It is, however, also the genesis of the verbose title of this blog. Unfortunately, food is not the subject, nor is this (supposed to be) an outlet for angry, cynical diatribes directed toward any number of things that I might find depressing, embarrassing, excruciating, or all of the above in this Austin music scene that we all know and love.
Several incarnations followed, and the axiom was eventually whittled down to Shut up; Im listening. But the simpler the better, right? And sometimes Ill admit it I get tired of listening and just want everyone and every machine to be quiet for one minute, just to reflect on whatever might have aurally (or mentally) transpired, be it sound, scream, whisper, or riff. Dont take it the wrong way. Shut Up is not meant in malice. Its intention is not to instigate or shred.
GM's next generation Chevrolet Impala will remain FWD-based
When ever you want the biggest change, you don't go after the smallest items. The end result.......the top25 offenders probably won't be sports cars. They'll be Trucks and SUV's.The end of the big V8 dead? So far from the truth. There are advantages to forced induction (turbocharing and supercharging) but issues as well. There is an old addage, "there's no replacement for displacement". So true. NA engines will deliver signifigantly more torque than their equal powered turbo'd counterparts. Torque is what gives acceleration response, which consumers have become accustomed to.Now for those horrible American engines:For example:2008 Mitsu Evo X:2.0L 4cyl Turbo 320hp16city/22highway2008 Corvette6.2L 8cyl 436hp18city/28highwayAnd now for that same engine in a much heavier car:2008 Cadallac CTS-V6.2L 8cyl 430hp17city/25highway (2007 models were 15/24)Which would you rather have? Less power in a small turbo engine, with poorer fuel economy, or more power in a more fuel efficient engine.
Official Version of Naval Incident Starts to Unravel
Israelis and their allies in the US administration do not tolerate obstacles - including patriotic US Naval officials who expose their hoaxes. There are a few clear heads remaining in the upper eschelons of the US Armed Forces which have managed to escape the earlier purges of the Rumsfeld-OSP-Wolfowitz-Feith cabal. Admiral Fallon and other like-minded American officers should have their drivers check their cars before starting the engines - the mafia that took us to war in Iraq and is pushing for war with Iran can get very rough. It is disgusting to have this played out again and again and again. They will never be satisfied until they have destroyed all independent nations in the Middle East using American manpower and treasure - and destroying the US economy and Bill of Rights in the process.
Healing Value Of Magnets Demonstrated In Biomedical Engineering Study
ScienceDaily (Jan. 7, 2008) A recent study demonstrates that the use of an acute, localized static magnetic field of moderate strength can result in significant reduction of swelling when applied immediately after an inflammatory injury. Magnets have been touted for their healing properties since ancient Greece. Magnetic therapy is still widely used today as an alternative method for treating a number of conditions, from arthritis to depression, but there hasn’t been scientific proof that magnets can heal. .

Low Back Disorders Chapter Released
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) has released an extensive update to its evidence-based practice guidelines. The chapter on low back disorders is the latest revision to ACOEM's Occupational Medicine Practice Guidelines: Evaluation and Management of Common Health Problems and Functional Recovery in Workers, 2nd Ed., currently in wide-spread use across the country. Subscribers to UMK Professional (Utilization Management Knowledgebase), or the ACOEM Guidelines Electronic Version, have immediate access to the low back chapter free of charge. A crucial part of the updating process was ACOEM's adoption of a new more meticulous strength-of-evidence rating methodology which incorporates the highest scientific standards for reviewing evidence-based literature.
Player-reporter relationship uneasy at best
The relationship between hockey player and media member is often fraught, no matter how hard both sides work. The reasons are fairly obvious. The athlete knows he's going to be asked questions he may not want to hear or answer for fear of landing in trouble, even if the original topic seems benign. The reporter is looking to pry information from the athlete -- either a good quote on tape, or insight into what's going on inside the room. .
