I wish this was more than 2 verses long, but the format of the show means you only have about 2 minutes to make an impression:
She won the show with this one:
Stay With Me Baby (Lorraine Ellison)
There's a short documentary about her life. It's a harrowing watch. Another life saved by music.

Thanks for that. She's a true entertainer. Maybe not the world's greatest voice, but it's the way she uses it - the whole package.
If you like soul music, here's someone with less stage presence but a remarkable voice. And unlike Courtney, she really did come from nowhere.
The audition:

Ah, son of Godzilla. :D They were rare here, unusual because we were awash with R32 Skyline GTRs.
I had a very different playground - it was almost all city / urban driving. I somehow avoided ever getting a ticket. Bridgestone S-03. They were especially good in the wet. They had a graduated...

The patent is linked to from their website. (Actually, in the comment from Techspot at the bottom of the page.)

I suggest you try Gearslutz Forum, if you haven't already. But by all means update here if you get some good tips, because many audiophiles also face the problem of a rat's nest of wires behind the equipment shelves.
A wife awoke early one morning to find her husband wasn't in bed. She found him in the lounge, sobbing.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"Well, today is our wedding anniversary", he replied. "You remember when your father, the sheriff, found out you were pregnant and said if I didn't marry...
The idea may have its roots in the symbol used for drawing diodes in electrical schematics.
The only time I've ever found spikes to be useful is in preventing speakers and equipment racks from putting flat spots in carpet. They improve the sound by reducing the level of disapproval from the...
Tracks are never "mastered to optimise the signal frequency-domain". They are mastered to sound how the mastering engineer and producer, at a minimum, want them to sound. For previously mastered releases, this means the way they sound through a traditional "frequency domain optimised" chain...

There are several problems with that:
- The area of solar panels required per car to replace the daily driving energy usage.
- The need for batteries to store the electricity generated during the day so it can be used to charge the car at night. (Unless you work a night shift...)
- The cost...
Well, that was a shock to the eyeballs...
I can handle banners at the top of major pages, such as when first landing on the home page, or the first page of a section.
