Post Two: Installing Roms / Kernels / Tweaks
Post Three: Panic Section / FAQ / Miscellaneous
Unlocking The Bootloader And Obtaining Root
*This part of the tutorial is geared towards Windows users. I have a windows machine and will post instructions only on methods I personally have tested. This guide will assist other users. Once we unlock and root your device: this guide will be relevant to everyone.*
Time required:
20-40 minutes.
Setting up ADB for our device:
Download the AndroidSDK onto your computer.
Note: Google changes their mind every other week as to if this will be distributed as a .zip or an .exe. If you get an .zip file, simply extract the contents to your C:\ drive. For an .exe install it like you would any other program, but set the path directly to the C:\ drive when the installer asks.
Or...you can use this page to download the "ADB for Dummies AIO App."
This will automatically install ADB for you to your C:\ directory. It's very very simple this way.
If your platform-tools folder doesn't have a fastboot.exe, place this fastboot.exe file in your C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools (or possibly simply called tools, if you set up ADB ages ago) folder.
Now you have ADB installed! Congratulations.
Unlocking the Bootloader:
This will perform a factory reset on your device. You'll lose all applications. You'll lose everything. Even the data on your SD Card! Backup your SD to your computer BEFORE performing this. There is a method for backing your applications up, detailed HERE.
Get the drivers:
Uninstall any previously attempted drivers if they don't work and move to the next.
Samsung's website has a download here under "Manuals & Downloads > Software."
Option Two: Try this one as well. Use CyanogenMod's Guide for installing ADB - Steps 16 through 27 replacing the file/location with the naked drivers.
PDAnet's drivers may work if the above options don't. Simply install PDAnet (after uninstalling any previous attempted driver installations) to get the drivers.
While that is downloading, on your Galaxy Nexus: turn USB debugging on.
This can be found in Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging
Once the drivers are installed, navigate to the C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder on your computer.
Hold shift and right click. Select "Open Command Window Here."
On your phone: turn USB Debugging On. This can be found in Settings>Developer Settings.
Plug your phone into the computer. Now in this command window type:
adb reboot bootloader(Hit Enter)
Your phone should now boot into a screen with a green android with his chest exposed.
Type this:
fastboot oem unlock(Hit Enter)
If your Command Prompt displays the message "waiting for device" your driver wasn't successfully installed.
Close the Command Prompt window and open Device manager while your phone is still plugged in. (Search for it using the search option).
Right Click the "Android" option and select Update Driver. Choose to "Browse My Computer" and "Let Me Pick From A List." Pick the Samsung driver with the newest date and install it. Now retry the code above.
Your phone will ask if you want to unlock it. Select "Yes" by using the volume keys and use power to select it.
Now, navigate to "Recovery Mode" with the volume keys. Use power to select.
A screen with another Android will pop up. Press Volume Up and Power at the same time.
Select Factory Reset. This process may take a few minutes. Be patient and let it work.
Once finished, select "Reboot."
Your phone is now unlocked!
Obtaining Root Access and Custom Recovery:
Turn on USB Debugging in Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging.
Download the following:
SuperSU (CWM .zip)
CWM (Pick the version for your device [GSM/SPRINT/VERIZON])
Place the recovery-clockwork-VERSIONNUMBER-toro.img (or the recovery-clockwork-VERSIONNUMBER-toroplus.img if you're a Sprint user. Or the recovery-clockwork-VERSIONNUMBER-maguro.img if you're a GSM user) file into your C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder.
Put the SuperSU.zip on your phone.
Open another Command Prompt if it isn't still open. (Navigate to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools and shift + right click. Select "Open Command Window Here.")
With your phone plugged in type:
adb reboot bootloader(Hit Enter)
And wait for your phone to boot into the android again.
Now type:
fastboot flash recovery IMAGENAME.img(Change the file name to the correct file name and Hit Enter)
Once that is finished: select the "Recovery Mode" option again on your phone.
You should get a new recovery menu here. Select "install zip from sd card" and "choose zip from sd card."
Find the SuperSU.zip that you transferred earlier and select "Yes" to installing.
Navigate back to "Reboot" and reboot your phone.
You're now rooted!
However, ClockworkMod Recovery won't continue to load after this.
To fix this, find "Rom Manager" from the market. (The free version is fine.) Use the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" option.
If your recovery still doesn't stick around after a reboot, you have another couple options. Find a file explorer that allows root access, such as Root Explorer. Use this program to rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to /system/etc/install-recovery.bak. You'll need to mount the system as r/w to do this. Root Explorer provides a button at the top to do so.
Or, you can do this completely manually by firing up ADB again and running a few commands:
adb shell(Hit Enter)
su(Hit Enter)
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system(Hit Enter)
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.bak(Hit Enter)
Your phone is now unlocked, rooted, and has a custom recovery!
Continue reading the next posts for info on getting custom roms, kernels, tweaks, and more!
***I take no responsibility for what happens to your phone due to following this guide! That being said, not only am I sure you'll be fine...but there are an endless amount of users who would be glad to help if you need it.***
Google, for making Android a reality.
VanillaTbone, for the ADB AIO app.
Efrant, for posting about a bootloader locking utility without USB.
Droid-Life, for a previous guide that I used as an outline while writing this one.
ClockworkMod team, for being a part of making our phones as awesome as they are.
The assorted developers, who continue to push out amazing material for us to use.
The awesome community, for endlessly supporting both Android itself and its users.

The Government of Turkmenistan strengthens capacity in the juvenile justice system
Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, 16 August 2010 – The United Nations Children's Fund jointly with the National Institute of Democracy and Human Rights of Turkmenistan has conducted a two day workshop on alignment of the Turkmen juvenile justice system with the international standards. This took place in Mary city. The workshop included Mary velayat representatives from the law enforcement agencies, local municipalities, health and education officials, as well as the Youth Organization and the Women's Union of Turkmenistan.
The second workshop on alignment of the juvenile justice system with the international standards will be conducted on 20-21 August 2010 in Ashgabat for high level governmental officials.
The purpose of these workshops is to introduce participants to the international standards as they apply to the administration of juvenile justice and principles of dealing with young offenders at every stage of the due process of the law. The participants get introduced to the methodology of dealing with children and their families who are in conflict with the law. The workshops also focus on rehabilitation and reintegration of young offenders back to civil society.
The workshops are being facilitated by international experts from the Essex Children's Legal Centre, the United Kingdom.
This capacity building effort is an integral part of the ongoing national legal reforms announced by the President of Turkmenistan and is designed to support the implementation of the Strategy for Juvenile Justice Reform. The Strategy is aimed at the development of a child friendly and child right compliant justice system with an access to institutional services and community rehabilitation and reintegration support, as well as strengthened coordination and monitoring mechanisms.

If youve been to Tanner Creek Park in West Linn recently, you may have noticed a band of unfamiliar creatures milling about and munching the grass in a fenced off area.
About 70 goats from the Yoder Goat Rentals company arrived at the park in early June as part of an effort to rid the area of invasive blackberries. In the process, they also became a popular attraction for families and young children.
Theyre really popular, everybodys been really happy with them, Parks and Recreation Director Ken Worcester said. And (Yoder) was really good letting people get close to them, setting up petting days, things like that.
Of course, the goats were really there to perform an important job one that would have been difficult for the parks department to complete without some furry help.
Its a complex area for us to get into, Worcester said of the 2.5 acre space the goats occupied. We cant really get equipment in there, but its easy to cordon off for the goats.
Indeed, Worcester said goats were also brought in to clear space when the park was being built 12 years ago. The parks department deploys goats semi-regularly in the less accessible areas across West Linn.
Theyve done a good job, Worcester said. Theyre not too discriminating about what they eat, but thats OK. We kind of know that going in.
There are some areas where goats arent the best answer, but in this case they were.
The goats left the park earlier this week, but may return later this summer in a different location.
We might move them into Wilderness Park for awhile, Worcester said. It would be more toward the end of the summer for some ivy.

Rod & Main Bearings - What Kind to Get for BBC
I'm in the process of tearing my piece of junk apart, and I may need Main and Rod bearings. It's a 454 Hi-Perf Street Motor Application
It appears I have standard size main and rod journals.
What kind of bearings should I get? Never done this before.
Is there a certain brand or material or "type" I should be searching for? I've seen sets of bearings from like $15 up to like $125 - made from different materials and different manufacturers. I don't have a lot of money, so can you please recommend only what is "necessary" not the most expensive all-out-racing bearings please.
For your application any tri-metal type bearing will work.
As for brands. Look for Clevite, Mahle, Fed-Mogul. All are good.

Automotive K-9 Upholstery & Carpet Mitt
It'll Get Fido's Hair Off There!
The K-9 Mitt makes pet hair cleanup quick and easy! Just wipe away pet hair from car seats and carpet.
One trip to the park, beach, or veterinarian with even the most well groomed pooch can wreak havoc on your car's interior. We love our pets, but most of us can't stand loose pet hair. Left on car seats, Fido's fur finds its way onto clothing and into everything! In a world where appearance is everything, we always want to step out looking our best. Finally, there's a quick fix to the dog hair dilemma… and the best part… you don't need to drag out the vacuum!
This handy K-9 Mitt Upholstery Mitt makes dealing with dog hair quick and easy. So small it can be kept conveniently in your car. It's the simple way to collect unwanted loose hairs and other debris, and it works greyhound fast!
There are two sides to every story… the K-9 Mitt is no exception. It's covered with a stiff but gentle hook material on one side and a durable terrycloth on the other, giving the K-9 Mitt dual cleaning surfaces. The hook side is great for lifting and removing even stubborn dog hair. The terrycloth side can be used to buff away "nose print" and other tell tale signs that man's best friend has been a recent passenger.
Ease of use is key with the K-9 Mitt. Just slip it over your hand and wipe. Use a sweeping motion to remove dog hair with the "hooked" side. The terrycloth side can be used dry or slightly damp. It's that easy!
The K-9 Mitt is safe to use on upholstery and carpet and is manufactured and assembled to last! Use it over and over again! It's machine washable and quickly air dries.
So go ahead, bring Rover for a ride! The K-9 Mitt makes clean up a breeze. Keep one at home and one in the car. Spend less time cleaning, and more time playing fetch!

There was a time we would kiss at every red light.
I don't just mean a peck. I mean full makeout sessions until the
stoplight turned green. I remember thinking: "Will we always be
like this?"
A decade and two kids later, the answer is, of course,
"No." My husband and I love and appreciate each other, and we still
have a spark, but we don't always put our love life
Who knew technology could help?
While mobile devices are often blamed for tearing couples
and families apart, technology isn't all bad.
If used appropriately, technology can help couples
reconnect, says Amy Stewart, a Streeterville-based psychotherapist
who specializes in sex therapy. "Once you have kids, it's hard. It
gets boring. It gets routine. You need to spark things up," says
Stewart. "Technology can help."
Texting or emailing sexy messages throughout the day,
video chatting while away from each other or connecting via mobile
applications can help couples bond, says Stewart.
Unlike my husband, I'm not a big app person. I usually get
all huffy when I see him fiddling with his phone. But we put a few
apps to the test. From surreptitiously leaving love messages on
sticky notes throughout the house to communicating through a game

Star-Shaped Probability Weighting Functions and Overbidding in First-Price Auctions
Olivier Armantier, and Nicolas Treich
TSE Working Paper
n. 09-024, March 2009
Olivier Armantier, and Nicolas Treich, "Star-Shaped Probability Weighting Functions and Overbidding in First-Price Auctions", TSE Working Paper, n. 09-024, March 2009.
There is a debate about whether risk aversion is the main source of overbidding in a first-price independent private values auction. As an alternative, we adopt a non-expected utility framework, and identify an interpretable property on the probability weighting function which always induces overbidding.

Rescued from slavery, Nepali performers rediscover magic of the circus
By Katie Nguyen
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - As a little girl, Doli from Nepal found it hard to resist the thrill of the circus, its breathtaking acts, daring performers and dazzling costumes.
When scouts came looking for children to join the big tops in India, she was captivated.
"The circus sounded like a magical place, so I wanted to go, too," she recalls in a teaser for a documentary about Nepal's first and only circus, made up of rescued victims of human trafficking.
For decades, Nepali children have been targeted by circus scouts from India where the spectacle, which has been dying in many other countries, still draws crowds.
Often sold by their parents hoping to give them a better life or to escape poverty, many children in the most exploitative circuses are deprived of schooling, forced to learn punishing routines and beaten if they fail, activists say.
"The trainer ... if we couldn't do it, would hit us with a twisted wire," says another young woman in the film, "Even when I fall".
The feature-length documentary, which is still in production, tells the story of three Nepali women who met as teenagers after being rescued from circuses in India, and focuses on their attempts to overcome a childhood spent in forced labor.
One of them was so young when she left Nepal that she did not know her real name. Continued...

Silicone Versus Saline Breast Implants Explained: With Demo Cutting [Video]
- VVartanian
- Last updated: 3 years ago
Since the FDA approval of Allergan's 410 "gummy bear" silicone implant in February 2013, there's even more choice when it comes to choosing the right implant. Toronto-based cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Jerome Edelstein, demonstrates the difference between saline, silicone and the new cohesive silicone gel (a.k.a. the gummy bear) implant in this (sugar-free) video.

Usually, Mathematica returns a syntacticly correct expression
unevaluated when it does not know what to do with it. Plot will return
some pair of axes. For instance, if one evaluate the following

draws a pair of axes.

Rattle on start up. Has new dr vanos already
I have a 2005 330 CI that has a rattle upon coldstart up. It is done it before the vinous change and after the Venice change and I'm wondering if I could have a timing chain tensioner starting to go out or the timing chain could be slapping the cover a little bit it only does it for a few seconds on start up but it worries me if something could be failing. the car only has 85,000 miles on it. It almost has a sound of that is when you change the oil on the car and it rattles for second till it builds pressure back up and I'm wondering what you all think that could possibly be thank you for any help
Have you verified that the noise is coming from the VANOS/timing chain area? Sometimes starter motor gears will hang up, or it could be pulley noise.
You could find out a lot from pulling the valve cover. If you have verified that the source of the noise is under there, that would be the next step, IMO.
I would think it wouldn't be the starter either. I had to put a new starter in it about 3 months ago
What oil are you using?
You do know new vanos has a break in period, right?
The timing chain guides haven't seemed to give us any issues yet...at least, I can't recall reading of one go bad...at least not in NA engines, so I wouldn't worry about that.
The exhaust mani heat shield (riveted onto mani gasket) seems to rattle. Exhaust components might too (the front bracket seems to rust apart).
Could be pulleys beginning to complain.
I have the same problem. Although mine does not seem to care if the motor is cold or at operating temp. And it is intermittent. My guess is a collapsing lifter. It only takes one or two seconds for the noise to go away and then it is quiet. Car is an 05 330I with 68K. Well maintained previously and currently.
I am fairly new to the E46 and motor issues so I am not sure what else could cause this. Has anyone had an issue with lifters on these cars?
The engine seems pretty bullet proof. Well maintained is good and honestly, I think your PO would have had to have been an idiot to do something that would affect the lifters. Having the correct oil seems to help a lot of this.
Pulleys will also make raspy sounds intermittently...check belt condition and make sure the tensioners are holding belt flat between pulleys.
And to clean things up generally, Techron--the only additive my car has seen.
I will definitely check belt tensioners but is there a timing chain tensioner that could cause this? Or is this the classic Vanos rattle I hear so much about?
I think it's a tensioner or idler pulley. The tensioner itself might be fine...see if the belts are running flat between pulleys. If the belt is hopping, the tensioner isn't good.
No one that I recall in an ordinary non-M, non-turbo e46 has had an issue with timing chain tensioner/guide. I'm sure someone has, but they probably have over 200K miles at least or been doing stuff to engine.
If one pulley is bad, replace all three--make sure you know what tensioners you have before you order pulleys.
Oh, use a hose as stethoscope and verify the source...or remove belt and spin pulleys...if it spins freely, it's bad. It should stop in a rotation or two. Anyway, at that point, I'd just have them handy and replace them...and belts. Autozone sells dayco pulleys are are OE (INA brand) if you didn't know.
Search pulleys in thread titles...you'll find out all you need.
The car has all new idler pulleys from when I did a oil filter housing gasket. it also has a brand-new water pump and belts. I'm running royal purple in the car but it's been doing it ever since I bought the car with the factory BMW oil that was in it before
If it the vanos, you can put your ear to the vanos area and hear the rattles. If this doesn't help find the source, more than likely its the bearings on the pulleys.
Take a video of the noise...
I had a start up rattle too and then eventually it just disappeared. I think mine was a exhaust problem...
My car rattles for a second when i start it cold, but when its warm it doesnt. The rattle doesnt sound engine related at all so i just ignore it.
I have noticed that my header gasket flaps were moving loosely so that could be it.

The Best 5 Streaming TV Services In The USA
Streaming services have been successful in capturing a large market share from the all-powerful cable companies. This has created a whole new breed of viewers, who are appropriately called 'cord cutters'. The streaming services are growing bigger and bolder and are excited to offer their customers a better selection and experience on their respective platforms. Here is a comparison of some of the best streaming services in the United States, so that you can make your own pick.
Netflix & Chill has become an urban slang and that says a lot about the popularity of this service. Not only is Netflix one of the first services to offer streaming services to its clients, it is also one of the most loved across the world. One of the major reasons for its popularity is the excellent collection of content that is offered on it. The user interface of the service has dramatically improved over the years. There is an effective recommendation system in place as well, which makes it more engaging and easier to use. Then, there is the whole lot of original programming that includes hit shows like House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and many others. However, when compared to other services, Netflix is a little pricier and its packages start at a monthly fee of $9. Though there is a good selection of content, there are not a lot of brand new shows or movies to watch.
Hulu Plus
This is another biggie in the streaming space in the US. If you are a TV junkie, this is a service for you. Hulu Plus has an excellent selection of latest television programming, along with some original content for its customers. This is the most inexpensive of all streaming services at only $8 per month. But, this streaming service is rigged with ads all over and it is not as easy as Netflix to navigate through its content collection either. Moreover, if you are a movie buff, this is not the service that you should go for. The complete collection of movies on Hulu Plus is, at best, OK.
Amazon Prime
As an Amazon product, this comes with the promise of quality content selection at a decent price of $99 per year. The content on Amazon Prime is new, regularly updated, and there is a lot of it. So, the subscriber gets a lot of options to choose from. There are good original shows on offer too. Owing to its Viacom deal, Amazon Prime offers a more comprehensive selection of comedy and kids' programming, than other streaming services. The HBO favorites like The Wire and The Sopranos are also available on Amazon Prime.
Amazon Prime also includes many Amazon benefits like exclusive access to Kindle books, music, videos, and so on. There is also the free two-day delivery included in these benefits, which makes Amazon Prime a great deal for anyone who is an online shopaholic. One big letdown with Amazon Prime is that the monthly fee is quite high at $10.99.
At $20 per month, Sling TV is more expensive than many other streaming services.Then, why would you buy it? Good question. Here is a good answer. Sling.TV is basically offering you a service just like your cable connection, which means you get to watch live TV that is being aired on cable networks. But, you will only pay for what you want. You will not pay for any equipment installation, nor do you need to sign any contracts or undergo a credit check. It is basically cable television without the cable and its hassles. This is a huge blessing for sports fans, who were feeling left out when they embraced the streaming action. Now, they too can cut the cord, as Sling.TV offers both ESPN and ESPN2. These channels were not available on any other streaming service previously. Of course, Sling.TV also has all the other popular networks and you can pick from the buffet, whatever you like.
With Vue, Sony has entered the highly competitive live TV space. PlayStation Vue is almost like cable, both in programming and in price as well. Sony is offering three packages under Vue, with the most basic package, Access, costing a meaty $50. If you want more channels and content, then you will have to shell out $60 for the Core package, and $70 for the Elite package. Though the service offers a huge selection to its subscribers, it is only available in a few regions, including New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco. Of course, Sony will slowly take the service to the national scene in time.

Indian girl who wandered into Pakistan arrives home after 13 years
By Andrew MacAskill
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A deaf-mute Indian girl stranded in Pakistan for 13 years after wandering over one of the world's most militarized borders arrived home on Monday but failed to recognize the family she has identified from photographs.
The story of Geeta, a Hindu woman in her early 20s, has captivated people in both countries at a time of heightened tension and border clashes between the nuclear-armed rivals."It doesn't matter if we find her parents or not, she is a daughter of India and we will take care of her," Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj told a news conference.Geeta was about 11 when she crossed from India into Pakistan. Exactly how is not clear but Geeta mimes an explosion and shows how she ducked and ran before being caught by armed men.
At first, she was kept at a children's home in the city of Lahore, where she was given the Muslim name Fatima.
She would point at maps of India, especially to an area in the south of Jharkhand State until she was able to finally communicate she was from India, not Pakistan.
Early on Monday, Geeta left the charity bound for the airport in the city of Karachi for a flight to New Delhi.
Wearing a traditional red outfit with her head covered by a loose scarf, she smiled and waved to television cameras after leaving the airport in the Indian capital.
"Geeta stayed with us for 13 years. Now it's time for her to go home," said Faisal Edhi, son of the founder of Edhi Foundation, a Pakistani charity that looked after the girl.
She headed to meet a family from India's Bihar state whom she says she recognized from photos sent by the Indian High Commission in Pakistan. Continued...

Do women who are pregnant with twins, triplets or more exhibit special "symptoms"? Yes ... and no. Just as individual women experience a wide range of symptoms with a singleton pregnancy, so the conditions vary with multiples.

It's true that the morning sickness, exhaustion, and weight gain can be intensified in proportion to the number of babies -- twice as sick, three times as tired, or four times as many pounds! But, some lucky moms experience only mild discomfort, so mild that they never even suspect they are carrying multiples.

What are some of the signs of a multiple pregnancy?

Although it differs from woman to woman, some of the more common indications are:

* Weight Gain

Early weight gain of up to ten pounds in the first trimester can result due to increased blood volume and uterine size. By the end of the second trimester, most mothers of twins have gained fifteen to twenty-five pounds, whereas singleton pregnancies usually produce gains of ten to twenty pounds.

* Measuring large for gestational age

Increased uterus size can be a strong indicator of multiple pregnancy. However, most women measure larger and show earlier with subsequent pregnancies, so don't be alarmed if you can't fit into your jeans after six weeks of pregnancy with your second child even if you didn't wear maternity clothes until twenty weeks with your first baby.

* Severe morning sickness symptoms, including nausea and vomiting

Some moms of multiples do report that their symptoms were increased with twins, as opposed to their singleton pregnancies. Melissa, a mom of fraternal twins, remembers "I did have morning sickness with the twins, and did not have any at all with my two older sons. I lost 5 pounds during the first trimester." Nevertheless, she didn't learn she was carrying twins until three hours before delivery!

On the other hand, a mom of triplets reports, "I can't say that I noticed any big difference between my daughter and the triplets. I was actually sicker with my daughter than now with the 3."

Still unsure of your odds of conceiving twins? This quiz can help!

* Feeling fetal movement early in the pregnancy

There is some disagreement among medical professionals as to whether a woman carrying twins is more likely to feel movement earlier. But many moms do claim that those early flutters and flips were their first clue that they might be having more than one. Kim is a mom of two sets of twins, as well as a singleton. She says, "When I was pregnant with my boys, I knew I was having more than one baby. I had already had *one* baby and there was no way I was having just one. It was either two or an octopus!"

However, Jae experienced the opposite in her twin pregnancy. "As far as movement goes though, if I didn't know was having twins, I wouldn't have a clue. Because my daughter was a crazy baby in utero! She kicked and bounced and jumped around all the time. These two little guys so far, are no match for her! And I'm 21 weeks now!"

* Abnormally high results from an alphfetoprotein (AFP) test

For many mothers who do not experience any other extraordinary symptoms, this is the first thing that raises suspicions for them -- and their physicians. The AFP test measures a protein secreted by the fetal liver. More than one baby increases the amount of this protein in the mother's blood, and will produce a "high" result. Because a high result can also suggest abnormalities with a single baby, a doctor will usually schedule an ultrasound for further determination of the situation.

* Unusually extreme fatigue, not attributable to other factors

Nurturing one baby drains a body's energy, but carrying around two, three or more is positively exhausting! It's easy to dismiss the increased fatigue. If you've never had a baby before, you might be surprised by your lack of energy, but not realize it is out of the ordinary. If you have had previous singleton pregnancies, you might attribute the tiredness to being older or maintaining the responsibilities of family and work.

But fatigue is probably the most common complaint of mothers of multiples. A mom recalls that during pregnancy with her fraternal girls, "The biggest thing was the tiredness. Without fail, I could not keep myself awake past 3 PM. It hit me whilst I was driving one day. I managed to stay awake til I got home but as soon as I had turned the car off, I fell asleep (we were parked in the driveway) and stayed that way until my son, who was also sleeping in the car, woke me an hour later!

I have all of the above! Could it be multiples?

Check out our list of the Top Ten Signs of Twins/Multiples. If you suspect you are having multiples -- due to the enhanced symptoms described here, or other "gut" feelings -- talk to your medical provider. The only way to know for sure if you are carrying more than one baby is a thorough ultrasound performed by a trained professional in the second trimester.

Listening for dual heartbeats is tricky even for the most experienced obstetricians, even with Doppler technology. And an early sonogram isn't conclusive either. I have the pictures to prove it! My seven-week sonogram showed one perfect bean-sized bubble. (My identical girls have always been skilled at playing hide-and-seek!)

Are you having multiples? Share your symptoms.
Think you could be having twins? Take this quiz and check out your chances.

Los Angeles • A marine science instructor snorkeling off the Southern California coast spotted something out of a fantasy novel: the silvery carcass of an 18-foot-long, serpent-like oarfish.
Jasmine Santana of the Catalina Island Marine Institute needed more than 15 helpers to drag the giant sea creature with eyes the size of half dollars to shore Sunday.
Staffers at the institute are calling it the discovery of a lifetime.
"We've never seen a fish this big," said Mark Waddington, senior captain of the Tole Mour, CIMI's sail training ship. "The last oarfish we saw was three feet long."
Because oarfish dive more than 3,000 feet deep, sightings of the creatures are rare and they are largely unstudied, according to CIMI.

Nice decor but food wasn't good

I love this place!. It is casual and colorfully decorated. The seating is comfortable especially if you like booths. But listen, the food is fantastic. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a pleasant hostess and immediately seated. We were brought chips and salsa that was so delicious and spicy hot! We then had our waitress arrive minutes later and explained all the specials including a lentl soup . She took our order for drinks and didnt rush us or pressure us in ordering the entree. When we decided on our meal she immediately came over and took the order.I got the chicken fajitas and my wife got chicken quesidillas. We were brought our meals so quickly! My fajitas were in an iron dish with black beans green peppers and onions and a plethora of grilled chicken slices. I had a side dish of guacamole, sour cream, salsa, cheese, and lettuce then i had a plate of hot tortillas wrapped in a napkin. This was a fun and delicious meal. The service was great! The attentiveness was so responsive. The atmosphere was fun and casual. The check even after ordering two drinks was soooooooo reasonable. I will return here time and time again. Great place!

OMG! The food was terrible. We traveled to Philly today to have lunch at Adobe Cafe after seeing it listed on a news website. The waitress was pleasant and she recommended what she said were her favorite selections for me and my husband. Firstly, when he received his beverage the inside of the glass was dirty with food that had caked on the glass. UGH! Secondly, the food was hot but tasteless. My husband said his Fajita tasted awful as well. He could not finish it. I had the crab cakes which was missing the crab which had been substituted with bread crumbs. My sides with the entree were just as awful. The best thing about the experience were the nachos they placed on the table. Don't waste your time or money on the food. Sorry!

Adobe Café,
We recently partook in the takeout experience of Adobe Café. I thought it may be therapeutic for us and posed the minimal chance of you capitalizing on our feedback to improve; though realistically, your service and product will remain unchanged.
For starters, we placed our order and were told 20 minutes. Considering the size of the order, we were pleasantly surprised at the response that it would take such a short period of time to prepare 8 items. However, when we showed up to "take out" our order the wait continued for another 15 minutes. This resulted in a grand total wait time of 40 minutes in all from the conclusion of placing our order to completion of the transaction. I realize that 40 minute is more realistic expectation for an order of our size and you may as well. It would be nice if the person receiving our order had been so astute as to not waste our time standing and waiting in your establishment.
These large containers the dinner comes in gives the initial impression that you are receiving your money's worth; however, upon removal of the lid you will realize the first of many disappointing revelations about the Adobe Café's invention. I use "invention" because I consider this is to be the first instance anyone has ever intentionally created such a poor meal, other than as a practical joke.
After the initial reaction of disappointment we experienced, it was soon followed with regret. As we delved into our purchases, some were unsure if we had received another person's order. Tilapia Fish Tacos were little more than cheese with mashed fried tilapia, with an odd inconsistency of crunchy and soft. It is unclear if there was an actual taste to these things because of the overwhelming sense of sadness they emoted. One member of our party thought to herself "Don't worry, you only paid $15 for these". I do not think these words served as any real comfort to her.
The vegetables were limp and flat, while managing to lack any remnant of flavor they may have once had. Considering they make up 30% of the overall substance of a meal that cost an exorbitant amount of money, we were expecting it to serve as the rock-bottom, stoop no lower, base of this experience. Instead, it served only as a nail in the coffin to this disastrous dinner. Vegetables… anyone who manages to serve these in a sub-mediocre fashion must have done so as an attempt to mock the customer.
The Quesadillas may have been an accident by your cook(s). Perhaps they forgot to put in more than a sprinkling of cheese and chicken, after all, they may not realize that someone is paying $8 for just tortilla shells when they are absent of these defining ingredients.
The other item that failed to meet the qualifications the menu set so high in its item description was the Bean and Cheese Burrito, since it lacked cheese, and only contained beans and rice.
As some of us have decided to muster through our disappointment and the hot sauce we have doused our meals in for some semblance of flavor, we will now begin scrounging for a source of satisfaction to our hunger somewhere else. One thing is for sure, from this point on we have vowed to never ever, ever promote or patronize your establishment again. Thank you for making this decision easy, although the lesson was painful and costly.
P.S. This whole debacle may be our fault since we did not request our order extra plumpy.

The only reason that this place received one star is because the website required a rating. Otherwise this would have received a ZERO!!!!! NEVER plan a party here! The owner backtracked on our original price during the party and accused me of making him lose money. The food was ATROCIOUS! I was embarrassed that I had chosen this as the place for a party! Adobe Cafe will NEVER get my business again!

The texas ranchero seitan wings are TO DIE FOR. I have obsessive thoughts about them.
and their margaritas are phenomenal. Try the Mango margaritas.
My husband and I are vegetarians and love the selection, and we brought both of our families here for my birthday and EVERYONE was raving!

The Adobe is horrible, it was dark and dingy, the ceiling was falling down in the bar area, the waiting area and the bar area were dirty, there were flies along with other insects flying around from the side door being open. It was dark and I felt like they were trying to hide something. They had two televisions on one you couldn't get a clear picture and the other one was so small from the end of the bar you couldn't tell what inning the Phils were in.
The margarita's were weak and not tasty at all. I will never go back and spend my hard working money there.

some friends recommended adobe cafe, so i went on line and read the reveiws. some were good but at least half were bad. i wanted to try it for myself. i walked in and the place looked cute, beautiful patio area. there was alot of atomosphere and alot of atifacts on the wall, including mexican or southwestern rugs( that when you look at the tags on the back they say IKEA). the mojitos where great!! i ordered the taco salad with shredded chicken. when it came to the table, the etible bowl looked good but the shredded chicken was unrecognizable. at first i didnt know what it was.(mush). the flavor was ok. my partner matt ordered the carne asada and said that the meat was tender and delicious. so all and all it was just average, although the service was great!! somebody should call gordon ramsey, because the place needs help with the food, could be great but its more like taco bell.

I saw two oter really positive reviews from Texas transplants....I have either been ordering the wrong thing or the Texans are imposters. First of all, the food is not Mexican. I've seen other reviewers call it ""southwestern""... ok, fine. The chicken tacos are lousy. I think the shredded chicken is put in a food processor and mixed with tomatillos and something else. The texture is like a paste. Weird- tasting chicken paste. The refried beans look and taste like they are from a can. The rice too, had a weird flavor. Another occasion I ordered an entree of seared chicken with goat cheese and some other stuff. I thought the goat cheese was an unusual flavor match with Southwest spices, but I wanted to give it a try. I did and it was bad.
The atmosphere is cute, kinda quirky. The staff was friendly enough. Nice patio.
I really want to like the place because it's only a five minute walk from my house but the food is really disappointing. I love Mexican food more than experimental Southwestern food. The only great Mex. restaurant I've found is in Bucks Co. La Tolteca. Excellent.
07/21/2008Provided by Citysearch -
i love this place because of its ambiance and delicious SOUTHWESTERN food! the waitstaff couldnt be any nicer. it' a reasonably priced restaurant with great food, drinks, atmosphere, and people!! go there and check out what i'm talking about...you'll have a great time.

I remember one of the first stories I was assigned as a reporting intern in Lorain, Ohio was the death of a 9-year-old boy. All I remember is that he had a brain tumor, and that he loved baseball but couldn't play because of his illness — and yet still attended every game of his Little League team. As I interviewed his father for the obituary, he started crying, and I started crying. It was one of the toughest stories I've ever written.
I spent most of the afternoon of last December 14 pretty numb. The shooting deaths of 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School affected me more than any news event since — and possibly including, September 11. My wife is a teacher, and our 3-year-old is in preschool. It hit me like a sucker punch.
Toward the end of the day, I spoke with colleagues about the unfathomable horror of what happened in Connecticut. I thought about that obituary I wrote 20 years ago, and I couldn't imagine having to make those phone calls and knock on those doors. I knew it was important reporting that had to be done. But the writing — what would you say about their accomplishments? Their ambitions? Their survivors?
I wrote the tweet on my iPhone on my way out the door.
How do you write an obituary for a 5-year-old? Then how do you write 19 more?

I have a built shortblock up for sale that has just under 1,100 miles on it. The block is basically brand new, broken in, and ready to be dropped into your car. I babied this block 100% through the break in period and sadly never got to actually enjoy it because I decided to sell my car. This shortblock has Mahle Forged Pistons, Eagle Rods, ACL Race Bearings, all brand new gaskets, along with a brand new STi Crankshaft. THIS WILL FIT BOTH WRX and STi's! All the parts for the block were purchased brand new when they were assembled. All the work was done by Cobb Tuning in Huntington Beach, very nice shop, awesome mechanics, and great customer service. I still have the invoice of the time the shortblock was built for any proof the buyer might need of the parts installed and the price I spent on it which was well over $4500 for the block and labor of the machine shop. This shortblock is great for anyone who is looking to make some solid power on their car considering the fact that its capable of supporting 500-550whp. All the information on the internals is listed below along with some photos of the block. I am asking for $2500 shipped anywhere in the U.S, or $2300 picked up from my location in Anaheim Hills, California 92808. I am also willing to meet up within a 15-20 mile radius. More Information and Pictures below:

Rods: Eagle's Subaru connecting rods are made from 4340 steel, x-rayed, magnafluxed, sonic tested, and shot-peened to ensure optimal quality and strength. They are packaged in weight-matched sets that are within +/- 1 gram end to end. The Eagle connecting rods for the WRX & STi undergo a 2-piece forging process in China and are then shipped to the US for final machining and testing; making for a cheaper rod that is durable and precise. Eagle's EJ20, EJ255, & EJ257 WRX & STi rods include ARP 3/8" 2000 rod bolts for extensive ability to handle power and boost. 5.137" rod length.

2007 STS NORTH* electrical
I honestly can't tell what's going on with my car I have added another ground fyi.
So for starters when I roll ask Windows up at once the front two will roll back down by them selves..
Radio and cluster will dim and brighten by themselves..
My mpg readings freak out and say 56 mpg's (only once in a great while)
And tpms flashes saying it had no readings for any tire pressure....
I have taken it to my local Cadillac dealer and they say the problem was fixed..on the house (free)
I have no idea what to do but going some body has had this and knows what to do?
Re: 2007 STS NORTH* electrical
Let's move this from the Customer Care Forum for warranty and dealership complaints - up to the proper later "STS" forum.

Re: 2007 STS NORTH* electrical
That sounds like some kind of alternator issue, possibly. Do you have any codes stored?
Re: 2007 STS NORTH* electrical
What did the Cadillac dealer say the "fix" was? I'm assuming from how I read you post that these are the same symptoms you took it in for? When you say you added another ground, from where to where? I assume you mean the battery to chassis but please clarify. When was the last time the battery was load tested and/or replaced? What does the battery voltage read when these problems are actively occurring?
Re: 2007 STS NORTH* electrical
A failing battery is known to cause weird behavior. I'd bet the dealer checked the car over & found nothing wrong. Get the battery load tested; even new ones can fail. A type 78 fits 2007s and is a lot stronger.

Francis Coquelin is delighted to have been given a chance in central midfield this season.
The 21-year-old French youth international made 21 first-team appearances, mainly at full back, last term, but this year he has been used exclusively in the 'engine room', and he couldn't be happier.
"Yes, of course, this is always the position I want to play," Coquelin told the official matchday programme
"I'm happy to get a few chances there. I enjoyed playing full back too last season, I will play anywhere, I just want to play. But I'm really pleased this season because midfield is what I enjoy most."
Coquelin has featured eight times so far this season, including all 120 minutes of the recent 7-5 win over Reading, but he admits he is desperate to be involved on a more regular basis.
"Well obviously it can be hard, when you have tasted the Premier League, and tasted the Champions League, you want to play every week.
"But that's the same for every player, whether you are 17 or 32. I want to play every week. I'm a bit restricted because there are players ahead of me doing well, so I have to be patient, even though it's hard, and when my time comes it's up to me to show what I can do.
"I know if I perform well I'll play. I think every time I've been selected this season I have done well, so hopefully there will be plenty more chances coming for me."

Hi John,
I'd say that you did a good job of prediction and it may be a good place to start guessing at what compact camera features are likely to show up in the new models. There are a lot of features that we take for granted today that started out as gimics for the consumer/hobbiest, like auto exposure, program exposure and even auto focus. Now we have face and smile detection and focus/subject tracking, for example, and a new platform on which to play with them. It might be time to look at the feature sets of the digicams to see how the current crop are set up, wit their bells and whistles.
I can imagine that a PJ would appreciate face detection and focus tracking, if it had the needed processing power driving it faster than the digicams do now.
So, do you have any other predictions on what Ian can't tell us until hegets the Sushi flavored gag out of his mouth?

text: Posted January 10, 2009 Living in Arkansas, I hear of these 9 students and their brave actions almost on a daily basis. For those unfamiliar (or have been living under a rock for the past 50 years), let me give you a history lesson. The famous case, "Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka" did away with segregation in the United States. Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus was reluctant in letting 9 students enter Little Rock Central High School in the fall of 1957, and called the Arkansas National Guard. President Eisenhower then called the 101 Airborne, who came to Arkansas, and escorted these 9 students as they entered the school. These 9 have made appearances on Oprah, had a statue monument made in their honor, had a coin issued by the U.S. mint showing nine pairs of feet along with the feet of a soldier, been given the Congressional Medal of Honor, and have been invited to the Inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama next week. Now, let me tell you something I would wager that 99.9% of the folks on here don't know. The Little Rock Nine were NOT the first black students to attend an all-white school in the United States (as I've actually heard this statement on more than one occasion). They weren't even the first black students in the state of Arkansas. There were 2 students- Barbara Williams and Joe Ferguson (no, not the former Buffalo Bills QB), that attended Charleston High School in Charleston, Arkansas starting in the fall of 1954, 3 years before the Little Rock Nine. These were the first black students to attend an all-white high school, not only in Arkansas, but in the entire south- all 11 former Confederate States. What's the difference? Well, there were no calls to the National Guard, the President, no coins made in their honor, no invites to the inauguration, and most high school history classes don't even utter their names (other than the ones here in Charleston). There's a small monument at the school in their honor, but nothing significant. Just like the day Joe and Barbara entered the halls at CHS, it's been fairly quiet. No fanfair. I'm not trying to disregard what the Little Rock Nine accomplished. I would just like to spread a little light as to what really took place, and give credit where it belongs.

Insurance law covers the policies insurance companies offer and the rates they charge. Personal insurance standards include auto insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance. Business insurance standards usually include commercial liability insurance, errors and omissions insurance, malpractice insurance, and business interruption insurance. Each of these policies covers losses from different types of risk, and both the losses and the risks are carefully defined. It can take an insurance lawyer just to determine if your loss resulted from a risk you were insured for. Sometimes insurance companies deny claims, acting in what is legally called "bad faith." Insurance lawyers can determine if your insurer is treating you fairly and sue for you if the company is acting in bad faith.

Re: Do you miss having an elite defense?
For a while the trend was going to spread pass attacks and away from the run. Now the trend the sprint option, and teams that are not equipt to stop the run with basically just the DL and ILBs, are getting gashed wide open.
So defensively the #1 need IMO is a nose tackle and DL talent/ depth. We can find ilbs. Our projected starters Ellerbe and McClain were udfas. I think the pass D is in good shape with Webb getting back into the mix and Suggs hopefully bouncing back to form. I think we can draft or pick up a cheap vet to replace Kruger as the 3rd down rush specialist. The edges of our D are pretty well stocked and should not be tough to fortify. Up the middle does need a big influx of new talent and size to take on the run game and the huge TE passing threats.

Ok! I've been meaning to post pics of this for a few weeks now but I got sidetracked building up my bucket, as you do. :)
Anyway. I'd always fancied having a bash at building the ESB blaster as I think it looks so much better than the ROTJ version (don't mean to upset anyone). However I don't have access to tools, a workshop or much else come to think of it, but one thing I can get hold of here is sintra. So armed with a couple of sheets of 1mm and 2mm thickness and a craft knife, I set about this project.
Yes I know it's not really screen accurate as I have altered one or two things just because I didn't think they looked right and secondly because I had to make do with what I had. :facepalm
The only parts that are not sintra is the stock and the grip. The grip is made of modeling putty and the stock is made from some wood packing that came with my new wardrobe and which I carved with a craft knife and hand sanded to shape, a real ballache of a job if ever there was one.
For some reason the camera flash is bringing out the rust a bit too much and without it you can't see it :facepalm However there you go. Overall I'm pretty pleased with it but I will be upgrading to a aluminum D bracket when I can track down a source for the metal.
Let me know what you think of her guys.
Cheers :cheers

What Was Flarf?: Jordan Davis Reviews Diana Hamilton's Okay, Okay
Most poets need an income. Some of us teach or are freelance copywriters. Some of us work for nonprofits or consulting companies. Most of us, at some point, have worked in a cubicle, and all of us have to develop methods for creating time to write. We regularly recommend Frank O'Hara's Lunch Poems to young poets who have recently graduated from college and are struggling to adapt to their cubicle. After reading Jordan Davis's recent review for Constant Critic, we'll also recommend Okay, Okay, by Diana Hamilton.
Davis convincingly situates Hamilton's work within the framework of Flarf and Conceptual writing, but we're especially intrigued by the way he connects Hamilton's subject matter with the labor of writing. "Hamilton's book carries on the work of the Flarf and Conceptual poets," he writes, "but the Conceptual poets don't work, they write time and action plans, and if Flarf involves work it's analogous to the combining and rewriting that goes on during dreaming." Davis sets up this framework quite clearly early in the review:
Google as a tool for the making of art has had a separate life from Google as a prosthesis for navigating the world and its culture, the way the pencil has had separate lives in the studio and at the office. Taking up the disinterested Kantian aesthetics of the language poets, Flarf and Conceptualists have made a point of providing results for useless searches—unless you have a rabbit with mange, "rogaine bunny" is not something you'd look up to plan a course of action. Diana Hamilton's first book, Okay, Okay (available both for purchase in hard-copy and for free as a pdf from Truck Books), however, asks a serious and painful question: "how to stop crying at work." This search leads often to the kinds of message board and self-help material that Flarf has been criticized (unfairly, in my opinion) for appropriating condescendingly. It also leads to Human Resources best practices documents and scholarly work on emotion from before the dawn of Freudian psychology—the kinds of material Conceptualist works present as self-evidently interesting, without engaging the arguments or observations.
Davis argues that, while it is possible to Google-sleuth many of Hamilton's sources (as he does in his review) and to differentiate phrases she left alone versus the ones she modified, the book is much more satisfying and moving when considered as a whole:
The text shifts easily from one-source pages…to these collaged composites, building force like a narrative and voice like a monologue, though there is no narrative and no unitary speaker. It works just the way the avant-garde said it would—and so seldom does—because it is focused completely, in every clause, on strong feelings and how they are both felt and avoided. I thought at times of Katie Degentesh's The Anger Scale, another excellent work that uses collaged internet search results to get to the heart of things, and of Kevin Davies's "Lateral Argument," which remains the high score on the post-Language poetry video game.
And not all of Okay, Okay can be reverse-Googled:
From the apology for feeling in the Radioheadesque title to the ungoogleable narrative that closes the book, Okay, Okay is resolutely not an invitation to share an inside joke or an appeal to intellectual vanity. The feelings may be borrowed, quoted, distorted and inverted; they may take time to come into focus; nevertheless, they are real and strange and there every time the book falls open. Readers who have written off Flarf as either an "oh that" or an "I don't get it" experience will ignore this new mutation at their cost.
You'll find the complete review at Constant Critic.

Former Business Partners Plead Guilty to Racketeering for Fraudulently Profiting from the Sale of a Clayton County Home
Former business partners Melvin Hullett and Antonio Lewis pled guilty yesterday in DeKalb County Superior Court to Racketeering, O.C.G.A. § 16-14-4(c), before Judge Courtney L. Johnson for their role in fraudulently profiting from the sale of a
Hullett agreed to purchase the home of Lisa Conner, a real estate appraiser, for an inflated amount, and Conner allegedly forged a fraudulent appraisal to reflect the desired price of $450,000. Hullett applied for and obtained a loan from a mortgage company to purchase the residence at this inflated amount. In October 2004, he used the money obtained from the mortgage company to purchase the residence from Conner, and after the closing, Conner, Hullett, and Lewis split the proceeds from the sale between themselves.
Prior to the sale being finalized, Hullett applied for and obtained homeowner's insurance on the residence at the inflated value, falsely representing to the insurance company that he would occupy this property as his primary residence. In April 2005, someone deliberately set a fire to the home, causing significant property damage. Hullett subsequently made a claim for insurance proceeds with the insurance company for the policy limits, but the claim was denied based upon Hullett's misrepresentations in his application.
Hullett received a five year sentence, with the first six months to be spent incarcerated, followed by intensive probation. Lewis was sentenced to five years probation. Hullet and Lewis were ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $27,768.53, for which they are each jointly and severally liable. Charges against Conner are pending.
Assistant Attorney General Greg Lohmeier prosecuted Hullett and Lewis on behalf of the State of

Here's a great chance for anyone, specifically teachers and students, to be citizen scientists and be part of a real-life, real-world science test.
The Cameron Siler lab at the University of Oklahoma and the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History is launching the Oklahoma Infectious Disease Citizen Science Project. Basically you would gather information from the state's reptiles and amphibians. Researchers are specifically looking to track cases of chytridiomycosis or chytrid fungus. It's a deadly disease in amphibians.
Jessa Watters is the collections manager for herpetology at the Sam Noble Museum, she says "The project is important because we know so little about this life-threatening disease for amphibians in Oklahoma. Understanding where it occurs in the state can help us track its progress and work with state officials to protect amphibians that may be particularly at risk due to already low population sizes within the state. In other parts of the United States and globally, chytrid fungus has been blamed for local extinctions."
The lab is looking for help from teachers and students (or really anyone who wants to do a little science). All you need is access to a pond or stream. You'll get a kit with all the equipment you need, teachers will get a packet, and you'll be given resources online to to show how to collect the data and work in the field. "By having students help us collect the data, they will gain an appreciation for ponds and amphibians, and how things in their own neighborhoods are at risk. They will also learn how to correctly swab frogs in order to collect accurate and relevant scientific data" added Watters.

apartments have a nice deck where residents will often sit out and
watch the activities around campus.
The Residence Life staff in the building is available 24/7 to
help residents with almost any problem they may encounter during
their stay in the building. The Draper Apartments have a part time
professional staff member who lives in the building during the

text: Hey all, just picked up my 2013 CBS WRX Sedan today from the dealership this morning. I love everything about this car but I noticed this one flaw on the driver's side door trim, the wrapping/paint is chipped. I called my salesman and he kind of rushed me off the phone (I guess he was in the middle of the sale) and he said that they would take a look at it when I get the plates in two weeks or so. Should I call the service manager or give them a visit or just wait? Not sure how they would fix this without putting a whole new plastic trim on the edges. It's not extremely noticeable but I will pretty much look at it everytime I enter my car and the fact that the car is "new," it kind of annoys me.
