones, feathers, offal and vegetable waste. Liquid passes through the cutter stacks, whilst solids are trapped and macerated to a small consistent particle size, to help comply with legislation and improve process efficiency.
The Munchers are accompanied by Mono progressing cavity pumps providing maximum performance characteristics and efficient handling of highly viscous materials such as nonflowing pastes.

Classic Album Sundays and The Old Vinyl Factory celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", with a listening session and guest speakers all in aid of War Child.
The Old Vinyl Factory is the site of the former EMI pressing plant, where the first copies of seminal Pink Floyd album rolled of the presses in March 1973. Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy of Classic Album Sundays will host the event, with guest speakers providing a unique insight and perspective on the record and its production. And then the star attraction – the album itself – will receive an uninterrupted vinyl playback on an exquisite sound system provided by Absolute Sounds. With an audio menu that includes an EAT Forte S Turntable, Constellation amplification and Magico S5 Loudspeakers we will certainly be hearing some added details in this recording!
In addition to this unique event on an historic location, there will be an opportunity for guests to view a new exhibition on the site where EMI, the Gramophone Company and labels such as His Master's Voice were founded during its 90 years of recording history.
The sessions will be hosted in The Vinyl Lounge at The Old Vinyl Factory on Blythe Road, Hayes UB3 1HA. Ticket proceeds will go to the charity War Child and you can buy tickets here. Please arrive by 6 pm to get the whole experience (schedule below).

Hi There,
Firstly may I introduce myself; I'm the audio electronics design engineer for the turntable company Rega Research. I heard about the CAS Floyd's DSOM this coming Sunday and I wondered what turntable, cartridge & phono amplifier you are using as I believe you have used some of our gear in the past?
Sadly, I'm old enough to remember buying DSOM first time around and playing it on my much loved Quad II valve hi-fi system 40 years ago!
