The Harmony Pathway Launch
In celebration of Harmony Day on Friday 21st March, The Song Room launched The Harmony Pathway; an innovative seven-way partnership that physically links three schools together to celebrate their cultural diversity with a student-built mosaic pathway between the school buildings.
With the assistance of mosaic artist Helen Harman, students, parents and communities of Noble Park English Language School (NPELS) Casey Campus, River Gum Primary School and Hampton Park Secondary College designed and created multicultural themed mosaic artworks that formed pathways and exhibitions that now link the schools.
This project symbolised the schools' commitment to easing students' transitions from the English Language School to mainstream school and the transition from primary to high school. Students have also been exploring their cultural identity and learning more about other cultures in their community through this shared artistic process.
"The Harmony Day Project has allowed our students to build their leadership skills mentoring the younger students and has given our community the opportunity to celebrate our rich cultural diversity." – Teacher, Hampton Park Secondary College
The pathway was launched with a performance event that filled the Performing Arts Centre on the grounds of Hampton Park Secondary College. Over 300 students performed with over 420 students and 130 parents and community members attending the event. The launch kicked off with a tour of the mosaic works, with parents and community members walking to the beat of West African drummers and Song Room Teaching Artist Mohamed Camara. Mosaic artist Helen Harman and the students who created the work introduced the works as we walked through the mosaics. on the way to the Performing Arts Centre.
Performances ranged from Afghani, Samoan, and Punjabi dance, to Spanish, West African, Samoan song and culminated in an incredible performance by Afghanistan's famous Taqi Khan.
The goal of the project was to bring together different cultural groups to ease cultural tension in the area, particularly between Afghani and Pasifika groups. The following quotes from students show that this project was successful in bringing the schools and the varied cultures within the schools together:
"The best thing is meeting all the different people, and all the cultures that we have been introduced to, and got to experience. I learnt a lot about the Pakistani and Afghan girls, I learnt a lot about them and their culture, and their beliefs. I probably wouldn't have spoken to them before, we just don't interact."
"It is a really good way to talk to each other, because we are all in one spot at once, and we are all talking while we are working on the tiles to bring us all together. That is exactly what it is doing .. doing mosaics, it's different, it is fun, it is just creative, it gives you time to talk to those people. In class you're sort of concentrating and asking for help, but that it all you are doing. But doing this, I don't know, there is something different about it."
"The purpose of the mosaics is to bring all the schools together. I think it is working. We met quite a few people at the other schools. We are sort of connected more now. It feels really good that when I am older I will be able to drive past the school and think 'this is what I did.'"
The Harmony Pathway project was coordinated by The Song Room. The project was funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services through the Diversity and Social Cohesion program. Further funding was generously granted by Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation, Collier Charitable Fund and supported by The City of Casey.

Reed's story on Tiguas doesn't match Abramoff's
Republican activist Ralph Reed's story about his efforts to close the Tigua Tribe's casino in Texas contradicts the one told by disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Reed, a close friend of Abramoff's, has admitted taking $4.1 million from the lobbyist for a public relations campaign against the tribe. His spokesperson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that "he worked so hard to close" the casino, the subject of a lawsuit by the state of Texas.
But Abramoff, in an interview with The New York Times, said the money was directed towards the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe and that the Tiguas were merely "collateral damage." He then got the Tiguas to pay $4.2 million to his partner, Michael Scanlon, for a public relations campaign to support the casino.
Reed denies being part of this effort. Yet he took a private jet to an exclusive golf trip in Scotland aimed at convincing Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) to support legislation to reopen the casino.
Reed's actions will be the subject of a Senate Indian Affairs Committee hearing on Wednesday. It is not know if Reed will be called to testify. Another Republican activist, Grover Norquist of the anti-tax group Americans for Tax Reform, has said he won't appear.
According to Newsweek, the committee plans to release more documents about Reed's efforts against gaming in Alabama. With the help of Abramoff Norquist, Reed took $1.1 million from the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians to help two Christian groups defeat gambling proposals.
Reed is currently running for lieutenant governor of Georgia. He won the endorsement of former Sen. Zell Miller, a Democrat.

Peta has no idea about video games. No surprises there!
Why did the whale cross the road?…To get to the other tide
It would seem by recent media comment that animal rights lobby group PETA think that killing whales in the new Assassin's Creed video game means that players will go out and kill "ALL THE WHALES" themselves. Or something.
Whale lover Matt Bruce from Peta said:
"In Assassin's Creed 4, you get ahead by killing. Joe Shmoe who plays this game in his mother's basement in the safety and comfort of his home will feel a sense of accomplishment by killing this whale."
And he'll probably get gamer achievement points too Matt. Those are really important to gamers.
"This would be a different story if the game portrayed the cruelty and horror experienced when a whale is literally fleeing for her life and then shot with a harpoon — or even several harpoons — and forced to struggle for hours or be hacked apart while still alive aboard a ship," Bruce said.
So basically PETA reckons whales should only be depicted when they die with fear in their eyes?
Personally, this writer doesn't support the killing of whales and thinks the Japanese people suck when it comes to their whale culling for 'scientific purposes'. However PETA is being rather stupid with their Assassin's Creed admonishment – their argument is pretty much akin to saying that all copies of Moby Dick must be removed from libraries all over the world and burnt. Good luck with that Matt Bruce!
Ubisoft's senior PR manager, Stone Chin (what an awesome name!), who must be loving the free publicity for their new game ,responded with some common sense:
"History is our playground in Assassin's Creed. Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is a work of fiction that depicts the real events during the golden era of pirates. We do not condone illegal whaling, just as we don't condone a pirate lifestyle of poor hygiene, plundering, hijacking ships and over-the-legal-limit drunken debauchery."
Ha. I love it when PR folks forget the dry drivel they usually serve up to the press and choose to mock pirates instead.
And let's put all this in perspective. Except for Star TrekIV: The Undiscovered Country where it was learned that whales are more important than humans in terms of saving the Earth from a strange alien force, I'm pretty sure that human life is more important than the lives of whales. So for a game franchise that's about sneaking up on humans and killing them (indeed, ASSASSINATING them) why is no body jumping up and down about that?
Oh wait.
We bet these idiots hate Star Wars facts as well.

What happened when Dave left his guitar at my house
My brother Dave was dumb enough to recently leave his guitar at my house. Which means it got sanded down and stained, because that's what I do. This is no ordinary guitar however. It's one of those 'back from the dead' guitars that can still manage to carry a raucous sing-a-long to About a Girl by Nirvana. As you can see, it was once smashed up and placed on a wall of a student flat. I approve that it hung below a picture of Courtney Love getting her tits out at the Big Day Out. Bless.
Someone eventually took it off the wall, banged some nails in it, taped the already taped down body even more and she was good to go.
After Uni was done and dusted Dave and a mate toured all over NZ and the guitar went from Cape Reinga to Stewart Island via a few dodgy hitch hiking adventures and the odd illegal jump on the back of a train trip.
Let's be clear. This guitar was beginner's guitar. It was probably worth 30 bucks on Trade Me in it's prime. And it's prime was before Trade Me was even an idea in Sam's mind. And after the smashing up incident, this thing was a piece of shit but it had a nice tune so it was with a lil bit of, "I better not fuck this up" and I started the project.
Taking off the Victoria Beckham, Olo Brown, Silverchair stickers and the sticky tape was pretty easy which meant it was obvious I'd fuck up pretty quickly and on the first sand I went with a very course grit which meant I took a massive amount of the veneer away, exposing an underlay of wood that was not supposed to see the light of the day. Crap.
But I kept going and then sanded the shit out of the guitar using finer grit sand paper. In amongst all of that, I glued the body back down and drilled some screws into the base of the neck in an effort to straighten it as it was a bit out of whack (indeed to compensate for that, the bridge had a popsicle stick placed in it to raise the strings up to compensate).
After that some work on the fret board was required, so I went to MusicWorks where the Manager ordered me in some fret wire which I then cut up and banged into the fret board with a hammer. I then screwed up by trying to fill the holes with some plaster which fixed the hole but looked pretty ugly.
Fretless neck
Then it was on to the fun stuff, the staining. I looked on the on net for advice on how to stain a guitar. It turns out that if you want to do a good job, you basically need 10 years experience as a luthier or have access to a guitar workshop. But, there is always a cheat and I found an awesome cheat.
Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil Stock Finish is a kit for staining, oiling and finishing gun stocks and the internet suggested it could be used on guitars and given it was a fairly cheap all in one solution, I gave it a shot.
The stain was the classic 'walnut' but the guitar sure did not come up like that, more what I might described as a 'dirty beach tide' which looked awesome! I left the guitar alone for a week or two after that to let things settle and then I oiled the guitar with the Tru Oil which really added some life to the guitar. Here's the stained guitar:
If you have a look at the top picture, you'll recall the guitar was covered with stickers and twinked on quotes, including the lyric, "and I forget just why I taste" which grunge fans might know as a line from Nirvana's Teen Spirit. So, to give the guitar back a little taste of it's heritage, I downloaded the famous Nirvana font (actually called Onyx), made a stencil and put it on the back of the guitar.
My intention was to use a highlighter as a style guide and then use the soldering iron to poker it in but I decided the it looked pretty good so chose not to do the pokering. It was rough as guts but I think it came up pretty good all things considered:
After the oiling, I let the guitar have a few days to settle and then I applied the Gun Stock Sheen Finish. I had no idea if this was going to work and indeed I was a little bit scared of how it was going to turn out. Would it be too shiny? Na, it came out an awesome tone with no shine at all as the sheen was more of a conditioner than anything.
I love the non uniform look that resulted. See that writing on the inside of guitar? That's an old Shihad set list I found inside the body!
After that it was a simple matter of adding the strings, putting the tuning pegs back in, tuning up (which was a b'arch of a job to do) and seeing how it played....
Overall I'm pretty happy with the result. For a piece of shit guitar that used to hang in pieces on the wall of student flat, it's come a long way. The simple beers and whiskey drunk after were deserved! Dave, your guitar is ready for pick up!!

Why is PayPal Called PayPal?
August 17, 2015 by Annelise Schoups 6 Comments
Anyone with internet access will likely tell you that online shopping is the greatest thing since sliced bread, or at least since the invention of the internet. In most cases it's quick, convenient and less invasive than brick and mortar shops, but like anything on the internet, it also comes with some risks. In some cases, sharing unsecured credit card or bank account information can lead to hacking and fraud.
In the late 1990s, when the internet was just beginning to gain momentum, risks like these presented a big issue for newly launched ecommerce sites like the auction-based eBay. At the time, online shoppers were still required to send money through traditional transactions like checks and, shockingly enough, money order sent via U.S. mail. As it stood, the internet's online shopping boom thus lacked an equally accessible method of payment, leaving an opening for PayPal founders Max Levchin and Peter Thiel to change the ecommerce game.
Why is it called PayPal?
Levchin and Thiel, an online security specialist and hedge fund manager respectively, first met in 1998 to discuss a financial investment for a mobile money transfer startup called Field Link. When Field Link floundered among consumers, the duo decided to rename the company Confinity and launch PayPal, a service that that focused on "paying your pal" through peer to peer money transfers. The idea was that PayPal would enable the electronic transfer of money among handheld devices.
Once launched, it enabled users to open accounts linked to a bank account or credit card, reducing the risk of sharing vital banking information over the sometimes slightly unsafe World Wide Web. PayPal challenged competitive startups with its reliance on already widely accepted and established institutions, such as the U.S. dollar, email addresses and banking networks. With this advantage, it only took about a year before Confinity merged with X.com Corporation, a Silicon Valley firm involved in online banking projects led by entrepreneur Elon Musk. In October 2000, Musk decided to terminate the other internet banking operations they were developing and focus all of their attention on Paypal. Since the growing popularity of PayPal, Musk has gone on to found Tesla Motors, SpaceX and SolarCity.
Through aggressive marketing, including a $10 sign-up promotion, the company managed to gain more than 2 million accounts in less than a year's time. By August 2000, PayPal had garnered more than 2.5 million users, and was amending its services to better support business accounts, which would move higher volumes at lower transaction costs. Simultaneously, eBay payments options increasingly included PayPal for purchases, driving use of the evolving technology. It made certain sense then that shortly after raising over $61 million from their IPO in September 2001, eBay acquired PayPal for $1.5 billion in stock options.
SEE ALSO: Why is Venmo Called Venmo?
Together, the ecommerce moguls made out like bandits. Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman described the growth of both PayPal's users and volume as three-pronged: "First, PayPal focused on expanding its service among eBay users in the US. Second, we began expanding PayPal to eBay's international sites. And third, we started to build PayPal's business off eBay."
Both sites saw steady growth through their partnership until the decision to split was announced in 2014 ( the spin-off was complete in July of 2015). Since reclaiming its independence, PayPal has proven its ability to stand firmly on its own mobile devices and stands to raise its own capital and acquire companies with stock and issue bonds without the influence of eBay. However, unlike the past, PayPal is not the only way to Pay-Your-Pal online anymore. Companies like Square (Squarecash), Venmo (payments with a social twist), Snapchat (Snapcash, which is actually powered by Square) and Google Wallet, which allows gmail users to send cash directly via email) have flooded the marketplace. Even Uber has gobbled up some marketshare by giving riders the ability to split fares. What app do you use to pay your pals? Comment below.
Much like the constant evolution of the internet, PayPal itself has seen many changes in its structure. But its mission to give "people better ways to connect to their money and to each other" remains. Furthermore, its unwavering success affirms at least two things: that PayPal is quite possibly the greatest thing since online shopping, and if there's a void in innovative technology, Elon Musk will help fill it.

At least 22 killed in post-election violence in Uganda's west - police
By Elias Biryabarema
KAMPALA (Reuters) - Fighting in western Uganda between supporters of rival candidates involved in last month's national and local elections has killed 22 people and wounded 10 others in recent days, police said.

Opposition party Forum for Democratic Change accused the government of stoking violence in recent days in the area where opposition candidate Kizza Besigye had a strong showing against veteran leader Yoweri Museveni, who won the disputed Feb. 18 poll.
Police said in a statement issued late on Sunday that clashes erupted between supporters of rival candidates after local council elections in the area held on Feb. 24.
Police said 16 civilians died in clashes between the rival supporters while six more were killed when police intervened to quell the violence. A further 10 were injured, including four soldiers, and 149 houses were burned down, police said.
"We have information that criminal gangs are being incited," police said in the statement, adding that 80 people were arrested after some youths attacked members of the security forces with machetes, knives and clubs.
"We caution those misleading the youth into engaging in reckless ... attacks on the security forces and other innocent people to desist," the statement said.
Museveni, 71, in power since 1986, was declared winner of the Feb. 18 presidential election with 60 percent of the vote against Besigye's 35 percent. Parliamentary elections were held the same day, while local elections followed a few days later.
Besigye and other rival candidates rejected the presidential poll results, saying they had been rigged. Former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, another of the defeated candidates, has petitioned court to try to nullify the result.
Independent monitors from the European Union questioned the poll's integrity, citing an intimidating atmosphere and saying the electoral oversight body lacked independence and transparency.
Ingrid Turinawe, a senior official in Besigye's Forum for Democratic Change, told Reuters the violence was being orchestrated by government supporters after Besigye's strong showing in the region.
"They (Police) are just killing innocent people, people going about their business they turn around and blame the victims," she told Reuters.

MU pay raises look less likely
Janese Silvey
University of Missouri workers might not see the 3 percent pay raise next year that administrators were eyeing as recently as last month.
If Gov. Jay Nixon's proposed budget becomes reality and higher education sees a 12.5 percent cut in funding — and if the UM System's Board of Curators caps tuition increases at the consumer price index — MU would face a $12.6 million deficit. That's without factoring in raises, Budget Director Tim Rooney said.
Curators last month were reviewing a draft budget for next year that would have boosted the salary pool by 3 percent. But that was based on the assumption that state funding would be flat. Under the new scenario, adding a 3 percent pay raise would boost the deficit to $23 million on the Columbia campus.
"That would be tough," Rooney told a group of employees yesterday.
"That's an understatement," Provost Brian Foster quipped from the audience.
Rooney spent nearly two hours outlining the current and future budget with faculty and staff members at Memorial Union.
MU has a $510 million operating budget supported with state funding and tuition. That doesn't count auxiliary services, such as the health care system, athletics and the bookstore, that generate their own revenue and pay their own bills. It also doesn't take into consideration the federal grants, donations and targeted student fees that are restricted in use. Counting those operations, MU's budget is about $2 billion.
But without state support and tuition to fund basic operations, the university would not generate those outside dollars, Rooney said.
"Without faculty, we get no grants," he said. "Without colleges, you have no donations. …You have to have a School of Medicine before you have a hospital. You need a School of Journalism to have a KOMU television station."
Curators are set to discuss tuition rates at a meeting next week in Kansas City. Nikki Krawitz, the UM vice president of finance, said through a spokeswoman that administrators are still determining what they'll recommend. Any increase higher than the consumer price index, which was 3 percent last year, would require approval from the Missouri Department of Higher Education.
Through media reports, Nixon has warned colleges not to increase tuition beyond inflation this year.
Last year, he punished the UM System and other schools that raised tuition beyond 5 percent by withholding funds.
It would take an 8.5 percent increase in tuition to balance MU's budget with the proposed cut in state funding, Rooney said. That budget scenario takes into account increases in utilities, benefits and other mandatory costs, as well as tuition generated from the 885 more students expected on campus next year.
Some at yesterday's meeting questioned whether higher tuition increases would hurt enrollment. Rooney said he didn't think so. MU's tuition is below the averages in the Southeastern Conference, Big 12, Big Ten and the Association of American Universities.
"Every time we've increased tuition, we've had record enrollment," Rooney said. "That can't happen forever, but it's true."


I know Brenda reviewed this, but I'm giving you my take. I'm a slower reader but I enjoyed Brenda's review so much, I decided I better get with it.
Passion & History Shine Through in Libation.
For me, Libation, A Bitter Alchemy, by Deirdre Heekin was an intriguing read.
Her story started as a quest with her husband to discover the origins and history of Italian cuisine in its truest form. Simultaneously, Deirdre uncovered her own passion for understanding the development of the craft and art of wine making as well as of other liqueurs, liquor and cocktails.
Through Deirdre's colorful memories, experiences, tales and experiments, this book represents a wonderful history lesson for those interested in the evolution of spirits. Her love of its origins, stories, culture and perseverance transforms you to the time and place as each evolves.
Deirdre's obvious love of and passion for the soil and various environmental factors, along with individuals and cultures is transferred when possible to her home in Vermont. What is not practical for Vermont soil and conditions is brought home in memories.
She and her husband, Caleb Barber, always exhibit a passion for discovering the history, traditions and customs behind various food and libations. This combination results in a rewarding story filled with love.
As someone who appreciates and enjoys the history of food, Libation is intoxicating as a journey into wine and spirits. I personally always go by my own palate, which is less developed as much with liquor or liqueur than with food or wine. However, I'm always willing to taste. Since reading Libation, I'll taste and appreciate more the story behind the drink.

This study is looking at giving 2 types of biological therapy and 1 type of chemotherapy to people over the age of 60 who have breast cancer. It is for people whose breast cancer has spread beyond their breast (called advanced or stage 4 breast cancer). The cancer must be HER 2 positive.
Doctors know from research which drugs are best to treat younger people who have breast cancer. But there is no good evidence on the best treatment for older people. Decisions about treatment and which drugs to use is often based on the opinion of the cancer specialist.
Herceptin and pertuzumab are both biological therapy drugs called monoclonal antbodies. They both target HER 2 but work in slightly different ways and so are often given together as a treatment for HER 2 positive breast cancers. Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy drug. Metronomic cyclophosphamide is a milder version of the drug which you take as a tablet.
If your cancer gets worse while you are having either of the treatments, the doctors will offer you another treatment. This is a new drug called trastuzumab-DM1 which also targets the HER 2 cells.
If you are a man and there is a possibility that your partner could become pregnant you must be willing to use contraception during the study and for up to 6 months afterwards.
You have Herceptin and pertuzumab through a drip into a vein once every 3 weeks. Each 3 week period is called a cycle of treatment. If you are in the group having cyclophosphamide you have this once a day.
You have treatment until your breast cancer starts to grow again or you cannot manage the side effects. If this happens the doctors will offer you a new drug called trastuzumab-DM1. You have this drug as a drip into the vein once every 3 weeks. You have it for as long as it is keeping the breast cancer under control, you can manage any side effects and both you and your doctors think it is the right treatment for you.
As part of the study the doctors will ask if you will be willing to give 4 extra blood samples. They will use these samples to learn more about breast cancer and other diseases. They will also look for biomarkers . Doctors hope that in the future these might help them know who will benefit best from treatment.
You do not have to give these extra blood samples if you don't want to, you can still take part in the study.
You go to hospital once every 3 weeks for your treatment. After you have the drugs you need to stay in the hospital for up to 1 hour to check for any side effects. Then you can go home.
You have a heart scan and a CT or MRI scan every 9 weeks while you are having treatment.
If you go on to have trastuzumab-DM1 you have a heart scan and either a CT or MRI scan. You have treatment every 3 weeks. After you have the drug you need to stay in the hospital for up to 30 minutes to check for any side effects, then you can go home.
After you have finished treatment on the study you see the doctors 1 month later. The doctors will ask how you are and you may have a heart trace or heart scan. The study team then contact you every 3 months to see how you are.

In March, Accell Group launched a new strategy with a clear focus on consumers. This strategy includes an omni-channel distribution model, in cooperation with the specialist retail trade. With Ton Anbeek as the new CEO, Accell Group will continue to shape this strategy, refining and translating it into a concrete strategic roadmap for 2018-2022.
Ton Anbeek joined Accell as CEO and chairman of the Board of Directors in November 2017. He succeeded René Takens, who headed the company for 18 years.
We received 13 international innovation and design awards for our bicycle models in the course of the year, including a Red Dot Award for the Koga E-Xite N8.
Following the elimination of the multi-sports channel, we continued to adapt and streamline the North American organisation. We also refined and boosted the transition towards a completely omni-channel model, which with fixed and mobile bike shops (Beeline) is an excellent fit with the needs and wishes of US consumers.
Following in the footsteps of our North American organisation, Accell opened its first Raleigh webshop in the United Kingdom, and we are working with the specialist retail trade on a click & collect basis.
Our branded bicycles now include an increasing number of parts produced by XLC, our own private label for bicycle parts and accessories. A growing number of retailers and webshops now offer consumers a high-quality and competitive alternative in the form of XLC.
In June, we opened the Lapierre Experience Center in Dijon (France). This is the second Accell-run Experience Center following the launch of De Fietser in Ede (the Netherlands). The Experience Center offers bicycle enthusiasts the opportunity to get to know the brand and try out, test and buy racing bikes, (e-)MTBs and e-bikes from the Lapierre collection.
The introduction of the Sparta M8i and the Haibike eConnect in 2017 was the first addition of connected bicycle models to our collections.
In celebration of the 35th birthday of the Team Aero Pro Burner, Raleigh created a replica of this much-loved BMX bike. The limited edition series of 350 bikes sold out online within an hour.
The demand for e-MTBs continues to grow and is expanding into new markets. Haibike, the undisputed market leader in the segment, benefited strongly from this development in 2017.
In 2017, we donated more than 1,000 Buffalo bicycles to World Bike Relief, a project that gives children in countries such as Zambia the chance to ride a bike to school. In total, we made more than EUR 1 million available in 2017 for initiatives that contribute to making mobility more sustainable, as well as to improving health and safety and the promotion of bicycle use worldwide.
As part of our sustainability strategy, we conducted energy audits at four of our larger production hubs and distribution centres. We used the outcome to identify potential improvements and to further reduce our energy consumption.
In 2017, the supply chain team went fully operational. In that context, we also launched an operation to optimise the supply chain in order to increase reliability in deliveries and reduce inventories. Inventories have declined while the value of bikes has increased.
We took a new water purification installation into use at our production plant in Turkey. As a result, water used in the paint process is cleaned before it is returned to the environment.
The Sparta R5TE was voted the best e-bike of the year at the 2018 Fiets Awards (Dutch Bike Awards). The R5TE has already won an award for good industrial design.

fyi GT5 and GT4 are both very enjoyable so if it was up to me I wouldn't skip them

Had a bit of a revelation with the Clio's today. Found that if I really chuck them towards the apex aggressively the natural under steer sorts the car out on the exit. Much faster than going in smooth.
This might be common knowledge for front engined FWD but it was new to me.
Betta Lines
Sickbean said:
I don't really agree - I think FWD benefits from being smooth just as much as RWD. The front drive means you can more easily recover from losing the rear, so it is tempting to start throwing the car into corners with more and more aggression, but that doesn't mean you'll be faster than the guy being smooth.
Of course if you can't seem to find speed by being smooth and you're doing much better chucking it in, then don't let me put you off - do whatever works for you!

I have started skipping some Cups but only because I want to get on with my actual career. In the beginning I was doing everything that was thrown at me but then I was getting a taste for these faster cars then having to go back to the Karts for that season. I've noticed the races are substantially longer this time around. My first Round had Practice 1 & 2, then Qualifying 1 & 2 followed by a 12 lapper and then a 19 lap race at Laguna Seca, my most hated track too I might add. Not because I am crap at it but because I find it very boring.
Also, this McLaren car in the GT3 is very easy to drive wirth all the assists off, very weird. I don't have to feather the throttle as much exiting the corners. Yes, all my assists are set to off.
Betta Lines said:
This could just be down to a difference in what constitutes 'aggressive'.
Smooth for me just seemed to result in either being too slow, or understeering mid-corner.
To all those with Logitech wheels and PS4s, wondering about support in pCARS, Ian Bell (Head of Studio at SMS) posted this on the forums last night:
Be calm and wait for some good news here.
(I'd post a link but nope. They fail).
Make of that what you will, but there have been rumours about ongoing negotiations between Logitech and SMS for several weeks now...

Is the G27 as good a wheel as a 300RS?
Megasoum
The Thrustmaster wheels are better overall I would say. The G27 pedals are better than the stock TM pedals tho.
danowat
got a G25 up in the loft............
GT5 and 4 are actually parts of the "main" career, not additional events offered every year. I skip plenty of those like the karts invitationals or the UK classics (both the Merc and Ford handle BAD).
danowat said:
G25? You need the new G29...
http://www.playseatstore.com/logitech-g29.html
I'm guessing the thousand Euro price tag is a placeholder...
Logitech G29 racing wheel
The rumored new Logitech G racing wheel for all the true fans of racing: Logitech G29!
Experience racing games the way they were meant to be with the newest Logitech racing wheel. Revel in the white-knuckle, hair-raising turns as you feel the tires lose traction and gleefully fly over every bump in the road. Custom dual-motor force feedback accurately simulates realistic racing action that will leave you breathless well past the checkered flag. Thanks to smooth and quiet helical gears – similar to ones used in car transmissions – you can enjoy the power of force feedback without the road noise.
Most important features Logitech G29:
Compatible with PC, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4
Powerful force feedback
Easy accessible D-pad and buttons on the wheel
Logitech G29 24 postion real time adjustment dialLet your instincts guide you through the six-speed steel paddle shifters, finding just the right gears for hairpin turns or pedal to the metal straightaways. Winning comes down to fractions of a second, and knowing when to shift gears is critical for maintaining maximum speed. But since you also need to keep your eyes on the road, the indicator panel is designed to be easy to read at a glance.
Super realistic feelTake a grip and enjoy the sensation and comfort of a real leather racing wheel gliding beneath your hands as you speed around the track. Don't worry about the stress placed on the wheel; it's designed to take it. From solid steel ball bearings in the wheel shaft to quality construction throughout, G29 will provide superb performance and long-term reliability for every race.
The Logitech G29 racing wheel will probably be compatible with PC, PS3 and PS4. For the ultimate racing experience, you should combine the Logitech G29 with a Playseat® racing simulator! Enjoy!
But my G25 is my kinda price...........FREE!!!
SmokyDave
....I should have seen this coming really.
As long as they don't kneecap support for the G27, I'm not too bitter. The '29 looks like a cross between the DFGT and the G25.
Dilly
There's no way that G29 is real, as far as I know Logitech closed down its wheel department.

Where's the manual gear stick?

Don't sweat it, Dave. Your G27 is a fine, fine wheel.
Apart from the sloppy-ass shifter, which sucks greasy goat balls.

So I've been considering picking this game up for Xbox One. I understand that it's excellent in terms of being a very good simulation. However, I'm going to be playing with a controller and plan on playing fairly casually in that it'll be something that I just pick up and do a few races here and there. I used to play Forza 4 the same way (assists off) and it was good for doing that thanks to having a decent single player, lots of customization, nicely polished overall, etc. I know Forza 4 doesn't have the most realistic physics out there, but with all the assists off it was a good compromise for me.
Can I expect the same thing out of Project CARS, or is it really only worthwhile for the more hardcore people with a proper wheel setup who are concerned with the physics model above all else?

I'm thinking of buying one soon and no other options for around $240.
dwells said:
Tough question I reckon.
If you aren't too worried about spending hours tweaking your settings, and the possibility of changing those settings to suit different cars, then fill ya boots and go for it.
When it works good, it's sublime, but there is a lot of frustration in getting it good in the first place.
Oh... Interesting... So basically they mashed a DFGT with a G27 and added PS4 support?
Too bad they're still using gears instead of belts tho.

Megasoum said:
Yeah I would have thought they would have moved to a belt driven system.
Hmm, thanks for the honest feedback. Might be a bit more than I feel like dealing with at the moment. Perhaps I'll wait until when (if) I ever get around to actually building a racing cockpit out of all the PVC and the BMW E30 seat I've had sitting around for literally half a decade now...
I got to play this for a bit, and tried the Stock Car at Oschersleben.
X360 controller on PC, couldn't get better times than ~1:47.
I'm timid in corners because I can't catch the oversteer in time without having a steering wheel, and I'm really shitty at recovering from the oversteer with the controller because I tend to overcorrect. But man, I can't be the only one who's having that problem, right?
I've played around a bit with the controller settings, but they don't seem to change a lot for me either way.
I hate to put anyone off, it's the best racing game on console at the moment, so it does deserve to be played, but it's not without it's problems.
Try and get a play on a demo machine in a shop or a friends machine if you can.
Gynoug79 said:

Yeah, it smells like vapourware. No idea why Playseat still have it up on their website though.

That G29 thing is a fake, sorry. Just the DFGT wheel with some different pedals.
PrintedCrayon
Any recommendations on Race Wheels pCARS GAF? I've been looking into getting a T300 for my PS4 for a while now, but am not sure whether my money would be better spent on just getting something a lot cheaper?
I've been enjoying the game with a controller thus far, but just crave something a touch more "real".
It is certainly pricey though, as I may also look at adding a manual gear box to further spice up the experience. Something such as this. Which also means adding new pedals too...
If anyone could give some advice that would be great.
I should probably add, I'm not usually taken by Sim racers, but having spent a lot of time with Forza and DRIVECLUB, I've been eyeing more simulation type experiences. pCARS seems to fit the bill perfectly for me as I have been having a blast so far!
I like the sloppy-ass shifter!
....kinda. Must admit a much stronger spring would be a big improvement.
Jibbed said:
They're G25 / G27 pedals. Can't believe I didn't notice the wheel was a DFGT, the centre spoke looked different on my monitor (I was seeing it as negative space).
Patrick S. said:
I have exactly the same problem
There is no way I am buying another wheel. I spent top dollar on my G27 in 2010 and part of the reason I bought a PS4 was because of Sony's support for Logitech over the last few consoles. I was really surprised when they change songs and started going on about Thrustmaster. In the past I affiliated Thrustmaster with shit build quality.
Hearing there is a possibility that SMS and Logitech could come to some sort of agreement is music to my ears.

I don't really agree - I think FWD benefits from being smooth just as much as RWD.
I'm not too good of a driver/racing-sim-player so I often end up doing the "unsmooth" thing. But what really helped me understand the importance of being smooth is the "Guest in a reasonable priced car" Top Gear challenge in Forza Motorsport 5. It's basically "drive the Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Techline around the top gear test track (line start)". The thing has FWD and - for a racing game - is very underpowered(115HP) for its modern suspension and tires. In that car, laps in which you followed the ideal line pretty much perfectly and handled the car without the slightest problems, can be worlds apart looking at the lap times. Only if you feel the traction and torque vectors on your car flowing from one direction into the other, you're really fast and it'll show in the lap time.
I really think you feel it best in underpowered cars.
In 80's Group B rallying the drivers had the power to gloss over unsmooth driving. When Group B was banned, going on instinct and reacting within milliseconds was not the major factor that made a good driver and smoothness in driving (minimizing the waste of power and momentum) became more important again.

None of the people with good times "caught" the car, they are more careful on the throttle and rarely use a power-oversteer technique on that track. Be smooth (throttle and steering), keep momentum by maximizing the corner radius. Btw., the best time was from someone using a controller.

Everything in moderation, of course, but weight distribution matters.

I ran a 1:32.xxx last night in the Time Trial challenge. I kept learning the hard way that I can't over drive that car but I kept doing it anyways. I really don't see how I could ever get under a 1:30 though.
Didn't get a pic or vid but my name is on the leader boards (DaveS78).
AMD drivers coming today...
AMD has announced to release a new version of their Catalyst graphics card driver that will address performance issues with Slightly Mad Studios' Project CARS title.
While nVidia users have been able to enjoy Project CARS from the start, AMD owners suffered from lower graphics performance due to driver-related issues. These problems are expected to be fixed by the new driver release that is scheduled for tomorrow.
In related news, Project CARS keeps on its strong showing on the sales floor as the WMD-powered simulator has topped the UK sales charts for the second week in a row, becoming the first Bandai Namco Games-distributed title to do so in 16 years!
Project CARS is now available on Steam, boxed copies are available here.

On another note...I'm finally getting the hang of the road cars. Before I couldn't even turn without doing doughnuts, now I'm managing to get around corners without problems.

Awesome, never knew Forza had Star in a Reasonably priced car. Like you say, it's crazy how slow the fastest laps look, because there's no drama.

Make sure it's in properly, you shouldn't here any clicking.
Yeah it's definitely in right. I've checked and even redone it. I've solved the problem anyway. I've just placed a tiny bit of card at the back that's been tucked down out of site. It's totally silent now.
This game just got more awesome with a proper resistance brake.

Finally got stuck into the career mode after putting it off due to the complaints about lack of progression, no unlocks, no winning cash/xp, same car for entire season, etc.. (+ finally got the controls on DS4 into the "just right" place). But i cant believe how addictive it is without any of that other stuff, its really no worse off without it. just distractions from the driving anyway. Going from struggling with a car to learning it inside out throughout a season is just as rewarding. Fuck them karts thou, need a wheel for that twitchiness.

well its a proper career mode...unlike what GT and Forza offer...the XP/unlock system doesnt really matter since youre a member of a team...
at the risk of some rambling here...in pCARS2, i would love to see some added things though...
- "Manager" mode: would be a cool addition...this is where you could start to bring money into the equation...earn money through races, sign on with sponsors, hire/fire drivers/engineers/crews/etc...sign deals with manufacturers to buy their cars to use...pick and choose which series you want to compete in (multiple series? invitational events, etc...)...number of cars on your team, etc...work your way up...stay as a "big time" privateer, or maybe get hired to run a factory team (or maybe chosen by a manufacturer to BE their factory team)...obviously, like in a manager mode from FIFA or Madden, you could control the actual racing, or simulate the racing and focus solely on your duties as a boss...
you could leave the option open to include a "create a driver" feature, making it kind of a dual mode so you could hire your created drivers and rise through the ranks together......or even a driver/owner option like the player/coach option in FIFA
obviously this would require some sort of "money" system...and XP could be used for things, but i think handling that in the background is better...
- "Be a Pro/Road to the Show" mode: similar to the current setup...create your driver, sign contracts, move around how you wish...money/XP is much less important here as if you win you'll get contract offers and you choose where you want to race...
Be smooth (throttle and steering), keep momentum by maximizing the corner radius.
I know, and in theory it sounds easy. I've owned and driven fast cars with RWD, FWD, 4x4, and MR configuration. The only car of those I once nearly crashed in a turn was the MR2, because that beast had zero error tolerance and I wasn't used to it. Other than that, I think I'm a good driver, and should be able to apply that to racing games, but I don't know why, I just can't make a good lap times with that stupid Stock Car. I'm down to 1:44 now, will give it a few more laps after this post.

I'm thinking about picking this up tonight, when I get off. No wheel, here. just the stick. Also one of my best buds picked it up, so I'll be trying to get into lots of online racing with him. I have played Shift 2, a lot, when it was free on ps+, and really enjoyed it. Also this was in my top 10 in Gaf's most anticipated of 2015 thread.
I know it sounds like I've convinced myself already, but my friend also gave some impressions, and seemed... not enthusiastic. So, worth it?
I think it's also a question of "style".
Is it...
a no-bullshit sim-uh-lah-tohr career (Euro Truck Simulator says Hi... lots of drop-down menus, that help you managing your own racing team),
a "yo, bro, u a racah now! Party it with some Doughnuts, then get famous or die trying"-career (greetings from GRID Autosport, but also from DiRT 3's Gymkhana),
or is it a "tell your own story"-career (à la 2K15 MyCareer, also documenting your changing lifestyle and having moral decisions, friends and rivals to make, interviews to give etc.)?
The first is the only one that even the most hardcore sim-racing guys would welcome as an option, the second is pretty much the worst-case-scenario in terms of style and the third could be fantastic but it could also be complete shit.
A 70% sim and 30% career-story would be a wise decision in my opinion.

Maybe tell us what parts of Shift 2 you liked the most, what cars you like and what you think of games like Forza or Gran Turismo (or even sim'ier stuff, if you have experience with that) in comparison with Shift 2? I don't want an elaborate essay, just some more intel.

I had some reservations with this game after seeing the car list a week or two ago and decided to hold off despite loving a good racing game.
A couple of mates bought it and seemed reasonably happy with it, but acknowledged that it was lacking in some areas. So on the weekend a friend brings the game around, adjusts the handling settings for controllers and we play for a couple of hours.
The game is great in terms of car porn, and I have not even scratched the surface when it comes to the tracks, handling and cars - however one thing that I did notice is that the sense of speed is very poor - Has anyone else noticed that?
I drove along a few tracks in the BMW Z4 (sounds incredible) at 100 and 200kmh and it felt very slow. I switched back to Driveclub as a comparison and was Amazed at how much quicker it felt - though the framerate was difficult to adjust to.
I'm keeping an eye on the price of the game, as I think I'll enjoy it but don't want to go full price on it.
It doesn't. I think you're confusing the practice session with qualifying. So long as you cross the start/finish line with the clock still running you can complete your current lap.
It was qualifying, if you've already got pole it'll cut off when time ends. I didn't notice it before.
I think 1 and 3 could co-exist as separate modes if they put the time into the game...
Option #1 with just a tiny bit of "story" (like your 70/30 split, maybe even less story) would be the game I personally would want...but just like NBA2k or MLB..the myplayer/RTTS (story), and franchise (simulator) modes are both present...and very fleshed out...
Personally if I had to choose one from your options I'd take #1 all day every day...

I gave the stock car time trial a shot. I'm not happy with the car setup, but I'm not gonna mess with it anymore. Wheel/real assists/manual with sequential (not sure what assists are used, if any, with this car)
(Gamer Tag is Manic DBB)
I gave it another go. The 1:29's were too close for me to not go for it. XB1/Wheel/Clutch/No Assists/at least 2 cones killed
The first Grid had a straight forward career without 'tude or other annoying shit. You signed with a team as a driver to earn money and could stop there. You could also establish a team and earn sponsorships based on performance. This allows you to buy more cars for more events and afford better drivers.
It's a simple layer of depth in a mode that would increase immersion in what's already a solid racing game.

I also had reservations with the car roster, but preordered to get 8 extra cars. The car list really isnt an issue for me since I'm doing career. You climb the leagues and have a bunch of invitational events to do as well taking place in a variety of other cars. Havent even seen half the roster or tracks yet.


This is a guest post by our research aide, Giulia Pasciuto, who has been leading a research project I am collaborating on with the Seattle Women's Commission to better understand the barriers and solutions to healthy food access for women in Seattle.
Food Access is a significant problem for low-income women in Seattle. In 2011, a community member from Delridge approached a Commissioner with the Seattle Women's Commission (SWC) and shared her personal struggle with accessing healthy food in her neighborhood. Namely, she was grappling to find a way to bring a month's worth of Women Infant and Children (WIC) benefits – several heavy bags of groceries with a month's worth of dairy, formula, and other healthy food— home on public transportation with her children in tow. After this moving testimony, the SWC undertook this research project and reached out to Seattle City Councilmember Mike O'Brien and the Seattle Office of Sustainability and Environment.
Women throughout this city, but especially in Delridge and many neighborhoods in the South part of Seattle, face geographic, transportation, cultural, and cost barriers to finding healthy food for themselves and their families. Delridge is a neighborhood defined by a vibrant and diverse community of families and youth, great assets like the Community College, park and open space, and cultural resources, but unfortunately does not have any grocery stores along the 4-mile corridor, transit service is limited, and the neighborhood itself is framed on the East and West by two tall ridges making it hard to walk or bike to and from the neighborhood. Inaccessibility of healthy food has led to the proliferation of health disparities in Seattle neighborhoods: increased instances of youth and adult obesity, diabetes, and heart disease occur in neighborhoods with limited access to healthy food. This is not news for Seattle policymakers and advocacy organizations; countless studies and myriad programs have been implemented throughout Seattle neighborhoods. The Seattle City Council has adopted the Food Action Plan, which outlines strategies to improve existing policies, programs and recommendations for the council to explore new approaches to address food access in Seattle. However, as community members have stated – these policies aren't 'trickling down'… YET. New geographic-specific research on barriers to food access for low-income women will be beneficial to informing how we craft or implement new policies for the Delridge neighborhood, with the potential of impacting neighborhoods around the city.
In conducting new research we wanted to ensure that we were leveraging existing research and not duplicating past efforts. A large grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation funded the King County Food and Fitness Initiative, which brought together community and city partners in the Delridge/White Center neighborhood to address the impacts of living in a geographically isolated "food desert" with limited walkability. Once funding unexpectedly ran out, the public and city focus on the neighborhood faded and the community capacity to continue the work slowed. This research along with studies by the Seattle Office of Sustainability and Environment and environmental justice organization Got Green have shown that physical access (i.e. location of stores, transportation options, and geographic barriers) and cost (i.e. cost of healthy food compared to unhealthy, processed food, cost of the corner store compared to that of a grocery store, cost of organic and local options) represent the two most significant barriers to healthy food access. With this in mind and the existing food access groundwork and community capacity in Delridge, we decided that we could delve deeper into both physical access and cost barriers with residents while prioritizing and developing a policy framework that addresses their needs directly.
Our project goals are as follows: refine a specific, actionable 2014-2015 food access work plan for the Seattle Women's Commission, CM Mike O'Brien, and the Food Action Plan Inter Departmental Team (representative from the Department of Planning and Development, Human Services Department, and other city agencies) based on the expertise of impacted low-income women in Delridge. Use the experiences of low-income women and the barriers they face to prioritize and delve deeper into food policies and interventions in Delridge.
So Far: We have carried out two community workshops, beginning with the Food Empowerment and Education Sustainability Team (FEEST) made up of Chief Sealth High School students. As they describe their work, "FEEST is an after school program at Chief Sealth High School and Evergreen High School. We do improvisational cooking in the kitchen where we prepare a delicious and healthy meal. Then we eat together family-style while learning more about food and its impact on ourselves and our communities." Volunteers from CM O'Brien's staff and the Seattle Women's Commission prepared a healthful meal from mainly local produce, which allowed students to participate in the workshop and then share the meal together. The top priority for these students was increasing economic opportunities for themselves and their families. They felt that having better jobs and more affordable prices at the store and famers market would increase access to healthy food in Delridge. A FEEST member blogged about her experience in the workshop, which we will cross-post here shortly.
Our second workshop was co-hosted by Delridge Neighborhood Development Association, a community developer of affordable housing and runs the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center in Delridge, and was attended primarily by groups working to address food access in the neighborhood through community gardening and cooking education (The Little Red Hen Project) and folks working to launch the Delridge Produce Co-op set to open in August on the ground floor of a new supportive housing development owned and operated by the Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC). The top priority for this group was to make it easier to sell locally grown produce directly to Delridge residents and to open a farmers market at the STEM School.
We have at least one more workshops in the pipeline; please look for updates on the project later this month.

Fuel Cycle to Nowhere
U.S. Law and Policy on Nuclear Waste
by Richard Burleson Stewart and Jane Bloom Stewart
For twenty-five years, the Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada was designated as the sole destination for disposal of the nation's accumulated stockpiles of highly radioactive nuclear power and weapons wastes. Now the Obama administration has abandoned Yucca, and Congress must pass new laws to solve the resulting disposal crisis. Even as the federal government seeks to expand nuclear power, local communities and states are demanding a credible program for disposal of the wastes that we already have. The Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future, appointed by the Obama administration to develop a plan, is currently conducting hearings.
The first comprehensive history and overview of U.S. nuclear waste law and regulation, Fuel Cycle to Nowhere traces sixty years of nuclear weapons programs, the growth of nuclear power, and their waste legacies, the rise of environmentalism, and the responses of federal agencies. Richard and Jane Stewart expertly analyze the changing policies for storing low-level waste, transuranic waste, spent nuclear fuel, and high-level waste and for regulating their transport by rail and by truck. They also chronicle "a tale of two repositories"--one, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico, known as WIPP, the world's only operating deep geologic nuclear waste disposal facility, which emerged from a contentious but ultimately successful struggle between federal and state interests; the other, Yucca Mountain, mandated top down by Congress and a failure.
Fuel Cycle to Nowhere provides the critical information and analysis on the waste disposal issues and solutions that the commission, Congress, the administration, journalists, policymakers, and the public so urgently need.
