(At least to the best of my knowledge) http://www.upworthy.com/the-final-epic-a...?g=3&c=ufb1 So I wonder what a good bit of brass playing would sound like in space? You up for it Mac?

It's one of the coolest videos I've ever seen on the Internet, to be perfectly honest! Ole

I had a gauge set in front of me. Honestly, I was trying to keep from crapping my pants and clenching my leg and stomach muscles to keep from passing out - I don't know how else to put it - to pay attention to what the gauges were saying. I don't know how fighter jet pilots do it. When I flew with Bob, he was 74+ years old and he was talking through the whole flight, except in those real hi-G maneuvers. Talked through them like they were brain stem activity, which maybe they are for him. I honestly thought I was going to die a couple times in both flights, but with a big old smile on my face. A smile of terror. Does that make sense? I can see how someone could get addicted to the thrill like he is. He's so addicted that he's laid out major coin for these planes and to have them maintained and ready to fly. The LR-39 didn't cost him much more than a high-dollar sports car. He never told me how much he paid for the Alpha Jet. The LR-39 had the feeling of a kit-car, but smooth. The turns in the Alpha Jet were gut-wrenching. I at least remembered to bring my camera on that flight! However, trying to hold it up high enough to get good shots during turns is a real challenge when your arms are so heavy! I'll post some of the choice shots on my Imageshack account. Can't imagine sustaining those Gs for long enough to escape falling to earth gravity. My Songs, photos, writing,etc. My Sound Cloud

Take a good look at the wrinkles around the old man's eyes, my friend. Those are G-lines. In my case, other health-related issues, plus the fact that I'm more content to sit behind a keyboard than a dashboard, caused me to turn in my ticket. That and its just too darned expensive if Uncle Sam ain't payin' for it. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

I originally posted it as I thought it was in context of the cool video that was posted regarding Hadfield, I thought that the spoof was relevant and would continue the topic. I'm not sure I would have liked to go into space - at least not the hard work that had to have been required to even be considered. Just being honest with that comment.

Make fools of themselves by believing something that isn’t true. (2). Causes others to spread false info. That kind of takes the “LOL” out of it for me Scott.

The problem is, the evening news whether right, centrist or left leaning does exactly the same thing. I get equally mad about the misinformation spread by talking heads on Fox News as I do listening to Amy Goodman & cohorts on Democracy Now on NPR. So, to me, these sites/publications that basically poke fun at folks' willingness to believe anything put in front of them as long as it aligns with their pre-conceptions is refreshing. Anyways, I really didn't want to go down that path - but I think that's why sites like the Onion and this Beaverton site exist. I will edit my post so that people know it's a joke.

Jean and one other employee were there. I got a great tour of the place and it only further increased my fanaticism for this maker. Way to go Larrivée and Hadfield. -Scott My Songs, photos, writing,etc. My Sound Cloud

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
