I forget the details but it is on the page. Some mutations which identify family groups did not originate in Africa, so cannot be traced there. It looks like all humans came from Africa, but all haplogroups did not. My group started where everyone elses did, but all the mutations show the family staying there and around the Mediterranian. Today, our group is only 20% of Italians, but is more than 75% of North Africans, and there are earlier mutations still found in Ethiopia as well. 50% of all Chinese men came from one guy, and their group does not link (yet) to Africans as many others do not. As more and more people participate, the roadmap and history of the families gets clearer. It's really interesting. You should join in. DC Bill L <bill@billlorentzen.com> wrote: >That's fascinating.

What's amazing is the complete revision genetics gives to the meaning of race. Because there are 5% M35 (my haplogroup) in the british isles from the Roman occupation, it is quite possible for a bigot of say, Irish descent, to have more in common genetically with the object of his hate than he has with those he thinks are his brothers...

And the last opium is harvested. Has anyone else noticed that since Korea we never seem to get involved in a war unless they produce lots of drugs there? Hmmm.

Diane Sawyer on ABC news interviewed the Venezuelan leader Chavez just last week -- March 2007 He is so dangerous, and you can tell he is thrilled to be selling oil toAmerica and having a foot on the throat of this country. He is something else. If you did not hear the interview, the following was discussed and it is true.

He told Diane Sawyer that he was friends with all the world leaders, but President Bush is as dumb as a 'donkey'. CITGO CHANGING NAME...this is serious Americans...make sure you read ... NEWS FLASH: Chavez is NOW getting a Russian Weapons Factory built by Putin. The RUSSIANS are building an AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory in Venezuela, to give armament support to Communist Rebel groups throughout the Americas. Chavez NOW has IRANIANS operating his oil refineries in Venezuela for him. It is likely only a matter of time, if not already, before Chavez has Iranian built LONG RANGE missiles, with a variety of warhead types aimed at: Guess Who? CITGO is NOW in the process of Changing Its Name to PETRO EXPRESS due to the loss of gasoline sales in the USA due to the recent publicity of ownership by Chavez of Venezuela. Every dollar you spend with CITGO or PETRO EXPRESS gasoline will be used against you, your basic human rights, and your freedoms. He will start wars here in the Americas that will probably be the death of millions of free people. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT because Chavez is starting to feel the loss of revenue from his holdings. HE OWNS CITGO. This is a very important move that everyone should be aware of. ANNOUNCED JUST RECENTLY, CITGO, BEING AWARE THAT SALES ARE DOWN DUE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS NOT WANTING TO BUY FROM "CITGO-CHAVEZ", HAVE STARTED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF SOME OF THEIR STORES TO: "PETRO EXPRESS" DO NOT BUY FROM "PETRO EXPRESS" EITHER!!! "PETRO EXPRESS" IS ALSO 100% OWNED BY "CHAVEZ." KEEP THIS MEMO GOING SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING. BOYCOTT "CITGO" AND "PETRO EXPRESS".............MAKE SURE THIS IS PASSED ON TO EVERYONE in YOUR E-MAIL LIST IN THE UNITED STATES AND OUTSIDE OF AMERICA.Hugo Chavez is a hero. A man willing to sand up for his counry and not let a another country (USA) tell him how to run thier commodity. This is nothing more than tipical US spin machine out to sway puplic opinion about those leaders that don't drink the US Kool-Aid.. They (Venezuelans) don't need our aid. They have their own precious commodity. Wake up people, are we to believe every word coming from our Goverment?? Thanks God for Citgo..

About a month after getting the car I got gas at a Citgo station. with in minutes of pulling out, the engine ceased up. Towed it in to a dealer and found out I had bad gas. I had the state of Michigan come out and test the gas. 71% was water, about 8% was solid garbage, and the rest was gas. It took out all of the fuel injectors and the fuel pump. It did about $1700.00 in damage. Citgo refused to take any responsibility for their product, and refused to pay for the damage. They immediately told me that they were not responsible for their product after it left their refinery. Apparently that was their standard response for anybody that called them about bad gas. It took about 6 months to get it straitened out. The state of Michigan gave them a choice, pay for the damages or pay a $25,000.00 fine. The arab gas station owner had to pay for the damage. My neighbor later told me that when that gas station would start running out of gas he would see them put the garden hose down in to their tanks. So I guess the owner deserved what he got. There were also many reports on the news of people getting bad gas from Citgo stations all over town. Needless to say, I never buy gas at Citgo. What a PITA! If you want to buy your gas from them that's up to you. When possible I will avoid buying Communist made products. And yes I am aware of where some of my favorite products are made. I don't like it.

We are recording the Vox over those Nylon guitars this morning and I noticed something last night while settings up and doing an equipment check....There is very noticable phasing on the mic thru the monitoring headphones. I got a 3ms latency. I thought man...am I hearing that? So I bumped the buffers down as far as they can go..to 1ms..I could still hear it just the same. So that cant be it. I set my buffers back to 3ms. I noticed some popping too which turned out to be my presonus wasnt clock locked to my motu. After I clock locked it no more pops. Which brings me to another part of the quest... Initially I was running the mic thru the Presonus--ADAT out---Motu I thought maybe the Presonus is doing this....so I plugged directly to the Motu and same thing. I tried using the Motu as the master clock and the presonus as the master clock. No change. I twiddled with every setting I could find in Cubase that looked related and no change. I tried different microphones. No change. It sounds like there are two identical signals being sent to the main outs/headphones. I thought hmmm maybe the Direct monitoring was some how enabled... But it was disabled and I opened Cue Mix and disabled the main outs just in case and closed it again. No change. I am sarting to think the Motu is defective. I tried opening a new project and adding an audio track so I was sure there was no processing...No Change. It is very noticable on the headphones. Not as noticable during playback, but I swear I can hear artifacts of it on recorded vocal material. Does anyone have a clue what this might be? BI heard that.

He also uses this method to power his car. A car that works on water. It seems really legit. I don't have a link, since it was sent to me. It was shown on Fox News. I went to Fox news to try to find a link, but couldn't find it. This guy supposedly is in negotiations with one major car manufacturer, and said he has been to a meeting with congress. Now, if this is true, couldn't something like this sort of change the world?? I would love to show this video so you guys can see it but I am not sure if I can post a 3mb video here. Is there a way?? If anyone is interested, I could email it to you. LouWhat's his last name? :) No, but seriously . . . I don't care what you think of Bill Maher (no, really I don't), I think he's great. More importantly, I wanted to say that if you didn't see his friday show with PJ O'Rourke and Ben Affleck, you should scour your HBO schedule for the repeats just to catch special guest Ron Paul. It's so inspiring to hear a politician who has the guts and self-respect to just say what IS, undiluted, and not decorated with the cornball, disingenuous, push-button slogans the other "republican" contenders spew. No surprise he's been barred from some of the "debates" . . . you can't have someone being direct and honest in the middle of a bullshit contest. Spoiler. Bill obviously likes this guy, but I think even he was a bit shocked by the amount of howling applause Ron Paul got from this notoriously liberal audience. There's something seriously wrong when a guy like this has little chance of making it to the final contest because he can't compete financially. This must change. Hey, how 'bout a grassroots underground movement to write him in, with Mike Gravel for vice. (Gravel was the straight talking spoiler at the Democratic debates, for those who missed that). Oh, if only we could stop voting for smiles, poses, and empty promises. SI still can't find a link to the video, but I found the place that invented the technology.

The sad thing is that voices like his are no longer welcome among 'conservatives' in the US. Even if his ideas are wrong, they used to form at least one core section of American conservatism, and I think it's sad that conservatives like me are now forced to vote either for Bible thumping neo-cons or Bible thumping neo-liberals. Or I can vote Green Party or Libertarian. For other rational conservative thinkers (other than Pat Buchanan, whose domestic politics I abhor but whose foreign policy ideas are old school conservative) google Michael Scheuer, Robert Baer, William Lind, and Fabius Maximus (the one still alive, not the Roman). The other odd figure in the run up to the war was Sen. Robert Byrd. Once a Klan member, now one of the last defenders of the Constitution. Here he is in 2003 http://byrd.senate.gov/speeches/byrd_speeches_2003september/ byrd_speeches_2003september_li/byrd_speeches_2003september_l i_1.html He's our Cicero, and don't forget that the Roman Cicero was rewarded for his defense of the republic by having his head and hands nailed to the rostrum in the senate.

We're talking thousands not hundreds of years back, and it's flat out astonishing how promiscuous we humans were, and I mean that in the traveling not nookie sense of the word. So in your 'all Scandinavian' past you'll almost certainly find the odd Arab or Jew or Hungarian or whatever. There are two main kinds of testing being done in this sort of research. The maternal lines are traced using mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited exclusively from our mothers and in theory should never change at all. mtDNA was the first to be used in this ancient human history research, so the process is more refined and the results are more agreed upon in the literature. Y chromosome DNA is (obviously) only found in men. Since it's not supposed to be an exact copy like mtDNA it's a richer source of genetic information but for technical reasons that are beyond me it's harder to work with and there is much more scholarly argument about the results.

There's a lot of tasty electric playing on that CD too, the guy's a very clean & articulate player & his brother - who played on it, too - is simply a monster on bass.

Check under your "device setup" menu in Cubase, is it possible you've got the wrong driver selected? IOW you're using the MOTU as your main niterface, but you've got a generic Windows ASIO driver picked as the master (so it's passing sound, but not in sync). I would start there, then check all the other settings under "devices" & related stuff.

I noticed you mentioned something like: "forget MIDI" amongst other things... what's wrong wih the MIDI? I use MIDI a LOT in Cubase & have never found any kind of problem with it - it's easy & bug-free, from my perspective. Now I'll grant you, I'm not on C4, I'm still on SX3, so I can't speak to anything specific to version 4, but I'm curious... what MIDI-related issues are you having?

Are these the ten "secret" reasons?I think real conservatives, like Ron Paul and (I hope) me, realize that there are times when we have to kill people. And that's what war is about, killing an maiming other humans. Land mines blowing up kids for the next hundred years and limbs turned to meat. So conservatives like me believe in waging war as truly a last resort, when strategically necessary, but when it must be waged it should be waged as fiercely as possible and for the shortest time possible. I honestly think your opinion of our current Mesopotamian capers would be different of the war were fought by Great Danes. TCB "DJ" <www.aarrrrg
