SkyScreamer, the newest sensation in swing rides, has taken flight at Six Flags St.Louis! Famed pilot Erik Lindbergh and Wings of Hope pilots took the inaugural first flight. Standing at 236-feet, SkyScreamer is the tallest ride in the park and the centerpiece of Six Flags St. Louis' 40th anniversary season.
Each of the double, open air swings provides a front row seat for the 32 guests that climb to the top of the SkyScreamer during each flight. Spinning round and round, with feet dangling, guests soar in a 98-ft. circle at speeds up to 43 mph. The massive "world" globe that sits atop the bright, multicolored SkyScreamer tower can be seen from miles away.

Being one who loves to indulge in the fear of things that go bump in the night, I used to sneak downstairs and quietly watch the Creature Feature movie hoping not to wake up mom and dad. If they caught me I knew that the only thing that would go bump in the night was me. Still sometimes I would hear the approach of slippers and then I would shut the TV off and hide. As soon as I would hear that he was at the far side of the basement I'd make my move and and gun it up the stairs...

"the trip", like all the other songs from our album "first",recorded 1971 by Conny Plank for PILZ-records (now available as CD on ohrwaschl-records), was our "real krautrock"-song.
never it was the same song twice; we totally improvised it each time we played it. only structured thing was the guitar melody-theme from Harald Thoma and me singing along with it.(find out, when you hear it live 1991 )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh3VN_I5gSg
unfortunately Harald Thoma doesn´t appear in this video, because he was about to get draughted by the army and our manager replaced him with the red-haired Jürgen Schneider. Short time after that we fired the manager and brought back Harald Thoma to the band.
The sound you hear is the original line-up:
Andreas Cornelius - drums; Joachim Schiff - bass; Harald Thoma - guitar,vocals; Rainer Wahlmann - vox, harp

HOLD ME Lyrics
Music: Maini Sorri
Lyrics: Gary Cornman
1. I'm feeling really down
I hope you come around.
Hold me real tight with all your might.
2. Hold me every way
Hold me throughout the day.
Feeling upside down about to drown.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
Hold me.
3. Just hold me in this room
to help me out of gloom.
Hold before you go I feel so low.
4. I want your loving hugs
just like addictive drugs
never got enough of hugging stuff.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
Hold me.
Hold me in the night and make it bright
reaching out for you to get me out of blue.
Hold me.
5. I'm feeling really down
I hope you come around.
Hold me real tight with all your might.
6. Hold me every way
Hold me throughout the day.
Feeling upside down about to drown.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
Chore: Hold me, just hold me
Don't let me sit here alone
you can just pick up your phone
Hold me, just hold me
I need that you will stop on by
you can dry a teary eye.
Als 1988 Audi den ersten A8 vorstellte überwogen die Stimmen der Skeptiker – das kann doch gar kein Erfolg werden. Als die Ingolstädter 1994 mit der zweiten Generation erstmals in der Großserie die selbsttragende Aluminiumkarosserie einführten, mokierte sich teilweise der Wettbewerb – das ginge gar nicht, das sei viel zu teuer und nach Unfällen würden die Reparaturkosten immens sein. Nun man irrte sich. Nach anfänglichen Akzeptanz-Schwierigkeiten mauserte sich das Audi-Flaggschiff zum Erfolgsmodell. Die jetzt gründlich überarbeitete vierte Generation, die im November beim Händler steht, soll dies möglichst noch toppen. Der Einstiegspreis beträgt 75.400 Euro. Mit 5,14 Meter Länge, 2,99 Meter Radstand, 1,95 Meter Breite und 1,46 Meter Höhe ist der A8 in seinen Abmessungen gleich geblieben; beim A8 L kommen in Radstand und Länge je 13 Zentimeter dazu. Beibehalten wurde natürlich auch der Leichtbau. Die Karosserie besteht nahezu komplett aus Aluminium und wiegt – in der Audi Space Frame-Bauweise konzipiert – lediglich 231 Kilo und auch das Gesamtgewicht des A8 3.0 TFSI stellt mit 1.830 Kilo einen Bestwert unter den Wettbewerbern mit Allradantrieb dar. Darüber hinaus gibt es noch zahlreiche optionale Assistenzsysteme, die das Fahren im A8 noch souveräner machen. Die adaptive cruise control mit Stop&Go-Funktion ist mit einer Ausbaustufe des serienmäßigen Sicherheitssystems Audi pre sense basic gekoppelt, das Gleiche gilt für den Audi side assist. Neu im A8 sind der Audi active lane assist, der die Lenkungsrichtung gegebenenfalls leicht korrigiert, und der Parkassistent mit Umgebungsanzeige, der die Lenkarbeit beim Parken übernimmt. Das ebenfalls neue Head-up-Display projiziert wichtige Informationen im Sichtbereich des Fahrers auf die Windschutzscheibe und der Nachtsichtassistent kann neben Fußgängern jetzt auch größere Wildtiere erkennen.Da bleiben also kaum noch Wünsche offen – allerdings bewegt man sich dann in Preis-Regionen von weit über 100.000 Euro. Muss man ja nicht alles haben. Für die Ingolstädter ist ein derartiges Angebot aber wichtig, um die Ansprüche betuchter Käufer zum Beispiel im Nahen Osten oder in China erfüllen zu können.
A party that started at 8,000 feet high and thousands on-ground looking up into the sky, ended as the most intense party on earth, especially for MaryJo Villar from Houston who jumped off the Takis helicopter and skydived into the by-invitation-only event. Villar won the Takis Airdrop Face the Intensity photo contest by submitting a picture of her first-ever skydiving jump on the 2-million-fan Takis USA Facebook page.
