We live in a highly competitive global economy. If our economy is to be strong, we need the best educated work force in the world.
There really is no shame. The Wall Street leaders whose recklessness and illegal behavior caused this terrible recession are now lecturing the American people on the need for courage to deal with the nation's finances and deficit crisis.
Nothing will change unless millions of people demand it and that's what this campaign is all about — mobilizing people at the grassroots level.
It is an American tragedy that in the last election, about 80 percent of young people did not vote. That is exactly what the ruling class of this country wants and we have got to change it.
Now is the time for millions of working families to come together, to revitalize American democracy, to end the collapse of the American middle class and to make certain that our children and grandchildren are able to enjoy a quality of life that brings them health, prosperity, security and joy
Today, we live in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world but that reality means very little for most of us because almost all of that wealth is owned and controlled by a tiny handful of individuals.

At the time the Church was organized, Joseph was called as its prophet and the Saints were told : "Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me; For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith."

Keys and Authority
In Gospel Doctrine class today, we read several verses from Doctrine and Covenants in which the keys of the priesthood are referred to. (We are on lesson eight.) An example is D&C 84:19: "This greater priesthood administereth the gospel and holdeth the key of the mysteries of the kingdom, even the key of the knowledge of God."
From the Pulpit: Notes on Repentance
In the noble tradition of literary hacks who never miss an opportunity to recycle old material, here are the interesting bits of a sacrament meeting talk I delivered in church today. Repentance is, at its simplest, a turning away from sin and a returning to God.
Petitionary Prayer
If we remember that the Father already knows our needs and desires, then the idea of prayer is strange.
Two Questions from Jim F. (2)
Second question (go here for the first): This question is more philosophical.
(When) are bloggers permitted to criticize church leaders?
This topic has come up in recent posts around the bloggernacle. For example, Rusty at Nine Moons discusses an instance where a bishop committed all of the men in the ward to "1) To never watch an R-rated movie ever again. Also, to never watch a PG-13 rated movie without his wife's permission. 2) To use the internet (at home presumably) only with his wife's permission (by assigning a password on the computer that only the wife knows)." The comments to Rusty's post include a number of attacks on him for posting criticism of the Bishop. (e.g., "did you pray [before posting this critique] . . . I can say with absolute certainty that you could not have"). Meanwhile, Steve at BCC wonders whether he is allowed to criticize conference talks for style. (The BCC commenters, perhaps inured to Steve's views, haven't yet asked him if he prayed before posting them, but I suppose it's just a matter of time).…
Getting Philosophical about Food Storage
The thing is: we don't eat the kinds of foods that one can store. A large chunk of our grocery purchases consist of fresh fruit, frozen vegetables (not the square carrots!), and cheese. Whenever I feel all penitent and motivated to store more food, I always hit a wall due to the discrepency between what we eat and what can be stored.
Precious Assurance of God's Fairness: Baptism for the Dead
A number of years ago I participated in a science and religion mail list with a group of scientists who were also Christians. It was there where I came to appreciate the faith of scientists of other religions who are able reconcile their faith (esp. Genesis) with modern science. I think everyone in the group accepted the finding that the earth is old, and so forth, often in ways that were remarkably compatible with what James Talmage taught in his landmark sermon, "The Earth and Man." BTW, that speech is especially important because, as Michael Ash points out, it appears to be "the only exposition of a Quorum member to have been reviewed and approved by at least some, if not all, of the First Presidency, and then published officially by the Church" ("The Mormon Myth of Evil Evolution," Dialogue, Vol. 35, 2003, pp. 19-59). A poignant moment came when a fellow scientist in the group lamented about the "fact"…

Conflicted Thoughts about Hyper-Righteousness
Over at Sons of Mosiah, Bob Caswell shares Bob Millet's theory on why some members of the Church get so darn hyper about little things: "Millett had another story of a relatively new member coming to him and asking if it was normal for a bishop to require no facial hair in order for a person to be worthy to receive a calling. Millett suggested that the person meet with his stake president. Well, this person did so only to find out that is was his stake president who instigated it! Millett posed the question: What does a person do in that situation? How do you tell a stake president he is wrong? It's not that easy, especially not in Utah County. Millett gave more examples of Utah County issues he's dealt with and continued to explain that when a population in a certain area is more than 80 percent Mormon, hyper-righteousness tends to occur, which eventually translates into self-righteousness…
The Anarchy of Revelation
I recently finished Jon Krakauer's book about Fundamentalist Mormons, called Under the Banner of Heaven: The Story of a Violent Faith (I know, I know, I am about a year behind in my reading list). The book was a fascinating read, though often frustrating for its reductionism, historical inaccuracies, and sometimes sophomoric view of religion. However, he does seem to make an interesting point about what I like to call the Anarchy of Revelation.
Looking on a woman to lust
I ought to avoid making a mountain out of a molehill and derailing the current discussion (though one more argument about same-sex marriage is the last thing I'm interested in, so I don't really mind if it gets derailed). Nevertheless, I think I should explain some of the cryptic remarks I made about lust more fully. Besides, I'm an academic. What else could I do but make mountains out of molehills.
The Nature of Satan, as Explained by a Seven Year Old
Seven-year-old: Satan doesn't have a body. Me: That's right. 7-YO: So he's a Spirit. Me: Yes. 7-YO (getting more excited): That's kind of like a ghost. Me: Yep. 7-YO (who has been playing a lot of pac-man lately) (very excited): So if you eat a power pill, then Satan turns blue, and then you can EAT HIM! Me: (trying very hard not to laugh) Umm, not quite . . .
Do we matter at all? Are we stones that leave no ripples?
We love God because he's just. We look at children in bad homes and console ourselves with knowing that their day will come. Every blessing God has offered us he'll offer them and through grace he'll clear them of whatever would impede their choice. We see the cemeteries full of people the gospel never reached and we're pleased to think of baptisms for the dead. When we ourselves have sinned in our parenting or our friendship or our calling and it seems very much like we've made it harder for our children or our husband or our friend to accept Christ and the Gospel we remember that men are punished for their own sins and not for ours. If we mess up, someone else will fix it, or God will offer grace if only our victims will accept it. We are comforted. We can hardly even bear all the inequity that natural disaster and inexorable history and wicked men do,…
Who We Are and What We Are Judged For
In a recent post, there was a bit of a debate about what we are or aren't allowed to be judged for. For example, suppose I honestly don't believe the Church to be true. I even pray about it. To what extent can I be punished for my lack of faith? In one sense, this is moot as a judgment tool for us because we never observe others' sincerity and it is not for us to judge other's eventual salvation or lack thereof. But we do need to know where we stand, so the the question may be worth thinking about. I would claim that we cannot rightly be blamed for anything that is done to us, only for what we do. Further, that we can only be blamed for something to the extent that it is of our own accord. To the extent that we are behaving as we have been conditioned by others, then that can't be our…
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Elder McConkie
I grew up in a home where I was taught from my earliest childhood to be skeptical of Elder Bruce R. McConkie. I was taught that he was overly dogmatic and that his urge to systemization was inconsistent with the spirit of continuing revelation and the core of the restored gospel. Good honor-thy-father-and-thy-mother-that-thy-days-may-be-long-upon-land child that I was, I imbibed this ethos and by the time I arrived at college I had a deep, anti-McConkie strain. While in the MTC I served with a missionary who was one of Elder McConkie's grandsons. He (the missionary not the apostle) informed me that it was alright for there to be people like me in the church because there were people like him (the missionary) whom the spirit had endowed with perfect knowledge. This clinched it for me. No hope for McConkie or his kin. Of late, however, I have made my peace. I have learned to stop worrying and love Elder McConkie.
"This is only a test. . .
. . . if it were an actual commandment, this message would be followed by a theologically sound explanation . . ."
There Has to Be Error
In a recent post on blessings, Heather notes that sometimes blessings promised don't happen and that there can be several reasons why this doesn't occur. I'd like to extend off that idea to note that, if we are to work by faith and not knowledge, things have to not work right sometimes. Thus I am highly skeptical of any evidence that shows too incontrovertibly the Book of Mormon is a historical record. I assume that someone will raise plausible objections to any such evidence given a little time. This is because I don't believe that most of us now on the earth are ready or best-served by factual certainty of many elements of the Gospel. If that were the case, then God would have left the plates here or sent them back to show around. If paying tithing always made you rich; if blessings that promised complete recovery always worked; if everyone who obeyed the Word of Wisdom was healthy…
What Does a Priesthood Blessing Give That a Similar Prayer Does Not?
I have the Melchezidek Priesthood. It gives me authority to officiate in certain ordinances and the responsibility to obey all the commandments and serve those around me. This I understand. Here is the question. If I bless someone as a Priesthood holder, is that blessing more likely to occur than if I were to have simply stood there and offered a prayer for their recovery? Perhaps this question is not sensible. Perhaps the effect of the Priesthood is to change what or when I pray. I am open to that. I think the question is sensible and the answer is (maybe) yes. I think that the Priesthood gives me the right to speak on behalf of God in a way that a prayer does not. A prayer is a petition. A blessing can be an answer wherein the holder acts as God's authorized servant. A blessing may also be us literally saying what God would say. But I believe that…

A year ago, Gregg Easterbrook articulated the interesting idea that "dark matter" (a substance most scientists now believe exists, and is a major component of the universe) may be a manifestation of the spiritual world. He wrote: Suppose it turns out to be correct that the preponderance of matter and energy in the universe occurs in a form that's around us everywhere, and yet we cannot sense or see it; that there is a pervasive physical reality that passes through ours with hardly any direct interaction. This is practically a definition of the spiritual plane. Easterbrook's position has been criticized by others, but has always sounded like a nice theory to me. In particular, I was just thinking how we can understand this as church members, because of certain verses in the section of the Doctrine and Covenants we call the Olive Leaf.
Causing Others to Sin
Kristine raises some interesting points in her discussion of modesty. The comments (which have been very interesting so far) have made me reflect on an argument I often hear raised by church members: Women shouldn't wear revealing clothes, because that will make men think unchaste thoughts about them. (This particular argument isn't in the comments to Kristine's thread; Ben Huff comes somewhat close, when he argues that women have a heavier modesty burden than men, due to the sinful nature of the world). As I've suggested before in comments on this blog, I don't find this reasoning to be particularly convincing.
The Faith of Abraham
Jesus is our Great Exemplar, the one who invites us, "Follow thou me." We are counseled to consider how Jesus would act if he were in our shoes, and to model our lives after his. Some inspiring scriptural passages describe the potential we have to become like him.
The Value of Esotericism
When I began participating in online discussion forums, I selected the nickname "Grasshopper," rather than using my real name. One of the perceived benefits of the Internet is our anonymity (except on this onymous blog, of course). Benefit, yes, but also a drawback, to some extent, since someone posting pseudonymously is clearly hiding something and cannot be fully trusted, right?
Read more →Leading the Church Astray
My question about what precisely we mean when we say that the prophet will never lead the Church astray came up on another thread. I'd like to explore that question here. A few notes to begin the discussion:
True to the Faith
True to the Faith was introduced to the Church in the April 2004 Ensign: "The Church has issued a new doctrinal guidebook aimed at youth, young single adults, and new members. True to the Faith: A Gospel Reference is a collection of brief, simple statements on gospel doctrines and principles. Almost 200 pages in length, the book is intended to supplement the scriptures and the counsel of current Church leaders. Young men and young women may use it as a resource to assist them in achieving their Duty to God and Personal Progress awards. The book is designed to accompany the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet and explains the doctrine behind the standards it contains. Priesthood quorums and Relief Society groups may also offer the book to new members to better acquaint them with the doctrines of the restored gospel. True to the Faith is available at Church distribution centers for $1.50."
Mother's Day
It's almost Mother's Day. I don't like Mothers' Day. You might expect to hear that from a woman who is childless, or who has strained relations with her children. I'm a married, at-home mom, and I enjoy being a mom. But I still don't like Mothers' Day.
That awful smallpox story
One of the more disturbing images from General Conference was in Elder Packer's use of a story (a version of which I've heard before elsewhere) about chicken pox and smallpox. Elder Packer stated: "When I was in the seventh grade, in a health class, the teacher read an article. A mother learned that the neighbor children had chicken pox. She faced the probability that her children would have it as well, perhaps one at a time. She determined to get it all over with at once. So she sent her children to the neighbor's to play with their children to let them be exposed, and then she would be done with it. Imagine her horror when the doctor finally came and announced that it was not chicken pox the children had; it was smallpox. The best thing to do then and what we must do now is to avoid places where there is danger of physical or spiritual contagion."
Reproductive Ethics
As a result of the 'saved in childbearing' discussion, my husband and I came up with two interesting ethical questions:

Exhumed Films presents
Long awaited landing of Goblin in North America
Almost 40 years removed from their debut, cult legends Goblin will launch their first ever North American tour this October. The tour will start October 1st in Atlanta and will culminate with a two night run of performances in Austin, TX at the Housecore Horror Film Festival on Oct 25 and 27.
The Italian Soundtrack Kings will perform all of their classic cuts, including scores from Deep Red, Suspiria, Tenebrae, and other songs that are milestones among prog rock followers, including songs from Roller, Il fantastico Viaggio del Bagarozzo Mark, and most recent Back to the Goblin. Other famous scores never performed live anywhere will be included on this tour.
First signals of a reunion started 8 years ago when Massimo Morante and Maurizio Guarini, together with other members of Goblin, released a new album, Back to the Goblin, after a long absence. The band felt it was time to expose the music to new generations of fans and invigorate their loyal following. In 2009, Goblin started touring the world, hitting the major European cities including Rome, Paris, London, Berlin and many others (in 2010 Claudio Simonetti re-joined the band). The band found the tour to be a great success, and the fan base kept growing, bringing back the old enthusiastic crowds of the seventies and converting new fans of all ages along the way. To follow this up, in 2011/2012 the band ventured to Japan and Australia and met the same enthusiasm. This led to an increased desire to come to North America as a full band for the first time ever.
The tour will include a small amount of VIP ticketing, allowing fans to meet the band, get up close, see part of the soundcheck, and walk away with commemorative poster.
The line up for this tour will include original members since 1975 Claudio Simonetti and Maurizio Guarini (keyboards) and Massimo Morante (guitar). The band is rounded out by drummer Titta Tani and bassist Bruno Previtali that joined in 2010.
Support on the tour (up to October 20) will come from the Northern California based Secret Chiefs 3, formed by Mr. Bungle founding member Trey Spruance. Secret Chiefs 3 have developed quite a cult following of their own over the last 15 years with their blend of other worldly psychedelic rhythms and melodies.
Producing work that is epic in concept, sound, and artistic approach, Steve Moore and A.E. Paterra, the masterminds and multi-instrumentalists behind Zombi, have re-imagined the architecture of progressive rock and dynamic instrumentals—carving a niche in underground music distinctly their own. The band's signature sound, achieved using only electric bass, drums, and a collection of analog synthesizers, is deceptively lush considering its two man skeleton crew ensemble. Moore's bass playing and meticulous synthesizer programming interacts seamlessly with Paterra's controlled, precision drumming—as if each man is anticipating his counterpart's next move. Whether you're an adventurous listener, diehard fan, or skeptical observer, delving into the latest chapter of Zombi's prolific and ever-evolving work will never disappoint. - Matthew Newton

Telemedicine via satellite – the way forward
ESA is one step nearer to establishing a Telemedicine via Satellite Programme thanks to a constructive meeting with telemedicine experts that took place at ESRIN early last week.
Last Monday the European Space Research Institute (ESRIN) hosted a one-day Road Map Symposium to report on the work that had been done since the last meeting a year ago and to decide on the way forward.
At the meeting were representatives of WHO, industry, and doctors and administrators directly involved in the health sector. This is in line with ESA's policy to involve end users and associated stakeholders from the very beginning. As Claudio Mastracci, Special Advisor to ESA's Director General reminded the Symposium, "ESA is in listening mode".
ESA's emphasis on end-users is also visible in the make-up of the working group, nearly all of whom are directly involved in health care. For a year now they have been working to lay the foundations for a future ESA Programme on Telemedicine via satellite. Discussions took place between participants and members of the working group who reported on the eight areas of telemedicine under study. These are:
- interconnectivity for health care services
- services for citizens
- healthcare at home
- mobility
- management of trauma, emergencies and disasters
- early warning of environmental health risks
- eHealth education
- vision for eHealth and telemedicine via satellite
TM at work
A number of telemedicine projects are already up and working in a number of countries. During the day, two pilot projects that receive ESA funding and benefit from satellite telecommunications were on show. One of these was a Canadian project for home telehealth visits. Through the use of the home television and a wireless health monitoring kit, nurses are able to check the health of their patients from their office or even from their home.
Results so far show that nurses are able to 'visit' 16 to 20 patients a day instead of the 6 to 8 home visits they carried out previously. There are also financial savings as they have no travelling, and they have less paperwork as data is transferred electronically from patient to nurse.
Patients also benefit, particularly those living in remote areas, as they no longer have to leave their homes to receive health care. Increased monitoring has also led to fewer hospital referrals.
The other demonstration on view was a fully equipped ambulance for use in emergencies. This pilot project, called NESA for Next Generation Emergency Satellite Assistance, is about to begin in the Italian town of Vicenza. It will enable ambulance staff called to the scene of an accident to send via satellite information, including Xrays, to a central medical centre.
With this information the centre can carry out an initial diagnosis and send the information on to the most suitable medical centre for that particular patient. This saves time – vital in an emergency - as the ambulance goes directly to the correct medical centre which is ready and waiting for its arrival.
Progress and difficulties
Telemedicine is an area where the technology is ahead of the ability or the will to put it into practice. The goal to work for is a global telemedicine service so that all citizens, wherever they may be, can be assured of receiving the best quality treatment available.
Satellite telecommunications have much to offer as in remote areas, in emergencies and on planes and ships, they are the best, if not the only, means of ensuring the transmission of data in real time. Telemedicine can also help to remove the digital divide by providing access to good medical services and training to doctors and health-care workers in all areas of the globe resulting in equality of service for all.
Before this can be accomplished, however, there are a number of legal, financial, social, technical and security aspects that need to be worked on. Even before a European-wide system can be put into operation questions of interoperability need to be resolved so that the systems used in different countries are compatible. Last but not least, the political will to iron out these problems is needed.
Taking into account the opinions voiced at the symposium, the working group is now finalising its report in order to present an ESA Programme on Telemed via Satellite to the ESA Council next year.
As Prof. Lareng, Director of the European Institute for Telemedicine said in his closing remarks, "If the project is accepted then we can press ahead and eventually also cover other areas such as Africa. In certain situations satellites can be the only way of reducing the digitial divide in telemedicine. This is our mission for the future."

Mr. Kawasaki set as his goal for the book to help entrepreneurs and others starting enterprises reduce the preparatory time and move straight into development. (Prep time including visiting with various experts to collect ideas, learn potential problems that can be avoided, etc.)
Mr. Kawasaki writes with style, verve and an appealing since of humor.
He starts with a summary of five things that each new effort should include. One of the intriguing concepts is to avoid developing a mission statement, but instead develop a very short mantra. Having been in some very unproductive, long, painful, meetings where mission statements were being hatched, I can appreciate the recommendation. As an example, he uses the famous "Think" from IBM as an example (I have one of the paperweights from years gone by that IBM used to give to customers that has the Think motto engraved).
Another recommendation from Mr. Kawasaki is to move straight to product development and selling. Product testing in his view is the realm of big established businesses – not start-ups. Build and modify in response to customer reactions. If customers use the product differently from your, plan, celebrate it and see if you can spread that utilization to create more customers.
Chapters roughly follow the development cycle of start-up formation, product development and refinement, capital raising, partnering, brand development and growth phase. The book concludes with a chapter on "The Art of Being a Mensch", a treatise on being nice to everyone you meet, regardless of their circumstance.
Each Chapter has an FAQ section, with very useful questions and answers, presumably culled from questions the author received during speaking engagements. I found those contained immense practical advice and good common sense. I give Mr. Kawasaki extra credit for his quotes. While opening chapters and adding the occasional quote is a technique widely used, he found a variety of really cool, totally appropriate, quotes.
This book isn't new – it's been around for a while. But if you are involved in a start-up, or doing a new venture inside an existing company, I think you will find something of both interest and value.
Highly recommended.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Friday called for banking supervisors to pay "close attention" to compensation practices as they examine the soundness of financial institutions.
Banking regulators have observed that "poorly designed compensation policies can create perverse incentives that can ultimately jeopardize the health of the banking organization," Bernanke told a meeting of smaller "community" banks.
The Fed chief's remarks come amid public and congressional outrage over millions of dollars in bonuses paid to employees of American International Group Inc., which has been bailed out by the government four times. The situation has created a public relations headache for President Barack Obama and unleashed fresh congressional furor over the handling of AIG's bailout by the Treasury Department and the Fed.
Bernanke, who will appear before Congress on the AIG flap next week, didn't mention any companies by name in his speech. He made a fresh pitch for an overhaul of banking regulations to prevent another financial crisis like the one gripping the U.S. and other countries worldwide.
Regulatory gaps need to be closed, he said. Regulators must make sure financial companies have a sufficient capital cushion against potential losses.
And Congress must enact legislation so that the failure of a huge financial institution can be handled in such a way to minimize fallout to the national economy — similar to how the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. deals with bank failures. Such "too big to fail" companies must be subject to more rigorous supervision to prevent them from taking excessive risk, Bernanke said.
Obama said Wednesday his administration soon will propose new financial industry oversight that includes a resolution authority with powers similar to those of the FDIC, which can seize control of banks, take over their bad assets and sell the good ones to competitors.
The proposal would give the Treasury secretary the power, after consulting with officials at the Fed, to take control of a major financial institution and run it. The Treasury chief is an official of the administration, unlike the FDIC, which is an independent regulatory agency.
On compensation, Bernanke said management policies should be aligned with the "long-term prudential interests of the institution ... (and) provide appropriate incentives for safe and sound behavior."
"Supervisors must pay close attention to compensation practices that can create mismatches between the rewards and risks borne by institutions or their managers," he said.
Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, on Thursday sent a letter asking the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which regulates mortgage finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to cancel retention bonuses for hundreds of executives approved for this year and next.
But Fannie Mae Chief Executive Herbert Allison warned Friday that canceling bonuses for workers at institutions receiving federal bailout money could undermine his company's efforts to stabilize the U.S. housing market.
Fannie Mae plans to pay retention bonuses totaling at least $1 million over two years to four key executives. Freddie Mac is planning similar awards, but hasn't reported which executives will benefit.
For strengthening regulations, Bernanke said steps should be taken to make the U.S. financial system less susceptible to "exuberant booms and disastrous busts."
The patchwork of U.S. financial rules dates to the Civil War. Congress, the administration and the Fed are working on ways to overhaul the regulatory system to better protect against any future financial crises.
Government bailouts of AIG, Citigroup Inc., Bank of America Corp., and others have put billions of taxpayers' dollars at risk over the past year and angered the American public.
"These actions have involved extremely unpleasant and difficult choices," Bernanke said. However, a failure of a huge, globally interconnected company would have had potentially devastating effects on the financial system and the broader economy.
"I do not think we have had a realistic alternative to preventing such failures," Bernanke said.
The Fed's $1.2 trillion bid Wednesday to lower interest rates to get Americans spending again is intended to improve conditions in credit markets, which would help revive the economy, Bernanke said. The timing of an economic recovery hinges on whether the Fed and the Obama administration are successful in stabilizing the financial system.
When the financial system shows signs of recovery, the Fed will begin to wind down its special loan and debt-buying programs.
"So we are very much aware that we won't be in the credit markets forever. We need to help them now. But we want to have an exit strategy and allow those markets to recover and become, once again, fully private sector," Bernanke said after his speech.

Hey guys I was looking at a few catback exhaust setups and was wondering what you guys were thinking so feel free to chime in. I had Magnapacks on my old GT and liked them alot but was thinking about doing something different namely Bassani SS Catback the price is nearly twice that then the price of the magnapacks after stangnets rebate ($700+ for the bassani). I know people say the sound is wicked but is it really worth the extra nearly 400 bucks that could be used on a pulley and tuner setup?
I have a Bassani cb and catted x on now (1 1/2 weeks old) which replaced a Magnaflow cab & catted x (3.5 months old)....both sound good...Bassani a deeper sound. I am curious as how the Magnaflow cb will sound with the Bassani x and am going to try that tomorrow. If I like it...I will have a virtually brand new bassani ss cb for sale....I will give you a deal on it.
It depends on what you want out of an exhaust. do you want something that's mellow until you get on it or do you not care and want as much horsepower as possible?
Bassani sounds more edgy and snarley, the Magnaflow is more conservative, soft, and mellowed. I picked up a Bassani catback on my late cobra for $355 shipped, of course it was a BX series. (aluminum) Unless you deal with snow and salty roads, aluminized exhausts will most likely outlast the life of the car. So I would go for a BX series bassani. They still have SS cased mufflers and SS tips.
Bassani I waited a long time for exhaust so I could hear many of them. Bassani was my favorite. Magnaflow sounds good but much more muffled. If you drive normal with bassani and leave the baffles in its not very loud. It roars without the baffles when you get on it.
I did a lot of research when deciding which catback to go with on my 97 Cobra. I read a lot of articles in magazines as well as website dynos, etc. I concluded that Magnaflow had the best over all HP/Torque increases to the rear wheels. It sounds tough, but no drone when cruising down the highway. Much better than the old Flowmasters I had on my 86 GT! With the addition of a Densecharger cold air kit, this car is screaming. I can't keep the wheels on the pavement. Even if I "feather" the clutch, I can roast the tires nearly all the way thru 2nd gear when full throttle. I plan to go with a Magnaflow catted X-pipe next year and get rid of the stock H-pipe. I had one of these on that old GT and with the shorty headers it made a huge difference. I saw a dyno on a 03 Mach1 where they only added a Magnaflow X-pipe and catback exhaust plus a K&N filter, and gained 24 HP and 25 torque at the rear wheels. That's a nice increase for $800!
Just had a magnaflow put on my 99 Cobra and I really like it. No drone, mellow at cruising speeds, but nice at WOT. No dyno yet, but soon. I have a sound file on my website. My midpipe is stock. www.azdroptop.homestead.com 385ish shipped to my door.
Must.... resist..... posting.... in.... another.... catback.... exhaust.... opinion.... thread.... U.M. Depends on how much money you're willing to spend for a specific sound. None of the major catbacks have a SIGNIFICANT HP/TQ increase/decrease over each other. Well actually, the flowmasters are down quite a bit compared to the other major brands.... get whatever makes ya happy!
i have bassani catbac and x pipe with cats or without (u can remove them) and its pretty loud all stainless costed about 1200
One Word...BASSANI Get the Street Competition C/B if you want a nice gain a LOUD setup, ill be getting the SC Catback and Bassani O/R X when i get my cobra. I wonder if itll be loud enough for me? OT Craig Mack, WTF happened to teh Cobra bro? PM me and let me know. I never got a sound-clip <----------- Le sad
I just switched from borla stingers to bassani.The borlas sounded awsome with a stock h-pipe or catted x-pipe, but with out cats it was way to loud for my taste, couldnt zip around in traffic , sounded like a nascar,sounded good but LOUD.What I like about the Bassani is you can roll on the throttle if needed and its loud but not holy chit loud.Very deep, nice sounding and high quailty.Its eye candy,its ashame its under the car were you cant see it except when you change your oil .Since I had my stiegemeier ported blower put on it sounds even deeper and meaner guess she's pushing a little more air
I like my magnaflow for my 99 Cobra, 353 shipped brand new, and its not loud at all, clean, bit it should really wake up when I add bassani mid lengths and an off road x.
Sorry, but the Flows do sound good but don't really add much HP or torque. I had them on my 86GT, but did not see much of a difference until I added a Magnaflow X-Pipe and shorty headers to it. I have read several comparative articles that Bassani and SLP don't add but about 3-5HP. I agree that Borlas are really loud. Get your car dyno'd, then add Magnaflows and dyno again. I bet you'll see 10-15HP gain at the rear wheels. Go with their Magnapacks if you like it loud or regular if you want a low tone at idle and mean sound at throttle. I will never buy another brand again.
Catted X and Magnaflows are on the way....didn't want to spend the extra money for a little bit better sound and it seemed like that was the best bang for the buck..... I look at it this way that 500 bucks i saved by not going bassani will pay for a pulley and tune or at least close to it

I've had my PSP for around nine months now and I've been treated to some awesome handheld gaming during that time. The likes of Ridge Racers, WipeOut Pure and FIFA have all blown me away and had me constantly reminding myself that I was playing on a handheld console. But Virtua Tennis: World Tour takes the PSP up a notch, and leaves you wondering if you are ever going to switch your PS2 and Xbox on again.
As with previous Virtua Tennis games, what makes World Tour so brilliant is its simplicity. This is a game that you can just pick up and play without any previous knowledge and enjoy every second. Of course you may only find each game lasting a matter of seconds, because although the gameplay is simple, the game itself is far from easy.
The simplicity I speak of is very apparent in the control method. Movement can be controlled via the D-Pad or the analogue stick, while the X button will give you a topspin stroke, the O button a backspin stroke and the Square button a lob. That's pretty much it, except it's not. Not only do you have three different shot buttons, moving the analogue stick or D-Pad while striking the ball will determine where your shot is placed. Add to this the fact that you can apply varying degrees of power depending on your timing when striking the ball, and you've got a hell of a lot to think about in a split second – a little bit like playing tennis one might say!
You'll soon find out that the "simple" gameplay becomes a lot more complicated when you play your first tournament. You might cruise past the first few opponents, but when you reach the Semi-Final things start to get tough. But it's when you reach the final that you realise how much you still have to learn – not only will your opponent play almost perfect strokes, his footwork will be light and fast and he'll have an almost psychic ability to judge where you're going to play the ball. After replaying the final a dozen or so times, you'll come to realise that some training is in order.
Luckily for you Sega has thrown a handy little career mode into the mix, where you have to build your player up in order for him/her to dominate the World Tour of the title. You can increase the skill of your player by entering a plethora of mini games that are designed to improve every aspect of your game – you can improve your serve by knocking down skittles, sharpen up your footwork by grabbing flags while balls are fired at you, or even practice your volleys by hitting balls onto a target on the ground.

In a humorous update to yesterday's post on the Farrow & Ball wallpaper hung upside down, it turns out the kitchen is in the apartment of Lonny editorial assistant Ellie Somerville. A renter, she hung the expensive wallpaper with double sided tape. So all is not lost, she can always rehang the wallpaper right side up in this apartment or the next if she wishes. All's well that ends well.

I never thought the mystery would be solved. Upside down or not, using double-sided tape is an amazing idea for renters (or even for those that like to change their decor often).

Safeway is not usually my supermarket of choice (no offense Safeway); but it does happen to be the closest grocery store to my house, so I run in there -(OK - if you know me in real life, you KNOW I don't RUN anywhere); rather I stop there for any last minute necessities or bagels. I'll give them that. Compared to their competitors, for a supermarket, they have a decent bagel - but I digress...
So I stopped at Safeway for a couple of things and as I was attempting to select some bananas, I was mesmerized by the woman who breezed by, picked up a bunch, put them in her cart and moved on. "REALLY?" I thought, "It's just that easy for her? No perusing for bruising or checking for firmness? Just - oh these are bananas, I'll just take em and go? Wow! What must THAT be like?
Now I'm sure you're thinking (because you know I HAVE to tell ya what I think you're thinking.) "Seriously? No blog for five months and she just starts off about picking some bananas like that has ANYTHING to do with (say it with me), "The Greater Good?" But alas, it does... Somehow, standing there and thinking those thoughts I knew it was time for me to get back to "The Bumpy Ride", which some might say, is for the "Greater Good."; and that is why I chose to start out this long, overdue, post by telling you about the bananas rather than lamenting over what I've been doing and why it's been so long since I've written.
Trust me when I tell you that I don't consider myself any busier than the next person. Which is to say, that I don't think you need to hear my excuses about how busy I've been and why I haven't been able to write. I can assure you that I am fully aware of the irony of my situation. It baffles me how I managed to write "The Ride" everyday for a year last year and yet this is the first time in months that I've been able to make time to write. But I swear to you, it's not for lack of wanting to. If you're not a first time Rider, then you know I'm the Queen of COMMITMENT and over the past several months, I've had MANY. So rather than telling you why I've been busy - in the interest of (say it with me) "The Greater Good", I'll tell you what I've learned... One of the most important jobs of a parent is advocating for the best interests of your child - academically, athletically, emotionally, and psychologically. It's often hard to know what to do, but it's your responsibility to figure it out and do all you can to help your child achieve all that they're capable of. I learned that perseverance and honesty pay off. I learned that forgiveness is freeing and that confidence is the cure for anxiety. I learned that no matter how full your home is, there's always room for one more. I learned that making people feel good, safe and happy is one of the greatest things I do and its reward is more precious than money. I've learned that old dogs can learn new tricks. I've learned that even if your pockets are empty and times are tough, you can always find ways to be charitable. I've learned that (as I've suspected), I really do have my finger on the pulse of what's hot and upcoming. Yes, last year alone, I wrote about Alex Guarnaschelli and how awesome I thought she was and now she's like the Food Network's next big deal. Just check them out, she's popping up on all their shows. Also, you may recall that I predicted Billy Crystal would host the next Oscars and HELLO, have you heard?? I've learned that time can heal wounds, that help sometimes comes from the most unexpected places and that "Can't" means you haven't REALLY tried. I've learned that you need to love and accept yourself even when you're not exactly as you'd like to be. And lastly, (well probably not lastly, but lastly for the sake of this list), I've learned that I'm not ready to give up on my dream. And so, if you'll have me, I REALLY want to try and get back on track and start sharing my stories with you again. There will be tales and pictures from my New York trip, I promise! As well as all the observational humor that I can muster, and as many recommendations that I can make for yes, (say it with me again) "The Greater Good."
A GREAT big thank you to all of you who've encouraged me to start writing again and to everyone who has missed me and "The Bumpy Ride." I've made a few changes, such as "The Ride's" new appearance, (please share your thoughts on that), my updated profile picture, AND I've decided that since all the things I am or am not Queen of, really just make me who I am; I'll now be signing off -
Till next time...

The sight of Phil Jones and Jordan Henderson out on the training pitch here yesterday convinced the England Under-21 manager Stuart Pearce that there is bright young talent coming through the ranks, even if he is inclined to raise an eyebrow at the fees it can command.
Although neither player's transfer had been formally completed at that point, Pearce had been keen that the pair's part in negotiations and medicals should be over in time for them to join his squad late on Wednesday night, ahead of yesterday's first training session in preparation for the European Championship beginning this weekend. They duly threw themselves into practice, showing little sign of being burdened by a combined fee of £37m.
"I know what sort of players I'm dealing with," Pearce said. "They're fantastically focused players and an absolute pleasure to work with. I had contact with both of them beforehand to go and tie up individual deals this week with the clubs. If I was in their position I'd want a deal tied up before I went to a major championship, I wouldn't want to be worrying about it and I think that was their mentality as well.
"I think the market's a little bit distorted financially, but I'm not taking anything away from the real talent there. If I was a club manager and I had the finance to buy those two, I would do it at the drop of a hat. For their ability and also for their mentality to want to get better and be level-headed kids."
Keen as he is to see young English players given an opportunity at the biggest clubs, even Pearce has been surprised at Chris Smalling's progress, admitting that he never expected to be watching him in a Champions League semi-final this season. That was a bonus, as one of the problems for an Under-21 manager is that he needs people who are playing first-team football as often as possible rather than low-key reserve games. He may be prepared to make an exception for Jones next season.
Manchester United and Liverpool's new acquisitions seem certain starters in Sunday's opening group match against Spain, having played important roles in England's qualification. Indeed, Jones, who will be alongside his new United club-mate Smalling, has never lost an England game at any level. "They've got a steely determination between the two of them," Pearce said of the partnership that helped his team through a tricky play-off over two legs against Romania.
"They want to defend, they're happy to get hit with the ball to keep it out the back of the net. That's a real trait to have. Look at the likes of [Nemanja] Vidic, and see how he enjoys defending. People don't like playing against him. I think these two have got a bit of that in them as well."
The Ipswich striker Connor Wickham may agree after being forced out of training yesterday with a knock on the ankle following a collision with Jones, but the injury is not regarded as serious. Another striker in the squad, Aston Villa's Nathan Delfouneso, summed up Jones well as "a bit old-school and a bit modern in that he has a physical side but also technique".
With Kieran Gibbs having been ruled out of the tournament because of an ankle injury, Pearce enjoyed himself playing at left-back in a training game yesterday, watched by several hundred local children at the ground of Fredericia FC, a Danish club whose new manager is the former European Footballer of the Year (and, briefly, Charlton Athletic player) Allan Simonsen.
Afterwards Pearce emphasised the points made in The Independent yesterday by Sir Trevor Brooking about the importance of experience gained in tournaments like these – and of winning them: "I think we've got a lot of lessons to learn and the one reason I would say that is you have to look at the trophy cabinet. It never lies."
Clearly still sore about Arsenal's reluctance to release Jack Wilshere, Pearce replied when asked for one specific lesson to be learnt: "You need to turn up to tournaments with your best players for a start. I fought tooth and nail to get Theo Walcott here two years ago. Doing my job the best I can, I have to make sure the best players in England are here. And it's a mouthwatering prospect for our players to take on the best Spain have to offer on Sunday."
